Todd plays "Relax" on the piano.
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD - RELAX
A one-hit wonder retrospective
Todd: Welcome back to One Hit Wonderland, where we take a look at artists known for only one song. You know, sometimes I get asked, “Todd, why do you do this show?” And the answer is: To make the British angry at me.
Video for Lee Greenwood - “God Bless the U.S.A.”
Todd (VO): I am an American from America, and as far as I’m concerned, if it happened outside the borders of this great nation, it doesn’t exist.
Todd: But despite my provincial definition of one-hit wonder…
Video for "Song 2" by...
Todd (VO): …there are some British acts like Blur, who are so big over there that even I won’t cover them here.
Todd: And we are dancing right up to the line on this one.
Video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “Relax” starts
Holly Johnson: Mi-i-ine
Todd: [singing along] Give it to me one time, noooow!
Clip from Zoolander
Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller): I like this song.
Todd: Damn right you do, Derek.
Todd puts his finger up as if to say, “Wait for it…” before throwing this fist down when the beat drops
Clip of “Relax”
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
When you want to go do it
Relax, don’t do it
Todd (VO): The year is 1984…
Montage clips of concert performances from Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince; Cyndi Lauper - “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”; Bruce Springsteen - “Born in the U.S.A.”
…the biggest blockbuster moment in music history. Pop music never felt more overwhelmingly huge in that particular moment.
Video for “Relax”
Todd (VO): Now considering all of its competition, “Relax” is not the biggest song of that year.
Todd: But it may be the biggest sounding song of that year.
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
Todd (VO): In 1984, pop music was a boot stamping on a human face forever, and that boot belonged to a band of lads from Liverpool called, Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Clip of live Frankie Goes to Hollywood performance
Much like their fellow Liverpudlians, [image of…] A Flock of Seagulls, they may have had just one big song, but they evoked the ‘80s more than just about any band that you can think of. Just the name alone conveys a specific moment in time.
Todd: And that’s just in America.
Todd (VO): In their home country, they were big big. Maybe the biggest band in Britain.
Todd: Not [images of magazine front covers featuring…] Duran Duran, not [...and…] Wham!, [followed by side-by-side images of George Michael and Frankie Goes to Hollywood wearing similarly styled T-shirts] who were clearly jocking their style. Look at this: [image of article about…] “Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the biggest name in British Pop 1984.” And only 1984.
Holly: When you want to come
Todd (VO): Oh, they came. And they went. Frankie Goes to Hollywood is one of the truly great flameouts in music history.
Todd: Did they relax too hard? What happened there? Let’s find out.
Holly: Gotta hit me
Todd: Hit me!
Holly: Hit me
Todd: HIT ME!
Holly: Hit me with those laser beams
BEFORE THE HIT
Clip of interview with…
Interviewer: Hello, Holly.
Holly: Hello. [chuckles]
Interviewer: What have you been doing since…
Todd (VO): We may as well start with the lead singer, Holly Johnson. Yes, his name is Holly. Should’ve named the band "Holly Goes to Frankiewood".
Todd: But before Frankie, Holly had several bands of varying levels of success. One of whom was… you guessed it, Big in Japan. [title card reading "Big in Japan" appears, accompanied by a gong] They were actually not at all big in Japan. Their name was Big in Japan.
Clip of live performance of Big in Japan - “Suicide A Go Go”
Announcer: Another seller on Matthew Street, Big in Japan!
Jayne Casey: From the bar into the street
Todd (VO): Big in Japan was a post-punk band from the late ‘70s. Uh, [snickers] it’s nice to know that the concept of being weirdly huge in Japan is that old. [zoomed-in clip of…] Holly was their bass player for a period. You can see him in the back there looking comatose. I should say that Holly is not actually his birth name. His name was William, but at some point, he started going by Holly.
Todd: Which he got from the trans woman in Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side”.
Clip of “Walk on the Wild Side”
Lou Reed: Holly came from Miami, F-L-A
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, “Hey babe”
Todd (VO): As you can probably…
Todd: …already tell even if you have literally never heard of this band before…
Clip of Frankie Goes to Hollywood interview
Todd (VO): …Holly was gay. Like, very gay.
