[08:34]begging for voicemails i'm not too proud please send voicemails and guess what we did we got two of them i'm so happy because we needed them real badly and guess what we need more real badly how i can fend on but for voicemails at all money oh my god oh i would also give money for voicemails at this point i'm not an instagram users but i would imagine i can understand how it works but like if your life like if you get updates about

[09:00]the back to the better podcast on your instagram feed you probably need to like add more to your feed right no okay the back to the better instagram is not adding a lot to people's feeds i'm gonna say that right now there's not a whole lot going out on that instagram we're more like we're just letting you guys live you know what i mean we're kind of the chill podcast that doesn't really care if you're listening or not but we do want voicemails i don't have to tell my wife when we're recording anymore because she's just oh i said hey we're recording tonight just so you know oh i knew that i saw it on instagram wow okay wow it's helping me out wow it makes her she's like

[09:35]and i'm turned on by it you know and you know what matt i'm sorry i did impression of your wife saying she was turned on unless you're into it okay and if you are at the end of the episode you know what i'm gonna put that in the video i don't know it's kind of doing for me me is matt's wife turned on question mark so man that's gonna be the question for you now russell we're gonna find a question for you at the end of the episode too okay we're gonna have a little trifecta of questions right at the end i know you've already done karaoke song and i

[10:03]believe you did walk up song but if you found yourself in the middle of a dance-off what song would you want to be played for you this is sarah from eden prairie by the way not russ i still listen to you and laugh every week love this podcast love you boys wow seems to end abruptly there a lot of the word a lot of the l word making me a little uncomfortable we're asking for a lot of commitment here that's because your pants are getting too tight russell okay that's uh guys if we're gonna

[10:35]do a dance-off i'm on a roll today already if we're gonna do a dance-off to a song i can tell you right away what i'm doing and you know this of course there's only one song that i would pick for a dance-off and of course it is what i consider one of the greatest songs of all time it is delight groove is in the heart picture me it's just me dancing and a piece of cardboard i'm spinning around on the ground i'm doing the move where i'm on my

[11:02]elbow at the end you know what i mean that's the move i've always wanted to do kind of i mean you put me in a dance-off and you got this song going holy shit i'm unstoppable i wouldn't take you on no and i'll tell you what i'm a pretty fucking good dancer okay i was at that wedding i've seen it didn't come off the dance floor i dance every chance i get i think everybody should dance as much as they possibly can what about you guys what are we picking for a dance-off

[11:32]song like a prayer i mean that's like my go-to song for so many things just like i feel like a prayer for for a dance-off now you like dramatic at the end of the day it's just like a dance-off there's a chorus in there that'd be this would be it for me and you like some of the symbology in the video of course yeah i'd be trying to reenact any of that just to yeah that was one of those madonna videos where that was one aaron where i was like i mean i was like it was it was

[12:06]not impossible but it was a bummer you know what i mean and and let's let's just remind ourselves of this video it's madonna and then there's a statue in the church that comes to life and has sex with her is that the long and short of this video uh was that when papa don't preach or that this one i i think that for me like this song is going to be on almost any like you could say like your list of songs for like any number of things and

[12:33]this wouldn't be on there for me yeah yeah but if i'm doing a dance-off because this one has a lot of like drama to it aaron all-time worst you know what i mean like the come gutters or just you'd be like why why can't i have come i don't think he does have gutters i think he just has a small little peepee you know what i mean david famously has i don't know it feels optimal for me i'd rather go small than big does have really fucked up eyes though so if you like stare into his eyes oh that would it really gets to you

[13:02]not good damn you're talking you're talking about this girl i do in high school whoa okay that sounds like just the same okay little girlfriend yuck okay uh matt what do you got for a dance-off song what do you think what are you i'm gonna go with rosa parks by outcast okay only because they got the little uh thing in the middle there where they got kind of a little breakdown in the middle by the way guys don't forget that i did bring up what statue you'd want to have sex with okay so i want you to think about that too

[13:31]we can bring that up later it's not gonna be russell's question but it's gonna be brought up later determine your own adventure andre got to a station here's my destination she got off the conversation this is good what album is this off of anyway but this uh is since since sarah from eden prairie brought this up this is a great song with richfield dance you know richfield dance you guys know richfield dance you just feet stay your feet

[14:03]both feet stay planted and you don't move your feet at all you don't have to shuffle you don't do nothing it's all just everything you do has your feet planted to the ground so and i'll tell you there everybody can do it right now and this is a great song too because with the bus you're spinning the hands like there's wheels telling them to get to the back okay then realizing that makes you uncomfortable when you do that add this little my shoulders matt they're going uh-oh a little change up right there yep wow

[14:36]this is a great song this is a great song russell ready to be this for a dance-off russell what do you think for a dance-off what do you what are you dancing to well the obvious answer is definitely killing in the name of by the wow there's only one answer this is rage against the smishy killing in the name of i have danced to this song three times within the last six months probably more than three times

[15:03]three days it's probably it is the song i've danced most to in the last 20 years to be honest paid a lot of money to get them to play this song too which was very well appreciated yeah you sir are a prince yes when this song comes on whether we've heard it zero times or seven times i'm putting on my shit kicking boots and i'm stomping around right now you know the the other one other than this one this is great when we're from vegas

[15:32]i'm i you guys know me i love playing the air guitar when i'm dancing i'm gonna take like shoot me all night long by all right all right i think that's uh that brings the energy okay just because then you can do the what's the guy what's the lead singer the acdc guitar player von scott angus angus yeah you got to do you got to try to do the angus the angus got you the kind of the prance across the stage or whatever that is kick the leg up a little bit

[16:00]mm-hmm shuffled this like if this comes on at this comes on at the the king's court in vegas we're all dancing a hundred percent everybody is a hundred percent you put this on there to be fair any song that comes on the king's court carnival i was i was gonna say i think the second most danced to song has been man in the box for me so i don't know what that means in the box this is so good russell because i can just picture

[16:34]middle-aged guys doing the doing the angus young across the dance floor every guy does right back every guy does it they probably wait for people not to look and then you kind of try to do it i love it i love it caller call back in next week and leave two to three voicemails talking about your favorite dance songs that'd be great okay but not right now we got to get into rolling going okay this is the part where we talk about what we're up to rolling it's time for rolling

[17:05]going oh yeah aaron rolling going how's it going with you oh fuck you would start with me hey rob going more importantly what's your favorite uh gentleman's club song and that could come on oh i gotta think like in the club that's got to be one right oh for sure i mean i mean you hear this in the i mean you know this stripper is coming down from the ceiling coming down faster than you'd like

[17:34]makes you kind of scared hey this is fear sexuality in a way that you love all right hey rob i wanted to tell you this the other day i don't i don't give a fuck if it's your birthday whoa awesome you don't care that's the meanest thing you can say to somebody i don't give a fuck that it's your birthday excuse me you came to my party i'm six years old

[18:02]also when you hear that line about sipping mccarty yes i don't know if it's still out there there was a point in life where bacardi limon is like a top five top three liquor in the world right like you would have it on your shelf yes does it exist even more anymore that's what i think i feel like bacardi limon came out first right so it was the limon flavor then they started doing everything so then it was just like cherry and raspberry and orange and all of it you know

[18:31]they probably watered down the whole bacardi limon uh thing but put a put a little water on the fire there it's not even close for me the least drank alcohol in my life is vodka of the big boys it's vodka i don't order drinks with vodka and i don't drink vodka i think i had a vodka overload i know i did that one day at the campsite with lime vodka and rip your schnapps i don't want to talk about it anymore okay yeah that might shock you that would have been an issue cardi limon is definitely not as culturally popular as it was in the 90s i don't know if it's a good thing or not i don't know

[19:01]in the late 90s early 2000s when there was everywhere in bars bachelor parties and college drinking culture it still exists as a nostalgic drink back then it was huge because flavored liquor was newer people mix it with sprite mountain dew or sour mix oh yeah and it fit the whole club bar era at the time it fit the club era this is the club era today the alcohol market has shifted more towards tequila can't tan cocktails seltzers craft bourbon and premium

