Finally, we do see some women on here.
[4:00]Spirit of the Week, Bushmills, 26-year-old Crystal. I got to admit, I'm kind of into this shit still. I think I'm still in the back. Are you a Bushmill guy? Is that you? Are you the Bushmill? Not me. I'm a red breast guy. Looks like there's an article on watches. I could see Matt being a watch guy. Yep. Oh, but you're not, are you, man? We've talked about being a watch guy before. It's too hard. I've been pretty good with, pretty steady with the Apple Watch. It's actually, I've had it for a couple of years, three years maybe. A lot of watch articles on this webpage. That's the only watch I've ever had. I've destroyed multiple Apple Watches by running it into things. You know what I mean? Like I'll just pass by a concrete barrier and hit it on my watch. My watch will just explode. A concrete barrier. That's what you're calling it these days, Rob. A concrete, there's something concrete about it. You think, wait a minute, Russell. You think that I'm jacking off so hard that it breaks my watch? You leave your watch on? Is that what you're thinking? First of all, I wear my watch in my left hand. So if I even tried to jack off that hard, I would be seriously injured. Okay? I'd be like what you'd read about an injury like in Maxim.
[5:00]It would really be like a Maxim article. Let me write down my notes real quick. Talk to Aaron about Maxim Magazine. See what he thought about it. All opinions are owned unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. We are all the way up to album 251. And from 1978, we have a band that is short for De-Evolution. Just like Rob is short for my real name. Throb. Throbbing. Throb. My parents called me Throb. Oh, wait a minute. Do you think Throb is short for throbbing? Is my full name Throbbing? Throbbing. Oh, I almost said my last name there. Oof, that was close. Okay? Would not want somebody to look me up on Facebook. Throbbing. See, this is why we need Aaron really bad. Aaron would think that Rob being short for Throb is gold. You'll get to tell him it in 20 minutes when he comes on. What parts are best without Aaron? What should we just skip to without Aaron? What do you think? Should we just skip to the voicemail?
[6:00]It's really never good. I always listen. When I do listen, my listening has fallen off from where it was years ago. But when I do listen, the parts with no Aaron are really pretty terrible. Oh, I'm sorry. We have Devo. With question, are we not men? We are Devo. One of the few albums with a picture of Chi-Chi Rodriguez on the cover of it. I can't think of too many others. I think live. I thought it was Tom Brady when I looked at it. It's a Chi-Chi Rodriguez facsimile, kind of. But you don't think it looks like Tom Brady at all? Oh, of course. Well, new Tom Brady? Skeletor Tom Brady? Skeletor Tom Brady. The Tom Brady where you feel kind of good looking at him because you're like, oh, I thought this guy was good at everything. He's not. He's not good at picking when to stop having plastic surgery. Like that? He is like the, I was going to say Trent Dilfer, but that's not the worst quarterback. Who's a bad quarterback? Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl, for Christ's sake. Who's like a bad quarterback? Ryan Leaf. Ryan what? I mean, he's not bad. He's just like a bust. A big bust.
[7:00]A big bust. Big bust. He is the Jamarcus Russell. This would be a great adult film, like a genre of adult films, Rob. The big bust where all the names are like parodies of famous big bust quarterbacks. Akili Smith. Big bust. Christiana Ponder. Big bust. You can't just go back to Jamarcus Russell. I can't think of any more. Spurge. Oh, Spurgeon Wynn. I mean, that one is right there. That's the best porn name slash quarterback bust I've ever had, except he wasn't really a bust. Jay. McCarthy, big bust. Oh, no. That got too real. BJ McCarthy is what his name would be in this parody film that we're making. Okay. BJ McCarthy, big bust.
[8:00]Big bust. Russell, that's going to have like 10 sequels. You can see watching Big Bus 8 and be like, oh, do I need to see the first seven? You better copyright that before this episode comes out. Oh, my God. Okay, I got to mail that to myself. Heather Shuler, big bust. You know if I mailed this shit to myself, it's just a sign that said, Big J. McCarthy, Big Bus 8. You know my wife would open it and be like, what the fuck? Throw it away. I'd be like, no. That's my million dollar idea. Now Maxim Magazine has a series called Big Bust. Starring... What time we at, Russell? Don't say stuff like that. Starring Jimmy Claus. Something Jimmy Claus. Arch Labanning, Big Bust. Oh, no. That's terrible. Let's turn on the radio, Russell. This is a... What other song would you do? What other song would you do to this? Whip it. What's up, everybody? Welcome to K-Rob. K-R-O-B. You know, people love the voicemails.
[9:00]People love the rolling going. People even love the part at the end where Russ and I think of jokes and try to make Matt and Aaron laugh. There's only one part they don't like. Oh, yeah. You should hit that skip when we get to the music. It's true. When Rob has album facts. The show starts to suck sack. Once we get fast rolling going. You should skip it. Yes. When we start talking about the songs. You can skip it. It makes the podcast way too long. You must skip it. Just skip it. Don't even wait. Push that button. It's okay. 30 seconds forward. Just skip ahead. Only Aaron likes this. He thinks it's great. But skip it. I know I would. When we talk about the album. You should skip it. By then our energy is down. You should skip it. We never say anything profound.
[10:00]You must skip it. I say skip it. It isn't good. I say skip it. I know I wish I could. All right. When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time. I didn't hear that song in this. On this album. Did I listen to the wrong album? I was shocked. When I looked at this album. If it was not on there. I had a whole parody song written before I listened to the album. What was her name? Tamara Berenefich. Big bust. And then at the end of the movie. They would have. Instead of the Hall of Fame bronze bust. It would be like the bronze bust. It's like DeMarcus Russell's head. But he's got huge cans. Yes. You know what I mean? Like, yes. Russell. I think I know what my chat GPT is going to be full of. Which I got to be careful of, by the way. Because I also open up my chat GPT at school.
[11:00]So the kids are like, you had a bunch of Pyrex explode. I was like, yeah, don't look at that. That's my personal stuff in that chat GPT. You know what I mean? Like, why so sad? Viagra work. How long? Question mark. I've got two guys here. Who would love to watch a movie. Called Jocko Homo. Starring Jocko Homo. And Jocko Willenick, where he says, in order to have and do the things you want, you must find a way within yourself to act on the required tasks. That might mean going to bed on time, waking up on time, or completing a task you know you must get done. Now, let's get down to the manhole and start fucking and sucking. Whoa. I mean, that would be Jocko Homo. That's what I was just saying there. I've got Russ in Minneapolis. Russell, how are you doing? Oh, shrivel up, Robbie. It's rule number one, Robbie, that you can't get those airport pants pissed. Good thinking you don't have airport issues with that booty. Pooty poo-poo. Oh, my God. That's the way you edit Top 500 album, with the lyrics, pooty poo-poo. Somebody out there, Russell, is clipping that soundbite,
[12:00]Putting it in their wireless headphones, and listening to it while their partner makes love to them. That's going to be their thing, is hearing you say pooty poo-poo so many times. Is it Andrea Ware? Big bus. Andrea Ware-y, no panties. No, no. Big bus to 10. That's too far. What? That was too far. I bet somebody said that to him, though. And I've got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Good, Rob. Are we not men? No, we are Devo. No, we are. Listen, let's not mess around anymore. Let's get right into it. Let's get right onto the voicemail. The freak's on the phone. How are we doing on voicemails? We'll leave you alone. Oof. We got none since the last episode, so I'm a little worried. We're at zero voicemails? Zero. But you know what? I got a lot backed up, Russell. I'm kind of backed up. Let's get some of this gunk out. Okay. So, HBO is currently running a series of hard knocks. Okay, this one was sent in a while ago.
[13:00]I don't know. I wonder if people don't call in. We've talked about you not playing people's voicemails, Rob. Well, okay, so I'll just say this. Sometimes I don't play voicemails, and then you harass me to play some guy's five voicemails that I had to chop up. Well, you could have played all five of those, and one had been done with it. You refused. You cannot play a five-minute voicemail, Russell. I can't. Even I know that's too long. And you know me. I love, just like watching Jamarcus Russell throw a ball, I love long stuff on this show. All right? Think of one. Dang it. I'll get it by the end, Russell. Tammy Couch, big bust. Cleveland. Tammy Backroom Casting Couch. Sexy Rexy Grossman. Yes. Big bust. Guys, Tammy Backroom Casting Couch. And if you think that's funny, I know where you've been, okay? Probably by those ugly grannies. All right. Let's get back to the voicemail. Let's get back to the voicemail caller. Sorry that if you're trying to clip this for you. Jamis Trunkett Miller, big bust. And the Buffalo Bills. And I know that they've been pretty good recently in their football season, so I've been watching
[14:00]It. And then I decided to continue on this journey of learning about Buffalo Bills, and I watched the 30 for 30, the four falls of Buffalo. You should look up who the all-time best running back is. You're going to find a lot of stuff about the Bills all-time best running back. I can guarantee you. You're going to find some documentaries. They're going to shock you. And it got me thinking, because you all talked about how there would be nothing more meaningful to Minnesota sports fans than the Vikings winning a Super Bowl. True. The Vikings have gone to four Super Bowls. True. And have lost all of them. Yeah. Buffalo Bills have lost four Super Bowls. True. Mind you, those are four. Four in a row. And so my question to all of you, and you can think objectively, is what team would a Super Bowl win mean more to, including the community, the fan base?
