[05:07]the dumbest of the dumb yeah you text them back you engage in conversation with them yep they love

[05:12]it they definitely aren't weirded out by uh thinking that they're just texting nobody and

[05:15]instead there's a human man with human emotions okay and gray balls follow up to the inappropriate

[05:22]export for you t-shirt his dad lived in ankeny so maybe aaron has his own t-shirt

[05:27]secret collection of similar t-shirts so aaron it turns out the guy who had and i i think it was

[05:32]a free breathalyzer blow here arrow down that guy's dad was from ankeny okay oh really maybe

[05:38]he got in the strawberry patch out there off of delaware they got a lot of good oh yeah oh yeah

[05:43]i got you pointed with your thumb like we're all like looking behind me like a delaware over there

[05:47]all right it was like state street now sorry not delaware it was other direction it was off

[05:51]state street still in business strawberry patch oh let me update my google maps yep you got it

[05:57]behind or don't kick aaron off podcast uh so aaron what is the strawberry patch in ankeny it's a place

[06:02]where you got your dirty shirts like uh it's a you know honestly they probably didn't have that

[06:06]many dirty t-shirts maybe it was like i bet it was like a behind the counter kind of thing no it's

[06:10]like it was like where when your softball team was getting jerseys printed up you went and did

[06:15]them at the strawberry patch or you know it's like baseball season you're gonna get your number on

[06:18]the back it's the you know you take them out to the strawberry patch and they get it done for you

[06:22]so this but we just found out that this gentleman was from ankeny

[06:27]the dad of the job oh my god the story okay so the guy comes into the hot tub repair shop or

[06:32]wherever this lady was working right and he's got i think it was a hot tub repair shop if i remember

[06:36]and then he's got he has broken up with her right and he's like here's how i picture it he's at the

[06:42]hot tub they're at the hot tub repair shop somebody's going listen this hot tub doesn't

[06:45]work for shit i brought it in can you fix it they're looking at they're like i don't know

[06:49]we could take a look at it but this is a we're backed up we got hot tubs all over the place

[06:52]uh and this boyfriend comes and goes baby please i need you back and meanwhile he's

[06:57]wearing a breathalyzer uh free breathalyzer blow here with arrows pointed down uh to his

[07:02]genitals implying oral sex uh and then he says oh okay you're gonna break up with me well better

[07:08]go visit my dad in ankeny then he drives there yeah honestly you know what i'm i shouldn't have

[07:13]dragged the strawberry patch through the mud on that one that was probably purchased somewhere

[07:16]closer to like say dell out off of highway 69 that wasn't really that's not really an ankeny

[07:20]style t-shirt you probably had to go outside of town for that yeah ankeny has a no dirty t-shirt

[07:25]rule somebody did text us by the way

[07:27]a pair of boxers that say release the kraken on them oh i like that i was thinking that would

[07:32]be so much pressure wouldn't it it would be instead of like is this a pencil eraser you

[07:40]know something like that like it's the kraken i'm sorry to disappoint you but we made it this

[07:46]far we might as well keep going like it's a lot to fit on a pair of boxers but we also got a

[07:51]voicemail and guess what it's a recent voicemail from joe buck yeah try to guess if this person

[07:56]is drunk or not

[07:57]okay hi i have a question this is krista does it make it easier to record your songs for

[08:06]before the episode when your shirt is off does that make it easier or harder that's all i'm

[08:15]wondering to record the parodies bye yeah so uh matt tonight was out to dinner with uh said guest

[08:22]on the show or said super fan of the show he gave me a yeah he gave me he gave me a facetime call

[08:27]dumb shit said said dumb shit listener he gave me a facetime call so of course i picked up because

[08:31]i was like oh facetime call this must be an absolute emergency uh and like with so many

[08:36]podcast interactions they saw me with my shirt off and said oh my god why is your shirt off and

[08:39]i'm like well it's 10 o'clock in my house like i i can kind of do what i want and then i told them

[08:44]hey i'm working on a parody song do you want to hear it and they were kind of like no and then

[08:48]that was it that was the whole conversation that has to be a bummer for you rob you had to be super

[08:52]excited thinking they were going to be pumped to hear your parody song and then when they said

[08:55]that it'd be killer for you didn't it i i have high expectations because every time i play my

[09:00]parody songs you guys laugh your ass off like you guys think it's so funny and then i play for other

[09:04]people and they're like who's russell what's the advice corner i'm like oh yeah that's right you

[09:07]need to only listen to uh 68 episodes before this one to understand what the hell i'm talking about

[09:12]and start at episode zero it's fantastic i did go down a huge rabbit hole though russell when you

[09:17]said oh go listen to the christmas uh introduction song and see if you laugh your ass off and sure

[09:23]enough i did right away i laughed my ass off public service

[09:25]announcement to all of our listeners go back listen to the christmas episode the first four

[09:30]minutes 12 days of the terrible podcast feed it's a great parody song check it out so then i listened

[09:36]to that and i listened to a couple other intro songs and i just thought to myself i'm not doing

[09:39]nearly as well now what i'm doing now is not as good as these and then i got depressed again so

[09:44]thank you so much even listening to like stuff i'm proud of i was like i'm actually garbage this

[09:48]is no good so oh sad oh no that's my life so are you guys not going to comment on the fact that i'm

[09:54]not wearing a shirt now have i ever said that i'm not wearing a shirt now i'm not wearing a shirt now

[09:55]have i ever recorded without a shirt on like this almost every other time i would say

[09:59]fairly too often yep wait did i spill a couple pieces of pepperoni on here nope oh no no uh

[10:38]you rolling going rob you mentioned going to the advice corner guys i need advice on multiple parts

[10:44]of my life i need to go to the corner i decided to hit the sound clips faster there's a lot of

[10:50]like downtime when i'm looking for the clips so i'm just going to hit them as soon as i think

[10:53]you want to hear them okay

[10:55]okay rob sometimes i use silence all i want to do is make love oh i thought you wanted that one

[11:01]that's my bad yes every time i put my hand up i want to hear that one again wait did you want it

[11:06]did you say that you wanted to hear uh a great beavis and butthead impression yeah

[11:10]i isolated this from last week's episode

[11:16]how are you supposed to do a beavis and butthead impression let's hear yours

[11:22]let's hear it here we go let's hear it rob

[11:24]he said six pence

[11:27]that's pretty good that's pretty good bad is that good or what okay but wait a minute that's

[11:33]excellent i wanted you to hear russ's beavis impression at the end of this listen to this

[11:37]impression what is that isn't that a beavis impression they laughed differently they didn't

[11:43]laugh the same that's but it wasn't like it's true there what do you think it was

[11:48]what was your impression of it i actually only did the impression of the neighbor

[11:54]oh you boys whacking it in my trailer stuff like that okay this wasn't even funny like 15 years ago

[12:00]what at 15 i'm sorry i meant 30 years ago when i did it at first so i apologize russell what's

[12:05]your rolling going speaking of acts that were were famous 30 years ago matt i don't know if

[12:10]you're going this sunday night but the rolling stones are in town and they're going to u.s bank

[12:14]stadium and i needed to get advice from you guys on the right way to go to a concert matt you go

[12:19]to a concert slot aaron you've been to a bunch rob you've been to a bunch of them you guys have

[12:22]been to more than me so i need to get your advice on how do you go to a concert my first question

[12:26]was when i'm looking at the ticket prices they're just insanely priced for the lower deck like

[12:31]you've got to pay three four five hundred dollars if you want to sit in the lower deck so the

[12:36]question is is it worth it to pay all that money to sit in the lower deck or can you pay like the

[12:41]80 and sit way up in the nosebleeds at a football stadium for a concert i will answer that at u.s

[12:52]anything that is a two or three in front of it and as far as the section just forget about it there

[12:58]is no acoustics in that place it is horrible you need to sit lower you need to sit as low as you

[13:04]can and as close to the stage which has the speakers on either side of it there's some

[13:08]speakers behind you you absolutely need to sit in and i'll tell you i don't know if you've been

[13:12]watching russell but i've been watching hourly all these tickets are going because they were 396

[13:18]for like the best seats with fees or without fees

[13:22]without fees yeah and so then you know i mean you know add another 70 bucks to that

[13:26]396 it's super expensive there's so many seats remaining right the tickets can only go back down

[13:33]well in the last at about six o'clock this evening some of the sections about half the

[13:38]sections that were 396 went down to 246 so just wait it out russell did you realize you're talking

[13:44]to the rain man of ticket sales over here i kind of figured that's why i brought it up

[13:47]about two hours before the concert so when is the

[13:52]time to buy tickets for a concert two hours before how many people are you going with how

[13:57]many tickets do you need to buy under three under three so okay so more than one more than one but

[14:03]not but under three somewhere there yeah yeah well that makes the difference in how much you

[14:09]pay to go to a concert if you're buying one or multiple tickets right if you're going under three

[14:14]but over one yes you wait till about two hours before if you're going with under two but over

[14:19]zero then i would wait till about four and then i would wait till about five and then i would wait

[14:22]five minutes before that thing shuts off i can tell you my daughter and i went to get harry

[14:27]styles tickets outside of madison square garden so we just went and sat outside here madison square

[14:31]garden and everybody you know it's kind of fun because everybody was dressed up going in and

[14:36]then the scalpers came out and my daughter's like what's going on i was like oh these guys have fake

[14:40]paper tickets and sure enough we saw somebody buy some and then try to get in get denied and

[14:45]then the cops came looking for whoever sold it to him my daughter was horrified that people she's

[14:49]like what you can't do you can't just sell fake tickets and i go yeah this is a good lesson you

[14:53]cannot just go down to madison square garden and buy tickets they can't get in with the fake

[14:57]tickets i said no and we can't get in either because these are too expensive so let's get a

[15:01]slice of pizza and go home she's like oh no you took your daughter to the concert hoping she was

[15:05]going to get in then you said we can't go and you left yep cheapest ticket was 350 dollars russell

[15:10]and she doesn't hate you forever for that no what no i because i said there's a there's a 10 chance

[15:15]we're getting in there's almost no way is that okay she said daddy fat stacks denied his daughter's

[15:19]daughter going into guys i am not paying 700 to see fucking harry styles i i barely know one of

[15:27]his songs rob knows her love language is quality time so as long as she's hanging out with rob

[15:31]she's good he can take her anywhere any kind of disappointment she'll deal with it as long as she

[15:36]gets to hang out with rob he knows that he's a super and it was fun outside when i said to the

[15:39]crowd oh my god there's harry styles and everybody ran and then i laughed you know i need some more

[15:45]advice from you guys so now i got it figured out i gotta wait for two hours before if i get in there

[15:49]dumped right before the concert i can wait until five minutes before the concert and then i

[15:53]write this down i gotta figure it out so the next question i have is there has been a change in

[15:59]restaurants now a lot of restaurants charge what's called a service fee if you guys go out to eat or

[16:04]you go out to a drink restaurants now charge a service fee and so i know a lot of them do this

[16:09]normally i just ignore it i just tip on top of it i don't even think about it but the other night i

[16:13]went out for a nice dinner and there was this service fee tacked on 22 percent and it specifically

[16:19]says this is not a gratuity but it goes directly to the staff to provide whatever sort of wage

[16:25]and so then i had this moment i'm like wait what am i supposed to do are you supposed to tip on top

[16:30]of the service fee do you provide no tip or do you provide a smaller tip what do you tip because

[16:36]those restaurants are lying they are 100 telling lies so you should what do you mean they're not

[16:43]giving that money to the staff it's happened many times there's hundreds of news stories about

[16:47]restaurants who are charging service fees and then they're not giving that money to the staff

[16:49]they get sued over wage theft because they weren't actually paying that to their employees

[16:54]so you can't trust restaurants they're shady business i love restaurants i love food but

[16:58]they're shady business so they're lying you got a tip and you can ask a lot of aaron's ex-girlfriends

[17:02]about what they think about a little tip you know they don't like because they work in the service

[17:05]business that's what i mean and they don't like it you know it's no good matt you used to run a

[17:11]restaurant did you ever charge these service fees no different times i mean you know i i think of it

[17:19]they have to they just have to have these if they're going to stay open right i mean and like

[17:25]provide health insurance and stuff like that i don't know i mean that that's just the times

[17:30]we're in right and i don't know i just it's not fun it doesn't feel good to be paying these things

[17:37]but at the same time i i'm like i'm like aaron i love going to restaurants and if that's the price

[17:43]to to get in right now then that's what we've got to do i don't know we're really at the stage where

[17:48]if you go somewhere and you're not paying for the food you're not paying for the food you're not

[17:49]you think something's going to cost a hundred bucks it's really going to cost with tip service

