Green Day: American Idiot (2004)

[00:00]I was suspicious because my wife said she was putting it in a heat pump, and then I saw Dwayne Wade walking from my house. I was like, well, that's... Russell, you're muted. Whatever you just said, Russell, you're muted. It definitely wasn't a bit about Birdman, Birdman, Birdman. It would have been worse if she was like, I'm putting in a Cavalier pump, and then it was Dwayne Wade from his three months he's been with the Cavaliers. Oh, my God. The Cavaliers and Dwayne Wade bit. A classic. I feel Cavalier about classics these days.

[00:30]Rob, who would be the worst heat player if your wife cheated on you with the heat player? Is it Ronnie Cycli, the one that would make you the most depressed, or who would it be? It would probably be... Who was their center? I was all big and hurt all the time. If it was Glenn Rice, wouldn't that somehow connect you to Sarah Palin in some Six Degrees type of thing? Yeah, I would go with Glenn Rice. Wait, was Glenn Rice with Sarah Palin? Yeah, it was like a famous thing where they hooked up when he was playing in Michigan

[01:01]at the Alaskan Shootout or whatever it's called. Oh, I see. Before she was a politician. Can you imagine? You're Glenn Rice and you just drill a corner three to win the Alaskan Shootout and then within an hour or two you're hilt deep in Sarah Palin. That would be incredible. You're banging her doggy style. You're banging her doggy style. You're... Hilt deep. You can't do that.

[01:30]Imagine this. You're Glenn Rice. You hit a corner three to win the Alaskan Shootout. Within two hours you're nuts deep. Rearranging Sarah Palin's guts. You're doing it doggy style so you can both see Russia from her backyard. I did it Rod style. I was going to ask you guys. I went to grab a couple Trulies. Blueberry Trulie is the one I will never drink out of the box. So we now have... We now have like 13 blueberry Trulies in the fridge and no other.

[02:00]So like these have been in there for probably like two years where I will never take the blueberry one. What's the thing in your house? Like the food or drink item that's there that you will never take? My blood pressure medicine. It's terrible. It's just awful. You know what? You know what it is at our house, Russell? What's that? I swear to Christ. Since we've been married, we've had the same thing of honey. We are just... We have a thing of honey. We just do not use honey. You got to get rid of it. Honey, Russell, honey.

[02:32]First of all, honey never goes bad. Okay. I got a lesson to you from ancient Egypt. Number one, cats are gods. They walk among us. Number two, honey doesn't go bad. Number three, when you die, pull your brain out. Okay. Wasn't that the coolest thing, by the way, at elementary school? It's like, you know, elementary school teachers love that shit. They're like, we're going to learn about Egyptians. First thing you need to know, when they died, they pulled their brain out through a hook. Like every kid learned that and you're like, this fucking school fucking rocks. All I'm doing is learning fun shit. Yeah. Little did you know that would literally be the coolest thing

[03:00]you'd learn in school for the rest of your existence. Like if you were learning that shit in high school, you would love it. That's something you'd learn in like fourth grade. All right. Get a lot of blank stares thinking maybe I was the only one who got an Egyptology unit. Egyptology. What about you, Aaron? What's in... Actually, Aaron, I'm curious with that question. What's in your fridge that it just isn't getting gone? Well, there was actually some pomegranate molasses in there that I got excited. I was like, oh, pomegranate molasses, I should buy those. And then we moved them from our previous house

[03:30]to this house. So that was in 2022. The worst. And then I think I finally threw them out about six months ago. I think I used that. I didn't ask you guys about that when I made a drink about 200 episodes ago on the band. Is yours still in there? I was going to try to create my own pomegranate molasses from the seeds. It's sick because I knew Aaron had once owned pomegranate molasses. This is how stupid this podcast is. Is I knew this. But there's always some condiment that I get excited about. about it and then it sits there for years and then i'm like oh i guess i shouldn't about that

[04:00]yeah matt what about you i usually look like in the fridge if i'm hungry or something just looking all over all over all over there's one drawer i just never touched that's the one that's kind of halfway up on the left side for me full of green crap vegetables i just i never go for the vegetables and i'll tell you what the greatest trick the devil ever pulled is to put that little humidity thing that you can slide on the vegetable drawer like you're fucking doing something well i don't want these to go bad i better slide this refrigerator thing all the way to the left

[04:30]guess what it doesn't do shit okay these vegetables seem to go bad all the time okay is what my wife says when she gets bagged salad all right bagged salad my wife buys by bag my wife buying bagged salad is like me buying scratch off lottery tickets about half the time she's like this is fucking terrible i have to throw it away she keeps buying that shit i don't get it you guys don't have anything to say about bagged salad i don't think it's a good idea like you skipped a whole event i was at once because you ate a salad from a machine at an airport so i'm

[05:03]not gonna judge we don't know if it was the salad or all the french fries or the buffalo wild wings buffalo wild wings french fries at 1 30 in the morning i ate about 10 pounds in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums decided by rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise you we'll see you next time bye bye do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better wow folks we are all the way up to album 248 and from 2004 we have green day

[11:00]expected but would love to hear the vibe on how the bell threes are doing so aaron what is going on and i guess this is kind of a wnba in question in general let me say something about this i know this caller yes his daughter is a very good basketball player she's a high school player and he's kind of in the world of au hoops and everything yeah i i don't know how many weekends he travels for basketball but i think he's insane i don't know how many weekends he travels for basketball but i think he's insane he is out of the state i would say at least 10 weekends a year that's such big business that's

[11:31]my that's my sister that's my sister's whole job she runs an au team and schedules what no she has actually she's got multiple jobs but yeah my sister works for an au basketball league sorry not i mean au is the right she's gonna i mean if she i don't know i don't think i'm in danger of her listening to this but yeah she she works for a basketball league and does the scheduling and they like the hotel booking and they've got men's and women's teams and kids come from all over the place like an insurance provider yeah i know my sister's got

[12:03]a job to me yeah this this podcast i thought was was you know just like me in the just like me when my mom was taking a shower i thought we never peaked but i got news for you what aaron just told me right now is shocking this is a new high for the podcast aaron your sister runs an au what well yeah i mean she's adam silver i don't know what her title is but she works for one yeah

[12:30]wait did i say she runs it she does all the scheduling she works with neil from lakeville have like an ongoing text shake because he's him finding out that this is like a full-time job has got to be brutal for him probably it's right up his alley yeah that's probably played in one of her games yeah you schedule stuff all over the country and then people come from all over and she books the hotel rooms and schedules the games and i don't even know what else you've ever fucking we have talked and again the song brings it up we've talked for a thousand hours yeah yeah i have never heard this tidbit yeah well it's actually relatively recent it's within

[13:01]the last i would say year or so this is what she's doing like on a full-time or near full-time basis but yeah it's a huge business time yeah pretty close so who's the most famous player she's seen um well adrian peterson's daughter plays with their with their team i can't remember her name but she comes down so it's like kids from all over the world and she's like i don't know what to do with her but she's like i don't know what to do with her but she's like i don't know what to do with her you know what her name is this is crazy her name is also adrian peterson that's the craziest part is he named his daughter after himself and it works well yeah she comes down from minnesota

[13:33]kids from wisconsin other places sometimes they play in iowa sometimes they travel but like it's wild business but russell i totally so so if you if you like let's say i was like hey we got 18 teams in town i need some sort of round robin knockout tournament you're telling me your sister and you sit down yeah she just wipes the floor with you like yeah oh yeah you're trying to figure this out and she puts it out like she would do it in her sleep yep can i ask wow i want that job yeah if we got anywhere from i don't know let's say 14 guys

[14:02]that i could easily reach out a text chain no problem and we put together an aau basketball team could we come and play in a tournament there's got to be age limits right i don't know i'll ask i mean oh my god maybe it's possible didn't marion revere just tear his achilles in like an old time i think this is now probably a no-go no i don't imagine how much we'd get our ass kicked can you imagine i'd be like the professor out there oh my god russell this is gonna be an

[14:30]one mix tour man you guys i called somebody escalade one sunday morning and only one guy understood only one guy understood i was gonna fucking bring up escalator that's such a good bit yeah mixtape life tour i bet the hours i've spent watching mixtape tour i bet i've spent over a hundred like that's no joke in my life i watched a hundred dollars yeah it's crazy now russell predatory russell you mentioned your friend travels a lot for basketball do you know how many times i think you should travel for a year in basketball well are we are we talking

[15:00]about that third that euro step because i'm good with that zero step the gather step that's the real revolution then zero none it's a violation you guys are making my fun joke not fun when you guys talk about that shit hey our caller had a question they were called they were calling about the wmba they were saying what are our thoughts on the wmba and what like the valkyries are an expansion team i believe this year and guys when this caller hears that aaron's sister runs an au league they're not gonna want to talk about any of this stuff they're gonna understand i will say

[15:30]the people are digging the valkyries their merchandise is very cool so you see it all around town and they got this purple colorway that's nice i know my neighbors watch most games i've actually not watched i don't think i've watched the full valkyries game yet um so i need can i say something brave right now yeah i have not watched i would just not do it because no matter it's gonna sound terrible yeah that doesn't sound like me russell i have not watched a single wmba game but it's not russell russell you warned him but it's not because it's the same reason i don't

