Kanye West: 808s & Heartbreak (2008)

[00:00]Okay, now I've got a problem. There's a fucking, can you guys see this sculpture behind me? Yeah. It's like a stainless steel. It's a giant kinetic sculpture. And mostly what it does is it seems to bang against, I mean, it's kind of like anvil, again, metal on metal, where it's making metallic noises while I'm trying to say funny things. Rob, would you say it's a female sculpture? Because if it is, she bangs, she bangs. In my mind, Russell, all sculptures are female, including David.

[00:33]That's why what I did was just fine. Okay. I'll tell you what he was thinking about. My nuts on his toe. Until security got there. Wait, is David, are we? Well, it's pronounced David in Italy. Huh? His toes? You're wondering about his toes? Yeah. Does it weigh? Does he have toes? Does it actually do toes? Aaron, don't act like you. You haven't zoomed in on art books. I know feet are hard.

[01:01]I mean, hands are hard to do. I don't know about feet. I think that's the saddest stage of male puberty, right? Is when you're looking through art books for naked people. That's like, you're at a low point at that point. Guys, we haven't been together for five weeks. It's like we never left. I feel like we're hitting the ground running. I just hope this doesn't go too fast. It's been so long. Oh my God. Yeah, I hope. Well, that's the thing. Sometimes this podcast may be shorter than normal. If this podcast is shorter than normal, folks, it's because we haven't done this for five weeks.

[01:30]If we left prematurely, then you know why. You might hear us talking a lot about baseball. Now, you might think, oh, Rob, you're talking about baseball. Are you going to play the center field sound? No, I don't know where any of my sounds are. I'm back on my dad's computer. Okay, so I have the old soundboard. I have not checked it out. We're just going to see how this goes. All right. Hey, are we setting a timer? We are, right? Are we doing this Mission Impossible style? No, I can't. I don't have enough screen room. I'm on like the world's smallest timer. Some of us got to work tomorrow. Listen. First of all, it sucks to you.

[02:01]I don't have to work for like 50 days. Even then, calling it work is questionable. Okay, I'm kind of coasting. Still seems weird. You've only got 50 days at your cabin. That seems like not enough, Rob. I know, and I have to go to Grand Cayman, too. Oh, my days are hard. Okay, can we talk more about David? By the way, I love, we've got Summer Matt. Now, Summer Matt does have a beard, and Summer Matt is also very close to the computer. I like how close Matt is.

[02:30]I feel like he's really dialed in. Is he wearing a NASCAR hat? Matt, what is that hat you're wearing? The way I'm looking at him, I don't think he's dialed into anything right now. Morelli distribution. My neighbors are the Morellis. They've got the beer distributor up here in the western half of the Dakotas. Western half? That would be east of the eastern half? That'd be west of the eastern half. I mean, you know what it means when I'm on my dad's computer, too. That means that Matt has been drinking all week, and so we're going to be drinking all week. We get to find out what are Matt's kids learning in North Dakota?

[03:00]Oh, yes. It's time to find out what Matt's kids are learning in North Dakota. Oh, yeah. American spirits are good for you. They're natural. Oh, wow. They're natural. American spirits are good for you. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order. See, I did that so I could edit that very easily if I wanted to, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise. Do almost no research. All opinions are our own

[03:30]unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are all the way up to album 244, and the guys have promised not to mention anything in the window behind me because I'm in cabin mode. No, don't mention scary things back there because I'm not going to look. And from 2008, this guy has an entire Wikipedia. So if they attack you and we didn't warn you, will you hold it against us? I've been with my family for two days. If somebody came in with a cleaver, I would die with the biggest, you would find my head

[04:00]with a huge smile on it. Okay? Just guy, listen, I love my family. No, this one, use the dull one. The dull one, please. Take your time. I did turn to my 16 year old today though, and I said, can you just tell me if I do anything right today? Just let me know. Like if I do one thing that you're not mad at me about, that'd be great. We are talking about a man who has an entire Wikipedia article called Views of Kanye West, and it's over 13,000 words. That is what Google, 13,000 words is what Google calls

[04:31]a short novel or novelette. Okay? We're talking about Kanye West, 808s and heartbreaks. So clearly what the world needs is our take on it, right? If Wikipedia has 13,000 words, I'm sure we're going to say some words that haven't been said before. Well, listen, if you wanted four white guys take on something, there's no better place to find that than in your podcast app. The podcast app is full of four white guys telling you what they think. They love to do it. It's in our, I don't know what, it's in our DNA or something. We were born to do it. Listen, let's turn on, let's not mess around anymore. We got to get done with this

[05:00]because I don't even have a timer on my screen. I don't know how long we've been going. Should I start a timer on my phone, Matt? Would that make you happy? Then I can ignore that. It would make me happy, yes. I'll ignore that too. Why don't I start it so I can see it? How about that? Okay, yeah. Why don't you start it and just chime in every once in a while, even though it doesn't make sense to when people listen to the edits. Let's turn on K-Rob. Now, of course, we are up north, so sometimes K-Rob can have some troubles. Now, K-Rob get like Blue Jays games up there? Yeah. No, what they get is a TV that nobody knows how to work until I get up here. Okay, I'm just like, you just go to Google.

[05:31]You just go to the, you just cast it to Google. It's the input button. You shouldn't be watching TV. You should be out enjoying nature. I'm not watching TV. It's my 16-year-old. Once again, back to that. I don't want to, I'm doing fine. Hey, let's turn on K-Rob. What? I am, along with the clock, I also made a note to let you know when you're doing something right as a host tonight, so I'll let you know. Just, you don't have to wait for it. I'll let you know. Russell, thank you. I do appreciate it. Tell me anytime you think

[06:01]I'm doing something right, Russell, just chime in. I need that positive affirmation. I'm not getting a lot right now. Okay? Hanging out with my family. Nobody thinks I do anything very well. All right, here we go. Let's turn on K-Rob. What's up, everybody? Welcome to K-Rob, K-R-O-B. You know what you like to do at the bar. Late at night, I'm at the bar and I'm hanging with my bros and we all know why we go up to the window because we buy some pool tabs. Rip them up.

[06:30]We're going to win at pool tabs. Nice. Get a big plastic basket of pool tabs. We all walk up to the window, see Miss Athman from Richfield. Look at how many winners are left like a real pro. We have 50 bucks, so we got to do it real slow. I lose all mine, but you win too. I turn and say, hey, that's real good for you. Red lines on the winners. They thrill me. This should be my number one hobby.

[07:00]End up with mounds of paper, but we won 20 bucks, so we're winners. We'll pull them all until we're done. Then we'll just tell everyone how late at night I'm at the bar and I'm hanging with my bros and we all know why we go up to the window because we want some pool tabs. Wow. Nice. I was going to tell you, Rob, that's a great song, very timely based on what we've talked about.

[07:30]The guys, my buddies that have won at pool tabs are not the guys who listen to this podcast. You thought you were making a friend for someone and no. Damn it. Wait a minute. How many friends do you have, Russell? More than you. You have so many friends. How many friends do you think you have, Russell? No. Number-wise. Just say it. That I could call on the phone and have a chat with and it wouldn't be really weird? No. Okay.

[08:00]Do all the guys on the text chain count? Do you have all their names in your phone or is anyone still at 1420? I do have one number that is just the number and not the name. I'll be honest. I did the same. The most recent addition because I was like, well, I know who that is and I got to have it for memory's sake. Can I just say this out of respect? On the Wordle text chain that I'm on, there are two people whose names are not in my phone. I'm just going to say that right now. Out of respect to these co-hosts, I don't want to have their wives' names in my phone because if I had to pick

[08:30]a picture to go with it, which is Matt's new favorite hobby, by the way, I love those. I feel like I could get myself in trouble. Speaking of pull tabs, though, I did have a buddy who does listen to the podcast reach out about a week ago, sends a few of us a picture and it says, hey, I'm raising money for my kids' baseball organization like the in-house or traveling league or whatever, selling raffle tickets 10 bucks a piece. You know, perfect opportunity for Uncle Russ to jump in, support some kids' teams, right? It's absolute. So text him.

[09:01]I'm like, hey, I would love to support it. Buy some tickets. So I buy some tickets, send him the money. Later that night, they pull the raffle. Russ wins 800 bones in the raffle. Oh my God. 800? Woo. That's crazy. What am I going to play to that? I'm still waiting to open my mail at some point to see if there's a check in the mail at some point. But part of me felt like I needed to like reinvest it in the league and just say, why don't you guys keep it and go buy some bats

[09:30]or something? Russell. Yeah. The fact that you even had that idea is good enough. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about following up on that. The fact that you even thought that makes you a good person. You know what I mean? But then I figured there's probably some legality where they can't just keep the money. Like they're already running like an illegal raffle. Well, that's like, I better when I get money. I coached at a school in Northern Minnesota where as a coach,

[10:00]I got the nicest gear, like varsity letter jackets as coaches, which you don't think is going to be cool, but it's cool as shit. I'm not going to lie. It's awesome. Why have you never worn it? Why have you never worn it to Las Vegas? Because it has a giant Native American head on it. I'm just going to say that right now. Oh my God. I can never wear it again. Okay. But up there, guess what? Everybody loved it. Okay. Didn't wear it to the state tournament though. But it turns out that the whole football program was sponsored by the pull tabs

[10:30]at the bar. And I was like, there's no way that's legit. Like that was like pre-NIL. And this was a school where like, I'll just say like famous hockey players just happened to have a job for the person's dad. It's like, oh, are you moving from Seattle to the Canadian and Minnesota border? Wow. What a coincidence. Your son is one of the best high school players in the nation. That's crazy. Wasn't like a large part of the U.S. Bank Stadium paid for like, with like electronic pull tabs? Yeah. Like 10 years early. Who are the sick degenerates

