Dr.Dre: The Chronic (1992) (... the 4/20 episode!)
[00:00]In 2020, four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by Rolling Stone magazine.
[00:05]This resulted in a tech chain that celebrated the music, excoriated the order, and led us to making this podcast.
[00:11]We are far from experts, and we promise to do almost no research.
[00:14]All opinions are our own, unless you disagree.
[00:17]Please sit back and enjoy Beck Did It Better.
[00:20]We are all the way up to album 36.
[00:23]This is Dr. Dre and The Chronic.
[00:30]All right, so guys, actually, instead of a radio today, you know what?
[00:34]I don't think that's legal in Minnesota, man.
[00:35]Fuck the radio.
[00:36]We are going to go straight to the TV.
[00:40]Let's turn on the TV, and I just found a great game show that's on.
[00:43]It's called the $64,000 Beck Did It Better Pyramid.
[00:48]All right, everybody.
[00:51]Welcome to the $64,000 Beck Did It Better Pyramid.
[00:56]I'm your host.
[00:57]Something that's not Rob.
[00:59]That is.
[01:00]I didn't think of it beforehand.
[01:00]We've got two contestants here.
[01:03]We've got Rob and Matt.
[01:04]Rob, how are you doing?
[01:05]I'm doing quite well.
[01:06]Matt, how are you doing today?
[01:07]Pretty good.
[01:09]Oh, great.
[01:10]I'm glad I picked Matt to improvise with me.
[01:12]This is going to be great.
[01:13]I can't hardly wait.
[01:13]All right.
[01:14]Are you ready, Matt, for the $64,000 Beck Did It Better Pyramid?
[01:18]Yes.
[01:20]All right.
[01:20]Love that energy.
[01:21]That's great.
[01:22]All right.
[01:22]Here we go.
[01:23]And begin.
[01:25]What he ate.
[01:28]Some fucked up things in his house.
[01:30]Motown drummer Shorty Long.
[01:32]Things.
[01:33]That guy who laughs funny.
[01:34]Aaron.
[01:35]The things that Aaron brings up on this episode.
[01:37]All right.
[01:39]Nice job.
[01:39]All right.
[01:40]185.
[01:42]36.
[01:43]Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
[01:45]How many times Rob says, all right, when he doesn't know what to say.
[01:50]Nice job.
[01:52]All right.
[01:52]Five sentences.
[01:54]Not much.
[01:57]Not at all when we're actually talking about the album.
[02:00]How much Matt will talk on this episode?
[02:01]All right.
[02:03]He didn't want to go over the limit there.
[02:05]Oh, yeah.
[02:07]Hey, guys.
[02:08]I like the show, but I noticed Russell said some things, and he's wrong about this.
[02:14]What do people say when they call the Beck line?
[02:17]All right.
[02:18]Nice job.
[02:18]Yes.
[02:20]Wow.
[02:21]Sounds cool, man.
[02:22]Oh, wow.
[02:23]Everyone has one these days.
[02:25]Yeah.
[02:25]I'll be sure to tell it.
[02:27]I'll be sure to listen.
[02:28]Hey, can I tell you about a podcast?
[02:30]I like.
[02:30]Oh, what are things people say when you talk to them about the podcast?
[02:34]Yeah.
[02:35]Yeah.
[02:37]When you want to hear about.
[02:39]Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
[02:40]Yeah.
[02:42]Yeah.
[02:42]But you're just too lazy to just get up online.
[02:46]I noticed that was five sentences.
[02:49]If you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track.
[02:52]I like that bit.
[02:53]We should just do that bit every time.
[02:54]I've got the perfect podcast for you, Jack.
[02:58]Beck.
[02:59]It's better.
[03:00]All right, everybody.
[03:01]Welcome to the weed smoking Davenport of love here on our special 420 episode.
[03:08]We were supposed to do Michael Jackson off the wall, but we realized almost immediately
[03:13]afterwards that this was coming out on 420.
[03:15]My dumb shit co-host finally realized that, oh, we should pay attention to the date that
[03:19]things come out and the chronic was next.
[03:21]So we just got to skip ahead to Dr.
[03:23]Dre and the chronic.
[03:25]So here we have three guys who are watching their calories.
[03:28]So they don't want to be on the show.
[03:29]They don't want to eat a big fat dick.
[03:30]Hey, do you have any of that diet dick or possibly that impossible meat dick?
[03:35]I got Matt in Minneapolis.
[03:37]Matt, how are you doing?
[03:38]Excellent, Rob.
[03:39]Thanks for having me as always.
[03:40]Glad to be here.
[03:41]I got Russell in Minnesota.
[03:42]Russell, how are you doing?
[03:43]Hey, Rob, put down that candy and let the little boy go.
[03:46]You know what I'm saying?
[03:47]Podcasting motherfucker.
[03:49]I am literally scared of all of this.
[03:53]I'm scared of the album.
[03:54]I'm scared of you guys.
[03:55]This all scares me.
[03:56]And I've got the person who literally is closest to the Compton.
[03:59]Swap me out in California.
[04:02]How are you doing, Rosie?
[04:02]I hope I'm not stranded on Beck.
[04:05]Did it better row, but I'm doing pretty good.
[04:07]Rosie, is that some ligma in the background?
[04:10]All right.
[04:15]First up, we've got right away, right off the bat, guys.
[04:19]Let's go.
[04:19]And we're going to play our second favorite, our second game show of the night.
[04:23]This is unbelievable.
[04:24]I can't believe this is happening.
[04:25]I'm so excited.
[04:26]TV back on the TV back.
[04:28]Let's turn it back on.
[04:29]And oh, guys, look what's on.
[04:31]It's our favorite game show.
[04:32]It's time for everybody's favorite game show, air in or air out.
[04:38]Oh, this is new.
[04:39]We want to hear about the crazy things that Aaron say.
[04:44]How he doesn't use the dryer.
[04:46]He don't use his microwave.
[04:48]We want to figure out what this Aaron guy's about.
[04:52]So we're going to play our favorite game, air in or air out.
[04:56]Yes.
[04:57]You know what?
[04:59]You know, Rob just made that song so he could drop a little more bass in that voice.
[05:04]Didn't you, Rob?
[05:04]I did.
[05:05]Well, you know what really helps is do you guys see this Bofa thing I have on my microphone?
[05:08]Bofa these nuts.
[05:11]All right.
[05:13]Let's this is a game where none of us know the answer, possibly even Aaron, to be honest.
[05:19]And we're going to guess basically over unders about things in Aaron's life.
[05:23]And we're going to see who has the most points at the end.
[05:25]So I've got Russell versus Matt versus Rob.
[05:27]Which one of us knows Aaron?
[05:29]And which one of us is air out?
[05:31]So I'm going to be keeping score.
[05:33]I have five questions for Aaron.
[05:35]Aaron, do not fuck this up.
[05:37]Don't answer this until I tell you to.
[05:39]Okay.
[05:39]The first question is this.
[05:41]And we're going to, we're just going to start with an easy one.
[05:43]Well, this will be a practice round.
[05:44]Okay.
[05:44]Round one is a practice round.
[05:46]Did Aaron ever subscribe to the Columbia house record deal where you got one album for a penny
[05:52]and then the rest of them cost a million dollars for the rest of your life and possibly impacted
[05:55]your credit?
[05:56]I'm going to say absolutely.
[05:58]Yes.
[05:59]100%.
[05:59]Aaron probably subscribed to that a number of times.
[06:01]Matt, what do you think?
[06:02]Well, for sure.
[06:03]You had a little stamp.
[06:04]So you put the little stamp down on the sheet and he sent it in for sure.
[06:07]Yep.
[06:07]Russell, what do you think?
[06:09]I'll go against the grade.
[06:10]I'm going to say Aaron wanted to pay more for music and make sure they got the royalties.
[06:14]I bet he did not take the deal.
[06:15]And the correct answer is Aaron.
[06:17]Did you ever deal with the Columbia house?
[06:20]Whatever that was the record club.
[06:23]I did not.
[06:25]I frequently and crossed off CDs that I would want, but I never did.
[06:29]I never made the full commitment of actually sending in the envelope as Matt referenced.
[06:33]Are you serious?
[06:34]I would have bet $10,000 that you were a member of that probably a couple of times over actually
[06:40]like Aaron and then there was like Aaron and then there was like Ms. Aaron.
[06:45]You know what I mean?
[06:46]Like all the different catalog.
[06:47]You guys remember that it was like little tiny thumbnail pictures of CDs and I used
[06:51]to circle them like, well, I want the Joe to see one and I want, you know, uh, some
[06:56]other band, you know, uh, Milli Vanilli or whatever.
[06:58]But yeah, I never actually saw it.
[06:59]I didn't know that I was going to do it.
[07:00]I was like, okay, I'm going to do it.
[07:00]How did you make my fun bit boring in one sentence?
[07:03]You somehow made this boring.
[07:04]I'm bored.
[07:04]I came up with this bit.
[07:06]When you get a question wrong and you have chin nuts with nuts by your chin, would you
[07:12]call those chin nuts?
[07:13]I have an issue to take with the jokes, by the way, on this album.
[07:16]I don't think they're very good.
[07:17]I don't think that chin nuts joke is very good.
[07:19]What are chin nuts?
[07:20]That doesn't even make sense.
[07:21]Oh, Rob, you'd have something else in your mouth instead.
[07:24]Well, it's not like, I'll tell you what though.
[07:26]It's not like, do you see what I have behind me?
[07:27]This dragon, what dragon?
[07:29]He's not.
[07:29]Chin nuts on your face.
[07:30]All right.
[07:31]Okay.
[07:34]Here's the next one.
[07:34]Ready?
[07:34]So right now, Russ has a point.
[07:36]Matt and I have a rip.
[07:38]All right.
[07:39]So next one.
[07:40]Does Aaron have natural peanut butter in his house that you have to stir to mix the oil
[07:45]together?
[07:46]Russell, you're going to go first.
[07:48]What do you think?
[07:48]No, I bet they don't have any peanut butter in the house.
[07:53]Oh God.
[07:53]That's a good bet.
[07:54]I didn't even think about that.
[07:55]Oh, Matt, what do you think?
[07:57]Does a sun butter count?
[07:59]So like sunflower seeds, does that count as what he has?
[08:03]I'm going to say no.
[08:04]This is just peanut butter.
[08:05]It has to be the natural.
[08:06]I'm going to say no then.
[08:06]He does not have it.
[08:07]He's got something other than peanut butter in his house.
[08:10]You guys are idiots.
[08:11]The answer is obviously going to be yes.
[08:13]He loves to take that peanut butter and what a pain in the ass to stir it up.
[08:16]You know, he's got that peanut butter and you know, it's a natural peanut butter.
[08:19]Aaron, lay it on us.
[08:20]What do you got?
[08:20]Rob is correct.
[08:22]We go through one to two jars of natural peanut butter every couple of weeks.
[08:26]And yes, I was, I was throwing a fit yesterday.
[08:29]As I was, we got some stuff that was different from usual and I was trying to stir it.
[08:33]It was way worse to stir.
[08:34]Even if you store it upside down.
[08:35]Yeah.
[08:36]So Rob is correct.
[08:38]Can you imagine stirring peanut butter?
[08:40]We have to use it.
[08:40]That is insane to me.
[08:42]That is like settler times.
[08:43]That is like little house on the prairie.
[08:44]Just the first time.
[08:45]That's all you got to do.
[08:46]Just the first time.
[08:47]I think I'd rather be single for the rest of my life than have to stir peanut butter
[08:50]on a regular basis.
[08:51]I'm happy with my life.
[08:52]It's really delicious.
[08:54]It's just peanuts and salt.
[08:55]No, you're wrong.
[08:56]All right.
[08:57]So next up question.
[08:59]Number three over under does Aaron own 5.5 ties and we're talking long ties.
[09:07]Bow ties do not count 5.5 ties.
[09:11]Matt and then me and then Russell under.
[09:14]Okay.
[09:16]I'm going to say over Russell.
[09:18]What do you think?
[09:19]I think he's got to have over Aaron can be a well-dressed man when he needs to be.
[09:22]And I can see Aaron also being the guy who does the kind of half buttoned up shirt with
[09:26]the half down tie for like a dress.
[09:29]Supplication.
[09:30]He's got more than five and a half easily.
[09:31]All right, Aaron.
[09:32]How many ties do you have?
[09:33]I would say around eight.
[09:35]Russell is right around eight.
[09:38]Count it.
[09:40]Oh, wait a minute.
[09:41]All right.
[09:42]You love that sound.
[09:43]It makes it feel official.
[09:44]What are you doing?
[09:44]I've been in four weddings in the last 10 years, so I've got one from each of those.
[09:49]Probably if you were going to make a game show on the show and you realize it's going
[09:52]to be too long and boring, would you do over three questions?
[09:54]And the answer is yes.
[09:55]Over.
[09:58]All right.
[09:59]Second to last question.
[10:00]Penultimate question.
[10:01]Does Aaron own a paddle of any kind?
[10:03]And I'm going to count a ping pong paddle.
[10:05]I'm going to count a sex paddle.
[10:07]I am going to count a canoe paddle.
[10:10]Okay.
[10:11]What do you think?
[10:11]Does Aaron own a paddle of any kind?
[10:13]I'm going to say yes.
[10:14]He has to own a paddle.
[10:16]What do you think, Matt?
[10:17]What do you think?
[10:18]All right.
[10:19]Yeah, I'm going to say yes.