[16:03]watch a single college basketball game i just don't watch a lot like i don't have time to watch sports should i be watching wmba like is it is it worth my time to be saying that because i'm down yeah it's a good product but i'm i i mean i don't watch it much either i watched the playoffs last year but i haven't watched a whole lot of regular i watched the last couple rounds with some of the i got i got pretty into that i was cheering for him but but you know what i i like i haven't watched a regular season twins game in i think three years so like i'm a wolves guy i'll watch the

[16:31]occasional vikings game but that's about all i got in my mind can i make a promise to you guys and i've broken so many promises in my life you know what i mean i had sex before marriage i do not take a good job taking care of my family and i went to this whole promise keepers thing and that screwed me over you i will watch the wmba playoffs i will watch the links in the playoffs i will have a good time i'm gonna this is gonna be my entry into it and i said to our fans out there

[17:00]let's watch it together let's get it because playoffs are a time where you can watch sports and it's just the best like it's just the best i think the bay area does a great job embracing its stars in the wmba so like sabrina doesn't really get enough shine here i don't think even though she's from here so i think the bay could do better at that it's no different than here like nefisa collier is probably the best player in the wmba this year and i don't think they promote the wmba stars in this city nearly enough she's an she's an amazing player she's doing a lot of

[17:32]stuff with like uh unrivaled is that the other league or on yeah yeah that's right she is a star and she's got a lot going but i don't think they do enough for it too and actually it's interesting you say this the timberwolves and the links were bought by alex rodriguez mark lori recently and they talked about like the wmba stars in the wmba this year and i don't think they do enough for like getting the feedback from the fans and they put out a a survey and i actually fill out the survey last night and i had the upstairs roommate filled it out too they asked about the links

[18:00]they asked about the wolves i spent about an hour on the survey last night giving them all the feedback i could oh my god because these teams are these teams are the community like you you want them to run these teams right can i tell you as a teacher who gives out a survey at the end of the year for how they thought my class was i don't even open the responses i'm not even looking at those russell those responses aren't getting read you think alex rodriguez is sitting there under this picture of him as a centaur in his apartment looking at your survey there's a chance he would read russell's he's gonna choose something random to read

[18:32]okay guys and wmba playoffs but guess what rob's in and you know what that means we're gonna gamble on it as a text chain okay so here we go come on links over there's no way a betting on another minnesota sports team is gonna screw me over even more let's get into rolling going aaron rolling rolling going how's it going with you it's going great can i i don't know i asked i asked about the rolling going rules last week so i just i want to talk about the album tonight in my rolling

[19:00]going because i want to say that um my son has discovered green day this summer and great band it's just so for me i'm so excited to talk about this tonight because he knows the songs he's into it he has thoughts on them he loves to remind us that jesus of suburbia is a medley he loves to he was mostly into he loves insomniac and um nimrod and then he likes their new actually their new album is really fun i don't know if i mentioned that but green day's newest album i probably said that already it's actually really fun he's been into that one so this one he hadn't

[19:33]listened to all the way through and like you know when you read the show notes about this one some of it said in oakland so i was listening to it last night when you're flying back and you know flying back in oakland listening to this one and like everybody in oakland has a you know billy joe armstrong story and so it's like i'm so excited to talk about this but what but the one thing i do want to share most specifically about jesus of suburbia is that when we do the summer camp carpool uh wallace was carpooling with these two friends of his who

[20:00]were twins and sometimes we had another kid sometimes we wouldn't and so you let the kids play dj and choose the song and so like you do the rotation kids go like okay what's your song oh it's um you know something from minecraft mystery isle or whatever oh it's you know xlf by crazy frog and you have a play and multiple times in the carpool my son would choose jesus of suburbia because he was because he likes it but also because he's third in the rotation out of three and he didn't want anyone else to get another turn after him so he would choose the

[20:30]nine minute song because that would take us all that would take us all the way it's what we call a selfish one aaron no no and his friends got onto it and then he'd have to argue like no no i actually do like the song it is a good song aaron he's definitely not an only child definitely not hey can i tell you somebody doing something i hate to say this about your kid but doing something like that just to i don't even know how to say this to get more air time to have more attention on them that's disgusting who would do such a thing it is so funny though when you see your kids like big time and other

[21:06]kids and you're like oh yeah fuck yeah my kids scamming these kids big time i love that shit i think it's great it was always a fun moment like when they when first kids would first realize like wait what else shows a nine minute song when i asked my older older daughter to like put the soda away and then she tells a younger daughter hey dad said put the soda away and she does it it's a it's it's capitalism you know what i mean my oldest daughter is a middle manager i love that

[21:31]shit why don't you just put the pop away yourself yeah right russell okay sure i got kids they're not gonna put this away in our rule in our house russell we have the rule replenish if you take one out you put two back and that's because when i take one out i never put it back i don't follow my own rules i make my kids do it they're replenishing for me and when it's not replenished i yell at them and act like it's their fault it's like tonight there was a dessert set out a bunch of cookies i ate a ton of them a bunch of little kids were in the cabin before i got back i blamed

[22:02]the little kids when i got back i've got no shame russell you've already said you will you will not replenish toilet paper you've said this actually you know what if i was at the cabin russell i'll do it here but i will never do it in my apartment i don't use as much as the rest of my household toilet paper rolls how's it toilet paper rolling going with rob oh my god let me just tell you this you pulled a pretty you walked a tightrope there you almost teed up bad right with that i was like

[22:30]i don't know what's he what he's doing with us here but we have entered a new phase of parenting my daughter passed her learner's permit test wow she is now you know not quite but very close to driving with me in the car we went to bemidji now of course remind yourselves i still have a minnesota driver's license okay i want to get her driver's license here in minnesota and not new york because i think

[23:00]it's easier so i go up there we have an appointment now just guess oh yeah these government authorities are probably just busy rebuilding a city attacked by a tornado but rob's got to get his daughter a driver's permit i didn't oh that's great hey you know what all these people that don't have roofs or homes anymore let's get rob's daughter this permit everyone get out of get off the line we're getting we have a new people online here okay to get rob's daughter a permit oh where's your permanent address oh it's manhattan

[23:31]oh okay i did not realize that well no they don't ask my permanent address and plus it's on my license it's my parents address okay that's normal for a 45 year old imagine right now you look at your license it's your parents address on your license that's me that's my life that's me here's the deal i did not know but she had a tornado but when i was driving through town i was like god damn this place is fucked up there were signs down all over the place there were trees down all over the place it was crazy she goes in to take her permit test thursday 1 p.m is the it there was no better lesson for her

[24:05]with driving than to meet the absolute fucking losers who are in the dmv at a 1 p.m on a thursday one of the guys i had the guy ahead of her goes okay so i can't get my license back until next july i was like why are you here why are you here my cousin got his license the guy ahead of him was reapplying after dui do you know how much you have to pay to get a license after dui in minnesota seven hundred dollars so when you are getting your license and it's just loser after loser

[24:37]at the dmv in front of you so good my daughter goes in dominates the test misses one question okay how many feet do you have to be before an intersection to pass a car i was like what what does that even fucking mean who's passing a car by the intersection i don't i don't i don't know that i don't know that i could get any questions on a written

[25:00]written driver's test right i i could go like oh for a hundred russell i wouldn't know any of those rules russell you're on a one-way left lane yeah you're turning left onto a one-way so you're taking a left turn there's not a lot of one ways in this one ways to one ways you're taking a left from a one-way to one way oh there's portland portland red light can you take a left each direction from downtown can you take a left on red if you're going from one way to one way i think so yes the answer is yes okay nice job

[25:32]okay aaron uh what does the octagonal red sign mean stop okay it's good down but literally also everybody knows that everybody knows if it's got a white border though you just stop that's like the flag with the fringe that's just not really america i know you know what it definitely is for cyclists though they could blow right through that shit can't they it's a portland stop they can they can they made that a rule what are we talking can i just say this by the way

[26:02]portland stop driving around minnesota with this fucking motorcycle cutting lane shit is the most terrifying thing of all time there are going to be so many fucking morons who get their heads cracked open with this rule these motorcycles are fucking flying through the center lane now it freaks me the fuck out how could you do that shit oh it's so scary almost of a dumb now listen of course the number one thing i teach my daughter about driving is that if you are pulled over just hold up your license and say you will not be answering questions because you are traveling okay you are not you do

[26:31]not recognize the state okay we do that very cool thing you have she's a violation yeah what's your badge number okay i just tell her just don't ever talk to the cops shut up now excuse me ma'am can you put your father's ranch sauce down for the cheese curds while you get your license out put the put the ranch down no no put the ranch down and then she turns to the young man says hey the officer said for me to put dad's ranch down can i tell you where i am by the way but just before i finish the story with my

