Metallica: Metallica (1991)
[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums.
[00:03]Actually, there is a gong on this Metallica album, if you wanted to start a sub with a gong, please.
[00:08]Oh, that is true.
[00:09]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to make it this podcast.
[00:17]Listen, I've already gotten in trouble tonight for being too loud, okay?
[00:22]And I have live proof of it that I will be playing later for you.
[00:25]We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research.
[00:28]All opinions are... What's that?
[00:29]Did you get a hamstring cramp when you were being too loud?
[00:31]Yeah.
[00:32]Are you a loud lover?
[00:34]If my kink was getting yelled at by my wife, all week I would have some creamy jeans.
[00:41]I'm just going to say, that's all I'm going to say.
[00:42]That's all I'm going to say.
[00:44]Okay, kids, fast forward 15 seconds if you're listening to daddy's episode.
[00:50]Shoot, I should have said that earlier. I'll put that earlier.
[00:54]We are up to album 235 and from 1991.
[00:59]We have the album that makes us act like saying, enter light was a normal phrase that everybody's like, it's not.
[01:05]It took me years to figure out he's saying enter light. It never made sense to me.
[01:10]Who's ever said enter light?
[01:12]This is an album that I sing along with so loud and I probably know 60% of the words, maybe.
[01:17]And I sing loud anyway.
[01:18]I'll tell you, half the lyrics are, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:26]Actually, Rob, you were saying this multiple times.
[01:29]I believe it's enter night.
[01:30]Yeah, exit light.
[01:33]Enter night.
[01:34]It's exit light.
[01:35]Exit light.
[01:35]No, exit light, enter night.
[01:37]So I kind of, not to be a, not to be a rule follower, but.
[01:41]Wow.
[01:41]If there's anything that I've stared at in so many classrooms in my life, it is the exit light.
[01:46]I cannot tell you how many exit signs I've stared at in various rooms.
[01:49]When I've been in the world's most boring meetings of all time, I'm just like, oh, this is the worst.
[01:54]I'm looking at the exit.
[01:55]Is it red?
[01:56]Is it green?
[01:57]There's so many exits out there.
[01:58]What's your favorite exit, guys?
[01:59]You know, there's only one exit that can be the favorite.
[02:01]What's that?
[02:03]Exit 69.
[02:04]North, Northfield, Minnesota.
[02:05]Exit 69.
[02:07]Where would that be, Matt?
[02:08]It's going down 35 in between.
[02:10]35, you know, it's where, it's south of where 35E and 35W meet.
[02:14]For the first time.
[02:16]But then you get down to, you get down to Dallas and there's 35E, 35W again.
[02:20]It goes around Dallas.
[02:21]So there is two 35E, 35Ws.
[02:23]Matt, how do I get there?
[02:27]I live at the big steer.
[02:28]How would I get there?
[02:29]I'm eating so many hash breakfast stuff.
[02:34]What was their big, what was the thing at the big steer?
[02:37]That was a truck stop by our college.
[02:39]What was their big meal?
[02:40]It was like the hash brown.
[02:42]I believe that was, the meal was the lounge lizard special, Rob.
[02:45]Was it really called that?
[02:47]No.
[02:47]No.
[02:47]You got me, Russell.
[02:50]You had me on that.
[02:51]I don't remember any.
[02:53]I had meals at the big steer, but I don't remember any of them.
[02:55]Russell just sent me a text saying the lounge lizard special was two day old tuna fish,
[02:59]sandwiches, Russell.
[03:00]That's, I'm not saying that.
[03:01]I'm not saying that.
[03:03]It's too much.
[03:05]Can you imagine if one of our friends would have gotten a handjob at the truck stop by
[03:11]saying, oh my God.
[03:12]If you had to guess which one did, which would you pick?
[03:15]Oh.
[03:16]You can't pick one of us.
[03:17]You got to pick someone off, but you can't use their first name.
[03:20]Refer to him like it's some sort of story that only we will know.
[03:23]Okay.
[03:23]Miss Makeupson.
[03:29]I mean, you know how many times we skipped the big steer to go to Perkins?
[03:35]Like we were like, there's a local establishment.
[03:37]We're like, no, we need to go get moons over Miami's or whatever.
[03:40]The tremendous 12th.
[03:42]Yeah.
[03:42]We didn't go to the big steer till almost like our junior year.
[03:44]And then you're like, oh, this is only a five minute drive and it's right here.
[03:47]Right.
[03:47]And it's like, oh, greasy stuff.
[03:49]Oh, I love it.
[03:51]I love a good gas station.
[03:53]I'll tell you the clear Lake combined gas station restaurant.
[03:56]Have you guys been there?
[03:57]They've got the giant donuts.
[03:58]They've got the.
[03:59]They've got giant sandwiches.
[04:00]Clear Lake.
[04:00]Clear Lake on 94, a little north of like, uh, Rogers.
[04:05]That would be called Nelson Brothers, Rob.
[04:07]Oh, listen, when I brought Suzanne in from New York, I touched her at my Clear Lake Island.
[04:11]I've never made that place.
[04:13]We stopped at Clear Lake, Minnesota and got some, uh, big sandwiches and they were.
[04:19]Did you stop at Clear Water or Clear Lake?
[04:21]Cause Clear Lake is the home of McDonald's meats, which has one of the greatest beef jerky of all time.
[04:26]Clear Water has the big, uh.
[04:29]Big exit.
[04:30]I know which one you stay.
[04:32]So Clear Water is 10 or up off 10 or off 94.
[04:34]I'm going off 94, man.
[04:35]You know, I'm getting off Clear Water.
[04:37]I'm going over to Clear Lake cause I do get on the.
[04:39]Play the maps.
[04:39]Somebody around here knows they're.
[04:40]I do get over to 10 that way though.
[04:42]When we have a guy's weekend in Minnesota, I need a beef jerky tour of his favorites.
[04:47]Well, there's a couple.
[04:48]Yeah.
[04:49]Listen, McDonald's.
[04:51]McDonald's is the OG for me.
[04:53]Cause my grandparents used to have a, like a trailer on a little lake up there and we'd
[04:58]go to, we'd go to McDonald's.
[04:59]We'd go to McDonald's.
[04:59]We'd go to McDonald's.
[04:59]McDonald's meets every time on the way to grandma, grandpa, Bill and grandma roots cabin
[05:03]up there.
[05:04]Can I just tell you, Aaron, I went on Craigslist and signed up for a beef jerky tour on there.
[05:09]And I can tell you, it was not what I expected.
[05:11]The beef jerky tour on Craigslist.
[05:13]It was honestly, it was most, mostly Russian bathhouses.
[05:17]Is there any worse place to get jerked off by a strange guy than a bathhouse?
[05:23]It's so hot in there.
[05:25]It's so humid.
[05:27]I can barely catch my breath.
[05:29]I got a new one last week though.
[05:32]I did go to, I went to a bachelor party.
[05:34]You guys didn't care last episode, Rob.
[05:36]He didn't care about any of my things.
[05:37]So, so I went to, so we went to a bachelor party and we stopped at the butchery of Maple
[05:42]Lake.
[05:42]So we were up in Annandale.
[05:43]We stopped in Maple Lake at the butchery, which had phenomenal, phenomenal wild rice
[05:49]brats for lunch.
[05:50]They were great.
[05:51]We got some beef jerky too.
[05:52]Now, Matt, do you know anybody who used to work at Maple Lake?
[05:55]It's a retroactive rolling going.
[05:56]No.
[05:58]Yes, you do.
[05:59]You do.
[05:59]Me.
[05:59]You worked in Maple Lake.
[06:02]Yes.
[06:02]I was a teacher there.
[06:03]Working at Maple Lake.
[06:05]Isn't that the one where you didn't show up for the first time and they fired you?
[06:08]That was Richfield.
[06:09]You guys, I cannot do the chronology of where, right?
[06:12]I swear Rob's been teaching for-
[06:14]Let's do it.
[06:14]Let's go through right now.
[06:15]20 years and he's taught in 25 places.
[06:17]You almost worked at Richfield as a student.
[06:18]You almost worked at Richfield.
[06:19]Job number one.
[06:20]No, Richfield was my student teaching where I did not contact the teacher.
[06:24]I showed up and stayed half the day for a teacher's in service.
[06:28]Asked the principal, excuse me, where is this teacher?
[06:30]And they said, he does not work here anymore.
[06:32]He does not work here.
[06:33]And also, who are you and how did you get in here?
[06:35]And why are you eating so many deviled eggs?
[06:38]You brought them.
[06:39]Why did you bring them in and eat them yourself?
[06:41]That's an awful lot of paprika.
[06:43]Then I get my first job, Aaron.
[06:45]My wife and I are living in Uptown.
[06:47]Where else would we like to live?
[06:48]And this joke, by the way, if you're not from Minnesota, this joke is not going to hit.
[06:53]Where does my Uptown big city wife want me to come get a job and live?
[06:58]Minnesota, the Canadian border.
[07:01]The furthest from Uptown possible.
[07:02]That is where, Aaron, now listen to this, guys.
[07:05]I went up with my dad and bought a house.
[07:08]Yeah.
[07:09]I bought a house without my wife.
[07:12]I picked a house without my wife.
[07:13]I did not know you bought a house up there.
[07:16]It was a little house on the prairie type shit where I was like, fuck this.
[07:19]I'm doing this myself.
[07:20]You guys can come out when I got sod on the ceiling.
[07:22]Yeah.
[07:25]And then my wife taught with me up there and I said, listen.
[07:28]I'm a professional teacher.
[07:30]I've taken classes at St. Olaf where I mostly paid attention.
[07:33]If you need help, please ask me.
[07:35]She instantly was a better teacher than me.
[07:38]She got lots of credit and it was an absolute nightmare.
[07:42]Then I went to the Iron Range.
[07:43]And that's where the graffiti was dedicated to her as well?
[07:46]That was where somebody wrote in the school bathroom,
[07:49]Ms. Blank has big tits and I want to hold them.
[07:52]Oh.
[07:53]Which again, was a classic.
[07:58]Also the bathroom, by the way, where it said, one sign said, look up.
[08:02]And then when you looked up and said, why are you looking up here?
[08:03]The joke is in your pants.
[08:04]Oh.
[08:05]A classic.
[08:06]If you could go back, there was no cell phones back then.
[08:10]Cause that's how old we were.
[08:10]Well, maybe there's cell phones then,
[08:12]but I don't know if there's camera phones like take pictures and you could
[08:15]take a picture of that graffiti on the,
[08:18]and then have a blown up photo of that in your bathroom right now.
[08:22]You do that in a heartbeat.
[08:23]Can I just say this?
[08:24]I would lose any of these three fingers right here to do that.
[08:28]If I could go back, I would lose any of these three fingers right here to do that.
[08:28]If I could go back, I would lose any of these three fingers right here to do that.
[08:28]If I could go back and take that picture and have it,
[08:29]it would be worth one of these.
[08:30]Then I was in, then I was there.
[08:34]I was in the iron range for a couple of years.
[08:36]And then I taught.
[08:36]Where, where, where, where did you teach?
[08:38]Evelyn Gilbert.
[08:39]Okay.
[08:40]Of course, Gilbert home of the gladiator,
[08:44]the strip club and the gladiator,
[08:45]which is a classic story I've told in the past.
[08:47]Then I moved to Vermont,
[08:51]lived up there for a little bit,
[08:53]had a,
[08:54]that was of course a classic story where I did not have a job and I took my kids
[08:58]to the beach and all the women started talking about their menstruations.
[09:00]Anytime I got too close, so they didn't want to hang out with me.
[09:02]That was a rough one where you took your kids to the orgy, right?
[09:05]Well, okay.
[09:07]It was pre orgy and an orgy broke out after we were there.
[09:12]After you got the kids out of there.
[09:13]Well, yeah, mostly.
[09:15]I mean, I kind of had my, I backed up really slowly.
[09:18]Can you imagine backing a car from a party and just see people and I hate to
[09:22]describe this to you guys, but it's just flesh on flesh.
[09:25]Hey, carnal delights.
[09:27]And you're backing up with the lights.
[09:28]It's going in.
[09:28]I'd be like, what the fuck?
[09:30]Where have I gone wrong?
[09:31]I hate having kids.
[09:33]Although if I was in the orgy, they'd probably be like, Hey,
[09:37]can you just hold the camera and don't point it down as your dong?
[09:40]Like it's a first person thing.
[09:42]It's not a POV.
[09:43]Matt, give me a high five for that one.
[09:46]Matt, what were you saying by the way?
[09:47]Oh, what?
[09:47]Then I went out, I live, I went back and taught in my hometown.
[09:51]And that is of course where I worked with the English teacher who all he had in
[09:55]his office was pictures of senior girls.
[09:58]Taped towards the room.
[09:59]That was cool.
[10:00]That was very cool.
[10:01]By senior girls, you mean like older women?
[10:03]Yeah, I do.
[10:04]And they have to be from Mexico because it was senior girls.
[10:06]I don't know.
[10:07]I didn't put the tilde.
[10:07]That's my bad.
[10:09]That's funny.
[10:12]And then, uh, and then now of course I work in, uh, New York and my life is a
[10:18]living hell that has never going to change.
[10:20]When was Maple Lake in there?
[10:22]Yeah.
[10:22]The whole point of the story.
[10:27]So the listeners could have seen Rob's laugh at that.
[10:30]Oh yeah.
[10:30]That was after the iron range for a year.
[10:32]I hated that job.
[10:33]That was the job where I had a, I got observed by a math teacher and I had to
[10:38]solve math problems on the board.
[10:39]And she was like, what the fuck are you up to?
[10:40]And I was like, I don't know.
[10:41]X equals X.
[10:44]I mean, get out of here.
[10:45]Now, listen, Russell, stop trying to extend this episode.
[10:49]Okay.
[10:49]It's not because we're just doing a single the night that I'm talking so
[10:51]long.
[10:51]Let's get, and just, yes, it is.
[10:53]Yes, it is.
[10:54]Okay.
[10:54]Yes, it is.
[10:56]Matt just wants to do it.
[10:57]He wants to ensure you got to get that buffer at the beginning and to
[11:00]make sure.
[11:01]Okay.
[11:02]Here we go.
[11:02]Ready?
[11:02]No, I'm listen.
[11:04]I prepared for the other one too.
[11:06]We can do death function.
[11:06]I prepared.
[11:07]We're set.
[11:08]I've got to listen to everything.
[11:09]You're breaking.
[11:11]Oh my God.
[11:13]That's just what my girlfriend said to me.
[11:15]You're breaking up.
[11:18]Yeah.
[11:19]She was a trucker, Russ, and we were over CB and she went out of range.
[11:22]We're going to, we're going to, we're going to break up at the big
[11:27]steer.
[11:27]We're going to break up at the big steer.
[11:27]We're going to break up at the big steer.
[11:27]We're going to break up at the big steer.
[11:27]We're going to break up at the big steer.
[11:27]We're going to break up at the big steer.
[11:28]There's a man driving fast down 35 W.
[11:31]He's got a sweater on.
[11:35]Listen.
[11:37]Okay.
[11:38]Don't think I haven't thought about my life as a trucker.
[11:40]Okay.
[11:41]Roaming from town to town.
[11:43]What would be your, would you do the, would you do the hawk when I drove
[11:46]by and asked for the big hawk or not?
[11:48]Absolutely not.
[11:48]Russell against the regulations.
[11:50]Cannot be doing the hawk.
[11:51]Okay.
[11:52]I'm eastbound and down.
[11:54]Okay.
[11:54]But I am following the rules.
[11:55]Let's turn on K Rob K.
[11:57]R O B and see what's on.
[11:59]Maybe it's a song that somebody worked on and got yelled at by his wife
[12:03]about.
[12:03]We get to the trip and the woman goes, okay, everybody tomorrow,
[12:07]we've got a big hike.
[12:08]So make sure your water bottles are all filled.
[12:10]And then you brought your electrolytes from the packing list.
[12:12]I'm not reading a packing list before I go on a trip.
[12:16]I am a teacher.
[12:17]I am in charge of the trip.
[12:19]Don't have any electrolytes.
[12:21]Guess what?
[12:21]I don't need electrolytes.
[12:22]I'm a world fucking champion.
[12:24]Almost within the first hundred yards.
[12:27]I realized.
[12:27]There's a problem.
[12:28]There is a problem.
[12:29]And the problem is my body.
[12:32]This is like trying to turn a Ferrari into a taco truck.
[12:35]You know what I mean?
[12:35]I can't do the work.
[12:37]I am for sure.
[12:38]I've drank all my water.
[12:43]I've drank the water of the teacher that I'm with.
[12:45]And my hamstrings are terrible.
[12:47]No electrolytes, Russell.
[12:49]This turned out to be quite a large mistake.
[12:53]Both hamstrings cramp up.
[12:54]I have to lie on the ground.
[12:56]No.
[12:57]Just go.
[12:57]And my co-teacher is stretching me.
[13:00]Look at me in my black linen pants.
[13:02]He's stretching me around by a 62-year-old Spanish teacher that did the same hike I just did.
[13:09]And it's doing just fine.
[13:11]We'll do a hike.
[13:16]It'll be fun.
[13:17]You'll be sweating in the hot, hot, hot sun.
[13:21]We'll begin.
[13:23]We'll ascend.
[13:24]Now we're hiking.
[13:26]Can you feel it?
[13:27]You'll have fun.
[13:28]Then your legs start cramping.
[13:33]Oh, yeah.
[13:34]And your hamstring is tight.
[13:37]You're back to light.
[13:40]You need electrolytes.
[13:44]You start to barely stand.
[13:48]Now your legs are cramping up again.
