[02:35]i'm doing a podcast with three of my friends never gonna end man i spend hours a week with three of the guys we talk about albums and errands penis size do you have a group like this on which you can rely i do and it is three of these guys yeah it's so sad to think that i will die last i'll go to their

[03:07]funerals and i'll think of the past but i'll finally get to do what i think is best i'll get to record a four-hour podcast that's amazing when you want to hear about i was thinking about that today of all time oh i i'll live you guys but you're just too it's gonna be a bummer but the podcast will get to start

[03:32]earlier and earlier and it'll go longer and longer and finally be more of what i want finally i'll have a voice i've got the perfect man i will say i do edit the podcast as well so not only do we spend two and a half hours together here i also spend another upwards of four to five hours uh listening to you and it's like i'm there for a second time it's like we're hanging out for a while yeah but that's not like hanging out with you guys that's just like something i'm slogging through to get to talk about aaron's penis or whatever we're going to talk about you know

[04:02]i did not send you a list i was going to send you a list and i was working on a list for the best acapella songs because you know we've that mercedes-benz song but all the acapella songs out there are like pentonics or whatever where like people are making i didn't want i didn't want like the college like the limestones acapella i wanted like just straight raw vocals like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we heard with tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we're going to tracy chapman a few weeks ago like we're going to hear today with janice joplin and so i was looking for these songs the one song that kept popping up on all the lists and it reminded me of

[04:34]uh i believe you've probably done one other song that was acapella because the song that keeps coming up on the list is don't worry be happy and it made me think of your famous song don't worry eat shit or whatever that wow if you could pull up don't worry eat shit that would be great oh do i have that somewhere i'm gonna find it i'm gonna put it in right here because it was the i can't remember what because we didn't do a by mcferrin album we just like covered it we just

[05:01]you did it we just did a fun song about don't worry eat shit yeah it turned into don't worry eat shit and i can't remember what album intro that was rob i was actually going to uh i was going to text you and remind you this earlier today to hey will you just pull that because i knew i was going to do this little thing but then i realized that would be violating the two hours a week i'm willing to spend on the podcast so i decided not to email you that russell that's no big deal because i no longer check my email my gmail is all like emails

[05:31]from my kids schools remind me hey sign up for jupiter hey sign up for bookworm hey i'm going to send you math over xhl and i'm like just nobody's i'm not going to check any of my kids stuff guess what my kids you're fucking on your own hey sorry for for joe from east st paul neil from lakeville and barry from burnsville see there are other people out there that don't check emails so don't get mad at me listen and i swear to god russell i wrote this joke this afternoon i've got three guys here well two guys here i've got two guys here who wish the song was called

[06:00]me and bobby mcfarran if you're hitching a ride and wearing a red bandana don't worry eat shit yes so russell we were i don't know what sadder russell is that i didn't pull up that song or the fact that we both had the same joke in mind for this because the name bobby brings this up oh boy it's been too long since bobby jackson i guess all right i've got air i've got matt minneapolis matt how are you doing today i'm just doing great

[06:30]rob thanks for having me oh my gosh he did the research i've got russell in minneapolis russell how are you doing today rob the beck did it better bank account bank bank account is just another word for nothing left to lose nothing that's all you've paid me but it must be good enough for matt and rosie mcgee well i i do pay rosie a little bit i mean i could see that i mean he laughs at all my jokes it's a paper it's a paper ha okay he gets two cents per ha lately he has not been making as much money i will say that listen let's get right to our voicemail

[07:01]aaron's gonna shit himself when he realizes he missed this voicemail this is a bext by the way upstairs neighbor looking for last minute trip ideas for a thanksgiving should we visit my sister and her family in new york wow so two things about this voicemail right now number one notice that she's now the upstairs neighbor russell how are things going she describes herself now as the upstairs neighbor seems like things has the tone has your tone not

[07:34]improved enough what's going on russell uh i think my tone's been pretty good the last few weeks and russell she's saying i told you quit fucking texting people sorry about that so sorry so but if you guys do visit wait a minute wait a minute what you yelled at her is i told you to quit fucking texting people i love that idea the idea that russell's like you're always texting people god damn that pisses me off i'm trying to watch the i'm trying to watch the wolves game and you're busy texting oh let me guess does she have her

[08:03]phone on not silent mode so if you guys if you guys visit uh her sister rob how close is that to you i know you love i don't know i you're not like in you're not in manhattan or anything so is it like a train ride to come visit you and i want to be clear i'm in manhattan it says so on the subway i would say we're pretty close yeah russell if you came out to see her sister for thanksgiving you would come visit her and she would be like oh i'm in manhattan i'm in manhattan i'm seeing me now russell why are you not why if she wants to come to new york why is this not

[08:30]happening it seems like a win-win-win couple okay first of all i win because i get to see you you win because you get to hang out with my kids can i can i talk okay and my wife wins can i talk can i talk go ahead oh you gotta visit because we're gonna wife swap russell that's why she wins why don't you deal with that so we can move this along but i don't want you swapping with his wife well okay get out of here first of all it's not his wife sick rabbit okay well i know but that's okay get out of here okay she's never actually heard me talk about

[09:01]the wife shop before i was hoping that she i can swap with matt's wife okay uh russell oh oh there's a couple reasons so uh the upstairs roommate and i we were talking maybe like we'll try to do a trip um when you don't have kids sometimes there are opportunities where you're like hey you know maybe we don't have to stay here for thanksgiving maybe we can go do a trip over thanksgiving right yeah with her sister hang out with her family oh wow coming up with ideas and so she threw

[09:31]out new york and there there's a few things one new york i would love to go to when i can see a mets game to cross off their new field off my list so yeah part of my going to new york i want to go when it's baseball season one okay two that's not a good excuse going to new york like thanksgiving when people are all going for the parade and stuff that seems like a nightmare to me like i i'm not a guy who wants to go to times square on new year's eve or for the thanksgiving parade like i know

[10:01]that's what you do but that doesn't appeal that that doesn't sound like a fun relaxing time to me that sounds like a stressful time what do you guys think do you have to or do you have to go to that parade if you go to new york it's true we have to they they line us up i think and they do if you were a tourist person like me matt oh i if i was going for thanksgiving i would not think of that that would be that would be the last thing i would think of doing is going to new york to the macy's i think i think you're i think you're over two so far russell that's just my

[10:30]opinion though just so you know if i am looking to the right it's not baseball tonight it's timberwolves basketball final two minutes sad that's pathetic if we're below timberwolves basketball on your list of to-dos i feel like aaron at the 85 year old's birthday party hey listen russell what if i told you they blow up the balloons the night before the parade you can go walk through central park and see them huh what if you could split the difference you get to see the balloons you do the tourist thing and guess what it's still crowded as well as fuck okay so you could get that true new york feeling of that you're just a cattle going through

[11:00]a meat market and you get to see some big ass balloons of characters that you would have no idea who they are russell i'm going to read to you the macy day's balloons okay do you i'm going to ask you how many of these characters you know are you ready for this how many characters are you going to list okay macy day balloon 20 i'm going to list five characters and let's see how many how many out of five you think you're going to know well if you're cherry picking the ones you think i'm not going to know that i probably yes a hundred percent i'm going to cherry pick the ones you don't well okay giant balloons beagle scout snoopy do you know who snoopy is

[11:30]yeah he's on he's on the the show where they got the music with the piano the vince guaraldi okay of course he's in the comic strip i have the album which totally makes sense why it's named peanuts that makes sense to me it's charlie brown it's a dog it's a bunch of friends why not call it peanuts sure no problem bluey russell what is bluey i got no idea buzz oh yeah that's toy story okay diary of a wimpy kid i'm aware of it i would never know what the if i saw it i wouldn't know it but i i've heard of the

[12:01]books this one i do you know this one mad gabby and pandy paws no all right we don't know i have no idea okay russell here's one goku i know no idea all right that is an anime type thing mario who is mario well that's gonna be super mario that's well well it doesn't say super mario just says mario so the balloon is like this mario nintendo so that's gonna be super mario wouldn't that be a bummer if you go to the parade you're expected to see super mario and it's just the short mario who's about to die before he eats the mushroom god that would be a bummer just short fat just regular hockey player guy the most boring character in the nintendo

