wonderful folks at home sometimes we tell you how great you are at the end of the show we want to tell you how great you are in the beginning of the show yeah you guys are great we're going to raise our glasses and salute you right here at the beginning of the show because you are the best part of our show you are the listeners you are the loyal listeners or the disloyal is and we don't even care as long as you're listening you're the punctual listeners you're get the beginning of the show yeah the other some of these people are kind of show up later on exactly and they and they think we don't notice oh we saw you sneaking in yeah right right we always notice you know we might we might not say anything about it but believe me we noticed that you came in late yeah and we sometimes we asked a few of the people and they'll say things well i would have been there earlier but the dog ate it operas yes no one likes them right i almost nobody like yeah almost zero but i wasn't a great music teacher did and because of that we figured well if no one likes them who should try to the next of us ok right now because there are that many people like tom and doug either so it's like a no brainer except in this case it isn't a big brainer yeah yeah so this was a play about einstein so tom and i got asked to write you know songs for this play about einstein a musical love story about einstein which is kind of funny because if you know much about his love life it wasn't like a super happy well they say that about you and me too don't know what it was you know there was a period of what about eight months or so where we were actively thinking about writing songs for this play yeah and you were writing someone your own i was writing some on my own we were trying to write some together and i happened to be out with my father who is a fantastic musician whom you've heard playing piano on a couple tom and doug songs from time to time although he's not on this one at all but he's telling him about it and i told him about this idea i had for a german drinking song and he got all excited and so the two of us sat down and wrote it together wrote like twelve versus but you just got to hear three because you know the show solti half an hour long so what do you have to say about that sir i enjoyed participating in that song all right well we'll be back after th and so tom we gave something to the listeners who were punctual enough to show up at the beginning of the show yeah a new song we played on a new song a new song i'm kind of feeling like well if we only reward half the audience maybe you know maybe we should was written for this play about einstein you know i love story about einstein and musical and so what's funny is when you're sitting there and i actually never read the play and i record it even when i don't even think i had a copy of it initially you just said hey doug this guy wants us to write songs about love story about einstein and so we sit there thinking ok what can we write songs about about physics and about gravity and about  i really like that one we hope you liked it you know why i like that yet not only does it rock yeah which you can think me for doug rocked it up on the head tom wrote what was i actually kind of rag it wasn't really rag it   and the more i've worked on the song the more i like it about that this idea that as you you feel this attraction to people and you can actually feel it get closer and stronger and weaker as you get farther apart or i mean there's always that pole even when you may not see the other person i think that's pretty cool i think you did a nice job there sir well it's completely accidental but we do hope that you folks  week and we will say very nicely that we really enjoyed having you here and we will inflict the same kind of punishment on you know well no no no no we're not going to inflict the same kind because we can't do two new songs free we know we can't do that no need to hoe this with this show was years in the making because we've been here working on these songs for so long and we gave you two in one show yeah so you should be really proud of yourself it's you sure are special and all right thank you very much for joining us both at the beginning and at the end and for those of you who were here for the whole thing wow wow yeah i don't think anyone's done that before thank you we'll see you guys next week good job ok
