[02:31]i know i have that saved

[02:32]we can play it anytime

[02:33]all right everybody

[02:35]welcome to beck did it better

[02:36]we're talking about the top albums on the roll

[02:38]listen i did in the intro

[02:39]you heard it already

[02:39]but we're all the way up to album 33

[02:41]we're talking about amy winehouse back to black

[02:43]wait am i supposed to play the song again

[02:45]i'm all confused

[02:46]i'm in a loop now

[02:46]i feel like i'm in looper

[02:47]wait here's a younger version of me

[02:50]are you here to kill me

[02:51]wait a minute you want to kiss

[02:53]okay i'll do that too

[02:54]uh

[02:55]is that the verse

[02:56]i remember

[02:56]but why that actually

[02:58]i gotta stop for a second

[02:59]that does not make sense

[03:00]why would the younger version

[03:01]come see the older version of me to kiss

[03:03]that's the best stuff

[03:04]maybe for that sweet mustache you got

[03:06]and how did all the versions get stuck in the dryer

[03:09]is the real question

[03:10]did you say versions or virgins

[03:12]because that gave me an idea

[03:16]for a google search later tonight

[03:17]now here's the thing

[03:18]is that when i was younger

[03:19]was i into dilfs

[03:20]yes i was

[03:21]so i could see where i would be looking for me

[03:22]i think that's okay

[03:23]uh that's dance i like

[03:25]here

[03:25]oh

[03:26]so here's the thing

[03:26]okay you can see it on my tattoo as well

[03:28]uh we've got three guys here

[03:30]who wish this album was called back to snack

[03:32]i'm sorry i didn't have much time to get ready for this show

[03:35]i do love snacks i agree with that

[03:36]you're right rob

[03:37]when you just go dirty right away

[03:39]these shows are so much better

[03:40]you should never try to go clean

[03:42]ever again

[03:43]rob's right

[03:44]scrap that idea

[03:45]all right so

[03:47]now i've got i've got to move around

[03:49]it's hard

[03:49]uh so uh i've got three guys here

[03:52]who wish the album was called back to

[03:53]what am i doing i'm a mess

[03:54]i've got matt minneapolis

[03:56]matt how are you doing

[03:56]excellent rob

[03:58]thanks for having me

[03:59]fun as always to be here

[04:00]love that energy

[04:02]i've got aaron out in california

[04:03]aaron how are you doing

[04:04]i'm great i hope this show is good enough to make my buzzer go

[04:07]but that could be a mess in the garage

[04:08]i don't like it when you say that

[04:11]uh i got russ in minnesota

[04:12]russ how are you doing

[04:13]rob you called on aaron and matt before me

[04:15]what kind of fuckery is this

[04:17]i can't believe you guys made me miss the slick rig gig

[04:20]for this podcast

[04:21]i can't believe you guys made me miss the slick rig gig

[04:26]topical

[04:26]slick rig

[04:27]you guys made me miss it for this podcast

[04:29]laudy laudy

[04:32]we like to party

[04:33]i always love slick rig

[04:36]because i loved his

[04:36]i loved his sound of him rapping

[04:38]it just always sounded so like

[04:40]smooth like he was

[04:41]he didn't even care about it at all

[04:43]and then he was just

[04:43]cause trouble

[04:44]don't bother nobody

[04:45]and then it always seemed to me unfair

[04:47]because he was with dougie fresh

[04:48]and i was like

[04:48]dougie fresh is working like 10 times as hard as slick rick

[04:51]and slick rick is just doing like

[04:52]hey baby buddy

[04:53]i'm here to party

[04:54]and dougie fresh is like

[04:55]oh

[04:55]oh

[04:56]I'm here to party

[04:57]and that was my beatbox

[04:58]and it feels even more appropriate

[05:00]that i didn't try very hard to do a good job

[05:01]all right

[05:02]so everybody is staring at me

[05:03]so that means it is time to move on to our

[05:05]rob are you the main host or not

[05:06]oh yeah i am the main host

[05:08]and i'm here in

[05:08]the greatest city in the world

[05:10]new york city

[05:12]the greatest city in the world

[05:15]listen let's get right to our voicemail

[05:17]kiss my ass

[05:18]dumb shit listeners

[05:19]they can't even tell what we're doing

[05:20]oh no they're back

[05:21]god they're back

[05:22]dumb shits

[05:23]they're just the dumbest of the dumb

[05:24]the dumbest of the dumb

[05:25]dumb shits

[05:26]hey gentlemen

[05:28]this is a close personal relative of aaron's

[05:31]i felt compelled to call in

[05:32]i was texting aaron yesterday

[05:34]trying to identify one of the ingredients

[05:37]in the vietnamese noodle soup pho

[05:39]uh he identified the ingredient as anise

[05:42]uh actually star anise

[05:43]and then he proceeded to tell me that

[05:45]he's allergic to anise

[05:47]uh which

[05:47]what kind of fuckery is this

[05:52]what kind of fuckery is this aaron

[05:54]which means you're allergic to it

[05:55]um so you know just wanted to let you guys know

[05:58]that aaron did tell me that his face gets all red

[06:01]itchy and blotchy anytime he eats anise

[06:03]get a shave beforehand aaron

[06:07]what the fuck

[06:09]gotta watch out for pink eye too

[06:12]so you know while the rest of us are out

[06:17]enjoying anise eating season

[06:19]not worrying about it

[06:20]you know aaron actually cannot eat anise

[06:22]and so

[06:25]aaron's rolling going is completely

[06:26]what the fuckery right now

[06:28]the pregnant pauses are great

[06:33]i've never heard rob be this silent on the podcast

[06:35]there's no way we've ever got 18 seconds without rob

[06:38]i've got to admit i laughed about this for about 10 minutes

[06:42]when i heard it the first time

[06:43]so it's kind of not funny to me anymore

[06:45]and in fact i don't think there is an anise eating season

[06:48]like i i also don't enjoy anise aaron

[06:51]i'm not allergic to it

[06:52]i don't like it

[06:53]but i've always thought maybe i just don't like it

[06:55]i just tried the wrong anise you know

[06:56]because it always to me

[06:57]that anise always tastes like black licorice

[06:59]and i'm wondering if maybe it's prepared a different way

[07:01]maybe i'd like anise more

[07:02]i don't know let's keep listening

[07:03]so i just thought that it was it was good information

[07:05]for you guys to have

[07:06]love the podcast

[07:07]um you know happy to be able to call in

[07:10]and let you know that aaron is unable to eat anise

[07:14]due to an allergy uh which which flares up

[07:17]when he eats anise

[07:18]thanks for everything guys

[07:19]you really need to get that checked out aaron

[07:21]the the the truth is

[07:25]the truth of the matter is i he's the the caller is trying to set me up for this

[07:29]what but i'm gonna go with it

[07:32]eating anise

[07:33]i can eat anise

[07:35]i can't cook it

[07:37]the thing that happened is that we tried cooking food at home

[07:41]yeah and when

[07:42]no kink shaming

[07:43]rule number one

[07:45]that's true we did have a written agreement

[07:47]there would be no kink shaming on this podcast

[07:49]that in my relationship in my marriage we tried anise too

[07:52]and it did turn out that the cook was too big

[07:54]and i was like oh my god

[07:55]so i don't know maybe you need to add some more i don't know

[08:01]olive oil or something maybe that'll help that'll help with your anise

[08:04]is that a possibility

[08:07]yeah the truth of the matter is that

[08:14]aaron it could have been something you were eating with the anise

[08:16]the anise that that gave you the reaction latex or something

[08:20]i'm not yeah i have i it's been a while now since i tried

[08:24]um i've been eating a lot of food lately and i've been eating a lot of food lately

[08:24]um but again uh it was more that in cooking it uh my face turned all red and blotchy and i even had

[08:31]to uh douse my face in milk to try to fix it side note my son thinks this is a hilarious uh story

[08:37]yeah he really thinks that's funny that's that's good you know he's one of our top listeners

[08:44]actually he i think he might have sent in that voicemail actually i cut out that part at the

[08:48]beginning where he said i've actually earned son and again i cannot remember the name of your kid

[08:52]so that's not going to affect uh the joke at all but i'm not going to do that i'm going to do it

[08:54]all but so so uh shut up for a second first of all that is very funny that voicemail is very good

[09:00]second of all i'm not letting you just go by by saying you doused your face in milk and then i'm

[09:05]not going to talk about that so what exactly do you mean you doused your face in milk did you pour

[09:09]milk on your face or did you make a bowl full of milk and then put your face into it or what i think

[09:13]yeah i think i made a bowl full and dunked it so yeah we tried why now why did you do that that's

[09:18]a very dumb thing to do why did you do that because my face felt terrible we tried to make

[09:21]at home i don't which i don't recommend like just just go out

[09:24]to eat pho don't try to make it at home no i and i love to be honest i love pho

[09:29]you know what i mean like i i think it's so good it's delicious you probably don't need to go out

[09:34]to have the anise though do you you can probably just stay at home for that and it depends if it's

[09:40]it's not very good at home you gotta get out yeah well aaron doesn't like aaron doesn't like the

[09:45]pho at home so he gets to pho out about that's where he finds he doesn't like he can't eat anise

[09:50]something about the fumes cooking it in the air made my face all

[09:54]like i got hives and i was i didn't know what the fuck i had i was trying to figure out how to

[09:59]cool the burning sensation on my face so this is maybe this and this anise is spicy is what

[10:05]you're yeah very spicy yeah hey would you say you had some hot anise action

[10:10]next time you better stick with that cheese tortellini on those hikes yeah yeah that would

[10:17]have been a better better move yeah that would have been a much better move you have like a

[10:24]problem when you're out in public i think you should add some anise to those cheese tortellini

[10:29]hikes i mean spice it up a little bit variety is the spice of life i do you know all these very

[10:36]dumb jokes aside which i saw coming at it from about noon today uh and by the way that's the

[10:41]best voicemail we've ever gotten sorry all matt's friends um although i would like to actually i

[10:47]would if one of matt's friends could actually call in and do that same call but with the accent i

[10:54]just let you know aaron can't eat anise he gets all it's all red and blotchy yeah um but i do have

[11:02]to say like i i like the idea that you think that you think that your rashy face is like eating too

[11:07]much salsa and you have to eat milk to like you have to pour milk do you just pour milk over

[11:11]anything that like hurts or what i mean i was at a loss man i didn't know it was i was i didn't

