Kanye West: Yeezus (2013)

[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums is decided by rolling stone magazine this results in a text chain that celebrate the music excoriate the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research i almost cried there i felt like all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better this week we have an album described by many as abrasive and chaotic which is how i imagine a lot of people describe me to their wives you know what i mean like they

[00:33]get over there like listen abrasive and chaotic not my fault rob was there it got a little crazy uh we have kanye west yeezus from 2013 and surprise surprise it might it might surprise you i have no parody song this week and it was actually very satisfying because i looked at this album and just right away i was like oh there's nothing i can do with this no no thank you at all uh we have three guys here who keep telling me to hurry up with the massage but the first part is just me staring at

[01:03]you that's right here instead of a reiki massager and i do a peaky massage i'm looking hey take off your clothes but the door doesn't close all the way because i'm looking in but you can hear me you can hear me breathing heavily by the way if you think reiki to peaky massage is funny you're a massage person so congratulations uh i've got uh what is a reiki massage i don't it's just they're all the same you know what i mean like oh are you gonna push me hard or soft like i don't the only one i would have been interested in is there's one

[01:33]called rolfing it's like the muppets it's called rolfing where they're supposed to go so deep that it's the most painful thing you could experience but the problem is and they always do this shit they also believe that your muscles have old memories that you need to get rid of it's like just you know what just rub me i don't need to hear about my muscles memories okay that my muscles have my muscles have no memories and if they did it would be mostly me sitting on things you know what i mean like that's what my butt muscles mostly do uh uh when's the last

[02:04]time you guys got a massage never have in my life never never once uh maybe twice it was like it's been 10 years or so all right moving on you know what i'll say about this we saw you know i'm asking yeah we saw this in vegas i don't know if it happened at many of the tables you guys were sitting up oh no the people who get the massages at the blackjack table i think it's bizarre and strange but there are some of them that are so natural at it and get like so in i'm like this

[02:32]is uncomfortable right now are they still gambling while they're getting a massage oh yeah it was it was a bro and his buddies that were part of some sorority or fraternity next to me and oh you know i think i need one yeah i'll take a massage yeah i'm like really it's it's so gross get massaged next to your bros at that blackjack table is one of the weakest moves you could possibly pull if when if you look over at me and you see me going like this oh yeah oh yeah that's

[03:07]not what we're doing i don't want to ever hear anybody on the vegas trip make the noise and go oh yeah i think oh i'm so tight you know what i mean i don't want to hear we should be not making noises under our breath and i i don't know like getting a massage in public should be illegal russell it's some and it's some it's always it's it's weird because if you don't know what we're talking about there's women that walk around and offer massages okay and i get it everybody's trying to make a buck

[03:32]but it's very strange to pay a woman to touch you while you're out in public they give you this big kind of pillow thing that you lean down forward with your head like hanging over the table it's so weird and and people don't even realize like they're doing it and there's a stranger sitting like 12 inches of their shoulder that's being massaged it's true it's true you're also taking a big risk if you go on a big run like if you hit a big losing streak and you're getting the massage

[04:02]like now you've lost a bunch of money while you sit there and have to wait for the massage can you imagine anything and the speed with which you can lose money there would be the most stressful thing so you could have a half hour massage you could lose three hundred dollars in the first 10 minutes and then what you're just going to sit there no i'm not playing anymore oh yeah oh yeah get down way low on my back you know what i mean like just disgusting uh plus i like to have my face massaged do you think they're doing that russell like the full

[04:34]rubbing of the is that for you like to have your face massaged people touching your face with their hands okay let's not bring this back to what rob likes okay because i don't want to have another experience where i found out i'm the weirdo they wash their hands when they leave the so you're the massage expert on the podcast listen i'll say it again i will not go in and get a massage anywhere where they don't have bars on the ceiling you know what i mean if they can't reach up and grab on the bars and walk on my back i don't want it i want the full on walking on my

[05:05]back i'm a piece of trash treat me like shit it's what i like it's what i deserve you know stuff like that very relaxing i've got a matt in minneapolis matt how are you doing uh good rob shout out to all the girls that are rocking forever 21 just turned 40. wow oh oh no uh i've got russell in minneapolis russell how are you doing rob what are you doing in the club on thursday oh wow and i've got aaron uh aaron was telling me earlier

[05:32]you got to make sure you jack off before your colonoscopy so you last longer what listen i hate this guy as much as anyone else but the one thing he ever said that i agree he said i'm sorry one thing he ever said that i agree with was when i wake up i like to go again so i guess we better talk about yeezus oh i'll every once in a while bring that up i'll just float that up like hey hey it was nice last night we could do it in the morning

[06:00]no i don't say that because i'm up doing the podcast instead i'd say like i'd say like hey you know we could just like five ten minutes in the morning and it's always like i really want coffee uh let's get into the voicemail on the back line 802-277-BEC that's 802-277-2325

[06:33]hey friends aaron from minneapolis haven't called in a long time but i'm still listening faithfully to every episode all the way to the end i thought about you all at work yesterday i work at a nursing home and i was in the memory okay so i'm gonna pause right okay that sentence is kind of a bummer that's tough yeah that's a tough one yeah i was hoping she'd

[07:02]be like oh i was at a bodybuilding show i'm a trainer for the minnesota vikings yeah yeah i was at a sex club i don't mean pretty much anything i just hang around athletic people all day doing cool stuff but it's always like it's always like oh i saw some spilled gravy at a buffet and i thought of you guys there's some rock stars no yeah my care unit and they were doing a little thing along and listening and singing along to all their old-timey patsy cline music and such

[07:33]and i couldn't help but think what does this look like in 40 or 50 years when our generation is in these um sort of facilities and situations and i was just chuckling thinking about them oh all these beautiful sweet old people singing some snoop dogg or lady gaga so my question for you was um if you're having a elderly millennial sing-along what songs are you hoping to sing

That's their end of the night sing-along. One thing about being a They Might Be Giants fan, you don't have to worry about this kind of stuff. You know what I mean? Russell, what do you think? What you got? I got a few ideas. One, I think we're going to go a little older.

