New Order: Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)

[00:00]Weren't you saying, like, isn't that part of some men's turd on? What does that make you, a simp? Or what's the name for those guys? I don't know, Russ. This was on one of our episodes. Yeah, I don't know. Is it Fyndom? Fyndom, there you go. Yeah, it is. You're a real pay piggy and buy me lunch. Listen, I'm just going to say again, you know what? Let's just try it real quick. We're just going to go hashtag Fyndom. Let's just see what comes up right now. I did. This will also not be on the recording. I may have had a Fyndom moment today, Rob. Oh, yes. We went to Kitchen and Rail where Aaron and I met Aaron and his wife and Aaron's wife's

[00:34]sister and her husband. We had a flight of espresso martinis. Upstairs roommate orders a glass of wine, and then they're asking, you want the three, the six, or the nine? And she's kind of like, oh. And she goes, I guess I'll do the three. The reason she did the three-ounce glass is because, like, the seven-ounce glass was $48. Oh! Wow. What the fuck was it? Oh. I don't know. I don't know. And I was like, this, this, and Aaron, you've been to that restaurant.

[01:01]Like, that restaurant can't have a, that can't have a glass of wine for $48, right? $48? No. Not if, because, like, it's not, it's not, it's going to be a 2012 or something. Like, it's going to be a 2023 wine. So she got the, so admittedly, she was, like, wise enough to be like, oh, I guess I'll just do the three-ounce one. And then that three-ounce one, like, for $17 went down in, like, eight seconds. And I was like, well, that. Of course. Of course. It was that. That's good. And Russell goes, that's fine. I'm finned down.

[01:30]Like that. Yeah. That's like, that's two shots. Isn't it? Isn't three ounces two shots? Russell's like, wait a minute, that was $17 and it costs, and it was three ounces? I have to go jack off at the bathroom. So I looked up finned down on Amazon, because my new favorite thing is just typing stuff into Amazon. The number of books that are teaching people how to be a finned down, the art of financial domination, paid to be worshiped. But then I found something interesting. All these other books here are, so here is the last one. The last nonfiction, How to Dominate Men on Twitter. Okay.

[02:00]319. Listen, I don't have time. We don't even have time to read How to Dominate Men on Twitter. That's where this episode is going, Aaron. Instead, there are fictional stories of finned doms. This one's called, I Guess You Can Stay If You Pay My Rent. Now, we're just going to look to see if they have just a little. Rob, did you ever get finned domed? And like, did your high school girlfriend ever say like, well, yeah, we can take a lunch break if you buy me these boots or anything? Like, did you ever have a moment like that? No, but I would have bought, I would have been like, yeah, buy boots, stealing my mom's

[02:32]credit card. Oh, my God. A lunch break like that? Stealing my mom's credit card in two seconds. Greta isn't interested in romance, but a neighbor who generally craves financial domination, the structure, the rules, the gratification of giving is a temptation she doesn't ignore. What starts as compensation becomes an arrangement with expectations and increasingly bold gestures. Okay, well, now I'm bored. That's okay. But there's a whole bunch of finned down stuff online. So think about reading it, Aaron. And Aaron, by the way, you got to Venmo me $5, you sick fuck.

[03:02]In 2020, four friends. What's that? Nothing. 2020. I'm going to listen to that, Aaron, and I'm going to laugh or be mad. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums that decided by Rolling Stone magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it. Better. Guys, we're up to album 262. Hell yeah, 262.

[03:31]We did it. And from 1983. It's a palindrome. We don't get these that often. It is. The same backwards and forwards, Aaron. Only every 10 albums. We are up to album 262. And from 1983, the year Big Brother was still only peeking at me. Okay, Big Brother wasn't watching me in 1983. He was just kind of peeking at everyone as well. Like, hey, what's this guy up to? But the next year, 1984, my God, Big Brother was watching me all the time. And it's Power Corruption and Lies by The New Order. And listen, let's not mess around.

[04:01]Let's get right into the parody song. That's right, guys. I got a fucking parody song for this album. I bet you didn't think that was going to happen, did you? What's up, everybody? Welcome to KROB. K-R-O-B. Your best in dance hits from the 80s. And speaking of the 80s, we want to wish a happy birthday. To Aaron's Neighbor. And guess what?

[04:31]Next up on the weekend after that, we're going to drink Driver Moves or some weird shit like that. Oh, after that, it's Poker Night. But you don't use real money until the very end. And then after that, guess what? We're hanging out every weekend. That's the way it is. Oh, yeah. How does it feel to live in Aaron's Neighborhood? You're constantly hanging with neighbors. And you're doing shit that is bizarre.

[05:00]Birthday parties for octogenarians. $300 of Driver Moves. Watching the State of the Union. Or the mayoral debates. There's millions of cats. But you'll get bit by a dog. Aaron gives you all of his fix. Then he gets... He gets kicked in the nuts by his kids. Lots of children's birthday parties.

[05:33]Hey, do you want to try this crime? But you have to close your windows. Or Aaron will peek in at night. Yeah. Oh, how does it feel to live in Aaron's Neighborhood? You're literally hanging out every weekend. But you can't... You can never do normal stuff. Yes. Now, listen.

[06:00]I kept it going over the song. Listen to this remix I made. But you're just too lazy to look it up online. It fits together. If you want to get four guys to chat and then they get off track. I'm like New Order. I've got the perfect podcast for you, Jack. I did it better. Wow. Now, here we go. There's a lot there in that song, guys. There's a lot to get through. But I'll tell you what. I didn't feel knowing that Rob's deep down thoughts about you were just expressed there

[06:34]in like 12 lineups. That's what he thinks about you. That's everything he thinks about. There's no part of him that thinks you're a good middle manager or like a good father. Upper middle manager. Yeah. Or good at this podcast. Those are his thoughts on you right there. Yeah. He just sums me up like that. I picture Aaron just going from house to house in his neighborhood. And every house is like a fucked up place at like a carnival. You know? Like it's... It's a little different. It's like, oh, this is a fucking kid's birthday party. This is the baby. It's like that movie, The Burbs.

[07:00]Yeah. But it's also that everything, every story Aaron tells, like if you told me he went night golfing with his neighbors, I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense to me. He's going to a Halloween party with his neighbors. Like to me, everything Aaron does is with his neighbors. I will never talk to my neighbors. Now, partially because I think they only speak Norwegian from what I've heard. But I just will never see them, Aaron. You're interacting with your neighbors all the time. It's mind blowing. All the time. We have very good neighbors. Except on the one side, they're like, they're not that interesting. They're not that interested in being friends with us. But the other neighbors, like, it's funny. Was it hard for you?

[07:31]I feel like that would bother you guys. No, because they're very good neighbors. So it's just how it is. Like, they're just not, you know, they're not that interested in being friends. But I did just send you guys a photo. Alice the cat has not had a good life since we got a dog because she doesn't get to come inside anymore. But anytime I'm in the garage, she comes and hangs out. And so, as we mentioned last week, I was watching the Indiana-Ohio State game in the garage with my friend Garrett. And so that's Alice the cat with my friend Garrett. So she does get... She does get... Garrett, you have a TV in the garage?

[08:00]Aaron, I was going to say, this is fucked that you said you watched the game and you didn't tell me that you're watching a game with your bro in the garage. Aaron's going to be making fun of you? That's amazing. Yeah. That kicks ass. God, I would love to watch TV. I would love to watch football games in the garage. If you would have said, hey, who on this podcast has a garage TV? I would have said you probably have one. I would have... I'm shocked Aaron has a garage TV. Oh, yeah. I just sent you... Oh, Murphy. He's so tired. Look how tired he is.

