[00:00]in 2020 four friends decided to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums is decided by rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better from 2016 this is album 79 blonde by frank ocean you know yeah bob dylan we've been getting them no we've been getting we've been getting a lot of texts

[00:36]recently saying oh rob you're so dirty you're so dirty uh no we haven't nobody cares they think it's funny they actually think it's a highlight of the show uh and with that in mind and actually you know why would i talk about that doesn't i don't know but let's turn on the radio and see what random song is on that does not relate to the conversation i just tried to start mostly with myself as it turned out all right here we go Hi Rob K-R-O-B listen sometimes i get dirty but it's not my fault the guys encourage me to do it

[01:03]oh yeah now it's time for another show i don't worry how it's gonna go if it's not really going right i'll just make a dirty joke tonight now we're recording feels like i'm flying so i go to my default to talk about my hairy balls now that guys so i guess i'll double down i'll say my balls are a darkish brown

[01:34]addicted to getting laughs even if i show no class i would love to have a show i could play my kids on the radio but i can't avert when i talk like a pervert so i give in go the other way i'll be twice as dirty today one thing you don't know the guys tell me after every show the dirty bit from earlier they said next time make it dirtier

[02:01]all the way i love it natural not yes i've got the perfect podcast for you jack beck did it better there are times when you're not doing it right and you're not doing it right and you're not doing it right sometimes when when rob does get a little dirty when i send the feedback on the the draft or the rough cut of the podcast where i have to use the word filthy and that means he's gonna bleep something out if filthy gets used he's gotta bleep

[02:36]that's when you know you made it yeah i feel bad though because the beep noise i have is so loud that when i put it in there i'm afraid it's like it's such a loud beep i'm afraid it's jarring to people but then i'm like if people really care they'll write in but it doesn't seem like anybody cares about much in general actually uh let's get into the show this is beck did it better we are going through the top 500 albums of all time and we are talking about each one and nothing else nothing about a personal life nothing cool so if you're here because of the neil young business on spotify which has increased our downloads like threefold on the harvest episode which if i will remind you is the one where we did our mount rushless

[07:01]to aaron uh and then he did tell the story and at the end he put hosts in uh quotation marks he said congratulations to robin the other host so i wanted to make that very serious that's bush league yeah uh yep it's true but this guy was talking about he actually got his jaw wired shut for six months and couldn't eat anything and would cry for the rest of his life when he saw other people eat aaron is where does that rank on your worst nightmares is not being able to eat real food oh that's number one that's the worst night that's no that's actually

[07:30]yeah we've talked about fears on here before and i didn't think of that one that's it like yeah no eating i wouldn't i would not i wouldn't watch other people eat i would sit alone for however long it took until i was healed that's a terrible nightmare that's awful i'd just be like you know what my underbite fucking let's go like i have an underbite that's just the way it's gonna be yeah i'm gonna underbite some pizza fuck you like i'm gonna yeah get my jaw wired shut fix this what is it what does it even like look like when you have a big underbite it's like you're it's kind of like a droopy dog like a bulldog type look i just have a bulldog for our listeners yeah not really a joke more of a thought more of a new

[08:04]yorker cartoon where you slightly turn your lips up and go just ask him that question here yeah i would just be pissed that i wouldn't be able to use siri right rob i wouldn't be able to use siri what an outrage siri latina milf compilation it's like i just can't understand what i'm saying can't ask alexa by the way it's all visual you have to ask siri uh so have you guys ever had like a so aaron how did you how did you end up with your broken

[08:31]have you guys ever broken a bone beside aaron we know he does we don't like talking about i feel like we're jinxing ourselves by my damn arm still hurts i'm so pissed i've not i will not get back on my mountain bike i'm still mad at my mountain bike i should be mad at myself but my arm still hurts is a very minor injury but the thing hurts so bad every day i'm so frustrated about it you that's that's i i love going to pt i've got a pt well you guys know my pt guys he's once again he's read all that yellow stuff i did i went back in the other day and he was like the wrong color

[09:01]that's he's like you have another intestinal blockage this is the second time i've seen that i was like bro i do not need to be judged you know what i mean like yeah no duh i got intestinal blockage let me tell you a story about that it's like a baseball bat coming out of there sometimes you know what i mean like yeah i know i am here because my leg hurts it does not have to do with testing please stop sir this is a wendy's but when he hooks you up and like puts the cups on your back and makes it into the big hickey and like uh sticks you with needles it's just so

[09:32]relaxing like you're sitting there no kids telling you what to do no wife asking you what the password is to paypal for the thousandth time even though you've set up a password manager and you've offered to share the password manager with her and it's actually not a big deal she asks over and over what a password is i swear if i'm gone my wife is not going to be able to use anything password related in her whole life she's just going to keep getting like codes sent to my phone over and over hey did you get the paypal code what is it i'm like what is going on i don't even know

[10:01]people still use paypal isn't paypal out isn't that old news rob well i yes that's why my old wife is using it it is old news and old people are using it including my old wife going to an old person pathology conference that still is accepting paypal yeah it's wild to me i i don't know i just don't i i don't get how if i had one advice for me growing up when i was younger and i'm serious about this if i could say one thing to my past self okay first of all i would try to kiss myself but second of all if i had some advice to give i would say do not share anything with your

[10:37]spouse do not share your apple itunes account one of the worst mistakes i've ever made in my life is sharing my apple itunes account with her it's terrible when i look at my steps right and it it's going off my wife's weight because we can't split it up it seems like there's got to be a way i bet she resets the itunes password i bet once every month just a brand new password she can't

[11:01]remember what it is she resets it and then i'm like what what's the password she's like i don't remember i'm like well that wasn't good is the password so so you guys are all married so you share family passwords or whatever but what if you were in the dating world how long do you have to be dating someone before you would be willing to share one of your one of your streaming accounts you know and we all know as for red-blooded males there is always one time when it comes up when you're going to share that password yeah you're waiting on one one thing oh yeah sure

[11:34]i'll share this with you yep you know that's the only about the only time and then you're like damn it yeah well i gotta i mean i was i was thinking of saving this for my rolling home but i do have a story about that i i set up uh so i use i use spotify on the lady that you talk to on your speaker that i'm not going to say her name because she's sitting next to me and she'll make a noise like this happen alexa more dick pills but so we so so she set up and two years ago i'm so my spot i'm so spoiler alert i'm off spotify now

[12:13]for reasons that people could probably imagine but i've been a hardcore spotify user for a while hardcore spotify now i'm interested spotify wrapped was always really important to me 2020 was a stressful year and so someone would always say lady play ledward ka'apana and ledward

[12:30]ka'apana is a hawaiian sliky guitar player so 2020 my spotify wrapped the whole thing was ledward ka'apana which was fine that was fine but in 2021 this was the story you were saving for your in 2021 i'm gonna get to this 2021 my spotify wrapped the whole top five was taylor swift songs from the folklore album because because someone was just playing folklore in my house on our family to be fair to be fair yes it was a pretty good it's a good album it was a pretty

[13:02]good it is a good album no no question i can't argue but it was like every come on i want to lay or whatever that rapper was you know i don't know that may it's a little marriage is such a person's game of like oh yes i do want to spend the rest of my life with this person and at some age you're like i wish we could just live apart and like just see each other every once in a while using my alexa screwing up my spot you're telling me you're not upset about your spotify wrap getting screwed up i know you are i know you are i'm as upset as i just was expressing and then it's a

[13:30]yeah and you want to live in a separate boat is what you said and i edited it out i do not want to do that i edited that part out where you went on a long rant actually about how bad your marriage is going and mine's going fine so let's not so aaron you got rid of spotify what what are you using now what's your new system yeah i ended up with apple music which isn't necessarily much better like welcome our corporate overlords but i wanted to do title i actually really prefer title especially for this podcast because title has all of the album credits in app but when you got enough apple shit it just makes sense like it's fine we'll just keep giving apple

[14:01]money and hopefully they don't you know steal my data so that's where i'm at yeah good luck with that i hope they don't i'm sure that's not going to happen all right let's get into rolling going aaron i hope you have a sizzling hot another rolling going right off of that one i do it's it's a sizzler i got it i got you go oh yeah matt rolling going how's it going with you good get it aaron i was gonna call him russ because he said he didn't have one i thought

[14:30]it'd be the funniest shit to do but i don't want to make russ man impressive uh good i got a couple quick things and then one really big dilemma okay i'm just what you call it i think i think this is going to come out somewhere on the super bowl i am super stoked for the super bowl halftime show yes and i think i think the rest of our i think maybe i don't know russell are you excited for it absolutely this is yeah this is i think this is what they should do every single time they should have like more than one they should have some upper a smorgasbord a smorgasbord a charcuterie board of of axe yes i agree so i'm i'm looking forward

[15:07]who are all the acts again can we yeah let's do it and can we get the james brownhorns bob this time i'm going to play him backwards oh nice we've got snoop dog we've got dr dre oh this doesn't sound good at all we got kendrick kendrick we got mary j blige it's la so they're doing compton i get it we've got uh who's not from la

[15:32]but eminem yeah that james brown is really really smart i think that's that right the right if that would have gone the other way he would have never made the list that was james brown funeral director he did the other one when he was like saying he's like you know what everybody walking into that grave i don't feel good today i feel bad and it'll be like james brown is like i'm actually having quite a bad day i went out today and my car was broken down and somebody

[16:01]took one of my tires and then i went in and i couldn't find my best cape and i couldn't find my second best cape and then i was told that i couldn't find my second best cape and then i was told that actually i haven't been paying my band members for quite some time and so they all quit and then i got caught doing angel dust yeah yeah this is a chicken place i've got a gun that's my james brown impression all right matt don't you think part of the the super bowl act or to appeal to a really broad audience is you have to have some nostalgia right

[16:33]so isn't isn't this like a perfect combination of current acts that are popular but also you know nostalgic acts that go by and then you have to have some nostalgia right so isn't isn't go back 20 25 years kendrick's not yeah he's not a current act no no when did kendrick's album yeah his last album was maybe released before this one actually yeah 15 16 something like that yeah yeah so i mean it's it's current because we're old like well that's what i'm saying but that's a large portion of the people that watch the super bowl right old people dr dre is old as