[11:15]know what to do we didn't have anything else in the house like in all reality like water doesn't

[11:19]work like on spicy stuff like if you like you eat wings that are too hot so if you don't drink water

[11:23]you drink milk right

[11:24]is that what we were thinking yeah yeah and if i get a bug bite and it hurts really bad i pour

[11:28]milk all over it like it makes total sense to me i get it do you guys remember that show man versus

[11:33]food where he would eat like the really big meals or the really hot stuff maybe aaron should have a

[11:38]new tv show where it's aaron versus anise and it's just air like every episode is aaron eating anise

[11:44]in a different part of the world i like that different anise after different anise i think

[11:49]that's a great idea and i you know what and i didn't even say anything about being star anise

[11:54]so i'm pretty happy

[11:54]with that i'm pretty proud of myself it's really kudos to everyone involved really thank you i

[11:59]did you ever did you ever show tonight did you ever oh i'm gonna be quiet i'll have to tell rob

[12:04]to delete it anyways move it along i don't know at this point i think it's everybody's about fourth

[12:11]favorite segment rolling going it's it's it's time to see what everybody's got a high high

[12:19]rating rating system we have a lot of segments we need more segments

[12:23]oh

[12:24]yeah all right russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going things are going

[12:30]great i was actually lucky enough to go on a trip earlier this week to scottsdale for a work thing

[12:36]so i got out of minneapolis for a little bit but as you guys know anytime i go anywhere i have these

[12:41]experiences at the airport that i just have to share with you and get your opinion on is this

[12:47]the worst ever is it the best ever how would you handle things are we doing love or confusion

[12:51]yeah we could call this love or confusion

[12:54]oh

[12:54]whether you love this at the airport or does it leave you confusion at the airport all right

[12:59]we can do that by the way i'm gonna say i don't love anything at the airport i can't think of a

[13:03]single thing that the airport does better than my everyday life like at all like if you say to you

[13:09]where's the worst possible place to have to go to the bathroom i would say the airport is actually

[13:12]right up there where's the worst possible place to get a cinnabon i would say the airport is right

[13:16]up there where's the worst possible place to go with like your family and kids the airport is

[13:21]right up there like the airport does can you guys think of anything the airport does well

[13:24]big beers man flies here's big shots yeah big best place to catch a flight

[13:31]no i don't think so because i why are you going to the airport flying somewhere i've flown private

[13:38]before and it was way better you just walked out on the plane and got on it oh now we're talking oh

[13:42]okay i forgot you live in new york we all forgot you and you're an american record holder

[13:48]but flying private is also what i call eating anise so that's

[13:52]and that's it for that joke no more okay more potato potato and i'm in charge russell i'm sorry

[13:59]to interrupt you go ahead it's all good it's all good so the first thing i started wondering is

[14:03]sometimes you see the tsa and they're always the same type looking nice right a lot of them it's

[14:07]kind of like a schlubby looking dude semi balding he's probably wearing a knee brace you don't really

[14:12]know why he needs the knee brace when he's just sitting on the stool the whole time they're all

[14:17]it's always they're taking it very seriously and i appreciate that they're looking out for our safety

[14:22]and they're always the same type looking people right a lot of them it's kind of like a schlubby

[14:22]looking dude semi balding he's probably wearing a knee brace you don't really know why he needs the knee

[14:22]but i think i came across the person with the worst job at the airport and i want to see what

[14:27]you guys think of this guy at the airport so now whenever you walk in and you're going and you're

[14:32]waiting in line to go through security a lot of times now there's the kind of the drug sniffing

[14:37]or bomb sniffing dog right they're walking the dog behind you as you're walking through a certain

[14:42]point and i realized there's this one person whose job is literally just to wave their arm

[14:48]and constantly say straight through don't stop straight through

[14:52]don't stop and literally their only job for eight hours is to tell you to walk straight and don't

[14:58]stop when the dog runs behind you could there be a worse job in the world than to literally just

[15:03]wave your arm and yell straight through don't stop for eight straight hours i would say that

[15:10]dog's job is probably worse it's probably just robbie be me to it it's sniffing it's sniffing

[15:15]anise all day long i mean that's all i can smell i gotta say i think i like sniffing yeah maybe

[15:19]that is what the dog enjoys i i do think you know the

[15:22]think about the lines at the airport that is a terrible job i would say any job at the airport

[15:26]again the airport is the worst version of anything that exists in real life it's just terrible any job

[15:31]there is terrible i think that but i do get mad first of all my gag at the airport of course with

[15:36]my girls is that i'm a guy who loves lines that's the bit i do and so when i see a long line i go

[15:41]yes and i go really loud yes a line and then when the line turns 180 degrees and you're still in a

[15:47]line i go it's another line and my girls are so embarrassed they hate it

[15:51]and then the other thing i don't like is that there's they're always trying to gaslight me

[15:56]at the airport and they always are like take your id out this isn't going fast because people don't

[16:01]have their ids out i'm like no actually it's not going fast because we have 150 fucking people in

[16:05]this line and you have two windows open and all these x-ray machines are closed you could open

[16:10]those all up and we'd go much faster but no it's the fact i gotta take up my wallet take out my id

[16:15]shut up you're the problem not me and i get mad i get like legitimately mad and every time i say

[16:20]i go they're gaslighted but she's like yes yes i know just call like jenny's the one calming me

[16:24]down for once and then there's the one guy who's always being a real anus and he takes forever to

[16:28]check your bag when it's going through the the detector he does what does he need eight minutes

[16:33]to check the bag for either open the shit up or send it through what are we doing here have you

[16:39]ever flown with uh uh creatine like a supplement it's a white powder no i lifted 752 pounds on my

[16:46]last week without any supplements i can tell you the

[16:49]anytime i fly with jenny she always has like 10 bags full of powder that's not labeled and we get

[16:55]stopped every single fucking time wait why isn't she just bringing a new container why is she why

[17:00]she got it i don't know but she puts in a bag and then jenny of course is a very she's very quick to

[17:04]anger like at the airport there's been a number of times where amelia will do an impression of

[17:09]jenny at the airport where she says ma'am do you need to step aside and cool down because that's

[17:12]what they always say to her at the airport she's always yelling at people i got one so the last

[17:16]time it was a while ago but there was one time when i was in front of the airport and i was like

[17:19]in front of a guy's in front of me right so you go and it's always a race like you gotta get that

[17:23]first bin and get your bin on the on the conveyor to get it through right like it's just a race so

[17:30]when they first had that out where you get like the four stalls right and the thing just comes

[17:33]and it's okay you go here so you go there well they've got like the the people were helping like

[17:37]put the the tsa guys were grabbing the bins setting them up for you right so this guy

[17:43]thought he should be next right and like the the guy the tsa guy put it for another guy over

[17:49]and so the guy who thought that he should have had the bin it should have been his turn was like

[17:53]hey it's my turn and the tsa guy's like you know just we're all getting through this we'll we'll

[17:58]get through you know what but no i gotta you know like he just started causing this ruckus for like

[18:03]five minutes so then the tsa guy is bored he takes the next bin sets it in front of me so now

[18:07]he purposely didn't give it to this guy okay so keep hold on hold on so then he finally gets to

[18:13]this guy and this guy's like man that's just not right that's you know like you just you know so

[18:17]he starts giving the tsa guy crap

[18:19]right and so we get through the line and we start going through and everybody's getting their stuff

[18:25]through who do you think's been got flagged for a check yeah so that guy because he caused a

[18:32]problem the tsa guy instantly just told his buddy like oh we're checking this guy so now this guy

[18:37]he had to open up his bag and everything so just keep your mouth shut and walk through and just

[18:41]say yes sir no sir yes ma'am no ma'am get through that thing as fast as possible and for god's sakes

[18:46]don't be a cheap bastard rob and just get the tsa pre

[18:49]check get the clear you're in and out in literally 13 seconds bro well you know like 100 bucks a year

[18:55]you know you know that when i'm going there i'm going delta sky club every time now yeah it's the

[18:59]pay for that yeah i get absolutely hammered when i fly now just right just fall over drunk with my

[19:05]two kids and a dog i'm like and i eat a ton of hot dogs so yeah so that also helps so that i can

[19:13]go shit my brains out and probably the best bathrooms in the whole world with my wide stance

[19:18]i do appreciate that the tsa people have to be hollering at people to keep moving moving people

[19:23]along a lot of people are not well versed in being at the airport they don't know what they're doing

[19:27]i get that but sometimes the tsa people use no common sense right the one thing that really

[19:33]bothered me this time through is they're running the dogs behind these people and there's about

[19:38]eight kids coming up that are between the ages of you know three and five very young kids and a few

[19:45]of these kids are terrified of the dogs like they're

[19:47]panicking yeah they're yelling they're hollering they're like freaking out yeah and they can't just

[19:53]move the dog away for like a eight seconds they've still gotta run that stupid that fat man with the

[19:59]balding head and the knee brace has still gotta run the dog behind that kid like that kid's not

[20:04]bringing anything in in that power rangers backpack like what are we doing here russell

[20:10]you're gonna be flagged for the rest of your life this is going out in the ether you're gonna be

[20:13]flagged for the rest of your life i don't care yeah was this at msp or in scottsdale russell

[20:17]scottsdale is where they wouldn't call the dogs off when the kids were freaking out

[20:22]or phoenix okay yeah i was at msp once when the drug dog was there and it was very

[20:27]it was just over the top they were they were waiting for flights from california

[20:32]standing at the gates where the flights from california were coming in then hassling people

[20:35]about drugs and that whole thing is just silly that's just a lot of people with

[20:39]the who don't know what's important in life but beyond the beyond the drugs though there was one

[20:44]other thing i had to run by you guys because i always want to know what you guys think the

[20:47]right the right way to handle this is how would you ever do this on a plane what are your thoughts

[20:53]about people who bring hot food onto a plane not not a bag of chips they bring a burger on the

[21:00]plane and sit next to you on the plane with hot food what are your thoughts the stinky food i

[21:04]think that's whack but i think it's a power move so go for it let's bring bring your bring your

[21:09]tuna sub that you bought at jersey mike's and in terminal c2 or whatever go for it power move

[21:17]stink up the whole plane those people should be executed period they should be killed we're all

[21:22]in this enclosure it smells it smells terrible and right away they open up like they open up

[21:28]like a giant like thing of chinese food and i'm like really like i don't even mind the smell that