[13:03]I think it's not going to be 90s. I think it's going to be stuff from a little before. I think John Denver. I feel like we could be singing John Denver in an old folks home. The other ones that jumped out to me, I went with kind of more of a 90s rock. Mr. Jones by the Counting Crows, maybe. That's a good one. Okay, okay. And then I really think the one that is still going to be fun for people our age to sing, even when we're 80, I think it's Baby Got Back.

[13:30]Oh, yes. It's such a fun song. Baby Got Back. So picture, and I hate. The sha-la-la's are fun. That's true. I hate to show the video on screen to you guys again because I know we always get so distracted by this video. Wait, I never knew that he says cut up Maria. I didn't know that's what he said. I didn't know that either. Again. Look at that, Russell. He's standing on a big bus. I think for guys of our age,

[14:01]the lyrics to this are in your bones. You will never lose the lyrics to this. I want to get it with you. And take your picture. My whole boy's trying to warn me. But that butt you got makes me so horny. That's true. You tried to warn me. Makes me so horny. That's why he's the master. Nobody else was going to tell us to put him on the glass. That's why he's got a sir in front of his name. That's true. Okay. He was knighted. I'm sure he said before he's knighted for booty or something like that.

[14:30]Now that, guys, guess what? We came back. This episode, a swing and a big home run. We knocked it out of the park. We're going right into the rolling going. Great voicemail on that one. It is time. It's time to see what everybody's up to. We love our voicemail callers. It's time for rolling going. And guess what? We're one of the few podcasts that is just four white guys talking about stuff and only has female callers. You know what I mean? Like, we only have female voicemails. All of our male listeners only leave text messages, I think.

[15:01]Rolling going. Aaron, how's it going with you? Man, it's going great. You know, I was realizing I didn't get a chance to talk about one of my greatest days out. Of 2020, 2025, one of my greatest days out of 2025. So I wanted, I wanted to take you guys back. Oh, can we do, can we do some like a time machine moment? Can we do a little time machine? Of course. Uh, here we go. I'll, I'll get the smoke smoke. So I, I want to take you guys back because I think I really, I realized that I had a

[15:32]rolling going sometime around this time. I didn't get a chance to share with you all December 28th, 2025. I, I think I mentioned this in our Las Vegas. Episode. Uh, I just want to take you through my whole day and tell you what an absolute banger of a day I had. Cause I got to give a shout out to Wallace and to Anna for helping me have such a great day. You know, I love days, you know, I love days that you want to repeat here. That's one of my favorite things. This might be an all timer for me. All right. December 28th was a Sunday and it was a beautiful day here.

[16:03]We had come home from Christmas in the Midwest, beautiful day here in Oakland. Uh, got up on Sunday, went over to play basketball. I think I mentioned then it was, I left. Basketball early because we had a reservation at the shopping mall for ice skating. So I had to change from the basketball clothes into the ice skating clothes at the shopping mall. So we did the ice skating in the back of the car. Yeah. Did you learn anything about yourself in the back of the car? Front of the car, no change in the front of the car.

[16:31]And as I mentioned, uh, it's not fun. It's not a, it's not a pleasant experience to be changing with your whole thing in your lap and look down. You're going fully nude. You're going fully nude in the front of the car. Yeah, because I had my compression shorts on. I couldn't wear those all day. So I had to like fully yeah. Disrobe in the front of the car. You're one person walking by the car away from being a registered sex offender for the rest of your life shopping mall. It's true. You're going to have to go around and tell people, oh my God, you gotta be careful here.

[17:00]Yeah. So I narrowly escaped disaster there. So then we did it, uh, almost 90 minutes of ice skating at the Christy Yamaguchi ice skating rink at the Bishop ranch, uh, shopping mall there in San Ramon. And so then. And when ice skating was done, then we stopped by the field work, uh, brewery for a piece in a beer. So that was all beautiful. Lovely. Came home and took a rest. I had ticket. I had one ticket that night by myself to see DJ quick at Yoshi's, which is a jazz club down in Jack London square. So it was going to go see DJ quick at Yoshi's that night.

[17:31]We also had a ticket to go to, uh, they call it glow Fari's. This is like when they light up the zoo at night, you know, with like all the animals that got laid out, lights and whatnot. And so. So, um, yeah, so we got, we got plans to go to glow Fari, which I love. I love glow Fari. We're about to leave for glow Fari and a buddy of mine texts me and says, Hey, I'm going down to McNally's, which is a dive bar down the street. Cause I'm going to watch the Niners and the bears, you know, let me know if you want to join. I was like, oh man, I would love to join, but I can't, I'm going to glow Fari.

[18:02]So, so a human being got a text. I would love to join you, but I'm going to glow Fari. Do people know what it is? They're like, Hey, yeah. I'm like, I love glow Fari too. It's like, you know, other dads are like, yeah, I got it, man. Like glow Fari. It's cool. It would be the number one way to have sex at the zoo though. You know what I mean? Like if your dream was to have sex at the zoo, glow Fari is your place. And what animal would you pick to have sex next to the crab? I'm well, I guess I can't tell my rolling going about my San Diego trip from last week anymore, Rob.

[18:35]Thanks. Wild animal pork. Thank you. Check this out. Shamu. I just, you're at all Shamu sees is just your ass cheeks hitting the glass as you're pulling away his fins getting straight again. It's hard and rigid. Uh, listen, that's a good one. That's a fun joke on a lot of levels. I would say the song by the, is it the heel of the world?

