[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums as decided by rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts when we promise to do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy back did it better from 2004 this is album 74 guys we are almost three quarters of a way of a fifth of the way through the this podcast life it's it's so sad when you say it that way oh no i was gonna

[00:31]say i'm gonna miss it when we're done guys i'm gonna miss it but i guess aaron that's fine if you don't want to you know it's like the beginning of the end of the beginning yes yeah exactly this is like you know how old am i gonna be uh i'm gonna be probably live till i'm 80 so this is like the end of my 20s something like that it's like we're on the first page of we're pretty much on the first page of the hobbit still here we go uh let's get into guys this week i gotta say okay instead of a song instead of a funny song everybody says oh they're so funny rob you

[01:02]definitely work really hard wait wait you've been playing funny songs rob i'm not gonna take that bait okay i'm not gonna do it i'm too i'm this is gonna be a clean show i'm gonna be respectful of my co-hosts and i'm not gonna make fun of them but guys this week i've actually decided we need to make some money so this week instead we're gonna do just a little bit of an infomercial okay and let's see if you can pick up what it's all about what's up everybody this is k-rob k-r-o-b listen i got a lot of people asking me how are you so buff well it's easy i do the beck did it

[01:31]better workout plan oh yeah hey everybody my name is frank since i've been doing the beck did it better workout plan i've had some really great results the key is i skip any get together i have with my neighbors and instead i go to the gym but then i yell at people when they try to hop on my equipment i've been mountain biking a lot and throwing and breaking my arm almost every day but i still make sure that i go get my fish fillets this is a great workout plan and i know it's good like my favorite people in the world the people from beck did it better but my wife doesn't like

[02:01]me thanks to the beck did a better workout plan i broke my arm just like aaron just like rob i think i'm the man i lift weights for one minute then i rest for 10 just like russell i start to somebody hops on my machine workout like matt but it's not short i yelled at my parents on the basketball sport it better workout plan i get to it when i can i only start it at half past 10 it was great when we started but it's worse than then all the dirty jokes are

[02:34]wearing thin the only people talking to me are my close friends then one night at the gym i see that pervert it's aaron he's there looking at feet again oh no god plan beck did it better workout plan

[03:00]beck did it better workout plan when you want to hear about the i told you that story didn't i i've got that when i was in the line you were doing the effective workout plan when you turned on the music you tried to be getting a rapper a basketball player or just someone with a car

[03:30]i just a car that's all i just wanted just a car just give me a ride that's all i don't have high standards maybe a miata take me to the lake go sailing today we are talking about kanye's college dropout guys this reminds me a lot of my hit album the college pop out okay college pop out yeah it was less of an album and more about when i was wearing tight pants at a party and i sat down too quickly the problem is i didn't notice anything and afterwards i did a kickstand uh and it looked like an egg when you're trying to separate the yolks you know i mean everybody's like

[04:00]is that a gray egg why is it why is it so gray i'm serious guys i don't know why it's so great i think it's a medical issue i got aaron in california aaron how are you doing hey when it comes to this podcast where i live by two words fuck you pay me so i'm glad you're making us some money on the uh workout plan oh good i'm glad yeah i'm glad this podcast is making us tons of money it's really rolling in four words yeah oh my god you got it yeah that was a man that was a man i got matt in minneapolis matt how are you doing tonight great great just great thanks for having

[04:31]love that energy man thank you for bringing so much to the table i got russell in minnesota russell how are you doing tonight rob thanks for having me i wanted to tell all you beckerheads that we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast huh y'all eat pieces of shit what's the basis i got i got figured out the chipmunk soul i got chipmunk soul chipmunk soul it sounds like what aaron got suits and cases chipmunk soul sounds like what aaron was

[05:01]taking pictures of at the gym you love his feet russell i love now that you are also getting into the audio recording game i think that's such a good idea um nothing can possibly go wrong when we have so many people trying to be in charge of this podcast i mean it's it's so good hey let's get to a voicemail oh breaking this one out oh i forgot our new voicemail messages on a voicemail well this one is especially for this voicemail because we got two people who are going to be issues most of the time they leave text messages for our show do these idiots not realize we only

[05:39]do audio our listeners are moronic and you know what's really stupid is we've been begging for calls now we've got too many too many calls oh it's a pain too many yeah to hear what they say if you think they're mad it's weird like when you get what you want yeah that is weird isn't it it's a strange thing it's like kind of like when you make

[06:02]like a lifelong commitment or something and you're like and then all of a sudden like maybe there's like a new thing that's big you know like all of a sudden it's like oh everybody's got big asses and it's like well no wait a minute i made a lifetime commitment ass could have won the horse awards and meanwhile you know she her turd cutter is not that big like i'm supposed to put up with that i don't think so i've got high standards i can't believe you said that that is a new one all right so this voicemail split into three parts

[06:31]because our dumb shit listeners cannot leave a short voicemail those three parts it's not aaron's dad again is it hi boys it's krista calling first of all i have been texting the text line and i don't know if rob is screening those texts but i have texted a few times one of them was when i found a rolling she's such a dumb shit listener that she's like doing this from her car she's got like earphones in the ipods or whatever what she's saying is that she's complaining that

[07:03]she texted something in and it didn't get played okay first of all i had it set up i just haven't played yet so here's what she would you mind telling the r that target is these on sale for nine dollars and 99 cents i have a fort freak okay so she did put in a foot break so i gotta respect that she really did the she understood the assignment yeah so i got a picture of rolling stone shirts uh russell that the store that we do not name is selling them for 9.99 okay what did you pay for your shirts again i i think i paid 130 for two shirts or was it 110

[07:34]i think it was 110 for two shirts and you know the worst part about it is that stupid store i have a friend over there that probably knows someone that got the rolling stone shirts on deals and i just didn't ask about it i i can't stand that that store yeah the guy who's 130 for two i mean just imagine guys imagine taking out a hundred dollar bill and showing that to them and say can i buy two t-shirts for this and they say oh no no no so then you take then you take out a

[08:01]20 and they're like no still not enough and then you got to take out a 10 they're like okay now you get two t-shirts you just be like but that really is like being married i think in a nutshell russell actually so here's the second part of this voicemail that store might not even have clothing items that add up to that much money like 130 bucks do they have anything at that store for 130 think about how many bobby the brain heen and weasel suits you can buy for that model it'd be crazy i think i think you need i think you need 130 bucks to get like a link shirt because i can't find them anywhere they don't have those whoever's in charge of the

[08:32]sport that's what i'm trying to find every time i go to minnesota i'm looking for a link shirt yeah and i and i wear shirts that are those feminine cuts so i'm looking for those too you know what i mean it's like narrow at the waist real big at the top you guys don't want my children never really got into them too much but thank goodness i still am even as a lady of a certain age i love certain lego sets and matt knows this

[09:03]so you're here did not fail you there i just want to point out her phone call 100 just cut out for like five seconds like we have an issue where i don't know if she was getting a call coming through or like was the way you spoke up but i don't know what she said there at all maybe we are better off just calling and making stupid comments about the drake relays i know that we talked about that in the post game show that we were maybe we should cut the line down but you think it might be a

[09:31]better caller do you think kanye puts on his own relays if drake does relays do you think kanye yes i think i'd rather go to the kanye relays than the drake relays i think you guys are angling for another angry call it's gonna happen fishing someday you're gonna hang out with him in person and then you're really gonna get it so what would she what was she calling in about rob i'd like i was no no no guys i got a call from peter jackson even he thought this call was a little too bloated he thought this is too much so let's check this out by the way that's a hobbit very topical

[10:03]topical reference yes thank you so much i thought it was a beatles let it be or oh no i was thinking about the hop back so you're actually the for a music podcast you're much more on point so here's her main point i'm hoping to borrow it from matt and um this year i treated myself to the home alone and i'm proud to admit it i didn't let my kids help me with it it took me around 18 hours

[10:31]not in one go i had to do it over several days because i do have a full-time job believe it or not and um so my question for you all is what is that thing from childhood that you still secretly love and maybe for rosie it is just um legos but there are things that i wish that it was still okay for kids to play with that are adults to play with but we had as kids and i guess legos is my thing so have a good time thank you so much for the

[11:04]voicemail as much as we make fun of you we are desperate for any human interaction uh guys what is something so first of all before we get to her question i just want to point out she bought the mcallister lego set okay i think it's called the home alone no one's ever called it the mcallister no like who the hell calls it the mcallister i was thinking of mcallister college i was like mcallister college has a lego set that's that's brilliant marketing kevin mcallister well i can tell you i just watched that last night in fact so what would you be mad if that

[11:31]was not included in the lego set like what would you be i'd be very upset if the stairs on the bottom do not have the nail that has hepatitis c on it from the movie i would be upset if they didn't have the uh the paint bucket on a rope you know sliding swinging down the staircase if the cheese pizza were just a box of pizza like if it were just a box with no pizza slices like i would pizza to have slices inside you're such a disease what the fuck are you talking about aaron that's what you want that's the main part of the movie to you is that the pizza is cut you said what are

[12:01]the things you'd be upset well your main thing was the nail i mean you're saying like would you be upset if they're missing movie the nails in the fucking movie your thing is that the pizza needs to be cut into slices cheese pizza is the whole reason that kevin goes off the deep end man like that starts that's the chain reaction starts the whole thing look what you did buzz shoves his cheese pizza down there and like kevin goes postal about it you think this is a movie of a child slowly going insane right you think this is the movie like of it's like uh into darkness or something where this this child is do you think this whole thing is an

