Daft Punk: Discovery (2001)

[00:00]so before i introduce our very special guest i have to tell you that uh i made everything for

[00:06]the show i made a week ago uh because i wasn't sure if we were doing a double so all of this i

[00:11]didn't look at my notes i didn't look at my jokes i didn't look at anything so all of this will just

[00:15]be a surprising to me there's no conclave jokes in here that's that's next week i actually have

[00:22]a good one for next week yeah uh so i to me hey conclaves what about proclaves let's think about

[00:29]some good parts of conclaves uh i'm up with conclaves are you down with conclaves to me i'm

[00:36]making a t-chart on one side i'm putting proclaves on the other side i'm putting conclaves listen

[00:42]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums is decided by

[00:47]release of magazine do you think those conclave guys who released that movie were like oh god we

[00:51]were close we were so close to just timing i'm gonna go back and i guarantee i guarantee you

[00:58]yeah i guarantee you as part of it well this is like deep conspiracy conspiracy theory you think

[01:02]you know people it was illuminati yeah but there was like a you know probably there's probably some

[01:11]jimmy what's jimmy carter documentary came out like 16 months before he died yeah right like

[01:16]well the dude's 99 he's gonna die it was illuminati like yeah i better i'll rush this episode out

[01:21]don't worry but don't worry aaron i'm fine in 2024 friends decided to listen to every one of the

[01:27]greatest 500 albums is decided by release of magazine do you think those conclaves are going to be

[01:27]just 500 albums decided by rolling stone magazine you think our listeners would be uh like some of

[01:32]them get upset like john from edina is one of those guys who sometimes will get upset if the pot isn't

[01:36]up on tuesday morning yeah there's a handful of those other people i notice those people are

[01:40]dwindling and dwindling we're down to like three of them but do you think like your untimely demise

[01:45]rob would be an acceptable excuse for it not to go up on time like would they give matt like a three

[01:50]day buffer to figure out how podbean works or not no i'm gonna leave behind in my will uh detailed

[01:56]instructions of how to post that last episode to my wife i'm gonna be like okay

[01:59]go to the folder that says podcast do not go in the folder that says nothing here in it

[02:07]do not click on that folder

[02:09]boring files folder inside i have a nothing here folder with boring files inside that folder

[02:18]that's actually you want to guess if that's closer to the truth of what i did at home when i was in

[02:24]high school or not

[02:26]speaking of what you do at sex.jpg i wonder what that's on is on this picture the other day rob

[02:32]sent a picture to the the text chain um it involved his wife but i won't go into any more

[02:37]detail my wife and this i was uh on my phone the other day and the upstairs roommate was sitting

[02:43]next to me and i clicked on something oh the upstairs roommate saw what this thing that you

[02:48]let me let me let me be clear about what this was this was the picture i don't think you should tell

[02:54]anyone this i think this is a bad look this

[02:56]just to let you know i sent this to three separate text chains

[03:01]i found the picture that when my wife calls my phone

[03:07]and so i sent it out and i said hey let's all share what pictures we have when our spouses

[03:14]call our phones because i thought it would be a fun bit so russell you clicked on the

[03:17]busty picture of my wife it came up and someone someone um saw this and was um i would say

[03:24]horrified would be the mild word for it

[03:26]said pictures like that yeah of their significant others and i said no typically not but so that

[03:36]where it gets even more awkward is um some the upstairs roommate and i were out with um let's

[03:41]just call them uh people you may be familiar with tonight oh and the upstairs roommate started to

[03:47]tell the story about this is what you do with these pictures and i had to i had to kick the

[03:54]upstairs roommate in the shit under the table and i had to kick the upstairs roommate in the shit

[03:56]under the table there you go thank you russell and essentially just cut off the conversation

[04:00]because these people that you're familiar with do not need to know this did she say why are you

[04:06]kicking me why did you kick me at one point it became very obvious that i was um just protecting

[04:12]rob's image or what's left of it for these people that he is uh familiar with and you're like you're

[04:17]like you're like don't show that picture and you scroll back to that picture of my wife's feet that

[04:20]i sent like three weeks ago you're like oh no not that picture either that's so good it's less a

[04:25]busty photo than just a straight up picture of her bust is all i mean it's not really even like

[04:30]i wouldn't call it a busty photo listen i the rule of thirds aaron you know what am i supposed

[04:35]to do like i put him in the middle third they took up the bottom third i don't know what to tell you

[04:39]russell can we just hypothetical like if we just go to the hypothetical corner yeah you know what

[04:46]if these these people i don't know who they are i have no idea who you're talking but

[04:51]what would they think would be the worst picture of

[04:55]rob sending a picture of the bust i'm using air quotes the third to third to third or the feet

[05:00]which one would they think is worse i gotta watch this is a great question this is a great question

[05:05]matt i also what do you like more my wife's bust or my wife's feet i think rob sending the bus

[05:11]picture um for some could be considered uh offensive uh all right let's let's go to k rob

[05:21]let's turn on the radio and see what's going on uh-oh

[05:25]now my mouse isn't working why is my mouse not working

[05:27]yes this is an all-time bad start john you have a mouse that works because because if you do we

[05:34]have a we have an opening for lead podcast host yeah need a main host with a functioning mouse

[05:38]that's all it takes now can i just say this look at how apple now i know it's an old bit but look

[05:43]how apple makes me charge my mouse look at this it literally is in the bottom of the mouse i cannot

[05:48]use the mouse while it's charging okay so i need to make a choice do we sit here and wait for this

[05:54]to charge

[05:55]nor do we continue and i don't play as many sound effects i think we'll wait for it to charge

[06:00]thank you very much okay i've got some really important stuff on there is there you don't

[06:06]have another way to move your cursor wow i hate to even show this to you i do have a second i do

[06:13]have a second mouse that i bought one time because i thought the first mouse broke rob check this out

[06:19]i am also a two mouse guy two mouses two mice look at this

[06:25]there's like a pad on the on the laptop you can just scroll around on that right that's what i'm

[06:31]saying like there's other ways to move here again i am not on a laptop okay do you want me to send

[06:37]you guys a picture of what i'm on right now yeah i'm on a huge what are you wearing well

[07:36]what that's the thing about the radio i keep saying play but let's just turn it on and see

[07:44]in tokyo you know and there's been some more no i can't can't have good i don't even know where to

[07:51]start with that's rob's other picture when jenny calls it was the tune in tokyo it was the way he

[07:58]said it there's just something where i was like i don't feel something there listen into the mickey

[08:04]rooney listen some people's wives are sleeping so when we talk about tuning in tokyo listen

[08:10]doing it in tokyo itself going like this of course women love that they love that kind of how would

[08:15]you describe this erin i'm kind of moving my hands in a corkscrew motion with your hands as though

[08:19]you're fondling someone i'm moving

[08:21]away don't say you're turning the hot water and the cold water exactly that's exactly how i'm doing

[08:26]that's the number one way i think that women love to be shown that they're appreciated you know what

[08:32]i mean and that they're they're an important part hey guys mother's day listen i hate to say this

[08:36]mother's day is coming up okay warm up those wrists get them how far can you go how far can

[08:42]you get that thumb from but it was like you were turning the hot water off but the cold water on

[08:46]yeah okay or the hot water on and the cold water you were and it

[08:51]weren't there was no like they're going toward each other yeah those of you in a gay relationship

[08:55]and and don't have any tune in tokyo's to celebrate for mother's day my shower is just the one knob

[09:00]that comes out and you turn it left or right so you can practice doing that you know i mean it's

[09:03]the one lever with the h and the c all right let's turn on the radio in 2020 four friends decided to

[09:13]listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by rolling stone magazine this resulted

[09:19]in a text chain that celebrated the mother's day and it was a great experience and it was a great

[09:21]experience and it was a great experience and it was a great experience and it was a great experience

[09:21]music excoriated the order and led to us making this podcast we are far from experts and we

[09:27]promised to do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back

[09:32]and enjoy beck did it better we are up to album 235 it is the 2001 daft punk album discovery daft

[09:40]punk it was correct they saw the future even back in 1997 when rob was in high school being a cool

[09:46]guy and aaron was in high school being a real fucking loser daft punk knew we were going to

[09:50]be dependent on technology and now the computers have taken over computers are now the host of this

[09:56]podcast in fact computers are so much in charge that i need to watch humans to jack it what a

[10:02]crazy robber world let's turn on krob it is my favorite radio station i am a loser computer that

[10:08]still listens to the radio lots of mean stuff there if you want to hear about the greatest albums

[10:16]of all time

[10:17]but you're just

[10:20]welcome to back did it better okay we've got a robot episode i think we're going to be hearing

[10:41]that again maybe in about two episodes uh we've got a robot episode coming up we are all the way

[10:46]up to album 236 and we are talking about discovery

[10:50]by daft punk i've got three guys here who who thought this album was named after

[10:55]their time at camp drafty bunk i thought it was the discovery part

[11:02]i didn't think that was a joke yeah

[11:07]i discovered i make quite a bit of noise when i'm jagging it

[11:12]i've got man minneapolis man how are you doing uh good rob don't stop the dancing don't stop the

[11:20]dancing i've got aaron in california aaron how are you doing i hope we can make this harder better

[11:25]faster longer oh wow i've got you to be honest we've gotten through almost all the lyrics of

[11:31]this album i've gotten uh john and edina john how are you doing i'm doing great

[11:37]what a cool job what a cool you have two new messages

[11:43]that's from friends uh very good so john of course is a special guest today he's hanging

[11:49]around for the for next week's episode i think so he's forced to do the daft punk episode for a

[11:53]whole week he's living in rob's basement for a week i've been rose's garage the problem is i

[12:01]live in the alamo he's living in rob's third bathroom there's no basement in the alamo and

[12:07]i realized i screwed up the order already so we're gonna do aaron again i'm gonna edit this

[12:10]part out i've got russell in minneapolis russell how are you doing rob the time is right to put

[12:14]my arms around you if you're feeling right you can wrap your arms around me too wow russell you know

[12:19]what i saw that lyric though and i was thinking rob and i might be the only two the combination

[12:24]on the podcast where we wouldn't be able to wrap our arms around each other

[12:27]like i don't think i don't think my fingers would touch around your torso yeah everybody gets it

[12:34]everybody gets what you're saying you don't have to go into further details about what you're doing

[12:39]you think if matt and aaron had full straight on hug yeah they could touch each other's fingers

[12:45]well see my arm's a little short but i think the problem is russell is that matt

[12:49]aaron are also the ones that are known to have the huge hogs on the podcast so i feel like that

[12:54]would be that would get in the way i could tell you for i could tell you for sure rob i've never

[13:00]been accused of having a huge hog that's exactly what a guy with a huge hog would say oh my god

[13:06]i also have not been accused of having a huge hog except by rob who's not seen my hog well you

[13:12]compare it to a kitchen knife aaron it's the biggest knife uh if you know the size of matt's

[13:16]hog can you please call in leave a voicemail let us know if you have any questions or if you have

[13:19]no man's talk i can i can visualize john's hog from all of his that he's done in his past back

[13:29]in college yeah the wristwatch specifically john can wrap his you know i was when i was younger

[13:35]growing up i always wondered why are old men comfortable being nude in the shower like to me

[13:40]i was always like that's terrifying to me i would never want to do that and as soon as i went

[13:44]through college i was like being naked in the shower the other guys is one of the it's literally

[13:49]a highlight of my life like if i sit down and do like the 10 highlights of my life be naked with

[13:53]guys in college in the locker room is a is one of those question for you i have this on my list i

[14:00]got this very extensive list but is it okay at the gym if you're an old guy to take the hair dryer

[14:06]and dry off your balls after you get out of the shower there's this one guy that does it all the

[14:13]fucking time i just want to be like stop how old you're blowing your ball here all over we have

[14:19]all this on the podcast how wet are your balls really heavily doesn't the towel just work for

[14:22]them now if you are a real pro you go to the gym where the hand dryer is down low you turn that bad

[14:29]boy up point up next thing you know you're playing parachute you're holding that thing over it's

[14:34]flopping all over the place and you are dry i mean guys just imagine this right now first of all

[14:39]we talk about something almost never happens totally dry balls you guys know what i'm talking

[14:43]about my balls are so wet all the time i don't know why all right so i'm gonna look at says i

[14:49]position about that i think i'll be okay now listen i got aaron out in california now hold on

[14:53]hold on real quick yes just because i have to say it yeah the way to if you really want to dry your

[14:59]balls and somebody can maybe back this up just put on a cowboy hat and nothing else and get on

[15:05]a scooter and just drive down the hills at at uh st olaf and your balls will be dry wow right does

[15:12]anybody have any experience with that on this dry like the desert but you're missing one key element

[15:17]you do need a little bit of a shielder

[15:19]or a helmet you put a dixie solo cup over that was only when you were walking into the it was

[15:24]father-daughter day it was when you're walking into the father-daughter dorms at that time you

[15:28]had to cover up a little bit gotta protect the innocent now john i happen to know that you

[15:33]recently just brought your daughter to a college at any point did it strike you that if you saw a

[15:37]male with his junk in a dixie cup walking towards you that you would realize like it would be like

[15:43]a full circle like you would obviously it's your looper coming back to kill you would you give my

[15:47]head would you give a high five yeah i would have been like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god

[15:49]i would have i would have stopped him and said uh you're 25 years too late buddy already done

[15:54]that you unoriginal piece of shit i've already done that yeah john's like john's like let me

[16:01]join you then quickly finds out that he's arrested it's totally different when you're 47 years old

[16:06]who's 47 on this call i've got aaron out in california wait did i get in this time machine

[16:13]oh god i said it so wrong i didn't go back far enough i'm not hot you see me come start my

[16:19]shoulders here's the deal i've got aaron out in california now aaron aaron has a friend who got a

[16:25]nose job and now that friend looks like michael jackson yeah this friend went from from uh his

[16:31]pronouns were he he him and now the pronouns are he he

[16:35]rob last night i had a dream about you let's talk about daft punk wow uh all right let's get right

[16:47]into our voice

[16:49]i literally have so many voicemails now and i've put them all on this page and i don't know which is

[17:01]so let's just click one and see what comes up can you pass along to matt that i really appreciated

[17:05]his recommendation of flip side as a former aspiring audio engineer that had to forego his

[17:12]dreams to put food on the table i really related to the director's struggles with feeling that he

[17:17]had sold out

[17:19]it gave me a lot to consider as it's a decision that i struggled with for many years

[17:24]all right so i so that is from magic mike okay that's awesome wow god i miss that guy i gotta

[17:31]i gotta get instagram back just so i can figure out what's going on in magic mike 69's life yeah

[17:37]well you should come out to reno with me man we're gonna have lunch i'm gonna send pictures i'll post

[17:41]some pictures to the uh to the to the instagram so he had to not be an audio engineer which by the

[21:09]And then it really doesn't work if your wife doesn't want you to have, you know, kind of a deal.

[21:13]But so, Sarah, we had to have a very long talk about it.

[21:16]Yeah, we call those people dream killers.

[21:18]Dream killers.

[21:19]Freddy Krueger in the third one.

[21:21]But like, there was like a five, I will say for, and we've talked about this, Sarah,

[21:26]there was probably a five minute period where I was like, numb.

[21:30]Like, it was just like, my dreams are over kind of a thing.

[21:35]And then you come back to life and you're like, well, shit.

[21:38]That'd be a pretty shitty life to live kind of a deal.

[21:40]You know, if you had got a family and stuff like that.

