Kraftwerk: Trans-Europe Express (1977)

[00:00]Can you write down this idea for me?

[00:01]Give it to me later.

[00:02]Nutflix.

[00:03]Nutflix.

[00:05]Hear me out.

[00:07]It would be like a site where, I don't know, maybe adult movies are categorized.

[00:13]I cannot believe that there's not already a site like this.

[00:15]Maybe you should check, Rob.

[00:16]Let's see.

[00:17]It's just like an old man drying off his balls while eating a bunch of types of nuts in the gym.

[00:24]Hey, hand me those cashews, dude.

[00:30]Nutflix is spelled like Nutflix.

[00:33]Like somebody's flicking your nuts, you know?

[00:34]Just a little bit.

[00:36]Reddit says, a bold new monthly subscription.

[00:39]I think I've told you guys this.

[00:41]Have I told you that the complimentary movie guys are guys that are tally-whacked guys in the nuts?

[00:47]They'll hit each other in the nuts on purpose.

[00:49]Still?

[00:49]In our 40s?

[00:51]I would lose my shit.

[00:54]Yeah, Russell, they know better than to do that to Russell.

[00:57]I would lose my shit.

[00:58]Yeah, that's not it, Russell.

[01:00]Plus, your nuts are so big, Russell.

[01:02]That's something everybody knows about you.

[01:03]That's a common.

[01:04]That's just something we say and everybody knows.

[01:07]Russell, big nuts.

[01:08]Big nuts.

[01:09]On Nutflix now.

[01:10]Tell me you get a Nutflix live.

[01:12]Big balls in Cowtown.

[01:13]What song are we going to play first?

[01:15]Parody song?

[01:17]Can I just tell you?

[01:18]Let's play the Dazed and Confused.

[01:20]Aaron.

[01:21]Whatever the first song is.

[01:23]I know what you're saying, Aaron.

[01:25]That I'm not going to have a parody song.

[01:27]Okay?

[01:27]I heard that tone of your voice.

[01:28]I was asking.

[01:30]Rude.

[01:30]Rude.

[01:31]Okay?

[01:32]You don't have it again?

[01:33]It's a tough one.

[01:34]Did I work especially hard on this parody song?

[01:36]No.

[01:36]Okay?

[01:37]But I still worked on it.

[01:38]I'm impressed.

[01:39]All right?

[01:39]You are going to hear this.

[01:42]This is going to be our number one Sprechensy Deutsch podcast.

[01:46]Okay?

[01:47]You're going to hear some of my German.

[01:48]Of course, I am famous on family vacations for being a fun guy.

[01:53]Okay?

[01:53]I'm not just angry dad all the time.

[01:55]Okay?

[01:55]I am also a fun guy.

[01:56]Get fun food.

[01:57]Mushrooms.

[01:58]Bacon jokes.

[01:59]Boss.

[01:59]Well.

[02:00]Here's the thing.

[02:00]When I'm in Germany, I just say words that sound like German.

[02:05]Oh, they love that.

[02:06]Okay?

[02:06]Like, let's say I'm crossing the street.

[02:09]Walking across the street.

[02:11]It makes sense.

[02:13]Aaron, what else would I be doing in Germany?

[02:16]You'd be essen.

[02:17]No, you tell me in English.

[02:21]See, you suck at it.

[02:21]You tell me in English and I'll translate.

[02:23]You'd be eating sausage.

[02:23]Oh.

[02:24]Oh, yeah.

[02:25]Chomping schnitzel.

[02:27]See, I mean, you know what I'm talking about.

[02:29]You know what I'm talking about.

[02:29]You know what I'm talking about.

[02:29]You know what I'm talking about.

[02:30]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided

[02:34]by Rolling Stone Magazine.

[02:35]This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us

[02:39]to making this podcast.

[02:40]We are far from experts.

[02:41]We promise to do almost no research.

[02:42]All opinions are our own unless you disagree.

[02:44]Please sit back and enjoy.

[02:46]Beck did it better.

[02:48]This week, we are up to album 287.

[02:50]And from 1977, we've got Kraftwerk.

[02:54]Or as they say online, what?

[02:57]287?

[02:58]238.

[02:59]Rob, if you could please get it right in the written records, that would be great.

[03:03]247?

[03:03]Hey, who's ever making our wiki and hasn't quite posted it online yet, just to let you

[03:08]know, this is 238, okay?

[03:09]So please get it correct.

[03:10]And we have from 1977, we have Kraftwerk.

[03:14]Kraftwerk.

[03:15]With Trans Europa Express.

[03:17]Well, I got on the Trans Europa Local.

[03:21]It's making so many stops.

[03:23]I mean, I mean, it's...

[03:24]Sounds nice, Rob.

[03:25]But let's, you know what?

[03:26]Now that we're on the, now that we're on the training,

[03:29]sitting in a car and, you know, caboosing or whatever.

[03:31]A cafe car and eating and training.

[03:35]I mean, guys, the, I, Duolingo, thank you.

[03:38]I actually did do German on Duolingo for a while.

[03:41]It could be nine poem.

[03:43]If I ever need to say I'm an apple, now I know how to do it.

[03:46]We're on the train.

[03:47]Unfortunately, we've all got on the Trans Siberian Express.

[03:49]It's a totally different band.

[03:51]All right, we got to get back on the Trans Europa Express.

[03:53]I grabbed the wrong ticket.

[03:54]But let's go over and turn on the radio and see what could possibly play for a German,

[03:59]Elektronica band.

[04:00]And guess what?

[04:00]Aaron, actually, it doesn't matter because this is,

[04:02]this episode is going to get about two downloads.

[04:04]I can just tell you that right now.

[04:05]I'm not worried about how this does.

[04:07]You know, we're getting old when Matt has to put on his readers to

[04:10]hold his bishop when he's playing 4D chess.

[04:13]Can you imagine?

[04:16]Can you?

[04:17]I just actually, Russell, that's a great point.

[04:20]That's a great point.

[04:21]You know what I'm going to do?

[04:22]I think I'm going to do this as soon as the school year is done

[04:25]and I have some time on my hands.

[04:26]I'm going to masturbate and,

[04:29]I'm going to look at it.

[04:29]You know what I mean?

[04:30]I'm going to look at it at the same time.

[04:32]I'm just going to be dialed in.

[04:34]That's going to be tough.

[04:36]That's going to be tough because I guess I'm going to bet I don't like what I see.

[04:41]You know what I mean?

[04:42]That's a good bet.

[04:43]I bet there's a lot going on down there.

[04:44]Like the sandworm from Star Wars.

[04:49]I mean, I, listen, I, I would guess it doesn't look great.

[04:52]Well, I guess there's the.

[04:54]We're not doing that topic again.

[04:56]We can't do that topic more times than.

[04:59]So here's the deal.

[05:00]Let's turn on the radio.

[05:01]Let's see what's on.

[05:02]Here we go.

[05:03]Has your wife ever texted friends about something you've done?

[05:05]You think.

[05:06]I think she texted somebody when they found that box of Boston baked beans in the bed.

[05:12]I think that was a text to somebody.

[05:15]That's about it.

[05:17]Otherwise, no.

[05:18]Because I'm perfect.

[05:19]Divorce lawyer.

[05:20]Oh, wait a minute.

[05:24]Why am I on this text chain?

[05:29]All right.

[05:30]Wait, why is that guy from the gym called the divorce lawyer?

[05:33]God, I almost texted the chain with my girlfriend on it.

[05:35]That was close.

[05:36]I thought you were cheating.

[05:38]This is way worse.

[05:39]Yeah, this is.

[05:40]Hey, well, you know, Russell, that's the thing.

[05:42]One out of three Americans cheat.

[05:43]Is it?

[05:44]So, yeah.

[05:45]Well, I'm not sure if it's my wife or my girlfriend, but I'm keeping my eyes on.

[05:49]I mean, all right, let's turn on the radio.

[05:52]What's that?

[05:55]What is cheating anyway?

[05:56]Yeah.

[05:58]I would.

[05:58]I also say anytime I always know that something bad is happening when I'm like, oh, I wouldn't

[06:02]tell my wife about this.

[06:03]That's when I know that something has gone.

[06:05]When was the last time that happened?

[06:07]Yeah.

[06:07]Hmm.

[06:09]Well, pretty much.

[06:10]She's not listening.

[06:11]Pretty much every day at work for the last year.

[06:13]Like I started telling her a story about work the other day and I was like, oh, what am

[06:18]I doing?

[06:18]She doesn't care.

[06:19]I don't care.

[06:21]Nobody cares about this.

[06:22]Listen, let's turn on the radio.

[06:28]Listen, let's turn on the radio.

[06:58]I did it better.

[07:00]Wow.

[07:02]If you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time.

[07:07]That was impressive, Rob.

[07:08]That was my intro written in German because I know we have more international fans.

[07:12]I get it.

[07:13]If you want to hear more guys who chat and then they get off.

[07:19]I don't know.

[07:20]Put this one on the back end too.

[07:21]I've got a perfect podcast for you.

[07:23]I mean, it's impressive, Rob.

[07:25]I did it better.

[07:26]Listen, it's the most erudite.

[07:28]Well, you like that one of the theme song.

[07:30]Oh, well, thank you.

[07:31]It's very good.

[07:32]And if you ever want to say excreta, the order in German, just listen to that back.

[07:36]You know, you'll know how to say it.

[07:37]It's a very important phrase.

[07:39]Now I've got three guys here.

[07:41]Okay.

[07:42]Who want to listen to craft work?

[07:45]Well, mistress crushes their balls like they deserve because they're a little shrine in

[07:48]God.

[07:49]Oh, hey, twisted mine scrotum.

[07:51]Right in the dresser drawer.

[07:55]I don't know what it is about thinking about some German woman stepping on my dresser.

[07:58]My balls like ping pong balls under a little heel, but it makes this album make a lot of

[08:03]sense to me.

[08:04]I'll tell you that right now.

[08:04]All of us.

[08:07]What do you, let's say you had an hour with the dominators, right?

[08:11]What would you do?

[08:12]Do you think?

[08:13]Probably have her put me in like demolitions, finish your move.

[08:17]Like I'd have her bend me over her back and have another one come flying off the middle

[08:21]rope, not the top rope.

[08:22]Cause they're too big for that off the middle rope with the elbow, the we'll call it like

[08:27]something like the demolition.

[08:28]Device or something.

[08:29]So it'd actually be a two on one handicap match, Rob.

[08:32]Oh, wow.

[08:33]That's wow.

[08:34]That's I, here's the, I would, I would be like, Hey, do you know, earthquakes finish

[08:38]and move, but speaking of earthquake, but before we get to what Aaron would do with

[08:45]the dominatrix, yes, I was at a record store last week and there was a band called earthquake.

[08:51]Like it was written on one of the things and I went to look, just hoping it would just

[08:56]be like big John Tenta.

[08:58]And like the only song was the, the rumble song.

[09:01]You know what I'm talking about?

[09:02]Is that his earthquake theme song?

[09:05]Is that his entrance music?

[09:06]I think we've played it here before.

[09:07]I know we have played it before.

[09:09]It's so sad.

[09:10]And there's no way we, again, I'm just going to say it.

[09:12]I'm just going to say it again.

[09:15]Earthquake was a wrestler.

[09:18]You knew was going to die very soon.

[09:19]None of it.

[09:20]He did not look like love guys with just one tattoo.

[09:24]Look at that.

[09:25]Just a single tattoo of a tiger.

[09:27]That's baller.

[09:28]It looks a lot like your tattoo, except for it doesn't have, it's true.

[09:32]It doesn't have writing under it.

[09:33]To be clear, I was not being sarcastic.

[09:35]I love the single tattoo.

[09:37]Like I think that's a super cool move.

[09:38]Wow.

[09:40]I, you know what my problem is, Aaron?

[09:42]I told you what I'm going to get for a tattoo.

[09:43]My kids, two names and one of them is slightly smaller.

[09:46]See, that's the problem.

[09:48]To me, it's funny right now.

[09:49]The future Rob, not funny, actually pretty psychologically damaging to my kids.

[09:53]Speaking of demolition in S and M, I did see that they are going to,

[09:58]to be at a local wrestling event up in like an hour North of here at one of

[10:03]the casinos in Wisconsin.

[10:04]I might have to go.

[10:06]You kind of got to go.

[10:07]Sure.

[10:07]John from John for me.

[10:08]How often do you get a chance to live out your S and M fantasy?

[10:11]I mean, can you imagine like you just see two guys unloading shoulder pads

[10:17]from the trunks of their car out in the parking lot?

[10:19]And you're like, that's them.

[10:20]I think that's them.

[10:21]I'm not sure.

[10:22]I can't tell.

[10:22]Technically that's Legion of doom.

[10:24]Oh, these guys just wore like the straps,

[10:28]like the belts.

[10:28]With spikes all over him.

[10:29]It was very like now thinking back, it's like, Oh, it was fully S and M garb.

[10:34]I would say a lot of wrestling is pretty erotic.

[10:38]True.

[10:39]Okay.

[10:39]I was helping clean up my mom's house the other week.

[10:41]My nephew didn't want to keep some of these old wrestling figures.

[10:45]And I kept three of them.

[10:46]Two were the S and M demolition action figures.

[10:49]I would, I would not going to let them be thrown away.

[10:52]That's a PC.

[10:53]Oh yeah.

[10:55]That's a personal collection.

[10:57]Russell.

[10:57]You don't know.

[10:58]It's a PC buddy.

[10:59]Is it, why is their skin orange?

[11:00]Show me again.

[11:02]Or is that just the zoo with little tan?

[11:04]And they do.

[11:05]Yeah.

[11:05]They've been doing that.

[11:06]I would say that's orange.

[11:07]That's big time.

[11:08]Orange.

[11:08]You know, I do think about my kids listening to this podcast, like after I passed and being

[11:13]like, Oh my God.

[11:14]And I just think about that as being like my, you know, what, what people are going to remember

[11:18]by Aaron, what would you have a dominators do if you had an hour with them?

[11:22]I would have a ton of questions, right?

[11:23]I would want to know what's the most, right?

[11:26]Like, wouldn't you want to be like, what's the most boring?

[11:28]With you and your father, you know, tell me about it.

[11:30]Oh my God.

[11:32]Sure.

[11:33]You guys wouldn't want to get like spanked once.

[11:36]I would be like, Hey, just spank me once.

[11:38]Well, why not?

[11:38]Just if I had an hour, like, Hey, can I just take a nap over here?

[11:41]Just you read a book or something.

[11:43]Let's just both.

[11:44]That's just chill.

[11:45]We could both use an hour off.

[11:48]But this is a professional spanker.

[11:50]You don't want to see what one spank from somebody who's like, listen, I've never been

[11:55]spanked by a professional.

[11:56]It's been only amateurs.

[11:58]It's been only amateurs in my life.

[11:59]I think pretty much.

[12:00]Okay.

[12:01]It's like power.

[12:02]So what, what, what constitutes their professionalism, Rob?

[12:07]Like, do they go get a degree in dominatrix?

[12:09]I mean, like, do they, are they certified?

[12:11]Do they work on like, you know, the angle of the slap of your ass?

