The Ramones: Ramones (1976)
[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by rolling stone magazine this resulted in text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts and we promise to do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better this is album 47 it's the confusingly titled ramones by the ramones guys this is especially a great song for tonight you know there's a hit uh hit new song that's all about recording podcasts at night do you guys want to listen to this hit new song i'd love to hear k-rob yeah uh well sometimes you don't have enough time to put the k-rob stuff on the front of it so it's just a song that's just playing randomly okay sometimes you forget that you have a podcast recorded until very quickly before we actually have to record the podcast uh but here's the song it is the hit of the summer yeah yeah yeah yeah go get it
[01:00]when we went when we when we started the show we recorded at eight or so now every time we want to start to go you know it's getting later but he still wants me to wait staying up this late it's really hard on me hard to be funny oh now it's 11 before we start the show you know it's getting late yeah so the time is greater i am getting sleepy it is time for bed but we're just getting started to the rolling going instead it's almost daylight when i finally go to bed oh oh no no i think i rhymed that twice there but when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time it's the uh truest song you've ever listened to man's gonna go to bed
[02:02]that song is dedicated to everyone on the east coast right now where it's 11 30 p.m by the time we get started and we are going to record an hour and a half show where i need to think of funny things okay so i'm going to think of something funny right now what time what what time you gotta get to work tomorrow rob but what time uh okay well yeah so i'm not working especially oh But I do, I have a meeting at 9 a.m. So I do have to get up for that. So this is going to be really stressful. But yeah, that is, this is Beck Did It Better. And listen, I've got three guys here who are in their computer seat, but they're still trying to make some steam heat. I got Matt in Minneapolis. Matt, how are you doing? Excellent, Rob. Thanks for having me as always. I got Russell in Minnesota. Russell, how are you doing? Hey guys, if my next online date goes well, I'm hoping that gum in the bird's nest will be forming a straight line and going through a tight one.
[03:00]Oh, get it, Rob, get it. I wouldn't open with that line, Russell, on the date. It's third or fourth line. I think it's fine, but I don't know about an opener for that one. And yes, Russell, I do get it. Okay, so I don't like, I do get it. Like, it's not like that was a subtle joke. Sometimes your comedic timing is a little off, but you don't really get all the jokes. Yeah, but I get, I mean, I get it. Like it's a penis and sex. Like I do get that part of the joke. And we've got Aaron out in California who wishes the song was called I Just Want to Sing. Sniff some shoes. Aaron, how are you doing? I don't know. Next time someone asks me to be on a podcast, I'll listen to my heart. And I will still be on this podcast anytime. Oh, okay. And everybody goes crazy with cheery that Aaron would stay on this podcast. So Aaron, when did you stop sniffing people's shoes without their permission? All right, so guys, let's get right into it. We've got a text from the Beck's line. A Beck's to the Beck's mail? We do have a Beck's to the Beck's line.
[04:00]And so let's listen to it right now. Please tell Aaron that when two people who don't speak the same language are talking to each other, they need an interpreter. A translator is for written word. Also, fanny packs are totally making a comeback. Guys, so Aaron, you're a dummy, okay? A translator is the writing. The interpreter is a spoken word. Now, Matt and I didn't, we talked about it after you left the podcast last time. We didn't want to make fun of you, but what a dumb remark to think that Russell needed, an interpreter when he had a translator there. Okay, but the idea of Russell on his date with a third person being like, you know, tell her her eyes look like limes or whatever would be like a good, I think that's funny. It's late. Thank God I'm married. No wonder that didn't work out. I didn't go with the limes line. I went with the other one instead. I should have gone with the limes. I am telling you, I wore my fanny pack. I've been wearing my fanny pack like crazy.
[05:00]I get tons of compliments. It's on my fanny pack guys. Fanny packs are back. Russell, you were exploring the fanny pack lifestyle. Have you taken the dive and gotten a fanny pack? And what color? I really don't want to cause any more attention to be drawn towards my middle region. I'm trying to draw attention away from that and putting a bright gold fanny pack on there is not going to help that. But you can sling it over the shoulder. If you're not, if you don't want to wear it around your, around your midsection, you can sling it over the shoulder. It works multiple ways. It goes from fanny pack to manny pack. Yeah. Matt, you, did you buy one? Matt, you were asking for advice on it. Did you get one or not? No, I've not found the right one yet. I figure. You're just looking for like gray or like beige or what are you looking for? Well, I did hear gray is normal color. Do not buy a beige fanny pack. I'm going to get a nude fanny pack. Yeah, do not do that. That would be, I mean, you don't want to draw attention to your midsection like that. Like that's the kind of attention where if a teacher sees you at the corner of their eye, they're going to call a cop and go pick up your kid on the playground with a beige fanny pack. And you're like reaching in there and grabbing stuff out.
[06:01]You're going to be like, oh my God, get this guy out of here. Matt, what are you looking for in a fanny pack? What have you not found yet? You know, these things, I like to let these things happen organically. Like I haven't needed a fanny pack in a while, but I have figured out that my seven inch shorts, they don't hold my phone very well. Like that's what we're calling it these days. Yeah. So I might. An iPhone XXL. This might be, yeah, I might need a fanny pack sooner than later because I'm not giving up my seven inch shorts. I figured that out. The iPhone. 3.5. Doesn't work in those seven inch shorts, does it? No, you can't go out in your gym shorts with all that stuff in your pockets. That's why you need the fanny pack. Exactly what I figured out. And that's what I found. And with my story today, I'm going to tell you another little function that the fanny pack could do that a lot of you probably wouldn't think of because you're adults and you don't have to deal with this problem. Oh no. And that, hey, let's just get into it. Let's talk about rolling going.
[07:04]The fanny pack came in very handy. Save my bank. Let's roll it. Go on. So I'll start because my story is good. This weekend, this last week, I was at a weightlifting competition and I did so well that at the end, once again, guess what, guys? I got to test you. I got drug tested again. So this time. That is the ultimate compliment about your lifting abilities is if they have to drug test you, right? Yes. And I was, and it is because I won my division. You're the American champion. You're the champion. Yeah, pretty much. Now, I didn't actually beat anybody. So any of you could have gotten second place. I'm calling time out. Rob invited all of us to come watch his weightlifting competition on YouTube. And then it turned out literally there was no one else competing against him. So I wondered, is no one else able to qualify or are literally you the only old big dude
[08:00]in the world that actually lifts weights? Why is there no competition? See, there were four guys in the age above me from 50 to 60 at my weight class, but nobody in my weight class. Do you have to qualify to get to nationals? Yeah, you got to have a minimum amount that you've lifted. Okay, so it's not like you could just be like, look at it like, oh, there's no competition. I could instantly be the silver medalist. Yeah, no, no. But there was somebody signed up, but they did drop out. I'm assuming it's because they saw how strong I was and definitely not because they were coming from the West Coast or having to go all the way down to Daytona Beach, which by the way, if you took a carnival and made it into a city, have you ever been at a carnival or like a county fair or something? And you're like, Jesus, this place is fucked up. These people are fucked. Have you ever been at a county fair and you're like, these people live in my county? I just do that tilt-a-whirl all day. I just hit that tilt-a-whirl all day. Russ is like on the Gravitron with his pants down. He's like, look at what it does to this. It like flattens it out. It looks like two soft-boiled eggs. He's like, what is going on? Sir, don't worry. It's a flesh-colored fanny pack.
[09:00]Don't call the cops again. Please, the cop's getting Russ in the Gravitron. He's like running on the side. But if you took a carnival and you made it into a city, into a town or a county fair, that town would be Daytona Beach, Florida. It was the weirdest place I've ever been in my entire life. At the same time, I was like, like in most places, like to wear a thong, you have to be X amount of like attractive. That was not the case in Daytona Beach. It was thong city. Like my girls walking through the hotel lobby to check in, just thong after thong of like 50-year-old women walking by. And they're like, daddy, why are you smiling so big? I was like, what? What? So were you permanent? I was wearing those mirrored sunglasses the whole time you were there. You know, I was wearing those mirrored sunglasses. I mean, I told my oldest one, I was like, this is like being at the dentist. You know what I mean? A lot of flossing. And Rob, your sunglasses, those are much cooler than your fanny pack. You wear literally Brett the Hitman heart sunglasses all the time now, right? Yeah. That's debatable. Yeah. And somehow they're both huge
[10:01]and also not wide enough. They're too narrow for my head. So my head still looks like it's trying to like escape the sunglasses by getting out the side. But it's like in a total recall where the head starts to get bigger and he's like two weeks, two weeks. And that is getting, that's what my head looks like in these glasses because somehow they're huge and too small. So first of all, I got drug tested. So this time though, the guy did. So this time I drank a gallon of Gatorade before we went up. Unfortunately, I had a ton of paperwork to fill up beforehand. So, you know, last time I got a drug test, I talked about on here, I couldn't pee into the cup. I had to stand in the bathroom for like a half hour while my body made urine. This time I had to pee so bad. But I couldn't get to the bathroom. They were like, okay, sign this, sign this. And I was like, it was like dumb and dumber. I was like, let me go. So this time though, the last time the guy's like, I'm not watching you pee into this cup. This time the guy's like, okay, pull down your pants. Let me see it. So I am sitting there. Okay. I've got my massive dong in my hand, right?