[17:54]fee tax almost 200 right it's almost like you're buying it's like you're buying uh rolling stones

[17:59]tickets oh yeah you just yeah i mean you can't save money unless you stay home

[18:04]i'm thinking about picking a fight not having to bring someone else to this concert just so it's

[18:10]a little cheaper that happened to me russell when i was going to climb mount everest i got there

[18:14]and they called they they charged me a whole bunch of extra sherpa's fees

[18:19]okay so aaron walked away from the zoom he was the only one wait till he comes back here

[18:24]sorry i had to check uh there's a leak in my garage roof i had to make sure my bucket is in

[18:28]the right place okay well you can pull your pants back up okay you don't need to take a leak in your

[18:32]garage right now we're doing a podcast for god's sakes uh did you hear that aaron i said sherpa's

[18:37]fees i heard it yes oh shit so desperate for laughs i'll provide them rob was that a sure

[18:49]puffy joke that i missed or not is this a sherpa's feed russell loves it listen to this

[18:56]sherpa's fees he thinks it's so funny oh

[18:59]oh they're really good to be there the last thing i had to ask you guys when you go to restaurants

[19:07]are you dessert guys you always have to get a dessert i know rob you you're an ice cream guy

[19:12]that's all you can have but you guys get dessert and then the question is have you ever been to a

[19:17]nice restaurant that has mini donuts on the menu as a dessert and you're like oh my god i'm going to

[19:19]dessert and would you get them in that situation oh wow 100 i have been to a restaurant with uh

[19:25]mini donuts and 100 i have gotten them with some chocolate they have different dipping sauces

[19:29]usually like a little chocolate dipping sauce yum yum yum love mini donuts the fact that you do you

[19:34]do kind of have to wonder like paying 15 when i'm like i'm kind of used to like two dollars

[19:38]i'm kind of used to paying like two dollars for a bag at the fair where i can wash it

[19:44]flipped into the oil but okay whatever that's what i thought i was like i don't think we should

[19:49]get it

[19:49]at some fancy restaurant you can get these anywhere then then the waiter that i probably

[19:55]under tip now now that i know the rule about service fees he brought us out uh an order of

[20:01]mini donuts just on the house and they were amazing mini donuts are great no matter where

[20:05]you go i can tell you the number one problem not the number one problem in my marriage right now

[20:09]uh but it's up there is that well jenny has gone dessert crazy okay when we go out to restaurants

[20:15]now she will order at a minimum two desserts

[20:19]and once we were out the four of us okay me two little kids my wife she ordered four desserts

[20:26]there were four desserts on the menu she could not decide which ones she wanted so she ordered

[20:30]all of them it was obscene okay and of course everybody looks at me as the big guy like oh

[20:35]four desserts i'm like i don't want any desserts i don't want this is my wife she has lost her

[20:40]mind and then she has like a bite of each she's like oh these are so good i'm like this was like

[20:44]an extra hundred dollars these four desserts what are we doing no service fee i'm generally not a

[20:48]dessert guy i will typically uh just have another whiskey instead of having a dessert but uh i would

[20:54]make it i would make an exception for the mini donuts if i went somewhere that had mini donuts

[20:57]do you really not get desserts no not usually yeah usually what what about appetizers drink instead

[21:03]well yeah i mean depending on how hungry i am are you rocking appetizers or desserts if you have a

[21:08]choice you got to have one for the rest of your life you can't have the other which one are you

[21:11]picking oh appetizers i'm a savory guy like i would do pizza over sweets any anytime matt is

[21:16]pizza an appetizer he just said pizza is an appetizer what the fuck is he talking to pizza

[21:20]can be an appetizer or dessert oh just depends on you know what kind of evening we're talking about

[21:27]here that sounds like real loser talk it's like well better have a pizza appetizer matt what are

[21:32]you appetizer or dessert guy um i'm you know a little bit of both i guess you know like i think

[21:38]i would prefer an appetizer but you know those one or two times out of every 10 times you go out to

[21:45]dinner that you get a dessert man that's pretty darn good you know we were talking about this

[21:48]like you know like the 27 layer cake i mean you could have like four bites of that yeah you don't

[21:54]have to eat all 27 layers you can have like seven layers can i do like four can i do three or four

[21:58]layers please you know that's all i want i'm gonna speak for our audience when i say that you guys are

[22:02]fucking morons you would choose appetizers over desserts that's the dumbest shit i've ever heard

[22:06]oh i love deep fried shit get the fuck out of here give me a cake give me some ice cream

[22:12]and some more ice cream here we go yeah i'm just

[22:15]i would much rather i mean what's the best appetizer that you guys think what's the number

[22:19]one a tier appetizer you think about it every time and i know russ is gonna say pork belly but

[22:25]what are you guys gonna say it's got to be a terrible charcuterie board right it's got to be

[22:28]a bunch of fucking nuts and ham and cheese on a plate on a wood plate put some olives on there

[22:34]maybe some jelly bread yeah a couple spreads yeah i like it i'm gonna go with the i'm gonna

[22:40]i'm gonna go with the the deep fried i like samosas samosas with like a lot of cheese and

[22:45]like a nice curry dipping sauce that's the best appetizer that's not fair you say samosas and then

[22:50]i say it's bad and then i look really bad saying that that is so not fair that's actually culturally

[22:55]insensitive against me who wants to rip on samosas okay that's terrible that you would put me in this

[23:01]position i'm outraged aaron and you're going to compare those things that you just said to like

[23:04]a great banana cream pudding with some nilla wafers in there oh give me that right now i

[23:10]didn't realize we were talking about nilla wafers now yeah oh guess what you can't have any because

[23:15]desserts and that's the decision you made in my scenario that i made up idiot dumbass i've never

[23:20]actually been this mad at you guys on the podcast as i am now that you guys would rather have

[23:23]appetizers than desserts hey rob rob look at me i get the appetizer and the dessert well yeah

[23:29]obviously i do too i mean i'm not an animal i do what i want aaron and matt have some discipline

[23:34]the rest of us fuck that noise i've got a great job and i tricked a doctor into marrying me i can

[23:38]have both if i want guess what mom and dad i order out

[23:45]unless it's going to the harry styles concert then i'm like nope no dessert no appetizer no nothing

[23:56]what my daughter did she watched the concert on instagram live so i was like well there you go you

[24:01]just watched the concert anyway what's what's the big deal she's like oh yeah i've watched a bunch

[24:04]of these like why are we doing this this seems like grounds for for multiple problems with your

[24:10]kids going forward taking them to a concert and then saying but we'll actually we're not going in

[24:15]on my phone that seems like a bad way to go through life we'll see how it works for me on

[24:20]sunday when i try it i told him myerson square garden closed i was like oh no it closed we got

[24:24]to go uh rosie rolling going how's it going with you oh it's going great i have a few things to

[24:29]discuss but i want to actually uh i want to actually piggyback on russell's rolling going

[24:35]and ask i have a similar conundrum i really need to see dune should i see it in the theater or

[24:41]should i stay home and see it on hbo max thanks to one of our listeners for my parroted subscription

[24:46]can i tell you can i tell you right now that uh you should go see it in a 4dx theater have you

[24:52]been in a 4dx theater yet no i've never heard of such a thing i took my daughters the other day and

[24:57]we saw um shangas shang no that doesn't come out till february i texted my daughter today and says

[25:03]hey jackass doesn't come out till february she was so mad she was furious but we went and saw uh

[25:08]shang chi the legend of the rings and these seats shang chi the legend of the rings and these seats

[25:09]shang chi the legend of the rings and these seats shang chi the legend of the rings and these seats

[25:09]shang chi the legend of the rings and these seats shang chi the legend of the rings and these seats

[25:09]and these seats you go in and you sit down and the seats move around anytime it moves they spray

[25:16]air on you they spray smells at you they spray you with water when it goes in the water there's

[25:20]lights flashing there's fans blowing it i there was four people i spent like 120 bucks best money

[25:27]i've ever spent in my life i will not go see another movie that is not throwing these seats

[25:32]moved around so much that my popcorn flew out of the chair thing that it was being held in like

[25:37]that's how much i was getting flung around it was

[25:39]awesome it kicked ass you need to go see it in a 40x theater now okay bring your kid it will

[25:45]terrify them good advice i don't want to i do want to hear from uh russell and matt on this and i don't

[25:51]want to be the first one to take it there but um so when you go see porn in the 40x theater what's

[25:55]what's that experience like yeah well i can tell you the motion gets it does make you a little

[26:01]seasick uh but the smells are great you know i thought what so matt matt i heard a vote for

[26:08]theater from you well i've heard i've heard a lot of people talking about this that the

[26:15]sound effects at the movie are unbelievable okay you can't i mean any home theater that you have

[26:21]yeah not gonna cannot do it any sort of justice right like you absolutely need to go to the

[26:25]theater to just experience the sound all around you so love it good that's just what i've heard

[26:31]yeah thank you plus i think in a movie theater in theory you could get an appetizer and a dessert

[26:38]food at a movie theater some nachos some nachos and some milk onion rings all at the same time

[26:43]get some candy then you go see the movie i think you got to go to a theater for a movie you really

[26:48]want to see it's an experience it's a thing you're not like pausing your you're not sitting

[26:53]back on your peloton and watching it like suzanne or susan or whatever her name was was on the

[26:58]podcast weeks ago we haven't heard any comments about her since that first week she wasn't that

[27:03]popular rob did not have a long tail did not stick around if you're just walking watching it home

[27:08]with the family it's not an experience if you go into the theater you you find a spot you get some

[27:12]popcorn you do your thing i think you got to go to the theater for a movie you want to see i like

[27:17]it guys i appreciate the advice i'm gonna go see it in the theater and report back i do want to say

[31:46]aaron's rolling going there that was great whoever did that i appreciate it yeah yeah

[31:50]edit good job russell command e to edit that part out okay here we go

[31:54]uh i got i got it you know i i didn't prepare much this week i just i no i had a very boring

[32:02]question compared to the rest of you guys we're gonna make it fun okay well i kind of figure it's

[32:06]dessert versus appetizers because i have strong opinions and i think i've changed my mind i have

[32:11]been back to the office uh for a couple months now and i'm walking around the skyway system of

[32:18]minneapolis right yeah just at night or in the middle of the day you got to get some exercise

[32:23]things like that right and so what is your each of you what is your and rob i'm waiting for yours

[32:31]because you live in new york i you know i i have this thing where i have to kind of like look at

[32:35]everybody and say hi if they're looking at me i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm like oh my

[32:36]god i'm looking back at me i can't just keep walking by him without like at least giving like

[32:41]a little bit of a little look there's just even just a little head nod and then just kind of give

[32:46]a uh hi how you doing if i catch their eye what is your guys when you're passing by people on the

[32:52]street are you just head down go forward don't talk to them or do you give a look i when i'm in

[33:00]new york city i love to get stabbed so i love to go around and talk to everybody and say hey how

[33:04]are you doing how are you doing how are you doing i'd love to get my hair done i'd love to get my hair

[33:06]done i'd love to get my ass kicked on a daily basis so i know of course i don't say anything i

[33:10]don't look at anybody i look where i'm going so they don't get in my way and that's about it you

[33:14]will get your ass kicked in new york city if you walk around saying hi and i know that because

[33:17]every time i come from minnesota it takes me a couple days not to walk into like a store and be

[33:20]like hello everybody's like what the hell is your problem i'm like oh hello sorry how does that go

[33:26]again rob hello like that yeah oh exactly i'm like hello i'm here to buy the new by the way

[33:32]did you know christmas trees reese's peanut butter cups are out too early rob could you do the hello

[33:36]a few more times so i can write a note down for a closing joke so i can come back to this

[33:41]you do one more time hello hello okay i generally say hi to people as well matt if i'm walking down

[33:47]the street but i had i had a thought about this this week too where uh my son and i were out on

[33:53]the street in front of our house where he rides his bike he's like usually after he comes home

[33:58]from school we he likes to ride his bike around the street and it's a small street pretty quiet

[34:03]and we don't know what are you drinking while he's doing this aaron you're drinking not

[34:06]this time but sometimes uh sometimes i drink a beer out there but this time i was not i knew it

[34:11]aaron's the dad of the beer out front his kid's building like a jump out of like lumber with his

[34:16]bike is like that's a fucking kick-ass jump i love that jump and we're standing in the street

[34:22]and a and a guy started like i saw a guy at the end of the street walking his dog so he's walking

[34:27]toward us and the awkward thing for me is when do you say hello right because we see the guy we're

[34:36]we clearly see each other but it would be weird if i waved and said hello like when he's 50 feet

[34:43]away no how do you say the moment where we actually acknowledge each other even though we're the only

[34:47]people on the street and we are clearly gonna say hi when do you actually say hi that was that was

[34:52]a tough one were you wearing a shirt or no shirt sure a shirt you had a shirt on yep no beer that

[34:57]changes everything that changes the whole equation so aaron let me ask you this are you a human or

[35:02]are you a robot who has just been heard about humans like what is your problem you don't know

[35:05]when to say hi to somebody like you just

[35:06]look and go hey then they go hey and then that's it like it's like you make eye contact from you

[35:11]know 50 100 feet away that's too early to say hey you gotta wait till they get a little bit closer

[35:15]to say hey when they can hear you and you know you can speak yell at it from a long distance

[35:19]the solution i've reached the point in life where i almost wear headphones everywhere i go now

[35:25]i've got earbuds and if i go to the grocery store i got earbuds in if i go anywhere where i'm by

[35:32]myself and i'm just walking somewhere like if i were in the skyway man i've got earbuds in

[35:36]So people aren't going to expect to like have any sort of hello moment with me.