[11:01]that are playing electronic pull tabs? I have it on good authority. Uh-oh. Good authority. Uh-oh. Because there's town team baseball teams and locations and stuff that make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year off pull tabs at the bar. I believe it. And it's not multiple hundreds. It's in the six figures, low six figures. Let's just say. Let's just say that. Because of the addiction to it. And we got it up here at the lake up in North Dakota. They do like

[11:30]machines. So it's not like slot machines. They're essentially pull tabs. And it, the people are just unbelievably hooked. It's unbelievable. I mean, they've got these theories about it's the first, I just heard this whole theory about it's the first, you know, we're at the beginning of July here. So it's beginning of the second quarter. So that's when they pay out. So you get all this. It is just degenerate shit. I all the time. It's the same number of senators that I do. Sorry, I'm not going to do it. Yeah. Luckily,

[12:00]they've got a lot less electoral votes. But it is something Russell like pull tabs. If my friends are like, hey, you want to go do some pull tabs? I'd be like, yeah, that's fun. I'll go out. That'll be good. Sure. Yeah. I mean, I gamble. I'm with it. If my friends were like, hey, do you want to do E tabs? I'd be like, that sounds like we're getting into it. You know what I mean? Like that sounds like anything. Yeah. You want to go to Mystic Lake or do you want to throw craps in the back alley with some guys I just met? Like that's how it feels to me. That's like a thing. So we come up here. I'll play maybe once or twice,

[12:31]you know, and we'll throw 50 to 100 bucks in, right? Like once or twice a summer kind of a thing. But we are taking it as slow as humanly possible and celebrating every $2 win and things that people are just looking at you like you're crazy because there's people that are just literally hammering the machine. You know, just it's, it's unbelievable. I don't know. I mean, and it's all, the lake benefits, right? Because like whatever the recreation association or whatever gets the money, but you know, you know that there's like 10 people

[13:00]that are funding 80% of it it seems like kind of a deal. You know, it's bad when you go out and you're like, does that loon have a diamond earring? We're doing too much on Bull Dads. Is that a green diamond or a blue diamond? Please be a blue diamond. Please be a blue diamond. Russell, the bottom line is, is that you're a winner and we've always known that. Okay. We've always, you win at blackjack every time we play, you win at pull tabs all the time and now you're winning raffles like crazy, which kind of makes me, you want to, hey, this Saturday, Russell, you know what Hackensack is doing? Meat raffle.

[13:30]Can you please come up and visit me? Take me to the meat raffle and let's win some meat. Now, the last time I went to a meat raffle, of course, I went with my friend Greta and they went up. This is the $20 steaks. This is the $30 steaks. This is the $40 meat packages. This is the $50 meat packages. Now, those of you that have never had seen a meat raffle, you're in a bar and there's just, packages of raw meat from the store. I'm wondering about the food safety issue here. So what, yeah, tell us how the setup looks. Aaron, the places you eat, you're telling me

[14:00]you're worried about the tequila and clear bottles with no labels. What are we talking about? Aaron, I don't know if you want to talk to me about it because I recently was in my barbershop and a guy came in with pork tenderloins that he had obviously just stolen from the grocery store when selling them out of a plastic bag and I thought about it. I was like, how much is it per pound? What are we doing here? Did you cut that in any way? But yeah, so, and then it gets to the $50 prime rib and a whole package of sirloins and Greta and I each buy like five tickets

[14:30]for the round. I win both and there's like a hundred people at the bar. I win both and I said to Greta, I go, take this ticket, walk up there with me. I cannot go up there and tell them I won both of the top prizes of the whole night. I said, everybody will be too furious. So Russell, would you participate in a meat raffle, Russell? Yeah, I've done a meat raffle before. In fact, I did a meat raffle once. I was on a date with someone. We were at kind of a dive bar. It was like a second or third date. It was like a couple months ago. It was fun. It was a couple months ago.

[15:00]It was a second date and it was a couple months ago. New lady? A couple months ago? Something like that? I don't know, man. I didn't want to tell you what meat she won that night. Oh, I was going to say. No, no, no. The lines. No, no. Actually, it's not because what I'm going to say is actually quite classy. The lines that you could have taking a date to the meat raffle, Russell, are endless. You know what I mean? Like, you could be talking about meat. Everything could be a double entendre. Double entendre. Double entendre. Like, you get out their little pork medallions and you're like,

[15:30]hey, that's a regular size. You know what I mean? Like, you see the tenderloin and you're like, oh, don't you hate it when that meat is so big? I've got four guys here. I've got three guys here who once again have nailed how to get no downloads on a podcast episode. This is good. We can say whatever we want. Nobody's going to listen to this one. I've got Russell in Minneapolis. Russell, how are you doing? Rob, your Vegas roommates are like your cock cage keeping your love locked down. Wow. You lose. Wow. I've got Matt

[16:00]in North Dakota. Matt, how are you doing? Good, Rob. I did some things, but that's the old me. That's the old him. It's new Matt. And I've got Aaron. Now, Aaron was telling me that on the news recently, a monk in China saw a picture of, you know how they see things sometimes like in a, in a, in a, in a, a margarine tub, he saw a picture of Jesus. A monk saw a picture of Jesus in a margarine tub. And you know what he said? I can't believe it's not Buddha. I got Aaron

[16:32]out in California. Aaron, how are you doing? How could you be so heartless, Rob? Hey, I've never been more excited to talk to you guys and less excited to talk about the album that we're talking about. It's true. We haven't talked to you guys in so long. It's weird. We did so much foreplay before the episode after we haven't talked for so long. That's why. Usually it's like, hey, let's put your suitcase in this room, pull your jeans down. We'll, they'll catch us

[17:00]downstairs a little bit. All right, let's get into the voicemail. What do we do now? We do the voicemail, right? Jeans down. That sounds. You like that, don't you? Yeah. We do the voicemail. Let's get to the voicemail. Let's get your jeans down and see what's going on. Rob, just, I was going to give you some feedback. You are not doing anything right. We have an hour or two minutes to go. That's terrible. That's really bad.

[17:30]Okay. And again, Russell, I don't need to be told what I'm not doing. Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. Okay. Like some people would have said, oh, Rob, you had all day. In fact, you've had multiple, you've had like five weeks. You definitely downloaded this voicemail to play tonight. And I would say to you, of course I did. What do you think I am? Some sort of idiot? A, some sort of idiot whose dad's computer won't drag. Okay. Here we go. Hey, Rob, it's your cousin. I just wanted to say that in case you guys hadn't seen it yet, you should watch the Becoming Led Zeppelin documentary on Netflix.

[18:01]See ya. Now that is a nice short voicemail. Now I texted you guys. Is that Emerson? Was that Emerson? Is he back to listening? Cousin Emerson will be sitting at the very table where I'm sitting right now in less than 24 hours. He will be here. Wow. Okay. I look forward to his thoughts on all the recent episodes he's been listening to. Right. I don't really consume media about music. I think people should just listen to the music instead. Oh, God. Don't you read books

[18:30]on music all the time, Aaron? That's true. Yeah, that's probably true. You read books about music. I saw this documentary and I was fascinated by this documentary. Really? You know, how these bands start and how they get from point A to point B and, you know, kind of where they took off and all this stuff. You know, I think the, the thing that, and this is me being very much not remembering names or places or anything like that, but, um, guitarist Jimmy Page. Right. You know,

[19:00]and then who is the bassist? Uh, John Paul Jones. John Paul Jones. Those guys literally are essentially the wrecking crew for like three or four years. They were just doing everything they possibly could. Jimmy Page is a, just a complete guitar nerd, right? Like cannot get enough of it. He's kind of like the kid who plays baseball but just hits a thousand, a thousand balls off a tee every day kind of a thing. But for the music side of it, you know, he's obsessed with it. You understand why he got to be where he was at because of, he put in the work. He didn't just fall into it.

[19:30]You know, I don't know Aaron and I, this is what I gotta, I gotta go back and try to figure out, you know, how much they stole versus how much they just loved the blues and stuff that was coming out of, uh, United States because they all were just obsessed with it. Um, but, you know, they played their instruments. They played, they made, they made those songs. They were unbelievable from an early standpoint, your early time in their career. Um, they just took off right away because they were a new sound, uh,

[20:00]coming out of the UK that really blew up in the United States before they went back to the UK. But it's a great documentary. There's some old footage that like even the guys didn't, you know, hadn't seen there at some festivals and 68 or something. They're like, Oh, I've seen pictures, but I've never seen like live, you know, look, let us live at this, at this festival. And stuff like that. So it's really great. It's really great. I just thought to myself, I said, you know, if I had a time machine, I'd love to go back and go to an early Led Zeppelin show. And then I was like, why don't I just watch the documentary?

[20:30]I'll get to see early Led Zeppelin, which is what I want to do. Man, you hooked me. I got to watch this documentary now. This might, you know what this, this is kind of a doc, like a dad documentary might sit down with my dad and be like, dad, let's watch a documentary about early Led Zeppelin. He's like, Oh yeah, son. I've always loved you. I'm sorry. I've never said it to you before. What dad? I was sitting at the TV. This Chromecast doesn't fucking work, but I'm not going to give you a hug. That's too far. That's one step too far. Is there anything else you love dad?

