[04:32]still a good still a good parody song great job rob better sometimes you have to do songs you know uh the lyrics of because you don't have a lot of time to actually do this song so you have to like no but i'll tell you what i couldn't i could not ignore when she says what i had to work that into the song it didn't really totally eat it like a vulture my favorite vikings play ever so they would hand it off to herschel walker and he would run off tackle to the right and then they would reverse it to anthony carter around the

[05:03]end reverse it rob reverse it is that herschel walker that joke is that joke is funny to a select group of 40 to 55 year olds people who like to listen to jimmy hendrix very quietly don't say anything too loud listen i've got three guys here who love to be loud and naughty uh i've got russell in minnesota russell how are you doing guys my style of potting i'm such a good podcaster while our critic kevin calls out rob's opener is shitty i give you the beckstein good and plenty

[05:33]my style's the bomb diggy oh the bomb diggy wow i've got matt in minneapolis matt how are you doing tonight just great rob really thanks for having me i was taking a drink of my energy drink at a very short bit and i've got aaron who we were talking earlier and he said his favorite x-men is cyclops and his favorite ninja turtle was leonardo interesting aaron guys those are the most boring ones nobody likes those two they suck listen to a select group of nerds that's a very

[06:01]funny joke wait leonardo is not leonardo is more popular than rafael that was the worst the red guy was the worst in well no no i'll just say this rafael had the size those were cool at least i beep beep who got the keys to the jeep room listen let's get right into it we've got a voicemail that's approximately 10 years long so let's listen to it right now all my homies out there get his long long voicemails

[06:32]rob how do you get a hold of the back line 802-277 long voicemails back 802-277 beck call in and leave a voicemail or 10 minutes of one all right you double fucks um i am driving to work i'm listening to the erica badu episode before i skip over all the part where you talk about your inane lives except for aaron he's got some stuff

[07:00]going on i'm gonna pump him up he was the best man in my wedding um that's right i was i feel like that's something you should have said that you are you were in this guy's wedding i was the best man i gave him i feel like i gave him pretty some toast at this wedding but that's that's that's that's neither here nor there let's hear his voicemail all right it's better than any of you guys are trolling so i i was prepared for that at any rate um it got me thinking i will listen to the first half of this episode if aaron promises

[07:34]to tell you guys the story of how he came up with he thought was going to be a hit song someday about having a sandwich in his pocket and i think he could probably recreate it for you like in a week's time and sing it on this podcast if he does that i will not bug you about skipping 100 episodes to get to the replacement anymore

[08:03]we can totally skip that we can totally skip we are not happy done with this voicemail yet we're still going i don't care if aaron sings the song about the sandwich in his pocket or not we're skipping that rembrandt's album in a few years anyway aaron do you remember how long this guy's speech was at his wedding it is i mean was it over a minute two minutes and 45 seconds he didn't yeah no he didn't get much of it he didn't really have to give a speech at his own wedding because because he had he i

[08:32]mean i gave a speech i don't think it was overly long but he had i hope i i don't think he'll mind me telling that he had one of those situations where he had like a long lost friend show up at his wedding like a like a guy who had shut up seen shut up for a second shut up for a second what are you talking about what are you asking me what are what are you talking about one of those situations like a situation you only see in the movies like we're like this guy showed up anywhere a long lost friend show up at a wedding what are you talking about it's like only from a sitcom where like this guy showed up and like he hadn't

[09:02]seen this caller since junior high and proceeded to give a speech where he just listed every memory that he had of this of of the of the groom from like some rob i do age four up through junior high 30 minutes long it was amazing catch this guy did they catch this guy and put him back in prison like this it sounds like he broke out and made it he invited him it was like i was like i'm gonna invite my long lost friend but the guy showed up stop stop the guy showed up and then he was like you can't call him a long lost friend if he was a long lost friend implies like i mean i've never

[09:34]talked to you know i don't know showed up but he invited him and then the guy was like yo can i get the mic for a second and then it was like oh his name was oh he bogarted your time yeah he he gave to be fair this is also would have been so happy that russell would have love that disaster wedding speech yeah this was one of them i would have sat there and watched how everyone started getting antsy because they couldn't get another drink and i would just have enjoyed every bit of it but like

[10:00]rob you're not you can't be critical because i believe you gave a speech at your own wedding which you're not supposed to do and i believe you get your sister's wedding which you weren't supposed to do either i think you give speech at weddings when you're not asked to do so okay what is this where you guys are ganging up on the main host a guy who does so much for you and lifts us all up oh you guys want to drag me down guess what a rising rob raises all boats but i'm gonna go i'm gonna just jump in because this caller likes to

[10:33]try to put me on blast that's what that's a thing he likes to do and i'm okay with that and yeah i did when i was falling in love with my current wife in the mid 2000 the mid aughts we me and this call on the late night episode there's no i'm just warning you we used to go to caffrey sandwich shop in uptown and i loved caffreys and i always thought about like this is great they finally got a sign up they finally got a sign up this so you actually know what this what it is delicious sandwiches and it was like if you like if you i used to wear like much bigger jeans at the time

[11:02]and like i could actually fit an entire caffrey sandwich in my pocket and like i felt like if you were walking around with like a sandwich in your pocket that was like the greatest thing you could have like nothing could go wrong and that was just like that was just like knowing you were in love with a great woman was like as long as i got that i'm fine and like to me i was gonna i felt like you could write a song about that but i never quit the song they were quite aaron's walk aaron's walking around his house and his wife is like why are your jeans so tight except your

[11:31]pocket is so bulgy and he was like when i sat in the tub when i sat in the tub to get these jeans fitted it turns out i had a sandwich in my pocket wait that reminds me of a shitty song is that a is that a sandwich in your pocket are you happy to see me so the concept so aaron you thought you were in love with a great woman was like as long as i got that i'm fine and like to me you had a sandwich in your pocket was going to make a great song you must have been so incredibly horny at the time to think that's a good idea but think about it like you go somewhere you go to a concert four years of school for music composition oh that's right oh my god you know who has ever put a sandwich in their pocket let's imagine let's imagine a scenario

[12:07]where like things aren't going great in your life like maybe maybe you go to a concert and your tickets aren't quite what you thought they were or maybe you're gonna go apple picking this is gonna be the last episode we're done maybe you're gonna go maybe you're gonna go apple picking but it turns out apple picking is at least twice as far as you thought it was gonna be five times as expensive you know all these things that are not going well but if you could just like

[12:30]pull a sandwich out of your pocket and like take a nipple of a delicious sandwich you'd feel much better now matt did allude to this earlier but you gotta look out if you're gonna put a sandwich in the pocket that you don't want to bring it home in college and have your mom run it through the wash because not only is that embarrassing at the time the story that your family tells for oh i don't know approximately the rest of your life and to your own children okay uh is a disaster and it makes a lot of people actually lose respect for you well that's the country song version of the song you like the country song version is you took your pants home and your mom washed your sandwich i think the country

[13:02]version would be matt takes the sandwich out of his pocket and it turns out there was an extra flake of lettuce that was left over matt just throws away his clothes washing machine now i've been carrying around the sandwich the last two hours but it's got lettuce in it so i'm gonna be why was i carrying around this sandwich in my pocket the last two hours man i'm a no lettuce on sandwich guy i will take lettuce out i will take it out and throw it to the side i and i you know what i don't have any shame about it because i don't think lettuce is a real

[13:33]vegetable it's not like a vegetable that you have to eat to be healthy it's kind of a waste of space am i you know what i pick off and get rid of tomatoes yeah i'm a tomato picker offer and always throw away the tomato they're terrible yeah in season yeah never tomatoes so aaron what kind of sandwich you were were you envisioning when you were coming up with this song like were you gonna is it like pastrami on rye was it gonna be what what were you really thinking about i feel like at the end i mean matt matt might have

[14:00]been at caffrey's more recently than i but i feel like they had a good italian cold cut kind of situation well i i always had hot sandwiches there right so i'm thinking of like a an italian sandwich yeah it's like hot it's got some like mustard it's like probably a little greasy and hot and i'm like dripping on his pants that sounds good man and then you pull it oh it sounds great you're sticking a hot a greasy sandwich down your pants it's pretty erotic i agree with you guys this is pretty good that would be a double that would be a double duvet situation for sure

[14:30]caffrey's is right next to the smitten kitten so maybe if you're just walking around then you can get the everything that you need yeah yeah they just repackage them and sell them separately something else man i could i could do a whole podcast just asking matt what is still in that street like is the alt bike shop still across the street like is the what happened to the country yeah bike shop still there uh it's greek to me kitty corner yeah yeah changed the greek people sold it to like the people who were working

[15:00]there so it's still greek to me but other this big fight about who's owning the building and all this stuff like that there was a sandwich shop on the other corner so the northwest corner yeah that building has been vacant for a while up from there was um okay now i'm interested again actually i flipped around 180 around the world yeah yeah it's packer bar uh what was it called they had bags oh you would know if it but right right before you got to the uptown uh vfw where they even got karaoke which is the best

[15:34]place i've been there that's the spot for crew yeah well the herkimer was there herkimer is no longer there it's gone that's what i was talking yeah that's a herkimer and then before herkimer was another one it used to be like a theater that was like the uh lynn lake brewery that closed too too bad across the street and down a little bit it's good um there was the cowboy bar the cowboy bar the cowboy bar had the shorty and wags wings recipe for a while yep somebody got