[10:20]It feels like there's got to be some sort of kitchen utensil with all of his cooking
[10:24]that he does.
[10:25]It's considered a paddle.
[10:26]So I'm going to go.
[10:26]Yes, that is a fucking insane answer.
[10:28]What?
[10:29]Kitchen utensil is considered a paddle.
[10:30]I mean, anything's a paddle.
[10:32]You're using it the right way.
[10:33]You know what I'm talking about.
[10:33]Yeah, and like a Cuisinart mixer, right?
[10:36]Isn't there a paddle attachment if you're going to make bread or something?
[10:39]I think so.
[10:39]No, that's a dough hook.
[10:41]You're thinking.
[10:42]Do I get a guess or not?
[10:44]Yes, Russell.
[10:45]What do you think?
[10:45]I'm going to say Aaron and his lovely bride had an unfortunate incident with a paddle
[10:50]somewhere in their early marriage years, and they got rid of all paddles.
[10:53]No paddles in the house.
[10:55]All right.
[10:56]Matt and Russ say.
[10:56]That sounds like inside information.
[10:58]Matt and Rob say.
[10:58]Matt and Rob say yes.
[10:59]Russ says no.
[11:00]Aaron, what is the correct answer?
[11:00]No, Aaron told you he wouldn't let me in the bedroom.
[11:03]I don't know.
[11:03]Was it just all paddles?
[11:05]Just walls and walls of paddles?
[11:07]Is the question in the house or on the premises?
[11:10]I'm going to go with in the house because that's what I said.
[11:13]No, do not have a paddle in the house.
[11:15]I have a paddle in the garage for my stand-up paddleboard, but it's not in the house.
[11:20]In that sex tent.
[11:21]I should have guessed a stand-up paddleboard.
[11:23]God damn it.
[11:24]You talked about that, too, and I wasn't listening.
[11:25]So, so far, the score right now is Matt.
[11:28]So surprising.
[11:28]Matt somehow has zero.
[11:29]Matt, you've got zero correct.
[11:31]That is unbelievable.
[11:32]You're air out.
[11:33]I've got two.
[11:34]Russell has got three.
[11:35]So this is for the tie for Rob.
[11:37]The final question, okay?
[11:39]And this one is not a yes, no.
[11:41]You have to name it.
[11:42]What name one type of bread that Aaron has in the house?
[11:46]You need to name the type of bread that Aaron has in the house, and I will accept homemade
[11:50]or no bread as an answer as well.
[11:53]Okay.
[11:54]I'm going to go first.
[11:55]I'm going to say famous.
[11:57]No, what's that one?
[11:58]What's that?
[11:58]Dave.
[11:58]I'm just going to say Ezekiel bread.
[12:02]I'm going to say Ezekiel bread.
[12:03]What is Ezekiel bread?
[12:04]Well, see, exactly.
[12:05]That's why Aaron has it.
[12:06]You don't know what Ezekiel bread is.
[12:07]I'm still not sure.
[12:08]It's something with the Bible.
[12:09]Yeah, it's spread of greens in it.
[12:11]It's not that great.
[12:12]Yes.
[12:12]Oh, no, that doesn't make me feel good.
[12:14]Matt, what do you think?
[12:15]Well, if it doesn't sound that great, then he probably does have it in his house.
[12:19]I'm going to go with he's got, I'm guessing he's got some sort of sourdough kit or something.
[12:28]So he's got some sourdough.
[12:28]I'll give you credit for a starter.
[12:30]Russell, what kind of bread does Aaron have?
[12:32]I'm going to, what's that kind of brownish bread with maybe white on it a little bit.
[12:37]You guys know what I'm talking about?
[12:38]Is that a rye?
[12:38]Are you thinking of a rye?
[12:39]I'm going to go pumpernickel.
[12:41]They've got pumpernickel in the house, I'll say.
[12:42]Brown bread.
[12:43]Isn't that pumpernickel, Matt?
[12:45]All right.
[12:46]I think so.
[12:46]Aaron, tell us what kind of bread do you have in the house?
[12:49]I'm very sad to announce that Rob actually came the closest when he started to say Dave's
[12:54]killer bread.
[12:54]We always, we get, it's always Dave's killer bread in the, in the fridge.
[12:58]And I, I don't know.
[12:58]Like maybe we buy like a loaf from the bakery once in a while, but yeah, we do the Dave's
[13:02]killer.
[13:02]That's it.
[13:04]That's why you were on the right track, Rob.
[13:06]All right.
[13:07]So none of us got that right.
[13:08]That's a huge bummer.
[13:09]And the winner is absolutely 100% Russell.
[13:12]Way to go, Russell.
[13:15]We don't have time for the whole theme song.
[13:18]Okay.
[13:18]I'm sorry.
[13:19]We can't, but good job, Russell.
[13:20]You know, Aaron better than anybody else, which you should, because you guys lived together
[13:22]for like 25 years.
[13:24]Hey, I'm not from, I'm not from crisscross Rob, but every time I see you, I'm like,
[13:28]every time I pull through the drive-thru, they call me the big Mac daddy.
[13:31]Is that a joke you wrote down?
[13:36]You damn right.
[13:37]That joke down.
[13:37]That was my backup one.
[13:39]If I didn't want to go with the punk motherfucker at the beginning.
[13:41]So you did right.
[13:42]Yeah.
[13:42]Have you guys seen, you know, on my list today?
[13:44]I, so now let's do our, our not favorite segment.
[13:48]We're just doing it for today.
[13:48]We have picked out our favorite songs about weed to celebrate four 20 on this lovely Tuesday.
[13:55]One of my favorite songs is by, uh, imagine dragon.
[13:58]Imagine dragons, these nuts on your face.
[14:02]You guys know what I'm talking about?
[14:03]All right.
[14:05]So I'm going to start.
[14:05]I have picked one of my favorite songs of all time.
[14:08]That is about the marriage.
[14:09]Iwana is absolutely.
[14:10]When I found about this on the podcast, it blew my mind.
[14:13]The Beatles got to get you into my life.
[14:20]Everybody thinks it's a love song, but Paul McCartney later admitted it was about the sticky
[14:25]icky.
[14:25]Nice.
[14:28]Okay, guys, feel free to help me out at any time here with the segment.
[14:32]I feel like I'm kind of.
[14:33]So for the Beatles, who is the, were they all into weed or didn't, did Lennon get into the
[14:38]big, the harder stuff or who was the, who was the real driver of weed for the Beatles?
[14:42]All of them.
[14:43]I don't know.
[14:44]The fact that one of them would be like, Hey, Hey guys, we should go to India and live at
[14:48]a camp.
[14:49]And they're like, yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
[14:50]That sounds like a high idea to me.
[14:52]Like big time, like going to India, work on our meditation.
[14:55]Definitely sounds like a high idea to me.
[14:57]Maybe we should take one.
[14:58]One of these trips for one of our, our hundredth episode or something, we could take a, a trip
[15:03]to India for recording.
[15:04]Oh my God.
[15:05]That's such a good idea.
[15:06]I love, I love having mind bending diarrhea.
[15:10]And that sounds like a great trip where I could get some of that.
[15:12]Oh my God.
[15:13]Just clear out my whole system.
[15:14]It'd be great.
[15:15]Who do you think that out of the four of us would be the first one to get homesick and
[15:18]start whining like John Lennon on the trip?
[15:20]I'm going to say it's the one of us with no kids.
[15:23]It's going to be Russell.
[15:24]He wants to get back home.
[15:25]The rest of us will stay in India.
[15:26]I don't want to spend more time with these three guys.
[15:28]Yeah, exactly.
[15:29]Russell's like, this actually sucks.
[15:31]And we're like, wait a minute.
[15:33]We're sleeping.
[15:33]We're sleeping till 8 30 AM.
[15:35]This is the greatest days of our life.
[15:37]Hey guys, I booked a flight to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow.
[15:39]I'll see you later.
[15:40]All right, Matt, tell me what was your favorite song about the cannabis?
[15:47]And I'm already running out of nicknames for it.
[15:49]Cannabis sativa.
[15:50]I chose a Tom Petty song.
[15:53]You don't know how it feels.
[15:54]Um, comes up wild flowers, which is one of my favorite songs.
[15:58]My favorite Tom, one of my favorite albums of all time.
[16:00]Um, he just says it right here.
[16:03]Another John.
[16:06]Yeah.
[16:07]When you guys heard this song as kids, what did you picture as really looking like?
[16:11]I swear I didn't know what a joint looked like till I saw Daisy Confused.
[16:13]Well, they didn't, they didn't play this language on the radio, right?
[16:17]Didn't they used to change the lyrics on the radio?
[16:19]They didn't say joint.
[16:21]They would kind of, uh, let's get to the point.
[16:24]Something else.
[16:25]It was, it was not, they just blanked it out or what?
[16:28]But yeah.
[16:28]But no, I had a, I had a, I had a few friends growing up that really liked to smoke weed
[16:33]and I never did.
[16:34]I never, and then I had a job later in life that I got tested.
[16:37]So even then, like when it was like, everybody's doing it, why not?
[16:41]I just never, never came to me.
[16:43]So, but I heard a lot of, a lot of weed songs in my life from, uh, some very good friends.
[16:49]So Tom Petty, Last Dance with Mary Jane, that's gotta be a weed song, right?
[16:53]Why, why do you pick this one over the other one?
[16:55]Uh, it, the whole album, the whole.
[16:58]The whole Wildflowers album.
[16:59]It's very, um, it's, it's a banger.
[17:03]I love that album.
[17:04]It's so good.
[17:04]We'll get to it some point.
[17:06]I think it's on the list some point, but, um, I think it's just, just that album in general.
[17:10]And that's the best song.
[17:12]And then even the video, if you guys can remember the video, um, it's literally Tom Petty in
[17:16]the middle and they're circling around and they just, they keep changing the scenes,
[17:20]but that never, the video never stops or the tape never stops.
[17:24]And so, I mean, just the video was pretty cool in itself.
[17:27]And so, I don't know.
[17:28]I would also argue that Last Dance with Mary Jane, I don't actually think is a good song.
[17:32]It's, I, it's, what?
[17:34]Well, why do you think it's not a good song?
[17:36]What are you talking about?
[17:37]I, it's, it's just not, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's not his best song.
[17:41]There's so many better Tom Petty songs.
[17:43]But the guitar lick at the beginning, you don't, you're not into that?
[17:45]Uh, are you talking about, once again, I'll bring it up again, running down a dream.
[17:49]I think that's what you're thinking of as the ultimate guitar lick.
[17:51]No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[17:55]It's, it's, it's, it's, you're wrong about that.
[17:57]Russell just doesn't like it because this one starts off with a harmonica.
[18:00]That's true.
[18:01]It does, it does bring me to that Bob Dylan place in my life where I don't need to go back.
[18:05]So, he's just trying to find anything to get off of this song.
[18:08]All right, all right.
[18:09]Oh, look, there's some Tom Petty right there.
[18:11]He's playing the band.
[18:11]Speaking of harmonicas, I was screwing around on Cameo.
[18:16]Have you guys ever done a Cameo before where you can get a celebrity?
[18:19]Tried.
[18:20]We tried looking at all these.
[18:21]I was trying to find Herbie Mann, see if we can get him on or a push, push.
[18:25]You can get a John Popper Cameo and he'll play the harmonica on the Cameo for you.
[18:31]It's pretty cool.
[18:31]Does it sound as good as Rob's clip right there?
[18:33]I want to, I want to have him do one where he says he's a shitty harmonica player because
[18:37]he can't do the chromatic like Stevie Wonder or whatever it is, right?
[18:40]Yeah, that would be, oh, that'd be unbelievable.
[18:42]Sarah and her friends and, you know, our, our key demographic, 40-year-old housewives
[18:48]in Minnesota, all of them, one of them.
[18:51]That's half of my, that's half of a Google search I do.
[18:53]One of them got Kato Kaelin for one of their friends.
[18:58]Remember Kato Kaelin?
[18:59]Oh yeah.
[18:59]And it was hilarious.
[19:01]I saw, you know, he did this whole thing and he like made this song for the person's birthday.
[19:06]He was great.
[19:07]He did awesome.
[19:07]So yeah, I don't know.
[19:09]Kato Kaelin, I'll plug him.
[19:11]Should we be on Cameo as like a foursome?
[19:13]Should we charge like 30 bucks for Cameo?
[19:15]Hey, listen, if you want us to do a Cameo for you, email BeckDidItBetter,
[19:21]subject Cameo, because by the way, we get approximately 10 emails a day offering us
[19:25]discounted insurance.
[19:26]So whoever signed us up for that mailing list, I really appreciate it.
[19:29]But put it in the subject Cameo and just tell us what to talk about.
[19:32]We will make you a Cameo video and send it to you for an undisclosed price that we'll
[19:37]announce later.
[19:38]I was looking to get us a Cameo for this album and Daz Dillinger is actually, will do Cameos
[19:43]and he is high as fuck when he does these things.
[19:46]And according to the website, he will turn them around in under, under $80.
[19:51]So I could have gotten it done, but I didn't think it was worth 200 bucks.
[19:54]So I decided not to do it.
[19:56]Oh my God.
[19:56]200 bucks for a high.
[19:57]And who is Daz Dillinger again?
[20:00]I didn't want to ask until he's 200 bucks.
[20:01]Shot in this record, Rob.
[20:04]Is that Dr. Dre's real name is Daz Dillinger?
[20:06]No, he's another guy on the record.
[20:08]Snoop Dogg's real name is Daz Dillinger?
