[5:00]Us minimum wage as long as we get tips right unionized looking into that after the in the Post game show oh no oh god i can't wait okay let's see how do i turn this computer off right After this podcast all right let's get in guys we've got two separate texts oh to the back okay How do you text the becks line 802 277 back you can text the back line we've got a couple now I can you can write in anything and have a Celebrity say it see if you guys can guess who the celebrity is okay everyone kck's from here Just wanted to tell you that russ has a normal size penis see what i mean like you can get these Guys anything listen to this one see if you can tell these are not back these are just ones i did On my own time today school needs to start i have so much free time everyone joe buck here what i Saw on the field was disgusting it was russ's penis see what i mean like it's so good all right Let's get into the best i've Got to show you guys this one also comes with a picture so i might have to explain it to you

[6:00]After he says it here look what i found a picture of a film's pubic lice okay so that was a quick One saying that was kendrick telling us that somebody and somebody took the time to text us They said now we did get a lot of text saying hashtag pubic lice i don't remember why people Were supposed to say hashtag pubic lice to us it was very it was to prove that they to prove that They listened to the end of an episode you were supposed to give them a dollar oh then i got less Than i would have expected actually if that's how many people are listening to the end of the Episode guys we can coast toward the end let's just put it that way i can stop editing by the End but they did send me this picture can you see the screen it's little plastic crabs and they're Called jazz crabs and they're all playing their own little instruments so you have a crab with Like a little saxophone you have a trap crab with this little drum kit and stuff like that yeah so Somebody found a picture of crabs playing jazz and said those are aaron's pubic lice so aaron Aaron has your pubic lice gone away yet if i had them they'd probably be playing jazz in my In my room i don't know if they're going to be playing jazz in my room i don't know if they're In my dreams so i like that i appreciate that listener for i love how rob's just decided to

[7:00]Double down on this topic a few weeks ago this was in an email and hey this should probably be Taken out but instead of avoiding it rob's doubling back and he's just harder it's really Become a kind of a colloquialism just to call them crabs but i always prefer the term pubic lice i Think that's most more visceral when i taught stds in my class i'd be like i'd say pubic lice because I thought it was so great because crabs are kind of cute right it's like a tiny crab you could think That cute but like a pubic lice seems like a little more menacing i mean people eat like Crab legs right as many as they can right they're so tiny i can barely get These legs off this is one that both criticized me and puts aaron on blast oh what rob's bbq takes Are absolutely abhorrent let's not bury the lead but also it should be noted that aaron once took Me out for bbq tofu and vegan mac and cheese in oakland hashtag aaron's pubic lice all right so That message Let's break this down into two parts number one i haven't been thinking about this obsessively

[8:00]For the last three weeks my bbq takes really truly are abhorrent yeah it was bad yeah i said That you're there for the sauce that's all that matters and i realized you know what my favorite Bbq really is what pulled pork i love it that means you're not you have nothing to Say on the matter right now it is it's it's like what's that equivalent of like you going to a Some people would say like you're getting a steak and saying i want a medium well kind of you know Like some of the steak snobs yeah i dropped that girl fast when she pulled that stunt No i'm not paying for this overcooked meat or like what's your favorite album sergeant peppers you Know what i mean like it just you're gonna be a little more thoughtful okay so if i'm showing off Barbecue wise what do i order it's is it brisket that's the only thing that makes me a true barbecue I think that's the only thing you can go with no the only thing is to know the specialty of the House because there are places that would spend i'm This is the same comments i made before there are places that would specialize In pulled pork and so the only thing is to know what the place does well and whatever is on the

[9:00]Chalkboard whatever i love on the special of the day yes i love barbecue sauce i cannot help it And you know what i'm gonna take a brave stand and say i'm right with my barbecue sauce steak i Think a good barbecue sauce i can't do it sorry guys i'm trying this weekend i was at the spa And the fries i got i did put mayo and ketchup together and i thought somebody was like oh It's true i'm classy i'm a classy guy you got french fries at the spa well don't that's my Rolling going i cannot answer any follow-up questions about french fries at the spa that Is my rolling going i don't want to give it away but okay and now everybody's waiting on i can't Wait to hear more about your french fries at your spa actually now you have me on the edge of my seat That is kind of the whole story now that you say it like that this bexter is someone who's a Vegan barbecue and i will say if you're talking about barbecue tofu rob it really is all about

[10:00]The sauce because there's only so much you can do with tofu so then the sauce really matters so So was this person a vegan aaron that you took out no or you just didn't want to be Their friend anymore no i just there's a great there's a great trying to push them away is this Like trying to get them to stop coming out to oakland visit my house is so small black owned Vegan restaurants are a real thing they're Black and brown on vegan eateries are a real thing they're trying to Expand food horizons around the world and so there are several of them in oakland i like to Frequent them because i don't turn this on us like you're like we're the shitheads do not do that Vegan barbecues are fine if i went out and visited you and you took me to one i would never forgive You okay unless i was a vegan you would like it i i do think this is like a breakup move like If i was going out with a girl and i didn't want to see Her anymore and i didn't have the guts to just say hey this isn't working for me i'd start taking

[11:00]Her to barbecue vegan restaurants and then she would have to break up with me it's a great It's next door to a beautiful beer place with a nice patio you order your beer Delicious i'll need it all day any day it's in the same state as an in and out what does it have To do with anything like who cares if i went to a place and it was like okay you get to pick between The tofu and the vegan mac and cheese which is what probably like almond cheese on there or Something right some nut Yeah cashew cheese yeah cashew outside i'm not having that okay i'm not eating anything that Has nut cheese on it no thanks i'm in for it anytime i would eat the vegan barbecue all day Okay so the next day i would eat animal barbecue because i'm i'm that i contain multitudes and Which one tastes better the animal one the animal why even why not just go to animal Barbecue twice because it's not next door to the beer place and listen there is not i mean there's Recently now some really good you know carnivore barbecue in oakland there was not at the time there

[12:00]Was not great carnivore barbecue around so i just don't get have we talked about this before about Like the fake meat at burger king like was there a huge demand for fake for like vegetarians to go Get a whopper i think there is though i think if you're a vegetarian or vegan traveling and i've Always and i've said this and i've said this for years and i'll still say it they're right Vegetarians and vegans when we look back in 50 years we're going to look like The same way we look back at like doctors using leeches when they talk about us eating meat Because pretty soon it's going to be like lab grown meat it's going to be just fine it's not Going to hurt the animals i'm here for it i love it i i think being a vegan or vegetarian is correct And i do think that if you're a vegan or vegetarian and you're going out with your Friends and they're going to burger king it's really nice to have an option that's not like Lettuce with ketchup on it like i i'm totally down with those that fake meat stuff i think it's great If aaron took me to a vegan barbecue and i am not a vegan i would be so fucking mad I mean it's it's it's i just it's it makes no sense to me it's like it's just it was right

[13:00]Next door to be revolution you can sit on the patio they bring your vegan barbecue over it's Tasty i mean aaron thinks his house is nice because he's next door to a really nice house He's like our house is so great next door the biggest house oh my god it's so awesome Rob i gotta know are you more minnesota would you be minnesota nice about this or would you Be new york up front about it if aaron you went out to visit aaron in oakland you talked to Who you've never met because you weren't invited to his wedding and they decided to take you to a Vegan barbecue place would you say something or be like i don't want to go there would you just go And act like it was super good i would happily go to a vegan place i wouldn't say I would be i would say this is so good and then when i got on this podcast i would drag aaron's Happy meal ass up and down main street for an hour and talk about what a shit show was of all The places to go eat in the bay area and aaron takes me to a vegan barbecue which just sounds Like a joke It sounds like a prank show like oh let's go to the vegan barbecue ha ha ha you know it's it's