[12:34]spectrum it's like the it's like it's like the elvis like the late life version of elvis mario like where he's yeah he's like frantically trying to flush like a sandwich down the toilet i used to throw fireballs when i was younger i swear to christ i could fly around with my raccoon tail it's like his mustache is graying and everything oh my god okay how about this uh uh pikachu and eevee i i heard of what pikachu sounds like uh the card

[13:02]game that matt's kids play nice job yeah okay but again i wouldn't i would i would never know like if you pointed at it i wouldn't know that it's a pikachu how about stewart uh i got nothing if you probably explain it and i'll know what it is it's a minion it's one of the minions oh then no no no and then how about this one russell pillsbury doughboy oh you know that's that's from the uh you know that's from the uh the room the ghostbusters and i gotta tell you that's the stay puff oh is it yeah that's the

[13:30]stay puff marshmallow man oh those were the those were the giant balloons there is a feature balloon and one of them is called derpy tiger that makes me very uncomfortable that there's a balloon called derpy tiger but that's k-pop demon hunters so that's that's why is that what it is oh see well look right if you read three more words past it yeah couldn't do it didn't have time man i was too busy thinking of a sentence but k-pop i have not seen k-pop demon hunters that one has missed me of course i've heard about it teaching in middle school but man how many times have you seen k-pop not seen it at all my kids probably just thousands of times you just missed it well listen guys that

[14:05]is enough of the voice so russell hold on no no i think russell i think you're over two on oh i've got a third reason matt okay but the third reason so what if you were to like go see your upstairs roommate sister you were going and presumably you would hang out with them on thanksgiving because then you then you'd have to find some time to go see rob too you gotta let you gotta let me finish so man okay my my impression and i could be wrong about this yeah is that the upstairs

[14:31]roommate sister's family probably doesn't do thanksgiving like just the four of them i bet they do it with other friends like extended friends like a group of 10 to 12 and me adding maybe some foreigners and me adding myself into someone else's friend group on thanksgiving i'm not saying i can't handle it and wouldn't be fine i'm saying that doesn't sound fun to me and so that did you did you ask the family maybe they're sick of doing the friends thing and this is like the greatest i feel like i know the upstairs roommate sister's family well enough

[15:03]to know that they i bet they're because they're very social people and i'm not saying there's anything wrong with it i'm just saying if i'm on the outside of it that doesn't sound like what i would be excited for for thanksgiving uh russell i i think but russell think about this what if that family could promise you that it's just you coming out and you're not going to be able to do it for them and you're not going to be able to do it for them and you're not going to be able to do it for them and you're not going to be able to do it for them and you're not going to be able to do it for them and you're not going to be able to do it for them and you're not going to be able to do it for them we're just going to have a good thanksgiving and we're going to legally gamble on some sports okay we're going to okay have you let me ask you this russell have you ever slept in a child's bed

[15:33]for a couple days in the great city of new york you know what i mean does that does that the other thing the other thing that i would say is and i think matt mike i don't see what matt thinks of this in my mind if i were to go visit the upstairs roommates sister's family yep i'm a hotel guy one thousand oh my god i i don't know what to say about that i don't know what to say i'm i'm i want to go see the city i want i want to go do the fun things in the city i don't want to sit in an apartment matt what do you think of that i'm i'd be with you there only because

[16:02]if you're going to go for three or four days and it is over a holiday weekend you're going to want some russell time right yeah you're not going to get that at the uh the in-laws house and i do think it would be a bummer if you were coming out to the fridge late at night in the apartment and you saw the sister's husband laying on the couch jacking off you know what i mean like that would be that would be a bummer because that's what you do in apartments who would be who would be more embarrassed it's time for rolling maybe one of them wouldn't be embarrassed maybe they'd be making that's what

[16:32]i'm asking yeah uh rolling going matt how is it rolling going with you okay should we text aaron not on my new weight bench come on it's the new new weight oh my god even since the weight bench he puts chalk on his hand before he had to get a good grip um you'll hear me coughing every once in a while throughout the episode i'm not going to cut them out and rob don't doesn't they don't need to be cut out don't worry about i think they do

[17:00]people really don't like that but okay it just it allows people to let them know that i'm still here so it's good um i have been unbelievably sick you're recovering now believably sick so i got off of a plane last thursday we're recording on a friday last thursday i got off a plane i felt like i had just the worst vertigo i've never had vertigo anything like that i could yeah like i probably shouldn't have driven home from the airport kind of a thing but i didn't want to text my wife that because if i did get an accident i didn't want to have evidence saying you know

[17:30]i should be driving right now i've never put you in a good move you know what i mean so i didn't want to do that but i made it home and then it just i was down for the count for friday saturday sunday monday kind of coming out of a tuesday wednesday i was finally fine thursday was still coughing a little bit but i had i was just quarantined in the basement yeah so all i did literally was just lay on a pull-out couch and watch my sneaky sorry and watch and watch tv to the point of just being so sick of tv now like one day

[18:05]one day that was like there's this new that sounds awesome i mean that's it it does sound awesome right it's awesome for a day and a half or two days it's not awesome for four days yeah can you breathe into a cup go to the post office send that cup to me okay being quarantined for my family and watching tv for four days i did this sounds awesome i would come visit russell for thanksgiving to do something like this you know i again i i think and i was

[18:31]this is going to be one of my questions i think 18 to 36 hours is like the perfect window of being sick but then you know i'm like i missed a great weekend in minnesota it was like 50 degrees out stuff like that missed a great weekend missed a bunch of kids stuff and no it's not fun to miss kids stuff when you said you were sick and you're not a guy who just says he's sick all the time when you said you were sick i did say to myself oh i do need to go get my flu shot if mad is saying that it's this bad because it's one of those things where i always joke that oh i'd love to be sick i'd love to be away from my family oh i don't like talking to my family oh my family doesn't

[19:02]seem to like me oh i wear noise canceling headphones 90 of the time around my family i think it signals a deeper dysfunction but in truth when i'm sick i'm so miserable and i'm so thankful for being healthy yeah that it just is it's it's totally plus i get stressed when i have to plan stuff at work being sick as a teacher is the worst no so like i had i had plans to go with uh joe from east st paul and darren uh the pledge of principle i had plans to go with them to a concert on friday we're gonna see black hawk yeah so i miss black i must see i

[19:34]must hang and let me tell you to try to track down joe from east st paul and actually like hang out with him for a night it's virtually virtually impossible i mean that guy is so locked down over there in east st paul that you know to to miss a night of hanging out with joe that was bad so that that was the big bummer the second i was just gonna say like it was so bad that i watched a documentary on eddie murphy which was great i heard that was good somebody said

[20:00]that was very very good yeah very very good um he's a funny guy he's a good guy i don't know he's got like 10 kids though and been married three times it's kind of funny oh but you know of course you know and so but i watched this documentary then i'm like oh well i might as well watch uh beverly hills cop because oh it's kind of you know let's talk about that and then watch all four beverly hills i was just like what a fucking waste of time you did the marathon there are four beverly hills cops yep and uh and so then did that and then like i got through

[20:33]severance i didn't think i'd ever get through severance but i got through severance what'd you think about matt russell have you seen season two of severance i might be confusing with a different show what show is that i want to get what's the guy adam scott and he's got an innie and an outing he's at work upstairs yeah which is that show russell russell you were thinking of justified weren't you you were thinking of where the marshall is is chasing after walter goggins and he's got a bazooka in the first season i know exactly what it is there's also a zombie apocalypse novel called severance by the author ling ma

[21:04]yeah russell now let me ask you this russell were you thinking of the zombie apocalypse novel by ling ma i think aaron just ruined my list i was gonna hope you were gonna say you know i felt like i had to set you up for it it's actually quite quite a good book well we hope so russell or we also read it so can you imagine reading a bad post-apocalyptic zombie book like the zombies right why would you

[21:31]finish yes yeah it's just not they're not doing much so so it long story short it's really i mean after about three days it's it's no fun it just it starts to be the pits and stuff like that so you know when you know when you're you know shit you know when you're really sick is when you jerk it it doesn't even feel that good you know what i mean you're just kind of god that was not as fun as i thought it was going to be just kind of roll over go to sleep really that was a waste of energy yeah you're like oh i'm so tired now you're looking for like the one