[20:11]I don't know.
[20:12]Snoop Dogg does Cameos, but he's no longer available.
[20:14]So he must not have been getting paid enough for him.
[20:16]That way.
[20:17]Oh my God.
[20:18]Can you imagine getting his Cameo from Snoop Dogg?
[20:21]That would be incredible.
[20:22]I'd show that to my kids.
[20:23]All right.
[20:24]Who I've not been paying attention.
[20:26]Who has next on the weed song list?
[20:28]I, you know, I would have, uh, we, we talked about this a little bit in pre-show as a Bay
[20:33]area native.
[20:33]I should take the 500 remix by the loonies, but, uh, the one that's a little bit closer
[20:38]to my heart is illegal smile by John prime.
[20:40]It's just such a pretty song.
[20:42]He later said that this song was not about weed, but, uh, in the chorus.
[20:51]And he says, if you see me tonight with an illegal smile, what could this possibly be?
[21:01]But what did he say?
[21:01]This was about like stealing cable from your neighbors.
[21:04]Like what is he talking about?
[21:05]It was about, you know, feeling happy on the inside and not having to express it.
[21:09]But, you know, it says, please tell the man I didn't kill anyone.
[21:12]I'm just trying to have me some fun.
[21:13]It all, it all sounds like weed to me.
[21:15]And in my brain, it is.
[21:17]I love John prime.
[21:18]So that was, that was mine.
[21:19]He just says a voice that makes.
[21:21]You want to smile, right?
[21:22]This is fantastic.
[21:23]There's a song.
[21:24]I don't know if you guys have ever heard it.
[21:25]I got into fishing songs this summer.
[21:28]I was trying to do trivia for my brother's resort.
[21:31]I was trying to find all these fishing songs, but he has a song called fish and whistle.
[21:34]And it will just put a permanent smile on your face.
[21:37]Rob, add that shit to the podcast.
[21:40]I hear it right now.
[21:42]I hear it right now.
[21:43]Oh, what a great song.
[21:44]Fish and whistle.
[21:45]Whistle and fish.
[21:46]Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
[21:49]Okay.
[21:49]Well, if we're talking fishing song, I'm going to go with fish and whistle.
[21:51]I'm also going to play Taj Mahal's fish and blues.
[21:53]That's going to be in the background off the.
[21:55]No, not, not, not.
[21:55]May the circle be a broken album.
[21:57]Not fish that we eat.
[21:58]What?
[22:01]What?
[22:01]Are you talking about getting your bangs wet?
[22:04]Huh?
[22:09]I don't know what's going on.
[22:10]Okay.
[22:11]We have lost all control.
[22:13]Russ, you better be dirty like that.
[22:16]Why don't you tell us what's your favorite song.
[22:17]Getting your bangs wet.
[22:18]About the Mary Jane.
[22:20]I, I, I don't know.
[22:21]I don't know.
[22:21]I have to go with Cypress Hill hits from the bong.
[22:23]To me, this is going back to when, you know, the house of pain was big.
[22:28]I feel like Cypress Hill.
[22:29]I don't know if it's the same guys or there's some crossover, but this song just is bad-ass.
[22:35]This is my favorite weed song.
[22:36]And definitely one of the earlier.
[22:39]Wow.
[22:39]And it samples dusty Springfield.
[22:42]I never knew that.
[22:42]Let's be clear.
[22:44]Those bubbles are sound effects.
[22:45]Okay.
[22:45]And this was in those early days.
[22:49]I mean, we'll talk about this later with the album.
[22:50]But all these songs were like, I mean, I guess Matt was exposed a bit earlier, but you know,
[22:55]just these were words that we didn't hear in music at all.
[22:58]And I, I didn't know it.
[22:59]So stuff like it hits from the bong and the chronic were like early in jokes to me.
[23:04]And the correct answer, by the way, for the best weed song ever.
[23:06]And I didn't pick it because I was convinced someone else was going to pick it.
[23:09]It's obviously there's only one choice.
[23:14]It's Afro, man, because I got high.
[23:17]I'm going to go to 30 seconds because that's where all the songs pick up.
[23:20]Watch this.
[23:20]See, nailed it.
[23:23]We listened to this one a lot on Napster back in the dorm room.
[23:31]This is a Napster classic, wasn't it?
[23:33]Yeah, I'm sure he never got paid enough for his contributions.
[23:36]This and anything by OAR that Jeff from Apple Valley would just handle at his house parties.
[23:41]And it was so, it was so funny because it was like, there was so many guys at our college that would listen to this.
[23:47]And then if you were like, hey, do you know where to buy weed?
[23:49]We'd be like, I have no idea.
[23:50]I have no idea.
[23:51]I have no idea.
[23:53]But this song fucking rocks.
[23:54]I was just going to say, I think Afro, man, because I got high is the weed song for people that don't use weed.
[24:01]Like the people that use weed.
[24:04]I like if someone pulled up, you're like, hey, let's go to the park.
[24:07]We're going to smoke some weed.
[24:08]And they turned Afro, man, on their car.
[24:10]You'd be like, get the fuck out of here.
[24:12]There's no way any of these other songs.
[24:15]If someone played John Prine, you would be down with that.
[24:17]But you can't smoke weed to Afro, man, right?
[24:20]Rob, it was funny, though.
[24:21]The guys in college who were really way into weed culture, you know, they could walk in and they had like a Bob Marley poster and then like a psychedelic poster.
[24:28]All the black light stuff.
[24:29]Oh, yeah.
[24:30]And you're like, oh, I don't think I like it this much.
[24:33]Like, I just want to I want to hang out with normal people.
[24:36]I don't need to watch like 2001 A Space Odyssey.
[24:39]Yep.
[24:40]Turn the lights down.
[24:41]Turn on 2001 A Space Odyssey.
[24:42]All right.
[24:43]There we go.
[24:44]What do we do next?
[24:44]Oh, my God.
[24:45]We haven't even gotten to Rolling Gold yet.
[24:46]We got it.
[24:47]We got a time.
[24:47]This is a disaster.
[24:49]All right.
[24:49]So if you're hearing this, I probably.
[24:50]We're going to cut out everything out.
[24:51]So we're all another joint.
[24:54]All right.
[24:55]This is rolling a joint.
[24:56]Let's get here.
[24:57]We go to the point.
[24:58]This is rolling a joint going a special for 20 edition.
[25:02]It's time to see what everybody's up to.
[25:06]It's time for those are all sound effects from the computer.
[25:10]Oh, yeah.
[25:12]All right.
[25:14]And Matt rolling going.
[25:15]How's it going with you?
[25:16]Good.
[25:17]I'll try to keep it quick.
[25:18]I got a basketball.
[25:20]Hoop this week.
[25:21]Ooh, bought it off next door.
[25:24]Did you hang it up?
[25:25]It is.
[25:25]Are you just like putting it in front of the kids and be like,
[25:27]if you do well at school, eventually I'm going to get a net and a ball.
[25:30]And then if you really do well, it's one of those things that we had.
[25:32]I had a, I had a basketball hoop growing up and my brother and I would play
[25:35]nonstop in the spring and it's finally spring here in Minnesota.
[25:38]I'm like, I just missed shooting baskets.
[25:41]So went and found one on next door for like 40 bucks and threw it in my
[25:45]little blue truck and we've played every day since.
[25:47]So beat Sarah and horse today.
[25:48]Nice.
[25:49]Good.
[25:50]Actually, she's really good.
[25:51]So Matt, what's your go-to shot in horse?
[25:53]I like either throwing, like, you know,
[25:57]going from some weird angle and saying you got to bank it or telling
[26:01]somebody they got to shoot left-handed or doing like granny shot, you know,
[26:03]just anything that people can't, can't think to do.
[26:07]You got to be at the age where you're going to start breaking out the old
[26:10]man hook shot.
[26:11]Like when you hit 40, I think it's time for the hook shot to come out.
[26:15]Right.
[26:15]It is.
[26:16]You know, so Eddie, so my, my, my little guy is five.
[26:19]And so the hoops way down.
[26:20]I went and bought him like a little ball so he could shoot and stuff.
[26:22]So it's like at like, I don't know, seven and a half, somewhere where I can
[26:26]dunk.
[26:26]And so Russell, I, I'm just, I just feel like, man, I'm, I'm athletic.
[26:31]I am unbelievably athletic because I can dunk on this seven foot hoop.
[26:34]How many times in the last week have you swatted the shit out of Eddie and
[26:38]then given him the Dikembe Mutombo finger?
[26:40]I haven't given the figure yet, but we, but we, but he'll, he'll want to play.
[26:45]He'll be like, okay, it's a me and Leo versus you.
[26:48]I'm like, okay.
[26:48]And so then boom, just start.
[26:50]And then they started crying and go.
[26:51]So I'm so good.
[26:52]Joe, Joe from, uh, yeah.
[26:54]Joe from Woodbury taught me that just, no, don't you, you're playing your kids.
[26:59]You play to win.
[27:00]Screw that.
[27:00]Let them, they got to learn, but I have some really important questions about
[27:03]this hoop.
[27:03]Can I ask some questions about it?
[27:05]You can ask some very important.
[27:06]First of all, is the, is the rim spring loaded?
[27:09]Is there a spring so you can hang on that rim?
[27:11]Um, I don't know.
[27:12]It's one of those ones where you're supposed to fill it with water.
[27:15]I've put a bunch of bricks on the back though, you know, so you can move it.
[27:17]Oh yeah.
[27:18]It's like a catapult.
[27:18]If you dunk too hard, it's going to catapult.
[27:20]So like, I'm not even, I, yeah.
[27:22]The last thing I need is that thing coming down on the five-year-old who
[27:25]weighs like 40 pounds, that thing.
[27:27]But if you dunked it and it did come down shack style, that would be pretty
[27:31]awesome.
[27:31]That would be worth 40 bucks to me, I think.
[27:33]And then just leave it laying out in the street for a week.
[27:36]Yeah.
[27:36]You just take the rim inside with you.
[27:38]Do you want me to shoot it?
[27:40]No.
[27:41]Do you want me to pass it?
[27:42]No.
[27:43]Do you want me to slam?
[27:45]Yeah.
[27:46]Oh, whatever he says.
[27:47]Yes.
[27:47]I was saying yes.
[27:48]I don't think that's a great answer.
[27:50]I actually think one of the producers on this album produced Shaquille O'Neal
[27:53]on Shaq Diesel, just for the record.
[27:55]Oh, nice.
[27:56]Was it the guy we can get a cameo of?
[27:59]Daz Dillinger.
[28:00]I think it actually is Daz Dillinger.
[28:01]That's what we need is we need Daz Dillinger talking about Shaq.
[28:05]Nah, who cares?
[28:06]All right.
[28:06]The joke is there.
[28:07]You guys all figured it out.
[28:08]Also Matt.
[28:09]Matt.
[28:10]Oh, sorry.
[28:10]Jeez, Rob.
[28:13]It's not my fault that you made four games before this thing.
[28:17]Are you trying to watch through my rolling?
[28:18]My other question, Matt, was.
[28:20]Do you have a string net or a chain net like at the park?
[28:24]So when you switch it, it's that chain net.
[28:26]It's string.
[28:27]You got to add a chain net, man.
[28:28]And I'm going to need a new one pretty soon because I'm just ripping that thing.
[28:34]Humble brag.
[28:35]From downtown, man.
[28:36]I just nothing but net.
[28:37]That thing's wearing out quick.
[28:39]So I'm going to need a new one soon.
[28:40]Yep.
[28:41]And every time that you've beat your kids, isn't it true that you have cut down part
[28:45]of the net and that's why you need to get a new one?
[28:46]Because you're like, okay, kids, get out the ladder and you go up and cut it down and really
[28:50]I'm not trying to cut you off, but Rob's trying to get move past my rolling going.
[28:53]So I'm trying to just keep I don't want to leave any spaces for Rob to cut me off and
[28:57]go to the next one.
[28:58]So I'm just going to try to keep talking.
[28:59]I can see that he's trying to cut me off here.
[29:01]So I'm going to keep talking.
[29:02]I also I watch the Billie Eilish documentary on on Apple recommended by me.
[29:07]And it was it was it was very it was extremely good.
[29:11]So highly recommend anybody.
[29:13]You know, I don't I would say I didn't come away like, oh, I'm a huge fan now or anything
[29:18]like that.
[29:18]I still don't quite get it.
[29:20]And I think it's old man syndrome that, you know, it's just a complete different generation,
[29:24]you know, and she's had some, you know, some issues growing up with mental health, you
[29:32]know, I think has led to a lot of stuff.
[29:33]And I think she just she her generation.
[29:38]She speaks for him, if you will.
[29:40]I don't know.
[29:40]I don't want to generalize it too much, but she's and she's a very good role model for
[29:45]everybody in that generation.
[29:48]I think, you know, everybody.
[29:50]Nobody should be poo pooing Billie Eilish.
[29:53]She's it seems like a great person.
[29:55]Her parents seem like great people.
[29:57]Her brother is her producer.
[29:58]You know, all this stuff.
[29:59]Great family life, stuff like that.
[30:01]I don't know.
[30:01]I I am a fan of of her now after watching that just as a person and we'll cheer her
[30:08]on for the rest of time.
[30:09]So but don't you think Billie Eilish kind of has a stigma?
[30:11]Stigma nuts in your face.
[30:20]All right, I will tell I got one more thing.
[30:22]Oh, my God.
[30:23]Oh, wow.
[30:23]Okay.
[30:24]Oh, no, that's so funny.