[12:32]illusion like he's $130 are you talking about heart of darkness yeah whatever into darkness whatever it's a sequel aaron look what your comments started look what you did you little jerk i would be mad if you didn't have a picture you're what the french call i would be mad if the lego set did not have uh the one of the guys outside saying he's going to eat kevin's fingers at the end which i want to remind you the end of the movie is joe pesci saying he's going to eat uh kevin mccallister's fingers which is inside the

[13:01]house rob so you go you need to watch this again he's inside the house when he says that okay you think john hughes or whoever that was just had a really bad day he's like in the mud room he's kind of like in the foyer rosie rosie what we've learned from this whole exercise again this is for all the people that are watching live what we've what we've learned is that if you have an opinion just don't say in front of rob because it was jump all over your ass right so this is rob's show let's not have opinions on the show okay guys this is only what rob this episode is still getting some runoff pee from

[13:33]last time okay then that stands for runoff politeness okay because i'm still being polite to aaron because i was so mean to him two episodes ago so you can have runoff pee the thing i would want would be the kid who drinks all the pepsi fuller was it fuller i don't want to sleep with him he wets the bed so the question is speaking of what's the bed kanye mentions it this side in this album um speaking of child so she asked what things from your childhood do you still enjoy uh does anybody want to start or you want me

[14:03]to go what three things the easy the easiest one is baseball cards i don't know i still still opening well not really but like if if i you find like a you know you find those boxes or you've got like 30 packs so you can open up the wax packs kind of a thing like man i'd buy those in a heartbeat open up a bunch of baseball cards there's switch streams where they just literally open up different card packs on the stream and you can watch them open up card packs it's actually quite fun to watch like you know they they open one up and it's like a isaiah rider or something you're

[14:31]like oh that's sick like you're typing in there like junior j jr what about his own i was in alameda yesterday baseball cards have really come back but i think they've gotten so popular that people fight over them and then stores like it idiots they don't even carry them anymore so if you go there you want to buy some you can't even buy a pack of tops for like six bucks they shut it all down you know what else that's that's stupid store it did like they used to but they put this they put this limit on pokemon cards right so it's one per you can get one pack per house right so i got two kids i go there i try to buy

[15:04]two packs right do you think i can do that in all one transaction they don't they think you're one child those dumb asses that you can't figure out that maybe we've got two people here and so we should allow and then you know there's a lady sitting there she can't even help so you got to ring it out check it out and the other thing about target is that their dressing room doors go all the way down the street and they're like oh my god i'm gonna go to the dressing room and they're like down the floor how are you supposed to get out if you get locked in exactly it's a safety issue

[15:31]that's what i keep telling people this is actually a safety check okay on the subject of safety issues the thing that i the thing that i miss about childhood is is a trampoline and there's a couple of people in our neighborhood who keep like if you see them they'll say like they'll tell my son like hey we've got that trampoline like come on over and use the trampoline anytime and i'm kind of like hey wallace like do you want to go check out this trampoline because i would i would murder a trampoline i would go nuts if i could get on your wife would have your balls in a jar if you took your kid over and jumped on a trampoline with them i know that well enough

[16:02]you would you would go over i know you would like immediately like spin off and break your arm your wife is so mad you don't even have a fucking microwave you're talking about jumping on a trampoline get the fuck out of here now let me ask you let me ask you guys this i always think about this every time somebody brings up a trampoline if you had a chance okay and nobody would see you it's like in a you know it's like a think of like those you know those trampoline places where you can go and they have the long trampolines you're always like oh this is gonna be such a fun birthday party and then you jump for like three minutes you feel like you're gonna have a heart attack and you're like i cannot do this if you

[16:33]could have sex with your wife on a trampoline would you do it like think about how fun that was like and you could try different stuff like boing boing and then it's like a i mean where are the places that i wouldn't choose to like i mean you can like oh if you could have sex with your wife you know sitting in the kitchen like i mean there's not like what am i gonna say no like probably a cemetery you sick fuck you want to have sex with your wife in a cemetery oh my god there's a really pretty cemetery not far from my house i'm sick oh this is your new sick thing i would think about

[17:02]it oh think about all these bones what if there's one more here you know what i mean like oh gross next time next time aaron injures his collarbone or something we're gonna know damn well what happened that they would have explored that trampoline and something went wrong i just think it'd be really fun like you could hold on together and then both bounce around you know what i mean i see where you're going with this i mean it yeah someone so someone on this podcast has to try it yeah it's got to be someone youthful they come in the next day they're like why do all the trampolines smell like mulch

[17:30]what what goes on in your house rob i don't understand the mulch so russell what things from your childhood do you love what do you know why does it smell like mulch we've talked about the bobby the brain heenan figures i still love getting the wrestling action figures for my nephews not because i don't care if they like them but when i go hang out with my nieces and nephews i want to play with the

[18:01]wrestling action figures with them i want to set up the royal rumble i want to take like the 10 guys and make the perfect survivor series teams it brings me back to my youth so i love that stupid store it always has the wrestling action figure i'm sorry now that you said it though now that you said it i need to know what's your perfect survivor series team what's your ultimate survivor series team i think well demolition's got to be involved so i gotta have a tag team on my survivor series team right okay yeah yeah because they know how to work together right the rockers the rockers would

[18:31]have been the right everybody just push that 15 second forward button about 10 times here you know if you bring up pro wrestling i gotta get into the details i need well we gotta we gotta have brutus the barber on the team we need someone who can give a passed out person a haircut yeah that's gotta be some sort of assault right like if you did that now you just went up to a passed out person and gave him a haircut that looks like rob you'd be going to jail for that shit wouldn't you it's and i don't think brutus the barber ever went to jail i'm pretty sure he didn't go to jail for multiple actually way worse things than giving

[19:01]somebody a haircut i'm sure so then i got one more then right i gotta have jake the snake too if a passed out person where someone can put a snake on him and not face any consequences he's got to be on my team that's hard to beat that squad i'll tell you what i think my favorite action figure would be a macho man randy savage in a jeep you know so i can just oh no that's not right too soon too soon too soon okay then i would do a hulk hogan and a sushi i would do a hulk hogan and a plate of sushi hey brother fucking your wife fucking my friend's wife

[19:32]brother this is and i would do an action figure of my friend's wife and hulk hogan and then oh i ate like a pig brother which which of your rob which of your friend's wives would it would they actually figure me huh which one of my friend's wives would i want oh yeah i'm so selective please okay oh i just said yeah it would be you know that's what that would be my action and my kids would be like hey is he gonna wrestle and i'm like no but watch this you know what i mean oh he's shutting down gawker

[20:02]so weird rob what is the kid's toy that you like oh i always like you know there's two things i i love uh actually three things i love tubing still i still love going out and going tubing like behind a boat i think it's so fun there's something about the the and my dad still is trying to kill me i don't know what i did like what i did growing up that my dad was trying to kill me my dad wants to hurt me so bad but i'm tubing but he literally hates me he'll he'll try to hurt me all the time uh i also think uh taking baths you know me guys i'm a big bath taking guy we talked about

[20:31]last last episode right yeah where my ass left a mark in the tub and i'm not sure about it i think i need but i love i still love just soaking in a bath i used to do that as a kid so much that i would get ear infections i thought about this some more rob i think it's disease that you take baths in other people's bathtubs i think it's messed up that you go to someone's house and then use their bath listen my sister has a bath tub i think it's messed up that you go to someone's house and then use their bath listen my sister has a big claw foot tub it is huge do you know how hard it is to find a bath for somebody my size where i can sit in this thing and luxuriate like shamu it feels so good to be in

[21:00]a giant bathtub i love it is that a real word i love i love the idea that of all the things i say russell's like taking a bath disgusting don't you have your respect rob would you rather have relations in a huge bathtub or on the trampoline oh we're a waterbed russell russell i'm telling you right now have you ever actually well i'm i'm just gonna say this right now if you've ever actually had tried to have sex in water it's the worst i don't think it's literally it no it's a good idea it's very bad it literally is

[21:30]like i don't i don't know what it's like it's like putting on a it's not even a sweater it's like rubbing two pieces of cardboard together i don't get it the other thing i love from my childhood is breastfeeding all right let's get into rolling it's time to see what everybody's up to it's time for what's rolling gold oh yeah give me that mommy's milk okay rosie uh rolling going out to go with you uh you know it's uh it's going great i oh i'm sorry rosie do you not think breastfeeding is good

[22:03]okay oh you think it's gross that women shouldn't be able to do that in public okay you want them to cover it i i have to be honest it is uh it is the second day of uh of preschool being closed uh and my son tonight said dad i'm gonna give you a hug because you've been grumpy all day and i had to like i had to step back i had to step back and be like man shit was i really grumpy all day so i'm i'm here to try to turn it around and not be grumpy with my son because he's actually been wonderful we went ice skating yesterday first time

[22:33]ice skating in my whole life uh any wipeouts no no wipeouts i so here's the thing i i am i don't know if you guys knew this about me i was a semi-serious inline skater for a period of time when i lived in minneapolis next week we probably have some alternative rock shit or something

[23:01]so when you say when you say that you were a semi-serious inline skater does that mean now here's what i'm picturing you go to the park you're in spandex okay you got cool sunglasses on and you are going through the cones on one foot like or does it mean that you just you were a terrible skater but you just had a serious face wherever you went but i was more it was closer to russell's interpretation i was more of a distance skater

[23:31]than a skills skater so once i learned to skate oh my god i thought oh this could be my cardio activity so i love running but i'm so lazy what can i do oh god what can i do i love running marathons but i just fucking hate running i think i went as far as about nine miles because i went you know i went from down that far i went from down and you tried skating nine miles i could easily i just don't have time right now i went from down in matt's neighborhood up around all three in our minneapolis uh minneapolitans will know i went around all three lakes of the chain

