The Beatles: The White Album (...do you hear a tuba?)

[00:00]in 2020 four friends decide to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by

[00:04]rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the

[00:09]order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research

[00:14]all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better

[00:19]we're all the way up to number 29 we've got the beatles with the white album all the way back from

[00:24]1968 guys uh you know we haven't seen each other for two weeks it's it's been a lonely lonely two

[02:15]i've got the perfect podcast for you jack beck did it better what's up all you becker heads out

[02:25]there listen uh we're we're talking about the beatles white album we all know

[02:29]yay beatles this album is often pointed to as the reason that the beatles broke up so we need to be

[02:34]careful this is this can be a real powder keg for us okay so we got to look out uh good thing i've

[02:38]been described as a combined lennon and mccartney so uh this is unlike the beatles we would probably

[02:43]be better if one of us left all right so i feel sad now that i said that let's introduce everybody

[02:47]i got matt minneapolis matt how are you doing excellent rob thanks for having me as always

[02:51]i got russell in minnesota russell how are you doing rob i know why all of our

[02:55]listeners diverted rob you were perverted too i know why our apple podcast ranking is inverted

[03:00]rob we've alerted you aaron out in california how are you doing aaron

[03:04]i'm great rob you guys always want to know when i'm eating i thought about eating a soap

[03:08]impression of my wife and donating it to the national trust but i decided not to do that

[03:12]because that's that would be weird what pregnant pause i'm gonna i bet i'm gonna

[03:20]laugh at that when i'm editing she has the touch of a gentle hand there you go matt knows oh

[03:25]matt knows someone listened to the album here's the deal we are getting into this album here on

[03:30]the davenport of love and i have made a commitment to this episode and i texted these guys earlier

[03:34]this is going to be our cleanest episode yet so so it's going to be i've licked my fingers and

[03:41]it's going to be just so clean it's just crazy clean i cannot wait to see how clean this episode

[03:44]is and i will not be influenced by my terrible co-host to say terrible things so let's keep

[03:50]again we're your co-host oh shoot i can't believe i said that okay let's go to the bex line so the

[03:55]is kind of complicated because this is actually a conversation i was having with somebody over the

[03:59]bex line so if you do text the bex line there is a chance you are going to get a creepy text back

[04:03]from the corporation of beck did it better let's listen so would you be willing to post the top 500

[04:09]list you're right about the rolling stone website sucking i'd like to listen before the episode but

[04:15]i ain't got time for the scrolling and clicking through that website that also might be a good

[04:20]idea for your social media followers they can prepare to listen to the podcast by listening

[04:24]to the album you could post the upcoming album the day you release the podcast

[04:29]you need a new marketing director okay so i just want to say this to say that we have a social

[04:35]media following is a sick and perverted thing to say because there's like four of our friends

[04:40]following and then 25 other podcasts that hope that we somehow listen to them like that's all

[04:45]the people that follow us so and the other thing is i don't know who this person is that can't just

[04:49]find the list like in a non-rolling stone format like it's not that hard to figure out what album

[04:54]is coming out it's pretty yeah it's pretty hard matt matt go through what the rolling stone list

[04:59]is is a bastard there was and it was before they did the remake you know like two days before we

[05:04]were supposed to do this when was that was that back in like november oh my god i can't even think

[05:09]about when that was october november when did they change over 2020 wasn't it yeah somebody had a good

[05:14]list before that and now yeah there's nothing out there and the rolling stone website is horrible

[05:18]rosie has the year knocked down he's like i'm pretty sure it's 2020 he's like i i think it's

[05:23]2020 like that's as far as he's going to go i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know

[05:24]is that a big guess of what year that this i know it was before january 1st 2021 it's my

[05:31]understanding that they're also ripping us because we're not very good at marketing it's kind of

[05:34]unfortunate because i think only one of us knows how to use instagram or twitter or anything so

[05:39]we're kind of struggling there aren't we yeah our bumble account is also not doing very well i will

[05:43]say that i could use a marketing director for that bad boy too oh no i'm talking about the

[05:50]better one i've only gotten laid like four times so i don't think it's working out that well it's

[05:53]like

[05:54]i could do way better i'm pretty sure but i'm trying to promote the podcast all right here

[05:58]and then uh so here you need a new marketing director and then i reply to this person

[06:04]good idea next up is wu-tang enter the wu-tang erin is the marketing director then he replies

[06:10]he has some room for growth in that role that's what she said okay so this is actually very good

[06:16]the joke they texted back was very good but the point was is that they don't think we're doing a

[06:21]very good job of posting what's coming up so i have made a commitment to our social

[06:24]media following if you follow us on instagram at beck did it better or twitter at beck did it better

[06:28]you are going to get one post a day and i'm looking for memes it's going to be memes about

[06:32]the show it's going to be means about the album not going to lie if you're not listening to the

[06:36]show a meme about russ on the adductor machine with his shorts being ripped open is probably

[06:39]not going to make a lot of sense to you but guess what we're a secret club here in the davenport of

[06:44]love and we are a secret clean club and we're gonna do funny jokes that only you get and if

[06:49]you talk about him at work you will be almost instantly fired so please keep that in mind

[06:52]the worst thing about me and the picture of the hip

[06:54]abductor machine was when i meant to text it just to you three but i accidentally emailed it to

[06:58]everyone in my hotmail account and it's just been a disaster i like the idea that you still use

[07:04]hotmail that's probably my favorite part of that whole story everybody on my prodigy page uh all

[07:11]right and that was going back too far wow way back all right so let's get into everybody's

[07:16]favorite segment let's get into rolling going

[07:24]it's time to see what everybody's up to it's time for rolling go you like the rating segment

[07:32]no the crowd does yeah oh yeah i get a lot of feedback from people saying oh we'd like the

[07:38]segment please follow our podcast i don't think anyone's ever made it that far in an episode no

[07:42]one has ever our final rating system i think we offered a dollar nobody ever stepped up to claim

[07:46]it so you might be right apple podcast does have a thing where i can listen to see when people stop

[07:51]listening to the thing on the podcast app i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't

[07:53]do that anymore i looked at it once it was very depressing we don't want to know it's like rob's

[07:59]history of the album zero listeners oh no somehow they skipped that whole section i've gone through

[08:04]that at work we do webinars once in a while and they track how long people are on the webinar and

[08:09]whenever i look at that it is always the most depressing thing in the world to know every time

[08:13]you come on and start talking everyone bails what a tangled webinar we live we've shit i couldn't

[08:23]oh well let's start over matt rolling going how's it going with you yeah it's going good going good

[08:29]um i want to introduce a new segment to the podcast a new segment all right yeah i love

[08:35]these new segments trying to think of the good name for it i i was trying i was workshopping it

[08:40]and i think it's going to be called uh shit grown people do that should only be for kids and if

[08:47]you're not don't have kids with you you really look like a dumbass i like that name it's a little

[08:51]subtle but i don't know it rolls off the tongue yeah

[08:53]yeah so we had a little bit of snow in minnesota doing a podcast is it

[08:59]listen i make my kids i make my kids sit here on the bed while i'm doing the podcast and they have

[09:05]to listen to me okay and then they give me a thumbs up if they think a joke is good and if

[09:10]they don't give me a thumbs up then no food for them tomorrow so we went i took the boys i got

[09:16]two boys we took them over about a block and a half south of us as a park and it's got a sledding

[09:20]hill right and there is definitely

[09:23]like good areas to the hill and then like bad areas like you know nobody wants to go sledding

[09:28]on this little short part of the hill kids are all smoking cigarettes on those part of the hill

[09:32]but like it's packed don't go over there it's the bad section it's think of it like an l you know

[09:36]then there's like the death section right in the middle where you know they got all sorts of cross

[09:40]and you got to look out so but so i'm walking up with the kids and i'm looking and there's

[09:44]definitely there's a spot between two big light poles and it's really good for for my kids nice

[09:50]and steep and you know not too long and they're not going to get caught by the

[09:53]crossfire and everything like that but i'm walking up and i see like four adults standing up there

[09:57]which is fine you know and i'm like okay you know there are spots taken whatever

[10:01]then as you get closer you're like well where is their kids their kids aren't here you know

[10:06]then all of a sudden you realize it's just four like 45 year old people that are just

[10:13]sledding on a hill when there's literally like 60 other kids here they're taking up the best spot

[10:19]that's fantastic they're just out there pretending like they're having a good time but it's like it's

[10:23]like a kid i mean it's not like a it's not like a nice big long hill or something just and you know

[10:27]they're having like races and kind and they just to me i was like you just look like a bunch of

[10:32]hipster dumbasses hanging out out here and so i don't know i'm getting a little your buddy rob i

[10:38]think he's got me on the negative train and i'm trying not to be so we'll we'll train we'll try

[10:42]to change over next time but what what else do you guys think what else is out there

[10:47]that adults do that should be just be a kid's activity but when they don't have kids with

[10:52]them they look like dumbasses is there anything you got before we jump into that matt do you think

[10:57]they looked at you and they're on a podcast right now talking about annoying mean old dads and when

[11:01]in the mean old things well i didn't i mean i didn't confront him or anything i mean i might

[11:05]have looked at him kind of with this little side eye as i was walking by him judge did you judge

[11:09]always judging if it was an early 90s movie matt would have been like you me on the sled

[11:15]winner stays loser goes we're racing for slips baby these kids would be sitting there cheering

[11:22]yeah lube up that lube up that toboggan and then if it were a 90s music video it would have a super

[11:28]sexy mariah carey and a super sexy sledding outfit i guess that's so hot he's doing quite

[11:35]hide that form hide that form please and that's no suit i love it i also think that that's the

[11:39]kind of thing matt where you uh take the kids sledding and then like you go to this hill and

[11:43]you trudge up and you you'd have to ask these 45 year old men to leave and then your kids go

[11:48]sledding for like two minutes they're like i want to go home you're like no we set this up that was

[11:52]i mean it was close to that but then you know you've got i'll let you guys get to whatever if

[11:57]you've got something but it was just funny because there's like three women two guys and they're

[12:02]trying to have this contest and there was this one lady who she was dragging her feet every time

[12:07]so she'd never she'd get like halfway down and every time these people just yell pull your feet

[12:11]up pull your feet it was it was just it got more and more annoying as the day went on so not only

[12:16]were they adults there they weren't even good at sledding yeah like figure it out can you imagine

[12:22]a group of adults if they said to you hey we're all gonna go sledding i'd be like well okay see

[12:26]you guys later have fun well it's terrifying are we that desperate are we that that's yeah that's

[12:31]half of it is like how does this come up like i know guys let's go sledding over here and if it's

[12:35]yeah how about i'll stay at home i'll stay at home and you uh rub ice on my back until it cuts me and

[12:40]i bleed and then stuff shove it all down my underwear so i'm freezing for the rest of the day

[12:44]please do that and make my kids really hungry and cranky so they yell at me for the rest of the

[12:48]time we'll go out back i'll kick you in the nuts and we'll call it a day yeah that's about it do

