Second half.
So the first half we had a 12-year Jack Daniels.
Excellent.
Outstanding.
One of the better ones we have in my opinion.
Is that the first time we've ever had three over eight?
Three people?
I don't think so.
Like I said, I think some of the Elijah Craigs.
The pin hook we did.
The pin hook, the Elijah Craigs, I think were all in the eights for us.
It is not very often though.
No, it's not.
So that just tells you how excellent that was.
It was excellent.
Heads off to the Mr. Jack.
Total Wine.
Mr. Total Wine.
Yeah, my wife liked it as well.
Second half of the Dudes Like Us podcast on February 20th, 2024.
Thank you Mr. Producer for being here in the second half in your cheerful state.
And Dudes Like Us, I'm Sean.
I'm Paul.
And I am Jeff.
And we've got a whole lineup of these topics to talk about.
But before we jump into those, we wanted to kind of reflect a little bit for those people
that listened to the last podcast.
We were talking about, Paul, what were we talking about?
We were, I was talking about how that tweet about, you know, for Presidents Day.
So the tweet, so it's on X.
Yes.
Do they call it?
Do they call it tweets anymore?
I guess they do technically, but it's inaccurate.
It's called Xing.
They call it Xing?
Oh, OK.
But so on this, on the tweet, we'll call it a tweet.
They were honoring that Democrat presidents that are still alive.
And they forgot Carter.
So let's let's why did they forget that, though?
So you know, obviously, Jimmy Carter still alive.
But his wife just died, though, I believe.
She did.
Rosalind.
Anyway, and I made the comment, oh, hell, it would have been so easy.
Just look up chat, GBT, and it would have told you who the alive the presidents who
are alive are.
And our producer decided to get on chat.
GPT.
Mr. Austin, he went up there and did a little research and he is your Mike life.
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah.
OK.
Read to us what read to us what you asked and what the response was.
OK.
I put you just got the flange working on.
That's all right.
Keep rolling.
I put which Democratic presidents are still alive in chat.
GPT first, first thing, didn't put anything else in or responded with just Barack Obama
and Bill Clinton.
And then I responded with what about Carter?
And it was quick to correct itself.
It's apologies for the oversight.
Yes.
Jimmy Carter is a living Democratic president.
He served as the 39th president of the United States from 1781.
So the living Democrats are other.
The last update are these three.
Jimmy Carter.
So how could it get that wrong?
I don't understand.
That's about biasness.
That's about they don't want to include him as one.
That's about.
Well, you know what?
But he's not dead last.
Trump is right.
Unbelievable.
It's just anyway.
So thank you for doing that, Mr. You know what?
You literally went to get chat GPT, as I suggested, and it gave you an incorrect answer.
That is unbelievable.
Why don't you type in there what chat GPT presidential rank is?
Ask it to rank the U.S. presidents.
Oh, what a great idea.
See what it comes up with.
See if it's similar to the number one Trump.
I guarantee it's probably last again.
And then and then it will never say it again because they'll it'll send off an alert at
the open open a central command center and they'll say, oh, we got to fix that.
Yeah, we got to fix that.
All right, here we go.
Can you rank all U.S. presidents from best to worst president?
Here we go.
Let's see here.
Where's Trump?
Here we go.
Oh, he's not even listed.
Oh, wait, they only went to the top 40.
Ask it for all of it.
Give me all presidents.
What about the remaining five?
Obama's probably not included in that modern presidents.
Yeah.
OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Modern presidents.
Let's see.
It should be everybody.
What the hell?
There should be 46 of them like you so eloquently put, you know, told me in the last podcast.
Right.
Donald Trump dead last.
There we go.
Forty.
Well, it says 42.
That's unbelievable.
Oh, and George Bush, George W. Bush, 41.
This is such crap.
Oh, my God.
It's such crap.
It does.
Well, these are just listing them in order.
No, it's listing them.
Well, Joe Biden is last now.
OK, what the hell?
So George Bush, that's the worst.
Abraham Lincoln was president in 15.
So that's not right.
Ronald Reagan wasn't president in nine.
So this is kind of weird.
So it's changing its list every time it is.
But yeah, I mean, come on.
Well, it says certainly the from the best to the worst based on the various historical
assessments and perspectives.
That is interesting.
So I put Biden last.
They did.
And this one is said it has Donald Trump, 42 and Joe Biden, 43.
Well, whatever.
I mean, it's so dumb.
It's so subjective.
It's just crazy.
All right.
OK, well, let's talk about let's talk about what let's talk about you and me.
Let's talk about music key top 10 albums.
So we were this been a topic of list of we want dudes like us out there.
I don't know if you're how old you dudes are, how old you guys are out there.
We're pretty much in our 50s.
So our music genre is going to be a little bit different than yours as far as what we
think is good and what's bad.
But due to the popular demand of the stars and whoever come up with this list, I don't
know who Mr. Producer's pulled up back there, but we're going to try to figure out the top
10 albums.
Best selling album, best selling albums.
So this is going to be kind of queer because there's not really albums out there to sell
anymore.
Right.
So it's the rank.
Meaning like, you know, they've got to have a way to handle digital like it has to be.
It's weird.
So I don't know how you know, because it's difficult because they're not as expensive.
I mean, it doesn't cost as much to buy the digital version.
Well, I don't think I don't think people buy albums anymore.
They buy specific songs.
Yeah, perhaps, or they just have Amazon or Spotify.
So why don't we change this then?
No, I want to look at this first.
OK.
And then we can try to figure out to prove his theory of who he thinks the best selling
I would like to see what is the best selling artist of all time.
And so let's do that after this.
Let's do that after this.
So before we start, do we want to like let's just name that list?
Just name one one artist.
Let me go first.
Go.
Madonna.
You think she's in there?
I think she's in there.
I think Debbie Gibson's in the top 10 for sure.
I can't tell front.
I'm thinking the Eurythmics.
No, Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
Michael Jackson.
OK, that's a good guess.
I think Pink Floyd.
Yeah.
Oh, I think ACDC.
Yeah, that's not ACDC.
I don't think so.
Led Zeppelin.
What about Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow?
Top 10?
I don't think so.
No, I think the Beatles may be in there.
I think the Beatles would be in there.
Actually, I do think ABBA would be in there.
You think ABBA might be in the top 10?
All time or single album?
Let's open up the line.
See what our listeners are.
The Eagles, the double platinum album.
I bet the Eagles are in there.
It's a live album.
Rolling Stones.
Well, there you go.
25 best selling albums of all time.
And this is coming out from Pastrner.
Paste?
Paste.
Pastrn Magazine.
I'm not sure what that is.
This is Paste.
Paste?
Paste Magazine.
What a weird name.
Paste Magazine.
All right.
That's what happens when you spooge on the pages.
Well, the facts should be the same, right?
Should be.
All right.
The Beatles, number 25.
Sgt.
Pepper's Lily Heard's great album, by the way.
1967.
I loved that as a kid.
18 million.
OK, number 24.
Yeah, Pink Floyd.
The Wall.
Not a fan.
I wasn't a fan as a kid.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, no, I just never really listened to it.
I tell you what.
It's got some good music on it.
Yeah, it's got some good music on it.
But let's chat about this.
Because my experience with the Pink Floyd, The Walls, we lived in Germany at the time
and we were limited on, first of all, they didn't have like, they had like a United States
broadcasting system for like radio, but it wasn't like it is.
Right.
So and you just didn't have you didn't have a bunch of albums out there.
My dad was able to my dad was able to get the Pink Floyd on tape cassette tape.
So we don't know if one of his friends had purchased it and he did his second generation
tape.
Right.
And we would sit there in a beauty.
We'd listen to the whole album and we would listen to it over and over.
So my parents would go out shopping.
I had no idea what the fuck my parents did.
They would leave us in the they would leave the apartment because we lived in Germany,
man.
Mannheim, Germany, Frankfurt, Mannheim.
Both we lived in both places and they would leave and they go shopping for like hours
and hours all day on a Saturday.
They get my brother, sister and I would they get a hotel room.
I got a hotel room.
Maybe they did.
Whoopie.
Yeah.
Lots of whoopie hours and hours of your parents making love.
Just raw together.
Riding and just sweaty.
Yeah.
Frothy.
You're screaming, your dad's screaming.
Frothy.
