Kacey Musgraves: Golden Hour (2018)

[0:00]So people freak out, yeah, when you say you're going to the cardiologist with no background. Oh, I forgot we were talking about that. Yeah. Yeah, I keep telling people I'm going to the cardiologist, and everybody's like, are you okay? And I'm like, if I was a skinny person, would you say that? You know what I mean? Just because I'm eating this butter. But did anybody else ask Barry from Burnsville why he's had three colonoscopies already besides me? Wow. Did you guys catch that? His wife works in that world. Yeah, I assume he gets it for free. But that's not the reason you have three of them already. So am I the only one who is concerned about Barry from Burnsville and reached out to him? This is like a violation of the text chain. This is not good. This feels like when my kids keep getting reams of copy paper for Christmas and stuff. It's a workplace benefit. You know what I mean? Like, they get that. Some highlight. They get a box of highlighters. I pictured Chad. I pictured Barry. Yeah, he's getting a colonoscopy, and then I picture him going back for a fake mustache. I'm being like, oh, is it time for my colonoscopy now? You know what I mean? I don't know, guys.

[1:00]I am 45. My doctor has not reached out about a colonoscopy yet, but I got to get one. I'm looking forward. I'm actually looking forward to it. I don't think the doctor reaches out on it. I think it's on you to just do it. Well, reaches in, Russell. I mean, I know I'm not crazy. I understand what a colonoscopy is. Rob, honestly, the only thing that I've been more concerned about with people with going to the doctors is Aaron's been going to that foot doctor all the time. Yeah, I got to get there. But Rob, it turns out we don't get the volunteers. I keep telling you, we don't take volunteers. Rob, he's just sitting in the waiting room, though, right? He goes, oh, yeah. Can I sign you in? I'm here to give foot rubs. Hey, you get out of here. Can I please get an appointment, please? We talked to you last week. You can't be in this area anymore. Listen, in 2024, friends decide to listen to it. But you know what? The fact that I'm going to the. So nobody else here goes to the cardiologist as much as I do. I'll tell you what. They gave me a heart monitor I had to wear for four days. I broke it on the first day. And my wife is like, well, that's going to cost you $2,000.

[2:00]I was like, well, no. I broke it. Why do you have to wear it for four days? I mean, I've done the calcium test thing. And I've done the stress test thing. Oh, good for you. And so if they're telling you to wear it, should we be worried if they're telling you to wear it for four days? It broke. I was too strong, okay? I do look like Iron Man when I'm wearing it, though. I know we shouldn't joke like this, but if you could resend that podcast password. It still hasn't changed, right? No. Listen, that would be my last words if I died. I'd be like, it's under my Gmail. You know what I'd do is I'd simply have, I'd show my wife how to use our password management system, okay? And therefore, you would never, ever see anything. Because she has refused to learn the password management system. I have offered it over and over. I have a family password manager. She does not want it. She hates it. All she does, every time she has to do a password what she does? Resets it. Resets her password.

[3:00]Just resets it. That's pretty standard human behavior. I would say, Rob, I would say your wife's password behavior of resetting it every time is more standard than you having like a global. Look at this. This is every password that I have is right here. All of my passwords are stored. And I have it on my phone. I have it on my computer. I can pull it up at any time. Oh, you want my flying Europe locator password? I don't know why it's in there, but guess what? It's in there. Let's see what other passwords I got in here. Why do you have two Chewy passwords? Don't you just need one account for Chewy? Shit's fucked up over here, Matt. I need two Chewy passwords. Okay. When you get sick dogs like I got, you got lots of them. I got Greenlight. I got HBO Max. I got Hotels.com. I've got this one. It doesn't even have a label. Teen. Oh, okay. Going to skip on that one. All right. Let's stop looking at my passwords. Just realized. Why am I getting in trouble on that? Okay. It turns out I'm not the only fan. In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums. That's what I said by Rolling Stone Magazine. This resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music, excurried the order, and led us

[4:00]To making this podcast. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. It's a teen counseling thing. Okay. Now I'm going to say it. That doesn't sound any better. Nope. That doesn't sound any better. It's better than just leaving, oh, teen and, oh, bad password. Better go. That's better. Yeah, that's true. We are far from experts. We promise to do almost no research. All opinions are our own unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy Beck. Beck did it better. We are all the way up to album 170. We didn't even make a big deal last week, Aaron. I know. It was 169. Okay. 269. Please. Oh, 269. Oh. Reminds me of last night. Well what's funny is it feels like last week was kind of low energy because maybe some of us thought that wasn't a good idea to do that album and others of us thought we should go ahead and do it and then we'll let the listeners decide tomorrow. Yeah. Well, we'll see. I haven't edited it yet. It has to come out in under 24 hours. I'm in big trouble. All we are all the way up to album 170 and from Casey Musgrave to 70.

[5:00]God damn it. What have I gone back in time? What is going on? Why are you stuck? Please don't. We are all the way up to album. Matt, can you look up what 170 was? What if I was wrong? What if we did 170, man? What album would we be covering? Folklore by T Swift. Oh, I hope we get into some Taylor Swift content tonight. I'm hoping. Don't get me started on Taylor Swift. Very similar. Yeah. Russ had quite the issue going down with Taylor Swift. We can't get into it right now. We simply have to get through my intro. Golden hour by Casey Musgrave, from 2018. This is a modern country classic. And I'll tell you what, for talking about golden hour, I'd say little burgers. You know what I mean? They're my golden hors d'oeuvre. Our derv. Oh, I was going to say our derv. Look, I wrote our derv. I didn't say it. Yeah. What's your favorite hors d'oeuvre? Russell, you're at a gathering. They're coming around with hors d'oeuvres. What you're hoping they got? Oh, it seems like a pigs in a blanket type of thing.

[6:00]Oh, pigs in a blanket. Good one. I'm, I'm psyched when I see pigs in a blanket. I got to say in New York, I don't see that as much. Rosie, the only problem with a pig in a blanket, that croissant, it can be a little dry, right? Like you're eating that. And then you've got like a dried croissant that you're trying to process. You don't have something to drink with that or some Rob. I think it's a fail. I also will say after a while, you got to, where are you going to put that toothpick? You got to have a tooth. That's the problem, right? Where are you? Because you got to have a place. For a little bit. Right in the side of your mouth. You need a little flicking thing make everybody think you're real cool. Rob, I was at a conference this weekend, this last week and, there were, it was like an outdoor reception and they were doing like an hors d'oeuvre pass. They came around, they had like four or five different things. Right. One of them were these little beef Wellington little bites. Oh, they come around and the guy next to me, she goes, Hey, beef Wellington. He goes, why don't you just leave the plate here? Like in a nice way. And she goes, sure. I don't give a shit. Puts it down and walks away. Oh my God. Did he actually take the whole plate of beef?

[7:00]You couldn't, right? I mean, there's probably 250 people at this outdoor thing. And so they set them down. There were probably 15 of them on there and he probably ate three. And then whenever people would walk up and talk with us and be like, Hey, we brought these beef Wellingtons. Oh my God. That's a strong move. That is a strong move. Way to be a hit at the party. God, that makes me want some beef Wellington. The party. I don't even exactly know what that is, a beef Wellington, but I'm, it's like a, it's like beef with bread around it. Wrapped in a puff pastry, right? Yeah. It's kind of like the pig in a blanket, right? That's right. Y'all go step up. Did it have a little horseradish on it or anything like a little creme on it? There's something on there. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Guys. Russell loves puff pastries. That's what we're learning here. It's his favorite man. What's your order of golden? I was at a conference too, but we could go and they had like steak skewers that came out, which were wonderful as a little order. Aaron, we don't care what your favorite hour derv is. No. Okay. What is it, Aaron? I'm looking for something bacon wrapped, probably dates. But I'd go for anything bacon wrapped.

[8:00]Wow. What else is there beside dates? I don't know. Maybe a scallop. Bacon wrapped chicken is phenomenal. Yeah. Right. Sometimes they, sometimes the scallop or a chicken they wrap in bacon. Yep. Yeah. Oh, I do love that. Listen. A little paprika on there. Good little spice. Ooh. There you go. So you guys get me. No parody song this week. I didn't realize I knew one of the songs until it was much too late. Okay. I've got three guys here to talk about Casey Musgraves who are celebrating a lonely weekend. And frankly, thank goodness. Cause our legs are exhausted from Valentine's day, happening just, yesterday. I've got Matt Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Good. Rob. My grandma cried when I pierced my nose. Wow. Hi guys. I'm getting closer. I just want to say this right now. Speaking of piercing. Just get your tattoo. Just get it. Stop talking about it. Just get it. I'm getting closer to the tattoo, but I'm getting also closer to the feather earring. I'm thinking about going feather earring, blue feather. Ask Wallace, Aaron, would that be a good idea?

[9:00]You didn't seem the least bit interested in hearing what you had to say, Rob. He walked in. He saw Rob's mouth. He saw Rob's mouth moving and just got out of trouble right now. He's he's, he's, he's in trouble right now. He's probably interested in my password manager. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. It's probably a, it's been a big hit so far. Aaron, I've talked to you about what distract me during the podcast and now I can't remember what the joke was. Oh, I know. I'm going to get my ear pierced. I want to get a feather earring. Okay. Can I get a feather earring? Is that a no? Absolutely. Do whatever the hell you want. Is that mustache Rob? Of course you can. You can do whatever the hell you want. I think if it's like, cause like Mr. T had one, right? It's not going to be like a, like, I, I don't know how else to say it. I don't want to pretend like I'm like native American. That's not what I'm going for. You know what I mean? It's just a, you're going for like a Russell's give a big nod. I am culturally appropriated. Yeah. Oh no. And just even sure I do a feather. Might as well just get the prayer hands on your forearm too for your tattoo at the same time. Oh yeah. Oh, this is my big Kabuki mask I have on my back.