[08:30]What is he? I would say... Well, Murphy likes one thing and that is he likes to kiss his... Is that a real dog or is it a stuffed animal? No, he's... Look at his head. Murphy. Murphy. He's addicted to nuke, though. He's RoboCop, too. It's very bad. Listen... Yeah, we did our first experiment of like, leave the kids upstairs and let them watch Gravity Falls. And we went downstairs to watch in the garage TV. And then I just sent you... I just sent you a picture of me. I was watching garage TV this morning, watching the Cyclones while I was on the Peloton.

[09:00]Awesome. Hey, what do you think mom and dad are doing downstairs with their friends? Sounds like... Aaron fucks his neighbors. Now, listen. I've got three guys here who was wondering when this band was going to go into the Wolfpack. You know what I mean? They realized it was bad. Wolfpack is back with the mass destruction. It was a different new order. That was a different... You're sweet. I've got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Good, Rob. I saw you this morning. I thought you might like to know. Oh, did you...

[09:30]Again, I was in Connecticut playing craps on the bus the moment we went through the state lines. I'm the guy who knows what state you can play casino games on your phone. You know, I thought that was last week, but you brought it up again. So, is that a shirt? Did you get like a team shirt there? You have a coach's shirt? No, I beg the athletic department every year for free shirts. So, they throw me... Because I always say, oh, I go, God, I love that shirt. Any coach walks by with like a school shirt on, I'm like, I love that shirt. The thing I'm coveting now... A school sweater vest. The coaches are wearing sweater vests with the school logo on it.

[10:00]I'm like, I got to get one of those sweater vests. I've got Russell... Or, Matt, did you go? Matt, Minneapolis. Okay, I'm sorry. Russell in Minneapolis. How are you doing? Rob, you caught me at a bad time. So, why don't you piss off? Oh. I've got Aaron out in Oakland. Now, Aaron was telling me earlier in between the shows here. He said, Aaron's thankful his phone's incognito mode doesn't have a wrapped, like, Spotify, you know what I mean? Like, hey, what's Aaron been looking at?

[10:30]It is incognito mode. Aaron spent the most time watching Muscle Mommy Dominates Bald Guy Who Has a Big Dick, but it's actually pretty cool about it. What? Aaron, I mean, you're watching that the most? That's your most watched category? There's got to be like two or three videos? I better find out later how many videos there are of Muscle Mommy Dominating Bald Guys. There's a lot of sad, dirty grannies out there that they didn't make their Spotify rap. No accounting for taste. Oh, our love is like the flowers. Let's talk about... New order. New order. If my incognito mode had a wrapped, you guys would never talk to me again.

[11:03]No? Never. Matt definitely wouldn't. That would be out for sure. I'd still, I don't know, I'd be curious. Orno looks like my wife. What? What? Nothing. Russell, you're not married. You don't get that joke. Listen, let's not mess around anymore. Let's get right into the voice, man. Oh, the voice, man. The voice on the phone. The freaks. Won't leave me alone.

[11:30]Can you please discuss on the show how it is a fucking tragedy that Enema of the State by Blink-182 isn't on the top 500? This is the voicemails that we love. That is a voicemail. Did my wife send that one in? I do. I have, man, I don't know what your wife's number is because, again, I directly messaged her on Instagram. This doesn't have dammit, right? This is after that? Okay. This is... Does it pop? This is an awesome album. It's an awesome album, but it's got...

[12:01]Let's just play some of the hits. What's my name again? What's my age again? Great song. Adam's song. Pretty good. Adam's song is the best one. Adam's song. And this is... What would you call this, Matt? Like, is this... What type of rock is this? To me, these are songs that would be on, like, American Pie soundtrack. I don't know what you'd call that type of rock. But I always thought of this as, like... I would be shocked if Blink-182 was on the list. I'm not saying it doesn't belong. I love this stuff, but it just doesn't feel...

[12:32]It feels too poppy for The Rolling Stone, right? This album... I mean, if you think of, like, all of the stuff that's coming after this, and I'm thinking of, like, Fall Out Boy and, you know, some of that stuff is hugely influential. Some 41? In my opinion. Yeah. Russell. Yeah. The next song after this one... It's a banger. Yeah. I mean, right? I mean... I mean, this is your kind of number one criteria, Russell. Like, banger.

[13:00]I'm with it. Banger. But it doesn't feel like this is something Rolling Stone would give any credit to, but I'm asking why. But this is that melodic, like, super-produced punk, kind of, that came out in this time. It's just kind of like... This is the exact... Green Day. Green Day. Green Day. 100%. Green Day is, you know, four or five years before this, so... I mean, Blink-182 is so good. This album... You're telling me that we haven't heard it before? Have you ever heard albums that are worse than this one? Please. I mean... Anywhere you can be and sing along with this song with a group of people, it's a great hit.

[13:34]It's a great hit. I think there's a... It's off. Carry me home. There's a Rolling Stone thing against it. Like, I think the list could be 2,000 albums, and this wouldn't be on it. It wouldn't make it. I think there's a... That's crazy. That's crazy. I'm not saying... In my mind, I'm saying I don't think this fits into, like... Just Rolling Stone's never gonna do it. The influential music that they give credit to. Right? Yeah, I think you're right, Russell. I mean, I don't know.

[14:00]This'll be... Listen, when they redo the list in, like, six months, guys, they gotta sell more Rolling Stones to those sick fucks who are out there buying paper copies of them. There's Rosie's son's favorite part. Matt, what should be on the list higher? This album or New Order? Oh, this. This album. No question. I mean, there's... I started going through albums from the early 80s, late 70s, early 80s, and kind of that synth pop. Yeah. That should be ahead of this album that we're gonna listen to this week.

[14:30]I mean, there's so many... So many albums. It should be ahead of that one. You know what the ultimate shame of this is? Is that the Grammys start doing best album cover after this. You know what I mean? Yeah. This should be... This is like... You know what I mean? This should get a Lifetime Achievement Award for great album cover. Describe it. Well, it's somebody who I found out one day, and you'll never guess what I did. Wait, after I found this out. Oh, no. That this woman on the cover is an adult film star. Oh.

[15:00]Who is slapping on a latex glove, and she's dressed as a nurse with red lingerie on. It is incredibly attractive. It's incredibly attractive. If you saw... If your wife dressed like this for Halloween... All I gotta say. All I gotta say. This came out June 1 of 1999. Yep. Well, how about for the... How about the... For, like, all-time... All-time album names, the next album that they came out with. Well, you know I love it. You know...

[15:30]Man. Oh, take off your pants. No, I love that fucking album. I know you love it. Take off your pants and jacket. Yeah. It's a good one. Just what you should do when you come in the door, you know? Russell, J-A... Okay, this is my all-time greatest challenge. J-A-C-K-E-T, jacket. Nailed it. Rob, speaking of jackets, when I was in New Orleans last week, I wanted to run this by you. A lot of the restaurants we went to... Two weeks. ...required a jacket. So, it required you to dress up, and I gotta say...