[22:02]thing that'll that'll turn your day around like just even if you have like a a brief 30 seconds of peace yeah and they can't even have that huh you're so sick you fall asleep right away your kids come down to see the masturbatory device hooked to the coffee table by the couch you're like you're like it was my michael jordan flu game i had to get i had for three days for three days eight i ate one apple that's all i ate scotty pippen did help me off the couch so like on on saturday night in the middle of the night i was

[22:32]like in the fits of hot cold sweats all that stuff and i i went to amazon i'm like what can i get some oj in the morning can somebody deliver something kind of yes but to get to the max or to get to the free delivery yep i needed i just started adding things so i ended up ordering like a 24 device a jacket 24 case of uh gatorade yep that's what you need too man you get that you get in the yellow four gallons of no i got some of the ice the ice zeros so it was like as a test

[23:02]don't buy the yellow and then i got but then i got i got four gallons of oj and they showed up the next morning and i'm like oh god four gallons of oj show this but i ended up being sick for so long that they're all gone all the gatorade's gone all the oj is gone i'm finally finally getting it it was it was unbelievably bad so that reminds me when i watched all the i got sick once i watched all the naked gun movies in a row and to me matt that was so much oj you know what i mean like it

[23:34]was just too much it was too much yeah too much so get your flu shot if you're one if you're not a flu shot person whatever but get your flu shot i i usually get at work and missed it i don't know if i then kind of forgot about it and it's been no good so and we got it we actually rosie can we go right to you for wrong going yeah because i gotta hear what the fuck are you doing at 85 year old's birthday party well all right i mean i why are you not

[24:01]and why are you not showing up on time to our i know to hang out with your friends because of an 85 year old this birthday party this person's birthday is so old that turning 69 could drive a car for this person that's how old it is turning 69 is 16 years old all right yeah our neighbor jan invited us over for dessert well wendy invited us over for jan's birthday for dessert and it was supposed to be at 7 30 and i thought we'd be there at 7 30 we'd leave at 8 and it's just right next it's literally next door i thought we'd be there he said they didn't they didn't start until 7 40 because wendy fosters dogs and she had to take the

[24:35]dog out and then we got there and then i was it just it all got kind of got a little behind so i apologize i thought tonight was the night i was going to be on early for you guys and i didn't make it happen that reminds me of that ad rosie where they used to say fosters dogs australian for crazy you know what i mean because there's something about like that person you know he's like hey i foster tons of dogs you're like oh yeah i bet yeah no it's true yeah she was like you said you shouldn't bet this one don't pay this one because yeah you're like me

[25:02]hey i think thanks for bringing me and my kid over for a birthday party oh what's about this dog oh i can't pet it oh that's great so i don't know there's not i mean it was it was nice though it's like the the ladies in my neighborhood take care of each other and it was nice of them to invite us and they had a nice fruit tart with some ice cream but i am i'm sorry to miss the beginning of the the uh podcast my big question though here's what like all i've been thinking about all week is like i you guys i have never noticed rob to be so keyed up on anything other than

[25:32]getting the podcast ready before thanksgiving listeners out there this man has been so focused on making sure we get some some stuff done to be ready for thanksgiving rob what are you doing for thanksgiving that you will be unavailable to record for the next 16 days absolutely nothing okay thanksgiving is a break as a teacher thanksgiving is a break where i have always done and will always do absolutely nothing there's nothing going on but i fear

[26:00]that you guys will be busy you know with family or maybe traveling to your sister's place in new york or whatever and i just worry that the podcast isn't going to happen and i'm like oh maybe or here's the other side of it maybe thanksgiving weekend we can hit a couple up you know what i mean we hit one on a tuesday night we hit one on a tuesday night we hit one on a saturday night all of a sudden we're four weeks ahead like a saturday afternoon because you know i've been thinking more and more guys about our retreat idea i think at the end of the summer we should take and here's what i'm thinking and you tell me what i think mushrooms

[26:32]afford erin god damn that's a good idea god damn now let me ask you did did uh estrid or whatever his name was i have does she have mushrooms tonight honestly she might like i don't think so but it's possible i think they smoke weed sometimes but then not around us because we have a kid right so like fostering dogs and getting stoned what a combination uh what was i talking about oh so i do the retreat yeah so we do a retreat four days we record three episodes a day oh wow well that's

[27:03]12 episodes we can just have episodes banked we can just chill for a little bit what do you think about that idea man where would we go i'm thinking we'd go to like i think oh my god the wolves just pissed away up this is embarrassing god the easiest thing is just don't give away the data that we're recording this you don't never know the exact date when we're doing our retreat easiest thing is to fly erin out when you're here because rosie and i can just or uh russ and i can

[27:32]just drive up to your cabin wow let's do it but the cabin see here's the summer cabin i'm not gonna get a lot of work done up there okay that's you're you're talking to summer rob up there we need to go somewhere where it's like a lockdown work situation like we need to go to a farm in the middle of north dakota you know i mean like we're out there next to like the nuclear missile silos it's just us out there recording episodes after episodes and this we go mad after a while that's what i'm thinking i mean coming to my cabin because nobody's out there monday

[28:01]yes thursday i do want to get to mass cabin i mean i have any of your cabins i would i would wait till you guys see my new boat too i cannot wait about it but mother fucker sarah sarah's cousin goes well at least you got a good looking boat because when sarah divorces you for buying the boat i mean you have some somehow you're gonna have to pick up roll around we gotta find a new chick because you're not gonna get it with your good looks so at least that boat will pick up some new chicks i said yep damn right it's a good thing it might be just getting up to my cabin somehow and russell it's cheap cheap miles from delta to get up there

[28:34]yeah russell would fly so yeah oh fuck yeah russell i went i love it yeah all right rosie keep going that's it that's it that's what's rolling going for me who's next russell's next russell how's it rolling going with you rolling going speaking of getting together for a podcast the other week i actually went to a live podcast oh wow so i wow i i figured we could try to make that it's so strange that a podcast could get their act together to put on a live show russell how did

[29:01]it seem did it seem complicated was like were there a lot of people doing stuff or was it kind of like actually fun and like pretty cool they uh they're i thought it was maybe a a place it would be great for us to host one there rob maybe you've heard of it it's called first av wow uptown that's where i want to be i mean that's not out of town but beck did it better on one of the stars outside because we painted over beck star oh my god that's such a great idea yeah we didn't maybe we didn't think big enough was it was it a packed house we're going to tell

[29:32]us about it it was a packed house so we went and saw the zach low podcast for people that don't know zach lou he's one of the ringer espn kind of basketball guys right and he's got a pretty good podcast and so upstairs roommate listens to his podcast you know his two or three episodes a week that's one of her like six basketball podcasts she listens to daily sick sicko and so we saw he was coming it's the first time he's ever done a live show and he picked minnesota that was his first one his first live one he thought it would be a cool atmosphere to come for because the wolves

[30:03]been good until tonight so he was like okay i'll come here and so the tickets went on sale for it upstairs roommate bought them they sold out in like five minutes wow sold out show so he gets a first stab and matt you go to first stab way more than i do yeah where should a guy sit when he goes in for a for a live podcast i'm guessing if it's set up they got the chairs set up so they got the main floor but then they've got the sides that probably

[30:30]have like rows of four to six on the sides before they're going up to the top but if i was you i'd go to the top beyond the rail so you can look down and see everything matt we went to the top over to the side on the very far end the side speaker so i was on the side overlooking in the front row so you had the rail so you could you could look over and see no one in front of us no one get in your way or anything you're not that's a great place to see anything yep so it's a good podcast but i was curious what you're thinking about this so we get there and we go sit on the

[31:00]end like we sit on the very end why not like no one wants to sit in the middle of the row we sit on the end and so later in the night you see some of the ushers are coming around and down on the floor it's it's jam-packed and the ushers are asking some of the people to move in towards the middle and some of them move some of them don't so one of the ushers came up to us and we're sitting on the on the very far end russell can i just say this in the middle there was hold on russell yeah usher asked me to move you know what i'd say yeah well i said no i'd say watch this so so they came there

