Chuck Berry: The Great Twenty-Eight (1982)

[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by

[00:04]rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the

[00:08]order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research

[00:13]all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better

[00:18]folks this is album 51 from 1982 but really all the music is from the 50s and 60s this is the

[00:25]great 28 by chuck berry so folks uh you know it is the summer and in the summer it is a classic

[00:31]minnesota tradition to go up to the cabin followed only by another classic minnesota tradition

[00:36]to realize that your family drives you absolutely crazy at the cabin so let's listen

[00:41]let's listen to and and that's why i i really do believe that this is going to be

[00:47]the next hit song of the summer

[00:49]up in the morning at 5 33 yes

[00:55]i'm driving up north of my family

[00:58]for decent weather i say a prayer yeah my extended family will all be there

[01:05]three hours later we get on the road my wife tells me again she doesn't want to go

[01:13]we stop on the way to get some groceries

[01:16]it only costs 630 we finally arrive in late afternoon

[01:25]the kids want a tube behind the pontoon yeah i just need to go and buy some gas

[01:31]my wife disappears to take a nap

[01:35]when you finally come back from town you add the gas and the boat breaks down

[01:42]oh that's the worst you paddle back in a real bad mood

[01:46]but all the little kids have eaten your food oh no the kids are now playing out back

[01:55]and learning from their cousin the pyromaniac

[01:57]they tell you don't cook as well as your brother-in-law

[02:04]at the end of the day you try to go to sleep

[02:08]the temp at night is 103 yes you and the kids sleep in the same room

[02:16]for 17 people there's one bathroom

[02:19]oh no

[02:20]the kids are cranky because they're tired and they don't want to go to bed

[02:24]except at 10 30 at night they're totally wired

[02:29]that's when the sun decides to show

[02:36]that's the biggest bullshit isn't it

[02:38]you use vacation days to come to the lake

[02:40]but going back to work will seem like a break

[02:43]yep

[02:44]that was only semi-autobiographical

[02:51]is that true

[02:52]just too lazy to look it up on the screen

[02:54]the problem is it's not funny because it's all true

[03:53]by the way i was putting on my vr goggles and i saw my sister coming in so i did the

[03:59]playing on the big radio joke but i did it toward her she goes what the hell are you doing i go oh

[04:04]it was a joke uh uh i was like oh no what a what a backfire what a disaster i've got matt in

[04:09]minneapolis matt how are you doing good rob ready to flush all that negativity from that uh cabin

[04:15]song and get right into it here great uh and i've got aaron who doesn't look a day over 14 aaron how

[04:21]are you doing today

[04:23]that's way worse what beauty is look a day over 14 i'm i'm just here drinking from my wooden cup

[04:29]and excited to get this going so let's oh my god let's talk some rock and roll he does have a wooden

[04:35]cup this is a shout out my dad who is a listener of the podcast this is a oakland a's commemorative

[04:42]wooden cup that is made from a bat and then has uh the oakland skyline as well as the names of the

[04:48]uh players on the team that particular year i think they got their ass kicked by tampa in the

[04:53]hog card uh that particular that particular year but i'm a big a's fan and i had a wooden cup

[04:58]which uh jived with chuck berry's lyrics so i wanted to bust it out for tonight

[05:02]that's good i was wondering where i was going to make my first edit of the podcast but now i know

[05:06]where you talk about how the a's did i'm why aren't you worried drinking out of that that

[05:10]cup though isn't that how coronavirus started there's not a it's not a pangolin cup oh it's a

[05:16]bat though it's a uh all right so let's get right into it today we have a text to the bex line and

[05:24]i'll give you a hint it's actually from my best friend okay so let's let's listen to the whole

[05:29]bex jenny yes jenny is my best friend uh why are you laughing so hard to sell edit out how hard i

[05:39]laugh when you mention that my wife is my best friend all right voicemail or to bex line to bex

[05:46]line i know this is just going to prove my doubt she pushing my glasses up my nose wagging my

[05:52]finger fact-checking self but erin's repeated misunderstanding of endless nameless is the last

[05:57]song on nevermind needs to be corrected that was always meant as a secret song that came in about

[06:02]10 minutes after the album proper ends with something in the way nirvana meant it as a joke

[06:07]and the rest of nevermind shouldn't be judged off of it magic mike 69 and a half and that's what i

[06:13]call my penis all right thank you magic mike

[06:16]69 coming in hot with the fact check so finally we find out that erin actually doesn't know jack

[06:20]shit about music so apparently that last track on nirvana was a hidden track erin what do you

[06:26]have to say about that i have to issue an apology i was not aware that it was a hidden track i still

[06:30]think it's unnecessary but yeah i guess if you were listening on cd there would have been

[06:34]several minutes of silence before you heard uh the rest of that so i i i will strike those mentions

[06:42]from my future comments on nirvana i still think there are times when maybe

[06:46]number six is too high for nevermind as much as i do like nevermind but uh i was i was incorrect

[06:51]you gotta be correct on this stuff the rest of us don't know the difference between offspring

[06:56]and oasis and if you don't know that this is a secret track we're all gonna look bad so don't

[07:00]apologize rob don't let him apologize can i can i just say something speaking of of people not

[07:05]knowing the music i have to point out a great joke that erin actually had last week and i just want

[07:11]to point this out real good because i thought it was so funny i clipped it so here's a joke where

[07:14]we are talking about uh the doors how uh jay-z covered a door song last week so listen to this

[07:20]she was looking for her husband and she's gonna go to the carlisle no shoot that's the wrong clip

[07:26]oh no for the people for the people that can't see what's going on the whole time erin was telling

[07:33]his story rob was searching through all his clips looking for the beck did a better apology

[07:37]and so i started talking to fill time so you could find it and then you got to it and then

[07:42]he's looking for a different joke

[07:44]and rosie i think you're talking about something in the way as like not a good last song right not

[07:52]that endless nameless song no i was talking about something i mean i don't know that i'd love

[07:56]something in the way i think i'd have to go back and listen i'm but i was talking about

[08:01]endless nameless when i've said this before something in the way sounds like a bad bin

[08:06]of protein powder that i got and speaking of good jokes here's another good joke all right so now we

[08:14]get to the first diss track of the album the takeover oh i heard this one some doors sample

[08:20]in here is this the doors of the ramones on the sand that beat that beat just crushes and then

[08:24]you hear us just talk right over that joke we just do not go back to that joke we do not go back to

[08:29]it also erin i do have to say that is a good joke make in front of russ and i salute you we don't

[08:34]make fun of me that's too easy that's like shooting fish in a barrel that's not i just wanted you guys

[08:38]to know that i am paying attention to what you say i just sometimes have to call back to the

[08:42]things that you say because you all are what are you talking about i don't know i don't know what you

[08:44]guys when people ask me to describe the podcast now i do just say well we have a guy who confused

[08:49]the doors and the ramones and that gets a laugh every single time that's not even close to my

[08:54]worst one though i don't think i'll take that as a compliment and my mom also has made more than

[08:58]one sitting in front with the driver joke since we've recorded the best of so we're she's still

[09:03]burning on you russell it's just so great whatever she said to be your mom her whole life she's been

[09:10]through enough but i'm not even whatever i was underweight when i came out of the car

[09:14]all right so uh aaron we officially apologize to magic i do apologize but i am going to go back

[09:23]and listen between now and next week i'm going to re-listen to something in the way and i might

[09:27]be right hey magic like absolutely nobody better podcast oh yeah you don't know what you want magic

[09:34]mike get out get the hell out of here you're stupid i may not be wrong all right so let's get

[09:40]into everybody's favorite part of the podcast

[09:44]rolling going

[09:45]i tried to be excited about it but then i realized i'm outside where i think my family

[09:52]can hear me through the window so i also had to be quiet so i'd be like

[09:54]all right rolling going russell how's it going with you rolling going we were talking about

[10:01]being back up at the cabin being up north with the family i was up north with my family last

[10:05]week and i was maybe going to tell you guys about some of the the hardships i had with being with

[10:10]the family for a week but we don't need to go over that rob's covered in the song but one thing

[10:14]did get to do when i was up north is up north has a few small casinos and you guys know the three of

[10:20]us four of us have been to vegas numerous numerous times over the year we've probably been seven or

[10:25]eight times over the last seven eight years and so i decided i was going to go up to this little

[10:29]casino no and play a little bit of blackjack without you guys oh how did it go well russell

[10:36]did let me let me ask you this here's the only thing you need to know about a successful trip

[10:39]to a northern minnesota casino yeah did you get stabbed

[10:44]i did not but i might have got from sitting on the seat the third seat at the one blackjack table

[10:50]may have given me something you're the winner if you did not get stabbed at a northern minnesota

[10:55]casino congrats my casino i'll give you a brief overview of experience then i had a few questions

[11:03]about casino etiquette that i thought i would run by you guys it's been a while since we've been

[11:06]there and i'm used to going gambling with you guys with friends and when you're not there with

[11:11]friends and when you're there with all strangers it's a little bit different but

[11:14]so i went and i won i won 200 bucks oh yeah i didn't go until the very last day i was like i

[11:19]don't want to go and i don't want to start a trend of going and losing a bunch of money up there so i

[11:23]waited till the last day i went won 200 bucks and i came home and then i was like oh i need to go

[11:28]back i need to go back and i lost my 200 right back so i eventually broke even but breaking even

[11:38]is winning i guess when you're having fun right yes so would you say that was a fun time like

[11:43]when you were sitting there were you ever like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm

[11:44]like oh i'm having fun actually not really i was not having fun and i for me blackjack is a very

[11:51]social game i want to play with my friends where you can joke back and forth i don't want to play

[11:55]with with people i don't know and i i'll say this i know i can be a loud and annoying blackjack

[12:01]player when we play we're always singing songs we're joking around with the dealers and whatnot

[12:05]i can't stand i can't stand playing with loud annoying blackjack players when i'm not part of

[12:11]the group oh they're they're they're

[12:14]people having fun and you had to be the fun police and step in and say it was more like it's not it's

[12:19]not fair to say part of the group russell you're generally the leader of the pack when it comes to

[12:23]yes playing blackjack making friends with the dealer that's you know you're not just part of

[12:28]the group exactly you've talked about this before though when you see things in other people it

[12:32]reflects upon what you see in yourself yeah and so when i saw these younger guys being really loud

[12:37]and really annoying i was like oh god i hate my it was just more more sad honestly because i know

[12:44]as loud as that guy but i'm that guy so i thought what i could do though is other than the fact that

[12:49]i i went and didn't have as much fun because i wasn't with you guys i thought i could i could

[12:53]bring up some moments that i had at the blackjack table and i i think i know how you guys might

[12:58]think about some of these but it's been more than a year since i've played and it's been a long time

[13:03]since i haven't played with friends so i wanted to see if you guys thought these types of things

[13:07]were okay at the blackjack table can i run those by you let's do it wait now now what is your clever

[13:12]name for this segment russell okay i'll edit this out but how about um bust or big bust yes

[13:19]so this segment is called bust or big bust oh boy boom

[13:27]so here's so the first the first scenario i gotta ask you guys

[13:36]i've played with all you guys for blackjack for a long time for the most part i think we all

[13:41]generally play by the blackjack table but i think we all generally play by the blackjack table

[13:42]we might have a few things we do that are a little bit off but what do you do when you're

[13:46]playing blackjack with people that literally have no idea what they're doing they're hitting

[13:50]they're hitting on 16s against a six they're splitting tens against a six they're doing

[13:56]everything wrong and sometimes dealers will kind of step in and help them but as a player at the

[14:01]table is it your obligation or should you just be quiet let them play do you get annoyed what's

[14:06]your style when people don't know what they're doing what did not is this like a five dollar

[14:12]ten dollar table this is like the minimum hundred dollar table it was a ten dollar table which was

[14:16]the only table at the casino oh no okay if it's like a a ten dollar you know like we're in vegas

[14:22]usually like ten dollars is the little you know sometimes 15 something like that like that's

[14:28]that's where you just throw whatever preconceived notions you have about blackjack if you're going