[17:03]hell he's an old guy yeah right and and has he recovered fully from that stroke this isn't going to be a dick clark i guess we're going to find out this is going to be a dick clark on new year's eve post-stroke thing is it i feel like he's going to be very he might talk a little or he might do a little bit i feel like he's going to be the least vocal one at all yeah that makes sense but yeah that's just my sense okay i will give you guys let's let's take a bet right now what song are they going to open up with california love oh can't open with that no that would make sense

[17:34]it is the californian national anthem what about that and it's dr dre so i think it's going to be that one that goes right the piano dint is that dray day dint dint dint dint dint because it's on tiktok all the time wait how does it go hold on fuck you guys i'm gonna put it in i haven't i haven't figured it out yet it's the motherfucking d o double g i think that's gonna be it dr dre motherfucker

[18:00]california love though that's a good bet what do you think aaron what are they going to open with they'll probably do like something like the intro to kendrick's album where they do everybody is a star it'll be something like that like it'll be kind of like i don't know don't they have to like an epic dr dre beat like nothing but a g thing or something like that or a clean version of fuck with dray day or something don't they have to open with the dr dre i think dray did didn't dray do that didn't dray do the beat for the mary j song that's like let's get it crunk up on us on the phone i mean i well matt already picked the best one i'm just trying to

[18:34]so russell my second my second part of my that i've been trying to get is i've been trying to get to here my plane trip i find i found another seat that you don't sit on a plane and i thought i had this thing dialed in i'm like oof i'm gonna sit right in front of an exit is this plain old matt this is plain old matt okay don't play the song we gotta get past this absolutely there's no chance rob is not gonna play this song he loves this song

[19:08]so much what seat is it man what's the one you got to avoid the uh the exit rows they're all taken up right so i'm like oh i'll go to the next one and on some planes there's an exit road that only has two seats the door can swing open and in front of it is three yeah i'm like oh that'll be perfect i

[19:30]can lean back because i never lean back never lean back stick that one leg out to the left yeah there's no chair and i'm like oh i'll be able to lean back because there's nobody behind me i bad about it it'll be no recline in those those things don't recline no recline in the exit rows so don't sit in the row right in front and then on top of that it's a little squished because the door is bad so yeah so luckily i was next to my wife so we could snuggle up a little and it wasn't that bad but yeah so don't sit there you know what's on you know what's bad when you're sitting in a seat and fat joe looks at you and he's like lean back a lean back that by the way i shook my

[20:05]that was part of the joke for those of you at home you also bad when you get on a plane in your city next to fat joe not good he's pretty skinny now though so maybe it's okay i don't know um so then not so bad i don't know this can this can get cut if we'd like it to get cut because oh no this i thought it will turn this into a jewel i mean i had my favorite bit you could see why i had two short things right i was gonna i was gonna cover 10 second 10 second two short things it's been about 38 minutes but welcome to the podcast

[20:33]but i am mortified and i don't know what to do about it but i've finally i i cannot eat chipotle anymore i've eaten too much chipotle in my life that i do not care to go to chipotle anymore and my kids love it like every wednesday every thursday is chipotle night and i just right i can't do it anymore can you just lie to them and tell them they went out of business and stop going oh i don't need my my problems

[21:00]don't need to be their problems russell i'm not gonna project my issues onto them so you know i'm not going to deprive them of chipotle but do you guys have anything you can do about it do are there are there things on the menu you haven't tried or secret creations you know because i've even tried it i've always been a chicken guy last time we ordered i went with the carnitas and i'm like yeah same thing it doesn't do it it's all the same oh no and and so do you guys have anything that you've overeaten that you just can't order anymore you can't get a fish filet sandwich anymore rosie and mcdonald's or anything like that i had well i had i had a fish

[21:34]sandwich on sunday actually not the fish filet i had the uh beautiful uh fish which from lovelies in downtown oakland just on sunday and the chef told us that they butchered the fish that morning it was really it was beautiful so no it's not fish filets for me uh i mean sometimes i get chickened out once in a while you guys know i cook a chicken once or twice a week and there are days where i get to the end i got like one i got like right now in the in the bridge i got like one serving hunk of thigh and i'm just like i'm not really i don't know i'm

[22:00]not really feeling it and then it's not enough for a meal but i'm gonna eat it because i don't want to throw it out so i feel you man i feel i feel you i went through a streak since last time we talked drinking pink rhinos 12 days in a row and i feel like i need to stay away from them now like pink rhinos 12 days in a row too much yeah you know it's like all my toilet paper is pink now like when i'm done it's all good very very bad but i've got all this leftover pink himalayan salt what do i do with it i don't know what to do with it but act to be honest now it's a protein shake

[22:30]i have a 14 ounce protein shake every morning that i make and now drinking it is like a job like i sit there and i'm like okay i'm gonna take a drink every five seconds and then it's gonna be gone in 30 seconds i'm like well isn't that too bad it's the life of a world-class athlete it's it's what it takes it's terrible man it's your lot you need to nut up and not let your kids tell you now listen you are talking to a guy tonight who did make pasta one single serving of pasta and sauce for a kid who did not want to eat uh gus's fried chicken that we brought home like world famous fried chicken she's like i don't like it so we made we made her

[23:02]a one thing of pasta but you know what that's not that's not you you need to nut up and tell your chipotle anymore because dad doesn't want to go okay and i'm in charge and you're gonna listen to what i say and that's the way it is i'm not in charge yeah i even told my boy some guys run around yes at our house around his house at our house i get one vote leo gets one vote eddie gets one vote and sarah gets four and that's the way it works and so you know that's how it works yeah

[23:30]kids are such a pain in the ass for food aren't they they're just well their kids aren't the pain of the ass but that's the pain of the ass no they can't but he's no when it comes to food kids are like kids are willing to go nuclear like they're the guy at the bar who's willing to use a bottle or whatever the fuck like it's always gonna escalate further than you expected and you realize like well it i mean it would this was not worth it to me like i just wanted to fight you you pulled out a knife like this okay we're done yeah there's been times in my life when i've eaten chipotle four or five times a week to like extended stretches i love

[24:02]that shit right like i think it's the greatest you know some places put too much cilantro in the rice but you know that's a whole nother story so uh roll on going aaron how's it going with you oh it's going great it was a big weekend this last weekend it was a low tide weekend here in northern california so uh somebody so you have to pay somebody to go sit and look at the ocean pay to park in the parking lot this time oh that's a good that's a good call back no this was all free all free so i gotta give i gotta give a shout out to

[24:32]aaron's wife at gmail.com she is on top of me wait wait wait wait wait wait sorry there's a little issue here low tide that sounds like aaron's washing machine because he doesn't wash his shirts they stink like hell okay go ahead very nice she's always paying attention to what what's cool to do with the kids for the weekend and we really she she noticed it was low tide that means if you drive out down to half moon bay it's this low tide you can walk out where it's usually water in the hundreds of hermit crabs and sea anemones and all kinds of cool shit so yeah that was amazing

[25:05]so so big shout out uh to her i gotta i gotta give the props um my latest finding shit to do for the kids don't they it's just like it's so valuable that's mvp type stuff man what else are you gonna do you're gonna sit around the house and watch him run straight at the couch 1000 that's what i did when i had a couple years where i was a stay-at-home dad i'd be like well i guess it's time to go outside and pull out the sled even though it's like july i was like okay you guys pull each other out of the sled i am out of ideas you know what i mean you find yourself it's like

[25:33]1 a.m you're like well i haven't left the house yet i'm going insane so we need to like get outside and do something it's terrible yeah she tells me on thursday night like hey it's gonna be low tide on saturday and like she turns out to be 100 the mvp we had a great day so i gotta give her a shout out yeah that was excellent um my newest uh youtube uh rabbit hole so um often um so i try to read you know i try to read a book every night before bed but usually once i get off of these calls with

[26:01]you guys i've uh i'm altered in a certain fashion you've had a lot of intellectual discussion you're like my brain's kind of full i'm processing these ideas i'm taking in what they've said and trying to exactly man doesn't want chipotle how do i feel about that stuff like that right so i'm working through that stuff so i gotta turn off my brain i gotta do something a little more uh passive in terms of entertainment so my newest thing is uh rap freestyles on youtube love them uh the funk flex freestyles the la leaguers freestyles uh today i watched a lot of rap freestyles on youtube

[26:31]nle choppa who is a memphis rapper so rob shout out to memphis um but my favorite ones recently my favorite one has been cameron and apparently cameron never went on uh funk flex it was like you know when cam got on it was like this is a big deal he is like he is the guy that everyone's been asking about so cam got on like he did like eight minutes just effortless like it's so easy for him it's amazing to watch these guys just do this off the top of their head but he was sitting there at his freestyle and he had these jars of stuff all

[27:00]stacked up in pyramids something like oh he's obviously on to promote his new weed strain right like that's like that's like a celebrity thing to do obviously that's right like that's for sure what he's doing so it was my role he was like things i spent all my time figuring that one out then it's gone he finished his his session and he was like everybody get out there get your pink horsepower it's pink dash horse pink hyphen horsepower.net i was like oh that's a that's a

[27:30]aphrodisiac or like a male enhancement pill yes yes i looked this up yeah so we we really i don't know guys like if we're gonna monetize this thing there are there's stuff out there there's people that would put stuff in jars i'm telling you put our name on it and we can people love to get better at two things okay and that is just the hardcore fucking just getting on just getting a rock hard erection that will last for hours right and just being able to just rearrange somebody's guts and

[28:00]get up all in there until they're addicted to what the dick did like it's all night long you could make a mint selling those and then the other thing people love is how can i go to sleep right if there's something that helps you go to sleep it's like put on these glasses and it's like yeah fuck yeah i'll put on these glasses they help me go to sleep it's like get out of here eat this cookie okay i'm good how about you get into bed and close your eyes like what are you talking just go to bed well this is coming from the guy who has to have different sleep machines

[28:30]What room is it, right? Listen to Miami Sound Machine. You go to bed. That is totally different. And I also have a fan on now. Like, I have a fan on full blast and a sound machine. Okay. But that is not the same at all. People love, I don't know, if you could make a device to somehow combine those two. I guess it's just jacking off, right? It's like jacking off combines those two. It's like, oh, yeah, this is so hot. Sure, I'm so tired. Like, yeah. Maybe Pink Horsepower would do it.

