[04:33]school that's great now here's the deal uh we have i got three guys here with me who love to talk about music and nothing else and we're totally focused on the music i've got russell in minnesota russell how are you doing tonight guys podcast listeners have been talking about our toilet seat style they're pointing their stubby little fingers at me they're hoping our podcast topics will drop and die but we're not going to do that we're going to do it we're going to wave our freak flag high oh yeah flag wave the freak flag aaron put your pants

[05:01]back on the freaking speaking of putting aaron's pants back on russell did send a message on one of the latest albums saying we are using the f word too much so guys this is going to be an official f word free show for me i'm not going to drop the casual effort anymore russell made a good point we are not going to say that anymore we're going to be clean we're going to have a show that kids are going to listen to now in the past every other time i've said we're going to do a clean by a mile but not this time f word do you mean feet or foot long hot dogs which one

[05:30]start over this is out of hand both of those make me think about fucking that's what's so hard about this rule freak play and then when i said then when i said so hard it made me think about it again all right i got matt minneapolis matt how are you doing i'm fucking great thanks for having me oh no matt's kind of a brat that's kind of a brat and listen all the way all the way from i'm not going to listen to your language cues

[06:01]all the way from the bay area but he did just get back from iowa where he was competing in iowa's second favorite sport butchering 5.3 million chickens to stop the spread of avian flu i've got aaron in california aaron how are you doing i mean it's true the avian flu thing is serious i mean i think that someone has to oh you're on glenn taylor's situation you're on taylor's side so cool so cool look at that hey you know some castles made of sand wash into the

[06:30]sea so let's let's talk about this before time gets away from us aaron wouldn't know because he only goes to the beach during low tide he's like what castles made of sand washing into the sea that's so strange more like us being one million miles from the sea because we're only here during low tide uh listen let's get right into guys let's not mess around we are getting right into the voicemail they're back how do you get a hold of the voicemail oh 802-277-BECK yep we had exactly in two weeks

[07:01]due to a couple episodes of me begging for people to call we had and who knows why that is yeah i mean who knows really like i think those those comments were taken out of context by the way hey gentlemen this is a close personal relative of aaron's first of all i wanted to give a recap of the 2022 drake relay yes you're not familiar with the drake's relay it's sort of like the arnold classic but with actual athletes and i can confirm that the final attendance on a very rainy very cold

[07:37]saturday may have been six but it did include myself aaron's dad and former nfl star tim dewitt yeah the only thing i wanted to note is that in the neil young episode uh you mentioned that johnny cash has a cover of after the gold rush i'm pretty sure that doesn't exist i could not find it made that up oh second of all i'm curious what is your dream cover song if you could have one artist cover

[08:00]one song what would that be uh so uh we have a voicemail so i beg the voicemail callers to call and ask us a question and then when they did i got really mad that we have to do some extra work for drake relays yeah it's how i'm swearing too i had i had i had an inkling that we might get a call from the stands at the drake relays i thought that might happen yeah it could happen but i'm excited i like this question about about cover songs no no no no but don't you have don't you have to issue an apology or something it sounds like you're just making up johnny cash songs that don't exist there yeah aaron wait that wasn't me that was

[08:33]rob what are you talking about yeah that was me listen it might surprise you but i just lie about i just lie about things to make me look better that might be shocking to some people that maybe some things get embellished maybe some things are uh all right lies uh i did learn my lesson after winning uh best kisser uh in high school that one time so i will not lie ever again what was the lesson learned what uh what was the lesson i it was for french class it was a

[09:02]different thing i listen i got confused it's no big deal made that joke one million times now um yeah i did think that johnny cash did cover after the gold rush but it turns out i was thinking of the pocahontas cover that he did of neil young oh right which which i yeah which i don't especially care for it's it's this bizarre like but i i looked and i looked and i was like who covered after the gold rush because that's why i got into the song that's why i think it's such a bop and it turns out you know who it was it was when jenny and i went on a big linda ronstadt

[09:35]kick oh she has a great cover of after the gold rush which you can hear playing right now not talking to these three because i forgot to load it but you'll be able to hear it on the edit so russell you'll hear it at least the other two probably won't um but it is i mean of course ronstadt so it's an absolute jam so uh i want to uh i want to issue an apology i guess we you know what i guess we're gonna do a while it's been a while since we've made a mistake i this is this is so strange but and now an apology 20 30 episodes better i'd like to take

[10:04]this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody especially not little rosie i don't even know why they call her rosie anyways are you mad listen you know nobody likes a narc either right yeah yeah yeah imagine pointing out when people do things wrong like who would do that that's so weird i don't even get it so uh aaron what's what's your boring answer for what song you want to hear covered so here's the thing here's here's what happened we rob gave us a heads up that we're gonna

[10:31]need to discuss this question and two songs came to mind for me uh one of them was uh teenage dirtbag by weedus um sadly or perhaps not sadly i ended up down a deep teenage dirtbag rabbit hole last night wait wait wait say that again so i can clip you saying you're down a deep teenage rabbit hole i yeah i want to be able to play that on something this was my dream cover song it turns out harry styles covered this song back when he was with one direction and it fucking rocks there's

[11:04]a number of one direction covers of teenage dirtbag on youtube that are amazing i watched at least three of them phoebe bridgers also has a great cover of teenage dirtbags and that one's been done even weedus we just went back and redid an acoustic version of teenage dirtbag many years later and it's amazing that's live in one of those like little paste magazine live studio things so under this you've been hearing under this you've been hearing harry styles's version of teenage

[11:32]dirtbag yeah i will say i will say harry styles is coming for 10 concert dates in new york in the fall of which i've been getting harassed every day by my daughter here's the thing here's the other thing that happened i was telling i was talking to my lady about this question because she has a better solution for dream cover songs but i told her about the teenage dirtbag rabbit hole i went down sent her the youtube video of harry styles i haven't seen her for six hours i don't know what happened but uh i'm a little i don't know i i'm not sure where she went but you

[12:05]know she's enjoying the harry styles videos um but my real submission is the teenage prayers brown bottle and i'll tell you what i'm not sure where she went but i'm not sure where she went but i would like to hear this covered by britney howard of elder shakes now just right now that's that's my that's my dream wow aaron you just didn't disappoint i i understood almost none of what you said it literally was like you're speaking a different language like that's wild

[12:32]i'm sure that the freaks who listen to this for the music stuff thought like oh wow aaron's so smart i have no idea the freaks who listen for the backwards toilet stuff oh yeah the same opinion yeah that hasn't changed the teenage prayers are a band i saw at the 400 bar it was like me and eight other people and they don't exist anymore and i had a great live version of brown bottle teenage prayers if you're listening please help me find this live version of brown bottle which was on an ipod that i had that was stolen i can't find it anymore i have i think i've told you about this i've i've direct messaged the

[13:02]band on social media i can't find it but you never know when it might get to them hey please anybody listening right now do what aaron just said and again i can't repeat it because we just don't have the time and it's definitely not because i wasn't really listening message me on twitter and i'll send you a message and i'll send you a message and i'll send you a message them for aaron let's get this done aaron's a good guy okay right our reach extends far we've got to know someone who knows the teenage prayers all those arrests got taken off got got taken off the record when he turned 18 so don't worry about that just just help him settle please yeah i'm begging you i would pick you know what i want is i want to hear this song i think this song should

[13:34]be covered by a ton of people and it's uh rod stewart i know i'm losing you let's hear it it's so good the problem is you know who i want to hear cover this is james brown i want to hear james brown do this song god that would be funky as hell on the ones yes okay unfortunately it's never going to happen

[14:00]i will say i mean this song itself is a cover because it's it's probably a holland dozer holland tune it's a temptation song it's a double cover it's like on a cold winter night aaron double cover speaking of double cover it's a temptation song it's a double cover it's a temptation song it's a can i tell you guys a story yeah okay sure so i was in hours go ahead i was i was on a work trip this week and the first thing i ever do when i go into a hotel is i immediately crank the ac down to 65 degrees it took a turn every time every hotel i'm in is 65 degrees yes and so this hotel i was

[14:32]in this last weekend it turns out i had two like twin beds for whatever they gave me like the room with two of the really small beds and twins and i got back to my room one night it was late and i went to bed it was just freezing in there my new move if i've ever got two beds rip the comforter off the second bed and go double comforter i'm covering the cover yep on a bed in a hotel room what are your thoughts on that move well i'm just gonna say this number one okay you never see them putting the comforters into the

[15:00]cleaning cart when you see the cleaning crew come by so the first thing i do is i rip off the comforter do not touch it anymore because i have never seen them wash a comforter next time you walk by a cleaning cart check if there's a comforter in there i guarantee there's not russell i made a bad choice yes so your double comforter that's just double the cum that you're getting just saying hold on hold on what what night what night did you get there russell you shouldn't be eating your meals off the comforter yeah well what night what night did you get what night did you get there you got there on tuesday yeah so monday night the night before there you've got rob who's got nothing on but his