[12:14]Like, and you know, spread your fingers just a little bit, you know, I'm assuming they're

[12:19]going to like a conference, you know, and there's different workshops and like one is

[12:22]like, you know, uh, paddles cat or nine tails.

[12:26]Should there be 10?

[12:27]You're like, I don't know.

[12:28]I don't know which one I wanted to go to both of these.

[12:29]That's such a bummer.

[12:30]Maybe I can have them send me the PowerPoint from it.

[12:33]You know what I mean?

[12:34]Crush me nuts.

[12:36]And you're like, Oh God, I wanted to go that way too.

[12:38]I think, I think we should take, uh, all of the money from that we make up this podcast

[12:42]and send you to one of those, uh, conferences just to report back on it.

[12:47]Well, you know what, you know, of course, what kind of dominatrix is my all time favorite

[12:50]dominatrix.

[12:51]It's the funniest one is the fin, the fin doming.

[12:53]I've talked to you guys about fin doming before, haven't I?

[12:56]Let's have a refresh.

[12:57]Many times.

[12:58]Many times.

[12:58]Yeah.

[12:59]Fin doming.

[12:59]Fin doming.

[13:01]Of course.

[13:01]No, what is it, Rob?

[13:03]Please tell us what it is.

[13:05]It is, of course, men who I think it is erotic to be forced to spend all their money on women.

[13:10]So women's, there's a bunch of women's Twitters.

[13:13]If you type in hashtag fin dom, where it just says, who's going to buy me lunch?

[13:17]You sick pigs.

[13:17]Like, and you're just like, Oh God, that is kind of hot.

[13:21]I do like that.

[13:21]Let's see.

[13:22]Hashtag sounds a lot like my life.

[13:24]You think you're getting fin domed right now, Rob?

[13:28]Russell?

[13:28]If I had an hour with the dominatrix, I would say, Hey, you should try a gag where you become

[13:35]a dominate Twix and then you force feed people candy bars.

[13:38]Oh my God.

[13:39]Can you imagine?

[13:40]Yes.

[13:41]Peanut butter Twix.

[13:42]That's just a good business idea.

[13:44]Oh my God.

[13:44]You brought peanut butter Twix king size.

[13:46]I can't possibly eat all four.

[13:47]That's good.

[13:48]I can.

[13:48]I would trick her.

[13:49]It'd be a reverse dominatrix.

[13:51]She'd be like, this guy can't possibly eat any more candy bars, but I am.

[13:54]Let's see.

[13:56]Rob, if I was with someone and we went to a gas station,

[13:58]and they bought a single or like a regular Twix,

[14:00]I would be offended by it.

[14:02]Those are so good.

[14:03]You have to, if you have to get the, the, the bigger one,

[14:06]you can't just do the little one.

[14:08]Of course you need two or bars.

[14:09]You have to have four.

[14:10]You know, the only problem with this,

[14:12]you're looking at the Wikipedia for financial domination, right?

[14:16]And it's going into your fin dom thing or whatever.

[14:18]The only problem with this is,

[14:20]is somehow fin dom makes it onto Wikipedia,

[14:22]but the Iowa double down.

[14:24]It's outrageous.

[14:25]I mean, it's outrageous.

[14:27]They have no standards.

[14:28]My son, my son now just taunts me by saying Iowa double down.

[14:31]He doesn't know exactly.

[14:33]He's like, he'll be supposed to be in bed and he'll come out and be like,

[14:35]Hey dad, Iowa double down.

[14:37]You know, you know, the, uh,

[14:39]that class where I had him say Iowa sucks to you in the video,

[14:41]they keep saying that as a punchline now, just randomly.

[14:43]Okay.

[14:44]I know what you're thinking.

[14:45]Middle schoolers taking one joke too far.

[14:47]That's crazy.

[14:48]Yeah.

[14:48]In the financial domination lifestyle,

[14:51]a practice of dominance and submission, financial submission.

[14:53]And here's what they call it.

[14:55]Cash piggy, fin sub, human ATM,

[14:58]uh, pay pig.

[14:59]Okay.

[15:00]So I,

[15:01]I think the idea that I would be a cash piggy,

[15:04]just handing money over to some woman to feel good.

[15:07]Actually,

[15:09]that literally is like parenting.

[15:10]That's exactly what my kids are.

[15:12]I am kind of a cash.

[15:13]My kids are kind of cash piggies for me.

[15:14]Listen,

[15:15]I've got three guys here.

[15:17]Listen,

[15:17]wait, where am I?

[15:18]Oh,

[15:18]I just got GPT.

[15:20]Yes.

[15:21]I would double down is often used as a slang or joke term.

[15:24]They have a few meanings depending down,

[15:28]doubling down on a bad hand.

[15:29]For example,

[15:30]doubling down on something like a hard 12,

[15:32]which is generally a bad idea.

[15:34]Bullshit.

[15:35]You're making that up.

[15:36]Take a picture,

[15:36]send it to the group.

[15:38]The phrase used to,

[15:40]to sarcastically mock a risky or ill-advised bet.

[15:44]Wow.

[15:45]What?

[15:46]Wow.

[15:46]Can I tell you,

[15:47]I didn't hear a word you said.

[15:48]I was still thinking about dominate Twix.

[15:49]I just,

[15:50]I feel like there's just something there.

[15:53]I knew you would.

[15:54]You know what I mean?

[15:54]Although I will say,

[15:56]imagine if you,

[15:56]if your dominators came out and she,

[15:58]you know,

[15:58]had like a bunch of payday bars or nut rolls,

[16:03]salted nut rolls.

[16:03]And she's like,

[16:04]you got to eat like five salted nut rolls.

[16:05]You'd be like,

[16:05]Oh God,

[16:06]you are terrible.

[16:07]Yeah.

[16:08]What's my safe word to get a hard bar?

[16:09]Get me out of here.

[16:10]I'm not,

[16:10]you know,

[16:10]these salted nut rolls.

[16:11]How about hydration?

[16:12]I think I'd go for the dominate.

[16:14]Dominate.

[16:15]What are the,

[16:15]what are we calling this?

[16:16]Dominate kicks,

[16:17]which is just a very bland white lady who just doesn't taste like it.

[16:21]Listen,

[16:22]kick cereal was an all time joke.

[16:26]Wasn't it?

[16:26]Cause it was the same shape as peanut butter.

[16:28]Captain crunch is the same shape as the Reese's cereal.

[16:32]I mean,

[16:32]when I went to a friend's house and they had the Reese's cereal,

[16:35]I was like,

[16:36]how do you not take this to your bedroom and eat it all at night when

[16:39]everybody's sleeping?

[16:40]How are,

[16:40]how is it just out here?

[16:41]Did you guys have friends like that?

[16:42]Where like you'd go into their fridge and they would just have a full

[16:44]size candy bar in the fridge.

[16:45]And you're like,

[16:46]what the fuck is this consultant over here?

[16:48]It was more Rob.

[16:50]I I'm connecting with your cereal thing.

[16:52]I would remember like sleepers and stuff.

[16:53]You wake up and they've got cereal that you'd be like,

[16:55]Oh,

[16:55]we would never have this.

[16:56]Like whether it's good or bad.

[16:58]Like they may have some,

[16:59]you're like,

[16:59]I can't believe they get to have this every day.

[17:01]Or you'd see something like there's who the fuck's eating these grape

[17:05]nuts or whatever it is,

[17:07]you know?

[17:07]Oh,

[17:08]right.

[17:08]Yeah.

[17:08]But yeah,

[17:09]the good ones where it's like,

[17:10]Oh,

[17:10]you just keep cabin crush with crunch berries and your fridge and your

[17:12]cupboard all the time.

[17:14]Yeah.

[17:14]Like I get it like twice a year.

[17:16]That's just it.

[17:17]That's just your regular thing.

[17:18]Or likely you do the opposite.

[17:19]Like when I was slept over my cousin's house and all they had for cereal,

[17:22]literally Russell was grape nuts.

[17:24]And then their milk was in a bag.

[17:26]What?

[17:27]The milk was in a bag.

[17:28]I had to cut a bag and get it out.

[17:30]I was like,

[17:31]this milk doesn't taste as good.

[17:32]I know it's the same.

[17:33]And you don't have them.

[17:36]They don't have somebody delivering their milk to their God.

[17:38]I would actually love it.

[17:39]Okay.

[17:40]So there's a few time machine moments for me.

[17:41]In fact,

[17:42]one of them was coming up soon on live at the Harlem square,

[17:44]but now one of my time machine moments is I would love to go back and

[17:48]watch young Rob cut open a bag of milk,

[17:50]pour it on a cereal and then figure out what to do with the open bag of

[17:54]milk.

[17:55]I don't know.

[17:56]I got this bag of milk.

[17:58]What do I do?

[17:59]I cut the bottom of it.

[18:00]I don't know.

[18:01]I'm just going to drain.

[18:02]I'm just going to drink the whole thing.

[18:04]There's no way I wreck somebody's bathroom when I'm guesting at their

[18:07]house.

[18:07]There's no way I'm going to cause multiple bathroom incidents when I'm

[18:10]a guest at somebody's house.

[18:11]That'd be crazy.

[18:12]And then get their reputation for that.

[18:13]That'd be insane.

[18:14]That would never happen to me.

[18:16]I've got Russell in Minneapolis.

[18:17]Russell,

[18:17]how are you doing?

[18:18]Rob,

[18:22]even the greatest main hosts discover themselves in the looking glass

[18:26]when looking at themselves,

[18:27]what they're looking for.

[18:28]They're looking at themselves in the looking glasses in the mirror.

[18:29]Ooh.

[18:30]Wow.

[18:31]Okay.

[18:32]All right.

[18:33]So that's half the lyrics.

[18:34]I got Matt in Minneapolis.

[18:36]Matt,

[18:36]how are you doing?

[18:36]Good.

[18:38]I didn't know this thing had lyrics.

[18:39]So I'll just say hi,

[18:41]Rob.

[18:41]Thanks for having me.

[18:42]And I've got Aaron out in California.

[18:44]Now,

[18:44]Aaron was recently excited about the new Midwestern Pope,

[18:48]right?

[18:49]We've got a Midwestern Pope.

[18:50]Oh,

[18:50]his name is back.

[18:51]His name is Robert.

[18:52]I want to say,

[18:53]so I feel pretty represented with the new Pope,

[18:55]but I was,

[18:56]I was,

[18:56]I didn't know this,

[18:58]but Aaron,

[18:58]Aaron pointed out,

[18:58]he said,

[18:59]you know,

[18:59]it's strange because women in the Catholic church can't even rise to the

[19:05]rank of Bishop.

[19:06]But yet I noticed women be shopping all the time.

[19:11]So I don't

[19:12]Russell,

[19:17]they can't be a Bishop,

[19:18]but they'd be shopping

[19:19]be shopping.

[19:24]Hey,

[19:27]Leo,

[19:27]Leo,

[19:28]the 15th,

[19:28]you can use that one if you want.

[19:29]Just for the record,

[19:32]Aaron is laughing.

[19:33]I want to be clear about this.

[19:34]He doesn't want to laugh because he knows the joke is offensive.

[19:36]I tried so hard not to laugh.

[19:37]But he has to because he knows it's funny.

[19:38]I tried so hard not to laugh,

[19:40]but that one broke me.

[19:40]Do,

[19:41]do,

[19:42]do,

[19:42]do,

[19:43]do,

[19:43]do,

[19:44]do,

[19:44]do,

[19:45]do,

[19:46]do,

[19:46]do.

[19:46]That's all I can remember from the album.

[19:48]Wow.

[19:48]Let's talk about Klafftwerk.

[19:50]Let's,

[19:51]Aaron,

[19:52]you're good at speaking German.

[19:54]I didn't know that.

[19:54]I was trying to do your accent right.

[19:57]Wow.

[19:58]Listen,

[19:58]tonight we have two voicemails.

[20:00]Okay.

[20:01]We've got one voicemail that was supposed to be for the theme song last week,

[20:04]but I still wanted to play it.

[20:05]Hi guys.

[20:07]It's Ross.

[20:07]Two questions for you.

[20:09]Russ,

[20:10]why do you spell your name wrong?

[20:11]And two,

[20:13]when are you making an honest woman of the upstairs roommate?

[20:15]All right.

[20:16]So that was,

[20:17]that was,

[20:19]they called in late for the song.

[20:21]They kind of,

[20:21]they didn't realize that when I texted people and said,

[20:23]Hey,

[20:23]can you call and leave a voicemail?

[20:24]I meant like in the next three hours.

[20:26]I don't mean like over the next,

[20:28]a couple of days.

[20:28]Like I need this immediately.

[20:29]It's an emergency.

[20:30]Okay.

[20:31]So here's the real voicemail.

[20:33]And I'll just say this right now.

[20:34]We don't have any more voicemails for this.

[20:36]We're out of voicemails.

[20:37]We're desperate for voicemails.

[20:38]Please call.

[20:40]If you're listening to this right now,

[20:41]and I know you're not 802-277-BEC.

[20:43]Call and leave a voicemail.

[20:45]Aaron,

[20:45]what should they leave a voicemail about this week?

[20:47]The,

[20:49]the Pope.

[20:51]No,

[20:52]don't leave a voicemail about the Pope.

[20:53]Leave a voicemail about the Timberwolves.

[20:56]They're going to be up three to one by the time you hear this.

[20:58]How about this?

[20:58]Leave a voicemail where a candy bar is also a dominatrix.

[21:01]You know what I mean?

[21:02]And you would think to yourself,

[21:06]Oh,

[21:06]Rob said this.

[21:07]He would definitely have a joke ready to go.

[21:09]And of course I do.

[21:09]I did get a Bex the other day from a listener who wondered if maybe Matt would want a reverse champion weave sweatshirt that maybe had a Mayak team on it.

[21:19]Yeah.

[21:20]Would you want that,

[21:20]Matt?

[21:20]That does sound like something that's right up your alley.

[21:22]I believe it's four of them right now.

[21:26]A couple of baseball ones,

[21:27]a couple,

[21:28]a tattered one.

[21:29]Yeah.

[21:29]I was told I probably shouldn't be ruining this.

[21:32]And I actually didn't text the person back to confirm whether they should do this or not.

[21:35]But we ever do a live show.

[21:37]If,

[21:37]if there's clothing that's comes flying up at you at the end of the episode,

[21:41]it's not going to be a woman's panties,

[21:43]Matt.

[21:43]Oh,

[21:44]wow.

[21:45]Wow.

[21:45]It's going to be my underwear.

[21:46]Yes.

[21:47]Okay.

[21:48]Stapled to a champion.

[21:50]Reverse.

[21:50]That's right.

[21:51]Listen,

[21:53]if I had a dominate Twix,

[21:54]I would have her crunch bar,

[21:56]my nuts.

[21:56]All right.

[21:57]So I did,

[21:58]I didn't think of a joke.

[21:58]I did have to look up candy bars on image search and just see it.

[22:03]Now I'm kind of transfixed.

[22:04]Take five swings with that paddle.

[22:07]See,

[22:08]that's another one.

[22:08]I got lots of,

[22:09]I got lots of jokes here.

[22:10]All right.

[22:10]Here's a voicemail.

