[04:31]uh classics and also no popcorn in movie theaters definitely a horrible take uh you need to redeem yourself rob and feel i just want to say right now if you agree with me please text into the beck line hashtag rob is right and that's an evergreen one you can just text that in whenever you want but if you think popcorn is no good or ferris bueller is bad or a christmas story is bad hashtag rob is haven't you haven't you already asked for that like three times no one no one has said rob is right we're gonna we're gonna get some calls on the fourth time of begging for

[05:02]somebody to agree with you i feel like maybe our text box is all full i'm not quite sure how that technology works but i think it's that's that has happened that has happened a lot of our listeners do still text with the a a you know abc then they have to push it three times to get to the c you know they still have a lot of flip phones so it might be taking them a while they might be click one one for b okay you guys know what i'm talking about okay here we go feel free to um feel free to pick on me for that but aaron's dad was right about your bad takes except the part about the drake realize definitely still suck uh god all right now i got a bone to

[05:36]pick with russ uh talking about you guys this was a layup for us a complete layup another layup cut him off cut him off taking a bow with me they can go flag kite get out of here okay well let's see because he might be saying something really smart although so far he says some really dumb shit the movie theaters russ with his complimentary um movie going story from a number of episodes ago somewhere in between zero and 69 i'm not sure which talked about the

[06:05]complimentary movie well i may happen to know some of the guys that he complimentary movies with and know them well and one of the ones that we complimentary the bad news bears reboot a terrible reboot of a movie we didn't sneak anything in however we did sneak out the back door uh not we somebody else i know happened to sneak out the back door walked over to cub foods and picked up the 3-2 minnesota beer

[06:30]because you can't get beer after a certain hour in minnesota and so you have to go to a grocery store and get the warm crappy 3-2 beer snuck it back in through that same back door happened to have a celebration when the bad news bears celebrated at the end of it at the end of the championship that they lost oh jesus uh keep up the great work guys love the show bye so picture uh russell's backdoor santa of sorts coming in with this crappy 3-2 beer and when the bad news bears lose at the end they raise an actual beer in the uh theater according to matt totally legal at the time i've drank some bad drinks on

[07:03]this but i have never stooped to 3-2 beer at least within recent years so i do not think i was a part of sneaking any 3-2 beer into the big bad news bears did you see the bad news bears reboot in the movie theater russell is that the billy bob thornton one i have no i think so well then i think the if the answer is no it's too late to be believable i kind of caught myself red-handed but that one i love the idea i love the idea that you're like oh i got a lot to do i'm pretty busy

[07:32]but you know i better go check out this bad news bears reboot let's see what it's got in rotten tomatoes negative six well that can't be good oh well let's go so russell what is the so you would do complimentary movies i forgot that you'd even i told you guys that i had friends that would do a thing called complimentary movies and they were guys i grew up with and one they were they were two years younger than me so we were we were friends growing up but we weren't always in the same grade so i remember coming back from college one year and i went to a movie with these guys and i don't recall it being the bad news bears but it very well could have been and we walked up and

[08:05]like we're gonna get tickets and three of my buddies just walked right by the kid they just walked by him and they're like we're going complimentary i was like what are you talking about they're like this high school kid is not gonna stop us we're just going in to see it so like three or four of them walked in i did not participate in that i wouldn't pay for my ticket oh i thought you meant complimentary i thought one movie theater was uh 60 degrees and one movie theater is 30 degrees and so it's complimentary i think i made that joke

[08:31]last time too actually i was gonna say there's probably a january 6th joke to be made in there but i'm not gonna make it no aaron let's dig in that i like that i love to be on some actually i love it the downloads would be great if one of us could commit a federal crime i think it'd be great we'd have to subpoena this whole thing downloads galore did you guys have a favorite bad news bears movie back in the day did you guys ever get into those or not i've not seen any of them a favorite bad news bears absolutely not i think movies from the 70s suck they're not good

[09:03]like i will say the taking of pelham 123 with walter matho i did watch i thought that was really good but there's just something about like i don't know what they thought was funny back then like do i really need to see a kid say the n-word over and over is that is that something i need to see in a movie experience like you're just full of funny stuff tonight aren't you i'm just saying keeping it light just keeping it light that was in the bad news bears like i doubt it was in the remake i don't think they had billy bob doing that but still something to think about i don't know do

[09:31]you guys have any movies that everyone else likes that you guys hate if i'm so stupid for not liking ferris bueller which does suck by the way it is boring i do not like the movies what is who's the the ten and bombs and all those oh my god i love those movies wes anderson movies wes anderson movies i think people who like those are complete morons i'm out on wes anderson movies i think they're terrible rushmore is one of my favorite movies of all time oh that's like a really influential movie what's your favorite line from rushmore there's there's only one good one but

[10:00]uh what's your favorite line these are these are or scrubs oh are they these are my or pants oh or it's the one where he's like i didn't know you wrestle yeah i'm on the b squad he goes out and immediately gets pinned in the first 0.5 seconds i'd love that movie it's so good aaron what about you do you have a movie that everyone else seems to love and you just don't get it no i get all the movies i always understand movies i can i would never there's no time when are you a movie guy because you seem more like a music nerd rather than a movie yeah i i'm not now i mean i always try to watch the oscar

[10:31]nominated films because um i i want to like i mean at this point it's anything with gary oldman i just can't like i tried to watch manc last year because it was oscar nominated in the anytime that guy shows up i'm just tired of seeing his face uh so like i don't know i don't watch batman begins anymore because i'm just tired of gary oldman even though i loved i mean fifth element is in my top five movies of all time but yeah i i i um i can't think of any movies that everyone likes that i don't like i love the idea that you're like oh the one movie i just can't

[11:00]watch anymore batman begins it's like it's a classic that everyone else is putting it on all the time my kids are always saying papa papa please let us watch batman begins we love mr freeze or whatever i'm just like i can't watch gary oldman anymore and then like dark knight was great but now you watch it you're like well this movie is a mess i don't understand what he's doing and then dark knight returns like even bigger mess it's just like no one waving his hands like yeah don't you know don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain you're not really telling you a story don't get me started about movies rob you don't want to hear about this i i realize why we're not a movie podcast none of us knows anything about

[11:30]movies we all are just sitting here like what about matt matt oh yeah like we know a lot like like we know a lot about music i would say i know more about didn't stop us from starting a music podcast i i personally can't watch or i just it just i fall asleep in the movie theaters if it's anything with a comic book hero superhero something like that like all of the x-men stuff and what's the latest one that's going on avengers oh i mean it's they've got some great like action

[12:01]scenes but like trying to follow the storylines and who's and where and i will say though that going to those movies is hilarious and fun at the same time because there's always that role of guys and it's usually four guys in their early 40s who have nothing better to do on a tuesday night but go to a xbox or you know avengers movie and there's two guys i will scratch out my plans for tomorrow night but okay we're gonna i'm gonna take a rain check as well russell that's that's on me but there's but they know everything right and so there'll be some

[12:30]obscure like reference to like black panther or something right and like uh i don't know what's another x-men character okay so first of all these are avengers these aren't x-men it's totally it's avengers so like black widow so like black widow all of a sudden it'll be a black panther oh my god did you see that you know they're going nuts because they're getting some hidden reference that you know the the movie makers so i don't know i think it's hilarious to go to those meanwhile you're prying milk duds out of your molars for like 45 minutes right oh no no that's the best

[13:00]part about those those things hang around for a while you just let those things hang let them marinate in there for a little bit and get some cavities filled the next day i have told i have told everybody on this podcast i'm dumb i have told everybody on this podcast i'm dumb i have told a small brain i'm a dumb guy i just don't know it because my brain is so small i can't comprehend how dumb i am that's a real thing my milk duds comment has gotten me so much hate in real life i had somebody sit down with me the other day for five minutes to be like are you serious they think i'm joking about milk duds milk duds are not good they're like it's caramel and it's chocolate i'm

[13:30]like yeah and it sucks the texture sucks the two best things put together i think number one is chocolate and peanut butter in the form of like a reese's peanut butter cup something yeah obviously chocolate and caramel is a close second yeah one a and one b so guess what have a caramello where the caramel is actually the way it should be in a nice uh really greasy you can't eat a caramello without the without the caramel coming out sticking to the paper sticking to your lips that's the beauty of it you try to wipe it off and it rolls up into some kind of weird

[14:00]yes milk duds totally not sticky i mean if you want the absolute liquid caramel you go with caramello if you want something a little bit maybe a little bit uh more congealed you go with the rollo if you want that you know if you want that caramel that's you know it's going to be stuck to your teeth for a long time you go with the milk duds all chocolate all caramel it's just a little bit of flavor a little variation on it so i will say this i'm a sucker for the caramel corn when i get the three tin of popcorn that caramel corn gone no cheese gone butter goes in the garbage don't

