1 00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:51,359 Hey, everybody, welcome, here we go. It is that time again, 2 00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:56,960 Matt Connerton unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n 3 00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:03,000 HIM in glorious downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Also on Comcast ninety seven if 4 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,879 you're in Manchester, and hello to all of our online listeners across the nation 5 00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:10,239 and around the globe. You can go to my website Matt Connerton dot com 6 00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:12,680 for all of your live streaming options, social media links, contact info, 7 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:18,680 show archives, etc. Etc. It is Friday, May twenty six, 8 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,159 twenty twenty three, as we move into Memorial Day weekend, which is you 9 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,599 know. Of course, I heard it referred to in that clip from the 10 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,280 History Channel, kind of an explainer of the if you heard it if you 11 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,920 were tuning in at the beginning, and explainer of the origins of Memorial Day 12 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:42,599 and how we came to commemorate the holiday. But I notice in there in 13 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,879 the clip it referred to it as the official start of the summer season. 14 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,599 But I thought it was the unofficial start of the summer season. I thought 15 00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:53,000 it the official start of summer was the day that summer officially begins on the 16 00:01:53,040 --> 00:02:00,599 calendar June something like June twenty first or something. But so I I would 17 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,719 not to nitpick, I would call it the unofficial start of the summer season. 18 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,759 But anyway, it matters not But but of course, more importantly, 19 00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:13,719 a day that we a day that we honor those who have fought for the 20 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,120 country and uh and perished in doing so, and so it is very important. 21 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,560 And also so we played that, and we also played of course Molly 22 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,639 tried to Ruin My Life, a song from Angry Joe and the Holy Socks, 23 00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,120 and Joe Williams from the band is going to be calling in, actually 24 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:35,159 skyping in, I should say, they are in the Great state of Texas. 25 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:37,960 It's too bad Texas. Mike isn't here with us today from the Great 26 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,639 state of Texas, and he sent us a bunch of great music. I'm 27 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,960 really looking forward to talking to talking to him. So that will be coming 28 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,560 up today at five pm. At around four thirty though, we have Eric 29 00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,879 Pilcher's classic film review and the subject this week is Saving Private Ryan. Of 30 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:58,479 course, very appropriate film as we do, like I said, as we 31 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:04,240 move into a Memorial Day weekend, So busy show today and someone is on 32 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,319 the line. Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton unleash. Who's this, heymouth? 33 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:13,400 It's a POLI policy from Retro Spectrum Radio with policy, How are you 34 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:20,719 good? I almost almost slipped into an impression there almost Oh um, I 35 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:25,319 who who told? Who said that that it's not the unofficial because it is 36 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,759 the unofficial The official day of summer is the first day of summer. Right. 37 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:34,719 That explainer that I played at the top of the show from the History 38 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,800 Channel, it's just like a three minute explainer of the origins of Memorial Day, 39 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,000 how it was established, referred to it as the official start of the 40 00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,560 summer season, and I was just being nitpicky and I say, no, 41 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,599 it's the unofficial start of the summer season. It is the unofficial day, 42 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:55,199 right, So whatever college intern working over at the History Channel created that needs 43 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,960 to be smacked around. That's not that's not correct. Well, now, 44 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,120 Paul, I would never advocate for violence, but I do think whoever did 45 00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:08,960 that, uh should be uh fired if they are, if they are in 46 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:13,800 fact working there, And I think they should be blacklisted, and uh I 47 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,959 think they should be docked and uh I think they should be uh never allowed 48 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:25,040 to uh even be seen in public. Again, No, they should be 49 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,639 demoted to like something lame on the History channel, like I don't dynasty or 50 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,319 something right, something like that. Yes, but yeah, same. They 51 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,800 must think they should necessarily lose their job, they should just like go to 52 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,480 you know, something like that. Well, yeah, well you did say 53 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:44,519 they should be smacked around. I'm just trying to avoid any smacking, not 54 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,399 physically. I don't believe, right, I don't believe in corporal punishment. 55 00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:51,720 Of course, I have no children, as as you do not either, 56 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,319 so we've we've never been in the position where it's even come up. Really 57 00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:59,120 but no, no, no, no smacking. This is a smack free 58 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,839 zone. No. A good talking too, yes, and a stern one 59 00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:08,680 at that, right, a verbal smacking around like what are you thinking? 60 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,560 I would wag my finger? I would, I would wag my finger right 61 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:19,959 in that person's face. Yeah, oh doubt. Unofficial, it's the unofficial 62 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:27,160 day of summer. Yes, yes, agreed. Oh oh well, what 63 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,439 can you do? Go out? Not everyone's as conscientious as we are. 64 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,399 Policy. I'm a minute and a half away from seventy two hours off, 65 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,000 so ooh good for you? Are you excited? Very much? So? 66 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,519 Yes? Well you know why, you know what I'm excited most about, 67 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,279 right, I think I can guess. Well, it's the triumphant return of 68 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,000 our co host Mike Telopeda tonight on Retrospectrum Radio. But I'm most excited about. 69 00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:58,199 Oh, very good. I didn't know that part. I assumed you 70 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,279 were going to say Retrospectrum Radio, but I did no. Mike Pelopido was 71 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,839 returning this evening. That is outstanding.

Ron. All right, But before I let 126 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,320 you go, one last final question. Did you ever find out what those 127 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:45,759 whistleblowers did wrong? Yeah?

I mean, you know, 172 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,679 it'd be terrible to h you know, have to bother him after he had 173 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,120 that that little bit of a fiasco on Twitter spaces doing his announcement the other 174 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,559 night. Anyway, I digress, Okay, So tomorrow at the Hopknot they're 175 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,320 doing drag trivia to raise money for New Leaders Council New Hampshire. I'm not 176 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,600 familiar with that organization, but I'm I'll have to learn learn about them. 177 00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:16,840 But it's for new Leaders Council New Hampshire. Uh says we'll have some raffles, 178 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:22,919 prizes and some drag numbers from Chee Chee, Marvel and glam Chowda. 179 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:30,759 And I believe, I believe I'm familiar with the individual who plays glam Chowda. 180 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:35,360 I believe he's been on the program um from a house of Marvel Entertainment. 181 00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,080 Please call and reserve spots.

I mean, 192 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,240 he's the one who actually does the planning. But this is what he 193 00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:26,039 posted. He referenced it briefly on the call, but just to give a 194 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:31,039 little bit of a little bit more detail, this is from social media Paul 195 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,559 posted. Last year on retro Spectrum Radio, we presented an evening of ACDC 196 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,559 songs with lead singer Bond Scott, and tonight we'll be featuring a CDC with 197 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,159 lead singer Brian Johnson. He's the dude who took over for Bond when he 198 00:14:45,279 --> 00:14:50,480 unexpectedly died in nineteen eighty Bond saying Highway to Hell. Brian sang back in 199 00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,360 Black. But first, at eight pm, we'll start the show with a 200 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,039 tribute to the great Tina Turner.

