The Beatles: A Hard Day’s Night (1964)

[0:00]I have an all-time week this week of people complimenting how skinny I look. Guys, I am so close to leaving my family and getting cum gutters, okay? I thought I was going to be out of the set order, but I'm realizing right now I need to speed this up. Because I'll tell you what, if I leave my family and then my kid goes to college what? That doesn't make sense. You missed your window. I got to leave before she leaves the college. If I leave after she leaves the college, hey, guess what? I'm out of here. I don't care. I'm at college. Yeah, I don't know. My daughter today was talking about going to college, picking a college, and then we'll get started here. But she was trying to decide between, we said, okay, you've got to decide between a big school and a small school. I think that's step one. Before you want to know where to go, anything is just big school or small school. Harvard or the School of Hard Knocks? And she was like, well, why would I want to go to a big school? And I was like, oh, you'd go to football games, and you'd go to parties, and you'd go to all the football and basketball games. And it was just like... Talking to her and my wife about this, it was just like looking...

[1:00]It was like I was trying to explain physics to two deer. You know what I mean? Just how they're talking. They're just looking at me. They're like, why would we want to do that? That makes no sense. Because it's awesome. I said, we have had hour-long conversations just between the guys of, should we have gone to Madison? Should we have gone to a school where you just go watch a D1 football school, and they get absolutely blasted around scantily clad women? Okay, which is what I assume it was like going to Madison. I don't know. All right, let's get going. Not a lot of response there, okay? I think we're all afraid to talk about what our experience was watching the St. Louis football team. Rob, I was there. I can tell you the experience. I was in the shit. In the scantily clad women, Rob, that's just if you join the band. Imagine going to a football game. Oh, wow. That's a great point. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as a side by Rolling Stone magazine. Now, I want to tell you guys, coming up, there's an improv scene, okay? And I want you all to participate. Oh, we got to be honest. Resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast.

[2:00]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. Ooh, that's a good one. We shouldn't be starting late all the time like this. No. My voice sounds good. We are all the way up to album 263. Wait a minute. Russell, do you hear this? I hear it. It's just in the distance. It's getting closer. Oh, Russell, I'm hearing steps on the roof. Oh, I don't have a sound clip for that. But Russell, I'm Russell. Throw back the sash, please. It's thrown. Russell lifted his head like he was saying, what's up to me? Russell, that's not the sash. Please throw back the sash immediately. I have to be able to look out. I need you. Okay, there you go. Russell did make an action. Picture what you think is throwing back a sash is. Russell made a motion that did not do that. Okay, whatever you're thinking. Russell did not do that. Russell.

[3:00]Oh, my gosh. Look who it is. Who is it? It's Santa Claus. Oh, Santa. Oh, I'm actually Beck Claus. I'm Santa's non-legally copyrighted twin brother. And I'm bringing you. Yeah, I'm bringing you a gift. Okay. Instead of just doing album 263. Did you know there's another Beatles album in three slots up on the list? Oh, my God. It's so much Beatles. Two in four episodes. Yeah. So what we're going to do is I mean, what you guys are going to do. Thanks to me, Beck Claus. She's a lot better name. We're just going to do. We're going to do both albums. Is that what you want for Christmas? Little boy, Russell, a two for one. Remember, this is improv scene. We're all getting involved. Matt, what do you think? As long as we can get it done in an hour 15, I'm fine. Hey, Santa, can I get one of those jack off things I talked about with Aaron on that podcast? I need one. I need one real bad. Hey, is this the type of band that would double up on guys like us?

[4:00]Then yes. And guess what? Don't get me one without the clamps. Okay. If you're thinking I'm going to hold these things, forget it. You know what I mean? I have to use the remote for my Apple TV. That's right. I would say when you get one of those, they've got like the European plug in that doesn't work in our outlets. Right, Rob? Yeah. But can you imagine, Russell? You know, the European jack off machines are so much better. They just they have to be. So good. Oh, by the way. No, I also want to show you guys here. Look what else Santa brought me. Homemade nog. That's a real nog. I have. Mine's already gone. I got a little bit left. I made my own eggnog tonight thanks to a recipe. And I added some whiskey to it. So I am nogging it up. This is the holiday episode. This is the Christmas episode, everybody. Happy. Can you just give us one nog on the mustache? Just give us a sip of a little nog. OK, I will give you a little this. I'm taking this nog for a mustache.

[5:00]Let's see. Yep. Just for the camera. That's what we need. Oh, there it is. Yep. I see it. That's disgusting. That's one of the grossest things I've ever seen. Now I'm licking my mustache clean. What else is a mustache for? Oh, my God. That's marvelous. Little flavor saver. That's what my dad always called it. Now. Oh. We are, in fact, doing both albums. Rob is it's the holiday season. Rob is officially like shaved like the two day shadow. He's just he's a full goatee guy. Now he's got it's not a mustache. It's not like an unkept beard. It is a goatee. Rob, you think your sister, do you think she likes to hear that? It's called a flavor saver and that your dad taught you that? She does. Yeah. Well, he would tell all of us. He didn't care. He was like, everybody know he'd say he'd gather us around the fire. He'd read us the night before. I'm just picturing your dad and I'm picturing. Like him saying flavor saver and looking at his top lip like that.

[6:00]Like, yeah. That's a good picture. Yeah. And he would say he'd finish the book. He'd say, oh, and to all a good night. And you go, remember kids, the mustache is also a flavor saver. Listen, I'm grossing myself out. Okay. This is a holiday miracle. Have you ever done that? I was thinking about this out of all like the text chain guys. You definitely have the most variability in facial hair from like week to week. Oh, wow. I don't think anyone else has any. Maybe Jeff from Burnsville or wherever. He's from. He's from now, but can you imagine all those flavors that aren't saved? Yeah. So many wasted flavors out there. The one I had when I was younger that I've never seen you have Rob or maybe you did have it when you're younger. It was just like the no mustache, but just like the chin beard, like the little beard on the bottom. Did you used to have one of those? There is a famous picture of me. You, the text chain has it somewhere where I'm in that dark coat. One of my many weird trench coats that I wore for some reason during the winter and I'm wearing a brown hat and I do just have. I don't know. The tiny little Bebop beard underneath Rob like, Hey, I love Charles Mingus or whatever.

[7:00]You know what I mean? Whatever a Bebop. Yeah, that I was kind of Lingus Mingus is what I was thinking. But yeah, that was, I had that for a little bit. It is not an attractive look on me. I think a guy with a fat face like mine, you can't have just the little kind of grenade pin at the bottom. You know what I mean? You need something to really, you need something to really accentuate the face right now. I'm kind of like high school football coach. That's kind of my look. Right now, but I am going to shave it into the Metallica for the holidays. I'm going to get rid of this. The Fu Manchu. Yeah. I'm just, oh, no, no, no, no. Just the mustache going down. Just like the, oh yeah, that is a Fu Manchu. I think the Fu Manchu, it's like the Hogan. It is. I looked at something the other day. It's like the Hulk Hogan mustache. And then you look at it. Why were you looking this up the other day? The guys that chat GBT were like, our servers are under an incredible load. Somebody just looked up something insane. What can. It possibly be. Russell, tell us about your Fu Manchu. I was reading it is it's the mustache that comes down around past the corners of the

[8:00]Mouth. And then some people do wear it with like the flavor saver in the middle. So it, the Fu Manchu is the actual handlebar mustache thing. Not necessarily the beard part. I've got a week before I come back for the holidays. I might have to do the flavor saver Fu Manchu combo. You know what I mean? Because if there's anything you want to think about with the flavor saver, it's Hulk Hogan. Let's add the Hulk Hogan together with the flavor saver. Normal. Stuff that we're thinking about. Listen, it's a holiday miracle. We're about to get double teamed by the Beatles. Okay. So it's time to beat the Beatles. Let's go and turn on the radio. Still an all timer. Let's go and turn on the radio and just see what so many Beatles songs I could parody. You know what I mean? It's so many songs. Maybe I already have parody. Maybe I could just put them together, like into a medley, something like that. But let's just see what's on. K Rob, turn on the radio right now. Oh, ho, everybody. This is DJ Santa Rob. And this is a song about everything that's happened on the podcast this year.

[13:00]Come out to NYC on the 11th episode of this funny podcast feed. Amazing. Always. Very festive, Rob. I actually did research, those all happened this year and this year only. Can you believe that? This year? Wow. That's just in the year of our Lord, 2025, which leads me to an unfortunate discovery. If you go back and read our show descriptions, that did it better. There's just no idea what's going on. Let me explain this one to you. If you get lucky rolling your 12 sided flamingo dice today, you'll land on the best podcast about Derek and the dominoes. Careful though, last time Catherine the Great rolled the 12 sided dice, she ended up leaving quite the legacy that would make even big and rich blush. I have no idea what we're talking about there. I could not tell you one bit that is based on Catherine the Great, if you'd have ever mentioned Catherine the Great, I would say no. I bought flamingo dice after we were, after we stayed there last year.