Clip of Culture Club performing “Miss Me Blind”
And as the ‘70s became the ‘80s, it turned out to be a pretty good time to be in British music if you were gay. [clip of Holly Johnson interview] When Holly struck out on his own, he decided he was gonna go all in on this.
Video for demo version of “Relax”
Todd (VO): This was gonna be their hook, this was what made them dangerous and threatening. He also got a second singer, Paul Rutherford, who was also gay. Perhaps even gayer.
Todd: I want you to appreciate how provocative that was in 1984, and how much easier it is now to say, “I’m gay.”
Video for Village People - “Y.M.C.A.”
Todd (VO): Even the most obvious, in-your-face gay acts you can think of would play coy about it. [clip of Elton John - “I’m Still Standing”] Or they’d try and say they were into girls too. [text appears: LIAR]
Clip of Statisch Video interview with Holly Johnson
But Holly was very straight with people about not being straight. Like, nope. Gay. Not hinting, not subtext. Just… gay. After going through several bands with several lineups, including one called “Hollycaust”, the permanent band was finally assembled. And Holly named it, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, [screenshot of newspaper article “Frankie Goes Hollywood: Bobby-sox brigades cause near-riot scene”] after this headline about Frank Sinatra.
Todd: And then they caught the attention of a past one-hit wonder.
Clip of The Buggles - “Video Killed the Radio Star”
The Buggles: Video killed the radio star
Todd (VO): In 1983, they got noticed by Trevor Horn of The Buggles, [clip of Trevor Horn studio interview] who was doing much better work as a producer by that point and signed them onto his label. There are queer acts who get signed and then are told to tone it down.
Todd: That was not what happened here.
THE BIG HIT
Video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “Relax” starts again
Holly: Mi-i-ine
Give it to me one time now
Todd raises his arms behind his back in preparation
Todd (VO): “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood may be the least relaxing song of all time. You got about ten seconds to get ready, and then it just hits you in the face…
Todd: …over and over and over again.
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
When you want to go do it
Relax, don’t do it
When you want to come
Todd: I’ve played you clips…
Clip of Statisch Video performance of “Relax (In Heaven Everything is Fine)”
Todd (VO): …of the original embryonic version of “Relax”.
Todd: It sounds nothing like this.
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
When you want to go do it
Todd (VO): They have the chorus, and then they fill out the middle with the heaven song from Eraserhead.
Holly: Heaven
Everything is fine
In the finished version that we all know, they’ve taken that part out, and they have replaced it with…
Todd: [pause] Well, with nothing.
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
Todd (VO): Probably because when you have a hook like that, you don’t really need to.
Todd: In fact, “Relax” is almost… not a song.
Todd (VO): It–It’s just a chorus. It’s a chorus over and over. It has no verses…
Holly: But shoot it in the right direction
It does have the part about the laser beams, which…
Todd: I’d honestly call more of a bridge.
Holly: Got to hit me (Hit me!) Hit me
Todd: Hit me! [pats his chest] Sorry.
Todd (VO): And the rest is just ad-libs and variations on “Relax, don’t do it.”
Holly: Relax, don’t do it (Once you're inside of me)
Relax, don’t write anything else. You don’t need to.
Holly: Ohhh
Todd (VO): And in the same way that “Relax” is kind of not a song, it also doesn't really sound like it was made by a band. [clip of “Believer” by…] The same way that Imagine Dragons doesn’t really sound like a band.
Clip of “Relax”
Holly: Ow ow ow ow ow ow uh!
I'm coming
It’s just so much production. It sounds like all producer, all Trevor Horn. And listeners did say this at the time, which really pissed the band off. Like, “No, that’s us. We made that.”
Clip of another interview with…
Todd (VO): And Trevor Horn, the producer, seemed pretty pissed off about it, too. Like, “No, I’m not, like, some controlling monster overwhelming the band. They made this.”
Trevor Horn: A lot of people have got misconceptions about what a record producer does. In a way, I am the artist’s, eh… puppet.
Todd: If you say so.
Todd (VO): I’m just saying, it’s hard to hear this song and pick out… instrumental parts or imagine people playing it together.
Trevor: You have a guy playing bass guitar, it’s–it’s not necessary that he plays the bass guitar. We can… we can basically—We can do anything with sound.