[35:41]But what I do is I give them like the nod and like the point, like the point, like a,

[35:45]Hey, I was like, like a little salute.

[35:47]Like we talked about before.

[35:48]I do a little salute, a little nod, but there's no hello because I got headphones in, which

[35:53]means I don't have to talk to you.

[35:54]Can I just tell you that there's a, there's a lot of spots where I walk and I try to look

[35:59]as mean as possible.

[36:00]So nobody will talk to me.

[36:01]What do you mean?

[36:02]I look like I go like, I look, I try to look like if anybody talks to me, I'm going to

[36:06]fuck their shit up because I do not want, cause it's, I'm in a terrifying part of town

[36:10]and I have to look tough.

[36:11]Otherwise I'm in big trouble.

[36:12]Oh, cause I'm always wearing like a brightly colored shirt that says like, you know, Beck

[36:15]did it better.

[36:16]And it's like, Oh, these guys are going to kick my ass.

[36:18]Not listen to the podcast.

[36:19]I'm not even going to get any downloads.

[36:20]You still wear the, what's it called?

[36:24]Breathalyzer suck ear.

[36:25]What was that shirt?

[36:26]Russell thinks that on a breathalyzer, you're sucking here.

[36:33]He gets a breathalyzer.

[36:35]He's like, Oh,

[36:35]I'd love to have a breathalyzer.

[36:36]I wasn't the one who wore the shirt.

[36:37]How am I supposed to know what the shirt said?

[36:39]He goes, Oh, this drink is not as good.

[36:41]Listen, have you ever had an Irish eyes?

[36:43]It's made with cream and some green stuff and some cream.

[36:46]I'm not, I'm not the one who was dating the dude who had a dad from Ankeny.

[36:52]I'm not supposed to know this stuff.

[36:53]Rob rolling, going, how's it going with you?

[36:58]Okay.

[36:58]So the other day I'm out walking my dog, right?

[37:00]Take a dog out for a walk.

[37:02]Come back in the elevator, come up.

[37:04]Uh, and as,

[37:06]for coming up,

[37:06]I always like to do a fun thing where I unclip the dog's leash so that the

[37:10]dog and this dog is like the size of a small pillow.

[37:12]I, so I get off the elevator, right?

[37:15]And, and I,

[37:16]I unclip the dog so the dog can run down the hallway to the apartment

[37:18]kind of with no leash.

[37:19]It's kind of fun.

[37:20]So I unclip the dog.

[37:22]I get off the elevator, uh, doors closed, turn around.

[37:25]Dog is not with me.

[37:26]Dog is not there.

[37:27]Not.

[37:28]I'm like, Hmm.

[37:30]Okay.

[37:31]So where is it?

[37:32]And I realized the dog has stayed on the elevator.

[37:36]The elevator doors have closed.

[37:37]So I pushed the, I'm on floor 14.

[37:40]So I pushed the down arrow.

[37:41]Elevator does not open back up.

[37:43]The elevator is gone.

[37:44]It has gone to a different floor with said dog on the elevator.

[37:47]Okay.

[37:48]Do not know what's good.

[37:50]So I'm like, well, what do I do?

[37:51]Cause there's no indicator of which floor it's going to.

[37:53]So this dog could be getting off.

[37:55]This is like that old Nintendo game elevator action, you know,

[37:57]where I'm kind of going up and down and people are shooting at me,

[37:59]except it's just me looking for a dog.

[38:02]So I'm holding a leash, right?

[38:04]Like a crazy person getting on the elevator,

[38:05]going up,

[38:06]up and down,

[38:06]looking for my dog going to all these different floors.

[38:09]Finally go down to the lobby.

[38:10]Dog is standing there by the door to go outside.

[38:13]Oh no.

[38:14]So I'm like,

[38:15]that means that somebody got on the elevator and there was just a dog on

[38:20]there with them.

[38:21]Right.

[38:21]Rode the elevator down to the lobby.

[38:24]Then the dog got off in the lobby with the person.

[38:26]The person was just like, okay.

[38:27]And then just left with the dog in the lobby.

[38:29]I was like, what?

[38:30]This doesn't make any sense.

[38:31]Like didn't bring him to the front desk.

[38:32]Didn't do anything.

[38:33]So the dog went on a little bit of a joy ride to all the different

[38:36]floors.

[38:36]I mean,

[38:37]I don't blame them.

[38:38]It's not their job to take care of your,

[38:39]your,

[38:40]your dog.

[38:41]You take care of the dog.

[38:42]Like what are they supposed to do?

[38:43]No,

[38:43]no,

[38:44]no,

[38:44]no.

[38:44]I put the dog on a leash and care for it for like multiple hours.

[38:47]You're missing the point,

[38:48]right?

[38:48]The dog was having fun.

[38:49]I was going to let the dog run down the hall.

[38:51]Instead,

[38:51]he was very naughty and he stayed on the elevator and rode up and

[38:54]down.

[38:54]Not my fault.

[38:55]Actually the dog's fault.

[38:55]Okay.

[38:56]So the dog was punished for that.

[38:57]Maybe your dog thought it was going to be the star of one of those

[39:00]Milo and Otis movies or whatever those movies were just featuring

[39:04]dogs.

[39:05]I hope not.

[39:06]Cause if you look Milo's,

[39:07]they went through like 15 dogs.

[39:08]They were not very good at keeping those dogs alive.

[39:11]It's a real bummer.

[39:11]If you watch that movie,

[39:12]which I make your dog could have survived a weekend in New York city

[39:16]before you pick them up somewhere.

[39:17]No,

[39:18]my dog can't survive anything.

[39:19]My dog barely survives in the apartment.

[39:21]Do you know what he ate the other?

[39:23]You know what I pulled out of his butt the other day,

[39:24]a half chewed pair of my underwear.

[39:26]I had to pull it out.

[39:27]It was stuck in there.

[39:28]I had to pull it.

[39:28]It was like starting a lawnmower.

[39:30]It was not fun to do.

[39:31]Oh no.

[39:32]Okay.

[39:33]He seemed relieved.

[39:34]He actually liked it quite a bit.

[39:35]I think,

[39:35]I think that might be part of the,

[39:36]the problem.

[39:36]So was there a point Rob,

[39:38]where you're going down the elevator,

[39:39]you're thinking how much is my family going to hate me if I lost this dog

[39:43]or,

[39:43]or,

[39:44]or what's your,

[39:45]what's your line of thinking when the dog is missing?

[39:47]What are you thinking when you're going down the elevator?

[39:49]I'm thinking,

[39:50]yeah,

[39:50]that the dog is not only going to get off on somebody's floor,

[39:52]he's going to go to a door that he thinks is our apartment.

[39:55]Cause all the floors look the same.

[39:56]And then he's just going to try to get in the wrong apartment.

[39:59]They might take him in and I don't have a collar on him with his name

[40:02]because it makes too much noise when he's walking around.

[40:04]So this dog might just be gone.

[40:06]Right.

[40:06]So I might just have to tell the kids like,

[40:08]Oh,

[40:09]dog died,

[40:10]saving some kids in the river.

[40:11]Sorry about that.

[40:12]Instead of dog died,

[40:13]going up and down the elevator because I wasn't paying attention.

[40:16]The dog was doing your comedy bit where he acts like he's going to jump in

[40:20]front of the subway,

[40:21]but it went terribly wrong.

[40:24]Thank you for acknowledging.

[40:25]That's a comedy bit.

[40:27]Nobody else does.

[40:27]Every time you do that going forward,

[40:29]Robin have,

[40:30]we would have way more significant.

[40:31]Oh yeah.

[40:32]They would,

[40:32]it would really mess the kids up.

[40:33]That's really a good idea.

[40:34]Russell.

[40:34]I like that.

[40:35]I should,

[40:36]I should be a little fake dog.

[40:37]Toss it out in front of the subway.

[40:39]When it's coming by,

[40:39]watch those kids scream.

[40:40]And then the other thing is I'm thinking about just switching to jock straps,

[40:44]just getting rid of underwear in general,

[40:46]just going jock straps.

[40:47]What are you guys thinking about that?

[40:48]Yeah.

[40:49]Like old guys at the gym,

[40:50]just jock straps.

[40:51]I kind of want to do that.

[40:53]I want to have nothing on my butt.

[40:54]And I don't think I can wear a thong without getting judged.

[40:56]What's wrong with the,

[40:58]the current layers of coverage on your butt that doesn't work for you.

[41:01]Well,

[41:02]I guess it does work for me.

[41:04]Like I,

[41:04]I guess I don't,

[41:05]I guess I don't.

[41:05]Essentially.

[41:06]You're saying you want to be a thong guy.

[41:07]I would love to be a thong guy.

[41:09]If it was okay for men to wear thongs,

[41:11]I would wear thongs.

[41:12]Hey,

[41:12]Matt's back.

[41:12]I would wear thongs.

[41:14]If I could,

[41:15]would you guys honestly,

[41:17]honestly,

[41:18]if it was okay for men to wear thongs,

[41:20]would you?

[41:20]No,

[41:21]no,

[41:22]no.

[41:22]Why?

[41:24]What's the point?

[41:25]What's the point?

[41:27]I think it's great.

[41:28]Well,

[41:28]the thing is,

[41:29]is that the point of the thong is that I think it feels good.

[41:33]I always assumed,

[41:34]I don't know.

[41:35]Right.

[41:36]Oh,

[41:36]if you're wearing like tight pants,

[41:38]it covers up like the,

[41:39]the line.

[41:40]Right.

[41:40]So that you,

[41:40]you don't see that.

[41:41]Are you concerned about the line,

[41:43]Rob?

[41:43]Yeah.

[41:44]Are you concerned about the line?

[41:45]Yes,

[41:46]I am.

[41:46]I can't see the line.

[41:48]Can you Rob?

[41:48]You guys,

[41:49]I just think it's,

[41:50]I just think men's underwear.

[41:52]Listen,

[41:53]men's underwear is so boring,

[41:54]right?

[41:55]It's so boring.

[41:56]Like I've gone from the,

[41:57]the,

[41:58]when I started in high school,

[41:59]I was like super loose flannel boxers that did nothing.

[42:02]It was like,

[42:02]where there's no reason to wear them.

[42:04]They did absolutely nothing.

[42:05]Then,

[42:06]I switched to kind of more like a box,

[42:08]boxer briefs.

[42:09]I now shop for underwear online and Amazon.

[42:12]And I look for the reviews of what I look for reviews of the underwear and Amazon.

[42:17]And all the guys in the reviews are talking about how does this make your bulge look?

[42:21]Well,

[42:22]you've talked about the bowl.

[42:23]Yeah.

[42:24]I already said,

[42:24]so I only buy underwear now that are,

[42:26]they're a little bit too small,

[42:28]but the bulge is fantastic.

[42:29]My concern with jock straps is the waistband,

[42:32]man.

[42:32]Those are not comfortable.

[42:33]That's not going to,

[42:34]you got to get underwear that are meant to be worn all day.

[42:36]A jock strap is meant to be worn for a short period of time for some short,

[42:39]violent efforts.

[42:40]Do old guys not wear a jock strap all the time?

[42:42]I thought they were always wearing one.

[42:43]Rob,

[42:44]what do you wear?

[42:44]What do you wear when you wear your singlet?

[42:46]What do you wear when you wear your singlet for a weightlifting event?

[42:48]You have to wear tighty whiteys.

[42:50]It's,

[42:50]it's a rule,

[42:51]except they don't check it as much anymore,

[42:53]but they did when I started.

[42:54]So I always pull them out at the equipment check in the beginning.

[42:57]I'm like,

[42:57]here's my underwear.

[42:58]And then I was like,

[42:58]oh,

[42:59]okay,

[42:59]weirdo.