[15:34]socks he's just watching nothing but like uh i'm watching draft day you're watching draft day sitting in that thing and then you come in the next day and then you've got that yeah yeah uh i know i think i think that's great russell i love that idea i love a cold hotel room it's one of my favorite i have to admit it's one of my favorite things and it's something that will instantly go away the moment that you uh get married or have a your spouse in the hotel room

[16:00]with you where they actually like rooms it turns out so hot that they smell like a sock by the morning that's what that's what the point where we are now we are in the hot room phase of our marriage it's an absolute awful thing although i will say what about you aaron what's your sleeping what's your sleeping temp style sleeping temp style jesus christ have you been listening to the podcast at all i don't live in a i don't live in a climate controlled environment my sleeping temp is whatever the house is doing on any given day so that's right here it's a caveman i forgot i've

[16:30]told you that i don't like to have the uh blanket or the sheet tucked in at the end of the bed i like to let i like to let my ankles be free and it's not that's not a consistent uh opinion within my house so we have we have some discussions about what that is and i don't like to let my i was more interested you mentioned you know to russell like if you get married like that seems like its own podcast like maybe we should just like have a separate podcast just about russell's plans for for life and that's oh my god that would be advice maybe we have some people call in it would get triple the subscriptions listen guys call in give russell some advice okay we we want

[17:04]to have you here at match what's your sleeping style you seem like you might be a cold sleeper yeah no i try to i try to find as cold of sleep as i can get without like freezing if that makes sense like so that i have to really wrap up in the wrappers like a double comforter move no no that would be absolutely horrible because within like 13 seconds i'd be sweating hot yeah thing and can't move it out yeah one or two feet out that would not be good so

[17:32]no i'm constantly trying to find you know depending on the season which blanket i need for that season and can can i sneak the window open in a room without sarah coming in and shutting in things like that like there's nothing better than having the window open when you're sleeping oh you get in that you get in that bedroom and you're ready to do something sick you're ready to open up the window and pray your wife doesn't see it when she comes into bed oh that's the dirtiest thing you can do it's so great matt what is the cover what is the song you want to hear cover what's one of

[18:01]your favorite cover songs um well i live for cover songs and there's too many to name and i think the best time to hear a cover song is like at any concert it's usually in the encore you know and it's like the second to last song and it's there to pump up the crowd and all that stuff so i don't know i i cannot get enough of the other kind of genre of covers if you will that i've really gotten into lately is the the folky artist who's playing really slow and they come up with

[18:30]like a really fast song and then they like tune it down or whatever it will rearrange it what's the proper term rosie you know put their own spin on it yeah um they slow down the tempo yeah and i don't know they arrange it in their fashion or whatever and so we were at a concert at the turf club sarah and i went wow the turf oh what a great spot yeah so a friend of hers cara lawden did part of her set she did um when you were when you were young by the killers but it had it was her and a

[19:06]cello and this cello guy started out and you had no idea for like the first 30 seconds what he was doing but he's just going it's beautiful that's awesome matt is making great cello movements obviously it comes yeah it's a visual oh my god yeah he's wiggling fingers up and down like he's doing the bow yeah oh my god it's bradley dupre stuff over there over my head is that behind the back of the uh behind the back bow yeah the back of the future yeah you know but then you realize

[19:33]what song you're playing like this is like a awesome version like this is somebody's song and they have taken and did their own so everybody knows it so that's yeah i don't know i don't know that's the other genre so i i don't know but if i'm looking for you know rosie's the iowa guy i mean he's got these questions and i don't know why he even calls in anymore with these questions but he obviously respects our opinion yeah clearly you know you know what i think by far the greatest cover song of all time is what's that it is gin and juice no words i always used to think it was

[20:06]fish yeah but it's not because napster told us it was fish just like just like big soft boobs uh jpeg turned out to be a virus almost every time why did you lie to me so bad i just want to see those things come on what are you doing i'd like the idea of matt playing matt's playing his cello behind his head like he was gave me an idea of a back to the future where he's playing the cello and then somebody gets on the phone and

[20:34]goes mozart mozart this is your cousin that new sound you've been looking for i've got it right okay now it seemed the other isn't really getting it yet i was actually listening to a lot of covers the other week and it was because i had a friend a female friend actually and she told me she had joined a choir version of a female barbershop quartet hello so all the parts are arranged for like a barbershop quartet and so i started getting into barbershop

[21:03]quartet music for like two days and if you just go look for like barbershop quartet covers on whatever playlist you're looking for and i'm like oh my god i don't know what to do with that you will have great music all day we'll keep you entertained forever i showed you guys i think i i think i was you know in a state one night and i sent you guys a tiktok channel where a guy just does barbershop quartets but it's just himself and he records himself like four times it was the saddest fucking thing i've ever seen in my life this guy just think of this guy be like all right

[21:30]i'm gonna start a barbershop quartet okay who should i ask goodbye i don't have any friends so i just have to do this all by myself uh-oh okay well let's do it roxanne you don't have to put on the red light i'll tell you i'll tell you the best lately though it was uh post malone did like a uh like a charity thing where he and then travis barker the drum right i don't know who the other guitarists were they did the entire or they did like an entire set of nirvana songs post malone singing nirvana songs was awesome

[22:04]i didn't ever think post malone was that great i thought he was much better in the pick and roll stocking and then oh god more pick and pop no you're right yeah like you're 17 nba jokes that's what we need more nba talking and don't look up what people are saying about carl malone now on the internet just ignore this it's not don't worry about it it's not a big deal what people are saying or what is documented as fact yeah well okay well it's like hey listen we don't have to get involved it's just people saying i mean it's like wikipedia you can't really trust

[22:34]what they put on wikipedia can you or a police report or whatever um here's the thing is that there's a bluegrass cover of acdc that i'm gonna put under this all these covers i've put under it obviously because i'm so good at this but there's an acdc thunderstruck that's bluegrass it's just fun it's fun as fuck aaron why don't you like that gourd song i just because because of the trickery because we all thought it was fish and it wasn't fish for years and then and then it just

[23:01]and then i and then i think i mean then it leads to people not listening to the original enough and the original is great so i i'm i don't know that's my that's my issue with gourds i mean it's so good it's better than the original is what you're saying absolutely not not better but it's i mean i feel like it somehow eclipsed the popularity of the original in certain circles and that seems not right to me i know the lyrics of the original because of that gourd's cover slash fish um can i see i hated it i hated it and then i found out it wasn't fish and i'm like oh i can

[23:31]get into this noodling fucking fish meanwhile i'm just trying to fit in i'm like oh this is crunchy this is crunchy i like that it's so crunchy uh one last story with covers i know this is going too long but the the i have this thing i do uh with my wife in bed and it tickles me to no end and this this is that it tickles you too anytime i'm in bed and my wife gets into bed and she just happens to not get under the sheet she gets on she gets under the comforter but not under the sheet

[24:01]she hates that more than anything it drives her crazy you know how have you ever slept next to somebody where they're under the sheet and she gets under the sheet and she gets under the sheet and you're not or vice versa it's it's it's an impingement it feels terrible like it's just you're trapped in there but it's worse if you're the one under the sheet and the other person on top of the sheet like so she'll just do it she'll just do it by mistake and of course no big deal now you know that being married to me guys it's gotta be so it's gotta be so much fun i i don't listen to a lot of the feedback i get because i do have noise canceling headphones but um so every

[24:30]time she gets on uh on the bed and she's not under the cover i say oh yeah this is your sick fetish and she gets really mad and i go oh you i go you're so sick you want to be above the cover when i'm under she goes no that was a mistake and i go oh that's sick oh you like this when you're above the cover you sicko and so now every time she gets it she pre-yells at me before i even get a chance to say anything she says i'm not doing this because it's my fetish this is just something that happens so again being married to me an absolute joy all right let's get into everybody's favorite segment like you could do some dry humping that way but like your sheets better be like really soft

[25:03]like you wouldn't want a hair and did we not talk about your mom listening to you to this podcast a week ago that's true yeah you're just like i'm disregarding the problem is she's so far behind that i can like forget and be like oh my mom's not gonna hear this and then like six months from now she'll be like i heard what you said about dry humping that's gross so moms love dry humping it's the best kind of humping for moms right i mean you really want to be like oh my mom's more into full penetrative sex like forget about it didn't rob just like a few weeks ago have a translated word for this this behavior or not what was it rob fraudage