Todd: The song is so noisy and overbearing.
Todd (VO): It feels like one of the many [clips of The Police - “Synchronicity II”...] big big ‘80s pop songs that aren’t really about anything; [...and Duran Duran - “The Reflex”] they’re just there to hit you with as much force as possible.
Todd: But of course “Relax” is about something. [beat] Boy, is it about something.
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
Todd (VO): I cannot believe they fuckin’ got away with this because “Relax” is about sex. No song has ever been more about sex. [single cover for Marvin Gaye’s…] “Let’s Get It On” wasn’t this much about sex. Which is weird because the lyrics themselves are pretty vague. Most of it you could be plausibly in denial.
Todd: It’s–It’s just that one word.
Holly: Don’t do it
When you want to come
Todd (VO): The word “come” has never sounded so filth—
Todd: I feel dirty just saying it now!
Todd (VO): And they say that word a lot.
Holly: I'm coming
I'm coming, yeah
Todd: With emphasis.
Holly: Come
Todd (VO): I cannot believe this wasn’t bleeped. Like yeah, I guess it’s a common word. They could mean anything by that. They could mean…
Todd: …when you wanna come… to brunch with us. You know, have some [image of…] mimosas and relax!
Clip of Top of the Pops performance of “Relax”
Holly: Relax
Todd (VO): Like, Frankie did try and say that the song was about motivation.
Brian Nash: Well, I thought it was about gay sex as well, but Holly told me that it wasn’t.
It’s just a pump-up anthem to start your day...
Todd: No, it’s not. It’s really obvious which part of the body he’s telling you to relax.
Clip of Boy George interview
Boy George: It’s definitely about [laughing] gay sex! I mean, “Relax” is about buggery. [brief sped-up clip of Holly rolling his eyes and wagging his tongue] Relax and it won’t hurt. [chuckles]
Todd (VO): "Motivation". How is anyone stupid enough to buy that?
Todd: And the answer is, “Of course that they were not.” No one was dumb enough to buy that. Of course not!
Todd (VO): Even the most innocent grandma knew what this was. It didn’t fool a single person. There was a song about gay sex on the radio.
Clip of Dave Atkey BBC interview
In fact, in the UK, right as the song hit the Top 10, it got banned.
Dave Atkey: I found the lyrics objectionable… and I felt that the record could offend a majority of our listening audience.
Todd (VO): Banned from the airwaves.
Todd: Like, this was horrible, scary news for these guys that they did not want.
Clip of Frankie Goes to Hollywood BBC interview
Holly: For a band, it’s not a good thing. I think for our first single, it’s not a good thing to happen, because it’s kind of like a little black mark against us.
Todd: But I’m sure they felt better a week later because…
Todd (VO): …that was the last bump they needed to go all the way to #1 [screenshot of article…] and stay there for five weeks, which forced the BBC to back down. I bet the band was laughing about it afterwards, like…
Todd: “Christ, we were actually scared there for a second!”
Todd (VO): But despite the fact that it worked out in their favor, they all say that that wasn’t the reaction they were hoping for. Which is surprising to me, because…
Todd: …have you seen the video?
Clip of “Relax”, where the band members are hosed down with a white liquid that looks suspiciously like…
Holly: Come
Todd (VO): [British accent] My word!
Todd: [normal] You can’t show…
Todd (VO): …that on television!
Todd fake gasps
Todd (VO): Yeah, that one got banned and they had to replace it [clip of second video for “Relax”] with a video that’s just live footage.
Todd: In fact, there were, like, four different versions of this video that I could find.
Clip of…
Todd (VO): There’s the tame laser version, which… uh, I don’t know when that one came out. Probably before the song really started taking off. [clip of MTV video for “Relax”] And then there’s one which is just a full scene from the Brian De Palma movie, Body Double, where they basically recreate the entire video with the movie’s main character.
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
Now Holly is the emcee of the club, escorting some uptight gentleman into temptation. Look, there are women this time. It’s okay. No homo.
Todd: Speaking of no homo, just as an aside…
Clip of another Frankie Goes to Hollywood live performance
Todd (VO): …I found this live version on TV they did once with, of all people, Lemmy from Motorhead. Which is awesome of him, but it is funny how aggressively he’s checkin’ out the female dancers here. No Ho-Motorhead.