[22:11]Hey,

[22:12]this is Stephen Curry.

[22:14]I,

[22:15]Oh,

[22:15]my ankle hurts so bad.

[22:16]Ooh.

[22:17]Oh no,

[22:17]it's my hamstring.

[22:18]Oh,

[22:18]my hamstring hurts so bad.

[22:19]I just want to call and talk to super fan Aaron.

[22:22]I know Aaron is a huge warriors fan.

[22:24]Always has been always stuck with us when times are tough.

[22:28]And I just want to say,

[22:28]I really support him,

[22:29]uh,

[22:30]and helping us in the playoffs by definitely not,

[22:33]uh,

[22:33]betting on the two rules against the warriors.

[22:35]So thank you again.

[22:37]Okay.

[22:38]Now I'm off to see my best friend.

[22:39]The Raymond green is a normal guy.

[22:41]He doesn't get mad.

[22:42]All right.

[22:44]So if you notice there,

[22:45]Steph Curry seemed to get confused about his name.

[22:48]He said,

[22:48]Stephen Curry.

[22:49]And he also called them the warriors at the end.

[22:51]So it looks like maybe that was a,

[22:53]maybe Steph had to do a last minute call there right away when they realized

[22:56]they didn't have any voicemails for the show.

[22:58]So Aaron,

[22:59]I thought you were a hardcore warriors fan.

[23:01]And then all of a sudden you're coming up with bets for the two rules game.

[23:03]What is going on with this?

[23:04]Are you not really a true fan?

[23:06]Do you not know ball?

[23:07]Wait,

[23:09]I,

[23:09]I do know ball.

[23:10]That's why I knew that you bet against your team,

[23:13]bet against your fan.

[23:15]That's what you should do.

[23:16]You know,

[23:16]I mean,

[23:17]it's,

[23:17]it's the emotional hedge.

[23:18]I mean,

[23:19]I'm,

[23:19]I don't know.

[23:20]We haven't talked about the warriors that much because people don't want to

[23:22]hear my sports takes.

[23:23]Uh,

[23:24]I was very mad at the warriors when they moved from Oakland to San Francisco.

[23:27]And I was like,

[23:28]I was ready to be out on the warriors.

[23:29]Um,

[23:30]but you can't be out on Steph.

[23:31]Steph's too much fun.

[23:32]So I,

[23:33]I,

[23:33]Steph brought me back in on the warriors.

[23:35]Uh,

[23:36]but as soon as Steph got hurt,

[23:37]number one,

[23:38]uh,

[23:39]they have no chance to win the series without him.

[23:41]Uh,

[23:41]number two,

[23:42]the pattern of all these games in the playoffs,

[23:44]let alone stepping out is game road team takes game one home team comes

[23:51]back,

[23:51]blows them out in game two.

[23:52]It's happened to the warriors a bunch too.

[23:53]So I knew guaranteed this was a 25 point lead at half game.

[23:57]That's just what I knew.

[23:58]And then you threw in the Dante DiVincenzo bet and I had to,

[24:02]had to get on more,

[24:03]but that one,

[24:04]that one didn't work out to be clear.

[24:05]He went to the same school as the Pope is what I heard on the text.

[24:08]But I do,

[24:08]but I,

[24:09]I do,

[24:09]I get myself in trouble around here though,

[24:11]because I,

[24:11]it's weird.

[24:12]Like I'm not from Oakland,

[24:13]right.

[24:13]But I've been here since 2010 and the dynamics out here in my neighborhood

[24:17]are that there are a lot of people in my neighborhood who moved here from San

[24:21]Francisco when they decided to have kids.

[24:24]Cause they were like,

[24:24]Oh,

[24:24]I lived in the city.

[24:25]It was fun.

[24:26]But now like I moved to Oakland.

[24:27]Cause,

[24:28]there's more space.

[24:28]It's whatever.

[24:29]And I hate it.

[24:31]And these guys,

[24:32]like they don't care about Oakland the way I do.

[24:34]So like when the words lose at the chase,

[24:36]I always am like,

[24:37]I like when they lose at the chase.

[24:38]Like I want to see the closeup of Lake of space or is lost to the chase.

[24:42]I love it.

[24:42]And I'll say that at get togethers and people look at me like I'm nuts and

[24:45]they don't understand.

[24:46]And then they're like,

[24:46]well,

[24:47]you're not from here.

[24:47]I'm like,

[24:48]well,

[24:48]I know,

[24:48]but I adopted them when I came here.

[24:50]So I,

[24:50]I mean,

[24:50]I got problems.

[24:51]We don't need to get into it.

[24:52]I don't understand at all why you like him to lose to the chase here.

[24:55]And you lost me on that one.

[24:56]I didn't,

[24:56]it doesn't make any sense to me.

[24:57]You like seeing their faces.

[24:58]They left.

[24:59]What's that?

[24:59]Yeah.

[25:00]They left Oakland.

[25:00]They left.

[25:01]They left where he lives.

[25:02]They left Oakland.

[25:03]Oh,

[25:03]I forgot.

[25:03]Oh,

[25:04]I like when they lose.

[25:06]I forgot about it.

[25:06]That's just,

[25:07]Aaron just told like a 30 minute story.

[25:09]I know they moved out of San Francisco,

[25:10]Rob.

[25:10]I kind of thought Oakland and San Francisco are like the same.

[25:13]Aren't they like in the same,

[25:14]aren't they in the same Bay?

[25:15]They're across the Bay.

[25:17]Yeah.

[25:17]So how far could they move?

[25:18]What's the big deal?

[25:19]It's like a Minneapolis,

[25:19]St.

[25:20]Paul thing.

[25:20]Yeah.

[25:25]Yes,

[25:25]you would.

[25:27]Well,

[25:28]Oh man,

[25:30]how would I get there?

[25:31]Shake 94.

[25:33]That's what I would do for sure.

[25:35]Yeah.

[25:35]Okay.

[25:35]Oh my God.

[25:37]Goddamn men.

[25:38]Dot.

[25:39]Who's deciding to shut everything down.

[25:41]It is really bad out there.

[25:44]Russell.

[25:44]It is very,

[25:45]very bad out there.

[25:46]But as far as the bet goes,

[25:47]I just,

[25:47]I wanted to test to see if my predictive powers were strong and they were about the lead,

[25:52]but not about Dante scoring buckets.

[25:53]It's close.

[25:55]He was one away.

[25:56]He had not,

[25:56]I know you need to get over 10 and a half.

[25:58]He was so airballed.

[25:59]The three,

[25:59]a wide open one.

[26:00]I don't know if it was right for me to make an image of the Pope holding up our bed ticket.

[26:04]Uh,

[26:05]like he was praying that it would happen.

[26:06]That seemed inappropriate to me yet.

[26:08]I'm still saving it to the photo roll.

[26:09]I can't imagine.

[26:10]Can you imagine what my kids are going to see if I pass away and they go through my photo

[26:14]roll?

[26:14]What have I sent you guys this week already?

[26:16]I sent you a picture of me in the bathtub with my coffee.

[26:19]By the way,

[26:19]guys,

[26:20]I got to tell you right now,

[26:21]I'm an everyday bath guy.

[26:23]Now I am.

[26:24]I am.

[26:24]My average number of baths per day is over one.

[26:27]You know what I mean?

[26:28]Cause I,

[26:29]I'm taking one every morning.

[26:30]You sent a picture of your legs in your bath to us today.

[26:33]Like when the bath was probably a quarter full,

[26:35]it looked really sad and pathetic.

[26:37]Like there was part of me that thought you had like a big whirlpool bath and you really

[26:43]don't.

[26:43]It's just like an old,

[26:44]old bathtub.

[26:45]Classic.

[26:46]Yeah.

[26:47]Classic 1950s Rambler house tub.

[26:50]Yeah.

[26:51]First of all,

[26:51]when I'm in a bathtub,

[26:52]it does,

[26:52]it is kind of Lord of the Rings where the perspective,

[26:54]it gets a little off.

[26:55]Okay.

[26:55]It does.

[26:56]The bathtub looks very small when I'm in it.

[26:58]Cause you're a big wiener.

[26:59]Oh,

[27:01]that was the other thing is I was like,

[27:02]I was like,

[27:03]how far can I go up my legs and not show my wiener,

[27:06]but also not make the guys realize how small of a wiener I have.

[27:09]You know what I mean?

[27:10]Like if I'm all the way up to the knuckle and you're like,

[27:12]I still don't see his wiener.

[27:13]That's weird.

[27:13]How many,

[27:14]how many messed up?

[27:15]How many pictures did you not send us?

[27:17]Like it wasn't one of one.

[27:19]How many were there?

[27:21]Over 12 or not?

[27:22]Okay.

[27:23]I'm looking at it.

[27:24]That's what you got to triple check before you hit send.

[27:28]Right?

[27:29]Right.

[27:29]No,

[27:29]no.

[27:30]To you guys.

[27:31]I'm not triple checking that.

[27:32]No way.

[27:33]I don't get it.

[27:34]I can see all of his pubes and I don't see anything at all.

[27:36]This doesn't make any sense to me.

[27:37]All right.

[27:39]Listen,

[27:40]let's get into a rolling going now.

[27:44]The plan for this episode was we were all going to get super stone.

[27:50]Is that still happening?

[27:54]All right.

[27:55]And all right.

[27:56]I'm seeing hands up.

[27:57]Okay.

[27:58]You saw how hard I left at your B shopping joke.

[28:01]That is,

[28:01]well,

[28:02]you know what that means then guys?

[28:03]I better join it.

[28:04]How are we going to,

[28:04]are we going to mention it at all?

[28:06]How do we mention it without saying that?

[28:08]I don't want to really want to say it on the podcast.

[28:10]No,

[28:11]we don't need to say it.

[28:12]You don't have to be our little secret.

[28:13]Oh my God.

[28:15]That's just like when I,

[28:16]I couldn't afford a full-size deodorant.

[28:18]I had to just get the little secret.

[28:23]You know what I mean?

[28:24]Yeah.

[28:25]Russell,

[28:25]I use women's deodorant.

[28:26]I think it smells better.

[28:27]That's part of your turn.

[28:29]Age balanced for a woman strong enough for a man.

[28:32]Just kidding.

[28:32]My wife loves it when I smell like sandalwood.

[28:34]Have you ever been a deodorant,

[28:37]a spray on deodorant guy?

[28:38]Or are you always like a roll on guy?

[28:40]When I started,

[28:41]when I was younger,

[28:42]I was a spray on deodorant guy.

[28:44]And I think that might be one of the reasons my mom always said I was so smelly.

[28:47]It's because I was so smelly because I was using spray on deodorant.

[28:50]I remember it came in giant cans.

[28:52]Like we had a spray on deodorant can that was like,

[28:54]a two liter bottle size.

[28:56]It was huge.

[28:56]Oh my God.

[28:59]Oh,

[29:01]I'm knowing the cold just to go there.

[29:04]Really?

[29:04]There's something that's making me cough.

[29:06]It's almost like listening to a German electronic album.

[29:10]I've made choices before this episode to help me enjoy this episode more.

[29:14]And it seems to be backfiring immensely because it's hard for me to keep track

[29:17]with what's going on.

[29:18]But I do know that right now it's rolling going and I know it's Aaron's turn

[29:21]to roll and go.

[29:23]I don't know.

[29:24]I'm rolling and going.

[29:27]I had a couple of a couple of bummer things happened recently.

[29:30]Bummer dude.

[29:31]Yeah.

[29:32]I hate to make this surfboard.

[29:35]You got bitten by a shark getting older podcast.

[29:39]I think Rob already talked about an over forties joke unless that was last

[29:42]week.

[29:42]I pulled my groin.

[29:45]Oh yeah.

[29:46]Twice a day.

[29:48]Wait,

[29:48]what?

[29:48]Doing pushups.

[29:49]So I'm trying to,

[29:52]what are we talking about?

[29:54]I'm trying to,

[29:55]we're getting fiercely close to a button.

[29:57]I'm trying to learn one arm pushups.

[30:00]So I've been trying to learn what I'm pushing.

[30:01]So of course there's a program for everything,

[30:03]right?

[30:04]So I'm on the one arm pushup program and simultaneously I've been,

[30:10]I took a Neil from Lakeville's advice on what time in Wisconsin is Neil from

[30:16]Wisconsin Rapids turtle Lake.

[30:18]Is that a place?

[30:19]Wisconsin Rapids.

[30:20]Okay.

[30:20]I took his advice and doesn't that sound like he was born at a water park?

[30:24]Doesn't that make,

[30:25]doesn't that make it sound like if you go there,

[30:27]there's a water slide that goes both in and out.

[30:28]I mean,

[30:29]if I went to Wisconsin Rapids and there were no,

[30:31]there was no lazy river.

[30:32]Oh my God,

[30:33]I would be so pissed.

[30:34]Oh,

[30:35]I'm going to go in the bathroom to go to the bathroom.

[30:37]I don't think so.

[30:39]That's why I call it the lazy river.

[30:40]Trying these atomic workouts that Neil suggested,

[30:43]which are great.

[30:44]So I've been trying to like,

[30:46]I'm going to put sprint in air quotes.

[30:48]Cause it's not really what I'm doing.

[30:49]I didn't try to like run at my top speed.

[30:51]Right.

[30:51]A couple of times a week.

[30:52]Now,

[30:53]Aaron,

[30:53]can I just ask you real quick?

[30:54]Is your kids seeing this?

[30:56]Is your kids seeing you attempt to get up to full speed?

[30:58]No,

[30:59]not yet.

[31:00]No.

[31:00]Are your neighbors?

[31:01]Are your neighbors have seen they have,

[31:05]but I stopped doing it in the street.

[31:06]Cause I realized I can get to the park.

[31:08]Yeah.

[31:10]I did it in the street twice and I was hoping no one would see.

[31:13]And then they did.

[31:14]And I was like,

[31:14]I got,

[31:15]no,

[31:15]that's I'm out on that.

[31:16]So,

[31:17]you know,

[31:17]not,

[31:18]I'm doing this.

[31:18]I'm doing this explosive workout.

[31:21]Just all their shades close doors.

[31:23]Yeah.

[31:23]They're like,

[31:23]that's not explosive.

[31:24]Nope.

[31:25]That's not it.

[31:25]Yeah.

[31:26]When's the,

[31:26]when's the explosion?

[31:27]Nobody's here.

[31:28]Wait a minute.

[31:31]Then who's talking right now?

[31:32]Oh,

[31:33]this is a videotape.

[31:34]We made not wise to try to learn two different,

[31:38]uh,

[31:39]new athletic pursuits at the same time at our age.

[31:43]And it turns out if you're trying a one arm pushup,

[31:46]there's a lot of like cross body stabilization that goes into it.

[31:49]So I was on my back step.

[31:50]Cause it was,

[31:51]uh,

[31:51]that's the lowest elevation that I can comfortably do.

[31:54]So that was my,

[31:55]it was supposed to be my hard day and I was on my fifth of five.

[31:59]And I lower myself on my left arm and I felt a pop in my

[32:03]right groin.

[32:04]So that's it.

[32:04]And oh my God,

[32:05]I'm going to pass out.