[14:00]That's what it was. Which reminds me, was I supposed to book a room for this year? Russell, do we have enough? I think I was supposed to do it, but I haven't done it yet, so I'll do it. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay. And I will say this, from now on, just listen to these, we should go back and collect all the ones at post our Vegas trip. Imagine a world, as John Lennon imagined, imagine a world where no one takes care of their voices. We're back from Vegas and you can tell. I did it out a thousand coughs, thanks to Joe. We are low energy. It's just like every January, like 28th episode, we're just like, we're dead. We can hardly see straight. This is the worst episode of all time. Vegas kills this podcast, but you know what doesn't, guys? The holiday season, it was an honor to write a song. I researched. It breathes life into our podcast, the holiday season. It's like a reset. Yeah, it is like a reset, but kids and girls, we kind of, guys, we kind of look back and look back at all the stuff we did this year. Do you know how many episodes we did not release? How many weeks we did not release an episode?

[15:00]How many? Five. That's it. We only missed 10, nine out of 10 episodes we got out. That's crazy for four grown ass men recording on a late Saturday night. That's the craziest thing I've ever heard of. We did Rihanna this year. We did little Richard. We did Derek and the dominoes like Wilco. We completely forgot we had done Wilco and that was only in, I guess it was February. It's been a while. That's crazy though. That's absolutely crazy. Listen, we're, this is back to the better. We are talking about the Beatles is double album as much Beatles as we can Cram into an, into 75 minutes. Yeah. And I've got three guys here who can get hard after a day after who can get hard after a day with a night. But only if that night is sir, busty, MILF protector of the realm and finder of people in your area. I've got Matt Minneapolis, sir. Busty. Will you? We salute. I throw down my rose to sir, busty, MILF after he won the jobs.

[16:00]Okay. I got to think about this. I got AI is going to go nuts again. Russell. I got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Good Rob. I should have known better with a main podcast host like you. Wow. I've got Russell in Minneapolis. Russell. How are you doing? Rob? It's after midnight central. I should be sleeping like a log. No. And I've got Aaron. Now Aaron was talking to me earlier. Did you hear Aaron knew about that? The prince who got kicked out of the Royal family. Do you hear about that? Guys? The prince that got kicked out of the Royal family. He is not a prince anymore. No. Yeah. Now Aaron has to call his piercing. Just plain Albert. Well, just you guys know I had my nipple done, right? Rob, I'm not here to, I'm not here to hide my love away. Let's talk about the Beatles and the Beatles. I, and isn't this shows how strong I am. Okay. Some people think, Rob, you're physically strong. Okay. Some people think you're emotionally strong. All right. I guess, Hey, guess what? One married person in this household that didn't cry at work this week, this guy right

[17:00]Here. And so strong, stronger than the rest. She called, she's like, I cried at work today. I was like, did they ding, ring the bell, erase the whiteboard zero days since cried at work. But yet I'm so strong because I did know that Aaron has had a nipple piercing in life and I've never brought it up. Okay. We don't need to talk about it. I'm just gonna ask this. Aaron, how much did it hurt? Scale? One bad. It hurt. I would say it was an eight. I mean, it was okay. Yeah. It hurt, but it's over quick. Yeah. You know what was worse for him? He told this, he, I know this, Rob, he said when he worked at the, he worked at like a dock, like a, yeah, where you put your boat in and when you would put boats in fish would go after it like a lure. He said, yeah, fish did. Yeah. If I got in the water with my shirt off, the fish would bite it. Yeah. The first time I was in the water up to like my chest with my nipples out of the water and a fish jumped out of the water to bite it. That is not a lie. That happened.

[18:00]It was like a bluegill, like a piranha. You just see it coming at your face and you're like, oh my God, a fish is flying toward my face. And then it's like, wait a minute. It's not flying toward my face. Oh my God. It's latching onto my nips. Yeah. Oh boy. You go into a light. One of those like you'll go, oh my God, I walked into the lactation room at work by accident. No. What the hell? It's Aaron in a fish. Huh? Sir. Excuse me. Do we have a lactation room? I've brought my fish. Listen, let's, let's get right into the, nothing in the rule book saying you can't Go in the lactation room with a fish. All right, guys, I just edited out something so juicy. You would cream your jeans if you knew what it was. Hey, what, isn't Emerson joining us today? This is the Beatles, right? Doesn't Emerson come on for the Beatles? Emerson's daughter is an avid listener. So I'm not going to say that. Oh really? He doesn't listen because I have no proof that he doesn't listen. Okay. I'm just going to say that it's never been proven that he doesn't listen. Play the line, play the Emerson line real quick. I don't know if everybody ever hears that one. Rob's right. This one.

[19:00]Yup. There it is. Rob's right. There's Emerson. It's so good. Rob, do you think he has the shortest lifespan of a listener we've ever had where he literally made it like one episode? Yeah. And then he came on one and then he was done. I don't even think he made it one episode. I think he came on for us in the Beatles. I don't think he made it one episode. I think he came on for us in the Beatles and was like, guys, this podcast is never going to take off and get hundreds of listeners. Okay. And you're right. It won't get hundreds of listeners. 70s of listeners. Yeah. Dozens. We've got dozens of listeners. We love it. Listen, let's get right into the voicemail. Which one was it here? Here we go. Hey Rob, it's your sister. Just drop it. She's trying to plan ahead. Are you going to take one of the gifts I give to dad for your brother-in-law again? Okay. Why did she have to do me like that on the podcast? Okay. That Viking sweatshirt or whatever it was, I thought was perfect.

[20:00]I don't think it was big enough for dad. So I took it for my brother-in-law and I brought that to the gift exchange. Okay. And that's because the gift I ordered and folks, how many people raise your hand right now? If you're going through this. You're going through this. You're going through this. You've got to get it right.

[21:00]If we're doing something on the Christmas Eve, I've acquired nothing, but I'm usually like a two-day before. But you know what? I usually come through. I would say I'm a pretty good gift giver. I'd say I'm an A minus gift giver. I remember that one year you wrestled that mailman and got Turbo Man from him. Okay, that was one of my favorite years where you got a gift to the last. Turbo Man? That's the plot of Jingle All the Way. I can tell you guys are not as... You don't remember the key? What's some of the key characters from Jingle All the Way where Sinbad is a mailman? It's not a Tuba. That's the one. That's perfect. Can I tell you guys what I've been doing for shopping this year? I've streamlined my life. I've been shopping off the TikTok shop. You know what I mean? There's a TikTok shop. We're so fucked. And guess what, Aaron? They've got my Apple Pay. They've got my address and everything. It's a one-click shop. And guess what? I'm going to show you some of the shit I'm getting. Because you know when I'm looking at TikTok? When I'm super baked. And what a better time to do some Christmas shopping all around.

[22:00]Hey, Rob. Did you buy that sweater? Hey, kids, you want a second power bank? Here you go. Boom. Second power bank on your head. Second power bank. It's like when you have to just admit that you don't want to buy a new Phone and you need the power bank with the cord in your pocket. And it's so embarrassing. His phone's dying so fast. He needs like a little charger. Oh, he's going to have it. Yeah. This is what you do when you don't have a car. You guys don't realize how much you charge stuff like in your car. Like I don't have a car. I am my car. Hey, look at this. I am a mini SUV right now. You mean a car? Yeah. I'm at it. So I have to charge stuff. Man, what's your Christmas shopping scenario? Are we all set? No, but I also, I have to admit that I do not a lot of the Christmas shopping for Like the family type stuff. You know, Sarah does most of that. So I did go out to, to Shields. Today's, we're recording on a Saturday. I went to Shields at like 3 30 in the afternoon, 12 days before Christmas. And it was nuts.

[23:00]I mean, unbelievably nuts. I couldn't believe how crazy she is. Shields might be the greatest store in the world, by the way. I'd never been to one until maybe six months ago. Oh, I went in and I had to tell this to, Joe from a East St. Paul, Cause he works for like a competitor type. Yeah. Someone of a competitor, man, the amount of sports jerseys they have in that Store is bonkers. It is bonkers. They've got it. You name any like famous NBA player. They've got four of his jerseys and different colors, Different. Anything you want sports wise. I got one of my nephews, the Anthony Edwards prints, the purple rain, Jersey, like, oh yeah. They have everything. Wow. They've got they've got like dress clothes for men and women. They've got all the stuff. I went there. I saw a section today of it was nothing but hoodies and was like Every single college football team that you would want. Like where do you get like a middle Tennessee state sweatshirt?