[13:51]When you want to hear about the greatest out of all time.
[13:55]John Friedin is.
[13:57]You can actually hear where Rob, like Metallica, went away from his previous thrash metal albums.
[14:06]And is now in his pop, more pop accepted phase.
[14:10]You can hear it.
[14:12]Heavy pop.
[14:13]MTV ready.
[14:13]MTV ready songs.
[14:15]It's true.
[14:15]I'm not hating.
[14:17]Me putting my voice over that karaoke track sound totally normal there.
[14:21]It didn't sound weird at all.
[14:22]It didn't make me wish I'd spent more time maybe mixing that a little bit.
[14:25]I've got Russell, Minneapolis.
[14:27]Russell Hart.
[14:27]How are you doing?
[14:27]Rob, judge not.
[14:30]Let ye be judged yourself.
[14:31]Wow.
[14:32]I've got Matt, Minneapolis.
[14:34]Matt, how are you doing?
[14:35]Good.
[14:37]I just want to say that the host of this episode, he tries to please them all.
[14:42]This bitter man he is.
[14:43]Wow.
[14:44]It's not.
[14:46]I'm not bitter.
[14:47]Okay.
[14:48]No, you're not.
[14:49]It's just things haven't gone how I wanted in my life and I'm furious.
[14:52]But I had like 10 seconds to look up a lyric and that's the first one I saw.
[14:56]There you go.
[14:56]Oh, Rob.
[14:57]I also had to say, you labeled me.
[14:59]I labeled you.
[15:01]So I dub thee the main host.
[15:03]He says I dub thee unforgiven.
[15:05]I always thought he had done the unforgiven.
[15:07]I think it's I dub thee.
[15:09]I dub thee.
[15:10]That makes so much sense.
[15:11]I dub thee unforgiven.
[15:12]I'm going to learn.
[15:13]I'm going to learn a lot tonight.
[15:14]I'm going to learn a lot.
[15:15]Russell.
[15:16]I dub thee unforgiven.
[15:17]Label me, label you.
[15:18]Russell, does Matt own a label maker?
[15:22]What do we think?
[15:23]I'm going to say no.
[15:25]Matt does not own a label maker.
[15:27]Maybe his wife might be kind of crafty.
[15:30]Maybe she's got something.
[15:32]I'm going to say there is one in the house.
[15:34]Okay.
[15:34]Aaron, what do you think?
[15:35]Does Matt own a label maker?
[15:36]I'm going to say yes.
[15:38]Matt owns his own label maker.
[15:39]There's more than one in the house.
[15:42]There's 100% chance Matt's house has a label maker.
[15:45]That baby's getting put up.
[15:46]I guess that label's all over the place.
[15:48]Matt, do you own a label maker?
[15:49]I personally do not own a label maker.
[15:53]Yes, my wife got some sort of Instagram.
[15:57]Instagram thing or something or Amazon
[16:00]that allows her to do something on her phone
[16:02]and then prints it out real nice and pretty.
[16:04]She really got it for like a kid's stuff
[16:06]for like school and everything.
[16:07]Yes, there is a label maker inside of my house.
[16:10]Can I tell you, I cannot go on Instagram at work anymore.
[16:13]The Instagram reels that pop up in between the posts
[16:17]are now simply too dirty.
[16:19]It is simply too much.
[16:21]It is just women kissing women in the kitchen.
[16:24]It's terrible.
[16:27]I thought you couldn't go on Instagram anymore
[16:28]because you're too busy on the sports betting site
[16:31]texting your sports betting friends
[16:32]and you just don't have enough time
[16:34]in between your sports betting and classing
[16:36]to look at Instagram.
[16:37]Although I have been doing that at my desk recently at work.
[16:39]Just opening up the app and blazing bets.
[16:42]Oh, I know.
[16:42]Just don't care anymore.
[16:45]Is there a lot of sports betting going on
[16:47]that I don't know about?
[16:47]No, there's none.
[16:48]And then it's fine.
[16:49]And we don't have a bunch of systems
[16:51]that were working and now aren't working.
[16:53]I'm curious how that happens.
[16:57]I'm telling my kids like,
[16:58]listen, some guys do five years of high school.
[17:00]That's fine.
[17:01]Okay.
[17:02]These tariffs are killing your dad.
[17:04]All right.
[17:06]The losing is the exception that proves the rule.
[17:09]I paid $1,000 for this General Tso's chicken.
[17:13]That doesn't even make sense to me.
[17:18]All right, listen.
[17:19]And I've got Aaron out in California now.
[17:21]Aaron was recently dating a girl
[17:24]whose kink was flash freezing.
[17:26]His penis.
[17:27]Yeah, they broke it off.
[17:29]Oh, hush, little baby.
[17:33]I wish I had to edit it out
[17:35]what I had to edit out last week.
[17:36]Aaron, I'm so sorry to interrupt you,
[17:38]but I wish I had to edit it out
[17:39]the part where we're making fun of your penis.
[17:41]Let's make fun of my penis.
[17:43]It's never happened.
[17:44]No one has ever made fun of my penis.
[17:45]I don't know, man.
[17:46]There's a lot of stuff I'd quote from this album.
[17:48]Can you believe we're talking about this album?
[17:50]Like, why even talk about it?
[17:51]Let's just play the whole fucking album.
[17:52]Play it in the background.
[17:53]It brought me back to the weight room in college.
[17:55]That's for sure.
[17:56]Now, sixth grade.
[17:58]I mean, MTV, the whole thing.
[17:59]Let's get right into the voicemail.
[18:03]We got one.
[18:04]What's up, everybody?
[18:04]People call?
[18:05]People call this show?
[18:06]I just remembered what our voicemail is.
[18:09]You guys got to give me one second.
[18:10]I will say.
[18:11]All the time, Rob has been saying
[18:13]the voicemail line is full.
[18:14]No, you don't talk over this.
[18:16]I didn't realize that.
[18:17]I was going to say,
[18:18]I know the upstairs roommate
[18:20]occasionally has left a voicemail or a Bex.
[18:22]We might not be getting those much anymore.
[18:23]She is now on delay,
[18:26]four or five days in our podcast
[18:28]because she literally listens
[18:29]to like 25 different NBA podcasts.
[18:31]Like every NBA podcast
[18:34]and every Timberwolves podcast.
[18:36]How is she feeling about this first round
[18:38]against the Lakers?
[18:39]What's her take?
[18:40]Rob or Aaron, I can't tell you
[18:42]because she was upstairs recording
[18:44]and watching the end of the Atlanta Hawks.
[18:46]Miami Heat.
[18:47]Jesus Christ.
[18:48]Hey, Russell, I hate to say this,
[18:51]but I think it's time to break it off.
[18:52]That's okay.
[18:53]It's not like you might be dating
[18:56]Russell is simply dating
[18:57]a younger version of himself.
[18:59]You know what I mean?
[19:00]Like he's dating young Russell.
[19:01]We used to watch a lot of basketball.
[19:03]Oh, Russell, I got to admit.
[19:06]Amazing.
[19:06]I hate to say it, but it's pretty hot.
[19:09]If I came home, my wife was watching
[19:10]the playoffs and be like,
[19:12]this is a play-in game.
[19:12]I'd be like, oh, these jeans.
[19:15]Recorded, records it.
[19:16]Yeah.
[19:17]Calls me to say she's going to pause it
[19:19]at six minutes to go in the game
[19:20]because it's a good game
[19:21]and we should watch the end together.
[19:22]Wow.
[19:22]Wow.
[19:23]Russell.
[19:24]This song, what the fuck is this song?
[19:26]She wants to share it with you, though?
[19:28]Yes.
[19:28]That's very nice.
[19:29]That's very nice.
[19:29]Yeah.
[19:30]What are we waiting for, Russell?
[19:34]What are we waiting for?
[19:35]Yeah, come on, Russell.
[19:36]Yeah, it feels like
[19:38]checks all the boxes.
[19:39]I'm going to need a better
[19:40]prenup negotiator, Matt.
[19:42]Oh, Russell, just sign the prenup
[19:44]she's giving you.
[19:45]Don't be offended by it, Russell.
[19:46]Just sign it.
[19:47]Come on.
[19:48]Okay, don't.
[19:49]Now, here's the deal.
[19:50]Wait, you're hitting me with a prenup?
[19:53]I'm hitting you with a prenup.
[19:54]We're going double prenup.
[19:55]We're prenuping.
[19:56]You can't prenup me.
[19:56]I'll prenup you.
[19:57]I was out with,
[19:58]this was probably a year ago.
[20:00]I was out with the roommate,
[20:01]some of her friends.
[20:02]We went to a few bars
[20:03]and some of the friends had,
[20:04]some friends in the group
[20:05]had been recently going through
[20:07]some divorces.
[20:08]Oh.
[20:08]Multiple.
[20:09]And these people were,
[20:10]they were talking about
[20:11]all the money they were going for
[20:13]and all this stuff.
[20:14]I was like, oof.
[20:14]Oof.
[20:15]Nope.
[20:15]Scary stuff.
[20:17]Not a good conversation.
[20:18]No, Russell's like, okay,
[20:20]how do I change this conversation
[20:22]away from this topic?
[20:23]Because this is-
[20:24]How do I get the money?
[20:25]Yeah.
[20:26]And Russell said-
[20:26]Turks and Caicos.
[20:27]Do you want to have a threesome?
[20:29]No.
[20:29]Ha.
[20:30]I've put all the revenue
[20:33]from this podcast
[20:34]into a living trust
[20:35]that we will be
[20:37]joint beneficiaries for.
[20:38]In the Cayman.
[20:39]Russell, there's one way to do this.
[20:40]I know one guy
[20:41]that did it this way
[20:42]and he is no longer married.
[20:44]Take this with a grain of salt,
[20:46]but everything was fine.
[20:48]Everything was fine.
[20:49]They were planning the wedding,
[20:50]you know,
[20:51]have everything going
[20:53]about four days for the wedding.
[20:54]Here's the prenup.
[20:56]Wow.
[20:56]Sign it or I'm not getting married.
[20:58]Whoa.
[20:58]Kind of a thing.
[20:59]So, you know,
[21:00]then it'll get signed pretty darn quick
[21:02]when she's pot committed.
[21:03]Yeah, Russell.
[21:03]So-
[21:04]Get her ass, Russell.
[21:05]Did he make her pay for the wedding too?
[21:06]Because then he'd really have her
[21:08]over a barrel.
[21:08]Right.
[21:09]Wow.
[21:09]Yep.
[21:10]This is such a fun way
[21:12]to think about marriage, Russell.
[21:13]Speaking of divorces,
[21:14]I was reading about this album
[21:16]that three of the four band members
[21:19]were going through divorces
[21:20]during the recording of it.
[21:22]And it made me start wondering like,
[21:24]what would one of our episodes be
[21:25]if all three of you guys
[21:26]were going through that at once?
[21:28]I mean, it would have more commercials
[21:29]just like this had all the commercial hits.
[21:31]I would be sharing it
[21:34]to my personal Instagram
[21:35]thinking that this is going
[21:35]to give me some dates.
[21:36]You know what I mean?
[21:37]Like, it's time.
[21:38]Just like, listen,
[21:39]just like Russell's with somebody now
[21:40]who watches the NBA,
[21:41]I got to be with somebody
[21:43]who listens to this podcast.
[21:44]That would be step one
[21:45]on my dates, Russell.
[21:46]I would give them a copy of my podcast,
[21:47]have them listen to it,
[21:48]see what they think.
[21:49]Remember, it went back
[21:50]in my dating days, Rob.
[21:52]I did share that the podcast existed
[21:55]and there was-
[21:55]There was one really bad experience
[21:57]where I told her,
[21:58]I actually played
[21:59]your Michael Jackson song
[22:00]for Thriller.
[22:02]And she asked about
[22:05]if we talked about
[22:05]all of the real stuff
[22:06]with Michael Jackson.
[22:07]I said, we didn't really do that.
[22:09]The podcast is more meant to be fun.
[22:11]And that was the last time we went out.
[22:12]We've got, guys,
[22:13]I have to tell you,
[22:14]for the first time ever,
[22:16]we have a Beckline email.
[22:20]This is an email
[22:21]to beckdidbetteratgmail.com.
[22:23]I had to sweep away the cobwebs.
[22:25]Okay, I had to get in there,
[22:27]kind of clean it out.
[22:27]Okay.
[22:28]Was it your junk?
[22:29]When was this sent?
[22:30]When was this sent?
[22:31]This was sent,
[22:32]believe it or not,
[22:33]April 9th.
[22:34]Oh, okay.
[22:36]Our Becksters are sliding
[22:37]into Rob's DMs.
[22:38]And here's a little clue.
[22:39]This was sent at 6.38, 1 a.m.
[22:42]Okay, so who would send
[22:44]a text to this?
[22:44]Guys-
[22:45]Oh, it looks very long.
[22:46]It's-
[22:47]Thank you, Russell.
[22:47]Now,
[22:48]let's play this voicemail.
[22:51]Let's see how much
[22:51]we want to get through.
[22:52]Hi there.
[22:53]Greetings from Spain.
[22:55]Oh.
[22:55]Long-time listener
[22:56]and first-time caller here.
[22:57]I'm one of the dumb shit listeners
[23:00]who's been following you
[23:00]since the very beginning
[23:01]without really understanding
[23:02]all the inside jokes,
[23:03]but enjoying the podcast
[23:04]and doing-
[23:05]What?
[23:06]The music quest with you
[23:07]while I work out at the gym.
[23:08]Wow.
[23:08]No.
[23:09]Okay, so first of all-
[23:09]What?
[23:10]This is a guy in Spain.
[23:12]I'm assuming this is a guy-
[23:13]This is a real person
[23:14]who started listening.
[23:14]This is a real person
[23:15]who is listening to the podcast
[23:17]and working out.
[23:18]Ay, wow.
[23:20]¿Cómo estás with your life?
[23:22]What is going on?
[23:23]You are in such a deep,
[23:25]deep place of pain
[23:25]that this is motivating you
[23:27]to work out.
[23:27]¿Cómo estás with your life?
[23:29]That's our t-shirt.
[23:30]We all have a t-shirt.
[23:32]That's going to be the t-shirt.
[23:33]Can you imagine
[23:33]you're in Spain.
[23:35]You listen to this podcast.
[23:37]You go, yep,
[23:37]this is the one for me.
[23:38]I'm going to listen to this.
[23:39]At the gym.
[23:41]I need some motivation
[23:42]at the gym.
[23:42]¿Cómo estás with your life?
[23:47]Oh my goodness.
[23:47]Okay, here we go.
[23:48]Sometimes I will just
[23:50]laugh out loud
[23:50]and people will look at me,
[23:51]but I don't care.
[23:52]Wife swapping will always remain
[23:54]one of my favorite things
[23:55]and one of my favorite bits
[23:55]of the show.
[23:55]And I miss Russell's
[23:56]dating advice corner,
[23:57]but I'm happy that he found
[23:58]love upstairs.
[23:59]Now, in a parenthesis,
[24:01]not said there was
[24:02]dating a pregnant woman.
[24:03]That was hilarious.
[24:04]So Russell,
[24:05]you're dating a pregnant woman,
[24:07]a.k.a. the human submarine,
[24:09]a.k.a. a motorcycle
[24:11]in a sidecar.
[24:11]That story has made it
[24:16]across the ocean
[24:18]to a different country.
[24:19]Somebody has listened to that
[24:21]and now knows you
[24:23]for dating the pregnant woman,
[24:24]Russell.
[24:25]We are like Pitbull.
[24:27]We are like Pitbull.
[24:28]We are worldwide.
[24:29]I stayed for the whole day.
[24:31]That came out
[24:32]within the first 15 minutes.
[24:33]I mean...
[24:34]He's a gentleman.
[24:35]We went to the Copperhead.
[24:36]Copperhead's probably
[24:38]the best brunch spot
[24:39]in Minneapolis.
[24:40]I had to stay.
[24:41]What am I going to do?
[24:42]I'm not going to pound
[24:44]that Moscow mule.
[24:46]I was suspicious
[24:46]when she sat down
[24:47]in the booth.
[24:48]She went...
[24:49]I don't remember Lamaze.
[24:52]I don't remember the breathing.
[24:54]I did the...
[24:54]I did the class
[24:55]for the first kid.
[24:56]And by the time
[24:56]the second kid came,
[24:57]we were like,
[24:57]man, we're good.
[24:58]And to be honest,
[25:00]it was...
[25:00]It was fine.
[25:01]Second kid slid right out there.
[25:02]It was crazy.
[25:03]It was like a bobsled.
[25:03]Now,
[25:04]let's keep going here.
[25:07]We missed our birthing class
[25:08]because my kid was...
[25:09]Wife swapping.
[25:10]You missed your birthing class.
[25:12]God.
[25:12]He was born the day
[25:13]before the birthing class.
[25:15]I was like...
[25:16]Who is the birthing class
[25:17]the day before?
[25:18]Like, shouldn't you do that
[25:19]in like a whole week's...
[25:20]He was four weeks early.
[25:21]So, he was supposed
[25:22]to do the birthing...
[25:23]You're playing that shit
[25:23]too late.
[25:24]If your kid is born
[25:26]before your birthing class,
[25:27]you fucked up already.
[25:28]Yeah, I know.
[25:30]That shit is too late.
[25:31]We tell them that all the time.
[25:32]What were you doing, man?
[25:33]You should have waited
[25:34]four weeks.
[25:34]Aaron's like,
[25:35]don't take any breaths.
[25:36]Oh, my God.
[25:37]I didn't take the class.
[25:38]I don't know what to say.
[25:39]Hold it in.
[25:41]Just hold it in the breath.