[31:35]was one chair in the middle of our like the middle of her row and they wanted us to move in because of one chair and i kind of looked at him like no i don't think so i i i said i'm not doing the move like we got here early we said on the end i'm not moving what do you guys think of that is that a bullshit move on my part no no that's fine russell say i you could just say i picked this spot yeah you know i wanted this spot specifically and you could even like you know play it up a little bit

[32:02]like i need the end of the aisle and this is the comfort spot and i'm sitting here so russell did you think it was wrong or do you just not like being told what to do because you're not going to do it because i had a bit of an incident the other day with a public security person here on rosalind island and i realized i have an issue with being told what to do what do you think yeah we gotta ask you about public security person or a cop what's a security person it's hold on hold on save this for his rolling going let's let russell that's gotta be so anyways we stayed there we

[32:31]stayed on the end because i didn't want to move i didn't really actually say no i wouldn't move i just i kind of acted confused like i why would we have to move it like i just kind of looked left us alone but my guess is my guess is yeah and i've done this for wrestling events in the past yeah and it was like a two-time thing and i wish we could have done it for so much more but my guess is it was probably filmed too it was live and filmed it was and so they wanted they wanted it to look uh filled in if you will they don't have gaps so you know like for a couple

[33:01]times at wrestling events we were seat fillers so we would sit off the camera but if people would go to the bathroom or something they'd say go go sit there quick go sit there quick and it was the greatest gig in the world to be a seat filler at a wrestling event that's fun that so they need seat fillers they don't need the people that are there to do it they need to they need to hire some seat fillers that's what they needed well tonight i'm really a seat filler i'm just holding some time as a fourth host but really we need to get to rob rob what did you do to that police officer well okay so why don't you text us let's rewind this yeah you texted us something right i had a

[33:35]therapist chat gbt to work through my emotions don't want to get into that too sensitive but i'll just say this every morning i run my dog in the park the dog has to run the dog has too much energy murphy one morning the police of roosevelt island known as public safety come by and over the wait a minute have they been to an academy no no public safety is definitely not a cop but they have a cop car and they can write tickets just like a policeman so is it paid for like by the

[34:03]roosevelt island hoa yes the operating what are we with tasers or billy clubs what do we got we're working with maybe tasers at most okay all right i mean you don't want to get tased you don't want to get and you can imagine being a being a citizen here on the island you know you you want cars to not drive fast but you also want to leave you alone let me let me set the stage we get a text at 7 48 a.m to the four person from rob okay i don't like this i'm going to need some advice

[34:32]from matt on being stoic yeah oh yeah yeah matt asked what is going on in the significant big picture it'll pass doesn't matter he's giving some advice and rob says i should have said that this morning before arguing with that cop this morning aaron yes did you get arrested nope but i may need to change my morning routine for a bit did you get tased no but i was told i was disrespectful i'll tell you guys on the pod okay so here's what happens i every morning i go out and run my dog there's another dog that

[35:05]comes out and the woman's very nice and the dog's just run run run and and the thing is is this where you let the dog shit in the place where it's not supposed to be used in the bathroom too well no this is a different dog in a different place this is the big park and so basically like they kind of let us do it early in the morning and then you know there's because the dog park there is like tiny it's like literally the size of my apartment my dog could not run the dog park nobody could so we do it and the dogs are fine it's just us two well this morning the public

[35:33]security comes by and over the speaker on the car it goes leash those dogs and i just and i couldn't help myself i really don't like being told what to do i really it's a strong thing and chad gbt and i realized it might go back to my childhood okay you'll never guess who in my family but it could be anybody uh and i went like this to the i gave them this motion i gave them this motion now describe this motion i can't tell if you're doing that

[36:04]give it a wave like moving along you know keep it going i'm giving them the move it along wave as i'm putting the leash on my dog because i'm grouchy because now now listen the dog has since been put in a doggy daycare so it gets tired but at this point the dog was now in the crate for the rest of the day so i had to make sure the dog was tired i look up this guy is getting out of his fucking car and he is walking down to the park and now he had way less to do

[36:31]than you that day rob like you don't understand he had nothing better to do i am livid i am seeing red and i can tell that my i'm just like and he said that wasn't very respectful making that motion is not respectful and i said i don't care yeah yeah and he goes well it's not very respectful what he did and i go oh yeah watch this and when i was three feet away from him i gave him the same

[37:02]hand motion okay and he goes well maybe next time i'll just write you a ticket and i go yeah why don't you i didn't have a good comeback for that one i wish i had a better comeback in retrospect okay but then i realized oh he's gonna come by now every morning when i'm doing this one essential thing i have to do so from then on i started having to get up 15 minutes earlier and taking the dog guys i'm getting 5 000 steps by the time i get dressed in the morning i am getting 5 000

[37:31]steps in my sweats i'm going all the way around the island with this goddamn dog trying to make do you know what a dog off the leash ticket is i looked it up it's 150 bucks i'm giving rob the wave off motion we all know money's nothing to rob i'm giving i would i would i would i would take the risk of at least one yeah well i'll tell you what i felt the biggest thing was the reason i texted you guys is i felt guilty because i was like this guy is just doing his job and here i am reacting for no reason i felt now after a while i don't feel that guilty anymore fuck that guy

[38:04]how dare he tells me what to do but at the time i felt bad and i was like why can't why do i always react to things why do i and like i said i did some digging and i'm feeling better so matt i was trying to think about being stoic and guess what it still kind of ruined my day like do you do little things still ruin your day or do you work does your stoicism help you through that i am working on it all right same thing somebody cuts you off in traffic yep somebody doesn't use their blinker yeah somebody is you know just going against the rules of just common decency if

[38:34]you're in the grocery store or whatever kind of a thing let their dogs run around without the leash on something like that yeah so those things wife buys a dildo and it's three inches yeah insulting insulting you know stuff stuff like that but that's the whole thing like in the grand scheme it doesn't matter it will not matter it does not matter in the grand scheme of things like and then i'm with you too like if i like speed up then cut somebody off just because they like cheated to get in or something and i got ahead of them like by one car like what what

[39:03]does it really matter does it really matter do i feel good i felt good for that 13 seconds and then afterwards i'm like oh well am i putting my myself in danger here by driving like a maniac you know what i did mad is i had some pen i did some penance for the next week i did the early morning long distance walks i had in my calendar wednesday a week later because i thought maybe the guy works the same shift i was like do not run the dog this day and then starting thursday i went back and guess what the woman's like oh great you're back i've missed you so much and the dogs have missed

[39:31]each other i've been going on their last couple days everything is going great until uh the other day when my daughter dropped her phone on the subway and i was like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm the subway tracks my wife had to wait two hours by there but i don't have time to get into that because right now we have to talk about the album we're on a timer we're on a clock we're on the clock where's the clock who's keeping it russell's got it by the way that led to the dog barking and the neighbors calling the front desk with a noise complaint so let's get into the album we are talking about janice joplin pearl okay janice joplin born night uh january 19th 1943 janice

[46:01]mouth agape listening to the singing oh baby oh intense right what do you do it's crazy crazy crazy singing so then she starts her new backup band and she she flies into woodstock okay at this point she's injecting about 200 of heroin a day which nowadays would be 1200 with the heroin every day she's spending this much on heroin she then has a terrible performance and realizes i need to get a band who can play with me not

[46:31]drown me out but be tight enough to like that i can control and i want this sound i know exactly what i want and so she performs she uh gets this band together the full tilt boogie band okay they got cleaner arrangements more blues more soul and then they finished they record the album pretty much and all of a sudden october 4th 1970 russell uh janice joplin passed away of a heroin overdose and uh the album is not released until january the next year this cements janice

[47:04]joplin's pearl is probably the greatest posthumous album over the bay once yeah yeah over dock of the bay by otis redding over jimmy hendrix the cry which i had never realized i've never even heard of that album sounds terrible i wouldn't put this over dock of the bay i don't want to give my takeaway though i love this album but i wouldn't put it over dock of the bay this is i listen to i mean i'm just going to say it a million times this episode the voice yeah this song i love by