I'm not going to butcher your name, 213 00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:54,039 but we have a friend in the Facebook live chat who says greetings from Uganda 214 00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:58,600 Libertarians. Well, hello to you and welcome. Also. Tom Blanchard joins 215 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:02,200 us in the Facebook live chat. Tom says, Hi, match, just 216 00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:07,360 getting over cold Zilla feeling good now, Oh you had a cold. Well, 217 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:11,440 I'm glad you're feeling better. Jenny is in the chat room, of 218 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,799 course, and says shalom peeps. Scott Robinson joins us and says, have 219 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,080 a great Memorial Day weekend, my fellow O'Connor Tonight's yes, hello and happy 220 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Memorial Day week unto you. Scott and Eric Street joins us in the Facebook 221 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,279 Live chat and says, oh, good band, good band. So sounds 222 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:30,679 like Eric is an ACDC fan. Very good, very good. Just a 223 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:33,919 few minutes, we're gonna get to Eric Pilch's classic film review for this week. 224 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,159 But I suppose here's what we've been talking about it all week, the 225 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:45,759 debt limit. This is what I'm seeing right now on USA Today at USAToday 226 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:51,639 dot com. Biden and McCarthy getting quote closer to debt ceiling deal before a 227 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,240 clock runs out. It says White House and Republican negotiators are getting closer to 228 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,879 a deal to raise the debt ceiling before next Thursday, six days from now, 229 00:17:03,039 --> 00:17:07,240 according to a Democratic source familiar with talks, as President Joe Biden and 230 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,119 lawmakers prepare to leave Washington for the long Memorial Day weekend. Yeah, apparently 231 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:18,440 while they already left, so the House is adjourned. But apparently they need 232 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:25,759 to. They were told by McCarthy be ready to be on your way back 233 00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:27,640 here on twenty four hours notice. In case a deal is reached, we're 234 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,880 gonna need to get the legislation written and then vote. There are still some 235 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,559 hurdles. Even once they reach a deal, there's still some other hurdles to 236 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:37,640 clear. Oh, Miriam Bannish joins us in the Facebook live chat and says, 237 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,920 Hi, they're happy Friday, Hello Miriam. And Biden apparently is going 238 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,799 to Camp David. But you know he can be I mean, when you're 239 00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:49,079 the president, you can really work from anywhere. But he won't be far. 240 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,279 I mean he can you know, he can be brought back to the 241 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,000 White House in a matter of minutes really from Camp David. So it says 242 00:17:56,039 --> 00:18:03,440 here are the two sides working into Thursday evening made progress on annual spending caps, 243 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,200 one of the main sticking points and negotiations. According to the source, 244 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:14,000 a potential compromise would cap annual discretionary spending for two years, less than the 245 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,359 six years of Republicans have sought, but essentially keeping spending levels flat for domestic 246 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,880 programs. The deal would raise the debt ceiling, which sets a limit on 247 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,359 how much the government can borrow, through the end of twenty twenty four. 248 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,200 In another concession to Republicans, a deal in the works would roll back ten 249 00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:40,519 billion dollars of the eighty billion dollars in IRS funding approved in Biden's Inflation Reduction 250 00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:44,559 Act last year that was designed to crack down on wealthy Americans and corporations that 251 00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:51,720 evade taxes. A report from Reuters said Biden and How Speaker Kevin McCarthy were 252 00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:56,480 seventy billion dollars apart on discretionary spending. In a slim down bill expected to 253 00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:02,880 emerge that will detail top line number for years yearly spending. McCarthy has said 254 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,440 he wants to spend less in the next fiscal year than last year. The 255 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:14,359 White House declined to comment. Biden said in remarks Thursday, quote, they're 256 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,440 making progress. I've made clear time and again that defaulting on our national debt 257 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,000 is not an option unquote. Biden is racing to reach a deal with House 258 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,119 Republicans demanding budget spending cuts to get their support to raise the debt ceiling before 259 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,240 next Thursday, which Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said is the earliest state for 260 00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:38,079 a possible default. Thorny issues remain. Republicans say the White House and House 261 00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:42,440 Republicans sounded more optimistic Thursday than earlier this week, when McCarthy said, sides 262 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,279 we're still far apart. White House Press Secretary Karyne Jehan Pierre said White House 263 00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:52,319 negotiations have had productive discussions with Republicans and reiterated that the only path forward is 264 00:19:52,359 --> 00:20:03,880 bipartisan legislation that gets support from lawmakers in both parties. Representative Patrick McHenry, 265 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,240 Republican of North Carolina, one of the top Republican negotiators, told reporters yesterday, 266 00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:12,079 quote, the work that we're doing centers on a shorter and shorter array 267 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,880 of issues closer yes, is it more difficult, yes, unquote, describing 268 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,880 thorny issues that remain. In addition to spending cap stocks between the White House 269 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,920 and asked Republicans have centered on Republicans proposals for stricter work requirements for recipients of 270 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,440 food stamps and other welfare benefits, expedited permitting, permitting I should say, 271 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,799 for oil and gas projects, and rescinding COVID nineteen relief money. One of 272 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:44,279 the remaining holdups is finalizing an agreement on work requirements, which the White House 273 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,640 has resisted. This goes on for a bit. That's a pretty extensive article, 274 00:20:49,680 --> 00:21:02,119 actually, But here's how I see things now. I think they may 275 00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:06,240 or may not come to a deal. If they do come to a deal, 276 00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:12,279 they've got to get They've got to get it through both the House and 277 00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:21,839 the Senate. My prediction at this moment is this, It's not that I 278 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,000 think will default. I think they may very well get a deal. I 279 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:29,880 don't think they can get something that will pass both houses, and I do 280 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:36,160 think that next week Biden will announce because it will be down to the wire 281 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,119 because even if they even you know, even if they get to a deal, 282 00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:42,440 before any votes even take place, they have to write their legislation, 283 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,839 which apparently isn't that hard. You write the legislation in this case according to 284 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,160 the deal that you made. And then there's the seventy two seventy two hour 285 00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:59,920 rule that McCarthey said he will not budge on that for seventy two hours, 286 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,519 the legislation has to be available for everyone in the House of Representatives to read 287 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:11,079 it before voting, to read and analyze and so forth. And then they 288 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,480 have to get it through both houses. So you have to have a Republican 289 00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:23,839 controlled House and a democratically controlled Senate all willing to vote on this. I'm 290 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,400 worried that you've got people on both sides who are not going to be happy 291 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:34,039 with some of the compromises made. You've got House Republicans who would some of 292 00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:37,440 them, I mean the really crazy ones who would rather just default, But 293 00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:42,079 you also have some who want deep, deep, draconian cuts or they won't 294 00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:45,920 vote for this, so that might be tricky. And then in the Senate 295 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,920 you've got Democrats who apparently are furious with Biden. This is where it gets 296 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,680 complicated. They feel like Biden is caving and on too many things from what 297 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,079 they're hearing, what they're being told apparently, so they're getting frustrated and they 298 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,119 might end up noting for something that they think Biden compromised on too much. 299 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,640 So I think what ends up happening is this isn't going to work, and 300 00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:11,480 for the first time in American history, the President is going to have to 301 00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:15,480 invoke the fourteenth Amendment, and in doing so, then we're really an uncharted 302 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:21,680 territory. It may all work out, it may all work out. I'm 303 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:27,240 not optimistic that a deal is going to get done in time and legislation passed 304 00:23:27,319 --> 00:23:37,279 in time to avert default. I am optimistic there are enough people now legal 305 00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:45,759 scholars, constitutional scholars like Lawrence Tribe, for example, who seem pretty sure 306 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,960 that the fourteenth Amendment will work and that it will hold up in court. 307 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,519 So that's where I think it's going to end up. That's my prediction. 308 00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:56,480 I hope I'm wrong, and I hope I get a deal. Now some 309 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:02,359 people, there are some particularly on the left, who say it would actually 310 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,119 be better if Biden doesn't give in on anything and just go ahead and invoke 311 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,359 the fourteenth Amendment. But those tend to be the people who are sure that 312 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:14,640 it's going to work. I'm worried about a constitutional crisis, which is what 313 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,599 happens when you have two different parts of the Constitution that are interpreted in ways 314 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,799 that put them as sort of diametrically opposed in terms of what they mean and 315 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,960 who can do what and who has the authority to do what? I should 316 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,880 say. You know, the Constitution says that, you know, the Congress 317 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,119 controls the wallet of the country, effectively the purse strings the treasury in terms 318 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,720 of spending money. But the Fourteenth Amendment provision is at four I think, 319 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:49,759 says that our debt shall not be questioned, which many interpret to mean that 320 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000 the president does have you know, you have to pay the country's bills. 321 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,519 The president does have the authority to use the fourteenth Amendment to avert a default. 