[21:32]much but you're really gonna do like you that's what you need to eat right now you can't just have

[21:35]like ritz crackers and spring cheese just in the yeah and my face love red and splotchy i'm pouring

[21:41]milk all over my face i'm yelling my anise anise i always wish i'm the one that did it because we

[21:47]peanut butter banana sandwiches which are delicious but then you're eating your pb and b

[21:50]and somebody's having a big mac and you're like man i don't know that big mac smells pretty good

[21:55]we did that once where he brought peanut butter sandwiches and the woman next to us goes

[21:58]my grandson is allergic to peanut butter you should not bring those and of course jenny

[22:05]does not handle this as well as maybe and i love my wife i do but jenny goes is your kid on this

[22:13]plane and the lady did say no he's not jay goes what the hell

[22:16]is the problem that who cares i'm gonna eat this peanut butter sandwich good for jenny

[22:20]good for jenny while i'm like trying to crawl into my seat somehow like backwards

[22:25]kiss my anise yeah no hot food hot food on the plane is very bad jenny would always do the real

[22:31]power move to me where we had two young kids and jenny every time 30 seconds before we'd board the

[22:36]plane would go get the biggest hottest coffee she could probably possibly get and that way

[22:42]i would have to do everything on the plane because jenny would be like i can't do anything i have a

[22:46]coffee i'm putting the bags up because this was back when the kids had like car seats we'd bring

[22:52]car seats on the plane to plug it in because you could strap them in then and they would sleep

[22:56]otherwise the kids would just roam around the plane which is always a problem so i had to do

[23:00]everything so people didn't get the scalding and jenny would sit by the way we are flying in this

[23:04]next week going down to see my parents jenny bought herself a first class ticket so i don't

[23:09]know what to say to that but i got to admit when i'm sitting with my kids it's like i'm in first

[23:13]class because i just sit in the middle and i take up both seats

[23:16]so you so she's sitting first class and you and your two kids sitting back

[23:20]yeah exactly wow yeah well i i she texted me and i was like well what am i gonna say so i just

[23:26]texted back i was like you deserve it i mean that's the only only reasonable answer man

[23:32]yeah but would she buy you all first class ticket oh yeah no she would definitely do that

[23:37]in a heartbeat if i let her oh you just say no no yeah if trust me if spending money on

[23:42]dumb things is cool call jenny miles davis because she's that's her favorite shit

[23:46]she loves it aaron texted us and he said guys my rolling going is so good this week get ready to

[23:52]and he said you guys can riff on it like he's never fucking heard the podcast before

[23:56]like he's just gonna tell the story we're gonna be like okay man rolling going i could not believe

[24:01]so i texted back no thanks i was like i don't know what i mean you edited the last one you

[24:05]know what the podcast sounds like now although most of his edits literally were you said in

[24:09]the podcast you were going to edit it out i don't think you should i was like yeah i know that's the

[24:14]joke

[24:16]i was playing along yeah well i wanted to give you guys a chance to prepare because i thought

[24:21]rob you specifically might have too many examples of what i'm about to talk about and i wanted you

[24:26]to be able to focus on which ones are the best okay but the first thing i have to say is that

[24:30]i ate a burrito this week is the first burrito i've had in the entire pandemic i don't know why

[24:37]i i don't know why i never had a burrito this entire but we've been doing takeout once a week

[24:40]i don't know why i never chose burritos a burrito is so satisfying i'm really i encourage all of our

[24:46]go out get yourself a burrito treat yourself one day it's really worth the worth the effort

[24:50]especially in the bay area right like that's like burrito central isn't it oh yeah man there's right

[24:55]i mean there's there's all the regional burrito styles uh and the funny thing was i ended up going

[25:00]with the veggie burrito because the guy at the taco spot was like the veggie burrito is my favorite

[25:04]and i said yes and the great thing was you feel way better eating three pounds of vegetables than

[25:08]you do eating three pounds of barbacoa so i i felt okay about that i was happy with how that went

[25:13]i'm 40 years old and i still i'm 40 years

[25:16]old and i still constantly like i'm surprised by how i feel after i eat garbage like i'm still

[25:21]eating i'm still drinking a ton of milk and afterwards i'm like oh god i feel sick why would

[25:25]i do this aaron do dump or marry three pounds of barbacoa three pounds of vegetables or three pounds

[25:31]of anise what would you do what would you dump and what would you do i gotta i gotta marry the

[25:37]vegetables do the barbacoa and dump the anise that's not even a question that's that's quick

[25:41]all day no doubt that's the answer i think i think dumping is what the anise

[25:45]is for i mean if it works right that's true i with my burrito i was happy as they say i was

[25:54]as happy as a pig in slop which leads me into my real rolling going which is that we have a friend

[26:01]who moved into the neighborhood and they stopped by for some driveway beers the other night and

[26:05]they left their uh bag while they were here and so we we walked over and took the bag back to him on

[26:11]wednesday and we were heading out for for a walk during work and

[26:15]he said oh are you going up to see the pigs and we said wait oh like oh like pig statues or

[26:21]something and he was like no there's a live there's a real pig that lives in this yard at

[26:25]this house up here at the corner of uh florence and proctor and we're like are you serious so we

[26:30]walked up there and sure enough so i i live in oakland but i live in a very i'm actually nice

[26:35]to my neighbors i would never call them pigs and then look at them through the window like i think

[26:38]that's really bad i live in a very residential neighborhood people in the bay area do have

[26:44]chickens that's not out of that's not uncommon at all for people have chickens but we went up

[26:49]there and sure enough there is a pig sleeping in the yard of this house and it's a it's a nice

[26:55]house it's probably a million and a half dollar house the pig's just laying a beautiful pig i've

[27:00]never seen markings like this on a pig really pretty just laying out in the yard in the sun

[27:05]taking a nap i've never seen anything like it so my question to you guys is what are some weird

[27:10]things that you've seen in in your neighborhood this can i'm going to take this a little bit

[27:14]different direction but when you talk about the pig having the the pig as a pet one thing i've

[27:20]realized now is a lot of people have indoor rabbits as pets did you guys know that yep i have

[27:26]some i have some a niece and nephew that do yeah i i went out with a woman and she had a couple kids

[27:32]and one of their kids they decided they were going to take like the school rabbit home and keep it as

[27:36]a pet yeah and when she was telling me about this i was like you got to be shitting me you have the

[27:40]rabbit in your house and he's probably shitting yeah and it didn't go well after that i was gonna

[27:46]say how did that day turn out russ when you ask your kids has a pet you go you gotta be shitting

[27:50]me well it was going well take care of another living thing and care about it what the fuck

[27:55]well but like an indoor rabbit that just seems like a bizarre thing but that's like a typical

[27:59]pet now as people have indoor rabbits right yeah that's crazy matt big big furry things you can

[28:05]hug and then they'll hug you back there's no way matt allows an indoor rabbit in his house oh no

[28:10]those things shit everywhere can you imagine those i mean like oh no i've got a cat that you

[28:17]know i care a lot i just don't want to do any more kitty litter anymore that's like in a little box

[28:22]and it actually goes where it's supposed to be made in a rabbit just out running around in your

[28:25]house yikes no i don't know russ i i i you're not you're not a pet guy are you russell like did you

[28:32]have pets growing up and stuff dude i can't even take care of a plant how am i supposed to take

[28:35]care of a pet there's a reason i'm still single here oh i thought you were raising that plant that

[28:40]was

[28:40]in your gutter for a while i thought that was like your hand-fed plant that you were taking

[28:43]care of i was fertilizing it until matt cut it down i don't know if it's a strange thing but

[28:48]it's just you know people like keep things out too long or they they think something's

[28:55]cool but really everybody else you can you know is just like get that fucking thing out of here

[29:00]like there's a there's a neighbor around the block who's got his like 1978 santa claus uh

[29:07]display that it's still like the plastic you know that and it's all

[29:10]fading everything it's like still outside it's march right now and things like that and you're

[29:15]like why did why do you only have one thing in your yard you need a dozen right and why does it

[29:20]not like yeah blow around this is very small and quaint you're so stupid matt rolling going how's

[29:26]it going with you oh i'll try to speed through this here we're getting the speed it up sign so

[29:30]we'll uh see what i got um i i just got notes tonight yeah i want to get going i don't want

[29:39]to get i don't want to get the fingers

[29:40]shaked at me so let's see i did a lot of things since we last talked um i need to do i watched

[29:46]the the full four seasons of hip-hop evolution which if anybody has any any musical uh you know

[29:56]just like the the smallest little tiniest bit of uh you know love of music you have to watch this

[30:03]it is absolutely fascinating so where can somebody watch this um oh wait no i mean

[30:10]netflix you know so you can watch on netflix uh i told joe i'd get a few drops in here

[30:16]by someone famous are we talking like a ken burns or what's the who's producing this some dude i

[30:22]don't i don't remember the guy's name i probably should know it but the guy does a very good job

[30:26]of interviewing like every single uh rapper that has ever been somewhat influential and he goes

[30:33]deep and he finds like he talks like the very first hip-hop party ever in new york and rosie

[30:38]probably knows what these places are but i don't know if he's ever been in a hip-hop party

[30:40]but you know kind of how it goes from new york and then it goes out to la and back to new york

[30:43]and then down south and then to detroit and then you know he does a great job of it and i think it

[30:49]started out as like a one season thing and then it won a peabody award that's how i found out about

[30:54]it so you're a peabody expert we are yeah we have a peabody expert on so i that's what i just said

[31:00]here don't copy what i say ever again and i also noticed by the way aaron you're not laughing at

[31:04]my jokes as much you need to pick that shit up stop saying what i'm saying and start laughing at

[31:07]my jokes more yeah i've noticed that too there's a lot of people who are laughing at my jokes

[31:10]people not laughing at your jokes as much matt you're matt start laughing what the fuck no matt

[31:16]doesn't laugh at the jokes trust me i edit this i can tell when matt laughs uh matt so you're the

[31:21]peabody expert so keep going yeah thanks i appreciate it there's two apologies i need

[31:27]so we asked on miles davis the somebody said well where do we see jazz in um you know everyday life

[31:33]now or music now and our my dumb ass you know didn't realize and you know like raheem

[31:40]from eric and raheem who will come up on i don't know somewhere in the late uh you know before we

[31:46]get to 100 he's got an album and he said look i played jazz all growing up all i do when i'm doing

[31:52]my rhymes is trying to feel i feel i'm feeling like i'm playing jazz music when i you know that's

