[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 back did it better from 1971 this is hunky dory by david bowie guys i i actually i screwed up and i was trying to find hunky dory uh like movies online and i found one um but it was a finding nemo porn parody

[01:03]and said that is the true hunky jesus then i would have won and all i won was 30 pieces of silver so actually i think i got the story reversed there i gotta go back and check but uh no but i saw that hunky dory porn parody and it was like oh no i need to find my stepmom in the ocean stepmom and she's yeah she was stuck oh no uh a school of bonefish oh uh i actually have quite a bit of these written down stepmom stuck in coral yeah i just wrote hammerhead shark question mark

[01:33]i'm not even sure if that's a joke but i wrote it um i didn't write it actually come up with these guys listen electric eel yeah we did that that's making me laugh but i can't quite put my finger on why uh all right so let's turn on k-rob k-rob k-r-o-b last week we learned one thing about aaron when he test drives a car he really drives that car oh yeah when aaron walks and he's out of breath

[02:05]his wife said did you fall off your bike again aaron's excited and tells her no the dealer finally has a car to show yes aaron wants a car that is cheap he won't buy it but he wants to lease and he goes to the dealership says can i test drive it please

[02:33]the dealer asks him how long he'll be gone here's the bill aaron lies and says not too long oh but it turns out it's not the truth his trust that was so old prolonged aaron's trust that takes a long time yes where did that new honda go yes i'm calling the now we see

[03:04]aaron driving up the west coast oh man dealership's about to close yes aaron still hasn't shown five hours test drive for his new car yes oh it's so good this is exactly how i felt driving down in the mid 80s yes might as well be a big rounds of guitar so

[03:32]roll down that moonroof let the wind blow through your non-existent hair some amazing vocal rage on that one rob yeah impressive well if you notice i did not take much of that more than once because i would not have been able to sing that high and even then it was if you really listen back it's questionable beck did it better welcome everybody to beck did better we are going through the rolling stone top 500 up listen i told you in the introduction i don't need to say it again but i've got three of my best friends right here that's right guys i said it i'm getting in touch with my emotions uh and my emotions are touching back

[04:08]uh i don't like that i don't like that i said that i've got are you lying down or are you standing are you standing up or are you lying down i've told you before when you do it standing up it is not relaxing you actually get really tired like i thought i was tired doing it lying down when you're standing up it's like muscular tired you're like you feel like you run a marathon you're like oh is this what usain bolt feels like

[04:30]and i'm doing that thing with my hands in the mirror like i'm looking like oh like i just finished uh never mind okay i got i got russell in minnesota so how are you doing guys there's no way this episode will be a saddening bore for we've recorded 87 times before so we spit in the eyes of the dumb shit listeners who text me saying that listening to rob's jokes is a chore yeah why is but we talking about spitting on people all the time he does it more than once on this album maybe that's his thing listen that way he had a lot

[05:04]of things yeah but i think that would be one where i i would say okay now that's one where if a girl said to me listen i want to spit on you oh no oh gee i no we're not gonna say no this episode i was gonna give you guys a little speech about that before the show but we're not gonna say no we're gonna roll with the punches and then if we need later i'm happy um yeah yes and uh it depends how good looking she is and then i would let her spit on me so there wasn't a lot there there wasn't like a big bit i had planned but it's just like

[05:30]can i spit on you i'd be like just but just don't say no to that bit yeah but that's another one too like once you get me can you imagine being a kink like couple that's married oh my god like where would you even find time to spit on each other they got a saturday you kidding farmer's market open tomorrow we gotta get going we can't stay up all night in each other's mouths forget about uh man minneapolis man how are you doing uh good i think i don't know man it's like spitting in mouths yeah it can't be the running uh no no no yeah great no good great rob thanks for having

[06:03]me yeah speaking of running jokes that you saying both joke from earlier uh and i've got aaron in california uh aaron who uh he he thinks that what he's doing is he's doing a lot of running jokes will smith did is unacceptable uh even if he was just going to take his mom and dad's car out for just a little drive okay here's the situation oh i like it topical they left the patient these beats man of course not of course you know what that taught me this will smith slapping

[06:33]person thing did aaron what did it teach you i'm sorry that i made fun of you for being bald okay i'm now i feel bad about it that's on me that i'm gonna come through the screen and slapping but aaron's wife at gmail.com might come through yeah aaron's gonna go are you gonna do something about this he keeps saying my head looks like a giant egg with glasses drawn on first time ever i wrote a joke for this this segment of the podcast i'm happy to be here with rob aka comedian chameleon corinthian and caricature

[07:02]let's talk about wow david bowie nice i have i have often uh said under my breath i'm a homo superior but uh a lot of people don't uh don't understand they don't read me like i gotta give way to the homo superior guys let's get right into our voicemail keep forgetting that's not really aaron there freaks me out hey boys it's krista just calling

[07:35]to let you know that you have reached a new level of fandom with the podcast when you're listening to the podcast i'm a homo superior i'm a homo superior i'm a homo superior i'm a homo superior listeners are starting to include you in their everyday life i received a text from another listener who's going to remain nameless and they were having extremely bad guests apparently and i texted back and said why and they said i don't know why and i said no why are you telling me

[08:00]and they didn't know why well that's like this overshare all the time and they said to um send sympathy for their partner and i said why don't you just take a shot of apple cider vinegar and if you don't know that can help kind of with digestion and all that people are known to take a shot they then responded and said i feel like russell making his drinks and sent a picture of red wine vinaigrette asking if that would be the same so

[08:34]you are now being mentioned just in passing and we can relate to russell's of having the proper ingredients um hope you all are doing well to be part of our listeners gastrointestinal journeys it's great like i just love that when they're dealing with stuff in their guts they're thinking about us i know can you imagine aaron picture our listenership okay it's a bunch of fat midwesterners who regularly debate what

[09:03]sort of ranch is best for their cheese curds all they're doing is going to the bathroom constantly like they're experts like oh my tummy hurts a good thing i'm gonna take a shot of that expert all i eat is dairy all day like get out of here maybe i can fit this mini fridge in the bathroom over in that corner and i know this because i'm their king okay i'm i'm i'm their hunky jesus you know what i mean it's the hunky new testament with me i know what they're praying to when things are getting rough in the bathroom well thank you so much for calling and talking

[09:33]about your friend's gas uh appreciate it i am sure that uh russell is going to continue i think russell by the end by the 500th episode is definitely going to have every ingredient that he's going to need for a fully functioning bar at some point right yeah he's going to get there for sure yeah as long as i have those as long as i have those pomegranate seeds or whatever figured out by the end of it i'll be i'll be happy that pomegranate disaster a few months back wasn't good let's get into rolling going it's it's it's time to see what everybody's up to it's time for

[10:06]rolling going oh yeah the introduction is so long like we're just all staring we haven't seen each other for like two weeks now and we're all just kind of everybody to write the rolling going it's well wait till the intro and then we'll jot down some notes aaron rolling going how's it going with you no aaron we actually take a lot of time to prepare this oh it's going great uh so firstly

[10:30]uh my family and i were in uh palm springs on vacation last week on preschool spring break and i've got i have a recommendation for our spring break yeah i mean he's he's off of preschool for a week so what are we gonna do stay at home we gotta go at spring break it's spring break like i can i can see us at like college being like it's spring break let's go to the beach and we're all like have a cooler we have all these beers and we just go there and it's just us and like 300 preschoolers who are just there totally unsupervised we're like we're

[11:00]like oh shit this is preschool spring break this is a total disaster why do we think this is going to be a good idea so yeah we went to palm springs we rented a house with a pool it was fantastic my son's favorite thing about palm springs was the air museum and the pearl harbor diorama narrated by tom brokaw we had to go to the air museum two times because he really really enjoyed watching the uh pearl harbor narrated by tom brokaw and i have a recommendation for our listeners there was a book at our rental by an author named justin kerr and it's called a place to bury

[11:31]strangers it is a fictional story about uh about joshua tree national park and the desert and if you're fascinated about the desert as i was at the time i got to recommend that but as you know no can we understand like you guys decided to take your son to some sort of world war ii memorial museum or what's going on here there was an air museum in palm springs and so i was like they got planes there and stuff so i was like yeah let's go check and he could like get inside a plane but he was he was really into uh this is truly the greatest generation now let's go home and watch

[12:06]this confirmation of a supreme court justice and he got really pissed at me because i wouldn't let him watch the full there was a history channel special playing in their little uh theater there there was a history channel special about pt boats and he got really pissed because he couldn't stay and watch the entire thing about pt boats what the fuck are you doing that you won't let your kids watch the pt boats are his favorite boat of all time he was like he was like oh i want to vote

[12:31]for john carrey so bad these people who drive these swift boats are so awesome and you're like how do you even get that reference i don't know right but instead he's like no we have to go we have to go learn about the desert teach your kid about the desert instead of awesome army boats you suck i took him back i took him back you will not sit in here and be silent in this museum keep on moving along yeah we went to their museum twice i took him back but more importantly as you guys know uh i never say the interesting thing first so i'm glad rob that you mentioned my new car

[13:02]in the opener because uh was a how did you know rob the last time we recorded was a friday night i had purchased the new car on friday the next day on saturday we were leaving the driveway on saturday at 4 4 30 p.m i love this i love my new car i can't see anything really when i'm going on my driveway

[13:31]there's no real windows on the side but other than that i love it i think it's gonna be just fine rob you totally got this nailed so we were leaving the driveway and we had both cars parked in the driveway oh no because we thought it was like like we had a real test tetris in there like we're like oh this is like yeah and you are not used to having two cars in the driveway that's like a no sir no we were a one car family so that's right um i pull out i'm trying very hard not to hit the old car because we're going to try to sell it so i don't want to scratch the old car so i'm trying i'm trying not to hit the the old car with the new car and we've got this like

