The Velvet Underground: White Light/ White Heat (1968)

[00:00]Isn't that the movie where he's like hanging out and he's flying all over and he's like hanging out with this lady and then he shows up and it turns out she's got like a whole other life. Yep. Yep. Wow. She's just going to use them. He's like a he's like a clown. A diversion. Yeah. Wow. God, I would love that. But he's the one who knows how to fire people where he's like, you might think this is the worst moment of your life, but it's the best or whatever he says. Can you imagine just getting used by some woman just treated like absolute trash? I think George Clooney should retire. I think actors should retire.

[00:30]I don't know if this is going to be on point with our voicemail, but I think it's time for him to hang it up, man. Wow. I mean, he hasn't been anything good since like Ocean's Twelve, right? I don't even know. But this last thing he did the what was it called? Jay Kelly or something? Yeah. It was embarrassing. He should be embarrassed about that. You're right. People get too famous and they start doing shit they want to do. It's never any good. They're always obsessed with real fucking losers. You know what I mean? And I think he's probably a wonderful guy like by all accounts, but I think it's time to just like he was in

[01:01]the worst movie I've ever seen in the theater. What's that? It was called the American. It was the worst movie I have ever seen in the theater without question. Really? Terrible. I went to a theater once where as a Pierce Brosnan movie where I kept rewinding time of the same terrorist attack and the third time it happened, the whole theater laughed. They laughed so hard because it was so stupid. And I was like, oh, we're having like a bad movie moment. That's the worst movie you've ever seen.

[01:31]How the American Aaron was the worst movie you've seen in the theater where which but that was Pip's fault because he had that thing popped up for like two years and then we went to see it and I it was just the whole thing was like so and this is I mean, this is for this for a niche audience on the podcast, but that was Pip's fault. Pip was telling me right away from freshman year that this was going to be the greatest movie ever. And then when it finally came out like our junior year of college, we went to see it in Lakeville and I thought it was terrible. And maybe now if I went back and

[02:01]you know, did you think it was real Aaron? This is what it was. Really? Our group knew it was not. We'd see it had been out for like a couple weeks where we knew it was not so you had to go when you had to inkling. It was real. Yeah, Matt, what's the worst movie you've seen in the theater? I remember wider being just horrible compared to tombstone wider came out like a year later kind of thing and I wanted to I wanted to walk out because I was like this is this is

[02:31]no this doesn't even compare to tombstone speaking of tombstone the other day someone one of our good friends from I believe a ton of these days formerly of Fairmont brought up tombstone and he said it's the best Western ever. I wanted to share a few of my favorite Westerns might Mount Rushmore and see if you guys can beat these for let's hear it tombstones got to be on there. Yeah, I'm going I'm going the good the bad the ugly. Yeah, the thing is Russell. I'll tell

[03:02]you what you watch that movie. It's it's a lot of Italian directing going on where you have to you have to have you have to have one of those on the list. It's true. It's true. You know what? I'm going to go a lighthearted one. I'm putting city slickers on the best movies. That's a crazy pick, but you know what it was so good like you're telling me you don't want to watch that. Yeah, you're right and I'll tell you what Jack Palance in that movie. Great like the scary real man compared to he is like the Marlboro man. He's like the real deal.

[03:31]You know, I think of that movie all the time because there's a liquor store right across the bridge for me. That's called City slickers and it's S-L-I-Q-U-O-R however you spell. God damn it a spelling joke. Why would I do that? You know what to me Aaron, you know what spelling jokes get as a grade B B wait, that was a joke. I thought that was real spelling B. Well no, there is a store called City slickers, but I tried to do a last one last one on my on my Rushmore. I'm taking

[04:01]unforgiven. I'm putting two movies on my all-time Westerns. Wow. Can you guys top those four? Have you seen have you seen Pale Rider? That's cool. That's a good. I also am a big fan of it. Aaron knows this Aaron used to hang out at my house when I was in this phase. I was in a Western movie phase where I had like a fistful of dollars a few dollars more pale right pale rider, whatever that one was called High Plains drifter. I was into all those for a long thing. Russell. I'm going to take off the Clint Eastwood

[04:30]one. I'm going to throw on young guns. Oh, I love young guns. If you are an 80s kid, you love the movie young guns. Even if you watch it now highly very questionable when they shoot buckshot Roberts in the shitter when he's in the shitter and they go like taking out. That's so good. There's something about a cowboy movie isn't there where you like feel like, oh, yeah, that's smart. You know what? Yeah, shooting somebody in the shitter. That's really since that was one of my favorite movies in college. I tried to watch it. Probably three four months ago.

[05:01]I couldn't even make it through like the first 12 minutes. I had to turn it off on my personal Mount Rushmore. I don't know why I have a soft spot for the 310 to Yuma remake the Russell so good. So now when I got to add that one, so that's yeah, it's on there and you want young guns to on there. You said younger guns. I haven't seen it. I've come on. You know, I haven't seen young guns to they're just little kids in it. Aaron they're so young. It's crazy. It's like the little rascals version of young. Yeah, it's a little not going to do the voice

[05:31]in 2020 for friends. Oh my God, every word greatest 500 albums is decided by rolling magazine. This results in a text chain that celebrate the music excoriated the order and led us to make it this podcast. We are far from experts who promise to almost no research. All opinions are our own unless you disagree. Please sit back and enjoy Beck did it better. We are up to album 272 272. Yeah, 272. It's a it's a it's a palindrome. Okay, so it's just like when I gave that when

[06:00]I gave that that UAV to Sarah Palin. So Palin Palin drone. It's a little different. She could see her house from there. Oh, you guys know what I'm saying? Palin we can't do Sarah Palin. We can't do see the house from there. That's that's like 30 years. We 20 years ago. We can't. That's still pretty recent in my mind. Russell. So explain that okay, pretty soon. You're not going to let me make Swift boat jokes. Oh, okay. I see what's going on. This is an album. I accidentally got my kid to help them sleep.

[06:30]I thought it was a nightlight, but it turns out it's white light white heat by from 1968 by our old friends, the Velvet Underground. Okay. And by the way, I just want to say this right now. If you are listening for the first time and you are a Velvet Underground fan, turn it off. Turn around. Do not come here. We are like the part of the map where they're like, there'll be dragons. Okay, dude, we're going to be dragging our nuts all over this album because I can already tell you we did not enjoy it very much. Sorry. Sorry. It's a way it is. Okay. Listen, I've got

[07:00]three guys here who is wondering when we're finally going to get to talk about all the bands influenced by Velvet Underground. Okay, because three albums, we've done three albums already and it wasn't enough. We've got our fourth Velvet Underground album tonight. I've got Matt Minneapolis. Matt, don't look like that, man. Okay. You look like my wife when I suggest we do things for a date. Okay. My wife, Matt. How are you doing, Matt Minneapolis? Good, Rob. Watch that speed free click. Let's get this fucking thing done.