[12:52]you guys think we will be the first podcast ever to win an award that has had two episodes focused

[12:57]primarily on sledding etiquette yeah yeah the sledding the sleddies ladies yeah i will say i

[13:04]have been in the case where i have been in playing laser tag with kids uh with my kids and then

[13:10]there are other kids in there and it does not feel good okay it does not feel cool it does not if

[13:15]definitely you are giving off major like weirdo weirdo adult vibes like crazy

[13:22]i think the thing for me is that uh we started going to playgrounds again in about january

[13:27]after they'd been closed down out here and you know he started bringing his kid in march

[13:30]yeah so that's it just hanging out at playgrounds i guess that seems weird

[13:36]uh you know before gyms shut down a year ago i was trying to learn how to do more pull-ups

[13:43]and get better at pull-ups and then i don't have a pull-up bar in my house i still don't have one so

[13:47]you know you take your kid to the playground and then like when he's playing you try to find any

[13:51]piece of the

[13:51]playground structure to try to do some pull-ups on and that that starts to feel like maybe you

[13:56]should you know like you're like trying to yeah you definitely you take you take a look around

[14:00]right to see you yeah you don't want to kick your kid might be watching yeah right oh screw the kids

[14:06]is you're just like making sure you're not going to embarrass yourself in front of the other moms

[14:09]and stuff right well that's i mean that's for sure that's a given for sure i'm gonna embarrass

[14:12]myself again this is how you know aaron's a good looking guy he's like here kid hold my shirt i'm

[14:16]gonna do some pull-ups in front of his mom that is absolutely not in the case uh-oh this mom

[14:21]is stuck in the curly q slide she can't get out what's gonna happen here

[14:26]okay so i gotta wipe off the board again so that didn't work that's my bad sub-genre that we didn't

[14:32]know about that rob does russell have you ever looked like an idiot what you should know because

[14:36]you know stuff kids should do the thing that jumped to my mind is not really an action that

[14:41]adults do it's more of a style i've noticed this and i didn't even really want to say anything

[14:46]now aaron has probably picked up this style when i'm seeing him in the zoom here but a few years ago it

[14:51]feels like big thick black glasses like the big dark glasses came back like you would have seen

[14:58]our parents wear these back in the 60s and all of a sudden they came back six seven years ago or

[15:02]whenever it was and kids started making those dark rimmed glasses popular again and then all

[15:07]of a sudden old people started wearing them too and so once in a while you'll see like a 50 a

[15:12]six-year-old dude wearing these like really thick rimmed dark glasses and you're like you're trying

[15:17]to look like a 16 year old right now and i wasn't going to say anything but i realized aaron

[15:21]is definitely wearing those types of glasses that's what i'm wearing right now that is exactly

[15:24]what i'm wearing right now uh funny story about these glasses i wore them to work uh maybe three

[15:29]or four years ago and i i think people on the podcast know that i'm a very white person and

[15:36]my boss asked me if i wore them as an homage to malcolm x which i thought was like very

[15:42]complimentary of her to like for her to think that i was that worldly but also

[15:46]i mean i you know i don't think it's a good look for me to try to be like malcolm x in

[15:51]other than in in you know thought process kind of thing yeah i didn't know how to respond to that

[15:56]yeah that was just day one of the seven day dress up you were going to do and you're like yeah i

[16:01]should probably stop after day one this is good enough this is going to give me a lot of trouble

[16:05]i think i've gone far enough here god damn i can't wait for chapter two of aaron's funny glasses

[16:10]stories holy shit that has a roll on the floor laughing i edited a lot of the laughs out but i

[16:14]stood up my kids woke up they came in here they're dead are you okay you're laughing so hard i was

[16:21]and then i told it to him they're they're on the floor now they passed out they thought it was so

[16:25]funny he has different prescriptions of the right eye it was hilarious oh my god number two he's got

[16:32]trifocals oh my god and that wasn't even his rolling going i mean this is not what he planned

[16:36]to say that was just off the cuff that glass that funny glasses story so i can hardly wait to see

[16:40]what his actual plan story is i think it's going to be so good i can hardly wait i also want to

[16:45]circle back and say that aaron cannot do pull-ups in his house because it's covered with laundry he

[16:49]keeps trying to grab on the lines of the laundry

[16:51]he tells his wife he's like look at all the pull-ups i can do he's just pulling the line

[16:54]down toward him okay i'm gonna insert a clip here of aaron's glasses stories again get those laughs

[16:59]back up oh my god i'm like sweaty i'm tired from laughing so hard you're probably gonna have to

[17:06]edit out a lot of those laughs like i said and then he told us that story that we had to delete

[17:10]about the transition lenses when he goes outside and they turn into sun oh gosh it was so hilarious

[17:14]okay my wife has those glasses i can't make fun of those because she actually does wear those

[17:20]and she's and the other problem with the transition lens is that she's so proud of them and she thinks

[17:24]i don't know so like she'll be outside a bit look look shade she goes inside and goes look and i go

[17:30]yeah i know but when we're like in the elevator and it looks like you're smoking a cigarette like

[17:33]all the time she's always like oh the elevator the mirror the elevator is so foggy i'm like no

[17:38]it's your transition lens she's like was somebody just smoking in this elevator i'm like no they

[17:43]are your shitty transition lenses they are grayed out so that's also good to know

[17:50]rob i'm so glad we deleted all that yeah i just i just don't want to comment your wife's a nice

[17:56]person i don't want to make fun of her yep she's very nice to me she thinks it's great being married

[18:01]to me all right aaron rolling going how's it going with you all right i gotta i gotta catch my breath

[18:06]because i do have a good story to tell i got a story to tell we'll we'll uh we'll be not again

[18:12]i can only handle so much all right so i'm okay i'm rolling going i'm pretty good but i'm a

[18:20]little bit concerned about myself because i think i've lost my ability to talk to other humans who

[18:26]don't live in my house during the last year right like i don't know what it's like we've noticed

[18:31]i wouldn't say you've lost the ability

[18:35]but i'm just off my game as far as this goes so uh last weekend we were um in in lake tahoe as

[18:43]you guys uh well know because i like to talk about it and it was my my son's first time in the snow

[18:48]so that was exciting

[18:49]so i'm just off my game as far as this goes so last weekend we were um in in lake tahoe as you

[18:50]and we on sunday we went to this place called blackwood canyon uh to go sledding because we

[18:55]heard this is a good place to go sledding it's like a public recreation area so we were in the

[19:00]parking lot and um a truck a giant truck pulled in next to us pulling a trailer and this guy got

[19:08]out and you know it's like it's covet time so like i don't know how much to say to so the truck

[19:13]parked right next to us so i don't know how much to say say to anyone because i'm trying to keep

[19:20]sort of thing um but i was wearing an iowa state cyclone windbreaker and stocking cap because as

[19:27]you all know my family are are big iowa state fans yes classic sledding classic sledding outfit in

[19:33]the windbreaker was it a starter jacket or not pro player starter man i don't know who made the

[19:40]jacket i'm not sure look it up russell you definitely not definitely not a starter jacket

[19:43]then you would know if it was a starter no it's a trench coat that he wears it says iowa state in

[19:47]the back he wears nothing underneath

[19:48]you

[19:50]he's at the playground he's at the playground doing pull-ups doing pull-ups with iowa state

[19:54]tattooed across my back okay i'm going to show you kids different way to pull up with a chin-up

[19:58]check this out now if you want to work your lats i think a pull-up is actually best for you but

[20:02]the gentleman who is in the the truck those laughs too says to me says to me well you must

[20:10]not be from around here if you're wearing iowa state stuff and i said well you know i mean i

[20:15]grew up in iowa and my my dad is nice enough to send me some iowa state gear because my family are

[20:19]all iowa state fans and um uh and and so he says oh yeah that's cool and i said but i live in oakland

[20:25]now and then the guy says well yeah and and and meanwhile my son is trying to like jump out of

[20:32]the car because this guy has this big trailer and he really wants to see what's in the big trailer

[20:36]and so it turns out he's about to go snowmobiling so then wallace is like

[20:40]beside himself excited about the snowmobile so the guy opens up the back of the trailer

[20:44]says yeah go ahead and check out the snowmobiles and and then and then he was like and and and

[20:49]check out this stack of pornographic magazines i also have in the trailer it's in the back as well

[22:02]at iowa your response was i have a tattoo of iowa this is not a one-up contest i didn't say that no

[22:07]no i didn't i didn't say that i wish i had it would have been a better a better conversation

[22:10]no that's the thing i totally froze so i said when were you there and he said 99 to 03

[22:18]this is the part of the story where this is gonna be i tell you guys that this dude looks like paul

[22:23]bunion he is a giant he's wearing his snowmobile pants he's enormous he has huge hands and somehow

[22:32]i never like he says 99 to 03 and i don't say to him oh who are you i said oh yeah i gotta guess

[22:38]that's when the quarterback was brad banks right and he looks at me kind of like uh sure man yeah

[22:44]like if you want to talk quarterbacks whatever if you think that's interesting like you know oh yeah

[22:48]i'm an uneducated like i'm an i used to be an educated football fan like you know you don't

[22:53]just talk about quarterbacks but i totally blew it anyway we talked for another like 10 minutes

[22:57]he's super nice he's talking to me and my wife and my son all about snowmobiles and his kids

[23:02]look at the magazines on the trailer he's obsessed and super nice the whole time and

[23:09]he we saw him later when he was on a snowmobile he went past us and waved he was super nice and

[23:14]everything we get home two or three hours later

[23:18]and it hits me that i've been talking to robert gallery yes that's what i'm outland award winner

[23:24]oh yeah number two overall pick in the nfl literally one of the top five football players

[23:29]of all time from the state of iowa and i totally blew it i didn't say one word to him and here i am

[23:34]like some dummy talking about quarterbacks like i don't know shit about football i was so

[23:38]down on myself i can't stop thinking about it was a week ago i can't stop thinking about it

[23:42]do you think robert gallery has a podcast where he's like oh man i went snowmobiling and all i

[23:47]want to do is go to the snowmobile and i'm like oh man i went snowmobiling and all i want to do is

[23:48]get my snowmobile the trailer and instead this guy came up to me and he was like hey do you want

[23:51]to hear this glasses story i've been working on and he told me like i was laughing so hard i had

[23:58]to go home i couldn't even snowmobile anymore that story was so fucking good i couldn't handle it

[24:02]and this guy kind of looked like malcolm x you know what i mean

[24:06]yeah the glasses though rob you live in new york so you probably run into famous people quite a bit

[24:12]at your school or whatnot matt do you ever run into famous people and what's your reaction to them

[24:17]well i guess i did have uh i had uh dinner with um roy mcelroy once wow yeah well i mean he was

[24:27]sitting like my i'm i'm facing this way and he's facing the other way outside of the house looking

[24:31]in through the window but that kind of you know i mean we had tables right next to each other we

[24:36]both sat down at like seven o'clock and you know he was there with his caddy and his wife and i was

[24:40]with some people in north carolina so i just tell everybody i had i mean we were basically

