[03:00]it's been a while since we've done quality aaron toes well i'll tell you what uh i i just realized i think i edited it out every time aaron was bragging about his big boners but it's something that has happened on the show uh listen everybody we've got three guys here who are so confident in themselves they're bugging in we've got matt minneapolis matt how are you doing oh after that uh started the show just great rob this is gonna be a great show russell in minnesota russell how are you doing today listen to my rhyme because it's time to make the gravy i hope my next first date doesn't show up pregnant with a baby oh here we go yo here we go yo what's a date without a pregnant person

[04:02]we've got aaron and aaron's letting me know this album came out in 90 1991 they should have called it the low winsky theory low winsky low winsky uh but aaron did aaron did say he didn't think bill clinton did anything wrong aaron in california how are you doing aaron i'm great i'm very excited to talk about this album my only quibble with q-tip is that i like i like my liquor stronger than 80 proof but otherwise i think he's on point all the way through so let's talk about it all right so let's get into today's i can't find where my mouse went oh there it is and we're going to start today with a voicemail yeah the back of our adoring so stupid i could kiss my ass now normally i would play this and say how our listeners are a bunch of mouth breathers but this week i gotta say they're on point hey guys aaron from minnesota calling i just finished listening to the rolling stones episode and i wanted to comment on russell's list for this week which was

[05:04]awesome fiddle playing in them and i feel like i love russell's list you had a huge miss on this one you had no songs by the chicks on your fiddle list and i really feel like that's a myth marty okay aaron we get it we see the text messages yeah we'll call them the dixie chicks okay relax a little bit geez louise marty mcguire is an amazing fiddler and i love some of their songs heavy songs like sin wagon is super fun great fiddling action it's true i mean she's got sin wagon by the chicks yeah this is this is a jam cowboy take me away i know they had to change their name i didn't know if they got canceled or what happened so i didn't want to bring them up on the list and create a firestorm over the name or something like

[06:01]that you really didn't know if they got they did get canceled but like reverse canceled they got canceled in a way that nobody else has gotten canceled they got like conservative canceled it was wild so yeah russ turns out you're real dumb shit uh what do you have to say for yourself oh no i would i would just say that aaron's voicemail has to die goodbye aaron goodbye i gotta say my brain my brain is so broken that the whole time she was talking about fiddling i think i've been on the podcast too long with you guys because i thought the dirtiest stuff but i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i was like i love i love a list about we're fiddling and you should see the dixie chicks do some fiddling and i was like what what is wrong with my brain where i think that's dirty it's like i know what she's talking about but i just could not help it they had me the other day where i was talking to jenny in bed and she goes you're not on the podcast right now oh no reviews are in i was like that's a good bit though i would also say aaron has not obviously listened to our most recent episode the

[07:00]radiohead one where we talked about how hey no one wants advice from other people anyways so thanks for giving that aaron you must not be a caught up in here that we don't want your stupid advice anyways some great fiddling action though that would be a great uh nickname for this podcast i think there's a better joke there i'm pretty sure it's aaron's message board name for some website i'm not sure which website it is but the charlie daniels message board that's my name was great fiddling action charlie daniels.net like he was too slow to get the.com so he had to get the.net maybe i can change my my bumble profile to be at me holding a fiddle and it will just say like into great fiddling action i bet i would get some swipes on that that'd be so good and everybody'd be like isn't that a violin and you're like i think it's different uh oh god rob why why would you do that why would you pull the brakes on that so hard this is such a good bit rob how do people get a hold of the bex line the back line who cares who cares anymore because i'm just gonna kill it i'm gonna kill momentum you can call or text the bex line 802-277-BEC that's

[08:05]802-277-BEC and just to warn you if you do text me there is a chance that i or that the line i should say there is a chance that the bec did it better will text you back and sometimes it's inappropriate oh yeah all right let's get into our next segment and i need to find the sting for it it's been a while guys we haven't recorded in like a week and a half i'm feeling rusty aaron what do you guys all right shut up i still got it it's time to see what everybody's saying i miss you guys sound practice the sound bit is playing all right rolling going matt how is it rolling going with you uh good good it's going great um only a couple things on my list this week here i was watching the pga championship this afternoon i had the whole day off that's a classic dad move dad stuff dad vibes not even the masters

[09:07]fourth it's the sun redheaded stepchild at the exact moment wasn't it and you know what i tried i tried to watch nba playoffs the nba is just horrible oh it's absolutely horrible in this podcast i don't know how you can watch it it's just already it's just two people pick and roll shoot from a three pass pass pass shoot pass pass pass shoot there's nothing going on in nba basketball anymore it's not even defense i hate it when i get to see the world's greatest athletes play their best yeah i'd much rather watch a bunch of college kids miss threes all day long all right sorry matt i interrupted go so i took i had the day off because um i don't know if we talked about this for my kids they earned their second uh they played video games all day all right so literally they woke up at 6 30 they went down to the basement we made them come up for like

[10:02]breakfast made him come for lunch made him made leo bike around the block a couple times this morning at dinner they literally played video games the whole day and they earned it it was great it's probably not our best parenting move but like it's essentially a day off for for the parents as well and it was great can i ask you a question when you play video games with your kids i love to beat my kids is that true oh god i do i don't know what what's the game that what are they into right now what do they use playing oh my god why did you do that um you learned minecraft i mean they really get minecraft but there's there's just a bunch of mario games and i don't know what they're into right now i don't know what they're into right now and there's a bunch there's a couple other uh maybe more kid friendly ones younger kid friendly ones that we want you guys wouldn't know about but uh there's some pokemon stuff that they're into we've got so many games over here ask this question of course i'm curious you're really interested in this yeah i need to know my kids only four i gotta know what's on the horizon for me what do i need to prepare myself for what do i need to know i think your kid's gonna be playing

[11:02]with like your kid's gonna be playing with like a hoop and a stick you're gonna be like in my day stick i could easily see aaron's could be like the ball in the cup kid and aaron's like oh almost got it there so i had the day off so i got washed a couple cars i've got a classic car we think we've talked about it i've got my 1989 isuzu pickup classic it's a classic i got it it's got one wash for the day but i was watching and phil mickelson won the pga championship right back around and so everybody everybody there right it's just cheering but if you look and you're watching everybody's got their phone up while he's watching and he's watching and he's watching and he's winning the championship right okay which is just it i don't know if i've just have been around if i've had my cell phone for too long what is your guys uh cell phone etiquette like at a concert or like a big game or something like that do you have your phone out or do you just can i can i drill down on this a little bit matt are you asking are you being critical of people

[12:00]not enjoying the moment and just focusing on recording it are you talking about it interrupting other people's views where are you going with this all of the above like it is to me it is the dumbest thing to try to say oh you know i'm 100 yards away from phil mickelson and like i'm going to who are you going to show that shot to no how many times are you going to watch that again zero like just enjoy the moment right i think it's more important that this for people now to to have some sort of picture saying i was there to post this on some sort of social media and get the accolades that come with that but you can you could take a picture like being there right like by the trophy by you know whatever without saying like oh you know i saw phil mickelson hit that shot you know kind of a thing like and all you seriously people are staring at their phones they're looking up like this they're not watching everything why i just don't get it happens at concerts what is your guys do you guys uh partake in the videoing and then putting it on insta and so so i have three answers to this right number one is i'm the ipad dad guy at the school functions i got the ipad up not a phone i've got the full ipad up as high as

[13:03]it goes i'm filming the kid front row so no everybody else can just see my ipad view of it always my favorite dad at the school function things again videos you're never going to watch again yeah rob also has that ipad up in his bedroom when his best friend is deep dicking his wife sorry was that inappropriate rob oh i just had some sushi no to the point where we have a sting ready to go for that very moment matt's position is something to strive for so i've been both i've uh when the the tour of california went at monte abloh in 2013 i rode out there and i was gone went by trying to get video of peter sagan but i oh my god i mean who the hell who hasn't tried to get a bit video of sagan i loved him in street fighter too he was my favorite he's on his way out now it's it's a it's a sign of all of our mortality that he was unbeatable in 2013 and it's 2021 he's on his way out he's he can't keep up with what vinerd and matthew vanderpoel but i'm uh i'm with you matt it's a it's a thing to strive for to be to be in the moment to be there

[14:03]and not get out your phone and take the video and know that the video that you're taking mentally is is enough it's it's something to to strive for we all gotta fight that impulse right we're gonna fight that impulse to experience the experience we're experiencing and actually get up in there and so that that's my new that's the new hill that i'm dying on is put your damn phone down i like it i went to russia in college but i took a bunch of photos of like churches and all these different things and i got back and i was like i don't really like these photos and my mom said one of the things i've kept with me for my rest of my life she says nobody wants to see a picture without people right it's like i don't really like these photos and my mom said one of them nobody wants so i don't take pictures anymore that don't have me or the girls or what's her name jenny yeah look at this sunset you can't you can't capture it in a picture so i will just take i'll just take a selfie if i see something cool i'll take a selfie and be like i was here and then it's like that that is a more interesting picture and not just because it's me i know that's the joke you guys are gonna make i was in central park and i saw somebody naked so i took a selfie