[43:00]So you're saying for the,

[43:01]the,

[43:01]the event,

[43:02]you can't wear a thong slash jock strap for that event,

[43:06]right?

[43:06]No,

[43:06]I'd have to wear.

[43:07]I,

[43:08]and plus the spandex.

[43:09]Sometimes when it spreads,

[43:10]you can see through it.

[43:11]I learned that the hard way at the gym one day when I didn't wear underwear

[43:14]under my spandex.

[43:15]So that is so,

[43:19]okay.

[43:20]I've agreed.

[43:20]We all wear,

[43:21]should wear thongs.

[43:21]I think that's a great idea.

[43:22]Beck did a better male thongs.

[43:23]Think about it.

[43:24]We don't want to see a thong.

[43:26]I like those old school,

[43:27]regular draws.

[43:28]It's time for nobody's favorite part of the show.

[43:31]Let's talk.

[43:32]I'm taking it this time.

[43:33]I'm taking that transition.

[43:34]I like it.

[43:35]Thank you.

[43:36]Outcast.

[43:37]Of course is Andre 3000 and big boy,

[43:39]two friends that met in Atlanta high school and had their coming out party

[43:42]and one of the most infamous events in the hip hop history.

[43:44]The 1995 source awards was all about the East versus West,

[43:47]but their initial album,

[43:49]ATL aliens showed that the South was an up and coming force in hip hop.

[43:52]They lived up to the hype on their third album,

[43:54]the easy to pronounce.

[43:55]Equimini and took hip hop into the future with deep story.

[43:59]Rob it's,

[44:00]I believe it's aqua mini with deep story.

[44:02]Storytelling mixed with insane flows and live horns.

[44:04]Outcast would continue to change the definition of hip hop with stankonia

[44:07]released on Halloween in the year 2000,

[44:09]moving farther away from the simple sampling and drum beats of the two

[44:12]Georgians found boring.

[44:13]They created their masterpiece and the same time started a signal of the end

[44:17]of outcast as a group.

[44:18]Well,

[44:18]they didn't declare their differences like they would on the next album.

[44:21]You can pick and choose the big boy and Andre 3000 songs on this one.

[44:24]They were drifting apart.

[44:26]And then now T toller Andre 3000 often recording from home.

[44:28]Well,

[44:28]big boy still made sure the gang was there to throw down funky beats.

[44:32]The album yielded their first top 10 hit with miss Jackson and many

[44:36]consider it the ultimate screw job that this album lost the Grammy or best

[44:40]album to the soundtrack of brother.

[44:42]Where art though?

[44:42]Oh,

[44:43]great soundtrack.

[44:44]It's time for these men of constant sorrow to dive into the album.

[44:47]Let's listen to what many consider one of the tentpoles of hip hop with

[44:51]stankonia.

[44:51]You think that should have won the best album though?

[44:56]Pretty fucking good.

[44:58]Not better than this.

[44:59]No,

[44:59]absolutely not.

[45:00]I guarantee there's a better opener.

[45:02]Than this interlude track.

[45:03]Russell's got an extra grant about the earth.

[45:07]Seven light years below sea level.

[45:10]We go.

[45:11]Welcome to Stanko.

[45:13]Oh no,

[45:13]this was old brother.

[45:14]Where art thou?

[45:14]I clicked the wrong one.

[45:15]That's my bad.

[45:16]Is this like a McCartney Lennon thing?

[45:18]Are they not getting along on this where they're doing their own thing for each

[45:21]track or how is that?

[45:22]What's going on here?

[45:23]Well,

[45:24]that's where they want that where they went for speaker box.

[45:26]Love below,

[45:27]right?

[45:27]Is that they were,

[45:28]they were totally separate albums.

[45:30]Yeah.

[45:31]All right.

[45:32]I think this one from what you read,

[45:33]they were still collaborating.

[45:34]I mean,

[45:35]because this was their first album in the studio that they owned,

[45:38]right?

[45:38]So they had everybody hanging out in the studio,

[45:40]but I think it was,

[45:41]you read that,

[45:42]you know,

[45:43]Andre was increasingly as Rob said,

[45:45]keeping to himself,

[45:46]but I think they're still collaborating a lot,

[45:47]but you can start to hear that the fabric kind of,

[45:49]kind of rip.

[45:50]Yeah.

[45:51]Well,

[45:51]this is where Eric about do comes in.

[45:53]Right.

[45:54]I mean,

[45:54]right around this time,

[45:55]a little bit earlier than this.

[45:57]And they've,

[45:57]they've got these two divergent paths.

[45:59]I think Andre,

[46:01]you know,

[46:02]clearly goes down more of a jazzy kind of a eclectic route and,

[46:07]and big boy kind of stays on the hip hop rap side of things.

[46:11]And they're both geniuses.

[46:13]If you listen to what they've got going on,

[46:15]they're just slightly different.

[46:17]You know,

[46:17]there are two groups,

[46:18]there are two members of a group that just kind of have different artistic

[46:22]outlets that they want to take.

[46:24]I think with pairs like this,

[46:25]right.

[46:25]You either get where they go their own ways and they're both geniuses.

[46:28]We've seen that.

[46:29]I think before I'm trying to think of a group we've seen that with,

[46:31]or you have like a Simon and Garfunkel where one is basically doing all the

[46:36]work.

[46:36]And the other one is a art Garfunkel.

[46:38]And then just one goes off and does something.

[46:40]The other one is left behind playing County Ferris for the rest of his life.

[46:43]He's just got a cool name for the band.

[46:45]He's like,

[46:45]Garfunkel is a cool name for the band.

[46:47]You're in dude.

[46:48]I love how you think the name Garfunkel is like a cool name.

[46:50]It's like Garfunkel.

[46:51]Awesome name.

[46:52]Fuck.

[46:52]Yeah.

[46:53]I'll join your gang.

[46:53]Hey,

[46:53]we're the Garfunkels.

[46:54]Let's go.

[46:55]Let's get to this gasoline dreams.

[46:57]This is the real opener for this album.

[47:01]And this guitar.

[47:03]Yeah.

[47:03]And a lot of this has kind of like,

[47:04]yeah,

[47:05]I mean,

[47:05]this is such a great start.

[47:06]A lot of these tracks,

[47:07]this one,

[47:08]I think explosion coming up later,

[47:10]kind of have that West coast death row feel to me a little bit.

[47:14]And I,

[47:15]I think they were kind of going for that,

[47:16]but to do that with the sort of political flavor was very cool.

[47:21]I love this song.

[47:23]I didn't like the interlude,

[47:24]the opening.

[47:25]I think we had this in the,

[47:26]on the last outcast album where they started with kind of a,

[47:29]a skit or a short thing at the beginning,

[47:31]but,

[47:31]this song was a complete jam.

[47:33]This is now in my list of like top 10 songs that I've now become a fan of

[47:37]because,

[47:38]because of this quest.

[47:39]I loved it.

[47:40]I loved it.

[47:40]Yeah.

[47:41]What do you think of that?

[47:42]That's the real opening track is gasoline dreams.

[47:44]I mean,

[47:45]it's okay.

[47:46]Right.

[47:47]I mean,

[47:47]there's the second best song on the album,

[47:50]Matt,

[47:50]would you say that was the appetizer dessert of this album?

[47:53]It's tough to tell.

[47:54]I would say that's kind of like the salad.

[47:57]This is like,

[47:59]this is like onion rings on the,

[48:01]for the,

[48:01]for the appetizer.

[48:02]Yeah.

[48:02]On a salad.

[48:03]Okay.

[48:04]Or as my place knows it,

[48:05]the Rob,

[48:06]you guys know,

[48:07]everybody doesn't love the smell of gasoline and doesn't everybody like the taste of apple

[48:11]pie,

[48:12]but you know what?

[48:12]I do love the taste of apple pie and Rob,

[48:15]you were just at the apple orchard and it's apple season.

[48:18]So I've got to re tell you guys one of my favorite drinks and everyone's got to try out

[48:22]right now.

[48:23]Just hold up your drink and let us all take a look.

[48:26]I'm going to get a better sound clip.

[48:27]This one does not.

[48:31]What's Russell drinking?

[48:32]What am I drinking tonight?

[48:34]Because I do like the taste of apple pie.

[48:37]I've told you guys once about this before,

[48:39]but everyone on our listener has to try this apple pie,

[48:42]Moscow mule.

[48:42]We've got vodka.

[48:43]We got rum.

[48:45]We got apple cider,

[48:46]which is in season.

[48:47]Robin,

[48:48]you went all the way to this,

[48:49]this orchard.

[48:50]So you should have some fresh apple cider,

[48:53]ginger beer,

[48:54]much too heavy to carry back.

[48:55]No way.

[48:56]A slice of apple for garnish,

[48:58]a cinnamon stick,

[48:59]a lime for garnish,

[49:01]but here's the real key guys,

[49:02]a drop of vanilla.

[49:04]You put a little vanilla in there,

[49:06]makes that thing pop,

[49:07]makes it sing.

[49:08]I think I see a cinnamon stick in there.

[49:10]And I do remember that you bought cinnamon sticks for a drink previously.

[49:13]I do not see a slice of apple as a garnish anywhere.

[49:15]Well,

[49:16]they're over here.

[49:17]I'm just kind of eating these as I go.

[49:19]I just figured I would pair them with the apples instead.

[49:22]Vodka and rum together.

[49:26]Sounds like trouble.

[49:27]I don't know.

[49:27]I,

[49:28]yeah,

[49:28]you're getting close to long Island territory with that,

[49:31]with that,

[49:31]Owen Russell.

[49:32]I mean,

[49:32]I would drink it.

[49:33]Don't get me wrong.

[49:33]Is it making you too cool?

[49:35]I'm cool.

[49:36]Is it making you cool?

[49:37]Hey,

[49:39]check this out,

[49:39]Rob.

[49:40]I was not actually,

[49:40]I was going to skip.

[49:41]What are we going to do with these interludes on this?

[49:43]I was just going to skip them,

[49:44]right?

[49:44]Cause we can't sit here and listen to like 30 seconds skits.

[49:46]There's a couple I want to play.

[49:47]This I'm cool interlude is,

[49:49]is appallingly scary.

[49:50]It's too,

[49:51]it's too scary.

[49:51]It's too scary.

[49:52]I'm not playing it.

[49:53]Okay.

[49:53]So instead we're going so fresh,

[49:54]so clean.

[49:55]Ah,

[49:56]yes.

[49:56]So Russell,

[49:57]did you have all your ingredients for that drink?

[49:59]I had to go buy apple cider tonight.

[50:02]Fresh limes.

[50:03]I've been told by someone that lime juice out of little plastic lime thing.

[50:07]It's not an acceptable substitute.

[50:09]So I'm not allowed to do that anymore.

[50:12]Oh,

[50:12]and then I,

[50:14]uh,

[50:15]yeah,

[50:16]no,

[50:16]I had almost everything.

[50:17]Wow.

[50:17]That's so impressive.

[50:18]That song has got me craving a patty melt,

[50:20]but I don't want to try to make one at home.

[50:22]Oh yeah.

[50:23]I'm with you there.

[50:24]Gator belts.

[50:25]Do you have a gator belt?

[50:26]I don't have a gator belt,

[50:27]but I,

[50:27]I,

[50:28]I would,

[50:28]I would buy a gator belt for the,

[50:31]I had a,

[50:31]you know,

[50:32]our buddy Joe,

[50:33]Joe from,

[50:34]uh,

[50:34]Richfield had a Monte Carlo in high school.

[50:37]And so we look pretty cool riding in our Monte Carlo with our gator belts and patty melts,

[50:43]gator belts and patty melts.

[50:44]You know what?

[50:45]My family bought it.

[50:46]That's gator wise is you can,

[50:47]if,

[50:47]when you go to Florida,

[50:48]they just have so many gators that they're killing for meter,

[50:51]whatever you do with gators.

[50:52]I don't know,

[50:52]making belts that they take their feet and make them into back scratchers.

[50:56]The most terrifying back scratch.

[50:57]You can ever have in your whole life is just an alligator claw,

[51:00]but it is also very Florida.

[51:02]So what we do with it,

[51:04]I would,

[51:04]the whole time I was listening to this,

[51:05]I was thinking about all three of you guys.

[51:07]And I was like,

[51:08]what do you guys wear when you want to look so fresh and so clean?

[51:10]What's your thing you wear?

[51:12]Like when you really need to turn it up,

[51:13]you're not going to like,

[51:14]you're,

[51:15]you're not looking,

[51:15]uh,

[51:16]what's it called?

[51:17]Lounge casual Rob.