[11:01]Pulling my pants down. Cause I've got pants. I've got a singlet. I've got the fanny pack. Like it's all, I have to like spread it apart. Like I'm opening up a Ziploc bag to get to like the final, to get to like the Ark of the Covenant in there. I had to spread apart all these different things, slip it out. So I'm peeing into this cup. It's good. It's filling up. It's filling up. I've got too much. I've got too much. All of a sudden I get the worst hamstring cramp you've ever had in your entire life. So now I'm peeing into this cup. I go, oh, and I'm grabbing onto my leg. And like the pee's going everywhere. I'm like, oh, no. The guy's like, are you okay? And I'm like, ah. I'm like, I squatted 700 pounds. But as soon as I pee into this cup, that's when it's too far. So there's, there's pee all over. I like hand it to the guy. He's like, oh God. Meanwhile, you know, I've just peed all over the place. So I go down. So now I get done with my urine test. I go down and I make a huge mistake because everybody's waiting in this restaurant for me. So I go in there. I see a guy who's like a hero of mine,
[12:01]powerlifting, right? So I go over and I go, hey, sir, I just wanted to say that you're a big inspiration for me. And I really enjoyed competing with you today. And I went to shake his hand and I gave him a shake like this. And I was like, oh, and I'm just going to show everybody like put out two fingers and then lightly wrap three fingers around those two fingers. I shook his hand like this. Like the weakest handshake where I just grabbed the last two joints on his fingers of like, and I instantly was like, oh God, that was the worst handshake I've ever done in my entire life. It was absolutely humiliating. Do you guys ever do like the aggressive handshake where you make sure you get in there and get the firm grip and grab the fingers? Or do you guys ever do that or not? The key is you have to match the tightness of the person gripping you, right? Am I wrong? Does anybody care about shaking hands anymore? I think you want to be 10% stronger than the person next to you. I think you got to, you have to show a little bit of dominance and just be a little bit more, right? Isn't that the way it goes? You just got to get a little flex in the forearm. See, Matt? You got to get just a little. You know, somebody's looking and they say, oh yeah, they got a little,
[13:00]just a little bit of a grip there. You twist it a little bit. You're like, nice to meet you, fucker. Don't mess with me. Yeah, when you see your father-in-law, like you got to like, if your father-in-law wants to shake hands, it's like, are you going to, like get in there and you got to show some, you know, some strength. You got to have a little, a little, there's got to be strength in that. You're right, Aaron. You can't shake your father-in-law's hand with the kind of a little, you know, giving him the office or whatever you want to call that. That will not apply. It was pathetic. It was like I was shaking a baby bunny. You know what I mean? Like I was grabbing a baby bunny and I didn't want to crush it. It was the worst handshake I've ever had. So for the rest of this dinner, I'm getting up like every two minutes and going to the bathroom. Just, I have to pee like crazy because I drank so much Gatorade. I then go out and pose for some pictures with my gold medal because of course I was wearing my gold medal and when I went in the restaurant, I showed everybody like this, like it's Wayne's World with my badge. And just to embarrass my kids, I was showing everybody the gold medal. My kids are like, stop doing that. What did they do with the silver and bronze medals that were awarded to nobody? They were like, the silver medal goes to this table.
[14:02]The bronze medal goes to a styrofoam cup. You know, like it could have been anything. Rob's Gatorade. So then afterwards, we go out and I take pictures with my coach. I take pictures with my coach. I take pictures with Jenny. I almost asked for pictures with the guy that I shook hands with. Like I was trying not to hurt him. We go back to the hotel and Jenny posts the pictures on Instagram to her stories. And I'm just going through Instagram and I'm looking and you know, I'm kind of tired. And I look, the entire front of my pants covered with a piss stain. I don't know if it was during the drug test or it was going to the bathroom. And it's these shorts I wear. It's not my fault. It's definitely not my anatomy but there's something about these shorts that like, I don't know what it is but it like primes the pump from the bottom and makes it comes out the front. I don't know what the deal is but it, I mean, and it wasn't just like a dot. It was like the size of my palm. I mean, it was like, it was a lot of pee on the front of my pants.
[15:01]So here's Jenny. It says like, congratulations to Rob, national champion. And I'm standing there with just totally sopping wet crotch of my shorts. And I go, no, Jenny, you have to take, you have to take down these photos immediately. And so she took them down and put text over like the pee stains. Unfortunately, the next day, my gym had gotten a hold of it beforehand and did repost it. Congratulations, national champion Rob. Pee stain on my pants. And I was like, well, what are you going to do? But for the rest of the night, guess what I put in front of that stain? Fanny pack. A fanny pack. It helped me out a ton. My gold fanny pack drew attention yet somehow drew attention away from the fact that I had peed my pants as a 41 year old national champion. I got to ask something. Matt, Matt once has brought up before some things you have to be obligated to disclose or to tell people when it comes to the online dating world. You guys are married. Doesn't your wife have an obligation when she sees the picture with you have the pee stain on the front to say, hey, Rob, this is not a good picture. I'm not posting it. Hold on.
[16:00]Do you think that Jenny actually looked at Rob or any of the kids? No. Just look at herself. She looked good for the picture. Screw everybody else. That just shows what an amateur you are, Russell. I think that you could possibly care what I look like. I've told you, I've gone to work before. Toothpaste all over my face. Having had a long conversation with her in the morning, never said anything to me about toothpaste. Do you think she noticed the pee stain in the picture and chose to post anyways or was just oblivious? No, because I said to her, please take those down. And then she did. And she covered the pee stains up with text. But I was like, this is both one of the greatest days and worst days ever. Like social media, national. And if she hadn't taken it down, like the federation of the power lifting were reposting all the pictures from the meet. So this would have gone out to literally like their 10,000 followers of like me with pee all over my pants. And it wasn't like, oh, I can barely see. It was like, it was immediately noticeable. Do you feel like she let you down at all or not? Would you guys have felt let down if your wife posted that picture with you and didn't save you or not?
[17:01]Russell, at this point, it didn't even like, I was just like, take those down. She's like, okay, no, that was it. Like there was no like, how could you put those up? Let's have a conversation about this. I was like, yeah, she's just not looking at my crotch when she's posting pictures, even though that was in our wedding vows. Like we wrote our own vows and that was one of them. You will constantly be looking at my crotch. You know, when I was a child, I did childish things and now I'm an adult and I look at crotches at pictures. Is that how it works? That vows? Yeah, I think that's it. I think that's it. Aaron, I can see, I can see Aaron and his wife at Aaron's Gmail at whatever.com or whatever her name is. I bet you guys have like discussions over every picture you post on social media, right? I mean, I don't think, yeah, I don't think either of us have posted a picture of one another. I mean, I've never won a national championship either though, but yeah, I think it would be like double check. You've never beaten no other competitors in a weightlifting contest. No, the way we say that is national champion, Russell. Oh, sorry, sorry. I've never won a national championship. So no, I think that, yeah, she would probably
[18:00]take a glance at my crotch before posting any photos to the socials. Where's the high five emoji on the zoo? I'm going to give you a high five for that. No, I, yeah, well, that's the thing, right? Is that all I want is to be famous and I want everybody to know me, but I'm constantly peeing my pants. So what can you do? It's like, you can't win, you know? I mean, you can get famous for that, I think. Yeah, I don't know about that. But Russell, yes, the answer is. If it's constantly there, you should see your doctor. That seems like constant peeing your pants seems like a problem. You should get checked out. It's this one pair of shorts. It's this one pair of shorts. They're like three inch shorts. They're so short, but like the crotch taint area is like so tight that it really is. It's like, it's like your dog. Eat a little, eat a little bit of that crotch. Give yourself a little room there. Speaking of which, while we're on vacation, somebody, one of our neighbors watches the dog. Five pairs of the woman's underwear he ate. Five. Oh no, five? Five pairs. So I like, I'm like, I was going to offer money to reimburse, but like, how much do I offer?
[19:01]Like, if I offer 10 bucks, that seems really cheap. Two pairs, two bucks a panty, like that's cheap. But like, is she buying like, I can't be like, hey, are you buying like $50 a pair of panties? Like, and by the way, in my family, we always call women underwear panties. So my daughters have grown up calling them panties. And so, because it makes so many people uncomfortable that I think it's so funny that everybody right now calls them panties now. So you can't say like, hey, how much, how much do I need to pay you for these panties? Like you, that does, you cannot bring that up in a conversation. What do I owe you for the panties? So that's the first part of my rolling going. The best of me, Rob, if you Venmo'd her, like you guys have Venmo where you can make it public where people know what they're getting paid for. You see what all your friends are paying for. If you were to make that public, Rob, I'm sure she would be thrilled when you sent the, the $18 for 10 bucks for panties. Panties. Dogs, dog ate your panties. Sorry. Dog, dog, picture of dog teeth. Not good. Aaron, rolling going. How's it going with you? First of all,
[20:00]before you say anything, Aaron, and I almost said shut up, but I didn't. So I should get credit for that. Aaron did text us a picture today of the shears that he bought at the Sharp store next to, the chicken that he had spatchcocked. So I got a real kick out of that. It was like the, I think people think maybe Aaron is like putting on an act for the podcast, but this is Aaron like IRL. This is real Aaron that you're hearing. And I can't wait for another story equally as good to the sheer story. Aaron, go. Thank you, Rob. Yes, I did. I had a tough day, guys. I worked at least three and a half to four hours today in between spatchcocking and rolling a chicken. You put in a half day. That means you put in a half day. Oh, yeah. You put 12 hours. It's like a whole day for me. Yeah. But really, my rolling going is about- Sometimes the spatchcocking is so hard. You know what I mean? Like it takes so long. Yeah. Because you're like, well, I can spatchcock this really quick. But then like, you're distracted. You're doing other things. You know, plus when you're getting older, it's- Your mind wanders. You're trying to lay down and spatchcock. It's hard to do when you lay down. It takes time. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to keep the shears on the right line.
[21:00]So last weekend was Father's Day, as some people are aware. And we were in Tahoe to hang out, which was purely coincidental. So I had a nice Father's Day. I went for a nice paddle. And at the risk of making this rolling going a kids say the darndest things type moment, my son loves to like draw a picture and then dictate, you know, what the picture is. And we read on the picture what it was. And then for, you know, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, he loves to like tell the other parent, you know, what to write on the card. And so while we were in Lake Tahoe, we went to Rite Aid and we were like, which Rob would be like a Dwayne Reed in your world. And we bought him his first ever. Yep. I know I got to translate for the East Coasters. You're the only one out there. We bought him his first ever squirt, you know, squirt gun type apparatus. So it was called the stream machine.