[14:33]to play at that table you have to just say whatever and get out of the get out of the

[14:37]way if that makes sense eventually those people hopefully they lose all their money as soon as

[14:42]possible and they get out sometimes it helps you right i mean we had the famous iowa double down

[14:47]all of a sudden this just came in and helped the whole table you know things like that so

[14:51]can you explain what the official term iowa double down means for all our people i tried

[14:57]you know i have tried this is the only thing i've ever tried to get on wikipedia and it got denied

[15:01]because it's not real damn it it is real it is real it is real so if if i have it right we've got a

[15:10]hard 12 which means oh yeah

[15:12]a 10 and a 2 yes it's it's not an ace involved you've got a hard 12 the dealer's got us that's

[15:18]what i call my penis that's what i call my penis i just hate when i get that hard three it's so

[15:24]embarrassing that's what i'm gonna start you've got a hard 12 and the dealer's got a six yep

[15:32]that's what i call my penis i don't know i don't have any other joke i'm just waiting you just

[15:37]you're just happy today so i'm just you gotta have something right with all these i'm always happy

[15:41]so the dealer's got a six

[15:42]and you double that shit right yeah and the way this came up was that somebody from iowa one time

[15:49]did this an actual real life casino play with a group of people i still i'm not sure and then

[15:55]he ended up like getting like a 19 or something and the dealer ended up no i think he got like a

[16:01]four so the dealer had the six and then a 10 would have had a 20 we all would have lost

[16:06]but because he doubled down the dealer ended up busting so the whole table won

[16:12]so that instantly that's how and just let everybody know not all heroes wear capes that's

[16:17]something that happens probably at 2 30 in the morning about eight years ago and it's something

[16:21]we talk about every year for hours at a time we bring it up every time we we yell about it we

[16:26]talk about it has become lore now the iowa double down much to aaron's chagrin

[16:30]so put a little color on this the iowa double down has always been a thing in my world i've

[16:36]always called it doubling on a hard 12 and my favorite part about it is when you do it

[16:40]it's kind of so dumb that the

[16:42]dealer has to announce that you're doing it like yes that's true double like a hard 12

[16:47]and everyone's looking around like what the hell's going on but the reason i think it's

[16:51]called an iowa double down is our friend jake at one point had seen that we were doing this

[16:56]and he said the only people that are dumb enough to do this are people from iowa and that is why

[17:02]it's called an iowa double down folks if you are listening to this and you are part of our friend

[17:06]group who knows why we call it an iowa double down text in and to the beck line 802-277 beck and tell

[17:12]us why do we call it an iowa double down none of us seem to know but it is uh the truth and it will

[17:16]be on wikipedia soon probably and if you are one of our loyal listeners from iowa please know that

[17:20]i have defended our state's honor on so many occasions i'll tell you what russ if it's not

[17:24]your money i don't think you can tell people what to do at the black table but

[17:28]out and i i often look to you guys for advice when we're at the blackjack table together

[17:36]but i feel the same about weird weird blackjack players as i do about like weird internet people

[17:42]where you read a weird conspiracy theory and you're like well that's crazy and then you start

[17:46]thinking like well do they wait do they know something that i don't know should maybe they're

[17:50]is this wait should i be thinking about this differently so like when i sit at the table

[17:54]with people acting weird i start thinking wait should i be really rethinking how i'm playing

[17:58]do they know something i don't after the last podcast aaron sent us like 10 texts about chem

[18:02]trails with question marks afterwards he was like maybe maybe they know something

[18:05]you know we don't know hey maybe beck did do it better than all these bands yeah exactly

[18:12]okay russell so what else how do you avoid getting stabbed they only have one table

[18:16]open because the other one is covered in blood from somebody getting stabbed the night

[18:19]so there's essentially only the one table open so that does change things a little bit but the

[18:24]next thing was you're there you're sitting at a pretty full table and the new guy shows up and

[18:29]the new guy decides i'm playing two hands the guy who plays or the lady who plays two hands at a

[18:35]what do you think of the person who needs to play two hands at the table first i'll ask are they

[18:41]playing how

[18:42]you would expect a two-handed player to play like are they playing like by the book kind of a thing

[18:47]or at least this person was playing the table minimum and not playing by the book oh no

[18:52]well if they play the only solace you get out of that is just watching this guy crash and burn and

[19:00]then they get mad at the dealer because somehow it's the dealer's fault that this guy's a dumbass

[19:04]right so the uh the ancillary shit show that's going on with that guy is the entertainment for

[19:10]the while for a little while right there you're not playing the table minimum and not playing by

[19:12]the book you kind of forget the cards just play the minimum but just watch that guy just crash

[19:15]by the way i want people to understand like when russell is talking about a northern minnesota

[19:19]casino you might be picturing like what you think of as a casino especially some of our nevada

[19:23]listeners out there what you actually need to picture is picture that if you gave yourself

[19:28]like a month and you said i'm going to build a casino out of things i have around the house

[19:32]and i'm going to put it together that's what this casino looks like it's going to be in a church

[19:37]basement yeah exactly the one in the one i when i when i lived up in world the one i lived up in

[19:42]was literally like a blow-up like they would have for like playing tennyson or whatever

[19:45]and they kept meaning to put in like solid walls and they just never did so it was like walking

[19:49]into this little metrodome people got stabbed there all the time very dangerous because it

[19:53]was a blow-up area so you had to be careful with sharp objects but you mentioned this though matt

[19:57]you mentioned kind of watching the people next you go down in flames i started wondering if this

[20:01]makes me a bad person oh no when you're sitting there and you're willing to lose just to watch

[20:06]other people lose like you're happy when the table loses just because the asshole next to you you want

[20:11]him to lose you're happy when the table loses just because the asshole next to you you want him to

[20:12]lose and again leave like does that make you a bad person when you're willing to lose

[20:16]hand after hand just to get rid of someone or not only only if you laugh out loud so they turn and

[20:22]look at you that's the only time you're enjoying it silently it's hard to hold in the laughter

[20:28]sometimes isn't it russell watch i did laugh out loud once or twice because the one guy like you

[20:32]said that was getting really angry it's always the dealer's fault and then and then they got mad over

[20:37]whether they were clear on the hit or stay sign and then they oh no they claimed they'd stayed and

[20:42]didn't and then the the pit boss had to come over and warn this guy and said you have to be very clear

[20:46]about this and at one point the guy just got so pissed and he goes just leave me alone just get

[20:50]away from me right now and so i wanted that like i was willing to lose hand after hand just to watch

[20:55]the eruption the last thing the last the last situation i was going to ask you guys about

[20:59]being up at the up north casino and this will normally happen in vegas it happens to us quite

[21:03]a bit because we're not big spenders maybe matt is matt metal for some of those big chips out there

[21:08]and i am too how do you guys handle blackjack when you're

[21:12]playing next to someone for a while it was just me and one other guy and he was betting quite a

[21:16]bit of money so he was betting 200 bucks a hand oh my god and then would get into the splits and

[21:20]doubles and he had a hand where i think he had 1200 on one hand how do you handle playing with

[21:26]someone who's betting significantly more money where you're worried if you do something wrong

[21:31]there's going to be a complete destruction of the building yeah matt is matt is loquacious today go

[21:37]ahead man i'm going to step in one more time again you're at the table minimum right and

[21:42]if this guy is not at like one of the high roller tables or something then all bets are off he he

[21:48]knows who he's playing with i mean you just keep playing whatever that guy that guy he might as

[21:52]well be betting betting five bucks i'll tell you what you don't care yeah when you're at this when

[21:57]you're at this casino your chances of getting stabbed you're at the table maximum for that

[22:00]so i would definitely i would definitely turn to that guy if he's got a thousand dollars out i think

[22:05]you turn to him and go what do i do what do you want me to do on this hand yeah like you could

[22:08]ask him that like if it's a 50 50 or something yeah to be fair his

[22:12]chip stack is like the endowment for the whole city so if he wins or loses there's going to be

[22:17]problems yeah that's me the one time it's happened to me in vegas and it's great it just takes the

[22:22]pressure off of you i just become that person's de facto second hand i just say yeah hey what do

[22:27]you get what do you want me to do like i just and then and then i'm there for another 10 15 whatever

[22:31]minutes and i don't have to make any choices like oh hey you got a whole bunch of money out there

[22:34]what would you do here and then i just but the real question is so let's say aaron you've got a

[22:38]twenty dollar bet out there and this guy's got a thousand dollar bet

[22:42]deep down do you want to win your hand more than you want him to win or not

[22:46]oh yeah yes for sure you care about your hand not his yeah i always want to win my hand right

[22:51]yeah i was i don't know but it's still it's still a game of chance you can play it by the book and

[22:55]get your ass kicked as has happened to me plenty times so if i just leave it to fate or some other

[23:02]external force then i don't have to worry about it it's just like that sign aaron has in his garage

[23:06]you know capitalism number one it's like if they have more money they get to tell you what to do

[23:10]i think that's right so i agree

[23:12]i would turn to the guy and be like what do you want me to do and then i would do the opposite

[23:15]i'd be like nobody controls me before we move on i have to say we've been to vegas many times and

[23:22]sometimes you see people that are down on their luck they're just sitting there and they they're

[23:26]had too much to drink too much of other things they've lost all their money they're just sitting

[23:30]there and it looks brutal when you're at a at a up north casino and there's like the random guys

[23:37]just sitting like slouched over at the at the machine playing the penny

[23:42]slots it it is just not good it is not a good site and he went twice let's be let's be clear

[23:48]it was so bad he went back to check it out again russell's like i love visiting my family well

[23:55]after the most depressing place in the world twice honestly i had to go when when i've reached

[24:00]my uncle russ point of like okay i'm about to blow up on these kids and they will never let me again

[24:06]so i'm like i just need to go to the casino i i can't take these kids fishing one more time and

[24:10]that it was only like the third time and i'm like i can't take these kids fishing one more time and

[24:12]i was like i can't do it again russell my my reel is all tangled you just look and it's like an

[24:17]explosion happened on the reel they're just lying all over it's not it's not fun when you tell your

[24:22]nieces and nephews it looks way too windy out there when there's no wind on the lake you don't

[24:25]want to go back in that boat oh that looks rough out there guys you've ever seen perfect storm

[24:34]this is bad you need a little wind here

[24:37]all right matt rolling going how's it going with you

[24:42]uh good good i got a couple things on my list today um first i i actually watched an nba basketball

[24:49]game wow i watched game six great game um i i i do like watching when you know championships

[24:56]can be won things like that but i i don't know did you guys catch did you guys watch anybody watch it

[25:02]yeah no i'm out that's good so at the end of this end of the game right you know milwaukee wins

[25:12]five and they're looking at giannis and the rest of the guys and all this stuff so then they're

[25:15]going to go to the trophy ceremony right and the trophy ceremony comes out and adam silver the

[25:20]commissioner says and now the world champion milwaukee bucks and who do you think grabs the

[25:26]trophy it's got to be giannis he's the star of the team no it's probably it's the team owner i

[25:31]bet it's the dumb shit team owner who's got like the t-shirt on over his suit and just looking in

[25:36]the hat it just looks horrible and so there's three team owners i guess for milwaukee and

[25:42]each of them did the old uh hoisting of the cup thing right and then they put it down and they

[25:47]didn't give it to any of the players that is about the worst thing ever yeah it's just terrible team

[25:53]team owners just take their ridiculous profits and just sit back in the back and come out later

[25:59]anyway like just lay back for a day guys i for one feel bad for the team owners okay why does

[26:06]it be one thing if you like cheer for a sports team and they suck okay like i've done that i'm

[26:11]that team and you also had to cheer and they still sucked you'd be like god they suck oh it's

[26:16]all my fault god dang and i'm terrible like it would just be you know it's like when your kid

[26:20]does something really dumb and you're watching him do it and you're like yep that's just what

[26:24]i would have done at that age too well my kid's dumb like me that's too bad yep so good for them

[26:29]good for all of our cheesehead friends to the east over there thank goodness we are going to have i