322 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:02,319 And my big worry. It isn't even so much about whether or not 323 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,839 it holds up in court, because I can see that going either way. 324 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:11,759 My my worry with the fourteenth Amendment is that Janet Yelling keeps saying that it's 325 00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:19,200 not an option. So I'm worried. I'm worried Biden. Biden goes ahead 326 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,000 and takes that option and invokes the fourteenth Amendment, and then Janet Yellen, 327 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:30,559 Treasury Secretary, says, no, what are you doing. We can't do 328 00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:33,839 this. I told you we can't do this, and then it just doesn't 329 00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:37,319 happen, and then and then we end up defaulting. I don't know. 330 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,079 Again, We're we're very much an uncharted territory. So, in trying to 331 00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:45,440 be an optimist, I say, I don't think there's going to be a 332 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,039 deal in time. I think we've reached a point in American politics where our 333 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:53,400 politics is so broken and so polarized that I don't think they're going to even 334 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240 if they come up with a deal, I don't think they're going to come 335 00:25:56,279 --> 00:26:00,079 up with something that enough people can agree on in both the House and the 336 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,480 Senate to get it through. That's so I'm pessimistic about that part. But 337 00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:07,400 I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about the use of the fourteenth Amendment. And 338 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,480 if the fourteenth Amendment is used and it holds up and it works, then 339 00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:15,440 great, that's the end of the debt limit and we don't ever have to 340 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:26,720 do this again and life goes on as it should. But so that's because 341 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,640 I've no doubt that White House lawyers right now are trying to figure out and 342 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,039 trying to map that out exactly what that's going to look like if that option 343 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,240 needs to be used. The other thing that I would say, though, 344 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,480 is again, and I've said this many times on the show, and I'm 345 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,759 gonna try to be brief because i want to get to Eric's film review. 346 00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,440 I don't want to run behind. But I've been saying all week, you 347 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,359 know, or for weeks now, actually more than just this week. I've 348 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,119 been saying, in principle, Biden's original stated position was correct in principle that 349 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,079 there should be a clean debt limit raise, and you deal with the budget 350 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,920 when it's time to vote on a budget and in appropriations, that's where you 351 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,839 deal with it. You should not tie that to the debt limit. Trump 352 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,279 was right on that too, when he was president. He's done a one 353 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,559 eighty. Now now Trump's pro default apparently, which is insane, But he 354 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,319 used to be on the correct side of that issue. And I think what 355 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,960 Biden said was correct in principle, but in practice it just doesn't work. 356 00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:30,240 And I hope that I hope this doesn't get held up if they find if 357 00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:33,759 they come to a deal and they get the legislation written up and it passes 358 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,720 the House, I hope it doesn't then get stuck in the Senate because you 359 00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:41,400 have too many Democrats who are mad about Biden caving on too many things and 360 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,599 caving in on too many things, because that's how they're going to look at 361 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,400 it. And the Democrats who look at it that way are the same ones 362 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,920 who are right now saying, just invoke the fourteenth Amendment, you have the 363 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,880 authority. It will work. I'm worried that those Democrats are so sure that 364 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,119 they're right, because I don't know if they're right. It hasn't been tested, 365 00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:04,079 it's never been tested. But I'm worried that those Democrats are so certain 366 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,279 that it's that it will work, that they're going to vote against this bill. 367 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,599 They're going to be the ones ultimately torpedo in it because they think Biden 368 00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:15,720 gave away too much, and to them and to President Biden, I would 369 00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:19,160 say this, I would say this, I have an analogy for you. 370 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,160 I understand some of those cuts are a bitter pill to swallow that the Republicans 371 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,480 want, and I understand that even some conservative minded economists have said that the 372 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,640 original House bill that the Republicans passed to raise the debt ceiling, those cuts 373 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,799 were so deep and so drastic and so draconian. Even some conservative minded economists 374 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,279 have said, well, that's too much. You're actually going to damage the 375 00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:44,759 economy if you do this. This is austerity on steroids. Come on, 376 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,640 now, we all know, of course, when negotiating, you start with 377 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,880 a lot more than you think you're actually going to get, and you work 378 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:56,079 toward a compromise. Right, we all understand that. But what I hope 379 00:28:56,119 --> 00:29:00,720 these Democrats understand is the Republicans hold all the cards. Take the fourteenth Amendment 380 00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:03,720 off the table for a minute. Pretend there is no fourteenth Amendment, and 381 00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:07,079 so you've got two options. You either get something past or you default, 382 00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,119 and that's it. There's no other options. Right, Republicans hold all the 383 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:18,279 cards because they're in a nose. It's a no lose proposition for Republicans in 384 00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:21,720 the House. If they get some of what they want, they can crow 385 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:25,240 about that they lowered spending and that's going to look great in all of their 386 00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:30,039 campaign ads and whatnot. If they don't get what they want and we default, 387 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:36,720 that's also going to be good for Republicans because in the United States of 388 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,480 America, while the economy is very complicated, people don't like to think of 389 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,960 the economy as complicated, and they just blame whoever the president is at the 390 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,519 time that anything goes wrong economically, or they credit whoever the president is if 391 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:55,319 the economy's going well, depending on their own ideology. Of course, if 392 00:29:55,319 --> 00:30:00,759 the economy is going well but you but you don't like the guy in office, 393 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:03,640 then you don't say anything. And the inverse is also true. But 394 00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:10,200 people a perfect example, nineteen ninety two, George H. W. Bush 395 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,279 sent our troops into kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, ended up with a 396 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,160 ninety percent approval rating because that operation was so successful, ninety percent, the 397 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:23,279 highest ever recorded approval rating in history for any president of the United States hasn't 398 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:29,759 been beaten since everybody thought he's unbeatable, he'll easily win a second term. 399 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,400 Next thing, you know, economy falls off a cliff, we go into 400 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:40,160 a pretty bad recession, and Bill Clinton is being elected president, beating the 401 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,640 guy who everyone thought was unbeatable because of the First Gulf War, because of 402 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,720 how well it went so and there are a lot of arguments that could be 403 00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:52,440 made that, you know, what happened to the economy had nothing to do 404 00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:56,720 with the policies of the George H. W. Bush administration, but the 405 00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:02,119 buck stopped with him, so he ended up for it. So Republicans know 406 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,240 the country because they liked everybody thinks about the economy in such a partisan, 407 00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:12,279 ideological and hyper simplified way. You know, swing voters will say, you 408 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:17,480 know, I mean, Republicans will blame Biden. Democrats in large measure will 409 00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:23,160 not, but swing voters will. And that's it. If if we go 410 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,920 into default and we destroy the global economy, it will be terrible, but 411 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,599 they know at least they'll get the White House back in twenty four. That's 412 00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:36,799 one way Trump is guaranteed a victory in twenty four is if the economy crashes 413 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,279 under Biden because of a default. So Republicans hold all the cards. If 414 00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,759 you were in a car going at a very fast speed and you're driving along 415 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,319 and you're coming toward a cliff, and all of a sudden you realize you 416 00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:52,799 don't have control of the car anymore because the brakes go out. As you're 417 00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:56,880 going toward that cliff, you see a tree. You see a large tree. 418 00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:00,440 You've got two choice, says, you have no breaks and you're going 419 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,559 at a fast rate of speed and it's too late to turn around. You 420 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,279 either go over that cliff or you drive into that big tree that you know 421 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,599 is going to stop you, but you're going at a very high rate of 422 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,920 speed. Driving into that tree might kill you. You better hope that that 423 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,960 airbag deploys. If the airbag deploys, you'd probably be okay. Otherwise you're 424 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,319 screwed. But if you go over the cliff, you're definitely dead. What 425 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:31,720 I would say to Democrats is this, understand you're either going to go over 426 00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:36,240 that cliff or you're going to drive into that tree. Aim for the tree. 427 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,240 It sucks, I know, I get it. Aim for the tree. 428 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,240 These are your choices because the other side doesn't care. Ultimately, they're 429 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:51,160 gonna win either way, aim for the tree if that's all you can do. 430 00:32:54,680 --> 00:33:00,240 And on that happy note, Jenny said in the chat, him, 431 00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:04,400 and where is Biden headed to Delaware to enjoy the holiday? His ass isn't 432 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,759 worried about not having the money for rent food? Friggin meds Um No, 433 00:33:09,039 --> 00:33:13,400 I think he is worried because he knows he's going to get blamed. Uh 434 00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:16,960 if if we go into default, um, I will say, I mean 435 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,160 it's it's Uh. He can be back in Washington. You know that the 436 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,440 negotiating Biden isn't negotiating. The negotiators are negotiating. You know, Kevin McCarthy 437 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:30,720 isn't negotiating. The negotiators are negotiating. Um. I don't think the optics 438 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,839 of it are good though, to your point, Jenny, I don't think 439 00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:35,720 the optics of it are good. I think he should just stay in Washington, 440 00:33:35,799 --> 00:33:37,720 but he won't be going far. I mean he can be from he 441 