[21:42]And now I make like way more money than I ever thought I'd make kind of a deal.

[21:46]That's not to be bragging.

[21:47]It's to be like, you don't know what's going on.

[21:49]You don't know what's on the other side, right?

[21:51]Like sometimes you don't know, you know, things just hit you in the face.

[21:56]And then it takes you a while to realize like that was absolutely the right decision for what's going on in life kind of a deal.

[22:02]I also like the anecdote that Matt was numb for five minutes.

[22:05]Like it took Matt.

[22:06]Matt was like destroyed for five.

[22:08]Five minutes.

[22:08]He's like, five minutes is all I need.

[22:09]Shouldn't sit on that hand for so long.

[22:11]I would, if I was a professional college baseball coach, I would be getting lip cancer so fast because the first thing I would be doing is just chewing like crazy.

[22:23]I would be chewing all the time.

[22:26]It's all I would do.

[22:27]Matt, were you, were you chewing when you were a baseball coach?

[22:30]No, I saw a guy chew.

[22:31]And when I was in seventh grade, I saw an eighth grader chew.

[22:35]And he threw up 13 seconds after putting in.

[22:38]And I, I never, I've never chewed ever in my life.

[22:42]How about Sonny's?

[22:43]Because I'm having trouble with my Sonny's habit.

[22:44]I always eat too many Sonny's.

[22:46]Do you ever break yourself with a Sonny's habit?

[22:48]What's a Sonny?

[22:49]What's a Sonny?

[22:50]Sunflower seed.

[22:51]Guys, come on.

[22:52]Sonny's Christ.

[22:53]They're not, they don't know ball.

[22:55]I don't know.

[22:55]Aaron does use, they're called seeds.

[22:57]Aaron uses terms like this a lot.

[22:59]He calls a sandwich a sandow.

[23:02]I've never heard that.

[23:03]Aaron's got a few of these words.

[23:06]He kind of just got to go with the flow.

[23:08]The answer, Aaron, is yes.

[23:09]I've gotten to the point where it's like,

[23:11]I physically can't put another salted sunflower seed in my mouth

[23:16]or I'm just going to, a hole is going to burst out of my cheek.

[23:19]So, man, and I have got, I did get good at, you know,

[23:24]like breaking the seed and not spitting out the shell,

[23:26]but storing it in the other cheek, squirreling it, if you will,

[23:29]kind of a deal.

[23:30]And so, like, I mean, like, I, yeah, I love sunflower seeds.

[23:34]Me too.

[23:34]I love them.

[23:35]Dill pickle.

[23:35]Dill pickle sunflower seeds.

[23:36]The best.

[23:37]Yeah.

[23:37]Matt?

[23:38]So, like, there are people like, let's say they want to be pro athletes

[23:41]or something.

[23:41]Someone wants to be an NBA player.

[23:43]At some point you realize it like physically will not happen.

[23:46]But in theory, as a coach, you could like have stuck with it

[23:50]and made it like, where do you think the peak would have been for you?

[23:52]Could you have been a head college coach?

[23:54]Could you have made it to like the minor leagues?

[23:56]Or where would have been like the pinnacle for you?

[23:59]Head college coach somewhere.

[24:00]Like, and, you know, there's a couple of college coaches

[24:04]that listen to this podcast, you know,

[24:07]so I don't know.

[24:07]I don't want to be like, oh, but like, for sure.

[24:11]Like, there's a guy from Edina who's a couple of years older than me

[24:14]who is now the head baseball coach at Kansas, right?

[24:17]Like, he went from St. Thomas.

[24:20]Wonder if he knows Mario Chalmers.

[24:22]He went to Dallas Baptist, to LSU, and now he's the head coach at Kansas.

[24:28]Like, that, but like, all moving all the time and just a horrible 200 days

[24:34]on the road a year recruiting and all that stuff.

[24:36]Yeah.

[24:37]But now he makes $500,000 a year coaching at Kansas kind of a deal.

[24:41]Like, that would be awesome, but it's a different lifestyle.

[24:45]I tell the middle school kids in my school

[24:48]I put on baseball uniforms before their games,

[24:50]and I always tell them, listen, guys, just hit bombs.

[24:53]I don't know what your coaches are telling you.

[24:55]Don't listen to them.

[24:56]Hit bombs.

[24:57]And then in my seventh grade class,

[24:59]I also showed a compilation of Korean bat flips.

[25:01]I was like, you guys should be doing this stuff.

[25:03]By giving up on a dream.

[25:05]Go ahead, Matt.

[25:07]I was going to say, but you figure it out, right?

[25:09]Like, all these people that hit the one in a million, like, entrepreneurial,

[25:14]selling their business, things like that.

[25:17]Like, there's 10,000 people on the backside who failed and, you know,

[25:21]lost a million bucks doing things, things like that.

[25:24]Like, it's kind of like social media.

[25:25]All you see or all you hear about is the good stuff.

[25:28]You never hear about the bad stuff, but everybody goes through it at some point, right?

[25:31]Like, you know, your football career is over, your baseball, your violin career is over,

[25:36]your, I don't know, you're not going to be a NASCAR driver.

[25:39]I don't, there's a hundred different things you could talk about.

[25:42]The school you work at finds out about your podcast.

[25:44]That's Matt's dream.

[25:49]Matt's dream is that the school rep works at finds out about Rob's podcast.

[25:52]Yes, it is.

[25:52]Me too.

[25:53]There is a, you know, but so then people always say, you know, people always say,

[25:57]and I try to tell people this, so maybe you're the people at St. Olaf that are still listening,

[26:03]Rob's cousins or, you know, the whole thing is, you know,

[26:05]do a job.

[26:06]Do a job you love and you never work a day in your life kind of a thing.

[26:08]And I always tell everybody, like, if that was the case, I'm sure we talked about the

[26:11]sport, you know, I'd be the bullpen catcher for the Minnesota twins, right?

[26:13]That'd be great.

[26:15]That's what I would do, but not realistic.

[26:17]So then if that's not realistic, find the job that fits your personality and your skill

[26:22]set.

[26:22]And I've got a job right now that fits my personality and my skill set, talking, talking

[26:27]to people and crunching numbers.

[26:29]It's like, perfect.

[26:30]And I get paid to do it.

[26:32]And so it's super easy for me, all things considered.

[26:35]And do I love it?

[26:36]Do I love doing it?

[26:36]It's not like I love doing what I'm doing, but I like what I get paid to do it, if that

[26:43]makes sense, kind of a deal.

[26:44]So like, do what, do what your, what your skill set is.

[26:47]That's what you should be going for.

[26:48]Not going for doing the job that you love kind of a thing.

[26:52]That's my opinion.

[26:53]What about you guys?

[26:53]When were your dreams crushed?

[26:54]I'm at the opposite.

[26:57]Matt says the number one problem is wives.

[27:01]What do you think, Aaron?

[27:02]Matt, so I'm at the opposite.

[27:04]Can you guys hear me?

[27:06]I was trying to get that joke in.

[27:08]You know, he doesn't, he doesn't, he just get it.

[27:12]Okay.

[27:12]Can I just be clear?

[27:13]There is a delay between Aaron and I, we are so far.

[27:16]You guys don't get it.

[27:16]Cause you're right in the middle of the country, but we are so far apart.

[27:20]So sometimes it sounds like maybe I heard a joke and then my brain for some reason is

[27:25]slow processing things right now.

[27:26]And then I thought of the saying the joke and then I said it right when Aaron started

[27:30]talking and he kind of stopped and then I kind of stopped.

[27:33]But then I was like, fuck that.

[27:34]And I kept going.

[27:34]But that's not what happened.

[27:36]There is a delay.

[27:37]Yeah, I'm different because Matt, Matt knows he could have made his goals and then had

[27:43]to make different choices due to lifestyle.

[27:44]I had a moment where I was like, oh, I can't do this.

[27:47]Like I, I tried to be a singer.

[27:49]You guys know that I studied a classical voice and Russell, you're always very complimentary

[27:54]and supportive of my endeavors.

[27:56]I appreciate that about you.

[27:57]I remember going to get a master's at the university of Minnesota and the last semester

[28:02]that I was there, we can't, we did a show street scene and I was in the show.

[28:06]And I didn't get any of the like better roles in the show.

[28:10]So I spent a lot of time watching the show because I had a very small, small role and

[28:15]the show fucking sucked.

[28:16]And I was like, if this show is so bad and this production is so bad and I cannot get

[28:22]a good role in this production, I got to hang it up.

[28:24]Like, this is it.

[28:25]I'm not going any further than this.

[28:27]If this is where I'm at at the university of Minnesota.

[28:29]So it's like a bad restaurant.

[28:31]It's only bad roles.

[28:32]Yeah.

[28:33]I had to hang it up, Matt.

[28:36]It's another, it's another, and I tell my kids this every single day, like, uh, self

[28:42]awareness is a life skill that not a lot of people have.

[28:44]Right.

[28:44]And you've got, you have to have a little bit of self.

[28:47]The world is telling you something, right?

[28:49]The world is telling you that, Hey, this is not going to work out kind of a deal.

[28:54]I mean, there's people that push through that.

[28:56]There's people that push through that and they do just fine.

[28:59]And there's also people who can't ever get off the Schneid and just figure out they got

[29:03]to pivot and stuff like that.

[29:04]And it's not.

[29:06]It's not saying it's white, right or wrong, but let, but self-awareness is a life skill.

[29:09]I got a wife out of it.

[29:10]That was good.

[29:11]And then I had to pick.

[29:12]Yeah, there you go.

[29:13]These people who aren't self-aware make me fucking sick.

[29:16]You should know how everybody views you and have an accurate representation of that in

[29:23]your mind.

[29:23]It makes your life a lot better.

[29:24]Like me, Russell, when were your dreams crushed?

[29:28]And don't say that you wanted to be that with Menard's lawyer.

[29:36]Like that is wow.

[29:37]That was definitely a dream crushing moment from a professional perspective.

[29:42]I'm going to go a little different route than you guys.

[29:43]So I just had my dreams crushed about two days ago.

[29:46]She said no days ago.

[29:50]She said, no, she said, yes, yeah, sorry.

[29:56]I will say that we'll just keep this between us.

[29:58]Rob, we'll have to cut all this out.

[30:00]We did go to the Berlin Jazz Club the other day.

[30:02]We went early before it got busy and there were just single.

[30:06]Women sitting everywhere at this bar.

[30:07]And I did kind of mention, I was like, Hey, I'm living in a cool part of town right now.

[30:11]If this doesn't work out, I love it.

[30:16]Why do you got to cut that?

[30:17]Why do you got to cut that?

[30:18]I'm just kidding.

[30:18]You know what I mean?

[30:19]Like, why do dogs have a leash and a collar when you can't yank on it every once in a

[30:23]while?

[30:23]Show them who's boss.

[30:24]You know what I mean?

[30:25]That's so good, Russell.

[30:27]It's good.

[30:27]It's good for her to know that you have options.

[30:29]The dream that died the other day.

[30:30]You guys know I've been telling you I've started kind of pulling out my old baseball cards that

[30:35]I kept.

[30:36]Remember, I threw a ton of them away when I moved a few years ago, but I kept a couple

[30:40]boxes.

[30:40]So I don't know.

[30:41]Probably got maybe a couple thousand or something in like two big boxes, right?

[30:45]Yeah.

[30:46]And I went through and the ones that I've always had, I had the Kevin Garnett rookie

[30:50]cards that have all been in like good cases since I got them in 1994, 95, whenever that

[30:56]was.

[30:56]And my nephews have gotten really into like card collecting.

[31:01]My nephew and my brother came down and they went to like the biggest card show in Minneapolis.

[31:06]And St.

[31:06]Paul the other other week.

[31:07]But so I'm kind of like saying, hey, maybe I can get into this with my nephews a little

[31:11]bit.

[31:11]So I sent in all 39 of my Kevin Garnett rookie cards to PSA to be graded.

[31:17]Matt, you've done this before with the Pokemon cards, right?

[31:20]Yep.

[31:20]And I was like, you know, it costs a little bit of money, but it's like it'll be maybe

[31:24]a fun thing.

[31:25]I'll open up the boxes when they come back with my nephews.

[31:27]We get to see what grades they got.

[31:29]I figured I could share with you guys my grades and you could see how my dream of being a

[31:34]collector is now dead.

[31:36]I love it.

[31:36]Russell, if you can't afford PSA, I would talk to Matt.

[31:39]OK, he seems to be doing.

[31:40]So I sent in 39 Kevin Garnett rookie cards.

[31:47]Most of them are different.

[31:48]There were a couple that had doubles or, you know, so on.

[31:50]But I was hoping to get a couple mint like PSA 10 cards, right?

[31:56]Yep.

[31:56]39 cards.

[31:58]I got zero PSA 10s.

[32:01]Zero 10s.

[32:02]Zero 10s.

[32:03]And they've all been in cases the whole time.

[32:05]But.

[32:05]If you don't have 10s, your life as a collector, like they're not worth anything.

[32:10]So like even the PSA 9s, the ones that are considered mint but are not a 10, they're

[32:15]worth like eight, 10 bucks.

[32:16]So like they are worth less than what I paid.

[32:19]What?

[32:19]To have them graded.

[32:20]Every card I have, I think, is worth less than the cost to grade it.

[32:24]What would be?

[32:25]Oh, that's.

[32:26]Oh, it's almost like that's a self-serving scam that they run.

[32:29]That's so strange.

[32:29]It's like the dentistry of collecting.

[32:35]Oh, perfect analogy.

[32:37]Perfect.

[32:38]We're actually in a good place right now, Russell, about that joke.

[32:41]That's a great point, Rob.

[32:42]I'm glad you brought that up.

[32:43]Good analogy.

[32:44]Thanks for that text.

[32:45]Russell, what would a Gavin Garnett PSA 10 get you?

[32:48]Depends on what type of card.

[32:50]If like the best card I had, like if you look it up, I think it's a, I don't know if it's

[32:55]finest or something like that.

[32:56]It would be like, you know, three, 400 bucks, a PSA 10 Garnett, but I have no PSA 10s.

[33:01]So I ended up with four nines, which are considered mint.

[33:05]So that's very close.

[33:06]15 eights, which are near mint.

[33:09]So that's pretty good.

[33:11]Three numbers, sevens, which are near mint six or 10 sixes, four fives.

[33:18]And I even had a couple of fours, which are considered very good.

[33:21]So that kind of, that was my dream killer moment of the last weekend where I thought

[33:26]maybe I could get into my cards again, send them in to get graded, maybe start dealing

[33:31]some stuff.

[33:31]And I'm like, no, even the best ones I have aren't good enough to, to get.

[33:35]Get your 10 bucks back.

[33:37]But you can, but I think a lot of people go through that with like in our age with the

[33:41]cards, right?

[33:42]Because they hear of their parents throwing away the Mickey Mantle rookie cards or putting

[33:46]in their, you know, so everybody's saved.

[33:48]But then all of a sudden it comes out now that like Donneris or whatever, you had the

[33:53]Griffey rookie and then all they did, they just kept printing them.

[33:56]So now that instead of having like, you know, like a limited number of Griffey rookies,

[34:00]there's like 17 million of them because they just printed them because they just wanted

[34:04]to keep selling them kind of a deal.

[34:05]So I got to get the upper deck.

[34:07]It's almost like the scam goes all the way up.

[34:09]You could do everything right, Russell.

[34:11]You can have it like perfect and it's no creed, nothing, but it could just be off of the center

[34:16]a little bit.

[34:16]And it's the card that's the problem, not you.