[31:58]all i hear in my head is jazz music and i'm just trying to go along with the rhythm and the rhyme

[32:02]of the jazz music so that's my you know for not understanding that realizing that i mean that's

[32:07]just dumb of us to not realize that that's kind of

[32:10]apologize for our listeners apologize hold on i got another apology you're talking about the

[32:15]connection between hip-hop and jazz you're saying that they're they're very yeah yeah yeah you know

[32:20]and i think that too man and i think it was me who was kind of talking about all the you know

[32:24]there's all these samples all over the place and again my dumb ass ignorant didn't realize that the

[32:29]whole hip-hop culture is based off of sampling that's the whole that's the where the whole thing

[32:36]came from it's like the uh you know it's just it's

[32:40]the lifeblood of the hip-hop world right like they started by finding these old albums and

[32:44]kind of changing them and of all these machines and everything and so i uh again it's ignorant

[32:52]of us not to realize where that's at you know i think i was like oh geez why they always sample

[32:56]that's where they get all of their beats and um it's just it's crazy to hear the stories in that

[33:01]that uh docuseries about how these guys would go to like these record sales at these hotels

[33:08]like once a month i think it's a

[33:10]is it the roosevelt in new york or something like that and it would open up at eight o'clock

[33:15]and they would talk like guys would get so crazy that one of them would go and he'd purposely he

[33:20]lived in new york but he'd get a room in the hotel for the night before and purposely get up at five

[33:24]o'clock to get down there while everybody's setting up and get in there early and stuff

[33:28]and they talk about like you'd go there and you'd see every major uh beat maker what's the right

[33:37]term rosie dj you know

[33:40]producer yeah producer you know these producers you know every single one of them was in there so

[33:44]they had all these old pictures of you've got like q-tip next to all these other guys and it's like

[33:49]holy cow you know this that was the place to be yeah well but yeah but think about it because

[33:53]their goal was to find records that other people didn't know about right to find those unique beats

[33:58]yep and so they were talking yeah and so i think it you know again uh i i need an actual apology

[34:06]i'm don't play the clip rob because it was our ignorant i don't want to play the clip rob

[34:10]my ignorant ass for not understanding how that worked you know but watching that i understand a

[34:14]lot more peabody award i went and uh you know realized that um childish gambino we talked

[34:19]about him last episode or two episodes last episode and so been getting into childish gambino

[34:25]uh found the song this is america and watch the video for the first time i am super late to this

[34:32]um phenomena i guess you could call it but anybody who has not seen the video go watch it

[34:38]that should win a peabody award

[34:40]by itself let alone uh you know everything else that that guy does so childish gambino

[34:45]he's a genius um what else is full on repenting um and then finally i my wife sarah found this

[34:55]clip and rob we got to get uh over to the clip of i don't know just why just 51 seconds i think

[35:00]it was on jimmy kimmel show but you got to just hear the story billy eilish and uh one of her

[35:04]favorite famous songs and how and how uh it was constructed so let's just just listen

[35:10]to this clip here this is a crosswalk what is crosswalk so we were we've toured australia a

[35:15]couple times which is really beautiful and um in sydney and melbourne when you stand at a street

[35:19]light and you press the the button all the time oh yeah i mean so you press it over and over yeah

[35:23]and you hear so when you're on a street corner in australia you press the button and then when it

[35:28]when the walk sign turns on you hear this like rhythmic sound that i that i love and that billy

[35:33]loved and so we recorded it and it sounds like this

[35:40]it's got like it's it's got it like uh like australia you hear that i do like that song

[35:44]sounds like robin all right so then you use that for the song bad guy yeah the thing people think

[35:49]are hi-hats and bad guy is actually just that

[35:51]here's the how about that hold up what does he that doesn't sound anything like a hi-hat

[36:04]rob you're gonna have to i don't know hi-hat sound he's full of shit if you if you watch the

[36:08]clip if you watch the clip so you're

[36:10]your buddy who's the drummer your buddy is the quest love is the drummer for they they show him

[36:16]and he is like his mind is blown because all of a sudden he's like whoa no way you know how'd you

[36:21]get so it kind of just goes back to the whole sampling thing like you just find you find

[36:24]i'm wrong i i already admit i'm wrong if he's down with that i'm down with it

[36:29]yeah this dumb podcast has got me watching and listening to so many dumb things that i would

[36:34]never normally care about and now i'm like making all these connections oh my god it's terrible

[36:40]it's like one of those it's like the stuff we learned about in school like music's everywhere

[36:43]right like if you just listen that's awesome i never learned that in school aaron that sounds

[36:47]like you went to some hippie school music is everywhere i never once had a teacher say that

[36:52]to me you went to the wrong school that's all i got on my list rob i did go to the wrong school

[36:57]that was our motto uh blank high school the wrong school you brought up you rolling going how's it

[37:04]going did you uh do anything exciting this weekend i will tell you what we better get that that my

[37:10]my power lifting did go pretty well i have to say but more importantly you dumb shits i told you

[37:20]track of when we're gonna have an episode coming out around easter and all i got in replies in the

[37:40]episode around easter and you guys were like no don't worry about easter it's not a big deal well

[37:57]guess what now we missed it this this is coming out like two weeks after easter this is a disaster

[38:01]you guys still don't understand what i'm talking about do you no clue i don't even know when easter

[38:06]is i'm not gonna lie right i didn't know it was

[38:09]like next week or something the other yes not this weekend not this week my next the only reason i

[38:14]knew that is like yeah why is we why why is it important it's because we got to talk about oh

[38:19]my god we're talking about things on the podcast that people want to like talk about okay i know

[38:24]you guys want to talk about easter weird neighborhood stuff or like clicking sounds

[38:28]out of thing we other people are talking about easter we need to be in like the mind space we

[38:33]should be doing this like they just had you know what do you know what podcast you're you're on

[38:37]are you sure you're yes i do unfortunately

[38:39]that's a problem and that's why i'm going to ask you guys now by the way easter is such a pain in

[38:43]the ass for parents i just want to say that right now once again i understand when my parents were

[38:46]always so mad when i was growing up do you know how many fucking times i've bought plastic eggs

[38:50]what the hell is my problem how can i not get my shit together and just save the plastic eggs from

[38:55]year to year every year i'm buying like 50 plastic eggs and then you have to put like a star toys

[39:00]anyway we were playing we were playing with plastic toys on the plastic eggs on the beach

[39:04]last weekend like they just end up as santos usually they just end up aaron's like turtles

[39:09]he's like these plastic eggs oops i guess that one broke too daddy that's twisty turtles swimming

[39:18]upside down yeah don't worry about that yeah i was gonna ask you guys though easter what is your

[39:22]favorite easter candy and everybody shut up because the answer is cadbury eggs cadbury eggs are by far

[39:28]the best candy gross i hands down what the fuck russell gross when i go to a duane reed now i

[39:34]literally gain like 10 pounds during easter because every time i go i'm like oh it's just one little

[39:38]egg and like an egg to me

[39:39]sounds healthy i think it's because we grew up in the time where the for some reason people were

[39:43]paying money to have egg ads on tv remember that egg ad where they're like eggs they're good for

[39:47]you and i was like the incredible edible egg cadbury egg and i'm like yum yum and then you

[39:53]actually think about what's in it it's just sugar on top of sugar on top of sugar russell what is

[39:56]your favorite easter candy if you don't like eggs i'm not a huge easter candy guy i'll go for one of

[40:02]the dark chocolate chocolate bunnies or some of the worst easter candy has to be the peeps

[40:07]like i know little kids love peeps but as an

[40:09]adult if you can eat more than half a peep you've got you deserve to be put in a padded room there

[40:15]is something wrong with you if you're an adult and you can eat more than one peep right russell's

[40:20]nightmare somebody get on the plane next to him and eat opening up a hot peep that smells really

[40:25]bad then eats it right in front of russell's russell's just going crazy your your answer

[40:28]for your favorite easter candy russell let's be clear about this is just dark chocolate bunnies

[40:33]i'm gonna take i'm gonna i'm gonna switch it up a little bit i'm gonna take the little eggs

[40:36]that are like the nestle crunch eggs so it's a little chocolate bunny and i'm gonna take the

[40:39]egg with a little bit of a little bit of crunch in there now aaron i'm sure you like black jelly

[42:09]because rob's gonna try to to segue but we've not specifically congratulated rob for setting an

[42:16]american record in the squat this past weekend and you can edit it out if you want but i'm proud

[42:21]of you as fuck congratulations rob rob for our listeners give us the third the third high level

[42:27]overview of what what did you accomplish this weekend other than other than that whole anise

[42:31]yeah my anise was my anise came like inside out after doing this by the way but uh the uh i squatted

[42:39]one pounds which is a new american record for my age that's so much weight holy shit

[42:44]well it's i mean if you do like by body weight it's actually not that much for me but are you

[42:49]are you drug tested or are there other people that are not tested that can lift more or not

[42:54]so i did get drug tested after this so a guy took me back at the first time ever so a guy took me

[42:59]back in the bathroom and he was like well now i have to watch you pee right and so first of all

[43:04]it's hard to pee when you're just have a full erection like you know how it is like you have

[43:08]to like calm it down first

[43:09]first of all i was like okay you know me and this guy in the bathroom i gotta calm down a little bit

[43:15]but then i literally like i had trouble peeing and i had been drinking water because i was like i bet

[43:20]i am gonna get drug tested i've been drinking water like crazy getting ready for this and not

[43:25]only could i not pee with this guy watching me first of all i had to like bring my singlet down

[43:29]and it was like tugging up like under like onto my taint kind of and i think that was like stopping

[43:34]it was like kinking the hose you know what i mean but then i want to remind you guys you asked about

[43:39]this and then i had to like bring my singlet down and it was like tugging up like under like onto my

[43:39]taint and then there were like four guys who came in the bathroom while i was waiting and of course

[43:46]i'm so stressed out i'm trying to pee like everybody's waiting everybody wants to go home

[43:49]i can hear them giving out the awards and they have to like wait for me because i'm trying to

[43:53]piss into this well and they're coming they're coming into the bathroom and you're the famous

[43:56]guy who just set the record too exactly yeah exactly and meanwhile you can imagine how large

[44:01]your penis is after doing something like that and you have to wear briefs during this so it's all

[44:05]like stuffed in there and it's it's going full bird's nest and then you're like oh my god i'm