[14:05]garden type thing outside of our house with like this retaining wall that's like 18 inches high i don't know how this happened but the front tires missed it the rear right rear tire ended up on top of this retaining wall no and it gets out of the car and it's just saying to me this is bad aaron this is bad yeah i get out to check it out and you're in the backs and you're in you're in the back and you're like oh i don't know what's going on jeez i don't know yeah my door why is this so

[14:33]weird we dropped yeah why was this so weird i don't know why is this so weird i don't know why is this so weird in the back in his car seat i get out to look both rear wheels are off the ground so the right rear tire is up on top of the retaining wall the left rear tire is suspended off the ground and so we try to figure out how to get out of the thing we kind of like we decide we're going to back up first so we back up it dumps down off the retaining wall and now the retaining wall is like jammed into the right like the passenger door so then we eventually decide like okay we can like

[15:03]maybe turn to get this thing out anyway long story short tonight is sunday night we don't even have a full tank of gas we've not even used a full tank of gas in the new car tomorrow morning i'm taking the car to the body shop it needs a brand new passenger door a new car that is gonna get a brand how many miles is on that bad boy 115 maybe there were 61 but all of those were all of those were test drive

[15:31]miles that you took right since you've owned it there's nothing they were all ferris bueller miles where he had the two wheels up on the back and he was gunning it yeah 100 miles are wheels spinning please please ask the guy if this is the lowest number of miles that he's ever seen in a car to replace the door please see if you're if you're the champion i gotta be close i'm pretty sure it was at like 49 or 60 miles i can't remember exactly but it was definitely less than 100 miles back oh aaron i got i have to ask i have to know if you're gonna do this when you go

[16:01]in when you bring it in when he asks you what happened are you gonna say the wife did it no no sir no no no i will not aaron no i'll own up to it i'll edit it out but come on are you thinking about it now are you thinking real hard about it now you're gonna be so embarrassed if you go in and admit that what you did yeah well no i already took it in though so like i don't know what the order of this stuff you're supposed to do is i took it to the body shop first well step one don't drive into your retaining wall i don't know if that's on your list he was like he just looked at me and like this was before we had made the

[16:32]insurance claims i took it in to get the quote at the body shop and he was like i don't know tell your insurance company what you did too he was like i would have just paid for it yeah we had to we had to call tell the insurance company we had a new car that we wanted to put on our policy and then be like by the way oh no the new car can you please make a claim on the new car no oh my god so they think you're just running some sort of insurance scam they're like well there's no way somebody could be so fucking stupid that they ran into something that's been in their yard

[17:03]how long have you lived there now eight years so this thing has been there for eight years aaron was so careful not to hit the car that he then backed off an 18 foot cliff of his driveway and then was like ramming it back and forth just making it way way way way worse and the guy at the body shop was like what did you what did you hit like a a boulder or something and i like i didn't know i was just kind of like like i'd try not to give too much you know give too much away i hit a boulder what really happened there i hit a boulder jumped up from below and hit me that's why there's no damage anywhere else but

[17:35]so yeah brand new car nicest car i've ever had in my life and uh now it's gonna be out for eight days while they put a brand new goddamn door on the thing oh yeah aaron's in charge look out ladies he's got a new car oh yeah uh actually we both need to get in the driver's side door the passenger side door doesn't open is i hit a boulder it's not important why you gotta really lift up yeah

[18:00]pull hard to get it open you know and then shut it's a son of a bitch and actually it's pretty cold because there's a giant hole going into the car now so we have to you know bundle up yeah we need to sit real close to each other that's the car update and i guess we're turning this into a park a car podcast another example of just what it would be like to be married to aaron just you don't know it's it's it's no you do know it's gonna suck shit it's gonna be really really really bad because aaron went directly from cleaning his records to then going out and destroying

[18:33]their brand new car the good news is aaron is that you don't have to think about turning around and doing anything that least because it's gonna be worth jack shit by the time you're done with it you can put it into a destruction a destruction derby turn that thing in three years from now i haven't made a single payment on it yet that's not good and you know and that always sucks because it's always when like i bet you had like something really fun planned for the rest of that day too and it's like hey we're gonna go to the air and ice cream museum and i'm gonna let you watch all the movies about pt boats that you want and then instead you and your wife are yelling at each other out on the front

[19:02]lawn for 45 minutes in front of your kid on the way to another five-year-old's birthday party i don't know how i would have ran that thing up on the retaining wall to screw that why didn't you come to johnny's birthday party uh aaron drove the car off the retaining wall yeah right okay i can just see russell in the car russell's like okay where are we going a five-year-old birthday party goes ah okay he just looks over his shoulder and starts

[19:31]left yeah i mean i really regret it not taking photos like when the car was jacked up on the retaining wall come on no i didn't i know totally like it was like i completely messed up i should have taken some photos wallace should have been wallace should have been videoing you guys like sitting there thinking like yeah well if we just crank it just a little bit to the left i bet we can get off of this and you know like that that should have all been on video so how mad does your wife get mad at you in situations like that like just mad at you just nothing you can do about it but she's

[20:02]you just have to eat shit or what in this case she was pretty quiet so i think that meant she was bad but that's really bad yeah the best photo of a terrible decision i ever made i don't know if i've ever told you guys this story we were up at this cabin we go to every year and it was super windy out like like 80 mile per hour winds or something and one of the resort one of the resort owners came over and said hey you guys might want to pull your boat out it's supposed to be really windy and in my mind i was like what the fuck's gonna happen it's just gonna sit there on the dock like what you know what's the worst thing

[20:31]that could happen so we leave the boat out there yeah huge storm comes through and we're like oh nobody tells raining winding and everything we go out and look out where our boat was the dock is no longer there and our boat is gone oh and we're like what so we're looking out in the middle of the lake and you can tell there's like a a boat or something you can see something floating out there but it doesn't look like our boat so we get in like a pontoon or something we go out there it turns out that it got so windy that it ripped the dock out of the ground up into the air upside

[21:01]down and it landed on top of our boat upside down the middle of a lake was our boat with a with a dock flipped upside down laying on top of it and it smashed like the top of the boat and everything so we go out and we drag it back in and we've got to be like the jackasses of all jackasses we're like the resort owners looking at us like yeah we mentioned you might want to take it out instead you ruined our dock because you left your boat out there you asshole i would i would just say actually this is now a party barge okay so let's go where

[21:30]can i park it oh guess what fucking anywhere dude it's got a dock on it i can actually park this one the dock is a boat i think i figured something out here this is huge man maybe i could share the picture with you for the instagram if this makes the final that'll be good yep yep that'll be good oh it's making the final cut hey aaron and that's the other thing aaron you could have sent us an instagram of this car all fucked up at least take a picture of the door i want to see the door i'll send you a picture of the door but yeah i didn't take it i messed up i made a mistake on one hand aaron it sucks because it's always you know you don't like to see bad things happen to people but

[22:02]on another hand i i fucking called it like i think we've really have been doing too much of this podcast i just said you crash it you're like yes and i was like oh there's the story so aaron were you pissed or like what's your style so what something like this if i get into a car accident if i lose something i cannot handle it i do i do well with certain types of stress but that type of thing would ruin my day would ruin my week it would piss me off forever like do you get over this five minutes in or what does it do to your your the way you carry about the rest of your day in your week i think in this case we were going to

[22:35]okay how are we going to get at least anna and wallace this birthday party and then what i don't know it just it felt like yeah it felt like well this was such a dumb fucking thing that i did that like you know i i got over it pretty quick i still replay it in my mind just the same as like i missed the wordle today for the first time ever we don't talk about wordle on the podcast but my first word will fail today and i keep replaying my fifth guess over and over in my mind so like i

[23:00]do okay but then i like a light out of sleep and i'll be like if i had just done something like that a little bit different if i just said anna would you get out and make sure i'm not going to run up on the retaining wall you know over and over again but i mean nobody died we're all okay so it's it you know it's fine she's probably doing the same thing you know it's just like she's like i wonder if i just would have married somebody different like how different my life would be i wouldn't be stuck in a small ass house going to five-year-old birthday parties all the time uh and i would probably have uh multiple good cars you know and not without a busted up door yeah yeah oh well

[23:35]aaron's going mountain biking nothing could possibly go wrong today rosie's wife at gmail.com would have a whole bunch of like nice new cars yeah if you know and if rosie wasn't married to her then he'd have a microwave so i don't know it's kind of awesome right it's like everyone makes sacrifices yeah the people that i love if you guys want to check your phones real quick i did send you the text you guys will get a laugh out of this okay forget oh yeah there it is okay so that is definitely yeah that that is oh that is the whole doc on top of it

[24:05]not only is there a dock with the giant wheels sticking up perfectly on top of a boat just sitting there there's also i would estimate 30 people out on the shore looking at just checking it out with the dock on it so everyone's like who the hell left this boat out there and i'm just like standing in the corner yeah yes yeah yeah that was my only mistake was not getting good photos of the incident russell you had the you had the presence of mind to do that that's when

[24:32]you say very loudly like well i'm just helping this family get the boat out you know dumb shits matt rolling going how's it going with you uh good we've kind of been pulling a russell and traveling on a whole bunch of airplanes since i we talked last and or beck did it better that's all you need to hear right there it's not too much and since this opening is so long hit it rob

[25:05]so sarah and i we were in uh atlanta this weekend um for sarah from atlanta her 40th birthday so happy birthday sarah was it was real fun her husband did a great job putting a big surprise together for and everything so it was good but on the flight home and can i just interject real quick and i hate to interrupt matt because he actually gets mad that's a normal fucking birthday party to go to rosie do you understand that like you go to an adult 40 year old birthday

