[00:00]in 2020 four friends decide to listen to every one of the greatest 500 albums is decided by rolling stone magazine this resulted in a text chain that celebrated the music excoriated the order and led us to making this podcast we are far from experts we promise to do almost no research all opinions are our own unless you disagree please sit back and enjoy beck did it better we are up to album 94 and this is fun house by the stooges i try to make that 15 seconds so when you push uh forward 15 seconds on your podcast app you can just skip right to this part where

[00:31]you can hear me actually say interesting things uh speaking of interesting things guys we're talking about the stooges with their lead singer iggy pop i tried doing some research on him uh and i couldn't find much and i realized out here on the east coast he's known as um iggy soda iggy soda soda in missouri he's known as iggy coke yeah he's uh um oh no i shouldn't have tried to say anything because i don't have anything on deck i thought i had a good idea it did not happen has never happened before what is it oh

[01:02]such a strange feeling to me too iggy fanto would be a good one i'd listen to some iggy fanto that'd be fun well i know that when he went to uh the juggalo thing he was iggy fago so he was that was popular listen i'm pretty sure in the 90s he went by iggy surge iggy surge he was that kind of yeah he was kind of amped up like that that's true iggy surge is the funniest thing i've ever heard in my entire life that is a t-shirt it says beck did it better on the front on the back it says iggy surge and you're gonna get like a thumbs up from one person even if

[01:31]they've listened to every hour of this show so guys gotta get some merch there are wait there are people who listen to every hour of the show they live in my house i'm so sorry that she's dealing with this on a weekly basis oh you're making the jack off motion now aaron come on don't do that oh now you're doing the curvy woman motion and you're doing both at the same time i'm sorry that is best that is best i'm doing the curry woman motion right now what's the curvy woman motion i thought it was more like

[02:04]this so here we go let's turn on k-rob k-r-o-b for the first time tonight and definitely not having edited out an earlier stoppage here we go what's up everybody welcome to k-rob k-r-o-b listen i want to tell you about a little snack that has been on the rise in popularity you know what i'm talking about oh yeah

[02:32]we asked that what food smelled like a foot yeah aaron said i know something good i got a pop for that taste unique it's what i like to find i cover it in nutritional yeast yes nutritional yeast

[03:04]he's got it in his lap yeah he falls asleep he takes a nap his popcorn falls on his muts now his balls are so itchy he's covered his crotch with nutritional yeast he likes it covered with nutritional yeast because he is so curvy

[03:31]so aaron the new thing is that you put nutritional yeast on your balls because you like the way it feels just in case you miss it oh okay yeah i mean it might work like uh gold bond or something i haven't tried it but i guess it's worth it i think gold bond is the opposite of gold bond is the immortal enemy of you i'll never forget better i saw an unnamed guy on the football team go to the trainer once i was like look at this uh jock itch i have and he

[04:02]lifted up his shorts and it looked like raw hamburger it's seared in my mind i remember that more than the birth of either one of my kids to be fair rob i i recall this person and the person will remain unnamed but this person also played intramural basketball with aaron and i for one year and there was a game where he wore very short shorts and just like pushed that rash into people so they backed away and he would just get layups free every time yeah that stuff was potent it was

[04:31]it's so gross i've never seen anything like that jock it should only be used for good not for evil i don't think you should bully people with your jock itch that seems wrong uh listen this guy would have backed luka donovich right out of the post and scored straight out luka wouldn't have yeah or or luka don chick uh either guy the guy you said the guy who plays in the nba uh all right so listen we both said i come in to correct and then immediately get it wrong but i said it so confidently um so listen this is beck did it better we're talking about the greatest albums

[05:04]of all time as decided by rolling stone magazine i'm just doing the intro again we are all the way up to 94 and we are talking about a band called the stooges and i've got three guys here who want to talk about it we're excited to talk about the history of punk rock i've got russell in kind of southern minnesota today russell how are you doing from rochester oh guys i've had bad experiences concerts and i've got old man white hair oh i've

[05:32]been hurt and i don't care oh so good i got matt minneapolis matt how are you doing good for those of you that don't know why we call it beck did it better uh i think we finally have actually hit one that we might get four thumbs up that beck did it better beck can do any song better than the stooges i'm so excited to hear this out man i can't wait for it any song yes coming in very hot and i've got aaron and uh when i told aaron i sent aaron a text this week i said listen aaron this is fun

[06:01]house but it's not the 2008 pink album of the same name okay the album by pink and he has replied to me is that he doesn't really like albums by pink he prefers albums uh by stink and i was like i don't even give what that means really like that doesn't make sense to me it sounds really bad though aaron how are you doing what about what's going on with you guys what's going on with you they went on tour together the pink and the stink oh no oh well there's one in one of them and two in the i can't remember oh i was not gonna say what is wrong with you today can you believe that we

[06:31]just said stuff like that like yeah yeah you know what's crazy time out no no real real quick and only one person is yelling at their radio or whatever listening to right now you know there is an album called stink and guess who it's by who pink girl jam the replacements oh the replacements have an album called stink so that one dude minnesota who's always like calling just half in the bag who's yelling at

[07:02]us i just realized i made a major error in picking the voicemail so if you want to hear a good voicemail to correlate to this conversation go to next week's episode and just go to the voicemail listen to it aaron how are you doing i'm good i'm mostly confused but i'm good and um i have seen pink uh live two times i don't know if she played in the show or not i don't know if she played in anything off of uh her 2008 funhouse album but she's pretty great live and uh we gotta hurry this up because i need to read the iron man comic book that has to go back to the library tomorrow because

[07:30]my son gets on my case if i don't read the comics he brings home so let's get the pink is great all right thank you and we love to hear that i think is great yes i'm worried about that five cent fine or what what's the what's the fine these days in oakland oh i don't even know they couldn't find us no there's no way they could find us it's just he calls me out county they just cut it off there's nothing there's a fine but but the books go back because he goes back to the library and he calls me out like dad did you read that and i'll be like well no i didn't and then he's like you never read the comics i bring home listen there's no good way to transition from that story to the the joke i'm

[08:02]about to tell so i'm just gonna go for it aaron did you see you saw pink live twice yes that sounds like my sex life this year and go back to the what are you talking about with iron man and your child all right so listen uh let's get into the voicemail just the dumbest of the dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb shit listeners like listeners like dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb shit listeners like listeners like fuck off we've heard this for quite a while so stupid kiss my ass fuck off if i

[08:34]remember correctly this was a mad original wasn't it kiss my ass fuck off it's it's an all-time great i just went to a different part of that song because i was like this it's it's better than the john lennon one that we do it's so much better all right so here is it we got a text to the becks line 802-277 beck you can just send us a text and you can hear your thoughts on a real podcast and at some point folks we're going to get famous or infamous and either way you could be a part of

[09:01]history so uh if if you could have a time machine and go back in time and put right real big next to john hancock these nuts on the declaration of independence like that it would be huge that would be like you leaving a voicemail in this email uh whereas i'm john hancock uh and we got i mean we we have dozens of voicemails and we're going to get famous and we're going to get famous but we're like six away from having hundreds of listeners right i mean there's technicalities here are and so we're like six we're getting downloads an episode away from having hundreds of listeners so somebody can be somebody can be on a podcast that has hundreds of listeners if they wanted to

[09:35]text into the becks line we were doing really well into the last couple of episodes we have hit some bands that people don't seem to want to hear about i'm just going to say that i was going to say our if you look at our our listenership it's actually starting to plateau and go down a bit matt so you said we were going to get to the hundreds and i don't know if that's going to happen anymore yeah i doubt it's going to be with the stooges i think everybody listening to this is dead it's so shocking that erica badu wasn't our biggest download ever it's so weird uh all right

[10:03]let's get into the text there is a term for reverse toilet sitting and it's excellent from urban dictionary a c slater verb the art of sitting on the toilet backwards while you take a shit listen we got a text from somebody with a link to an urban dictionary definition and it was for backwards toilet city and you know what you call backward toilet sitting the a.c slater if you're going to do you a.c slater from saved

[10:32]by the bell famously sat in chairs backwards if you want to sit on a toilet back where you are officially doing the a.c slater now i do take a bit of umbrage with it because they're talking about doing a number two during a.c slater i picture an a.c slater is where you're just doing a number one i i did you listen i think sitting down in the back of a toilet with a morning when you're urinating does not make you less of a man especially if you're sitting backwards okay it makes you kind of a homo superior i wasn't even thinking it was um while uh excreting anything i thought it was more just like i've got a hangover i need something nice

[11:04]and cool in my face i'm going to just sit on the back of the toilet and cool off just like and recover i didn't even think about it i was just thinking it was like a way to kind of like revive yourself after a long night there's no rules baby i mean that you could erin honestly you can sit on the toilet anytime you want yeah you don't eat every time you sit at the kitchen table think about it you don't eat every time you sit on the toilet either yeah and normally i don't face away from the kitchen table when i'm sitting there but that's that's i'm gonna go out on a limb