[26:35]haven't run this by you guys but i'm just gonna commandeer it anyways we're gonna have our first

[27:16]the four yeah and then then i'll invite russell and he won't come anyway so it'll just be like

[27:22]technically matt would probably invite me and i would show up and he wouldn't be there and he

[27:28]wouldn't show up for like the next two hours that's how it's generally gone in those situations

[27:31]i get it i get it okay so october 24th all minnesota people will be going to rolling stones

[27:38]so you know we'll figure that out when it gets a little closer awesome

[27:41]the last thing i got on my list is i just i i didn't know how nostalgic i'd be about what we

[27:49]did today the boys and i we went to the richfield public pool were you guys public pool kids growing

[27:56]up did you go to the yeah and i just i it was like we were in the pool i went to a country club

[28:01]because i also did golf and tennis lessons alternating days but the country club pool

[28:07]was also pretty busy there were a lot of people there and it was sometimes like sometimes it was

[28:11]because sometimes you know you'd forget your account number for having to order lunch at the

[28:15]little snack bar and you'd have to bring cash did you go in the men's restroom yeah was there anyone

[28:22]else in there with you no exactly that's what i'm talking about at pools go into that men's

[28:27]restroom there's never anybody else there it makes you think how do they have all those

[28:33]ices they've got nowhere there's no one in here man we got matt we should start a public pool

[28:38]memories podcast i could do this all day we once went to a dive in they did a dive in a dive in a

[28:41]dive in movie that was the goonies you brought your floaty floated in the pool watch the goonies

[28:46]how amazing is that that sounds awesome so much p so much p i do have to admit i also now belong

[28:53]to a private pool on roosevelt island as well in new york so it's it's private my kids don't know

[28:59]my kids would never be they'd be a pool with other people here anyway so do you have to reserve time

[29:03]or do you just show up or how does it work rob i used to have to reserve time but now now you can

[29:07]just show up but now that i've been gone i've just been giving my name and my wife's name to other

[29:11]people and they go so i feel like i'm getting my money's worth by helping other people go to pools

[29:15]so it's good times do you have to show them your wife's w2 to qualify for that type of pool or not

[29:21]no we used to though god it's not as much as a mattress but it's up there

[29:26]half the mattress a little more yeah it's not quite half a mattress could you get a

[29:31]quarter of a mattress is a little you could buy a couple water beds on craigslist okay

[29:36]and i don't want to get in i don't want to have but we are getting to the water

[29:41]again i recorded that in front of my family in the cabin i saw several jokes about uh how they

[29:54]installed you know um anti-sex beds at the olympic village right the olympic anti-sex beds

[30:01]yeah the olympic athletes have to sleep on cardboard because they're trying to keep them

[30:04]from shacking up with each other i was wondering what that package was at my apartment that had

[30:08]all the japanese written all over it i asked i asked jenny what it was and she's like oh it's

[30:11]just don't worry about it that makes sense for when you get back would you guys mind doing like

[30:16]a video chat where i show you my bed because something's been wrong with it for quite a while

[30:19]and maybe that's what i bought the wrong type we look and it's just like he's been buying like

[30:24]stuff you'd put down for a hamster like like wood shreds and stuff he's put it he's like oh this is

[30:28]good bedding it's like no russell you need to go to a bed bath beyond you've been going to the pet

[30:32]store in my bed this is terrible anyway the joke is they should have just done water beds because

[30:38]those are anti-sex beds but i think you guys you did it you did it one bedbed you did it one bedbed

[30:41]i don't think they're anti-sex beds i think back in the 80s i think a water bed was a sex bed i

[30:47]think that was prime prime for the time wasn't it real estate i i just think with a water bed like

[30:52]when i'm laying there i want everything to be as high above the bed as possible it needs to look

[30:55]as big as it possibly can if i'm sunk into the bed and all that's sticking up is one little glands

[31:00]i don't need that you know what i mean it's already rough enough yeah

[31:05]that horizon dips down it doesn't get quite over the horizon it's not good is

[31:11]it yeah the rest of it's so big but the glands are so small i don't know

[31:14]lord of the rings it's horse perspective uh i will say for my role in going this week i was

[31:21]talking to my friend kirsten this week and uh she had a drink we were out on a boat she had a drink

[31:26]that was kind of a cool drink i don't remember what it was and i said i said where'd you get

[31:31]this drink and she said oh what i do at the liquor store is i just look to see somebody who i want to

[31:36]be so she goes and finds like a 25 year old somebody who looks cool somebody whose dress is like cool

[31:41]and whatever they buy she just goes and buys it right with them she just goes right behind him

[31:45]and buys it and she says that every time somebody turns around and goes oh my gosh that's what i'm

[31:49]getting and she goes yeah me too and she's like yeah i do that at the liquor store and i do the

[31:54]same thing at target when i'm shopping for clothes i just find whatever people are buying that

[31:58]somebody i would want to be and then i just go buy that same thing for me do you guys ever do

[32:03]that or not no but i'm gonna start doing that matt do you ever do something like now when i'm

[32:08]traveling i'm following a 25 year old woman around target buying the same clothes i think i'm gonna get

[32:11]some looks but yeah i still think it's a good idea do you guys ever have a moment let's say

[32:16]you're out with friends or something and someone orders a beer or drink and they they order some

[32:20]sort of fancy beer and you don't really know what to get and you just said i'll have what they're

[32:24]having and then do you ever feel like you're just kind of a loser because you're just jumping on

[32:28]board with someone else like they pick a glass wine you're like i'll have the same thing or they

[32:32]pick a cocktail all of the same thing do you always get your own thing or do you ever jump

[32:35]on board with other people you're with i'd say 75 25 like i know what i want

[32:41]but sometimes you're at a fancy place or something you don't know it's a compliment

[32:45]russell hey i'll just have what they're having they know what they're talking about it's a

[32:49]compliment yeah i like it the worst russell is when i'm gonna get something and then my wife

[32:53]says that she's gonna get that same drink i'm like god damn it well we can't both order the

[32:58]same drink like that's terrible like so i i have to order a second drink it's always not as good

[33:02]as the one she gets i should just order the one i want but i just can't bring myself to be sitting

[33:06]there on a date and just ordered the same drink the two of us it's i think the move rob is it's

[33:11]i know you've been on a date with me but i'm gonna give you some dating advice i think the move is

[33:15]to order two and let jenny try both of them and let her have the one that she likes better

[33:20]i like that move so not let her order at all i like that russell take charge he's rob he's

[33:27]telling jenny's putting the hand up no hold on jenny jenny jenny jenny jenny jenny jenny jenny

[33:32]jenny i gotta grab her a little bit i'm like no don't worry i got this i'll order this don't worry

[33:37]she'll have a smile more she'll have the macaroni and cheese

[33:41]she'll have the macaroni and cheese she'll have the macaroni and cheese

[33:41]craft style she'll have eight eggs aaron we're all going how's it going with you

[33:46]uh it's going great um had a date last night with my so i well i do want to say i want to respond

[33:52]i want to respond to rob's mom go ahead did she did she put out yeah yeah usually you tell us

[34:01]afterwards there but now tell us sorry i know you usually save that for the end yeah it's the

[34:06]secret podcast you're using all of our good stuff from the secret pod the same thing as last month

[34:11]oh yeah i gotta i got a little linguine on the hike was it in the tent tortellini in the tent

[34:18]i should i should have known better i what i wanted to say was i wanted to respond to rob's mom

[34:23]i i checked with i don't like my wife about whether it's okay to call her my lady and she

[34:29]she likes that one she's okay with it so i think i you know i i do we are married i want that to

[34:34]be clear i'm not trying to skirt that issue but i like to call her my lady and she's okay with that

[34:38]so i just want to put that out there in response my re-rolling going is related to my lady so i had

[34:43]to i had to make sure to clear the air on that one which is that we bought a new credenza which

[34:49]i didn't know what that was either it's like a chest of drawers kind of thing we all know what

[34:53]that is aaron we're not idiots credenza to uh you know put our our entertainment like a media center

[35:00]but it's not a media center but i'm i'm considering streamlining my record playing apparatus so i've

[35:07]got this

[35:08]big chunky receiver and two speakers which i've spoken about on the podcast wait a minute wait a

[35:12]minute wait a minute we're talking about a record you hear that you hear that it's time to talk

[35:21]about parents oh the record player quarter it's been a while yeah and i do i do i do need a bit

[35:29]of advice on this so uh it turns out that with the new credenza the the the setup that i have

[35:35]is just too much and in general at this point now the

[35:38]the big chunky receiver and the two speakers are devoted only to the turntable nothing else and

[35:43]it's a it's a bit overkill so i'm considering moving on getting a single powered speaker

[35:49]that's sort of more minimalist and then i wouldn't need the the receiver and the speakers anymore it

[35:53]is an emotional decision for me because as i've discussed on the podcast it's a part of my my

[35:59]story and my lady's story so when i decide to part with the receiver and the speakers

[36:04]here's what i'm considering and i need your help i will sell

[36:08]the setup but it's going to be on a sliding scale right so i think i think the whole thing when i

[36:13]bought it would have been like 400 bucks but this was you know 15 years ago so i think if you if you

[36:18]are a person with zero records zero tapes zero cds in your collection you just want to get started

[36:23]that's a hundred dollars if you're a person with and i you guys can help me adjust the scale if

[36:29]you're a person with 10 cds records or tapes all 10 of them are greatest hits four hundred dollars

[36:38]progressive tax system right if you're a person who owns a copy of funkadelic's hardcore jollies i

[36:46]will give you the whole setup for that copy of hardcore jollies that's all that's it i just if

[36:50]you're out there listening and you need an ankyo receiver what if you're someone who your favorite

[36:55]record is without question the kokomo soundtrack yes that's fine that's totally cool yeah i like

[37:01]what russell calls a cocktail soundtrack the kokomo soundtrack difference russell's like hey

[37:06]you want to watch kokomo that movie

[37:08]i'm not trying to be a music snob about this i just i i really want to sell it to either someone

[37:14]who's gung-ho about getting started on collecting music and this is their fresh start or just

[37:18]someone who i feel the same way about listening to music as i do about someone making food at a

[37:23]restaurant i just want them to care about it i just want them even if it's like someone who owns

[37:27]50 limp biscuit cds and they've got you know bootlegs of bootlegs and you know imports and

[37:34]all of that like that's great like if that's your thing that's great i just want someone to care

[37:37]about music

[37:38]what if you what if you gave it away for free and you interviewed potential buyers like you had a day

[37:42]where when you weren't when you weren't cooking linguine for those seven hours you're supposed to

[37:47]be working you literally just said yes i'm gonna give this away for free i just want a 15 minute

[37:53]conversation about music and at the end of the day you gave it to the person that you thought

[37:57]it would benefit the most how about this facebook marketplace put it for free but say you need to

[38:01]send me a message with what you know cds records top five yeah top five albums well and then you

[38:07]pick i think that'd be fun to do that and then you pick i think that'd be fun to do that and then you

[38:08]do that and let's see what you get for responses i would love to see what you get for response that

[38:11]would be that would be badass rob rob will supplement the the loss of income with revenues

[38:16]from the podcast to support your effort in that yeah you can have 120 of the revenue that we've

[38:21]made since we started honestly what you could do is auction it off and if anyone downloads one

[38:26]episode of our podcast that would probably be worth it right that would get it for free that's

[38:30]it one more download would do it so rosie rosie if somebody let's just say you're trying to sell

[38:36]this thing for a hundred bucks you've got

[38:38]um person who's got the best taste in music around you know what you're looking for ideally

[38:44]is going to pay you 100 bucks but then some just average joe who will probably just throw it in

[38:49]their back counter it's going to pay you 150 for it what would you do well i don't want it to i mean

[38:55]i wanted to go to a good home and get good use so i'd give it to the person with with great taste

[38:59]for 100 bucks but if the average joe tells me they're going to put on their back counter and

[39:03]play records on it every day and and love it no i'm saying they're going to put in their back