[07:30]Let's move. One rolling going for person tonight. Let's go. And next up, we've got Russell in Minneapolis. Russell, how are you doing? Rob tonight? My body lies bare, shaved and hairless. What once was screaming now lies silent and almost sleeping. Wow. You guys both sound so much like my wife. Who would be the creepiest one to show up shaved and hairless? I suppose it can't be Aaron. Can you say after Aaron? 100% hairless

[08:00]anyway. I'm almost there. Oh, Aaron, don't say that about yourself. Okay. I bet you got a real big bush. Russell, real quick. Don't even think about it. Who's got the biggest bush on the podcast right now? Normal size bush. Hey, can I finish? Can I finish? That's my normal size bush right there. Russell, you're not going to answer that question. All right. I've got Aaron out in California. Now, Aaron, okay, you can answer. That question related. Russell, you answer that at the end of the podcast.

[08:30]I've got Aaron in California. Aaron was telling me that the CEO of Ikea was just elected the prime minister of Sweden. Isn't that crazy? Business and government intertwining the prime minister of Ikea, prime minister of Sweden. This guy's going to have his cabinet together by the end of the weekend. Oh, that's pretty good. Okay. I got nothing on this album. Let's get rid of my jokes. Okay, let's go. All right. All right. Moving along. Listen. Rob, we tend to call

[09:00]that guy the assembly man. Oh, remember when I was the assembly man for a few weeks years ago? Now, and you wore that tri-cornered hat. You rang the bell. Okay. Hear ye, hear ye. We're at old country buffet. Yes, I love it. Now, we got a voicemail. Yeah, I think this is a good one. Let's just listen to it. I went to see a play at the Orpheum last night.

[09:31]During intermission, I wanted to treat myself and was going to buy some licorice. My companion told me I wasn't allowed to get them and to pick something else. He told me he didn't want me getting the licorice because the people behind him were eating licorice during the show, and the crinkling of the bag was all he could hear. What are your thoughts? Should I have been allowed to get the licorice, or should containers that make sound be banned from the theater? Russell, that guy sounds like a real piece of shit, not letting somebody go get licorice

[10:00]if they want some. Who would stop? Who would say? Who would be in a line and be like, hey, out of all the candy options, let's not get the licorice bag, which is going to be crinkling the whole time. What an asshole. Now, Russell, if you said you can't get licorice because it's the worst fucking thing you could buy at one of these things and it tastes like shit compared to the other candies, then I would agree. I would think that's a great idea. I want the stuff that tastes like the cough drops. Give me the cough drop candy. What are we talking about? Isn't this, I mean, but hold on. Isn't last week, didn't we hear, isn't this like completely

[10:31]counter to what we heard last week? Not necessarily, Matt. Here's a great point. Matt, when you sit in the upper, what's that place called? The upper deck? The balcony? It's so steep, like you talked about earlier, Matt. So when people are opening a package, they're opening it right behind your head. The hot dog guy is selling hot dogs in the aisle. He's saying he's selling a hot dog right by you. If that's the atmosphere, then I'm in, but that's not the atmosphere that

[11:01]we got last night. So last night, for a 25-minute period in the opening session of this play, I listened to someone crinkle a bag and they were probably literally crinkling it eight inches from the back of my ear. It's not a fun experience. Right next to it. So I just made a suggestion and also honestly, like, they've got M&M's, peanut M&M's, they've got others. You cannot get liquor. You cannot get licorice, right? You don't think

[11:31]you can get... What I don't get here is that somebody gave... They told you what they're going to... Oh, my God. What is going on? I'm at the show. There is somebody... Oh, my God. I'm sitting right... Excuse me, sir. What are you eating back there? Excuse me. Oh, that famously bagged food, Whistler's? What the fuck are we talking about? How do Twizzlers make that much noise?

[12:02]So, Russell, here's what I don't get. You're asking... Somebody's asking you what they're going to get at the thing before they go out? I can't speak for whoever texted. Please, sir. Let me get some Twizzlers, sir. I'm just saying if you ever happen to get in line and maybe you're going to go out, maybe someone's going to get a Coke, you're going to get a water, whatever. If someone says, hey, maybe we should get, like, a treat or something like that, if someone that I'm with decides they're going for the licorice, I'm appalled to begin with, but if I just was experiencing

[12:31]someone crinkling a bag in my ear for 20 minutes, I'm trying to save someone else from going through that. Is that fair? So you're out at the snack bar? At the intermission. Next to this person, and so they're talking to somebody who said, oh, I'll have the licorice, and you just said no right in front of them. They're talking to me about what they're going to get, and when they mentioned getting the licorice, I said, oh, that's probably not the way I would go, and here's why. Wow. And Russell, so listen. Who, Rob, Rob, who gets the licorice anyways?

[13:01]Who watches the watch? There's no way, Rob. There's zero chance, Rob. Licorice would be probably not in Rob's top 250, 272 candies. There's no way Rob gets the red licorice. Can I tell you, licorice is huge around this house as a free workout snack, so there's tons of licorice in the house at all times. Red or black? It's, oh, red. I'm not, Aaron. That's not licorice, then. I don't like anise. Don't, Aaron. No. No. You know what?

[13:30]I've let you get along with your shit too long. No. Okay? Don't give me this shit. Okay? Well, is there a process for rolling it? It's not right here. I'll hope for a 49-minute episode. This is so Aaron. Matt, he doesn't think red licorice is licorice. You've got to back me up on this. It's just corn syrup. Like, that's fine if that's what you like, but it's just candy. Like, it's just red candy. This is what I hear the whole time you're talking. Hey, Rob, Rob. Who invited RFK Jr. or whatever his name is. Oh, my God. I'm not opposed. I would eat a red vine.

[14:01]I'm not going to not eat it, but I'm going to eat licorice. People are saying red licorice is licorice, but it's not. Aaron has sat with his jeans in a bathtub before. It's true. It's the only thing me and I have in common. Oh, my God. I just checked the AI overview, and the AI overview says red licorice is generally not real licorice. That's what AI says. It also says you eat whiskey glazed burgers, Aaron. I got to listen. Aaron

[14:30]and Matt, I just want you to picture your life right now. You tell your partner not to get a certain treat when you're out with them. Let me ask you how that goes, okay? First of all, how big are your nuts, to say something like that? Like, we know who has the biggest bush. It's Russell. He's got huge nuts. Some guys run their house. Some guys run around their house. I could not imagine. Matt, we giving advice on what snack that she's getting? She's got the middle school play? Not even close. Nope. No. Russell. So impressive. Dude, the licorice. You've got to be shitting me. We've got to

[15:01]rewind a week, but what is the concession situation at the middle school play? None. There's no concession. That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. Any BYO or no? I'm sure you could. I don't know. No. It's only Aaron. Oh, bring your own snack? Yeah. So I'm sitting there listening to Shrek singing along? Bring your own date? We know Matt did. You're just... You're at this high school, middle school play. You're like, oh, boy.

[15:30]This is somebody. Aaron's bringing his own popcorn. Classic bit. Popping his own popcorn at home. How's it going, Aaron? How's it going with you? Man, it's going great. You know, I have these moments sometimes where I feel nervous because Anna always listens to this podcast, and then I'm always like, am I going to embarrass myself? But then I have moments where I'm really glad that she listens. I don't know how long it's been. It was a few weeks ago. I watched a YouTube video of a chef in Monterey making a sardine sandwich, and he took the time

[16:00]to actually split the sardines open and take the spines out of the sardine first before making the sandwich, and I decided to try that myself. And this is all about how you're proud that your wife is listening to you, right? Yeah, yeah. You're telling us a detailed story about a sardine sandwich. Okay, go ahead. So I was inspired by watching this guy make the sardine sandwich, so I tried it myself at home, and then I told her... All right, no, be quiet. You had a sardine sandwich at home. What the hell is he talking about? Aaron, it is not the Great Depression. What are you doing?

