Beyonce: Lemonade (2016) (... an episode so good it will take you to Red Lobster)

[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided 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

[03:01]he's like i was there by myself

[03:03]i remember old country buffet on a like a wednesday night they would have uh banana splits like they

[03:15]would just have bananas set up by the soft serve machine and i thought it was just the best thing

[03:19]in the world of all time i just i was so happy uh my life sucks now i'm going to therapy all right

[03:24]i've got russ

[03:25]possible what's i have an i have an ex-aunt-in-law who referred to it as the old

[03:34]i'm sorry i didn't i i didn't want to say it

[03:43]that might be a better callback joke than banana from the week or two

[03:50]no i am not saying old up i in fact i gotta commute it out i gotta bleep it out

[03:55]every time i'm not saying i'm not saying that after the song today at the end i refuse we're

[04:00]gonna come up with a better joke don't do it jesus you have to think that over the old country

[04:05]buffets throughout the country that at some point like the neon lights went out and at one point in

[04:09]the history of the world that's what the neon lights said right yeah russell drives it he's

[04:15]like oh wait a minute uh my mom wants when we were going to old country we wanted to go to

[04:21]old country buffet when we were younger my mom says that we can't go i'm wearing regular pants

[04:24]and not stretch pants and i'm like oh my god i'm not going to go to old country buffet when we're

[04:25]every other person there

[04:26]so all right i've got russ russ said he did it once once so well that his date split the bill

[04:35]with him at fudruckers russell in minnesota how are you doing russell yeah we got those big one

[04:39]pound burgers at fudruckers it was awesome and she didn't pay for half rob speaking of your

[04:45]opening your opening song ten times out of nine when my friends say they listen to the podcast

[04:49]i know they're lying but nine times out of ten i know they're trying i went on genius's

[04:55]week so i actually know what songs that's from so i've got our attention i've got to figure it out

[04:59]it's not just wait wait wait i thought you guys were just gonna let me go go through this process

[05:04]and act like i was super cool and super tricky with lyrics but it turns out oh did i just uncover

[05:09]what you do yeah detective rob you could delete that that's why i've got all those secret cameras

[05:14]set up because i'm a detective all right i've got aaron in california aaron said he did it so good

[05:20]he that he went by himself to a mcdonald's drive-thru although it made sense because when he did it

[05:25]so good he was sitting in his car by himself in the drive-thru in the first place so

[05:28]i i did used to go to the mcdonald's drive-thru by myself uh and crank it and crank it stop there

[05:37]before i went to midnight movies at the uptown theater also by myself so the jokes the jokes

[05:42]continue to write themselves i'm great thanks for having me here best sir best movie ever saw at the

[05:46]uptown theater at midnight daisy confused yeah i was probably there we were probably at the exact

[05:52]same time what makes the uptown theater so good

[05:55]theater at midnight something different do they play old movies or what yeah they play old movies

[05:59]so i think i think i saw eric for me in prayer i think we saw the godfather there once and i'm

[06:04]trying to think there's other there was just they always played great i saw hoop dreams for the first

[06:08]time there when that came out things like that it's just it's a it was awesome i also saw thirst

[06:13]which was a uh korean um modern vampire movie by park chan wook so they played yeah foreign film

[06:20]stuff that didn't usually get into the theaters and then the old stuff excuse me excuse me wait a

[06:25]second i got this takes i'm sorry i'm so not used to this this early in the podcast i haven't even

[06:30]gotten through the introduction you're doing a great job of keeping this thing uh yeah

[06:34]we are committed this week by the way to having the shortest episode yet it is already in trouble

[06:40]i have not yet gotten through all four intros by the way when aaron went through the drive-thru

[06:44]afterwards the woman looked at him and said oh i see you have a soft serve already uh and me i'm

[06:49]rob in new york uh i don't know my wife is currently at red lobster with her powerlifting coach she's

[06:55]been there for three years and she's been there for three years and she's been there for three years

[06:55]but i think it's okay i don't think it's a big deal now you're good don't worry

[06:59]he texted me something about all you can eat special so

[07:03]do you like by the way that i jenny's i bailed on that i bailed on that almost like to the point

[07:10]where i'm like how can i edit this so it's not says it's not like my powerlifting coach is

[07:13]on my wife um uh by the way i did eat that second pokeball so that was last night this is three days

[07:19]later after our last record i did hammer that second pokeball and guess what worth it listens

[07:24]i have to do something

[07:25]that i don't like to do but i've had to do it now two weeks in a row and i've got to start

[07:30]off with an apology and now an apology from beck did it better i'd like to take this chance to

[07:35]apologize to absolutely nobody beck does it better we can talk over this this is so long

[07:42]are you going to apologize for roping us into this podcast over the last six months and wasting

[07:48]our lives or not or is this like a big time listen guys we've only got 468 of these left until we're

[07:55]into the list so i think this is fine this is not a big deal what are we going to do yeah i mean what

[07:59]music am i going to listen to when i'm not listening to one cd obsessively every week for

[08:02]the rest of my life i don't know so last week we were doing uh or actually two days ago we were

[08:07]doing miles davis and before we started i told aaron i said aaron if i make a mistake please

[08:11]correct me you need to correct me you need to correct me you need to correct me and uh what

[08:16]aaron didn't count on is that i don't listen to aaron when he talks during the podcast so it's

[08:19]very hard for him to actually correct me here's a clip of me making a terrible mistake this is

[08:23]second one of the podcast

[08:25]now the the uh the album last week was called kind of blue now let's see if you can hear the

[08:30]mistake i made we are all the way up to album 31 this is miles davis kind of cool now guys i was

[08:38]i know you guys listening to the jimmy hendrix episode okay well here no you got to listen to

[08:44]you got to listen to how i just steamroll you guys though when you try to come all the way up

[08:48]to album 31 this is miles davis kind of cool now guys i was listening to the um i know you guys

[08:55]don't do this but i was listening so both of you said something first of all i noticed russ

[08:59]auspiciously didn't say anything both of you said something and at the whole time i was saying i was

[09:03]listening i was listening not listening to anybody they said nope and unfortunately that leads us

[09:08]into our and by the way i knew you were going to say something there so i am now talking over you

[09:11]once again i am going that takes us into our next segment which is the beck did a better spanking of

[09:18]the week whoa someone was a bad little boy at least better get some red lobstron to give you

[09:25]the discipline you crave it's time for the official beck did it better spanking of the week

[09:31]by the way i did download all those sounds out here all right so get ready to get spanked boys

[09:42]because what the fuck i asked you guys to correct me if i got something wrong and you didn't say

[09:47]anything right away we tried no but you gotta stop me like i told you you had one job not to

[09:55]as the main host and us over here as three ringos do you think that we've got any chance of stopping

[10:00]you at all because we've tried we're 31 32 into this adventure is there any chance of us slowing

[10:06]you down rob no once i once i start reading my notes i'm not thinking about anything else except

[10:11]trying to get through my notes without screwing up and it's never ever worked so my my favorite

[10:16]point of the podcast for rob steamrolls us is i would say at least one to two times a podcast

[10:22]it's typically me sometimes aaron

[10:25]we'll have a really clever transition to the next song and rob will hear it think about it just be

[10:31]like nope not happening i'm going my i'm going my own route and he just keeps going and then every

[10:37]time we all start laughing but rob just keeps going and it makes it even funnier so rob i

[10:41]appreciate that you carve your own road and you don't take that take the the beaten path okay

[10:47]aaron i'm not really spanking so you can you can put your put your pants down like

[10:50]and your heart is a rock i don't get what's going on this is weird

[10:55]i don't understand this at all uh just kidding i'm gonna spank you so russ your apology does not

[11:02]affect your spanking russ this is spank for you this is spank for you yeah because you didn't

[11:08]you didn't help me either aaron this is for you i didn't think that both of you would fit into that

[11:13]tent as easily as you did tonight wait what's this one oh this one sounds like a bit and

[11:18]this is aaron he's just a bit harder listen so here's the deal by the way no promises of a clean

[11:25]episode tonight maybe you guys at least at least at least rosie's not stuck in that dryer again

[11:29]yeah this also is going to take us into our see he doesn't hear he goes right over our jokes

[11:35]he just he went right by it it's his joke and he went right by it

[11:40]all right stop for his own joke okay what were you gonna say man i'm sorry i'll i'll i'll we'll

[11:46]stop no no no no no no it's gone it's gone it's beyond us we're we're past it i did hear it though

[11:53]something in a dryer i do think that's very bad i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry

[11:55]all right i was chuckling to myself editing the last one about somebody beat a dryer repair person

[12:00]i was i was trying to edit out something and they had a dryer repair person to joke at the end i was

[12:04]like oh can't edit this whole section out well too bad all right so this is going to lead us

[12:08]our spanking of the week also leads us into the countdown of the week

[12:11]listen here's the deal russell sent us a text this week and he said that he went on a date

[12:19]with a woman who did not like crumbs on her feet did not own a microwave and hung her shirts

[12:25]up in the air and guess what russell for not talking about on last week's podcast

[12:30]this is an official spanking of the week you also get spanked and this is also your

[12:34]discipline you crave it's time for the official beck did it better spanking of the week

[12:42]i don't know why the boat horn is in there by the way i think that might be some latent thing

[12:50]i have messed up where i hear a boat horn and i get very scared uh so russell you went on a date

[12:55]with the female erin i i did typically i don't like to tell anything about my my dates on the

[13:02]podcast unless it's something from really really long ago where i know it can never come back to

[13:06]haunt me i know she will never listen to it and i don't think it's right to like put stuff out there

[13:11]with someone that i could potentially be seeing so i did go out on a date and i did meet the female

[13:17]erin i texted you guys that i had forgotten to bring it up in the last podcast but essentially

[13:22]we were sitting there we're having a really good conversation back and forth and at one point i

[13:25]talked about how she was very kind of tidy very always cleaning up after her house and that