[34:18]So it's not your fault.

[34:20]It's not your fault.

[34:21]It's not your fault, Russell.

[34:22]It's not your fault.

[34:23]It's not your fault.

[34:24]It's not your fault.

[34:25]I'll ask you one thing about, it might be your fault.

[34:27]It's not your fault.

[34:28]It kind of turns me on.

[34:29]Keep it coming.

[34:30]I had this moment.

[34:33]So when my nephew came down to, I gave, you know, I picked, he picked out like a hundred

[34:37]out of like, Hey, take a bunch of these, pick the ones you like or whatever.

[34:40]But there were a few that I kept and my brother and him were explained to me.

[34:44]You just say that's PC personal collection.

[34:47]And if you ever tell a collector that's PC, they don't even try to get, they, they respect

[34:51]that that one stayed with you no matter what.

[34:54]But eventually we made a trade with my nephew and I traded because he had a Garnett rookie

[34:58]from my brother that I didn't have.

[35:00]I was like, Oh, I got to add that.

[35:01]So I traded him a Lawrence Taylor.

[35:03]Taylor rookie card.

[35:04]And now I realize that the Kevin Garnett card I got from him is like a PSA for, which means

[35:10]it's probably not worth the cardboard it was printed on.

[35:13]Russell, what would the Sopranos do if they found out they got ripped off in a trade by

[35:17]somebody?

[35:18]Okay.

[35:19]It's time to go after them and collect and their family listening to Aaron.

[35:24]Jesus Christ.

[35:25]That's himself.

[35:26]Aaron.

[35:26]If Russell had to go after his family, he's just at home hammering his balls in a drawer.

[35:33]What you get when you fuck with me, try to rip me off of the LT card.

[35:38]I don't think I'm athletic enough to do that, Rob.

[35:40]Russell, Russell, are you going to like, just like, there's some people that have some cool,

[35:46]there's some cool displays you can buy and stuff now.

[35:48]Like, have you, have you thought about just, I know you're like a, a list guy or, you know,

[35:52]finish the, have you thought about just getting like every Garnett card or anything like that?

[35:58]Or I think that's what I'm going to, I know there are a few out there that I don't have Matt.

[36:02]So I figured I can keep going.

[36:03]I'm going to keep going with like, this is the key to my collection.

[36:06]This is the part of the collection I focus on and everything else is out.

[36:09]No, I think that that's, that's a good goal.

[36:11]I had just had one tip before you start a very large.

[36:15]Yes.

[36:15]We know you have one tip.

[36:17]It's not that hot pink when you were talking about earlier.

[36:19]Is it so hot?

[36:21]Well, the, I, before you start the very large baseball display in your house, I would just

[36:27]do one thing.

[36:27]I have one piece of advice.

[36:28]Yeah.

[36:28]I would lock down my relationship first before you pull that.

[36:33]I would make sure everything is clear and you are good to go.

[36:36]Okay.

[36:37]That seems like a post marriage type thing where you're like, Hey, this is my big fucking

[36:40]wall baseball cards.

[36:41]It's like, okay, we've already established that Russell's got plenty of options where

[36:47]he lives.

[36:48]Plenty of options.

[36:49]We know the marriage is going to work because before she was like, I can't wait to get these

[36:52]PSA 10 rookies off his ass when we get a divorce and I'm out of here.

[36:56]And now she's like, Oh, what's the point of it?

[36:59]My net worth just got cut in half.

[37:01]Can I say this?

[37:02]You got halved.

[37:03]I'm hearing your guys's dreams get crushed stories.

[37:06]You didn't ask John.

[37:07]Hold on.

[37:07]I'm sorry, John.

[37:08]John's dream crushed.

[37:09]Yeah.

[37:09]You know, my, my dream forever, um, was to be moonlight Graham.

[37:13]I wanted to be a washed up baseball player that had a chance to get it and then retire

[37:18]and become a doctor in Chisholm, Minnesota.

[37:20]And the, the, the fact of the matter is, is I can't stand blood trauma or anything else.

[37:27]So that isn't going to be a path I can go down.

[37:29]So my dreams were crushed after I retired from baseball and realized,

[37:33]I can't, I can't knock hot dogs out of a choking girl's throat.

[37:37]Oh, wow.

[37:38]You actually, you, that's, you could do that.

[37:40]Like, yeah, actually that's, uh, I would do that.

[37:43]Hey, as soon as she falled off the, fell off the bleachers,

[37:46]I would have been freaking out and running around with like a chicken.

[37:49]My head cut off.

[37:49]Uh, listen, well, luckily, luckily it wasn't Russell.

[37:53]And I had the ballpark choking on a hot dog.

[37:54]You'd never be able to get your arms around us.

[37:56]You know what I mean?

[37:57]John, is there a moment like in college where you do the medical,

[38:03]like time for, did you go there expecting to be a doctor?

[38:05]Well, you know, like when you show up at St.

[38:08]Olaf, so I pronounced it right, Matt,

[38:10]just to make sure everyone else in the audience can know how to pronounce it.

[38:13]Um, everyone shows up pre-med and it's kind of funny when you look through the

[38:18]fresh freshman faces book.

[38:19]Yep.

[38:19]Everyone was pre-med and, uh, but that's when I came,

[38:23]I actually had some procedures myself and passed out during them.

[38:26]And I thought, well, as a patient, if I pass out,

[38:28]there's no way I can be in the lab coat on the other side.

[38:31]So yeah, it was actually,

[38:32]Russell, when I crossed the chalk line and jumped over it and I,

[38:38]and I, and I didn't have the doc doctor bag in my hand.

[38:41]I just, I just knew that econ was my route to go.

[38:44]Uh, I would say this.

[38:48]I think Russell's thing to test if we can get our arms around each other,

[38:52]it's just an excuse to get a hug.

[38:53]Somebody's really fixated on this.

[38:58]It's like when I tell my wife, I have ED.

[39:00]I'm like, I don't think it's ever getting hard.

[39:02]Again.

[39:03]There's nothing you can do.

[39:05]Lost cause.

[39:12]Why is there a hole in the bottom?

[39:13]Why is there a hole in the bottom of this genie lamp?

[39:15]Uh, rolling going, we'll start with, uh, Aaron rolling going.

[39:20]How's it going with you?

[39:21]It's going good.

[39:22]We shouldn't do too long of a really good.

[39:25]I bet my arms.

[39:27]I bet my arms could barely fit around you.

[39:29]I bet you could barely fit your arms around me.

[39:32]Try it out.

[39:33]I would hate it if we had to.

[39:34]Oh my God.

[39:35]This would be terrible.

[39:36]If you put your arms up like this, like up underneath you, but not like this.

[39:42]How do your lips, how big are your lips compared to my lips?

[39:45]I mean, it'd be crazy if you had like really big lips.

[39:47]My lips are small.

[39:48]I don't know.

[39:49]It's really going good.

[39:53]I, well, no, I, we had an incident in my house.

[39:56]No, Aaron.

[39:57]Oh, I had an incident.

[39:58]Um, so since we got married in a mailbox again,

[40:01]Aaron's done.

[40:02]Dog.

[40:02]Oh no.

[40:05]Oh no.

[40:06]A bunch of chocolate.

[40:08]Calvin's great.

[40:09]No, he's got no problems.

[40:10]We, in 2007, maybe in 2006, before we got married, we got, I got an REI account because

[40:20]REI is the greatest place to shop for shop for outdoor, uh, here.

[40:25]You guys know.

[40:26]Greatest store on the planet.

[40:27]It's the best store on the planet.

[40:28]Yeah.

[40:29]Right.

[40:29]And I, so I, but I didn't know this.

[40:31]Like I wasn't.

[40:31]Next to the baseball glove.

[40:32]I wasn't super outdoorsy, uh, before I met Anna.

[40:35]So like, she was like, yeah, you got to have an REI account.

[40:38]Like it's, it's where it's at, you know, like it's the best store.

[40:40]You can turn things anytime you need to.

[40:43]Right.

[40:44]So I've had my own REI account since 2006 or seven.

[40:47]At some point in the last year, I think I must've gotten an email about my REI account,

[40:52]but I didn't.

[40:52]And so once then we got married, like we use, like we just have one REI account cause you

[40:57]get like a dividend and spend it or whatever.

[40:59]So we just use it's mine under my email and that, and we share it.

[41:02]Hey, I bought these condoms here.

[41:04]I got some real bad news.

[41:07]They're made out of hemp.

[41:09]And, uh, at some point I must've gotten an email about my REI account, but I didn't pay

[41:16]attention to it.

[41:16]Cause I get a lot of REI emails like for sales or like, Hey, congratulations.

[41:19]You bought a thing or whatever.

[41:20]Can I just tell you my email right now?

[41:22]Unusable because of this very thing.

[41:24]Every business is sending me stuff.

[41:26]I don't even use my email.

[41:27]I'm getting like stuff from my, it's like, Hey, your kids need to sign up for college.

[41:30]It's gone.

[41:31]It's gone.

[41:32]I'm looking at some deleting it with some email from a restaurant in Montreal that I

[41:36]ate at in 2005.

[41:37]I'm like, why this is worthless.

[41:39]Email is broken.

[41:39]Yeah.

[41:40]So, uh, REI is great because you can return anything, anytime.

[41:45]I think they cut it down to 10 on it with like a year of purchase, but like they'll

[41:49]take stuff back.

[41:49]No questions asked.

[41:50]So you can return stuff, whatever.

[41:51]Um, so Anna came home recently from REI and she was like, um, you're, that's his wife's

[42:00]name, right?

[42:00]Yeah.

[42:01]I was like, yeah.

[42:02]I was like, she was like, uh, everything you buy, you got a job inspecting the returned

[42:08]underwear at REI.

[42:10]You just told me about that.

[42:11]You're sort of my smell.

[42:17]Like, what's the, how do you, uh, and she was like, I was doing a podcast about my dreams

[42:22]and when they were crushed and Matt was saying, you know, you do what you love.

[42:26]You never work.

[42:26]I thought it was.

[42:27]And she's like, I don't know.

[42:32]Uh, I have to tell you something about your REI account.

[42:34]Um, from now on, everything you buy in the account is final sale.

[42:38]There's no more returns on the stuff you buy from your REI account.

[42:42]She, and I, I asked her permission if I could tell the story.

[42:45]Um, my wife is a prolific buyer and tester of shoes and other items.

[42:50]And we got to a point where we returned so many things.

[42:53]Oh, I hear those people.

[42:55]Those people.

[42:56]We broke the REI return policy.

[42:58]Wow.

[42:59]I've been 86 from returning things at REI.

[43:02]The only way Matt is about to explode.

[43:04]We found the end.

[43:06]No, that's not, no.

[43:07]I am not.

[43:08]This is all within the rules.

[43:09]We found the end of the rules.

[43:11]I'll tell you.

[43:12]Yeah.

[43:12]I'm.

[43:13]There's rules like.

[43:14]And what do we, do we.

[43:16]We got to bleep that out.

[43:17]We got to bleep that out.

[43:18]Oh God.

[43:19]Damn it.

[43:20]There's a thing about.

[43:21]And there's people that will return kids' pants because if they grow out of them, you're supposed

[43:27]to be able to return the pants.

[43:28]Right.

[43:28]People will rip the pants.

[43:29]Kids.

[43:30]Every.

[43:30]Every.

[43:31]Every little boy has holes in the knees.

[43:33]Right.

[43:34]From kind of a deal.

[43:35]Yeah.

[43:35]People return those all the time.

[43:36]Like I refuse to do that, but that's all within the rules.

[43:39]I mean, there's, there's these, if they're going to have the rules or they let you do

[43:42]that stuff, we followed the rules and we got to the end of the rules and they said, you

[43:46]cannot return.

[43:47]We found that we found the limits of REI, which I'm kind of impressed.

[43:50]That's hilarious.

[43:51]Well, good for you.

[43:53]I found it.

[43:53]I once went into a home Depot.

[43:55]This was one of the rare times where I've taken a picture of a stranger with my phone

[43:58]and I was like, I really thought about it.

[43:59]I was like outside of a bathroom.

[44:01]Rare.

[44:02]That's rare.

[44:02]First of all, you guys aren't strangers.

[44:05]Second of all, that was a very short time where I was a cook at a barbecue restaurant

[44:11]where I was doing that.

[44:12]I can't remember what happened.

[44:13]I left, I left my equipment behind.

[44:14]I hope nobody got in trouble.

[44:15]Anyway, uh, the thing is, is that this guy was returning a dead tree to home Depot and

[44:22]he had it in his hand and the tree was about 10 feet.

[44:25]Yeah.

[44:26]And they, but he was holding it in the return line, like a tree.

[44:29]I was like, bro, I bet you could just leave that out.

[44:31]And just tell him like, Hey, I've got a dead tree.

[44:33]Like we don't need to bring it.

[44:34]Right.

[44:35]So I knew I was wading into dangerous territory with the retail adventures, but we, again,

[44:39]we were following the rules.

[44:41]Ari was also following their rules.

[44:42]And now, yeah, now Anna has her own REI account and that's the one I'll be buying things on

[44:47]from now on.

[44:48]How do you guys are just have a different account that you can return on?

[44:52]Well, yeah.

[44:53]Until they, until we get too many returns on that one.

[44:55]Now you're going to switch over to her account and you're switching over to Wallace's account.

[44:59]But you gotta say like there, there's.

[45:01]There's a lot of places like that.

[45:02]Right.

[45:03]And like Bachman's, I'm thinking locally, like they'll, they will take back any plants

[45:07]that you think that they have said died.

[45:09]Right.

[45:09]Oh, this didn't come back this year.

[45:11]Kind of a thing.

[45:12]And it's just their way of like customer service.

[45:14]And there's a loss provision of 5% or whatever kind of a thing.

[45:18]But if you're a prolific abuser and I'm, and I'm using air quotes because it's not really

[45:23]abusing it, but there are people that do abuse it.

[45:25]You know, if you're doing like, they have to have some limits and be able to be able

[45:30]to say like, eventually, like we've got to cut.

[45:31]We'll cut this off.

[45:32]Cut me off.

[45:32]I got, I got 86.

[45:33]That's hilarious.

[45:34]That's great.

[45:35]I would highly recommend Jenny and I are in a big returning things to Amazon kick.

[45:39]We return stuff all the time.

[45:40]Then they just tell you to keep it and they give you a bunny off.

[45:43]But here's the thing.

[45:45]You know how it sucks to put all the packaging back together.

[45:47]I highly recommend asking your housekeeper to do all your Amazon returns for you.

[45:53]She knows where they go.

[45:55]She's not afraid to talk to the people at the front desk and tell them to put this in

[45:59]the mail.

[45:59]It works out perfectly.

[46:01]So that's my one piece of advice to you.

[46:02]Have your housekeeper do your Amazon return.

[46:04]How's it really going with John?

[46:07]Well, I think the problem with your REI returns, I've, I've heard about this is that you probably

[46:13]returned too many tents with cum stains.

[46:14]Just completely.

[46:15]Really?

[46:17]Really?

[46:18]Just leave it in there.

[46:19]Love being in nature.

[46:20]Yes.

[46:21]All those trips.

[46:24]Sir, this is a one man tent.

[46:27]We're going to take the black light out and Aaron's like, Oh shit.

[46:29]Oh man.

[46:31]I'm going to keep, I'm going to keep this one.

[46:32]Rolling, going with me guys.

[46:35]I get a dealer's choice.

[46:36]I love when Russell gives you guys the option.