[19:30]spirits if if i went to a bar and somebody ordered a mountain dew and vodka okay i would leave that bar you would have to belongs with whiskey it was developed to be a whiskey but it's orange i would say that's why it was invented it was invented to go with whiskey what about diamond do that's i don't i mean different diet whiskey now of course you know what about code red code red of course would be red code red i think it's a vodka 100 yeah it russell isn't that interesting that like that the the world of vodka is a vodka drink it's a vodka drink

[20:01]i mean i'll tell you this album today it makes me think about absolutely getting fucking hammered it's the number one thing i thought of because every time in my life i think i was somewhere where i heard this song and i was like 22 there was a hundred percent chance that i was going to be running around naked by the end of the night which unfortunately was my go-to move when i got too drunk looking back not great okay not everybody was okay with that but i mean you did have that one that one halloween where you just dressed up as a baby so you just had a diaper on i mean that

[20:34]made it pretty easy to start running around naked pretty early and i did have a bottle full of mountain doing apparently at the time it was supposed to be whiskey yeah it was apparently between carter lamone between this and rob's continued insistence on doing like a kissing booth he probably should be reporting some wow wow that's true you should be on the list i should go to a college now instead of a kissing booth hey do you go here uh no you want a kiss it'd be like one of the this i'm not gonna make this

[21:06]political but it'd be like one of those turning point booths like you'd have like the thing set up and everything and people would just be like like thousands of people standing there like watching as people come up to smooch you it would say come debate me you know but if you got close you would see that i had written master kind of into it and it'd be like wait a minute i don't know what i'm getting into here aaron rolling going how's it going with you oh wow i get to follow the master rate joke it's wrong going bad man i've wanted to please don't ever say that

[21:35]again okay whatever you just said don't ever say that again it may be very uncomfortable very uncomfortable yeah uh i want to some of our listeners were curious about how things went with the nine and under baseball tournament and uh i did we did our first game on thursday and we lost in a walk-off fashion and i did try to join the pta meeting at the same time and that didn't really work either so everything just failed the whole thing but they i'm still

[22:04]president so don't worry about your that's right and then we played again today it would be a bummer though wouldn't it if like we saw like well if you saw like the president of your company just absolutely give up an absolute bomb to lose their kids baseball game and that's what their did to see hey how's it going and then they look up they go fuck fuck all right well we're ready to start the meeting you know we're ready to start the meeting you know we're ready to start the meeting you know we're ready to start the meeting you know we're ready to start the meeting you know i mean that would be it would not make me feel good about the company i'm not good where the

[22:34]company's going but yeah the baseball team lost and uh i was yeah it was it was a whole that was a whole bad scene and uh wallace didn't really get as many shots as i would have hoped i should have stuck up for him more so that sucked and then oh you're one of the coaches though right i know you can't you can't stick up for your own kid you have to not what's the deal there yeah that's the hard thing because maybe batman maybe bat knows better than i do but i i think if you're going to be that guy you've got to you've got to stay out of your kids action it's hard you have

[23:04]to i think you can sidle up everyone's won't be okay can we get wallace can we give him one this was this was uh yeah there were two i mean i wouldn't get into it there were uh the only thing he's good at in baseball is pitching everything else he's super struggled so i was like yeah we should you know get him another inning and that wasn't really coming to fruition and then uh today we have 13 kids on the on the team so everybody hits anyway he'd like he batted last and sat the field sat in the first inning on the field so it was like an hour before he got in the game and like

[23:33]i used to be like when i was not the coach's kid i was always pissed off like well those coaches kids get to be on the field because their fucking dad showed up so like that should have been me so we didn't get into it but and then i was gonna go over with some friends and watch the rousy fight and this guy was like i have some beer kale salad and some brioche and that's that's what he had for fight night no people can't do this i just like it was a tough day man so i went over for a minute i ordered some chicken and waffles from

[24:03]doordash and brought that with me and then i left early you brought doordash to like a party yes yeah yeah you have to brussel i brought enough to share i bought an eight piece chicken and waffles oh what a baller move what i'd share with you if you want aaron can i just say this okay going fucking over the top on a shitty host is where it's at okay when the host is licking absolute balls with the food they're bringing to a fight night by the way they say it again quinoa no he said kale salad kale salad to be fair i'm gonna say this if you're

[24:36]hosting a fight night you can't have anything with the word kale in it and you can't have anything with the word salad in it no get the fuck out you can't do that no absolutely not matt that's having a tough day i i famously whether people know it or not have a very uh limited diet like i don't eat vegetables things like this this is the one area where it comes in handy aaron everybody knows that i don't eat shit right so if i bring over chicken waffles nobody's

[25:04]going to question it at all but you eat everything under the goddamn sun so you know you're gonna have to explain yourself when you bring over chicken waffles so i mean i eat broccoli five nights a week i'm not gonna eat kale on that fight night but i don't know i don't know how to fight with because i left to hang out you guys because that's where i prefer to be can you imagine you pull up for a fight night and the first thing the guy pulls out is kale salad i aaron i i know we can't get over it it's i know and i know i shouldn't do this i know this sounds like very

[25:33]california yeah like to the max but i was so frustrated tonight that i have i was like i gotta go on an event i never want to do that but i had to do it man you we're here for you aaron we're here for you this i mean not nary a single wing anywhere no wing to be found at a fight night no unfortunately someone else brought somebody else brought like barbecue chicken sliders so there were others who had the same like hey we got to fix this situation but i was like i'm bringing chicken waffles you're better off having no food

[26:02]right than having a kale salad right that's what i think do you think this guy is secretly a genius do you think he does this all the time and is like i'm gonna get the best food because i'm gonna offer the absolute worst piece of shit ever what was it what else was it beside kale salad give me one other thing uh some beer which is usually like chunky yeah i'm gonna have kale there for a while i'm gonna have kale salad and beer if you're going to that you have to bring something you have to door dash something good and bring it over russell what would you i mean

[26:32]what would you do in that situation russell you find out you're going to somebody's place you're going to spend the night hanging with the bros okay doing a normal thing watching two women grapple with each other okay and then they have no food what are you doing russell oh man this is tough i would tend to not want to bring anything because i wouldn't want to insult someone by like well would you would you eat beforehand then so you're not yeah i would just assume yeah i would probably do that thing too yeah i would do the same yeah stop at chipotle i would it would never even dawn on me though i guess like because usually like ufc fights start late like central

[27:02]time they started like they go from like 9 to 11 right i would assume actually i think i've seen a ufc fight at with matt or one of matt's buddies a few years ago and it's a late show i would never show up with food i would just show up with a 12 pack of beer or something to share with people if they wanted it yeah that's smart i'd show up with 10 pieces of chicken and waffles so i guess that's just me go over the top yep uh that's it for me how's it rolling going with matt uh good i'm at the point

[27:31]where i have not been taking very good notes i'm going down the list to my uh my safety valve here oh hey guys aaron just left so i gotta say this too i think it's shitty bringing chickens and waffles can you imagine something you can't eat with your hands more than that isn't there syrup all over well chicken and waffles are also sometimes different sometimes it comes with syrup sometimes it comes with chicken and waffles sometimes it comes with chicken and waffles it comes with like a gravy type thing he's bringing a gravy they're not always sweet rob sometimes it's like a more savory type dish oh my god i come in and aaron's eating a ton of

[28:05]gravy watching two women grapple each other all right rob i'm gonna need you to do just a little bit of work i apologize so i got from reddit yep some website did some test where they have these songs we think are newer than they actually are okay they really are i i need you guys to tell me what year you think this song is from okay try not to cheat or something you might know already but what year do you think so i think they had like 14 so 340 000 guesses on hitster some music thing

[28:36]and these are the top seven so these are the top seven that people thought were newer than they actually are so what year do you think this song came out i'm gonna say 1985 what do you think aaron 79 i'll go 82 so the the consensus was 82 it actually came out in 1978

[29:02]wow i was way off 78 yeah samsonite wow house of the rising sun by the animals oh my god 68 68 what do you think aaron what do you think 64 i'll go 69 night are you russell again guess 68 it actually came out in 1964 64. i'm good at history okay so they have the