[39:07]shelf and it'll never see the light of day ever oh well then i'm not gonna yeah i don't want the

[39:10]extra 50 bucks i wanted to go to the guy who's giving his dog away because he doesn't want to

[39:14]take care of the dog anymore he's like well i want someone to at least feed the dog i don't

[39:17]care if he's got like a pen to run in or anything but i at least need to feed the dog and at the end

[39:23]of your facebook marketplace post be like what do you think about waterbeds and please note i have

[39:27]a small glance yeah if you can do it if you can just do a straight up swap here and that would

[39:33]be great for the content of this pod going forward well i will try to report back to you in the next

[39:37]it is going to be a a bit of a process because i'm not prepared to part with it yet so i'm going

[39:42]to get the new speaker try it out for 45 days see what i think and then and then maybe i'll be ready

[39:46]to go through this process i'll report the way to do it is to give it away to whoever writes the

[39:51]best hundred word essay on why they love music i think that's the way to do it oh and then this

[39:56]wrestle and then we'll read those and aaron i think we speak for everyone listening when they

[40:01]say what the fuck is your problem i just don't get it like i don't know like the idea like i could

[40:07]not be happier to get rid of some old ass speakers like i would i would sell my wedding

[40:11]album at this point for three dollars like who cares give me less stuff i want less stuff

[40:15]the idea that you're gonna i'm gonna trust all these speakers for 45 days like why 45 days that's

[40:21]so long like the 44th day you're like actually i hate this yeah this is i mean i'm i'm with you

[40:28]rob i'm trying to go more minimalistic but this is a particular of particular sentimental value

[40:33]to me so i've got to be careful about who i give it to guys it is time to

[40:37]get into the album that's time for nobody's favorite part of the show let's talk about the

[40:43]album oh yeah i think we should just go back to the waterbed opening for the album what

[40:49]i like the waterbed opening for the album i made that in five minutes while i was watching

[40:53]the olympics today like next to my family it's humiliating they had to do it again

[40:56]all right so let's talk about we were talking about chuck berry's great 28 like i said this

[41:00]came out in 1982 but this song is this album is actually chronological so it's kind of

[41:04]i was gonna say it's fun to listen to

[41:07]i'm not gonna go that far but it is interesting to hear like how he advanced throughout the age

[41:10]with the first song being the oldest and the last song being the newest you guys know what

[41:13]chronological means i don't have to explain it to you maybe some of our dumb shit listeners i do

[41:16]but it's interesting to think this he started coming out with songs in 55 chuck berry was

[41:21]born in 1926 right so when he was writing these songs about teenagers and like cars and fast

[41:27]cards he was 29 years old and for a lot of this he was in his 50s so when you listen to this album

[41:34]and you think about that it takes on a whole new thing when it's like

[41:37]hey here's my uncle chuck berry singing me these songs about uh you know uh teenagers and fast cars

[41:42]barely 17 oh my god and the thing is is that a lot of these songs we're gonna see they sound very

[41:48]very similar but it also is like i think we have to put his perspective a little bit when this

[41:54]album when he wrote his first song chuck berry when he came out with maybelline in 1955 the number

[41:59]one song in the country the top single of 1955 is perez prado cherry pink and blossom white and

[42:07]what is that

[42:07]this is like big band or something yeah very smooth i mean this this is no herb albert

[42:21]if you bought a waterbed and this song was playing when they delivered it i think that'd be perfect

[42:31]this is a perfect waterbed song i could listen to this all day so part of it is listening to this

[42:36]kind of keeping this perspective what he was what what the music was like at the time chuck berry was

[42:41]plagued with legal problems his entire career we've we talked in the last episode a little bit

[42:44]probably most famously got arrested for installing toilet cameras in his restaurant but he chuck berry

[42:50]became so famous as one of the early rock and rollers and a lot of people think it's because

[42:54]honestly if you listen to the music he's he you can he's got kind of the start of rock and roll

[42:59]blues country guitar you can hear what he's saying the diction is really clear and honestly he sounds

[43:06]white

[43:06]right so we're talking about with all this music we're talking about a black guy trying to break

[43:11]through music in the 50s like that would be such an impossible challenge but the fact back then

[43:16]that nobody knew what he looked like um i i think probably really probably really helped him he went

[43:22]into chess records to do an audition chess records already had rob rob you know about auditions i've

[43:27]seen the purple links you click on you know about auditions right i actually now we're getting into

[43:34]russell's now we're getting yeah

[43:36]layers back aaron's nodding so big oh my god aaron is like

[43:41]is that one guy what i don't get about that guy right because you can tell it's the same guy for

[43:45]all those auditions he must be so tired like every day he's like oh god i gotta do another audition

[43:53]like what do they tell him like okay i'll do an audition every 12 hours like i don't it could

[43:57]never work for me there's no way it's great 28 auditions would not work for me i've probably

[44:03]only got a great 24 auditions trust me every time i go into a job interview

[44:06]i pray to see that black leather couch i can i'm just like please yeah aaron laughed at that i know

[44:12]what's going on um so he went in and he played a couple blues songs and this the chess brothers

[44:18]already had muddy waters and howlin wolf and the legend is that his edition went so bad they said

[44:23]what's the worst song that you have and so he played a song that he had called and he ended

[44:28]up calling it maybelline put it out and it became like pretty much an instant classic

[44:32]and chuck berry then would tour the country but he never toured with a band

[44:36]because he would have to pay him so much so there's a ton of videos online if you watch

[44:39]chuck berry to play live where he's playing like in europe with a band that's never heard the music

[44:44]and they're just following him like they would in a jazz and it's interesting and it led to so

[44:49]many bad live shows of chuck berry that so many people were mad at him counterpoint there is now

[44:54]one fantastic live recording that he did in detroit with the funk brothers

[44:58]which was later in his career i think 63 maybe uh and it rips uh the funk brothers the back

[45:06]band for the temptations and you can hear just the way the audience knows every word it's one

[45:11]of these just like great documents to rock and roll and the impact that he had on the culture

[45:15]it's fantastic but i think it was a rare you're right rob i think it was a rare event and finally

[45:21]i think that this is one of the few albums you know because aaron's always talking about in her

[45:25]space but this is one of the few albums that's actually been spent out to outer space because

[45:29]these both of these uh the johnny be good is on both the voyager 1 and voyager 2 satellites which

[45:34]are currently outside of the solar system heading off into space so if you if you want to know what

[45:40]kind of music is on space it's a guy who has gotten arrested for setting up toilet cams to

[45:44]film people watching go to the bathroom so there's hope for everybody out there you mentioned that and

[45:48]i was reading a little bit about that voyager album they essentially made this album of music

[45:52]from all these different cultures throughout the world and there's really only one pop song or rock

[45:57]song on it at the time right it's just the chuck berry song and then it's all these

[46:00]classical it's you know beethoven's fifth and other stuff like that is that right

[46:04]oh i didn't do any other research i have no idea i did a lot of time looking at his toilet cam case

[46:10]actually it's what i looked up a lot like we should get to the first step the music does

[46:16]speak for itself we should we should probably discuss it all right let's get into maybelline

[46:21]got up number five on the billboard

[46:25]this is a pretty badass start to the album don't you guys think oh absolutely

[46:32]yeah i mean they take the sort of like tennessee two-step that was

[46:36]popular in some records and they get louder and then motivating over the hill i mean all this

[46:43]stuff you can hear just in that brief clip it's like that's the beatles that's dylan that's the

[46:47]rolling stones there would be none of those people without chuck berry they were all trying to do

[46:51]what he did so again we're talking like 1955 right that song was based on a song by bob

[46:58]willis or not by but it's an old country song called ida red here's ida red for you oh bob willis

[47:02]and the playboys jesus christ put those magazines down wait isn't that what they were called

[47:08]you're correct it's texas playboys i don't know what the band is called but you don't have to pull

[47:13]the magazines up yeah aaron's like actually i'm more into hustler this also rips i mean no doubt

[47:19]like no disrespect to bob willis and the texas playboys can you imagine if we get like a cease

[47:24]and desist from bob willis and the texas playboys for besmirching them on this podcast tonight

[47:29]bring it on bob

[47:32]i just want to circle back talking about those hustlers a little bit because you'd open them up

[47:36]and you'd be like

[47:37]it is time to look at pornography and then there's like girls keen in there and you're

[47:44]like what is going on it blew my mind oh yeah oh 100 100 i swear to god i'm not trying to play

[47:52]like i have seen a playboy in my life but i've definitely never seen a hustler that's that's

[47:56]real smut yeah it's it was it was like to the point where you're like i don't i think i'm a

[48:02]bad person like it really made me question like what kind of person you were guys listen enough

[48:06]about people peeing and taking pictures of it let's talk more about chuck berry uh this is 30

[48:10]days now i'm gonna i'm gonna do you hear something similar between maybelline and 30 days no wait a

[48:16]minute is it is it everything is it the only one maybelline maybelline maybelline i do love the

[48:25]background singers here though he said this is a tribute to hank williams

[48:31]there's a pretty badass guitar solo on this later on in the song so this does hammer from a guitar

[48:42]perspective i don't know where chuck berry i think he's in the top five or six all-time guitar

[48:46]players but there are some pretty badass solos on here yeah it is i mean obviously like you again

[48:51]you have to think about this is not being released as an album these are released as singles so like

[48:55]you're not hearing maybelline right after and then hearing 30 days on the same album so it would be

[48:59]kind of fun to be like oh here's a new chuck berry single i'm gonna

[49:01]put it on but man a lot of these sound that i picked a lot of these songs starting from the

[49:06]very beginning and you're going to hear that opening bar a lot and a lot of times uh this

[49:12]is just like when i used to throw a knuckleball you can't catch me huh yeah there's no spin on it

[49:20]right man there's no spin on the knuckleball liam hendrickson the all-star game threw an 84 mile an

[49:25]hour knuckleball look at that okay so let's talk about things we care about this is actually the

[49:31]first time we talked about the beatles episode and got sued for it and john lennon had to write

[49:36]songs for the record company um because he didn't think the term coming up slowly on flat or what

[49:42]was it here come old flat top you come grooving up slowly that's yeah come together but he was

[49:46]like nobody will know i stole those lyrics all right too much monkey business here's a little

[49:55]guitar solo you guys were mentioning the beatles and all the bands that took from this like the

[50:00]beginning of this sounds like a beach boy song you guys were mentioning the beatles and all the bands that took from this like the beginning of this sounds like a beach boy song

[50:01]there's five or six beach boy surfing songs that are direct ripoffs of chuck berry songs am i right

[50:07]uh yeah surfing usa is a ripoff of one of these coming up here like 100 not even not even trying

[50:14]to hide it i if you look up the wikipedia for this album 99 of the wikipedia is who covered these

[50:21]songs because these songs really like if you like the rolling stones their first single was a chuck

[50:26]berry song right like you talk to so many rock and roll people and they're like yeah chuck berry was

[50:30]an absolute giant influence

[50:31]i mean and if you listen to some of these i put in a couple guitar solos just to try to switch

[50:35]things up with these songs and he can i mean you're right russell he can jam on the guitar

[50:39]there's no doubt about it when especially when you listen to it compared to whatever that

[50:44]paisley park or whatever that band you were playing that had the other hit in 1955 or

[50:50]whatever it's so beyond whatever else was being played at the time right oh what you don't like

[50:54]you don't think this is a you don't think that this is a ripping guitar solo

[51:01]oh but that sounds good i wonder if it's a flugelhorn and not a trumpet

[51:07]aaron aaron was a 50 year old woman in 1955 he's bad all right so let's get to a brown-eyed handsome

[51:16]man this there's a i love this song this is one of my favorite songs ever there's a johnny cash

[51:23]version of the song that absolutely absolutely crushes i never knew where it came from but

[51:28]this is one of my favorite songs on the album i love listening to it i love listening to it i love

[51:31]all the lyrics are awesome it's a gem it really is a it's a super clever song i didn't know chuck

[51:37]barry wrote this song uh in their million dollar quartet uh elvis johnny cash and carl perkins you

