Yeah.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah.

Is it healthier to take a bath or a shower?

From a medical perspective?

I think a bath's more relaxing.

Okay, which is better, bacon or ham?

Which is better for the heart?

Which is more heart healthy?

That's a top-up.

Okay,

we'll say bacon.

Is screaming a good cardiovascular workout?

Such a dummy.

All right.

Time to take a bath while eating bacon and screaming my head off.

Today's episode: Nick.

You've probably heard me say this.

Connection is one of the biggest keys to happiness.

And one of my favorite ways to build that, scruffy hospitality.

inviting people over even when things aren't perfect.

Because just being together, laughing, chatting, cooking, makes you feel good.

Hey.

Hey, how's it going?

How are you?

The clock's moved forward an hour, so it's not all dark anymore.

Huh.

These two subdued dudes aren't on lewds.

They're Canadian, and their lack of expression is an expression of their proud Canadian heritage.

One of these Canadians is me, Jonathan Goldstein, and the other is Nick.

Nick grew up in Ontario with his older brother, Chris.

They had the same dad, but different moms.

Still, Chris would always say, There's no such thing as a half-brother, no matter what anyone says, like we're brothers.

Chris split his time between his parents' houses, so the brothers mostly saw each other on weekends.

But I think because of the rarity of his presence, it was that much more special to spend time together.

We'd stay up until four in the morning, playing video games, listening to music.

Nick says his brother introduced him to the music that would form the blueprint for his taste.

Chris loved electronica and house music, but his special love was beatboxing.

And Chris was an amazing beatboxer.

It was like relentless.

Like, we would go to McDonald's and the car ride there would be beatboxing.

Sitting down in the booth would be beatboxing.

It would just be like constant.

I'm not taking the picture.

Nick sends me a grainy YouTube video from 2006.

In it, a shaggy-haired teenage Chris is leaning against a wall with a group of friends outside a bowling alley.

He pulls the gum from his mouth and, as casually as whistling a tune,

starts to beatbox.

It's hard to understand how the sound of a whole drum line is coming from the mouth of one 17-year-old boy.

In the YouTube comments, a 12-year-old Nick has written, you are my hero.

Only a few months after the video was shot, Nick remembers coming downstairs one morning to find find his mom sobbing.

She told him Chris had been in an accident.

At which point, I thought, okay, Chris has been in an accident and broke his arm.

Chris has been in an accident and broke his nose, whatever it might be.

Yeah.

You know, when nothing that bad has happened to you in your life, you don't jump to the worst case scenario when someone says there's been an accident

and then

Chris had died.

Chris had been killed in a car crash.

He was 17 years old.

I feel like I mourned in the way a 12-year-old would.

Like, I would often find myself doing things that I would think that Chris would have thought were cool to do and trying to keep those parts of him that I admired alive.

So I got like a little bit more into beatboxing

and, of course, listening to music, to music that he liked, like mostly bonobo.

Bonobo is a British DJ and Electronica musician.

He was Chris's favorite, and so became a favorite of Nick's, too.

And even as Nick grew older, Chris's musical influence remained.

Through the years, he kept an ear out for new albums by Chris's favorite bands, always wondering what Chris would make of them.

Which brings us to 2017.

By this point, Nick was in his early 20s.

He was at his parents' place having a beer with a friend when the friend put on the newest bonobo album.

And he started playing this track that opens like very clearly with beatboxing.

It was just a short sample, a few seconds of beatboxing that bonobo had looped several times.

And the second I heard that, I just like, I was like, that's Chris for sure.

The sound of his beatboxing is like just totally drilled into my head.

Like, I just, I just know what it sounds like in the same way.

I know what my wife's sneeze sounds like.

There's, of course, like the very logical part of me that was being like, there's no way.

This is just some random sample.

There's no way that could be Chris.

But the other 99% of me, I'm just like, that's gotta be him.

Like, that's gotta be him.

In that uncanny moment, as he listened to the sound of his brother being brought back to life a decade after his death, Nick looked over at his friend and said, nothing.