[10:00]It's a huge mistake. I realize that now there's only one guy who likes it. You know who it is? Me. Steven Tyler. I've got Russell in Minneapolis. Russell, how are you doing? You guys, I know you warned me about riding that Peloton in Vegas, but it's all right. I'm all right with a slow burn. Wow. There goes one joke during that song. I have to get rid of it. And I've got Aaron out in Minneapolis now, Aaron. Of course we are doing country and of course it's Valentine's day. So I just want to tell you this next joke has been perfectly crafted for this exact weekend. Aaron was telling me earlier, he was saying what the worst thing is when you're giving the worst thing to hear when you're giving fellatio to Willie Nelson. What's the worst thing to hear when you're giving fellatio to Willie Nelson? Literally anything would be like anything I hear is not. Oh, I'm not Willie Nelson. I'm not Willie Nelson. Cause that would what I mean? Like, Oh, it's like, Oh, this is. It's actually a redheaded stranger. Like this is like, cause if you're mistaking somebody for Willie Nelson, I'm just saying

[11:00]Like, it's you're a lot of decisions have happened to lead up to that point and you've made some mistakes. I mean, just picture this. You're doing that to a guy who you thought was Willie Nelson. There's only like three places you're thinking of that happening. Aaron, you got the truck stop. You've got the woods by the golf course what I mean? You know, like any, like a casino after the show. Oh, this was a Blake Shelton show. I didn't realize this is the best day of the casino I've ever had. It's a Dwight Yoakam show. I thought it was Willie Nelson. I want 200 bucks. I've dressed up like Willie Nelson. This day can't possibly be better. Rob. Oh, all right. Let's get it. Hey, I got to introduce myself. People don't know who I am. I'm soft to the touch. Feels like love. Knew it as soon as I felt it. You're my velvet Elvis, baby. Let's talk about Casey Musgraves. Yeah, I love it. Let's get into the voicemail. Sorry, Aaron. I tried to do it. I tried to move on too quickly there. Yeah, don't move on.

[12:00]Russell's giving me a stern look about the Willie Nelson Felicio bit. I thought I had legs. Honestly. Hey, guys. Just checking in and enjoying some more Jell-O pics. I saw that some of the figure skaters had to say to a song from the 1990s as part of the requirement. My question is, which song would you pick? And did you pick any song besides No Divinity? Thanks, Jeff. This is not Russell. Not Russ. So, this has come up a couple times. It turns out the ice dancing this year, the theme every year, you get to pick your own music if you're a male or female figure skater, unless you are an ice dancing. Then, they have what they call a rhythm dance, and they get to pick the type of music. Now, bizarrely, the type of music they played was 90s hits. Oh, nice. So, like the U.S. Did it to a compilation. It's not a compilation. That's something different.

[13:00]To like a mashup of Lenny Kravitz. Somebody else did Madonna's Vogue. We had, listen to this. The Canadians did a mashup of Supermodel, You Better Work by RuPaul, and I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred. Nice. We got the Spice Girls. We got, and then of course, Backstreet. Guys, if you had to pick a 90s song to skate to, what would you pick, do you think? I mean, what's a good 90s? What makes a good ice skating? What's a good 90s song, do you think? I got one. I don't know how you guys are going to feel about this one. I also don't know for sure if I'm going to pronounce this correctly, but were they called Shy, S-H-A-I, and they had that song that was acapella, it was If I Ever Fall In Love. I feel like you could. You're going to do an acapella song? Yes, man. I feel like you could. Like, this thing starts with like the, like, picture it. Like, you're out there, center of the ice, on the stage. Wow. And now I'm coming alive.

[14:00]Yes. I'm starting some movements. And I'm your partner. Right? Yep. We're going to look at each other. I don't want to ice dance with you. But you do. But I do kind of. I'm just happy we're going around. And then we can go right from here into the remix. This could work. Double salchow. Because the thing is, you never, like, they're dancing to music. Yes. But, like, you can never tell what the rhythm of the music is compared to the rhythm of the dancing. Whatever. Just do an acapella tune. I love this, Aaron. This is for me. It would just sound like skates hitting the ice. Right? And I'm going, oh. And just then, oh. That was it. These guys ripped this thing, man. Cheers. Look at that. Oh, my God. I haven't heard this in forever. Aaron would not finish in the top ten. Like, he doesn't make the NBC nightly replay of it. No. Wow. Russ, what do you think? You got a pick? A figure skating song you can think of? I'm going to go montage style.

[15:00]The four songs I'm putting in my montage, I'm going to start with. Real to real, I like to move it. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I'm going to throw in D-Lite, Groove is in the Heart. First name, Modo. Last name, Modo. Oh, my God. D-Lite, Groove is in the Heart. That is so good. The crowd is going to be amped. They're going to be going nuts. Famously, this samples. Shoot. It's the TV show. Yeah. Green Acres. Yeah, Green Acres. Thank you. I've seen that same TikTok. Right? Dig. A little Booty Collins. Yeah, right. Russell's out there skating. Okay, Russell. Yeah. The crowd is going to be blowing it. So, then I'm going to take a turn in the third quarter of my performance. I'm going to the Spin Doctors. Little Miss can't be wrong. Yes. That's so good. I got to play it. I love that. I was going to put these in later, but I'm like, I might as well just do it right now. And if you play that, you're going to win. I'm going to go back to 220, and there's a point where they, what's the line about something

[16:00]If you don't like it, they give you the finger, or there's some sort of like, if you don't like it, you're it. Oh, and if you don't like it, you can, what is it? I don't know what it is. This guy, this singer famously doesn't like Pearl Jam. I love these guys. What? Wow. It's very funny. He's still hanging on to the Death to Pearl Jam. This guy? What? This guy right here. Did he go through a thing where he couldn't sing for a while? He had that Julie Andrews thing where like his throat was all. Messed up. What, are you going to go to 240, Russell? Is that what you want to go to? I don't think 20. There's a line where he says, I hope you hear this song and it pissed you off. I feel like that would be like to the establishment who thinks this rock and roll shouldn't be in ice skating. That would be the, and I'd be like, just going around like with my arms out, like smiling super big. Here it comes. Rough Leather Fake Smoke. I'm going to piss you off. That's where I would be. That would be my old school.

[17:00]Skate with a cigarette in his mouth. Oh my God. Give me 99. I'm going to go with Jennifer Lopez, Let's Get Loud. Oh, the crowd is going to be behind you a lot. This is a crowd pleaser right here. Let's Get Loud. What is this? Oh, it's an official video. Let's Get Loud. Did she play this song? The crowd's going bonkers. Like this is a gold medal winning song. Yeah, this is so good. Russell, this is so good. Unfortunately, it's not as good as my song. No, I'm only doing one. But can you imagine a song that's better to skate to than this? You want to talk about a start. Hey, this has a start, but guess what? There's fucking instruments. Okay. And it's not going to be Russell's. I don't know how long Russell's out there skating for. There's fucking instruments. 25 minutes or something. I'm a long program guy. Russell, break out the long program bit.

[18:00]That reminds me, Russell, when I went to the theater and they had so many actors. Which song was first between these two? One or his bit, the other? God damn it, Aaron. Did you hear my joke? No, I was thinking about music, Rob. Well, I am too. Musical theater. And what if they had so many actors that they need a long program? The theater. That was worth it. I mean, it's okay. Pretty good. This song, Kissed by a Rose, I know I reference it all the time. I still don't think it gets appreciated. But think of this, Russell. I'm out there skating. I'm swooping. I'm gliding. Double axel. And now apparently they're doing flips again? I thought they were illegal. I don't want to do this. We're talking about ice dancing, right? There's no flips in ice dancing. Actually, they're hard. They're just not flips like you would think. Do call them flips. That's true. Okay, fair. That's true. But not like the quad guy tried to do. They only have the... It would be me.

[19:00]I would be doing flips because I'd be eating those chocolate-covered pretzels. You know what I mean? You guys. Oh, my God. I got a chocolate-covered pretzel story. Should I wait for... No. I was at the Little League drafts. Should we wait? No. Okay. No. I've got a... Have I got a chocolate-covered pretzel story for you? I'm sitting in the Little League draft room. And it's a... Like, it was at 8 at night. And they were like, oh, we will have snacks. And they didn't really have snacks. But at one point, they had a few snacks. And at one point in the night, somebody opens the bag of chocolate-covered pretzels and Starts passing the bag around. We're all at a table. We're all like 40-something dudes sitting around a table. I cannot be the only one who cannot eat a shared bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. Have we seen Mallrats? I was like, you guys can't. No, I cannot. I'm not putting my hand in anybody else's bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. Dudes are eating out of, like, pass them around. Like, here, man, you want some? I'm like, fuck, no. I don't want any of your chocolate-covered pretzels. There is. There is something, isn't it, where, listen, that's why M&Ms are such a perfect thing.

[20:00]Yeah, you can dump them out. Yeah, you can pour them out. But also, they're covered in a hard shell. There's something about somebody reaching in and getting, like, the chocolate. And you know the chocolate's going on your hand. Your hand's not going on the chocolate. Yet, the idea, you're right, Aaron. I couldn't share a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. It's Mallrats, right? Where Jason Lee wipes his ass and shakes the guy's hand. I cannot. But people of our generation have to have seen this movie. You cannot just pass around a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. Never seen it. Then you would have been fine. So, Matt, you want to share a bag of the chocolate-covered pretzels? I'll share it with you. Sounds good, Russell. With you? Sure. Anybody else? No. Imagine not bringing snacks when you're... Russell, imagine this. You're going to your youth baseball draft where you simply draft kids onto teams and not bringing snacks. Could that be you? Aaron, did you see, like, do they have the pictures of the kids? No. Like, did you kind of have to judge? No. No, you had your notes from the tryouts, and that was it. And you had everybody's composite score.