[25:42]Yeah.
[25:42]Okay, the baby's coming in.
[25:44]Oh, I didn't take the class.
[25:46]I don't know what's going on.
[25:47]Pull.
[25:47]No pushing.
[25:48]Pull.
[25:49]Why can't this kid
[25:51]change my diaper?
[25:51]I got to go.
[25:53]That's what I said
[25:54]at my...
[25:55]All right.
[25:55]Let's get back
[25:57]to the email.
[25:58]Wife swapping
[25:59]will always remain
[26:00]one of my favorite bits
[26:01]of the show,
[26:01]and I miss Russell's
[26:02]dating advice corner,
[26:03]but I'm happy
[26:04]that he found love upstairs.
[26:05]Yeah.
[26:06]I also need to say
[26:07]that you guys hate
[26:08]most of the music I love,
[26:09]which gets me so frustrated
[26:10]sometimes.
[26:10]Okay, so...
[26:11]I mean, respect for...
[26:13]Yeah.
[26:14]Not everything is working.
[26:15]He does think
[26:16]we're doing some drivel.
[26:17]I want to know
[26:18]who he likes, though.
[26:19]Does he say who he likes?
[26:20]Let's see what he says.
[26:22]I also need to say
[26:24]that you guys
[26:24]hate most of the music
[26:25]I love,
[26:25]which gets me
[26:26]so frustrated sometimes.
[26:27]But it's an interesting
[26:29]take on the different tastes
[26:30]between different world regions,
[26:31]so I guess this means
[26:32]that you need to add me
[26:33]to the list of potential
[26:34]co-host candidates.
[26:35]There we go.
[26:35]So I could counteract
[26:37]your musical arguments.
[26:38]Hee hee.
[26:38]Great job.
[26:40]Great podcast.
[26:41]I never thought you guys
[26:42]would make it so far,
[26:43]but now I'm sure
[26:43]you will get to the end
[26:44]of this quest,
[26:45]and I hope to be there, too.
[26:46]Okay, so...
[26:47]Oh, yeah.
[26:48]That kiss of death
[26:48]right there.
[26:49]Why did you bum us out
[26:50]with that part?
[26:51]I never thought
[26:52]you guys would make it,
[26:53]but you're going,
[26:53]and I'm going
[26:54]to.
[26:54]So this is just
[26:56]a regular person,
[26:57]like a regular human
[26:59]who found us
[27:00]on the internet.
[27:01]I gotta know
[27:02]what his music tastes are.
[27:03]We gotta play
[27:04]some of his music
[27:05]so we can figure out
[27:06]if we actually do like it
[27:07]or not.
[27:07]I mean, have we truly
[27:08]hated anything?
[27:09]I don't think we've...
[27:11]I don't know.
[27:11]I guess some things we...
[27:12]Listen, Richard,
[27:13]thank you so much
[27:13]for listening from Spain.
[27:14]I can't believe you do it.
[27:15]Again, I...
[27:17]Guys, what do we think
[27:19]about going international?
[27:20]That is our first
[27:21]international email,
[27:22]and I gotta say
[27:23]to all our...
[27:24]American fans,
[27:25]you're kind of out back.
[27:27]We're kind of leaving you
[27:28]in the garbage bin.
[27:29]We are now international.
[27:30]We're past our American fans.
[27:31]Sorry.
[27:32]Do you guys think
[27:33]he's been listening
[27:34]over like a year period,
[27:35]or do you think
[27:36]this has crammed
[27:36]into like four weeks
[27:37]and like he's gone
[27:39]from a 1 to 2.30
[27:40]in a month?
[27:40]He says following
[27:42]since the very beginning,
[27:43]so...
[27:44]Wow.
[27:45]Maybe he's been doing it
[27:46]for five years.
[27:47]Right?
[27:49]Five years?
[27:49]Yeah, five years
[27:50]almost this summer.
[27:51]I'm sorry.
[27:53]I will be quieter.
[27:54]Keep it down, Rob.
[27:55]What the hell?
[27:56]Damn.
[27:57]Guys, that reminds me.
[27:58]I forgot about this bit.
[28:00]Listen to me singing
[28:02]and she catches me
[28:03]singing too loud
[28:04]and comes out.
[28:04]Listen.
[28:05]You can see
[28:05]if you can hear her
[28:06]at the end here.
[28:06]Hey, hey.
[28:08]That's what it sounds like.
[28:14]Play it again.
[28:14]One more time.
[28:15]Okay.
[28:15]Hey, hey.
[28:18]Okay, so that was...
[28:20]The only...
[28:20]One more.
[28:21]If you do it one more time,
[28:22]it'll be three times.
[28:23]The only other...
[28:24]The only other time
[28:24]we've played three things
[28:25]is the Russ jacks off
[28:27]to cryptids.
[28:27]So do it one more time.
[28:29]Hey, hey.
[28:31]There we go.
[28:32]Rob, is there a way
[28:33]to slow that down
[28:34]like 50% speed?
[28:35]Can you...
[28:37]He's getting yelled at again.
[28:39]She's looking at me.
[28:41]Oh, you're...
[28:42]No.
[28:42]I think she could hear you.
[28:45]Well, don't look back
[28:46]and then you won't know
[28:47]that she's there.
[28:48]Just keep it going.
[28:49]Just stay chill.
[28:51]Can you play it
[28:51]at 50% speed?
[28:52]She got something going on.
[28:53]Going on tomorrow or what?
[28:54]I cannot play it
[28:55]at 50% speed.
[28:56]Aaron, don't ask
[28:56]what she's got going on tomorrow.
[28:58]That's not part of the problem.
[28:59]The problem is
[29:01]I'm a bad person.
[29:01]Oh, Aaron, you just...
[29:03]She's...
[29:04]Okay, so can I just say this?
[29:06]I just have to say this
[29:06]about my wife.
[29:07]On Friday,
[29:08]I came home from work.
[29:09]On Thursday,
[29:10]I came home from work.
[29:10]Working all day.
[29:11]Okay?
[29:12]I was going against...
[29:13]How many classes did you have?
[29:14]I was going against
[29:16]an automated drill.
[29:16]Okay?
[29:17]And I won.
[29:18]So it's actually
[29:18]not a big deal.
[29:19]But I was...
[29:21]I came home
[29:22]and my wife goes,
[29:23]I took two classes.
[29:23]I took two naps today.
[29:24]Two naps?
[29:27]How is that even possible?
[29:28]How do you fit in two naps?
[29:30]Two naps?
[29:30]And it was like five.
[29:31]I was like,
[29:33]how does a nap do?
[29:33]Listen, sweetie,
[29:34]I will be quiet.
[29:35]You got to go.
[29:35]You're stressing me out.
[29:36]Okay.
[29:38]I'm sorry, sweetie.
[29:39]Is the fan on?
[29:40]Oh!
[29:41]Okay, turn the sound machine on.
[29:43]This is what happens
[29:44]when you make us start
[29:45]at 945 Central.
[29:46]Look, I tried...
[29:47]I thought earlier was better.
[29:49]Listen.
[29:50]Earlier is always better.
[29:51]Richard from Spain,
[29:52]thanks a lot.
[29:53]You guys have done
[29:53]a ton of good stuff.
[29:53]I'm in a lot of trouble.
[29:54]Okay.
[29:55]This is totally...
[29:56]Thanks, Richard.
[29:57]Let's do our quiet rolling going.
[29:59]By the way,
[30:00]you're...
[30:00]Apparently, you're...
[30:01]It's time to see
[30:03]what everybody's up to.
[30:04]What's her name?
[30:04]Princess Diana.
[30:05]Got people laughing
[30:06]in the gym, too.
[30:07]Who are these people
[30:10]listening to this podcast
[30:11]in the gym?
[30:12]Yeah, I can't listen
[30:13]if I'm lifting anything.
[30:14]I'll drive on my head.
[30:15]Erin from Minneapolis
[30:17]said she was listening.
[30:18]She had to shut it off
[30:19]because she was laughing
[30:20]out loud in the gym.
[30:21]So, well...
[30:22]That's great.
[30:23]We're rolling going, Erin.
[30:24]How's it going with you?
[30:25]It's going good.
[30:26]Roughly repeat that.
[30:27]I couldn't quite hear you.
[30:28]Yeah, it's really bad.
[30:29]I don't really appreciate it.
[30:30]You have to talk into the mic
[30:31]a little more, Rob.
[30:31]You have to talk into the microphone
[30:32]or at least speak up.
[30:33]Enunciate, Rob.
[30:36]Red leather, yellow leather.
[30:39]Red leather, yellow leather.
[30:40]Oh, I'm going to be...
[30:42]Let's hear it, Rob.
[30:43]Really lettering out.
[30:44]It's going good.
[30:46]You guys make me do
[30:47]the big bop, right?
[30:48]My marriage might be
[30:49]in serious trouble.
[30:50]You know what else
[30:50]we got to do?
[30:51]Like, what do we used to do
[30:52]when we said we do like
[30:53]the hard work?
[30:53]The harmony things like...
[30:54]Oh, hello.
[30:55]Hello.
[30:56]Hello.
[30:58]I can't help myself
[31:01]from saying that.
[31:02]Rolling going,
[31:04]how's it going with you?
[31:05]Please, I'm begging you guys.
[31:06]It's so great.
[31:07]Hello.
[31:08]Hello.
[31:09]Hello.
[31:12]Oh, we're going...
[31:15]Okay.
[31:15]My rolling going is that
[31:17]I listen to Bad Bunny now.
[31:19]Oh, yes.
[31:21]Yep.
[31:22]I have a good band
[31:23]buddy song.
[31:24]I like one.
[31:24]Yeah, I watched his Tiny Desk
[31:26]and it's like,
[31:26]it turns out this guy's
[31:28]the biggest star in the world
[31:29]for real, for a reason.
[31:30]Yeah.
[31:30]Like, his music is good.
[31:32]Oh, really?
[31:33]I listen to a lot of
[31:33]Bad Bunny this week.
[31:34]Oh, the Tiny Desk rules.
[31:36]My favorite is
[31:38]Chambéa.
[31:39]C-H-A-M-B-E-A.
[31:41]Check this one out.
[31:42]I feel like you'd do that
[31:43]on purpose.
[31:43]And this is the perfect
[31:44]time of the year
[31:44]because it's
[31:45]WrestleMania style.
[31:46]It features the Nature Boy,
[31:47]Ric Flair, Rob.
[31:49]Give it to me.
[31:49]Woo!
[31:50]Check this song out.
[31:52]This is a badass song.
[31:53]Here you go.
[31:53]I can't hear it.
[31:53]Woo.
[31:54]Woo.
[31:55]Oh, my God.
[31:56]Here we go.
[31:59]Bump it up, Russ.
[32:00]Oh.
[32:02]Tendo.
[32:04]There's Tendo in the video.
[32:05]With buns.
[32:06]Oh, that's Russell.
[32:10]Yes.
[32:11]This is great.
[32:13]Wow.
[32:15]That's him?
[32:16]That's like super young
[32:17]Bad Bunny, huh?
[32:18]I wonder if Richard
[32:20]likes this one.
[32:21]Who should I ask?
[32:23]I wonder if that was
[32:25]an email from
[32:26]Richard Fleer.
[32:27]Also known as
[32:29]the Nature Boy.
[32:29]Call me Richard.
[32:32]My dad's Ric Flair.
[32:33]I'm definitely a Johnny
[32:34]come lately to the
[32:36]Bad Bunny.
[32:36]So I've only listened
[32:38]to his newest album.
[32:39]Debe, Titorar,
[32:40]Mas Fotos.
[32:41]And I like the one
[32:42]called Clove Friend.
[32:42]We don't have to play it
[32:44]because this video is nice.
[32:45]This is like super young
[32:46]Bad Bunny.
[32:46]Seven years ago.
[32:48]Wow.
[32:48]You know, when thongs
[32:52]were thongs,
[32:52]that's what this video is.
[32:53]And men were men.
[32:55]Yeah.
[32:55]And you could.
[32:55]Yeah.
[32:56]And the other thing
[32:58]that happened to me this week
[32:59]is that I went out
[33:01]on Tuesday night to go.
[33:02]I texted you guys about this.
[33:03]I went out on Tuesday
[33:04]to go watch the Warriors
[33:05]and I was at the bar
[33:06]and I was at McNally's
[33:08]down on College Avenue
[33:09]and it was pretty
[33:10]not too packed in there.
[33:11]Just people out
[33:12]watching the Warriors.
[33:12]So I was like,
[33:13]I mentioned to Anna like,
[33:15]oh, hey, the trivia guys
[33:15]don't want to go out tonight,
[33:16]but I might go out by myself
[33:17]and watch the Dubs.
[33:18]She's like, you should do it.
[33:19]So of course,
[33:20]that's the dream.
[33:21]Oh, boy.
[33:21]He says you should go out
[33:22]and watch the Dubs.
[33:23]You go, right?
[33:23]Yeah.
[33:24]So I hop in the Uber.
[33:25]I head down.
[33:26]I even texted one friend.
[33:27]He's like, I can't make it.
[33:28]I'm like, even better.
[33:29]I'll go by myself.
[33:29]So I, you know,
[33:31]watch the Dubs
[33:31]at the bar by myself,
[33:32]which is fine.
[33:33]And then like people
[33:33]kind of start filing in
[33:35]into this back room
[33:37]and like a couple people
[33:38]come to the bartender
[33:39]and say,
[33:39]is it comedy night tonight?
[33:42]And the bartender is like,
[33:43]I don't know.
[33:43]The guys usually hear
[33:44]like eight o'clock.
[33:45]I'm not sure.
[33:45]So it seems like
[33:47]there's going to be
[33:47]a comedy open mic.
[33:48]So I'm excited about this
[33:49]because I'm like,
[33:50]OK, this is like,
[33:51]this is like I got to
[33:52]go and check this out
[33:53]just for us.
[33:54]Aaron's got a good
[33:55]Aaron's got a good
[33:56]five minutes of jokes.
[33:57]He thinks he heard
[33:58]me say before.
[33:58]Yes, right.
[34:00]So the Dubs
[34:01]end up going to
[34:02]almost 10 o'clock.
[34:03]So I'm seeing people file.
[34:04]Aaron's like his opening line
[34:06]is I just want to gain
[34:06]enough weight to fit in
[34:07]with the other co-hosts
[34:08]in my podcast.
[34:09]All right.
[34:12]I
[34:13]it's super distracting
[34:15]to talk over bad money.
[34:16]I feel like Ghostface
[34:18]rapping over
[34:19]Lala Means I Love You.
[34:20]So I,
[34:21]I see people filing
[34:22]in and out of
[34:23]of the back room.
[34:24]And,
[34:24]and so I think like,
[34:26]OK, when the Dubs
[34:26]are over,
[34:27]I got to go check it out.
[34:27]So I,
[34:28]I go back there
[34:29]after the game is over
[34:31]and a guy who had been
[34:32]the most insane,
[34:34]there were like some
[34:35]borderline bad calls
[34:36]that whatever,
[34:36]there's bad calls
[34:37]in every game.
[34:37]The guy who was going
[34:38]the most nuts
[34:40]about the bad calls,
[34:41]like demonstrably
[34:42]crazy about bad calls
[34:44]is on stage.
[34:45]Stage in quotes.
[34:46]And he's doing
[34:48]like COVID humor,
[34:50]like,
[34:51]oh, I had my kids
[34:52]home with me
[34:52]for remote learning.
[34:53]It was terrible.
[34:54]And it's like,
[34:54]no one,
[34:55]this is not funny.
[34:56]In California,
[34:56]that doesn't really fly, right?
[34:57]It just isn't funny.
[34:59]Like nobody wants to hear
[35:00]jokes about COVID anymore.
[35:01]Like, no.
[35:01]So that one was over.
[35:03]So I sat and I watched
[35:04]like three or four people
[35:05]at no point.
[35:06]You should see me
[35:07]when I go to work.
[35:08]I wear my pajama pants
[35:09]when I'm sitting
[35:11]on the Zoom call.
[35:12]Yes.
[35:12]I stayed,
[35:13]I heard like four
[35:14]or five people.
[35:15]At no point
[35:17]were there any more
[35:18]than four people
[35:19]in the audience
[35:20]in this room.
[35:21]There's people
[35:21]on a tiny stage
[35:22]with a mic
[35:23]and the audience is,
[35:24]and so finally
[35:25]at like 11 p.m.,
[35:26]the guy who's hosting
[35:27]the thing
[35:28]hands me his,
[35:29]like he packs
[35:30]a nice bowl of weed
[35:31]and hands me some
[35:32]and that's great.
[35:33]And so then I'm in,
[35:34]I'm in this like
[35:35]serious backroom
[35:36]comedy shit.
[35:37]And the guy,
[35:38]another guy gets on stage
[35:39]and starts doing crowd work
[35:41]and like is,
[35:41]of course,
[35:42]picking on me.
[35:42]And he's like,
[35:43]sir, are you,
[35:44]so what,
[35:45]are you a comic?
[35:46]I was like,
[35:46]no, I'm just a fan.
[35:47]He's like,
[35:47]oh,
[35:47]you're a regular person.
[35:49]It wasn't,
[35:50]it wasn't an open mic night.
[35:51]It was like a workshop.
[35:51]I was the only non-comic
[35:53]in the room at all.
[35:54]And so I'm like,
[35:55]you're a civilian.
[35:56]Yeah, I was like,
[35:57]oh shit.
[35:57]I was like,
[35:58]is it okay that I'm in here?
[35:59]And they were totally cool.
[35:59]They were like,
[36:00]yeah, yeah,
[36:00]like that's how we know
[36:01]if our stuff's funny or not.