[24:00]You order it from middle. You get it at shields. It was crazy. Can I, I should explain this for our non-Minnesota listeners. So both of you say sporting good store. You can buy fishing stuff. You can buy camping stuff. And then for some reason they also have a large monster truck That you can put a kid in and take pictures of them. It's like brilliant. And then there's like bowling in there. Like shields comes to your town. It rocks. Yeah. It's kind of like a bass pro shops. I guess is the best. If you're a non-Minnesota, that's the best way to do it. The shields in the Jordan Creek mall is not, They don't have a Ferris wheel in Jordan Creek. I don't think. The Jordan Creek town center. That's in West. Where is that? West Des Moines, Iowa. It's off of a 35 and 80, but you got to go a little bit West. Off of a 35 80. Yeah. It's like it's that spot where like it used to be. East of Nevada. Is that East of Nevada? It's Southwest of Nevada. It's that spot like used to be walkie, But now it's kind of West Des Moines, A place where I never went as a kid. You know those porta-potties you were conceived at? Just take it right.

[25:00]Yes. I mean, that's how we're getting there. But it is great, isn't it? Like man, it's such a classic dad move. Going into shields at like 3 30 on a Saturday. You're just dadding it up, going into a store like that. Yeah. Nope. It was great, but got a new shirt. Got a new shirt today. Wow. You can see this green one of them. Wow. Had to pick up surfboard. So. Huh? And so Matt, you were at a holiday party tonight. You went in looking for a holiday shirt. I didn't go in looking for a holiday shirt. You just went for a holiday shirt. And then one found me. Yes. You know, walked into shields for a surfboard, Walked out with a shirt. It's kind of a deal. You got it. A store like that. Shields is one of the all time. I got to look around stores. You just don't know what's going to be in there. You have to. You have to. You have to. Two stories. My last trip to Shields was with my dad. And he was just like, hey, let's go to the cycling section. What do you want? And now those are like some of my most cherished possessions. I got a quarter zip with a little sigh on that. I got some cycling socks. Like it was just like, it's one of those.

[26:00]Like what do you want? Let's go. Let's go see what's happening at Shields. Yeah. I got to keep buying fun stuff with my dad and not just like Nut clusters. You know what I mean? Like if my dad passed away and I'm like, oh, there's nut clusters All I have to remember. That's going to be a bummer because I can't resist Aaron. I know what it represents. But guess what? I got to have a little juice. Just a little juice. There's a little hazel out of there. Give it to me. Come on. All right. Let's get into rolling. Go ahead. It's time to see what everybody's up to. It's time for rolling. Now, Matt, I was telling you guys on the text chain recently That this year, oh, I go into the last year, Our school party. Fight breaks out between somebody pretty High up at the school actually and a security guard Who the security guard was so drunk he got hauled out. And then the next day he was posted up in front of the School as everybody walked in. So every single person saw him get absolutely dragged out of

[27:00]A bar the night before just hammered. And then everybody saw him at 7 30 in the morning at Work the next day and look into his eyes. Yeah, I was like, bro, you got to go. You got to tell that guy like just stay home or Put him in the back somewhere. You can't put him out front. Like he's just to everybody. See him. Matt, what, how are we treating a holiday party? We trying to get absolutely as ripped as possible On the company. Oh yeah. So I went to holiday party. I think still avid listeners over though. She hasn't called in recently. Yep. Kirsten from Edina went to their house and Brandon. I don't know. I don't think Brandon listens anymore too bad. He was a good listener, but went over to their house Tonight and it was the kind of the first time that I was like, and this is, This amazed me because I've been drinking since I was, I don't know, 19 something like that. Right? The first time that I was like, oh, I should maybe Not drink as much tonight because I really feel Like shit in the morning every time I drink. Kind of a thing. And it's only taken me like

[28:00]26 years to realize that. So I don't know. So it's a turning point. It's an absolute turning. I'm 44 years old. It's an absolute turning point where I just went And had fun talking to everybody. I had one beer. Yep. I had one yellow shot, couple diet coax. Nice. It was great. That sounds like it was great. That sounds like the perfect party. That's impressive. I'm almost, I'll be 46 next month. And my, I'm still like, I didn't drink as much Because I also had a bubbly water in addition To all the wine that I had. So good for you, Matt. I do not know what you're talking about Because I'm almost done with my nog. We've been recording 30 minutes and I've drank A whole tank at a nog. Yes. This is way, way too much nog. By the way, follow up on my holiday party story. This year we went and we got two drink tickets And the lights were turned on very bright. They basically were like, you guys are... They had to reset a little bit. There's a couple things that I wrote down. If you're going to a holiday party, You either have to... Do you think if you're going to a holiday party You should be wearing something festive

[29:00]Like the sweater you have on right now, Rob? Or like ugly sweater or... Wait, I have it on backwards. Hold on, Rob's. He doesn't have it on backwards. You're wearing that sweater with no shirt underneath? Fuck off. Your nipples got to be felt. That would really hurt. You're good. Oh my God. How are you going to sleep tonight? Your skin is going to be screwed. It's a sloth. No, this sweater's old enough. It is not a prickly sweater. It is a nice sweater. But yeah, it is going to smell Because I don't think I ever washed a sweater. That is fine, whatever. You can't wash a sweater. So... So I have famously been a curmudgeoned About like New Year's Eve and Halloween. I hate dressing up for Halloween. A couple weeks ago, we talked about Aaron's fundraiser, right? Like how that dude just drives me bonkers To think about having to dress up to donate money. Like how can I just donate the money, please? Kind of a thing. So I traditionally have not been a

[30:00]Wearing an ugly sweater thing Even though four years ago, three or four years ago, We dressed up as a group of us That dressed up as Cousinetti in different formats. That's a double whammy. That's a Christmas Halloween bit. Sounds pretty good. Sounds pretty good. Yeah. I was the one with the Dickey and the tight white sweater. Classic. You know, he goes and knocks the thing over And Clark's trying to fix it. The Dickey fascinated me when I was younger. Like the idea of having a fake turtleneck, I was like, fucking amen. So I did not, yeah, I did not dress up, Although most people did. And I think it's hit or miss. I think it's hit or miss. If you try to be funny, Try not to, to wear Christmas stuff. So are you guys, if you're going to a holiday party Or you address her upper I was at a holiday party tonight. This is the exact shirt I was wearing. I was like, that's kind of green ish. Yeah. You look just like me green color. What does that say on the front? What does that say on the front? Make America great again. Make America great again.

[31:00]I don't own any sweaters, man. I'm just not a sweater guy. I feel like that sweaters. I don't know. It's like, it's like your college sweatshirt you wear. Like some, sometimes those fit people well. And sometimes it like, I'm not a sweater guy. I just, I can't, I don't think I, I, I appreciate when other people dress up for holiday events And I like when people have good looking holiday sweaters, But I personally, I don't really own them And I don't really wear them. I can't wear a sweater indoors anymore. Like that's crazy. Like a sweater in a room full of people. I'm going to feel terrible. I love my holiday sweaters and guess what? I wear them once a year. They're great. They're funny. When you walk into a room and people see you In the sweater, they get your vibe right away. Okay. I got it. I did find a sweater today, Rob. For Sarah. I was a friends themed one with much Christmas lights. Yeah. Friends fan. But right next to it was one I almost bought to wear To the party tonight. I'm kind of glad I didn't cause I would have stuck out Just a little bit too much, but it was just Santa Claus And he's got, this is, you should be taking notes.

[32:00]This is one for you. And he's got sunglasses on. And what did it say? I'm looking for ho ho ho's. No. What is it? Ask your mom if I'm real or something like that. Don't think I'm going to ask your mom. I don't know. You should see if you can find them on an Amazon, Rob. Cause that'd be a good one for you. And you, like what's the closest you've come to Making your mom joke to a student? Oh, no, no, never. I wouldn't even think about it. I don't, that's the, can you imagine, can you Have bra bra? When's the, when's the last step? No, when's the last time you thought it though? That's what No, Rob. No, no. Oh, we found something Rob does want to talk about. Right. We got to get a move in better. Better. This is the question. Let it. Oh, wait. I do have a nice Santa hat. Maybe I can pull it out here while Rob's rolling, Going to talk about something I don't want to listen to. I'll go grab it here. But I do have a nice Santa hat that I occasionally I'll bring

[33:00]To like a family thing or something like that. That's festive. That's good. The only other quick note I had from the party is if you ever Go to a party, make sure you bring your own slippers Because you're walking around and people's floors are Cold and they get hurt. So bring your own slippers and make sure there's a House shoes. Do you have to explain to them like when you, When you have mine, you have to be like, These are slippers. These are house shoes. I don't want to say it. It's good. It's tight. But we did Matt. And I did that just tonight. We went to this party and she said, I brought my house Shoes. Are you okay if I wear my house shoes? And of course the host said, yes, Like we were a house shoes house and bless, Bless you. Yep. So don't forget that. Meanwhile, They'd say they're a house shoes house and Aaron Throws a shit fit. He thought he was seeing feet. Happy holidays for me. Rob's the foot guy. It's not rosy as Rob's the foot guy. You guys got to laugh though. Russell's making foot jokes now. That's five years into this podcast. Russell finally gave in. Fuck it.