[44:09]every single guy that came in had the strongest stream of urine you've ever heard in your entire

[44:17]life like it was humiliating like four guys in a row they'd come in and you would think they're

[44:22]just like horses it sounded like they were taking like liters of smart water and just dumping them

[44:27]into the toilet i couldn't believe it it sounded like they were filling a child's swimming pool

[44:32]outside and meanwhile i was like trying to dribble some out like it was just so it was absolutely

[44:39]humiliating so did eventually you provide the sample yeah of course i mean yeah well i get it

[44:45]have you gotten your results back yet do we know if this is a legit lift or no they have not but i

[44:50]will say this if i am on steroids like if i'm taking steroids i need to find new steroids like

[44:55]whatever steroids i'm taking for the grape nuts and steroids they are not very good

[44:58]sir you tested incredibly high for cadbury eggs

[45:03]is that illegal no it's just disgusting we

[45:09]wanted to tell you we're worried actually worried about your health your nougat concentration is

[45:13]10 parts per milliliter yeah exactly all right so let's get into everybody's least favorite segment

[45:20]by the way i have listened to this segment a number of times when i'm editing and i realize

[45:24]it is terrible so i'm going from three things to the album to now it is going to be three sentences

[45:28]about the album i'm shorting it down eventually this will get cut out but we're talking about

[45:33]back to black so i just want to give you three sentences as an update on this album as an update

[45:37]you fucking idiot rob as a overview of this album i'm going to give you three sentences as an update

[45:39]of the album basically this whole thing is about her she broke up with this guy who eventually

[45:44]became her husband uh and this was written right after that breakup and so a lot of it is just her

[45:48]heartbreak uh her she had an album she only had two albums right amy winehouse obviously a tragic

[45:54]figure she only had two album the first album was called frank which just a great i i love that name

[46:00]for an album i think it's great but if you listen to it it was very very like jazz oriented her

[46:05]playing guitar jazz chords on guitar and kind of singing you know kind of elephant

[46:09]fitzgerald over top of it sounds great i love the sound of it but this album was so big that they

[46:15]actually credit this for kind of a soul explosion in um britain including uh adele which is probably

[46:21]the most famous example all right that was three sentences how dare you i see you over there counting

[46:28]on your fingers count count this finger right here it's stubby little finger there look at that thing

[46:35]my thumb out oh it hurts my hands a bit look at that

[46:39]though i do have you know what i've been really thinking about this since that episode

[46:42]this is what it looked like now when i take this middle finger and i put it down this is what it

[46:47]looked like me trying to be into that cup except it's more like this more pinky and the guy's like

[46:53]you can't be in this cup that's pathetic and i was like you normally it works i'm just nervous

[46:57]right now i'm trying some new medication you know that'll be uh so let's talk about the album let's

[47:09]it's another short one right only like what 34 minutes that's what the guy at my drug test said

[47:14]i'm really not very professional he was commenting he's like i know you're not

[47:24]on steroids because your dick is very short but your balls are so big like it doesn't make any

[47:28]sense

[47:28]rehab

[47:35]i said no

[47:39]i mean this is the song that i uh you know when i think of amy whitehouse i think of this song

[47:46]this came out it was like nothing else i think anybody's i mean it was a wholly unique song in

[47:53]itself so i think this is what i think of why you think of amy whitehouse and of course listening to

[47:58]it now like it's such an upbeat song like i when this song came out i was like oh this is fun this

[48:02]is great and then i think we all watched that movie amy that's kind of documentary about it it's

[48:09]really and when you watch that and then listen to this album it is just so hard to listen to her

[48:14]talk about what eventually is going to be your self-destruction right like it's it's tough yeah

[48:19]yeah i always i always just enjoyed listening to this music i mean we'll talk about the backing

[48:23]band and the production it's great her voice is great she's shouting out donny hathaway already

[48:28]but i never listened to the words enough and she says later in this track

[48:33]i never want to drink again i only need a friend and at that point i was like i'm

[48:39]done i'm finished i will listen to this for this podcast and i'm never listening again it just was

[48:44]a dagger to the heart i've never i've never been a big amy winehouse fan admittedly i've heard a few

[48:49]of these songs but i didn't even know they were amy winehouse songs so i've heard i've heard this

[48:52]song but i had no idea who's singing just because i'm not really into music and when i started

[48:58]listening i know these songs and i texted you guys multiple times i'm like how like matt was talking

[49:04]about steely dan or something like how can you listen to that when you have this amazing album

[49:08]and i was listening i was listening to this album and i was listening to this album and i was listening to

[49:09]it and i was so into this and then you matt suggested checking out the the netflix movie

[49:14]or whatever it is amy and i watched that and it just made me listen to this whole thing in a whole

[49:19]new light it is so you just tragic and the demons involved there and then like the the media just

[49:26]covering and making fun of her going through all these issues it was so so hard to watch

[49:31]and it makes you look at this or listen to this through a whole different lens so for those for

[49:35]anybody that doesn't know amy winehouse did die of an overdose or i mean overdosed

[49:39]or alcohol poisoning poisoning like three years after this album came out which is why this was

[49:43]the last studio album of hers at 27 right yeah just just a tragic story we've had a lot of tragic

[49:51]stories on this on this list but this is probably the the big one because a it happened like when

[49:56]we were in high school right so it's something that we all knew about and uh and i think b like

[50:02]you way after that right yeah way after that yeah it took me a while seven or something oh it took

[50:08]me a while guys

[50:09]i was hanging i was hanging out you know she died in 2011 yeah i was hanging guys just because i was

[50:16]hanging out in my letter jacket by the trophy case but she was singing about it this whole album if

[50:20]you listen now as a cry for help every yeah song has something where she's telling you like i'm not

[50:26]doing well you know i do not recommend watching this documentary if you are a dad because once

[50:30]again like so many of these female kind of ingenues the the dad is the problem because he's like

[50:37]literally in the song she goes

[50:39]i asked my dad if i should go to rehab and he's like no and of course the reason is guess who was

[50:43]making money off of amy winehouse yeah the dad it's another berenstein bears effect where it's

[50:47]like dumb dad i'm dumb the worst part of that is she she's finally getting away she goes to some

[50:53]island and she's relaxing with some friends and she's trying like to get back on track and her

[50:58]dad shows up with like a camera crew because he's making a documentary about himself and you're like

[51:03]you piece of shit just come on look out for someone else in your life it's

[51:09]ultimately it's her responsibility but man there's a lot of people involved that did not

[51:14]make it any easier right i i mean like i we hear this all the time i mean i'm just thinking off the

[51:20]top of my head right like joe jackson jackson five yeah i think like britney spears's dad right i mean

[51:25]like yes it happens all the time i don't know if uh um there's a bunch of them yeah you're right

[51:31]to say i know what you're saying but like it's just it's not her fault that her parents are

[51:37]like this and you weren't saying this russell so i'm not trying to say that yeah

[51:39]but like you know a lot of it was i mean you're just stuck and you you have an outlet here and

[51:45]again to your guys point every every song is a cry for help right yeah it's like the only way you can

[51:52]she can express it because everybody else around her is like making money off her and said oh keep

[51:55]going and here here's the outlet that it's finally coming out of yeah so by the way i do want to take

[52:00]this moment to promote my new podcast it's called beck did a better junior it's me and my two kids

[52:04]uh we're talking about records uh we do a lot of things we do a lot of things we do a lot of things

[52:09]actually after we record this podcast it usually starts about one in the morning on friday

[52:13]a lot of crying i have to edit out but it's actually get that content it's all about the

[52:18]content yeah listen speaking of good let's talk about you know i'm no good oh this is a crusher

[52:24]there's a ghost face remix of this that i love too so this is just me kind of spitballing so

[52:34]she references roger moore who's the bond guy right yes this sounds like a bond type song

[52:39]doesn't it doesn't this sound like a 007 type song you guys the chances of her at some point

[52:44]singing a bond song would have been 100 if she yeah if she would have kept going i mean there's

[52:50]no doubt adele did it yeah she would have sang it over adele i think oh yeah there are a bunch of

[52:56]you're right throughout the whole album there's a bunch of references that are like very british

[52:59]things that maybe you caught them on the fourth or fifth listen but i think that this album you

[53:09]know to their heart because there's stuff that we missed that's just part of slang that we don't

[53:12]even know and to that point the next song i love fish and chips right yeah she says it right i have

[53:19]bad teeth okay oh that's too matt was just saying that that wasn't part of doesn't she say something

[53:25]about chips and bitter i i gotta i gotta make it a joke mind the gap in and you know i'm no good

[53:33]she does there's that whole line about uh there's another shrimp on the bobby whole section about you

[53:39]know i'm upstairs with my ex-man and he's in a place but i can't get joy and then you know

[53:43]thinking about you in my last throes that's when my buzzer goes that's the best euphemism for

[53:48]orgasm we've heard in the first 33 albums like that's outstanding the writing here is so good

[53:53]that's weird because when i hear real orgasms in real life usually the buzzing stops after that

[53:58]there you go it's clever it's clever it's a good joke also i have to i think that was a good joke

[54:09]all right so here's the deal is that that song was about her um basically cheating on the guy

[54:15]what she did she talked about how she like ended up cheating on this guy to really put a total dagger

[54:20]in the relationship because they kept going back and forth and she was like i needed to sleep with

[54:23]one of his friends to make sure it was over all right guys you know what i've heard about hanging

[54:28]with mr jones but me and mr jones and mr jones what kind of fuck just kill it here we go yes

[54:39]yeah that is the best ever what an opening line yes the backup singers

[54:44]i mean when you hear the doo-wop about slick rick it's so great

[54:49]and and this song apparently is about aaron correct me is it naz yeah naz i didn't know

[54:57]it was about naz that's it is nasir jones is his real name naz is who it's about aaron

[55:02]were they dating or what why is it is it about i think they were dating friends kind of something

[55:08]in between but

[55:09]yeah that it's about naz aaron everyone said they do share a producer salam remi is a producer

[55:14]on a lot of these tracks and he produced naz's album godson so that's probably salam remi you

[55:20]guys know what else he produced when i was listening i was reading a little bit about

[55:24]salam remi and he worked with the fujis uh wyclef a lot of really great acts but you know who else

[55:31]he worked with you guys remember the song the hot stepper by aini kamozi yes he was the producer for

[55:39]this song check this song out i don't know he produced this one i knew he was a really good guy

[55:43]but i was like i don't care what you say about the fujis album this is the jam by this guy it's

