but one. DJ Reckless is at the news desk. What's up? Hey?
Two weeks in a row, two weeks Strong, Matt, Oh,
that's true, you were here last week Strong. We've got a great musical
guest coming up in a few minutes, about four or fifteen, he's calling
in Justin Clancy, excited for that one man, looking forward to that that
track that we played to open the show, that's called Noose. That's one
of his more recent singles. But a little backstory, so you you know
him, and of course he's going to be playing tomorrow night here in Manchester.
We'll talk about that in a minute. But when you when you mentioned
Justin Clancy, I looked him up online. I said, wait a minute,
I think I interviewed him a long time ago on another show that I
do, like, like more than a decade ago, when he was just
a young a young lad, a wee urchin and you checked with him and
he said, yeah, when he was like fourteen years old. I interviewed
him. Yeah, I'll let him get into that with you. But yeah,
it was actually pretty interesting for me because it just shows how long you've
been doing this. I've been a while people, you know, Yeah,
I've been I've been at it a while. It's like, what the fifth
person that I've ran into that you know? And I'm like, how,
yes, yes, well you know, I just celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
Matt Connorton Unleashed. Can you believe it? Five decades of doing this show
now you're not even all here at WM and h wait, No, that
can't be right. You know what I have nine is the boat. Here's
the here's the problem. I have a neurological condition that doesn't allow me to
understand time. I don't know how time works. How long is this show?
It's like ten minutes, right, something like that? Is something like
that. I don't understand time. But anyway, Yeah, I interviewed him
a long time ago, and he has come a long way. The original
interview is still online. You can if you google a local outbreak Clancy,
you will find it and I might go back and listen to it later,
just for the hell of it. I'm really looking. So back then he
was just Clancy. He was just using his name Clancy. But now he
is justin Clancy, and uh, this might very well be him on the
line. Let's see. Hi, welcome to Matt Connorton Unleashed. Is this
Justin Clancy? No, it's actually Mike Cutter. It's from the Gulf Coast
of Florida. Oh my goodness. I saw the number and it looked like
somebody else, Hey, what's going on, Mike? Nothing. I saw
you had DJ Hazard there and I was watching you all online. I just
wanted to check in and let you know I'm doing well down here in Florida.
I'd made the big move and wow, congratulation and what's going on?
So yeah, y'all doing is it? Is it cold up there? No?
Not yet. Don't you throw that in my face. No, it's
been it's been pretty nicely. We get into the high sixties down here,
and like we start wearing down jackets and stuff. Wow, So you are
you are a permanent Florida resident? Now? Eh? Yeah? I mean
I fly back and forth. I don't consider myself a snowbird. But I'm
playing music down here full time and everything's going well. The opportunity to play
music down here abound on every corner. So oh wow, I've been very
lucky. Well, congratulate, encourage you, shameless plug here, check out
www dot Mike shutters dot com and you can keep up with me down here
on the Gulf Coast if you all come down here in the cold. Well,
very good, very good. Well, that's wonderful. I'm glad it's
going well, and I had seen some things on Facebook. It looked like
you had you had made the move, but I wasn't sure. So now
we know it is official. Well, congratulations, Yeah, thank you very
much, Matt. I miss you guys, and I still have household goods
up north that I have to get. But the Angel of whatever they call
it called me down here and I'm doing really well. I'm really happy and
good all as well, and I just want to keep up with my friends
in Manchester and ye point five yeah, absolutely, ninety five point three FM.
Yes, well that's for me, that's okay, that's all right.
Jeez, I have a I have a neurological condition too, Matt. You
know, yes, yes, I think we all have have several of them.
But that's all right. Well, well wonderful. We won't we won't
keep you mind because we have a musical guest who's about to call in.
But we do appreciate hearing from you, and I hope that you'll pay us
a visit when you're when you're back up here. You mentioned you've still got
stuff up here, so you know, I hope you'll back towards Christmas or
November or something, and I'll be sure to give you a call well beforehand.
I appreciate your dad stand in touch with me and DJ Hazard. Hello
to you and y'all keep on keeping on all right, Mike, thanks for
the call. We'll talk to you soon. I'm sure all right? Bye
bye? What DJ Hazard? Is that like an inside joke between you guys?
I have no idea, but I wasn't going to say anything because maybe
that's going to be my new name. Oh you were talking before about the
rebrand. You were talking about a rebrand. Maybe it's fate. Maybe you
should be DJ Hazard, or maybe you could keep a semblance of the old
name. You could be DJ Reckless Hazard, no Man, DJ hazardous and
reckless no man to wordy. You could use an amper sand you wouldn't have
to use the full A n D, wouldn't have to write it out.
Um uh. But you could just drop the DJ and be hazardously Reckless no
man. Okay, these are all terrible ideas, as I understand. I
apologize. Well. We will be hearing from Justin Clancy shortly though. Now
how do you know him? How do you know so? I don't know
him personally. I saw that he was playing at Jewel and I was like
I made my debut. Well, I don't even call it a debut.
I DJ at a private party there at Jewel a few weeks ago, and
I was like, I got to track down the promoter for the show,
Richie, and then I was like, you know what, I couldn't find
him. I started reaching out to openers and I was like, hey,
man, I want to DJ the show. I want to get on support.
If you guys need to DJ, let me know. They sent me
to the sent me to back to the promoter and then told me to reach
out to Justin and I actually heard back from the promoter. I think it
was Tuesday, and then he's like, yeah, we would love to have
you, blah blah blah. I'm like, awesome, let's do it.
So I basically got put on this show like four days ago. Oh very
good. Yeah, I'm looking at tomorrow night Justin Clancy with Aaron Brown,
Cody Pope, who was on the SHO Show recently, of course with Byron
g. He's been on a couple times. He was on the show.
You didn't know that. No, Cody Pope's been on the show a couple
of times. Yeah, just recently. He was on the oh yeah.
Yeah, when he and Byron g come in, they perform live, they
set up and they do a whole set. Oh, it's fantastic. Yeah,
that's awesome. Cody Pope, he's another one. I also when I
first met him. I interviewed him a long time ago, and it would
have been probably around the same time that I first interviewed Justin Clancy. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know many of these people personally. I've
ran into them probably at like open mics and stuff like that. Yes,
like this is all new to me because I'm finally diving into the New Hampshire,
like New England scene finally. Yeah, because obviously I did the Tourist
and I did that with the hip hop artists and openers and everything like that.
But I want to start getting into the New England scene because there's an
untapped potential. Yeah that would the right people can make it go very far.
There's also just for Kicks and mcg on the show tomorrow night. Yeah,
just for Kicks. That's pretty cool. He's the guy that actually put
me on. Joe. Yeah, he's been on the show too, right,
I think possibly. I think he's been on the show I'm losing track
now, you know, I've been doing this for a century. Yeah and
uh yeah, just yeah, just for kicks. Yeah, it's just one
guy, right, but he calls himself just for kicks, right guy?
Yes, okay, yeah, he's been on the show. I think you
know, I think it's massive for me too, because like it's going to
be a pretty pretty well sold show. Yeah, and being able to finally
make my debut there. That's the only venue in Manchester that I have not
played at really yep, other than Angel City, but I don't really care
to play there. Oh it's a great room, very nice, great room
room. We won't get into those politics. Was there for? Oh you
know what's cool about it? For they got a whole bunch of kiss stuff
above the above the bar, or at least they did, I know they
did they do any They were close for a while, did they. I
haven't been you haven't been in there? Yeah they got they got a whole
bunch of kiss stuff. And I will I've only been in there for fifteen
minutes and that was one day to go pick up my friend. Oh okay,
yeah, last time I was there, I got to Edgewise was playing
and who else was with him? A couple other bands too. I can't
remember. Now I've been doing this for two hundred years. It's hard to
keep track. But oh, here we go. I see his name on
the caller ID. Justin Clancy has joined us right on time. Hello,
welcome Justin. Hey, how's it going? Good? Good? It's nice
to speak with you again. We were just talking about this. It's been
a hell of a long time. But I interviewed you years and years and
years ago when you were just starting out. At the time, you were
just Clancy. But and then, you know, we were at home and
really, yeah, we were at home and Reckless said, oh yeah,
he remembers you. That was you were like fourteen. I think. Was
this in New Hampshire? Yes, I think so. Wow, yeah,
a long time ago, time ago. See listen. This all just got
laid on me at like two pm and I was like, you know him,
okay, interesting, Yeah, so we go way back. You didn't
even know it, but uh, hey, man, I I gotta tell
you. I love what you're doing now. So I was checking out a
bunch of your songs and I don't know if you're able to listen, but
we actually we opened the show today with news. That's a great track,
and I love the video too. There's a lot of red, and red
is my favorite color, so that's nice. That's really good stuff, and
I love what you're doing. It's kind of a mix of like alternative pop
and hip hop, and I mean, how do you how do you describe
your music because as you really kind of mashed some different genres together there and
it sounds great. Yeah, man, thank you. I'd like to think
it's like an amalgamation of all the things that I enjoy. I'd hate to
like pigeon. It's it's a double edged story because people ask me, like
what kind of music I make? And I can't necessarily put it in the
book because it's so subjective. But at the same time, I want listeners
to kind of have their own experience with it, you know, right right?
