Thank you so much.

♪ I'm going for the best

[Sam]
That was rock legend
Mercy Lewis.

Now here's a fun fact,
this song features a buzuk,

which is essentially
a long-necked, fretted lute.

See if you can spot it.

[Adam]
Nice touch.

[Greta]
Uh, Sam, can I see you
in my office please?

[rhythmic music]

-Uh.
-Sound interesting.

-Yeah, I'll be right back.
-Okay, see you later.

♪

[Greta]
A buzuk?

[Sam]
It's like a guitar
but with more strings

and the sound
is so much crisper--

[Greta]
Sam, how do you expect to get
people to listen to Music Thread

if you keep talking about
obscure instruments

and the details
in the liner notes?

People don't need
to think about music,

they need to feel it.

[Sam]
I like to think about music.

I know everything there
is to know about music.

[Greta]
And I know everything there is
to know about Microsoft Excel,

but that doesn't mean
it makes a good podcast.

You can't be afraid
to let your guard down.

Maybe that's why you won't
consider my suggestion.

-Ugh.
-You've been here three years

and that's three years
of Nacho-ordinary Thursdays

and not once have you
brought a date.

[Sam]
I'm not gonna find the
love of my life on a blind date.

[Greta]
It could spark something.

[Sam]
Sparks burn houses down, Greta.

Love is built.

You don't have to worry
about it, I have a plan.

[Greta]
Standing in a room
with your attractive co-worker

listening to buzuk solos

is not the same as building
a relationship.

If I didn't know any better,
I'd say that Phillip guy

-ruined you forever.
-I'm sorry,

did you want to talk to me
about something

other than the instruments
I feature

on my thoroughly
researched podcast?

[Greta]
There is a board meeting
in ten days.

I've run the numbers
and I'm gonna be hard-pressed

to justify Music Thread.

[Sam]
They want to cancel me.

♪

They can't.

Music is everything.

Songs tell the stories
of our lives.

With a single playlist
I can take you back

to where you were
and what you were feeling

at any point in time
in your life.

Like a great big,
musical time machine.

[Greta]
Now you're talking,
do that, Sam.

-Take us on a time machine!
-Yes!

Oh, ah, oh, so sorry.

Time machine ready for launch!

[Jake]
I have a weakness

Me too.

[Jake]
Listen, I know
this might sound crazy

sometime or coffee?

[Becky]
Yeah, I'd like that.

[Alex]
And.

[Jake]
It doesn't matter if your car
has negative ground

and the other car
has positive ground,

or if you're on an alternator
and they are on an generator--

-No, cut, cut.
-What?

[Alex]
All right, uh,
your car doesn't start

so you Google how to fix it

and this really boring guy
in a jumpsuit

basically reads you
the instruction manual.

Do you think you'll remember him
the next time

-you need to fix your car?
-I'm sorry, okay,

she even had
this tiny toy trumpet

hanging from
her rearview mirror.

You know, like in that movie Dad
loved, It Happened One Night.

[Alex]
You're still hung up
on this girl.

You provided 15 minutes
of roadside assistance

and suddenly you're Clark Gable.

[Jake]
Find your feisty female,
Dad would say,

like the Claudette Colbert
character.

[Alex]
I got you.

[Jake]
I felt this spark--
No, no, more like a flash.

You know how Dad said,
"You'll know the one

when you get a surge
in your hard-wiring"?

[Alex]
Yeah, we'll my hard-wiring
is telling me

that we should be looking
at that place on 7th Street.

Nobody's using it.

I'm telling you, man, franchise,

opportunity, we could meet
with some architects,

build this place up,
really put our foot in it.

Going big isn't what Dad wanted.

The Honest Mechanic.

[Alex]
Yeah, but that's Dad's dreams.

Say you find this Becky person,

you get married,
have a couple kids,

you know, buy a house.

How are you gonna
pay for college?

Now where do you want
to be in five years?

[Jake]
Hopefully with her.

If I could just get her number
out of my phone.

So, Adam, thanks for pulling all
of this together.

I'm really excited
about this lineup.

-Me too.
-Yeah.