[11:34]though that says that every time somebody sits on the toilet they're going and using that toilet oh look at the guy who's never cried on the toilet oh i've never been done before oh i've never been at a place with a bunch of people staying there so the only place to jerk it is on the toilet because you don't stand up yeah rob what are the other top five reasons that people would sit on a toilet unless they were using the restroom well actually number four is actually number four is

[12:03]actually called elisa turtle a lot of people don't realize that yeah i've got a bad i gotta go so bad i have elisa turtle i gotta get in there what's the screech rest in peace the screech is part of the the least the turtle leads to the toilet so that's the only place to jerk it is on the toilet so the only place to jerk it is on the toilet so the only place to jerk it is on the toilet so that's the only place to jerk it is on the toilet the screech sometimes have you guys never well sometimes elisa turtle leads to a sprain oh the sprain what was the sprain what's the sprain i'm gonna let matt tell it when casey

[12:31]casem came to the max oh yeah to the max yeah yeah to the max and then lisa was supposed to i forget who she was supposed to be a partner with but then she couldn't dance in the the thing so then of course screech who's in love with her comes and saves the day and he decides to dance with her even though she's got a broken ink she's got a sprained right yeah and so they made up a new dance and it's called the sprain am i the only one on this podcast who's ever hidden in the bathroom during a party or family event like don't i was gonna say there's

[13:00]gotta be people who like go read a book to get away from their kids or something like that right yeah like sometimes you need some quiet typically that's a place to do that but you but you just go like you go in there with no intention of using the actual restroom it's just to go and hide yeah but you take your pants off right when you sit down if i'm sitting on the toilet yeah because like maybe you have to maybe maybe you have to be like the worst the worst feeling in the world okay the worst feeling okay and this is even more so than going to a dance with somebody and running into them making out with their boyfriend at the dance the worst feeling in the world is sitting on a toilet

[13:32]with clothes on when you have pants on and you sit on a toilet it's the absolute worst it just feels wrong it just it's just not made for that you just know it's like don't you think it's way worse though if someone was sitting on the toilet with not the cover up like let's say the cover's on like the flat cover that's that's pretty bad but if that's up and you're just sitting on the seat with pants on that's pretty bad it's bad i want it you know what i'm not gonna lie when i'm sitting on a toilet i raw dog it there's nothing between me and the toilet nothing okay i'm raw

[14:05]dog in that toilet sitting all day long trying to think of another topic to go to from this and it's it's really hard because it's like and it's not because we don't we've never talked about it so many times like various uh toilet options with the of course the cold toilet paper being one has anybody tried cold toilet paper yet like broken out a roll put in their fridge no guys call the bex line 802-277-BEX tell us if you've tried becked tell us if you've tried the cold

[14:35]toilet paper method let's get into rolling going it's time i gotta click the button it's time to see what everybody's doing it's time for rolling going okay yeah here's the part of the podcast where if it's not good we're fucked for the next hour so uh let's go aaron rolling going how's it going with you

[15:02]no pressure a lot of pressure a lot of pressure you know you're in luck because i had a five star day today i had a great day i i'm not even sure where to what's the scale you gotta tell us what the scale is five out of so many stars i had five stars out of four today okay wow wow all right uh i'm not even sure where to start i'll just do it chronologically uh my son slept until 7 25 this morning i mean he was awake in the night but he slept till 7 25 so that was delightful things are turning yeah had a nice easy morning he ate some breakfast we all ate some breakfast i got a

[15:34]question though for you though yep is it did it are you so used to getting up with him that it like freaked you out so that you either had to like either go put a mirror by him to make sure that he's still breathing or two you were just up for so long i mean you were just up like well when is he gonna wake up when's he gonna wake up so you can't actually sleep that no tonight was like tonight was a special because on uh two nights ago i ended up sleeping on the floor in his room until he woke up at six so so i was i've been pretty wiped so like but this was a special

[16:01]one because he woke up twice in the night so i was in there once my wife was in there another time so yeah by 7 15 it was like we were still wiped out so but i gotta skip ahead because what i'm very excited about is robbie you ready born ready i took a flight today all right all right all right i've been waiting to hear this all day these are the stories that i like tell us about the trip you're on we're gonna hear about your flight tonight aaron's probably

[16:36]gonna be like oh yeah but it wasn't a biplane it didn't have any walls i was my head those goggles on with a scarf i was outside i was not a biplane although i we talked to a guy who had a biplane who does aerobatics but yeah i have a friend who's hey i'll tell you for every guy with a biplane there's a guy sell plane you know what i mean like just the way the market works flying the man baby uh a friend of mine friend of the podcast and occasional listener happens to own a plane and he's been asking me to go up and i didn't have my god you did it yes

[17:04]i thought we all said we would never do that i did it it was awesome it was so cool he has a grumman tiger it's a it's a it's about the size you guys remember rob's miata back in college very similar like anytime you know i was in the passenger seat anytime the pilot would reach down to do something he was kind of brushing my leg similar to rob's miata that car was scary as shit to drive on the ground because i'd be next to a semi and i'd be

[17:31]below its wheels i at no point was i like you know what would make this better if i was soaring in the sky oh it's so small i want to fly around that's something that seems really fun to me was your was uh aaron's wife at gmail.com surprised when you came back home she was like have fun see you later then he came back home she's like oh yeah yeah she was like i'm not sure that he's gonna make it home it was amazing we had a great time we took off from the hayward executive airport did a little bay tour you know you get to like listen in on air traffic control and you gotta

[18:00]like you know the pilot has to ask for permission to go on the bay tour we went out back over west of the golden gate it was incredible flew for like an hour i think hour and a half maybe super great day so that's that's a five stars out of four day for me any point did you regret at any point did you regret and i know this person flying is listening or whatever but did did you get in and say oh i don't know maybe i shouldn't have done this no what's amazing is i didn't feel nervous at all i got in felt totally calm the like the plane takes off so much more quickly than a commercial plane it just like you're in the air like that so you're up in the air too

[18:32]quickly to really think about it uh there was some turbulence on the way up oh god oh god oh god we're all gonna die beautiful easy flight all the way but um i mean he wouldn't mind me sharing i did feel a little bit nervous as we were going back to land in hayward um there was some cloud cover we didn't really expect and so we had to uh first we had to we had to check with he i mean he was doing it all i was just looking out the window he had to check with air traffic control about

[19:01]the route we could take to get there because we had to avoid um the oakland coliseum today because there was an ace game um fuck those guys by the way and um then we had to like descend quickly to get below the clouds um so there was a little bit of like dipping and ducking and diving there and he was like he was very clearly making some choices and pushing buttons and um and then there was turbulence coming down a bit and i started to feel a bit nervous and he did ask me at that point he said how you feeling i had to be honest i said well this is the first time i felt a little bit nervous um and at that point you're we were at

[19:34]he was like oh everybody feels nervous then he leaned over and kissed you and you're like wait what were you and then he and then he flew right by the coliseum and you guys go jester's dead yeah you know what's disappointing russell is i know top gun word for word start to finish you didn't do any top gun no no no you didn't say let's kick the tires and light some fires when you're walking out there that's not from permission to fly by i did say uh so confident you're my

[20:04]confidence the only one i was able to get off was this morning we weren't sure if the weather was for flying or not so i said i'm on ready five like cougar and merlin but that was all i could do oh boy i i really thought i was gonna be able to knock him out one by one i i blanked afterwards did you go to your buddy's house and did you say i need a shower then you make out no i'll tell you what i did afterwards here's how i picture aaron here's how i picture aaron showing up for this thing is he's in full military uniform he's in full like top gun like fighter

[20:33]thing he's been like at going to like vfw bars and getting free drinks and like totally stealing all that valor and then he's like okay time to go fly around so yeah still have valor from at the point where i was nervous i knew we were below 1 000 feet and at that point you started thinking well people could fall from a thousand feet and survive right i mean even if even if this thing what are you talking about but he had it under control the landing was buttery smooth but i'll tell you what we did after that was even better than making out we went to corner barn kitchen

[21:08]i didn't know for sure they got a rotating uh you know kitchen in there i didn't know for sure what they were gonna have chopped cheese they had a chopped cheese pop-up today fun baby boy had his first chopped cheese of his life i went flying in an airplane and then i ate a chopped cheese afterward i am so happy came home my wife and son had a good day you didn't have the chopped