[16:30]Listen, man, my gout is managed. I can eat all the sardines I want. I can eat the purees. I got the L-Pyridol. It's under control. I will eat the sardines. So I was inspired by making the sardine sandwich, so I was making one at home, and then she came home from work, and I, you know, we was doing the how was your day thing, and of course I was really proud of the sandwich I made, so I told her I made a sardine sandwich, and I was telling her, I was telling her, you know, oh, it's got, you know, I took the spines out,

[17:00]and then it had mustard, and it had pickles, and it had, like, a little something green, and she started doing the Beck Did It Better James Brown ingredient list, like, drop of a hat, like, she's I was so proud, man. Yeah. She's a big fan. She just, she said, like, Yes, she started doing it. It was, I mean, man, like, it was, I don't know, I'm feeling good vibes tonight, so that's what I was feeling. Wow. I'm surprised she didn't play this one. You know what I mean? If I was married to you, I'd be saying that to you

[17:30]all the time. Listen, man, she knows, she knows, she knows what goes on when she's not here. She knows if she's gone, we're opening up a tin of fish. She was the only relationship where she comes back from out of town, and she's like, why do your hands smell like fish? And she knows the answer. You know what I mean? She was at a ladies' night tonight, and we opened up a tin of smoked herring. Like, well, it's just what's gonna happen when she's gone. You know what I mean? That's what happens when you stay in that part of Portland, right?

[18:00]You are so close to the ocean. Why are you getting all your fish in tins? You don't have to do that. Are you eating cured salted meats, too? This is not the Oregon Trail. Aaron, how many canned fishes have you had? Like, what's in the last week? Too many. In the last week? Yeah, too many. Just two. Two in a bag. Just two in the last week, actually. Only two in the last week. Oh, my God. Because they you can't just go. Listen. Listen. First of all.

[18:30]Listen. There's the ocean is fished out, man. There's not that much fish from where I live. Yeah. Like, you either have to go further north or further south. So, I'm not getting it from the can instead. Like, you go to the fish shop here, and there's not a lot of fresh fish from the bay. Bro. We get herring sometimes. We get salmon in May. That's it. And halibut a couple times a year. And the halibut here isn't as good as Alaskan halibut. But that's also, you gotta go to the store, buy it, cook it the same day. If you buy tinned fish, it keeps in your cupboard

[19:00]for years. Okay. Matt, tinned fish in your cupboard for years. You got any thoughts on that? You're just donating it, right? Every time they've got the food drives. It just all comes right out. Can you imagine you come home? What's for dinner? Oh, the sardines I got out of a can. Oh, good. Thank goodness. No one else in my house eats them but me. So, they're only for me. How's it going with Matt? That's what I'm curious about. Um, good. Rob, you don't have a list this week. I had this last week, but we had a nice list last week. So, I'm just gonna do

[19:31]a quick list of the on my list for a little bit. The Essential Minnesota Albums from 2025. Wow. I like it. Wow. Minnesota Artists from 2025. So, they've got about 12 albums on here. I've got three or four of them, which I'll ask you. There you go. Yep. I'll ask you. That's the one. I'll ask you to pull up just a couple songs. Um, the first one, it involves Trampled by Turtles. So, of course, it deserves everything,

[20:01]but it's Alan Sparhawk with Trampled by Turtles. They've got a song called Get Still. Get Still. While you're pulling that up, I'll just bring up a couple other ones that they've got on here. They've got something called um, Gone for Good by The Last Revel. Can't say that I've heard them. Uh, Gully Boys by Gully Boys. Gully Boys. We'll just listen to it. Here's Alan Sparhawk, Get Still. Yep. A couple of Duluth artists, but he I think they used to have a little bit of a beef,

[20:31]but, uh, they've come together now recently to write some songs together. Trampled by Turtles? Got back together, you're saying? No, Alan Sparhawk and Trampled by Turtles. Yeah. People love Trampled by Turtles fans love Trampled by Turtles. Like, it is a band where people will like, like, getting me to go to the Minnesota Zoo at like 830 p.m. Not gonna happen. These people love to go to the Minnesota Zoo to see Trampled by Turtles. And is this a typical

[21:00]sound for them? Do they usually do the vocoder thing? I think this is being played at 33 speed instead of 45 speed, Aaron. My YouTube record player is not working very well. I saw Alan Sparhawk once at the Uptown with the Black Eyed Snakes, but I've never seen Trampled by Turtles. Or Low. I've seen Trampled by Turtles a couple times. They're phenomenal. Love them. Um, next one. We've got a song, uh, by Corbin on the Crisis Kid album called Cry Out in Pain.

[21:31]Corbin. Cry Out in Pain. For Aaron specifically. Oh, wow. Thank you. Ooh. Okay. I'm enjoying this so far. Corbin. C-O-R-B-I-N. I like this, man. Yeah, these are all Minnesota artists. Minnesota artists. And I'm not... There's about a third of the list I've heard of some of these... some of these groups. So, next one. You can let this keep playing, Rob. The Motion City Soundtrack.

[22:00]They're a pretty well-known vocal group. They've got an album called The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World. That was on the list. Um, they've got Sleeping Jesus. Haven't heard of them. Got an album called Shotgun. Um, Samia. Samia. Bloodless. There's a song called Bovine Excursion. Uh, if you could pull that one up, Rob. Bovine Excursion. Sounds like a couple of double dates. No, that's not Excursion. How do you pronounce that? Excision.

[22:30]Excision. Bovine Excision. Sorry. Oh, just cutting off the cows. Yeah. Samia, pretty... pretty good, uh... current artist. I'm gonna tell you right now, a song about Dr. Pepper in the Bath. I could not be more on board with this song. Guys, my bath rate... I took two baths yesterday. Okay? Two baths, and I was only home for, like, four hours. Love it. I'm on an all-time bath rip right now. Are you still taking a bath every morning?

[23:00]Rob? Yes. Are you taking a bath every morning? Yes, because what I do now is I bring the dog in. I take off my underwear that I'm now wearing at night because I'm a gentleman. The dog goes crazy for him. He sits there with his face deep in my underwear and takes a nap the happiest he's ever been. It's like me my sophomore year of college when I got a girlfriend, you know? Oh, just thrilled. But yes, I would say a bath almost every morning. I love it. In my own filth. Night Moves, another pretty well-known

[23:32]local group. It's got an album called Double Life. Motion City Town Track. I got your silver bullet band right here. And then one that I... Well, we'll go with Your Smith. Your Smith called The Rub. I've never heard of that one, but the one that I want you to play, Rob. It's Your Smith. It's Underviolet. It's Underviolet. It's an album called Orchard. And there's a song called Sunflower. And this is a

[24:00]shoegaze band. By who? Underviolet. Underviolet. Sunflower. Little shoegaze. Is this it? You're the bride. I gotta say, Matt, this is my wheelhouse. Go a little further in. Ooh, Hailey Bonner-esque, right? Yeah.

