[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.