[22:00]So it's one of those that's like, it's shaped like a tube, except it does have like a pistol grip on the end. So it was all, it was very like when you first see your four-year-old weapon type looking thing, it's kind of scary. What was the name of it, Aaron? It's called the stream machine. You know, I got that nickname after a party sophomore year of college. I'll tell you that story sometime. That's a good one. So we went out to lunch in Lake Tahoe and King's Beach and then ran over to the pharmacy and bought him a stream machine. And he loved playing with that on the beach. So he loved, you know, using it to shoot the water in the air and squirt it at other people. And so he loved like being like, dad, pretend like you don't see me. And then he'd like, you know, shoot water at my back. Yeah. Dad, I love guns. Well, yeah, that's the, I love guns now. I love shooting people. That's the, right. I know that's the challenge. We're like, it's a water squirter. It's a stream machine. It's, you know, you're trying not to use the word gun. I want to join the military. I want to bring peace to other countries. And you're like, well, yeah, like that's not how that works. Yeah. So they'll welcome us with open arms,
[23:00]dad. You're like, well, mission accomplished, dad. Yes. So I wake up Sunday morning. The stream machine is made by Dick Cheney. It's like, Oh no, he got up at three 45 on Sunday morning, never went back to bed. So that was a different story, but I slept for a minute and then got up at seven 30 and there was a nice card under my door. That was that he had dictated to my wife. That was like, you know, dad, happy father's day. I love you. I love wrestling. I love that. You listen to music. Do you want to be squirted? So I said, do you want to be squirted today? Who's handwriting? Was that anything else? Maybe that was, maybe that got lasted the interpreter slash translator. You know, you get a like straight face and be like, Oh yeah, I would love to be squirted today. Thanks. I'd love to be squirted. Oh my God. Reminds me of a movie
[24:00]I saw in college. Actually. Yeah. It was the ultimate version. Wasn't it? Yeah. That's one card. You got to save Aaron. That's one. You got to save. Absolutely. I'm going to frame that thing, man. I'm going to put it on the better Instagram. So I had a good, I had a good father's day. Yeah. After all, but I didn't get squirted except by the, by the stream machine. Okay. Okay. That's Aaron. Let's come on. We got to, I got to edit this thing. What do you want from me? I'm talking about peeing my pants over here. All right, Matt rolling going. How's it going with you? Good. I've gone back to the list. Yes. Just to make sure you get those things in. First of all, Nicole out on Roosevelt Island. Great Baker. Great Baker. Oh, interesting. Anytime anybody has a Roosevelt Island, I recommend you go to her bake shop. Great, great cook. Pearl Jam. I'm part of the fan club. I received the 2017 and 2018 yearly single
[25:00]that they sell. I got that today. So thanks, Pearl Jam. I look forward to. What is it? Are they in a time machine? Aaron, what is it? Aaron, be quiet. Well, actually, Rosie, they did cover. Apparently in 17, they, you know, they usually send out like a single. It's like a cover or something. They, you know, used as a charity event or something. And they sang Wildflowers by Tom Petty. Oh, that's sweet. That's a good one, though. So I haven't heard it yet, but I got to listen to it. But, you know, I just want to say thanks. I'll tell you, if you're getting singles in the mail, Russ is going to sign up. He's like, this is way easier than Bumble. They just show right up in your mail. So why are these singles from 2017 and 2018? Like, have they been like me with a podcast? They're like, oh, shit. It's we got to get this out. It's way too late. That's that's kind of what it is. It's just they're all aged two years behind. Yeah. So it's like our pack of Christmas cards that Jay and I have still on our dresser. It's like, I got one. I stole one. I got it. Yeah, I didn't get one from you this year, Russ. I got one. Yeah, because we are sending them out in June as a joke because we missed the cutoff for the holidays and we're like, well, might as well wait for June for the ultimate joke. But we're not going to do it.
[26:00]There's only like 10 days left in June. You're going to miss June, too. Yeah, you're you're you're closer to the new Christmas. The same frickin thing happens every frickin year where Jay's like, it's a huge pain. We never send them out. It's a giant pain. We get like five now because nobody else wants to do it either. Nobody does. Everybody knows what's going on. And she goes, OK, next thing I know, we either get one. She has ordered one card at a time by accident. One or we get 2000 for some reason. And then she's like, OK, I got the cards. I was like, why did you do this? Nobody cares. Nobody wants this. She also has a habit of only picking photos that are way zoomed in. So there are like two pixels. She got me a bunch of mixed tiles for Father's Day of pictures of us. It looks like you are looking through it through Vaseline for some of the pictures she picked. Like, how do you know what looking through Vaseline looks like? That happened to me once in college where our friend Manny was like, if you guys take Burt's Bees and you rub it on your eyes, it feels so good.
[27:00]So, of course, my friend, nobody's right into astronomy class and we're like, hey, let's do that. That seems like a great idea. So we take Burt's Bees. We put it on our eyes immediately. It burns like hell. It feels it feels awful. We start going, oh, teacher walks in and we're sitting there tearing up with red eyes like looking at her. She's like, oh, my God, these guys are so stoned on like a Wednesday at 8 a.m. And we're like, no, we put Burt's Bees on our eyes. She's like, OK, I'm sure. So another fun story adventure, Rob. Keep going, man. Did Manny put it on his eyes, too? No, I'm sure he lied to us about that. That's slide. Yeah. Oh, good for him. Patrick from Richfield is the co-head coach of my T-ball team. He's got a couple of great kids, good baseball players. But he I learned, you know, I'm with this guy for the last like six weeks or whatever. And all of a sudden on on is finally getting hot out. So people are wearing shorts and everything. Dudes all tatted out. And he's got a bunch of like Grateful Dead tattoos.
[28:00]And I'm like, oh, interesting. Is that turtle Grateful Dead? Oh, yeah. You know, a big fan. So apparently he's this big music guy loves just about everything I like. And then he's like, oh, yeah, but, you know, I got a band, you know, we play, we play around. I'm like, man, this guy's this coach's name is Eddie Vedder. I'm going to shit myself. So here I got Rob. I sent you over one of the songs. I don't know if you pull it up. Oh, hey, cool. But Patrick is his band is called Seafarer. S-E-A-F-A-R-E-R. And they're kind of, I don't know, a trippy. All right. Let's band rock and roll. Oh, yeah. I like that. That's pretty good. See? No. OK, here, let's go. Is that the funniest song I could have picked? I'm not sure. And so, you know, I played at 7th Street Entry, things like that. I'm like, this is freaking awesome. And so I just want, I'm going to be, he said that if I could get him to South by Southwest that I could go as a roadie. So my sole, you know, mission in life right now
[29:00]is just to start pumping up Seafarer so they get popular enough to go to South by Southwest. And I could be a roadie. So, yeah. So Patrick from Richfield, I just want to, hey, he's a good musician. I swear to God, if our podcast gets DMC, for this song, like this is a song we get hammered for. Yeah. Well, he's currently got five subscribers to his YouTube page. And so we got to pump that up. I have more than Beck did at Better YouTube. I can tell you that. Seafarer. And then if you, if you, that song was called For Peggy Guggenheim. So just put in Seafarer and then For Peggy Guggenheim and you can find his, the rest of his music. If you were a roadie, what exactly would you do, do you think? Like, what is a roadie's job? Is that why you're wearing the backwards hat? You're dressed a little different tonight. You got the backwards hat. It's black. See, I'm all black. I'm getting ready. I noticed. I noticed. Like, can you tell me what the first two strings on a guitar are if you're going to tune them up? Like, what would you tune them to? Nope. And see, that's the problem. I'd have to be the muscle. I think I'd be strictly like lifting those big crates
[30:00]up and down because I couldn't be the guy who goes out and is, you know, noodling on the guitar, testing the levels and everything of the drummer, you know, getting all that stuff going. I would literally be there to just move everything around the stage. So I would probably be a good roadie. You'd go out and get the girls' numbers. Like, when he points at them from the crowd, you'd go out. Yeah, you. Yeah. The band is deigned to see you in the back. Yeah. So, yeah. So Patrick from Richfield, just want to, hey, everybody check out Patrick's band. It's pretty darn good. What instrument does Patrick play? Patrick play, he's the lead guitarist, does a little bit of some of the percussions, and he's the lead singer of the band. Oh, sweet. Yeah. So that's my role in going for the week. He must be an advertising genius if he decided to advertise on this podcast. Yeah. He's going to reach out to dozens of people over a couple of years. Our dozens of listeners. To be fair, we've got to meet like 30 times over if he's at five subscribers. So let's, let's. That's true.
[31:00]That's true. Get down and kiss my toes, Patrick. Okay. We're your gods now. We're who you pray to. Let's see if we can double that. Let's see if we can get, let's see if we can get that number up to 10. Okay. So go to his YouTube and then subscribe and then let's go leave a message that says, Ooh, Aaron loves them toes. Put that message right on the video. Aaron loves them toes. Aaron and his wife are going to have to go to the library to use the internet to watch the YouTube video of Seafarer. Man, I miss the library. I mean, I like my Libby subscription, but I would love to get back to the library someday soon. Rosie, what do you love about the library? Well, I like the library because you can go in and pick out books for free and you get to, you know, browse them and they're right there just for you to pick out. But I was going to say that what I like about the Libby app is that what I've, what I've started doing is just, I check something out for 21 days. If I don't finish it in my 21 days, I don't renew it. I just move on to another thing. If I, if I feel really strongly about it, I'll remember to renew it ahead of time. And it's, and it's, it's freeing.