[16:02]He, he, he. I kinda liked it. I always say, hey, I require a jacket after dinner. I kinda like the jacket requirement. You like... Did you pack one, or did you have to... I packed one. Aaron and I wore probably the same jacket about four or five times. You were prepared. Admittedly, but I kinda like the up-skill thing where they make you dress up a little more than you want to. I kinda liked it. I liked it. So, Russell, would you say that... Would you say that the jackets were some of the best parts of being in New Orleans? Top five?

[16:30]Top five? Top five jacket, New Orleans. Well, listen, when you go somewhere nice, Russell, and you're paying for that dinner, and it's expensive, I think a jacket required is not the craziest thing. At the very least. Yeah. In fact, you know, to be honest, if it's expensive enough, probably two jackets. I think everybody should... It should be a two-jacket requirement. Yeah, one before and one after. Yeah. Well, no, you... There's a jacket at night, and then there's, of course, a morning jacket, because two jackets at night. Okay. Okay.

[17:01]You definitely have to go to the dry cleaning after wearing the jacket that many times. Oh, for sure, Russell. A double jacket day? You'd have to take it to the dry cleaning. You can't just jacket again. No. No. And, you know, with my jackets, I'll come with hoods, Russell. That's part of the deal. Oh, gosh. What? That's too far? Geez. I feel like... I feel like I'm in the... Just stating facts. I feel like I'm in the Widowmaker, because that was subtext. Now... Wait, man has his hand up.

[17:31]No, I was just going to bring it back. I mean, like, famously, this album, in our household, my wife's favorite band of all time, Blink-182 kind of thing. Oh, Blink. Wow. So, you know, huge fan. Hello. Hello. Huge fan. So, I wasn't surprised... You would think I wouldn't like this band because of their song, All the Small Things. It's not about me. I'm a huge Blink-182 fan. So... Worth it. Worth it. Every time. So, in our household, this group, this album, you know, maybe even a couple of the other ones would be way high up on the list if it was just voting at our household.

[18:10]Yeah. Well, I don't think it's wrong. I think... I really do think that when they redo the list, that they have to be on there. There's just no way that they're not. There's zero chance. This isn't a band that fits the Rolling Stone vibe. There's no chance. They do it, yeah. Okay. 1999 albums. California Cajun. California Cajun.

[18:30]That's on the list. Play by Moby. I bet that's on the list. Animal of the States. Oh, Supernatural by Santana. God damn, I heard that sound a lot. Oh, Supernatural. Geez, I played that one a lot. There is a juvenile aspect to Blink-182 that Rolling Stone would never put that on the list. You know what album did come out that year? Fly. Oof. This 1999 is kind of a fun year. 100% genuine. You know, we're on Apple. Look at that one. 100% genuine. You know who wrote that album? Human Clay by Creed.

[19:00]Oh, click on that. Look at the... Is this with Pony on it? What's that? Human Clay. Human Clay. Human Clay by Creed. Guys, Slipknot by Slipknot was this year. Oh, hey. Just click on the Wikipedia. What's the songs on that one? Oh. Have I told you guys that I know a guy who's now a member of Slipknot? I told you that, right? With arms wide open. You did tell us that. You have a... With somebody you know who's in Slipknot. Because it's an Iowa thing, right? Tortilla Man. Yeah. He's a guy. I do not.

[19:30]We do not. We simply do not have time, Aaron. We did that jacket bit earlier. It's kind of sucked up a lot of the clock. That's true. So you know what? We definitely have to get into the rolling going. Hey. That is a fucking album, though. To go from with arms wide open to higher by Creed. Now, of course, we all remember my Creed joke from weeks ago. Which, by the way, some sicko texted. A correction to my joke. Hey, numbnuts. Call the fucking Beck's line. Oh, and by the way, can I just say this real quick?

[20:02]To our fucking fans out there. I forgot to release an episode the other week. No one said fucking shit. And that's why, to all of our fans out there, you fucking pay pigs. You fucking send me money, you sick fuck. Because right now, you're getting a spanking of the week. Someone was a bad little boy. It's time for Big Papa Rob to give you the... you crave it's time for the official did it better spanking of the week

[20:30]wow classic sound clip i was told by the upstairs roommate by the way rob that when all right i like for this when her episode didn't come out they she said that the basketball podcasts have a timeline like their basketball podcasts if you don't listen to them like the day of it's gonna be old news like two days so all the basketball podcasts the bill simmons the zach low the dane moore all the basketball podcasts are now ahead of beck did it better in our house because ours our episodes are

[21:05]evergreen and basketball podcasts are not my wife also has a better chance of listening to bill simmons than my podcast i told anna that she was our only listener to alert us to the fact that nobody cares anymore and she said no that's kind of embarrassing for me it was sad isn't it that's your wife erin that's who you chose to spend your life with my wife that's hey hey that's my wife that's my wife you guys are thinking dirty stuff about don't say

[21:34]anything uh listen okay did we do yeah we did we did the voicemail we did the thing uh uh erin rolling going how's it going with you well it's going great i did want to catch up with a couple of things i hadn't caught you guys up on which is that we did have the annual school benefit uh on november the 15th so we we made that happen and um i finally i i always try to find

[22:00]the theme this year was uh saturday night live and i always i always try to find a costume where i don't have to wear a wig so we were going to initially do um the culps what are they bobby and uh i can't remember the the uh the folks who are like the uh it's will ferrell and um on a gas tire like high school choral directors yes yes that was what we were gonna do yeah there's these guys right here yeah that's a great one erin that's why i was rocking a beard because i was gonna

[22:32]i was gonna actually cut my own beard to fit that god we couldn't make that we just could not get the rest of the uh of the costume to work and i couldn't find the right dress i couldn't get the hair to work right um and then actually there was another couple who did who that night like did that costume and absolutely nailed it and like they're cool folks like if we had been wait a minute it would have been fine but so um so the the will ferrell character where he was a band teacher who sang on a keyboard who has a amish chin strap beard and was bald yeah you

[23:04]changed your life basically to put this costume together yeah and if you would have succeeded you would have gone to this party and there was another couple in the same fucking costume yeah and they had done it better i felt like yeah oh that's a whole nother podcast but erin do you feel like when you see a bald guy do that to you does that feel like like kind of low down dirty bald tactics like hey there's only there's only one bald costume here and that's

[23:33]me erin what's your thoughts on yeah honestly actually what happened was i was i was actually going to try to grow my hair out too and do the will ferrell and i couldn't i grew the hair for like eight days and i was like i look like my dad i look old i couldn't do it so i like i robbed i was ready to wear like the bald wig and then cut my beard and then we couldn't we just couldn't get the thing to work so we ended up i did wear a wig some young gentleman with a full head of hair comes in stolen valor style

[24:01]oh wow that's what happened actually the guy they have the guy who what who did the costume better than me was wearing a bald cap oh my god erin he was stealing that stolen valor yeah erin you're bald valor i hate to say it right now stolen is gone this guy is getting on early on the airplane for everyone who can't see there's four people right now this guy is walking by barber shops russell's got the wrong arm up it's listen this

[28:34]he's been in a couple things recently um god i wish i should have been a little bit more prepared but it got so weird and so quirky and i knew about if there was like seven episodes i knew like about episode three like this is just not going to be good for me like i'm not saying like it's not a good writing and all that stuff but for me it's just it's not good and i just i have to finish it and i need to somehow break that uh whatever's in my head to do it so do you guys have