[13:30]she would she couldn't stand walking on crumbs and i and i immediately started like chuckling i was

[13:37]like how often this has never come up in my life other than two times it's erin and this woman on

[13:43]the date so i started kind of laughing to myself and thinking wow there's there's more people out

[13:48]there and when she was talking about it it makes sense i wouldn't want to walk on crumbs either

[13:52]it's just not something that comes up on a general basis on

[13:55]at my house you must be more tidy than i i thought she was at your house and she's like oh i don't

[14:01]like walking on crumbs and you're like oh so weird i shouldn't have left them all out there like that

[14:07]but then with the conversation kept going and at one point rob what was the second thing i said

[14:14]that she was like erin for uh she did not have a microwave oh yeah she she brought up that she

[14:18]had moved into a new house and she did not have a microwave and immediately so i start chuckling

[14:23]to myself again

[14:25]and i asked her i'm like is it some sort of free i kind of ask her is it you don't like

[14:32]the potential side effects i know rob says there's no side effects in this but no she goes she goes

[14:38]no i'm just dumb as shit like i don't get what's going on i don't understand the modern world

[14:42]i'm scared when a car starts i get nervous by that so i asked that planes fly because of magic

[14:49]i don't understand she kind of said no and then i thought well maybe is this a

[14:55]you you want to connect with your food because i feel like when you listen to erin erin wants to

[14:59]connect with his food he wants it to be more of a intimate process as he prepares things as opposed

[15:05]to just throwing in the microwave and she said uh kind of a little bit but not really and then

[15:09]she eventually said i just didn't have enough room in my house so she wasn't completely oh my god

[15:14]she's got a small house too oh holy shit tiny house she's like i barely have room in the tent

[15:20]in my garage and so this was the second time where this kept coming up and i was like oh my god i don't

[15:25]and i kept saying oh my buddy on the podcast and this was immediately probably the reason i got

[15:29]rejected afterwards but but so and then a few minutes later she was talking about we were kind

[15:35]of going back and forth and joking about like pet peeves or kind of quirks or something just

[15:39]having a fun conversation and she said i always have to hang up all my clothes and i was like

[15:43]what what and i thought she was talking about hanging up wet clothes but it turns out

[15:48]she was just saying i hang up all my clothes t-shirts and everything so she doesn't dry them

[15:53]she uses a normal dryer and she doesn't dry them she uses a normal dryer and she doesn't dry them

[15:55]she's not a complete imbecile like aaron when it comes to using modern technology but did she have

[16:00]those weird hanger humps in the shoulders of her t-shirt then like when she you know when she took

[16:05]off her blazer at the end of the night aaron are you asking about her hangers of the shirt come on

[16:10]are you asking about her hangers and her humps i mean come on i'm talking about on the shoulders

[16:14]yeah you're asking if she has heavy hangers oh come on gross remind me to not ask any of my

[16:20]dates about their lovely lady humps as they just put it there that yeah but so

[16:25]this is why i was in the mcdonald's drive-thru alone so literally there was three times where

[16:30]i had to tell her this is too i i'm your you sound like my buddy aaron here and then eventually i

[16:37]thought it went well turns out it did not went well so we will not be going out again so typically

[16:41]i would save this for over the one year period the statute of limitations to say anything but

[16:45]rob if you're gonna spank me over it i'll just get it out of the way now oh you're not gonna save it

[16:52]for album 85 on the list yeah

[16:55]yes oh wait i have a film of aaron in the drive-thru too all right so here's the thing

[17:00]uh yeah yeah that is an erotic story russ yes would we all like to date the female aaron

[17:06]yes okay aaron go put it aaron go put a wig on i just want to see something real quick

[17:11]um it's off the rails already

[17:15]all the way off the rails which that but that leads me to this question which one of us would

[17:21]you guys marry okay um

[17:25]and why and why is it mad you know what i mean like objectively i cannot be the answer because

[17:31]plenty of people have passed on that over the last four years isn't it all aaron isn't it aaron

[17:36]no just across the board no i would marry mad i think i but i think russell you might be a second

[17:40]i think we could hang out we could have fun i think aaron might have the most intensity to

[17:47]marry him but i think he's got a smaller window of women who it would work for right

[17:51]no i'm talking about us marrying oh if i had to marry one of you guys yeah we have to marry one

[17:57]of us russell and why is it rob you you wouldn't listen to me when i would make jokes you would

[18:01]just plow ahead with your own thing so rob i would have to kick you out yeah but russell i'm so strong

[18:06]you're a lot let's wrestle your ass down to the bed oh my god you wouldn't stand a chance think

[18:12]about that you keep like gyrating in your chair over there this is making me incredibly uncomfortable

[18:16]well this chair with no pants on is incredibly comfortable

[18:18]i don't know

[18:19]what the deal is

[18:20]what are you looking back at

[18:22]i just that's how big it is you guys remember ever remember playing the game like do dump or

[18:28]marry fuck marry kill whatever you play it so maybe maybe that's the real game if i were going

[18:33]to play that right now okay i think i would have to dump rob i couldn't handle him spanking me all

[18:38]the time um i might have to oh jeez i don't know if i can play the rest of this game i just know

[18:47]i gotta dump rob i can't handle this no i'm just asking who you'd marry okay man who would you marry

[18:50]no this now i told you guys at the beginning i said you can't say no to me when i say things

[18:55]i'm definitely dumping rock no actually you know what rob and i this is not who we're dumping we're

[18:59]just marrying somebody guys come on no we're gonna dump rob first oh this is a positive you guys are

[19:04]you guys are falling into the marge trap we did you and i did take that test with you know like

[19:08]you we were playing that uh game where you had all that food up the one time and we both were like

[19:12]nachos beer and a pretzel at a game we're both like milk duds popcorn and a soda yeah so i think

[19:19]we we would we would match up well if we just had to you know strictly on groceries and what we're

[19:24]eating when we're out so okay thank you matt for picking me aaron who would you pick uh russell

[19:29]russell's been one of my day i've been down with russell for over 20 years okay well guess what i

[19:34]guess we paired off it's me and matt and russell and aaron yeah i mean that's it there you go but

[19:39]aaron i'm glad we got this figured out aaron what's up how you doing you know this whole that's

[19:43]what this whole album is about you know what i mean like pair up and immediately i cheat aaron we

[19:48]can we can try this

[19:49]baking thing if you want to try it out i'm not i'm not precluding the possibility that we can be

[19:54]into that type of oh all right so man we will see later if we're heading to red lobster later uh so

[20:02]that joke is just it's not funny to anybody yet but it'll be funny in a little i think it's oh i

[20:09]think that was a meme already i think everybody knows it on this album yeah beyonce says if you

[20:15]fuck me good i'll take you to red lobster if you fuck me good i'll fly you in my chopper and i was

[20:19]like what that

[20:19]those are not the two same things like i would much rather go to red lobster

[20:23]flying in a chopper is terrifying yeah it's scary when those things bank hard right you think you're

[20:28]it's scary i would toss my chesapeake bay biscuits that i've been eating uh so i've got uh rolling

[20:34]going uh matt how's it going with you uh good uh you know i don't know if anything too exciting

[20:39]good to hear it sweetie unless thanks dear listen to the communication you guys have already this

[20:45]is fantastic that must be that must be difficult for you

[20:49]you know you're talking over me so you know it's kind of par for the course with rob but you know

[20:54]you guys talk about me talking over you guys like that's because i'm a teacher right and so normally

[20:58]i'm talking to like 15 20 kids and they're always talking i got to talk over everybody all the time

[21:02]hey rob do you have do you have a uh do you have a line that you use like for the is it like you

[21:07]know two claps you know everybody look at me if i really want to get the kids attention

[21:11]yeah i walk into a room and i say excuse me who wrote this swear word and every single

[21:19]middle school boy looks at me because they want to see a swear word more than anything else in the

[21:23]world and i say who wrote the swear word and they look at me and i go okay now that i have your

[21:28]attention what do you guys want for lunch today you know i've got these different sandwiches or

[21:31]i will also if i'm showing a movie wait wait wait stop stop i'm showing them

[21:35]wait you serve lunch are you the lunch lady or are you a science teacher well okay so maybe you

[21:41]guys don't realize there's a pandemic there's a pandemic going on joe slap slap joe i know erin

[21:49]keeps calling it scamdemic and he's got some thoughts about mass that i won't get into now

[21:52]but there is something going on called a pandemic meanwhile i'm teaching a school where the kids

[21:57]have to still go to school because otherwise the parents would flip their shit and so we all have

[22:01]lunch together in a room which is not normal and so what they have is that every day they bring up

[22:06]three different types of sandwiches and these sandwiches are placed outside the room

[22:09]and so they get to pick the sandwiches so i don't actually bring in the sandwiches although i do

[22:14]the hour before of course they have a snack so i walk around with a snack tray it's humiliating

[22:19]i told him too i was like this is not lady yeah so i went in you told us your teacher what's on

[22:23]what's on the snack tray oh my god so the snack tray has talking about food you know i need the

[22:27]details pound cake lorna dune like uh i've had too many pound cakes over the years too many pounds

[22:34]uh what else uh pound cake sounds like something you get at red lobster uh uh after red lobster

[22:40]they have um nutrient bars and then like these terrible granola bars and then they also have

[22:48]these terrible granola bars and then they also have these terrible granola bars and then they also

[22:51]have these terrible granola bars and then they also have these terrible granola bars and then they also

[22:52]pick the oreos right away so i'm like well i guess this is what you get they're just eating oreos then

[22:55]they wonder why they can't sit still during my class also when i show a movie in my class

[22:59]i'll say to the kids like um wait wait stop stop stop stop so you you're the lunch lady and you

[23:06]also show movies so it sounds like you're a cafeteria worker and a substitute teacher not

[23:11]a science teacher is that correct uh no i'm a science listen listen school is so boring school

[23:17]is so boring classes are an hour long it is boring as hell you're there you have them for an hour and