[16:02]shot outside there about a year ago yeah hey but around the back i'm not like aaron i think everybody should be getting those booster shots okay don't listen to aaron folks around the back is volstead's which is that that's where you go that one yep and they got the red light back there and then our guys god i forget like every time he posts on the instagram that's where they've got the they play jazz there and stuff so so yeah you know so that's it's all the same building it's

[16:31]right there you just got to go around back back alley there so go around behind caffrey's yeah okay that's where it is yep and if you see if you see a bunch of people now with sandwiches in their pocket you know that aaron has started a trend but i do want to thank you guys because you've really putting things in perspective and i'm going to go back to you guys and i'm going to in perspective i realize now this voicemail isn't even that boring if you're listening to you guys talk about what's on some street somewhere in minneapolis it's actually the voicemail is actually the highlight of the show yeah let's hear the rest about that uh in fact i would uh

[17:00]i'm not an nft guy i don't know if you could create that song under an nft maybe we should cut him off at any rate i think it had to do with when we used to go to caffrey's caffrey's on uh i told you the lake it's still there i think i don't know where he could fit uh full caffrey's maybe it was a half extension to his can i can i just say this

[17:30]it's humiliating that this guy is able to spot on do the conversation we just had having left a voicemail listening to enough shows where he knows exactly what we're going to talk about after he leaves the show that's sick that's sick for him and it's extra sick for us that were so predictable he literally just said the voicemail in a in a he did your conversation in a shorter way somehow it's true so this would have been like when you were in your early 20s where these cargo pants where it was is the sandwich in the back pocket or the front pocket where is it going i must have

[18:04]been in no i think it would have been the side pocket it must have been cargo pants in the side pocket russell no but russell what sandwich are you fitting back in a back pocket i mean that's a panini at best that you're fitting back there right it's just gonna fit in there just enough to like where it doesn't fall out right oh my god you're only sticking half the sandwich and i didn't think of that i'm thinking of this sandwich deep down in the pants and there's a grease stain just slowly spreading but it's a grease stain is in a weird place on his legs so everybody's like what

[18:30]like either that guy has a huge dick or i have or he's got an open sore somewhere that reminds me have you guys ever seen have you guys ever seen the picture of least liam neeson when he pissed his pants type in piss pants and there's a number of pictures where he has pissed his pants he's so drunk he's pissed his pants but the piss starts so low that it's like a flex it starts like way like mine would start almost at belt level his was like down like halfway down his thigh it's incredible it's like

[19:02]he's storing an evian bottle in his pants and he's poked a little hole in it and has let it out so look up uh liam neeson piss pants i'm gonna let everybody pause the podcast right now wait are we gonna hear the rest of the voice there's multiple yeah let's listen to the rest of the voice right cargo shorts at the time and i swear to oh my god he's talking about cargo i swear to god if he talks about liam neeson's penis i am going to quit the podcast okay i swear to god this voice smells an absolute disaster and it's making me question everything

[19:32]could have been jeans could have been jeans he's doing the same thing tell you about this song sing it um or perhaps you didn't sing the song yet your intro song to whatever band that's not the replacements you could have a sandwich in your pocket um i would appreciate it and uh everybody has recovered from coming in my house we're moving

[20:06]in a few weeks so that's pretty stressful um not it's really working it out goodbye i did a great shout out to andy who's listening and he's going to make fun of me for this uh uh long randy rosie maybe this guy knows listen to the music part and then eventually get to the replacements i guess then we'll listen to the first half when you do the uh sandwich in the pocket song

[20:32]good day good day i'm looking it up and luckily this the stooges hit song sandwich in the pocket this is gonna be easy i got this don't problem oh i wasn't thinking about anything because i'm thinking about how much time i've wasted doing this podcast where somebody can predict exactly what the conversation is going to be i mean this is really this is like minority report this is a precog he's a precog definitely yeah aaron your wife listens to the pot has she ever heard the story about how you

[21:01]wanted to make a song about a sandwich or is this gonna be something new yeah she's gonna oh she's gonna laugh super she knows this story she's gonna laugh super hard yeah she knows this one inside and out she'll she'll enjoy it this will not be new to her no i just got a text from her and she said the song is called finger food is that what you call a small sandwich but didn't rob you've talked before about like wouldn't you like your mom would find

[21:30]like sandwiches uneaten food in your pockets and stuff when you were in high school yeah she didn't know in college actually she did the wash and there was just a sandwich in the washing machine that got ejected from the washing machine and she was like oh my god i don't want to do that and i was and i was bummed because i was looking forward to eating that sandwich aaron's got a right idea like i so you did what aaron was talking about you just didn't make a yeah guys when you're big enough your pockets can fit almost anything it's it's unbelievable listen rolling going let's talk about what we're into this is the segment where we talk about stuff

[22:02]uh and if you want to listen to the music fast forward i don't know who cares uh aaron rolling going how's it going with you oh it's going great what i'm into this week uh so april was great for new hip-hop releases so we got new i think i might have talked about this already but we got new push a t and then the net very next week uh and that push album is great production by pharrell uh decent production from kanye and push just doing what push does so so there was um push on april 15th and then um a week later uh maybe push came out on the 22nd and then a week later

[22:36]on the same day uh future and action bronson both dropped new tapes which was awesome and that new action bronson i've been listening to it so much uh i think it's called the cocodrio or something uh i'm really loving it the production's fantastic um and then um concurrently because i follow action bronson on instagram i was served an instagram ad for action bronson's uh

[23:03]collaboration with mountain dew where he was essentially making a flaming hot mountain dew did you guys know there's a flaming hot mountain dew flavor when you want gotta go i'll see you guys later i gotta go to the store i'll be right back i got a great idea for a uh float i can't do that i can't do that i'm sorry aaron what comes around goes around remember last week when you ruined my little red corvette bit this is what happened rob rob sniped you i'll tell you what i i am so

[23:34]excited there is a flaming hot mountain dew it exists like there's flavors about dew when a code changed my life i talked about uh mountain dew live wire last episode how it's the perfect float tell me about flaming hot mountain dew i think it's good i think it's a mountain dew and flaming hot cheetos collaboration so it's like literally spicy mountain yes i've not tried it myself and then action bronson took it a step further and he was like you can literally

[24:01]you can freeze the mountain dew into a block of ice yes and then slowly chip it into a shave ice into a glass and then crumble up some flaming hot yes cheetos on top of it and then that's your treat it's like is it true i'm looking at the website for mountain dew and it says that if you drink the flaming hot mountain dew it restores your virginity is that true is that sure is that a true thing that is such a virgin drink that that gives it that's really interesting that's really interesting i might have to look into that

[24:30]fascinating concept god damn i would love that what is what's your favorite what's your favorite flavor you just do you drink any mountain dew aaron at all i haven't for a long time but i would just be a i mean just like how can you improve on the original you know what the flavor of mountain dew is aaron um i don't know but i hope you're gonna tell me yeah well you know what and when i tell you you're gonna be bummed because you're gonna realize it's true it's orange it's orange juice oh you're totally right look at aaron's face like you saw the face of god because when

[25:02]you now it's like how i know this it's like the old high c from the mcdonald's fountain but exactly and and and for some reason it's yellow because it looks cool here's how i know that and don't ask me i'm not i will not be taking any questions on this story whatsoever if you brush your teeth after drinking mountain dew it tastes terrible just like orange juice okay or no brush your teeth drink it after brushing your teeth yes don't i will not be taking questions about when i brush my teeth and then immediately drink

[25:31]mountain dew well you want to know my favorite pop memory or soda memory depending on what part of the country you live in you guys remember in the early 90s when they put cash prizes inside of cans like you would pop a can open and then like a 20 bill that was rolled up in some sort of plastic like would pop up no what are you talking about no you guys don't believe me this is a sandwich in the pants situation which is a dream that has never happened looking at the article about it right now remember when coca-cola put cash inside their cans for magic can summer promotion google

[26:04]it right now what year is that russell it was um 1990. they put cash in cans google it you want me to put it in the chat for you guys no i can't open up my computer it'll be too slow yeah magic can magic can they would so you would open like up a can of coke and a like a plastic wrapped 20 bill would come popping up through the hole of the can so what's the most you ever won in this russell i don't remember ever winning but i remember it being a huge

[26:33]thing that people were into the only thing that people loved more were those sour balls that were called um tear jerkers remember when those and then there was a candy shop that opened in rochester and they had the mega jawbreakers where they were like the size of a baby's head and you could lick it until you got to the middle where it was a sour ball but of course when you're holding this thing that's all sugar and you're licking it it gets wet and it gets all over and this is the kind of stuff where i realized like

[27:01]oh i know why my parents were grumpy all the time it was me licking giant candy things and walking around the house putting my sandwich in a pocket like they're no wonder they're grouchy all the time it was me it was never i was like boy they're miserable and i was like yeah now i know it's you but when you start looking the reason that went away is there was all sorts of problems with the cans they would malfunction there was problems with like the yeah because there's a different product inside and yeah yeah it was a filled the cans were filled with a mixture of oh my god okay listen to this so first of all this is either a description of what's in the can

[27:35]or from one of my early girlfriends talking about me uh it was filled with a mixture of chlorinated water and a foul smelling substance to discourage drinking because it was a fake can that just had stuff in it although initially money yeah and but it wasn't really filled with coke so that would be kind of a bummer if you had a can of coke the winning cans did not have coke they had money instead yes and then it would pop out of the top and then a foul smelling