[21:31]cheese before he went flying that would have been bad here's the bathroom he's like oh it's in the back but you got to sit facing the back of the plane you got to sit acs later style it was it was like i definitely shouldn't have eaten the whole thing i got home and like my son wanted to play you know spider-man or avengers or whatever in ghostbusters in the driveway and i was like i think i gotta sit down for this i can't be up you know yeah oh excuse me i have to go to the bathroom for oh i really want to play with you but i gotta go to the bathroom for like i don't know five to ten minutes dad why are your pants not even pulled down are you hiding from me in the bathroom that sounds like an amazing adventure it was an incredible day

[22:08]to peter for taking me flying today shout out to my family for letting me go flying it was amazing the other thing he said to me at one point we were flying we never got i think the highest we got was 4500 feet but at one point he said okay we're gonna send it 4500 he said because altitude is insurance and i was like oh you mean like against other planes he's like no because that means that i can go farther if something goes wrong with the engine you know he's like if that's i mean

[22:31]they don't say that to you on a commercial flight he's like showing me on his app like okay this green circle here is the green circle and i'm like okay this is the green circle and i'm here that's all the places where we know we can get to if the engine goes out and like at that point like a third of the green circle is over the bay you know it's like okay we're gonna have to turn pretty quick and go and he's like pointing out like yeah i could probably land over there if i had to but i mean i'm glad he was thinking about it it's easier to get out of missile lock if if the russians get missile lock on you yep i was we were below 10 000 feet i was

[23:01]just down there briefly i had the shot so i took it i mean this this is what i wanted to do all day russell and i blanked okay you fucked it up yep we were inverted yeah uh i i i i i was looking for that app on the app store and i think it's this one called how fucked are you app for pilots that's great russell rolling going how's it going with you things are going really well i got two quick rolling goings we can we can talk about the first one is as rob mentioned i'm actually in rochester i'm in southern minnesota

[23:31]i'm babysitting my niece and nephew for a few days so my sister and her husband could go to vegas but i had a revelation coming down here where i've babysat my nieces and nephews before i've babysat three at one time for up to like three days so i was like okay it's only two but i had a realization and i think matt and rob will confirm this when kids hit the age of like six and seven they are so much easier to deal with right like oh yeah you don't have to really pay any attention to them they're out playing with their friends they're doing their thing they can work the netflix i don't know it is it is a pretty

[24:01]it is a pretty easy job compared to what it used to be when your when your kids were aaron's age did your kids hit the age of like they just became so much easier to to kind of monitor their regular activities yeah it was like nine and seven for me where we could kind of be like hey we're going to the gym for the afternoon like don't turn on the oven or whatever you know well we've talked about it a number of times there's stages right and like there's big stages of like uh sleeping through the

[24:32]night and then there's like these minor stages like where you don't need to bring a stroller anymore no more diaper you don't need to bring a diaper bag anymore uh you don't need to worry about like a spare set of clothes or something like can hold their own that's a huge one yeah things like this right and so then the biggest ones are can they shower and shit by themselves and that's when you get to be about five six you know sometime maybe seven for some kids but you know five or six where they can kind of just like you said you can leave them for two

[25:01]hours if you needed to or you can tell them like hey go play your ipad you know for a little bit while i figure out something like that and then you can leave them for two hours if you needed to parents like you know i listen to the stooges you know but there's all these stages right what does tvi stand for so yeah you're you're absolutely right and then i think i and i don't know what the what it is now rob you might be starting to get into it where they all of a sudden stop caring about hanging out with you and then they just start ignoring you i you know i don't know and i i have mixed

[25:31]feelings about that like no i don't have mixed feelings it's devastating it is like it is right this is like russell's fear where he's like you know how when you have friends they're gonna ditch you at some point that's what happens with your kids except it's your kids and they're like don't don't walk with me do not i'm not coming with you to do our thing we do every weekend you're like it's like getting dumped by somebody who is going to still live in your house so it's literally like aaron's story of running into that guy making out with his date except they then live in your house for the rest of your life and continue to hate you and you have to cook them

[26:03]dinner so here's aaron the guy's making out with his date they go home and then they're like aaron's like hey i made you guys grilled cheese i don't want grilled cheese i want pasta and then you're like fine i'll make pasta i don't care we had a great night my niece and nephew we were deciding what we were i was going to order some food or something and my niece and nephew looked at me and they go you know what when we get toppers pizza we don't argue about food so maybe we should just get toppers pizza like perfect we'll get what you guys aren't gonna argue about it was fantastic yes but the other cool thing that i did this

[26:31]weekend i went to the brave new workshop it's an improv comedy show in minneapolis have you guys been there before yes long time ago long ago in the man i might have been in the early aughts yeah long yes i read and i went with a bear oh i'm so bad at improv yeah yes and so i read that the brave new workshop is doing has been doing original satirical sketch comedy and improv since 1958 they claim that's longer than any theater in the united states i don't

[27:02]know about that but that's what they're claiming that's still cool though it's a very cool show i've been there if you went to some of the shows like in the 50s they would probably get canceled nowadays i mean i think that's yeah sure if if they weren't doing bob newhart style stuff they were probably doing you know hey if you listen to this bob newhart shit it's on fire what's he talking about well do you know what do you know about baseball well i know all the rules okay

[27:31]well then you won't like that album but it didn't win grammy for best album but god damn this shit is crazy they were they were doing bits about how you had to go sit in the outhouse backwards put your put your face on like the the the oak back of the the hole in the in the outhouse i know i killed your story but i just got to tell you i was with my four-year-old cousin and we were in an outhouse we had to go to like a port-a-potty

[28:00]and he was like take me to the bathroom i was like oh no i was like oh this is beyond what an uncle should do so we go in and it's one of those that has the urinal you know and so he starts to put his hand up on it and i was like no no no no no so they said okay stand up here and go to the bathroom in the urinal he goes oh okay and he turns around and starts to sit on it and i was like oh no you're at the age where you're sitting down all the time so then i had to like sit him over the port-a-potty tank and like hold on them because i was like listen if this kid drops into the port-a-potty my sister's gonna probably be pretty mad about that like that's bad in my mind

[28:35]so anyways like i i get to this show it was a great show they they do sketch comedy and then they do improv at the end it was a great show the one thing i was going to ask and i also went on opening night i i'm a huge fan of this place when i saw they were reopening i'm going opening night wow one thing i was going to ask you is when do you think like covid type jokes and jokes about zoom calls freezing and that type of thing becomes old because they know the whole show was like you

[29:00]know it was locked down and that type of thing that was like it feels like they just feel like they need to get their shit done and they need to get their shit done and they need to get their shit out yeah but it's like this stuff is old like you doing a joke about a zoom call freezing that that's a year ago isn't it it's really interesting because i went to uh the village underground here the first day it opened after covid when it was still like the the people were behind glass that were doing the stand-up comedy everybody had a different mic and it was really funny because about half the acts were doing just a whole covid bit and like zoom calls and here's what i did

[29:30]during quarantine you know and it it nobody did well with that material nobody and i so we went a couple more times over the next couple months basically everyone has stopped doing that i think i think it's just like one of those things that and i have never found this with any subject but it's just not that funny intrinsically like we talked about not great surprisingly unfunny a pandemic we talked about a frank ocean album uh my favorite frank ocean line is from the album prior to to blonde on channel orange when he says my tv ain't hd that's too real and that's how i

[30:01]feel about shit like that that's too real we lived it like we did it don't fucking make it a joke like tell me something that i've never heard about like make a joke about anything else we lived that shit there were some covid jokes that weren't that i thought were not kind of timely anymore that like if you hear the word tiger king twice in a comedy show that's too many at this point right no but the show ultimately was was very good i did enjoy it but one of the cool things that was just the small parts of it where i was like it got just a little old for me but that the cool thing was at the very end the the hennepin theater trust or the new owner of

[30:33]the brave new workshop came up and said we want to thank you all for being here for the opening day we'd like to invite you all to a private party afterwards open bar food and everything so me and one of our listeners who went to the show with me we went to this private party and i was like how cool is that have you guys ever gone to like private parties for something like a like a community event or anything like that you know my my great regret in life is i went to that prince concert and on the afterwards there's a sign that said hey come continue the party

[31:00]drive to paisley park and we'll party all night and my response was no i have to go to bed now i didn't have a job i wasn't working but i was like i was like no it's a huge regret i went to a private party once at first ave i went to see nico case at first ave and then um i think we had a friend of a friend who was dating a woman who wrote for city pages and so we got into the private upstairs party and it happened to be prince's birthday so we did get to dance to prince tunes with nico case that was that's the that's the

[31:30]private party story i've got one of the coolest things so we go to this private party we walk you don't really know what to expect we go in but they've got an open bar you can get whatever you want at the bar they've got a buffet with food they have a dj there's people the actors come in they're kind of saying thanks to everyone you get to say that you enjoyed the show and everything it was very cool but you mentioned a dj or dancing here there was a dj here and he was playing music and there was barely anyone dancing the whole night i kind of felt bad for him like what do you guys feel bad for the dj when they're working hard and nobody's on the stage and they're like oh my god