[21:00]You just did it by names? It was by names, and they had a score. It was a live draft board online. It's terrible. These are nine-year-old children. It's awful. Hmm. I'll take this kid who just came in from the Dominican, Luis Guzman. That sounds like it's going to be good for my team. I love that. Speaking of bags of stuff, before you get to Matt, I'm going to piggyback on Aaron's bag of chocolate-covered pretzels. I was on a plane. Ugh. The guy... Ugh. The guy gets the SunChips. Okay. And we maybe talked about this before. I don't know if any of you guys... The guy does the... Opens the bag and does the dump of the bag into the mouth. Like, there's no... He's not touching the chips. He probably doesn't want to get his hands on it. This guy... And he did it twice. It was a long enough flight where they did two tours with the cart. He really... He did a... Two times he did a SunChip, picked... Opened the bag up, picked it up, and, like, shoveled them into his mouth directly from the bag. He got the whole bag. What are your thoughts? The whole thing? Or was it, like, a three or four... I'd say he got the whole little bag down in, like, two to three shovels.

[22:00]Yeah. Wow. That's something I'm trying at all times to not do in public. You know what I mean? Like, I have to tell myself, do not go dump truck mode on this bag of chips. Pick it out like normal people. I do have to defend him a little bit, though, Russell, in saying that the SunChips bag, somehow on the plane, they have a size that is found nowhere else in nature. Yes. That size of SunChip bag does not exist except for on a plane, and it's so much smaller than you think. It is extremely small. I think it's like when I used to take pictures of my penis next to a golf pencil. You know what I mean? Like, you think, like, oh, there's so much space on this plane. Look how this bag of chips compares to how much room I have in my seat. I must have so much room. No. The bag is small. Does that picture pop up on your random frame inside your house every once in a while? No. It's just the pictures of Jenny on the toilet. Oh. Yeah. I made sure that those stay up there. Isn't that your profile picture for that website? You were showing us earlier. Yeah. WivesOnToilets.com.

[23:00]I'm trying to get you guys to invest. Okay? Because it can't be called WivesOnToilet.com if it's just one wife. You know what I mean? I only see two solutions. Number one, you guys start kicking in the doors and taking pictures. Or number two, I got to make some major changes in my life. Matt, what do you think is your skating song? I had a couple that I was going to go with. Well, I don't know if I want a montage. I think I've got the perfect one. That's how we do it. It would bring everything back. But I was going to do either Santa Monica by Everclear. That's a good one. Again, I'm not really thinking of the technical side of skating. This is just songs that I'd like to hear. Yeah, just songs you'd like to hear. What's wrong with that? Yeah. This is a great ramp up before any jumps where you're kind of just making your way around the ice. Doing a spin or two. And then the second song he wants is Father of Mine. In the meantime, by Space Hog. That one ramps up.

[24:00]You know, that is the song that birthed the podcast. Yeah, we wouldn't do a podcast. Is this guitar sound back now? I know Rock and Roll is back, but is this like super chunky, thick guitar sound back? Oh, yeah. Big time. Oh, wow. And then Shoe Gaze. Unbelievably popular. So that really heavy stuff. I think. No editing. No edits. No nothing. Just one song. I think you could play Higher by Creed and just do that. Just do that song. You know, the whole performance and go. One thing about this song, though, by Space Hog, a lot of beeps and loops. You know what I mean? Okay. Somebody was putting some beeps in the background. I don't know if I'd need all that beep. Okay. For our younger listeners out there, like Rob's cousin who goes to St. Olaf, we can't understate how huge Creed was for a brief moment. Like a brief two years, right? No. And I think they're kind of back now, right?

[25:00]Like they're, they're like, they were kind of ironically back. Scott, whatever his name was such a D-bag. Yeah. Allegedly. He thought he was so good. He thought he was like Jimmy Plant and Axl Rose and everybody all in one. That he just essentially got, kicked himself out of Rock and Roll for a while. But he's back. They're back. If he said he was Jimmy Plant, which I'm assuming is a combination of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, that would be crazy. That would be the opposite. I mean, I think, and I think people didn't want to admit that they enjoyed this music, But like, it's fun to listen to this music, man. It makes you feel good. And I think they're back kind of ironically now, a little bit. I mean, a little bit kind of the back just like how Backstreet Boys are New Kids on the Block and all that. There's a video of Zach Bryan singing every song to a Creed song, or every lyric to a Creed song. So did Creed have like Nickelback type backlash? They had some sort of backlash, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, for sure. For sure. From what I, I, I love Creed.

[26:00]Still love this one. I put him on there a little too, right? But it literally was, this guy thought, what, is his name Scott? I'm trying to remember. Scott Staff, right? Isn't that what it is? Something like that. Literally came out and thought he was like the best rock and roll artist of all time. And just was like, all right, bud like, let's not go too far. Yeah, like they're, the first Reddit that pops up is, should I be ashamed? For listening to Creed? No, you should enjoy it, right? Enjoy your music. Matt, that's a wonderful choice for skating songs. And I don't have any sort of. I can see Matt gliding around the ice while the higher chorus is just smashing. Oh, a hundred percent. If I could do three twirls and all of a sudden higher came on, I definitely could do four twirls. I mean, that would just take it from 10 to 11. Amplified. Right. Folks. Doing four twirls, Aaron rolling, going out to go with you. Oh, it's growing, going great.

[27:00]I wanted to share, well, I, I will, I, I was doing some winter sports this weekend. So I will talk about that. Wallace was watching curling and he called it broomball and I had to be like, well, I can understand where you're coming from with that, but it's not broomball, but yeah. But I, before I share, my winter sports adventures, I do want to say, I won a trivia two weeks ago, on a Tuesday night, just me and one other guy. Is that a new tattoo on the forearm? No, but I usually have my watch. I got this one. I got a whale. It's like I had a new, that's new. I got a whale. Thanks for noticing. Pull your pants back up. That's a good joke. And I want to say, one of the, I would say one of the big difference makers at trivia was that I was perhaps the only person in the bar who recognized both the song and the artists for Nelly's hit. It's pimp juice. So I was really proud of myself that I nailed pimp juice from the start.

[28:00]I don't think anybody else rose Rosie's wife at gmail.com was also impressed. Probably. I was really proud of myself. So that was a moment. Wow. Had to share. So, yeah. And then I would say, we went up to Tahoe on Friday night and then yesterday, Deb and I went, downhill skiing. And then, today all three of us and ended in cross country on our own yesterday, today, all three of us did cross country, yesterday. Wallace took a lesson in the morning and I went skiing with his two friends who were up there and their parents. So he has twins who are friends of his, who are in his class and they've been skiing their whole lives. So they're eight and they kicked my ass. I could, I, I did two hours, not quite two hours of the absolute, I've not done downhill that much in my life. I did two hours of the best skiing I've ever done. The steepest things I've ever been on. And these two eight-year-olds had to wait for me multiple times on every run. They just dominated me.

[29:00]Wow. I was like out there doing what I thought was my absolute best. And every time I had to just watch them, they say, do they say anything to you? Like, oh, good job. You know what I mean? Oh, you're no, no. What was really funny though, was that then they were very kind to ski with Wallace in the afternoon. So Wallace is like much more of a beginner, but he'd made great progress yesterday and you know, like eight-year-olds. Eight-year-old's confidence is just amazing. Like I had been skiing with these two kids in the morning. They were just whooping my ass. And then they say in the afternoon, like, yeah, we'll ski with you, Wallace. And so we get on the lift to do the green runs and he's like telling them what's what he's like, Wallace is like giving them the rundown of like how it's going to go. Like trying to tell them like how to ski. And I'm like, I cannot explain to you how much better these kids are than you and me. It was incredible. He was giving it, giving him the business, but it was a great day. We had a really nice time. And, every day. Every time I think about downhill skiing, when I'm not up there, I think like, this is an elitist sport. I'm not even going to worry about it.

[30:00]I'm going to do cross country. That's fine. It's much more egalitarian. And then you go do downhill for a day and it's so fun and beautiful. And then you hit the apres ski and you're like, well, maybe I could do this once in a while. There's, there's something about a ski chalet, isn't there? And I don't want to sound like, when I say that I sound like a real rich guy, but eating something about taking your boots off and that feeling, and then eating an overpriced chicken sandwich, you're like, is this heaven? You know what I mean? Like the chalet, I think is where I would hang out most of the time though. Yeah. I had like a, I had a, it was Saturday. I had a chicken wrap that was labeled Friday and I was like, I don't care. And I had a beautiful, delicious beer. I'm fine. I don't care. Like it's an amazing place to be. Yeah. So that. It's one of the few times, Aaron, where you're like, well, time to eat with a tray. You know what I mean? You're back to tray eating. Yep. I'm doing the tray. I'm getting a powerade. I'm getting a chocolate milk. I'm getting a coconut water. I'm getting fries. It's a wrap. You're, you're desperately looking around for someplace to sit and all their other thousands of pairs of ski boots that people have just left out.

[31:00]Yeah. Yes. It's the busiest place. You're trying to, you're trying to walk around in these boots that you can't walk around in very well. It's hard to find a space to sit. Every, it costs about $1 billion and they have all the snacks out. Yeah. Your kids want the cookie. They want the whole thing. They know what they're doing. Yeah. They always want the most expensive stuff. Yeah. He had a great time. I did some skiing. I was proud of myself. It's still not as good as the eight year olds, but I did my best. Wow. I got to share. I had one ski trip in my life. I'm not a skier. I'm terrified of heights, but I've been on one ski trip. It was with Aaron. I was with Russell. Yes. And a bunch of other people from St. Olaf college. And I think it was our, probably our sophomore year of college. I think that's right. Yeah. We had a group of 21 yet, so we couldn't find booze anywhere. We, so we had a group of about 10 of us, men and women that went, we took like two vans and drove out there. And then we had other friends that were out there too. Some of these guys were the guys that didn't like to pass the basketball in basketball. Wow. But so. So we go out there. Here are my remembrances. So I don't ski. One of the ladies on our trip falls, concussion, emergency room.