OK.
So we would listen.
We were hoping to upset you.
It didn't upset you at all.
Yeah, go dad.
I guess.
Yeah.
I guess in Germany.
So this album, The Pink Floyd.
So we Pink Floyd was one of them.
We also had like Urban Cowboy and we have a Barbara Streisand Guilty with the Nightmare.
Barry Gibb.
Thank you.
And this album is We Don't Need No Education.
That is one of the songs.
And you know what?
That is a good song.
You know, the children.
I mean, it's a little weird.
But look, so the Pink Floyd has a he has a style of music that doesn't really stop.
So the album begins and it's like a concept.
It's a concept.
And it's like the album.
There are songs on the album, but it's one straight song.
Oh, I see.
It's a theme.
And basically there was a movie that was made.
And it really if you kind of like imagine what's going on, it tells a story.
So I need to go back and listen to this.
But there are a lot of albums that like Pink Floyd put out that does like the final cut.
The final cut, in my opinion, is probably well, you know, the double the the Delicate
Sound of Thunder is probably one of my favorite albums.
The final cut is probably number two.
And this is probably number three.
The final cut is an excellent album.
Man, it's interesting because my my my takeaway from Pink Floyd during my whole childhood
was like the most depressing, weird, I just psychedelic.
I don't think you were given an opportunity to listen to it.
No, it wasn't my genre at all.
I'd recommend go back and get it.
OK, yeah, I think I will, too.
Let's go up to 23.
Number 23.
Eleven million, by the way.
Eighteen total certified sales, 18 million, 30 million claimed US sells 11 million.
I don't even know what that means.
Can you scroll to 23?
Scroll down there.
Super man.
There we go.
Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Bad, the Bad album.
Good album.
In eighty seven that had you ain't fat.
You ain't fat.
I haven't seen you at BurgerWood lately.
Really, really bad.
I said the is bad.
What's the the song where the video or he's walking down the street with the thriller?
No, has smooth criminal on there.
I've done it.
Is that not bad?
No, it's not.
I don't know.
It'd be nice if they had listed Billy Jean.
You talk about no, that's on Thriller.
Anyway.
All right.
So the wall is his off the wall and Thriller were his predecessors.
You know, to the wall.
Then he had like Man in the Mirror.
Maybe that's where man in the mirror.
That was a good one.
Maybe that's where that was a good song.
I'd be curious what's on this whole bad album.
We were probably dirty.
Dirty Diana.
You know, dirty Diana.
You know, the Michael Jackson is such an interesting character and they really drug his name through
the mud.
You know, when he passed away with all the the crazy buttholes, little boys, but all
the kid, the Never Neverland.
Yeah.
Buttholes.
Oh, yeah.
I was a little kid staring.
Did you watch that movie?
No, I won't.
I did not.
I won't watch it.
I'll leave it to you.
It's disturbing.
It's very.
Are you saying it's convicting?
Yes.
Yeah.
So as far as the modern music goes, I mean, Celine Dion, Let's Talk About Love is number
twenty two.
So I'm assuming this came from Celine Dion.
Huh?
Yeah.
There's nothing small or subtle about Let's Talk About Love from Celine Dion's vocals
to the ambitious of her collaborations.
Barbara Streisand, Luciano Pavarotti and the Bee Gees, Diane King perform on various tracks.
Harold King and Corey Hart.
This is a Titanic theme song.
That alone made the album.
Yeah.
But did this was that on here?
Yes.
That's kind of what it was.
Is that Power of Love?
Is that is that what that one is?
That was not.
Was that Celine Dion?
I thought that was Lord Brannigan.
No, no, no.
Power of Love is Celine Dion.
But was that from that movie?
I just don't know if it was from that movie.
From Titanic?
Uh huh.
No.
What's the one you're thinking of then?
From the Titanic.
Well, I know, but it's got a title, not just Titanic, is it?
Well, the movie is called Titanic.
What?
Really?
Oh, wow.
That's news to me.
Was it?
Yes.
But I mean, we're talking about what the title of the song was.
Titanic.
Are you serious?
No.
Oh, God.
OK.
I thought you were fucking with me.
No.
Well, looking 21.
All right.
Well, let's scroll down.
So you got a Madonna as number 20.
OK, that's very interesting because that is her best of album.
Immaculate Collection.
Yes, that is I have that album and it's the her.
Yeah, that's her best of.
So that's interesting that they would include that as you know what I mean?
That seems kind of like it's cheating.
Well, no, I don't think so because look, it was because look, they look, she had she came
out with a bunch of weird stuff.
She was going out with that guy, Sean Penn, Sean Penn, who was a dipshit.
He's a douchebag.
He still is a douchebag.
Now, but I mean, look, the Madonna came back at that time before she came out with a lot
of good stuff.
It was real popular, real fun.
Oh, she was great.
No, no, no.
So she would capitalize off a bunch of stuff.
I think she's the Taylor Swift of the 90s.
I was completely infatuated.
I'm going to admit it, completely infatuated with Madonna at one point in my life.
She kind of jumped the shark when she was banging basketball players.
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, hopefully, Taylor Swift doesn't turn into the Madonna where she gets all.
What a train wreck.
Did you see she fell down on stage?
Yes.
Well, I was it wasn't her fault.
It was the dancers fault.
And he was wearing high heels.
And apparently she, you know, laughed it off and they got back on the chair.
I mean, it's no big deal.
She fired him after the show.
I'm sure she.
You're fired.
Oh, I doubt it.
You're fired.
Why would you do that?
She's sleeping with him.
All right.
Twenty.
Moving on.
Number down at number twenty.
Eventually.
Oh, we get to a Bruce Bristie.
Do you guys ever get bothered with how he's like a hack?
I don't like him.
I mean, I hate that.
I hate that.
I don't want to inject politics into the artists that we listen to as kids.
We talked about this before.
But he is kind of he is.
But let's let's let's bring it back into the 80s.
OK, this came out in 1984.
Great album.
It did do a lot of sales.
The Springsteen's Springsteen's finest moments, his strongest pop hooks, his most mature lyrics
was disagree.
I think his next album was more than this one.
But born.
Well, I mean, it was different.
I think he also changed his name.
No, no, no.
That was John Cougar.
John Cougar.
But I mean, look, this was a USA apple pie hot dog eating, you know, little did it about
Jack that was.
I was.
I get those.
John Cougar.
Those white boys all look the same to me.
No, it was born in the USA.
It was glory days.
Right about reliving the glory.
I know that's a great song.
It's a great song.
Dancing where he's up there dancing in the dark.
Yeah, with Courtney Canucks.
The thing about is that as I actually would you hold on, what do you think?
Courtney Cox.
It was Courtney Cox.
Yes.
He pulled her up on the stage.
Was that was how she found that way?
I think so.
I don't know.
But that's the first time I saw her.
Well, she gets up there starts dancing.
She does.
She was butting it.
No, no, she wasn't bad.
She wasn't nude.
She was vagging.
So now if they don't have clothes on, they're vagging.
They're vagin moving on.
Number 19.
Santana.
He doesn't sing.
All he does is play guitar.
Yeah, but there's he writes the crap, doesn't he?
Yeah, but I don't know.
Well, this was a comp.
This was a collaborative thing because he had a bunch of people singing with him like
there says Rob Matchbox Twins.
Every song.
Is Rob Thomas in this in 1999?
Yes.
And Maria Maria with the R&B duo, the product.
So what was that song that Rob Thomas sang with with him?
It was smooth.
It's called Smooth.
I don't.
Yeah, I think that was it.
That's the one you're talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
It's on the album.
Yes, that's the one.
Yeah.
Matchbox 20.
I like Rob Thomas.
He's got a.
But you forget about it or something like that.
Don't forget about it.
Yeah, that's the one.
Yeah.
That's a good song.
Lots of lots of movement.
It's interesting.
But he's just the guitarist.
Oh, the black album.
I'm a tall.
I got a little look up.
Metal.
But you're saying that.
I'm not saying that.
I'm a tie.
Yes.
The dog has been a band for a decade when they released their self titled fifth album,
the Black Album in 1991.
The intense and argumentative recording process with producer Bob Rock occurred while four
three fourths of the band was going through divorce proceedings.
Can you imagine that?
What a nightmare.
Yeah.