[27:03]daughter how screwed i am she now says the oldest daughter the youngest yeah the oldest she now says things to my family that i do that she thinks is funny so i made burgers bagels and i'm like the other way by the way bought a bruger's bagel the most pathetic bagel i've ever seen in my life it was the smallest bagel it was awful go out there's a guy parked literally down the line okay so why i'm taking my daughter driver's ed it's time for me to teach her a little lesson

[27:32]about driving i say hey get a pen get a napkin out of grandpa's glove compartment we're gonna write this guy a note about how bad his parking is and we're gonna give it to him so i write on this note hey where did you learn to park moron school because if you went there you got a 4.0 because you're a big moron oh wow it's a great note i put it on we have a good laugh we get out of there she tells my mother and my sister

[28:01]all right and i hear them just going oh i just i wouldn't do that with the way things the world today i'm like what the fuck they're kind of right excuse me if somebody comes out and you're parked on the middle line and somebody's putting a note on your car rob anybody that's legit that's allowed rob can you take your headphones off i don't know okay sure i can't wait for these compliments you're just he's not gonna he's not gonna admit that he's absolutely wrong just a complete waste of time energy and he's just teaching his yeah

[28:34]somebody's gonna get punched or shot or something like that just you know just just let him just let him go just let him keep for putting a napkin under a guy's windshield nobody's coming out to punch me because if he says hey what are you doing i'll say i'll put a note because your parking's bad and they'll say hey there's a car next to me i'll be like okay i'll like i don't know the world i just i gotta ask i gotta ask are you a cop are you a police officer what you have to say yeah okay i'll do drugs to show you guys i'm not a police officer what good in your life is it doing

[29:05]and do you feel really good about leaving a note on a guy who guy who parked what if it was some the thought of a grandpa reading that note is the funniest thing i've ever thought of in my life man thank you god that makes me feel good you you learned to park at moron school and if you went there you got a 4.0 that's funny that's funny even if you bid listen have we all done a shitty job parking before of course we have exactly cars yes we have and guess what every once in a while

[29:35]you always do the note is not saying you're a fucking moron well it is that's not it is it is this they got a scholarship to moron school like for the part of the quota of non-moron to get let in for one scholarship moron school doesn't exist this is coming from the guy whose driver's license still shows he lives at his parents house from his address 28 years ago i i just think it's

[30:00]funny to write a fun note and put it on his car and i think about him looking at that note and be like oh god damn this guy got me good that's i don't think he thinks that at all i know i don't what do you think okay so why explain to me why this is bad if someone did it you're going out you're going out of your way yes wasting your own time this is wasting your time and your energy to just like make fun of somebody because they don't know how to park yeah yes what i mean what they can't park it's funny you gotta say something i think

[30:34]it's funny you've been you you're you're a hundred for a hundred hundred percent parking your whole life no never ever parked no no no i've gotten notes before oh yeah oh i've gotten notes before i've gotten notes and i i mean i i don't know if they're funny i think they're funny paying it forward no it's all i got at once and i just don't i don't think it's a mean note i'm not swearing it's fun i don't think i'm a great parker i don't think i don't go to i don't go to i don't go to therapy i never will go to therapy but this feels like a moment where i just need to you need to

[31:01]pull it back i don't think i've ever had one of these episodes again i have never had a handwritten note on my car before my life not one time really is that a normal thing do you like aaron have you i have never gotten one either i've never gotten one either i can't think of one i've done it this is i mean i've done it multiple times i'm shocked is it more than like have you written a dozen of them this summer how often do you write them i would say like once it's only like once every two years okay yeah but i but like you know it's always fun it's never like you're dumb it's well

[31:32]okay not it was you're dumb kind of literally it was but like that would be a funny it makes you feel good that's good this this makes you feel good no it's like yeah listen it brings you joy if you if you park shitty and you get a note about it i don't think you should be shocked by that the and i would love to tell you it's like a big pickup truck and they park there so nobody could park next to them but it wasn't it was kind of off a little bit i thought it was funny i okay fine like an 88 cutlass some old lady who just getting out this is her one time

[32:05]getting out for the week yeah she should park better she's got a lot of time i just it's to me i don't know okay so now that you three all think it's bad hey can somebody just call just one text or call am i right or wrong is it that bad to leave a note saying you must have learned this in moron school you got a 4.0 at moron school i think that's a funny joke what do you think rolling i think it would be funny here's what i would say what's that if you would have wrote it

[32:31]and walked over there act like you were putting it on there and then walk back and showed your daughter and then you guys drove away hilarious leaving it there maybe ruin someone's day wow if your day this podcast got really serious if you if your day is ruined by finding out that you got a 4.0 at moron school and it makes you think like does that mean i'm a big moron and the answer is yes it's a 4.0 you're valedictorian i would and i was gonna put valedictorian but i didn't know how to spell it so i was like i better lay off that one as a teacher though we gotta talk

[33:02]about this 4.0s don't really mean that much anymore like every kid claims they've got a 4.0 because there's like there's like extra points for like taking hard classes right yeah well it's not 4.0 well listen when i graduated i had weighted grades and i it was just 4.0s but they said my old grade was weighted oh i always heard you did well with those weighted grades with those heavy hangers right hey hey i would love a class with double d's matt rolling going how's it going with

[33:30]you um i don't know my my day was ruined oh no apparently my shirt wasn't tucked in so somebody making fun of how i look and he's like i just think it's funny put a note on his trousers me making myself laugh is not it is when you affect other people rob it is when you affect other people okay okay man you know what maybe i'm wrong i've been wrong i got nothing the only thing the only thing i got here was making fun of people and

[34:01]now i don't feel like making fun of people ever again russell how's it going i better wait um this is kind of a big deal all right i think i had my first like cheating on the upstairs roommate oh oh nice i don't know where the right rob is locked in i don't know what there's no peloton bike involved rob so all right let's hear it so it really wasn't that

[34:35]exotic but i was out the other day and stuart running some errands and stuff and uh told the time normally she doesn't really give a shit when i come back because i'm gonna come back and like interrupt some show that like uh yeah so i was like i'll be back at this time and i didn't really get back at that time because i was doing other things she didn't know about and i didn't want her to know about and those things were i was at a record store and she didn't know it and i came

[35:05]back and i didn't want to tell her i was at a record store because she would have been pissed that's why i was so late did you buy anything yeah i did hey buddy this record's so perverted are you at a record store right now no i'm at a peep show i'm masturbating to women i bet you're at a record store i'm gonna talk about on the podcast rob doesn't have the sound clip and

[35:31]during the summer you know that what's that smell on you is that incense what is that smell it's a patchouli smelling so i did come home though and i knew i was way later than i was supposed to because i'm not at matt's at 15 minute and out he can get in and out of records i can't do it i'm like an hour i would say i don't think i've ever been in the last year if i've been to the record store let's say seven eight times i'm like an hour guy i'm there for an hour wow i'm not there for 10 minutes what are you starting like alphabetically are you doing

[36:04]your list i mean how do you say that for an hour i went to cheapo man that's what that's one off nickel it kind of on each street somewhere over there right right by luna and the bear yes exactly that's where we had uh lunch dinner with you rob when you didn't pick up the check yeah okay well russell what let's get it let's can we get an aisle wideness check on this record store what's the aisle wide they're pretty they're pretty wide it's a it's probably one of the biggest record stores in terms of just square

[36:30]footage i would say it's very very big uh the biggest you know this is crazy because you know the biggest record i can think of it's those two guys on the motorcycle god damn they're huge talk about weighted grades but they this one of the reasons i really like going to this one they've got used stuff new stuff but they do the monday through saturday or monday what came in during the week yeah that's right so like in theory if you go in on like a thursday you might get like the prime stuff that just came in that no one's even had a chance to pick right yeah wow

[37:04]so i go in and and one of the days i forgot what day it was there's about 12 albums by one of our artists and i was like well this is pretty cool i gotta find at least one from this artist the artist that someone had literally sold their whole collection right janet jackson there was about two dozen janet jackson albums wow i picked up control which was on the list that we talked

[37:30]about before yeah so what do you guys think of that janet jackson control and i'll remind you minneapolis minneapolis album right there a lot of those songs are about her being cack all over the streets of minneapolis and can i just say this harassing people on the streets wrong but in a parking lot that's not the streets russell it's totally different that's private it's commercial property trust me so i will say when i got back though i knew i was in the wrong on going to this record store normally when i go i come proudly stomping up the stairs with

[38:01]my records and i show i share everything we got we're going to check out these records i just hid these down in my office down i didn't even bring them upstairs then i just went right into the office russell is it that you went to the record store without her so she would want to be at the record store or is that you were supposed to come home at like eight i think you got home at like nine i was probably close to an hour late and part of it was because i was just kind of running behind but most of it was because i got i went to a record store to kind of just instead of coming home russell can i ask you know just like when i make my ghee butter can

[38:31]i ask a clarifying question here yes what why does she care why is there something going on on that you need to be back for within that hour was she cooking a prime rib dinner what's going on i think it's i think it's a dinner thing so a lot of times i work later i'll come i got stuff going on i'm a busy person so we don't we don't always eat at the same time sometimes it's a little staggered right yeah these this bathroom at the peep show isn't going to hand out perfume on its own you know what i mean like somebody's got to be in there yes i i think it would have probably