[32:00]I've, I've caught, I've been caught in the trap plenty of times of like, I got to finish this book and you don't have to finish that book. No one's going to hold you accountable for finishing that book. So just move on to another one. Russell, how's it going with you? It's going really well. As you guys know, I was flying this weekend for work. So I was back on the road. I was back on the plane. So I got to share another one of, what do you call it, Rob? Plane old Russell. So the first experience I had on the plane that I had to share with you guys, do you guys ever get upgraded or they call your name up to the front and you get called up and maybe they're going to give you a better seat, maybe an exit row. They're going to change your seat. And that's always an amazing feeling. Do you guys ever get upgraded? Who gets upgraded when you're on the plane? You know who gets freaking upgraded all the time? My wife. Okay. And you know who doesn't? Me on the flight down to Florida. Okay. So we were flying to Florida the day before we flew down. We realized that we bought a ticket for me. Jenny was already down there. We bought a ticket for me and for my oldest. We totally forgot to buy a ticket
[33:00]for the youngest kid. It's our bad. We had two tickets. We're like, oh, so we had to buy a third ticket. So of course we have two tickets next to each other and one in a middle seat by itself. Well, the girls will not sit by themselves. So here I am on the plane going down to a super heavyweight powerlifting thing and I'm in the middle seat like this, squeezing it together until my chest looks like a butt. And at this, meanwhile, I'm trying to edit the podcast on my computer. So I'm like, and also hoping, praying that the sound doesn't come out, but I don't ever get upgraded. I'm treated like trash all the time. Matt can't get any further toward the front of the plane than he already is. So he obviously doesn't get upgraded. I could get to first class every once in a great while first class, but a lot of times if we're back with the regular people, we'll get up into the at least comfort plus. Yeah, that's good. Well, it turns out my upgrade was not as big of an upgrade as I thought it was going to be. So they say, hey, can we just move you up? We're going to move you up five rows. And I was like, well, that's fine. I'm assuming they're trying to put a family together.
[34:00]They're trying to put Rob with his kids or something like that. I'm like, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I'm still on the aisle. So I start walking down the aisle. I essentially, I see Rob sitting in the middle seat. It's not Rob, but it's someone who is, it's bigger than me. And I'm thinking, damn it. Why did I take this upgrade? I would have rather sat four rows back and not being sit next to this guy. And so I immediately look up Rob and he does the whole thing where he's smiling. He's like, well, shit, this is not what either of us signed up for. It's like when you put dough in a bowl and let it, you know, expand overnight and then you come back later and it's way too big for the bowl. Like that's what those seats look like. You're just all squeezed in. They're the worst part of this though, is our flight got delayed about 30 minutes and they announced that it was because of load balance and there was a delay for balancing because there was too much weight on one side of the plane. And immediately I started thinking people got to be looking at me and this guy right now. Like we are the fat twins on the motorcycle. So we're just sitting on the plane. It was terrible.
[35:00]You don't think, you don't think motorcycle, by the way, you don't think that you, you, you guys were so overweight, but when you took, when you took off your seatbelt, it did make the sound like when you open up the container of Crescent rolls, you know, that popping sound. That's what it sounded like when you took off your seatbelt. So, yeah, I, so I had, I had my, I thought I was getting upgraded. Turned out it was terrible and I would have given, I would have paid any money to have my old seat back at that time. It was terrible. I'm never taking an upgrade on a flight again. Normally you guys know I can't stand hot food on the plane. We've discussed this before. I came across another food and it's not hot, but it should not be allowed on a plane. And I want to know what you guys think of this. Cheddar flavored popcorn. Cheddar flavored popcorn has a distinct smell. And you gotta have it. It has to be eating cheddar flavored popcorn on the plane. I think it's bullshit. What do you think? Well, what did he do? How did he clean off his hands afterwards? Is that stuff? Is he just licking his hands? Did he like wipe it on his sock like a normal human being
[36:00]or did he, how did he do that? Wait, wait, wait, wait, hang on. Did Matt say, did he wipe him on his sock? Yeah, like a normal, you human being. What are your socks for? You wipe your hands. I'm still sucking all those fingers. He's got that fancy mic, so we're going to be able to hear that. My fingers are really salty. I haven't even been eating anything. I don't know what's going on. So cheddar popcorn, that was my second experience on the plane. Don't, don't do this people. Don't do cheddar popcorn. It's wrong. Matt, cheddar popcorn appropriate on a plane, yes or no? No. Aaron? Yes. I'm going to say yes too. I don't think it's the worst kind. I got to say though, anything with dust, I think you're trying to cause trouble. Like Cheetos, I think you would open them and realize what a huge mistake it is and put them away, but it is a stinky food. I don't really mind the smell. Honestly, I would be concerned to what that, the cleanliness of that guy's hands and what he did to get all that crap off of it.
[37:00]And then he reaches down towards you to unbuckle his seatbelt. The cheddar is getting closer and closer. Look out! Meanwhile, you're like trying to give him a hint. You're over there. He falls asleep and you're like, oh, maybe I'll put your hand in my mouth. What? That's not a funny joke. He wakes up. We're just letting you go, man. We're just letting you go. We're just going to see how far you're going to take it. I'd like it if I woke up on a plane and somebody was sucking my fingers. Okay? Does that make me a weirdo? Yes. No, it doesn't. That'd be great. Like he woke up and somebody's like, that'd be like, great. The final, or I got two more. The next thing I would, you guys have younger kids, Aaron, I don't think you've ever been to, have you guys been to Disney World? Have you guys been to the Orlando airport? Because there is not an unhappier place in the history of the earth than the Orlando airport. With the amount of kids that are leaving to go, leave Orlando to go home. There is not a place in the world that is unhappier in the world than the Orlando airport for people going home.
[38:01]What about Vegas? No, not even close. At least they're adults and they're just sitting there hungover. Kids leaving Orlando is an absolute nightmare. I can only imagine. Rob, have you been to Disney World with your kids or not? We flew into Orlando going down to Florida for this weightlifting thing and my kids were so pissed because there's all these people there with signs that say to Disney World and they see people and they go, yeah, we're going to Disney World. Let's go. And we're like, okay, kids, we're going to take a 45-minute Uber to Daytona Beach. Instead of going to Disney World, they got to go watch me squat and then pee my pants and then talk about it in front of them because we're all sharing a hotel. So they got to see a lot of naked me walking around the hotel doing naked hotel things like I do. I can't wait to hear your kids' podcast someday. That is going to be such rich material. If they ever started a podcast, I would be so, so disappointed in them. I'd be like, you guys had so much potential and this is what you're doing now? Talking to your friends about making fun of your dad just because as a joke, he would open the hotel door naked
[39:00]and say he's going to go get ice and make people run and stop him. It's so funny to do. Final thing. We're going to try one more thing on the plane. What's your guys' movie style? Do you ever watch other people's movies instead of your own movie? Oh, 100%. I thought we could play a little game here and I'm going to give you guys movies that were on the plane that I was on and the question is going to be, would you rather watch this movie on the plane, watch it on someone else's TV on the plane or not watch it at all? So I'm going to give you three movies and you guys get a pick. Watch it on your screen. Peep on someone else's screen. Would that be the right term, Rob? Peeping on someone else's screen or not watch it at all? So the first one, action adventure. Here are your three options. Back to the future, the departed, or the matrix. Which one are you going to watch on your screen? Which one are you going to peep? I can already tell you flew Delta, by the way. That's so sad.
[40:00]That's so sad that I would know that. Yes. So the departed. The departed. Back to the future or the matrix. I think, I think the matrix on someone else's screen, I would probably watch the departed and I could skip back to the future, but my kid was watching back to the future and I was watching on her screen and I loved it. But the matrix has some great scenes where you can just watch and be like, oh, this looks really cool. You don't need to hear what they're saying. I don't know. Matt, would you peep any of those movies on someone else's screen or not? If I had to back to the future, I'd watch the departed and just get rid of the matrix. Aaron, have you heard of any of these movies? Yes, I have. I'm similar to Rob. I would, but I would watch back to the future. I would peep the matrix and I could skip the departed. And is it true, Aaron, that you like that movie because they go back and date their mom? No. That wasn't really what I had in mind. I was thinking more along the, I was, I was enjoying the Chuck Berry connections. Oh, Aaron. Oh, Aaron.