[47:31]the way the bass goes with the voice and you can hear the whole way the bass goes with the voice the band is so good the other type god i love this song i believe i told you guys i thought the band was banging the other night when i was listening to this on vinyl i have this one in my collection oh wow what a great album cover it is a great album cover did you pick that up this week russell or did you know i've had this one for a while i got this one this song's about how men and she sees men treating women in relationships telling them to move over guys how do you show

[48:02]love to your partner you know i mean like how do you show that like hey i know you know for me you know what i'm doing i'm doing her dishes after i've already done all the dishes and i'm not complaining she loves my wife loves acts of service okay what's your what's what are you doing for your wives what's her what's her love language taking them to the timberwolves podcast oh my god i would never i went picked up the kids today from school so she could take a nap wow that's a big one that's true love that's major and what

[48:32]what are you doing oh aaron you're a piece of shit wow can't even think of anything oh now he's making that motion with his hands aaron don't do that that's gross i mean i made her some eggs for lunch yesterday yeah lunch yeah yesterday you made some eggs what what's what's what does she say back to that what'd you put in those devil days oh something about the mutombo quote she says if you want to sex mutombo you gotta make me some lunch that's right yeah that's true

[49:02]uh we went on a date last night a bit but i was gonna maybe save that for next week's wrong doing but yeah you know you try to try to plan some day you know what i actually we went on a date and i tried so hard not to take her to a diet bar and then we ended up with the diet bar but i did my best yeah well what can you do some things are just meant to be you know what i mean uh next up we've got cry baby this is the start listen to this god damn

[49:32]i i knew janice joplin was a good singer i guess i didn't realize that she was this good like when you read this stuff they're saying this is one of the greatest female vocalists and i'm not saying female singer i'm saying vocalist like the voice as an instrument like stops time with what's happening yeah yeah it's like her or you know what are the other who else in that conversation here and aretha who else winnie houston mariah houston yeah mariah aretha

[50:02]i mean i i would put janice joplin up you know it's a different it's a whole different type but i can't think of another female like rock vocalist that's even close i do i don't i don't want to take away from ladies night but i do want to hear the solomon burke version of listen can we do it just real quick the what solomon burke can we hear him too solomon burke yeah i think i had his skis for a while solomon burke and that hey that's a joke to all my ski heads out there okay i just realized

[50:31]i maybe made another uh rich guy's joke so one of the also one of the things about this list is that soul music gets a little bit of uh doesn't he do cry baby or not oh it's cry to me uh i'm wrong let it go um yeah i mean one of the fun things about this list is like we don't hear these songs because there are many of them are soul tunes that have been done other places but they're not on albums that get lifted up as albums so this is a hundred percent fun one to listen to uh woman

[51:01]lonely i i was thinking about today i don't think i could feel lonely right now i don't know what it would take for me to feel lonely i suppose it's but i'm just gonna happen when my kid moves out in two years but i'll tell you what sometimes i'm like i'm not gonna feel lonely that's an amazing thought i mean that's really like rob that really means your life is good actually no i think it means everybody could just get a hold of me whenever they want like i'm on

[51:30]like three different text chains you know what i mean like i'm surrounded by people all the time i always have plans i think if that's that yeah that drops off somebody's a major portion of your life let's just say i don't want to see your family some other major let's say this podcast yeah right like yeah there's there's a big hole right and it's not like you can just text us you have to text the big group you can't just text a small group like you do with us some of that's weird shit text us you know because it's too weird for the big group so yeah i mean because

[52:00]the thing is my wife plans everything for me so it's like god if my wife was out like having sex with strangers and i had to watch that that would be lonely you know what i mean if you just had to watch it and like film it put it out on only fans blur out her face maybe his face all right half moon half moon uh getting a lot of i was getting a lot of nods there by the way big nods from some of them here you can just listen to this podcast and i'll see you next time

[52:30]this is tight band here the band really is like the whips together yeah see how i'm hearing them now like i don't have this is how i listened to it first time like i cannot hear the piano and the organ like the bass and when i was mulching leaves this afternoon i had an airpods and turned her up loud and i could hear it all that was so right in your brain there right

[53:00]yeah so much better when you can hear like the backup band yes so you have to be able to put some headphones on put something on turn up loud see organ in the piano and everything back do you think we're on a funky decline like there's no funky grooves like this anymore are there like i feel like we're on this everything's very technical everything's very technical so yeah i think bands that yeah i think bands that do this sort of thing um what's like the l michaels affair and

[53:30]there's just not that many and then then it becomes sort of like oddity instead for multiple vocalists but there's not you know yeah i mean but also there's like music's infinite now so there's a lot of bands out there i'm sure we've never heard of yeah plus aaron you're always sending us ai music you're like oh listen to this i like this so much i'm like i don't know by the way that's our new thing aaron likes ai music okay put it on a shirt please uh we're screwed now my girl marjorie taylor green is going to resign from congress she was the last person who i agreed with about anything on the republic

[54:00]inside because she was anti-ai so now we're all now they're going to take over so so what i got of that aaron agreed with yeah yeah i did i did on the ai stuff it's true but put that on a t-shirt for that and put space laser on the back real big uh buried alive in the blues people say this is the most emotional yes ma'am i was just gonna say we should we should say it i mean good for her if she's actually like coming around if there's some other ulterior motive to this she's

[54:30]yeah right ever she's she's good don't be fooled she's a rat off a shrinking ship she sees what candace owns and i know but i'm gonna cut this out but i'm just telling you she sees that the new grift is the anti-right right you know what i mean like they're going the anti-right right is the new grift we to be honest guys we should get in on that grift we could make so much money we could make crazy money all we have to do is say like the most insane things god damn russell what the fuck are you drinking oh a gatorade i thought you were drinking like a carafe of coffee i was like oh my god

[55:00]buried alive in the blues people say this is the most emotional instrumental of all time the band records this musical track that night janice joplin dies of an overdose of heroin whoa they leave this track on the album as a tribute to janice but you can imagine her voice over this listen they're cooking man i know organs are of a time

[55:30]just melting faces this is either an awesome song or you're in a booth answering questions on a game show you know what i mean you're in a soundproof booth you're writing down answers my wife has huge blanks my wife's huge blanks look like pepperonis all right you guys never like those jokes my baby i i didn't even know where to start these songs i started them all at the beginning because every time she comes in you're like wow

[56:00]it's stunning so we've talked about the side side one ends with that instrumental which cooks so you gotta flip it over and come back the side two and then this side two i mean we haven't talked about greatest side twos ever this has got stuff that's on there though right big time big time i mean i i have not been expecting much out of the albums lately

[56:30]to be honest with you this one i put on and i was like oh i love this album i wish i would have listened to this album more when i was younger like that's how i felt about this album i i felt that same way about uh uh what's his name brown night van morrison that van morrison album like i should have been listening to this forever this this for me is definitely going to be higher on the list aaron is there a reason it's in the 250s here is there something that you're is there something about her singing or the band that's that people don't like about her singing no to me what it is no it's the band is great the singing is great there are other

[57:06]albums i mean the other album that i think of with this one is the rod stewart album there are other blue-eyed soul albums that are essentially a white singer doing covers of black soul music and doing it really well but also in terms of where it is on the list um like we i don't know edda james is on here at all um so this is ahead of edda james it's ahead of um other stuff by otis redding and so it is a tough thing is like gotcha it's great music um

[57:34]but where does it sit in history you know i don't know and i don't think i don't think she's doing wrong i think she's you know doing right by the music and it's like it's weird for me it's like one of these things where i gotta like wrestle with myself of like well i'm a white guy who loves black music and if i could ever record an album this is what i would do yeah but um you know i don't know i don't know but there's nothing against the music or the art to me sorry matt go for it i will say i will say just real quick it was 122 and 125 on the list that's what i was i

[58:04]was just looking for that yeah it was 122 on the first 125 yeah 125 i mean it was way sorry man it was way way way up higher like we did do edda james at 191 at last uh okay oh my god i couldn't remember that oh but i was just gonna say i think this is just one of the it's one of the ones from the early 70s late 60s because there were so many of them in the first place and i think it's one of the first two iterations of the list that's just falling because of that it's just

