269. Kanye West: Yeezus (2013)

Beck Did It Better ·

2026/02/17

We are talking about the last Kanye album on the list and it is a tough listen so we eventually talk Hootie and the Blowfish. We talk singing songs at the retirement home, Rosie's best day ever at Glowfari, and Russell meets a guy who is smart enough to realize how smart Russell is. Then we have the Vegas awards and we talk about this Kanye album that probably should have been a tip off that something was up. Then we get so depressed that we listen to some Hootie as a palate cleanser. Next

Wow. I was just looking at the last couple of Months and we have missed a lot of episodes. I'm not going to lie, I was in London, so this is my fault. This is Feb 3rd, so it is the day the music died, and this podcast always celebrates this solemn day with a respectful discussion. We talk about flavor savers (time is a flat circle), and then I play a bad parody song and then drop the hammer Russ style with a good one. This is all of the episode I listened t,o but I started with a Big Johnson

LIVE FROM VEGAS..... We sat in a hotel room and touched fingers and talked about an album that we did not give enough time to.

Then we break down the California punk Band The Minutemen and we sample a few songs off of the album because we had to get to the buffet. Next week we talk about Randy Newman

2026/01/03

Listen. I know I released this already ,but for some reason it didn't come out on Apple Podcasts so I am releasing it again to see if that works. This is the episode from when we still enjoyed the podcast so much that we were adding episodes and for this one we covered Rolling Stone's list of the greatest rock Christmas songs of all time. It has the first 12 days of Christmas songs on it and is not a bad episode but we were all up to our elbows with family stuff and Pink Floyd does not exactly

AUDIO FIXED. Thanks to our fans for pointing this out to me in lots of texts. I loved it. Hey everyone. We are getting double teamed by the Beatles this week and it might make us cream our eyes out. We combined these two albums so we don't go insane. I wish I would have done the history of the album before each one but we still get to hear about Flavor Savers, the Best Christmas Movies, and having sharp bones. We talk about the benefits of breaking up, we talk to Beck Claus, and reflect back on

We talk about our various types of whips, the worst airplane movies, and Rob tries to talk Pat O'Brien. Then we sing along with Snow and go on a comment rabbit hole. Rob goes on a winning streak, Matt talks inflatables, and Big Daddy takes on the big Easy.

2025/12/02

Listen. We know you are not here to hear what we have to say. You are here because you are HUGE The Slits fans. We get a pleasureable voicemail where Russ has to face his greatest letdowns, Aaron tells his most pathetic story ever, and we ask if there are any good restaurants in Edina that won't make you wait! Then we talk about the Slits and the best female punk bands from Kurt Cobain's journal. Next week we are talking Beastie Boys: Check your Head! 802 277 BECK

We talk about one of the greatest voices of our generation and of course I am talking about Russ and why he won't come to NYC for thanksiving (being forced to go to parades.)We are talking about Janis Joplin- Pearl and we are blown away by the album. Great music, great voice, and just like Matt's love- language, the album is a touching tribute to a singer who died before the release. Aaron went to an 85 yeart olds birthday party and Rob is being disrepectful. Then we talk our favorite port

We are talking about Coats of Many Colors and we become a great Dolly Parton podcast when we talk about her 1971 breakout hit.

I would like to report a crime. That this is so low on this list! (High number) We listen to folky Bob Dylan and it whips ass! Before we become the 1 millionth podcast to (barely) talk Bob Dylan we have a few other very important things to talk about. We talk gambling, the death of Single Russell, we get a voicemail about Taylor Swift, and Matt and Rob's time in the city. Then we get into the scariest songs according to Billboard Magazine, Paul McCartney Live, and candy packs. Then we

Hello, one more ep for D'Angelo but as I was listening to this, I realized what a canon episode this is. Shoplifting from the airport, going to watch the State of the Union Address, plus a Big Bopper call. I also left all of Russell's original notes in the episode because they are brilliant. We are the world. We are children. We are the ones who make the best podcast about D'Angelo and the 183rd greatest album of all time, Brown Sugar, so you should start listening.1 Before we get to the