[39:05]gone over better if i told her i was at a peep show that i was at a record store i'll be honest so it wasn't the record story it was just that you you could have come home but but you were i think when someone's ready to eat and they're hoping to eat it like let's say six and you show up at seven that doesn't fly with some people i do i know somebody's so much like that it's crazy yeah i get a little i get a little antsy when it's time to eat yes are you the hangry one in your relationship aaron oh 100 yeah really you're the grouchy when

[39:35]you get hangry because it's not me i once was making dinner and i was in the way of my wife so she couldn't use the kitchen and she started crying okay that yeah that was bad that makes you feel bad as a spouse man are you the hangry one no yeah all right so russell we i got in trouble at work once for being hangry but when i'm time for this i'll tell them another time you what i got in trouble at work once for being hangry i can kind of see that oh yeah i can see that

[40:01]happening it's a very pleasant guy a nice guy but there are times when he's got like a switch that flips yeah it's happened so i picked up two other albums um these were once oh i gotta tell you guys my new move at the record store yep chat gpt open it up i take a picture of all the names exactly like of like of the names like of like four different rows of stacks right yeah so there's probably 300 names from like the a's to the c's love it i take the picture i say

[40:35]are there any albums in the top 500 by these artists and it gives me the list immediately i fucking love it russell and and i'm gonna say this we recently had a friend on the on the text chain send us a picture of cassette tapes that they were looking at yeah and i put that picture in a chat gpt and asked at the average price on ebay yeah because i was like what if they have like a 200 cassette here and i'm gonna like drop the news okay did not happen but still it's it's

[41:01]really a powerful thing you're right it was pretty cool i'd probably did it three or four times then like it's it's becoming too part part of the part of it is just flipping through stuff right right right stuff i was gonna but i also said i asked chat gpt because this record store has a huge jazz section very huge matt huge jazz section that's not it's not really how it works russell that bit it's it's not a huge anything it's it's a big jazz section oh that's not i mean i'm a big

[41:32]jazz record guy hello i didn't want to be the one to do it hey bebop baloo bop i love this shit and i'm 300 foot tall and i crave the taste of human flesh also mingus mingus mingus well that was kind of a buzzkill because why would you why wouldn't you pick my record but actually rob that one's not on the list but the one that chat gpt identified that is on the list is mingus ah oh i picked up a mingus

[42:00]which is on the list i believe it's in the three or four hundred so i picked up a jazz album which i have goodbye pork pie hat on it and uh that doesn't have well it does have good that's number two but i will say a lot of very small print on these records we are starting to get matt's talked about his bifocals oh we're in that era of life yes oh my god is that when is that when fogles will just kiss whoever they want but yes and then i picked up what pretty soon married whatever

[42:33]i picked up one more album this is a new album usually i try to just stay to the used stuff but i saw this one on an on an end cap appropriately placed i got de la soul uh is it six feet high and rise three feet high and rise this one right here great cover too all-time great cover on that album for sure i love it popped at me so i had to get it but yeah so i got these records and i brought them and i hid them down in my in my office and then i didn't say anything and eventually i

[43:03]sold the beans on where i was at but i will say i've bought a lot of records recently but i they stay they do not because i have a special case for all the top 500 ones they go in order in a case by themselves they don't get mixed with any of the other ones that i got wow but i will not put a new one into the case until i've listened to that record it stays out of the case wow until i've listened to it last night i cranked out like four in a row okay i did the cars which was

[43:33]fantastic i i redid the uh elvis costello that i told you guys about a few months ago yeah and i did the one that i finished my night off last night was pronounced leonard skinner yeah oh wow you this what this album listen to the songs of this album they've got give me three steps wow freebird yeah tuesday's gone and simple man on one album that's within like a that's like

[44:01]a 38 minute album with those four songs what a banger and we haven't heard it yet on the list haven't heard it that's fucking crazy that's crazy it's crazy and so i've been listening to a lot of albums recently and i started thinking i think i have at least 85 albums on the top 500 lists i counted them the other night at least 85 on the top 500 yep am i a one percent elite record collector at this point if i've got 85 of the top 500 wow

[44:31]for sure i think for sure i think for sure one percent aaron he's got he's in the one percent for like the quality and quantity of quality and quality and quantity i would say yes i was just thinking are you thinking about like people who spend their whole lives just digging in crates and have a million records or whatever but yours is refined anyone who's anyone who's got records in their house yeah yeah i'm not saying i'm not saying i've got more than than diddy or whoever was going through all of those aaron because that's i think where you were

[45:01]going with this but russell you keep breaking up diddy every episode you're gonna edit it out god damn like no i'm not saying i'm not saying i've got more than like a a professional dj or someone i guarantee you do russell because i think most people with records they're getting you know they get it and they kind of they listen to it for a little bit and they fade out but you have been i gotta say people don't remember this but when we started the podcast you didn't know shit about shit when we were talking about music and records and now and now you are like you have

[45:30]so much stuff and you were so into it and you have this passion and it's so great you know i mean i think it's it's it's one of the many good things about this podcast is okay it's not all about maybe finding out that you're a terrible person episode by episode over 400 over 500 the other thing the other thing is getting a good record player i was using that old shitty target player and things would skip i haven't had a skip since i bought my audio technica not one it's a good product man and you're taking good care of the records and the more the more i'm listening to it

[46:00]now i'm like i'm so into it and i start thinking like you know what we're not giving these albums enough credit based on the cover based on what's in the liner notes based on opening it up and looking at the pictures and stuff and now i know i know an album includes like it's just a collection of songs now it's it could be a cassette a cd and everything but albums to me are about the vinyl and so i i i'm not making a promise for our listeners that i'm going to get all these on vinyl listen to but i'm really going to make an effort going forward wow to be listening to these

[46:33]on vinyl i've got we've got honky tonk chateau coming up which i've got i've got some other ones coming up that i've got listening to these on vinyl is a whole different experience than just putting in the earbuds going for a walk and listening to it on spotify russell's putting the music and music podcast and you have tonight's um when did you when did you acquire this one so we got american idiot because if you guys remember we went and saw green day live and when we see bands live we get an album from that band yeah and last year during the

[47:04]summer of rust during my birthday we went and saw green day matt i think i don't know if matt went to this one or not nope the green day performed all of american idiot and all of dookie at target field wow that would be a concert i gotta say total package american idiot is a very solid album it's thick it's two parts but you open it up and there's not as much in there as you would think it's just kind of two weird pictures of the guy's hands or whatever and it's got the names of not a whole lot in there but i will say about this song i'm just going to cover this quick and

[47:33]then you can get into the intro when you have an album that's four sides when every side begins and ends with an absolute killer and you want to keep listening it is totally different than just listening to a spotify list because like when i get to the the back side of number when i start on holiday on the beginning of side two that is an amazing start to side two like normally you think side one will be as good as it gets holiday starts side two it ends with saint

[48:03]jimmy they start side three with give me nova cane and end it with wake me up when september ends like how do you end after wake me up when september ends on side three you have to listen to side four so to me like this experience of vinyl and flipping the record and having one like this where you cannot stop flip you cannot go to you can't skip the next one you have to go it was just an amazing experience i had to share with you guys russell i gotta say that might be the smartest shit you've ever said

[48:32]in your life like the idea of that killer first the killer end of the album and you want to flip it of course that's different with the physical media and that's something that we talked about with bruce springsteen right bruce springsteen was huge on that and you'd love to see you carrying on and you do it's interesting when a band is thinking about the vinyl people out there still i mean that you know this is a later album it is but it is a real throwback rock and roll album i'm sure we'll get into all the sounds that you hear on this one but it's such a bowie influenced album and other classic rock figures that for sure they're they had to have been thinking about

[49:05]it that way so listen let's get into the album perfect segue russell it's time for nobody's love it keep going with your record obsession you know what russell i agree with you it doesn't matter when you get home fuck that all right so here's the deal and then i left her a napkin up up top that said hey moron don't mess with my record stuff it's okay when you put it like that that does sound hurtful this is different russell it's an anonymous

[49:33]stranger they'll think it's fun true you know what i should have put a smiley face at the end dang it god that would have saved it here's the deal basically to understand green day we did last week too we have to do a little bit of a timeline 1994 dookie they blow up huge still their greatest selling album of all time then they start coming out with a couple other albums they've got nimrod but the big thing was 2000 warning kind of a flop and basically after dookie every album the sale started to go down and go down and

[50:04]go down and it's kind of what we talked about last week with like you know he started getting to close that casino circuit and you're like is this worth it and that's literally something that billy joel armstrong asked one of his bandmates is should we still be doing this we have enough money to live for the rest of our lives happily and never make another album are we wasting our time making these albums that no one likes and this is where we start to get the ultimate mystery of this album it's kind of a crazy story they start a record now this is according to the band