Yeah, totally? Have you always uh? Because I can't remember now
it was so long ago, But were you always trying to do something sort
of out of the box in terms of what people are used to hearing?
Oh no, dude, I sucks so bad when you have me. He
was like fourteen year old. I didn't know what I was doing that's still
on the Yeah, dude, I was rapping. I was rapping, yep,
yep, I remember. I just like just strictly white wrapper type like
it was not good, which is like crazy that you have me on there.
Thanks. Yeah, he was like bags. And now I look back
at it. I'm gonna have to you know, that is still online.
I'm gonna have to go back and listen to it later. If you google
a local outbreak that was the name of the show and Clancy, it comes
right up. I'm gonna have to go back and take a listen. But
and you I actually listened to it. I want to say maybe two years
ago. Oh no kidding. Justin's like, can you now before I made
before I wrote one of my albums, the Ugly Parts that I put out
like a year and a half ago. Now, I was going through like
a bunch of my old stuff, you know, because I was in the
midst of like rebranding and like recreating who I am, you know, and
in order to do that, I need to start from the beginning, you
know what I mean, and rebuild the foundation. So part of that process
before I went to the studio was like I just kind of you know,
listened to all of the stuff that I made when I was a kid,
and like went through like all my old notebooks from when I was like ten,
eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, yea, And part of that
was stumbling upon the local the local outbreak interview. Wow crazy, So you
went back, you went back and listened to it. Huh was it?
Yeah? Yeah? What was that? Like? I mean, was it
cringe? Was it fun listening to it? Was it? Uh? Uh?
I mean how did you feel listening back to that? I felt like,
I uh, let's just say, I definitely wasn't media trained. Yo.
I go back and listen to things when I was like things from this
show when I was like eighteen, dude, and I'm like, yo,
this makes me never want to step into a radio station again. And that
wasn't that long ago, five years ago, you have eye. Definitely it
was super crazy, but you know what it was, It was important that
I had that experience because it gave me like that extra push that I needed.
Even if there were three people listening. That was still the coolest thing
I could have done at that age, you know what I mean, Like
it was it was really cool, And I remember my dad lied to me.
Rest his soul. He lied to me, and he was like,
yeah, he got ten thousand downloads on that interview. Great. Meanwhile it's
like twelve. That's that's awesome. Yeah, i'd be surprised. So I'm
trying to remember, was your dad there? Did he bring you? Yeah?
He was? And and who else? Somebody else was there too?
Was a general money? Was he there? Nah? Nah, he wasn't
there. I think it was just my dad either that or maybe my ex
girlfriend or something like that. Okay, I know my dad brought me.
Okay, Okay, yeah, I thought for some reason, I thought there
was somebody else there, but who knows. It was so long ago.
Yeah, wow, that's cool. So yeah, I'm gonna have to go
back and listen to that later. But yeah, so it's so good.
But yeah, so I was listening to a bunch of your newer stuff.
I really like it and I love the videos too, especially, And I'm
gonna play this one a little bit in a little bit after we're done talking.
I'll I'll bookend the segment with another track, but probably play another one
too later in the show. But Run from the Devil. I particularly love
that song, and I love the video. The video is so cool.
You know this on this thing's on fire in the video, so you really
can't go wrong there. But no, but it's it's really cool. And
how involved are you? Like do you direct the videos? And and do
you do so every everything that you see when it comes to music videos,
when it comes to photo shoot stuff like that all comes from my weird,
wacky mind. Wow, which is great because you don't see that often anymore.
You're seeing it more now than you wear like five six years ago.
But yeah, you're seeing more of an independent side of things and guys exercising
their their creative Oh yeah, yeah for sure. I mean I say it
all the time. If I wasn't making music, I'd be making movies.
That's like a big, big passion of mine is doing the videos. I
have a lot a lot of fun coming up with concepts, ideas and then
kind of seeing them come to fruition. Like I did not think that I'd
be able to shut down a street in my city that I grew up in
and find a horse and ride the horse down it. I did not do
that, but I did. Yeah, what what city was that shot in?
It looks like Nashua. But that was my guess. But oh it's
Pbty Okay, Yeah, so I'm not I'm not from Manchester, New Hampshire.
I'm I'm from right outside of Boston in a city called Gotcha. Yeah
yeah, Peabody. Yeah, I've been there. Yeah, it's it's a
fantastic video. Is that. Do you have a long term goal to direct
films? Do you want to direct feature films eventually because you have such a
passion for for that, Oh, I would love to at least a short
film. Yeah. Yeah, No, you're really uh, you're really good
at what you do with that man that. Have you directed any or shot
any videos for anybody else or just just your own music? No, just
my own stuff. I work with a team. I work with like the
same couple other direc and you know we kind of hive mind it. Yeah
yeah, no, really good stuff, really good. That's that's uh,
that's definitely my favorite out of these. Now, what do you have?
What have you released for music? You've got a few albums right or a
few EPs out? Oh yeah, I think I have something like thirty songs
out. Oh wow, okay that's quite a bit. Yeah. And when
you play live. How long is your set like tomorrow night, how long
is your set going to be? Oh? Hour take, probably a little
over do some of the Uh I can probably guess the answer to this question.
But uh, the material that you did early on, like around the
time that I interviewed you, did any of that survive or or transform in
some way and survive or did have you? He was like, Oh,
that's I never want to hear it again. It couldn't have been. I
gotta go back and listen to that. Now. Oh boy, it's gonna
get off the phone and text you and tell you to delete that into well,
which I would. I would out of respect, I would do that
at fast. But uh no, I think it's cool though, to be
able for you to be able to see you know where you came from and
where you've gone. And uh, like I said, what you're doing now
is is really good? Now. Now, who else is on the show
with you tomorrow night? It is Cody Pope, Aaron Brown and just for
kicks with like a mindus collective Genius MCG collective out there. Okay, it's
like I tried to get all New Hampshire folks on there. Yeah, this
is my first time doing a headline date in New Hampshire, with the exception
of like maybe one or two shows I did like eight years ago that were
like awful, but we don't really talk about those. Yeah, you've done
opening support in New Hampshire though, right for like oh yeah, yeah for
Webby right yeah, yeah, bro, I love Wally's. I think that
was a few days after I played there because I did Monday. I did
a Monday residency there all summer, and I was like, I gotta get
down here for that show because I was texting the promoter and I was like,
dude, please let me get on this show as a DJ. Please
let me get on this show, because like it's here. Oh dude.
The nights I've had there, the nights I've had there because I wanted I
wanted that show, or I wanted Sammy Adams because me and Sammy have gone
back a little bit. Yeah. So I was like, I gotta gotta
figure out a way now justin have you been out on tour around the country
or how much how much of this have you done? Oh yeah? Oh
man, let's see. By the end of the by December, I'd have
done almost seventy shows this year. That's insane, dude. Wow, excellent.
Yeah, you're keeping that's good, hired. I can only imagine what
you're going through. I went on I went on like a thirty two day
run, and I was like, I am over it. Nope, never
again. Yeah. And then yeah, dude, it was like so last
year, last fall. Last fall, I did the Midwest and that was
like fourteen shows or something like that. Then I did two shows back to
back in Boston. I did like smaller shows back to back. I wanted
like an internet vibe, sold those out. Wow. Then I did Canada.
I did twenty one shows in twenty eight days. Wow. Then I
came back. Then I did a show in Burlington, Vermont, a show
in at Wally's, then Portland, Maine, and then Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Then I'm gonna do this one tomorrow, and I have eleven shows coming up
in the Midwest. I leave Tuesday for the Midwest. Then I'm doing Connecticut,
doing Toad's Place on Black Friday. That's huge. Wow. I haven't
announced it yet, but I'm going to do a Boston show in December.
