[0:00]In 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the Order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts but we promise to do almost no Research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy back did it Better we're all the way up to album 34 inner visions by stevie wonder all right guys so i'll Tell you what we have talked about the song of the summer and i have decided that the only thing We can do is i've got to give you a live version of what i feel is going to be the probably the Greatest song of all time and see if you can tell what it was inspired by are you guys ready for This live version let's do it yeah unless it's unless it's really bad and then it's Going to get edited in as the pre-recorded version or post-recorded version in this case Because i did not do it today oh yeah laziness oh yeah all right here we go We talked started texting then we made a podcast yes we all said yeah we can crank them all out so

[1:00]Fast oh yeah we told everyone our family and our friends but now it seems that this podcast will Never end turns out it's actually tough most our episodes suck This podcast By now our download numbers would be soaring turns out it's hard when your podcast super Boring turns out it's more than chatting with your friends and rob's the only one who edits And posts to instagram Most our podcasts suck I think we all have plenty of ideas for rob to post on instagram he just is the one who

[2:00]Has to do it then i do not want to do it every time we text rob he just texts right over us Rob's responses are shitty i want to hear did anybody actually hear about this podcast via Our instagram account i cannot imagine it works like that because i i see all the other podcasts Instagram things that they post i just scroll right by i don't even bother looking i don't Care it could be a podcast instagram post that says robert blank this podcast is for you Listen to it it's going to help you get better life and i'd be like no yeah you know what i just

[3:00]Don't have time do you guys ever do that when people suggest podcasts to you where you're like Oh yeah oh i'm definitely gonna listen to that and you know you're just never ever gonna Listen my move is i'm big and i take a notepad and i write stuff down to make people Think i'm taking things seriously so anytime i get a book recommendation a podcast recommendation A tv show i grab a notepad and write it down because i'm like well man he wouldn't write It down if he wasn't going to listen to it and then i just rip that shit out and toss it away When they're not around that shit makes me laugh so hard that you'd be like They look in your garbage can there's like a hundred rolled up things of notebook paper In the garbage can says like yellowstone on it no offense man all right listen i've got three Guys here who have kept texting me all week telling me about the oral roberts basketball Team i don't know what that's about but they seem really interested in what the joke is right there It's blow bob i've got matt minneapolis by the way that's not going to be dated when this comes Out in like four weeks i've got matt in minneapolis matt how are you doing Just great rob just great love these questions that we've started on the podcast with this is

[5:00]It's time for rolling going oh yeah and i did just get one text message but all it said was If aaron is this excited about his coffee grinder think of what a microwave will do for him but i Was like the conversation's already happened like a million times in the podcast so i was like i Want to point that out it was a very good text rolling going matt how's it rolling going with You good i got my List here i'm gonna try to get through it quick i've got a notebook paper you have it written Down on a notebook paper i'll jot this down for you man jot it down for me you know my my my And then i'll edit that right out when somebody says like hey well you want to take my number Down you're like oh yeah it's like this and they're like okay well six one eight nine Six one two all right eight six yeah hold it yeah okay got it okay thanks and You know you just not even take it but the number thing actually comes up quite a bit in the online Dating world so now a lot of times you'll go out with someone and you've met them through an app

[6:00]But you don't have their number yet so sometimes you go through the awkward thing at the end of The night where it's hey can i get your number you're trying to take it just from the app to Actually having someone's phone number and it always happens where you know someone gives you The number and then you do like the quick call to make sure it buzzes make sure they don't give you The wrong number but so it's a whole thing oh so you gotta you do you check them right there like Oh here give me your phone so i can type in my number and i'm gonna call you from I'm gonna call me from your phone so that i've we need to establish that we trust each other And to do that i'm gonna call you right now okay good i will say it is definitely a 100 Sign of no second date if you say hey why don't you why don't you give me your number i'll text You and they say oh we can just keep it on the app that is a certain sign that is going no further Keep it on the app i like if they were smart they would get a google voice number like we did for Better matt what are you talking about what were we talking about even i can't remember This week oh yeah Notebook paper joke i can see where it went already okay joke you know i i have tried to

[7:00]Start up getting through the list again and i don't know if you guys are following along or Russell i know you've had a couple big weeks here of of work activities so you probably haven't Had too much time but you know i'm up to 192 which is like 203 total albums you know since They read the list impressive we were up to 231 though impressive that's what i was up to so i'm Still like 28 albums that just got thrown in the trash can so i'm still kind of pissed about that still if We ever get to talk to the editors at rolling stone matt's gonna have something to say my goodness Yeah have you had like a new favorite album that you've come across matt that jumped way up that You weren't expecting to like or not are you are you like looking at my notes here or what Like this is amazing like almost like i just served that up to you softball style somebody Asked me a question yeah no i you know there was a couple highlights that i got you know we Talked about steely dan last week and i was like i don't know if i'm gonna be able to do that next Time i had no idea who steely dan was or how good he was you know you hear him kind of like in

[8:00]In pop culture is like one of those guys that people make steely dan it's not there's not a Steely dan there's not a steely dan it's it's a whole thing i am here from the future i was actually Gonna you're coming with me we have a list today and i was gonna include steely dan on there for Matt because he's texted about steely dan but admittedly i didn't know if it was a person or A band so i didn't want to put it on there yeah and bernard purdy played drums for them on some Tracks on aja bernard the hit maker Yeah We all know that so here's the thing matt is that i can't believe you like thank you captain Obvious here steve gad also played drums you by the way can you guys start laughing again when i Make fun of aaron when you guys don't laugh i feel very bad it makes me feel absolutely Terrible when i just lean into aaron and you guys are staring at me like you monster and i'm like oh No i don't want to be mean to my sweet aaron but it's so funny that you don't like super produced Albums and yet you like steely dan like legitimately the most produced albums of all time Yeah you know and so i'm you're Right i'm a bit of a fraud but you know i like what i like so also one of the

[9:00]Multitudes it's one band that's named after vibrators That's where the term steely dan comes from it's a it's a slang for a vibrator I don't know it sounds like a pretty hefty vibrator to me but Why did they name it dan i think it was a miss typo it's supposed to be steely dong and then They were like oh no something like todd or brad or steely rob but they got the three letters all Confused i think there's probably lots of bands named after vibrators yeah see the commodore jackson Five the eagles any band name is funny as a vibrator isn't it the police the flaming lips Oh wait oh no the hold steady i can do this all night this is great cream the big bopper Well let's pull up the 500 list and go for it Simon engar funkel Marvin gay