[24:44]kind of having dinner together you know i think we need to talk about this but i think we need to

[24:47]talk about this because i don't think just because his wife was caddy that we should bring that up on

[24:51]the podcast yeah that's a good one that's my glasses story for today yeah uh yeah no i i told

[25:00]you guys the celebrity i saw on the on the road was well i did actually have a kid once uh doing

[25:04]a bake sale outside the school and he said p diddy bought a cookie for 20 do you want to touch the

[25:09]bill that he gave me and i said yes i yes i do and then of course i did see ken burns on the sidewalk in my

[25:17]immediate thought was what the fuck is that going on with his hair let's do a documentary on that

[25:21]hair holy in my defense no longer has his long hair that was his signature when he was playing

[25:26]yeah he chopped it off he's wearing kind of a mohawk kind of look so that's my only defense

[25:31]but otherwise i completely blew it what if ken burns his next documentary series is about podcasts

[25:36]and like the third episode is making fun of rob's hair wouldn't that be the greatest ever

[25:40]there's no way he could make fun of somebody's hair i mean it really if you look at his hair it

[25:46]looks like like a

[25:47]a play-doh thing that you push and then the play-doh comes out of the head and it comes down

[25:51]and then somebody squished it down that's what it looked like like the fact that he would get up and

[25:54]look in a mirror and put on his wig or like whatever he's got on and say that this looks good

[25:58]nobody's gonna think this looks like a helmet that's painted like hair it's just wild to me

[26:03]okay i can't talk about ken burns hair anymore can't do it uh russell rolling going what's going

[26:08]on with you rolling going as you guys know we've we've broken the hundred hundred listener per

[26:12]episode milestone we're really starting to ramp up listening and as

[26:17]you guys know we have a friend who is very high up in the retail world and we've been negotiating

[26:22]with him trying to get some sort of deal with their vinyl person where maybe we can get some

[26:27]sort of sponsorship or even potentially get t-shirts in one of these retail stores we're

[26:32]not going to say it yeah i'm not going to say it because we're still out there we're open for

[26:35]business it's woolworths oh no we've hitched our good burgers it's her burgers we're gonna we're

[26:47]gonna have sears advertisements for microwaves on next week and aaron's gonna have to sit that

[26:51]part of the podcast out we can't even do this because i i used a microwave like no we're not

[26:57]gonna i'm sorry go ahead russell so anyways i i was thinking about this person's retail store and

[27:02]i thought i should go in and check out their vinyl selection because a few weeks ago i was

[27:07]in this store and i saw all the records there's probably 30 records 30 different records there

[27:12]and one of them was all white so i figured oh i bet they've got the white album i'm gonna go

[27:16]into this store i'll buy i'll buy it on vinyl because you can't buy regular records at record

[27:21]stores because they don't have anything good right we've already discussed that they just

[27:25]got crap nobody wants so i went into this major you know retail outlet and i walked the conclusion

[27:31]we came to i don't remember coming to the conclusion it's evident all right asked and

[27:36]answered so i walk into this retail store and i go back to the vinyl section the the herbie man

[27:43]had already been picked over no herbie man but i'm looking and i see the white

[27:46]album so i walk up and i'm gonna go grab it and i pick it up it's chris stapleton oh and i was so

[27:53]pissed i was like how can you take like a famous album like the white album and just rip off the

[28:00]cover and there was like a little writing up there to make it a little different what do you

[28:04]guys think of that is that complete bullshit that other albums out there kind of rip off album

[28:08]covers because i was i was so pissed i stood in that store for like five minutes looking behind

[28:12]every single album trying to find anything to buy because i

[28:16]thought that was going to be what i would purchase it's bullshit but it's also a bullshit

[28:20]move by the beatles to just co-op to the plain album cover with nothing on it anyone like they

[28:26]didn't have an i don't know what i don't even know the story behind this album cover i should

[28:29]and like now no one can just have a plain album cover without ripping off the beatles

[28:33]well chris stapleton did it he pisses me off i refer to chris stapleton's album as the true

[28:39]white album so that's why that i mean i mean let's go through our favorite chris stapleton songs

[28:46]uh aaron you can start first what's your favorite chris stapleton song i think he has one called

[28:50]whiskey it came up yeah that was good this week yeah that's a good time all right no more time

[28:56]we gotta move on no more time rob this is where you have to hit yourself and you have to drop it

[29:00]into the background you're as cool okay fine the whiskey song is playing it is when it's a great

[29:09]it's it's like the perfect mix between country and like folk and like you know kind of like that

[29:15]southern rock it is

[29:16]he's he's a great country and southern rock wow country and western we got both

[29:22]so russell is just mad just russell's just sitting at the record record area mad at the store

[29:30]i spent like five minutes and i looked through every album like peeking behind him thinking

[29:34]there's no way they've got chris stapleton's white album but not the beatles white album right

[29:38]and then i almost courtesy bought an album from this retail store this retail giant and i was

[29:46]like a pearl jam one matt some sort of purple pearl jam album yep i got it and then i decided

[29:51]you know what you know what this isn't a record store i don't have to courtesy buy

[29:56]shit from this store yeah i walked out i purchased nothing i i told you i get nervous in stores i go

[30:03]in for my one purpose they didn't have the album i wanted oh in and out i used to be able to so i i

[30:09]could go in there and buy nothing because they don't have the salt and pepper cashews anymore

[30:13]back when they had salt and pepper cashews that was every time if i went in there and bought nothing

[30:16]and i had to buy them what the fuck it's the only store it's the only store around that has

[30:20]johnsonville turkey brats with cheddar and jalapeno you can't get them anywhere else

[30:26]but at now see now you know so i have to go in there you know and get it and so i mean yeah

[30:32]they've got these few weird things but you know going into get those we have to do it i think this

[30:39]store is also the only store that has old school wwe action figures including bobby the brain heenan

[30:45]suit i don't know who the person like the head of the head of that department is but there's a lot

[30:51]of those there and they're not selling it's just like a hundred of them it's too many way too many

[30:57]who is this guy we overbought the bobby the brain well i i would if you could pick me up some

[31:04]deodorant sometime when you're in there i am still do not have not bought any deodorant yet i have

[31:08]not found any that's not under glass in new york city i don't go to i go to bodegas okay and i go

[31:15]cat's and if you want to buy a muscle okay if you want to buy a muscle milk and you're not quite sure

[31:22]because the the refrigerator section seems to not be cold in the least whatsoever like there is no

[31:29]coolness when you open the door to the refrigerator section you're like how can this possibly still be

[31:33]good to drink rolling going how's it going with you uh so i'll tell you what uh i think uh music

[31:38]mike 76 and i are now best friends on instagram my goal has been to post on instagram every day

[31:43]and guess what music mike posted

[31:45]the cover of the other day they might be giants album and he said hey thinking about my favorite

[31:50]podcast they might be giant and so i talked to him and i said one of the most exciting things i had

[31:54]about moving to new york city is i got to go to more they might be giants concerts because they're

[31:57]located here in new york and they play concerts quite often what do you mean you talked to him

[32:00]was there like a phone conversation we're back and forth on the old instagram we're commenting

[32:05]you don't think he's a dumb shit anymore well let's just put it this way i am still using the

[32:09]official beck did a better account because i still haven't i gotta flesh this guy out before

[32:12]i open him up to my actual personal account he's sliding

[32:15]into the dms yeah so we're so i'm messaging and i said to him uh yeah like i love they might be

[32:21]giants he's like oh yeah when i was in high school i used uh they might be giants quote

[32:25]from their apollo 13 album uh as quotes in all my yearbook when i signed everybody yearbook i

[32:31]signed it with a they might be giants quote and i was like that fucking rules that's awesome i love

[32:36]that idea like that's a great idea as their best friends yeah and i was like that this guy and i

[32:41]literally would have been best friends in high school like my friends and i in high school listen

[32:45]might be giants all the time and i got to thinking about what my senior quote was in the yearbook

[32:49]what what's a senior quote you all had a quote or what yeah didn't you guys have to pick a no we

[32:55]didn't have no what was your quote rob oh boy so this rolling going is going to be a short one on

[32:59]my end i thought this was going to be the conversation builder and it is not i was convinced

[33:03]that my senior quote was going to be the most important thing to me ever so i wanted to catch

[33:07]every single like inside joke i had had in high school and then put the initials of everybody that

[33:13]was important to me and then put like you know i was like i was like i was like i was like i was

[33:15]and i think at the end i put like keep rocking and so instead it's like beef sides with the guys

[33:22]perkins t12 keep on rocking and i'm just it's like nothing right and meanwhile my friend was like

[33:29]climb the slippery pole and it's so much better than my signature so i was going to ask you guys

[33:34]what you did for your senior quote but obviously this is a disaster of a conversation i don't have

[33:38]a senior quote but remember when you would have yearbooks when you were in middle school people

[33:42]would sign yearbooks and some people would write oh

[33:44]russ it was fun being in art class with you have a great summer you write different things

[33:49]and the greatest line ever i ever saw for a yearbook was someone wrote in the the book

[33:55]right in the middle down the binder it said i'm writing on your crack does it tickle yeah you know

[34:00]who did that to me is sam shuts sam put that in the goat yeah the goat there's a robin sam show

[34:09]oh you guys know as soon as i as soon as i convinced the student council to

[34:14]use imagine as our fall uh homecoming theme i checked out after that nothing nothing after that

[34:20]sticks in my mind for high school do you guys have to sign cards at uh at your work or anything

[34:26]like that like birthday cards oh yeah anything oh yeah so there's a guy that came up with just

[34:32]brilliant he just all he does is write make it a great one on every single one because i hate

[34:38]thinking of like oh you know so good to see you have you don't really have a great birthday he

[34:42]just right he just just constantly make it a great one and i'm like oh you know so good to see you

[34:44]make it a great one and that's all he said i thought that was genius you know it would be a

[34:48]baller move matt you get in the card line before him and you steal his line i've tried i tried it

[34:52]because if someone has a line in there you can't you know i've done that i absolutely have done

[35:00]that you should write make it a better one like make it two great ones and then he's just a

[35:04]complete asshole he's only making wishing them a great one and not a better i like the idea that

[35:08]they would pass around a card because like he got fired or something or like you know somebody

[35:11]passed away he's not really looking to see what it is he's like make it a great one

[35:14]rob's far enough removed from corporate america that he thinks we pass around cards when people

[35:21]get fired when someone gets fired no one hears about until after that person has been

[35:25]don't say you never see them like that's not how it works rob they don't let that person

[35:31]hang around for a day after they've been fired so you can give them that would explain why nobody

[35:34]wants to talk to me at my job they all know guys i've made a huge mistake and i just realized it

[35:41]it's not like i didn't record or anything like that i know that's what you're thinking right away

[35:44]is that i screwed up technically but i feel terrible because we did the bex line and i have

[35:49]a sting for it and i totally forgot it and not only that i did not make this sting this is

[35:55]something okay unless it's good well you can bring it back then maybe i helped you can bring

[35:59]it back because you you've been you've called magic mike 69 a dumb a dumb shit for a long time

[36:04]and maybe this is uh no not anymore he's my best friend yeah now you guys are buddies so he's he's

[36:09]moved on he's graduated hey well guess what i'll call magic mike a dumb shit hey

[36:14]magic mike if you're listening to this podcast right now i don't care if you're

[36:17]friends with rob we don't give a crap about your your your facts about this beatles album

[36:23]no music mike 66 is a great follow on instagram get out there and follow my best friend

[36:28]all right so here's the deal uh we have a sting for all of our listeners out there for when you

[36:33]call the bex line now just to tell the guys here this is two minutes and 19 seconds long i might

[36:37]cut it down but i'm gonna tell you right now this is something that matt came up with it's the

[36:43]as applicable and not now, but...