[19:03]The song from free willies plan. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You're the world. You can see these two white butt cheeks hitting the glass outside sir. Mix a lot. It's like, sir. Mix a lot. Is that what they're playing when he jumps over the, when he jumps out of the water? Of course. Everybody knows that scene from free willy.

[19:30]That's like the one scene. Everybody remembers from free willy. I haven't seen it. Uh, can you imagine if Russell's ass cheeks are pumping against the glass in the Orca and across the way in the underground part? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sir. Mix a lot with like his kids there. He's like, no, this is not what I meant. Don't put those on the glass. Uh, so the other thing that was going on was that Wallace was actually not feeling great. He had a stomach ache. He wasn't feeling good. And I was the one who was like, nah, man, we've got to go to Gloufari. Like we got tickets. It's hard.

[20:00]This is the night we go to Gloufari. And I forgot to get the far right now. Wallace and Anna had already been there and wanted to go back as the whole family. And I was like, no, this is our family. Not a Gloufari. And he was like, not really feeling it. And we were meeting another family there. And so then, you know, I'm the one who says like, we got to go. And then, you know, my buddy's like, Hey, do you want to come out and watch this game instead? And I was like, well, you know, egg on my face. I got to, you know, I got to step up. Like I was the one who said we got to go to Gloufari. So we're going. Can I just say this, Aaron? During the story, Russell has purchased a self vasectomy kit and has given himself a

[20:34]vasectomy upon hearing the story. Okay. The idea of Russell going to a low sec, going to a flow. Now there's an idea. A glow. Like, okay, let's think about that glow. Second, me for a second. What would that be like? But Russell going to a Gloufari to meet another family. Who's also going to the Gloufari. Russell, does that sound like a good time to you? Rob, that kit. It's like a spork. Like if you turn it around, it's on one end is a vasectomy kit. On the other end. It's my taint pusher.

[21:00]That was the last episode. It'd be nice to have. Oh, sorry. Hey folks, if you want to find out why we're talking about a taint pusher, you got to go back and listen to the last episode. Last week. So we go to Gloufari. Gloufari. And we had a great time. It was fabulous. I enjoyed it. I love the lights. I love being at the zoo. It's the same. It's the same feeling to me. I don't know what it is. I love that feeling of dusk and the neon comes on. It's the same reason I walk out on the strip at 430 at night when we're there in Vegas. I love being at dusk when the neon comes on. I don't know what it is. You know, my favorite being at a zoo at night is fun.

[21:30]I, of course, went to a wedding at a zoo down in Florida where I was eating sushi right next to a sloth. Yes. Sloth was just on a thing. And I was like, this is the highlight of my life. You know what I mean? Like a sloth can hold their breath for 40 minutes. Wow. Yeah, that's so at 645, 630, maybe. Well, this is like my stomach hurts. I got to call it. Let's go home. Cool, man. You did your thing. We did the Gloufari thing. You know, I know we're going to go home and then I'm going to go to the nine o'clock,

[22:00]930, nine o'clock show. Nice. Right. Yep. And so we're about to leave the zoo. And Anna says to me, the love of my life, the mother of my child says to me, do you want me to drop you off at McNally's so you can watch the game? Wow. Can you believe this? I would marry her again. Yes, of course. Thank you. Right. Yeah. Shocking. So she, she drops me off. I go hang out with my buddies. I don't know if you guys remember this game. It was the Niners Bears game. It was like a wild shootout.

[22:30]I sit down and watch the second half of the game. Enjoy a couple of beers and a shot of mezcal. Then I hop in a Uber to get down, watch DJ quick. He was incredible. He was outstanding in the audience. He was like 20. He was like 20 feet for me doing all the great hits. And then I finished. It was like 10 o'clock on Sunday night, 1030 on Sunday night. And I remembered there's absolutely, there's exactly one bar near me that stays open until midnight and serves food until midnight and they have a burger. And I was like, this is my, this is my moment. I'm going to hop in the Uber.

[23:01]I'm going to stop at the monk's kettle on the way home. I'm going to drink one more beer, which was, I mean, you shouldn't count, but it was, it was high up in the number of drinks I had that day and have a beer, close the place down, hop back in one more Uber and get home. It was an incredible day. I don't know, Aaron. I think you probably should have just hung out with your family. Yeah, but that doesn't sound all that fun. I got to do it all. I got to do the family. I got to do the going out and watch the game. I got to see DJ quick. It was, it was amazing. So I, I picture Aaron's wife at gmail.com saying like, well, you know,

[23:31]Aaron, if you want to hop out and go to that bar and air, just opens the door on the highway and just like barrel rolls out. Oh, I was going to drop you off. It's fine. The interesting thing. This is where, Aaron and his wife, they're too kind to each other. If it were me and Aaron's, I would have been like, objectively, it makes sense that you just dropped me off. Like, let's just make this easy for everyone. Like it wouldn't even ever dawn on me to not go with what's most logical. Yeah. It was earlier. Earlier. I did tell you the most logical thing was to have sex by the red panda cage.

[24:00]Okay. But this is step two of this is now dropping out of the bar. So that's it. Other than, other than, uh, they're sexy. I had to thank you for jumping in the time machine. With me. I realized that I had not told that story. You're giving the full shots out to my family for a fun day that I had. How's it rolling going with Russell rolling on. Things are going good, Rob. I have a song actually for you to play. If you could. Sure. I want to hear in the mood, Wolfgang lore.

[24:33]Oh, guys. My typing is so good right now. It's crazy. So you can just let this roll for a little bit. So I was in San Diego a few weeks ago. We talked about this last week, but, and I went to a bunch of cool restaurants. Actually, you guys will be proud of me. I stepped back from being kind of the person in control. I let the upstairs roommate pick a bunch of restaurants.