[58:32]kind of going out of favor numbers game ones they got to be that are pushing it pushing it down so bobby me and bobby mcgee of course this is a chris christopherson song this it got to number one making it the first uh or the second posthumous number one single after sitting on the dock of the bay the chris christopherson wrote this song after a studio secretary named bobby mcgee and it's just falling because of that it's just falling because of that but he misheard the last name so it's bobby mcgee like oh what the hell it's mcgee

[59:03]that's too laid down good mcgee uh the chris christopherson tune's great and then she just crushes it like this is up there with like uh aretha taking respect for modus reddick it's yeah you you said it was a christopherson song i was about to say janice made it a janice right yep yep yep and it's i mean it's just this part of the song too i always love the end where she's just kind of scatting away and riffing it's it's it's so fun and it i i just think you can really hear like she's got a great band like

[59:34]that's what you don't realize about this album is that she's this kind of you know she was she was coming in from california and texas and she just was with these kind of psychedelic musicians and all of a sudden she hooks up with real musicians and she can really shine she knows how to do it guys it's just like what a bummer she was like really just guys this is the one time where i'm saying a celebrity dying real bummer you don't mean all-time what if right does she did she live in san francisco aaron

[60:02]i think so because i think big brother in the holding company was from san francisco i mean she had such a short life i don't know but i think and i think she lived in that time when kind of everyone made their way to san francisco eventually can i ask you this big brother in the holding company good name for the minnesota vikings offensive line i think so can we get that started let's start calling them that i think it's are they good no they're holding all the time oh my god okay she recorded it first 1962 at university of texas then 1963 she left just to get away it was an air quotes and

[60:33]because my head was a much different place hitchhiking with her friend chet helms to north beach san francisco oh north beach is great that's where i like to go for a christmas date it's san francisco 1964 met jap joplin met future jefferson airplane guitarists uh yeah i think i i think i remember doing one of the hop on hop off tours and they pointed out where her apartment was in the is the hate aaron or someone over there yeah the hate yeah i used to walk to north beach from work sometimes and go to city lakes bookstore and

[61:01]comstock saloon where russell and i have had a drink were you ever carrying an inflatable kayak during those times or inflatable paddleboard no should i have that yeah i thought you had one in the parking garage you had like get it out to the beach air that that story is in my mind different beach yeah different okay oh excuse me different beach man you hear that different beach there's no actual there's no actual beach in north beach is the thing oh that's that's the funny that's what a poem ironical mercedes-benz this is the story behind this song is so strange

[61:36]patty smith says she started singing this poem in a bar and they all started banging their beer mugs and the co-writer wrote down what she sang there and kept it for years and that's what this comes from then later bobby womack comes out and says oh yeah i took her for a ride in my mercedes-benz and she wrote this song it's so good uh there aren't a lot of we we did one the other day with tracy chapman i don't think

[62:09]that was an acapella like on a studio i was looking for all these songs trying to find a list on studio acapella songs i'm not talking aaron i was telling these guys not not like the the limestones not like a college band but like a real song and there are not a lot of songs like this that are very popular well and especially one that's i i think it's catchy i thought the tracy

[62:34]chapman was catchy this one's slightly not as depressing but it's it's so catchy you have to sing it i think i read that this was the last thing she ever recorded right a hundred percent she recorded this three days before she died this was uh uh this was one take she recorded that just one take she just did it so that's that's my big beef with this album is who decided on the sequencing like once you've read that you know this is the last thing she ever recorded why the hell is this

[63:03]not the last track on the album like it fucking floored me like once i read that and i listened to it i can't i need a moment i can't listen i can't just move on and listen to trust me like i can't just keep going it gets i need a second after i hear that yeah god heroin must be so good it just i mean it just must be it just you know what it's gonna do you just know and everybody's like yeah i mean just i'll say it again the fact that you got to inject yourself with a needle it's so scary so scary pretty scary

[63:33]hey ross trust me if you want to go back if you can pull up a song by back you can pull up the song strange apparition sorry i didn't send it to you earlier but just let it play for about 10 maybe drop it 10 seconds in or so okay you'll notice here is an homage and a little influence lord don't please don't forsake me and my mercedes-benz little influence from janice

[64:06]joplin on archive back wow when it comes to starting a song influenced by janice joplin who did it better beck did it better wow russell finally the connection between janice joplin and beck that we've been waiting for on this list trust me i was just thinking the other day how much i lied as a kid i lied all the time could not i don't trust my kids at all because i just

[64:34]don't i lied like it was like i was drinking water like i didn't even think about it you guys big liars as kids i don't think so because i never i never lie as an adult now like if i fuck up at work i'm like oh yep i fucked up sorry because now they live in new york my apology skills as a midwesterner they're like a superpower i'm like i'm sorry i'm a piece of shit i'm i should be here i'm the worst fucking and everybody's like jesus jesus christ you're pathetic you should like you need help and i'm like in minnesota i'm quite

[65:02]abrasive actually you lie aaron all the time you look like a liar sneaky cheat i don't think so i i mean i probably tried to hide stuff like it you know you got drunk at your brother's little league baseball game no shit no one knew that until he called in and told about it on the podcast yeah oh oops russell russell you i bet you were honest russell i'm sure i did lie about stuff but i don't i don't remember doing a lot of lying my brother my brother he's a liar like he he's a guy like if

[65:33]you would play like like if you play monopoly with him i could easily see him just cheating and it wouldn't even he wouldn't even think twice on it he would still you think like to this day you think he would do it maybe on something he definitely will tell stories of stuff that you know is not true so yes okay that's weird because he told me there was no wife swapping up at cole's resort so now i'm uh yeah jenny i'm talking about white swapping still be curious yeah matt's still here i don't

[66:01]uh uh man you're a liar i say yes more like russell where i probably like didn't tell the truth on some things but i don't know if i wasn't like a i wasn't going around telling everybody like you know my grandpa was a world war ii fire fighter plighter i don't know if i wasn't like a i wasn't going around telling everybody like you know my grandpa was a world war ii fighter plighter i don't know if i wasn't like a i wasn't going around telling everybody like you know my grandpa was a world war ii fighter plighter there was a fucking kid like that in my high school who was just a pathological liar he could not help it to the point where i was bowling so i was in a bowling league in high school but i don't

[66:30]have time to talk about that right now i and i was bowling and i look over and he has bowled a 300 game now he obviously has just typed in strike strike strike strike strike strike strike using the and then he goes hey rob look at this i bowled a 300 game i'm like i i finally i was like how can you do this you just lie constantly oh i actually was out with some buddies the other night we were having a beer at a local bar there's like seven of us and i some of you the guys i know

[67:02]pretty well i mean that's kind of a tease like we're you got any directions for how to get to this bar um it was actually in plymouth off of like 169 or 494 like northern suburbs this is way out of my back that's out there yeah it's your way out there yeah okay i get 55 to get out of that place or should you go i went up man i went up 494 like i'm way out of my company 395 that's almost four to 494 and up you're almost a buffalo out there what were you doing with your

[67:32]life i got a feeling i know who this group of friends were really friends with you know what i mean like i got a feeling these were not rosal's friends you know what i mean so so it's not true guys you want to meet in plymouth no so we go and uh one of the guys is talking and he went to bethel and for those that aren't local bethels local college a lot a little more religious i would say not even a little more just a little more religious no more religious i said that but it's it's the same type of school no they're not even close

[68:04]you know why they don't have sex standing up at bethel why people might think they're dancing you know so any of the one of the guys went to bethland wait did you have sex standing up at st olafram kudos i've never had sex standing up i've always been amazed by that i'm you know what maybe i have yeah because he was behind yeah i guess i was standing up for that i was kind of on a did you like propped up against something yeah what do you call those things

[68:30]in a bathhouse and i don't know no so anyways we're out we're having a few beers and he went to bethland he was saying that and so bethel is famous you can't can't drink can't uh have relations and have a shoe on the door all that stuff so yeah so he was saying him and some friends when they were in college went out drinking and i don't even think they got that drunk but they drank off campus and they came back and they all turned themselves in proactively

[69:01]they all went to the administration and proactively turned themselves in they all got suspended for five days where they could not be on campus at all for five days for proactively turning themselves in listen i'm gonna bleep out a word here yeah but i have to say it yeah and listen toxic masculinity is a real thing you know what i mean like anyone can be a man you can you could you don't even have to have a penis to be a man

