The Minutemen: Double Nickels on the Dime (1984)

[00:00]Okay, so I think we're good. I think we're just gonna start. I think we're doing this raw voice. This doesn't look right, does it? Yeah, closing the laptop while recording seems like a bad move. You just put that open just for us, just to make sure that we... No, I gotta look at the levels here. You guys, he's concerned about sound quality. The only problem is I don't have my intro stuff. Rob, you gotta put your microphone up to your mouth. I don't have my call production, Rob. I do have my intro stuff. Okay, okay, now I'm ready. Got on my phone. I'm ready. Okay, I'm looking at all these. Do you do this at the beginning of your comedy bits

[00:31]where you fumble around for, like... Yeah, my thing is my wife. I mean, my first wife. You know what it is, guys? Everybody's like, oh, they feel bad for me. They give me a pity laugh. 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 make this podcast. Listen, we gotta go. Aaron literally is going to a basketball game. We're sitting in a hotel room, okay? A bunch of cool dudes, all right?

[01:01]With cool stuff. And I had to... Do you know how many condom wrappers I had to move off the seat before I sat down? I don't know what Russell was doing in here last night. By the way, I'm looking Aaron in the eyes. When I say that, I don't like it. We are live to tape in Las Vegas. We are recording right now. I'm sure this isn't going to work out, but we got to figure it out. This will be great. So we are in a hotel room. We could not find... Just let everybody know the stress is here. We could not find the Do Not Disturb sign for the door. And the person is right out there. So if she comes in, she is on the podcast. If she comes in, just to let you guys know, it will be a murder-suicide.

[01:30]We will all just be dead in here. Okay? And then second of all, Aaron has to go to a basketball run in like 30 minutes. Yep. Okay? We have not prepped for this episode. We are not ready. But guess what? It's a punk episode. It's the Minutemen. We don't need to prep. It's not in the spirit to prep. It's DIY. My peas are popping. My p-p-peas are popping. This results in a text, Jane, that... Screw you, music. Screw you, the order. Let's make it a podcast. We are far from... I can't go back. And we promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own. Unless you disagree.

[02:00]Please sit back and enjoy. Beck did it better. Live from Las Vegas. Oh, my God. We are all the way up to album 263. Oh, no, wait. Now I'm reading the other episode. I forgot that I didn't prep one for this. Guys, we are all the way up to album 266. Nice. And we've got Double Nickels on the Dime by the Minutemen. Okay? And I've got three guys here. I've got some guys. Okay? Who, if they're in my room this morning, they'd know that craps is more than just a game. I've got... Matt in Las Vegas.

[02:30]Matt, how are you doing today? Rob, glad to be here. I've got Russell out in Las Vegas. Russell, how are you doing today? Rob, I'm a cesspool. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wow. And I've got Aaron. Now, Aaron recently told me that his wife told him that their relationship is the opposite of John Lennon. How's that? She gets no yoke-o's. She gets no o's. No o's. Yeah, instead of...

[03:00]Instead of oh no's, it's no o's. That's what it was. Okay. That's what the joke was. Instead of oh no, she gets no o's. I nailed it. You do that to Aaron's face is incredibly uncomfortable for me. Watch this. I'm going to touch his leg when I say it. I don't like that either. Leaned in a little bit, too. His leg is so hot. He's ready for basketball by the way. It's hot in here, yeah. I had to turn off the AC. Oh, then we've got to move. We've got to move. Let's go. Let's go. You know what we're going to do? We're going to take all this stuff. We're going to go down to the Starbucks. We're going to go down to the lobby.

[03:30]We'll continue. We had that idea. All right. So first, let's get into... Well, we don't have a voicemail. Wait. You know what? I could play a voicemail if you wanted me to. Is it Vegas related? It's not Vegas related. Save it. All right. It's not Vegas. Well, how about this? You know what? It's real perfect right here. Fuck, I forgot I got to change my compression shorts. I don't want to hurt my balls. I can't, Aaron. Please. You got to get activated. Get activated. While we were walking over here last night, while Rob's pulling that up, I was talking, I think,

[04:01]with Rob. Maybe it was Aaron. You know the guys who give out the tickets, they snap the cards for the ladies of the night, the strippers, those guys? I was wondering, do you think in the history of the world anyone's ever gotten one of those tickets and ended up being married to the ticket they got? One time. One time. This is the voicemail. Over, under, zero and a half. It has to have happened just once. It's like, you know what? How did you and Luna meet? You'll never believe it. I saw her face looking at it and to be right. Next to $200 on a card.

[04:30]Yeah. And I knew this was the girl I was going to marry. That was the number I had to call. Now, the other girl on the card, because it was one of the cards I really like. Now, of course, I have been collecting those cards. Now, just to let everybody know, in Las Vegas, they are handing out cards of nude women on the street with the smallest of stars over the nipples. Just the smallest stars, so it's not quite. The faintest. Listen, pornography is like the craps. I know it when I see it. You know what I mean? And that is as close as you could possibly get. The stars are so small. Yet, it's so great.

[05:01]But yeah, to end up marrying that person, then. Yeah, it's got to be over under zero and a half. What do you think? Oh, over. The answer is zero. No? Those girls don't exist, Russell. You think they're all AI generated? No, I think that they're like, they're probably all dead, Russell. It's like when you see a dog in an old movie, you know, and you just kind of watch it, and you're like, well, that dog died a long time ago. I don't think those women on the cards are the women that are going to show up. But maybe you could. Do you think you really? Do you really request them by name on there?

[05:30]I would imagine. Okay, Aaron's raising his hand. He wants to answer. Aaron, I'm not going to let you for the sanctity of our marriage. All right, let's get right into our roll-in. The other thing, you think there's like, you know how baseball cards have had a renaissance in the last five, six years? You think there's like an active market for those cards? Like, what's the Honus Wagner Tidy Star stripper card? Oh, my God. I got the Misty Holographic. Yes. You know what I mean? It's got a little slice of fabric on there. I know what it is. It smells great, though. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, for sure.

[06:00]What do you think? They have like a misprint? Yes. Yeah. Error. Guys, this would be a PSA 10, but it's been snapped so many times. It's the one that says fuck face on it. That's for all our true baseball cards. Here's what we should do next year, is we should make cards of the four of us, nude, okay, with the tiniest stars over our junk, and then we stand out on the street and hand those out, and people are like, hey. It's just me, like, picking up the cards. I'm picking up my shoes.

[06:30]You know what I mean? I'm bending over, feeding the dog or something, and they're just like, what? Staring deep into your asshole. Who would you get to snap them and hand the cards out? Joe. For me, St. Paul. It's Joe all day. He's good. I don't know if you guys have seen that action. He's pretty good at that. He was on his way. We got a picture taken by us last night of Peter that I thought was absolutely fantastic. It might be the ultimate picture. I haven't seen it yet. We ever had, oh, my God, it looks like we're like Mount Rushmore. It's the greatest picture. This guy can do no wrong.

