["Rachel McElroy's Theme Song"] Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hello, this is Griffin McElroy. And this is wonderful. This is a show where we talk about things we like, that's good, that we're into. It's, we've heard some criticisms that we basically made goop again.

A lot of people have been saying, you just did goop again. Was goop before us? What came first? Wonderful, I think Rose buddies maybe proceeded to goop. Uh-huh. But I think our transformation was post-goop. It's a post-Goop.

It's a post-Goop. We went into our Goopy Chrysalis and emerged wonderful, a show where we talk about things that's good that we like that we're into. Usually not any sort of, I don't know, herbal cream. I don't know anything about Goop, man. No, I've never even been to the site before. I know that it's like, you know, like fancy stuff.

I know they sort of sent it up on Parks and Rec. It was like Oprah's favorite things, but like. But it was Gwyneth's favorite things. And like totally, totally unattainable by anyone that made less than like $500,000 a year. Okay, cool. All right, well, we do cheaper stuff than that most of the time.

Yeah. What do you think is the most expensive thing we've ever talked about? We tend to not go to, we don't talk about like Beluga Caviar and stuff like that. No. Is that from Beluga? No, those are whales.

You're saying it's a weird name. We've probably talked about like cities before. Yeah, it would be expensive to buy a city. And that would be an expensive purchase, I would say. Yeah, I'm gonna say my small wonder is just the Pacific Northwest region of this nation. And I guess the Pacific Southwest of Canada, because I was up in Vancouver and Seattle,

and golly, just beautiful country, beautiful countries up there. Gotta get to Vancouver one of these days. Gotta get up there. You went to Seattle one of these days. Gotta get up there. You went to Seattle for the first time when we did Emerald City. I know. And that was cool. But man, Vancouver rips, man.

Everything is pretty similar. I've never heard anybody say anything bad about Vancouver. It's dope. It's great to be in Vancouver and in Seattle. And Tacoma also. Tacoma, I didn't forget about you. We actually did our shows in Tacoma. It's my first time spending a lot of time in Tacoma also, Tacoma. I didn't forget about you. We actually did our shows in Tacoma. It's my first time spending a lot of time in Tacoma

and it was lovely. Went to a little farmer's market, went to a used game store, it was tight. Do you have a small, Wander? You got one of them smalls? I thought we were gonna shorten it for a second there. You don't want me to wax poetic about the Pacific Northwest a little bit more?

No, please don't. It just makes me jealous and sad that I didn't get to go. Oh, okay. I wanna say we went to a movie. Yeah. With our two sons. I mean, you don't want to name drop? It's no big deal.

We went to Kung Fu Panda 4. Not a big deal. Didn't see two or three. Didn't see two or three. Didn't see two or three. There were suggestions that there were a lot of other adversaries in those movies that were harkened back to in four. But my small wonder is not the film.

It is the fact that our three-year-old hung in there. Got a little antsy at the end. Which is wild, because the climax. Here's the thing though, he kept wanting to go back in. That's true. When we took him to see the most recent Trolls film, we could not get him to stay in the theater for more than five minutes at a time.

Maybe it's because his daddy wasn't in that one. Despite the trailer, having his daddy in it, this kid was brokenhearted. He kept pulling my sleeve saying, where's Papa? Where's Papa? Where's Papa? And I was like, surely it's coming up soon. The you suck. It's gotta be coming, right?

Cause it was in the trailer. They wouldn't put it in the trailer. And that was the first time I cried in front of my sons, which is good. Show them tenderness. It's okay. It does say something about you though, you know? That's true.

There's a lot of opportunities I think you could have, you could have had to weep before then. Yeah, I'm not a big weeper no Sorry But for this film He hung in there probably 80% of it and the last 20% He would go down the stairs exit the theater walk into the hallway and then immediately want to go back Yeah theater so clearly this one

If you have a three-year-old, I'd recommend it. You'll get to see some of it. It was just exciting to think like, this could be a future for us where we, as a whole family, go to films together. Kung Fu Panda five, six, seven. Can't wait, man. I will also say another small wonder,

just kind of coupled in with that, is that Big Son continuously forgets whether the actor's name is Black Jack or Jack Black. That's cool too, yeah. I do like that. He does it on purpose sometimes. At first I thought it was a goof, but then a lot of times he seems like

he's actually forgotten. He's kidding on the square is what he's doing a little bit. I go first this week. Let's stay on the square is what he's doing a little bit. I go first this week. Let's stay at the movies. This is wonderful at the movies. And- No, it's not.