[69:30]anybody can be a man men is there's so many different kinds of men but this guy and his friends are real they are some of the biggest i've ever heard of in my entire life okay they they they that is the biggest behavior can you imagine talking have you ever talked to three other guys and they give you a better idea like they say like well no we shouldn't do that i am i hanging out with the wrong people i've never been with a group of guys that we've decided we shouldn't do something it's always been like yeah we should fucking do that for sure russell what do you think of it what did you say to this person

[70:03]i was i was shocked it would it would never dawn on me to like proactively go and say i mean it'd be one thing like if you hit and run someone or something like that but like but like off campus drinking and then and then i was pamela monenbach i killed somebody with my car okay i need to talk to you well i was explaining to these guys that at our school let's say if you got caught drinking because it was a dry campus but you would have to do like an hour of community service you'd have to like go vacuum a dorm like a lobby or you'd have to do some cleaning or something but

[70:34]it was never a legal thing but they got suspended five days where they could not be on campus for reporting themselves drinking for being off campus wow i wonder why they're having trouble now attracting students and why they're you know why they're talking about closing down the school and all that stuff just it's just shocking that's just that's so strange you know what closing it down can i have my cousin uh my cousin's kid who goes to st olaf

[71:00]can you please go and report yourself to somebody at this school tell them you've been drinking off campus i gotta hear what they say i gotta hear what they say that that's so crazy to me and then they had to go off campus so they just they couldn't go to class god that sounds like matt's week god that sounds like the perfect week to me i'd be drinking off campus all the time and they so they yeah they they couldn't be on campus they couldn't be on campus they couldn't be on campus for a week they had to leave college they they could not be there for a week you imagine that call how they had to go home and tell their parents and you know they called their parents right away guys i'm just gonna say it one more time what a bunch of i just cannot oh and i hate

[71:36]to say that i'd never say that word but i cannot think of another word to describe it more perfectly the real question is who's the first person in the group to say you know what guys because someone's got to be the some of those not all four of those want to turn themselves in the guy who's children's pastor now that's the one who turned oh jesus christ yeah no it's true can you imagine you're out drinking and the whole time you're like i'm gonna have to turn myself in but right

[72:02]now i am gonna drink this prairie fire oh boy my pastor's gonna hate hearing about this oh i'm gonna have to tell all the freshman girls from fca about this and maybe they'll console me in my dorm room with the shoe in the door later oh boy he's my youth pastor robert is not gonna be happy about me drinking this stoplight just thinking about my 21st birthday get it while you can listen to this voice i'll just say it one more time it's a great russell you're right the side two that's what it is well the side one is i think

[72:41]an a plus as well but this side two's got the some of the epic ones yeah i would agree i gotta stop the music for what i'm about to say hey russell i'm gonna edit this out i promise but let me ask you this this guy who told the story was his partner hot as fuck i bet i bet that person's partner was so fucking hot i i think so i don't know so but i oh yeah that means it was russell

[73:06]you dog that's a great way to answer that very well could be i have no idea yes russell god you're in a good long-term relationship russell very well could be hey do you think my friend is hot very well could be but i would never look at him anywhere else but into your eyes okay russell russell i changed my mind i'm not editing that out now you're at 103 you got a minute and a half

[73:31]rob i've got 117 on my clock yeah we gotta keep it moving back did it better waiting system listen her voice it's very really well toned planned the plane okay uh uh her uh a short end to her life she got boned i mean hey if anybody got boned i would say it's janice joplin you know what i mean she got screwed over very talented love that smack though love doing heroin or is this a rolling

[74:00]groan okay this should not be a high so high up in the list yeah guess what she can sing but i've never heard more than three of these songs so we actually me knowing three songs on an album at this point in the list i'm pretty proud of that right now i that's pretty good for me i had three of these songs on my win amp uh matt well toned rolling bone or rolling groan okay jj janice joplin i'm kind of torn not in a bad way like i don't know how many times i'll like come back to listen to this yep and i'm saying that

[74:33]because there's just a lot of other stuff out there i think like um i don't know so it's hard for that but when you actually like think about some of the albums we've heard lately like this is a great album yeah this is a great collection as a whole of songs and i think it's a great album so should this be higher on the list yes it should be higher in the list because it is a great album overall but there are still albums i'd down the road that we're going to get to and a lot of

[75:00]them coming up in the next yep 40 50 that i would like to hear more personally so i will say that it's rolling boned and should be higher on the list wow wow russell rolling well-toned rolling boned or rolling groan i i don't even think it's really a question i think this is rolling bone i think this should be top hundred the the the singer is amazing the band is awesome the songs are great the cover is great the back cover guys has got the band all sitting there the organ this this this album is fantastic i think i would

[75:31]put this on again it's it's intense um so maybe it's not for all times like you're probably not throwing this on and like cooking pancakes in the morning or something like that but yeah but i think this album is this is badass this to me should be top hundred i i'm saying rolling bone needs to be way higher on the list i do think this is going to be one because every once in a while people will gauge me about the podcast they really try not to people really try to avoid it but every once in a while they say what's an album you've heard that you has shocked you and i've always said uh van morrison again i've always said willie nelson now and i might be saying janice joplin pearl i

[76:03]mean i just there's just the the the musicality of this album is so high i have to agree rosie what do you think rolling well-toned okay that means it's perfect here on the list rolling groan that means it should not be this high it's lower on the list or was this a rolling bone no sound effect for that can't cannot disagree with matt and russell purely just based on what we've heard up to now this is better as an album than a lot of the stuff we've heard

[76:30]she's a great artist the band is doing great lots of thoughts about maybe other soul albums that could have been on the list but it doesn't matter this is a rolling bone should be higher on the list hey my favorite soul album on the list rubber soul beatles i'll leave this leave this one too you know whether you like the next week album or not maybe people like that album i'm all for that the idea that this album is within one of next week's album is a fucking travesty just wild it is it is probably as big of a back-to-back

[77:04]travesty in the history of this list or next week's album is next week's album is is uh crazy is in between the two albums that it's between pearl and then check your head by the bc it's happening week guess what next episode we can say whatever we want because nobody's ever going to listen to that i wish you were here is four four higher matt you can you can use my trademark line if

[77:33]you want rolling stone get the fuck out of here next episode russell next episode russell is going to tell us how he's going to propose to the upstairs roommate and no one is still going to listen to that episode you know what i mean he promises right now and right here he's going to tell us how that's going to work nobody's going to listen that's how strange this is this next album is now listen unfortunately you guys are incorrect and i hate to say that are you going to give russell a chance to say that or what oh russell yeah he did didn't he what's going on you russell you ranked the album right yeah yeah so it needs to be tough no rob

[78:04]said that if russell said he's gonna oh rob rob said now i'm gonna just told us how he plans to propose no one would listen next week all right guys it's me and then he didn't give russell the chance just in case i'm gonna take her to a podcast and then we're gonna go oh russell god damn that's a great idea go on stage i bet they'd let you oh my god russell you get married on like a bill simmons podcast

[78:30]holy shit speaking of uh live podcasts being there i'm pretty damn sure i did see the replacements guy yep nice replacements guy was there correct aaron yes he was yeah but so here's i i i i've i know him well enough i've seen him enough times to kind of know him but i don't know if he's going to be but he is also i don't know if he's always had this there are a lot of uh white males in the world now that have like the duck dynasty look and he now has the duck dynasty absolutely yes yeah and

[79:01]when someone when someone has the duck dynasty look i can't tell like the the duck dynasty look guys all look the same to me that's fair no he's he's fully in on that on the so i didn't know i i walked right by him and then later you showed a picture of him with zach low and i was like i walked right by him at the at the podcast i was excited about that i was excited about that i was excited that you were both going yeah rob there's a lot of albums coming up that i'll be able to contribute on just so you know i'm man you are contributing all the way you're contributing to my heart disease because i'm not getting enough sleep oh my god now that's aaron that's aaron