[28:01]substance oh yeah that's super weird i've never heard of this but it only ran from yeah i remember talking about it i had to i googled it because i was like if i bring this up but i'm wrong uh little rosie or one of these losers is gonna just slam me down it was a three-week promotion from may 7th to may 31st 1990 whoa i don't remember that at all that's crazy that is crazy aaron are you still telling us about the new hip-hop albums we sidetracked you

[28:31]no that's it for me for the the ones uh in april were uh push a t future and action bronson all checking out and then um can i ask matt and rob real quick so like i'm not into current music do you guys get excited like when there's a new album that comes out or there's something there's new music come out matt do you get pumped for that or not not really i mean depends on who it is right there's a narrow group when they come out you know but i don't know i try to let the general

[29:01]public tell me what i should be listening to yeah and i'll just follow everybody else like a i like that bunch of sheep but yeah i don't know i got to admit something embarrassing to you guys they might be giants came out with a new album like three months ago i have yet to listen to it what it's my favorite band i haven't listened to the album i don't i when i'm walking around i'm listening to podcasts or i'm editing this crap or i'm like listening to music in the weight room i just getting into a new album is it's tough for me and every time

[29:31]especially with they might be giants i listen to it and i go i don't really like it and then i get kind of bummed out and then i have to listen to it more and then i like it's just i don't know guys i old music over and over but like russ i want to play very quietly not too long it is tough with new music it's hard to get into you gotta listen to it more than once what about you russell no i i couldn't tell you one album that's come out no there was a metallica one or two that's come out in the last probably 10 years that i'm aware oh god 10 years i thought you're gonna say like six months oh no no no no i have no i don't know

[30:04]any i don't know any music that's and i don't really listen to the radio anymore either so i couldn't tell you anything that's new i don't know any music that's and i don't really listen to the you know what i did i i did go listen to uh when kanye's new album came out probably a year ago or whatever i remember it was a little bit after we recorded beautiful dark twisted fantasy and i was excited about that listen like i listened to it once i was like yeah i'm not listening yeah i'm not was that was that donda maybe or one of the other ones yeah i didn't i

[30:30]actually have not listened to that one at all so i'm i'm mostly with you guys but a couple these things i like to try to keep up on guys we are so smart to start a music podcast this is so brilliant but it's hard when you're like really trying to get into because if like like this week it's it's missy elliott's debut album well okay you listen to that one and then you think well should i be listening to more missy elliott should i be listening to other timbaland stuff yeah oh why is buster rhymes on the beginning and end of the song i gotta listen to more buster rhymes yeah and you're gonna figure out like what was timbaland listen to i gotta listen to that yeah it's hard

[31:00]if you're trying to be a music podcast person to listen to anything else what would it be like if i made love to my wife listening to genuine like that's a dream i've had since high school like i that's i mean wait did you make that happen i mean props to you if you did no there's there's a couple technical difficulties um and i do have genuine playing on a loop in the bedroom so that's not part of it i'll just put it that way you bring it up now i was gonna share my drink with you i didn't actually make this happen but i i was confused by the name of that artist and so i've

[31:31]been drinking gin and wine all night tonight gin and wine gin and wine gin and wine so good that's the kind of drink that would instantly just get you kicked out of the bar for being too can i get a gin and wine please gin and wine please yeah if you put in these copper mugs it chills it way down there it's not that bad wait are you chilling your copper mugs no i just put a bunch of ice in there they stay cool gin and then the wine you get a gin

[32:02]oh that's so good russell rolling going how's it going with you rolling going things are going really well i'm going to go to the bar i i actually took a flight uh the other day about a week ago i i was out on the east coast in baltimore and and washington dc so i thought before i share my experience up there we could have a flight all right all right these are the stories that i like tell us about the trip you're

[32:32]on we're gonna hear gonna take your flight tonight i love this thing but i gotta sing before because i'm always behind when i listen back so i gotta sing before on the zoom you can picture me editing it so it makes you slightly back just because i don't want you to be the main host i want to be the main host i'm the star so the first the first the first thing i had to share about one of my flights was uh we were boarding for a flight and it was a smaller flight where there's two seats on each side not a bigger plane and the the lady

[33:03]or the person who was kind of checking people in kind of getting everyone their seats and everything at the the station near the gate was the most aggressive person in the world about we are a full flight we need people to check their bags i'd never seen anyone leave behind their gate area and start coming out and yelling at people are you on this flight i need to take your bag have you guys ever seen someone come out and proactively try to take people's bags before they're even in line or

[33:32]anything like that no that seems whoa i it's so aggressive it's and you know the gate checking the gate everything is so weird like i get that they don't fit above but they'll fit below like what i don't know they this is the thing this is more gaslighting by the airlines to make you think it's your fault that things are going wrong when really i guess why so many people are carrying on bags now let me think what could it be why people are carrying on their bags oh i know because you started fucking charging for bags so this is actually your fucking fault to begin with we're

[34:01]all carrying our bags on the first place but no it's our fault you're walking around blaming us get out of here no i've never seen that that's weird also is it one of those ones where they like a normal rolling suitcase doesn't fit up there that's why they're telling you you gotta check it this is where it got outrageous because then you get on and they said this flight is full we're gonna have to check 25 bags or we won't be going and there was room right she at one point threatened to tell one person you won't be getting on your flight unless you give me that bag this is this is 30 minutes before the line

[34:31]has even started yeah we eventually get on the flight there are numerous empty seats and there is essentially nothing nothing what nothing in the upper storage nothing oh so that's just it was empty they just took everything for no fucking reason it was an outrage are you gonna name the airline are you gonna call it out right here yeah it was american airlines i don't know i don't know if you guys fly american or not but i will say they made up for it because sometimes when you think a flight's gonna be bad it turns

[35:03]out to be really good well i oh jack off in the bathroom you the sexiest place on a plane oh the secret the secret this is my sneaky beat of the week okay uh folks isn't your captain speaking

[35:37]i don't know we didn't expect to have any turbulence so the plane seems to be moving up and down quite a bit uh i'm not really sure what's happening here it's uh exactly matching the uh beats per minute of genuine my pony i'm not sure how that uh is possible but uh yeah oh nope nope nope no no worries we have confirmed it is the beat of the week the beat of the week you see the guy coming

[36:00]out wrapped in the uh comforter you know that that's uh wait that was two comforters so eventually i get on this flight and i go back and i'm sitting there and the guy next to me is a tall guy so we got the big guy tall guy thing going on it's like but at least it's a it's a four seat total yeah it's not a there's no middle seat essentially so it's not that bad and it turned out this flight had a ton of leg room i don't know why it did but it did but anyways seat in front seat in front of me is open there's no no one in the two seats in front of me flight attendant comes by he taps me on the

[36:32]shoulder he goes hey if you want to move up to this other seat you go for it and i was like yeah what an amazing moment i was like american airlines was on fire just when i thought they had screwed everyone they came and said hey big dude you can go sit in that other seat we'll make it more comfortable for everyone and it was fantastic russ is like this is the greatest flight i'm so excited and then he puts on his bluetooth speaker and plays this and starts walking to the bathroom uh folks we're expecting a little more turbulence in the next couple minutes

[37:05]for the next three to 65 minutes depending which you think is funnier it's a good one so but then i was upset about one other thing with the flight so matt matt you travel enough for work how often do you use wi-fi on a flight oh oh it's a joke i wish i i wish i could a lot more that whenever i get it i get uh surveys all the time every time you fly and all i do is say please fix wi-fi please fix wi-fi that's all i do it's so bad i don't know

[37:34]why do you ever use wi-fi i don't know why you ever use wi-fi i don't know why you ever use wi-fi on the plane or no just for the messaging i just do the messaging that's it yeah i just i just turn on the i connect and then i do the messaging you know how sick my life is you know what i've done on every flight for the past one and a half years edited a podcast i'm on the flight of editing podcasts it is my editing podcast time i edit i've edited almost all these shows in a plane somehow i've told you this if i'm on a plane i'm maybe listening to music but i'm probably just

[38:01]sitting staring straight ahead at the wall and then maybe maybe texting a little here and there so i turn on the messaging that's it that's i don't you know what are you up to he just sends a picture of the map but you can't send a picture if you don't pay for the wi-fi you can't american airlines doesn't have the map there's no map there's no screen on america aaron's aaron would be like what am i supposed to do there's no map so anyways i think i'm gonna get some stuff done and they're advertising the wi-fi but of course it doesn't work but here's what here's what sent me into an outrage 13 bucks for an hour or 17 for the flight

[38:35]what the fuck what year are we in that we're charging people 17 to access wi-fi on a plane this is so stupid it pisses me off yeah you're right we're back 17 bucks it's a lot it's a lot of dollars you should come on with an aol cd and be like if i give you this will you give me 100 free hours i've got thousands of these literally the other thing that i saw on the flight today is there was a man with a bald head that was wearing black glasses like aaron he was sitting a few

[39:04]minutes in front of me and i almost tried to take a picture and then i was like what if someone sees me taking a picture of some guy the whole time the whole time i could think i was like it would be creepy if that if that egg popped up next to my window russ is taking a picture and the guy's like holy shit that guy just took a picture of a stranger that's so weird wait now he's selecting music he just selected big bad voodoo daddy this is the weirdest thing i've ever seen in my entire life