Holly: Ohhh
I like how uncomfortable the guy is. He looks like the [brief clip of…] white guy from the “Baby Got Back” video. Even straight boys gotta shout. I think the way they use Holly makes more sense than in the original video…
Todd (VO): …where Holly is the square-suited business guy visitor. Although to be fair, he’s not freaked out or anything. He knows exactly what he came here for and he has no trepidation about this whatsoever.
Todd: But my point was, even though this is exactly the kind of song MTV was made for, “Relax” was a serious problem for MTV.
Todd (VO): And that might be why “Relax” was not as big in America as you might think. It only reached #10. We were just too square in this country for Frankie.
Todd: But after their first hit, Frankie was not even remotely about to relax.
THE FAILED FOLLOW-UP
Video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “Two Tribes” starts
Todd (VO): So I was trying to decide whether I should cover Frankie Goes to Hollywood. You know, “Were they really a one-hit wonder? Were they too big?”
Todd: And the deciding factor for me was that, even if they’re not really one-hit wonders, at the very least I can introduce people to “Two Tribes”.
Holly: Ow ow ow
When two tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score
Todd (VO): This is Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s second single, “Two Tribes”. And it is the fucking jam.
Holly: Feel…
I love this song. And I like “Relax” just fine. Part of me does wish it was more of a song. “Two Tribes” is a lot more substantial; it has actual verses, plus a topic exactly as provocative.
Todd: It's about nuclear apocalypse and the pointlessness of war.
Frankie: Score no more, score no more
Todd (VO): Apparently, it’s inspired from the [clip of movie trailer for…] opening of Mad Max 2.
Narrator: Two mighty warrior tribes went to war.
Which in 1984 seemed like a very real possible future.
Clip of “Two Tribes”
Holly: When two tribes go to war
Todd (VO): Yeah, one thing you can say about the Cold War; just like the Vietnam War…
Todd: …we got some great music out of it.
Video for Genesis - “Land of Confusion”
Todd (VO): Just think, three years before Genesis released “Land of Confusion”, we already had a funny Reagan character in a music video about nuclear destruction. [clip of live performance of…] “Two Tribes” also hit #1 in the UK for nine weeks. In fact, [screenshot of Official UK Singles Chart showing…] for weeks, it was “Two Tribes” at #1 and “Relax” at #2.
Todd: Two songs in, and Frankie was enormous in the UK.
Stock footage of people wearing…
Todd (VO): They also had the goddamn shirts by this point. The greatest band T-shirts in history. You put on the Flock of Seagulls haircut and the “Frankie Say Relax” T-shirt and you become so ‘80s you can kill bystanders with it. It’s a fashion statement that says, [screenshot of article “Frankie shirts outsell singles”] “You are the biggest thing alive.”
Todd: And Frankie had yet another bombshell in their pocket.
Todd (VO): Having offended people on the grounds of both sex and politics, they announced they were going up to the third rail and going for… [single cover for Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “The Power of Love”] religion. Holy shit.
Todd: Uh, content warning: Don’t show this one to Grandma or she’s gonna have a heart attack.
Video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “The Power of Love” starts
Holly: Ay, ay, ay, ay
Feels like fire
I’m so in love with you
Purge the soul
Todd: Uh… This song is called, [single cover for…] “The Power of Love”
Brief clips of Huey Lewis and the News - “The Power of Love” and Jennifer Rush - “The Power of Love”
Todd (VO): Probably the third most popular “Power of Love” of the ‘80s.
Holly: The power of love A force from above
Uh, this is shockingly… not shocking. It’s a pretty straightforward romantic ballad. Um, it’s–it’s not my personal favorite, but…
Todd: …uh, I do like it. And I think this must have been ironic with how unironic it was.
Clip of "The Power of Love" live performance
Todd (VO): Like, we’ve trolled everyone else. Now, it’s time to troll your own fans with something this sincere. And the fans bought it too. This one also went to #1. In fact, because of the video showing the birth of Jesus, the song has become a Christmas classic in the UK. This always confused Holly, who said the religious angle wasn’t even his idea; it was the label’s. The song’s not about this. [sighs] But whatever. I’m sure the band didn’t mind their Christmas royalties.