[51:42]can hear elvis talk about what he toured with with uh chuck barry you ought to hear some of

[51:47]this stuff sitting around i'll just come off a tour with this guy chuck barry man he sat down

[51:53]behind the stage and just yeah i mean it's so funny that it's like there's elvis just basically

[52:01]he played a bunch of stuff and i think i'm gonna you know what i should do i should probably steal

[52:04]that stuff and play it and make it more famous i think that's a good right and that's interesting

[52:08]elvis is a good lead into the the racial implications i mean so you you you mentioned

[52:12]rob that that chuck barry was very clear in his intention and crossing over and worked at that

[52:18]but this song if you think about um kind of what he's saying about the the judge's wife rescuing

[52:25]the brown-eyed handsome man that's a potentially when you think that this isn't that far removed

[52:31]happened in the 40s and 50s that's a it's an intense statement to make uh and he did it in a

[52:37]poetic way but it certainly calls out uh something that would have been really controversial like

[52:42]imagine if this really happened like if the judge's wife went down to the courtroom and

[52:46]you know a brown-eyed man doesn't necessarily have to be black but he could be and if the judge's wife

[52:50]who's probably white went to the courtroom and said you got to let that guy go to keep your job

[52:54]people would you know eyebrows would be raised and and lives were lost for less so uh he's he's

[52:59]playing at something while he's not playing at something while he's not playing at something

[53:01]making great tunes well that's like that you know he came out with a you know he came out with a

[53:05]sequel to johnny be good he also came out with a sequel to this song and it's called a brown eye i

[53:10]see in my cam and that was later that was later on i see in my camp you want to get that it's funny

[53:20]but i laughed at it no it was very funny uh brown-eyed handsome man here is elvis singing

[53:24]oh

[53:26]you

[53:31]it is a bang it's it's so good

[53:35]if you are like me okay and you keep thinking to yourself

[53:42]why can't somebody go tell beethoven to fuck themselves this is the song for you roll over

[53:46]get out of here and there's a beatles cover of this one is that right yeah i think so all these

[53:55]every one of these beach boys yeah i mean the like the beatles i think they just played like

[53:59]when the beatles were playing in hamburg i think they were playing in hamburg i think they were

[54:01]basically playing chuck berry covers

[54:02]aaron i gotta ask you you you're a classical music guy you study classical music for most of

[54:09]america do you think who is at a better run beethoven the composer or beethoven the big

[54:16]saint bernard in the movie series i mean for most of america it's gotta be the movies right

[54:21]i think so i'll be honest i haven't listened to any beethoven for a long time myself so

[54:25]i think the saint bernard is at a better run than that composer it's hard to

[54:31]argue with that the box office receipts that's a great movie charles groden he was great in that

[54:36]movie the dog matt your kids ever watch beethoven no that's watching the olympics on a different tv

[54:45]right now i think there's i think there's some stat out there like that beethoven still is like

[54:51]the number one selling artist out there or something like that kind of like the bibles

[54:55]the number one book sale there's something like so i was just trying to look that up can you look

[54:59]up hustler where does hustler sit on how do you spell that give me your password that that song

[55:06]is actually 97 on the list of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time he claims that he wrote

[55:12]that song because his sister was always playing piano and he wanted to get on there and play some

[55:15]rhythm and blues but i'm convinced that 99 of chuck berry's stories are stories that he's made

[55:19]up after the fact it's a good story but that was 1956 by the way here we have the album the song

[55:25]that i would skip every single time when i listen to this album havana moon

[55:29]yeah problematic yeah why do you say problematic aaron well this i don't know i mean this sort of

[55:38]um dialect that he's you know affecting here is questionable misappropriating a culture is what

[55:47]you're saying yeah i think so i i agree with rob i just thought the song sucked it was my least

[55:52]favorite song honestly i didn't make i didn't make it through the whole album we've talked

[55:56]about this beforehand i made it through about the first 10 songs every time and then i would give up

[56:00]but that was my least favorite song on the part of it that i could get through i can just tell

[56:05]you when you're taking kids tubing on a boat chuck berry grade 28 is not a great soundtrack

[56:09]to listen to because you're never quite sure what song he's playing i always thought though

[56:12]havana moon was when you pulled down your pants and they saw the ham the cheese and the pickle

[56:18]because it was like a cuban sandwich a little mustard on there all right school days

[56:26]this is such a famous song right this is like this comes on you know exactly what it is unless you

[56:33]think it's but this isn't the famous song the famous song is the one at the end of this

[56:38]that's called what is it called no particular place to go no particular place to go and so i

[56:44]read like he essentially just copied the same song and a lot of critics have said like what

[56:49]other artists could get away of literally just playing the exact same song and changing the

[56:53]lyrics and it works for him but it works for him the

[56:56]second to last song on this is the one that we all know from like all the commercials let's go to

[57:01]that right now screw this let's go to yeah let's go to the end yeah the order doesn't matter

[57:04]no particular place yes it's the same song so we parked way out on the kokomo oh he shots

[57:12]on kokomo in this one too i love the kokomo soundtrack so we both and this one also like

[57:18]it's you know it's questionable you know like i guess like the seatbelt is stuck but

[57:22]you know he starts talking about he can't get her belt to lose it's just

[57:26]you know i guess like the seatbelt is stuck but you know he starts talking about he can't get her belt to lose it's just

[57:26]you know i guess like the seatbelt is stuck but you know he starts talking about he can't get her belt to lose it's just

[57:26]it's it's all problematic to me as much as i absolutely love these songs do you think school

[57:30]days though is this the first song in history where people started making fun of teachers

[57:34]like this song has never been written do you think more rock and roll songs would be supportive of

[57:37]teachers no oh for sure yeah this is yeah this this is the downfall of beginning of making that

[57:45]that genre making fun of teachers for sure teachers are actually really cool

[57:49]uh all right let's get into rock and roll music

[57:56]this is a top 10 uh for barry it's top 10 for the beatles and for the beach boys

[58:03]i didn't realize i didn't realize going into this i know that the chuck barry is like a great guitar

[58:10]player but i love the piano on this album there's so many cool piano songs didn't you guys enjoy that

[58:15]yeah i agree i was just one i was trying to figure out i wonder who the pianist is in here i wonder

[58:20]if they're credited anywhere because it's great stuff johnny johnson was the piano player on most

[58:24]of the songs didn't he

[58:26]he sued him yeah he did mad he did sue him tell us more about that he sued him didn't

[58:30]yeah i was in his restaurant i had eaten some barbie and that's the thing about his restaurant

[58:34]too right with these toilet cams because that's what you really have to understand i looked at

[58:37]the menu for this restaurant i looked at the menu there is so much fried food at this restaurant

[58:42]it's like fried food and barbecue it would be an incredible camera i mean you would just be

[58:48]you'd be like this is a disaster you could not pick a worse place to have a camera in the bathroom

[58:56]stop laughing also in the court the judge they mentioned that he would slow down and pause it at

[59:00]some parts okay keep going people people confuse mine and aaron's laugh and i just want to make it

[59:04]clear it's aaron that's laughing at rob's jokes tonight not russ yeah aaron what do you think

[59:10]about toilet cams come on what are you doing that's true

[59:15]you got too much on me oh it's so funny to me all right let's go to

[59:26]uh oh baby doll little guitar solo here for you russell

[59:29]that's pretty badass isn't it yep way before it's time i think maybe there were other guys

[59:39]out there doing this i don't know but if you listen to those old country songs i mean the

[59:42]kind of rockabilly stuff they're sounding a lot like this but this is definitely bringing that

[59:46]blues into it they were probably doing it on the fiddle and he's doing the guitar yeah i mean other

[59:51]blues guitarists i feel like howlin wolf or muddy waters might have been doing similar stuff but not

[59:56]necessarily oh we should we should dive into some of those other guitarists and see this well nope

[60:03]we're not going to because next yeah we can't we're trapped in this hellish only got 18 songs

[60:09]to go yeah yeah so we're all the way up to song number 11 we have gone two years to 1957 so here's

[60:15]reeling and a rocket now this is like me this is like russ fishing with his nieces and nephews

[60:20]the reels are getting tangled up the hooks are getting caught in rocks and russ is singing

[60:26]we can just talk about when i was up north this week instead of this song if that's all right of

[60:30]course when i was up there i realized like do you guys ever have a thing where you realize like you

[60:35]don't you're not up to snuff with your peers when it comes to certain things and i realize the thing

[60:39]i'm not up to snuff to is like captaining a boat with multiple people in it oh no um i'm terrible

[60:45]i've always been terrible at like backing a boat in i'm not good at docking the boat well and landing

[60:50]it on the dock without ramming it right into the corner of the dock i'm just like terrible if i were

[60:56]to ever do that again i'm not good at docking the boat well and landing it on the dock without

[60:56]taking a date out and like on the lake and she would never go out with me again it would be a

[61:00]complete disaster so is there anything that you guys are really terrible at that you don't want

[61:04]people to see you trying to do man i learned this week that i'm terribly using the damn vitamix

[61:10]i spend so much time wrestling you know i'm okay in the kitchen i make food i cook

[61:17]plenty of meals i have plenty of disasters too which don't need to be discussed but i cannot

[61:22]use the damn vitamix i tried to make pesto i gotta stop sometimes i try to

[61:26]make my son's smoothie i'm terrible at the vitamix how do you fuck up using a blender

[61:33]i don't know rob this is you not put the top on do you not like no what happens is i end up with

[61:38]like i end up not getting the consistency right and the blades go and then it stuff gets chopped

[61:44]and then it sits underneath the blades so it can't get chopped up anymore that's why i i can't make

[61:49]my son's smoothie i can't do a lot of things with the vitamix i'm terrible at it you're just

[61:56]their parent you might have it our minds are broken by the way that we all laughed at the

[62:00]word dough hook there um you might did you buy your vitamix like off facebook marketplace having

[62:06]to write a hundred word essay about favorite things to blend because it sounds like you might

[62:09]have gotten a knockoff model if it doesn't blend everything that's in the blender like that's the

[62:13]one job no when my wife does it it's perfect she's great at it i just i can't i don't know i'm really

[62:18]bad at the the vitamix that sounds you know what i'm really bad at cleaning the kitchen floors oh

[62:23]oh my gosh oh please oh i'm so bad at this oh my gosh

[62:26]did i just shove all the dirt right to the middle of the floor and then walk away and forget about

[62:29]it yeah i better not do that anymore oh i'm so bad at it oh matt and rob you guys would be terrible

[62:34]life partners could you imagine matt losing his shit if rob just swept everything into the middle

[62:39]of it then didn't sweep it all up left it there yeah that you guys you wouldn't even last two

[62:45]months we would have to have yeah we'd have to have a sit down talk all right rob rob look at

[62:56]this i've noticed that you know hey you're doing great you're sweeping everything up into the pile

[63:02]that's great you know i appreciate that hey should we should we jack off together

[63:07]rob this is serious okay i'm trying to have a serious conversation it's also

[63:14]just what jenny says to me too what i'm trying to have a serious conversation okay i'm so sorry

[63:22]but ignore what i'm doing here yeah

[63:26]uh ignore this dough hook all right let's get into he's tubing it uh in this song

[63:31]aaron wanted to talk about sweet little 16

[63:33]this stuff is problematic but yeah this is the one that uh surfing may say ripped off right

[63:43]so yeah aaron you mentioned that they they got sued the the beach boys wrote this song

[63:48]in uh 62 so five years later they just came out with this song

[63:51]so they're like

[63:56]did they did they have to pay for this you think or did they just do it chuck berry

[64:03]actually or the the record company sued them and chuck berry got a songwriting credit on that so

[64:08]now every time that song is played chuck berry is listed as the songwriter which i think is

[64:12]that's what you'd want out of that yeah so the one of the coolest things that i enjoyed about

[64:18]this song is i heard there's that part where do you guys remember ever as kids where you would

[64:22]rip your finger up and down the piano it's like the most basic thing that anyone could