[10:00]Public enemy Notorious big shut it down how about this one talking heads Red hot chili pepper oh my god how about this one the jimmy hendrix experience oh that's yeah that's I okay Those are all very good i beastie boys we're not even close to done rob what about the sex Pistols forget it we don't even need to do a podcast just keep going lil wayne dusty springfield That seems like a good vibrator name joy division you guys are not the joy division you guys are not Getting hired as vibrator marketing people by the way i don't think that's not little richard Oh that's very good There's been a vibrator named little richard that has happened that has absolutely happened

[11:00]At some point in human history there's no way it hasn't what about the replacements like your wife Rob always just says hey rob i don't need you this evening i've got the replacement That's funny again russell i think you got i think you're in you're looking right over my Shoulder or something because i was going to say you know right after steely dan there was a Great band called oasis that had what's the story morning glory which kind of You know i don't know if you've heard of it but it's a band called oasis that had what's the The old heartstrings that was a one that i just played until it didn't play anymore back in high School so i love that but then i did come across and i had never heard of them before but the band Replacements and you know i guess they're from minneapolis minnesota's own yeah many uptime Minnesota zones they're kind of a cute little band you know and as they kind of sound like They got a little you know they're they kind of sound like they know what They've got going on so i don't know they're kind of a cute little band and you know They're kind of a cute little band and you know they're kind of a cute little band and you know They're kind of a cute little band and you know they're kind of a cute little band and you know They're kind of a cute little band and you know they're kind of a cute little band and you know You know you guys if you're if you think of it maybe check them out i mean they're not the best Out there but i would check them out so which album did you listen to which what's their top

[12:00]One i've heard they're not the best by some people some of our fans out there what's their top one is It tim or is it let it be that's on the or pleased to meet me let it be okay you know there is a they Might be giant number 155 all right yeah zero people found that interesting i literally have A replacements tattoo so i but it's from the tim album not from not wait Wait wait wait you guys know that we have talked about the Replacements a number of times both on the podcast and off and i never knew you had a Replacements tattoo yeah that my favorite replacement show us the tattoo show us the Tattoo well i gotta put my it's it's it's just a little tasteful guy what are you doing that you Just have a tattoo of a giant vibrator that's no good it says here comes a regular laugh which is The name of my favorite replacement song which was written about a bar in minneapolis some People think it might have been westrom's tab westrom's tavern where i spent a lot of time Some people think it could have been the cc club but yeah i have a replacements tattoo

[13:00]What was the quote again rosie here comes a regular is the name of the song oh all right It's a great song check it out that's also what i say to the guy in new jersey when he's pumping my Gas does that make any sense he's like no sir we only have unleaded actually and i'm like no put Lead in it is that one of those jokes of new york looking down on new jersey again you get high in No it's 80 new york It's because in new jersey you legally cannot pump your own gas oh you have to have somebody Pump your gas too right and i love it i love not getting out of the car i love having somebody Pump my gas i think it's great it it's awesome i thought it would stress me out and it's wonderful Are you ever in a hurry where you only want to put like five bucks in and they come up and they're Gonna fill it up you're like hey i only got time for three bucks here no no they first Of all i'm never actually like in a hurry like in a car i'm in a car so rarely and second of all Oh i need to go in and use the bathroom therefore negating any speed like pickup that we have

[14:00]From having somebody else pump our gas she gets out so then i have to go and of course park by the Side of the gas station does the pumper get a tip i do i look that up and they said a lot of people Said oh no i just do it on the holidays but i have to i mean you're having i think you should Tip everyone for everything i mean anyone who's working for an hourly wage should be tipped like That's hard man you have to show up to work like you literally have to show up to get paid That's terrible Yeah teachers should get tips rob right and i agree with you aaron i think the five dollar bill Thing you do is great this five dollars down make a mistake pull it away it's easy for aaron to say That because he buys all of his stuff from amazon online and doesn't go to mom and pops anymore That's that's terrible his local stores it's easy for you to say that when you don't have to tip the Amazon workers i don't buy from amazon wait where would you get that idea aaron likes all these Pictures online of people pissing in bottles and stuff like that's why he supports amazon he wants To see more People have to pee in a bottle rolling going what's going on with you i figured i might go

[15:00]Back to the dating corner and see if i get some dating advice from you guys i've kind of Hit a bit of a cold spell and i feel like i need to reset and might need you guys to put me back On the right track i'm here for this get get to the corner it's time for russell's advice Now russ in the past is our advice help yeah well he's still on the podcast so probably not i'm in No worse position than i was before the podcast so i don't think it's hurt he's still spending time With us so that's not a great sign so the one thing i was going through is i was looking at i Use an app called you guys have heard about bumble but i also use an app called hinge is Essentially you have about six pictures and then there are about three questions where you put a Real short 140 character answer to three questions so when you look at someone's profile you see what The question is you see their answer and then you put a real short 140 character answer to three questions And then you kind of respond to it like you would on facebook or some sort of social media app so The way hinge works is i've got to put three questions or three prompts with my pictures

[16:00]Three kind of clever lines that go with these questions so i thought what i would do is run Some of these questions by you guys and see if you have any ideas of what you think would be Good responses that could generate conversation or get women to respond to me when i reach out To them does that sound good all right and i promise i'm not going to say dick too big All right we'll start with you guys so i'm going to start with you guys so i'm going to start with An easy one for you guys the first prompt that i was looking at was like i wonder how these guys Would answer this is the hallmark of a good relationship is so what would you guys say is The hallmark of a good relationship in a couple sentences or less i would say i'm waiting for you To tell me what a good relationship is oh there we go that's pretty good some long lines of you Know being able to spend time apart from each other and i don't know if i'm saying that eloquently Enough but i think the hallmark of a good relationship is the hallmark of a good relationship Is people who have different interests then you come back together you're not going to spend every

[17:00]Minute of every day of every hour with each other you know so you've got outside interests so that You're not you know just trying to all of a sudden be a blackhead on that person's back or Something like that like let's say that one person's interest is you know sleeping in a bed With their spouse and the other person's interest is doing podcasts at 11 30 at night with three of His friends like that's a great relationship once a week right Like once a week you gotta have yeah i don't have a joke about this one but i think a hallmark Is knowing when to pick each other up so knowing when you got to give some extra When the other person needs it and then when the other person can know when you need some Some extra help that to me that's that's the hallmark is knowing when you got to step in and Pick each other up it might surprise you but that's what i'm terrible at that i am absolutely Awful at reading when she wants to just talk and when she wants advice and i always step in and Give advice like who cares and then she's like no i've been talking to you for 15 minutes you cannot Say to be honest with you rob you know on our on our side text chain that we've got without You because you're the main host so as the secondary host we have our side text we talk