[79:33]that's that's not me that's aaron i said start the clock i said unfortunately you guys are incorrect this gets a rolling jadness jop alone sound jump loan i think i've done that too many times what a voice this is one of the singers that you're always going to recognize that's why we're going to go all around right now we're going to try a janice scream i'll go first okay rosie rosie let's hear your janice scream oh couldn't hear it zoom blocked it out i bet it's gonna be good at the recording russell let's hear

[80:02]your janice scream hey uh i'm gonna go rolling jimmy johnson with that part port arthur texas man let's hear your scream sick for a week i can't even come close to okay okay podcast is kind of dying out here a little bit next week okay next week we have the album that russell has been asking about in every record store he goes into i wonder why it's the slits with cuts when you want to hear about

[80:32]that'll be a quick one right oh yeah rob if you're looking for it and i don't know if you want to pull it up i part of me thinks you need to replay the live version but the episode is pretenders your perry song of don't worry eat shit is on the beginning of the wow we have to listen to it we have to listen to it together i gave the the don't worry eat shit parody is one of the greatest hits it's by far one of my favorites i lit in my notes i said i listened to

[81:03]this parody song 10 times you're supposed to tell him this like afterwards so he just slips it in afterwards so we're not wasting another five minutes here this is worth the five minutes this is worth the five minutes this is how good our seo is by the way yeah is that i typed in better than pretenders just the just the podcast name and the episode we are now looking the first thing that comes up with the actual podcast is pod me.com which i believe is well it took it cost premium 99 kr now if you can figure out what kr is money

[81:31]wise you will know what website this is but you don't want hey to listen to us 99 kr not that much so i'm gonna pit lit i happen which is apparently play in this language let's oh oh my god it's not even a real thing they're using us to make money oh my god that's sick okay russell i'm gonna okay back did it better can you just see the pod bean the pretenders yeah but i can't it doesn't search like oh my god okay now i am gonna go to the pod bean hey can i just say this russell if we would

[82:03]have gotten a picture of you i'm just picturing like somebody took a picture of you and replacements guy and it's like uh you and replacements guy at the at the first ave it would be like that uh by the way port arthur texas star uh mark jackson with the menendez brothers in the background you know what i mean that basketball card haven't you guys seen the mark jackson basketball card where the menendez brothers are in the

[82:30]background that would be like if there's russell and then in the background there's replacements guy we're like hey holy shit i know that guy back there to be clear mark jackson is not from port arthur texas he's from new york oh well who were you saying i thought we had steven jackson another podcast so steven jackson okay i was thinking of bumbo i was thinking of bumbo just laugh at that we'll move it along i okay no search episodes pretenders yep russell you were right i should have just gone to that site and

[83:00]god this one's been downloaded a thousand times russell this is slowing you're tired enough rob's fired up it's a two-part period there's no stopping okay his head is throbbing rob's talking he's talking he's a focus if you thought this was a song where rob was going to apologize for making jokes at the end of the

[83:34]show oh wow this is true now as it ever was don't worry i don't think so i don't think it's so like with a needle and thread i mean that's just an example of a joke i might make at the end of the show oh wow i still got it at the end of the show rob tells a 10 minute long joke don't worry russell this is 2023 eat shit end of the show it is a struggle because of rob the episode time doubles don't worry

[84:09]eat shit russell don't eat shit russell russell how are we not the number one podcast in the whole world how are people not coming to see us live we also want to direct our listeners robbie maybe you can just tell them this at the end but the the don't worry eat shit originally came from the george faith george michael faith

[84:33]episode of course and it was at the very end speaking of bathhouses and there was like there was like 20 minutes of angry bobby big angry bobby mcfarren angry bobby mcfarren don't worry eat shit yeah god russell we're so good we're so good we got to re-release that episode yeah thank you very much i appreciate that uh and listen if you think this album should have been pulled up higher on the list which of course would have been lower okay

[85:03]on this uh podcast app because it would have come first now that's an interesting way to think about it if you're on a podcast app you are often scrolling down to get new episodes a lot like this list that would be a rolling bone it should be higher up on the list or if you think this should be higher up on the podcast app coming out later in time that of course would be a rolling groan it should be higher on the list okay well oh oh i'm a huge bobby mcfarren fan i wish this was way lower on the list you piece of shit okay said nobody by the way that's a great uh

[85:33]character to do the angry bobby mcfarren fans right eat shit okay to the minneapolis uh orchestra with bobby mcfarren don't worry those dumb pieces of shit god i hate the orchestra

[86:02]the angry bobby mcfarren fan is so funny to me all right just listen to that song just that's latimer listening to that song before a game yeah fuck yeah get fucked up oh god was that this episode i might like to sing it the note for note but don't worry yeah fucking yeah place at the table what the hell accent is that bobby mcfarren has now eat shit that's what he sounds like in the

[86:33]song i was not doing enough accent uh what do you think aaron rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan and of course we were talking about the song that's what he sounds like in the about bobby mcfarren question mark george michael faith 1987 to 1989 apparently yeah i think it's a monster album i think the hits are massive it was uh such as we talked about an important album at the time um i didn't know this one that well but i think it's kind of important for cultural and music reasons i'm going to give it a rolling well toned uh russell

[87:02]what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan george michael faith i kind of agree with aaron i didn't really know a lot of these songs i knew faith but i didn't really i don't think i knew any of the other songs but i thought a lot of them were pretty catchy there were a handful that were kind of strange that was a kissing fool near the end that was just it seemed way out of line with everything else in the album but don't you turn it back on me i'm gonna say if i if i ever get my new record set up in the in the house set up with some some of those armless chairs or whatever you were talking about aaron if i had faith on

[87:33]vinyl and i just threw that on i was like that would be a pretty cool album to have so i'm gonna say it's rolling well toned i enjoyed it well it'd be really cool because you have that big bob mcfair and fathead that we custom ordered for you but instead of don't worry be happy they're like bobby listen bobby baby baby bobby we love this song you're doing all the parts love it okay reminds me of that billy joel song i heard about from a guy who actually

[88:02]worked in a spice shop do you remember that story from earlier oh and so i love it you're doing all the parts here's the thing don't worry yeah i love it okay and the whole song you know uh it's talking about oh landlords say your rent is late you may have to litigate russell of course being a slumlord is like that sounds like me kind of and but the part where you go don't worry eat shit there's just i feel like it could be a little more euphonious

[88:32]in that part and i know you've yelled at me you get quite angry that says swearing's okay and it's actually but nobody's ever going to write a song called i want your sex and go against the song we got to be clean baby clean that's the new phase that's the new hobby uh man what do you think rolling about telling rolling bone or rolling grown and keep in mind that was a fathead joke that i made earlier i think uh for if for anything else george michael is a titan and deserves to have

[89:01]an album up here so i'm gonna say i i i really like this album i don't know how much i'll listen to it again i don't know how much i'll listen to it again i don't know how much i'll listen to it you know i don't know i think i'd rather go back to some of the early 80s synth if i'm going to listen to anything but as a titan he certainly deserves to be here so i'm going to say rolling well toned unfortunately you guys are once again for the 151st bananas time you are incorrect this russell would you back off i'm really worried about this podcast

[89:33]okay don't worry oh don't worry don't worry yeah you're always telling me not to worry i'm trying to write a song where i do all the parts hey don't be so angry relax relax maybe you were the problem maybe you were the problem of the podcast rob relax meanwhile frankie goes to hollywood is sitting outside of russell's

[90:01]apartment being like wait a minute this guy talked to bob mcfarran okay smoke eats rivets door open smoke pours out right who is it my machine it's oh no it's frankie goes to hollywood and he's listening to the producer of bobby mcfarran's album tell him that don't worry eat shit is bad and bob mcfarran has said he's worried about it

[90:31]and what did you say what would you say russell because they're also roommates by the way he's living with his producer so what would you say to a roommate that's a good idea to say to them relax eat shit frankie goes to hollywood is outside hey hey frankie this is your cousin johnny yeah johnny goes to hollywood i i think i found that sound you've been looking for

[91:06]michael fox is on stage doing this song instead of johnny be good everybody's like maybe at all time high or the all-time low of the podcast i don't know which one yeah i'm so confused it's one or the other he's like listen you guys are don't like this but your parents are gonna kind of like it but not really it's more of an ironic like