[46:38]So I've got, uh, all of, all of, all of story, live music story or flight tonight story.

[46:44]What do you want to hear?

[46:45]Oh boy.

[46:46]I got to go.

[46:46]I got to go all of story, I think.

[46:48]But what do you think?

[46:49]All of story.

[46:50]All of story.

[46:50]Well, I was going to go flight tonight.

[46:52]Oh yeah.

[46:54]Well, all of story.

[46:55]We'll save it for later.

[46:55]Yeah.

[46:56]Yeah.

[46:56]So I was down on campus just, just last week.

[46:59]Um, it was the most.

[47:01]It was the most nostalgic trip that I've had in all the times I've been back.

[47:04]I walk around.

[47:04]Can you tell us why were you down there?

[47:06]Yeah.

[47:06]So my, my daughter is a swimmer and went down for a swim recruiting trip.

[47:10]So I got to meet with the coaches and it was 20 other junior swimmers that went down and

[47:15]it was all their parents.

[47:16]So it was a great, great time.

[47:18]We did a lunch in the calf, but you guys, it was a blast.

[47:20]I'll tell you, 25 years later, uh, the whole place seemed exactly the same from a student

[47:26]body makeup.

[47:27]Like I was picking out people, I'm like, Hey, you're, you're the lead singer of the rock

[47:31]band.

[47:31]That's playing at the pause.

[47:32]Like I could see the kid as he walked through campus.

[47:34]I knew it was Chris.

[47:35]And, uh, it was Aaron.

[47:38]That's exactly the guy I saw a Chris Coase, a doppelganger.

[47:41]He was dressed exactly like him and looked, it was crazy.

[47:44]Uh, but I will tell you, we got guy walks by like six, eight wearing a trench coat.

[47:48]You're like that guy's from Alaska.

[47:52]And I know things that never change.

[47:54]Can we call you the giant's own mate?

[47:56]He is back.

[47:57]Uh, I see the old out.

[47:59]He's just fucked a worker at McDonald's.

[48:01]Uh, he's just fucked a worker at McDonald's.

[48:01]Oh, another kid comes out.

[48:04]He just woke up at a tent in some woman's basement and the dog and shit all over the

[48:07]tent.

[48:07]What?

[48:08]I didn't know that story.

[48:10]Um, so it was, it was a beautiful day and I'll tell you, we were 25 too late guys.

[48:16]Cause the science center is incredible.

[48:19]I'd been through it, but not when students were studying it.

[48:21]It's, I would have been a straight A student.

[48:23]Uh, the, the new math building in the library, you guys thought of you guys.

[48:27]When I got to this point to the tour, there are two rooms dedicated to

[48:31]podcasting.

[48:31]Oh, we got all the technology and we have to do this.

[48:37]I, I think we talked to the students in the president cause there's a new president and

[48:41]we tell them this needs to be named.

[48:43]One of these two rooms needs to be named the Beck did it better.

[48:45]Well, they, they will do that if you give them enough money.

[48:50]That's true.

[48:50]They will absolutely do that.

[48:51]Yep.

[48:51]Hey, who do we know on this podcast who has more money?

[48:54]I think we should check in with a guy who has his, uh, housekeeper.

[49:01]We're doing his Amazon returns.

[49:02]That's what we should, that's what we should be checking in with.

[49:05]You, you, you do have to, I, you sent a picture of this and our listeners aren't going to know this,

[49:09]but John, tell people what Friday flowers are.

[49:12]I have a question for you guys on this, but our listeners need to know about this.

[49:15]Friday flowers was the biggest ripoff to guys in the history of, of, of commerce.

[49:22]No, actually it was, it's a really great thing.

[49:25]So every Friday, the real, the first time I thought I was like handjob time.

[49:31]At least over pants.

[49:33]You know what I mean?

[49:33]Like at least something over pants.

[49:35]You know how many favors those flowers got for guys throughout the history of that college.

[49:39]So what happened, John?

[49:40]Every, every Friday people could go in, there'd be flowers and then you would buy them for

[49:44]someone, put them in their mail slot, right?

[49:46]Exactly.

[49:46]So everyone has a mail slot that they share with a partner, uh, or a person with their

[49:50]same last, similar last name.

[49:52]And so they had a flower shop set up that you could buy flowers for somebody and put

[49:55]it in their PO box so that when they come to check their mail, their day is completely

[50:00]brightened.

[50:01]By the fact that someone thought, thought about it enough to get them flowers and

[50:04]you could get flowers for anybody, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, just a regular

[50:08]old friend that needed to pick me up.

[50:09]Yeah, it was for, for anybody.

[50:11]And it was, it was a fantastic way of, of sharing the love and to see that in

[50:15]action.

[50:16]I give him to that Steve all the time because I was always putting flowers in

[50:19]his box.

[50:19]Oh, for sure.

[50:20]Yeah.

[50:21]I, my, I never got Friday flowers.

[50:25]Nobody ever gave them to me.

[50:26]All that was in my mailbox would be that Victoria's secret to Dr.

[50:31]Love flowers whatsoever.

[50:32]Very stressful.

[50:34]I, stuff like that where you have to buy it.

[50:36]I don't know.

[50:36]Like it is, it is stressful.

[50:38]You're right, Rob.

[50:39]Cause one, there, there's two sides of this one.

[50:41]You're buying flowers for someone and you're giving, you're giving, you're not there when

[50:45]they get them.

[50:46]So you don't know what that reaction is going to be.

[50:48]Like Rob's, Rob's trying to put the moves on one of these ladies in his, in his science

[50:52]class and he goes and gets her flowers and she's not into it.

[50:55]There's some pressure with that, right?

[50:56]Hey, it was great seeing your stool sample.

[51:01]By the way, what if your lips were the same size?

[51:08]I think you can get your arms all the way around me.

[51:10]I bet you can't.

[51:11]And if you, the other thing, the other flip side of it is also, what would you say the

[51:17]amount of people that would get Friday flowers would be 5% a week?

[51:21]Yeah.

[51:21]10%?

[51:22]10, 15?

[51:23]Yeah.

[51:23]I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20 would be my guess.

[51:26]But Russell, but Russell, can I just say, you're talking to three guys here who probably got

[51:29]them every week.

[51:30]Yes.

[51:31]You know what I mean?

[51:31]No.

[51:32]Just every week and they'd be like nipple prints on them.

[51:34]I think it was much more like friend to friend on the female side was much more common than

[51:39]Yes.

[51:39]Than like a guy who doesn't have that much romantic flowers kind of a thing.

[51:42]Yeah.

[51:43]Yeah.

[51:43]But for, for 90% of the people, they walk in, you see all the flowers and you walk up

[51:48]to your box and it's a ghost town.

[51:49]That's not a good feeling, is it?

[51:51]No.

[51:52]That's, I mean, that's four years of ghost town.

[51:57]Damn, they should give you another degree for that shit, right?

[52:01]And graduated, you know, never come loud.

[52:04]You've got like that.

[52:05]You were like soup, suma come loud, weren't you?

[52:11]Yeah.

[52:11]Russell, never come loud.

[52:13]Russell's graduating.

[52:14]Never come loud.

[52:15]He is one of the virgins of St.

[52:17]Old to be graduating.

[52:18]So the best part was you're wearing a big blue scarf with big balls at the bottom.

[52:25]Oh no.

[52:25]I kept that tassel.

[52:31]The best part was they had a panel of students, student athletes that answered questions from

[52:35]the admissions officer and they talked about what else they do.

[52:39]And there was a kid on the panel, Rob, I shit you not, he and his buddy has a radio show.

[52:46]And the way he kicked that off is he said he came in and he was learning about all the

[52:50]different things you could do as a student.

[52:51]And he said, we learned that we could be radio hosts and have a radio show.

[52:55]And I immediately thought of the Rob and Sam show and Russ, your show with the Pleasure

[53:01]Principle.

[53:01]And I thought.

[53:02]And Aaron.

[53:03]And Aaron.

[53:04]Yes.

[53:04]Yes.

[53:05]Thank you.

[53:06]Thank you.

[53:06]Thank you.

[53:06]That was, that was appropriately titled 600 pounds of twisted steel and sex appeal.

[53:12]That's right.

[53:13]For the people who've forgotten.

[53:15]Yeah.

[53:15]That's what it was.

[53:16]More creativity than the Rob and Sam show.

[53:18]Well, it was, it was, I might shock you that I picked to put my name first.

[53:22]We had a little discussion about it.

[53:23]My name was going first in there.

[53:25]So I actually thought about that.

[53:26]It was the Rob and Sam show, not the Sam and Rob show.

[53:29]That's a very different, very different.

[53:31]It was a very different show.

[53:31]And Sam was like, you know what?

[53:32]Fuck it.

[53:32]I don't care.

[53:33]Hey, I've been main host in my whole life.

[53:35]You know what I mean?

[53:36]This is just what I was born to do.

[53:38]So you guys, it was, it was a great time.

[53:40]The memories that flooded back.

[53:41]It was the most nostalgic, emotional time that I had.

[53:45]It was fun to be able to text you guys as I was going through it and pointing out the

[53:49]different moments and points where I told my daughter, I said, that's where I got my

[53:53]truck stuck in the, in the, in the snow bank.

[53:55]And I pointed out where my wife and I had our first kiss and she was like, ew, dad

[53:59]gross.

[53:59]I probably shouldn't do that in the chapter.

[54:01]You definitely should.

[54:01]It was on the altar.

[54:05]It was great.

[54:05]Listen guys, talking about two spit earlier leads me to my favorite story and I'll tell

[54:09]a truncated version of it.

[54:10]But for an entire year, uh, John's pod was spitting into an UTS.

[54:15]They would chew and then spit into an UTS pretzel barrel.

[54:19]So a clear plastic cheese balls, cheese balls, cheese balls, definitely cheese balls.

[54:23]So they were spitting into this.

[54:25]And so, so as the year went on, the chew spit rose, it was like, it was like, it was

[54:30]like, you know, you're right.

[54:30]You're watching a flood happen.

[54:32]It would just go up and up and up until finally at the end of the year, we're absolutely

[54:37]hammered.

[54:38]It's like the last week where just the seniors are there and their week.

[54:41]And there is going to be a huge gathering in the woods where the student president has

[54:47]gotten champagne for some of us.

[54:51]He's gotten like two bottles for every five people or something.

[54:54]And John cooks champagne.

[54:56]John is absolutely livid.

[55:00]He cannot believe how bad the champagne scene is, or he's mad at the president.

[55:05]And he says, you know what we're going to do?

[55:07]We're going to take this barrel of chew spit.

[55:10]We're taking it down to the woods and we're going to dump it on him.

[55:13]Now this feels like a crime, this dorm full of like 12 drunk college seniors.

[55:22]We realized like, this is a big, this is chew spit all year.

[55:26]We're going to dump it on somebody.

[55:28]We immediately go, yeah.

[55:30]This idea we've ever heard in our entire life.

[55:33]We're like, John, John, John grabs the barrel of chew spit, walks out the door.

[55:37]And I will never forget this.

[55:38]I will never forget that when I'm on my deathbed and my children are holding my hands.

[55:43]Taking your socks off.

[55:46]My last thought will be the image.

[55:50]Oh my God.

[55:50]If they took my socks off before I died, Russell, you can send me straight to hell.

[55:55]Cause I've already been to heaven, baby.

[55:56]I can, will never forget.

[56:00]I can never forget John taking exactly two steps out of the room and just spilling this

[56:06]whole barrel of chew spit all over the hallway.

[56:09]And all of a sudden just coming back at us.

[56:12]You just saw the air get hazy and you're like, what is that?

[56:14]What is coming?

[56:14]And then all of a sudden, like three months of chew spit in a barrel, the stench of it

[56:20]hits your face and you're just like, oh, it was so rancid.

[56:24]And the code of that story is John goes, guys, I know how to clean this up.

[56:28]And he goes and gets it.

[56:30]One of the strangest fire extinguishers I've ever seen in my entire life, where what it

[56:33]sprayed out was water.

[56:35]So of course, John knew where the water fire extinguisher was.

[56:39]He goes and grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays it in the hallway, sending all of the

[56:44]chew spit slightly down the hall.

[56:46]Hey, guess what?

[56:47]Problem solved.

[56:49]Drunk in our dorm.

[56:50]Ready to keep doing what we're doing.

[56:53]And then he went and bought the student president of Friday flowers instead.

[56:56]Yeah, exactly.

[56:57]Now, John, I got to ask you.

[56:59]Yeah.

[57:00]So you are.

[57:02]You may have some outlandish behavior at times, but there's no part of you that was ever going

[57:08]to throw that on a person.

[57:10]So my question is, was the dump on purpose?

[57:14]No one's probably ever asked you that because you're not carrying that all.

[57:18]And you're definitely you would never throw that on a person.

[57:20]So was the dump on purpose?

[57:22]This could change my life.

[57:23]I honestly can't answer that question because of the lack of memory that I have.

[57:29]But Russell.

[57:30]To speak true to my heart, I could speculate that I did a fake trip to do that, knowing

[57:38]that I've made a mistake and I can't dump this on somebody.

[57:40]I could have done that.

[57:41]But at the same time, based on how outraged I was and the amount of alcohol had been consumed

[57:46]that night, I very well was looking for a head to dump that on.

[57:50]John, of course.

[57:51]No matter what.

[57:51]Here's the real question.

[57:52]Of course, what you're most famous for, in my mind, is your cafeteria.

[57:56]Word would spread like wildfire.

[57:59]Oh, God.

[58:00]John.

[58:00]John's going to do it.

[58:01]John's going to do it.

[58:02]Somebody paid John to do it.

[58:03]Somebody paid John to do it.

[58:04]And we're like, what's happening?

[58:05]What's happening?

[58:05]They're like, John is going to fill up his tray full of food and fall.

[58:10]And the moment he walked in.

[58:12]Trip on purpose.

[58:12]200 heads snapped to him.

[58:14]And John would take the most circuitous route around the cafeteria, up the stairs, down

[58:19]the stairs.

[58:19]He'd be looking.

[58:20]He's like, where are people?

[58:21]And then what would happen, John?

[58:23]What would you do?

[58:23]Well, it's so you remember eating at the cap, the big, huge auditorium of a room with super

[58:28]loud acoustics.

[58:29]Anytime.

[58:30]A dish broke.

[58:31]The thing went silent.

[58:32]Everyone turned and stared.

[58:34]And the perpetrator of that was so embarrassed that they just, just, just crumpled in their

[58:39]own body.

[58:40]So I developed a plan where I could make some money, where I took donations, where people

[58:44]could give me money and then they could go get whatever they wanted from the buffet contribution.

[58:49]It's deductible.

[58:50]Exactly.

[58:51]And they could put it on my tray and I would carry that tray up and I would fake my trip

[58:55]and spill that whole tray all over everything.

[58:57]And so that's what I would do to make a little money on the side.

[59:00]And then you would run and then you would ride.

[59:02]Yeah.

[59:02]I'd jump up and I would look so embarrassed and I'd look around and I'd run out embarrassed

[59:07]because I'm not going to help clean that up.

[59:09]They've got people that they'll pay and do that.

[59:11]I'm out of there so quick.

[59:13]I run as quick back to the dorm to plug back into GoldenEye or Halo and everyone comes

[59:18]and pays me.

[59:18]But do you know what the problem is, guys?

[59:20]They got rid of the trays.

[59:21]You can only carry plates.

[59:23]Yeah.

[59:23]The cafeteria.

[59:24]No trays.