[07:00]That's exactly what we're doing, except instead of us facing the camera, we're all bending over, feeding the dogs about the same time. So if somebody calls in, leaves a Baxter or whatever, you'll send them the pic. How about that? 100%. We need some calls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we actually have lots of voicemails. I just can't pull it up on my phone right now. We don't know what speaker Rob's phone is playing to right now. So that picture, that could be used for the card. You know how the new thing, too, is they'll have, like, they've got Babe Ruth's autograph. I found the same card with, like, Kobe Bryant or

[07:31]something like that. Like, this would be the ultimate card of the four of us autographed. Oh, yeah. Auto, auto. Yeah, well, I would auto-ped it. Yeah, I don't have time to sign my own cards. I'm doing it so much. You know what I mean? Listen, rolling on. Aaron, how's it going with you? And please tell us what the fuck you're doing next, which is the craziest thing I think that I've ever seen somebody do in Vegas. It's going great. It's going great. Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 46 yesterday. Happy birthday. Thank you. And you guys were awesome. I got to say, everybody showed up and showed up. We went. We went out hard on Saturday night.

[08:00]Except for Joe. Last night. And Steve. We had two no-shows. I mean, that's load management. Like, everybody. That's true. You got to, like, pace yourself now. Especially with having a roommate. Yeah. You got to pace it. You know what I mean? Is he going to be playing poker tonight? Yeah. It would really help me get to sleep. The tough thing with Aaron as a roommate, you never know what the fuck that guy's going to do. Like, he could be playing basketball, or he may be walking in that door any second. Yeah, unpredictable. But yes, I did. So I talked to you guys about what I was going to try to do. For my fun, special outing in Las Vegas.

[08:31]And I found a place called Atlas Hoops. And they run open runs. There's a special MLK Day run today. Shout out to everybody who's thinking about the world and how your place is in it. And I signed up for this run from noon to two. They got 15 guys. It's eight-minute games to 21. This is very organized fun. Very organized fun. Winter stays on, probably. Winter stays on. Is there a way you can see, like, how good everybody is? Like, is there a B-line? No. So this is the concern.

[09:01]I told these guys, like, if I show up, it's like, they're going to be 15. They'll just split it up evenly. Yeah, hoping so. But if I show up and it's like, I mean, the game's at 12. I'll be back here by 1225, if it's not looking right. Now, Aaron, what are we thinking? When are we thinking? Are we thinking ice in the veins? Yeah, I have been thinking about that. Are we thinking the long, what's going to be our celebration? I'm generally so relieved if a shot goes in that I forget to celebrate. But if I hit a game winner, it's got to be ice in the veins, right? Oh, my God. Ice in the veins. I think it's slapping the tickets.

[09:30]It's the ticket move. That would be so good. So, Aaron, how do you get the nuts up to go do this? I would be so embarrassed to go do it. I mean. I might be embarrassed. It's just like, it was like, this is what I didn't, you know, I haven't played hoops at home now for a few weeks because it's been raining and it was gone yesterday. So I was like, I want to get a run in. I found this thing. I read the blog post about it. It seems like it's a cool deal. So I'm going to check it out, man. No, Aaron. But here's the problem. Have your lungs been abused in the last couple of days? Do you feel like you're going to be able to run? Yeah, that's my concern because my number one skill in basketball right now as a 46-year-old is playing hard.

[10:02]I can play hard. Yeah. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that today. So I don't have any skills if it's not playing hard. So we'll see how it goes. But the good news is that even if the worst thing happens, you take a shot, it misses, you try to get the rebound, your pants fall off, you fall into a garbage can, a woman comes out and takes a picture of your butthole, posts it on the website. Puts a little star over it. You can at least never go back there again. So you know, like, you're kind of immune. It's kind of like a superpower. Don't. I don't know if these people are ever going to see you again. That's right. What is the ideal scenario for you today?

[10:32]Like, is it to be the fourth best player on the team and compete and have a good workout? Like, what's the realistic best case? The ideal scenario is to play for two hours, maybe be on a team that wins a game, make one shot, and turn the ball over infrequently as possible. Now, you've got a ride coming in like 30 minutes, right? That's right. You're keeping an eye on the time? I've got an eye on the time. All right, so we're going to go over it. What am I going to do with my microphone when I leave? Oh, just turn it off. Put it there. Just trust me. Don't worry about it. And you know what? The other thing is, you're going to see little cameras around here.

[11:02]That's totally for the podcast right now. I'm not going to activate those anytime later, so don't worry about that, okay? And I know one is right over there by the dog food bowl. Just ignore that one. That's for research purposes only. How's it really going with Matt? Good, good. Russell, thank you for reminding me to bring my pillow. I have slept like a baby. Oh, my God. The pillows here are so big. I thought of Matt so much. The pillows are absolutely... They're absolutely fucking gigantic. I feel like I'm trying to sleep on a castle. Yeah, but I totally forgot about it.

[11:32]Two things. I've traveled so much for work that I forgot. Normally, I just park. Company pays for parking at the airport or whatever, so I was just going to drive up, and Sarah goes, well, who's giving you a ride to the airport? I'm like, shit, I've got to figure out how to get to the airport. So Sarah gave me a ride. It was very nice of her. But then I was going to just carry on like a very light bag. She gave you a ride in shitty weather, I believe, that night, too. Very, very bad. That's commitment. Right. But I totally, totally forgot. Totally forgot about my rule. Two days at some place, you bring a pillow. It's been great.

[12:00]It's been wonderful. So I thank you, Russell, for reminding me. You bet. Brilliant. I got to fully experience a layover. My flight got delayed by about an hour, and I realized I don't get, and maybe you guys don't get to see, I don't get to experience a delay at an airport because I'm either, one, traveling for work, so I can't have a couple beers and then show up for something at work, or I'm with the family, and I'm not getting drunk with the kids kind of a thing, or I'm coming home from work.

[12:30]So if I'm leaving, you know, I'm in Dallas or something, I'm coming home, like, I know that I got a three-hour flight, and then I got to go be in dad mode. So I never, ever, ever get to fully experience, like, a delay at the airport. So I had the biggest, I had a 22-ounce hazy IPA at some bar at the end, which I don't, you know, which just got me completely tanked. So I just took a nice nap on the plane. I was wondering, because some of the texts you were sending, I was like, what is going on here? I was like, what is going on here? I was like, I realized you'd had the beer before. I was like, okay. I realized that, too. Could you please put the star over that next time before you send that text?

[13:02]Yeah. Hey, guys, here's me in the pet relief area. What? No, but I did realize that, too, because all of a sudden I'm just texting. I'm just texting, texting, texting. By the way, you know, the other day I said it would be really hard to have sex in a cold plunge. Like, that would be a challenge. I can tell you number two on the list is the pet relief area of the airport. If you're getting slammed in the pet relief area, you are a stud. I don't know if you guys have ever been in there just for fun. No. I know you don't travel. With your dog. Okay, first of all, don't do it. It's not fun. Okay? Because if you go into a room, it smells like what Carnival Court smelled like

[13:33]the first night we were there, where you just recognize right away, it's like, oh, this is a ton of piss in here. And it's like on the... And plus, it turns out you have to have a dog when you go in. Otherwise, they get really mad if you use the bathroom. And it doesn't matter how much you spray it down with a hose afterwards. They get really mad. It's that artificial turf. Yeah, oh, yeah. Yeah, they're like, why is there so much corn in this artificial turf? All right, man, keep going. No, that's about it. We're going to get moving. Moving for Aaron. So rolling, going. Russell, how's it going with you? Rolling, going. I think we're getting old.