[29:01]Maybe Cam's got the right idea. It says right on the thing, like, set your phone alarm before watching porn so you don't have to do it afterwards and it'll keep you up a little longer. You know what I mean? Like, got to set the alarm first. That's a key. So did you order the pink horse cock or whatever it is you were talking about? I did not. I've not yet ordered Pink Horsepower. Not yet? Okay. By the way, I should tell our audience, I did take a picture of a horse with a huge penis today at the zoo. And I sent it to the text chain. And I'm pretty sure my dad caught me taking a picture of a horse just with a huge penis sitting there as I'm pushing.

[29:34]Because I had to, like, stop pushing the baby in the stroller. I was like, had a baby in a stroller. I had to stop and, like, take a picture of this huge horse cock. Sent it to Aaron and be like, Aaron, thinking of you. Like, just. Can you imagine walking down your path to the zoo and Rob's got a baby, right? So you probably think, everybody probably thinks it's your baby, right? You just see a guy stop, get a smile on his face, pull out his camera, just go click. Oh, no. The worst part. Because I'm walking around with my 13-year-old daughter. So everybody thinks it's me, my teenage bride, and our baby.

[30:02]And then I'm taking a picture of this horse cock. It's like, oh, great. Fantastic. Did you see that? Did you see that? What's the date? Are you in it again? Meanwhile, Russell's like, okay, let me pause this on Jessica Rabbit here and take a picture of this. But that's. I think actually, if you don't cross state lines, I think you're good to be where you are. No. If you get over into West Memphis, you've got a problem. Well, you can ask Chuck Berry about that. Mississippi is real close. I mean, Memphis is on the Mississippi border, so.

[30:30]Speaking of, I'm done with my rolling going, but we were listening to Yeba's newest. Yeba, who is from West Memphis, just recorded a session, a live session at Electric Lady Studios, which is where we're going to hear from later tonight. It's worth checking out. That new Yeba spot from Electric Lady is nice. Aaron, there's a lot of times where you're talking where I feel like I'm on Duolingo. Like, you're just saying stuff, and I'm like, what is he talking about? I have no idea. He's saying names, and I know they're words, right? They make sense. They make sense. I know there's letters, and there's words. I don't understand what's going on.

[31:00]Fair. That's fair. Tough, but fair. Russell, rolling going. How's it going with you? And you definitely have a rolling going. I've got two rolling goings. Oh, my God. They both relate to restaurants. I thought we could. I realized I had to share something with you guys. The other night, I was out to dinner at a nice restaurant in Minneapolis in the North Loop area, and I went, and we had our dinner and everything, had some drinks. We were about to leave, and our waitress came over, and I was paying the bill, and she came over, and she kind of like sat next to us, and she just said, I just want to make sure I can explain the new service charge,

[31:31]and if you guys have questions, I can tell you what I think is fair. Oh, good. Okay. It was the most amazing experience to have a person that was serving you come and just clarify like, hey, this is new. It's different. A lot of people don't know what to do. Here's what I think is fair, and here's how I would handle it. And what she told us was that the service charge, which was like 22%, essentially went to most of the staff, but it also gave a little bit more compensation to the kitchen staff.

[32:00]So the wait staff or the waiters and waitresses got a little bit less than they normally would if they were getting tipped normally, but the back of the kitchen was being tipped more. So what she said is that if you were to tip 5% or 10% on top of the service charge, the wait staff would be making as much or more than what they were making before, and the back kitchen staff would also be making more. So she said she advised when you see a huge service charge like that, you should tip 5% to 10% and people that are working there will be happy.

[32:32]So I felt like I needed to share that with you guys. What do you think of that? I appreciate that. That's why we come to this podcast. Is that true? If everybody else is tipping 20% because they're like me and they panic at the end, they don't know what the service charge is and they just need it. And then they're all tipping 20 and now you're tipping 10. Pretty soon, aren't you going to be a cheap dog compared to everybody else? I don't know, but she came up and it was the most amazing thing for her to just see like, hey, I want to make sure the people that came here had a good experience. And I think she probably just does that at all the tables because it's a new

[33:00]thing in a lot of places. Right. And she just came and she said, this is what I think. Yeah. If you leave this, the people that are at this restaurant will be happy. And maybe it differs for every restaurant. So it's not a, you know, one shoe fits all or whatever you want to call it. But I thought it was pretty cool. I now have a little guidance on how I handle the service should be. And so I don't have to sit there and just stare at a bill for like 12 minutes like I've been doing recently. I think my favorite part is at the end. Russell goes, excuse me, can you get the fuck out of here? I'm trying to have a conversation. It's my lovely date. And they totally alpha the help staff.

[33:32]He was like, I got my information I wanted. Now I'm going to show my wife or my spouse who's boss, not wife. I'm not married. I didn't give it any way. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Technically, Rob, I followed your previous advice and I spilled my drink and I told that waitress to please clean that up. To be fair, I said to do that to a bartender. I think that's a totally different thing. That's sick what you want to do. The other thing I was going to say is I was kind of curious. I also went to brunch. This last weekend and I was jealous of your life.

[34:01]How do you guys deal with a horrible bartender? So I had an experience of dealing with a horrible, uncomfortable bartender where you walk in, you sit down and they've got like specific drinks on their menu. They don't know how to make the drink. So when you ask for one, they act like they've never heard of it. You show it to them on the menu. They don't know how to do it. They don't know how to make it. Then they take your order. They immediately forget your order. They screw up your order. Then they pour your drinks. Your drink comes out and it's like half a glass. It's not even like a full glass.

[34:30]They're just the worst bartender in the world. How do you deal with a bad bartender? Is there a point where you could just say like, hey man, can you just let me make my own drink? Or lady, could you just try to hook that up? Just be like, hey, can you just kind of slide some stuff over here? I'll do it myself and we'll just call it good. Hey, why don't I come over there and make the drinks and you come over here and try to cop a feel on my dates bra like I'm doing. Okay, we'll just do the old switcheroo. Wait. You just feel the hot. It's so naughty.

[35:00]That's another cool thing about being married is like, oh, which one of these two bras is this that you have? Is this the old one or the older one? And so then the other thing I was wondering is how long is an acceptable time for a bartender to disappear? Our bartender at also one point said, hey, I have to go make a phone call. Yeah, I'll be back in a little bit. And they said, and then like the bus boy or whoever was sitting, the person who was busing the bar. Whatever said, I can't help you guys with any drink.

[35:30]So we ordered another drink before the bartender left. And so she just disappeared for like 15 minutes. Like, yeah, what is an acceptable time to disappear? If you're the bartender about 30 seconds. Like, what are you doing? Where is this place? Like 15 is the max. I got to say, I mean, 15 is like a break, right? That's like what the law might allow. But any more than that, I got to have a plan for a bartender taking a break. Like, that's not you can't have a one person bartender. Just take a break. Can you? But when we're also saying it's like this, it's the sign of the times, man.

[36:00]Maybe this bartender was there for it. Maybe this, yeah. Maybe this bartender was on a 12 hour shift to cover for a bunch of people. But they did. They were the drinks, the same price. Like they're, it's not a new world in that sense. Rob rolling, going, listen, guys, I hate to say this to you, but look out. The Superbowl and Valentine's day are real close this year. They are very, very close. You got to be careful next door. Yeah. You're going to get, you're going to get fired up for one. And you're going to forget about the other and say, oh my God, gosh, I can't believe they played a football game. I forgot about it. I was so intensely focused on Valentine's day.

[36:31]But that made me think of, and, and did you guys ever have the Valentine telegrams at school where you would fill out, like you would fill out a survey about yourself and then they would match you with the 10 other people in the grade that were just like you. It was like a computer. It was like a, yeah, like 25 questions. And if, you know, if you answered 24 this way and the other person answered 20, you know, then they'd say you're 99%. Compatible with. Yeah. It was like the original match.com.

[37:00]And then they would. Yep. This was at school. Yeah. He paid two bucks for it. Yeah. I don't recall this at all. No, this isn't. It was a absolute fucking nightmare for me because I was always matched up with the same person. I did it like four years in a row and they always matched up with the same person. And listen, no offense, but this person was a fucking nerd. They were a loser. Okay. They were a loser nerd and they were my highest match every, every single time. And I was like, what? Like every year I try something a little different and they match me.

[37:31]I'd be like, damn it. Who's, who's your favorite band, Rob? Oh, they might be giants. Of course. Yeah. Right. What are they going to be doing? What was your major? What was your major in college? Well, it was life. It was biology. Oh, okay. What do you teach on the weekends now? What's your extracurricular class that you teach? Science Olympiad. Listen, I don't have time to answer all these questions. Okay. I'm living with you. I'm living with my nerd girl. But it was, and then, and then the worst part was at the bottom,

[38:01]they would put the top five people you're not compatible with. Oh no. That's even the worst. And so they would get the same thing. And so of course the girl I had a crush on, guess where she would be every time down, down at the bottom. Absolute disaster. Isn't that an opposites attract type of thing though? Oh yeah. A little Paula. Two steps forward, two steps back in the background right now. Is that the one where the cat was running around? Like the time was in the video, right? Yeah. Weird, weird. She fucked that cat in the video. I just want to be very clear with it.