[32:00]Another woman on our trip falls, emergency room, torn ACL. We had two emergency rooms in two days. Russ, hand slammed in a car door in Bismarck, North Dakota, while we were driving to Bismarck. And hang on. I got to explain. Hand slammed in a door where he was sitting in the backseat and his fingers were. In the front seat of the car. Like the door closed all the way. It latched on his hand. Oh my God. It latched on the throw up. I can see. Yes. Russell, were you skiing in North Dakota? Because if that's the case, I don't think heights are what you have to worry about. We were in Big Sky, but we were, it was a straight drive. We drove overnight through North Dakota to get to Big Sky, Montana, Rob. Yeah. Oh my God. You went to like a real big trip. Holy cow. So on the way out there, one of our buddies also, this was at the point where he started hating everyone that we went to college with. Oh, right. And he threatened and demanded that he be able to drive his own car and said, if, if no one, if people didn't like that, he would drive himself and everyone else could ride

[33:00]In there. So he threatened to like do his own. He's got two vans and he's going to drive himself. Yeah. I forgot about that. So many fun people we met in college. We also have a condo where my favorite memory is one of the guys on the text chain wearing leopard underwear and going down a fire pole in leopard underwear. Wow. I'll let you guess who that would be. There's just, there's really so few choices. And then my favorite Aaron, we were not 21, but we did try to buy beer at a liquor store On the drive out there. And a few of us walked in. Yep. The guy looked at me and Aaron in the face and he goes, I can't sell this to you. And we kind of freaked out. He goes, we don't sell beer in here before six in the morning. We tried to buy beer at like 5 AM. And then the other favorite thing. So we had a great time. A group, different kind of people that were hanging out with each other. And two of the guys were kind of had enough of everyone. They went and did their own thing.

[34:00]They went to a bar one night and the rest of us went and hung out at the other condo. We get back. These guys are talking. You wouldn't believe all the women at this bar. We got so many drinks. It was the great, they're going off like for an hour about how amazing of a time they had. So they're going to go out the next night. And some of the people are going back to the kind of like, I'm not going to that condo to hang out if these guys are having all this fun. So I go with these guys, we get to the bar, it's dead. They look at me and they say, Russ, we lied to everyone last night was super boring, but We wanted to make you guys feel bad for not coming with us. There's going to be nobody. Like we sat at the bar by ourselves. We drank, but like they lied about how fun the bar was. We can't be lying about how far the fun, the bar is Russell. That's one of the lowest things to lie about. Fun, selfish, just selfish. I mean, when I'm having so much fun on this podcast right now doing this, I couldn't even imagine lying about having fun. That'd be crazy. No, no, that wraps up my rolling going. How's it rolling going with Russell? Last night one, I was texting you guys.

[35:00]I had a few drinks. It was Valentine's day. I got so weird. I realized like I'm the only one texting on Valentine's day. It's probably not a too good of a sign of how my night went. I would guess the right way to put it. I mean, I was at the Spring Hill suites in Truckee with my whole family in one room. So, and we were all asleep by nine o'clock, we went out to eat and then we got back. And I put on Taylor Swift red, it's got like four albums, four records. I think there's like eight sides to the album, right? Yup. Put it on, start playing it. And there's this guy singing and I'm like, oh, that's kind of weird. Maybe I put it on one of the side Bs or something. And we've, we've heard some of her songs before who was at bony bear, whoever she's got that duet with. I was like, oh, maybe that's just, she's got a song on here that I don't recognize or whatever. Start playing another song. It's still another male singer. Keep going and keep going. And I'm like, what is going on? Am I crazy? What's going on here? And I start Googling, I'm sending texts. I'm calling Rob at like 12:09 in the morning, seeing if he'll pick up and tell me what's

[36:00]Going on. And finally I look it up. The Taylor Swift red Taylor's version has to be played at a different speed, or you're going to hear something completely different. Like it might be the same song, but it's a male voice. It's deeper and wider grooves. That's what they call it. Yeah. That's the concept. They're looking for the deeper, wider grooves. Every post on this Russell is on Facebook, which makes me think this is a problem for people who are anywhere from 55 to 155 years old. But honestly, my guess is most younger people don't have vinyl, right? Like most people are using Spotify. They're not going to have their, they would never run into the issue. Let's see what it sounds like. I thought that was a male singer.

[37:00]I'm kind of enjoying it actually. That's kind of wild to hear. The parts that I don't get is you said the first three or four songs are all sung. Did you listen through all the songs? No. So speed that must've taken forever. That must've taken you hours. No, I think I listened to the first two and a half songs and I figured the first one. Oh, maybe I put it on like, cause I think there are H whatever eight, I think there's eight sides to the record. Yeah. And so I was like, oh, maybe I accidentally put it on side C or something and you're not going to get the hit song right away. And I was like, maybe it's a duet or something. It took me 10 minutes. Why? I would have no idea that there's different speeds. I just thought there were little records and big records. I didn't know you would play the big one at a different speed. That's crazy. Right? Well, it's, it's actually rare to have the big one be a 45 RPM record. That's usually the singles. Yeah. But it was, you could tell Russell's slow descent into madness. Because he was texting us. He's like, she's on the cover. He like sent us a photo of the cover. He's like, she's on the cover. This is not some weird album.

[38:00]So if the question is, did Russell have any drinks over Valentine's day? The answer is Russell listened to three songs played on slow speed in the text. That's about it. I think the answer to that is we were at this restaurant and I ordered another drink and the waiter actually kind of looked at me and kind of like made it clear. He wasn't going to get me another one. He gave me the gas station. Yeah. You gave me the gas station in Montana. I can't serve that to you, sir. He gave me the eggy. Did you slam your fist down and demand that he bring you out a drink, Russell? No. Roll the go of that. How's it going with you? Good. I'm going to try to just, I got a long list and I'm like, I gotta start pairing this thing down. So I'm just going to fire through a bunch of stuff and get, check some stuff off. Allegedly I wrote this down that, storytelling. This is now a big buzzword for job postings. And so they want storytellers. So maybe the giant back in the day who famously majored in storytelling, maybe he

[39:00]Had it right. I need to explain to new listeners, the giant was a giant. He was an enormous man who wore trench coats in college. He's probably six, eight, right? I mean like six, eight, six, a big beard. Big one. Yeah. All the college weird guy stuff. Listen, it's okay to call him a college weird guy. That's what he wanted to be known as he was a college weird guy. He wouldn't be up in a tree and jump down at you. And of course he did make his own major, which was storytelling. Okay. Go ahead, man. All right. So I think he had it right. We had it wrong. I didn't see Paul. But just to be clear, this is where we have a division of friend groups. You guys call him the giant. We call him big, scary. Yep. He was big, scary. He'll always be big, scary to me. He's big. Sorry. Russell is going to make a comment about why storytelling is an important part when hiring people. He's like, Nope. Excuse me. It's big. Scary. Point of order. It's big. Scary.

[40:00]Yeah. Hey, I didn't mean, Hey, keep going. I saw Paul Molitor at, at a random bar in Hopkins a while ago. He just walked in by himself, sat him on the corner. I don't know if he's looking to pick people up and got out, but I don't know, it was just, I wrote that down. I had that on the list. Was he wearing a hammer made shirt, Matt? Yeah. No I didn't, I don't, I don't know. You know, he's back doing a commentary for the twins this year on TV. That's good. He'll be good at it. There might not be anything worse in the world than a waiter who is upselling How great their carrot cake is and then the carrot cake comes out and it's just horrible. That just might be the worst. Like, can you have bad carrot cake? Can you fake the carrot cake? I mean, I don't know. I ate vegetables. Not enough cream cheese. It was very dry. The frosting to, to cake mixture, ratio was not good. I don't know.

[41:00]This was a while ago. So I remember, but there's nothing worse than a let like, I don't, do you guys order dessert a lot? I rarely ordered. I almost never do. So if I was going to order dessert, I'd want it to be really good. This lady talked me into it, right? Like we've got great carrot cake and can I tell you what I'm up to now is first of all, we get dessert almost every time. I'm just gonna tell you. We're a dessert family, but it's always tiramisu or creme brulee. It's never like, we're never thinking, although often when we're on vacation, Jenny will order every dessert that's on the menu. Like that's how big of a dessert family is. She'll order five desserts. If like the four of us are just sitting there, she wants to try all the desserts. Wow. Yeah. I weighed a hundred pounds, by the way, she's thinking about moving up another weight class. She is now in the 69 kilo weight class and she was talking today about going up Aaron. That would be up since she started lifting almost 50 pounds. Can you imagine what my life is like right now? I'm just like this. I'm like, I'm like sir mix a lot sitting on the big butts. You know what I mean? I'm so happy. My wife is getting so large. I'm tightening those toilet seats like crazy at my house right now.

[42:00]I still don't understand the toilet seat tightening, but the rest of it is just going haywire here. It's like those rally cars where they're moving around. That's what it's like when she's sitting on the toilet seat and don't look at me and don't think about what it's like when I sit on a toilet seat, I would never. Okay, good. Last couple things that too bad flight experiences, Russell one, the person who behind You is tapping the screen like they're playing a game or something, you don't realize a proper podcast. What do we do when someone's taking a flight? I don't understand. I'm trying to I'm just trying to get like an hour, you're doing horrible on the clock right now. And that means I can ask for the flights on, if you're talking a flight story, that's true. We did wait like eight minutes to Rob to get all this shit. That's true. Right.

[43:00]That was hard. I was dialed. But the person who's behind tapping the screen, like they're playing a game or something, doesn't realize how fucking annoying that is to the person. Yep. Matt on the flight home. I took a thousand and 25 hypothetical credits off of the Delta blackjack machine. So I'm going to tap it that you know what where I'm definitely tapping it. When that motherfucker in front of me leads that seat back, then you're for crime. I'll say it again. It should be a war crime. And then maybe the worst thing that I have found, I was on a plane and I was way in the back for once. So hanging out with all the normal folks and there was a guy in the middle, no, no guy in the end. On the aisle and a girl gal in the middle and the gal clearly had a crush on this guy or wanted to talk, but it was so loud because she's so excited to talk to this guy.