Well, this is where I guess being in a band is not good for your marriage.
But with the band partially letting go of its thrash metal roots, the heavy metal of
Metallica broke through the mainstream.
Audiences become the best selling metal of all time.
In the Sandman enters Sandman.
The ad is my favorite.
Nothing else matters where every room sad, but true.
All of those are great songs.
Outstanding.
Oh, man.
You know what?
I remember so we went to the the which one call it the place that almost burned down
while they're rebel.
The rebel in a day.
It was metal liquor was there and and it was you.
I didn't know anything.
I didn't know any of the songs and you're like, oh my God, I can't believe it.
You were like, whoa, it was Metallica.
Metallica.
Yeah.
And you were like and he knew the words of every he was singing.
Oh, that was great.
I told I told my wife you looked like it was bright.
You were like an eight year old.
You're like, oh my God, I know this one.
I know that they were good band, too.
I know.
They said a great way.
So I have yet to do that.
I didn't go back and like listen to their shit.
I need to.
You need to.
I'm going to.
All right.
Number 17, number 17 move down.
Oh, was not expecting this one.
That out of hell.
Yeah.
This this basically was.
I was expecting this.
Yeah.
But so they have I think two or three songs on this album.
One of them is two out of three.
A bad I think is one of the songs.
Oh, that's the guy.
I know that.
And the Paradise Cafe was a paradise.
Paradise by the dashboard light.
Paradise by the dashboard lights.
Track 10 off this one was was another very popular one.
You know, it's crazy meatloaf of all people.
Yeah, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't think this one.
Yeah, but it's interesting.
But it's it is a great album and he's a fantastic performer.
Is he still alive?
Great question.
I don't know.
Dead or alive contest.
I would say alive.
Oh, really?
Is this like a game?
First of all, who is the lead singer again?
Meatloaf.
It is.
What is his name, though?
His name is Meatloaf.
It's Meatloaf.
Mr. Loaf.
Now, he does have another name.
I don't know what it is.
Oh, the story of Marvin Lee a day better known as Meatloaf.
Better known as only known as Mr. Loaf.
Mr. Loaf.
Is he alive?
Yeah.
Let's do a quick check.
He is.
He died.
He did die.
Recently.
Two years ago.
Known professionally as Meatloaf was an American singer actor, unknown for his known for his
powerful wide range of vocal theatrical things.
What was the movie that he was in that was the Rocky Horror, the Rocky Horror picture
show?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was that was creepy.
But did you actually go to the movie theater?
I did.
It was fun in the movie theater.
It was fun.
Oh, because everybody knew what they were.
Everybody was dancing and singing and everybody was like doing their thing.
There was.
That was what I was like.
I was watching props and like food they threw and it was like it was it was a thing.
I've never been to one.
Oh, I've seen the movie.
I went to saw probably two or three times.
Were you naked?
Nobody.
Nobody was naked.
I was dating.
I was dating a girl who was totally into this.
It's like a cult.
It is.
And she was like, OK, I was like, OK, I'll do this.
And I was like, what?
It was usually like a midnight showing.
So it was a midnight show and it was crazy.
They give you a little roofie?
No, they didn't roofie me that I know of.
But what's weird is I've tried watching it here at the house.
It was like, yeah, that's not the same.
No, it's not.
It's like you need all the other.
Yeah, you need the app.
You know, you it doesn't make any sense.
I think it's that where they have like the little plant that goes feed me more.
It's the same thing.
That's a little shop of horrors.
Oh, that's very similar, though.
Yeah, that is kind of.
Was that also meatloaf?
No, it's not.
That was Rick Marinus.
Oh, I like Rick.
He's funny.
He is funny in the movie anyway.
It's a musical.
It's a Broadway musical.
It's a movie.
I shrunk the kids.
All right.
Let's go to number 16, 16.
Now we're talking staying alive.
OK, well, first off, hold on.
No, no, no, no, no.
Check.
OK, it's various artists as well because this is the sound track.
Yeah, Night Fever.
Yes.
The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
Yeah, there's a lot of other artists on.
This was a total certified sales, 21 million.
Not only did this film introduce the world to the smoldering screen presence of John Travolta,
but Cement of the Bee Gees plays the top pop culture.
It is bold.
I just my favorite song.
How deep is it?
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby.
If I can't have you.
All right.
So that was the out event.
Somebody.
Well, the person who sings that they can't have you.
Why is that?
Yeah.
But why?
That's not that's on the album.
This song, the song we just sang is on that album.
100 percent.
Well, but it says Bee Gees and various artists.
I just watched the Bee Gees documentary again with my wife.
I highly recommend it.
Really?
Highly recommended.
You have like a ton of hair and high voices.
It goes through their entire career when they're starting out as kids.
Yes, in Australia.
All the way through.
They're insanely successful.
They all have castles.
Yeah, but the thing about it is they didn't.
They do.
The thing about it is when they're in Australia and they're trying to make it, they had a
different whole sound to them and the guy was like, yeah, let's change it.
Let's change a few things.
Hey, Barry, once you kick your brother in the bulls.
No, that didn't happen until much, much later.
How much later?
I want to watch it.
To the 70s right before this.
Is it on Netflix?
It's on HBO.
HBO.
Home Box Office.
HBO Max.
Does that still exist?
Yes.
So does Showtime and Skinimax.
They all still exist.
I don't have any.
The falsetto didn't kick in until the 70s.
They got Pornhub.
And you don't want the whole thing.
You just want, you know.
Right.
And they're listening to some old Motown R&B stuff.
And their producer said, why don't you kick that up a notch?
No way.
So their producer made them because they didn't change.
Well, they went through different phases.
Yeah, they're so talented.
Their vocals changed a lot too.
I mean, vocals do change as you get older.
And the more you practice and the more you hit those notes, I mean, the more you harmonize
together.
I mean, look, they sound great together.
There are times that they've been on several shows like the Oprah Winfrey Show and they
were, hold on, let's back up.
There was another one.
I don't forget.
Regardless.
Sally Jesse Raphael.
That's it.
You nailed it.
I don't think it was Sally Jesse Raphael.
I think it was like, like Howard.
Howard.
Where do you pull that shit from?
Howard Stone.
Howard.
What's his name?
Howard Stone.
Howard Steen.
Who?
Stern?
Howard Stern.
Yeah, the germaphobe.
Yeah.
But the point is that those guys truly have talent.
When they harmonize together, it's like, God bless.
You guys are just, they hit all the notes.
They rock it.
All but one is dead.
Are they all dead?
They're all dead except for the oldest, Barry.
Barry.
The youngest died first and then the twins.
Oh, there are twins in there?
Twins are Maurice and Adrian or something like that.
Interesting.
I want to watch that.
Okay, I got to figure out how to do that.
No, it's outstanding.
Yep, and they're good old, they're good guys too.
All right, so number 15.
15, here we go.
We have, so number 15 is Appetite for Destruction.
They're saying this was the greatest rock album of all time.
And it was their debut.
How crazy is that?
I got to be honest, I don't like Guns N' Roses.
I don't like Axl Rose.
I never really, I had to listen to their music because I was a disc jockey at the time and
I played it.
I like this album.
I love this album.
I got into some of it, but all in all, not a huge fan of Guns N' Roses.
Did you listen to the whole album though?
All of it.
Yeah, I liked it.
So what was your favorite, Jeff?
What was your favorite track on this album?
I liked the, what's the first song on the second side?
They don't have sides anymore.
They don't have sides.
You just totally dated yourself.
I did.
It was the first song on the second side, whatever that is.
I liked that one the most.
Which one?
I also liked Mr. Brownstone.
That's my favorite.
Mr. Brownstone is my absolute favorite.
I guess I haven't heard the whole album.
Yeah, they just never did anything for me.
I never felt it.
So they never, I mean, I thought they dropped off.
I know they had a couple hits.
I've actually seen them in the concert.
They imploded.
They imploded, yes.
Yeah.
Like what do you mean personally?
Like they had the band fell apart?
Yeah, it just completely fell apart.
Axl Rose just, he had.
Drugged out.
Yeah, drugged out, Slash was drugged out.
You know, they just, they couldn't do it anymore.
They couldn't handle the fame and the fortune.
Yeah, and they just, I think they're back together now.
Yeah, but it's kind of a.
He looks like a grandmother.