Clip of Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “Welcome to the Pleasuredome”
Holly: We're a long way from home
Welcome to the Pleasuredome
And they had one more big single, “Welcome to the Pleasuredome”.
Todd (VO): [sarcastically] Which was such a flop after the first three. It only went to #2. Yeah, huge disappointment for Frankie. But despite all the success they had in the UK, I am pretty committed to calling them a one-hit wonder.
Todd: So why couldn’t Frankie Goes to Hollywood… go Hollywood?
Todd (VO): Why did they not hit it big again in America? ‘Cause they certainly tried. [clip of the band…] Here they are driving down Sunset Boulevard in a goddamn tank. Yeah, Frankie went to Hollywood alright with some heavy artillery.
Todd: And it just didn’t happen for them.
Todd (VO): These other two songs, which went to #1 in the UK stalled outside the Top 40 on Billboard.
Todd: It’s hard to say what happened there…
Todd (VO): …but I think America just wasn’t ready. Remember, “Relax” was not actually that big a hit. [clip of live performance of Soft Cell - “Tainted Love”] And we think of the ‘80s as a very gay time for music, but most of that was coming from the UK. Not Reagan America.
Todd: Paul himself said, [screenshot of quote from article “Frankie Satisfies Stateside Curiosity”] “Yes, we’d love to hit it big in America, but I don’t know if we will. We’re too British.” Uh, I don’t think British is the part of your identity that’s the problem.
Clip of Frankie Goes to Hollywood performance on SNL
Todd (VO): Also, this being the ‘80s, their best hope of promoting themselves was television, so uh, them being too racy for television was a serious concern. They did “Two Tribes” on SNL, and they didn’t really light up the stage. Although they did a pretty daring cover, I’d say, of…
Todd: …one of the foundational texts of heterosexuality.
Holly: Tramps like us Baby, we were born to run
Todd (VO): Us straight guys are often asked, “When did you know you were straight?”
Todd: And the answer for most of us guys was hearing “Born to Run”...
Todd (VO): ...so I do consider this a pretty provocative choice of song to cover.
Todd: But I’ve heard that on the whole, they didn’t really impress anyone on that American tour.
Clip of 1985 Mick Jagger interview about the band
Interviewer: What about Frankie Goes to Hollywood?
Mick Jagger: I mean, it’s garbage.
Interviewer: Yeah?
Mick: Total garbage. Onstage, the worst act I’ve seen.
Interviewer: Oh, you went to see them?
Mick: Yeah, I went to see them at the Ritz. They were just terrible.
Todd (VO): Also I found a stray mention of them doing a live show for MTV and [screenshot of highlighted quote about…] kicking a cameraman. Uh, I don’t know what that was about. But I think that kinda points to the big problem with Frankie. One that would end them on both continents.
Todd: They hated everyone and each other.
DID THEY EVER DO ANYTHING ELSE?
Clip of Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “Rage Hard”
Holly: Like the head of Apollo
Todd (VO): So Frankie made one more album that mostly did weak numbers in the UK.
Frankie: Rage hard
[singing] Rage ha-aard.
Video for Frankie Goes to Hollywood - “Warriors of the Wasteland”
Todd (VO): It’s hard to say what did it. I don’t think the songs are bad. I find them quite amusing, in fact.
Holly: Warriors of the wasteland
But they are dated in a way that their actual hits were not. Maybe they just got overexposed. Maybe it was that Trevor Horn didn’t return to produce. Maybe it was their ongoing feud with Horn over stupid business reasons. Maybe, as Holly thought, they were leaning too hard on rock instead of the dance music they started out with.
Todd: But the really important thing here is that as early as 1985, the band hated each other.
Clip of interview with Paul Rutherford
Interviewer: What’ve you been up to?
Paul: Um… We’re–We’re very busy splitting up at the moment. [chuckles]
Todd (VO): Or at the very least, Holly [clip of another interview with…] hated the band. Him and Paul literally got in a fist fight backstage at Wembley Stadium and that was that.
Video for Holly Johnson - “Love Train”
Holly had always wanted a solo career anyway, so that’s what he did. And his first album is pretty good and did pretty well.