I remember not wanting to bring it up in the moment as to not like kind of freak him out to be like, well, this song reminds me of my dead brother.

Nick's modus operandi is to never impose a burden on others.

But as a result, even into his adulthood, he's never quite figured out how to broach the subject of his brother's death, even with some of his closest friends.

Many of them don't even know Nick ever had an older brother at all.

But in the weeks that followed, Nick played the song in private over and over.

The experience of listening to it and feeling Chris's breath in it it provided him with a space to grieve.

Since Chris was cremated, there isn't a grave for Nick to visit, and so the sonic space became all the more invaluable.

But Nick wants to be absolutely sure that he is hearing his brother's voice.

Despite his initial certainty, a part of him wonders, is his brain just working through the grief?

Or is he really hearing his dead brother's voice in a track by a Grammy-nominated musician?

Nick has several points of evidence to support the latter.

First, of course, it just sounds like Chris.

Second, Chris often reached out to musicians he admired.

In fact, at the Ottawa Jazz Fest, Chris even navigated backstage to meet Bonobo.

The two ended up chatting about sampling.

In a bid to further impress Bonobo, Nick thinks it's entirely possible Chris followed up that interaction by sending him beatboxing samples.

Samples Bonobo might have saved.

The third point of evidence: the song's name.

Ontario.

The Canadian province Nick and Chris are from.

Bonobo is from England, but he met Chris in Ontario.

Nick has tried everything to get a definitive answer.

He searched online for information about bonobo samples, and about once a year, he'll reach out to bonobo, his management, and his record label.

I'll like go on an emailing spree, and I'll reach out to like everyone who's ever sniffed bonobo, being like, I do not want to like say that my brother deserves credit for anything or like

any payment or anything like that.

I just want to know.

And they've never responded?

They never responded?

I mean, it's not like the Rolling Stones, right?

I mean, you'd think that he would be a little more accessible.

Yeah.

I'm just looking up bonobo just to get a sense of, but all I'm coming up with is, wow, amazing pictures of primates.

Oh, yeah.

Holy cow.

I'm just looking.

Oh, God, it's very moving.

You haven't experienced true emotion until you've seen a picture of two bonobos playing with their baby.

And then there's their personalities.

Did you know bonobos share food with strangers?

Or that they make love face to face?

Or that female bonobos show a preference for unaggressive males.

That is, males who are subdued, not rude.

But Nick did not approach me to learn about bonobos, even though they are wonderful.

Nick came to me for help.

It would be amazing to use your fame and clout and power

to get a hold of the people that I haven't been able to get a hold of.

Nick has an outsized view of my fame and clout and power.

But it's not like I'll be trying to get an actual bonobo on the phone, which, by the way, would be adorable.

I'll only be trying to get bonobo on the phone.

So, I promise to try.

And Nick, in a subdued way, is thrilled.

Awesome.

Thank you.

And in my own subdued way, so am I.

I even break out a little beatboxing beatboxing of Moose Boosh.

Did you hear that?

Yeah, a little scratching.

Is it possible for a beatboxer to be recognized by just a brief sample?

Can one actually identify beatboxing as one would a voice?

In short, does Nick's story make sense?

Before approaching Bonobo, I want to consult an expert, and Nick thinks he knows just the person.

Beatboxing icon and former member of the Roots, Rozelle.

I remember Chris saying that Rozelle is the greatest of all time.

I know this other guy named Devin.

Nice.

Did I mention him last time we spoke?

Devin was a Gimlet intern who participated in many beatboxing competitions.

Every time I'd run into him, like say in the bathroom or about to go into the bathroom or coming out of the bathroom, I'd say, hey, Devin, want to spit a little something for me?

And he'd laugh and say, maybe later.

Yeah,

Devin's pretty cool.

Rozelle is like beatboxing royalty.

But Nick seems super stoked about this Rozelle guy.

But, I mean, no, like,

in no way do I mean to discredit Devin.

I send Rozelle an email, and when I don't hear back, my producer Khalila finds a phone number for him, which, oddly, is listed on his Instagram.

Is it possible that he's not aware of it?