[36:02]But all these people
[36:03]knew each other
[36:04]and they were just there
[36:05]to like work on their stuff.
[36:06]They're so fucked
[36:07]if you're the one
[36:08]in the crowd, Aaron.
[36:09]And I've learned this lesson
[36:12]that just because Aaron laughs
[36:14]doesn't mean it's that funny.
[36:15]It helps when Aaron laughs.
[36:18]It definitely helps.
[36:19]But he's,
[36:19]he is not the most
[36:20]discerning person.
[36:21]He's very considerate.
[36:23]Now, Aaron,
[36:24]what was the best joke
[36:25]you heard?
[36:25]The best joke,
[36:28]there were two
[36:29]that stick out
[36:30]that I remember.
[36:30]The last guy
[36:31]got up on stage
[36:32]and he said,
[36:33]he said,
[36:34]man, I'm up here.
[36:35]I'm only 5'8".
[36:36]And he goes,
[36:37]I'm actually 5'5".
[36:38]I don't know why I lied
[36:39]to you guys
[36:39]about those three inches.
[36:40]And then he was like,
[36:42]you know,
[36:43]I see stuff that's really sad.
[36:44]Like I saw,
[36:45]I saw a child's coffin.
[36:46]It's so sad
[36:48]because I thought,
[36:48]I'm going to have to be buried
[36:50]in one of those.
[36:50]Because he was like
[36:51]a really short guy.
[36:52]Oh.
[36:53]So that was,
[36:54]that was that one.
[36:55]Oh, okay.
[36:57]Child coffin bits.
[36:58]I texted Rob.
[37:00]Hey, we'll see you guys later.
[37:01]We should send this guy
[37:01]a contract for Netflix.
[37:02]Do we know anyone over there?
[37:04]Wow.
[37:04]Hey, I'm trying to give
[37:07]a good tag on my
[37:08]coffin bit.
[37:10]The guy who did a
[37:11]peeing in the shower bit
[37:12]about how like,
[37:13]now I can't eat asparagus anymore
[37:14]because I'm always having
[37:15]to pee on people.
[37:16]And he was like,
[37:17]if I,
[37:17]anytime I take a person home,
[37:19]like if I take a lady home,
[37:20]the first thing,
[37:20]I do is get in the shower
[37:22]and try to pee on her
[37:22]because if she's like,
[37:24]sticks her foot out
[37:25]and is like,
[37:25]cool with this,
[37:26]then I know what I'm in for.
[37:27]This is like some raunchy,
[37:29]raunchy shit.
[37:29]Jeez.
[37:30]Okay.
[37:31]You asked.
[37:32]I wasn't going to do the bits.
[37:33]The worst bit,
[37:34]yeah,
[37:35]there was a terrible bit.
[37:36]How do you remember
[37:36]all the jokes?
[37:37]I wrote some of them down
[37:38]so I could text them to Rob.
[37:39]Hey,
[37:40]perfect copyright move here.
[37:42]Different coasts.
[37:45]Yeah.
[37:46]It's all right.
[37:46]Yeah, I'll get them on TV.
[37:47]They were,
[37:48]they were very nice to me.
[37:49]The guy gave me
[37:50]some weed.
[37:50]I said like,
[37:51]hey,
[37:51]is it cool if I'm here?
[37:52]He's like,
[37:52]we're here every Tuesday night.
[37:53]Like,
[37:53]come on back anytime.
[37:54]So no,
[37:55]I'm going to go check out
[37:56]the backroom comedy again
[37:57]sometime for sure.
[37:57]Aaron,
[37:58]you're not going back
[37:59]to backroom comedy,
[37:59]bro.
[38:00]It's just you.
[38:01]It's the one person.
[38:02]It was just me.
[38:02]Yeah.
[38:03]What happened when the joke
[38:06]was no good?
[38:06]Got no laughs.
[38:07]I mean,
[38:09]well,
[38:09]they would just be like,
[38:10]oh,
[38:11]you guys don't like that joke.
[38:12]Okay,
[38:12]I'll try something else.
[38:13]They all had their notebooks
[38:14]up there with him.
[38:14]That didn't work.
[38:15]Okay,
[38:16]I'll try something else.
[38:16]I can't imagine what that's like.
[38:18]Because they weren't like
[38:19]really on stage,
[38:20]you know,
[38:20]they were like practicing
[38:21]or whatever.
[38:21]Yeah.
[38:22]I mean,
[38:22]at one point,
[38:22]like I haven't smoked weed
[38:24]out of a pipe in like five years.
[38:25]So I was like trying to figure
[38:26]out how to light the pipe
[38:27]and burning my finger.
[38:28]And the like,
[38:29]the comic was like,
[38:30]okay,
[38:31]I'll wait.
[38:31]I'll wait for you
[38:32]until you're done.
[38:33]What is this place?
[38:36]What is going on?
[38:37]Aaron,
[38:38]were you like,
[38:38]don't you guys have a pop can
[38:40]around here?
[38:40]right?
[38:41]You can't even get a joint.
[38:42]Just something simple.
[38:43]I don't know how this thing works.
[38:45]Were you in somebody's
[38:46]apartment by accident?
[38:46]Did you accidentally go
[38:47]into their apartment?
[38:48]There are apartments
[38:49]above this bar,
[38:50]but I was not in
[38:51]someone's apartment.
[38:51]It was a great time.
[38:53]I mean,
[38:53]I love supporting live comedy.
[38:54]So that was,
[38:55]that was a highlight for me.
[38:56]So Bad Bunny
[38:56]and live comedy.
[38:58]How's it rolling going
[38:59]with Matt?
[38:59]Good.
[39:01]Rob,
[39:01]I got a song for you.
[39:02]If you don't mind playing.
[39:03]Sharon Van Etten
[39:05]has a new song
[39:06]called Idiot Box.
[39:07]It's all over
[39:09]89.3 The Current.
[39:10]We play it all the time.
[39:11]It's just a great song.
[39:13]Oh yeah.
[39:14]Russell,
[39:16]I've been saving this
[39:17]just for you.
[39:18]Oh,
[39:18]finally.
[39:19]I had a,
[39:20]we don't need to do this,
[39:22]but I've,
[39:23]I've got my new favorite
[39:24]travel hack of all times.
[39:26]Work travel.
[39:26]All this stuff.
[39:28]So I took a flight,
[39:29]but don't play it over
[39:30]Sharon Van Etten.
[39:31]I don't want to hear this,
[39:32]but don't do it.
[39:32]So I,
[39:33]I went on a one day trip,
[39:35]which usually means
[39:36]I am packing light,
[39:37]packing light.
[39:38]I'm going to go as,
[39:40]as a Spartan as I can.
[39:42]I decided that,
[39:43]you know what?
[39:44]I'm going to pack this
[39:45]roller bag today.
[39:46]And I'm going to bring
[39:47]something along
[39:48]that hopefully changes
[39:50]my life on the road.
[39:51]Wow.
[39:51]Yes.
[39:52]So I brought
[39:54]my very own pillow
[39:57]for the hotel room.
[39:59]Oh.
[40:00]And it's the greatest thing
[40:02]that's ever happened to me,
[40:03]Russell,
[40:03]ever,
[40:03]ever,
[40:04]ever,
[40:04]ever.
[40:04]I cannot stand the pillows
[40:06]that are in all of the
[40:07]residents in and all the
[40:08]Marriott places that I stay.
[40:10]So I decided to just
[40:11]bring my own pillow
[40:12]and I got a wonderful
[40:13]night of sleep.
[40:14]Oh,
[40:14]that's so smart.
[40:15]This is,
[40:15]this is some old man
[40:16]shit,
[40:16]man.
[40:17]I'm not going to lie.
[40:18]You packed your
[40:18]regular suitcase
[40:19]and then because you're
[40:21]packing light,
[40:21]your pillow also fit
[40:22]or did your pillow
[40:23]have its own bag?
[40:23]So I had my little like,
[40:24]you know,
[40:25]a double-sided folding
[40:27]card suitcase,
[40:27]right?
[40:28]I put the pillow
[40:29]on one side
[40:30]and all my other stuff
[40:31]in the other.
[40:31]Aaron,
[40:31]he had his bag packed
[40:33]and then he put his
[40:35]pillow on a stick
[40:36]over his back
[40:37]and he put a lot of
[40:39]cans of beans
[40:40]in there as well.
[40:41]He had a five-day
[40:43]shadow.
[40:44]Excuse me,
[40:44]sir.
[40:45]We have a one-bindle bag.
[40:45]We have a one-bindle limit
[40:46]on this plane,
[40:46]okay?
[40:47]Was there any part of you
[40:49]that didn't want to put
[40:50]the pillow down on the bed?
[40:51]We've talked about
[40:52]how people don't want
[40:53]to put their step
[40:54]on the floors in a hotel.
[40:55]No, but you know what?
[40:56]God knows what Rob's
[40:57]been doing in those hotels.
[40:58]I pull back the sheets
[41:00]every time
[41:00]and I give that
[41:01]a thorough look
[41:02]to make sure that it's
[41:03]like clean sheets.
[41:04]Oh, God.
[41:04]I have never pulled
[41:05]back the sheets
[41:06]and you're so right.
[41:07]What are you going to do?
[41:09]Are you going to leave
[41:10]if they look bad?
[41:11]No, if you stick
[41:12]your feet down there
[41:12]and there's something
[41:13]gushy down there,
[41:14]I mean,
[41:14]forget about it.
[41:15]It hasn't happened yet,
[41:17]Russell,
[41:17]so I don't know,
[41:18]but I think I might
[41:19]just say,
[41:20]do you have another
[41:20]set of sheets?
[41:21]Like, I'll make
[41:21]my own damn bed
[41:22]if you've got a clean
[41:23]set of sheets for me
[41:24]kind of a thing.
[41:25]So bringing your own
[41:26]pillow is your new
[41:27]travel hack.
[41:28]That's funny
[41:28]and it won't work
[41:29]all the time
[41:30]because I really do
[41:32]dislike having
[41:35]like a rolling carry-on
[41:36]these days.
[41:37]What prompted you
[41:39]to do it this time?
[41:39]Your backpack
[41:40]all the way.
[41:40]Because I've been
[41:42]saying for a year
[41:43]that I just wish
[41:44]I had my own pillow.
[41:44]I just wish I had
[41:45]my own pillow
[41:46]kind of a deal
[41:46]and I've got,
[41:47]we always talk about
[41:48]pillows, Rob,
[41:48]I got my $120 pillow
[41:50]which sounds nuts
[41:51]but it is unbelievable
[41:53]and it's cool
[41:54]on one side
[41:55]and it's pretty nice.
[41:55]Can I ask you, Matt,
[41:56]did security wonder
[41:57]at all when you were
[41:58]bringing through
[41:58]a life-size pillow
[41:59]of Carrie-Anne Moss's
[42:00]character from The Matrix?
[42:01]Did they ask you
[42:03]about that
[42:04]where it was
[42:04]a full-size?
[42:06]Nope.
[42:07]One guy gave me
[42:08]a little bit of a look back
[42:09]but that's about it.
[42:10]But you're not
[42:12]checking this bag.
[42:13]This is a carry-on
[42:14]so you're not worried
[42:15]if it's not
[42:15]going through security
[42:16]where it might get opened
[42:17]and taken.
[42:18]Right, yep.
[42:18]It's going to be with me
[42:20]the entire,
[42:20]I thought about that.
[42:21]Should I just check it?
[42:22]Do I just check it and go?
[42:23]And you made it very clear
[42:24]it's in the bag.
[42:24]You're not holding it
[42:25]underneath the crook
[42:26]of your arm.
[42:27]It's not sitting on
[42:28]like a chair in the airport.
[42:29]It's in your backpack.
[42:30]It's in a rolling
[42:30]hard-sided suitcase
[42:32]so it's on one side
[42:34]of the hard-sided suitcase.
[42:35]I shoved it in there
[42:36]and got all my other stuff
[42:37]on the other side,
[42:38]zipped my other stuff up.
[42:39]Matt, did your wife
[42:40]see this happen?
[42:41]What did she say?
[42:42]What did she say to this?
[42:43]You're bringing
[42:44]your own pillow, huh?
[42:45]And I said, yes.
[42:47]Okay.
[42:49]Okay.
[42:50]Okay.
[42:50]Normal stuff.
[42:52]That's basically it.
[42:53]Immediately picks up her phone,
[42:54]starts texting people.
[42:55]Now, Aaron,
[42:56]I have a little tip for you.
[42:57]And Matt, actually.
[42:59]Matt, I got a tip for you.
[43:00]And listen,
[43:01]don't get on me
[43:02]about the ethics thing again,
[43:03]but I'm just going to say this.
[43:04]What I do when I go to a hotel
[43:06]is I take the pillows
[43:07]from the airplane.
[43:07]They're fine.
[43:09]I sleep with those tiny pillows
[43:12]on my bed
[43:12]and I feel like a giant.
[43:13]When I'm on a bed,
[43:14]when I'm on a bed
[43:15]with those tiny pillows,
[43:16]I feel like I'm...
[43:16]You're playing on a pillow?
[43:17]When I wake up...
[43:18]Where do you get pillows
[43:18]on an airplane?
[43:19]Yeah.
[43:20]The overseas ones.
[43:21]Yeah, the pillows.
[43:22]There's probably one
[43:23]on your ones to Hawaii
[43:24]you probably had.
[43:25]Forgot that not everybody's
[43:26]taking those flights
[43:27]that I've taken.
[43:27]Listen, you get a little pillow
[43:28]and when you wake up
[43:31]in a hotel room
[43:31]with a tiny pillow,
[43:32]you feel like you're
[43:33]in Gulliver's Travels.
[43:34]You know, you just feel huge.
[43:36]I mean, it's just for that moment
[43:37]when you wake up
[43:38]and then it's not a good pillow.
[43:40]I did think about taking...
[43:42]When we were over in Ireland
[43:43]on the way out
[43:44]of the...
[43:44]I did think about taking
[43:45]my pillow.
[43:47]Yeah.
[43:47]You know,
[43:48]but then I thought
[43:49]this isn't mine.
[43:50]This belongs to the airlines.
[43:51]I see where this is going.
[43:53]Rolling, going.
[43:54]Man.
[43:56]Rolling, going.
[43:57]Russell, how's it going to you?
[43:58]I got a couple things.
[43:59]One, I took my nephew
[44:01]to his first Timberwolves game
[44:03]last week,
[44:03]which we had a great time,
[44:05]but we went out downtown.
[44:07]Beforehand, we went
[44:08]and got some food.
[44:08]My brother,
[44:09]upstairs roommate,
[44:10]and my nephew,
[44:11]the four of us went out.
[44:12]We stopped at
[44:13]a restaurant
[44:14]right across
[44:14]and we were getting
[44:16]something to eat
[44:16]before the game
[44:17]and we had a celebrity sighting.
[44:19]Did you get the chicken shots?
[44:20]Did you get the chicken shots
[44:21]at Kieran's?
[44:22]Did not get the chicken shots.
[44:23]What are chicken shots?
[44:24]Basically, like,
[44:26]chicken breasts cut up
[44:28]into little squares
[44:29]or cubes or whatever
[44:30]and kind of put in some
[44:31]sort of like honey
[44:34]sort of sauce,
[44:36]you know,
[44:36]kind of like a glaze
[44:37]or something like that.
[44:38]They're fabulous.
[44:39]They're very, very good
[44:39]at Kieran's.
[44:40]Just wondering.
[44:41]Sorry, Russell.
[44:42]But so,
[44:44]we came across
[44:44]a celebrity sighting
[44:45]for our Minnesota fans.
[44:46]It was
[44:48]Channel 4's own
[44:50]political commentator,
[44:51]Pat Kessler.
[44:52]Oh!
[44:53]Wow!
[44:54]I do not know
[44:57]who that is.
[44:57]That's good.
[44:57]My brother looks at me
[44:59]and he goes,
[44:59]is that the guy
[45:00]that does the politics
[45:01]on CBS?
[45:02]And I look over
[45:03]and I'm like,
[45:03]it looks like
[45:04]we pulled him up.
[45:05]It was him,
[45:06]CBS's own Pat Kessler.
[45:08]Now, he is famously a,
[45:11]well, he's on K-Fan a lot
[45:13]on the Barrero show.
[45:14]And he's very, very good.
[45:15]He's very good.
[45:16]I like listening
[45:16]when he's on.
[45:17]But he's also,
[45:18]he's famously a huge
[45:20]Gophers fan.
[45:21]Like, travels to all
[45:23]the bowl games
[45:23]and everything.
[45:24]And I think he's
[45:26]a huge sports fan.
[45:28]So, was he going
[45:29]to the Timberwolves game?
[45:30]It looked like he was
[45:31]probably going to
[45:32]the Wolves game, yes.
[45:33]So, anyways,
[45:34]we went to the Wolves game.
[45:35]We had a good time.
[45:35]But one of the reasons
[45:36]my brother was in town
[45:37]is we were doing some
[45:39]cleaning.
[45:39]My mom moved a while back.
[45:41]We're going through
[45:41]and going through
[45:42]a lot of some old stuff
[45:43]in the,
[45:43]in the,
[45:44]basement and everything.
[45:44]We went through it.
[45:45]We pulled out, like,
[45:46]these folders,
[45:47]all this stuff
[45:48]from when you're a kid.
[45:49]Like, report cards
[45:50]from, from all
[45:51]the way back then.
[45:52]Every, everything
[45:53]you've ever written,
[45:54]art projects,
[45:55]all that stuff.
[45:56]I narrowed it down.
[45:57]I kept a couple letters
[45:58]that I wrote about
[45:59]family members.
