  SPEAKER_17: Had to build a shelf to put the other stuff on.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_17: Right.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_17: Uh so that I did that today.

• 18:42
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_17: Uh those are I've moved those.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_17: So it's a it's a slow process, but uh that's a big basement.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_14: I mean, you got twenty plus years in this house.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_14: So I mean, you know, yeah, you get a lot of stuff in that time.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, well, this is uh I I I want to say a lot of the stuff that you're seeing here, I'm going to throw away.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_17: I get it.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_17: Not all of it, but I mean it.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_17: If it's been in here and I haven't touched it in years and years and years, I'm just gonna toss it.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, just get rid of it.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_17: You know, just kinda give it because you know.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_17: I mean, I I have a tendency to collect things like cords.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_17: You never know when you're gonna need that.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_14: I I don't know if I'll never need this RF cable ever again, but uh I mean I'm gonna have it.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_17: Exactly.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah so so I think that's a I think that's a rural I think that's an up here thing.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_14: Maybe, you know, maybe because like our you know, our grandparents were depression to help you and like my grandmother used to like use water paper towels and then dry them out and use it keep reusing them.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_14: Really?
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_14: Oh yeah, all the time.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_14: Tinfoil, paper towels, got reused multiple times.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_14: I can see that actually.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_14: It's just that mentality.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_14: So I mean and dad, of course, is you know, if he if he gets if he he'll go to the dump to take stuff to the dump and come back with more stuff.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, he found he found a stationary bike at the dump last week.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_14: And he brought it back?
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_14: Brought it back.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_14: It's now in the basement.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_14: It was a good shape, yeah.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, I don't know why somebody threw it away, but you know, it was a good shape, so dad took it.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_14: Has he used it yet?
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_14: No.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_14: No.

  SPEAKER_14: But he has it.

  SPEAKER_17: Uh so after our syndicate gig on Thursday, uh Friday, I don't know, you've never really been in our bedroom, in the master bedroom up.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_17: No.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_17: Uh, and there's a good reason because uh whenever somebody comes over we close the door because it's just it's a catch-all.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_14: Well, that's kind of a private area.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_17: Well, not only the way I looked at it, you know, it's just like you know, we have too many clothes and only two dressers.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_17: Do you know what I mean?
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_17: Oh, yeah.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_17: And and it was just and there was dust bunnies, and it was just it was uh it was too much junk in there.
• 21:00

• 21:06
  SPEAKER_17: Oh sure.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_17: So I changed the bed shui.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, the direction of the bed and put the dressers in a different place, mounted the TV on the wall.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_17: Nice.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_17: So it's not, you know, on the desk anymore.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_17: The desk is uh now down here, which opened up the room quite a bit.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_17: Put some pictures up on the wall.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_17: So I did that m Friday and Saturday.

• 28:55
  SPEAKER_17: Nathan is probably nervous.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_17: I'd be lying if I said I didn't have any butterflies, but I really don't get that nervous at those things.

  SPEAKER_17: It says I don't have time to write.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_17: October.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_14: You took time to write that.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_14: I don't have time to write.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_14: Uh okay, so like when you wrote that song about not being able to write a song.

  SPEAKER_17: Right, yeah.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_17: Uh okay, so as most people know, you just started playing drums when we started.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_14: Literally, yeah.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 31:23
  SPEAKER_17: And Nate just started playing bass.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_17: Yep.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_17: Okay, so let's kind of preface this one.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_17: October 12th.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_17: Yes, I'm at work.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_17: Mornings.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_17: Yuck.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_17: I talked to Teresa last night.
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_17: That was great.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_17: I'm going to talk to her again tonight.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_17: Cool.
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_17: I'm thinking about putting a different song on the air.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_17: I've had complaints, if you will, that one of the notes in Lisa's song is wrong.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_17: I do agree.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_17: What I really need to do is pick two or three songs, write out the lyrics, write a cover letter, and send them away.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_17: It's hard to pick which songs to send.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_17: Anyway, the Blake Street Boys jammed on Saturday and Monday.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_17: Saturday we were all tired and goofing off.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_17: It was funny.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_17: Monday we got serious and sounded awesome.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_17: I think Nate and Doug have really come along.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_17: Nate's getting comfortable with the bass.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_17: He's playing around with the board now, which means he understands the notes.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_17: Now all he has to do is figure out how to sing and play at the same time and remember the words.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_17: Of course, I have to work on that too.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_17: Doug is really impressive.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_17: He also seems to love drumming.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_17: I think from his musical tastes, he's used to really loud drums.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_17: I try to stress dynamics, but I don't like coming across like a jerk.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_17: He's doing better.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_17: There's going to be a day when we're jamming or playing somewhere, and all of us will remember where everything goes, all the words and all the dynamics, and we'll be tight.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_17: I'm still having a ball, but I'm also impatient.
• 32:49
  SPEAKER_17: I've got to get my bills paid off.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_17: I miss Teresa.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_17: I want a recording studio.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_17: Time is on my side.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_14: It's taking them taking me back to the, yeah.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_14: Well, I was in the KMH today and I was looking at drumsticks and I I picked up a pair of two B's and I said to Randy, I said, Can you believe I used to play with these frickin' things?
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_17: They're like tree trunks, man.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_17: Uh okay, so there's a couple more entries, uh, but I'm jumping ahead now.