[25:00]She picked like the Michelin bib, Gorman restaurants or whatever. Like the ones that get recognized, she picks some great spots. We went to one of them instead of telling you about food, I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell you about another experience there. And that was the music. Wow. And so this is the first time I've ever been in a bar. And I asked the waiter who brought out the manager, what is the music? Like, what is the playlist you guys are using here? And he told me about it and it's a playlist called electro swing.

[25:31]So it's like this electric swing music that they were playing at this Italian restaurant all night. And I was down with it. I was like, this music is such a great vibe. It puts you in such a good mood. What do you guys think of this? Like electro swing type music. So it's literally just like music from the twenties with a backbeat and like a. Yeah. Let's say cozy cover of the Glenn Miller classic in the mood. I like, we don't like, we don't have people at the house that often.

[26:00]And then when we do, I'm always thinking like, what's the, what do I want to just put on that I can let play for hours that everyone's going to enjoy. And this would be it. Like it's electro swing. Can I just say this, Russell? It's a baller move to ask them about the playlist. I mean, that really, you, you've got to get good service after that. Being like, you guys are playing banging music. Like you've got to get a free dessert out of that. Don't you? It was, it was awesome. So I'm going to let you do one more. Well, this one finishes up Rob. Cause I, I can't get enough of this stuff. The other one I'd like you to put on is pack up the Louie Carol Emerald.

[26:33]So this is the vibe of the music they're playing the whole night. And I couldn't get enough of it. This is also an electro swing. Yes. Electro swing. What do you guys think of the electro swing? I love it. I love this idea that you're somehow, somehow Russell is both the oldest man on the podcast

[27:00]and the coolest one. I don't get how it works. Like to combine these two things, most interesting man in the world. Russell's the second youngest man, so I ended up talking with the manager. Of the one restaurant we talked about a bunch of things, but he came out, listen, this is so bad. This is crazy. Russell. So I talked about the music for awhile. I've got all these pulled down for my Shazam. I was just naming song after song after song that kept coming on. And then the guy gave me the whole playlist.

[27:32]So electro swing, if anyone wants to check it out, it's playlist on Spotify. So that was awesome. Nice. We'll try it. I'll give you one more Rob. Then I'm going to tell you another story. The last one I'll give you is fancy a tipple, fancy a tipple Russell. You have to know you sound old. When you're listening, you're typing into Spotify, fancy a tipple this well, technically Rob Shazam. You can connect that with your Spotify. It'll pull up. That's a moonshine. Like does he want to run all these Jamaicans?

[28:00]Yeah, I was going to say there's a, there's a reference. It's a good song. That's right. So how are you going to be mad at great music at this bar? It's my new favorite type of music to listen to. I dare anyone to listen to it, not have it be in a good mood. So the next thing I was going to tell you, we went, one of the restaurants we went to, we were sitting outside and it kind of had like a New York feel Rob, where you're sitting

[28:32]kind of on like small tables, just sitting out on the sidewalk and serving you on the sidewalk. Yep. And we're sitting there and we can't help it. Over here. People come down, probably early thirties. They come and sit down. Hey, it's like this music clearly on a first date and we start kind of listening and the gentleman is talking probably 95% of the time within the first 10 minutes of their conversation. I hear the phrase, this phrase about 20 times.

[29:01]That's the thing about being an attorney. So this guy was doing like a work brag on a first date. What are your guys' thoughts on someone doing like that? Someone like the work brag on a date. I got, I got into this with Erin, the caller, uh, who called in, you know, to ask the question earlier famously, I could, I just, I don't want to talk about what I do for work and I don't want to know what you want to do, what you do for work. I just want to know if you're a good person or not kind of a thing, right? Yes.

[29:30]And she has the exact opposite argument and I completely see where it's at. It's like your work is who you are. So I want to know what it is. So I know who you are kind of a thing. Yeah. Maybe the line of business that you like, I don't identify with half the people, right? Half the people that work with just complete D bags and half the people are great people kind of thing. There's a mix in between kind of thing. So if somebody is bragging about what they do like that on a first date or whatever without being asked, I'm guessing they weren't asked or it brought up way more D bank, right?

[30:02]Like run away from that dude as fast as you can because that's all you're going to get out of them. I, I, I had a revelation. The last time. The last I've missed now two days of work for these trips, Vegas, and then going out to London. I have put on my out of message. Our listeners have been missing us too, Rob. I have, I have not, I have turned off my Gmail notifications on my phone and guess what? I might not be turning them back on.

[30:30]It is so sweet. You have your email notifications on. No. Yeah. Well, guys, I have a word phone and a personal. Guys. Yeah. I have a word phone and a personal. Guys, I'm a teacher. It's a little bit different. I'm like changing the world and shit. I gotta be able to respond right away to questions about what is photosynthesis or whatever. I don't know. They're asking these questions. I don't know. I'm like, I had you read a book. You should understand this stuff, but it's life changing to me to not have the, you guys don't have your notifications on. God damn it. No. If, if I want to look at my email, I look at it on my time, but I'm not going to get

[31:01]bugged by some email. I'm so stupid. Yup. That's it. They're not on. Oh. We can't help but continue to kind of just listen to this date going on in the background because the one guy kept talking and he kept talking about his job. And then the, one of the craziest lines I have ever heard. Yes. Yes. He says, the reason I think we're a match is because based on your profession, you must be intelligent enough to see the intelligence that I bring to the table.

[31:31]Wow. Wow. I literally almost like fell out of my chair. I was like, wow. Just blown away. I, if you would've just pushed back from the table, here's the, the chair scratching on the concrete of the, of the, you know, get out there, sir, walk away from this lady. You would have done her the biggest favor in the world. Is that wild or what? That's something, man. So he's like a real sapiosexual. You should turn to him. They're like, sir, you're a sapiosexual. You are turned on by her being smart.