[32:03]the dance floor no i mean i think well look like it's the life of a dj right i mean like it's kind of like a photographer it's like anything you you're making money right doing a skill at whatever you're doing right and you're gonna have some stuff that's just big duds and you're gonna have other things that are like it's this is gonna rock all night this is the greatest thing ever and this is why i'm doing it but it's not like that guy was like oh i'm so you know

[32:33]nobody's dancing my music he's like here i'm here for three hours and if they dance they dance so they don't i don't he's probably as confident as hell and what he was playing so it was probably all good but no i would i i don't feel bad for those people right what do you at least i mean you're gonna make other people feel awkward that they're not dancing you know i i don't know well at one point matt they did play beck so i grabbed my date and like if they're playing back we're going to dance so we go out we start dancing and this was one of the djs where he was changing the

[33:00]song up like every 30 seconds so we were like oh my god i'm gonna dance i'm gonna dance i'm gonna dance we legit went out and danced and he changed the song while we were out there dancing to beck and i was like what a boner of a move don't you think you're out there trying to help me and what was his setup was he was he doing vinyl or do you have a digital setup it was a digital set all digital there's nobody doing vinyl no i know no i know vinyl's hard yeah i mean there's yeah it's you're still djing but he's gotta let that run if you're out there dancing man you're trying to help him out did you do the patented russell guitar solo off the dance floor i didn't even have time to do the patented guitar solo to the bar rob i you know that's normal

[33:33]my move i do it right towards the bar and then i go sit by myself but i didn't even have a chance to do it i think it's kind of rude to think that people are just going to dance like i think if you're going somewhere and you're not expecting to dance i it's tough when if a dance breaks out i'm ready to dance when i know i'm going to be dancing you know what i mean bullshit you're ready to dance anytime when would you go to like tell the truth when would you go into a room and there's a dj and you'd be like i don't feel like dancing never i love to dance i'm saying i'm

[34:00]telling you nobody's ever been in their deathbed been like oh it was all that dancing rob can't heat in his heels maybe you've heard the legend of funky john henry a man who thought he could dance so well until he went against this the steam dancer steam dancer yep and i see where you're going here he beat the steam dancer the steam dancer blew up and then john henry died from syphilis that he contracted at a party earlier so a cautionary tale about the lifestyle of a dancer well i didn't use the bathroom in this this party

[34:33]hopefully i didn't contract anything but uh we can also get that by the way from a peloton seat a lot of people don't know i know i stay away from peloton since then but uh but we did end up closing down the private party the actors had come and gone and everything so we closed it down i felt pretty proud of that but i did have a question for you guys i need a little bit of dating advice about my date that was at the brave new workshop can i get some advice oh yeah to the corner it's time for russell russell at any point corner were any actors there did you try to engage in an improv

[35:03]like were you talking to him and you were like you're like oh i'm your waiter i'm horny i did not engage in an improv but i i did when they walked by and they weren't talking with anyone did say hey great show we enjoyed it um big fan of coming to the theater and everything and it's been the four actors or actresses that have been pretty prominent for years so it was kind of cool excuse me can i get a drink for you i'm your waiter i'm horny wait was that what i was last time the waiter

[35:30]who's horny i forgot i think it's better i'm so bad at improv it feels like i thought it was i thought it was a trend to go i thought you were the bartender that was doing hand jobs in the back i'm horny and i'm your waiter oh i switched it up there i'm pretty proud of myself they're doing the brat voice too so so anyways uh going to this show before i was telling my date hey i really love this theater i've been here numerous times before and i started talking about all these shows i've been and at one point she said do you take all your dates here oh and so then i got kind of got squared up and i was like oh i'm

[36:03]what is what is the advice that you guys would give to someone if you've been to a place before with other dates are you allowed to say like hey i've been to this place before like should you tell someone act like you've never been to a new restaurant should you act like you've never been to the theater or do you have to admit i've been here numerous times before i i think it's like a browsing history right everybody's got one not you don't need to ask and go see what it is right you like you don't need questions about like you know what is this website hornywaiter.com

[36:35]why are you going to hornywaiter.com they don't need to ask i i don't know what do you you say you say uh oh yeah and they all went really well no you can't say that that's like if you went it's like if you went to church and your date was like i love hearing this organist play and you were like what do you know about organists like you wouldn't want to ask that question like that's something you don't want to answer like maybe you had a friend in college and actually had like the shoes yeah right you don't need to bother with somebody those organists have long fingers don't they

[37:03]this is so because nobody even knows why this is an inside joke except for me i know i know i'm sorry i shouldn't have oh there's plenty of good i guarantee steve that steve knows what we're talking about brian joe from woodbury they know barry he's probably understands yeah i i don't know i i would say our listeners right i would maybe just say no i'd lie be like no i never brought a date here but then you always say no i never brought a date here but then you always say no i only came by myself like that's a psycho shit too right i think you just say like this is

[37:34]way like this is i yeah sure i went here it's you know it's like stamps on your luggage yeah i was here before with a different person but it's a place these women are like stamps on a luggage that is sick experiences are stamps i was gonna go with the same thing rosie but i i think it kind of depends on you know like where we're at in the relationship is this like a first date and they're asking this is this like down the road what is our intention so i really think it kind of depends on who you're bringing my group man too i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know and like what the intentions are and what the ramifications are by the answer downloading the

[38:07]podcast very good i i learned very quickly with girlfriends to not ask about their history because i would ask and then they tell the story and then that's all i could think about uh when i was jacking off later that was tough i knew that joke was coming i absolutely knew that was the joke that joke was what aaron russell's like russell's writing down notes what is he writing down russell you sicko

[38:37]to be fair she wasn't probing she wasn't over asking about who i'd gone with before anything but i kind of just said i've been here a few times and shared one of the stories actually had kind of a disaster date story once there where i went and she was very religious and it was during one of their holiday episodes and they made some kind of off-color jokes if you're a very religious person i'm jesus and i'm horny and i kind of just looked over at the table and realized the night was not going very well

[39:04]jesus the horny waiter hey i'm hunky i'm hunky jesus you might remember me from four episodes ago hunky jesus here i've got my crown of thorns but i've also got a crown of horns like i'm here to make some new memories with you you know like whatever wherever it was yesterday you know that's i think that's here that is so good i'm here to make some memories with you oh aaron so ultimately what's your guy's advice to you do you admit you've been somewhere before do you act like you've never been

[39:32]you can never go wrong with telling the truth russell never ever ever otherwise you got to keep those lies up because something will come like three years from now about like oh you saw that show was so you know and so then wait a minute i thought i was the only one so you can never go wrong and if they don't want to hear the truth and they can't hand you can't handle the truth that's right like uh jack nicholas told tom cruise you know that's their problem uh they can still keep downloading yes yeah absolutely yeah just put that on multiple devices yeah under multiple accounts

[40:05]whatever if they're gonna find out you're quite the coxman i think that's fine too if you're like oh yeah i brought literally hundreds of dates here like it's not a big deal to me all right maybe you guys better let me out you guys better let me out of the corner here you know what we're not gonna let you out of the court of russell i mean what i love about this is that russell's date basically had the little red corvette experience at the workshop that was russell's advice corn a lot of pictures of the jockeys that were there before her so what happens when you're with a super religious date and they're making fun of religion do you have

[40:35]to act like you're like really mad about it too or you just i tried to not laugh as loud as i was laughing earlier in the show i'm the easter bunny and i'm horny that's all i know about religion i'm so bad uh matt rolling going how's it going with you uh good i think you know this is a very therapeutic endeavor that we've got yeah we can talk to each other and there's only dozens of listeners so it doesn't really matter i think it's a very therapeutic endeavor that we've got really matter i don't know we talk about but it's also very informative and i had to go to the

[41:05]dentist this week and i haven't had a cavity since i was like 13 oh boo fucking who i've not had a cavity since i was for you that's all i've loved going to my dentist but i've dentist i've been noticing that you know like instead of having somebody who answers the phone they've got like an automated answering service now and like you used to be able to kind of get in like within a week and it'd be good but now it's like they push it out like and you go to the dentist and they're dentist office and they don't have like the free coffee anymore and stuff like that so i think

[41:33]i think my dentist office is maybe not doing so hot so that it got me thinking when you guys were fucking talking about it like so i think i got a cavity now because my dentist office isn't doing so well financially so oh it's old which was the direction of causality so i'm gonna push so that's what you guys we got so now i've had a cavity since i was 13 and now you guys you know you don't have the coffee anymore you only got two people working behind the counter not four like see what's going on this is outrageous that you would say this about dennis i will not stand for