[51:19]So you're allowed to wear socks,

[51:20]but what's your go-to thing when you really want to look good,

[51:23]Matt,

[51:23]what do you wear when you go out?

[51:24]I have figured out that if I really want to look good,

[51:27]really want to look good.

[51:29]If I try to buy something,

[51:31]that's like just awesome.

[51:32]Yeah.

[51:32]You know,

[51:33]it's like,

[51:34]it just doesn't look good on me.

[51:35]You know,

[51:36]we've got,

[51:37]we've got other people,

[51:38]you know,

[51:39]I think of like,

[51:40]you know,

[51:40]Steve,

[51:41]that Steve,

[51:42]he could wear anything,

[51:43]right?

[51:43]He's going to look good.

[51:44]So I just try to keep it nice and simple,

[51:47]you know,

[51:48]to look fresh and clean,

[51:50]just keep no fancy patterns,

[51:53]no fancy anything,

[51:54]just a nice clean pair of slacks.

[51:57]Maybe some jeans,

[51:58]you know,

[51:59]nice is such a mean old daddy.

[52:01]Exactly.

[52:02]Exactly.

[52:02]Nice button down shirt,

[52:04]maybe a little quarter zip,

[52:05]maybe a sweater,

[52:05]something like that,

[52:06]but just nothing flashy.

[52:07]That's about the,

[52:08]all I can do to keep it fresh and clean.

[52:10]Tucked in or not tucked in,

[52:12]not tucked in.

[52:13]I mean,

[52:14]we're not,

[52:14]we're not,

[52:15]we're not 24 anymore.

[52:16]Russell.

[52:17]I mean,

[52:17]some kind of savages.

[52:18]Yeah.

[52:19]For the slacks mentioned,

[52:22]I got to say,

[52:23]Aaron,

[52:24]what do you wear when you need to look so fresh and so clean?

[52:26]Uh,

[52:27]when I want to look good,

[52:27]when I want to look so fresh and so clean,

[52:28]I got a pair of,

[52:30]uh,

[52:31]sort of cream suede colored wallabies,

[52:33]Clark wallabies that.

[52:36]Okay.

[52:37]Stop,

[52:37]stop,

[52:38]stop,

[52:38]stop,

[52:38]stop,

[52:38]stop.

[52:39]Russell,

[52:40]tell me what Clark wallabies are.

[52:41]I would assume it's some sort of koala skin shoe,

[52:45]like a,

[52:46]like a,

[52:47]like a sand,

[52:48]like a,

[52:49]what do you call those?

[52:50]A moccasin.

[52:51]You can keep mowing that apple too during the podcast.

[52:53]That'd be great.

[52:53]Uh,

[52:54]so,

[52:54]so you think it's a koala skin moccasin?

[52:57]You think that that's what Aaron's by?

[52:59]He doesn't have a microwave.

[53:00]He cares about the environment yet.

[53:02]Koalas.

[53:02]He's like,

[53:02]send them to hell and make my moccasins.

[53:05]People have their things.

[53:06]You never know about people,

[53:08]you know,

[53:08]the inside smells like eucalyptus.

[53:10]Cause that's what they force feed them before they slaughter them.

[53:12]It's like koala pate.

[53:13]Actually,

[53:18]don't worry,

[53:18]Aaron,

[53:18]a ton of,

[53:19]a ton of them have gonorrhea.

[53:20]So don't,

[53:21]uh,

[53:21]don't get too attached.

[53:22]The Clark's wallabies are,

[53:25]uh,

[53:25]actually there's sort of,

[53:27]uh,

[53:27]there's,

[53:27]there's sort of like orthopedic shoe,

[53:29]but,

[53:30]uh,

[53:30]ghost face made him famous.

[53:32]Ghost face wore wallabies and he would,

[53:34]he would,

[53:34]he would hand dye his own wallabies.

[53:36]You can see Aaron in big black shoes that my grandma had.

[53:38]No,

[53:39]these are,

[53:40]these are suede wallabies.

[53:42]Nobody dopes me.

[53:43]Oh yeah.

[53:43]And my,

[53:44]my lady bought these for me,

[53:45]I don't know,

[53:46]14 years ago.

[53:46]One of my legs is actually a little longer than the other,

[53:49]so I have to wear these corrective shoes.

[53:50]I keep them so clean.

[53:51]I don't wear them for anything unless I'm trying to look so fresh and so clean.

[53:55]So it's my,

[53:55]for me,

[53:56]it's my wallabies.

[53:57]Nice.

[53:57]Rob,

[53:58]what do you wear?

[53:58]I've got the,

[54:00]uh,

[54:00]so I work in a school where sometimes you have to wear a suit for a day for

[54:04]like a convocation days.

[54:05]And so everybody's just wearing like black suits or blue suits.

[54:09]I've gotten the Miami vice special that I wear,

[54:11]which is my red pants.

[54:12]And then I have a tangerine shirt with a light blue suit coat that I put on

[54:17]when I wear that.

[54:18]And I walk into the school.

[54:19]Oh,

[54:20]and I think that's why some friends are so clean.

[54:26]Guess what?

[54:27]Russ,

[54:27]I wear like normal shoes.

[54:28]I don't have to have orthopedic ass shoes.

[54:30]Dr.

[54:30]Scholl's ass walking around made out of koalas.

[54:33]I don't need that shit.

[54:34]Okay.

[54:34]Regular ass shoes,

[54:36]but not as nice as yours.

[54:37]I was walking with Russell one day.

[54:39]Russell's got some fucking nice ass shoes when he's looking so fresh and so

[54:42]clean.

[54:43]He was walking with my wife and I,

[54:45]my wife is like nice shoes.

[54:46]And I was like,

[54:46]what the fuck is,

[54:47]and then this music started playing.

[54:48]I was like,

[54:48]what the fuck's going on here?

[54:49]This is a disaster.

[54:50]I've been told that shoes can kind of save the whole thing.

[54:53]If you've got really nice shoes that can kind of save all the rest of the

[54:57]problems that are going on with this,

[54:58]you know,

[54:59]definitely hot.

[54:59]You can definitely hide things,

[55:01]right?

[55:01]Like you had old ass grungy ass shoes.

[55:04]Like that's,

[55:05]that's a definite sign of,

[55:06]you know,

[55:07]like what,

[55:07]what are we doing here?

[55:08]But if you keep your shoe game intact,

[55:10]Russell,

[55:11]I can,

[55:11]I can keep things.

[55:12]Or if you're Aaron and you come out and fucking Dr.

[55:15]Frankenstein's monsters looking boots that he's wearing.

[55:17]Okay.

[55:18]He's like,

[55:18]these are actually pretty cool.

[55:19]I don't get what's a big deal with shoes.

[55:21]Like,

[55:21]can you guys even see shoes when you're wearing them?

[55:23]Like who?

[55:23]Oh,

[55:26]and,

[55:27]and I should clarify.

[55:28]It's because of the bulge.

[55:29]Okay.

[55:35]I'm going to stand up and show you guys some underwear again.

[55:37]It's a good one though.

[55:42]I love this kind of like Isley's type sound.

[55:44]I think they really play a lot with the vocals and the harmonies on this,

[55:47]this album.

[55:48]It's a,

[55:49]they're just pulling from so many influences.

[55:50]I know we got to move on,

[55:52]but so fresh and so clean reminds me of one of the most embarrassing moments

[55:54]of my life that I bet.

[55:55]I think about once every two weeks,

[55:57]and I cringe.

[55:58]Can we hear about it?

[55:58]All right.

[55:59]Miss Jackson is next.

[56:00]For some reason I was in it as a teacher.

[56:04]I was a teacher in a small town.

[56:05]And for some reason,

[56:06]I don't know why somebody gave it to me,

[56:08]but somebody gave me like adult wet wipes.

[56:12]What?

[56:13]For a gift.

[56:14]They gave me adult wet wipes to like,

[56:16]instead of toilet paper.

[56:17]Right.

[56:17]So they're giving me,

[56:18]and the whole time I didn't know what they were for.

[56:21]Like the idea,

[56:22]I don't know.

[56:23]The idea of like wet wipes instead of toilet paper was so foreign to me.

[56:27]I literally was sitting at lunch with all the other teachers going,

[56:29]look at these wet wipes.

[56:31]Why would somebody give me wet wipes?

[56:32]What am I going to use wet wipes for?

[56:33]What are these for?

[56:34]What are these?

[56:35]And it was like a day later where I realized like,

[56:37]Oh,

[56:37]these are instead of toilet paper.

[56:39]And I was just showing everybody at my lunch table.

[56:41]What are these?

[56:42]This is what I'm going to use.

[56:43]This is what I got for a gift.

[56:44]Who gave these to you?

[56:46]I cannot remember for the life of me.

[56:48]That's the other part of the story.

[56:49]No idea who gave this to me,

[56:51]why they gave this to me.

[56:52]They were probably trying to tell you they wanted to eat your.

[56:57]What was that joke Rob was trying to make earlier that he kept saying?

[57:00]I was,

[57:00]I've been trying to think about it the whole time.

[57:02]He's squishing his peen.

[57:05]No,

[57:06]that was a better one than that.

[57:08]So squishing his peen.

[57:09]What was the name?

[57:12]Russell,

[57:12]if we have to remember every joke I told.

[57:14]Huh?

[57:15]We got to move on.

[57:17]It's impossible.

[57:19]It's impossible to answer your question.

[57:21]Cause Rob never stops talking.

[57:23]Aaron just walked to the back of his garage.

[57:25]His shoes make him look like he's wearing fucking.

[57:27]He's got these big ass,

[57:28]huge kiss boots on.

[57:31]It's crazy.

[57:31]Sorry,

[57:32]miss Jackson.

[57:33]The reverse snare.

[57:37]Great song.

[57:39]Yeah,

[57:40]this is right in the wheelhouse of,

[57:42]this was on the wind amp player for all of us.

[57:44]Correct.

[57:44]Yes.

[57:45]Is this on your wind amp back in the day or not?

[57:47]Yep.

[57:47]This was one of my,

[57:49]I took it from my sister's computer and made a mix CD.

[57:51]The song was right in there in between two Bob Dylan songs.

[57:54]It was a rough listen,

[57:55]but a great song.

[57:57]Kind of a bit of whiplash coming from.

[57:58]And it's wild that Erica Badu shows up later as a guest on this album.

[58:01]And I don't know when the songs were recorded sequentially,

[58:04]but like this is something we haven't experienced where there is a person

[58:08]about whom a song is written who then appears later on the album.

[58:12]It's all these,

[58:13]it's a tangled web.

[58:14]They weave.

[58:14]I read that Erica Badu's mom was kind of pumped.

[58:18]Like she,

[58:18]she goes around claiming,

[58:20]Hey,

[58:20]I am miss Jackson in the album,

[58:22]right?

[58:22]Nice.

[58:22]Like I would,

[58:23]it's a great fucking song.

[58:25]Rob,

[58:26]what would you write?

[58:27]What would you write for a song about your mother-in-law?

[58:28]Aaron,

[58:28]Matt,

[58:29]if you guys had to write a song about your mother-in-law,

[58:31]what would it be about?

[58:32]I was just going to say,

[58:33]didn't Barbara Ann sing on that beach boys CD later?

[58:35]Bob,

[58:36]Bob,

[58:37]Bob,

[58:37]Bob,

[58:37]Bob,

[58:38]a rant.

[58:38]What?

[58:40]Oh,

[58:40]Rosie just left.

[58:41]He's off to the shoe stores to get his shoes signed.

[58:45]And it costs $1,000 each time.

[58:47]Cause the shoes are so fucking big.

[58:48]Matt,

[58:49]what would you say?

[58:50]Miss Jackson,

[58:50]where does this rank on the album of best songs?

[58:53]What's your favorite song on the album?

[58:54]I would say it's number three or four.

[58:57]Overall or just so far?

[58:58]Overall.

[58:59]I mean,

[59:00]well,

[59:00]and yeah,

[59:01]number two so far.

[59:02]So fresh and so clean is above it.

[59:04]You think so?

[59:05]Huh?

[59:05]Yeah.

[59:06]All right.

[59:06]Oh,

[59:07]but I know miss Jackson is such a good song.

[59:09]Like it's so overplayed.

[59:12]I mean,

[59:12]right.

[59:12]I mean,

[59:12]how many times have you heard it?

[59:14]9,000 times.

[59:16]So that's cause it's good.

[59:17]Cause it's great.

[59:17]But I mean,

[59:18]and my wind and I would put my wind amp and repeat and then leave and lock my

[59:22]dorm room and turn it,

[59:23]turn it up.

[59:23]So everybody in the dorm had to hear it and I was out of there.

[59:25]No big deal.