[41:00]Why would you do that? I was making a joke about having sex with your mom and then you bring up Chuck Berry, something way worse. Yeah, that's bad, Aaron. Like, can you imagine you're having sex with your mom and then she sees your toilet cam? She'd be like, I'm so disappointed in you. Like, that'd be bad. That's like the lower, you're like a lower level. That's gotta be the worst joke. Can I, like, it can't get any lower than that. She's like, okay, we're done. This is terrible. That's rock bottom. We're trying to fix this dryer. I got stuck, but now I'm seeing where these toilet cams are and I'm so disappointed in you. Speaking of, like, inappropriate things you should be watching, have you guys ever looked at a movie and thought, wait, there might be a sex scene in this and I'm not sure what they're gonna bleep out and I don't want other people peeping on my screen and they're seeing that I'm watching something inappropriate. Yep. So today, I thought this. I saw these three movies and I was like, wait, these could have a sex scene and I'm scared to watch them. Nice. Would you watch, peep, or skip Wedding of the Stars? Wedding Crashers, Risky Business, or Old School? Oh, I... Wedding Crashers,
[42:00]Risky Business, or Old School? Wedding Crashers for sure has that nude scene, right, where all the naked women are being on the bed? And it's right at the beginning, isn't it? Yeah. Right when they're asking you to put that tray table up, Russell? Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I'd watch that and, like, you tell the fat guy next to you, like, hey, check us out. Check us out. Check us out. Oh, yeah. Did a high five. Excuse me. I know we were having a load balance issue earlier. We're having a load balance issue now. A load imbalance. I would... I mean, I've seen Wedding Crashers and Old School both so many times that I would not want to watch either of them, but I wouldn't really want to peep either of them either. I'd probably prefer to peep Risky Business, but I think I got to watch Risky Business and then maybe... maybe peep Old School because I could just check in with all the funny jokes and I could laugh... laugh along with it. He comes out playing his guitar in his underwear and you just hear this breathing behind you, like... Aaron's back there with a cheddar popcorn. He's like... I love Risky Business. If Matt were watching Risky Business, that's when they would start doing the... the announcements
[43:00]and his screen would freeze and everyone would be like, God, who is this guy who's got it frozen on the Tom Cruise thing? Is there anything worse than the... the... flight attendants who are just want to hear their own voice? No. And then they'll click like this and welcome to Delta. Can you imagine a bunch of people sitting around thinking people want to hear what they have to say? I'm not. What could possibly be worse? But I mean, it would be like you put this podcast on during a plane flight like over... over the speakers. That would be so funny to do. Like somebody's on a plane and they just start playing Beck Did It Better and you can't figure out how to turn it off. It'd be so good. The final movie and we're going to not do peep or watch whatever. There was a person on my plane that watched one of these three movies and I couldn't believe it. I'll let you guys try to figure it out. Forrest Gump, Goodfellas, or Full Metal Jacket. Oh! Did they really try to watch Full Metal Jacket on the plane? The guy next to me who was eating the cheddar popcorn and the bigger dudes crammed into the middle seat decided he was going to watch Full Metal Jacket
[44:00]on a plane. I thought this was insane. Why would you do that? Like that just makes you look like a psychopath. No one should watch that movie ever. If you've seen it one time, you never need to see it again. If you haven't seen it, I don't think a plane is the place to watch that. I love a movie where the character kills himself halfway through and then you still watch the bad part of the movie, like the war part. You're like, oh, this is the depressing part afterwards. From there, forget it. Oh, forget about it. That was the one movie where I was like, oh, this is a classic movie. I think I was like 12 or 13. I was like, this is a classic movie. I know it's famous. I'm going to watch it. I took it home and I was like, yep, I don't like classic movies. This is not for me. I wish I hadn't watched that. Yeah, I was like, I thought this was going to be a cool war movie and instead it was a war movie. Was this guy eating, was this guy eating his popcorn the entire time as he's watching this movie? I'm so concerned. No, the cheddar popcorn went down within like the first eight minutes of the flight. Like there were no movies being watched and that cheddar popcorn was gone, but that smell lingered for a while. Then obviously he was not licking his fingers. He must have wiped them on his socks.
[45:00]Oh yeah, this is, you know, this is the part where they beat him with the soap and the socks. I love that part of the movie. I thought this was like the ultimate metaphor for my life though. I got the upgrade on the seat and it turned out it was sitting next to a large man in the middle seat who was eating cheddar popcorn and watching full metal jacket on the, on the flight. So the only movie I could peep was full metal jacket. That sucks. That's bad. That's not what you need in your life. No. No good. All right. Have we done everybody's rolling gones? Yeah. I got to plug my computer in quick, Rob. Yeah, sure. No problem. Was that a euphemism? What's he doing now? Yeah, it's only 12, 12 a.m. For some reason he's getting behind the computer. Oh no, the computer's moving back and forth. I like to think of Russell on a plane. He's always just scanning. He's like, this is good materials. Have you guys started saying things like this is a good bit to like real people? It's very bad. It's a dumb thing to do. It's like, oh, that's a good bit. It's like, no, this is not a bit. This is my real life. No, and Wallace gave me
[46:00]that Father's Day card and I was like, here's your rolling gone right there. I was like, well, that's fair. Yeah. What if she wrote it just for you, Aaron? What if she added it thinking like, oh, I'm this comedic genius and she's realizing she's pulling all the puppet strings. Yeah, I love feet too. Aaron, have you had to have that conversation too that, you know, I am more than the podcast. You know, we can talk about other things. Have you had to have that conversation with people? Yeah, I'm multifaceted. I'm not just about, my podcast. I'm not just about this podcast, guys. You know, I do want to talk about other things. Aaron, it's Rob's podcast. If you could refer to that properly next time, we'd appreciate it. I did go out to dinner with somebody today and we talked about the podcast for 15 minutes. At no point did they ask what the title was. Not even, not even close. I was like, yeah, I get it. Listen, there's this really good bit we do on a plane where he's eating cheddar popcorn. You have misophonia, you're going to hate it. It's great. We just had to pick on my role and go on, but like, as if my story wasn't sad enough,
[47:00]you had to drop a little bomb on it, Rob. Well, yours was the best one of the night. Yeah, my story was about peeing my pants, which is like, none of you were shocked by it. Not a single one of you were like, oh no, Rob, I can't believe you did that, which is kind of fun. So we are talking about the album Ramones, which is by The Ramones, which makes it very complicated if you want to listen to it on Alexa. It's like a, it's like a titular album, right? A titular album? Is it a titular? I guess it's a titular. No, it's a, what do you call that when it's the band's name who does it? It's like recursive. What? Aaron, they don't teach recursive in school anymore. So here's the thing. Is Aaron a programmer when he mentions recursive? I still can't figure out how to write recursive functions, though. It just, it blows my mind. I'm not, I'm sorry. What? No. Yeah, actually you are. Rob, if you still, if you still have any skill with your soundbite, you had the opportunity. I can't, because I just, the sense, that's what he calls
[48:00]his penis. Oh, oh, that's what I was, thought you were going with Russell. Where is that sound clip? I don't even know where that is anymore. That's what I'm gonna start calling my penis. I have found it. Don't worry. There you go. So we're talking about Ramones by the Ramones. This was the Ramones first album. It was 1974. They were a group. I couldn't tell. They were really, this is their first one. Yeah, no, this is, they hadn't quite perfected the nuances of making the album yet. Oh, and, and basically if you want to, learn more about the Ramones for me, it's a fascinating story. The Rolling Stone has a great article called the Curse of the Ramones about how they got together, but basically it's four guys. The recursive of the Ramones, the recursive of the Ramones. Recursive cannot be a running bit. Put that away when he's talking about the recursive of the Ramones. Oh my God. Mine recursives left. So here's the thing. Is that what you want? That's really what you want while I'm talking about the album? My God. So the band was formed in 74 by four cells. Basically, it's four guys. We had this pretty terrible childhood growing up
[49:00]who were all kind of outcasts and they got together to form a band. The problem is they couldn't really play their instruments very well and more than once they found that they could not sing and play their instruments. So they had to shuffle around, but they picked the name Ramones. None of them actually had the last name Ramones, even though when they were in the band, all of them had the last name Ramones. They all had different last names, but Ramone was the name that Paul McCartney would use to check into hotels. So one of the guys really liked that. So he decided to call the band the Ramones. This band, since 1974 forming, they played 2,263 concerts in 22 years. That's a lot. So that's an average of like, what is that? Over 100 concerts a year. Like, they never stopped touring. They just would tour, tour, tour. And what's crazy about that is that after early 1980s, two of the members didn't talk to each other anymore because they hated each other so much because one of them married. They married the girlfriend of the other one. You know, it's like, it's just one of those little things. Tough enough.
[50:00]But they had one of their first concerts at CBGB's and they played for 40 minutes and they said that 20 of it was just these guys yelling at each other. But soon after that, they got to a point where they would step out on stage. They wouldn't say a word and just play the songs and never take any breaks in between and just go right through it. Which you can imagine listening to this album because they had a goal of every time they would get together, they wanted to learn and play a new song every time they practiced. And so by the time they got done with their first album, they actually had three albums worth of material. Which is not that surprising listening to this album because there's not that big of a... Like if I played a song and I asked you which song was this, I think you would have trouble if they weren't singing the same four lyrics that are also the title over and over. But their goal, they said, was to take everything they hated out of rock and roll and just distill it down to the pure feel of it. So they got rid of all the guitar solos. They got rid of any kind of lengthy intros or any kind of... In fact, I've highlighted the two parts on this album where it's not just the same beat over and over. So, any kind of interesting rhythmic stuff going on
[51:00]in the drums, forget it. No, yeah. And the drummer said, he goes, I want to match up with the guitar, not the bass. I want to match exactly lockstep with the guitar, which you hear over and over. By the way, none of you brought this up, but I want to be sedated, which was my parody song today. Not on this album. Oh, I didn't want to call you out, Rob. I felt bad for you because you were complaining about being up late. So I didn't want to double down on the fact that that song is not on this album. But the album that it's on is not on the list. So I was like, it's like the bad one. It's fair game. Plus, nobody will freaking care. Who cares what I played for the Ramones? Nobody cares. Nobody will listen this far into the episode. Am I the only ones who doesn't know the difference between the Ramones and the Doors going into this or not? That's as hard as he's laughing. What the hell? Do I have a song for that, Evan? I thought one of the Ramones was the guy who died at 27. That is unbelievable. Are you confused? There is not a band with a more distinct look
[52:00]than that. There is no band in the Ramones. It kind of looks like the Doors, right? The same haircuts. No, they don't. They don't. All the guys from the Ramones look like other guys in the Ramones. Like, they all look exactly the same. There is no band that they look like. Also, the Doors, no guitars. The Ramones, all guitar. I was wondering how they did 2,000 concerts when the guy died when he was 21 years old or something. Russ is at the Ramones concert. Playwriters on the storm. So you confused. So let me get this straight. You confused. You confused the band that did Break On Through to the Other Side with this. Yes! This is badass. This is Blitzkrieg Bop, the opening track. This is an opening track, is it not? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, this is a great song. And if you get a chance to watch the Ramones play live, it's so fun to watch. I think this falls in the mass category of bands you would have to see live. Are they doing a... Is he doing a faux British punk accent here?