[15:00]Good question. Would it mean more to the Buffalo Bills and their fan base, or would a Super Bowl win mean more to the Minnesota Vikings and their fan base? First of all, we cannot think objectively about this. It's impossible. Okay? It's a sickness that we've caught. Okay? Cheering for the Vikings is like a genetic disease. My grandfather passed it down to my dad, who passed it down to me, and now I'm stuck with this. But I don't know. Would you even be happy if they won a Super Bowl? Like, would that fill a void in your life? It's like most things, right? Like, you just wish for it so much, and then all of a sudden you get it, and then you're like, oh, okay. Well, life goes on kind of a thing. Yeah. That's where I feel like we're now. I would think that it would mean much more to Buffalo, because people who live in Buffalo, are living in Buffalo, and they need something to get them through the doldrums of the winter. We at least have the beautiful state of Minnesota to live in. They're living up in Buffalo. I mean, can you imagine you go right from the Buffalo Bills season to, like, the Sabres
[16:00]Season? Right. You're like, oh, wow. I'm going to watch old videos of Dominic Hasek again. Pat LaFontaine. Wow. We're coming in hot. Al McGinnis. I'm bringing it. Alexander McGinley, 89. And I also think this. I know the Vikings lost so many Super Bowls, but it was so hard. So long ago. We weren't even alive. None of us were alive. Like, it doesn't even comprehend to me that they would have been in a Super Bowl. Like, I've never seen that. So, I don't know. I think I kind of agree with you, Matt. I think it would mean more to the Bills. First of all, it's more likely with the Bills. I'm just going to go on a limb and say that right now. Yeah. I kind of think so, too. I think we have. They do have the Sabres. I technically do not consider the NHL like a major sporting league, but I feel like the Bills are a more integral part of that city and the community. Then the Vikings might be here. And I know the Vikings fans want it. They want it really bad. I would say this, too. You guys might not agree. Maybe it's because we live in a world where Packer fans don't like the Vikings, vice
[17:00]Versa, or whatever. But I think the Bills are a more beloved franchise than the Vikings nationwide. I think people would get more enjoyment out of the Bills winning, like, outside of the state than they would the Vikings winning. Rolling, going, Matt. Rolling, going. How's it going with you? Russell, rolling, going. How's it going with you? Rolling, going. So we've talked before about how the upstairs roommate has been getting really into NBA basketball over the last year. She's really into, like, all the podcasts. Like, she's listening to, like, the Bill Simmons, Zach Lowe podcasts, the local Tim Rolls podcast, like, the moment they're up. So I am now being quizzed on whether I've listened to these podcasts that I've listened to for 10, 15 years. But the other thing that the upstairs. Roommate has recently got into is now way more into than I am fantasy football. The upstairs roommate now is constantly checking your team. We also have a shared team in a league with my nephew where we did like a family.
[18:00]Rob, I know you do it like a family type league, Matt. You might do it with your boys or something, too. But the upstairs roommate constantly wants to know how our shared team is doing, not knowing. I don't really pay attention to any of these teams anymore. I just show up to be part of the league. Right. Last week was week two of the season, and I started Brock Purdy in my game. So I am already. You're out. I am already not putting starters in, not knowing guys are out, no idea what's going on. I'm lucky if I check it on Thursday. In our St. Olaf League, you kicked the shit out of me, though. Well, yeah. I mean, I am still one of the greatest drafters of all time because I only draft people who I remember from years prior. That never goes wrong. Matt, are you still following this or are you just along for the ride? I mean, I follow. I follow but. It's 15 minutes once a week or less than that, even just to set the line up. I'm certainly not making a trade. I'll tell you that right now. Like the idea of a trade happening, because every time I do, I get fucked over. So I'm not doing it anymore.
[19:00]I've got, I'll just tell you, because by the time this comes out, we're not, this will all be under the bridge or whatever. But I am really short in wide receivers in our St. Olaf Fantasy League. Oh, no. And so, and Pete from St. Paul. He's down. McCarthy is a quarterback. He needs a quarterback. I've got Jordan Love on my bench. This is so gross. I cannot. Skip it, goodbye. I cannot do this. Let me give a stop. I've got Jordan Love on my bench. I'm proposing him. Give him Jordan Love and Travis Hunter for Devante Adams and Tyree Kill. I'm just going to say this. If Pete is listening to this show, I'll eat this microphone. I'll eat the microphone and the computer. I'll eat the whole fucking thing. Plus the older. There is a 0% chance. Yeah, everything. It's all down the hatch. Russell USB, this wonderful USB mini cord that it comes with. It definitely doesn't just break all the time. Okay. Good job on that. Sure. Microphones. It's all going down the hatch.
[20:00]There's a 0% chance. But Matt, I have to say every male that saw what you're doing there groaned because listening to about somebody else's fantasy football team is the worst. It's fucking torture. I was going to say the only problem is like listening to like a podcast is that I'm in like too many leagues now. So I could be super excited for Josh Allen in one league, but then I'm getting my ass kicked by Josh Allen in the other league. So it doesn't even really matter. It's like how do you get excited for. Maybe that's what I should do. Should I just join every league I'm in together into a super league? You know what I mean? And then make it worth like I have to pay $500 to get into it. Well, have I ever told you guys about my fantasy league idea? It's called the billionaires league. Yes. Okay. Russell. I like this. And so this would be a combination of fantasy football, fantasy. Yeah. Basketball, fantasy, baseball, and I guess fantasy hockey, but where you could intertrade players, Rob. And so it's like a, it's an ongoing season of leagues that just intertwined the billionaires league.
[21:00]So you're telling me I could have traded Pat Dominic Hashek for Thomas. Yes. That would be a great league. Russell. I like that where it's just all year long. Yeah. Oh, that's so good. So I'm just, I'm literally trading like a key Malajuan for Jeremy Roenick. See, Russell, you can see where my sport references kind of die off. It's right around NHL 95. It is right around the Aqib Malajuan days. That's about it. I don't even know. I don't even know Hakeem. I'm more stuck on Hakeem. You know what I mean? That's a deep cut. We're really fucked. We need really need like we, this might be the first scrapped episode. Like this episode is going down the wrong tube. Where is Aaron? That's my question. What could he possibly be doing right now? We are melting down, Russell. We, we did say like we were going to be like about 11 o'clock central. So that's 45 minutes ago from now. So he is legitimately, he's not just the 15 minutes late.
[22:00]This is wildly. Do we want to scrap it? We could, we can just have another go at this. When Eric comes back on, maybe I'll do a different rolling going. Cause we can't do fantasy football talk. That's just, it's, it's God awful. Russell. This is going to be. This is going to be a lost tape. Yes. This is going to be a lost tape. This is going to be the one. Hey, we have so many episodes to get through. We just, we're going to have a couple of bad ones every once in a while. You know what we should do right now? Fuck Aaron. Let's just promise that right now we're going to do a kick-ass episode from here on out. Listen, everybody out there so far, this episode has sucked donkey nuts. Okay. Except for the big bus thing. I like that. And I liked him casting couch. I don't know if everybody heard that, but I think it was a good one. Can you guys recall before we go? Let me go again. All right. Okay. Russell and I promised to edit out the fantasy football. All stuff. Russell rolling, going for the first time. How's it going with you? Anything when I was fancy football earlier tonight, the upstairs room and I were trying to find something to watch on TV. We, yes, we watched some old series that were pretty good, but we ended up landing on the
[23:00]Charlie Sheen documentary. Have you guys watched this? Because it is gold. This, I have just, I have been skipping over it and skipping over it because I do not want to watch two hours or whatever it is of Charlie Sheen. So I agree. Matt, like I know there's this world of him in like the last 15 years where he was like doing the winning thing and he turned into like this character, I guess. I don't even know how you would describe it. He also said he had tiger blood, Russell. Okay. That's an all time quote. Just say that you yourself have tiger blood. But the first like two hours, I think it's four hours. There's two hour episodes. Four hours. Is that why you couldn't, is that why you couldn't get on until 11 o'clock? I can't get on until after 11 today. There is about an hour and 15 minutes of him just telling like drug stories that are hilarious. The guy is legit funny as shit. Oh yeah. He was telling this story about how he was so high he couldn't keep his eyes open and during this scene in the movie. And so he went into the bathroom, took an ice cube and put it up his butt.
[24:00]And that was the only thing that could keep him awake. Like that is funny as hell. Now, what shape ice cube do you think that was? Because right away I pictured the out of my fridge ice cube. No, it's going to be like the pellets from a pizza. You can't be pellets. Nobody's impressed by you putting pellet up, pellet ice up your anus. There's no way. I'm picturing what I'm picturing Russell? Like the brown one with the holes in the middle. You know, I feel like that would be the perfect, because the thing about ice, man, and I know you're wanting to talk about this. You keep raising your hand saying you want to get on this conversation. The thing about ice is that you wouldn't need a flared. You wouldn't need a flared base. You know what I mean? You don't have to worry about it. What does that mean? Well, Russell. A flared base? Yeah. If you're going to stick something up your butt, they say you should have a flared base. Oh, it doesn't get stuck up there. But with ice. It doesn't matter. It melts. It's going away. It doesn't matter. Shove everything you want up there if it's made of ice. Word for Charlie Sheen. You might wake up in the morning and be like, what the hell? There's a big wet spot in here. You guys have to check this out.
[25:00]They used to do this show called like something. I don't know if it's like the network stars or whatever. It was some sort of thing where actors would play athletes in sports. There's a scene and they've got the whole thing in video. No. Martin Sheen and Charlie Sheen playing Michael Jordan, like second year. Michael Jordan and basketball. They beat his ass. They win. It is. It is just. It is comedy gold to watch. Like Martin Sheen is a legit basketball player. No. Are you serious? Yeah. And he's probably like five, six, 140 pounds. I can tell you what else he went pro at? What's that? Oh, eating that. No, he ate so much. No. He killed him almost. Holy cow. He was like, first, I dominate Michael Jordan. Don't do it like this. And then he's like, oh, my throat. What are you talking about? Well, he has throat cancer. I mean, he said that. Is that Michael Douglas? Wait a minute. Aaron, do you have any thoughts on fantasy? It's almost like I wanted to talk about that no matter what the facts were.
[26:00]So Charlie Sheen really beat Michael Jordan in basketball. Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen two on one. First, they do a free throw contest. Yes. And this is like 25 years. This is before Charlie Sheen's a big actor. And this is on like CBS. This is Michael Jordan. Jordan's like second year in the league. They show Charlie Sheen. He hits eight free throws in a row. They beat Michael Jordan in a free throw contest. Then they play him in horse and they lose. But then they play him two on one and they beat him 10 to five. You'd have to be. I feel like you and I could. Well, now that I say that, Russell, I don't know. Could we beat Michael Jordan two on one? No. Maybe not. When was the last time you made eight free throws in a row? When's the last time you shot eight free throws? Yeah. Well what I would do, Russell? I would show up with the Michael Jordan through the loom mustache. That would throw him off his game like crazy. If I showed up with that, he's like, oh, you're trying to be like Mike. Yeah. The worst possible. Remember that ad came out and we saw that mustache.
[27:00]We were all like, oh, a little too short. We'll nick the corners a little too far. Nobody through the loom was like, Michael, we know what you did. You shaved a little here. Oh, too much. Better go back over here. Oh, too much. Now you got a short mustache. Can't be doing a short mustache. You can't do a short mustache anymore. It's never going to be done again. You can't do it. Certainly not to sell our underwear. Okay. We certainly can't do that. Maybe we'll give you a couple of weeks. Grow the mustache. The famous Michael Jordan mustache that apparently he has to have because he'd love to have it. Nobody ever thought Michael Jordan had a mustache. In fact, Michael Jordan famously not hairy. Like if you saw Michael Jordan's balls. Frequently, right? No. It's just he went too short the one time. No, you're thinking of Fred McGriff. Here's the thing. No, I was thinking of Michael Douglas. Thank God Aaron's back. What are you talking about? Aaron, nothing. We were fine. You don't even want to know what we've been doing for the last 40 minutes. Aaron, do not talk about fantasy football. Here's the thing. Don't worry.