[59:26]It really whips the Lama's ass.

[59:28]10 times out of nine.

[59:30]Snapping and trapping.

[59:32]Oh,

[59:33]and killer Mike shows up.

[59:34]It's on.

[59:35]As soon as you hear killer Mike's voice,

[59:36]you know,

[59:37]it's going to be a verse.

[59:38]Who's killer Mike Aaron.

[59:39]He's now one half of run the jewels.

[59:44]So he's probably better known to people as part of run the jewels,

[59:46]but I,

[59:46]he's an Atlanta rapper who was,

[59:48]I think part of the dungeon family.

[59:50]So showed up a lot on outcast albums.

[59:53]His mixtapes.

[59:54]I pledge allegiance to the grind are just fantastic.

[59:56]And he just has this authoritative voice and,

[59:59]and then,

[60:00]yeah,

[60:00]he's become famous as part of run the jewels,

[60:02]but one of my favorite rappers.

[60:03]What a great name for a mixtape.

[60:05]I pledge allegiance to the grind.

[60:08]Oh my God.

[60:08]So good.

[60:09]Is that the song where he calls out Sergeant slaughter?

[60:12]Snapping and trapping.

[60:14]Let's listen.

[60:14]Yeah.

[60:15]Let's listen.

[60:15]Yep.

[60:17]It's right there.

[60:17]I get it right to Sergeant slaughter.

[60:19]He didn't call out Hulk Hogan's pasta baby.

[60:22]It's just Sergeant slaughter though.

[60:23]Didn't he?

[60:24]I always thought Sergeant slaughter was just Jesse Ventura.

[60:26]As like another character.

[60:27]I thought that until I was like 35 different.

[60:30]Oh,

[60:31]way different.

[60:31]That is Sergeant slaughter was the Iraqi sympathizer during the war.

[60:34]Oh,

[60:35]is that what his heel?

[60:37]Yeah.

[60:37]He was a bad guy.

[60:38]He wrestled Hulk Hogan,

[60:40]Tasmania,

[60:41]Tasmania seven.

[60:42]So Sergeant slaughter turned into an Iraqi sympathizer.

[60:46]That is wild to me.

[60:48]He did.

[60:48]I like that when wrestling gets into real political stuff,

[60:52]you know,

[60:52]you know what?

[60:54]We could skip the DF interlude.

[60:56]And get right to spaghetti junction,

[60:58]which would be a Hulk Hogan theme song.

[60:59]Oh yes.

[61:00]If Hulk Hogan were to be the singer on one of these songs,

[61:04]he would say spaghetti junction,

[61:06]Rob,

[61:06]but it would be for pasta mania,

[61:08]right?

[61:09]Hey,

[61:09]hey there,

[61:10]girl,

[61:11]you're way off.

[61:13]Rob,

[61:13]you gotta,

[61:14]you gotta get pulled the shit together.

[61:16]Do it right.

[61:16]Get it right.

[61:17]Hey there,

[61:18]brother.

[61:19]Well,

[61:19]I can't say,

[61:20]hey there,

[61:20]brother.

[61:20]And then he's going to talk about how full he is.

[61:22]Cause that sounds like he just had sex with the father-in-law.

[61:25]He can't be doing that.

[61:25]Well,

[61:26]what?

[61:26]What?

[61:27]Cause I,

[61:27]nevermind.

[61:28]Hey there,

[61:29]hey there,

[61:30]hey there,

[61:31]Hulkamaniacs,

[61:32]come into pasta mania and have a little spaghetti junction and some Hulkios.

[61:36]Yes.

[61:37]And get the dessert.

[61:38]It's the best part.

[61:39]And everybody knows that.

[61:39]And if they don't,

[61:40]they're Iraqi sympathizers like Sergeant Slaughter.

[61:43]Yes.

[61:44]Kim and Cookie.

[61:45]Now this is actually recorded after a date with Russell.

[61:47]Oh,

[61:49]this one is so good.

[61:50]This is,

[61:50]that wasn't right.

[61:51]Kim.

[61:51]Yeah.

[61:52]That's just not right.

[61:53]Right,

[61:53]right.

[61:53]This is an all time great sketch.

[61:55]Say hello,

[61:55]Cookie.

[61:56]I think you're right,

[61:57]Aaron.

[61:57]Yes,

[61:58]this one is great.

[61:59]Spill it,

[62:00]girl.

[62:00]Spill it.

[62:01]Yes.

[62:01]I like how this works.

[62:04]She's like,

[62:04]tear my ass up.

[62:05]What's up?

[62:06]You're right,

[62:08]Aaron.

[62:08]I think the chronic has the best sketches.

[62:10]We've talked about other albums where we did or don't like them or do like them.

[62:14]I generally don't like the interludes on the outcast one.

[62:17]This one is really good.

[62:18]This one,

[62:19]the combination of their particular rhythm of talking.

[62:24]And then the,

[62:26]the interludes with the toe up just like the throwback to church,

[62:30]but they're talking about dirty stuff.

[62:32]I just love it.

[62:33]Is there any better phrase for sex besides getting your ass tore up?

[62:36]Like it's so funny.

[62:37]Like maybe rearranging your guts.

[62:41]Like that's the only other one.

[62:42]Rob,

[62:43]that's what,

[62:44]that's the joke I tried to make that you missed earlier.

[62:45]That's what the person who gave you the wet wipes wanted to do to you.

[62:49]That's why they gave you the wet wipes.

[62:50]You missed the,

[62:51]that's what they were trying to know.

[62:52]I thought you said they wanted to eat my.

[62:54]Yeah,

[62:55]but you didn't laugh.

[62:56]So I had to do it again.

[62:56]No,

[62:57]I didn't.

[62:57]I played Aaron.

[62:58]Okay.

[62:59]Your dad listens to this and send me,

[63:00]sends me t-shirts.

[63:01]Can we not,

[63:02]can we not do this?

[63:03]No,

[63:03]if Rob's not going to laugh at my one joke a week,

[63:06]I got to bring it back.

[63:07]Yeah.

[63:08]He sent him a t-shirt that says free,

[63:10]free breathalyzer suck here.

[63:12]Oh no.

[63:13]Wait,

[63:16]we're way past the sun.

[63:17]We got to move forward.

[63:18]My bad.

[63:18]Uh,

[63:19]Aaron,

[63:20]uh,

[63:20]I'll call before I come.

[63:21]What?

[63:22]This actually,

[63:23]this actually might be my favorite.

[63:25]Um,

[63:26]yeah,

[63:26]this is great.

[63:28]Yeah.

[63:29]Why do you like it?

[63:30]I really liked it,

[63:30]but there's the water sounds of brought,

[63:32]brought me back to Eric being Rakim.

[63:34]Like I can't do the popping water and it's on two of these tracks on this album.

[63:39]I don't get it.

[63:39]I can tell you why Rosie loves this.

[63:41]Aaron loves this because it sounds just like parliament.

[63:44]I love this.

[63:46]Yeah.

[63:46]I mean,

[63:46]I love that,

[63:47]that it's,

[63:47]you know,

[63:47]I mean,

[63:48]this whole album was borrowing from Funkadelic,

[63:50]but I love the snare.

[63:51]It sounds like,

[63:52]you know,

[63:52]straight ahead,

[63:53]old school,

[63:54]Southern rap mixtape,

[63:55]but it's,

[63:55]it's a bunch of much different subject matter.

[63:57]And then anytime gangsta boo shows up,

[63:59]I'm in,

[63:59]I love her voice.

[64:00]So I love this track.

[64:01]I love the slinky snakey synth as well.

[64:04]It's all great to me.

[64:05]And it's showing that they're very considerate,

[64:09]right?

[64:10]Right.

[64:10]Ladies first.

[64:11]Yeah.

[64:12]Right.

[64:13]Wait,

[64:14]is that a real thing?

[64:14]Ladies do that too.

[64:16]Bombs over Baghdad.

[64:19]Oh,

[64:22]this is the best song of the album.

[64:24]No question.

[64:24]You're in your whole house for this song.

[64:25]This thing.

[64:26]Man,

[64:29]where should this song be?

[64:30]Number one on the album in the middle.

[64:32]Where would you put this?

[64:33]Number one.

[64:34]Yeah,

[64:34]number one.

[64:35]You're right.

[64:35]Man.

[64:36]I mean,

[64:37]I'll tell you if they were setting out to do a good song,

[64:39]I would put up a big banner that says mission accomplished with that one.

[64:43]I think that was so good.

[64:44]I thought that song was awesome.

[64:47]Yeah.

[64:49]Just don't pull that thing out unless you plan to bang.

[64:53]Unless you plan to bang.

[64:54]Don't pull that thing out unless you care about it.

[64:55]I would revisit that 20 years later even and just and say,

[64:59]yes,

[64:59]definitely.

[65:00]Even 20 years later.

[65:01]Great decision.

[65:02]Explosion.

[65:04]I love this one.

[65:06]Does this have the guy from Cypress Hill on it?

[65:11]Be real.

[65:11]Yeah.

[65:12]Oh,

[65:13]did you hear about him?

[65:14]He totally went insane.

[65:16]He did go insane?

[65:18]Yeah.

[65:18]Insane in the brain.

[65:19]Oh,

[65:20]no.

[65:21]Yeah,

[65:21]he's insane.

[65:22]The problem is he ain't got no brain.

[65:23]But that was a great song.

[65:25]But I think,

[65:25]that was one of the songs that had more terrible water plopping sounds.

[65:28]Why?

[65:29]Why the water sounds on these albums?

[65:30]You don't need it.

[65:31]Seriously.

[65:33]They chose to record it.

[65:37]I didn't record it.

[65:38]No,

[65:39]you're within your rights to.

[65:40]It's like,

[65:41]if you're hearing those sounds that we are using,

[65:43]the wet wipe is too wet.

[65:45]Gotta dry that wet wipe a little bit first.

[65:48]Should not be hearing the Eric B.

[65:50]and Rick M.

[65:50]water sound.

[65:51]All right.

[65:52]Aaron,

[65:54]what's this next one called?

[65:55]I can't read it.

[65:55]I don't,

[65:59]I'm not,

[65:59]I'm not,

[66:00]yeah,

[66:00]I'm not taking the bait.

[66:01]This is when they go to the,

[66:03]uh,

[66:03]garden store.

[66:04]They want to plant some seeds.

[66:06]And so they got to get some,

[66:07]uh,

[66:07]breaks and hoes.

[66:08]This is,

[66:09]we love these hoes.

[66:10]I do have to say this song doesn't hold up.

[66:15]Not surprisingly.

[66:16]And when you think about the infinite subject matter that they've made songs about,

[66:21]even though this beat totally slaps,

[66:23]uh,

[66:23]it's just,

[66:24]it's unfortunate that they,

[66:25]uh,

[66:25]chose to make that one.

[66:26]Aaron,

[66:27]you,

[66:27]you referenced the beat on this one.

[66:29]I heard the bass.

[66:30]And so I was reading a little bit about this and this is this guy named sleepy

[66:33]Brown.

[66:34]He played the Moog bass on this,

[66:36]which is kind of like a synthesizer base.

[66:39]Oh boy.

[66:39]And so I thought what we could do a few weeks ago,

[66:41]we talked about the upright bass.

[66:43]I thought we could do a list of the greatest Moog bass songs ever.

[66:47]This is going to be so cool.

[66:50]Yes.

[66:50]How do you know so much about instruments and still did not remember the guy

[66:54]was playing?

[66:55]I want to tell a side story,

[67:00]but Matt might get mad at me if I pivot.

[67:02]Oh no.

[67:03]So the other night I was out at a bar.

[67:06]I was out at the bar.

[67:08]It was more than one,

[67:09]less than three people at this bar.

[67:11]And we're sitting there and all of a sudden this guy sits next to this at this

[67:16]bar.

[67:16]I'm like,

[67:16]we're talking to him and he goes,

[67:18]I'm actually,

[67:19]he goes,

[67:19]I'm a jazz drummer.

[67:20]I'm playing with a band.

[67:21]I'm from Philadelphia.

[67:22]Wow.

[67:23]And he's sitting right next to me.

[67:24]And I went into my,

[67:25]my whole bit.

[67:26]I did my whole damn bit on the symbols.

[67:27]I talked about the pretty shuffle.

[67:30]I talked about Toto and,

[67:32]and the half,

[67:33]the half shuffle.

[67:34]And I essentially did my whole list for this guy.

[67:36]And he was so fucking impressed.

[67:37]He thought I was the smartest dude in the history of the world.

[67:40]And it's all because of this podcast.

[67:42]There you go.

[67:43]We're making the world better.

[67:44]And then you were like,

[67:45]yeah.