[32:01]I would say that he's not. See how you smart. He was. Yeah. I, it's light of thinking based on your job. Yeah. You must be smart enough to know how smart I am. That's crazy. It's the ultimate compliment though. Who the hell talks that way? Cause you're not only complimenting her, you're complimenting yourself by complimenting her. I've never heard anything like it, Russell. It's brilliant. The final closing line, the upstairs roommate and I, this was the other one that I had to write down in my notepad during our date on this beautiful night. He's she's, she kind of, the one question we heard her ask, so why haven't you found

[32:34]anyone yet? She's kind of asking, Hey, what's what? What? What a question to ask. By the way, he goes into the whole law school thing. Great move by him. And he goes, now I'm in a different point in my life where I am financially accomplished. Oh, is this like an all time great or what? He's financially accomplished. Yes. Sounds like he follows like, I mean like all of this stuff, like he either one, he has like a guru that he goes to for like dating advice or two.

[33:01]He has like a podcast of some, like we should Google financially accomplished and see if some podcast pulls up. He probably listens to it religiously. I got a feeling this guy writes a lot of reviews on Yelps, Yelp and uses and uses like fancy language to make himself sound so smart. You know what I mean? This is this kind of guy for sure. Well guys, that's the thing about being a podcast. So it's Matt rolling going. How's it going with you? Can I ask you, Russell, by the way, so were you and your date just silent listening? Cause that's tough sometimes, isn't it?

[33:30]Sometimes that's a fun dinner date though, is just listening to another date's conversation. This one, we were sitting outside and so it's usually, it's kind of quiet occasionally. People are walking by or there's cars driving by occasionally, but it's quiet enough where you can kind of listen, eat your food, have conversations. And then if there's any lull, you hear the people around you. They're sitting, they're sitting 10 feet from us. You're going to hear it. Did you ever have to give your date? One of these though, like the wait a minute, wait a minute. You know what I mean? No, but we were both, we were both equally enjoying how ridiculous it was.

[34:01]We were, we were on the same page of like, Hey, I know some of us at this table are, are extroverts. We're not going to say which one of us. And I know we liked it, but we both are on the same page of let's let this guy talk instead. Yep. That's brilliant. I love it. Matt, how's it going with you? Good. Rob, if you could pull up a song for me and I think I'm pronouncing this right. Harry Styles has a new album coming out March 6th, but there's a, there's a song called aperture. A-P-E-R-T-U-R-E.

[34:30]Am I pronouncing that right? You can find it on the electro swing playlist has to do with cameras, right? Of course. I think so. But it, but it feels like a completely different style than Harry Styles. Normal style. Harry Styles. This by the way, just want to say that he's playing like 30 concerts at MSG and the tickets and you'll never guess, you know, this, the concert where everybody is saying this is the breaking point for Ticketmaster tickets for how expensive they are.

[35:02]Do you think my daughter doesn't want to go or wants me to buy two tickets to it? I'm going to see if I can get a nail polish. Are we talking for this one? Oh my God. Tell me about it. I mean, I, I got online and I was, I got in there and the cheapest ticket was 450 bucks. And I almost got it. I was like, I don't know what to do. I panicked. Can you guys see what's, what's on the, this is the cover of the album. See what's on there. It's right above them. Disco ball. Disco ball. Turn it up just a little bit. So Rob, how long is he doing the, how long is he doing the concert series? Oh, it's he's doing like, he's doing like a dozen shows in New York, like over Halloween.

[35:31]It's, it's crazy. And there's tickets that are over a thousand bucks. That's crazy. I mean, it's, I don't know. Who's going to get a ticket? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

[36:00]I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Right? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Right?

[36:30]I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Right? Right? Right? shed a single tear at that flaming husk i think about brad uh pit when he laughs when he's so

[37:01]high or stoned or whatever he is it's just hilarious great acting uh but we were talking about uh the 80s the miracle movie on netflix right now because it's olympic time right the documentary crying like a baby every single and you know what happens that's the thing right but now you got like 68 year old men who are reliving it and shedding a tear and all that stuff and so under you guys criers at movies oh are you heartless bastards the movie we watched we talked about last week uh uh uh oh my god the iowa baseball movie i'm losing my mind guys

[37:32]field of dreams i cry at the end of that every single time when he's throwing a ball with his dad and i'll tell you what my dad's alive i have zero urge to go throw a ball with him i couldn't care less about throwing a ball with my dad and every time i see that i still ball no more idea why i'm and and i cry commercials man like the google the google commercial gets me every year oh yeah the olympics coming up that's gonna hit you i mean it's i don't know like we could go

[38:04]down some deep dark paths here but i mean like i i sat at the breakfast even though they didn't realize like well my life's probably more than half over right more than likely oh my god we've all thought it here right like shit we're over 40 yeah like man if i made if i make it 30 more years like i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'll be seven years longer than my dad and like you want to know the you know the real worst part of that aaron yeah what's that the quicker half is coming yeah this like when you think

[38:33]about it it's just your life was longer yeah it's a shorter part of your life the next 40 so this is yeah i know would you rather relive your life zero to 40 or 40 to 80 oh zero to 40 no way 40 to 80 every 40 is going pretty good so far yeah i hear a lot of people talk about how fun the 50s are because 30s you're figuring out 40s you kind of get 50 everybody's settled in got their money kind of a thing isn't that what people have

[39:00]financially accomplished no not really no i don't think so i don't think they do it kind of makes sense to me you know it kind of makes sense to me so i don't want to get old i don't want to get old right like i do a lot of things to try to not feel old if you will kind of thing but you know it's not that bad things are getting things are getting better all that stuff but yeah that's when we become financially accomplished so that's it i don't mean to break it down but i find myself as i get older uh enjoying the story

[39:33]and just can't believe how happy people are with their stories stuff and i cry i cry that's good rob rolling going how's it going with you folks it is that time of year we are doing the first annual spooky song vegas awards congratulations for coming to the vegas awards thanks for coming in folks we've got various categories for the 2026 best of vegas awards