[34:00]I like it. I like it. It turns out my fetish is watching Russell make Foot jokes. Wow. That's so straight. I have to say, I have a picture of Hugh Laurie when he worked In a hospital on my shoes. And those are my, Those are my house shoes. So that's what I, It's lupus. You got lupus. God damn. Roll it going. How's it going with you? Matt, it's going good. I think I've had a good week. I'm trying to remember all of it. I feel like I went out and did some stuff. I went to Yoshi's jazz club in Jekyll and Square last night and I saw Robert Glasper. That was super fun. I was good to go out and see some live Music and hear musicians play with one Another. Robert Glasper is a guy who's sort of Dilla adjacent. So they did play a couple of Dilla Beats. That was, That was super nice. I enjoyed that. So that was cool. So he was at a jazz club. Oh, is this? Yeah. Yeah. It's perfect. He's a jazz pianist. Gotcha. But they do Would you say he's a big jazz pianist? He is pretty big.

[35:00]Yeah. He's a big jazz pianist. Wow. So that's super fun. I was trying to decide today, What do you guys feel about leftover Sushi? Because we ordered sushi for the Kids when we went out last night And then a little bit when I got Home last night and today I was Like, man, I'm not sure I should Even eat that leftover sushi. I'll tell you what, I'm not worried about it Texture wise. I am worried about it texture wise. Yeah. Getting that rice back to where It should be is tough stuff. It just does not taste as good To the point where it's almost Never worth it to try. Matt, what do you think? Leftover sushi? I don't eat sushi. So I have no idea. I am not a sushi guy. That's crazy. Russell, what about you? Well, I'm a non-leftover Guy. You guys know that. I don't eat at any leftovers, But I will see this On sushi. I'm even skeptical. The upstairs roommate went out. I don't know if it was Friends or family a few weeks Ago and brought some sushi Home. Yeah. And I was like, oh, I think I'm going to eat that. And I did eat it, but the whole Time I felt wrong. I don't even like sushi that's

[36:00]Come out of the restaurant. Yeah. That's fair. You like it like right at the Bottom. I want it to be eaten within Within like within eight Minutes of it. Yeah. Prepared. I mean, I do think that's How it's meant to be eaten, Right? I think that's actually how It's conceived, right? That's why Russell's like, do You know any of those places Where they serve it on the naked Women in New York? Because that's the only way I'll Eat it. It's the only way I'll come to New York, too, is if that's Proven. That's the only way he's coming To New York, if you find that. But actually, I want to say The other thing. Rob, could you also let me Know what weekends you're Going to be out of town Next spring? But I'm enjoying these good Vibes. Robert Glass for one of my Favorites. So it was really fun to see Him. And it was kind of like a year In the making. I super enjoyed it. It was actually, he does. I was hoping though he was going To. He covers Reckoner, Radiohead Pretty frequently. He does a great October. Actually, he does an October Residency at the Blue Note that He calls Rob Tober, which we

[37:00]Next obviously need to adopt Rob Tober. And I was hoping he was going To cover Reckoner in New York, the Blue Note. At the Blue Note in New York. Yeah. Wow. I hope they don't have a Metal detector because I do Celebrate locked over as well. So I had to combine those Two. So you're stuck. Yeah. While we're here. Literally. Since this is our Christmas Episode, we are of course full On Christmas music in Christmas Music. Wow. I've had a bit of a Knock myself too. Full on Christmas music in our House this year. And today was one of those Days where I was like, I Got to find something Different. I need to find, I'll Do Christmas tunes, but I got To switch it up. And I did hear a cover of All I Want for Christmas is You by My Chemical Romance. And I thought it was pretty Fun. Really? I hate kind of enjoying it. And I wanted to see, Want to see how you guys feel About it. I thought it was pretty fun. My Chemical Romance. I'm generally, Generally not into covers of This tune. But I kind of enjoy it. There is just one thing I Need. Aaron. Interesting. Yep. I don't care about the Presents. You should see what they

[38:00]Wear in those red Sweatsuits. See these guys in their Red sweatsuits, right? I don't even like Christmas That much. All right. They're doing by Evo Impression. I don't even like Christmas That much. They're doing by Evo Impression. I like to rub. I got a soft spot for these Guys. Like Wallace was into them For a minute. And I kind of enjoy their Music. I like this. Is it just, No. No, it's going to Rust. Is it just piano? Is it going to kick in? Is this going to rust? One, two, three, four. Yeah. This is awesome. Yeah. So this is my Contribution to the Christmas episode. Does this, Rosie, I mean, hearing something Like this. Is this, every great Band or successful band, Has a great singer, right? Yeah. I mean, like this guy's Clearly a great singer. Yeah. I'm trying to think of like Even like Chester Bennington And stuff like that. Oh, right. If you ever do some, Like, he is a great singer.

[39:00]Like, he's the top, Top 1% of Like singers in the world. So, like you just, You're not going to have A good band without a Great singer. Yeah. He's going to have a great Singer. No, you can't do it Because it, you, That's why some of these Bands we listen to are so Sometimes when you're like, Yeah, they can't really sing Because that doesn't exist Anymore. Like they just find a Singer. They'll put the pieces together. Yeah, you're right. I love this. Singing the hell out of this One. Hearing that is of course Only the second best. You know why it works? It's because it's, It's so different. Yeah. It's like the, It's the same song, But it's such a different Vibe that it works. If you just tried to mimic It, it wouldn't. Right. Then it's just like, Like others sing like Booplay, others have like Just three forward cover. It's whatever. This is the date My chemical romance Made this their, Their song right here. That's right. Now it's my chemical romance song. Are they on the list, By the way? No, I don't think so. I mean,

[40:00]They were so big, But I don't know if they Have an album. That's good. Now, Unfortunately Aaron, Then of course that is The best. This is the one I've been Playing around the house. My, My two kids had friends over To make gingerbread houses Today. So I had to play Back. Half two. I didn't name that tune The holiday. My chemical romance is 361. What? The, The black parade. Oh yes. Is that a bump back? I think so. If it is, We got to stop. All right. We can. I did a holiday. Name that tune. That can see how Back to you. 424. 424. That's this. All the way is better Than this is the last Couple months. So I don't know. I feel like we might have Stockholm syndrome. Like we're going to go And not do this for a couple Of years and we're going to Listen back. We're like, oh, this guy's Terrible, but we just, We've convinced ourselves He's not. Yeah. Last thing I'll say is I Had to play some holiday Tunes for my work,

[41:00]Virtual Christmas party or Virtual holiday party, Which is the worst idea Possible. And I just, I just could not, I was like, Can I play back to our Santa At work? I just, But I didn't, I really wanted to, I wanted to play back to Our Santa at work. I don't think so. No. That's it. That's a, How's it going with Russell? Excuse me. This is HR. I'm just asking this Question. Did you play back to our Santa at a work function? You did. All right. Thank you. That's it. Do you realize that he Only comes once a year as A note is a line that's Repeated a number of times During that song. And are you also the person That starts all your Meeting with two minutes of Mindfulness? I haven't done this for a While. I'm going to have to do it. Oh, I have a meeting on Monday. Oh my God. Your workers are mindless, Aaron. They barely have any mind. Mindful at all. Yeah. Their minds are blank. They're empty. Well, Speaking of full minds, Let's hear about, Let's hear from the mind of Russell. I'm going to need to go to

[42:00]The dating advice corner here. Oh my God. With the dating advice Corner. It might be more of a Holiday advice corner. First, First, Second, And we've got our dating corner With Russell. What kind of episode is this? It's great. It's more of an advice corner. Russell, what I would do is I Would wrap the ribbon around Your cock and balls. A lot of people make a Mistake and they're just Going around the wang. Don't do it. You got to do both. Thank you. That's been it for the Advice corner. I'm sorry, Russell. What now? What was that? Okay. Can I just explain? You have to put it around Your balls too. Because then it kind of Like then the bow faces Forward. The bow is just facing Straight up. Like if it's just on the Shaft, it's It's like a bow where you Got to pull the sticker off Like the cheap one or do you When you got to like Wrap and tie for real? Oh, I bet your Shit. Oh, your shaft hangs down. Oh, big brag. You know what I mean? So I was accused by the Upstairs roommate today of Kind of pulling a bait and Switch in terms of how How Festive I am because,

[43:00]You know, as know, I've Had a real live tree for The last few years and It's December 14th. And we have not gotten a Tree yet. And in my mind, I have said to the Upstairs roommate for a few Days, We can still get one. We don't have to have the Tree up for 25 days. The 12 days. I'm going to get your Advice. When is the last day I Could still get a tree And I don't need to Hear any Any crap about how Late we got the tree Tomorrow. Yeah. What? I'm taking like, I'm taking like the 17th Because that's like the Week before. She got a full week Before Christmas. So you can put it up. Listen, Russell, This just shows you what Fools these guys are. They're thinking about Numbers. What day next week Is Christmas? Is Christmas Thursday Two days after this Episode releases? Oh, it's like two weeks From now. Yeah. But it's on a Thursday, Right? I have no idea.