[25:31]party that sounds great yeah i would love to do a thing like that i would love to do a thing like that like that i'm sorry there's out there if you're having birthday parties for adults i'm available to attend them okay that sounds weird adult birthday party it's gonna show up and be like oh wait a minute hey adults i am here for the party yeah hello fellow it says on the invite adult party but everyone here says they're here for fucking and sucking oh oh is that kind of adult party there's a whole bunch of new pairs of socks right by the dance

[26:03]you got all right so we're at this you know and so the whole thing so we walked in i hadn't seen sarah in five years kind of a deal right and sarah my my wife sarah was like long-time friends with this sarah and the sarah went to saint olaf you guys might have met her and so we walk in she starts bawling it was great you know like when you haven't seen people for a very long now that

[26:31]sounds like an adult party some balling yeah yeah so it was it was fun and i'm glad that we got to have fun but so we're sitting on the on the ride out when we're when we're planning the flight i'm like well you know how do you want to sit sir you know like so again with and and her response was why would anybody talk about this for multiple hours on a podcast this is the least interesting thing to me ever oh you guys talk about this all the time it's like yeah armrest we all have very strong opinions about flights now thanks to this podcast are you down with who's framed roger rabbit and matt's doing all his plane bits he's like this is funny when i take a picture with my

[27:05]down so what would you guys decide i would like i would like i would like a like everybody can you can see the clock right at 36 oh two i would like 40 seconds all right no interrupting so these are good these are good funny bits 40 seconds i'm here for 40 seconds okay so i say to sarah you know how do you want to sit like do you want to be in the middle we can sit aisle aisle you know we can sit next to each other but i'm not sitting in the middle so you'd be sitting in the middle you know

[27:32]kind of a thing so we decided to go aisle aisle right so on the y on the way home i'm in 39 d she's in 39 c right and she is by the big guy yeah right and the big guy is not a nice big guy he's kind of a jackass right and so oh are you two married well would you like to switch and i said no you know and you know honestly it was just because this guy was kind of a jack so then i kind of felt bad because i'm like oh well no sarah's gonna sit by this guy you know for the whole ride and he's just

[28:00]a jack and i'm like oh you'll be you'll be fine you know like you'll be able to get to the back kind of a thing and so but do you guys ever separate from your uh significant others when you're flying like have you done this because i think this is the way to go you both sit on the aisle tell everybody else to go fuck themselves i've never done it i think i've mentioned this before the one time we both sat on the aisle was not on an airplane it was actually at a comedy show and the comic the stand-up the comic picked up on it right away and picked on me for sitting across the aisle from me

[28:30]my wife and he was like oh y'all are married everything okay like so that's the only i've not done you were like holding hands across the aisle though i can see you holding hands across the aisle yeah we were not everybody's falling walking by oh whoa it's hard for jenny and i to sit by each other when she's in first class and has gotten upgraded and then that's true uh it leaves me with the kids she says the flight attendant's back for your credit card so she can buy headphones or whatever oh my god you jenny's got a fucking drawer that is just full of free of delta headphones

[29:00]it's it's all when we go on a flight i pull out i pull out three pair i pull out like one for all the girls and i and an extra pair but and then i say to her please we have so many headphones you know you're going on a flight you know your bluetooth headphones won't work she's like okay comes back brand new pair of headphones coming from the plane she's like on these on these three trips that i've taken um you know i've been i'm kind of the outcast because i don't eat lettuce right i don't like vegetables so every time we go to these

[29:30]restaurants right i gotta do the whole thing of like pushing the salad around to make sure it looks like this but i think i have found some go ahead rob you're the outcast for not even eating vegetables instead of hey yeah you're like oh no well you even gave me time to think about that yeah i don't want it no but i think i found something that's even worth because like

[30:00]oh well i kind of know this the coolest thing to do these days is to share as many plates as you can you order yeah eight different whatever but like one i don't want i ended up at in houston at a french vietnamese place right and you guys can imagine just how messed up that is for me right like nothing but tiny meat yeah order and then just a whole bunch of like greens and

[30:30]things i've never even seen just the worst and so it's just the worst and so these oh we'll order one of these one of these like bean sprouts and mint and cucumbers it's your own personal french vietnam if you think about it really it's like i was in the shit i had all these salads coming at me i didn't want to eat them but i had to share my meat plates with everybody and so then you know finally one of these like does does anybody does anybody want to just is anybody everybody okay with sharing or does anybody want their own plate and i just i won't i'll take my own plate you know

[31:00]oh oh and then you and then everyone thinks you're the one making it harder on people right they just want to order a bunch of stuff pass it around and i just you know i just want to so then we go you know again then we're out last night at this pizza place for sarah's birthday kind of a thing and it's like let's just order like seven pizzas right and everybody can just take and i'm like no no i'm gonna get get my own you know and so i i think i'm the new weird guy i think that's even weirder than not ordering a salad i don't know i'm confused about how this is back already

[31:30]like even if you're even if you're not worried about getting covid what we learned is that you get covid from swallowing other people's spit i know we're going back to the you know the topic here you love to talk about it my god that shit is gross like what how do you think these guys are sharing plates they're not like they're not like eating off the same fork yeah like they like there's a serving spoon and like push you know what are you talking about everything that's fine but like that's how we all that's how that's how these diseases are transmitted like by being

[32:03]close enough to someone that they're spitting directly into your mouth so like why are we still doing this as a society so you can imagine you can imagine my joy if i get to go have a dinner with these two mad and aaron where we're out sharing plates everybody's mad but not for the same reason everybody's really upset meanwhile russell's writing everything down and i know he's going to use it for i'm into it like i'm into it like rob if you if you want to come to my house i will put down just a big plate of chicken and some rice on the side and everybody just dig in i'm happy

[32:30]with that but if you're out with people you don't know that well i'm so pumped to go to aaron's house for chicken and rice what a treat it's about like risk calculus like when is it worth it to be swallowing someone else's germs like matt i don't know if these people you were with are worth it for you but then i mean you really think about it like i mean the people cooking it right like do they i mean i don't know it's kind of a slippery slope i mean it's like you know what are you talking about do you even know what they're talking about i don't i well mosey's whole thing is like right like don't cross contaminate anything and like don't let

[33:01]anybody else breathe and it's like but it's like by the time it gets to you in the restaurant there's at least five other people that have breathed on it i'm just saying like there's a lot of other people's saliva on your food if you're sharing plates and don't even get me started about washing hands after the bathroom that's all i know you think you gotta trust these people you have to trust these people that they wash their hands if they're going to be digging in the same plate as you i know aaron you think you want to go to an adult party but it does not ready for a full-on fuckfest it sounds like you might aaron's like okay but it's i'm wearing a

[33:33]dental dam the whole time it's the new mask a dental dam is my new mask okay so the last one of those masks with like the skull and crossbones onto the fuckfest or whatever it is he's got a hazmat suit he's like oh i'm just here for frottage and don't ask how i know that it's not a big search term for what it's the it's a it's the fancy french vietnamese way of saying dry humping oh god rosie rosie here's the last thing i saw today sarah we're in the airport in

[34:04]atlanta and my sarah wants to just get something before we get on the plane she finds this place that has like these vegetarian crepes or something like that you know they look good but they had like frozen yogurt there too so i'm like i'll get some frozen yogurt with like some granola it'd be great yep tcby baby so we're getting up we're getting up there right and all of a sudden i see there's or they didn't want them or something like that and so the worker grabs one of them

[34:31]goes and opens up the soft serve thing no pours it back in no and i'm like now for some reason aaron's gave me two big thumbs up to that he likes that i don't get this at all and so then i'm like oh i don't want a frozen yogurt anymore no i see how that like what like why why in the world would somebody take something like that and pour back i don't know sir you're lucky the machine when i was putting out ice cream also put out a plastic spoon so you actually got both that's a we call that a jack

[35:04]horner situation because you were lucky you got the because i'm do you guys see what i'm picturing here that he poured in the plastic spoon it's coming out it comes right into your okay never mind so the last thing is rosie i too about a week and a half ago had my first miss on wordle and it is unbelievably heartbreaking and i feel your pain yeah thank you you know the sun will come up tomorrow it'll be okay there'll be a new word tomorrow you'll be all right but i'm excited yeah i'm old but i'm ready thank you man for your kind words

[35:30]okay yeah yeah well i'll never know what that's like so can't be me because if i do get it if i do miss the word i will simply lie about it and make a fake wordle like i did at april fools everybody's too sweet i sent a fake wordle on april fools nobody cares about this but i sent a fake word i'll say i got in the first one and everybody's like yay good for you and you know what i was proud of myself like i got i got fake responses to my april fools joke and i was like oh thanks everybody loves me so much maybe i should lie all the time i think that's why those compulsive liars do it it rocks lying all the time you know

[36:00]you love stolen valor rod you're on record as loving stolen valor what other kind of valor actually i'm not on recorded record that was a post podcast of me saying that but what else would you get valor besides stealing it that's the only way i mean listen there's a you know there's a parade sure i'll dress up in a military uniform and walk down the street it's fun everybody says thank you for your service and guess what i have done some stuff that i should be thanked for yes i'm assuming they're talking about the podcast so just stolen valor guy my favorite

[36:32]all right uh russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going we've been talking a little bit about dinners being out man i was talking about eating i have a dinner experience to share with you guys rob had mentioned that they do this out in new york they actually do it in minneapolis too it's dinner in the dark i went to dinner in the dark a few weeks ago and i thought i could share my experience with you guys i want to hear it yeah we are both going on a date tonight just russell and me

[37:06]me when i ask him where we're going well he just smiles and says you'll see we are going steady i hope joe look at yelp to see pictures of food and to get beat back but all the pictures are the same they're all just squares that are black