[25:35]there you go it's also a bing search when you're really in trouble i was just thinking about this the other day like it's time my bing searches now have like multiple adjectives for fraudage long brown hair 40 to 50 years old you know stuff like that like it really technical uh aaron rolling on how's it going with you oh it's going great as usual uh it's been a good week i'm really excited because i finally uh got the marukami um book norwegian

[26:05]wood back on the internet and i'm really excited about it i'm really excited about it i'm really excited about it i'm really excited about it i'm really excited about it i'm really excited about it the libby app so i had started on paper and then i had to hand it back to the library and then i had to wait six weeks and i got it back on libby so i'm reading aren't you you're supposed to put the fun stuff at the end you start with the boring stuff yeah that's true yeah yeah that's a good that's a good point i'm sorry i'm sorry to uh disappoint go out of order here but okay well well is this the guy who wrote the pastabania blog no no no no this is this is uh this is this is um we're coming the japanese uh author uh this is a great book norwegian wood and i don't

[26:36]know for sure yet how much the the beatles song ties in except that he goes to visit this woman and her friend at a sort of mental hospital and the friend plays he wants about a girl or should he say that well that's the thing is he doesn't need a girl no it's a great story so highly recommend i mean i'm only halfway through but i think i think i can recommend it at this point so that's been a highlight for me over the last week that's what i've been trying to do um but here's

[27:00]the thing here's here's a question i have for you guys okay uh i try not to get like too involved in consumerism right but like i buy things just like just like anyone buys things and there are a couple of like marketing phrases that will get me every time like every time if i if like this marketing phrase is on a product i'm gonna buy it and for me that phrase is slow dicks roasted like if you put the word roasted on anything i'm buying it man i walked into i walked into a pasta

[27:30]shop a week ago and up on the wall they had the menu you know all the different pastas and raviolis and tortellini and then they had a couple of sauces and one of the sauces was slow roasted tomatoes and i was like i gotta buy the slow roasted tomatoes i have to buy them like if it says slow roasted i'm buying it so i'm asking you guys like what's what's a trigger for you like if you see it like for matt it's probably reverse weave i don't know what it is for the rest of you guys but like what's what are some words that will like get you every time you're gonna buy something no matter what i don't know about like a phrase but like there's brands right that

[28:02]anytime i see we talked about this a couple weeks ago i think tops baseball so t-o-p-p-s anytime i see that like on uh instagram the other day they somebody's selling old tops baseball like themed t-shirts i'm like oh take my money so like yeah anything i think that's a little nostalgic like that yeah uh around that early 90s baseball for me seems to get me but there's something for me about the term sea salt oh i don't know what it is yeah i know in

[28:36]my head sea salt you're not gonna you know you're not gonna like it it's gonna be too strong it's always too it's always overboard you're never like damn i wish there was a little more sea salt on that candy bar right or whatever the hell it's on it's never it's never underdone russ russ is like sea salt this is more like c minus salt i don't think it's very good at all but i get it every time like sea salt and vinegar chips i get them and i'm like oh yeah i'm gonna

[29:00]like these so much and then at the end when i have like a hole in my tongue that it's burned in i was like oh that was rough that was rough i don't know what it is but i'm like oh yeah i'm gonna like these so much and then at the end when i have like a hole in my tongue that it's burned in i was like oh that was rough that is i didn't taste anything else it's just those chips russell what do you think mine has got to be i like going to sporting events and i like buying tickets on the secondary market and i like when they show the best value oh yes you can sort tickets by best value and if it's not a five out of five on best value i'm not buying those tickets i don't care where they're at i want to know that i'm paying slightly under whatever the face value was and i will spend hours like the day

[29:31]of a game just refreshing refreshing refreshing looking looking at the map but i've got to know that it's a five out of the five on the best value calculator on stubbub or whatever and we've seen from past experience that russell's an expert ticket buyer there's no reason to doubt russell's technique he's very very good at it um but so russell you understand that that website is trying to sell you the ticket also decides if it's the best value right it doesn't necessarily mean it's cheaper than face value they're just saying this is the best value but they're also in charge of every aspect hey hey rob rob rob you also recognize that when you

[30:05]order sea salt it's going to be way too salty but you do it anyway it's like right it's just aaron said it's a trigger it doesn't mean it's necessarily like from a science point of view like slow roasted versus like perfectly medium time roasted it's like the same thing like slow roasting doesn't actually do anything different but if i see it slower so i'm like well someone took the time to make this and make sure the sugar is caramelized exactly how i want them it's true if you saw like caramel popcorn it was like flash cooked you'd be like well i don't want

[30:33]that at all that seems like it's way too fast yeah yeah yeah no nobody likes that um well brick oven pizza oh i see that as opposed to as opposed to just like a pizza oh it's a brick oven pizza yeah they built a whole oven for this what if we combined all these phrases and we could make the perfect product and just sell it on amazon right like think about this we sell corn but it's slow roasted sea salt best value

[31:05]damn i'm buying that sounds good yeah no i'm saying brick oven cook yeah and then it comes also comes with sriracha i'm a sucker for anything that says sriracha on it well i don't know what it is that's so good matt rolling going how's it going with you uh good we had the i'm gonna take a little i'm gonna take a brick off of uh rosie's brick oven pizza today and go with you know how he does it so they had the nfl draft last week and you know my favorite topic of the

[31:35]season is you know how these pundits on all these channels have like just the dumbest things that they need to talk about because there's nothing else to talk about and so on one of the channels as i was watching they decided everybody decided to put a mock turtleneck on so they had the mock turtleneck draft because they've gone through like 16 other mock drafts and so they needed another reason to come up with another reason to have another draft so it was the mock turtleneck

[32:01]draft so again i got caught watching some idiots talking about the mock turtleneck draft and i was like what the draft so yeah you you couldn't pay me a thousand dollars to wear a turtleneck never gonna happen in my life that's a sweater i'm out on sweaters and turtlenecks will never happen russell take out your headphones for a second okay all right guys christmas is coming up or maybe i'm not sure actually i've kind of lost track of time should we get russell a turtleneck that says beck did it better on it yes oh so he looks like an uncircumcised penis i think that's

[32:30]a good idea a really good idea and he is all about marketing this podcast and he's got a lot of this podcast so there's no way that he would not wear it are you supposed to wear the turtleneck pulled up over your face i'm sorry i'm i'm well actually the actually the face comes out uh um during important times so it's actually not a big deal and it's actually kind of normal then too so it's not making fun of it is actually not cool and maybe if you're like a young kid and it kind of messed you up like pretty badly that it's actually uh it's actually just fine

[33:00]and uh and it turns out it doesn't really matter that much so russell put your headphones back in and don't ask what we were just talking about it was a top secret like i'm back you have your back but we are into the good season because we're in playoff basketball playoff hockey so it's actually like sports to watch and then baseball most wonderful time of the year i have been traveling and i'm not we're not gonna talk planes now but i i get down to the southeast a lot wait are you talking about basketball traveling are we talking about that way um and so every time i go

[33:33]into the south my new thing again this is kind of a russell and rosy things i'm going to talk about food in the last part but russell's got every time he does things he goes so every time i go to the southeast now the first thing i do usually i'm getting off a plane about noon as i go and find what i deem to be the best barbecue place yeah in these different towns okay love it and there's like so i was in charleston this week and stop at something called lou's barbecue house or whatever

[34:02]and it's awesome and they've got the the fires going when you pull up all that stuff it's it's awesome why are there not barbecue places in minnesota why why does why does this i mean like where i would say minneapolis people eat street social is a pretty good barbecue spot it's not like it's not like you're you're down your texas barbecue or anything like that but if you're in minneapolis you go to eat street social they got good food the best barbecue place i've ever been to and this goes against all of my

[34:32]personal code is attached to a gas station in kansas city it's called oklahoma joe's all right it's got the most amazing barbecue ever it's the type of place where there's you know a 200 person line out of the gas station but it is fantastic i do know that russell is opposed to gas station restaurants so if russell goes to a restaurant at a gas station that is a big co-sign well you know why the line is so long the barbecue is all locked up and you got to hit a buzzer every time you want to get it that's your best joke in life oh my gosh thank you so much

[35:02]i appreciate that yeah hey yeah you bet yeah i think you're wrong so it was my best joke i mean it was a good one but i don't know as you know yeah uh russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going everything is going okay in the real world as oh my god that's my standard now is is it okay or not okay in the real world but one thing i wanted to share with you guys i had a music experience a few weeks ago i went and saw footloose at the chan hasson dinner theater have you guys ever been to the chan hasson dinner i've never been

[35:32]you are you're seated at tables here we go here we go let's get it and so we go you guys can see what i'm looking right like here's my table i'm eating but the the stage is over there oh yeah so now i have to turn like this and then but then there's like four people at my table in front of me and i'm looking off over to the side here you know kind of a thing and so okay i digress russell it's not that bad i i'm no it sounds like you like it a little bit but if i had a choice i wouldn't go