[28:00]There's one thing I'm not going to be talking about. If Michael Jordan's balls are really hairy, I would eat this microphone. There's no way. He just is a smooth guy. He does not belong with mustaches. So sorry, Russell. Keep going about trash. Anyway, so that's part of the Charlie Sheen documentary. It's him and his dad playing Michael Jordan like Battle of the Network stars. But they're like Charlie Sheen is telling these stories about his drug uses, all this other stuff, these interventions, and they are funny as shit. Like if you sit down and watch the Charlie Sheen documentary, at least the first hour and a half, and you tell me you don't think it's funny. You know what? I call you a loser and a non-funny person. It is funny as shit. I would highly recommend it. Okay, Russell. I got to watch it. I got to see it. Now you got me. I'm not saying like he's like, oh. This guy should you should follow his ways and treat him like an icon. But it is hilarious. Like he tells this, like he's got the famous scene at the end of Ferris Bueller, Rob's most hated movie. But he tells the story about how he like overslept for it.
[29:00]And everything about his stories are just spot on. Fantastic. So I would highly recommend that at least the first hour and 15 minutes of the Charlie Sheen documentary, because it will make you laugh. And it's just a lighthearted part of your day. Russell, I love drug stories, but I also love sex stories. Am I going to get any sex stories in this documentary? Yes. They just did like a whole 20 minutes on Heidi Fleiss or whatever the Hollywood madam is from. Oh, the Hollywood madam. Yes. Don't you think I don't know who Heidi Fleiss is off the top of my head? She lives in like some sort of like California world with a bunch of like exotic birds and vultures behind her, Rob. Oh, gross. Can you imagine you're trying to have sex with Heidi Fleiss and there's a bunch of birds squawking around? Two vultures. Yeah. Two vultures. You're at the zoo. No, you can't be having vultures. You cannot be having vultures in your house. If you died and got eaten by vultures, your pet vultures, nobody's surprised by that. That everybody saw that coming. That's a terrible idea. You did have ferrets at one point. Ferret.
[30:00]Why? And not for long. And we don't talk about that because it's a really embarrassing time in my life. I would never buy a pet without people's permission. Condors in your house. Wait, were we talking about condors? No. Wait. Have you ever seen a condor? Fucking terrifying. Massive bird. I was not prepared for how big a condor is. How big are they? Their wingspan is like nine feet. They look like dinosaurs. That reminds me of one of my favorite basketball players, Hakeem Olajuwon. Now, listen, Aaron, you're going to get that when you listen back, but I highly advise you actually don't listen back to the beginning of this episode because you will realize what an important part of this podcast you are. And to fill you in, Aaron, the boy said I got to tell you one thing from what we talked about earlier. Okay. The only thing I'm going to say is, okay? We're doing a bit of quarterbacks that were big bus and then turning them into porn stars for a porn series we're making called Big Bus 3 starring Tim Casting Couch. Oh, okay. Fuck, he didn't laugh at Tim Casting Couch either.
[31:00]I feel like that's a funny shit. Or like Davina Klingler. Big bus. Hey, Aaron, Jamarcus Russell. Big bus. That's the biggest bus, right? Oh, my God. That's so funny. I thought the biggest bus? Ryan Lee? I've got Aaron out in California. I've got Aaron. And Aaron was telling me earlier. Brian Bustworth. Big bust. Bustworth is a great porn star, Dave. That's perfect. I've got Aaron out in California. Now, Aaron told me earlier that if you nut after two minutes of doggy style, it's really 14 minutes. What are you doing? In human minutes. Wow. Aaron, how are you doing? Rob, you got your left hand, you got your right hand, you got both hands. Let's talk about Devo. Wow. Russell's was a little bit more erratic. I was going with your fantasy football team. Oh, my God. I'm not. I don't do it. I did get involved. We almost scrapped. I swear to Christ, Aaron. We almost scrapped the podcast. The horse was down. The gun was loaded.
[32:00]It was pointed at the head. We had our first official redo of a, we said we should scrap this episode and just bail. That's how bad it was. Aaron, lift us up. Lift us up. I got an uplifting story for you guys. I do have an uplifting story for you guys. I've got a kid. Wallace got me good on Wednesday. We had. We had soccer practice on Wednesday and I take four kids to and from soccer practice. So that's a long day. I pick them up at the aftercare, take them over to practice. When they get in the van, do you count them off and go one, two, three, four. And I shouldn't do that. Shouldn't I? It's a, I'll send you the video. Like you would not believe like eight year old boys getting out of a car. Like it, it's like, this is like high level physics to them. Like getting in and out of the car is serious. But we did get in there, getting back, had practice. I do some assistant coaching, which now is sort of just like, Oh, stand over there and do the drill. Cause I like they've exceeded my soccer knowledge, but I was super hot here on Wednesday. So Aaron's just doing, Hey, we're just doing bicycle kicks today.
[33:00]Kids. Let's just flip around. I like that idea. Concussions are not real. Head the ball. When I throw it and it hard as you can. Hard as you can. Okay. Now this is a wife and this is a mistress. I'm getting you guys ready. Ready to play in Europe. This is very clever. Very nice. Thank you. Very nice. So practice went fine. Except while this has made this habit now of, I bring my own water because I'm also coaching and then I bring a lot of other water. He's got his water. I've got an extra bottle of water. I have my bottle of water. So he dumped my own water bottle out two times in two weeks in a row. Like one week, it just like fell on the ground. The next week he dumped it on his head. It was hot on Wednesday. So then we were, we got home. We took the last kid home. We only had like a one minute drive and he said, dad, I. I know what song we can play. Cause like they, the kids want to play DJ and like get to request songs in the van. And, so he says, dad, I know what song we can play. It's a short one. He says, we can play watermelon meow, which is a song that sucks that I didn't want to hear. And usually I will acquiesce to his requests, but I said what?
[34:00]No, I'm not going to play watermelon. Not because you dumped my water bottle out for the second week in a row. And I'm not, I'm not going to play the song that you're asking me to play. That's what it said. Aaron played the Edmund. Fitzgerald, which goes up for like 18 minutes. Hello? Yeah, here it is. Is anyone there? What is this shit? No, yeah, this is the song that kids request frequently. So I said, no, I'm not going to play it and it's because you dumped my water bottle out Too tense. You know what this kid said to me? What's that? He said, okay, dad. Fuck you old man. Can you play? Can you play unconditional love by Tupac? He fucking got me. He got you. He got you with my own shit. He got you. He got you with my own shit. He's listening to the podcast. That's fucked up because that kid is listening to the podcast. He should not be doing that because that's my song. He's not even going to get our Tim casting couch reference. It's way too young. You know what I mean? That's my song that I play when the kids are arguing over what to play. And then I say, Nope, it's my turn. I'm playing unconditional love by Tupac. And he got me. He got me. Good. It's amazing. Isn't it?
[35:00]When kids that aren't your own are in the car, they're the nicest kids in the world. They're just the greatest kids ever. They're so nice. My kids' friends are the most polite kids. They're so great. And then my kids are just monsters. Compared to them, they're just absolute monsters. And then I talked to my friends' parents. They're the friends' parents. And they're like, my kid's a monster. You know, your kids are so great. And I was like, what? What is going on? You're not hanging out with eight-year-old boys. These are all monsters. I almost asked someone at work how I was rolling going the other day. It was doing just like in my one-on-one just to like, how was your weekend? How are you? And I almost said, how's everyone going with you? And I would have had to explain. Everybody think of Max Magazine. It still exists. We cannot go back to Max Magazine. It still exists. Absolutely. I mean, do I need to say more? Or am I the last rolling going? No, you got to pivot to Matt or Rob. Oh, okay. How's it going? How's rolling going with Matt? Good. Except we have a little new, I don't know what you would call it, but at work. But I think it's a little bit different. I think it's a little bit different.
[36:00]You would call it, but at work, but, there's a new fashion style for all of a sudden you Guys know about my, my disdain for the dude shoes that people wear. They're now, they Now make work, workwear work line of shoes. And now people are wearing dude shoes to work And this is acceptable to people. And I don't know what to do with that. Hey dude work shoes. That might be the most depressing sentence I've ever read out Right. Hey, dude's work shoes. Right. So the, so am I like slip on moccasin look To look at things? Yeah, for work. And so it's the hey dude and they're actually, They actually don't look that bad. Like these look like actual work Shoes. But if you go to like the hey dude site, cause I went to it to just look at It. They're actually getting a little bit stylish and they're actually okay. Did
[37:00]You buy a pair? Fuck no, but like, hey dude might actually be an okay brand. I don't Know. I just, I can't get into them though. I can't get them as heavy either be any Of you guys ventured into the hey dude world yet. No, I, this is beyond anything I would even understand. It never occurred to me that I would man, but you kind of had me at shoes you don't Have to tie what I mean? As soon as I see these ties, if I don't Have to tie these shoes, these might be my new shoes. I hate tying my shoes. I hate Bending over in the subway station to tie my shoes. I just cannot stand it. I double Knot it, triple knot it. I think my disdain for them is becoming big time the minority and they're Not just the, they kind of used to just have like those gray ones that you got Right there down, or the second column, like that's what it Used to be. And now I think there's 374 different models that I can see for men.
[38:00]That is so gross. Oh my God. There's lots of fun colors. Jesus. This is just going to kill me. Man, I'm going to start getting these. My dad was into the hey dude shoes and he gave me a hard time for picking on The hey dude shoes on the podcast. That's why I might have been a voicemail that he left me. And he was like, Hey, great. I like hey dude shoes. Can you imagine if you get haunted by your dad and he's like, I heard you Talk about the shoes again. I know right? This is what we're going to talk about. I have so many questions. But like those, the, see the neon yellow ones there, and then you go over One and then you go over two, like they're almost getting to be Acceptable for work. Boy, this is so tempting for me to buy these shoes. This is Matt. This is Matt kind of audibly talking himself into buying these. I will never ever. Where on the shoe does it say hey dude? Like, where's the hey dude? Like if you click on one of them, there's like on the tag on the back. So maybe I'm trying to become a better person, but I absolutely judge this Person who's in my office who wears these to work every day.