[23:22]you show a movie oh i at least one i'm usually two like i'm like youtube clips teaching with

[23:27]youtube now it's so easy it's like i'm like ken burns in there i'm putting together clips i'm

[23:32]making it fun you know you got a similar haircut it looks like too huh well that's part of my role

[23:40]so and then i'll tell the kids like kids just let you know this movie there's a little bit of nudity

[23:45]try to get by it and they'll watch this whole like animation about dna replication

[23:50]that's brilliant they're like there's no nudity i was like oh yeah okay sorry about that

[23:55]my teaching style is not that different from me hosting this podcast

[24:00]it really isn't like it's not it's kind of why i asked i wanted it i wanted to know if you're

[24:05]like using some of these tricks on us oh yeah try to get this thing to move along but even though

[24:09]we're already at like 28 minutes and we're supposed to be at 22 right now according to

[24:13]the script that you sent out yeah this class is an hour long i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god

[24:15]we got time the other thing is that i had a kid on zoom the other day say i wasn't funny

[24:19]on the zoom call and he was one of these kids that are at home and he goes well you're not

[24:22]very funny and so i just went boop and i put him in the waiting room for like two minutes he just

[24:25]sat in the waiting room being good to be in the class it was so satisfied it was like everything

[24:29]i wanted so am i like a clown to you ha ha do i make you laugh is that what you said waiting room

[24:35]uh rosie rolling going how's it going with you it's going great i had a really i had a culinary

[24:41]a culinary breakthrough this evening i i don't like culinary says that we've been doing this for

[24:45]i love it i love it i don't want to overstate my achievements here because i bought a pre-made

[24:51]pizza dough so i i bought a ball of dough right so i didn't make the dough myself but every time

[24:57]it is pie day by the way for those of us who are oh those of us 3.1428 we're recording on pie day

[25:05]today so i wanted to make a pizza pie for dinner and i i bought a ball of dough and usually this

[25:11]turns out to be a disaster it turns out to me saying like oh yeah i'm just gonna make a nice

[25:15]homemade pizza it's not it's it's low stress jenny's a coach just texted me and told me that

[25:20]it's pie day twos but i know

[25:22]red lobster and pie in one day

[25:33]was it pie before red lobster or after red i don't know this is questionable i'm so sorry

[25:40]aaron you're i i had to get that joke out it's always better to do you know do that before and

[25:45]then good

[25:45]at dinner after it's much more relaxing yeah yeah so i have kids usually uh i buy a ball of pizza

[25:54]dough i think i'm gonna make a nice homemade pizza and then i just fuck it up a ton of different ways

[26:00]i end up with like a weirdo pizza crust that i put a hole in somehow and i have to like i try

[26:05]to re-stretch it and it's messed up but tonight i kept the interventions minimal i ended up with

[26:11]a nearly circular pie with very few

[26:15]thin spots in it baked that thing in our new toaster oven it was a pretty decent

[26:21]home-cooked pizza i felt really good about that so that's where i'm really going i i made pizza

[26:26]at home and i did not fuck it up this time where did you get the dough from well i ordered it from

[26:31]the grocery delivery service so it was from a place called full belly farm try try this next

[26:37]time go call up your local pizza place and say i just want to i just want a ball of dough can i get

[26:42]a ball of dough for me what the fuck they'll do it for you they just got to sit back there they'll

[26:45]sell it to you for a buck or two and it's way better than any of that grocery stuff so try that

[26:50]i think you just changed my life because i i've made homemade pizzas a ton and to the point where

[26:55]anytime i make a homemade pizza now my kids just start making fun of me immediately when i announce

[27:01]it they're like they're like oh my god you remember this one because every room yeah every

[27:05]exactly stick them in the waiting room every one of my pizzas comes out looking like pangea i don't

[27:10]know what it is but like i can never get the shape and then it's like all the cheese and pepperoni are

[27:15]on one side like it is and it's like for some reason the dough is thicker in some parts and

[27:19]others and then doesn't get cooked and it's always just an absolute disaster i mean it's so

[27:23]supposed to be so easy and relaxing and like nice fun family do you guys pull coals do you guys pull

[27:28]coals in the uh in the crust before you put it in no what see i should have called you matt i should

[27:34]have gotten out on the zoom before i matt you used to own a pizza restaurant franchise correct i did

[27:39]i did so what what was the biggest key to have to running a successful pizza place what well

[27:44]i only had it for like two years so i don't know if you it's probably the key to the front door

[27:48]yeah no but like i mean there's just little thing like if you don't perforate the crust right then

[27:56]you get big bubbles so you gotta poke hole you know like pizza shops got these roller things

[28:00]you'll hear them rolling you know you gotta poke it with like a knife or a fork or something just go

[28:05]and that'll get that but seriously rob yeah just go say hey can i just get a ball of dough you

[28:11]know and they probably won't even charge you for it you say hey i order from here all the time can i

[28:14]get a ball of dough i just want to try to make one at home and see what happens now if i go into the

[28:18]pizza place here on uh on the island where i live and i have a ski mask on and i yell give me all

[28:23]your dough do you think i'm gonna get in trouble for that no you'll be fine just hosh and tony play

[28:29]they won't even know what's going on rich neighborhood that you live in they'll just

[28:32]wonder like what's this guy doing just don't bring that spanking paddle in there with you

[28:36]rob and you'll be just fine yeah all right it's always at the ready i got that ready already i'll

[28:41]tell you what matt that was a pretty smart thing to say i think that is smart

[28:44]that was matt's smart comment of the week how to make pizza that's some smart shit how to make pizza

[28:50]yeah rob rolling going how's it going with you i'll tell you what uh rolling going with me and

[28:56]i gotta pull up my notes because i totally forgot uh so rolling going okay so here's the deal i we

[29:00]are recording this podcast a little bit early partially because i have uh some lifting stuff

[29:04]coming up but partially because i'm going down what the fuck is that do you guys hear that

[29:10]yes we hear it

[29:12]spodyodydopalicious

[29:12]spodyody

[29:13]podcast

[29:18]you telling us to shut up

[29:20]what the fuck did you just say to me when i turned on the music it's like i turned on the music you're

[29:24]like oh damn damn

[29:26]i'd rather listen to that rob anyway let's let's just listen

[29:30]okay so not only is that rude but it's also the same exact joke i was just about to make so that's

[29:36]just just repeat it we can delete erin out but it does it does make me think that maybe erin and i

[29:43]have a little bit of a connection

[29:44]so let's think about that so here's the deal erin you committed to me here you committed to me here

[29:49]don't don't start flirting with rob on this this podcast no don't do it uh oh it's hot in here i

[29:55]don't know about you guys if i have to release a release a an album like beyonce did calling you

[30:00]out for cheating on me erin go smash some cars it's so good yeah uh so here's the deal is that

[30:06]i'm going down in a couple weeks to visit my parents so my wife and i are both vaccinated

[30:10]my parents are vaccinated i have not seen my parents since last summer

[30:13]we're going down to florida to visit my parents and i have been thinking about it for a while i'm

[30:18]super excited bringing the kids down uh we were thinking about disney which i i was really excited

[30:22]because i thought that'd be some great podcast content but they're not selling the fast passes

[30:26]right now and i am not waiting in line okay uh that is not what capitalism is all about it's

[30:31]about me paid to go past other people um awesome so i am going down to florida and i was thinking

[30:37]to myself i'm like i am so excited to see my parents i am worried that i'm gonna like literally

[30:41]just start crying my eyes out when i see them because i just i just i just i just i just i just

[30:43]it's just been you know it's been hard on me or whatever yeah that's natural did you just laugh

[30:47]at that erin did you just laugh wait no it was it was me it was me i laughed i laughed i couldn't

[30:54]help but i lost your job as your professional therapist right isn't that true it didn't go so

[31:01]well it's about the only thing that's gone more poorly than my dating life was my job as a

[31:07]therapist when i would laugh at people with this they were gonna cry about it so no you're right to

[31:13]laugh at me uh but here's the deal is that i was like i'm so you know just like i said i'm so

[31:18]excited to go see him and i did i went and got my haircut this weekend uh it was long and now i have

[31:23]like pretty much i said to the guy hey can you make me look as alt right as possible so i got

[31:27]the skin fade with kind of the short on top into the faux hawk i definitely look like i'm about to

[31:32]grab some tiki torches and start walking around and i had a zoom call with some extended family

[31:38]today to see my sister's uh new baby and everything and i got on and my mom

[31:43]immediately goes oh your haircut oh no i wonder if it's going to grow out by the time you come

[31:48]so that whole thing where i was going to cry when i saw him i realized that absolutely nothing has

[31:55]changed since i was 12 years old my life is still exactly the same like i was like okay well i am

[32:03]excited to see you too i guess like rob where where did you go get your haircut do you go to

[32:08]you go to like a barber a stylist what's your what where do you get your haircut so i went into i

[32:13]dropped my kid off and she had some art class or something up on the upper east side and so i had

[32:17]an hour so i went and i found on yelp i found a barber because i still have not found a barber

[32:21]in new york that i like for a while jenny's stylist was coming to our house and cutting all of our

[32:25]hair on american and and he's great and i love adam i think he's great and he you know and but

[32:32]the thing is is that jenny would not show me what she was paying and i realized that that's really

[32:38]really bad because she he was charging me what he would charge jenny and then charging the girls what

[32:42]he charged jenny and i was like this is i mean literally i think one time he came over it was

[32:47]like twelve hundred dollars like that's not an exaggeration because like she got a color and then

[32:53]you know he took her to red lobster i was like i don't that is way too financially responsible

[32:58]your your guy's marriage could be going down the tubes here if aaron keeps flirting with you we

[33:02]might have to do a an old switcheroo if this keeps up listen if your wife's if your wife's

[33:07]spending too much money on shit is cool call me miles davis wait is this the