Video for Paul Rutherford - “I Want Your Love”
Todd (VO): Paul tried for his own solo career, but it didn’t really go anywhere and he moved to New Zealand. [clip of ‘90s Holly Johnson interview] But after Holly’s hits in 1989, he too would disappear for years. In 1993, he eventually resurfaced to deliver the sad news.
Clip of MTV News UK report about…
"Downtown" Julie Brown: But first, former Frankie Goes to Hollywood frontman Holly Johnson has revealed that he is HIV positive.
Literally the same week that Freddie Mercury died is when he found out.
Julie: Johnson has already been treated for a form of skin cancer, Kaposi sarcoma lesions; a sign that full-blown AIDS has started.
Todd (VO): It laid him low with depression for many years, but he eventually decided to go public and show the world that people with HIV could still live happy, active lives without being a danger to anyone, which I think is a…
Todd: …very brave thing for a man who knew that his time on Earth was short. [beat] So Holly Johnson is fine.
Clip of an older Holly Johnson performing “Relax” live
Holly: Relax, don't do it
Todd (VO): Yeah, he made it. He is alive and healthy now, and he’s been an active presence in UK pop culture for a little bit. [clip of Holly in an art museum] He’s mostly devoted himself to painting and he was very clear that he didn’t want to go on with Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
Clip from Bands Reunited on…
I remember VH1 tried to reunite them in the early 2000s, and…they got them in the same room, but couldn’t really get them to do a real reunion. And that’s where their story ended… Todd: …until May of last year.
Clip of opening for “Welcome to the Pleasuredome” live performance at…
Todd (VO): With Eurovision happening in their hometown, Frankie Goes to Hollywood at last announced that they would be doing a full reunion show.
Frankie: We’re a long way from home
Holly: Welcome to the Pleasuredome
They played their fourth biggest hit and then promptly [screenshot of article title “Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Eurovision reunion leaves fans elated - and confused”...] walked off the stage [...followed by a YouTube comment about the reunion]. Beautiful.
Todd: The Frankie Goes to Hollywood ending that this band deserved.
DID THEY DESERVE BETTER?
Todd: Well, they deserved at least one song better.
Clip of “Relax”
Holly: Relax, don’t do it
When you want to go do it
Todd (VO): In fact, I feel pretty strongly that the Frankie phenomenon would’ve made this country a little brighter, even if it wasn’t really that much longer lived over there either. For the record, when I cover bands like this, it makes it seem like Europe gets all the fun stuff. Uh, they listened to a lot of crap over there, too. Don’t get me wrong. But Frankie Goes to Hollywood is a band that summed up the over-the-top, boundary-pushing ridiculousness of the ‘80s, and they deserve their place in pop culture history.
Todd: Great song. Great other songs, too. Check them out, go do it… when you wanna listen to it. [chuckles slightly] Bye.
Gets up and leaves
Holly: Come
Todd: One last thing: That was all good music, and you know who else made good music that I’ve been meaning to check out myself? The Beatles.
Todd (VO): And Lindsay Ellis is back, and she made a great video about the Beatles, and how Yoko didn't break them up, and why everyone hates Yoko anyway. I’m actually in that one. I voice Mark David Chapman. I gained 67 pounds for the role just like Jared Leto did. It’s a really fascinating video where every single person who broke up the Beatles will be named and shamed. And if you wanna know why Yoko is in it, you can watch the first ten minutes on YouTube, and then you can see the full, complete version on Nebula, a creator-specific platform where you can watch other great videos from creators such as Hbomberguy, Adam Neely, Big Joel, F.D. Signifier, VCon Rewind, and myself. It is the most exciting independent streaming platform around right now. It has tons of original content that you cannot find anywhere else. In fact, Nebula has been a godsend for so many people I know trying to make it in this cutthroat world of online video. Nebula allows us to make the kind of stuff we wanna make, instead of YouTube where the algorithm will wreck and demonetize tons of videos. Including probably this one you’re watching right now. And if you sign up with my link, not only will you get access to the entire Nebula library…
Todd: …but you will get it for a little over $2.50 a month. And you’d also be directly supporting me, which… you know, I’d appreciate it.
Todd (VO): So click the link in the description and check it out below.
Todd: Thank you for listening and good night.