Axl Rose does.
It's kind of strange looking.
So painful.
I know.
It's so painful to see these guys in their 60s, 70s.
Fuck them.
And they look horrible.
Fuck them.
From heart to heart.
You know what?
Here's the thing.
It's like someone that wins a lottery ticket and blows all their fucking money.
Shut the front door.
Get the fuck out.
I hear you.
All right, number 14.
Bob Marley.
Was not expecting this.
The legend album.
I was not expecting this.
Bob Marley.
And the Wailers.
Okay, so they are basing this on sales, right?
Not just like how they feel about it.
Certified sales.
Stir it up.
And then they're going to sell it to the Wailers.
It's interesting because, you know, Bob Marley, the whole reggae movement is actually extremely
popular.
And I'll tell you another reason.
There's a movie coming out, too.
Yeah, there is about his life.
The thing about reggae music and Bob Marley is that when you pull up the genre and just
say, hey, let's say I own a club and I want to have a genre of everything because I want
to bounce on everything.
If we're going to we need some reggae.
Reggae night.
Well, reggae, let's just say we need a reggae section.
You know, Bob Marley is going to be on that list.
Oh, for sure.
Oh, yeah.
I think he was the creator of reggae.
Was he not?
Probably not.
But he made it popular.
From Jamaica, then his son, I think Ziggy Marley.
Ziggy Marley.
He had one or two hits.
Did he have Big Mountain?
Is that the name of the song?
No, that's the band that kind of mish-mashed reggae.
I don't remember.
I remember a couple of songs.
But there are a lot of bands afterwards that took on.
UB 40?
Yeah, yes.
British band.
UB 40 was not bad.
Yeah, they were all right.
But it's just it wasn't the same.
The Bob Marley and the Whalers, they were sincere, true Jamaicans that had a cultural
influence.
I need to go back and listen to that.
I could even tell you.
But they have the songs that they talk about tell a story.
So especially off of this album, but they have a what's like Buffalo Soldier.
You know what?
Buffalo Soldier.
You know, that talks about, you know, how how the fuck I forget what it talks about.
It talks about how the black folk were they fought in the war.
They called Buffalo Soldiers.
Am I telling that?
Is that right?
I have no idea.
I'm maybe I'm guessing you're about maybe seven percent right.
But my point is that the the histories tell stuff that the tell the tall story.
The songs tell a story like no woman, no cry.
You know, you ever heard that song?
No woman, no cry.
You know, it's like it's he basically says, hey, look, man, if you don't have a woman,
you can't get fucked up over them.
So well, this thing is says he had at least 10 children with a number of different women.
Well, that makes sense.
He had 10 children with 11 women.
Yeah.
So he is a total ganja smoke in the whole cliche thing.
In fact, the whole he got shot that we I don't know.
He died.
Oh, good question.
How did he die, Mr. Producer?
I think he got Bob Marley.
Was did he overdose?
I thought he got shot.
I don't think he can overdose on pot.
I don't know.
I don't think he can.
All right.
Let's see what happened to him.
Blows away.
He does.
Tragic story of what caused it.
Cancer.
That's not as exciting as getting.
Oh, I.
He had toe cancer.
You say toe toe.
I read this recently.
No skin cancer.
Yes.
On his toe.
We don't hear that every day.
Really?
He died of skin cancer on his toe.
Why do I think he got shot?
I can't.
I just remembered this.
I do remember that.
But that may have been a son, I think.
A grant he had on his big toe.
A cancerous growth on an on an old soccer team.
I don't know.
A cancerous growth on an old soccer injury on his big toe that metastasized and spread
to his brain, liver and lungs.
You gotta get that shit taken care of man.
Unbelievable.
That's so preventative.
Yep.
So dumb.
How tragic.
He was only 36.
Alright, so Bob, Bob.
Big toe cancer.
So Bob Marley, he got attacked and he was shot.
But he didn't die.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I know he's saying I shot the sheriff.
And the sheriff shot him back.
Alright, number 13.
He died of malaria.
Abba.
There it is.
Abba.
The greatest hits album.
If you change your mind.
Chica-ching, chica-ching, chica-ching, chica-ching.
So there's two albums, by the way.
I know.
Money, money, money.
There's a gold album and then there's another greatest hits album that's like more gold
or something like that and they're both great.
I enjoy the album.
I have both.
You know, as gay as a dancing queen, everyone comes out and you're like, you're a fag for
dancing.
Inside your body is like dancing a little bit.
Love it.
You're just like, don't you do a snap.
A little bobble.
I just call myself snapping.
What the fuck?
So overseas, Abba was just mammoth.
They have the holographic concert where they are making shit tons of money and they're
not even performing.
They just.
The hologram of them is up there.
They're all still alive.
Yeah.
They're not alive.
They're all still alive.
Yeah, they're still alive, but the concerts are holographic.
Where are these concerts?
I think it's in London.
I'd see it.
That'd be amazing.
They have their own venue, everything.
Movies.
Millions of dollars.
Awesome.
I love Abba.
They've got a great sound to them.
They sure do.
Hats off to them.
I think they're.
It's solid, it's clean.
I think the ladies were back in the day sexy.
They were super sexy.
Well, I don't think they're sexy anymore, but so I agree with that statement.
I think they're a little bit sexy.
I think they're crazy hot still.
I haven't really seen them like that.
I subscribe to both of their only concerts.
I think they're really sexy.
I think they're sexy.
Well, they're sexy.
Well, I don't think they were that ugly on that album.
What do you think about their only fan?
Really fan.
Yes, stripper down number 12 on the list.
The Beatles.
Beatles Why does this one, everything heard of one, one is maybe the first album.
The concept was simply a compilation of everything you saw on the top charts to their best of
every U.S. for for those.
Accounting.
We'll take out.
Did you guys, did you guys Twinkle album within terminal 7?
Did you guys grow up listening to The Beatles?
Negative, no.
I did, I big time.
Again, overseas, it was huge overseas, just like ABBA.
Not a huge fan of The Beatles.
Oh, you're a communist.
So this particular album was just a compilation
of some of their best hits.
And The Beatles came up with so many different songs.
Paul McCartney took a hiatus and he joined Wings.
I like Wings better than The Beatles.
But you know what, statistically speaking,
I think Wings actually made more money than The Beatles.
The Beatles weren't around actually very long.
Well, so that's interesting.
I just find it shocking.
I watched it, so you know, the documentary.
I watched The Beatles documentary.
It's the one, you guys were talking about it.
I finally went back and watched it.
Anyway, is that the guy that was in some alternate universe
that started singing all The Beatles songs?
No, that's a good one.
I saw that one too.
No, no, no.
It's called Yesterday, right?
Yeah, yesterday.
Yeah, he.
Yesterday.
It's an interesting movie.
Anyway.
It's called Let It Be, right?
Their sound, I mean, they changed their sound.
Oh yeah.
So dramatically.
The Beatles?
The Beatles.
Yeah.
I mean, they went through all these different phases
as a band and as songwriters and drug induced.
They were crafty.
It was great.
Tell one of the, I don't know the part of the documentary
or what, but I was watching it.
It's like one of the beginning of the songs
that the drummer left to go to the bathroom.
And he was like, they started the song
and they thought he was in his booth and he wasn't.
He was like, oh shit, and he ran over there, started.
And he's like listening and he was like picked up
and they were like, oh, that was the coolest intro ever
because it started with like a little guitar solo.
And then the drums kind of picked up in the middle of it.
Like, yeah, fuck it, let's just roll with it.
They did not cover that.
But when you mentioned the drummer,
they had multiple drummers before it finally was.
Ringo.
Ringo's star.
They were also, I don't know if they created,
they may have created multi-track recording.
Oh, like one of the very first artists ever to do that?
Yes, yes.
That's interesting.
Kind of like our podcast.
I believe they were the first one.
Yes.
That's how we take out most of what Sean says.
Correct, they had four tracks.
Everything is.
Back in the day, they had four tracks.
They recorded everything on four tracks.
Okay, number 11.
Oh, that's fun.
I think of Pink Floyd.
Oh, God.
Another Pink Floyd, seriously?
The Dark Side of the Moon.
They don't belong on there more than once.
Hey, look.
They're big, man, they're huge.
Pink Floyd is good.
Roger Waters put out, he had some good stuff.