[44:00]Oh my God, you guys, I think it's on a Thursday. You have to buy the tree The Saturday before. That's when you Got to have a weekend With the tree And then you can get into Holiday season. You need to have at least One weekend. That's the key. There you go. That's a good one. Does it have to be up For the whole weekend Or can it go up Like on a Sunday Afternoon? It needs to be up. You need to Go up on a Sunday Afternoon. That needs to be Tomorrow. Yeah. It needs to be up For one Saturday Night before Christmas. Right. So Like why can't, If I'm lazy getting it, Why can't I just be a little Lazy keeping it up And then it's like The same timeframe? I'm not sure we're the right People to be Answering these questions. Yeah. Russell as a guy Usually adjudicating this At home. So one of the reasons I haven't gotten it, I think you guys remember Last year we bought the Tree that was kind of Sideways. It was a messed up Looking tree because Remember I went out And I just picked the First one. We took it. We left and this

[45:00]Was the tree that fell over When I was out of town. And I got a call from the Upstairs roommate Almost in tears. The tree had fallen. I said Throw a towel on the water And just leave it there. I'll, when I get back, We'll fix it or whatever. But and Rob told me I need to get one of These tree stands, Like a nicer tree stand Where you can clamp it Down with kind of your Foot. Like you use the foot Lever, right? And it does all the work For you. If your tree stand is Under $150, Get rid of it. It sucks nuts. You need to have one Of these lamps on the tree. It's more expensive. When you buy it, You should almost pass out. Like you should never, Ever tell how much you're Anybody, how much your Christmas tree stand costs. It should be that expensive. You should be embarrassed Of it. Yes, Russell. That's what you need. So you guys think I have to have it up By tomorrow or else That I should just Not get it or what? I think my next Thursday, Thursday, Friday, 17th, 18th. No, you can have it up Next Saturday. You need to get it ASAP, But tomorrow is Sunday. It feels like a good day To get a tree And put it up. It's so damn cold though, Aaron. You don't understand.

[46:00]Dude, it's 46 here. It's cold as shit. I get it. All right. One other thing I was not going to Ask you guys. I thought we could play a quick Minus seven in Minneapolis right now. No. Minus seven. Seriously? Okay. I'm going to show you that minus Seven is not getting tree, Getting tree. No, that's not. No, that's true. That's not leaving your house At all for anything. Russell, that's too cold To get a tree. No. Sorry. No tree too cold. You're not that guy Who lived in Alaska and lived There and made that Movie. That's not you. You're in the house. You don't have to go outside If it's below that. Grizzly man. Yeah. Now, Russell, let me ask you This. What if she comes home with a Tree? How we feel about that? Does she put it up on her Own or not? Russell's pick. Here's the one I picture In my head. Russell reading Hulk Hogan Magazine. Partner putting up tree, Getting mad about it Because Russell bought a Cheap stand. This is the one I have Russell right here. Star max. FHS. Select five Christmas tree. No.

[47:00]That's not how you read Amazon descriptions on this Show. Star max. FHS. Select five Christmas tree Stand patented LED level Indicator model two thousand Twenty two for tree height Up to four point five meters Christmas tree stand with Foot lever function and Single rope technology. What is the LED? What's the LED? It's I do not have the LED, but that is how much Water is in there. Now how much water is in The Christmas tree does Not concern me after I put It in initially. Initially fill it up. Hey tree. I'm going to give you lots Of water to where we're going To take good care of you as Soon as it's gone. That tree is done for. There is no more water Getting put in there. I am not getting down on my Fucking hands and knees to Water a tree inside of my House. I absolutely refuse. They got big tubes. You got like big funnels You can do Rob. If you're going to buy If you're going to spend Two hundred and twelve Dollars on a tree stand, You could spend six Ninety nine in minors to Get the funnel to Water. The problem is, man, Guess what? My permit is small. A lot of tube space. OK. Hard to keep the tubes Around in the apartment. Can't just have a big Watering tube for a tree. That's because it

[48:00]Guess what, man? I don't put water in the Tree. That's what you don't get Even if I had a tube. Water is not going in the Tree. How do you keep all those Christmas sweaters in such A small apartment? Yeah. Just crazy. I'm just going to ask Russell that if you see My wife over the holiday Break, do not ask that Question. OK, please. OK, that the number of Closets that we each Get is a point of Intention. OK. Is it equal? You get a closet? No, I have three And she has one. What? What? I have a lot of stuff. I have more stuff. OK. Oh. Aaron is looking at You right now. I have a lot of Stuff. I need space. I've got three Different suits. I've got I've got two suit jackets That are a joke.

Yeah, I see yeah job on Brussels go cheekbones collar bone. Oh, it's so great

[59:00]Oh, oh, I could not tell you how excited it was and then I did get my ass kicked there. It might surprise you Listen This is the episode we are covering two albums because number one it makes actual total sense These albums are kind of the end of Beatlemania and the beginning of the studio Beatles This is like Beatlemania to Beatle depression The second reason we're doing this is because Aaron Texas said please God we can't do two Beatles Yeah, I think if anybody would have pushed back It may have led to the end of the podcast like if somebody would have put their foot in the ground said no We have to do two Beatles episodes. We would have been like Sorry, I mean whatever I'm this is fully democratic But I felt like these are similar enough that we don't need to do this again in four weeks like it's very similar stuff It's great picture us Aaron. We just got back from Vegas You know what I mean? Our voices are trashed and then we're gonna talk about help

[1:00:00]It doesn't make any sense. I'm thinking about when we go to Vegas. We're taking a year I mean not mad, but some of us are gonna take a few days off of our lives But by doing this double album tonight, we're gonna take years off of the lives We're gonna do on this podcast. That's right. We're you know what? We're not gonna another week off Yeah, you're you're going you know what you're doing. You're going forward in time and saving us time It's I'm trying to do oh my god, sorry interrupted your intro though Can I tell you about this time Aaron? I had I was at the spice shop And it was I was trying to buy some and it was so wrinkly and I was like, hey, there's a wrinkle in this time In this time. It's not even what looks called See, please don't make that noise. That's the noise that I've talked to you about before don't make that noise No, yeah, I think a different story. I will say I didn't realize There's like a deadly recall on cinnamon What did you see that rap? No, you should know that before you go into a

[1:01:00]Spice shop. I should know that and also a spice shop is channel 99 and it's when I go into the spice shop It's so blurry. I can hardly see anything at the shop I could make out some things and I can hear everything which is actually turns out as effective be later as well When I proposed that I did not see how many tracks around both of these though So ground cinnamon recalled in 14 states over lead risk lead Yeah, see that I've been putting cinnamon in my protein powder. I should be fine That's free my protein powder heads out there who are talking about that lead recall they just had that's only the plant-based proteins Not that way. It's just so weird that with Trump present. We have so many lead recalls. Oh, well I'm not worried about it hard days night. My husband to fix it feels so we're talking about hard days night and help Hard days night is 63 help is 65. I think Hard days night is their third album and it's the first one. It's all original Beatles songs. Okay It's just like meet my bed in college. No covers whatsoever. You know It's all their own stuff. This is the absolute peak of Beatlemenia

[1:02:00]And what the Beatles did is they got so famous and so they said hey What do all rock and roll stars do when they get famous and the answer of course is cheat on their wife Make a movie. Oh We had different ideas there Make a movie which is so funny now because can you imagine like guns and roses being like all right? Time for us to make our Wild the mockumentary Rob where people are chasing us around like it's such a crazy idea But they looked at Elvis and said oh, he made all these movies. That's what we're gonna do So both of these albums are soundtracks to the movie kind of this album is recorded while filming the movie So this album almost all of these are three takes are under these songs They spent almost no time on these songs. They just hammered about But what you can hear here is a very very confident Beatles This is like Beatles like they've honed everything in Hamburg They've had a couple albums of covers. They've become big stars and they're feeling really confident about their musicality about their writing Now here's the crazy thing The capital has the Beatles contract in the US capital does not release the first three Beatles singles

[1:03:00]They do not release the first couple albums. They don't think a British band is gonna take off in the US So now United's artists makes this movie and they make the deal that if we make the movie our Record company United artists records gets the soundtrack to the movie So capital owns the Beatles they get all their music, but because it's a movie in a soundtrack United artists releases this Here a hard day's night in the US and immediately capital knows they've made a huge mistake They have to start releasing all the Beatles stuff that has backed up So fans in the US heard this album first and then all the other Beatles stuff later, which would be kind of wild And so Beatles basically then go out They get burned out they come out with a terrible album Who's ever heard of called the bridge Beatles for sale if I told you that Beatles had an album called the bridge Beatles for sale Would you think I was lying? Of course now a few things happen. They meet Bob Dylan

