Speaker 1: I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant. Say something. Um, yeah,

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even say say something funny. I just said

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: say something I know. Frozen. Yeah, it's all right, man.

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: That's good quality in a broadcaster to freeze up on

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: the air and a professional talker. Yeah, yeah, how you

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: doing was great? Freezing? Um? I'm good man. I'm This

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: is a fun, goofy little topic and we haven't done

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: one like that in a while. This was a fun

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: article written by a guy named Charles W. Bryant, the

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: writer for the site. Yeah, I will go ahead and

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 1: say one thing I was disappointed in in this article,

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: and I would still like to see someone tackle this

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: in documentary style. Maybe is the psychology of being a

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: one hit wonder? Oh, like what it does to your psyche? Yeah?

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: Is it better to have that one hit and fade

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: away and at least you had that? Or is it

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: better to have never? You know? I just I would

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: be real curious to see a series of interviews with

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: one hit wonders to see like how they feel about it.

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: You're saying, is it better to have hit and lost

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: than never to have hit at all? Exactly? And I

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: couldn't really find anything on that. So I'm sure there's

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: one or two who like, listen to the podcast, and

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: if you do, right in, let us know how it is.

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 1: We're interested. Loue Bega, Yeah, the very least lou Vega listens,

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: the fake loue Vega. So, Chuck, I wanted to commend

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: you for this article because you really like this is

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: a tough one for With how stuff works articles, we

38
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: typically take a topic that is, you know, has a

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: lot of research done on it, it's very well defined,

40
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: and then we deconstruct it. This one is like I

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: looked on the internet and if you type in one

42
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: hit wonder, there is like zero scholarly work done on

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: it for good reason. Yeah, well, I mean it's interesting

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: though too. Like you brought up the psychology of being

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: a one there shouldn't been anyone ever done a study

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: like that. There is nothing. It's all just lists. And

47
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: I actually did find one good website. It's called um

48
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: one Hit Wonder Central dot Com and they have everything

49
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: and you can play like every song they have it

50
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: by years who the one hit wonder was from like

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the sixties to the two thousand's, maybe fifties. There are

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: some of the greatest songs to me, or some of

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: the one hit Wonders. And I mean that's the points,

54
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Like you know, one hit Wonder is just something that

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: everybody liked at one time. We just didn't like whatever

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: else they were making, right, Um, at least as a

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: large collective group. Anyway, back to me commending you, Um,

58
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: you had to take something that was really amorphous that

59
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: everybody knew and we knew if you got wrong, and

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: whipping into shape like a definable shape, and you got

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: it right. I think you did a great job. So Um.

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: The first thing you pointed out was that no one

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: is certain of the origin of this phrase. That's right,

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: but we figured out that it was it first came

65
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: in print. Right, Well, that's what phrases dot org says,

66
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find anything to dispute it. But a

67
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: writer there wrote the sentence in July seventy seven about

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Abba instead of becoming what everyone expected a one hit wonder,

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: they soon had a string of hits behind them. And

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: although the website phrase dot org does say it appears

71
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: to have already been a used phrase, but this is

72
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: the first time they've seen it in print, right, and

73
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: and so, and there actually is like a definition for

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: one hit wonder, like there's well, a hit, I guess

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: you define a hit, and then it's got to be

76
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: on the because we're so American centric, has to be

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: on the billboard top and then specifically in the top

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: forty to be considered a hit. Right, Yeah, technically for

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: like when most people like there have been books written

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: about one hit wonders and that's usually what what they say. Okay,

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: so that wasn't just you or anything saying. And I

82
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: thought it was a great definition. No, it's a good definition,

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: but that's the generally held definition. But then that's where

84
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: it gets really blurry. As we're about to find out right, Well,

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: in many ways, I mean, yeah, you make a point

86
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of one hit wonders by that definition.