[14:00]Yes. This trip has been, I guess, there's been a few things that have made me know that we're getting very old. What's that? Number one that jumps out is we now have guys on the regular that are just taking the nights off. We're here three days, and we've had Peter took a night off on day one. Yep, deservedly. Joe and Steve took a night off on day two. And you know what? Rob kind of took a day off. He just drank Diet Cokes last night. He did? Well, I did. I did miss the end of the Rams-Bears game, taking a nap up in my room. Okay? Yes.

[14:30]That was a good one. That was some load management. Yes, load management. But so we have people that are now missing large chunks of this, not to go play basketball, but just to sleep. It sounds like the bad guys in the Goonies. Yeah. They were missing large chunks. There you go. Again, that's not junk. That is sloth. That is sloth. Hey, but I've implemented a rule the last couple of years that no drinking while the sun's up. For me, personally, it's been the greatest thing in the world. Can I ask you a question, though? Yeah. How can you tell when the sun's up here? Every time I go outside, it's dark.

[15:01]I'm shocked. I'm stunned. That's the greatest thing. Like, I don't. John, for me, dying, has finally said, we were playing blackjack. He goes, you're not drinking. I go, well, no, I can't, because, you know, you called me out. So just wait until somebody calls you out on it, and then it's pretty good. So I think the big reason I know we're getting old, though, is not that people are taking the breaks. It's that now we are all understanding of people taking a break. Yeah, that's true. Like, there's no part of us that's going to go give Joe real shit about not showing up last night. None. Well, I mean, I did go up and, like, put a bunch of shaving cream on his face and put his hand in a bucket of hot water, but that was about it.

[15:31]No, because, I mean, and I think that happened before when we had a friend here. The pleasure principal was here. He was gone for a whole day, and we're just like, oh, he's in heaven. He's in a dad spa where you're just doing whatever you want. It's like, oh, I'm in a whole. He's watching Draft Day or something like that. Again. 100%. No, it's just, I mean, because this is a day away from everybody. If you want to take it, take it. That's been always the great thing about this trip. We get to do whatever we want, so yeah. But we are getting old, Russell. The other reason I know we're getting old, and Rob started this last year,

[16:02]we are no longer typically playing live table games. We are playing video games. Like, we're playing, Rob has been playing bubble craps now for two years straight. Well. And you've brought a lot of people into this world with you. Like, I would say six to seven of the guys now play bubble craps with you. It's six, seven. It's true. The problem is craps, I love craps so much, but I can't play a table. It's too expensive. It's like $10 minimum. I don't want to get into a business. $45 minimum is less than. It's like you'd have to sit down with $1,000 to enjoy yourself.

[16:31]100%. But I had a blast playing blackjack at a table, but it's just, we just, we are, Russell, we're moving away. We're kind of, I don't know what's going on, but it's, well, I mean, the problem is, here's the problem, Russell, and this happened to Peter and I last night in the casino. Everybody in the casino who wasn't us at two in the morning were real fucking losers. You know what I mean? Yes. We were at this thing where they could roll craps. We didn't hit a single point in an hour. These guys were the big, and they were, and everyone came up, we'd look, we'd be like, do we think this person's a winner? And we'd look over. No.

[17:00]And it was the biggest fucking loser that you've ever seen in your entire life. Like, if this guy sold your insurance, you'd be like, I got to find a new insurance guy. You know what I mean? Like, I got to find, so this guy's a loser. And it's just, there's so many fucking weirdos around here. They just do weird stuff. And you get people that are just, they're not themselves either. Like, we're going to Vegas, we're all going to dress up, and then you just turn into a D-bag overnight. There was a woman sitting down, Joe and I, at the sports book yesterday whose voice was like a drill into the back of my head. And she kept talking, and Joe and I were looking at each other like, how is she talking so loud and so long?

[17:31]And I turned around. No, I'm not going to say it. Was it John from Medina? No, it's not. What? There's only one person with a piercing voice, which is me at all the quarters of the world. I can't say who it is. She's not listening. No, she's not listening. She's still not happy with me about some stuff, too. That's a secret episode that'll come out later. Yeah, well, yeah, we'll talk about that at all. Speaking of, you were talking about losers. I think I found the biggest loser in Vegas last night, too. It's the guy who's standing out on the strip

[18:00]trying to get everyone to take a limo to the strip club. Wow. Like, I was asking someone, what is the career path for that guy? Like, was he working at one of the tourist shops selling, like, helicopter rides, and then he got promoted to this? Or what's the path to be the guy who's trying to get people to go to the strip? Strip club on the Vegas strip. It's got to be a guy who's always worked at the strip club, and then he got married, and his wife was like, listen, we don't want you working at the strip club anymore. He's like, fine, I'll go work at the strip. How does he make money, by the way? Is he just getting paid?

[18:30]It's the free limos. I know, are we supposed to tip him? So guys will come up and say, strip club, no cover, free limo. And I'm like, there's no way. There's no way that a strip club, first of all, is a strip club that I would want to go into if there's no cover whatsoever. Doesn't it feel like you're just going to be out there with, like, garbage cans and kicking the raccoons away? You know what I mean? By the way, Rob, we talk about this every time. This is so awkward, watching. I'm across from Rob. Russ and Rosie are across from each other, and I see Rob going, boop, boop.

[19:00]He's just, like, pinging back and forth, trying to look us in the eyes. I have to see who's going to give the best laugh, for sure. You've got to give them that feedback. So, yeah, I've decided we're old, and that guy's the biggest loser, Rob. We're only going 100%. Well, I'll tell you what. What am I going to do for a long time? I didn't even think of one. I was so stressed out getting here. It's the droids. I'll tell you, once again... Tell about the greatest power move from last night. Well, I know. I'll tell you what it was last night. I'm sitting there off the dance floor doing my thing,

[19:32]and all of a sudden, one of the more gorgeous women I've seen on this whole trip comes up to me, and she says to me, and I'm assuming she's saying, like, hey, stop doing whatever you're doing. And I'm like... It's you with the face. Because she was sitting there, and I saw her, and I got out of her way so she could see the band. I was standing behind the garbage cans watching the music. And she came over, and I thought she was going to tell me to move, and my first thought was, she's right. I should move. If she wants to get to these garbage cans, I would be in her way. She was so beautiful that I was just like,

[20:01]I got to get out of her way. And then she goes, I love your shoes. And I was like... The Cheetos shoes. Yeah, she was like, all your friends have so many shoes. Who's in charge of that? And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So we kind of have a thing where we get done. We're talking, and I send her over to talk to Matt. I send her over, and then Matt comes back. He goes... That's a prostitute. I go, what? No. She really wanted to talk to me. And she goes, yeah, it's a prostitute. I was like... A prostitute? First of all, it's the only person under the age of 35

[20:33]who's at this place. She's not dancing at all. She's just sitting there. And she did come and talk to me when I got closer. I was like, yeah, it's a prostitute. Because as we have been walking through this... Was she dressed like a prostitute? Oh, yeah. And she was smoking hot. But she's not going to comment on your shoes or my shoes. That's just... That's her line. I did say to her, I go, oh, you're staring at my feet. We've switched that around a little bit, huh? And then she did want to have sex for money. But I thought that was just a thing that happened. Because it is true that you have sex workers

[21:03]kind of throughout the casino, and they're always doing the same thing. They're always either by the doors or they're sitting by the slot machines. And I always know they're a sex worker because the number one thing they do is talk to me. Hey, handsome. No, thanks. You know what I mean? Compliment? What? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I would have zero chance of getting a real relationship here because anytime somebody says nice, I'm just like, oh, let's get it. All right, listen. That is it. No, by the way, everybody's shoe game was on point. It's tight.