[1:04:00]They become more folk rock. They and then they start experimenting more in the studio You can kind of hear help as being kind of a proto rubber soul It's only a year later, but they're totally burned out. They're totally cynical is so much more musical Help has a huge bigger budget as it because it's another movie It's got a bigger budget and basically they were doing this well filming that again And now they're also doing that very cool stuff of lots and lots of drugs They're doing a ton of drugs combined with rather mysteriously. Okay, John Lennon feels that he is overweight So he's super depressed and so this whole album is kind of them Looking and hating the fame instead of writing it. I mean the first song on this album is Hard day's night on This first one and it's like they're bragging about how busy they are and then the second album is like we hate all this We just can't stand it The US Release of this I was reading this to Russell Aaron listen to the songs that are not on the US release Okay, this is how bad it is. We're doing the UK version the US release of help

[1:05:00]Does not have ticket to ride It does not have Yesterday What instead it has five instrumentals that the Beatles do not play on and They did that so you have to buy so then they put yesterday on a different album They put all these songs on different albums So you had to buy all these other albums that you couldn't buy You're the British could just buy one album and if you're in the US you had to buy all these different versions of help It's crazy after the help now we go to rubber soul revolver and then sergeant pepper Yeah, that's when they like really starts to So this what you're gonna hear here is we're gonna start with meet the Beatles not beat the Beatles Goddamn it hard days night, and then you're gonna hear them get a little more artsy on the second album So we're just gonna go do both these albums they fit in perfectly Hard days night. Do we do needles already? We did right, but that was like we did It was like a compilation when was weird yeah, because I think I did that beat the Beatles joke twice already in this Listen to this is this the most famous chord of all time listen. Yeah

[1:06:00]There's like scientists that do all this research to determine like what all instruments there are and what's playing what? Yeah, they can't really figure out there's a huge debate about what the court is all these different options, but it's It's just you know that this is rock and roll like to me. This is like this is the beginning of rock and roll in my head I know that's not true for a lot of reasons, but I mean listen to this. I should have known better Let's just I'll confident this song I mean, this is solid John on the first two. Yeah, I Don't know. I I've never looked up that stuff. I can't I can't recognize when they're younger All still sounds like a little bit like this like in the back of the throat Hello, you thought you'd hear more of me already. Wouldn't you? It's me Paul McCartney

[1:07:00]Hope you're having a wonderful Christmas time. Yeah, that's me Okay, that's about all I could say is that's me seems to get to be into the voice if I fell Lenin McCartney Did this at one microphone shoulder to shoulder picture that? You'd have to be right on to do that Aaron how hard did that be as a professional recording artist Right, and why would you do that? I don't know I mean, this is this would be crazy to hear at the studio. I mean, it's very sweet Happy we're doing this again three weeks from now Aaron. Are you negative about the Beatles about this?

[1:08:00]This was the only Beatles album on the list it would be like in the top 30. Don't you think a hundred percent? Yeah It's like the Beatles are like LeBron or Jordan's where Some years they feel like they got to give the MVP to Carl Malone or other guys And so they can't put all the Beatles albums in like the top 100 Right, would you put this in your personal top 100 of like albums you'd pick from the shelf and listen to? I don't know that because there's other Beatles albums that are better But if this one stood alone this would be way higher. The thing is there are so many I think there are good songs in this album, but there are some real junk There's some and part of it is that it's Beatles junk what I mean like it's Beatles junk So it's still better than a lot of junk, but it's like it's junk. However in this one listen to Paul McCartney's bass It's not just your normal pop bass and you kind of or portends. What's going to come up here? I have bought one Christmas present that is for my mom

[1:09:00]We are going to the Ames Theatre in Burnsville in January to see 1964 the tribute It is the tribute band that is doing the Beatles from like the 60s era. So I thought this is perfect timing for this That's perfect Is that a fun gift for your mom? That's you know what Russell that's that's an all-time mom gift for sure. She's gonna enjoy that time with you Yeah, I you know what and then they're gonna play like hey Jude everybody's like Yeah, that you're a little rocket raccoon bit from the last episode everybody go that's Rob's ride that it didn't stay I'm wearing the black mind and hills. I've decoded there live young boy named Rocky raccoon You know, I'm working on I'm working on it and now I It's actually much more terrifying to hear

[1:10:00]What are us in one ear Look at me. I'm joining you guys Hey, Rob, could you keep this moving along, please can't oh can't buy me love listen to this Patrick Dempsey Paul McCartney Records the vocals to this song first and they play the music after around the vocals. I just want you to picture that Not only great songs but like Where they are in the pantheon of rock and roll I mean this is being every single you could have the world's shittiest rock and roll museum Both of these songs are gonna be mentioned it You know, I mean like you can have a rock and roll museum where when people walk in

[1:11:00]They feel is really uncomfortable because it's just in your basement both these songs are in there Hey with your ticket you get some lotion to rub on the skin any time at all John said this is meant to be filler back then they need to have so much on the record so But then it ends up being a pretty good song. I kind of like it I Like this Man how familiar are you with this because we know you're you're probably the biggest No, I don't between you and Aaron the biggest Beatles fans Were you for were you familiar with this Beatles or do these have any interest you at all? I mean I was always familiar with it, right, but I think once Norwegian would came along that's kind of where I started The Beatles and then obviously Sergeant Pepper and the White Album was really that's my jam That's the one I know more than anything Aaron. What about you is it rocky? No, a lot of these I don't know I like this never grabbed me I remember I had past masters volume one on CD and that was all I knew of this era of Beatles

[1:12:00]So a lot of these I just kind of miss me. I never like I was mad. I started with rubber soul and Went from there I'll cry instead I'll tell you again my wife credit work on Friday not a text you want to get I Cried at work. You just know you're like my day is clocked. You know what I mean like my day is bad Shouldn't be crying at work Should be doing it unless you are a professional crier I'm not people hire you saying like if you're jumping she cried it's not yeah people hire you they oh you're a town crier oh I thought you'd be saying like here you said you're outside sobbing Rob if you were a professional crier, what would you think about to put you in the mood? Oh, I cry Every single time a video comes on of the veterans coming home to their coming home I cry every single time and you wouldn't think so because really what I'm thinking about is them getting on the airplane first

[1:13:00]You know, I mean like a hey look how fuckers. I'm gonna this airplane first. I'm in my I'm in my camel But I still it just makes me cry. What about you Russell? What's making you cry? I've talked about this before I like seeing when people Do well on like the x-factor or America's got to I like the videos of people who never got the chance coming up And seeing you in front of the big audience and killing it those types of things Susan Boyle makes you cream your eyes Is what you're so wow? That's what my dad calls crying. That's weird. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know Yeah, he goes son don't cream your eyes right now Stop looking at my Disco ball we'll cream your eyes out I told you're gonna cream your eyes out you'll cream your eyes out things we said today It's very funny this is

[1:14:00]Got double action cream your eyes out And we wrote this on a boat in the Caribbean Can you imagine being on a boat in the Caribbean and being like I better write it by your piece on it's crazy Well, we're gonna hear from Kanye in like two weeks. He's gonna say how you can be mad on vacation. That's that's that's Guess what Aaron you actually can be better vacation. I do it every time when I get home Okay, cuz some of your kids don't respect how much money you spent on these tickets You can't do that lot of filler here at the end And I'll be back I just want to show you real quick The American version of a Hard day's night might be one of the worst albums you've ever heard in your entire life

[1:15:00]Listen to what's on the American version that they came out with Okay on the US version It has a hard day's night and Then it and then it has one two three instrumentals which the Beatles do not play on Including a hard day's night the instrumental Terrible just an awful awful album. So then two years later I want you to listen to that Beatles like kind of pop Really like you can tell they've been working at Hamburg like I said now. This is the studio Beatles starting to emerge We've get help Guess what Aaron? Even just that like listen to this again. Listen to this again. I'm gonna push play. There's no delay I'm gonna push play in three two one Three seconds of silence. Oh, wow, that's just a little pace No other band is doing three seconds of silence. You put the needle down

[1:16:00]And you're like you almost instinctively would have to restart the records thinking you missed something Yeah, and then when they come in with that help it's almost shocking like it's almost like oh scares you and you're like It's moving and John Lennon hated the arrangement. No, I might surprise you He thought it he wanted to be much slower kind of like a Dylan style, but But Paula George said nope speed it up baby. Yeah. Oh, you can't go All right the night before This sounds like kind of like older Beatles again But he's playing a corner piano Russell a corner It's like a small piano Yeah, sometimes you have big horners and sometimes you have little pianist playing little Horner in it It's electric piano. That's not like a harpsichord. Sometimes listening to music gets me very horner