[33:12]right episode for that hey way to poach my line from last week so i go into this random barber

[33:16]shop and my problem is in new york every single barber i've had is always some guy who uh is just

[33:23]more interested in speaking to the other barbers in the place than they are talking to me and you

[33:27]know me i want to be talked well i want people to listen to me talk that's what i really want

[33:32]and so i walk in and there's a middle school boy getting his haircut with the mom in the chair next

[33:37]to him and the mom goes i don't like the way you're cutting the hair you're pulling it back

[33:40]and i don't like how you're cutting it like this and

[33:42]show him the back does does he like the back and the boy was so embarrassed i don't know if

[33:45]he's a mom or mom mom should not mom should not be allowed in a barber shop with a young man or

[33:50]i i remember matt i know maybe you have gone to barber shop too but i've gone to the same barber

[33:55]since i was about seven years old so it's 30 plus years it at one point was like five or six old

[34:01]dudes over time people have left people have died but there's still the three guys that were there

[34:06]30 plus years ago and i go in they know who i am there's kind of like an unwritten that's what i

[34:12]there's an there's kind of an understanding that hey i know i've been coming here a long time you

[34:17]know it we're going to talk about the twins we're going to talk about a few things but we don't want

[34:21]to know anything more about each other's lives other than the basic we're going to talk about

[34:25]sports we're going to talk about the weather we're going to make the small talk but i love going to

[34:30]the old school barber shop i've been going forever but matt do you ever go to the an old school barber

[34:35]shop yeah and but my barber now is i don't know he's 42 or 43 but the bought a shop from a guy who

[34:42]wanted for like 45 years um and anybody who goes to a stylist and not a barber is just un-american

[34:51]it is just it is like one of those things as a human being as a male you you have to go to a bar

[34:59]you have to have a barber cut your hair and you have to have like the straight razor

[35:03]you know to line you up and you've got to have the guy you know you've got to have the other guys

[35:08]like you're talking about russell around you know to be talking about whatever and there's always some

[35:12]crazy dude in there who's just talking about the new gun he got stuff like that and he's then you

[35:16]just you figure out that you're you're a normal person and you hear all the crazy stuff in the

[35:21]barber shop and it is a spot to hang out but to go to like a fantastic sam's or something like that

[35:27]and i'm probably offending somebody and i apologize but you know somebody's sister

[35:31]somebody works at one but to go to something like that and pay any amount of money to have some

[35:38]somebody who's trained in dying hair or cutting women's hair cut your

[35:41]hair is just un-american absolutely un-american i have a funny barbershop story but matt but rob

[35:47]you might be oh no no no no aaron anytime you say you have a funny story i can't fucking wait

[35:51]i'll tell you what i the other day my wife was trying to go to sleep i told her that glasses

[35:55]story we just got back up we're like we can't even go to sleep now we're loving this story so much

[36:00]i woke up the kids i went in their room i woke them up and go you gotta listen to the story

[36:03]and you know what they did they thanked me they thanked me for waking them up

[36:06]they fucking love that shit my my barbershop story

[36:11]chapter two aaron's funny stories yeah i so i i've been doing i've been cutting my own hair

[36:17]now for about 20 years but as a as a bald balding you know oh you're not balding you're bald yeah

[36:25]i'm bald so i just started cutting my hair a long time ago and i think this i'm gonna try to tell

[36:30]this in a not offensive way um good i think there's a lot you're you're my spouse on this

[36:36]this episode so if you embarrass yourself you embarrass me okay so just keep that in mind i feel

[36:41]that so i think there's a there's a lot about this album uh the the lemonade album for everyone to

[36:49]love and uh similar to things i said about lauren hill there's a lot that's universal about what

[36:55]beyonce is talking about but there is a lot in fact most of what she's talking about that's

[37:00]specific to black people and even more specific to black women and this relates to my barbershop

[37:05]story which is when i started i was gonna say this funny story is off to a great start when i

[37:10]started cutting my hair bald i was like i'm gonna cut my hair bald i'm gonna cut my hair bald i'm

[37:11]shaving it i thought i was i thought oh you know i was living in minneapolis i thought well

[37:16]who does the best bald haircuts the black barbershops right so maybe i should go a bald

[37:24]haircut is that what you call it a bald haircut yeah a bald you know shaving the head whatever

[37:29]you would call it when you go in when you go into the barbershop they say oh point to the

[37:33]picture you want you just point to like a clean spot on the floor like what are you talking like

[37:37]been there for 20 years now so i thought who knows how to do bald heads better than

[37:41]a black barbershop because that's what they they do for their clients who prefer that right

[37:45]so i went to a black barbershop and they treated me so nicely they didn't look at me like what in

[37:52]the hell is this guy doing in here which they should have because i was in a place where i

[37:56]should not have been and i just thought like oh i'm here to pay for a haircut like any other

[38:00]paying customer like of course i'm just gonna like he's green yeah right they treated me very

[38:05]nicely the guy who cut my hair was fine uh with me he seemed to treat me okay i was so nervous

[38:11]that i was sweating profusely so he kept trying to cool me off so he could cut my hair all i wanted

[38:16]was a bald haircut and then there's a remix of the you guys remember the jadakiss song why

[38:22]if you don't it's okay i guess what it's playing of course i remember it it's playing in the

[38:28]background right now there's a line i would sing i want the lyrics to line it up but i can't recall

[38:34]them and so the guy who was cutting my hair was very cool with me as you know i'm sure he wasn't

[38:40]people pumped me to be there but he's very nice but there's a line in this jadakiss song that that

[38:45]i'm not going to quote it exactly but it it discusses um why some black people have light

[38:51]skin and what that has to do with how they were treated by white people during times when they

[38:59]were enslaved and the man who was not cutting my hair was looking me dead in the eyes during this

[39:05]verse and i realized immediately that while i was in there being as respectful as i

[39:10]could they were treating me respectfully that that was not my place to be and i have not been

[39:15]back to a barber shop since because i just now i just cut my own hair boy that sounds that sounds

[39:20]bad aaron but at least i mean you you do kind of have just have to look at him be like oh i am part

[39:25]of the problem here like yes i acknowledge i'm the problem like it was a learning experience for

[39:29]sure i've not been back that's terrifying and guess what aaron you were right that story funny

[39:34]as shit holy cow get in here aaron if i would have known you had this funny story i would have buried

[39:40]a long time ago i would not have waited till tonight's episode holy shit chapter two ends

[39:44]with a bang i mean i spent the last six months wondering if it would be rob mad or you and i

[39:50]chose you and i would have it wouldn't have even been a choice now listen i would have heard this

[39:54]every time i add a tag on one of these stories i end up editing it out but i just want to say i

[39:58]did go to a barber in vermont once and i walked in and there was a woman who also walked in right

[40:04]after me and the barber turned her and goes hey everybody this is the baker next door she's got

[40:08]the best buns in town and i was like yep i'm in the right place i'm in the right place i'm in the

[40:10]place this is perfect there you go this guy is going to be canceled about two years better get

[40:14]my haircut soon yeah there's two things about the barber you know there's the there is the old

[40:18]school barbers and russell maybe you've got it the guy who's literally he's trying to he's on a timer

[40:23]10 minutes you're in you're out no matter what so even if you even if he's taken forever you know

[40:28]he's finishing your haircut in 10 minutes right you're out you know so that's kind of the old

[40:32]school way and it's the old military cuts and all that you got to get away from those guys

[40:36]you get rob he looks like somebody really faded you up real nice

[40:40]took some time i mean that that's a slick looking i don't know about your mustache though did he

[40:44]did he hit your mustache i didn't have time because i had to get i had to go grab my kid

[40:48]after the hour and that mom and the son took up so much time i couldn't have a time for a

[40:52]for a touch you're mentioning the mustache have you guys ever gotten like the the shave at the

[40:57]barber the the hot shave or whatever you call it i have never gotten one of those i used to do it

[41:01]all the time and after about the fifth time i did it i realized i hate it every time i do it i hate

[41:06]it because i'm so ticklish that when they get a straight razor and they

[41:10]get by my chin i mean here's me doing the ultimate you know and you guys looking at me you know i'm a

[41:15]man like i'm a man's man there's just like i mean check this out look at look at the size of this

[41:19]thing so here's the thing is that wait no no just wait it's a big ear wait a minute wait a minute

[41:23]wait a minute okay wait no no wait okay no wait i'm just i'm okay well listen i'll show you later

[41:29]it's gonna sometimes this happens but here's the thing is that i when i when i get that shave right

[41:34]i like it would start to tickle under my neck and i would go i would be like

[41:40]so here's the guy shaving i'm like and i just couldn't do it and now since the thing i turned

[41:45]mad onto this the double-sided razor i get just as good of a shave at home i like it so it sounds

[41:50]like when rob used to get excited at the dentist and he would have to leave in an uncomfortable

[41:53]manner put him on the glass uh so man last thing uh i know that uh you you have what's a good way

[42:03]for me to say this you were probably respectful to women when you were younger and so you had you had

[42:09]two sons instead of me i have two daughters because of choices that i made when i was younger

[42:13]and things i've said that have now come back to haunt me call that karma yeah exactly karma has

[42:17]given me two daughters have you taken your sons to this barber or is that a dad only space nope

[42:23]they go we take them in and uh eddie the younger one has decided he's growing his hair out so we

[42:29]got actually went got a couple headbands for him today so oh he's going what does the barber think

[42:33]about that does he like what a hippie freak you know one of those guys i mean no gumballs for you

[42:39]have been hit hard by covid and so i mean i feel horrible for places like that oh yeah it's like

[42:45]literally you got 100 customers one week and you're down to 10 right so that'd be horrible

[42:49]so no but no leo eddie was four months old six months old and got his first haircut and got cut

[42:55]by this barber and leo's been going ever since yeah well leo leo was there like probably day

[43:00]one i remember the baby pictures from that kid he was like he had a big he was like a troll