[29:33]seven through four are all uh four year difference so once in a lifetime by the talking heads god i love the talking once in a lifetime i'm gonna say we should know this we did the album right yeah i'm gonna say 84. i think this was a 70s album 79. oh boy russell russell uh 77. guess was by everybody the consensus guess was 1984. rob you are very much on fire

[30:06]with whatever yes uh it actually came out 1980 1980 so four year difference that's way earlier too just all these you know it's interesting because all these songs are kind of like revolutionary i mean we hear a lot of that in the podcast right of like setting the sound you might start getting a little bit of a don't don't stop till you get enough by michael jackson okay aaron what year do you think what year do you think it came out uh i

[30:30]actually i should know this it's on off the wall but uh 78 uh i was gonna say 78 too i cannot tell a lie i'll go 81 83 was the consensus it came out in 1979 yeah because i knew this was a 70s we did this i knew it was a 70s album look at look at this look at the beginning to look at this video this video gives it away and then look at like his videos five years later that's crazy have you guys

[31:00]i went and saw the michael jackson movie in the theater how was it you guys see it i'll tell you what no i heard it was terrible fun experience oh if there was not movie if there's not music in this movie it'd be the worst movie of all time it's there's no but i'll tell you what russell when they play fucking thriller the audience at the end cheers they play the whole song audience oh yeah first time he moonwalks everybody claps first time billy jean comes on everybody claps it was a blast now the only part was at one point that he does say like oh you know i'm just doing this for the children

[31:32]and i kind of looked over at jenny and i was like and then jenny put her finger into my hand that was holding it made me very uncomfortable it was not funny speaking of putting fingers into hands yes you guys will like this all right i'm listening if i like i will i'm not a hand holder like aaron aaron and his wife are hand holders they're i guess if they go where they hold hands i think famously i'm not a hand holder i'm famously not a hand holder so the other day the upstairs roommate and i are going somewhere in an uber

[32:04]we're going i don't know if it was a timberwolves game or going out to dinner or something i reach over and try to interlock fingers like mike vrabel diana russini style just to see what the reaction is yeah what just to see so i i'm kind of got my hand over there and i'm working i'm working it and then i get interlocked figures and she had like a freak out and pushed my hand away wow she was not down with my mike variable

[32:33]diana russini thing so so i'm looking at the picture now now here's what you have to understand about their interlock they're face to face and they're interlocking fingers rob this is in an uber in a public vehicle yeah so they're doing like that they're doing like the hogan ultimate yes they're doing the strength yeah oh i was wondering why why she was going no no and then seeming to get stronger

[33:01]i believe it's called a greco-roman knuckle lock do you think who do you think wins the greco-roman knuckle lock for a senior hey listen no matter what no matter what we're all winners russell with this but man you know what i do care about i want to i want to see next time you and the wife go somewhere go for the interlocking figure and see yes go for the greco-roman knuckle lock and see what she does yeah we went we went to we went out to brunch for mother's day and we were walking up down the street and went to heather's over on uh i think it was like 52nd

[33:35]and chicago yeah you know nice little right across from the church it was good good spots grabbed her hand we were walking down the path was holding hands but not not you guys ever doing that way different you guys ever doing a little cheek grab not a grab but just kind of like a hand on the cheek like walking with them you're not doing a hand on the cheek like what you said first you said a cheek grab which seems different than a hand on the cheek

[34:02]to me okay maybe it turns into a grab at some point i'll sometimes do the little kind of walk and put the hand on the butt move kind of a thing oh butt cheek okay i was very confused i thought you're talking about like squeezing like a child's cheek like oh you yeah i was like that's a weird thing to do to your wife i don't know oh you little apple dumpling cheeks something talking about i was like why would you do that when you say i don't do any work around the house but yet it seems like i cook every dinner and do all the dishes that's just so much oh my god so

[37:01]that's it that was from some uh sort of that's it that was from some uh sort of thing that asked 340 000 people at some thing that asked 340 000 people at some thing that asked 340 000 people at some website and came up with that wow website and came up with that wow website and came up with that wow history's a fun game man russell history's a fun game man russell history's a fun game man russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going how's it going with you rolling going how's it going with you rob can you pull up let him know by ti rob can you pull up let him know by ti rob can you pull up let him know by ti so this goes out so this goes out so this goes out to my timberwolves this is the timber Timberwolves entrance song when they're introducing everyone. The Timberwolves finally got taken down, but I had to relive for the upstairs roommate and I, this is our favorite thing to do is watch the Timberwolves go to the games. We went to all the playoff games.

[37:30]They were super fun, but got to give a shout out to my wolves for giving me entertainment for the last year, even though they lost. But I wanted to share two things from the last game. We went to the two games ago. We went, we always kind of sit lower deck kind of off about like the baseline, not behind the hoop, but on the baseline, on the side of the court. Okay. Baseline extended. Baseline extended. Exactly. Hey, my favorite baseline. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. No, we're running too long for that right now, man.

[38:00]So the last time we went two games ago, one of the San Antonio games, I believe the game, I don't know if it was the game. He got Victor got kicked out or one of those games. We were at the game and we're sitting there and all these people start coming to their seats really late. It turns out the tickets we bought online are in the family section. Oh, no. The Wolves family members. Oh, no. Wolves family members. Yes. Whose tickets did you buy? I don't know. Some people must just be selling. So not everyone in the section is wearing a family badge,

[38:31]but probably 50% of the people in that section and over next to us are wearing like a family badge. Could you tell who belonged to who? Like did you know whose family was whose? You could not tell. I have a guess that some of them were related to Joe Ingles somehow. I'll just put it. That way. But there was a lot of people that came in, but you know what? The officer's roommate told me and I kind of told her we didn't like sitting there because when your team's not playing well, you kind of wanted you want to be a fan, right?

[39:00]You just want to be like, come on, Randall, like play with, you know, give it some effort. We need you. It's the playoffs. You want to have like you want to be a fan and you don't want to worry about like insulting someone who sit right next to you, right? Right. Right. It might be his mom. You can't be yelling Gobert. You suck nuts. And all of a sudden a six foot four French woman stands up in front of you and is furious. You know what I mean? Like that would be really bad. Yeah. So that that was that was interesting. But we went we went again to game six the other night where they got shellacked and got knocked out. And you know what?

[39:30]We live in this world of everyone's got to be a champion. And if it's if you don't win it all, it doesn't mean anything. I think that's all bullshit like sports or entertainment. And if you go to these games and have fun just because the last game doesn't end the way you want to. Or even if you get smoked like we're talking like you could argue there. Maybe we're the third or fourth fifth best team at the end of the season based on the playoffs and everything and not everyone's going to win. And so I think we got to get away from the only thing that matters is

[40:01]finishing first. I do not subscribe to if you're not first, you're last. I just don't believe in that. But what do you guys think? That is the biggest bunch of loser talk I've ever heard my entire life. That is the talk of somebody who's spent the entire year watching the Timberwolves. And yet again, is disappointed as a Minnesota sports fan, as we all are. Okay. Russell, I get it. Okay. This is something that has brought you and the upstairs roommate closer together. Okay. But they suck nuts. Okay. And go bear. Can you score five points the other day?

[40:30]Okay. What do you use part of a couple of assists? Maybe it would have been nice. Oh my God. You got to enjoy the great regular seasons when they happen. I mean, NFL excluded. The NFL is different. But when you get a great basketball or baseball regular season, that is so long to have fun with a fun team. You care about it. You have to enjoy those when they happen. Do you think we're going to die without seeing another Minnesota state? Yeah. I was going to say we're at 131 seasons now with the wild and the wolves losing. So the format major men's sports, right?

[41:00]131 seasons without a championship. Wow. Russell, we, we promised, we promised not to tell you this, but it was really, it's Rob's fault that the comeback didn't come to fruition. Man, don't say that. Yes, man. Do not tell him because we, we, we build it back up. We were only down 12. And then so then Rob and I put another $10 on the game and then bam, they just instantly went down 20 again. So it's Rob's fault. So I, I, I'm very aware that Rob has like multiple levels of secret text chains on

[41:32]who he allows to bet with him. So there's like a 15 person one. He's got like a seven. He's got all these different levels and there's probably one where it's just him and one other person. And there's probably people that are on this. There's other people that are on this. Or listen to it that think they're part of the closest one that I would better not. And so that might affect that. They may affect Joe, but there's people out there that I better not on Rob's highest level that think they are. What if I will say this? It's just me and Jeb.