[29:04]i mean are you guys able to just say no this is not good or do you have to finish uh either like a season of a show and just like not watch season two or what is your tv watching habits or series watching habits very few very few shows i've given up on there's a handful of them where i've westworld was one back in the day where i made about half season and i gave up on it matt one of your favorites i recently just finished even though the sixth season got a little bit uh

[29:31]off kilter uh peaky blinders just finished season six of peaky blinders by the way that that season i don't know if you ever talked maybe we did heavily features pj harvey pj harvey right yeah music's all over that that show but yeah i usually i would usually will keep going unless i bail in season one or at the beginning of two if i if i get through like season two then i'm i've got to keep going other than zombie shows then i can get then i can bail yeah i

[30:02]don't watch them at all i haven't watched any of the zombie shows i watched the one episode of the last of us that everybody was crazy about which was awesome but i didn't watch the little show yeah yeah i can i can quit on a show but i'll usually like get to the end of a season before i do but yeah i mean that's what i tend to stuff out there you can let it go right i'm playing so many video games right now that i've fallen behind in my movie watching like i'm not even keeping up on my movie podcast oh it's what video games are we playing rob still hell divers too that's all i can think about it's all and the guy from work texted me over thanksgiving hey do you want to hop

[30:34]on and i was talking to another teacher today about this and i said this is like the equivalent of a straight guy having sex with another man like it's such playing video games with somebody from work it's like it's like losing your virginity to this guy it's like losing your virginity to this guy you really have to decide if it's something you want to do because you can never not have it because if i do that if i play this video game with this guy no if i play this video game with

[31:00]this guy he can then see every time i go online that's oh he can reach out to me and request to play with me and then i'm gonna have to make that decision do i say yes to be polite or no like hey i had a nothing against you i've just i've made it a thing in my life to just this is i need this separation from church and state and the answer is to that matt is no i cannot do that i am not i cannot say something like that no i cannot say anything like that this is part of your stoic training rap you know like just cut the cut the

[31:30]cord rip the band-aid off just say hey do you think i could say to him hey i do want to play with you every once in a while but i have to block you from seeing me otherwise we will never play together no that's don't play it no no no you don't play it at all but i'm just telling you just say he's gonna keep this guy does not stop he's gonna keep asking no that's why you should tell him you know you this is where there are times in life where you just have to avoid it you this is like when people bring up that i have a podcast i avoid that shit like the plague i will never fucking answer a question

[32:00]about that rob if he brings it up you change you buy him you're like hey i'm buying you drinks all night you change the subject you don't you don't ever let you don't ever let that piece of conversation it's worth it it's rob it's better russell it's getting russell it's getting more frequent the request i mean it's it's like picking up you have to keep this is coming to a head oh you have to you're putting it you're putting him in the friend zone he's asking you out on a date and you're just gonna keep you want to be friends with you're just gonna keep avoiding answering the question i just keep saying i was busy that night rose i mean i i don't i said oh

[32:34]i crashed out last night i i couldn't play i just can't this is the same guy he is gonna find a way to trap you he's gonna find a way to trap you it's gonna be something like hey do you want to play saturday morning be like oh i can't oh neither can i so let's play you'll be back from that thing at like one o'clock great this is the kind of guy this is and and he's an okay yeah i think he's i think he's a nice enough guy but he starts talking to me about how he smokes weed in front of my co-workers yeah and in a very casual way like i'm gonna and i'm like i don't want to talk

[33:04]to you about this right now we are in an office in a school like i in front of people i don't know that well i literally got up and looked at my phone and walked out of the office because i was like i don't know what else to do with this i'm just going to avoid it i think this guy just and you know what you're right because this guy obviously has boundary issues yeah and if i start playing video games with them he's gonna be talking about it at work he's gonna be telling everybody but if you if you if you make an issue of it with putting up that wall it becomes an

[33:31]issue you got to just constantly change the subject yeah you can't you can't say no yes you can you can say hey i just i've i've got a rule rob can't say no rob can't say no there's no way rob can say no look at him he can do it it's really hard for me to say look at him rob rob put it in your chat gpt you do this a lot put in your chat gpt you know after we're done say hey how do i how do i handle

[34:00]this they're gonna tell you just tell them hey i just i don't play i need this separation from church and state from my life and i don't you know i just when i go home from work i don't want to think about work at all and you're right i am going to go to my therapist chad gbt you're totally right and can i just say this about chad gbt right now you should be able to make a quiz show where chad gbt asks you trivia questions and every time you answer it right they get sexier and sexier and say sexier things to you they will not allow that right now now i have to admit when i tried to come up with that prompt i was super stoned but it seemed like a great idea

[34:34]at the time you know what i mean like trivia and somebody being sexy seemed like a great idea but yeah i do have to avoid that like what's an example of a sexy trivia question oh like oh you're big balls oh who is kelvin koolidge's vice president i'd be like i do have big balls and who's with rob rob how tight were linda b johnson slacks yeah oh he called it jumbo russell that's how big it was he had a nickname

[35:02]for it that was jumbo remember when he had to have him outlay the slacks i mean if i told you a penis named jumbo you can picture it oh it's not small you can picture it you just can't you're not like oh is this long or thick what's it like it's both it's jumbo hey russell russell russell yes rolling going how's it rolling going things are going well you guys know my favorite thing to do when i get out of the house it's to go to the record store rob oh wow uh where's that favorite thing to do when he's trying not to go

[35:33]why do you always do that when i refuse to come home let's go to the record store he's not listening to us anyway she's listening to basketball so i went i went to cheapo records about a week ago i picked up some records and they had i would say this is maybe my best find of because i've told you guys this is the store where it's got the records that are in that are new for each day of the week right so you go and

[43:30]issues with that right now aaron i've got one stacked horizontally where if you saw him in my basement you would slap me in the face oh but i do i still have a lot i've got probably 70 of from my mom's house that i still haven't decided if i'm going to bring them into the record store and give them to them or see if they'll give me 100 bucks for them or what i don't know what to do with them what should i do matt told me i should wait till i've got more room and just keep them as part of a bigger collection but i don't know i'd say yeah i mean if you have any space to hang on to them just hang on to them right like they're

[48:02]mention oh i'm going to tell you honorable mention by the way i'm in bed going to sleep falling asleep she comes in and yells at me about not hanging up my jacket i was like if i came in and yelled at you while you were going to bed not yell but saying hey you've got to start hanging up your jacket i was like if i came in and yelled at you you would be so mad at me it's crazy now i do i did leave out three jackets in various parts of our 1000 square foot apartment i think living with me is a nightmare the more i'm analyzing it she's like you never put your

[48:32]clothes away your shoes are everywhere and your jackets are out and i'm like all those things are true but a lot of other people like me like outside of this place i think my daughter does a five mile turkey trot on thanksgiving other people like me okay oh i say that often to her i go you know a lot of people like hanging out with me they don't just get mad at me for little things okay yeah i put a half-eaten thing of cheese it's back in the cheese it's box you know the costco box with the bags that was confusing because cheese it's normally it's not

[49:04]half-eaten this is a box of cheese it's back in the cheese it's box you know the costco box with the okay i gotta explain this it's a box with little bags of cheese it's but i don't want to eat the whole bag i just want some so i open it eat some put it back in they hate that my family hates that stuff now my daughter does a turkey trot five miles okay now she doesn't pay for it she just hops in like oh that's most of the way in rob that sounds familiar i love the idea she's like she's like apple doesn't fall far from the tree there that sounds familiar now when she got done