[24:31]There's some banjo. Ooh, I love that. This is not shoegaze. I might have my information incorrect. This is nice, though. This is nice. I'm gonna put this in my library. I gotta figure out my shoegaze. There's a pretty... There's three or four shoegaze bands that are playing on rotation on the current. Now we got some harmony stuff? Yeah. Fuck yeah. So I'm gonna have to figure that out. But I just saw a quick list by

[25:01]Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine of the Essential Albums 2025. Love it. Appreciate it. Thanks, Matt. Love it. Russell, rolling going. How's it going with you? Rolling going. Things are going good. As you guys know, I went to the show last week and before we went to a restaurant. And this is a restaurant. Why'd you let her get at the restaurant? Well, actually, I did talk us out of something at this restaurant, too. So I'm starting to see that as a trend in my bad behaviors. So here's the thing about this restaurant.

[25:30]They have a pork chop at this restaurant that is fantastic. We get it almost every time we go to this restaurant. J.D. Hoyt's? It's not. It's the Butchertail. Okay. This pork chop double cut pork chop with candy dams, pecans, maple syrup, gas streak. My God. But they always change up. What they sometimes got like a blueberry thing. So they've always got a different. I don't know if you want to call that a compote. They've got a different sauce to it, Aaron. But this

[26:01]is a this is like a huge pork chop. It's it's huge. It's one of these pork chops that comes out. You're like it's a monster. But I would never ever order a pork chop somewhere else. So my question is do you guys have restaurants where it's like I'll get this there, but I would never choose to order it somewhere else. Is that you guys ever have that? I we went to we went to lowbrow tonight. We talked about lowbrow a few times and I think the fish sticks

[26:31]and the lowbrow you know, that's I don't know if I would anywhere else. They've got fish sticks at lowbrow. You and Aaron. I see a future for you two. Okay, dude. These two would they couldn't last two dates. If they went on the first date, it would be great. The second date when Aaron ordered his food, Matt would be like, I'm out of here. Matt. You call that would have to call one of us to go pick him up. There's no way he would be. I've had I've had 20 years on in

[27:01]in five days five days from today. I will have wow. My wife and I will have been dating for 20 years first date 20 years ago. I've been dealing with this for 20 years Russell of just the exotic the only thing I've gone to an Indian restaurant maybe one and a half times now because I cannot do because Sarah said we got to go try it kind of a thing. So she is an adventurous writer Aaron invites Matt over for like, hey, let's come hang out at my place tonight. Aaron's like

[27:31]you want to you want to glass of tequila Matt's like sure Aaron walks out with a bottle with no label on it. He pours that tequila. Oh and then here's a here's a little piece. This is the best part of the tongue that you can possibly have and I'm going to back it up with a little thing of stomach and then don't worry. Don't worry. I'm going to open up our finest tin of fish. Okay. Do you like fish but you love oil all over it. Is this the right place for you? Hey, but I got to say Russell. They're both with vegetarians, right?

[28:00]Yeah, like you you guys it might be kind of like I think it licorice just made with made with animal products. We just go out and each order our own thing and be no fun, right? You know, like guys are in like sexless marriages and all of a sudden they just start banging each other. That would be these guys but with meat. Oh, you know what I mean? Like they've had they've been so not meet at the house that now they're going to meet out when they're with each other. Do we? Do we talk? Did I talk about this that it was Sarah and I were out? I think we talked about it was it and you know, again, bring it up short very quickly that

[28:31]we I had this thing where I'd like, oh, dang, we'll never going to be able to be those old people that just go out and split a split a meal. You know, we'll be able to say like, hey, let's have a beer and split a burger. You got to put it in your retirement planning. You got to tell you for two meals every time you go out. My wife and I are a meal splitter. It's not consensual. It is almost never a consensual meal splitter. And she will ask me in the beginning, do you want to split a meal? And I'll say yes. But guess what, Aaron? You don't. I don't. I don't want to split a meal. I want

[29:01]her to get something else and we can like split it. I went to the Italian restaurant. I went to and then get mine too. Yeah. We ordered two meals and split them both. Okay. What the fuck? I like that. I like that. That is our standard practices. No, no, no, no, no, no. You order two meals and then share it. What she said was, I want to order two meals and split them both. So now we're sitting there with like four plates. Now they have like all the plate. It's like

[29:31]a, that's the thing is that she told him ahead of time, we're going to split it both. So you can see the waiter kind of be like, oh, so they split each meal and then brought you four plates. No, no, no. Yeah. No two plates. Yeah. They just had, we had four plates split everything all at once. That's what I mean. Russell. She's like, she's pretty reasonable to me. She split crazy. I don't mind splitting the meal, but we don't have to tell him. I will say the most delightful splitting experience we had. It's been about six months down. No, this one was nice. This one was super nice. We were out for, we were

[30:01]out for cocktails and we had each already had a cocktail and then we were looking at the list like, Whoa, should we have another cocktail or not? Because of course we had to pick our kid up from Pokemon club after that. And we were both like, Ooh, that daiquiri looks good. And the bartender overheard us and he was like, uh, I can split that into two daiquiris for you and give you a beautiful little, any, it's like, it was just that he had like two, like tiny daiquiri glasses that he really wanted to use. And he was like, yeah, he's like, I can totally make you guys just like the cutest little daiquiri you've ever had. That was

[30:30]beautiful. That was a really nice move. The worst split experience I ever had, Aaron. Oh boy. When I went to gymnastics class. Oh, gymnastics. God, I thought I had it. Gymnastics class. First of all, sick. I bet I could do close to a split if I tried. Okay. Nevermind. I can't even say that with a straight face. Probably not. So Rob, you ever going into a restaurant? Are you ever ordering a pork chop? No. Unless it's no, never. I would order if it's on the board, right? Or like, or like, you know, like J.D. Hoyts

[31:02]is known as having a pork chop. Like I would definitely do that if it was known as a pork chop. Speaking of J.D. Hoyts, Matt, this soul was soul crushing to me the other day. I love J.D. Hoyts. It's, it's, it's right by the strip club, Rob. Wow. If you could please do the directions. First of all, why do you think I know where that is? Where do you need to talk? You act like I'm a strip club guy. Dude, if someone goes to St. Paul for a strip club, you've got something wrong with it. Wait, isn't there a restaurant called the strip

[31:30]club? Oh my gosh. Oh, Aaron, reverse it on your asses. I was about to laugh at Aaron, but now guess what? I'm laughing at you guys. Yeah, Aaron, these guys can eat shit. It's probably closed. I think that's called the turf club. Oh, the strip club. God, if there's a restaurant called the strip club, can you imagine how disappointed people are when they come in? Google it, Rob. Google strip club St. Paul. Google this. I'm going to do the video. I'm going to do it on Bing. Strip club St. Paul. It's closed. King of diamonds. You know what? We're going to go to Yelp. We're going to look at some reviews for strip

[32:00]clubs in St. Paul. So long, strip club, and thanks for all the fish. Oh, it closed in 2017. This is right next to the restaurant we're talking about. Yeah, it was a J.D. Franski spot. Yeah. It was a landmark restaurant. Inarguably one of the most important Minnesota restaurants of the last decade, according to Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine. Aaron, can I get to my motherfucking deja vu review on Yelp, please? Please. Now, bad news, Aaron. It's averaging 2.2 stars. Okay. It's crazy. Out of five.