[43:03]yeah he was pretty good so no so we you know they both go and yeah and i've and i make

[43:09]sure to tell them that you know you go to barbers i don't do a lot of that uh you know masculine man

[43:15]thing like oh you gotta don't wear pink and think you know stuff like the only about the only thing

[43:20]i do is make sure that they know that they got to go to a barber that's about it to all those

[43:25]parents out there say hi to your new dad that was a parenting tip from matt oh yeah i always think

[43:33]the coolest things about the barbers and what was when people would have like funny names from like

[43:37]it's the butcher like they

[43:39]would always have like your brother or whatever would always call him the butcher they would

[43:43]always have like a funny name where you know you're going to go in they're going to mess up

[43:46]your hair but it just is what it is and you go back again the next week see what's the what's

[43:51]the difference between a good and a bad haircut what about three days your hair just grows out

[43:56]and it's fine you know it's all good so don't worry about it all right so that is it for this

[44:03]uh listen we are on to the three things this part of the podcast that nobody likes all right so

[44:09]we're talking today about uh 2016s i love how i'm looking at the three things and rob literally has

[44:14]four things he claims it's three and there are four bullet points well yeah no i did three things

[44:20]it's just a catchy phrase you can't it's the real it's the rule of three and then the rob's rule of

[44:24]three where there's one i could i could never put up with this dishonesty there's a reason you and

[44:28]matter matt's much more forgiving than i am there's a reason you guys belong together well you know

[44:33]that's the way it is rolls right off this rolls right uh so here's the deal is that this album

[44:37]when it came out in 2000 it was

[44:38]2016 right guys i'm not gonna have to issue another apology you're correct yeah this came

[44:42]out her her album before that beyonce was a straight surprise album they dropped that just

[44:47]out of the middle of nowhere videos and everything it was huge uh and this one was kind of a semi

[44:52]surprise album because they had announced on hbo they were doing something called lemonade so every

[44:56]everybody knew beyonce was up to something but this album came out as kind of a huge surprise

[45:03]and what was really surprising and if you were going to get into this album you have to go find

[45:08]lemonade music video but it's not a video it's like a movie it's what do they call it a visual

[45:13]album a visual album you don't realize how brilliant beyonce is and i know we've talked

[45:20]about it before that oh beyonce has all these other people working on it it's not just her

[45:23]i don't care she is the queen she is in charge of this boss when you watch this

[45:28]visual album you really you get so much more out of this because yeah there are songs on

[45:33]the album that touch that touch on infidelity obviously and they're touching on uh the

[45:38]black female experience in the united states but when you watch the video of it you realize like

[45:43]she is coming hard on this whole thing and it is incredible to watch and you realize how brilliant

[45:48]she is uh but that's how she released this and then she released the single formation the day

[45:55]before this is how baller she is the day before she was singing that song in the super bowl and

[46:00]the day after she announced her tour like it's just an incredible setup for an album to think

[46:06]about somebody like you know the beach boys doing something like that or the beatles like it's just

[46:10]so crazy she's kind of mastered this new era of music with no mtv like what do you do when there's

[46:16]no mtv to get your stuff played you just you bring it like beyonce does and if you look on

[46:20]wikipedia my second point is that her writing process the second song on this album i think

[46:25]has a dozen writers and apparently what happened uh is that like father misty father john misty was

[46:31]talking about it she would literally just send an idea and then he would send back his idea and then

[46:36]she would be like yep i like this i don't like this i'm going to change this and so she's a very

[46:39]collaborative author which is why we see so many people working on this but again i think listening

[46:44]to this album you have a very strong vision of what she sees and then of course the themes of

[46:48]this album i mean obviously we're talking about jay-z's uh very bad decision to cheat on her and

[46:54]then she makes a whole album about it and i know it's a tired joke but just the idea of jay-z having

[46:59]to not only hear her make this album be part of the visual album and then put this on his own title

[47:04]to make money off of it and then she's like yeah i like this i don't like this i don't like this i'm

[47:06]it's just such an odd thing of like him having to hear about this over and over and over and really

[47:11]and what you don't hear as much on the album but you do see on the visual album is really she's

[47:15]talking about the intersectionality of being a black woman in the u.s and how they're really

[47:19]some of the most oppressed people in the entire thing and i think it is kind of a jump start of

[47:24]where we're going to see her next albums like homecoming uh and like what's the one that she's

[47:28]where the grammys are tonight uh black is king yeah black is king with the with black parade on

[47:33]there i i it's it's kind of the we're looking into the future of beyonce in this album as well

[47:39]and the last thing is my my three point my 3.5 russell my 3.5 point is that i this album really

[47:46]remind me of kanye's that's the album that this brings to mind the most it's just different songs

[47:50]the one we listen to dark twisted beautiful yeah because it's like you you hear kind of the same

[47:58]like there's these vast differences in the songs i think the lyrics the clever lyrics remind me of

[48:02]it as well and guys i'm i'm gonna tell you what this this album it's a it's a banger straight up

[48:07]and let's talk about it we got pray you catch me as the first one yeah this whole thing is just a

[48:17]an absolute beast i think one thing that i'm struck by i watched the visual album last night

[48:23]for the first time ever and i was absolutely blown away by the the imagery and the story she put

[48:31]together

[48:32]um i think it's notable that a lot of this takes out takes place outside in nature in the visual

[48:38]album and so she's she's reclaiming so many things that had been taken away in her culture and and

[48:45]to reclaim being outside and doing the outdoors is is just a small piece of what i think was taken

[48:51]from from people like her and it's just an incredible statement the whole thing and for

[48:56]those of you that don't know i mean this album really is about jay-z especially the first part

[49:02]of jay-z cheating on her so for example the opening lines of this album you can taste the

[49:06]dishonesty it's all over your breath as you pass it off for being so cavalier you're just like whoa

[49:11]here we go this is this is like when you come home and they're like we need to talk about something

[49:15]you're like whoa no red lobster for me tonight see you guys later if this if this song was

[49:21]written by my future ex-wife it would definitely be about i could i could smell the the white castle

[49:25]on your breath

[49:26]baby i brought you your own crave case

[49:32]please forgive me uh second song i gotta say it's it's generic but i think it's my favorite

[49:38]song on the album hold up it rips a little calypso slash reggae is this what you say

[49:43]yeah there's a lot of island island influence on the whole album which actually

[49:49]yeah to me it harkens back again to lauren hill because she was also pulling from the

[49:55]influence and i i think it's sort of part of beyonce's makeup but but she's like prince

[50:01]she's just

[50:02]pulling in influences from all over this song is so good and there's a writing credit on this

[50:10]one for the aas for the song maps because she's essentially interpolating their song i know and

[50:15]i could not hear it i love that song and i could not hear it anywhere in here i have to it's mostly

[50:19]just the lyrics because in maps she says wait they don't love you like i love you wait and i'm gonna

[50:25]play that song under this right now oh that's gonna be a mess wait a minute i will say this

[50:29]song is all about her being jealous i

[50:32]don't know maybe it's just my wife but she has never ever shown me any sort of jealousy like

[50:39]never once have i come back in and she's like where were you who are you with like she could

[50:42]she was like like she's like wait are you still here i get that more often like oh what are you

[50:47]doing here what am i one of the things i noticed on this is the lyric there's a few lyrics in here

[50:52]let's imagine for a moment that you never made a name for yourself there's a few more lines

[50:56]would they be down to ride no essentially saying if you weren't famous these other women wouldn't

[51:00]be into you but isn't it fair to say hey beyonce probably wouldn't be into you either if you

[51:06]weren't super famous is that kind of i thought that was kind of strange what did you guys think

[51:10]like are you saying that one of us couldn't date beyonce yeah wait a minute i mean i've i've swiped

[51:17]right on her about 8 000 times but it hasn't worked for me yet i don't know what the deal is

[51:23]can you even imagine what it would be like to date beyonce like in different circles right

[51:28]i mean apparently the rumor is this

[51:30]she has a documentary team following her around all the time filming her and that she has all any

[51:36]picture of herself in a climate controlled thing in her house now whether or not that stuff is true

[51:42]i don't know but just the lifestyle would just be so absolutely different like like like you would

[51:48]not you would be you would not be making homemade pizzas i can tell you that right now if you're at

[51:52]beyonce rob if you were in in the photograph room and you were riding your peloton and it was just

[51:58]getting too hot in there like an alarm went off yeah they had to have a picture of you and you

[52:00]asking leave it would be a disaster yeah i i would i would the idea of me dating beyonce and

[52:06]beat on a peloton like with my shirt off and she comes in she's like oh no hey but you would still

[52:11]be down to ride like she said yeah she does so much of this visual album just looks like sweat

[52:16]like the whole thing is just sweaty and i mean not all of their parts where it's not but it

[52:20]it just makes you feel like you're in the south and you're sweating yeah i would listen to an

[52:24]entire album of beyonce rapping in the patois that she does on this on this one verse on here she has

[52:30]she's so versatile and she only raps one time on this record and this is i would listen to a whole

[52:35]album of it i love i i that song was it's incredible i had a friend carrie who when this

[52:40]album came out she goes you got to listen to this album it's so good and i was like oh okay and of

[52:43]course i never did and i'm like shoot i wish i would have god i would be would i be cool probably

[52:47]all right next up don't hurt yourself and this is with jack white sure why not

[52:53]by the way this was nominated for a grammy for best rock performance

[53:00]but there's still that caribbean influence here right with the reggae kind of steel drums

[53:11]led zeppelin drums any rock song that has you can watch my fat ass twist boy

[53:17]sign me up i'm down this is what i'm talking about

[53:19]sometimes i just kind of like the beyonce ballads a little more sometimes these i think i consider

[53:28]this kind of like an over-engineered song there's so much going on it almost distorts like how

[53:33]beautiful or and powerful her voice is sometimes i enjoyed the ballads more than some of the more

[53:38]engineered or i don't know if you call musical whatever you want to call them there's so much