[39:30]oh then i took the train i took the amtrak have you guys ever taken the amtrak train train oh yeah to dc i'd never taken the amtrak it's a way to go man so it was great it was great and then so when i'm in dc and i'm like there's so many great restaurants in dc so i went to a restaurant called dpgp with from daniel balut he's a famous french restaurant french chef one of the most famous chef chefs in the country right dpgp is something i've searched on bing by accident before well what does it stand for

[40:04]robs moving on it didn't go well when i ordered tried to order that on the menu either rob they looked at me for a little bit there's like well there's only two waiters here but i'm sure we can find a third i mean but then i also went to a restaurant a mediterranean restaurant zatina with jose andres he's he's one of the most famous chefs in the world right central kitchen yeah he's probably hey he's from spain you guys you you might know but he's probably one like the biggest humanitarians when it comes to kind of food yes helping um feed people that are hungry i know he's

[40:33]done a ton during the pandemic and absolutely throughout the world but no doubt it was really cool to go to his restaurant the guy's a hero can't get behind mediterranean food guys i just can't do it it was the shittiest part of the st ole cafeteria and you know that's correct nobody went over to the mediterranean section it got big when everybody was doing that mediterranean diet but guess what i don't want any more chickpeas i am good on chickpeas don't need any more chickpeas i got chickpea fritters oh my god no i know it's so good i have enough chickpeas i love waffle right yeah love chickpea

[41:04]noosh i got i got falafel i got the lamb kebab i got octopus it was all fantastic you're kind of making me want some mediterranean food russell you should you should do advertising for this place that was unbelievable then finally the last thing i did on my trip i did you guys ever done the dc monuments at night when they're all lit up so all the the capitals lit up the washington monument lincoln monument they're all lit up in the middle of the night they're open 24 hours so you can go see these whenever so i did like probably about like an 8 to 10 mile walk the other night

[41:33]where i went and saw i did the capitol and walked down the whole washington mall and saw all the monuments lit up at night it was fantastic russell which is the shittiest monument which is the monument you looked at you're like i don't get this one you know which one this isn't the shittiest don't say the vietnam memorial um i'm not gonna i'm not gonna say any of the monuments are shitty i feel like that's gonna bad karma but what i'll say is the washington monument you guys

[42:04]know i'm afraid of heights even walking by something that's that tall yeah and looking up at it freaks me out so when i started walking by and i would look up at it it freaks me out to look at it i didn't even want to look at it wow yeah just to look up and it freaks me out russell's looking up and going and passing out on the ground we got another guy afraid of heights who looked up at the washington monument i wish they would put a warning before people do this have you guys ever done you have you done the monuments kind of the tour at all in dc or not

[42:31]i know we did about a month we did about a month ago that's boys out there and we were there for the the cherry blossom festival that's right we were about two days late from peak cherry blossom but yeah so we were out there i was there what about half a year ago on january 7th i didn't get to see a lot of the monuments i was kind of doing some other stuff but hanging out with some of your best friends i don't know i had like i had a cool hat and some face paint i thought it was kind of fun i was gonna say aaron i i appreciate it it was very thoughtful that you sent your shaman bull helmet to me but i couldn't

[43:01]carry on i sent you that big cute t-shirt i don't know why you didn't wear that i sent you all the face paint all that other stuff i added rob you got that gavel you keep banging right like you keep banging that gavel from when we were talking like where did you get that again guys we're this is going to be we're timely with this bit for sure this is this is evergreen people are going to get this forever how about matt rolling going how's it going with matt uh good i got just a quick brief

[43:31]okay in the real world list here today. I did my flight out to Charleston. I was in Charleston, let's see, a week ago now. You took a flight? Yes! You flew last week, but we got two this week, baby. Alright! These are the stories that I like. Tell us about the trip you're on. We're gonna take a drive to fly tonight! Yes! Oh, yeah!

[44:01]Guys, you won't believe what I did this week, by the way. Just wait till later. It's gonna blow your mind. This is definitely not a morning zoo bit at all. Matt, you flew to Charleston. I sat down in my seat and there's a nice lady next to me. Uh-oh. How'd she smell? So, but I sat down and she had not put the armrest down, so I sat there. I sat there for a good four minutes, just thinking,

[44:31]like, can I do this? Can I see if I could just ride the whole ride without the armrest down? How long did you make it? That's like a modern-day Evel Knievel. You're like a daredevil. You sit down there with a full outfit, matching suit with a helmet, and you're like... So then I finally said, about four minutes in, I go, oh, you know, I did the, oh, you know, Minnesota thing. Oh, do you mind if I put this thing down? Oh, sure, she said. So, I couldn't do it, because I was just, I was leaning out into the aisle, like, just,

[45:01]trying to avoid even putting my elbow or anything, so I couldn't do it, Russell. I don't know how you did it. You're not an elbow-rest-up guy. No, not even close. Not even close. Yeah, well, listen, Evel Knievel crashed a lot of times, Matt. You just gotta keep trying. I think every flight, you're gonna get longer and longer with the armrest up. Just keep trying. Oh, that's so... Just keep trying. The forearms. Ugh. I hear you. I... I'm up to 488 on the list. I've got 12.

[45:31]You've got 12 to go. There's a legit chance the next time we record, you're done. Yeah. There is. Kind of depends on... Yeah. Listening... Trying to get through it, right? Like, it's... It's not a labor of love right now, but, like, all of a sudden, Miranda Lambert comes in with, like, 26 songs, and it's like... Wait, her album has 26 songs? Yeah, whatever album she's got. Is it a kerosene album? It's a double album. You literally are the ghost of Christmas future, just showing us what we're gonna deal with.

[46:01]Eight of these wings. Oh, my God. We're gonna be... 26 songs. I'm gonna do research on Miranda Lambert when I'm, like, 51 years old. Jesus Christ. Yeah. This is a disaster. It'll be good for you. Guys, what are we doing? Rob, I'm gonna tell you you should go ahead and do some research on Miranda Lambert right now. You know what? You shouldn't wait on that one. Should I wait? Yeah, I wouldn't wait on that one. I just opened up my phone, and it was a dollar bill coming out of a Coke can. I'm like, what am I doing with my life? Last thing, Russell,

[46:31]yeah. Maybe the best concert of the year was just announced that it's coming to Minneapolis, the Armory, in November. Tickets go on sale this Friday, so you gotta let me know if you want to get in on it. Let's hear it. Beck is opening for Arcade Fire at the Armory. Beck is opening? Beck is opening for Arcade Fire. No way. That's an outrage. There's no way there's an Arcade Fire. It doesn't

[47:01]better podcast. Arcade Fire does it better. That podcast shows up, and they have nicer shirts, and everybody's slightly puffer than us. November 13th at the Armory will be an official Beck Did It Better concert. Meet and greet. So, Russell, we'll have to talk offline and see what you're doing. I am totally in for that. Our listeners should all come for that. I will say, though, if there was an Arcade Fire Did It Better podcast,

[47:31]I'm sure it would be much more like NPR or something, as opposed to our boarding zoo type feel, right? You know, on this date in 1993, Joe Blow from Arcade Fire, he decided that he would not be an art major anymore. He was going to go into being an... That's so interesting, man. Yes, I know. Oh, yes. Very nice. Very nice. Wait a minute. What is this phone call? And then a new character entered into the episode. We got a phone call?

[48:01]Hello? Hey, baby. It's me. It's the Big Bopper. Oh, yeah. Big Bopper. How's it going? I was actually just reading some Kierkegaard, and I want to talk to you guys about it. It's about the Homo Superior, which wasn't my pilot when I crashed. I reside in the depths of hell, feeding my arms to Satan every night. Interesting. What else have you been doing with your spare time? Well, I've been studying the Fed and what they're doing with interest rates. And actually, I have some interesting things we're going to say

[48:31]about that, so... Arcade Fire did it bad. Yeah! The good news is, by the time this episode comes out, I think that concert will have been over for about four months. This is such bullshit. Beck. Beck's number one song, Loser. 289 streams on Spotify. The number one song for Arcade Fire, 118. Not even close. Not even close. How is Beck opening? That's ridiculous. It's a travesty.

[49:00]Let's respect. Wake Up is a way better song than Loser. Okay, so I didn't see that one coming. I was wondering where it was going. Again, none of us actually know any Beck songs whatsoever. Oh, Matt, you don't think so? No. You'd put Loser above Wake Up? Yeah. I mean, Loser essentially opened the can for all, like, 1990s alternative-type music to be. Yeah, I heard that. You know, that, like, that and...

[49:30]We've talked about it today by Smashing Pumpkins. Like, those two songs are... This podcast has hit a little turbulence. I'm just going to pull up on a stick here. But you still have to leave room for... You know, you still have to leave room for, like, humans continually getting better at stuff. You know, it's like... I mean, that's one of the things about this list, right? It's like, they keep wanting to put the seminal albums on. And that's good. That's important. Aaron, when you look at Spotify and you look at... Just look up Beck. There are five popular songs that come up. The least

[50:00]popular one is The Valley of the Pagans. I don't even know what that is, but it's 25.5 million downloads. The fifth one on the Arcade Fire is under a million. We're not even... This isn't even in the same boat. Get out of here. You're totally right. We should be doing things based on popular vote in this country. Then we wouldn't be in such a fucking shit show that we are right now. I like where you're going with that. Don't think you can just say seminal album either, and I'm not going to notice that, okay? I totally noticed that, all right? We're getting back to our roots here, for sure. Matt, I'm with you, though. I think we should definitely do a...