  SPEAKER_17: Here I am at my house that I'm renting with my lovely wife, Teresa.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_17: Those are in quotes.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_17: Uh we're in the process of looking for a house to buy, hopefully before our first anniversary, June 28th, 1998.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_17: And I'm listening to an old tape of Lisa's song that we recorded at Gooville Elementary School on a real piano.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_17: What?
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_14: I don't remember doing that.

  SPEAKER_17: Oh.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_17: Yeehaw.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_17: All or nothing just came on.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_17: It's been a really long time since I've heard this one.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_14: Do you remember that song?
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_14: Oh my word, yeah.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_17: Do you remember it?
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_14: I'm trying to remember it.

• 34:36
  SPEAKER_14: Wow.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_17: So anyway, here's what's happened in the past three years with the band.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_17: First, tragedy.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_17: Nathan graduated and moved away.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_17: He got a great job and is living with Tom Peters in New Hampshire.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_17: Before Nate left, we were actually counting uh courting someone to play rhythm guitar.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_17: A guy I knew as a bassist in high school.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_17: Well, you can probably guess when Nate left, enter Shane Mountain on bass.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_17: By the way, Doug actually purchased a drum set, so we were actually turning into a real band, down to a three-piece.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_17: Doug drums and vocals, Shane bass and vocals, Brian guitar and vocals.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_17: We went through the process of learning lots of cover songs so we could make an attempt to making money.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_17: So we played in bars, wedding receptions, in city parks, etc.
• 35:20
  SPEAKER_17: By the way, we changed our name to Common Crossing.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_17: We actually didn't do a lot of Blake Street Boys material because we didn't have Nate.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_17: So I wrote a little, not as much as before.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_17: We have some good ones and bad.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_17: I have to wake my wife for church.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_17: I'll pick this up later.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_17: It's just kind of neat that's a very good thing.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, the beginning of the band.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_17: That's cool, man.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_17: Uh let's see.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_17: Um March 28th.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_17: Is this the same day?
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_17: It is the same day.
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_17: Uh I'm back for a few minutes.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_17: So anyway, now we find out Shane is moving to Portland.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_17: Oh yeah.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_17: So three years later, we left without a we're left without a bass player once again.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_17: We're auditioning a couple people, but nothing is solid yet.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_17: Doug and I just want to play.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_17: That's all it was ever about.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_17: Common Crossing has had lots of ups and downs.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_17: We've won awards and everything.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_17: Did we?
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_14: Well, we won that talent show.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_17: Maybe that's what I'm talking about.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_17: I think we got like 200 bucks.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_17: Illusions of grandeur.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_17: We'll get through this one.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_17: As for me, I've I've had gone through many style changes or moods, if you will, but rock and roll is still in my heart.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_17: I've been doing some soundtrack work too.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_17: Now Doug graduates college in May of this year.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_17: If he takes a job somewhere else, then there may be a problem.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_17: I'll fill you in once we audition this guy, or I at least get to meet him.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_17: Gotta go say hi to the big man now.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_14: So I wonder who that was.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_14: Was it Mike?
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_14: Um because that's who we eventually got, but oh, this one says I was ticked to duck.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_17: Oh, what'd I do?
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_17: Let's find out.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_17: This is April.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_17: Let's read on.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_17: This is April 14th, 1998.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_17: Okay.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_17: Uh I didn't realize that you had done this.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_17: What'd I do?
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_17: Uh we have a habit in this band of doing this because Shane did the same thing.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_17: Yes, I'm at work.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_17: We auditioned a bass player last night.
• 37:23
  SPEAKER_17: He's a friend of Doug's, a 17-year-old junior in high school.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_17: He's a great kid, but not a real hot player.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_17: At this point At this point, I need to think of the speedy recovery of the band.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_17: I was kind of ticked at Doug for jumping the gun and telling this kid that he was in the band.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_17: This is the kind of thing that makes me want to go it alone.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_17: The only problem with going solo is that most of my music is no fun to play alone.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_17: Plus, a lot of a lot a lot of it I don't really like all that much.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_17: But I do have the ability to write a really memorable tune and I like doing that.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_17: Anyway, the family is fine, trudging away at the bills and such.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_17: I'm about to make some requests for time off.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_17: I better get back to work.