[24:02]of lakes up you know cedar uh lake of the aisles all the way around and back a couple of times and went all the way from you know south minneapolis up to the university of minnesota so anyway all that is to say uh i did okay on the ice because i had the experience with the inline skating i also noticed that you were pushing your son on a thing so you never actually skated you were pushing around like a little kid with a with a sawhorse going around well yeah i mean he was yeah they had these little seals that was that was the big thing they had a little seal that the kids were supposed to be able to hang on to to skate but of course he's smarter than me he was like

[24:32]well no i'm just gonna sit on this and you push me but but i did get i did i did skate a little bit on my own i tried to do a turn once and turn backwards and i almost wiped out and took out my whole family oh my god i would pay money for the video i had to stop trying to do tricks how about backwards backwards did you make it backwards i tried yeah i tried and i thought i was going to wipe people out because it was like it was a very crowded skating rink because this was like fully you get 90 minutes to skate it's like fully amateurs only so everyone there is like their

[25:02]first time with skates on at any time aaron did they bring out a giant pair of dice okay and i can't remember why they did that at my local roller rink but they would always bring a giant pair of dice now right for the yeah yeah i just want to tell you my school that's right my school i think hated me because they would always do a field trip to the roller rink they're like hey hey you the big fat kid at elementary school who's really self-conscious about embarrassing embarrassing himself in front of others i'm still in by the way um we are going to put you in roller skates uh and then have you skate with a bunch of girls

[25:31]oh and guess what it's couple skate that's a real thing i don't know why they had a giant pair of dice because i was playing in the arcade the whole time snowball i thought we called that the snowball matt right isn't that called the snowball you wait and then the girl skates around they pick one of you out and you got to skate around with them and that's the worst is wondering if i sit here what if i'm the last person and no one picks me to do the snowball it's the worst it's cold outside but it's hot in here snowball that's gonna sound good as a reverb yes and so then after we went skating we went out for lunch at almanac brewing and they have an airstream

[26:03]trailer with scolari's which is shout out scolari's one of the best burgers in the bay area but i gotta ask you guys i had a really delicious burger but how many toppings on a burger is too many because this one was like this was amazing six is too many five because this was bordering on too many so this had rob you might have you might have to do you might have to get out the james brown yeah yeah well that's getting edited out so it's gonna sound like i came up with this on my own this burger had bun no shut up a bun is not a topic

[26:32]if you say a second bun on the top i'm gonna be so fucking mad back to the inline skating all right blue cheese no okay okay okay blueberry sauce okay no wait a minute bacon keep going a big pile of arugula i think that's it i think that was the whole thing i think i think that's the whole burger

[27:04]yeah that's a burger i don't think that's too many that's not crazy that's okay that's all right if you're calling the fucking bun is too i don't know what you're talking about i was just trying to build it from bottom to top i was just trying i was just thinking about the construction the architecture no we understand why you said the bun like it's not a mystery to us why you said the bun but that's not a topping yeah i mean we'll agree with you but anyway it was a good day yesterday i had a nice day yesterday and then i still ended up being a mean old daddy today so i gotta figure out i gotta figure out how to

[27:30]turn it around over the next two weeks i just every time i order a blue cheese burger i'm never happy with it i always think i am i like blue cheese i'm down with it and then i get a burger with it i'm just like i don't know there's something like the oh i think the funk on the funk is what what you need like that i like it i don't know i'd rather have some barbecue sauce does it smell too much like that trampoline what did you say that smelled like mulch mulch yeah mulch or like our soy sauce either smells like blue cheese or mulch you guys know what i'm talking about what what no somebody's in this call that just says iphone that is uh what what

[28:05]do you guys think what do you guys think is the the most important topping for a burger if you could only have one burger topping for the rest of your life and aaron that doesn't include the burger or the bun what would you guys pick as your lone topping i'd go with cheese first bacon closely followed by bacon they're interchangeable i really you know i like something spicy i like a pepper on there i think a pepper is good what about you russell what do you love i'm with matt i think bacon's the way to go yeah i just it's

[28:31]meat on meat it makes no sense it does if it's only one only one topping i gotta say mayonnaise like they say if it's only one only one single time i gotta say mayonnaise i really try aaron i really try that i do i started today and i was like i'm gonna be nice to aaron i feel bad about how i'm treating him lately i really feel bad oh excuse me can you put some mayonnaise on my burger no get the fuck out of here oh also you uh can i have a bun yeah it's a burger all right rolling going man

[29:00]how's it going with you uh good good i'm gonna keep it on the food uh topic i don't know mine is two we should just do a food podcast that's what we want to talk about i i know we've talked about a number of times but going out to eat and or just have a beer by your side is a good idea yourself right uh vacation i did it again tonight i was driving home and i'm like what am i gonna have for dinner the kids are asleep all this stuff had rough tonight so like all i want is some pizza luce so i stopped in pizza luce and i was about to call i was about to call him up jeez and say

[29:33]you know hey let me get the that is driving from rosemount yeah beautiful rosemount wonderful city i want what do you want on the pizza i want some crust some sauce and some cheese those are my favorite pizza toppings that's what i really love it's some butter on top of that yeah some weird thing but so then i thought you know my good buddy rosie has got some great ideas sometimes and i thought you know if i just somehow pretend like i you know didn't call ahead i just

[30:00]walk in there and order i'm gonna have to take 15 minutes of my time right brilliant that's a couple of there's a couple of football games on and in the t-wolves well i'll while i'm sitting here i'm gonna have to have a beer right yes and you know you it's the perfect amount of time if you order a pizza get a pint of beer you could drink that beer while you're waiting for the pizza and it's the perfect like 15 to 20 minute break from all of your worries really sitting at that bar really and then you know what you're not one of those loser guys who's just sitting there drinking like 16 coors lights with a couple

[30:34]shots of jameson what right i mean because you have an excuse while you're sitting there drinking alone right so i mean like just in there you gotta have an excuse to not be drinking alone right oh so i've got a pizza on the way that's why i've been sitting there with 16 jameson oh did i forget to order my pizza oh no yeah you gotta kill him and leave like james brown so i think i'm slowly coming around to this uh concept of either having a meal by yourself or just having

[31:00]a beer by yourself or just doing anything by yourself right and so this is my slow turn into becoming an alcoholic that's sitting in the corner of the bar by myself for four hours but i still have an excuse now before we actually get to that i think that's what we call the business and fyf fuck your family you do not need to be hanging out with your family every night they are fine aaron you say with me aaron fuck your family just go get a beer by yourself it is cool everybody loves and guess what when you come home you're a better dad it's great it is important to do things by yourself kind of like going to vegas when you go

[31:33]to vegas for a couple days yes i come back from vegas all the time and i'm always like i'm so tired i'm so worn down i don't have time to deal with you can we just order dinner they're like what did you do on your vacation i'm like i was so busy and also by the way you're all going to community college for the first two years i'm sorry now wait i thought no that was gonna rob rob i know you're playing a character on this podcast but i will have to say true i have witnessed rob ordering dinner for his

[32:03]family in new york while he's in las vegas that's true that's true hero stuff rob taking a break from a hot run at the table to say you know what if i don't have time to deal with you i'm going to order this pizza my children will not eat tonight and he does it i think last time we were there he took a break from dancing with a ping-pong coach like kings carter oh you know what though she's actually a badminton coach oh bad i do have a question we do a vegas trip every year do you guys ever tell people less about what we do in vegas because you don't want to sound too boring

[32:33]like you don't want people to know that all you do is sit there and oh no no no no no i i i live it up like you know we everybody might have what they want but i don't want to be a badminton coach one change of clothes right i talk about our good friend joe from woodbury all the time because they say well what do you do out there say well i like to go eat all you can eat crab legs right yeah but i got my good friend joe woodbury who that that 50 buffet or whatever that's the last thing he's going to do because that means that's 45 that he doesn't have to spend on eastern tennessee playing

[33:03]acorn state you know on some some basketball game uh you know at 11 30 in the morning on a saturday so yeah i said no it's our i'm not gonna lie guys our vegas trips are awesome because everybody can do whatever the hell they want yeah eat whatever you want yeah we don't go to we don't go clubbing and try to pick up chicks which sounds just horrible to try to like dress up and it's not because we go dancing and we just dance with each other the whole time okay it's definitely not erin and i dancing together and

[33:32]then wrestling and literally women come and try to talk to some of us and we butt them out we we put them in a roller rink of our own where we make them go stand by the arcade all day spend the twenty dollars they're supposed to spend on the arcade and they're supposed to rent roller skates with um i do think we do get a lot of street cred from the women in vegas though when all you idiots wear the johnny manziel jerseys that down there that's a real smooth move when you guys do that i think they love that i like the two when we went out uh those brothels are illegal and we went all got out and got prostitutes oh my god that was so awesome

[34:02]i love that especially erin got remember how tall that one chick was rob that you were she's like 6 10 guys you know that's my dream a tall woman nobody could wrestle me to the ground with their pure physical strength oh my wife or bachelor or bachelorette parties erin got a limo to take us to the bunny ranch and we ended up at the fucking zoo it was the nightmare can you imagine las vegas that sounds fun think about so obviously we're joking about the brothel thing are we but here's the thing is that think

[34:32]about taking a limo out to the brothel like you would you ask the limo driver to stay there and then like when you come back out like five minutes later you'd be like keep it running yeah yeah it was awesome actually and they paid me like it was it was a reverse problem it's a brothel now it's actually for me and they said i'm really good and you gotta pre-pay that driver right like you can't go in there and rely on paying that driver with the cash you got left right because every every dollar's getting drained from you yeah you just come out with a bunch of like dental dams like you're pulling dental dams