[50:30]Listeners of Beck Did It Better can come to the... Meet and greet. Will they be able to spot you guys because you will both be wearing Beck Did It Better shirts? Turtlenecks. The whole crowd will be wearing them, right? We'll be wearing our turtlenecks. I'm pretty sure that was the last episode, once again. Last week. Talk about that last week. How's it going with Rob? Somebody on Facebook wrote that Cheetos smell like feet. And now I can't think of anything else when I'm looking at Cheetos or thinking about

[51:00]Cheetos or eating Cheetos. How often are you eating Cheetos? I don't know. Not more than once a week, for sure. When Rob's eating feet, all he can think about is Cheetos. Do you guys think... Do you guys think about a smell of a Cheeto right now? Do they smell... Do feet smell like that to you? No. Okay. I got to get to a doctor. I got to get to a doctor right now. This is really, really bad. Next time you're eating a Cheeto, just think, is this what somebody's foot smells

[51:30]like? What's your favorite Cheeto, by the way? Are you guys a puff? Are you eating... I have never... Oh, no. The puffs are the worst. I kind of like the puffs. You put them in your mouth and they just disintegrate into Cheeto-y muck. The puff is like the version for the two-year-old kid who doesn't have the physical capabilities to eat a real Cheeto. Yeah, I like the regular ones. They're so crunchy and gnarly. I like those. Like the cheese dust gets into all the crags. I like that. I kind of like the ones that are just the paws. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? Where it's the puffy paws?

[52:00]Oh, I remember those. You're a feet guy. Yep, I knew that. One time I opened up the bag of paws and I got a dollar bill that came out of it with a foul-smelling liquid. The only food I think smells like feet is feta cheese. That's about it. I can hear that. Yeah, I can feel that. Aaron, what food do you think smells like feet? Well, that's an interesting question you asked, Rob. I was going to save that for another rolling cone, but I have a current

[52:30]addiction to a particular brand of popcorn. It's called Cosmic Corn, and they make a flavor called Hippie Dust. And the Hippie Dust, it's made in Santa Rosa, California. The Hippie Dust is a popcorn covered in nutritional yeast. And a lot of people think that nutritional yeast smells like feet. I do not. But I cannot. I've eaten half a bag of this popcorn since I opened it yesterday. And every time I go to the store now, I buy a bag of the Hippie Dust popcorn. I eat way too much of it every time. I don't think it smells like feet,

[53:00]but other people think it does. Aaron is eating this popcorn covered in yeast and then scratching his balls and being like, oh, no, that was a big mistake. And it just itches for the rest of his life. It just is red and bright. I was going to try to wait to bring that until next week, but you asked about food that smells like feet. You're fucking eating popcorn with yeast on it? Yeah, nutritional yeast. This stuff is amazing. Stop saying that. Stop saying nutritional yeast to me. It's yeast. Stop saying nutritional yeast like it's something we all know what it is. Fuck off. Stop saying that. That's what it's called. It's called nutritional

[53:30]yeast. Some people call it nooch, for short. No, stop. Shut up. Nobody calls it nooch. Aaron, don't put that away and don't point downward when you call it nooch. That's inappropriate. The nooch. The nooch is loose. The nooch is looch. Man, you asked. I was going to try not to bring it up. Hey, bro, you nooch. Can I have some of that nooch? Dude, you could totally nooch this nooch. Oh, let me

[54:00]get a nooch of that nooch. Are you guys talking about nutritional yeast? Said nobody ever. Fuck off. No, you know what? Shut up. I'm not going to ask you what nutritional yeast is. I don't know. It tastes delicious. You shut up. It's just yeast. It's like vegan parmesan. I don't know. It's delicious. I love it. I can't stop eating this popcorn. I'm going to eat some as soon as we get off this podcast. Nutritional yeast. It's just yeast. It's delicious. So if you put this popcorn into dough, it would then just rise. What if you eat the popcorn and then eat some bread? Johnny, that's a dangerous

[54:31]game you're playing there. Hey, Aaron, I've got some nutritional. I've got some popcorn here. You should really dig deep in the bag, though, because all the nutritional yeast is at the bottom. If you reach in real deep into this popcorn, I bet you can grab a nooch. Is there a sun in here? What's going on? It's so hot. Why is it so hot? I did have a few online dates who broke up with me because when I showed them my nutritional yeast. You're nooch. That's going to be a nooch. It's nutritional.

[55:00]It's nutritional. That's going to be a nooch for me, doc. Are you going to go on a second date with that guy? No, he kept showing me his nooch. He kept saying it was a seminal nutritional yeast. This doesn't make any sense to me at all. He kept saying the nooch is looch and then laughing. It doesn't make sense. What's nooch? It's actually a nickname for nutritional yeast. We get so sick of saying nutritional yeast so much in our life that we had to come up

[55:31]with a nickname for it. Can you see Aaron's wife like sitting on the couch? They probably don't have a couch. They probably sit like some beanbags. Uncomfortable. I guarantee they have beanbag chairs. We do not have beanbags. Beanbag chairs and it's just covered in nooch. There's nooch all over the place. Their favorite movie is Tom Hanks eating the popcorn and it's called Turner and Nooch. I was a big fan of that. It's a song back in the 90s.

[56:01]Who got the nooch, baby? Who got the only sweetest thing in the world? Who got the nooch? Baby. Rolling gold. You can't think of anything else that rhymes with nooch. We're pathetic. Okay. Gooch. Let's talk about the nooch. Seems like it's about that time to talk about some music. Yeah. Oh, wow.

[56:32]So, let's just recap real quick. When I asked Aaron what food does he think smells like feet, he said, oh, it's my nooch. My nooch smells like feet. Rob has somehow flipped this on Aaron. So, Rob talks about how much work he does for this podcast every week and what he came prepared with was rolling gold was I saw some people say cheese smells like feet. That was what you contributed

[57:03]to the creative part of the podcast was do cheetos smell like feet? And now you're ripping Aaron for it. Because I eat food that people actually think smells like feet. I'm actually out here doing the work of does this food smell like feet or not? And Rob's just reading takes on the internet. That's all he's got to bring to the discourse. Rob messed it up so bad, some would say he screwed the nooch. Oh, my God. What news feed do you have that's feeding

[57:31]you stories like this, Rob? I'll tell you what, this reminds me of that song Wango Tango by Ted Nooch Jint. I did tell you guys I went to that Mediterranean restaurant and had Baba Ganuch. It was delicious. I think I love that Who song. Baba Ganuch. We put that on a shirt. Put that on a shirt where it says Baba Ganuch.

[58:01]When this episode comes out, you might get it if you were paying attention for the 10 minutes where they were talking about Nooch. Oh. This might be the end. We got a whole album to get through now. Guys, you down with OPP? I am naughty by Nooch-er. All right. So listen, we are talking about Nooch. We're talking about Missy Elliott. Here's the mind-blowing thing, right? Here's what you need to know. This album

[58:30]debuted. This is Missy Elliott's debut solo album. It debuted at number three. It came out and it was automatically number three. And what you need to know about that is that that's because Missy Elliott was already getting it going in the business. She originally came out as part of an R&B girl group that got picked up by Elektra Records. They made an album and it got shelved. It never came out. But from that, she went back to Virginia and she was actually

[59:00]working with Genuine. She was working with Timberland on Aaliyah's album and was given not just, she was not just signed to Elektra Records. She was given her own label. So this is a debut album that came out on her own label. Her first album is released on her own label. It's insanity. Absolutely boss. And it just shows you how powerful she had been as a producer, as an R&B person working with

[59:30]Timberland before this, where they would say this person is a legit star. And I think it's interesting when you know she comes from an R&B background because you could hear that in her raps. It's very melodic. It's, I don't know, it sounds when you listen to this album, it doesn't sound like the rap albums that are out at this time. I mean, when you look at what's out of the same year as this, what, 97, right? This is, you have Nas coming out the year before. You have Tupac. I mean, this is kind of the height of gangster rap. And all of a sudden you get a

[60:00]woman coming out. In the beginning of the Chinese suit era, so you had Mase, you had, you know, The Lox, you had Chic Louch, people like that. Yeah, and you have this woman coming out who's rapping not in like a filthy way, like so many women rappers at the time were doing, but she's still talking about sex, but it's like a empowering sex talk way. I mean, I think it's so interesting. This album earned, so this came out, it basically, a lot of people think it redefined rap music for the next couple decades. It earned two Grammy Award nominations, Best Rap

[60:30]Album and Best Rap Solo Performance. Do you know what album she lost Best Rap Album to on this? 97. Puff Daddy. Yeah, it was Puff Daddy. I think it was No Way Out, it was called. Yeah, that was the double album right after Big Died. It's, I don't, it's just wild to me that Puff, is Puff Daddy even on this list, man? No. Not by himself. He's not an artist. That's kind of like the, he's an impresario. It's the, it's at the time, right? Like, that was

[61:00]such a huge deal. Biggie had died, and he's probably got, what songs on there that are probably every step you take? Yeah, it's got I Miss You, yeah, it's got Victory. At the time, for that not to be a winner, people would probably have been outraged, right? So, so this, I think the biggest thing about this album is this is the first time we're listening to Timberland's Beats. Rosie, can you tell me, why is Timberland such a big deal? I've been trying to figure this out, because I knew you would ask me. I mean, he's a big deal because he dominated the airwaves and the charts at this time. So, you know,