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:40,839 can go from Camp David back to the White House. And like I said 442 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,240 minutes, um, it's a it's a it's a short trip, but the 443 00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:49,880 optics are bad. He should stay home just like Uh, by home, 444 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,440 I mean the White House. I don't mean Delaware. Uh and uh. 445 00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:58,759 I don't think the House should have adjourned for the weekend either that that also 446 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:07,199 looks bad anyway, exciting times, I don't think. I let me just 447 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,760 leave the subject this way for now. I am optimistic that it's going to 448 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,480 be okay because I do think the fourteenth Amendment will work just based on everything 449 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:20,719 that I've read, or at least it'll work temporarily, and while the fourteenth 450 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,000 Amendment is in place, before it gets knocked down in court, hopefully then 451 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:30,639 some sort of a deal is made to raise the debt ceiling and in the 452 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:35,480 interim before the fourteenth Amendment gets struck down. So I think it'll be okay 453 00:34:35,519 --> 00:34:37,519 that way. But I think that's that's my prediction for how this goes. 454 00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,400 There, you go, all right, let's get to it. This is 455 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,480 a very popular segment on the show. This is Eric's Eric Pilcher's classic film 456 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:52,320 review again. This week he has chosen the film Saving Private Ryan for a 457 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,519 Memorial Day as we go into Memorial Day weekend, and then when we come 458 00:34:54,559 --> 00:35:00,400 back in the second hour, we're gonna have Joe Williams from an Greg Joe 459 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,480 and the Holy Socks joining us. A skyping in all the way from Texas, 460 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,320 and I really love love the music that they're doing, so I look 461 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,199 forward to talking to him all right here It is Eric Pilcher's classic film review 462 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:15,719 of Saving Private Ryan by employee no doubt. By now you have received a 463 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,599 pullet from me and missus Jenson Fun. Time to get yourself. No words 464 00:35:17,599 --> 00:35:21,400 of mine can ever relief the creut that you are thinking about the post men. 465 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,840 He was a fine soldier and he believed very strongly. But it's no 466 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,360 secret anymore that we were involved in one of the most important operations. That 467 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,480 this whole hell was the one I held us all together. It was always 468 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,639 the first polite period. I was clearing near a road over four dollars. 469 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:39,239 Your husband served with a combat and whose dangerous duty is to place itself between 470 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:45,760 chaddish boats, the loss of Queen and others like him. Ms. I 471 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,920 don't understand your desire, but very much talk about no God in the ten 472 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,760 Colonel, I got some think you should know about. Yes, these two 473 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:47,760 men that I want to do this one Oma Beach Sean Ryan. This man 474 00:36:47,800 --> 00:37:00,199 at Utah, Peter Ryan. This man was killed last week in New Guinea. 475 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,760 Daniel right, the three ment of brothers. Sarah, I've just learned 476 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:12,639 that this afternoon their mother's going to be getting all three telegrams. That's not 477 00:37:12,679 --> 00:37:15,320 all. There's a fourth brother, the youngest. He parachuted in with one 478 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,480 hundred and first airborn night before the invasion. He's somewhere in Normandy. We 479 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:24,239 don't know where. Is he alive? We don't know Come with mail, 480 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,800 damn it. All four of them were in the same company in the twenty 481 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,480 ninth division, but we split them up after the Sullivan brothers died. On 482 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,000 the journal contact with the fourth son, James, I'm sorry. He was 483 00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:10,599 dropped about fifteen miles inland near Newville, but that's still deep behind your and 484 00:39:10,639 --> 00:39:14,360 hell and act. There is no way you can know where in the hell 485 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,239 he was dropped. General first reports at ice, people at Shape said one 486 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,559 hundred and first scattered all to hell and gone. There's misdrops all over Normandy. 487 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,840 Assuming Private Ryan even survived the jump, he could be anywhere. In 488 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,840 fact, he's probably Kia and frankly, Sir we go sending some sort of 489 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,480 rescue mission flat heading throughout swarms of German reinforcements all along our access in advance 490 00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:58,039 that they're going to be Kia two. That heart wrenching tragic scene you just 491 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:06,000 heard was and is a reality of war. Mothers and fathers lose sons. 492 00:40:06,039 --> 00:40:12,920 Sons and daughters lose fathers in families lose loved ones, all to defend our 493 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,199 freedoms that we should hold in the highest regard. This week's film encapsulates that 494 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:24,800 tragedy in what seven men endured to save just one so a family would have 495 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:32,440 one remaining son. Released in nineteen ninety eight, directed by film maestro Steven 496 00:40:32,519 --> 00:40:38,760 Spielberg, Saving Private Ryan tells the tale of Captain John Miller played by Tom 497 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:44,920 Hanks, a man tasked with leading the aforementioned six men on a mission during 498 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:51,159 World War Two to retrieve Private James Ryan played by Matt Damon from behind enemy 499 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,599 lines so he may be returned home following the death of his three brothers in 500 00:40:55,639 --> 00:41:00,440 the same war. Our next two clips show what Captain Miller is up against. 501 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,079 After getting their orders, Miller's group is against the mission. They do 502 00:41:06,159 --> 00:41:10,679 not understand what is so important about risking their lives for one soldier. That 503 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:16,639 is, when Captain Miller explains how gripes work in the military and then Captain 504 00:41:16,679 --> 00:41:22,880 Miller explains why this mission is important. It is because of the detachment he 505 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:28,519 feels from the person he was at home, and in order to get rid 506 00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:32,920 of that detachment, he has to return home to his family. Do you 507 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,519 want to explain the methodist to me? I mean, where's the sense of 508 00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:39,719 risking the lives of the aid of us to save one guy? Anybody want 509 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,719 to answer that? Right? So he's about the flow fast the mother? 510 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,360 Hey, doc, I got a mother, all right? I mean you 511 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,599 got a mother's side, He's got a mother. I bet even the Captain's 512 00:41:50,599 --> 00:41:53,559 got a mother. Well maybe not the captain, but the rest of us 513 00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:57,280 got mothers. There's not the reason why there's but to do and die? 514 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,079 No, no, because that's supposed to in corporate hun We're ill supposed to 515 00:42:01,159 --> 00:42:05,239 die, is at it? I'm first talking about our duty as soldiers, 516 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,920 Yes, sir, we don't have orders or we have to following. That 517 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:12,000 supersedes everything, including your mother's yes, sir, thanks sir. Even if 518 00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:15,800 you think the missions foodbu sir, Especially if the thinking missions foodbar? What's 519 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:22,639 foodbull? Oh it's German? Yeah, never heard of that, sir. 520 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:27,679 I have an opinion on this matter by all meaning shared with a squad. 521 00:42:28,559 --> 00:42:30,800 Well from my way, thank you, sir. This entire mission is a 522 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:37,360 serious misallocation of valuable military resources. I go on, Well, it seems 523 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:38,400 to me, sir, the guy gave me a special gift, made me 524 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,639 find instrument of warfare. Riv and pay attention. Now, this is the 525 00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:46,000 way to gride. Continue Jackson's Well, what I mean by that, serge? 526 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,400 He used to put me in the serious sniper rifle anywhere up to and 527 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,320 including one mile Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, Sir, backing 528 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,920 backs, Fella's war is over. Amen, that's brilliant, bumpkin. It's 529 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,599 the captain. What about you? And you don't grip at all? I 530 00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:04,559 don't grab to you arriving. I'm a captain, he's a chain of command. 531 00:43:04,599 --> 00:43:06,960 The gripes go up, not down, always up. You grab to 532 00:43:07,039 --> 00:43:09,400 me, I grabed him my superior officer, or so on, so on, 533 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,320 so on. I don't grip to you. I don't grap in front 534 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,119 of you. You should know that it arrangers. I'm sorry, sir, 535 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,039 but let's say you are on a captain, or maybe I was a major. 536 00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:22,360 What would you say that? Well, in that case, I say, 537 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,519 this is an excellent mission, sir, with an extremely valuable objective, 538 00:43:24,599 --> 00:43:30,280 Sir, worthy of my best efforts, sir. And moreover, I feel 539 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,000 heartfelt sorrow for the mother of Private James Ryan, and I'm willing to lay 540 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,400 down my life and the lives of my men, especially you arriving to these 541 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:45,519 are suffering. He's good. I love them. And now Captain Miller gets 542 00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:50,119 personal. Wait to pull on me up to right now? What's it up 543 00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:53,719 to? Wait? Wait? Is it to three hundred dollars? I'm a 544 00:43:53,760 --> 00:44:01,760 school teacher. I teach English composition this little town called Adlete, Pennsylvania. 545 00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:09,199 Last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School as a coach 546 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:15,880 to the baseball team in springtime down back home, and I tell people what 547 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:20,559 I do for a living. They think, well, now that figures. 548 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:30,960 But over here it's a big, big mystery. So I guess I've changed. 549 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:38,159 So sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even going 550 00:44:38,199 --> 00:44:44,400 to recognize me whenever it is I get back to her, and how I'll 551 00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:52,840 ever be able to to tell her about days like today? Uh? Ryan, 552 00:44:54,559 --> 00:44:59,719 I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care and man means nothing 553 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,440 to me. It's just a name. But you know, if going to 554 00:45:04,519 --> 00:45:07,360 room now and finding him so he can go homes that earns me the right 555 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:14,840 to get back to my wife, woman, then that's my mission. I'm 556 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:23,119 gonna leave. I'm gonna go often fight the war, all right, all 557 00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:27,559 right, I want to stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. 