[30:25]Listen, I'm going to I'm going to transition to my own rolling going because I got to say
[30:29]I was on vacation last week, which is why we have such a long record.
[30:32]We have so much stuff to talk about.
[30:34]I came up with so many good ideas on my vacation.
[30:36]But Matt texted me and said, listen, you have a day left to do your Peloton streak.
[30:41]I had a forty one week streak of working out on my Peloton and it was the day before I was
[30:47]about to expire.
[30:48]And Matt is such a bro.
[30:49]That.
[30:50]But he texted me and was like, hey, you got to do a sleep meditation, some workout to
[30:54]keep this streak going.
[30:54]And I did.
[30:55]And I got to give big ups to Matt for that.
[30:57]Then I'm a way to keep your streak going.
[30:59]Yeah, that counts as a workout.
[31:01]That's why I'm so in shape.
[31:02]Yeah, I know.
[31:04]I feel you.
[31:04]I get it.
[31:05]You're a lot stronger than we think.
[31:06]Actually, I listened to a success meditation for five minutes.
[31:08]Somebody just told me how wonderful I was.
[31:10]And I was like, this is what I'm talking about.
[31:11]I want to marry this person.
[31:12]This is great.
[31:13]Then on the plane ride back, I was editing my podcast and I was terrified that Rob Rob
[31:20]podcast.
[31:20]I was editing our podcast.
[31:22]Sorry.
[31:22]You guys keep correcting me.
[31:23]I apologize.
[31:24]I was editing our podcast.
[31:26]One thing to say to your friends.
[31:27]It's another one.
[31:28]The three of us are sitting right here.
[31:29]To your actual.
[31:30]Okay.
[31:31]So welcome to the Rob show.
[31:32]Here's the thing is that I was so terrified that my wireless headphones were not going
[31:38]to connect correctly.
[31:39]And I would push play on the plane and everyone would hear the podcast going at some point.
[31:44]And I was like, this is the most embarrassing thing ever.
[31:46]If this would got out and like people listened to what I was like, they probably think I'm
[31:49]a very like businessman, like doing business stuff on a plane.
[31:52]And instead I'm listening to some podcast.
[31:54]So then I was editing and I was listening to Matt's bit last week about, you know, I
[32:01]think you were like telling wives like, oh, the Bill Burr bit, right?
[32:04]Where what if wives just sat down, put on the game, made a dinner, like got, got their
[32:09]husbands a beer.
[32:10]Like how mind blowing would that be?
[32:12]And I was thinking, what would be the equivalent for your wives?
[32:15]Like if you wanted to just do acts of service as your love language.
[32:19]What would be the number one thing you could do?
[32:21]Like that would shock and blow away your wife.
[32:24]I think for me, it would literally just be listening to her if I don't have a phone in
[32:30]my hand and I'm checking it all the time.
[32:31]And then later asking her the exact thing she just explained to me for 10 minutes.
[32:35]Like she would be blown away by that.
[32:36]I don't know what, or if maybe if I made her an egg white omelet, like that would blow
[32:40]her away.
[32:41]Matt, what would, what would blow her away in your mind?
[32:42]I don't know where you come up with these questions, Rob.
[32:46]I mean, it's because I want to get you guys in trouble with your wives.
[32:48]It's my fault.
[32:49]It seems like we're, I know that's why I'm saying, I don't know.
[32:52]I think, you know, Sarah just likes to have, um, some Sarah time.
[32:57]And so if it's just taking the, the, the kids somewhere or, you know, just letting
[33:03]her have some Sarah time, um, you let her take the kids places, man.
[33:06]That's so kind of you just to be all by yourself.
[33:08]She comes home and Matt's just three 60 dunking in the driveway.
[33:11]No, no.
[33:14]So I, you know, so I don't know.
[33:15]I don't know.
[33:16]Maybe, uh, maybe on the wives episode, this is what Russell should be
[33:19]asking when we, when we do that in a couple of weeks.
[33:21]Right.
[33:21]Are we doing, are we doing version two, Russell?
[33:23]Version two is coming up in a couple of weeks.
[33:26]Yeah.
[33:26]So he might need to ask there.
[33:27]So, you know, I guess I don't have a great answer for you, Rob, but I
[33:30]think just letting her, uh, you know, have, have some alone time, have
[33:34]some Sarah time.
[33:35]So, especially in this, these COVID times where we spend so much time
[33:39]together as a family.
[33:39]So you really emphasize that so much time.
[33:43]It's, uh, I don't know.
[33:47]It's, it's not, I, in terms of acts of
[33:49]service, it's definitely anticipating the needs before they, before they get
[33:53]there.
[33:53]And I, I, yeah, I think just being more proactive about, uh, if, if it
[33:58]were going to be a day of service, I would just notice everything that
[34:01]should be, you know, cleaned or taken care of before it needed to be
[34:05]taken care of.
[34:06]So you'd get up early every Tuesday to stir the peanut butter.
[34:09]So she didn't have to stir the peanut butter on a weekly basis.
[34:12]I'm a decent peanut butter stirrer, you know, honey, don't worry.
[34:16]I'll hang up all the clothes in our bedroom over the bed today.
[34:19]You don't have to worry about that.
[34:20]I'll preheat that oven.
[34:22]I don't get why we don't have enough time in our day.
[34:25]We, it only takes us a half hour to cook every meal because we don't
[34:28]order a goddamn microwave.
[34:29]Rob.
[34:31]I think the women I date would just appreciate if I would accidentally
[34:34]delete their number.
[34:35]So I wouldn't test for them for a second date.
[34:38]I think that would just be much easier.
[34:40]Then they wouldn't have to ghost or give me the blow off.
[34:43]It would be much easier.
[34:44]I like the idea of you pestering your dates though.
[34:46]Like you're sending them texts like, Hey, Hey,
[34:49]Hey, second date, question mark, question mark.
[34:52]Did you get my text there?
[34:54]I sent them handwritten letters.
[34:55]I'm the real deal here.
[34:56]Handwritten letters.
[34:56]Lady.
[34:57]I took the time to cut out all those letters out of different magazines.
[35:00]I didn't go and respond to this.
[35:01]Rosie rolling going.
[35:04]How's it going with you?
[35:05]Wait, I shouldn't be doing that.
[35:09]It's really going.
[35:15]Okay.
[35:15]It's going.
[35:16]Okay.
[35:16]We were, it was toddler spring break.
[35:19]This week.
[35:19]So we were out of town, uh, for the week.
[35:23]That was nice.
[35:23]Uh, we went back.
[35:25]You worked five less hours.
[35:27]I took two days off.
[35:29]Yeah.
[35:29]Well, so I'm sorry.
[35:31]Seven hours.
[35:32]I took two days off, but yeah, I worked a little bit.
[35:35]Uh, but we went, uh, to our usual favorite, uh, place to go for a week in Lake Tahoe.
[35:40]We rent, rent, rent the same place that we've rented for a while.
[35:43]And, uh, when we were there in the summer, we were sitting out on the deck on these red
[35:49]plastic deck chairs and the chair broke right underneath me, right behind me.
[35:54]So I fell straight backwards onto the deck.
[35:56]Uh, it wasn't too bad, but it was kind of like a minimal thing.
[36:00]And we were just back there again this week.
[36:03]And, uh, he sat in another one of the red plastic deck chairs.
[36:07]And this time it just exploded beneath me.
[36:11]So I had a pretty sore back all week because I felt they just, I've broken two deck chairs
[36:16]at this damn rental now.
[36:17]Yeah.
[36:18]Get a layoff.
[36:19]That pre-mix peanut butter air.
[36:20]Yeah.
[36:21]Right.
[36:21]I know.
[36:21]I can tell you're not a fat guy because when you sit in a chair, you put all your weight
[36:26]on the chair immediately.
[36:26]That is such an amateur move to sit down, putting at most 30% of your weight on the
[36:33]chair until you slowly relax.
[36:34]Yes.
[36:35]Yes.
[36:36]They're leaning forward and then not letting people see that you're gently setting yourself
[36:39]on a chair because you're terrified it's going to break.
[36:41]Aaron, come on.
[36:42]You're getting fat.
[36:43]No, this is just the way it is.
[36:44]You got to join us in the fat guy lifestyle.
[36:46]Yeah.
[36:47]The same chair broke two of them.
[36:48]And, uh,
[36:49]within six months, you'd think I wouldn't have sat on it the second time, but yeah,
[36:51]I was really sore all week.
[36:52]So I had to take it easy a little bit.
[36:55]I like the idea that you're like laid up in bed all week and you're like my back.
[37:00]Oh my God.
[37:01]Can you bring me my protein shake?
[37:03]That's handmade.
[37:04]I hurt my back sitting in a chair.
[37:06]This is probably more likely that Rob and I have experienced this at some point.
[37:11]Have you guys ever had a scare where you were worried you were going to break a chair
[37:15]in like a public place?
[37:16]Oh, cause I've had one of those before I was.
[37:19]I was at my cousin's wedding out in South Dakota once and they had all these chairs
[37:23]set up and the chairs were like these real small white flimsy chairs.
[37:27]I know exactly what you're talking about.
[37:29]And everyone, it was like 90 degrees and everyone's sitting out there and I sit on this chair.
[37:33]I'm like, I don't think this thing is going to hold me for an hour.
[37:36]And so the whole time I'm like kind of sitting in an uncomfortable manner where I'm sitting
[37:40]like kind of up on my legs and literally for an hour, I didn't hear a word that was said
[37:45]during the ceremony.
[37:46]I didn't listen to any of the music.
[37:47]I was just praying that.
[37:49]The chair was not going to collapse beneath me.
[37:51]That sounds terrible.
[37:53]It was awful.
[37:54]That's that's like, I got this device for my chairs.
[37:56]It's called a saw, a saw con.
[37:58]Have you guys seen these?
[37:59]Saw con these nuts.
[38:01]All right.
[38:05]Rolling going, Russ.
[38:06]I got a rolling going with you, I think.
[38:07]Right.
[38:07]Rolling going.
[38:08]Rolling going.
[38:09]So I was actually getting ready for this podcast and I watched this documentary, four part
[38:14]documentary called the defiant ones.
[38:16]Have you guys ever seen this before?
[38:17]No, no, no.
[38:19]So it's actually something that was done by HBO.
[38:22]I think it's on this new streaming channel, Peacock, if any of you guys have that yet,
[38:25]but it's essentially this.
[38:27]Okay, wait, let me Google that real quick.
[38:28]Peacock.
[38:29]Oh, the link is already purple.
[38:31]Oh, okay.
[38:33]Wait a minute.
[38:33]Sorry.
[38:33]I misspelled it.
[38:35]How did you spell P?
[38:36]You're making the subtext text here.
[38:42]Move on.
[38:42]Seeing the quiet part out loud.
[38:44]Yeah.
[38:45]P E E N.
[38:46]But anyways, that this documentary is kind of telling us a story.
[38:49]Telling two different stories.
[38:50]It's telling the story of Dr.
[38:51]Dre, how he kind of comes up and gets into music, starts working with NWA, goes to death
[38:57]row and then goes to, is it after what's his, whatever his current label is.
[39:01]Aftermath.
[39:01]Is it aftermath?
[39:03]Is that right?
[39:03]Aftermath.
[39:03]Aftermath.
[39:04]Yeah.
[39:04]And then it also tells, it's kind of telling a separate story of this guy, Jimmy Iovine,
[39:08]who becomes the founder of Inner Scope Records.
[39:12]And so it essentially is telling two stories about this Jimmy Iovine.
[39:15]And this, he becomes this recording engineer and he's working.
[39:19]With all these huge names down the road is the boss.
[39:22]He's working with Joni Mitchell, Matt's favorite Tom Petty, who we've been talking about Stevie
[39:26]Nicks, but he kind of goes on next, right?
[39:29]Yeah.
[39:29]He was dating her for a while, at least I know that, but so he eventually goes on to
[39:34]found Inner Scope Records and he's working with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails.
[39:38]He's worked with Marilyn Manson.
[39:39]So all these kinds of artists that are really out there a little bit and eventually he starts
[39:43]working with.
[39:44]Yeah.
[39:48]And so he's eventually starts working with Dr.
[39:51]Dre, but it's a really, really cool documentary and I would highly recommend it for anyone.
[39:56]But the one thing that was interesting for me is that the beginning starts where the
[39:59]two of these guys find or found Beats by Dre, the headphones, right?
[40:04]And so it starts with how they're going to sell this to Apple for $3 billion and then
[40:08]how the sale gets screwed up and it's kind of ends with this sale too.
[40:12]But I realized I'm just a moron.
[40:14]And so I went out and bought Beats by Dre headphones today.
[40:18]Because I was seeing them on the documentary, but I was wondering from you guys, do you
[40:23]guys think headphones are an important part to enjoying music?
[40:26]Like if you have cheap earbuds, is that the same as having a nice pair of headphones or
[40:31]what should I be doing to really enjoy all this music?
[40:33]Should I have nice headphones or what's the way to do it?
[40:36]I have the AirPod Pros now, the noise canceling ones.
[40:40]They've changed my life.
[40:43]My wife tries to talk to me so much now and I have no idea what she's talking.
[40:48]I don't know what she's talking about at any time.
[40:49]And I'm just like, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
[40:51]No idea what's going on.
[40:52]For example, I went to a dinner tonight, did not know about it until 15 minutes before
[40:56]we had to go.
[40:56]No idea whatsoever.