[48:33]congratulations honorable mention by the way to most drinks spilled to the guy that was dancing ahead of us who simply was spilling his drink the entire time and you could see the trail of spilled drink and when i turned to russell and i said oh look how funny it is this guy has spilled his drink all over russell was instantly furious he was very mad about the guy spilling the drinks he said if we're at a bar this guy's doing this and he doesn't get kicked out what kind of bar are we at it made me think russell this is kanye west this is yeezus okay and i

[49:09]gotta say i this is here's what you gotta understand about this album post dark twisted fantasy right he basically comes out with the album that to be honest with you is probably the number one that i tell close friends who ask me about this podcast of like what's an album you discovered that you really enjoyed my dark twisted fantasy has to be way up there for me so my top

[49:32]five it's such a good album so imagine you're kanye you come out with that album and all of a sudden you say okay i can make the perfect album now i'm gonna make one of the most i mean abrasive uncommercial like how would you describe this album aaron it's like i mean i know it's industrial r&b it's all stripped down it's coming from the hip-hop kind of flirting with edm like this kind of we hear more of this noise what's going on here aaron yeah i think you've described

[50:00]it accurately and i do think it's a very i think it comes out of a very chicago place in a way and i don't i don't claim to know it's a very chicago place in a way and i don't i don't claim to know that music very well but i think he was working with a lot of chicago artists and producers and thinking a lot of and because we know chicago is a birthplace of a particular type of house music so i think that's what he was going for in a lot of ways um and i think there probably were other albums in a similar vein at the time although i can't think of them right now um so yeah i think that's what was happening does this i mean does this have hold my liquor on it though uh yes yeah

[50:35]hold my liquor fucking rules and it does have jonathan medina's alternate ego on the track chief keef yep and and chief keef i think is a big influence on the sound on this track right like a lot of people are pointing to him as kind of uh one of the architects of the sound that's what i mean chief keef was from chicago so i think he's it's kind of like that's that's what that that sold this whole thing connie made this album when he brought

[51:02]in rick rubin at the very like literally 14 days before this album was released like classic kanye the cut he played for rick rubin was three and a half hours long and it was an album called thank god for drugs which was the original name of this album by the way great name for an album all-time name uh he he says no we got to cut it down uh west comes out and says oh rubin is more of a reducer not a producer and they take out every track deemed too melodic because they don't

[51:32]they want to undermine the commercial elements of this album right he's intentionally making this harder to listen to and he's not doing it right he's not doing it right he's not doing it right this album comes out of course it debuts at number one on the billboard 200 selling 327 000 copies now listen to this it didn't get to 500 000 sales it sold 327 000 the first week did not get to 500 000 the second week it drops down to 65 000 units it drops 80 in the second week it's crazy yes ma'am i read that too a lot of times uh it failed to reach the 500 000 sales projections

[52:08]marked west lowest solo opening week sales in the u.s i think they thought he was going to break 500 000 in the first week that's what it was so it did it did sell a lot more than i think didn't it yep you're right overall you're right you're right you're right yeah so it didn't sell as many as they thought and in fact i mean could this be marked as the decline because what after this right we kind of have messy album after messy out like we there's uh life of pablo comes after this

[52:34]right i mean and then i i stopped paying attention i mean i listened to the hell out of this album as i am sad to admit i've heard it so many times um and then i really stopped checking for him after this one so i for me personally i know this was the end but i don't know how it really went otherwise let me ask you because i saw a lot of things debating this when i was doing the research is this this has this been re-evaluated as an album that was more visionary now looking back on where rap went in the 2010s oh i mean yes there was a big revival i

[53:07]think of dance music in rap um like with one of drake's albums and a few other things but uh and i know chief keef is a really influential figure in a lot of ways but i i don't know i i don't you know i haven't read much one way or another so it's hard for me to say because for sure this is a turning point in his career like where you kind of looked and you said oh this guy has some issues and then of course after this you're like oh he actually has like we started

[53:31]just like outright saying crazy i mean there's crazy shit on this album too like yeah it's crazy stuff but and and to put us in to that i think it's a really good album i think it's a really good kind of where we are right now kanye actually a week ago came out with a huge apology for his anti-semitic marks in the new york times right like so i i know it's so easy to shake your head and kind of dismiss that but he also has a new album coming out so you know is that part of getting paid oh of course you got to put your okay now i'm putting an apology out there because we want to sell albums and yeah i don't know yeah i i don't know i mean this gets nominated for one

[54:07]he was furious about best rap album it is beat this in mad city by the way by kendrick you know who beat them macklemore the thrift shop album this was that year 2014 when he won the best rap album everybody was mad city macklemore beat mad city that's funny that's 100 on the site oh we got laser beams yeah we got

[54:31]there is some daft punk i mean how do we listen to this album i i was listening to this today riding on my bike through new york he doesn't have any fun on this album there's zero kanye like because on a lot of his albums he's kind of like having fun and there's not any humor it turned really dark and angry and yeah easy season approaching fuck whatever y'all i i don't know i

[55:07]just what what do i what are we supposed to say about this album no one is supposed to say anything about kanye right now whatever it's true this is the lead signal black skinhead you perform this on snl before the release which is like think about that you have kanye coming off my dark scissors fantasy you turn that snl to see him and this is the song you get you know what this sounds like russell what's that a little maryland

[55:33]oh yeah you think this guy's listening to maryland manson this is i mean this would be a pump up song if you didn't know who he was what'd you say man you think this is the sound of the beatles i was singing the beautiful people oh beautiful people oh i am a god this is of course where he comes up with the uh hurry up and get me my damn croissants this is like the screaming horror

[56:06]i almost turned it off this is just not what i'm into i i don't it brings me no joy to listen to it it's too intense i almost turned the album off on this one aaron why did you listen to this album i don't know man i had to as a hip-hop i think yeah i think i had i mean i was i was still i'm trying to remember what year did it come out 2013 2013 yeah yeah i think i was working a job i