-So I'll speak to you later.
-Sure.

-Cool, okay.
-Awesome.

I wait--I was actually thinking
maybe we could talk

about the revamp
there at Cherub club.

[Adam]
Yes, that is a good idea,

-I have so many--
-There's out and towards you,

I repeat, I've got Sam Sanders.

-What, where?
-Let's go.

[Sam]
Where are we going?

-Excuse me.
-We're in the middle

-of a livestream.
-What does that have to do

-with me?
-You're our host.

-What, how?
-Just follow the script,

take a few calls and play
the songs on the list.

[Sam]
Ugh, you want me
to host Love Beats?

[Greta]
Yes, until our host gets back.

[Kathy]
We're back in 30, everybody.

[Sam]
But I've never even listened
to this show before.

-I'm not prepared.
-Just do what you always do.

You said yourself,
"Music is a journey."

[Kathy]
And, five, four, three.

[Sam]
Why would I know
anything about Love--

love--Love Beats.

Welcome back to Love Beats.

The place to be

if it's love that you're in.

Is that grammatically correct,
ending in a preposition?

But that matters not

when we have a song for you?

Later, we have a song
for you cats later.

[lively music]

But for now,
we're talking about unicorns.

Love is like a unicorn,

it's rare, so rare.

Or maybe it's like a bear,

all cuddly and warm.

Or maybe for you,
love is hibernating

and it wakes you up
and you just wanna grab it

and frame it and hang it
on the wall.

♪

And it's time for
our Reunited Segment!

And we're going to the phones,

a live call.

Hello, welcome to Love Beats.

Who do I have on the line?

Hi, yes, this is Jake.

[Sam]
Well, hello, Jake,
who is that special someone

I can reunite you with?

Yeah, I met this woman, Becky.

Her car broke down,
she gave me her number

but I dropped my phone
and it got run over.

Bad luck right?

Yeah, so I know it sounds crazy

but there are all these
things about her

and I was hoping
you could reunite us.

Oh.

Wait a second, does it count

if they don't really
know each other?

[Jake]
It counts!

Of course it counts.

I was actually hoping you could
play this song--

[Sam]
Hang on, really?

Don't these segments usually
like reunite lost loves,

people who knew
each other in summer camp,

high school sweethearts,
that kind of thing?

No, no, no, no.

I really think she could be
the love of my life.

She was listening to this
Starlight Dreams song.

Starlight Dreams?

Not sure about that now.

Wait a second, how long did you
say you've known this woman?

I don't know,
like 15, 20 minutes.

And you think she's the one?

There were all these signs.

She likes my Dad's
favorite movie,

she's super feisty,
we like the same music,

we couldn't stop talking,
just everything.

Mm, see I just--

I don't buy that.

You think it's possible
to have such strong feelings

for someone after
just 15 minutes.

When you know, you know.

Please, if you could just
tell her I'm looking for her.

My name is Jake Hansen,
I'm a mechanic,

The Honest Mechanic,
I helped her.

♪

Uh, listen.

I know we've never met but
talking to you as a friend here.

Just move on,
these things happen.

You're gonna meet another Becky
on the side of the road

or in line at a supermarket

and you're gonna have
the same reaction.

What matters
is what happens after that.

All those conversations,

the getting to know each other,

the being there
when you need each other,

that--that is when you know.

So just get yourself home,

relax, forget about her

and be ready for the next
romantic opportunity.

This is unbelievable.

Where is the regular host?

Play the Starlight Dream song,

tell her it's me,

that's all I ask.

Listen, I think
you're chasing rainbows here

but I will do this.

Breakdown Becky,
if you're listening,

Jumpstart Jake,
here thinks you are the one.

So if you are listening call us.

888-555-0199 or message us
at Love Beats

or visit our other
social media pages

and, uh, oh, I'm very sorry

but we don't have any
Starlight Dreams.

Yes, you do, I know you do.

Oh, but here's a little song
for you both.

Good luck, Jake,
I hope you find her.

He--

[dial tone]

Normally, we just play
whatever's on

the Love Song list,
but that's okay!

[Sam]
You asked me to host, so.