[61:30]and he had a good long run. So, if this is 97, these are all his beats. He then dominated up through, I mean, what was Timberlake's album that he did with Timberland? That would have been in the, that would have been in the 2010s, right? And that was the, it was like he and Pharrell were, and which is amazing, because they're both from, you know, Virginia. Like, they were, they were the sound of popular hip-hop. And I don't know why exactly. I mean, he just, he knows how to program a bass line. He just knew

[62:00]how to make people dance. He knew what was funky, and he made it work. Well, let's get into it. We start out with, uh, kind of a cameo from Busta Rhymes. Yeah, I never listened to this before. I never knew Busta was going to be on here. And he's only on from the beginning and the end, right? So, what I saw was that Busta was literally walking by the studio, heard what was coming out, and stuck his head in, and was like, this is so good, I gotta be on it. And they put Busta

[62:30]on as the intro, because Busta also had the same music director God, what is the music director's name that did, uh, the Rain video, where it's that, like, Fish Eye and Missy is in the big garbage bag. Are we talking about Hype Williams? Yeah, Hype Williams. He also did all, remember all those Busta Rhymes videos that came out around this time? Where it was, like, Busta with the Fish Eye looking all the same director. So, they had some sort of relationship. They knew each other some way, but Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, the first time I listened to this album, I was like, what's going on? But then, the second time, I love

[63:00]that opening. It almost is like an MC coming out and introducing the main act of the show, right? And then they close with the same thing, too. It's kind of, it, I thought it put a, I thought it was fantastic. It's a very cool opening. Next up, Hidden with Da Hee, it opens with Lil' Kim, which is wild, because imagine you have your debut album, before you say a word on the album, you have Busta Rhymes and Lil' Kim doing stuff for you. Like, that's a blast. Hidden with Da Hee, Hidden with Da Ha,

[63:31]Hidden with Da Hee, it's fantastic. Hey, Rob, also, can you tell me where the party at? I think it's, um, you want to take a, uh, right on Nooch, uh, it's gonna be good. It's in this bag of Nooch. And then, and then, the first time, the first time Missy comes in, she's singing instead of rapping. I think, I think this album is where it is for a lot of reasons, but I think that one of the big things is that there's probably no Drake without this album,

[64:00]and I think Rolling Stone wanted to acknowledge that Drake had a lot of precursors, you know, and this is one of them where someone who's singing and rapping at the same time. Well, here's one, here's one that would be, uh, what Aaron requests when he's writing adult film stars, uh, letters. Uh, sock it to me. Let's try, try this again, Rob. Don't fuck this up. How many, how many, how many episodes have we spent talking about fuckbests? People exchanging socks and this is what you got. I'll let you think about it for a minute and come

[64:32]back to us. Okay, this is what Aaron says when he's done with the fuckfest and he's looking to find, which one of these white socks are his? Oh, it's the one that smells like Nooch. Uh, sock it to me. My socks also smell like Nooch. I love the, I love the horns. I don't know, whatever they're using with the horns on kind of the beat, the sample there, I thought it was fantastic. Yeah, he doesn't do horns that much. And can we jump forward to like

[65:00]250, 250-ish? Da Brat? Can we give it up for Da Brat? This like completely sets this whole song apart, right? Yes, yes. She's doing crazy stuff with this flow. Matt, did you enjoy this one? It's alright. I mean, some of the, you know, Da Brat and, uh, Lil' Kim, it's just, that really doesn't do it for me, so I'd rather hear Missy. That's right. I don't wanna rap for you, Missy. I've got

[65:30]another rap. I'm a brat. I love what Brat's doing with time on that one. It actually, it kind of reminds me of like what Jay-Z did over the Big Pimpin' beat, which was also a Timbaland beat, just like playing with time. See, this is what I'm talking about, Aaron. Blow up his shit. What the fuck? So, here's the deal. I will say, I remember Lil' Kim mostly from causing me to pull on my Nooch a ton when I was in middle school. Well, right. I mean, she would just like, I mean, the stuff she would say, like, oh my god.

[66:01]And then, oh, and she was, I mean, she was kind of like, ooh. This is the big song on the rain. And this video, right, where she's wearing the crazy outfit and the... Yeah. It's a crazy video. I mean, it's, it's, you see it now and you're like, oh, I've seen so many hip-hop videos like this, but you realize, like, this is the first one. This is what started that fisheye baggy clothes. It's like, beep, beep, who's got the keys to Rob's parents' Jeep?

[66:30]Is it Rob tonight or his dad? We don't know. That's so sick. That's just... Oh, is it me? That's terrible. Disco balls on, definitely his dad. Oh, man. Just throwing down, dropping bombs. Why does it smell like Nooch in here? This one, this one wasn't my favorite one. I didn't think this one held up to sock it to me right before. Sock it to me. It's really good. It's hard to... But this was the hit, right? Wasn't this the biggest hit off the album? Absolutely.

[67:01]Yeah, 1,000%. Now it's a song that would make no sense to anyone who would listen to it nowadays. It's Beep Me 9-1-1. Beep Me 9-1-1. Okay, I'm going to ask you guys right now, okay? Did any of us, just give me a thumbs up or thumbs down, did any four of us at any time own a beeper? Any of us? We've done this before. This is like the third time we've done this before. Are you serious?

[67:30]Jesus, I feel like that voice... Maybe Aaron did because his dad's a doctor, so like maybe he did. I don't know. I guess that maybe he did, but I don't think he did. We've done this three times. Yeah. Might have to beep me 9-1-1 to get me out of here. What did you guys think of like the breathing beatboxing thing? That breathing beat. What was with that? I don't know. It made me uncomfortable. Rewind it back. Hey, Rob, rewind it back. Play that back again. Let's check it out one more time.

[68:00]Let me just do one thing real quick while we play this. Do you think any of us had beepers? What is that? What is the breathing? I think that's Timbaland, right? Yeah, it's probably a sample. He probably sampled it from somebody breathing. I think that's Timbaland's sample of himself because he started to get real big into using his voice from samples from that Genuine song where he was like, Yeah, I don't mind.

[68:30]Yeah, I don't mind the breathing. The thing that bugs me once in a while about Timbaland's beats is I don't love his tendency to do the kind of mumbling along underneath. He was doing it early in that one. He does it in the Aaliyah song where he's like, uh-huh. I don't love hearing him just like interject in there once in a while. I think Aaron's, I think he's taking my whole list down at this point. It's not going to be me. I think I'm just kidding. It's ironic. Don't know. Don't. Russell,

[69:01]don't apologize. When you apologize to Aaron, okay, then you become Aaron. You think you need to apologize. You're like, you're like for all the things you've done and not apologize. You're like, this is bad. Excuse me. I wrote a whole song saying I'm sorry to Aaron. Okay. That counted for a lot, apparently, because I've been doing the opposite for weeks and weeks after that. I could see why Aaron doesn't like people. Talking under things, because that's his bit that he does all the time. They don't want to fuck with me.

[69:30]With Timbaland. Aren't these all featuring Timbaland? What's going on here? Well, I think he sings on some, but not others, right? I mean, I have not listened to a lot of Missy, but man, her flow and her internal rhymes are so good. That's why I think it's important that you understand she comes from that R&B background, because it's like she's rapping like it's a song, right? She's not just rapping. It's

[70:00]melodic. It sounds so good. Yes, Rob, you're right. Something, something new. All right, let's move on. We're just running on fumes. So I thought this was the biggest hit, but is this just a cover of a reggae song, or why do I think this is the biggest hit? I've never heard this one before. I hadn't heard this one until this one. Really? No. I mean, I know Past the Dutchie, but I hadn't heard this one.

[70:30]I think it's interpolated, right? Past the Dutchie. Yes. Yeah. Man. I feel also This is what that was the part I heard. Yeah, yeah. I feel like I've heard it before. We talked a lot more about the mix of the tunes last week when we were talking about Jimi Hendrix. I feel like a lot of this stuff, all the Timbaland stuff, and also a lot of stuff that

[71:00]Busta did, and I don't know if Timbaland was doing those beats or not, but when I heard this in high school, it sounded like crap to me because I was listening to it on a crappy car speaker, and I didn't have bass in my car, so I heard no bass. Wait, you weren't letting the Alpine blast? I wasn't letting the Alpine blast. I know, I know. You're going home as raw going to give it to you, and you don't even let the Alpine blast. That's unbelievable. I was always dreaming about letting the Alpine blast. And I think a lot of these songs,

[71:30]as you get older, and you might have either better headphones or a better, slightly better speaker system in your house, starts to sound way better. Like, this stuff sounded terrible to me. I felt like I could never hear the voices. There was no bass, and when you really hear those on decent speakers, you understand what these people were doing with sound, and it sounds great. Byte, just like Aaron's wife, when she's watching the Harry video, is Byte Our Style. Oh! Is that from this episode? I'm so confused.

[72:00]I think so. It counts. This is an interlude. Yeah, interludes are nice. It keeps the vibe going. Get you somebody who cares about you like Missy cares about Timbaland, you know what I mean? Friendly Skies. Ooh. This would be a great intro to Flight Tonight, I would think. Is this a genuine one? Yes. Is that a genuine one? Is that genuine in the back going, yep, yep. Well, actually, I think it's a vocoder, actually.