[45:59]But everything else
[46:00]got tossed.
[46:01]All the grades
[46:01]and everything got tossed.
[46:02]But there were two things
[46:04]that I really enjoyed
[46:05]that I came across
[46:05]and I kept.
[46:06]And they were
[46:07]treasured recipes
[46:08]from each of my side
[46:09]of the family.
[46:10]So, family recipe books
[46:12]that I thought
[46:13]was very cool.
[46:14]So, I thought
[46:14]I would ask you guys,
[46:15]do you guys have, like,
[46:16]a family recipe?
[46:17]Like, do you have stuff
[46:18]that gets passed down
[46:19]or do you have
[46:20]anything like that?
[46:21]I've got a,
[46:22]I've got a book
[46:23]that I got from my grandma.
[46:25]It was,
[46:25]it was her sister's.
[46:26]So, she was one
[46:28]of five sisters.
[46:28]And so, kind of the
[46:30]whole lineage
[46:30]from those sisters down.
[46:32]It's about a 60-page
[46:34]typed recipe book.
[46:36]And it's,
[46:36]I got it for Christmas
[46:38]one year,
[46:38]you know,
[46:39]long,
[46:39]maybe in 2000,
[46:41]something like that
[46:41]from my grandma.
[46:42]And I cook stuff
[46:43]out of there
[46:43]all the time.
[46:44]I made some
[46:45]molasses cookies
[46:46]out of it
[46:46]the other week
[46:48]and stuff like that.
[46:49]So, yes.
[46:50]And we've got,
[46:50]famously,
[46:52]there's a couple
[46:53]soups and stuff
[46:55]that,
[46:55]some desserts
[46:56]that we make
[46:57]every year.
[46:58]So, I'm guessing
[46:59]are these ones
[47:00]that you still make,
[47:01]Russell?
[47:01]Or are they coming
[47:02]back to life
[47:03]for the first time?
[47:03]I didn't even know
[47:04]the books existed, Matt.
[47:05]So, but it literally,
[47:06]it's from my mom,
[47:07]one from my dad's
[47:09]side of the family,
[47:09]one from my mom's
[47:10]side of the family.
[47:10]When you look through them,
[47:11]some of them look like
[47:12]they go way back.
[47:13]And others look like
[47:14]it was different people
[47:15]in the family
[47:16]from however many
[47:17]the last, you know,
[47:18]56 years
[47:19]putting stuff in there.
[47:21]Where they say like
[47:21]lard instead of butter
[47:23]and stuff like that.
[47:23]There's a recipe
[47:24]for like horse steak
[47:25]and you're like,
[47:25]oh, this is kind of.
[47:26]But a lot of the ones
[47:27]for the one side of the family
[47:28]were baking items, Matt.
[47:29]And they had
[47:30]the rules of baking.
[47:31]I thought I would share
[47:32]with you guys
[47:32]the six rules of baking.
[47:33]See what you guys think.
[47:34]Oh, all right.
[47:36]Love it.
[47:36]I want to hear it.
[47:37]I want to hear it.
[47:38]Number one is
[47:39]be orderly.
[47:40]Be orderly.
[47:41]That's a good one.
[47:42]That's like when I worked,
[47:43]you know what?
[47:44]That's the same advice
[47:44]I got when I worked
[47:45]at the hospital.
[47:47]And also when I worked.
[47:51]I saw that one.
[47:51]Yeah, you saw that one
[47:52]coming.
[47:53]Okay.
[47:53]It's like 420 in the gaps.
[47:55]You know what?
[47:56]I saw that one
[47:56]coming out of the bullpen.
[47:57]you stepping on punchlines
[47:58]when you were at that
[47:59]comedy.
[47:59]I tried not to.
[48:00]I tried not to.
[48:01]It's called woman aid.
[48:03]He's yelling a punchline.
[48:05]Come on.
[48:05]Here's the thing.
[48:06]It's a kid's coffin.
[48:07]A kid's coffin.
[48:09]This is not the kid's
[48:13]coffin.
[48:13]Excuse me, sir.
[48:15]I have some respect
[48:17]for the punchline.
[48:18]Okay.
[48:18]How about this?
[48:19]How about this?
[48:20]Okay.
[48:21]So you guys think,
[48:21]oh, you're so smart.
[48:22]This is why I'm Einstein
[48:23]compared to you guys.
[48:24]Less smart people.
[48:25]Orderly.
[48:27]That sounds like when I
[48:28]worked at fast food
[48:29]restaurants testing their
[48:30]drive-thru mics.
[48:32]Hello.
[48:33]Hello.
[48:33]Can you hear me?
[48:33]I'd like a number two
[48:34]order.
[48:35]Lee got in these nuts.
[48:37]Oh,
[48:39]oh,
[48:41]oh,
[48:43]Russell, what's rule number two?
[48:44]It says use good tools.
[48:46]Use good tools.
[48:47]Use good tools.
[48:48]There you go.
[48:49]What do you think of that rule?
[48:51]Russell, can I tell you right now?
[48:52]Our kitchen's
[48:53]sets that we have
[48:54]all time low right now.
[48:55]Missing like the half teaspoon thing.
[48:58]Lots of different spoons in there.
[49:00]Nothing matches.
[49:01]We need
[49:01]multiple spatulas
[49:03]in the last couple months
[49:04]have broken.
[49:04]We have not replaced them.
[49:05]We are low on spatulas.
[49:07]I think I only have
[49:07]two pairs of tongs.
[49:08]Things are a disaster
[49:09]in the Rob Hustle.
[49:10]You might have to dump everything
[49:11]and just kind of do a reboot
[49:13]of that stuff, huh?
[49:14]Come on, OXO.
[49:15]Give me those OXO stuff.
[49:16]I got
[49:17]like a metal set of
[49:19]measuring cups and spoons
[49:21]a couple of years ago
[49:22]and it's the greatest thing
[49:24]I've ever got.
[49:24]Best tools for baking
[49:26]I've ever got.
[49:26]Good tools.
[49:27]Got to hand wash them.
[49:28]Don't put them in the dishwasher.
[49:29]It's good stuff.
[49:30]So Matt follows
[49:31]rule two
[49:31]to the T.
[49:33]To the T.
[49:35]Yeah, so orderly.
[49:35]Oh, oh,
[49:36]another good one from here.
[49:38]Number three.
[49:39]Choose good ingredients.
[49:41]Yes.
[49:41]Choose good ingredients.
[49:43]Don't tell me what to do.
[49:44]What do you,
[49:45]if you're baking
[49:46]or you're doing some,
[49:46]what do you have to get
[49:47]for good ingredients?
[49:48]What's the focus?
[49:49]Well, you got to get good butter
[49:50]and you got to know if you,
[49:51]it's probably unsalted,
[49:53]but then you want to have good salt
[49:54]if you're going to put any salt in there.
[49:55]Matt knows better than me.
[49:57]Matt, what are the good ingredients?
[49:58]No, I was going to say
[49:59]then the butter,
[50:00]you got to leave it out.
[50:01]It's got to get to room temperature.
[50:02]You can't have,
[50:03]you know,
[50:04]you can't just pull it
[50:05]right out of the fridge.
[50:05]You got to pull it out
[50:07]and either soften it
[50:08]or let it get to room temperature.
[50:10]And Russell,
[50:10]I'd say if you run out of chocolate chips,
[50:12]use dog shit.
[50:13]You can use dog shit.
[50:14]It's fine.
[50:15]Actually,
[50:16]I think that's on page 17
[50:18]of the,
[50:18]of the thing.
[50:19]Number,
[50:21]number four is measure accurately.
[50:24]Measure accurately.
[50:25]What do you guys,
[50:26]you guys measure everything
[50:27]or you just kind of pinch in here,
[50:28]drop in here.
[50:29]And I try to measure,
[50:31]but I,
[50:31]my,
[50:31]my cookies,
[50:32]I didn't have enough flour.
[50:33]And that's because
[50:34]we were down to the bottom of the flour
[50:37]and I didn't want to put another,
[50:38]we got another bag up there.
[50:39]I didn't want to put it in the flour.
[50:40]Hold on.
[50:40]I didn't want to put it in the flour.
[50:40]I didn't want to put it in the flour.
[50:40]I didn't want to put it in the folder thing.
[50:41]And so I said,
[50:42]you know,
[50:42]we'll just be about an eighth of a cup short on,
[50:44]on flour.
[50:46]And you could really tell
[50:47]they weren't as fluffy as they should be.
[50:48]Russell,
[50:49]there's only one thing I measure when I'm baking.
[50:51]And that's my tone.
[50:52]When I say to Jenny,
[50:54]can you please make me some cookies?
[50:55]What are the odds?
[50:59]Rob really uses please in that,
[51:00]in that request.
[51:01]That's easy.
[51:02]Not good.
[51:02]Not good.
[51:03]Would you make me some cookies?
[51:04]Yeah,
[51:05]that does sound like me.
[51:06]Let's just pretend like,
[51:07]let's pretend like we're in like a gym
[51:08]and you got to yell across it to Jenny.
[51:10]To make some cookies.
[51:11]How are they going?
[51:11]Jenny,
[51:13]please make me some cookies.
[51:14]She's got the stand mixer going already.
[51:15]Let's go.
[51:16]There's some stuff going on in there.
[51:18]You got to yell over the sound of the appliances.
[51:19]I'm worried she can hear you through the headphones.
[51:21]We're trying.
[51:22]Jenny,
[51:22]make me some cookies.
[51:24]make me some cookies.
[51:25]They do give you two,
[51:26]two don'ts about measuring flour.
[51:28]I don't know if you guys measure flour,
[51:30]but here,
[51:30]these are outside of the six rules,
[51:32]but don't have don'ts about measuring flour.
[51:34]Stems and seeds.
[51:35]Don't dip up the sifted flour with the cup.
[51:37]It packs down again.
[51:38]Wow.
[51:39]Don't.
[51:40]Don't dip up the sifted flour with the cup.
[51:40]Don't dip up,
[51:41]it says.
[51:41]Don't dip up.
[51:43]I don't know.
[51:43]Okay.
[51:44]Don't dip up.
[51:45]And then it says,
[51:46]don't jar the cup on the table
[51:48]or wrap it with a spoon while measuring.
[51:50]It causes the flour to settle.
[51:52]They want you to dip down
[51:54]to pick a flour out of the bowl?
[51:55]They want you to keep your flour nice and fluffy.
[51:57]They don't want it packed down.
[51:59]Yeah.
[51:59]Okay.
[52:00]Wow.
[52:00]Don't want you packing it down.
[52:01]You're supposed to keep it fluffy.
[52:02]Number five,
[52:04]mix carefully.
[52:05]Mix carefully.
[52:06]Mix carefully.
[52:06]I cannot imagine.
[52:08]Listen,
[52:10]when my mom.
[52:11]Jenny,
[52:11]can you mix that cookie dough carefully,
[52:13]please?
[52:14]When my mom saw me mixing a bowl of cookie dough
[52:19]and saw how strong I was doing that
[52:21]and had almost unlimited energy
[52:23]to move my arm in that motion.
[52:25]Brought her back to her college days.
[52:27]Sorry.
[52:30]I apologize.
[52:31]It was inappropriate.
[52:32]Russell,
[52:32]that's my kid's grandmother
[52:34]you're talking about having sex in college.
[52:36]Okay.
[52:38]You think my kids want to hear about grandma?
[52:40]Having sex in college?
[52:42]Maybe she was.
[52:44]Anyway,
[52:44]I want to hear about it.
[52:45]If you turn it to volume a little bit.
[52:47]Yeah.
[52:47]The last rule of making that.
[52:51]It says,
[52:52]know your pans and oven
[52:53]and how to cool your cakes.
[52:55]Oh,
[52:55]got to cool your cakes.
[52:56]How are we cooling our cakes?
[52:58]I mean,
[52:59]it's put in the freezer,
[53:00]right?
[53:00]Like what?
[53:01]What are they talking about?
[53:02]Like you got to have it on a rack.
[53:03]Oh,
[53:03]but on the rack.
[53:04]Yep.
[53:05]Got to get a little air underneath it.
[53:06]There were all these recipes in here.
[53:07]I saw one for lemon meringue pie.
[53:09]Maybe I'll have to send it over to Aaron.
[53:10]Cause I know he loves the lemon curd or whatever.
[53:13]Gross.
[53:14]But I was going through the other family one.
[53:16]And I noticed this one also had random cocktails in it.
[53:19]Wow.
[53:19]Some of them were submitted by my mom.
[53:23]It turns out.
[53:23]That's funny,
[53:24]right?
[53:24]I have a similar,
[53:25]I have,
[53:25]I have some recipes from my grandma who I thought didn't drink.
[53:28]And then there's a recipe for homemade eggnog in there.
[53:30]And it's like,
[53:31]you can use brandy or whiskey,
[53:33]whatever you choose.
[53:33]Like what grandma?
[53:34]So what are the cocktails?
[53:36]I will give you guys one.
[53:37]Did you make one?
[53:37]I'll give you one of her drinks.
[53:39]We can do the peach fuzz or the strawberry fuzz.
[53:40]I'll give you the strawberry slush,
[53:41]which you want to hear.
[53:42]We got time.
[53:44]We better go both.
[53:45]Yeah,
[53:45]we got,
[53:45]it's really got one episode tonight.
[53:47]We better hear both.
[53:48]The peach fuzz recipe by my mom.
[53:49]Again,
[53:50]someone who I have probably had less than five drinks as long as I have been alive.
[53:55]Two peaches with skin,
[53:59]no pits.
[54:00]Obviously she's telling you,
[54:02]take out the pits.
[54:03]Wow.
[54:03]Sounds like Angelina Jolie.
[54:05]Is she going to smash them?
[54:06]One six ounce can of lemonade.
[54:10]Oh yeah.
[54:10]Okay.
[54:10]Frozen.
[54:11]Right.
[54:11]Wait a minute.
[54:12]Okay.
[54:13]We're talking the freezer concentrate lemonade.
[54:16]Yes.
[54:17]Okay.
[54:17]Now I'm going to ask you guys a question.
[54:19]Do you think a young Rob didn't use a spoon and eat the lemonade concentrate right out
[54:28]of the freezer?
[54:28]Even though you got to dip up or down or B I,
[54:32]I mean,
[54:33]Rob would do that and it would give him quite big canker sores.
[54:37]I had a lot of canker sores.
[54:40]Okay.
[54:40]Guess which one.
[54:41]Okay.
[54:41]Russell,
[54:42]go ahead.
[54:42]Sorry.
[54:42]The last thing is six ounces of vodka.
[54:44]And then you're,
[54:45]you're putting it in ice.
[54:46]You're blending it.
[54:47]That's the drink.
[54:47]That's the peach.
[54:48]So you're hydrating the,
[54:50]you're hydrating the lemonade with vodka.
[54:53]Russell read that again.
[54:54]It was a peach.
[54:55]A what?
[54:56]And then two peaches,
[54:57]two peaches,
[54:58]six ounces of lemonade,
[55:00]six ounces of vodka.
[55:01]It's one of these.
[55:03]Yeah.
[55:03]I would assume you're putting in,
[55:05]it doesn't say anything about ice,
[55:07]but no,
[55:07]it says blend with ice.
[55:08]So I'm assuming you put ice in there.
[55:10]That's your water.
[55:10]That's it too.
[55:11]I would drink one of these for sure.
[55:12]Sounds delicious.
[55:13]Russell,
[55:13]I would hammer a peach fuzz.
[55:15]I'm not going to lie.
[55:16]What was the,
[55:17]what was the alcoholic drink that Leo had in North Dakota?
[55:19]Weren't there alcoholic slushies that Leo had?
[55:21]Oh yeah.
[55:22]Yeah.
[55:22]It was like,
[55:23]uh,
[55:23]no,
[55:24]what is it?
[55:24]Hard Mike?
[55:25]Yeah.
[55:25]Mike's hard lemonade.
[55:26]Yeah.
[55:27]It was basically in the slushies.
[55:28]Yeah,
[55:29]man.
[55:30]I recently got excited cause summer is coming and I was like,
[55:32]I get to go back and use those North Dakota sound clips that I made.
[55:35]Oh,
[55:35]can't wait.
[55:37]Yeah.
[55:39]But school starts again.
[55:40]In about four months.
[55:41]Fuck off.
[55:42]Seriously.
[55:43]Fuck off.
[55:43]That's not cool.
[55:44]I'm not kidding.
[55:45]I know we got in a fight last week and I will fight you again this week,
[55:48]man.
[55:48]Do not say that anymore.
[55:50]Okay.
[55:50]I will.
[55:51]I will never say that.
[55:53]Rob,
[55:54]roll it going.
[55:54]How's it going with you?
[55:55]Listen,
[55:56]I think I found out what the worst thing to hear during sex is.
[56:02]You found this or you just thought of it on top of your head?
[56:06]Uh,
[56:06]well,
[56:07]no,
[56:07]I didn't think of it.
[56:08]I kind of discovered it.
[56:10]Let's say.
[56:11]Okay.
[56:12]I was having sex with my wife and she said,
[56:15]Oh,
[56:15]uh,
[56:16]I have a question to ask you later.
[56:17]Oh,
[56:18]and I was like,
[56:19]mother motherfucker.
[56:23]You cannot.
[56:24]If I was having sex and I got a work email on my watch and I checked it,
[56:28]that's how this felt.
[56:29]You know what I mean?
[56:31]I have a question to ask you later.
[56:32]And I was like,
[56:33]Oh,
[56:34]well,
[56:35]I hope that question is how'd you learn to use that dick so good,
[56:37]but I don't think that's what she's going to say.