I can tell you for a fact that it's not for my segment. Oh, okay. Well, mine is kind of a song actually, but it was in a movie. Okay. It was, I mean, and it is called this still, Duel of the Fates by John Williams from Star Wars, episode one, The Phantom Menace.

Did you see that one? Did you catch that one? Jar Jar Binks? Yes. Okay. Yeah, that was like, everybody raced to the theaters. They said, Star Wars is back in a big way. I can, yes.

And I saw that one and didn't enjoy it. Not a good film. And then didn't see any of the other ones. Yes, but the song and the scene that accompanies it is worth the price of admission. If you were not a huge nerd who was of age when the prequels came out, Phantom Menace was 1999. Of age.

Well, to go to movies, right? If you were, I guess, three. Okay. If you were three, you stuck through probably 80% of the Phantom Menace, if our child is any integrated. The Phantom Menace was the Kung Fu Panda IV of its day. Well, yeah, actually in a lot of ways. In a lot of ways.

So here's a little bit of Duel to it again when I sent it to you? I did listen to maybe the first 30 seconds. You just really need to hear the first 30 seconds to sort of get it. That's what I was like, oh, I know this one. Yeah, it's, it rips. Just sort of paint a picture, because Rachel alluded to this. Our family went to see Phantom Menace, like the weekend it came out in 1999.

And the hype for this motion picture was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I don't think I dressed up. I did have a lightsaber, I for sure had a lightsaber. Okay. So I guess that counts a little bit. It does count a little bit, I would say. But like Pepsi was like going fucking hard

on like Phantom Menace stuff. And it was just like everywhere you looked. So we went to it opening weekend. And also another thing that I don't, I feel like you maybe don't appreciate if you're a younger person is like when Phantom Menace came out in 99, Return of the Jedi came out in 1983.

So we'd had basically six, they did the remasters, but 16 years without a new Star Wars movie, which is wild. No, and we were of the generation too, where like everybody's parent was super jazzed to have a child old enough that they could have an excuse to go see this film with them. Absolutely. And I remember watching this movie in theaters, sitting next to my dad,

and just watching the light go out from his eyes as he realized, like, oh no, this isn't very good. But at the end of the movie, Qui-Gon Jinn and a young Obi-Wan Kenobi have this big two on one lightsaber duel with Darth Maul, who looked like some sort of hell cactus, which is fucking sick. And again, lightsaber had two lights on it.

And then this fucking song starts playing. And not only did everybody in the theater get like really hype, I remember this sense of relief washing over like our whole family of like, oh, okay, it's not a total wash. There's large parts of this film that are like frustrating and not great, but this part is undeniably incredibly lit.

And that is, I think in large part due to the fact that Duel of the Fates is very, very, very good. What was the Star War that you and I saw? We went like a midnight show or something with a bunch of our friends. I mean we went to all three of the new ones. We went to the Force Awakens.

I remember this was like a lights went down, people clapped kind of situation. I think we went to Force Awakens. Maybe that's what it was, yeah. I mean we saw all, I think we saw all of them. I think we went to Force Awakens, the first one. Maybe that's what it was, yeah. I mean, we saw all, I think we saw all of them. I don't know if you watched the last one with me. I don't know. Okay, anyway, I think that John Williams is maybe

one of a few living composers who can just start a song with this five note ostinato, the dun-dun-dun-dun. If you hear that, it's like, it awakens something in me. And it really does, it plays through the entire song. There's no like key change. Everything kind of shifts around this like bass of the dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. And the way that it just builds and layers

and like more and more instruments get involved and go from playing like these counter melodies and harmonies to just like joining the little ostinato just until it's finally just everyone's playing it and then it gets quiet again and builds back up. It's fucking stellar. And I feel like it is like kind of a trademark of his work. And I guess most sort of big film composers don't, they can do the same trick.

But this song is just so fucking sick, the way that it moves and comes and recedes and it's just so great. I'm so fascinated with that process, I don't know if you did any research on this, like how does a composer sit down with a filmmaker and like hammer that out, you know? Yeah, from what I understand, I mean, it differs, right?

From filmmaker to project to a composer, but like it sounds like George Lucas and John Williams worked fairly in tandem for what this was. I believe I read that like they wanted, George Lucas wanted something almost like a choral chant, like a religious, like a temple chant is what he wanted for this final climactic battle. And so John Williams kind of just ran with it from there.

And I think you get that mostly from the vocals in the song, which is just this kind of like, this choir singing words that I have never really looked up before until today when I prepared this segment. And the lyrics of the song, they're buck wild. They are a pseudo translation of a Welsh poem called Battle of the Trees, which is, you know that one? Oh no.