[37:31]russell and i are eating in the dark yes halfway through i disappear russell's chewing his the only thing i hear i need to go this is the last time we do something that was planned by you

[38:10]it's wild how rob just composed that on the spot i came up with it real quick that's incredible just like off the dome so so i went to dinner at the dinner in the dark at the commodore have you guys ever been to the commodore in saint paul before i think i have yeah it's kind

[38:30]of it's kind of this oh it's this bar attached to this hotel used to be open for dinner drinks and everything now it's just open for special events but are you sure it's open are you sure you didn't just go to a closed restaurant you're like god damn these dinner in the dark i love these things so it's put on by this company called fever up fever up i suggest all our listeners check it out they do all sorts of cool events they do like frank sinatra by candlelight where you go and you listen to frank sinatra in the dark taylor swift in the dark they do weekly dinner in the dark event so you go as long as it's 1989 and not red i'll be fine what what how did they form a

[39:05]company just by doing normal shit but in the dark it's a great idea i have to say you guys dinner in the dark is a must do it is so much fun you get there and you have a choice of three different meals so you can get meat fish or vegetarian and when you walk in they have a candle for you so it's either blue green or red depending on what type of meal that you've ordered you sit down at this table and it's very dark they've got some music playing it's very dark

[39:33]so one fucking thing they do i hope it's pretty dark well no it's dark but then they also you put a blindfold on so it's dark already and you put a blindfold on so you put the blindfold on and you can't see anything you it's it's nothing but you your waitress comes out you can order drinks and everything okay you just can't see anything you can't see anything you can't see anything you can't you kind of got to be very careful with what you're putting so they had sir give me your hand i'm gonna show you where the fork is i mean i'd be doing that joke all day long i'll be like oh no i

[40:02]must have reached into a jar of hard-boiled eggs this doesn't feel like a fork at all can i tell you what my ongoing joke during the dinner in the dark was so so this is like only me would do this so we get to the we get to this bar it's this really cool bar beforehand but you you have to wait for a while you get you have to be there 15 minutes early really you're there for like an hour beforehand or whatever so when we were there we got this like order of like uh i don't know bread and olive oil just like as a hey we're just having we're just wasting time or whatever but we didn't

[40:32]eat it all so we put it in the bag so we go in and we're sitting in this dinner in the dark like every 20 minutes i would start crinkling the bag like i was eating bread out of the bag so just to kind of annoy everyone i would constantly be zipping and unzipping things that would be the funniest joke to be huh somebody in this dinner in the dark just unzips like everybody's looking around at who it could be you just get a little pound underneath the table so yeah so what happens if you like my big question is like what happens if you have to go to

[41:01]the bathroom is this like a dorm college situation where you just pee wherever and hope you're in the bathroom so the way it kind of went is there was only farmhouse it doesn't everybody have a story like that where somebody came back to somebody else's dorm room and was like oh yes the bathroom and then just pissed all over their bunk bed no okay yeah me neither no it's just you so anyway this is actually don't loan that guy money oh i haven't heard about that don't let that guy any money

[41:34]public service announcement if anyone knows from st. olaf don't lend him any money me with my checkbook scratch scratch x out can i withdraw my venmo or not i mostly remember this guy from pissing on my roommate's bed but he does say he's a he's actually an african king so i think this is gonna work out so yeah

[42:02]so anyways you have it was a three-course meal so there's an appetizer and a main course and a dessert and so one of the reasons i at one point did get up and go to the bathroom but i waited to kind of make sure my one course was done and then you can kind of communicate with your waiter or waitress so you can kind of say like hey can you give us a few minutes on the next course so when when but when do you communicate like well they come by are they wearing like like snow pants how do you know that they're there they walk they walk out they walk out they say

[42:33]hey can i get you anything that they use their other other communication that would be so scary that would be sir can i get you oh jesus christ it's like batman you can kind of get up and just quickly put your head down and walk out without seeing what anyone is eating pretty easily so i got so i got questions i mean like you know it's like a first time date you know you know you know when you're not able to like see the person how they act i mean like how does how does that go and you know it's like russell love me don't you want to see how they react to this stuff or is it like

[43:00]those things where they're getting scared and it's like stressful so it's good to see it's my go-to move on a first date matt keep it in the dark keep it in the dark that's what i'm saying so why does this why does this smell like mulch in here now don't pay no reason who's that unzipping i don't think it's our is it me sir your waiter by the way i'm gonna put all the waiter noises right in the right ear only so it sounds like the waiter's talking to you just right here so one question i was gonna have for you guys is if you went to dinner in the dark

[43:30]would you use silverware or would you use your fingers to like feel around and eat stuff i think you know i was thinking about this i think that i would um use silverware at first but i think you'd have to just go to your fingers and go like gollum style where you're digging around looking for the food yeah i'd say go with your hands like get in there do you get a napkin i ended up going with my hands for most of it to like pick stuff up and then you can tell like if there was some sort of like rice or something that you couldn't really you could kind of

[44:02]use your silverware a little bit on stuff like that but i went with my hands but i believe i was in the minority in the room you really went with your hands on a date in the dark so your your your date here's here's what it sounds like to your date there's music playing and people are talking it's not silent i'm with russell i think it's okay i mean at no point can you hear other people eating rob there's music playing and people that was actually my number one question with a bullet is do you just hear people eating but

[44:30]for some reason when you say it's dark i also think it's quiet i don't know why that is i don't know why i put that together in my head no i was i was with you man i did with the hands get in there yeah don't say that about a date erin inappropriate the one thing i have to say is this was a great experience i don't know why i put that together in my head i don't know why i put that so not focused on anything else like if you had a bad day at work or a tough day with your kids or something like that you were sitting there and you were just completely in the moment of trying to figure out what you're eating and using your sense of smell and your sense of taste and touch it is so fantastic i gotta did you ever get i gotta ask you a couple things i'm so sorry erin

[45:05]but you gotta shut the hell up here's the thing number one how do you not spill your drink every single time you just got to be very careful and so what we did was we always kept our drinks on the far right of the table and we were like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry up against kind of the there was a wall oh so we kind of kept our we always kept our drinks on the far side so we didn't accidentally hit him with i would think that place would just sound like broken glass and then you know there's broken glass everywhere and meanwhile so you can't see the broken glass nobody can clean it up it's there it's there all night and meanwhile you've stripped

[45:33]down to absolutely nothing you are nude monkey guy eating dinner with your date and it's super erotic because nobody knows how naked you are oh my god get mad at me for this though but my date plates back and forth in the dark as well so we were sharing plates but i know aaron doesn't like people to share food anymore it's nothing no here's i feel that i've been miss misunderstood it's that you should only share with people you trust and matt's talking about being in places like houston and atlanta where like he may not know everyone at the table there's like there's

[46:04]like 16 people you don't know their family you don't know how they were raised like you know how clean these people are but russell your date that's wonderful you should be sharing dinner in the dark for sure i mean it in the dark you're just spitting in random directions and just hoping it goes in your date's mouth you know well russell were you sitting across from your date or next to your date how do you we were sitting we were sitting across so if we pass essentially what we would do was wow i would hold mine to the side and she would hold her out just keep sticking it forward

[46:34]until i grabbed it and then we would kind of swap it i'm gonna edit out the word i'm you know what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna bleep out the word plates in that story and it's gonna be so good i love it and so russell did you ever get maybe you're gonna get to this but were you ever completely baffled were you ever eating something and you were like i do not know what this yes no um there were times where you couldn't maybe taste certain flavors of it but you had a general idea of i was pretty close on most things there might have been a flavors or one ingredient or something you didn't really know but for the

[47:04]most part you were pretty pretty close on course you want me to tell you what we had yeah hell yeah what if you wanted salt or pepper how would you not just pour one the both on i mean i have so much food without just like putting it on your head or something and like the waitress would essentially walk out and they were very good about telling you what was happening so they would i'm here so they would walk up and say so i'm bringing you guys your first course and then she would set them down the table next you would say us me and then you'd go no it was it was pretty

[47:33]they had you spaced out pretty well so it's not like you were on top of other people oh well hey then cancel guess what my dark dinner if i'm not on top of other people cancel it but so she she was pretty good about telling you hey this is in kind of what type it's in a bowl or it's in a plate and here's where it's at and she kind of explained to you where stuff was so the perfect waitress for a dark restaurant would be like a former yeah dinner in the dark would be former sex

[48:00]operator phone sex line yes person right because that's all they do is they're telling you what they're doing all the time right here's what i'm doing right now you know finally man you're finding jobs because all these phone sex operators are out there being like you know right nobody's i don't even think 900 numbers exist anymore what can i do for a job and meanwhile dynamite entertainment who is it again russell who are we plugging it's called fever up fever up uh fever up entertainment comes and goes listen you have a sexy voice can you serve this food and they're like we're right here on your right here's the here's the beef and by the way there's some sauce

[48:33]in it but i'm not going to tell you what the sauce is that you eat the sauce you're like i don't know what that sauce was so i gotta know what the menu was though russell i want to hear it so i i we got the meat dish we're going to get the meat dish we're going to get the meat dish we're going to get we each got one of the different dishes so some i will say this when we did see people that both ordered the meat dish like at a different table i was like what fucking idiots like they're just eating the same thing they can't trade or anything yeah how late but so here's what was on our meat dish first course beef tartare we've talked about beef tartare before having so good but cannot eat

[49:04]that with your hands bro love it oh you cannot eat that why not you beef tartare it's raw fucking beef dude you can't have that on your hands you're gonna eat it when you're gonna wash your hands you cannot have it on your hands guys if you think you can have beef tartare eat it with bare hands please text in uh to 802-277-BECK and say i'm a fucking idiot because you're an idiot if you think that you should eat beef tartare with or if you're a worldly person and you understand that people ate raw beef with their hands for thousands of years and still alive and still were alive please