[56:39]Okay.
[56:40]Do you know what I mean?
[56:44]What?
[56:44]Like you've been married 20 years.
[56:46]She should,
[56:46]I mean,
[56:46]it'd be weird if she doesn't know at this point.
[56:48]And here's the problem guys.
[56:49]I thought it was going well.
[56:51]I thought it was going pretty well.
[56:53]I was proud of myself.
[56:54]I was like this jujitsu right there in the pocket.
[56:58]Huh?
[56:58]My abs are tight.
[56:59]We're both in bed by eight 15 between eight 15 and eight 18.
[57:03]Apparently you have a three minute window because of melatonin is kicking in.
[57:09]Oh,
[57:10]but when she says,
[57:11]I have a question to ask you later,
[57:12]it is,
[57:13]it destroys you.
[57:14]It destroys you mentally.
[57:15]That's yeah.
[57:16]Uh,
[57:16]and I do.
[57:18]And the worst part is I do not remember what the question was.
[57:20]Oh,
[57:20]I was hoping I was going to say,
[57:22]what was the question?
[57:23]By the time she asked me for some reason,
[57:25]I was so sleepy.
[57:26]I was so tired.
[57:27]I do not remember what the question was.
[57:29]So that's on me.
[57:31]So did she bring it back up to you or did you say,
[57:33]Hey,
[57:34]by the way,
[57:34]what was that question?
[57:35]That would be so good.
[57:38]Oh,
[57:40]if she brought it up again,
[57:42]you just my homework from when we were having sex.
[57:44]We were talking about Metallica,
[57:45]Metallica,
[57:46]the black album.
[57:47]Wow.
[57:47]Okay.
[57:48]This is there.
[57:49]Aaron,
[57:50]do you know what album?
[57:51]This is what number this blew my mind.
[57:52]Uh,
[57:53]number five,
[57:54]I think,
[57:54]right?
[57:54]Yes.
[57:55]This is their fifth album.
[57:56]Okay.
[57:56]And it got kill them all.
[57:58]You got master of puppets,
[58:00]ride the lightning and justice for all.
[58:01]At this point,
[58:03]Metallica was played on 10 radio stations in the United States.
[58:10]All the four albums before,
[58:11]because they were so hardcore speed metal,
[58:14]every album,
[58:16]they were trying to get faster and faster and faster.
[58:17]And they were going,
[58:18]and all of a sudden this is,
[58:20]I mean,
[58:21]how else do you say this?
[58:22]Russell,
[58:22]this is the album where everybody says they sold out,
[58:25]right?
[58:26]I mean,
[58:26]that's the name.
[58:27]That's,
[58:27]that's the main point of this album,
[58:29]right?
[58:30]I would say they become more mainstream.
[58:32]They start to have more radio friendly hits,
[58:35]but a part of it too,
[58:36]is I think a lot of their songs before are like nine minute
[58:39]thrash.
[58:39]Thrash metal songs.
[58:40]And I think I was reading something where I don't know if it was a
[58:43]newstead or Kirk Hammett or one of them were saying they reached a
[58:47]point when they were touring on the previous album and they're playing
[58:49]like a nine minute song.
[58:50]They're looking out in the crowd and people are getting bored.
[58:52]Wow.
[58:53]This is the same song for nine minutes.
[58:54]So I think more of these songs are a little bit shorter,
[58:57]but they're slower and heavier than trash before.
[58:59]You're seeing like ride the lightning.
[59:01]You're seeing ride the lightning and you're just getting bored.
[59:03]You'd be like,
[59:04]what?
[59:05]Who's getting bored to those songs?
[59:06]I loved them.
[59:07]Now that's why everybody gets stoned.
[59:09]At like the jam bands.
[59:11]Oh,
[59:11]right.
[59:12]Cause we got the 10 minute jams and you got to be stoned.
[59:14]But if you're head banging for 10 minutes,
[59:17]that ain't good.
[59:17]This they,
[59:20]they pull in,
[59:21]they say,
[59:21]we want to make a more palatable album.
[59:23]So they pulled in a guy to engineer who worked on Dr.
[59:26]Feel good.
[59:27]A guy with the perfect name of Bob rock.
[59:30]And Bob rock goes on to produce a couple albums for him.
[59:33]That's his real name,
[59:34]right?
[59:35]That is.
[59:36]Yeah.
[59:36]Well,
[59:37]I mean,
[59:37]well,
[59:38]Robert,
[59:38]excuse me,
[59:39]Mr.
[59:39]Rock is my dad.
[59:40]Yeah.
[59:40]Call me Bob rock rock.
[59:43]I love,
[59:44]I love his description of working with the band.
[59:45]He was expecting production to be easy,
[59:47]but he had trouble working the band leading to frequent engaged arguments with
[59:50]the band members over aspects of the albums.
[59:52]Rock wanted headfield to write better lyrics and found his experience
[59:56]recording with Metallica disappointing.
[59:57]So that's a bummer.
[60:00]When you have to tell the lead singer,
[60:01]Hey,
[60:01]could you do me a favor?
[60:02]Could you do better lyrics?
[60:04]I mean,
[60:07]are the lyrics that different on this?
[60:08]And then the first four,
[60:09]Russell,
[60:09]you know,
[60:09]their,
[60:10]their catalog better than mine.
[60:11]I mean,
[60:12]it's like,
[60:12]it's sometimes cringe in like a dork way.
[60:16]Right.
[60:16]But I feel like that's the kind of their thing.
[60:18]As they're saying.
[60:20]Yeah.
[60:20]I think if you,
[60:21]if you were to look at it,
[60:22]there,
[60:22]there are more songs where if you were to try to parse a meaning,
[60:25]there could be a meaning like maybe more introspective than some of the
[60:29]previous albums that don't really have that.
[60:32]I think this album,
[60:33]they remixed it a ton of times.
[60:34]It costs a million dollars.
[60:35]And like Russ said earlier,
[60:37]all Rick Hammett and Newstead are,
[60:39]are all divorcing their wives while they're recording this album.
[60:41]Okay.
[60:42]That must've been crazy.
[60:43]Can you imagine being the one guy,
[60:44]if you're the one wife who's still there,
[60:47]you're going to be like,
[60:48]okay.
[60:48]And this is before they were sober too.
[60:50]Right.
[60:50]Or were some of them sober?
[60:51]I think this is,
[60:53]I don't,
[60:54]I do not think they're sober at this point.
[60:55]This album has spent 10 collective years on the billboard 200.
[61:00]It's the fourth album in American history to spend over 550 weeks on the
[61:04]billboard 200 with dark side of the mood legend and journey's greatest hits.
[61:09]What a third album to put in there.
[61:10]Journey's greatest hits.
[61:11]And they also recorded this at the same time as guns and roses doing use your
[61:15]illusion.
[61:15]And James Hedfield will talk about like slash would come over and play and
[61:18]what they're making and Hedfield would play for slash.
[61:20]And I was just like,
[61:21]Holy fuck.
[61:22]Can you imagine being in that studio and you're getting all this stuff and
[61:24]you're like,
[61:25]Oh,
[61:25]use your illusion sucks compared to your first album guys.
[61:28]Yeah,
[61:28]man.
[61:29]Just a reminder that there was these,
[61:33]I don't know,
[61:33]seven,
[61:34]eight albums that all came out within 41 days of each other in 1991.
[61:37]Let's hear it.
[61:37]Metallica,
[61:38]Metallica,
[61:39]Pearl jam 10,
[61:40]use your illusion.
[61:41]Guns and roses.
[61:42]One and two blood sugar,
[61:44]sex,
[61:44]magic,
[61:44]red,
[61:45]hot chili peppers,
[61:46]sound gardens,
[61:47]a bad moto finger.
[61:49]And then nevermind by Nirvana.
[61:50]All of those came out within 41 days of each other in 1981.
[61:54]Aaron,
[61:54]my dad was at the album and they're recording this and you know what he
[61:57]said to a slash.
[61:58]He goes,
[61:58]you guys should be fucking dolphins in the video.
[62:01]That's cool.
[62:02]That's what people want.
[62:03]Your fans want you to be a dolphin.
[62:05]They're not going to think that's a weird,
[62:06]what everyone wants.
[62:07]Think about the episodes.
[62:09]We've put out in the last 41 days.
[62:10]Like the,
[62:11]the Rob doing princess die episode.
[62:13]Yeah.
[62:13]What other episodes?
[62:15]That's kind of my motor finger on the last 41 days.
[62:17]Yeah.
[62:19]So four of those,
[62:20]four of those are on this list.
[62:21]Four of those albums now are on this.
[62:23]It's so strange.
[62:23]My wife got a package from sound garden.
[62:25]Cause she got something in the mail from the motor finger company.
[62:27]Huh?
[62:29]The good motor.
[62:31]These illusions are not on the list,
[62:36]are they?
[62:36]No.
[62:37]So Metallica,
[62:38]Pearl jam,
[62:39]10,
[62:39]uh,
[62:40]blood sugar,
[62:40]sex magics coming up later.
[62:42]And also just so we're aware,
[62:43]I do own this album.
[62:46]We have listened to it on my new clip speaker.
[62:48]It's a,
[62:49]it's,
[62:50]it's got four sides,
[62:51]three songs on every side.
[62:52]So four,
[62:53]two records,
[62:55]four sides,
[62:56]three songs on every side.
[62:58]Ooh,
[62:58]let's,
[63:00]I got to go through this one more time.
[63:02]So this is the fourth of four that are on the list.
[63:05]This album,
[63:06]black album by Metallica,
[63:07]Pearl,
[63:08]jam,
[63:08]10 Metallica,
[63:10]blood sugar,
[63:11]sex magic.
[63:11]I guess we already did that one.
[63:12]I want to do that one.
[63:13]Totally forgot.
[63:14]And then nevermind by Nirvana.
[63:16]Wow.
[63:16]Crazy.
[63:17]So,
[63:18]but this is the fourth one and we're way down.
[63:20]I mean,
[63:20]I don't,
[63:21]do you think it should be the fourth one out of those,
[63:24]those four albums?
[63:25]Let's just do a mini ranking.
[63:26]This is a,
[63:27]this is a thousand times better than the red,
[63:29]actually peppers album.
[63:30]I,
[63:31]I think it's better.
[63:32]Yeah,
[63:32]I think it's better.
[63:33]Sure.
[63:33]Yep.
[63:34]Enter sand man.
[63:35]James Hadfield wrote this and said,
[63:38]it sounded,
[63:38]it was so commercial.
[63:39]And he then made lyrics about destroying the perfect family,
[63:43]a huge,
[63:44]horrible secret for the family,
[63:45]which is like,
[63:45]anytime you interview these guys about these songs,
[63:47]they're like,
[63:47]I wrote the darkest lyrics.
[63:49]And it's like,
[63:50]yeah,
[63:50]we get it.
[63:50]You guys are dark.
[63:52]These guys are a Bay area,
[63:54]right?
[63:54]El Cerrito.
[63:54]Yeah.
[63:55]I went to the movies last night,
[63:56]saw freaky tales,
[63:58]which is awesome.
[63:59]It's set in Oakland and they played a ton of Bay area music and they played,
[64:02]it's set in 1987.
[64:03]So they didn't play any of these tunes,
[64:05]but they played from the belt holes.
[64:06]Cause yeah,
[64:07]those guys are Bay area.
[64:08]Do you think there's a,
[64:10]I was listening to this and I was thinking of Mariano Rivera and he would
[64:15]come in and Metallica played this.
[64:17]I think it is retirement when they retired his Jersey,
[64:19]they played out in center field for this,
[64:22]but you know,
[64:22]this was his famous song.
[64:23]And I was thinking if we'd ever done the,
[64:25]you know,
[64:25]the closer songs and we went back,
[64:26]we did talk about the greatest closer band songs ever.
[64:30]And that was the first time we ever talked about the macho man.
[64:33]I went back.
[64:34]Cause I wasn't going to repeat the list,
[64:37]but Rob Aaron,
[64:38]I think brought up a blaster jacks or whatever the,
[64:40]that one is the tiny Tim.
[64:43]I don't even know what the hell that song is.
[64:44]But that was the first time we ever had the macho man show up on the pod.
[64:50]It was the whole episode.
[64:51]And we're actually doing a,
[64:53]we're not gonna do any impressions tonight.
[64:55]So actually we're just going to kind of move on.
[64:58]This is going to be an all time,
[65:00]like top 10 hard rock song,
[65:03]right?
[65:03]This one says like,
[65:05]so the only kids like this one now,
[65:06]go ahead,
[65:07]man.
[65:08]So you brought up Mariana Rivera.
[65:10]You have to bring up,
[65:11]you have to,
[65:12]because we're all college football fans.
[65:14]Virginia Tech famously has this as they're running out and it is unbelievable.
[65:20]You should YouTube it right now.
[65:22]Google it right now.
[65:22]Whatever.
[65:23]Watch Virginia Tech.
[65:24]Very good.
[65:25]Enter Sandman.
[65:25]Have them watch when the,
[65:27]when the team comes out.
[65:28]It was very similar to when I would go to a St.
[65:30]Olaf basketball game.
[65:31]It was a very similar vibe.
[65:33]Yeah.
[65:34]The music is blaring.
[65:35]Me and the three other guys who were there,
[65:38]for the almost the beginning of the game,
[65:40]we didn't quite get the tip off,
[65:41]but we're there like five minutes into the quarter.
[65:42]We're rocking and rolling.
[65:44]We're saying,
[65:44]yeah,
[65:44]Hey,
[65:45]we love the threes.
[65:46]Yeah.
[65:49]Hey,
[65:49]is there going to be a dunk this game?
[65:51]Who knows?
[65:51]Why don't you cheer a little louder?
[65:52]Like you did at the game,
[65:53]Rob cheer,
[65:54]like you did that.
[65:55]I'm not getting the vibe.
[65:56]I'm not getting the full vibe.
[65:57]Okay.
[65:58]So I am going to move on here.
[65:59]Sad,
[66:00]but true.
[66:01]But I mean,
[66:01]is there a band?
[66:02]Is that the album opener?
[66:03]That's crazy.
[66:03]It is crazy.
[66:05]The beginning of Sandman is like,
[66:07]is I know Aaron's talked,
[66:08]but the best drop that you know,
[66:09]but that's as good of an opening to an album.
[66:12]Right.
[66:12]Yep.
[66:12]So Bob rock said to him,
[66:15]Hey,
[66:15]every song on this album is in the key of E.
[66:18]And they said,
[66:19]you know what they said,
[66:20]Aaron,
[66:20]is it be the lowest note?
[66:22]And they said,
[66:26]well,
[66:26]yeah,
[66:26]but we did Dr.
[66:27]Feel good.
[66:27]We did it and drop D.
[66:28]So they dropped this song down to drop D,
[66:30]which is why it sounds heavier.
[66:31]We heard that with the black Sabbath last week as well.
[66:33]Is there a band that has more of a sense memory for you?
[66:38]Than Metallica?
[66:39]No.
[66:39]I mean,
[66:39]when I listen to Metallica,
[66:41]it takes me back to about three places in my life.
[66:44]Like I remember distinctly when I got in,
[66:46]this was such a strong weight room.
[66:49]Also,
[66:50]we were in like sixth grade when this came out.
[66:52]So like the kid who had the black Metallica CD was like,
[66:55]Oh,
[66:55]his parents bought him this CD and he's cool.
[66:58]And he listened to music loud or she,
[67:00]in my case,
[67:01]it was Scott Bailey.
[67:01]But you know,
[67:02]when they were playing that,
[67:04]I'll tell you again,
[67:05]that's that Metallica video where it had the guy of the,
[67:08]the landmine has,
[67:09]and they had that video on MTV.
[67:11]It scared the shit out of me.
[67:13]Yeah.
[67:13]That was terrifying.
[67:13]That video was,
[67:14]that is an all time.
[67:15]One is an all time memory.
[67:16]I think with Aaron,
[67:17]myself and two of our other roommates in college,
[67:19]we played that.
[67:20]We all,
[67:21]we rocked out in a car.
[67:22]Like we were in a Wayne's world.
[67:25]What's the Wayne's world.
[67:25]Yeah.
[67:26]Bohemian rock.
[67:27]Absolutely.
[67:27]Listen.
[67:28]Yeah.
[67:29]I wrote by this song,
[67:32]this fucking rocks.
[67:33]And then I read that James Hadfield said,
[67:34]Oh,
[67:35]this is one of our sillier songs.
[67:36]What?
[67:38]This is a silly song.
[67:40]To me,
[67:45]this sounds a little more commercial.
[67:46]Right.
[67:46]This is the kind of the first one that I was like,
[67:49]ah,
[67:49]we're commercial compared to you.
[67:51]Do you guys remember people saying that Metallica sold out?
[67:53]Like people get worked up about that.
[67:56]I,
[67:56]I,
[67:56]I think we're too young.
[67:57]Yeah.
[67:58]I didn't know.
[67:58]They were popular.
[68:00]We're like 10,
[68:01]12 years old for us,
[68:03]but we weren't old enough to know,
[68:05]kill them all.
[68:05]And we,
[68:06]we didn't know those.
[68:07]So like,
[68:07]I bet in college,
[68:08]like I probably got into Metallica in high school,
[68:10]then probably more into college.
[68:12]But I,
[68:12]I like the black album.
[68:15]I didn't like kill them all.
[68:16]I didn't like master puppets much then.
[68:18]But if you listen now,
[68:20]like I'll say,
[68:21]if you go back and we'd listen to sad,
[68:22]but true,
[68:23]that song is slow as shit.
[68:24]And I could see why the,
[68:26]like the original Metallica fans here,
[68:29]sad,
[68:29]but true.