[21:30]It's pretty good. It's tight. Should I be getting J's? I'm realizing on this trip, I should be getting... I think it's a good 40-year-old guy's shoe, isn't it? You want to be cool. So how do I do that? What's the best way to do that? The Nike app. And then you find the colors like, you know, he's got these ones here. He's got... Because they've got the blue and the green. They look like Timberwolves. They just... To buy the Timberwolves ones. I might have to do that. I might have to... Because I got to up my shoe game a little bit because I've got these Nobles that are... Well, who cares what shoes I'm wearing? But I am wearing my Cheeto shoes. You're just trying to get me to look at your shoes. Well... Your feet.

[22:00]Oh, that's true. And we're in matching shoes. Once again, for Aaron's birth, maybe one of you guys tell the big baller move of last night. Okay. Here's the deal. We go to see the droids. It is Aaron's birthday. Is it the range or not? Yeah. Yes. It is Aaron's birthday. And we go there and... Listen. Again, this place is... This place is full of idiots. And they're requesting the dumbest songs. And the gun show is here this week, too. So it's just a bunch of... The biggest fucking morons. Hey, what songs do you want? A guy's in the back yelling Freebird. It's like... Nobody wants Freebird.

[22:30]They wanted Dio. Somebody was going crazy for Dio. And somebody goes up and goes, play Bruce Springsteen. We're like... So it's getting toward the end of the night. Now, of course, we have heard the droids already once. We will be hearing them again tonight as their alternate ego goes... But they were getting toward the end and they were not playing Rage Against the Machine. Killing in the name of... And we were like, okay, it's coming. And there's a guy up there kind of up at the tip bar and this guy's a fucking loser. Like, even if it was your dad's friend, you just know he's a loser. You know what I mean? And he's talking to him saying,

[23:00]oh, I want this song, I want this song, I want this song. And all of a sudden, Russell goes, what the fuck? They're not going to play Rage Against the Machine? Russell goes over there. The guy has money getting ready to put in the tip jar. He's just negotiating with the band and the band's like, well, I'm going to play like Pink Pony Club or something, right? They said, yeah, we're not playing Rage Tonight. Yeah. Russell goes out, breaks out the crispest, thickest, biggest line on it, $100 bill you've ever seen and says, I want Rage Against the Machine. The guy goes, okay, we'll do it. The guy started arguing with me. I said, the deal is done.

[23:31]And I put money into the droid. This loser guy who's... The guy goes, well, we are going to play that song. This loser guy who's trying to get a song was like a French defender in the Olympics. And Russell is Vince Carter and he came down and he's like, and just went over the top and slammed the ball and put his nuts in this guy's face. And guess what happened, Russell? When they fucking started playing this song, everybody came out of the woodwork. Everybody was dancing. Now, unfortunately, three of the people that came out were the scariest hillbillies

[24:00]I've ever seen in my entire life. We knew we were in trouble because she was wearing pajama pants. Yes. And no bra. And again, the scariest people. So once again, I go back to my garbage can hideout. I'm hanging out back there. I look out. Who is talking to these guys who have about a combined five teeth in their mouth and have been slam dancing and like pulling their shirts up and like pulling their pants down. And Russell, once again, I get, I look at Russell. He's talking to these guys. I'm like, oh, what is he talking to him about? And they all just turned to me like a pack of wolves.

[24:30]And Russell goes like this and points to me. And the hillbillies come and get me and out of the dance floor. I felt I was like in the hills of eyes. It's the scariest thing I've ever had in my entire life. Absolutely terrifying. I had the great mid-90s bouncing around. What's that big walk where you're kind of Oh yeah, like, yeah, for sure. I got to say quick, though, Russell also before, even before Rage, he did hook up. He told them that it was my birthday. He wanted to play something funky. They had to take a break. Yeah, but they remembered they came back. They did a print set. They played Kiss. Yep. Interpolated Erotic City back to Kiss.

[25:00]It was pretty fucking cool. To be fair, that was Matt kind of instigated that once that was a Matt and Russ special. Thanks for things for chipping in on that one, Rob. OK, we are recording. I just double checked. Listen, I'm a little cash poor right now. OK, I had some issues with the Rams game that I not only picked all the picks that didn't win a single one. I also went to bed before the game was over. It's not good when the guy who meets your picks, you cannot find him anywhere. Well, we were. Do we pay out for that one? Yeah, exactly. All right. It is time to get another question. Oh, yeah. So we're at the sports book last night.

[25:31]We have 10 seats reserved and like nice cushion seats at Planet Hollywood. Matt, you guys did a great job getting those. Thank you for doing that. And at the end of the game, because Rob had disappeared, there was one of our seats was empty and there was a guy and there was a gentleman who was just passed out. And what did his T-shirt say? I didn't see it. His T-shirt said Las Vegas, the city that never sleeps. And he was sleeping in the chair. He was hard to sleep. And he was hard to sleep. And I came up and I was like, well, I kind of want to sit by John from Edina

[26:00]and talk to him while we're watching. I'm like, I'm not waking that guy up, though. And I was looking around. I was like, there's no one in our group who's waking that guy up. There's nobody. Nobody at all. Yeah, no, no. You'd have to go get the woman manager who is constantly having to tell people to move. Yes, I'll go get security. Security did. I mean, they came up to him early, too, and they didn't move him for whatever reason. I don't know. It was weird. But we have handled it this year. We found $75 seats to watch the games. It's in the same hotel where we are. You don't have to ever leave this place if you don't have to.

[26:30]It's great. Unless you have to go play basketball. Unless you have to go play basketball. Do you have to go? I got 10 minutes. Yeah, okay, great. You know it takes time to get to the car place. I don't know if you've ever been in Vegas, but you don't just teleport there. I'm aware. Okay, good. Just want to make sure. Listen, the car is going to be here in 15 minutes. He can handle himself. But I might have to change my compression shorts in front of you, which that's the other thing. You can use the bathroom. We're now a video podcast. Sorry, I don't know when it was. About three weeks ago, we were going ice skating on a Sunday after basketball.

[27:00]And I was like, you can play. I'll pick you up from basketball. We'll go ice skating. So then I had to change in the car. And I was thinking of Rob because it's like, you're in the car. You're changing underwear. You're pushing so hard on the floor. And you're trying to pull your hips up like this. And you look down and you go like, is that what it looks like? Like the nest and the stuff? No, it's on. It gets all spread out on the leather like a pan. Like you're making pancakes on there. You know what I mean? I'm so sorry. And it's awful that when you look at your own dick, you think of Rob. Like it's not what I want in my life. And then you're tying

[27:30]this belt around your scrotum and tighten it up so hard. It's so gross. What? Never mind. All right. Sorry. Is this a music podcast? The child seat is concerned and this child heat is concerned. I don't like calling the child heat. I should have thought something better than that. No, it's not good when you've done that and the car's moving and it's beeping at you like every eight seconds because it doesn't think it's hooked up. It's too small to recognize the hookup. You put your balls on the seat and it doesn't set off the seat belt. It's not heavy enough. That doesn't make sense. Totally.