[50:33]they start a record called cigarettes and valentines they make it 16 songs the master tapes are stolen oh there is and they say the producer said hey listen the master tapes are stolen we have the backup do you really want to pursue this album is this the best green day could do and they say no they said yeah we want the pretty and pink cocktail don't talk us out of it we have four songs we've been working on a little real we have four songs

[51:05]we have by the way sorry no i went upstairs earlier and the upstairs room it was still up it was the first time she's ever still been up in the intermission when we do a double recording yeah and when i went up there i told her rob said the reason that the bartender did that to me was because this is what he wanted to do with you while i was in the bathroom okay what a exactly did you say like what would he want to do i don't know i just kind of went to beg

[51:33]and that's the best way to make love did she confirm or deny when i make love to my wife she often says oh yeah do it that vague way kind of she's not sure what's going on you know i mean like oh is that is this working is this in it's very vague sorry keep going all right that russell don't ever apologize we've talked about that before they say no we've got four songs we've been working on they're way better we're just gonna do this however when you start going on

[52:02]the internet the most people think that is a lie they think that their next album sucks so bad that warner brothers and the producer did not want it and instead said we want you to ditch that and work on it but what do we do we've told people we're working on this album we'll tell them it was stolen because no police report was ever filed if you look on the reddit there's actually a really interesting thing and also at the same time the green day somehow signed a ban to their label called the network and this network was a mystery man of three people who always wears

[52:32]masks and costumes and guess who their music sounded a lot like green day they were basically having a fake ban that they somehow signed themselves all of a sudden instead of that album which was stolen they released american idiot absolutely fucking gigantic nominated for six grammys uh including album of the year wins best rock album okay becomes absolutely their second best-selling album of course gets the uh tony award-winning musical you know on broadway

[53:03]and at the same time this is coming out right when george w bush is getting elected for a second term so it becomes like the big i mean guys this finally the lead song has the f slur in it talking about like the president and all this stuff like it's the it's in my mind it's almost the last true like very popular protest song they recorded each one of these songs in order and completely each song before they moved on to the next one and basically when they wrote these songs they

[53:31]kind of had a contest of like okay i'm gonna write 30 seconds of a song you're gonna write 30 seconds of the song and basically this whole album is kind of a throwback to what they were doing originally except this time you normally recorded bass first this time they recorded guitars first because i guess that guess who they heard who did that the beatles yeah i mean this is a very beatles-esque um they're like well we should do what the beatles do that's just so crazy to me that they're still like finding i don't know they're finding inspiration i gotta say guys i don't know what else to tell you they wanted to make an epic you know they

[54:00]wanted to make an epic album and they did yeah this album fucking rips and it starts right off the bat with american idiot four grammy awards record of the year best rock performance best rock song best rock video i didn't call this right on the list but is that an all-time opening we've talked about like aaron's talked about like the all-time opening no but like if you put that on in the first five seconds it's amazing matt talks this about like you know exactly what you're getting

[54:31]immediately it's it's just in your face right off the bat and and think about this right green day dookie everybody heard it our age everybody loved it and then all of a sudden you start to get into that time of your life era right where all of a sudden green day was kind of becoming the lame band now to come back with a song that sounds like this right to start their album it totally 100 percent rips next up we've got a song that only a total control freak would try to play in the car because this is a nine minute song

[55:06]jesus of suburbia it's actually multiple songs and i'm just gonna say this and i think this is where matt's gonna come out on this too doing research on this did kind of annoy me because the band says a lot of really pompous shit for example this whole song was billy joel trying to write his own bohemian rhapsody yeah like we don't have to say that it's a it's a long song

[55:33]with four parts is that really your bohemian rhapsody like you have to bring that up that's i don't know that's why i never gave him a chance because i felt like it was a lot of like bluster and hype and it's way more than that it's got a lot of soul and i mean there's a couple different parts let's hop to it uh we have the i don't care part this album is pretty dynamic like when i saw so they did the whole album at that target field concert and it's very

[56:03]dynamic there's parts that they kind of they let you slow down a little bit and then they crank it back up and fantastic album to hear live in person where they do the whole thing and i do have to admit i have always loved green bay's bass sound i think mike dirt plays a fun bass i think it sounds cool dearly beloved is this part and then tales of a broken home probably the funniest song on the album right here this part but fun i mean my sister and i were listening to this the car driving up and we're like oh this

[56:34]sounds like green day which is the same thing to say but also the most correct thing you could possibly say right it sounds like green day uh and then of course it sounds like everybody who ever tried to sound like green day which was a lot of bands built before and after this a hundred percent holiday this song fucking rocks this is a three song first side no this is this is part this is oh this song on side side two wow your nine minute song takes up

[57:05]that whole side one yeah and then it goes right into boulevard yeah yeah those two were those released as a single together holiday and boulevard i think so you know what yeah it's a it's a it leads into it now aaron i also want to say something serious this song is about how they don't sell three cookies in a batch that's their song they did called quick trip that's a totally different

[57:33]not holiday when you find yourself on a holiday and you go in for snacks you're like oh fuck that's right i'm at a holiday this place sucks man what do we think about a holiday holidays number two to quick trip i mean sa now super america which is way down no way yeah anything else so sa is a phone book to my chest so i don't get stabbed here holiday is not bad quick trip is number one they're number one but holiday you know there's no quick trips inside like the

[58:02]494 loop there's very few they're all outskirts kind of so you got to go to holiday i know aaron's gonna say some weird shit like oh have you guys tried come and go don't give me that iowa shit aaron we're not dealing with that shit no i was thinking actually now come and go is no longer owned by uh and i it's no longer owned in iowa wow my brother's my brother just sent me a message about this he said he is not supporting come and go anymore he'd rather support quick trip and quick star i believe and casey's also my yeah also my senior at this weekend's aau basketball

[58:34]tournament what the fuck here it still blows my mind yeah aaron's sister just texted me that she has just set up the the rematch of michael beasley versus lance stevenson one-on-one on pay-per-view she's got her ear to the ground hey can i just say this if you at all enjoyed russell's last joke can you text in and just let us know two and eight it's not two eight three eight oh two two seven seven let me know i know that it was somebody somebody is like god damn that was a

[59:03]good au joke they love that shit my other joke i was i was listening to this album and i had a few drinks with me the other night when i was listening and i thought holiday is like the all-time side two starter like if you're going one two punch as that's your that's your side two starter and i was thinking it would be like you know francisco liriano johan whoever was one two in that one year or for some people it's like randy johnson and aaron's favorite kurt schilling uh the bloody sock for sure was a real sock real blood that sock

[59:37]i gave him some money to make me some video games i wonder what ever happened with that i haven't really looked into it all right boulevard of broken dreams hey if you like that joke text in 802-277-BECK either one of those jokes i want to hear that you liked it oh my god i'm getting messages right now this song also fucking rocks now man your relationship with green day is strained right we can acknowledge that

[60:09]am i wrong are you asking for my opinion no i do you think these songs rock man yes or no as hard as you guys this is like commercialized fucking bullshit so are you more of a dookie guy oh my god like the fact that this is even close to dookie on the list is just absolutely stupid

[60:37]not close it's ahead of it it's ahead of it that's what i mean like the fact that you know dookie comes up like 150 later yeah it's just absolutely stupid that you know i think i think dookie was like 20 times platinum or this one's six times platinum you know i think i think dookie was like 20 times platinum or this one's six times platinum you know and i'm trying to find this there's this whole thing about albums sold and there's like total certified copies and then there's claimed sales so i'm looking at what they've

[61:01]got here for dookie compared to um give me a second give me a second let it go 190 and 180 you know they got claimed sales of 23 million for green day but they've got verified of 11.6 million for american uh for for this one american idiot yeah dookie has a little 190 here has verified sales of 24.6 million and they've got claimed sales of 20 so

[61:30]i don't know what this claimed versus verified is this is worldwide kind of a thing this is it i mean so reed what is what is your note say there some of the album songs so boulevard broken were written when the band's frontman billy joe armstrong lived alone in new york city for a few weeks in 2003 renting a small loft in the east village of manhattan with a goal of coming up with new songs so that he comes up with boulevard of brokenness broken dreams because he lived by himself for three weeks in new york like that's great rolling stone likes it because there's a new york connection yeah you know i mean like i don't know like it's a great album right it's probably a better uh broadway play

[62:06]than it is an album and that's why it's all popular and all that but it's just commercialized they've just they they went so far and i don't blame them you know like everybody does it and everybody's trying to make a buck and whatever but like you know red hot chili peppers oh i sold these guys you know things like that the fact dookie essentially brought every single punk album to the mainstream like blink 182 and all these different people you know we could come up

[62:33]with a million of them well i don't think most people consider those punk but anyway yeah i mean they're more pop well you know what i mean yeah current pop punk or whatever you want to call it you know it's not like it was my introduction to punk like green day was like i think i think even by the time punk even by the time dookie came out probably people in the punk community were like these guys were sellouts well because i like i was like i like punk and then like i think us we listened to like the sex pistols and we're like oh i get what punk is it's not what i thought yeah i was trying i was trying