[49:33]i understand how the world works you this also came with a crispy quinoa and preserved lemon so this was it was essentially a beef tartare i love preserved lemon i love it what the fuck what is preserved lemon what do you mean you love preserved lemons it's like old ass lemon it's like all crumbly and black they're preserved in salt they're delicious yeah is that the little black lemon limes because suzanne and i have those when we go out and

[50:03]we are always like what the fuck is this we never know it looks like elf's butthole main course for the meat dish was braised short rib yes asparagus a red wine gastrique and then this is the one where i had to use the fork was a creamy parmesan polenta so that was one i could not use my fingers on you get in there with your fingers they're gonna get kind of messy yeah yeah you down with cpp yeah creamy sperm all right so then there was also a dessert for this first course now i gotta say i gotta i gotta say this like if they

[50:34]would have said any kind of chocolate i would have been like i bet it's dark chocolate and it's like hey what's that shuffling noise i hear it sounds like a date leaving and grabbing a bag full of bread on their way out so the dessert for the meat course was a dolce de leche flan vanilla bean whipped cream so a flan jesus did you know i gotta i gotta ask that question russell yeah did you eat that flan with your hands no i did not so that's another one because

[51:03]if you did i was gonna say that's got to be what it's like when you first start masturbating a mess like you're gonna just what so so i'll tell you guys what the fish course was and then you can see why you're talking over your joke because the last joke you may never be quiet for was an absolute alzheimer's so we sure for sure don't want to thank you so here was the fish course first course grilled shrimp pineapple fennel peanut coconut coriander salt

[51:31]oh wow so this is one where you can start feeling around with your fork and you're like okay i can grab this and eat it and you can tell immediately it was shrimp yeah you know right away tails or tails yeah tails or no tails i did not eat those tails yeah nobody ever does you in a in a dark restaurant sir sir again rob it's not a quiet restaurant it's a dark restaurant the waiters are you eating the shrimp tails we could hear it all the way back in the kitchen this restaurant

[52:03]is so quiet and so dark so the next was i'm gonna get back to this but was fish parsnip puree carrots tapenade so the dessert i i tried parsnip puree only because i was out with and sarah was with me and i'm like oh i have to try it not my cup of tea i don't like it so the dessert was a triple chocolate mousse with strawberries sea salt and olive oil so this is where like the sea salt was

[52:33]very it was great in the darkness it's a whole different thing now was that uh was that dark chocolate it was quiet chocolate i think here's where i got pissed though so here's where i got finally annoyed i loved everything about this experience here's what i didn't like so at the end they come up and they you can scan a bar code or whatever and you can see what was on the menu because they don't tell you what's on the menu beforehand it's you have no idea so you go and look turns out the fish that we have was called

[53:03]the catch of the day they literally don't even tell you what kind of fish was on the menu they just say it was the catch of the day oh that's not good bullshit i was gonna say the best thing they come up and then here's your bill and they don't let you see what the actual bill is were your senses heightened russell did you feel like daredevil in there like could you like were you smelling more were you tasting more do you think like yes all of your other senses were on fire rob how about the conversation was the conversation easier because you weren't like

[53:32]looking at three co-hosts when you're making a great joke about flan and flaccid penises and your three ghosts just look at back at you blankly you don't get those stares on a dark thing so i bet it would be great well here you know what every every time every time the conversation would stray away from me i would crinkle my bag of bread just to try to make a joke rob that i'll tell you what i have turned off the video and we are now going to do a we're doing a podcast in the dark okay but i can still see russell and man well i gotta ask you guys what i'm curious would you guys ever

[54:03]go do dinner in the dark yeah i think it sounds fun i think it sounds 100 right up my alley except i would bring kids i'd be the one guy who brought kids and i'd yeah people would hate i'd have to constantly be telling like turn off your phone turn off your phone there is no way i would do this and it's like and it's not in literally no i and i understand like you have laid it out perfectly it sounds like a great time it is not for me it's my wife would probably love it somebody should take my wife what if someone

[54:32]planned a menu that they knew you would like though matt what if they what if you knew all three of your courses would be stuff that you your wife would know that you know then probably yeah you know then i tried it like if i knew like what the menu was ahead of time but it was just crab legs in the dark just crab legs for the first course crab legs for the second course crab legs for the dessert oh my god just then the next question sounded and it smells like somebody's rubbing butter clarified butter all over mulch that's so weird i i you're we're talking to a guy here who

[55:05]got mad when his sandwich got cut and there were flecks of lettuce on it matt is not gonna eat a meal in the dark i was gonna ask you guys would you ever do this with your kids would this be like a fun activity for your kids to do like lunch in the dark with your kids you turn the lights out you bring out some of your kids favorite snacks yeah it's actually a great idea i don't think my kid would go for it because he's very picky about food but i kind of want to try it now i like it i think you could sell it i think that's a great you know what russell we might genius we might

[55:30]have to do a closet lunch this summer just i'll get in the closet hang out lunch would be tough for a dark i think most of them i would guess dynamite ink is mostly selling dark like dinners and not like dark brunches or something like that but it's called fever up fever up okay uh i would say um yeah i think that i think that'd be uh awesome with kids i well you know my famous dark story right i've told you guys before let's i used to do a lab where i teach about how light works and and kids always think that light works by like going into your eyes right and so i would find a closet in a dark room and i would stuff my whole class into

[56:05]this closet we could all fit in the closet so there's like 23 kids middle schoolers and me and i'm in this thing and i hold up an apple right and i turn off all the lights and it's like dark dark like have you ever been like in a cave underground dark like where it's just like oh i'll never i've been at a dinner in the dark with a blindfold on it was dark but you could hear stuff rob could you hear stuff in your dark closet i've had lots of dates ask me to put on blindfolds but then they they say they want to put it on so i don't get what that is it's like

[56:30]a weird kink they have um but uh so yeah so i would stand there and then teach them about light and they would be like oh yeah my eyes are never going to adjust and i was like yeah the light has to bounce off things and then we'd be ready to go and i'd turn off the light or i turned uh the light back on and i would have put on a clown wig that i'd hidden in the closet earlier and i had a knife in my hand and i went oh my god and then i turned off the light again it killed okay it was a it was i mean it was literally the talk of the town and like city council talk of a lot of people

[57:00]actually there were a lot of adults who wanted to talk about the police chief parent parent meeting but i did that i i legit did that lab for like three years and i knew it was bad because other teachers at this school would be like oh you did what and i was like yeah isn't that great and they're like no you shouldn't be in the dark closet with kids for 15 minutes and i was like yeah but i'm teaching them about light and they're like you shouldn't do that and one of those kids was named fever ink and he went on to start the dark dinner he liked it so much speaking of being the talk of the town rob roland go on how's it going with you so if i said to you guys um that

[57:33]we're at a elementary school carnival okay first of all aaron would be like yeah i call that a but uh normal stuff it's normal stuff and i said that we're gonna do a cake walk we're gonna do a cake walk do you would you guys know what i mean by that you know the cakes cakes on chairs it's kind of like musical chairs but there's cakes but like don't sit on the cake and fart in the cake but just like once you stop at a cake you get to earn the cake yeah like you walk around and there's numbers like on the chairs or on the ground

[58:01]and then the music stops and you're standing there and you pull if they pull your number you win a cake right i know about this do you know about this matt is this something you did i've never done it i've seen it a couple times so yeah there is nobody in new york who knows what i'm talking about not a single person out here knows what a cake walk is there's somebody i work with from california who knows what it is but i was describing it to co-workers and they i was like yeah you'd walk around and at the end you'd win a cake and they're like oh like a slice of cake

[58:31]and i'm like no you would win a whole fucking cake i would be in fifth grade and i'd be walking around with this fucking cake knowing i am fucking king of the world because i got and guess what you want to win early because guess what you get to do you get to go you get to go pick the fucking cake so i'd go back there and don't end up with german chocolate i'd end up it didn't matter i'd get the biggest one i was like it doesn't matter i mean i mean because i would eat a dark in the dark too but it was me sneaking out to the kitchen at night that was my dark dessert that's but yeah i but then

[59:00]you explain that to people here and they look at you like what nobody knows what a cakewalk is and honestly rob would you when you would win first would you pick a homemade cake or a store-bought cake i'm always picking a store-bought cake the biggest one no question yeah the biggest one of the biggest frosting roses like i yes so if you don't know what a cakewalk in can you just email in and say uh i don't know what a cakewalk is call 802-277-BACK or text in and just tell us what state you're from because i'm trying to figure out where exactly a cakewalk so basically

[59:31]we're going to get a call from magic mike 69 because everybody else's lives like edina so they obviously know well and what's her name tush down in texas or whatever her name is she'll call in and folks you know what i really think takes the cake let's talk about the album i love this dinner but it sounds like someone's sitting in our cake on the table does it sound like that to you i can't hear you it's too loud in this dark restaurant it's way too loud i'm

[60:00]trying to get somebody to turn down the music but they uh they don't actually see me motioning at all the restaurant is find the volume it's so so dark yeah sir we tried but all we can do is turn the bass way up uh all right uh and again that was in your right ear because that was the waiter voice if you're listening on a left headphone sorry you missed a bunch of jokes that's on you so listen this is the album where a lot of people point back to it and they say this is david bowie becoming david bowie right um the album before this was the man who's uh sold the world and it was a little bit more bluesy and guitar i looked

[60:30]back at the track list for that song did not recognize a single one off of it and then so then he comes out and he does this uh hunky dory but what's wild is that hunky dory comes out and it's basically a flop like this song comes out it's super piano based it's got i mean i think we're gonna we're gonna talk about it but it's got killer song after killer song this album is you know it's as it's as thick as a picnic like this is unbelievably just a great album and everybody's like huh and then after this album is when he comes out with uh ziggy stardust and the