[55:49]a straight up jam man is this uh is any kamozi is he on this list somewhere this song is better

[55:56]than any song we've listened to that's a no

[55:59]are we doing i know what bo don't know are we doing a salam remi list russell i've thought

[56:07]about it but we decided not to because we're not going to do it because we're not going to do it

[56:09]because i just wanted to focus on aini kamozi the whole time i saw him once and i said are you

[56:12]really the hot stepper and he goes yeah look at this and he poured milk all over his feet he's

[56:16]like my feet are burning i'm the hot stepper excuse me i wanted to say about salam remi is

[56:22]that he got to start playing keyboards for curtis blow who curtis blow update he is out of the

[56:27]hospital with his heart transplant he's doing better now yep yeah i saw him okay i start

[56:32]curtis blow i said how are you doing he goes oh look at my heart it's great that he poured milk

[56:36]all over his chest he's like ah it's so good it feels good this is a normal thing

[56:39]to do do you hear how weird it sounds aaron when i say that to other people pouring milk

[56:42]on their body to cure things you understand what i'm saying here there's also a youtube

[56:46]video of salam remi telling a story about what's the most famous song from the fujis what's the

[56:51]matt help me out here what's the lauren hill song ready or not ready or not or one of those two

[56:58]songs one of the most famous ones and supposedly why clef called him and asked him about what they

[57:04]should do with the song and he told him and then why clef stole it and he never got credit for it

[57:09]oh really killing me softly maybe do you guys remember back on the bully when people used to

[57:13]harmonize like this it's killing me softly is the one that oh shoot i don't have that one all good

[57:19]i was ready all right let's talk about guys just like this is way too personal this next let's just

[57:28]let's just take a pause real quick yes why why is his is it says salam remi is that what we're

[57:39]fuck it up no it's salam remi yeah did i is that what we were saying and i just had it wrong in my

[57:44]head am i am i having an episode here sorry yeah i think we've been correct you guys were saying

[57:50]i'll tell you what i will listen back okay i will rewind the tape let me rewind the tape right

[57:56]actually let me rewind the tape right now i pour milk on my face wow i went too far

[58:01]no interesting thing man i've read an interview with him his name is salam remi gibbs

[58:07]yeah his dad was

[58:09]a music uh executive last name of gibbs so he didn't want to go by gibbs but remi comes from

[58:15]doer do remi he's named after the first three notes of the uh musical scale maybe maybe we

[58:21]screwed it up i don't think we were i'll i don't think if it is i'll keep that in as an apology

[58:25]that's what i was thinking just somebody pulling up right now it's salam remi we're good no but

[58:29]we can't no aaron you don't fucking get it we can't remember what we said earlier if we were

[58:33]saying remi salam or salam ready uh all right so let's talk about guys

[58:39]hey stop laughing at me when we talk about the name of this song this is terrible like hey this

[58:45]is too personal i'm gonna talk about this reminds me of my dvd collection just the episodes of just

[58:50]friends okay i don't know how to at least it's not about yeah that's better it's like a ska song

[58:57]isn't it yeah well yeah yeah for sure uh russell you you set me right up i wanted to say about this

[59:04]song this is this is to me it's interesting to me that this album is directly after limited on the

[59:09]list because they both have this reggae influence to them and they're also albums that were backed

[59:17]by a lot of star power and great producers and i love on this song that they just they nailed the

[59:21]horn sound they nailed every sound it sounds like a 70s reggae cover of a soul tune they just did

[59:27]all of their homework it's a great detail am i the only person that accidentally listened to

[59:31]the deluxe version for a week and a half on this and then realized today that half the songs that

[59:36]i thought were amazing like valerie monkey man and all these songs that i thought were amazing

[59:39]were not actually on the album yes it's in the maytals cover no i'd listen to those that deluxe

[59:44]version's got some fun covers on it oh i love toots in the maytals so good aaron don't laugh at this

[59:49]but we got a titular track here back to black

[59:52]listen to this

[59:57]i'll say every song on this album sounds exactly the same to me in my mind but i love the song i

[60:07]think it's such a unique

[60:09]like it's it's this weird like modern doo-wop how would you describe this music

[60:14]i think when i was reading about it to me this is the producer's attempt to kind of replicate

[60:22]that wall of sound like the phil specter thing right you've got all these things coming at it

[60:27]and i was actually listening and the thing that jumped out to me was kind of that there's a piano

[60:31]and it's an electric piano and it's actually a whirlitzer have you guys ever heard of a

[60:36]piano before the electric piano i've

[60:39]heard the term but i have to say i don't know what it means exactly so the the the main difference

[60:43]between a whirlitzer and an acoustic piano is that an acoustic piano it strikes um strings right

[60:49]but a whirlitzer strikes metal reeds like a reed like a like a flat thing like a reed for an

[60:56]instrument and so i started thinking i wonder what the greatest whirlitzer piano songs ever were

[61:02]so i've got a list for you guys of the greatest whirlitzer piano songs ever so check out this list

[61:07]i'm excited about that

[61:08]i can imagine for us just sitting around russ is on a date he's like have you ever thought about

[61:14]what the greatest rule of two songs are and the woman's like i need to go to the bathroom and you

[61:18]hear a car speed away wait you're mocking this this is my a material rob what are you talking

[61:23]about i'm so stoked hey you want to be talking about making fun of people that have rabbits as

[61:29]pets okay well next time you're on a date tell somebody hey do you want to see my whirlitzer

[61:32]and see what happens i think one of the cool things about the whirlitzer is though it has this sound

[61:37]which kind of is very similar to the whirlitzer it has this sound which kind of is very similar to

[61:38]60s and 70s rock and r&b and a lot of these songs on amy winehouse's album kind of call back to that

[61:45]right and so i think the first the first song on the list is ray charles what i say and if you

[61:52]remember in the first song amy winehouse references hanging out with ray and that's a reference to ray

[61:58]charles so check out this song in the whirlitzer i love the sound of this

[62:05]i didn't know this was

[62:08]it is this was in 1959

[62:12]same year as kind of and it's atlantic records greatest selling song of all time

[62:19]why is this sound so much worse recording wise than kind of blue

[62:23]like why does that sound so clear and that that ray charles sounds on so muffled

[62:28]probably has to do with money right probably has to do with who the engineer was i will also say

[62:33]i cannot listen to ray charles without having flashbacks of listening to that terrible ray

[62:37]charles album on that last day

[62:38]country western songs by ray charles i was like how did this make the list

[62:43]the interesting thing about that song was actually banned by the radio because there's

[62:48]comments if you guys remember that song where he's talking with the backup singers they're kind of

[62:52]like taking it from church and it was considered too erotic and it was banned from the radio all

[62:58]over the country i was wondering why my pants came off during that time now i know it's too

[63:02]erotic that's why that's why rob shouldn't listen to it before his p test next song on the list

[63:08]next song on the list and you guys remember this one do you guys remember

[63:12]i never loved a man by aretha check this whirlitzer out here

[63:16]oh right and this is the magic chord she gets that chord right from the start yeah

[63:22]and this is the song where she essentially became the queen of soul correct this is what did it for

[63:28]yeah i i think we should call this segment round the whirlitzer wait around the just for the record

[63:38]playing the whirlitzer on this it's someone named dewey spooner old ham and he also played on

[63:44]respect with aretha matt he played on harvest moon with neil young one of your favorite songs

[63:49]it's a good one that's a fun connection aaron he also played for one of your favorite brands he

[63:55]played on an album by the drive-by truckers called brighter than creations dark have you

[63:59]heard of this what yeah i've heard of that one russell you're just crushing this whole thing

[64:03]this is amazing so the whirlitzer player with shout out his birthday russell what's the music

[64:08]that i like that this guy played on maybe maybe think about me i always get your bands confused

[64:13]the talking heads i didn't see that they played a talking head song so i skipped it

[64:17]there was a whirlitzer or two on what's going on with marvin gaye but we're gonna go a different

[64:24]route the next song on the list is marvin gaye i heard it through the grapevine you will recognize

[64:28]this immediately oh this is that song by those california raisins yeah wait marvin gaye covered

[64:37]this

[64:38]man so this was previously recorded by gladys knight and the temptations but marvin gaye is

[64:46]the one who really made it famous right that's the whirlitzer there's some controversy between

[64:52]behind that i think what's the controversy oh i think who who came out with it right or who

[64:57]i think gladys knight was first the temptations were second marvin gaye was third all within like

[65:02]a year now where do those raisins fit in by the way you guys didn't laugh enough at the california

[65:06]raisins that should be an automatic world

[65:08]is a fantastic sound but if you've ever heard the isolated marvin gaye vocals from that song it will

[65:12]just it'll put you off of singers for the rest of your life you want to you won't want to hear

[65:16]anything else maybe you didn't hear my intro song where i sounded just like amy winehouse and i

[65:21]sounded you sounded great rob i gotta that's impressive i was singing and i was like oh this

[65:25]is how i know amy winehouse is a very good singer because i sound like garbage trying to emulate her

[65:30]doing jimmy hendrix was much easier i'll just put it that way good man

[65:33]the next song on the list do you guys remember joy to the world or jeremiah

[65:38]was a bullfrog as it's also known oh yeah definitely check out the whorlitzer on this one

[65:42]1971 this is whorlitzer

[65:46]so this song was actually offered to the band steppenwolf weren't they weren't they bad to

[65:56]the bone or something like that yeah and they turned it down and it ended up going to i forgot

[66:02]the name of this band i don't have it written down anywhere three dog night three dog night so

[66:07]three dog

[66:07]night put this on their album as a last ditch song because they needed one more song and some

[66:13]radio station in seattle heard it played it and it completely blew up went to number one on the

[66:17]billboard it was a complete afterthought i do want to say we've talked with matt about best karaoke

[66:21]songs this might be the worst karaoke song you can ever pick the worst you have to hit that note

[66:28]you have to be able to hit this initial okay russell i want you to sing along with this initial

[66:33]oh no i don't okay i'm gonna try to sing along all right

[66:37]red leather yellow leather

[66:39]bumblebee bumblebee and i'm gonna cut out the music and you're just gonna hear me sing on the