[63:01]to lose the black flag not for me yeah i was out there lighting fireworks and i was like why is everybody selling to punk why is everybody hearing i swear to christ did you just talk over my punk joke about like lighting fireworks with my punk yeah you guys know what i'm talking about i was talking with your joke it was like we were doing it's like when ghostface sings over the dramatic and just plays the whole thing yeah i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like it was the whole track aaron our jokes are our jokes are holding hands and walking into the ocean with rocks in their pocket i love it i have dookie in my collection i did not listen to it the

[63:30]other night and i'm interested to listen to him and compare them and do the side by side and all the stuff there is part of me that is with matt like that is such an epic album it's got the great cover there's so many songs like there's it does feel a little bit like if you're gonna take a few of them you kind of got to take the first one that makes the band right i thought all along that i was going to think that about dookie but i i listening to this changes my mind but i'm happy to hear other but it legitimately i'll complete and it's not all about sales right things like

[64:01]that but it legitimately like you know completely outsold this album and this one probably got sold because it did turn into a cool like broadway play right and like all of the other things around it that that came with it and you know frankly i you know he talked about the first song right but the american american the and i'm i'm on the left right but you start you come out with this song right away and you say i don't want to be an american like it's just it turned me off right away like what

[64:31]what are we you know what are we doing i don't know kind of i have asked before man that we need to keep celebrities accountable for selling out and you're doing it i love it i think it's great you want to get on these guys for selling out and i and i don't i guess i don't care that they sell out right but i don't have to like it kind of a thing right i just don't have to buy the album sense hey listen man i know it doesn't all have to do with sales but you know who was all about the sales captain james cook i mean he was trying to go around the world for god's sakes you know

[65:02]can i ask you this can i real quick russell i was going to say vasca digama would that have been a funnier bit i think the funnier bit would be to say that rob's sister really liked dookie better because of the song pulling teeth oh no we had a discussion about talking about dentist stuff on the podcast today i thought when you were doing it i thought you were doing it i thought you were doing it all about sales it was the monologue from glengarry glenn ross you're going to always be closing oh that can you imagine if vasca digama was like i might i love him he's confused i'm i'm

[65:34]exploring vasca digama okay i think vasca digama is funnier than you guys do i have no idea what you're talking i think we are the waiting it's we are as we're the waiting that's a great point hmm that's a great point and now you saw what it was like to live this song are we the waiting yes we were there we're all waiting oh sorry i'm i'm hip deep in water here and i misread the title we are the waiting don't get me started about when duane wade was

[66:05]talking about exiting my apartment that was we are the waiting i get how i i get how matt would vibe with this when i i get your point but i'm just i'm a sucker for this like anthemic stuff so no no no no we're not doing this now we're not doing this where matt doesn't like it and all of a sudden we're all apologizing man i absolutely i'm not we can we can disagree about albums we knew that from the first well from that practice episode we did that episode three that i

[66:32]might release if russell it doesn't behave himself i still i still think i have that episode somewhere uh next up saint jimmy wow i would be interested to go back and look because i did hear a lot of weak links on this album when i listened to it the other night and i had he drinks me so that could be a part of it but when i'm looking at the list of the track listing on dookie i wonder if there's some weak links in there in my the way i listen to

[67:04]music no let's let's keep our ear out let's see if this is uh he fucking loves boulevards he's mentioning boulevards all over aaron what exactly is a boulevard how's that different than a street or a cause it's just a street but it's a name i mean i guess you know i think of the boulevard as a curb it's like the right on the it's the it's like the side

[67:30]in between the sidewalk and the street is like the boulevard so if you're driving down the boulevard so you can't drive down the boulevard a boulevard is the name of a street but to me the boulevard is the curb the boulevard is the curb i don't think that's how he means it though but yeah okay i get what you're saying but i don't think that's what billy joe's talking about is it well why didn't you ask him you had dinner by him once i did i should have asked him what he thinks of boulevard you should have hey how about a song

[68:02]about some cul-de-sacs you'd be like no dipshit that's a french drain how about some songs about some causeways how about a song about hey and here's what i aaron can i tell you what i don't get why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways no give me novocaine that's not what i was gonna say aaron we've been doing this too long aaron yeah this is so fun

[68:30]this is so bowie i don't say this well dookie doesn't start whatever you know i don't know where it would be but it doesn't start till side two or sites it doesn't start there are songs on that whale and i said that but i am kind of with you that i think that's the more epic album in my mind that might be our age too yeah a hundred percent well absolutely right but but isn't that the sign of a band too that like how many people do you think were involved in this album versus do like a hundred times more

[69:01]a thousand times more like it's it's just the name we got another we got another are they even using novocaine i'll tell you what guys can i just say this you're going raw as something no what russell you know you know who i am you've hung out with me i am taking every chance i can get if some professional is like hey we're gonna fuck you up i'm like yeah when i went in for that

[69:30]thing where they sent that thing up through my heart they were looking at it they gave me some shit where i was like fuck me i wish i was doing this every single day when i can get professionally high by somebody whose job is to get me professionally high i love that shit russell and guess what do you think that when i got novocaine when i was a kid i was like oh my god when i was younger did i squeeze my lip a lot and then i got big and swollen the next day you know i did because i loved touching that i loved it all right that last part got weird she's a rebel i think these are stretches where if you don't know the story behind the show you kind of like

[70:10]what's going on here you might miss you might miss what's going on i would not track this song there's there hasn't been a song yet that i would have tracked yeah i know i wouldn't know i but i like i had to read lyrics along with a lot of these songs sometimes i couldn't understand the words and i was like it's actually quite poetic this song is about the his girlfriend

[70:33]he dated at unlv she's a rebel all right hey rob was it grandmama oh i was trying to i was like i didn't read anything about that i just say this okay i'm gonna edit this out but i gotta tell you guys because it's too fucking funny to me just think about jerry tarquinia biting on that towel no no no you know what i mean like he just

[71:00]has that face rob you have to bleep all that out i'll just give you the wording now i'll save you the time okay i'm gonna ask you right now because i've had some recent issues where maybe texts haven't been as clear as i thought do we bleep it out or are you saying i have to bleep it out or edit it out and it i think it's edit but i know you won't do it that's so different than the bleep okay we're gonna see what rob in the clear light of day what if you what if you let us laugh at it but you do like the and you cut it out and then seem like i had a funny joke and then we laugh

[71:34]at all right and listen if any of the guys on the text chain want that bit i just did i'm gonna cut it out and save it for you just like i do with some of the real hot ones okay and then you're actually gonna be shocked with what i was talking about it's actually very strange extraordinary girl i'll never be able to look at stacy augman the same way again that's really gonna get people's interest boy you're forcing my hand here extraordinary girl

[72:03]i i i have always loved green day sound i have always i mean it's just fun right and then i think it's fun to i think what makes this really fun russell is when you realize this is a three-person band you know what i mean like i think when you realize this is a power trio it is fun now is there only three tracks on this album of course not the guy brought 75 fucking snares okay he has a spoiled era of this but still it's fun all right next up uh the ted kaczynski special

[72:36]we got letter bombs i was trying to figure this out was this about the anthrax thing or is it i just get as i get older you know what i mean like just living out in a cabin in the woods and hating society i'm kind of like i get it you know what i mean it makes more sense and that don't and don't compare my note i left to a letter bomb it's not the same russell at all okay one was funny all right i was uh i was i was thinking uh we got a text the other

[73:06]day from manny from south st paul one of our good friends and he said he liked when we talked about like how the music connects and how it's stuff influences what everything so i thought we could do a list of the greatest bands that influenced green day and specifically this album american idiot i i have to say i also thought this was interesting when i read it that was better very cool first great list and and is actually it's a musician on the list the musician is bob

[73:35]dylan we'll go with the song like a rolling stone now i'm only going to say this once on your list but i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list because i'm going to say this once on your list russell yeah just once as a musician can you say you were inspired by bob dylan isn't that kind of like just like a given like isn't it just like you just everyone yeah it's just like i i mean is it corny to say that like or are they just doing so much press they got to say something

[74:02]i don't know well maybe they had to say something they said bob dylan was fearless about writing what he saw in the world what he wanted to do what he wanted to call out that was wrong and to be fearless okay guess what now i've switched 180 degrees i've totally withered in my position i totally agree and this brings me to one of my points with this album why are there not more protest albums right now of all the times for us to be getting and i'm just gonna say this but rob you don't even know enough current music to even know if there were some like no no it's true i

[74:35]would i'm not listening to i'm not listening to slug russell you know what i mean was that this episode i guess i don't know who the big bands are right now but but like we would know shouldn't we have more protest music right now like shouldn't there be shit every i mean every time it comes out every time you cut off half of your audience and then people just get turned off look at the dick i mean yeah i think of the dixie chicks as like the a number one uh example of this yeah but you know and so i think it's just you know

[75:02]depending on who you are right if you're an artist who wants to make a living out of it or if you are i don't know yeah but green day was big right they're doing all this shit i i don't they're still selling i don't get it this was a big deal at the time and i think there's a you have to people think about it now and you either get political or you can't i mean the current administration is going after anybody who says anything remotely uh that just yeah it goes against them in any sort of way

