**Rachel McElroy** (0:17)
Hi, this is Rachel McElroy.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:18)
Hello, this is Griffin McElroy.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:20)
And this is Wonderful.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:21)
Welcome to Wonderful. It's a podcast where we talk about things we like that's good, that we're into, could be anything. It's a surprise slime bag.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:28)
Big flowy pants.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:29)
Whoa! You don't even know when they're gonna come at you. You probably thought you had a good minute or two before we started talking about good stuff, but Rachel's out here, she's throwing fucking haymakers from the starting gun.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:39)
I wanted to say it before I forgot it.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:41)
That's awesome.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:42)
That's my small wonder.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:43)
That's awesome. You've never done this before.

**Rachel McElroy** (0:45)
I know.

**Griffin McElroy** (0:46)
That's so cool. You just like had the folks, you can see the moment the magic happened. People who have never seen you have that inspiration strike, and now we've captured it live on camera. That's so exciting.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:00)
I've got another one.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:01)
Oh shit.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:03)
When you mentioned video, the little clips of the video clips of Wonderful, and everybody always says really nice things in the comments.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:11)
Yeah, they talk about how in love we are.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:13)
How in love we are.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:14)
It's like, yeah, it's true.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:19)
Yeah, and I know the internet is a scary place, but it has really restored my faith in social media.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:27)
Well, social media didn't do it. We put in the work to make the good love.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:31)
No, I'm talking about the comments.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:32)
We made the good love and everybody else is talking about it.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:34)
I'm talking about the comments.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:35)
And I'm glad people are recognizing it. I just want credit to go where credit is due, which is us doing the work for the good love we make.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:45)
I don't like that.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:46)
I didn't like it either.

**Rachel McElroy** (1:47)
We don't really say make love in this house.

**Griffin McElroy** (1:49)
We don't, we don't make love.
I don't want to finish the line. Isn't that the line from 50 Shades of Grey when he's like, I don't make love? I F. You saw this movie, I did not see.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:02)
I never did.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:03)
I thought you went with like our friends in Austin.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:05)
New bonus content. No, I saw Magic Mike 2 with friends in a theater. I saw the notebook at somebody's house.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:14)
Did you see a Twilight? One of the Twilight?

**Rachel McElroy** (2:16)
No, never seen a Twilight.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:18)
Okay, maybe I imagine this. Anyway, My Small Wonder.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:20)
Okay.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:21)
My Small Wonder, I set that up. You caught me by surprise with your sneak attack, Small Wonder.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:28)
I know, I'm sorry.

**Griffin McElroy** (2:30)
I bought a new suite of virtual instruments called Omnisphere 3
I bought it while you were out of town. It was pretty expensive, but I was looking for some inspiration because I haven't been messing around with some of my other VSTs. And it's pretty crazy, man. There's like 70,000 fucking sounds on this thing.

**Rachel McElroy** (2:52)
Why did you think it was important to say that you bought it while I was out of town?

**Griffin McElroy** (2:57)
I think that the price of it, I don't know, when you weren't around, I felt like I could buy a sneaky little virtual instrument.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:07)
Okay.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:07)
I mean, it's ostensibly for work, but I haven't had the most time to do music for Taz lately. But also, I don't know, I've been struggling to find sounds that excite me. And I realized that I like that sort of inspiration and jumping off point for making a song.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:25)
It's a business expense.

**Griffin McElroy** (3:25)
So this is the one that a lot of people were like, this is the big dog, this is the big dog leagues.

**Rachel McElroy** (3:31)
What kind of sounds you got on there?

**Griffin McElroy** (3:32)
Oh man, there's got that one that's like, and we got that one that's like, so like all the hits, all the big ones. No, it's like a sampler with like a bunch of sounds, but it's also a, you know, wavetable oscillator with a lot of different capabilities. And so I barely understand what that means for what it is worth.