[49:34]i will say this her friend did a lot of work and she's like i don't know i don't know i don't know my friend did not go across the finish line because she wasn't wearing a number my daughter sprinted to the finish line she went across the finish line everybody's cheering for her she didn't pay she got all the accolades great stolen valor jenny comes in a little little bit after the race i must say to meet us so now we're sitting around there and we're walking past the finish line to back to get on the subway hold on hold on so your daughter runs in a race she hasn't paid

[50:05]of course yeah your kid runs in a five mile race you gotta go because there's because we were like there's no way she can do this is this a charity way we gotta see like where's where's this money they're always shared yeah they're always charities no no this is for some road for her to listen guys yeah you are acting like i signed her up for this she told me she's doing it what am i gonna say no don't do the five mile race okay oh i'm sorry the love of my life my daughter you guys don't want her to do fitness stuff five kilometers not five miles no no no no it was five miles i know

[50:36]kilometers and miles i'm one of the i work with metric more than most people you know okay i know it was a five miles it was crazy a little tight rob we could probably you know uncle russ would probably you know 40 bucks for the entrance fee or whatever she said it was like 75 bucks and i did say i'm not paying 75 bucks for you running a race you're 16 years old you could run five miles whenever you want probably took like every damn free granola bar and every every bottle of gatorade and everything russell put in 40

[51:04]i'll send in 20 aaron okay my daughter did not take a medal after she crossed the finish line and i think that's good i think that makes her a good person she didn't pay so she didn't take a medal now we are walking out of there we have to go cross the finish line area to get to our subway so we're walking and all these people have just finished a five mile run and jenny starts talking about how it's crazy that these people think the only way you can work out is running you guys like running is not even

[51:36]that good of a workout i like lifting so much more and then and i go i go stop saying that at the finish line of a race i said you can't say that right now and she goes all these people are just high in endorphins they didn't even have that much fun i was like you have to stop criticizing runners now you think oh is that the worst one no she gets on a tutoring call for my daughter by the way i'm paying for a fucking sat act tutor 150 bucks an hour oh do you think they suggested a lot of hours of tutoring or one

[52:07]or two i'll give you guys a hint my daughter according to the sat prep people is pretty much a caveman she can't do anything she needs a lot of tutoring it's gonna blow your mind for all did they say she has cavities too yeah no i didn't laugh at that i was laughing at something i thought of earlier okay i did not laugh at that i did not laugh can i ask you a question does anyone else

[52:32]think it's weird if you have a teacher as a dad that you have to have a tutor shouldn't the teacher be the tutor russell i'm playing so much hell divers too we've already had this discussion i'm wearing my noise can't lean headphones i'm playing video games i simply don't have time you sit in the house while she has a tutor like this is what like there's a lady folding your clothes and a lady tutoring your child while you're playing russell games russell not only am i not going to first of all you know it's on zoom okay second of all i put her name as i put her name as norma

[53:00]so she changes where she gets on with the tutor i am going to sit in the house yes russell if i'm paying 150 bucks i'll sit in the house naked while she gets tutored if i'm paying 150 bucks i should get to do what i want it's a crazy for the act for the ac fucking t they recommended she takes the act you don't need you'd think for them and she could get a tutor who would also take your socks off you'll if my tutor shows up in a car that has four doors i'd be so mad two doors you'll never guess what kind of house they live in here

[53:35]that's what style mansion it is a tutor oh my god you're right you don't need a tutor hey for you to the house of windsor when you just be pissed off you're now you've passed you've here's me here's your knowledge i don't know that's you've gone past i'm not sure don't get what's going on there's no way any of our dumb shit listeners understand what the fuck you guys are talking

[54:01]about no way no way hey to all our dumb shit listeners i'm a beck did a better tutor i only charge 149 an hour i will come to your house and i will educate you about beck did it better you want to know some shit unless it's shit that these guys said not me i can tell you hey these guys not always can't always tell you don't always get what they're laying down my wife gets on the phone call consulting with them with my daughter now you think that my wife started the phone call by saying i don't believe you can

[54:34]learn to get better at these tests i think it's impossible to get better i think once you take it that's just how good you are and then she talked about that and how she's all the standardized tests she has taken in her life to the tutoring people she's on the phone telling the tutoring people that you cannot tutor somebody to get better at a test so my wife my daughter's mortified my wife has officially wilded out guys i'm not gonna tell you that i'm not gonna tell you that i'm not gonna tell you guys what do you do when your wives are wildly down do you say anything you just have

[55:01]to realize like oh this is the way it is what are we doing with it because the wives ever wild out every once in a while over there they got a wild out sometimes they say things where you're like come on we're not well doesn't everyone you don't i say things yeah you might think that they are don't do that aaron don't play it on yourself i want to hear about these wives wilding out i was gonna say you you might think that but at the same time it's like what are you gonna do you're gonna change them you're gonna mansplain it you're gonna micromanage what are you gonna do i micromanage i manage the home here

[55:30]i'm a manager clearly because you ended up in new york this year yeah it was thanksgiving yeah russell's sneaking into the apartment of the record so he doesn't get in trouble yeah uh what what do you do i mean because you can't right you can't say anything and that's fine like that's part of the charm too but well i can't be criticizing runners at a finish line well i mean you gotta choose where you would want to say something but i think anyone who is in a relationship with someone they trust you're both gonna have moments where

[56:01]you say to one another like hey you gotta walk it back a little right or like think about what you're let's think more about how you're approaching the situation right like that's a normal thing for two humans to say to one another we don't talk like that we don't talk like that in this house yeah i oh oh you're gonna criticize me because i'm doing my bit where i'm pretending to jump in front of the train in front of my kids you know what i mean like i'm not gonna do that i mean don't try to control me i'll do what i want everybody's favorite part of the show

[56:31]by the way just to remind you i turn to the kids and i say i love you before i pretend like i was gonna jump in front of the train i thought it was funny hey matt at least we did that so now rob doesn't have to do his list right yeah can i just say this goodness by the way aaron it happened the other day where my daughter's like i'm so nervous about going to volleyball camp i haven't played volleyball in a while and i go yeah what if you forgot how to play i think stuff is funny and it's ruining my relationships now

[57:02]let's get into the album we are talking about what would you think if your mom said somebody like to you like that rob oh boy if my mom said something negatively that would make me feel bad god what would i do russell boy what would i do i have no idea probably start a podcast yeah yeah who knows probably a podcast that i crave attention from anybody positive or negative boy that's so i mean technically last week when we didn't post that there was no attention paid

[57:30]towards all um why are you gonna say that at 2 40 a.m eastern well i'll tell you what i know this is gonna be different because there's a lot of new order fans out there that are gonna love the album lies so about this album okay bernard summer if you're forgetting we did 1956 we did do the copy guy bit on the b-52s it said rob got very frustrated with the copy by copy guy did robberama doing the flow squatty

[58:03]robbie robba llama robert the first song planet claire and the copy boy voice and then it got really dirty is what i wrote down oh come on that's crazy that is not us here's the here's the bottom line new order is joy division okay they are joy division they do unknown pleasure they release their second album and the night before if they're going to start their north american tour the lead singer ian curtis who is suffering from depression kills himself geez and ends the band right so then all of a sudden they come out and they they're and if

[58:36]you remember joy division i had to kind of go back and listen i have not listened to a lot of joy division but this is what 11 we had 211 yeah unknown pleasures this is what joy division sounds like just to remind everybody so it's kind of this punk with keyboards but this was this i have an anomaly on the album right i think the rest of the album is a lot of this so this is