[75:36]so like you just wait four years or what do you do yeah well i i mean well that is that part of it too right is that all these guys are hired by cbs records now you know what i mean like there are no afraid to speak out yeah and green day yeah green day did this when they had a big following and they had the freedom to do what they wanted but someone who's coming up isn't listen as those risks as somebody who often says things that gets rid of half of our audience to a

[76:04]point where we're just cutting it into atoms now i totally get it russell next up on the list is the who album is tommy from 1969 the song is pinball wizard man who is this that's the guitar sound no it's not yes similar isn't it aaron yeah we just heard that i mean this this is the acoustic sounding guitar i thought that was one bowie but

[76:32]but again billy joe said we wanted to do something like what the who did a full rock story a full rock opera that was the who album is tommy from 1969 the song is pinball wizard man who is this that's the blueprint for what we wanted to create matt guess who this is who no it's them no them it's been a while you should just okay i don't mean to keep i don't mean to keep picking on this

[77:02]right but give it to a man what what is what did the who say when they created their rock album do they say i wanted we just we want to create a rock album or you know rock anthem or rock opera because we talked about rock operas before these are both on the list so i think i think the rock opera i don't know remember enough but i think the rock opera might be different than like a political like a protest right but i mean like i keep hearing like oh i wanted to create my uh you know bohemian rhapsody oh we wanted to create our rock things like that first rock opera

[77:32]just feels but i mean tommy it was tommy right like that we talked about that was that was like but man you're are you are you you thinking about like the sincerity of what they're doing you're saying that they just were trying to write just for the sake of it or right yeah i think it's just to me it feels that way like you know they're not coming up with any i know that they're political right like i know and they've got a voice and they used it which i applaud a thousand times for everything i think

[78:04]they continue to do that right i don't know why this one's hit so much and then their last four haven't yeah from a political standpoint because i think it's just falling on deaf ears at this point because oh this one's such a good album but you know i don't know it just it feels like when if we were out there trying to say like we want to create uh the smart list pot you know we're just trying to be like the smart list guys like it just doesn't hit yeah you don't think it's creative enough

[78:31]right original enough okay that's not originally well this is going to continue to emphasize that because the next song on the list is from pink floyd 1979 the wall this is another brick in the wall too is this not a rock opera that's crazy they said i always loved how pink floyd made a personal story into a political statement the wall showed me how to make a concept album and the emotional and political so they're they're doing it again here right matt they're kind of referencing we want to kind of

[79:00]and again i think the wall just be clear oh sorry man the wall is 10 years after tommy that's crazy to me and i will just i will fully admit i went to a the show where they had weezer and they had fallout boy and they closed except billy every single song all he kept saying was come on clap you know he was doing all this stuff just to get the crowd to like sing along and all this stuff

[79:31]like the music didn't get people standing up and yes it did you know what i mean but like it was just like a i don't know what to say about it but i think it's just like a it was just weird it was like a used car salesman tactics to get everybody going i don't know i was like i was like rosie buying that car i ate all that slop next on the list aaron's talked about this uh artist the whole time aaron's correct it's david bowie the rise and fall of ziggy stardust the spiders from mars this star man wow yeah i mean

[80:03]it almost sounds like they copied some of these melodies uh i think it's super weird yeah they very much did there's a lot of information on that of how much they're david bowie and they're trying to sound like his guitarist on a lot of this stuff and i think i i always have drawn a this this album and green day i can kind of see that of like the it's almost how it's mixed to me somehow good they said we wanted to create characters and personas like bowie did

[80:32]with ziggy stardust gave us a way to tell stories in a theatrical way there you go yeah all right i'll take it right last last album slash song on the list we've talked about this band once or twice i know other local i think aaron and matt i believe they're local i don't aaron and matt know these guys way more than i do it the band is hoosker do the album is zener arcade from 1984 the song is whatever i loved when my united states of whatever

[81:00]different song oh and the bass sound very similar you know replacements guy loves hoosker do that i would have bet one million dollars yeah i would have bet a bazillion dollars that's the most obvious thing you've ever said in your entire life for sure how's he doing by the way i'm worried about him haven't heard about him but this guy he's

[81:31]summer man he's chilling since about album 146 we haven't heard from him i don't think he's still listening if aaron don't fucking say that on the show so i had some hoosker do quotes but i got them chopped off my microsoft word document so i don't remember what they said about each other either way hoosker do inspired green day but one other person that appreciates green day is our guy beck wow beck has complimented green day in their longevity and songwriting he said green day changed the game for punk rock in a way that

[82:03]made it accessible but still real billy joe's voice and energy are unmistakable so beck when it comes to appreciating green day they're about the same time both i bet dookie and odelay gotta be the same year right or damn near it yeah pretty close when it comes to appreciating green day who did it better beck did it better dookie is out on 1994 odelay is out 1996 russell two years

[82:30]before 1996 whatever what's the one before odelay with loser came out right about the same time as dookie mellow gold uh mellow gold year 1996 you are correct once again beck seems to be to be honest i'm starting to get suspicious of how much beck is involved with everything like it seems like he might he might be better he he might be running things russell to me that was a top five list to me i love that list russell that was easily a top five list oh yeah that one goes out to manny from south st paul

[83:06]wow woodbury wherever he's living these days i love edutainment but what's he doing with those people what is he doing with those people living the high life and he's saint paul wake all the cool kids now aaron can i ask you did you when you went and met our friend in california just a throwback to a couple episodes ago we need a little follow-up did you mention coconut oil about this did you mention coconut oil and were they like what because it

[83:31]happened in the past but then he heard about in the future and it was funny i think about it i did not mention the coconut oil i should have but i didn't bring it up how much time did you spend talking about the podcast aaron uh almost none what the shit what the fuck it didn't come up much we are counting in fact i don't think we told goody about it either yeah yeah piece of shit there we never heard that it all turned out you showed up at the winery you met our buddy uh joe it all turned out man everything yeah well everything was smooth

[84:04]man we got up there joe and bridget were there waiting for us we got a little behind the scenes tour got to do some barrel tasting yeah we felt like i felt amazing what was going on with the pictures from that i feel like there were pictures that matt and i didn't get we were fucked i didn't get what was going on like there'd be all these texts saying you look great i'm like who's this who looks great what are we talking about pictures i never saw the pictures something's going on with the text oh really get left out yeah no yeah so i yeah no aaron met joe and i was there for like

[84:32]90 minutes they were beautiful now aaron i'll edit this out if you want me to but how happy was the wife to see you on a scale from a one to ten hey i don't think she was unhappy i asked you guys what you thought and yeah oh you have to i think you had a nice time i bet she was we lied to you to put you in an awkward situation aaron so wake me up when september ends she goes i'm not fucking drinking anymore lord i'm not sitting with aaron anymore god damn right when you think people

[85:04]weren't doing sideways quotes anymore russell comes in and nails it i always love sideways because it was a it was a movie basically where two guys were like hey i'm getting married i gotta go fuck somebody else let's head out everything okay that is a fantastic before we went to nappa and saw aaron and nappa we watched that movie we it's a fantastic movie i met aaron nappa because i needed a new alternator that's a good joke russell don't make

[85:33]that noise when i say jokes we've talked i gave you credit i said it was a good joke it was me who made the noise all right just like a dance where rob didn't get asked by a future vegas showgirl by the way did you get that text i sent you where her showgirlness was in my local newspaper we did that was crazy why would that be the newspaper that's crazy homecoming the question is why would you still have access to that clip what let's not let's not get into who's looking at

[86:01]what okay we already went over that is homecoming the worst of all the dances in high school like was homecoming the winter for the winter form what are the five put up in order five to one well to me there's only five dances yeah five dances goddamn russell just said five no i to me there well there's only three there's homecoming there's a one where the woman asks you and then there's sadie hawkins yeah did you ever yeah we

[86:30]you said we had a winter one too like in february or something like that can i say this as somebody who has chaperoned dances recently at big high schools yeah they're fucking crazy now they have number one they have a merch booth russell what you what merch booth you can go and buy the like the school this might just be where you teach high school no no no no you're thinking no you could go and buy posters a light up wand a light up cowboy hat you could buy all this stuff to wear sold by the dj so they had like a merch booth to make video screens

[87:07]you are not just listening to an usher song you're watching the video giant video screens multiple video screens and russell the last of all platforms there are multiple platforms in the dance now so if you want to get up and dance higher than everybody else you can when i went to this school dance as a chaperone it blew my fucking mind also blowing my mind the amount of grinding to the song footloose

[87:31]is crazy i've never seen anything like it it's such a hard song to grind to what percentage of the songs when you chaperone a school dance you know like you know all of them robert are they old songs for like 80s 90s 60s or is it stuff that's new that you don't even know this was 12 years ago i knew actually oh hold on hold on hold on let's stop at no point no no did you chaperone a dance in new york city or war oh no because there's a big difference here rochester rochester

