All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD. 

    This is a Comedy Talkshow and a Podcast   

    In this season of The Alien Spaceship Podcast we discuss:

    Summary Of This Episode
    Emmy and Trevor discussed their weekly podcast "The Alien Spaceship" and planned to talk about the song "He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother." Trevor explained that he viewed the song as a moral and ethical message, reminding people that everyone is connected as brothers and sisters on the planet.

    He Ain't Heavy" Song History
    Emmy discussed the history and background of the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," explaining that it was written by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell and originally recorded by Kelly Gordon in 1969, later becoming a hit for the Hollies and Neil Diamond. Emmy noted that the song's emotional impact resonated with listeners, and she shared additional details about the songwriters' collaboration, including the fact that Bob Russell was unwell when they began writing it.

    Origin of "He Ain't Heavy
    Emmy discussed the origin of the phrase "he ain't heavy, he's my brother," which appears in both Jesus's parables and Boys Town stories. She explained how the phrase emerged from a real story at Boys Town in 1918 involving a boy named Howard Loomis with polio, who was carried by older brothers, leading to Reuben Granger's famous response to Father Flanagan. Emmy also mentioned that Father Flanagan later saw the same phrase in Ideal magazine in 1943, connecting it to humanitarian activities at Boys Town.

    Brotherhood and Mutual Support Phrase
    Emmy and Trevor discussed the meaning and longevity of the phrase "He ain't heavy, he's my brother," which has remained significant for 142 years since 1884. Trevor explained that the song title might not be immediately obvious but makes sense when understood in context, emphasizing the mutual nature of supporting and being supported by others. He noted that people often need support at different times and that no one is entirely powerful or weak, highlighting the importance of being mindful of others' situations.

    Bee Gees Song Interpretation
    Trevor discussed the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and its interpretation about siblings, using the Bee Gees as an example of a famous musical family with complex relationships. He explained how the death of each brother affected Barry Gibb, particularly noting that Barry had to live with the fact that they were not on good terms during certain phases of their lives. Trevor concluded that the song's message about supporting those in need applies to both siblings and people in general.

    Friendship and Support Challenges
    Emmy shared a personal anecdote about helping a friend with car troubles, discussing how being there for someone extends beyond physical support to emotional and financial assistance. Emmy described how she offered to pick up her friend who needed to take his car to the garage, and later offered to help retrieve the car when it was ready, though she felt her friend was "putting it on me" by relying on her assistance.

    Challenges of Asking for Help
    Emmy and Trevor discussed the challenges of asking for help from others, with Emmy sharing an example of someone being reluctant to ask for assistance due to concerns about being a burden. Trevor acknowledged that asking for help can be difficult because it involves pride and self-sufficiency, but noted that people generally respond positively when asked for help. They agreed that while it's important to be able to say no when busy, people typically help others when needed.

    Song Lyrics Discussion Analysis
    Emmy and Trevor discussed the lyrics of the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," focusing on themes of self-sacrifice and helping others. Trevor noted that while the song promotes the idea of supporting family members, there's a balance to be struck between helping others and taking care of one's own welfare. They both agreed that the song's lyrics are well-written and reflect a genuine emotional experience, likely based on the writers' personal situations.

    Service Dogs and Human Impact
    Trevor shared a personal story about a woman who received a service dog named Rowley after suffering brain damage in a childhood accident, explaining how the dog helped her by stopping at road junctions, detecting when she was about to faint, and providing assistance over a ten-year period before retiring. The discussion then connected this story to the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," exploring how the songwriters' own experiences with mortality may have influenced the lyrics. Emmy concluded by sharing information about Father Edward Flanagan's Boys Town mayor system and its eventual inclusion of girls through Rosette Max Tech,

  • S134E7: It Also Extends To Being Able To Be There For Them - Emmy Hikins On Being There For Others
    This is the Season 134 of The Alien Spaceship with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins) and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD. 

    This is a Comedy Talkshow and a Podcast   

    In this season of The Alien Spaceship Podcast we discuss:

    Summary Of This Episode
    Emmy and Trevor discussed their weekly podcast "The Alien Spaceship" and planned to talk about the song "He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother." Trevor explained that he viewed the song as a moral and ethical message, reminding people that everyone is connected as brothers and sisters on the planet.

    He Ain't Heavy" Song History
    Emmy discussed the history and background of the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," explaining that it was written by Bobby Scott and Bob Russell and originally recorded by Kelly Gordon in 1969, later becoming a hit for the Hollies and Neil Diamond. Emmy noted that the song's emotional impact resonated with listeners, and she shared additional details about the songwriters' collaboration, including the fact that Bob Russell was unwell when they began writing it.

    Origin of "He Ain't Heavy
    Emmy discussed the origin of the phrase "he ain't heavy, he's my brother," which appears in both Jesus's parables and Boys Town stories. She explained how the phrase emerged from a real story at Boys Town in 1918 involving a boy named Howard Loomis with polio, who was carried by older brothers, leading to Reuben Granger's famous response to Father Flanagan. Emmy also mentioned that Father Flanagan later saw the same phrase in Ideal magazine in 1943, connecting it to humanitarian activities at Boys Town.

    Brotherhood and Mutual Support Phrase
    Emmy and Trevor discussed the meaning and longevity of the phrase "He ain't heavy, he's my brother," which has remained significant for 142 years since 1884. Trevor explained that the song title might not be immediately obvious but makes sense when understood in context, emphasizing the mutual nature of supporting and being supported by others. He noted that people often need support at different times and that no one is entirely powerful or weak, highlighting the importance of being mindful of others' situations.

    Bee Gees Song Interpretation
    Trevor discussed the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and its interpretation about siblings, using the Bee Gees as an example of a famous musical family with complex relationships. He explained how the death of each brother affected Barry Gibb, particularly noting that Barry had to live with the fact that they were not on good terms during certain phases of their lives. Trevor concluded that the song's message about supporting those in need applies to both siblings and people in general.

    Friendship and Support Challenges
    Emmy shared a personal anecdote about helping a friend with car troubles, discussing how being there for someone extends beyond physical support to emotional and financial assistance. Emmy described how she offered to pick up her friend who needed to take his car to the garage, and later offered to help retrieve the car when it was ready, though she felt her friend was "putting it on me" by relying on her assistance.

    Challenges of Asking for Help
    Emmy and Trevor discussed the challenges of asking for help from others, with Emmy sharing an example of someone being reluctant to ask for assistance due to concerns about being a burden. Trevor acknowledged that asking for help can be difficult because it involves pride and self-sufficiency, but noted that people generally respond positively when asked for help. They agreed that while it's important to be able to say no when busy, people typically help others when needed.

    Song Lyrics Discussion Analysis
    Emmy and Trevor discussed the lyrics of the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," focusing on themes of self-sacrifice and helping others. Trevor noted that while the song promotes the idea of supporting family members, there's a balance to be struck between helping others and taking care of one's own welfare. They both agreed that the song's lyrics are well-written and reflect a genuine emotional experience, likely based on the writers' personal situations.

    Service Dogs and Human Impact
    Trevor shared a personal story about a woman who received a service dog named Rowley after suffering brain damage in a childhood accident, explaining how the dog helped her by stopping at road junctions, detecting when she was about to faint, and providing assistance over a ten-year period before retiring. The discussion then connected this story to the song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother," exploring how the songwriters' own experiences with mortality may have influenced the lyrics. Emmy concluded by sharing information about Father Edward Flanagan's Boys Town mayor system and its eventual inclusion of girls through Rosette Max Tech,