558 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:31,719 And it's not that every man I kill the farther away from home. I 559 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:39,800 feel there are very many aspects that make soldiers that have served or currently serving 560 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:47,159 the epitome of heroes, and those that have made the ultimate sacrifice they supersede 561 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:53,039 hero status. One of those aspects is a sense of duty. We have 562 00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:58,039 heard this throughout our clips thus far. In our next one it is even 563 00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:02,679 more evident. Upon locating Private Ryan, Miller tries to get him to abandon 564 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:08,840 his post despite learning his brothers are dead. Despite the low success rate of 565 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:15,440 maintaining the post, he refuses to leave because his orders tell him he must 566 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:23,159 stay. This scene concludes with a powerful speech by Commander my Corvath that sets 567 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:30,400 the stage for the climactic final battle in this film, Your brothers were killed 568 00:46:30,400 --> 00:47:00,119 in combat, which which one all hullo. Yeah, I'm afraid Soil might 569 00:47:00,199 --> 00:47:01,800 want to take some time with us. There's some place you want to go. 570 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:15,519 And what's this all about? Ryan lost his brothers, which one all 571 00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:25,440 of them? M He came on the way out of here to tell me 572 00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:34,199 that you're you're going home. Our orders are going to bring you back, 573 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:44,760 bring me back, Corporal Henderson. Don't mean they can even be more shorthanded. 574 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,920 But orders, Your orders say any communication and when you're gonna be believed 575 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,840 up here, So there's no way to tell. I mean, we have 576 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,320 no idea what's happening in South time. I have my orders too, sir. 577 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,440 They don't include me abandoning my post. I understand that, but this 578 00:47:54,760 --> 00:48:00,840 changes things. I don't see that it does, sir. The chief of 579 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,559 staff for the United States Army, he says it does, sir. Our 580 00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:07,039 orders are to hold this bridge at all costs our planes in the eighty second 581 00:48:07,039 --> 00:48:09,039 of taking out different bridge across the murder at with the exception of two one 582 00:48:09,079 --> 00:48:12,639 of alone, and this one here we let the Germans take it where it 583 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,880 was our foothold and have to displace your rightful wants to stay. That's one 584 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:20,320 thing your party's over sure, I can't leave until at least reinforcements. You 585 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,360 got three minutes to gather your gear, sir? What about them? I 586 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:28,119 mean, there's barely hard to Two of our guys already died trying to find 587 00:48:28,119 --> 00:48:39,639 you. All right, Sorry, that's right? What were their names? 588 00:48:40,440 --> 00:49:00,280 Are? One? Wade and Andrean Composo? Wait and Composo doesn't make any 589 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:07,280 sense. It doesn't make any senser. Why why why do I deserve to 590 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:09,079 go? Why not any of these guys? They all fought just as hard 591 00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:17,639 as me? Is that what they're supposed to tell your mother when they send 592 00:49:17,639 --> 00:49:29,840 her another folded American flying Tell her that when you found me, I was 593 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:31,880 here, and I was with the only brothers that I have left, and 594 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:37,679 there's no way I was going to deserve them. I think she'll understand that 595 00:49:37,639 --> 00:49:55,639 there's no way I'm leaving this pitch. And now the commander's speech on why 596 00:49:57,039 --> 00:50:09,320 they must save private right and stay on the bridge, what he orders actually 597 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:15,760 here across some strange boundary here the world has taken a tury for this serial, 598 00:50:15,119 --> 00:50:21,199 clearly, but the question still stands, I don't know what do you 599 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:27,519 think? You don't want to know what I think? No, Mike, 600 00:50:27,599 --> 00:50:31,920 I do well. Part of me thanks the kids, right, what's he 601 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,360 done? Do deserve this? He wants to stay here, Fine, let's 602 00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:42,440 leave them and go home. Yeah, But another part of me thanks. 603 00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:46,320 What if, by some miracle we stay and actually make it out of here. 604 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:53,480 Someday we might look back on this and decide that saving Private Ryan was 605 00:50:53,519 --> 00:50:58,119 the one decent thing we were able to pull out of this hole. Got 606 00:50:58,159 --> 00:51:05,000 awful mess, That's what I was thinking, sir. Like you said, 607 00:51:05,079 --> 00:51:10,280 Kevin, we do that. We all earned the right to go home. 608 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:21,800 Brother. This film has been heralded since its release. Veterans of World War 609 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,679 Two have said it's the most realistic depiction of the battles that were fought. 610 00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:31,079 This includes the twenty five minute opening battle scene on the beaches of Normandy. 611 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:38,000 Spielberg, in making this film, sought consultation from known World War Two writer 612 00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:45,960 Stephen Ambrose, whose work was eventually adapted into the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. 613 00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:52,679 Its reception was also of note. It was the second highest grossing film 614 00:51:52,679 --> 00:51:57,400 of nineteen ninety eight, earning four hundred and eighty one point eight million dollars. 615 00:51:58,159 --> 00:52:02,239 It was the highest gross video rental of all time. It garnered five 616 00:52:02,519 --> 00:52:08,679 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Hanks, and Best 617 00:52:08,679 --> 00:52:15,280 Director for Spielberg. It won three, including Best Director. The fact that 618 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,199 it did not win Best Picture, Shakespeare in Love took home the award that 619 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:24,159 year is considered one of the greatest upsets in the history of the Academy Awards. 620 00:52:24,599 --> 00:52:29,639 This is not just a simple war movie, or even a great war 621 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:36,320 movie. It is one of the greatest films ever made of any genre bar 622 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:42,559 none. It's realism, performances in everlasting legacy make it a film that truly 623 00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:49,599 shows us what Memorial Day is for remembering those that made the greatest sacrifice for 624 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:55,760 every citizen of this great country. This film is the epitome of showing us 625 00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:01,840 that it must be seen by everyone at any time. I hope you join 626 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:07,079 me next week when we will look at the classic Jamestein performance Rebel without a 627 00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:15,559 Cause to close and honor those this weekend that made that ultimate sacrifice so we 628 00:53:15,679 --> 00:53:22,880 all may sleep comfortably in freedom and have the rights we cherish. I feel 629 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:27,960 it appropriate to share the words that truly speak on the sacrifice these brave men 630 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:34,280 and women made and continue to make spoken by then President Ronald Reagan in nineteen 631 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,880 eighty five for WMNH and Matt Connerton Unleashed. This has been a classic film 632 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:47,880 review with Eric Pilcher. Sometime back, I received in the name of our 633 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:52,880 country the bodies of four marines would died while on active duty. I said 634 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:58,960 then, but there is a special centers to the companies that different servicemen for 635 00:53:59,119 --> 00:54:06,119 We're never quite good enough to them. Not really, we can't be, 636 00:54:06,119 --> 00:54:10,159 because what they gave us is beyond our powers to repay. The soul in 637 00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:15,400 a service man dies. It's a tear in the fabric, a break in 638 00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:20,079 the hold. All we can do is remember it is, in a way 639 00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:23,039 an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in 640 00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:30,320 defense of us in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We 641 00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:34,639 see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as 642 00:54:34,679 --> 00:54:37,960 something like the founding fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them 643 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:43,000 were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives, the one 644 00:54:43,039 --> 00:54:46,719 they were living and the one they would have lived when they died. They 645 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:51,760 gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up 646 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:59,119 their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, 647 00:54:59,199 --> 00:55:02,000 for us. We hold them my depth. We can never repay what 648 00:55:02,199 --> 00:55:07,280 we can do. I remember them what they did and why they had to 649 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:55,599 be brave for Rush. I should stand dealing with the everyone's in. I 650 00:55:55,760 --> 00:56:15,639 should stand everyone's ela. It's a contata, a sweep. I can't even 651 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:47,559 be try try so. Then I want what I can't get. So I 652 00:56:47,760 --> 00:57:06,920 really like stream to the sting intil let's get heart dream. Can I try 653 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:50,199 fake, try to try so? The war can't so, and I tread 654 00:57:51,000 --> 00:58:45,800 faking, try to try so, then war I can't. What a great 655 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,679 track that is so far from Angry Joe and the Holy Socks. And we're 656 00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:52,760 gonna talk to Joe in just a moment. Actually we have him on skype 657 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:58,079 as we cross in the our number two you marrowed use of Matt Connerton unleashed 658 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,679 and Hi Joe near me? Yeah, yeah, can you hear me? 659 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,960 Yes? Yes, welcome you are all the way and where in Texas are 660 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:13,199 you? I'm in the little small town of Houston. Houston, I've heard 661 00:59:13,239 --> 00:59:15,679 of it. Now. Is it true, by the way, that there's 662 00:59:15,719 --> 00:59:22,280 no zoning in Houston, so you have like you might have a house right 663 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:27,199 next to a shopping mall and uh, and then there's nothing else around it, 664 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,760 Like the nearest gas station is ten miles away. Because things aren't zoned. 665 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:35,559 Everything is just kind of everywhere in Houston. Is that true? You 666 00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:38,599 may see the little pockets of that, but I don't think that's very very 667 00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:42,599 common. Okay, all right, I've just I've heard that about Houston, 668 00:59:42,639 --> 00:59:45,519 and I was like, oh, that's odd. All right, well, 669 00:59:45,639 --> 00:59:51,400 very good. Hey, crazy happens in Houston. What's that? A lot 670 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:54,880 of crazy stuff happens in Houston. Really Okay. I can't speak for most 671 00:59:54,880 --> 01:00:00,079 of it, no, I understand. Yeah, so we just heard so 672 01:00:00,119 --> 01:00:04,480 far. And I played at the top of the show today too, I 673 01:00:04,599 --> 01:00:07,239 played, uh, Molly tried to Ruin My Life a great track, and 674 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:12,480 uh, I really love everything that you sent us, Joe, and you've 675 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,119 got a great sound. It's very accessible, very uh, you know, 676 01:00:15,639 --> 01:00:21,800 really catchy stuff. Um. I really love what you're doing. And um, 677 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,119 but of course it's not just you. You're you're actually a duo, 678 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:30,760 right, Uh, Angry Joe and the Holy Socks. Yeah, the brains 679 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:35,639 of the operation Charlie Wan she couldn't be here today. I'm having to do 680 01:00:35,719 --> 01:00:40,559 this solo. But yeah, we're very much a team. You know. 681 01:00:40,719 --> 01:00:45,559 It's me and Charlie doing all the right And now when you play live, 682 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,719 is it because I noticed one of the things that she does is she plays 683 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,400 drums. So obviously, and I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times, 684 01:00:52,599 --> 01:00:54,519 so I don't mean to be cliche, but you know, there's there's the 685 01:00:54,800 --> 01:01:00,480 obvious white stripes, uh comparison. Yeah, I mean, is that what 686 01:01:00,519 --> 01:01:02,519 it's like live? Are you there with the guitar, she's there on the 687 01:01:02,599 --> 01:01:07,960 drums. Um. It depends on the setting. Yeah. Sometimes, well 688 01:01:08,519 --> 01:01:14,039 we'll get other musicians that are good friends that we know to fill in the 689 01:01:15,079 --> 01:01:19,199 whatever. You know. Sometimes Charlie will get up on the viola or the 690 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:23,559 violin and uh yeah, we'll just play acoustic that way as well. Sometimes 691 01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:28,320 so oh okay, yeah, well we can try to cover all the bases. 