[32:30]That's not good for a strip club. 49 reviews. That's going to be a lot of zero stars. Oh, one star. That's the worst star rating. Like, if you look at the... This guy's from California here. Sumi from California. The idea of leaving a Yelp review with your picture next to it of a strip club. So Sumi here is so fucking... Baller. Sumi went to this strip club December 3rd. Yeah. It's cold as shit in Minnesota, and you're still not having fun at a strip club? Let's see. Was a great

[33:00]club for many years. Oh, my God. What a first fucking line of a strip club review. Was a great club for many years. This guy is not only coming from California, he's coming a lot. And guess what? He's always going to the deja vu. But I ultimately left due to manager Mike's rudeness and the rudeness of some of the dancers. Granted, after I gave them so many years as a high-paying and super loyal customer. Okay, Sumi, you're a creep. I've identified you as a 100% strip club creepy guy. I'm much happier now at Rick's Cabaret

[33:30]in 303rd Street. No. No. Sumi is doing a baller strip club switch. You know that when Sumi came over to, he's like, I was a deja vu guy. I want to be a Rick's Cabaret guy. The only thing more rude than the service of those dancers was when Aaron got his free returns canceled at REI. Oh, wow. That's about it. That was tough. The best thing about this place is the free hot dogs they give you. It's really a hot dog bar. That is true. I do

[34:00]remember the deja vu, and this seems like it's a crazy story, and it's not. It was a strip club where you could get free hot dogs. Russell, this is what your idea is like. You want to make... Read the rest of that review. Strippers are mid and can't dance to save their life. Don't waste your time. One of the dancers asked me... Can you imagine me being like, God, they can't dance? What does that even mean? Wow, you know what? Chris D. from Perlin, Texas left that review. This has a lot of one-star reviews. We have a voicemail

[34:31]from a guy from Perlin, Texas. No. Oh, 100% we do. We have a listener that lives in Perlin, Texas. Do you know Chris D.? Okay, and ask him about the free hot dogs. He's a big fan. One of the dancers asked me if I had any money. I told her, no. I don't. God, you can't say that. You can't say that. Then she told me to stop looking at her. Oh, what a bummer. Oh, Russell, you're at a strip club. The stripper says, stop looking at me. How soul-crushing is that? How big of a blizzard are you getting on the way home? Large, right? That's a

[35:01]large blizzard night. Rob, you don't even want to know what I'm doing to myself after getting shot down in a strip club like that. Yeah, some stripper goes, don't look at me, you sick piece of shit. Russell's like, oh my God. Rob, you know what would be amazing? As if there was like a alternate world where it was the strippers giving the reviews of the patrons. And they're like one-star review for the man in the mesh shorts in the Baywatch tank top. I was going to make a mesh

[35:31]shorts joke, Russell, but I was thinking about it because it's so gross, but you did it. You came right over the top. Does Deja Vu appear on IWasPoisoned.com at all? Oh, okay. I don't have time for that. That's going to be for the next episode. I got poisoned by a hot dog. Who knows where it was been? This hot dog gave me warts all over my crotch. I told my wife it was from the free hot dog. Are you burning itchy too? Yeah, this is a hot dog I had. I think it was bad. Is that the strip club where I had sex with that person?

[36:03]When you tell the upstairs roommate that your opening line had to do with something about an itch from the Peloton bike from Vegas, it doesn't go over as well as it does on the podcast. Can I just tell you, Russell, there's a lot of jokes on this podcast. I ended up explaining to Suzanne and her wife, uh, why, uh, Valentine's Day 69 guy on top is funny. That joke goes over like a lead balloon with lesbians. I can tell you that right now. You have to, like, get out

[36:31]like a whiteboard. You know what I mean? I'd be like, have you ever made waffles at a hotel? Okay, that's the first, like, do you want to know? If I picture a Ziploc bag of warm water and you put it on your eyes, that's step one. No. Gallon-sized bag, Russell. It's a gallon-sized bag. Rob, roll it going. I was going with you. Moving on. We walked to the hotel. Aaron's going to take a breath. Take a breath. Breathe, Aaron. Breathe.

[37:00]Okay. I like this one by John. Three stars. I like that place. That is a long review. That is like a book. Look how long that review is. Yeah. He's talking about the salad. It's got pictures of the parking lot. He's talking about the parking at the strip club. Please. We got candy news. Okay. You know what? There's nothing worse than what's that? You're about to go to the strip club and you got a fucking parallel park your car. Like, that's the worst.

[37:31]And guess what? It's a left-handed parallel park. It's a one-way. You're parallel parking to the left and all the strippers, it's a fire alarm. All the strippers are outside watching a parallel park. You don't have the app either. You got to go, like, put the quarters in the meter because you don't have, like, the Minneapolis app. You're looking. Wait around to see, like, what, which parking space 55. Don't forget that. All right. It's only good for an hour of parking.

[38:00]This ain't gonna work. How long are your lap dances? Let's see. Okay. Wait a minute. I got to do something on my phone. Folks, we got candy news. Okay. The grandson of the inventor of the Reese's peanut butter cup. Okay. Now, first of all, if you told me who's one of the fat guys, on the motorcycle, I would believe you. The grandson of the Reese's guy is he is coming out and accusing Hershey chocolate of something

[38:30]that the real adult candy heads have known for years. What's that? Hershey's has changed the recipe of the peanut butter cup. They did. Oh, they have cheapened it. Okay. They're smaller. They're dry. They don't like if you wait too long, they taste terrible. No, he is claiming the heart shaped candies are made instead of with peanut butter. It is now peanut butter cream. Is that the stuff you got to mix before you put it in there?

[39:00]Yeah, I got a couple of those in the easy on mixing this like a big pot like a cauldron. Yeah, yeah, it is. It is by the way. It is by the way that peanut butter cups not only are they somehow they're both too small and too big. Yeah, big ones are too big. The small ones are too small now and they're chalky. And guess what? The chocolate is no longer milk chocolate. They cannot list it as milk chocolate because milk chocolate has to have at least 10% chocolate in it. Fair

[39:30]life milk, not even 10 protein milk. Their chocolate it says chocolate candy instead of milk chocolate. So when you check Hershey's products now, they are selling you chocolate candy because they cannot legally say it's milk chocolate. And this isn't with the fucking European standards, whereas real shit and you have to have real chocolate. You go over and have a Cadbury egg in London. It'll blow your fucking mind. And that's what the adult candy heads are all about. Okay. I see you sick fuckers out there. I post a new kind of M&M's recently, by the way, lemon Aaron lemon meringue pie is a new flavor of M&M.

[40:01]What do you think the amount of attractive women that came out in my DMS to talk to me about different M&M flavors was unbelievable. I highly recommend if you are trying to pull tail be an adult candy guy. It helps a ton. Okay. Also, how do you know these are real people? Well, because I listen, this person who I'll send you a picture of what this person looks like. She's attractive and she wants to get in a huge fight with my wife. No double

[40:31]attractive. Holy cow. Now second piece of candy news. Cadbury egg season is once upon us. Oh, it's here upon us. Once again, it's here. I got my first candy egg. Aaron put it in my breast pocket. You know, in the rest of your pocket, forgot about it. First candy egg of the year totally melted, had to eat some foil along with the egg. It was one of the worst egg experiences I've ever had. I didn't want to talk

[41:00]about it anymore. We got to talk about the album. So Rob, you're talking like Reese's. So this is like you get like the two cup, like the regular thing. No. Guess what, Russell? You can't buy that anymore. It's only king sizes. You know my thoughts on this subject. No, I don't buy Reese's peanut butter cups anymore. They're not good. If you didn't, you bought the two pack. Well, the four pack. That's what I buy. Better. Okay. Either is the one cup going in in one shove or are you biting it and eating it in two bites?