[15:03]with me with the naked guy that's a better picture than just a naked guy right yep the just naked guy be like yeah why did i take this picture but me with a naked guy in the background class you see i was there you probably didn't need to do those things to him and put it on you porn but it works for you right rob wait what's you i don't know what that website is oh i was gonna say uh aaron's wife once whatever her name is taught me a lesson about being in pictures once we aaron took me to this place called the comstock saloon in san francisco and i was gonna take a picture of kind of the outside window or whatever kind of the banner of it and she kind of hollered at me and said hey get in there pictures with no people in them are stupid there you go as much as we make fun of aaron and whatever whatever her name is they are they do have some logic to the way they do things aaron's wife at gmail.com could be my mom something to think about so that would mean aaron's like my dad i think i get it now i get why i treat aaron the way i do that would also mean he's your kid's grandpa he's he's my kid's grandpa yeah i take that aaron is a grandpa aaron

[16:05]is a perfect grandpa hey kids did i ever tell you about dave brubeck's bass player they'd be like jesus grandpa you're so boring they'd be like yes he is he is boring this guy's boring as shit uh yeah so i got that the last thing i got i just tell a quick story i had the pleasure of going out to new york last weekend i went out there with manny from south st paul we had we had a great time we surprised rob for his birthday his wife jenny we've talked about a number of times on this show did a great thing right i mean i don't know rob did you have a good time she ordered a boat yeah what else so my wife basically threw a surprise birthday for me where at some point i walked onto a boat thinking that we were going out to dinner with some friends and i turned to my left and all of a sudden uh like 10 drag queens jump out and yell surprise at me and i'm like that's a surprise and then i look and basically every friend i have in new york is on this boat and we get to hang out as i'm walking back saying hi to people i'm saying all of a sudden i see this like just vision right

[17:03]just this guy just jacked and next to him was matt and i was like what the heck matt and i'm here this is crazy so i just like gave him a hug and then hung out with him and then i said to him what are you guys doing tomorrow and they're like hanging out with you dummy and i was like oh yeah that makes sense so jenny's been planning this thing for weeks right and i've been trying to keep it quiet on the podcast and all the stuff and with you know russ and rosie knew about it so you know we've been trying to keep it all quiet but so jenny you know it's she's been great she's like well do you think people want to come on manny like yeah man you're coming out you know we're gonna come out so okay well great so here i'll give you all the details like okay what time should we show up i'm like okay what time should we show up i'm like okay what time should we show up you guys need to be there at six o'clock you need to bring tape matt you're in charge of putting out this so we got we got a list of everything we saw all of a sudden we got out there and we were put right to work it was great it was great so then we're so we're on the boat all right and so we knew there's going to be the drag queens are going to be on there this will be part of the show the back of the boat has a bunch of lights right we don't know and there's no tables back

[18:00]there so we're thinking oh this must be where the the show is going to be and all this stuff and we're like all right this is great so then we look at what where did jenny assign us you guys need to be there at six o'clock you need to bring tape matt you're in charge of putting out table five so it's me and manny we're back at the table five this is great jenny set us up right right in front of you know she must really this is great she must really like us she set us up right where the show is going to be we're going to be front row of the show and everything like that well when it's time to sit down everybody's sitting down it's me and manny we're then rob's kids and then somebody else from rob's one person and then all of a sudden the show is about to start realize that no they're not doing the show in the back there we are in the far back table we're way in the back and the show's up front so i did have to put we did put matt and manny back at the kids table okay to teach him a little lesson about something or other i don't know what the lesson was i can't think of anything on my feet fast so manny and i flew out there to be uh to be the help and then sit in the back of the you know i have the worst seat in the house that was good and it was it was

[19:03]so great to see you guys but this does lead me to the first uh-oh someone was a bad little boy it's time for big papa rob to give you the discipline you pop around it's time for the official spanking of the week all right so i've got one here for russell and i've got one here for aaron okay so you pieces of shit did not come out to my surprise party therefore you get the spankings of the week okay aaron it's not your wedding i you got invited okay i didn't even get invited you're all right which we're not going to talk about now that's a rolling going i'm going so tell me why didn't you pieces of shit come out to my birthday party i've got i got three reasons you got to let me tell all three before you interrupt me again though rob like like you did earlier i'm going to try so hard number one i was traveling for work the next week and i didn't want to go do too much traveling like within a few days second i did get a text from matt which was a

[20:01]forwarded text from jenny which made it very clear that we were going to be the help at this event and to help set things up and i was like i'm not going to york city to help set up a party for rob's like 41st birthday or whatever it is so those are the two reasons the third i i can't handle more than like an hour and a half view a week i'll tell you what we did have some statues that needed moving around it was very disappointed i have russell there we would have loved and we had a seat all picked out for you right next to the boat captain it would have been perfect you would have been right up front you'd been honking that horn it would have been great listen when you have a surprise but actually i took almost no pictures whatsoever and we kind of regretted afterwards jenny was going to hire a photographer then she so guess what she fucked up on that one too so the real question is rob before you get to erin why he didn't show up is was it a real surprise for you or did you act 100 no it was 100 a true surprise and i love listen i love surprise parties i think they're just the best and jenny threw me one like i don't know what 10 years ago and it was just like four people coming over and i thought

[21:02]it was the greatest thing ever so to have this with like you know 40 people on board or whatever and then to see friends from minnesota and then to have a drag show while we're going around the statue of liberty like he was absolutely fantastic jenny did say to turn to me though at during the thing and she said why didn't that piece of shit erin come out here and i said i don't know why so erin why didn't you come out erin he's a real fucking loser i don't have a great ah i've been searching for a good joke about this for the last 30 seconds i mean new york's really far from california rob it's such a long flight and i wasn't prepared to take such a long journey at this point in our in our nation's history well i would like to think that i would like to visit you but you have never invited me out so i don't know have you guys ever had have you guys ever had a time where you thought you were maybe going to have a surprise party thrown for you and then it didn't happen and you were disappointed like maybe erin your 30th birthday or matt when it was your 40th birthday did you guys ever think oh i better dress up a little more maybe this is going to be a surprise birthday that was a big letdown that sounds

[22:01]terrible no i'm just curious okay russell you can say it we feel so terrible i'm just curious russell why are you wearing a tuxedo i just thought i would let matt carry the beck did a better torch and i i i wasn't able to make it but i was i definitely had fomo while i was looking at the photos and the videos guess what forgiveness not given uh is that what you say forgiveness not given i do have to say a couple things about the party first of all it makes me realize how little i noticed like to a point where i'm worried about my brain okay my brain could be like just going away rapidly because for example jenny baked three cookies for each person so she baked cookies wrapped them individually i did not notice i never noticed i never asked any questions she was baking cookies and wrapping them individually and never once did i say why are you doing this i was just like oh okay like the girls that night nobody fed them on that friday and like they never called me for dinner and i was just like okay like nothing nothing set off any alarm bells they were like oh we're having dinner over here actually it's on a boat and i go

[23:03]okay so i just walk over like i'm like literally i could just be conditioned to like commit crimes it'd be terrible and then the other thing is this is when i have to give out my second spanking because jenny it's time for big papa rob to give you the throwing this party for me it's time for the official did it better has really fucked me how dare she do this because you know what i thought of the minute i realized she had set this up that for her birthday this year instead of a surprise party on a boat with friends from out of town and full catering and all that stuff i was like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my god i'm gonna be an open bar and all that i forgot to get the candles because i was editing this dumb podcast and then we threw a birthday party for the dog so i don't i cannot throw together a surprise party it it would just be the same people like it would be all of my friends on the boat again i don't i wouldn't even know who to like would what i call her work who is jenny friends with at work like how does that work do you think she threw the surprise party for you to like really have a

[24:04]head up on you or did she do it because she loves you or because she wanted to to feel like she won the battle you know what i bet you're right she's trying to she's trying to show me that she's better than me how dare she do that you know what couldn't be that she loves you and wants you to have a wonderful birthday oh aaron i don't like playing the slap sounds for my wife why would you make me do that that's terrible the other reason you were going to spank us is for matt's birthday you guys put together like this amazing or someone put together this amazing um all his friends called in wish him happy birthday and everything his mom told us the story about the umbilical cord and everything else and for rob's birthday i noticed on our last week's episode rob mentioned his birthday and not one of us said a damn thing about it we didn't even say happy birthday or anything because we were trying to keep the gig up we didn't want to we didn't want to mess up the the surprise that was my birthday gift to you rob and it's 41 like right like when do you when does it kind of just become a day it is it is true everybody in the boat thought it was my 40th because i had missed kind of last year's birthday so jenny was just saying it's my 40th i

[25:01]told a friend when we were going out after i said this is my 41st he goes what the fuck i wouldn't go out for someone's 41st birthday but we had a great time matt and i we went to a comedy club with manny we went to a jazz club we ate delicious food and matt got to see what jenny means when she says oh yeah it's just a little bit of a walk from here when we went from fourth avenue up to a place on 54th uh just in one shot no there's a subway right under us the whole time we walked the whole way it was a long hey non-new yorkers don't know what the hell that means rob put it in miles or something for us it's 50 blocks i five miles yeah that's reason for why i didn't go i've had enough sweaty first over the last year i don't need another one yeah uh roland going russell how's it going with you it's going really well as you guys know i traveled to mexico for a work thing recently this last week i just got home tonight but as you guys know when i travel i gotta share some some of my impressions that come from being on airplanes and at the airport so can i get your guys feedback on