[39:00]He's got a couple pair of Rob. You might have to try them out. He might just have to try one pair. It's so tempting. Are you guys, I saw a tic-tac the other day where a kid made fun of Another kid for double knotting his shoes. Are you guys double knotters? I double knot every, I never do my house without double knotting. Why would you make fun of somebody for double knotting? Why are you looking at someone's laces, right? You have to double knot. Modern-day shoe laces are not as good as the old ones. Again, I sound like an old man, but it's true. They're coming untied all the time. They're waxed, they're slippery. Anything resealable, fuck it, that's not going to work. Nothing's as good as it used to be. Wait, what's your beef with resealable shit? I got to hear this. You were trying to, how much beef jerky you got in your house Right now where the seal is broken? I did not. That is a great question here. That's going to get our first left field take of the week. How much beef jerky you got in your house? We're going to go around the corner. I'm going to say right now, I think I have three meat sticks In my pantry. Russell, how much beef jerky you got in your house? Seven to eight pounds, probably.
[40:00]Seven to eight pounds? Russell, that's too much beef jerky. It's right next to the Fairlight Phil. This is the Fairlight Milky. Russell just means he had a bunch of steaks In the fridge that he never saw, And they got all small. He's a beef jerky now. Turns out it's beef jerky. I don't have steaks, I just have round meat things. I don't know, and there's like 10 pounds of it in there. I don't know. Russell, opening the fridge, yeah. Kind of accurate. Matt, let's play, how much beef jerky You got in your house right now? I have about a half a bag from, I stopped at McDonald's up in Clearlake. What? This story is crazy too. Yep. Okay, so you left the bag in your car And now it's beef jerky? A little bit north of Clearwater in 94, A little bit northwest. This isn't going to go well together at all. A becker. Oh, that is a 24. A little bit south of St. Cloud, Before you get to St. Cloud. They have a barf that is next to the woods called Bex. Bex? Oh, so I got about a half a bag of beef jerky. I probably got three or four
[41:00]Jalapeno cheddar sticks for me. Matt's so polite. He would never take the last nugget of beef jerky. Aaron, why were you asking us About beef jerky again? By the way, beef jerky, Big bus 13 subtitle. Because the bags don't be sealed. Because if you buy something that has a resealable bag And the little zipper thing either breaks off Or doesn't work anymore And then you got to put it in another bag Because your resealable bag doesn't work anymore. Something happened during COVID, man. I don't know if it was a supply chain or what. I went to a concert and he was like, I see a kiss by Rose. And I was like, this is a bad seal. This is, he's off tonight. Hey, I think Heidi Klum is not feeling well. Is there a lapse at that shit? I know, that's what he likes around me, though. If he tries hard enough, I'll laugh at this. Oh, shit. Everybody still talks about seal, right? All right, Roland, go on Rob.
[42:00]How's it going with you? So when I walk the dog, I take him outside. The dogs play together in a field. You do like the Eiffel Tower. Can you go around the world? Can you do a cradle? I like it. What else can you do besides walking the dog? I thought for sure you're talking about sex moves to start with. I was like, what is he talking about? You do the oil driller. A lot of yoyo moves do sound like sex moves. Let's look up top yoyo moves right now And just see if they could also be sex moves. You know what guys, we got our second game of the day. Inner ring grind, definitely a sex move. Could be a sex move for sure. Walk the dog. I'm picturing that in my head right now. Stop talking to me about my head blocker. We know you're using an head blocker. I do. A man on the flying trepies. Could be a sex move. Under mount. Come on, this is not real. Chopsticks.
[43:00]Double or nothing, that's Rob's shoe style. Double the knot or no knots, right? Rob, were you ever a yoyo guy? Like, did you ever have a phase in middle school Where you're not supposed to be the yoyo guy? They might be giants. He was definitely a yoyo guy. Yes I was a yoyo guy. You know I tried to get way into the yoyo And could not do it not even close. I couldn't, I wanted to be a yoyo guy so bad. Do you ever see that guy who is now on what they see In the shadows where he would go on the news stations In Iowa and say he was a yoyo champion And he couldn't do it at all. He just starts spinning around and then he goes, My marriage is falling apart. It's a great clip, look it up. Now, kind of spoiled it for you. But real quick, so I go down and of course I cannot have a moment. I cannot have a moment where I have silence. So I wear my Apple Air headphones down But then when I get down there I put them on a ledge By where the dogs play. This day, Tuesday this week, There are a bunch of teenagers
[44:00]And I should have known right away this was trouble. Those are real pieces of shit these teenagers. They make you feel bad about being old all the time. No, you can't look in my bag at the movie theater. Actually dig deep in the bag. Now waffle batter in there. Now here's the deal. I get done walking. The kids are all taking a picture before school In this field. Then they are running to the tram. They have to make it. I play with the dog for another 15 minutes. I turn around, I notice my headphones are gone. My $600 headphones are fucking gone. On a Tuesday before work, I have to be at work in 40 minutes. You spent $600 on your headphones? Yeah, Aaron. I hate listening to my family. Okay, I've tried to say it all out. I'm making the subtext text now. They're the worst to talk to. I would buy, I would pay twice as much For half the headphone. I love them. Now here's the thing though. They are paying the askers. When you take them off you have to put them down.
[45:00]I get on the find my iPhone. I can see the headphones are currently on the tram Across Roosevelt Island going into Manhattan. So I go in. I give the dog to my kid. I say deal with this thing. I take off. I get on the tram. I'm now following my headphones over into Manhattan. I notice the headphones are a block and a half away, Stopped on the corner. He starts running. I jog a block and a half. I find a diner. There was a group of teens inside this diner. Yes. This is not real. Okay. I walk in and the hostess says, Oh, are you with them? And I said, Yes, I am. I said, Hey, whoever, Hey, whoever took my headphones. Can I'm back? And the kid goes, Oh, oh yeah. Here. And he hands them to me. He goes, we thought they were my friends. I thought I was picking up my friends headphones. I go, Okay, sure. Whatever. And I put them on my head. His fucking music is playing in the headphones.
[46:00]I know he's a fucking liar. Yeah. I'm trying to steal my headphones. Steal your headphones. He tried to repair them. He did steal them. You just got them back. Yeah. It's, I felt so much. Listen, when I came home to my big titty wife that night, I felt just like dog, the bounty hunter. I was so much like dog, the bounty hunter. It was crazy. It was crazy. Of course she has passed. Dogs, big titty wife has passed. Let's do that with respect. Okay. We're going to guess what Russell third game today. We're going to look up dog, the bounty hunter's wife. What is he talking about? Russell, this has gone from one of the worst episodes ever To one of the best. This is whiplash. We do it. It's all because they're in shows. Okay. All because they're in shows. Okay. Now, we of course are talking about Beth Chapman. Oh my God. What is this? Okay. Look at this, Russell. I mean, it's the first picture on Google. Here she is right here. I'll zoom in. She's got the same hair as dog. She and dog have the same hair. Look at that. Dog had a type. I'm just going to say that right now. So these kids, Rob, when you get these back,
[47:00]When you walk out, They're going to be like, oh, that guy is insane. Insane. Now, if you recall, This is the second time I've done something like this. Okay. I did go to that person's house in Rochester When they took my phone from Goodwill. And I did knock on the door With my two children in front of me In case they came out blasting with a shotgun. Yeah. Okay. I didn't want the kids to grow with up with other dad. Okay. So I did the only right thing to do And put them in front of me. Okay. Okay. And my wife later said, That was a really dumb idea. And I was like, well, I got this phone back, Which now of course is worth about $2. But in this case, I got my headphones back. I felt victorious. But you tracked them across like a ferry, Like across a ferry, Like an old different part of the city. Yep. So imagine that you took somebody's stuff. Well, this is kind of insane. I'm impressed you did it, But it's kind of crazy. Well, if anything else would have happened, What would I have done? If they would have said, no, I don't have them. I'd be like, oh, then you get a rage. Then like, Then you're on.
[48:00]Okay. So I get a rage. I get in rage and they run away. What do I do then? Like am I like, Oh, Am I going to terminate it? You grab the slowest one. You get the, And then what? And then what? I shake them down. No, You take their back. You throw their back in the river or something. You do something. So then what the kid should have done is just shut them Off. Right. So then a hundred percent. Cause I, when I went in, I pretended like I was looking at the menu and I was looking At my phone because it made the arrow to where my headphones Were. And I was like, I was looking at the menu. Now the only satisfying, The really satisfying part Russell was every kid sitting With them. When I said, Give me back my headphones. You stole from Roosevelt Island. They all looked at this guy with shock and horror. They were like this. They were like literally shocked. I would never think you could track something like that. Oh, Russell, I'm telling you everything. That's cause you've got one of those Chinese phones, Russell. You have those greens. Wait, You're already getting tracked. We're at the Apple phones bill.