[14:00]It's delicious danny glover eats vegan barbecue right here in oakland is this solely is this Solely vegan is that what you're talking about there you go matt knows matt's looking it up Solely vegan is the one so you know so the whole argument is that it's right next to this Beer place right so we've got the national giant hamburgers and great pies which is right next to The vegan place wait a minute wait a minute japanese sushi wait man what was that Name again the first place nation's giant okay burgers and great pies okay so why would you go Anywhere else that place sounds like a fucking rock japanese sushi right next door we've got Mosaic greek and turkish fast food next door across the street we've got buttercup this sounds Like a night what is this i think buttercup is a place where people go to meet hookers if i T-bone steak and eggs turkey patty and egg oh my belgian waffles biscuits and gravy Wait this is right across the street from the beer place but they don't bring it right to you You can sit right on the patio at beer rev and they bring you i mean i haven't been there for

[15:00]Like six years the only time i can say the only time on this podcast for matt gets aggravated With erin is when he goes to bad restaurants that wakes matt it sets matt right off yes You can't say vegan is good i'm not i i stand by it i mean i haven't been there for a long time but Can you imagine you're you're eating fucking barbecue tofu and dandelion greens or whatever Right with like a little bit of sauce on there yeah and you look over and the place next to you Is having giant hamburgers and pie and you'd be like you'd be like it'd be like when everyone Else is out having fun and you're stuck inside like sweeping it'd be a real cinderella moment You're stuck with erin and you just realize like oh fuck i i would rather listen to this album for A whole year than be stuck watching somebody eat giant burger and pie two foods by the way i don't Think go together like i don't think anyone's ever had a burger that been like i'm wondering If it's burgers and pizza pies let me look it up oh no it's pie It's definitely a sweet pie it's like sweet pie it is it's pie yeah they've got what kind of pie Do you think goes with a burger maybe pumpkin a savory potato people don't people go to diners

[16:00]And get a cherry pie burger and then pie at the end or something no you can't have a burger and Then pie that's that's no good burger gets followed up with ice cream or something there's It's pie is not the dessert you can't just go to ice cream every time rob you brought this up Numerous times in a row where you don't like desserts and then you just go right to ice cream Every time and every time i have ice cream i'm like This is so good and i'm so lactose intolerant it's worth it i saw a thing on tiktok where somebody Took a brioche bun put a scoop of ice cream in it and then put it in a waffle maker and i woke my Wife up and i showed her she was so mad at me but it was worth it because i was like hey there's a Chance get that waffle maker out let's put some ice cream sandwiches on there all right let's get Into everybody's favorite segment rolling going matt's still looking at the map matt everybody's Segment not talking about the band You know honestly i swear i trust aaron i would let him take me out but you just know like

[17:00]Oh i'm in for a real shit show like i would if i was visiting aaron i would have some sliders like In a bag in my pocket that's wise and i just take them out and kind of nibble on them be like solely Vegan has probably been usurped by the vegan mob as the preeminent vegan barbecue place in oakland Vegan mob is the place danny govler danny glover likes rigs Rigs i'm getting too old for this shrimp I want some satan rigs I better stop before i go off you would have to watch that rob your cholesterol might get Dangerously low if you went out with aaron for too long be like every heartbeat is moving this Blood so well i don't get lightheaded when i stand up or sit down this is crazy All right rolling going aaron rolling going how's it going with you oh it's going great Thank you took a vacation last week with the family we went to washington state to the san juan Island good idea to fly during covet i don't know but we did it anyway two things while we were gone

[22:00]There's actually a lot of emojis that are used in dating apps and a lot of them have these Meanings that you don't like i've had to look up numerous times what does x emoji mean or what Does x emoji mean there's a lot of x language what is the red stop sign what does this mean When they send me a picture of a police and then a pregnant woman And a bunch of money signs yeah what does it mean when it just says russ and then santa Claus and then the eggplant and then a smiley face in the spurt i shouldn't say spurt i'm sorry I said spurt on the show no more saying spurt officially no more saying spurt thank you So russell what were you saying what's your what's what are you saying with emojis I was just asking you think emojis are a good move to be texting as a One-year-old man or is it emojis so we're gonna see emojis and be like what is this i'm out well The problem is you've got everybody who's over the age of about 66 67 who doesn't use exclamation

[23:00]Marks or doesn't have any sort of you don't know what their texts are supposed To be so my mom sent her a text like hey you know can you come over do the laundry and she just Sends sure you know and it's like hey you know i don't know sometimes maybe she's excited to come You know long search but i think with the emojis you finally you've gotten rid of that you Know like what does this text mean kind of a thing yeah you know they're smiley faces or sad faces or You know things like that which has helped out the communication that's true you can do tone With emojis matt that's really smart speaking of text from the older generation can i share A text i got from my aunt recently okay sure you guys give terrible dating advice and so my Aunt tried to give me terrible dating advice too and i wanted to see what you guys would think of The show so so i get this text from my aunt and she's looking out for us doing very kind very Thoughtful but she sent this and i was like this seems like a bad idea but i wanted to see what you Guys thought she says we'll just call this person sarah that she's talking about or i better not use

[24:00]Sarah that's matt's wife's name we'll call her okay let's go rob we'll call her stephanie janice All right janice text says in all lowercase letters of course there's no caps no emojis nothing Janice at the hair salon is available she's turning 40 in the spring never married no children Tall slender very nice looking and blonde lives by herself in city you could check her out by Getting a haircut all spring for it so my aunt essentially told me you should go into this hair Salon and get a haircut to check out this person who my aunt found out is single i did i told you That i had a super attractive hairstylist when i lived in vermont uh- and i would go Because she'd sit there she would she's forced to talk to me she touches me and like rubs my head And then at the end she's like you look so good and i'm like this is the greatest date Ever so so she tells me about this hairstylist who's single i don't know i don't

[25:00]Know where this comes from but then the next text again all lowercase no punctuation this one says But use an alias so she's like go in there but don't act like you're my nephew because she Obviously told her The stylist about me i think whoa and then she says she's also a hawkeye fan but how is this Supposed to work this is what i said matt i responded i'm like this is a great text why do I need to use an alias and i say question mark exclamation mark question mark like why do i need To use an alias you're wondering but you're also yelling yes and then she says no just Wait until the end of the haircut and if you like her fess up and tell her that i made you come in Relationship off by lying right away and then two minutes later she changes her mind and says Actually no you better use your name i showed you a picture of you she'll know it's you That would be the equivalent of like wearing a ski mask and then like chasing her to the car

[26:00]And then at the end take it off the mask be like i'm just russ it's me i was lying before i'm not Actually i don't want your purse i actually want to go out with you like you can't start the day By lying about a haircut so i wanted to see what do you guys think is that great a advice Or is that a barbecue vegan advice A scale of barbecue vegan to yeah brisket i'll give that yeah some fried tofu with a little Bit of hot sauce on the side yeah i would love to get a free haircut but the idea That you're going in like as a date but only one of you knows it's a date that seems fraught with Danger and then you pop out of the cake like it's me it's us that's like that literally is a step You know my aunt she told me yeah it's a step above like being in her bushes outside of her House i mean like this date is going very well for one of us and then the best would be when at The end because my aunt offered to pay for it my aunt would have to come in and pay for the haircut

[27:00]So at least i wouldn't have to pay for that date right oh my god she's gonna be there at the end Like your aunt is gonna physically come in the store at the end and be like don't worry russell I've got this would your aunt show up russ would she be sitting on the parking lot like with Binoculars looking in to see how it's going I'm not aware it seems like a a way to make the plan go even better that it's right when she says She's gonna pay for it is that she's gonna like give you cash and then you get to pay for it or She's gonna show up at the end of the haircut and be like i'm here to pay for russell's haircut Because i think both are excellent well if she's reimbursing me that doesn't sound so bad but if She did just stroll in and like paid for it while i stood there asking for pennies for the gumball Machine that wouldn't look very good it's too bad she doesn't know a prostitute because the same Thing could happen it could be way more fun Instead all you're good is a haircut Scalp massage yeah other professions she could hook you up with yeah i mean you'd still have The apron and the chair but you know the rest would be very different and the hot cream