87
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: Who are legendary musicians like Jimi Hendrix one hit, Janis

88
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: Joplin one hit, Garth Brooks as Chris Gaines. Yeah, that's

89
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: this only Billboard hit. Yeah, this is only Billboard Top

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: forty hit. Yeah, but he had country hits, just lived

91
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: on the country top ten. But yeah, as in the

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: mainstream top forty. His only hit was Chris Kayes with

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: the haircut and the soul patch Man. That was Yeah,

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what the song that was even I

95
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: don't um beck Yeah, the Dead, The Dead, the White Stripes,

96
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: lou Reid, Iggy pop Divo, some like iconic bands and

97
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: musicians that have only had one hit. Um. And then

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: you've got artists who never had that hit but are

99
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: still considered one hit wonders. Because what you end up

100
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: realizing is, despite the definition of what a hit is,

101
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: a one hit wonder is something different. It's just an

102
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: artist and a song who captured something for a moment

103
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: in time. It doesn't matter if it was a top

104
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: forty hit. Right like you you say, um, Wallavoodoo's Mexican Radio. Absolutely,

105
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: it's not a top forty hit. No, but that's definitely

106
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: a hit. Sure in the zeitgeist did you put it? Absolutely?

107
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: Who else? I'll melt with you Modern English, the Weather Girls,

108
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: it's raining man, Like you would say, all of these

109
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: are definitely one hit wonders, and none of them had

110
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: top forty hits. Right, So, but sticking to the strict definition,

111
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: um that, I mean that still works too. Write like

112
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: the Penguins, Earth Angel. Yeah, in the fifties, right, Um,

113
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: in the sixties you had um Summertime Blues by Blue Cheer,

114
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: but they really spent blue on like their one there,

115
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: one thing there, one shot was covered in blue. Blue

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Cheer did Summertime Blues? Green tambourine? Remember that song? No,

117
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I didn't mean tambourine. It was very like psychedelic No

118
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: and the Lemon Pipers. You know. It's one of those

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: songs where sort of like h in the seventies, Argents,

120
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: hold your head up like everybody knows that song. But

121
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: I bet ninety nine people out of a hundred I've

122
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: never heard of the band Argent. No, they probably think, oh,

123
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: wasn't that The guests who or wasn't that in Joe Dirt?

124
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: Or yes, wasn't that in? Was it? Yeah? Really I

125
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: never saw that movie. What I never saw Joe Dirt?

126
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh man, such a great like keep your Chin up

127
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: movie is so good. Like I really can hate David Spade,

128
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: you can hate all of that kind of comedy, but

129
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: that movie has such like it's got heart, it's a

130
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: cute movie. Well, I had friends. It's on Netflix streaming. Yeah,

131
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I had friends that worked on it. And that's where

132
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I have my Gary Busey insider story. Oh yeah, yeah,

00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: in the film, he does not play the father. No,

136
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: it's done by one Fred Ward. Yeah. So Gary Bucy

Speaker 1: He made it. Wish I could tell the whole story.

139
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: He made it into Black Sheep with Chris Farley and um,

140
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: David Spade. That. Yeah, he was like the crazy guy

141
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: who lived in a school bus in the woods. It

142
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: was the part he was born to play exactly. Please

00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: don't come to our office, Gary. Um. All right, So

144
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: that was the fifties and that's generally when the rock

145
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: era in the fifties is when you people say you

146
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: can start talking about things like one hit wonders, like

147
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: not some guy who had one big band hit in

148
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: the nineteen thirties, although I'm sure they were there, you

149
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: know that's true. Uh, there's been one song that was

150
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: a one hit wonder for two bands, which is interesting.

151
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's hear funky Town really yeah, Lips Incorporated.

152
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: And then I don't know if you remember Pseudo Echo.

153
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: They did a version of that in it was a

154
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: little more electric and upbeat, and that was a bona

155
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: fide top forty hit as well. Seems can't people couldn't

156
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: get enough of Funky Town. I hope whoever wrote that

157
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: like really cast in. Yeah, so the sixties all right, Now,

158
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: the sixties was the green tambour in seventies songs like

159
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. Yeah it's a

160
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: good song. Uh, it was an Apollo thirteen one took

161
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: over the line. I I literally wrote shutter next to that,

162
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: what like, oh you hate that song? It's pretty bad.