[36:01]back well i really enjoyed it but that was one of the things i was going to ask you is because when you get there you essentially see if you have a group of four for example you either have booths which about 60 of them are all kind of at an awkward angle so you're going to be cranking your head or you're gonna have to sit like into the booth in a weird way or there are tables of six so you if if you have a group of four you're going to be sitting with two strangers and i know aaron's not down with that nope nope and don't be sneezing so what would your what would your

[36:30]preference be if you were sitting with two strangers and i know aaron's not down with that let's let's say two of your listeners and then another person let's say someone who's married to one of the listeners let's say they're like hey let's go to footloose and you had the choice of sitting in either the booth that is kind of awkwardly angled or a table with two people you don't know i you gotta go booth awkwardly angled it happens all the time at the comedy club here in the city sometimes you get a table where you're just the two of you sometimes you're sharing it with the other couple it's always a nightmare when you're sharing it with other couple even if they're nice you're still like oh

[37:01]i can't like i don't this is not my space i want my space i would rather look to the side than be sitting with a stranger it's a nightmare i agree so rob when you were at the comedy club if you're let's say you're at a table of four and it's just you and jenny do you guys sit on the same side of the table or do you sit across from each other we will always sit across from each other on dates but at the comedy club it's always jam-packed so we're always sitting next to each other just because it's like the kids on the airplane roll right like i gotta have somebody i know sitting next to me because i'm gonna be sitting next to each other and i'm gonna be sitting

[37:31]on their shit the whole time it's it's there's nothing i can do about it i don't know i'm i'm thinking about i'm thinking about changing my stance here so what like when does dinner come out when's the show come on like oh i'm thinking you gotta get the best seats you can to see the show like you're there to see the show you gotta you gotta do what you can to see the show you get there and dinner's probably two hours you go from dinner from like six to eight and then the show goes from eight to probably 10 30 with like a 20 minute intermission jesus how do you stay awake

[38:01]you're i mean you're sitting in the booth and it could be uncomfortable and you're there for a good five hours you need you need a good comfy chair man you're gonna be sitting that long you gotta you gotta pick the most comfortable chair you can be in that's that's the important part i mean five hours with a stranger support you need yeah man like it sounds like you're on a flight to london to go see a concert which is which it turns out it's not that cheap if you really look at all the numbers it turns out it's in the booth for five hours now you gotta go to the table man forget it you gotta be comfy yeah i actually did enjoy the show quite a bit i thought it was fun i i have

[38:30]never seen what luke has done i've never seen what luke has done i've never seen what luke has done the movie like i know of it i mean but i've never seen it it's kind of like greece you know i know one or two of the songs but i've never seen have you guys seen it no yeah oh yeah of course never seen footloose it's got one of the most iconic intros of all time footloose it's just the beat it's filmed in iowa isn't it what filmed in iowa said in iowa i mean that they're all wearing like cowboy boots yeah driving like pickup trucks they've got a hoop and a stick that they're playing with yeah yeah they're all driving those those old-timey pickup trucks with the big things over

[39:01]i guess i was just i guess i was just all right everybody go right like here's an estimate everybody estimate the percentage of kids at your high school who wore cowboy boots i'm gonna say 10 russell what do you got i'm gonna say five under under under 10 i'm gonna say five no really bro you guys grew up bro you got it yeah the stereotypes are there for a reason bro god rosie rosie rosie take your take your earphones out

[39:30]yeah they're out there they're out there yeah they're out there all right so nice mind was i right guys was i right footloose filmed in iowa i mean he's kind of proving my point yeah okay all right rosie he actually comes from a town where he can't dance that's the thing it has one of my favorite scenes of all time and russell did they have this in the play where he's so upset that the only thing he can do is go to a barn and dance it out he's got to dance it out kevin bacon is dancing it out was that in the play russell was there a scene where he was so upset he had to dance it out yeah i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know

[40:01]there was a lot of angry dancing and then there may have been uh me and one of the people that one of our listeners that went to this footloose show watched some of the scenes on youtube because i'd never seen the movie and that our listener wanted to show me what what what they were trying to reenact and i watched the angry like barn dance or whatever that is that guy needs to be locked up that person is a psychopath like if you ran into someone who's like angrily dancing like that that person there's padded walls that are needed i'm curious actually i think i'm curious about what

[40:34]time of day that person was showing you those videos was it like morning or was it like it was like later in the evening like when would you have been watching those videos i don't know erin you know our listeners are very dedicated god damn this is like a true crime podcast erin i love this shit you're so good you know what i was you know what i was asking you one question first before before we move on this might get edited out but would have you ever gone to a dinner show like that in a small theater or something like that and you're like oh my god i'm gonna go to a dinner with maybe somebody who's very very loud and part of the thing is they can't hear very well

[41:03]so they actually speak very very loudly and maybe it might be a genetic thing because it seems to run in the family quite a bit actually has that ever happened to you no no that that didn't really jump out but i will say that times one of our our listeners i'll say our listeners spouse um decided he was gonna tell a dirty joke and one of our listeners wasn't pumped oh that this this person was gonna tell a dirty joke so i'm kind of curious what what is your guys reaction so i i'm not really offended easily by jokes and that type of thing

[41:34]so yeah when this person said hey i'm gonna tell a dirty joke one of the people at our table was not thrilled that this person was gonna tell a dirty joke so what are your guys thoughts on dirty jokes in maybe company where dirty jokes aren't probably the right way to go love them just keep keep going you gotta no matter what you gotta pump that shit up especially if somebody else doesn't want them to do it i just the urge to be like oh yeah this is so much fun you keep gassing them up the whole time until they inevitably go too far and regret it i gassed

[42:04]and encouraged it too so there you go when it's when you when you are not the person telling the dirty joke and dealing with ramifications all all in but uh yeah it's a slippery slope it's a scary thing to be scary place to be i was gonna say i did enjoy the music uh the the show was very it was fun it was enjoyable it was a little it was every musical or every every show is 40 minutes too long like we're not living in a world where anyone wants to sit and sit and sit and sit and sit in a musical for two and a half hours anymore that's too long dog man the musical dog man the

[42:34]musical 55 minutes but i will say i was surprised i did not know all these famous songs were from footloose so i know footloose obviously but let's hear it for the boy didn't know that was a footloose song almost paradise didn't know that was a footloose song oh wow hold now for a hero i never knew any of these were footloose songs like they kept playing songs that i knew i was like this is badass yeah i got respect those are jams i like that i like the mental picture of rust being at the play and footloose

[43:04]comes on and rust looks around goes holy shit that's from this what i was gonna say is i don't know how if this normally happens that shows or if this is at the beginning of the movie but the very beginning of the musical they come out and they do footloose they sing the song and they're dancing i'm like why am i even here like if they're gonna give me a payoff at the very beginning why don't i just like get up and walk out like i thought i had to stay for two and a half hours

[43:33]to hear footloose at the end i didn't know they were gonna sing it right away you thought footloose was the closing number i thought it had to be i thought that's the whole point no russell it's listen sometimes you know what the problem is you're wound a little bit too tight you know what i would recommend you do what's that i would recommend you cut loose every once in a while i had a disturbing thing happen to me today at work i was drinking a uh a bubbly water

[44:16]and it turns out everybody's bubbly water had something on the tab like written on there it was like hey or whatever it's kind of a cute thing i have an unfortunate habit and i don't know why i do this but every time i open a can of pop or soda or whatever i open it up the tab i break it and i put it into the drink

[44:34]am i weird am i the only person who does this like i take the tab open i don't know why i somebody because they said what's on your tab and i go oh i put it in the can and they looked at me like i had three heads and i was like oh and they go why do you do that and i i was like i don't know i've always done it i i don't know if it's because maybe then i don't drink it too fast because i know i might die if on a pop tab which would be i mean if that was my funeral if that was on my tombstone zero people would be surprised died on a pop we've been at

[45:03]this for how long a year and a half maybe more we've learned a lot about each other we spend a lot of time together that is the weirdest thing any of you guys have ever said on the podcast that is the weirdest thing i've learned about any of you guys that's so did you hear the thing about how my wife's fetish is sleeping above the sheets while i sleep under it i mean that's sick that's not even close coming from you rosie like as the judge of the weirdest thing that ever come out of this podcast this is coming from a man who who recently sent you a video of my child taking off my sock so

[45:33]you really have to think about what you're saying yeah no and and i don't know why you guys don't do that huh you don't take the pop tab off and put it in the i i always turn the tab sideways to the right my pop tab has always turned 90 degree angle to the right that is fucked why do you do that because then you know it's your can then you know it's your can it's like it's like a beer thing from being in college where there's cans of beers all over like you got to have a way to flag your cans mine is always 90 good tab is 90 degrees that's so weird because when i chew tobacco i would always