[49:00]Okay. You're already getting tracked by his most honorable President. Korean. He's got his Korean. Oh, okay. Yeah. Listen, We're a big fan. Please bring Samsung podcast back. We are dying without that platform. Our downloads are literally down like 60% after Samsung Podcast went off the air. Okay. Pat's So anyway, folks that was my rolling Going, once again chasing down teens to get my Stuff maybe they weren't financially well off And they kind of considered you like the door Dash of someone they're allowed to take stuff From. No. Okay. Actually, I thought of you guys because I picked up someone's Growth, the wrong grocery bag. Guess what I brought it back to? No. Yeah, that's right. I am mother. Teresa, I'm impressed. You got those met like so. When you got them back, is it like an hour? No, I would say probably half hour. Yeah. You, the restaurant you go in, if they, if it would have been like a school, do you
[50:00]Go in? No, no, that's what I was waiting for. What's the list of buildings you wouldn't Go into? First of all, public library. Yeah. That's a legal thing though. Okay. They have such good internet. Oh, don't worry about it. Russell. Hey, I was looking At a flared base. Now, by the way, Aaron, I had to explain that earlier. I don't know That's where the podcast was before you showed up. And I can't talk about anything Else we covered. I've been banned. Hey, like so many books that I tried getting banned At my local library, which is one of the reasons I kicked out banned in the USA. They don't Need so many books. Now, what about like it's, it's, they're on the subway car, Just you and six youth, you get on it and of course back. Yeah. Russell, you have To understand too. I'm a teacher. I'm telling kids shit all day long. Get off the elevator. Get on the elevator. I want on the elevator. Get off. I pulled the other day. You know What I pulled? Oh, sorry guys. I have a meeting. Cut the lunch line. Cut off a bunch of high School kids. I have no shame. I'll do what I want. I'm 45 fucking years old and I'm
[51:00]Stuck in middle school for the rest of my life. My life is a living hell and I'll Do what I want. Russell. Anyway, you should get to go home to your beautiful big Titty wife. Aaron, did you see that? What did you say, Aaron? I said, Aaron, you Would never say that if your wife was in your house. You would never read that. That's the, again, you guys are underestimating how bad I don't want to listen to my family. You know what I mean? Like I am willing to put my life on the line. Okay. If it Was a cop that had him, I would have went for his gun. You know what I mean? Like I would do anything to get those headphones back. Now, what if he had, what if he Had like an ear fuck this, Rob, would you have taken them anyways? Yes. I don't Care. By the way, I had a fly in my water today, picked it out, drank the rest of The water. I thought of you guys. What if they didn't bother me? What if they Looked at you and said, isn't that the guy who stole the Yeti or Yeti water Bottle from our bike? That was a coffee mug and I wash it really well. And I Did tell that story again to a new coworker and they were disgusted. Note To self. Do not tell that to people who haven't worked with you for more
[52:00]Than a couple of years. They don't get your brand of humor. Flash real life Things you do. Now, like tracking people down at the coffee place. I'll tell you My middle school boys were very impressed when I told that story at work, Which I did every class. Let's get into the album here. Let's get into Devo. A music podcast. Q, Colin. God, I did not want to like this Album. And we'll talk about it. Interesting. Very Interesting. Very interesting. I'm going to lose 100 hooks. I'm going To lose $100. Maybe there may be predictions. Okay. Listen. Mark Mother's Bar. Singer of the band born 1950. Okay. Devo stands for de Evolution. And the whole idea of the band is that mankind is Regressing. So this is kind of like the same guy who wrote Lego Music movie music. No, Karen, you're getting right into my end note Here. Oh, that's Mark Mother's Bar. Oh, great. Cool. He is a
[53:00]Body's nuts. He's What? Mark mother body's nuts. That's funny. It does sound good. If you find that taking a mother ball, your nuts, I'd be like, Sure, I guess I'm on my lunch break, but I there's a dumpster Out back. You could mother's boss by nuts by the dumpster. No Problem. Mark's mother boss, big bust. Oh, come on, Rob. Think of a big Oh, Tim T. Bo, T. Bone, Tim T. Bone, big bust nailed it. Thank you. The band stands for de Evolution. T bag is right there. What? I mean, oh my God, Tim T bag. Big bus 15. Still busted. God damn it. Still Busted. Yeah. Big busty wives. Big bus three. Okay. I'm Going to look that up real quick. Okay. We're going to do Game number four. Does
[54:00]Have my kids audio story on your back. Tim T. Bo leg, big Bust, tragic life of dog, the body owner. Okay. So it doesn't Exist. Had a very sad ending to this bit. I have no idea What dog the body hunter Russell have. I got good news For you. You guys can stop watching the Charlie Sheet documentary and you can start watching a greater Documentary of a man with a busty wife who loves picking Up perps in Hawaii. Now, you might think to yourself, Isn't Hawaii like the easiest place to catch perps who Were jumping bail? And the answer is yes, it is, which Is why they do it with just bear spray. They have no guns. Now, Devo stands for de evolution. First, he's Braced. Hey, if bear spraying people by day and Putting my face into my wife's ample bosom by night is Wrong. I don't want to be right, dog. You better take Me back to prison. Give me a cigarette in the car. Russell, you'll get that after you marathon it this Later. Okay, Aaron, I've almost gotten through the Fact I said when you got up and left about five Minutes ago. And the whole idea is that mankind in Fact is regressing. Okay, it's going backwards. The
[55:00]Whole theme of the album is anti-commercialism. It's Art rock kind of meets pop punk. The idea of the Album, the idea of the band in general is from His Mark mother bra's brother, Bob mother bra, Mother bra these bras, mother unsnap mother bra, Big bus and bigger than before with that big Bus is I think the big bus guy has lost it. Did you see this last one? Big bus 16 bus with the Big bus, big busies. That doesn't make sense. I think He's stroking out. Hey, Mel, can we get your Thoughts on this pic? Ah, he's going to be a Big bus. What do you think? Long wigspan, big Bust. Wow. Wow, Russell, you've got me Thinking. I had to end this podcast. I got Something to look at later. Now, here's the deal. The brother, and this is going to be a tough Transition for me. The brother named the band Devolution because he was at the Kent State Shooting and saw how terrible it was and said we Need to. That's a fact we could leave out. We
[56:00]Need to go back. I'll edit that out. I'll edit That out. But his other brother, Jim, was The drummer on all the demos and then Quit before this album came out and then Went along and he was one of the guys that Came up with MIDI, like the computer Music. Oh wow. Aaron, is there any chance Is there any chance that Russell knows what MIDI is? Yeah, of course there's a chance. Russell said maybe he's from a MIDI list at Some point. Do you know what MIDI is? Well, those kind of like the music on the Old cell phones. You are correct, Russell. The music on the old cell phones. I told You had it. Name this MIDI tune. Don't look at the screen. No, Russell's not that song, but I like the Bass. This, of course, is Michael Jackson, Billy Jean. Oh my god, MIDI sucks so bad. Now, Aaron, going off on the MIDI Noise. Yeah. So that was it. So this Music is a new moment. Don't tempt me
[57:00]To do a Michael Winslow moment. Oh, come on. What else would you do? If you spent the Day hanging out with Michael Winslow on a Training day, first of all, imagine the Movie training day with Michael Winslow. Smoke this crack. Oh my god, there's a Helicopter. Oh, I've smoked crack with Michael Winslow. Now he's got me thinking There's a. This is where Rob forgets His Michael Winslow. Like the sound Effects don't come through the audio, But he keeps doing it, but none of us Can hear it. I'm sorry, you guys. I don't, I'm, this is not my fault, But I have to make this joke, but Oh, God, Aaron, like I cannot wait. He must have been really good at Oral sex too. Oh my God. I mean, for sure, right? Like Do the helicopter. Now do the machine Gun. I'm sorry. I what I Mean? You know, I tried to use the Most polite language I could. Aaron, you disgust me. Now this is a Pop, punk and art rock. I've said It's similar to the B 52s who also Launched their first album in 1978.
[58:00]This is a debut album. And the thing Is this band got big with a short Film up at the University of Michigan. David Bowie catches on to The band through the film. Now you Have to remember at this point, David Bowie is either super high on cocaine And just eating milk and peppers or Super high on something else. He's At a very high stage right now Because he recommends them to Brian Eno and says, I'm going to produce These guys, Brian. Come help me. David Bowie then drops out, I'm Assuming because of so much cocaine. Brian Eno takes over. They record The song where Aaron? Germany, Of course. Isn't this the most German Sounding record you've ever heard in Your life? Yeah, it was. Yeah, I was Thinking of Kraftwerk listening. Yeah, exactly. And all those other German bands we love. Romstein, God nailed it. You didn't Think I'd do it, but I did it. David Hasselhoff. Then they don't Get along. Eno comes up with all These cool synthesizer sounds. Devo says, no, we want it to sound Just like our demos and they don't Give a shit what anybody says. They're not doing commercials. They Don't have a manager. And then
[59:00]They produce this. They get up to 78 on the billboard, but I can't get No satisfaction becomes a big hit On MTV, which is crazy. And also they I think on SNL they do It like in 78 and they just blow up. Also crazy because I've never heard It until we listened to this album. I didn't know it was a hit. Have You ever seen Casino? Yeah. Casino. Oh really? Man, Scorsese is good, huh? There's Devo in Casino. I would have lost that bet for Sure. The first concert they ever Play outside of Ohio is in Minneapolis. And now Mark Mother's Ball has gone on to be kind Of a Trent Resner type movie Producer, right? He's done the Rugrats theme. He did the theme To Sims 2, which is something That's played all the time at our House, although maybe not Sims 2. He does a bunch of the Wes Anderson Movies. Rushmore, one of the Greatest soundtracks in my mind Ever created, put together. It's A great CD. Life Aquatic, which is Also great. It's got a lot of
[1:00:00]Portuguese gave the Bowie on it. Thor Ragnarok, Cocaine Bear, and The Minecraft movie. He did the Songs. He did it for all that. So He's like blowing up, but it all Started with this weird-ass band Called Devo. And this is one of the Songs that sounds more punky of Theirs, but it gives you the Energy of Devo. Yeah. Big time. Yeah, 78. This sounds like The Clash Elvis Costello. A lot of Other stuff we've heard. It's a fun Start. Uncontrollable videos of them Doing this live. Oh, yeah. They're Fun to watch live. They are like Crazy fun to watch. They're a big Time live band. Uncontrollable Urge. You guys ever do anything Super impulsive? Like just, I Guess, Aaron, you going down to Missouri, the Kansas City. That was Up there. That's all. Jefferson City was where I ended up. Kansas City would have been an upgrade Over Jefferson City. Oh, Jefferson,
[1:01:00]I didn't even know it was Jefferson City. Jeff City. Yeah. Right in the Middle of the state. Man, you ever do Anything super impulsive? You don't Seem like an impulsive guy. No, not Really. I can't think of anything. Russell. Jefferson City. Oh, yeah. I Started this podcast with Russell, But that's about it. That's the only Appulsive thing I've ever done. I Did just tonight commit to Spending $$$ on a ticket for a Game five of the baller's Playoffs, if necessary. I did the old Dollars. I bought, did the old buy the Buy the game five, if necessary, when They haven't forced the game five Yet. This is for like an independent League baseball team. Dude's right Behind on plate and it's for the Chip. It would be the championship Game if they're there. Aaron, I love it. Behind the Plate. $$. Nobody in the history Of minor league baseball has paid $$. You have to bleep that out Because my wife is listening. Oh, my gosh. You know what? I'm going to Bleep it out because it's going to sound Even sicker. Oh, yeah. You spend that Much money, Aaron. You spent $$$.
[1:02:00]$500 on baseball tickets and I'm Going to bleep out baseball tickets Too. It's going to sound like you're Just buying some sick shit. Sick. And you don't, you don't even know If it has a flared base. I don't Know about that. Now that is you Could have bought like two solar Panels from the kid next door for 70 bucks. Oh, solar's out the Window. We are on the roads of Full electrification, though. I have air conditioning. I'm Sitting here in the air conditioning. It is. Yeah. It's 2025. Dumb shit. We all have air conditioning. It's 62 degrees outside. I still Have the AC on because, fuck it. Okay. You cannot get on my ass for Using AI to tell me I look pretty. Dude, it's 80% humidity out there. It's too, it's too humid. My lady's gone. My son wants to Sleep with the window closed. AC's on. That's it. Next up, I can't get no satisfaction. This is wild. Imagine. Can you sing along with this? Disfaction. And a tread.