[53:04]Yeah. For the rest of the record? There are four guys from Queens. Right. I mean, there's definitely an affect being put on for this whole thing. But I mean, that sound, you're going to hear it and you're going to hear it again and again. It is just hard driving. They don't really care if the tempo stays the same for the whole song exactly. You can tell, much like some of my parody songs, they were like, let's get this done in one take and get out of here. But at the same time, this album is one of the most inspirational albums musically of any time. Any that we've done yet, right? Like, there are so many bands that you can think of that were huge when I was growing up that you can trace directly back to the Ramones. Yeah, that thick, chunky guitar sound that seems to have birthed sort of melodic punk that we would have grown up with with Green Day and Blink-182 and bands like that. Oh, pop punk? I think it comes directly from this. So this is one that Aaron said he likes to do after the podcast, Beat on the Brat. Oh, I'm sorry, it's Beat on the Brat.
[54:01]I'm sorry, I misread it. Beat on the Brat. Beat on the Brat. Beat on the Brat. I do it real quietly so I don't get caught. Oh, yeah. Beat on the Brat. No, the thing is, you gotta treat Brats more gently than that. Like, Brats, you can't just like fire those up over high heat because they're gonna break open and you're gonna have a Brat grease fire in the grill. Can't beat on your Brat. I'm also playing Aaron's left field take under the back of it, but I'm just saying I'm trying to kick Brats gently, man. You gotta treat those things nicely. By the second song on the album, this is like a 10 out of 10 for me. I absolutely love this opening couple songs. I can't say I'm gonna say the same once we've heard these for like the next 20 minutes, but... Right. The highs on this thing are so good. I was also thinking of Matt. Matt will always talk about when the opening track kind of lays the foundation for what you're gonna hear the whole album. And this is like,
[55:00]they play exactly what you're gonna hear for the whole album. It's just the same damn song for 30 minutes. It's like 35 minutes, isn't it? Yeah, you can just put this album on shuffle, no problem. The thing is, is that when I would listen to this a couple times, this album made me really tired. Did it make you guys tired? Like, it was kind of like straining to me to listen to this music. Aaron gets energized by beating on the Brats, so he doesn't get tired by that. It brings him energy. The fun thing about this for me is my son really loves punk music and he loves it to be loud. And so he loves this album, but then he does a thing where I'll be like, okay, well, it's like I'll pick him up from school and be like, hey, do you want to hear a new fast song? He's like, yes, I put it on in the car and then he wants to tell me something. So I turned down the music to hear him tell me something and then he says, dad, I wanted it that loud. So it's like, it is like a stressful experience for me because he loves this stuff and he likes it to be loud. Roll up the window between the front and the back seat, you stupid idiot. Aaron, does your kid ever listen to, does your kid ever listen to Raffy or kids songs
[56:00]or is he always listening to like Judy is a punk? He's, he doesn't very often listen to kids songs. So my, my, my brother got him a CD player for his birthday and he has, he likes the vines. He likes, he's got Bruce Springsteen born in the USA. He likes born in the USA. He does like Jack Johnson. So that's the closest thing. He likes Jack Johnson a lot. So we listened to that. I don't think that's the closest thing to a kid's song. You just, you just named two out of three bands. Russell has no idea who they are. He thinks there's no Jack Johnson, like, you know, brush by fair tales. That was always on when we were in college. He's got a lot of kids. He's got, he's got a lot of kids. He's got a lot of kids songs. Yeah. He's made, he's made a lot of kids with his music. That's why. That's good baby making music. Yeah. Go Nick Cannon with those things. All right. Judy is a punk. I like the sound of this album though. Like the voices somehow seem above the mix. When they play live, the voices are almost impossible to understand what they're going to be saying. But I think the sound somehow,
[57:01]like it's way up front. I love it. I did wonder about that listening because everything I heard was, was a recent remaster. And I wonder, what it sounded like when it first came out in 76. But yeah, it sounds great. Like you can hear everything. Except for the lyrics. You have no idea what the hell they're saying. Do you? For the most part, no. Yeah. You just read the title and then it's just that 10 times in a row. It's like, Judy's a punk. It's like, yeah, Judy's a punk. However, I will say to then have, this is the fourth song, the slowest song on the album. I want to be your boyfriend. You can hear the drum totally with the guitar here. Yeah, you're right. So Rob, you're saying this one is the most different because, because it's slower. It's yeah. I mean, but it's, it's, it's a huge change because you've just gotten blasted in the face for the last five minutes on three songs with the earlier ones. And this is also the song that guess what it has. Russell is one of the instruments. Tubular bells. It does, but it also has a glockenspiel.
[58:01]Oh, so picture the Ramones and their leather and their jeans playing the glockenspiel. One thing I also read that they used on this song is not a six string guitar, not an eight string guitar. Aaron, not 10 strings, Matt, not 11, a 12 string guitar. They use a 12 string guitar in this. Do you guys know there was such thing as a 12 string guitar? I didn't know. How's that? I own a 12 string guitar. So I read that, that 12 string guitars, Rob, maybe you could correct me or kind of, it's more of a thicker, like a ringing tone than a, than a six string. Is that right? Oh, I've never actually played it. No, yeah, no, I actually have it and I bought it for school because it's louder. The reason they have it is every string is just an octave above. And so it's, it's actually much, much louder to play it. And it does, you get way more of that drone. The only problem is when I didn't think about for school is when I'm standing in front of a class and I have to tune 12 strings, the kids are immediately like kicking each other and not listening to the songs that I wrote. Well, next time you want to get them
[59:00]into all 12 strings, Rob, maybe you can play them a list of the five greatest songs featuring the 12 string guitar ever. Check this. Oh yes. I love it. I told you it was about a number. I don't remember that. I thought this was all three chords. It's not like I get the doors and the remotes confused. I know what I'm talking about. This is the end. Every time Russell sends me a list, I try to figure it out. I had no idea what was going on until you hear this list, Russ Aaron. It's crazy. The first song on the list, Matt, I feel like this is one of your favorites. You got, you've brought up Tom Petty before. This is free falling by Tom Petty. Oh, great song. Did this video make anybody else attracted to women's skateboarders when they were growing up? Remember this video? It had that woman skateboarding in the ramp. Tell us about it. I don't know. I was attracted to, because then they would like show this, you know, this woman skateboarding. I was like, oh, that's great. And then they like quick flash to Tom Petty who looked like a grip keeper. And I was like, oh, it's kind of the opposite.
[60:00]I mean, it was hard to time your strokes. He was, Aaron, why do you keep bringing up strokes? Do you think I just, all I did watching music videos, that's like a VH1 video. I wasn't doing it to VH1 because you'd have to do it. You'd have to do that to like, I'd be like, okay, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. That's on next. Okay, that's going to be tough. Losing my religion, R.E.M. Yeah, again. Next up on the list is, we haven't, we've never covered the Eagles on this podcast before. This is Hotel California has a 12 string. It does. It also has like 12 guys in it. Remember when the Eagles made that huge comeback when we were younger? Everybody's like, oh my God, this is so good. One thing that was interesting, I don't know where, Hotel California, I think was, 37 on the old list, Matt, I don't know if you know where they're at on the new list, but Hotel California, they won Grammy for record of the year and they didn't show up and accept the Grammy because Don Henley doesn't believe in contests. So the fact that we're
[61:00]ranking his albums and his songs makes me very happy. Oh, that's great. I like that for Don. Doesn't believe in contests? He said he didn't believe in contests so they didn't show up to accept the Grammy. They've got like, they've got bets on the Super Bowl. He's like, nope, get rid of them. Nope. I don't even like the Super Bowl. He's coaching like Little League with Matt. He's like, it's fun versus fun out here. I'm Don Henley. I just want these guys to have a good time. Next up on the list, we've covered these guys a few times recently. This is Led Zeppelin, Over the Hills and Far Away. Check out the 12 string on this one. This is the 12 string that if you watch the Led Zeppelin live video, he's got the double neck guitar where one of them's a 12 string. Yeah. And then he can switch to the six. I don't know the name of any Led Zeppelin songs. I know so many songs. I never knew that this was called Over the Hills and Far Away. I think the reason you don't know the names is you guys have mentioned this once before. Maybe this name was inspired by the book The Hobbit by Tolkien. And is it true? Like a lot of their songs
[62:00]are inspired by The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I never knew that. They're huge fucking nerds. They like mentioned like not get through The Hobbit. I tried. Oh, The Hobbit. I love The Hobbit. What a swine you are. I did like The Hobbit. That was one of the books I liked. I didn't say I didn't like it. I just said I couldn't get through it. You have more mental I think that's implied you didn't like it. Leo and I read that. It's a little rough. All the bullshit you've read over the years you couldn't get through a Tolkien series. Would you like it? What if? How about this? What if it was fan fiction about The Hobbit? It was somebody that The Hobbit lived in an apartment next door and then I'm in. Then I'm in. Yep. If Michael Imperioli wrote fan fiction about The Hobbit then I'm reading it. My precious bacon. My precious bacon. Okay, can you imagine right now that if somebody has not listened to our Velvet Underground episode and they're hearing us talk about fan fic for The Hobbit written by Michael Imperioli my precious bacon they're like what?