[61:00]spiders from mars and everybody goes whoa that's a fucking great album then they go hey you gotta check out this album from before and so hunky dory kind of in retrospect becomes uh super famous i think he was about making music that sounds really fucking good and it's interesting because there's actually to me there's a lot of beatles influence and he was working with an engineer who had worked with paul mccartney and george harrison and uh he sort of like talks so much about america because he was like always in conversation with with the united states but to me there's a ton of beatles influence on here but like who cares what the songs are about they sound fucking amazing

[61:32]so the the first song that i'm going to be talking about is the first song that i'm going to be talking about is the first listen to this first song changes right i mean this he can he can start an album still don't know what i was waiting for and my time this album sounds so good it is crystal clear it is so well produced and he produced it with another guy ken scott shout out to ken scott i had to look him up because he was the engineer on his previous record and he engineered uh george

[62:03]harrison's all things must pass and yeah shout out to ken scott because uh he and bowie created a whole sound here that just sounds great do you do you think david bowie's the king of the build listen to this right here just listen i mean he changes the tone of it it sounds so fucking good this album i keep talking about how i don't like strings on pop records but i love every string flourish on this record i think it's just all perfectly done yeah i i've agreed next up oh you pretty thing

[62:33]things no other rock and roller could sing oh you pretty things and sound awesome this sounds like a dylan piano right yeah and then listen so the build comes up too so this is a song where he's referencing nichi again the name keeps fucking coming up these guys are all reading nichi should we all be reading nichi maybe we should listen to this right here

[63:03]oh this is amazing isn't it yeah so what's wild is that this is another one of those songs where he wrote this so david bowie at this point was really trying to focus on his songwriting and was selling his songs to other people and he had actually written this for peter noon of the turtles so this is 1971 peter noon released this version in april bowie released his version in december but listen to peter noon's version i kind of like it

[63:33]oh i like it yeah it's pretty square doesn't this just sound like a paul mccartney song it does it sounds so much like paul mccartney i'm gonna carry that way yeah matt you're totally right carry yeah those two songs to open the album i listened to this album so many times getting ready for this and i enjoyed i was happy every time i got to sit down and put it on it's so good i thought about it when i was when i was having when i was having dinner in the dark and the

[64:00]whole time every time i'd eat something new i'd go oh you pretty things it's kind of creepy kind of not creepy at all no totally you pretty thing okay real quick i gotta ask if you have to go to the bathroom do you have to ask a waiter to come get you to what and then walk you to the bathroom and are the lights on in the bathroom you take your blindfold off you get up and you walk through the dining room and you go to the bathroom oh okay well that's that's kind of boring you gotta zip your fly up first though because rob talked about the fly up and fly down

[64:34]the whole time you gotta make sure it's up at any point then you go are you walking by somebody's plate and you maybe just grab a little shnibble off their plate just a little bit just you know they're not gonna see a couple fries yeah just grab a couple fries man there were no fries he would have been pissed hate line poem this guitar sound here yeah but this sounds like a george harrison sound yep so this is him pretty much reuniting with his old guitar player and he's got a guitar player mick uh mick ronson he's great on this album and he makes a bunch of different

[65:06]sounds yeah so good i mean this was the band that became pretty much the spiders from mars plus the good the piano player for yes so he's got a stacked band plus you know we got another david bowie saxophone solo coming up later in this album guys it's our favorite sax on here it's our favorite thing maybe i missed it earlier where does this compare to the first two albums that we've listened to on the list in terms of chronological station by station is way after that this album that's like his his i'm gonna eat hot peppers and drink milk and do cocaine phase

[65:34]this is right before 76 yeah this is right before ziggy stardust got ya and in fact he was going through ziggy stardust when he was doing this so much so that the album was the record label was like i don't want to even give any money to this album because by the time we show everybody hunky dory david bowie is going to have moved on to a new persona which is kind of what that changes song was about right and now so go ahead man well i'll just say i'll i i the only thing i did in preparation for this was to look up this

[66:04]little faction here so i'm gonna just state in david bowie's got five albums on the top 500 list wow okay the rise and fall of ziggy stardust at 40 station station 42 this one at 88 hunky dory low at 206 and then scary monsters at 443 they're all done between 1971 and 1980 and so out of the 500 best albums of all times david bowie's got five of them and they're all in like a nine to ten year span yeah and it's like

[66:35]on if you mean like there's somebody can make the argument that he is one of the most influential musicians of all time just based on some of that stuff so i mean it's nobody yeah nobody's gonna argue with it but like that's some pretty heavy power right there yeah i'm i'm happy every time we've come up on a david bowie album it brings me joy every time i listen to this it's it's so good and this song i mean yeah do we give it two claps before we even listen to it i mean this is just so amazing

[67:05]the first thing i was thinking of rob and i were talking about this earlier and i said i was listening to this album a few times today and when i got to this song i i listened to it like four times in a row and i needed to ask matt matt you have this list of perfect songs is this on your list or did this get consideration or not but it should be in consideration no for sure like yeah absolutely i have an announcement to make i think this might be a top five pop song of all time i i i agree with you i think i think david

[67:40]bowie could write a song i'm gonna just say i'm gonna go out on a limb and say he could write a good song number one god only knows by beach boys i had to think about it number two uh hot for teacher of course by van halen number three shit i had this list all done i can't remember it anymore and number five is this is life on mars it's so good it's incredible you hear

[68:04]that piano it's just amazing so this is recorded at this studio in london the trident studios and i think bowie a few of his other albums recorded there but so one of the late additions to this album was this guy named rick wakeman who was a session musician who brought in and ended up playing the piano and bowie kind of told him like you play the piano and i'm gonna work everything else around the piano i just thought that was really cool but i was reading a little bit about this piano and he played this piano and i was like oh my god i'm gonna work everything else around the piano which was a hundred year old beckstein grand piano and it turned out that this was

[68:35]actually one of the most famous pianos in music or rock and roll history and we'll get into why it was famous but so nowadays like i was reading that like all instruments are mass produced so everything sounds the same right now but back you know when pianos were made hundreds of years ago they're all handcrafted so they all sound a little bit different and this one had harder hammers so you really had to hit the keys hard and that's what kind of gave that bright and that crisp tone i just so that tone is so cool very distinct isn't it

[69:04]rob's on amazon right now looking for a well i've got i was just gonna say you know i hammer don't hurt him but that i was like don't say rob it's so stupid but so anyway so there's all these people that recorded at these trident studios in london there's like a 15 year period and so many famous acts played some of the most amazing songs ever on this beckstein grand piano ever at the trident studios i thought we could do a list of the best songs ever at the trident studios

[69:35]that use the grand beckstein piano and this is just this is like a singular piano a single piano it's the same piano yes does it still exist is it still i'll tell you the the history of it once we get into it this is great there's a couple there's a couple pianos like i think like austin city limits has one they bring out things i mean there's a few like extremely famous pianos i'm in all of his videos because well because he was a harder hammer

[70:04]that's like when hammer went hard he was like pumps with the bump like the girls with the pumps like the girls with the pumps and the bumps so the first the first one of the first groups that recorded um and they actually moved the white album from one of the studios to the trident so they could use this piano and they ended up playing there for a few albums but one of the most famous songs played on the trident studio was the trident studio was hey jude by the beatles check out the piano and you'll hear it you hear that piano

[70:34]it was a different one that they nicknamed did they did they nickname this piano like i didn't see a nickname for but there could be a name for it matt you could be right i just saw it called the the beckstein at trident you know what we remember when we were talking once about how someone voted strawberry feels the best beatles song ever i saw something where when all the beatles music came out on itunes in 2020 and i was like oh my god i don't know what to do with 10 the most downloaded song was hey jude so to me that don't you think that means hey that's got to

[71:05]beat strawberry field that's the song you want to hear like that's what you like that's what you need the movement you need is on your shoulder that's the one you got to hear if you need some music yeah it gets you in the mood i agree with aaron it gets you it gets you going it's ready to go to dark restaurants hey jude is like hey we're all ready to jude you guys know what i'm talking about oh yes how did we get here so the next next song of the list as you guys know i i have been looking for bridesmaids in that movie so i can give them a call and try to get a date

[71:33]but while i was watching the video i actually came across rob's first dance song which is elton john your song which was played on the trident beckstein if you listen carefully you can hear aaron singing in the background ruining my wedding just out there just trying trying my best to do a josh grow with song it's not working out well i didn't even pick a josh grow but it's so strange so i had such a hard time i had to get share one more elton john with you guys i needed to share that i i had been watching rob's video but it hasn't it's been successful

[72:04]maybe i should say that i have maybe got a hold of one of the bridesmaids oh nice we'll see we'll see go way to go but but actually elton john recorded only when she's in a bachelorette party and and one of them was tiny dancer 1971 check out the beckstein at the trident here it's a really cool piano that's because it's too legit to quit it's got those harder hammers

[72:34]yeah you can see why people would go to great lengths to play on it and we've talked tiny dancer before we talked tony danza before but we never talked that when tony danza hosted the espy awards chris berman actually gave him the nickname tony tiny danza yes and he hated it on the show and he claimed he wanted to be nicknamed tony extravaganza oh tony extravaganza what would what would tony danza have said at the at the espies if someone called him tony tiny

[73:04]samantha they're calling me tony tiny dancer jonathan get over here can you believe it oh no mona stuck under the coffee table again tony extravaganza mona i'm gonna spit on this coffee table what i'm not allowed to say no i forgot is mona still alive wait a minute i have an idea for good googling is mona alive you visited this page 10 times