[32:06]And then I texted my brother because I'd been making jokes about muscle

[32:13]strains on the text with him.

[32:15]And he said,

[32:16]sometimes the BDIB jokes,

[32:17]right themselves.

[32:18]And I said,

[32:18]you know,

[32:19]that's exactly what happened.

[32:19]I'm down there in my backyard.

[32:21]I feel a popping sensation in my groin.

[32:23]And my first thought is,

[32:24]well,

[32:24]I got to tell the guys about this.

[32:26]So obviously my brain is broken and it's clear that the people around me

[32:30]know the same thing.

[32:31]Are you walking with a visible limp?

[32:32]Not today.

[32:34]No.

[32:34]Uh,

[32:35]maybe on Wednesday I was,

[32:36]but now today,

[32:37]no,

[32:37]no.

[32:37]Did anybody say like what,

[32:38]what happened now?

[32:39]Now did anybody say like what happened?

[32:41]I said,

[32:41]I pulled my groin doing one arm pushups.

[32:43]Cause they would never believe that.

[32:44]That sounds like something my kids would say,

[32:45]you know what I mean?

[32:47]And I want to be clear.

[32:47]I want to be clear to our listeners.

[32:48]I was not doing on the ground one arm pushups.

[32:51]I'm training to learn how to do it.

[32:53]I'm doing elevated.

[32:54]So I don't want anyone to think that Aaron said he can do a one arm pushup.

[32:57]No one thought you could.

[32:58]No one thought you could.

[32:58]I'm trying to,

[32:59]I would not say that.

[33:02]I could do a one arm pushup.

[33:03]Rob,

[33:04]you're much stronger than I know.

[33:06]I could.

[33:06]You're strong.

[33:07]I know.

[33:07]I believe that.

[33:09]I know.

[33:09]I could much stronger than we think you are.

[33:11]Your question.

[33:11]Did you treat the injury with heat or cool?

[33:14]Or did you go with the hot ice?

[33:18]I mean,

[33:20]how did you treat the injury?

[33:21]Did you ask somebody in your house?

[33:23]Were you like,

[33:24]I injured myself so bad.

[33:25]I've mostly been trying to mobilize it.

[33:27]I looked it up on chat GPT and it said we turned on this new streaming program we have called Nudge Flex.

[33:33]Well, you know what it is?

[33:34]It's an adductor strain.

[33:36]So I need to be strengthening my adductor.

[33:37]So you know what I'm doing next.

[33:38]Oh my gosh.

[33:39]Get one of the machines.

[33:40]You know what's happening next.

[33:43]Wow.

[33:43]That's where you'll find me.

[33:44]You'll go from REI and send it back when you're back to 100% on your new account.

[33:47]Aaron, how long is the conversation about your muscle pull with your wife?

[33:50]Is it like a whole dinner or like under a whole dinner or over?

[33:54]I don't know.

[33:54]I don't know.

[33:54]I don't know.

[33:55]It's like under a whole dinner, but then it's like later.

[33:58]It's like later.

[33:59]She's like, hey, maybe you didn't need to try that stuff.

[34:02]Your body clearly can't handle it.

[34:04]Well, yeah, you're okay.

[34:05]Yeah, you're right.

[34:06]Yeah.

[34:07]And then you said back, haters are my motivators.

[34:09]Keep it up.

[34:09]Yeah.

[34:10]I'm going to be doing more one-up push-ups than I've ever done before.

[34:14]And I'll show you.

[34:15]And she's like, why do you care?

[34:16]I'm doing this for you.

[34:18]Doing it for you.

[34:19]Russell, it would be depressing if the man you married, you look out the side.

[34:24]In the backyard.

[34:24]And he's doing one-arm push-ups, just leaning up against the house.

[34:27]He's like this.

[34:28]I'm supposed to do this for three weeks.

[34:30]This is the training.

[34:31]I'm really.

[34:32]You got to work your way up.

[34:34]I'm going to start somewhere.

[34:35]So I'm going to come back stronger.

[34:37]So next week, when you guys hear me, my groin is going to be almost a hundred percent.

[34:40]How's it really going with Matt?

[34:42]Do you know what I figured out?

[34:43]LinkedIn.

[34:44]I like looking at LinkedIn.

[34:46]I think we established that.

[34:47]What might be the worst, the worst thing on LinkedIn is the meatheads.

[34:54]Who like to post their workouts on LinkedIn and say, Oh, you know, motivation Monday.

[34:59]Oh, got my workout in and ready to dominate today.

[35:02]That might, those are, those are the worst people.

[35:04]It's the wrong channel for it.

[35:05]Is it me now?

[35:08]Are we supposed to talk?

[35:09]Yes, it's your own guys.

[35:10]Listen, don't tell the audience, but all of us getting stoned before the episode was terrible.

[35:18]We, we cannot do this.

[35:23]We're listen.

[35:24]We're hanging on the edge of a cliff.

[35:25]Like some movie.

[35:26]I can't even think of right now.

[35:27]Normally Rob is this, this is the part of the podcast where we do the rolling going.

[35:32]Yeah.

[35:32]What?

[35:33]Two of us have done it.

[35:35]Special surprise.

[35:36]Oh, we call this the check-in.

[35:40]And it calls us the check-in.

[35:42]Oh, wow.

[35:43]Check-ins.

[35:44]No, she says when she hears this, like she'll ask me, what are you going to do in your check-in

[35:50]tonight?

[35:50]I love that.

[35:52]She purposely doesn't call it really.

[35:54]That feels like a Western Metro thing to me for West of the Western Metro.

[35:59]I'll take dark meat, but he used to Redwood Falls.

[36:02]What?

[36:03]Well, if we're doing a check-in, I'll take some dark.

[36:05]That's a bad joke.

[36:09]I'll take some Nashville.

[36:13]Short is just a check-in nugget.

[36:14]You know what I mean?

[36:15]Like it's just a little.

[36:16]You'll never believe.

[36:20]Remember that time Russell took all of his clothes off during this part?

[36:22]Yeah.

[36:24]Chicken strip.

[36:25]I mean, come on.

[36:26]Remember that time we were so tired and could barely get it together.

[36:31]We were fried chicken.

[36:32]No, I don't remember that.

[36:36]But what I do remember is when I, Russell came for his check-in and the popular TV shows

[36:44]host, James Cordon was very sad next to him.

[36:47]And that was, of course, was a check-in Cordon blue.

[36:54]Oh, I'm sad.

[36:55]Nobody will do carpool karaoke with me.

[36:58]Oh, for this check-in Cordon's blue.

[37:02]Cordon's blue.

[37:03]Matt, only you can save us if you're wrong.

[37:07]I'm just.

[37:07]Oh, James Cordon is.

[37:09]Well, we might as well just keep this play.

[37:16]Guys, I remember when I played defensive hockey in the NHL and Mike Madonna was skating right

[37:22]through the middle.

[37:22]And so I checked him in.

[37:24]Oh, you don't get the joke structure.

[37:27]Wait, was that a check-in check-in?

[37:31]It was a check-in check-in.

[37:33]Wow.

[37:33]That's crazy.

[37:35]I apologize for rooting the comedic timing.

[37:38]Sir, Matt.

[37:39]Oh, oh, I thought you said Mac.

[37:43]And I was like, what is this, a Mac check-in?

[37:44]Guys, last night, well, let's see, about 26 hours ago, 26 hours ago, I had a, I think

[37:53]an existential.

[37:54]I don't know what an existential crisis is, but I think, Rob, what is the definition of

[37:59]an existential crisis?

[38:01]All right.

[38:01]Existential.

[38:02]Well, I think it has to do something.

[38:04]I mean, to me, probably aliens.

[38:06]It's a little guy.

[38:08]Existential.

[38:09]Oh, my God.

[38:10]E.D.

[38:11]E.D.

[38:12]E.D.

[38:12]E.T.

[38:13]Has feeling of worthlessness in society.

[38:15]Oh, this is an extraterrestrial.

[38:17]This is an existential.

[38:18]Extra.

[38:21]What is the word we're looking up?

[38:23]Existential.

[38:24]What does the T stand for?

[38:25]What does the T stand for in E.T.?

[38:28]Terrestrial.

[38:29]Extraterrestrial.

[38:31]So this is existential.

[38:32]So it could also be E.T.

[38:34]E.T. dreads going home, brings up bad memories.

[38:39]Oh.

[38:40]Is that what an existential crisis is?

[38:42]Has mommy issues.

[38:43]I should look it up.

[38:44]I don't know.

[38:44]Honestly, I read a book about existentialism written by St. Old Professor Gordon Marino.

[38:50]I got it right here.

[38:51]Yeah, and I still don't understand it any better.

[38:52]You got that one too?

[38:53]Yeah, I ordered it.

[38:55]Do you understand?

[38:56]Coach Marino is a good guy.

[38:57]I like reading his articles.

[38:59]An existential crisis is a period.

[39:02]Oh, well, I guess that's the end of that sentence.

[39:04]Guys, don't tell anybody about this, but getting high before the episode was one of the best

[39:13]ideas we've ever had.

[39:14]We're on a roll.

[39:15]Is that an English joke?

[39:18]Oh, we're on a roll.

[39:19]Call me butter.

[39:23]All right.

[39:25]Existential crisis is a period.

[39:28]Would it be funny a second time?

[39:31]No.

[39:32]Maybe.

[39:33]Of inner conflict where individuals question the meaning of life, their purpose, and their

[39:38]own identity.

[39:39]We have one of these every week on this podcast.

[39:41]Oh, my God.

[39:41]Every time I log off and I look at the clock and I go, well, shortening my life for something

[39:48]80 people are going to listen to.

[39:49]I can open my window and more people would hear me talk than this podcast.

[39:52]Yes.

[39:53]I can open my window.

[39:58]You ride a train home every day with more people.

[40:02]What is the purpose of E.T.'s life?

[40:04]Oh, my God.

[40:05]This is existential.

[40:06]Existential E.T.

[40:09]It often involves feelings of anxiety, stress, and confusion.

[40:14]Well, I never have those.

[40:16]And can be triggered by life transitions or significant personal experiences.

[40:20]Hmm.

[40:20]Well, maybe I'll say.

[40:23]Maybe a significant personal experience.

[40:25]Last night, I was in Nashville, Tennessee.

[40:28]Wow.

[40:28]And I was taking in a Pearl Jam concert.

[40:31]Oh, wow.

[40:32]In Nashville.

[40:32]The football stadium?

[40:34]Nope.

[40:35]Nope.

[40:35]Nope.

[40:36]But the hockey arena.

[40:37]Hockey arena.

[40:37]Bridgestone Arena.

[40:38]Yep.

[40:38]It was awesome.

[40:42]It was just awesome.

[40:43]I was there for work.

[40:44]Parlayed it into knowing that they were going to be there and stuff like that.

[40:52]So, it was great.

[40:53]It was great.

[40:53]I only had to wait in the merch line for like an hour.

[40:56]It wasn't bad.

[40:57]It went around about half of the stadium before getting there.

[41:00]So, I got a poster.

[41:02]I did buy a t-shirt.

[41:03]I have not bought a t-shirt in years.

[41:05]But there was one that looked pretty good.

[41:06]Nice.

[41:07]Bad material, though, Russell.

[41:09]So, it's probably going to have to go to the cat in the sleeve.

[41:11]Oh, it's going to be a hard t-shirt.

[41:12]Yep.

[41:13]Probably shrink right up a little bit on you.

[41:15]Yeah.

[41:15]Matt, if I were a female going to the restrooms there, would I have a lot of space in the restrooms?

[41:22]In the restrooms?

[41:23]Are there like...

[41:23]Well, I would say not...

[41:26]Normally, I'd say you'd have a lot of space.

[41:27]Because when I go to a They Might Be Giants concert, the men's bathroom is packed.

[41:31]You know what I mean?

[41:32]There are a lot of dudes there.

[41:34]There was more females surprising than this.

[41:37]This is part of my story, too, though, about the existential crisis of what's going on.

[41:42]But I don't know if it's existential crisis or not.

[41:46]So, I'm at the Pearl Jam concert.

[41:48]I'm there by myself.

[41:50]I went to Rippy's beforehand across the street.

[41:52]I got to sit there and watch the first half of the T-Wolves game before going in.

[41:57]Because, of course, I checked set list to see that they go on at 8.50.

[42:00]About 8.50 on all their shows.

[42:02]Yep.

[42:03]You know, so I knew they were...

[42:04]So, I left about 8.30, got to my seat about 8.42.

[42:07]I was timing it up perfect.

[42:09]And then I realized I was having just an awesome time, you know, by myself, at a concert by myself.

[42:16]And then I realized that there's nobody else in my life.

[42:18]No, not one single person in my life.

[42:22]That I could go to a Pearl Jam concert with.

[42:25]Just nobody would experience it and have as much fun.

[42:29]Because I'm looking at people around and you'll see half of the women there.

[42:32]Half of the women there.

[42:34]Right.

[42:34]Are there with some sort of significant other or whatever.

[42:37]And they're sitting down halfway between because all they want to hear is Even Flow and Jeremy

[42:41]and the three songs they know.

[42:43]And they don't celebrate the entire collection like I do.

[42:46]And I'm just having...

[42:46]They played my favorite song of all time, Long Road.

[42:50]Wow.

[42:51]They played the Long Road.

[42:52]By Pearl Jam.

[42:52]That's who they opened with.

[42:54]I was having...

[42:55]I was just...

[42:56]Opened with your number one song.

[42:57]Opened with my number one song.

[42:58]It was unbelievable.

[42:59]It was unbelievable.

[43:00]Wow.

[43:01]Matt, what would you say to people who are saying, and I wouldn't say this, but people

[43:07]who are saying the issue is, is that you're now a Pearl Jam snob.

[43:10]Yes.

[43:12]I mean, that could be too.

[43:14]And I fully admit that, right?

[43:15]I mean, like, I am going to go sit in the merch line for an hour.

[43:22]Person after person would turn the corner and they'd look at how long the line was, and

[43:26]typically females, and they'd say, oh, good God, no way, you know, kind of a thing.

[43:30]But me, and I would say 90% of the line was of the male gender.

[43:36]And, you know, we were waiting to get our posters and our t-shirts and all that stuff.

[43:41]And it was just, it's part of the gig.

[43:42]There was a bus driver, a bus pulled up.

[43:44]This is at like 1.30 in the afternoon.

[43:47]So concerts not till 8.50 like we talked about.

[43:49]You know, bus pulls up.

[43:51]Let's out a whole bunch.

[43:52]Old ladies who were going to some museum or something across the street.

[43:55]Yeah.

[43:56]And he comes up, he goes, why?

[43:57]Music Hall of Fame.

[43:58]Don't you guys have tickets already?

[44:02]You know, why are you waiting in line at 1.30?

[44:04]Just go get, and the person ahead of me is like, oh, no, this is just for the merch.

[44:09]And the guy goes, what?

[44:10]You're just waiting in line for merchandise?

[44:13]And he's just shaking his head.

[44:15]We all had a nice little chuckle, like, how that guy doesn't know, you know.

[44:18]Wait a minute.

[44:19]Of course you wait in line.

[44:20]Wait a minute.