[59:02]love will tear you apart this was actually a single release between the albums so it was a little bit different because uh uh yeah it's just you know they did that british thing where they're releasing singles separate from their album uh and so they come out and and the first album they release obviously is a little bit down but this this one comes out and they're kind of like instead of doing that kind of depressive joy division stuff all of a sudden they're doing like these i don't know how you can describe it but like proto dance proto like kind of i mean this

[59:31]is 1983 this is kind of like a little they're taking drum machines kind of making disco beats with it doing a little bit of dancing with it and so they self-produce this album so they're sounding less and less like joy division as they ditch their producer and it's melodic bass minimum vocals a lot of synths and the thing is is that before this album comes out they release a single and that single is called blue monday so it's called blue monday this song has a long ass intro

[60:02]so i'm going to go a little bit forward this song is so fucking good i've been listening to this song all week and i discovered something and it's there are so many remixes of the song i'm going to play them from the normal versions to the weirder versions and that's going to be tonight's list oh these are the list of the weirder and weirder versions of blue monday i like it and this all started because i was looking at blue monday because i was listening to the song like crazy and i found something on youtube called 8d audio now i tested this with

[60:34]matt and he could hear it have you got you can type in 8d audio and type in any song and people do this to it listen it's like it's spinning if you close your eyes and listen to this it's like it's going around it's so crazy and if you turn your head with it it's always staying a little bit ahead of you oh my god that's i mean that's messed up i don't think i like it but you

[61:02]can find almost any song with an 8d version well so they started doing other remakes of this song so that song comes out in 1983 in 1988 they remaster it this is the best 12 inch single ever sold no no other single is sold more 12 inch single it's the same song but totally they actually re-recorded some of it and redid it this is the one you know the version of the song that you know it's five years later and they had gone to new york on to the club

[61:31]scene so all of a sudden this is a more of a dance hit type thing is this the same band or is this a different band this is the same band this is still new orders were all these the same band no that's a great question but i'm just going to play the intro and then i'll go a little bit back because it kind of changes not that much but listen this is the one most people know there's the beach buggy remix

[62:01]where it's a little more summery listen to this now this is by beach buggy russell when i say blank remix it's by that person a little bit more chilled out a little more summer version of blue monday this is one of the most remixed songs of all time listen to this then in 1995 there's a new remix that comes out guess who releases it new order they are setting out a bunch of compilations so they do this it's a brand

[62:30]new version of blue monday from 95 so they have 83 88 and 95 all by the same band and this is more of a euro dance version of the song god damn it's good this single got so big before this album came out that we're talking about today that it blew up this album this is one of the reasons this album blew up this is 95 in 2000 we get a remix by a guy named dj dan listen to this all of a sudden it's like west coast rave style we've got more filter sweeps in it

[63:06]this is the dj dan remix but one of the things about this album is that they had the drum machine sound like a drum machine they didn't want it to sound like real drums like so many other people were doing back then there's no lag there's no what do you call that aaron the drag on the drums kind of reverb i don't know listen to this when we go i'm telling you guys this is how much i've been

[63:32]listening to this song i enjoy all these now hard floor mix guys called hard floor in 1995 make an acid remake of it it's all the same fucking song and it's so good i feel like i'm going insane yeah it feels like when you say the same word over and over again and stop and you hear that no many times thirst to really mess with your head but you can kind of hear a little bit of that widening and then finally

[64:01]2017 movie atomic blonde comes out health remixes guess what song blue monday for a true like mid-aught sound to it so good and i'm starting to realize i'm maybe other people aren't as into the song as i am but i can tell you i'm worried you're missing the one that i know what's that orgy orgy but did they not make the list or what's up with that no i didn't want to play i heard that and i actually hated it that's like the most famous one

[64:32]i know but listen is this this version you think is i just couldn't i couldn't handle i think it's most famous one there is is it really yeah how does it feel right yeah to treat me like you do you're right this is i think this is the famous one me and told me i think you're right oh my god well russell i'll tell you what you know who else likes this song

[65:02]you know a little guy named beck and every once in a while during his concerts he'll do a little there you get it this is back in boston rob you gotta turn that orgy video off it's you're the shit that was from the scary times so this is what he does he'll do a little touch on it so i'll tell you what when we're remaking blue monday russell who has but they don't want to play the whole thing who does it better

[65:35]thank you very much all right that gets us out of our list and let's get back to an amazing artist it's crazy this got all the way up to four on the uh uk album charts by the way opener i guys i love this album i as and i think it's i i texted you i go this album is great i think it's the first three songs i think after i listen past that it's not a strong one this i think it's first one and

[66:01]there's one other one this this song though ancient consent is so this song is an absolute bang this was fantastic yeah this this thank you you're looking i'm thinking if you wanted to pick up running tomorrow this is the song you start with like this feels a little like that knows maybe a little arcade fire feel maybe just a little bit yeah it feels like it should be at the beginning of some movie or tv there is a lot of songs in this that feel like they should be

[66:32]like on 80s movies yeah i was i i'll give away just a little bit i i wanted to like this album so much and then i heard this song and i wanted to like it even more yeah and then it does just it tank if it was all like this song it would be a great album right now yeah this is an awesome start i'm gonna say this would sound better in ad just spinning around my head but what are you gonna do you know what i mean i if you like this you know what song you guys would

[67:02]like or what band you would like uh we were promised jetpacks is a direct i'm realizing now keeping warm by we were promised jetpacks it's an eight minute song with a big build so i'll just do it sounds so similar so if you like that you would like this song uh keeping warm by the promised jetpacks oh god dang this song is good this is a this is a pandora fine for me okay i'm all over the place now we all stand

[67:31]the bass i don't know it's all it's kind of it's supposed to be a march remind me what year this is i was trying i was 83 okay so it's a little bit after talking heads right also influenced by them oh for sure for sure what's the furthest you guys have ever walked or

[68:00]ran 18 and a half miles oh my god what what what did you do that ran i was straining ran 18 and a half miles for a marathon like five years ago and then i had a i had some that prevented me from running the race but i was straining and my farthest run was 18 and a half miles yeah my god boy i can't believe your huge penis stopped you from running the race that's crazy unfortunate well i also didn't pay to run the race rob so i don't know if they were going to

[68:31]give me an award for it it's not that okay that's fine the village i like this one it does sound like they have like 10 drum machines going at once yeah there's stuff with it yeah there's sort of like profession that's far up from african rhythms and keeps moving it's fun dancing there's something about this music that tickles me there's something about this music that hits that spot where i i like they might be giants where i like like the that electro stuff i just

[69:06]i don't know what it is i've never even seen like the movie the breakfast club but this just strikes me as like this whole album strikes me as like an 80s movie set yeah no i think when you think of like music from 1983 this is a very good representation of it uh 586 this album was written after they had visited clubs like dance clubs in new york city

[69:33]but there's so much this song and the next one your silent face i mean listen to this do you think these guys listen to craft work i mean does this sound like europe oh yeah and let's so this one you can see like the kid running through the neighborhood to go meet his girlfriend at the end of the movie right like it's just yeah it is all the time maybe he's on a skateboard yeah oh called your silent face yeah this is this is the only other one that i like