[42:00]While I respect Rob's love for gambling. I don't know that I've ever won money gambling with him. No. So every time you guys bet on the wolves, it was enraging to me. And I would stop looking at the text chain for like days because of it. Cause I was like, well, this is for fun. This is such a, like I told you, man, I absolutely told you that's what was happening. I a hundred percent called that. I said to Matt, I said, I don't want to bet wolves money line. Cause if they lose, I'm going to get played. And Matt's like, I don't know. I think it'll be okay. I don't even look at it. I just scroll by. When you guys start doing the,

[42:30]with the bulls betting, I wouldn't even know what you're betting on. But the other thing I wanted to share is Russell betting season is over. We are shutting down betting season until the football season starts up. Betting season is done for the summer. As, as long as these four guys make the top 20, the PGA championship, we're going to be fine. Nope. Yeah. You, you, you forgot about how much fun the world cup was. You know what? Fuck it. Wrap it back up. We're getting back. Okay. We're going back into it. Wrap it up. I have a hot take. So we go to the game and every time we'd get some,

[43:01]I'd get some drinks and we would get, we would, we would get in this line to get like a popcorn the other day. Yeah. And it's one of these things where they've got like two people working there and it's supposed to, it's supposed to be like one of the quick lines. Like there's, there's got like coolers with, with beer. They've got popcorn. You're supposed to, it should go quick. You're not sitting there ordering something fancy. You're not waiting for them to cook a burger. It, it should go easy. This line's just taken forever and forever and ever. And you're kind of looking up and you're watching this old person run a

[43:31]register and they're carding everyone who's buying a beer. And it was enraging to watch them stare at people's IDs when the person buying it is clearly like in their fifties, sixties, seventies. I have a new idea. It might not be popular. I think there should be no carding at any sporting events. And if underage people buy booze, then underage people buy booze and their parents shouldn't let them go. If they're worried about it. What underage person is trying to spend 2395.

[44:00]I just think we don't need to be carding people. Like half the people miss the first half of, or like the first six minutes of the third quarter of every game because they're out trying to get a drink and it's taking forever and they're carding people. We don't need to be carding people at sporting events. If 18 year olds buy booze at that, I don't give a shit. So I'm all for getting rid of carding people at sporting events. I may be for getting rid of carding people everywhere, but at sporting events, I don't care.

[44:30]Just let it flow. Wow. Russell, that is such a good take. I can't believe they're carding at a basketball game. Like who can afford a playoff basketball game for the wolves? It was enraging because we've got it. What's appeared to be the easy line just to grab the popcorn. So you didn't have to stand in a long line. So you didn't have to stand in a long line. So you didn't have to stand in a long line. And then it was just terrible. No. So I think we should, there should be no carding, but it is frustrating. Russell being a Minnesota sports fan. It's frustrating. You know what I mean? Like we deserve nice things every once in a while past 1987. Or do we, I don't know.

[45:01]Maybe we don't. Maybe we don't. I think you've got to rethink about what nice things really means is what I would say. Roland go on Rob. How's it going with you? Wow. I go, listen, I've gotten a massage now every week for the last three weeks. Okay. I'm in full recovery mode, getting ready for nationals this week. Okay. I am ready to go. Okay. Kind of, but I went in to this massage on a Friday. Okay. And this is not like a normal, this is like a spa. There's cold tubs, hot tubs. So I go in and sure enough,

[45:32]I strike gold and I know it right away because the guy who's given me a massage is the weediest looking European guy you've ever seen. He was the sketchiest guy. You wouldn't trust this guy anywhere. And I was like, if this place hired him, he's got to be an absolutely unbelievable masseuse. Now he did have a conversation with me before it started and it kind of went south. All right. It did not go my way. He starts by saying, of course, you know, Hey, you know,

[46:00]is there any spot you want me to really focus on my neck, my back, my pussy, my crack, you know, the usual, but the inside of my mouth, you know what I mean? The, the, the tip of my eyeball, you know, he'd have to, he, Rob, he, then he'd have to, he'd have to refer you to his colleague, the fish hooker. Oh God. Oh, wait a minute. I, can I just say this? I was confused. Okay. I didn't read your card perfectly. This is not what I expected. Can I have my $200 back?

[46:30]Is this like the music hall of fame where you wanted people to be able to put fingers in people's mouths? A hundred percent. You should be able to feel what Prince's mouth feels like. I thought of that the other day when we talked about the hall of fame. Yeah. Yes. Now I remember. Yes. Just a ring finger goes, right in there. You know what I mean? Right into Steven Tyler's mouth. What does that tongue feel like? Oh, so the guy says to me, Russell putting his finger on Russell's putting his finger toward the camera. So I put my mouth toward the camera. Okay. And Aaron was so turned on. He passed out.

[47:00]He's not getting enough blood flow to his head. Pretty perverted. Listen, okay. That was my nickname. Pretty perverted. Oh, now he said, is there anywhere you don't want me to touch? And I go, no. And he goes, except for the inappropriate places. Oh, and I go, you can't have me say no. And then bring up the inappropriate places. Then he turns to me and goes, listen, due to club policy, you will have to keep your underwear on. Is your underwear dry? And I said, no, this is a swimsuit. I was just out in the cold tub in the hot tub.

[47:31]I am not getting a massage in a wet swimsuit. Okay. So he says, then he really dropped the hammer. He goes, okay, well, I have these disposable underwear, but I, but I don't think they're going to fit you. I was like, motherfucker. Let's just get this. So I'm mad. Okay. Cause I'm listen, this is, if you've ever put on massage, disposable underwear. Okay. Matt's given a big nod. He wears it all the time. Okay. It is like a hairnet. It fits over anything. I don't know who wouldn't fit in this disposable underwear. And you know what?

[48:00]I kind of liked it. I kind of wanted to take it home. It was like mesh underwear. It's very cheap. Felt like it would come off at any time. It's perfect. Okay. So I'm not happy, but I, I'll tell you what I lie down. And I texted Aaron after this. Okay. I was a massage. So good. I texted Aaron afterwards. I saw God during this massage. There are times he, this guy at one point, he's rubbing my, like my front of my shoulder. And he goes, this is going to be invasive. I've never been so excited in my entire life to hear something.

[48:32]He took a finger and put it into my armpit under my peck. And then was squeezing my peck from both sides. Oh my God. You know what I mean? And he was squeezing it tight. And I was just like, this is the greatest massage I've ever had. This is the greatest. It goes the birth of one child, this massage, birth of the other child. This is one of the greatest days of my entire life. He was rubbing the peck. Did you say, Hey, give it a little mustard? No, no, I did not say anything to this guy. Cause I, my thing with these guys is it's the reason I like having guy masseuses is

[49:02]that I challenged their masculinity naturally just by me existing. You know what I mean? Cause I won't make a noise. I'll sit there and they'll be absolutely fucking cranking on me. And it hurts so bad. Russell, I'm seeing flashes. I'm, and I won't make a noise. And so guess what? They go, they got to go harder. They go harder. They can't go hard enough. And then at some point I'll kind of give them what they want. You know, I'll be like, Ooh, Ooh, that hurts. Ooh, it kind of hurts. And they like that. You know what I mean? But they know, okay, this guy's actually pretty tough. Okay.

[49:30]Until unfortunately when they start rubbing my feet, then I go, he, he, he, I can't help it. There's nothing I can do. And that is it. So let's, how long, how long before you get on the tape? How early in the conversation do you mention you have a weightlifting thing coming up? Like it's gotta be an under 10 seconds, right? You know what? I actually don't because a lot of times then they'll go easier on me. And that's not what I want. You know what I mean? Like I want to be abused. And sometimes they're like, well, wait, I want to go. No, no, no. I want this person to think I like, I'll say like, I like war crimes. You know what I mean? I want this person to hate me.