[44:22]You're, you were there before the concert waiting in the merch line?

[44:26]Oh, yeah.

[44:27]You have to.

[44:28]The sellout posters, they sell out if you don't get them in time.

[44:31]Man, I apologize.

[44:33]I underestimated your fandom of Pearl Jam.

[44:36]I'm not sure how I did it.

[44:37]I did not realize that you're, like, you're one of how many guys in Nashville waiting outside before the concert starts?

[44:45]Oh, I mean, there was, I mean, like, I'm an amateur compared to some people.

[44:48]I'm playing right out and playing right home, stuff like that.

[44:51]I mean, there was people.

[44:52]There's people that bring, they've got their own special tubes, right?

[44:56]It looks like a, like, you'd hold, like, fishing rods in, kind of a thing, if you can picture that, if you're ever traveling.

[45:01]But it's just for posters.

[45:02]I mean, and they've got all their stickers from all the bands they've got, you know, just to get the posters, stuff like that.

[45:06]People are buying music posters still?

[45:09]Oh, yeah.

[45:10]Yep.

[45:11]There's people.

[45:11]Every concert.

[45:12]I think I'm down to, I need one more.

[45:15]I need, I need St. Paul in 2016.

[45:17]And then I've got every poster of the shows that I've been to, which is now seven.

[45:22]How many, how many of them do you have hanging up?

[45:23]None.

[45:25]You know what band, you know what band I would wait for their poster?

[45:28]What's that?

[45:29]When I went to that Pink Floyd concert, because hubba hubba, the poster.

[45:34]Ah, you guys know the one I'm talking about.

[45:36]The Butts.

[45:38]You guys remember that one?

[45:40]The Pink Floyd Butts poster?

[45:42]What?

[45:42]Please don't tell me that I just remembered a Pink Floyd Butts poster that nobody else knows.

[45:47]Am I a pervert?

[45:49]I'm only aware of.

[45:52]I'm only aware of.

[45:52]The two covers of the two albums.

[45:54]I'd never even see.

[45:55]I wouldn't even know what a Pink Floyd poster looks like.

[45:57]This one.

[45:57]Yeah.

[45:58]What?

[45:58]What the hell album is this?

[46:00]No, it's a poster.

[46:01]It was never an album.

[46:02]That's all their albums.

[46:03]It's their albums painted on women's bags.

[46:05]Painted on chicks.

[46:06]Yeah.

[46:06]You can see their butt curves.

[46:07]Never seen it.

[46:07]You know what concert I would go for the poster of?

[46:10]That, what was that one where the girls were serving beer out of a pitcher?

[46:15]It was like they were, do you guys know what I'm talking about?

[46:18]It's from Mix-A-Lot.

[46:19]No.

[46:20]Euro Trip?

[46:21]Euro Trip.

[46:21]Euro Trip.

[46:21]Euro Trip.

[46:21]Euro Trip.

[46:21]It was a classic like beer, busty woman poster.

[46:24]Can't remember what it is.

[46:27]What posters do you guys have up in college?

[46:29]I had a.

[46:31]Oh, I did the Godfather.

[46:32]Oh.

[46:33]I did the Godfather.

[46:33]I thought that was a very cool move.

[46:35]Yeah.

[46:35]I had Snoop Dogg and Tupac together.

[46:38]I thought that was a great poster.

[46:39]Oh, that's a cool move.

[46:40]I have, I had three.

[46:41]One was, I had a, like, it was like when I like a train crashed where it just said shit

[46:45]in big letters.

[46:46]I remember that.

[46:47]It was like, like you see it once in a while.

[46:51]Like you see it once in a while.

[46:51]You see like the Hindenburg one.

[46:52]It doesn't just say shit.

[46:53]So this was like, it was like a black and white train crash.

[46:57]And then it just said shit in huge letters.

[46:59]So that was one.

[47:00]Can I just ask, what was the vibe you're trying to curate in your room with that poster?

[47:04]Nobody wants to bring somebody home to their room, look over and just say shit.

[47:09]What was the, what was the vibe of your room, Russell?

[47:13]Describe it in a couple words.

[47:14]Actually, he, Russell was the less angry person in his room.

[47:17]I think our room was the most popular room to be in.

[47:21]Oh.

[47:21]A year without a poster up.

[47:22]There was always people.

[47:23]Without a doubt.

[47:24]Yeah.

[47:25]The poster sale was awesome though.

[47:27]Poster two was, I had the Blues Brothers.

[47:29]I've seen people in college, Russell, that had posters that swore or hot women on them.

[47:33]I felt like the first time I saw people smoking at college, I was like, holy shit, you can't

[47:38]do that.

[47:38]We're at school.

[47:39]You cannot be smoking at school.

[47:42]And then I'd go into somebody's room and there's a swear word on the poster.

[47:45]I'd be like, what if your parents come and it's awkward because they've never seen a

[47:49]swear word before.

[47:50]Let me go sit in the corner with my family.

[47:51]Let me go sit in the corner with my family.

[47:51]That's a ferret.

[47:51]Well, that guy puts up a super illegal poster.

[47:54]That's so fucked.

[47:55]That's so fucked.

[47:57]I never think about that ferret except for on here.

[47:59]Sorry, Russell.

[48:01]Go ahead.

[48:01]What other posters did you have besides this shit?

[48:04]I had a poster.

[48:04]This was out of college.

[48:05]I had a poster up in my room for a long time of the famous Johnny Cash, Big Middle Finger.

[48:10]That's a good name.

[48:12]Yeah, with cash.

[48:13]A little bit of a theme.

[48:14]Yeah.

[48:14]Okay.

[48:15]That's good.

[48:15]That's my poster game.

[48:17]Wow.

[48:18]Wow.

[48:19]Great poster games.

[48:19]So, I don't know if it's a crisis.

[48:20]It feels.

[48:21]It feels existential for some reason because I was half thinking that there's nobody in

[48:27]my life that will do, you know, I got to find a new friend or something like that.

[48:31]And the other half was, I just don't give a fuck kind of a thing.

[48:34]Like, I had such a good time and I would not, I wouldn't want to do that like six times

[48:40]a year kind of thing or follow them around solo things like, but like one night to just

[48:45]be a Pearl Jam fan by myself.

[48:48]And I would take, you know, there used to be a guy, Matt from East St.

[48:51]Paul, good buddies with Joe from East St.

[48:54]Paul.

[48:54]You know, he used to go with me, but then he even started, you know, he didn't want to

[48:58]go to like two nights.

[48:59]He just wanted to go to one night, things like that.

[49:01]So he started to kind of, so I don't know.

[49:03]I got to find, I got to find a new guy, but if I don't, it'll be okay.

[49:06]I think you lean into enjoying it by yourself because honestly, you probably don't enjoy

[49:11]it the same if someone else was there with you.

[49:13]You feel like you got to cater to what they want to do or I think you just do it yourself.

[49:18]Yeah.

[49:18]I, for many years was a big, any like.

[49:21]Big sports game.

[49:22]I'm, I have to watch by myself.

[49:24]Like if you guys were saying, Hey, we're going to a bar, I would, I would say, absolutely

[49:27]not.

[49:27]I'm not going, I'm not watching that, but maybe sometimes you just got to lean into

[49:32]the, like, that's what I want to do and enjoy it by myself.

[49:34]When you go with somebody, don't you look over at them and see just a little bit to

[49:38]see if they're enjoying it like as much as you are.

[49:40]Cause when I go see they might be giants, Jenny now wants to come with me.

[49:43]It's a date, but a lot of it is me looking at her being like, she, she, she's having

[49:49]a good time.

[49:50]Like she, she doesn't know anything.

[49:51]These songs that she haven't.

[49:52]And it kind of stresses me out.

[49:53]Maybe I would enjoy it more by myself.

[49:55]It would stress me.

[49:56]It, it, it, it might.

[49:57]And I could, that's, you know, all these people started sitting down and I, I just

[50:01]know, you know, like the, the old albums, the first three are the ones that everybody

[50:05]knows and everybody sings every song, but then there's the later call it 1997 and on

[50:12]from no code on the Pearl jam geeks where they have, that's kind of their identity as

[50:19]like a, a live band.

[50:21]They're a live band with these new ones, kind of a deal.

[50:23]And so it's, yeah.

[50:26]What's your favorite live band?

[50:27]Alive.

[50:29]No, they're in a live band.

[50:30]I mean, they, they made that album, right?

[50:32]Alive.

[50:33]Well, the song alive is on.

[50:35]Oh, well, I was talking about the single.

[50:37]So, oh, um, but you know, that, that, so they play all the half of the songs or everybody

[50:43]knows the other half, nobody knows.

[50:45]And those were, that's when the women sit down and people go back.

[50:48]But like, so that, that's the only thing I know.

[50:50]Every song, right?

[50:51]Right.

[50:52]98% of the songs that show up on set list.

[50:54]I know what album, things like that.

[50:57]And so, yeah, it's, it, it would be a little different, but I really wouldn't care.

[51:01]I don't think so.

[51:02]Can I say this to you, man?

[51:03]First of all, I just want to get the timing down one more time.

[51:05]What time the concerts, what time did the doors, the doors open versus when you were

[51:09]there?

[51:09]I think Matt's waiting in two lines.

[51:12]You're getting merch before the concert, taking it back to your room.

[51:15]So I got, I got merch.

[51:16]I got in line about one 30 in the merch line and I got to up to the front about two 30.

[51:20]Oh, so it was about an hour.

[51:22]I grabbed all my stuff, brought it back to my hotel room.

[51:25]We didn't wait there for six, seven hours.

[51:27]Can I just tell you, and I don't know why I would be confused at this point of the night.

[51:31]There's no reason.

[51:33]Okay.

[51:34]Oh, who's this?

[51:35]Somebody just came in to order a martini on stirred bong, James bong.

[51:38]Here's the thing.

[51:40]In my mind, the concert venue did not open until the concert would start and there's

[51:45]no way you could possibly get merch.

[51:46]But I realized now that doesn't make sense.

[51:48]That's honestly blowing my mind too.

[51:49]No, no.

[51:50]Like every, I mean, all these, all these places have like a merchandise tents now

[51:56]that put outside of the arena, things like that.

[52:00]Sorry.

[52:00]I just figure, I just figure everybody knows that.

[52:03]Sorry.

[52:03]I got to remember to tell you guys.

[52:05]That's better than the tent I went to Matt, where they handed me white, two white cubes.

[52:11]And they said, now move on out soldier one, two, one, two.

[52:17]And it turned out they, I had gone to a marching dice.

[52:20]Tent.

[52:21]And they were selling me marching dice, which of course are dice.

[52:24]Hey, I'm marching over here.

[52:26]How about that?

[52:27]Oh, hop to hop to what?

[52:33]Marching.

[52:34]Marching dice.

[52:35]Marching dice.

[52:36]That's your finest work, Rob.

[52:40]Wait a minute.

[52:40]That's really fine work.

[52:41]Guys.

[52:42]I just thought of a marching dice.

[52:44]That's going to blow your mind.

[52:45]Okay.

[52:47]Wait a minute.

[52:48]Watch this.

[52:48]Wait a minute.

[52:49]He says, okay.

[52:50]Here we go.

[52:51]Ready?

[52:51]Here we go.

[52:53]Okay.

[52:54]This is a marching.

[52:55]It's going to absolutely blow your mind.

[52:57]Hey, I got to think of jokes.

[53:04]Oh, I was six afraid of seven.

[53:07]The seven, eight, nine sat on a wall.

[53:11]I bet he did that.

[53:12]That fuck.

[53:13]Oh, I mean, this is the marching dice tent.

[53:20]I was wondering why.

[53:20]It was open so far.

[53:21]We were at the concert.

[53:22]I wonder why there was no line.

[53:25]John Phillips, Susan on my face.

[53:27]Oh.

[53:28]Stars and stripes four inches forever.

[53:33]Yeah.

[53:33]Oh, he said yeah that time.

[53:35]I don't normally say yeah.

[53:36]That's sorry.

[53:37]That's my bad.

[53:37]But somebody just recorded Rob, just like with a video, you know, from like behind

[53:45]where you can't hear anything else that's going on.

[53:48]And it's just.

[53:48]Oh, oh.

[53:50]Excuse me while I empty my trumpet flute.

[53:53]Oh, oh.

[53:55]Oh, I like to French porn right now.

[53:58]Oh, oh.

[54:00]She said you got a tight embouchure.

[54:06]I said that's my butthole.

[54:08]Oh, this marching dice tent is wild to me.

[54:20]The Pearl Jam Cosmos served for four hours.

[54:24]I'm just looking at other instruments.

[54:29]Xylophone, more like xylophone.

[54:31]Okay, clarinet.

[54:36]No.

[54:37]We lost Russell.

[54:37]We got to.

[54:38]That's your best embouchure joke ever.

[54:40]That's a great embouchure joke.

[54:43]Trombone.

[54:45]That would be the one funny thing if Andrew Dice Clay was stuck on.

[54:47]He's like trombone.

[54:48]Trombone.

[54:50]I just.

[54:51]I can't think of any joke for that.

[54:53]I just can't think of it.

[54:55]It looks like a piccolo right there.

[54:57]His friends are like, Andrew, Mr. Clay, sir.

[55:00]Trombone is the easiest instrument to make a sex joke about.

[55:03]It's right there in the name.

[55:07]Russell, rolling going.

[55:10]How's it going with you?

[55:11]Rolling going.

[55:11]Last week, I took personal day.

[55:15]I took a personal day for work as just a mental health relaxation day.

[55:20]Very nice.

[55:21]Very nice.

[55:21]Good work.

[55:22]What day did you take, though?

[55:24]What day of the week did you take?

[55:25]I took a Friday.

[55:26]Yeah.

[55:27]Oh.

[55:28]I go Wednesday.

[55:29]We know that.

[55:30]I could do no more.

[55:30]So I took a day.

[55:32]I spent a lot of time sitting around like in my downstairs office, just like organizing,

[55:37]throwing like old papers away.

[55:39]Just mindless stuff.

[55:41]So I was curious.

[55:42]What do you guys like to do on your mental health day?

[55:45]If you're just sitting around with the goal of doing nothing.

[55:48]Well, like I'll just say.

[55:50]Briefly, you know, my, usually when I, my, my time to get all of that kind of stuff done

[55:55]is right before this podcast, because usually we say we're going to like start recording

[56:00]at like 11 and then it's like 1130, but it allows me to get like some laundry done and

[56:04]I get all of the, all of my shirts ready back here to take to the dry cleaner, things like

[56:10]that.

[56:10]But Russell, I got to tell you, it's a little different with, with kids, you know, what,

[56:17]what the mental health day is because.

[56:20]Half of you feels real guilty.

[56:22]If you're not, if it's like a weekend or something like that, you're not doing something with

[56:26]them or, or for them.

[56:27]I don't know.

[56:28]But like, it's hard to relax because I just know that like the kids are coming home in

[56:33]a couple hours and I should be doing this.

[56:35]I should be doing that.

[56:35]But, but how often do I get to watch surround sound porn?

[56:38]You know what I mean?

[56:39]How often?

[56:40]Yeah.

[56:40]I put Jeremiah Johnson on and lay it in the basement.