[14:32]need it who cares i like matt's comments about with the 40 the row of 40 year old guys at the movies reminds me of times when i'd be at a dive bar and be like wow these people are going to be sure are here pretty often at this dive bar and now you're one of them yeah like well you're there to watch them and you're there yeah you're there just enough times to realize that those people it's like it's like you know how they say one out of every three people are cheating right and you're like i don't know if it's my wife or my girlfriend but one of them is not doing something

[15:02]that's supposed to be i might have tooth problems though that might be it because you know what one of my favorite candy bars is what a three musketeers i think i just like sour foods i just like goo i like eating goo food and you can just gum it i do i like a three musketeers and i know that's an unpopular opinion okay you just chew that with your tongue in the roof of your mouth like i love it use my teeth on this oh my god i love food where i really don't have to use my teeth that's why i think i love ice cream so much i've sent you guys like four pictures of

[15:31]ice cream in the last one butterscotch pudding three musketeers and oatmeal that's it that's what rob likes my pictures that i've sent to these guys the last couple of weeks have been me eating ice cream just pictures of ice cream nothing special just ice cream in a bowl and then a picture of me holding a chef knife to my crotch to emulate what it must like to be air how did you feel when you when you held that chef knife down there did you feel any differently i just felt such power i felt so i felt like such a man it was unbelievable like my life i'm convinced my life would be so much different if i had a huge dong i just know i

[16:05]would be more confident i'd be more like i would never have been like oh let's uh let's make out but like let's just take our shirts off and like that's it and nothing else like oh that'd be rosie do you think your life's different i mean do you think your life's like better in any way because of that you gotta at least start with the shirts off like i mean you maybe gotta go more than that but i mean it's like you don't want to leave them on i don't know you're on the right track no i i when i was with somebody like getting naked me getting naked was like date 10 i was like

[16:35]okay let's let's maybe do the thing where i'm eating sushi off you or whatever okay that's not okay i just ruined this conversation let's get it rolling great i'm stuck on the podcast now with the guy with the two big wings uh all right rolling going aaron rolling going how is it going with you tonight

[17:03]man it's rolling going really well i got a bunch of stuff so i'm gonna just i'm gonna just i'm gonna i'm gonna steal matt's idea i'm gonna do the list the first thing i have to do is i have to issue a beck did it better i have to issue an apology uh at the end of last week's episode when rob mentioned what album we're talking about this week i believe that i said that bernard purdy plays on lady soul i was incorrect he plays on now an apology young gifted and black so i we're not gonna hear from bernard purdy tonight we are gonna hear some good

[17:32]playing apologies to everyone so that was a mistake yeah on my part aaron you're what okay to say this right now strike one yep okay fair that's fair i deserve that that's fair out of all the things you've out of all the things you've done on this podcast and that apology your dad had to be thinking here it comes here comes my apology and then you're like no i got something music wrong i don't want to get it wrong i mean you know it's like you want it's like it's like if you try to make a joke every 90 seconds on this podcast and then you didn't quite make some

[18:03]of them right like if i try to say something smart about music and i say it wrong i gotta i gotta own up to it so and sometimes you say things that are really offensive and you just have to edit them out and then nobody knows except for your co-hosts who often look at you with abject terror in their eyes that what you said is going to go public uh but i gotta you know it's end of it's the end of 2021 although i know this will be released in june of 2022 or so but uh i've been taking stock of things i did in 2021 one thing i did was finally finish a book that i started that i

[18:33]purchased at the beginning of the pandemic in march of 2020 clifford finally finished finally finished how to lie about my giant dong i finally finished dead astronauts by jeff vandermeer and this was a piece of art that was like you had to really work for it to enjoy it and i didn't it's one of those things where i didn't enjoy it until about the last 50 pages because i didn't figure out how to read it so now i have to read it again so shout out to art that makes you work for it what's a piece of art or something

[19:00]that that you guys had to work for to enjoy that then then you you felt was rewarding and what's something that you just wouldn't work for that when i went to see the van gogh experience the the i did get to sit on the bench but the bench was not very comfortable so i had to like like there was no back on the bench so i had to like sit in an uncomfortable position and act like i was really enjoying it when really the whole time i was just like man i wish i had a chair with a back yeah that's fair that's rough i honestly think jazz is something like that like i'm not a huge

[19:30]jazz guy but when you learn about jazz and you put some time into actually learning what's going on and what they're going for and what the different types are i think it's just so much more rewarding uh when you actually have an idea of like oh like just just me knowing for example the difference between bebop and modalities and like more of the freestyle stuff like i that just has made it much more interesting to me when i'm just listening to it on my own i you know and part and like i said i think when we started with jazz is like why listen to this to feel smart but now i actually kind of feel a little bit smart about it i get i just enjoy it so much more but i'm you

[20:02]know i'm a smart guy so it's beautiful i would also say theoretical physics too but that's like second so i don't know i mean there's there's a number of these that always come up right like you always wonder why uh why something's in the louvre right in paris like what makes it lou worthy and you know so i still have no idea on some of it and i wish i could know a lot more about i mean there's only so many hours in the day i'd rather listen to music than read about painters i guess kind of a thing but um you know when you're there you're like how or why is this important and

[20:35]things like that so every i mean i've been to the louvre twice oh i'm glad you're there yeah hopefully go back a number of times because i think it's just well one i love paris but i'm going there it's just it's awesome to see the different um eras i guess and you know again what what does somebody think is art same thing as music why did why is it on the top 500 albums list of all time right that kind of a thing and so i don't know we're kind of diving into some of

[21:02]that here with this venture we're on and i think we all are a little bit better because of it but you know the the art world that's that's our next podcast that's great that's great oh yeah and obviously we're the kind of art that people have to work to appreciate so i like that that exactly ties back to the kind of art that we're producing for the world yeah if if you're wondering just i'll just say fucking beach boys and then the real players know why that's fun that's it yeah and then i got a quick lego update fuck legos yeah they've taken over i can't stop stepping on them these creations all

[21:37]all over the damn house boundaries yeah you gotta set some boundaries son is so into them that he won't take a break even though he's mad and can't focus anymore and he's like no i'm gonna build this landspeeder and we're like why else need to break uh he's also we're we're a very firm you know no toy gun household yeah we did get some star wars lego sets that have blasters still about age six i figured out rosie okay we're on the same yeah we're on the same trajectory but that's about

[22:03]six yeah so we're trying i'm glad to hear math that you were you were uh i mean i'm always going to matt for advice on all this stuff but he has figured out that he can say like oh mom that like this is a blaster in my star wars set but this blaster shoots love this is a love i use that my sophomore year of college i know exactly what he's going for yeah right it's a great line yeah i was gonna say that's not the first time aaron's wife has heard that pickup line right aaron i was

[22:31]trying to set rob up for the soundbite this one's a love blaster oh okay uh give me that nut oh wait wrong one that's my bad that's what i'm gonna start calling my penis the love blaster so that's it i got it now or it could be or it could be like kind of like a like a uh okay now i get to go to bed blaster that's what i'm gonna start you know what i mean it's like okay just kind of like a i'm kind of medium about it like it's that's what i'm gonna start calling my penis i put up with that because i know the fight's gonna be bigger if we don't use the love blaster that's

[23:02]what i'm gonna start calling my penis have you gotten uh sets rosie are we just doing straight up blocks yeah i know we got things we got a bunch of sets yeah we got i currently have let's see i think i've got 15 of these sets to take apart i'm taking these sons of bitches apart what's putting them you know and putting them in the mail putting in bags and then reselling them oh there's nothing better than buy it send it to me and then there we probably have 15 of this uh hidden sides thing

[23:30]and about 10 harry potter and we got a couple new harry potters for christmas things like that but save the box to save the books rosie because there'll be some point where you like gotta get these things out of here and it'll feel so you'll feel so much better that if you're like hey i got a complete set somebody else will take it as opposed to just throwing it throwing it into one big bin and being like well that was a huge waste of fifteen thousand dollars but yeah thanks for selling me this kit on craigslist can i see why it says love blaster real big on the outside like that doesn't

[24:02]make a ton of sense to me love blaster you gotta tell them to start saying they're tranquilizer darts that's what they do in the movie just say they're tranquilizer birds yes it's probably better yeah also i think your penis looks bigger because you have a small house i didn't know where to put that in but i'm just gonna stick that in right now i feel like it's kind of like having small balls you know it's like it's like trimming your pubic hair like straight i was trying to seed the floor to someone i thought my rolling oh my god you're doing it standing up too we know that's a young