163
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Brewer and Shipley and then Seasons in the Sun, great song.

164
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Terry Jack's never heard of the guy no no, no

165
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: rev no re um. And you also make the point

166
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: that the seventies were lousy with disco one hit wonders.

167
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: And in our Disco episode we talked about why because

168
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: it was all producer driven rather than artists driven. Exactly.

169
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: I didn't even bother to like list any in here.

170
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's you can just name a disco song

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: and there you have it. The eighties, of course, you

172
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: had bands like Soft Cells, Tainted Love and Oh Mickey,

173
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: You're So Fine, Tony Basil, Uh, I Want Candy by

174
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Bow Wow Wow Kajago. Remember what song I don't remember?

175
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: Is that who? That was too shy shy? Yeah. Uh

176
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: so the eighties was lousy with it, but a lot

177
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: of those songs are great songs, and a lot of

178
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: the artists in the eighties were popular in other countries. Yeah,

179
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: and are known as one hit wonders here in the US.

180
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: Like I was reading an article on I think Cracked

181
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: maybe about one hit Wonders and they were saying, like,

182
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Aha had Take on Me, which was a hit here

183
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: in the United States, but that was it. But they're

184
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: like one of the top fifty grossing bands of all

185
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: time worldwide. Yeah. Well, and Aha falls into another weird category,

186
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: which is a band that's known as a one hit

187
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: wonder who actually had a quieter second hit. Oh really Yeah,

188
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: they had a song called the Sun Always Shines on

189
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: TV that was like a top twenty hit. I nick, wow,

190
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't remember that one. Nobody does. They're good though,

191
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: now they're awesome. Um. And then remember right said Fred

192
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: on Too Sexy huge in England, Yes, like there I'm

193
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: Too Sexy was actually only hit number two in England.

194
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: They had another one that hit number one, but here

195
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: in the States, I think it hit number one here.

196
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: And then that was it for right side Fred. Uh,

197
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: the same with Frankie Goes to Hollywood and uh yeah,

198
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: they were really big in Europe. And Gary Newman, Yeah

199
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: that was a good song. That song holds up car

200
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: go back and listen to cars. Yeah, that dude was

201
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: a good musician. Well, and he was hugely popular and

202
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: still like tours today. Yeah, so he's he's one of

203
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: those guys that's like, please don't call me a one

204
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: hit wonder. I had a long successful career. Look at

205
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: my house. You know it's a car No, I think

206
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: it's like a mansion. He lives in his car. It's

207
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: predel safest, he can lock all his doors. Uh Falco

208
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, Nina, we're really big in German speaking countries.

209
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I could see that. But you know, had

210
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: the ninety nine red balloons balloons and then Falco's rock

211
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: Me on My Dais. Yeah, huge hit here. It's like

212
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: it didn't occur to my young brain that that wasn't

213
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: from the Ama Dais soundtrack, because remember it came out

214
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: at about the same time as the movie, and um,

215
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: like I just thought it was part of the soundtrack, yeah,

216
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: the movie soundtrack. Well, the point with this, though, is

217
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: that one hit one or is sort of a sort

218
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: of a derogatory term to throw on unearnest. So a

219
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: lot of these people are like in America, like you jerks,

220
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: I was huge in Europe or maybe some other country

221
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, who cares so much for you? One

222
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: hit the nineties crash Test Dummies, remember those dudes. Well

223
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: that was the song. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right, the Makrana,

224
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: even though I don't even like to count that. Um,

225
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: what about Faith No More is epic? Yeah, see that's

226
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: a band that hugely critically popular and had a big

227
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: cult following. But yeah, just the one hit the epic. Yeah,

228
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: that was the name of it, right, you want it all,

229
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: but you can't have it. That was I remember here

230
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: that song in the first time. This is the coolest

231
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. Yeah, and that lead singer, what's

232
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: his name, Mike something, he's like super respected. He's been

233
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: another band like Mr. Bungle. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's a

234
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: big like has a big cult fall and not not

235
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: among colts, even like among people who aren't in cults.