  SPEAKER_14: But I can't remember who that would have been.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, me either.

  SPEAKER_17: Actually, um, one song to hear.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_17: It's a new uh new Peter Gabriel.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_17: Oh, well, it was a full moon.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_17: It was a full moon uh while we were gone.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_17: Another song that comes out of the brain uh show that I am working on, and the character has been effectively torn apart and is trying to reassemble himself one piece at a time.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_17: I needed a character for the story, and I always wanted to do a little more with Mozo, who I had introduced many years back.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_17: Gabriel is just a weird guy.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_17: He is a weird guy.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_17: He's just a weird I mean, he's super smart, but uh yeah, weird from his uh OI album.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_17: Uh so this is called uh One by One.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_17: So we'll hear a little bit of that, and hopefully there's no political ads.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_17: Oh, it's nine and a half minutes later.
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_14: Holy crap.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_17: We won't be hearing all nine and a half minutes.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, it says Mosier with a broken man.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_00: So rock light at the start.
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_00: Later on, he fell apart, left slivers on the road.
• 44:32
  SPEAKER_00: When strangers asked him, where do you come from?
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_00: He said, No, fix the boat.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_17: Kinda hoping for a chorus.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_00: And a first thing.
• 44:50
  SPEAKER_00: The clowns came in and swept around him.
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_00: They were bringing the rain.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_00: Go to the course.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_12: Right here.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_12: Go.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_07: Good is a bright side of mix, by the way.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_17: I was about to say it must be a bright side.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_17: So we just heard three minutes of it.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_14: I have a feeling this is pretty much the structure of the song.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_17: I think it is too.
• 45:48
  SPEAKER_17: The song is called One by One.
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_14: I like it.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_17: No, I do too.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_17: I like it a lot.
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, I do too.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_17: I like um I think the last, I don't know, three or four songs that we've heard from Gabriel.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_17: Been great.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_17: I've I've dug them.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 46:01
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_17: So that's pretty cool.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_12: That's awesome, man.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_17: Um the other thing that I wanted to um kind of try and tackle was a headline that I saw.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_17: You know this song.
• 46:14
  SPEAKER_14: No, I've never heard this song ever.
• 46:17
  SPEAKER_14: What is it?
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_14: Are you fibbing?
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_12: I'm lying.
• 46:24
  SPEAKER_17: Um there is a um headline, Rick Springfield's Jesse's Girl, 15 Facts You May Not Know.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_17: Oh.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_17: Okay.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_17: Uh so I thought this would kind of be neat too.
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_17: Because this is the guy that is this is an iconic song.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_17: Some guy that made me want to be a musician.
• 46:42
  SPEAKER_17: Um, the inspiration hit in a stained glass class.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_17: I don't think I even knew that.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_17: Okay.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_17: Springfield's music career hadn't taken off the way he had hoped, and he has yet to get his big acting break, or was yet.
• 46:57
  SPEAKER_17: As such, the aspiring rocker began thinking about other career paths.
• 47:02
  SPEAKER_17: Uh he said, I thought I'd better uh look for something else to support my future family, so I thought that I'd become a stained glass master.
• 47:11
  SPEAKER_17: Unexpectedly, it was while learning the fine art of stained glass that he came up with his signature song.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_17: Uh originally Jesse wasn't involved at all.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_17: I think I knew this.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_17: Okay.
• 47:21
  SPEAKER_17: Because it was uh Jesse, it was Gary.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_17: Gary.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_07: Uh there was a there was a couple Gary's girl! It doesn't work.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_17: There was a couple in his stained glass class, a man named Gary and his girlfriend.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_17: Um, the musician was floored by this woman's beauty, later admitting he was panting over her from afar.
• 47:44
  SPEAKER_17: Whenever he looked at her.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, right.
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_17: Read his book, you'll understand.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_17: Uh he was also very shy, never even so much as introduced himself, let alone try to steal her away.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_17: Instead, uh the feelings of angst and lust inspired the name the now famous song.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_17: Uh Springfield recognized that Gary's girl did not have a nice root.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_17: No, it does just doesn't.
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_17: Uh so where does Jesse come from?
• 48:09
  SPEAKER_17: After determining Gary wasn't right, Springfield chose another moniker, Randy.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_14: I wish I had Randy's getting- No, it doesn't work, man.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_17: The singer crafted most of the two with this name in place, yet something still wasn't right.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_17: After seeing a t-shirt featuring NFL wide receiver Ron Jesse, Springfield finally found the right name.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_17: The song was changed to Jesse's Girl and is now etched in rock record.