[59:25]No more trays.

[59:26]Whoa.

[59:27]Sad.

[59:28]The only other funny thing.

[59:30]That John would do.

[59:30]Not the only, but the other thing.

[59:32]They used to have the dessert cart and it was an actual like dessert cart.

[59:37]And he used to, he would unplug it and then he would just start walking around handing

[59:42]out desserts to everybody.

[59:43]And people would still, people who didn't know John would look at him like, what the

[59:49]fuck is this guy doing?

[59:50]But you never knew if maybe it was something the school was doing because every once in

[59:53]a while they'd do like weird stuff, you know, or it'd be like, oh, hey, we got some shit

[59:57]for you.

[59:57]And you're like, oh, this rules.

[59:58]This is the best day of my life.

[60:00]And it's like, oh, we got free condoms.

[60:01]And then again, famously, what color were the condoms that I picked out of the free condom

[60:04]thing?

[60:05]Brown.

[60:05]Brown.

[60:06]Do you guys remember this?

[60:09]So there were two cafeterias at St. Olaf, the newer one, which I think was built.

[60:13]Our sophomore year.

[60:14]Our sophomore year.

[60:15]Yep.

[60:15]Yeah.

[60:15]But I had two months.

[60:17]I had two months in the old one.

[60:18]The old cafeteria.

[60:19]I think I was there for at least one of them.

[60:21]There was a legit full on food fight.

[60:23]Do you guys remember this?

[60:24]Yeah, I do.

[60:25]Like literally the whole cafeteria is throwing food all over.

[60:29]Do you guys remember?

[60:29]John, didn't you?

[60:30]Didn't you also hop on the conveyor one time?

[60:33]Oh, my God.

[60:33]Or was that somebody else?

[60:35]Oh, my God.

[60:36]Yeah.

[60:37]In the old calf on the short side.

[60:39]So the conveyor is where the dirty dishes go back to the kitchen.

[60:44]So guess who was working in the back washing dishes?

[60:48]Kevin, the giant from Alaska.

[60:51]I take issue with your guys' worlds.

[60:55]We have kind of two groups of friends here that we had.

[60:57]John and Matt, you kind of were in one group.

[60:59]I would say Aaron and I were in a little different group,

[61:02]at least for like freshman year, I'd say, right?

[61:04]True, yeah.

[61:04]The group's merged later on, but you're right, freshman year.

[61:07]You guys used to call the large man on campus the giant.

[61:11]Yeah.

[61:11]We called him Big Scary.

[61:13]Big Scary.

[61:14]I have always called him Big Scary.

[61:16]There's a way cooler nickname than the giant.

[61:18]Yeah.

[61:19]Easy.

[61:19]Big Scary.

[61:22]Big Scary.

[61:22]Because this guy, I mean, you already painted the picture, right?

[61:26]But he was 6'8", I think.

[61:28]7 feet at least.

[61:29]7 feet.

[61:29]7 feet.

[61:30]Long hair, beard, kind of maybe cross-eyed or something,

[61:34]and walked around campus singing to himself,

[61:36]mostly songs that I think he was making up on the spot, right?

[61:39]Yeah.

[61:41]But what was that thing you could make your own major?

[61:43]He was a storytelling major.

[61:45]Yeah, he was a storytelling major.

[61:46]His major was storytelling.

[61:47]I didn't know that about him.

[61:48]You know, yeah.

[61:49]And of course, like super nice guy.

[61:51]He used to hide up in trees.

[61:52]Did you ever actually talk to him?

[61:53]And he would jump down and like, you know, like scare you,

[61:56]but then like recite poetry to you or something.

[61:58]Yes.

[61:59]It was like.

[61:59]It was just an odd job.

[62:01]You know, he had mad groupies that they just like a harem of followers.

[62:04]A lot of slurping.

[62:05]A lot of slurping.

[62:07]Oh my God.

[62:07]Yeah.

[62:07]Hey, rolling going.

[62:10]Russell, how's it going with you?

[62:11]Rolling going, guys.

[62:12]I'll tell you.

[62:13]I went to the Timberwolves game the other night.

[62:14]I'll tell you about that next week.

[62:16]I have a problem.

[62:18]I got to tell you.

[62:18]It's a big problem.

[62:19]Uh-oh.

[62:20]Russ, would you say you need some advice?

[62:21]No.

[62:23]Shut it off.

[62:25]No, it's fine.

[62:26]Nope.

[62:27]Rob, is this where you need to turn your head?

[62:29]Turn your computer off for 15 minutes again, like the beginning of this episode?

[62:32]I seamlessly edited that part out earlier.

[62:35]Oh, sorry.

[62:36]I have a big problem.

[62:38]It revealed itself the other day, the other morning.

[62:40]I was walking into work.

[62:41]Yeah.

[62:42]I've got squeaky tennis shoes.

[62:45]Oh, no.

[62:45]No.

[62:46]No.

[62:47]And it was.

[62:48]So I went into work, and that was a Friday somewhere in tennis shoes.

[62:53]I normally kind of got my Allen Edmonds, Matt, the kind of the nice looking tennis shoes,

[62:57]but these are just regular.

[62:59]Kind of like Brooks type running shoes or, you know, regular tennis shoes.

[63:02]Got to get rid of them.

[63:03]Just a little bit of rain out there.

[63:05]Not pouring, but I walk in, and that little bit of rain turns my shoes into the squeakiest

[63:10]things in the history of the world.

[63:11]Oh, no.

[63:12]And so I'm walking towards the elevator, and every step is squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak,

[63:20]squeak, over and over, because you've got like the hardwood floor, right?

[63:25]And normally, if there's no one there, you wouldn't think anything of it, but there were

[63:29]other people getting on the elevator.

[63:31]How embarrassing to have squeaky shoes, right?

[63:35]Just the worst.

[63:36]There's no fix, right?

[63:37]Like, what do you do?

[63:37]You're trying to like.

[63:38]Well, take them off.

[63:39]I guess take them off.

[63:41]Yeah, that's the only option.

[63:42]Yeah, you're right.

[63:42]What makes the shoes squeaky?

[63:44]Is it just the rubber?

[63:46]I mean, I'm guessing you had some like maybe like running type shoes that had a pretty

[63:52]thick sole and maybe had like a little air pockets or something.

[63:55]Something like that, Matt.

[63:56]Yeah, okay, yeah.

[63:56]A little bit.

[63:57]They get a little bit injured.

[63:58]Somehow, then when you start stepping, then yeah.

[64:02]Wow.

[64:02]And so then I have to get on the elevator with other people, and the whole time I'm

[64:08]thinking, they're just thinking I'm like the squeaky shoe guy.

[64:11]Like, they're not thinking it like, oh, this guy seems like a smart guy, but he went to

[64:15]St.

[64:15]Olaf or something like that, right?

[64:17]You're like a Seinfeld character.

[64:18]Yeah, my shoes are so squeaky, and I'm like, I want to be like, this is not who I am.

[64:23]It was just like a bad day, you know, like you can't judge me forever because of one day

[64:28]of squeaky shoes.

[64:28]But you can't say to them like, I know my shoes are squeaky, because then they're like,

[64:32]oh, okay.

[64:32]That's even worse.

[64:33]Yeah.

[64:34]Like, I would rather walk in with like my fly down accidentally than walk in with squeaky

[64:39]shoes, right?

[64:39]Yeah, right.

[64:40]Yeah, yeah.

[64:40]So what did you do?

[64:41]Do you still own those shoes?

[64:43]They're sitting right over there.

[64:44]I like the shoes, but I just don't think I can ever wear them if there is any sort of

[64:49]moisture out there.

[64:50]No, no.

[64:51]Okay, because you have not gone out and or gone on the interweb and got yourself a new

[64:56]pair of shoes yet.

[64:57]Not yet.

[64:58]No, Matt.

[64:58]No.

[64:59]Okay.

[64:59]But then the whole time I was thinking like, they have to know it's raining out, right?

[65:04]It's not, it's not like, it's not like they're just squeaky in general.

[65:08]It's because it's raining out, but maybe they're not thinking about that.

[65:10]They're just thinking about what is wrong with this guy.

[65:12]John has to go to the bathroom.

[65:13]So he just pulled a five gallon bucket out and now he's at the back of his garage peeing

[65:18]in a bucket.

[65:19]Pissing into a bucket.

[65:20]This guy really is the definition of a Wisconsinite.

[65:24]So many years I didn't have a bucket in my garage.

[65:26]I really should have done that.

[65:27]Yeah.

[65:28]Matt, roll it.

[65:28]Go on.

[65:28]How's it going with you?

[65:29]Well, now that John's back, this is very timely because I think I famously want the first

[65:33]time John was on, like we've just heard all of the John stories.

[65:37]And the first thing he talked about was his stinking CPAP machine.

[65:43]That's what he brought up was a CPAP machine.

[65:45]And now that you're on here, I could talk about, I have my own CPAP story.

[65:49]I don't have a, no, I don't have a CPAP, but I have had to start using cheater glasses

[65:55]when I'm reading like the paper on my cell phone.

[65:57]So.

[65:58]I've officially moved into old man territory using cheater glasses.

[66:03]I just have, I've got the 1.0.

[66:06]You can go up to like 4.0 or something like that.

[66:08]I'm not talking about this.

[66:09]So I've got 1.0.

[66:11]Just want to let everybody know that it's okay.

[66:14]I'm younger than all of you guys.

[66:15]It's okay to use cheater glasses.

[66:17]It's okay to try it.

[66:18]If you're at a CVS, they've got a nice display and they've got some like samples and things

[66:22]and just try it out next time you're at a, at a drug store.

[66:25]Oh, it's so sad to hear you're so much younger than us.

[66:27]It's so sad to hear that.

[66:28]I know, I know.

[66:29]We are talking about Discovery by Daft Punk.

[66:32]And so, I mean, Daft Punk, it's an album about the discovery.

[66:37]And again, I'm reading this fresh, did not read this beforehand.

[66:40]It's an album about the discovery part of childhood.

[66:43]Okay.

[66:44]So when you hear all this, just understand that that's what they're, that's what they're

[66:47]talking about.

[66:47]And this whole thing is inspired.

[66:49]If you look at the album cover and the videos, they're all inspired by Japanese anime and

[66:53]actually the duo collaborated.

[66:55]Chopsquad.

[66:56]Yes.

[66:56]This duo collaborated.

[66:58]And made a Secret Star System, the story of the Secret Star System, which was an anime

[67:03]film.

[67:04]And this whole album was a soundtrack to that Japanese anime.

[67:07]So sometimes when you're listening to this, that helps you kind of put this whole album

[67:10]in perspective.

[67:11]Daft Punk are two French musicians.

[67:13]This is the only album of theirs on the whole list.

[67:15]And basically they became big in the nineties when they were.

[67:19]When were they born?

[67:20]Oh, I forgot about that.

[67:23]Sweet.

[67:24]It's important.

[67:24]Birthdays.

[67:28]Uh, 1974 and 1975.

[67:30]So not that much.

[67:32]Okay.

[67:33]Makes sense.

[67:35]Cause I think they're talking about that.

[67:36]The youthful thing of it, Rob, right?

[67:37]They're talking about like the era of 75 to 85 is what I was reading.

[67:41]Yeah.

[67:42]And you know what?

[67:43]They probably had French baseball cards, Russell.

[67:45]Well, we, we, I mean, can you imagine the mustaches on those guys?

[67:48]I don't know.

[67:48]What's, what's the, what's the, what's the nine in French?

[67:52]Oh, uh, known PSA.

[67:55]No one knew it.

[67:56]I thought I could get by without.

[67:58]Did you see that confidence though?

[68:00]I had, God, that was good.

[68:03]Uh, now here in my notes, I wrote in my notes.

[68:06]I wrote in September of 1993, Daft Punk attended a rave at Euro Disney.

[68:11]Now I'm assuming that there's more to those notes.

[68:13]I like that's got what got them into electronic.

[68:15]That would be crazy.

[68:16]Right.

[68:16]If they went to a rave at Euro Disney and then they're like, so they're like 18.

[68:20]That's like they're.

[68:21]Yeah.

[68:21]I mean, that's right.

[68:22]Can you do your French accent when we're done?

[68:25]Oh, this is so good.

[68:26]I like this electronic.

[68:28]Are you going to cut out the one that sounded like Arnold?

[68:30]Uh, and basically he's cooking the dinner as they must ratatouille.

[68:39]This is also the first Daft Punk album where they're wearing the robot masks famously.

[68:45]And, uh, yeah, I don't know.

[68:47]I mean, I just don't have that much stuff about this album.

[68:49]I've listened to in my life.

[68:51]Well, we're an hour and 38 in.

[68:52]Listen one more time.

[68:57]I love this.

[68:57]I love this song.

[68:58]Great start to the album, but for, I think a lot of us, Daft Punk was the first time

[69:03]where electronica really was mainstream, right?

[69:06]Like you saw the videos on MTV, like, and what's the deal with this music?

[69:11]Is there, are there live instruments on this album or is it entirely Aaron?

[69:15]I need you to install Tik TOK because if you type in like this song, Daft Punk and the

[69:21]samples they use, how they got the samples, I'll send it to you guys later.

[69:24]It's so good because they actually are taking a lot of samples.

[69:27]And then speeding it up and slowing it down and then putting that together.

[69:32]And when you see it analyzed on these Tik TOKs, it's just brilliant.

[69:35]I highly recommend everybody goes out and look it up.

[69:38]Now I, I, my relationship to Daft Punk is I loved around the world.

[69:42]I love the video for it.

[69:43]And then I kind of got into them backwards from there, but I've never like listened to

[69:47]their album.

[69:47]Me neither.

[69:48]I mean, it's much more organic sounding than I expected.

[69:51]Like there were tracks where I was like, is this a real band playing?

[69:54]I would rather listen to Miraclite giving me a take.

[69:57]But that's good.

[69:58]Oh my God.

[69:59]That's a crazy take.

[70:00]I, you cannot say that so soon.

[70:02]I know.

[70:03]I went too early.

[70:04]Miraclite is good though.

[70:06]Yeah, right.

[70:07]Aerodynamic.

[70:09]Russell, what do you think about electronic music in general like this?

[70:11]I was a little torn on this.

[70:13]We're talking about St. Olaf earlier.

[70:15]I think I've always had a bit of an aversion to electronic music and part of it goes back

[70:20]to being at St. Olaf.

[70:21]So St. Olaf is a big music college and we were there.

[70:24]There was so many like very talented musicians, whether they're,

[70:27]they're instruments, singers, whatever.

[70:29]And there was a guy at the end of the hall.

[70:31]Aaron will remember this, um, who constantly was playing electronic music.

[70:36]Like he had the turntable, the computer and everything.

[70:38]He was constantly, and it was almost off when they get the time.

[70:41]Cause it's like, it was a player in the music.

[70:43]Like, I don't know that there's any talent involved with this.

[70:46]It was unpleasant.

[70:47]And I couldn't stand it at the time.

[70:49]But the more I look back at it now, it was like, he was just into his type

[70:53]of music and I should have probably been more embracing that someone was just

[70:56]doing it.

[70:57]A little bit differently.

[70:58]So I'm a little bit torn.

[70:59]I, I came into this thinking I would not like it, but it's just different.

[71:03]And, and maybe it's pretty cool.

[71:05]Can you picture that guy sitting in his room?

[71:07]Like Russell's in his room being like, man, I gotta be more accepting of this

[71:10]guy and that guy's in his room being like, I'm gonna go jump, dump this

[71:13]whole barrel, choose real thick.