[64:26]do in a piano right did you guys hear that in the song yeah but it hurts to do it right

[64:29]and it hurts to make enough it does there's actually youtube videos about how to do it

[64:34]right check it out rob oh you can hear me oh yes they're just ripping up and down and aaron i don't

[64:41]know if you know anything about this you probably had to take piano i did when you were in in in

[64:46]music or choir in college right shut up professor i believe that it's called a glissando is that

[64:51]correct where you rip up and down it's called a glissando is that correct yes indeed it's hard

[64:56]to do man you're gonna have tough fingernails for that shit what i thought we could do is a list of

[65:01]the greatest songs ever the greatest pop songs ever that feature a glissando on the piano oh yeah

[65:06]as part of the song it was confusing though because there's also something called apartamento

[65:13]which is similar but it's not a portmento kind of the same but different oh right yeah

[65:18]portmanteau and a portamento are different although similar idea because you're eliding

[65:22]between a portamento hold on hold on there's a toe there's a toes joe

[65:26]coming hold on no i was going to move i was going to move to madrid and i was looking for an

[65:29]apartamento too so

[65:31]the first song on the list is one of the favorites and for me this is not famous for jerry lee lewis

[65:47]it's really famous from top gun but this is great balls of fire by jerry lee lewis check out the

[65:53]show me the way home honey

[65:56]goose jammed on this one take me to bed and lose me forever what was your guys favorite top gun song

[66:08]back in the day was it that song great balls of fire was it highway to the danger zone or was it

[66:14]when cruise and goose do you lost that love and feeling what about take my breath away yeah

[66:19]the scene right like licking her nose or whatever yeah it's a weird sex scene man

[66:26]seen it a thousand times rob who would you rather perform a sex scene with in a movie prince or tom

[66:32]cruise oh prince he's so short actually both those guys would be so short on me it would be like lord

[66:37]of the rings if gandalf decided to make out with the hobbits yeah you shall not ask i like playing

[66:46]with the boys too wait wait can i retake that i should be really quiet you this is gandalf uh

[66:55]making out with the hobbit

[66:56]you shall eat us

[66:59]you made us listen again for that

[67:03]plus i heard a good joke that got stomped why do you think they call him gandalf the gray

[67:09]because this thing is grayer than it should be yeah no actually being gray is normal in a lot

[67:16]of places it's not a big deal thank you next up on the list is come on eileen one of the greatest

[67:22]one-hit wonders ever this song starts off with one of these glissandos here check

[67:26]this out this reminds me of something i did my sophomore year

[67:28]i could hear it yeah it's beautiful great voice on this guy too i have no idea who the singer is on

[67:48]that one this was that song was actually listed as the number two one hit wonder ever by rolling

[67:54]stone magazine do you guys have a guess at what the number two one-hit wonder ever is

[69:58]singers are looking at the piano player

[69:58]singers are looking at the piano player like okay we gotta say oh

[70:00]like okay we gotta say oh

[70:00]like okay we gotta say oh man is abba coming up on this list at

[70:02]man is abba coming up on this list at

[70:02]man is abba coming up on this list at all i know they were on the previous

[70:03]all i know they were on the previous

[70:03]all i know they were on the previous list did they get knocked down at all i

[70:05]I always loved the first time we listened to it,

[70:08]but I don't know if it was the greatest hits or what it was.

[70:10]Probably ABBA Gold, right?

[70:11]It was Saturday Night Fever.

[70:13]They were on Saturday Night Fever, which everybody considers ABBA,

[70:16]but it's not.

[70:17]Nope.

[70:18]The last song on the list was by a band that was originally called

[70:20]Tyrannosaurus Rex, and they shortened it to T-Rex.

[70:24]This is Bang the Gong, or otherwise known as Get It On.

[70:27]Check out the glissando at the beginning of this one.

[70:29]Oh, yeah.

[70:33]Yeah.

[70:33]Yes.

[70:34]And that's some Chuck Berry-style rhythm guitar there, too.

[70:37]I mean, I guess it's just the blues, but it reminds me of Chuck Berry.

[70:40]Can I just say that if they were called Tyrannosaurus Rex,

[70:44]they would be the biggest band of all time.

[70:45]There's no doubt about it.

[70:46]What if all their guitar players had really short arms

[70:49]and they couldn't reach the strings, though?

[70:50]It'd be so good.

[70:53]They could play with their teeth like Jimmy.

[70:56]Rob, you were mentioning one thing that's really cool about that song,

[71:00]and it brings you back to Chuck Berry.

[71:01]There's a part at the very end of the song we don't need to play,

[71:03]but at the very end of the song,

[71:04]essentially, they say something along

[71:07]Meanwhile, I'm Thinking,

[71:09]which is a rip-off or an ode to Chuck Berry

[71:12]for one of the later songs we're going to talk about

[71:15]where he says,

[71:15]Meanwhile, I've Been Thinking.

[71:16]So I thought that was a pretty cool way

[71:18]to get it back to your guy, Chuck Berry.

[71:20]I thought they were going to give credit to him

[71:22]by starting every song with

[71:23]Sounds like a video game.

[71:26]By the way, ABBA is coming in at

[71:30]303, the Definitive Collection.

[71:33]Oh, that seems way too good.

[71:34]Too low, doesn't it?

[71:35]Yes, absolutely.

[71:37]Well, don't agree with his conversation.

[71:38]Just test it.

[71:38]I mean, we're going to have to have this over and over now

[71:40]for the next 400 years.

[71:42]Aaron, just to let you know,

[71:42]just to let you know,

[71:44]we will be covering ABBA in 2026.

[71:48]So your child will be like in middle school

[71:52]by the time we cover that.

[71:53]Just to let you know.

[71:54]Oh, he'll be so proud.

[71:55]Not to make you super sad, but there you go.

[71:58]Not to destroy your night, but here we go.

[72:00]Oh, my God.

[72:00]My kid will move out of the house that year.

[72:01]Oh, my God.

[72:03]I'm going to cry.

[72:03]Okay.

[72:04]So next time anyone goes to like their grandma's house

[72:07]and that piano sitting there and you rip up and down

[72:09]and you hurt that fingernail, just know there's been

[72:11]a lot of great songs that have started with that.

[72:13]Oh, my God.

[72:14]People would be so mad if I did that because my grandma

[72:16]died like 10 years ago and we sold that house.

[72:17]All right.

[72:19]That was it for the list.

[72:21]I have my grandma's piano in my house.

[72:23]I'm going to try it tomorrow morning.

[72:24]Nice.

[72:26]Please record it and I'll put it up on the Instagram.

[72:28]All right.

[72:29]I'm going to try it.

[72:30]It's going to hurt, man.

[72:31]That hurts your fingernails.

[72:34]That was another did it better list by Russell.

[72:37]That was easily a top five list.

[72:40]Oh, yeah.

[72:41]We always say it, but I figured I'd put it in the sting.

[72:45]Anyway, I was like, we'll be fantastic.

[72:47]Oh, all right.

[72:49]Let's get back to the album.

[72:51]We're going to hear another song.

[72:52]Start with then.

[72:52]Oh, Johnny, be good.

[72:57]But this might be the best one.

[72:59]This might be the best one that does that.

[73:01]This is bad ass.

[73:04]I mean, there's a reason if you're going to communicate with aliens, this is the one

[73:07]you do it.

[73:08]Seventh on the list of the hundred or the five hundred greatest rock and roll songs.

[73:12]It's actually about his piano player.

[73:14]And then he just kind of made it about himself as well.

[73:16]That would never be a top ten song ever if it weren't on the Back to the Future movie,

[73:22]right?

[73:22]No, I think that I think that changes the song's trajectory.

[73:25]I think the only other song to be changed like a movie that big was Queen Bohemian Rhapsody

[73:31]in Wayne's World.

[73:32]Yes.

[73:33]There's no.

[73:34]There's no other song that got huge because of a movie compared to that.

[73:37]But like in that Queen movie, you see that where they're like, yeah, we're going to make

[73:40]Bohemian Rhapsody.

[73:41]I was like, how is Wayne's World not in this Queen movie?

[73:43]I mean, Mike Myers is right there.

[73:44]He's on set.

[73:45]You could hire him.

[73:46]Play Wayne World.

[73:46]Play Wayne World.

[73:48]Actually, this is his real name.

[73:49]All right.

[73:50]Around and around.

[73:51]And this is officially where I would check out.

[73:53]Right round, baby.

[73:54]Right round like a record, baby.

[73:56]Right round, round, round.

[73:58]Wouldn't it be great if Chuck Berry came out and he had like the eye patch on and the

[74:04]hat?

[74:04]All I know is that to me, you look like you're lots of fun.

[74:08]When I flush the toilet, it goes right round, baby.

[74:14]Right round.

[74:14]Right round like a toilet, baby.

[74:17]Right round, round, round.

[74:19]All right.

[74:20]Carol.

[74:20]This was the first time on the album where I realized a quarter of his songs also sound

[74:29]like Run, Run, Rudolph.

[74:30]Yes.

[74:30]They're all just the same as Run, Run, Run, Run, Rudolph.

[74:34]Yeah.

[74:34]I mean, he had a style.

[74:35]He went with it.

[74:36]He knew it worked.

[74:36]But yeah, this is where that guitar sounds just like T-Rex.

[74:41]Or T-Rex is doing that same rhythm thing.

[74:42]They just slowed it down.

[74:43]Yeah, you're right.

[74:44]You're right.

[74:44]I used to do that song as a Christmas carol and nobody got the joke.

[74:47]I'm deleting you, Aaron, when you talk there because that joke was really good, but I don't

[74:51]think they heard it.

[74:51]All right.

[74:52]Beautiful Delilah.

[74:53]Here's the piano again.

[75:00]You're right, Russell.

[75:02]I think the song's the...

[75:03]The honky-tonk piano are some of the best ones, except for Johnny B. Good, maybe.

[75:07]How many times did you listen to this album, Aaron?

[75:10]I would say at least four all the way through.

[75:12]I don't think I ever quite made it all the way in one sitting, but I definitely played

[75:16]it throughout the day multiple times.

[75:19]You can do a lot worse than listening.

[75:20]Did any of you guys make it through Memphis, this song, in one sitting, or did you have

[75:25]to quit by the time you got this far?

[75:27]Like, the people are going to have to quit this podcast.

[75:28]I made it through Memphis in one sitting.

[75:31]This is a sad song, man.

[75:33]I'm going to tell you right now, people, at the end of this podcast, Matt and I are

[75:36]going to do another bit where we're married, so if you want to hear that, stick around

[75:39]and don't fast forward to the end.

[75:40]That's cheating.

[75:41]All right.

[75:42]We've got Memphis.

[75:43]Johnny Rivers recorded a much more famous version that hit number two on the charts.

[75:49]We covered this song once on a list of the greatest songs ever about Memphis.

[75:53]We did a list on the greatest songs about Memphis?

[75:56]Yeah, it was a top five list.

[75:58]Oh my God, I cannot read.

[75:59]One thing I like about Memphis...

[76:03]One thing I like about his playing in this song that struck me about listening to this

[76:07]compilation is he's obviously aggressive.

[76:10]He's willing to get into the really beefy, chunky blues chords, but there's something

[76:14]so...

[76:14]I mean, Jimmy, I think, has the same quality.

[76:16]There's something so delicate about his playing on Memphis and in other places.

[76:21]He's so capable of being precious and delicate and then just really ripping on stuff.

[76:25]I think Jimmy came up in the same kind of rhythm and blues school and would have listened

[76:31]to Chuck Berry, and that's something that strikes me when I listen.

[76:33]I think Jimmy came up in the same kind of rhythm and blues school and would have listened to

[76:33]him.

[76:33]Little Queenie.

[76:34]And this is another song that would sound like Run, Run, Rudolph.

[76:42]This is like...

[76:43]All I can think of is Home Alone when I hear these songs.

[76:45]That's all I think of.

[76:47]I'm going to eat your finger.

[76:50]I'm going to eat your fingers.