Oh. Hmm. Do you? Would you like to recite it to me? I know it now, because I read some of it today. I'm just saying I've never got to play that UNO reverse card. No, I know, it was something great for you. It's about a magician conjuring an army of trees at his command.

Sounds like a pretty kick-ass poem, don't mind if I do. The lines that he chose from the original poem loosely translate to, under the tongue root of fight most dread and another raging behind in the head. He translates those lines in a variety of different languages and picks Sanskrit because of, he said the vowel sounded good. And it had this like sort of temple,

you know, coral vibe that they were going for in the song. And so that's how we get the like core words of the song, which is caramatha, cararathama. Rathama. So that's what he did, right, to do this. He had this Welsh poem and he kind of translated it in a Sanskrit, but like, that's a, you know, it doesn't always line up. When you take the lyrics, the Sanskrit lyrics,

and sort of do like an English transliteration of them, the lyrics, the results are bonkers. I'm just going to read somebody's translation of the words. Dreadful head, dreadful speak, give. Dreadful speak, give battle. Dreadful head, dreadful speak give, dreadful speak give battle, dreadful, dreadful raging, speak give, purify going, dreadful like taking, separate going. It's like a, I mean, it's cool.

It's like a beat poem. It is sort of like a beat poem a little bit. I think that kind of rules, but I also think that it's very, very silly. Not like a karaoke jam, exactly. If they have the phonetic pronunciations of the Sanskrit, I feel like you could probably swing it. Amusingly, they made a music video of Duel of the Fates around the time that the movie came out. Clips of the film?

Clips of the film, and it's also behind the scenes clips of John Williams and the, It's clips of the film and it's also behind the scenes clips of like John Williams and the, I forget, I think it's the London Symphony Orchestra, like making the song. And it was a music video for the whole duel of the fates, all four minutes and 14 seconds of it. And it charted on total requests live for 11 days. So for 11 days, fucking Carson Daly had to be like,

and now from Star Wars, coming up after Barbie Girl by Aqua, we've got a song from Star Wars and John Williams. I fucking love that too. This is how the nerds mobilize, you know? That's true. This is what they can accomplish. Yes, good. We can do good in this world.

We can get on Total Request Live. We can get on Total Request Live. We can get on Total Request Live. Yeah, that's dual-defeats. I think Star Wars probably pound for pound has the most memorable, remarkable themes and pieces of music of any franchise. I can't think of, I couldn't list for you all the ones that have come out of Star Wars without missing

probably a dozen really classic anthems, but I think Duel of the Fates absolutely takes the cake. Can I ask you what made you think of this? What made me think of Duel of the Fates? Yeah, for this week. Phantom Menace is back in theaters right now. Which I'm curious about, right? Not so much that I'll do it,

because we'd never go see movies, and I don't want my track record to have been Kung Fu Panda 4 followed by Phantom Menace. But I am curious, I am curious about it. I don't know, my relationship with those films have changed so dramatically over the years. And I feel like now that you're going in with appropriate expectations, you might enjoy it.

Yeah, maybe, maybe. But yeah, that sort of made me think of it. I sometimes just listen to Duel of the Fates. That's not a joke. If I need to get like pumped up, like really, really pumped up, I'll call up Qui-Gon in the London Symphony Orchestra. We're going on a little journey. Can I steal you away?

Yes. Thank you. ["Stay With Me"] In 1979, singer Miki Matsubara cut Stay With Me, a love song that hit big in her home country of Japan. Stay with me The song has almost half a billion plays on streaming apps. But Miki Matsubara didn't get to enjoy all that renewed interest. She died in 2004. In fact, she had burned all of her music

My wonderful thing this week is Embassy Row here in Washington, D.C.

Interesting. I thought you were talking about the production company who assisted in the My Brother, My Brother and Me television program. No, I'm not talking about that. Oh, well, okay. This isn't a slide against them. I just wouldn't even know how to begin researching that. Yeah, I'm curious to hear about Embassy Rose.

It's genuinely quite neat to drive by. I decided I wanted to look it up because Griffin and I, we try to take the boys to a lot of cultural things, which often means that we are driving through that area of town. And every time we drive through, we have this conversation of like,

I wonder how this, what do you think? And who chose what? And like, there's just so many mysteries about it to me. So I was like, I'm probably gonna look up and see what that's about. Yeah. So Embassy Row is an informal name for a section of Northwest Washington, DC,

which has a high concentration of embassies, diplomatic missions, and diplomatic residences. There are approximately 177 diplomatic missions in the city and the majority are in this area of town. What's a diplomatic mission? Is that like a, not an embassy, but like a mini embassy? It is a group of people from a state or organization present in another state to represent the sending state

or organization officially. So basically an embassy. A mini embassy, sure. Yeah. Doesn't sound like they provide maybe all of the services that a traditional embassy provides. Perhaps. Okay.