And I understand that you've got a little jaded perception
of what they were, but they were truly musicians.
Yeah, I didn't realize they were that insanely popular.
They're huge.
Yeah.
Pink Floyd.
The Dark Side of the Moon was popular.
I mean, I enjoy the Pink Floyd.
You know, I mean.
Well, I need to go back and listen to it.
See, the thing about it is that Jeff kind of nailed it.
I forget what you said, what you call it.
It's like the whole album is.
A single story.
It's a concept album.
It's just, it's a story.
The whole album is a story.
There's not a song, it's like chapters of the song.
And the common theme runs all the way through the whole thing.
That's pretty cool.
I like it.
It's telling the whole story.
It's cool when you sit there and you're by yourself
and you just got the music going on in the background.
And you're thinking about how they wrote it
and how they worked the story.
It tells a story and you kind of imagine
your own movie in your head of what's actually happening.
Interesting.
So anyways, all right, let's go down to the top 10.
All right, number 10.
Now we're in the top 10.
Albums.
What?
I knew it was a set.
Are you kidding me?
Jagged, Little Pill.
Hey look, All I Really Want or Hand in My Pocket,
You Oughta Know was, look, there was one song.
No, she had a fantastic.
How many songs?
Oh, the whole album was popular.
Isn't a little ironic, don't you think?
Which it wasn't ironic at all.
You know, what's funny, well I don't know if it's funny.
Did you guys ever watch,
what's the show Bob Saget was on?
Oh, the funniest home video?
No, the family.
Oh, Full House?
No. Full House.
Oh, was it Full House?
Yes, so the brother on that, the blonde haired guy,
is the guy she's singing about in You Oughta Know.
They were dating.
Oh God.
Like the scratches down the back in the song?
Yes, I saw an interview with him going,
what'd you think when that song came out?
And he's like, well.
It was a bad breakup, what do I say?
Yeah, so it was about him.
Damn, how would you like to be that person?
I know.
Wouldn't all Taylor Swift on his ass.
Yeah, apparently they get along today.
Well you know what, the Atlantis more so,
first of all. Taylor Swift doesn't have
like a vengeance thing, does she?
Are you kidding me?
Does she?
No, I don't listen to music.
Yeah, she writes, I mean the whole thing,
and the whole joke about Taylor Swift.
Each album was a different breakup.
Yeah, when she gets separate from.
Every song is a breakup song?
Well no, but she writes a song about her ex boyfriend
when they do it wrong, and she like
drags them through the mud.
Interesting. Through their song.
But Atlantis more so was extremely popular.
I really like her voice, first of all.
I had no idea that she was that popular.
Number 10, all time?
All time.
That's incredible.
It says 16 million US sales, 24 nationwide.
Yeah.
She's riding that all the way to the bank, still.
Yeah, still.
Well. Forever, like forever.
Yeah, and she's a true woman.
I mean she's a little overweight,
and she's got just a beautiful, beautiful voice.
What?
What are you saying?
Where are you saying that she's overweight?
Is this like a new thing?
No, no, she's overweight.
She's traditionally overweight.
She wasn't back in the day.
She was almost nude in that song, ironic.
Well, I guess from 1995 she's blossomed.
I guess she hit her 120s.
That's so funny. I couldn't tell you
what she looks like. You pull out.
She's fat?
Well, Mr. Producer, humor us.
Pull up the latest picture of Atlantis more so.
She's gonna be like smoking hot.
No, no. Thin.
Bikini.
And look, I don't care.
I don't care. Super hot.
In a string bikini. That's not what's happening.
All right, come on. Hit us.
What does she look like now?
They always do that.
They say what do they look like now?
And they're so mean to do this.
Little image there. Boom.
Well, she doesn't look very fat there.
Yeah, I think you're thinking of somebody else.
No, I'm not. No, I'm not.
No, she's very pear-shaped.
No, I'm not.
All right, you know what? Whatever.
Whatever, I don't care.
She's a beautiful singer.
She's pregnant there.
She's got a beautiful face.
I don't have anything negative to say about her,
but she did get a little overweight.
She's a pretty lady.
Yeah, very pretty.
Yeah, very, very, very much.
She's not fat.
And you know what else I like about her?
She's not fat at all.
Oh, there's one right there.
Far left in the middle.
Yep, yep, she was sucking on
those little yogurt bottles, you know?
Oh, whatever.
Yeah, far right on the right-hand side.
There we go.
Maybe that's what you're talking about.
No, no, I don't think that's her.
Yeah, it is her.
No, that isn't.
Oh, come on.
Oh, God, maybe it is.
Oh, God, you got it.
Check out that man. Check out that man.
Battling postpartum protection.
That was right after a baby.
Oh, yeah, you can't.
You're an ass, come on.
How do you know?
It says.
That's outrageous.
You're body shaming her after she literally just had a baby.
I literally just said, okay.
We said she was talented and beautiful.
Number nine, top-selling albums.
Mr. Producer, scroll it down.
We said she's talented and beautiful,
and you're like, she's fat.
Here it is.
Number nine.
So I wasn't expecting this.
Dee-Lee.
Adele.
I like Adele.
She's got some good music.
She battled weight for a long time,
and then she went on those.
She looks terrific right now.
She does.
Well, she went on those, what do you call them?
Those pills that.
The shots.
The Atkins.
No, the OxyContin.
No, the.
OxyContin, she's on meth.
Ozempic.
Does she have Ozempic face?
Yes, well, no, but a lot of people
don't have Ozempic face.
They just.
That's a bad stuff.
You shouldn't take that for weight loss.
A lot of people do.
Doesn't mean it right.
A lot of people do, and they look great.
And it causes problems too.
So Adele is, I don't have a whole lot to say about her.
I don't really know a lot about her.
I know that her music is fun, and I do like it.
I'll sing along with a bunch of it, but.
She's a, yeah, she's a pretty talented.
It's kind of outside my box.
I listen to her quite a bit.
Does she listen, does she write her own stuff?
Yes.
See, I have so much respect for that,
just like Taylor Swift.
I respect that.
So it says, all the wisdom that comes with old age,
British alt soul prodigy Adele Atkins, debut 19,
was stunning in spots, earning both a watchful eye
from critics and should have been a hunger,
or a huger hit in single, Chasing Pavements,
that perfectly demonstrates what makes her offbeat charm
so appealing.
A panache for gigantic hooks, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Whatever, so you know.
I need to listen to more of, I don't know.
I'm surprised.
I could probably name like one song.
No, she's got some good stuff on this album.
I would go say, look, if you guys were to say,
hey, can I show anyone else the Adele concert?
I'd be like, you fags.
Yeah, I'll go.
Yep.
I would.
I'll go, I'll go, because you know what?
She has a beautiful voice, and I'll go with this.
And the thing is, if you hear her talk,
it's like a real thick cock British accent.
Like, yeah, I'm going to the factory.
And it doesn't come through in the music at all.
No, not at all.
It's crazy.
All right.
Isn't that fascinating how that happens?
How they can mask, it doesn't come through.
Accents don't come through when they sing so much.
That is interesting.
Yeah, all different artists.
Okay, number eight.
Oh.
ACD.
Boom.
Shoot, I said bullshit.
Ba da da.
Yeah, great album, man.
Yeah.
Oh.
Ah, ah, ah.
Ba da da.
Boom.
Good stuff.
1980.
Every song on that album is great.
My dear black.
Hell's Bells is probably my favorite.
It's sad.
Yeah, I've listened to this whole album.
I like Give It A Dog A Bone.
Ooh, Shoot The Thrill.
Give me a dog a bone.
There's so many good songs on this album.
You shook me up.
Now that lead singer is dead, right?
No.
This is the first album with the new singer,
Brian Johnson.
New singer, and he's still the singer?
Yes.
Wow.
The previous singer was
Bonds Scott. He died of acute alcohol poisoning.
He threw up on his, he choked on his puke.
Oh, that's sad.
Bonds Scott.
And then this album came out,
and obviously it's themed, right?
Back in Black.
Yeah, no.
Okay, what does that mean?
You're wearing black, right?
Kind of.
Like you're going to funeral morning.
Kind of a mid-morning kind of a thing.
They were mourning the lead singer?
Yeah, because he died a year prior to this, maybe.