[18:00]About that often that rob just you know he's he's not picking up on our cues how can we get him to Come and just see that we need some help we get robbed we are floundering here we need help rob And yeah it's it's been noted i do a bit of work in analytics i'm not going to bore you guys Too much but you're oh here we if if aaron gives us warning he's not going to bore us this could Be really let me write this down on a piece of notebook When you're when you're building a model you want to know if your model can improve over the naive Model and the naive model should assume that no no one wants robin's advice so if you just always Guess no you're going to do better than any model you could come up with in your head you can any Algorithm you can build is not going to do better than just guessing no so that's it that's i was Bored i'm bored okay well my rolling going now is out the window i had lots of advice for all three Of you guys on this podcast but i already said one of them laugh at me more So i don't know there's not much else i can say i mean i've been doing that for 10 years 15 years Now 20 years all right russell done we've we've given you great advice on that one

[19:00]The next prompt would be you guys are aware of the five love languages right oh yeah so the next Prompt is my love language is what is the love language what should i say is my love language I'm going to go through and tell everybody the five love languages because my my aaron Has been holding up fingers and i think he said beans and rice for i don't think the tortillas in There beans and rice done this time i'm going to go through and tell everybody the five love languages So here's the deal we got touch right we got gifts we've got acts of service we've got There's one where you just hang out with them right quality time and then There's oh you're good at this right affirmation words of affirmation oh you guys know this stuff Way to go well i'll tell you what it's on this app right hey aaron i've wrote it down i've wrote It down about two dozen times on notebook paper and i toss that shit every time after every Conversation now russ is there a way On the answer that you can change the font to make it look like you're whispering Because i think you whispering touch is it would be really good

[20:00]I could just put it on all caps would that work or not hey here's a gift i want to touch you Hey let's get some quality time together i'll touch you words of affirmation yes i'm going To touch you now acts of service i'm going to touch you it's all of them it's the best no i Know we know the Five love languages because mine unfortunately is touch which is a big bummer it's it's it's Ruined a lot of my friendships and then but because you don't hug me i'm i'm telling you man Next time i see you it's going to be a big hug you're getting a big hug aaron do you just you Wait i'm gonna do more i'm gonna wrestle you down to the ground for that but my kids have different Love languages and it's been hard to once you figure that out it kind of makes a lot more sense With kids like i have one who's literally is just quality time so you could be like hey i'm gonna go Leg for an hour and she'd be like yeah let's do it let's hang out like that's all she wants to do And then the other one is i don't know what just being left alone i guess that's a love language i'm

[21:00]Not sure she's whatever the opposite of quality time is so that's my kids so write that down Russell this is my kids quality so how is this helping russell it's not we can just move to the Next no no what's man i want to hear what's your love language mine is acts of service and So there's a you know i i don't know it's just i i think the There's the comedian bill burr who said at one time you know guys or wives if you could Just do this just one time and watch how your husband's mind just get blown just turn the tv on Put a basketball game on make him a sandwich open a beer set it on the couch and then just Set him ready for an hour russell i hope you're writing this down i don't i don't know i don't Know if this is that's life for an hour and watch their minds get blown and that's that you know What i think of when i think so you know i just i you know i don't mind helping out and i

[22:00]The touching thing i don't know why something happened to me as a child i think so i don't know You know you gotta say i'm not a big hugger i'm not i'm not a big hugger you know and receiving Gifts i could care less you know like spending time together that's great that's that's One i think you know that'd probably be second place things like that but the acts of service Just every once in a while you know just picking up the house or something or just something this Sounds like it might be a response to that i think you made a comment one of just put the spoon into The dishwasher all you have to do is put the spoon into the dishwasher it sounds like maybe Stop touching me afterwards hey can you please fold my laundry as an act of service here Aaron what's your love how would aaron how would you respond to the love language well i in Preparation for this just a little behind the scenes we had some time to think this over i was Gonna say burritos which i guess would be like an act of service like bringing me a burrito but I think now that i know what the real love languages are my i'm like rob mine is touch

[23:00]So rob like we're just gonna have to we're just gonna have to sit and hold hands next time we Hang out like yeah that's that's where i'm at it's gonna be i i would be so down with that That'd be so fun to me i just love i i'm so into touch that i like being on a crowded subway Like i'm on a crowded subway to raise your hand up against me and i'm like yeah baby here we go This is great i think there's something called like isn't there like non-sexual Contact like hugging isn't it isn't like a thing where people just no no never Any contact is sexual and that's why i got kicked off the college football team By the way ross the correct answer is put down your love language is frenching So my goal of this was hopefully you guys would give me advice that would help me but i don't Think that's really going to work i don't think that's going to work i don't think that's going to Work so i'm going to give you guys another one maybe you guys because sometimes you Don't want to talk too much about yourself you want to ask about other people so the next prompt I wanted to see what would you ask about a woman you were trying to date the one thing i'd love to

[24:00]Know about you is what is the one thing you would want to know about the person you're trying to date Will you touch me down there oh no no oh man if you're talking feet then yeah that's oh I would want to know who their favorite singer is like what's your favorite singer and not Not you know not in this ranking kind of scenario like when you need to listen to some music who do You who's your go-to who do you listen to that's that's one thing i would want to know yeah and You're probably not if you're i was gonna go no judgment yeah you're not judging but like Look have somebody right don't just be like i don't listen to music i live i love probably not Or whatever yes yeah that's why i've got i've got knees i've got an easy answer to that Yeah So i'm with you rosie i'm right along that's that's the same thing line of thinking i was Going right all right here we go final prompt i'm weirdly attracted to what are you guys

[25:00]Weirdly attracted to this is weird because our wives well rob's doesn't but i know rosie's Listen and mother-in-law's and rob's mother-in-law listens things like that Right now i'm weirdly attracted to any information about the suez canal that is not related to the Economy not related to that ship i gotta write this down my my swipes are gonna go right Right if i put in the suez canal i need to know what's happening on these right good or bad where People are stuck there i hope is there an uber for an uber eats for boats are there bars can People like people who are stuck on these boats can they hop on a dinghy and go to a bar are they Stuck i saw tonight on the internet that someone built a dating app for people who are stuck on Ships in the suez canal so if you're weirdly attracted to knowing anything more about this Situation and about the real lives of these people who are out here living this that's that's where i'm

[26:00]At that's that's what i can't stop thinking about right now the dating app is called suez canal So don't bring up birth canal again please it's getting cut out Aaron you know that they have food on ships like normally but they don't stop every day it's not Like a road trip with your kids or they're like oh what if they had enough food to get to where They're going and that was four days ago and now they're stuck in the suez canal and they ran out Of food what like what's gonna happen i see this is fascinating stuff now you're gonna do not write That down whatever you do not write down i'm weirdly attracted to the boats of the suez canal I got yeah and i got another one that don't write this down but i i don't know what it is but Like any of those like prison shows like oh no brah and all that it's i i don't know what it is But like it just fascinates me i never ever want to go to prison but how those people survive And like is it helping them is it not you know are some people can you rehabilitate them i don't