692 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,440 Yeah. Yeah, Now in Houston, you know, because obviously in 693 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:37,400 Texas people kind of have, um, you know, the stereotypical idea that 694 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,800 it's you know, a lot of country music, and obviously there is a 695 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:43,199 lot of country There are no doubt, but we've had some some really good 696 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,119 rock bands on the show. Um, and uh, what you're doing is 697 01:01:46,199 --> 01:01:50,639 very I mean, is there a lot of music around in that area that 698 01:01:50,719 --> 01:01:53,239 sounds like what you're doing because it's very you know, it's rock, but 699 01:01:53,320 --> 01:02:00,039 again it's very very catchy, very very radio friendly. Like I said that, 700 01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:04,880 that first song that the Molly tried to ruin My Life is so the 701 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,480 first time I listened to it, I swear I had it just kind of 702 01:02:07,519 --> 01:02:10,800 stuck in my head for a couple of hours. Is there other music in 703 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,480 that area or there are other artists in that area that sound like what you're 704 01:02:14,519 --> 01:02:19,079 doing, or do you kind of stand out? There may be a few. 705 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:23,199 Um, I usually reach out to my buddy in Austin if I want 706 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:30,679 someone similarly with us. Yeah, we would get like my friend Jordan Barney 707 01:02:30,679 --> 01:02:35,920 and see who he's playing with these days. And but there there's a couple 708 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,800 of people I would reach out to in Houston for sure, for like a 709 01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:43,800 similar lineup show. You know, there's a couple out there I think that 710 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,800 are kind of in the vein of what we're doing. Okay, okay, 711 01:02:49,199 --> 01:02:52,800 Um, can you tell me a little bit about influences because I there's a 712 01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:57,239 certain name, especially on that song. So far, there's a certain band 713 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,039 that comes to mind when I listen to that song, but I don't want 714 01:03:00,039 --> 01:03:05,679 to say who it is because I'm curious if you talk about influences, if 715 01:03:05,679 --> 01:03:07,639 it'll if if the name will come up, and then I'll tell you the 716 01:03:07,719 --> 01:03:10,360 name that I was thinking about. Can you tell me about some of your 717 01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:15,840 influences and some of Charlie's influences too. Not to speak for her, but 718 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:20,199 you know, I'm sure you could speak to that. Oh yeah, well, 719 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:24,119 um, most of the crunk phase for Charlie, you know, Little 720 01:03:24,199 --> 01:03:32,119 John and but no, seriously, she's classically trained musician. You know, 721 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:37,079 plays every every instrument, been playing since she could walk. So um, 722 01:03:37,239 --> 01:03:42,159 yeah, you know she's she's very well versed. Um. I was kind 723 01:03:42,159 --> 01:03:47,480 of more of a wild person listening to Stone Temple Pilots and and partying and 724 01:03:47,679 --> 01:03:52,159 uh you know, but I you know, I've been listening to a lot 725 01:03:52,199 --> 01:03:58,679 of George Harrison and Jeff Lynne lately. Yeah, you know, I love 726 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:05,199 the Beatles and uh yeah, you know, just pretty much anything that's the 727 01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:10,159 Counting Crows. I'll find myself listening to them quite a bit. Yeah, 728 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,639 yeah, I can hear some of that. I was actually thinking the Smith 729 01:04:14,719 --> 01:04:17,519 Reens. I don't know if you're a Smith Reens fan. Oh yeah, 730 01:04:17,599 --> 01:04:21,760 yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah yeah yeah so far specifically, really 731 01:04:23,159 --> 01:04:28,000 I think has a cool smith Reens vibe. But um, yeah, So 732 01:04:28,159 --> 01:04:30,320 now do you play out a lot? Do you and Charlie play a lot 733 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:36,559 of shows? Um? Since the whole COVID deal. No, but we're 734 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:42,519 we're starting to get geared up to get back out there. We're we're about 735 01:04:42,559 --> 01:04:49,119 halfway through with our second full length Elpe and uh yeah, we're looking We've 736 01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:54,159 got some things in mind. We're gonna start hitting some stages. Excellent, 737 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,159 excellent. Um. By the way, when you so when you record who 738 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,519 who was on the on the studio tracks, is it just the two of 739 01:05:00,559 --> 01:05:05,920 you or do you have other musicians who participate? We do it all. 740 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:11,800 That's what I thought. We split, try and split the duties in half. 741 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:17,599 Yeah, you know, Charlie does all the drumming and then sometimes she'll 742 01:05:17,599 --> 01:05:21,440 do the basslines, sometimes I will. I'll do most of the guitar work, 743 01:05:21,519 --> 01:05:28,800 and we'll share singing duties as well. So yeah, and it's just 744 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:36,920 it's just awesome working with her because we're kind of from two different styles, 745 01:05:38,039 --> 01:05:42,519 but when we get together, it just works out and we just love you 746 01:05:42,559 --> 01:05:45,440 know, writing together at the end of the day. So yeah, it's 747 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,559 a you know, favorite thing. Well that's pretty cool too that you can 748 01:05:49,559 --> 01:05:54,039 do something that you know, the songs they sound like a full band, 749 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,960 but to be able to go into the studio and be able to cover everything 750 01:05:58,599 --> 01:06:00,039 with just the two of you, I mean, that's that's kind of a 751 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,239 uh seems like a great way, a very convenient and sort of streamlined way 752 01:06:05,239 --> 01:06:10,039 to record, right because when you when you have an actual full band for 753 01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:13,079 four people or five people or whatever, even three people, you know, 754 01:06:13,159 --> 01:06:16,039 you've got a you know, it's just more too uh schedules to work around 755 01:06:16,039 --> 01:06:19,119 and everything all that goes into it. So so that's great that you're able 756 01:06:19,159 --> 01:06:23,320 to do it all just the two of you and and play multiple instruments and 757 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:27,519 the whole deal. Um, that's uh, that's awesome. Um do you 758 01:06:27,559 --> 01:06:30,760 go to uh is there a studio in the area that you go to or 759 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,320 do you do is that is that all d I Y? Or what's your 760 01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:39,280 recording process? Like? Um, well, we started out working with the 761 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:43,920 producer named Justin Rose up in Buffalo, New York. Oh. Um, 762 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:49,000 and uh, he did the first self titled EP, and he did Kicking 763 01:06:49,079 --> 01:06:55,880 Rocks the the LP. But this most recent one, we've been going to 764 01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:01,719 Austin, Texas to a studio called hen House, and we've had a great 765 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:06,239 music musician and friend of mine, Jordan Barney, has been producing it. 766 01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:11,280 So okay, oh, very good, very good. Um. So I 767 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:14,000 have to ask you an obvious question. Where does the name Angry Joe come 768 01:07:14,039 --> 01:07:15,920 from? I gotta tell you, you don't seem like an angry guy, 769 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:21,079 but I don't know what. I don't know what lurks beneath where? So 770 01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:26,760 where does that? Where does that come from? I could see how one 771 01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,039 could assume from some of the lyrics or main themes of the songs that it 772 01:07:31,079 --> 01:07:34,519 could be that way. Yeah, but no, I'm trying to be as 773 01:07:34,559 --> 01:07:41,559 laid back as possible. Yeah, especially like Charlie's probably the nicest person anyone's 774 01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:46,679 ever met. Yeah I'm not just saying that, but actually just a friend 775 01:07:46,719 --> 01:07:50,800 of mine UM told me, if you ever start your own band, you 776 01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,800 should call it Angry Joe and the Holy Socks Is I think I was like 777 01:07:56,280 --> 01:08:00,800 ranting at her for some reason coming across. She was like, you know 778 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,599 what, and and she's kind of a my friend, Heather, she's a 779 01:08:03,679 --> 01:08:09,199 little out there. So but I remember that I said Angry Joe and the 780 01:08:09,239 --> 01:08:14,320 Holy Socks. Huh, And so I did that I use that name. 781 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:20,039 Yeah, No, that's that's uh, that's cool. Um and uh yeah, 782 01:08:20,119 --> 01:08:25,359 And and Charlie liked it right away. Yeah, you know, most 783 01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:29,880 people seem to like the name. I get a lot of positive feedback on 784 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,000 it. So yeah, I thought it was a little ridiculous starting out, 785 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:39,840 especially how holy is spelt like as it would be like like your socks are 786 01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:44,199 biblical or something like that, right right, Well, you know what's cool 787 01:08:44,239 --> 01:08:47,359 too, is obviously and unfortunately not everyone realizes this and then they end up 788 01:08:47,359 --> 01:08:50,600 regretting it. The ones who don't realize this is that it's always really good, 789 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:54,800 a good idea to pick a name that you're reasonably sure nobody else is 790 01:08:54,840 --> 01:09:00,119 going to have, because you know, there's there's many a horror story have 791 01:09:00,199 --> 01:09:03,039 somebody not you know, just even just going on Spotify. You know, 792 01:09:03,079 --> 01:09:05,640 they have an idea for a name, and they don't even go on Spotify 793 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,680 and do a basic search and then they and then they're shocked when uh, 794 01:09:10,039 --> 01:09:14,439 you know, there's ten other bands with that same name. So no, 795 01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:19,000 so I think, uh, I think that makes sense stones man. Yeah 796 01:09:19,079 --> 01:09:23,560 yeah, I mean all the you know, all the obvious names have already 797 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,399 been you know, no matter how cool they may be, they've already already 798 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,960 been taken. So no, I think it's a good name and it you 799 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,880 know, it sticks with you. It's uh, it's definitely uh, definitely 800 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,439 memorable. Now, do you have any kind of any so you said you're 801 01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:40,840 you're in the middle now of recording your your next stuff full length. Yeah, 802 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,960 we're we're halfway done, and we're actually about to release the first single 803 01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:49,840 here about a week from probably a week from today. Oh really yeah, 804 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:56,800 okay, Yeah, I got the artwork back and for the album cover and 805 01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:02,920 the first round of songs or polishing up, and we're ready to do it 806 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:08,399 all over again and get some more music out there, because it's been a 807 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:15,319 little over a year since we released Kicking Rocks, and you know, I 808 01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,439 gotta keep pumping the music out. You know, the four tracks that you 809 01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:24,479 sent us, are those all from Kicking Rocks? Um? One of them 810 01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:30,079 was off of the LP or though the ep um left over? Oh gotcha? 811 01:10:30,199 --> 01:10:31,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, um yeah, I was gonna play that 812 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:35,000 one at the end of the segment. Actually, I really I like that 813 01:10:35,039 --> 01:10:39,359 track a lot. Um and uh yeah hopefully yeah, when you've got the 814 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,479 when you've got the new single ready, I hope you'll I hope you'll email 815 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,520 that to us and we'll definitely, uh play it. We'll do it. 816 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,199 We'll do a world radio premiere for you here on the show. So I 817 01:10:47,199 --> 01:10:50,560 really like what you're doing. You've got a really cool sound. And um, 818 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,199 is the uh the new album? Is that going to be kind of 819 01:10:54,199 --> 01:11:00,199 in the same vein of what you're doing or any any surprises? Um, 820 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,359 you know it. It might be a little heavier, yeah in the previous 821 01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:11,760 one, is I say heavier?