[26:03]what you think of these type of situations at the airport now it's time for plain old russell oh oh yeah that's great that's great so first i'm sitting down on my flight back today of course the guy who sits next to me comes in with a box and it's clearly hot food he had pizza on the plane the guy brought a pizza on the plane i was like you gotta be shitting me he had multiple slices you bring if you bring a whole yeah if you bring a whole pizza into any public situation you need to offer to share aaron's eating plain pizza what what does what seat did he have russell was he like at first so he sat down and he was i was on the window he was on the aisle so i was like oh my god at least he's not next to me and then a lady came and said you're in my seat and he had to scoot over to the middle seat oh middle seat pizza guy so then he's definitely gotta share a pizza right yeah but the real thing the real thing that jumped out to me i this is the first time i've ever had this are you guys exit row guys do you ever want to sit in the exit row do you like

[27:02]sitting in the exit row what's your thought on the exit row absolutely i would love to have i would love to be the sully of the flight be a hero open the door so the reason i bring it up is there was a guy sitting in front there were two exit rows i was sitting in one the guy in front of me was probably like a 16 17 year old kid and they came around when you see the exit row they kind of go through they make sure you're looking at them and they you have to say yes i'm willing to do these duties this kid was clearly not prepared for any of this and so he stopped looking at her he kept not listening to her and she was yelling at him you need to look at me when i'm talking to you and he just kept ignoring her kept pulling his mask down and everything he was joking around with his buddy and she starts telling him and he looks and he goes to grab the handle like while we're on the plane a classic gag whoa and she's she starts hollering at him and she goes how are you at least 16 years old because i think you might have to be 16 to be in an exit row and he said yes yes but the whole flight i was like i can't believe i'm gonna die

[28:03]i'm gonna go big bopper style because this fucking kid in the exit row isn't prepared for this duty you're like dude open the exit door we gotta get out of here and he's like don't be so choogy you're like wait what does that mean youth culture i got killed by youth culture i was kind of wondering rob who do you think was the exit or on the big bopper you think he was the one manning the exit oh yeah absolutely or not yeah he was like what if i pull this handle baby aaron shut up over my big bopper impression hey baby check out this big handle i'm gonna pull for you i was gonna say i was gonna say russ when when she was yelling at this kid did she notice that you got rock hard from her yelling at this kid over and over and over that's what your fetish is you loved it yeah i shouldn't have asked her to pull out the handle that was a mistake sir your trade table is going up on its own okay and that's a good joke you gotta admit that's a good one and then i had one last thing for you guys with the airport have you ever been to like let's say a work conference

[29:00]or you're at an event with friends of friends or something where let's say you share a cab ride back to the airport with someone you don't really know or you you get to the airport with someone you know it's an acquaintance but not a friend not someone you don't really know you get to the airport with someone you're traveling with what is the etiquette when it comes to hey they're not through security yet i am but we came here together do we have to keep hanging out together at some point or have like an official goodbye or can you just walk away from the person at some point what is the etiquette there matt i i've got clear i've got tsa i've got i've paid for as many things as i humanly can pay for to get from point a to point b as fast as possible and so like manny and the same flight home from new york last week and i'm like well see you in there you know because i am not waiting in that line if i can just literally walk through like because i paid for it you know by privilege allows me to walk through that so you're saving money yeah and you know and like what man man he was 10 minutes behind me right so it wasn't like a big deal but i'm not gonna

[30:02]stay in that line so no you just say i'm gonna well i'm tsa i'm going you know like i'll i'm over here so no i don't know i think you try to get away from that awkward situation as fast as possible and just because like you want to go do your own thing right like maybe you want to grab a coffee or you want to you know you're going to sit down and read a book or listen to a book or something like that like you don't want to be you've just been talking to these people for the last three four days the last thing you want to do is keep talking to more people again when you're off the clock now so yeah again and this is the one guy who came to visit me so i want to eat the pizza at the airport without being judged by someone who's a healthy eater right ordering airport pizza right right yeah yeah exactly and i think too russell if you were at security and they saw that you had like 20 different nipple clamps they'd be like what why do you need 20 well we're two you need two four at most you've got where you were you were presenting right and like so this is like a work conference yeah like don't you i if if it's me i cannot wait to just be off the clock from all that work stuff you know what i mean like like i've just done this

[31:03]is matt time now i don't have i got a t-shirt on i got jeans i got my my kicks i don't have to dress up anymore i don't want to talk any more work stuff so this is kind of how it came up as i split a car with four or five people like a big van with four or five people that were at the conference who i know i know them professionally i wouldn't call them friends or anything but then once we got there a few of us kind of kept going through the same airline and it kept you didn't know when it's time to say hey i'm just gonna go sit by myself it's a goodbye without feeling like an asshole irish goodbye irish goodbye irish goodbye take off hey what's that just be like guys i gotta take the bus and i'm gonna go to the airport biggest dump ever i mean mexico am i right and then they'll just all right they come out and they're like are you wearing nipple clamps you gotta go find that family bathroom and hope no one yells at you for it right rob no absolutely not yeah that's another you're you're a war criminal if you're using that family bathroom do you know how many people i had to wait oh my god

[32:02]russell i've had to change diapers and i've had to wait for the family bathroom and then some woman comes skulking out and i'm like oh you get out of here like you just spread down the whole bathroom she's got 20 nipple clamps all over her body yeah so aaron rolling going how's it going with you i'm all right i'm all right i uh believe it or not i also traveled this week and uh by the way how tight do you think nipple clamps are do you think nipple clamps are like if you just pinch tightly or are they like like what size binder clips would they be are they like that's too tight right can you turn like a dial and make them tighter or looser or not that's a good idea russell don't i'm gonna edit that out that's our that's our money making we're gonna give dubeck did a better branded nipple clamps where you can adjust it yeah i think that's just attention they should be personalized yeah i also traveled this week and i'm gonna call russell's nipple clamps pleased to announce that i am now a fanny pack traveler the fanny pack this does not shock me at all it's an ideal travel uh bag i really enjoyed it i had a i had a

[33:04]suitcase that was a roll behind suitcase and then also had the fanny pack to keep my um other essentials in i could put a sandwich in there some hands sand um my phones not i would not mix those i would not mix those you're purposely this is like you're going for like a vibe or a look you're not doing this for utility you're you're trying to be a little bit of a hipster you're trying to be a little hipster right i don't think so i so i have a fanny pack that i got for free and i like to do the over the shoulder style because then you can kind of swing it around when you need it and it's got all the stuff you need for traveling yeah i mean that's the back yeah but a backpack is too heavy right yeah it's like a tiny backpack so i really let me let me ask why why not a backpack why not a backpack just because i have the fanny pack because i have a back i have two backpacks but they were bigger than what i needed for this particular trip so the fanny pack was the perfect size for what i needed the backpack was too big and the fanny pack was the right size other trips i do a backpack okay you're going somewhere where

[34:02]you just need like a pair of socks and some hands and pretty much but i had a rolling suitcase behind me as well so that's that yeah there's a rolling suitcase so then the fanny pack was just the essentials yeah so then the other thing uh go ahead go ahead rob i was going to shut up i was going to tell you about the next thing i wanted to say yes which is that i'm really proud of myself because i shimmied up a tree yesterday in my yard oh god bear style like bear hugged the thing and shimmied up the tree super proud of myself however i have like matt i have joined the seven inch inseam revolution and i'm gonna i'm here to tell you a seven inch inseam short is not the proper attire for shimmying up a tree i do not feel good today i wish i had worn some pants or some maybe nine to twelve inch inseam shorts that did not work out for me inside of the knees and you gotta get protection right yeah shimmying it's not feeling

[35:02]good right now it's a bad it's not a good situation down there okay why why were we shimmying rosie i was gonna hang a rope swing for my son so i had to shimmy up to get the strap over the uh furthest out branch to hang up the rope swing and it works it was successful so i did it the main part of a rope swing the strap aka the sex swing hanging from the rafters yeah exactly yeah he's like i got a swing and a strap oh yeah it's uh it's for my uh kid yeah that's you have your screwdrivers and everything or your your tools and your fanny pack when you were going up this no i should have because i got up there and i realized i had nothing with me my wife was like you should have taken the strap up with you before you went up and then she had to try no i was definitely freaking out i was definitely freaking out so you you would say that you didn't have a strap on i didn't have a strap on no i didn't know yeah he's like all i have is this fanny pack full of nipple clamps adjustable russell style nipple clamps adjustable

[36:00]russell's these don't help at all you like the tension so aaron is it like anything else with parenting where you did all this work and you put the swing up and the kid was on it for about 30 seconds it goes and then goes back inside and plays with his ball and cup or whatever no it's worse than that i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't he was like this is what i was expecting and i was this isn't as high as i thought no he had a full-on meltdown because it wasn't what he expected and he was a perfect angel while he was waiting so patient and then once it was up there it wasn't what he expected yeah you get it you love to beat my kids yeah i hear you man i get it too i think it's a good idea how's it rolling i think that's a good one i'm curious about how it's rolling with rob again we have to bring up again that aaron shimmied up a tree with and then and then got out there and goes wait a minute i forgot that is so funny to me uh and this is a percent of people that think they can beat a certain animal in a fight unarmed okay so we're gonna go away from the easy ones it's only first