[68:29]And it's just like plodding along.
[68:32]And they're out there.
[68:34]They're early.
[68:34]So it was so much faster.
[68:36]True.
[68:36]I,
[68:37]I will say a load came out in 1996.
[68:40]I do remember everybody calling that to sell out.
[68:43]I'll I do that.
[68:44]I remember,
[68:45]but I liked it.
[68:45]You know,
[68:46]not so much on the black.
[68:47]I had fuel on it.
[68:48]I mean,
[68:48]I liked it.
[68:49]We saw the load tour wrestle.
[68:50]We will be the reload.
[68:51]I,
[68:54]I only saw one tour of theirs,
[68:56]Aaron.
[68:56]You'll never guess which one it was.
[68:57]St.
[68:57]Anger.
[68:58]St.
[68:59]Anger.
[68:59]My favorite album.
[69:00]There's the unforgiven.
[69:01]Now,
[69:02]of course,
[69:02]Russell,
[69:03]we have heard Rob was that question that Jenny was asking you about that one night about your,
[69:07]reload.
[69:07]Oh,
[69:09]are you serious?
[69:10]Russell?
[69:10]Oh,
[69:11]sorry.
[69:11]You think I'm doing a reload?
[69:12]First of all,
[69:13]can you,
[69:15]I can't imagine Russell.
[69:16]We'd be up till 10 46.
[69:18]Easy.
[69:18]Do it.
[69:19]There's no other up till now.
[69:21]There's no other song in their catalog.
[69:23]Anything like this.
[69:24]Is there,
[69:24]I mean,
[69:25]is there anything on the previous four albums that does like the,
[69:28]this guitar sound or anything?
[69:30]My guitar sound is definitely different.
[69:33]Cause that,
[69:33]this comes from like,
[69:34]this is where they do the,
[69:35]it's like the spaghetti Western music.
[69:37]Right at the beginning.
[69:38]And we've heard this before Russell on your songs with sequels list.
[69:42]Cause of course they had the unforgiven two on reload and unforgiven three on a death
[69:47]magnetic.
[69:48]One of my,
[69:50]another one of my favorite albums of theirs,
[69:51]wherever I may roam,
[69:53]this is their fourth single.
[69:54]And this,
[69:56]we were talking about this.
[69:58]Rob pull up ecstasy of gold.
[70:01]It's like,
[70:02]I don't know if Rob,
[70:03]have you met,
[70:03]have you,
[70:04]have you guys been to Metallica concert or not?
[70:06]Yeah.
[70:07]I went to that same one.
[70:07]You guys went to.
[70:08]Yeah.
[70:08]So I,
[70:09]Metallica is the band I've seen most.
[70:11]I bet I've seen them like seven,
[70:12]eight times maybe,
[70:13]but they always start every concert with the ecstasy of gold.
[70:19]Like the Clint Eastwood movie.
[70:22]And it's always an amazing opener.
[70:24]So they do this and then it ramps up,
[70:29]it ramps up and then they come out and then they just start smashing it.
[70:32]Aaron,
[70:32]I was going to ask you though.
[70:33]One thing I was reasoning about unforgiven with that is,
[70:36]is a lot of people like Dave Mustaine who got kicked out of the band said,
[70:40]this was his favorite Metallica song.
[70:42]Cause it was the first time he'd ever heard Hetfield sing.
[70:44]Yeah.
[70:45]He really does.
[70:45]Normally he's like screaming and everything.
[70:47]He's just screaming.
[70:48]Right.
[70:48]But this is like the one time he was singing and they were talking in the,
[70:51]and I was reading that he wanted to be like Chris Isaac.
[70:53]Oh,
[70:55]it's wicked game or whatever that song,
[70:57]but that was part of the production is like,
[70:59]you've got to sing normal.
[71:00]We can't just double track you.
[71:01]But what do you think of Hetfield as a singer?
[71:03]I haven't thought of him as a singer,
[71:05]but when they,
[71:06]when they,
[71:06]when forgiving comes on,
[71:07]you go like,
[71:07]Whoa,
[71:08]he can kind of,
[71:08]it sounds nice.
[71:09]And he's like,
[71:10]it's cool.
[71:11]But yeah,
[71:11]the rest of the time he's kind of just snarling or growling or doing,
[71:14]do whatever the song takes.
[71:16]But yeah,
[71:16]the unforgiven is totally different.
[71:17]That's part of why it's so striking to me is like,
[71:19]Oh,
[71:19]this is not their usual stuff.
[71:21]Don't tread on me.
[71:24]Now.
[71:24]I always wondered where I recognized the beginning of this song.
[71:28]And they say it's a bar taken from America.
[71:31]The song from wherever I may roam.
[71:33]Did we do the sitar?
[71:36]Where's the sitar?
[71:38]Whoever I may roam the very beginning.
[71:40]Oh yeah.
[71:46]Electric sitar.
[71:47]Is that what that is?
[71:48]I never knew that.
[71:49]Yes.
[71:50]Who's playing the sitar there,
[71:51]Russell?
[71:51]I think it's Hammond.
[71:52]Wow.
[71:53]Ravi.
[71:54]Ravi Shankar.
[71:55]I cannot tell you how high I got Mel B listening to a Ravi Shankar album.
[72:00]Holy cow.
[72:02]Number five.
[72:04]Number five.
[72:05]Go for it a little bit further.
[72:06]Two.
[72:06]There's this clicking sound.
[72:07]I was reading about this.
[72:08]It's a 12 string bass.
[72:10]Yes.
[72:11]I saw that.
[72:12]Did you hear that in there,
[72:13]Rob or not?
[72:13]No,
[72:14]but I read that.
[72:15]I mean,
[72:15]the 12 string bass is so it's too much bass.
[72:18]Like,
[72:18]why do you need 12 strings?
[72:20]That's three times the normal number of strings.
[72:22]Russell.
[72:22]That's a crazy number.
[72:23]What do you do with all those strings?
[72:25]I can't imagine me.
[72:26]Not much.
[72:27]Okay.
[72:28]I can never play it very well,
[72:29]but I bet that kicks ass having a 12 string bass.
[72:32]Oh,
[72:33]so many strings.
[72:34]Listen to this.
[72:36]This is the introduction is a,
[72:39]you know how they copied.
[72:40]Remember when they copied that Bowie song about Andy Warhol and that one solo on Master of Puppets.
[72:46]Oh,
[72:46]it's so good.
[72:47]Yeah.
[72:47]Yeah.
[72:47]They copied the song America from West Side Story on this one.
[72:50]Listen.
[72:51]That's awesome.
[72:51]Right here.
[72:54]Listen to this.
[72:55]Nice.
[73:02]That's cool.
[73:05]Yes.
[73:05]Yes.
[73:06]Yes.
[73:06]The Turks and the Jets are going to fucking fight.
[73:09]Yes.
[73:09]Don't tread on me.
[73:14]So good.
[73:15]And now I was reading on songfacts.com on that song,
[73:19]Rob,
[73:19]that a lady said,
[73:21]should you ever encounter a wild cougar on your travels?
[73:24]You should play.
[73:25]Don't tread on me.
[73:25]And the cougar will run away.
[73:27]Smart.
[73:28]That's good advice.
[73:29]Now we're the best wild cougar fighting podcast.
[73:32]Thoughts on wild cougars,
[73:34]Rob?
[73:36]Uh,
[73:36]here is my hotel key.
[73:37]Bring your own pillow.
[73:41]I've got four,
[73:44]uh,
[73:45]airplane pillows.
[73:45]We can put under your waist.
[73:46]You know,
[73:47]can you imagine the height of Matt's dating days?
[73:49]Like he shows up on the date.
[73:50]Like his pillow is in the seat next to him.
[73:53]He's,
[73:53]he's bringing his own pillow and I hate to bring it up again,
[73:56]but he is bringing that Amazon triangle pillow.
[73:58]That's the part he didn't say is that it is one of those sex pillows.
[74:00]Helps get the waist up there.
[74:02]What were we on through the never through the never.
[74:06]Reflection on the universe.
[74:07]Rob,
[74:08]you go to like two 20 there.
[74:10]There's some pretty cool guitar riffs on this,
[74:13]but there's also pretty cool solos.
[74:15]Yeah.
[74:16]I just think,
[74:17]whoa,
[74:18]I can't get enough of this album.
[74:26]I just love it.
[74:27]This kicks ass.
[74:28]Like if I was out riding my dirt bike through a construction site,
[74:33]Oh yeah.
[74:33]Holy shit.
[74:35]This is like,
[74:35]I just love it.
[74:35]I throw it and shit on shit.
[74:37]Oh,
[74:38]I'm off the shovel onto the boards.
[74:42]I'm doing the guys on the scaffolding.
[74:45]They're yelling at me,
[74:45]but I'm going and I'm doing a flip off the scaffolding.
[74:48]Oh,
[74:49]I missed the whole,
[74:53]like,
[74:53]is this Metallica jumping the shark thing?
[74:55]Cause I just remember like growing up as a kid,
[74:57]you saw guys in Metallica t-shirts and you thought Metallica was like scary and
[75:01]worship the devil or something.
[75:02]And then this comes out and you're like,
[75:04]well,
[75:04]they're still kind of scary,
[75:05]but this music rules.
[75:06]And so I didn't know that there was anything like to think twice about,
[75:10]but I do remember seeing them live with Russell.
[75:13]And when they played this stuff and load and reload,
[75:16]it was like,
[75:17]cool.
[75:17]And then when they go back to seek and destroy or master puppets,
[75:20]the place goes fucking berserk.
[75:21]So like,
[75:22]there's definitely that I was 20 before I really realized the schism between
[75:26]Metallica fans.
[75:27]I didn't get it.
[75:28]You know where I bet you started into Metallica.
[75:30]I'm going to throw this out there.
[75:31]March 8th,
[75:32]1993.
[75:33]Mission impossible.
[75:34]I think it's,
[75:35]I think it's Beavis and butthead.
[75:36]Yeah.
[75:37]I think that show,
[75:39]because that's what they would,
[75:40]wouldn't those guys,
[75:41]they'd sit there wearing the Metallica ACB shirts and watch those types of,
[75:45]that's right.
[75:45]Of videos,
[75:46]right?
[75:47]Yep.
[75:47]I,
[75:49]I was always the Metallica guys that who had the Metallica shirts at school.
[75:52]Of course they were scary,
[75:53]but the real freaks were the mega death shirts.
[75:57]Yeah.
[75:57]Anytime somebody had a mega death shirt,
[75:59]I was like,
[75:59]it's like Metallica is not hard enough for them.
[76:02]Yeah.
[76:03]Every one of those guys became law enforcement somehow.
[76:05]Like every one of those guys are now in the state patrol.
[76:08]It's crazy.
[76:09]Nothing else matters.
[76:11]This is their third signal.
[76:13]Got all the way up to 11.
[76:14]There is no Kirk Hammett on this whole song.
[76:16]It's all James Hetfield,
[76:17]including the solos.
[76:19]Really?
[76:19]First dance at my wedding.
[76:25]You good one.
[76:27]Is this considered a ballad,
[76:31]like a metal ballad?
[76:32]Oh yeah.
[76:32]I think so.
[76:33]I think so.
[76:34]Yeah.
[76:35]I mean,
[76:35]this is a crazy.
[76:36]I was reading Rob.
[76:38]I thought you'd think of the kick out of this.
[76:40]August of 2021.
[76:43]This video surpasses a billion views on YouTube.
[76:46]A billion.
[76:48]Rob,
[76:48]I'm curious.
[76:49]What videos have you watched a billion times?
[76:52]I mean,
[76:54]there is,
[76:54]we haven't watched it in a long time,
[76:56]but you would not believe.
[76:57]Oh,
[76:58]not the guy.
[76:58]This guy who gets,
[77:00]now listen,
[77:01]Russell,
[77:01]he does not want to get the balloon.
[77:05]He does not want to get the balloon.
[77:05]And that is very clear.
[77:06]He does not want to get in there.
[77:11]So let's fast forward a little bit.
[77:12]Cause you'll never guess what happens.
[77:13]He puts the balloon on his head and eventually rats.
[77:17]Can I just be clear about this?
[77:19]He's not turned on by being in the balloon.
[77:22]He's not,
[77:23]he doesn't have an enormous erection being covered in latex as the balloon loses air.
[77:28]That's not his thing.
[77:29]Oh,
[77:31]oh great.
[77:32]I'm becoming trapped in the balloon.
[77:35]You're right.
[77:35]Oh,
[77:37]he hates this.
[77:38]Darn it.
[77:42]Darn it.
[77:44]Darn it.
[77:44]Oh,
[77:46]how many,
[77:46]how many times have you watched this?
[77:47]I mean,
[77:49]everything about this room is scary.
[77:51]44,927.
[77:53]Look at the room in this video.
[77:55]This is how he has the pictures arranged.
[77:56]It's very creepy.
[77:58]It's like true detective shit.
[77:59]I can't look at it anymore.
[77:59]All right,
[78:01]listen,
[78:01]let's get into a wolf and man.
[78:05]I think the end of the album is still fun,
[78:10]but it's slow.
[78:11]It,
[78:11]it,
[78:11]wow.
[78:12]All the epics,
[78:13]everything's like the first eight,
[78:15]10 songs,
[78:16]eight songs.
[78:16]It's like most albums.
[78:18]But how could you,
[78:19]how could you keep up with the beginning of this album?
[78:21]I mean,
[78:22]listen to this.
[78:22]I mean,
[78:22]it's probably a little too long,
[78:24]right?
[78:24]How many songs?
[78:24]15?
[78:25]It's too many.
[78:26]12 songs only,
[78:28]but they're all probably six minute songs.
[78:29]This is a great song.
[78:30]This is a good one.
[78:32]And I'll tell you,
[78:33]they're all great.
[78:33]God,
[78:35]that failed.
[78:35]I like this one too.
[78:36]I do have up right now.
[78:40]I am looking at my Metallica XL spreadsheet.
[78:43]Oh yeah.
[78:43]How many of you?
[78:43]It says every song and every song rated on a scale of one to 10.
[78:47]This normal stuff,
[78:50]by the way,
[78:50]normal stuff,
[78:51]average score for the black album and 8.67.
[78:56]Wow.
[78:57]Now,
[78:58]Russell,
[78:58]Russell,
[78:59]let's just,
[78:59]let's just,
[79:00]let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:04]We talked about this.
[79:04]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:04]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:04]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:05]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:05]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:05]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:05]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:05]Let's just tell all the listeners from Spain who maybe don't remember five years ago.
[79:05]This is a spreadsheet Russell made where he,
[79:08]he was going to a Metallica concert.
[79:09]So he took every Metallica album,
[79:11]rated every song on a scale of one to 10.
[79:13]I listened to the whole catalog and graded every song on a scale of one to 10.
[79:17]Yeah.
[79:17]And we had an average for each album.
[79:20]We heard that and we said,
[79:21]this is a guy we should do a podcast with.
[79:23]They're going to be so short and so nice.
[79:25]Okay.
[79:35]Matters.
[79:35]What's the,
[79:36]what's the lowest rated song by the talent for me or ever for you on your rate,
[79:42]on your rating system on this album or any album,
[79:44]any album,
[79:46]any album.
[79:46]I'm looking quick.
[79:47]And the first one that jumps out to me is a song called shoot me again on St.
[79:52]Anger.
[79:52]Oh man.
[79:54]I love this song.
[79:54]I love this album.
[79:56]Seven minutes.
[79:57]Russell.
[79:57]The song is seven minutes long.
[80:05]This is a one.
[80:06]I can see that for sure.
[80:07]This is them listening to like corn and limp biscuit and be like,
[80:12]these guys have fucking got a great idea.
[80:14]Yeah.
[80:15]We should be here.
[80:16]You're like,
[80:16]please sell out again,
[80:17]Metallica.
[80:18]What are we doing?
[80:19]It's beautiful.
[80:20]And just a reminder,
[80:23]all these songs,
[80:24]including that one,
[80:25]you can see them recording it on their documentary for St.
[80:27]Anger.
[80:28]And it's brutal to watch because they're making this album.
[80:31]They're putting in so much work and you're just like,
[80:32]Oh,
[80:32]I know this is a huge flop.
[80:33]It's probably gonna,
[80:35]Oh,
[80:35]now,
[80:36]of course I did,
[80:37]man.
[80:37]And I don't want to say anything.
[80:38]I did get that documentary on Napster recently.
[80:40]So that's on me.
[80:41]And next up,
[80:46]uh,
[80:47]my friend of misery.
[80:48]After a while,
[80:51]do you think you started to think that like James Hadfield is just kind of a
[80:54]bummer.
[80:55]Like he's just kind of bummer to hang around with.
[80:57]Like there's no songs about him doing birthdays or going to a rodeo or
[81:01]they're making like the album.
[81:03]They've got like behind the scenes,
[81:05]I don't know if it's when they're making St.
[81:06]Anger,
[81:06]but they're making one of their albums.
[81:07]It's like a,
[81:08]and they had like a therapist with them because they were,
[81:11]this is Aaron when they're getting his head feels sober.
[81:14]He's back with the band.
[81:15]And when you watch the documentary,
[81:17]I should look up the name of it,
[81:18]but there's a part where he,
[81:20]he agrees.
[81:21]I'm only going to work like four hours a day with you guys on this.
[81:24]And so he would leave and the other guys would want to be listening to the
[81:28]music and he would get,
[81:28]that's my agreement at work too.
[81:29]Cause he,
[81:30]but he would get pissed because they they're working on the music and he's
[81:35]leaving.
[81:35]And he's like,
[81:35]you guys can't be working on this without me.