[63:01]And then you have to explain this bit to somebody? Oh my God. Well, you see Velvet Underground Aaron read a book that was fan fiction by Michael Imperioli from The Sopranos where he lived by the guy in The Velvet Underground who lived with his transgender girlfriend and is like oh my God. But he couldn't make it through The Hobbit. Next up on the list another band we've never talked about on the list as far as I know Bon Jovi Dead or Alive Let's get some 80s let's get a hair band in here. Richie Sambora here we go. Speaking of The Sopranos No. Wrong one. Shit. I think like Russell now. Dumbass. Was this one from a young man's movie? I always had a I always had a theory on Bon Jovi that the the greatest sing-along band in a bar ever. If any Bon Jovi song comes on in a bar everyone has to sing along. Right? You know I've got a thought on that
[64:00]because when I was at this powerlifting meet you know what song first of all they did play Radiohead while people were lifting I got a big kick out of that I texted you guys. But you know what song came on that got more people jumping in their seat than anything else? What was that? And you're hearing in the background right now Let me clear my throat God damn! And I was like I was trying to explain to my girls like why is this song so popular? I was like well there's a lot of call and response and you're saying let me clear my throat and I was like actually I have no idea why this song is so popular but I love it every time it comes on. So good. I love hearing it in the background right now. Another song that was not popular but the final song on the list is going to go to my man Aaron. We all know Aaron loves John Denver. We've got to do one more John Denver song and I think I realized why Aaron loves John Denver. This is a song called The Eagle Lines. The Eagle Lines. The Eagle and the Hawk featuring the 12 string guitar. Here it is Aaron. Check out the lyrics about the hawk. I want to hear it.
[65:08]I do know this one. I know this one. This is literally in his bag in this one. He's going real soulful with this. You know he actually wrote this song from his experimental airplane when he was flying next and he's like breaker breaker I've got you going to hawk up here. Oh no they've been sucked into my engine. Tell my wife and children I love them. That part is not funny but oh I'm sorry he's not supposed to say that. Yeah. Yes Russell keep telling jokes after that one I just did please. Is that how I ended your list with a John Denver bit? I mean if we I put it at the end for a reason Rob I just thought you'd finish a little stronger. Plain old Russell that's perfect. Plain old Russell. I like how now when you see a thing about an eagle and a hawk you're like Aaron would like this. Aaron would like this song. I love Birds of Prey. You guys know this about me. See?
[66:00]John Denver Birds of Prey I'm all in on that. Matt's coaching assistant Seafarer is no longer happy that we've shouted out his pod his band on the pod. I get an email from him hey can you edit out from 10 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes? Remember that part where Aaron confused the doors and the remotes? That was bullshit. Actually gone back to music theory Aaron. Listen guys I don't want to bum you out but the beginning of this song Chainsaw is actually a circular saw. What? It's messed up. It doesn't sound like a chainsaw does it? I can tell you a bunch of guys from Fort Sills are not going to know what a chainsaw sounds like. That is not a song you're going to hear very often. I thought Aaron would really like this. I read this was 180 beats per minute Aaron. 180. That's getting up there pretty fast. 180 is getting fast. I like your speed. Three beats a second. That's so quick. What's your favorite power tool to use? Are you a chainsaw guy or a band saw
[67:00]or what's your favorite type of saw? Oh yeah. Chainsaw is pretty good. I can wield a chainsaw pretty well. There's just something about it nice drill gun that just gets everything. Yeah. I don't know. Did I ever tell you guys when I had a lathe when Jenny was in medical school and I just had all the time in the world? What's a lathe? You didn't tell us Rob. I had this lathe that I got from a guy who makes baseball bats that he used to sell to Major League Baseball players and this thing was like I mean it was like the size of a kitchen table and it ran on a giant motor so the first thing I do is I hook up one of the biggest logs you've ever seen in your entire life turn on the motor and this thing is like a and this thing starts spinning and it's spinning super fast and all of a sudden I hear this click, click, click, click, click and I go well that doesn't sound good so I step to the side the log is flung full force like a hundred miles an hour hits the wall of my garage makes this big dent and I was like it was like the most dangerous thing I've ever done and all I made out of it
[68:00]were like giant mugs made of wood that you can drink out of that was like nobody wants to drink out of a wood mug that I've made and then I later got a smaller one to make pens that also nobody cared about. like it's just a waste of my time I could have been doing anything else with my time after that story I want to go sniff some glue D.D. Ramone said about this song he said we don't actually sniff glue I stopped when I was eight that was a great quote does it? yeah I put this in here because it's one of the few changes right here like a tempo change great it's so good I love this second verse save this the first a little bit louder a little bit worse no listen see it's a little change they switched it up a little bit you're right I gotta admit to be fair they did switch it up for every song on this I just have picked the beginning to play because I'm like that's all you need is the beginning they shout the title and then that's it
[69:00]it'd be like just us yelling Beck did it better for like 45 minutes on an album with the same guitar beats over and over or just us being like gumming at bird's nest over and over again for an entire that would not be us we definitely haven't repeated jokes over and over until nobody thinks they're funny anymore I don't want to go down to the basement whoa it's scary down there yeah I you know the basement was always where I hung out when I was younger because it's like where the TV was and it was like people would not bother me down there you had your space huh yeah but is that a thing anymore with kids like do kids need the basement or is everybody's room just so awesome now like when I was growing up my room sucked it had like a desk that I did homework on and that was it like did you guys have a TV in your room or anything no I had a CD player so that was I mean yeah I'd go up and listen to my CDs you guys know I was up there trying to sing along with the Temptations but no no TV in my room Russell do you have a TV in your room I didn't have a TV in my room but when I was a kid
[70:00]I kind of had the whole basement so I had the whole basement kind of got finished and my room was the only room down there the whole beat suite was yours so I had it I could get it up to over 180 and I was not bothered by anyone you know where the creaky stair is you know you know you got one headphone out you're like Matt what about you did you have a TV in your room nope I had a friend who had a TV and like a Sega Genesis and like a waterbed I was like this is the greatest room of all time do people still have waterbeds is that a thing like that's so bad for your back it's not a good idea it can't be a thing like if you type in waterbeds for sale right now on Craigslist do any come up well there's a reason my updated profile hasn't been going very well I thought these were back in but I'll see if I can get a return on Amazon Day or whatever they had a lot more support yesterday Russell found out that lotion rhymes with motion of the ocean
[71:00]and it's just like yes this is my Bumble profile okay I'm gonna go Craigslist NYC waterbeds let's see my wife's been using the computer and the links are all purple let's see let's see New York waterbeds oh waterbed queen three years old three years old so somebody bought a waterbed like during the Trump administration they're like God I love this Trump guy you know what else is going so great I gotta get a waterbed who would say that a queen how much would you pay for a waterbed queen size $350 $250 you were so close Aaron I'm so impressed oh oh that is the one waterbed for sale I'm just gonna email him real quick Aaron and his Aaron and his wife would call Aaron's wife at gmail.com would call it a waste
[72:00]of water for him to put it in that bed oh can you imagine we're in a massive drought don't even get him started on that yeah don't get him started on the drought and how Aaron doesn't believe that so he steals water and he waters all his avocados out in the back with the stolen water he's why that's why he's watering his lawn by going to the bathroom out there okay so I should have stopped this bit a long time ago hey Rob you could spend a few more minutes just licking your fingers that would probably make it better right loud mouth this is like the most sort of hardcore I mean you know these songs all kind of start to sound the same but the other ones are too soft for you like each of them maybe birthed their own kind of you know offshoot to this to me sounds like more hardcore punk but I don't know anything about this music so I'm not the right person this song sounds exactly the same as in reality other songs it sounds exactly the same you're probably right I have to agree
[73:00]with Russell except there wasn't any power tools at the beginning was the only difference that's true that's how I knew chainsaw was on when they played a circular saw at the beginning of it this one is called Havana Affair is this mildly political somehow or what's going on in this song I didn't research this out at all yeah they were talking about it was like a story of a CIA agent going down the Cuba or something like that because I think didn't one of the Ramones end up having really conservative politics or some kind of strange ideas so the two that were always in a fight I think were Joey and Johnny Ramone one of them was super liberal and the other one was so conservative that at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame entrance speech he thanked everyone and then he thanked George W. Bush for doing such a great job as a president okay and Aaron's giving a big thumbs up so okay I guess not common at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yeah mission accomplished you gotta thank listen to my
[74:00]heart here we go I know this beat I've heard this before this is familiar I love the doors I had to bust out my book who's in vinyl covered the Ramones and there wasn't like 12 pages of the same drink over and over they had two different drinks but one of them they suggested the Ramones for garage parties I don't know the 4th of July is coming up but they suggested a whiskey smash so I'm having a whiskey smash tonight but the 4th of July the whiskey smash is bourbon it's actually it's an old drink with a punk rock name boozy yet refreshing it's bourbon simple syrup which I actually went and bought this time because I was worried my maple syrup wouldn't fit with the mint leaves that I purchased today for my cocktail mint leaves so I actually this was one of the first times where I was doing muddling do you guys know how to muddle the leaves what's your muddling style I'll tell you what if you're supposed to clap them
[75:00]if you're taking online drink courses like Jenny and I are they're slapping them now Russell muddling is muddling is fine but are you slapping the leaves before you put them in I slap it first before I muddle right yeah you gotta slap it right move you gotta slap it then muddle yep depends on what the leaf thinks I mean that's what Aaron's father's day card said you gotta slap it before you muddle I slap my bay leaves before I put them in don't be gross Aaron I slap my bay leaves before you muddle yeah I slap bay leaves before putting them in like soup yeah because you gotta release the oils and stuff yeah you break the bay leaf in half you slap it and then you throw it in there Aaron's soups are like everyone else's cocktails he's like oh gonna muddle these potatoes in there yeah I'm gonna turn my cocktails like take a shot of whiskey like just whiskey in a glass then you go I'm convinced bay leaves are just pieces of plastic that they've tricked us into buying and putting in a soup and it's like oh it's so good every time I grab a bay leaf it feels like plastic see now this is have you ever walked through a forest or an open area