Oh, okay.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, and then they went crazy.
Like this album put them, like,
I don't want to say on the map, but like.
Yeah, it kind of did.
It kind of did.
Yeah.
Yeah, there were a bunch.
I mean, Crocus is kind of,
and they came out at the same time in
Crocus.
Oh, dude, Crocus.
You know, they were the worst.
Balls of the Wallas, except.
Yeah, well, who did Crocus?
Music in the, yeah, I know which one you're talking about.
Good stuff.
It's a great album.
The whole genre there,
but ACDC kind of stepped above them,
and they kicked ass.
I would not, I understand why,
because ACDC is kind of a,
again, I think of my DJ time
where I would have some venue,
and I would play certain songs that are popular,
and you have what they call power songs,
and you gotta have those power songs,
and Back in Black is a power song.
Oh, yeah.
You know, when you play with some of those songs,
bam, that's like, oh my God.
Da da da da da,
and people get out there and they dance,
and they have a good time.
Oh, yeah.
It's a power song, so yes, it's part of that.
It's kind of like, you know,
how stupid Christmas songs that are retarded any time,
but they make that mark,
they're part of the season now.
Right.
So, you know, I mean.
This is what I grew up listening to, ACDC.
Good stuff.
Shit like the Scorpions.
There's not a lot of Australian bands, right?
I mean, this one in Inexcess, maybe?
Bee Gees. And Air Supply.
Oh, hold on, the Bee Gees were Australian?
The Bee Gees, you didn't hear that?
No, I missed that.
They were English, they were living in Australia,
and then they moved back to England.
So they're English, that didn't count.
Correct.
They started in Australia,
but they moved to England to get big.
Paul wasn't paying attention.
All right.
What's number seven?
I'm challenging.
Fleetwood Mac, Rumors.
Fleetwood Mac, good band.
You know what?
One of my drives back from Brian,
I listened to nothing but Fleetwood Mac,
because I was like,
I bet you there's a whole bunch of shit I don't know.
And it was interesting.
I didn't mind it.
So Fleetwood Mac with, what's her name?
Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks.
So.
And Chris.
I don't know if Rumors.
I gotta think.
She did recently.
They have such a unique sound.
She's got such a beautiful voice.
I don't recall.
I wish they had some of the songs on the album here.
Sweet 17 comes to mind with Stevie Nicks.
You make loving fun.
Yeah, I mean, she's got a beautiful voice.
And at the time, that album came out,
at the same time that you had Heart that was popular.
So you had the same fans that were strumming that.
Tom Petty, you could put in the same.
In fact, I think Tom Petty performed with her,
and they did a duet together, right?
Yeah, they did, actually.
Just got dragging my heart around, right?
Right.
She also did one with Leather and Lace with Don Henley.
Oh, yes, yes.
That is a great one.
I really enjoy,
I enjoy Stevie Nicks across the board.
I mean, her and her witch thing.
But I don't even think she's the main singer
of Fleetwood Mac.
It's Christie.
Or, no, they split.
Plus, Lindsay Buckingham would sing some songs as well.
Is that the dude?
He's a guiderist.
Guiderist?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, they had a great sound.
They have, are they, no, they're done.
I think after Christie died.
Well, they were a highly dysfunctional band
because Christie McVie and the bass player were married.
They got divorced during this time.
And Stevie Nicks was dating,
they may have been married to Lindsay Buckingham,
which caused all kinds of strife.
You can't fish off the band peer.
Yeah, so.
So there's lots of drama and high dysfunction
during a lot of this time.
All right, what's next?
Oh, that's good stuff.
All right, number six.
Number six.
Oh, wow.
Bodyguard sound.
First of all, Whitney Houston.
Gorgeous.
All right, the Bodyguard,
you guys are gonna make fun of me,
but the Bodyguard movie with, who was the?
Kevin Costner.
Tatanka.
I gotta tell you, that is one of my favorite movies
and I haven't seen it in a while,
but I really enjoyed that.
I think I've seen it once.
No, I didn't.
It's My Father in Life is your favorite movie?
Shame on you.
It's My Father in Life's favorite movie.
No, I just, it's a good solid movie.
Yeah, it is.
I liked it for a couple reasons.
I liked the fact that because Kevin Costner
was, had a thing for a black woman.
And I think first of all, that is,
that's awesome for what it is.
What about Eraser?
I also think that,
I also. You came out about the same time?
I also. Oh my God.
I just, I think it was a sign of the times
and I think it says a lot.
And what it did is that it kind of,
this is the type of stuff we need.
We need to normalize race and.
I don't disagree with that.
It kind of blend the shit together.
First of all, she has such a beautiful voice.
And it is a. She did.
It's tragic.
And her daughter died the same way.
It's horrible.
And frankly, I blame the,
I'm not blaming Bobby Brown,
but I'm blaming Bobby Brown syndrome
of the lifestyle that she lived.
Had she never met him,
she would probably still be alive.
Who knows? You don't know.
We don't know.
You also have commando.
What?
That's where Arnold went after Ray Dong Chong.
She's black, right?
Thank you, Jeff.
What's going on though?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There were a lot of movies back then
that had that theme.
It did. It did.
They did.
And you know what?
And I wish they would have continued that.
Did you like those movies as well?
I did.
Like Eraser was pretty good.
And it was fine.
It was, there was no issues.
But it was a real deal.
And the thing about the Whitney,
he was the bodyguard.
It was her own sister.
What? Put a hit on her.
Did you ever see the bodyguard?
Oh, spoiler alert.
Too soon?
I was gonna see it.
Spoiler alert.
I was gonna see it, but now there's no point.
I'm every woman and the queen of the night.
Queen of the night.
I definitely have not listened to the soundtrack.
No, I have not.
It's interesting that that's number six.
I mean, can you just think about this?
Number six all time?
Are you kidding me?
I don't know.
All right, what's next?
All right, well that's popular.
Well, first of all, I Will Always Love You
was like a number one song for months.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, Dolly, that was a Dolly song.
It was a Dolly, but she took it up to the next level.
Now number five.
What is it?
Number five.
I agree with this.
This is down to right in my wheelhouse.
Great album.
Na na na na na na.
Great.
Hey hey mama, like the way you move.
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.
Let's do that.
Na na na na na na na.
The 1971 label is Atlantic.
It's proposed 29 million, $23 million in US sales.
I'll tell you my thoughts on Led Zeppelin.
First of all, they're all individually excellent artists.
The guitarist.
Groundbreaking.
The drummer, okay.
John Bonham.
The way they wrote the music, I don't know.
I can't explain it to you in sheet music wise,
but it was some of the most complicated stuff
that people couldn't even redo it.
There weren't tribute bands
that were able to produce the same sound.
It's only recently people are kinda like,
the talent's getting better and better
where they can do it.
Their timing is impeccable.
Interesting.
Impeccable timing and it's a piece of work
and they don't get enough credit
because they're classified as a rock band
and they don't get enough credit
that the work that they did were masterpieces.
They really were when it comes to the instruments
they were playing at the time.
The fact they were probably all doped up at the same time.
Oh yeah, big time.
I bet, I consider him one of the best singers out there.
Robert Plant. Robert Plant.
Back in the day, today, no, but back in the day,
he's there, he's bluesy, he's got some soul.
Definitely unique sound.
Oh, I like the, what was the, was he on the Drifters?
Do you remember? The Honeydrippers.
Will remember.
Yeah, the drums for what they did when the Levy breaks,
they recorded that in a big castle
and they set up the drums in a huge stairwell.
So all that reverb and the drums sound huge
and that's all natural castle reverb
that you hear on that.
I'm kind of embarrassed to ask.
I would recognize that song, right?
Yeah, it opens up with some big drums.
Like that's just boom.
I'm trying to think of it.
What is the name of the song?
I need to go back and listen to that.
Listen to When the Levy Breaks.
When the Levy Breaks.
I know Led Zeppelin. When the Levy Breaks.
I know Led Zeppelin II was a great album, or III,
maybe it was III.
IV, I don't know, I don't know if I'm that familiar with it.
Just pop in and we'll see what happens here.
I have no idea what this is, I forget what we got.
All right, so When the Levy Breaks.
Why does it say Mother Shit?
There you go, you remember to recognize that, right?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, absolutely recognizes this song.
Yeah, that's good stuff.