[73:35]try explaining that joke flags that or anything like you need to flag that and like shut people off yeah hey the guy's back and he's googling whether mona's alive again yep uh just to let you know we just we turn off your internet for 24 hours and then we're like oh my god we're like oh my god if you search is mona alive because you've been online too much

[74:02]next song on the list 1972 i don't think she's been on our list yet this is carly simon you're so vain check out the piano here oh oh yeah i hear it's that bright sound i know you know i have a history with this song what's your history i i demanded it was the first song my wedding or no my wife demanded wait what's the joke where i'm so nah can't think of it interesting a couple things about that song bass player on that song was

[74:33]klaus bohrman you remember him was he on that was he on that lennon album he was on the plastic oh no guys we are getting like job rob fucking einstein smart because of this podcast we know a lot about music it's not just about the flan flaccid penis joke i made earlier there's other stuff we're learning james taylor how he was dating p was who did he date before was it uh johnny mitchell yeah he dated johnny mitchell and she's so he was dating carly simon right before this yeah and so a lot of people thought this was about james taylor but she said it was not

[75:02]but the other people that people have guessed who it was about was kat stevens or yusuf islam david cassidy or david bowie people thought this song was about david bowie oh interesting interesting and didn't mick jagger sing backup on that one yes you're right johnny mitchell was uh james taylor's second favorite heroine second favorite heroine his first favorite heroine was just heroin it was just heroin russell russell gives a knowing nod it goes black tar

[75:36]oh yeah i'm going to an all dark opium den later it's gonna be really fun all right next song on the list this is 1974 this is queen the seven seas of rye you guys know this song no no nobody knows this song russell oh here we go there we go oh that was nice who's playing is is freddie mercury playing the piano on this one that is that is freddie

[76:02]mercury on the wow oh that's great and it's kind of got some billy joel stylings to it like and so i was thinking like well what's the connection with freddie mercury and david bowie what is it they probably had sex with each other it's under pressure they did under pressure i thought erin was right actually guess what studio they recorded under pressure at the trident studio oh man that is an all-time i love that song so much guess who lived in the apartment

[76:35]next door a young lad because it's london named vanilla ice and you heard that he goes damn that sounds good except for that last note legally because it's like it's like a little bit different yeah it's a little bit different the last song on the list this song actually was on the list once before on our greatest glissando list ever remember that when you rip your finger up and down the piano it hurts so remember your entire thumbnail bang a gong get it

[77:05]on check this out this was recorded on the beckstein at the trident what yeah it's a great song ah there's the gliss that gliss didn't it sound kind of similar to maybe a gliss on spiders from mars or whatever this song that we're listening to i would say it did life on mars yeah right there there absolutely it's the same you guys want to know why it sounds so similar

[77:33]yeah there were actually two piano players on that song and one of them they hired just to do the glissando it was rick wakeman it was the same guy who played with david boy they hired him just to do that glissando isn't that crazy it's amazing he just walked in like one hour of work just like okay take my check so so you guys were looking what happened to the piano so they were moving it in like 1980 to a different studio and they had it in a cradle uh-oh and it must have been aaron who was running the machine on it or something

[78:01]they lifted it up in the air and they dropped it and it got destroyed and so they rebuilt it and it sold at some auction but nobody knew where it ever ended up oh that's horrible russell that that list got me in my emotions that's got me in my feelings wow that was up and down i mean it was like a keyboard it was like a that many connections for a long time kudos russell that's amazing that was fun to learn about uh oh that's it's crazy that it's one piano is that famous they did all the thing plus a person

[78:32]coming in and doing just a glissando that's what i pictured life was like for all music majors in college like i'm studying real shit and they're doing like and they're like listen this is a song about a ballooning thing over the arctic or whatever speaking speaking of music majors i think the reason they hired him is because he was poor at the time and they felt bad for him so they're like well we can give rick a part on this on the t-rex album and get him a paycheck oh nice so they hired two pianos piano players one for him just to do the glissando to get him some money

[79:01]yeah we got a check here in the memo it just says glissando do you know what that means all right kooks this was dedicated to his son this also sounds like paul mccartney right i mean i don't know i don't know why i was just thinking of paul mccartney for this half this album but to me this almost makes it sound like he's making fun of music like in general he's like check what i can do for his kid right where he's like welcome to the world we're kooky yep enjoy i was reading that uh he was listening to neil young when he found out his wife was pregnant

[79:33]i was kind of curious what was your guy's reaction when you found out you were going to be a parent for the first time what what was your reaction oh super happy that's all i wanted i need attention i need attention so bad that i will create life to get more attention i will say we found out really early and my brother was was here visiting us i don't know if i've ever told him this my brother was here visiting us and i don't know if i've ever told him this my brother was here visiting us the moment we found out but it was so early that it was like still too

[80:00]early to tell somebody so it was like a like super silent like mini celebration and then just like pretend like the rest of the weekend was normal no big deal but uh yeah i'm totally stoked man part of me was a little upset though when we found out because i was convinced because i was like this jenny and i were like okay we're gonna have a kid we need to have sex until we have a kid i was like yes this is it this is gonna be you need me to try to do that every night of the week well i've only been practicing this since eighth grade like this is what i've been ready for my entire life i am i have i have been out

[80:34]in the field doing my marches i've been doing my calisthenics i've been getting ready i've been laying on my back yeah i've been like i can do this i could do this yay i could do it twice a night if you really want to it's not a big deal to me and then literally she got pregnant in like a week and a half and i was like oh that's great that's awesome you know what i mean it was like the dan and dave olympics things where they were both into kathleen got all fired up and then one of them just didn't qualify for the yeah that was it that was me with

[81:01]this thing i was like this is gonna be the greatest and i was like oh yep it's great i'm happy matt how would you what would you compare your response to what olympic event would you compare your response to finding out you were gonna be a dad uh probably the russian doping no i mean like look this will be coming out somewhere close to mother's day right and for some people i'm not lying i'm bringing it down but it's okay like for some people mother's day people are trying to get pregnant right and they can't get pregnant and mother's day is horrible you should never ask

[81:33]anybody well how come you're not pregnant yet and you know when you guys gonna have kids and stuff like that it is biting and it's like a knife to the heart of some people so we had to do all sorts of stuff so we had to do like pgd and all of this stuff right and so you know when finally after like three and a half times of going through ivf and stuff you know we got leo which was this is kind of a good story too so all right so we did all this stuff and it takes all this money to do it right so then the second one so we had leo three and a half great everything's happy so

[82:02]the second time we figure out that they you can do insurance on this right and so you can essentially up front by two rounds right so if you have it on the first one it's double if you have it on the second one you paid whatever yet on the third one well you got it for like a third of you know two-thirds of the cost whatever if you didn't get pregnant after three you got like sixty percent of the money back for this kind of deal right what kind of weird system is this well it's a very elaborate scam yeah so so of course we're like well we'll just pay for the

[82:35]insurance that's why i took three and a half times last time so as you can guess how many times do you think it took with eddie to get uh for the for the stick one in and have it start cooking yeah how long do you think just one first time yeah first time one time that's fucking kids man even before they're fucking born they're just taking that money from you like crazy but so he paid double ended up with a kid who cares everybody's happy kind of there's some there's some analysts sitting in a cube like aaron looking at the insurance payments like

[83:03]these suckers we're gonna get so yeah so so russell it was a very long journey and it was awesome and it was great and please my only psa is never ever ever ever ever ask anybody well how come you're not pregnant yet or when you got how many kids you guys you know things like you don't know what people are going through so and russell i want to say that my wife never said that this was a very long journey it was more like a centimeters jersey not a kilometers jersey right jersey are you saying

[83:40]jersey i think she said it was a very wide journey she was like she said yeah it was actually a short but wide so actually it's kind of the same if you go by volume really it's like a it's like when they change the shape of the mountain dew bottles like it's still the same amount it just looks like a really it's like a thumbs yeah journey but like wide it looks weird

[84:00]compared to maybe others that they've seen and it's not a big deal it's like oh this is the i'm not used to this wide mouth bottle you know it's like this is all it all comes in now for the rest of your life actually all right quick this was not my favorite song in that album this is probably my least favorite he's bringing up some alistair crowley stuff which i don't know if you've heard of alistair crowley he's bringing up i don't even get it's like witches and stuff the lyrics on this one are they they definitely get more sort of esoteric and impenetrable at some point david bowie did just start having computers

[84:33]make lyrics for him like he would work with programs to just or he'd pick words out of a hat i think everybody's trying to analyze his lyrics and he's probably like yeah you know i just put some words together i don't know i'm or i'm i listened to this album on repeat all day today and then i threw in black star his last album once which i think still is amazing um but it is it's it's very like radiohead adjacent so it can be sometimes abrasive to listen to but uh yeah i mean sometimes he was just saying things because they sounded good i mean like why do i keep bringing up

[85:03]paul mccartney but mccartney would do the same thing like let me just make up some words that sound nice to this music and sometimes like when you're behind a microphone you say things that you don't really mean and maybe you're playing a character and it's not really what you think and actually you're kind of a nice guy so aaron i forgive you fill your heart appreciate you the only one on the album not written by bowie you but i don't know who cares uh now this is my favorite song on the album i know i said really

[85:35]i know i said life on mars is a top five so i guess this has got to be top four after that beach boys and that one song i can't remember but i want to say it's a christmas song is it mariah carey's christmas song i think it might be that might be number three this is you're thinking of backdoor santa oh god you're right that is one of the greatest songs of all time i love music uh andy warhol which i love this track i think it sounds so good this is the one that started with the squeaking and the beeping and stuff at the beginning yeah they let some kind of studio backtalk go on