[21:00]How long, Matt, did it take him to take off? And was it, was it under five years? Just, just curious. Asking for a friend. Yeah, pretty much. I think it was in 18 months. They kind of did, you know, like, all right. Okay. Yeah. So you want me to tell you what you're doing right? I think they even said in the documentary, they said, look, if we can't make this thing go and in 12 to 24 months, like we should just quit. There's no point in even continuing. We should just move on with our life. See,

[21:30]the problem is if I would have written a whole lot of love, I've got so many good ideas with what the parody song would be of whole lot of love. I mean, the word whole is right there. You know what I mean? Anyway, let's get into what? It's time. Maybe that's the difference. Everybody's up to it. Everybody's like, I like Led Zeppelin and Beck did it better, but Beck did it better is way dirtier. Listen, let's get into rolling going. I got to hear what you guys are up to. We haven't talked in five weeks. We must have so much interesting stuff that's happened in our lives

[22:00]that we have to talk about and shaking his head right now is Aaron. Aaron, what's going on with you? Rolling going on with you. So much content. You guys are going to be floored by all of the things I have to say. Wow. First thing I made a discovery. I've realized something. Okay. It's July. What is it today? July 10th? July 10th. Yes. School sucks. Did you know that? Yes. Fucking sucks. Yes. What do you mean? Thank you. Summer is way better. Like we like school sucks.

[22:32]It absolutely does. I, I mean, we, we walk to school, so we're super blessed. Like our days are, our school days are great. You know, I walk to school. It's a nice vibe, but man, like in the summertime, he's going to summer camp. He's outside all day. We go pick him up from camp. He's like, no, I want to stay longer. He comes home. Like, I guess lately he's been staying up late, but he comes home. He's like chill and tired. Cause he's been outside running around. It's like a good break from any, you know,

[23:00]if you've been, if you've been with the same people, like we have a relatively small community. So it's like, you're with the same people all the time. You start kind of like getting at each other too much. And then took a break for the month of June. Didn't see anybody. And then went camping with a group of folks from Wallace, the school. And it was beautiful. It was like, Oh, you guys, it's great to see you. We haven't seen you for a while. And then we're not going to see you again until August, like summer. So much better. But how is his long division here? Just take it over. Just take it for me. Would you suffering Russell?

[23:30]I'm just going to say one thing to you right now. You spend a week with the parents of your kids. Friends. How does that sound to you? Does that sound like a good time? We did a weekend. We didn't do a week. We did a weekend. Like this is Aaron's community though. Like I think to me, one thing you got to, and maybe this applies to you, Rob, like these are Aaron's people now out there. He didn't grow up out there. He doesn't have college and high school friends from out there. These are his people. This is his chance to socialize with people other than when he gets dunked on

[24:00]in basketball. Here's the thing is when, when you pick friends, even as an adult, you get to pick them when it comes to your kids, friends, parents, you don't get to pick those. You don't. Those are your kids, friends, parents. And so I'm, I'm just telling you, but Aaron's kid is young enough where he could steer his kid like away. You can curate it a little bit. You curate it a little bit. I will tell you guys, and I don't, I don't want you to think that I don't want you to think I'm looking for any kind of special treatment tonight, but I will tell you that I was trying to plan my weekend.

[24:32]As you guys know, cause I got a party to go to on Saturday night. I was trying to get to a ballers game one night this week, which I think isn't going to happen anyway. But I asked you guys what night to record. We said Thursday. And then, and then some dads said, Hey, we're going to see Superman on Thursday. I said, Nope, I'm out. I'm doing my podcast. And I said to a friend of mine, I said, I usually make it a, make it a policy not to miss real life events for a podcast, but I miss these guys. We haven't talked in so long. And he said, you know what? Zoom with your friends is real life.

[25:01]So once again, props is my friend. That's what I've been saying the whole time. Like, I feel like you've been ditching your like long, long, and you know, I'm, and I'm kind of on the outside of that. I'm talking about like your main man, Russell here. You're ditching, you're ditching Russell time. Wow. To go watch Superman down the street. No, no, Aaron and I have seen each other within the past week. Wow. And that wasn't even as rolling gone. Didn't even mention it. Kind of a dick move by not mentioning that.

[25:30]I was saving it for next week. I didn't want to, I didn't want to. I will just give a quick update. A stone fruit season off to a really slow start. Uh, peaches right now. Kind of tough. Uh, I went to the farmer's market Tuesday afternoon. And, um, yeah, the double wild farm wasn't there. River dog farm was the June prides are kind of small right now. Plums are okay. I should know this. Do cherries count as stone fruit? Cherries are stone fruit. Actually we did. Yeah. We did have a good cherry season. That's almost cherries have been awesome around here. That's true. Yeah.

[26:00]That's a good point, Matt. I shouldn't, I shouldn't discount that. Cherries have been good. Did you say plums? Yeah. Plums aren't a stone fruit. What? They're not. Are they? Don't stone fruits have things in the middle. Isn't that the whole point? I still, I still don't know what a stone fruit is. I've never eaten a plum. Yeah. I was going to say. Okay. Can I just say Russell, did you hear the question you just asked me? Did you, did you ever eat a plum? He asked me if I've ever eaten a plum. Of course I haven't Aaron. That sounds disgusting. A plum is something a medieval boy gets out of a pie instead of fucking birds.

[26:33]I think I'm getting those switched up. I'm not eating a plum. You know what I'm eating Aaron? Nerd clusters. I'm eating nerd clusters because I live in 2025. Can you imagine if I gave like King Richard a hot Cheeto? He would go fucking crazy. They say in Shakespeare's times, apples tasted like potatoes. Think about that. Apples tasted like potatoes and we still decided to eat them. Bad. Are nerd clusters the best candy invention like of,

[27:02]of, of our time? I mean like how, where have nerd clusters gone? I have no idea what a nerd cluster is. I didn't even know such a thing existed until they were giving my niece them. Can I show you this? Third base. Yeah. Hey, look at this. This is the nerd cluster. Russell is this look, Russell, are you looking at your screen? You're very, you're screwing me up because you're looking at the side. This is a nerd. You haven't done anything right yet. A group of nerds. And it's around, what's it around? Like a jelly bean. What's in the middle of a gummy kind of a thing.

[27:30]It's just perfect. So Russell, it's nerds around a gummy. Okay. So you're eating nerds except for the worst part of eating nerds. Do you know what the worst part of eating nerds is? Stuck. You have to, you have. What? What'd you, what'd you, what'd you just fucking say to me? They get stuck in your teeth. Nerds get stuck in your teeth. How far apart are your teeth? I mean, how do nerds get stuck in your teeth? Oh, you mean like in the back? When it just kind of, you know what? It's like repairing a dent in the,

[28:00]in the white wall. I just kind of like, I'm like, okay, that's what my teeth are shaped like now. They're full of nerds. No, it was when you had to dump the nerds box into your mouth. Cause there's no other way to eat nerds than just like this. You can't pick out a nerd. You have to go like this. And it was embarrassing as hell. Russell eating nerds. Am I going to have the grape? Am I going to have the cherry? Okay. Guess what? I'm going to go from either end. Okay. That was the great thing about nerds. They kind of, you guys, I feel like you guys didn't eat as many nerds as I did. I feel like I'm the only one. Don't get me started about the Halloween size nerds.

[28:31]Not enough nerds in that box. And now Russell with nerds clusters, you can eat nerds like a gentleman out of a bag with your hand. Okay. Russell, will you go get some nerds clusters and report back to us? Oh, they are nerd clusters again. God damn it, Russell. What are you doing? What are you looking at? Oh, I just went on a rant. That's one for the ages. Everybody's going to love it. First, my plum rant. That's an old timer. And now I just went on a nerds rant. That's why I'm not eating plums, Aaron.

[29:00]I've never eaten a plum. Russell, have you ever eaten a plum? I stuck my thumb in one once. I already fucking made that joke. God damn it. You're going to wake up your whole family. Guess what? Nobody else is in this cabin. And nobody else is even on the point. I can yell as much as I, what's that metallic sculpture is vibrating. I can hear it. Like I'm fucking Captain America. All right, we got to move on. How's it rolling going with Matt? Matt's got some good stuff to tell us. Good. I just, uh, I'm pulling a Brian from East St. Paul.

[29:30]Made my two cookies for the night. Oh, two. Man, that is so baller. Matt is, is it better than a nerd, a nerd cluster? You know, I'm not the biggest nerd cluster fan. My kid loves, loves them. So we got some of the dollar store and Velva the other day. Oh God. So, yep, it was good. The freshest of nerd clusters. Uh, Rob, make sure this first package goes to the dollar stores. They need to be resupplied immediately. Sorry. Right. Can you pull up a song for me? Of course.

[30:00]What's your, uh, can we listen to everything is peaceful love by some guy. I think it's Bonnie there. No, it's Boney Bear. Wow. Now, Mario. Wow. This is a big deal. This is a big moment. Your relationship with Boney Bear. I'm just going to say it's complicated. So now let's just listen to this just a little bit, because this is a great song. I'll admit his new album. I feel like he's actually singing on his album here.

[30:32]Wow. And I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm trying to understand from go halfway through or something. I guess we didn't know that. But didn't Boney Bear sing on that famous song? You know what I'm talking about? I don't know. What is the most famous Boney Bear song? That's not Taylor Swift. Well, no, but his really famous one is, uh, that love the one where he's singing real high. Hold that one up.

[31:01]Now let's, let's just hear this skinny love. I do not know that song. I don't know any Boney Bear songs. I only know the, I know the guest sponsor, but I don't know the guest sponsor. He's done on like hip hop tunes. I don't know any of his songs. Everybody knows this song, right? Oh, okay. Yep. Yep. Okay. Yeah. This is what I think of a Boney Bear.