Cool. Wow. Yeah, you have been busy. You've been busy.
That's Uh, yeah, what is your live show? Like, I mean,
do you do you have a band with you or do you play the
tracks or how does that work? Yeah? Yeah, I got a band.
I have Dave's guitar, drums. I have the greatest band in the
whole entire world. I love them very much. Nice Johnny Francis, Kumi,
Jake French. And then I do vocals and I also played piano.
Okay, was that was piano? Is that? Uh? Is that your
first? Well? I should say, is that your only instrument? Or
do you play anything else? So? I played piano and guitar, So
a lot of the songs that I have out I play piano and or guitar
on I want to say, like, okay, and what is piano?
What you started out on as far as instruments? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I got like a basic understanding of the piano and then I kind of
ran with it and that allowed me, you know, the ability to understand
guitar a little bit easier. Once I had like my bearings with one instrument.
Not great by any means of either of them, but I can trick
it. It makes sense though the way you explain it, because I've had
so many people say. I've heard so many people say, and some have
said it to me during interviews, that no matter what instrument you wind up
playing, you should you should start out learning or at some point you should
learn even just basic keyboarding, because it will help you and everything else.
Now I did not do I didn't do that. Unfortunately. I play bass
and I can play a little bit of guitar. I cannot play anything on
a keyboard. I wish that I could. Maybe someday I'll go back and
learn. But I've heard a lot of people explain it the way you just
did that if you start out, you know, you learn the fundamentals on
a keyboard and then you can that kind of sets you up to learn whatever
else it is you want to learn. So that that makes sense. Yeah,
yeah, of course. I mean keyboard was a you know, learning
the keys was a game changer for me. It opened my mind to a
lot. It helped me a lot with pitch, and you know, it
allowed me to think outside the box when I'm writing because I can just sit
down at my piano and I can write a song. And when you started
out, were you singing it all? Or were you just rapping? Nah?
I was just rapping. That's what I thought. Yeah, because obviously
on the material you do now there's there's some rapping, but there's some of
these tracks where you just straight sing throughout the track. Was that a change
that you made paid consciously along the way in terms of your style or did
that just happen organically? It kind of just happened, Like as I grew
into myself as a as an artist and as a as an adult, it
kind of shifted sonically. Yeah. You know, I woke up one day
and I'm like, I think I can do better than this. I'm listened
like, I was listening to my music and I was like, you know,
this kind of sucks. I mean self awareness. Self awareness is a
double edged story of my friends, but you know this, this worked in
my favor. I was listening to my stuff and I was like, man,
like, I don't think I'm living up to my fullest potential. I
was like, I know that I can do something that's more interesting than this.
This has been done before, this has then executed before I and I
wasn't making the music that I enjoyed anymore. And I was like, all
right, well, let me try this one thing. One time. Yeah,
and you know, I tried it and I kind of haven't looked back
since. You know, I when I first started out, I wasn't the
best singer. I mean, I'm still not an amazing singer. Well I
could, I could sing, you know, but what was taught to me
was like, some of the greatest singers of all time aren't amazing singers by
any means necessay, but they're they're genuine like you can hear it, like
you can hear sincerity in their voice, right, you know, right,
So that's just all I try and go for is just like that, that's
that sincerity. Mm. Yeah, no, it's it's definitely working for you,
absolutely reckless, you used to sing. What happened? I never heard
you sing anymore. I realized that I sucked and and producing. That's what
happened because I used to play guitar, piano, and drums. So that's
that all helped me. That all helped me so much with DJing. Well,
you guys have something in common because, uh, I don't know if
you know this justin, but I've interviewed DJ Rackless on the show many years
ago, where he brought in his guitar and sang some songs for that was
a time in my life. I'd also rather not go back to whoa that's
cool man. Yeah. Now, but dj and djaying is just so much
It's so much more funner dude for me. Yeah. Yeah, Well,
you know, you do whatever you get you there exactly, exactly, Yeah,
yeah, absolutely. And what are your plans? Obviously you're you're doing
a ton of touring. Do you have are there short term plans to release
more music? I'm sure there's long term plans, but are do you Do
you have anything coming up in the near future. Oh yeah, I have
a new song coming out on the twenty seven. I knew it was sometime
soon. Yeah. Yeah, so wait that's in a week. Yeah yeah,
he goes, wait this in a week. Yeah, it's coming right
up. Yeah. And then I'm just gonna drop so much music, a
lot of it fast. Yeah. Yeah. Are on him? Are you
at this point? Are you? Are you releasing any albums or EPs?
Are you just doing singles because a lot of artists now are just doing singles.
Album I'm a I'm a big fan of the album and I'm a big
fan of the concept album. So I do have an album that is finished
for the most part. Oh, and I'm gonna begin my role out for
it starting next week. Oh okay, So this single coming up is from
the album. Yeah, oh, very cool. You'll have to send that
to us. Man, we'll we'll play it on here. We we can
do a whole h we'll do a whole thing. But that yeah, yeah,
absolutely absolutely. But so you've got the show tomorrow night right here in
Manchester, and then do you have another one in the area following that or
I mean, you went through the itinerary, but it was a lot of
shows. You're you're so busy. Where what what's your next show after after
tomorrow night? Graham Rapids Michigan Wednesday, I'll be out there. I'll fly
out there. That is one place I did not play, but I've always
wanted to play Michigan for some reason. Yeah, because we did that.
When I did that thirty show, that thirty one they run, it was
like, I think we played twenty different states. A lot of big is
huge, A lot of big artists played in Utah, Michigan. There's nothing
in Utah, by the way, guys. Last year, I mean,
when I did Michigan last year, it was sick. I crowdsurfd on I
was last Oh no when I tried to do it. I tried to do
that at Brighton and uh yeah they they they told me, now, oh
yeah, dude, you can't. Yeah. It was my first time.
Bright Music. Man, they got this, dude, and they've changed so
much because like I played there in December with I Will See In Sammy Adams,
and I was like, yo, this is the perfect venue for this.
Yeah, and I go up to them. They go absolutely not.
I go, oh yeah, man, you you went well that See that's
your problem. You gotta you gotta ask. You know, it's easier to
say sorry later than ask permission. I also split my my leg wide open
or the white white pants on on their damn barricades. Well, okay,
barricades are terrible. Well in that case, maybe that a point not wanting
you to do that stuff. Then do you ever think about it? Think
about that? Absolutely, go for it happens. There's an art. There's
an art to the crowd surf man, there's an art to the stage dive.
You've got to really feel it out. Yeah. But but but you're
not supposed to ask permission, right, I mean, you feel it out,
man, I didn't know that. No. But here's the thing.
Here's the thing. Like some venues, if they have like a strict no
stage dive policy. Yeah, if you stage dive, they have the right
to take away the money, yeah, or find you, which is insane.
Yeah yeah, no, quite a few venues like that. Now.
Yeah, it takes this one person to be like, yeah, I got
hurt and then boom, next thing, you know, you're that's true.

We just heard Run from the Devil, a great track from our musical guest
earlier, Justin Clancy. Really loved talking with him and I had interviewed him
a long time ago and DJ Reckless set that up today and very cool to
reconnect with him and I love what he's doing now. So really good stuff.
Yeah that was dope. Yeah, yeah. It all ended in my
lap too, at like two PM. I was like, why don't I
have this kid? Try to get this kid on the show, not knowing
at all that you knew him. Yeah, So I was like, okay,
awesome, and then you go, I know this kid. I go,
who don't you know? At this point, right, who don't I
know that's right, that's right. Well, I've been doing this for three
hundred years, as we discussed earlier, long, long time ago. I've
been doing this. I've been doing this since before you were born. Well,
maybe not quite that. In my day, back in my day,
when it was that irritates me so much when people say that, when adults
say that back in my day, oh, I don't I don't like I
don't like that hole back in my day vibe that I always have, you
know, it's it's like I call it old man syndrome. I always like
say to people, I'm like, back in your day, you had to
walk ten miles uphill and then ten miles back up hill to go to school.
So I've always said, I I promise you, if I live to
be one hundred years old, I promise you you will never hear me say
well, back in my day everything was wonderful, but today everything is terrible.