[67:45]And,

[67:45]and I have this podcast I talk about and the guy goes,

[67:47]Oh,

[67:47]that sounds great.

[67:48]Listen,

[67:48]I got to get going.

[67:49]I'll see you later.

[67:50]It happened.

[67:50]Oh yeah.

[67:51]Of course.

[67:52]Well,

[67:52]that kind of happened.

[67:53]He was talking to two ladies.

[67:55]Next to us.

[67:56]And so me and the more than one less than three person next to me,

[68:00]we're trying to decide which one he was trying to talk to more and whether

[68:04]these two ladies were going to have an issue,

[68:06]whether one was like more than the other and how it was going to go down.

[68:10]Russell,

[68:10]I don't want to judge you right now,

[68:11]but how much of the,

[68:12]uh,

[68:13]how much of that fall drink have you made?

[68:15]I'm on picture number two.

[68:17]Show me the picture.

[68:20]Hold up the picture.

[68:21]Let me see the picture.

[68:22]We're going rooster style here.

[68:24]Oh no,

[68:24]it is a picture.

[68:25]It's a picture.

[68:25]Look at that.

[68:26]It's a picture.

[68:28]All right.

[68:28]Call him the lefty.

[68:29]Here we go.

[68:30]It's the first song on the list is parliament.

[68:32]This is flashlight.

[68:33]The first number one RB hit.

[68:35]Wait,

[68:37]you said flash.

[68:39]Yeah.

[68:39]Flash light.

[68:40]Is that right?

[68:42]Yeah.

[68:43]What have I been buying on Amazon?

[68:45]Oh no.

[68:46]This is a great one.

[68:48]Aaron,

[68:49]you're a parliament guy.

[68:50]Why,

[68:50]why is this song so important?

[68:51]Well,

[68:52]it's sampled a bunch,

[68:53]but it also just makes you want to move.

[68:54]Your ass.

[68:55]I read that Bernie were well,

[68:58]he actually connected multiple synthesizers,

[69:01]like three or four of them.

[69:02]And that's what makes that song so cool.

[69:04]Oh,

[69:04]cause he had to,

[69:05]he had to invent a new sound.

[69:06]I mean,

[69:07]they did that kind of stuff all the time.

[69:08]And Bernie were always definitely a genius.

[69:09]That's right.

[69:10]If he had enough,

[69:10]they could call him synthesizers,

[69:12]fibers,

[69:13]shit.

[69:14]Next song on the list.

[69:17]Aaron said a lot of people sampled or always went back to parliament or

[69:21]Funkadelic.

[69:22]And one of those that did a lot,

[69:23]it was Dr.

[69:24]Dre.

[69:24]This is the chronic and Rob.

[69:26]It's these nuts.

[69:30]So Dr.

[69:35]Dre was often inspired by Bernie were L and this is the move base on

[69:39]these nuts.

[69:39]Like that is a great,

[69:40]that's a great base.

[69:41]And is this one?

[69:43]So did he,

[69:43]he write this baseline?

[69:44]He didn't sample it.

[69:45]He actually has a guy.

[69:47]I forgot the guy's name,

[69:48]but he's got some guitar player,

[69:50]bass player slash piano player that played it on a lot of Dr.

[69:54]Dre songs.

[69:54]He sampled a lot,

[69:55]but he did have a guy who actually played that one on the move.

[69:59]I actually like Snoop's bass player is better.

[70:01]His name is Lee Gandhi.

[70:02]What does that mean?

[70:04]Lee Gandhi's nuts.

[70:05]Oh yeah.

[70:07]It was Snoop's birthday this week.

[70:09]He's even older than us.

[70:10]He is.

[70:13]Yeah,

[70:15]I think so.

[70:16]Yeah.

[70:17]It kind of makes you think about death.

[70:18]Next on the list.

[70:21]This is called,

[70:22]I don't know if you guys will know this one,

[70:23]but this bass,

[70:24]this slaps,

[70:25]this is called the zap and Roger more bounce to the ounce,

[70:29]which would be the name.

[70:30]Listen to that.

[70:34]Rob,

[70:38]either of us were never started an adult film.

[70:41]It could definitely be called for bounce to the water bed trilogy.

[70:45]Yes.

[70:46]You see that in a 40 X theater.

[70:49]That's what I'm talking about.

[70:50]We're going to get away from some of the hip hop.

[70:54]And I'm going to get away from some of the,

[70:54]some of the funk.

[70:55]One of the song we've talked about before.

[70:57]This is also a Moog bass is Berlin from top gun.

[71:02]Take my breath away.

[71:03]Whoa.

[71:03]Oh,

[71:05]of course that base there.

[71:07]Yeah.

[71:07]Still feel uncomfortable when I hear the song.

[71:11]I still feel like my parents are.

[71:13]You want to know why you feel uncomfortable?

[71:15]It turns out I was reading about this song.

[71:18]This is what I do is I read about this so I can meet random drummers on an

[71:23]above one.

[71:24]Yeah.

[71:24]It turns out so they had,

[71:29]they had made this whole movie top gun and they were showing it to like the

[71:32]screeners where they show it to all these people and they get feedback on it.

[71:35]There was no love scene with Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis.

[71:38]So they brought them back to make the love scene just for this song.

[71:42]And the reason why they're making out in the dark is because she had changed

[71:46]her hair color.

[71:47]So when you guys watch the love scene where,

[71:49]where he's licking her nose,

[71:50]Rob or whatever.

[71:51]Yeah.

[71:51]He's definitely looking at us.

[71:52]It's pretty weird.

[71:53]It gets all in the dark.

[71:54]It's because they had to refilm it after the movie was done and she had

[71:58]changed her hair color.

[71:59]Yeah.

[72:00]Aaron knows about that scene.

[72:00]Cause he has to think about it.

[72:01]I don't think I want to make this anymore.

[72:10]How did we get here?

[72:13]Well,

[72:16]the last song on the list is the other music that Aaron likes to listen to

[72:20]when he does that.

[72:20]And that's Marvin Gaye.

[72:22]I don't know.

[72:24]I'm going to have to just beep it.

[72:25]I guess.

[72:26]Um,

[72:28]I don't Rob.

[72:29]I don't know.

[72:29]It's a song.

[72:30]Can you play it here?

[72:31]You hear that?

[72:37]You hear that beat?

[72:38]So is it a familiar beat to you guys?

[72:41]Yeah.

[72:41]Yeah.

[72:42]Is that Robin?

[72:42]I ripped it off.

[72:43]It is.

[72:44]This is the song that Robin Thicke and Pharrell ripped off from Marvin

[72:47]Gaye.

[72:48]They got sued for it.

[72:49]Had to pay seven and a half million dollars because they ripped off the

[72:53]baseline that Marvin Gaye and Pharrell ripped off.

[72:54]Marvin Gaye was playing on the boog synthesizer.

[72:56]And I agree with what Aaron said earlier.

[72:58]I feel bad for Robin Thicke.

[72:59]You know,

[72:59]he just seems like he's gotten screwed over and over.

[73:01]He seems like a great guy.

[73:02]Not a big,

[73:03]not a bad guy at all.

[73:04]Oh,

[73:05]I don't know if he is.

[73:05]He a bad guy for anyone who has not listened to the first hour of this

[73:10]podcast.

[73:10]I did not say that earlier.

[73:12]Just to be clear,

[73:13]anybody who's been skipping through trying to get to Russell's list,

[73:15]just in case somebody picks it up right here.

[73:17]Yeah.

[73:17]Yep.

[73:18]That's not going to happen.

[73:20]We may just delete this part.

[73:22]Well,

[73:24]that's the sign.

[73:24]That's the end of Russell's list.

[73:26]When he says that we probably have to delete this part.

[73:27]Russell,

[73:28]that was a top five list.

[73:30]Humble mumble.

[73:32]I mean,

[73:40]is this the Erykah Badu?

[73:42]She's this is Erykah Badu.

[73:43]Yeah.

[73:44]Matt,

[73:45]you've talked about her before.

[73:46]Are you a fan of this song?

[73:48]I mean,

[73:50]this is a above average for the album,

[73:52]right?

[73:53]I mean,

[73:53]but kind of,

[73:54]it feels like it didn't quite fit into the mainstream,

[73:58]but yeah,

[73:59]I just,

[73:59]I think I love this album way more than Equemini.

[74:03]I think this album is far superior.

[74:06]I thought when I was,

[74:07]okay,

[74:09]I'm not going to take the bait on that.

[74:10]And I feel like when I was walking around to this,

[74:14]like it was such a groove and the,

[74:15]and the lyrics are so off.

[74:17]They're so in syncopation with the beat.

[74:19]Like I'm just,

[74:20]I just was so impressed by this album.

[74:22]I thought it was great.

[74:22]Now I got to admit every time I got to,

[74:24]to interlude,

[74:24]I was like,

[74:24]skip,

[74:25]skip,

[74:25]skip.

[74:25]Don't need to listen to these,

[74:26]but question mark.

[74:28]I know it's for this song.

[74:35]What is this?

[74:36]This album is getting way too long.

[74:38]It's definitely a hint at where Andre was going.

[74:43]A lot of Andre's guest spots.

[74:44]I feel sound similar to that one after,

[74:47]after a love below.

[74:49]It sounds like me when I just started learning how to use garage band,

[74:52]like making songs and being like,

[74:53]uh-huh.

[74:54]And you listen to like the same thing for like eight hours straight.

[74:55]And you're like,

[74:56]this actually is really good.

[74:57]And then you listen to the next day.

[74:59]You're like,

[74:59]Oh no,

[74:59]this is awful.

[75:00]Why did I think this was any good?

[75:01]Speaking of great desserts,

[75:02]red velvet.

[75:03]Yeah.

[75:04]Would you rather get red velvet cake or mini donuts?

[75:07]Oh,

[75:08]mini donuts.

[75:09]Isn't red velvet just like vanilla,

[75:13]but they color it red.

[75:14]Yeah,

[75:15]but it looks so appetizing.

[75:16]Plus cream cheese frosting.

[75:17]It's true.

[75:17]Part of food is visual,

[75:19]Rob.

[75:19]I'm always,

[75:19]I'm eating my dinners in the dark now,

[75:21]full time.

[75:21]No idea what I'm eating.

[75:22]One of the exciting things about this album,

[75:23]is that it,

[75:24]you know,

[75:24]Rob,

[75:25]I think what you like about it is that both of their,

[75:27]both these guys have expansive taste.

[75:28]And so they're pulling from all these influences.

[75:30]It's like pimp a butterfly or other albums.

[75:33]I have expansive taste too.

[75:35]I get four desserts.

[75:36]I don't care.

[75:36]And it,

[75:37]yeah.

[75:37]And it like,

[75:37]I like,

[75:38]it gave me an excuse to listen to Funkadelic all week.

[75:40]But the fun thing I kept doing all week was this.

[75:43]I learned that big boy was a huge fan of Kate Bush.

[75:46]He went deep into Kate Bush's music and her album is coming up just three or four albums

[75:51]away.

[75:51]How are you going to say it like that?

[75:53]So,

[75:53]that's what he said.

[75:54]He said,

[75:54]I went deep into her music.

[75:55]I read the quote.

[75:56]So exciting.

[75:58]Got us to have a chance to look ahead to Kate Bush.

[76:01]And I listened all through this whole album.

[76:03]Like,

[76:04]is there like,

[76:04]can I make any comparison between big boy and Kate Bush?

[76:08]I have to report that I failed,

[76:09]but I'm not,

[76:10]I'm super stoked for hounds of love.

[76:11]It's coming up only in four albums.

[76:12]How much time did you put into making that comparison,

[76:14]Aaron?

[76:15]Honestly,

[76:15]like how much research did you do?

[76:16]How much did you prepare?

[76:17]How much time?

[76:18]I mean,

[76:19]I don't know.

[76:20]How long does it take to listen to the album?

[76:21]73 minutes.

[76:22]So I listened to the album.

[76:23]I don't know.

[76:24]Five times.

[76:25]And I listened to the Kate Bush album once.

[76:26]And I've read a little bit.

[76:27]Oh my God.

[76:28]You actually did more work than I normally do for this podcast.

[76:31]Does Kate Bush have like a big commercial hit?

[76:33]Cause I admittedly don't know her music.

[76:35]Is there like a big hit that I should know that I don't?

[76:37]No,

[76:37]I didn't know.

[76:38]I didn't.

[76:38]I mean,

[76:39]I listened to hounds of love.

[76:40]I didn't recognize any of them,

[76:41]but I loved them.

[76:42]Wow.

[76:42]You can see her in that picture standing next to her dad underneath that

[76:45]banner that says mission accomplished.