[42:03]this dennis slander i am a notable pro dennis person on this podcast okay that can't be right notable you are you need to you need to start brushing your teeth a lot i you know what i've started doing is i've actually started flossing and not just doing what i did before which was uh lying about flossing to the dentist and it turns out that it helps i've gotten no cavity since i started flossing i should have been doing this shit like my whole life by the way man i want to go back to something your dentist had coffee like you were drinking

[42:33]coffee before you went to see the dentist they had like a coffee machine not what was before i think it was after you're waiting or you're you know like parents were waiting with their kids or something like that so they had they used to have free coffee man comes in he opens his mouth they're just like hi it's probably a covid thing right i mean it's probably a covid thing they don't have anymore but it fits much better with my narrative that's right my you know right right so then the only the other thing i've got and again not true dennis don't do that no and i i don't know if this

[43:04]is safe space for this or not but i'm gonna go with you anyways yes rob i mean i gotta ask you do you ever make assignments in your classes just to get back at parents just uh or maybe your kids are a little too old so i'm talking about a fourth grade class here yeah just to get back at parents is there anything vindictive about your parents i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know the homework assignments that you ever give because i swear to god no leo's fourth grade

[43:31]teacher has got it out for the parents oh no oh i love that i'm gonna hear more i would say i would say if it's like you know draw how your parents go to the bathroom like i think that's wrong your kids should not that should not be an assignment that's the only one on the board that's like facing the wrong way his pants are on this is sick what is going on he says he's you would you would have to take your pants all the way off to the ac slater right or just like leave them on one leg because i think if you

[44:01]leave your pants on you're in more of like a superman type i think you're right let's see that's why around my house i only wear chaps and i can sit on the toilet anywhere i want are they leather or are they so how are they getting back at the parents man are they making you like so the assignment is bring in a hundred dollars is a is a rube well there's two things but is a rube goldberg assignment oh yeah that's when that's at the end of the year when you don't want to do jack jack shit five times in my career and it's always when i'm like okay i'm fucking done with this shit and then

[44:32]you just make the kids so there you go that's fucking impossible question asked question answered there we go that's rube goldberg is simply to waste time because i can tell you it teaches kids jack shit well that's what that was my that was my thing right like so leo's like i'm not gonna do it i'm like what do you mean you have to do it like well but okay well all right so so i come up like all right let's i'll help you let's do some things you know so i come up with some because you know uh education we all received at st olaf makes us all very smart people very you

[45:03]know actually national champs many times in the rube goldberg contest actually that is true but so then i started saying things like well how about we try this well you know it's really like the kids are supposed to come up with this idea and you know like parents are just supposed to help which means that he doesn't like he doesn't want to work and get my you know get my building right all this stuff and take the time to do it he's like why do you have so many hustler magazines fall over like dominoes this doesn't make no this is tough can you keep them up like can we put some

[45:31]tape around no you can't at the end it opens and you can see her peen it's like wow this is doesn't so okay well we won't take it yeah that's that's the one thing i remember about it that guy who had a hustler in college because i was just looking through it i was in a dorm and i was looking through it i was like oh this is a nice pornographic magazine and i was like okay this is interesting this is interesting and then you just open it it's a close-up of a female urinating you're like what this kills the vibe this is a vibe killer you know what i mean like it's bad or unless you're into it then it's fine but i don't want

[46:01]to see it i should feel like the page before should be like warning this is what this next there should be there should be i don't want to say i i mean can you no you should be a warning page wasn't there a table of contents like russell if you went to the to the new the new visions theater or whatever and the first act was somebody coming out a woman coming out on a clear toilet and going ac slater toward the crowd you would be shocked and awed by that right matt matt what did you bring up

[46:32]and rolling going what what is happening right now and then that toilet i don't even know what that toilet knocks down a pendulum which knocks down the dominoes which knocks over which starts a fan which blows the rabbit toward and then man's kid gets like a minus which lowers the ball in the tank so the water goes down so we set up this thing we had to do we had to do eight moves or whatever and it took 20 takes yeah we finally got it now we could submit his minute and a half video and we're all good so so yeah so

[47:02]question asked do teachers have it out for the parents and the answer is yes yeah but it's when the rube goldberg comes oh i can tell you exactly how that's getting graded five five five did they turn it in five five five they're not watching a bunch of videos and and and i can tell you they're your your kids are learning nothing from that they might try to be like oh it's simple machines it's not okay do i see a archimedes screw in there no you don't it's not a simple machine get that shit out you've never seen a simple machine it's not a simple machine it's not a you've never seen archimedes screw in one of those magazines rob it was after the warning

[47:32]warning things are gonna get greek in here what is this episode description to say what can it possibly say this episode is gonna make any sense rob rolling going how's it going with you guess what guys what's that i was on a flight this weekend all right that's a new version he re-recorded it

[48:00]it's like the cover version we're gonna hear oh is this my fish that's the gortz that's the gortz noodling to be fish uh all right i'm not gonna tell you how many takes that took uh so uh this i went on a flight and the best is i i flew with an infant when i fly with an infant first of all people look at me with a look of terror because me a 300 pound plus guy with a baby coming to sit next to them

[48:30]their worst infant have its own seat or absolutely not i am too cheap to pay for a seat there we go yeah there we go and i was on my laptop in between me and the seat in front of me i don't know how you could put a baby there i'm stuck in a baby down in between it's like the dog fits under here it should be fine baby in there i was gonna put that well i was gonna put the baby in a dog carrier but i actually have to pay for a ticket for the dog you don't have to pay for an infant if it's under two and but the only

[49:02]thing was that the kid did not like all the people were like why are you taking a picture of uh jessica rabbit from who framed roger rabbit and holding a baby that seems wrong but uh basically it was the greatest thing ever because at some point they go anybody flying with infants can board now and i was like like hey i really look forward to making this flight an extra 40 minutes yeah ass i was like i'm gonna fly with an infant and i was like i'm gonna fly with an infant and i shit yeah i got up there i pushed some service guy out of the way like there's some marina i was like get the fuck out of here this is infants first baby i'm getting on the flight right it

[49:34]ruled so i'm sitting on i'm sitting on the flight i get on i'm walking past a guy reaches down who's sitting there he reaches down a person ahead of me in line and picks up an inflatable pillow and he looks at the person in front of me and goes is this your inflatable pillow they say no go to the person in front of them is this your inflatable pillow and they're like no and he looks at me he goes is this your inflatable pillow and they're like no and he looks at me he goes is this your inflatable pillow and they're like no and he looks at me he goes is this your inflatable pillow and i go no and i said well you're just holding some random person's inflatable pillow that's a bummer you can just see in his face he's like fuck what am i gonna do with

[50:07]somebody's pillow who's not mine because you can't just throw it on the ground because then somebody's gonna pick it up and give it to you and say this is your inflatable pillow and you have to say no it's not my inflatable pillow well yeah i saw you drop it it's actually somebody else's inflatable pillow and then they're gonna think you're some sort of inflatable pillow freak right and so like all of us were acting like he had the plague we're walking by like not our inflatable pillow please don't hand it to me please don't give it to me and i was like well what do you do are you is he just gonna use the inflatable

[50:31]pillow like you know you can't use someone else's inflatable pillow he has to deflate it and then put it away and that's what was fucked up too is it was already inflated when you're getting on the plane defeating the purpose of the inflatable pillow it makes makes no that's why you don't pick things up and say is this yours you just point at it and say is that yours is that yours then you can walk by matt actually wait a minute that was matt's smart comment of the week matt that's the smartest shit i've ever heard in my entire life don't pick it up have outs guys you gotta have outs yes pick something up you just

[51:04]said it god damn that's so smart i gotta ask you a question i gotta back up i do have to ask you a question oh i hate it did you have an aisle with the baby or a window or where were you i had the aisle and then my my seven my nine year okay edit point my 10 year old was sitting with me as well so i had lots of room actually so was it just the two of you or was it like it was just the two of us on a two by two flight i'm gonna take i'm gonna take a complete different approach here and say

[51:31]that you know when they let the babies on first and you're like all excited i would be walking around that damn airport for the next 25 minutes of being the last person on with that baby i you know what you're right because it wasn't fun to have to sit there for that long yeah you don't want to watch first class people get on and i'm already sitting there i was like if i was in the seat next to rob and an infant i would just turn around and get off the plane and go book a new flight for later russell's getting on his app with the green circle like where could i have

[52:02]land if i jumped out of this plane i think we're under a thousand feet so i think we'll be okay what what uh what airline was it it was delta oh but it was it was at one point they announced it was a half hour delayed and i've never seen him do this they said we're delayed because one of the flight attendants hasn't shown up oh yeah that happened but it's so bizarre that they point out oh it's bizarre that a giant corporation would try to make it the fault of one worker that their entire system is built on a fucking house of cars at the airport aaron isn't it it's almost like