[36:45]If this is Matt just going two minutes

[36:47]and 20 seconds of silence, I'm going to be so

[36:49]impressed. This is my rolling going

[36:51]did not go very well tonight, so instead I'm going to use something

[36:53]Matt made to try to bolster my numbers here.

[36:55]This is

[36:57]going out to our listeners.

[38:48]So that will be converted into five different states.

[38:50]Our listeners are dumb shits.

[38:51]Change my mind.

[38:52]Hey, if they send a really awesome Bex, we'll give them the four-minute version.

[38:55]Right, Rob?

[38:56]That's right.

[38:56]Well, yeah, I'll play it again.

[38:58]I'll put that at the end of the podcast.

[38:59]Yeah, on some cryptocurrency.

[39:01]It's like a top shot.

[39:02]What's funny is I stayed up until about 2 o'clock on Tuesday doing that, you know, because

[39:06]I was having too much fun.

[39:07]So Sarah was like, what were you doing up so late?

[39:11]I go, oh, you got to hear this.

[39:12]You know, like, and so I played it for a long one.

[39:16]She goes, you stayed up till 2 for that?

[39:17]All right.

[39:19]Yeah, that's a great use of your time, she said.

[39:21]So, yeah, I don't know.

[39:23]Why are our Google searches all stuck in dryer?

[39:25]I don't understand.

[39:26]You guys search it and see what it says.

[39:30]Why does it say raw going to give it to you over and over in the search bar?

[39:35]I don't understand.

[39:35]By the way, we did get multiple texts raw going to give it to you.

[39:39]We did not get 10, so I'm not searching that and playing that.

[39:41]All right, let's get into the album today.

[39:45]We're talking about the Beatles, a white album.

[39:47]Here's my three main things about this album.

[39:49]Number one, this album was recorded after they went to India on a Maharishi retreat.

[39:53]And the whole time, I think it's very funny that John Lennon was like, I'm still sad.

[39:58]Like a bunch of his songs are like, I'm very sad about being here.

[40:01]Number two, this album has tons and tons of fighting.

[40:04]Ringo took off for a while.

[40:05]Jeff Emmerich, the engineer, quit.

[40:08]And George Martin, their producer, quit.

[40:10]Number four.

[40:11]This album is full of tons of genre.

[40:13]We got folk.

[40:14]We got blues.

[40:15]Maybe we've got some ska.

[40:17]We've got some avant-garde.

[40:18]What?

[40:19]You don't like that blues song that we got?

[40:21]Let's get into this.

[40:22]Let's get into the music here.

[40:23]Let's go.

[40:23]I mean, yeah.

[40:24]We start with a very cool Beach Boys parody, essentially.

[40:29]I do like this.

[40:30]Because one of the people with them, with the Maharishi in India, was Mike Love.

[40:35]The asshole of the Beach Boys, as he's classically known.

[40:39]And Paul Pruitt.

[40:41]Of course, you're right.

[40:41]He kicked Ringo off the drums.

[40:43]Yeah.

[40:44]They recorded this without Ringo.

[40:47]Because he left during...

[40:48]This was after they had a big argument.

[40:50]They were criticizing his drumming all the time, right?

[40:53]Yeah.

[40:54]And Paul turns out to be a better drummer.

[40:55]He's on this track and the next one.

[40:57]He is.

[40:58]Apparently, this song was big in the USSR.

[41:01]They bootlegged it and would play it all the time.

[41:02]And they thought it was very good.

[41:03]But I want to show you guys.

[41:05]This is actually a parody of a Chuck Berry song.

[41:09]So here's Chuck Berry on Bandstand.

[41:11]Playing Back in the USA, which is a song I've never heard of.

[41:14]Who does parody songs, by the way?

[41:15]Oh, there's parodies out there, Matt.

[41:18]The Beatles and me.

[41:19]So the weird thing about this with Chuck Berry is that he said he originally wanted to title the song

[41:29]more like Back of the Toilet is where I put my camera so I can see you ass, eh?

[41:33]Oh, Jesus.

[41:35]What?

[41:35]Oh, Rob.

[41:37]What?

[41:37]He was in trouble for putting cameras in toilets.

[41:40]That's not me.

[41:40]That's the news.

[41:41]That's also a Google alert I have that every time it comes up, it rings.

[41:46]But, Matt, you were saying you hate that song.

[41:48]Well, it starts off what I think is a great album, and I skip it every time.

[41:53]And it feels like it's just back to kind of like the 1965 bubblegum band kind of Beatles.

[42:00]And I just, you know, it's a parody.

[42:02]They make it fun or whatever.

[42:03]Like, I just don't.

[42:04]It just doesn't do it for me.

[42:06]This was a song I never got before.

[42:08]I've heard it before, but I never was really into it.

[42:10]When I was listening to it, I was like, oh, my God.

[42:11]When I was listening to this album this week, I listened to this over and over.

[42:14]I think it's so amazing.

[42:15]And we've talked about the Beach Boys before, and it felt like they kind of had this a bit

[42:18]of a rivalry, right, where they would go back and forth.

[42:21]There was Pet Sounds, and it wasn't Sgt.

[42:23]Peppers, and Pet Sounds kind of went back to back, right?

[42:25]To me, it feels like they're making fun of the Beach Boys.

[42:28]And I think it's cool.

[42:30]But when you guys talk about parodies, do you know there's other parody albums out there?

[42:34]And one of them is a band called Beatle Talica.

[42:38]Have you guys heard of this?

[42:39]What?

[42:39]It's a Metallica parody band.

[42:41]It's a band that covers Beatles albums.

[42:42]And this is Blackened in the USSR.

[42:45]Check it out.

[42:46]It sounds like war.

[42:54]This sounds like something we would come up with, for sure.

[42:58]I think this is the song we need to figure out, like, who's listening to this album?

[43:03]Me and Music Mike.

[43:06]We're hanging out together.

[43:07]We're listening to that.

[43:07]I should probably take this off the first part of my Bumble intro, but that's all right.

[43:11]You prudence.

[43:13]I'm sorry.

[43:14]I'll take it down to the album, right?

[43:15]A date gets into Russell's car.

[43:17]He's like, hey, check out this music.

[43:19]He puts that on.

[43:20]They're like, the Moscow girls make me scream and shout.

[43:22]He's like, well, really, that's a, you know, it's a mashup between the Beatles and Metallica.

[43:26]By the way, I have this music podcast, and his date just opens the door and jumps out

[43:29]at 45 miles an hour.

[43:30]It's like Aaron talking to Robert Gallery.

[43:35]Hey, I have a podcast.

[43:36]Just nothing.

[43:37]No response whatsoever.

[43:38]I thought this episode was about the ladies who were going to be on the show.

[43:41]I thought this episode was about the ladies who were going to be on the show.

[43:41]I thought this episode was about the ladies who were going to be on the show.

[43:41]I don't think they're going to go out with me, Rob.

[43:42]Not the ones who are going to jump out of my car.

[43:43]That's right.

[43:44]That's right.

[43:44]Well, don't play Metallica for them.

[43:46]I'll just be silent for the next hour.

[43:48]Next up, because this album is very, very, very long.

[43:51]There is a ton of songs on this, so we're going to kind of cruise through these a little

[43:54]bit.

[43:54]We got Dear Prudence.

[43:55]Brought Mia Farrow's sister, Prudence, who was also on the trip with them and who never

[44:00]came out of her room because she was so focused on the meditation, she wanted to stay in and

[44:04]be quiet.

[44:05]What a racket this is, isn't it?

[44:07]To have a meditation retreat where people come and then just, you make them sit in their

[44:10]room and think.

[44:11]Like, although as an adult, I can see why that's popular.

[44:15]I think it's the same reason why so many middle-aged men get into distance sports, where they're

[44:20]like, sweetie, you got to watch the kid.

[44:23]I got to go out today for a six and a half hour run.

[44:25]Just back then, it was like-

[44:27]Long distance biking?

[44:28]Yeah.

[44:28]It's like, I have to go in and do a 10-day meditation in India.

[44:32]I can't possibly watch the kids.

[44:34]I need to be able to focus.

[44:35]It's like, that doesn't make any sense at all.

[44:36]We've got Glass Onion.

[44:41]Headphones are a must on this song, right?

[44:44]Oh, yeah.

[44:45]I would be remiss if I didn't mention that MF Doom sampled this one, but he sampled the

[44:50]end part, which we don't have to play.

[44:52]Thank God you mentioned that.

[44:54]He liked the strings.

[44:55]I can't not talk about MF Doom when there's a chance.

[44:58]So this is one of the ones where they were making fun of the fans who were looking for

[45:01]secret messages, and he's saying, oh, the wall is for Paul, and being very direct about

[45:05]it, which I think is, it kind of shows the fun side of John Lennon, which you don't see

[45:09]a lot of on this album.

[45:10]A lot of this album is John Lennon.

[45:11]John Lennon being very John Lennon.

[45:12]Because he was doing fucking heroin at this point.

[45:14]Like, things were not going great for John.

[45:15]And now, if you want to see why the Beatles almost broke up during this album, picture

[45:21]trying to play this song for about three days.

[45:22]Just over and over.

[45:25]Oh, I can do it.

[45:27]I can listen to this song for three days.

[45:27]I read there was a BBC poll that called this the worst song ever.

[45:32]What?

[45:32]I don't get it.

[45:33]I think the song is so good.

[45:33]It's a fun, it's a jam.

[45:34]It's a total jam.

[45:35]Great song.

[45:37]Oh, I love it.

[45:38]I love the out-of-tune piano.

[45:39]All of it.

[45:39]I can't get enough.

[45:41]But I think this was kind of, they were calling this granny music back in the day, right, Robin?

[45:46]Yeah, specifically John Lennon did, yeah.

[45:48]Lennon called it granny music.

[45:48]But I was reading this excerpt from this book about this song, and he was getting so annoyed

[45:54]with this song, and they were trying to get it right.

[45:55]So he goes out and he smokes some weed or whatever he did.

[45:58]He did some sort of chemicals, and he comes back.

[46:00]And according to this book, he comes up and he's standing up on the top of the stairs

[46:03]and he goes, I'm fucking stoned.

[46:05]I'm more stoned than you guys will ever be.

[46:07]This is how the fucking song should go.

[46:09]And he comes out and he starts banging on the piano.