[40:58]But those sound canceling headphones, like even just the AirPod Pros, I know they're
[41:01]not like, you know, hourly the best, but they just, they sound so much better than like
[41:06]cheap little earbuds.
[41:07]Yeah, I've never had nice headphones.
[41:10]I wouldn't know.
[41:11]Yeah, I have, I, it's one of those things that you know that, well, I guess you don't
[41:17]know.
[41:18]The more expensive they are, the better they are.
[41:20]And, and, uh, I got some Beats by Dre.
[41:23]Um, they're not the cover your ear ones.
[41:26]They're just like the little, they're connected in the back.
[41:28]They're wireless, Bluetooth, um, over the ear kind of for working out.
[41:32]And yeah, they're phenomenal.
[41:33]But yes, absolutely.
[41:35]You are absolutely getting quality, uh, if you pay, if you pay up for your headphones
[41:41]and stuff like that.
[41:41]My problem is, is probably the same thing with Rosie's that I'm just so afraid I'm going
[41:45]to break them or lose them or leave them somewhere.
[41:48]And, and forget about them, that it's not like earth shatting, earth shatteringly, uh,
[41:54]important to have that much better ear buds, earphones in my case.
[41:59]Um, but, uh, they absolutely do make a difference.
[42:03]And yeah, if, if you, if you are into that thing, um, into the, how do you say it, Rob?
[42:09]Say that one more time.
[42:09]Hourly.
[42:10]Hourly.
[42:11]Yeah.
[42:12]You didn't get it quite right there.
[42:15]I want to try that again.
[42:17]You got to be real careful with the words because if they're asking, if they're, if
[42:21]you go to the headphone store and they say, what do you want to pay for?
[42:23]And you say hourly, orally or overly, that's, you're going to get three totally different
[42:28]things.
[42:28]You got to be real careful.
[42:29]Gotcha.
[42:30]I love music in headphones.
[42:32]And I think anytime we are going in, I mean, nothing but a G thing in headphones sounds
[42:36]like a total world shaker, even just in the Apple AirPods.
[42:39]So I can only imagine how much they'd sound better in a nice pair of headphones.
[42:44]I had to do one trip home from work without headphones this year.
[42:47]It's like a, you know, 20 minute, 30 minute commute or whatever.
[42:50]It was one of the worst days of my life.
[42:52]Period.
[42:53]End of story.
[42:54]Not even close.
[42:55]It was, I was like sitting there on the subway, like with my thoughts and I was like, what
[42:58]am I, this is crazy.
[42:59]I don't want to deal with this crap anymore.
[43:01]I want podcasts streaming in my brain.
[43:03]I don't want to have to think about anything.
[43:04]It's crazy.
[43:06]I, by the way, I was thinking about, I watched a documentary about, uh, the son of Gandhi.
[43:10]Have you guys seen this?
[43:11]Come on.
[43:12]Just come on.
[43:12]Lee Gandhi.
[43:13]No.
[43:14]Lee Gandhi's nuts.
[43:15]Oh,
[43:16]you guys are nuts.
[43:17]All right.
[43:19]Let's get into, uh, let's get into the three sentences about this album.
[43:24]That doesn't make sense.
[43:25]Lee Gandhi's nuts.
[43:27]Listen, I'll, I'll draw you a picture later.
[43:30]Don't worry.
[43:30]Uh, so this, we're talking about the chronic by Dr.
[43:33]Dre coming out in 1992, right?
[43:36]And this was kind of the, the album that really launched Snoop, uh, in the first place.
[43:41]He did not have an album before this doggy style came out after this and really established
[43:46]that G funk sound, which here.
[43:47]It's described as, uh, fat blunted parliament, Funkadelic beats.
[43:52]I couldn't believe by the way, how much parliament was in this album, soulful backing vocals
[43:55]and live instruments with rolling baselines.
[43:57]And then the, the whiny synth that we've talked before on the podcast, this album spent eight
[44:03]months in the billboard top 10.
[44:04]And basically if you were a white kid living in Minnesota, this was your introduction to
[44:10]gangster rap.
[44:11]Not even close.
[44:12]I knew so many kids in middle school and high school had this album, Kanye kind of summed
[44:15]it up best.
[44:16]And he says, listen, the chronic is.
[44:17]The hip hop equivalent of Stevie wonder's key of life.
[44:20]It's the benchmark that everyone measures their album against.
[44:23]So this is the gangster rap album, the greatest album of all time.
[44:29]And a lot of people think it's the greatest hip hop album of all time.
[44:31]So shall we get into it?
[44:33]Let's get into it.
[44:35]I don't know.
[44:36]This first song was produced by somebody named Sigma.
[44:38]All right.
[44:41]So by the way, I got to tell you guys, I got the edited version of all these songs because
[44:47]we don't want to be too dirty on the podcast.
[44:49]Almost unlistenable.
[44:50]I'm just going to say that right now.
[44:51]We don't want to be too dirty.
[44:53]There they jump right in with the whistles.
[44:55]But there's that, there's that snake right off the bat.
[44:59]Like we talked about on that, on the Biggie album, right Aaron?
[45:02]Yeah.
[45:02]That's the G-Funk signifier right there.
[45:04]Now this intro, you know exactly what the whole album is going to sound like.
[45:08]It's right here.
[45:09]And then we go into Dr.
[45:13]Dre day.
[45:15]Oh, and everybody's.
[45:17]Well, we're really getting clean here, aren't we, Rob?
[45:19]This song is just badass.
[45:21]This is an all-timer.
[45:23]When this comes on every time, this album had more head nodding for me than almost any
[45:28]other album we've listened to.
[45:29]When I listened to this in my headphones on the subway, I felt like such a badass.
[45:33]It was crazy.
[45:34]So Aaron, is this from Atomic Dog or what is this pulling from?
[45:38]I think it might be from Knee Deep by Parliament, but I was trying to figure that out too.
[45:43]I purposely didn't look up every sample on this album.
[45:47]Because I wanted to try to say something other than what the samples are.
[45:50]But yeah, that might be Knee Deep.
[45:52]Yeah, it's absolutely Knee Deep.
[45:54]I was surprised because what I didn't realize is that this album was such a big diss track, right?
[45:58]Like I knew that he had something going on with Eazy.
[46:00]I had no idea what was going on at the time.
[46:02]And then I thought he hated everybody in NWA.
[46:05]But all of a sudden, Ice Cube shows up in the video for Dre Day.
[46:08]I don't get it.
[46:10]Yeah, I think they were kind of like in the process of making up.
[46:12]I mean, I think the beef was always about money.
[46:15]And I think Dre and Ice Cube.
[46:17]They had similar qualms with Eazy.
[46:19]I don't know who was in the right on that one.
[46:22]But I think Eazy essentially chose the manager over Dr. Dre, right?
[46:26]At one point, Dr. Dre said something's got to change here.
[46:28]And Eazy picked his manager.
[46:31]And just to be clear, I mean, all of these guys, they were in NWA before they kind of broke off and went individually.
[46:38]And Eazy, very quickly here, was basically plucked off of the corner.
[46:44]Yep.
[46:44]You know, he was not a rapper.
[46:46]Wasn't it?
[46:46]They just liked his voice.
[46:48]And, you know, he's kind of the voice of NWA.
[46:50]And he just kind of tried to jump above them.
[46:53]But Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, they're the, I don't know, the brains and the kind of, they're the ones that made the engine go.
[47:01]And so that's what, that's like the main host of NWA, if you really think about it.
[47:04]Yeah.
[47:05]Well, Eazy-E thought he was the main host.
[47:08]And then you saw what happened to him.
[47:09]So I don't know, Rob.
[47:10]No, no lesson to learn there.
[47:12]Listen, I want to play for you the first verse with, this is probably the verse that introduced the whole world to Dr. Dre.
[47:16]To Snoop Dogg.
[47:18]Which, by the way, at the time he was named Snoop Doggy Dogg, which he later changed, which is unfortunate.
[47:24]I would still like to call him Snoop Doggy Dogg.
[47:26]The back and forth with Snoop and Dre is just an all-timer here, right?
[47:32]Yeah.
[47:33]And this video was so cool.
[47:35]Snoop was the coolest person on the planet at the time for a very short period of time.
[47:40]You know what?
[47:42]Snoop has almost become a parody of himself.
[47:44]He's been around so long.
[47:45]Yeah.
[47:46]I kind of wonder if he hadn't been around so long, if he would be way up higher on the list right now.
[47:51]If he would have just taken Doggy Style or whatever his first album was, if he hadn't made a ton of albums or hadn't been around and become almost a joke of himself.
[47:59]Not a joke of himself, but everyone's just so used to him.
[48:02]If he had just been around for a little bit, I wonder.
[48:04]He's commercialized.
[48:05]I kind of like the vibe on Doggy Style better than this one.
[48:08]But Doggy Style is, I mean, Doggy Style is just so raunchy dirty that it's hard to listen to now.
[48:13]I mean, this one is too, but.
[48:14]I'm going to write that down in my notes.
[48:16]Doggy Style.
[48:17]I'm going to Google that real quick.
[48:18]Doggy Style.
[48:18]Oh, wait.
[48:19]The link is purple.
[48:20]Raunchy.
[48:21]I think the other cool thing about this song is Dr. Dre talks about the White Sox hat.
[48:26]And if you look in all those videos, they're wearing like old school baseball.
[48:29]Baseball hats came back because of Dr. Dre, right?
[48:34]People weren't wearing the MLB hats in the 90s.
[48:38]And then they started coming back through hip hop, right?
[48:41]Right.
[48:41]Yeah.
[48:41]I do want to take, I have an issue with this album.
[48:43]And that is that I feel like they're joking.
[48:46]Jokes are not that good.
[48:48]I think they could have written better jokes.
[48:49]For example, in this one, Snoop teases by saying, I heard you like jokes about your Jimmy.
[48:54]I'm going to tell you a Jimmy joke that you might not like.
[48:56]And then he literally just calls your mom like a homophobic slur.
[49:00]That's the joke.
[49:01]Like, I was like, oh, I was really excited for like what he's going to say.
[49:04]And then what he said is nothing.
[49:05]I've already said that.
[49:06]I don't think that chin nuts joke makes any sense.
[49:09]All the jokes I've done have been way better.
[49:11]Right.
[49:12]Like, did you guys hear about how I want to pound?
[49:14]I want to pound these nuts.
[49:16]And your face, you know, it's like all those are so much better.
[49:18]I'm better than Snoop Dogg is really what it comes down to.
[49:20]I'm also going to say this in this verse.
[49:22]He also says that your rhymes are very bootylicious.
[49:24]It wasn't until today.
[49:26]I was today years old when I realized that he meant that as an insult.
[49:29]How is the word bootylicious not just the greatest compliment?
[49:33]And of course, Destiny's Child, like five years later, made the song bootylicious a true compliment.
[49:37]But how can you call somebody bootylicious and not be like, oh, thank you, Snoop, for calling me bootylicious?
[49:41]Because he's calling him shit, Rob.
[49:45]If shit was bootylicious, I'd eat it by the cone, baby.
[49:48]I mean, that sounds so good.
[49:49]Also, do I have a tattoo on my lower back that says bootylicious?
[49:54]You know, I do.
[49:55]Damn right, I do.
[49:56]Now, you think that song makes your head nod?
[49:59]I'm going to dare you to not nod your head during this song.
[50:02]There's so much Parliament on this album.
[50:08]It's crazy.
[50:09]There it is.
[50:14]Lots of gaps in the clean version.
[50:15]This is the third single off the album.
[50:17]It got all the way up to 34.
[50:18]Aaron, when you hear this, tell us about where the funk comes from this.
[50:24]Is it George Clinton?
[50:25]Is it Funkadelic?
[50:26]Where does the funk come in onto this album?
[50:28]Yeah, I mean, a lot of it is Parliament Funkadelic, right?
[50:31]So it's like what we were just listening to is a Parliament, either sample or interpolation or both.
[50:38]Dre Day had Knee Deep by Parliament.
[50:41]So, yeah, it was that.
[50:42]The funk, I think, had the grace.
[50:44]Great bass lines.
[50:45]Sometimes they brought in a lot of others.
[50:47]James Brown.
[50:48]There's a lot of James Brown, too.
[50:49]Right.
[50:50]Yeah.
[50:51]So that's the I mean, obviously, that was the West Coast West Coast sound, even though a lot of, you know, and I knew that I didn't I'm not looking at the Wikipedia or anything.
[50:59]I knew that off the top of my head.
[51:01]A lot of the funk came and we'll talk about this maybe with nothing but you thing.
[51:04]But a lot of the funk came from Warren G because he was the one actually digging in the crates, finding stuff and bringing it to Dre.
[51:10]Do you guys know that?
[51:14]Rolling Stone actually put together a list of the 40 greatest stoner albums ever.
[51:18]And this was number 28 on the list, kind of lower than I thought.
[51:23]What?
[51:24]28th on the list of best stoner.
[51:26]Lower on the list.
[51:27]You mean a higher number?
[51:28]I was going to email them and make sure they didn't get it wrong.
[51:31]Have the higher and lower mixed up.
[51:32]That's good.
[51:33]You should do that.
[51:33]But I couldn't figure out how to navigate the website.
[51:36]So I had to go look at something else.
[51:38]But anyways, higher on the list or wait a lower number.
[51:44]But higher.
[51:44]Higher on the list, Rob, I believe, was an album called Mellow Gold by Beck.
[51:50]And Mellow Gold, just like the Chronic, is also named after a strain of weed from California.