[56:44]Yes.

[56:44]The headboard hitting the wall behind me.

[56:46]It's like I'm in the movie.

[56:48]So to answer your question.

[56:50]Russell, I like to lay in my basement and just watch some sort of mindless movie.

[56:55]That's what I like.

[56:56]Maybe a born identity, something I've watched, maybe the Godfather, something I've watched,

[57:01]but that's what I like to do on my mental health days.

[57:03]I will tell you this.

[57:04]You know what I do, Russell?

[57:05]When I have a day where I'm like, fuck it.

[57:07]And I don't have a lot of these days.

[57:08]I will go through all summer.

[57:11]I'm, I'm like three weeks of vacation.

[57:16]You guys get in the spring.

[57:17]I'm writing curriculum.

[57:19]Is that how you pronounce it?

[57:20]Uh, listen, I go through my Gmail, Russell, and I unsubscribe as many emails as I can.

[57:28]I go through and I clear house.

[57:30]I'm unsubscribing from all these emails, actually like clicking all the buttons to get it done.

[57:34]It feels so good when you go through, just do it for like 10, 15 minutes.

[57:40]Your life feels awesome.

[57:41]You feel like you got stuff done.

[57:42]Man, I'm impressed you guys would get stuff done on a mental health day.

[57:47]Like if it was me, I'd probably try to.

[57:49]Uh, do something outside and then I'd take some naps and then I would read comic books

[57:56]and watch something dumb on TV and then take another nap and then make myself some eggs.

[58:01]That'd be my, my, my mental health economy.

[58:04]Yeah.

[58:04]My mental health extended into a mental health weekend.

[58:09]So I did some other stuff.

[58:10]That's smart.

[58:11]Um, but one of the things you guys know that is my new Zen thing.

[58:14]My moment to relax the most is going to the record store.

[58:18]I went to another record store.

[58:19]Adventure Rob, hit the music.

[58:21]Oh, I know you're going to say hit the music.

[58:24]So I'm actually ready now.

[58:25]Can I just say this joke?

[58:27]Otherwise I'm not going to be able to think about anything else.

[58:29]Yeah, please.

[58:31]I was going to take a mental health day.

[58:34]This is so stupid.

[58:35]I was going to take a mental health day the other day, but I screwed it up.

[58:38]And I had, they said, sir, you have to give this back.

[58:45]Don't eat it.

[58:46]And it turned out I did a rental Heath day.

[58:49]Rental Heath day.

[58:51]Sir, that toffee is not yours.

[58:55]Hey, remember that contract you signed?

[58:56]It just said, I will not eat it in real big letters.

[59:00]I don't know why I had to sign it.

[59:04]Can I eat it if you keep my security deposit?

[59:07]That's a scam.

[59:11]They're always, they won't give you back that deposit, Russell.

[59:14]Oh, excuse me.

[59:15]You have 30 days.

[59:16]Oh, thank you so much.

[59:18]I don't know.

[59:19]I told you the story of when I got kicked out of that apartment because it was too messy, didn't I?

[59:23]Yes.

[59:23]I had my lawyer send a letter to him, but my lawyer also has my name.

[59:28]She said she knew it was your dad.

[59:32]Do not harass my client, Robert blank.

[59:34]Signed, lawyer, Robert blank.

[59:37]And she did say to me, oh, your daddy wants to get you out.

[59:39]And I was like, well, yeah, I don't know.

[59:41]I mean, all right.

[59:42]He is my daddy.

[59:43]There brings me sandwiches in the bath.

[59:47]I'm such a pay piggy for my dad.

[59:49]I give him money.

[59:49]You know, landlords are kind of the original pay pigs.

[59:51]You think about it.

[59:53]Sorry, Russell.

[59:54]Go ahead.

[59:54]Oh, so I went, uh, by the way, a few weeks ago, our buddy, John from Edina had mentioned

[60:01]he went to mill city sound in Hopkins, Hopkins, Matt just sold that just sold a little west

[60:09]of the cities.

[60:10]Uh, what did that be?

[60:11]North of seven.

[60:13]You can take the loose line trail to get there if you're on your bike.

[60:16]Yep.

[60:16]You can.

[60:17]Yeah.

[60:17]The green.

[60:17]It's in downtown Hopkins.

[60:18]It's all the way out there.

[60:19]It's all the way out there.

[60:19]And so it's, it's kind of a cool older city, right?

[60:22]A little old town.

[60:23]You could have bought that record store, you know, we should have about three months ago.

[60:26]Oh, so I went and I'd never been to this one, but John said it was great.

[60:30]I have to say blown away.

[60:33]I think this is the best record store I've been to by far.

[60:36]Oh, yeah.

[60:37]It's well known to be the best one.

[60:38]Yep.

[60:38]Oh, wow.

[60:39]I went through and they've got names like John's.

[60:42]They've kind of got sections.

[60:44]Like there's kind of like an R and B section, a blue section rock.

[60:47]So you're, you're working your way through the section.

[60:49]They've got names for all the artists, but the big thing is they've got good used records

[60:56]there.

[60:56]Like I'm going to give you guys a list.

[60:58]It's the most I've ever bought in one trip, all time, 500 albums, all used.

[61:05]Wow.

[61:05]So like there are good records here for all sorts of good artists.

[61:09]Here's where, when I started to see kind of the style or what they, all they had, there

[61:14]was like, I'm going to look for this one first to see if I can get it.

[61:17]And to me, if this is here, this will be a good record.

[61:19]This is going to be a good store.

[61:20]It's used.

[61:21]It's Ray Charles, modern sounds in country and Western music.

[61:25]How awesome is that?

[61:27]Wow.

[61:28]And Russell, can I just say this?

[61:30]That's the album you put on top when you're buying these, you put that one on top and

[61:34]you say, I'm a smart motherfucker.

[61:36]Nobody else would ever know what this album is unless you know, ball, Russell, you know,

[61:40]ball.

[61:40]Next one is the only one I've listened to so far since I showed up.

[61:45]It's on the list.

[61:46]It's Stevie wonder.

[61:47]We got inner visions.

[61:49]Wow.

[61:49]Wow.

[61:50]I like that one.

[61:52]Mr.

[61:53]I think you used to say that was your favorite one or no, or what was your, no, that was

[61:58]my favorite.

[61:58]Yeah.

[61:58]Another one.

[61:59]Top 500 list.

[62:01]This is a two record set.

[62:02]It's a wreath of Franklin.

[62:04]Amazing grace.

[62:05]Oh yes.

[62:06]Oh my God.

[62:07]Russell.

[62:07]This is, this is a legit store I'm talking about right now.

[62:10]Right.

[62:10]That's incredible.

[62:11]Just those three enough.

[62:14]When was a guy impressed when you were buying these?

[62:16]Did he say, did he kind of like, I had so much.

[62:19]I had to go up to the desk and say, can you hold these while I keep looking?

[62:23]Oh, good move.

[62:25]Big baller.

[62:26]Big ball.

[62:27]Such a big baller.

[62:28]I love it.

[62:28]Next up.

[62:29]Also coming up on the list.

[62:30]This isn't for another couple of years.

[62:32]I don't think, but it's Aerosmith.

[62:33]It rocks.

[62:34]Wow.

[62:35]That's like seventies Aerosmith back in the saddle.

[62:41]Last child rats in the cellar combination.

[62:44]Sick as a dog.

[62:45]Nobody's fault.

[62:46]Get the let out.

[62:47]Lick and promise and home tonight.

[62:49]I wonder which one I'll be doing a parody song to wonder if it's going to be back in the saddle.

[62:55]Maybe I did purchase one album that was not on the list.

[62:59]This is an all-time Russ favorite.

[63:00]So I couldn't walk past it.

[63:02]It's the blues brother soundtrack.

[63:04]Oh,

[63:06]I don't want to be, uh, make you feel bad about that, but that is not on the soundtrack.

[63:19]That's okay.

[63:20]Um, next one on the list.

[63:22]This is where I know I've got a top 500 album list where I'm just trying to get them all now.

[63:27]Cause I don't even really love this one.

[63:28]We talked about this before, but I saw it used.

[63:32]I'm going to get it.

[63:33]It's this year's model.

[63:34]Elvis Costello.

[63:35]Oh my God.

[63:37]I mean, you gotta be in the collection, man.

[63:40]You look so smart, Russell.

[63:42]I hate to do this and I really apologize, but I had a great killer joke and this show with,

[63:47]but you need to go back to album.

[63:49]Cause I have to, can you go back to albums?

[63:52]There's a joke two albums ago and I can't remember what the album was.

[63:54]Aerosmith rocks.

[63:56]I just remembered my joke.

[64:02]Okay.

[64:03]Next one on the list that I picked up for some people, it's their favorite gentleman's club.

[64:09]For me, it's one of my favorite albums.

[64:11]Not really.

[64:12]It's deja vu.

[64:13]Crosby steals.

[64:14]Oh, I like that one.

[64:17]I bet that would sound good.

[64:19]I bet that's a great sounding vinyl.

[64:21]And this man looks like it feels like the old type of one.

[64:24]When you guys have talked about like, is this an old one or a brand new?

[64:27]This one feels old.

[64:28]Oh, like that's so great.

[64:30]This one is one.

[64:31]I don't think we've ever talked really about this solo album.

[64:34]It's not for till later in the list.

[64:35]I think it's three or four hundreds, Matt.

[64:37]It's Paul McCartney Ram.

[64:39]Ooh.

[64:41]Oh, that's a weird cover.

[64:42]Yeah, it is a weird cover, isn't it?

[64:44]Yeah.

[64:44]It's a cool cover.

[64:45]I like this.

[64:47]I like this second album better.

[64:49]F-150.

[64:50]Next one is Talking Book.

[64:57]Russell, you know what the third album was called?

[64:59]Yeah.

[65:00]Silverado.

[65:01]Silverado?

[65:05]Yeah.

[65:06]Like the Chevy?

[65:06]You said it.

[65:09]Does it have a hemi?

[65:11]Next one is Stevie Wonder Talking Book.

[65:13]Also great.

[65:15]Oh, so good, Russell.

[65:16]Stevie Wonder all-time 500 album.

[65:19]All the albums from the same store used.

[65:21]Russell, what is your record storage situation right now?

[65:25]You are quickly getting more and more records.

[65:27]I'm a little worried.

[65:28]I've got multiple stacks now places where they're not supposed to be,

[65:31]including up in the kitchen table.

[65:33]It's getting out of control.

[65:34]That's tough.

[65:35]Aaron doesn't like the...

[65:36]Listen, normally, Russell, when you're talking records and stacks,

[65:40]that's a good thing.

[65:41]You know what I mean?

[65:42]But not when you're stacking your records.

[65:45]You know what, Aaron, did you get that joke?

[65:46]I got it, yeah.

[65:48]S-T-A-X.

[65:48]Like Stacks Records?

[65:49]Stacks Records, yeah.

[65:49]No, that was good.

[65:51]I worked at the place across the street, the Snacks Record Shop.

[65:54]It's just records and records would be munching.

[65:56]And my best record, five candy bars in a minute.

[66:00]If Rob, all of his best records were on one album,

[66:05]it would be the Rob Anthology.

[66:07]I also picked up an Anthology album.

[66:09]It was Diana Ross and the Supremes, which is on the list.

[66:13]A lot of good hits.

[66:15]A lot of good hits.

[66:15]That's like when I studied my uncle's wife for a long time.

[66:20]My major was Anthology.

[66:21]Aaron, where'd you go?

[66:23]Aaron literally got up and walked away.

[66:25]You can't take any more of this.

[66:26]I'll keep it going for the last few that I got for you guys.

[66:28]I just had to stand up for a second.

[66:29]Anthology, Aaron.

[66:30]Next on my list was Honky Chateau by Elton John,

[66:35]which is coming up on the list.

[66:36]That's a good one.

[66:37]Is that my favorite Elton John song?

[66:39]Jamaican Jerk Off on it?

[66:41]What is on there?

[66:43]Honky Cat, Mellow, I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself,

[66:47]Suzy, Rocket Man.

[66:48]Russell.

[66:49]Salvation, Slave, Amy, Mona's, Lisa's, and Mad Hatter's, and Hercules.

[66:53]I feel like he's trying to tell us something.

[66:55]Quite a wild ride.

[66:56]This one, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this.

[66:59]Honky Cat, by the way, one of the worst songs of all time.

[67:01]It's bad.

[67:02]It's a crazy song.

[67:03]This is the one I'm looking forward to listening to the most, I think.

[67:06]It's Rufus, Ask Rufus, featuring Chaka Khan.

[67:10]Oh, yeah.

[67:11]Rufus can get down.

[67:12]Wow.

[67:12]Russell.

[67:13]Now, there is no one named Rufus in the band Rufus.

[67:19]Oh.

[67:19]No?

[67:20]It's not a joke.

[67:20]That's just a true story.

[67:22]What about their, well, you know who is in the band?

[67:25]It's a guy named Floris.

[67:26]Oh.

[67:28]He was Rufus's opposite in almost every way.

[67:31]You want to guess who else was in the band, Aaron?

[67:35]Walsest.

[67:36]Last one I picked up, this guy did have his name in the band,

[67:40]and he was in the band.

[67:41]It's Electric Ladyland, Jimi Hendrix and the Experience.

[67:45]Oh, man.

[67:45]Oh, yeah.

[67:46]So, that was my haul from Milsom.

[67:49]Jeez.

[67:49]Sound.

[67:50]I love that you just kept going.

[67:52]A great record store.

[67:54]They're used stuff.

[67:55]If you're looking for big-time records, used records,

[67:58]they have a ton of new stuff as well.

[68:00]You could easily spend hours there.

[68:02]I'd highly recommend it.

[68:03]John from Edina turned me on to a great spot.

[68:05]Russell.

[68:06]Great job.

[68:07]Would you say you enjoy going, kind of like Matt,

[68:09]do you enjoy going to a record store with other people or on your own?

[68:13]It's funny, Rob.

[68:14]There's just been a real conversation in this house that I,

[68:19]like, I would prefer to go to a record store alone.

[68:21]Russell, just going to give you a quick tip.

[68:27]Yes.

[68:28]I know.

[68:28]We're all thinking it.

[68:30]You can't say it out.

[68:31]You can't say it out loud.

[68:33]No, you can take it.

[68:34]You can stay up here and you can say,

[68:36]oh, I would love to do this by myself, okay?

[68:39]But I just keep that inside.

[68:41]You can't let that out.

[68:42]You can't tell people, yes, I would rather be by myself than with you.

[68:46]I just don't think you could do that, Russell.

[68:48]So, I should not.

[68:49]I should not say, are we ever going to make money on this podcast, right?

[68:51]I shouldn't say that.

[68:52]Listen, after this episode, Russell, we're going to blow up for sure.

[68:57]Speaking of blowing up, Rob Rowland, how is it going with you?

[69:00]I got on a train today and I had a box of Boston Baked Beans in my pocket.

[69:11]I am back on my shit.

[69:14]I bought four boxes of Boston Baked Beans today.

[69:18]I ate one.

[69:19]I ate one on the train ride home.

[69:20]And this is a full-size movie theater-sized box of Boston Baked Beans.