That he did it by accident?

That would be weird.

I don't know.

Look at me.

I'm constantly making mistakes.

How old is he?

He's 57.

Oh, 57.

What an inspiration.

Wow, now you're more excited to talk to him because you're contemporaries.

He's 57 and he's still beatboxing away.

Fantastic.

Leave your name and your numbers.

And someone will return your call.

I think we got the right number.

The mailbox is full.

I cannot accept any messages at this time.

Of course, it is.

Devin?

Remember that guy I said I knew named Devin?

Great beatboxer, really cool guy?

Hey, yeah.

After Nick's hero, Rozelle, crapped the beatboxing bed, I was blessed with the good fortune to get Devin on the phone.

For pro beatboxers, it's very, very easy to tell who the beatboxer is just by a quick, you know, sample of their beatboxing.

Right.

Your idea that somebody could recognize it just from the beatboxing is totally on point.

After Devin tells me that I'm totally on point, I ask if he could listen to the bonobo sample alongside a recording of Chris to see if it's the same person.

Let's take a gander.

And you went,

I thought you were going to launch into some beatboxing.

Now you've given me an appetite.

Play Ontario by Bonobo.

Devon forges ahead, ignoring my hint to rustle up a tasty beatboxing booyabaise.

Ontario by bonobo.

Next, for a point of comparison, I send him the YouTube video of Chris.

And to my surprise, I've seen this video.

Really?

swear I've seen this.

How?

Why would you have seen it?

Because

YouTube was the only way people learned how to beatbox.

And this video is like,

he has really, really good skills.

Also, for that time, it's shocking to me that he would be this good in 2006.

That's crazy.

Those are really impressive beatboxing skills.

So impressive, in fact, that Devin wonders, if indeed Chris is being sampled on the track, why wouldn't Bonobo use a flashier example of his talent?

Why would he instead loop something that sounds so sedate?

Like, just very basic, that sort of would be the type of thing anyone would do as their first sounds so I just don't know why he would take some random kid sample of the most basic version of beatboxing and put it in.

Stylistically, Devin isn't able to link the bonobo sample to the YouTube video, so I send him another example of Chris's work, hoping it might help clarify.

Okay, I heard something interesting.

What's that?

Right there.

Okay, so.

Is it the t sound?

Yeah, he does that.

It's the same thing from the bonobo song.

It does actually sound pretty similar now that I'm hearing just that part.

Now that Devin's confirmed the plausibility of Nick's story, reaching out to Bonobo seems like a reasonable next step.

So I email his record label.

Then I email his management.

Then I email his record label again.

And his management again.

After waiting several weeks, I call in a favor from a friend with music industry connections who gets me a more direct email address.

But just like Nick, I hear nothing back.

Thanks for calling Red

So I try phoning Bonobo's management company, but there's no operator, no directory.

I have no way of knowing what extension to dial.

Let me just try a random one, maybe.

Invalid entry.

Please try again.

Invalid entry.

Please try again.

1-1.

Invalid entry.

Oh, for

Yet I still can't get anyone to even engage.

Maybe there's something about the whole whole business of sampling and authorship that's making them touchy.

Because when sampling took off in the 70s, almost nothing was cleared.

But then, about a decade later, the tide turned and the lawsuits began.

The Beastie Boys are still paying for the samples on Paul's boutique.

Kanye West was sued by the parents of a child he sampled from a YouTube video.

And just last summer, there was drama between Beyoncé and Khalees because Beyonce used a sample from Milkshake without Khalise's permission.

Is it possible that for all our reassurances, Bonobo's people still think we're angling for a lawsuit?

And then, at long last, Bonobo's people finally get back to me.

I'm sorry for the delay in responding, the email reads.

I did get confirmation that the person you've emailed us about was not sampled in the song Ontario.

Thank you, and best.

There's no sense of who was doing the confirming, no mention of Chris by name.

He's only referred to as the person you've emailed us about.

I write back asking who and what was sampled, so I can close the loop on this whole thing.

After waiting three months and receiving no reply, I follow up, but I never get a response.