[35:02]out of your underwear i don't even know where this comes from benign uh so yeah i will say somebody asked me once about vegas uh oh do you guys go see a show and i laughed out loud i couldn't even help myself i laughed because the idea of us someday we're gonna do it we're gonna see celine no we are not before i die we're gonna i'm one of you guys is gonna go with me to see celine russell will do it i know he will girl are you gonna come see me in las vegas that he's not on the show in vegas because he's the one who's not there's only three boys a minute it's ridiculous uh russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going last time i told

[35:34]you guys i went to nashville i had a bunch of fun experiences but i didn't get to tell you about all the music experiences i had so i had to i had to fill you guys in and give you guys some some nashville tips when it comes to music is that all right please yeah it's a music it's a music podcast so the first thing i noticed this was the first time where i'd ever seen music where you tip via venmo you don't sometimes you can throw cash in the can but they all have the scanner up there so you can go up scan your phone and you get their venmo and you can send them a tip for a song i thought that was really cool wasn't it i like

[36:03]pretty good yeah you can also request money from them you a lot of people don't realize that but you can push request and request money be like not that great didn't like it request i kept putting in the beck did it better and hitting request hundred dollars and i got no one to fight the official seems like something very from burnsville would do but one thing i wanted to ask you guys is let's say you go and you're in nashville and you want to hear a certain song you really want to hear stevie wonder you really want to hear something what is the right amount of money to tip to get someone to play a song is there a cover at the show no cover at the

[36:36]show i have no idea i'll go 20 bucks 20 minimum 20 right 20 i was gonna 20 bucks how many yeah because how many people are in the band five bucks there's like five people in the band maximum you're gonna go more than that you guys gotta remember that rob's guy who just you know he'll put it he'll put it on his credit card and just pull it back so he really can't take he'll do the venmo and then dispute the venmo i got scammed i was smart for doing that you guys are so so i

[37:02]think i think it really depends on how you're tipping because i think if you're tipping with you can go up with like five ones and toss it in there and make it look like it's a little more than you are but okay if you're tipping on venmo and you send a five dollar tip they see it they're gonna be like fuck that i'm not i'm not playing stevie wonder it's only five bucks right i think so i mean so what so what happened did you did you request a song i did i made some requests you want to play me so yeah which ones are successful the first song i requested for 20

[37:32]bucks i i went and i was like well these are kind of these honky tonk fans yep yep yep rod you don't even want to know what what smelled like mulch after i played oh no i bought my wife instead of a pepper shaker i bought a rump shaker and now everything smells but i was trying to think like what band that we've listened to so far kind of has a honky tonk feel that would be kind of in line with what a lot of these people were singing and the one

[38:02]band i thought of was the band i picked the band oh and i requested a song by the band but they didn't know cripple creek but they played the weight and it crushed it was really good okay so good that's a good choice in nashville too that's that's they probably respect that i like that this is a 50 song for sure i also there was a band that had was an all-woman band i was like this is badass they were up there they were killing it there was joan jett all sorts of good things playing i was like i'm gonna request atlantis we just listened to atlantis

[38:32]they said no dice we don't play atlantis shot it down did they refund your venmo uh yeah they do not refund venmos in nashville when you send request songs that they're not going to play or when you request a song and then their set is up like 30 seconds later and they're done they do not refund your venmo that's why you gotta hit that request button it's great but the the other interesting thing was there was a couple fiddle players and as you guys know we've done the

[39:01]list of the greatest fiddle songs ever so i'm gonna request a couple of them and i'm gonna i immediately go and i'm pulling up my list that that we did on the oh my god podcast months and months ago and i'm like i need to request um this garth brooks song or whatever the other ones we requested and the fiddle players were fantastic there was one that i saw at two different bars she kind of moonlights with different bands and just shows up and kills it but there were actually a few songs that you have to pay a minimum of a hundred bucks to hear can you guys guess what the hundred dollar songs are they will not play it devil went down to georgia devil went down to

[39:31]georgia was one of them they will not play it they will not play it they will not play it they will not pay it and let or play it unless you give them a hundred bucks well is colin baton rouge one of them too for by garth brooks no that was got this down uh one of them was not one of them was not a fiddle song ring of fire johnny cash nope rob i'll give you one more guess is it this one this is this this is a song on an album

[40:02]pickle juice drinking one of the songs you have they will not play unless you give them a hundred bucks free bird they don't play free bird in nashville okay unless you fork out a hundred bucks right that i thought i was gonna get a play because i was looking for the best fiddle songs and shania tween was on my list i requested shania they said they do not play shania in nashville unless you tip a hundred dollars what a hundred dollars yeah

[40:32]that makes me any man of mine or is there another shania song to be any man right there's a couple of them i'd have to go back and look and see on my venmo which one i requested that they didn't but for as popular she is with like the let's just say the female crowd that's a little older than us right don't do it oh yeah we're talking about milt oh yeah milt love shania twain rob do you know how old we are women older than us are like oh you want

[41:02]milfs that are younger than us i'm just saying like yeah you want young milfs that's sick i don't like that i mean women older than us and like yeah that's getting into like grandma territory what's the age for cougar you know you put on some shania twain you try to repair the washing machine it's a perfect wednesday i think it's great honey i'm stuck in the washing machine what smells like mulch it's getting stronger and stronger i think is this russell's wrong going

[41:30]why are you putting a trampoline behind me why are you putting a trampoline behind me why are you putting a trampoline right behind me that doesn't make any sense one of those little exercise ones the the other thing i wanted to share i thought there were five songs that kill the most out of any songs in nashville there are five honky-tonk songs that when these songs get played the crowd goes apeshit everyone is into it you guys want me to share those songs with you honky-tonk need to know honky-tonk i need to know honky-tonk woman not on there the first one is family tradition hank williams jr drink

[42:02]why do you roll smoke yeah i feel that why must you live out the songs that you wrote i'm done now go ahead next one on the list we talked about her last week dolly parton jolene when they play jolene burn the house down the cougars whatever you want to call them that i know your age changes i don't know if they'll stay the same or not but they love jolene that song absolutely crushes what i love

[42:30]about the milfs i don't know if they love jolene i don't know if they love jolene i don't know if i get older they stay the same age that actually guys we need to pull it back a little bit come on you guys see that that's actually true i don't know i think that's i mean milfs i'm sensitive if you want to come sit on my face on a trampoline next song that absolutely crushed it i think this is johnny paycheck take this job and shove it shove it love that one another one i don't know if we've ever covered this guy before stevie ray vaughn pride

[43:01]and joy pride and joy in a humpty tonk kills it yeah okay i love that little thing she's my pride and joy but you gotta have a real guitar player to play that one i mean i guess in nashville that's what you got yeah and then the last one aaron probably wouldn't approve of this because he likes grilled chicken but it was zach brown band fried chicken oh hey absolutely that song has been on a hundred playlists that i've made i love that song i i unabashedly unironically love that song even even the weird military

[43:31]i want to point out again that russell i think when we started this podcast russell literally knew nothing about music and now he's got like lists upon lists that he can go request he's like now the musical expert russell i'm so proud to see all the growth that we've made i mean i think all of us have we've gotten more mature uh we're kind of like we're kind of like mind milfs if you think about it you know what i mean like we're we're stronger up here we're getting older and stronger

[44:01]there was a band there was a band with a saxophone player and i pulled out my list and i showed him the list on my phone i was like you pick whatever one you want he didn't know a fucking one of them i was like oh you're junk man you're trash wait not even baker street didn't know it come on come on get out of here you know any of the rolling stones ones on there nothing he didn't know it and i remember sanctioning that list too i just don't want to say any right now but i think that that's you know it's ridiculous that he wouldn't know that rob rolling going how's he going with

[44:30]you i'll talk to you in a minute i'll talk to you in a minute i'll talk to you in a minute i'll tell you what so the other day i did a weightlifting meet i did a power lifting meet and you guys know that i am now buying underwear based on what uh gay men review on amazon okay i am only buying underwear that gay men review highly on amazon because i realize if you want your pathetic math's picture on them or not i was gonna say but hold on hold on how do you how do you know that they're gay men reviewing them they say i am a gay man that's reviewing yes actually yes that's exactly because what you do is you go on amazon and you go uh search bulge

[45:01]and if they are talking about the word bulge over and over and over you have hit the jackpot you are looking at the right underwear because i was like how do i make you know and you know what it's like you get old man like a penis to start with never going to be one of the most beautiful things ever like nobody's ever looked at penis been like oh that's gorgeous i love it it's it's it's more it's terrible it's more you know rob that's because you didn't see the snow penis that was built outside of kildall hall in the summer of or the winter of 2000 i've never seen a more beautiful penis than the snow penis that a few people have seen in the summer of or the winter of 2000 i've never seen a

[45:31]of our compatriots built out of the snow in st louis at st louis it was like nine feet tall it was so impressive had like a beautiful head on the thing just like perfectly my penis would look like that in about march when a bunch of dirt got on it too you know and it's like there's like dirt and like pine needles on there for some reason it's like why they're there's pine needles way up the shaft like higher than you'd think like it's true the snow did get really ugly by march yeah you're totally right that's exactly what mine would look like is just like that gray gray um and so i was

[46:00]now now normally at powerlifting means they check what kind of underwear you wear because they want to make sure that you're not wearing underwear that's going to help you lift well so i've always worn tidy whiteys because that's the rule i have one pair of tidy whiteys i just wear it for the meads but i made the big mistake of wearing my you only have one how many p-stains are on the one pair at this point you must have like you got to be able to oh i only wear them i only wear them like twice a year but yeah they're covered in piss i mean by the end of a meet forget about it there's so many layers you're trying to peel down you know i got something going on i don't know