[27:00]Know that's it's just a it's one of those things where it's like i'm attracted like a moth To a flame if there's like a prison show on for some reason i'm attracted to my podcast co-host Wives so i would put that down So if you guys are out there call the beck line 802-277-2325 i don't share everything i get on The beck line with these guys so you can call or text the worst thing is my my podcast host wives Would probably get me more play than prison shows and the suez canal right now so that's Out of the three options that i've got from you guys to pump up my profile i may just be looking For that corrupt woman morally corrupt woman out there that's gonna be down there Out of the list you know your list is shrinking but it's you know we're getting rid of the stuff On the bottom i don't i better get out of the corner i don't know if i can Handle any more of the suez canal talk i do want to say that i think dick too big would fit for Any of those but i didn't say it get out of the corner that was russell oh yeah yes it absolutely

[28:00]Is rolling going rosie how's it going with you oh i was afraid this wasn't gonna happen i i Everything's going on in my mind tonight and today rob's always last year i you know he's if If i went russellman you're next i know i don't we're doing the podcast i'm gonna ask this You don't have to have a rolling going we can just mind is racing with my rolling guns no i have i Have several rollings going first rolling i asked in the coffee grinder situation what how you Know you are living in filth well that came back to bite me because today the refrigerator stopped And i had to pull the refrigerator out oh no all oh no this was this is one of the worst moments Of my life this was you got a cat horrifying yep yeah i got a cat funny story though also found Some dog food behind there we don't own a dog and we've lived in this place for seven years

[29:00]So that's oh i thought maybe your wife was sneaking dog food without you knowing it I would have just moved it's like aaron keeps making me hot dogs and tortellini I just want to eat this dog food it's so much better than what aaron's making every day oh Vegetarian ham oh sounds great honey hey are you eating kibbles and bits back there every time Aaron was gonna walk out of the kitchen and then she was gonna have to walk out of that dog food She just like swept it under the fridge real quick yeah and he's like why do i need to wear These house shoes she's like never mind she's sweeping the dog just horrific but we did Call an appliance person he did come and fix the refrigerator so and is it your refrigerator Isn't that isn't that a that's not your refrigerator is it no we rent but our We our landlady doesn't live here so it's faster if we just call the person and then like they come And fix it are you sending her the bill yeah of course yeah it just comes off the road okay Everybody shut up you said your mind was racing and then you told us that your refrigerator broke

[30:00]And it was dirty behind there yeah is that what you're writing about really better go catch it So that was number one number two we did have vietnamese takeout tonight and rob i Wasn't even going to mention this but there was vegetarian ham in my wife's dish that she had Which was delicious and my son told me that he likes that chicken better than the chicken that I make which he was right it's very good chicken but my final piece of my rolling going kids Know how to hurt you don't they though they just say that offhand and you're like i know you're Telling the truth that's the worst part of this whole thing i know he was sitting there at dinner He said dad i like this chicken and i was like yeah me too man but like we could have like you Didn't have to say that yeah Yeah go go get behind the fridge eat that dog food back there The final piece of my rolling going is that i want to build can i ask you have you changed Your laugh have you changed your laugh to a quiet laugh have you gone too far away from the mic have You undergone a laugh change what me yes because when you just laughed at that last joke i you i Could see you laughing it was silent well it could be but you're listening to me through the zoom

[31:00]When you hear it in the in post it's going to sound fine i think if you have changed your laugh To a silent laugh you are off the podcast immediately i don't think so i think you're Gonna hear the laughs okay i'm gonna go back and listen yeah and guess what i hear two things i hear Two things from the podcast people say who is that rob guy yes he sounds like he should be on The radio he's really funny and really he you guys everybody knows this rob is about the funniest Human being i know and i know just yes and we're just you know this whole podcast oh yeah i'll use This as a please go hit like on all of your apps you know we're trying to get rob up to the next Stratosphere here we're trying to get him promoted national fame so the more you hit like the more You download our podcast here the quicker rob can get out of here and you don't have to hear Us anymore so maybe it's motivation for them all but yeah i lost my train of thought People like aaron's laugh oh yeah that everybody everybody who is that guy he's got the

[32:00]Greatest laugh in the world Who is that guy you know that everybody yeah without you know without fail it's all that guy's Laugh is great so i'm just here having fun with you guys man i love it it hasn't changed don't Worry aaron and we love you too and we think and i do love doing this podcast but if you stop laughing Out loud your ass is out of here so fast you're gonna make your head spin okay you're gonna have A lot of time to study shit about the suez canal because you're gone well the final thing i need To study is in response to matt's rolling going Last week talking about billy eilish i have not listened to the whole billy eilish record I heard bad guy around because it was inescapable and she won all those grammys and everything but After matt was talking about billy eilish i thought well i i gotta understand you know what What is what's billy eilish all about and i know that we joke that on this podcast we're talking About oh hey the top 500 albums are actually pretty good hey the grammys got it right billy

[33:00]Eilish that record is really good i super enjoyed that we listened to it like three times yesterday And really enjoyed it and unique isn't it yeah and i also i feel like there are some parallels to This stevie wonder record that we're going to talk about in that both artists are trying to Make new sounds that haven't been recorded before and they were doing it in different ways i think The tools are probably different but they're they're both trying to make physical sounds and Music that hasn't been recorded before so i got to give matt props because he reminded me that it Should be once in a while checking up with what's going on in current music and i've been really Enjoying the billy eilish album so that's it that's rolling going with me i have you seen the Documentary the billy eilish documentary no is it good it's supposed to be very good and it Makes her look like an even better person and it makes her family look great too so it's like this Weird like to hear that's so nice yeah and no aaron i see your text message i see your text

[34:00]Message billy eilish would not be the good name for you So don't please don't say How's it rolling going with rob that's what i want to know i'll tell you what my phone is Fucked right now i i realized today i use like five apps all of them are on different pages on My phone they're all over the place i use the one to find when the subway is going to come I use one to order dinner for my kids because the subway is always coming late And then i use like you know facebook instagram not to post for this show but for other things And like i i but they're all over the place on my phone it's a mess i should Just take all the apps i use all the time and move them to the front page i'm not going to do it i Am too lazy dude what's your guys's phone app organization thing what which what apps do you Have any fun apps across the bottom i've got facebook on the bottom do you guys use folders Or what are you just straight up you know app apps all over the place it's just everything in There in alphabetical order holy shit are you serious everything in there in alphabetical order Or does it automatically do that it automatically does that the only ones i have on my main page are