[53:42]going on with some of these songs that i enjoyed the ballads a little bit more yeah but it's pretty

[53:47]i mean if you would say like there's a couple songs in here i was like oh this is a beyonce

[53:50]song like rock and roll country like it sure that's very true crazy i hear that though russell

[53:55]also because we grew up with her her first album

[53:58]came out in 98 so we grew up with her we grew up with those ballads so we grew up with

[54:02]upgrade you i mean i guess upgrade she's not a ballad but um you know we grew up with destiny

[54:07]shout all that stuff so we we know her voice to be soothing and comforting yeah she's not doing

[54:11]absolutely for the most part uh next we have sorry that has the line suck on my balls

[54:19]this might be my favorite song yeah she just

[54:26]rips into the guy on this one

[54:28]is this also the one where that's middle fingers up middle fingers up when is the last time you've

[54:35]given someone the middle finger when's the last time you've given someone a middle finger

[54:39]oh i'm a cyclist i do it on one out of five bike rides yeah no i would say

[54:45]walking walking in new york city by the way here's the middle finger up

[54:50]walking in new york city

[54:53]you listen to this

[54:58]on her uh the homecoming album on netflix you know is that live concert at coachella in 18 i

[55:10]think it was i mean when you see her do this live she puts her middle finger up and she gets her

[55:16]face and she you know tell him boy bye i mean it would you would cower if you saw her face you know

[55:23]when she's looking at you like that like you would cower you would just run away and be gone and so

[55:27]i don't know it's a wrecked

[55:28]just by the thought of a woman doing that to me and in the movie in the visual album it's just

[55:33]as powerful it's a whole bus full of of of women um of black women of multiple many different hues

[55:41]all with um faces painted in these beautiful ways and all of them either giving the middle

[55:47]finger or chunking up the deuce and it like every time it's just such a powerful image

[55:51]oh man i just a woman to just treat me like trash oh so erotic to me just garbage just

[55:58]tell me i'm garbage i love it uh oh yeah no i will say walking through new york city i often

[56:04]am flicking people off in cars and just the other week i had somebody turn in front of me while i

[56:09]was crossing the crosswalk and i did kick their car and he's oh nice and he slowed down and i did

[56:15]square up and i was like okay get out of the car we're gonna see what happens but of course if you

[56:19]got out of the car i would immediately start running do you guys ever do the middle finger

[56:22]with the thumb out like or do you always do it with the thumb in are you a thumb out or thumb

[56:26]in middle finger no russell you know i did the thumb out russell you're doing it with the thumb in

[56:28]you're trying to set this up you gotta be a thumb in guy right no russell you know i did the thumb

[56:32]out that's the m&m style that's what i got made fun of the thumb out what's your style you know

[56:38]and i guarantee you know you know like that thing where they do like and it's you know it's 100 it's

[56:42]impossible to lick your elbow right now you know like you know and then they say 100 of people have

[56:47]tried it that's everybody who's listening to the podcast right now was looking at their fingers like

[56:51]i don't know am i a thumb out guy you know i don't know i always did come out you used to pick on me

[56:56]for that that of my umiaya style you used to pick on me wait why why do you do the thumb out what

[57:02]i think the mode is much more aggressive i think it's the thumb in is so kind of dainty the thumb

[57:08]out is just i'm really pissed yeah my problem is i have such short stubby fingers that when i do it

[57:15]when i do a middle finger it looks like kind of like a baby's penis like it does not it is not

[57:20]it is not scary if i flicked you off it's like the cover of the nirvana album

[57:26]oh oh totally this is this is the cover in the nirvana album totally nobody's

[57:30]yeah you're right it doesn't work for rob's hand his fingers are too little

[57:37]fuck you pal

[57:41]by the way if you guys were paying on our patreon to see our video tier of this podcast you'd be

[57:48]having a treat right now to see how many times we could flip each other off

[57:51]oh i thought we were gonna put this on whatever beyonce's album was on that no one can figure

[57:55]out the app what was the app that the movie's on title i just re-upped title again for the fifth

[58:00]time in my life i just like keep trying it again then cancel it once for i had to do it once for

[58:06]kendrick's untitled unmastered i did it for probably for 444 by jay-z and then i like don't

[58:11]use it and then i had to re-up last night so i could watch this video uh you know he just sold

[58:15]that for a shitload of money too uh listen here's a song i had to listen to twice six inches

[58:21]twice it's not bad rob

[58:25]i don't know why they gotta brag about how many inches they got yeah

[58:27]isaac hayes on the track

[58:33]it's six inches if you measure to the taint you know what i mean like on the bottom part

[58:38]yeah how far can you go back yeah how far can you yeah

[58:42]that's like 12 centimeters

[58:46]uh this is with the weekend and the grammys are tonight who's not there the weekend didn't get

[58:53]nominated for any

[58:54]and beyonce got nominated for a ton she's also not performing at the grammys and a lot of people

[58:59]are saying is this the death of the award show grammy's dead in honor of that song i'm stacking

[59:04]my money money everywhere i go tonight i've got some sake so i'm drinking sake tonight oh wow

[59:10]wow the fact of the weekend i was gonna get yamazaki straight from tokyo but it turns out

[59:15]that's a japanese malt whiskey it's the only the first japanese malt whiskey from japan and it was

[59:22]way too out of my price range so i did not get that the fact that the weekend is not nominated

[59:28]for record of the year is ridiculous we talked about that he has the most the longest charting

[59:35]in the top five ever and he didn't get nominated it's it's it's it's he's got such a great voice

[59:40]and a great sound for a song about a stripper murdering people or a sex worker potentially

[59:45]murdering people like he's the guy you would call right if you're like i'm gonna make a song

[59:48]about a sex worker murdering someone the weekend that's the sound i need like you just know it

[59:52]aaron you stole the words out of nobody's mouth uh so i do want to say about award shows though

[59:59]i don't think they're dead because i spent my saturday watching the kids choice award with my

[60:03]daughter and it was it made me feel old as shit i was sitting there and i'd be like who's this

[60:09]she's like what dad this is a famous youtuber i was like okay who's this she's like dad that's

[60:14]justin bieber's wife i was like i don't know who any of these people are i had no idea

[60:18]it was it was uh it was humbling all right and speaking of hanging out with my daughter daddy

[60:24]lessons oh my god country music martina mcbride

[60:32]reba mcintyre uh all these people like if beyonce was just a country singer would she

[60:41]be the biggest country singer in the world yes best since dolly parton right yeah yeah yes

[60:46]listen to this now it is

[60:48]true though too you gotta understand like she's got the best songwriters people are people are

[60:52]cutting their balls off to go write a song for her too so she's got her choice but

[60:57]and to your point you know she's sending out a bunch so like she might send it out to 15 people

[61:01]come back and like five of them make the cut right and so yeah i mean she's getting the best of the

[61:06]best but you know she gives credit to them and yeah it's funny because when you look at the song

[61:11]her talking about her dad and you know man i like to say that this is like a country pastiche

[61:15]i don't know maybe you guys don't know what that word means it's something i like to say

[61:18]that sounds about right but although i could have found that although i don't know is that

[61:22]really a pastiche i mean that's kind of a that to say that's a country song problematic yeah i think

[61:27]that's a straight up country song but her dad well that that song was about her dad here rob

[61:32]go for it and her dad is used to be her manager until 2011 when he fired her and everybody thought

[61:38]that maybe he fired she fired him because that he had trouble with jay-z but they think now it's

[61:43]actually because her dad was cheating on her mom and she was mad about that and dumped him so you

[61:48]can imagine that she's upset with men all over the place and you can also imagine how bad it would be

[61:52]to be that dad you know what i mean and you just are making bank and then all of a sudden 2011 you're

[61:57]just on top of the world and you get fired because you've messed around that would suck

[62:02]and the whole the whole relationship with your child thing that probably wouldn't be the best

[62:07]either so much oh yeah i forgot about that um when the heat rocks pod i'm gonna plug another

[62:12]pod once again the only other podcast talks about that podcast when they did their episode on prince's

[62:18]when anil dash who's a tech uh executive i believe came on and talked about 1999 and he talked

[62:24]specifically about the song delirious and about how prince when he did delirious it's when um other

[62:30]bands like the stray cats or that's the only one i can think of we're doing sort of a rockabilly

[62:35]revival and prince was was like sure i can do a rockabilly song and anil dash said prince always

[62:42]was like i can do you better than you and i feel like that's happening on this album so many times

[62:48]where beyonce says sure we want to do a rock song i can do a rock song better than the best rock band

[62:53]yeah if we're gonna do country i can do country better than the best country singer and just one

[62:58]after another she just lines them up and knocks them down it's like it's like rakim knocking down

[63:02]the seven mcs like she's just doing it to everybody on this entire album and it's just incredible

[63:07]yeah all right we got the next song it was originally tire loved loved out but then it's

[63:15]love drought okay i don't know there's a little this one's a little

[63:18]too personal for me can we just skip this one

[63:20]russ i love you what do you mean oh you're not even gonna give me like oh i like you

[63:29]you're not even gonna give me the me too one of you guys one of you guys had mentioned kanye west

[63:35]earlier and i think on that song love drought i read that the bass section in the synth

[63:39]synth line from some guy named mike dean who worked a lot with kanye west so i think there

[63:44]was a bit of influence there doesn't that sound like it could be a fake name though

[63:48]yes like his name is mike peen or something he's like mike yes he's got two first names and you

[63:53]cannot trust anybody with two first names it's like fuzzy fuzzy dunlop from the wire

[63:58]just don't trust them all right we've got sandcastles

[64:02]we built sandcastles oh i love this when we were talking about ballads earlier to me this is the

[64:09]type of song that gives me chills this is what i love damn it yeah this one this one just about

[64:13]brought me to tears today i it's and it's the one where she's there this is why we're together we

[64:19]we appreciate the same type of song we can listen to these music together i like the song but i