[28:00]Are you running by the car in that scenario, Aaron? What? How are your balls on the seat but you're not? You got to think ahead before you say these things. Come on now. All right. We are talking about the Minutemen and we are talking about Double Nickels on the Dime. Now, none of us listen to this full album. Guys, it's 40 songs. 40 songs, right. It's a double and it's not a compilation. This is a double LP that they released in 1984 as a response. Oh, let's think. What else is 55? That's right. It's a response to Sammy Hagar's I Can't Drive 55. Are you serious?

[28:30]Oh, yeah, 100%. Wow. So this is really like a you'll recognize them because of the jackass theme song is on this. I think that's probably the most recognizable song. Oh, yeah. It popped up. You know what? I couldn't tell if it was the jackass theme song or the King of the Hill. What's the King of the Hill theme song? Rob, you'll have to drop that one in. Is that the same? I feel like it sounds similar. It sounds like the South Park theme song too a little bit at the beginning. See, but that's I know that's Les Claypool but yeah, it does have that same I swear this is the this is the jackass one but it is. You're right. You're right. And so it's

[29:00]D. Boone, Mike Watt and George Hurley and they were all born in the 60s so they're like barely 20 when this album comes out but they wanted to do a punk album that was a little bit more complicated. Is this an American group? Yeah, they're actually out of California somewhere but they were but this was like their third album they released they released one more after this and almost right after this album comes out the lead singer dies in a car crash so this is like one of these bands where like you never know what they could have gotten into but you know because of a tragic passing but I thought this was

[29:31]just going to be a normal punk album but when you listen to this it's almost like a like a ska kind of type stuff because the bass lines on this album are absolutely going crazy but it's a punk album in the sense where a lot of the songs are like 45 minutes a minute long and he's just talking about whatever there's a song on here called A Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing What's the name of the song? In 1984 right when Thriller's coming out like that They're really thinking things through they're artists 100% I wonder what political thing they were going to have him sing about I wish it was something like crazy

[30:00]like nobody would know about you know it'd be like like tariffs it'd be like Michael Jackson I support tariffs on computer chips that's the other thing I gotta mention shout out to Jonathan Medina he brought me the Rolling Stone he did he brought me the Rolling Stone magazine and I'm reminded of that because Questlove tells a great story about listening to Michael Jackson's song Morphine with D'Angelo and them both saying like this is when like we've stopped when Michael Jackson has stopped making sense but that was in you know I didn't just love Morphine you know what else I like oh god I want that that mommy's milk I want that mommy's milk

[30:31]that helps me sleep I can tell you right now if you looked at like I'm looking at the bedside table between Russell's and while you guys were gone I actually dug through some of the doors and stuff and it started buzzing so weird but our bedside table in David Ice Room disaster it looks like it's an evidence photo for Dr. Conrad Murray after Michael Jackson passed away give me some of that mommy's milk the amount of stuff that's on there it's just like cards of naked ladies half a bottle of Crown Royale oh wow

[31:00]and it's just like there's everything there and then when you go into the drawer there's like whoa this is I mean there's a lot of stuff down there it's like he's got you know his vape rig and everything it's just like there's just nothing healthy going on in this room I mean here all we've got is just a banana and then a one pack of gummies yeah and then a giant thing of underwear with a sign that says sniff here I don't know why why you put that out for the help around here I will say it's not it's not uncommon for punk and reggae to be adjacent to Bad Brains did it I think

[31:30]maybe it started with The Clash maybe it started before I don't know sublime kind of morphed into some that's true and I know like I know that but this is almost like it almost feels like you know who this sounded a lot like to me was like sublime it's like a punk thing with a oh fuck did you just say that that's i mean that's a great take rob i do that's you're three feet from him he didn't hear you you're in his headphones like i was probably sublime this is good though because we're not editing this one so now it's everybody will know exactly

[32:02]how this podcast goes but you do think about those parallels too right because sublime got big after that lead singer he died over od yeah yeah and that's uh his son is singing now for him they're still pretty good they'd full time yeah because i was always because you know those videos were always out during when i was in like my teenage years they would come out i'd be like guys the ghost this is going to help with my load management this is tough i'm waiting for creep to come on meanwhile watching a guy who's a ghost with his talking singing about his dog if that

[32:30]comes on after the aerosmith video but basic time but basically like it's funk it's punk it's kind of like all these it's super musical it's totally not what i was expecting it's almost like this i bet magic mike likes this stuff i i bet he does too i bet i i think i would like probably like it too if i can give it some more time i think so too i think uh uh yeah and and so we've got the big songs in here ain't no picnic glory of men history lesson part two political song from michael jackson sing and of course uh corona the jackass theme and then basically people are saying that uh if you wanted to have a band that was political uh smart weird i mean this was kind of like the look at it it's just like an

[33:06]thing where they were just insanely talented and clever and pipeline yeah it's kind of fun so should we get into the album yeah all right so i am going to be playing this okay i'm gonna go all right erin is around your own good luck you're free to fly we gotta touch fingers love you guys we gotta touch fingers come on russell i'll see you in three hours okay hopefully with my achilles intact inappropriate here we go stretch out erin here and if you stretch out you blow your achilles

[33:31]you're on your own i'm gonna help you we're not going out to the airport we're not leaving the hotel much we would never leave the hotel if you weren't here all right let's go to the airport you guys ready for this it's gonna be a mic drop all right we'll hit the switch so it doesn't we had to hear it this is a this is a listening podcast it fell into russell's bed and now it's all it's covered in basil and this is and this is how we know that this podcast is going to go quick from here on out because we're down to three of us it never works when it's just three of us never ever uh let alone with just two of you like you and john from edina that never works just

[34:06]zeus character from friday shows up but like it just is bad air the whole time ball he's going to be over there it's just larry johnson just like shoving him around and dunking on him god erin's got the biggest nuts to go play what would you what would be the thing that you could be talked into in vegas do you think of erin's dumb plans what would you be talked into for me he's mentioned steakhouse i could do a steak i mean we're looking at the mountains right now i mean if it made sense

[34:30]doing a little hike through the mountains it would be fun but it would have to be very i'd have to know exactly how long we're going to go yeah and all that stuff i wouldn't want to say it again people that hike they love to lie about the length of the hike it's one of their favorite gags oh it's just a short hike my kid famously eddie who's 10 now when he was like four he said you know i used to like hikes but then i just figured out they're just really long walks that was his line not a winning formula yeah no not at all all right so i'm going to play each one of these from the beginning so we got 40 songs so we're dialed in here picking a few of them

[35:01]nah erin's not here so we got all the time okay we're down to rush it all i'm just kidding we got to get to the buffet by 10 let's start by noon all right let's well then we're over goodbye let's start with number one hit song which i do i'll just play it and i'll put it all the songs this is one of the more popular ones