[35:00]Like the text the camera the gallery whatever the things that are already sitting there i don't even Know if i would know how to change it yeah i i thought you put him in alphabetical order and i Was like oh boy he's been pretty nonchalant about automatically moving them to alphabetical order Don't put that on your hinge questions by the way man what about you what's your phone look like Oh i i i i dig deep into this for some reason and i i kind of rotate it i don't know maybe Quarterly i kind of update what i use more than i don't use i don't use more than i use Psychos i i you can see i don't know see i've got like the clock up there i changed my clock Every once in a while you're showing us a website stuck in dryer i don't want to wait a minute Actually no but i've got i've got my two email accounts i've got my google calendar which is Like our family calendar i got iheart because this is a podcast app that i use i i've got Amazon music i have two bank accounts and then i've got my like my work calendar like on my Front page because i i was missing too many thing or forgetting about too many things and so i open

[36:00]My phone and i'm like oh my god i've got a lot of stuff i've got a lot of stuff i've got a lot of Phone i know what i got going on next page it's like weather and then the things that i kind of Like to look at a lot like maybe like ebay and amazon and rob's instagram page my my peloton app To see when my next peloton class you know things like that and then as i go back it's less and less Used and so like right now because we haven't been to vegas in a long time you guys will you Know what's on the back of it is my purple ledger if you guys remember from vegas the purple ledger The purple ledger was a huge mistake where we were all we all had This brilliant huge brain idea of keeping track of how much money we lost in vegas and it took Us one night to realize it's probably the most depressing idea ever or win yeah or win that's What we thought we like god we win all the time turns out that is not true what is an app on Your phone that you don't think everyone has that you guys would highly recommend So so i have one have you guys ever used the libby app yeah i love libby oh man so libby if you guys Don't have it is essentially you can log into like any library through the libby app so you can

[37:00]Essentially it becomes a an e-reader for any sort of local library it's pretty awesome yeah libby's Good one that i think rosie could use maybe is the chipotle app you can just order it and just drop It and picks it up and yeah i've been i'll tell you what i just got an app called remote pro Because i do not own a tv and so on my couch i have to watch the computer well that is a problem When you need to pause or turn up or down the volume or pretty much do anything i have to get Off the couch this remote pro app you can hook it up to any mac and it will control the mouse On the screen and you can like click the button and up and down the volume it is unbelievable it Has changed my life i think it was like seven bucks i would pay seven hundred dollars for it I am so lazy more time on the couch i i have never bought an app i've never paid money for A nap are you serious yeah this is mind-blowing to me you've never bought an app no like i'm Not the one i can think of you have a job matthew right like you have a job like you would

[38:00]Be working for 30 seconds to buy an app yeah i don't know matt this may blow your mind but i buy Apps all the time whether i use them or not i might act like crazy not a big deal i recently Bought the carrot weather app it's a weather app that has jokes on it like i paid money for that You see in any other app but i it has jokes so i paid like what's an example of a joke that was On there well let's get on there right now okay all right It's called carrot yep new york city and it works with my i my watch that's really why i got It these clouds taste like cotton candy prawn flavored cotton candy how much did you pay for Okay so we're gonna move on that's gonna get edited out because that makes me look stupid You bring up your email i don't know if we've talked about this guy before but when you get An email at work let's say you're done with it do you put it like an archive or do you just leave it In your inbox so i have everything in my inbox but i've been accused of being a madman for this No people who take the time to organize emails are losers i'm gonna say that right now to

[39:00]Do you are a loser and if you are a person who takes time to hash put their emails into different Folders text in or whatever hashtag loser okay because that's what you are to remind yourself That you're a fucking loser you can just search the email it does not matter got another schism Coming on oh i just i delete no i delete them i i i get rid of them i just there's no anything Just get rid of them i don't know there's no reason to keep them You delete like all your emails that you get yeah that has to have come back to bite you so Many times doesn't it never and that's what i thought how many times i mean really in all or All reality it's like well hey i deleted that email can you just send it again or something like Is it really that is psycho shit man i truly believe that or you can find my kids social Security numbers the other day i where do you find that i have no idea where to find a social Security number so i literally went through my email typed in kids social security numbers and Unfortunately they didn't pop up immediately which makes me think about it i don't know Maybe it's not the best idea to do that you should change your password to your email

[40:00]Matt the real question is before we move on to the album is are you Going to keep all rob's emails with the vibrator names that he's sent over the last hour or not Yeah they've got a special folder all right that's all i wanted to make sure rob the Easiest place to find them is just look at last year's tax returns just pull them up that's that's Where the social security numbers are no idea where those are all right so moving on it might Surprise you my life is a mess much like my All right so we are talking about inner visions by stevie wonder aaron what year did this come Out 73 73 and so i i've got my three sentences about the album because i have gotten zero Emails saying oh no rob the three sentences were such a bad idea we want longer longer so That's because nobody's heard the three sentence thing we just recorded that two days that's also True but here's the thing the three cents about this album number one the arp synthesizer once The album to me does sound a little dated i think it sounds like it's a weird sound but i

[41:00]Think if you were back in 73 or 74 listening to this i think it would be mind-blowing because he Was doing stuff with synthesizers that really people used over and over but nobody had heard It up to then and you have to keep it in mind that he paid all the instruments on this album For seven of the nine songs he every single one man band type stuff yeah it's crazy the drumming Is really good like it's incredible he's a fantastic drummer i i highly recommend if you Haven't yet search stevie wonder drum solo on youtube and there's an old clip of him playing A drum solo and it's absolutely fantastic he is like a legitimate top level drummer which is wild After this album came out he got in a car accident where he actually got Knocked out a piece of wood came from a truck in front of him hitting right in the forehead Which is crazy he lost a sense of smell and he woke up in the hospital he said oh my god

[42:00]What if i've lost my ability to play music and so they had somebody bring in this clavinet Into the hospital where he was sitting and they said the smile when he was able to play these Songs it was just so big but you can i think you can like this was the start of his three albums in A row that each won best record for the grammys right it was this talking book was the third one And it was something like this and i think it's a really good album and i think it's a really good The sunrise of something or something it was a talking book then this one then fulfilling this First finale and then songs in the key of life right did they all win i mean i don't know if They all won but i think that's the chronology he's on a freaking roll right in the middle of This and i think that accident really made him realize like what's important and what he's going To work towards and what he worked toward is an album that won an absolute shit ton of awards And still is talked about like crazy let's get into it let's talk about inner vision so Guys the first song let's get too high well no no wait a minute you didn't even let me do my joke

[43:00]That i definitely thought of oh that's what it was i when i was looking for the song i searched Too high on my work computer and i immediately realized what a huge mistake that was It is funny the first time i heard this song though i thought he was talking about like Doing drugs and how cool it was and then i realized later it's an anti-drug message yeah right Me even put the effects on this boy And the keyboards here yeah that might be a problem though if you're writing a cautionary Song and the first time i hear it i'm like hey that sounds awesome like the stuff he's talking About he's like colors are changing you look like a tangerine i'm like where do i take this drug Where do i find one of these yeah I love the mix on this album i think the mix is really good yeah i do think it's i think It's keyboard heavy i think it sounds a little soft music-y but i think the mix you can hear those drums so Clearly you can hear his playing so clearly it's crazy i also want to point out he plays the Chromatic harmonica now john popper right plays harmonica but you have to switch a harmonica for