[24:34]man's game seeding the floor girls disgusting that's when you know you're having a rough day is when you're seeding the floor i'll just deal with that later i'm so sleepy uh all right matt rolling going how's it going with you uh good good i've got a social situation that i need to ask you guys your opinion the advice corner sounds like you need to go to the corner well i don't know if it's i don't know if it's that but like nope i already hit it russell's i don't get social advice yeah corner i don't get

[25:06]too worried about it i don't get too worried about it i don't get too worried about it too many things right like somebody doesn't like my shoes or you know like what i'm wearing whatever i feel comfortable right but every time somebody says do you want a piece of gum i feel like i've been walking around with the worst breath in the world the last hour i mean is that true like woods if you have a if you have a pack of gum in your pocket okay would you do you just randomly offer

[25:31]it to people just out of the goodness of your heart or do you only offering a piece of gum to somebody when you know they've got bad breath it's got to be random because my wife offers me gum all the time so it's got to be just be a thing where you're just being nice it's got to be i don't know i'm not a gum guy i've never i don't carry around gum in my pocket is that because your breath smells like mulch oh erin erin erin do we need to have your wife like pull you out of this one tonight you're you're yeah erin come on he's got mulch around the tiny house with the love blaster

[26:02]but and then do you ever let anybody know that they've got bad breath i never let anybody know like no there's never what is to be gained by doing no nothing i would only offer gum to someone who has nice smelling breath if someone were near me and they had bad breath i would never offer them gum i would not want to but are you how often do you smell somebody's breath like in a week never i mean do you ever smell anybody's breath like i barely even smell anymore but like there i mean there was there was a guy i used to work with had horrible breath right there's a buddy of mine horrible breath i know he's got horrible every time i

[26:33]hang out with him he's got horrible but not one of you three somebody from richfield's don't worry about it you know things like that like there are people who have issues right i don't think i got issues but again every time i it's like i go into this clam and then i stop talking to people like this you know instead of you know things like that and like the mask thing i think this helped a whole bunch of people but i don't know that's that's like the one social situation where somebody's like would you like a piece of gum i'm like i i always i tell my kids it's the

[27:02]four second rule right if a person can't fix it in four seconds don't tell them about it they don't need to know like if they can't fix it right then you're not helping them by telling them what's going on rob does that mean jenny has told you that you can fix your love life because you're able to do it in under four seconds yeah no trust me i made the joke before but i would love to do it under four seconds okay sometimes maybe under four seconds would be better than like 45 minutes when everybody actually really gets mad and then you have to have a real conversation about stuff so uh no i i think i don't know i i no i man if somebody's offering you gum i wouldn't worry i'm

[27:35]gonna say this the masks have made me realize that i'm a fucking monster like everything i do i'm a terrible person my mask smelled terrible i burped once i almost barfed when i burped in my mask it was terrible i was like what is this is this me is this what i'm like like it's awful i so how often do you wash these masks rob i just have a lot of masks i just did what i just keep buying i did what i do to solve so many problems is i just i just

[28:02]bought a ton of masks actually i do have the problem though with shoes like for a long time my shoes smell terrible i have terrible smelling feet you can wash yeah but i just bought a ton of shoes i have like eight pairs of shoes that i rotate and i also found i need to be very specific about the kind of socks i buy but it's like you know it's just something you deal with as an adult and you got to kind of figure out and guess what sometimes you put on the wrong socks and sometimes your breath is going to sink stink you come over sometime man i'll smell your breath i'll get way in there i'll tell you all right i'll be honest with you well i'll i will see you in about three

[28:31]weeks this is not an open i'll see you at the link and we will you know how i was always talking is that you lick the back of your hand and you smell it yeah okay yeah yeah oh christ oh god oh god mistake huge mistake then you're good mine smells like somehow it's friendly with you man coffee and old cereal i don't know when people offer you to the gum are they giving gum to themselves as well or is they just offering it they are just i think they're just being nice

[29:04]that if they're if they're taking it but it but yeah but then it's like it's even worse when it's like in a work situation right like if you're you know it's not just like hey hanging out at the sports page watching go for football you know hey have some gum kind of a thing right it's like 7 p.m central magic mike sports page do you think man what if you just started smoking cigarettes like maybe just go all the way like just cover it all the way up smoke some marble reds i mean who cares anymore

[29:30]right those are my favorite you know i don't i only know a couple people who smoke cigarettes you know and usually i don't know a couple people who smoke cigarettes you know and usually i don't it's when we're in vegas january 14th at the lake you know some people just have problems i mean it's like it's like they just go nuts all of a sudden you know and sometimes those people they start to smell a little different maybe bad breath would be okay compared to the smoke smell that they've got on them i don't know yeah some people when they're when they start smoking like that too they realize right away how uh off-putting it is because you instantly have to stand way away

[30:02]from everybody and now the people you're hanging out with are the exact opposite of people that you actually want to be hanging with and they realize almost instantly it was a mistake but suddenly they're hooked after one or two and they actually can't stop or it makes them feel bad so something to think about man have you ever thought too the person who's probably giving you gum is probably someone who has bad breath themselves like they're they're aware of what the problem they have i think they just don't want to be rude by having one on their own smelling bad is like a top three fear right though like i don't know i always thought maybe it's just me as a big guy

[30:31]but like i think smelling bad is an all-time fear right it's like smelling bad uh your balls coming out when you're teaching uh social situations in general just like yeah just like being around yeah other humans russ finding out about our text chain stuff like that i mean it's scary stuff what oh nothing never mind uh russ uh uh where am i russ uh your your wife coming in during the podcast and reminding you that no one has taken the garbage bins down

[31:00]yet and you trying to frantically say i'll take them down after the podcast and her saying no no i'll take them down right i mean just just riffing here maybe that's a ever smell your breath and see what's going on by the way please focus on the podcast don't ever get distracted like that again um so russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going things are going good as aaron said it's december 27th at 10 10 p.m right now i know it's important that we save the time and the date but we're going to

[31:30]be past it but new year's is coming up and i thought i would stay in matt's advice corner and get some dating advice from you guys here we are experts you want to know the best dating advice advice stay fucking home on yes do not go out do not go out i think the order of pizza go to bed at 10 o'clock ever tell you about the time i went out on new year's and i went to somebody's house and it was and we had like a one-year-old and it just sucked we it was that time when you have a kid and you're still like oh we're cool we can go out and do stuff yeah so then um so then we we get out we get into the car

[32:03]we're driving jenny's in the back seat with the baby and we're like oh we're cool we can go out i stop at an intersection uh in downtown minneapolis and somebody just gets in my car because they think it's an uber they just get in no so i immediately go like super uber dad mode like protective like silverback and i go get the fuck out of my car and i'll never forget the guy looks at me and goes oh sorry man geez chill out and i was like yeah i should have actually chilled out a little bit like it's not his fault he's loaded in fact i you know what i'd probably do

[32:32]now i'd be like hey bro you're right where are we going let's give him a ride home let's give him a let's give an uber home let's do it cash only here yeah and then he would pull out a knife and stab me and be like it was a double trick stabbing oh not again not again yeah he'd stab me in my pants and be like oh god you have a small cock i'd be like oh this is the a knife and i'm humiliated jokes on you you missed uh okay russell that was a great role going well i don't know if i've got

[33:01]much else but i think the last time i asked you guys for advice like this it was on valentine's day and matt too told me to take the girl to to white castle yeah and now i'm single again so so i figured i better get better advice this time around for new year's eve what what's the what's the what's the fun date to do on new year's eve do you do you dare going out do you go to like one of the like the nice restaurants or do you do the thing where you pay the big cover or what do you do on new year's eve if you're gonna do something fun for a date a surprise to no one that i'm gonna suggest a dive bar which i think i also suggested for valentine's day so you might want to listen to matt or rob on

[33:34]this one say either like an early dinner if you can get a reservation right like an early like a five o'clock six o'clock dinner you know maybe a drink out somewhere else but then literally home by nine o'clock there is nothing nothing to be gained nothing no i'm just saying like all of that money that you would spend on bottle service and then you know having to the next day retract the purchase on your credit card things like that things like that that's why i didn't pay the bill

[34:02]okay but like going out and like i mean the hype again we've talked about i've talked about this a number of times new year's and then uh halloween any of these things the hype is so much greater than what actually happens at those things at least in my experience so if it's me russell i'm gonna have either the best meal i can have at some fancy restaurant or go to a dive bar and just hang out and watch all the other foot freaks around you know getting just hammered and then you make it home safely about nine ten o'clock

[34:32]and just have we're getting too old my friend we're getting too old to be spending to be an up past midnight all the time things like that so that's that seems like a mean old daddy answer that sounds a little mean old daddy ish to me i'm with him on it rob what about you i bet rob's still a guy who will go out occasionally on a new year's listen new year's eve is the greatest night to stay in there is nothing better to do in new year's eve you know me we've talked about before i've got four words for you russell homemade charcuterie board get yourself a homemade