[28:00]Can i put this hot shaving cream on the back of your neck please it would be a date though Where they would be guaranteed not to walk out probably halfway through It's a bad sign when you're Like i have to go to the bathroom and you see him driving away in the car and then you're like wait A minute oh no you only got half a haircut yeah what do you do yeah well they finished the haircut Like if i fessed up halfway through like i think it's going well i'm like hey it's me this person's Nephew russ and like is she just gonna finish the haircut be like oh what a fun date did i ever tell You guys about the super bad haircut i got in new orleans yeah i texted you guys about that do you Remember that yeah you still have now isn't it yeah not now because i grew it long because i was Hoping to grow a mullet for my next meet but that was the one where she shaved my back down Like a foot down and so it looked like i had a windshield wiper take off the hair on like the Middle part of my back that she could reach under my shirt it was wild did i tell the story on the

[29:00]Air wasn't there a cocktail involved so yeah so i went into i i love getting haircuts When i'm traveling it's one of my favorite things to do i think it's so fun but i went to new orleans And the lady was like oh okay well you can come back in a half hour and i'm just the secretary And then i said okay and she goes no just kidding on the hairstylist come on in what drink do you Want and i was like a hurricane yeah i was like i don't know why don't you just make me one Surprise me and she goes okay so she makes me a tequila and ginger ale And right away i should have been like okay this is a Problem this is a big time problem it's not good so she says and i think this might have been My other mistake she goes what haircut do you want and i said i don't know just surprise me Like i think it'll be fun did she pull out a book no so she goes okay and she whips me around so i'm Not facing the mirror oh she starts cutting my hair right so she's cutting my hair cutting my Hair cutting my hair and she's like got the razor blade out and she's doing the whole thing and it

[30:00]Turns out she gave me like a skin fade with a hard part which i really liked although My curly hair goes back in too much but then at the end of the day i'm like oh my god i'm Doing my eyebrows right and she had a razor out and she was doing my eyebrows and she laughed at A joke i said and then she goes oh no and i was like wait what do you mean oh no and one of my Eyebrows was like a half inch shorter than the other one so it permanently looked like i was Questioning what everybody said i was like oh really i will never forget this photo i Remember ralph sending us the picture of this because i let up with like all these texts and I finally sent the picture it was a it was an absolute i actually i mean i look like i should Have been carrying torches in some parade somewhere but It it was a good look for me i thought so russell are you going to go through this Hairstylist date i don't know i think we got to get the plan a little more figured out I don't think i can go in and just do the surprise it's me nephew russ i think i have to have A better plan nephew russ is there any good surprise you get at a barber shop i don't think So i think any surprise at a barber any surprise the hairstyle place is very bad rolling going

[32:00]I i just i've got this theory that if you've been around For 20 years as a band and like still putting out albums yeah you know but like just around Number of 20 they've been around for 30 you know like you're just you're gonna put on a good show No matter what you do right i mean you're just you're professional musicians you've been around The block you know what's going on somehow you've got some staying power so i can't believe how great They were alive fallout boy i it's one of those things where i'm like what who that i don't know These people you know who they are anything like that but then i knew 80 of the songs when i was Unbelievable you know again whoever their lead singer is and i should have looked it up before The show but again i'm pretty darn tired tonight guys so i'm just not kind of mailing it in you Know but he he's he's got to be one of the up there for one of the best vocalists that's Out there right now i don't know rosie if you've ever heard of him or what he's got going yeah No he's good shit this is not gonna make for good podcasting material but he's done a

[33:00]Couple of guest spots with mine maybe with like 100 gecs or like one of these My brother's gonna call in again about this one but yeah i think his name is pete can't remember The last name but he's a great singer and yeah super great voice russell i'm just gonna Interrupt real quick russell what in right now when you're thinking of what 100 gecs is what Do you think that is just by context clues i want you to guess what 100 gecs is 100 gecs yeah i don't Know it could be a club it could be a podcast it could be a newsletter from a cult i have no idea What 100 gecs is it sounds like something i did my sophomore year of college i think on a dare I think they're an electronica band matt's looking it up now matt's gonna figure it out So now there is like on an album okay keep going man keep going but then green Day came up i couldn't wait to see green day and i was so excited to see green day but the whole Damn show was nothing but billy joe armstrong

[34:00]Whatever his name is just trying to pump the crowd up the whole time you know doing these Callbacks all the time can i hear you let me hear you know just that type of Stuff and if they would have just played their song it was over the top and i just want them To play their songs because when they play their songs they were so good but it was 90 of the in Between songs was him trying to get the crowd and he'd do this thing where he'd like stand back and Like you know like The hulk hogan like oh can i hear you and then he did this hand pump thing all the time and i'm Like what why does he need to do this he doesn't need to do this kind of a thing and so it just Absolutely turned me off i don't know russell you were there did you have any other takes on it My thoughts my kind of going through them from beginning to end i thought weezer was fantastic Too but i do think weezer had to be the opening act for that show i think the green day and Fallout boy they're so they're faster it's louder there's a different energy that comes out of it

[35:00]Came with them than weezer so i think weezer had to go first but i thought weezer was really good Fallout boy i had a lot of fun with like you were saying man i don't know their music but when they Started singing i'm like i know this song and they're fun songs to sing along with Too and that singer was the lead guy was really good but i had a ton of fun at green day man maybe I didn't notice all the callback stuff admittedly i did have a few cocktails that night so i was Probably like primed for enjoying green day excuse me do you have any red wine and hot chocolate Okay what about tan and gin and then put some maple syrup in there because i don't have any Simple syrup no i've got molasses for something tonight is it blackstrap molasses i'll have to Go get it i don't know no he's got to go heat it up please go eat it is one of my if i told the Story in the podcast about my celebrity sighting with green day that i ate dinner with them once I never told the story yeah you have once or twice yeah you're at the east bay california band and One night i was out for dinner with my wife and her family who happened to be visiting we were at

[36:00]This italian restaurant in berkeley sort of unassuming and there was a big long table set Up next to us like with its back to me we were like it was you know we were there eating dinner The table was empty and you know pretty soon it kind of starts to file in and i was like why Pretty sure that's like is it mike durst who's the basis for green dirt i was like i'm pretty Sure that's you know that might be the basis for green day pretty soon they're gonna another guy That you recognize that's crazy and then billy joe armstrong's Down green day was there with all of their families sitting within like back to back of me So they were and they were just like guys out for dinner with their family if you had a time machine I'm gonna ask you to do this okay and will you promise that you'll do this if you get a time Machine i will yeah i promise you get you go up to him you get your bottle of red or white or Whatever wine you have and you go excuse me do you guys have the time to listen To this wine see i should have texted you at the time rob i didn't i froze i don't know what to say They would love that the one realization i really had during the concert was

[37:00]Concerts are so much more fun than going to sporting events at sporting events you sit There you're waiting in between plays you're waiting in between timeouts your team's losing Half the time you're not having fun half the time when you go to a concert it is so much fun to watch People get into the music yeah to get into the music to have fun like there's never a part where You're like agonizing over i guess if you go to a bad concert or if you're not liking what they're Three hours of non-stop fun whereas if you go to a sporting event it's 50 50 whether you're even Gonna have a good time green day is sitting there in the restaurant a suddenly they see a sudden Electric flash and a machine appears and the door comes down and aaron steps out and says well i Guess now is when you come around well i'm jealous you guys are going to a concert you guys See each other say there's some sort of american idiot joke in there somewhere You made it that's it you made the joke russell rolling going how's it going with you