[72:30]There's a few vocoders on this song where you hear those altered vocals. That's a vocoder, and I also, you know what I thought we could do when I heard this? I was like, we have to do Pony. We have to do some other Timbaland songs. So what I thought we could do, Aaron, if you're working on a list of all his good songs earlier, we could do a list of the greatest Timbaland songs ever. Let's hear some good Timbaland songs. I would love to hear some. Timbaland beats, if you will. Yes, maybe there's some I haven't mentioned yet. I apologize. Guys, let the Alpine blast put on your good headphones.

[73:01]Grab yourself a bucket of nooch. We're ready to go. I legit think there's only one that Aaron hasn't mentioned, and it might be the namesake of his podcast that Rob had to feed me. First song on the list from 1996. This is the one that made Timbaland a star. I think this is Pony. This is Gin and Wine. Gin and Wine. I forgot about that one. That's so good. So I heard that that is a vocoded

[73:32]vocal sample, and then there's also, I don't know where it's at, Rob, but I knew you'd appreciate this. There's a cartoon slide whistle somewhere in that song. Oh, wait a minute. I think I hear it. Do I hear it somewhere? I don't know. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a slide whistle. That was it. Rob, you're on the record on this podcast that grinding is one of your absolute favorite things to do. There cannot be a better grinding

[74:01]song than Pony, right? That has to be the number one. All these Timbaland songs are great grinding songs. Everyone. I love grinding, but you know what? Number one is grinding, but you know what number two is? What's that? Bumping. So I mix it up a little bit. Some people are bumping and grinding. I'm grinding and bumping. I keep it, you know, with the other Zig-I-Zag. I think it's great. So a lot of people out there think that Genuine's name is, that's his real name, but it turns out it's not. Do you guys know what it is? Wait a minute. People thought that was Genuine's real name?

[74:30]No, I'm just kidding. I want to know. I don't know what it is. He's going to be saying, you're smoking that nooch. Elgin Lumpkin. Elgin Lumpkin. That song would not have been as cool if this was Pony by Elgin Lumpkin. Elgin Lumpkin. That sounds like a dwarf that you would live with in a cave next to Sleepy. Lumpkin. I kind of wish it was because we spent so much time in college listening to Lesbian Seagull by Engelbert Humperdinck. It would be cool to see if Pony by Elgin Lumpkin would stack up.

[75:01]Let's see. My rhymes are round like a pumpkin. I got the Alpines thumping. You know what? He should have been Elgin Lumpkin. I can think of three of the rhymes right now. That's such a good idea. Aaron, you mentioned this artist earlier. I think one of the other artists that Timbaland worked with early on that really made him become a success producer was Aaliyah, right? This is Are You That Somebody from 1998. Check this one out. From the Rugrats soundtrack.

[75:30]The Rugrats soundtrack? Yes. That's what the baby sounds are. I read this was nominated for Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal in 1999. She lost Who Do You Think Won? Can you guys name who won Best R&B Vocal in 1999? Matt, you got it? Lauren Hill? It is Liz Lauren Hill. Lauren Hill, doo-wop, that thing.

[76:01]There we go. Beat this song up. That's a pretty tough race, isn't it? That's tough. That would be tough. It's hard to choose, man. It's tough to choose. I loved that song. I love the rap section of that song. Whoever does the rap in that. It's Timbaland. Oh, my God. Guess what? I am the man. Got people shaking my hand. Who's Timbaland? Who's Timbaland? Or are you talking about Elgin Lumpkin? Yeah. Wait, no. Elgin Lumpkin. Wait, no. That's not him. That's Genuine. Timbaland's name is Timothy. Timothee Elgin Lumpkin.

[76:31]It's Tim Moser. It's so late. I am the man. That Aaron also mentioned tonight. This is from 2000. This is Jay-Z, Big Pimpin'. Produced by Timbaland. Timbaland Beat. Yes. With UGK. With Bon B. I didn't listen to this. Big Pimpin'. Big Pimpin'. There's a little whistle in this one, too. It's just a Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-M-P. Russell, I know you've got a fun story to talk about with this song,

[77:00]but I'm just going to ask you this. How many years until we see Jay-Z doing an ad for Goodyear where he is singing Big Blimpin'? I guarantee that's in the next 15 years we see a Jay-Z ad to Big Blimpin'. You remember when women did this in the 80s and 90s with their hair? They were crimping it. They would crimp their hair. What if crimping came back and they were Big Blimpin', Rob? Now, crimp has been a word of word, and I knew that because my younger sister used to crimp her hair.

[77:30]I got that one. That might be in the pre-New York Times word of all days. Big Crimpin'. Yes. Okay, so I don't get why that got more play than Big Blimpin'. I thought Big Blimpin' was a good bit. So we were talking about Timbaland Beats, but it turns out he actually sampled this. It's an instrumental from Hassam Ramzi, an Egyptian composer, who worked with Balij Hamadi. This is Kosara Kosara. Check out what he sampled. Check this out. Whoa!

[78:01]Did you guys know this? No, I did not. Oh, this is rad. So essentially, this is Egyptian music that they sampled, and so this crazy thing happened. So the artist who came up with the song actually licensed it out, and then the guy died eventually, and his nephew sued Timbaland and Jay-Z, and he said, that while he may have licensed it out, that him and his family still had the moral rights to the song,

[78:30]because he went and took it, and he made this misogynistic song about pimpin', and he was like, it's vulgar, it's misogynistic, you may own the licensing, we own the moral rights to this, you cannot do this with our song. So who won? And it actually went up through the courts, and the U.S. court eventually, like, it was this big court decision where they said, moral rights are not an actual thing that we're going to acknowledge in the U.S., in the U.S. court system. So there are some countries where you get moral rights and you can prevent something like that. Not in the U.S. If you license it out, you can do what you want with it.

[79:00]You've got to fight for your rights for morality. You guys know it's not as popular of a version of that song. I also was thinking, oh, it's a shocker that Jay-Z and Timbaland and all their money prevailed in the U.S. court system over these poor guys, right? Yeah, really surprising how that happens. I think the guy might have a case because the name of that song was called Big Egyptian. Big Egyptian? No, well, you have to say Jimption and then it sounds like Biggy Jimption. That's not a good joke. Actually, I know somebody.

[79:35]I know, actually, Russell, I know somebody who would disagree with you. That's your best joke in like a month. It gets Aaron every time he laughs. Fourth song on the list that Aaron has already mentioned on the podcast. This is Justin Timberlake. This is Sexy Back. Oh, yeah. You mentioned Timberlake. Hey, hey, this is a Timbaland beat, a Timbalake beat, right? Yeah, Timbaland doing Timbalake. Now, you might wonder,

[80:02]have any of us ever walked out on a powerlifting platform to this song? And the answer is yes. Wearing a pager. But were you wearing a pager when you did it? Now, hey, do you guys think any of us have ever owned a pager before? Let's just give a thumbs up. I think Timberlake is the artist I've seen live the most. No, I think it goes Drive-By Truckers number one and Justin Timberlake number two. I've seen him live twice. Both times with Pink. Don't regret it.

[80:30]He is incredible live. Oh, yeah, good. Justin Timberlake is the man. It's so good. I read that song. Timberlake described, he was listening to a lot of David Bowie at the time, but what he was trying to do was essentially do, take a David Bowie song and turn it into like a James Brown song. So he thought that song was a mix of Bowie and James Brown. Do you guys hear that at all or not? I can hear it a little. Now that you mention it, yeah. I wouldn't have picked it out, but yeah, I hear it. No. Aaron, wasn't it you that at one point when we were discussing what celebrities we look like that people told you

[81:00]you looked like Justin Timberlake? No, I've never been told that. No, no, no. Did somebody say an egg with marker drawn on it? Back when I had hair, Heidi Saladay of KCCI News said I looked like Brad Pitt. No one's ever told me that. Oh my God, shut up. She said it. It happened. I didn't say it. He still has a full head of hair. I don't. I've known you since you were 18. You never looked like Brad Pitt. You're totally right. You're totally right. All right, last song on the list. This is the only one that Aaron didn't poach on me.

[81:30]And actually, Rob had to give this to me, so I don't even really know why I'm here anymore. But I keep showing up. Matt and I will just hang out for a little bit. But we talked earlier about Aaliyah. It turns out that Timberlake was producing a song called Our Music, and it actually, they had a verse on it with Beck. And then Timberlake heard the song, and it turns out he liked the whole song except for the Beck part, so he cut Beck out. So it was like, holy shit. He would have never cut Arcade Fire

[82:00]out of their song, right? Arcade Fire, they're so huge. But he cut Beck's verse out of it, and he was like, this is what it is. But it turns out he came back. He did a song with Beck a few years later. I believe this song is called... Diamond Dogs. Diamond Dogs. It was from the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, Rob, right? Yep. Check this out. Oh, this is wild. I gotta say, Russell, if you would have said you're gonna connect Beck and Timberlake,

[82:30]I would have said, there's no way. You can't do it. Rob, that's why you're on the podcast. Unbelievable. Is this a Bowie song? Didn't Bowie have a song called Diamond Dogs? Yeah, so this is a cover of a Bowie song. We talked about a cover of a Bowie song earlier, but that's a Bowie cover. Russell, unbelievable. That is a top five list. Great list, Russell. I had zero original authorship, but somehow I did all the work on the research and the timing of the songs. Russell. Russell's getting kind of salty. Russell, if you can think...