• 48:34
  SPEAKER_14: That makes sense that makes sense.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_17: The idea for Jesse's Girl came quickly, but the song took months.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_17: Um The Riff came first, and although it's a pretty simple-sounding song, it wasn't easy to write.
• 48:44
  SPEAKER_17: It took about two months working on the guitar and piano.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_17: Uh, I I knew this too, I think you knew this, that the guitar solo that you just heard kind of in the background.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_17: Was Neil Giraldo?
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, Spider.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 48:55
  SPEAKER_17: Spider.
• 48:56
  SPEAKER_17: Pat Manatar's husband and guitar player.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_17: Oops.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_14: Um and Keith Olsen was the producer.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_14: Well, Spider tells a great story about him recording the tracks for the song, and the dog, Rick Springfield's dog, would like sit like right in front of him while he was playing.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_14: Right.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_17: This is the dog that was on the album covers.
• 49:17
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, the working dog.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah, working class dog.
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_14: Working class dog.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_14: That dog, he used to sit like right in front of me, he was like a pit bull.
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_14: He was like because he was like, if I screw up, is he gonna bite me?
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_17: I think I think I've seen that story, actually.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_17: Uh Keith Olsen, known for his work with Fleet with Mac, Grateful Dead, Foreigner, and more, produced working class dog.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_17: Uh it was he who introduced Springfield to Neil Giraldo.
• 49:39
  SPEAKER_17: Um the story just nailed me of Jesse's Girl because being a guy, we've all been through this.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_17: Every guy everywhere has a friend, and he meets his friend's girlfriend, and we fall for a moment in love with that girlfriend.
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_17: If you ever run into a guy who says, Nope, that's never happened to me, he's lying.
• 49:54
  unknown: He's lying.
• 49:55
  SPEAKER_17: Uh the record label didn't hear a hit.
• 49:57
  SPEAKER_17: When considering which song to release as the first single, the record label passed over Jesse's Girl for a different tune.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_17: Uh Springfield's rendition of Sammy Hagar's I've Done Everything for You.
• 50:07
  SPEAKER_17: What's that?
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_17: What noise?
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_17: No.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_17: What does it sound like?
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_17: That was my computer.
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_14: Oh, okay.
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_17: Anyway, sorry.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_14: Yep, that's it.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_17: Uh it's just when it gets when it gets hot.
• 50:24
  SPEAKER_17: Right, doesn't it?
• 50:25
  SPEAKER_17: Um I've done everything for you.
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_17: Remember that one?
• 50:29
  SPEAKER_17: Yep.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_17: Uh the Sammy Hagar tune.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_17: I think they were hoping to cash in on whatever popularity Sammy had at the time.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_17: They didn't even really consider Jesse's Girl as a single end.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_17: I I think you know this, but uh um Sammy Hagar and and uh Rick Springfield are business partners.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_17: In a drink or something.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_14: Yeah, something like that.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_17: Yeah.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_17: One of Sammy's many business.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_17: Yes.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_17: It was a long slow burn to the top.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_17: Um see now, I thought uh this was gonna be different.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_17: I don't care if it was a long slow burn to the top.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_17: Jesse's girl scored Springfield his first Grammy.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_17: Uh I th I don't think I knew that.
• 51:04
  SPEAKER_17: It inspired a Jimmy Kimmel sketch.
• 51:06
  SPEAKER_17: Do you remember that sketch?
• 51:07
  SPEAKER_17: The making of the album or making of the song Jesse's Girl?
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_17: Did you see that?
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_17: I don't think I ever saw that.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_17: It was pretty funny.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_17: Uh uh, maybe we'll play it here because uh uh let's come back to that.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_17: It's regularly ranked among the 80s' greatest songs.
• 51:21
  SPEAKER_17: Oprah tried and failed to track down the real Jesse's Girl.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_17: There's a Jesse's Girl sequel.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_17: Uh, in 2020, prong rock group Coheat and Cambria released Jesse's Girl 2, a sequel to the classic track.
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_17: Lyrically, the song revealed that the narrator was able to successfully steal away Jesse's Girl, only to later regret it.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_17: Lyrics included the flip side of Jesse's Girl that no one knows, she's out of, she's out of, she's out of her mind.
• 51:46
  SPEAKER_17: And sure, I probably deserved it.
• 51:48
  SPEAKER_17: What kind of friend was I?
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_17: Springfield contributed to the song and also appeared in its music video.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_17: I did not know that.
• 51:54
  SPEAKER_17: I didn't know that either.
• 51:55
  SPEAKER_17: Jesse's Girl in movies and TV shows.

  SPEAKER_14: Um I think that's where I saw that Neil Dorado uh.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_14: You're probably right.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_14: I think from that.
• 52:21
  SPEAKER_17: Because that looked that sounded familiar when you said it.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_17: Uh I don't know if you're gonna be able to get um the gist of this skit, but I figure I'll I'll try and play it uh if it's not too long.