I will never do that ever, because you know, you can you
can walk into you can walk into any dunkin Donuts on a morning, right,
and and you see the old guys sitting at a table in the corner
and chest and if you or just they're just talking, but if you eavesdrop
a little bit on the conversation, that's what you'll hear. Well, back
in my day, everybody loved America and now these young people they all hate
America. And I don't know what's the problem here. You know you're the
problem. Well, anyway, a nursing home down in Washington, d sees
the problem. Yes, that's what. Well, Nikki Hayley has referred to
Congress as I love that YouTube commercials that Yeah, yeah, what does she
say the world's most privileged nursing home or something? Yeah, something like that.
Yeah, hilarious. Yeah, there's some old older folks. Not to
be agist, but it's funny because like Chuck Grassley, I don't know if
you have ever seen him, he's in his nineties and he seems perfectly sound
mentally, and you know, but although he's also very healthy physically. He
runs. That guy, he's in his nineties and he goes running. And
Joe Biden like four days a week. Well, no Biden can ride a
bike. He just he falls. But that's you know, at eighty I
think he's eighty one next month, at at eighty one, years old,
You're gonna fall down occasionally, but you know it. But it's not it's
not so much about age, but how people age. People age very differently.
I mean, I've you know, like Chuck Grassley is an example of
somebody in his nineties who seems perfectly sound mentally and physically. And but you
know, I've met I've met thirty year olds who seem like they're on their
last legs, usually because of poor personal choices. But you know, but
it does happen. So you know, all we can do is try to
try to take care of ourselves and hope for hope for the best. But
I was going to say I'd put my opinion in on that. But there's
even probably get canceled. There's even a rumor that if if anything happens with
Trump and he drops out, Chuck Grassley might get into the race. You
know, so we can keep electing older and older presidents, but oldest president
alive. Yeah yeah, let me uh, let me give the studio line
and we'll say he load everybody in the Facebook live chat. And then I
know you wanted to talk about something that happened on social media, But if
you do want to chime in six oh three two five six seven is a
studio line six O three two five six seven, And we'll say hello to
everybody in here. Easyg joins us and says shilloam, peeps. Hello.
Also Jenny is in the Chatterwoman says shaloam peeps. Oh, Jenny said shalom.
Eric said hello, but they both said peeps, reckless. I see
you're in there, as well as Crystal, our friend from the Great State
of Illinois. Christal says the Pentagon just had a press conference. Uss Carney
intercepted missiles shot from Yemen today. That must have just happened a little bit
ago. I didn't even know about it. We'll probably take a closer look
in the second hour. Carol's a Warwitz joins us in the chat. Also
Mike from Queen City Cabinetree, one of our great sponsors here at WM and
h Mike Sutterarth, who we heard from earlier at the top of the show,
Hello, Mike. Miriam vanishes in the Chatteroman says good afternoon. Also
Jay Fed from the Great State of Vermont, along with Melanie La Liberty and
Ronda Faverro from the Great State of California. Checking in and Jay Fed was
commenting on how much he likes that song that Run from the Devil by Justin
Clancy so very good, very good. So uh what uh what happened to
you on that? Uh? You know, you know, back in my
way, we didn't have social media. We just talked to each other on
the telephone. Don't don't get me started in this one. To the you
know, the the Jeopardy music. I'm just kidding, to the game show
music, because like, literally, my my dating life is like a game
show at this point. Oh, I'm just kidding. Nah, Man,
well, there are there are game shows about dating. My life's a game
show. I'm just kidding. Nah. So it's no secret. Obviously I'm
back. I'm back in the dating game, right, It's no secret.
Everyone's talking about it. I start like talking to this girl, okay,
and I get a message yesterday morning, or a few messages yesterday morning that
apparently there's a Facebook group in Manchester called are we dating the same guy in
Manchester? Guess who's plastered on the front page good old dj A reckless.
Well that's good publicity. I mean yeah, I mean I saw that.
I got like five star reviews. From like every female of that comments,
which is great, awesome. I'm so, I'm I'm honored. I'm just
a decent human being when it comes to that. Yes, yes, but
it was like why is this a thing? And it was like I was
so confused. I was like, dude, it brought me to the point
where like, are we in the eight like at the time in our lives
where like doing the bare minimum that a guy should do, like because it's
still early on in whatever this relationship is, okay, doing the bare minimum
is the most to some females, I don't know what you mean, Like,
can you explain the dwarf from the fourth female? Like I had this
girl tell me, she goes, no guy has ever done that for me.
I'm like, oh, yeah, that is Their jaw dropped, like
yeah what Yeah, yeah, that's kind of a I mean, I you
know, I still I still open the car door for Jenny when she gets
in. It's a gentleman thing to do. Yeah, absolutely, but yeah,
a lot of it is true. That's but that that's kind of been
dead for a long time. Unfortunately. Chivery's dead. Yeah is that how
you say silvery chivalry? Yes? Chivalry? But I know back to the
Facebook group. I couldn't believe there was a Facebook group with almost like thirteen
thousand females and I'm like, what thirteen thousand? Yeah, they're like all
from New Hampshire. And I was like, so now I'm over here,
even if I wanted to talk to other females now, because it wasn't a
serious thing, one dred percent can't now everybody knows that I'm probably in a
relationship. Wait, I'm really confused. Single but not single essentially. Okay,
because we're still in talking stage. You're talking about what talking about not
being single? I don't understand being in a relationship, talking about being in
a relationship. We're thinking about it, you know what I mean, we're
still feeling out the waters, right. I don't think you feel out waters
right, But you know what I'm saying, Well, when you mix metaphors,
I do that too. I'm not judging all the time. I'm terrible
with it. But uh, okay, so you're on your way to potentially
being in a relationship. Yeah, but I don't know. But where does
this Facebook group come into all this? Then? I don't understand. I
was just surprised that I was on it. Oh man. I was just
like, damn, am I famous now? Because I had people. I
have people messaging me, Oh, you got yourself a booth thing? I
go, what a boothing? I do? What's a booth? I guess
I do? Is that something I have to look up on Urban Dictionary?
Yeah, we'll let you look that up. I actually don't because it's probably
gonna come up something totally different because Urban Dictionary is it scares me. Sometimes
the things on there are just vulgar. You know, it's terrible. But
yeah, no, I couldn't. I was in shock yesterday. Huh.
I was for most of the day and I couldn't outlive it because I got
like twenty messages from people and I was like, oh my god, did
they all ask you about the booth thing? They all did. Wow,
it almost sounds like it could be a horror movie. Hey, but the
boothing but put in good news, like there was nothing said bad about me
right from all the other females in the group, which shout out to y'all,
Yeah, thank you so much. Yeah you did say five star reviews.
I started, I'd call it five stars. Wow, it's like you
were putting a five star booth. Was Is that a thing? Yeah,
I got an idea of it. We're gonna start a kissing booth on Elm
Street. No, uh, we need to be I think at least a
couple more years removed from the pandemic before before we start doing anything that.
Yeah, you're gonna a solid point there, I mean, you know,
and solid point you know. I would h I mean, if I had
an to do with it at all, I would insist that everyone be fully
vaccinated. And you know, people around here, they kind of it's almost
like not cool to be vaccinated for whatever reason. Uh, But uh yeah,
I don't uh so, uh, Melanie said in the chat room,
she said, Melanie La Liberty. She said, what I have like fifteen
thousand females in my groups looking to chat with me. I am also in
discussions with someone about if we want to get serious too. Wow give up?
But no, Like I kind of lost track during during all of this,
but I was like me too. I was shocked. Man, Yes,
I was like, how is this a thing that's happened during this day
and age? You know? But what is the purpose of this group?
Because guys suck? Yeah? But why so? So the idea is if
you think if you're a female and you think that your male or your partner
is I guess it wouldn't even matter. It could be anybody, right,
if you think they're cheating, you're you're supposed to go into this group and
see if anyone else is. So what do women go in there and post
pictures of the men that they're with to see if anyone okay, to see
if someone else that can identify them online dating profile was on that thing.
I was like, this is exactly why I don't have online dating profiles right
here. Yeah, needless to say, I deleted that account right after.
It's weird to me that in the age of social media that anyone would even
think they would get away with anything. Yeah, honestly, you know.
I mean, I can't just trash on guys because girls do it too.
I see it every day. Of course in these clubs. It's like,
yo, so I can't just trash on guys because females do the same thing.
But I think bringing it to the extent of starting a Facebook group.
I understand that women are trying to protect each other. I get that completely,
but damn dude, and it only takes what I said yesterday, is
like these groups could be so toxic because it only takes one female who you've
had a bad experience with to say something. You know what I mean?