[1:17:00]Thanks for thinking Mason City great Jeff Horner former Iowa Hawkeye. Wow where you know where I'm gonna go later Jeff Horner's neck. I'm gonna say right now. You got to hide your love away Did Lenin this is one of the only songs of Lenin recorded in a room by himself. Listen to what a big step forward this is from the last album Yeah, this is the bridge to River solar revolving to the wall and you think they've met Dylan you think they talk to Dylan You think they were listening to Dylan during this time. This is across the universe. This is digipani Later, but I mean you see this as the Dylan song. Can I just rip off the songs on rubber soul? Yes It's overrated. I'm just let me listen to the song Drive my car Norwegian wood. You won't see me. No where man. Thank for yourself a word Michelle What goes on girl? I'm looking through you in my life. Wait

[1:18:00]I needed someone run for your life Is that much better than these albums or not? Oh There's like some killers I think it's a killer's on these though, too. There's some killer I mean all those songs so you first of all baby, you can drive my car I think it's an all-time song. I love that song that tax man do my favorite. I need you George this is his first writing song on a written song on an album He's using a volume pedal on his guitar the pedal that all changes to the volume That's how you get that phase It's like the pedal I'm gonna use on my Christmas tree tomorrow, right Rob 100% the volume pedal because it has a little bell that it dings when it's nice and tight It's really nice This is the first guitar effect ever on a Beatles album Another girl guitar playing by Paul McCartney on the rockabilly. Yeah

[1:19:00]But even this you can hear it's not that classical like pop structure Even what they're doing right here I love it. You're gonna lose that girl They wanted to sound like Motown your big Motown fans Might strike you and then it's not quite as funky Or Rob, have you ever done anything back in your single days to lose that girl or not? Oh Yeah, be me. I don't know be me. You know, just kind of doing you No, I like I've said before I was doing a lot of the dumping I'm kind of like a draw more the dumper than the dumped. Yeah. Yeah, once you get a taste to me

[1:20:00]You need it. I'm like nuke and Robocop to Lisa your nickname was big Rob. Don't Yeah, I've done my fair share of dumping What was your dumping style Not good. It was pretty much think of the worst things you could do like you like ghost. Oh No, pretty much the opposite make someone feel bad about themselves. Nope dump them and then lead him on. Oh And then kind of like crumb it can be bread crumbing. Yeah, I was going to Hansel and Gretel on the mass Yeah Hansel and Gretel except there they Okay, can I I'm gonna cut this out, but I'll just say this it's Hansel and Gretel But there was the oven and my was like Hansel and Gretel. What you know They what's Hansel and Gretel, I don't even know what that is That's where the witch puts the kids in the oven. So I'm still not sure how I'm following I've got to edit all that out except for where Russell says what's Hansel and Gretel. It sounds like Rob stuck around for

[1:21:00]Potential benefits afterwards It would be kind of like if you got fired from your job, you're like this job is the worst I want to quit this job so bad. Then just everyone's mother. Can I have a little dental, please give me some dental Come on Remember when you gave me dental before how great that was we could just do a little dental right now Nobody has to know my HSA is so low My HSA is built. No, my HSA is built up so high if I don't get rid of some of this HSA I could get hurt It's not gonna carry over that were you ever the dumpers? You better dump her a little bit of column a little bit of Colby I probably got dumped more than I dumped other people, but I also I Could never ever like do what Rob did and like lead people on after I knew that I was done with them Kind of a thing like I just I couldn't it's it's like when there's a stray dog

[1:22:00]You have to throw rocks at it to get it to go away. She'll wait for me. Oh my god. Don't follow me anymore I hate you. I never loved you So no, I saw if I was ever like in a relationship usually I was the one they got dumped. Yeah dumped Dumped how about you Russell? What was your dump style? Oh? Ooh If I was doing the dumping. Yeah. Oh I would try to be as straightforward as possible in a nice way. Yeah Does that I wouldn't want to be on the other end of eating Rob's dirty old breadcrumbs, right? I'm with you have to edit that part out Russell. We already talked about this and so Aaron Let's how about you and what do you think of your wife's dumper? To be fair Aaron gave it a big thumbs up when I asked the question Take it to ride. You only like I don't really like calling it a dumper like that Just I don't either. I don't enjoy that and

[1:23:00]It'll be a bummer if you did enjoy that. Yeah, come on It's Thursday. You know what I get to do on Thursdays. Oh Talk about your sick dumper. Oh Take it to ride This is crazy and listen to the drums Not at all what you think the drums of the other song This is one of those like there's those videos on social media where it's like What if we switched up the beat and like this is a fun one where you realize like the counterfactual is if he had done a straightforward Whatever beat drummers call it My night event is exciting This is also one of those songs to where if you ever do karaoke so much slower Yeah, this is way slower than I ever thought it was way slower. It's very small sleepy. Yeah, is that? Every other cover of it is like double speed Act naturally this of course is a buck owing song

[1:24:00]This is Ringo singing though, but this is every time now I hear a Ringo song This is fun. I think of Matt's advice of karaoke do a Ringo song. I think it's brilliant There's a fun song man. It's a great song. I have a bit where I play we play a certain game I play Yellow Submarine by the Beatles everybody sings along everybody can sing Ringo songs Yeah, I'd like to be One of the last covers they ever did after this album no more covers ever for the rest of the Beatles existence. It's only love Lenin hates this one But he put his acoustic guitar through a Leslie organ thing that spins around so this sounds kind of wavy gravy That was the thing between them and Dylan where Dylan thought they were saying I get high and Holds your hand, but they're actually I can't hide right Dylan's like I can barely understand these guys

[1:25:00]So I wonder if they went back and said yeah, we're just gonna put I get high right on the record Oh, I like me. You like me too much. This is George Martin on piano George Martin played on both these albums that we've done the other fifth producer. Yeah It's it's it's amazing when the Beatles got to where Matt likes it. They all of a sudden got a much better piano player This is a So it sounds so much like the old Beals tell me what you see this is recorded in six takes Some of these you let me take your heart. I like the Beatles when they had full ass control When they were like, hey, this song sucks nuts. It's not on the album. Get this shit out of here. We're just putting on hits Am I wrong did they always

[1:26:00]Yeah, it's like when you read Moby Dick and you realize he was paid by the word That's why he's just repeating shit over and over like I fucking read Robinson Crusoe And they tell the whole story and then they tell it again. I was like fucking scam man Artic author scam I've just seen a face They thought the song was so good capital that they yanked it off This is an album when they released it the US they put it on a separate album It's the opening track of the US version of over soul You guys might not realize the reason our fans probably recognize this is because one of our favorite artists actually performed this Artist that was heavily influenced by the Beatles. It was back Actually performed this at the pita 35 anniversary gala in 2015 with Paul McCartney. Wow This

[1:27:00]It's crazy that whoever filmed this They were like, hey, I'm gonna set my phone camera to six pixels. We're gonna use exactly six pixels We don't want this to be to HD. This is the opposite of HD. This is DH So Rob, you were trying to drive my car There is a better version of Beck and Paul McCartney singing drive my car at the same concert But this is the only one I can find of I've just seen a face But back stocked about how the Beatles were huge influence on him and actually Paul McCartney has talked about how he really appreciates back to it at one point He made a good line. You like this Rob when he performed with back He said I'm sorry. We didn't get a play back in the USSR or get back or paperback writer Oh So when it comes to an appreciation for the Beatles and the Paul McCartney appreciation for him Who did it better Rob back did it better? You can't kind of tell why John Lennon would get pissed after a quote like that, don't you? Like he's just fucking around all the time saying stuff like Beck in the USSR

[1:28:00]Like you know, he has that like in a little notebook and he's looking at it John Lennon's just like god damn It's not making those little jokes like that Yesterday Maybe you've heard it. How revolutionary is this song? I mean You compare this to these the Beatles songs that sound like the old Beatles songs. It's like Russell this song is on the White Album. Would you believe me? That's what I was gonna say. I feel like this song could be on any Beatles album at any era. Was it because of the strings? It is the first one they ever had outside instruments on It was the first time they had a quartet in there Definitely, I mean obviously from this If this version is an A plus, what's the voice to bend version? Let's say this is an A. What's the voice to bend version? We better check this out. What do you think, Aaron?

[1:29:00]I think if you started a podcast that involved boys to men you could almost have as much luck as we do Honestly, it comes up a lot. I don't think you could improve on the original, but I mean I feel like it's like a B plus. I'm sure I'd like you guys know what? Yeah Now do we dare go into the comments voice to men comments, I bet are pretty sad So it's too slow and it's a little too Breathy is Dude, it's 90s toy was very simple and that's the that's the best part about it This might be a be minus Russell. Let me ask you this is this a cappella at some point the deep bass finds here it comes There he is Whatever happened?