[38:30]Oh, 1000%. I don't, I don't know about that. Oh yeah. MC scat cat. That's why he got that name because he was into it. What else would attract? Yeah. He was like, you're under this glass table. Okay. You sit in the litter box. I'm going to do this on you. And it turns me on. And she's like, Oh, can I take a shower afterwards? So how did, why are we talking about the batching game from when you were in middle school? It made me, cause it's Valentine's day. It made me think of it. Oh. So I don't have a question. You guys always come to these with questions.

[39:00]Do your kids still bring the Valentine's to school? Like when we were kids, you would make a box and you come in and you would have to give a Valentine to everyone. And then occasionally people would do like the, well, I don't want to give one to that person because I don't like that person or whatever, but your kids still bring in Valentine's and put them into a box. And I'll tell you what, without fail, my kids class is like 25 kids and the Valentine's come in box of like 23, 24. Yeah. And I'm like, I got my whole. Another box for, you know, there's one nerd kid.

[39:30]It's like, can you just not? And then she's like, well, I want to give one to myself. And I'm like, you just want the candy. I know what you're doing. Cause I did the same thing. You just want that candy. You don't need to give a Valentine to yourself. But yes, Russell Valentine's day card giving in school is alive. And I almost feel like that would have been dead like years ago. I feel like this is not, not an acceptable practice in today's society. I would love a day where everybody at my work, just we exchanged cards with each other and like had a nice, like, oh, here's a piece of candy and a card saying like, that's fun. But when you're growing up with other kids, like you're going to grow up and maybe not

[40:00]have to see those kids anymore. Like those people at work, like whoever gives you a Valentine today is going to piss you off a week from now. And you're going to have to fucking deal with it. So I don't want to ever talk about work. Look how angry Aaron's never got this podcast in a year and a half. Yeah. But he's like, you have to give a fucking card to someone at work. They're going to piss you off a fucking week from now. I now have the, I know the perfect gift for Rosie. I watched on the plane. I had an hour, I had an hour to kill before the football game come on. So I, on the way home. So I watched, uh, the beginning of, of office space and it was so great that during halftime I went back to watch

[40:31]this a little bit more. It was so great. But Rosie, you need to get an Initech shirt and an Initech mug and drink your coffee out of your Initech mug every day. Cause that was the name of that company and they had all this stuff. That's what I need. You need, yeah. You're working at Initech. You might as well just refer to your job as Initech. I'm going to start doing that. And I can tell more stories, but they wouldn't be that interesting. But you are correct. So what are the hot Valentines for kids these days? Is it like teenage mutant Ninja turtles? What, what, what's the hot thing? What year do you think this is, Russell?

[41:00]That is teenage mutant Ninja turtles. I don't know. My nephews are into turtles. They watch the turtles. Is it like, uh, Avengers or who? Man, you know what's fucked up about the Ninja turtles? They shortened the Ninja turtles names. My son has a Ninja turtle book. Mike, Leo, Raph. Yeah. Like that, yeah. Yeah. Like they lost the whole connection to the artists. Like now they're called Leo, Raph, Donnie. You know, when I'm in the New York, when I'm at the Met looking at paintings, I still think of the Ninja turtles. Every time I see a Donatello, I'm like, hmm. Bo Staff, he was good with machines. Yes. Very interesting how he did this.

[41:31]Purple headband. Leonardo Leeds. Yeah. He was the blue guy. Yeah. Michelangelo is kind of the Joe Francis of the group. Kind of a party dude. A lot of people don't know that after that show, Michelangelo was trying to get girls to take their tops off. And he claimed it was a first amendment thing, which if you think about it, he's kind of a hero actually. So, um, oh, anyway, so we just lost all those people that signed up for the Neil Young one. All right, let's get into the, it's time for the music podcast.

[42:00]Go ahead, Rob. Oh yeah, let's talk about some music. Paw Patrol, Russell. You seen Paw Patrol? You seen any Paw Patrol? I'm aware of what it is. Oh yeah. Chase is on the case. Yep. That is the big, that's the big Valentine's. And then, you know, my youngest one is into now is anime. Like she's into anime, like just crazy, like all Japanese anime. She's watching an anime about just a high school volleyball team. I'm buying her. Do you not remember that three days ago, we talked about the, the top porn searches on you porn. And one of them was. No, it was a hentai or manga.

[42:31]It was hentai. I'm not buying my kid hentai. How are we not going to make jokes? I'm not buying my kid hentai sweatshirt. There's not like a tentacle, you know, coming out of the sweatshirt. Aaron knows what I'm talking about. Give me a high five. Maybe Beck did it better. Maybe we need to send Valentine's to all of our listeners. Rob, what would be on our Valentine's? What would be like the, what would be the sayings on our, on our Valentine's? What would be our sayings? Can you feel my heartbeat? Here's a picture of my feet. That'd be a good one.

[43:02]That's pretty good. You make my heart fill up like an inflatable. I don't know. Something like that. We really don't have that many good bits. I think I just said both of them. Something about feet. I have big, I got big gray balls. And then I would put a little, I dip them in paint and then make a little heart on there. That's one of our, it's one of our bits. You know, when you say it, it is funny. Like it's a funny bit. Like when you said it, I did laugh. I was like, God, they should say more stuff like that. That's really funny. And then I realized it was something else.

[43:30]You get sued by Ben Roethlisberger for that though, right? Just a reminder, in court, somebody testified. He has a great penis. Still one of my favorite sports stories of all time. Listen, let's talk about Frank Ocean's Blonde. Yes. Nice. Yes. I am excited to talk about this. So I have to say this album is a new one for me. I have never listened to this, but his, this is his second album. His first album was an album Orange, which really became kind of a queer anthem in hip hop, which is an interesting place for, for kind of a, a, a queer point of view because it's so often a homophobic space to begin with.

[44:03]And then all of a sudden he comes out with a second anticipated album that everybody was talking about and how is it, you know, and it came out just on Apple music. And he claims that this album is inspired by Brian Wilson and the Beatles. And in fact, he originally started recording this at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. And we've heard that with, that was Jimi Hendrix's studio. We heard that with D'Angelo. We heard that, where else did we hear that? Was that Patty Smith? Maybe Patty Smith. And then eventually he had writer's block.

[44:30]And so he went all the way to Abbey road to finish it up. So some Beatles there, this album debuted at number one in the U S released only on Apple music to start with. And then if you, it's interesting though, because if you listen to this rhythm, this album, it's totally different than what I thought it was going to be. There's almost no rhythm in this, right. There's no rhythm section in this whole album. It's kind of, it's what they call avant-garde soul. And one of the best descriptions I saw of this album is that somebody, this is a, a comment on Reddit. They were describing this to their dad as the dark side of the moon of the

[45:01]2010s critically and commercially successful without ever hitting full zeitgeist. But everyone who really dove in and gave the album a shot as a lasting fondness for it. And the memories of many shared nights or days listening with friends, lovers of themselves is a journey of an album. And I can easily see it sort of being a mainstream, but firm cult classic. And I think when I was listening to this album, I was also tracking the lyrics. And I think the dark side of a moon, dark side of the moon is a great comparison for this album of like the more you learn about the album, the more you get into it, the more it has to give you thoughts.

[45:31]Man, it's hard to top what you said, Rob. I am. Yeah. I love this album. I've listened to it a lot. And the thing for me about this album that I really remember is it came out in 2016. This was one of the last times in my life that I was really checking for new music. So I remember when this came out, I remember being stoked that there was a new Frank Ocean album out. You know, we listened to it a ton in the house. I spent a lot of time listening to it. A lot of time texting with my brother about it. We've been texting again this week as it came back up.

[46:00]So yeah, for me, I remember it really well. Somehow it also makes me think of Radiohead. I don't know why. Maybe it's the kind of like ambient atmospheric stuff that's going on. Different changes. Yeah. I think it's, there's a lot of, there's a, there's a lot of comments that have referred to it as, you know, kid A-esque and stuff like that. So no, I think so. The best description, I know we'll get into it here shortly, but for the, my people, the best description, some lady named Ann Powers, I think she's from NPR, described it as equal parts psychedelic indie rock,

[46:30]post IDM electronica, post U2, Coldplay-esque Eno, referring to Brian Eno, pop, post Drake hip hop, and post Maxwell, Drifty Soul, which is kind of like, I mean, if you look at all the people that are on this and we'll get into it, it is a melting pot of like everything that was ever cool in my life. I don't know, you know, with all this stuff. And so I don't know, it's pretty good. This is one of the first albums where if you asked me to listen to it and then say, classify this record, where should we put this in the record shop? I'd be like, I haven't, I have like, don't,

[47:00]don't classify. What do you think? What do you think is the closest thing we've heard compared to this so far? Or what would you, what would you compare on the list? What is the closest album you think? I mean, I, I'm going to say this because Rob mentioned Brian Wilson, but I mean, I pet sounds comes to mind. And of course, voodoo comes to voodoo. Of course comes to mind. And like maybe, maybe tribe in a way. I mean, obviously they're much more rhythm oriented, but I think there's, you know, pieces of that kind of like esoteric thing. I hear a ton of D'Angelo on this,

[47:30]a ton where it's just like simple guitar voice combination and kind of relying on this, the brilliant vocals and the lyrics that, you know, are a little bit deeper than they first seem. I think, I think that's a great one. That's a great, I don't know, Russell, what would Russell, what would you say? Like, what would you compare it to? I would say it's the, the offspring of radio head and D'Angelo. If, if radio head D'Angelo had a, had a night out on the town and it got out of control, I'm going to say that's, this is, this is where this came for me. Wow. Can you imagine if radio head and D'Angelo were your parents?

[48:00]That'd be a hell of a way to grow up. Oh, just the hottest dad. Can you imagine having a hot dad? Just picture right now, having a dad like D'Angelo. Like when your dad walks in, you're like, damn, he's got some cum gutters on him. Like that is a, that is a crazy dad to have. No, thanks. You know what I mean? Tell them all your dates. Yeah. I'll take my dad's dad style. Thank you very much. I bet he stopped eating. He stopped eating Chipotle a long, long time ago, Matt, right? Yeah. To have those abs, there's no Chipotle runs going on. No, he started again though. He couldn't, you can't,

[48:30]you can't, you can't maintain that. That's the, that's the one thing that makes regular guys feel better about that. It's like, he doesn't look like that anymore. And like all respect to D'Angelo, you know that he is one of my gods, but he, you can't look that way your whole life. But he did like, I think if I could go back in time and tell myself one thing, okay, number one, I'd say don't do the passwords thing. Number two, I'd do the kissing bit. But number three, I'd be like, what's the kissing bit where I try to kiss myself. I'd be like, take nude pictures of yourself. Now don't do it now.