[46:01]do that i'd turn my tab to the right too so i'm glad we never hung out that much russell that would have been listen i get it no i get it that's that's a good joke the other thing it turns out is so then they said well aren't you worried about it being dirty and i said well no that's not and they and then it turns out everyone i work with they wipe down the top of the soda can before they drink it oh i've never done that yeah you do that aaron i've never even no no i don't i don't but i know someone who does and uh yeah i never knew that either i didn't i know that was a thing

[46:33]because it's like if it sits in your fridge for a week it's like whatever is on there is gone why why what makes you think it's gone if it's in the fridge food doesn't go bad in your fridge what are you talking i'm saying well a person once told me that most pathogens can't survive more than 24 hours so whatever you think is on your can that's going to make you sick if it's been 24 hours since the thing landed on there it's probably gone so what if it's just like coming out of there it's going to kill anything on there anyway yeah i'm agreeing with you i do

[47:01]not wipe down my pop can i'm just saying i know someone who does and i i get it everyone i work with does and they again looked at me like i'm a freak because i didn't wipe down the pop can i've never even it's never occurred to me to wipe down the pop can before you're drinking listen text into the beck line hashtag uh uh hashtag wipe me down if you wipe down the pop can okay and it doesn't count if you have if you typed in hashtag wipe me down last week okay and even better we're now right under this entire bit we're listening to the great hit by a little webby featuring boozy

[47:35]badass wipe me down why do i feel like i'm gonna have to go into vimeo oh that's it i mean that is it to the club gas tank on he's still vip all drinks on me wipe me down wipe wipe me down wow unbelievable all right let's let's get into everybody's favorites part of the show

[48:01]nobody's favorite part of the show let's talk about the album real quick before we start let me tell you this how how many jimmy hendrix albums do you think we've done already just right now at the top of your head i think we did two we did experienced and then the other one electric lady i had one thousand percent forgot the fact that we did electric lady land i had to go to beck did a better google search find our web page okay and then type in electric lady land question mark and it turns out we did

[48:30]do it where i made a song about aaron small meat which i listened to and i laughed again uh but i totally forgot it it turns out jimmy hendrix was literally famous for four years before he died that's it yeah 66 to 70 pretty much from are you experienced to when he died was four years all this hendrix stuff that we have all the the songs the albums like the the there's some great live stuff if you want to listen to some stuff he's doing live it's unbelievable that's four that's four years and part of it right is that he had this tragic i

[49:00]mean jimmy hendrix whole life is kind of a tragic story grew up uh with with parents where one got pregnant before he went into the army and then it was a whole disaster yeah he he he had this he the dad and him never got along the mom uh was super sick which actually they think is what maybe part of castles made of sand is written about he got caught riding around in a stolen car twice and so the judge said listen you can go to the military or you can go to jail he chose to go to the military became a paratrooper uh did the the thing that i would definitely do where

[49:30]when he was in the military he was like you know what it kind of sucks i'd rather play music so he goes to the military and he goes hey guys just let you know i'm gay and they're like what he's like i'm gay check out this boa i like to wear and they're like whoa you are so gay and so they gave him an honorable discharge and he went over to london he they do uh he meets uh mitch mitchell and uh noel redding they come out with are you experience become absolutely giant in the uk right they are trying to to do this album access bolded love they're trying to record it before he

[50:03]can go to monterey pop um they don't quite get it done he goes to monterey pop of course sets his guitar on fire after that and they're like oh my god i'm gay i'm gay i'm gay i'm gay i'm gay i'm gay and again here you're hearing the intro to the monterey pop festival where he plays killing floor still one of the greatest pieces of live music i've ever heard in my life if you heard this it would absolutely blow your mind at a concert with the lights off i highly recommend you look at the video of it and so now he comes back and he's got are you experienced under his belt he's starting to become more confident as a songwriter as a singer he's toying around more with electronics

[50:32]they're building pedals for him we're seeing a lot of um kind of effects coming out of this album and so basically he's got a lot of experience under his belt and he's starting to become more confident this album access bold as love comes out seven months after are you experienced uh and it's it's it's an interesting album because there's not as many singles off of it but at the same time it's it's a rich album it's it's almost it's it's almost more and less bizarre than are you experienced but i i don't know it's it's a little more jazzy and a little less kind of acid rock but at the

[51:02]same time there's like talking about aliens and shit he also i should tell you right before and i think this is really telling because you know what i'm saying it's it's it's it's it's it's it's right before this album was due which i don't know why they would make jimmy hendrix be due at any time like let's let him work till he's done they lost all the masters for um side two and so they had to rush in and do an overnight remixing session and jimmy said he left he left the master tapes in a cab somewhere and jimmy said that he thinks that the album was not mixed correctly

[51:31]because they had to rush so much to get it done and he wishes they would have had more time to do it he thinks it would have sounded better so i don't know if there you go got all the way up to number three let's start with exp this is it starts with the notes from stone free a song of his welcome to radio station exp tonight we are featuring this sounds like something from a like from a mad lib album like it's wild like this sounds like early 2000s instrumental hip hop to me like this kind of shit was going on all the time well and then it's really wild so

[52:02]he's being interviewed about flying saucers and then he was a big sci-fi guy like he was a huge sci-fi guy yeah with the uh purple haze apparently was about aliens it was supposed to be like 45 minutes long or whatever sci-fi guy but so they do this guitar little thing and they have it panning back and forth so it's supposed to sound like a ufo spinning around your head which is great i love it i thought this was an absolute atrocity this was so so bad it is so unpleasant to listen to if it

[52:32]would have gone on for 30 seconds i would have thought it's an amazing beginning to an album it's two and a half minutes of just atrocious noise but no you gotta understand like this is an experiment with them panning around so here's what we're gonna do we're gonna do an experiment right now i'm sitting to your right russell's sitting to your right aaron and matt are sitting to your left we're at the movies okay i've panned russell and i hard right i've panned rosie and matt hard left and we're now at the movies we're sitting there guys what do you think of this movie that we're watching with our audience right now

[53:03]the show people having sex hey do you guys want to try any of this popcorn dig dig real deep wait i don't want to talk about popcorn because popcorn is my next real and gone in the next episode oh my god next week you're gonna talk about that i'm gonna talk about popcorn next week so do you guys understand the bit i'm doing where we're doing a play right now this is an improvised scene where we're at the movies and right now you're all just i was improvising the scene about popcorn what the fuck no you were talking about the podcast you suck at improvising

[53:31]the scene you were talking about the popcorn are you gonna pan this shit or not we'll find out in the post yes it's panned i asked you guys to reach into this popcorn dig deep and i'm gonna do an and grab something oh you're doing the diner scene oh yeah does it make you comfortable that i brought microwave popcorn to the theater such bullshit i'm reaching in here but this just feels like a tiny thumb in here why is it so wide it's a real girthy kind of feels like it's wearing a turtleneck sweater it's so strange matt do you have anything to say from way over left

[54:01]no i'm trying to catch up and see if i can read a little bit about this talk intelligent well we're off to a very strong start okay next up up from the skies i mean listen to the jazz on this you hear this a lot in the album too with this gentle wah gentle wah-wah in the back i i heard you mentioned the jazz i heard the drums yep and this is like what we've heard

[54:30]with miles before and it's it's those brush drumming right it's when they use brushes to start drumming to me i started reading a little bit about that and it turns out that it's a little bit different than what you're used to and it's a little bit different than what you're used to and it turns out that one of the first people ever to use a brush with drumming was a guy called warren baby dodds and he did a song uh numerous songs with this guy named jelly roll in 1927 have you guys heard of this guy i thought it was i thought it was a great name but check this out i pulled up one of the songs it's called mournful serenade you'll hear where he was using like a broom for drumming wait he's using a broom is that what he just said that's

[55:08]what they said he was using as a broom he might have been yeah because like the brush became like similar to to the broom yeah but so this was kind of part of the start you can just kind of hear it patented it's just softer right yeah and so this became the start and so then you you had all these jazz artists that were using brush drumming and i tried to do a list on it but there wasn't a ton of things i could find other than songs with no lyrics and we're not doing not real songs on this

[55:34]we're doing real songs but i did see there was actually uh you know i think the opening of is it uh what was it miles one of the miles davis songs on kind of blue started off with that brush drumming too i think a lot of them do right yeah because i think jimmy cobb's on there and then he does he's the drummer on naima by john coltrane and coltrane brought him in specifically he's not the drummer on the rest of giant steps but coltrane brought him in specifically to do the brush drumming on naima it turns out there there is one pop song