[71:17]I will tell this story.

[71:18]You guys will get a kick out of this.

[71:19]There, there was a, it was very, very, very early on in like freshman year.

[71:22]Um, and I remember there was a girl I was talking to was thinking, oh,

[71:25]maybe this is going somewhere, whatever.

[71:27]And I, I saw her like after a class and we walked, it might've been a

[71:30]Friday, no flowers or anything, John, but I was walking with her and she

[71:35]called me the electronic music guy's name.

[71:37]She had had us confused and I was like, this is the low point in like the

[71:42]first couple of weeks of college.

[71:43]Was that, was that Nick or Luke?

[71:46]Was Nick the electronic music guy?

[71:48]That would be, um, yeah.

[71:49]Oh yeah.

[71:50]He was a rough personality.

[71:51]I went, I took a day trip with him, took the bus up to golden Valley with

[71:55]him.

[71:55]And I was like, Hey, we should go to like,

[71:57]go to the cities.

[71:58]And then we ended up at, uh, down in the Valley records in golden Valley,

[72:01]which now I think is fine, but also just like, you don't want it.

[72:04]Like you take a day trip to golden Valley.

[72:06]You're like, what am I doing in golden Valley?

[72:08]This cannot be a podcast about golden Valley.

[72:11]It's a great record store.

[72:14]That's a top five record store in the city.

[72:16]That's sick in my head that we interrupted a story about some girl.

[72:21]I mean, cause picture what that girl is saying to his friends.

[72:23]She's like, guys, I met the cutest guy down on the floor.

[72:26]I want to suck his balls.

[72:27]So bad.

[72:27]And it's this Nick and everybody's like, Nick, that electronic music guy.

[72:30]It's not a good one.

[72:31]It was not a good one to, it was not a confidence booster to have that.

[72:36]No, the confusion.

[72:37]This guy would have taken a girl to golden Valley on a trip.

[72:39]Like that's the, that's the guy that Russell got confused with.

[72:42]I'm a commiserating with Russell.

[72:43]I feel his pain.

[72:44]I see.

[72:44]I see.

[72:45]So like west of a hundred, but north of three 94.

[72:48]Winnetka and 55.

[72:52]I think it's right.

[72:56]All the city where Rob would have taken his date.

[72:59]Also known as pound town.

[73:00]Oh,

[73:01]John,

[73:03]there used to be a down in the Valley in God's country.

[73:06]Oh my up until about 1992,

[73:08]moved out to golden Valley.

[73:11]That's no Russell.

[73:12]I was,

[73:12]I was putting on my Brown condom and telling girls like,

[73:15]have you ever had sex with a King size tootsie roll?

[73:17]Oh no.

[73:18]Vomit.

[73:20]And then you hear that.

[73:22]And then when you're done,

[73:23]you said now you've had sex with a medium sized tootsie roll.

[73:26]Love this features a song by George Duke called.

[73:31]I love you more from 1979.

[73:32]I thought the beginning of this album was good.

[73:36]I love these.

[73:37]Oh,

[73:37]I agree.

[73:37]Yeah.

[73:38]I thought the first four to five songs were absolute slayers.

[73:41]Actually,

[73:42]if I had a hundred perfect song list,

[73:44]this might go on my list.

[73:46]Like Matt's list.

[73:47]I thought this song was amazingly fantastic.

[73:49]Great.

[73:50]It's just,

[73:52]it's like,

[73:52]it sounds so bright and so happy.

[73:54]And like I had it on at home and it just,

[73:56]it just was like everybody could listen to it.

[73:58]Everybody could just vibe to it.

[73:59]Like there's,

[74:01]there's not,

[74:02]there's no hard listening on a lot of these songs.

[74:05]Like we've had with so many other kind of cut off fast there.

[74:07]We have so many other electronic albums now here,

[74:11]of course,

[74:11]probably the most famous song off this album.

[74:13]I think this is how most people get into Daft Punk in the U S is through harder,

[74:18]better,

[74:18]faster,

[74:19]stronger,

[74:19]of course,

[74:19]covered by Kanye.

[74:20]This song is going to come back to,

[74:22]cause it was in the dog man movies and all the kids are asking for this.

[74:26]Oh,

[74:26]good call.

[74:27]This,

[74:28]this,

[74:29]uh,

[74:30]what the fuck did I write here?

[74:33]Isn't the problem with this though?

[74:34]It's like Kanye uses this and Kanye's use of it is better than this,

[74:39]right?

[74:39]Yeah.

[74:40]Yes.

[74:40]Yeah.

[74:41]Yes.

[74:41]And so when I hear this,

[74:42]it's,

[74:43]it's almost sounds abrupt and not as smooth as when Kanye samples it on his

[74:47]song.

[74:48]So I almost,

[74:49]the,

[74:50]the song Kanye did it better.

[74:52]Oh,

[74:53]wow.

[74:53]Russell,

[74:55]I'm going to advise.

[74:56]We cut that out of the podcast.

[74:59]We don't want a clip of you saying Kanye did it better too much for Shen dolls.

[75:04]I,

[75:04]I just wrote so fun next to this one.

[75:06]I mean,

[75:10]just keeps,

[75:10]it felt like a song that never stopped building.

[75:12]You know what I mean?

[75:14]You're always like,

[75:14]Oh,

[75:14]just about to hit the bridge,

[75:15]just about to hit it,

[75:16]but it's always for Shen doing air.

[75:18]And that's why it's called for Shen dolls.

[75:20]I get it.

[75:20]I get it.

[75:21]Always.

[75:21]Oh,

[75:22]never D crescendo.

[75:26]I was like my wife and I's love life.

[75:29]It's mostly vibrato.

[75:30]Fortissimo night vision vibrato.

[75:34]Do you guys hear that?

[75:35]Is there a delay?

[75:36]This is where the album like just drives off the edge of a cliff for me.

[75:40]A delay.

[75:40]I mean,

[75:41]this is just the instrumental track from that eighties tune,

[75:44]right?

[75:44]I have no idea.

[75:46]Listen,

[75:47]I got,

[75:47]I almost have no notes for the rest of this album.

[75:49]I,

[75:49]the thing is,

[75:51]the thing is Russell,

[75:53]you're right.

[75:54]And this album is long.

[75:55]It's 14,

[75:56]14 songs and it's 14 long songs.

[75:58]And the one hour,

[75:59]one minute,

[75:59]but I got to admit,

[76:01]if you had just had this on and you're kind of setting the vibe,

[76:03]we're putting out some nude yoga statues or whatever Russ has in the living

[76:07]room.

[76:07]I can't quite remember.

[76:08]This is kind of the song you'd be listening to next up.

[76:12]You guys want to hear a song that samples Barry Manilow's who's been

[76:15]sleeping in my bed.

[76:16]Yep.

[76:16]Brilliant.

[76:16]That's Barry Manilow's voice.

[76:22]Yep.

[76:24]Oh,

[76:24]wow.

[76:25]You don't think it's,

[76:26]this is fun.

[76:26]Are the other you out?

[76:30]Doesn't it?

[76:30]Russell thinking about something in the air.

[76:33]Oh my God.

[76:34]It's a juice fit spell.

[76:35]It's coming right back at that.

[76:36]In the room.

[76:37]We can barely play.

[76:38]Hmm.

[76:39]So this is repeating the same thing over and over.

[76:46]This is where I go back to college and I'm like,

[76:48]is there a lot of talent behind this or not?

[76:51]Some of these,

[76:52]I think there are,

[76:53]but some of them where it's just repeating the same thing for two

[76:55]minutes.

[76:56]I guess I just can't wrap my head around it.

[76:58]I got a question.

[76:59]I got a question on that.

[77:00]So you said I was very Manilow.

[77:02]Yes.

[77:03]Was that judge Harry Stone's favorite artist from the,

[77:07]the TV show night court.

[77:09]Nope.

[77:09]That you were thinking of,

[77:10]uh,

[77:11]Mel.

[77:12]Torme.

[77:13]Mel Torme.

[77:14]Yeah.

[77:15]I was going to say Mel Blanc,

[77:16]but that's how I did Bugs Bunny.

[77:17]I mean,

[77:20]you're right,

[77:20]Russell.

[77:20]I don't know this type of music well enough to say,

[77:23]I mean,

[77:23]I don't listen to a lot of dance music.

[77:25]I mean,

[77:25]instrumental.

[77:26]Yeah.

[77:26]Unless you've,

[77:28]and I have not been in a lot of these situations,

[77:31]but unless you've been sweaty in a dance club,

[77:35]like just high on life and pretty drunk,

[77:37]like it's hard to get into this stuff,

[77:40]but like I,

[77:41]it's hard.

[77:41]You don't want,

[77:42]you don't listen to this stuff when you're just around the house,

[77:45]like,

[77:45]you know,

[77:46]hanging out.

[77:47]I think I might do it when like you're cleaning or something like that.

[77:49]But if you go to a club,

[77:50]if you are into clubbing,

[77:52]if you're into like the nightlife thing and just do it,

[77:55]it is,

[77:55]house music.

[77:56]This is kind of like what leads to how,

[77:58]like it's,

[77:59]it's so fun.

[78:00]It's so fun.

[78:01]Like I just,

[78:01]I love this music.

[78:02]Can you imagine in the right,

[78:03]in the right scenario kind of a thing.

[78:05]Can you imagine spending late nights with your friends,

[78:08]listening to electronic music?

[78:09]I mean,

[78:10]that's something I would never do with my life.

[78:12]Next up,

[78:12]something about us.

[78:13]Man,

[78:15]I know a lot of guys here in New York who were like hardcore clubbers when

[78:18]they were growing up.

[78:19]And they'll tell me just stories where I'm like,

[78:21]how are you alive?

[78:22]It'd be like,

[78:23]Oh,

[78:23]I went to the club till six.

[78:24]I'd have a change,

[78:25]I'd close,

[78:26]I'd change and go to work.

[78:27]I'm like,

[78:27]what?

[78:28]This is like a Wednesday.

[78:29]Like,

[78:29]cause I think it used to be the thing where clubs were,

[78:32]you know,

[78:32]the cheap dancing instead of like this bottle service thing.

[78:35]Yeah.

[78:36]They've kind of turned into now.

[78:37]This voice,

[78:38]this is one of the deaf punkers singing,

[78:40]right?

[78:41]Or is this a computer generated voice?

[78:43]No,

[78:44]that's one of the,

[78:45]they have somebody singing on it.

[78:46]I can't remember who it is,

[78:47]but it's some French,

[78:48]French artists.

[78:49]And I know what you're thinking,

[78:50]Aaron.

[78:50]Is it Matisse?

[78:51]Oh,

[78:51]it sounds like the guy from Phoenix.

[78:53]Is it him?

[78:53]Monet or Monet?

[78:55]I mean,

[78:56]there's so many French artists I can think of right now.

[78:59]Aaron,

[78:59]I think you're thinking of the Jason Schwartzman band,

[79:02]the Jason Schwartzman band.

[79:03]That's funny.

[79:04]I'm thinking of Phoenix because they are in a very Murray Christmas starring Jason Schwartzman.

[79:10]So that you're right,

[79:11]Russell.

[79:11]I'm thinking I got Jason Schwartzman on the brain more often than you would think.

[79:14]Guys,

[79:15]this sounds like a bunch of guys that would have gone clubbing when they were younger.

[79:18]Hey,

[79:19]out of this five that we have on this podcast,

[79:21]who,

[79:22]who do you think's got the moves?

[79:23]Cause when I heard this album,

[79:24]there's one person on this podcast I thought of,

[79:27]and I saw his moves and I want to hear what you guys think about is.

[79:30]Well,

[79:31]Russell for sure.

[79:32]I want to see John Russell.

[79:33]Absolutely.

[79:34]It's hard for me to not think about John putting on a panda head and running around and then doing the John classic bit of,

[79:42]Oh,

[79:43]this is funny.

[79:43]Well,

[79:44]guess what?

[79:44]It's going to be 10 times funnier 10 minutes from now when I'm still doing it and he's out there still in the head.

[79:50]And finally a bartender comes out,

[79:52]grabs the head from him,

[79:53]takes it back to the bar.

[79:54]John right behind him saying,

[79:55]please let me have that.

[79:56]I'm so sorry.

[79:57]Voyager.

[80:01]This one I wrote just fucking gorgeous next to it.

[80:03]Well,

[80:05]you're right,

[80:06]Russell.

[80:06]Like it doesn't have that.

[80:07]The beginning is kind of hits.

[80:08]It's like the songs I know a little bit,

[80:10]at least a man.

[80:13]There's kind of mood music.

[80:14]It's at soundscapes.

[80:16]Exactly.

[80:17]But it's not,

[80:19]it's not meant to be album music.

[80:22]If that makes sense.

[80:23]It's meant to be live music.

[80:24]It's,

[80:24]it's not meant to be in the club live by the,

[80:27]by the group kind of a thing.

[80:28]It's on an album so that it can sell and,

[80:31]and all that.

[80:32]And there's a,

[80:33]I,

[80:34]go ahead.

[80:35]Well,

[80:35]it's,

[80:36]it's when you're listening to genres of music like this and,

[80:38]and Matt,

[80:38]you're going to be so glad I interrupted you when you hear how this ends.

[80:41]I think when you're thinking about genres of music like this,

[80:44]that where you're like,

[80:45]you know,

[80:45]I just,

[80:45]it's so much better.

[80:46]This is kind of live music.

[80:47]I always,

[80:48]the album I always put on is the dolphins lament.

[80:50]That's my favorite.

[80:54]I don't know.

[80:57]I don't know that album.

[80:58]What album is that?

[81:00]Can we pull that one up?

[81:01]Hear a song out of that?

[81:02]Okay.

[81:02]Dolphins lament,

[81:03]of course,

[81:03]is a song off their album that I can't actually remember.

[81:06]I,

[81:09]this,

[81:09]see,

[81:09]Russell,

[81:10]I do think this is kind of fun.

[81:11]Would I ever tell my Alexa to play this song?

[81:13]No,

[81:13]but this sounds like men at work.

[81:17]I love it.

[81:20]Wow.

[81:20]This next one called short circuit.

[81:22]I mean,

[81:23]Aaron,

[81:23]does this remind you of Ruby Hancock?

[81:24]Or what?

[81:25]Yeah,

[81:26]we're going to get to her being cocked soon.

[81:27]We're going to hear head enters soon.

[81:29]Oh,

[81:29]that'll be fun.

[81:30]Yeah.

[81:30]This is like jazz fusion and funk stuff.

[81:32]It's nice.

[81:33]This song,

[81:35]John Hancock.

[81:36]This song shorts.

[81:38]This,

[81:38]I looked it up in the song.

[81:39]Short circuit is about when an experimental range of military robots is hit by lightning.

[81:44]It's given consciousness.

[81:45]It escapes from the military and befriends a young woman,

[81:48]Stephanie Speck.

[81:49]It's creator,

[81:50]Newton Crosby is desperate to find it or the entire project might be scrapped.

[81:54]Johnny five is alive and just like me when I was watching Star Trek,

[82:00]Russ needs more data.

[82:02]You know what I mean?

[82:03]Rob,

[82:04]I take,

[82:04]I've never seen Star Trek.

[82:06]I know we've had this conversation,

[82:08]so you don't get my dad a joke.

[82:10]You don't get my Vulcans oral sex joke.

[82:11]You don't get any of this stuff.

[82:12]Actually,

[82:14]Vulcans,

[82:14]it would be digital love because it's the digital love.