[1:30:00]Don't don't look it up Make you sad So, okay, so if the first one's an A this might be a B mine I might be a B minus this I might go get a beard during this Russell You know what this was probably the most disappointing voice of men song I've ever pulled From my memory You're right, man. It's very breathy. Here's a comment from 14 years ago best man band ever That's man band. It's like a boy band, but they're men obviously listen to those voices Not many sad comments on there. They became men Russell that's a rare voice to men miss. Hey, I'm not gonna lie now You might say to yourself. Wow. What a perfect way to end now I'm wondering if all the voice to men stuff isn't good like pull up Motown feely real well Russell come on Russell, I just I wouldn't expect that to be like that Russell, this is like that scene in

[1:31:00]Man on like number 498 They're on the list aren't they? This is like that scene in boogie nice where he looks at his huge penis and tells himself He is good enough. You know what I mean 490 for 95. This song is good. Okay. This is good. Yeah This might be better than the Beatles yesterday. I'm gonna say that right now Okay, thinking about Okay, let me ask you this Which one of these songs can you bump and grind to better? This one baby By the way Russell, what color hats are they wearing on the cover of this album red? Did Fred dirt steal it from voice to men? Oh Okay Some to think about probably the third most famous red hats now is these boys to men cover It's a wild collection of hats Yeah, we got okay

[1:32:00]We've got the white one to find red hats. That's better. Do you think this must be a red socks hat, right? I think it's white socks. That's white socks, but it's a red hat mind blowing Then we've got st. Louis Cardinals. That makes sense. Then we have the Sixers stretch It makes sense. They're Philadelphia Then this fucker on the left Nicker is the biggest you could just tell this guy is fucking lame This is the Melvin of the group. This guy is the fucking Melvin. He is wearing an NBA entertainment hat On the cover of their fucking album This guy got laid over this album more than anything else in his entire life And he is wearing a NBA entertainment hat on top This is a hat that your grandmother gets you and you're like, oh, thanks grandma You're so mad about it. This guy's fucking wearing it on the cover Matt and Russ thoughts about the NBA hat What you get that for your upstairs roommate? What's she thinking? She is a big NBA fan and she might like it. Wow

[1:33:00]We watched okc spurs. We enjoyed it tonight in the tournament in the That's fun in season tournament kind of I'm gonna miss that one. Sorry The Emirates Cup Robford. I watched last thank goodness last night. Did you watch the Wolves last night Rosie? How did it turn out last five minutes? I mean the wolves win. Yeah, they look good, man Yeah, I know Rudy go bear was dunking machine. Is it really the Emirates Cup? Yeah What the fuck can you imagine? Imagine waking up John Wayne and tell him the NBA is playing for the Emirates Cup My god He died of that throat cancer all over again the Duke Okay, dizzy miss Lizzie. By the way yesterday. What a great way. We've never seen a John Wayne movie Never I mean you guys Seen a few actually I did see the original true grit and I kind of like it

[1:34:00]Yeah, there's some good ones Russ Russell some of his like Anything with drifter in the name watch that one. He's drifting around shooting people So then the Clint Eastwood thing Yeah, that's more of a the Clint Eastwood. He's also a drifter. There's a lot of drifters in the Old West They're kind of the same guys. What Clint Eastwood one that I just watched. I really enjoyed anyway dizzy miss Lizzie Crazy song to put on after yesterday Sounds it almost sounds like we're doing a whole loop back to the other album, right? Like again, just listen to this song on the UK version Is on after this one what the fuck what world are we living in? What is going on Aaron? Why are we doing this podcast? It's a disaster Okay, because I like talking to you guys Is this the start of the conflict like Paul's got this great ballad and John's got to have another one at the end Is this it might be conflict here, right? Oh, but there's one thing we can't have a conflict over that So much we love the ratings system

[1:35:00]Okay, there's one thing that will never tear us apart. It's our love of the ratings system Yeah, the Beatles they're good the music good whatever we don't care these two records Right by each other on the list All the way up at 290 Something 292 and 295 some someone at Rolling Stones should have had some editorial power to not do this Right, you can put all the Beatles albums you want you can't put to It's almost like they didn't expect people to closely look at the list It's almost like they didn't think anyone was gonna do a podcast Doing this to country Lee and it's probably not great to actually analyze the number of hours of my life that I've devoted to This list only to have two Beatles albums within three of each other It's it's the dumbest thing of all time, but guess what we've made the most of it Okay, and just like the most of it if you think this album

[1:36:00]Okay, is better than most of the other albums. It should be higher up on the list It got boned Okay, and you have to guess what you have to rank both these albums at the same time I'm not letting you rank twice. We don't have enough time Okay, or is this album does it make you groan? It's a rolling groan with this album should not be about the so high on this list listen There's a lot of good Beatles albums We've already heard them should even the Beatles have more than three albums on this list So I'm gonna think about or is this perfect here. It's rolling. Well tone. What do you think Matt rolling? Well bone rolling groan or rolling it groan Well, you told me I can't do it, but I'd like to do it. I'd like to help as a rolling Groan should be higher on the list rolling bone should be higher in the list Which means it has a lower number and a hard day's night should be Lower on the list, which means it has a higher number So that's rolling groan but Because you need me to vote for both of them. I'm just gonna say this is rolling. Well tone I think help that's what I think of the Beatles

[1:37:00]Like the early stages before getting to rubber soul and then sergeant pepper and white albums stuff like that I I think of this is the start of the Beatles and I think this album in itself listening to help Ticket to ride And then yesterday I mean there's a couple more in there missing But yesterday is just it's an unbelievable song. So I think that one should be way hardless the rolling. I'll rolling Well toned these both of them are great right here Right Rosie way think really well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan. That's right Putting these two and you're right putting these two so close together as a rolling groan Help has Hide your love away and Yesterday Act naturally is super fun. I'm not sure what help is doing down here So far below other things and below hard days night. It makes no sense. So the whole idea is a rolling groan to me

[1:38:00]Russell, what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan a hard days night by the Beatles and help by the Like these guys said I just not a big fan of them being so close to each other But it's the Beatles man. They're they're huge for a reason everyone looks to the Beatles is One of the greatest bands ever so to me I can handle You know, we said this like with the BC boys. I like the BC boys. I enjoy their music I thought three was too much for them But the Beatles are on a different level, but this is the LeBron This is the Michael Jordan type level where they need to have more MVPs than one or two They've got to have six or seven MVP awards But let's just I'm gonna go through the list real quick Abby Rhodes at five revolvers at 11 sergeant peppers at 24 the Beatles Is that 29 rubber souls at 35 so they've got one two three four five in the top 35 And then we get meet the Beatles and then we're here at a hard days night at 263 and then 266 help and then the final one is let it be at 342. That's a lot

[1:39:00]That's a lot. We just did the sixth and seventh Beatles album on the list. Yeah Yeah, yep, and both of these are that much further ahead and let it be Jesus Seventh and eighth Rob seventh and there doesn't need to be this much pre-1964 Beatles to me. Like I I like to help I like I think it's interesting to put these together because you see how much better help is and where the Beatles are going but yeah That's that's it. No, there's a question. Here's a question. Yes Pick either of these albums. What's better this or Kraft work? Pick the one you like least. Oh Hell both of these albums are better than Kraft work. I mean for sure Well, like better or what I'd rather listen to I mean, it's greater. What's what's on the list higher? Well, only one was sampled by Africa by Bada. Wow, it's true. Which one? Kraft work Listen unfortunately you guys are in here's the other thing. What about this or like the John Lennon solo albums? I

[1:40:00]Would take the one in solo album. I would take over this I Don't I just I I really did not care for a hard day's night I just didn't care for it. It's if you put help by itself I think it should be up probably 50 spots 100 spots I we've had so much Beatles and the other Beatles albums are so much better than this one I think I just they're just so much better, but unfortunately you guys are incorrect Shit not these albums get a rolling all grown Yeah, we start to see the Beatles become the Beatles that and stop being the Beatles You know, I mean like they're they're not they're they're becoming so famous They got burned out and they got so famous They got burned out and they questioned if the time they're putting in to this project They were working on together the four of them if it was worth it It was straining their friendships They could see things that they were eventually going to start doing more and more drugs and break up It's a good thing. We never got famous or that could be us I mean like that

[1:41:00]So close to that half luckily we're not even can't happen to us. We're fine next week It's time to check out that poster of the naked ladies on your wall with the other covers painted on him It's the album with five songs This next album is five songs that makes me wish we were there right now wish you were here by pink With eight Back did it better. Come on. Remember when we used to have that high deductible plan It's time It does come in valuable Rob if you accidentally cream your eyes out this Christmas

[1:42:00]Come on. I cream my eyes out. I need vision