[56:03]that does have brush brush drumming though and it's by beck the song is lost cause check this out oh god this song's so fucking sad i love it so good i love this song god it's such a good song this is like you just can kind of hear that yeah yeah it's like you're never sure if it's actually there but it's there yeah so i was looking on this song and there are actually four percussion players listed and one of them is back so i think it's fair to assume that back was playing the brush drumming i think it's on lost cause was henry playing it or was it mitch mitchell i think it

[56:35]was mitch mitchell it was mitch mitchell so when it comes to brush drumming who did it better beck did it better god i love that song that whole album i love that album but i never listened to it because it's so fucking sad oh that's so good russell god damn i was russell was sending me these songs and i was like these things are all over the place i don't know where we're going with this but that was but that's amazing but you mentioned that jazz that's a cool way to start that album it was completely a little bit different wasn't it then yeah some of the other ones on this

[57:00]one this is one of the few songs that he played live off this album because it wasn't kind of a technical fest this is spanish castle magic this spanish castle was a club outside of uh where he was in washington and it was in a town called des moines washington oh recently voted the number one des moines in the whole second best

[57:30]des moines ever it's the number one des moines ever it's the best one des moines only five percent of people there are wearing cowboy boots so that's why this is the song you can hear i don't know now what the chronology is but i yeah i got you i don't know what the chronology is about when he ruined clapton's life but it might have been before or after this but that song like cream was like cream was trying so hard to make that song like cream made a whole album just like trying to make that song and i but now maybe i'm wrong maybe the chronology switched around but that to me like is exactly what cream is trying to do that i you're referring

[58:02]to that famous clapton story where he went and heard jimmy hendrix play guitar yeah and then somebody found him in the back of a cab crying and they said well what's wrong and he said well i'll never be that good at guitar so what's the point yeah of what i'm doing um which i've never felt with this podcast because i feel like we can only go up i think we're working on improvising skills uh you saw that movie theater clip it was definitely really long and good and it had a full circle and we caught the game with it and it was really never heard a better podcast than this one so i'm never gonna like no cry in the background yeah and

[58:34]people you know usually me crying in the back seat was just uh aaron after a dance when he's getting driven he's getting driven home by his date and her boyfriend uh it happened i read that i read that hendrix had that song was part of his set at woodstock and that woodstock got so delayed that he was like the closing act or whatever and he didn't play till nine in the morning did you guys know that i don't know enough about woodstock when you when you hear him when you hear him doing the national anthem that was like the morning after morning it was like yeah i was like sun's

[59:04]up kind of a thing yeah man look how annoyed matt gets when we start 20 minutes late could you imagine if we put jimmy hendrix on him on this boo who's the one guy here on this on this woodstock booing the national anthem all right well guys we could wait till tomorrow but for me that's only 10 minutes from now wait until tomorrow this is another one beautiful fantastic yeah but this

[59:32]is another one where i feel like the mix is not quite there i think it's going to be a little bit i think it could have been awesome this feels a little thin to me i don't know you know he came up as a rhythm guitarist right we've talked about this a thousand times he played for james round here and there and it didn't work out played for curtis knight in the squires and you can hear him just like this is easy for him and he's doing stuff that like it's not easy right and he just sounds amazing part of the reason he was playing he got fired from those jobs with uh

[60:01]little richard and who else was he with was he he was with james brown uh he might have played with sam cook too it was like he was with everybody for a while yeah little richard fired him because he was taking attention away from little richard imagine how what you have to be to take attention away from little richard because he's like it's like listen there's that guy screaming playing a piano but who's that guitar player over the hair with the bow it's also about looks right like little richard was going to be like i am going to be the prettiest person on stage like if anyone is more like there i'm not going

[60:33]to stand for someone being as pretty as james brown i'm not going to stand for someone being as pretty as james brown pretty as me on this stage so like it's not all jimmy's fault there real quick little richard alive or dead dead oh he's got to be dead is he he's gotta be recently yeah by the way that was my nickname in high school and now i'm realizing it wasn't nice i feel like if he wasn't dead he would be in some sort of uh commercial for they were calling you a big peanuts or something like he would be in like that's true b-level commercials yeah what up right yeah he didn't want a long tall

[61:01]sally come walking down the alley she gets geico insurance and she's like i don't know what to do insurance something to something you know guys again we're improvising this is a good bit i like it ain't no telling love the guitar sound on this side one of this album is strong all right little richard died in 2020 yeah he's a terrible year wow

[61:30]i think it makes us nice on this one because the drums are crisp and loud and you can hear jimmy's voice but it's side one it's side one so yeah you're right this this one i do i i like this it just feels full i don't know i were you guys excited to listen to this album again i got into work i put this on i was excited to listen to this every day we listened to it it was great i liked it but you know part of me this album made me feel really old because there are songs that are so loud and

[62:00]the drums are so far forward and he's just slamming the guitar and it's just it's there's certain songs that are just loud and in your face and i was like i might be too old for this shit like this isn't what i want to listen to at times it's too intense yeah no you're right russell and and for me i so i had two i had two problems with this album which i guess we'll get into in our in our rating system but i'm gonna spoil it now uh some of these songs are just too british for me like it's just like two two rolling stones and and two brian jones for me uh like i

[62:31]telling this one to me uh and then you know we were we were also also listening to next week's album at the same time and i i really liked the vibe of next week's album more than this one so uh it was hard because sometimes i just i just wanted to chill and the next time we're gonna listen to is much more chill and this one yeah you're right russell like it has moments where it's just like super wound up oh i might you don't think this album's good isn't it come over here give you a taste of me nooks and the all the other things that i could say in a british accent i don't want to right now i'm so busy call everybody

[63:04]what's up governor do i get to bring back my list of big sid vicious or not big sid vicious yeah i had a lot of people emailing about that about how much they loved it actually and understood it and they weren't confused by it that was a great one yeah that was a great but i think for me that's why i really liked wait until tomorrow it was a little bit calmer it was not as loud and in your face as some of that like i don't know you guys have described it before where i think matt's described it with some artists that maybe weren't the best singers where they're they're

[63:31]putting other instruments and they're bringing that to the front i just the drums were really loud on this it felt like they were in the front this every time you say the drums are too loud it makes me louder than i want yeah because i don't think mitchell's a great drummer really so it's yeah i'd rather hear more guitar russ is like oh time to go back and put on some steely dan and just become an old man this is so fun yeah just enjoy some grooves man because he's like sometimes i just want to yeah like i mean let's hear it you might not like the drums russell but you know what everybody loves the glockenspiel

[64:04]i believe this is the first song that made two lists prior to its album right showing up on the top five this is on the glockenspiel list right glockenspiel into the drum fill yes it's a pretty amazing song i mean it's a good song i i'll tell you what this song is unbelievable and the uh the stevie ray von version of course is probably one of the most famous covers of this what i the only

[64:31]thing i don't like about this song is at the end listen to how it just ends listen to how it just ends listen to this song little wing by the way he's just about to start ripping and it just fades out and i'm like what is going on you gotta let the rest of this song that's a two and a half minute song that should be a fucking that should be excuse me that should be a 15 minute song that should be way longer and i want the drums louder russell because i'm young and cool he's doing that same thing that steve cropper was doing like or tried to do or

[65:00]just like toss off some licks just like every every every third note is just like this fucking blistering lick that sounds like super easy go ahead russell yeah yeah they have a couple strange endings on this i think bold is love one of the very ones at the end there's like a fake ending with at like three minutes into the song you think it's over and then it comes back in so there's a lot of strange endings on this this album if six was nine white collar conservative flashing down something black that was right here this is like oh this is yeah this is a headphone song for sure

[65:32]it's cool as hell this was another one for me that there's like a screeching unpleasantness to it at the end that i it was one of the songs i skipped every time once i got to the end i couldn't make it to the whole song it i yeah it kind of breaks down at the end but the beginning like loud right like that's what you hear about his live shows where he was like he was louder than anybody i mean like there

[66:00]probably wouldn't be metal without this album that's literally the theme of my life being louder than everybody you got me floating this song is about a root beer float man when was the last time you guys have a root beer float i had like two days ago remember i had a black cow wasn't that a root beer float with bourbon in it remember a while back delicious and what do you think you go softer than like anw style or like briar's ice cream soup it's got it's got to be a

[66:32]no i'm telling you soft serve root beer floats are objectively better and the reason is is that when you scoop it you get those ice crystals at the end that are on the top and you don't get that with a soft serve you get the nice foam i love a soft serve root beer float oh god dang russell you make me want to have a root beer float right now right shit how come there how come there aren't more kinds of floats why is it only a root beer float oh bro coke there's coke floats have you never had mountain dew limewire it's a it's a soda that was specifically designed to make a root beer float