[44:00]Every single key you're in they all play different keys that's why playing the harmonica is the Easiest thing in the world because you just play it no matter what you play it sounds good if they're Playing g and then when you switch to c you blow breathe in and then the harmonica sounds good and If you need to switch to d you switch harmonicas but he plays a chromatic harmonica where it's like A piano you can actually play every note and then push a button to move it up a half step listen to This harmonica i mean this rips guys like if you compare this that's my favorite spot And maybe it's just because i got love supreme on the brain but and we've been texting about Love supreme and i don't know why it's been on my brain but so much about this song made me think Of love supreme with the cymbal work which reminds me so much of elvin jones and then it's Like he's pushing that harmonica and then he's pushing that harmonica and then he's pushing that Harmonica to its limits the same way coltrane pushes the saxophone to its limits i don't know That's just that was a connection that came into my head but the saxophone's way cooler right

[45:00]Oh well right i'm not yes i mean yeah well okay can i give you guys a little secret okay When i was younger i owned a chromatic harmonica i worked my hardest to try to learn how to play it Can you imagine me i'm so happy my parent if i was my parents i would be like okay you back up the Put my head under the tire then we're gonna have to figure this out because who's gonna do your head Because this is awful can you imagine just imagine right now your kid has a harmonica period that's Uncle russ has given his nieces and nephews harmonicas for christmas before just to watch The reaction of my brother and sister and good spouse yeah my son has one that's so brilliant It is on it is that is on the top three things to not give as an uncle one of them is anything That has a assembly required so then your brother has to put it together two anything in Like water in the house you know like if you got like a check and then three is musical

[46:00]Instruments yeah you've done it you've got the trifecta russell i know because you don't have To deal with it but then when they have fun with it you get all the credit for right i'm not gonna Put that big car ramp together my brother's gonna do it but when it's together uncle russ got me That car ramp right great old evil genius russell you're an evil genius well tonight i'm not doing But i am having high west whiskey so i'm gonna i'm honoring high by having high west whiskey Double rye it's the only distillery in utah the first distillery in utah so check it out Cheers all right and you know what i'll check it out using my vision yes visions Does he play guitar on this one or is that too too slow what i have no idea all i Know is on seven of the nine songs he played all the time man are you on board with me this is this Is too slow wow i mean yeah we'll hear about my take i guess in in the favorite segmentary but

[47:00]Yeah i just there's a lot of slow parts in this whole album personally what do your notes say There rob what does that say so i i'm just gonna say this on the genius The comments on genius all it says in genius somebody commenting goes bruh this song's so I was like you know what i can respect that you like you know some guy probably like stoned out Of his brain listen to the song he's like oh this song is so beautiful i gotta go tell somebody well I'll go tell everybody on the internet like it's just to take the time to do that i think it's Beautiful there was no hulk hogan brother this is so beautiful it was like a relaxed bruh This is so beautiful brother you know what's beautiful is when i go to my friend's house And i deep dick wife all day I'm telling you we're gonna watch that tape after We're done with this we gotta make that joke and things that an uncle shouldn't give but i didn't Want to go there all hogan sex tape all right i think this might be the best song

[48:00]We've done on this podcast yet i honestly believe that i just want to tell you that's what i feel This is what this is a great song it's a monster in my mind first of all you know i love a story Song i loved his last album where he had a story about him getting in trouble in the bathroom or Whatever i don't i don't maybe i don't know i recall that maybe that was chuck berry Paradise i i can't remember so but i i think i might listen to this song if i had to pick one Song to listen to for the rest of my life it might be this song i mean yeah this is where the keys Really work like he brings the keyboards to another level on this and there's like a real Groove here and then when the hi-hat comes in forget it i mean i it's just like engrossing And it's like does this give you guys a little james brown vibe like a little More stank on his voice when he starts singing everything there's just a little bit more Attitude right there's fun absolutely no doubt i'm not gonna go too negative but anything that

[49:00]Who was the first album we did marvin gaye mark anything marvin gaye did is better than this song That whole album is better than this song my opinion here's what i'll say marvin gaye doesn't Do that stevie wonder does rob i don't know if you guys if you can get to the end of the song when he Is just melting it out rob i don't know if you can go and just play where stevie wonder is just Crushing it at the end it's so cool he's got different vocal effects he can do just by himself Here we go this is badass to me oh yeah but the marvin gaye parallels are interesting because a Lot of what people think about with this album are is the message and he i think built on what Marvin did with what's going on which was what 71 because even i mean You know talking book i think started to get into this kind of thing and he's got i can't remember Now he's got multiple richard nixon diss tracks but the next one might have been on the next album so

[50:00]I think he started to make social commentary more important his music on this album where he Hadn't done that before because he grew up in public life like he maybe wasn't always comfortable Doing it i don't know one other question did marvin gaye ever have a song with a laser beam in It because this song has a laser beam check out the laser beam by the way i just want to state Very clearly i got an email from marvin gaye and he's like i don't know what's going on with this From russell laser beam here's a link to the song like how many songs have a laser beam in It it's crazy all right here we go listen to this What's with the laser beam right and this is four years before star wars comes out like This man was going to space when it was cool to go to space and it was well before george lucas went To space this is yeah This is next level stuff i am gonna say i agree with aaron if you get a chance to see a picture Of stevie wonder around one of these synthesizers you need to look it up because it is probably one

[51:00]Of the funniest things in the world these synthesizers are like the size of a room They're gigantic and there's just wires everywhere and like to literally make that sound he had to Rewire it which is it's awesome really see that's cool yeah you know if he's like getting that deep Into making those noises freaking laser making those names freaking laser beams now he's like Actually this is The greatest album of all time i'm just trying i'm trying not to be negative all right listen What happens to the golden girls when they get older golden lady Women golden women so this is just a straight up love song but is it okay to talk about the Irony of the lyrics in this one of course it is of course like the whole our tens of listeners Want to hear what the irony is well they're just a bunch of Not in this spot but in the opening verse of the track there's a bunch of Lyrics about looking in your eyes and kind of heaven eyes and he's talking about like a lot