[81:37]But he was only willing to put like four hours.
[81:40]Right.
[81:40]He does seem kind of like a bummer at times.
[81:44]Do they still tour right now?
[81:45]When was their last tour?
[81:46]Yeah.
[81:47]I was just there.
[81:48]Oh,
[81:48]right.
[81:49]Aaron,
[81:49]do you not remember the Russ summer concert concert tour?
[81:53]I do.
[81:53]Metallica day one.
[81:55]Green day,
[81:56]day two.
[81:57]Yes.
[81:57]Yes.
[81:58]Metallica back again.
[81:59]Day three.
[82:00]Right.
[82:00]Yeah.
[82:01]And then I do remember.
[82:02]Def Leppard.
[82:02]Yeah.
[82:03]Right.
[82:05]And journey.
[82:05]Right.
[82:05]That's right.
[82:05]Steve Miller.
[82:06]They still see.
[82:07]I'm sorry.
[82:08]Yeah.
[82:08]Gosh.
[82:09]Yeah.
[82:09]I mean,
[82:11]you might as well ask if there's a,
[82:12]if there's a buddy Holly tribute show going on in Waterloo,
[82:15]Iowa.
[82:15]Of course there is.
[82:16]Russell's been there.
[82:17]I was sitting right here and I saw ACDC was in town at the Viking stadium.
[82:22]If like a week ago and they had set up like a shop and they had set up a
[82:26]tattoo shop where you could get free ACDC tattoos at the concert.
[82:31]It made me wonder like,
[82:32]who's looking for a free tattoo.
[82:34]Yeah.
[82:34]I'm not like,
[82:35]would you,
[82:35]would you ever get a free tattoo or would you not like insist on paying
[82:39]for it?
[82:39]Yeah.
[82:40]I wouldn't want to get,
[82:40]I also,
[82:41]I don't understand if you'd go to a concert.
[82:42]I mean,
[82:42]tattoos take time unless they're going to just do like a super quick ACDC
[82:46]look.
[82:46]No,
[82:46]it's going to be on your skin forever.
[82:48]I'm willing to pay for that.
[82:49]It would be like planning your birthing class right before the baby's
[82:52]going to get born.
[82:52]The timing is fucked.
[82:53]All it's off.
[82:54]It's way off.
[82:55]No time.
[82:56]Sweetie.
[82:57]I missed the birthing class,
[82:58]but I got this kick ass.
[82:59]Let there be rock tattoo.
[83:01]Okay.
[83:02]It's awesome.
[83:03]And it's really red and I have to cover with a bandage right now.
[83:05]So it's going to be in all the photos of us and the kid,
[83:07]me holding the kid.
[83:08]You're going to see the tattoo covered up with a bandage.
[83:10]That's on me.
[83:11]What?
[83:16]Okay.
[83:17]I put a sandwich.
[83:17]Nevermind.
[83:18]I didn't go to the birthing class.
[83:20]You're getting,
[83:22]you're getting a little loud.
[83:22]Just keep it down a bit.
[83:23]It didn't go to my wife.
[83:25]I'll think this is funny.
[83:26]If she hears the bit about not going to birthing class.
[83:28]He was born on a Friday classes on Saturday.
[83:32]When does that happen?
[83:33]When does the waitress come by?
[83:34]I don't know.
[83:35]I didn't go to the birthing class.
[83:36]I missed it.
[83:37]I screwed that up.
[83:38]I brought just hot dogs and mustard.
[83:43]No buns.
[83:44]That's on me.
[83:45]I misunderstood.
[83:46]What?
[83:49]What did you think this was?
[83:51]The struggle within.
[83:52]Yeah.
[83:54]Another bummer title.
[83:55]Do you guys work with anybody who's just straight negative?
[84:00]Like as soon as they start talking,
[84:02]you're like,
[84:02]oh,
[84:03]here comes some negative stuff.
[84:04]Yeah.
[84:05]Oh,
[84:06]I talked to some people at work and they're just like negative all the time.
[84:11]And I'm like,
[84:11]wow,
[84:12]aren't you just miserable?
[84:13]Like
[84:15]so many things you don't want to do.
[84:19]Guys,
[84:24]that's it for Metallica.
[84:26]That's it.
[84:26]Black album.
[84:27]Wow.
[84:27]They had a Japanese version of so what,
[84:28]but we're not going to play that.
[84:30]Let's get into the.
[84:31]But like a Miles Davis cover.
[84:33]It was a Miles Davis cover a lot of court changes your pants is cool.
[84:42]Consider me Miles Davis.
[84:44]Oh,
[84:45]I should say this is the two or two.
[84:47]If you remember where headfield famously pulled a Michael Jackson,
[84:50]ate a big thing of a pyrotechnics right in his face.
[84:54]I had to go to the hospital for a little bit,
[84:55]so he didn't even get any money from Pepsi.
[84:58]That's the,
[84:59]that's the infamous where guns and roses wouldn't come on stage.
[85:02]This is Montreal.
[85:03]Where they burned,
[85:03]they burned the city down because GNR would not come on stage.
[85:07]And this is like the bit.
[85:08]Honestly,
[85:09]this is Metallica is opening for guns and roses at this point.
[85:12]That's crazy.
[85:12]And this is where they switch.
[85:14]This is where Metallica goes up and guns and roses goes down.
[85:17]Okay.
[85:17]Right.
[85:18]And you imagine what a caution to her.
[85:20]It is.
[85:21]It would be a bummer though.
[85:23]If you go see him and then just a firework goes right off in James
[85:25]headfield's face.
[85:26]Although I got to say of all the guys whose hair I bet would be pretty
[85:30]cool looking at when it's a blaze.
[85:32]James headfield.
[85:33]It's right up there for me.
[85:33]He's it's,
[85:35]it looks like it's maybe carrot tops.
[85:38]Oh,
[85:38]how would you tell?
[85:39]How would you tell you'd go hit carrot fire extinguisher?
[85:43]Oh my God.
[85:44]We've reached the bottom.
[85:45]Maybe there would be those blue flames.
[85:47]Why are there blue flames?
[85:48]Rob?
[85:48]What's the science?
[85:49]Well,
[85:50]it's alcohol burning Russell.
[85:51]Now here's the thing.
[85:52]Okay.
[85:53]This is album.
[85:55]Uh,
[85:56]two 35 on the list.
[85:58]Okay.
[85:59]And again,
[85:59]does this belong in two 35?
[86:01]If it does.
[86:01]Okay.
[86:02]It is rolling.
[86:03]Well toned.
[86:04]It's perfect at this place.
[86:05]If this should be higher on the list,
[86:07]which of course is a lower number,
[86:08]we would have covered it already.
[86:09]It would be a better album.
[86:11]Okay.
[86:11]It's kind of like a NASCAR.
[86:13]The lower you are,
[86:14]the better you are.
[86:15]Oh,
[86:15]I got one.
[86:16]Normally getting three is better.
[86:17]If you're at the bakery,
[86:18]getting three better than one.
[86:20]Not if you're Dick trickle,
[86:21]not if you're Dick trickle,
[86:23]which by the way,
[86:24]that reminds me Siri,
[86:25]make doctor appointment for Dick trickle.
[86:27]Oh God.
[86:30]Listen to me.
[86:31]We're almost five years.
[86:32]Isn't this your first Dick trickle joke?
[86:34]Congratulations.
[86:35]I know.
[86:35]You waited this long.
[86:36]Yeah.
[86:37]Well,
[86:38]I don't have to edit out some Dick stuff later.
[86:40]Okay.
[86:42]Have that ripped away from me now.
[86:44]Or is this a rolling?
[86:48]Okay.
[86:50]This should not be this high on the list.
[86:52]Way back.
[86:54]It is a kind of sounds like James.
[86:56]Holy year.
[86:58]The Dow.
[86:58]That would be lower.
[87:02]We're on the list.
[87:03]A higher number.
[87:04]Okay.
[87:04]In this case,
[87:05]just like Amelia's cousin,
[87:07]of course,
[87:08]Dale number 99.
[87:09]Oh,
[87:10]he was the number eight.
[87:11]I forgot about that.
[87:12]A car number eight car famously.
[87:14]Now
[87:15]you'd think people are ever confused by dealer and art.
[87:20]Wasn't he number three?
[87:21]Was he number eight?
[87:22]Oh shit.
[87:24]He was the three car.
[87:25]Then this joke's not going to make any sense.
[87:26]I thought I already started.
[87:28]Our junior was eight.
[87:29]Earned her junior.
[87:31]I'm looking it up.
[87:32]Hey,
[87:32]that's is that a phone ringing?
[87:34]No.
[87:35]What do you mean?
[87:37]You did it with princess die.
[87:39]There's no phone.
[87:40]I'm not going to do it with the old number three car.
[87:43]I'm not going to do it.
[87:44]Yeah.
[87:44]Here's the number three car.
[87:45]Guys.
[87:47]If you think I'm tempted,
[87:48]what's Earnhardt junior.
[87:49]You think I'm tempted to put Aaron?
[87:51]Her juniors got sued by Lamar Jackson over the use of number eight.
[87:54]What?
[87:54]Read it.
[87:56]Pull it up.
[87:56]That's crazy.
[87:57]They have a lawsuit over the stylized use of number eight.
[88:01]Yes.
[88:02]But earn our juniors been eight first,
[88:05]right?
[88:05]I should have copyrighted that shit.
[88:08]I guess he didn't get to it quick enough.
[88:09]Guess who they're suing now.
[88:11]Me for what I did to my dinner last night,
[88:14]ate that shit.
[88:17]By the way,
[88:19]do you think they were ever confused when they said Dale juniors in the eight
[88:22]car?
[88:22]And they're like,
[88:23]what you couldn't possibly do that.
[88:25]It's made out of metal.
[88:25]Now,
[88:27]if you think I want to have Dale Earnhardt call in with NASCAR sound effects
[88:30]in the background and he has a big Southern,
[88:32]the accent,
[88:33]he'd probably says it really funny stuff.
[88:34]Okay.
[88:35]Like his favorite album would be pink Floyd's the wall.
[88:37]We're not doing that.
[88:38]Oh,
[88:39]what about on the Patriot episode next week?
[88:41]Oh,
[88:42]that's so good.
[88:42]Okay.
[88:44]Oh my God.
[88:45]And I also got to tell you,
[88:47]talk to you guys about bill Belichick's girlfriend.
[88:48]I don't know when we're going to do it.
[88:49]We got to talk about it.
[88:50]Let's do it now.
[88:51]You got to talk about it.
[88:52]It's crazy.
[88:53]Listen,
[88:54]I'm bailing out guys.
[88:55]Here's the thing.
[88:55]What do we think?
[88:56]Rolling?
[88:56]Well-toned rolling bone or rolling?
[88:58]Yeah.
[89:00]Aaron,
[89:01]what do you think?
[89:01]Black album,
[89:02]Metallica,
[89:02]sorry.
[89:03]I was down the Dale Earnhardt rabbit hole for a minute.
[89:05]Uh,
[89:06]he won the race that he died in.
[89:08]Cause he was the owner of the car that won.
[89:10]So he's like his Wikipedia entry says he won.
[89:13]That feels like some Metallica stuff.
[89:15]I'm not going to do it.
[89:15]Um,
[89:16]I don't know,
[89:18]man,
[89:18]I was coming.
[89:19]I was ready to come into this,
[89:20]like fully like this is rolling bone.
[89:22]This should be way higher.
[89:24]And I think it's rolling bone.
[89:25]I think we're way down in the two fifth,
[89:27]two thirties.
[89:28]Uh,
[89:28]this is like really fun music.
[89:30]I,
[89:31]I don't know the other,
[89:32]like,
[89:32]I,
[89:32]I honestly don't know if I like it better than blood sugar,
[89:35]sex magic.
[89:35]So I,
[89:36]I'm going to call it rolling boned and,
[89:38]and stop yapping at you guys.
[89:40]Cause you guys will have better thoughts than me.
[89:41]And what do you think?
[89:43]Rolling?
[89:43]Well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown?
[89:44]I think rolling bone.
[89:46]I think this album is better than blood sugar,
[89:50]sex magic.
[89:50]I don't know if I like it better,
[89:51]but I think the album is better.
[89:53]If that makes sense.
[89:54]So I,
[89:55]if we're just looking at those four that we said,
[89:57]we're all part of that group of seven that was made within 40 or
[90:00]released within 41 days of each other.
[90:02]I think this should certainly be ahead of that.
[90:05]So one 86 at a minimum.
[90:07]So I think it's rolling bone.
[90:09]I think it's should be a lot higher in the list with the,
[90:11]which means it has a lower number.
[90:13]Russell.
[90:13]Okay.
[90:14]A wolf and man is what I'm thinking.
[90:17]Seeing a little bit of that chest hair.
[90:18]What do you think of this album?
[90:19]Metallica by Metallica.
[90:20]I almost went sideways and,
[90:26]and said it was too high.
[90:27]Wow.
[90:28]What caught me off guard is when you go in,
[90:30]you start listening to a lot of metallic and you listen to the
[90:32]early stuff.
[90:33]It is so much faster.
[90:34]It just feels like straight fire.
[90:36]And this is kind of slow,
[90:38]heavy and plotting,
[90:39]but there,
[90:41]there are commercial hits all over this.
[90:43]I love this album.
[90:43]If I were to,
[90:45]if I had ever had to get my albums down to like 20 of them,
[90:48]if we had to do a tournament,
[90:49]this,
[90:49]this is staying in the collection,
[90:51]no matter what overall 8.67 out of 10 on my scale.
[90:55]This is rolling the rust scale,
[90:57]rolling bone.
[90:57]It's got,
[90:58]it's got to be higher on the list.
[90:59]It's called,
[90:59]it's,
[91:00]it's known as the black album.
[91:02]It's,
[91:02]it's so cool.
[91:03]Like if you say,
[91:03]Oh,
[91:04]do you have the black album?
[91:05]Everyone knows exactly what that is.
[91:07]Right.
[91:07]And I would bet for our age,
[91:09]our demographic of dudes,
[91:11]everyone knows five or six of these songs.
[91:15]They come on at the gym.
[91:16]They come on,
[91:17]you hear it somewhere,
[91:17]you know,
[91:18]exactly what band that is.
[91:19]This is,
[91:20]this is rolling bone.
[91:21]It's got to be higher on the list.
[91:22]Unfortunately,
[91:23]you guys are incorrect.
[91:24]Shit.
[91:25]This gets a rolling.
[91:27]I mean,
[91:28]there's no other singer.
[91:32]I can get away with just,
[91:33]he's basically a bass drum in the band.
[91:36]It's true.
[91:37]Okay.
[91:37]I mean,
[91:38]don't call me a McCoy.
[91:39]Cause this is one headfield.
[91:40]I love.
[91:41]How come we,
[91:42]we didn't even get one Lars.
[91:44]We didn't even get one Lars impression,
[91:45]Rob.
[91:46]I like the pair of the drums on this song.
[91:49]I was thinking about something really heavy.
[91:51]And then we made something really heavy.
[91:53]I mean,
[91:58]every time Lars is interviewed,
[92:00]you're just like,
[92:00]I cannot like Metallica.
[92:02]It's like when they would interview kiss.
[92:03]So unlikable,
[92:04]right?
[92:04]Oh,
[92:05]these guys are just,
[92:06]it's like when they'd interview kiss and you're like,
[92:07]Oh,
[92:08]this is disgusting.
[92:09]I don't ever want to hear these guys talk again.
[92:11]Oh,
[92:11]it's just terrible.
[92:13]Listen,
[92:13]we love the album.
[92:15]We think it's great.
[92:16]Next up.
[92:16]It's shark week.
[92:19]So we've got deaf punks.
[92:21]Discovery.
[92:23]Like discovery channel.
[92:28]Is that the joke?
[92:29]That's not the discovery I made as a teen.
[92:31]I'll tell you that.
[92:32]The dead body down by the railroad tracks.
[92:35]Never seen that movie either,
[92:41]by the way,
[92:41]but you're just never seen it.
[92:43]That's probably like a top 10 ones.
[92:46]I've seen.
[92:46]We,
[92:47]we had a VHS back.
[92:50]I've got the perfect podcast for you,
[92:55]Jack.
[92:56]Rob.
[92:57]I was,
[92:57]I was looking through my,
[92:58]uh,
[92:58]the family cookbook here and I forgot to leave you guys the last
[93:02]room.
[93:02]Rule of baking.
[93:03]It says too much baking powder brings all kinds of,
[93:06]whoa,
[93:07]bad or running over the edges of the pan cake falling in the center,
[93:11]cracked gummy,
[93:12]tough crust,
[93:13]coarse,
[93:13]crumbly texture.
[93:14]Wow.
[93:15]And too little livening may cause undersized products,
[93:19]peaked,
[93:20]dull crust,
[93:21]heaviness and leathery streaks.
[93:23]What the hell are leathery streaks and baking?
[93:26]You know what?
[93:27]It's time.
[93:28]I've had to throw away some underwear that has a leathery streaks in them.
[93:31]Oh,
[93:32]I'll tell you right now.
[93:34]Between that and undersized products.
[93:36]I figured this book was right up your alley,
[93:38]man.
[93:38]I don't need that at all.
[93:39]I'm going to avoid that for sure.
[93:40]Yes.
[93:41]And now I'm going to remember a joke from earlier in the podcast.
[93:44]I don't know if we had any jokes in this one.
[93:48]Your Dale Earnhardt opportunity is waiting.
[93:51]Hey,
[93:53]can you guys just remind me later?
[93:54]I got a question.
[93:56]I got to ask you guys.
[93:56]Very good.
[93:59]Very good.
[94:01]Thank you.