[37:00]of all though seven percent of men do think they can beat a grizzly bear in a fight unarmed what this just goes to show like why there's so many problems in the world is that that's almost one out of ten men are like yeah i could take a fucking bear it's like really you think you can take a selection bear a grizzly bear a grizzly bear they weigh like 900 pounds well how would you even start to fight a grizzly bear it doesn't make any sense it makes no sense so then we have gorilla eight percent uh that's no you couldn't be no no way now okay now this is where it starts to get interesting a crocodile i have to say i do feel like i could beat a crocodile in a fight okay if i if i could get sneak up on the crocodile i feel like because like it's eyes right like i could just jab its eyes out their jars don't snap you guys have seen people wrestle crocodiles i saw a guy wrestle a crocodile in the black hills once you close those jaws that's all it takes their jaws aren't so strong opening as they are closing like if i if i came at it now if he snuck up on me toast not gonna lie in big trouble then he gets a hold of my arm i'd be in trouble but again i feel like the eyes i mean even putting my finger

[38:06]next to my eyes makes me nervous okay so kangaroo 17 percent no there's a they're bad as there's a great there's a great video of a guy punching a kangaroo steals this guy's dog rob you gotta yes i've seen that i have seen the guy comes up he starts squaring up with him he gets his up and he punches the kangaroo and the kangaroo lets the dog go so i don't know i kind of feel like maybe but it could kick you was he listening to slobber bone when he got that dog back or not that was the inspiration for it okay so let's jump ahead 23 king cobra because chimpanzees the other one we can't beat a chimpanzee they're scary as hell yeah i think i think i could beat a king cobra so this is in the fight i would pay money to see king cobra but you that means you got no weapons choke it out before it bites you i don't know man quick reflexes yeah i feel like it could bite me there's nothing that says that like i don't have anti-venom there i feel like if it bit me guess what that cobra he's in for a rough time because

[39:03]he's gonna get a punch to the arm oh like that how that hurt okay so maybe i'm rethinking that that was not good 31 of guys feel like they could beat a large dog in a fight all right that's insane what's a large dog lab i'm gonna say a pit bull i'm gonna say right now a pit bull and we're not talking about mr worldwide there's no animals at this point on the list no way not doing it okay 71 of men think they can beat a goose i don't know man i am scared as shit of geese when i like if i go for a walk and there are a bunch of them standing there and they kind of start hissing at you i start walking the other way i would rather i think take on the large dog or the king cobra than the geese absolutely those things scare the shit out of me do geese even have teeth no like what's the worst a goose could do to you just just give you a little squeeze that's it you know just punch him in the mouth there's some ego in 71 of males in this country if they think they can beat the

[40:03]geese i would be out of there okay here's the one i want to say because this is actually something i brought up last summer so i feel like i should be credited on this an eagle only 38 of men think they could beat it eagle in a fight i know for a fact i could beat an eagle in a fight if i knew that i was fighting the eagle and the eagle didn't surprise me look at how long my arms are look at how long these are what's an eagle gonna do it's gonna bite my arm yeah you might get severely wounded on one of your limbs but you're gonna survive and you're gonna be able to get that thing yeah are you sure they're super fast man and they're huge i saw a video the other day of a eagle carrying away a fox that's pretty impressive yeah yeah well guess what okay this foxy guy is gonna beat the shit out of the eagle no problem i would grab it i would destroy it in a fight i would i would first of all it would hurt me because it's like i'm fighting america right okay so that would be a bummer that i would have to be fighting freedom right there but afterwards i would pluck him i would gut him and i would put

[41:01]him into an oven and i would eat my foe okay that's one of the few animals on here that you could do this with tastes like freedom maybe a gorilla i've always wanted to eat a gorilla too but that's about it what you shouldn't eat gorilla trichinosis from bear nfl sound nfl sound nfl sound rob trichinosis from bear what the hell doesn't take the sound word away if that's not the nfl sound what is what you can ever earn it just well i was talking about fighting the eagles i mean that was here comes rob coming down he's going against the fiercest opponent the eagles now wait a minute what if it's michael vick then it's the eagle and some dogs i came here to is this a music podcast oh my god is this really what you want to do all right let's get into the album talk about the eagle yeah we're only 53 minutes into this podcast all right so we are talking today about the low end theory or as aaron said earlier the lewinsky theory because it was in

[42:04]yeah thank you uh so a couple so this is an album that came out in 1991 it was produced and pretty much george bush the prince the president 1991 yes i listen don't bother me it was like 96 97 all the lewinsky stuff you're off about five years but that's all right is that really was i really 16 when a bunch of jokes about blowjobs are going on i feel like that might have influenced me somehow and this was really i mean this is really produced by mainly i think the main force behind this album is q-tip right right like this that's kind of what's going on with this produced and kind of had the idea of like basically there's two songs on this album that weren't produced by q-tip and it's the two that didn't produce it and it's the two that didn't produce it It doesn't have just this absolutely mind-blowing, thumping bass in it. You want to just have bass in your face all day long. And when the album came out, I think it was successful.

[43:00]But looking back, people have now kind of deemed it as like a real harbinger of alternative hip-hop. And it's like a true mixing of jazz and hip-hop. And you're going to hear it in all these songs. And probably most importantly, this launched the career of, at the time, 19-year-old Busta Rhymes, who eventually went on to a career that his absolute highlight was playing a concert at St. Olaf. At St. Olaf College. Where he held out the mic for St. Olaf to sing the chorus to one of his hit songs. And it was met with absolute silence because nobody at St. Olaf listened to Busta Rhymes. To be fair, you guys are burying the lead on Busta Rhymes at St. Olaf. That is not what everyone remembers. Him coming to our school for. Everyone remembers that his rider, of what he required in his green room or whatever, required like 100 condoms. That was on the rider. That was the thing that was famous for Busta Rhymes coming to our school. I think you're burying the lead on Q-Tip, too. This album shaped the sound of so many albums after it.

[44:03]And Q-Tip eventually actually had influence on Dilla, who influenced so many things. Voodoo, which we've already heard. So, yeah, let's get into it. Let's get into it. Let's get into the album. When somebody, one of Russ's ex-girlfriends tries to break in as an excursion. Is that good? I think that's good. I feel like right away they're going straight for soul jazz, but they're going to a classic jazz artist, Art Blakey. This is Chant for Boo from Art Blakey. And so many of these samples, they're just playing the sample. They're really playing long stretches of these songs. And so if you know the songs, you can really recognize. If you don't, you might go try to find them. This song perfectly sums up the album, though, right? Yeah. Jazz to start off. He's talking about how my dad used to say it's just like bebop or hip hop. And then it's just bass, bass, bass. Yes. And they hit you with these drums.

[45:01]And we're not going to do a sample-based podcast because people have done that and done that better than us. But anytime you go to Who Sampled, and this is the first album that caused me to purchase. The Who Sampled app, because I had to have it. I had to know what was going on on these albums. And these guys were seriously digging in the crates. Some of this stuff is well-known, and some of it is so deep cuts that these guys were spending a lot of time. And I don't know. I mean, it was probably Q-Tip. I don't know exactly what Ali Shahid Muhammad's role was, but these guys were really searching for these samples. Are you saying in the last week you bought the Who Sampled app? Yeah, for this album. It's only five bucks. But I was like, I had to. I had to know. Or four bucks, maybe. Oh, Matt's furious. Did you see Matt's face when you said you paid for an app? He's so mad. Sucker. I had to do it. It's way better. No, it's way better. If you look at it on the web, you got all these ads, man. You should pay $4, and it's right there. I'm going to get that, too. I'm going to go on Seamless here, and I'm going to write in app sampler.

[46:00]And I'm going to push purchase. Oh, yeah. They're very good. It's just what I wanted. Mozzarella stick. Did you guys ever want big subwoofers in your car? Yes, I did. I wanted that so bad growing up. Did Dave, you have it? No. No, I tried to get some speakers in my little truck one time. Didn't quite. I mean, it worked for a while. There's a lot that goes into that. I had a couple of buddies that had some, I don't know, looking back at them now, they weren't great systems. But at the time, I mean, it was better than anything you had. And so there was nothing better than just mind shaking bass, and you couldn't understand anything else. And you're literally just rocking your head. And so, no, it's a thing. I don't know if I could do it now. But it's a cool. It was cool. Oh, Matt, doing it now would be so great. Eddie, Leo, get in the car. It's 715. I would love to have it. It'd be one of those. You hear those guys where when you close the doors in the car, the air pressure changes because the subs are. Yeah, that's what I wanted. But I never did. I didn't ever have amazing speakers in my car, but my first car did have a car phone

[47:00]like in between the two seats. That's pretty rad. It had a car phone like Gordon Gekko style. My mom never activated those. So I could never use it. But yeah, there was a car phone Gordon Gekko style in the car. I always wanted huge speakers in my car until I met other guys that had huge speakers in the car. And I was like, oh, I don't want to be like you at all. This is a disaster. But my friend did have a friend who had like a competition based car. Like he would bring it to competitions. No license plate. No nothing that would rattle. It was totally like together. And you would get in this car and he would play like. And you would like feel the breath go out of your body. You would be breathing. I mean, based on the base on the car, it was unbelievable. In fact, it made me want to start bugging out. Love it. I think it's interesting that the first track is basically it's a Q-tip solo track, right? There's no Fife on it. And then Fife comes in on this one. And there's another track that's maybe all Fife. But I think they have such a good interplay together that the tracks within the two of them together.