[46:30]what's going on there's something weird but that's why i wear the fanny pack and then i'm trying to check like i said i pissed my pants but my stomach's so big that i gotta like look over and pull it out you know what i mean when you gotta like it's like oh and then how do you do that in a bathroom without looking like you're really going to town it doesn't make any sense another thing i learned in vegas big fat guys should not wear fancy belt buckles it just looks terrible the gut hangs over the fancy belt buckle especially if you're a lead singer fat lead singer can't do the fancy belt buckle it's a bad move i agree nashville you saw this that's where you saw yeah

[47:00]uh so then it turns out that when i am doing a power lifting meet i am wearing spandex okay and it turns out spandex highlights everything including if you're wearing underwear that highlights your bulge so i now have picture and by the way this is a national meet so there are pictures like on the national power lifting thing of me dead lifting okay and when you deadlift the bar starts at the bottom and you pull it up and if you guys want to see where the bar comes up to i'll just show you right here we're getting a lot of bulge in the oh whoa raps what kind of

[47:30]guys i gotta be i gotta be cool i gotta be agile for this so i was not wearing any pants picture of rob loves kanye it looks like i'm rolling out dough when i'm pulling the bar up and it just makes my teeny penis and big balls just go up higher and stick out it really is terrible so every picture of me and then i have to like show people at work and like show kids in my classroom like oh here's a deadlift and nobody says like oh wow you're a deadlift and i'm like oh here's a deadlift and nobody says like oh wow you're

[48:00]balls are really sticking out far when you do that it's absolutely humiliating i i know this dominates your facebook but i don't know if people are as into your lift pictures as you may be oh no or your own penis listen i absolutely love my penis like i wouldn't trade it for anyone else this is the one i'm here for you wouldn't trade it no i wouldn't trade it i'm very happy with it it's been with me for my whole life i've always never would i would never trade it i've always thought you have the biggest penis on podcast rosie and i was

[48:30]actually gonna bring it up and take a bath but now we all know if you like it i know it's yours although i think matt might be a hidden but i think matt's that's the dark yeah that's the secret of course in this one but no one i know richfield water about their own no one i know thinks about their own penis as much as rob does like no one actually thinks about it as much as rob does it's it's impressive like you spent so much time thinking about it and it's it's it's a beautiful relationship to watch the two of you go through together oh it's wild my i don't know it's what what do you think about then like what like when

[49:05]you look in the mirror and you're just in your underwear you're like oh there's my side of my body i don't have a full-length mirror i just like i don't see myself in my underwear i usually think i spent way too much money on belt buckles at that stupid store right now i'm just thinking about aaron's penis well you got me switched up here now i'm thinking about yours so it's still switcheroo so i love it it's a switch on the album robber is there more oh is this a music of me powerlifting and humiliating yourself i'm not pissing myself my penis is hanging out it's

[49:33]a nightmare well you are the world champion yeah you're a record holder man you know your record yeah oh and every picture of me has my dong and if it was big it would be better but it's let's talk about the album there's there's photographers that can fix that for you i can't believe aaron wouldn't trade real professionals even one day aaron wouldn't trade for one day i feel really jealous right now so jealous oh my god can you imagine well i mean love the one you're with man that's all it is if you had to compare it to a household item aaron what would you compare it to because like for me it would be like one of

[50:02]those salt shakers you see at a restaurant actually pepper the color is closer to pepper so i would compare it to my favorite chef's knife because i use it every day oh my god a chef's knife i got a new petty knife that i really like but i'd still i wouldn't i'd stick with my favorite chef's knife my mac oh my god which is like five times longer than my actual penis but i mean this is like you know it's like something you use every day i'd be lucky to have a paring knife that is i'm so jealous i was i was kind of more thinking of a corkscrew but not like the big wing screw like the cheap corkscrew

[50:33]where you got to take up the piece apart and put it in there and it's got the little screw that's a bone of contention in my house right now because i would like a new corkscrew my wife thinks all of our crews are working fine but like i'm i'm the i like i want a new wine key and she's like no they're fine but i'm like no like they're actually wearing out because we use them love the wine key you're with rosie just love the wine key you're with she probably she probably is getting you one for the holidays aaron she doesn't want to tell you about it if i was gonna if i was gonna my penis is something that i use around the house it would probably be like you know those little

[51:02]oyster forks like the little oh yeah i have one of those we are talking about size i was talking about utility and yeah right yeah right you know utility color you just use it all the time see you're always thinking like my fondness for the implement let's talk about kanye west and mine's like an oyster fork because i use it about as much as i use an oyster fork around my house twice a year here we go and when i cut them open sometimes there's crabs inside

[51:30]we are talking about the college dropout uh and and so three things about this album so kanye this is kanye's debut album uh he was a producer for jay-z for a long time and he was trying to get signed anywhere like he he was trying to find somebody to give him a record deal which in retrospect like this whole album in retrospect is insane to listen to because he's always like oh nobody would hire me nobody would do this but as a rapper though right right yeah not not because he could he could clearly write and he could really clearly come up with a tune but he wanted to be the guy out front be the rapper yeah he was already producing he was already producing

[52:02]for jay and scarface and plenty of people yeah but to think back that a record company would get kanye as a rapper and be like no i think we're gonna pass on that like you must just go home and you just scream into your pillow after that like it'd be terrible so he actually he signed with jay-z's rockefeller record as we've talked about before and when this album came out his debut album it debuted it came out at number two on the charts right off the bat just hit number two right so this came out it was nominated for album of the year and it won rap album of the year

[52:32]and it's known for not only popularizing chipmunk rap as we heard russell's take on it earlier but also uh being big for conscience rap is that how you say it because i want to say conscientious rap but the wikipedia says conscience rap where he's talking about like actual like doing the right thing i mean he's making thoughts yeah like he's kind of making overtures toward that but it's hard it's hard now to to think about this in 2004 terms right because now we know who kanye is and

[53:03]now i'm only listening to it for the parts where he shows you who he really is because when he talks about you know i woke up today uh i think i can't remember which track it's i will hear it but where he's like i woke up with a new state of mind you know a creative way to rhyme without using nines and guns it's like now he's like taking shots at guys who talk about nines and guns and it turns out like he's also a shithead so i don't know like yeah he was talking about backpack conscious rap but but i think he was just trying to sell or or do you think that's just a reflection of people wanting to go against gangster rap

[53:32]like saying like oh yeah because this in 2004 this is like this is right after 50 cent was like controlling the game and so this was you know and and jay was rapping about the same stuff 50 was but jay wasn't as hard as 50 so rockefeller said oh like if we use kanye now we kanye go back and kanye is not a gangster right i mean his mom's a college professor you know he's he's smart as hell and you know things like that so he's i mean he's just not a gangster he can't be

[54:02]a gangster rapper if you're not a gangster let's play this first song because i think this is a great yeah yeah let's do it just how unbelievably this album is so this is this i love this idea this is we don't care and i love this album i will say right now like i playing this album today i would listen to this album anytime and i have many times in my life listen to the lyrics jokes on you we still alive and he's rapping about chicago yeah which a lot of people weren't in the mainstream at the time but here's why kanye's a fucking genius right

[54:32]is that every single rapper is saying listen you didn't think we're gonna make it i'm dealing drugs on the street everybody thinks we're gonna die you know society is against us the white man is supplying us with drugs and buying us our drugs and or buying drugs from us and putting us in jail for drugs um but what kanye does and this is the genius of it is then he then has kids sing the lyrics to this song it's so much more powerful i mean listen to this listen to kids saying it i mean i agree i'm a sucker for that yeah i'm a sucker for that it's so fucked up to hear actual

[55:04]young kids singing like oh we're not supposed to make it until we're 25 they're not 25 like that's when i'm talking in class about like ethical issues with students i always say what would you do for your kid right because it's so different when we talk about it like think of all the stuff you've done okay and aaron is pointing to all the pictures of feed he has in the background okay uh and and and now he's sniffing like that you remember that one night in vegas yeah about what you did that night you would be mortified night i would be mortified

[55:32]if my kids were doing shake check three times in one night i told you guys that last week i would be mortified if kids did what i did growing up and i didn't really do bad stuff but like but but when you think about kids doing it it's like it's it's terrible like if my daughter had this podcast and was talking about milf son trampling i'd be furious it'd be terrible thanks guys this is a great podcast i mean i know i'm thinking of that so that's an i mean like i'm trying to think like when your daughter makes a podcast is she gonna be talking about milson

[56:00]tramplings i'm thinking probably not but again rob would you if that happened if she did think about that those things and have a podcast about it would you still throw her a party on her graduation day i i definitely definitely would oh you know what i'm skipping all the skits i'm skipping all the skits um all falls down listen to this and i can't recall if lauren hill was supposed to be on this track or might have recorded some vocals for this one and

[56:31]then they didn't make it but uh definitely selena johnson is is intended to sound like miss lauren hill lauren hill's got a writing credit on this one i noticed okay yeah yeah yeah sampled it and then gave her writing credit right because this would have been from her unplugged right i think she did it in her unplugged album and then maybe i think they had to re-record the vocals this song got all the way up to number seven on the hot 100 and was actually nominated for best rap song collaboration at the grammys and it's all about his consumerism and a lot of this album is actually about him

[57:01]he's like i can't believe i bought this i can't believe i bought that like what what am i thinking i the other day looked at our amazon this was before the holiday started i looked at our amazon receipts one month we averaged one purchase a day from amazon what is your guys's relationship with amazon aaron what's your relationship with amazon it's got to be a twisted tortured one knowing you i avoid it at all costs i avoid it when i can we we both in our house like if if we have to buy from amazon we both kind of look at each other like if we have to buy from amazon we like oh my god i gotta buy this from amazon but i buy local as often as i can or we try to buy