[46:11]And McCartney looks at him and he goes, let's do it your way then.

[46:16]And that's what you get with the banging on the piano.

[46:18]I thought it was so cool.

[46:19]And it turns out perfect.

[46:20]And he probably had the la-la-las too, right?

[46:22]The la-la-la-la-la-la-la.

[46:24]Yeah, but guys, I mean, it's a fun song to listen to for 30 seconds, for two minutes.

[46:28]But when you were in there for two days, and just every other five minutes, you just hear

[46:32]this.

[46:32]You just be like, oh my God.

[46:34]And they'd be like, no, not good.

[46:35]Stop.

[46:35]Start over.

[46:35]Do you ever turn this song off early?

[46:38]Never.

[46:38]I could listen to this forever.

[46:39]I love it.

[46:41]Every time.

[46:41]I love it.

[46:43]All the way to midnight, huh?

[46:46]Yeah.

[46:46]It sounds like Matt and Rob's stay for Rob being an asshole.

[46:51]This is like the 1980s hockey team.

[46:53]But Russell, you make a good point because, you know, in the intro, we talked a little

[46:57]bit about how this album is about loneliness and being disjointed and them all working

[47:03]alone.

[47:03]And this is, I think, one of the few songs on the album that retains some of the John

[47:11]Uther, which was like clearly out the window at this point.

[47:13]So, Russell, you make a good point.

[47:14]We don't talk about loneliness during this part.

[47:16]We only talk about it on the post-game show.

[47:18]Can we not do that again?

[47:20]Fair.

[47:21]Yeah, I don't know.

[47:22]Three hours of talking about that isn't enough, though.

[47:24]I'm going to have to eat a bunch of honey pies tonight after that.

[47:27]All right, let's go to the next one.

[47:29]See?

[47:30]I don't know, though.

[47:30]When you hear it this many times, it does start to get annoying.

[47:33]Stockholm syndrome.

[47:35]Annoying?

[47:35]It's got you shit.

[47:36]I noticed that they call this a pastiche de ska.

[47:39]It sounds delicious.

[47:40]But it's not.

[47:41]It's not.

[47:41]It's not.

[47:41]It's not.

[47:41]But I realize I don't know what the word pastiche is.

[47:43]I know how to say it.

[47:44]I sound smart.

[47:44]What is it?

[47:45]Just wait.

[47:45]I'll tell you.

[47:46]It's coming up here in Rocky Raccoon.

[47:49]It's a pastiche where they're essentially trying to mimic another art form or another

[47:54]artist, if you will, but in kind of a joking way or a mocking way.

[48:00]And so it's like they're saying, oh, I can play ska, but I'm kind of making fun of it

[48:05]at the same time.

[48:06]And it's cool because they're using the piano for the guitar part, which is interesting.

[48:09]So Rocky Raccoon.

[48:11]And then we come up to that.

[48:12]That's the same thing.

[48:13]They're trying to do that to some folk and country type music.

[48:16]So now explain to me, why do you have to put a 30 second song onto this album?

[48:21]Wild Honey Pie.

[48:21]This song.

[48:23]Because you're the Beatles and you can do whatever the hell you want.

[48:25]I mean, can you imagine being the recording engineer?

[48:28]I would quit during Wild Honey Pie too.

[48:30]I'd be like, okay, goodbye.

[48:30]We have the continuing saga, a story of Bungalow Bill.

[48:34]I've heard a pastiche to this song earlier for sure.

[48:39]Yes.

[48:40]Rob did a pastiche.

[48:41]Pastiche.

[48:41]That sounds so much smarter when I do a pastiche.

[48:44]I almost did a pastiche earlier.

[48:47]I couldn't get home on the subway fast enough.

[48:49]I read that this was one of the first songs where Yoko Ono was doing background vocals.

[48:53]And this is kind of where they start breaking up, right?

[48:55]Can you guys imagine right now if Matt's wife was in here giving Rob feedback on what his

[49:00]jokes should sound like?

[49:01]We wouldn't last two more episodes, would we?

[49:04]No.

[49:04]Listen, first of all, nobody tells me what to do.

[49:08]And second of all, don't tell my wife that I said that.

[49:10]Thank you.

[49:11]But I do have to say, like, I know that Yoko gets blamed for a lot of this stuff, but you

[49:17]just listening to this, like, you get the impression that John really wasn't that much

[49:21]fun to hang out with at this time.

[49:23]John made his own choices, you know.

[49:25]Here we go.

[49:27]We have.

[49:28]So we go.

[49:28]Now, I'm telling you, I do think the first I listen to this album, I don't think I listened

[49:32]to this entire album once.

[49:33]I would sit down and listen to it and I'd get like 45 minutes in.

[49:36]And then I was like, what?

[49:37]I'm halfway through.

[49:38]Like, this is crazy.

[49:38]It's so long.

[49:39]But the front half of this album is.

[49:40]It's absolutely stacked.

[49:42]I mean, to go from Bungalow Will, which I do think is a good song to this.

[49:46]I mean, listen to this.

[49:47]Oh, geez.

[49:48]This run right here.

[49:50]This into.

[49:51]And this is good because we're recording these in stereo now, these songs, and this is going

[49:58]to sound so good.

[49:58]And it's all definitely going to technically work.

[50:01]It's better.

[50:02]It sounds better in stereo.

[50:03]It's true.

[50:04]Now, unfortunately, of course, you know who plays a solo on this?

[50:10]eric clapton said it's badass clapton i can't remember who he dated back in the day eric

[50:16]clapton said to george harrison like i don't know if i want to play a solo on a beatles album like

[50:21]i'm not one of the beatles and he goes this isn't a beatles song this is a george harrison song play

[50:25]the fucking solo he was like okay but i might have sex with your wife later and he's like okay

[50:29]yeah but how did that go didn't they didn't they fully swap it didn't that happen or didn't didn't

[50:37]harrison i don't know because because it was true that he was like hey thanks for letting me do that

[50:42]solo uh he actually gave him the guitar that he did that with and then he said do you mind if i

[50:47]go deep your wife after this and so i like and then he was like strange maybe i'll also jump on

[50:52]the stage and say some super racist shit that'll get buried for years and then like occasionally

[50:56]come back when i do that from time to time in my life not only am i gonna sleep with your wife i'm

[51:00]gonna write the song layla about it so you need to hear about it over and over and over but i guess

[51:06]it's better than like can you imagine if

[51:07]you

[51:07]like somebody slept with your wife and they're like here's a song i wrote about it and you're

[51:11]like really you guys must have had a hell of a time yeah at least it sounds exciting right

[51:17]yeah when i slept with your wife when i slept with your wife it reminded me of this song i'd

[51:21]be like wow there is stuff going on there i can't even imagine clearly i was doing something wrong

[51:27]yeah that was the soundtrack to my online dating life i would be living a much better life than i

[51:32]am right now i know that yeah meanwhile it's like oh i cheated with your wife and this is what it

[51:36]reminded me of it's like yeah

[51:37]this is about it all right so enough of me playing different songs and thinking about cheating on

[51:42]wives uh happiness is a warm gun

[51:46]this is kind of like two songs in one right the first half of the second half

[51:52]this song actually made me think of tupac

[51:57]tupac yeah because he's got the lines later i mean this this became a trope in hip-hop music

[52:05]which i don't think was generally that influenced by the beatles but he has the lines later when he

[52:10]says when i hold you in my arms and my i put my finger on your trigger it it sounds it reminds

[52:15]me of when tupac did me and my girlfriend and his girlfriend was actually his gun and he says i yeah

[52:20]i'm not gonna i love finger you know you and all that but i don't know this one made me think of

[52:25]tupac yeah and then when russ said it's two songs put together aaron was like two tupac done gonna

[52:30]talk about tupac that's actually i would know russell was right i bet i think it's more like

[52:34]three songs put together

[52:35]uh we have martha my dear so we go from we go from john lennon being like here come the

[52:41]grannies there's a gun it's a good like life is a gun i'm in india can you believe i'm at

[52:46]this meditation retreat i'm so sad i want to go home happiness is a warm gun and then

[52:51]paul mccartney's like hey john listen to this song

[52:54]you know what i mean it's like a puppy coming along with like a song i wrote a song for you

[53:04]my favorite

[53:05]part of this song is the tuba we've heard aaron tell us how amazing the jazz flute the glockenspiel

[53:10]is we've talked about the harpsichord we've never talked tuba before have we no we should give the

[53:15]tuba some love so we got to give the tuba some love i'm gonna do the greatest tuba songs ever

[53:21]let's do a list i like it i'm excited

[53:24]i have a list as well

[53:31]we have tuba lists oh

[53:35]i was gonna save that joke to the end and i didn't do it tuba list

[53:39]tuba tuba tuba ock tuba ock is my tuba tuba band so this time i am not dividing up tubas and

[53:51]sousaphones this could include a tuba and a sousaphone normally we get really into the

[53:55]details but the first song on the list is one of aaron's favorite bands i know we've talked a lot

[54:00]about this uh quest love recently but do you guys know the roots have a tuba player named

[54:05]tuba gooding jr and he opens every live concert i've seen it with with with a tuba solo or sousaphone

[54:12]solo check it out i've seen it can you imagine going to a concert hearing this right off the

[54:19]bat badass at first half in minneapolis they they enter from the back of the crowd and they come

[54:24]through i've seen it i got a feeling there's a lot of guys that look like aaron in this concert

[54:29]like if you go to the concert looking to hang out with women it's just guys that look like aaron

[54:33]they're all wearing dark ribbed glasses well i'll tell you what actually going to a they might

[54:37]be giants concert that's exactly what it is it's a bunch of guys that look like me but they have

[54:41]dark glasses the tuba is fun to listen to isn't it like when you can hear somebody really i had

[54:47]a friend growing up whose dad was like a he was like some sort of professional tuba player like

[54:51]on the side i don't know what but he would just be practicing the tube in the house and it rocked

[54:56]because no matter where you were you just hear us oh my god things are happening this is so good

[55:02]it was only while you were walking though right yeah i mean yeah that was the mean part is i'd be

[55:07]walking around you'd be like and i'd stop and he'd stop rob if one instrument was going to

[55:14]play the soundtrack to your life would it be the tuba or not uh yeah it's probably it's either the

[55:19]tuba or insert funny joke here so i'm going to put in a joke later and i think it's going to

[55:24]work really well but the answer is a skin flute

[55:32]good job nailed it well if rob doesn't have the skin flute to seduce people you know what he can

[55:37]do is play this song by leon redbone called seduce check this tuba song out i want to be

[55:43]oh this this is this is me cheating on your wife this is the song

[55:49]he does play that song he does play the song an elf what am i gonna cheat on i'm gonna cheat with

[55:59]my wife oh yeah

[56:02]actually a jazz musician that bob dylan found and mentioned a rolling stone and that's how he

[56:07]kind of became famous as he got mentioned in the rolling stone magazine by bob dylan

[56:11]the next song on the list is the band and i believe this album is on the top 500 list