[52:33]they're no but usually the the flight attendants are like flying in from salt lake city to memphis and then they're gonna go memphis back minneapolis to for home kind of a thing so yeah it's like a it's like a real scheduling thing it's not like they're saying like this person didn't call in to work today and now we're all screwed i would say it's almost like a corporation that transports you know millions of people a year shouldn't still be using computers that appear to be from 1985 have you ever seen the computers that are behind the thing like it's green font it's like

[53:02]what i used in middle school russell's clanking over the key screen the computer board keyboard but that's what it is too and you go ask him a question it's just what are you typing back there i'm pretty sure they're playing z bug or the oregon trail on those computers while we're waiting in line diphtheria diphtheria watch out for diphtheria number munchers let's talk about the album these three guys are great i love when they punch themselves in the nose like when they

[53:35]hit the guy in the head this is just a great a great you know there is a story about that where apparently one of the guys did call uh mo howard and said hey we're gonna name our band the stooges and he said well as long as you don't name the three stooges i couldn't care less interesting yeah well i but who knows that seems like a story that might be totally fake speaking of you can't care if you couldn't care less should we get to the final rating system and call it a night but we'll be there

[54:00]in about five minutes with a seven song album don't worry we're gonna get right there uh iggy pop was uh grew up in ann arbor michigan uh and basically he was a big fan of soupy sales growing up which is a old tv guy that somehow everybody seems to love uh it's kind of like our uh saved by the bell and soupy sales used to ask people to write a letter and he would say you can write anything in the letter but it has to be 25 words or less iggy pop said i love that idea that's how i'm going to write my songs and so every song he tried to put in the least number of words

[54:30]absolutely possible and it turns out that growing up in ann arbor was in the in the late he was in the you know in the 60s was really like he was growing up in this punk scene that a lot of people don't talk about when he started the stooges they actually got kind of hooked up with mc5 the band where they ended up playing with him at the democratic convention in 1968 in chicago which is the one where there was all the people who were playing with him at the democratic convention in 1968 all the rioting and when somebody came to an agent came to see the the mc5 they said hey you should also check out this little band that plays with us called the stooges and the guy saw him play

[55:02]live and saw iggy pop like rolling around on the stage i mean that's what i get from this there's a great documentary right now on amazon prime uh about the stooges and basically the whole time they're like they're a really really good band live is kind of what they started what they kept saying over and over and then the stooges move out to los angeles and uh are influenced by albums like bitches brew james brown they want to have a little more room for improvisation they want to have a saxophone player that's supposed to be like maceo parker on acid and basically they got out to

[55:33]electro studios they tried to do a day where they were all in the studio they all had headphones on they were all playing and doing their instruments and they hated the sound so basically they tore apart the studio made it one live arena where they could all play at all the instruments together with a handheld mic and that's why you're getting the sound like you're getting on this album which is very very raw i mean this is this is what a lot of people and i think we've said this now about 20 times feel like is the start of the punk movement um but it's a very raw album and you can you can hear

[56:02]i don't know it's just such a it's it's such a weird unique album where there's it's just hook after hook i mean there's no rhythm guitar on this whole album but there's a saxophone like it's it's this is uh 69 this came out so again the whole punk movement is kind of a reaction to the hippies and you hear that down in the streets what was that yes he does do like he does some amazing things with his voice like he made he makes sounds that

[56:35]other people couldn't make i mean it's just so like pared down it's kind of this like sludgy groove that i you know matt matt always often talks about the origins of grunge this probably isn't one necessarily but it seems like the right kind of tempo for grunge i can hear the velvet underground influence too i think it allows a lot of young musicians to feel like they're playing real songs early in

[57:07]their lives and so with like the grunge scene you know coming out of like the early 80s into the late 80s there would have been a lot of people that listened to a lot of stooges albums right and kind of used that as an example of what grunge was like in the early 80s and early 2000s you know so i think that's kind of what grunge is and i think that's kind of the reason why i use this as a base for what they've just learning the guitar it seems like to me and i have nothing to base that off of but i but i think that's that's what i hear next up loose

[57:31]now you might be thinking am i playing the same song as the last one no this is a new song the lyrics on this were pretty bizarre oh no wait listen to this see what what this is about it could be about anything you know what is it hmm yeah yes yeah and they're like well it could be about uh heroin use or sex and i was like oh yeah oh we figured out that last part there einstein nice work

[58:03]it's truly genius.com i heard that baseline and kind of thought of in a god of davida if you play it back a little bit you're right so good russell yeah that's great because i i listen to this i i don't know i don't know if i would have said punk necessarily i don't think they're that far from psychedelic rock uh like i think they're like cousins of the doors in some way maybe uh so for me

[58:33]velvet underground you can yeah velvet underground well you know their name was their name was originally the psychedelic stooges and what a show that would be if the three stooges took acid i think it would look and sound a little something like this guys russell's got yet another date in the crowd we've got to put on the best show ever okay not like that time we did one during christmas and the date got so mad okay hey uh larry come help me with this ladder

[59:01]that ladder has trolls on for rungs i can't do that but maybe if the troll would let me grab on i could climb up a little bit what is going on are we doing acid or what we're doing an improvisational show about the psychedelic stooges russell you're in the audience the rungs of the ladder are trolls okay aaron a little aside from our show russell just said let's what's going on and he's come to so many of these shows he doesn't understand what an improv show is that seems kind of strange to me

[59:31]that he doesn't pick up on what's doing okay let's keep going let's keep going maybe his current date should ask him what he's been doing during those other improv shows he was at with other dates maybe he wasn't watching the show maybe she's honestly no no babe babe i don't bring other dates here just relax it's fine yes and let's make out uh hey hey larry uh help me with this piano that we're gonna push up a ramp yeah you're larry i'm larry yeah yeah you're larry because all i can think of us pushing something up a ramp

[60:02]is the rube goldberg and this is a wedge and we're going up and how we're using it as a simple machine wasn't it archimedes that was pushing that ball up the ramp there who was the the greek tragic figure where the he pushed the ball off the ramp to screw or what poor guy oh yeah yeah oh hey it's our buddy sisyphus and he's on acid too wow he's like the fourth stooge i keep pushing this ball up there no thanks was there a fourth stooge yeah right yeah look at hey it's our special guest at the

[60:31]psychedelic stooges it's james brown yeah i'm on angel dust yeah on the ones in fact get on all fours i'm robbing this place or whatever he was doing he was mad about something this is a great improv show i'm so pumped i came to the brave new workshop they've been here for 70 years and the stooges are at it again i'm so excited why do you have such a big erection and scene this crew will definitely be around for a 71st season this will not be a failure at all hey

[61:02]what's the deal with the zoom shows do you know how like everybody tries to talk at once and everybody starts with like can you hear me can you hear me come on oh man that's so crazy can i tell you guys the funniest part of the comedy show i went to the other night yes if it involves a glass toilet i'm going to tell you we've already done that bit so don't try to get back on there don't get that smoke it does involve liquid dripping so it's kind of close okay i'm just let me just do this real quick russell yeah a little warning for the

[61:30]next part of the podcast okay a little warning this is your warning page all right so this guy is a fist walker and he's not wearing any pants and there's no okay so beginning of the show it's like a 200 person it's like a 200 person theater so not a huge theater um and there's probably you know like eight rows of seats if you will something like that but in the very middle of the front right near the stage my date kind of elbows me before the show starts and she goes can you see that

[62:00]water dripping down from the ceiling oh so there's water dripping from the ceiling and she's just kind of looking at it she's like what the hell's going on so the person who comes out and introduces the show comes out and he goes and like he says something you know it welcomes everyone to the show and then he goes yeah and if you're also wondering why the fuck is there water dripping from the stage i'm pissed about it too so like they essentially just acknowledge right off the bat that there was water dripping from some fan in the ceiling and they didn't know how to stop and i thought it was great you know you say you're

[62:31]not a it wasn't a big theater well that's good because i'm not a big theater guy not a big theater guy he's just a little theater guy hello theater fan the music little theater guy little theater guy chicago who the phantom of the where i don't know any of these i'm not a big theater guy i'm a big not a big theater guy i don't know anything stage huh props what are the tvi we're supposed to be quiet where oh well i'll just yell fire

[63:08]and see sweet now i've got something to get out of all my jokes this episode yes and seen and heard speaking of heard tvi is a favorite of many herds of people that went to see these concerts so i'm just going to tell you what tvi stands for apparently the the guitarist and the drummer of

[63:37]the stooges are brothers and sisters and i'm just going to tell you what tvi stands for brothers and apparently this sister if they saw a guy who was attractive said he had a twat vibe i'm not even going to say the word i cannot bring my i will not be recorded saying this word but that the guy had a twat vibe i'm seeing here and he's getting out his wordle he's typing it in and that's what tv and tvi stands for oh it's twat vibe that doesn't make any sense