[51:56]And so, Rob, if you want to pull up this song by Beck, I believe it's called Pay No Mind.
[52:03]This is a song off of Mellow Gold.
[52:14]To connect this to Snoop and Dre is unbelievable.
[52:17]You've done it.
[52:18]So essentially, Rolling Stone described the Mellow Gold album as Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and Beastie Boys Boutique.
[52:30]Meet in the bathroom, in between class, and get high as the Himalayas.
[52:34]They put this as the 10th greatest stoner album ever.
[52:39]So it's lower on the list, a higher number.
[52:41]So when it comes to stoner albums, who does it better?
[52:44]Beck did it better.
[52:46]Wow.
[52:47]Way to go, Beck.
[52:48]Who has the greatest stoner albums, Dr. Dre or Beck?
[52:52]And the answer is obviously Beck.
[52:54]The number one was Jimi Hendrix, Bold as Love.
[52:57]Have you heard of that one?
[52:58]Oh, yeah.
[52:59]Of course.
[52:59]Bold as Love.
[53:00]So that was the number one stoner album, according to Rolling Stone.
[53:03]Unless I got the whole list wrong, and then that would have been the 40th greatest stoner album.
[53:07]Did you guys hear about the album called Kisma?
[53:12]All right.
[53:14]Let's see here.
[53:19]Next song, Rob.
[53:20]Just play it.
[53:20]All right, Aaron, what's the title of this song?
[53:21]It's The Day the Ends Took Over.
[53:23]This is more of a reggae-backed song.
[53:27]It's referring to the L.A. Riots of the time.
[53:29]This was the song that I found most interesting in listening to this album.
[53:34]It's the second half of the song I never knew as well.
[53:36]And this one's really a fascinating track.
[53:39]Why do you think it's fascinating?
[53:41]I think in context with the...
[53:44]sort of blunted and angry stance of some of the rest of the songs,
[53:51]this kind of message of unity or militarism, I thought was interesting.
[53:57]But the most interesting thing to me is that Rob mentioned the reggae influence.
[54:01]They do kind of the patois kind of voice comes in.
[54:05]And to me, this whole song is an homage to KRS-One.
[54:10]And so then the fact that KRS comes in as the sample and got myself an Uzi,
[54:14]me and my brother are nine.
[54:15]I just think it's interesting because it's, you know,
[54:17]East Coast, West Coast borrowing from one another.
[54:20]Well, you know, these guys actually got in trouble after the song for penny trading.
[54:24]Penny trading with these nuts.
[54:27]All right.
[54:28]So I don't have anything actually intellectual to add to this conversation,
[54:33]which is kind of the norm.
[54:34]Okay.
[54:34]Can I just ask you this?
[54:37]Do the opening notes in this song sound a little off key to you?
[54:40]No.
[54:44]Are they not?
[54:44]They sound a little like that.
[54:47]Oh, you might be right.
[54:49]I don't know.
[54:49]I just love it so much.
[54:50]I mean, obviously intentionally, but.
[54:51]I don't know if anyone has the vinyl version of this,
[54:55]but the end of the previous song leading into the beginning of this song
[54:58]is one of the most amazing transitions ever, right?
[55:01]It's glorious.
[55:02]This song, by the way, nothing but a G thing.
[55:05]I'm going to play you a little bit of the Dre verse here.
[55:07]So good.
[55:14]He originally wrote this song and they wanted to record the demo.
[55:17]And it's actually over originally over a boss gag song.
[55:20]And I tried to look for the original demo forever on YouTube.
[55:22]I couldn't find it.
[55:23]But Snoop recorded his part from inside of a jail cell,
[55:27]like on the phone doing the one, two.
[55:29]I mean, can you imagine getting your hands on that recording?
[55:31]How awesome that would be.
[55:32]And the sample of this is from a Leon Haywood song called I want to do.
[55:36]Do something freaky.
[55:37]I want to do something freaky to you.
[55:40]It's not just I want to do something freaky.
[55:42]It points out.
[55:43]I want to do something.
[55:44]Freaky to you, Russell.
[55:45]I don't like what Rob says.
[55:46]He wants to do freaky stuff to us and then points at us in the camera.
[55:49]I want to do something freaky to you, Russell.
[55:53]I don't like it at all.
[55:55]Rob's stronger than me.
[55:57]I don't like it.
[55:57]Oh, yeah.
[55:59]Oh, it's all right there.
[56:01]They just they just pumped up the sound.
[56:03]And I think they had the live bassist come in on this one.
[56:05]Have you heard the parody of the song, Russell?
[56:08]No, I would love to hear it, though.
[56:10]Paradies nuts.
[56:12]All right.
[56:14]But it does.
[56:16]It speaks to the point that Rob made about Kanye or.
[56:19]Yeah, Rob.
[56:20]The Rob made about Kanye.
[56:21]And then also relates to what Russell said about Dre and Jimmy Iovine was that Dre just knew how to make sound.
[56:26]He knew how to get the sound right.
[56:27]And when he played that demo for Jimmy Iovine, he said, who produced this?
[56:31]And Dre was like me.
[56:32]And he said, well, who is the engineer?
[56:33]And Dre said me.
[56:34]And he just knew right away that he knew how to make clean, crisp, good sounding hip hop.
[56:38]Hey, Aaron, did what did what's their name get out to you the other day?
[56:44]Who's that?
[56:45]Deez nuts.
[56:46]Rob, I poached it.
[56:49]Woo.
[56:50]I didn't think it was that funny.
[56:51]Like, OK, walnuts, nuts on the wall.
[56:57]Funny, right?
[56:58]Chest nuts.
[57:00]I would say that's funny.
[57:02]What are chin nuts?
[57:06]There's no such thing as chin nuts.
[57:08]You didn't listen to the end of it.
[57:09]You're not.
[57:10]I get that.
[57:10]You've got a dick in your mouth.
[57:11]But why?
[57:12]There are no chin nuts.
[57:13]Like, nobody be like, or.
[57:14]Are these chin nuts?
[57:14]I'd be like, what are chin nuts?
[57:15]Doesn't make any sense.
[57:17]By the way, Warren G on the intro here.
[57:20]Oh, no, I'm sorry.
[57:24]That is Warren G making that chin nuts joke.
[57:26]It's Warren G at the beginning.
[57:29]And then I think Nate Dogg is at the end of the song, right?
[57:31]Why do we have to wait so long on this album to get some Nate Dogg in our lives?
[57:35]It's terrible.
[57:36]All right.
[57:37]We've got Little Ghetto Boy.
[57:39]This one.
[57:40]About.
[57:44]Seeing all the young gangsters coming up.
[57:45]Is this Donny Hathaway?
[57:48]Yes.
[57:50]I think my favorite part of the song, you heard a little bit there, but maybe, Rob,
[57:57]you can jump to the end, is the flute.
[57:59]There is jazz flute on this song.
[58:01]Oh, there we go.
[58:02]You guys hear this part of it?
[58:03]Oh, I love it.
[58:06]I love it.
[58:08]So I was looking, I was wondering, who is this jazz flute player?
[58:11]And it's this guy.
[58:14]It's he's Buckingham.
[58:15]And he is actually famous.
[58:17]He's played with Lionel Richie.
[58:19]He's played with Aerosmith.
[58:20]He's played with a bunch of famous bands, but I couldn't really find any of his songs.
[58:24]But you know who else he has played with?
[58:26]Who?
[58:27]He played in the movie Anchorman.
[58:30]He is the guy who played the jazz flute that Will Ferrell is playing in Anchorman.
[58:35]Check this out.
[58:36]This is this same guy.
[58:38]It could be Buckingham.
[58:39]That's baby making music.
[58:41]That's what that is.
[58:42]What?
[58:42]Yeah.
[58:43]That's baby making music.
[58:44]The jazz flute player on the Chronic is the same guy who plays the jazz flute in Anchorman.
[58:51]Man, shout out.
[58:53]Russell, I feel bad for the next woman you date because she's going to have to sleep with you after you tell her that fact.
[58:58]I would pick her up on a date.
[59:00]I would open the door and I'd be like, hey, I'm Russell.
[59:03]Do you know the flute player on the Chronic is also the same guy from Anchorman?
[59:06]Do you want to go back to my place or yours?
[59:08]Where are we going?
[59:09]Rob, there's even a cooler thing about this that only you will love.
[59:12]But I have to share it.
[59:14]And I don't know if that woman will still sleep with me after she knows this part of it.
[59:18]But Rob, you've talked before about the show.
[59:21]Who's the boss?
[59:22]You've made jokes about Tony talking about Samantha, right?
[59:24]Samantha, Jonathan.
[59:27]So this could tease Buckingham, the flute, the jazz flute player for the Chronic and for Anchorman also starred in a special episode of Who's the Boss?
[59:36]The episode where Samantha gets a hickey on her neck and has to walk around the house with her head tilted the whole time.
[59:44]While Tony Danza is trying to figure out what happened to Samantha's neck.
[59:47]Katice Buckingham was the 13-year-old kid that gave Samantha the hickey.
[59:51]That, Russell, this list makes me so happy.
[59:55]This isn't even your list.
[59:55]It just makes me happy.
[59:56]Finally, who's the boss news that I can live with?
[60:00]How much for a Tony Danza cameo, by the way?
[60:04]Can we get Tony Danza just to say Mona to me on a cameo?
[60:07]That'd be so good.
[60:10]And then I just send him a video of me f***ing off to him saying Mona into a cameo.
[60:14]He's like, wait, what?
[60:15]And then I charge him money because that's my cameo.
[60:19]Oh, no.
[60:23]Rob's f***ing off to be saying Mona.
[60:26]It's an officious cycle.
[60:28]What podcast am I on?
[60:29]Hey, Rob.
[60:31]Yes.
[60:32]He was the housekeeper.
[60:33]I bet he used to use the washer and dryer all the time.
[60:35]I wonder if he ever got stuck.
[60:37]Oh, Mona.
[60:39]Mona.
[60:39]Angela, I'm stuck in the dryer.
[60:43]What are you doing, Angela?
[60:45]No.
[60:45]Who's the boss now, Tony?
[60:49]Samantha might be home soon, Angela.
[60:51]Oh, no.
[60:52]What are you doing?
[60:52]By the way, I did text these guys a Suez Canal stepbrother boat joke sent in by Music Mike 76.
[61:00]Who, by the way, is still my best friend.
[61:02]Why would you guys not send me that?
[61:03]He did.
[61:04]Best friend, Music Mike.
[61:06]We love it.
[61:06]That van.
[61:10]I mean, he drove that van around.
[61:11]And who's the boss, right?
[61:12]He's driving that van.
[61:13]You know he's up to no good.
[61:15]I should have ended with him fucking Mona in the dryer.
[61:19]Damn it.
[61:19]You know what, guys?
[61:22]So much of this podcast, you think it's like, oh, I'm just going to tell funny jokes about
[61:26]who's the boss and Tony Danza getting stuck in a dryer.
[61:28]That's where this podcast is led to.
[61:29]This is the natural conclusion of the podcast.
[61:31]But then you got to learn to draw back.
[61:34]You know what I mean?
[61:34]Like, you got to learn to stick the landing and just stop talking about it.
[61:37]Lessons for us all.
[61:39]Consider it stuck.
[61:40]So when you're on that date, Russell, and you explain to your date how we got to this
[61:43]point where Tony Danza is stuck in a dryer, it's saying, Angela, you'll chill now.
[61:48]Oh, right.
[61:51]So what if it was Mona instead of Angela?
[61:53]What if he just had to think for grandmas?
[61:57]Yeah.
[61:58]Yeah.
[61:58]He's a gilf hunter.
[61:59]Also purple in my links.
[62:02]Okay.
[62:02]So let's talk about.
[62:04]Oh, no, I'm sorry.
[62:08]We have an N with a gun.
[62:11]Oh, this is so quiet.
[62:13]This is getting into this as we get later in the album.
[62:20]I only I only associate these songs with listening to the greatest death rose greatest hits in
[62:25]Russell's dorm room in college.
[62:28]So I didn't even know some of these were on the chronic.
[62:30]I was like, oh, this is from death rose greatest hits.
[62:32]All right.
[62:32]You're like, Russell, all these blacklight posters.
[62:35]I can barely see it here.
[62:36]There's so many.
[62:37]Yeah, we bumped the CD a lot.
[62:40]Oh, you know what, though?
[62:41]My favorite thing in college was they had those.
[62:43]You know, it was where it had like onions and leeks.
[62:45]Leaked these nuts.
[62:47]By the way, look at next to this next to this next song.
[62:51]My only notes next to it is Lee Gandhi.
[62:53]I already use that.
[62:54]These nuts.
[63:00]This is one of my least favorite songs on the album.
[63:04]I don't know why some some of the material on this is, you know, dated.
[63:08]I don't think you could make this album anymore, but this is my least favorite song on the album.
[63:12]No.
[63:12]Do you want to guess?
[63:13]Which part of this album?
[63:14]My kids walked in on me multiple times listening to the doctor's office over and over and over.
[63:21]Yes, absolutely.
[63:22]It was.
[63:22]By the way, I did want to play you the song that they sampled from your Don Julian.
[63:28]It's a song called Jan Zito.
[63:31]I just love this song.
[63:32]More flute for you, Russell.
[63:33]Oh, yes.
[63:34]It's like musical style.
[63:36]It's known as it's known as a Ruben D's.
[63:38]Ruben D's nuts.
[63:40]All right.
[63:41]So that's the only notes I have for every other song.
[63:43]All the way down.