[76:51]That's all I can think of now when I think of Home Alone is Joe Pesci at the end how

[76:55]we talked about if he actually ate his fingers, how terrifying that would be.

[76:57]What a different movie that would be.

[76:59]Yeah.

[77:00]Yeah, right.

[77:01]Almost grown.

[77:03]Guess who's singing in the background here, Aaron?

[77:05]Somebody you've probably never heard of named Etta James.

[77:08]Wow.

[77:09]I was trying to figure who that is.

[77:10]That's great.

[77:13]He ain't never been in Dutch.

[77:14]Is this the song where he goes...

[77:16]Yeah.

[77:16]Is that this song?

[77:18]What does he do?

[77:19]Yeah.

[77:22]Oh, I feel like I'm here with Shakira.

[77:24]Man, that's...

[77:24]Rob, that...

[77:25]I'm disappointed in myself.

[77:26]I should have known her voice.

[77:28]She is special.

[77:29]That's wonderful.

[77:30]Yeah, because she was on Chess Records, right?

[77:32]That makes sense now.

[77:33]So, what you're saying was Magic Mike was right to call you out for being a dumb shit earlier, huh?

[77:38]Can I have to go back?

[77:38]I got to study.

[77:39]I got to study.

[77:40]I'm sorry, Music Mike.

[77:41]Okay.

[77:42]I'm going to put in more time in this podcast, Aaron.

[77:44]We've been meaning to have a conversation about your effort lately.

[77:48]Can I just...

[77:49]Your effort is not up to par.

[77:51]I got to talk to you guys about something.

[77:52]I...

[77:53]Oh.

[77:53]Sometimes on this podcast, I try to put in an act and stuff, but sometimes I want to

[77:58]get real.

[77:58]For the last two minutes, I haven't heard a word you've been saying.

[78:03]Because I'm working on a joke in my head, and it goes something like this.

[78:06]Are you ready?

[78:06]Did you hear about her sister who sold crackers?

[78:10]Chetta James.

[78:12]And there's something there, and there's just something like Chetta James.

[78:16]I'm going to edit out all your laughing.

[78:18]Instead of Etta James, it's Chetta James.

[78:21]She is quite possibly the daughter of Minnesota Fats, the famous pool player who was immortalized

[78:26]in The Hustler.

[78:28]The movie The Hustler, right?

[78:29]Minnesota Fats.

[78:30]Who?

[78:31]May or may not have been from Ames.

[78:33]Iowa, if I have to look that up.

[78:34]I'm going to have to check that out.

[78:36]That explains that scene in the movie where he doubles down on a hard 12.

[78:39]You get it.

[78:40]Also known as an Iowa double down.

[78:43]Chetta sounds like cheddar.

[78:45]Chetta sounds like cheddar.

[78:46]And I do want to point out, I was vulnerable with you guys, and you changed the subject.

[78:49]Very hurtful.

[78:50]Matt, we're going to have a conversation about this at the end of the podcast.

[78:53]All right.

[78:53]This is not in front of everybody else.

[78:55]All right.

[78:55]Not in front of the kids.

[78:56]Back in the USA.

[78:58]I did reference this song once before.

[79:03]I did reference this before on the show, but I did get cut out because it was boring.

[79:04]I know this is probably the best song in the second half.

[79:09]When I could actually get to the second half, this was my favorite song in the second half.

[79:12]USA.

[79:13]I think there should be more songs where they say USA like that.

[79:16]It's a true feeling of longing for home.

[79:23]It's fun.

[79:23]Yeah.

[79:24]It's like, because he actually wrote that coming back from Australia, and he was landing

[79:28]down and he wrote that song.

[79:29]Some people think that that also applies maybe if you're at a cabin with your family.

[79:33]For about two months, and maybe you realize you're scheduled it for about three or four

[79:37]weeks too long.

[79:38]And my family didn't like what you got left when I spent the last two days before I went

[79:44]to the casino, just singing about other cities.

[79:46]I would rather be in there with my family.

[79:48]They didn't like that so much.

[79:50]They thought it was insulting.

[79:51]I was wondering why you were like, hey, can I write the parody song this year?

[79:54]It's called I hate my family.

[79:55]I want to get out of here.

[79:56]Yeah, we can use it next time I go up there, I suppose.

[80:00]All right.

[80:01]Speaking of waterbeds.

[80:02]Let it rock.

[80:03]God, that doesn't quite work, but it's close again.

[80:05]It's really close.

[80:06]I gotta get some money, buy some brand new shoes, try to find somebody.

[80:13]Run, run, Rudolph.

[80:14]Every song is run, run, Rudolph.

[80:16]It's the same damn song.

[80:18]This is stuff that you could definitely tell Dylan was listening to.

[80:22]He's doing this kind of working man thing, and you could tell that's what Dylan was eventually

[80:26]expanding upon.

[80:27]I got to tell you, I love a song that tells a story.

[80:30]I do.

[80:31]I love a song about, hey, I'm waking up in the morning.

[80:32]I'm swinging a hammer.

[80:33]I go home, and I got 17 kids.

[80:35]I'm like, yeah, I'm into that song.

[80:36]I love it.

[80:37]I think it's great.

[80:37]Those are called violence.

[80:38]I was run, run, Rudolph, not on this damn album.

[80:40]There's three songs that sound like it, and not one of them is the song people know.

[80:45]I know Matt doesn't like Christmas songs, but it should be on here.

[80:48]It's a joke if it's not on here.

[80:50]We couldn't have done The Great 29.

[80:53]That would have worked just fine.

[80:54]I'm still waiting on my ding-dong.

[80:55]You like that?

[80:55]After he got arrested for that toilet thing, he actually came out with a sequel to that.

[80:59]Yeah.

[81:00]What was it called?

[81:00]It's called Runs, Runs, Rudolph.

[81:02]Aaron, don't laugh at that.

[81:07]Aaron, did you hear me?

[81:09]Yeah.

[81:10]I said Runs, Runs, Rudolph.

[81:12]That's true.

[81:16]All right.

[81:18]I probably could get sued for doing that.

[81:21]Okay, so.

[81:22]Deep fake.

[81:23]Next up, we have, which I think is the saddest song on the list, which is Bye Bye Johnny,

[81:27]which is such a blatant sequel to Johnny Be Good, where he's like, I better go back to

[81:30]the well.

[81:31]Let's see.

[81:31]It's worse than I've ever heard.

[81:32]Johnny Be Good in every way.

[81:33]Recorded worse.

[81:36]The opening's worse.

[81:38]The lyrics are worse.

[81:39]At this point, it should be changed from The Great 28 to The Mediocre 28.

[81:43]This song's not good enough to be on The Great 28.

[81:45]Yeah, what year was this one recorded, Rob?

[81:48]I don't know.

[81:49]I think it's somewhere before 61, but it's not recorded well.

[81:54]So maybe kind of a money grab.

[81:56]Mm-hmm.

[81:57]I'm talking.

[81:57]It's like me when I'm talking about Miami football.

[82:01]I'm talking about you.

[82:02]Let me tell you about a guy I know.

[82:04]It's a deep joke.

[82:06]This one is quite different in style than some of the other ones we've heard.

[82:12]Aaron, for real, you got this far?

[82:15]You listened to this song?

[82:16]Dude, yeah, of course I did.

[82:17]I listened to all the songs.

[82:18]Matt, give us one thought on the album.

[82:21]We're at song like 24.

[82:22]Tell us something you liked or didn't like.

[82:24]I think you clearly hear the influence that he has on other bands that we've listened to.

[82:32]Rolling Stones and The Beatles.

[82:34]But again, I'm with you guys.

[82:36]This is boring.

[82:37]I can't take one more song.

[82:39]I just want to shut the album off and be done with it.

[82:41]The boring is shit 28.

[82:43]We should rename it.

[82:44]Yeah.

[82:44]Release it with a new name.

[82:46]Did I ever tell you guys about my sophomore year of college?

[82:49]Yeah, a number of times.

[82:51]What happened?

[82:52]Is that when they called you Thick Dick?

[82:53]Next song is Come On.

[82:55]Oh, Rob.

[82:57]See, way different guitar style in this one.

[82:59]I was like, boy.

[83:02]I love it.

[83:02]I love it.

[83:02]I love it.

[83:02]I love it.

[83:02]I love this song.

[83:03]I remember loving this song, and I realized why.

[83:05]It's because it's the Rolling Stones' first single ever.

[83:08]Wow.

[83:12]I didn't know that.

[83:13]And I had the collection of their singles, and I used to love this song.

[83:16]64, Nadine.

[83:19]Oh, I like this one.

[83:22]That's an interesting start.

[83:23]Yeah.

[83:24]Oh, now we're back.

[83:25]We're back.

[83:26]And you might wonder why he was not making any songs from 61 to 64, and it's because

[83:31]he was in jail for that time.

[83:33]Yeah.

[83:33]Right.

[83:33]All right.

[83:34]Now, No Particular Place to Go.

[83:36]This is a banger.

[83:41]I don't care where it comes in the great, the mediocre 28.

[83:44]It's still a banger song.

[83:46]So wait a minute.

[83:47]If there's no island named Kokomo, what's he talking about with the Kokomos?

[83:50]I don't know what he's talking about.

[83:52]Yeah, he says we parked way out in the Kokomo.

[83:54]I thought for a while it was Poconos because he loves talking about, you know, U.S.

[83:57]geography, but I don't know what the hell he's talking about with the Kokomo.

[84:00]Have you?

[84:02]You guys.

[84:02]When's the last time you guys made out in a car?

[84:04]Does it have to be with one of you that are on the podcast?

[84:09]It could be someone else.

[84:10]2007.

[84:11]Probably.

[84:12]I did it two nights ago.

[84:15]Yeah.

[84:15]Way to go, Rob.

[84:17]Got to a dinner reservation early, and I was like, hey, we should make out.

[84:21]Not great.

[84:22]It was not great.

[84:23]Making out in a car is not easy to do, you know, especially when you're older.

[84:27]It's worth the effort, though.

[84:27]I applaud you for trying, man.

[84:29]That's great.

[84:29]Keeping the romance alive.

[84:30]I love it, Rob.

[84:30]The question is, did you, Rob, did you have to?

[84:32]Did you have to do the lean over?

[84:33]Who leaned over?

[84:34]Well, it got awkward because I was at the airport pickup, and halfway through, Jenny

[84:37]walked in to the car.

[84:38]And it turned out you met that guy who was flashing his bright side.

[84:43]Yeah, exactly.

[84:43]You guys made up.

[84:44]Yeah.

[84:45]No, it was just me by myself.

[84:46]Blashing my bright side.

[84:48]But it just was not.

[84:49]It was, we were kind of like, okay, let's go in, and maybe they'll give us a table.

[84:52]Like, that's what Jenny said.

[84:53]We did it for a while.

[84:53]Jenny was like, maybe they'll give us a table early.

[84:55]I was like, okay, reviews are in.

[84:57]But there was, there was a fair amount of making out in cars in my, in my, in the early part

[85:01]of, uh, of my career.

[85:02]My now marriage.

[85:03]But, uh, it's been a while since we, since we tried it.

[85:06]So, I don't know now.

[85:06]And the, from, I've, from the passenger seat, I'm not sure how it would go.

[85:09]I'd give it a shot, though.

[85:10]Folks, tell us what you think about making out in cars.

[85:12]Uh, text into the Bex line, 802-277-232-4, 2325.

[85:17]And tell us, is making out with cars, thumbs up, thumbs down?

[85:21]What do we think about making out in cars?

[85:22]No, Rob, no.

[85:24]It's, what was the, what was the game?

[85:25]What was the game called?

[85:26]Uh.

[85:29]Buster.

[85:30]We had a game.

[85:30]Buster.

[85:32]Buster, a big bust.

[85:33]I think, I think Buster, big bust turned out to be a big bust.

[85:36]And that's good.

[85:39]I like that.

[85:40]That bit was rolling bone.

[85:42]Wait, is bone high or lower?

[85:44]That might mean it's good.

[85:46]All I know is that Jenny says, oh yeah, you like this?