236
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: All right, so that's music, that's an overview. Yeah. You

237
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: make a really good point in this article that, like

238
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: one hit wonder, that derogatory term isn't just um aimed

239
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: at people only in the music industry, although that's where

240
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: the lion's share of it is, but it shows up

241
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: in sports. You pointed out a couple of them, a

242
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: couple of instances. Yeah, well, if you have one hit

243
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: in baseball, then you've been a complete and utter failure.

244
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: But a couple of guys have had one hit and

245
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: that one hit was a home run, which is pretty cool,

246
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: which is pretty interesting. Who was that? There was a

247
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: guy named um Chris Jellic whose name might recognize for

248
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: some reason. Yeah, And I don't follow the Mets or anything,

249
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: but I guess I just saw that that bit of

250
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: trivia before that he had one hit and there was

251
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: a home run. Yeah. Maybe. So there's a guy who

252
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: didn't have a hit UM named Eddie Goodell. He had

253
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: one plate appearance in a nineteen fifty one game for

254
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: the Yankees, and he was a little person. Oh yeah,

255
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: and they put him in against the St. Louis Browns

256
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: and he drew four consecutive um uh balls and got

257
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: a walk. Really yeah, and his jerseys in the Hall

258
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: of Fame, and it's you can't see me doing this

259
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: right now, I'm rubbing my face. His number was one

260
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: eight really yeah. But he was I guess you could

261
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: say a one hit sports wonder. It was kind of

262
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: a fun story until then. Yeah, but I mean that's

263
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: that was his jam. That's what he got paid for,

264
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: and that's I mean, he was aware that he was

265
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: a little person. So money off. What about the art world,

266
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: design world, there's a very famous person, Harvey Belle, who

267
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: has the perfect name for what he did. Why is

268
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: it the perfect name, Harvey bell It sounds like the

269
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: creator of the smiley face. Yeah, the iconic seventy smiley face.

270
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: He created that as a marketing campaign UM kind it

271
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: sounded like an internal um morale campaign for State UH

272
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: Mutual Life Assurance company UM and it took off. I

273
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: don't know if the company made the money or what,

274
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: but he was paid two forty bucks for it. And

275
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: he never had another artistic hit. And I looked to

276
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: see if there were any other artists who were considered

277
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: one hit wonder and I found some, but I didn't

278
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: recognize any of them. I did recognize one grant would

279
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: the painter of American Gothic. Oh, yeah, he painted that

280
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: and was He won all sorts of prizes, became like

281
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: this like caused celeb like all over the art world,

282
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: and the media started digging into his life and realized

283
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: that he was a middle aged bachelor who lived at

284
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: home with his mother and sister, and like wanted to

285
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: know more about that, and all of a sudden, he

286
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: like just really couldn't handle the the limelight. And it's

287
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: it's a pretty sad story. I think I read an

288
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: article about it on Mental flass. It was worth reading.

289
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: So he never painted again, or I don't think he

290
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: ever kind of went for the Gusto if he didn't

291
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: just stop painting altogether. I don't remember the end of

292
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: the article. Well, the art world certainly has a lot

293
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: of people famous, pre famous for a single painting, but

294
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: they may have been, you know, very revered in other

295
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: areas like faith no More. That's right there, the Faith

296
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: no More of the art world. I told just all

297
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: the scream this last trip to New York. Oh yeah,

298
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, this was like I can't see

299
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: what you're I mean, like you build something like that

300
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: up in your head, see it everywhere, and then just

301
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: to see the real one. It's either going to go

302
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: one of two ways. You're gonna be underwhelmed or amazed.