[56:17]matt maybe you know where it's at this is rag mama rag check out this song check the tuba

[56:22]oh that tuba bangs

[56:29]yeah

[56:32]wow i can see why this tuba rocks one of the coolest things about this song is they left

[56:41]the bass spot open it was going to be a bass guitar they left it open the producer comes in

[56:46]and there's a tuba there but he's never played it before so this is him completely improvising

[56:51]on the tuba on rag mama rag that reminds me when i was in band in high school and we would have a

[56:55]sub we would always just switch instruments we'd all go sit with different instruments

[56:59]and every single time i would you guys are crazy i would go right you guys are crazy

[57:04]rob's play rob's oh man i'm here for this jazz i love these stories 110 pound girl play of the

[57:10]tuba over i'm here for him i would immediately go right back and try to get the crash cymbals

[57:15]you're doing the dance up at the front of the room with the spinning around

[57:20]hit myself in the head fall down the cymbals crushed my head uh no so but then that turned

[57:27]out to be very stressful because it turns out that when you play the crash cymbals you need to play it

[57:30]in exactly the right spot if you're doing the national anthem and you miss it that people are

[57:34]looking at you and the other instrument i would go back and play is just the tuba now of course

[57:38]in our in our pandemic world it does not seem safe to just be going around and like just putting your

[57:43]lips on stuff that other people but god i had so much fun playing the tuba i'd be back there

[57:47]playing the tuba i was like this is what i should have been doing the whole time i'm a tuba guy it's

[57:50]what i should be doing why did i take up that piccolo i mean it made no sense

[57:54]so

[57:54]i'm sorry rob did you really play the piccolo uh no as a trombone i played the trombone i can't

[58:03]believe you didn't remember that story that's hurtful well that's what i thought i mean that

[58:06]you changed the uh sorry russell glenn no next up on the list is a little i'm gonna give you guys a

[58:12]little latin hip-hop here this is playable cafe toto maybe you to check this out this was from

[58:17]oh

[58:23]yes

[58:24]is badass is it not oh i'm shocked aaron hasn't said oh i saw these guys in concert three times

[58:29]oh yeah these guys run the uh green grocer on my street yeah if anyone ever watched the show

[58:39]silicon valley and hbo that's where i heard this song it is so awesome oh it's beautiful

[58:43]all right the last song on the list though is someone i had to give i gave aaron the roots of

[58:48]the beginning and i got to finish with another aaron one here whoa we're going out to oakland

[58:52]this is rafael sadiq the song is called

[58:54]still ray and if you guys remember d'angelo played his his album he recorded brown sugar i

[59:02]believe at rafael sadiq's studio am i correct aaron that's correct yeah and rafael sadiq wrote

[59:08]this song it's called still rain it features the tuba oh wonderful yeah oakland legend

[59:13]this is kind of a sexy tuba song right like if a guy was playing a tuba and having sex with your

[59:22]wife this is what it would sound like

[59:23]russell this is outstanding i'm so happy you found yeah i do have a rafael sadiq concert story

[59:30]which is that i had tickets to his concert and it was canceled that's it that's the whole story but

[59:35]i love that track russell holy shit that was chapter two in aaron's exciting book of stories

[59:40]i mean that again i had to edit out because a lot of us passed out we didn't know what was going on

[59:45]by the end of that story by the 30th song of this album we're gonna get like four or five

[59:49]more chapters i bet so good that i love that i i i do want to circle back to my joke about

[59:54]somebody cheating on your wife while also playing a tuba at the same time just picture that for a

[59:58]little bit like you hear this you're like honey i'm home and you're like oh that's weird she's

[60:02]not around and you walk around you're like wait a minute what's going on that's like

[60:09]you're like hey honey what's going on in here he's just keeping it going at a medium pace there

[60:17]that tuba never gets too fast does it favorite

[60:19]subgenres of movie

[60:20]i mean i've heard of i've heard of brass bands but ass bands i don't know

[60:27]all right let's do i'm so tired now this is john lennon's response to being in india for like a

[60:35]month just hanging out he's miserable yeah i gotta sing a song about being tired not a great look

[60:42]he's like hey we're going to six flags uh we're gonna be there all day we're gonna have a lot of

[60:46]fun and your kid just then decided to be like

[60:49]you're gonna be there all day we're gonna have a lot of fun and your kid just then decided to be

[60:49]like you're gonna be there all day we're gonna have a lot of fun and your kid just then decided to be

[60:49]like you're gonna be there all day we're gonna have a lot of fun and your kid just then decided to be

[60:49]like you're gonna be there all day we're gonna have a lot of fun and your kid just then decided to be

[60:49]a real dick for the whole day i'm mad i want some cotton candy and it's like no you can't have

[60:54]cotton candy it's 9 30 in the morning i'm tired it's like no we are gonna go meditate right now

[61:00]and you're gonna like it john i don't want you i haven't been getting enough sleep my bungalow is

[61:04]too hot i hate india john come on man we're having a good time listen to this song you gotta be mad

[61:11]my dear martha my dear that's granny shit i don't like this i hate india

[61:19]my my mind is on the blink right now i wonder and i thought i should fix myself a drink and

[61:23]share with you guys but no no no it's way too early for russell's drink pairing of the week

[61:28]oh you tease that's good because we only have about 35 songs left on this album

[61:33]all right so then we go from i'm so tired to paul mccartney now playing probably one of the most

[61:41]gorgeous songs of all time blackbird now they claim that the background noise you hear is a

[61:49]but then the engineer came out and said no no no i put something by paul mccartney's shoe

[61:54]that's him tapping his shoe i was like yeah right it's so stripped down and beautiful this is

[61:59]amazing yeah so this song i you know i always thought it was super simple and i started to

[62:05]read about a little bit which is always dangerous but it's uh it's played or it's it's sampled more

[62:11]or less from johan sebastian box and i don't know how to say this rosie might uh yuri in e minor

[62:19]does that sound familiar i don't know but the fury distinguishes the melody and bass notes

[62:24]played simultaneously on the upper and lower strings and so i don't know rob you're the guitar

[62:28]player is that an easy thing to play on the guitar if you play it it sound it sounds really simple but

[62:34]but it sounds like uh mccartney and then harrison were trying to kind of figure that out for a very

[62:40]long time since they were kids and they're kind of finally putting it on the album here yeah that's

[62:45]what i've read about that song is that they practiced that that was kind of like a warm-up

[62:49]that they would do as kids and then they wrote that that's actually the one complicated song i

[62:53]can play on guitar is blackbird and and it's very annoying because every time i pick up a guitar in

[62:58]front of a group of people that like i don't really know but i have to show them like i play blackboard

[63:02]like boom boom boom boom and everybody's like and then for the rest of the time it's like g chord g

[63:08]chord c chord d chord this is the deal with this double album right it's just nobody's saying like

[63:14]no you cannot put this song on it's not very good we go right from blackbird to piggies george

[63:19]harrison i mean can you imagine a song that grates more i just influence with the harpsichord i love

[63:25]this this we've talked about the harpsichord before yeah you like this song oh and i oh it's

[63:30]so much fun and i'm living a piggy life tonight and tonight i'm drinking whistle pig piggyback

[63:35]100 percent right it's aged is it good six years that's high class whiskey rust that's made in

[63:41]vermont oh we would always get that when we were in vermont and it was expensive as hell that

[63:49]it's so good that's good whiskey wrestle there must be a lot of little piggies living out there

[63:53]all right listen this is my favorite ice cream

[63:56]aaron how dare you talk over one of my great segues i can't believe it i know hit it okay i'm

[64:02]gonna do it again and this one's very good bestiche is my favorite ice cream so let's do rocky road

[64:07]raccoon oh that's so good you nailed it nailed it yep so i i don't know why i've always liked

[64:14]this song but i can remember playing like ping pong with my brother listening to the a track of

[64:19]white album and just putting this song on over and over but you know again it comes that back

[64:23]to that pastiche where they're just kind of getting back to the country version of everything

[64:28]and trying to make fun of it but not make fun of it but kind of make fun of it and so i don't know

[64:32]i just think it's just a fun song i'm with you matt and this is where i gotta get sincere for

[64:37]a moment and say that i also listened to this song with my brother a lot so something about it

[64:41]inspires brotherly love i like it matt i also wanted to get sincere and note that there are

[64:49]birds piggies and rocky raccoon back to back to back it's got to be the first time in music

[64:54]history right so nice it's so nice the beatles were thinking about the world in a larger way

[65:00]i'm still thinking about that tuba incident that i talked about earlier but i won't bring it up again

[65:04]all right rob this is happen this we have a ringo totally solo song of ringo uh

[65:15]oh every solo ringo

[65:19]is great right it is and once again once again if you need if you need a karaoke song go to ringo

[65:26]just pick any ringo song you'll be okay if you have to get up in front of a bunch of people

[65:30]i don't understand what's is it an organ in the back what's that sound they're getting i think

[65:34]it's great boy you guys listen to this way more than i did holy cow all the time it's a podcast

[65:43]about listening to music turns out some of the some of the what's under the main host the

[65:49]yeah sub host assistant hosts uh uh here's the deal you go to india you're going on a

[65:56]meditation retreat you see two monkeys deep in the road i mean and you write this song like

[66:03]i know this was aaron aaron you said this is a big song for you growing up right

[66:08]uh i'm you're actually right rob i loved the song growing up i mean i never heard songs about

[66:14]having sex i didn't hear songs like i didn't understand like you know there's a song called

[66:19]sexy sadie we're talking about doing it i mean yeah as an eighth grader when i got this on

[66:24]quadruple cd or whatever i loved it you you texted me about this song last week and i had to explain

[66:28]it to you so i was i was like well that's weird that he doesn't know he's got a kid you know

[66:33]but don't you think that song would be funnier nobody is listening let's do this podcast

[66:38]don't you think it'd be funnier that instead of doing in the road he would have put in dirty words

[66:42]for it like why don't we just deep in the road i think that's a better song you know what i mean

[66:49]you say do it in the road you think we've come up with enough oh yeah filler for the whole song

[66:53]oh yeah uh pump start from the beginning why don't we pump and munch in the road

[66:58]why don't we you know slide the salami in the road like there's so many good ones you could

[67:04]do that's better than just do it in the road and still respectful why don't we whistle pig in the

[67:08]road yeah exactly oh yeah everything you say anything it sounds very dirty all right i will

[67:14]by paul this sounds a lot like when my wife

[67:19]is telling me that i need to want to do the dishes around the house more

[67:22]she's like why aren't the dishes done i was like oh i didn't know and i was like you need to ask

[67:27]me she's like no i shouldn't have to ask you to do the dishes just do it and i always say

[67:30]i always say i will okay i will next time like i'll do the dishes next time don't worry about it

[67:35]and then i do the dishes and then she's like these dishes in the dishwasher aren't clean

[67:39]you shouldn't have to clean the dishes to put them in the dishwasher the dishwasher does the

[67:45]cleaning why do i have to clean the dishes and then put them in the dishwasher it makes no sense