[41:30]Tell you what, Russell, first cup first cup. Okay. You have a strategy for all four. Just like Bob Marley. I'm going Bob Marley style at it. One shove. What? It's going right down the hatch. Second Reese's cup getting bitten in half. You got to bite it in half. Bitten in half. Classic third cup. Russell. Yeah, it's going to blow your fucking mind. This is what the real candy heads do. I'm putting the tongue through poking out the circle poking the hole of peanut butter cup. Okay. Fourth

[42:00]one back to Bob Marley style one. One shove. Yep. Got to finish it before I get to my apartment building so I can throw it in the trash outside the building. So my wife doesn't know I bought it. All right. And that's a normal thing for a 45 year old man to say. Okay. Robert, you afraid she's going to hear this on the podcast? Absolutely not. Okay. If I heard her listening to this podcast, I would stab her because I knew she's an alien that has taken over my wife's form. You're giving me a hard time about shutting down the licorice. Like, is your

[42:31]like, what's the like, what's the candy your wife would get where you would say no. No, Russell Russell. I would never say no. What do you mean? Like does she? She buys all the candy. I hate she's a big fan of black licorice. Oh, no. One true licorice as Aaron says and some sort of weird weird thing. Okay. Yeah. No, she loves to get Russell. This is the mother of my children. I'm talking about

[43:01]she loves anise. She cannot get enough anise when she needs us when she needs a quick little pick me up some anise is perfect for her velvet underground and Nico. Okay. That's from 1967. That was the one with the banana on it. Okay. Produced by Andy Warhol. What number is that on the list? Like 12 15. Yeah, that's way up there. Oh my God. It's been so long. Okay. We've done a few of these though. Oh, this is the fourth album.

[43:31]I was blown away. I was like, have we done one or two velvet underground albums? And then I found out we had done three already. It's the same with Pink Floyd. I mean, right. We're really all velvet underground or is there? I'm not even calling the two Lou Reed. We've done two Lou Reed and three velvet underground. We did reloaded. We did velvet underground and we did velvet underground with Nico. Those are two separate fucking albums. We have done a couple of pink Floyd that pink Floyd album. We listened to a few weeks ago. Whoops. The llamas ass compared to this album. This

[44:01]is an atrocity. We just got to call it out. This can't be this high. This is crazy. Well, here's the thing. They released that velvet underground and Nico in 1967. This is a year later. They fire Andy Warhol as their producer fire and they're like, you know what? He's been telling us to do. Is like do songs and not just do a bunch of noise. We want to make our album sound like our live show. So they say we're going to make an album that sounds like our live show. That's what people like.

[44:30]And so they come out and they make this album. Okay. After this one, they make velvet underground, which is which we've listened to. It has a sweet Jane on it. I think that's or is that reloaded but it like sounds good. This is the one where basically they went too crazy and they're like, well, that shit was fucked. We cannot be doing that shit on any more of our albums. That's this album right here. They take this album takes two weeks to record. It almost was recorded in one day. And one of the issues was they had a equipment deal with Vox.

[45:00]So they had all new amplifiers so they could turn that shit up as loud as they possibly wanted because there was no repercussions for breaking it. There was no nothing. They end up making this album very quickly. The guy who produced it compressed the shit out of it. This album sounds like absolute shit. If you really listen to it and you listen to how like tinny it sounds every member of the band hates the way this album sounds too compressed to distorted now

[45:30]what is it doing in the list? Like what why Aaron this album does talking to you guys. No question that the themes of this album are kind of universal. We're talking about amphetamine ecstasy. We're talking about grotesque medical horror. We're talking about oral sex. It's kind of like the it's a big tent. You know what I mean? Everybody can get behind that. Yeah, it's a real only single from this album. The only single from this album fails to chart and the band says, oh, that's because the record company didn't promote it enough.

[46:00]So let's get into this is white light white heat and Aaron. Guess what? Just like so many dates. That's what we're going to start with dessert. Yeah, tinned fish. We're going to take out the tinned fish. We're going to start with the titular track Aaron. Oh, yeah, this is a white light white heat. It's a celebration of how you feel in amphetamines. This is just it's out of this

[46:32]because it's a rolling stone. We love drugs space. This is like the the only way you could love this is being high as hell. So we're going to put it on the list. It's crazy. Can I tell you there's some covers of the song that I actually think are pretty good. There's actually some live versions by them. I think are pretty good. But this is one of the most musical songs on the whole album. By the way, this album is six songs long. Okay, last song is 17 minutes

[47:00]of it. I like the backwards looking, you know, 50s rock kind of jangly piano thing going on in a way great balls of fire but from Mars. We love it. This is like walking out of the strip club after the stripper says don't look at me anymore and you're like well, at least I save some money. You know what I mean? Like this is a good day. I'm actually having a great day. I got a bunch of money turns out actually five dollars for this hot dog. It's just like wait, are you leaving a Yelp preview and you're like, yes, I am. How many stars are you

[47:30]giving me? I asked an Uber driver when he gives stars to the drivers. I got to I had to buy Ubers for work. And so I was going into Uber with all my co-workers. So we're all showing each other our Uber scores. So then when I got in the Uber, I go, what do you grade people? Is that like after they tip or what? He spoke no English. So the conversation fizzled almost immediately. Yeah, not fun in front of work co-workers by the way to have that interaction. But then at the end he showed me that he was giving me five stars. So I showed him I gave him five stars and I changed it when I got out. Drove too slow. The gift

[48:00]now up to a up to a 493 by this. I can't see the second digit. I can only see the one after the Russell's just saying that can I tell you what Russell we've done this bit on the podcast a couple times. I can't find this is them reading a creative story by Lou Reed in one ear and then it's an album. It's a song on one chord playing in the other. I hate this.

[48:30]No, you know what this reminds me of though Aaron when kids want you to read their creative stories reminds me of when my kid would get in the car anytime we get in the car. He says dad can play some music. So I put on some music and lately it's either Bad Bunny or Green Day. So we're listening to DTMF or Green Day Insomniac and then immediately he's like hey dad and then he's reading to me from whatever he's reading and so there's music going on and then he's reading to me from Big Nate or whatever. This is what this sounds song sounds like to me.