303
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: You know, I completely agree. And that's been my uh,

304
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: it's been what's happened to me with art because you

305
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: know how I feel about art. I know how you

306
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: feel about art. I love it. Well, now we're on

307
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: the road, driving in your truck. Want to learn a

308
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: thing or two from Josh can chuck it stuff you

309
00:16:46,440 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: should know? All right? What about books? Yeah? Um, To

310
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: Kill a Mockingbird. Yeah, that's the one most often cited

311
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: as the one hit wonder because Harperlely wrote one book

312
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: that's um one of those rare ones where I actually

313
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: think the movie is better than the book. And I

314
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: love the book. It's one of my favorite books of

315
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: all time. And I hadn't read it in a while,

316
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: and I went back and read it, and then I

317
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: watched the movie shortly after. I was like, holy cow,

318
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: the movies better than the book. Yeah, Gregory Peck, I

319
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: mean yeah, talk about one of the best casting. But everybody,

320
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: like all of those actors were amazing, every single one

321
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, Yeah, that's good stuff. She wrote, um,

322
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: the one book, and she worked on a second for

323
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: a while called The Long Goodbye, but shelved it. Then

324
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties she started another book and never

325
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: finished that one either. And I guess she just procrastinated.

326
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: I think she just I don't know. I don't know

327
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: if anyone has an answer why she never wrote again.

328
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: Same with the Sallenger, Yeah, Catching the Rye. That was it,

329
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: except he wrote short stories too, but I mean I

330
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: think he never published another novel. Yeah, And I will

331
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: never know. And John Kennedy tool sure, Confederacy of Dunce

332
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: is how often do you think about that book just

333
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: in your normal life? How I don't know. Almost never.

334
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: Maybe yeah, a couple of times a year, maybe when

335
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: it's like a movie in the works that never happens.

336
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that movie or that book yesterday

337
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: and I hadn't read this article yet. Have you read it? No? Yeah,

338
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: it's good. It's like I think a lot of people

339
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: have these expectations because it's known as his like genius

340
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: work after this guy committed suicide, and it is really good.

341
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: But um, I don't think it's like one of the

342
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: greatest books of all time or anything. Yeah, so what

343
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: happened to him? Do you know? No? I I just

344
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: I've never read the book. I don't know much about it.

345
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of like a wacky Southern Gothic

346
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: yea yeah, um kind of novel I lived his aunts,

347
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: I think, or something like, yeah, this crazy character in Louisiana.

348
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: It's always grabbed my attention because it's just like a

349
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: perfect title, and then the guy's name is perfect as well,

350
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: John Kennedy tool or the character his the author got you, well,

351
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: he killed himself. He was clearly now suffered some sort

352
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: of mental illness, and um could not get published, and

353
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: that drove him to eventually commit suicide in nineteen nine,

354
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: and his mother made it her life's work to get

355
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: it published and did so. And then his second book

356
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 1: was published, The Neon Bible, I think in six and

357
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: that was made into a movie. So he's not a

358
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: one hit wonder then, well, Neon Bible wasn't a huge hit.

359
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I would say he's a one hit wonder. Um.

360
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: And you also bring up movies too, man, Yeah, and

361
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: on books again, Sylvia Plath is on here for the

362
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: Bell Jar. I kinda wish I hadn't put that in

363
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: here because she was a well known poet. That's why

364
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: I hadn't mentioned it, you know. But she did write

365
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: the one book and then would you do stick her

366
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: head in the oven or something. I don't know how

367
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: she killed herself. I think Virginia Wolf drowned herself, right,

368
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: Sylvia herself on herself? I think did she That sounds right?

369
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: I remember that scene in Wonder Boys where Toby McGuire

370
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: rattles off the famous celebrity suicides. It was really great.

371
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: That was a great movie. Joseph Heller with Catch twenty two. Yeah,

372
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: that's certainly a one hit wonder um. So yeah, movies, um,

373
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: I mean there more directors and actors that you could

374
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: even mention that had one hit, but legit super super hits,

375
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: people like Michael is it Chimino or Samino? Samino? I think,

376
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: although if it's if you're speaking in the Italian, it

377
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: would be Chimino. Uh. He did The Deer Hunter, of course,

378
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: one Best Picture in four other Academy Awards. Did he mal? Huh?

379
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: Did he mal? That's what they tell him when they're

380
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: like making them play Russian Roulette? Did he Yeah, except

381
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: they scream it. Yeah. Yeah, that scene was so intense.

382
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: I saw that very young, really young to be seeing

383
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: that movie in retrospect, like it made an impression on you.