[64:02]but i gotta admit if a girl told me that i had a twat vibe i'd be like that rules that's the best thing i've ever heard let me let me jot that down the next time i tell my date about one of the dates i'm rewinding after doing another one i like that song i i thought that was a that was a tvi i think is a fun one now next up no rob could you jump to the very beginning of the one thing i noticed at the very beginning aaron you kind of mentioned the way he's using his voice he's kind of grunting he's screaming through the whole thing he's got the beginning of this song rob oh

[64:35]that's a pretty great that's yeah that's awesome that's like that is a pretty great scream is it yeah yeah that's like all-time great stuff play a song like oh i guys but i'm gonna go to the bathroom again it's awesome bro here's okay here's aaron aaron's like hey guys listen i'm having so much fun at this family get together i am just gonna go to the bathroom real quick uh aaron like okay i gotta kill time i'm gonna play some music while i'm in the bathroom what should i play everybody's like what is going on

[65:07]it's a jam it's a bob i heard that and you know like it's we've talked about the ubu ugly but useful and the way people use their way you singers use their voice but i thought we could maybe celebrate this a bit more by doing a list of the best screams ever in rock music i'm here for this oh this is gonna be fun i can't yes and i think that would be a good list

[65:34]for another other bit did it better now this one was a really tough one to wind down we've heard the who member with that csi miami screen oh my god that one was so good you had axel on welcome to the jungle acdc back in black robert plants got some janice joplin's got some james brown james brown has a ton of um vetters remember john lennon at the end of that song mother where he's just like

[66:01]wailing at the end there's so many of them ozzy osbourne crazy train so it was hard to cut it down but the one i thought we could start with we were talking about this musician the other day this is from 1958 this is little richard good golly miss molly he's he was so good russell that's great i love to have some little richard on our on our podcast i

[66:30]was gonna ask rob i was reading that his that song contains a lot of innuendo including the phrase to ball what does sure like to ball mean rob uh it's sexual intercourse russell oh and i can tell if you're married that does not that is not a term for sexual intercourse it's never like hey let's go ball like it's uh little richard famously uh was you know he was uh having sex with anyone anywhere uh in peter goronlik's book uh dream boogie which is about uh sam cook he documents

[67:02]that little richard carried a bible with him everywhere on tour and he was always in his bible making notes you know he was into his and people thought he was really into the scripture making notes in the scripture turns out he was writing about his sexual conquests and their their preferences and what they liked and that's what he was doing in his bible when they were having breaks uh between sets on tour i've heard about john 316 but john's yeah there's something there no that's about right an interesting thing i noted on little richard is iggy pop actually

[67:32]talked about how he was really influenced by 50s rock and roll and he had a dream of being little richard just for a minute and when little richard died a few years ago he tweeted dear little richard thank you rest in peace love it isn't that like your brother's nickname too rosie why did you call him little rich why little why did you call him little rich i think we did the same exact joke two episodes ago guys two episodes i love how i love how rob is slapping matt down for repeating jokes as if he's never repeated a joke on the podcast

[68:02]did i ever tell you guys about uh balls in a toilet okay it's a good one just like a little richard it's an oldie next up on the list this is one of beck did a better's favorite artists this is wilson pickett land of a thousand dances from 1966 this scream is crazy how can you even do that i don't know no idea it sounds just like a saxophone what

[68:30]does this song remind you guys of does this remind you of any movie at all animal house no great outdoors oh great outdoors amazing they're all dancing to it and it's hilarious that's so good i mean how would you do that you just be in theater just go wow that's pretty good rob thank you that was really good and my apartment neighbors are so happy i was reading we've talked about jerry wexler before i think he worked with aretha if i remember correctly is that right yeah yeah aretha otis yeah but one thing he did say about uh wilson pickett you guys had mentioned

[69:04]james brown as being one of the greatest screamers ever and what he said was that james brown would scream and it was a scream but wilson pickett would scream notes his voice was powerful like a buzzsaw but it wasn't ever out of control it was always melodic i was wondering what you thought of that aaron i think that's probably true i think wilson was um i think his career would have been longer he was famously difficult to work with but uh he had a very unique way of i mean we just heard it right he could do a thing

[69:30]that amazing another person couldn't do with their voice okay what if what if wilson the volleyball from castaway was wilson pickett i think it would sound a little something like this wilson wow and scene and scene a one-man next up on the list was from two years later 1968 i heard that man that was so good this is uh we've heard the beatles scream on helter skelter it's one of matt's favorite

[70:00]beatles from that white album but this is actually revolution check out the scream at the beginning it's fuzzed out guitar too that is as good as it gets that's as good as it gets that actually that was actually the song that george washington played and got him fired up so a lot of people don't know when he forged the river and the british were like is this ironic or what guys i mean talk about a british invasion

[70:33]i mean this is literal don't you think hey dude check out this hat you know how hats have four corners check this shit out so i got three bro i don't know if you guys knew this but i i read that john lennon wanted his vocals to have a really an unusual sound on that so he recorded that song while he was lying on his back and then they they double tracked his scream isn't that interesting it's very interesting rob do you have thoughts about that technique yeah

[71:01]i did not see that you got your back and then it's double tracked double track sounds like a drake relays i don't know sounds like somebody who really loves the drake relays and it's strong oh all right next up on the list is from 1973 this is the debut album from aerosmith this is dream on oh wow yeah

[71:30]yeah he's gonna nail it here isn't he he's doing what you were talking about with wilson pickett he's doing a long melody in that scream register i i was my mind was blown when i was younger and i realized that was aerosmith right me too i read that he was actually nicknamed the demon of screaming rob have you ever seen any movies called the demon of screaming i'm not gonna make the joke demon of screaming

[72:05]if that's what you think i'm gonna do like like it's grease like it's grease and it's like i'm gonna make all these chicks cream satan no i have to i'm the demon all right so that was on the aerosmith album aerosmith 1973 self-taught other songs i don't i don't know if i can tell you the stooges album i don't know if i can say so make it somebody dream on we've got that one one way street

[72:31]mama kin write me a letter move moving out yeah now walking the dog you know so i don't know so that one was that album used to be on the top now now it's out and now the only album by aerosmith um is rocks which came out in 1976 when i was looking at that one i realized the only time we've ever talked about aerosmith is when rob did the breakdown of crazy versus crying you guys remember that oh yeah we had a thorough discussion yes uh i just want to

[73:05]say i also talked about amazing in that video the video those i'm gonna tell you again go back and watch those videos they're mind-blowing and will also make you want to become the demon of cream and for sure standing up for landa not standing i mean guys i'm telling you again standing up forget about it that is a i mean you get done and like you're like why are my calves

[73:33]sore you know what i mean like my calves are sore i'm like why are my calves sore i'm like why are my calves should be sore maybe a hamstring you can come out your family's like you're sweatier than when you went into the shower this is so weird hey can you open this bottle for me my right arm is so tired it's my sisyphean ordeal guys i'm that's you know that's what i gotta do pushing that boulder up well if if rob comes out of the bathroom you don't want to ask him

[74:01]about his monkey wrench oh and that's the last time on the list this is the foo fighters monkey wrench from 1997. check out the girl and here it comes the big scream here at the end what this is all screams oh wait for it it's a big one it's rocks here it comes jeez that is insane yeah that might be the best

[74:34]song that's so good man and so i think i think this whole album this was right after kurt cobain died i think the whole thing all instrumentals all everything was done by um our buddy what's the guy dave grohl dave grohl yeah everything was done by him is kind of even before he got a band this is a cathartic experience it's so good that guy i'm not gonna get sad on this podcast but i like dave grohl's been through some shit yeah it's true he is out there

[75:04]he is a wonderful person i hope i hope life goes easy for me for him he's got a book out rosie do you know he's got a book out oh i didn't know that i'm gonna have to read it yeah about halfway through it okay okay we're having fun and aaron said that under the sound effect so i'm not gonna be able to cut that out like that's i kept it pretty positive i kept it pretty positive it's like you know there's always a way to honor to honor some people too i was reading aaron had played all the instruments on that but actually in the video it was the first foo fighters music

[75:33]video that featured taylor hawkins who just passed away a few weeks back i love it russell thank you and and and actually before he played with nirvana he was in a band called scream matt i don't know if you've ever heard of that band but dave grohl was with them and he was actually on tour and he got a knock on the bus store one day and it was iggy pop he pops that i need a drummer so he rehearsed with iggy pop for two hours and then they went and played a set uh live so dave grohl played with

[76:00]iggy pop before he ever joined nirvana i thought that was pretty cool too outstanding did you guys ever hear did you guys ever hear that's a top five list easy did you ever hear uh screams big hit it went would you like to play a game wait no shit i thought that was cream's big hit no that's jigsaw fuck i don't even know what they say in scream they're like i think it's the calls and i think we've i think we've talked about this too but taylor hawkins who who who was he on tour drumming with before he alannis alannis