[35:01]yeah board go out go to whole foods buy some whack ass cheeses you don't even think just say to yourself what would aaron put on the charcuterie board and just do that right like just send you a picture we made one they don't sell hey they don't sell dandelion greens up here in many many do they have a cheese that cost lawnmowers in for the winter i don't know if i could get anything for them i bet you they got them at the wedge i did i actually got an actual dandelion bloom in one of my dandelion greens uh about two weeks ago for the first time ever christ i bet you they got it at the wedge co-op though it's a feature it's a feature

[35:32]not a bug folks uh except there was actually a bug in there too along with the uh with the bud well that's so here's the thing the bugs are still alive yeah aaron's like look at this kind bud i got it's like a dandelion greens like what a bummer isn't there some sort of worry though if you're if you're dating someone and you're like hey we just need to stay in that it makes you seem old it makes you seem not fun you are old you are old update you are old as hell you are old and i'm gonna tell you what you know what you know what old people can do they can go down and buy a fucking fifty dollar wheel of cheese go out and see go out and find a piece of cheese

[36:04]that seems so expensive yes okay that you'd be like who the fuck would buy that cheese you buy that cheese right yes go to a guy that just buy an eighty dollar steak and then cook it yourself you know it's gonna be awesome hundred dollar champagne do it buy meats only from other countries get spanish hams put them on there okay and pretty soon she'll be putting her spanish hams all over you you are pepperoni sausages hey baby i got these canadian bacons they're specialty meats i'm telling you put some bangers

[37:04]love watching mariah carey make an absolute fucking fool out of herself it's my favorite it's one of my favorite holidays you gotta be home for it okay going out sucks and at 12 when all the hype's over you are home you're already home you're not having to worry about getting a text and you got some extra champagne and charcuterie me up man i thought your dad asked nicely where do you think where do you think i where do you think all of this uh mean old daddy stuff is coming from i learned from him so he's got the teeth in the glass by 8 30 go buy a cutting board for 100 bucks

[37:35]spend 50 bucks on some cheese and buy some meat from europe you are going to be set russell i am telling you it's the perfect new year's eve we got to get out are you guys ready what aaron you what are you gonna say that was rough are you guys ready for the bleep joke bleep joke of the week yes let's hear that bleep joke of the bleep joke of the week here comes maybe and come pick you up oh jesus it's uh-oh is rob's is rob's biggest fear coming true no it's not a fear it's actually quite fine

[38:05]okay it's not a big deal to me oh sweetie did i take the garbage out earlier damn right i did thought about it anyway uh she did it was too fast to step in and do anything but i actually thought about doing it so all right let's get into oh i gotta do my rolling going still how's it rolling with rob so it was my daughter's 13th birthday party i now am official dad of a teenager oh wow uh no not at all she is she was cranky a couple days ago and she was cranky today so things are

[38:35]always the same teenage girl right so yeah look out it is it is 100 the same but we did do the thing where we basically harassed her into telling her where do you want to go for your birthday then she'd say like i want to go to a movie and we'd be like no we're not gonna do that what do you want to do for your birthday she finally fell on to going to a trampoline park so i actually after last week we actually went to the trampoline park this week now i did the really cool thing where i wore a really loose pair of jeans so when it look at me when you see slow motion videos of me jumping

[39:04]it does look like i've taken a giant shit in my pants and every video that you watch and my bald spot is magnified but i will say when i got out on the trampoline i was kind of like i'm an athlete i'm like a super athlete and i used to be really good at trampolining like i had a trampoline in my backyard i could do a flip it was no big deal like i and guess what i am still fucking good at trampolining like sure did i land once on my wrist and i thought maybe i broke yes the first time i landed on my butt sitting down did i feel like maybe something had like

[39:33]dislocated itself yes did i jump for about two minutes and then was so tired right that i thought i was gonna pass out absolutely but guess what i am still a god at trampolining now this trampoline park had a couple things okay number one it had the what i want to put if i had a million dollars this is what i would put in my house a trampoline with a basketball hoop at the end i was throwing down dunks that looked okay in regular speed but then when you know i'm in slow motion i don't like to interrupt your

[40:03]rolling gun because i know that you wouldn't do that to me but i don't like to interrupt but you sent us some videos of these dunks and they were sick man you you stepped up you threw down some sick dunks major props 41 years old and i sent a video of me dunking on a trampoline to three guys and i got in reply high compliments probably the greatest compliments i've ever gotten so mad and so happy for you at the same time oh it was great then i also did a flip into the ball pit not a big deal but the problem is it was a foam pit right

[40:34]and it turns out i think growing up i always thought quicksand was going to be a big deal right it's in all these movies it's in all these shows yeah it's a classic bit of like oh there's not really quicksand like but there is quicksand and it's a foam pit when you're a big fat guy because the more i got into the foam pit right and so i would sink and then i would struggle and i would sink farther and farther and i did have a moment of panic of like what the fuck am i going to do because then i would like slowly lay flat i tried to lay flat

[41:03]and i would get to the edge and then the edge because i'm pushing the foam down so far the edge is like three feet above my body so i'm like well how do i get out of this foam pit there's no ladder there's no steps there's no nothing i had to do like the classic fat guy get out of the pool where you like barely pull your body up and then get onto it and then roll over and like get out of the well that's the infamous that's the infamous darren from kennedy beached whale move on the side of the pool have you ever seen that move or he just rolled he rolls in right he lays

[41:34]goes and lays on the side of a pool on his stomach and kind of wiggles around like he's he's beached and then he waits for someone to come push him back into the water that was like me but it was getting out of the foam pit and the worst part was is when my feet sank to the bottom of the foam pit it was wet there was wetness down at the bottom of the foam pit ah i don't want to think about it it's like when i sat in a movie theater in new york city and i just sat in a wet seat and i go ah that's the worst somebody must have spilled their drink

[42:03]that's the only explanation oh well moving on with my day not thinking about how my wet pants are probably some other guy's urine well i told my wife that's how she got chlamydia actually so that was part of our business that we came up with the other day uh is that so i did see it in a pee seat that's how she got chlamydia but i was happy to see that there was no weight limit at the trampoline park i was a little worried about that but there was none so i could dunk away to my heart's content my only regret is i did not grab under the hoop and uh do my legs up or like stick

[42:31]my arm through vince carter like that was my only regret so aaron what's your beef with me my beef is that this i told you last week that my dream is to have a trampoline again and then all of a sudden rob just goes out and lives my dream and is sending me pictures of it like no big deal like i wouldn't be jealous or you know feel a lot of fomo that he's out there dunking on a trampoline my question though i saw these videos they looked amazing rent out the space there was no one else there did you have to rent it no no there were other people there but they would not jump next to me when i was jumping it was a full-blown it was a

[43:03]full-blown trampoline park we were in there other people were in there but uh i made everybody get out of my shot when i was the parents at the trampoline park are pointing at you and saying that's the type of guy who leaves wet stuff at the bottom of the yeah the trampoline park has got it figured out though because the water there you can buy it by the bottle you know it's like five bucks a bottle or whatever and then they've got you know they know that you buy after like five minutes jumping you're like i need water i'm so thirsty and then of course they got like three crane games and it's a whole

[43:35]rob was there a weight limit where people are prohibited from joining the thing or were you just worried that there could be one there was not i i i didn't look but nobody said anything to me so i was like oh this is great and sure enough when i got on the trampolines it turns out for once my weight made me a better trampoline i was flying god i was just like as light as air then i got slightly sweaty and i realized maybe i didn't put deodorant on that day so back to the fear about smelling bad what can you do nobody's perfect unfortunately my daughter the crane game

[44:02]i i did not win anything so my daughter did not get a birthday present that day it was a real all right did the dog get one let's talk about the album oh yeah that fifty dollars you spent on the crane game would have really gone far on oh my god you could have bought some real nice couple i tell my kids they want to do the crane game all the time and crane games do you know what they call it crane game cost now do you know what this crane game costs per play well it depends is it an automatic winner one because some of them you win every time right is it a duck machine because this was the giant

[44:33]ducks or the giant like rubber things that i mean it's all shit right like how much does that stop how much does that cost like 13 cents yeah per thing it's a dollar per grab okay and i've got two kids right and of course one of them had they both have to play so that's two dollars and i tell them all the time you're not gonna win you're not gonna win you're not gonna win sure enough every time they play i didn't win but that's like i told you this is like life it you spend money and it sucks you