[31:34]I mean, he's singing here, right, man? Is there a Boney Bear that I'm missing? But if you don't like put this to the max volume, maybe I got to listen to headphones or something like that. It is, to me, then again, I'm not trying to shit on him at all because I know he's popular and all this stuff. It is unbelievably slow. And I don't know, like I just, I don't, I think he distinguishes anything, but his new out, his new song, whatever it was, it came on the current couple of weeks ago. And I'm like,

[32:00]Ooh, I better, you know, at least give the guy some props for putting out. He's changing. He's changing his, uh, his, his musicality. I don't know. So it'd be interesting to see a documentary on this and how he came out with this album compared, to what he started out with in early 2000. So I think it's, I can imagine what we really need is the sliding doors. One was between John from Edina and Bon Iver from wherever the fuck he's from in Wisconsin. And we get a, we get a rewind, rewind, rewind, the same person. So, so, so clear. There were a thousand texts today about Bon Iver,

[32:31]someone from Wisconsin, Aaron Rogers. I had no idea what was going on. What, why are we even talking? What, what are you guys? Someone's got to explain what's going on to our listeners who don't know what you're talking about. Nobody else is listening. Russell, I have no clue. I don't, I don't remember busy not looking at the text chain today. I don't remember how it came up, but somehow Manny from South St. Paul said, I need to know what Matt's disdain or what his take is with Bon Iver. And I don't remember how it came up.

[33:00]Paul, is that from a long time ago? You talked about it on the podcast. You've mentioned it, but like a long time ago, like, was it recent? I don't remember. You might be doing a relist. You might be listening to us as he goes to sleep. Yeah. I don't know. And it'd be, Robby, have you ever, do you listen to Bon Iver at all? No, just that one song. I tell you, I think you as an adult enjoying something you didn't enjoy before is a huge step that I can't even comprehend. Like I can't even comprehend me saying, I don't like this. And then saying, well, I better give it a chance. Let's try to get into it. I'm past that.

[33:30]I'm too old. I don't know, man. Yeah. Well, I mean, the only reason I give it a chance is because it came on the radio, you know, it came on the radio. So I would not be seeking out Bon Iver's new album. If that makes sense. Manny may have also been confusing that when Aaron chat all over the Kirill King album. If you remember that's true. Those tempos are too slow too, man. I'm not, I stand by that. Those are good songs, but other people did it better. So from what I know, Bon Iver is from Eau Claire, which is an hour to the East of Minneapolis. Just where is that?

[34:00]94. So I think it's just, you know, my former company that offered me a gig, I believe. Right. Wow. You know, you got to go, we've got to keep heading East past Hudson, get over the border, things like that. So, my cousin Emerson went to college there. Guys, full circle today. This is the, why it's the best podcast of all time. We did it. Is he like the president of the college or something? That dude's a smart dude. What was his deal? He not only, we talked about this, right? He not only,

[34:30]they were swingers, right? Yeah. And listen, again, I, I get it. You know what I mean? Fucking other people. I bet it's great. I bet it rules. I bet it's great. But then he also, he changed, he twisted a little bit, right? By he would do a cooking show with them first. Yeah. And they would cook something. Oh, that's right. And then they would screw. You know what I mean? And that's where I would make my mistake. I feel like I would come in and be like, listen, I'm going to do fettuccine Alfredo. Are you sure this isn't lacrosse? This, this is lacrosse. Oh yeah, that's lacrosse. Who cares?

[35:00]It's all the same. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. But that's what I would do is I would make, I would make fettuccine Alfredo and bring it in. Be like, all right, let's eat this fettuccine Alfredo. We just hammer fettuccine Alfredo. And then they're like, okay, it's time to record the fuck video that we do after the cooking. I'd be like, I feel terrible. I'm full of cream. I'll try to wrap this up because we're on a timer, you know, but John, John from Edina's parents are classmates or grew up or something with, I don't remember the dude's name,

[35:31]but Boney Ver, what his real name is. Boney Ver's parents. Everbone. So there's like a connection there where John like knew, him kind of growing up is like, hasn't talked to him in a long time. Kind of like if they saw each other walking down the street, they would know each other, but it's not like they're, they got each other's cell phones or something like that, if that makes sense. So, you know, so John vehemently adamantly defends Boney Ver and John, it sounds like his kind of music to me, kind of a deal. So I, you know, I get it. I get it. Would there be anything fucking weirder than if your parents were like good

[36:02]friends with a rock and roll star? Like it's just your parents. Right. And then all of a sudden, like John, Bon Jovi comes over and they're like, Hey, Robin Ellen, how are you doing? Like, good to see you again. And he'd be like, what the fuck? This is the, this is the weirdest thing in my life. What celebrity would you want your parents to be friends with? Kevin Garnett. God, that would fucking rule. Wouldn't that be me? Can you imagine? Oh, Hey, you got any PSA above seven cards I can sign? I don't.

[36:30]Nine. I got a four. Yeah. I'd probably say Warren Buffett because then I'd be fucking rich. I'll tell you that much. Wait, what? If your parents were friends with Warren Buffett, why would you be rich? He doesn't even give his own kids. Because he used to hook up everybody back in the day when they were first starting out. And so they didn't, he didn't have any nobody class a shares they'd have right now. If they were friends with them from back in the sixties. And you know what? I'd sell those shares for and buy one of his blenders to make frozen drinks with. I had, I had one of his blenders at an Airbnb to make us to make

[37:02]frozen drinks. I got so many ice cream headaches. I need an ice cream headache from a frozen drink is so embarrassing. I love pina colas. You're in a restaurant. Are you doing a bit or did you? Well, that did happen to everybody in my family this weekend. That Mexico. He's he's he's. Wait, it's over. What did you say? It's it's fast. Oh, Warren Buffett. Russell, Russell rolling, going, how's it going? I've got those guys mixed up.

[37:31]I've got a few. I hired Charlie Munger as my guitar player. I'm fucked. We're going to do a trivial pursuit. I'm going to give you categories. I'll look and cover a few of them this week. A few next week. I got science and nature, geography, history, sports and leisure or entertainment. You know what? Can I pick guys? Cause there's one. I always pick. You're the main host. Entertainment. Love picking entertainment. Are you not entertained? Entertainment. This happens to be a music topic.

[38:00]So I figured I'd share with you a few weeks ago, guys, I went to red rock. Finally. I don't think I've ever got to tell you about my cause. We didn't hear about it. Yeah, no, not yet. Rob, maybe pull up a heaven by OAR. Yeah. Oh my God. I forgot it was OAR. Oh, there's only one song that comes up with OAR. Russell on YouTube. You'll never believe what song it was. It's funny. I was going to say, this is not one of the songs I knew from. Oh, I know it's a very popular song and I know it, but in college, this was not one of the big ones. Well,

[38:30]I don't know this one. No, Russell. That's because there was one big one for OAR. What's that? It was crazy game of poker. That's all. Just with us in college. There's a girl night shift about an hour ago. Mr. Brown. There's all sorts of them. But so I had my first trip to red rock. It was about a hundred degrees. You're up in the altitude. So I, I kind of had to tone back any boozing at this event. Cause I was like, this seems like a disaster,

[39:00]right? I got to say doing a concert sober was fantastic. Like, wow. Remember every minute. You remember all the songs. Remember the parts you like, the parts you didn't know the parts you appreciated. It was fantastic. Russell, is there a chance that that Rolling Stones concert, you were just like blackout drunk. That's why you didn't hear any of the music. That's that's been what's happening. I didn't have time. I was standing in line for a t-shirt. I had no time to drink. Can I ask a personal question? Oh, please do.

[39:30]Yeah. I need permission. Russell, can I ask a personal question? Is he not answering me? What's going on? I can't hear you. Can I, is it okay to ask a personal question? Does Rob need to turn the volume off the music off first? No, no, I can hide behind it. Yeah, right there. I, I, I would never know that you were there solo because you never, ever take a picture with the upstairs room. How come we don't take pictures of the upstairs room? Wow.

[40:00]The hard hitting questions of us. I can send you a pictures of us at red rock. Okay. So did you go, did you go solo or did you go with, no, upstairs roommate went to red rock with me. Gotcha. I thought I heard that you went solo and I'm like, I love going to fucking concert solo. It's awesome. So I misheard that. I'm sorry. So Russell's sobering up at concerts. Matt's by himself. Aaron, you and I got to have some concert thing that we need some concert stuff. Yeah. I've been doing it for a while. Okay. I won't wear pants, but you never send us pictures of you and your, the upstairs roommate. I'll send you one.

[40:31]I don't know. Okay. But it was great. A great show. The music was awesome. I wanted to, I wanted to tell you guys about a few things. First opening band, blind melon, no rain. Are you fucking serious? Wow. Now blind melon is touring. That's no, not the opening band was blind melon. Their closing song was no rain. Yeah. But their lead singer famously died in a heroin overdose. I mean, I'm a pretty big blind melon fan. Who do they have? It was the singer sound like him.

[41:00]Cause she had, he was pretty good. I was reading about them. I have a big blind melon. Some of their down songs that I didn't really know. I was kind of reading about the lead singer and all that stuff, but yeah, Rob, they were pretty good, but I will say, of course there had to be the two or three ladies in the front row. We're in the bumblebee costume. Are you serious? Oh, for sure. Right there down there wearing a, for the opener blind melon. Yes. That's dedication. Oh my fucking, you know, Pearl jam's got a famous B side song called B girl.

[41:32]That was after the blind melon B girl. Actually. So just bringing it back to Pearl jam. Just a couple other carry on the things I had to share with you guys. I've decided, I think we've, I've learned this before listening to albums with you guys. These guys have horns and all sorts of instruments. I am down. I think a band with horns and more instruments is so much more dynamic and more exciting and fun to listen to than like your normal three or four piece band. What do you guys think?