[48:04]I really. But this is kind of Fife's coming out party, though, too, right? Like he wasn't he was kind of just hanging around early. Late. I don't know the history, man. Tell us about it. Yeah, I don't know too much about it. I just know that this is kind of where Fife dog kind of came out and said, you know, Q-tip was pushing him to be more out front. I think Q-tip got sick. It kind of I think he wanted to have more of a collaborative group kind of a thing like he saw. God, there's a couple other groups. Big Daddy Kane was with some groups. Busta Rhymes. Yeah. De La Soul and all that. You know, I think the Busta Rhymes was with leaders of the new school. Yeah. Yep. You know, all of those groups had. Kind of a vibe to them. And, you know, as they weren't solo artists, they all became solo artists later. But I think at the time it was much more. I don't know if it was much more advantageous to kind of have the the crew, if you will, particularly live concerts and stuff like that, because you couldn't just be up on your own the whole time.

[49:01]And so I think Q-tip was trying to find his buddies to come be part of it. So I don't know. You guys mentioned De La Soul there. They get shouted out a few times on this album. You know who else? Gets shouted out on this song, Buggin' Out. Arsenio! Yeah. Fife is out on a bunch on Arsenio all the time. They call him out a few times. Not to spoiler alert, but he's going to come up at least two more times on this album. This is such a 90s album, is it not? It's of a time for sure, right? Yeah. Arsenio comes up a lot. Is Arsenio Hall the most 90s thing you can think of? Yes. Like, it's such a spot in time of. Like, anything big I remember. Bill Clinton on the sax, right? Like, Magic Johnson talking about HIV. Like, all that stuff happened on Arsenio Hall. It was like, it was such a touchstone. Finger on the pulse, yeah. Ooh, a touchstone. I like that word, Rob. Nice. Yeah, and then I ended up with saying, it's crazy, which is what a dumb guy says to end a sentence.

[50:02]It's so, I'm so dumb. Can you explain to me, can you explain to me, is Fife Dog still big? Am I just too dumb? He's dead. Like, what's going on now with Fife Dog? Why is Q-tip such a big deal? He passed away. Oh, no. Yeah. What happened? When did he pass away? Not that long ago. 2016? 2016? No, I think, yeah, honestly, I think he might have had kidney disease or something. So then in one of these weeks. Yeah, when he's like, I drink so much soda. Geez, Aaron, we got to have to do this again. Aaron's always got to bring this stuff up and drag us down. No, I'm serious, man. Like, listen, when he says, I drink so much soda, they call me Dr. Pepper. I was like, that shit is sad, man. Like, he obviously, like, it's all tied up in the history of health problems for African-American people and the things that we've done wrong. Yeah, we're not, we're not going down that road. But yeah, Rob, thanks for bringing that up. But that's part of where this title for this album. Well, yeah, this shows how much research I've done. You guys are like, you talk too much. And then I did my three sentences. You're like, you dumb shit. You didn't touch on anything. What do you guys want from me? I am dumb. I keep saying that to you. I don't know how many more times I can say that to you. I am a dumb guy who looks smart. Go to the next song. And I just did a smart pose, by the way.

[51:01]Rap promoter. Chicken and orange juice. This is on my rider. Ooh, don't forget my pastry. Make sure they're tasty. I mean, there's just lyric upon lyric throughout this whole album. It's great. And you can hear them. You can understand them. And I think it kind of goes to this, what do we call it? Alternative rap. But I think there was this big push. And I think this was so popular because it wasn't gangster rap, right? Like everybody knew Eazy-E. Everybody knew NWA. I mean, there wasn't, there was a lot of quote unquote gangster rap or kind of even just inner city rap as opposed to this was very very. Conscious, very, you know, it talked about more things than just, you know, living hard life kind of a thing. And so I think that's what made it a little more popular. It's kind of spread out into the, that wasn't just inner city. New York is in the boroughs. I was outside in the suburbs a little bit more. Does that sound?

[52:00]Which did you guys listen to more as a kid? Did you listen to a tribe called quest as a kid or not? I didn't. Nope. No, I didn't either. No scenario was the only one electric relaxation off of midnight marauders. I know that one really well, but yeah, I didn't. A lot. And now this is the stuff that I would put on. This is like a desert Island album for me. Like I'd take this with me anywhere. Yeah. It's a pretty great album. I mean, I, and I think if you were going to expose somebody like a child to hip hop, this would be a great album to start with. I mean, it's got all the touch. It's got all the touchstone. Now he's just going back to it. What up? That's crazy. Am I using that right? That's crazy that you're doing that. You're just using. But that's a good point, Rob. Like I didn't think about it. Like if you're going to introduce, let's say somebody younger, than 13, like hip hop, right? Like you're going to put on the chronic or you're going to put on this kind of thing. Right. And so, yeah, this, so all day, there's a couple of things where you can tell it's dated, but I think, and it turns out that if you play, if you play scenario, for example, for, let's say, I don't know, maybe a middle school class to start your class.

[53:01]And then one of the first songs is about how they're going to come in your eye. You know, maybe that's in there too. And you forgot that that's in there. And you just play that and you hope none of the kids. Let me know where I'm coming from. But I will say that song rap promoter is all about how he got, he's, you know, they're constantly getting ripped off by club promoters and stuff like that. But he mentions that on his rider is or either potatoes or Ida bag potatoes are so good. Aaron, are you fucking with or Ida bag potatoes, like the crinkle cut or the waffle cut fries? Or is that just me? I literally, I bet I have, I bet I have that three times a week. I've not had them for a long time, but I recently read a recipe for roasted potatoes that call for Del Monte canned potatoes. And now I'm on the lookout for canned potatoes. Cause I got to find potatoes. They're supposed to be fantastic. Roast them up with some Rosemary. I've read this on the internet recently. That's, that's my next can't get to this fast culinary. So I guess my question was, do you guys have any foods that you buy that you're kind of embarrassed

[54:00]that you would buy those foods? Like for me, I'll just tell you right now, here's an example. The only cheese that I buy for the house is craft singles in the plastic because it tastes good enough and it doesn't go bad. And the other time we buy cheese, you tip it out. It's moldy. Don't need that. I know Aaron's disgusted by that. I love craft singles. Perfect. And a grilled cheese. And guess what? Also. Okay. And a tortilla with some taco meat on top. Not a big deal. Everybody loves it. I think craft singles are a feat of engineering, Rob. I'm with you, man. They're like, they're an amazing thing. Like they're, they're, they're legitimately like an incredible invention. Is this a shot? I can't believe I can't, I can't believe that Aaron agrees with me. Yeah, I totally agree. I'm with that. Okay. Okay. Tough guy. You got craft singles in your house right now. I don't right now, but I think they're, yeah, big talk, big talk. Get off the fucking craft singles train. I'm driving this. It is a feat of engineering and I'm the engineer. And guess what? You're off the caboos. Goodbye. Air in or air out. I have an impromptu air in or air out. All right, let's hear it. In the last 10 years, has Aaron ever purchased pre-shredded cheese or does he shred his own off the block?

[55:00]Has he ever purchased a bag of shredded cheese? All right. So I got to think about this. Does Aaron shred his own cheese? Does he shred his own cheese or does he shred his own cheese? Has he ever owned to purchase the bag of Ziploc shredded cheese? I'm going to say he has purchased it, but I'm going to say he prefers to buy the block and shred it because he saves like 50 cents or whatever you save. He likes to do that. And I would guess he's got one of those big square shredders. So it's actually. Do you think he makes his wife and kid watch him while he shreds it like he does when he puts up the swing set outside? Oh yeah. Yeah. He gets the shredded cheese and then he forgets the shredder and he has to go back to the kitchen. Matt, what do you think? Jinx. The right answer is he has bought shredded cheese, but the right answer is if you have a block of cheese, it is so much better to actually shred the cheese and put it on. So if you have the ability to do it, if you have the ability to do it, you absolutely shred your own cheese. You buy the block, shred your own cheese.

[56:00]It's great, but he has bought a bag of shredded cheese in the last 10 years. This is why this weekend when I gave Matt some shredded cheese on a tortilla, he said to fuck off because I got it out of the bag. And so I didn't think that was a good guess, but whatever. Aaron, do you shred your own cheese by the block? Matt is 100% right on the daily. We, we buy blocks of cheese and slice them for their useful for their, for whichever use you need them. So on the daily, we buy the blocks, but I have indeed purchased pre-sliced pre-shredded cheese, multiple occasions in the last 10 years when I'm making lasagna for the family who are visiting. So Matt is 100% correct. Omelets. There's nothing better. Than shredding your own cheese, putting it on. Oh yeah. You got to shred it yourself. You buy the block, you shred it yourself. How about instead of shredding your cheese, you take the plastic off and then you put it on top of your omelet. And then you got to wait a while to melt. Cause it does have a plasticky like quality. Look at the ingredient list on shredded cheese. It's like cheese plus a bunch of other shit. Like it would not surprise list on a block of cheese is like cultured milk

[57:03]enzymes and rent it. Like there's a difference. It would not surprise me. You know, that Dr. Dre video where he opens, opens up the fridge and it's just forties. It would not surprise me if you opened up Russell's fridge and it was just all craft singles. That's what it takes up. And forties. And forties. I haven't taken a dump in three years. I'm so backed up. This, the shredding, the own cheese would violate Russ food. Rule number one, of course, is if it takes longer to make it than to eat it, it's out. So shredding my own cheese is a no go. Russ's oven is where he stores all his paper, important paperwork. Yeah. This takes a lot. All right. I'm telling you guys, or I had a potatoes. If you're not fucking with the waffle cut or I had a potatoes. So good. New would taste good on top. Probably butter. Ooh, 1988. We get some horns on this one. This is where I don't know what's in the background of this one. Rosie, maybe you've got it, but I didn't get to the refrain.