[67:02]for ice cream it's an orange soda you put some ice cream in that with a float bro it's awful no wonder they've no wonder they've cut you off with the walgreens from ice cream the the other the other the reason i can tell russell that you're not a big fat guy is the fact that you've said why aren't there other kind of floats bro there are all kinds of floats if you try hard enough it's not it's it's easy to do you can put ice cream literally in any drink okay just get it done man are you a root beer float guy uh yeah if they're there

[67:32]i'll pick one up but i can go out on my way to make one if i walk into a gas station and they get root beer floats in around maybe i'll grab one yeah the fact that you've never fantasized about root beer floats also is why you're not a big fat guy okay i'm gonna cross the street to get one you know oh my god that's how something else is right here i've crossed the street for root beer float uh this is kind of the original isn't it ironic don't you think castle's made of

[68:00]sand oh i love this song it's sad i think this is the one sort of heavily biographical or autobiographical song of his right like he's really talking about some fights he had with his lady yeah i mean he literally had some issues out in the woods with his friends like it's it's real stuff jimmy hendrix is a it's a sad story when you read what he was doing every sunday during the summer up at cole's resort they have a

[68:30]castle's made of sand contest they call it a castle's made of sand contest it's like a sand contest rob and every week every week russell's like they're like russell again a giant sand penis is not what we're asking for and we do have a family resort here sorry this is not gonna this is not gonna work i love castle's made of sand it's always been one of my favorite jimmy songs that brings up a good point does um jimmy hendrix is known as for his guitar i think he's a good singer but i've heard

[69:00]that he's not like wildly considered to be a good singer is that do we talk about that rosie well i think he wasn't that wasn't his main talent but right it's all about if it speaks to you right like i think he's an emotion i think he gets his point across i think it sounds good no he like i also think he writes his lyrics he does to fit his grooves if you will and that's what i thought it's exactly what i thought i think to russell's point like why are we

[69:30]all getting a castle made of sand right but i think you're writing lyrics to fit the music kind of a deal instead of just saying a sand castle you're saying a castle made of sand because it fits because it works i think if if jimmy didn't die when he was 27 i think it would have been so interesting to see where he would have gone later in life when he would have gotten bored with rock and roll he would have gotten to call his own shots i think you would hear him come out with an instrumental money he would have got more you know he would have had time to just sit and do nothing and you know in a in a studio he was going to play i mean we talked about this

[70:01]before he was going to play with miles uh yes quincy jones was trying to get him together with miles and paul mccartney and others i mean he would have played a lot more jazz he would have done psychedelic freak out rock and uh yeah yeah and then he probably would have become like a super weird conservative right toward the end you know like all these all of our favorite guitar gods do but it's like it would have been great to hear him just come out with a guitar and do a with like a true just instrumental jazz album and hear what he does i mean he probably would

[70:32]have invented all brand new kinds of music like it's it's really a bummer that there's just not more jimmy hendrix out there i don't know but at the same time like you get an album like this and it's just him doing pretty much whatever he wants and it's fun to listen to and that's why this song is so weird to put on this album she is so fine okay and again you think i'm gonna make another ballpoint pen joke i'm not okay she's so fine this is a noel redding song that is just on the album so fine my 409 she's real

[71:04]oh i thought we were doing a barbershop quartet i thought we were doing a round are we doing another beach boys album or not when's that happening yep 400s 400s there is one in the 400 just listen to one of the 400s uh she's so fine a terrible terrible song you ask the question whether jimmy's a great singer or not and it's like i'm not sure but

[71:36]then you hear noel redding and you're like no no i just went into jimmy so i can well i think part of the going back to that part of the issue is that jimmy didn't like his singing right he would be super embarrassed on are you experienced he would cover up the window to the control room so they couldn't see him sing i think he was getting more confident at this point we we've we've talked about before how when i was in nashville i didn't like when the front man would let the bass play and i didn't like when the bass played and i didn't like when the bass played and do their song and they would go off stage right so so you know i was thinking about this and just

[72:03]because the front man wasn't singing on this one doesn't mean there aren't other songs that aren't great where the front man or the lead singer is not the lead vocalist so i thought we could do a list of the greatest songs ever where the lead singer or the the person singing is not the front man or not the lead singer i love the concept of me being like let's cruise through this song we don't need to listen to it russ is like no this is my list wait a minute it is better it is better it is better first song on the list is from 1973 this is grand funk railroad we're an american band check this

[72:38]one out oh my god wait so who's the lead singer from grand funk railroad so the the regular lead singler was mark farmer but this was actually their drummer singing on this song and my favorite part about this this made me laugh so bad i could see this happening to robin and just killing him they found out that this made it to as a number one single on mark farmer's birthday so the lead

[73:04]singer's birthday they find out that the song where the drummer's singing the song becomes a number one hit i thought the idea of this podcast becoming the number one podcast in the world getting picked up by spotify and russell's the main host makes me want to barf that would make me sick i would be so mad oh my god i'm just sitting there in the background can't do anything while my drummer is singing oh yeah i'm just sitting there in the background can't do anything yuck get me out of here next song on the list is from 1975 we've talked about this band they've

[73:33]sold a ton of albums but i don't think i don't even know where they're on the list maybe matt knows it this is the eagles take it to the limit who's the singer on this one is this don henley i believe it's randy meisner yeah it's not don henley right so i think this is the bass player randy meisner so what why are the eagles not higher on the list they sell a ton of albums do people like the eagles no one likes the eagles man why not they're

[74:02]a joke yeah they're a total punch line it's why are they a punch line 118 hotel california 207 eagles by the eagles i think i think it'll be fun to listen that's coming up we're gonna hear that within the next three years or so i i think the eagles russell literally it's hotel california you heard it so much and then when they came back with that remember when they came back with that acoustic album when we were like i don't know what 16 and you heard it one million times oh my god made me barf but i will say that song um by the eagles where it's like there are stars

[74:34]in the southern sky it's kind of like a um a barbershop quartet you guys want to try it oh my god we're so good and that song is one of the greatest songs of all time it's in the top i don't know why oh my god i'm sorry that i'm not listening to wheezes jesus sing about teenage dreams or

[75:13]whatever you're talking about like that the eagles man well if you had read my email we would have been able to listen to it together on the podcast but i sent you the link i'm so busy i'm so busy i was gonna yell at you for not sending me the email but now i realize i never checked so that's on me this is a few years later this is from 1983 this is

[75:32]toto africa you guys will know this one right these guys covered that weezer song right this wasn't sung by toad by mr toto so it turns out they had two primary main singers bobby kimball and steve luke after and each of them took their tries at it and they weren't getting the vocal right and they actually said um he had what they called elton john mouthful of words lots of words it reminded me of rob last week trying to get in too many words in a short amount of time so it

[76:02]turns out that abusive dave pash who i think was the keyboard player ended up doing the the main vocals on that song sometimes you gotta step back so i'm just saying rob maybe there's if you've got a mouthful maybe it's time for matt to jump in sometimes i i think maybe i'd be more organized and get things done if i have a to-do list but i mistyped it and now i have my total list and it's i don't get much done well that's when i do my magic tricks yeah that's my to-do list

[76:31]and then when i really misspelled it it's just a toad list and i'm like well this doesn't even really make sense and then you're like well for wordle i need one more letter so this is a toads yes today today list i got wordle brain that's yeah well today on this list the next song is from 1985 this is heart these dreams check this one out wow is this song is there is there a more 80s song than this song it's great isn't it yeah yeah

[77:06]yes this is just like since on since on since yes russell do you russell do you think this sounds does this kind of sound like wilson um picket to you wilson phillips wilson picket one of them i think right yeah wilson phillips right yeah i think they played out at muscle shoals or something for a little bit yeah totally but actually so my understanding is ann wilson was usually the lead singer for heart right but

[77:31]nancy wilson was actually the lead singer for that song and i think it was the first time they had a number one hit so the sister who didn't wasn't the lead singer most of the time was the one who sang their first hit i i had a i was i was youtubing and i was looking for that song to give to rob and then a bunch of heart songs just keep playing they wail like their songs are bangers they they crush right oh yeah we're a rocking band they slap it's yes heart is a killer band all right last song on the list this is 1996 we have listeners that will like this one

[78:02]this is oasis don't look back in anger oh i think of the joe from woodbury this isn't noel well my understanding is that liam's the lead singer is that right isn't noel the writer i was it was 50 50 the guitar yeah so my understanding is noel wrote two songs and he had wonderwall and don't look back in anger and he said i'll believe you pick one of the two for his brother his brother pick wonderwall which they play at the soccer games and he kept don't

[78:34]look back in anger but i don't think he's the normal lead singer am i right matt you are correct but then they both split off and have their own boy bands now where they are the you know they're essentially the lead singer of their own bands but yes boy bro liam and i wrote two songs you pick one of the songs i'll sing the other or you'll get a taste of me nooks you're going to get a taste of me nooks so so even the eagles one i would say even the eagle song was better than that noel redding song