Okay, so this includes like Italy, Australia, India, Greece, Egypt, Ireland, Japan, UK, and they are, a lot of these embassies are in these like well-preserved gilded age estates and townhouses. And this is where Griffin and I had a lot of questions like how did this happen? Right. Also some of them don't look like,

like some of them look like maybe architecture from the nation that this place is representing. And that is also like very, very striking and very, very cool to see as you're just like driving down the street. So the story behind all of these residences is that there was an area of town in DC that had the nickname Millionaire's Row.

Cool. And it was just a number of mansions from the city's social and political elites. And then when the Great Depression hit, many of these elites sold their homes. And that is when the different countries started snapping them up. And so the greatest number of embassies

moved to Embassy Row in the 1940s and early 50s. That's interesting. Yeah, so they were just like a bunch of like mansions, like these huge like 60 room residences. Well, now I'm mad though, cause those are hard of like mansions, like these huge like 60 room residences. Well now I'm mad though, cause those are hard earned American mansions. I actually, I have some of the little stories about the buildings,

cause that's what I was most curious about. Yeah, sure. Figure out like who are these millionaires and like what's the story of the building. It's probably some shit like he made, he made some sort of train thing, and they gave him $200 billion. That's how it always was back then.

He made a new kind of hot lunch and made a billion, billion dollars. There is actually somebody who almost exactly matches that. The Turkish Embassy is the current owner of the mansion at 1606 23rd Street. George Oakley Totten Jr. designed the home for Edward Hamlin Everett. He was the inventor of the Coca-Cola bottle cap.

Okay, see, like, this is what I always love about old timey stories is like, yeah, this guy was the richest man alive and he invented A new molasses for everybody that everybody was just fucking crazy for Molasses tycoon buys the biggest house in the country All furniture and flooring and wallpaper Resembled that brown gooey stuff.

We love so much. Yeah, I'm not saying that's any less ridiculous than like the Angry Birds guy. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so I wanted to talk about one of the interesting ones is the Walsh McLean mansion, which is now home to the Indonesian embassy. So Thomas Francis Walsh built this 60 room

neo-baroque mansion in 1903. An Irish immigrant who as a young man had struck it rich mining gold in Colorado, Walsh brought his wife, Kerry Bell Walsh, and children to Washington in 1897. He hired New York architect Henry Anderson to design a suitably impressive place. Love his stuff.

To a suitably impressive place to entertain Washington's elite during the winter social season, daughter Evelyn married Edward Beale McLean, heir to the Washington Post fortune and famously owned the Hope Diamond. Okay. The Republic of Indonesia purchased the building in 1951 for its embassy.

For $25,000. Harry Winston went on to purchase the Maclean's entire jewelry collection, including the Hope Diamond, which is now in the Smithsonian. Yeah, I see it. And I gotta tell you guys, every time I see this fucking diamond, the gears start turning, you know what I mean?

It's hard to see the Hope diamond and not be like look around the room and like look at the cameras and where perhaps any blind spots might be. You know what I mean? If there's like a skylight in the ceiling that you could probably laser cut through and then repel down.

I'm not saying it'd be easy. I don't have that thought when I go in there, but there is something about just even saying the Hope Diamond out loud that makes you think. I could get it. Am I about to start some kind of crazy? I don't want to. They would complicate my life so much

to even have to do a heist, let alone get caught for one inevitably and go to jail forever. But like it's an intrusive thought. So a lot of what you were talking about, the embassies that look kind of familiar to the location, were built more recently. So for example, China's embassy was designed by IM.M. Pei, the Pritzker Prize

winner. Have you heard about I.M. Pei? I don't think so. Like a famous architect. The building opened in 2009, emerges traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary flair. There's another embassy that was built in 2004 by another Pritzker Prize winning architect for Spain. It is composed of traditional limestone, topped with modern glass, clad edition. The British Embassy is one of the first

to be constructed in DC. It opened in 1930. You'd think there'd be a little bad blood there, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, no, that's what I mean. I guess we used to fuck with them. And so it's like, I guess it's sort of like. That is what my history book said.