[38:00]Rolling going i had a fun weekend this weekend i actually went to aaron's hometown Of right next to ankeny essentially des moines iowa this weekend for a family gathering so i was In des moines the home of aaron and so i texted you guys a few pictures of my trip because we all Love text messaging yeah so i sent you guys a few pictures of my trip but every time we that's a Weird thing is that every time we send a text i was wondering why aaron would always go wow I thought he's responding to the what's in the message he's just responding to the text he's like Wow this is great we're like aaron i can't do a podcast record one of my kids is so sick and He's like wow can you believe this amazing well you'll like this one so the first one i did is i Went to the family reunion sat there made the small talk with everyone and then i left and i Decided i'm gonna stay in downtown des moines tonight just to see if i can find something fun And you can in downtown des moines any night of the week so i start walking down You can so i should have texted you that i guess but i started walking down kind of the main

[39:00]Street they had a couple blocks blocked off by all these bars and there was a kiss tribute Band playing in the middle of downtown des moines and it's funny i i texted aaron sent me a little Rosie's number so i could ask his brother little rosie where should i go in des moines because his Brother still lives in the area so little rosey call him little i don't know why they call him Little rosie i don't know why they call him little rosie i don't know why they call him little rosie Matt do you my brother is the unofficial mayor of des moines if you need to know something about Des moines he is your man but when i told him that a kiss tribute band was in des moines he said yes A kiss tribute band in downtown is very on brand for des moines so so wait a minute so so this is A band that plays kiss songs and they're all dressed up like kiss they're all dressed up like Gene simmons and all the band will get up on yeah is it like customized face paint or is one of Them the cat and one of them's a star and one of them's the yeah they all look like they were

[40:00]Supposed to look i at one point again i'd had a few drinks at this event too but what i started Me do any scrumptious baileys to put in this Cash only for that they said i started wondering wait is this a kiss tribute band or is this really Kiss because the drum says kiss it's not like their band is called something else But it's a band that's called something else Everything says kiss it looks like everything is set up as a kiss concert find out a kiss band That played in des moines we got to get the name of the band because if it's not like rock and roll All night or kissed that would be a good kiss tribute band name because usually these Bands play on some sort of song or something that you know you can identify the band as a Tribute band through that name but okay i'll look but that's great if the drum kit literally just Says kiss like yeah it did do you think it's like this podcast where it seemed like a great idea When they started and then like a little bit and you're really fucking sick of everybody else and

[41:00]Having to put on the makeup and do all that shit that's what i wanted to ask you guys is it's like Who the fuck are these guys like every day when they're in their apartment in des moines and They're like oh i've got to go put on my my gene simmons is that the main guy gene simmons is that Right yeah i gotta put on my whole gene simmons up up you know once a week for 52 weeks a year I've got to put on that get up it it kind of makes you wonder what the hell you're doing with your Life right yeah i don't know though but if you were in a kiss band and you were playing i want To rock and roll all night i don't know if you were in a kiss band and you were playing i want That song's a fucking jam like if you went nuts for it it was crazy it was awesome because it's Like yeah i do want to fucking rock and roll all night and i want to party every day okay And i want to do both those things and this band is telling me that i can do that i don't care if It's you know if it's my neighbor roy and i saw him get ready for this three hours early and then Have to take an uber and kiss makeup why are you watching your neighbor put his makeup on rob We're on a half date it's this thing that i learned about russell's aunt I watch people and say we're on a date and i don't tell them i don't But i don't know if this is a kiss song or is it ace fraley or who one of the band members

[42:00]It might be a solo song from one of them but the song i heard playing when i came up is my favorite Kiss song it's back in the new york groove you guys know that song no i don't know that one Yes man it was so good i enjoyed it so i saw a kiss tribute band and i thought it was super cool That's your favorite kiss song is back in the new york groove it's playing in the background it's Not a normal kiss song I mean oh god aaron gets a video on the text it's gonna blow his fucking mind This is the guy that texted us a picture of birds and said can you believe this and i realize now He's talking about the text yeah he didn't even think about the birds i took a picture on my phone I sent it to you get it on your phone all the way across the country that's incredible And you're like is this big or not and i was like well get a shampoo bottle i can tell you that like I don't know and then you use a travel size shampoo bottle that didn't help although think Travel size shampoo bottle your dog's gonna look huge russell have you done that's a great idea

[43:00]That's a lord of the ring shit that's what i'm talking about sex with my stuff next to a travel Size yes where it looks like a regular size bottle it's like shack holding like cans of soda you know Or is this big soda looks small travel size shampoo and then you're like oh what the fuck Oh my god i'm so smart matt did you find the name of the band it looks like the band is called The psycho circus which i think psycho circus was a It was an album yeah they must have gone to the kiss tribute band names late they didn't have they Couldn't get any of the good ones so i'm trying to find it looks like the band is trying they've got Job ad postings out there so you can work for the psycho circus but i can't find what the job Just is can you matt can you just look up some kiss cover band names and let's see which Come up with a top three list of his cover band i don't want that search history in my on my Computer You guys do that You guys do that You coward your work is gonna be like excuse me are you looking at kiss cover bands you're like

[44:00]Yeah and if i have to admit that oh man bad day so there were two musical experiences the second one Was as you guys know when i travel i gotta try to find a cool restaurant to check out And des moines could be no different i had to find a cool restaurant so i was searching For best brunch places in des moines and one spot kept popping up over and over in every search And it was this place called eggs and jam and it turns out This is a 90s hip-hop theme brunch spot no so all of the music is 90s hip-hop the wall is Is painted kind of like i don't know what would you say like a run dmc cover or something like Kind of like a graffiti art all over the walls and then each of the menu items whether It was a drink or the food had like a cool 90s hip-hop song name so i thought i could share some Of those dishes with you guys so you can check out the names now if you ask them how they got Some of the vegetables there would they say this is how we grew it yes you should get a job there

[45:00]Rob you can oh my god if you maybe wanted a late you wanted a late afternoon snack this is how We stew it oh man you eat stew for a snack yeah listen he's a hardy boy but what sorry kids Snack time to snack he just pulls out this hot pot his crock pot or you know if you're out If you're at the vegan spot and you want to get a beer next door this is how we brew it Coming in with the harmony there choose any number of vikings playoffs games and you could say this Is how they blew it yes that was to have to do with a restaurant that doesn't make sense here That's just hurtful what you said i'm just trying to get you wound up all right some of the things On the menu that we haven't touched on i'll start with the drinks one of the drinks that i got was Called the chronic mango pineapple vodka and pineapple cider and it was really Good no a mystical margarita if you're a margarita person you get a mystical margarita some other

[46:00]Things on the menu that were pretty cool names you can't touch this was egg rolls and chorizo Back that taco up they had breakfast tacos named back that taco yes they had a whole Section of the menu featuring sean puff daddy combs they had five items all about puff daddy They had bad boy diddy puffy sean combs they had all these things about puff daddy oh i thought There was going to be like breakfast food and his p gritties my family has been telling me about eggs And jam for so long and i've never been there i'm so jealous russell's been to eggs and jam and i have Not russell is a better iowan than i am the one that's gonna really make you mad aaron i didn't Get this but this was the coolest name on the menu the toast face killer oh yes that would have been Mine i would have had to order that no question that's what i have to order excuse me can i have Some extra cream cash rolls everything around me for my coffee can i get some nutmeg on there So i would highly i'm gonna heat up this wire and stick it up your ass tie you to the bedpost