[79:00]wasn't it oh yeah the no redding song was terrible yeah that was that always is fine keith richards always had one or two right for for a while there yeah yeah i've always heard you you don't like the keith richards once so i left those off the list right that's when you go get a beer i specifically left them off nice all right so after doing the longest bit on the worst song on the album one rainy wish this is an interesting song that the the verse is in three four and the chorus is in four four

[79:30]so you get kind of a deep time signature change yeah this is four four i love this song yeah i thought it was badass too yeah yeah now the little miss lover i love the bass here and this wah-wah

[80:00]is that no already that drum the drum is too much for me there it's just too loud wait let me jimmy would step in and play bass right let me set this to russ level there's much better i can go sit my rocking chair a little bit better i can hear you thanks man i can hear you i was trying to listen to aaron and then rob turned it down so aaron what did you i was just

[80:32]trying to figure out who's playing bass on that song that's all i think i think jimmy probably did right i think jimmy actually recorded a lot of the bass parts he did i think yeah for sure they needed a good bass line he laid it down this song gets my beat of the week this is a song i didn't know this is the song i didn't know well what's a better name how about my sneaky beat of the week that's okay this is is it your bing of the week this wouldn't be my sneaky beat of the week that was that's on only night right this is the sneaky beat of the week because this is i got

[81:04]to make it guys remind me i got to make a theme song for sneaky beat of the week okay oh wait i have an idea for how it's gonna go already ready so it's gonna be like guys big news this is my sneaky beat of the week okay i'm indeed i'm dying i'm indeed i'm dying i'm indeed i'm dying aaron is doing his own soundboard aaron is doing his own he's trying to do his own sound i'm fucking i'm the fucking michael michael winslow of this shit i'm the human soundboard bold uh bold as love

[81:34]i never i don't know if i've never listened to this song i thought it was an absolute jam i never knew how much i love this song it's so good listen to the flanger on this i mean it's a what it's almost like bob dylan like it's the flanger you're the big flanger could you jump forward to like a minute 30 rob you're asking a lot there actually just somewhere in the middle

[82:01]we talked about this before i i get leonard skinner to this yeah it sounds like totally right so i don't know i'm assuming they're taken from this but they came much later so they must have heard it but i hear you russell listen to this all of these like this entire album to me sounds like yellow light better like i just feel like who is it jeff ahmed who is the guitarist like must have just played along with his album his

[82:30]whole life well mike mccready easily is that the one i wasn't sure i mean i tried to look up some of the chords for these songs on guitar because i was like i want to play spanish castle magic i want to now it turns out the chords for these songs are really quite difficult okay they are not at the beginner level it is not a is not gcd so i am screwed i cannot play it uh weird that a guitar but i mean these songs i just listen there are some there is a little bit of like weird

[83:00]psychedelic guitar feedback stuff but when he's playing that jazzy that just that jam it is so good and you know what else is good it's everybody's favorite part of the show let's get into the oh i love this part and now it's time for everybody's man i hope we're right this week very popular beck did it better rating system um uh listen guys this album is at 92 it's a number we all knew at the beginning of the show not a big

[83:30]deal to me uh is this a rolling well tone that means it deserves to be at number 92 this is the third jimmy hendrix album we've heard okay is it really the third best jimmy hendrix album if you think so and you think it belongs here that is a rolling well tone according to the patented and popular beck did it better rating system uh or should this have been higher up on the list now higher up on the list i know what you're thinking wow higher number of people have heard this album no it's a lower number this list is going down as if it's a poster where you are reading your

[84:00]favorite albums as you go down to the floor number 500 of course being uh arcade fire now it's a long wall i mean a poster that could fit 500 albums that'd be long but would it be a good poster to have if you're running this podcast yes because we're often talking about different bands and we want to know if they're on the list so that would be a rolling boned it should have been higher up on the list which is a lower number what you're right it's a rolling well tone it should have been higher up on the list which is a lower number what you're right it should have been higher up on the list which is a lower number who's running this podcast i didn't know there's anyone running it i don't think anybody on this podcast has run recently beyonce beyonce is running the world

[84:32]uh or is this a rolling uh groan we do not like this album it should be higher than 91 and again higher you're thinking about my poster idea it should be a lower number no in this case higher is actually higher on the list it's a higher number so we're going lower on the poster guys it makes sense to me when you think about a vertical poster in your room which is the thing a lot of people had posters of lists a lot of people had posters of lists a lot of people had a lot of cool kids had that also a giant poster of winston churchill in their room now some kids were actually like 12 and they just had a poster of winston churchill until they left when they

[85:03]left high school then came back when they were older and wondered why they had a winston churchill poster in their room doesn't make any sense for a kid growing up in minnesota to have a winston churchill poster but some of us uh or somebody wearing cowboy boots yeah i think i think almost 10 percent of people wore cowboy boots back then uh that would be a rolling groan uh russell what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan even i got bored with a bit there i i loved wait until tomorrow little wing sandcastles

[85:34]and bold as love i thought was a fantastic closer um i do think i like i like the two other hendrix albums better so i i think rolling stone did get it right a bit of the guitar was too unpleasant for me the drums some of it was just loud it made me start thinking i was a bit old but um i i i was gonna say hey you know maybe maybe rolling bone maybe it should be slightly higher but i think that opening was was not good enough so i'm just gonna say it's rolling well-toned i like it but i think it's appropriately

[86:02]russell i don't think anybody who's gone to chanahas and dinner theater and then complained that it was too long is getting too old so i don't worry about that you're doing young cool stuff okay no problem whatsoever uh aaron what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan yeah i this is a hard one for me uh some of these songs as i said just sound too british uh too rolling stone but uh i do think it has like just some really incredible rhythm

[86:30]guitar work from jimmy probably not his best solos but some some great guitar work some actually really great songs and um well i think it's probably too much to have three of his records in the top 100 i would never want to say rolling bone about jimmy so i'm going to call it rolling i gotta say this album would be a perfect vibe album for a dorm room if you got rid of that screechy feedback stuff that would can't have that going for the it's a vibe ruiner for sure matt what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling groan uh every time i listen to jimmy i think uh i say

[87:05]this a lot lately you know i think he's the birth of kind of the grunge movement of you know i'm good at guitar and we'll figure out everything else after it and i know how to write a few cool songs and i've got some deep dark feelings and i'm going to get them out my cool jams here and so i i like listening to this album i think it's rolling well-toned i mean i don't i don't know if you can we're going to listen to so many better albums i think above this but from a influential standpoint

[87:35]from 19 was a 67 you know to have this album be in 1967 uh you know i think it's extremely influential and so i think it's rolling well-toned right here that's a great great point uh i mean i got it right did i get i agree with matt i think uh dustin springfield was a better album than this i think it's a better album than this i think it's a better album than this i think it's a better album than this so i'm glad that that was a higher up on the list listen yeah he's he's he's a good artist one of my favorite wrestlers literally literally that i think

[88:02]that episode had three downloads i think it might have just been us listening to it i put him right after simon garfunkel that guy listen guys is he related to buffalo springfield i can't remember what the relation was hendrix playing some stuff backwards on this one that was just like simon garfunkel did that one song right and ash on it guys this is this is only the first episode tonight we cannot go off the go off the rails at this point uh listen guys unfortunately for the 92nd week in a row you are incorrect okay by the way by the way in 12 weeks that'll be our two-year

[88:34]anniversary just to let you guys know this is a rolling another album i've said it before and i'll say it again you don't need any of the albums we've covered on hendrix so far just go get live at the bbc it's the best jimmy hendrix album it's him playing live at the bbc it is an unbelievable album don't search it out on the internet it's an unbelievable album don't search it out on the bing you will get a very different result as i found out uh the other day listen next up okay we have somebody who luckily she got off without getting majorly punished

[89:04]otherwise missy mr meaner elliot would be missy mr felony elliot listen i didn't write anything down guys i ad-libbed and this is what happened talk about it i mean that was so bad that was so bad it was kind of like a minus lib not an ad-lib kept kevin kevin that's your best joke in the like oh aaron thank you so much i really appreciate it what were you gonna say russell i'm sorry aaron stepped over you there i was just gonna tell kevin to note the time of the podcast he can give you

[89:32]feedback on that why would you do that at the end make me mad at the end i think about it every time i read the intro now did you hear me go so fast and slow down it's pathetic i got this one i got i've got the perfect part for you jack beck did it better guys i have to admit now that i know that hotels don't clean

[90:00]comforters i feel bad for my sneaky beat of the week in that cover for i love the idea of russell being alone in a hotel room and still being like don't be too loud okay well that's what i'll be thinking about all night Oh, that's so good.