[52:00]Of like sight based it's really interesting to think about was he just doing love song tropes That he knew would play well with people who listen to love songs or was he trying to say Something about being a non-sighted person it's to me it's very interesting as someone who's hit Written a lot of hit parody songs i can tell you right now i'm not a fan of love songs i'm not a Fan of love songs i'm not a fan of love songs i'm not a fan of love songs i'm not a fan of love songs Rhymes with a lot of stuff i think that's the reason why you do it it rhymes with a ton What one thing i think i noticed most about this you were referencing the synthesizer earlier the Clavinet that he used and he uses the clavinet on a future song but the thing that jumped out to me Is the electric piano on this one and if you guys remember last week we talked electric piano on Amy weinhaus we talked the world we were talking the whirlitzer yeah stevie wonder does not really Rock a whirlitzer here he uses a fender rhodes oh i was hoping i could give you guys a little bit of History on the fender rhodes and we're gonna do a list i'm here for it this is all i care about Country roads take me home

[53:00]Last time we talked about the whirlitzer and that kind of had like a harsher sound Whereas the fender rhodes is a little different so the whirlitzer they played Metal reeds on a fend on a fender rhodes they play metal tines and there's a An outside amplifier so this sounds more like a bell if it's played softly compared to that Harsher sound we heard last week so the really cool thing as i you guys have opened me up to Jazz music right we've talked miles davis so one of the first artists to really Make the fender rhodes popular is miles davis had his piano players use it on bitches brew Yeah and so a couple of we're not going to play bitches brew for you guys because the songs are 20 Minutes and i can't Figure out where in the song to find the fender rhodes but i was going to highlight a couple of Miles davis's piano players to show where they've used the fender rhodes and song so

[54:00]This first song is herbie hancock check this song out it's called chameleon from 1973 And i'm aaron i've actually heard this described as Sounding like a glockenspiel a little bit the fender rhodes can sound like a glockenspiel Yeah i can see i can feel that for sure herbie hancock is a youtube treasure trove if you can Find any interview with herbie hancock he is such a marvelous person to just listen to talk herbie Hancock said when he went in to play with miles davis for the first time he walked in and they Had the electric piano and he never played it before so it was a completely new thing and then He ends up it's being it ends up being like a very consistent part of his act as these electric Pianos going forward right that's and yeah that's amazing his career is just it's a it's A stunner for sure so another real quick one i wanted to show before we get further in the list Is chick correa was go ahead i i hate to interrupt no please do first time ever

[55:00]Long time listener first time interrupter probably the greatest vibrator name don't you think yes If i didn't say that i would have edited myself and say that later so i'm sorry i'm sorry i had Not been not as cool of a vibrator name would be chick correa who also played on bitches brew Did he did he did he did he did Check out chick correa this is the song called spain he just rocks this check this out it's From his album i think it's called return to forever this is the song called spain check this Out nice oh yes oh yeah is that crazy or what people always talk about colors when they talk About chick correa he just passed i read a little bit about him when he passed and people talk About how he was able to get different colors in music and you can hear a different color in his Roads than you heard in in herbie's also there's a really great album that's a herbie hancock Chick correa live album with two of them together playing piano

[56:00]That's not that weird i like that over the top it's like jazz but one thing i had to do you guys Know me i gotta give people real songs i can't just give them these jazz songs that no one's ever Heard of so the next song on the list is we're gonna go to the doors this is riders on the storm Off the album l.a. Woman matt i think that's in the 300s somewhere So rayman zerick who was one of the founders of the doors essentially used to play two different Types of electric pianos with two different hands and then he had this fender roads and he said Essentially if there was no such thing as the fender roads there would have been no such thing As the doors i thought that was pretty cool right because they didn't have guitar right this was Their main melodic Outlet so i thought that was pretty cool the next one that is awesome is you guys remember the song Lovely day by bill withers i'm gonna flip over a car yeah i love it flip over a car check this out

[57:00]Here When i wake up in here comes Ah yeah one of the most beautiful licks of all time does this guy does this make you kind of Want to get a fender roads yes in your house 100 yes by the way I was gonna say russell i think this is a good date song like when you pick somebody up Like on your hinge date this is a good one to have playing in the car I think slightly below that was this one you probably want to skip don't play this But if by the way great piano solo in this song but this is the end if you want to if you want To set the tone for a real date russell and you're just like fuck it we're gonna see where this date Goes i gotta say that first song you gave us is spain i think if the girl gets in your car and You're playing this I think if the girl gets in your car and you're playing this She'd be like wait what's going on you just got some coke lined up on the dashboard you're Like ready to go you're just like here's your sunglasses here's some cocaine let's go drive

[58:00]Around what colors do you hear in this oh well after a date by the way my love language is dutch If i'm playing that i'm definitely gonna be the ruler of that date but if i'm not the ruler of The date we gotta put up the ruler of the roads have you guys heard of the ruler of the roads Before no this is billy preston playing on get back By the beatles remember they're playing this up on the rooftop on let it be i believe it is He got started in the church So this came out to be like a staple of his music too with everything he did was the fender roads I'm going to get a fender roads and i'm going to play this song this rocks He played keys for aretha too i did not know he's called the ruler Of the roads i've mentioned him as the fifth beetle many times and rob has smacked me down But i didn't know he was the ruler of the roads the ruler of the roads the last song on the list

[59:00]Last week we talked about ray charles i don't remember what the song was it was that i don't Know two-part song where he played the whirlitzer and what i say charles is more known for the Whirlitzer because the whirlitzer came out about 10 years before the fender roads but he Has also rocked the fender roads on one of my favorite songs ever i know you guys like the What's the song called rob shake your tail feather on the blues brothers check this out Yes Oh that's nice badass right Okay i was wrong about that song earlier all these songs we played are better than That song i realized now i apologize i mean this is good between last week looking at the world And now the fender rose and back-to-back albums these electric pianos are just badass there's Something totally unique to music and this brings you back to like these 70s songs are right in this

[1:05:00]Deleted it yeah the app he deleted it free app came with ads every five minutes and i and I and i always thought there was something wrong with me like that i can't do that you know but There's plenty of people out there so anybody out there they tried meditating and they haven't got It to work don't feel ashamed because everybody tells you should do it some people just can't Do it I've done peloton sleep meditation before yeah and it's it's just basically people being like You're obviously pretty rich if you bought a peloton so Lots of bad things can happen to you'll be fine don't worry about it You will get through but actually there's a nightmare because you can see Russ on peloton you can high five people by pushing their picture and on this app you can See other people doing the sleep meditation and i accidentally touched it to high five somebody During the sleep meditation and i was like oh my god i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm gonna die Sleep meditation so i was like high five and i'll be like yeah great job with that sleep meditation Clean let's keep that sleep meditation up you're going slow sleepy oh and then they couldn't sleep