[63:44]Hey, Rob, anytime you hear this song in the future.
[63:46]Now, all you're going to think of is that that's the kid who gave Samantha the hickey on who's the boss.
[63:51]Oh, no, Samantha.
[63:54]I can see from inside the dryer.
[63:56]You got a hickey.
[63:57]Wait, what are you doing?
[63:59]We're not related by blood.
[64:00]All right.
[64:01]Twenty dollar sack pyramid.
[64:03]Twenty dollar sack pyramid.
[64:04]I'm your host.
[64:06]Oh, the complex complex said that this is the greatest rap skit ever sketch ever on an album.
[64:11]And I would have to agree.
[64:12]This one.
[64:13]I'll be playing for the only thing that's even close to be the Wu Tang.
[64:16]The for me, it's Wu Tang torture.
[64:18]It's a filthy thing they were going to do to each other.
[64:20]Right.
[64:20]That's my favorite.
[64:21]But I'm partial to the Wu Tang.
[64:23]Biggie sex one.
[64:25]I thought was OK.
[64:25]That was pretty funny.
[64:26]I thought, but not not as good as this one.
[64:28]It made me uncomfortable thinking about it.
[64:30]I will say the only thing I wanted to say about this is that the host on this, if you look at who did this, the host is she gives her name at the beginning.
[64:38]But on the liner note, she's O.G.
[64:40]Henny low.
[64:40]She's yeah.
[64:42]She's credited as big.
[64:43]Titty Nikki.
[64:43]So there's that for you.
[64:45]Like, hey, how do you want me to credit you on this album?
[64:48]I put on big titty Nikki.
[64:49]All right.
[64:50]I will.
[64:50]Matt, what do you think?
[64:52]Matt, what do you think of the skits on rap albums or the skits on this one?
[64:55]I don't know.
[64:56]I don't know what to think.
[64:57]I mean, like you go from we got Nas coming up.
[65:02]We got tried called Quest.
[65:03]We've got some of these other ones, Eric and Rakim, you know, and then we were putting skits on these albums.
[65:08]And it's like it's just two totally different things.
[65:11]And.
[65:13]Well, yeah, they're great and all, but I don't know.
[65:15]Does it add anything to the album?
[65:16]It certainly adds to the culture and where they're at and things like that.
[65:22]So, you know, again, as white kids growing up in the cornfields, you know, it certainly adds a flavor to a different sort of life than we could even imagine, even think about.
[65:36]And so, you know, it makes you laugh when you're a kid.
[65:39]But now it's kind of just I mean, it feels like filler and.
[65:43]You know, they're funny, but could I do without them?
[65:46]Yeah, I don't know.
[65:47]Yeah, I don't have any good take on them, but yeah.
[65:50]All right.
[65:52]Next up, let's get to my mom's favorite song.
[65:53]Lyrical gangbang should be played at high volume, preferably in a residential area.
[65:59]I read that the drum sample was from Led Zeppelin on this.
[66:04]You guys read that?
[66:05]When the levee breaks.
[66:06]Wait, so that's the same drum sample that Beyonce used.
[66:09]Is it?
[66:10]Yeah.
[66:11]In the track with.
[66:13]I'm Jack White.
[66:14]I can't think of music when there's any music on.
[66:15]And here we have one of the artists that appears a number of times on the album, the Lady of Rage.
[66:19]Lady of Rage still kicking up dust.
[66:21]She's got to be a little bummed it didn't take off like it did for Snoop Dogg after this album, doesn't it?
[66:26]Yeah, it's tough for lady rappers, man.
[66:29]There could you know, they just weren't they weren't supported like like like men were.
[66:33]I was reading I was reading the the other day that really Dr.
[66:37]Dre only has two albums where he's credited as the main artist on it, right?
[66:41]It's the chronic and the chronic.
[66:43]2000.
[66:43]Is that right?
[66:44]Yeah, because detox never came out.
[66:47]No, he had Compton.
[66:48]I mean, Compton came out in what?
[66:50]2015.
[66:51]That would have been his third one.
[66:52]I didn't love that one, though.
[66:53]By the way, that the chronic 2000.
[66:55]That's the album.
[66:56]I know way better than this album.
[66:57]I used to listen to that album all the time.
[67:00]So when like I would often ask for songs on my Alexa to listen to this one.
[67:03]I was like, oh, I love this song.
[67:04]And then I realized it's off the other chronic album.
[67:06]Very confusing.
[67:07]Oh, it's don't hurt yourself on lemonade samples.
[67:09]The same drums from one lady breaks.
[67:11]But Dr.
[67:12]Dre.
[67:13]He's almost more famous for being a producer than he is an actual rapper.
[67:16]Is that right?
[67:16]Yeah.
[67:18]I mean, he didn't.
[67:18]He didn't write most of his raps.
[67:20]The DOC wrote his wrote his lyrics on nothing but a G thing.
[67:24]M wrote a bunch of his stuff on chronic 2000.
[67:27]I don't think he's ever even made a huge secret of it.
[67:29]Like he's rapping isn't his number one.
[67:31]He didn't come up with.
[67:32]I'm creeping and I'm creeping and I'm creeping.
[67:34]And then I'm trying to do something.
[67:35]But my beeper keeps beeping.
[67:37]That bums me out because those are like the greatest lyrics of all time.
[67:40]Because Snoop Dogg has to say to him, hey, Drake, creep in here.
[67:42]And he goes.
[67:42]Yes, I'm creeping in.
[67:43]I'm creeping.
[67:44]I'm like, well, yeah, I mean, that's like.
[67:45]But the other thing that's great about that is that the DOC wrote those lyrics.
[67:50]And then he says, like my N word DOC, no one can do it better.
[67:54]So if you if you get to write the lyrics, you get to tell everybody.
[67:56]I mean, he did have an album called No One Can Do It Better.
[67:58]But yeah, if you get to sneak in and write the lyrics yourself, then you can big up yourself if you want.
[68:03]But he is kind of known as one of the greatest producers ever.
[68:06]And so what I wanted to do for you guys quickly is a list of the greatest Dr.
[68:10]Dre produced songs of all time.
[68:12]Well, I'm.
[68:12]I'm here for this.
[68:13]Yes, it's time.
[68:14]Four, three, two, one.
[68:18]You know, I have you guys write jokes for me sometimes here.
[68:21]I got one that Aaron texted me about.
[68:22]Have you guys seen the slob on these running around?
[68:25]No.
[68:26]Slob on these nuts.
[68:28]That gets Russell every time.
[68:32]He loves these jokes.
[68:33]He's a big these nuts guy.
[68:34]These nuts.
[68:36]So obviously he was the producer for N.W.A., Snoop, Eminem.
[68:42]A lot of famous artists, but I'm going to touch on some ones you might not be aware of.
[68:46]But some of them you're definitely going to be aware of.
[68:47]The first one we have to mention is Tupac, California Love, right?
[68:52]Oh, yes.
[68:53]Yes, Rob's talking about nodding heads, man.
[69:01]This is a head nodder.
[69:02]So when you watch this Defiant Ones, this documentary, it turns out that Warner Brothers, who owned 50 percent of Interscope, actually fronted the money.
[69:12]To bail Tupac out of jail.
[69:14]So Warner Brothers, or Time Warner, I should say, Time Warner, excuse me, is actually the group that funded the money to get Tupac out so he could record California Love with Dr. Dre.
[69:26]Isn't that crazy?
[69:26]That's amazing.
[69:27]They saved the money by not giving him real clothes for that video.
[69:30]They just gave him stuff from the Mad Max.
[69:31]They're like, listen, we don't have time to get you real clothes.
[69:34]This is from Mad Max.
[69:35]Just put it on.
[69:36]Everybody will love it.
[69:37]It's the Thunderdome.
[69:39]We did love it, too.
[69:40]So the next song on the list.
[69:42]This after right after California Love, all of a sudden, Death Row starts breaking up and Dr. Dre walks away from Death Row, leaves it.
[69:49]And a lot of people are trying to leave.
[69:51]But like people are getting assaulted.
[69:53]People are getting killed.
[69:54]It's this huge mess.
[69:55]And he walks away from it and he actually produces another song kind of incognito and he raps a little bit on it.
[70:02]You guys remember No Diggity by Blackstreet?
[70:04]This is a documentary.
[70:05]Oh, yes.
[70:06]I mentioned Bill Withers again.
[70:11]Bill Withers on the sample here.
[70:12]I am declaring this the third greatest song of all time behind God Only Knows and Hot for Teacher.
[70:21]This is the third greatest song of all time.
[70:23]I bought this song on iTunes.
[70:25]And so it turns out Blackstreet was right.
[70:27]Getting paid is their forte because I definitely paid money for this song.
[70:31]And it was right when streaming stuff was happening, too.
[70:34]I paid for it.
[70:34]I don't care.
[70:35]I'm like, what if I'm underground in a subway and I want to listen to Blackstreet?
[70:37]I've got to be able to do it right for my phone.
[70:39]Blackstreet.
[70:40]This song, No Diggity, eventually made it.
[70:42]To number one.
[70:43]The song it replaced was at number one for 14 weeks.
[70:46]It was the Macarena.
[70:48]Wow.
[70:49]Not the Dr. Dre production.
[70:52]Next up.
[70:55]Go ahead.
[70:56]I thought you were going to blow their mind with another Dr. Dre song.
[70:59]And then you hit us with the Macarena.
[71:00]It was like I had whiplash.
[71:02]I didn't know what was going on.
[71:03]The Macarena was at number one for 14 weeks.
[71:06]We have lived in a world where the Macarena was the number one song for four months.
[71:10]It was a phenomenon.
[71:12]I can do the dance still.
[71:13]Next up on the list is a few years later in 2001.
[71:16]This is Eve and Gwen Stefani.
[71:19]Let me blow your mind.
[71:20]Shake your asses.
[71:24]It kind of feels like a Dr. Dre song, right?
[71:27]The music.
[71:27]You can definitely hear the Dre in this.
[71:29]Yeah, he was using a lot of that kind of guitar sound in Chronic 2000.
[71:34]Eve just such a flow.
[71:40]So good.
[71:42]So next up on the list.
[71:43]Everyone knows he made Eminem very famous,
[71:45]but there might be another artist that you guys aren't aware that he actually was the person who made him famous.
[71:50]It's 50 Cent in the club.
[71:52]This is a Dr. Dre production.
[71:54]Yes.
[71:54]Oh, this.
[71:56]I mean, this song was everywhere when it was hot.
[71:58]It was a monster.
[71:59]I don't even know if I've ever been in the club and I still love this song.
[72:04]Like if I walked into the club and it was a birthday party full of clowns,
[72:09]I'd be like, yeah, sure.
[72:09]This is what the club is.
[72:10]I guess.
[72:11]I don't know.
[72:12]Like, I never heard the clowns mentioned, but I guess that's what it is.
[72:15]This song was actually supposed to be meant for Eminem for eight mile,
[72:20]and it didn't work out for whatever reason.
[72:21]And then it went to 50 cents.
[72:23]So think about different.
[72:24]The world would have been if there were no 50 cents in the club, Rob.
[72:27]That's not a world I want to live in.
[72:30]No.
[72:30]The final song on the list was from 2001.
[72:33]This is Family Affair from Mary J.
[72:36]Blige.
[72:36]Check this one out.
[72:37]Oh, I didn't know this was great.
[72:42]This is the Dr.
[72:43]Dre production.
[72:44]That's why I made it to number one.
[72:47]Spent six weeks at number one on the billboard.
[72:49]Party with me.
[72:51]And it's also probably most famous for popularizing the term crunk,
[72:56]which is also short for crazy drunk, Rob.
[72:59]Listen, the tattoo on my back will tell you that you could seriously get crunk
[73:04]and then get a tattoo of crunk on there.
[73:06]You know, listening to these songs, Russell,
[73:07]I truly understand why Dre does have a wall full of plaques.
[73:12]That's from the chronic 2001.
[73:13]So that's a different album I'm referencing.
[73:15]I know you guys thought at the end I was going to go,
[73:17]these nuts, but I didn't.
[73:18]So once again, Russell came up with a great list
[73:23]and I hit the brakes right at the end.
[73:24]That's crazy how many, I mean, what a singular talent he is.
[73:28]Like that's.
[73:28]Yeah, just bangers.
[73:29]Yeah.
[73:30]That's the cool thing where I recap everything everybody's been saying
[73:33]in the whole episode in a dumber way.
[73:35]Hmm.
[73:36]Hmm.
[73:37]Hmm.
[73:42]Next time I say that, you guys could be like, oh no, Rob,
[73:45]you really do contribute a lot to this podcast.
[73:46]I appreciate it.
[73:47]Rob, you do contribute a lot.
[73:48]All those Google searches you send us during the week are fantastic.
[73:52]Yeah.
[73:52]Well, you know, I think next I'm going to start getting into philosophy.
[73:55]Feel how soft these nuts are.
[73:58]All right.
[73:59]So next up, and then I don't know where I'm going after that.
[74:04]So I have a big like thing.
[74:05]And then afterwards I have to recover a little bit just from the thought of it.
[74:07]Rob's paid me a lot of money to sell these, these nuts joke tonight.
[74:11]Hi.
[74:12]Power.
[74:12]You're the new Aaron.
[74:14]You're laughing at all my jokes.
[74:15]I love it.
[74:16]Aaron, you're out.
[74:16]I'm empowered.
[74:18]I wanted to play this because this is RBX on this verse.
[74:20]Oh, sorry.
[74:22]I have no remorse because I'm the make-up murderer.