[57:31]direct from whoever is selling and then it ends up getting shipped via amazon but yeah i think amazon is pretty much the fucking worst can i tell you how mad i am at you by the way aaron because you've turned me off to almond milk now because you're talking about how bad it is for the environment i'm done with almond milk so i switched to lactose-free milk the other day hey it doesn't help aaron it doesn't help it was a disaster problem though the bigger problem is that we have not as and you can edit this out the bigger problem is that we've not as a collective it's a collective action dilemma like we all think

[58:00]that we need to make our individual choices and the problem is that there's been a systemic issue that allows amazon to exploit labor to destroy the environment with their server farms all that stuff and then i think that it will if i don't buy from amazon it's making a difference and it doesn't but i still try it's the idea of a carbon footprint right the carbon footprint the term was invented by an oil company because they want you to think it's you doing it and not some company hey matt if if rob and aaron keep this discussion up you can fly away and i'll fly away

[58:31]i'll just take it most recorded gospel song in history right here every gospel artist has done this like this feels are there other hip-hop artists that will throw something random like this in an album maybe there are here but like this feels like just kanye it's such a wrinkle it's so enjoyable i agree i think at the time it wasn't common in what what was uh cool about it like i think it does it all the time yeah many of the guys many of these guys

[59:00]would have grown up with it but they didn't think to cross over and let it you know bleed over into their popular work spaceship spaceship so good this was one of my favorite songs on the album how about you guys yeah the bass line on this one is so cool that little kind of blockage build type sound i mean he's making really cool sounds on this his thing about his thing about uh saying if the managers means him one more he's gonna like fuck him up i could relate to that

[59:30]so hard i had one real job before i started teaching just one and it was and i and i always tell people i'm like oh yeah i worked at starbucks i worked with starbucks for like three months like max like i because as soon as as soon as the summer came they were like okay you're gonna work in the summer and i was like no i quit goodbye i don't work in the summers thank you very much um but the manager once said something to me in front of a customer and after the customer left i turned around i said if you ever say something like that i'm gonna quit right now i said don't ever talk to me like that have you guys ever had a job where you had to like deal with a manager russell you were selling shoes or whatever did you have a jerk manager

[60:03]were they not caring they weren't selling those laces no i just i just i made it clear i'm not selling laces and i'm not selling socks and if they're not happy about it they can keep their six dollars an hour and i'll find employment elsewhere do you still have the referee shirt by the way could you wear that some podcast episode we didn't have to wear referee shirt at famous footwear we wore khakis and a long sleeve blue button up did you show up the first day with a referee shirt on you're like oh that's right famous footwear it's not footlocker shit and i already had it from when i was a shitty soccer referee

[60:32]so i thought i'd saved a bunch of money and i was like nope i gotta go buy a button up but i'll say i'll say about this song this is the and i mean kanye now is on a different you know plane of existence but this is one of the really interesting things about kanye is the intro to this song says this spaceship is like a slave ship so that word obviously immediately says like hey white people i am not talking to you i this is not this song is not for you you can go ahead and buy the album if you want but this song is not for you but and and much of this album really is not

[61:05]intended for us like all of the secret messages all of the references are not for us but we can all relate to like having a boss you want to tell the fuck off and like that's whole that's the whole thing i mean i think we talked about it with lauren hill too that they were able to make something that was for a particular audience but they still could sell records because it was so relatable to everyone and like that's not easy to do and it was a trick that he pulled more than once and it's really impressive i mean just do you think

[61:33]the do you think the red shirts that ever want to tell the guy who doesn't buy the link shirts for the store to fuck off erin or not yeah i'm sure that's their number one concern if i have to have one more customer come up and complain about there's no link shirts in here i'm gonna quit i think i'm going to buy a dozen bobby brain bobby heenan weasels you only have 10 out can i start can you get in the back and see if you got some more i read this does this sample marvin gay a song called distant lover is that right does it really i think so oh what's that what's a distant

[62:05]lover is that someone who's got a big kitchen tool that can stay further away slightly less than before i think um i i think a distance lover didn't erin you didn't you experience that when you're on a road trip down to kansas city with some guy to to make up with his girlfriend that's the thing about guys right my wife is constantly surprised by how slimy guys are she's always like i can't believe guys are so slimy and i'm like every guy knows a guy who drove across

[62:33]like three states on a like a 10 chance they're gonna get laid like 10 bacon it was less than it was less than 10 and erin went with just for fun i did i was moral support man also i was mad because i didn't get into the choir i was like i'm so mad i didn't get in the only choir i'm gonna take some caffeine pills and drive to missouri to see if i can get jeff's girlfriend back uh so good so it's like it's like a limo out to the brothel right he goes and comes back out right away and you're like so we just uh going eight hours back or but it probably is like that right

[63:04]because like you probably were if it was an eight hour trip you probably got one hour into that trip rosie and you're like oh god yeah this is gonna be a long trip right yeah for sure and yeah but i did it it was nine hours both ways driving so were you happy when he failed though and you had to turn around and come back like were you hoping it would have worked he would have hung out in missouri for three days like yeah for sure man like i will hang out here you can you know i'll

[63:34]just keep eating mcdonald's and like hanging out with your at your mom's house or whatever no once i got there i would have happily stayed in jefferson city but it didn't work out that way so we turned around and drove her straight back i brought you all these gatorades you wanted you know it works out you just need like so many gatorades so it's coming along all right jesus walks jesus walks is this the biggest commercial hit on this one or not i think through the wire

[64:00]i got paxton when he says gone to i mean this is one of the hardest songs on the album i don't know if it's the biggest hit or not i love it he's said gone to november there which obviously i mean to me is a wyclef reference and every song in here you hear what a fan of music he was he just he had such a catalog in his brain of music across all genres it's really incredible i like too that he's talking about he's like oh if i if i every label told me you can't rap about jesus and have a song like that and then that song comes out and wins

[64:32]grammy for best rap song right and then he made he talks about the last uh the last track he talks about this is that jesus walk song is one that he was uh farming around in different groups they're like nope you can't do it yep so man you gave me two time stamps for that did you want the second one played here uh i don't know okay let's do it how can you listen to this and not want to sign this guy

[65:03]he's not a good rapper his his songs his lyrics his beats everything's great he is not a great rapper he lacks unbelievable energy i mean it's like he's like a vanilla ice cream cone he's got nothing going for him and he probably he probably didn't he probably didn't write a lot of the like the the better raps on here he probably didn't write him i think consequence ghost wrote for him um who's the guy who did kick push it'll come to me later but yeah

[65:32]i don't think he wrote all the best raps on here so who cares so when you guys say he's not a good rapper or he's not as good as some of the other guys like so naz is considered one of the best right yeah i would much rather listen to this album than the naz album that was ranked way higher that's two different subjects though like this content and the beats and everything way better as a rapper as like the person who's actually saying the raps i mean naz blows him away i mean

[66:00]again i think every time i hear every time i hear kanye rap i mean i just want to be like is he bored is he like is it like three in the morning and he just wants to go to bed like i don't know that's just what i i when i hear him rap that's what i think of but all i know is that at some point in one of these songs he said the cock and balls which i was like why are not more people using that rhyme i think it's such a good rhyme you could use that rhyme and then you could use it with so many things rob's top five rappers kanye west because he said cock and balls uh curtis blow because he did uh christmas easy listen i'm probably gonna edit this out i'm

[66:33]probably gonna edit this out but have you guys ever clicked you know when you're doing that thing where you're like oh this video is no good this video is no good and you accidentally get on like cock and ball torture where it's just people what yeah it's just people just getting their like dicks and balls rammed over and over aaron's looking aaron knows what i'm talking about that would be a real bummer of a kink to have wouldn't it where you're like can you just please hurt my penis as much as you possibly can play racquetball i'd play racquetball the real question is how do you get into that the first time like that's jumping off a bridge the first

[67:02]time you do it first time yeah yeah well i think you just say hey like slap it around a little bit like you know punch bag it or whatever like you're on a trampoline i honestly think jumping on a trampoline naked that's probably the one problem with that plan of jumping on a trampoline naked i would seriously injure myself who's wait there was never a plan to jump on the trampoline naked oh you've taken another step i'm gonna have sex with my clothes on like a pervert pull it out through the fly gross aaron i respect my wife i'm not gonna have sex you're probably at a child's birthday party and you're trying to like oh make it happen quickly before anybody notices

[67:32]you know we sneak in at night to the trampoline place and when they open it up the next day they say why does this trampoline smell like mulch we've already talked about this keep up all right never never let me down right away yeah because look what an accident did to left actually did the left eye now romeo must die i know like the angels watching me from the other side is this jay-z on this one yeah yes and so he produced for jay-z and now he becomes

[68:03]is he a bigger star than jay-z at the time this comes out or not no no no but he was i mean this this is one of the confusing things about the first the track order on this album right because in in last call and through the wire he's already referencing back or this song references through the wire right because he talks about getting in the car accident but as a guy who as rama give it to you hung out on hip-hop forums in the years 2002 2003 people what was your name what was your name again and don't ask where i was during those

[68:34]times don't it's not important rama give it to you rama to give it to you this album was like it was always it was always anticipated like you know kanye had been producing for jay and he was in the background and it was like when is kanye's i'm gonna come out when is he gonna be able to rap on the same album so at this point when this came out he still wasn't i don't think more famous than jay when it came out but at certain points in the next 10 years i would