[45:01]don't get what you want congratulations it's terrible life is shit aaron your kid loved the crane game you ever do crane game or does your kid even know what that is he only knows about it from reading his toy story graphic novel so we've not done the crane game otherwise but in toy story it's the claw so he's not seen one in real life he's gonna flip his lid when he does oh totally his thing now is pinball there are pinball machines at the ice skating rink so he's just like we went back to the ice skating rink and he's like oh my god i didn't win today he's crazy for the pinball classic move he's he might be a future fat guy here and you better look i'm going to the ice skating rink and just playing video games oh that sounds a lot like

[45:33]my childhood leo and eddie leo and eddie and i've got it down so like leo eddie eddie's the one who's working the stick right i'm i'm the one in the left and right facing it leo goes to the side of the machine he's the front and back guy oh so we've got we've got we've got a yeah three-man team and we you know we do pretty darn good at the old green game so i i am a i'm a i'm a i'm a this is where i'm a great uncle again i lie to my nieces and nephews and i always say the crane game is broken i'm like it's out of it's out of order if you and then i'll point at like the like

[46:03]the instructions and i'll say it see it says it's out of order i did have fun i did have fun i will say hanging out with my uh niece and nephew this weekend because all of my jokes are good again my kids hate all my jokes they think it's the worst my niece and nephew i don't know if they thought they were good but i got to tell them and i got a reaction like we pull up to the trampoline place i go oh it's closed and they're so sad they're like crying sad i'm like i'm just kidding it's open now is that a joke just lying about something

[46:34]i don't know but it's it's what i got all right did you tell them the joke about the gray pubes or whatever that one was from a few weeks ago dusting the broom is that what we call yeah they didn't think that was funny they actually that was a lot more questions than answers with that what is uh okay so let's talk about lady soul and we definitely remember what year it was released we don't need to go back if you're wondering just push the back button about 30 times and you'll be able to hear it 1968 from 1968 uh

[47:03]this is aretha's 14th album and this was actually released a year after uh i never loved the man away i loved you but it's not her next album like she released a couple albums in between there it's wild to think we you've talked about this before man how they're just like put out albums to make money and these artists were just putting out album after album after album you sing we'll put it out yeah yeah although with the is it easier for her to put out albums because she's doing so many covers you know what i mean like she's just taking hit songs already and re-singing them like i don't know it's there's

[47:33]there was a lot of covers on this album right am i crazy you are but not because of that yes there are a lot of covers james brown curtis mayfield i'm looking at a few of them i don't know when you have a voice like aretha though you're just like okay well let's let's pick a song and arrange it and i'm gonna make it a hit and if you're writing songs you want somebody like aretha singing your song right yeah in theory yeah this is definitely a product of the the music and label machine of the time right like let's get aretha with a great band to sing

[48:01]a bunch of great songs and that's an album you can cut in a day or i don't maybe it was longer than that but you can cut that quick get it out people will buy it because it's aretha singing great songs but the big news is this album was recorded down at muscle shoals once again right and so we we talked about how last time she recorded two songs on there for i never loved the man away i loved you and then her manager punched a trumpet player in the face and they immediately had to leave and go record somewhere else but this along with that album this was the other album of hers that went to number two on the billboard 200 the three hit singles off this album

[48:32]you make me feel like a natural woman chain of fools uh and since you've been gone ain't no way which is the last song on this album which actually turned higher than chain of fools it was a higher charting kelly clarkson saying that song which i couldn't believe that's who's saying that did you been gone that i'm telling you what a banger like american idol a while there they were nailing it like kelly clarkson is a legit star not as good as party in the usa though or what was the one that rosie n heard wrecking ball still haven't heard it yeah but i did watch

[49:03]very merry christmas twice this year with miley cyrus singing silent night now am i a bigger justin gularney fan yes i am okay check out from kelly to justin with love okay justin guarini guys we're we're less than six degrees of separation from justin guarini no the aforementioned grammy winning adam lupke who we went to college with went to high school with justin guarini so that's it we're three degrees of separation from american idol right

[49:32]there sounds like two would it be hard for us to get justin guarini on this podcast i'm gonna say absolutely not okay i think we could do it i think we could do it there's a hundred percent we're also three degrees away from anyone who will ever listen to this podcast to get after fair that's fair we're also one degree away from ruben stuttered because some of us look a lot like ruben stuttered i'm sorry for 2004 oh my god i'm so i realize how old i am when i realize the song is i'm sorry for 2004 rob what's your third sentence oh my god

[50:03]uh that was it i don't have any more i mean there isn't i'll hear it i'll tell you right now there is uh some people might say maybe driving up through a snowstorm up north maybe took some of my research time away but i'm not gonna say that at all all right let's get into ladies soul great chain of fools slam and start to an album huh yeah it's hard to beat i mean never loved a man starts with

[50:33]respect right so that's hard to beat but this is close i i think the whole time i was listening to this i was like do i like this album more than the other one we listened to and i think i do i think obviously respect is a i think is a great bigger song than these but this has some real hits on it just the bass i the bass and the grooves on this album i thought were so strong because listen aretha nobody's voice is better like we can just accept that it's it's great i just so funky aaron did you know that this song was originally written for otis redding

[51:06]no i did not did he but he never recorded it did he no i don't think so it was written for otis redding and then they ended up giving it to jerry wexler instead and then he gave it to aretha so otis never recorded it i don't think but what would you think of i would have loved to hear otis sing it and that's fun because i you know as we talked about on never loved a man he wrote respect and then aretha stole his song and he knew it like he knew she did it better than him i would have loved to say to hear otis sing chain of fools he could

[51:32]have done he could have done it right i i think oh i i the one thing with this album though is i wish that we could get an album that sounded as good as like a kanye album or as like uh yeah what's the deal with the sound it's muddy i don't i don't i don't love the recording quality it's swampy it's groovy it's funky but it's not it does sound like she's kind of like in a room next door no you're right yeah the the grooves are good but like if you hear it like it sounds like the the mic couldn't deal with

[52:05]her voice so maybe that's true i don't know but really i mean the whole muscle shoals thing is all about the backing musicians right i mean that they were so good and they were you know like nobody i don't think anybody's ever said wow what a great studio you know uh there's great recording equipment things like that it's always about the band the band that's backing you know that that's the muscle shoals sound and everything so all right yeah i mean you look in studio b and there's the almond brothers okay and they're cranking out their biggest hits of all time it's

[52:31]all great they used they used a lot of water for those almond brothers to make those almonds like a lot of water at the expense of the salmon think of the salmon in the delta how are you going to put locks on your shark or tree board i i'll tell you what i was thinking of the salmon aaron aaron i was thinking of the salmon i switched to lactose-free milk when i was down visiting my sister there you go a disaster okay it was a disaster when you were visiting someone else two weeks in a row and your tummy is upset like terrible very rude and i blamed aaron 100 of the

[53:01]time i said aaron didn't take out the trash today he also screwed me over in this almond milk thing he's not having a great week and then i remember the chef knife and i was like he's actually having the greatest life of all time i'm incredibly jealous all right money won't change you you yeah the band's just on fire on this one too right james brown song right yeah that's right that's where i've heard this do you guys think if we started making money on this podcast it would change us or not

[53:32]yeah hell yeah it would change me change aaron for sure you think so yeah i would have two cars no i'd still only have one car but it'd be nicer i was picturing myself in a giant beck did a better cape that i would walk around with and thinking if money would change me like i'm wearing the hat i'm pulling up in the limo to the recordings you know no like i almost i really thought hard about buying a volvo the other day and then i was like no that's too much that's too much money i would buy that volvo if we made a bunch of money on this podcast oh my god aaron well you're never

[54:04]gonna get to buy that volvo aaron even aaron's dreams are the most boring thing i've ever heard of in my entire life okay honey honey you won't can't wait to hear this yeah i was driving a volvo last night and i was like going 55 in a 55 plus you know i respect my wife too much to buy a volvo i mean it's right it's a plug-in but it's like it's a plug-in hybrid it's like it's such great technology and like i like that joke yeah my kid walked by when i said it too but guess what

[54:32]i still did it because i love the podcast so much so the volvo is a plug-in huh it's a plug-in yeah it's interesting what color all right i think what other color would it be get ready and of course the whole time i'm listening to this i'm thinking about bob marley right it's a cursed influence on the impressions she sings the hell out of this thing this is like the definition of wailing isn't it this is just yes destroying very wailing yeah very wailing

[55:02]yeah it's the second best wailing i know after jenny's you guys were getting ready for this song i was getting ready to have a cocktail on this album can i share a cocktail with you guys people get ready to laugh at what russell has put into this cocktail russell tell us about your aretha franklin lady soul cocktail rob this one is a classic you may need to get the the james brown the horns ready the horns are gonna have to be playing on this one okay it doesn't start