[50:01]I want them to go after me big time. Okay. And don't clip me saying I like war crimes. Not that you have one coming up, but do you, do you say I am a weightlifter? No. Well, you don't know. I assume they can tell if that guy is sticking his hand underneath his peck, he knows whatever. I mean, like, yeah, yeah, it was, you know, it was awesome. The only problem was that this guy was very tall. So the massage starts out with the table just going up for like 30

[50:30]seconds. I mean, for you though, I mean, most people like not me, but I'm like you, Rob, right? So most people compared to me are very tall. So that's not really saying that much. All right, let's get into the album. We're running out of time. This show is going so slowly. We need to speed this up. Let's get into lit. Get rich or die. Try and by 50 cent. Listen, we got to talk a little bit about 50 cent. Okay. Can I just say 50 cent? I feel, or what do we say? Do I, do I have to say 50 cent? You can say 50 cent.

[51:02]Okay. I would say 50 cent. I do. Okay. Thank you. That's what I wanted to hear. So 50 cent growing up in Queens, selling drugs, gets arrested, gets arrested, a number of times. Once he got arrested and they came to his house and he had 10 ounces of crack cocaine, which by the way, 10 ounces is a lot. Okay. Heroin. And then he had a starter's pistol. Oh man. I love crack, but you know what? I love you even more. The a hundred meter dash. Okay. Let's get this.

[51:30]Getting out of the block. So good. So, I mean, if you were going to rob somebody and it's like, listen, we're out of guns. Okay. I got some, some bad news. Okay. Good news. You're going to get a gun. Bad news. It's the most obviously fake starting pistol. Jackson got sentenced to three years in prison, but he goes to this bootcamp, gets out in six months, gets his GED at this bootcamp there. He names himself 50 cent because guess what? Russell, guess what he's doing with his life change. It's a metaphor for change.

[52:00]He comes out and all of a sudden he starts rapping in a friend's basement. The friend refers him to jam master J who's starting up a record label. Wow. That's right. And all of a sudden he just kind of blows up. He's on Onyx song. He's on react by Onyx. He's featured on that. And then he comes out with this. You have to explain to me, Aaron, he's kind of the master of like the underground mixtape. That's really how. Yes, this is, this is like the height of mixtape rap. It's the early part of internet rap. And he,

[52:30]so his mixtapes got buzzy and they were in, it was when wrong stone or other magazines would write about mixtapes that, you know, rank mixtapes by the week and became, he comes out with a song called how to rob where basically he says, this is how I would rob biggie smalls. This is how I'd robbed Tupac. This is how I would rob Eminem. And he really like Angelo gets in there. He gets the Angelo. Yeah. It's, it's, he would, how he would rob every different person. And so he's huge. He's so big Aaron that before his album came out, Nas wanted him to come on the Nostradamus tour.

[53:02]Nostradamus is back. We're talking about it again. Okay. I think you can hear it in the, I think some of this album was rushed. A market to capitalize on his big stardom, because I think it's really sonically uneven. Go ahead, man. And mixtape just, I think I know this, but just for everybody else as well, this is literally just, he's producing his own album, putting it on a CD and then passing it, like, you know, like burning CDs in the old day and passing them out that way. And that's how they're getting right.

[53:31]It's not, not like done in a production in any, is it pretty raw when you hear them or is the quality decent? A lot of this sounds like a mixtape to me. It is pretty like, it is pretty raw because it would be like ripped beats from MP3s or whatever. There's never. Yeah. And, and, and so he, he, he then we're going to talk about why later, but he gets shot nine times. Right. And this is the number one thing. Like if you're, if you're our age, all you heard about 50 cent is that he was shot, right? He was an actual gangster. Cause you have to understand puff.

[54:00]Daddy's coming out in the shiny jacket. Nelly's doing country like songs at this time. And all of a sudden we have a true gangster. Rapper who just was in the hospital guys, he got shot and, and, and he lost a tooth because of it. Can you imagine getting shot with a gun and it hits your wisdom tooth and you're just in the hospital for nine days. That's crazy. It changed his voice. You can hear his voice. It's crazy. And you know, who patiently waiting for sure. You can hear the guy who shot him used to be Mike Tyson's bodyguard. It's crazy.

[54:30]He had recorded an album at this time with Columbia called power of the dollar with a song on there called ghetto Quran. And they drop them at this point after he gets shot. They say, we can't take them. We're dropping them. He's not allowed to record in any recording studio in the United States because of the song ghetto Quran. He has to go to Canada. And basically he goes mixtape crazy. He's taking people's beats. He's rapping over it with better hooks. So would he take other people's songs, Aaron and like do. Yeah. I mean, that was like the mixtape, like mixtapes were like, many of them were like freestyles over an existing beat.

[55:04]Like little Wayne did this a ton. Easy did it. It was always some existing beat you knew in them doing, they're then doing their own, but it's he doing like other people's beats that they've used for big songs and showing that he could do it better. Yeah, for sure. Like every, every big, like every big hit then made it onto a mixtape. So everybody would want to do their verse on it. Like it was like, that was like common. Who hears the mixtapes Eminem Eminem gets it from his lawyer, takes it to Dr. Dre. And so now all of a sudden 50 cent is working with Dr.

[55:30]Dre. So now we have an interesting combination, right? This is a New York rapper with New York style, but it is Dr. Dre hooks coming in. And so we've got Eminem producing on this. Dr. Dre, it comes out Russell. It's number one on the billboard 200. It's the best selling debut rap album ever. Okay. The lead single in the club sets a record for most listened to song on the radio. It gets a best rap album, but it loses to speaker box love below. So let's mean you could make an argument in the club might be the biggest

[56:06]song of our lifetime. I wouldn't disagree. You could, I wouldn't disagree when this song comes on, everybody gets up like this song. And that's what I thought when I heard this album, can I just tell you what it made me think of just getting absolutely shit faced. Anytime I heard 50 cent, I was getting fucking hammered at this time, by the way, that intro listen to it with headphones. It's so good.

[56:30]What up gangster? Hey Rob, I'm actually listening that with my air airplane at Russell. I went and got the fucking shoes, Russell. I listened to you. I went and got shoes. How have you not got out and get some headphones? Okay. I do have good headphones for listening to real stuff, but for you guys on the podcast, I can use so sick. That's so insulting. I bet if you track, when you started listening to the airplane headphones and the quality of this podcast, they're correlated with how much it's gone down recently. It's because of those headphones. This to me has mixed tape sound quality.

[57:00]This is like what you would have, like they must have ripped it straight from the next day. Well, I mean, it's just bass and claps, right? I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's very minimal. And then we have patiently waiting and it's got, listen to this. It's got Eminem going crazy. This is an Eminem beat, isn't it? I think it's a hundred percent. So then you have Eminem and then you have 50 cent coming out and rapping after him. Eminem's huge at the time for this too. Like he's before this,

[57:31]right? What's that? Yeah. Eminem's before this, but he has a huge album's rates around this, correct? Yeah. And really this kind of set, the tone for like before this, Dr. Dre wasn't really like a taste maker. You know what I mean? This, when it, when it was 50 cent, it was like, Oh, all of a sudden he can pick people picking somebody. Cause then it was Eminem 50. Then he tried Bishop Lamont. That didn't work. Then it was game. But this I'm telling you, I really, really, really enjoyed listening to this album. It took me back to a time.

[58:00]I don't know what, I mean, I never listened to this album a lot growing up, but you just heard it. You just, I never like put it on. I wish that many men, there's probably something for it being main mainstream enough hip hop that it would be on like KDWB. Like it would be on regular stations that 12 year olds would be listening to at the time. Right. Well, and I think it was, it was on everything. Yeah. And you have to understand what a force 50 cent was at the time. Like everybody knew the bulletproof vest,

[58:31]the getting shot. Like you can't overstate how huge he was. You were like, Oh, this is going to be one of the biggest stars of all time. This, this album, like this song particularly to me, it sounds like it belongs being played from a tiny boom box with a CD in it. Like from some, like it just felt like this was everywhere. It's like in a car on somebody's CD player. It's just wherever. Aaron, what do you think of 50 cents actual rapping ability? Like you don't,

[59:00]are you not happy with how this album sounds? Is that what you're saying? I'm saying the sound, the sound quality to me seems uneven. No, I think the rapping is fantastic. I think he, has a way of turning a phrase. I think he would say things that were outrageous enough, but sort of in a believable way that he really captured people's attention. Yeah. I think he's great as a rapper. I mean, on this album, I will say, if you look at the sound, like waves for this album, this is right at the height of the loudness war. Every single one of these songs is absolutely pegged.