[49:01]Meanwhile, you're driving a you know three ton vehicle miles an hour down the road like it's yeah trying to find the fucking entrance to headway school, which is harder to find than you would think or easier if you just when you get older and you find out having the light in the backseat on is not illegal at night. You find out that that's not a law. That's funny. There's a time where you say my parents fucking lied to me and then I'll tell you what you have kids and they start wanting to turn the light on the back and guess what

[49:31]you tell them dangerous fucking illegal. I can't turn on the light at night. I will get arrested. I still funny. We have no like we I'm always like yeah, fine. Let him read and then it's like no turn it off. Your dad's trying to drive. You gotta say it's illegal because respect the law. This next song is about a botched surgical operation on so they don't grow up and respect the law. Turns out you start making tariffs that had no legal basis to be here. So maybe you should respect the law and then we wouldn't be in this mess Rob if I were going to make an album I hope he listens to the show. It would definitely

[50:01]be focused on botched surgical operations. Well, it is I mean what's going on here Russell? It's a drug album. What are we doing? It's a drug album. Let's fast forward. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where you're on the song. The same thing here. She comes now. This is the most another kind of musical one, but it was written before their

[50:31]first album. So it's kind of a pre Aaron. They couldn't even make enough songs for six songs. No prize for the reprise. I mean this what do we say guys? Well, I mean this first album. This is a pleasant sound right now what we're listening to like any snippet is like, oh, well, it's kind of like unique or interesting but listening to all of them back-to-back as an album. No, no. Did any of us listen to this whole album? I made it through

[51:01]nice work. You did Russell. Oh, good for you. That's the thing Aaron. I there's some Lou Reed songs. I would classify as some of my favorite songs on the list. Literally. Yeah. Yeah, the one his first solo album on here was like way more pleasurable than I expected. I have the songs I play while we're all logging on. I've got two Velvet Underground songs. Yeah, they've got some good fucking songs, right? Not on this album. No, I

[51:31]heard her call my name, but it is true. If you go on the Reddit guess what every Velvet Underground's fan favorite album is this one this one this one is this what our podcast sounds to people? Didn't go to St. Olaf. You think this is what it sounds like? Yes. It's the equivalent. It's like I don't know anything about the different ramps in the Mall of America. Hey, listen, if you don't know whether or not Arizona is a ramp in the Mall of America,

[52:00]you shouldn't be listening to this show. Okay, if you don't have if you don't have a place where you like to park a floor of that if you don't have a strong feeling about what the best way to get to the parking of the mall. I like to park in the Sunbelt region of the parking ramp Sunbelt. Sunbelt States. I'm going up to the roof. I'm going all the way outside. Oh, no, that's too high. No cars up there. Lots of parking get feel some space up there. What's your parking style at the your Sunbelt guy at the Mall of America? Gotta be the

[52:30]Sunbelt. Wow, Matt. What's your style? You probably don't care. You don't have opinions on this. Usually two or three when you're not going up too high can't go to stay low because depending on it used to be when you had a kid you'd be on the first floor. So you want to be as close to the first floor as possible. You don't want to be going up to two or three. My advice. Of course Mall America don't go into the bathrooms. I got pulled over down there once on my way to Ikea and it turned out that I had an unpaid parking ticket and the cop would not let me drive back home. So I

[53:00]was at the Mall of America. Unfortunately he didn't arrest me, but he made me he told me I couldn't drive anymore because I had an unpaid I had an unpaid ticket. And so he made me leave my truck at the Mall of America parking lot and I took the light rail back to Minneapolis and then eventually had to go to traffic court to get my license back Aaron. You're telling me you did like walk around the like just walk around the mall for eight minutes and then get back in that car drive that shit out of there. I didn't I should have done that right? What what are you talking? What what could you what could the ticket have

[53:30]possibly been in? Did you park? And I was like, well, can I just drive to the DMV and he said no. And so I walked to the DMV, but you're right. I probably could have just got back in the car trip. This is what you're fucking talking about Aaron. The system is fucked Yeah, what was your parking ticket for? Did you park inside of a priest? No, it was it was a it was an illegal left turn on red on or not not sorry not illegal left turn on red. It was an illegal left turn on Lake Street

[54:00]between 7 and 9 a.m. I had gotten a ticket for yeah bullshit. I I've told you before I did not have good times with the Minneapolis police which has turned out to be, you know, a fine upstanding. Yeah, no, no problems. Okay. So this next song I hope you guys have carved out 17 minutes of your day because we're going to listen to the whole fucking thing. This is Sister Ray Sweet Sister Ray. Now before they would play this song live, they would do this song Russell for 20 to 40 minutes straight during a live show 20 to 40 minutes.

[54:32]You think these guys are on amphetamines? Maybe it's possible. These guys are on speed. By the way, a drug I've never had. I've had less than zero interest in taking speed. Matt, you play baseball. We take the amphetamines. What do you think? No. Well, we call that me right is Rob greenies. Yeah, I just I have no interest in anything that would make me want to do more stuff. I mean, it sounds like work and a coworker who's a meth addict and he was like, yeah, it's not fun. It's not like I don't enjoy

[55:01]it. Like you get high and like clean your house or whatever. Yeah. Now Russell and I are thinking about pulling the Bill Gates, you know, where we just like, oh, how do we how do we put this into our wife's stuff? That's by the way, I don't want to talk about the five of my favorites. My favorite story is that Bill Gates contracted STD. And so he had to surreptitiously add medicine to his wife's like coffee because he gave her the STD. Look it up.

[55:31]One of my favorite stories. He's like, I got an STD. It was like a real life Peloton story. Yeah. And it's also he's denying everything. And his wife goes on a podcast goes, yeah, you know, he's gonna he's got some stuff. He's got a tone for like this blown up over this. Wow. Okay. That's why my wife will never listen to this podcast. Okay. She'll never know about the Peloton story. Let's go halfway through Russell. Hey, this part's kind of fun. Russell, we need a we need a palette.

[56:03]If we have to do a 69 minute episode, we still have nine minutes to listen. Are we doing sublime? Is that the one, Matt? I can't remember sublime. Give me three songs from sublime. No, we've already figured it out. We, of course, are going to do the famous album bringing down the horse. Forget we're pulling. We're pulling the parachute cord already on this one. That's it. That was a song. That was a song. But I'm bringing down the horse like this is

[56:30]a this is this is this is an OG 501. Yeah, this is we've been talking about this. This is the real 501. In case you were not born between the years 1978 and 1980, you probably don't know that we are talking about 81. You would know, of course, that we were talking about the wallflowers and their album that was you could not escape it. You absolutely could not escape it. It is bringing down the horse, which, of course, is a 19. What? Oh, 1996. Oh,

[57:00]okay. And let's go, Matt. What songs do I know? We're going to finish with one headlight. One headlight. Of course, seven heartache, three Marlene Marlene is I don't know. Do I know three Marlene is because Matt was telling me I know four songs off this album. I'm not sure. Marlene is one two three Marlene is maybe a Chevrolet dress. She hadn't even paid

[57:30]rate. Is it surprising this guy didn't get bigger? It doesn't matter where the money went. I mean, look at the first couple songs on this album. Oh, yeah. We're going in reverse. What are the other ones that were on the beginning? Oh, yeah. One headlight. What was it? Yes, you're right. I know. I fucking know this song a hundred percent. Right. What world are we living in where this is not a better album than this? You're right. It's crazy. You're right. Let's see what else we got

[58:01]on this album. We've also got what else did you say? Three Marlene is what's the other one? I know that, but I want to do four. Let's see. Matt says I know the difference. Oh, let's just listen. This song is so fucking good. They were the good ones here. My eyes screams out loud. This song. Jesus fucking good. What are people doing against my back?