[44:00]And you know, with the engines back there and you can't hear, she was so loud for two and a half hours, not okay to talk through the whole plane ride, like 10, 15 minutes. Great. You want to take a little break, talk a little awesome. She was asking him and this guy clearly doesn't talk to chicks very often. Kind of a thing. Yeah. If you can read between the lines. And so he was just having a great, I felt great for him, but I wanted to punch the gal between the, I think it's no, I think there's no talking from wheels up to wheels down. I think there is, should be no, like, I think you could be there with your family and there should be no talking on that. It hurts your neck to turn to the side and talk like you just, you sit facing forward. You enjoy the quiet. You don't, you don't know how annoying it is. It's just like the person who wants to just see the outs. Out the window. Yeah. So they got their shade up. They don't realize that they're like blinding seven people on the other side of the plane. It's having the shade up, like just have a little common courtesy people. To be fair. Sometimes I've heard that people are sitting next to people who are very loud on the plane.

[45:00]They are so loud that everyone can hear them. Okay. Sometimes you can't tell the person to be quiet because when you do tell them, they get really mad. Do any of you have experiences like that? Yeah. I've never heard that at all. Would you say mad or emotional? Oh no. I would never say emotional Russell. Cause it's not wrong to be emotional. Okay. Yeah. Maybe I should have been warned. That's not a good word to use. Would you just tell them to relax? Is that what you do in this scenario? Yeah. Calm down. Calm down. No. Don't say something is too emotional is, is definitely worse here. Trust me. I told him to calm down. Yeah. Babe, you're getting a little emotional here. Let's tone that down. That's it. That's the end of my list for today. Rob rolling. Going. How's it going? All right. Thanks. Bye. I'm going to tell you what right now. No kids here. They're in Florida. What? I am living my life. I am. I am in a, listen, I should have known because earlier today smoke rivets door opens.

[46:00]It's me from the future saying, this is what your life's going to be like. The kids are gone. Okay. You are going to be able to do whatever you want. My wife and I today went out to dinner, walked down the street until we saw a place that looked good. We walked in, we had it, we got up and then we went over and got massages. Oh, this has been the greatest day. And that's good because yesterday was the worst day. A bit of a rough one. Okay. Due to some poor planning of nobody's fault. Okay. We're all equally culpable. It sneaks up on you second of all, when are you supposed to buy flowers? Okay. Are you supposed to buy them the day before and then hide them somewhere? You know what I mean? Like we can't all get flowers delivered. Right. So I was like, listen, I'm going to be on the street. Why not? Because you didn't plan enough ahead. Russell. What the fuck? Why are you making me say it out loud? Okay. I've not, I'm not, I live on a New York city. I can buy flowers on the street anytime I want. I am going out Saturday morning so I can just buy flowers and come back home. Boop bop. Bip. No problem.

[47:00]Problem. Jenny comes with me on Saturday morning. She says, I want to come with you. Okay, fine. So now she's with me. So now what do I have to do? You just tell her. I'm going to buy flowers. You know, you're, you're going to ruin my plans. We've been married for how long? Wow. Good luck with that. Just so you know. Hey. You know, I was going to get, this is the morning I was going to go get your present and now you're coming with. So what I'm about to say is probably going to make you emotional. Okay. But you have fucked me over. All of a sudden we start getting texts from members of Jenny's family, the Valentine's day gifts. They are getting, they are getting a lot of texts. They are getting a lot of texts. What I'm about to say is probably gonna make you Emotional, okay? But you have fucked me over. All of a sudden we start getting texts From members of Jenny's family. The Valentine's Day gifts, they are getting. Oh, okay. We're talking two flower bouquets. We're talking chocolates. We're talking like, hey, people on group text chains, Stop sending out your Valentine's Day bouquet, okay? Stop doing that because it really puts some people In a very tight spot. Is there anyone else on this podcast On the group text chain?

[48:00]No, absolutely not. Matt, what do you think? Someone might be on it, but they don't respond to it. Can I ask, I'm gonna ask a really dumb question That might get me in trouble, But it's not getting me in trouble either way. Are we really still celebrating like Valentine's Day? That's what I fucking had a bad. You gotta do a little something. It kind of blew my mind. You gotta do a little something. You gotta like acknowledge. What'd you do? You acknowledge it. Well, we were as a mission, We were, I didn't do much, but we had a little, Wallace and I had a gift for Anna And then I brought chocolates. You guys went to Lake Tahoe. We were at Lake Tahoe And then let's do it a lot. That's not the same. That's not the same if you both get to do it. You know what I mean? Like if I bought my wife like one of those sex pillows, You know what I mean? That's not a Valentine's Day gift. That's for both of us. What? Russell, we have literally looked at the sex pillows On Amazon. We did do some gifts, but they're Just like a little token each of us, Yeah, for the arcade. What a Valentine's Day.

[49:00]And so then I'm on the street. And now you got to step up your game. You got to amp up what you're doing. She goes ahead of me. It's a complicated story, but she goes ahead. I see a place selling flowers. People are lined up. I'm like, great. This is a chance. I'm going to go up. I'm going to buy these flowers. I get a bouquet. Probably, I don't know, six roses, Some, I don't know, orange ones, Whatever flowers are. I don't have time to learn about flowers. Okay. I don't want to say daisies because it sounds cheap, But it's a nice big bouquet. Okay. But they're orange. It's the one you can get on Valentine's Day. If that's your option. Now, what I didn't realize, okay? Because I did not take any econ in college. I do not understand apparently the idea of supply And demand. Oh, here we go. Okay. Cause apparently they had both. They had the supply of flowers And they were demanding $85 for the bouquet. Okay. I made $85 on the street for a bouquet for my wife.

[50:00]Matt, I have been married 22 years. What am I doing for the $85? Wouldn't your wife just rather have the $85 Than some flowers? No, I don't think that's a good idea, Matt. I'm not sure you realize how little $85 is to Rob's wife. That's not, she doesn't need $85. Well, I know she makes like $2.8 million a year And that's why Rob lives this big bougie lifestyle, But. Matt, you're drawing what is normally a very thick line Between wife and sex worker. You know what I mean? I'm just handing my wife money And say happy Valentine's Day. This is not like my kid's Christmas. You know, it's not like a bar mitzvah or something. We're not just giving cash. So anyway, that was it. And then we went and stopped and got chocolate. But that was my Valentine's Day. But what is it? I mean, I like, you live in New York City. What is a reasonable price for flowers On the day of Valentine's Day? He doesn't know. I have no idea. I mean, $85 seems like costing no business. It's clearly $85. Like that seems like, right? Like, I would think it'd be $100. Aaron, guess what? They could have said $185.

[51:00]I would have been like, yeah, sure. What can I do? Her, they're getting text chains from relatives With flowers and stuff. I've got absolutely nothing. Okay, I had to do it. I got squeezed. So people, if you're on a text chain, That's my message for Valentine's Day. Do not send out your spoils. Are you wearing like a Valentine's, Sweetheart shirt tonight? Ron, you got a red shirt on. Is that your Valentine's shirt? I am, but my size was so good. I put it on inside out when I put it back on. I got to share some with you guys. I had a big moment the other day. Can I share this with you quick? Yeah. Congratulations. I don't know if you've ever had this. Is this the third rolling going? No, no, no, no. This is where he's talking about getting engaged. It's a big moment. No, this is bigger. Have you ever had that moment in recent years Where you have the best sandwich You've ever had in your life? Oh my God. I'm so jealous. I had the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. This we need to hear about. Which subway was it? So I go to, it's a B-Paw one. Of course it's a B-Paw one. I love the oregano one. Oh, these subway sandwiches are pretty healthy.

[52:00]Well, I'll get a full-on meatball. So I go to this place in, right out, Right north of Newport Beach, The restaurant is called Vaca. It's by Amar Santana, who is on Top Chef And Top Chef World All Stars. Great chef. I get there. And there it's kind of a Spanish restaurant. They're doing tapas, Rob. So you can pick from all types. Wow. Little dishes. Yeah, they're not wearing their shirts. I get a sandwich called a Bikini sandwich. Okay. They had their shirt on that one. Nice. It has something called Paleta Ibirica. I don't know how to pronounce that. Maybe Aaron does. Probably ham. It's like a pork, it's like a ham. It's like a pork shoulder. It's like a cured pork shoulder. When they press it. It's got Manchego, which is cheese. Yes. They've got truffles and a panini. So this is a panini sandwich. And I took two bites of it. I was like, this is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. Is it just like this, Russell?

[53:00]Yes. It was the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. Russell. That is so- And then they just serve it as tapas. It's just like a little- There's five little bites of it. Yes. It's so good. I'll tell you a hot press sandwich, It's hard to beat Russell. Cause everybody thinks, oh, great sandwiches. I'm gonna go and get a big Club sandwich, lots of vegetables or whatever. Sometimes you just got to take that shit And just press it down. I'd say you'd be hard pressed to beat it. I don't get it. So yeah, I had to share it. If anyone ever gets a chance to go to Newport, Go to Baca, get the bikini sandwich Or whatever it's called. It's so fucking good. Rob, you can go to the music now. All right. Let's talk about the album. We're talking Casey Musgraves. We're talking golden hours. Let's do it. Oh! Here's my golden hour. Honey, happy Valentine's Day. Here's $85. We just passed the golden hour, Mark, ourselves. Oh, nice. I don't know. I don't know. Rob didn't agree to a time, so I don't know where we're at. Listen.

[54:00]Rob, at least you didn't get her fake sunflowers. Like I did the one time, remember that years ago? God, I forgot about that. Russell, to be honest. Yeah. You've come so far. I have. Okay. Now I'm ordering of the day before on dot com websites. Dot com websites. I get all my flowers on dot net. I skipped the dot orgs. I'm on dot coms now. Flowers.xxx. Okay, again, not doing more stuff online than a lot of people Is what I realize are some of my jokes. Not landing. Man, did you listen to this album? You know this album? I kind of sped through it, but yes. How do you classify this album? This is a 2018 country. It's on Nashville, MCA. I know. It feels like a Cities 97 album for us That live in the Twin Cities.