[69:02]yeah he probably he probably eclipsed jay's uh star wow rod i'm raw gonna give it to you really made a good point on that post i need to think about that hey rob when when i go out to jump on a trampoline my cock and balls i get them high you gotta give it up for just a classic weed song on an album right just it's all it's about right i love this part too where he's talking about he's trying to meet a girl she wants to meet another rapper and he's got to call him up

[69:32]and be like hey i gotta get with this girl this is like me and steve in college i mean that's my favorite cd that i play in my but this was also and i'm gonna stop talking at some point this was part of kanye's persona was he was like so on it on the black album which i think came out before this jay said truthfully i want to be talib qually i used to run like common sense but i did five million ramen like common sense so jay said he would have liked to be more of a conscious rapper like talib

[70:04]in common so kanye then goes out and gets jay on track eight and then goes out on track nine and gets talib in common top quality in common so like he's doing this thing where he's constantly responding to all the music that's out there and he's just like pulling from everywhere it's kind of genius stuff very cool aaron you still you're so fucking smart i don't care what we say about you when you get off this call uh when we get off the call what about what he's on what about when i'm on the call what about when you're making songs i mean no i'm respectful i would just quit right now i told you i'm respectful

[70:34]aaron if you were to if you were to think that we say worse things when you're not on can you imagine yeah i i will say i'm gonna say it again i've said it before i bet i think about aaron once a day i bet i easily like i like the other day i was just in a barbecue place and i was like aaron gotta ask him what's good i gotta it's like aaron has like aaron is like like my dad i'm kind of like oh yeah my dad like helped me and he's like made me the man i am but the man i am today i it's mostly aaron actually now every time you're gonna think

[71:01]about aaron when you stare at yourself in the mirror and realize aaron wouldn't switch his penis with anyone he compared his penis to a chef knife i mean that's the only other knife that i could think of would be a bread knife or a sword like that's the only other one my bread knife is too thin i think but a chef knife imagine damn mine is like a skewer mine's like a yeah it's like a skewer it's so thin and it's hot it gets hot to touch you gotta wear gloves so hot silver silver grayish though right like a knife yeah oh

[71:34]yeah yeah yeah it's great is this the workout plan song yeah yeah here it is this one was so fun to listen to wasn't it i don't know if it's got a bad message i don't i didn't process all the lyrics or what was going on with it but i enjoyed listening to it the video has anna nicole smith okay now you guys might be surprised at my thoughts on anna nicole smith but uh probably my archetype of the most beautiful woman i've ever seen in my entire life is anna

[72:03]nicole smith she was so gorgeous always just huge and busty and blonde and like tall and she looked like she could throw you down on a bed or stuff you in a dryer if she really wanted to like i was i always loved anna nicole smith always oh and then the video has her i'm telling you guys watch the video the video to this i thought was hilarious and yeah as somebody with two daughters would i want them running through a maze with kanye like making them work out probably not okay but still i make my own stories not fun that's how not fun of a guy i am slow jams

[72:36]this one was fun to listen to also wasn't it there's a lot of great songs on this one and this is a this is a flex too because i don't know if this is before or after jamie foxx was in ray but all of a sudden he's like yeah i'll take a comedian actor and let him sing the hook on my song and i'll still make a great fucking song and perhaps push his career isn't twist also

[73:01]on this one isn't he the fastest rapper remember we talked fast rap he had this guy on there too right here we go badass so good it's like me ready reading about my albums it's so fast and when he switches with the flow to sing along with the sped up shocker con sample i do think this was a this was a particular chicago style at the time so this is kanye like really giving a shout out to his chicago peoples breathe in breathe out he's talking about spending too much money on stuff and how do you get luda on the track and you don't

[73:36]even like this is a flex too you brought luda in just to do your hook you didn't even or maybe it was like i know if luda does a guest verse he's gonna kill me on it but like to have luda on and not even let him do a verse breathe in breathe out god i love ludacris so listen to this anytime right anytime you hear luda's voice you smile on your face school spirit school spirits so this is from an aretha song is it really she said he

[74:05]could sample it he said she could say or she said he could sample it but he could had to take out anything dirty that's why it's edited even on the explicit version yeah it is it's clean does anyone recall peter from saint paul dancing to the sun on a party bus or is that only me does anyone else have a vision in their head of peter from saint paul dancing to the sun i can picture it now i guess i don't get it i don't get why he's not a good rapper like it just is so

[74:39]euphonious to me i love listening to it am i dumb yes what a what a nice word it's a big dude no music opinions are not dumb if you sat down and listened to this whole album and you have an opinion because you gave it your time and attention that is perfect aaron you're you're right i'm a genius aaron's right rob there are no dumb music opinions only dumb people that have that's what i like to hear uh two words featuring most deaf this he did two words per beat for this

[75:06]whole song that's why it's called it's so nice yeah and freeway jumped in them too oh interesting boom boom boom boom you know this it's my love of time signatures oh what is it like six four they're doing like they're doing four eight eight four they're doing like eighth notes in there i love it one of my favorite parts of this song i don't know if we can find it on here but did you

[75:32]guys hear the choir there are a lot of these songs have choirs on um well there's probably been three of them already right that have had some sort of choir backing and so i thought we could maybe do a list of the greatest songs ever that have featured oh this is aaron i know you got talking to me you didn't make it so it's kind of speaking to me russell this is yeah this is you're talking my language right now if you don't have a song from sister act two back in the habit i'm gonna be so mad all right so the first song on the list we were talking about this group it's

[76:07]one of aaron's favorite groups the chipmunks the chipmunks and the harlem boys choir check this song out what the hell is this christmas time in uptown chipmunks and the harlem boys choir this is the first dance dance at my wedding and you guys know the harlem boys choir is the same choir that's playing with connie definitely

[76:32]here we go isn't that cool russell i love it and to think that they got to meet the chipmunks man that'd be unbelievable wouldn't it and then there's that human who like lives with chipmunks what a weirdo i i know i know that aaron gets um disappointed when he hears about choir because he didn't make the concert choir is i didn't make it ever i tried i didn't make it ever i tried multiple times so russell doesn't like it when i talk about my failures in music so i'm not gonna go on

[77:01]but so i thought god damn it people keep putting comments in the thing and my notes keep leaving my computer you assholes hold on i gotta move it over there all right next up on the list delete cock and ball aaron i know you don't like choirs by the way use big guys that gives you the good videos cock and ball searcher window close window close cancel download cancel download cancel download dr jerkel and hide your browser

[77:30]son of a bitch but aaron one of your favorite christmas songs you've talked about this one before is john lennon happy christmas the war's over check out every time this one hits me every time what have you done i've been on this podcast with you right isn't it and and i and i said the same thing on two episodes in a row two christmas i can't hear you too much choir sorry such a beautiful choir russell who's the choir on this one this is also a harlem choir but not the harlem boys

[78:01]choir it's the harlem community choir because he would have been living in new york at the time right there you go he checks out next song on the list from 1987 this is from the album band this is man in the mirror you in the mirror i'm looking at my chef knife's dick my dick's so big i compare it to a chef's knife i got a man in the mirror story i don't know if this is the one you do but i'm telling anyway

[78:32]i i was in one production in minneapolis with like the real fringe like i never got all the way into the hardcore minneapolis theater crew because i wasn't i wasn't like i don't want i was gonna say i wasn't that good but i'm interested but i was in one show joe saw it uh joe from woodbury i don't know why i'd be mentioning him but i happen to be yeah and hardcore but i got to go but as as as a member of this cast i did once or twice get to go to the like the minneapolis

[79:01]theater scene karaoke bar so on on sunday night that's where they did karaoke and and so it was all these theater kids who like they went there and that was their thing they were there to do karaoke and then there was a guy who was like i don't know if i'm gonna be able to do it but i'm a guy who was a neighborhood guy who just sat in the corner all night drinking his drink didn't say a whole lot but when it was his turn he got he got up and he did man in the mirror note perfect tore the whole thing down everyone in the place knew that he was the the man so that's my man in the mirror story and to think that i was talking about mommy's milk earlier and now we're talking

[79:33]about michael jackson who famously that's what he said to the doctor before he died i want mommy's milk give me milk isn't this guy fun just like this takes it to the end and make it higher doctor what was his name an interesting thing about that song there were two songs on the album bad that were not written by michael jackson this was one of them and one of the co-writers on this song was glenn ballard you guys remember glenn ballard was you want to say russell he was the producer on jagged little pill yes yes so the co-writer for that man in the mirror

[80:07]was the guy let me just say the doctor's name was conrad murray conrad murray that's who gave him the milk i'm so glad you brought that back also one other thing about that song that's really important is that it was a gospel choir the andre crouch gospel choir and it turns out this andre grouch gospel choir also played on

[80:30]this next song really 1989 this is like a prayer madonna same choir oh my god are we out of choir and songs time is it is that done i hope not like but have you heard one lately like i we need more choirs listen to this i mean this this this man in the mirror to get back to this real quick best part of the song just listen i mean it's not even close that is so good why don't we have more choirs and songs olivia rodrigo i know you listen to the podcast please you got people like aaron that don't like

[81:05]choirs because they got kicked out of the choir and i only wanted to be solo artists i know he's stuck on a music podcast aaron aaron remember that when you didn't make the choir i was thinking about andre crouch if i wish i wish i could have sung in andre crouch's choir maybe things would have felt different i wasn't going to make that one either who am i kidding all right last song on the list we featured a bunch of gospel choirs this one is another

[81:33]gospel choir the new jersey mass choir this is foreigner i want to know what love is check this yeah this should be happening all the time in every song i love watching aaron sing it and realizing like he's moving his head around it's like that's why they didn't put you in the choir because you need all the attention aaron like you're not just singing with your head straight and smiling your head's moving around and i was overcome i was overcome