I did get confirmation that the person you've emailed us about, you know, being your brother was not sampled in the song Ontario.

After all the waiting, all I have for Nick is a generic letter that turns his beautiful talisman, the song he's been listening to for five years, to dust.

I wish that I even had an email from them that was a little bit

considerate.

Yeah, for sure.

Yeah.

But yeah, thanks again so much for

looking into it.

I really appreciate it.

While Nick's subdued reaction is to be expected, as a subdued Canadian myself, I can tell the news hurts.

But being the kind of person who never wants to burden, Nick shows more concern for my disappointment than his own.

Before this whole undertaking, Ontario could exist in a gray zone.

Nick could believe he was hearing his brother.

Now that that's been taken away from him, he's lost his place to mourn.

But maybe there's another way to provide Nick with such a space.

And so I brainstorm ideas for a new Sonic memorial.

Maybe I could get a remix from that guy Devon whom I think I already mentioned.

What about, offers my producer Khalila, that other musical act Chris liked.

Do you mean Devin?

I ask.

No, she says.

The herbalizer.

Khalila's contradicting me isn't due to insubordination alone.

She's referencing a detail from that story about Chris's meeting bonobo at the Ottawa Jazz Festival.

Nick had mentioned that when Chris first slipped backstage, he ran into another group.

And he's like, hey, can you guys tell me where Bonobo is?

I really want to meet him.

He's my favorite.

One of the men in the group turned to Chris and said in a pronounced British accent, Bonobo, like fuck bonobo, we're the herbalizer.

The herbalizer.

Potty mouth, bonobo hating, the herbalizer.

The herbalizer would go on to become another one of Chris's all-time favorites, and Nick's as well.

And so I email an address I find online and explain Nick's situation.

And then I make my request.

Maybe the Herbalizer could create a song that features Chris's beatboxing.

Whereas I'd spent months trying to get anyone even remotely associated with bonobo to respond, I get an email from the herbalizer that same day.

It's from the band's co-creator, Jake Wary, who explains that while the herbalizer is now defunct, he's working on a new project with a new partner.

He tells me they'd be up to hear more about the idea.

So, a few days later, I get on a video call with James Moss, aka DJ Sterling Moss, and Jake Wary, aka the Herbalizer.

We're British and we say the herbalize us.

Sorry, did I say that?

It's the bloody herbalizer.

Herbalizer, okay.

Jake has the vibe of a character from a Guy Richie film, the ex-rugby player who works as an enforcer for a loan shark played by Jason Statham.

You know, scary.

But he is well within his rights to be tearing me a new one.

I apologize for the faux pas.

Oh,

I'm only kidding.

I kind of loved it.

Sure, I've produced radio stories, but I've never once produced a song.

Not even one of those public radio premium ones, Ira Glass and Peter Sagal singing a parody version of Biggie and Puff Daddy's More Money, More Problems, but with lyrics about how your money solves problems.

Problems inherent to sustaining important journalism.

So with neither musical training nor the slightest idea what I'm doing, I start music producing, offering suggestions for the vibe I'm going for.

Elegiac might be overstating it, but like allowing some of that feeling of loss into it or.

You know, I think the

way that he beatboxes is not wistful.

The story might be, but that's not the way that he performs.

Yeah, I was just thinking that as well.

I mean, like...

Wistful beatboxing.

What was I thinking?

James James and Jake are well within their rights to be tearing me yet another new one.

It should be more like a celebratory, positive, happy thing.

It should be about him living on through the music.

But I think to see what happens rather than trying to force it to go in a direction, just let the let the vibe happen.

Man.

Throughout our conversation, my mind keeps turning back to one question.

Why would two popular, successful musicians be so amenable to talking to a first-time music producer like myself?

James has performed for crowds that have numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and Jake has had songs featured in Hollywood films.

Why would they entertain a request to write a whole piece of music honoring someone they don't even know?

But it won't be long before the answer to my question is revealed.

And in the meantime, when I tell Nick the idea, he's thrilled.

Walking through a really nice suburb of London on my way to see Jake.

In June, Nick travels to England to see family.