[66:44]actual episode

[66:45]come on you can do this you're the best

[66:49]okay

[66:52]i was really trying to

[66:58]one more time

[67:01]one more try

[67:02]one more try

[67:04]okay i'm really trying here too

[67:06]all right

[67:07]you can do it

[67:08]okay my neighbors are gonna come over now

[67:13]i think we should all have to try once matt you're up next

[67:18]matt will you try once

[67:20]all right let's

[67:21]really good singer guys

[67:24]that was actually good that was legit good

[67:32]aaron you're up next

[67:33]oh shit okay this doesn't seem fair

[67:37]this is like oh bloody to me now

[67:40]jeremiah was a bullfrog

[67:45]okay russell

[67:46]okay i'm only doing one line please okay come on don't don't make it look bad

[67:52]by the way aaron sang that song for my wedding and he ruined it

[67:54]everybody's like why do you have jeremiah was a bullfrog as you're

[68:00]uh russell here you go

[68:04]uh

[68:05]this is the only one i've ever heard of

[68:07]only one that makes the final cut by the way i'm editing all the rest out

[68:10]jeremiah was a bullfrog

[68:14]okay so it turns out i'm actually the worst singer in this whole podcast

[68:19]i make all i make most of the parody songs that doesn't make any sense why are they called three

[68:23]dog night by the way has that ever been explained i actually do have a story for that you guys want

[68:27]to know why they're called three dog night no no thanks so it's actually an australian saying

[68:32]where when it's cold out you you sleep and the next day you

[68:37]you have to sleep with your dogs and if your friends ask you what kind of night was as

[68:41]you say it was a three dog night you had to cuddle up with your dogs

[68:44]i had some nights like that in college you know what i'm talking about

[68:47]there were never three of them though no there was most of them most of them i would pray for

[68:52]a one dog night most of them i had a two dog night with steve and zach in the same bed i'm

[68:56]the only person ever okay there we go let's not brag about that i mean humble brag right there

[69:04]lucky we got to get to the number

[69:07]one world it's your song ever and you know who it's by we're going to jump out of the 60s and

[69:11]70s and go to 96 the album is odelay back where it's at this is the world let's start checking out

[69:18]oh yeah this is just i i am a huge fan it turns out yeah right same i love every one of these

[69:28]songs and interestingly amy whitehouse played the world let's write her album nope

[69:32]who played it on this album

[69:36]so when it comes to playing the whirlitzer on hit albums who did it better back did it better

[69:44]that's not even a question russ that i think that might be your best list that you've ever

[69:49]come up with i love you like it i love the whirlitzer it turns out that's a great one

[69:53]it's so good uh just like when i play my kids in monopoly it turns out that it's a

[69:57]love is a losing guys i'm not doing this anymore okay i'm not making clever

[70:01]not even clever listen love is a losing game okay life is miserable this whole album is a

[70:06]depressing slog whatever it is try to be clever and fall short i don't know what the word term is

[70:11]for that i don't either because i've never done it this is where the dab king's never been there

[70:16]it's great when you listen to the deluxe version of this album there's a version with no audio

[70:21]with no instruments it's just acapella and that that version blows this version out of the water

[70:28]i don't know why they picked this one the other one is so much better it brings you to tears it's

[70:33]so good right don't do that to yourself it's too much

[70:36]this voice

[70:38]it's so good oof all right tears dry on their own

[70:45]such a gutsy move it is isn't it because when you hear this you're like

[70:53]oh ain't no mountain high enough this is gonna be awesome but she kind of pulls it off i don't

[70:58]it's not quite the same but i think she pulls it off i think i agree and she she turns it around

[71:05]into a different feeling for a

[71:06]song that's so familiar to everyone i got to admit i i kind of want to hear her say ain't no mountain

[71:12]higher enough i would love to hear her sing that i think it'd be so good yeah right here

[71:17]kicks down this just bangs russell i think this would be a good i i want to get everybody's

[71:26]opinion on this i think this would be a good car cd for picking up somebody on a date

[71:31]am i crazy for that i mean are you going out for drinks because that seems like maybe a question

[71:36]i don't know if somebody are you dating people that are smart enough to make that connection

[71:40]russell oh absolutely not all right i knew it oh this is only dating smart people come on now

[71:46]dude it took me like two weeks to realize i was listening to the wrong version of the album and

[71:54]then it took me it took me another week to watch the the netflix documentary about her and realize

[71:58]this wasn't as fun as i thought you were also talking to a guy who was listening to an entire

[72:02]beals album with one headphone on and wondering why everybody likes it so much so

[72:06]i didn't think we needed to bring that up again but no i've actually got a whole list here that's

[72:10]my next rolling going is all the things russell's made a mistake with all right just kidding i'm

[72:14]gonna get that with my mom when i see her next week speaking of russell's terrible life here

[72:18]comes the next song wake up alone we just move it on and end this i've known that joke was coming

[72:25]all week and i didn't know how to prepare for it i'll i'll make it you don't have to make it

[72:30]this is my wife waking up alone when i sneak out to the living room before work

[72:35]i read that she did this in one take that's pretty crazy huh yeah so this i mean literally

[72:42]all these songs are about this guy that she did end up marrying who turns out was kind of a piece

[72:47]of trash but can you imagine somebody writing an album like this about you it would be incredible

[72:54]wouldn't it like i nobody would ever date me or be with me and then write an album about it

[72:59]right they would write an album called like you know like what's that what smells like mulch

[73:05]you know what i mean like anise yeah like no they would not write it well maybe they would write a

[73:10]song called the others we should talk more about doing things in a single take when we did uh

[73:15]he sweats when he sleeps you're right that like it's incredible she did this in one take and

[73:20]that's what jazz musicians did every night they had to go in and rob talked about it you got to

[73:24]do the whole thing live underwear on the floor that would be a song from the album written about

[73:29]me underwear in the dog's gut yeah that whole thing he doesn't wash his sheets you know stuff

[73:35]like that like that would have been a very popular song about me in college

[73:37]naked peloton writer no that's a good question like i'm not song i would write

[73:44]how many times you guys think you washed your sheets in college matt probably did his on the

[73:49]regular but i don't i mean i was like a monthly guy maybe no i don't know oh matt's mom probably

[73:54]let's not claim monthly i don't i don't think there's any college kid in the world any college

[73:58]dude who can claim monthly sheet washing probably no chance no well yeah i mean i think maybe every at

[74:04]least every two months because you you started out then you had like fall break it's probably

[74:10]you need a break you need some sort of like thanksgiving and then you have christmas

[74:13]and then you have j term yeah i don't want to think about it this is this is the impetus of

[74:18]matt's mom doing the laundry he would just come back from college and be like hey man i got this

[74:23]laundry uh she doesn't do the laundry she just folds the laundry you do the laundry you say that

[74:29]a suspicious amount i'm starting to think maybe she does do the laundry i will say russell that

[74:33]makes me feel so much better though because i always thought i was a weirdo for not washing

[74:37]my sheets very much in college but now i realize we're all weirdos well at least we weren't doing

[74:42]anything weird and smell emanating in those beds at that time all right some unholy war

[74:47]smell emanating

[74:50]someone shout out the the guitarist on this whole album there's some really

[74:59]good guitar work and it must be uh is this binky griptite from the dab kings who's playing guitar

[75:03]on this or is it somebody else excuse me excuse me okay now listen we can't just say whatever

[75:09]we want on this podcast we have to have some morals okay you cannot say griptite did you just

[75:16]say dinky griptite binky everybody knows guitar for the dab yeah oh because i was going to say

[75:22]dinky dinky griptite was what the guy said to me when i was getting a drug test

[75:26]i'm sorry you're right i i you guys are saying binky i know binky everybody knows binky dinky

[75:33]stop your grip's too tight nothing's going to come out with that tight grip

[75:40]he can rob rob what he asked you if you could help did you say no you can only hold her

[75:46]would he ask if he could help you

[75:50]that would be great if you listen to this song this is badass

[76:03]there's a few uh there's a few live performances where the dap kings are with her you know like i

[76:08]think i'm trying to think of some oh well is it what's the is it glas to me gloucester what's the

[76:15]festival over in england i don't remember is that a festival you know so they've got the whole

[76:21]fish and chips dap kings they're all dressed in their black suits and their ties and they just

[76:26]they've got everything down to a science and they've got all the dance moves and everything

[76:30]and it is a live show that would be awesome to go to yeah do you think does she have a positive

[76:36]legacy as a live performer because when you watch the documentary there's a lot of a lot

[76:41]of live performances where she showed up and was not in the mental emotional physical position to

[76:46]be performing where she's getting booed off stage she's not performing like what is her legacy as a

[76:52]live performer matt i i think her legacy in general is is unfortunately her demise right like that's

[76:58]her yeah like i mean her legacy is her life performance i think her legacy in general is is unfortunately her demise right like that's her yeah like i

[77:00]mean like you said i didn't know a lot about these other amy winehouse songs until i listened to this

[77:04]album unfortunately i what i know about her is what i heard you know like on late night talk

[77:10]shows where they're literally making fun of somebody with the substance abuse problems and

[77:13]then it's like it's brutal isn't it when you watch the documentary it's brutal to see someone

[77:17]struggling with so much and that it's a punchline for comedians it's oh it's just content for the

[77:23]media it really sucks it's a it's just a friendly reminder and we can never get too many of them

[77:30]that you just don't know what other people have got going on absolutely in the background yeah

[77:33]just be nice just be a kind person yeah you guys stop being such dicks to me please i got

[77:38]a lot of fun i'm on spring break stop trying to blow out other people's candles so that your

[77:43]shines brighter you know just because you you might think that you're that your friends will

[77:49]take it and they're not going to go and cry after the podcast when you're making fun of them

[77:53]you know they might be so you have to be careful

[77:55]that was matt's smart comedy

[77:59]it was like russell's last date addicted to what the dick did you know what i'm talking about all

[78:09]right so we've got the best is the best is that joke about my dating life was the most positive

[78:16]joke out of like the 12 we've made so far these other terrible ones well that's that's also the

[78:20]only one i think we've made russell i think you made the other 11 jokes that's the problem i let

[78:24]you guys off the hook so i didn't you guys didn't have to violate matt's rule of making fun of someone

[78:29]and then having them cry i don't we don't want to blow out your candle russell here's the deal

[78:33]she wrote a song basically about how you shouldn't smoke all of her weed

[78:36]gotta give her credit for that song it's such a hard way to end the album

[78:42]i was listening to today and i was like lux version it doesn't end like this yeah no you're

[78:48]right russell you're totally right i listened to the deluxe version a lot too and you would

[78:51]like you would love hearing valerie and that other stuff this thing ends and you just go oh is this