384
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, huge? Um. But yeah. He famously made Heaven's

385
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: Gate um as his follow up, which was one of

386
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the notorious disasters along with Ishtar. Wasn't like water World

387
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: Skate Warren Baby movie too? Or is that Heaven Can Wait?

388
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: He was in Heaven Can Wait an Ishtar? So what

389
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: about Heaven's Gate? What was that about? Yeah? I think

390
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: it was a Western if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, And

391
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: it was just a notorious failure and a very expensive one.

392
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: And then Tomino never he made a few other movies,

393
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: but you haven't heard of many of them. He did

394
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: a year of the Dragon was like with Mickey Rourke,

395
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: which the only other like notable movie that was supposed

396
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: to be a good one. Yeah, but it was far

397
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: from a hit, you know what I'm saying. And then

398
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: my favorite, uh, Steve Gordon, one of my favorite movies

399
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: of all time. I have not seen it. You didn't

400
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: see Arthur. Not only have I not seen the original Arthur,

401
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the remake that includes our friend Hodgeman

402
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: as a candy store manager. I believe that was terrible,

403
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: by the way, not Hodgman's bit, not Hodgement was great,

404
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: but the remake was really bad. And it was so

405
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: sad because Arthur is one of the movies that I

406
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: hold very very dear to me, and Steve Gordon wrote

407
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: and directed it and then died afterwards. It was the

408
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: only movie he ever made by his own hand. No.

409
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: I think he had a heart attack or something and

410
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: died young but young ish, uh. And it was just

411
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: so like it was a gut wrenching experience watching the

412
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: remake for me? Why did you watch it? Like? For example,

413
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: I think Red Dawn is one of my favorite movies

414
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: of all time. There's not a chance that I will

415
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: ever see the remake of Red Dawn. Well, I'm not either,

416
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: And I learned after Arthur. Yeah, so that's the one

417
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: that taught you the lesson. Yeah, I'm not gonna watch

418
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: anything that was really precious to me if they rebooted

419
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: or remake it again. Never again. It sounds like Hodgeman

420
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: tell you a valuable lesson. Yeah. And I like Russell Brand,

421
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I thought, you know, they made Helen

422
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: Mirre and John Gielgood's character and was just enough of

423
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: a spin where I was like, well, that's could be interesting.

424
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: But then everything about the movie was just some new

425
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: little spin to make it different. And it was like, hey,

426
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: let's make the man a woman, Let's make the the

427
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: white guy, uh Puerto Rican, you know, and it was

428
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: like Louis Guzman and it was just it was bad,

429
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: so bad. Yeah. Well that's it for Arthur. Yeah. Um,

450
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: are stoner and that you're retty Repartee is contrived. It

451
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,480

Speaker 1: are not stoners. You've done frequent podcasts on the l

456
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: effects of drugs, and this is not uh convinced her

457
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: still listen within the When you read letters during listener

458
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: mail about couples who enjoy listening together, that's so sad.

459
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, one pair even became engaged during

460
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: a listener mail segment. Yeah, we don't know about that yet.

461
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: I'm not vouch you for that. Um. It recently struck

462
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: me that perhaps if you were to give Elizabeth a

463
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: shout out at the end of the show, she might

464
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: be impressed enough to become a fan as well. You

465
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: could say hi to Elizabeth at the end of the show,

466
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: you'd be contributing to my marital blizz. So wait a second,

467
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: way second, you realize what's going on here? For being manipulated, Yeah,

468
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: to to say hey to somebody who doesn't even like us,

469
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: I know, I feel like there should be some money

470
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: exchange for this. Well, no, I feel instead of saying

471
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: hi to Elizabeth, but she needs to get a tongue

472
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: lashing for these baseless accusations. Yea of us sitting around

473
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,240

475
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: listened to the show. We had banter. We might go

476
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: off on tangents and we might say like five million

477
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: times in this sentence, but we're not sitting around smoking

478
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: weed just rambling. Yeah, we're just relaxed. A lot of

479
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: work goes into the show. So Elizabeth mellow out. Dude, Yeah, seriously,

480
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:46,680

487
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. I think we had her until