[42:00]I need, I need a band with horns. I love it. Yeah, that's the funk man. So that's the way our has the horns or that's a, they had the horns man. Wow. Horns are great. I'll tell you when they might be giants is touring with the horns. It's like a whole different show because there's a lot more coordination going on. You know what I mean? Like it's fun. By the way, I played that song cause I could have sworn that there were horns in it. And then as soon as it started playing, I realized cool. And the gang did not have horns in that song. That's on me. You know what song did Russell, you know what song did have horns. What's that? That wife. I am out of the sky. I had a one long horn.

[42:30]One. Oh my God. This is a song that has a horn. And I'm sure. I could put one horn leader to me. It was a one. I had one horn flying purple people. Wow. I think there was a saxophone solo in that one, right? I was like, yeah, he's sex style. So it doesn't have one. I'm not sure. That's how rock started. There's the two horns. One is for the horn and the purple people leader. And one's for the saxophone solo. That's right. So the cool, one of the coolest thing about the, the show, the lights, you know, that starts to get dark.

[43:00]The lights are shining. The rocks are beautiful. It's amazing crowd. Everyone's having fun. The closing song is crazy game of poker. The famous song from OAR. You can pull it up. And when we pull this up, I'm going to tell you guys what happens in the crowd. And I did not know this was going to happen. The moment the song hits and they get into the chorus, people start throwing playing cards all over. They're flying all over. It's like hundreds of thousands of decks of playing cards. Can you imagine like a beach ball,

[43:32]a big air paint. Now, wait a minute. Decks of cards are singular cards. Well, there's singular cards floating everywhere, but people are probably throwing up, you know, five, 10 at a time. Can you imagine anything worse to clean up as a custodian than playing cards? There is nothing that would be harder to sweep up than playing cards. Like you're just sweeping the same card a hundred times. God damn it. Just light them all on fire. Just kidding. Wow. They're throwing the cards during the concert. Now, of course, this famously is a bazillion minute song.

[44:01]It's eight minutes long. At what point do they throw the cards? The whole song? Or is it just the cards? I guess in the beginning, mostly. I think when they hit one of the hard choruses or something like that, it was amazing. It was, it added so much life and energy to the end of the night. It's a 318, whatever, something like that. This song instantly puts me right back to that house. Oh, this is a, this is a sense memory song for sure. Yes. Now I'm going to pull up a view of Red Rock and we're going to act like we're there with Russell. We're throwing cards.

[44:32]Yeah. Oh, I've been drinking those. So I'm not having quite the, uh, as accurate a depiction as Russell. While we were in Denver, I had to share one of one or two other quick things with you guys to get your opinion on something. This was going to be my sports and leisure, but so we get there the first night. We got here pretty late. We landed like 10. So we're going to go out and get a drink and maybe try to find something to eat late night in downtown Denver. Lodo, as they call it, Rob. Wow. And so we go out. Oh,

[45:00]we ended up in a bar. We get a drink and it's the same bar we'd been to before in Charleston that has, the stuff written on the ceiling, the church and union, which had the, uh, what's the, the art of war sun zoo written on the ceiling. Yep. So eventually we go to this, we find a spot where you're asking about late night food. There's a spot called pony up, which specializes in late night food and has all sorts of French dips. Like that is their specialty. That's a late night food? Is that amazing or what? That's incredible. But also,

[45:30]whoa, that would be something I'm not making on that fuck YouTube show. I'll tell you that. Hey, I know we're about doing orgy, but I got these three different kinds of French dips. So we're going to plow. So we go and we walk up and the upstairs roommate had forgotten to bring her ID with us when we went out that night. So I'm like, well, they might not let us in. We'll try. We go up there, checking IDs. We asked no go. Oh, bummer. So we,

[46:00]and it's about a hundred degrees out. So what did she do? We just, I, I played it cool. I was fine. It happens. Oh, I thought you went in and you're like, well, no later. I got to try these French. Look at, they got a French trip with hot pepper on it. No, we decided we're going to walk back the three, four blocks of the hotel, probably a 10 minute, 15 minute walk back to the hotel. Russell, what a gentleman to pick up her ID. So we walked back, getting pretty hot out, getting a little sweaty. Yes. We get the stuff.

[46:30]We're going to go back to get the French dips at pony out. Okay. We get that took a turn. Yes. They ideas upstairs. Roommate. No ID. We walked back to get the ID. Didn't bring the ID. That's fine. So that happens. I don't even know how to respond. There's no plummets is a great word. The situation starts digging in the purse.

[47:02]I'm trying to think of the next time I'm going to see the upstairs roommate. And how much I want to talk about this. So then she goes, Oh, she starts to get her purse. Actually, I had my ID in my purse the whole time. Yes. An amazing story, which gets me in to get my French dip. And what style of French dip did you get? What was your selection? I don't remember what it was. This was what I don't remember. I have two things to say about that. Fuck any bar.

[47:31]That's still a carding people. What the fuck are we doing? This was like, the whole point of electing this guy president is we don't have to follow fucking rules anymore. This is so fucking stupid. You know what? Like your speed limits. Right. All of it. Whatever. What the hell? God. People are paying taxes. Bars, carding people. It's so dumb. Stop signs with white borders. They're optional now. I mean, come on. Who's, who's reading the sip and tap or whatever it's called in Denver. Second thing I will, a little tip.

[48:00]Uh, my, my lady somehow, I don't know how she did this. And if, if you tell anyone, I'll deny it. She somehow was able to keep an expired ID that she was supposed to send back when it expired. So then I keep that one in my wallet. So then she's always got an ID as long as I have my wallet. So she was, she was, I don't know how she figured that out, but she really nailed the ID question. I am just going to say this, Russell, I feel your pain because if you recall, there was at one point where I was at my happy place, the cabin, and I had to go multiple times to various DMVs.

[48:32]The last place you want to go when you're trying to be in the cabin. Cabin and post offices to get a passport because my upstairs roommate had, had let her both her driver's license and passport expired. And it turns out it's really hard to get a driver's license with no ID, but it's actually impossible to get a passport with no valid license. So what do you have to do? Retake the driver's test in Northern Minnesota. It's such a good bit. I love the good. One more thing I had to share with you quick about the trip. So we're, we're there and,

[49:00]uh, we're sitting at this one bar and there's, um, we're talking about, uh, a documentary or movie. I think the upstairs roommate might've been watching. Oh, she was watching the Bob Dylan movie on, on, um, on the plane. Yep. And so we're talking about stuff and, and, but she says, I watched the Bob Marley movie. So she's saying that I watched the Bob Marley movie on the plane, which is also on the plane, the movie. Wow. So then she goes, he's going on for a little bit and she goes, you know, I've seen him in person. And I'm like, Bob Marley,

[49:31]he died in like 1981. I'm like, I don't think so. It seems unlikely. And do you, do you ever have these moments where your upstairs roommates are adamant with you that you don't know what you're talking about and are insulted that you would even question something about what has happened in their life? There's a time, right? And this happens with my kids too, where I'm just like, is it worth the time for me to just say anything and embarrass it? Like if you're hanging out with somebody that you've been married to for like 21 years and they continue to call it a blue Grotto,

[50:03]you know what I mean? Like the, the playboy Grotto, they keep saying the word Grotto and it happens. You actually are going to more Grotto's than you would expect to on a vacation. And she keeps saying Grotto. And you know, if you tell her actually it's Grotto and everybody has been pronouncing Grotto since the beginning of time. But everybody knows that if you watch all those playboy shows on TLC, we're talking about how the bunnies, the Grotto at the playboy mansion. Not familiar. No idea. It looks like I'm on another one of my weird Rob things where I know a ton about the playboy

[50:32]mansion for some reason. Playboy Island. It's just like if someone confused Warren Buffett and Jimmy Buffett, very similar. Bob Marley, Bob Dylan. That's because that person may probably wasn't listening real closely. He knows the difference. Okay. That does explain the quality of the margaritas at the restaurant I ate at the other day though. Warren Buffett, Bill. Oh, it's not even the name of the restaurant, Rob. Warren Buffett could have margarita, Bill. He could have margaritas. Shit. So my point is, so what would you guys do? Would you,

[51:00]would you say, would you say something if your significant other claims to have seen Bob Marley? That would hit the kids only text chain in my house. Aaron, what about you? Would you say something? Yeah, I think I would say, Oh, I'm pretty sure he died in 1980. I mean, it feels like a reasonable thing you could say. You remember that speech I gave three times. You remember the speech I gave three times about Bob Marley? Cause that's how I started relating it to my birthday. That might shock you that I related it to myself. Matt, what about you? What would you tell your significant other? Oh yeah. No, Bob Marley died in 1981.

[51:30]What's going on? Russ. So eventually you and I, and we, we did pull it up cause the wifi did work at this bar. Rob, she didn't say, Oh, you were right. I've meant Bob Dylan. So I was like, okay, that makes sense. Let me take this full circle. So mixing up people, not a big deal to me. Actually a day later, we're at the OAR concert and they cover stir it up by Bob Marley. Wow. And then two days later, the last place we're eating, we're having brunch at a spot.

[52:00]We're sitting there and there's pictures of musicians all over, right behind the upstairs roommate, a picture, a picture of Bob Marley. Whoa. Wow. It's a sign. Go on Rob. How's it going with you? I'm in Mexico. I got to tell this story. I'm in Mexico. We are taking a ferry over to Cozumel. Everything says, Hey, the ferries are 45 minutes. You go there real quick. We have an appointment at a snorkeling place at three 30. So he said, Hey, we'll get on the two o'clock ferry. We're going to get there. No problem. Right? We drive up. It's just us and a bunch of semi trucks.