Uh, they're about they're 990 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:45,960 about six issues I want to talk about with the Santis. Now I'm just 991 01:27:46,039 --> 01:27:51,000 kidding. Um, so here here's the thing though, I thought we could 992 01:27:51,039 --> 01:27:56,479 do a quick on a positive note, you know. And again before I 993 01:27:56,640 --> 01:28:00,720 even say that, I want to wish everybody is sacred. Memorial Day. 994 01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,520 That was a great presentation by Eric. One of my favorite movies. I 995 01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,840 don't think you've seen it, man, have you seen that one? I've 996 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:13,880 never actually seen Saving Private Ryan believe it? Yeah? No, Oh, 997 01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,600 that's good. Yeah, I know it's a long movie, but it's it's 998 01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:20,119 I think it's Tom Hanks's best performance. But you know, I mean he's 999 01:28:20,119 --> 01:28:24,399 been in a lot of good movie. Oh yeah, he's a solid actor. 1000 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:28,560 You know, he's he's got the uh the talent. Yeah, he 1001 01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:34,319 said, yeah that that Oh my god, that staving private Ryan. I 1002 01:28:34,359 --> 01:28:39,640 think your grandfather, of course, who made the Normandy landing in hand to 1003 01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:43,439 hand combat and everything and survived. You know. But yeah, spoken to 1004 01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:48,520 all that. But kudos to Eric and all your listeners worldwide who support Eric 1005 01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:53,600 and his presentations. I thought what we'd do is just do a quick true 1006 01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:57,720 false. What do you think She's sure, Yeah, let's do it. 1007 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,520 It's music and it has to music, and h I'm sure Gary will get 1008 01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:03,840 a kick out and I don't want to name everybody will get a kick out 1009 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:12,000 of a run. But it has to do with Pat Boone and what's that 1010 01:29:12,079 --> 01:29:16,119 guy's name, Matt. Let's see Bill Haley and the comments Rookie no Elvis 1011 01:29:16,159 --> 01:29:18,960 Presley. Okay, so here we go number you know, we'll go through 1012 01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,279 the three and then we'll go back to the works. These are not these 1013 01:29:23,279 --> 01:29:27,840 are not the most difficult, but we'll see what happens. Okay, Number 1014 01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:32,960 one true or false by nineteen fifty nine. Both of these wonderful art my 1015 01:29:33,079 --> 01:29:39,479 judgment, I love them. Both wonderful artists had all kinds broke all records 1016 01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:43,199 for pop kiss. Before then it was Frank Sinatra and Tuny Venett. But 1017 01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:47,600 you know they had six to eight nine maybe, but they broke all records 1018 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:53,239 and they almost tied. It was forty one to forty, forty one to 1019 01:29:53,359 --> 01:29:58,439 forty guys, and Elvis had the forty one, just one more than Pat 1020 01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:04,279 Boone, true falls number one. Number two. Pat Boon who has always 1021 01:30:04,319 --> 01:30:10,680 been someone who has faith, and he's in a church now in California called 1022 01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,960 the Church on the Way, And I know, you know, I'm a 1023 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:15,760 Catholic guy, but I love my Protestant brothers. They have a good reputation. 1024 01:30:16,279 --> 01:30:20,159 Pat Boon still has a show a show on every Saturday night. So 1025 01:30:20,199 --> 01:30:28,319 anyway, Um, but Elvis was though he had the edge with Pat On. 1026 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:33,600 I was gonna say soul sing as gospel music, which is soule sing 1027 01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:40,680 in a sense. But he had the edge, but he wasn't going to 1028 01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:46,119 church and Pat Boone was. And Pat said, listen, uh you know, 1029 01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:51,800 um, I am in touch with people like Rex Hubbard and others. 1030 01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:57,560 We could meet them, They could bless you. You could do a salvation 1031 01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:01,479 prayer. And you could come to church with me and others. And Elvis 1032 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:05,760 was convinced and said, okay, Pat, I'll do that. True or 1033 01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:11,960 false? Finally Number three had, of course had his own problems in his 1034 01:31:12,039 --> 01:31:15,920 marriage, but he's always, you know, been in a marriage with Shirley, 1035 01:31:16,159 --> 01:31:19,760 who was his dad was a famous country singer. I don't window that. 1036 01:31:21,079 --> 01:31:26,720 But Elvis before he married and Christ after he married, there was trouble. 1037 01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,119 But before he married in sixty seven, he was kind of fooling around 1038 01:31:30,159 --> 01:31:33,760 Matt, if you know what I mean. And Pat Boone said, you 1039 01:31:33,840 --> 01:31:38,560 got to stop that, you know, and you're a Christian man, settled 1040 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:44,479 out and marry the love of your life. And Elvis said to him this 1041 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:49,079 statement, why should I buy the cow when I can get to melk free? 1042 01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:53,840 Oh? Now did he really say it? True or false? Okay, 1043 01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:57,119 let's go to number one. Matt, forty one to forty, I 1044 01:31:57,119 --> 01:32:00,439 hope told me here assisting to this, because Paul should know this. Forty 1045 01:32:00,439 --> 01:32:05,239 one to forty almost a tie. Elvis gets the edge over Pat Boone. 1046 01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:11,760 True or false? I said false. I would think in nineteen fifty nine 1047 01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:15,279 Pat Boon would have still been ahead of Elvis. But I say, are 1048 01:32:15,359 --> 01:32:19,279 absolutely correct, Obo, no, man, and that's good reasoning. Matt, 1049 01:32:19,319 --> 01:32:23,960 You're absolutely right. It took Elvis a while to catch up. Pat 1050 01:32:24,039 --> 01:32:29,479 was ahead of them forty one to forty number two. They both sang great 1051 01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,479 transcendent metaphysical gospel music. I love it. I love them both doing that 1052 01:32:33,560 --> 01:32:40,079 work. But I give thee for my personal love. I give the edge 1053 01:32:40,119 --> 01:32:43,840 to Elvis. Yeah, I'm saying gospel like Elvis. But anyway, so, 1054 01:32:44,119 --> 01:32:45,319 but he wasn't going to church, and Pat said, come on, 1055 01:32:45,359 --> 01:32:50,000 I'll introduce you to Rex Harberd and Jimmy Swaggered, and these people will get 1056 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:54,880 you back to church. And Elvis said, okay, I'll do it. 1057 01:32:55,039 --> 01:32:58,920 True or false. I've not heard that story, but I'm gonna say true. 1058 01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:06,680 No, it's actually se okay, yeah, he never consistently. Elvis 1059 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:11,680 never. And you got to remember too, that he was We didn't know 1060 01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:13,800 it at the time. I certainly didn't know it at the time, and 1061 01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:17,960 it wasn't published. But Elvis was already struggling with drug and alcohol abuse badly, 1062 01:33:18,039 --> 01:33:21,239 you know, and they were recovering that up so that one would be 1063 01:33:21,239 --> 01:33:28,159 false. Okay, the final one here we go. Elvis took Pat. 1064 01:33:28,319 --> 01:33:31,920 After Pat kept and they were good friends, by the way, right up 1065 01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:36,279 till Elvis's death. Pat was devastated in seventy says, was I in his 1066 01:33:36,399 --> 01:33:44,319 fans, But um, Elvis came back with this remark, why indeed should 1067 01:33:44,359 --> 01:33:47,520 I buy the cow when I can get the milk free? True or false? 1068 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:51,199 I've certainly heard that expression, but I hope that Elvis wouldn't say that, 1069 01:33:51,279 --> 01:33:57,600 so I said false. Oh jeesus, Oh no, Elvis said that. 1070 01:33:57,920 --> 01:34:00,159 Elvis said that, Yeah, that's just a you know what's sad is 1071 01:34:00,359 --> 01:34:05,520 that's all right, you get one out of you know, hopefully your audience. 