[49:01]You're 20 years old. You're playing college football. Take, you don't think you look good, but guess what? You really do. Okay. So put that camera, put that big ass old digital camera. You have with a big ass car that you put in there. That takes like 30 photos, put it on a tripod, set a timer, touch your toes, take some pictures. Let's go. Let's get this done. And speaking of toes, let's get into Nike's. Hey, wouldn't that be great though? If all I had were these pictures of me bent over and I'm like, why did I take these terrible advice for my future self?

[49:31]Actually, even this snare sound is reminiscent of voodoo to me. So this song is all about materialism. And in the video, the song actually has two different voices that are going back and forth. And it's really interesting because do you know what famous time this video, if you watch this video, he really is replicating the hail bop, a heaven's gate cult, which is one of my, all time top cults. It's one of my favorite calls of all time.

[50:00]They found all those guys that had off themselves and they're all wearing the sweatpants and the Nike's. I was like, Ooh, shoes in bed. That is a hot move. Like I was like, Ooh, that is a, do we have a list of Rob's favorite? I would assume it's based on the performance of the fuck fest, right? It's been a while. We got into a good fuck fest conversation, but yeah, but, but see, that's the thing is that these guys, and that's, what's fascinating about these cults. They were the opposite of a fuck fest. Russell, almost all the male members of this cults were castrated. The heaven's gate guys were castrated.

[50:30]It's the one thing I remember about them is that they were like, Hey, I got these new friends. I love hanging out with my bros. They want me to cut my balls off. So I'm going to do it. I think it's a good idea. We're going to hang out. Like, can you imagine hanging out with people? So awesome. It's so fun to be with. They're like, Hey, you need to cut off your balls. And you're like, it seems like a good idea, bro. I think I'm going to do it. Let's go get our balls. Like, where do you even do that? Am I the only one of the four of us who's done? I thought that was the thing to do for this. You guys told me I tied. Have you guys thought about getting a vasectomy? We were supposed to do that.

[51:00]I don't understand. Have you guys thought about this is terrible. Why do we? Oh my God. Don't do that joke. What have you guys thought about getting a vasectomy? We're not talking. Why not? Cause we're not that dad strong on this. Like, come on. He does talk about hitting it wrong multiple times on this album. So I hear where you're going with this Rob, but I mean, I just, I like hanging out. I like hanging out with you guys, but I don't know if you said, let's get castrated. I would have to think about it. Plus what do you, cause you know how they do like castrate bulls. They put a rubber band around it till they just fall off. Like,

[51:30]is that what you do? You do the old finger trick and turns blue. I think I'd rather, I think I'd rather go on a bachelor party and get poison Ivy instead. Actually true story. You know, that's a true story. That was me. That's how I got poison Ivy the night before my wedding. Oh, I know. And it's a good transition to song too. Yeah, totally did. I'd put on makeup for my wedding. Disaster. This has that, this has that same quality that, that actually I think a lot of pet sons does where you're like, I don't know what instrument this is. Like it's probably a guitar,

[52:00]but it's going through a bunch of distortion and so much of the record. You're just like, I don't know what instrument that is. And then you read the credits and Matt alluded to this. We're going to get to it on the next track. This album was made by a thousand people. And I think he was calling in favors. I didn't even know until he started reading about him for this album that he was, you know, he'd been writing songs for people like Beyonce well before he released channel orange. And he was well, you know, established in the industry. And I always thought this was like his big solo project. Like it was a passion project for him.

[52:30]And it turns out it was like a huge team behind him, which is also, so who else was on this year? Beyonce did some backup vocals for else producing Andre 3000. Who else is on this one that we need to know about? I think Kanye produced James Blake is on here. John, I don't know if you say John Brien or John Brian, but the guy who worked on a graduation with Kanye and also did the punch drunk love soundtrack. He's on here. Um, people are forgetting Pharrell. Right. Just worked with a ton of people. And by the way, earlier when I said that the albums, the first album was named orange,

[53:01]what I really meant to say was what again, Aaron channel, channel orange. And I said that you probably didn't hear me. It kind of got lost in the mix a little bit. So don't worry about that. I didn't correct you. I don't have colors, pink and white. I mean, so much of this song, right. Is about him and early loves and thinking about, I mean, it's really like this podcast, right? It's talking about Russell's disastrous, but it's Frank Ocean. It just feels like you're flying. And like, what a power move. Like I'm going to put Beyonce on my song,

[53:30]but I'm going to bury her vocals in the mix. I'm not even going to credit her on the album. Yeah. It's like spilling the drink for the bartender. You asked Russell, we heard of this and I think, and it's coming to me now that everybody said Andre 3000, but it's, I think there's a lot of outcast in this, you know, how they start off a lot of this stuff. So that's what I, I like the outcast call out, man, because it's not just, it's not just the sound. It's, it's, you know, we forget this came out in 2016 when he had, he had been part of odd future, which was a hip hop collective,

[54:00]as Rob mentioned. And it was okay by now, or maybe not. Okay. But it wasn't so out of left field to be like weird in hip hop or to be, you know, kind of blending genres and hip hop. And that's in part because outcast had done it 15 years before, you know, I'm reading other than, you know, Tyler, the creator, right? Like he was with this different, set on the hip, you know, so there's all these people, like you said, I have to say the one, the one thing I knew about Frank Ocean before listening to this album is that he was a queer voice in hip hop.

[54:30]And so I was expecting that to come up over and over on this album. It, it, I mean, it's infused throughout the whole thing, obviously like deeply, that's a deep part of it, but it's not, there's no overt. I thought it was going to be like this, you know, whole recollection. I mean, what does he say? The word gay once in this whole thing, like it's, it's, yeah, it really is kind of just, it's, it's, you have to really be listening for it. And if you didn't know his story, you wouldn't think of it. It's true. Be yourself. College students have gone to college. Yes. This was fantastic. You guys should listen.

[55:01]Listen, stop trying to be somebody else. Okay. Try to be someone else. No, tell them. And know that that's good. Yes. Yes. Don't try to be someone else. Okay, guys, I'm not going to hold someone else. Don't try. You know what? I'm not going to hold back anymore. I'm going to be myself on this podcast. I've been too laid back. I've been trying to, we've been waiting for you to start it into a mold. Okay. We're going to get hardcore with some of the stuff. I believe that was fantastic.

[55:30]I loved it. I don't know what it is normally. I don't like kind of the skits or whatever you want to call that. Or, but I just thought it was really cool. You start listening to it. It's just, I could hear Rob's mom telling him the whole time. Don't do this. Don't do that. And then the whole time, him just smiling, knowing he's going to do it. Oh yeah. What's the last half of that message? How does it end? What's the last thing she's telling him to stay away from? Oh, drugs. Don't do drugs. It's very bad. Oh, marijuana, marijuana, marijuana makes you dumb and slow and not care about the world or something.

[56:01]Unconcerned. Unconcerned. Unconcerned. Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't we all love to go through life unconcerned though? Imagine the freedom in that. That's what they do. That did the guy who got in an office space, he got hypnotized and he could care less. It's true. If you didn't care about stuff, life would be, and there's people like that. Right. Where they just go through life and they couldn't care less what other people think of them. They couldn't care less about anybody around them. It would be so freeing to be like that. Just like Aaron's favorite star Wars movie solo.

[56:30]It's true. There are multiple star Wars. I love this song. I thought this voice is unbelievable. Watch my Jagger. This whole album is just full of quotables, but to say, watch my Jagger is just like, it's such a cool way to talk about how you move your pants. Pelvis, right? That's so cool to think of that. Yeah. And I think, yeah, if there's, if there's like a hit off this album, it's probably this one to me, but I don't know. Maybe that's just me. Move my Jagger.

[57:03]Russell knows what I'm talking about there. Skyline two. I like going on journeys with you guys. This actually does sound like dark side. The kind of sense and, and the double headphone album for sure. Oh yes. Oh, both in both ears. Yeah. Oh, can we, can we start over? I'm gonna try that. Both ears.

[57:30]You have to, yeah. Don't listen to this in one ear. It's like me when I'm making burgers in the summer, you got to have two ears of corn. Oh my God. Disaster. Disaster. I knew when I started that sentence, it was going to be bad. And I kept going. I was like, I can get through this. Your ears are an important tool when you're cooking though. Like if you ever try to cook with headphones and you shouldn't do it. Cause you got to be able to hear what's going on with the food, man. That's a good point, Aaron. I love it. And plus you got to hear when the front desk calls and says, Hey, that food you ordered has been delivered. Send some kid down to pick it up, please. Self-control. Oh,

[58:01]this one stabs me in the heart every time. It's about a, keep a place for me. It's about a relation, break your relationship, breaking up because the other person is too immature. I just think it's beautiful, Russell. And I think, yeah, when they say keep a place for me and you made me lose my self-control and I did such a beautiful, that's all it is to me. And then he says, I know you got to leave. I know you got someone coming. He's like, this is like when Rob got broke up at the basketball game when he wore the sweater vest and then he had to drive real fast.

[58:31]He lost his self-control. Look at Rob's getting sad. I don't even like watching Rob like this, but you need to move into the next song. I'm telling you, I don't like seeing sad Rob when he's thinking about that. The only thing that's good is that's the only time cardiovascular. That's the only time in my life I lost self-control. So that's, that's one thing that helps me out. I've never, ever done anything else that I regret almost instantly. Actually, like when security comes and they find you naked in a window in college, just wearing shoes and socks, you're like, I have, I have regrets.