Right? Like I had a comment yestory that I just got out of a
relationship a week ago. Like, first of all, correct yourself because that's
not the not the thing. You don't know anything about my my, my
past relationships. Stay out of it. You're just doing it because you don't
like me. Uh huh, you know what I mean now? Crystal posted
from Urban Dictionary. See, I thought you were saying a boothing, but
she said, it's a booth thing, right two words? Oh see,
I thought you were saying a boothing, like uh, you know, like
if you go to a restaurant and it is where they sit you down in
a booth, you got a boothing. It's a boo thing. Oh okay,
And uh so she posted the definition in the chat room. It's actually
very clean. Uh. One one a name to call someone like a boy
or girlfriend, or two someone you're interested in or three your main guy slash
girl. A boo thing, yeah, which I've heard in song lyrics.
Actually, well, either way, after this interview, this is that's all
probably all ruined. So uh huh, Yeah, shot myself in the foot
there, But it made for great a great bit it did. Melanie in
the chat room says, uh, women are forming groups to protect themselves.
I bet you guys never walked home with your keys interweaved through your fingers on
percent. I understand where they're coming from. I understand where she's coming from.
Course I knew it was going to take this direction. Yeah, anytime
I'm out at a club, anytime I'm DJing anything anything like that, all
my female friends know, if there's one thing wrong, text me, shoot
me a text, shoot me a look. I'll get it dealt with,
especially out of these clubs, because guys are weird. Guys are weird,
guys are a holes man. We did a whole thing was a couple of
years ago now, but we did a whole segment on the show about It
involved someone we don't really talk about anymore, but who used to uppear on
the show on a on a semi regular basis. We did a whole segment
about how you know, like if you're at a bar, you know,
don't don't leave your just as an example, don't leave your drink unattended because
somebody might put something into it. And that goes for anybody male or female,
but especially women are are you know, vulnerable to that kind of thing.
Although in New Hampshire you can't take the drink into the bathroom with you,
although taking the drink into the bathroom with you would be kind of gross
anyway. Yeah, but I would, I would. I would just not
you know, finish the drink and then use the bathroom or or you know,
just leave it, leave it with someone safe. Yeah, I'm working
on actually doing there's a company out there that makes covers for your drink that
you just like stick on or you have a scrin that folds out into a
cover. Yeah, I'm working on trying to get something going with a company
so I can get like my logo on top of these caps. So these
so the the bar that I'm playing, like six out three, you can
hand them out. Oh that's a good idea. Yeah, Yeah, it's
branding and it's also it's it's drink safety. Yeah, that's a that's a
really good I can't tell you how many how many times if I'm opening for
for somebody like a DJ, and my female friends are there. I usually
what I try to do, especially at six oh three, is I try
to get like I have there's tables to the side of the stage. I
will get my friends over there hanging out with me so they feel safe.
Or like if I have a big stage or whatever, I'll get my friends
up on that stage. So the one they're having the time of their life.
Two they feel safe and no guys are hitting on them or being weird
or following them around a club. Right. And I also walk my friends
out to their cars whenever they're leaving if I can, yeah, or I
have one of my friends walking out to their cars that I trust. No,
that's good, that's good. Eric Street joins us in the chat,
says Christian should join the Morning Show for love advice. Absolutely not. I'm
the worst person to go for love advice. Guess Oh, I thought you
were gonna say, you don't. You don't want to get up that early?
Oh that too, man, that's not happening. I go to bed
at that time. What are we talking about. I think I caught the
Morning Show this for for the first time in like a minute this week.
Yeah, I saw it live, and it's like I'll watch it Melanie said
in the chat room, call your buddies out on the blank they do instead
of branding anti rape tools. I do call my my friends and people out.
I call a lot of people out over the yeah stuff they do.
Come on, I just posted about it the other day. Yeah, am
I wrong? Like no, no, And the comments under that post really
disgusted me because it showed how terrible the human races some days. Well.
Also, you can't possibly you're not gonna know everybody who's in the club,
so you can't. You can't protect every everybody. So I I like the
idea of the drink covers. Yeah, And what she's doing right now is
trying to turn it into a totally different narrative if we want to get into
this, because like like I, like you just said, I don't know
everybody. I know a lot of people. Yeah, I'm gonna call people
out whenever I see something wrong or I'm gonna or I'm gonna put a stop
to that obviously. Yeah, but I think encouraging people to be safe as
as a and calling people and branding if you're really gonna twist it like that,
yeah, No, I plus, but that's not that's not the reason
I'm doing it right, that's not the moral I have morals. There's a
totally different reason I'm doing it well. Also, people are more likely to
use something if there is some sort of branding associated with it exactly instead of
something generic. I mean, that's just that's just a fact of marketing.
So no, I think it's a good idea. I think it's a good
idea. Melodies said, Oh, I'm I'm sorry you don't like me twisting
your male narrative around? What male narrative? No? No, no,
if we want to get into this, we can get into this. Yeah.
No, seriously though, also the sons in my eyes, but what
male narrative here? Because what I'm what I'm vouching for and advocating for is
female safety and drink safety in these clubs. It's always something I've done,
yeah, from day one, which is why I had the client. While
I have the amount of people that come out of my demographic is probably at
least sixty five percent female coming out to these clubs to see me because they
feel safe and now with their friends. If they're coming with in groups with
their girlfriends, they know, you know, I'm a text away or a
call away or something or whatever. Right you with the sun in your eyes,
you look like an angel. Thanks man, Jenny, you might you
might have to be worried. Uh, Melanie says, how many of your
friends did you see? Uh? Coming home with ripped clothes? High five
on your posts? Though? Wow, what she's really Uh? I understand
where she's coming from one hundred percent, of course, but I just don't
think like it's hard to explain for me to explain. Yo, at this
point, Matt, I can't even see you with this on of my eye,
so I'm just like looking and hoping I'm making eye contact with you.
Yo, I'm going blinde movie here. I know it's it's no right at
that time. Of understand where she's coming from, of course, yeah,
I think she's trying to twist this. Just to twist this, well,
I think that's what she does. Well. Oh, no offense to you,
Melanie, obviously, I know you've been a long time listener. Well,
I think I think you both want the same thing. You both want
women to be safe. Uh huh. But she's trying to make it seem
like my friends do this when no, my friends don't. I don't.
I don't put myself in a group of friends where these guys are weirdos.
Right. I can't tell you how many times I've had to save my friends
from thirty year old drunk guys hitting on a twenty one year old drunk girl
trying to take them home like that just irks me. And I made it
known the other day, and the comments under that post from women from women
okaying this was like disgusting, disgusting, dude, Well I think they're thirty
one. Oh mama. I used to talk to older guys, not when
you were absolutely blackout drunk. There's a totally big difference here. Yeah.
I used to see a lot, uh you know, when I would when
I would play in bands and yeah, you see some things at bars and
yeah, and being in yeah, and you know, being in night life,
you see a lot of things that like disgust you, dude. Yeah,
Tom Blanchard said said in the chat, this is kind of a callback.
Actually, he said, Gee, if only you had Advisor on your
hat. Remember when he used to give you a hard time about how you
wear your hat. That's funny, Yeah, solid point this time, this
time I'm going to give it to him because I'm going blind right now.
Oh my goodness. Oh, I'm already blind as it is without my glasses.
But like damn Jesus cool, it doesn't help. No, it doesn't
help at all. I'm going blind and that's and that's it. If you
wonder to find out why I don't show up to Jewel tomorrow, justin it's
because I went blind here today. I'm already deaf. Now I'm gonna be
blind. My eyes are literally watering. Yeah, well it's it's past the
top of the hour, so we should take a break. I'm gonna play
another justin Clancy song. Are you sticking around or do you have to go?
Why not? Yeah? All right, a little bit? All right,
let's see. So this is uh, this is called empty space and
this features a slug of atmosphere. Uh so I check this out a little
more justin Clancy for you, and then we'll show some love to our amazing
sponsors and we'll be back with our number two new marrow dose Don't Go Away,
No Food, so the same. So when you go to sleep,
I hope you dream of better than no black girl white just in between the
lines of colored gray, no TV screens or make believe k further and despair.
I thought they saw me pleading. For a second, I thought they'd
come around and know my face. I thought I found religion for a moment,
until I pray to God and no one came, and y'all ain't gonna
take me alive. Apply another code of paint based on a lie. Before

had mentioned this in the chat room earlier, and she shared a link.