[47:00]Oh is it not that part of the 90s hip hop my bad so i have to recommend if anyone does go through The state of iowa and they decide they need a cool brunch spot you have to check out eggs and jam it Was really cool it'd be tough because you'd also want to call it too legit to grit like for your Grits so you have a lot of options there with grits that's gonna be tough it was funny though Rob you'll laugh at this they actually ran out of potatoes i've never been to a brunch spot before And it was after i ordered and so it didn't impact me anyways but i've watched them go up to like Eight people after i was started eating or whatever and they were like the lady would just Go we're out of potatoes you have to choose between toast or fruit oh breakfast With no potatoes that's rough that's really rough and i was going to order the potato skins and juice That's pretty good i was like it's so hard of a potato i was gonna say i got potatoes in different Area codes g's up potatoes down i got potatoes yes i got i love the potatoes

[48:00]I want to think of a joke so bad it's gonna ruin whatever you guys are doing so i'm gonna skip it Okay going how's it going with you rob well i'll tell you what i was just it was just Jenny's birthday and i'm like i'm gonna skip it i'm gonna skip it i'm gonna skip it Okay this time she made her own cake okay and but oh god did she no i had my kids buy the Not store-bought no so i took her to a spa i got a spa day where we went and stayed at a Spa hotel overnight over in new jersey the other thing was is that this forced us to eat three Meals in the spa now this was a spa where you could not wear shoes and when you walked around You had to wear your robe and like a swimsuit underneath right so i went to various meals and One of the meals i ordered a spicy pizza yeah because this place is like five floors it's like This is the sauna floor this is the hot tub floor this is the infinity pool this is the

[49:00]You know the massage floor whatever if you're gonna have a spicy pizza and then go sit in a hot Tub you are a brave man am i a hero kind of yes okay it wasn't easy but i know i found out the Hard way that one of the worst parts of a spa with food in it is that when you're eating Pizza and you spill pizza sauce on your white robe there's absolutely nothing you can do about That and you stick out for the rest of the time as you're walking around as a guy with pizza sauce On his robe eating in a restaurant where you have a robe on and no shoes and everyone else is doing The same is so bizarre it's like being in your house but there's just tons of other people there It's it's it's it's crazy hey if this band we're covering were featured at that 90s Restaurant and the food wasn't very good the dish would be called the bland oh And when they clean up your table they bring over that rag mama rag or if it took too long

[50:00]They'd call it the weight not on this album unfortunately the other thing is being at a Spa by the way and you're walking around after being you just go sit in various hot tubs right And saunas you just hop from one to the other and like yep exactly and then i'd go They had a cold plunge so i'd have a sauna and then they had a seven foot deep pool that was Like 60 degrees that you'd jump into it was awesome did you sit in any hot tubs with other People or just with your oh yeah tons oh yeah no tons of other people it was just like everything Else around the new york city area i don't know always sitting in a hot tub with strangers sounds Weird to me i'm out and i'll tell you what men's bathroom empty i would well i never went into it But i'm pretty sure it was empty i never saw anybody else i'm guessing it was empty like i Was with is like i'm gonna go to the bathroom and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna go to the bathroom And i was like oh god that didn't even occur to me to ask where the bathrooms are Yeah but i just i'm just going down i'm just picturing all these people eating all this pizza And fried food and then everybody kind of spilling all of themselves oh yeah you're just gonna go sit

[51:00]In a hot tub and just yeah what could possibly go wrong it's like pizza the hud and space balls And then for two days i did this two days it's a lot of spa time and i'm walking around in a wet Swimsuit i came home my taint area was so wet i was like oh my god i'm gonna go to the bathroom It looks like cotton candy that has water on part of it you know when you take a bite of cotton Candy and it's like the pink in the middle then like light pink that's my taint it looks Just like that it's torn up from the floor up how are you why are you looking at your taint Oh okay oh i just won't oh you're gonna body shame me now you get like the mirror down there Like you're doing like the taint monologues like that's what i wanted to know looking at my taint Oh no i just love to have a burning cracking sensation and not know what's going on in my Taint area i could be good i could be folding inside out i could be folding it should be bad Okay aaron enough of that talk disgusting let's talk about this album it's nobody's Favorite part of the show fortunately we're not talking about music from big pink after All that taint talk yeah this is the brown album

[52:00]It's time for nobody's favorite part of the show oh my god i'm almost passed out If that restaurant featured steaks you would order the big pink wouldn't you air all day yes So we are talking about the band this is the band and the album is the band but we're going to call It's called the brown album kind of colloquially this is their second album after music from The big pink this is a mostly canadian band that kind of got famous as bob dylan's first backup Band when he went electric they're also featured in the movie the last waltz where it talks about Their last concert with the levon helms and basically music from the big pink was kind Of like a response to psychedelic experimental rock by really just playing with music from the big pink It's kind of melding rock and roll and kind of folksy country type sound and they said it's Like it's like going to hear a country band but the rhythm section is playing for stacks or motown

[53:00]That's how a lot of people described it i don't know if i quite heard that listen to this album But people what i learned about researching for this album people fucking loved the band like More than i realized they love these guys it's crazy right i don't get why they're singing about Southern united states so much when most of these guys were canadian it doesn't make sense to me Sell albums because they but they go ahead i was just gonna say i mean you know I ultimately think of them and we can get to this later i don't want to hijack your thing here but i Mean they're like a southern rock group and that was their inspiration for a lot of what they were Going for and so yeah you know if you're gonna they didn't want to be known as canadians they Didn't want people they wanted people to think of them as a southern rock group so they started Singing about those places so that they kind of were faking it to make it if you will but That's like a Being in a kiss cover band it's so strange i mean it's almost exactly the same idea i mean Drive by truckers who are a southern rock band who i love sang about this band they were embraced by That culture this is the second band to be put on the cover of time magazine after the

[54:00]Beatles this is the other band that made the cover i have no idea i mean it's crazy i could not pick A single one of these guys out of the lineup across the great divide while coming home to An upset wife it is i don't know what any of these songs are about i listen to this album So many times this week i couldn't tell you what any of these songs are about man what do you think Of this as an opener i mean i think it it sets up what the what they are i mean they're kind of a Little funky they're kind of a little rocky kind of a little you just can't peg them you know and I think that's why i like them they've got piano they've got a couple of singers they've got some Good singers you know so i don't know i think as a starter you know what this band is right Away what this group is what this album is so aaron almost every one of these songs is telling A story about somebody living in like the 1800s oh okay before they had text message or actually That was when text messaging started see if there's no text messages i'm not interested Like can you imagine a pony express comes to aaron's little covered wagon he's like holy

[55:00]Shit i'd go nuts i would kiss that guy right in the mouth thank you for your message All right tuba guys let's fire up the tuba rag mama rag oh yeah whatever rob here's that Tuba he starts thinking i'm jetty cheating in the tuba player playing in the background This song bangs this is my favorite song on the album i loved it when we covered it on the list Before i loved when i heard it months ago when we started the quest i i can't get enough of this Song this felt like aaron copeland like they're just doing like americana just taking it from The whole gamut of american music i read that rag mama rag they all kind of Played different instruments than what they normally played so levon helm i think played The mandolin a guy played a fiddle they all switched up instruments and played different Things it made me start wondering what they were doing and i think that's what i'm going to do next It made me start wondering what if we switched it up one night and we all played different roles What if matt was the main host what if aaron was i'll play the i'll play the vegan loving Wow you'd play me i'll play the dumb i'll play the dumb shit that none of us like and then we

[56:00]Text behind his back all the time which one of us is that oh man we don't need to talk about which One of you that is i've got three separate text chains going where we just rag on that third All over him and this probably the most famous song on the album the night they drove old dixie Down this is levon helms on the vocals which there is a good documentary out about his life He looks completely different than he did he lived a hard life By the way i keep saying leave on helms like ed helms is he the one that the elton john song is About this is possibly a good question okay it is i looked that up today and i listened to leave on One of my favorite elton john songs of all time it's written about him but then what's the song Came out like four years ago it's called it's called leave on yeah it's called pinball wizard