[58:01]It's good. No, I didn't look at the sample on this one. Cause I didn't want to, I didn't want to make the entire show about what are the samples. Cause people have done that. Aaron goes to Costco and only, like some of the samples. I've never been to Costco. I, this is the one track to me. That's like a little bit, right. It's like a little bit misogynist this one. And then obviously the upcoming, uh, the infamous, you know, this is the one where I just feel like five's a little over the top with the, he's like trying to do some slut shaming. That's like, it's just, this is like puts it in. It's, you know, 1991, uh, Rob you're, you're a New York guy. So tribe called quest. They're, uh, Queens. They're from Queens, right? Is that correct, Rob? Yep. So in honor of that, I went back to our favorite book who's in vinyl and they've got low end theory in the book. And so they suggest on side a, this album, you do a Queens cocktail, which is a gin, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and pineapple juice. So I'm doing a Queens cocktail in honor of a tribe called quest.

[59:01]That sounds Russ's bar grows larger and larger every episode. He's now got dry and sweet vermouth. Well, I only buy one type of vermouth because it would take too long to pour two types of vermouth in there. So it would violate rule. Number one. So there's only, I don't know what kind of vermouth it is, but not two kinds. Russell drinks, his drinks faster than he pours them. I might be, we might need to have a Dutchess cocktail than a Queens cocktail, but you're getting there. Aaron is called Russ out of his book. Aaron's on fire today. I love it. Versus from the abstract. So much anger over that whole, uh, in effect, swing set mishap. I do feel like this album picks up majorly toward the end. Agree. The second half is really good. So this one, they actually had a guy named Ron Carter on base from the miles Davis quintet, his second quintet. And he does mention, I'm pretty sure he was part of the third quintet. Aaron, are you sure? He's the second quintet with Herbie Hancock and Wayne shorter, right?

[60:00]It's John Hancock. John. I got to ask you guys, do you know, I enjoy a lot of this album. Do you think it's a little monotone? It's just kind of like that. Same drum beat over and over. Maybe you guys have enough. Oh, what did you listen to? Yeah. What did you listen to it? I've done it different ways. I did. I've done earbuds and I've also done, um, the beats by Dre headphones. So I've done it both ways, but it just, it felt a little bit, um, consistent from song to song of it. All the songs sounded very similar to me. I would agree with that. Clamps by Russell. That's a great name for those nipple clamps. Russell. Thank you, Russell. You're, you're jumping the gun. My, um, final rating, but I, I do, I'm not sure if this is better than a midnight marauders, which is their album that came next. And I think the drums are more varied on midnight marauders. Cause you start to get to a little bit more of that syncopation, a little bit more of that Dilla sound behind the beat kind of thing. And this does sound like a lot of the drums are similar loops.

[61:01]Yeah. Midnight marauders on the list. And I think if it had been before it would certainly be, I think they just, I think the way the list is crafted, you know, because it came out in 1991, that's why it's higher up there kind of thing. But I agree with you that, you know, it's much, uh, they spread their wings much more on midnight marauders and get a little bit more, uh, sample-y if you will, not so monotone. So, but I agree with you. Listen to this verse, listen to this lyric from the song real quick. All right. So you notice there that he said very quickly, and I definitely jumped to it right away. He's got a fetish for some booty. Okay. Now, first of all, that comes up multiple times in traps, right? a perfect lyric. He indeed has a fetish. He's like, I have a fetish for the booty. What do you guys think would be the best fetish to have? Like if you could pick, and I'm not fetish shaming here. Like if we'd all know Aaron with the feet or whatever, uh, and we know Russ with them, with the Russ clamps by Russell, but what would your, what would be the fetish?

[62:00]If you could pick to have a fetish. And what I mean by that is you see it and you just get turned on like crazy. What would be the best fetish to have? I got to go with a foot fetish. I think that'd be awesome. You just go to the beach. You're looking at these feet. They go, they got those little toes like skittles and you just want to suck on them. It's too easy to get caught. Rob staring at some chick's feet at the beach. It's just too easy. Coming from personal experience. No, no. Have you ever heard of mirrored sunglasses? Hello? That is a summertime staple for Rob at the pool. Let's get on the therapeutic diving port of love and talk about these fetishes. Cause Roosevelt Island has a pool and Roosevelt Island is one of these places that a lot of people that work at the UN live there. So when I go to the pool in Roosevelt Island, I see a lot of European swimsuits. If you know what I mean, okay. So I see some swimsuits where I need those mirror glasses because I'm with kids. I can't let the kids see that I have a booty fetish as well. Okay. Now do I also see a lot of speedos? Yes. But guess what? It's a trade-off I'm willing to make. Those guys got beautiful bodies, man. I can't even lie about it. What would be a fetish you'd want? Russell, you want to answer this question real bad.

[63:00]You're raising your hand. You're giving me a big thumbs up. I just can't stop thinking about the whole fanny pack thing. Like maybe I could make that like a new thing. Like you, you go in and you're just rocking just nothing but the fanny pack. I think that's, do you think a fetish is something you do? No, no, I don't, I don't have a good answer. I'm fucking, because I was going to say, if your fetish is women wearing fanny packs, that would be great. I would love to see Russell seeing somebody walk by and be like, Ooh, yeah, look at that. To be fair, Rob talked about this fetish and said, don't bring up feet. And then he immediately said his would be a foot fetish. It'd be easy. My fetish right now is a naked person who's attracted to me. Do you know how hard of a fetish that is to pull off? That's the one of the most impossible fetishes of all time. I know how hard it is to pull off. We don't need to bring that up again and again, right? Maybe, maybe my fetish should be people who aren't attracted to me. Ooh, yeah, that would be really easy to do. I could do that. No problem. Just over and over being body shamed by, by everyone. Yeah. Oh, that tray table is just going up and up and up. Matt, what's your, what would be your fetish? Well, you, you brought up what would be a good fetish,

[64:01]right? Like now what's my fetish. And I, I keep coming back to what a good fetish should be. Something where I don't want to know what your actual fetish is. Yeah. Right. Good. I'm glad. Okay. It would be something that you can't, it's like, you have to be like, you're into the eyes or something like that, where it's like something that you're not creepy looking at feet at the beach all the time or something like that. I think so. I don't know. You were just, you were just, you're just staying in your lane as well as you possibly can, man. That is so fucked. If you think a woman would rather have you staring at her eyes than her feet. If you went up to someone and you were just like, okay, I'm going to close up on the zoom. You think that's better? Me being like, Oh, look at those little piggies. Just want to suck on them. Like that's, way weirder looking at somebody's eyes. My fetish is their eyes. And if you said to a woman like, Oh, my fetish is your eyes. They'd be like, Oh my God, I got to get out of here. Open the door, jump out guys. Speaking of getting busy, show busyness, show business, show busyness. Oh, this is bad-ass. This scene went a little more up-tempo to me.

[65:00]I liked the songs that were a little quicker than some of the slower ones. Yeah. So this is a verse by Lord Jamal. And I read, um, definitely not, not on genius.com that this was the first and Aaron, don't laugh at this. This is the first posse cut on this album. So Aaron, can you explain to me what a posse cut is? Yeah. It's when you're, if it's when you're typically, uh, bringing together members of, uh, different rap crews and your, or even your same, your, your same rap crew, like Wu Tang, a lot of the Wu Tang album was posse cuts where you're just doing trading off. You know, everybody's got one verse. Everybody's thrown in their own verse. That's a, that's a posse cut. Like actually a lot of the back half of the chronic was posse cuts too. I think. I like that. I think that would be a gang. I'd start called the posse cuts. That'd be awesome. That song is kind of interesting. They originally recorded that song as a song called Georgie Porgy, which was about a kid growing up in the hood as a homosexual or as, as being gay. I was told I can't say homosexual anymore, that that's bad to say. Now I'm,

[66:00]I'm trying to stay on top of it. Yeah. That's my, when I said that once in front of a, in front of a queer friend of mine and she laughed and laughed and said, what are you, a doctor homosexual? And I was like, I don't know. I feel like I'm doing the right thing. But yes, I am a doctor. Show me those toes. But, but then they said that label basically said, no, we can't release a song like this. It's going to be too heavy. And one of the guys who wrote that is not on the song because he said, if we're not going to talk about that, then I'm not going to do it. So it was this thing with like, they were trying to be a little bit more progressive, but the actual record label was like, no, that's too much. Like you can talk about all that other stuff, but not that. I, I just thought that was kind of interesting vibes. And, uh, let's see. Oh, wait, no, this is, I'm sorry. I was looking at an Amazon order. I've coming in vibes and stuff. You've got coming in. Now this one I know is off a grant. Happy mother's day. We have, we have to call it out. This song is the second reference to our city.