[82:02]with emotion at the quality of that list that reminds me of the trampoline park again what are we overcome with emotion i'm still thinking about conrad marie i got to stop thinking about that all right here we go seriously look up the tape sometime it's good times uh so i'm skipping all the skits thoughts on the skits for this album i thought they were making a powerful message but just a little too made it too long it's a long ass album guys 71 minutes right

[82:31]i love the skits is it deray davis or whoever's impersonating bernie mack in the early on skits the voice i think is badass in the early bernie mack is unbelievable yes he's he's the best comedian to ever live and so rest in peace brings me back gone too soon gone too soon through the wire of course this famously was recorded after a car crash where he's got his jaw wired shut i cannot listen i mean you can hear him shit monster older shaka khan what's

[83:01]weird is when you when you finally hear the shaka khan song you realize oh that's what through the wire was i had no idea i cannot pour maple syrup without thinking of this song every time every what aaron what because what kind of syrup are you getting are you getting syrup out of a glass jar are you getting like uh mrs what is it now i'm not sure what it is oh i was gonna say the other one too that's also canceled yeah glass jar vermont maple syrup i mean or are you getting like that i think are you getting like the mrs buttersworth or whatever

[83:31]it is now you know i'm not come on rob you're just trolling me you're just trying to get me to say something you know i'm not getting when i first moved to vermont somebody asked me oh do you like maple syrup or mrs. buttersworth and i knew it was a trap i was like oh no i love vermont maple syrup aaron gets like the organic peanut butter version where it's like some sort of like maple leaf in there and then sugar and he's got that that'd be that'd be clever but no hey you want syrup in the morning okay i'm just gonna boil all the sap that i bought i've got a thousand gallons of sap i'll make one gallon of syrup i think of it is because

[84:03]he says because he has jaw wired shut he says i drink a booster breakfast and shift for dessert somebody ordered pancakes i just sipped the scissor so anytime i put syrup i just sip the scissor so anytime i put syrup i just sip the scissor so anytime i put syrup on pancakes i think about i just sit the scissor but he was sipping scissor because he was in pain so he had to have some you know relief if you guys got your jaw wired shut what would be the drink that you'd drink whiskey oh oh jesus christ aaron i think we need to talk after the show uh i was gonna say a shamrock shake but now i'm this whole thing you kind of

[84:32]bummed me out actually what what what i love shamrock shake i think it's the perfect food i gotta be honest with you i have less respect for people who like shamrock shakes i think they're terrible if you like them i think less of you what are you talking about like so you like see somebody at mcdowell's get a shamrock shake and they're so happy because it comes out oh my god the ice cream machine's working it's march i can't believe it's a shamrock shake and you look at that person say no why don't you like shamrock shakes russell what's your problem i'm a 99 percent judger on the myers briggs i don't like it if

[85:02]i see you get it i think you're okay so what would you have if you got your jaw wired shut i'd probably be um sitting at a bar by myself drinking whiskey and acting like i've got a pizza coming sir did you order a pizza um no sorry i have my jaw wired shut i can't actually have any but i did get a pizza with crushed uh shush and cheese oh okay yeah a pizza fucking idiot uh no offense aaron all right family business i can hear a little bit of monster there can't you from

[85:36]his other album you hear the piano in the back there yeah you didn't have a ton of maybe there was some piano on some of them i don't know maybe there was some piano on some of them i don't know but this one jumped out to me on this album that's family business family business that's what i always wanted to do i want to be a lawyer like my dad and then i would just have the same name and it would just be like oh shit i can't say that on the podcast fuck i'm gonna edit that out but it'd be like rob and rob rob and rob and i said to my dad like hey you i should be a lawyer and he's

[86:00]like do you want a job where every time somebody sees you they have a problem and you have to solve it i was like what did vanilla say about that yes actually i do he'll solve it okay last call nobody interested this is what happens guys they run out of steam michael has run out of steam quickly it is a clip this is a clever name for the last song of the album right yeah because it's like a phone call at the end right he's making a phone call let's call the album oh this is the one where he just talks about like all the people who didn't

[86:31]listen right who didn't sign it sounds like he's on the phone kind of yeah that's that's the google dolls it's perfect i mean listen this is talking about working with jay-z i was i listened to this i was at the gym i stopped lifting today the last time i was at the gym i was at the gym i was at the gym but then jay walked in i remember it was just so interesting to hear a guy talk about like oh this is how my career took off and this is his first album he's like yeah i'm big now it is cool i don't know and like when i listen to this right okay fast forward i just don't get why people when i say that this podcast the number one artist i've started liking because of this podcast has

[87:02]been kanye and everybody's like oh yeah i don't like kanye and i'm like why and they're like well he's kind of uh he's he's kind of nuts and i'm like oh really that's why you don't like him like so good like they're crazy good i don't i don't i don't get the hate just because of his public persona uh guys we are almost a three quarters of a fifth of the way through this podcast so you're gonna be staring at this face making trampoline jokes for about the next what did we calculate seven years now uh so is this album at 74 listen when i think about 7 74th best album

[87:39]i mean guys loveless last week what album is a little bit worse than my bloody valentine loveless the college college dropout is probably what comes to mind i mean it's good but is it good good well if it's perfect at 74 we call that a rolling well tone now i'm reading rolling stones website i am scrolling down okay now as i'm going down i'm actually going up the list so in this case to get to this uh one you'd have to scroll

[88:01]up unless you started at 500 so i'm scrolling up i'm going up the list which in this case is a higher number it's all making sense for some reason if this should be a little bit lower on this this got rolling boned it should be way way down oh i can't believe it's at 74 it could be at 63 it could be at 25 is this a top 10 album i mean i don't know uh that would be a rolling bone or is this a rolling groan okay and when i say rolling groan what i mean is that picture this like a

[88:30]trampoline park right you're in the trampoline park you've taken off your clothes you start jumping you realize you've made a huge mistake okay a huge mistake those things are flying around they're coming up and hitting you in the face it's a bad mistake it's a bad mistake it's a and all of a sudden they come in and find you somehow you have caught your balls in the springs of the trampoline and you can't get out and that's how they find you the next morning the way you guys see how rob keeps going here this is why we can't do a live album right now we've got a few audience members on silence and this is why we can't do the live album

[89:00]well now i feel like i need to start over because i don't think of something is this a rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan uh aaron what do you think this album is rolling rolling bone well-toned it is one of the great rap albums of the year that it came out it was what's what's interesting to me is that almost immediately kanye started moving away from this sound and moving into other things like i feel like workout plan is actually one of the ones that kind of presages what came after this but it's kind of the apex of what he was doing

[89:33]with with the hip-hop sound and a big change in in where hip-hop was going so i think it's always important it's influential uh for me it's kind of the apex of what he was doing with the hip-hop uh for me some of the beats get a little bit samey as you go along so i wouldn't i wouldn't rate it any uh higher on the list so i'm gonna just call it uh rolling well-toned matt what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan uh rolling groan for me i again kanye is boring to me i think he oh he adds a bunch of tricks and uh a bunch of i feel like man just kicked me

[90:05]i like he adds a bunch of uh you know he tries to put a little misdirection you know adding cool players in there adding you know how many different rappers can we bring on my album stuff like that and you know again he's a great writer whoever his ghost writer is too i think he's got good beats but i mean i would like him to not sound like he just woke up or that it's like three in the morning and he's tired as hell when he's rapping so my opinion this album could be

[90:33]down in the 200 somewhere so what was your strong take did you rank it matt would you rank it that it should be higher on the list not lower it should be higher on the list not lower it should be yeah so it's a rolling so like i that's what i call it should be have a higher number just be quiet for a second that's what i call my penis oh you said rolling groan that's why i call my penis okay never mind uh and by the way chef's knife as we know what aaron calls it uh russell would you say this is a chef's knife a paring knife or an oyster fork what do you think this is well now i'm thinking about myself and how that works and trying to factor in the shamrock shake

[91:06]in the equation and for me i i don't care whether he's uh technically a better rapper than any any of the other rappers out there i would way rather listen to this than many of the albums we've listened to i think the music on it is fantastic and if you've got the sway to bring in all these other amazing artists to be on your album you should get credit for that so i think um if i was as good of a musician as as kanye west i would also take my kitchen tool away from kim kardashian

[91:34]to go meet other ladies so i don't i don't blame him he can go get he can go wherever he wants but i think for this to me this is rolling boned it should be higher on the list i like it way more than a lot of the albums we've listened to and one of the most recent hip-hop albums we listened to is jay-z reasonable doubt i would way rather listen to this than reasonable 100 guys this is a rolling bone kardashian it's a double this is i mean when you listen to this album and he's talking about his hardscrabble life and how he was begging people to make an album and oh you know this is my big break and finally i got a hit

[92:03]single with jay-z and now you look at who he is i mean literally isn't he is now like associated with shoes he's associated with fashion he's he's a media mogul like it's crazy to look back at this album and he's talking about all these things i just think there's trump hats everywhere yeah okay so now you're kind of pulling a rob move where okay aaron's giving a big thumb up to that i don't uh so here's the thing next up guys we have an album that had a song that i actually wrote some lyrics for that was rejected do you want me to sing the song for you of course okay uh this is the song gray gray gray

[92:36]i've got gray tested cools it's aretha franklin soul lady souls we got the return of bernard pretty pretty on this album but you're just too lazy to look it up online if you want to hear four guys who chat and then they get off track i've got the perfect podcast for you jack beck did it better

[93:06]guys i have to share this i just got a text from our friend who's an executive that turns out he's transferred out of the wnba and is now into kitchen appliance oh no their top selling item is a magic bullet oh great that's a little one brussels a blender you don't have one