[57:00]By the way originally i thought pinball wizard was an elton john song for so long because i had His greatest hits elton john's in tommy i think right i'm pretty sure he's in the movie so honest Sake rob yeah rob's right so here's the deal is that the night they drove old dixie down after That final concert that was in the last waltz leave on helm never played that song again and It wasn't because of a songwriting problem a lot of people think it's because he hated the person Whose version got up to the highest on the charts and that's joan baez got all the way up to number Three with her version of the night they drove old dixie down pretty good And for some reason he was so mad about this that he never wanted to play it again honestly okay i'm Gonna i know we don't rip on stuff but this sounds like a bad church choir singing the song compared To the band's version of it in my opinion oh yeah it's very it's very corny it's pretty square yeah

[58:00]But i could imagine like if somebody else can you imagine if somebody else came out with the Same podcast we're doing right same like bits same like little segments and then they just got way more Popular like they become one of the most popular podcasts in the united states you would be like What the fuck they'd be so bad in your face seth meyer's brother in your face I'm still not sure if that's actually his brother when you awake I used to think it was so funny to wake up my dad by just peeling back an eyelid I thought it was so funny because you'd see That eye like roll from up to look at you god i think if my kids did that to me right now i i Might be in jail for like punching them they've done that to me and it's one of the most miserable Ways to wake up of somebody jamming their finger into your eye and then forcing you to look at them And like it's just terrible came out in 1969 how much of this is where does randy newman's career

[59:00]Fit into this because so much of this sounds like randy newman to me i don't know who came first Anybody know can you imagine if Austin power saw randy newman baby yeah you are randy You're talking about short people randy yeah you're randy newman What do i make you a horny randy newman that's the worst austin powers voice i've ever heard Yeah baby yeah what did austin powers get german i don't understand What's going on Do i make you horny randy newman well it looks like randy newman was like 17 in 1968 when he Made his first album so this was this stuff was probably before like he was probably listening 74 yeah he was so randy yeah but it just sounds to me like one influenced the other and

[1:00:00]I didn't know what the chronology was thank you matt for your taking my comments seriously What excuse me that feels like another shot at me This is why one of you is the dumb shithead that nobody likes rob no of course never and i don't Get it because all i did today i was so nice to aaron all he did is i wrote one song where i Called him a fucking moron about five times okay and then he has the audacity to say that something I said wasn't on topic outrageous all right speaking of great songs up on cripple creek I love this group got up to top 25 on the hot 100 you like this one aaron yeah It's a great groove this is the one that reminds me of rufus this is the one that's like to me r&b Kind of chunky the bass is doing its thing the keys are doing their thing they just lay it down And it sounds great i want you to listen to the organ back there now i thought of russell every Time now i hear an electric piano or something i think of russell automatically i've been i've

[1:01:00]Been pavlovian trained this is a clavinet with a wah-wah pedal it's the first example of it And some people think that this is the inspiration for stevie wonder's famous superstition opener Where he's playing the exact same thing i can hear it so the band gets credit for stevie wonder guys This is the most influential band of all time i'm having a i'm having a cocktail on side a with this One it's called a crippled creek cocktail it's weirdly satisfying smoky savory cocktail here's What's in it guys if it doesn't have ripple in it i'll be so mad three and a third slices of Cucumbers one reserve for garnish bourbon lemon juice pomegranate molasses oh i don't know and Dejon mustard it's a drunkard's dream if i ever did see one Why three and a third slices why not three why not four why three and a third Maybe i don't know i don't know i i don't know it's kind of like a sweet pickle kind of a Corn bourbon kind of it looks nice let's see let's count the cucumbers man county cucumbers

[1:02:00]Did you say there's a hyssop in there what was the one right before the mustard pomegranate Molasses and cane syrup i did not have cane syrup i was gonna say Not have pomegranate molasses but i did go to the store and i got regular molasses and Pomegranate juice and i figured that would get the same thing accomplished Why wouldn't it work molasses in the fridge right now i could have sent you some russell I think this is rob's new favorite bit of the whole podcast is listening to russell's Awesome drinks and then how he has to modify it based on what he's Rush i don't blame you i do the exact same thing just as snobby new yorkers who've got all those I just think it's so because it sounds like russell's a college kid who's like okay Gonna make a margarita all i've got is vodka and lemonade okay that's gonna work i could break i Could make that work put ice in it it makes it taste so much better though that's my trick you Put ice in it i gotta say the idea that russell did not have pomegranate syrup was the least

[1:03:00]Surprising thing i heard all night until aaron said that he did have some and then i was like That is the least surprising thing pomegranate molasses i bought it for a recipe i can't remember Which one but it was pretty good Was it the up on ripple creek drink that russ is no it wasn't like a salad with real pomegranates In it maybe some tahini i can't remember now i gotta i'll find the recipe and send it to you Matt you're right though i do it's one of my favorite parts of the whole time you know you Know what got confusing for me though so i've never had a pomegranate before i don't even know What the inside looks like or tastes like oh that's exciting so what became confusing is I only needed a little bit of pomegranate juice could i have cut up a pomegranate and Squeezed it into the cocktail or not Oh my god pomegranates are one of the most difficult okay russell i'm gonna show you What my taint looks like right now after two days of the soup suit that's a lot what the Inside of a pomegranate looks like actually To tiny little balls everywhere So then i went to the juice i'm not sure and something i tried to ride a bike tonight it

[1:04:00]Was agony it felt like somebody was biting me so then i go to the juice aisle and i'm like well I'll find pomegranate juice but they only had they had pomegranate juice like the expensive like Ten dollars for a bottle type of thing or they had the plastic bottle for two bucks But it was pomegranate cranberry and i decided to go with the cheaper of the two options I'm not spending 10 bucks for an ounce of pomegranate juice i just with this podcast right Russ's knockoff bar where russ spends one day at the grocery store and then you get whatever Drinks he can create from that yes sir we order you get it we can make a book out of this russell Yeah i was also curious why the fuck does dijon mustard need to go into this and i was gonna use The honey mustard i had at home but i thought i was already at the store i can get dijon mustard And i did get gray poupon oh yeah of course classy then you can show that to the hairdresser Russell be like well okay if you see i do have dijon mustard and she's like oh my god i'm gonna

[1:05:00]Why is that a big deal it's like because you're actually on a date with me okay so And at the end of the date i kiss so it's like i kiss at the end of the first day Excuse me sir how'd you like your haircut do i have to tell something here is there something Here on my chin and then when she gets close you go do i have to tell her we're on a date or do i Could i just make the move at the end of the haircut i think that i think you're according To your aunt you can just make that move at the end yeah i think that's questionable advice which For some reason for me brought out dijon mustard i don't know where that fit in i'm totally lost All right just like when Your gal gadot didn't like what was going on on the oh boy i wish i would have done this the set Of wonder woman and she had to tell him very quietly whispering pines was chris very bad job The piano wait i know was he acting untoward on the set of wonder woman No no it's a whispering tune he when he wrote this song the piano had one key out of Tune so he made them tune the piano like this which is why you hear this little weird noise

[1:06:00]Strange song i wanted this one to be over first song where i was like yeah that song has got to go The first song i had to skip multiple times i had a hard time with this well this is the end of this Is the end of side one is a great i think it's a great side i think you could listen To that side for a long time and be happy i mean you're going from the night they roll dixie down Rag mama rag crippled creek great songs second half of this album just like my second half of The spa guys it kind of gets a little uncomfortable Okay for your taint are you going to play some songs yes for both of these the album and the spa Jemima surrender i mean this one grooves though i like that it's definitely for me anything that's A little bit up tempo in this album i'm with the slower ones i had a really i struggled I like the idea though that they put the pianist of the band okay no aaron pianist means who plays