[78:58]dope but there's not really a build right i mean literally every song is really really similar

[79:06]yeah oh i don't agree at all do you guys think they're all similar i don't think so at all

[79:10]i think you're saying you've got like sky you've got r b you've got soul you've got

[79:15]all sorts of stuff on this album boy i don't know

[79:17]i feel like they're all made to be played in a smoky jazz uh venue that can hold about 50 people

[79:27]you know i don't know that's what i pictured you know i i suppose like looking back to this list

[79:31]like if you go lemonade was kind of i think this is the problem with coming off a lemonade is that

[79:34]lemonade was so varied right but if you list and then white album that was pretty varied but like

[79:40]jimi hendrix you could say that's all kind of a very similar song wu-tang i think you could

[79:44]definitely say those are all pretty similar i i i don't know maybe it's maybe it's a dumb i i think

[79:48]you're both right because i think there are oh aaron coming in russell's 100 right that there are

[79:54]she's she and her team

[79:57]are pulling in many different styles of music but there is that mark ronson kind of put this sheen

[80:03]on the whole thing so there's definitely his fingerprints on it where the sound is similar

[80:11]throughout the whole album which isn't so different from other things we've heard but

[80:14]yeah it's definitely of a piece the whole the whole album i i love the idea of a doo-wop though

[80:19]where it's like you can so rosie has logged off and he has muted himself so this dumb has somehow

[80:25]pushed the one button you should not push when we're podcasting so let's all say

[80:30]things about rosie that we think right now i'm right here i'm totally okay i'm sorry

[80:34]so uh forget i said that okay that's getting edited out yeah from rosie i don't think you

[80:41]should actually edit this out it's actually quite funny that you said you're gonna edit it out and

[80:44]then you don't later guys let's get into everyone's favorite you know how favorite it is listen to it

[80:48]and now it's time for everyone

[80:53]we even made a siren in the song

[80:59]did it better reading system we had a second song

[81:03]one of the second song of lemonade oh yeah there's a siren oh yeah it's kind of buried in the mix

[81:12]though it's really down there so pull it back up play it real quick yeah second side just play

[81:17]because you've got them all right there don't you have all the list siren on here it sounds like it's

[81:21]underwater hold up they don't love you like i know i just want to hear it again no no no here comes

[81:25]what there's not a vuvuzela in here wait do you say vuvuzela yeah

[81:30]that's a vuvuzela i would say vuvuzela i've been saying it wrong my whole life

[81:37]what i thought we were i thought we were going to have to go through the whole thing where

[81:45]man was trying to find ourselves ever that episode wait wait here comes the round here comes the round

[81:51]by the way if you haven't listened to 56 hours of beck did it better you don't get that joke and

[81:55]you're not a real fan so fuck off oh if you don't know that joke we're glad that you didn't listen

[82:01]to that episode like number three or whatever it was like this isn't going to be a run everybody's

[82:08]like what is he saying who the fuck are our listeners anyways if they haven't listened to

[82:13]those episodes i wanted to listen to this podcast but i just could not get through episode one

[82:17]actually episode zero we

[82:21]episode zero what a baller move to do an episode zero so good all right what some people would call

[82:27]it let's get into the final rating system folks the rating system is not complicated it's actually

[82:34]quite cool and everybody loves it uh it is is it a rolling well toned that means it should be a

[82:41]33rd album on the list it's great it's awesome did it get rolling boned that means that it should

[82:47]have been lower than 32 now i know what you're thinking lower than 32 i don't know what you're

[82:51]thinking lower than 33 is that 34 35 no lower is a lower number so in this case we're actually

[82:56]doing some subtracting okay and not subtracting down the list we're actually subtracting up the

[83:01]list which makes sense to me if you're not uh if you're a pretty good math guy like i am or is this

[83:06]a rolling groan oh no i should i should have listened to this so soon this i should have

[83:11]listened to this next week or maybe the week after three weeks after five weeks after somewhere down

[83:15]lower on the list that's a rolling groan erin what do you think about this episode of the podcast

[83:21]i think if you think it's good that would be a rolling well tone just to remind you because i

[83:28]said that a while ago and i if you notice i didn't say a lot of stuff about rolling well toned

[83:32]i just let it go quickly this might be my favorite bit of the the whole day i think amy is an all-time

[83:39]great voice but i think that uh there are parts of this album that border on karaoke and i think

[83:46]in terms of the list karaoke uh the so just a few albums we haven't gotten to yet uh nina simone

[83:57]silken soul oh my god we haven't covered all the albums yet this is a lady soul aretha franklin

[84:04]young gifted in black i just for fun i listened to roberta flack first take this week that's a

[84:09]great album i know she's a russell's mom favorite al green let's stay together otis redding otis

[84:16]blue

[84:16]sam cook live at the harlem square i feel like we've kind of gone off on the side road of

[84:22]kind of meandering down erin's scenic drive here we go yeah i'm just going down my scenic drive

[84:27]of soul albums that i love that should have been ranked higher than this album so i i've enjoyed

[84:32]this album i probably won't listen to it again because it's so heartbreaking um but she is a

[84:37]fantastic voice but i gotta say rolling groan there's no way this is above those albums that

[84:41]i mentioned well and you had the same opinion about biggie right biggie and tupac you have

[84:45]trouble listening to them because

[84:46]you know how it ended it hurts yeah man it hurts it's hard i can't do it it's too tough

[84:51]yeah that's gonna be like people trying to listen to this podcast

[84:54]after they find out how it all ended none of us talk to each other anymore

[84:59]aaron's aaron's kid the only way he learns about aaron is through this

[85:03]listening to this podcast and he's humiliated to be aaron's spawn

[85:06]dad i can't believe you went through that whole phase with where you didn't like anise

[85:12]my dad doesn't like to eat anise all the millennials love to eat anise all night and day

[85:16]all right matt what do you think this album is a rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan

[85:22]um i just want to say that rob you're you're uh thank you for what you're about to say thank you

[85:27]i just want to say thank you your description of how all this works or if you wanted to be if you

[85:31]think it's rolling bone this should be higher than this so that's or lower but it's a higher

[85:35]number apparently that translates well to camera settings and so if you need to like focus out you

[85:42]need to move the number in and so sarah my wife has said that

[85:46]from your descriptions she's now a better photographer because she could focus better

[85:51]based on how you described everything so you're doing a public service uh by describing that

[85:57]every week so can i hire your wife to do a boudoir photo shoot for me would that be appropriate for

[86:01]me to do yeah no that'd be fine all right because i've got a couple i've got some ideas involving

[86:08]anise who my good unfortunately named friend anise yeah i

[86:16]you know for most of for most of the reasons that rosie said i think this is rolling groaned which

[86:22]means it's ranked too high should be lower on the list but have a higher number did i say that right

[86:27]yeah it's so you think it should be like 34 35 somewhere around well yeah or even way back you

[86:31]know for for that reason i think the list is made uh you know it's voted on by a lot of younger

[86:36]people now and so their their uh bias if you will is coming in they grew up with this album they've

[86:42]heard it this is one of their jams and so that's why it's up there so

[86:46]hi so no i think uh for the same reasons that rosie this is rolling groaned matt do you think

[86:51]if they when they redo this list in five years and it fucks us over once again do you think

[86:56]because we're still not done with this podcast do you think this is still going to be at 33

[87:00]no no it'll be like a justin bieber album or something at 33 and then we'll really have to

[87:05]have a discussion about it so russell rolling well-toned rolling boned or rolling grown

[87:11]i'm gonna go against the grain with you guys on this one when i listen to this

[87:16]first time admit i said this before i didn't know these were amy whitehouse songs i've never

[87:21]listened to amy whitehouse i just adored this album i thought it was fantastic and i was so

[87:28]into this and and i was saying i don't know how you guys are listening to anything else

[87:31]but part of me i've there are two things that have kind of changed my view of it a little bit

[87:35]the first is i was listening to the deluxe version so there were three songs valerie monkey band

[87:41]and the original demo version of love is a losing game which were three of my favorite songs

[87:46]but i i really loved it i at one point was ready to put this in my top five of what we've listened

[87:52]to on the top 35 or so far i was going to put it up there behind what's going on my beautiful

[87:57]dark twisted fantasy white album and purple rain in the top five wow but when i listened

[88:05]when i watched the movie the documentary and i saw like what is behind this it makes it really

[88:11]hard for me to listen back to it and enjoy it the way i was the first few times so but it's

[88:16]for me because i screwed up on the deluxe album and now i know all the meaning behind it i can't

[88:22]quite put it up in my top five but i still think it's rolling boned i think the album rocks i would

[88:26]much rather listen to this than a lot of the albums we've listened to so far and wrong you're

[88:31]all wrong this is a rolling tone of voice because i'll tell you right now every clip i played from

[88:38]this album was within the first five seconds of these songs and not because i'm lazy and i didn't

[88:42]want to find a good place in the song it was literally because i think the most powerful

[88:46]part of the album was the song that i listened to and i didn't want to find a good place in the song

[88:46]every song is when it went from this music to hearing this voice just pop out of the speakers

[88:52]and it literally was like staring into a blast furnace i mean you would feel like this heat of

[88:57]the voice coming off it's just so powerful and i and i think one great part in that in that movie

[89:02]is watching her sing with her idol tony bennett and you hear just how powerful she is i mean just

[89:07]yeah she when when she had it together she could just unload and it really if anything it makes

[89:13]you sad that we don't get to see more of her work coming out it would have been great to see

[89:16]what she could have ended up doing people people have to check out the documentary i think one of

[89:21]the the coolest and most heartbreaking parts was she wins the five grammys in the one night she's

[89:26]in london she's not in these states for it but tony bennett announces that she wins the grammy

[89:32]for best album or whatever and she she's just like overwhelmed and then she leaves the stage

[89:37]and she's talking to one of her like childhood friends and she's telling her like look this

[89:42]isn't even fun when you're not high and it is just like it goes from this

[89:46]amazing high to this amazing just kick in the gut and stomach and it is so tough to watch

[89:51]well it's a lot like our episodes we start off we start off with so much promise

[89:56]and then by the end you realize that the running joke was anise which we all knew from the very

[90:01]second i heard that that voicemail i was like well there's our running joke for the night don't need

[90:05]to look any farther and there's a good chance that on the next recording i'm going to play that

[90:09]voicemail again just to have the same joke over and over i think it's that good so congratulations