[69:24]I have been Boston Baked Bean free for like two weeks.

[69:27]I thought I was doing so well.

[69:29]Catch two weeks up.

[69:31]And you know what?

[69:32]Honestly, I was like, I could just, I'm not making a joke.

[69:36]I was like, I'll just open this box and I have a few.

[69:38]You know what I mean?

[69:39]Like, I'm just going to grab a couple of these Boston Baked Beans and just put them in my mouth.

[69:43]By the end of the train ride, I had the box out of my pocket,

[69:48]up in the air, like it was a muggle.

[69:51]And I'm draining it down because it's the very last ones.

[69:55]It didn't even make the train ride.

[69:56]And then halfway through to the train ride, guess what happened?

[69:58]I was digging Boston Baked Beans out of my pocket.

[70:01]And like 10 of them spilled on the ground and made all this noise.

[70:05]And everyone in the train looked at me and the doors opened and it wasn't my stop.

[70:09]And I still got out and went to another train car.

[70:11]They probably did because I was so embarrassed.

[70:14]I cannot be, I mean, can you imagine if a guy next to you spills 10,

[70:18]10 Boston Baked Beans out of his pocket?

[70:19]Rob, what is it about the Boston Baked Beans that inspires such fervor in you?

[70:25]What's the, what's the satisfaction?

[70:27]Oh, it's, oh, it's because his wife said he couldn't have them anymore.

[70:30]It's the forbidden, it's the forbidden fruit of Jesus.

[70:35]She doesn't give a shit if he eats starbursts, but.

[70:38]This, there's something about that.

[70:40]It is kind of, I think it is kind of a weird thing where it's like, I eat as much as I want.

[70:44]And I'm going to eat so many that she's going to hate them.

[70:46]I'm going to take the one thing she loves.

[70:47]And.

[70:47]Yeah.

[70:48]Turn it into dust.

[70:49]But that's probably not it.

[70:50]Hey, it's not like she did that with your weightlifting or anything, huh?

[70:55]No.

[70:56]She's my coach because she's very good with numbers.

[71:00]She thinks about them a lot.

[71:04]Some might say she's more comfortable with numbers than anything else.

[71:10]She interacts sometimes better with numbers than people.

[71:13]Yeah, you had to make that one.

[71:15]I couldn't do it.

[71:17]today by the way she and my kid came home so anyway spilled boston big beans on the on the

[71:23]ran off the train yeah and then it went to a different car and i was like hmm yeah i had to

[71:28]act like the other car had the weirdo like oh my god get me out of there some guy in there's

[71:31]spilling all these boston big beans well i'm gonna take these out and dump them into my mouth like a

[71:36]steam shovel now please uh ignore that that's happening uh and then my i had a kid and a wife

[71:41]come home and they were both hungry and angry at me because i had ordered dinner and they had

[71:46]wanted the dinner to arrive at the exact same time they arrived and it arrived three minutes later

[71:52]and they were so mad they were both mad at me she was like and i knew she was back and she comes

[71:57]as he goes you're playing video games i was like what you've never said that to me in my life and

[72:37]oh no

[72:38]okay you guys don't want to talk about your

[72:46]wife's getting grumpy by and by me let's talk about this album hey you're gonna make me talk

[72:50]about craft work yeah we'll take you let's talk craft work all right listen three is this a music

[72:55]podcast this album so we have craft work in the 70s this is the earliest techno electronica this

[73:03]is it this is like there was something about these guys where they just totally blew up they started

[73:08]this is their sixth album blew up they must not have had a birthday or anything i guess then huh

[73:11]they just had no birthday

[73:16]well they didn't have a birthday but no one cares right we don't know when they were born

[73:21]who crafts by the way yeah who gives a shit about them really and you know what if you notice i put

[73:25]an e in birthday after the i so it looks german uh okay raff work i'm gonna look up birthdays uh

[73:34]okay let's look up you know what uh ralph ralph hooten was born august of 1946 and then florian

[73:43]schneider leo 1947

[73:46]in germany so probably best not to go down that road too much let's not explore that

[73:51]let's move on russell actually bringing the podcast down with his birthday talk

[73:56]okay it's giving me some existential dread okay and that reminds me of a little bit from earlier

[74:04]in the show all right well there's no yeah there's no reason to believe these guys were anything but

[74:10]right there's no political stuff we know about them aaron stop no we're not talking about

[74:16]serious right i said we're not exploring this road i was about to do another et existential

[74:19]dread well raps just like impugning anyone born in germany in 1946 is like okay that's why i was

[74:26]moving on i literally am trying to move on now they played a music that people called and this

[74:32]doesn't i don't think this is appropriate but everywhere i look it's called kraut rock

[74:35]now listen if i was at the ball game

[74:42]and somebody said hey there's some kraut rock

[74:46]i'd be like that sounds really good it's sauerkraut you can smoke if you smell what i'm

[74:52]cooking i'm like a hot dog stand come and lick me i taste like a fun dip i'm the sour rock

[75:01]oh no sauerkraut rock okay sauerkraut rock rock i've lost guys you know what and who knows why

[75:09]this happened why i went down this road and i am lost i can't find my way back

[75:16]i thought we were talking about et now this is their fourth album their early albums were

[75:22]synthesizers and flutes now did i think about going to find one of the early songs and downloading

[75:25]listening to it no didn't even cross my mind not gonna do it but they started to go just since

[75:31]their fourth album is really their biggest album autobahn and you've seen autobahn before in the

[75:36]big lebowski because that's the one that those guys are making a mockery of they're doing a

[75:40]parody of the cover the german band and that were just as like autobain they're it's it's exactly like

[75:46]craftwork but it's like the guys in this movie which is kind of funny that gets it gets up to

[75:51]number five on the billboard autobahn gets up to number five on the billboard top lps and tapes

[75:56]list which is it sounds like an insane list uh then they just go start going synthesizers

[76:01]at this point they get a fan named david bowie who's introduced to them by brian eno brian eno

[76:09]starts asking like really working with these guys and they think that when brian eno goes on to do

[76:16]the talking heads with you two uh with all the stuff he's done they think they're he's actually

[76:20]taking a lot of that from his meetings with craftwork which is kind of interesting and

[76:25]basically david bowie said hey i want to collaborate with you never happened can you

[76:29]imagine a david bowie craftwork collaboration i think that would be fun uh he also asked them

[76:35]to go on tour and open for it never happened that's fascinating i mean or a station to station

[76:40]album which would be wild if you want to see craftwork and this and then see him doing station

[76:45]to station is the thin white dookie my goodness uh and basically they got these sequencers so they

[76:51]could play notes over and over instead of having to play them on a keyboard and this is listed as

[76:56]along with nirvana dr dray's number one band when you ask dr dray who his biggest influence is he

[77:03]says nirvana his best bands he says nirvana and craftwork and uh joy division played him before

[77:09]every concert they say these guys influence obviously daft punk from before bowie you know

[77:14]devo and i'll just tell you this this is gonna make you mad but the article i read said a lot

[77:20]of people say there's two of the most the two most influential bands of all time are the beatles and

[77:25]craftwork because you can take those two roads down as we go sacrilege i don't know i don't know

[77:32]let's get into the album uh this one is called europa and los and i'm gonna show you a beeping

[77:41]we got beeping

[77:42]we got beeping

[77:42]when this started i was like i can vibe with this i'm good one of the things this album does

[77:48]is that it loops where we get to the end i'm gonna play it to the beginning again and you're

[77:54]gonna hear how much this album loops it's crazy that's kind of the concept of this album is it's

[77:59]a loop because it's actually an album about the trans-european train like it's it's literally an

[78:07]album about the train a lot of these songs sound like you're on a train they have a train sound

[78:12]it's crazy that they would make a song about trains but it's a very pro-europe album

[78:18]because uh you know when you're in germany in 1947 that you didn't have a lot to be proud of

[78:23]so they would go pro-europe so this sound we're hearing is not a synthesizer it's it's something

[78:31]it's like a it's like a sequencer yeah okay so but i think they're doing it with you know i think

[78:37]a synthesizer can do that sure but yeah the sequencer is different i mean i guess yeah

[78:42]sequencer is like a little square tablet with some buttons on it how much of your pinky figure

[78:47]would you cut off if you could just learn like matrix style you learn right away how to use one

[78:52]of those synthesizers with all the wires going everywhere you know what i mean if you could step

[78:56]in and just use that and everybody'd be like damn this guy knows this old ass synthesizer

[79:00]i'd probably give one part of my pinky figure that's what i was thinking too a knuckle

[79:04]yeah i mean it's like knuckle because you're working that synthesizer with the wires you'd

[79:09]look cool as hell star oh

[79:12]can you imagine if you if you're the one you're married to is way into synthesizers that would be

[79:17]rough would it honey listen to this song i made okay yeah this one's really pleasant

[79:26]kind of sounds like a nintendo game song that's what wallace said he said this sounds like video

[79:31]game music i'm off to fight metal man my son also had this weird pedovi in response to this album

[79:39]both times i played it in the house he said can you play the loud house movie soundtrack

[79:43]it can be a lot like once he heard this he wanted to hear the loud house movie soundtrack

[79:46]very bizarre the lot house movie loud house movie it's like a netflix movie very odd that

[79:54]that was the connection in his brain uh man what do you think of this music

[79:59]uh i'll kind of the two early for the end but no it's uh this this is exactly uh lcd sound system

[80:09]talked about it a little bit i've gotten into them recently you know pete from saint paul

[80:14]listens to lcd sounds and you put on some lcd sound this is exactly it it's just awesome

[80:19]loopy type stuff and so i love it i think it's great i absolutely think it's one of the most

[80:25]influential albums after kind of digging into what the tree the coaching tree that came from

[80:32]this album is unbelievable yeah well and you know now craft work is dating a 22 year old

[80:37]so here's the thing i'm not gonna lie to you i'm not gonna lie to you i'm not gonna lie to you

[80:39]not that and matt you're just you're just talking specifically about the electronic bands because

[80:46]there's a whole hip-hop yeah family tree that we'll get into as well yep you think bill belichick

[80:51]is good at sex he just can't he could be i could see him being either very bad or really really

[81:02]really good you know what i mean or i guess he could be kind of good or he could be kind of bad

[81:08]or

[81:09]might just be right in the middle i seem it's all well that's a lot of sex in a nutshell honestly

[81:15]what if you were gonna do dump or marry him his former quarterback tom brady or his former

[81:22]offensive coordinator charlie weiss now can i say this is this tom brady tom brady bill belichick

[81:33]and former assistant coach charlie weiss okay and i'm not stalling because i'm nervous about

[81:38]answering this in case because i don't know

[81:39]charlie weiss listens here's the thing am i getting tom brady now or am i getting tom brady

[81:46]when he played football because if i'm getting like skeletor tom brady that he is now i'm i'm

[81:51]that would change my mind which tom brady am i getting um how about when he was playing

[81:56]long hair tom brady okay okay well that's pretty easy to me i'm gonna you know what

[82:02]i might fuck charlie weiss

[82:05]don't bill belichick and mary

[82:09]tom brady charlie weiss if you're listening can you man grab a call if you walked into a room

[82:15]and i was just giving it to charlie weiss yeah he's like singing the notre dame fight song

[82:25]who's that peeking in the door the other door that your bathroom has wait but your bathroom

[82:29]has two doors oh yeah they had to be open in the middle of the apartment don't ask me about i hate

[82:32]this two-door bathroom i have just double stress but who's looking in this other door oh my god

[82:37]it's wayne fonts

[82:39]oh that wasn't a question at all yeah well he's stuck in

[82:43]this song is called spiegelstahl now on genius it said

[82:50]so of course i had to look it up in google translate because i was like i bet some german

[83:03]shit on genius.com is awesome and they said it's a song about mirrors and how they influence our

[83:08]perception of ourselves

[83:09]and i was like that's exactly what i thought i would say is some shit like that where i have

[83:12]to think about it german genius making me think gonna have to sit with them for a while yeah

[83:18]making me use my coat foot here oh oh you didn't think i know what head was german

[83:25]the album started to lose me here because i don't like something about this guy's voice

[83:31]really makes me feel comfortable yes this is not a song you would sing to your kids i don't think

[83:37]no now

[83:39]this next song it does sound like he's saying poopin but it's schaufensterpuppen and you know

[83:44]what that means in german a woman at the window mannequins

[83:51]i mean

[83:54]so this is a song about mannequins

[83:59]come on guys we gotta have a mannequin bit oh come on i mean there's the movie

[84:09]you think you'd be a good mannequin like if you were a mannequin that woke up and lived through

[84:14]the night like what would your pose be as a mannequin rob if it was you you're the mannequin

[84:19]it would be arms up like this like you know i mean i'm kind of giving them like i'd be like

[84:24]one leg up on like a box like one leg up one leg down kind of fist like chin on the fist type of

[84:32]thing wow the thinker you know what always depresses me russell yeah is when i'm in the bar

[84:38]of the store and it's just fat mannequins you know what i mean like where i'm shopping for my clothes

[84:42]it's only the new fat mannequins that are supposed to like make people feel better

[84:46]they probably they probably gotta order those from like a special store like the normal mannequin

[84:51]store there no way does it do overweight mannequins no i should be you know what i mean like when i

[84:56]see mannequins that look like me i get super depressed yeah mannequins should be super fit

[85:01]period you know what you're a national champion how many sheep had to be shorn to make this

[85:08]damn shirt oh jesus christ you're wearing wool shirts russell i don't know be careful

[85:15]be careful cotton cotton now this song is called trans europa express

[85:25]it's literally about the train system this is the lead single off their album

[85:29]apparently this was getting play at the clubs in new york city and here's the thing you gotta

[85:36]remember this is 70s

[85:38]this isn't 80s this isn't like this is so early you don't hear anything like this

[85:45]i mean guys listen imagine listening to this what else is coming out in 75

[85:50]off this list like cream probably a rolling stone album yeah crosby stills nash and young

[85:56]yeah i'm trying to think of it so this came on is it 75 or 77

[86:01]77 recorded in 75 that's like the height of disco so like yeah was this being played

[86:08]next to disco tunes or were these different clubs where people want to hear this stuff

[86:12]i can't imagine rumors by uh fleetwood mac came out in 77 or 77 low by david bowie exodus bob

[86:19]marley and the wailers marquee moon by television i'll just say this if i went and listened asia

[86:25]the clash the clash there's a lot of good albums listen if i went to a club and they were playing

[86:31]this really joel the music i went to a club and they were playing this music i would not use the

[86:38]glory hole in the bathroom i'm just gonna say this right now i bet there this would be a this

[86:41]was a club that glory hole situation would be terrifying yeah you don't know hand by clapton

[86:46]this you don't like metal contraptions or something uh you know there's a rusty old

[86:51]can over there russell scratch fever by rob's favorite what album would you want to be hearing

[86:55]my favorite rob what's that situation like what would be an appropriate

[86:59]you know what if i went into a place in the saturday night life or saturday night fever

[87:06]soundtrack was playing

[87:08]i'd feel pretty safe using that glory hole saturday night fever soundtrack came out in 1977

[87:12]oh see imagine that hey mom i got two albums at the record store this mill city record store