[1:07:00]Piano i saw you could you just like a big nod on the drums so there you go but it is Interesting like in the band they just seem to like it seemed to be like me when i was in band Class with a sub you're like oh what the hell am i gonna go play today we we also have to talk about The name what do you guys think of the name of just calling yourself the band Yeah how'd that happen gangster would we have more listeners if we just called ourselves the podcast We couldn't have less oh my god the podcast that's such a good idea What's the name of the band i don't know i don't know the name of the band i don't know the name of the Name of your podcast the podcast or it could be called apple podcast see what so people search Apple podcast and they would because you know how hard it was doing research like for the band Because everything you type in you'd be like the band rolling stone and it was just rolling stone Stuff and i'm like shit that's not what i want the band by the band in the magazine Rolling stone stupid google didn't even get it rocking chair sounds like a rocking chair

[1:08:00]I am not a big fan of rocking chairs that's my hot take today just because you think there it's not Going to hold up or what no i think rocking chairs actually are a big guy's best friend because They're normally big chairs right they have not just the feet so you're never going to see a Rocking chair break it just it's the pushing up i don't it's the moving and i'm sitting in the Chair because i don't want to exercise i don't want to exercise that's why i'm sitting in the Fucking chair yeah and then i'm always worried it's going to be like i don't want to exercise Going to like go on somebody's toes or something like that it's aaron you fuck with rocking chairs Do you have a rocking chair in your house aaron no i got one behind me right here shit in my Garage but we yeah we got one for the porch when my son was young but he's obviously too Big to rock it with us now so now it just sits behind me in the garage it's a nice one though It's like an outdoor style rocking chair it's good all of aaron's life is slowly getting put In this garage he doesn't realize he's like wait a minute california does 50 50 divorces what does

[1:09:00]That mean it's like literally you could Rosie's wife at gmail.com is just she's playing the long game here Sending his stuff out to the garage here we have a boogie woogie look out cleveland These song titles were all over the board i had no idea what was going on with these titles we Got rocking chair look out cleveland jawbone what i don't even know what these songs are about I don't know what any of them are about either well again i think a lot of these are just They're they're looking at you and they're looking at you and they're looking at you and They're looking to sell albums and so like you put cleveland in the title of an album And all of a sudden everybody in cleveland wants to listen to it right i mean so 100 copies sold In cleveland it's better than what that song was originally called i'm done being a mountie for the Day let's go get some poutine this is not southern enough okay yeah sorry sorry next up we have

[1:10:00]Jawbone now jawbone is kind of an interesting song because it is in six four time what does that mean Means when you're counting it off count by sixes Oh yeah no it's kind of has an uneven sort of feel i didn't notice that right so i can't do this so Well you know what i'll tell you what you guys are in luck because oh boy okay somebody really Cool maybe we did switch jobs tonight because i made a little oh yeah He cranked it out what is the list about this is the list of animals that feel like they're in my Teeth right now number one we've got the electric eel number two we have that caterpillar with the Spikes that you pick up and the spice gets stuck in your skin and it's just so bad No he did the list once on the scary halloween songs that none of them were scary Okay so first of all you don't have to say that right before i start my list that's a big downer

[1:11:00]I'd forgotten that because i was so excited i was like oh this is my first list and then i realized It's my first list that's not going to get edited out you block out terrible experiences and if you Tell yourself over and over it didn't happen eventually it didn't happen i can take up a i Can put up with a lot of shit but a whole segment i come up with just getting cut from the this Podcast it's like you know what we talked about teens for a long time so we're gonna have to cut Out your stuff that you work really hard on damn it so six four time you still have four four So it's like one two three four god i'm doing A terrible job like one two three four but now it's six beats long at that Same rate so here's the most easy one okay yeah most easy that's what a lot of scientists say This is mgmt electric feel just listen to when you're going to count this i'll count to six for You Here it comes listen to the bass one two three four

[1:12:00]Five six one two three four five six one two three four five six so it's it sounds like it's Just dragging a little bit when you're actually adding two more beats yeah that's that's clever Okay it's like aaron when he's had a couple drinks needs a couple more beats now sound Garden fell on black days also in six four time listen you can hear it counted off here One two three couldn't i just say one two three four and each time i get it i'd start over again At four try it one well here how about this See you get off and yeah there's a lot all these songs have a lot of syncopation kind of involved Too so if you just try to count six beats straight it doesn't really work but if you feel the Syncopation but you want to talk about synchronicity how about synchronicity and

[1:13:00]Synchronicity you're talking syncopation never mind who is this band Or something listen to the piano Two three four five six seven eight one two three eight four times no it's six That's a jam yeah also it's six four time wait so who's the band i was talking over you i'm sorry Who is that police oh Oh Okay and you might remember them because of sting The wrestler yeah he was when he was a surfer sting or the crow You know it's the sting yeah when he came in he started with the band the police a Lot of people don't realize that i always thought it was bullshit when i was younger That there was a singer called sting because i thought he was ripping off the wrestler And then it turned out there was also a guy in u2 that was ripping off the wrestler the edge The edge right Son of a bitch

[1:14:00]See the wrestler is just oh that's why my favorite band was just brutus the barber beefcake what was Sting's deal was he just not that talented or was he injured a lot like when he disappeared Injured all the time okay who are we talking about so then he had to do all that stuff where He would just come to the stage and then it was like a big threat and he would leave and never Wrestle and then it was like well are we ever going to wrestle here and then yeah right just I also liked how his weapon was a baseball bat like he's just gonna wallop people with baseball Bats like at least the guitar has got a little give a baseball bat that can do some damage and The fact that they stole that right from casey jones on teenage mutant ninja turtles oh yeah Just a complete ripoff i don't know oh well if he would have had a goalie stick that would have been I was just watching i watched that movie the other week by the way i watched that movie last Week literally teenage mutant ninja turtles from like 93 at the end shredder goes into a fucking Garbage truck and they crush him up into little bits it's one of the most horrifying things you Ever see whoa like the idea of it is terrifying you get crushed in a garbage truck like not a good

[1:15:00]Having kids steal stuff he wasn't even that bad of a guy and he gets crushed in a garbage truck Makes no sense listen to this guitar russell six four time whip it to a devo right here Two three four five six two three four five six the rest of the song is in four but That guy's got a good one On this list they've got to be they 100 have got to be and finally here's a little gift and by the Way making a list it turns out is actually very hard like it takes a lot of time and then you're Looking up stuff and writing in beck six four time does not help i can tell you right now This is a little band called pearl jam with the fixer Three I hear it It just makes you think that this the verse is just going a little long that's how it always Feels to me so anyway that guys was easily a top three list easily top three in the last

[1:16:00]Three weeks i had a lot more comments i wanted to give on that list but i was getting shouted down So i had to just chill tell rob to go fuck off sometimes you just need to keep going Rosie don't listen to him i don't want to get mad at you and again what have i done to you today Nothing but i did edit out that part where i yelled at you Okay so the audience has no idea what you're talking about okay and they don't get why it Feels weird now on the podcast after i yelled at you for real you can call him a fucking son Of a bitch mother and russell said to me you're gonna have to apologize again okay i edited all That out because it would make people feel awkward if they knew what an actual jerk i was here they Think i'm fun and they think aaron and i are friends they don't realize that we're actually Gonna have to have a conversation after this we're gonna have to have another post pod conversation Come to jesus Okay fine here's something guess what here's another edit point aaron i'm really sorry Okay i should have done that there we go see now i'm back all good

[1:17:00]Nobody can know i missed aaron the unfaithful servant Another one i had to skip this was either a handful of songs where i got I didn't mind a lot of the songs but there's some where i'd get a minute in i'm like i can't do Another three minutes of this man when they slow it down they just really Grind it to a halt just the tempo to me Plus they're like what's the south like a all right king harvest I think i stole i think this is a good closer i like this as a closer matt what do you think Of this for the clothes it's okay yeah this reminds me so much of that labby siffer song that Was sampled for hi my name is the m&m tune obviously i was worried i was a great point