All right, hit pause, there you go.
YouTube's all over that shit, man, they catch you.
It's oh, I heard three seconds, you're disqualified
and you're disqualified and you're disqualified.
I thought it was 20 seconds.
It doesn't fucking matter.
Don't take it.
They change the rules all the time.
Number four.
Shania.
Shania Twain.
Great album.
This woman is not as talented as the numbers project,
or the real numbers.
I mean, the money.
She was so hot though.
She is hot, she was super popular,
and she does sing good, but she kind of reminds me
of Taylor Swift.
But you know, she's a sign of the times, super popular,
but she's not super talented, but yeah, she's beautiful.
And she crossed over, meaning she made country be
very pop, it's poppy.
Yes, appeal to the pop industry.
Oh man, all the women loved her.
Man, I feel like a woman.
Oh, now what would they say?
What does that mean?
What are you saying?
Transphobe.
Take the bloodline.
Whatever.
It was a great album.
All right, number three.
That don't impress me much.
The Eagles.
Number three.
There you go.
Great album.
Hottle California.
Hotel California Eagles.
The Eagles, now, the Eagles are in a classification
all by themselves.
Yeah.
You know, these guys, they didn't even know
how talented they were.
They really didn't.
It took a producer to sit down with them
and kind of pull their talent together.
Like the Seven Bridges Road song
where they're doing the harmonies
and the acapella kind of style stuff.
You know, they didn't even know they could do that.
They were all shocked.
They were all sincerely shocked on how awesome they sound.
Seven Brothers Road, Seven Bridges Road,
it's a testimony of the vocals.
But it's not on that album, right?
Maybe, I don't remember what album it was on.
Hotel California, I don't know.
Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's on.
You know, we all know the classics of the Eagles,
but I don't know them well enough to know,
oh yeah, that was on that album
and that was on that album.
Well, it was on the, so they have an Eagles live album.
The Eagles live album is, it's a double album back there.
It's the greatest hits.
Yeah, it is the greatest hit.
I bet that's coming up.
I bet it's, yeah.
I bet it is too, man.
It's Rock Salt Nails album is what it was.
Well, the Eagles, fantastic.
Don Henley, who are the rest of them?
Joe Walsh, Glenn Fry.
Glenn Fry.
Oh, New Kid in Town, great album.
I mean, great song.
A famously called the band's early sound,
a plastic dry fuck.
Wow.
Life in the Fast Lane.
Interesting.
Yeah, those guys were something else, man.
They came out in the, they, you know,
their whole storyline, I don't know,
is it a documentary or some sort of story?
They have a really good story to tell.
Yeah, there's a documentary out there.
They got catapulted into fame
and it was like by fucking accident
and, you know, of course, everything in life
is just like by chance.
You never know what's gonna happen.
Yeah, it really is.
Like Taken It Easy was written by Jackson Brown
to a point and he couldn't finish it,
so he gave it to Don Henley and Glenn Fry
and they finished the song.
No way. I didn't know that.
What a great story. No way.
That's crazy.
Did he get 75% of the royalties?
I don't know.
I'm sure maybe he got something, but.
Probably an eight ball.
Number two.
Eagles, there you go, great hits.
Damn, back to back, three and two.
Well, you know what?
That is a fantastic greatest hits album.
It is and I'm actually, man, that is really good.
The Best of My Love.
I mean, 41 million.
That's amazing.
I think we take a bet on what number one is.
I know what it is, I bet.
It was my guess first.
So let's think about this.
My guess is Thriller.
Probably.
That is an excellent guess.
It hasn't been on here.
Oh, they already showed it.
That was bad.
No, but they showed it in the very, very beginning.
They showed Michael Jackson.
But hold on, hold on.
It's there.
But we have other.
Who would beat that?
Yeah, Michael Jackson was.
There's nobody beating that.
That album Thriller was something else, man.
Yeah, let's do it, Mr. Producer.
Number one.
Michael Jackson Thriller, 1982.
For every now and then, an album comes along
that we can all agree upon.
It's impossible to talk about the music of the 80s
without mentioning this watershed record
of the King of Pop.
Quincy Jones produced in 82.
It's the transcend of all the fans of demographics.
All love it.
110 million copies sold.
$33 million.
That is 110 million dollars.
What does that 33 million suggest?
33 million albums sold?
No, it says 110 million copies sold,
but it says 33 million.
It doesn't make sense.
No, it doesn't.
Certified sales, 47 million.
U.S. sales, 33, but in the body it says 110 million.
All right, paste.
Yeah, whatever.
So, and rightfully so.
Look, Michael Jackson was above and beyond.
He was a patriot in the music industry.
It's unfortunate he died.
Well, yeah, it's not just the fact that he died,
but it's the story that came on the coattails
of him dying that were unearthed,
whether they're true or not, we don't know.
I want to say that they're not.
I hope they're not, but it doesn't look very good for him.
But you gotta think, I mean, how many music artists,
actors, actresses, whatever, have suspect stuff going on
in their lives that were kinda like,
eh, you know, that's okay.
We're still gonna think he had the best movie in the world.
He's a dark industry man.
Like Hollywood, California, fame, and Woody Allen.
Woody Allen is a really dark,
a dark, Corey Feldman.
Yeah, just getting a little less, you know,
there's just a lot of dark stuff going on.
Yes, just think about if you had all the money in the world,
all the connections in the world,
and you surrounded yourself with people that like.
Would do anything and give you anything.
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
How many times would any of us just make mistakes?
Right?
I mean.
Yeah, but I don't think I'd go,
I wanna stare into the butthole of a seven-year-old.
No, no, well, okay, I'm not.
You know?
I'm just saying in general, that's a dark.
But that's what the accusations were.
Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, child abuse.
That movie was damning, whether it's true or not,
but it's just like, yeah.
And there was a comedian
that was talking about Michael Jackson,
and he was saying, look, if you want to attract
certain types of things, you know,
a predator would like, you know,
offer a kid ice cream and do this.
Michael Jackson had a goddamn amusement park.
Yeah.
He had a movie theater room with candy and a,
he had kids spending the night.
He had parents staying in the west wing of his house.
Oh, he's gonna be okay, we're gonna sleep in pajamas.
He's a grown-ass man.
What kind of mental deficiencies does a grown-ass man have?
That's what they were arguing, that he was a child.
Well, he had the mental capacity of a child.
I don't agree with that.
I disagree with that.
I think he may have missed his.
He may have emotional capacity of a child.
I don't know.
Maybe, I don't know.
We'll never know.
He had a really weird childhood, right?
Well, he had no childhood.
Well, he was adult enough to take fentanyl.
Yeah.
Well, the doctor gave him that.
He overdosed on it.
Was it fentanyl?
Yeah.
I thought it was propofol.
Yeah, no, no, no, it was a horse tranquilizer.
Yeah, I thought it was something else.
Yeah, he died of an overdose of a horse tranquilizer.
Now, wasn't, how different was that from Prince?
Prince was fentanyl.
Prince was fentanyl?
Yep.
Yeah, he opened it up on his, yeah, propofol.
50, 50 years old.
Yeah, that's just a crying shame.
And Prince, you're sure, was fentanyl.
That's what they said.
Yeah, it's just.
He died on a plane.
He was dead when he landed.
The whole thing is that these artists become
so overwhelmed with life around them
and they need to disconnect
and they don't know how to disconnect.
So they take these drugs to disconnect.
Yeah, he asked the doctor for harder and harder stuff
to help him sleep and he eventually went so hard
that he killed him, the doctor killed him.
Yeah.
That was 100% on the doctor, in my opinion.
Well, he got arrested and tried for that.
Yeah, they let him go.
They didn't let him be.
They didn't find him guilty.
Well, that's what.
They stripped him away of his license.
Right.
Whenever I see, you know, Taylor Swift's the biggest thing,
when I'm watching the Super Bowl,
I talk to my wife and she's like,
I wouldn't want that life.
I would not either.
Where everything you do is captured and scrutinized,
you don't have time to yourself.
Right.
Unless you just turn into a hermit.
And you can't trust anybody around you necessarily.
Everybody who's around you wants something from you
unless they were a friend before you became famous.
Right, right.
I mean, having the money would be great.
So imagine just not trusting anyone.