[87:18]i got uh saturday night fever and craft work well off to bed listen that song you know who

[87:25]was sampled by aaron famously hell 1977 uh are you gonna do africa babada yeah this is africa

[87:31]babada and supersonic force asia by steely dan planet rock in 77 it's the same drum beat as

[87:37]trans europa express they sampled it and they use that synth sound too there's like if you there i

[87:43]think it's called who sampled who i don't know if you guys ever looked at that site and it'll click

[87:48]and it'll pull you to where the sample is in each song on youtube so you can hear hear it specifically

[87:52]yeah this song has been sampled like 200 plus times yeah there's multiple song albums songs

[88:00]of this album that have been sampled especially in hip-hop songs hundreds and hundreds of times

[88:05]yeah i mean i think africa babada was the probably the first to do it and then yeah once he did it

[88:10]just like every dj in new york was probably looking for this in the in the bin and chopping

[88:17]and putting together it'd be wild if pete townsend covered teenage wasteland and that would be a real

[88:23]who sampled who you know what i mean all right metal off metal which of course means in german

[88:30]metal on metal oh that was a child you can hear it

[88:34]this is a coda to the trans europa express so you're still on that train motif where it sounds

[88:39]like a train going through melody too right yep it kind of they're all blending together now of

[88:45]course you might remember the more famous song called metal on metal which was do you know who

[88:50]sang metal on metal wrestle oh the band anvil anvil of course was a hit documentary about a

[88:59]heavy metal band that was a one-hit wonder and it followed them on tour it's an awesome music

[89:04]documentary if you haven't seen it it's like a band just trying to make it again

[89:07]when you hear his voice you will find out why anvil did not make it in the business okay i'm

[89:14]just gonna say it right now man hey do me a favor just to bring this to today's life and because i

[89:21]do like lcd sounds as much so much would you play dance yourself clean by lcd sound system just a

[89:27]a little bit of it just so everybody can kind of hear where this came from where it goes to

[89:33]kind of a deal this is cool man i don't think i've ever listened to lcd sound turn it up a little bit

[89:40]oh yeah you know this is like modern day crap work to me you know this is just awesome so

[89:52]anybody likes this album listen to some lcd sound system guys i'm not saying anything but if we all

[90:02]decided to get high before this episode this is exactly the kind of music i would want to be

[90:06]listening to it actually was a really good idea if that happened that'd be a great great call

[90:11]all right oh well isn't that that's a great song now you know nowadays it's more like l o l o l e d

[90:22]sound system o led sound system edit that in rob later but is it really worth it over the q led

[90:32]oh big difference aaron hit me with that tv knowledge i knew aaron could help himself

[90:36]this fucker loves buying cars and tvs it's his favorite gag he loves that shit

[90:42]it's like the two things and tacos what do you think what do you think but you you know aaron's

[90:48]buying tacos like if aaron goes by some tacos you know he's buying it but can you picture aaron being

[90:52]like yeah i'm way into buying tvs i've bought multiple tvs i cannot see aaron buying multiple

[90:57]tvs can you see aaron buying multiple cars no no he's gonna get it even if he doesn't buy it he's

[91:02]going to get it even if he doesn't buy it he's going to get it even if he doesn't buy it he's going to

[91:02]buy it even if he doesn't buy it he's going to get it even if he doesn't buy it he's going to get it even if he doesn't

[91:02]lie by a car dealership we all know this aaron's too sweet for the car dealership he can't handle

[91:06]it i'm currently leasing just what you did right there is why you can't handle the car dealership

[91:12]okay you cannot you cannot stammer when you're trying to stand up for yourself okay yeah i'm

[91:19]currently leasing two vehicles you got a great deal on one of them at least yeah aaron you showed

[91:24]him yeah ford motor company hates to see this guy coming yeah this is anvil metal on metal listen to

[91:32]just a terrible voice but a great documentary i highly recommend it uh abzug

[91:45]there's one uh artist that was really inspired by this band and that's back

[91:54]wow one of his favorite songs ever is the song absolutely computer from their 1981 album

[92:02]class computer world back heavily influenced by him and i don't know if we can pull it up

[92:07]rob i don't know if we'll be able to see it um if we pull up the music video now for the new

[92:13]pollution by beck about halfway through the music video there is an homage to this band here craft

[92:22]work but i think even well yeah i think how they're standing right here russell this looks

[92:26]like a famous this looks like a very famous picture of craft work under all their album covers

[92:32]so they're in the middle a little further i think

[92:34]beck beck can fucking make a video though you can do that somewhere in here there is an homage to

[92:41]craft work in this video so i gotta say yes russell go ahead when it comes to being inspired

[92:49]by and honoring craft work in their music videos who did it better better did it better

[92:56]incredible incredible thank god we've been back for this podcast

[93:02]i'll say it again we could i mean he's literally like the center of the music industry we didn't

[93:09]realize it until this podcast happened this is a good song too beck's got a lot of good songs

[93:17]you know what i would love aaron beck poster i'm gonna show up early i'm gonna get a beck poster

[93:25]take it back to your room make sure it yep stays nice yep lay on the hotel bed

[93:32]gold bond powder oh my god don't even get me started i put the gold bond powder on on this

[93:41]drip and then i flipped over in bed don't do that big mistake all right next song uh abzug i don't

[93:49]think i played abzug yeah you did you played that cool all right sorry about that next up abzug

[93:54]that's nice

[93:55]now the question that enters rob's brain would that be funny how many times

[94:02]no not funny abzug

[94:05]i feel like it's gonna be funny again this is franz schubert

[94:10]um aaron why is this song called franz schubert i am honestly not sure as i was listening today

[94:17]i don't know that i recognize this melody as being from schubert i assume it probably is

[94:22]somewhere but i i couldn't pick it up listening and i didn't look it up are you gonna tell me

[94:26]no it's because he's here to pump you up no i recognize

[94:32]this isn't like this the exact same song as one of the previous ones

[94:35]i don't know if it's trans europe this sounds the exact same as one of them we already heard

[94:39]doesn't it well i mean it's the exact same well i maybe it's a motif for us maybe they're just

[94:46]repeating that uh speaking of was there any worse video game than cubert i mean speaking of schubert

[94:55]cubert if i went to a pizza place and the only video game they had was cubert i was so pissed

[95:00]cubert was an all

[95:02]time shitty video game all time

[95:05]like can you imagine rob how big of losers we would have been if we were at aaron's halloween

[95:11]party and i was playing cubert to try to beat it oh my god like dyson's punch out listen punch

[95:16]out way cooler yeah ladies seeing you playing mike dyson's punch out they're probably creaming

[95:22]their jeans for sure watch you play cubert the opposite if you if you told me you knew like the

[95:30]code to get unlimited

[95:32]guys in cubert i'd call the authorities wow well russell that makes me want to put up a bench of

[95:36]symbols above my head classic cubert move that guy loves doing that shit all right

[95:41]i knew i could pull off a cubert bit yes

[95:46]i wonder what he's called that well you well you know why they call him cubert

[95:53]is that he looked like a the big the white ball and pool yeah cubert cubert yeah because he always

[96:01]you know what he always he always came in on time during the show that was his cubert

[96:06]never missed his cubert okay and los and los this song kind of rips i wrote

[96:13]i mean you hear elo mr blue sky in here for sure i love that song that would be an all-time

[96:22]on russ's 100 song this so and los what they're saying means endless now here's what i'm gonna do

[96:50]automatically get one of those nice cassette players

[96:52]here's the beginning of the album

[96:59]it literally loops

[97:04]same tempo same everything old time road does that too you can listen to this album non-stop

[97:13]for the rest of your life obviously a little non-sexist which is kind of what this podcast

[97:20]is like if you think about it and i gotta say when i think about things like that

[97:25]it makes me want to phone home because it's an extraterrestrial crisis for sure

[97:30]listen let's get into the rating system episode 500 the last one ever

[97:35]we'll end with the story about your mom's friend making me carry the flowers and having to sit in

[97:42]the front row of the limo at your wedding and it'll just tie right into that episode it just

[97:47]loops around for that person that's listening to our podcast on an endless loop i guarantee

[97:54]there'll be one person who does all 500 twice oh that's disgusting that's i got money i believe you

[98:02]oh my god what a sicko oh whoever you are you're the second time you hear listening to me tell you

[98:09]you're sick there's someone find something else someone who's who's listed at like 236 of these

[98:49]holoff in the late 90s i relate to every story especially the last episode with john

[98:54]where it's just mostly saying a lot of stuff i realized when we were editing it anyway

[98:57]this is the rating system okay this album of course now there's a little controversy earlier

[99:03]right transposed to the numbers okay this is 238 not 283 aaron get out that time machine

[99:11]yeah okay and you know what get into the rosemary machine

[99:16]okay apparently all the machines are about herbs

[99:25]marjoram god damn aaron picked the funniest one

[99:28]holy shit

[99:30]i was gonna say mint machine but i didn't want russell to think about those cards you got

[99:35]graded again

[99:35]not like my toothpaste not mint what how do we get talking about herbs again

[99:44]russell trying to go backwards on a conversation like this is almost impossible

[99:50]nobody could possibly do it except for our super fan

[99:52]what if i wanted to do a herb brooks joke wow

[99:55]you couldn't even set me up what would that okay

[99:58]russell i gotta i don't have a time machine but i have this herb machine

[100:01]i guess i bet it's gonna be a miracle with with the herb brooks okay who would get out

[100:10]russell what would that sound like

[100:11]the herbs brooks yeah again you'd start up and it would say again

[100:17]again who do you play for

[100:20]play for the herb brooks machine

[100:23]god damn it you made this a big red machine you know we're gonna get in trouble for this

[100:30]starring kane what was the big red sports machine i was always mystified by that

[100:36]the big the big red machine was kane and wwf oh okay undertaker's evil older brother

[100:41]the big red machine was the soviet sports program if a if a matrix if a dominatrix choke slam me

[100:49]that would be pretty cool i mean what if she took you through a table russell

[100:52]maybe you could ask it more of a that's a perfect person to throw you through a table

[100:56]a dominatrix rob they would put you like the boston crab they gotta make you submit

[101:01]and you'll never guess what joke i'm about to make

[101:04]me me me me me yeah after i went to the dominatrix i got a bad case of boston crabs

[101:11]and then you know what holds you but man the bostic pubic lice

[101:23]so many boston jokes this episode and rob if you were we didn't even talk about

[101:30]what you were if you were having a dominatrix experience would you

[101:34]yell i submit i submit or would you tap out i i would say i would say my safe word would be like

[101:43]existential you know something that's hard for me to say struggle it'd be like part of the thrill

[101:48]that's not how you say it

[101:52]this is where we rate the album she's forcing me to eat all these boston baked beans

[101:58]little does she know i could do this all night listen this is the rating system we're at 238

[102:05]does this album craft work okay because i know what you're thinking what album is almost as

[102:09]good as willie nelson but not quite and of course the answer is craft work trans europa express

[102:13]is this belong at 238 if you think this is perfect this is a rolling well toned

[102:17]if you think this is perfect this is a rolling well toned if you think this is perfect this is a

[102:18]if you think it should not be this high on the list it should be a lower number earlier on the

[102:23]list lower on the list yet higher up that would be a rolling bone it got boned it should be down lower

[102:28]or is this album no good it shouldn't be on the list at all it should be a higher number which

[102:36]is lower on the list that would be a rolling groan new groan alert new groan just dropped

[102:44]okay that's what obama

[102:48]obama would call it grown strike now

[102:50]hey three grown strikes and you're out buddy

[102:58]he must have really been peppering aaron before he tore that groin

[103:04]groin strike groin strike

[103:07]hey for me i would just work out my minus doctors because your ad doctors are

[103:18]shit i wrote that joke down wrote very good next to it

[103:23]should have done that anyway what do we think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan

[103:28]russell aaron's insane after that throws me off every time russell what do you think

[103:34]i think this is clearly uh rolling groan this i understand where a lot of musicians are taking

[103:40]something from this or some sort of inspiration but if just taking the the album on its own for

[103:46]what it is i don't see how it could be this is a really good album for what it is i don't see how

[103:47]it could be this is a really good album for what it is i don't see how it could be this is a really good

[103:48]album for what it is i don't see how it could be this is a really good album for what it is i'm not

[103:49]coming back to listen to this one again i i could see why i'm glad other people took something from

[103:55]it to help push music for but this one's not for me rolling groan uh matt what do you think rolling

[104:01]well-toned rolling groan or rolling bone again i talk out of both sides of my mouth i this album is

[104:07]more on the influential side for me it's up here because of the influence it has and again an

[104:18]example of the coaching tree that it's got um so i think it's i wish i could put it just a little bit

[104:24]higher but i'm gonna say it's rolling well-toned right here at 238 uh here's what i don't get is

[104:30]when did these guys find time to make those cheese slices you know what i mean the craft uh

[104:36]i guess they must have worked at it the craft singles work trans-europa express uh aaron what

[104:45]do you think rob rolling well-toned or when when did they have a lot of time to make those cheese slices

[104:47]they have time to go get a hand job at a massage bar oh robert craft work and he really did

[104:56]speaking of charlie weiss and all those guys oh my god

[105:01]uh this is my reese is in there please not charlie weiss please not charlie weiss

[105:07]i hope i get tom brady um i think matt and russell both make some great points um

[105:14]it's hard to overstate the influence of this band

[105:17]they changed a lot of things i know they discovered a lot of things that

[105:21]bands that really love use um i don't enjoy listening to this album necessarily so it's

[105:26]tough for me to say in terms of just the music on its merits even though it's impressive for

[105:30]what they did with the technology of the time uh i'm gonna say rolling ground

[105:35]unfortunately you guys are incorrect

[105:38]this gets a rolling beep and boop oh wait well i'm sorry wait a minute wait a minute i realize

[105:45]that doesn't work i i need to say something i need to say something i need to say something

[105:47]say that in german this gets a rolling beep tone and boop tone a really boop tone which of course

[105:54]is german for boops and beeps okay because guess what this album has a lot of beep tones and boop

[105:59]tones there's a lot of german boops and beeps in this album all right that's what i noticed biggest

[106:04]my biggest disappointment on this album was that i thought craft work was

[106:09]kren craft 5000 and we're gonna hear zombie nation wow

[106:12]you know russell normally

[106:17]every episode i edit out your kren craft 5000 joke but this time

[106:20]we'll bring back the craft court 5000 corner like you've always wanted russell we'll do it

[106:27]god we talk about it all the time next up

[106:30]oh i never checked what the next album is you're about to hear me write this joke live in my head

[107:46]okay yeah now you guys will be happy to know that i wrote down some jokes during this episode

[107:52]that i can tell at the end because i had a feeling we would not remember what we had talked about for

[107:57]some reason let's practice your jokes okay let's see what i wrote down i don't remember myself what

[108:02]i wrote down but we this is everybody's favorite part of the show it's the jokes at the end by the

[108:05]way it's very funny when you look at the sound files matt turns his microphone off almost five

[108:10]minutes before we do like as soon as we know the music reviews matt's microphone is done there is

[108:14]no more sound coming down the file

[108:15]anything he has to say now will not exist and they're on the record