[59:31]There is no dynamic. It's, it's all as loud as you can possibly get. And of course, and I just, I felt like there were places where like, the mix isn't great, where like his voice is too low in the mix. And I think, I think you can hear the difference between something like in the club, which was really carefully crafted to be a piece of music that was going to hit big versus Wanksta, which is like, we got to get a track on the album where we know he's rapping his ass off. This song spent nine weeks at number one, nine weeks. I dare you not to try to move a little bit when this comes on.

[60:00]Jesus. Just making that first sound. Just the beat. It's unbelievable. And I think his ability to do hooks is not to be diminished. Like he, the way he does the hook really sets the stage for this song. He credits, uh, what's his name from, uh, Run DMC, Jam Master Jay. He said Jam Master Jay helped me a lot with writing. He's kind of learning how to do that.

[60:32]He that's he's, he's openly credited him with that. Makes sense. Have you ever actually been in a club? Oh yeah. I went to the escape ultra lounge once. What'd you think of it? Aaron? Uh, I feel like I went to one drink. Sorry, go ahead. You can drink vodka soda and listen to music. Oh, that sounds pretty good. Actually. I went to one club in Chicago, man, on that trip. I don't know. Were you on that trip? And it really stressed me out. Like I, I felt like I was constantly being judged.

[61:01]Yeah. I don't know. Russell. What's your club scene. You hitting the clubs? I'm not really my deal. When's the last time you've been to a club? Now within the last couple of years, I don't think, you know, they had here in New York, they had an adult prom where you could go and it was prom, but it was all music from the nineties. It was kind of fun. Like we go and it was like at 8:00 PM we went,

[61:30]and it was just a bunch of 40 year olds were like, yeah, this is a good time. Timing. Yeah. That's the time to be out. Yeah. Rob, the one that would, we were younger, I don't know. I think this is a club. Wasn't tropics. What was, what was tropics? Jenny has strong thoughts about tropics. She'll talk to me about tropics sometimes for sure. I never went tropics was the 18 and up club, right? Yeah. I remember going there. I went there once or twice. You know, who fucking loved it. We're the twins, the twins that you guys played basketball with. They, well,

[62:00]yeah, they loved these two guys from Montana. They thought it was like the greatest thing of all time. Which tells you everything you need to know. Okay. This next song high all the time. Okay. What's everybody looking at? Oh, it is a good one. What's your guys' current relationship with weed? Where are we at right now? Cause it's legal in Minnesota. It's legal in California. I had some tonight because I was so pissed off about baseball.

[62:33]I didn't have something to mellow out before I looked over to the spot. So I love it. I love it. You were, it was, you were that upset about baseball today, huh? Where you had to come home and just absolutely hit your six foot gravity, but you have actually bought any marijuana. Yeah. You know, it's legal. It daddy's container. He comes out. I used to know a guy who had a bong. He had like an eight foot bong and it was in a, like a, it was in like a case and he would take it out of the

[63:00]closet and unzip it. And you're just like, fuck. Yeah. This is the greatest day of my entire life. My real relationship is I only, now I only have weed like once every five or six months. Cause I only like to smoke it. I don't like edibles anymore. I just, and I, but then I'm, there's no good time to smoke weed, man. What about you, Russell? What about you? Once a year, I'll, I'll try some stuff with Vegas, with you guys. I'm a, I'm a, once a year, I'll, I'll try some stuff with Vegas, with you guys.

[63:30]I'm a, I'm a, once a year, I'm a, once a year, I'll, I'll try some stuff with Vegas with you guys. And still in the hidden in the bottom of my drawer here is the stuff I bought when we did the Pink Floyd album a couple of years ago. - Oh, right. And Rob, Rob, what would you say your relationship is with weed? - I would say, listen, he started smiling. - Committed, committed, right, Rob? Committed relationship. - Not committed. - Not complicated. - I was just going to say, you three guys need to get your act together. Okay? This stuff is killing your brain.

[64:01]All right. You need to get out and read a fucking book. All right. Don't worry about me. I'm doing fine. I did buy Aaron slightly smaller cones. I bought the cones that say dog walkers now, because the ones I had were too big. Okay. They were causing me to, - Just the little dog walkers. - Listen, when you're out walking the dog, and all of a sudden you've been out walking the dog for two and a half hours, you're like, fuck, damn it. My whole night. Okay. I could have been with my family. Heat. This one made me uncomfortable with the cocking gun

[64:36]as the main beat. - Yeah. This was a real thing of the time too. It was like, yeah. It was like, this, it feels like, yeah, oof. Yeah. It feels like there was a short period between, you know, this and between Pock and Biggie's deaths. And then this where it felt like, well, a rapper's going to like shy away from being so violent in music. And then 50 came back and was like, yeah, no, we're not going to do that anymore. - Now listen, this is going to start.

[65:00]You're going to hear Dr. Dre say just some words here at the beginning, but I mean, to hear Dr. Dre, I mean, just, you can hear his voice and you just pick them out right away. I got it. I got to say. - This is a great beat. - I love it. - This feels a little, a little Chronic 2000 to me, the vibe of it. - There's some, there's, I would say there are four or five absolute bangers on this album. - Yes. - Oh yes. - Like I was listening to this in the gym, lifting weights.

[65:30]And I was like, I might listen to this lifting weights all the time. - I think we got two weeks in a row here of albums that are like, we should have, - We should have three of these already. - Yes. - I would agree. And I was surprised with next week's album actually. - Yes. - It's one of those albums. What number is this on the list? - 280. - You could make the argument if the other 279 were gone and this was called the greatest ever. I think you wouldn't argue. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And we've got Young Buck. One of the G, G, G, G unit on Bloodhound.

[66:01]So what was G unit, Aaron? 'Cause I mostly just know from yelling G unit a lot. It all the time. - It was their rap group. So it was 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yeo, Young Buck. Young Buck was from Tennessee. So I don't know if it was just like a label concoction, but you know, every, like every rapper has a crew or a label or whatever. So the unit was theirs. - I did a little reading. Young Buck was there for a while and then got kicked out for bad behavior. I was like, God damn. - Oh, that's gotta be.

[66:30]- It's like a Dave Mustaine type thing. Metallica. - Yeah, exactly. - Right, how much worse could you get? - Oh, but can you imagine? It's like, hey, I was just shot six times, but you're too much. You gotta get out of the group. You're fucked up. You're fucked in the head. It's like, it's like he shows up late every day or something like that, like this isn't gonna fly. Hey, at this G unit, we're on time, okay? Did you punch in? - Yeah. - I'm gonna take away one G unit from your paycheck. Back down. So this is a diss track against Ja Rule.

[67:02]And I did some research. - Oh, right, I forgot the head beef. - I did some research on the Ja Rule 50 Cent beef. And basically 50 Cent says a friend of mine stole a chain. Ja Rule saw me hanging out with him later and went and cried to Kenneth Supreme McGriff, who was a drug lord. And he came and got the necklace back himself. But the guy is just a piece of shit 'cause he had to go get somebody to do it instead of coming to talk to me for it. Ja Rule says 50 Cent comes to,

[67:30]now of course Ja Rule, I just wanna remind you, was that he was one of the people that ran Fyre Fest, which is one of my favorite documentaries of all time, where people just showed up and then had to eat sandwiches in cellar home containers. He is a known liar, but I'm not gonna take sides here. Ja Rule says, now listen to this version of the story. 50 Cent came to my video shoot and was trying to get attention and wasn't getting enough. So he took my necklace. It's such a great, like as somebody who works with middle schoolers, you can just tell when a kid's lying right away. I had a kid tell me the other day, he goes,

[68:01]well, yeah, he just, I just put my hand on his face. I go, no, you didn't. No, you didn't. I know you're lying to me right now. No middle schooler has ever just put their hand on another middle schooler's face. That's a lie. So then they come in. - A little something to the cheek. - They come in to Hit Factory. Ja Rule comes in with 50 guys from the murder Inc, okay? They fucking turn off the lights and start stabbing 50 Cent in the studio. He's whipping speakers at him. He runs out. And then finally that was March. And then in May, that's when 50 Cent got shot.