[55:31]with a bun you're about to find out okay so this one is from the book booze and vinyl but it was actually for i never loved a man so it was for the other album but this that i mean that's been more than a year since we covered that right it's been a long time ago it was in the top 10 yeah are you serious it was in the new in the new top 10 that makes me think about reuben stuttered again but so i went so i went to the book and booze and vinyl and on the first on saturday and i think this still applies for aretha i'm drinking tonight it's called an ice

[56:01]cream flip it is sweet and fruity the drink is smooth and velvety just like aretha's singing all right so i'm gonna tell you guys have you ever heard of an ice cream flip rob you're an ice cream guy you gotta like and he's a flipper and he does flips i was trapped when i was at the trampoline place i did an ice cream flip like three times it's not a big deal to me okay that's when you're on a trampoline and you're eating an ice cream cone and the workers are trying to stop you but guess what they can't catch you because you're bouncing around all over the place it's like a gummy bear all right first up in the in the recipe one ounce of brandy half an ounce of

[56:34]orange curacao half an ounce of maraschino liqueur no don't have that one egg no okay wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute russell before you go i just want to see you guys thumbs up or thumbs down does russell actually have an egg i'm gonna go like this aaron what do you think man what do you think okay they said thumbs up i say thumbs down okay sorry russell one scoop of vanilla ice cream oh and and freshly grated nutmeg

[57:02]for garnish oh you combine them all into a blender mix them up and drink it okay stop right there because i know brandy alexander you don't have it does sound like a brandy alexander you do not have a blender i know that for a fact i don't have a blender no you don't but and i didn't have brandy either so i put my garbage 100 piggyback rye is what i decided to substitute all right well you know okay you know you not having brandy sounds a lot like looking glass because uh her man was

[57:34]in love with the sea brandy you're a fun girl karaoke classic by the way i did have orange curacao i didn't have maraschino liqueur but as we know that just means i subbed the juice out of it from the cherries right that actually works that's not even that's not even maraschino liqueur sounds so good that sounds good to me i kind of want to drink that right out of the bottle i mean it can't be better than the juice out of the cherry jar though right no never no you like it a juice for there was a distillery in oakland that had that made a cherry liqueur and they told us when we

[58:03]went to the tasting they were like we call this one the panty dropper and i didn't buy any like what was i thinking what were you doing i don't know i don't know you idiot yeah can you imagine giving that to somebody and be like do you feel like dropping those panties do you anytime anytime i've been checking out a used volvo for those of you guys a new one a new volvo aaron your dream was about a used one aaron's dreaming about like a volvo with 120 000 miles on it scratch and dent

[58:35]for those of you that believed i would put the egg in the drink you are correct i did put the full egg into the drinks up that was my thumbs up i'm an idiot unfortunately i didn't have vanilla ice cream and i went to the gas station and they were out of it too so i got strawberry ice cream so instead i'm doing a strawberry ice cream flip tonight and it's delicious that actually sounds good it's really good let me see you drink that rocky style oh yeah oh drinking that egg and the strawberry ice cream oh my god i love i love

[59:04]the idea that like well ice cream's not rich enough let's put a whole fucking egg in there like that's such a great drink oh it says the egg can be omitted but it makes this drink extra rich so your rigs that you're spot on aaron man i got i got i might have i have most of those ingredients i don't have to do it cherries but i got i got brandy and strawberry ice cream i'm gonna do it gotta say gotta say you go into a gas station to get ice cream totally normal the gas station not having vanilla fucked you gotta find a new gas station what are you doing with a gas station

[59:34]that is my buddy tutu still working at the sa and i don't know who was working tonight but i went in there and the ice this must be like a supply chain thing the ice cream was not strong at the super america by my house or the speedway or whatever it's called yeah and so i was looking and i was like well i could go with strawberry and that seems kind of like in line with the fruity drink with the orange curacao and the the maraschino and whatnot or i could have gone with like chocolate chip ice cream but i figured chocolate's gonna throw this all off right you

[60:03]totally totally so i figured if there was no vanilla strawberry was the best way to go that's right yeah i love it the question is russell are you going to throw away that strawberry ice cream or are you going to wait a couple months and then throw the strawberry ice cream away what are you going to do with that strawberry ice cream i'm gonna three days the moment the moment you guys go jump off the zoom i am eating that shit oh my god sit down to eat a bowl of strawberry ice cream gross what matt what you got no fruit and dessert get out of here i love ice cream are you dropping

[60:32]are you dropping us out of the russell drink corner no we're going oh no i was just gonna play the thing because i thought that was such a great yeah i mean guys that's almost an irish eye a strawberry flip but without brandy with no maraschino liqueur also i did not have nutmeg for garnish so i would have guessed that i would have given rob how do you make nutmeg rob how do you make rob would tell me how to make my homemade nutmeg well i can tell you they're selling it by

[61:02]the gram after i was at the trampoline park shave those things off what what what did you use instead of a blender again russell i actually i just let the ice cream melt a little bit and then i put it in my shaker and i kind of stirred it up and then i shaked it all up and it melted oh my god i love the idea that you guys were going to be disgusted by this but seems like you're all on board no yeah i'm on board all right i gotta i'm gonna bring back a a really old bit we haven't done in a very long time okay so for this song we got people get ready and i

[61:35]think it's it's kind of important to go through this the number of people that have covered this song yes all right just to understand you know so we've got bob marley and the whalers chamber brothers bob dylan rod stewart human nature vanilla fudge yes kenny rankin don't know who that is um ziggy marley seal oh yes that's seal oh yeah and then the one and only in 1985

[62:03]jeff beck covered this song oh so when it comes to covering people get ready yes who does it better beck did it better i hate rob i'm a giant i'm a giant beck fan i wondered if he is it better does giant beck do it better this is giant beck and i just wanted to say people get ready to be destroyed by me jeff beck

[62:37]giant jeff beck my favorite cover of people get ready is actually ava cassidy but she must not have made she was not amazed mass list my penis is the size of a chef's knife as well well i'm trying to think i'm trying to look through uh that was fantastic man i didn't even know the name of the podcast and he pulled the becks in it better than that i'm impressed well these other two guys russ aren't laughing at the giant thing because that episode they've never heard the giant neil

[63:02]young episode they don't know that i put the echo onto the voice and it makes it funny well i knew rob i knew i know you and i know what okay that was fantastic matt next up aaron what is it i can pronounce this song it's not a big deal but how would you pronounce aaron if you had to i guess i'd call it nikki hokey if i had there we go that's what i was gonna say too good job you passed nikki hokey oh thank you man listen to this though just imagine you're this bass player and you're like i'm gonna play something funky and then aretha's gonna come in

[63:32]that's this is a good ride symbol it's some tony williams the uh writing credits for this song go to jim ford and this helps remind me of something i gotta bring up lolly vegas and pat vegas which reminds me that june 14th to the 17th we will be in or january we will be in las vegas at the link i have to see you there i'm just not playing because it's so hard to edit when i have the music are we now are we going to do an episode in las vegas we're not right we're not going to

[64:03]take any time to do an episode there no you're not one of us one of us decided one of us is not coming so one of us will not be there the rest of us are going to a trampoline park it's going to be a great oh my god i'm gonna die i'm telling you guys this album this album is so funky i was listening to it driving up with the fam today we were all grooving and jamming and by that i mean my wife was checking instagram and my kids both had headphones in okay so it's probably one of the top five top five vacation for me of all time it was great you make me feel

[64:32]like a natural woman oh is this a top 10 song that we've heard so far i think it might be yes yeah this is the first time where now i don't feel bad that you guys ragged on carol king so bad you guys just tore her to shreds on that album i do feel bad and i felt bad at the time and now i hear this i'm like yeah there's a difference here isn't there it's still a great she can write carol king can write amazing writer yes

[65:00]it's kind of like kanye rapping dude you're right but man right adult yeah it's like prince i mean masturbating with a magazine like that you got to think of that stuff like that's expert stuff writing i don't know guys i thought of that when i thought of nicky where i haven't been able to get out of my head strings in later they didn't have strings and muscle shoals did they uh oh yeah i want to derail everybody they had a they had a tub thumping oh let's just move on that that song is so good and we do we not i mean finger

[65:35]symbols rob can we do a song parody about tub printing where you're leaving your butt prints i get knocked down i don't sit up again i don't sit up again for another couple hours my butt's still there in the tub yeah oh i it turns out i think that was a permanent thing that was not from me specifically but since you've been gone has your family members had any complaints or not since you've been gone you make me feel like a natural woman is about