[52:31]Okay. If I did send you a picture of the bunks, I said, left it on the way back. So that kind of tells you what kind of ferry this is. Turns out the car ferry is not the one you research. And as soon as we got on, we found out that the trip was going to take an hour and a half. So we were going to arrive at Cozumel a half hour later than our appointment for snorkeling. And it's a semi-private appointment. Who booked this? It's not important who booked it. Okay. But first of all, it's very sweet that you would ask who booked that. Like,

[53:00]how would I book something? What are you even talking about? What are you talking about? I go on something, a website, and I book it. Yeah, right. This was my wife and my mini wife, my 16 year old who loves to plan things. They book this. Okay. They'd fucked it up. Okay. So we, it's a semi-private. So it's us. And it turns out it's just two other people. We are a half hour late and the boat will not go until we get there. Oh, so we show up a half hour late and we have to turn to this couple. And we said, listen, we really screwed up. We're so sorry. You know,

[53:30]we're really sorry. They go. Yeah. That's it. That's it. No, no big deal. No, it's no problem. And it's just this couple and they just go, okay. So we, I was like, fuck. And of course my kids are stressed out. Wife is stressed. I'm actually not stressed out. I'm fine. But we then go out on this snorkel and it turns out to be unbelievable. It's, it's like a snorkeling and you just, we saw lobster and squid and octopus. I mean, it was really, really great. Then they take us to a beach area.

[54:00]We stand in three feet of water, stingrays all over it. They give us guac and chips on the beach. We're standing in the water. We're standing in the water eating guys. One of Rob's favorite places to eat waist deep in water. Hey, where's the bathroom is something I didn't say. I'll tell you that right now. Okay. Yeah. I will have another, you know, I had two beers. That's what kind of trip this was more beers than I've had in the last 10 years. We get back on the boat. This couple is now liquored up.

[54:30]So they are very friendly with us. They're having a great time. They then tell us, yeah, we actually only waited 10 minutes. Cause look, the car ride from the other ferry took a long enough where we didn't actually wait that long. We're like, motherfucker. We get to the end. Now this boat trip probably for our family was $200, right? Four people, 200 bucks. We get to the end that the driver and this other guy who made this meal took us out there to say tips. We depend on tips. We really appreciate it. Thank you so much. We give them the equivalent of basically like 50 bucks each,

[55:00]right? 50 for one guy, 50 for the other. We figured that's pretty good. In fact, I was worried. I was like, I don't know. Does that seem a little low? Like they're so great. So nice. The other guy gives an amount that we had to look up later and converted from pesos. It was $20 total. It was $10 a person. And the guy running the trip took the money and goes, did you, did you have a terrible time? Oh, I was like, my kids and I were just like,

[55:30]cause literally it was just a tiny boat. We were, we were just like, wow, we could, it was, and he, and the guy made a joke and then was like, and then when we got done, we got off the boat and they had to drive him back to their ferry. Cause we had our car. So he had given them the most measly tip that they got mad about and then just kept going. Have you guys, I mean, it was, I, I, we couldn't stop talking about as a family. How can you be a bad tipper on a private snorkeling trip in Mexico? It's not even that expensive. They see how much you handed over and then they, then they did it.

[56:00]Oh, well, that's kind of the wild thing is they had like a bucket. You could put it in, but when you put it in, there's like, there's only two couples. So they just look and see how much you gave. Like it's not private. And they called him out. I don't know guys. What have you ever been with a bad tipper? I mean, isn't it just the lowest form of life on earth? I have some friends that I know are bad tippers, but I, money's different to everyone. To me, if they wanted, if they wanted to charge 400 bucks for the trip or whatever, they should have raised the price. I, I would have tipped more. I don't like when people don't tip more, but money's different to everyone. And some people, maybe 20 bucks seems like a lot to them.

[56:32]So I, I, I don't want to be too hard on people. I don't want to be too hard on people for what they give. It is. It's tough in Mexico too, or other countries where you just don't know what is appropriate or what's expected, or you had an all inclusive. If you're not, I don't know. It, it, it's a, it's always very confusing. So what did you say to the guy? Reddit or something? What did you say to the guy? Nothing. He was fucking hammered too, but I didn't say, I didn't think I'd say anything to him. He was not, he was, I don't know.

[57:00]I, he was like, he was from Texas, from Houston. And I kind of like, if you can, if you can afford a private snorkeling trip, you can afford a better tip than that. And I get like, it's tough to convert from pesos, but he had, he's a, he was a well-seasoned traveler. He talked about all the places he had traveled. And it was just the low tip. I was like, I don't, I, it was just, listen guys. Okay. Should have gone with my other role. Should have gone with my other role and going, yeah, well, I'll tell you who is, and I hate to say this.

[57:30]Cause I think Aaron just said the joke and I'm just repeating it. I hate to tell you who is a small tipper. It's me when I'm making love to my wife. Let's talk about the album. It's small, it's small, but it's incredibly hot. Oh, hot tip. Aaron had a visceral reaction to that. He goes, Oh, listen. Oh my God. I forgot what we're talking about. Yep. Here we go. I forgot what we're talking about. Now we're talking about Kanye West, 808s and heartbreaks. So basically let's put this on his run.

[58:00]You say what you want. Kanye has an amazing run, right? After graduating, this is after graduation before my dark twisted fantasy. The big change here is right. Is that this is the first album after he lost his mother and after an engagement of his broke off. So what this is, is really Kanye's sad album, which is why almost every song is in a minor key. It's, but that's why the paranoid one sounds so weird. All of a sudden he's in a major key and you're like, Whoa, he's talking about being paranoid and it switched up. Russell.

[58:30]Did you notice that too? What's going on? The major. The major key switch. I'll tell you what. I had a key. My neighbor was in the army. He was a major. Oh no. You know what else he was? He was a dad. And one time I got locked out and I did have to do a major key switch. So it was Gerald McCraney who showed up guys. I watched so much major dad. What is my problem? What is my life? There's so much art to take in.

[59:01]And I have watched multiple episodes of major, dad. All this yelling tonight. I love it. Fired up. I know nobody's here. I can do what I want. Check out the window behind me. But so this is a course of the big thing with this album. It's a ton of auto tune, right? And a lot of minor key darker sound. And they say the real inspiration for this is somebody he worked with, which is kid Cuddy, right? Kid Cuddy comes out of this all of a sudden, huge on the scene. A lot of his music sounding a lot like this. And basically Kanye himself has said, this is my most influential album,

[59:31]which is a great thing that he can say, but he points out. I mean, he would say that. I mean, Drake sounds a lot like this kid Cuddy. I mean, you look at Travis Scott, Travis Scott is all 808s. Like this is, this is exactly what he does. This is his album debuted at number one, and it's his highest debuting a single ever with love lockdown debuted at number three. Just to let you know at the 2008 BMAs, he previewed this album by playing a song. This album got no Grammys at all.

[60:00]It got nominated for one little one. Didn't win it. And a lot of people think that's because three months before the Grammys was the Taylor Swift incident at the VMAs. And so the Grammys were like, Oh, we don't want to deal with this person. We don't want to invite him in. Say what you want. Here's the run of albums. Russell, listen to this college dropout, late registration, graduation, 808 and heartbreaks, and then twisted, dark, twisted fantasy. I mean, it's whether you like the guy or not. It's hard to argue with. Those are like, I mean, what is even comparable to that for like a six, seven album run,

[60:30]like Beatles, Beyonce, maybe. I mean, you know, what I mean? Like, what do you think Aaron? Like, and, and of course, I mean, let's just state the obvious. It's really hard to separate the art from the artist in this point, but he's a huge piece of shit. Like, and, and you can say he's, we can talk about it. He's mentally ill, blah, blah, blah, But it's been going on long enough where at some point you're like, he's a piece of shit. Yeah. Okay. So we can all agree on that. But what do you think, Aaron? Am I wrong? Is this a great run of albums or what? I'm trying to think of how many prints had with dirty mind, 1999,

[61:00]purple rain. I know controversies in there too. Yeah. I mean, Prince, Prince had that run his, his goes at least five, maybe six deep in a row. I don't know this one. I mean, we're going to talk about it. I, it's, it's, some might say it's too much auto-tune. So I don't know that this, to me, it's a big gap between what is a graduation and dark twist of fantasy. This one sits in there and I know it's influential. I, I'm never going to listen to it again. I couldn't make it all the way through today. And we should point out,

[61:30]a big part of this is we're just sick of Kanye, right? We've heard a ton of Kanye. And no way when there's no, nothing good we can say, right? Like it's true. Say you will. Uh, you can kind of hear what you're getting into with this album. I think it's interesting though. When it came out, it came kind of came out to mixed reviews. They said, especially online. A lot of people were like, what is this sad auto-tune process? Bullshit. Yeah, I was pretty, I mean, I was still reading the hip hop forums a lot when this came out and people really didn't dig it. So I did,

[62:00]I just never listened to them. I never listened to it start to finish. And I was like, all in on the first three ones. Aren't the ones people don't dig. Aren't those the ones that people always say are the ones that are influential or that are different. And yeah, although you guys know me, my, my, my P Sean for beeps and boops and songs. We got beeps and boops. I don't too many boops man. I'm not trying to like now retroactively hate on Kanye because I, there's plenty of Kanye songs that I loved and love. I think this fucking sucks as an album opener. I think there's better stuff that comes along.