[70:04]this is great because of this yeah i love this uh ultra violence of course named after clockwork orange the movie this is where it kind of starts to fall apart well anything i don't know i i've not read the book i've not seen the movie but i feel concerned about anybody who is inspired by that well i don't know like did you guys did you go to school the clockwork orange guy like there's a clockwork orange guy at every school and he was like i don't know i feel

[70:31]like i watched it at one point like half of it i was like this is this is too out there i'm not i can't get behind this shit yep it was bizarre uh ecstasy ecstasy this is kind of fun it's it's got kind of a cheesy robot voice but rob you know what i'm missing why i'm missing ladies week ladies night what happened to ladies remember we had some ladies we had ladies night for five weeks i need ladies night back we had fun ladies night was fun speaking of ecstasy you guys ever want to do ecstasy

[71:04]no it was always advertised as like the drug that makes sex better i was like that's gotta be pretty awesome like if that's what it does like i don't know i was that was one where i was always like oh i kind of want to take it and then i was always like what if it fries half my brain you know what i mean that's the synthetic stuff well no i'm not talking about now like now no way but like when i was younger i was like i could just

[71:33]ecstasy probably i wonder if magic mike is done what rob what if the half your brain is fried was just like your sports betting half so you could continue going on but you could never make sports bets again but you can i tell you but you get to have all of the benefits of the sports bets but you get to have all of the benefits of the sports bets but you get to have all of the benefits of the sports bets but you get to have all of the benefits of the sports bets but you get to have all of the benefits of the sports bets can i tell you but you get to have all the benefits that one time you took it oh i can't make them or i wouldn't be good at it because i can tell you right now i might have fried my my gambling side of my brain might have been fried before some of the bets i had been making before the heater that we're currently on uh leave me alone final one a little more guitar

[72:06]on this one guys asian consent is so good asian consent is so good blue monday is so good let's just right now take some time to celebrate that monday's not on this album well here's the thing blue monday was released on this album on various record and cassette versions for cd and cassettes but not the album not the best hey russell let me ask you a question is this the rolling stones

[72:33]list of the best 500 cassettes albums that's right it's albums and that's why we got to get into our world famous hey some people have world famous barbecue sauces some people have world famous squares hey you know what some people have world famous soup pies some people have world famous really long nails from up and they gotta hold their hands like this because they hang down over a ledge wow wow what i mean you

[73:06]have to if you met the russell's still doing the hands right in front of the camera russell you have to admit that if you met that woman with the long nails you would ask her to scratch your back can you imagine how good that would feel to have her scratch your back oh that's that's not all i'd ask her to do oh i was thinking to myself when i made my scratch in the back joke i bet these guys think i'm going

[73:33]to make a dirty joke but the idea of making a dirty joke about the woman with the long nails is one of the most disgusting things i've ever thought of in my life like can you imagine her loading the dishwasher and those nails just getting clipped off one by one the answer is can i imagine the answer is yes russell because i just did i saw it so clearly in my head and then she's like i'm always loading the dishwasher your jackets are all over the place

[74:00]i supported your long nail medical school days back off okay that's not a real thing if that's my life uh listen i'm tired of you talking about the octomom what about me what's wrong with me you think new long nails person saw octomom in the news was like oh it's gotta be demoralizing i mean octomom is she's bringing weird freaky body stuff to the next level eight kids i just want you to think about that in theory anyone can grow long

[74:32]fingernails but she's the one who did it that's guys guys you know how you have like no nut november what what if for december we don't cut our nails we grow our nails as long as we can shoot year 2026 year of the long nails we all promise to not cut our nails let's put our hands in the middle let's put our currently the shortest our nails are going to be for a year in the middle oh i'll tell you that's one nice thing about jujitsu is you have to cut your nails i love having short nails when my nails get long

[75:04]it bothers me so much what's your guys's nail cutting style aaron how often you cut your nails you think uh once a week and let me ask you this where are you cutting your nails on the end of my fingers oh speaking of oh what the fuck aaron i'll do it in the living room rob i was on a plane probably a month ago lady cutting her nails on the plane i i oh no i almost yelled bomb i'm not gonna lie i was like you gotta get this lady off the plane that's insane that is insane that you

[75:34]think that's okay they can fly around nails fly around they just do that right yeah no you shouldn't be doing that in public unless oh that's messed up i can't even think of a time i was gonna make a dirty joke about the bathroom but i can't even do that because i wouldn't cut my nails then on a plane a plane russell you've got to eat a double whopper and fries and a pizza you also have a personal pan pizza yeah

[76:05]okay because you read enough books you got it for free at the airport you're in a rush a lot of stars or you have to cut one hand's worth of nails on the plane which one are you doing you have to eat the the double whopper and the pizza and bring it on the plane which one are you doing are you cutting one hands of nails on the plane or bringing all that food on i think both of them make you a sick sick sick fine i know but you but you have to pick one i'm

[76:32]sorry i'm probably cutting my nails i can't bring hot food on the plane oh aaron what do you think double whopper and a personal pan pizza sure i mean it sounds delicious Hey, great job reading those books, Aaron, and not lying on the book before. Okay. What? Rob lied to get a personal pizza? That's crazy. It's like he lied about how many laps you ran during the mile time at gym. Matt, what do you think? Nails? I'm cutting nails for sure.

[77:01]That's too much food. Too hot. Just like Russell said. Yeah. You just got to hope you don't have one of the loud clippers. Listen, speaking of the loud clippers, I mean, what am I? A landscaping service? A crisp ball? Oh, yeah. Damn. We got so many clippers jokes. Now, here's the thing. This, what is that? I pushed the play button on my keyboard. It should not exist, by the way. Nobody's ever used it. Don't like it. Is this rolling well-toned? It's perfect here at 183, new order,

[77:33]power corruption lies. It's perfect here. Not at 19, it's 1983 is the year. It's perfect at 262. Or is this rolling grown? What's going on? Okay. It should, of course, be lower on the list, which would be a higher number. Okay. Or is this a rolling boned? It should not be here. It should be higher up. Why is it so low? There's some good guys. Some of these songs are really, really fun. And Rob wrote a text that said, this album fucks after listening to the first one and realizing that. Yeah, realizing that maybe it's disappointing.

[78:01]Now, rolling well-toned, rolling bone, or rolling grown? Matt, what do you think? Way rolling grown. I don't even know if this should be on the list. This is one. I'd rather hear. The Blue Album by Weezer. Of course. Very excited. I'm starting to get to this thing where we've got some of these. We're going to come up on Pavement here in a little bit. And Pavement's got three albums on the list. And Pearl Jam has one.

[78:30]And there's a whole bunch of other bands, like Blink-182 does everything. There's no Garth Brooks. That's crazy. Who do we have? Hootie and the Blowfish. Things like that. There's so many albums that are people trying to do. They're trying to be cool kind of a thing that I'm starting to just wonder about what we're going to be talking about in the 400s because there's going to be some crazy albums on there. But this just feels... There's 10 other bands that I'd rather listen to with kind of the synth pop from the era.

[79:02]Echo and the Bunnymen. Things like that were just unbelievable great. I'd listen to Talking Heads 10 out of 10 before I listen to this album again. So things like that. Sounds like I'm being overly critical. I just... I just don't get why this one's here and I'm not even sure it should be on the list. So Rolling Grown. Russell, what do you think? Rolling Well Tones, Rolling Bone, or Rolling Grown? And of course, the album is Power, Corruption, and Lies. I've said it a lot on this album. As you guys know, this album won Album of the Year. It won Record of the Year, Song of the Year,

[79:30]and Best New Artist in the same year. It has to be this high on the list. Oh, wait. That's not right. That's Billie Eilish. How the shit is that album higher than this Billie Eilish album that I purchased the other day? That's crazy. It's crazy, Rob. I think the voicemail makes a great point. You put Enema of the State here. Who's complaining? Who's complaining that this album's not on there and Enema of the State is? Because you're right. The orgy version is the more famous. You know what, Aaron? That fucks my whole view of this album. Your view's fucked, Rob.