[66:03]having a big bush right oh god i don't think so baby sweet baby this jamming good piano out here too right just like the honky tonk style with the driving rhythms this sign sealed delivered by stevie wonder that's what this reminded me of i was like god what song did i hear that yeah yeah i hear that aaron you were mentioned the rhythms to me one of the things i like you guys have been talking all night about kind of that

[66:30]muscle shoals the rhythm section that's been playing with aretha on the first one and now this one so i thought maybe what we could do is dive in a little bit to the swampers who are the rhythm section and we can do a list of the five greatest songs ever that feature the muscle shoals rhythm section better known as the swampers russell you you never never fail to come through so what i smelled like after that trampoline park swampers what was going on at the bottom

[67:00]of that trampoline mad has mentioned this before there's a there's a documentary out there i think it's called muscle shoals and it kind of gets into the whole like the history of uh the music down there the recording studios the backing bands and everything i would highly recommend it matt you've talked about it before but it is so good don't you yeah i mean it's essentially like this bermuda triangle right uh like uh mississippi sound and then you've got like chicago influence coming down a little bit of tennessee and kentucky then you got some of your florida georgia coming

[67:33]over and it's like this central point where these all of these people meet right and then these these people who just grew up with all of that influence coming from all around them and so it's like the heart of americana music if you want to get really sappy about it right because of all these confluences of different uh sounds coming together and it all kind of went right at muscle it kind of right at muscle shoals there so so there's this guy in the 60s his name's rick hall and he creates fame studios

[68:00]and muscle muscle shoals and so they in the documentary they talk about how it kind of creates a different kind of r&b it's different than memphis or detroit or la it sounds different so he has this backup rhythm section and they go on a tour with the beatles and then they left him and went to memphis so he forms this second rhythm section and it's the second one which they call the second fame gang and that ends up becoming the the muscle shoals rhythm section that you hear about or they're also known as the swamper so if you guys remember in the song by leonard skinner

[68:33]sweet home alabama what does he sing about the alabama's got the swampers or something like that they have there you go right those shows got the swampers same piano you can hear it right yep yeah all right is this that band it's not this band but but they're emulating now then he said now then he said lord they get me off so much but so i'm trying to think about every what the

[69:00]swampers are doing feeling blue like that's a pretty cool shout out to a rhythm section out there right but yeah he's hitting the ride cymbal and then jacking off ronnie van zandt like crazy like this is the perfect day at the studio so they become this like really prominent studio band playing in muscle shoals forever so the first song on the list is the first song that ever topped the charts out of muscle shoals it's percy sledge when a man loves a woman oh i didn't know that was for muscle shoals listen to that snare and there's the ride cymbal there's ronnie van zandt in the back he's doing it

[69:35]and so when you watch the documentary you guys were talking about jerry wexler the guy who ran the studio played this for jerry wexler and that's like what started the whole relationship with him and helped bring aretha down to play there or actually breathe and play there for one song and then they were like we're never coming back never come back so the band had to come play with her right so next song on the list this is edda james i'd rather go blind check this out and tell me what current song this sounds like to you guys something told me it was so good

[70:10]that band seems to go tennessee whiskey it sounds exactly like tennessee whiskey they ripped this song off didn't they is that chris stapleton that song didn't he yeah well you're hearing it in the background right now beyonce's only mistake was trying to play edda james in in the movie kind of like records she just could not it just was not right so one of the cool things about muscle

[70:32]shoals is after wexler hears percy sledge he has this falling out with the studio in memphis and he decides to bring an amazing song to the studio and he decides to bring an amazing song to the studio and he decides to bring an amazing artist down to play in muscle shoals an artist that is very fond of my heart this is wilson pickett the song is mustang sally check it out phillips i don't know listen this group jesus i mean this stuff will make you stretch your face up and you gotta move this is it organ in there i always thought this was just a tad too slow though i hate to be

[71:06]the negative guy it was famously difficult to work with like he basically worked himself out of the industry like he could have been a huge star but no one liked him they talked about that he was really difficult to work with an interesting thing about that song is it was originally recorded by mac rice in 1965 and aaron they did not have the organ on that one so that's one of the reasons this one stands out is that organ being added to it that organ but a really cool thing about that when they originally were releasing that song that mac rice it was called mustang mama and

[71:34]someone heard the song and told him to change it the title to mustang sally that person aretha franklin oh russell this is oh my god you gotta listen to a reason so good yeah you're gonna say something about this one i was just gonna say it's from i can only every time i hear that song now i think of the full monty and just how funny it is there's just a movie about guys getting naked i don't know but it still is funny to me every time rob what would be your full monty song if

[72:03]you were gonna be do a strips teaser a shoe show if you will what would what would your song be probably it's a small world after all then there'd be no surprises let's say what what is your favorite thing about a movie where a bunch of guys are getting naked i just think the the concept of it is funny where they're like oh we should get naked and then everybody just does it i was thinking of that when i was walking through airport security you know because i always i'm convinced i know those x-ray scanners can see my junk and so you know what i do every time before i hop into there

[72:30]i throw it around a little bit gotta chub it up just in case there's somebody watch it look at those pictures gotta give them the business gotta look at gotta be careful though okay because it is you are being watched pretty closely so you gotta look out but i recommend to everybody before you go through chub it up just a little bit just a little bit of movement yeah no you can't do too much man i don't know the man just do not do too much just a little bit no if you're bulge underwear on too yeah no you you cannot do too much otherwise you will get

[73:00]pulled aside and give it a number of tests that you may or may not want i don't know so it maybe in 1969 the swampers they're supposed to sign this exclusive deal to keep playing at this famed studios down in muscle shoals but they decided to chub it up a little bit and they went out on their own and started their own studio jerry wexler sets them up so they leave the other guy high and dry and they go start their own studio and they struggle for a few years and before we get to the next time there was this really cool story so they've got leonard skinner in there and they're sitting there and they're practicing at their studio and this guy's in

[73:31]there and he's playing he starts playing the piano tune that eventually becomes free bird and the guy who was playing it matt was their roadie he wasn't even in the band but he was like a concert pianist and he was playing that and they're like we need to record this so they record it nine minute song and he's trying to sell it to all these uh record labels no one will put out a nine minute song so skinner ends up leaving this studio records it somewhere else and they make it a hit somewhere else because no one would put out a nine minute hit can you

[74:01]imagine turning down free bird just be like god i'm the guy who turned down free bird yeah it sounds a lot like my ex-girlfriends who when they see me on facebook now they're like he was certainly my free bird here's a guy that looks like he shit his pants doing a flip into a moist ball pit and they're like there goes my dream man i really missed out on him but all of this you know like free bird all of that came out right after you know the beatles rolling stones all of this stuff when they got rid of just making uh songs to be on the radio right i mean this whole thing about

[74:33]having albums about you know starting your own music being uh using the recording equipment and recording devices and then the you know ultimately the the studio as like an as a form of art you know that's what uh kind of you hear that throughout this whole list of why a lot of these albums from this time are on the top 100 let alone top 500 list so yeah you're absolutely right free bird you know people might make fun of it because it's kind of a southern rock song or whatever but it's

[75:01]it's an awesome song so it's so good every time i hear that guitar solo oh it's just a killer i'll see you 100 bucks in nashville yeah it does and they have this they have this new studio but it's kind of struggling for a while and then the stones come down there and play there but it turns out the swampers didn't play with the stones they played at the studio but the swampers didn't back them up right but a song that really crushes that the swampers backed them up on is the staple singers i'll take you there check this one out i mean listen to these drums on this

[75:38]and the bass so this is the second one though right maybe because this one sounds pretty clear to me like this is the second way different right this is like definitely recording in a different studio and to think that they started staple supply chain stores it's crazy i read rolling stone editor david built a staple center out in la i can't believe it and they invented the staple center right the weird thing is they had their name first and then invented

[76:03]the stapler they the staple singers had this thing where they're bussed they got on the bus just full papers all over the place loose all over the place they're like what oh no this is how are we going to know how to put them together yeah and they're like oh it would be so cool if somebody would collate this and put it together and little bobby staples got together and said listen i'm gonna stick bobby staples and percy swingline johnson you know got together yep and that's how the stapler is born and that's a true story all right last song on the list this

[76:33]is when i went out on a date in hopkins with the girl who swore a lot it was on main street the song is bob seger main street check out the band down a fucking main street that is the muscle shoals sound isn't it it is right and there's rob's bass line again it's just singing i hate i read bob seger most of his songs were with this his backing band the silver bullet band those are two pretty cool badass bands to be playing with you

[77:03]name wise right who would you rather have backing you up the swampers or the silver bullet band oh i gotta go with the swampers i feel like i feel like if i'm hanging out with the swampers i'm gonna be the most attractive guy in the group right if it's me if it's rob and the swampers rob is the supermodel in the whole group no doubt yeah probably the swampers but it's close it's so good russell that was such a good list that's i thought it was pretty easy everyone's gotta go check that check that documentary out it was amazing yeah you tie it all together and the