[88:01]minnesota no that's kind of like world it's cut in the middle excuse me that is not like war road we do not have a giant indian head as a logo which means i can't wear a lot of the free swag i got but but i think my guess is the songs that are being played at the rochester dance are probably there's probably a 90 overlap with whatever's played at the war road school dance no because i also nitty gritty dirt bag no no no no no they were doing cool stuff it was little john it was the whole thing russell it was a cool rochester's a big i almost said a big cool town but

[88:35]even i couldn't say that i couldn't tell a lie what's her name but does does your school have school dances that you teach at now russell do any new york schools have them they they do and i have worked them and it's a fucking nightmare it's the worst because they bring multiple schools together because i work in these small private schools so they'll bring multiple schools together and when you get kids from different schools together it's a fucking it's the worst because

[89:03]they just are well but you know what did help me i think it's the worst because they just are help russell school dances more than anything else fortnight because of explain it because the dances man i'll tell you because of fortnight every boy dances the boys are dancing more than the girls now russell there's this dance in fortnight like the up is down cats and dogs living together boys are dancing more at dances it's fucking unbelievable man do your kids know multiple fortnight dances i don't know if they know fortnight i don't know maybe okay ask him

[89:33]ask him let's well i was gonna say ask him and get back to me but that sounds weird let's let's just be cool about this what's the story on what's her name is an album closer is this related to the musical or is this it's very confusing to me that homecoming is not the last track on the album it's i guess it's not the last i don't know what you mean but they picked it i don't know why what's your name like we don't know is there is there does this relate to the musical somehow is this wrapping up some storyline come out 10 years afterwards okay i didn't know that i didn't know this was

[90:00]actually like sometimes i get you get a streaming thing that has a new song tacked on or something so i don't know the the this this has the weird closer to me the track listing has it listed as the 13th album you know what aaron i think that's why it's the closer because i don't want to listen anymore i'm done with it after that one wow they wow they they this was like a they were sitting hooks the whole way on me just just trolling like robbing a fishing boat hooking me hooking me over and over and again and now i hit my hour and 10 minutes or whatever of green day and they left me

[90:32]with that i'm like give me give me lettuce i love this you've blown up you've blown up the whole system we've been talking about good closing songs should closing songs be bad i think it makes you not want to listen god that's so fucking brilliant russell and you know what else is brilliant this podcast because now just remember with that when you leave us with a shit joke tonight i had a segue i had a segue in this segment it worked perfectly and you stopped me

[91:02]to say that and first of all let me just tell you right now russell i got two jokes one of them i've been getting a little bolder with you recently i better stop it or i might be out of here hey russell to me your italics bend over a little bit hey to me italics look like they're having sex more than any other font what you know what i mean you ever send an email by the way just underline try it sometimes big time what about like the old curly ones from like the old english oh book book time or whatever that fucking font is don't get me started

[91:32]okay it's like i went to the beach and there's so many sans serifs oh god oh i should have said that this is the rating system we rank this album uh american idiot at 248 is this perfect at 248 does it belong here it's ahead of dukey huh that's crazy or is it that would be if it's perfect right here that would be rolling well toned if you think this album is below where

[92:02]in that case it would be a higher number that's actually a good thing to be below something and it's a good thing i can't think of any joke that's not inappropriate so i'm just gonna skip it guess what i'm maturing i'm learning okay i'm learning that i might be a bad person on this podcast i'm gonna try to get better that would be a rolling bone it should have been higher on this list which is a lower number below okay or is this a terrible album and nobody likes it okay do you think maybe

[92:32]a rolling groan we do not think this is good what do you think matt big mystery rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan what are you gonna say uh dukey 375 in the list american idiot 248 on the list uh sales according to the ria is uh for american idiot we've got six time platinum at six million two hundred thousand in the united states dukey two times diamond at

[93:02]20 million in the united states i the song this album has some bangers it probably is a little too um vanilla for me it should be on the list but rolling groan should not be right here should be at 348 okay switch you know what we're gonna we're gonna go to who i think is on the other side of the aisle and then we're gonna see what happens with this tiebreaker and maybe i'll agree with one of you russell what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan i'm gonna flip it a little bit with matt i viewed it a little differently i was gonna say that

[93:32]aaron was the i think aaron's the no i'm gonna say something when i wasn't really when i listened to the album and maybe it's part of me doing the vinyl thing i thought the vinyl just crushed on this every time i wanted to flip i kept going to me there was very few weak songs on this there was nothing where i wanted to turn it off this if this is an hour and i don't know how much time it is because 57 minutes 57 minutes but i've been listening to these other albums recently they're like 37 those are those are prime sweet nice dukey 39 minutes and i was thinking

[94:02]about this before we even talked about it tonight i was like the only question i have is should dukey be ahead of this because to me dukey is the more epic album but i think part of that in my mind is because that's what we grew up with like if you asked me name a green day album i would say dukey immediately i would not say this one but i love this album and i will say this maybe it's because it's polished maybe it's because it's got kind of that commercial i don't know if you call them commercial hits but like it feels polished for like just a regular dipshit listener like me

[94:32]if someone told me this was like in their top 10 albums and loved it i wouldn't even argue with them i think it's fantastic i don't know that it's rolling grown it needs to be higher on the list but it has to be in here and i love listening to it and i can see this we've talked about like not comparing this at all but there are certain albums in my collection that i go to more often than others stevie wonder um what's the orange what's number four on the list is the oh that

[95:00]one with the cat and the naked woman songs of the key of life neil young harvest elton john i'm not saying it's in this level at all i'm not putting it up and up with those at all i'm not but i'm putting it up there and i could see myself playing this i could see this being one of the 15 most played albums that i listened to yeah in the course of my album ownership over like the next 10 years love it so i'm gonna say rolling well toned i love the album and i could see why someone would like it but i also could see matt's perspective because in my mind dukey is the epic album of the two

[95:32]russell i'm not going to suggest this because i'm a good friend because i think you would actually do it yeah but what if you kept track of every album you listen to for the rest of your life and then that would be some interesting statistics do not do that that is a huge waste of your time i think you're going to do it what i had to talk myself out of the other night is is buying every album before i listen to it on on the thing oh in vinyl and it may happen because i want it's so much fun it's so much more fun to listen to the album than to listen on spotify and my

[96:00]earbuds it just is just remember what are you going to do in five years or three years when they reset the list again that's the only reason i haven't there was a guy remember he was selling his entire list all 500 for 18 000 and then a month later it's the 2013 version or whatever and he's stuck that he's stuck with replica trout mask and there's nothing he's got captain b fart i did do my chat gpt in the c section and it did pull back captain b fart and said he was on the 2012 list or whatever so

[96:32]he told me that but hey can i just say man that's what one of the reasons i don't want to do that but i will okay one more thing before i throw it to aaron as the tiebreaker because i talked about like am i a one percent album owner i started thinking am am i a better album owner than rob is a weightlifter that's what i was thinking the other first of all oh yeah i'm a power lifter okay so thanks for paying attention lifter well then i'll find i won't compare i won't i'll call you a weightlifter not a power lifter because i guess i would have to ask how many pan-american

[97:02]records you own because i have one i should have three yes now you didn't even get any stories power lifting which is a disappointment i'm just gonna say let's split the difference russell i i never will talk about vacations you know that that's a policy i have on the show team usa like out like an olympic who cares jumpsuit i wanted to tell a story about my daughter driving which i now realize i never actually got to the full story we somehow got

[97:32]this podcast is like a terrible train we're constantly getting off track now aaron split the difference for us what do you think excuse me excuse me rolling well tone rolling bone or rolling groan for those first-time listeners okay we've tuned in and said oh this is a normal podcast i will continue to listen to i just suffered i just suffered a massive head injury this is exactly what i want hey and all our head

[98:02]injury listeners out there call in and tell me if you like that is it to me i had been um it's interesting you guys talked about the next list because i do think this this album is headed for top 100 if not higher status when we do these lists it feels like as it ages people are going to keep regarding it in a different a different way i was on the no nothing is good until dookie train as well i had never actually listened to this album in its entirety because i knew the hits so well i didn't know the whole thing so i've just been listening the last two days but

[98:32]to me i was really blown away by the musicality and what i feel is a certain level of heart and i think the the writing the lyrical writing the lyrics are really interesting i like it's well written so for me i i i loved it and i was kind of into and it's like i said my son's into it now so it's like i'm certainly in a position of bias but for me the the bombast and all the high production values kind of make it for me so i'm gonna give it a i'm gonna give it a rolling

[99:02]bone i think it should have been higher in the list wow can i just say this before i give my joke answer that i've somehow made myself at a corner to do i have to say this is why i love this podcast okay is that we it's been a while to be honest where we've hit an album where we've had such different opinions yet we still get to talk about it we still get something out of it and russell had a list which i always love now i'm just gonna say this this is a long one so don't interrupt me because it's the old joke can you before this okay

[99:32]we won't interrupt you just do like a throat clear there you go this album gets a rolling hold on hold on were we right or were we wrong you know what you're right man good save we're right yes all right no no no guess what decision but we got it right guess what editing that shit out tough shit you don't get to control unfortunately i'm editing all of it out where matt asked me the whole thing i'm not you're never gonna i say one more thing this is gonna be