[74:25]Haven't you ever heard of a killer?
[74:27]You got a great voice.
[74:29]Yeah, but after listening to those other songs, I can skip that.
[74:32]Here's Aaron's favorite tracks.
[74:33]Yes, may I help you?
[74:36]Hello.
[74:36]I had a 12 o'clock appointment with Dr. Dre.
[74:39]This is perhaps a skit that doesn't add to the.
[74:42]Oh, you think that Dr. Dre never speaks on this?
[74:45]Maybe it's just like.
[74:46]Who does, who does the sex get better?
[74:49]Is this one better?
[74:50]Is it the Biggie one better?
[74:51]It's gotta be Biggie's is better.
[74:53]Like even the thought of Biggie, the size of like a car, you know, with some poor woman under him.
[75:00]Like that's what everybody thinks about, right?
[75:01]Is like what physically is happening when Biggie is having sex with somebody.
[75:04]And you just picture like it's her like trying to wrestle this mattress size man.
[75:08]Even that idea is better because he's like.
[75:12]He's saying things, she's saying things that's funny.
[75:13]Those ones, it's just sounds like it's, it's like everybody can hear him having sex.
[75:17]It sounds disrespectful to me.
[75:18]I don't know.
[75:19]I think there's a certain amount of disrespect in this album.
[75:23]You pretty much nailed it, Rob.
[75:25]You know what?
[75:26]That's a hot take.
[75:27]I'm going to stand by it.
[75:28]Stranded on Death Row.
[75:30]I actually really like this.
[75:31]I didn't know a lot of these songs in the back end either.
[75:33]This is the one we've, we've bumped a lot, Russell.
[75:35]This one I remember listening to a bunch of the Russell.
[75:38]So you guys in your dorm room with all the black light posters would bump.
[75:42]Stranded on Death Row.
[75:43]Yes.
[75:44]And we would always talk along with the opening part.
[75:47]Those who are quiet will always cause riots.
[75:49]I think Stranded on Death Row also has the Lady of Rage on it too, right?
[75:52]Yeah.
[75:53]It's a long one.
[75:54]Yeah.
[75:55]It's got a lot of verses.
[75:55]Yeah.
[75:56]I mean, there's a lot of these posse cuts.
[75:57]I was, I went to my book booze and vinyl and they don't have the chronic, but they did have doggy style.
[76:03]So I was going to share what I'm drinking tonight with you guys.
[76:05]I'm drinking gin and juice.
[76:07]And according to the book, the way you make gin and juice is gin, grapefruit juice,
[76:12]orange juice, and a lime garnish.
[76:14]So I'm enjoying gin and juice tonight.
[76:15]That's gin and juices.
[76:16]There's two juices in gin and juice?
[76:18]There are two juices in gin and juice, according to booze and vinyl.
[76:22]Do they tell you to shake it rather than stir it?
[76:23]I always thought the juice was like, I don't know why, but I always thought it was like Hawaiian punch.
[76:28]I can't imagine.
[76:29]Why did I think that?
[76:30]That's insanity.
[76:31]That's not even a juice by any definition.
[76:33]Gin and punch.
[76:35]It's probably OJ, right?
[76:36]So you're telling me every time they're rolling down the street and they're sipping gin and juice,
[76:40]they've got both orange juice.
[76:42]Gin and grapefruit juice in that cup.
[76:43]Where do you even buy grapefruit juice?
[76:47]It may not have multiple mixtures, yeah.
[76:49]That's true.
[76:50]Like when you were in college, you never had two mixtures.
[76:52]It was like, I'm going to go buy the warm Sprite from the vending machine.
[76:55]There was no two mixtures.
[76:56]It was just whatever's on hand.
[76:57]Let's see.
[76:57]I've got Mountain Dew and I've got Karkoff vodka out of a plastic bottle.
[77:01]Ah, yes.
[77:01]I will mix these.
[77:02]That sounds good to me.
[77:03]That is a night.
[77:04]That is a good night right there.
[77:06]Yeah.
[77:06]Oh, why can't I ever look at a bottle of lime vodka anymore?
[77:09]Well, that might be the reason.
[77:10]The Roach.
[77:12]I wanted to play this beginning part because this sounds so much like George Clinton.
[77:15]Well, they're just, yeah, they're ripping off Make My Funk the P-Funk.
[77:19]I thought it was George Clinton doing like a cameo on this album.
[77:22]It's crazy.
[77:23]It sounds so much like him.
[77:24]Yeah, I guess it's an homage maybe.
[77:27]And here's another song that my kids walked in on me playing over and over and over.
[77:31]How do I say this?
[77:34]Bees Ain't Shit.
[77:35]Bees Ain't Shit, but this is the clean version.
[77:41]Okay.
[77:42]So you can't understand anything he's saying in the clean version.
[77:46]These clean versions are rough.
[77:48]But I do want to read these lyrics to you just to end this album because I think it's,
[77:55]first of all, crazy song to end the album on, like super aggressive, super, super weird.
[77:59]But they edited out the word, the phrase used to be all up in them guts.
[78:04]And whoever edited this took out the word guts for being dirty.
[78:08]And I was like, all up in those guts is the funniest way to say ever.
[78:11]That you've had sexual intercourse, that you got all up in those guts is so good to me.
[78:15]Like, I want to start saying that, like, oh, yeah, my wife's pregnant.
[78:18]I got all up in her guts.
[78:19]Like, it's so good.
[78:20]She can say that about me, too.
[78:23]Oh, yeah, I got all up in Rob's guts.
[78:25]You know, I don't like that, actually.
[78:27]That's bad.
[78:27]That's a good idea to edit it out.
[78:28]Rob, do you think Tony ever got up in Mona's guts?
[78:31]Oh, no.
[78:32]Mona, getting all up in your guts.
[78:36]All right.
[78:38]That was a special edition that did not get aired.
[78:41]That was aired on ABC.
[78:42]No, well, that's like when Mona had her sister over Candace.
[78:44]Candace who?
[78:47]Yeah, Candace nuts fit in your mouth.
[78:49]All right.
[78:50]That is it for the chronic.
[78:52]Let's get to nobody's favorite part anymore.
[78:54]Got a lot of emails, by the way, saying they actually hate this part.
[78:57]It's very confusing.
[78:58]What?
[78:59]No, just kidding.
[79:00]Nobody sends us any emails, period.
[79:01]Except for insurance companies.
[79:03]If you guys want any discounted car insurance, please let me know.
[79:07]Because Beck did it better at gmail.com is getting a lot of emails.
[79:11]About insurance for some reason.
[79:13]All right.
[79:14]So let's get into our final rating for 1992 is the chronic,
[79:18]which we broke down in excruciating detail and definitely talked about
[79:21]the social implications of gangster rap as it played out throughout the
[79:26]nineties, especially in our Midwestern lives.
[79:29]Let's go, Russell.
[79:30]What do you think?
[79:31]Is it rolling?
[79:33]Well, tone, which means it's exactly right at number 36.
[79:37]Is it rolling bone?
[79:40]Which means, hey, this should have been 34.
[79:41]It should have been earlier at a lower number.
[79:44]Now, of course, we are going low to high, much in a way an airplane does when it's taking off.
[79:49]Or was this a rolling groan?
[79:51]Okay.
[79:51]That means that it should be later on the list.
[79:53]Much like when an airplane is going down, it is going down the list.
[79:57]However, when an airplane is going down, the numbers are actually getting lower on the altimeter,
[80:00]where in this case, the number is going up because it is a Rolling Stones list.
[80:03]So, Russell, what do you think of the album, The Chronic 1992 by Dr.
[80:08]Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog at the time?
[80:11]I love the funk.
[80:13]I love the synthesizer.
[80:14]Snoop Dogg coming into his own here is fantastic.
[80:18]And listening to it on my new Beats by Dre headphones, the bass is amazing on it.
[80:23]Some of this was kind of tough to listen to, though.
[80:25]I don't even think someone could make an album like this anymore.
[80:28]I think it would be over for them immediately.
[80:30]But you have nothing but a G thing.
[80:32]Fuck with Dray Day, Stranded on Death Row, the amazing jazz flute, the awesome skit.
[80:37]To me, this is an absolute classic.
[80:39]It brings me back to being a kid.
[80:41]If I had a choice between this or Ready to Die with Biggie, I'm going to take this.
[80:45]So I'm going to say it's Rolling Boned.
[80:47]All right, Aaron, what do you think?
[80:49]Yeah, this is tough for me.
[80:52]Is this a Rolling Well tone?
[80:53]And that means it's a perfectly ranked album?
[80:55]Is it Rolling Boned?
[80:56]Or is this a Rolling Grown?
[80:58]What do you think?
[80:59]I have the same nostalgia for this album that Russell was talking about.
[81:03]These videos were on MTV, and I was so curious about it and fascinated about it.
[81:08]And I had to go buy.
[81:11]I had to go buy some Parliament CDs because I wanted to hear how they created the sound and what it was all about.
[81:15]Oh, my God.
[81:16]You were a nerd from young age.
[81:18]It's true.
[81:19]You could have paid a penny for those on Columbia, Aaron, and gotten a couple of them.
[81:23]I know.
[81:23]But I found myself.
[81:25]It was really small.
[81:27]What the fuck are you talking about?
[81:28]By the way, I want to go back to that.
[81:29]I'm going to edit this in later.
[81:30]What the fuck are you talking about, Aaron?
[81:31]You didn't see that?
[81:33]You didn't have to.
[81:34]It came in the newspaper.
[81:35]It was like a little insert.
[81:36]Anyway, I don't think this album quite holds up as an album.
[81:41]It's too long.
[81:42]It's really heavy on RBX, who would have been used better in smaller doses.
[81:46]There's not enough Nate Dogg, and I think there's some filler on it.
[81:51]So I think the highs are as high as any rap record or higher, but I'm going to have to give it a rolling groan.
[81:58]And yeah, I'm just going to give it a rolling groan.
[82:01]Oh, my God.
[82:03]You tricked me there.
[82:04]I was almost ready to go and then stop.
[82:06]I was going to say, I found myself a little bit upset because I wanted to revisit It's Dark and Hell is Hot and listen to
[82:11]more DMX this week, but I had to do my homework for The Chronic.
[82:14]So I don't know.
[82:15]I felt like I might want to listen to DMX instead.
[82:17]Yep.
[82:18]There's another artist that when you listen to him, the kids walk in.
[82:22]It can be problematic as well, by the way.
[82:23]Yes.
[82:24]Yes.
[82:24]Go ahead, Russell.
[82:26]I feel like Aaron's animosity made him speak what he just spoke right there.
[82:30]Yes.
[82:30]Animosity, Aaron.
[82:33]Matt.
[82:33]I think you got it, Russell.
[82:34]What do you think?
[82:35]Rolling groan, groan, groan to rolling groan?
[82:37]I think this is rolling groan.
[82:41]You know, as a cultural icon of an album.
[82:45]Yeah.
[82:45]You know, MTV made this just everybody knows that everybody's heard it.
[82:51]Everybody knows who Snoop Dogg is.
[82:53]Who knows who Dr. Dre is because of it.
[82:55]But there are so many albums that we're going to be getting to moving forward.
[82:59]Basically, four or five outcast albums.
[83:02]Nas, Tribe Called Quest.
[83:05]There's so many.
[83:06]A couple more of the Kanye albums.
[83:09]Some Jay-Z.
[83:11]There are just so much better albums than this one.
[83:14]So, you know, just from a pure standpoint of greatest albums of all time, this is rolling groan for sure in my book.
[83:22]The correct answer is that this is a rolling quotation.
[83:27]Who can not sing along with this song?
[83:30]If you grew up in the 90s, every single person knows almost every lyric to this song.
[83:36]Strategically sing along.
[83:37]Including, I'm creeping and I'm creeping and I'm creeping.
[83:40]Every time I put this on, I was like, ah, dang, this is a good song.
[83:46]All right.
[83:47]That's it for The Chronic.
[83:49]Next up, we're going to go.
[83:50]Okay.
[83:51]So, this is going to blow your mind.
[83:52]We're going to go to a lower number next week because we've got Michael Jackson off the wall.
[83:57]And I used to have a couple of these.
[83:58]But it's higher on the list?
[84:00]Yes.
[84:01]Now you go, okay, wait a minute.
[84:03]Yes, it is higher on the list.
[84:04]Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[84:07]How dare you pull that shit with me?
[84:08]He's going to get it.
[84:10]He's going to be spanking after this in the post-game show.
[84:12]That's going to be next week's spanking of the week.
[84:15]But, you know, I used to have a couple of Michael Jackson CDs.
[84:19]CDs nuts.
[84:22]When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time.
[84:27]That's just too late to look it up online.
[84:32]Yeah, now we're here.
[84:35]When you want to hear the guys chat and then they get all tired.
[84:38]That was me doing Michael Jackson.
[84:40]I've got the perfect podcast for you, Jack.
[84:43]Beck did it better.
[84:46]I'm going to start creating a manual for you guys to figure out where our line is.
[84:52]Because I think our line is moving every week of what's acceptable, what's not.
[84:56]Every time I listen to one of these albums, I think, well, there's got to be a quote I can use in my dating apps.
[85:01]And for the last week, I've been signing every email.
[85:04]Instead of saying, hey, look forward to hearing from you, I've been saying, sincerely yours, these mother effing nuts.
[85:10]It hasn't gone very well for me.
[85:12]I would highly recommend you change that to dear so-and-so I'm creeping and I'm creeping.