[55:00]More than anything kind of like a, It's not adult contemporary. It's not a, it's a fusion of a whole bunch of things, but. I saw this described as cosmic cowboy. Okay. And it said, and one description just said, It feels like a sunset. I mean, so if they recorded it in Newport Beach, Would they call it like cosmic beach or something like that? Is it cosmic cowboy because it was recorded in Nashville? Is that the only reason? I think she says, darling and I ain't, right? So that makes a country. Okay. So that's the country piece of it to me. But this one, all the this is winning country Grammy. Well, yeah right, it's on, I don't know how that works though, right? Like it's some, it's some pay to play somewhere, right? Like you got to choose as a record label Where you put your stuff. I mean, country Grammy, that reminds me, Aaron, Of when I went out, my car broke down. I had to walk to a farmhouse and the farmer said, Listen, you can stay here, but whatever you do, Don't have sex with my mom.

[56:00]And I was like, wait, what? Isn't there supposed to be an attractive farmer's daughter? Isn't that the joke? And he's like, no, this is a country Grammy. You want to try something else with country grammar By Nellie? Yeah, that's where that was going. Yeah, I thought we were going down baby. You're street in the range or street sweeper, Copyrighted, let it go. Aaron, it's not all about Nellie. Okay. You're only talking about your Nellie stuff. It could be all about Nellie. I have a pimple on my cheek. That's why I have a band. When it comes to doing granny, did it better? No, don't treat grannies. Who did it better? Nellie, obviously Nellie did it better. This is coming off same trailer, different park. She won best country album Grammy For the album before this, right? But all of a sudden think about 2018, right? Country is having like one of its true identity crisis. Lil Nas X comes out in December of this year. This is March. And all of a sudden country is like- I mean, your buddy Taylor Swift Kind of changed a lot of it too, Going to more of a folksy kind of country

[57:00]Than the pop country. So the whole 2010s was a big identity crisis. And that's why I think that 170 being Taylor Swift Is so ironic, Because I heard some Taylor Swift in this album Or whichever way that's working. But, so she gets married. Just before she writes this album, She gets married to the musician Russ and Kelly, okay? She's got total creative control of this album. She is recording this out in Cheryl Crowe's Big green barn studio. This was not recorded in a normal studio. And you know what that got me thinking of? What other albums haven't been recorded in a normal studio? Oh! It's time for a list. Now listen. I don't know how Raps will start from the joke. We have done a lot of these albums That were not recorded in the studio. Okay, computer. Recorded in a giant manor house in Bath, England. Okay? Nine inch nails, downward spiral. Remember that? Where was that recorded?

[58:00]In a nail factory. The site of Russell's famous favorite movie scene. It's the Tate House. He bought the Sharon Tate House And recorded the album there, which is weird. Great movie scene. Actually it's in the neighbor's house And not the Tate House, that scene, but that's okay. By the way, Russell sent us a video, A picture of him doing a thumbs down in the airplane Because that's what we always do. They paused it and told me to take my headphones out. He's watching that scene. No, thank you. He's watching that scene for real. I couldn't believe it. It's so good. We talked about blood sugar, sex magic Was recorded in a large mansion. Listen, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of these are large mansions. Okay? But not all of them. Rolling Stones. They had one in France in large. Yeah, they had the Chateau in France for sure. Peter Gabriel records this famous song Which always blew my mind when I saw the video. Wait, is this the list? Is this the list? We started the list? Yeah. Oh. He recorded this in a giant house in England.

[59:00]This feels like it should be on a Ghostbusters soundtrack. Do you remember this video? No, it was like all claymation. This was a VH1 blast. Oh, this is so good. Next up, Deep Purple. Oh, yeah. They go to record this album Machine Head. It's got Smoke on the Water. It's got Highway Star. Machine Head. It's got this song. Better than the rest. Space Truckin'. Oh, Space Truckin'. They're planning on recording it At the Montreux Casino in Switzerland. But it burned down. Frank's it. You're going to be out of here, wasn't you? Well, I can't now. Can I? Fucking you edited it out. It won't work. OK? I'm trying not to get emotional. Yeah, I don't want to sit russin'.

[1:00:00]Just relax. Oh, man. Rosie, he spent so much time on this list today Putting this together like. It's true. OK, that's true. You know you put as someone Who's done many lists in my day. Yes. You know, you put in the least amount of effort When every song from the list is coming From the same website. And you're just taking it right off the web. Like you're usually allowed to take like one From the website, but you got to have different sources. To just use one website source is pretty bad. I've only been transparent about stealing my list. That's that's kind of my bid is I feel very honest about it. You steal a lot of things, but you're very honest about it. The Swiss Casino burns down. What? After a Frank's Apoconsor. I know. Shocker. Unbelievable. Who would have thought that, OK? That's what the lion in smoke on the water goes. Frank's Apoconsor, they had to find another place. Even this website. The time was running out. It's Wikipedia below. Rob, look like fourth paragraph. Was it? Wikipedia site said an assortment of like They're even citing Wikipedia on this website.

[1:01:00]The whole song Smoke on the Water is about the Metro burning down. Right there in the lyrics. OK, next up. Be fair, chat GBT. That's all they say. This is like Wikipedia and Reddit too. Next up, a little band called Boston. We've ever done Boston before. No, Boston is paid to record an album. They get a fake band to pretend like they're Recording an album. Meanwhile, it's just Tom Schultz's basement. He's recording the whole album by himself. Nice. Yes. That's awesome. Very Billy Corgan of them. This, of course, is. Yeah, they were on the list too. For Siamese Dream was on here, I think. On this list, which I'm reading to you. Of course, this song, Aaron, four play for a long time, But just like last night. No, skip the four play part here. Let's get just right into a long time. Unlike last night. Boston, he recorded this song all by himself In the basement, Russell.

[1:02:00]Is this, can you think of anything that's Been this good recorded in a basement? It's just one guy. Boston's just one guy. Yeah. I never do that. Russell cannot think of anything as good As it's been recorded in a basement. That's not good for us. And then finally, this song was recorded on a tour bus Driving down the road. Jackson Brown? Jackson Brown running on empty and literally Recorded on the tour bus. And then finally, did you guys ever run out of gas? Ever have. No, no. You? No. No. Yeah, it was too scarce. I push it very close on, I would say. I would say I'm almost like at burying the needle on probably 25% of my Phillips, though, or 30% of them. Like I run it too close, way too often.

[1:03:00]Next up, this artist goes to a giant house out In Los Angeles with the Dust Brothers. And guess what? It was called The Boat. It's back outside of the studio. So guys, when we're doing a giant house In Los Angeles that didn't burn down, Russell, who did it better? Beck did it better. Wow. Is that what we're doing next summer? Is renting a giant house at the beginning of the summer And cranking up 12 episodes? Yes, eight episodes just to be done. Yes, we are. We're doing our getaways. Or Beck did a better getaway. And guess what? The retreat part of it, you want to buy a ticket And come with us out to that house? Call 802-277-BEC and say, I want in, OK? Fifth Collar is going to get that 85 bucks a ticket. I want, we sold tickets. If, oh, hey, 105 if you buy up the day of.

[1:04:00]If we sold tickets to hang out with us At our podcast recording getaway, It's just going to be us and John for me dying it, right? Yep. That's it. That's it. Yeah, that's probably. Maybe Jeff from Apple Valley now. Apparently he listens all the time. Oh, wow. Maybe there's another one. He's been texting more dumb stuff on the chain, So that makes sense. Listen, OK? He has not been by the way. What the hell are you talking about? I don't know. It's just fun to say. This album comes out. I will. I don't know. He was very good at finding crime reports. He knew like he knew right where to buy. He came on. He was on it. We're not going to get into it. No, we cannot. This guy, I was out to dinner with my wife. I just saw a text message of a picture of a warrant. And I told her, I go, I got to go to the bathroom. I got to go to the bathroom right now. OK, I got to read this text. What could be positive when you're when you get texted A picture of a warrant, you're reading that shit. Yeah.

[1:05:00]Holy shit. All right, that's all I'll say about that. I couldn't read it very well. There's so many words. I was like, is this what this is a Russell's job is like? I was like, I don't understand any of this. I looked at it for two seconds. I was like, I'm bored. Oh, well, time to fake wash my hands And walk back upstairs. One all four. By the way, Matt, I've been trying to do the taint press. It's not as intuitive as I thought. Did you get the hook? It's tough. Pretty easy. No, I haven't gotten the hook. We haven't made our key chains yet, Russell. But we're going to. This was nominated for four Grammys. It wins every single one. Album of the Year, best country album, best country song, And best country solo performance. This wins Album of the Year, the Grammys, the CMAs, And the American Country Music Awards And wins which only two other albums have ever done before. And I didn't look up what the two of those two albums are. That really pisses me off. Let's get into I don't know what to say.

[1:06:00]Let's get into a golden hour. Slow burn. This is what an opener is. Intro to Golden Hour has been a slow burn. She has talked about composing this song well on LSD. Oh, yeah. And the production. Part of me thinks that's part of the reason. I liked Album. That's given away my ranking. Part of me thinks there's probably Rolling Stone people That like it because there's drugs involved With part of the story behind the album. Yeah. I think it's the story is big. Yeah. Can't disagree with you, Russell. The production specifically mentioned Neil Young and Shade. Obviously Neil Young for recording in a barn. There was I got to say I love listening to this album On speaker. I listened to this out in the living room. Jenny loved it. We had a great time on headphones. This was processed for voices. And I'm not a critic. I if you're into it, that's fine. But I mean, there's an echo to her voice. It was so processed that I was like, oh, I this is so Different than anything I've heard before.