[35:33]so i'm just kidding we got to get to the buffet by 10 let's start by noon all right let's then we're over goodbye let's start with number one hit song which i do i'll just play it and i'll put it in here all the songs this is one of the more popular ones in amazon let's start with number one hit song which i do i'll just play it and i'll put it in here all the songs this is one of the more popular ones in amazon it does kind of rock it does i'm gonna have to listen to this it does sound very california it sounds very little chili peppers maybe it's pretty good you know what it kind of sounds like to me it's music that like when you were listening to the tony hawk soundtrack yeah there'd be a song like this i'd be like who the fuck are these guys this rocks you know what i mean i bet i bet like you know we had like a 94 x game cd

[36:02]that was just phenomenal yes you know i bet yeah this is on a couple of those yeah versions yeah but look at the song it's it's two minutes long it's already halfway over i mean it really is like something where i when i was listening to it just oh my god i thought you were the i thought you were the hotel people coming in and telling us they want to hire us full-time for a show hey would you guys be willing to be here you know we go bruno mars be like russell what if you worked at vegas what if you worked as a residency here

[36:30]yeah and they said okay we'll give you a marker you get like a thousand dollars a weekend of a marker that'd be amazing oh my god it would even be fun anymore though if you're getting free money from the hotel would you even be able to yeah you'd be doing it for way more than a thousand bucks what if it's like 20 grand a weekend my podcasting or what am i doing well no i mean they're giving you gambling money like they're doing with bruno mars you know what i mean where he's trapped here because i don't think they're giving him i think he's paying off gambling debts right oh yeah my reading comprehension is not yes i'm not gonna lie that's the reason why i don't understand aaron is am i right he's like he's paying that explains paying off gambling debts

[37:04]bruno mars that's what i thought yeah aaron's not reading this now he's a he's here playing because it's like well you can either pay him the 20 million bucks or whatever or you could just play six shows a year for the next three years kind of a thing so i might have to i might be magic mike 69 can correct us on that there's a there's something to that too because i was actually bruno mars's lawyer when he did all this so that's yeah so i really don't understand what's going on

[37:30]so that's not a good sign that i don't understand what the deal was for but yeah that would be uh that would be i gotta hand it to bruno mars i got more respect for him now he he loves gambling so much it's affecting his job you know what i mean he loves playing blackjack so much that now he's stuck being in vegas forever like just imagine if you gambled so much that now you work here and now you're in after that he's gonna be the this is how he gets to be in the the limo guy yeah exactly yeah coolio get the stretch okay and then all of a sudden he's driving the stretch because he's he's lost too much money to vegas let's go to the next song here uh here's a song

[38:04]partying will help you know we're picking some good songs here there's maybe not dogs on here the singer when he's just yelling and talking got some little bars but you're picking like this i love the band i love the music how do you how do you put 40 songs on an album and not maybe like what what do we think of this it's

[38:33]it's just like is it too much i'm like this or is that the point of it it's a punk album and it's i mean because if you were any sort of uh just looking like you'd make three albums out of this right and then you try to sell three albums kind of thing so uh according to ai no bruno mars does not have debt with mgm it's a widespread rumor that he uh 2024 that he owed 50 million dollars in gambling debt and that's why he started so sounds like it's false

[39:03]but will we ever really know he's not gonna admit to that they're not gonna mgm says that i mean listen i won't even tell my wife the real amount of money that i'm gambling and losing vegas okay there's how close how close you tell her like you it's a half it's a rule of half it's the same with how much money i bring out it's always the rule of half yeah okay although this year i'm actually doing okay but all right now i'm screwed to drop some of our wives listen to this podcast you gotta yeah and and and you guys are gambling way less than me okay and no women are talking to

[39:33]whatsoever on the dance floors but here's the thing is that actually there were women talking to me on the dance oh yeah russell had two died too and one of them was saying they were watching us from the day before did you know that yeah you did because you pointed once again you pointed at me and said this she's been watching the garbage can yeah but once again women tried a couple women have tried to dance with us as a group and literally they got mad because we weren't dancing with them right we will never ever dance with ladies on this now if ladies want to sit

[40:03]fine but if they think that we're going to dance we're not here to dance with women we're here to dance with each other we're here to dance with each other to the same songs but how many how many women have you squatted at the uh carnival court this year we have added one more squatted woman to the carnival court okay this woman was extremely light okay and it turned out that when she told us how old she was she was like 50 we were blown away i thought she was going to say like 30 and then at some point i said oh i russell this is a good tip for you if you're ever talking

[40:33]yes and you have a lull in the conversation all you have to say is well you must lift weights no that's the line one of the greatest lines you could possibly say because they all they all i mean obviously i could tell she lifted weights but because then you know what the next part of that is what's that touch my stomach that's always the next line of that conversation and you have to do it and what does that lead to well you touch your stomach and then never washing that thumbs up oh good yeah good work good job today yeah here's a picture

[41:03]of my wife that's what i do every time you do yeah here's a picture of my wife and kids i love them so much and i miss them yeah because they're gone forever so i'm single so how are you doing the one lady was saying that her and her friend were watching us have fun from the night before they liked our our energy or their the way we were doing things they did like our shoes so we're good dancers too we are i mean we we do we do attract we're out there but i mean literally

[41:30]if you if you come with us like i said to somebody if if i had to explain to you what we did in vegas we would sound like the biggest moron because we sat all day and watched sports and then at halftime we would get up and play bubble craps or blackjack and then we went to the same bar that we went to last night the night before we listened to the same band play a lot of the same songs it was about 50 50 and even pay them to play the same songs and guess what i wouldn't want it any other way it's one of the greatest we we know exactly what's going to happen there's always back from

[42:00]that for me saint paul friends with brian and joe you know he famously said you know he's been on here a couple times he goes i just don't like dancing with dudes and i'm like that's your problem yeah because that's what we're doing out here we are a hundred percent dancing with dudes i it's and guess what we're doing today probably more of it this sums up aaron and ours relationship aaron is going to go play the basketball run we are rushing to hurry up so we can get to the buffet and get some crab legs i took one of these edibles about an hour ago so we're going to need to be at that buffet soon my god russell that's a great

[42:30]idea do you have an extra one i might have to i might i might have to load up for the buffet i have to fight myself load management all right and then of course the most famous song on this album corona oh this is the jackass song great opening i mean if you're listening to this in a car you're not driving no you know what i mean you are not no nobody's ever listened to this song and made the decision what a perfect

[43:00]jackass right it's fun it kind of i when i heard this i was like oh yeah yes but what is your favorite jackass what's your favorite i'll ask the questions i'll start i my favorite is the rodeo fire hose where they hang a fire hose down and then they have to hop onto it and they turn it on as a rodeo and it sprays them around and the really the brilliance of jackass of course is the outfits they wear every skit they do they're wearing corresponding outfit highly but you want to what your kids get old enough to watch jackass with you you want to watch jackass with you

[43:30]you it's a hunt it's a great time every time my favorite one is they have it's like in their production like in one of the hallways or something like backstage or something got something to put a sign on the wall that says like you know hey what does that say like happy birthday or read or something yeah then you have to get up and they go and they look at it really close and all of a sudden a big oxyglobes comes out and they go flying back do you think you can handle being in a friend group like that i know you know i would lose my fucking mind you know i have friends like so they're not quite like this but nothing

