This is a headgum podcast. Hello and welcome to Good One a podcast about jokes. I am your host Jesse David Fox.

So this is our second of a run of archive episodes we are running while we work on the next season of the show.

So each of these holds a special significance to me as it relates to the show's evolution.

This week's episode, for example, is Weird Al, which was my first, oh shit, I cannot believe

I'm going to be talking to this person guest. You know, I've done over 70 good one interviews, maybe over 80, I actually don't know so I tend to

remember only specific moments from given conversations and it was weird it came

after a few minutes of talking about how he will sort of play with words in his mind and sort of write things

down when he comes to titles and lyrics.

He says, and he stopped me and he's like, let me just get my laptop and show you.

And I instantly knew this was special. It just felt so intimate. In many ways

the work is a wall between the artist and the audience. It's the front that

Creator puts up as a means of communicating out to the world.

Hearing about process is an invitation to sort of come on the other side of the wall.

Truly, I have no idea if any of this makes sense but I feel like you feel like it

should make sense. It's maybe the earliest moment where I was like oh this is a

show. So here is that interview, here's weird Al Yankovic. Here's Word Crimes.

Everybody showed up. Everyone is enough.