[1:06:00]The whole night they think they were like so stoked from rob's high five well maybe they're Maybe their love language is physical touch did you guys know that in 2017 beck released his 13th album called colors all right and he and his producer greg kirsten who also he started out As a keyboardist in 2003 and then turned into like this mega producer kind of in the teens and So he and his producer essentially played every instrument on that whole album well but so i just Gotta ask i mean i do have to ask when it comes to playing every instrument on your own album who Does it better i'm gonna say steve all of that stevie did it better on this one so What was our joke earlier about something about shit what was The shit joke this podcast is shitty yeah hey aaron that stomping on the beck did it

[1:07:00]Better take that was shit but you know what aaron what kind of fuckery is this i will say i do Think now my love language is being told what to do and then my that i'm wrong about things all And so not funny all in love is fair all in rob's love language is fair That's right my love language is is fairs you got mini donuts you got rides you got demolition Derbies be quiet stevie you got all these things that i love in fairs i think that's great by the Way another love song don't need it don't you worry about a thing now this starts off with a Part where he's speaking spanish to a woman oh jesus whoa that's so loud but he's he's starting To speak in the beginning of this song he's starting to speak spanish to this woman then he Oh yeah i've been everywhere paris peru i was like really you're breaking out peru is like the one Place i rock i ran yeah i was like wait is stevie wonder a spy for the cia oh that'd be fun

[1:08:00]I've been to cuba i've killed a man with my bare hands strongest association with this song though Is the jet ski scene in the movie hitch which i've seen far too many times No please stop talking aaron just stop talking there you guys haven't seen hitch Will smith yeah there's a great scene where he takes I swear to god if you're gonna describe the jet ski scene and you're gonna say That will smith is on a jet ski and that song is playing you don't need to do that you fucking said It's the jet ski scene in hitch we can imagine what it looks like is it any different were you Gonna say something different stop talking i don't know there's nothing else to say it's just I've seen well now stop talking god aaron figure it out right too bad rob's not mr know-it-all To putting the sound bites in the right spot i'll tell you what i'm mr yes at all I like this song

[1:09:00]All about and this one is mr no is there electric piano on this one or is it acoustic piano seems Like different instrumentation on this one so this is supposed to be like a disc track of President nixon right 100 yeah and it sounds like i think it sounds like the happiest thing of all Time i'm just gonna say that this is a Disc track about me i'd be thrilled aaron this does not have the fender or the clavinet this is A regular piano and then the synth or the moog so it's not the fender that we were talking about Earlier it sounds different than the rest of the album now he had two albums in a row where he Dissed nixon because it was this one and then he did you haven't done nothing which is like A little more funky and maybe in your face but i would never know that was a disc Track no i didn't almost sounds like you're singing happy birthday to president but isn't that The real charm of a true disc track is you don't even know what's happening to you like i think That's that's what makes it cool yeah it's like smiling in your face and then you're actually

[1:10:00]Telling somebody to eat shit yes it's slightly less subtle it's a little more subtle than that Wootank track where they're talking about sticking a hot wire up your ass for a while I don't know what i know hey everybody let's get into everybody's favorite part the rating system And now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show The patent and very popular beck did it better rating system i know it's getting late because i Was looking at the word rating and i was like ratting how can i make a joke about ratting and I was like you can't you can't make a joke about ratting you need to let these guys talk it's Getting late let this podcast end oh my god so much editing i have to do all right so guys Our rating system of course is very simple is this is the 34th album on the list is this a Well-toned that means it is perfect at 34 listen did it used to be at 12 or something yes it got Bumped back to 34 people were like stevie get back there you're still great but we need you back

[1:11:00]There that means it's well-toned if you think it's 34 it's awesome it's great is this a rolling Boned did this get rolling boned it should be way higher than 34 you can't believe it's back at 34 This is ridiculous it should be a lower number and therefore higher up on the list and earlier In this podcast or is this a rolling groan You don't like it you don't care for it we should be covering this next week we should be covering This and by the way in 2025 when we'll almost be up to episode 100 not to depress you guys But what do you think matt give me your rating on this well i think if it's rolling well i'm going To have to say that this is going to be rolling groaned and i think this should be higher on The list which means it's a low lower on the list which means it has a higher number that's right It's so simple okay it's finally getting down here we go Rating system russ what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan I think the really interesting thing to me is you have to give him so much credit for playing all

[1:12:00]The instruments on this there's not a lot of albums where someone is just if this is a complete One-man show and it's absolutely amazing i really love the second half of too high i love higher Ground i love living in the city but for me there are too many songs that are too slow so i'm going To follow matt and say rolling groan but i did really enjoy the keyboards and a lot of the album Rating system rosie what do you think yeah i've wrestled with this as we've been listening To this one because as i said it was for a long time my favorite stevie wonder album i'm sure It's still the one that i've listened to the most and when you wrestled with it it is true that Your favorite wrestling move is where you burp and say you've had way too much sushi you ate like A pig yeah and then do the atomic leg drop immediately following but i as i said i i Couldn't anymore necessarily choose between this one talking book music My mind and fulfilling this first finale but all of that aside it's a monumental achievement i Still love it the only song that to me is a skipper is all's fair in love everything else

[1:13:00]Is an absolute classic and so some album from stevie wonder should have been at this spot From any one of those that this run that he had so i'm going to say it is rolling Well toned would you shut the fuck up about the suez canal Like we're done talking about the suez canal You're obsessed with that shit how does my door dash driver get through the canal how do these People eat right what are they doing for fun did they run out of like have they already read all The books that are on board like do they have internet i don't even know have they i'm gonna I'm gonna update my my profile immediately to reference the suez canal and just see what the Results are can you imagine being on a boat with aaron in the suez canal and he's like have you Guys read all these books on board like no we have been shooting at pirates this whole time What have you been doing I'm gonna be worrying about a lot of things as stevie wonder once said if i put the suez canal On my dating app listen these pirates are trying to come on and steal all these bike seats or

[1:14:00]Whatever we're transporting to the united states like plastic things that you're gonna find in Cereal boxes like who cares the pirates are gonna come take them we're trying to shoot people aaron's Reading the all right i just restated the joke listen guys this gets a rolling instrumentation Oh yeah yes he played all of them it's unbelievable and he is so talented and slate ran a great Series a while ago said musicians that we should respect because they're still alive and stevie Wonder was the first one yes it's like yes you do have to appreciate that he He had this run in the early 70s of just crushing it over and over and whether it's your Kind of music or not you i do think putting it if you compare it to those other songs i talked About earlier there this the sound is absolutely mind-blowing it'd be copied it would be imitated But it's it's it's it's pretty unbelievable for what he came out with at the time but it's it's It's it's pretty unbelievable for what he came out with at the time but it's it's it's it's it's pretty Unbelievable for what he came out with at the time but it's it's it's it's it's pretty unbelievable for what he came Out with at the time listen that's it for this week next week though we've got beatles rubber soul Tax man wait don't do that one yes we did are you seriously asking if we did that one i don't