US Navy destroyer in Red Sea shoots down cruise missiles potentially headed toward Israel.
According to the Pentagon, the missiles were fired by Iranian backed who the Missile
Militia in Yemen. The Department of Defense said the USS Carney a Navy destroyer
in the Red Sea today shot down multiple missiles launched by Iranian backed Houthi's in
Yemen, and the Pentagon said were potentially headed to targets in Israel. The
ship intercepted three land attack cruise missiles and about eight drones, Pentagon spokesman Brigadier
General pat Ryder said at a press conference. The preliminary US assessment is that
the USS Carney was not the target of any of the missiles. Information about
the engagements was still being processed. Rider said, quote, we cannot say
for certain that these missiles and drones were targeting who these missiles and drones were
targeting, but they were launched from Yemen heading north along the Red Sea,
potentially to targets in Israel. It's unclear from where the missiles were fired.
This occurred, Oh, this this actually according to this, it occurred during
the early evening hours today local time. Okay, so this was happening as
we were getting on the air and the missiles were taken down over water,
not land. The Pentagon said, well, I certainly hope that things don't
escalate in the Middle East. That's that's not good. Not good. Miriam
in the chatroom says scary. Yeah, call me an optimist, but I
don't think that things will be escalating beyond beyond Israel and invading I mean,
I guess that's the right term to use, invading Gaza at least I I
certainly, I certainly hope not. Do you worry about this reckless the world
that you're that you're in as a as a young man. Do you worry
about the future? I do, But I'm also like, nobody take the
strongway. I haven't really been focused on that. Yeah, I don't watch
the news anymore because I'm depressed as it is, right, it's just gonna
make me more depressed. Yeah, Like I see the protest out here on
Elm Street all the time now, which has been huge recently. Oh yeah,
I walked through a group of Nazis the other day and uh yeah,
that's right. Jenny mentioned that to me was quite interesting last Yeah, tell
us about that. I just I egged them on. I was like saying
some wild things to them that I cannot repeat on the show. Now,
were they literal Nazis? Like did they have swastikas? Yeah? I think
weren't they read out here on you read out here on ELM. I saw
that beginning to form at the end of my show one day me and there
was like probably there was more of them than there was like the other people
on the other side, you know, And I was disgusted. So obviously
what I do is I take my phone, I put it on camera,
I put it on record, and I walk right through there and I say
some wild stuff because it's wrong, it's disgusting. Yeah, what uh I
mean? Were they when I when I left here, I saw I saw
a group out there, a group of people. They were just kind of
I didn't hear them chanting anything like that. They were just kind of hanging
around. But I think they had signs and you know, anti Israel stuff.
This is where I said this, This is where I was the problem.
Yeah, they weren't saying anything as much the other side was. The
other side had like a megaphone or something. And of course what do I
do, Like, because I love controversy and I love, unfortunately kind of
like a little bit of conflict every now and time and now and then in
my life. I walked through there and I speak my mind right in front
of them. Yeah, because one of them says something to me and obviously,
but I don't like Usually I don't like what you're saying and you're doing
something drastic like this, Like I understand your right to protest, but I
also have my right to free speech. Oh absolutely, Yeah. Guess what,
I'm going to use it and I'm gonna egg you on, yeah,
because I want it reaction out of you, which is my downfall. It's
such such a such a terrible thing to do. But like stuff like that,
there's no room in this world for that. Man hey, And it's
disgusting and it's absolutely I hate it, absolutely rely. Now you gotta you
gotta stand up to it. Certainly was there as this was happening. Uh?
Did you feel at any point that there was that there was a risk
of violence? Absolutely not. The cops were right there. Oh okay,
absolutely not. I know you think I would have done this if the cops
weren't there. Absolutely yeah, I did see U. I did see Manchester
Police had a good presence, so they did. There was probably about seventy
eight of them, yeah, which is wise. Yeah. So there were
two groups that were there were the Nazis and there could I could I have
been charged with inciting a right. Most likely if something that happened, Oh,
I don't know, thought about it down the line, but at the
time I didn't care. Well, there wouldn't have been a riot. They
just would have if somebody had had gotten violent with you. I mean,
if if somebody got violent with you, they would be the one, you
know, I mean assault is you know, someone asked to take the first
swing or the first I'm not swinging in general, man, I gotta protect
my reputation. So if one of them were to be violent with you,
then you know, they would be the ones in trouble. But yeah,
so I do. I don't think you had much to fear there necessarily.
But how how long did that last? It was probably about three hours?
Man, No, I mean, uh you you interact walking me walking through
Probably like two minutes. Yeah, because then we got into a debate and
I was like, I have no, I don't have the brain cells to
listen to you. I'm like, you're stupid, uneducated, and you're disgusting.
Yeah. I was like, go back to high school, please go
read the history books. Now here's the question. Do you ever when you're
djying have you ever seen anyone at any of your shows? Who you recognize
from a situation like that. No, that's good. No, that's good
because that would be obviously I've gotten to my fair share of scuffles and the
clubs or stuff like that where I've seen people no, not like that.
Yeah, that would be, that would be pretty uncomfortable, I would imagine.
Jeez. Yeah, well, good for you for speaking up to them.
Was was there anyone else who was doing that too or at the moment
that you're stuff like that? But yeah, well the honking thing is weird
because if you're you don't know who you're honking for, right right? You
know, you don't you don't know if they don't know are you are you
honking because you're against them? Or are you honking in solidarity with them?
Yep? You know. Uh but but that's where a good old fashioned middle
finger comes in, handy, that's man. Yeah. Yeah, Unfortunately,
I think we're gonna see a lot of a lot more of that kind of
thing. Fortunately, which is which is which is terrible. Just I don't
understand how these people at this point it's a disease. Yeah, An,
I'm like, because none of these these were all young people in their thirties,
are probably active on Twitter, on Reddy and couch Keyboard Warriors most of
the time. Yeah, that's it's it sounds weird to say it this way,
but I would it's almost more disappointing to know that they were younger people
in a sense we saw people in their thirties. I'm telling you right now.
Yeah, that's that's disappointing in the sense that I mean, at least
if they're old, it's like, okay, well, I mean, no
age is appropriate to be a Nazi. But at least if they're old,
you can say, well they'll they'll probably die off soon. But if they're
in their thirties, that means they're they're young, they have plenty of time
to continue to spread and perpetuate their hate. Dude, It's just it's it's
disgusting. You know. It irritates me so much beyondwards because it's like,
how can you go through high school or school, read about this stuff in
the history books and be okay with it? Yeah, because I guarantee you
these kids weren't like this in high school. Well who knows. I mean,
I mean, I bet you the majority of them actually had a good
child hopefully. Yeah, I swear. I mean some of them probably not.
Yeah, but like it's the Internet, it's it's websites like Reddit.
Oh redd, it's such a such reddit. It's so yeah coxic and assessmul
and it disgusts me. Oh yeah. That's the thing too with social media.
And this isn't like an anti social media thing, because I think social
media is a great thing. But unfortunately there is a dark side to it.
Like most great things, there is a dark side to it. And
the dark side of social media is that it's easier than it's ever been to
uh spread very bad ideas and uh toxic and evil ideology, and then to
recruit people into those toxic ideologies and spread that hate. This is something that
you know, I've told the story on the show before, but I had
h This was back when Charlotteessville happened. And a good friend of mine who
very conservative Republican, but he and not someone who had any kind of hate
in him. But I remember he and I having a conversation where he said
to me, you know, Matt, you know these these people with the
tiki torches, you know, they're idiots. Just just ignore them, Just
ignore them, and they'll go away, and I tried to explain to him.
No, at one time, you might have been able to get away
with saying that in that, Okay, you can you can marginalize these uh
you know, whether they're you know, Nazis or whatever whatever else, whether
they're literal Nazis or just just racist, you can you can say that,
yeah, just ignore them and marginalize them, don't give them any oxygen,
don't give them any attention, and uh, you know, and and and
they're just irrelevant. But the problem is and actually, I mean, you
know, when I say get away with that, I mean, yeah,
there was maybe something to that, and that you could ignore them and uh,
you know, they'll just have to hang out with their other friends who
feel the same way, and and they can just be by themselves in the
woods with their little militia or whatever. But but now it is so easy
to create Facebook groups, for example, where you can recruit people, you
know, weak minded people who who believe that they're somehow, that they're somehow
being marginalized by a world that is changing around them and they don't have the
intellect to appreciate diversity, so because they feel threatened by it in some way,
they're just very small people who feel like they don't have any power in
the world, who get recruited because they're kind of stupid to begin with.