[1:03:00]And a tread. That's pretty good, Rob. I'm impressed. This is bizarre and strange. I appreciate the bizarre and strange. This song is so terrible it should Disqualify this out from the list. What? Oh, wow. This is so bad. Wow. I cannot disagree. This is a disqualified song. This is wild. Acidating this song. I mean, I think this is a valid point, Russell. Hold on. Yeah. Just let it keep playing, Rob. So it gets to the casino part and see If you guys recognize it or not. But yeah, Russell, I don't know. You know, I've had takes like that On other albums and songs and stuff. So I'm not going to, I definitely know The feeling, but I don't. I'm almost intrigued by it. I could even see putting it on, Like a playlist that you've got on your phone. You should watch the Divo documentary That's on Netflix right now. You take like an all-time song like that. Like if you look at like the Rolling Stones, 500 greatest songs, this is probably In the top 50, right?
[1:04:00]Yeah. 100. This is in the top 50 and Otis Redding's cover Is probably in the top 250. You take a song like this And you just turn it into this. I don't even know how to describe it. I think it disqualifies the album from the list. I love it. I think they're breaking down the song. They're turning it into what the music Was like at the time. And they're putting a spin on it When they talk about the commercialism. That's what they're really emphasizing in the song, Which is with the theme of this whole album. Oh, I like it, Russell. I think it's fun now. I love those takes. This is really good stuff, guys. Did you see the video for Russell? I haven't seen any of the videos. I've been too busy watching these dog, The bounty hunter in his wife videos. Russell, when you're done with Charlie Sheen Playing basketball against Michael Jordan or whatever, You should watch with me the Divo documentary, man. You said it was so good. So what they basically talked about in there Is that they didn't have a manager, Which really fucked them In trying to get this album actually written Or actually like
[1:05:00]All the money they should get for this album. But then they convinced somebody, They told them, well, you can be our manager If you get us on a Saturday Night Live. That person got them on Saturday. They wanted to go on Saturday Night Live Because they thought that was the height Of kind of like the alt universe In the world right now With all the comedians and everything. So they wanted to go hang out with those people. So they get on there, they start, They get signed by a record company. The record company wants to put their album Into all of these record stores, But they want to spend $5,000 to make posters, To put their faces in the record stores. And they say, can we just take that money And make a video? And the record company, people are like, what? Cause there's no MTV or anything. And they take the $5,000, They were going to put their face And they make that video, Rob. And that video ends up being like genius For the marketing side of things. But that's the thing, right? As they started with the movie, So you know, Devo is already thinking About alternative art. I mean, imagine making a music video before MTV. Like, who the fuck is doing that?
[1:06:00]Aaron, I think, and then I'll just, I'll just briefly say The whole Kent state thing, right? It's okay now. It was just, it was terrible in business. Right. Like this they're They, this band basically came out of that Tragedy. How can I cancel that word? Tragedy. I've edited it seamlessly. Yeah. You know, because that it just, They had this thing like, They don't want to go down this normal life. They just want to do their music. And I'm very, it's making it very simplistic. Rosie, I think if you watched the documentary, You would absolutely love this band. You think so? Like just the people, Just the people behind it more. Like the music They're a little out there In some of their stuff, right? Yeah. But the three or four Main members they are activists. They're not political. They don't want to be political, But they want to Get their message out there. You know, they have this whole thing. And again, good, bad or different,
[1:07:00]But about Their parents were really into Christianity, And they just absolutely go against that. And so they did this whole thing Where they started an alternative band That they would open up for themselves. But they made a band called Dove, The band of love. And all they did was soft rock Christian music As like a And so then they would go out there And play these soft rock Christian music songs. And people would be booing them And say, well, get off the stage. We just want Divo. And it was Divo the whole time, But they didn't want to pay an opening act. And so they just did They sound like they might be giants To me kind of thing. So I would watch the documentary. It's fascinating. It's so strange. Yeah. To me, Divo has a very distinct look. Like I feel like a Divo came on the stage And I'm like, hey, we're another band. I'd be like, no, you're not. You got the fucking flowerpots on. Like you're fucking, you're in toxic. You're in like yellow toxic waste gear. So I mean, they, they're extremely interesting. We had this happen in Las Vegas
[1:08:00]With Spandex Nation. And the, what do they call them? The draw. I think you mean it. Aaron, I think you mean it. And if I wake my wife up doing this, She'll understand. I'm going to put some major echo and reverb on that. Yeah. He's looking at me right now. Oh, I don't know. She must be in there with her Michael Winslow tape Because it sounds like there's something. Sounds like there's a helicopter there. You know, it sounds like there's a car alarm. And that's my classic vibrator, different modes bit. Why do they exist? Yep. Hey, my sister goes, Do you want me to tell you why they exist? I go, no, no, it's certainly not from you. I'm not going to hear that information Unless I don't lock some sort of super sex secret Where I could take that to my busty wife after I'm done
[1:09:00]Bringing criminals to justice. Aaron, can I ask you if this joke is funny? Can I ask you if this joke is funny? Sure. Rob is short for my name, Throb. Oh yeah. That's a great joke. Thank you. That was a really good joke. This guy was the composer. You were talking about this, Rob? Right. For also, for the movie Revenge of the Nerds, Two nerds in paradise. So this is like, the Revenge of the Nerds band Is clearly based on the divo band. About a hundred percent. Okay, right. And it turns out this guy, He was the guy who composed the next movie, Nerds in Paradise. And I saw a divo wearing a Darth Vader outfit Making out with a girl. She's something from Revenge of the Nerds That's burned in my brain. Couldn't tell you how they got there. I'm sure Revenge of the Nerds, If you watch it now, is very inappropriate. Can you imagine if I showed my kids that? It's like, oh, here's a movie, But it's about a bunch of nerds, But they won. Actually, that sounds like a great movie. We should make it.
[1:10:00]Opening scene is one of them chasing a guy Through New York to get his headphones back. And then I go back to my busty wife, I am. Thank God. This is called Praying Hands. It was like the twist, But for fundamental Christians. This is the one tattoo I want so much, But I'm not going to do it. I love a Praying Hands tattoo. I love a Praying Hands on the neck. Love it, but it's not me. I'm not going to do it. Aaron, that is such an awesome thing to say. I love that you've been with Praying Hands on your neck. I want a Praying Hands tattoo so much. Are you talking about the text emoji? Is that what you want? The Praying Hands text emoji? Praying Hands is a classic tattoo. But you don't want to do it. I mean, let's just face it. Is this a Hispanic tattoo? I do think it's popular in Hispanic culture. I don't think it's exclusively that, But yeah, it's probably more. I mean, it just wouldn't look right on me. I'll tell you what,
[1:11:00]I got a tattoo on my hand for my middle school I worked at. My middle school was number 13. I just cannot tell you. So much trouble. More trouble than it's worth. It just is like... Next up, Space Junk. This song is about a woman hit by Space Junk. Hey, the last song I was going to talk to you about, What is your, what was your church scene growing up? I, my family never went to church. But then when I was in the boy choir, I would go to a lot of churches to sing. And they'd be like, it's time for the Eucharist. And I was like, hell yeah, snack time. I'd be up there eating that bread, Drinking the wine. And then like after like three years of that, Some guy I was with was like, Were you ever like confirmed or anything? And I was like, oh no, because that was the other thing. That was my other church thing. When people got confirmed, I was so jealous. They would make like $85, $200. They would get confirmed to get this money. I was like, mom, why am I not getting confirmed?
[1:12:00]And she's like, I took you to one day of Sunday school. You ran out and hid in a tree. And that's a true story. Okay. Avoiding. Sometimes I avoid conflict. Okay. But I was not confirmed. What was your guys' church style growing up? Oh dude, I was every Sunday, 8 a.m. Oh, we had 9 30. Oh, much more humane. That's brutal. You guys went every, So you just had to wake up early every Sunday. Yeah. Didn't you just hate that? Yeah, that's why I don't go to church now. I would never spend my Sunday morning in church. I hated getting up on Sunday mornings. I don't care if it would be. Sorry. Apologies to anyone who does that. That's wonderful. No what? It's too early. I don't care if my dad was waking me up to take me to watch Episodes of dog the bounty hunter. I could be getting ice cream and watching dog the bounty hunter. 8 a.m. On a Sunday is too early, even then. Every Sunday, Matt, you went every Sunday. Yeah. Russell, what was your church scene? We went, but we were not the 8 a.m.
[1:13:00]If there were like three services, we were at the middle one. So we were home before the Vikings out of there early enough To like go get a donut afterwards, But now they go for the bike game. There you go. Yeah. Did you guys get confirmed? Did you get that money that I'm missing? We got that money. Damn it. Damn it. Maybe I could still. That's why we're way ahead of you, Rob. Like we're way, like that money's been in the market growing Since I was, but whatever. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Oh, you're the one guy who got his confirmation money And didn't blow it on a Sega Genesis with all the beast When Sonic the hedgehog had just come out. Idiot. This is a song. This is the single that came out. Is this okay to say? Can you say my name? No, absolutely. I wouldn't recommend saying it, Aaron, But they still do this song all the time live, Which fucking blows my mind. I can't believe they kicked a guy out For doing something like 15th. Divo will be at the Palace Theater, the Twin Cities, And I have it on my calendar as a question mark to go. I think this band, after watching the documentary,
[1:14:00]As a live band, this has got to be like, They might be giants or one of those ones Where they're probably a lot better live Than they need to think they are kind of a deal. So I can see why Matt would like this. And I think it's because Matt might like some of the bands That Divo inspired. So I thought we could do a quick list Of the bands that Divo inspired. That's like some of the book bands I inspired By going down to my local library and protesting. There's too many books. We need so many nightmare Halloween books, You know, with the scary dry ends. We only needed one, not two bands. We're going to start with number three on the list Because you've been talking about this band for a while, Matt. The band is Weezer. Check it out. Oh, totally. It helps that Mark Mothersbaugh looks just like this pairing. Yep. They look exactly like nerdy persona, slightly awkward,
[1:15:00]Syncopated. Rivers Cuomo has been cited as saying Divo is the band that made it okay To be weird and pop. Okay. Wow. Yep. It's Matt. You've been saying it until we get to 294. This band, you don't want to hear it, but the influence for Weezer is Divo. Yeah. Wow. I can see it. We just got a couple of songs talking about playing Dungeons and Dragons in their garage and stuff like that. I mean, they definitely go full on nerd with it all. Speaking of nerds, next band on the list inspired by these guys, It's, they might be giants, Rob. It's your favorite band. Don't, don't let's start. This is the worst part for all the world. But you are my precious little girl. Oh, it's a great song. Kind of that Divo style, ironic, jumping ribbons, nonsense lyrics, right? Yeah. I mean, this could have been a Divo song. Listen to them for 12 hours a day playing your Amiga.