[85:47]You like this?

[85:48]And the blinker was going left and right.

[85:50]So I, there was, I was happy with that.

[85:52]I was like, oh, the size of a blinker.

[85:53]I'll take it.

[85:54]What if we just change the rating at the end?

[85:56]We can just rate making out in cars and do our ranking on that instead of this album.

[86:00]I could tell you it was a rolling, let's get going.

[86:02]Restaurant.

[86:02]Let's get going on the rest of this pod.

[86:04]I want to be your driver.

[86:06]You know, he's playing guitar on this.

[86:09]Matt Guitar Murphy.

[86:10]This one.

[86:11]Oh, this is like a Beatles song.

[86:14]Yes.

[86:14]This is John Lennon full on ripped off.

[86:16]This is the last song on the album.

[86:19]65.

[86:20]This is off his live in London album, which I don't know if it's in front of a live audience

[86:23]or what, but he's also got Matt Guitar Murphy on guitar back.

[86:27]Oh, the Blues Brothers.

[86:28]Absolutely.

[86:28]Wow.

[86:29]So is the Beatles ripping this off or who came first?

[86:32]Yes.

[86:32]This song with Chuck Berry of the Beatles.

[86:34]You think I'm going to drive my car?

[86:38]Drive my car would have come out in 64.

[86:40]So maybe that did come out before this one.

[86:42]I'm going to edit out where I was wrong.

[86:44]Yes.

[86:45]I was just about to say that.

[86:47]Beatles came out within 64.

[86:49]I'm going to edit that before.

[86:50]That song was very different than almost everything on the album.

[86:53]It's a pretty solid ending for the album of the Mediocre 28.

[86:56]Unless you're like me and you put in a secret track to play at the end and Chuck

[87:02]Berry's career, he only had one number one song that hit number one on the billboard

[87:07]charts.

[87:07]Did I tell you guys about my sophomore year?

[87:11]This is my ding.

[87:12]Yeah.

[87:14]This was a number one hit?

[87:17]Absolutely.

[87:19]His only number one hit.

[87:21]This is it?

[87:23]That's sad.

[87:24]Whoa.

[87:30]What?

[87:32]It's so dirty.

[87:32]Also, the longest song on this.

[87:35]It's a four minute song.

[87:36]People love it.

[87:38]But listen to this.

[87:41]The guitar work is still fantastic.

[87:42]Can I be honest with you guys again?

[87:44]I want to bare my soul.

[87:45]Yeah.

[87:46]Last time it worked great.

[87:47]My toilet ring light.

[87:50]There's something there with that joke.

[87:52]What?

[87:53]Toilet ring light.

[87:54]So it'd be so dark.

[87:56]How would you take pictures?

[87:57]It doesn't make sense to me.

[87:58]Do you have a flash?

[88:02]I said, there's got to be a lot.

[88:04]These are honest questions.

[88:05]I sat down and a flash went off.

[88:08]I would be suspicious.

[88:09]Okay.

[88:10]Audio or video only.

[88:12]Do you have to have like one of those part of the red,

[88:14]yellow, white cables to hook it up somewhere like an old VHS

[88:17]player or not?

[88:18]It could not be audio.

[88:19]There cannot be audio.

[88:20]There's no way.

[88:21]It's just video.

[88:22]There cannot be.

[88:23]That cannot be part of it.

[88:24]The audio of it.

[88:25]I mean, the guy's a musical genius.

[88:27]You tell him he didn't have audio.

[88:28]He only had a vision.

[88:29]I got to tell you a Chuck Berry story from when after the podcast.

[88:32]Dude, it's unbelievable.

[88:32]All right.

[88:33]Just tell it now.

[88:34]No one's getting this far anyways.

[88:35]Just tell it now.

[88:36]Oh, hell.

[88:37]Nobody's listening.

[88:37]They found it.

[88:38]They found a video of him and a woman like they can dumps on each

[88:43]other.

[88:44]Oh, we could say that for after.

[88:46]Matt, Matt, Matt's going to chime in on that one afterwards.

[88:53]That's for the, we'll save it for the secret pod.

[88:55]Yeah.

[88:56]Secret pod.

[88:56]Take a breath.

[88:57]Can you imagine being in court?

[88:58]They're playing that video and they're like, is that you?

[89:00]And you have to be like.

[89:02]I should have never got that red and white audio cord.

[89:07]I would have been fine with just the damn video, but now they confirm

[89:10]it's me because, you know, the video would start with like your face

[89:13]real close to the camera when you turn it on.

[89:14]Okay.

[89:19]I think I got it.

[89:20]The red light.

[89:21]Okay.

[89:23]Can you hear me now?

[89:25]Plug in that white cord.

[89:26]Yeah.

[89:26]Now, could you take a big shit out of this?

[89:28]Oh, this is going great.

[89:30]Raising my life.

[89:32]I love it.

[89:32]Okay.

[89:36]And then at the end, you're like, oh God, gross.

[89:38]Okay.

[89:39]How do I turn this?

[89:40]It feels like that kind of thing would be hard to schedule too, right?

[89:44]You can't just like poop on command.

[89:45]Like you'd have to like plan.

[89:46]Okay.

[89:46]Like we both typically do.

[89:47]They said like, what, you know, 10 AM or whatever it is.

[89:50]Like, it seems like a lot of work.

[89:51]I had to explain all the empty coffee cups in the background.

[89:54]Can you imagine if Aaron had to deal with all these complications when he was living out

[89:59]in the garage?

[89:59]That would have made life so difficult.

[90:02]You just, the background check varies.

[90:03]He's like, oh yeah, we bought so much.

[90:06]We bought so much milk.

[90:07]I can't find the red and white cables.

[90:10]Okay.

[90:11]We've been drinking.

[90:11]I don't know how we're going to record this.

[90:13]We've been drinking buttermilk for two days.

[90:14]I'm ready for this day.

[90:15]I had a problem while we were making out in the car before our scheduled time.

[90:25]This is the end of the podcast, I think.

[90:30]Okay.

[90:32]All right.

[90:32]So that's it.

[90:33]Let's get into everybody's favorite and patented the rating system.

[90:36]I officially have too many.

[90:39]You are rating us, rating us.

[90:42]I need all this stuff.

[90:45]I've spent all this time trying to figure out whether it would be patented or just copyrighted.

[91:00]Oh, no.

[91:02]Do I owe you money now?

[91:03]Shoot.

[91:03]Maybe.

[91:04]I was thinking about filing a patent before you could, but.

[91:07]This is album number 51.

[91:09]If you think it's perfect at 51, we think this album is rolling well toned.

[91:13]Do you think that this album is better than 51?

[91:16]It could be 50, 49.

[91:17]You know what?

[91:18]This album prints better.

[91:19]This album rumors better than this album got rolling boned being all the way back at 51.

[91:25]Or is this album a rolling groan?

[91:27]You don't really like it.

[91:28]You think it should be 52, 53.

[91:30]Maybe back at 303.

[91:31]Dabba, when we cover it, when Aaron's kid is in high school.

[91:34]All right.

[91:35]Russell, what do you think?

[91:37]Is this rolling well toned, rolling boned, or rolling groan?

[91:39]To me, it's just too long.

[91:42]If we just had 12 songs on this list and they weren't all the repeats of the same songs,

[91:47]I would have been.

[91:48]Yeah, that's not bad.

[91:51]Not bad, man.

[91:52]Just too long.

[91:53]It's just too long.

[91:54]Wait till after the song.

[91:55]Matt and I are going to have a little conversation.

[91:56]Yeah.

[91:57]Admittedly, I don't always get that feedback, which is a bit hurtful.

[92:00]But maybe.

[92:01]Someone just said it once.

[92:02]It would be nice.

[92:03]I tried to listen to this multiple times, and I could never get through the whole thing.

[92:06]And I think if you can't get through the whole thing, then there's something wrong with the construction.

[92:11]It shouldn't be that high on the list.

[92:13]And for me, I don't know if he didn't have albums at the time.

[92:17]So I know this is a compilation.

[92:18]So it's a little bit different.

[92:20]But this isn't an album to me.

[92:21]This is a compilation.

[92:22]It shouldn't be on the list.

[92:24]So it is rolling, groan, or also known as a big bust.

[92:28]A big bust.

[92:31]All right, Matt.

[92:32]What do you think?

[92:32]Rolling well-toned, rolling boned, or rolling groaned?

[92:34]I didn't like listening to this album.

[92:38]I think it's too long.

[92:41]I certainly respect the influence that Chuck Berry's had.

[92:46]But I think to Russell's point, it's not an album.

[92:49]They didn't have them back then.

[92:51]It's nothing against not having an album.

[92:52]But it's too long.

[92:54]It's the same thing over and over.

[92:55]So I'm going to say it's rolling groaned.

[92:58]All right, Aaron.

[92:59]Be just like the guy playing.

[93:01]Blackjack next to Russell.

[93:02]Why don't you take a stab and tell us, what do you think of this album?

[93:05]Rolling well-toned, rolling boned, or rolling groaned?

[93:08]I'm going to tell you what I think and hopefully not get stabbed.

[93:10]It just dawned on me that both Chuck Berry and Miles Davis are from St. Louis

[93:14]and that this stuff was coming out at the same time as Kind of Blue,

[93:17]which just blows my mind to think, like, did they ever meet each other?

[93:20]But I will say I had a lot of groan moments and cringe moments

[93:26]listening to some of these songs and thinking about what we now know

[93:29]about Chuck Berry, the person.

[93:31]So that's hard to let go of.

[93:32]But I love listening to it.

[93:34]I think I put it on in the house and just let it run.

[93:37]I think I could do a lot worse in terms of having fun

[93:40]than just listen to 28 straight Chuck Berry songs.

[93:43]Agree with you guys.

[93:44]I've made my feelings clear on greatest hit songs on the list,

[93:48]but they are on the list.

[93:49]We are listening to them.

[93:50]And he is such an important figure in rock and roll.

[93:53]I have to say, against my better judgment, that it's rolling well-toned.

[93:57]You guys are all incorrect.

[93:59]The correct answer, this is a rolling,

[94:01]inspiration.

[94:01]Guys, yes, did every single intro to this song sound the same?

[94:06]And did we all think of Run, Run Rudolph every time we heard these songs?

[94:08]Yes.

[94:09]But guess what?

[94:10]That's because it's good.

[94:11]It is, like, it rocks.

[94:13]It is so good.

[94:13]It was fun to listen to.

[94:15]And there is no other album that has inspired so many albums

[94:18]that we've listened to on this list than this one.

[94:20]This is, like, the original inspiration album.

[94:23]It's, you know, it's just unbelievable to be able to hear the future in 1955.

[94:28]That was, like, so long ago.

[94:30]It's crazy.

[94:31]Next up, we've got someone with the same nickname as Russell's Penis.

[94:36]The Thin White Duke.

[94:38]We've got David Bowie, Station to Station.

[94:40]When you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time.

[94:46]I was going to say mine, but it seemed funnier to say Russell's Penis.

[94:48]But you're just too lazy to look it up online.

[94:51]If you want to hear from guys who chat and then they get off track.

[94:57]I've got the perfect podcast.

[95:00]I have for you, Jack.

[95:02]Beck did it better.

[95:04]Matt, can I have an honest conversation with you right now?

[95:07]Yeah.

[95:08]Did you think that Cheddar James joke was any good?

[95:10]No.

[95:11]Not good.

[95:12]It was brutal.

[95:13]That was pretty bad.

[95:14]The reach.

[95:16]We call that a stretch.

[95:17]Speaking of a reach, let's jack each other off.

[95:19]Okay.

[95:20]The problem is, Russell, every time you start singing Run, Run, Rudolph,

[95:29]it made me laugh so hard.

[95:30]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:31]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:32]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:33]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:34]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:35]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:36]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:37]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:38]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:39]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:40]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:41]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:42]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:43]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:44]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:45]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:46]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:47]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:48]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:49]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:50]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:51]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:52]I don't know if you can hear me.

[95:53]I don't know if you can hear me.