They get recruited into these very toxic ideologies and because I believe can't prove it
as a counterfactual. So who knows. But I believe it's quite possible that
were it not for social media. And again I'm not against social media.
I use social media to promote the show and the various other things I do.
But I don't know that before social media, if Charlotte'sville ever would have
happened, because there were people from all over. It wasn't just local people
at Charlottesville where Heather Hire was killed, for example, people were recruited from
other parts of the country who went there specifically for that event and to carry
their their tiki torches and chant their racist, anti Semitic chants and and all
of that nonsense. And you know, prior to social media, I don't
know if that. I don't know if that would have happened. And people
would say, like, like my friend who I talked, I'll leave his
name out of it, but he's since passed away, but I'll leave his
name out of it. But people will say, would say to me,
you know, at the time, he wasn't the only one to say it
to me. Oh, Matt, just ignore them, just ignore them.
And it's like, no, there is no just ignoring them, because it
is easier than it's ever been to put bad ideas out into the world and
then recruit very stupid people into those very bad ideas, into going along with
what you're doing and believing in what you're spreading. On the positive side,
it's also easier than it's ever been to put very good ideas out into the
world and try to spread those because of the Internet and because of social media.
But but you cannot you cannot afford to say, oh, just ignore
them. You can't do that, not in not in the day and age
that we live in. Hate is malignant. And I use that word very
deliberately because it spreads like a cancer. And you know, if you get
a cancer diagnosis, you don't just say, oh, I'll just ignore it.
I'll just won't pay any attention to it and maybe, you know,
maybe it'll go away. It doesn't work that way. You have to confront
it. And hate is exactly the same way we have a call. Hi,
welcome to Matt Connorton unleashed. Who's this? What's up? Mat?

O six o seven is a studio line if you'd like to get in with
a call. Wow, it's already pretty late in the show, so don't
delay. Six oh three two five six seven You know so text me at
six one seven nine one seven four four seven six. I'm on social media
at Matt Connorton. You can email me Matt at Matt connorton dot com,
and of course you can interact into opine in the Facebook live chat. But
the best thing to do is to give us a call at six O three
two five oh so seven. Melanie was commenting uh in the chat about you
know you were saying about the the Nazis and the protests and you know,
uh what about the you know, reading about this in the history books.
Melanie made a comment. She said, because it's not in the history books.
There are paragraphs maybe, but no one wants kids uncomfortable with horrid history.
Yeah, she says, the same reason why racist American history has glossed
over. Uh. There are worse things than being uncomfortable. Yeah, it's
like what they do in Florida with the uh. They don't uh, you
know, they don't want to make anybody upset. I I I believe that,
uh, you know, you can, you can uh still love your
country, but uh but learn about uh some of the the negatives and uh
and teach history. Honestly, I think that uh, I think that we
need to trust our young people to be able to handle both you know,
uh we want them to you know, hopefully uh hopefully appreciate the country that
they live in, but also learn the truth. We are far from perfect,
and I think they should be taught exactly all of our history, you
know, warts and all. That's that's that's my view of it. Isaac
Banks says at Matt Connerton. My friend Jeff Pyghari says, you have a
wonderful show. Well, thank you to Jeff Pygari. Crystal says, I
graduated in eighty six, and they spent a long time on World War Two,
even showed us films and documentaries on what happened to the Jewish people.
We also read the diary of Anne Frank. Some of the films were one
hundred percent gory. Yeah, I mean I certainly remember reading or learning about
growing up in school, of course, about World War Two and the Holocaust,
and but there are aspects of American history that were you know, kind
of I don't want to say glossed over, because I definitely recall learning about
slavery and so forth. But you know, I didn't learn I don't remember
learning a whole lot about Columbus and uh what he was really like, you
know, things like that. Uh. There there are some elements of American
history that were definitely sort of whitewashed, if I may use that term.
Uh. Crystal also said in the chat, well, trying to scroll back
up the images imprinted in my brain, the horrible things that were done to
those Jewish people. It was very graphic, absolutely, you know, and
that's we talk a lot about that a lot now. Too, you know
as Israel, you know, suffering that horrific terrorist attack on on October seventh.
You know when they say never again, they mean it. Melanie said
in the chat room, so sad that Steve makes his fans call him mister
Steve. I actually thought Jeff was saying mister speed at first, which is
a great kiss song from the Rock and Roll Over album in the seventies.
When was that one seventy seven seventy eight, great song? Maybe I'll play
it at the end of the show. Let's see, oh, DJ Seves
and the chairman says, hi, everyone, thank you, Jeff, and
Isaac Banks corrected me, Jeff Pygari is from Wisst. I don't know if
that's how you pronounce it, North Carolina, not Greensboro. Let's see.
Tom Blanchard says, keep it up, reckless, You're awesome. Melanie says,
it's always easier to talk to people who agree with you versus being challenged.
Yes, although I find it more intellectually stimulating to talk with people with
whom I disagree at times. And Isaac Banks says, protest to be protest
this outrage hmmm, six three two five six seven six three two, five,
six seven. Uh. Melanie says, I wish history books talked more
about how and why stood by while these laws were passed and people were killed.
Wow, okay, UH, we do have some news in UH.
This keeps changing, seems like it changes every ten minutes. UH. Jim
Jordan is still running for speaker UH, the Ohio Republican in the UH in
the UH House. He's he had said earlier he was going to UH to
back out and they were going to maybe allow Patrick McHenry, you know,
some sort of a deal. The Democrats would have to be a part of
it, but some sort of deal to UH let Patrick McHenry as a Speaker
pro tem assume greater powers and effectively be able to run the house. UH,
so our government doesn't continue to remain paralyzed. But apparently now Jim Jordan
has said he will go for a third vote after all. But something that
I've been curious about is, UH, who is Patrick McHenry because I've never
heard of him until recently. So I did some some research earlier. But
we might say that because my dad is on the line. Hello, Hello,
many, how are you doing? Good afternoon? Good afternoon. DJ
Reckless is here, go ahead. I'm sorry, Oh I just said.
DJ Reckless is here as well at the news desk. Oh you got when
you two guys are together, DJ Reckless with that great the great beat I
call it. I love house music, you know. Yes, I'm pretty
eclectic, as you know. But you guys do a great job together.
The dialogue is funny, witty and sophisticated. Well, thank you, even
even not too left wing, which is very good, Matt, if you
know what I mean. So, Hi, DJ Reckless, I'm doing I'm
doing okay. I'm doing well on the on the whole. You know.
I could use a few extra bucks meeting off some bills. But aren't we
all in that that arena? Oh man, the rich get richer. I'm
telling you. So, just a couple of things, Matt, I wanted
to share, if that's okay. One is uh an official shout out.
I got you. I just saw your text to me, so thank you
for that. I'll get back to you on that one. But I appreciate
it. And yeah, I just wanted to clear it up, you know,
Dave, let me see what I'm saying, right, is it?
Dave Wrigley? Am I saying that right? Ridley. I'm sorry my apologies
here, Dave Ridley. I mean I get his spirit, you know,
which is for liberty and independent and the common good in realistic terms and not
trusting totalitarianism at all, our big government. But I don't agree with succession.
We thought we fought a war over that man, you know, in
the eighteen sixties. So anyway, but he's a good guy. I respect
him, and I thought that was all humor. But then you know,
do I know that for sure? So thank you for clarifying that. I
appreciate that. Yeah, I mean, I want to say shout out to
Jenny going to Washington. I am not a fan. I won't mince any
words about this or equivocate. Just like with Chris Christy. That was funny
with you and Eric yesterday. I disagree with Eric on some fundamental things,
but that was funny, and I agree with you. That showed who in
my judgment, that showed who Chris Christie really is. What a jerk,
what a sociopath, what a knuckle ahead. Okay, it's not there.
I don't support him, obviously, but I'm going to critique another I'm going
to critique another Republican in a minute, but just briefly. But that was
funny. That was witty and very appropriate, you know, Donald Duck,
Oh my god. And the worst part you guys picked up on this too.
Eric had it and you had it. The worst part of that was
his look into the camera after that, thinking he had done a great thing.
I won't say anymore. What a glideas Maximus. Can you say that?