[68:32]And then get this. The song Ghetto Quran was used as evidence in a trial where they went after the murder Inc guys for laundering drug money through their record company. So then Ja Rule said that he had snitched on him. They said, no. And apparently they are still fighting all the time online. 50 Cent said, you know, Ja Rule's come out and said, 50 Cent won. And 50 Cent goes, Ja Rule's a piece of shit and still goes after him all the time, which I absolutely love. What do you think, man?

[69:00]- 50 Cent, Curtis Jackson, might be one of the greatest like vigilantes or vigilante angel type people these days. I mean, he has gone after our buddy Puff Daddy, like with a vengeance. He did that documentary on Netflix and that was his documentary that went after him. - Oh, it's so good. - He get on his bad side and he will just bring it to the masses, right? And so I think it's all hilarious. I think he doesn't back down from anybody and he just goes, he just constantly is dissing anybody he possibly can that.

[69:33]And it's like, not like just for the heck of it, right? It's people that deserve to be brought to the light. So I think, I think what he's doing right now is great. - I just got to tell you, if I made fun of somebody and then they stabbed me in the dark and then later shot me, I would back off a little bit. It's just, you know, maybe it's just me. - That seems like the time to just kind of call it. - Boy, getting stabbed in the dark, one of the worst times to get stabbed. Don't you think? Like if somebody's coming at you and you see the blade go in you and you feel the sweet,

[70:00]you know, the sweet pain that makes you know you're alive, I could see that. But just right now, close your eyes. They stab you. Ah, so scary. - Ah, a talking sausage. - Especially if you're wearing a clown mask. - Aaron, that was for school. That was for learning, okay? I have talked about this, okay? - It's still one of my favorite Rob jokes. - I knew that was bad, but the teachers were like, "You shouldn't be doing that." I was like, "Uh-oh." Listen, next up, we've got, oh, PIMP. This song's a fucking bop too.

[70:31]- This absolutely is. ♪ I'm the one that you see ♪ ♪ Girl, you can holler at me if you're fucking with me ♪ - Snoop on this one? That's a remix, right? - I knew this was good. It is almost shocking that there's all these hits on this one album. - It's crazy. - Yes, yes. And that these are buried in the last five of them. We haven't even gotten to 21 questions yet. Like, these were massive hits. - Did he have another big hit after this album that was just him? - Oh, yeah, for sure. - Yeah, he did "Hater to Love It" with The Game.

[71:01]- Andy Schott's not on this one, right? - Yeah, Candy Shop would be the big one, I guess. That's the one I would know. And then he has "Like My Style." Now, Tony Yayo is featured, but guess what, Aaron? During this album, Tony Yayo was locked up. - He got locked up. I mean, you put Yayo right in your name, they're gonna find you. - It's right there. Excuse me, that's Dr. Yayo, okay? - My dad was Mr. Yayo. ♪ My bachelor baby ♪

[71:32]- "A Little Rich." By the way, the beat on this, crazy to me. - All these are amazing. - It's a fun album. ♪ My whip talk for me ♪ ♪ My gat talk for me ♪ ♪ Blah, what up homie ♪ ♪ My watch saying hi ♪ - I mean, it's a fun album. Guys, I'm telling you right now, this might be my summer album of 2026. Not, listen, is this guy 46 years old and is regretting, is maybe making up for a dime when he's...

[72:02]Honestly, I'm not gonna lie, my birthday was Wednesday. 46 was really rough for me, 'cause you know what it was? - Tell her to hold up, tell her to look at Rob's haircut. - Rob immediately went into, he was trying to do his comedy bit. So for people that can't see what happened, Aaron's wife at gmail.com came in, put in a headphone and was listening, and Rob immediately tried to go into like one of his standup bits, and she took the headphone out and walked away. That's gotta be killing. - I didn't even notice.

[72:30]- You gotta see Rob's haircut. - Oh. - Rob, sure. Show her your haircut. - Look at this, I got my... There I go. - Aw. - Yes. - Looks good. - Do this, and then I also got this. - Oh, yes. - I do like the nails. I'm here for the nails. - Now, do you think getting my nails painted led to one of the biggest fights my wife and I have had in the last year? Yes, it did. - Why? - Okay. - Nails look cool, man. - Thank you, that's what I thought. And I think if you screw one up, and it doesn't matter how much you pay, you're not gonna go back in to ask them to fix it, 'cause they get mad, okay?

[73:01]And I don't want them to be mad. They're gonna be mad at me. This nail is fine. It looks fine. Nobody's looking at my nail. - You just gotta get, you just gotta buy the color, and then you can fix it yourself. - See, you're starting to sound a lot like her outside this thing, okay? - I would've gone in and actually had them fix it, but... - See, now you're starting to sound... - This is turning. - Yeah, this is really... - We're turning. - Rotating, this is not good, okay? - The air and screen is lighting up, and I know what that means, but I feel like I should take the dog out, 'cause it's gonna get real hot real soon. - Oh, yeah. - Okay, thanks. - Oh, yeah, that's what I like.

[73:30]- Okay, love you all. - I feel hot. - What? Aaron, I'm sorry I said that's what I like to your wife when she started talking about hot. - That's what I like. - Hey, Aaron, not you. - There we go, good boy. - Aaron is wanting, oh my God, she's putting the collar around Aaron's neck, and now he's getting down on all fours. His massive erection is dragging on the ground. All right, let's see. 20, 14, 21 questions? No, 21 questions, it's song 14. Listen to Nate Dogg. I mean, guys,

[74:00]♪ Girl, it's easy to love me now ♪ - One of the things that I'm proud of my son for many things, and one of them is that one of his on-the-way-to-baseball game requests is "Till I Collapse" by Eminem and Nate Dogg, and frequently when he asks for it, he immediately says, "R.I.P. Nate Dogg." - Yep, 100%. I mean, could you believe, Aaron, this is happening in my own town? - I can't believe. - Wow. Don't push me. - But you asked Rob about 50 Cent as a rapper, and I don't know what it is.

[74:30]Like, there's, these phrases are not so complex, but he's the only one who said it. And he says, "If I didn't smell so good, would you still hug me?" It's such a simple question, but it's so perfect. - "I love you like a fat kid loves cake." That's all I gotta tell you. - Right. - It's the perfect line. - Yeah, and someone else could have said it, but they didn't, he said it. - When I did the parody song, put on the karaoke version of "P.I.M.P." and try to sing along with it, his cadence is way different than mine. Way different than you realize.

[75:00]Way different. And it's very complicated. Very complicated. - It's probably why Eminem liked him so much anyway. - That's a good call. - That's probably why he hurts. - That's a brilliant call, man. It's very similar. And then you're like, okay, well we're getting toward the end. No more good songs. I like this one. I thought it was fun. I mean, the bass, oh. Guys, I will be listening to this album this summer. - Yes. - And it's 50 Cent.