[59:00]You got shoes and socks on. Well, yeah. So I could run fast. I was flying. Yeah, I was flying and it was cold. So everything was uptight. So I could really move around. All right. What is one thing? Do you guys ever have, do you have something in your life where you just, it's a test of your self-control like all the time and you constantly are victorious over it. I had that at work where they have a candy dish and it's like literally two feet from me and it's full of mint peppermint patties, just an all timer for an end of a workday. Such a gross candy. It's so good. I love it so much for you to say you won't eat milk duds,

[59:31]but you'll eat the peppermint patties. Like you've got to look yourself for you to even compare peppermint patties to milk duds is so fucked that you would even use those in the same sentence. Like there's not even chocolate on a peppermint patty. It's all that weird minty stuff. Are you guys seriously right now? Not liking peppermint patties. It's, it's only ice cream, but won't eat vanilla ice cream or strawberry ice cream. So this is coming from, just remember who it's coming from. We had strawberry ice cream on Saturday night. It is so good. That is fucked.

[60:00]You had strawberry ice cream. That is so bad. Like literally it should be when you go to Russell's gas station and they're out of all the other ice creams and you have to get strawberry ice cream. That's the only time you should get it. My number one test of my willpower is pizza. And my son's school is now across the street from a New York style pizza place. Don't, don't start. It's in Berkeley, but it's, yeah. So you can only get what, like a 20 inch pie. And so like, I really should only eat two slices at most. Right. But those slices are just staring you in the face.

[60:30]Like you can just fold them up and keep eating them until you feel terrible. And you got to lie down on the couch. That's, that's it for me. So let me get this straight. You're dropping off your son at school. This is like eight in the morning. You are then going over to the pizza place and be like, damn, going to have to get one of those pies. No, unfortunately they don't open till 11, but what we can do is we can order. Your son's school doesn't open till 11. The pizza place. What a shitty school. No, you order a half 11 to one. You order a half baked pizza. You pick him up at school at four o'clock.

[61:00]You tell him we're going to go get pizza. He's super stoked. You walk across, you pick up the pizza. Everyone at the pizza place is so stoned. Both the patrons and the guys working there. My son's stoked because it's full of teenagers. Yeah. Take it home, throw it in the oven. It's ready in 10 minutes. And then we get these big honking slices of pizza. And yeah, I just, I want to eat. I want to eat four of them, but I really should only eat two. I probably should only eat one. Those peppermint patties. I only have after my last class of the day. I'm like, I will wait until the last class of the day and I pull it off almost every day.

[61:31]And I'm so proud of myself when I do it. I'm like, kudos, man. That's not easy. What a sad life. You have to go through like discipline to like not eat this peppermint patties. It's just a sad life. I feel bad for you. I'm legit mad at you for not liking peppermint patties. Like they're so good. They're so delicious for you. So if you're, you're, you're seriously telling me if you had like four milk duds or one of those mini peppermint patties, you would pick the milk duds. I think if you, if you left me the peppermint patties, I don't even think I would eat them. And I eat all that shit.

[62:01]If they were available, I think the peppermint patties get tossed away. I think it's a bottom five candy. Cause what about that weird feeling? Yeah. Like you eat three of them and your throat feels cold. You try to drink a glass of water and then you feel terrible. I don't like it, man. It's too minty. It's too strong. I'm not even going to ask you guys what you think about junior mints. Cause I don't think I want to hear it. I think they're bad too. I feel like the podcast might be breaking up. Matt, what's your thought on your peppermint patties? Love them. And I love junior mints. Yeah. Fuck you guys. Matt and I forever. All right. Matt, you know what you are? You're a good guy.

[62:31]Good segue. Good segue. Oh. I do. I love the organ. Anytime the organ comes in on this album, I'm in. I feel like I'm going to start turning into Rob here and start tearing up. This kind of, it really hits you, doesn't it? I'm telling you. I'm telling you, man, this thing straight in the cardiovascular. Did you know what happens if you play that song? Good guy backwards. What's that? It's so weird. Listen to this. See if you can pick out.

[63:02]I'm so good at taking a joke and making it just a little bit longer. Not a good guy. It's a bad guy. Oh, it's a bad guy. I hear it. You played it backwards. So it's like the opposite. Cause I played it backwards. I don't know. Is Billy Eilish on the list? This album should be on the list. Yeah, she's on the list. All right. Oh, she will be when they redo it in three years, guys. And we're fucked. She's already. We know lemonade will be number one at that point, right? Like lemonade is, is definitely hitting the top spot at some point on this list.

[63:30]If you guys ever had a chance to do jousting in your life, would you do it? Do you think just once? Yes. Yes. I would love to see Eric get his ass kicked at jousting. Just getting his ass tossed off a horse by a bunch of. Of course I'd get my ass kicked, but I'd try it. Nights. Oh, this is the one that has the change in pace. I was wrong earlier. So listen to this change. Right there is the exact middle of the album. And we switched tempos here.

[64:01]Right. And all of a sudden we get the trap drums in there. Yes. Maxwell. Ah, there you go. And then we go to one of the most unbelievable. Aaron was talking something about freestyle earlier. I heard a couple of words. I think I got what's going on. Listen to the bars by Andre 3000 on the reprise. Of solo here. So now I'm solo that I can see under the skirt of. Oh, that I don't get high no more. When I try no more, I should go. Solo. My cup is a little, my total, my friend solo that I can admit when I hear that another kid is shot by the

[64:32]purple. It ain't an event. Do yourself a favor. Look up the lyrics of this song. Yes. It just starts with solo. I can see under the skirt of an aunt. And I know what you're thinking. Won't your uncle be mad? You sick pervs. I don't even know what reprise means, but I feel like a reprise. I don't even know what reprise means, but I feel like a reprise shouldn't be as good as that, right? No. I mean, he absolutely just crushes it. Like that's everything. And I don't even know if he's wrapped like that since, honestly. I mean, that might be the last time he really just went on a, you know,

[65:00]I mean, international players anthem might've come after this, which is my favorite rappers of all time. But this thing of just like the construction and the word play and the political commentary, and then also tearing down every other rapper who doesn't write their own bars. I mean, he's on one. It shows you how good Frank Ocean is that this isn't a total renegade situation. Okay. Yeah. He did not get renegaded. Yeah. Guys, that was pretty sweet of me to think. I thought this was, I thought that was going to get a little too real for Rob being that Aaron writes all of Rob's parody songs and he's the ghostwriter on all his parody

[65:32]songs. I didn't know if Rob was going to be able to handle that. I can't even go along with that joke. I could never. Aaron's like, I do. I am a peeping Tom. I should put that in a song. I think that's a really good idea. That would be pretty sweet. This is kind of a change up, isn't it? This is a little bit different than everything else on the album. It's like Prince. They said that this was inspired a little bit by the Beatles. This is part of the thing that,

[66:00]and you can hear that day in the life. I can hear it. Oh yeah. Kind of thing. No, you're right. You're right. And now I think, is this the first time that Facebook has been mentioned explicitly on the list that we've had Facebook story? I might've been in that Bob Newhart one that we covered. It was right after it's baseball. That's true. It's true. Here's the thing. Like they can poke you, but you don't want them to poke you, but you can watch each other, but you don't want to be poked. Yeah. I mean, it's a website where you rank how hot people are,

[66:30]but it's not about how hot they are. It's about if you like them and your friends, it's not about how hot the ladies are. And you're going to push like, even if you don't really like it, but just to be polite, it's more of a polite like, but I forgot about the poking. That's hard to do. Um, close to you. Oh yeah. I used to get on Facebook and people would poke me and I'd be like, you fucking weirdos. This is where he did this a lot more. He did this a lot more on channel orange where he's interpolating other songs and he kind of starts to do it more at the end of this album, like more,

[67:00]uh, interpolating other stuff. I read that it was Stevie wonder covered Burt Baccarat. And then, so he's doing Stevie's version of a Burt Baccarat song. Right. But when I heard this song, like one thing you heard through it, like the album that really jumped out to me is kind of those like distorted vocals. Like we've talked about the chipmunk soul before, but, and we've heard, and we've heard Radiohead, some other bands have kind of had those distorted vocals, but I started reading. So he was using something called a vocoder, which essentially turns, alters the sound a little bit. And that actually started, you guys know,

[67:30]a vocoder was used in world war two to disguise audio transmissions. And then it became this big part of like seventies and eighties music. So I thought we could do a list of the greatest songs ever that feature vocoder vocals. I'm excited. Russell, how do you, I don't know. Every time we do this, you come up with something. I'm stoked for this list. You know, it's amazing. Cause if I could find like a vocoder thing on garage band, you know, I would say something like,

[68:00]and you're going to hear whether or not I found that plug in on a garage band. You're going to hear that. But, but there's a lot of tracks of this album where he's got the distorted vocals, right? There's probably four or five of them. Tons. Yeah. So we've, we've talked about these before. I think, I'll, I'll cast had some like this California love. We were talking about earlier. There's the beginning. Yeah. Right there. Right. Kanye uses them. You know, I would, one, one group that is not going to make the list tonight is Daft Punk

[68:30]and Daft Punk has a lot of these, but I read a great quote about Daft Punk. So they don't make the list. And someone said, Daft Punk, this is how their voices really sound. If you tried to vocode their actual voices, it would make them sound like humans. People think they're actually robots, so they don't make the list. All right, get them out. But first song on the list. I've heard this before. I never knew who it was. I never knew what the song was, but I've heard it before. I bet you guys have too. And we had to just put it on here. This is Laurie Anderson.

[69:00]Oh, Superman from 1981. You know this? I, yeah, man, I learned this in music history class. Shout out to Alice Hansen, St. Olaf college recipes. Why have I heard this? Like, do you know this song? No, never heard this. Aaron, you know this, don't you? I do. We studied it. We studied it in music school in college. Yes, this was like, this was hard. This was an art song. You fucking studied this in school? I was memorizing like the different bones in a foot. Fuck me. I should have done this shit. Here come the planes. They're American planes.