Yeah. When it talked about that. Like we fucked with it, like it obviously broke very, it got so bad, but like we did fuck with you before. And in recognition of that, you may have one house. One house. Choose wisely. I will say it is like the largest and oldest embassy

on Embassy Row. It is close to the US Vice President's home and has more than 400 staff members. Jesus Christ. And a statue of Winston Churchill. That's wild. I don't know that I've seen that one. I probably have and didn't know that it was this.

Yeah, I mean, I can show you a picture. It didn't look familiar to me. No. But you- I'm sure we've driven by it though. Yeah, of course. So the thing that made me think about this, so the month of May,

DC has something called Passport DC. Whoa. Which is a lot of these embassies open up. It's a month long showcase of the international diplomatic community. It happens annually and a lot of the embassies will open their doors and have cultural events. That is fucking sick.

That is happening all month. We should do that. We already missed, there was an international city food festival, a flower mart, an EU open house, but throughout the month, there's a series of restaurants that promote their region's food.

That's really cool. There's also international programs. Yeah, it's just, it's happening all over the place. June 1st apparently is Fiesta Asia, a street fair and a signature celebration that occurs every May, although this year, June 1st. Yeah. That includes crafts, live performances, food.

Let's get there. Yeah. I know that they do, I like, you know, follow some DC like blogs that are like stuff to do this weekend. I know. And a lot of the times they do, I like, you know, follow some DC, like blogs that are like stuff to do this weekend. I know. And a lot of the times they do promote events that the embassies like put on and they are usually like free and very well attended

and they sound neat, but we just, we never, that's never like our first thought of something to do when we, you know, we've got the boys. Yeah, it, you know, it's just like, when you have very young children with very short attention spans, you have to like sell them an event. Yes.

I talk about this with Griffin a lot, like what's our angle on this pitch? Because a lot of times there is a thing we wanna do, but we have to figure out how are we gonna market it to our children in a way that they will get excited. They don't get that into like Epcot. They don't get that into the World Showcase at Epcot. And I know for a fact that that's probably

more entertaining to kids than going to a- We could say that Fiesta Asia had chicken nuggets and french fries on offer. On offer and also the Ratatouille ride. And Pokemon. Pokemon. Then both boys would be there. That would be sick and a trampoline.

Yeah, for sure. And Mickey Mouse. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. So Disney World. So I think we just described, yeah. Hey, do you wanna know what our friends at home are talking about?

Yes. China says, my small wonder is still being in love with the state I was born and raised in. I've been in Vermont for 33 years now and I still get blown away by the landscapes, the mountains, the trees and leaves. I feel like a tourist in my own state most days wanting to pull over in the middle of a commute

to take pictures. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Oh, Vermont. If you have met somebody from Vermont, you know they're from Vermont. Yeah, for sure. A mutual friend of ours, Blanche. Oh yeah. From Vermont.

That total, I didn't even know that, but I fucking knew it. Yeah, right? Totally. Huge Vermont. Everybody I meet from Vermont has like a real chill, peaceful vibe and they just, they love the earth. Yeah. And I get it, man. Yeah, I gotta get up there. I don't think we've ever been to Vermont.

No, and we're closer than ever. I do those like state, not quizzes. I did one of those very recently to disastrous effect, but like click on the states you've been to. And like there's like five or six I haven't been to because of the work that I'm in. Vermont's one of them. Gotta get up there.

Damn it. And Wyoming too, right? Wyoming, yeah, for sure. Do want to go to Wyoming. Ruby says, my small wonder is returning to school online after several years and discovering that I am still a good student. I was worried I'd struggle, but so far so good.

Oh man. Did you wrestle with this when you were like going to grad school? Yes, I mean, for a lot of reasons. Like I had been, I mean, for a lot of reasons. I had been, I mean, at that point, I'd only been out of school for two years. So you had a gap between your undergraduate

and your post-grad? Yeah, I graduated college in 2004. I entered graduate school in 2006. So I really only took a year off, and then my second year, I did the GRE and applied and whatever, and then, yeah. But I was going from like a big state school to like a small like private university

and it was like very intimidating. A lot of people had come straight from college. I just felt like I don't know what my experience is gonna be like. And I was definitely dealing with a lot of imposter syndrome pretty much the majority of and I was definitely dealing with a lot of imposter syndrome pretty much the majority of time I was there. So yeah, I totally feel this concern and experience.

This is gonna be exciting to just start cracking those books and be like, I fucking got it. I fucking still got it, man. Raise your hand, teacher, teacher. I fucking still got it, man. Highlighting every line in the textbook like I know everyone. Yeah.

I'm gonna remember all this shit forever. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you to Bowen and Augustus for the use of our theme song, Money Won't Pay.