[86:02]and he's like it's not warhol it's warhol this is so good it's a pretty interesting uh documentary on netflix right now about andy warhol what's it called uh i don't know i got there's like nine episodes and i got through like three i mean it's it's a pretty heavy stuff yeah well i think it's a lot like sufficient it's a lot like andy warhol right where everybody's like this is really super fucking important and then you actually learn about the guy and you're

[86:30]like i don't get it like i don't get like even this they sent this song to andy warhol to be played to play it and he never said anything about it he didn't but he's like i have no idea if he liked it or what he yeah it's i don't know every time i see something by andy warhol i'm like oh i'm like okay i did like the i did like the i don't know if it's an acoustic guitar what it is but it was kind of a fun fun music i didn't get the lyrics at all but whatever yeah i don't know if it's an acoustic guitar what it is but it was kind of a fun fun music i didn't get the lyrics at all but whatever that acoustic guitar reminds me of the who i don't know who's doing it like i keep thinking we we hear these boy albums and then and i don't know we hear that we hear the elton john type

[87:01]influence or style and the who and the beatles and i don't know who was influencing who but yeah it's all kind of part of the same matt you were talking and i spoke over here yeah guess who though yes guess who no but who is who influencing yes but yeah i don't know who but it seems like it must have been listening to each other and them all right song for bob dylan just like they were listening are you talking about the band yeah the band them you guys hear freebird in that guitar

[87:36]i i heard leonard skinner the whole time here that's what i heard too yes i was googling leonard skinner david bowie earlier today yeah and this is like five years before skinner's first album i was gonna say it's like 76 77 with this song yeah i'm not i don't know if there's any link that skinner listened to this or what but i i heard it too here uh queen bitch love it yeah yeah and how much does this sound like ziggy stardust

[88:07]right this could be right on ziggy stardust classic song you can really hear ziggy i mean that next album in this one i was kind of i kind of wish this was the end i know sometimes you close with a slower song but i wish that would have been the end i love that song i'm with you russell one thousand percent i mean i'll play the beulie brothers but it's like it's just it's word salad again it's another one of his word salad songs where he just does

[88:36]whatever he wants so there we go folks that is it for david bowie hunky dory it turns out we're all kind of big bowie fans we didn't know it before but i think we we love him now uh let's let's get into our rating system it's popular it's patented and now it's time people are doing in the dark the patented and very popular beck did it better rating system

[89:03]what would be the worst date to do in the dark do you think like absolute bottom of the barrel uh axe throwing yep can't top that that would be pretty good let's get into the rating system probably it should be the worst date to do in the dark like absolute bottom of the barrel it should be the worst date to do in the dark like absolute bottom of the barrel like absolute bottom of the barrel oh this person sounds really interesting and then you see him at the end that would be all you all you if i was doing that i would be like they can hear how heavy i'm breathing

[89:34]that would be my only thought again rob they probably have music or other people talking they can't hear everything i don't know why but in my mind it's silent it's like uh it's like one of those float chambers aaron have you ever been in a float chamber yes haven't we talked about that i've been in a float chamber twice it's amazing yeah we have talked about i love it fuck i was gonna put that in the chat but i'm not gonna put that in the chat i'm gonna put that in the chat an air in or air out but you just ruined it aaron so thanks a lot just like your new car now uh let's talk about it's not ruined it's gonna get fixed it's gonna be fixed to its pre-loss

[90:00]picture and aaron driving up i have the quote from the insurance company with his tan colored hyundai and then the door is like a much darker tan oh i screwed that up too honey sorry about that 88 hunky dory 88th greatest album of all time if we think that's good we're gonna say this is and this is this is a system i came up with okay so that's actually part of the reason why the guys love it they celebrate it they think it's great this is everybody's favorite part of the podcast they definitely don't just fast forward to hear the ending joke which is what i assume people do but do they do you think what part do you think

[90:34]people fast forward to if they're going to fast forward through something would it be the ending joke until it's over until it's over they just know yeah it's already shut off they just want to hear what's happening in uh rosie's life and then after that they just shut it off that's kind tone if it's perfect at 88 if it you thought it should have been higher it shouldn't be this low well guess what just like at an adult party that aaron wants to go to uh it got rolling boned okay

[91:01]it should be higher up on the list which in this case would be a lower number but in our case on the podcast it would actually be lower no yeah it would be lower on your phone because it would be earlier in history and of course your podcast app is chronological and speaking of chronological if you think that this is no good okay just like apparently i think chronological stuff uh-uh don't need it spider-man i'll watch it any damn way i please thank you very much uh that would be a rolling groan you don't like it you don't think it's good unlike certain segments of the podcast

[91:32]which some people keep doing even though they know it's not good in fact when they edit the podcast they're starting to do things like watch other things or listen to other podcasts while they're editing the podcast doesn't seem like maybe that's a good sign for the podcast but it's fine i'm sure it's gonna all work out uh listen that was that's the rating system that was a long run man i don't know how many that was like one breath in that hole that was pretty good impressive i've been running in the dark sir you're at dinner why are you breathing so hard yeah it's dinner

[92:04]uh all right so what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling groan matt what do you think i think it's rolling well toned uh i struggle to see like there's like this is just an good album um and so like is there too much bowie in the top 100 i don't know i mean this is pretty close to the ziggy you know from a time standpoint so good point you know maybe it should be a little

[92:35]bit lower i don't know but i but because i do like it so much i'll just say it's rolling well toned um i but this i think this album is better than station to station right yeah i think it's way better way better it's not even close in my mind but i don't know i like i like i like a guy just singing on the piano and singing and with a guitar and singing i love it russell what do you think rolling well toned rolling bone or rolling grown guys we've talked before how beck

[93:00]was inspired by bowie i think he covered one of his albums with an orchestra before but beck did an interview with rolling stone about how bowie inspired him he said bowie's always been a guide post or a gravitational force for me he's someone you set your course to or measure what you're against and he actually said his real entry point into music was hunky dory which he listened to when he was 12 years old so he always he always loved bowie and he loved this album so when it comes to being inspired by david bowie and then inspiring this podcast who did it better did it better and boy is right he's

[93:32]12 year olds taking over okay he's not even alive anymore uh i love i love the music i love the piano and guitar and i was telling rob this beforehand one of my probably five favorite things we've done or that i've experienced through doing the podcast other than having fun with you guys is being exposed to david bowie and his music and his music and his music and his music and his bowie music i was never a fan before but i just absolutely love this i don't know if he should have three in the top hundred like matt said there's so many people we haven't listened to but i just really enjoyed it i'm gonna say it's rolling bone it should be higher on the list

[94:02]my top five moments from the podcast is aaron crashing the car uh and then number two is aaron buying the car so those are my uh my my third will be hearing about aaron's experience with the the repairman yeah yeah tune in next week to find out how it goes it's an eight-day repair so we'll see how it goes my list was not in chronological order so i hate that shit aaron what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown oh man uh matt and russell both make great points uh i agree with matt uh and rob i i don't i don't

[94:37]remember what even was on station to station i remember i liked it when we heard it so i like golden years that was like i think that is his one of his best songs that's true yeah it's hard to leave that one out no yeah so yeah bowie i'm the same as you guys like i never listened to bowie he's been a great discovery for me i will never get tired of listening to his albums uh it seems like maybe three in the top 100 is too many

[95:00]but we're just talking about this album right now i never got tired of it uh i did listen to george harrison all things must pass today because i wanted to say that one should be higher than this one but i still think this is i said and shout out to my brother who loves that that album but i still think this one's better so i'm gonna call it uh rolling well-toned all cars must pass by your retaining wall i'm gonna call it uh rolling well-toned all cars must pass by your retaining wall um none shall pass yeah over the retaining wall you gotta get past it you can't get over none shall i think what i think david boy though is ultimately what is your name ultimately what

[95:32]is your quest how do you get your car stuck on the top of retaining wall to drive car good you did not uh why do they call him little rosie i don't really know matt do you know i just hear it all the time it's weird like he's taller i think he's taller why do they call him why do they call him little shoulders too yeah he's taller feet i don't know penis looks like yoda it does wait are you saying yoda looks like a penis or are you

[96:04]saying the penis looks like yoda here's the thing guys i always i think david boy is ultimately a tragic story because getting drafted before michael jordan and not having that great of a career you just hate to see it you know what i mean surprised he was that good on the guitar with it's crazy it's crazy to me listen but he couldn't step on any wah-wah no any wah-wah he couldn't step on it that's a good joke okay that's actually that is a good joke joe joe from woodbury appreciates

[96:32]that one more than anybody this album is a rolling under appreciation nobody knew how good this album was until he came out with other good albums and they're like oh this album was actually pretty good it gives me such hope and i'm like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry for this podcast that somebody's gonna come along in the future some sort of audio archaeologist is gonna dig back and go you know if you actually listen back through the 300 hours that they have put out currently you'll get why matt not eating vegetables is such a funny gag or why the airplane

[97:02]thing is so good you just have to get way into it and i that i'm happy about that it you know makes me think that maybe i'm not just wasting my life here all right so anyway on that positive note next up we have an album that's inspired by an old nintendo game that's inspired by an old game the game uh do you guys ever play bad dudes yeah all right this is baduism by erica bad dude it was like double dragon but not play double dragon it was like double dragon with guys with cut off jeans but you're just too lazy to look it up online erica bad dude if you want to hear

[97:37]i've got the perfect podcast for you beck did it better guys do we need to start re-recording i had my fly down oh my god you guys just ignore me i'm gonna turn my video off here uh

[98:00]oh this bread oh this bread is so good oh man i love spitting on this bread i'm bad road road in my mouth dinner in the dark guys dinner in the dark i'm telling you i don't know why you wouldn't want to do something like that i have dinner in the dark all the time just put the covers up over my head what we're not saying no we're not saying no you have to say yes