[58:30]I held my hands. I mean his voice. Yes. And then also listen to this snare on here. That snare will break your fucking neck. In a good way. I mean, this song is Russell. Are we adding this to a playlist? I might be this. This is crazy that the album we listened to five minutes ago is even in the same world as this one, let alone

[59:01]above it. And of course, let's let it go. Oh, sorry. What if they just made the 500 albums that are the nicest to listen to? Could we just like, let's just get to that. Now, let's stop making the greatest. Let's just do the 500 albums that are the most enjoyed. Play this whole thing. You want to do a podcast here and I got a great I mean, can I tell you what this song I had a buddy in high school named Dan grabbed all who was a good friend of mine and he moved away

[59:30]when I found out he was moving away. I heard this song on the radio. How much of it did he grab? This is the first ever earnest story I've told on the podcast ever. And I was interrupted. Okay. He grabbed it all. He grabbed both inches of it, though. He grabbed it all. He grabbed them both. And I heard this song on the radio after I found out he was leaving and it's I associate with him so strongly. I mean, this was a love of time. This is epic.

[60:01]It's crazy. I think everybody has a memory associated with this song in my mind. She just like takes you back to a place you're in your you know what, where you are right now. You're in a carpeted basement with wood trim. You're sitting on a blue couch. Maybe you've watched a UFC one on VHS tape. The guy with the glove shows up, thinks he's going to do something really good speed. I mean, this is my

[60:30]high school career right here. You go in the basement Russell. Guess what? Got to be home by midnight. But guess what? It was just daylight savings time. So you know what you get to do for a couple weeks. Tell your parents they didn't set the clocks in the basements and you could be an hour late and lie about it and you never get caught. Even both ways. You don't figure out which way is the correct way. Spring forward, fall back. You guys are playing first half, Russell. June 13th. There's a

[61:00]95% chance I'm there. The Wallflowers are playing first half. Right. Wow. Should this be a Beck did it better live get together? They have to play a Dylan song, right? What do they play? Maybe he doesn't. I don't know if they've got the greatest relationship. I'm not sure. I'm guessing no. Look up a set list real quick, man. What's a Wallflower set list? I bet that would be kind of fun. The problem is you get about

[61:31]how long is this concert where you don't a couple songs. You're going to get a beer or something, right? Well, they're going to play covers for sure, right? Yeah. Yeah. Played. Looks like they played on February 20th. Yeah. In Pennsylvania. Roxanne theater. This show started 905. They got off at 1055. Oh, nice. It's a nice long show. 19 songs. The difference was the last. They

[62:00]ended with a difference to play the difference. Oh, which is a pretty good difference. That's a fucking banger. God dang it. This is a good one. Played a couple Tom Petty covers. OK. See, that sounds like a concert I want to go to, man. This is a good end. This is a good end. This is so good. And you know what? All good things must come to an end. Even a good episode. Got the kids.

[62:30]Oh, the only difference. Wow. That is so, so good. But you know what? We've got to get into the rating system. It's a big mystery. And now it's time for everybody's favorite. We don't know how we're going to rate this album. We hold our cards close to the vest. OK. Rating system. Because, of course, we play cards in between our stripping where we're wearing vests because we're all Chippendales and leaving Yelp reviews on strip clubs

[63:02]with our photos. I like this one, by the way. Do not work here. Go anywhere else. OK to come if you're 18 to 21. But beyond that, I don't recommend it. OK. Too bad they have some good girls to poor management systems in place this management. There sounds like there's some management issues in there. Russell, you could go in George Clooney style. Fix up it up. Yeah. Clean it up. I'm here to manage this place better. What are we

[63:30]talking about? Listen to this guy, Sean P. I gotta say Sean P is an optimist. Two stars, Russell, for this review to paid full price to get in got a $20 lap dance and got touched twice. This place blows ass. Two stars. What does he want? Maybe he had a couple free hot dogs. He really enjoyed it. Two stars for you. You know what? One for a I'm going to give this place one star for each time I get touched in here. Speaking of getting touched in here, we've got to touch

[64:01]the list. Oh, I don't like where this is going, so I'm going to stop. OK, the list has touched our lives. OK, it's robbed us of countless hours of sleep time with our families. OK, and guess what? I've loved every minute of it. I can't wait to talk more about Aaron eating tinned fish. Can you imagine the parody songs I'm going to make when we actually get some albums that I can make a parody song to? OK, but does this belong at one? No, at 272. That's right. 272

[64:31]is like Sarah Palin. Oh, you guys were 100 seconds from 69 minutes on the podcast. Oh, God. OK, and it free hot dog buffet. Four stars. I get that one. OK, so listen, rolling well-toned, rolling bone or rolling grown. OK, what do we think, Aaron? Rolling well-toned, rolling bone or rolling grown? White light, white heat. I don't get it. Rolling grown. Apologies to all the Velvet Underground fans out there. I hope you keep listening. OK, Russell. No, they haven't listened for a long time.

[65:01]Russell, what do you think? Rolling well-toned, rolling bone, rolling grown, white light, white heat. Don't want to be too negative, but I think it's by far the most unimpressive album that we've had on the list. So, wow, rolling grown. I would say that's pretty negative. Matt, what do you think? Rolling well-toned, rolling bone or rolling grown? What album are you doing? White light, white heat by the Velvet Underground. You didn't tell me what album we were doing, so. I apologize. Rolling grown, just way too much Velvet Underground, Lou Reed on the album, on the

[65:31]list as it is. We get four albums. That's going to be the max. That's what I'm going to recommend. Four albums is as much as anybody gets. Yeah. So these guys are sitting around there like, hey, this one or doggie style, which one should we put on? Weezer, the blue album. Unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. Shit. No way. This gets a rolling distortion. Distortion. Hey, I didn't even mention this time, but if you want to talk, we're talking shoegaze.

[66:01]You can't talk shoegaze. You can't talk shoes with Lou's albums. Talking about this album. I mean, this is coming right after the Summer of Love, and all of a sudden you get this album. You have to admit it spawned a whole fork of music that I don't want to listen to. Something to think about. Yeah. Next week, we have an album that makes me guess we have a 50-50 shot of quitting this podcast before we record it. It's the famous album Entertainment by Gang of Four, which

[66:31]includes the songs Love Like Anthrax, Ether, and Guns Before Butter. There's no joke there. Because this is our life. We're going to get together and listen to... It would be hard to not argue. That we've hit a tipping point. I would say so. No, seriously. Right after we keep saying that. The Byrds, Curtis Mayfield, Radiohead. We're coming up on something. We keep saying it, though. The Benz, right? Is that the Radiohead album? Hey, Russell, I wanted to thank you

[67:01]for coming here today. Now, we're going to talk to Aaron a little bit. We're going to have a bit of an intervention about his fish. Okay? So, we're going to tell him to stop eating so much canned fish. Matt, what do you have back there? What is that back there? Is this... Is this licorice? Matt's not recording. Yeah, we're hearing Matt right now because he turned off his recording.

[67:31]He's trying to go to bed. Hockey starts in six hours. Tell you guys what. Think about Blair Witch. What was it? Blair Witch Trials? Blair Witch... Project? Blair Witch Project. You know what, Aaron? The idea that you went and saw that movie and hated it, it makes me so mad. You know what I want to go do? I got this huge fucking barrel of

[68:00]chew spit. And I think I know just the place... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