[64:26]cannot wait for her to get back to just telling people to f off personally i can't disagree get

[64:33]a little deep she gets that deep voice and she just starts hitting and you get that bass lines

[64:38]behind i can't wait for it let's get this is why matt had to send me the breakup text we didn't

[64:41]have the same type of feels for beyond that we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond that

[64:43]we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond that we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond

[64:43]we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond that we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond

[64:43]we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond that we didn't have the same type of feels for beyond

[64:43]saying it just didn't work oh man i wish matt would have split the bill a few times first but

[64:49]this is the one point in the video if i remember right where she specifically shouts out another

[64:53]artist and that artist is nina simone and it's a it's a visual of nina's uh silk and soul record

[65:01]playing on the turntable before the the song kind of spins up and i do think that nina is the the one

[65:08]person who took the the personal and made it universal in the way that she did it and i think

[65:13]that's the way that beyonce is doing here so beyonce starts the the whole album with an

[65:17]extremely personal on an extremely personal note and then takes it to mean something so much larger

[65:22]for her community and her people and and nina was doing something similar and obviously uh beyonce

[65:29]took inspiration from that and nina's another voice that will just absolutely make make me weep

[65:33]so uh russell and i will be listening to that later but but isn't every single album about

[65:39]love and breaking up like what makes this album so different is it just because we know what's going

[65:43]on or is it because we didn't know for sure what's going on and now we know that like he was

[65:48]you know he was like to make it because i you know like when i think of this i think of like

[65:53]like shaggy didn't get this big a deal when he was like it wasn't me then around the corner like

[65:58]it wasn't like a visual video where you'd be like shaggy like banging on the corner you know he's

[66:02]banging on the bathroom he's banging on the couch and then it like goes to a nina simone video

[66:06]is this the second some woman with her head in the dryer about shaggy yeah i think so it wasn't me

[66:13]hey before we get into before we get into the good songs i just want to say uh i uh i did a whole

[66:19]bunch of research this week a whole bunch to try to find uh you know just how important this whole

[66:25]album was sure and it was it was all me i did a ton of this research okay and like i didn't ask

[66:31]anybody i didn't shoot out a text you know like some of our loyal listeners to ask if they had

[66:36]any ideas for listening it was all me i came up with this idea he went into his mind palace and

[66:40]saw what was in there i came up with this and i found that beyonce won a peabody award for you know

[66:47]this album and then the and then the you know the the visual album that you got a peabody is a

[66:53]distinguished achievement and meritus public service award by you know for for meritus public

[66:59]service by television and radio stations networks producing organizations individuals as and as of

[67:05]the late 90s uh anything that's on the world wide web oh george peabody

[67:10]was the philanthropist in in atlanta and started in the early 40s so they've been giving these

[67:15]awards out and you know it's not a you can have four one year you can have 31 year it's kind of

[67:22]just whatever is going on that year my bubble account has not gotten a nomination no but we go

[67:27]we go to the list and you know we're trying to find you know how important how big is it that

[67:34]beyonce won a peabody so i went to me personally you know this is all my idea right and i came up

[67:39]with this idea we appreciate it

[67:40]came up with this idea and there's really only been four kind of musicians who won a peabody

[67:47]award the first one being uh bing crosby play that at the back bing crosby's a legendary figure

[67:53]in american he won it for being a legendary figure in american broadcasting he has over

[67:57]1 billion records tapes cds and digital downloads and uh this is obviously white christmas which

[68:05]side note is there anything worse than listening to christmas music in the middle of oh yeah no

[68:10]it's bad i cannot stand i mean like come come watching the white christmas movie quite frankly

[68:14]is worse that movie that's true it's terrible you don't like the christmas movie white christmas

[68:19]sucks oh i thought you were talking the christmas story the red rider bb gun that movie brocks by

[68:24]the way bing crosby had had 41 number one records uh 43 if you count white christmas the christmas

[68:32]a couple times it came out so that's more than the beatles and elvis combined so are those records a

[68:37]one one song type thing either way it's pretty amazing one one song type thing if you ever

[68:42]wonder why like have you ever like when you were hanging out with your grandparents you're like

[68:45]jesus christ these people are boring this is why i mean listen to this like this is what they listen

[68:50]to just wait to the next one let's go to the next guy bing crosby is not saying put your middle

[68:56]fingers up boy bye like that rocks this rob generally when you say hey listen to this it's

[69:03]so boring that's what we would get suggested for edits just a heads up

[69:07]oh fingers middle fingers i'm picturing bing crosby like hey baby put those middle fingers up

[69:14]fuck it boy bye you know what i'm saying out there man what's the next song is that a new

[69:18]impression of me so perry como the quote-unquote crooner won a couple times one for uh one for

[69:30]and then uh he also went in um as a tv personality because he had like a saturday night uh entertainment

[69:37]show he ended up he had five emmys and he's got a grammy for the lifetime achievement award which

[69:41]he won in 2002 so again and a p-body and a p-body for one performance or it's like a lifetime no you

[70:04]dave uh moore won one and

[70:07]like 1970 if you remember that name from wcco radio and so yeah you can win them for all sorts

[70:12]of different things but it's kind of there's not really like a set list of what it is it's just

[70:17]kind of like is it a was it good did it uh you know was it a meritus for you know that year so

[70:24]i sent in a i sent in an application for a p-body award for our podcast and i was

[72:31]i love this this is so fantastic this is this is the highlight of my week is oscar brand doing

[72:43]these little sea shanty type inappropriate songs this is fantastic they just they were going through

[72:48]like you know i was listening to them on youtube and they and they go in their like little you know

[72:52]one minute long songs and you'd go through them and it would go right to the next one and i'm

[72:55]trying to like edit this thing and i'm laughing god damn it it was one of those things like can

[73:00]we put this on the

[73:01]pot are we gonna get you know meanwhile so i checked with robin and he's like hell yeah that's

[73:06]hilarious meanwhile we know you're babysitting that we know you're babysitting your kids at

[73:09]home so they're out like starting a fire in the backyard and you're like what does that smell i

[73:13]don't know hey kids listen to this all right donald glover you might know him as childish

[73:21]gambino won an award in 2016 the same year that uh fiance did for his show atlanta which is on fs

[73:28]which is the show is a genre bending oh my god it's a great show

[73:31]it's quoted as genre bending innovation a skillful commentary on issues ranging from

[73:35]police brutality and mental healing to mental health to celebrity and black culture

[73:41]glover is described as a singer rapper stand-up comedian writer producer and director started

[73:48]out as a writer on 30 rock he's got four albums under the the name childish gambino and he is

[73:53]phenomenal he is i mean some of his albums they have to be like 501 and 502 on this list next

[74:00]time the list comes out one of his albums will be on it he's phenomenal on there for sure yeah

[74:04]that was that'd be on there that was a super impressive impressive resume if i could get

[74:08]that resume and add a p-body to it i would for sure get at least 10 more swipes in the in the

[74:16]data game right yeah do you hear all that stuff that guy's accomplished russell russell i don't

[74:20]i don't like to hear this i think you have a b plus body for sure so russell russell always comes

[74:29]he brings uh his lists and i thought i better dig deep and so i came up with all of that content

[74:34]there i'm impressed it was all me guys i just wanted fantastic and by the way rob hats off as

[74:40]rob by the way rob uh said i did i definitely didn't forget this earlier it was time

[74:47]and as rob correctly said i really don't think it was better christa from the minneapolis

[74:55]thought of it so but i wanted to say that because she probably has

[74:59]written you an email because she's listening to it and she's probably already written you an email

[75:03]you know taking credit for it but i thought i'd just let that marinate for a while so read that

[75:08]email next as you come forward that was a fantastic list man i loved it yeah by the way this is the

[75:12]whole song i'm playing it's a minute long james blake forward so james blake on wikipedia tells

[75:19]a story about this of when she came into the studio he played something and he was supposed

[75:23]to use her idea but he chose not to and she liked it and then used his thing it's another example

[75:29]of a bullshit wikipedia story where a guy's like yeah i came up with this cool thing beyonce took it

[75:34]you know she really liked it it's like yeah right rob's notes for this are longer than the whole

[75:39]song james blake james blake is on the same level as bony ver with me like i just don't get it i mean

[75:46]i don't that's matt i thought this was bony ver when i first heard the album yeah yeah like oh

[75:51]it's a guy who gets he must be very good as a musician because he's you know he's collaborated

[75:56]with a whole bunch of people but i don't know i don't get it no i

[75:59]i thought it was bony fair when i heard it that song is so short it should be called small forward

[76:03]all right we've got freedom two guard and now we start getting into the more

[76:10]this shit is hard this has some this has some energy some fire this is badass

[76:17]let's talk about the history of being a black woman in the united states

[76:21]yeah and this one right yeah there's some field reporters from lomax on here which are

[76:29]listening themselves 2016 she was are using gender inclusive language isn't that fantastic

[76:35]she says themselves it's so good what we got an old favorite on here you can't you can't have a

[76:41]song about uh systemic racism in the united states without putting kendrick lamar on here

[76:46]and he's doing a great thing where his rap is he's counting down from 10.