[82:19]Yeah,

[82:20]because it's with the Vulcans.

[82:21]I,

[82:21]well,

[82:21]again,

[82:22]I'm doing Star Trek bits with Russell.

[82:23]I don't know why I'm doing this,

[82:24]but face to face.

[82:26]Okay.

[82:27]This is,

[82:28]this is using more of a distinctive cutup production style.

[82:31]This has over 20 uncredited samples.

[82:34]And here's the crazy thing about this.

[82:36]This is still on streaming.

[82:37]How they got away with it.

[82:38]I,

[82:39]maybe it's just samples of people who don't care or Aaron.

[82:43]It is possible.

[82:44]And I don't want to get anybody fired up,

[82:45]but maybe there's just such a big conglomerate that they're just licensing

[82:48]stuff to itself and then writing it off on their taxes.

[82:50]But that'd be crazy.

[82:52]That'd be crazy.

[82:52]They're doing something like that.

[82:54]However,

[82:54]this did get to the number one spot on the billboard.

[82:58]Now listen to this,

[82:59]Russell,

[83:00]the billboard hot dance club playlist.

[83:04]And that made me think of,

[83:06]I'd never heard that before.

[83:07]So you know what?

[83:08]I've got a little list of songs that were number one on the hot dance club

[83:14]play billboard list.

[83:16]This is a chart.

[83:17]I know you guys are excited.

[83:19]I'm not thinking about how long this episode is.

[83:21]This chart was,

[83:23]it came out weekly between 1976 and 2020 Aaron.

[83:27]Yeah.

[83:27]It was based on club disc jockeys.

[83:31]How many times they played certain songs.

[83:33]So the more it's a crazy,

[83:34]we're talking about clubs because the more often the song was played in clubs,

[83:37]the higher it went on this chart.

[83:38]These are the songs that had the most weeks at number one on the hot dance

[83:45]club playlist.

[83:45]Okay.

[83:46]Now first honorable mention.

[83:47]I mean,

[83:47]dance are hot.

[83:48]You start dancing.

[83:49]You get sweaty.

[83:50]Oh yeah.

[83:53]You should have more cold dance clubs.

[83:55]Yeah.

[83:55]God,

[83:57]it's fucking here.

[83:58]Russell.

[83:58]Yeah.

[83:58]All right.

[83:59]Listen,

[83:59]they're playing foreigner.

[84:00]I would be a better,

[84:01]I would be a way better dancer if they were cold dance clubs where I didn't

[84:05]have to worry about like sweating through a shirt.

[84:07]You go into a cold dance club.

[84:08]Vanilla ice is playing.

[84:09]I'm rocking it.

[84:11]Yeah.

[84:11]I mean,

[84:12]it's perfect.

[84:12]Aaron,

[84:13]who else?

[84:13]What other song would they play to cold dance club?

[84:15]Snow.

[84:16]Ice tea.

[84:16]Informer.

[84:17]Oh,

[84:18]my God.

[84:19]You guys are so good.

[84:21]You guys are so,

[84:23]so good.

[84:23]Okay.

[84:24]And I'm not trying to think of one right now.

[84:26]Instead of moving the show on freedom of mention about coolio.

[84:30]Did you guys know?

[84:31]Nice.

[84:32]Wow.

[84:33]Did you guys know that the village people have an eponymous song?

[84:39]No,

[84:41]I didn't know that.

[84:42]The village people have a song called the village people.

[84:46]And it was the sixth,

[84:48]the most popular.

[84:49]It spent seven weeks at number one.

[84:52]I don't know.

[84:53]A lot of these listen to this.

[84:54]Oh,

[84:54]no,

[84:54]this is YMCA.

[84:55]They have a song called village people.

[84:57]Now listen to this.

[84:58]It's a song that just describes them.

[85:00]I like how they took the song and they're like,

[85:10]you know what we're going to do?

[85:11]Let's slow it down.

[85:12]Let's slow it way down.

[85:13]This was on the dance club.

[85:14]Russell Aaron.

[85:15]Can you imagine going to a club and trying to dance to this?

[85:17]Nightmare.

[85:19]I do love this album.

[85:21]I do love the album cover though.

[85:23]It's just a bunch of guys in leather on motorcycles with one native American

[85:26]chief way in the back.

[85:27]That's fine.

[85:28]Bad girls.

[85:32]This spent seven weeks.

[85:35]Listen to the whistles.

[85:36]Oh yeah.

[85:37]Summer wrote bad girls after one of her bandmates was picked up for being,

[85:44]uh,

[85:45]they accused of being a prostitute by the police.

[85:47]Oh,

[85:47]they thought you were one of those bad girls.

[85:50]Russell,

[85:52]did you ever,

[85:53]did you ever date any bad girls?

[85:54]Hmm.

[85:56]Like that went to prison or what?

[85:59]What are we talking about?

[86:00]Russell,

[86:03]if they went to prison,

[86:04]I need to know every detail about their stay.

[86:06]One of the baddest things I ever went out.

[86:08]Um,

[86:08]I think this is the last time we went out was a lady who we went to dinner and

[86:12]we went to the West end.

[86:14]That's off of like over off like a hundred over in that area too.

[86:18]South of three 94 North of a Cedar Lake road.

[86:21]Yeah.

[86:22]I think so.

[86:23]I'm not playing this over there.

[86:24]But so we go to dinner,

[86:25]they're sitting there.

[86:26]This is,

[86:27]I believe I told you guys this one.

[86:28]She's,

[86:28]this was the lady who sent everything back.

[86:30]It's like everything on her plate that came out,

[86:33]it's got sent back individually.

[86:35]It wasn't one time.

[86:36]This,

[86:36]Hey,

[86:36]this is it's everything back on the same date.

[86:39]She said there was a car that was parked near the line.

[86:42]So what she did was she turned her car around and backed in right up next to

[86:47]the line so she could get out,

[86:48]but the other person could not get back in their car.

[86:50]Oh,

[86:51]wow.

[86:51]And I was like,

[86:53]I can't,

[86:53]I can't go out with this lady.

[86:54]You were a bad girl.

[86:56]It's a bad girl.

[86:57]Russell's having to tuck his boner in the waistband.

[87:00]I love people that do that parking shit.

[87:04]Oh,

[87:04]that's so good.

[87:05]So that spent seven weeks at the top.

[87:08]Now listen,

[87:09]you thought there were some whistles.

[87:10]There's going to be some more whistles later in 1978 at a song that sent

[87:13]seven weeks on the top of the hot dance chart.

[87:15]Lay freak.

[87:17]Niles Rogers.

[87:18]Of course on guitar who later won a Grammy,

[87:23]with Daft Punk for get lucky.

[87:24]He played guitar and get lucky.

[87:25]Oh,

[87:26]this song was about them getting denied access to studio 54.

[87:30]You know what?

[87:31]This song was originally titled,

[87:32]but fuck off.

[87:34]They sang it as fuck off.

[87:36]Oh,

[87:37]that's nice.

[87:37]This song fucking rocks.

[87:41]Uh,

[87:43]then guys,

[87:44]what song spent more than lay freak on the hot dance club charts.

[87:49]Gotta be zombie nation.

[87:50]It's chic again.

[87:52]Again,

[87:52]the song dance,

[87:53]dance,

[87:54]dance.

[87:54]Yowza yowza.

[87:55]Listen to these whistles.

[87:56]Oh,

[88:00]Oh,

[88:01]you know what it was?

[88:04]I know what I wanted to show you guys with the song I need to show you.

[88:08]And I know what's going along and I'm so sorry,

[88:09]but you got to see the album cover of this.

[88:13]Look at the album cover.

[88:14]Nice.

[88:16]Just two women with whistles in their mouths looking at you.

[88:20]It's one of the hottest things.

[88:22]I've ever seen in my entire life.

[88:24]Can you imagine if they were like walking towards you and all you had is a video of them walking towards you?

[88:29]Rob's tick tock.

[88:30]He's just going to make me climb a rope Russell.

[88:34]I'm going right up that bad boy.

[88:36]You know what I mean?

[88:37]What was your,

[88:38]do you guys have any gym memories?

[88:40]Like traumatic gym memories?

[88:41]Rope was one for me for sure.

[88:43]The pegboard.

[88:44]Oh,

[88:44]you had to like stab the pegboard.

[88:46]Oh my God.

[88:46]Like that movie.

[88:47]I got thrown out of gym class once during bowling.

[88:50]Cause we broke up bowling ball in half.

[88:51]And then my mom was,

[88:52]I was volunteering at school that day.

[88:54]So I got thrown out of gym class and walked straight into my mom.

[88:56]I've got to,

[88:57]I have to just give me a second here.

[88:59]I've got to do this.

[89:00]I had to stop the music.

[89:02]Aaron,

[89:03]what the hell are you talking about?

[89:06]You're talking about bowling during gym class.

[89:09]What kind of messed up shit is this?

[89:11]We did bowling in the,

[89:12]we bowled during gym class.

[89:13]Yeah,

[89:13]of course we did.

[89:14]Oh,

[89:15]I'm the only guy not bowling.

[89:17]Oh,

[89:17]Rob,

[89:18]Rob's social circle was probably playing polo instead.

[89:22]Yeah.

[89:22]I was going to say,

[89:24]didn't you guys ever play paddle tennis?

[89:25]I don't know.

[89:26]That's not kidding.

[89:29]My country club did have a paddle tennis court.

[89:31]So you guys all went bowling during gym.

[89:35]Yeah.

[89:36]Yeah.

[89:36]In high school,

[89:37]we got on a bus.

[89:37]They taught you how to keep the actual score on paper.

[89:41]I'm so jealous.

[89:43]Talk to terms like Brooklyn side.

[89:44]We had the whole gym class.

[89:46]It was bowling.

[89:47]That was,

[89:47]that's what you did every day there.

[89:49]I told,

[89:50]I told the story before,

[89:51]but my gym memory,

[89:52]is when I had to go swimming and they made us wear speedos.

[89:55]So I had to wear a red speedo.

[89:57]So it was,

[89:57]and I had a friend who found out that I have very sensitive skin.

[90:00]So every day he would five-star me,

[90:02]which involves slapping me as hard as you possibly can.

[90:05]So you can see your hand Mark on my back.

[90:06]And he thought it was very funny.

[90:07]It was pretty funny.

[90:08]In retrospect,

[90:09]I should have pounded his skull to dust.

[90:11]He's now an ER doctor.

[90:12]So let you know that guy is now an ER doctor.

[90:15]Just in case you're wondering next up on the list.

[90:18]And again,

[90:19]I'm so sorry,

[90:20]but we can't stop the list.

[90:21]Once it's done,

[90:22]you know what I mean?

[90:22]If I,

[90:23]it stings.

[90:25]If I,

[90:25]yeah,

[90:26]if you try to start the list,

[90:27]I could actually do a lot of medical.

[90:28]Sometimes you need to finish the list.

[90:30]Change night.

[90:32]This has nine weeks.

[90:33]This is the second most longest on the club.

[90:35]This is change a lover's holiday.

[90:37]I've never heard the song in my life.

[90:39]It's good though.

[90:45]This is Italian American post disco group was formed by two

[90:52]businessmen here.

[90:53]This is literally like businessmen being like people love disco.

[90:57]We're going to do it.

[90:58]Mama Mia.

[90:59]This song is a spicy meatball.

[91:01]And then of course blowing that out of the water,

[91:05]11 weeks on the hot dance club charts.

[91:09]Oh,

[91:13]this blower all out of the water.

[91:15]That's right.

[91:15]Can you imagine going to a club and hearing the song?

[91:18]Like when it first came out,

[91:19]be fucking awesome.

[91:20]Yeah.

[91:22]They're probably like extended dance.

[91:23]Great.

[91:28]And guys,

[91:30]that's the top number of weeks that song spent on the hot club dance chart.

[91:33]So how long was this album up there?

[91:38]The song up there.

[91:39]This song was up there for,

[91:42]Oh,

[91:43]it just made the top of the list.

[91:45]I had never heard of it before,

[91:46]but it's a different type of music than all the disco ones you just played.

[91:49]So it's kind of a cool accomplishment,

[91:51]right?

[91:52]It's true.

[91:52]Yeah,

[91:52]totally it.

[91:53]And then finally a song about my dong.

[91:56]I wrote too long.

[91:58]And after what I said earlier about a guy with a long penis,

[92:02]never saying it,

[92:03]it feels kind of like,

[92:03]this is a strange way to end the album,

[92:07]but

[92:07]all right,

[92:10]folks,

[92:11]that's it for Daft Punk discovery.

[92:13]Guys,

[92:15]let's get into the very popular and very patented rating system.

[92:18]And now it's time for,

[92:21]everybody's favorite part of the show,

[92:23]because it's the end.

[92:24]The very popular Beck did it better.

[92:28]This album is from 2001,

[92:31]but is it a,

[92:34]don't say space odyssey,

[92:35]Rob,

[92:36]don't say it,

[92:36]but will this take the face out of me?

[92:43]Nailed it.

[92:44]Where is this?

[92:45]Does this belong at two 36 on the list?

[92:48]Okay.

[92:49]If it does,

[92:49]that would be a rolling well-toned.

[92:51]It's,

[92:51]it's perfect on the list.

[92:52]You know what?

[92:53]This belongs right before,

[92:54]you know,

[92:54]what's worse than this Willie Nelson,

[92:56]you know,

[92:56]what's better than this Metallica.

[92:58]This list makes sense.

[92:59]It's not slowly driving me insane.

[93:01]Or do you think this album should be lower on the list?

[93:04]AKA a higher number.

[93:06]That would be a rolling groan.

[93:08]You don't think this belongs so high up on the list.

[93:13]Of course,

[93:14]a lower number.

[93:14]We got to get John doing,

[93:17]doing his groan.

[93:18]So you can put that to the list too.

[93:19]Ready?

[93:20]Hold on.

[93:21]Oh,

[93:22]that's a nice one.

[93:23]Damn.

[93:23]That was a groan.

[93:25]Whoa.

[93:26]Very throaty.

[93:27]Yeah.

[93:27]I know what I do.

[93:29]I had a time machine.

[93:29]If I had a time machine,

[93:34]literally top three would be seen.

[93:35]John spilled that juice bit again.

[93:37]I,

[93:37]if like,

[93:38]if,

[93:39]if,

[93:39]if that happened and I looked down the hall and saw older me,

[93:42]like standing there going like this,

[93:43]I'd be like,

[93:43]yep,

[93:44]I get it.

[93:45]The time machine is like smoke rivets,

[93:47]but the smoke is actually not smoke.

[93:49]It's the dust from that extinguisher spraying,

[93:51]or younger me looks at older me and says,

[93:57]there's a guy that'll never have to have a blood pressure monitor by his

[94:00]computer.

[94:01]Or is this album a rolling boned?

[94:05]Okay.

[94:06]It should it have gotten higher on the list?

[94:08]Hey,

[94:08]this is Daft Punk.

[94:09]This is electronic music.

[94:10]This is how it was.

[94:11]Everybody's introduction.

[94:12]I don't know guys.

[94:13]I can't imagine anybody's going to say that.

[94:16]So I'm just going to stop saying that right now.

[94:17]What do we think?

[94:18]Matt rolling?

[94:19]Well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan discovery.

[94:21]Daft Punk.

[94:22]You know,

[94:22]as we go through this journey,

[94:24]I'm often a hypocrite.

[94:26]I talk out of both sides of my mouth.