[1:16:00]Computer, which of course everybody else had a better computer than your parents Bought an Amiga, which did almost nothing. Shout out to my Amiga heads out there. Next up on the list, I wouldn't expect this band, but the band is Nirvana. Look it up. Okay. I mean, you can kind of hear it, right? And like if you said, this was satisfaction. Angular approach. Yeah. I mean, I do think like Kurt Cobain had more of a sense of humor than we Remember, right? Sorry about that. Yeah, for sure. He said this was one of his 50 greatest albums of all time. Wow. Kurt Cobain cited this and he said it's one of the bands who came from the Underground actually made it mainstream. They're just awesome. I loved it. He loved them. Aaron, let's role play real quick. Okay. Okay. You be a reporter, ask, and I'll be Kurt Cobain. You be a reporter and you ask me for my favorite 50 albums of all time. Go ahead. Hi. This is Kurt Loder from NTV News and I'm here with Kurt Cobain. Is Tabitha's we're in there? Nirvana.
[1:17:00]Hello. Tabitha. Kurt. Stay on topic. Stay on topic. Is Dan Cortez there? He's at the beach. I need to talk to Daisy Fuentes immediately. He beat me to it. Kurt, what are your top 50 favorite albums of all time? What the fuck? You're seriously asking me about 50 albums? God damn, that's a lot of albums. I'll give you a top three. What the fuck? 50 albums? Why do you care what number 38 is on my list? 50 seems like a good round number to understand. Oh my God. I just want to know more about you. Please is, who was on that? Was that Jenny McCarthy? You know, that did another MTV one. Was Bill Bellamy? Was he an MTV guy? Oh, yes. Yes, good. Polly Shore. It makes me forget about downtown Julie Brown. Jesse from the countdown. Erin, I love it when you bob shit. That was great. Did you remember when Jesse won the thing with the Carson Daily and you turned out to be like a real weird stoner And then the head of the second place person? Erin, you're talking about MTV when we were like 16.
[1:18:00]That's weird MTV. You were watching weird MTV. I was watching normal MTV with MTV News and Kurt Loder. Total Request Live. That was what it was, TRL. TRL, no. You were too old to be watching that, Erin. This is what my sister was watching. I think I was just trying to be nice and make siblings. It's very suspicious. This was used for a lot of excuses. She was busy watching that in like NBA dunk contest, So she could work ADP. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's exactly it. Oh, you want to hear more about that? Listen to next week's voicemail. Next band on the list. I think we've talked about this band before. I think Matt likes this one. It's the Flaming Lips. Oh, I like the Flaming Lips. Yeah, this is a good song. I got to tell you guys, this is gross that I'm going to say this. When this song comes up on my Pandora, I track it. You track it. I track it. I know. It's a great song. I know I should like it. What's that? Why don't you like it? The voice. I get it, but I just can't. I can't like it. You feel that. That's all right.
[1:19:00]All right. Last one on the list is actually not. It's what was the guy? It's Mike's mother's bra or whatever that guy. Yep. Mark. You were saying like he composed my balls. He composed a lot of music, including the little rascals. What was that soundtrack? You said the Rugrats. So one of those Rugrats soundtracks had a lot of famous Singers. Lisa Loeb, Jacob Dillon, Iggy Pop, Blue Rawls, Fife Dog is on this song. The guy from Safer Seal, Lenny Kravitz, Rob. I don't know what famous about Lenny Kravitz That you would like to talk about. But listen, in terms of talking about the Rugrats, I am not going to be talking about my Lenny Kravitz bit Right now. Okay. But I cannot go from a Lenny Kravitz bit To talking about the Rugrats. That would be very wrong. One of the first that is featured on this song Of the Rugrats is Beck. Check this song out. Beck's got a lyric on here. Wow.
[1:20:00]Oh yeah. It's when it comes to influencing Beck, It did better. Wait, what? Mark Mother's bra. Mark Mother's bra. Did it better. Isn't that demo inspired? Good job, Russell. I would say to me. That was a top five list. Great list. Good job, Russell. That was very good. I figured if they, if Bannis talked about, He doesn't want to hear it on any of these bands Until we get to Weezer. And there's kind of the predecessor. Yeah, I get it. Well, I just, I'm judging What I do. Do I think that whatever album is better Than Weezer at 294? There you go. Wow. Stay tuned till the end of the episode. Jaco Homo. Now, Aaron, if you want to hear a great joke I had on this earlier, just listen to the podcast. I had a really good one, but then don't listen After that part because it goes downhill. This is their anthem where they said, Are we not men? We are a divo. Right. Mark Mother's bra said that during concerts, They would sometimes play this song For 25 minutes and just yell into the crowd Over and over, are we not men?
[1:21:00]We are a divo until the crowd was so mad. That would be hard. I love it now. So there's no titular track, But it's a titular line in this other track. Wow. How does that work? They buried the titular track. Aaron, I'll tell you what, Titular lines that's got me thinking About my Maxim subscription That I just restarted tonight. They had some great stuff. Actually what? One of their cover articles was there And on Maxim right now. I do want to know. Japanese whiskies. Various, I know. I was like, Maxim, We've grown up together. We grew up, but now we're back together. Did they talk about the Koji fermented kanosuke? Jaco Homo was covered in polka form. We lost our tails. We're down. We're holding up. You know it. Of course, he's a divo fan. I say it's all just wind and sails. Does Jaco the podcast host acknowledge The song Jaco Homo? Well, Aaron, there was a little bit About that earlier, But once again, you're going to have to listen Because he said something About going down to the manhole.
[1:22:00]So I'm just going to guess. I see if you can put that together. Why would Jaco say he wants to go down To the manhole? I'm not going to ask those questions. Well, you don't have to ask. It's already on vinyl. Yep. That's right. I'm putting this episode on vinyl. Okay. How much of this episode could we fit on vinyl? Like a half hour? You know what, Russell? I'm kind of leaning toward the beginning part. Aaron's not really bringing it like I thought he would. Honestly, I feel like we had it And Aaron's kind of long for the ride. Fantasy football. That's the part of the beach When I flip it over to the next part. Yeah. It's like when Ray Lewis took Trent Dillford To Super Bowl championships. It's like that guy's, He's kind of a big boss. He was a big bust before that, It's also like when he took that bear spray You were talking about earlier, too, That Dog the Bounty Hunter uses, right? I got a great bear naked spray joke, But I'm not going to use it. So thank you. Okay. Now, by the way, Trent Dillford is already a poor name. Don't think about it too much. Too much paranoias. This is where they just made a song Using fast food, like advertisements.
[1:23:00]And one of them said they just wanted to play Fast food advertisements over blues riffs As one of their songs to make a statement. Now, Matt, you go to the concert, You hear this song, Got to step out and get a beer, don't you? Probably. I mean, it kind of, It feels like they should be a, Like a quick 70 minute show kind of thing. Yeah. Right? Like they're not a two hour, Two and a half hour show. Oh unless they played 25 minutes of Jaco Homo. But yeah, it should be a tight show. It should be an hour long. It should be an adult show. Like going at nine home at 10, you're good. You could not mention Weird Al Without seeing Dare to be Stupid. Dare to be Stupid is his, Is his Devo pastiche. It's not a parody, but it's a pastiche. And look at the video, Russell, for Dare to be Stupid. They are doing a Devo bit with the yellow suits. Okay. I know Aaron doesn't like Weird Al.
[1:24:00]I do. What am I trying to get into? Real question for you though, Aaron. Yeah. Who's got more musical talent? Devo or Weird Al? Wow. That's a great question. What do you mean by musical talent? I mean Doesn't the one guy play an accordion? Yeah. I mean, Weird Al did do the, You know, the one Weird Al song I really like is the Star Wars one to the tune of American Pie. That one kind of gets me. I do like that one. You know what? I love Weird Al. And I think that now I've grown up doing parody songs That are equally good. Aaron you should have heard tonight's Parody song. It was really good. But Rob, you mentioned a Devo pastiche, And that reminds me of the The ice cream treat they serve At Devo concerts. Aaron what? I salute that joke. Devo pastiche. I'm putting on my Neville whites. That was so good. I had to do it. It's not a review. I thought you were going to talk about The drink from the Blues Brothers, The Orange Whippets. Three Orange Whips.
[1:25:00]Three Orange Whips. Orange Whip. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's on the Life Aquatic soundtrack, I think. I listened to this song, And I'll get this guys. This is how the podcast has changed My life. I have a pump-up list That I use before two things. When I go out and squat, Powerlifting, And every day when I'm driving into work. I have to be listening to a pump-up list As I'm going into work, Or I go insane. I used to do podcasts, But then I would have to stop Listening to them, And it would piss me off. So now I just listen to DMX, This song, Welcome to the Jungle, Gets me fired up for work. You guys get fired up for work in any way. What do you listen to When you're driving into work? I'm going to have a handful of songs That I'll go to pumping up songs. But you're getting pumped up for work, right? Like, you've got to kind of be like... Oh, it depends. I think that song Wraps up very much like Something you might hear In like a PlayStation game. Like, if you're doing the whole run derby
[1:26:00]On like an MLB 20 to 25, It sounds like that could be The background music for me. Yeah, I like that. I mean, the build on this song Is outrageous. This is such a good building song. It's fun. And they say, Oh, the Devo songs all sound so impersonal. This doesn't. This sounds like it's a real person Singing about real feelings to me. It sounds like an advanced NES Nintendo game song. Wow. You think we're doing like F1 racing, F0 racing here? Oh, I know. Yeah, you like that. I mean, he has kind of given it here. It's like there's a little bit of soul there, maybe. This is the best song on the album By a factor of a thousand. This is one of the greatest songs Ever made. In my opinion, I'm giving this a top five song award. Wow. I do. I love it. I really do. I texted you guys even. Comeback Joan. This was in the Ramones Rock and Roll High School movie. You guys like comeback sauce? Who makes your favorite comeback sauce? Mine's at Lovelies downtown. What is a comeback sauce, Aaron? I don't know exactly. It's a sauce that it's kind of reddish. It's kind of maybe it's kind of like ranch adjacent.
[1:27:00]It's homemade ketchup. You like the homemade ketchup at restaurants? I'll tell you what. Real tomato ketchup. When a restaurant brings out real tomato ketchup, I rage. I'm so pissed. If that ketchup is dark as a scab, If it's like scab dark, I'm not happy about it. I want my ketchup as mine. I would guess there is ketchup as an ingredient In comeback sauce, But comeback sauce is in fact different from ketchup. Back sauce. Oh, here. Now I got to scrub my internet search history. Thanks, you. Okay. It's a dipping sauce used for fried foods. Made ingredients are mayonnaise, ketchup, or chili sauce. There you go. Mayonnaise and ketchup? I've been doing comeback sauce for years, apparently. I do that shit all the time. People walk into your rep's house again. I'll tell you what. You want to look like a fat guy? Start putting mayonnaise on shit with ketchup. Holy cow. That's what I did my hot dog on Tuesday night. Mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet peppers, hot peppers, sauerkraut. I love it. This song is called Sloppy. It's all my baby getting.