[76:59]eight blacks left deafness around the corner you've listened to kendrick lamar before but

[77:04]the more i hear from him the more i appreciate how amazing he is and why people put him up on

[77:09]that pedestal as being the best and what i mean i how much would you pay for a whole album of

[77:14]beyonce and kendrick lamar together on every song i mean just fantastic

[77:19]badass so then one of albums in late 2015 early i guess i don't know when this came out in 2016 but

[77:27]this was to me a lot of this was in response to ferguson and kendrick did it i guess kendrick's

[77:34]album came out before ferguson but then it became a response then d'angelo black messiah came out

[77:39]and then this came out and this one to me is the pinnacle of that that movement of just really

[77:44]talking about what was happening giving people a voice and especially the last song in this album

[77:48]formation which was kind of a single that was tacked on at the end because really this all

[77:53]night i think is the closing song of the album because it's talking about okay my husband she's

[77:57]cheated on me i dealt with it now what are we going to do for the rest of our life you know

[78:01]what i mean it's a i bring back those god this sounds good guitar

[78:08]i mean this is one b for me his favorite songs i'm with you this is fantastic but i love it too

[78:20]because it's like you know it's a rock song that's not like russet it's not overproduced

[78:25]and you can hear just how brilliant she is

[78:27]i don't get to make a real ruling on these albums because again i painted myself into a terrible

[78:33]corner i gotta say guys this is one where literally i'm gonna listen to it like forever

[78:38]like i love this absolutely yeah let's do it every day i mean it's this for me it's the albums

[78:43]that that is true for me is this and that kanye album i just love it is this a song with all the

[78:47]trumpets on it too or the horns or not yes let's talk about the sample the sample the outcast so

[78:53]so tell me man what's going on with these horns well

[78:57]there's a maybe the best outcast track ever made spody ody dopealicious which i don't know rosie

[79:05]what's your thoughts oh my thought is that i need to listen to more outcast because i i don't know

[79:11]this album as well as i should because this is from southern playalistic right right and it is

[79:15]good enough so so i know the song i love it you piece of shit rosie shit yeah so these horns right

[79:23]here but but they're and you know we were trying to figure out if they were sampled or not they're

[79:27]jason freeman and his brother jerry are with a group called horns unlimited and are still active

[79:31]today and travel and and play with uh outcasts whenever they're still going but phenomenal so

[79:37]here hit those horns once oh yes

[79:46]i just think it's amazing that you know so much stuff is sampled so much of like cool

[79:54]rap songs are like oh that was from the 70s

[79:57]the 60s and this you know this is this was in 98 they came up with that that tune and it so but for

[80:03]her to choose it as a sample is her giving because i think a lot of this album is expanding genres

[80:09]beyond r&b beyond hip-hop she's working with producers from or you know band members from

[80:15]animal collective she's working with people from vampire weekend so she's expanding just like we

[80:20]talked about kanye doing she's expanding her scope of influence and uh being influenced

[80:26]but she's still giving messages to her her core group of fans to say yeah i know outcast so here's

[80:33]here's an outcast sample in uh is it in hold up or in the third track where she quotes soldier boy

[80:41]and she says i'm about the band got my swag on that's a soldier boy and like wait what'd she say

[80:47]i'm about the band sorry sorry we couldn't hear that one more time

[80:51]we weren't recording

[80:53]so she's bringing in

[80:56]these like little things to be like you know you you can you can't you can take me out of hip-hop

[81:03]for a minute but you can't take hip-hop and r&b out of me i mean she does it with the isaac hayes

[81:07]stuff on six inch too and it's just so cool how she's able to bring that in while bringing in all

[81:12]these other sounds uh and then our last song is and obviously we're probably not the best people

[81:18]to be talking about this album in general or what this song is talking about but this was a song

[81:21]that was released uh on purpose one day after what would have been trayvon martin's 21st birthday

[81:26]uh this this is a song that became totally a lot like that kendrick lamar album we talked about

[81:32]kind of enmeshed with the with the black lives matter movement this is formation

[81:35]i'm so possessive so i'm not gonna lie i was gonna make my parody song today

[81:42]radio station about how aaron couldn't find his radio station

[81:45]but it didn't seem right to me to do it

[81:56]and really like this is kind of what you're gonna see for a lot of beyonce from 2016 to now

[82:02]how are we gonna say about this i mean just what what a what a killer i mean just a great album

[82:11]then a killer ending to it it's just just crazy so that was beyonce's lemonade all right so guys

[82:20]first of all i'm just gonna tell you right now i think this album is so good it should get a b plus

[82:23]on say oh yeah

[82:26]that's not even my closing joke so just wait because i got a good one coming up

[82:30]hold on tight all right so uh is this oh no guys i don't have my notes with my with my rating system

[82:36]i'm gonna have to go off the top of my dome uh so we're going to get to everyone's favorite part

[82:41]it's it's listen how good is it well listen to this it's it's time oh god i thought that was

[82:48]everybody's favorite part of the show the patent and very popular beck did it better

[82:56]yeah i got a trademark too so uh yeah it is it is a invention i did patent it um matt so are you

[83:08]going to rate this album oh no i don't really don't have it written down this is stressing me

[83:12]out is this a rolling well toned what that means is that this is album number 32 and it should be

[83:18]32 32 is the perfect spot for this album listen 31 uh-uh 33 oh i don't think so 32 wow this is

[83:25]a rolling well toned people of rolling stone magazine you did a great job did this album

[83:30]get rolling boned okay is it too low on the list and of course by low on the list means we should

[83:35]have covered it already not on episode 32 now this isn't episode 32 if you look at our itunes

[83:41]but that's because there's been some mix-ups listen did this album get rolling bone do you

[83:46]want to give the editors of rolling stone a thumb and a middle finger your hands up and so or is this

[83:55]a rolling groan ugh i didn't like this album 32 man this should be 33 this should be 34 we we were

[84:03]on time until rob just pulled that stunt right there lower yeah no rolling groan means it should

[84:10]be lower again on this list that means a higher number so i think this is all very fair i've got

[84:15]i have got a number of voicemails actually complaining about me explaining this well guess

[84:19]what put your fingers up fuck you or however that parko song goes okay i'm gonna put it in there

[84:25]uh matt what do you think well i'll just say first of all that my wife thinks this is probably one of

[84:31]her favorite parts of the whole show she thinks it's amazing you can just whip that off the top

[84:35]of your head i don't think she knows that you normally have notes that you're going off of but

[84:38]i think you did just fine so great job just like when he cheats on you maddie cheats on

[84:43]our listeners with those notes yeah all right you're ready ready yes um i think that you know

[84:52]i've been very critical of

[84:55]albums that are just extremely um sterile if you will like there's not one note out of out of beat

[85:03]there's not one um iota of anything that's like a mess mix up on a of a somebody playing an

[85:11]instrument or anything it is so clean so tight uh is it stevie wonder that i was saying that

[85:15]about i mean there's some other things that it's just i've said i've hated those this album

[85:19]completely flipped my thriller michael jackson that's what it was yeah you know this album

[85:24]absolutely flipped my thriller this album completely flipped my thriller michael jackson that's what it was yeah you know this album absolutely

[85:25]flipped that thought for me you know there's not there's nothing out of out of line with this album

[85:29]at all but i love it it's the first one when we got the new uh list out that i i was listening

[85:35]to going through the list again this is the first one that just blew me away like this album is so

[85:39]great i can't believe i haven't heard it before so it's absolutely got rolling boned

[85:44]oh right and i forgot what that means russ what do you think of this album

[85:48]is it a rolling well tone is it a rolling bone or is this a rolling groan

[85:55]when i listen to it and this is kind of the first thing i've thought of with all the newer albums

[86:01]i've always kind of thought some of these albums have really stood the test of time they've been

[86:06]around for 50 60 years i always wonder if the newer albums you know ones that are within the

[86:11]last four or five six years whether it's just kind of the end thing now and so they're getting

[86:15]too much credit but i listened to this and was just really blown away by it to me i really i

[86:20]said this earlier i love the beyonce songs where they're more of the ballads where i can hear her

[86:24]singing and just wailing to me it gives me the chills i think she's an amazing singer for me some

[86:30]of the songs are a little bit over engineered i think there's too much going on and that's just

[86:35]for me personally but i'm gonna say it's rolling i was gonna say it was rolling well toned but on

[86:40]the off chance that any woman i ever meet in the future listens to this oh and as a beyonce fan i'm

[86:46]gonna bump it up i'm gonna say this is rolling boned it should be higher on the list rolling bone

[86:52]all right aaron what do you think

[86:54]yes this album is a movement it's part of a movement i rob mentioned the black lives matter

[87:04]movement black lives do matter we're recording this the day after the one-year anniversary of

[87:08]brianna taylor's murder this album is rolling boned there is nothing like it it is one of the

[87:13]greatest ever all right and the correct answer by the way it's too bad all of you got this wrong

[87:20]the correct answer is this is a rolling crustacean all right

[87:24]i i this this album is that something you could order at red lobster okay so for all you dummies

[87:30]out there crustacean is like a it's like a lobster this this is your science lesson from yeah from the

[87:36]the cafeteria work right hey everybody i'm uh mr rob i almost said my last name i'm mr rob i'm your

[87:42]teacher today i'm gonna teach you this is rolling crustacean because i feel like this album fucked

[87:47]me so good i love this this is like fucking my ear holes it's just so great uh class dismissed

[87:52]now i don't i don't get it because uh it's different though because when my

[87:56]you know normally take fucking somebody and going to red lobster you'd have a shrimp feast

[88:01]but my wife says it's more like a limp obese

[88:04]really helps to read it i mean if you read it it really makes sense obese

[88:22]i don't know i don't know if our middle fingers play as well on the podcast as they do in the

[88:29]just a heads up oh you think the listeners are going to care that they can't see us

[88:32]all right there's a lot of visual humor going on here and it's just as funny as the

[88:46]oral humor that you're hearing in your ears right now uh listen up next week we're all the way up

[88:52]you

[88:52]up to 33 we have amy winehouse back in black i am excited to see how that rehab worked out

[88:58]oh oh my god when you want to hear

[89:02]i'm gonna just

[89:22]back did it better so i my mom reached out to me and she finally got her vaccine

[89:26]and she told me i may qualify for an early vaccine and this was like the worst part of

[89:31]my week where she said well you've had this one medical issue and technically you are probably

[89:35]over the mass body mass index where you would qualify as morbidly obese so you should go get

[89:41]your your vaccine now and that was the worst part of my week the fact that my mom called me and said

[89:47]you may be over the weight limit to get an early vaccine that's my life russ my mom's

[89:51]said that shit to me three months ago