[76:30]yes alannis morris and you know that's how iggy iggy pop started as a drummer too and he said he got tired of looking at people's butts so he's like i'm gonna be a front man he's like look at my butt take my shirt and everything else yeah all right great list russell great list we did dirt what do we do dirt dirt is next dirt yeah obviously they listen to some blues right yeah totally it sounds like 400 wait isn't this the bass line from 100 a bad sign

[77:03]oh i'm sure it's close it's really close to the bass line from if you like that song good news it's seven minutes long i did like that about it so it's what i love about this album i don't love all of the album but i love that it's a 36 minute album but the songs are long i love that it's like it's very 70s which is very punk right totally yeah yeah yeah it's it's it's great because in the stooges documentary iggy goes yeah on the first album i love the first three minutes of every song it sounded so

[77:33]so good and then when we do the improvisational stuff i was like yeah i don't know if i like listening to it so much after minute six he's like but i never said anything like why you never said anything like a fourth of the deal here do you guys know who one of the producers on this song was his name was dan don galucci have you ever heard of him before no the galooch is loose the don the luch is loose it's um don don danucci now wait a minute don galucci he actually played he was the guy he was uh he played the

[78:03]the keyboard on the kingsman's version of louie louie no he was the keyboard player on that but he couldn't go on tour with the band because when they recorded that song he was only 16 years old so that he recorded this song and then he couldn't go on tour with him because he wasn't old enough to do it incredible can you imagine going on tour with the kings with the kingsman being like okay it's time to play something that's not louis louis and everybody's like booze shut the fuck up they're like

[78:31]dan dan dan dan how do you think they decided to go with the name of the kingsman instead of the cocks rob did they have to get permission or not it's a biblical name yeah exactly kings uh all right let's do oh 1970 i think it's interesting when you think about this the punk right is really a rejection of everything that's hippie and so he writes this song called seven 1970 and it's the most upbeat like positive song if you look at the lyrics because he's basically saying like hey the

[79:03]60s have got to be better than the 60s these suck i think this is the song that has the saxophone on it out of nowhere and it just feels way out of place oh you guys hear the saxophone what do you think of that well here if you want this sax player listen to this in the beginning of funhouse the next song he yells at the saxophone player to start playing here's that sax for us to listen to this it just feels so out of place

[79:31]it felt out of place and i loved it like i mean the saxophone is my favorite part of this album i was like great let's let's hear some saxophone i loved it and it yeah but you know it's just it's such a it's such a it's a companion in a way to what was going on with funk like early funk at the time like they were definitely listening to that and being influenced by it i think it's great oh so i mean you can hear james brown i think in this part of it which is i think so it's a strange juxtaposition right of like punk and james brown but i don't think they're as disciplined as a funk band but i mean

[80:02]they're you know it's cool but if you're i don't think you can find if they screwed up i think you're right here and he's not going and if you say they're a great live band i mean having that saxophone out on a smaller stage or whatever like that i could see this being just an awesome live show so i get right you know so i get why they would probably have it in there and probably put a whole bunch of improvisations in there and have these long ass songs hey mo we gotta get the saxophone over to iggy pop's house

[80:30]uh yes you guys are so bad at and it's gonna take us okay yes and then what's the next part and he moved his house underground so we're gonna have to find a way to get down there to get the saxophone to him whoa whoa whoa i'm on acid it's me james brown remember me i'm an angel disc look at my hair all right antsy la blues the notes for this one i just wrote what

[81:00]the fuck hard pass i can't hear you the music's too loud there's a reference to la here another one of our famous artists who is actually from la is back and it turns out he was actually inspired by the stooges to some extent and he wrote a song you guys might know this song it's called nausea you guys remember this song how many fucking songs does this

[81:32]guy's on a song came on from odelay the other day and i listened to that whole album again back we did a good thing by naming our podcast after back i read that back actually wanted this to sound he he added percussion to it but he wanted it to sound like it was the stooges playing in south america so that's what that song was inspired by the stooges in south america so i don't know when it comes to being inspired by the

[82:02]who are we listening to the stooges inspired by the stooges who did it better beck did it better that's better that's good it's a good thing we didn't call the podcast what i wanted to call it the psychedelic stooges because then every week we'd be like yes i'm trying to think and nothing's happening because i'm a mesclun all right let's get into the popular and patented rating system and now it's time for

[82:32]everybody's favorite part of the show the end and very popular beck did it better rating system listen here's the deal this album is 94 on the list we guys we're gonna get to 100 and we're gonna do nothing special for it whatsoever that's my promise to you we will not have a fun 100th episode blowout this is 94 okay should this be at 100 or should it be at 94 if you think

[83:00]it's perfect at 94 that's a rolling much like iggy pop with his shirt off well toned always jealous the guy had he's very toned he's got a great body yeah he's it's great is this should this have been higher up on the list it shouldn't have been this low this would be a rolling bone also iggy pop's body somehow at the same time is also a rolling bone see a lot of his bones uh or is this should have been higher than 100 okay and i know what you're thinking oh higher that kind of sounds like the psychedelic stooges and i think that would sound a little something like this uh hey

[83:31]mo i'm an attorney for menards i work a lot of overtime and that's a deep joke that's a deep i'm gonna sell you some knives instead don't get stabbed i don't think i even made that sound actually i don't think at any time the stooges said don't get stabbed like getting bonked and getting poked in the eye getting bonked in the head listen man this is at some point we're just everything's a good idea this

[84:01]is improv there's no bad ideas you can do the safe space oh my god mo you see this knife it's up to the handle in my lungs i feel like i'm gonna die like i think a stooge getting stabbed would actually be quite sad like it's gonna take you out of the moment for sure getting hit with a hammer that's fine getting stabbed in the arm oh hey mo i got an ingrown toenail all right and that is a rolling groan if you want to go back to where i didn't edit some stuff out so what do you guys think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown matt what do you

[84:31]think i am sure that this band was awesome live i just don't think it translates to an album very well uh so for that reason i'll just keep it short and sweet just say at 94 i think this is rolling grown should be probably a lot further down the list for me uh russell what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown i thought there were some interesting parts of the album there were some parts i could get into remember that bass line that sounded like in a god of debita i like that part i like the screaming i like the way the guy used his

[85:01]voicing he popped but it wasn't my favorite album i won't come back to it i read that there was an article on rolling stone um by henry rollins who called this the perfect album and he wrote an article how the how funhouse changed his life and part of me was thinking like if henry rollins is the biggest celebrity you can get to write a write a note to an album then the album's not that great so i'm going to say it's rolling grown it should be lower on the list are you talking about henry rollins from the movie demolition man i believe it's also henry rollins who had like four scenes in the show

[85:31]the show sons of anarchy so i think that's what i know on this yeah but that doesn't have the fast food wars which is a very real thing i think about often uh when i'm sitting on the toilet backwards uh oh guys full circle this is a perfect game we did it we wanted that perfect i'm stabbed uh rosie what do you think rolling well-toned rolling bone or rolling grown yeah first time through this album i hated it didn't want to listen to it ever again i went through it a couple more times actually really enjoyed it i love what iggy pop does with his voice i like the kind of chunky

[86:01]slow grooves that they come up with i love the saxophone but i hope we hear a lot better music in the next 404 albums so i'm going to call it a rolling groan guys you're incorrect this was a rolling aggression aggression yeah there's not a word spoken there is not a a noise that iggy pop makes where he's not trying to convey an emotion to you there's no wasted lyrics on this like every noise he makes it just gives you a feeling and whether or not you want to hear the feeling it's

[86:30]there like he's very clear they had a this is a band who had a clear idea of what they wanted they executed it and guess what if you don't like it maybe you're just too old oh oh by the way matt didn't come to speaking of old man didn't come to my birthday party this weekend all right next up in an album that reminded me of cohagan in the film total recall what yeah because it's take air by drake cole hagen you'll have what you want and they'll give the people

[87:00]to air when you want to hear about the greatest albums of all time zero laughs i'm looking at three totally blank faces that's because it's drink believe you'll have a drink we should just move on and get to taylor swift and lucinda williams and metallica and rem i'm stoked for that listen to williams though there's a total lunar eclipse right now did you guys know this there's a total lunar eclipse happening right now right now yeah right now you're we're missing the lunar eclipse we've got six minutes still total lunar are you serious wait a minute

[87:30]i am serious are you serious clark if you guys if you guys flip through the adult magazine that rob sent you you're gonna see that the pages says warning warning on the next page is archimedes the adult version greek mathematician physicist engineer astronomer and the demon of screaming warning demon of creaming oh

[88:00]i put my balls in the tub it overflows oh there's a deep archimedes reference also the name of the porn magazine starring archimedes you're done oh i think we're done yeah i think that's perhaps permanently all right