[56:36]was taking public transit into the city to go to work and i was like working at my desk and i put my headphones on and like listen to some angry stuff you're like man i don't like my job i don't listen to something angry it's like that's kind of what spoke to me at the time i was it was either this or i was listening to this or um killer mike's album that he did with uh the guy from def jooks that they're now run the jewels but it was his uh solo album first mike is so good yeah

[57:02]yeah he had a solo album at the time that i was also listening to a lot lp it was killer mike it was it was produced by lp before they were in the jewels can you imagine taking public transportation into a job you hate yeah that's crazy yeah uh the next song a new slaves this has i fast forwarded to the part where it's a frank ocean just to give us a little break from the little little singing

[57:36]chipmunk funk on this yeah this is really hard guys this is incredibly hard to talk about i mean don't you think like what what the end of the auto tune isn't it if kanye didn't end up the way he did is this album better like do we look at this as just a

[58:02]yeah honestly i mean i don't want to be out out out out this is a six album on the list so far that's part of this right like some of these that we listened to are awesome and if you you put a bunch of ones that you really enjoy it's hard to continue to live up to that like we're sick this is six of them in the top 260 or 270 it's just too many does he have the right to make an album that's harder to listen to yes i mean he

[58:30]absolutely does but it doesn't mean i have to enjoy it and put it on the side of the list and next week we're gonna hear about the album that's harder to listen to we're gonna hear an album that is extraordinarily easy to listen to right like maybe it's not doesn't reach the highest heights but like we're gonna go from this to something that you can like just put on and it feels good to hear i'm in it this is the most controversial sexually explicit track you know exactly i mean with me you know i love a good sex rap i think raps about sex are some of

[59:02]the funniest songs of all time so clever me too but i like luda's sex rap i never felt comfortable listening to this song like i never i never wanted people to know what i was listening to it made me feel it made everything he said sound really nasty blood on the leaves this is a nina simone sample yeah this is one of those songs i got written about a lot because it's like what is he trying to do by sampling nina simone covering billy holiday

[59:36]everything this track and not really actually saying anything that seems to align with the sample now here we have somebody who is a big name and i guess i i totally missed the boat on him what do i listen to to to get into kid cudi he's got his own albums right yeah you know where i know him from is he was on

[60:00]uh comedy bang bang the tv show just looking out at blank faces not good guys this is hard this is hard to do a podcast this album man on the moon kid kid cudi man on the moon okay suggested that we could skip this album and no one would have been upset yeah i know it's it's it's one thing for us to double up albums skipping one altogether feels that feels a little dirty but uh i don't know send it up

[60:32]you know what we can do is we can get done early that'll be our good job this is your choice this is your filthy tanya bath you're bathing in i do like this sound it's like just a siren it's kind of a funny sound what do you listen to this one in the house area fuck no it was only a headphone album and i haven't listened to it now for 10 years or more oh did you have any like positive memories like when you listen back was it kind of like

[61:00]or did you like question what your life was like next time i didn't listen this week because i know i want to listen to it again yeah oh oh so you made a choice to not listen well yeah i don't want to go like yeah leave a pretty girl sad reputation start a fight club is the music video has tanya and kim on a motorcycle everybody made fun of it for years and years around your ass keep complaining but this is rob do me how you gonna go ahead yeah no no this is the song i like the

[61:30]most because it was it sounds like his old stuff yeah yeah and again he does a good job ordering an album i think where this you know he always kind of makes it end on a put on kid cuddy uh suit of action see if you've heard that yeah because because and the other thing is kanye had just come off working off is it the blueprint with uh jay-z before this album no really blueprint two maybe okay maybe the blueprint two yes

[62:02]we heard this one yes i have yeah i do like this one and you can hear kind of that that same kind of technical that industrial background to this right like the scratches and the squeaks but it's not so overpowering this is the last kanye yeah 269 we've had six you did it say goodbye to kanye you're taking my bit a little bit but

[62:32]you know what it doesn't matter because we're done with the album and now it's time for everybody's favorite part rating system wow guys this is an hour and 10 minute episode i love it very popular did it better waiting just play some hootie just go through the hootie all right let's do it cleanse the palette hootie and the blowfish album we're looking at cracked rear view let's just hit up every song on cracked rear view is that what we're doing

[63:00]yeah hannah jane yeah you know what you're right this is a good palette cleanser i like this one you know right off the bat here who was here they weren't there for a long time but they were there for a good time that's for sure all right next up we've got i mean just an all-time banger just wait just play it from the beginning you gotta play it from the beginning absolute classic banger how do i get it to fucking click that shit you piece of shit just click on videos

[63:31]get angry it's just no this is fine a pootie i just why how is the internet getting worse doesn't make any sense okay here we go this is a by the way played in chicago july 9th oh wow that's a great great start to a song this is so good with a little love does this one have dan marino or not yes no that's gonna be coming

[64:01]i'm almost positive that was crazy though i mean think about that 1994 dan marino's in a booty and goldfish video little do you know you've hit peak 90s it's only 1994 that was the most 90s thing in the entire world all right what else do we got in this album we've got all right all right we're just listening to this what's that you're telling me that randy newman from last week is better than this

[64:31]i mean listen to this now this is another banger this is your old folks home singing many a bra was fumbled no rob's redoing his bit from the i'm just saying i didn't i didn't hold my hand i don't care i mean uh yeah hold my hand so hard i'm just saying i didn't i didn't hold my hand so hard i mean uh yeah hold my hand so hard i'm just saying i didn't i didn't hold my hand

[65:00]i don't care i mean uh yeah hold my hand so hard i'm just saying i didn't i didn't hold my hand the drummer's got his shirt back on now if you if you hooked up the writers and editors of rolling stone to a lying machine or whatever they would yeah yeah they would have to admit chief editor is this one of the best 500 ever