But knowing Jake lives in London and being such a big fan, Nick nervously asks me if Jake might want to meet up.

I figure it's not a bad idea for the two of them to get to know each other.

It might even help the song.

So I asked Jake if he'd be open to it.

And once again, Jake surprises me.

Not only does he agree, but he invites Nick over to his home.

It's a lovely little street.

It's not where I would imagine Jake of the Herbalizer to live.

Nick records the visit and tells me about it later.

It was a little nerve-wracking walking up there.

Hey.

Hey, Jake.

How's it going, eh?

It's good, eh?

Man, this is surreal to meet you, I have to say.

Honestly.

I wake up in the morning, I put my pants on, just like you.

Yeah, I think I was a bit intimidated, both it being someone who I kind of admire, whose music, especially, I mean, I admire, and then also just like the fact that they're British and, you know, have that, you know, a different sense of humor and a bit of an edge to them and stuff.

I was here visiting my cousin.

He's like a die-hard oasis fan.

Oh, he'll guy, right?

Jake ushers Nick into the house and doesn't bother standing on ceremony.

Almost the second Nick's inside, before he's even positioned his microphone, Jake gets right into it.

So, how long is it since your brother passed?

2006, I think.

So,

my wife dies in in 2004.

My wife died in 2004, Jake says.

And this, it turns out, is the reason why Jake's been so open to Nick.

He relates to him.

Around the same time Nick lost Chris, Jake lost his wife Mary, also unexpectedly and also tragically.

I was on the plane, going to DJ in Potomac, and I got a call from my neighbor saying, go, get to the hospital, Kiss Hospital.

The neighbor had heard Jake's two sons, only four and five at the time, crying next door.

An hour later, the kids were still crying.

She heard my little one say, puts a pillow under her head.

It was then the neighbor jumped over the back fence and found Mary lying on the floor, dead.

Mary had been emptying the dishwasher, hanging the utensils up on a rack, when she suddenly collapsed.

It would take a few days to work out what had happened, but it seems a screw on the utensil rack had connected with a live wire under the wall.

Mary was electrocuted.

It was a freak accident.

Losing Mary was really tough, but I had two little kids and I thought, as a testament to my love to her, I thought I'm not going to let this fucking destroy me.

I'm going to be the best dad I can.

Like I was essentially a stranger walking into his home and he told me his life story within five minutes, which is admirable.

You know, something that I wish, I really wish I did have more.

The confidence just to be open, just to be brutally open with everyone.

While Nick often worries that talking about his grief might be a burden to others, with Jake, knowing he's been through something similar, that burden disappeared.

And so Nick was more open than he usually is.

He and Jake chatted about their respective losses.

There's something he said at one point that really stuck with me.

That's like, you know, once you hit a certain, you know, a certain low point, you just can't get any lower than that.

You know, you kind of bought him out.

And I related to that, despite the fact that on paper, his hardship seriously outweighs mine.

You know,

it felt like I've been where he's been.

He has the most lovely little backyard with a cherry tree in it and had a few cherries.

These are my architecture plants.

It's a fucking pain growing around vegetables.

And then in the backyard, there's this studio, which is like also equally magical.

It's a big, big shed, got everything.

It's got a full drum kit, insane collection of vinyl, all sorts of other instruments this is one of my favorite ones

in the studio jake plays nick some of the things he's been working on as they continue to talk i've had some

down down down moments days weeks months years and music has definitely really been very cathartic for me.

When he was at his lowest, Jake couldn't bring himself to make any music at all.

It was a drought that lasted years.

But lately, he's been on a tear.

He tells Nick about a night last January, just after leaving the studio.

Two in the morning, I was pretty high and went to bed, and I was just playing the tracks on my phone on repeat.

I was just like, I found myself chuckling aloud to myself with this like deep belly laugh,

with this profound sense of just joy that the music I was listening to sounded fantastic and the realization that I'd made it.

I just couldn't believe it.

This sounds amazing, and I've made it.

Jake's collaborator, James, stops by to also meet Nick.

Nice to meet you, James.