Having the money would be great,
but the popularity where everybody wants to be in your shit,
I would have no desire for that.
I was watching.
There was some video clips of Taylor Swift
getting on the football field after the game.
And she's got, she has a swarm of security guys.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, it's.
I mean, everybody would want to.
It's kind of crazy.
I mean, and you don't really even see them
until like there's an obstruction.
There's like a guy with a yellow vest on,
part of the staff.
He's got a camera and he comes in front of her.
Like he gets like within four feet.
And all of a sudden some guy just kind of moves him along
and just kind of whisks him away.
And it's just like.
And he's never seen again.
Just pieces of him.
Yeah.
Oh God.
He's like, God damn dude.
I'm just saying.
Taylor Swift is killing people.
Yes.
Buried in the backyard.
All right, well this is interesting.
I was, I kind of anticipated this, all these albums.
I was thinking there was a couple that were left off
that I would have included.
What say you, Paul?
What would you have included on there
as some of the top selling albums?
I would have thought there would have been more Beatles.
I mean, the only album they talked about with the Beatles.
No, no, they had two.
They had two, I'm sorry.
Sergeant Peppers was number 25.
And the number one,
which was the number one hits in the UK.
So no, I retract.
I was expecting more, but no, that was it.
I'm thinking the heyday of the album sales
was probably the 70s and 80s.
I would think there'd be like Kiss may have been on there.
Yeah, yeah, they're gonna make it one.
Maybe like New Kids on the Block.
They were.
I'm surprised Neil Diamond wasn't on there, to be honest.
Neil Diamond was huge in that time, during that time.
No?
Well, I wonder how far back they go.
Like do. 71.
One, well I know, but do they go back to the 60s?
I didn't see any 60s bands on there.
Yeah, no, I didn't.
Yeah, but the problem is that in the 60s,
the albums weren't very much.
So the sales.
They didn't say.
They were a nickel.
These were units.
This isn't dollars.
Yeah. 47 million records.
All right, so the 110 million copies of the single
were sold probably, perhaps.
I don't know. Interesting.
Quincy Jones produced the 1982 classic,
was able to transcend genre and appeal to fans
of all demographics.
It's not surprised that it remains
the best selling record of all time,
with 110 million copies sold.
Well, you know who their session players were
on that band, right?
Yeah.
Toto. Eddie Van Halen.
Yeah. Well, Eddie Van Halen did the solo.
But Steve Lukather did all the guitars.
Nice. Toto.
Well, Steve Lukather and Jeff Pacaro was the drummer.
So I also did a two hour thing of nothing but Toto songs
on my drive back from Brian.
And there's some good ones.
Great album.
Yeah, I saw an interview.
I just said, give me all, just shuffle Toto.
Yeah, I saw an interview with Steve Lukather
and Sammy Hagar was interviewing him, strangely enough.
And he said, on Beat It, they actually recorded
the Eddie Van Halen solo first.
And they had to develop and play the song around that.
And Steve Lukather played the guitar on it and the bass.
Amazing. On Beat It.
Amazing.
How cool would it be that musically talented
and you're in a studio and you're.
Well, you get in these circles,
you get in these jam sessions.
Yeah.
You're just playing with each other
and you're just having a good time.
How freaking awesome would that be?
To be that talented.
Hey, let's do this.
Let's do that.
And when you get in some of these studios
and these studios with these guys have are.
Amazing.
Oh, they're off the charts.
I mean, you can't hear, I mean, you're ready to rock and roll.
I mean, especially if you got the talent.
You got the talent to sing, you got the talent to play.
Yeah, and you're like, hey.
Come in, play, you know, each sharp fly.
Let's let's do that.
Do this part of the day a couple of times.
Yeah, let's do it drums.
And then you start developing your own step.
I mean, if you've got the tools at your disposal,
you can do it, you know, and you.
It's kind of like this podcast.
We're trying to get the tools at our disposal.
And eventually the talent that we've got.
Oh, the talent.
The talent is just.
There's no question about the talent.
It's overwhelming.
Talent is off the freak.
Using our talent.
All right, so the talent,
we are enjoying our second half.
Burman, yes.
Yes, we are.
Jeff, walk us through this.
This is one of my favorites.
I think it's one of all of our favorites.
Going back to one of the very first ones.
It's a go to for sure.
Rare Breed by Wild Turkey.
Yeah, barrel proof.
116.8.
Highly recommend.
It's about 50 bucks, 45 to 50 bucks.
And that's the thing that just makes it
that much more attractive.
Not only is it an outstanding bourbon with a great proof,
it's very affordable.
Yeah, it is.
And they've got different years.
They've got a six year, eight year, 12 year bourbon.
You know, so it just depends on which one.
All of them are good.
You know, you can get a six year bourbon.
And the price range
can get a little higher for the 12 year.
Man, this is a blend.
No, is that what this is?
Unless it's a blend of a six, eight and a 12 year.
I read that completely wrong.
Yeah, 116.8 proof.
That's fucking top notch.
Yes, top notch.
I enjoyed this turkey.
Yeah.
The rare breed.
I give this an eight.
Yeah.
All day long.
I give it a seven, nine.
Seven, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine.
Yeah, give it a seven, nine, nine, nine.
I don't want to put it in the eight category.
But I'll get as close as I can to it.
I would definitely put it in eight.
I'd give it an eight even.
Yeah, it's been a long time since I've had this.
I was afraid that our palette had changed.
Where we taste as we go, this is still top notch.
You're a fishers?
Almost.
You're an animal.
Salud guys, dudes like us, happy February.
Yes, absolutely.
We've got a birthday party coming up this weekend.
The wife turns the big five.
The big five, oh, I'm excited.
We're ready to roll on this one.
Yeah, I've got your Terra coasters downstairs.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's some exciting stuff coming up.
By the way, that was Austin's.
Damn, the weather.
Austin's concept.
The weather has changed.
I mean, we're dropping into 70s and 80s
for the next couple weeks.
We are?
Yeah, it's good weather.
It was 83, 81 today?
I had to travel to Texarkana yesterday
and do my job out there. 70 degrees right now.
And I had to climb up on an apartment complex
roofing system and it was like 78 degrees.
I know, it was great.
Beautiful.
It's beautiful.
The fuck, man.
78 on Thursday, 80 degrees next Tuesday.
I know.
It's fucking February.
I know, it's crazy.
That'll change.
I don't know what's going on.
I blame Greta Thunberg.
I do too.
That whore.
That bitch.
Wow.
She's a whore.
She's a child.
Not anymore.
She's not anymore, have you seen her?
She's developed.
Oh, gross.
Oh my God.
What?
I'm gonna throw up in my mouth.
She's developed, like what?
Pubes?
I mean, I hurt my curve vulva.
Well, you like that word, don't you?
What?
That's like the fifth time you said vulva.
That is absolutely not.
Mr. Peele just read carded me.
It was, who, me?
No, he just read carded me
because of Greta Thunberg.
Oh, good.
All I'm saying is that.
Good, finally.
God, that's so overdue.
All I'm saying is that.
A red card for Sean is so overdue.
I am totally, I support you a million percent,
Mr. Producer, well done.
Well done.
You know what, you pull up a picture of Greta Thunberg.
She is a beautiful young woman.
Oh, she is not.
I disagree, she's weird looking.
She is weird looking,
but there's nothing wrong with weird.
I blame her parents for fucking her up.
Poor girl, she never had a chance.
She is highly homely.
Highly homely?
Yes.
What?
Guy, don't be mean.
She is not unattractive.
She reminds me of the,
you ever seen Ghostbusters?
Do you remember the guy in the painting?
How old is she?
The Ghostbusters, the guy in the painting.
She looks like a female version of the guy in the painting.
Of which one?
Ghostbusters?
Of Ghostbusters, remember?
What the hell?
She's 21. She's 21.
Actually, she might be 22 now.
Scroll back up, what was the date of this article?
One week ago.
Was it really?
That's what it said.
She's 21.
21W.
She's highly homely.
According to you.
Whatever, whatever.
I don't give a fuck.
It's not like I'm trying to get at her.
And meanwhile, Sean's like,
oh, she's developed.
She's so developed.
She's curvy.
She's so developed.
Mr. Austin, Mr. Producer,
we're so out of here.
Thank you very much for your endeavor.
Thank you for the red card, dick.