[83:01]No, I'm getting sea salty. Oh, too salty. It's last week again. Russell, if you can think of somebody who has covered, who has made a beat produced by Timberland and covered David Bowie, I don't know, did Missy Elliott ever do that? It sounds like it would be a double cover beat of the week. Oh, no, I was gonna say, I was gonna say Beck did it better, but you're saying it's just... Yes, Beck did it better. It's a double cover beat of the week. I don't think that's a thing. Rob sent me the three dog, and I was almost gonna take the other song,

[83:31]the song that he got cut from and say, who got cut from Timberland's songs better? Oh, that's true. Beck did it better. That would have been a good one. Let's see. Hey, I can tell you one thing. It wasn't Arcade Fire. Wait, Arcade Fire did it better. Best Friends. In my notes, by the way, I've written, this is a song about friendship. So... I'm on top of this. Here's Aaliyah, though, right? Yep. Aaron, address the drum machine here.

[84:01]You've ripped the drum machine before. Now I feel like you're on board with it. Set the record straight on your opinion on the drum machine. Oh, I mean, I think the drum machine has a time and place. I think I get tired of it if it's too much the same. I don't, I mean, I don't think, I don't think Best Friends is a great song necessarily. And I think when the drum machine is either used, on an autopilot sort of fashion, as I feel like it is on Best Friends, or places where it was used to kind of give a nod toward a certain style without actually using that style,

[84:33]then I'm not, I'm not a fan. But I, I, drum machines have time. I mean, Prince used drum machines all over, and I'm a huge Prince fan. So I'm not fully against the drum machine in all times and all places. Hello. I think you were originally annoyed on it. You were originally annoyed on it, on the Alanis Morissette album. I was. I felt like it was too much the same thing over and over. On that album. So it didn't, it didn't annoy me enough because then I tell you, I got tickets for Alanis Morissette this summer. Matt, are you going to go with me? Uh, yeah, for sure. Like July 25th, something like that?

[85:00]Yeah, it's on. Oh, that sounds great. I'm impressed. Hey, can we go to 330, that song? Best Friends? Yeah. Yeah. Let's, let's fucking overdo it. We're already up this late. You can't go upstairs anyways. Oh yeah. You hear the vocoder there? Oh yeah, I got some vocoder in there. They got a vocoder going on. Right. I love it. Russell's like an addict. Dude, I hear my stuff now.

[85:32]I hear it. Right. I learn a little and I listen for it and I hear it. Aaron, what, I don't have the name of this next song, Aaron. What is it called? Don't Be Coming In My Face. Yeah, I mean, it's just, I mean, I agree with that. Subtle. Too subtle for me. Seriously, this is the name of a song. This is ridiculous. Yeah. I did like, this is the one where it was New York, Atlanta, D.C., L.A., New Jersey, Philly. They said all these cities at the beginning. I couldn't tell if it was the beginning of the song or a list of all the cities where

[86:03]nobody listens to our podcast in. Oh, it's hard to tell. I thought maybe it was the James Brown scene where that's where she was going on tour and she was hoping they would play it on the radio there. I don't know. Right. Izzy, Izzy, Ah. This is the best song on the album. You like this one the best? This is the best one. You know why? And Matt, Matt will disagree with me. I hear lazy rapping. I hear Kanye type rapping where she's kind of barely getting the words out. Kind of like, feels like she's sleepy. Hey, I'm a mumble rap.

[86:32]We call that mumble rap these days. Mumble rap. Okay. I'm a big mumble rap guy. Whatever it is, I like it. Yeah. I think that, I think what's so funny about this is she can say things and it makes, and she can say anything and it makes it sound cool. She says, I used to hee hee in these ass cheeks. I, I don't know what hee hee is, but it totally makes sense. I'm like, yeah, I bet she does hee hee in those ass cheeks. Like, I bet that's really a thing in that song too. She talks about Eddie Bauer Jeeps. You guys remember how big of a deal Eddie Bauer Jeeps are? Yes, Eddie Bauer Jeep.

[87:00]Yeah. I mean, if you tried to. Eddie Bauer trim on that Jeep. If you tried to explain to somebody now what an Eddie Bauer Jeep was, right? You'd have to start by saying, okay, so you go to the mall and they'd be like, what's that? And you'd be like, okay, wait, back up. But if you said to me, I mean, if you said to me, oh, there's going to be a shit. What's that store? Wait, wait, wait. If you said to me, if you said to me that, oh, I just got a Spencer Gifts Jeep, I'd be like, well, what the fuck are you talking about? But yet an Eddie Bauer Jeep was like more expensive than regular Jeeps.

[87:30]Eddie Bauer. It's like, oh, these come with a free pair of khaki pants. Didn't those have like the light colored leather interior? Yes. Aaron do. Is it weird that I know what a Coke can with dollar bills in it is, but I don't know what an Eddie Bauer Jeep is. I don't know. My friends were obsessed with Eddie Bauer Jeeps is just, it literally was a trim package where you could pay like an extra 5,000 and get an Eddie Bauer. And it said Eddie Bauer on the outside. Right. It's crazy. Yeah. Mine, uh, mine, mine came with a shirt that said nice Bush.

[88:00]That was the Spencer's. The Spencer's Jeep. I gave up on that joke halfway through. Sorry about that. Trim package. Trim-ish. Trim package. Trim package. Nice trim. Uh, all right. Why do you hurt me? The flow here is. This, this was the point in the album where. I, I kind of like the Jimi Hendrix albums that are 35 minutes long with like 10 songs and not the, not the 20 minute long hour, 15 minute album.

[88:31]She, she recorded this entire album in two weeks. That's amazing. Oh, bomb diggy. But you, you always hear about that with people, their first albums. Yeah. They've had so much stuff built up or they've been working on stuff for years. To get to their, you know, then it's always the second album. We were like, oh shit. Now I get to get stuff out. Sophomore slump, but we're second albums. They get more money so they can just like hang out in the studio and chill and record stuff.

[89:03]But like if your first album, your labels, like you got two weeks to get this thing done. So they get in there and get it done. I think we've talked about this once before, Aaron, you might remember it, but this is where she's saying, I'm such a good rapper. Haven't we talked before about how we love when people are saying like, I'm the best rapper. I'm the best, I'm the best rapper or whatever. It was fantastic. Wasn't it? Yeah. If you're out there just calling yourself the best and people are gonna be like, yeah, the person's the best. It's like my style is the bomb diggy. I mean, how do you argue with that?

[89:31]Should we bring back bomb diggy? That sounds like a good phrase to bring back. Right? Yeah. Let's bring it back. I think I brought it back at the open. You said give me credit for it, Rob. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were bringing sexy back. Oh, callback. Ooh, get away. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. I feel pretty funky. Got some gospel stuff here and then, yeah. And then we end with the most distinctive voice on the list to me still. It's Busta Rhymes. Busta Rhymes. Yes.

[90:00]Man, this bit, again, first time I listened to it, I was like so torn on this. The second time and third time I listened, I thought it was perfect. I gotta say, Missy's finale where she just thanks everybody. What'd you think? I think all albums should have this where they just go like, hey, thank you. I just want to thank God. Hey, let's take however many big circles on an album or whatever you call it, wasted on this. No. Big circles on an album or whatever you call it.

[90:30]Groove. That's what they call it. You're totally right, Russell. They weren't thinking about vinyl at this time. Right. Nobody was pressing. Like, there's probably no original pressing of this from '97, right, or maybe a DJ copy here and there. But no, it was like it was all DVD or all CD at the time. They didn't have to worry about that. You can fit a lot more on a disc than you could on a vinyl record. Yeah. Yeah. It's the Rating System. And now it's time for everybody's favorite part of the show. The patent and very popular Beck Did It Better Rating System. Rating System. Oh, yeah. All right. Listen, this is album 93. Okay. Just as many hours as we've been up consecutively recording these two episodes back to back.

[91:16]If you think this belongs at 93, it's the best album at 93. I mean, there's no other album that could be at 93. This album, I would say, is the Bomb Diggy at 93. I think it's very, very good. That would be a Rolling Well-Toned. If this album should have been earlier. Okay. And when I say earlier, I do mean earlier in this time, but also earlier on the list. If you're reading from one to 500. Now, if you're on the Rolling Stone website, they take you from 500 to one. So it would be later on the list for them. So if you want to be later on the Rolling Stones list, earlier on this podcast list,

[91:30]that would be a Rolling Boned. It should have been higher up in the list. Or should this have been higher up in the list? It should have been higher up in the list. Or should this have been higher up in the list? Or should this have been lower down on the list? Which on the website would have actually been a click later. Okay. Or I'm sorry. Click earlier, but in our podcast would be later. So that would be a Rolling Grown. You did not like this album. It shouldn't be at number 93. Rolling Well-Toned, Rolling Bone, or Rolling Grown. So if you're reading from one to 500. Now, if you're on the Rolling Stone website, they take you from 500 to one. So it would be later on the list for them. So if you want to be later on the Rolling Stones list, earlier on this podcast list, that would be a Rolling Boned. It should have been higher up in the list. Or should this have been lower down on the list? Which on the website would have actually been a click later. Okay. Or I'm sorry. Click earlier, but in our podcast would be later. So that would be a Rolling Grown. You did not like this album. It shouldn't be at number 93. Rolling Well-Toned, Rolling Bone, or Rolling Grown. Matt, what do you think?

[92:00]I think overall the influence of Missy Misdemeanor Elliott deserves to have a spot in the top 100. Kind of trying to go through the rest of the list here. Just like the next 50. And the last 50. I'm going to go through the rest of the list here. And I'm going to go through the rest of the list here. And I'm going to go through the rest of the list here.