[65:39]oh absolutely not it would just be going off the chart like yes yeah we'd be all right go to the next one we'd be zapping his balls like crazy i don't really know how those machines work all right only i mean wow we really do know all of these songs i mean this is a this is like room for squares right just you know them all who do you can only hope there they rarely touch nothing but the bottom of the net this is so good

[66:07]let's name everybody we see in the video i think that was here i saw shack i saw shack wow and they're famously from charleston university of south carolina oh there he is there he is so good we've got champion reverse weave sweatshirt look at that

[66:35]wow there's no defense for the perfect throw dan marino have a perm or just naturally curly hair it's gotta be a perm right gotta be a perm gotta be all right let's see what else we got on this album we've got running from an angel never heard this song in my entire life this is you're really making you're really making out with

[67:01]somebody if you're listening to this song you're getting this deep into the album you've been making out for a while this is the beginning of his country he's going country this is like this is like if you've ever like made love to somebody with a dvd menu repeating over and over that's what this is like the austin power dvd just his little head sticking out every time if i had a cd player in my car it was like a cent 10 disc changer i think this is one of the cds i would put in yeah

[67:31]i'm going home listen we're just gonna go to the last one on this album i know time number eight drowning drowning you're gonna drown okay we'll do time and drawing okay time hoodie yeah of course that link doesn't work because you suck google you're getting worse and worse it makes no sense all right they're pouring all of their money to that ai that's gonna kill us all well that's like my spanish teacher at school is using ai now aaron this is so good

[68:02]there's at least four songs on this list that would have been the best song we've listened to in the last 10 weeks yeah of course at least four i mean fun happy children we need we needed some hootie and the blowfish and they're coming in at the perfect what a great

[68:46]way to end a kanye album is by listening to hootie and the blowfish just like we knew we would we're so smart let's get into the rating system is this album i mean who cares guys is this album it's supposed to it's at uh for the next 240 albums we may have to have a few uh

[69:00]backups just a little fun to make us feel good going to bed 16 stones some help asleep yeah bush guys one headlight i didn't even say that this would be like my you know aaron was talking earlier about a day he'd like to rewind this is kind of a day i would like to rewind because it's album 269 i mean can you imagine twice in a day imagine you wake up what am i gonna do with my board aid you're going to sleep oh how am i ever gonna get to sleep i got so much energy

[69:32]i don't know i think of it as an energetic thing i guess uh rolling well-toned rolling bone and rolling grown what do you think uh we've got uh yeezus by kanye matt what do you think uh rolling grown shouldn't be on the list i'd much rather listen to weezer i'd much rather listen to uh hootie i'd much rather listen to a lot of other albums including um casey musgrave next week uh we got a little mary j blige coming up we've got radiohead the bends we've got nirvana

[70:01]unplugged we've got you know merle hager even we got california cation by red hot chili peppers and we've got so many speaker box and the love below double out oh yes speaker box by outcast we've got i've got so much coming up daft punk another daft punk so uh this is just we've been in a fallow we've had a fallow yeah a couple weeks here this is a tough part of the podcast russell what do you think rolling well-boned rolling toned rolling grown what do you think it's not my style of music one of you guys maybe use the word abrasive

[70:32]that's the way i would characterize it it's too high on the list i think six from kanye i think six from any artist is too many on the list so this is way too high rolling grown and i'll say this six in the top 270 for kanye and we don't have doggy style in the hip-hop world until 340 what are we talking about like what are we doing what the hell you you you put 500 people in a russell go ahead and say let them listen to those two albums back to back if you find one that

[71:01]picks that kanye album over that doggy style album you gotta get the out of here man get the out of here what are we doing that's ridiculous Aaron what do you think think about the hours of your life you spent listening to this album okay yeah wasted hours especially now that i've gone through this list with you guys there are things i've discovered that came out long before this one that i could have been listening to instead especially that was in the age of uh downloadable music and portable music uh so i don't know why i listened

[71:31]to this as many times as i did i have not listened to it again until tonight won't again after this goodbye to kanye rolling ground uh unfortunately you guys are incorrect shit okay this gets a rolling last one this is the last kanye album on the list we made it we made it through all the way through the list they they know they can't add one they're not gonna add no there's no way

[72:01]there's just no way we will have done all of the kind even if they drop them down the list we would have done probably released like five since this one right i don't even know but then none of them are gonna make it now russell i do agree with you you and i have a secret plan where if they redo the list we're going to restart the podcast from one okay we're going to start it all over again we're going to do every album okay we've already got the jokes it's not going to be hard next up we have katie musgraves with golden hour another country's album but what's crazy about this artist

[72:31]katie musgraves is she actually changed her name at ellis island her family changed their name at ellis island because you know how people will have the name where it tells you what they do yeah yeah her original name was supposed to be kz kz i mean what what does she run kz toys that was the knockoff toy shop that my dad tried to run oh what a disaster we got to finish it up part of part of getting part of getting on early means we got to get

[73:06]off early finish it kc her originally the family name was originally kc musgrave digger you'll never guess what her family did listen you've set bad up for his comedy wheelhouse let's hear it man oh wait we need a joke for the end don't say it yet man i know i already stopped i do know that matt actually went to bed actually not yet but i was

[73:32]just about matt stops his recording quite early did it better kc musgrave digger man what does that make you think of uh 20 trucks for 20 bucks that's a buck a truck that's a buck a truck it's time to say goodbye russell you're gonna take a date to the monster trucks that's something you guys do you think you'd do i have not i've taken my nephews before wow wow well russell you know what i would say in the

[74:01]words of hooting the blowfish if she wants to see grave digger barefoot bigfoot and the rest i would say let her go that's not the name of the song hey rob can you repeat that i'm gonna write that down let her go if she wants to see truckzilla let her go