[1:07:00]I don't know if I'm picking up the Shade influence. What do we where we come up with that? Just kind of the space maybe in the I read it. Minimalism. Okay. Oh, it's kind of the space he beat in the back. I don't know. We listen to the car today. We stopped our usual usually do just Zach Bryan all the way Home from. Oh, yeah. Lately it's been it's been bad bunny nonstop in our house Even while it's now request bad bunny. But we paused Zach Bryan and bad bunny to put this on today. I'm making my kids request Kid Rock. Thank you very much. And listen, Kid Rock got a lot of criticism this weekend. We can all admit it. But he couldn't perform it, right? He couldn't even like do his one song. How sad. Listen, I'm not defending Kid Rock. I'm not defending it. I'm not even criticizing his politics. I'm just saying it fucking sucks that you like we're so old Now that like the guy who did the one song that like Russell And I saw him in concert. He can't even come out and do his song anymore. Like that's where we're at in life. It's true. I'll criticize his politics, but I will say

[1:08:00]I would have bought is a great song. Lonely weekend finding peace and being alone. We get guys, this is a beautiful album. I mean, this is a is it a country album? It's very pretty music. I would I don't I guess I would have missed that this was country Unless it kind of feels like a Like a like balance from if you took a chicks album And took a ballad from it. That's what I hear. I suppose she's talking about Cowboys. I'm all the songs to space cowboy. We cover that once on the Patsy Klein album. Oh, we did. Wow. Butterflies. This is the best country solo performance. Musgraves is one of her favorites. Musgraves. She was heavily influenced by Patsy Klein. We've talked about that before. I this is a time in country music that just missed me. Just totally. I'm impressed. It's on the list, though. And it's listening to thousands. Like I've heard I've heard snippets of it a lot

[1:09:00]Because Anna's listened to it a lot. And then today she was like, I don't know, take it or leave it. But if you're hitting the right time, Like it's a lot of it is boring. And I almost mean that as a compliment. Like you can put it on and just have it on. And it's not going to distract you, but it is pleasant. And I think that has a certain appeal. Oh, oh, what a world. This one had a little vocoder on it, a little auto tune at the beginning. Like the Daft Punk little. Yeah, I'm sitting there as a robot singing along. But it was brief. I got worried a little bit that it was going to completely side rail The album and it didn't I was like tastefully done. Now, this next song, I think we can all relate to Called Mother. It comes by Danzig. Yeah, oh, when's Danzig on the list? She wrote this song when her mom texted her a picture of her hands And Musgrave was at home tripping on LSD.

[1:10:00]Oh, God. I think the LSD gets I think it gives it at least A seventy five point bump from the editor's rolling. Is there anything moms love to do? More than reach out to you when you're blasted? Just absolutely in a state where you don't want to talk on the phone. You cannot talk on the phone. That is when moms love to call with some important information. So, Rob, you strike me as kind of like a mama's boy. Like my guess is when your mom calls, you do you always pick up? Do you send her to voicemail? What's your what's your pick up when your mom calls? My mom and I have talked on the phone maybe once in the last three years. Well, we are the same person. We when I used to when we used to call my mom at home, I don't know, When like in college or whatever, you always knew when it was a commercial On the TV, because she would talk to you. And then you'd be talking about something she'd be like, up, I got to get going. OK, you just knew the show came back out because it's like great. And guess what? I love her even more for it. Thank you, mom. I don't want to watch the freezer to great.

[1:11:00]Same time. What's that? You were watching Freezer at the same time, you and your mom. Yeah, no. She was watching all shows about women being murdered by their husbands. A classic mom bet moms love that stuff. Aaron, Matt, what's your what's your style? Do you call your mom? Does your mom call you? Do you always pick up? I got to know the style. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's not like we call all the time, but there's a lot of There's not also a lot of like calling and chit chatting Just to see how her day is. And she doesn't call me just to check in with you, but talk to her fairly Often, a lot of texts, a lot of text messages back and forth. I text my mom more than I call her often enough. But I always if she calls me a pickup, but it's like she doesn't Call just to chat either. So if she calls me, there's a reason. I can tell you what, sometimes I'm getting texts from my mother In law of flowers that she's getting for Valentine's Day. I'm sending those. Don't need them. She's still listening to the podcast. I assume you're missing out on this.

[1:12:00]How could you miss out on this? Pressure, this Goldie nuggets. Love is a wild thing. I enjoyed this. And this is if you know what? I don't know where it's going to break. This is a fantastic album. It's super fun to listen to. Pleasure is the right word. Are used earlier. I like I enjoy it. Sounds good, man. I had no knowledge of Casey Musgraves whatsoever. I love this album. I thought it was fun to listen to. And I'll tell you what, this could be a make and love album. This could be a put the album on. I mean, and you insert your penis. It feels like when you throw that out there, We all have to try it and report back. I think we've thrown that other times. It hasn't happened, but thinking about you guys having sex To that flute album makes me happy. Well, I guess I'm going to change My plans for that dancing album. We know now if Russell's if Russell puts up The now playing light with this album,

[1:13:00]We know it's going. Oh, yeah. Oh, 100 percent space cowboys. This song is nice. This we've listened to this was the one We listen to that on the Patsy Klein. This one best country song at the Grammys. Do do me a favor, though. OK, play me We Kiss in the Shadows. Just pause it and play We Kiss in the Shadows. Or we kiss in a shadow from the King and I. We kissed in a shadow. We kiss in a shadow. We kiss. We kiss in a shadow from the King and I. No, I don't play the Sonny Rollins one Because we won't understand we'll lose the melody in a shadow. We kiss in a shadow type in King and I. OK, don't play the Nilsa DACA one, King and I. Oh, I was I'm used to the porn parody, the King in I. I don't know which I don't know which recording is the right one, But I swear she's I swear that's what this melody is.

[1:14:00]You and over. Oh, boy, this is your brother. Russell, how many times have you seen this? You know what I mean? This week. I I spent I split my time between this and that Olympic documentary At the Haiti hockey team. You just missed that. May you just miss the melody that they're quoting. Aaron, I'm telling you, She's quoting the We Kiss in the Shadow melody. I'm going to Google it. Wow. You think she can soothe your brother? No, I don't think she needs to be sued. I mean, nothing's new under the sun, right? But I think that's where how the song was inspired. And I'm going to say it again. This is 1956. If you want to guess why old people are so lame, this is it. This is the stuff they're listening to. Is they're watching this movie?

[1:15:00]I haven't seen a single thing transform. Ruff, this is the stuff they click on on YouTube to listen to. Like, your mom's clicking to listen to this at night. Like, when she's hanging up on you, it's because she's scrolling YouTube. She's doom scrolling, listening to highlights of the Keganite. My mom is not watching the Keganite, I'll say this. If if Yule Brenner killed his wife and put her in a vat of acid And then went to New Mexico, she would watch that show. He's not watching this. I'm sorry, we should go back to Space Cowboy, Which is my favorite song on the album. By the way, the Space Cowboy. She's saying you can have your space cowboy. Talk to her. They're going to fence you in. That's the thing that makes a country right there when she says I ain't going to fence you in that. Now it's a country album. You said Desperado talking about breaking up with somebody. And she saw a stallion run free. So she wrote the song. And I was thinking, this is probably what my ex-girlfriends thought When they don't mean I'm sorry. Where did she see a stallion run free?

[1:16:00]What the hell? Where does she live that she's free running stallions? Is she on the outer banks? Aaron, they're all over Nashville, Texas. OK, all right. Happy and sad. Now, this is where we start to go A little bit different on this album. I mean, we have more drums here. It's almost like this is so Taylor Swift to me, by the way. She's a North Desh. She's from North Texas, between Shreveport and Dallas. I don't know how many Wild Scouts. I don't know. How many are there? Well, that reminds me of There are these two guys in my high school. You know, and they had to do a project Right on US Highway 69. Nice. I lived on US Highway 69. It was right through Ankeny. Hey, just in time for Valentine's Day. Listen, man Talking about wild stallions,

[1:17:00]I had two guys in my high school. They, to graduate, they had to do a senior project Where they talked about famous people from the past. And you know what they did? They brought guys from the past there. I'll never forget those two guys in high school, Bill and Ted. Wild stallions, they were in Wild Stallions. Velvet Elvis, that was worth it. Rosie, you think kids are like In Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure if we show it to them? Oh, yeah, I think kids like the historical stuff. We just watched the most recent two nights at the museum And like while seats that shit up. Yeah, I think that thing, too, of dumb guys doing stuff. Yes, never get told. It's it's basically what the king and I is about. You think, well, this reminds me, Russell, I had a friend, Steve, Put a velvet painting in his basement of a topless woman. I can picture it in my head right now. Like I'd go over there all the time in middle school.

[1:18:00]Such a developmental age for me. God, what would you pay right now, Aaron, To get a nude velvet painting in your house? Wouldn't that be awesome? $50 to $75 or $85? I would. I'd pay that a second. How come I don't get gifts for Valentine's Day, by the way? What the fuck? She's given up. She's given up. That's a great point, man. In a good way, she says this is a dumb holiday. Time to be done. We've been married 22 years. You're saying that about her birthday, too. Wonder Woman. By the way, same 69. You could just go right from Ankeny down to Golden, Texas. Incredible. Run right into Casey Musgrave. Also, Mankato. I think you can get to Mankato through 169. It turns into 169 at some point. But is there a chance that my wife grew up on Highway 69, too? My wife. Huh.

[1:19:00]Now, this is crazy. 69 to Albert Lee. Oh. Oh, maybe not. Maybe not Mankato. Listen to this. All of a sudden, third from the end, we get a disco song. It ends at Albert Lee. Casey Musgraves was on a huge Bee Gees kick, Which, by the way, I did my random number generator date and listened to our episode About Saturday Night Beaver. Guess what? It was good. It was funny. I enjoyed it. It had a song about Matt. Watched like Matt likes to watch cows pee. I had forgotten about that song. That's a deep gut. So is this the kind of thing that like Country music purists got at some point? Like, what's going on? Like, really, this is country music or is that over now? They didn't have time to be mad about this, Aaron, Because within nine months, There was a black guy rapping country that Casey Musgraves Looked like Loretta Lynn.