[67:02]Yes. Two, two references on side. And over there is my dog pound. It's also, it's called vibes and such because that noise you hear in the background is called a vibraphone. Right. Okay. And we know that we don't want our phones to ring. So we always have it set to vibraphone. Yeah. And when I looked up this sample, it's off a grant green album, but the vibraphone player, I've already forgotten his name. It's not any of the well-known vibraphone players. They were really digging deep on this stuff. They were, they didn't have any of the well-known vibraphone players. Aaron, you gotta be kidding me. They didn't want to pay him too much. They didn't want to pay him. Viber phone. Jones was like, come on, man. It's me. Viber phone Jones. I'm the best known vibraphone player. I was thinking like Bobby Hutcherson, but I don't know. Maybe I might be saying that. Oh yeah. Be hot. The wrong guy. Yeah. I was thinking vibraphone Jones. We'll skip it. Let's go to check the rhyme. This verse by fight though. So strong.

[68:00]Yep. He's got charisma. I read that. This is really kind of a celebrated hip hop song for something called call and response. Grime site for where it's back to back and forth. Ooh, like run DMC. Yeah. So that, that was pretty cool, but I try to do this on here, but you guys never respond. I do a lot of call. There's no response, but there's actually another song that you guys have to hear that has a little call and response with five dog. This is Shaq. Where are you at? From Shaq? Diesel. Five dog was on that album with Shaq. And honestly, this is embarrassing. I knew five dog from the Shaq album. Not from. Oh my God. Ah, that's amazing. That's so good. Oh, my nuts taste. This is it. That's all I got on this weekend. Oh, no, these lyrics are so good. Matt, can you look up where Shaq is on the list? He's a pretty good rapper. Fast forward a little bit, Robin. See, let's let Aaron judge Shaq's rapping skills. Wait, what about Matt? Matt knows rap.

[69:00]Matt, you got to fast forward. I honestly fast forward. I really did. Basketball player. Who was the guy from the, any basketball player. Oh, you got rap album out is not good. And any rapper who wants to play basketball is not good at basketball. Every rapper, every rapper wants to be an NBA player. And NBA, every NBA player wants to be, and this is very generalization. So we'll go with all, you know, there's football players there. Everybody wants to be in the music game, not rapper, but like in the music game. And every, everybody in the music game wants to be an athlete. And so that's like every guy who has a foot fetish really wants to have an eye fetish. And every guy who has an eye fetish really wants to have a foot. Yeah, that, that tracks. I did the close up look on the zoom again. All right. Everything fair is fair. This is one of the only songs that involves drugs. On this whole album, which is pretty wild. Very little drug rap. Wish I met her sooner.

[70:00]Instead I met her later. God, he's got great lyrics. Put me on a roster. To rid her of impostors. And to sell the Buddha for the sexy. I may have to play my opening song again. So you guys can hear what that sounds like. Cause that was also very good. It's also got bars. But these, these are albums are so hard for me to make the opening songs for. Jazz. We've got. We've got the jazz. Starring Rudy Gobert. That's a good joke. They're playing right now I think. Who's that? Who's the musician here, Rosie? Competition. Oh, you know what? That's Matt. I'm really glad you asked because I think that our, our listeners are probably wondering if there's going to be a list on this episode. There are no listeners now. Still. We've waited this long to drop a list on this episode. And I, I heard this song and I looked up the sample and it inspired me to make a list. So. All right. Jimmy, Jimmy McGriff. Jimmy McGriff had me calling out for a list somewhere. We were getting there. We were getting there. We were going, going, get going things. So we'll just keep talking over the things.

[71:00]But Rosie, I didn't drop that. I didn't drop that. I, I really didn't know. I really wanted to know. So this is very interesting that you actually have a list for this. All right. What is the list, Aaron? Aaron, what's the list here? So the sample on this song, you heard the, you heard the Soprano saxophone there. That is Jimmy McGriff and the Jimmy McGriff quintet. And it's Lucky Thompson on the Soprano sax live from the Cook County jail. And I think Rob, you might have this, the source material queued up. So if you want to play that real quick, in about three seconds, you're gonna hear the Soprano sax. You got the Jimmy McGriff on the organ. All right. So this is a live concert from the Cook County jail, which is in Illinois. And it turns out there's a lot of great music recorded in prisons in some way or another. Oh, I love it. I love this. So we're doing a prison music list right now. Yes. Yes. So, Hey,

[72:00]what earlier when I didn't want to talk about my fetish, here we go. Cage prison girls in heat, listening to jazz. So when I saw it, when I looked up the sample, I immediately thought I got to do a prison music list because it's going to bring up some of our favorites. It's going to let me talk about some interesting things. It turns out there's another, uh, American music. Great. Who has performed at the Cook County jail. And that is BB King. So this is BB King. How blue can you get live from the Cook County jail in 1971? Amazing. You just see Rob and Jimmy McGriff on the Soprano sax live from the Cook County jail in 1971. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. You know, when he hears Russell like holding up a gas station outside, he hears it going down. And he's like, yeah, give me all your money. You don't even have a gun. He's like, let me in. I want to hear this concert. So we're starting with BB King's solo to start the song. How blue can you get? So we got to hear a little bit of this guitar, cause it's, it's as good as it gets. We should put all these albums into a box set of like a jail house rock box set. No doubt there's something about hearing these guys cheer in the background.

[73:00]We just get like, yeah, it gets you amped. Right. And then, Rob, if you want to play the next sample, we just got to hear B.B. King's voice. And the whole crowd going nuts. His voice is so good, he should be B.B. Plus King. Right. So then, obviously, if we're going to play prison songs, songs recorded in a prison, we got to play one of my favorites. I know one of Russell's favorites, Johnny Cash doing Folsom Prison Blues live from Folsom Prison. This is an all-timer. This is on my top probably five to ten song list ever. It was a Rob favorite in college at karaoke. One of the reasons I fell in love with the song is Rob was so good at doing it at the bar. I'm going to start out with a little pad or a couple jokes.

[74:02]And this is another one. You can just hear the inmates getting into it. To be clear, though, it's no Portishead. It's no Portishead. Fuck, what a bunch of bullshit. This is badass. I will. We've talked about it before, but on that Johnny Cash album, there is a section where they are calling out prisoners who have people visiting them during the concert. And Russell and I have said to each other a number of times, if that was us, I'd be like, hey, mom, go fuck yourself because I'm watching a Johnny Cash concert. This freaking rules. I am not coming out to visit you. Forget about it. So in the 50 years after Johnny Cash performed at Folsom Prison, there were no other artists who were granted a permit to perform in Folsom Prison until, I believe, 2018, when Los Tigres del Norte, and my Spanish is terrible, a Norteño band received a permit to perform in Folsom Prison, and they did, and they did their own version in Spanish

[75:02]of the Folsom Prison blues. So let's hear Los Tigres del Norte doing La Prision del Folsom. There's a little bit of a lead in here. You gotta hear it, though. This kicks ass, Aaron. This song is so good. It's so good. Oh, yes. This is an Aaron List like I've never heard before in my life. Is that an accordion? Yeah. There's an accordion, there's tuba on here. There's a Netflix documentary about this concert, which I haven't watched yet, but all the videos on YouTube are incredible. They'll make you cry, all the tears. It's so good. Hey, you combine my prison music fetish with my accordion fetish, and it's just getting real over here right now. So keep it in, Cal. California. Obviously, San Quentin is a famous prison, and we know that Johnny Cash recorded an album there.

[76:02]But what I didn't know until I did a little bit of research is that Frank Sinatra once performed at San Quentin, and this didn't make it to an album. But when he was asked to perform at San Quentin, he said, yeah, sure, I'll do that. And he brought the entire Count Basie Orchestra and played for the inmates at San Quentin. So this is Frank Sinatra doing Fly Me to the Moon for San Quentin. Fly hard with song. Oh, sweet. Went ahead and brought the entire orchestra. Like, sure, I can do a performance and bring everybody. He should have probably brought a guy with a microphone. You know what I mean? Like, instead of a wax cylinder, whenever they recorded this on, they maybe should have thought of, I don't know. I think this is from 1966. And if you do look this up on YouTube, there's some great voiceover from Walter Cronkite, which is also just worth listening to as a sort of historical time capsule thing. And then the last song, I went ahead and switched it. The other songs leading up to this

[77:00]were songs recorded by people who were not locked up, who were performing for inmates. But here I've got a song from an inmate. This is Draco the Ruler, who was locked up for two full years while he was waiting trial on a murder charge, for which he was eventually acquitted. And he's one of the new West Coast stylists in rap. So this is Draco the Ruler. He recorded all of his verses for this album over the phone from prison. The album, the album is called Thank You for Using GTL, which is the prison telecom company. And this song is called Social Media Can't Help You. His microphone sounds better than Russell's. That's Draco the Ruler recording from prison over the phone while he was locked up. What a list, Aaron.

[78:01]So that's it. That's what I got. Those are prison songs inspired by the sample on Jazz We've Got. That's a great connection. I love it. I can tell you, if you want to go into my true fetish, which is bodybuilding women, social media can help you. Because if you look at my Instagram search, if you click on that little magnifying glass of Instagram search, it's just people playing Madden video games and then the biggest, buffest women that you've ever seen in your entire life. And I love it. So good try to try to do something without me talking about it. Okay, that didn't make sense what I just said. Sorry. All right, Sky Pager. This is so 90s, isn't it? A song about how much you need a pager. But my mom had a pager. She did play this song all the time. And the Duracell batteries last only three weeks because he won't put it on pause or whatever. It's so good. Yeah. For this, I was looking up some pager codes just to let you guys know. Okay. 07734. That's hello.