[62:30]But I think the track sucks. Welcome to heartbreak. And of course it's called 808s and heartbreak. It's about the sadness he has, but there's also 808s in every single song. Aaron, what is an 808? Explain it to me. Like I didn't do any research. That's fun. Wallace asked me this today. He said, dad, what's that eight eighties and heartbreak. And I was like, oh, it's 808s. The 808 I believe is the drum machine that was famous in hip hop. And I don't honestly know how much he's using an 808 on this one, but the 808,

[63:00]it was the famous drum machine. I don't know which sounds it's making, but yeah, it was, it was sort of foundational for the hip hop sound. I don't know who made it. I read that there's 808s on every song on this album. I mean, it would make sense. Next up. I think the, the, the, the true hit off his album by far, the most stream song off this album, a heartless. How could you be so heartless? This is a jam, right?

[63:30]It is part of it too, is this is featuring T-Pain, right? He's doing the, is T-Pain doing the chorus on this or not? Am I wrong? I don't know. I didn't read the credits. I might be wrong about that. He's always had a lot of artists on his albums, right? Like dark, twisted fantasy at all sorts of guest appearances. Yeah. Yeah. This is the one that sounds most like beautiful dark, dark, twisted fantasy to me. Like this is to me where he gets the sound, right? Where it's like the balance between what he's trying to do.

[64:00]The future and what he did before. No, that's kind of. Right. He's not on the, he's not listed on the right. All right. I, I must've been listening to that. I, you know what? I do all my research with Google AI, so you can trust me. Uh, amazing with young Jeezy. I mean, thank God. Is this our first young Jeezy appearance on the list? When I got to this one, you tell me Aaron. Fuck. Yes. Let's hear some young Jeezy, right? Also, this was the one, one of the, all time,

[64:30]great NBA playoffs commercials was soundtracked by this song. So I got to, yeah, this one, I got to get props. Man. What's your favorite all time NBA playoff commercial? Or Russell or me. I was going to compare this to like the late, the early 2000 San Francisco Giants lineup. You get like nothing at the top. And then it's like Jeff Kent, Barry Bonds, three, four, just mashed it. Yeah, I think so too, man. I think it's the album starts out slow. And then these guys are like, these two tracks,

[65:00]like really big, really hit. And then of course the, the first single off this album, we have a love lockdown. I was reading a little bit about the auto tune on all this and reading out other artists that use auto tune. And you guys were talking about this artist, Boney Bear. It turns out he's got a huge auto tune song. It's called woods. Rob, if you can pull it up. Woods. Woods. Hmm. I mean, that sounds like a, something that I would take a date with. I would take a date to,

[65:30]and also I have something to talk about. Hey, it sure is fun walking through these dark woods. Huh? Hey, what was it called? Woods? Boney Bear? Boney Bear. It was similar to the meat raffle, Russell. That's what I was trying to say. You famously said though, that you're not, you're not quite ready to, you need some, you need a moment before you're going to get down in the woods. That might've been an after show topic. It's, it's my anatomy, Aaron. Yeah. Like so many of my problems. You can fast forward a little bit to get into more of it,

[66:02]but. Okay. I'll go to where that spikes, you know, the YouTube, you can spike it to see where everybody listens to. Right here. This is a. Matt Boney Bear. Nice. He uses this sound on Hold My Liquor, which we're going to hear on Yeezus like too soon. You know, it's, it's interesting. You know, Rob was talking about bringing things full circle before. This is a, uh, pretty interesting auto-tune track,

[66:32]which I believe is sampled in Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. Wow. Whoa. Nice. This Boney Bear song is sampled. I think so. Yeah. In dark, my, in my Dark Twisted Fantasy. And he's also on the album. Isn't he? Boney Bear's on that album, isn't he? Or not? Oh no, that was Taylor Swift. No, he's on there. Yeah. Oh, I just confused Taylor Swift and Kanye West. Whoops. My bad. Uh, next up. Paranoid featuring Mr.

[67:01]Hudson. Now, is there a chance that this is Ernie Hudson, famous Winston? And that's a quote from Ghostbusters 2. Just in case you guys want to know what I'm doing with my time in the summer. Catching up with my Ghostbusters movies. Russell, is this former, or former Timberwolf, Troy Hudson? Is that who Mr. Hudson is? Oh man. Shut it down. Shut, shut, shut, shut it down. Shut it down. Troy Hudson was on those teams where you're like, oh, they're going to be so good. That old 405 team.

[67:31]We're like, yeah, they went to the conference finals last year. They got a chance. Hudson can do it. T-Hud can carry us. Yeah, let's go. Hey, speaking of NBA basketball, anyone else's upstairs roommate watching summer league? Oh, Russell. Deranged. We might. Just deranged. Can you, yeah. Can you tell her there's a big three game on, and then she comes in the room and we're all sitting there and we're like, listen, we're here to have a talk with you. We think you have a problem. You're watching way too much. Fucking basketball.

[68:00]That's you told me the other day. She was not going to watch summer league. She didn't give a shit about summer league. And then today I got a text of her watching Yohan Baron gear. See your smoke on the summer league team. Just the worst way to dash your hopes as a sports fan. Oh yeah. This guy dropped 30 in the summer league. Marco Bellinelli. Let's go. Anthony Randall is going to pan out for sure. This dude, a guy is going to be great. He's blowing up in the G league. He got a double double last night. Oh, if I, how much money would you pay right now for a due date?

[68:31]eBay Jersey? Zero dollars. That, that one. Oof. Russ Aaron. If you said that to me, I would have you arrested or shot the dick. Just like RoboCop. Murphy. Murphy. Got to say guys, I kind of did like, I was like, I am going to love the RoboCop song. And I kind of did every time he said RoboCop instead of the smile on my face. I mean, can we get some comedic bit about, about how he was in WCW wrestling?

[69:01]Like, I don't like to talk about that. Russell is actually a really sad time in my life. Yeah. Well, I was, I was a big sting lock them up guy. I had started some chance. And, uh, when RoboCop busted him free, it made me realize how wrong I was. Although I was totally high on nuke at the time. And that's a quote from RoboCop too. So if you're wondering what I'm doing with my summer, I'm catching up on the RoboCop series. Yes. There's three movies. And then the remake. I did notice today when you said someone should, someone, you should watch that Led Zeppelin.

[69:31]I was like, why did you're not doing anything? Why don't you just watch it and tell us about it? You see how fucking sunburned I am. You see how red I am. You think, you think I, I got this sunburn just on my own that I wanted to be outside driving the boat. Russell. I love, Oh, I'm begging the kids. Hey, do you guys want to go tubing? Oh, please let me go to me. Oh, you want to play volleyball? Oh, please. Let's go out. Russell. I'm hiding in the deepest, darkest places of the cabin. And the kids can find me.

[70:00]They can smell my fear. They make me do things that I don't want to do. So no, I don't have time to watch a Netflix documentary. I'm too busy with these kids. Now it's true. They don't wake up till 11. So I'm not sure where that, where that disconnect what's happening there. But let me confirm it. You did not bring your video games. I did. I did not, but you're going to find out next episode. How many hours I put on that game since the last time we talked. I saw it. I'm embarrassed by it. I'm embarrassed by it. Big time. Next song, streetlights. This is a song only about some lights,

[70:33]Russell, not all of them lights. That was later. There's specific lights. What a pull. If this wasn't Kanye West, if there was, this was somebody else, would you enjoy this album? It's not my favorite, but I would understand people saying if it's, I don't, not, I don't know what the right word is. New revolutionary, a new way,

[71:01]a new sound, a different sound. I could see that. Matt, is this album as influential as we were saying or not? I don't think it is, but I was trying to pull it. Who's the, what's the orange album that we did early on? Who's the guy? Yeah. When was it? When did that come out? I was thinking that same thing actually today. 2010 or 11, right? I think ocean orange. Seven orange. Oh, my dad's computer keyboard is so different. It's screwed up. It's screwed up my typing.

[71:30]It came out. Okay. I didn't quite have to click. You guys ever do that where you Google search and then have to click. Did you mean to say blank? Okay. Yeah. 2012. That's four years after this Kanye album. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. He was in. Oh, I'm back at red rock. A hundred percent. He was influenced by that. Do we do see you in my nightmares, but Aaron night is spelled K N I G H T. Now that's Pulitzer prize shit right there.

[72:02]There was a video game. This reminds me, there's a taco place in Rochester where the pinball game was black nights. And so we would play it all the time. And the taco place was most famous because the guy who owned it, you would order your tacos and you know, where all these high school boys in there. And if you ask the guy for the heavy hangers, he would pull up a, a calendar of a naked woman and go away, get a load of these heavy hangers. And we would do it almost every day. God. And looking back, the taco guy who would show you the nude woman to a bunch of,

[72:33]you know, there he's not asking him. Speaking of ID, I know Aaron would be like, Hey, don't ask me my ID. What am I? It's porno. Don't do it. It's not American. He didn't know how old we were. Russell, anything you want to say about that taco guy? Is that something you experienced in high school? Heavy hangers. What did, what did you guys, where'd you guys go eat? Russell, do you have a place to go eat in high school where you went all the time? No, we did. We did Perkins like junior, senior year a lot, but that was, all I can remember.

[73:00]Suburban boys. What about you, Matt? What about in the city? We had a taco bell right at 66th and Penn that after every football, I mean, since we, I mean, since it was about seven blocks from my house. So since we could ride bikes at like 10, that's what we did in the summer. We'd go taco bell, go across the Kinsmore job, get our candy and our baseball cards, go back and play wiffle ball and do it all over again. The next day. That's so much like my sex dice. My sex dice said taco bell, wiffle ball, didn't have baseball cards in there.