[44:00]but the uh yeah they're the nut tap guys the guys who the one of those guys called again complimentary movie guys they still to this day will like tally whack someone in the nuts like like a backhand and if if they ever did that to me i i would never talk to them again joe i joe from east st paul when he pulled a jackass on this one time we were at st olaf and there's some like water must have been like a pump house or something between rand and iterbo senior week and and so he

[44:30]would call he would call people and say hey we're over at rand come on over so i i'd go i nice i'm by myself like i'm walking over and he's just up there spraying a hose at people then he sprayed it all at himself he sprayed it he sprayed everybody so that everybody else is getting in that oh god we're all sitting behind the wall and joe just starts spraying people that's hilarious it's so good i the only thing i had like that in college was of course the famous phone in the uh hoimei lobby that was one number off from pizza hut for domino's what it was one

[45:00]number off from domino's okay if you're calling to it and so all i would do is if it rang i would pick it up and say domino's then take the order and then just that was it and they would never yeah i'd be like all right be there in 20 minutes i just never they would never hear everybody again now in retrospect one of the meanest breaks you can possibly imagine if that happened to you you thought you might be raging where is the dominant i know it's coming where the is the domino's i called you already it's just me again in the lobby you're right sir i'm so sorry you know what we're

[45:30]doing what kind of soda do you want with this my pranks are not clever if they're just mean all right uh but russell don't let me ask you russell were you a big have you seen the jackass movies were you a jackass guy i've seen a few of the movies i don't know if i could say that many of this if you told me the skits i could probably right say if i remembered or not but i have more of a i don't like mutilation skits like they were if they're piercing body parts if a lot of wheat a lot of wiener stuff too which is wiener stuff mutilation stuff i don't like i like the ones

[46:03]where they're if it's uh like throw them in like with a bull or like some wild animal or something i kind of i'll go for that yeah i i because i did watch these with my girls like earlier than i should have yeah and you always forget that there's a one where it's like a penis in a snake outfit and they put it into a snake cage you know what i mean and they have this they have the snake bite it and you're like i got like three friends that i think would do this you know what i mean like it's it's it's it's it's kind of it exposes my daughters to what men could be like you know

[46:34]especially when i'm watching that and then you know but you do have to skip like where they have like the little bathroom anytime somebody was going to the bathroom and that i was like except for the one where he had to go in the uh home depot no i remember that one oh was it just a toilet on display oh god can you imagine work there how miserable your day would be how's your day at work i i don't even hey i know you got a bunch of those nice japanese toilets did you

[47:05]sell any of those i said i it happened today sweetie you know the thing i've always feared you know what i mean it's like the one thing where there's like a big red button in the toilet section at home depot do you think the home depot already has like a totem pole or like an order of who would have to clean out a toilet if someone shouldn't it like is there is there like does the management have like a list that's not posted anywhere where it's like and then when you when you do it you go to the bottom of the list daryl you're up we saw guys out last night

[47:32]peter and i did where they all had hats on where they looked like it was naval but they were all a little bit different and i think that they were a friend group just like us they all had captain's hats they had but they had different rankings oh really i was thinking maybe we should do that you know what i mean like we rank the top and we rank the bottom and we rank the bottom and we rank the trip so like joe is the general yeah you know what i mean and then like if there's an open blackjack table you know the general gets to go first john would be at the bottom john would be a private yeah he's only been here two years i don't know based on his experience the other night he might

[48:01]be the general we can't talk about that we cannot put that out and he is out there where it was but john is once again did i tell you though we were debating right i said oh i think i think john would tell his wife all this stuff that happened and so then i asked john i go john would you tell your wife oh no no no no no no no no yeah yeah and once again let's just be clear it's all just stuff of like i don't know what road i was crossing last night you know stuff like that it's nothing too it's nothing like marriage breaking but right i if i could just let me

[48:34]just pray if i could be in a lobby on a friday night at four in the morning i would do anything in my power to get there i wonder if we can get to me can you go back to the video it was wild enough that one of our other friends dave did come and sit by me and asked who was watching who was watching him the other night and kind of gave me the parental guidance of someone needs to watch him when you guys go out well we didn't do it last night because we sent him home when we were going to in an outbreak ben ben from palm springs took him home so yeah well god he's he's alive today

[49:04]then history lesson part two and you get stuff like this where it's like so nice and pleasant i enjoy it but see this it's vocals for me yeah i know i know this is the vibe of it but i just yeah i agree but i i there's something i know and again if this isn't like is what like is this just

[49:37]for because we keep running into this right where it's like i think if i grew up listening to this man or if i grew up being a big player this would be really true because it's not it's not like ramones it's not like it's not like divo it's like it's like graduated because diva was before this right yeah so this isn't as complicated but there still seem like there is musical but it's uh well divo is right around 84 isn't that when that album we just

[50:03]listened to that was right around you think they started in late cities and then uh i think finally our last song we're gonna do this ain't no picnic and i think this actually does actually give you a pretty good idea of what this album sounds like did you say picnic just so you could pop your peas into the mic what's the last time you guys had a picnic covet date covet date no did you have a picnic basket no it was oh i don't know if this would be

[50:30]we went to a park and i brought stuff to make moscow mules at a picnic table that sounds like a good is that i love it or not oh 100 that's more paid than i did we did not go out again are you serious yeah you you got somebody a picnic and you brought up a picnic and you brought them drinks well i don't know i might want to delete this because i haven't made any efforts through picnics in the last however many years so but russell yeah that's the thing right is that hey but wait you've got options now we know that from

[51:02]last night you've got options so you're you're doing okay i'm gonna say this if you live with somebody going to eat outside seems like one of the dumbest things in the entire world i mean but there's things like in minneapolis where like there's like music at like lake harriet band shell stuff like that we think oh there's things that we think we uh travel you know parks and stuff like that a lot well instead of like going to mcdonald's for lunch so we'll pack a picnic more than more than most times we at least pack something like that so we have picnics all the

[51:32]time as a family see in my mind though picnics and here's the thing is that you'll see online sometimes you'll see like have you ever seen those really nice picnic baskets for sale yeah they have like the glasses and the silverware i've always been you're laying down in a blanket in the field meadow i hate picnics i hate eating outside i hate eating in a field and you know what i hate more than anything else i'm gonna get up off that ground when you've been laying on it for an hour or a picnic bench you try to sit in a picnic bench that's just not quite cut out for your proportions

[52:00]and you've got to squeeze in there you feel like you're gonna tip over like i don't mind a tip i hate sitting on the ground because i'm like how many ants are coming they're they're coming or something something's gonna find bugs or whatever i hate i hate sitting at a picnic table because it's it's always that same thing we'll never have a picnic together oh my god man we're this is this is really driving a rift between our relationship but it's the paint they use on picnic tables where it's like it's not if you touch it it makes my fingernails feel weird i don't know i've always thought that i've never liked you can carve into it right that's where you see everybody yes exactly yeah and if it's too smooth that's because they paint them year after year

[52:31]after year so then it gets real thick oh is that what it is oh i hate it uh city work you know what let's do one more song let's find one more song on this album i don't know like what what's going on we'll do oh you know what we've got to play the michael jackson where's that michael jackson song a political world here we go political song that's something we haven't mentioned they aren't really political they talk about a lot of political stuff in 84 of course we're writing for raymond you know everybody's like