[1:20:00]You know what I mean? They were like, actually, we love this shit. Yeah, disco. We like it. Can you imagine something that you care less about Than what like the Grand Ole Opry thinks about modern country? Right. Golden hour. She's from Golden, Texas. Aaron, lover. She's talking about how this is such a great time in her life Because she had just gotten married. She was in a golden hour of her personal. She did divorce the guy two years later. OK, so this marriage is over. You guys know what the golden hour is, technically? Yeah, when you're taking photos. The last hour before, since it looks good. Where the light is perfect. Listen, if you're going to take a picture of you peeing On your loved one, it's the best time to do it. Aaron, I only did one golden hour joke. What do you think of that? It's pretty strong. Yeah, it's maturity. Sometimes my strength just isn't even my huge arms. OK, it's in my mind palace

[1:21:00]Where I think about jokes like that for weeks. And then finally, Rainbow, this has become an LGBTQ anthem. Oh, what a fun way to end the album, by the way. It's a great song. This is the only song I really knew on the whole thing. This is, I thought the whole album was. This is an album for me, guys, that I am going to play on the boat at the cabin. This is another like public. We've talked about this being in public with people. What album can you put on? I think this is a safe choice. It is a safe choice for a group, I would say. Got rave reviews at my house. We'll see later on the I thought of a joke, but I can't say there. And it's too dirty. We'll see what this gets on the getting fingered meter. Oh, geez. But first, before we do that, we have to see what, by the way, This sounds kind of a tearjerker. It's hard to listen to with Rob making finger begging jokes at the same time.

[1:22:00]Well, it's almost like we're out of freedom of sincerity. I feel like there's a little something going on here. Oh, you think there's so many things going on wrong in my life That I don't want to face it and I use humor to hide that fact. Well, I wasn't trying to diagnose you on the podcast. You like feed, Aaron. Listen, this, of course, is 270 on the list. OK, 270. We're all the way up to 270. We're hearing an album like this. Is this rolling well tone? Is this perfect at 270? OK, it's 2018's country. It's this and Taylor Swift is all we've heard so far. If it's perfect right here, rolling well tone. Is this a rolling groan? OK, we should have heard this not now later. Let's push it back. The golden hour would be at, I don't know, two o'clock my time. Instead of full 20, like it is now, that would be a rolling groan.

[1:23:00]Or is this a rolling bone? OK, it shouldn't be this low on the list. It should be higher up, which, of course, is a lower number. OK, and I know what you're thinking, higher up. OK, what are we taking LSD and writing an album? You know, some people do drugs and do creative stuff And nobody listens at all. Nobody. Nobody listens. Possible. Boy, what if nobody listened to this episode? Is it still worth our time? What do you think the lowest number of listeners we've ever had For an episode like actual people that how about you had to listen At least to thirty one minutes, like under five for an episode or not? Yeah, I bet. Well, episode zero. There's no way people made it through episode zero. I still haven't been able to go back and listen to that. No way. I don't think we've I'm sure we've never been under five. Guys, I'm telling you, treat yourself tomorrow. Tomorrow is President's Day. Get yourself a president. OK, get yourself a nice president wrapped in a bow.

[1:24:00]Pick a random number from like fifty to two hundred. Go back and listen to that episode of our podcast. You know, who had a president? It was actually a or a Phillies player. Nick Casiano said a president day in the dugout. They cut his ass for it. Well, about that, what? These are the dugout. They yanked him. They took him out of the game last year. He got pissed over it. So he went and got a beer from the clubhouse, brought the beer into the dugout. And they cut him for it this year. Wow. A president, he went out of his way to say that was the beer was. Where did you even get a president? And those from Costa Rica or Nicaragua or something? Got it from the clubhouse, Aaron. If you don't think there's Nicaragua beer in it, I don't know where. Like, I don't get it out here. I don't see president ever. I wonder who imports it. I love that. That's what Eric Dix from the story. God damn, I love you so much, Aaron. And speaking of which, what do you think? Oh, it's the Domenical Stone.

[1:25:00]Oh, is it for me? Yes. I. I bet. My emotions have been up and down on this album. I we put it on today in the car. And I remember a few of the songs because I used to put it on. I remember Golden Hour. I remember Rainbows. I remember I like Space Cowboy a lot. And then we listened today and I thought, I'm not sure this belongs on the list, But I don't know, man. Like, I think it has some clunkers. And I don't think it's the greatest music ever written, But like, I'm not going to sit here and be negative About some very positive, nice sounding tunes. And I will listen to it again. So I'm going to call it Rolling Well-Toned. Russell, what do you think? Rolling Well-Toned, Rolling Bone or Rolling Grown? I enjoyed it. I'm going to go Rolling Grown. I think it's too high on the list. And there's two country albums I'm going to call out instead. I'm going to start with I just find it hard to believe. I can't get over how is Garth Brooks not on this list? Not at all. We've talked about this.

[1:26:00]This goes back to like episode three. We talked about this a long time ago. And maybe people would say, oh, he doesn't, Maybe he doesn't have an album. He's got all these hits. Bullshit. Listen to this album. No fences. He's got on this album, Thunder Rolls, two of a kind working on a full house, Friends in low places, wild horses and unanswered prayers. What are we talking about? Yeah, that has to be on the list. And he, it just seems like he's too big of an artist to not have him on here. So if we're going country, I'm going that one. And I'm also going to say, give me some Shania Twain. Shania Twain was huge in the 90s. And if you go and look at her Grammy Awards, She's got some Grammy wins. She's got, come on over best country album, Song of the Year. You're still the one album of the year. Come on over record of the year. You're still the one like she crushed. So I'm going to say in my mind, this is probably going back to our 90s roots And trying to pull stuff from our era and say it's it's bigger, greater. But I'm saying those two got to be higher on the list than this one,

[1:27:00]Even though I enjoyed it. Fair points. Good point, Matt. What do you think? Rolling Well Tone? Rolling Bone or Rolling Grown? Rolling Grown and I'll, you guys have all made great points. I'll just point out two more, kind of in this genre of great female artists From the late 2010s. We've got Lana Del Rey, which is coming up at 321. Oh, that's a long ways from this one. Norman fucking Rockwell. Wow. Way better album. Way better album. The year away, Aaron, almost exactly. Oh my God. You know, kind of a deal. I love Rainbows. I think the other songs are pretty darn good. This is a great album, just have on in the background. There's a ton of albums like that. And then if we really want like influential female artists that kind of go to the Country, maybe more Americana Brandy Carlisle is not on this list at All and anything she does should be ahead of Casey Musgraves. If you ask me and she's got 11 total wins, Grammys and 28 nominations.

[1:28:00]Her album came out in 2019, so did Lana Del Rey's. So they're a year after Casey Musgraves. So maybe she was there first, kind of a thing. I don't know. Casey Musgraves 2018. So I just think Lana Del Rey and Brandy Carlisle should be on this list Before Casey Musgraves or how about this one? How about two artists that were so damn good? They had the same song, the Conair song. How do I live with it? What's her name, Rob? Wow. I can't believe we did. And what's her name? Yeah. Let's pull up one of their albums to see if it's better. Matt, can you look up if the Conair soundtrack is anywhere on this list? Listen, unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. No, it's not. Sorry, Rob. It's not. I can't believe it. Shit. This gets a rolling representation. OK. Presentation. Yeah, we had to pick an album from the 2018 country. We have to pick from that album. We have to find something in there. Now, is it crazy that we haven't done more from the 90s?

[1:29:00]Of course. OK. But this is an album. And I got to admit, this is what I thought this podcast would be when I started. I thought I would be uncovering fun albums that I had never heard, that I should have. And this would be taking me down this road. And I'd be learning about all these sorts of different music. Instead, it turns out this podcast is mostly us listening to Kanye, Pavement And Pink Floyd. Oh, God. OK. So I, for one, welcome a genre and a timeline that we just haven't heard. It's welcome, Casey. Yes. Thank you. Here's a beef Wellington. Enjoy it. Enjoy this plan of beef Wellington. Yes. And that friend's name, by the way, who ate all those. Oh, I'm actually I'm going to save that for after this. OK. Just get ready because after we end this podcast, I got a joke so good. Oh, my God. I can't wait to tell you this joke and to hear it. This is not good. This joke is Aaron. I'm not just ready to tell the joke. I'm ready to hear it. My ears are pricked up and my tongue is ready to go. Get ready with the turtles next week.

[1:30:00]We have Mary J. Blige. Oh, and that album should be ahead of us. This is straight up. This joke is insanely complicated. This joke is for only geniuses only. OK. OK. If you're not a genius, you're not going to get this joke. We have Mary J. Blige with what she said to me when I asked her to invest In my business plan of having a cheaper gas station With cheaper hot dogs and slushies. He said, what's the 411? When you buy it, you do the joke. The 411, Aaron, would be cheaper than a 711. I get it. No, I can't get it. That's the point. That's my last. The hot dogs there, Aaron. So cheap. Guys, why is he explaining the joke to me When I already laughed at it? This is our second Mary J. Blige album. You probably don't get that joke, Aaron. The slushies are cheaper. I'm using cheaper sugar and cheaper ice. Back did it better. You know what list Garth Brooks did make? What's that?

[1:31:00]The Rolling Stones' Top 500 Biggest Heads. It's time to say. What kind of hat do you think he wears? Oh, seven and seven eighths or eight? He's only eight? I don't know. That's what my wife wore for graduation. You know that guy who, here's the joke, Aaron. We were waiting for the joke. Not the big head Garth Brooks joke. You know that guy's name, who was standing next to Russell, Who ate all that beef Ellington was? Beef Napoleon. Oh, god damn it. That was fun. Beef Napoleon. Well, Rob, you were excited to hear it, so happened. I did get to hear it for Russell.

[1:32:00]I feel like Randy Newman what I mean? I'm writing jokes, other people are saying them. I'm getting all the joy from my own jokes. It's kind of like a joke jack-off, Aaron. You know what I mean? Like the joke is giving me pleasure. I'm getting my own pleasure from the joke. Oh my god. OK, so when I say joke jack-off, Now you know what I'm talking about.
