| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, it's Brendan from Weedis, and you're listening to Four Finger Discount. |
| 0:03.9 | Four Finger Discount, dude. |
| 0:40.7 | Hey guys, Dana here for a very special edition of Four Finger Discount. This week, I was very lucky to be joined in the studio by the frontman of Wheatis. He is Mr. Brendan B. Brown. Brendan spelled correctly, by the way, B-R-E-N-D-A-N, the way Brendan should be spelled. He He's currently in Australia, touring the country, on a solo acoustic tour with Art from Everclear. |
| 0:44.1 | Tickets for the remaining shows are available in the description of this podcast, so if you check out the dates and you can get to one of the shows, make sure you do so. |
| 0:47.3 | But the guys that were playing in Geelong a couple of days ago, where we're based, obviously, obviously and Brendan stopped by the studio to chat about the classic episode New Kid on the Block. |
| 0:55.0 | You know the one Laura Powers, that could have been me, Homer with his all you can eat, |
| 0:59.2 | Escapades and the one that was written by Conan O'Brien. |
| 1:02.0 | And we figured New Kid on the Block, we chose this one because it has the time of the whole |

| 1:17.1 | of the most enjoyable conversations that I think I've ever had on this podcast. Honestly, I am |
| 1:21.9 | not kidding. It's fun, it's informative from a music side of things. It's nostalgic when we |
| 1:27.3 | do a little bit of a dive into the whole teenage dirtbag video and the song and how it all came about. |
| 1:31.3 | But it actually gets pretty personal at times too, and you know exactly what I mean when we get to those moments. |
| 1:37.3 | You'll think, Jesus. |
| 1:38.3 | I really think you're going to love this conversation. |
| 1:40.3 | Like I said, it's one of the most enjoyable conversations, one of the most enjoyable pieces of work I've ever put together. |
| 1:46.1 | I absolutely love this. |
| 1:48.1 | Funny story, once the chat was done, I was driving home with Brendan to his hotel. |
| 1:53.0 | And just on the way home, we decided to go for an impromptu lunch date. |
| 1:56.5 | And I figured, why not? |
| 1:57.8 | Brendan from Wheatis has invited me out for lunch. |