[1:28:00]Oh, it's kind of fun. It's fun. Russell, what's your opinion? I'm thinking about sloppy joes. You getting sloppy? You want to be on top of some sloppy joes? What's going on? I don't know the last time I had one because I don't have kids And I don't go to school events. Okay. If we look at your fridge and there's like 25 sloppy joes in there, That's going to be crazy, Russell. You didn't know there was no canned sloppy joes. I don't know. I don't know. Honey, we have so many sloppy joes. I told you the sloppy joes are in the fridge. We're eating sloppy joes once a week around here. I love it. Wallace likes them. I'm so happy. Aaron, do you say to your kids like I do, I know you're like a extra sloppy. I don't because the now I think of sloppy stakes. See, I think you should leave bit room in it for me. I can't say yes. I just want to call them sloppy stakes instead. Matt, sloppy joes. Love them. Yeah, love them. Yep. Russell, you're missing out on the sloppy joes. I am missing out on it.
[1:29:00]That simply sound fantastic. Picture a hamburger. I hate looser. I mean, it's so sloppy. It's so sloppy. Thank God I was a named Joe growing up. I'll tell you that. What would Brab be made? What was that joke? What's that? What was the joke with your name? Oh, well, everybody called me Throb growing up, of course. But that's your full name. So I think Slobbert. I think Slobbert was the one that kind of hit me hard. And then my parents got me the book Mr. Messy Because I apparently I was quite messy. And not in the way you're thinking, Russell, Where I'm scoring a header for Inter, Miami. Nailed it. Save the bit. Now we're pulling up. Let's go, baby. We're almost to that last song, Matt. Pull up. Matt is eating his last half bag of beef jerky. God, he wants to end this so bad. Shrivel up. Yeah, eat it because the resealable thing Doesn't work anymore. So you can't, you got to finish it up. Hey, and I'll tell you what, You got me thinking about seals that don't work, Aaron.
[1:30:00]It's seal lately as they put on an album In like 10 years. Seal. This is so bad and oddly appealing to me That I kind of like it, but it's so bad. That's the whole problem with this album. That's so fucked, Russell. I thought this was going with your last song, The theory that you had. This song, you might think, oh, is this album like fun? This song kind of sums up the album's thematic elements, Namely consumerism, relationship between parents, And the banal doom of life. So does this sound like a perfect album for me? Oh, let me think, banal doom of life? Check. Relationship between parents and children? Check. Okay, I say sometimes I say one thing When I mean my smother, Aaron. And then consumerism. Check. I love buying shit. Headphones. Love buying headphones. You know what, though? What's up? I, serious question. Is there weird guitar tuning in that song? What's the story in the guitar tuning in that song?
[1:31:00]A thousand percent. There's some weird, big-time weird shit going on. Listen, we don't have time to talk about guitar tuning, though, Aaron. We have to simply get to the best. Oh, now I can't cut out that part about the guitar tuning. Shit. Our listeners will just have to Google it themselves. Tell you what, Aaron. You know, if I play guitar, I play a flared bass. Now, there's a whole subset of people Who know what I'm talking about with a flared bass. Now, is this Roanwell tone, this is great at 252? And now, of course, we've gone up to the top of Mount Everest, And then we're going down the other side, Which why don't they do that? You know what I mean? Go down the other side. What? Aren't there a lot of dead bodies up there? Aaron, why are you bumming me out? Okay? I'm paying some sherpa to drag me up Mount Everest. Don't bum me out on the way up. Fair. And speaking of going up, Should this album be going up, up, up? On a Tuesday. In the rating system this is, Which would have been back in time.
[1:32:00]You might be listening on Tuesday. It's a lower, no, that's with this L, John. Lower number, okay? That would be rolling, Boned if you think it should have been higher on the list, Which of course is a lower number. Or is this a rolling groan, okay? This should have been way lower on the list. We shouldn't have heard it, okay? There's a lot of songs here That I've never heard before, And I'll never hear again. Maybe it should be lower on the list, Which of course is a higher number. Or is this perfect rolling well tone, okay? Russell, what do you think? Rolling well tone, rolling bone, or rolling groan? The album is strange, bizarre, unique. I appreciate that about that. I like that they're doing something different, Something new. It's odd and intriguing at times, But to be this high on the list, I don't care if there's a great documentary about them. This is way too high. You get rid of the first 251 albums. You can't tell me this is the greatest album of all time. Rolling groan, this is way too high. If you want to put this in the 490s,
[1:33:00]I'd be okay with it. Otherwise, rolling groan. What are we talking about? Matt, what do you think? Rolling well tone, rolling bone, or rolling groan? I like this. The deeper we get in the list, The more disagreements we have. It's kind of like a marriage. What do you think about that, Rob? You tell me a little more. My marriage has fallen apart Because I'm always on my noise-canceling headphones. My wife said she'd paid a number of teens To take them from me, But then I was hunting them down with a Terminator 2. I was like metal Terminator 2 Thinking about having to listen to an email From work story. Just Terminator 2 going after him in the car, grabbing on. So you don't like hearing email stories from work, Rob? No, they're great, man. I love them. Okay. Did I make my wife cry the other day Because I made a joke about something telling a long story? Yes. It's a long story. You don't like telling long stories. I got to feel like I make my wife cry more than you guys do.
[1:34:00]That's just a guess. I never make her wife cry right now. I never make her wife cry. I can confidently say I've never done that. All the time. When I reminded you didn't get into the same holy choir, She breaks down the injustice and the thought of it. Makes her sick. My busty wife gets sick over that, Erin. Ear is streaming down her eclatage. Eclatage. Erin, rolling well-toned, rolling boner, rolling grown. I don't know. I, Russell, make some really good points. I don't know. I try not to be suede, but I expected to hate this music Because I don't like whip it. Maybe there's another deep little song that I'm aware of That I also don't like. But I was pleasantly surprised. I like the punk elements. I like the witticism. I, I kind of enjoy the angular nature of the music. I'm still going to agree with Russell and call it a rolling grown Because I think we're going to hear other stuff that I enjoy more. But I, I'm, I'm kind of impressed. I think Divo's pretty cool.
[1:35:00]Listen, this album gets a rolling. Get back. Wait, we didn't go Matt. He was skipped Matt. Yeah, he skipped right over. I was asking him all sorts of questions and he just, Matt, you tuned me out. Rolling well-toned, rolling bone. My favorite part is that Rob is angry that he's going to call on Matt now. He's, he's annoyed with us that we stopped with His own process. Nice feedback. I don't mind it. Great. Okay. Matt, rolling well-toned, rolling grown or rolling bone, Or I'm going to give you a fourth option, Praying hands. Hey, you can give this a praying hands. If you want, I'm going to let you choose right now. I'm going to give it a praying hands or so. Wow. I was with Rosie. I thought I wouldn't like this album. I liked it a lot. I liked it even more, way more after watching the documentary. And it's probably true for most bands, right? Like if somebody, people are voting for somebody to be on a top 500 list, Like that band or that person or that singer or whoever is probably a pretty Interesting person who's done a lot of good stuff in their life. And that's a great story how they came up.
[1:36:00]I think people would, I don't know if everybody's going to like the Documentary, but if you're kind of like a, like nerdy stuff and figure out Where people come from and just like hearing good, I mean, they're good storytellers, stuff like that. So I like music. So I like most musical documentaries, but watching that documentary really make Me had a different appreciation for Divo and where they are and who they are And their influence. So I will also agree that this prop, just look at the next 20 albums. There's a lot more albums I'd rather say or top 500 of all time kind of a thing. But Divo is an absolutely wonderful band and they have their place in the Lexicon of rock and roll history. So I'll say Rolling Grown should be lower on the list, but I did thoroughly enjoy it. Well, I'll tell you what, man. Okay. Unfortunately, you guys are, Are you going to get with Russell? Are you going to give Russell a chance? I did do Russell already. Didn't I? Sorry. You did. God, man, you stressed me out.
[1:37:00]That was on purpose. Listen, here's what we're going to do. I feel like there's been some tension today. We're going to do a documentary swap. Russell, you're going to watch the Divo documentary. Matt, you're going to watch the Charlie Sheen documentary. Aaron, you and I are going to swap wives. Okay. So I think when we do all that, I think things are going to go fine. Aaron, don't make her cry. I'll do my best. I know I can't edit that part out. I am still going to edit it out. Now I'm going to beep it out. I made my wife beep. It's going to sound so bad. Oh, good. Next week, or I'm sorry, this album gets a rolling de-evolution. De-evolution? Yeah, but guess what? That's good. We're sitting in the jungle eating berries jerking it all day. Sign me up. Okay. I like this future that Divo has presented. Okay. Put me back in the water. Give me fucking fins. Let's go next week. We have Pink Floyd.
[1:38:00]Again? That's a really, that's a really good joke, Rob. Name a Pink Floyd song. The wall? Not on this album. Matt, name a Pink Floyd song. I don't go, I'm trying to figure out which album we're talking about. Mother? Okay, I'll give you a hint. I'll give you a hint. They'll try to break my balls. No, not on this album. I'll give you a hint. This title of this album makes me think Pink Floyd was kind of high When they made this album. It's called The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Speaking of Casino, Dawn. I don't know, guys. I can listen to another Pink Floyd now. This is the first one too. Though it's like they're weird LSD before it. This podcast sucks nuts. Rob earlier we had that call about the bills versus the Vikings. And we it's not always the quarterbacks that are the big bus.
[1:39:00]What about these Vikings? Demetrius Underwood. Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me, man. Troy Williams Stepson. Big boss. Wow. I would say, by the way, I'm just going to go with Demetrius Hasuge Wood. And what was the next one? Well, Troy Williams Stepson is what I would say. Just Troy Williamson. Troy Williamson is a great port name. Well, I think the last one, the biggest bus of them all is going to be Traverse Jackson. Wow. Oh, come on. I don't think he counts as a bus, right? He had a decent career. The RIP, man. Yes, he RIP'd it. He did. We're ending our comedy podcast the way we started. I didn't know that either happened. You guys brought them on? Yeah, I got a billet now. I didn't know. Russell, when I think of a football bust, I think of Fredia Doodoo. What? Probably soccer. [100:00] Whatever the world calls it football. [100:01] That was a big bus. [100:07] Fredia Doodoo, big bus 18. [100:09] Busy, busy, bus. [100:12] Oh, my God. [100:16] That would be one where you just had the DVD, No Sleeve.