All right? So I just wanted to shout out to Jenny. I
was going to say, I don't trust Maggie Hassen at all personally, and
here's the dilemma. So and I'm with Jenny in this fight. I'll do
all I can to help because this is economic justice and a fight for economic
and social justice. Now power excellon. This is it, you know.
But I don't trust these politicians on both sides of the aisle. We look
at the fiasco and I agree with you. The Republicans now and you and
I share, we're independence now. The Republicans now are probably going to lose
the house. There's jackasses, you know what I mean? Definitely, what
is this a junior high school man? I mean, come on, someone
and let's get on with the public's business, especially at such a time of
salient crisis around the world. That's so I don't even talk about them.
But so the next point is you mentioned my taking you when you were very
young to see Paul Simon, and then you remember that you mentioned that yesterday
on the show, yep briefly and I and I thought, my god,
I thought that was Paul Simon, the singer. Oh wow. No,
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. See that that's to the old See how the
Democrat I'm not going to get into this, but how the Democrat or a
Demo rat I call him sometimes party has changed. Man, Paul Simon would
have made a great president. I think, you know, I know he
was a little didactic and you know he's a little stiff, but he would
have He would have done well. And Illinois had some you know they they
they're now in disarray. In my judgment, they're like a leftist nation Illinois.
All due respect to Crystal, but uh, but Adleie Stephenson. I
loved Adeleie Stevenson and his son, Adleie Stevenson. They were both governor.
Chris Adley Stevenson ran for president twice against popular and I like that too.
But and you know they and JFK. It was a big Bobby Kennedy,
Dad, I don't know, you know, sometimes he was he was good,
sometimes he was strange. But but the party of those people, uh,
including Waltham, I've campaigned, as you know for Walter Mondale, but
they're not They would not go I don't think they become Republicans necessarily. They'd
be independent probably, but they would not go along with the current death called
Party of the Left. You know, it's unbelievable. So just two quick
things, man, I want to say. One is my and you're going
to say my dad. You talked about this last week and being redundant,
but it's very important. Almost by the end of the year, there'll be
eight million illegal aliens that across the border. And and uh, you know,
my Arcis is a complete ass and he's a complete incompetent and I would
call him intrinsically evil at this juncture. So my Arcus says, well,
the borders sort of closed. It's not closed at all, Matt. And
it's like when this deception of the left is just unbelievable. Now the Republicans
have their own albums, but I'm gonna focus on this do you remember when
this guy took pictures topposed a journalist, and to his credit, he spoke
up the truth when this became controversial. But when they when he made the
film, when the border patrol was on horseback, remember that, and he
and it looked like at one point they whipped somebody. It looked like that,
but it wasn't the case at all. Now, I'm going to tie
this in with Khalib and just a momentum. So the Democrats essentially as a
whole party. Now there might have been a few exceptions. Typically there are,
and god bless those guys who stand up at their Democrats, but it's
rare now. So anyway, which is sad. Finally, the full investigation
the dj as corrupt as they are in my judgment, but they they got
involved in the in the and they looked at all that. They looked at
the evidence, man, not deception, not propaganda. They looked at the
evidence, objective truth, and they found that, no, they weren't whipping
anybody, and they were doing their job. Still to this day you'll hear
people say, oh, no, they were whipping illegal immigrants. And as
I said last week, so the deception and propaganda issue in the violence issue
was going to be important just a second. So last week, remember if
you reflect on this I talked about. I tried to do it carefully in
a well and as they always do with objective evidence, objective facts, objective
truth, those things are all real. Despite the less proposal that everything is
subject to your own interpretation, that's not true. And as a man of
science, Matt, you would understand that. So if you talk to people,
I'm going to say this again. I mentioned it last week. This
is a theme in a structure in the media, the lame stream media.
So what they will try to tell you is these are all people essentially from
Latin America and they all want asylum. That's not true. Many are Chinese,
many are get this from Iran, Many are from Syria. And we
know there are terrorists in the country now because of the lack of the undermining
completely the vitiation of law and otter by Biden. Biden, I'll be careful
here, so I don't like them. So anyway, I believe there is
some evidence for this too, that there are terrorst cells in America now,
some of which or some of whom in terms of people are from Hamas.
So that's something to watch. That shouldn't be a matter of disagreement or philosophical
issue. That's a matter of real seriousness. And you remember last week how
I said I would send you guys and other families if anyone had tried to
break into our home or try to harm you or anyone even with speech.
By the way, I'm all for the First Amendment, but you know,
as Oliver Wendelholms said, you don't yell fire inappropriately, and you don't use
hate speech against people. But anyway, and not to get into the complexity
of that, but do you remember when we were looking at a hall mat
in uh In Conquered, the great city of Conquered I love on the river?
Do you remember that it was a house right on the river, the
Kontookook River. It was it was a pretty it was a pretty area,
but you objected to it. Do you remember that at all? I remember
looking at a house on Hobart Street, But yeah, but I don't remember,
and I don't know. I don't know why Hobart Street stands out in
my mind, so I might not even be accurate. But I don't remember
if it was it was toward uh uh, well it was I think it
was in Pennacook, or maybe it was further further north, but it could
have been. Yeah, it could have been. I can't remember all the
spots we looked at, but we looked at this interesting house right on the
Fonocook River, which was pretty And you don't remember this now, which is
understandable, but I remember it. You you were very vocal, you said,
Dad, Mom, I don't want to live here because I'm afraid of
the river flooding. Guy. I really hadn't given much thought to Matt at
that juncture, frankly, and but then you were right that that caught my
attention, and they did have some trouble with that sub subsequently. So by
the same token, if we went once we bought that nice house, I
mean it was. It wasn't the greatest in the world. We didn't have
that much money that worked with, so you know, we we compromised in
the South End. Well, I always loved the South End of yeah,
uh, and I had a couple of friends in that area. So anyway,
if I had left, if we had had problems in the neighborhood,
and uh, you know, like people from conquered high going by and knocking
garbage cans over. You know what I'm talking about. Man, No,
But if it were more serious than that, that's bad enough. I never
knew you did that, Matt. I want to talk to you about but
anyway, because I start a couple of cars that did that. They always
did it on the other side of the street, which is kind of interesting.
But if I had left, if we had violence God forbid in the
neighborhood, and I left you I said we're going to leave the back door
wide open, you would have objected appropriately. And that's the analogy I'm using
your mat. We're leaving the big back door open, and that needs to
change. That's number one number that's in my judgment, and I will stand
by that. Didn't debate anyone on that issue. So here's the second point.
And uh, and I'm gonna end with just positive thing. So Dad,
you just gotta you gotta go, You gotta go quick. We're rapidly
running out of time. We just have a couple of minutes, so I'll
just ask you to be quick. Yes, I'll even talk. I'll even
talk like a broadcast abouty I'll talk fast. Okay, I'm kidding. I'm
sorry. I should have called earlier, but I couldn't do it. So
to leave yesterday incited people lying to people with false propaganda and deception to go
into the Capitol building. They weren't throwing stuff around, but they sat down
and refused to leave. Some of them were arrested, not all of them.
But I object strenuously, and I'll stop in this note to leave in
the squad lying about what happened in Gaza, and I do not believe.
This is my personal opinion. I won't go to all the ratifications and details,
but Biden shouldn't be sending one hundred million dollars into Gaza. That's absurd.
That's not going to go to the people. You made a good insight
yesterday. The Palestinian people who are taught hatred, that's another story. I
won't get into that. But they're taught hatred, Matt so they so like
Dicky Haley says, oh yeah, we should let them in because fifty percent
of them, our freedom fighters are not terrorists. Fifty percent are they're under
Hamas's influence. How do you know that, Miss Haley? You don't know
that. So I don't think we should let anybody in Egypt, won't let
anybody in Jordan, won't let anybody in. And you know, I'm all
against collateral damage. But when we when we when your dad, when your
dad, when your grandfather made the Normandy landing and went into Germany and we
had the air power. Go man, we lost civilians, Matt. It
was inevitable, and it's going to be inevitable in this war. But Israel
has every right not only to defend itself, but to defeat these evil bastards
once and for all. So I'll stop on that note. I just want
to say I'm always been a big fan of Share. I'm still them in
love with her, all right. Well, fair enough, she says if
if if by any chance forty five gets re elected, she's gonna leave the
country. I'm so upset about that. All right, I'll stop on that.
Now, keep up the good work, DJ, keep up the good
work. Thank you doing great, all right, dad, love you,
Thank you for the call, Love you too, a piece all right?
All right? That was my dad, Martin Connorton, And we are out