[80:00]Wow. This is Rolling Grown. I did enjoy the song and the beat. I think I like this to Arcade Fire. When I heard Arcade Fire, the funeral or whatever that one is, I get the same kind of vibe. It's just that rhythmic, that beat, that constant. I can see you putting that on in the background, going for a run, working. I think it's got a vibe to it. It's got a beat to it, but this can't be this high on the list. Get the fuck out of here.

[80:30]Rolling Grown. All right, Aaron, what do you think? Rolling Well Toned, Rolling Bone, or Rolling Grown? Yeah, with these guys, Rolling Grown, I think it starts off great. I think there's some really good moments. I like this style of music. I like what it eventually, they begat, but it's just, it's not up there with some of the stuff we're about to hear. Unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. Shit, hey. Because what this gets, is this gets a rolling headphones. Guys, when you're listening to this in AD,

[81:00]That is cool. you need to be wearing headphones. It messes with my mind now that you brought that up. It absolutely does. Yeah. This is definitely not what Leo's listening to when he's having sex, listening, wearing noise-canceling headphones. This would mess you up. It's like you're in a, it's like you're in that thing in Paul Bunyan land where the, it would spin. You know what I mean? You see those, like at the, you get in the tube and it spins. I'm doing a motion with my hands. I realize when we're on a podcast, it's not really making sense. Like the same motion you used to do for the bone roller coaster. It's exactly the same.

[81:31]What's that, what's that, Russell? Like a tilt-a-whirl? Is that what you're doing? No, a tilt-a-whirl, Russell. Again, you are sitting and spinning. This one, I'm in a tube and I'm spinning. Okay. And as you can see, it's totally, Rob, you know what? Totally. My favorite carnival ride is the tilt-a-whirl. Because it's, it's not a height thing. It doesn't take you up like on a roller coaster. You're not going up and dropping. I can handle the spinning at high speeds. I just don't want to go up. And I'll tell you what,

[82:01]it's hard to find a carnival ride where you don't go up. It's either that or you're just kissing. You know what I mean? You're going on the tunnel of love, Russell. Those are the two things that don't go up. I'm like, hey, let's, let's do the, let's do the tilt-a-whirl again. That thing is, I would tell you one thing that I would say at a carnival is a good alternative for you. What's that? Except for vomit. What? And that is the Gravitron. The Gravitron is a fun one. It just spins around. You guys know what I'm talking about? You sit in and it spins, but there's always somebody that would puke. I can never forget a guy puked next to me on the Gravitron.

[82:30]He puked. And instead of going outwards like puke, it just immediately went back on him because he was on the Gravitron. It just went like this. Like he had been hit by a Spider-Man's web, but it was vomit. I'll never forget. I'll never forget it. I'll never forget it. Okay. Every once in a while, not sure when one of my kids was born. A Spider-Man? A Spider-Man. Never forget that. A Spider-Man, yeah. Spider-Man's web. A Spider-Man? How many Spider-Men are a Spider-Man? They got hit by a Spider-Man's web. Rob, when I was in New Orleans,

[83:00]I went to a place called the Carousel Bar. It's a very famous bar in New Orleans and it spins like a carousel. So you get and you sit at your bar seat and you sit there and it slowly goes around in a circle. There's 25 seats. There's 25 seats at the bar and every 15 minutes, you do a full revolution in a circle. Wow. So if you're sitting on the outside, you're moving faster. Like when you walk to the bathroom, did you have to take a... No, there's one... It's one big circle bar. The bar in the middle stays the same, but you're sitting on a carousel

[83:30]and your seat, all the seats are slowly going around in a circle. Now, let me ask you this, Russell. Yeah. Are you getting on like a horse on the carousel? I'm too big to get on a horse. There's no way. I was riding the pony, Rob. Oh, my God. No, there's no horse. That's the pony I want to ride, Russell. There's no horse. It's just a normal bar stool. Put the genuine. Now, listen. Next up, finally, we have a little indie band that you've probably never heard of.

[84:01]Okay? It's the Beatles with A Hard Day's Night. When you want to hit it... It's hard to say that New Order should be the higher than anything by the Beatles, right? That is true. It's kind of crazy. Can we do A Hard Day's Night and Help on the same album? Do we seriously have to do those three days apart or whatever? Can we just do those together? Yeah, we have Help. We can do A Hard Day's Night and Help. Listen to this run and tell me that we shouldn't quit the podcast.

[84:30]Yep. Nope. I don't even need to listen. The Beatles. You know who's after the Beatles? Pink Floyd. Yeah, I know. He just did Pink Floyd. What the hell? What's going on? And then Pave, man. I'm listening to that. And then, guess what? The Beatles. The Beatles. We got to do something. We got to shake this up. And, oh my God. And then the Minutemen. I don't know. I have no idea. I have no idea what that is. You need to talk to rosieswife at gmail.com so he can get a night. Matt's got Kacey Musgraves. He's a Kacey Musgraves guy. I like Kacey Musgraves. That's a good one. Randy Newman. We're going to get a night here in the next week or two

[85:01]or a couple weeks where we can start at five o'clock Pacific time and just do four or five episodes. We have to. Because listen to this then. After that Randy Newman. Okay. On new one. I'll get it. We have a Kanye West album. Three later we have a Velvet Underground. It's going to be tough. Okay. We can't. Oh, Russell. 276. You see what's coming up there? Oh my God. Little man. Oh, that's my dad. Oh. That's the best Radiohead album. Oh boy.

[85:30]Right there. That's the good one. We should not have done this. Okay. You know what? Let's make a vow. Okay. Two vows. What was the first vow we were all going to do today? Not cutting our fingernails for December. To be done with the podcast. Okay. Second vow. A vow to be done. Second vow. We're never going to do that again. We're never going to look ahead. That was a huge mistake. Goodbye. Hey. Russell, you're talking about your major TV problem. You'll never guess

[86:00]what my major TV problem was. Major dad? They canceled major dad. What? You don't remember the day they canceled major dad? I mean, Russell, this guy was a major in the military, yet he had to come home and live with his family. Wow. I bet that would get him in some wacky situations, I assume. Just kidding. I watched a ton of major dad. That's another show I watch a lot of. You know, have you ever seen

[86:30]Deadwood, Rob? The guy from Major Dad is like one of the stars of Deadwood. I love Deadwood. Deadwood's one of my favorite. Let me ask you this. You think major dad. What other sitcoms do you think of? I think of sitcoms and groups. No, but I think of them in like groups of time. Yeah. Like it would be like Major Dad and then it would be like Family Matters. Yeah. And then like Coach. I put, I've kind of put Family Dad with Coach. No, not me. Coach is before that stuff. Really? So like, who's the boss? Family Ties. Yeah, that's. Growing Pains. That's a group that goes together.

[87:00]Yeah. Guys, this podcast is going to last forever. We've got so much material. Rob, this episode, I got it in my notes. It was worth it. I got it in my notes.