[76:46]The lost Bush.

[76:53]Stop saying it,

[76:54]please.

[76:54]This,

[76:56]this interlude.

[76:57]I did love.

[76:57]I do love what they do.

[76:59]The clap and the break,

[77:01]like the football.

[77:02]I could see listening to this cruising around the ATL.

[77:08]I want to do it.

[77:09]It sounds awesome.

[77:10]I would cruise.

[77:11]Listen to this for sure.

[77:12]Gangsta shit.

[77:14]This is what I want to know.

[77:15]It snares back.

[77:18]I like that.

[77:18]Guys.

[77:22]I kind of want to know about,

[77:23]about gangster shit.

[77:24]Does anybody know who I can talk to?

[77:25]I don't know.

[77:27]This is the song where they were singing about Cuervo being their drink.

[77:31]And I thought about doing some Cuervo tonight,

[77:33]but I'm just not a tequila guy.

[77:35]Are you guys,

[77:35]can you do tequila?

[77:37]Is that out of your wheel?

[77:37]I would tell you their gangster shit would be watery after that.

[77:40]No,

[77:40]thanks.

[77:40]Matt tequila.

[77:42]Can you do it?

[77:43]I would.

[77:43]Yeah,

[77:44]I'd rather not,

[77:45]but they're going to,

[77:49]you better look out,

[77:50]man.

[77:50]They're going to put that on the bottle as a quote.

[77:52]I'd rather not.

[77:53]Try it.

[77:55]Aaron.

[77:56]Aaron,

[77:56]how about you?

[77:57]You strike me as more of like a bourbon or a whiskey guy,

[77:59]not a tequila guy.

[78:00]Can you do tequila or not?

[78:01]Yes,

[78:02]I usually am a bourbon or whiskey guy,

[78:04]but I had some reposado tonight that I bought last week and wanted to check out.

[78:08]So yes,

[78:08]I'm usually bourbon or whiskey,

[78:09]but I did have tequila tonight.

[78:11]So it's a timely question.

[78:12]That story reminds me of when I saw a famous commentator tie his tie and he did a rather

[78:18]not.

[78:18]Toiletitia.

[78:20]Oh no.

[78:21]Rather not.

[78:23]I think maybe,

[78:24]yeah,

[78:25]I'd rather not say much about this song,

[78:27]but this does start to sound to me like someone who spent too much time in their

[78:32]room listening to the maggot brain solo,

[78:33]which I know from experience.

[78:35]The first time I heard that song,

[78:37]it was terrifying.

[78:37]It's a terrifying song.

[78:38]Slum beautiful.

[78:39]Okay.

[78:44]We're going to speed up here at the end of this album.

[78:45]I have a theory about Stankonia that,

[78:46]oh yes,

[78:48]Mr.

[78:49]DJ was,

[78:50]was spending time listening to Dilla and I'm,

[78:53]I can talk,

[78:53]myself into hearing any influence anywhere,

[78:55]but I hear Jay.

[78:56]I don't understand a word you just said.

[78:58]What are you talking about?

[79:00]I do not have a perspective for the dumb shits on the podcast.

[79:03]I think you said truck Zilla.

[79:04]I'm not sure.

[79:05]I think that,

[79:06]so I think of Stankonia as part of this group of albums around this time,

[79:11]uh,

[79:12]99,

[79:12]2000.

[79:13]I think it has kinship with,

[79:15]uh,

[79:16]voodoo,

[79:16]of course,

[79:16]because I hear everything voodoo and everything,

[79:18]but also mama's gun by Erica Badu.

[79:20]Uh,

[79:21]not just because she's on both albums,

[79:22]but because I think,

[79:23]um,

[79:24]she has some sort of guitar driven,

[79:25]guitar driven,

[79:26]funky stuff on mama's gun,

[79:28]which is great.

[79:28]Um,

[79:28]and I know that when she was recording mama's gun,

[79:33]it was in at electric lady land with the soul Aquarian.

[79:36]So quest levels around James Poyser,

[79:38]but I know Dilla,

[79:39]Jay Dilla,

[79:40]who's a producer from Detroit,

[79:41]um,

[79:42]who does the sort of lazy,

[79:43]we talked about the behind the beat drumming on voodoo.

[79:45]He kind of inspires that sort of thing.

[79:47]And I feel like,

[79:48]yeah,

[79:48]I taught you about that.

[79:49]The third member of the dungeon family who did a lot of the production,

[79:53]here i think he was listening to that stuff too i i start to hear it so all i'm trying to say is i

[79:57]think that this um these guys are hardcore south they always will be but you hear them synthesizing

[80:05]other sounds in with what their style is on this one to stankonia stank love

[80:11]i mean can't you tell though like at some point they switch who's in charge of these songs like

[80:22]we went from so funky and so fast and like beat driven in the beginning to like dude i got these

[80:29]synthesizers and these mushrooms let's see what we could make at the end of this album

[80:33]yeah i think it's gonna be a difficult process for these guys where they don't agree on like

[80:38]what direction to take this and they've got different perspectives on what they think is

[80:41]good music right yeah or saying that you need to think of something to and then other people

[80:46]give you a look like oh don't say that man why'd you do that

[80:51]you

[80:52]my fault my fault sorry to bring it up yeah all right yeah it's hard to know are we looking at

[80:58]this with with 2021 eyes and saying oh we can definitely definitely hear them coming apart

[81:04]because you can hear it right but if at the time would i have thought that i don't know because

[81:09]strangely enough i didn't get into this album at the time well i can tell you i'm looking at

[81:13]them with 2020 eyes my vision's great did you skip like the last five songs

[81:22]did you or not i'm asking

[81:26]i mean you might have skipped a couple no i didn't skip any what are you guys talking about

[81:34]i think we skipped like four give me a song we skipped where do we skip

[81:38]slum beautiful no i did that one yeah prenup i'm not playing prenup that's an interlude

[81:46]yeah we played it although prenup was a pretty good interlude

[81:52]no roger dumbass russell it might be time to call in the closer i think that pitcher has done

[81:56]his job he's exhausted calling the closer let's go the rest of it i'm gonna finish off of the

[82:01]post game tonight it's a friday we can have a post game tonight right can we put enough clips

[82:07]to do a russell tribute show after this one what's the final ranking system

[82:12]for the ranking so like i just said i had 2020 vision ready to do this again now

[82:19]we have a replay of the siren

[82:22]oh my god that's the closers music

[82:26]this is gonna be the last episode we ever do

[82:31]i always thought we'd last exactly 66 episodes or whatever this is

[82:37]it's like 66 that was a magic number okay goodbye we just get like the nicest email

[82:41]ever from a fan of ours then we're like no thanks goodbye this is the third song i've

[82:47]heard in the last few weeks with water plopping i'm out this is the rating system uh it's a

[82:52]easily understood system because i go through it and step by step i hold your little baby hands

[82:56]i'm walking down we're walking down the street you're you're on your bike you're going in the

[83:00]street i'm drinking a beer uh so this is this this album is at 64 okay is this album a rolling

[83:08]well tone it is perfect at 64 64 give me more of these ratings because they're right on is this

[83:14]album a not as good as it rolling stones think it is and therefore it would be a rolling groan

[83:22]oh boy i really confused myself on this one or is this album better than the rolling stone think

[83:26]it is and therefore it got rolling boned it should uh it should be much better than it is

[83:32]it got rolling boned that's what i'm gonna start calling thank you aaron we don't need that every

[83:36]time um but what do you guys think is this a rolling well toned a rolling bone or is it a

[83:42]rolling groan matt what do you think i think this is rolling boned i think anything that outcast does

[83:48]this is me personally is just a rolling bone i think this is a rolling bone i think anything that

[83:52]about is a dynamic of a rap album that we hear on on this entire list and so i put a quimini ahead

[84:00]of this one but it's not i put i put aqua mini ahead of this one thank you but uh it's actually

[84:07]not pretty darn close and so i uh i would say this one got rolling boned personally oh uh aaron

[84:15]what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan i'm struggling a bit rolling well

[84:21]tone is when it's perfect i'm struggling with all these things i'm struggling with all these things

[84:22]at 64 it's right where it should be rolling boned is when it should have been higher but it's

[84:27]actually lower and rolling groan is when guess what you didn't like it you listen to it you go

[84:33]didn't like it so aaron what do you think i'm having a hard time now with all these albums

[84:38]that wouldn't have existed without funkadelic before we hear a funkadelic album so this is

[84:43]good point struggling with that uh i also in the winding path are you picturing this like a back

[84:52]is gone and you're looking at the album and it's turning to nothingness in your hand water plopping

[84:57]yes it just turns into water plopping and that's no shade to big boy and and three stacks i think

[85:03]they're the greatest rap duo i'm also having a hard time uh my winding path from big boy to

[85:10]kate bush then made me think of madonna you can't who i feel was either a contemporary or influenced

[85:17]by kate bush and i don't understand how we haven't had an album album by madonna yet so

[85:22]so as much as madonna out like way before kate bush wasn't she like 15 years before kate bush

[85:28]aaron i don't think so the kate bush album is from 85 so they got to be contemporaries right

[85:33]aaron did a bunch of research on kate bush i don't know if you listened to him earlier but he was

[85:37]he would have like that he has like the threads up he's got the yarn with the pins going around

[85:43]it's like kate bush and then it goes up to prince and then stevie wonder and then there's pictures

[85:46]of like huge shoes when aaron does analysis on kate bush albums he does like an abacus where he's

[85:52]those little little beads over on that thing but yeah i could be wrong correct me if i am wrong

[85:59]all i'm saying is i i'm having a hard time with this one because i think the highs are

[86:04]are incredible i love the musicianship i think the drumming on this one is and the

[86:08]drum programming is fantastic i love the mix of live musicians and uh since um and so i want to

[86:16]say rolling well tone but i i might have to give it a rolling groan because it's too much outcast in

[86:22]the top 100 before we get to some other artists uh that we should hear from i think that's the

[86:27]first album aaron's ever given a rolling groan to i know i love this album so i don't know but

[86:32]that's just where i'm feeling tonight i am so proud of myself because i did not interrupt

[86:35]aaron i'm gonna give a ranking or not russell give me a second to tell a joke you skip i'm not

[86:40]i'm not done i'm not doing my work i am not doing my bit i promise i'm just telling a joke aaron

[86:45]call off the dogs here i am so proud that i did not interrupt aaron because you interrupted a

[86:52]three times i did not he's done you've interrupted me now three times okay listen to me right now

[86:56]i am so proud to jump in because all i can think of with abacus is dancing queen see oh shit

[87:05]abacus

[87:09]guys it was a long i will i will forfeit my i will forfeit my time by the ranking to give you

[87:19]applause that was a fucking great thank you i love

[87:22]i appreciate it russell you're the best get it guys abacus

[87:26]matt do you get it like cuss like shit i uh i understand i understand the joke you're always

[87:33]talking about that stuff on the podcast it's gross russell what do you think rolling well

[87:37]toned rolling bone or rolling groan i love some of the songs on it bombs over baghdad amazing

[87:43]gasoline dreams i've never heard that song before i absolutely loved it you got the classics miss

[87:49]jackson so fresh so clean but i gotta say i'm not gonna lie to you i'm not gonna lie to you

[87:52]i'm just gonna put it into basic terms if i can't get through the album without wanting to stop it

[87:56]and turn it off then to me it's too high on the list there were i would get through half the album

[88:01]and i would i couldn't go any further so or to me i loved a few of the songs but it's rolling groan

[88:07]too high on the list i don't actually understand the rating system very well so thank you for

[88:12]explaining that to me um i am gonna say this okay you guys are unfortunately wrong this is a rolling

[88:18]evolution okay this and i've never used that one before this is a rolling evolution this is a

[88:21]this album is just evolution yeah this album is the beginning of a kind of hip-hop that we just

[88:27]see everywhere today right this is like seeing animals take their teachers here's these teachers

[88:31]putting their political perspectives into the classroom again evolution uh this is like

[88:37]this is like watching the first animal tickets now that's a good joke rap that's that's such a

[88:43]good joke russell burning down teachers is my favorite um watching animals take their first

[88:48]step on land to going all the way to humans like this album led to

[88:51]kendrick it led to kanye it led to all the other ones that wanted to go deeper than just uh doing

[88:56]simple rhymes over a drum beat like this is the this is the house of modern r&b in my mind but

[89:01]next up guys we've got a surprise for you okay is there one musician and i hope this doesn't go

[89:07]wrong this actually took a lot of work on my part is there one musician that we didn't get to listen

[89:11]to for long enough are you ready for star time give me more yes this is a man who's

[89:18]nationally and internationally is the hardest working man in show business