[75:30]We're back. And you know what, Aaron? You know what I'm going to buy? ♪ I gotta make it to heaven ♪ ♪ I hope I make it to heaven ♪ - A big-ass bottle of Limon, okay? We're buying a big thing, a Bacardi Limon. - We should. Put that on ice. Let's go. - The other thing I think that's gotta go into this, I won't give away my ranking. - Please. - The album cover of this. - Yes. - Is an all-time great album cover, isn't it? - 100%. The broken glass with 50 Cent with the bulletproof vest on. I mean, it's just, he is so good

[76:00]at just creating this legend. And you know how 2000s this album is? This album had to be released a week early because too many people were pirating it and getting that on like a limewire. So they sent it out and it still was the number one selling debut album from a rapper of all time. It's crazy. - It's also just a great title to an album, Russell. Like, I mean, everybody and their grandma knows exactly what it is right when you hear what the album title is. - It's the perfect concept. influence of everything. It really, it is. I mean, this is just, this was really, really a fun

[76:33]album to listen to. And for somebody like me who had never listened to it before, I had a great time. Listen, unfortunately we don't care about the album. Okay. That's the, that's our dirty little secret. Okay. And pubic lice is that we don't care about the album. We care about the list. Where does, does this belong at two 80? Okay. Or should it be higher? Which of course would be a lower number. Okay. And if you're wondering what that would be like, think about this pressure in a submarine, the pressure is getting higher. Okay. You're going down,

[77:02]you're going down. Your wife is saying, Oh, go back in and get your nails painted. We paid a lot of money for it. And then she says a number that's way too high. And you're like, Hey, I didn't get the spa treatment at the pedicure. You did. Okay. But as the pressure is building, is building, it's getting lower and lower on the depth. Okay. Right. Depth is, does depth get lower, Aaron? Now, wait a minute. Does depth get higher as you go down? The numbers get higher. Again, we're going lower. The number's getting higher. The list is the

[77:30]truth. The list is everything right now. You guys got to admit when you see a number go, speaking about getting higher, the number goes down and things are getting higher. You think of me every time. I know you do use sick books. Listen, what do you think? Rolling well tone. This album is perfect at two 80. Okay. It belongs here. We love it. It's perfect. Okay. Just like when you're into club with some Citroen. All right. Some limone. It's great. Okay. Okay. Or is this rolling bone? It should have been higher on the list. We love this album. Like

[78:00]a fat kid loves cake and not cake mix. Okay. I never ate that. I wouldn't eat cake mix. That's disgusting. Or is this a rolling groan? Okay. This should be higher on the list. Hey, it's not that good. We didn't bounce to this that much. It's now, it should be higher on the list, which of course would be a higher number in this case. Aaron, what do you think? So lower on the list means a higher number. Exactly. Okay. Aaron, what do you think? Rolling well tone, rolling bone, or rolling groan? I feel like there are stages in the making of a cake when you could eat the mix. As long as you get the wet incorporated with the dry, this thing's rolling. No, I want to be clear. What

[78:32]my dad is accusing me of is just eating the box of cake mix. And he, he wouldn't say that to his skinny children. You know what I mean? It's just the fat kid that you say that this thing's rolling bone there. As Russell said, there's so many hits on here. Even the things that aren't hits are kind of fun in a weird way. I think it was, it sounds like an album that was rushed to market because it had to capture. The absolute heat that was gone, gone on at the time. So I think it's an important album. It's rolling bone. Oh my God. Speaking of rushed to market the other day, I had this bat and I'll

[79:05]tell you what, he was not doing well. He did not look great. Okay. And I was in China. I can't remember what city I was in, but I was in China and I had to get, I was late Aaron and I had to rush to the market and I tripped and fell. Never saw that bad again. Oh, well, uh, Matt, what do you think? Rolling well, toned, rolling bone, or rolling groan? Rushed to market. I think Aaron covered it. I mean, rolling bone, this is, this is a weird one for me because in 2003, I was graduating college. Like this is the last thing I was doing was listening to like new

[79:34]music. I was listening to cool hippie college stuff. And so, you know, like you obviously heard all these songs, but I didn't, I never listened to this album album, but yeah, this is rolling bone should be way higher. And the idea that I spent so many hours of my life listening to about a revolution, you know what I mean? And not like many men, like I'm fucked. My life is fucked Russell. What do you think? Rolling well, toned, rolling bone or rolling groan? John, this is a clean sweep. I'm also going to say rolling bones. This is, this is like a,

[80:04]we talked about like cultural phenomenon the last few weeks with, with Nirvana. This is a totally different cultural phenomenon. This is so huge. It has got to be way higher on the list, but I will say this. If you're talking Dr. Dre produced albums, there is a classic album. That needs to be higher than this album. That is, that is doggy style, which has a better title,

[80:31]just as good of a cover. And some of these songs, which I will again, bring up the G funk intro gin and juice W balls. If you listen, that's W balls, Lottie Dottie murder was the case. Who am I? Wow. Ain't no fun. Uh, G's and hustlers, we pump pumps for the G's. This is for the, it is, it is a travesty that we have not seen.

[81:02]Listen to doggy style, but I don't think that should take away from the 50 cent album. Can they both be rolling bone? They can both be rolling bone, Matt, but I think one is the classic. The other one is the, the impression. It might be harder. It might be different, but doggy style has got to be way. It's got to be way higher. You know what? Album is really a travesty. Huh? Travis Tritt's greatest hits. You know what I mean? That's a travesty. It's a great, that's a day to be.

[81:34]That's a travesty. If I've ever seen one, what do you think, Rob? What did you rate this out? Unfortunately, you guys are nuts. You guys are in, how high do you guys think this should be? Cause we all said higher, like I say top one, one 50 for sure. You know what? I was going to go as high as 100, but yeah, let's, let's, you know what? Let's take some time. Let's just take some time. Really? This is important enough. Let's open up the list. Aaron, would you put good kid? How many Kendrick albums have we listened to? Oh, um, we've listened to three, right?

[82:01]Okay. Let's just do good. Good. Kendrick's better. Yeah. I'm not saying, I'm not saying who's more talented, but you, would you take all three of his albums over this? No, I might take this one over Marshall Mathers LP. Does this go above that? Yeah, this to me, it does. Yeah, I think so. Like I think right here at one 50, you know what I mean? John Prine, Nebraska and faith. You know, it belongs right in the middle of that. Get rich or die. Try it. I'd put it above a channel orange by Frank Ocean. Oh, that's close.

[82:31]How about damn by Kendrick Lamar was at one 75. Yeah, no, this, I think this is a should be above all that was above dam and below a good kid, med city and pimp a butterfly. This is officially an album that we listened to and we didn't know how good we had it. And now we're enjoying it. It's the purpose of the podcast. How do you pronounce that one at one 56? What is that? I've heard of that one. That's let it be by the replacements. Okay. If you remember that was, Oh, I thought, I thought the Beatles had no, that's weird. No, it was Keanu Reeves. Now it doesn't matter. Those jokes don't work anymore because he doesn't listen.

[83:01]We know that now. Oh yeah. He doesn't listen. Unfortunately, you guys are incorrect. All right. Yeah. This gets a rolling ammunition. Okay. He got fucking shot. Okay. And not only did he get shot, he made an album that shot up the charts. Okay. And it made me get a shot of penicillin after I ventured out to the club. And that was because I, I rubbed up against the pole. Okay. The security was too slow. They couldn't catch me now next week. That would be a bummer.

[83:30]Wouldn't it? That's the thing about Peloton bikes, Rob at the club. Oh my God. Jerry's doing his Peloton bit again. This is so good. This is one of my favorite ones. Okay. I hope he does the part about how his face gets close to the camera. It looks like you're having sex with him next week. We have Harry Nielsen with the number with the number one album. That sounds like a Ben and Jerry's flavor. Nielsen Schmielsen. Oh, okay. It's very nice. I know it's a clean joke. I like it. Okay. We don't have to get into the next album. Yeah.

[84:00]I enjoy parts of it. In the club to the next album is the biggest gap. It's crazy. Two albums that have been back to back. Oh, wow. Right. It's pretty weird. It's enjoyable. It's whipped. I'm not saying it's bad, but, but where they should be ranked, this is the biggest gap between two things we've ever done in the same. Listen, if Metallica was listening to these two episodes back to back, they look at each other and go, whiplash. Listen. Okay. Does Aaron get a request? His final story?

[84:31]This is your chance. Aaron pass option. Okay. This is your chance. Do you want it? No, I'll pass. That is just brutal. It's time to say. This is so fucked. You kind of got an honor. So fucked. I do have to honor it. You gave him the option. Okay. I'm going down the list. So the next thing I wrote down, Hey man, I'm your wife. I'm turned on. Why did I write that? Why did I write that?