[67:49]wait a minute i hear a tuba going on do you guys hear that

[67:52]aaron what were you saying i'm gonna hire a tuba player for my next online date

[68:00]you're just gonna sit in the corner the corner of the bar i already said it right but i think this uh

[68:06]i don't understand i don't know what it is but this song has some kind of um percussion sound

[68:11]that almost sounds like someone tapping on their knee like gives you that kind of old school feeling

[68:14]like you're sitting on someone's lawn watching them sit on their porch and play some tunes i

[68:18]just love it

[68:19]julia

[68:21]half of what i say is meaningless that's not a great start to a song

[68:28]why am i listening just bringing the energy okay just listen we gotta move on because this next

[68:36]song is the most insane song to ever be put on a famous rock and roll album this song is wild to me

[68:44]that this song exists what first of all it crushed

[68:49]don't you think it crushes all i can think about during this song is like

[68:52]if it's my birthday and i meet somebody else who also has a birthday that day

[68:57]i'm so mad my birthday is my day like this is not like you and i hanging out having birthdays

[69:03]together we're not gonna have a good time i want the birthday for myself i'm super into birthday

[69:08]it doesn't surprise me but i'm so i don't know what it is maybe it's just because i'm getting

[69:11]older maybe it's because i need more ideas for music to listen to in the pandemic i'm super into

[69:16]birthday twins and celebrity birthdays so i can't

[69:19]let this song go by without mentioning that we're recording on february 26th yesterday february 25th

[69:25]was george harrison's birthday and my younger brother's birthday my brother is birthday

[69:30]twins of george harrison and today as we're recording it is johnny cash and erica badu's

[69:35]birthday and i just love that kind of shit and i have to bring it up and you can move on from

[69:38]there but i had to say it at least aaron talked about 50 of the people that are at least alive

[69:43]still i mean it goes for all the dead people but 50 percent's good aaron the only famous person who

[69:49]is my birthday twin is dennis rodman oh there's a guy actually marvelous if he was having his

[69:54]birthday i would celebrate his birthday with him go out to vegas so vegas i don't know many i don't

[69:59]know many celebrities that share my birthday i know madonna is one but have i ever shared you

[70:03]with you guys my theory that i am a reincarnated version of people who died on my birthday i know

[70:08]who died on your birthday but i know one we got to hear this two people died on my birthday it

[70:13]wasn't the same year i was born but at the same day babe ruth and elvis presley so i

[70:19]believe that i got the worst parts of babe ruth and elvis presley

[70:23]i didn't know babe ruth i knew elvis oh that's wow great baseball player who's also like a great

[70:31]musician and they're like they're like the other half they got the they got the good half and i'm

[70:36]gonna die on the toilet one day eating like a ham sandwich or something

[70:39]all right mike trout or someone got the other half and i'm over here right now so apparently

[70:49]in 68 when this was recorded there's a big british blues boom which is very hard to say we got jimmy

[70:54]hendrix we got cream we've got fleawood mac john malone the blues breakers again this is so much

[71:00]funnier when you picture lenin being on a trip to india and he's like i'm tired all the time i'm very

[71:06]tired and then he sings this song while he's on this meditation retreat in india he wrote it there

[71:11]hey do you want to come to the meditation thing yeah just wait i'm ready to song

[71:16]i'm lonely i want to die

[71:19]this is a lot like what my younger one does now when i'm putting her to bed

[71:24]she has this real cool habit now of every night right before she needs to go to bed to keep

[71:29]herself up she will get herself sad about something or get herself angry about something

[71:33]and i know it's going to happen because i'll finish reading the book and i'll say good night

[71:36]sweetie and she's like i want to get a pet rabbit and she knows that i'm going to say no and then

[71:42]she's going to be like fine i hate you and then like go to bed all angry and i'm like what what

[71:46]is going on so i just tell her now like i don't talk about rabbits

[71:49]after 8 p.m and now that makes her mad all right mother nature's son

[71:53]it's a nice song it's tapping again this sounds like a good this is a very pleasant album i will

[72:02]say that it's all these songs are super pleasant to listen to revolution number nine yeah

[72:08]real pleasant 30 songs of pleasantness no honey pie ah just lie back i listen to this

[72:19]i don't have like a two-hour block to go through all these songs so every time i would restart with

[72:22]back in the ussr that's why that's why you always just end up listening to obla de obla da over and

[72:27]over yeah i agree with john all right so this song uh everybody's got something to hide except me and

[72:35]my monkey was recorded at a slow speed and sped up this was uh a saying by the maharishi that he

[72:42]just added and my monkey to the end of it so apparently he would take the maharishi saying

[72:46]and add add my monkey so these guys are going to be like oh my god i'm going to be like oh my god

[72:48]in india they're just fucking around they're like middle school kids just like mess like oh

[72:52]let's meditate very seriously and they're like and my monkey

[72:55]the maharishi would be like so what did you learn from your trip here they're like am i monkey

[73:04]i believe fats domino has covered this which came up in like some spot affair recommendations for

[73:11]me it's really fascinating stuff but when you know that's sped up you can hear it in the song

[73:17]all right so john

[73:18]lennon called a song wrote a song about the maharishi he just changed the name to sexy sadie

[73:22]again just messing around

[73:24]these songs are good i mean you do forget too this is 68 like

[73:33]it sounds so good every sadie i've every sadie i've ever met i've called left swipe

[73:39]sadie they always swipe left on me i've never they've never gone anywhere left swipe sadie

[73:43]maybe their name is pronounced sade and then that's why you're missing out you're not doing

[73:47]that's true

[73:48]uh right you know one of my favorites so this apparently what really showed what is helter

[73:55]skelter apparently the beatles recorded this in the studio and we're just going nuts running around

[74:01]huge long improv at the end of it i remember hearing this in seventh grade at a kid named

[74:07]renown's house and richfield people know who renown is and uh actively like who in the hell

[74:14]is this and he said it's the beatles i had no way like this is like my first introduction to the beatles

[74:18]to the white album was hearing the song of renown's house and just having no idea that the

[74:23]beatles did anything like this you know i didn't know sergeant peppers anyway i just remember them

[74:27]from the bubblegum days and so that i don't know that's a crazy song to me do you know what helter

[74:32]skelter is referring to there when they wrote the song a helter skelter in britain is one of those

[74:37]swirly slides yeah that's why he's talking about going down a slide at the beginning of it so

[74:41]imagine if your friend you were listening to that song and you were like hey this is cool it's the

[74:45]beatles what's it about and your friend was like this is about the impending race war that's going

[74:48]yeah

[74:48]that's exactly what charles manson said about this song they were like here's a song about a slide and

[74:53]charles manson's like hmm yes i do i do hear this stuff about the race war

[74:56]like it's so nuts how could all right we've got long long long

[75:02]they recorded this song for 18 hours straight longest recording session on the whole album

[75:08]they're like hey there's 35 songs on this we'll add this one to just call that out right and it's

[75:14]so interesting because like these songs compared to like revolver or

[75:17]you know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know

[75:18]sergeant pepper there's not much going on studio wise like they're not doing that much creative

[75:23]entertaining stuff that they were then these are more kind of straightforward songs there's

[75:28]multi-track vocals here but yeah a lot of it's more straightforward this is something that tom

[75:32]york might have listened to as a kid that somehow i can hear the line between this and radiohead

[75:37]that's all i'm not gonna i'm not gonna go any further i'm just saying i just think it happened

[75:41]radiohead aaron you're so smart that's a smart thing to say all right revolution number one

[75:45]so slow

[75:48]so what album is the faster version on that everyone knows so let me let me tell you about

[75:54]the commercial rob knows yeah so in britain at the time in the 60s the idea of a single

[76:00]was not to be on the album that's why no beatles singles are actually on their albums they're all

[76:05]released as separate singles so when they wanted they didn't have a single come off this album at

[76:10]all but they released revolution sped up in that version that you're more familiar with as their

[76:15]single and john lennon said no no no i want to release the slower version of the album

[76:18]and everybody basically told him like you are insane we cannot do that nobody's gonna

[76:22]play a song where you constantly like even now when you hear that you think it's going to be

[76:26]playing faster so there's my history for you so i know a lot about music too thank you you should

[76:31]be a teacher here's a song that john lennon referred to as beyond redemption

[76:36]oh i love this song oh no

[76:45]honey

[76:47]honey

[76:48]i think about this song a lot also because this is aaron's food corner uh there used to be a place

[76:55]in oakland called kroner kroner burger chris kroner i think he's moved to la he makes one this is our

[77:00]second mention of chris kroner in two weeks wait i've never mentioned chris kroner before come on

[77:05]now have i uh hey you're gonna you're gonna owe an apology i've heard you reference him i think

[77:11]last week you ate a cronut maybe that's what you were talking about hey is he famous for making

[77:15]amazing burgers that also does pop-up restaurants that you went to

[77:18]for valentine's day oh you got me there russell you got me shit you listen to the podcast who

[77:25]does all our edits on our show like all i want to say is that he had a great pastry chef i don't

[77:30]know her last name but apparently her name was uh i think betty and she made a honey pie and that was

[77:36]the best dessert i've had in my whole life it was a it was it was a honey pie and that's what i had

[77:42]for dessert anytime i went to kroner and so now i always think about the song and the pie and that's

[77:47]a it's a you know

[77:48]bygone days why do you why do you think about the pie on this song but not wild honey pie like the

[77:53]fact we've talked about the fact that there are two songs about honey pies is kind of ridiculous

[77:59]right yeah agree a honey pie sounds super gross to me like i'm picturing just a big thing of honey

[78:05]with some whipped cream on top you put your fork in you can barely move it there's also another

[78:10]person out there that's done songs about honey and that's beck you guys got to check out this song

[78:15]beck no money no honey oh

[78:18]so this was on one of his first albums ever and i just think it's terrible

[78:24]and at first i was gonna say when it comes to making terrible songs about honey

[78:31]beck does it better than the beatles because that first wicked honey pie song is so

[78:35]terrible but then this other honey pie song is so good it's so confusing so what i'll say is

[78:41]when it comes to making albums with one song about honey on them who does it better beck did it better

[78:48]all right so let's get into so we're about halfway through the album we're gonna pause

[78:56]i gotta go eat some truffles here so savoy truffle this is another george harrison song

[79:01]this was named this because it was one of eric clapton's favorite candy so again more insult

[79:06]injury hey you like this candy yeah you know what else does your wife when i deep

[79:12]her he's eating cream tangerines while there's a tuba playing in the background while he's eating cream tangerines

[79:18]quote unquote as rob would say deep dick his wife yeah i layla to her on the bed and deep

[79:24]what do you think about that all right i'm gonna have to bleep on this out on this episode

[79:30]no i'm not bleeping that forget it that's what i said you are no you are 100 yeah that has to be

[79:37]bleeped we'll see we'll see about that cry baby cry

[79:43]this sounds like sergeant pepper throwback right

[79:48]in terms of sound yeah it's got a harmonium in the background oh that's why that's also a radio

[79:56]thing so this is more john lennon being happy in india

[80:00]having a great time

[80:03]i do i do feel like i'm coming off a little negative about the album i do enjoy this album