[77:32]new studio was like two blocks away right i mean they had the original and then the new one that was like two blocks away so it's like yeah it's funny too because muscle shoals is a town of like three people right like it's mostly just the studio it's crazy all right where were we uh good to me as i am to you karen i wish you were as good to me as i am to you i try rob it's hard geez there she's just going off again this is where i know i'm not allowed to talk about radiohead but this is where i hear this

[78:05]and i just can't i can't get past radiohead this is like the art i don't get matt yeah you just don't get it i hear that that's i mean i think that's what i was trying to trying to think about in in my rolling going is that i sometimes will read a book or listen to music where it's a lot of work to try to understand it and then i listen to something like this and i'm like well this just sounds fucking great like it's fun to

[78:33]listen to top to bottom why would i ever try hard to enjoy something when i can just put this on instead i think this you know what you should do i i think we're all in our life pretty soon we're going to have people going to college right and this would be a list of just like okay you're going to have people over and you know it can be guys girls whoever you're going to have people over to your room and you're going to have to put on an album that people can listen to and you just sit and talk this would be a top five album just to have on in the background that you put on to

[79:01]show that hey i'm a cool guy i've got some taste and it's going to set the tone of like hey this is a funky good time we're having in this dorm room okay it definitely it isn't you know maybe your freshman roommate constantly listening to the back to the future soundtrack over and over and over while you're trying to sleep so all you hear is i'm going to go back in time which is what filled my dorm room was the back to the future my freshman roommate listened to jewel pieces of you at night on repeat it was either that or you to the joshua tree and his cd player would get stuck and repeat

[79:32]parts of the joshua horrible and he he needed music to sleep like literally while i was trying to sleep i would hear you two on repeat or jewel pieces of you yeah i put this on instead good good that's a really good take rob college is a crazy time isn't it like if i just said to somebody you're going to go and live in this room that is small and you're going to live with this that we you've never met before right and you're just going to live with them you'd be like oh god you couldn't pay me to do that you'd be like oh no that's the funny part actually you're going to

[80:02]pay quite a bit of money and you're going to learn a lot of things that i was thinking of this the anything i learned in college in my job except for the fact that i went to college so i tell kids like hey this is what i did wrong in college you shouldn't do this like i don't know if i actually actually be and and probably being a roommate was the number one skill i learned of like oh i am a slob like it did your did your roommate the first four years not tell you to not put the towels in the sink or we shared a bath we didn't share a bathroom my freshman year roommate was

[80:33]messier than i was did that roommate get you bologna sandwiches when you were sleeping i wish i would have married that guy oh that would have been so awesome uh uh and i would have said to him hey come back baby is it what is it true that eric clapton played the guitar on the last song too yes he's yeah he's on the credits yeah and this one has got king curtis on it i think yeah yeah from this one this this had a lot of music going on yeah if i could play

[81:06]this i would never do anything else in my life i think this was my dream when i started playing the bass now that i've dunked a basketball that dream out of my way i'm done with that now i want to play like this on this song this is king curtis on this one russell you said i think so yeah i mean she had clout like she had clout i think it's king curtis on the tenor sax and then i know there were two flute players on the on the song two flute players two two if one's good two is

[81:32]better grooving but yeah was this is this one was this one by the rascals first look it up i don't know all i know aaron just to get you get that carving knife going again young rascals yeah this does have the sweet inspirations on it so i know you like the sweet inspiration you know yes you know that i'll get the chef's knife chef knife sharpened and ready to cut ready to go through the x-ray machine at the airport song is written by cavalieri's new

[82:06]round interest in afro cuban music oh it's nice oh good ain't no way oh this thing is a killer this is the third single off his album did better than chain of fools is this the last is this the last song yeah this is a pretty great way to end an album with her just crushing it right it sounds like the studio cannot hold her it just sounds like

[82:31]she needed to be a huge counselor i shouldn't talk but she's singing yeah imagine if vince mcmahon had to record the studio he would sound terrible wouldn't he rob vince vince you gotta get away you gotta get way closer that was terrible this album is so funky this is so good god i gotta say guys i have regretted doing this podcast so so many times no i'm just kidding i love it i love it uh although hiding from my family on

[83:03]christmas day because i have to finish an edit was i was thinking hmm am i getting too into this podcast but listening to an album like this it was it's so worth it it's so good i mean it just is i don't get to rank these albums but i love this i thought this should be way higher up in the list i think it should be higher than the other uh one that we listened to i don't know let's get into the ratings with hot takes like that i don't know why i don't do actual ratings that was so good so detailed did it better rating system oh yeah

[83:36]by the way my kid used the word ain't the other day in conversation and somebody like corrected her and i was like are we still doing that we're still we're still correcting just perfectly fine to say yeah just say people know what you're saying when you say it yeah who cares i think it's more of a it's an affect just let them do it listen this is the rating system this is album 75 okay is this album at 75 rolling well toned that means it is perfect okay so when we sit down and

[84:00]we make this list and we're putting albums once again against each other kind of in a head-to-head royal rumble of albums okay let's say we got 500 albums they're all in the ring they're looking at each other they're tossing each other oh there go the slits they got tossed out already oh there goes the joshua tree it got tossed out already would this lady soul okay great name for an album too bad i'm disappointed there was not a song called lady soul on the album would this get tossed out of the ring at 75 uh right before uh the college dropout which would be tossed out of the ring right after that again we are using my wrestlemania what if aretha and aretha's albums

[84:35]got in the ring at the same time like they were number one and number two in the royal rumble oh now russell now you've got me thinking and i i like when i start thinking actually i was thinking about that strawberry ice cream that you're gonna eat later what that would do to my stomach so is this a rolling well tone that means it is perfect at 75 is this a rolling groan oh this should not have been this high this should be later down listen muscle shoals plus aretha franklin who needs that that is not what i want or is this a rolling boned okay this should have

[85:05]been way higher than 75 we should have heard this earlier on the list now of course that means if you're going to the rolling stone website you should have been this should have been clicked on later because you do click 180 and then you go 80 to 60 and then you go 60 to 40 and then you go 40 to 20 and the last page is an interminable 20 to 1 now if you have not visited the rolling stone top 500 albums web page i highly recommend it if you haven't already go to the rolling stone top it is full of fun tidbits it makes uh it basically is what we base this podcast around okay it's like

[85:35]that but more fun so think about that and again every time i edit this part of the podcast i am so bored i don't know who enjoys this i certainly don't and i'm in charge of it okay so aaron what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan and don't forget your wife took the garbage out because you didn't it's true and i do i do appreciate that and i wish that i had taken it out but we had a busy night and i just did a busy day it's only nine o'clock you still have time i love i love how we had a busy

[86:06]day we did a lot of stuff i did not take out the garbage my wife i messed up i will i i agree and sweetheart if you're listening i apologize next time i'll get the garbage out but i will say about this album man i i don't know how you can possibly anytime we get to hear aretha it it really seems to me that she is one artist who even though she has two appearances in the top 75 on this list i just don't think rolling stone did right by her i think when it comes to soul music when it comes

[86:33]to pop singing there's nobody else who doesn't like her and on this one when she's with a great band what could be better i'm with rob i actually think i'm not even sure this is my favorite release album i think young gifted in black which we haven't even heard yet might be better because it has rock steady and daydreaming on it and it has billy preston and it has donnie hathaway and bernard purdy but i'm not even going to get into that this one okay it better have bernard purdy or definitely does he played on rock steady he did he did the beat for rock steady but uh yeah this

[87:04]is rolling bone it has to be higher she's just too good matt what do you think rolling boned rolling well toned or rolling grown i mean we keep getting into these these discussions and i think that if you say that aretha franklin is a top singer of all time yes right like is this album i mean is there any different to me and i'm a little bit of a contrarian take here is there difference between uh you know album 8 and album 14 i mean i think i get caught up in the fact that

[87:36]she's got 14 albums in like eight years right and then after that there's another 14 and so it's almost like a greatest hits if you will just people just spit them out this album together great like like aaron said great singing great great songs great backup great musicians all that stuff so i'll just say uh you know there's there's absolutely no argument of aretha as a singer her place in history for the pop uh scene and everything you know from

[88:05]where she started on on forward uh but i'll just say this this album is rolling well toned right here at 75 i just want to say that uh young gifted in black is not even the next reetha album we're going to do we have amazing grace at 154 oh well that's also fantastic and then young gifted in black is all the way at 388 aaron so just to put that into perspective i know but i also want to guys i see this on rob's screen when we get to that that run of j dilla donuts radiohead in