[69:31]Yeah, we totally studied this, man. She's married to somebody famous. She was married to someone famous too. I can't remember. Lou Reed. Yeah, there you go. There you go, Russell. Nice. She was married to Lou Reed, but I heard a lot of people think when you listen to the beginning of Kid A, they hear something similar there. And like, when I went back and listened to it, remember the, the beginning of Kid A, I don't remember the track name or whatever, but there was something that really resonated with me with that and being Kid A. But I was like, I've heard that song before. She's influential. She's a performance artist. Yeah. Russell, that's great. Jesus Christ.

[70:01]Russell and Aaron, man, you and me, we're on a double day right now for sure. Next song on the list. I didn't look that happy about that. I got to say. No, he didn't. Next song on the list. We're going to say early eighties. This is earth, wind and fire. Let's groove tonight. Check this. This one out. Yes. Yes. Is that a moog bass too? I don't know if it's a moog bass, but that is a vocoder on the,

[70:30]on the, the vocals. It's so good. One thing I had to ask Aaron about for this, Aaron, you're, you're a big, uh, George Clinton guy. I read that there was actually a big rivalry between earth, wind and fire and the funkadelic. Really? It was really one sided. And supposedly George Clinton, um, made fun of them a lot. And he would, he would mock their band, like on the cover of his albums. And what, at one point he said, you guys will love this. He goes about earth, wind and fire. It's earth, hot air and no fire. Oh, I mean,

[71:00]they were more radio friendly. And I, um, I, my guy quest love did one time on one of his, uh, YouTube sets. He, I, I don't know if I don't recall the exact names of who was actually playing the instruments, but, uh, quest love did one time insinuate that perhaps, uh, there were maybe some ghost players, on the, on the earth, wind and fire albums that they might've been more manufactured for, uh, for pop music for, to sell records. And then the, and the other artists were playing most of the instruments in the studio. So,

[71:30]I mean, maybe George Clinton was on to something. That's the worst burned of all time, right? Yeah. You got to say earth, wind. How about this earth break, wind and fire crotch. Oh, I don't think. Wow. That was strong. That was really harsh. Thumbs up. He's so glad he's my date. Wow. What a great burn. Yeah. Crotch. Has anybody said that since 1992? Do you think probably not next up on the list is a group called zap.

[72:00]We talked about them once before they sang more bounce for the ounce. And you remember, remember this one, but this song, whether, whether Jenny's in town or out of town for Rob, it's all about computer love. I love this song. It's a song that I listen to every Friday. Uh, Neo has Neo covered this recently. This is a Tupac cover recently. Yeah, he did. Didn't he? I remember the first time I got a laptop and I was like, I don't have to sit at the family computer.

[72:33]Like I can take this thing anywhere. It blew my mind. It was like, I was like, like I can't, I looked like Popeye with one arm on one arm. I was like, it was crazy. It opened my world. All right. Next up on the list. Is a group called Kano. The song is called I'm ready. Rob, if you can jump to about two minutes in this, we got to listen to the vocoder verse, but I'm going to share something with you guys on this one. A little boy,

[73:02]how altered vocals. If I could do a robot voice, I would be so tempted just to be like, look at my metallic dong. I was programmed by me. I am a sex robot. I am programmed to fuck a lot. Like you would just say that over and over in a robot. Our listeners have heard the okay computer album. We know the kinds of things you say when you have access to a computer voice. A horny robot is the funniest thing in the entire world. You know what I mean? Please let me feel your bra. Like it's,

[73:30]it's so funny. Just, just feeling up that bra. Just like, I'm just imagining Rob's like rubbing on the, on the strap. Don't have the strap. I'm talking about like the back or like the undercarriage. I don't know what I'm doing. The strap. I like the strap way up here. The robot would be like, I can, I have, what would it be? My, I can move this dongle and spell all 26 letters of the alphabet. I have a friend. 2.0.

[74:00]Rob, what robot is your rule 34 or whatever robot where you, you, you need to see their, Oh, I've said it before. Pictures on the internet. Is it Rosie? Yeah, it's Rosie from the Jeffersons. It's the maid. Hot. One wheel. I thought it was going to be Johnny five alive. Need more input. I'll give you some input. So one thing we need to do on this song is Rob jumped to the beginning. I give you an earlier time queue for this one. Jump to the beginning and check this out and see if you guys recognize it. You guys recognize that beat?

[74:34]Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Here we go. Here we go back again, right? This is who tag team. There would be no such thing as tag team. Whoop. There it is. Without this Italian disco, a project called Kano. Isn't that beautiful? That's beautiful. It was really, really digging in the crates. Mama. Do you want to live in a world where there was no tag team? No, definitely not. No, no, it's a me.

[75:00]It's a Mario. Back it up. Back it up. Let me begin. No way. That's a different song. What song am I? What are you talking about? You were doing a house. I came to a mashup with that'll be a tag team back again. Check it. You reckon let's begin. Party. Party. Here's the noise. Yeah. Now imagine that tag team is Mario and Luigi. And then you have that Italian techno band. Has that been on any of your purple links? Rob rule 34, Mario and Luigi tag teams.

[75:31]You don't even want to know what I'm looking at guys. You really don't. Ugly dad. You know what I mean? It's like ugly dad. You put that in. Rob's going to go through the Valentine section and see the Mario brothers. Valentine's. And he's not going to be able to ever see it. So you don't say busy. No. All right. Next song on the list. I don't think we've ever covered this band before. It's yellow. Mr. Blue sky. Check out the vocal vocoder on this one. Yes.

[76:00]Oh, I don't even remember this part of the song. Do you guys? No, no, I don't remember any parts of me. This is never heard this song before. You don't know Mr. Blue sky. No, you really don't know Mr. Blue sky. You've never heard that song. Never heard that. No, you guys are fucked it. Ross. This is fucked up shit. You know what? I could put up with you not eating junior men's because that's messed up. They've never heard Mr. Blue sky. It's such a good song. They might not know that version of it,

[76:31]but maybe they know this version. And it turns out this band just covered Mr. Blue sky recently. It's Dr. Teeth and the electric mayhem. They just covered this song in October, 2021. Check it out. And they have the vocoder on here. I hear the vocoder. Way to go. Muppets. Russell. Another Muppets. The Muppets are my new favorite band. I am all in on Dr. Teeth and the electric mayhem. We should have made this a Muppets podcast.

[77:02]Muppets. Yeah, that would be the only answer. The Muppets did it better. Muppets did it better. If we did Muppets did it better, we would make enough money where I could definitely buy a white ferrari. I mean, this is pure poetry. Listen to this. I hear some of the weekend in this too. I know he's post this,

[77:32]but he was influenced. He took over this week. He took over the most downloaded on Spotify over Justin Bieber. He's not pretty good. The weekend's almost pretty good. Most songs played. We is white Ferrari. The one, where the, where Lennon McCartney got a writing credit. Cause he interpolates there and everywhere. Like one 45 in it's the same as the one Beatles song. One 45. If you go to one 45 in about there, it's supposedly it's taken right from here,

[78:00]there, and everywhere. Yeah, here it is. Yeah. And he did this a lot in his first mixtape and channel orange. And he did it less on this album, but he's kind of, kind of got a gift for like repurposing other people's melodies. He most beautiful, beautiful song. There is beautiful than Anna. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. We're going to do a list. Matt, you're going to do a list of the most beautiful Beatles songs. Have you guys heard tax man? It's so good. It's such a good song. I love it.

[78:30]Beautiful Norwegian wood. I would say is a call. Siegfried. Oh no. My face got bit off by tiger. This was me when I was living in the garage. I'd rather chip. My brother. I read that this song was about not being as brave as what the traditional machismo defines. I was curious. What are your guys like current machismo things? What's the thing where you're like, Oh, this is where I got to show my manhood. Like what is, what is your machismo thing that you can't, that is always in your life.

[79:01]I've, uh, I got back into lifting a little bit, you know, being able to throw at least a plate on either side of the bench, you know, that's kind of a, I mean, you can walk around and see people. So, you know, something like that, doing squats again, you know, I think it's weightlifting. Weightlifting for me too. But for me, it's wearing really tight pants when I'm lifting. Cause I'm such a big guy and me wearing skin tight, Lycra, like stretch pants is such an alpha move of like, yeah, guess what? I'm a big guy. You don't want to see this, but you're going to see it. I mean, I think,

[79:30]yeah, like definitely like trying to throw something heavy around is like, that's, that's a dream for me. And the thing is like, I'm, you know, I'm just, I'm with my family all the time and they're not impressed with my, my machismo efforts. No, no, no, no. What about when you climbed the tree, when you had to climb a tree for your family, stuck in a tree, right? I got to know, you know, like being able to like jump rope for a minute. That's pretty good. Right. Jumping rope for a whole minute without stopping. That's pretty good. That's pretty tough. That's pretty good. It's not, I know. Cause at my Muay Thai lessons,

[80:00]they would make us jump rope and it was private lessons. My wife and I were paid money to do private lessons. And when the guy would turn his back, my wife and I would both just stop jump roping. Like we could have said, no, we're not going to jump rope. We were paying you. We are not going to jump rope. But instead we're like, it was like gym class. Like the gym teachers back. We're like, just sit there like this. And they're like, Oh, Oh, wow. Terrible. It's not that easy, but I can't, I know I haven't tried this for a long time, but I know that I could eat a whole chicken. And I'm not talking about like a tiny chicken. I'm talking about like a four pound chicken. Like I'm sure I could eat a whole chicken.

[80:31]That would be the, for me, that'd be a show up in my cheese mouth, but I never get the chance to do it. A whole chicken. That's crazy. Four whole chickens. That is crazy. That is crazy that you could eat a whole chicken. No problem. And then just like walk, walk five miles. Easy. I know I could. Oh my God. Walk five miles. That's craziness. I get it. I like how you put the less impressive thing. Second, no, no, walk five miles. And then guess what? I'd go to sleep at night. Whoa. What the fuck? This guy.