[53:02]oh this is bad i mean that quote michael jackson have his name in the songs so killer so this was the minute men we've got to get to the buffet we've got to end this no matter what we've got to get to the buffet this was the minute man this was double nickels on the dollar uh rolling will tone of course would be it this is perfect at whatever number this is i think we're still in the 260 somewhere i can pull it okay rolling bone would be this no it just we have hired listen it's a album like we haven't really heard before i don't know what what band and don't say sublime again

[53:34]man try to copy me again after the edit i'm going to switch that around uh what band do you think this is the most like that we've listened to already i think it's the chili peppers yeah i would say that i think that's a good we listen to chili peppers yet yeah we have done i remember we did the zephyr song we had a whole bit about the zephyr song we had californication that album's on no uh blood sugar sex man gotcha i think californication's in the high 300s or something so okay i don't know i mean because the other punk ones we've done haven't sounded a lot like this the ramones and the and i ash a little bit there a little bit they get a little into their music

[54:03]a little more this has a little more musicality you know than just the straight up three chords and some drums but it is the musicality with like and then like russ says and then just not give a every once in a while okay we're gonna play this great beat and then talk over it in an annoying voice and it's like well yeah maybe if you were at a show dancing like those guys last night it would make more sense but right now russell the only thing that we're making sense with is our change from the buffet that we're going to go look russell just gave me where's aaron aaron's got a beer russell what do you think rolling tone rolling bone would be lower on the

[54:30]list okay but uh it should have been lower on the list which in this case is a lower number because we're in vegas or would this be a rolling groan which is higher on the list which would be a higher number but we're covering it in the future should we cover it in the future or the past russell what do you think rolling will tell droid bone rolling groan i'm kind of torn on this because i really enjoyed the music part of it i i hear the chili peppers the most in in the band but i i don't think i don't enjoy the lead singer at all and i know that's their their vibe and that's their sound but for me i'm going to say it's rolling grown it's too high on the list because i just

[55:00]think there's way too many talented singers that putting putting these guys above them seems ridiculous to me matt what do you what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling just for the record so magic mike doesn't yell at us this is 267 on the list 267 away um from what i from what russell's night was almost last night 269 two of them no russell whatever you 25 269 that's crazy the one lady was very impressed that i asked for parliament i'm just gonna say that russell c did you tell her about the podcast we've got options we gotta get

[55:33]stickers man right we need to start sticking them everywhere um i did not listen to this album you pulled up the jack you know so i'm assuming that i'm gonna like this but i'm just gonna go since i did zero research i'm gonna go with the fact that i would much rather listen to uh the blue album weezer by weezer at 294. so i'm gonna say this is rolling grown should be lower on the list uh and that's my very very very short take on this all right and of course guys unfortunately

[56:00]you guys are incorrect okay this gets a rolling uh hits your nuts on the ground what do you hear this album of course you were thinking about jackass you were doing crazy stuff when you were doing this true if you were driving in a car you know you're getting a rental car you're driving into the demolition derby and bringing it back one of the all-time great opening to a movie you are doing nasty stuff for the song and that's why we're officially banning this album for the rest of the trip in vegas because we're going to be civilized today we are going to a restaurant i

[56:30]just want you to picture this we are eating today in a restaurant with silverware you know how many you know how many days it's been since i've eaten something with silverware two nights ago i had half of a piece of pizza for dinner that was it joe you had an extra piece joe had the it was the pineapple yeah and uh it was the hawaiian yeah and joe's like well you want some i'm like yeah that was my dinner well yesterday that's the reason i went up and took a nap as matt saw it i was eating pizza in my famous hard daddy shirt oh and you spill on it russell you've never seen a spill like the spill

[57:00]i had yesterday on my shirt yesterday i spilled flaming hot garlic butter from the garlic knots onto my shirt i had a markup i had a mark like up on my head and you still got options after that you know how stupid i am is you know i'm a spiller yeah and guess what kind of pizza i still got barbecue chicken if you think of a pizza that spills more and then i go to in and out and i get some juicy burger that has like never erin did this the other day never ever go to like some pizza place like down there and get barbecue chicken i would have to get like something very as

[57:30]standard as possible no you don't i'm not saying it's bad i'm saying the other ones look so good that like i would have to just get something normal because i know it i love getting the freaking pizzas i get the barbecue chicken and the pineapple the hawaiian i did it again the other day and guess what it was great i don't even like hawaiian pizza that much but i was like this is a fun choice but today we are eating i haven't eaten a meal with silverware in right days i feel like a caveman next up okay just like the album that was playing when we walked into this room today

[58:01]it's sail away russell what if russell's sleeping machine was just enya guys there's got to be a joke with any on this right but unfortunately it's not india it's randy newman okay now i'm just this is randy newman so this is salt this is uh yacht rock at its finest right is this is this what i'm thinking or no that's christopher cross yeah no that's the thing is it's not chris it's not enya it's not christopher cross and it's not that one song where they go do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do russell we should put in some money tonight and have them play sail that'd be such a good

[58:35]bit all right folks the podcast theme song is playing when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time but you're just too lazy to get up to amplify his persona on the podcast like if he was just here on his own for like a work trip for three days he's not he likes to have some sort of challenge he did the hike last year

[59:02]and he's just trying to find another challenge this year i got to say i'm going to go with that this is more people that look like aaron and look like shaq or you know i suppose if you're paying money for basketball helping the airport right you know which is fine and there'll probably be a couple people that are okay but like you think he's going to go out there and he's like a we got to get him jason williams no i think i think he will be in the middle five there's 15 people i think he's in the middle five of abilities i just do i can't wait to hear it i absolutely can't wait well we will see you guys next week when we come

[59:33]back and do a randy newman song with no randy newman songs i've ever heard in my life on the album no not on this is that it no it's not on there at all i could believe there will be no parody songs what about the toy story oh yeah the toy story one is out there is he the guy is he saying uh major league is he the guy that sings the couple songs in major league yes okay yes so he's a yeah this guy's a great musician but we're gonna know a few songs i guarantee we know

[60:01]river thanks for putting up with the live episode everybody we will see you later is that how we end we will see you later we're not going to see him with a podcast that's true you need to come up with some joke you guys this is where you guys come you guys want to help

[60:31]me put a bunch of these cards in aaron's bed when he comes back or we can we can leave like it wouldn't it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for us to go get a condom and leave an uh like a a soiled condom in his bed right now just to make him wonder what the hell happened after he left oh we should do this funny joke where he opened a bunch of condom wrappers and put in his bag so when he goes home and opens his luggage just a bunch of condom wrappers fall out you know what the problem is you know what you know what aaron's wife at gmail at aaron's wife at gmail.com

[61:01]would say when she opened up the bag and a bunch of condom wrappers fell out yeah what was rob in your room yeah you know what i mean she's gonna know right away i would say she would say that's that's a terrible use of cardboard like what a waste you waste you've done for the environment she's bad yeah you know around this house we normally reuse all of our ziploc bags at least put them in the compost when you're done that's one of the grossest things i've ever heard in my entire life

[61:30]all right we gotta go the problem is if we're gonna load up aaron's bed with the cars we have to get rid of his full-size pillow you know what i mean that's in there it's shaped like uh one of the battle cats oh i told a joke that just bombed in the podcast oh well i'm belgry let's go thanks for you guys