[79:00]Because if you read it upside down, it spells out hello. Oh, nice. Right? 143 is I love you. 911 is call me right away. 477 is best friends forever. 6969 is Russell's calling you. You just get a bunch of blanks. That's Matt talking to you on the phone. And then there's 14337, which if you look at it, kind of looks like the word feet. And that's Aaron. He wants you to text him pictures of your feet. And I cannot tell you how many times I look at numbers to try to combine them. Yeah, 4337, 911. I tried to look at so many numbers to make feet. I was like, okay, if you do a one, and a three, that kind of looks like a butt, but that's not really like what we're, I'm talking about feet. So there's a lot of me doing numbers today. So I'm a, I'm 41 years old. All right. What? I couldn't believe this was the hit song off this album. This is a great song. This is phenomenal. It's also the third reference to Arsenio. At some point,

[80:00]there has to be a producer on this album that says, hey, we've covered Arsenio twice. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. We don't need it. No way. What's a better way to get on the Arsenio Hall show than keep talking about Arsenio Hall? There's a very famous Bob Dylan song for us. It's all right, ma, where he basically reminds me of this song, you know, basically has a million lyrics, a huge long song, and just makes all sorts of awesome points. And it just reminded me of this song. And that's why I said, this song is better than anything Dylan wrote or on target with anything Dylan wrote. Like, when you really dive into the lyrics, it's just genius. So if anybody's bored, go out and look at the lyrics or listen to that whole song. What? Because it's great. It's just one metaphor after another, right? All right. Now we have Scenario, the last song on the album. This end of this album is so good. I mean, this is the song I absolutely remember from this album. This is the one where I watched the video and it was like, this thing is snapping. Like, this is a whole different genre of music

[81:01]than I've ever seen in my life. I was telling Matt about this before you guys came on, but the video is so great. It reminded me of that Aerosmith video where it started as a computer screen and everybody's like, 1991, this video is a computer? Like, this rules. But the video had Spike Lee in it, De La Soul, Brand Nubian, Fab Five Freddy, and Redman. So it had all these cameos. Luminaries. Okay. And then, and by the way, you can get all those guys on cameo for under $25 now. But it also featured a 19-year-old. So picture what you're doing at 19 years old. Here is Busta Rhymes. Listen to this. I mean, that's what a star sounds like. So this is clearly, at least from my perspective, the biggest hit, right? The one that's by far the most known song. Do you guys remember many albums where the big hit was the last song on the album? Matt, what do you think of it? You're the construction guy. Should this have been earlier?

[82:00]Purple Rain. The lead song or not? Should it have been? No. I mean, no, but I mean, the construction, if you go back to just, Rob, go, this is the low-end theory. Go to the first song one more time real quick. All right, let's start over. This song is called Excursions. Let's get into the album. But again, the low-end theory, the whole thing was to get as much bass as you can out. And so this song set the table big time if you listen to it in your Beats by Dre. And then you got Q-Tip going. And then you end with a scenario where you got everybody going. So again, it's probably up there in one of the top bookends. So we called it. I'm too late on this, but when we talk about the engineering and the construction, we should have talked about Bob Power a long time ago because Bob Power was the engineer on this album and on Midnight Marauders. Sorry, you're too late to talk about it. Move on. When Matt said, maybe on the third track, when Matt was like, you can hear their lyrics, part of that is because they really cared about how this music sounded.

[83:00]And as Rob knows, the best albums are the ones that sound the best. And Q-Tip, Ali Shahid Mohamed, Bob Power, they all got in the studio, as far as I understand, and they wanted this thing to sound good. And they had an idea for how they wanted it to sound and they pulled it off. And so the best albums over and over again are the ones where someone gave a shit how they sounded except for Exile. And they paid attention to the sounds. And so props to these guys for making this happen. And once again, we find Rolling Stone top 500 albums. Pretty good. They all sound good. Pretty good albums. It's mind-blowing. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. I think it's fetish as air raid sirens. He loves the spring. Got a little movement there. Every time you play it. I don't like that. All right. This is our rating system. And listen, we're going long.

[84:00]So I'm just going to say it real quick. Is this a rolling well tone? That means this should be at 43. It's the perfect spot for low end theory. Is this a rolling boned? It should have been way higher than 43. We made a huge mistake by not putting it up there. It turns out, Rolling Stone, you done goofed. Okay. Or is this a rolling groan? Okay. This album is no good. It, the other album, whatever you guys were talking about is better. It should be ahead of this one. This one stop. Don't like it. Other album, move it up. And in this case, it wouldn't be 43. It would be later in the list, which of course, because we're reading the list from one to 500 and a reminder, we are at 43. So this is only 10%. Can you imagine when we're at album 500? I'm still doing this bit 10 years later. And everybody's still like, Oh, don't make me imagine that. This bit was almost funny the first time. And the 500th time came right back around. I loved it. Rob, we're at 42 times in the bid is the bid is playing how it's been played outside to know. But do you understand it's rolling well toned? If it's perfectly balanced,

[85:00]it's a rolling groan. If you didn't like it and it's a rolling bone, if you liked it. Okay. It's that simple. Matt, what do you think of this album? I liked it a lot. I think it's rolling well toned. I am questioning whether it should be rated. Higher than Wu Tang's enter the wound, enter the Wu Tang, uh, 36 chambers. I'm questioning whether it should be. I don't think so, but I, I would, I think I'd listen to this album more than that album. Um, in the future chronic. Oh, definitely better than the chronic way. Well, yeah. So again, maybe for that reason, but like 43 feels like a good is a great spot for it. You know, top 50, uh, huge band, great Q tips, a genius, all that stuff. So I think it's rolling well toned. All right. Aaron, what do you think of this album? Like I said, I think it's a desert Island album for me. Every time I listened to it, I hear something different. You can put it on in your headphones and give it 100%

[86:00]means it's perfect. Or you can put it on. You were trying to run. I know you're trying not to do it. You can put it on in the living room and just vibe out and enjoy it. Um, I still don't know. I can't decide if this is a better, I think midnight marauders might be better. I can't decide if this is the best tribe album, but I will say tribe in general should have been higher than the chronic specifically. I mean, Dre said with a producer who can wrap control the Mike's role and he wouldn't, didn't write his own raps and Q-tip is pretty close to the producer that Dre is maybe better. So I got to say this sounds better than the chronic. So I'm going to say tribe in general is rolling boned. I don't know what I would say about this album, but I'm going to say rolling, rolling boned. So Aaron's main point is, the main point of this album is that you can listen to it in a lot of places. Wow. I want to say, I'm so glad you're on the podcast with us, Aaron. That, you know what? That was mean. That was, I feel mean. I feel this late in the podcast being mean to you is just being mean to be mean because nobody's listening to this.

[87:00]It's just me being mean to make myself feel better about all the dumb shit I've said. Rob and Matt already like went to hula hands. Oh, that's close. They already went to champs to hang out for the postgame beer. And it's just you and me, Rob. It's a waffle fries. Russell, what do you think of this album? Yeah. That's why the, or Ida ones are good. That's what I'm telling you. I, like I said, I never really listened to a tribe called quest when I was younger. To me, I was probably more into gangstrap, whether it be biggie or whether it be Dr. Dre or Tupac or whoever. I enjoyed the album, but I will say when I listened to it a few more times over to me, it felt very repetitive. I know Aaron says you can always pick out different things. I don't have the same ear for music that Aaron has, but to me, the drum beat felt very repetitive from song to song. I would never take this over Dr. Dre, the chronic. I would take the chronic every day over this. So I'm going to say I really liked it, but I'm going to say, I'm going to give it a little bit of a rolling groan. It's too repetitive for me. Fair. This album gets a rolling bass tone. Guys crank up the base. This is a great album to just test out those speakers.

[88:01]I don't own a car right now, but I am definitely going to go rent a car, buy a speaker, put it in. It sounds like a great plan to me. I think that's good. You know, these bass tones, like Aaron said, it really makes the girls shake their turd cutters. Oh, Aaron, I don't like that at all. That is too much for me. Next time we got an album that was recorded one year after this album, we have not. What, what did you say? No, let's let's just go all night. What'd you say? Produced a track on Illmatic. I was like joining in. I wanted to be part of the podcast. I'm going to say it again. And I think I've said this before. You can't just join in when somebody's talking because when people hear that over the podcast, they, well, they don't hear it because I edited it out. I edit your ass out every time. But when, when you're like, nobody hears it, both of us. So that's why I paused here. Cause what you said was so important. All right. So now that we all hate each other and it turns out this is actually the album 44 or whatever. This is all fucked. Whatever.

[89:00]Have a good day. Everybody see it. Have a good day. And then I say, have a good day. Have a good day. Have a good day. What is my things are going well. Things are going well. When you want to hear about the greatest. Unlike this album, the podcast did not get better. If you want to hear from guys and chat, and then they get off track. I've got the podcast. It's all right. It's true. That did it better. You know, while you guys were talking about the music, I was thinking about something else. Matt's down. I've actually changed my mind. Now that I know that Aaron's a fanny pack guy, I definitely think he could beat up a grizzly bear. If he were able to get his adjustable nipple clamps on the bears, touchstones, touchstones, touchstones, touchstones. Yes, he could do it. Well, I hate to say it, Russell. I was hoping you'd work in crafts, American slices into their singles.

[90:00]You didn't do it. So failure, you get a BB minus King. Oh, there's the final joke. Yes, I nailed it. Me, baby, me, the main host. Stop recording in case somebody else makes a joke.