[1:18:00]Aaron i was worried i wasn't gonna like this pomegranate drink so i made a second drink on This album too all right oh my god so on the second half i'm doing in honor of king harvest I'm doing a harvest apple mule which is apple cider ginger beer vodka and a cinnamon stick Oh that sounds good actually and for the fall russell i would fuck with that sounds really Good yeah i don't even want to hear it What i had to replace for the apple garnish chasing the pastor's daughter yeah it sounds Great this pomegranate slice did not do what i was hoping it would do Look up what a pomegranate is russell what you actually eat a pomegranate slice on a drink is One of the funniest ideas ever it's like the idea of yeah it is it's the size of a popcorn That's what we're talking about The toothpick would be bigger than the pomegranate it's so wild I now i'm sure you have an abundance of cinnamon sticks at your house russell there's

[1:19:00]No way you had to sub out a cinnamon stick no no the cinnamon sticks there the apple is was My joke i do have the cinnamon stick you can see it you actually had this wow nice work russell i'm Impressed subbing out the apple although i think it is the only time in my life where i've ever Purchased anything from the spices aisle of the grocery store that aaron is getting more mad At that than when i told him to fuck off Like for real i guarantee that upset aaron it is difficult to buy spices man because they all come In like the containers are way too big all spice jars should be about 25 percent the size That they're you can't use that much spice before it goes bad it's tough i imagine aaron's outside With a sign smaller spice jars small and he's walking around in front of the grocery store Smaller spice jars yeah that's my axe to grind right there that's that's my that's my platform Write me in for the Governor's recall no don't don't write in vote no on the recall and don't write anybody in Too late aaron i wrote in aaron shit and i don't think i spelled your name right that's my bad

[1:20:00]That's not you know what that's on me i'm gonna take the blame for that all right let's get into Nobody's favorite part yeah but it is the patented actually never mind it's the patented and very Popular rating system how do we know that i think we talked about the album for about five minutes That counts right is this the rest of the podcast is it time for the rig listen i got it is this album At 57 is it rolling well toned that means it is perfect okay it's perfect right here oh my god this Is you know what this hit me right in the perfect spot right on this list it's influential but it's Not so great you know it's not top 10 album but this is good is that would be a rolling well toned Rolling stone you did a great job with the band and again when i talk about the band i'm not Talking about the rolling stones don't be confused with that did rolling stone rate the band not Rolling stones too high okay that would mean that it is a rolling groan you did not like listening

[1:21:00]To this album when they picked the band and i'm talking about rolling stone the magazine they did A bad job they put it too high which means it's lower on this list which means we got to it too Soon we should be getting to it later okay this brown album should be coming at a different time Or is this a rolling boned okay it It shouldn't be this far back we should have had this already this is one of the greatest albums of All time according to rolling stone the magazine not the band conspicuously Silent about the band not themselves the rolling stone band but the band So that's very simple russell what did you think is this a rolling well toned rolling boned Or rolling groan so i i liked a lot of the songs like we were talking about earlier i thought side A had a bunch of jams on them i loved the first side but there are too many songs that the slower Ones like aaron was saying just didn't do it for me the other reason why i think it's a rolling bone Reason i didn't love this album sometimes i get annoyed with these albums that are ranked super High when they don't have the most famous song by the by whatever the band is and the weight is not

[1:22:00]On this band actually this is the band yeah this is the band you said it doesn't Matter what the band is this so this is the band i guess regardless their best song is The weight if you are you thinking of the guess who what right because you said i guess no he's Thinking yes yeah oh yes guess who yes Who no the band God it's a fucking buddy go ahead russell this album like that bit is rolling Okay so we're all saying hurtful things today i'm going to keep that in mind I combine my super huge salt container that i have and he's like Salt in the wound it's a mineral well-toned rolling boned or rolling grown what did you Think of the band by the band i'm afraid to speak up here but i will say way back in the rolling

[1:23:00]Going section of this podcast matt talked about professional bands that play together that really Know how to play and you can hear that with these guys i don't know where this sits in their Chronology as a band playing together but you can hear that they 100 percent know one another i did Not know this stuff about them switching instruments but they're clearly not going to Clearly good musicians very versatile when they get a groove going i love it some of the Mid tempo to faster tempo tunes on here i i really like but i i do have to disagree with matt i Think when they slow the tempo down that's where you can hear that to me the voices just have to Be better if you want to play that slow you've got to have a top five or ten voice in the band And for me they don't so i enjoy the album but the slow tunes just weigh it down too much For me so i'm gonna have to plus looking ahead a little bit on the list knowing that zeppelin Four is coming up next i have to say this is rolling ground okay so again you're stepping On my bit there at the end talking about the next band so i didn't know that i was stepping on your

[1:24:00]Bit no actually we're in a big fight okay don't try to get out of it if i could text Message you a hug right now rob i would there is a hug emoji you're gonna get a bunch of hug emojis You're gonna wake up tomorrow i just got a message from i just got a text message from russell and It's slowly opening on my phone okay i see a hotel size shampoo bottle no shit i should say that For after the song i fucked up matt what do you think rolling well toned rolling boned or rolling Grown and keep in mind guys i did not interrupt aaron there because i'm actually nice i really Really like this band and i think it goes which band the band this is so funny When you're it's on the other side is it man you know but they've been around this is like 20 years into their life as a band they've started out doing rockabilly and then kind of got Off of that tried to figure out where they're at to kind of get to southern rock went to bob Dylan did a couple years with him i mean cripes they're just they're at the peak of their performing

[1:25:00]Career and how they can act as a live band we talked about this patty smith there's bands that Have albums because they're great live and then there's bands who are great you know have to play Live because they have great albums right you know and so there's kind of that play here i think this Would be an unbelievable band to see live because all they ever did was play honky tonks and Bars and backed up these great musicians and so i think the only reason this album is here Right now by the band by the band is because of who they are from an influential Standpoint in the music world and so this album i think absolutely rolling groaned This should not be this high up here but as an influential band this is like one of those Homages to them as for their influence that they're putting it where it is so no i don't think that this Album should be in the top 100 but as a band and their influence the band is very influential I like it yeah so that's my i think but i do think the band by the band is rolling well groaned

[1:26:00]I hope you screwed up you gotta start over i mean everything good i i will tell you right now you Guys are all incorrect it's too bad this is a row okay i gotta read this first doesn't quite work This is a rolling southern america American canadian again it makes no sense okay they're telling me about the night they drove old Dixie down they should be talking about the night that the montreal canadians almost won the stanley Cup and maple syrup is that like pomegranate syrup it's very I spent all this money on pomegranate i think they're quite different because i think maple Syrup comes right from the tree and then pomegranate molasses is you can make it by Cooking down the fruit until it gets you gotta boil that shit to get it how Long is molasses good for aaron i mean i think a long time there's a lot of sugar in there i think You keep it for a long time oh that's so good that would be a perfect thing at your restaurant

[1:27:00]Your 90s restaurant order some brown sugar d'angelo comes out with no shirt on molasses All over him it was 80s when you could pour some sugar on me next up we have an album and the The legend goes when this band was naming this album they were on a golf course they were just About to hit the ball and they said hey guys what are we going to do next we're going to do this We're going to call this album led zeppelin and they go Four That was great actually how many people are in this band Jack beck did it better i just spent the Last five minutes going through the rolling stone top 100 hip-hop songs of all time trying to come Up with a good breakfast pun joke and motherfucker this rolling stone website is terrible for this List too you can't even get through the goddamn five minutes of your life you're not getting back