Oh, look!

[Sam]
But I was terrible, I mean,

I'm probably gonna lose
my own show after this.

[Kathy]
But they don't care about you,

they care about him.

Can you imagine being
so taken with someone

that you just need
to call Love Beats?

You just know.

[Sam]
Mh, does he though?

[Kathy]
You don't believe in love
at first sight?

[Sam]
You mean true love
at first sight, no.

[Kathy]
Oh, but it happened.

I've heard so many stories.

[Sam]
Well, I can do better
than hearing about it.

I was the story and trust me,
it doesn't work.

-So you do believe?
-No.

Not anymore.

Anything lasting comes
from working at it,

you can't just rush
into something on a hunch,

you'll end up in a situation
where you're with someone

you don't really know,
someone who's very capable

of breaking your heart.

One bad experience doesn't mean

that that's how
it has to be every time.

[Sam]
Well, my heart isn't up
for testing that theory.

Anyway, I'm not saying that
it can't happen for this guy,

I'm just saying his chances
are one in a million.

I know those aren't great odds

but what if?

[dramatic music]

[Sam]
Yes.

What if?

What if I can get my ratings up.

while she's on maternity leave,
so fine, do it.

Get this Jumpstart Jake

[Sam]
Yes!

[Greta]
I want story
and I want downloads.

Oh, you will have
so many downloads

the board will need
to invest in a new server

and in Music Thread.

[Kathy]
We were thinking of taking
Love Beats on the road.

It would be brilliant,
okay, we'll set him up

as our topic of the day, then
we'll read some dedications,

take some live calls,
share some of the social media,

then back to topic of the day,

-play the Starlight Dream song--
-Whoa, whoa.

I am not playing
Starlight Dreams.

[Kathy]
Oh, but I love Starlight Dreams.

♪

[cars honking]

[Adam]
They were just brilliant.

We need to get them on the show.

[Sam]
Oh, definitely,
I love their sound.

-This was the perfect date.
-Yeah.

Um, wait, what do you mean date?

[Adam]
You know, like when two people
enjoy the same things,

go to the same place together.

[Sam]
I thought we were, you know,
warming up to that.

I'm sorry, I just like
to take things slow.

[Adam]
Uh-huh, but if you
weren't taking things slow

then this would be a date?

[Sam]
Well, I mean, yeah,
hypothetically

I would like to, at some point,
go on a date with you.

[Adam]
So maybe a bit of dessert?

[Sam]
I actually have
a big day tomorrow,

hosting Love Beats.

Love is like a unicorn,
rare, oh so rare.

Oh, you were listening.

[Adam]
I may have refreshed my browser
a few times

I promise you
it's gonna help Music Thread.

letter number 34?

Mm, my three year
dry spell continues.

I don't know what I do

to an interview.

[Adam]
Hey, you would be amazing.

[Sam]
Thank you.

So, good luck for tomorrow.

And goodnight, Sam Sanders.

[Sam]
Thank you, goodnight.

Oh, and remember, no listening.

I would not dream of it.

[chuckling]

[Kathy]
These are the songs
from Jake's playlist.

We have your country love songs,

pop love songs,
R & B love songs,

and your ballads.

Ugh, I just love getting lost
in a story.

You don't care
who's listening and watching,

you just close your eyes

and you feel love bubbling up

from your toes.

[Jake]
Oh, man, I love this song.

Hey, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to startle you.

[Kathy]
I thought we would have
a quick strategy meeting

with Jumpstart Jake
before going live.

[Sam]
Oh, sure, great idea.

-Sam Sanders.
-Hey.

[Sam]
Okay, listen,
if we're gonna be spending

the next week together
hunting down this mystery woman

we're gonna need
to put some thought

into your music choices.

[Jake]
You don't like this song?

[Sam]
I like it, just on the inside.

Aw, I love this song.

[Jake]
You host a music show
but you don't sing?

-Nope.
-But when you really feel

-a song--
-I listen harder.

[Jake]
Okay, but what about when
there's no one around?

Like you know
no one can hear you.

[Sam]
Give the neighbors a free show?

-I don't think so.
-You should try it.