[73:32]No baseball cards. Then I had standing up. So I was like, Hmm, let's turn this dice sideways. Hey, now we're lying down. I'm sorry. That joke was too funny in my head. Picture it. The dice are sent. Uh, Aaron, where on earth did you go in high school? I mean, what did you guys like go out in a cornfield or something? Bring a sack of lunch or what? No, it was a Godfather's pizza a little bit. Cause then the buffet and then the cup, Godfather's pizza buffet.

[74:00]It was, yeah. Ooh, nice. Coldest winter. Can I tell you the coldest winter I ever had? My kid is born. I'm living in Gilbert, Minnesota. Home of tunas. No home of the gladiator. I'm sorry. Tunas was over at Eveleth. For the month she was born, the month after she was born, it never got above zero degrees. I swear to God, we took her out once for five minutes. She had frostbite

[74:30]where she still gets a red splash on her cheek when she gets cold. Jeez. Hey, hey, didn't do it with the second kid. Okay. So I'm learning. You know what I mean? Where's the coldest you ever lived, Aaron? Cause now New York doesn't get cold at all. Coldest place I ever lived was St. Olaf college, man. Uh, J term, J term junior year was, or no, a sophomore year. Whatever year we took friendship, love, and the good life, Russell, that was the coldest winter I remember. I think it was junior year. Yeah. Aaron, were you getting laid while you were doing friendship, love, and the good life? What are you talking about?

[75:00]Gosh. Well, I'm just wondering, like if you were taking a class called friendship, love, and the good life, and then just going home and masturbating furiously while your roommate was at his one to three, one 20 to three class, that would be a bummer. You know what I mean? Is that not what it was about? What was it about? I mean, think about it. It was a philosophy class. It was all, no, that's the thing. It wasn't, there was no, there was no, I don't know how soft these nuts are while I'm just jerking it off crazy. Erotic about, about friendship, love, and the good life. I can tell you that right now. Do you guys know? It's about one every eight days of my life where I think about how sad I'm going to feel

[75:33]the day I tell Rob, he's got to take this down because of how offensive it is. And every, and every time I'm like, well, maybe he'll, he won't do that stuff this episode. Then I'm like, no, he's, he's earning it. It's going to come down. I would say within the next couple of years. Okay. Aaron, how many, yeah, Aaron, how many promotions are you away from having to just cancel this podcast? I would say one, Matt, maybe one. Oh no. One. Yeah. It's I'm probably at about one to next level up.

[76:02]I might need to think about it. I would say one. I'm not getting that close. I'm just going to say that right now. Aaron, you're already not flying Southwest. That's good enough. You don't need any more promotions. You're doing fine. You're right in the cut here. You're right in the groove. Right in, right in. Okay. And you guys not jerking off quickly while your roommates not there. I did want to say about everybody's better than me. If I would say about that last song, that if it weren't Kanye, I would give him props for being vulnerable on the, on this record and doing things with his voice. That, you know, don't sound good,

[76:30]but sound interesting. Pinocchio story. What's the deal with this? Is this the worst ending to an album ever? Why is this a live version? It's a secret track. Is this? Oh, I get it. Yeah. We, all that's lost. Now we're streaming, right? Yeah. Is this what it was still been CD days? Yeah. Okay. Wow. The hidden track. Live from Singapore, hidden track. Would that would be the place I'd be? Oh, by the way, Aaron, cause I don't listen well enough.

[77:00]You know what I mean? I'd be like, I'm going to be like all these guys who I make fun of and go to Thailand for a little bit. Then I accidentally buy a ticket to Singapore immediately. You know, it's like, you know what I love to do litter. Oh my God. Why are they caning my feet? God, that sounds painful. I have looked up. I look up painting every year. I come up to the cabin because I think about Singapore often. Have you guys looked at a picture of what, Mr. Hudson actually looks like who he is?

[77:30]Where is he from? All that stuff? No, no. Enlighten us. Picture in your mind. Hold on before you click. Picture in your mind. It looks like Winston from the ghostbusters. Okay. I was going to say, Oh, what? It looks like he could have been in UB for like Russell's younger brother. What is this guy? I wish you wouldn't have said that. I have some choice things to say that I'm not going to say now. I'm just saying he's got to say it. I'm just saying he's got to say it. He's got the hair. He's got the hair color. He looks like mentioned powder.

[78:02]Now I'm not going to do that. He's dying or what's the guy? What's the guy in a, well, click on a few others. He looks a little better than that right there. Oh, wow. That picture that comes up on Google. Who did he fuck at Google that got mad at him? Look at this first picture. It's one of the worst pictures I've ever seen. And then you go to images and he's like legitimately good looking, but that is not what Mr. Wow. Mr. Hudson. That's what Mr. Hudson looks like. I never would have guessed. It kind of looks like Mr. Hudson looks like Edgar winner. If he got his haircut,

[78:30]it looks like Macklemore or something. Wow. Hmm. Wow. That's amazing. Now listen, we've rated Mr. Hudson. Okay. We've rated him either a four out of 10 or a nine out of 10, depending on what picture on Google you're looking at. But most importantly, now we have to rate this album. Okay. And I'm going to make this long and drawn out because we don't know how we're going to write this album. This, uh, I almost read what it gets for me. What do we think? Rolling? Well, Tony, this is perfect at two 40 or that's rolling.

[79:04]Well toned. Okay. You might say it's auto-toned. Wow. Two 44. Is this man? So man, I mean, is this a rolling bone? It should have been higher up on the list. Guys shove all the Connie's together. We should have two or three of them right in a row. That'd been great. Okay. Or is this a rolling grown? Okay. We've heard enough Kanye. We don't want to hear any more. Russell, what do you think? Rolling? Well, Tony's rolling bone or rolling grown. Kanye West, 808s and heartbreaks.

[79:30]I see what you guys were saying earlier about how many albums do we need from Kanye on the list? This is four at this point in the top two 50. Is that right? Yeah. Yes. What are we doing? Like we've done great. We did later. We did call dropout. We did dark twisted fantasy. Graduation. Graduation. This is fit. This is five, right? Five. Yeah. That's too many. Yeah. That's too many. And I don't, I, this for me, if I were to go to listen back to him again, this probably wouldn't be the one I would pick. I do. I think there are two songs that I could see putting on,

[80:00]on my wind amp and enjoying them. But the auto tune is a little bit too much for me. It's not my favorite style of music. So I'm going to say rolling grown a little too high on the list. Aaron rolling, well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown Kanye West. Yeah. I'm with Russell too much. Kanye on the list, too much of the same sound on this album, heartless and amazing are great, but I'm going to leave the rest and call it rolling. Grown. Matt rolling, well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown. You know, when this came up, I remember the auto tune and how it just took off.

[80:31]And I never liked the auto tune. I mean, there's some cool songs that have some auto tune type things on them and stuff like that. I don't know. So is this influential from, for like a group of hip hop albums from 2008 to 2016 ish? I don't know. Probably, probably led to a whole different genre. It probably helped the, uh, my space era or whatever that was. I got some of these people kick off, like the sound cloud, things like that. Sure.

[81:00]That helped immensely because it was more computerized than anything. So it probably was influential. I just, again, too much Kanye. We've, we've talked about it. It's not an album for me. I think it's rolling. Grown should be way down the list. If even on the list. I do say though, when you listen to like maybe the weekend or Frank ocean, or it makes more sense when you realize this album was kind of the first one to be this heavy, but unfortunately you guys are incorrect. Okay. I tried to say something real there and floundered almost immediately.

[81:30]This gets a rolling auto-tune deep press shown. You press shown. When you think about auto-tune you think about, of course the number one auto-tune song. Everybody thinks of share believe. Oh, okay. It's fun. Lil John, the video where the guy humps through his floor. Oh yeah. The black eyed peas on for some reason I was way into him. I bought the album by accident. It's on my phone still. What do all of these things have in common? They're fun. This album would be like if Peter Frampton got on his guitar voice thing and

[82:02]said, do you feel like you are sad all the time, even though there's nothing to be sad about? You'd be like, well, that's not, not as fun. I don't want to hear that a million times right now. Thank you for laughing at that Peter Frampton guitar. I could not have another nurse bluster plum discussion to hear what you do about it in post. Oh my God. I can't wait. Hey, sorry, dad's computer. You're going to be chugging processing. I don't get it.

[82:31]Cause he's downloading so many movies. I torrents are just full of he's learning Japanese. I don't get next up. He has computers chugging. He's Rosetta stone. Ty he's learning to speak Thai. I don't understand. Next up. That would be a bummer. Wouldn't that? Sorry. Next up. I don't know. Russell come back. Now this is about you and me next up.

[83:01]Cocteau twins with heaven or Las Vegas. And the problem with this album is I know Russ and I tried to start a similar band. It was called cock to small twins. No, when you want to hear about the greatest albums. Oh shit. Now I got to think of a new opening joke for the next podcast. Well guys, wouldn't you say your cock is too small though? Like no matter what, I would. Yeah,

[83:30]I think so. I've got the perfect podcast for you. I mean, I was two guys in the, I bet the Guinness book of world records guys didn't let them. They stole their name. They're right, Rob. Like you got, you know, those guys aren't, aren't, aren't, uh, well endowed. If the twin motorcycle guys had huge cocks, that would be one of the biggest surprises of all time. Like if you actually read what they got, the Guinness book of records of war, and you're like, Oh my God, are just twin cocks. This is crazy. Twins with the biggest, biggest cocks. Most combined Rob, show me them heavy hangers,

[84:01]right? I'm not sure where the triangle is on my dad's computer. I don't think we can get out of this. One more thing. I did want to give you credit. You laughing at my joke there. You finally did something right. You did something. You got it. Oh yeah,

[84:31]that's right. It's the long version. Oh, it was nice.