[76:00]where there's actual bay trees it's delightful you smell it it's everywhere around you if you're near it I mean I can't I can't go I only I don't like the new ones I only like old bay oh nice 53rd have you been to 53rd and 3rd Rob actually today Jay and I got in the wrong subway again so yes I was 53rd and Lex I had to get off oh I picked the last spot where they actually change it up they had a little pause pause pause , there didn't they yeah a pregnant pause so you can tell what these lyrics are about it's a mystery who knows what are there for food options at 53rd and 3rd is there a pizza place is there a is there a grazed papaya does grazed papaya still exist oh yeah oh yeah it's still around I have no idea what's at 53rd and 3rd and Aaron I don't care fair enough I am not exploring New York looking for new places I'm going to the
[77:00]same three places I live in the greatest city in the whole world and I eat at the same three places every time you gotta say like you normally sit around but you gotta say like greatest city in the world greatest city in the world I order from the same two takeout places every time if you look at my seamless it's just the same two meals every single time it's disgusting all right this is a cover of a Chris Monette song let's dance probably the second biggest hit off of my team maybe they were big into surf music like they were actually like and if you listen to them talk about their music they're talking about how the feedback is is adding you know tonal structure instead of like I think they're actually way better at what they're doing than what you think but they disguise it as being very very simple but I was just wondering what's what's your guys dance style they're talking about the twist the stop the mashed potato what's your go-to dance move do you have a do you have a move Aaron when you
[78:00]were out on the dance floor or not yeah I kind of I like to keep it kind of low-key but I like to do a little bit I try to I try to move the feet a little bit I try to get some footwork into it but not too much and maybe just like do a little elbow kick once in a while Aaron is putting on one shiny glove okay so he's about to show us I think something pretty great he's doing the lean forward like in the Annie video he's like yeah I think Russell the key for being a guy dancing is you cannot let your hands get above your shoulders that is true when you're dancing if you're like this I'm dancing I'm doing my normal dancing I'm fine I'm fine but watch this whoa what's going on up here it's a weird white guy tornado you cannot I just knocked over my monitor you cannot let your hands get above your shoulders that's a disaster you can do anything below you're just going to be okay you know let's take your belt off on the dance floor you need to take your belt off on the dance floor I have found that with the guys I hang out with taking your belt off and acting like you're going to put it around your neck is a huge dance move everybody loves it I can't get enough of it go Rob go
[79:01]that's how I'm going to be remembered the guy who took off his belt at the dance floor put it around his neck it was pretty funny I don't want to walk around with you you know nowadays it's not going to be I don't want to walk around with you too this was essentially my response to dates at some points when I was getting too sweaty when it got too hot to go for dates for a walk I was like I don't want to walk around with you this is so good I should have done this as my parody song I like how I like how the if the first part of the song would just be I don't want to walk around it's just kind of a lazy song and then it just turns kind of angry like I don't want to walk around with you Matt I want to uber around with you that's what I want to do today your love tomorrow the world and the album I actually this is one of my favorite songs on the whole album and the
[80:00]reason is if you listen toward the end I think there's a gorgeous change and then this album will jump out listen yeah that's cool oh there you go that's very cool and I could see myself being like an angry teen in the 70s being like yeah tomorrow the world Matt do you like this as the close of the album a little change up at the very end for me it really doesn't matter we've lost Matt already Matt well folks listen I do think this is kind of the same song repeated 14 times but that song repeated 14 times is good I like it let's get into the very popular and patented rating system and now it's time for everybody from the show the power of the very people that did it better rating system oh yeah
[81:02]waterbed queen three years old great deal by the way no capitals in this ad waterbed queen three years old great deal paid 2100 selling 250 so somebody paid 2100 now you know in my world that's not too much for a mattress but size all options all options what do you think that means all options like it's a sack that holds water like what are the options you could have with a waterbed makes no sense great condition yeah I hope so that's the point of the water bed it's a great condition can you pick it up at 53rd and 3rd or not oh my god can you imagine a prank where you're at home and you just replace your bed with a waterbed and then you videotape your wife getting to bed and then you videotape her sleeping in the bed and you send it to me and thank you for keep doing it I really appreciate it sleeps one or two people yes I hope so it is a queen-size bed I hope it sleeps two this might say something about the guy selling it where it's like sleeps one just on a plane by
[82:00]Russell covered in Cheeto cheese oh you want to buy this water bed or what two chambers or two people two chambers what's a chamber I assume that's like how the bed is set up like you can so maybe it's a water bed but you can deflate one chamber so you're just on one half of the bed and then when you roll over there's just nothing and you fall to the bottom of the bed oh my god you will feel great after sleeping on this great like new water bed hey listen the guy can write copy I gotta hand him that that's so good all right let's get into everybody for the remotes and you do probably with a grammy water bed for sale water bed for sale water bed for sale you know how strong I am that I didn't just continue doing that joke for the next minute to less to be stressed baby you guys don't talk about all right listen this is our popular
[83:00]and patented rating system where we first talk about queen-size water beds and wonder how they work but then we talk about the Ramones album 46 guys we're almost 10% of the way through this list and we're already just staring at each other like we're so bored so we have a couple options for our rating system those of you that haven't listened before and are still listening wow thank your nurse for having us on in the hospital we appreciate it you can is this a rolling on Delta Airlines is this a rolling well toned listen this album at 46 chef's kiss it's so great we love it is this a rolling grown you didn't like this album it should be higher up on the list and in that case higher up on the list you might think oh it's going toward the top no it's actually going higher up toward the bottom of the list makes sense if you think about it it's kind of like a roller coaster to go lower you got to go higher first you guys know what I'm talking about and then is it a rolling boned okay did this album get boned it should be way up on the list
[84:00]which unlike the roller coaster is actually the beginning of the list that we started at so we're kind of like a roller coaster where actually if you think about it the albums we listen to guys are the best ones we're going to listen to it's going downhill from here okay this is the top album we're going to listen to for the next 454 albums okay not a big deal 454 albums we're doing about two hours of podcast 109,000 1,000 hours guys Malcolm Gladwell would be so proud of us by the end of this this is gonna be great so anyway the rolling system Russell you heard it what do you think I really like the beginning of the album I thought the songs were super fun they're super catchy you could be driving along to this and blasting it in your car and you're super fun to listen to I'm kind of torn because part of me thought I can't believe it's just the same song for this long but it's not that long it's only 35 minutes but it's to me it's the same song for the whole album so I'm gonna say rolling boned I really enjoyed it but I don't really understand how one one song for 35 minutes can can be this high on the list rolling bone
[85:01]wait rolling grown rolling grown I think it's too high on the list it's too high on the list it should be lower that one song sparked a whole genre of music right I mean that's the deal with this like hey Rob Rob if you want to rank the album why don't you rank the album when it's your turn when it's my turn I'll say it's rolling grown and if you want me to be repeated over and over for 30 minutes I can do that okay so we've now entered the phase of the podcast where everybody hates each other we've entered the part of the Ramones where we're gonna do the podcast and then when we're done we immediately shut down don't say anything to each other don't text each other get back on for our next 2,000 concerts it's craziness rolling grown Rosie what do you think rolling well toned rolling boned or rolling grown yeah I had a lot of fun it's perfect rolling bone is when it got screwed over and rolling grown is when you didn't like it rolling well toned is when you're in the exact middle of the waterbed and you're not tilting too far one way you found that middle ground that's so hard to do yeah that's tough I had a lot of fun listening to this album I found it was
[86:01]good for certain like activities like when I was grilling or working out I thought that was great 180 beats 180 beats per minute one of the fastest beats in the world out there every time I finished this album I needed a palate cleanser every time I finished it I wanted to put on Marvin Gaye Curtis Mayfield anything with some rhythm and some some decent drumming and I yeah I think it's really fun the highs are super high but it's the same thing over and over again I just can't imagine that among the next 454 albums we're not going to hear something better than this one so I gotta say rolling grown your kid shows up tomorrow he's wearing like a leather jacket and jeans oh no I don't know he's like turn it up dad he's like I love the doors oh right Aaron's been blasting Raffi or whatever in the background for the last day and his son's pissed like I don't want to walk around with you anymore dad Matt what do you think rolling grown rolling grown this was not my
[87:01]favorite album I did not enjoy listening to it by the way I've already edited out a lot of Matt saying how much he didn't like the album if you guys didn't hear that check out the edit the editing room floor there's not much else that I could say without going into the negative and we all know this podcast we do not go negative we do not go negative we don't we're positive guys yeah so this was not for me so that means I did not like it but it means it should be higher on the list so it got rolling so this is a rolling grown there you go all right guys I'll tell you what this for me is a rolling simplification they took everything that was awesome about music and just distilled it down to a song and guess what yeah it's not the most complicated thing you heard but this is what inspired everybody to be like I don't need to know shit about music right I don't need to play I don't need to be Led Zeppelin I don't need to be awesome at guitar I don't need to be David Bowie with a great look and like these crazy songs where
[88:00]they all hook together and they're gonna I can talk about hitting a brat with a baseball bat and it's like literally a great song okay blitzkrieg bop not once did we ask what is a blitzkrieg bop we probably don't want to know what's they were singing about it rocks that song is awesome if this whole album yeah did I get super tired after listening to it yes I did but it's just like it's it oh I mean it's 180 beats way too fast that's too fast of a speed you're gonna get tired going that fast it's so driving it's like Aaron's wife you know what I mean it's like Aaron's in the backseat that sounded bad when I said that god damn it driving like Aaron's wife I meant that she drives you around it sounds she does I say it she's guys next up we have the question you know what I got a question that I the next album is going to answer it I've got so many strawberries here what should I do with them and the answer is we're jamming we got Bob Marley with the Bob Marley and the Wailers greatest hits on Beck did it better when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all
[89:00]time but you're just too lazy to look it up online if you want to hear four guys who chat and then they get off track you're back I've got the perfect podcast for you Jack Beck did it better yep my recursive is back in line