[94:28]You know,

[94:28]I don't like the albums that like lead to genres opening up for people and

[94:34]things like that.

[94:34]Like I've said it before,

[94:35]like I understand why something was on the list because it led to X,

[94:39]Y,

[94:40]and Z five,

[94:41]10 years later,

[94:41]things like that.

[94:42]Well,

[94:43]now I'm going to go the opposite.

[94:44]Like this one.

[94:45]I mean,

[94:45]one more time.

[94:47]I think of that one as a more popular song than,

[94:51]harder,

[94:52]better,

[94:52]faster,

[94:52]stronger kind of a deal because all I think about is going to some sort

[94:57]of dance club where they've got house music.

[94:59]And that one is being played every single time I'm there in the early

[95:04]two thousands,

[95:05]if you will.

[95:05]And so I think of this as leading to the,

[95:10]you know,

[95:10]the Avicii's of the world and other house DJs like that,

[95:14]that have just grown this unbelievably large,

[95:18]huge following to all these different,

[95:21]festivals and everything now.

[95:22]So I think this is rolling well,

[95:25]tone to two 36.

[95:26]What I like to listen to Weezer over these guys.

[95:29]Absolutely.

[95:29]But from an album standpoint,

[95:31]I do think there's very influential and I think it belongs somewhere on the

[95:36]list,

[95:36]but I don't know.

[95:38]Does it really belong to their six?

[95:39]Probably not,

[95:39]but I'll just say it's rolling well tone because I do love that.

[95:42]Oh,

[95:44]so good.

[95:45]Aaron rolling,

[95:46]well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown.

[95:48]What do you think?

[95:49]Yeah.

[95:49]Matt makes a lot of good points about what's the proper,

[95:51]what's the proper place for this music and the context for it.

[95:54]For me,

[95:55]I think there are two things.

[95:56]One,

[95:57]I did say,

[95:57]I'm not joking.

[95:58]If I'm going to listen to dance music,

[96:00]I always go to Jamiroquai first.

[96:01]And two,

[96:03]in terms of albums made up of samples,

[96:05]the only other one that I can think of that's similar construction on the

[96:09]list is,

[96:10]is Jay Dilla's donuts.

[96:11]And that's not to like the four hundreds to me,

[96:14]I would rather listen to donuts.

[96:15]So I'm going to give this a rolling grown,

[96:17]but I did enjoy it.

[96:18]And I'll probably come back to it.

[96:19]I just,

[96:21]I just got to have on for Russell's.

[96:22]We'll put a little Napoleon.

[96:24]Oh,

[96:25]so good.

[96:26]John rolling,

[96:27]well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown.

[96:28]What do you think?

[96:29]This is a very clear rolling grown.

[96:31]You have a electronic music on the list and it comes before day rude

[96:37]sandstorm or anything by Moby.

[96:38]These guys aren't it.

[96:40]So Moby's a shit on that bunk.

[96:44]Wow.

[96:46]This doesn't belong here.

[96:47]It's it's five Oh one in my mind.

[96:49]It doesn't belong on the Rolling Stones list.

[96:51]Not all Jamiroquai Napoleon dynamite made this more popular than any of the dance

[96:56]music.

[96:56]So I asked a question earlier about who you guys thought about,

[97:00]uh,

[97:01]listen to this music.

[97:02]My mind,

[97:02]it was Matt cause he is the dance machine.

[97:05]He's got the moves.

[97:06]He's the guy that,

[97:07]that when he starts dancing,

[97:08]everyone clears and gets out of the way and watches his magic.

[97:12]So in my mind,

[97:14]I hear this music and I respect his opinion about this one.

[97:17]And he says,

[97:17]rolling,

[97:19]well-toned,

[97:19]I got to respect that because,

[97:21]he's well more experienced than this.

[97:22]Cause he's got the moves of it.

[97:24]Russell.

[97:26]What do you think?

[97:26]Rolling,

[97:26]well-toned,

[97:27]rolling,

[97:27]boner,

[97:27]rolling,

[97:27]groan,

[97:28]very torn on this.

[97:29]Like I've said before,

[97:30]I have a hard time with electronic music.

[97:32]Cause I don't know what level of talent and what level of skill goes into it.

[97:36]Cause there,

[97:37]I know this is a horrible thing to say.

[97:39]There is part of me that thinks one of us could fuck around on a computer for a

[97:44]few days and come up with something that is a reasonable facsimile,

[97:48]like a very close repetition of that.

[97:51]Where I know I could never say like Aretha or play the guitar,

[97:55]like Jeff Beck or any,

[97:57]so I'm having a hard time with that.

[97:59]But on the other hand,

[98:01]it is a big part of music.

[98:03]And like electronic music is a huge deal.

[98:06]If,

[98:06]if aliens came to earth and said,

[98:07]Hey,

[98:07]give us your 500 albums.

[98:09]You probably have to have some sort of electronic album on the list,

[98:13]right?

[98:13]It gets the whole list.

[98:14]We can't have none of it on the list.

[98:16]And so John had mentioned Moby,

[98:18]I believe some other,

[98:20]so,

[98:21]if someone's going to be on their chemical brothers,

[98:25]Moby fat boy,

[98:26]slim prodigy,

[98:28]maybe like who's going to be on there.

[98:29]I think if someone's going to be on there,

[98:31]it's gotta be Daft Punk.

[98:32]But I was looking at Rolling Stone,

[98:34]put out a list of the best EDM albums ever.

[98:37]Daft Punk was number one,

[98:38]but not this album.

[98:40]They had homework.

[98:41]Number one,

[98:42]the same magazine that put homework,

[98:44]which I believe has around the world on it,

[98:46]Rob.

[98:46]So good.

[98:47]But the other one that we were missing that we didn't get to talk about,

[98:51]number eight on that EDM list is a band called Basement Jacks.

[98:56]What are they referring to with Basement Jacks,

[98:58]Rob?

[98:59]It's what you're doing right now.

[99:02]Is it basement?

[99:04]Do you think Basement Jacks ever got an MTV?

[99:06]Cause that would be wild.

[99:07]Wouldn't it?

[99:08]I mean,

[99:08]Hey,

[99:09]Hey,

[99:09]in my country,

[99:11]Basement Jacks off MTV basement.

[99:14]Okay,

[99:15]wait,

[99:16]look up Basement Jacks,

[99:17]album cover remedy.

[99:21]Just look it up.

[99:22]Okay.

[99:23]I'll do it right now.

[99:24]Basement Jacks remedy cover.

[99:28]Let me look,

[99:30]let me look right now.

[99:32]Oh yeah.

[99:34]This one right here.

[99:35]What is happening here?

[99:36]Wow.

[99:37]Yep.

[99:38]That's a good one.

[99:38]Yep.

[99:39]Okay.

[99:40]And now,

[99:41]and now Russell holds it up.

[99:42]Russell,

[99:43]you know what this album is?

[99:43]It's pretty perverted,

[99:44]unfortunately.

[99:45]I was going to say this.

[99:47]Let me just say one thing.

[99:49]Go ahead.

[99:50]You know, before,

[99:51]Russell,

[99:51]I,

[99:52]I used to think about what you said about like,

[99:54]we could just do,

[99:55]I used to think that about like jazz music,

[99:57]like how the hell is,

[99:58]you know,

[99:59]any of these guys like,

[100:01]you know,

[100:02]they're just,

[100:03]they're just blowing into their horns and doing whatever.

[100:05]Right?

[100:06]Like,

[100:07]I think it's absolutely a valid point because I think everybody at some point

[100:11]thinks,

[100:12]oh,

[100:13]we'll just go make some,

[100:14]some stuff and go from there.

[100:15]And somehow the cream of the cop rises to the top.

[100:18]You gotta be the best at it.

[100:20]Because a pig is a cop,

[100:21]the cream of the crop rises to the top.

[100:25]And so I think it's an absolute valid point,

[100:27]but when you,

[100:29]when you put everything together,

[100:30]like there are just people who are just way better at it and,

[100:33]and come up and they have a,

[100:34]they have a new,

[100:36]there's an Avicii.

[100:37]He just died,

[100:39]you know,

[100:40]a couple of years ago,

[100:41]last year there was a Netflix documentary about Avicii.

[100:44]I think you should go watch it,

[100:45]Russell.

[100:46]I know you like documentaries.

[100:47]Just to hear about how he came up and he's like this 18 year old,

[100:50]who's just kicking the shit out of all these other guys,

[100:52]you know,

[100:53]in,

[100:54]in popularity and stuff like that,

[100:55]how he got there just to try to understand a little bit,

[100:57]if you're bored and want a good,

[100:58]but there is nothing better for people who like to dance than just going to

[101:03]a deep,

[101:04]dark basement and having all those lights and having just these big

[101:09]speakers blowing house music,

[101:12]you know,

[101:12]right into your soul kind of a thing.

[101:14]And that's where this comes out.

[101:15]And until you have that experience,

[101:17]it's really,

[101:17]and same thing with like until you have some like jazz,

[101:20]or you go to like a guns and roses concert or Metallica concert,

[101:23]until you have that experience,

[101:25]it's really hard to like really get it.

[101:27]And so,

[101:28]but I used to think the exact same thing.

[101:30]So I don't think,

[101:30]I think it's an absolutely valid point,

[101:32]but it's completely wrong.

[101:33]I will also say though,

[101:35]I think this is really well toned.

[101:38]I,

[101:38]it's not my favorite,

[101:39]but there has to be,

[101:41]we can't,

[101:41]you can't do a list of 500 albums and have nothing from an

[101:45]electronic music standpoint.

[101:47]And when,

[101:48]if I look at the list,

[101:49]if it's not Daft Punk,

[101:49]I don't know who it could be.

[101:50]So I think it's probably a little high,

[101:52]but it's gotta be on the list somewhere.

[101:54]And I'm happy it's on the list.

[101:55]And I actually think I will come back and listen to this

[101:58]again.

[101:59]So I'm going to say it's rolling well toned,

[102:00]even though it's not my favorite style of music.

[102:03]Well,

[102:03]you gotta get some like David Guetta and some of you gotta

[102:05]get some of the newer stuff that that's,

[102:07]that's kind of around.

[102:09]I got you a little bit after this,

[102:10]because this is,

[102:11]this stuff's getting a little dated from just because of technology.

[102:14]There's also part of me too.

[102:15]And Aaron talked about the sampling,

[102:16]like this is all sampling.

[102:18]There's like,

[102:19]where's the original part of this?

[102:22]It's just mixing all this other stuff together.

[102:25]Well,

[102:26]the original,

[102:27]I mean,

[102:27]I think again,

[102:28]and I don't,

[102:29]I don't want to keep delaying this and I don't know why

[102:31]my camera kicked out.

[102:31]Sorry guys.

[102:32]I know why.

[102:33]Yeah.

[102:34]Yeah.

[102:35]Nope.

[102:36]Hey,

[102:36]but where it all comes from is you have an album playing

[102:40]in a dance club and how do you improve on that album in

[102:42]the dance club is you put a,

[102:43]you know,

[102:44]you roll right into the next one.

[102:45]Well,

[102:46]then you go back and forth and now you've got two songs

[102:48]playing together and you know,

[102:49]it's just,

[102:50]it's building on top of each other to what it is today

[102:53]where,

[102:54]you know,

[102:54]it's just like rap back in the early eighties using all

[102:58]the sampling.

[102:58]And how do you,

[102:59]you've got these awesome beats and now you're just changing

[103:02]the lyrics that are over them,

[103:03]things like that.

[103:04]So it's just a,

[103:05]it's an evolution of over time.

[103:07]And it just turns into what it is today.

[103:10]And I know a lot of people out there are like,

[103:12]oh,

[103:12]I could do a podcast.

[103:13]What I just sit with my friends and talk about college

[103:15]that most people aren't going to understand.

[103:17]But these guys that actually,

[103:18]most of our listeners are going to think,

[103:19]I think it was one of the greatest episodes we've ever

[103:21]done.

[103:21]No,

[103:22]you couldn't do this because you have to have somebody,

[103:25]you have to have somebody pay the podcast company to host

[103:29]it.

[103:30]And I don't know anybody who's possibly made enough money

[103:32]to do something like that.

[103:33]Unfortunately,

[103:37]you guys are incorrect.

[103:39]Okay.

[103:39]This gets a rolling repetition.

[103:42]I feel like this album is so repetitious.

[103:46]It just repeats the same thing over and over.

[103:48]I mean,

[103:49]it just repeats the same thing over and over again and does it again and again and again.

[103:51]And the noises just seem to repeat and it just seems to be the same thing over and over.

[103:56]And I would say if I know one thing about this album,

[103:58]it's just like the same thing over and over again.

[104:00]To me.

[104:01]It's like you're doing the same thing over and over.

[104:02]Well,

[104:03]no,

[104:04]Russell,

[104:05]I wouldn't say that.

[104:06]Next up,

[104:07]what do I call it when I,

[104:08]oh,

[104:09]okay.

[104:10]I read out on this one.

[104:11]I'm not going to lie.

[104:12]I read ahead.

[104:13]Now I'm just going to tell you the next album is called the redheaded stranger.

[104:14]Now I'm just going to tell you the next album is called the redheaded stranger.

[104:15]Now I'm just going to tell you the next album is called the redheaded stranger.

[104:16]Now I'm just going to tell you the next album is called the redheaded stranger.

[104:19]Now I just want you to dig deep into your brain,

[104:22]go way deep into your brain and guess what I made a joke about.

[104:25]Guess what Rob a week ago thought was funny.

[104:28]Sitting on his hand.

[104:29]What do I call it when I sit on my hand and then jack off?

[104:34]The redheaded stranger by Willie Nelson.

[104:37]And then I did write more like Willie in my Palmson.

[104:42]That doesn't even make sense.

[104:45]That's awesome.

[104:46]Willie in my Palmson.

[104:47]I have often thought I should say let's go clubbing one night in Vegas.

[104:48]But one,

[104:49]I don't want to go hang out with clubbing people in Vegas,

[104:50]but I think it'd be super fun.

[104:51]Go clubbing.

[104:52]Did it better.

[104:53]That gives me pause.

[104:54]I'm not going to lie.

[104:55]I took a guess to it.

[104:56]I just,

[104:57]I don't want to wait in line.

[104:58]I don't want to go hang out with all the beautiful people who are like putting on like $500 shirts

[105:15]to go clubbing.

[105:16]We went to the cheap club.

[105:17]I just want some loud speakers playing house music.

[105:21]We went to that spot at 99 Prince, the cheap one.

[105:24]That was winning at blackjack and didn't join.

[105:27]No, I didn't.

[105:28]When you guys talk about clubbing in St. Olaf, we're going to 1000% have to cut this out.

[105:33]There can't even be a question.

[105:38]It reminds me of our friend from Owatonna and his style of clubbing.

[105:42]I don't know if you guys remember this.

[105:43]His style of clubbing down in Owatonna was they would get up and go clubbing.

[105:44]Oh my God.

[105:45]His style of clubbing down in Owatonna was they would get out a big spotlight, shine

[105:48]amongst animals like raccoons, and then chase them down and hit them with a club.

[105:53]That was the state of the clubbing that I remember.

[105:54]That was clubbing.

[105:55]I'm going to edit that to being at work.

[105:56]Just in case anybody is thinking like, oh, why are the Kosso elite?

[105:57]Why do they think they're so much better than the Midwest?

[105:58]That story is case A1.

[105:59]Number one.

[106:00]Number two.

[106:01]Number three.

[106:02]Number three.

[106:03]Number four.