[81:00]Grab some pink horsepower. And then my lady's in trouble. You know what I'm saying? Godspeed. I like how, I like how on Bull Siegfried and Godspeed, he's really letting his voice go. Like he hasn't gone to the limits and just done it. Like kind of naked without any, any vocoder on the voice. And as he gets to the end, he's like, he's out there. I like it. This might surprise you. This one is about a breakup. This guy is the Taylor Swift. And then the keys come in.

[81:30]That's the John Brien stuff. I love, this is, this is what I'm talking about when I'm saying production of like, a perfect production. It sounds great. They've got it. That, they've got it big time. Pristine. Yes. Yes. This is how I want to hear a feature film. Like everything, everything's in place. And Futura free to end the album. This is not sure about this one as a closer,

[82:00]like why was this interview questions where the brothers just asking the questions. That's at the very end. You're all fast forward to that. All right. What three superpowers do you wish you had? So the brother's asking some hip hop group, these questions and the brother he put on Twitter after this album came out, he goes, Oh my God, I was 11 years old during that interview. I can't believe he used that. My voice is so high. Like, can you imagine if they put off my little radio shows I used to do when I was like 10 or whatever?

[82:31]And they put those out as are those recorded and you're just now telling us about them. I'm sure they are somewhere, but I can tell you what they are. They're just SNL skits from the night before that I would literally do word for word. And be like, well, that's humor. I mean, can you imagine just copying jokes, the same jokes over and over ridiculous. What do you guys think of that as the end? Like a few weeks ago, I don't know when it was. We did the, the who, where they have the, the CSI song at the end where it's got the absolute crush. What do you guys think of this as the closing song on the album? I don't know. I mean, the whole point of this album,

[83:00]right. Is it's like a drug trip. You're going up high and then you're coming down at the end. And I think that's a perfect ending for something like that. It's like, it's just, it's just, you, it's not, I mean, it's not a high energy album. No. Right. I mean, so it kind of, I don't mind the exit, I guess, if you will, but I think it works. But for me, Godspeed is just so good. But then I just be like, why wouldn't you just make that your last statement? Like, it's such a great statement, but I don't, I don't mind it. I think Frank gets to do exactly what he wants. All right.

[83:30]Let's get into everybody's favorite part of the show. The popular and patented countdown. It's like a Dracula in the elevator. It's countdown. This is number 79 on the list. Frank Ocean blonde. And here's the thing. You have to think about this Rolling Stone list like you would a cult like Heaven's Gate, right? So if this album,

[84:00]if this is exactly what you want, like this is an album, this is at 79. This is rolling well toned. It's perfect. Guess what? Boys want to go get castrated. You're going to go with them. It's a great time to do it. This is exactly what you want to do. It blends in perfectly. That is 79th on the list. That is a rolling well toned. If this album, you would get castrated with it to hang out with the boys. Is this a rolling grown? You don't like it. You go to the cult. You see the Nikes they're wearing. Okay. And they're talking about wearing them in bed. You're wearing your shoes in bed. That is sick behavior. You should not be doing that.

[84:30]Aaron, even with your house shoes is not wearing those things in bed. He knows better. He's not a total animal. So that would be a rolling grown if it should not be at 79. It should have been a higher up on the list or off at all. Or is this a rolling boned? This should have been way higher on the list. Okay. This cult is so much better than you thought you get to hang out. Okay. It turns out there's fucking aliens behind the comment. It makes perfect sense. All right, Matt, what do you think? Rolling well toned, rolling boned or rolling grown Frank oceans blonde.

[85:01]I could not believe how many people were huge. People had their name attached to this album. Wait a minute. Yeah. People involved in the 6,000. It turns out having a wife and kids was a real bummer. I'd rather be recording music. Thank you. That's a little bit right. He is like, I honestly, when the first time I heard it, I felt like it was more of just a straight up Frank ocean album.

[85:33]You know, I didn't know there was all of these same. Yeah. Huge, huge people. That were attached to it. So I don't know. It's kind of funny. It's Pharrell. Look at the size of this fucking hat. Which is the most of the reference I have for him. Thank you. So the, so the more I listened to it, the more you kind of hear some of the other, the nuances get pulled out. And I realized why it's up here at 79. So I think it's rolling well tone. I think it's a represents a lot of the music from the 2010s,

[86:03]you know, kind of a cliche to say, but avant-garde way. And so, I don't know. I think it's, I think it's fits in well here at 79. Rosie, what do you think? Rolling well, toned rolling bone or rolling grown? Yeah, it was hard. I was going to say that I can't rank this album because it is one that, that means something to me personally. I remember when it came out, as I said, I remember talking with my family about it. I remember listening to it with my wife. So I thought I can't possibly rank this album,

[86:31]but I put it on today's Monday. I put it on on Saturday. I listened to it three times on Saturday. I think I made it. All the way through four times today. Today's Monday. I never get tired of this album. I could literally put it on, on repeat all day. I listened to channel orange one time in the interim. Otherwise I've just been spinning this for, I mean, Sunday I took a break, but I've been spinning it nonstop, never get tired of it. So that must mean that for me, it's, it's rolling boned again. I just want everybody to picture being a married Aaron. Just it's a wild,

[87:00]wild, wild trip. Crazy. He's flexing, climbing trees, making chickens, listening to the same album over and over and over. Especially when he gets all those pictures of the feet that you keep sending him, right? Like imagine what Aaron's wife at gmail.com has to deal with when like his phone's blowing up at two in the morning West coast time. And it's like pictures of, if you text me at 802-277-BECK, I will forward them to Aaron. That is a Beck to the bitter promise. Russell, what do you think? Rolling well-toned, rolling boned or rolling grown guys.

[87:31]I'm really torn on this. I loved all the instruments at first. When I listened to this, I didn't really love it. It was kind of a little, a little slow for me, but the more I listened to it, I really started enjoying it. And it feels to me like it depends on your mood. If you're in the mood to listen to kind of some, some, I don't know if I wouldn't know if you'd call this melancholy or a little sad, or I don't know what, how to describe it, but it's, it's just a little bit slower than what I typically am looking for in like an album that I'm really going to get into. So I was really, really torn on this.

[88:00]I liked it, but for me it had a little bit of that radio head feel where it was atmospheric music and a little bit sadder. And that's just, really not what I'm going for. I thought it was amazing, but it's not really my ideal. So I'm going to just say a slight rolling groan, but I thought it thought it was very fun to listen to respect. Unfortunately, you're all incorrect. This is a rolling relation ship relation relationship. Oh, I talked over my punchline. It's so rude. It turns out this album, the number one thing I can think of is how jealous I was with how many

[88:32]people Frank Ocean dated. He dated so many people to make this album. Like who? Well, he has like, he has like 20 songs on this about breakups. If I took all the people I dated, I could make an eight track at best. That would be, and it would probably be more like a single. It would be like that one person who made me wear the vest. And then you drove him real fast. Made her stick her tongue out. We already talked about that. Next up. That's such a weird thing. I'm not happy about it. I'm not proud. You stuck your tongue out.

[89:00]What was that part? I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's weird. You do. You need to talk about it. It's a weird kissing thing I did. Right. So I said, Hey, stick your tongue out. And I would suck on it. And I thought that was like, if my daughter came home and said, Hey, this is something my boyfriend said, I'd be like, Hey, guess what? Get the fuck out of there. That guy is psycho. Please. Let's get our baby. This is why people should listen to the,

[89:30]I don't know why I did it. I am of like all the things it's that. And, and it's the driving home fast thing where I said, if I'm so upset, I would drive home fast. I, I, I have so few regrets in my life. Those are two of the big ones though, of just how bad I was. But that's, that's what I tell my kids. You got to date as many people as you possibly can, because guess what? You cannot marry the person whose tongue you suck on. Otherwise you're sucking on that tongue. The rest of your life, like anniversary nights.

[90:00]She's like, okay, here we go. I'm going to stick out my tongue and you suck on it. And you're like, Oh yeah. Something special for daddy. You can't have that. That relationship. It has to be the past. You have to see that person on Facebook and be like, wow, they actually look like they're doing really well. And I'm happy for them because I bet every time they see me on Facebook, they're like, Jesus Christ, there's that guy who made me stick my tongue out and then sucked on it. Props to her for doing well and recovering. I know. What is my problem? What happened to her as a youth? What was I? Is this because I watched so much MTV, the grind. Do you think that's what it is?

[90:30]I watched a lot of MTV, the grind. I watched it all the time. Was that with Eric B? Or Eric, not Eric B. What was his name? Eric from the real world. Any males on there? I have no idea. Heather B. Her name is Heather B. May I refer you to Daisy Fuentes. Ooh, that's right. Daisy Fuentes. Next up. Now, Aaron, I know your kid is into using love blasters now. He's got the, he's making the Legos, but guess what? I got him a new Lego kit. I think he's going to like. Oh, it's a, it's a pair of sex pistols. Next up.

[91:00]It's nevermind the bollocks. It's the sex pistols on Beck who did it better. I love it. Wow. So good. What are those dad? Sex pistols. They're just, they're just sex pistols. Don't sweat me about it, dad. If you want to hear four guys who chat and then they get off track. I think it's the only album we're going to do where it's the only album of the band. It's interesting. Beck did it better. Aaron, I know I always get a little bit hostile when you don't work during the day,

[91:32]but the fact that you didn't work today and you spent your time ghostwriting Rob's comedy bit about how you like to suck on tongue. It was fantastic. So kudos to you. Thank you. Thank you. Rob. I got to know how seriously if Rob told us that one is the one he's embarrassed. What is the one you won't tell us about? What is the one that people got to stay on for the end to hear about? If you told us that one, maybe, maybe she had brushed her teeth and her tongue tasted like a junior mint. No, no,

[92:00]no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Maybe that was it. Shit. You're from Patty. Couldn't even pull the right candy for the joke. Bjork from Patty Bjork. I am. It's fun. Bjork from Patty. I love you. Bjork from Patty. It's so great. All right. Hear me scream.