[80:09]i think it's fun but i the idea of him being so sad on vacation is so funny to me especially

[80:14]as a parent i just can't get enough of it you're paul mccartney

[80:18]you get a plane ticket you head out of town you're on vacation for a week you come back and ask the

[80:25]band hey everybody what's up what'd you record and they're like oh god we put together this great

[80:30]song it's like eight minutes long check this out this is more abrasive than aaron's audio on our

[80:39]first podcast i've listened to this whole thing many times in my life when i am too

[80:47]yeah right

[80:48]you're like you study it you just keep picking up on other little things and yeah

[80:52]do you guys enjoy it or not no i mean enjoy it like what like would you go buy it no but like

[80:59]it's on the album so you kind of just listen to what they put together i don't know right

[81:02]i always figured this is the ultimate we are so famous we can literally take the shit on the stage

[81:07]and people have to eat it i will say i think there is something to be said of like if you think of

[81:12]this as like an art piece but instead of a paintbrush they're using audio clips i do think

[81:16]it's an interesting thing but i think it's an interesting thing i think it's an interesting thing

[81:18]i also think the idea that he was so mad at obla d and then he puts this on the album i do think

[81:23]that's very funny as well and then finally we have a lenin lullaby that he wrote for his son

[81:31]and he begged ringo to please sing it for him we have good night now it's like a disney song yeah

[81:38]and so i'm going to tell you a fun little story over top of this uh when uh julian is lenin's son

[81:44]from the other mother who's not yoko uh when he turned 21 he

[81:48]got 50 000 pounds which you can imagine at the time is not much if you are the son of

[81:55]john let up some of those piggies in that bacon and so he was also supposed to get a dividend from

[82:00]the lenin like setup foundation and yoko ono famously in the 80s mailed him a check for one

[82:05]dollar which was not great so they at the time they were worth 235 million dollars so this was

[82:12]kind of and i think this is a good way to think about ending this album instead of you know so

[82:17]much now online we see people

[82:18]you know fucking their stepmom this is really the stepmom fucking the kids like this is a whole

[82:23]switch around so that's the white hour for you i think that's good i didn't listen to that song

[82:28]by the way before this super clean episode everyone what would happen if rob were like

[82:34]we're gonna make a dirty podcast oh i want to oh my god if i could if i didn't have russell keep

[82:41]saying no no no you got to bleep out that out every time you guys should hear i'm just saying

[82:46]i'm not even saying everything i think

[82:48]you're not oh no i hold a lot of it in my mom would always say that to us growing up she's like

[82:56]you think i tell you a lot of negative things about you now you should see what i'm thinking

[82:59]we're like oh thanks mom that's great

[83:01]i was embarrassed when my mom made fun of me for wearing the white jean shirt and the white pants

[83:08]i can't imagine what else she held back from me now

[83:11]i just pictured you in that outfit again and it brings me so much joy i don't even know how i was

[83:18]supposed to do it i don't even know how i was supposed to do it i don't even know how i was

[83:18]so guys should we go to a retreat to india to do some meditation i think that'd be fun right like

[83:24]hell yes yep especially i'd be like i gotta go three weeks we gotta do it the kids are here

[83:29]i'm gonna come back i'm gonna be a much better person and i'm just there is there some like

[83:34]indian temple in las vegas we could just go that's a good idea that's what i'm trying to

[83:39]holler at the taj mahal is that a casino all right let's get into everybody's favorite by far by far

[83:46]away it's everybody's in fact it's

[83:48]so good that it's the rating is in the sting

[83:52]and again longer it should be long time for everybody's favorite part of the show so good

[83:59]that the rating is in the state back did it better rating system the stereo is gonna make

[84:06]that pop you guys hear that back did it better sounds better in stereo yeah oh it's gonna be

[84:12]so good you're gonna hear the left and the right and the left and the right and i'm not gonna do

[84:16]that in post by the way too much work all right what if when you're

[84:18]hey the best is gonna be when rob's saying the left and the right the left and the right if it's

[84:22]people got the wrong headphones and it's going the right and the left the right and the left

[84:26]i went on a walk today and my headphones were so quiet and i was like oh these are not very good

[84:31]and i came back and i realized i'd put them in the wrong ears and i was like oh boy

[84:35]good friday all right so we've got where does this this is in a few weeks this is 29 on the list do

[84:42]we think this is a rolling well toned that means it should be 29 it's the 29th greatest album of

[84:47]all time rolling stone oh chef's kiss you did a great job we love you rolling stone every decision

[84:52]you make is so so good is this album get rolling boned meaning it's too low on the list okay it

[84:58]should be a higher number but that's not really true it shouldn't be a higher number it should

[85:02]actually be a lower number on this list so it should be one through 28 smaller well i don't

[85:09]know about smaller because i would think number one is the greatest album therefore the biggest

[85:13]the word greatest also means biggest so this is kind of the more minimal you need to get bigger

[85:17]than one you go to two or is this smaller than two you go to one grown okay i'm going to record

[85:22]this once and just play it i think i think that's the best way to do it that's a great idea is this

[85:25]a rolling grown meaning this is too high on the list it should be 30 31 32 that idea is rolling

[85:31]33 34 35 could be 36 it could be 37 there's so many other albums 38 39 40 and in fact we go all

[85:38]the way to 500 so just think about this guys when we double what we've done so far we're going to be

[85:42]all the way up to album 58 we're going to be a tenth of the way through

[85:47]my god i quit over under if we get to 100 we're so uh the rating system is very clear and played

[85:54]out what do you think matt what do you think of this album uh you know if for anybody who

[85:59]had to suffer through uh episode zero or whatever you know you know that the white album is one of

[86:05]my top four albums of all time and i would not recommend please don't tell your friends to go

[86:10]listen to one of the first few um no album or uh episodes of this podcast start them off it's like

[86:16]it's like looking back at what how how you like dated when you first started dating i think the

[86:22]first girl i dated i told her i loved her within two days like i did the opposite of every other

[86:25]guy where they're like i really i really i think i'm falling in like with you like i like you and

[86:29]shit and i like you a lot and i think about you all the time it was literally like two days i was

[86:33]like i love you and she was like what and i was like oh wait what no wonder the last seven first

[86:38]dates i took to white castle haven't been going well i should have never told him i love you

[86:41]if it's going bad just say i love you that's a great desperation move i find so okay so i haven't

[86:46]thought about that in about four years so that's something i could talk to my therapist about

[86:49]awesome that's good i'm glad you're in therapy rob oh no actually you guys are also my therapist

[86:54]so that's oh yeah after the post i'm gonna tell you some more stories yeah so i i'll uh you know

[86:59]i think this is rolling boned i think this should be way higher on the list i think this is a top

[87:04]10 album of all time and uh yeah i i will continue to listen to this album forever i think it's great

[87:11]uh well you only have to listen to it about three more times to get to forever so

[87:16]it's very long uh russ what did you think of this album is it rolling well toned and that

[87:22]means it's okay rolling bone it's too low or rolling grown too high what do you think

[87:26]i thoroughly enjoyed the album as you guys know i wasn't a huge beatles fan before we started this

[87:32]and this might have been the type of album where i texted you the first time i'm like i can't

[87:35]understand these crazy songs and that's when i said beck might do crazy songs better but i thoroughly

[87:41]enjoyed this album it's it's really hard to rank this when they've got 30 something songs right

[87:46]you take just the best half oh it's clearly the greatest album ever right i think so yeah if you

[87:50]if you cut this down to eight songs greatest album of all time easily but when i was listening to it

[87:57]i counted at least 14 songs that i think would be the best song and at least four albums we've

[88:02]listened to so i think this is by far the most rolling boned album ever i think it definitely

[88:08]should be in the top five the only reason i wouldn't put it up in that one to two range is

[88:13]you can't do two honey songs and the revolution

[88:16]number nine is too crazy for me so i'm not going to say it's got to be one or two

[88:19]but this is so rolling boned the fact that this is this low on the list makes me think the whole

[88:25]list should be invalidated there's no reason this should be this low on the list uh aaron what do

[88:30]you think of what do you think this should be rated i'm having a real conflicted moment guys

[88:38]rolling well toned okay so let me explain it rolling well he's conflicted over by the way i

[88:45]am going to actually

[88:45]shut up for a second aaron i do want to point out this really is the album where we got the title of

[88:50]our podcast from because russ literally texted us one day is like i think middling songs beck does

[88:55]better than the beatles and we said that is the dumbest thing we've ever heard and that kind of

[89:01]is a good formation for the podcast where literally we just played a song of four minutes long of me

[89:05]calling our listeners dumb shit so it all comes around in the end it turns out our podcast is

[89:10]actually very smart things get said just like matt this album was a huge success for me i think

[89:15]it was a huge part of my youth i i think i started my beatles phase around seventh or eighth grade

[89:20]i i've listened to this album so many times in my life and then i've returned to it over the last

[89:24]month or so and there are i i think um it's been clear as we've talked that there are songs that

[89:30]i just can't help but think about and they're these are songs that are always in my head or

[89:34]on my shoulder in my life um but as i've listened to the album this last week i've found myself

[89:40]thinking it's kind of long and it has some tracks that i don't really like and i don't really like

[89:45]love and i don't know that i'm uh i'm i don't know that i'm as enthralled with it as i maybe

[89:50]once was so i i don't like saying this but i'm i'm gonna call it a rolling groan i just don't

[89:55]know if as an album it really stands up by the way i don't know if the whole is as great as the

[90:02]sum of his parts in my life is not on this album that was a different beatles album so it's true

[90:07]it's not so got you there who's the music of genius now it's me all right i'm gonna give this

[90:13]my life was on this album did i

[90:15]my god would you just listen to when you talk i think you talk and don't i think like you have

[90:19]like a it's a one-way thing like you can talk or listen but you're gonna listen actually you're

[90:24]not gonna listen back so i don't know why i'm saying you're gonna listen back and say that

[90:27]so here's the deal this gets a rolling why a double album i don't know

[90:32]if you had this song and it was many songs two of them and it was obla de obla da it was back to the

[90:39]ussr like three times and then blackbird and you know all the other and and there's some great

[90:44]songs in here and it's a very

[90:45]pleasant album but it should be it should be cutting a third i think it would be just the

[90:49]strongest album of all time as long as they don't cut that piggy song that's gonna stay and if you

[90:54]want a short album this next one is for you we got 30 on the list is this guys this album jimmy

[91:01]hendrix are you experienced this is my wu-tang this is the first cd i've ever owned i know every

[91:07]note of every song of this album i know every lyricism i when i started to play bass when i

[91:14]started to play bass on it it's oh my god then maybe you can talk a little bit more on the next

[91:18]album we'll get a chance to hear from rob yeah guys i'm gonna next album i'm gonna finally say

[91:24]what i'm thinking okay i'm not gonna hold anything back so i think that's gonna be really good uh so

[91:30]that's it for us talking about the white album and that's it for us on here on beck did it better

[91:36]when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time