You know, shower curtains are
more soundproof than you think

just incase you're worried
about being off key.

[Sam]
It's not about my voice,
I just like hearing songs

the way artists intended.

And some of those artists
intended

for us to sing along.

[Sam]
I'll keep that in mind
next time I'm alone

in a room with lot of curtains.

I think we're going live.

Maybe we'll just skip
the love songs, so.

Is this the part where we play
the Starlight Dream song?

[Sam]
Uh, and we're back
with Jumpstart Jake

who's searching
for Breakdown Becky.

Elizabeth in Woodstock
is on the line.

[Elizabeth]
Hi, Jake, do you remember
what she was wearing?

That could help.

[Jake]
I remember because we had to
whack the fuel pump

with something solid,
that she had these sparkly--

this sparkly shoes
and she had this tiny trumpet

swinging from
her rearview mirror.

[Sam]
Okay, Fiona
in Manchester, England

says, "Is she the one or isn't
she, get her on the show."

Yeah, we hope so, Fiona.

[Jake]
Oh, that reminds me on one
of the songs on my playlist--

Oh, oh, I think
we're taking a caller.

No, no?

It's actually time for a song
from Jake's Playlist.

Great, okay.

I picked this song
because I know Becky is a fan

and if you listen to the lyrics

it's something my Dad taught
me about following your heart

and doing what feels right
to you in that moment.

-It's Star--
-Starting From Scratch,

oh, excellent choice.

This one's for you,
Becky, if you're out there.

This is a way better song.

[guitar music]

♪

Just so you know,
I would never in a million years

give up my show
to anyone but you.

This show is my life.

And so in order to save my life

I will be spending the next week
playing power ballads.

[Adam]
Ah, wishful thinking?

[Sam]
You never know, one day.

[Adam]
The infamous Mercy Lewis File.

Oh, okay.

Oh, uh, those are just
some silly notes I keep.

I--I once performed
a Mercy Lewis cover

with a ukulele at
my middle school talent show.

It's been my fantasy
to bring it up

during an interview one day.

I mean, I would never do it, I
gotta keep it professional, but.

[Adam]
Of course.

[Sam]
Yeah, to meet someone
who's had such a big impact

on your life, just, ah.

[Greta]
Remember to give us
a sense of where you are.

First, we'll paint
our picture of Mr. Right

incase this Breakdown Becky
is afraid to come forward.

Then, you can send through
some packages,

do some live road shows,

uh, a few sassy debates to get
the younger generation fired up.

I think this could
be a great opportunity

for you to prove yourself
to the board.

And of course you get to
spend lots of time with him.

Don't tell me
that you didn't notice

that jaw and those eyes.

[Sam]
Greta, he likes
Starlight Dreams.

[Greta]
I'm just saying,
it wouldn't be the worst thing

if you didn't find her.

[Sam]
Oh, well, even if he does
it will be a disaster.

[Greta]
Just because you
didn't find the one

or it didn't work out for you
doesn't mean

it won't work out for someone
else.

You may not believe in the one--

It feels a bit fast, okay?

Real love is a slow burn.

When you know someone's soul,

when you each
take the time to know it.

You start gathering this
little collection of moments

and then one day suddenly
they add up to something.

Whether you're making
each other laugh

or making each other dinner,

you are a team playing life.

For me,
the one is really the two.

That--that's not what I meant.

What did you mean?

I am a music journalist,

I had to play songs

that aren't me, and--and go on
a wild goose chase

with some guy I barely know,
because he swears

he's met the love of his life.

to meet him,

I did what
any good journalist would do,

I gave her a nudge.

it started out that way, but,

when I got to know you better,

I really, really wanted you

to find her,

amazing.

you took on
so you could get your job back.

She isn't Philip.

She isn't Philip, Sam,
so just because you got burned

that doesn't mean
that no one else

-is allowed to be happy.
-No, no, I didn't say

you couldn't be happy--
I just wonder

if you're gonna
be happy with her.

What do you mean?

She's wonderful.

[Sam]
You keep saying,
"When you know, you know,"

trusting my gut,"

anything about her?