And Nick tells him about that fateful meeting backstage at the Ottawa Jazz Fest.

Fuck Bonobo, we're the herbalizer, and that's a fair response.

Yeah, exactly.

What's that you?

Yeah.

I mean, he made me a quiche.

In all fairness, it was a microwave quiche, but it was a very good microwave quiche.

Threw together a little salad.

Thank you, sir.

We ate quiche and salad in his backyard, and I think that was one of those surreal moments where it's like, you know, I'm not particularly religious, but if Chris were watching down on me in that moment, he'd be having a laugh that I'm having quiche with the fucking herb blaster.

Yeah, if Chris could see this, he'd think it's insanely cool.

Nick is a husband, a new dad.

But no matter how life moves along, and no matter how old he gets, he'll always continue to think of Chris as the cool older brother, his hero.

And eating quiche with the fucking herbalizer, Chris would definitely approve.

We're gonna have to go to get that train.

At the end of all this, Jake offered to drive me to my train to the airport, which was so so nice of him.

And I honestly, I don't think I would have made my flight if it wasn't for that.

Thanks again, men, so much for all this.

The moral of the story is indeed: fuck Bonobo, we're at the herbalizer.

Hey.

Hey, Nick.

Hey.

How's it going?

It's good.

I miss you guys.

Three months after they bonded with Nick that day in London, Jake and James get back in touch.

And they've made a song.

A song featuring Chris's beatboxing.

So we all get on a call together to listen.

Okay, here we go.

Turn it up, Nick.

The track is called, We Are the Paradox.

You know, we wanted to build something around your brother.

He's the engine.

And I had this really real

feeling towards the end.

It was like, you know, he's back.

he's here now, and it's great to work with him, even though he's not here.

Leaving Jake's one day, James said he had this lyric rattling around in his head, put the beat in the box.

So, they added it to the song.

There's a lyric that says, Cut the phone, stop the clocks, which is a reference to a W.H.

Alden poem called Funeral Blues.

It's an ode to a lost loved one.

We are the paradox which you can interpret however you like.

It will mean what it means to you as it means what it means to us.

Later, Nick also plays the song for his dad.

Wow.

Unbelievable.

And then at the end, everything drops out and it's kind of like sending Chris back to

back to the world that he's in now.

So kind of everything fades out and then Chris kind of goes into the distance as well.

It's like sort of saying goodbye at the end.

just incredible.

To have that much life and energy in the track was something Chris would have been happy about, you know.

I don't know.

It just feels right.

It feels right, and I'm glad to feel like

it's mine.

We're all a mess of paradoxes.

Believing in things we know can't be true.

Missing the dead, but also unwilling to talk about them.

We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express.

When it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out,

there's always music.

This is our 50th episode.

Next week, 51 is our final episode of the season.

And if I'm not mistaken, I believe it is our longest episode yet.

So, see you then.

We are the paradox.

In the middle, in the box,

in the middle, in the box.

Cut the phone, stop the trucks.

We have the games.

In the middle, in the box,

in the main, middle, in the box.

We have

to chop the choppy topic

with the ducks of the box.

In the beginning, the boss, in the bleak games of boss.

I'm fine with soldiers.

We have a paradox to witch.

In the week, in the boss,

in the beat, games box.

I hear the heat dancing drops.

We are the paradox to witch.

Starbucks pumpkin spice latte arrives at the end of every summer like a pick-me-up to save save us from the dreary return from our summer breaks.

It reminds us that we're actually entering the best time of year, fall.

Fall is when music sounds the best.

Whether listening on a walk with headphones or in a car during your commute, something about the fall foliage makes music hit just a little closer to the bone.

And with the pumpkin spice latte now available at Starbucks, made with real pumpkin, you can elevate your listening and your taste all at the same time.

The Starbucks pumpkin spice latte.

Get it while it's hot or iced.

You've probably heard me say this.

Connection is one of the biggest keys to happiness.

And one of my favorite ways to build that, scruffy hospitality, inviting people over even when things aren't perfect.

Because just being together, laughing, chatting, cooking, makes you feel good.