1072 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:12,079 You know, they were participating in their quiet way. But you know 1073 01:34:12,119 --> 01:34:15,680 it's sad because Elvis, you know, he married what appeared to be I 1074 01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:20,359 remember that I was overseas at the time, but he married the love of 1075 01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:28,840 his life, even though she was a lot younger. But after the birth 1076 01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,119 of Lisa, he I won't go into it all, but he did not 1077 01:34:32,199 --> 01:34:36,000 show a lot of respect for his beloved. Just put it that way. 1078 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:40,399 Yeah, And I think that part of that was, you know, he 1079 01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:47,359 was here was no what other entertainer was like Elvis. He was just metaphysical 1080 01:34:47,399 --> 01:34:50,279 in his presentation. And he was a great actor by the way too, 1081 01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:56,119 so he didn't get the good roles. They kept rolling over these terrible movies 1082 01:34:56,239 --> 01:35:00,920 ultimately, but King Creo and Jail House Rock, I mean those are good 1083 01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,960 movies. People don't watch them anymore, I don't think. But Elvis had 1084 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:08,760 everything going for him, so if he wanted, let me put it this 1085 01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:12,239 way, if he wanted to date, even though he was married, he 1086 01:35:12,319 --> 01:35:16,359 was dating unfortunately. So yeah, that's that's a that's a shame. But 1087 01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:20,520 I'll stop on that note. Uh, you know one band I always love, 1088 01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:25,039 Man, I know you love Kiss and I love the Beatles and the 1089 01:35:25,119 --> 01:35:29,680 Beach Boys. Yeah, um, Rolling Stones and not that you don't like 1090 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:33,239 them, but do you ever have you ever listened to the Flying Burrito Brothers? 1091 01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,720 Do you remember them? Uh? Yes, I'm aware of them, 1092 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:42,399 and I know that I've heard them, But I've a number of people have 1093 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:45,880 mentioned to me over the years, I should uh give them another look? 1094 01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:49,960 Um, I would. I would agree with them. Match they had, 1095 01:35:50,199 --> 01:35:56,960 of course, uh Chris Hill, but they had Graham Parsons. That man 1096 01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,720 was so talented and so creative, and because he had a sent going with 1097 01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:05,520 Emmy Lou Harris for a while and helped her, but unfortunately again he died 1098 01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:11,000 of a terrible drug overdose. And then he's like twenty six years old. 1099 01:36:11,359 --> 01:36:15,279 Oh but what are they harmonize? Man? They're like Poco another group. 1100 01:36:15,399 --> 01:36:18,800 Yeah, yeah, the early Buffalo Springfield, you know. Yeah, and 1101 01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:23,000 Beach Boys. They got that. They got that a great harmony. They 1102 01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:26,199 can slow it down, they can speed it up, and the musicians are 1103 01:36:26,319 --> 01:36:30,279 just sophisticated as I'll get up. Yeah, all right, we'll stop there. 1104 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:32,399 Happy Sacred Memorial Day. You know, I got trouble once when I 1105 01:36:32,399 --> 01:36:39,600 said Happy Memorial Day to someone someone respected. Yes, she was not happy 1106 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:43,560 to learn a lesson. Remember I remember that story. Yeah, she was 1107 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:48,920 not happy with you. Oh well does to a war veteran. Now she's 1108 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:53,840 gonna throw a pie in my face. But we had our fun. That's 1109 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,119 that was the main thing. I guess. It was a long time ago, 1110 01:36:56,279 --> 01:36:59,920 and we we we still respect each other. Good good, all right, 1111 01:37:00,079 --> 01:37:01,439 I love you. I'll let you go. My regards to Jenny and 1112 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,039 everyone. Keep up a good work. All right, Well, all right, 1113 01:37:04,039 --> 01:37:09,600 I love you too.

I do want to finish saying hello to everybody in 1122 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:42,039 the Facebook live chat. Very busy chat room today. Yardbird Blue Sky, 1123 01:37:42,239 --> 01:37:45,479 who I'm pretty sure is from Greensboro, North Carolina, joins us in the 1124 01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:50,000 chat and says good afternoon.

Melanie had pointed out in the chat room that Sonny Bono, 1127 01:38:01,399 --> 01:38:05,399 he died running into a tree. That's a reference to an analogy I 1128 01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:10,960 made during the first hour involving the debt limit. If you miss it, 1129 01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:12,920 of course, you'll be able to go back and hear it in the archive. 1130 01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,840 We do archive all the shows at WM and H radio dot org. 1131 01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:19,680 Jenny said this is regarding you know we were talking earlier about how the house 1132 01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:24,239 went home. You know, Biden's going to Camp David. The House has 1133 01:38:24,239 --> 01:38:28,319 already adjourned the House of Representatives. Jenny said, they should be locked in 1134 01:38:28,399 --> 01:38:30,800 chambers until the work is done. The New Hampshire way. Damn it. 1135 01:38:31,079 --> 01:38:35,600 Yes, they actually do that in the New Hampshire State Legislature. They'll they'll 1136 01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:40,800 lock you in, they'll lock the doors. If you have more to do, 1137 01:38:42,319 --> 01:38:45,560 Yardbird Blue Sky says, we will. Hopefully you can check our Facebook 1138 01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:50,840 like page. I'm right on it. Yardbird Blue Sky. Miriam is in 1139 01:38:50,880 --> 01:38:57,479 the chat room. Tom Blanchard says, regarding Eric's classic film review of Saving 1140 01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:01,319 Private Ryan, Tom said, I love this movie. Yardbird Blue Sky concurs 1141 01:39:01,319 --> 01:39:06,279 and says, awesome movie. We say we will be watching is retro Spectrum 1142 01:39:06,359 --> 01:39:15,680 Radio with POLC at eight pm one or f We'll appreciate that. Crystal, 1143 01:39:15,079 --> 01:39:17,760 our friend from the great state of Illinois. As again, this is regarding 1144 01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:24,039 the you know, everybody kind of going home for the weekend as the as 1145 01:39:24,119 --> 01:39:30,119 the country sits on the precipice of economic disaster. Crystal says, when there 1146 01:39:30,119 --> 01:39:33,760 are time constraints on legislation, that's exactly what they should do. No trips 1147 01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:38,239 or time off, get the job done or else. You don't go home 1148 01:39:38,399 --> 01:39:43,880 until it is. You'll see them responsibly compromise with each other eventually, maybe 1149 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,239 even the extreme factors of both parties or factions rather of both parties will have 1150 01:39:47,279 --> 01:39:54,239 accountability on their bs by their peers, so will be less apt to hold 1151 01:39:54,319 --> 01:39:58,479 up legislation if they know their own people will turn on them and won't put 1152 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,920 up with their antics. Well said, I agree, Cristal, I agree, 1153 01:40:03,279 --> 01:40:08,520 Scott Robinson says again regarding Saving Private Ryan, this movie is definitely in 1154 01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:12,159 my top five. Every time I see it on I can't change a channel. 1155 01:40:12,239 --> 01:40:15,760 Ever, the most heart wrenching scene in this movie was the German soldier 1156 01:40:15,800 --> 01:40:21,840 they let go and he came back and killed one of our soldiers. Crystal 1157 01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:25,560 says, great job, Eric, Saving Private Ryan was a great movie. 1158 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:29,960 Jenny says, well done. Eric. Pilcher. Joe Pilcher, who I 1159 01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:33,239 believe is Eric's cousin, says nice Tom Lanchard says, so proud of our 1160 01:40:33,279 --> 01:40:38,520 guys, Thank you so much. Melanie Liberty says, nice job, Eric. 1161 01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:43,800 Yes, Eric getting a lot of kudos for his classic film review Queen 1162 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:47,399 City Cabinetry LLLC, who of course is Mike from Queen City Cabinetry, says 1163 01:40:47,399 --> 01:40:54,239 good job Eric and yes, very popular segment on the program, and our 1164 01:40:54,239 --> 01:41:00,399 friend Shannon is on the line. High Shannon, Hello, Hello, I 1165 01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:09,079 said, hello, you know that's how you say it. Um gonna say 1166 01:41:09,199 --> 01:41:14,159 you just mentioned something about All I heard you'd say was, um, he 1167 01:41:14,239 --> 01:41:16,199 came back and killed one of our soldiers. Are you talking about Chris Kyle? 1168 01:41:17,079 --> 01:41:19,600 No, no, no, in Saving Private Ryan. Now I haven't 1169 01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:25,239 seen the film, but apparently there's a scene where they let one of the 1170 01:41:25,279 --> 01:41:28,680 German soldiers go and then he comes back and kills one of our soldiers. 1171 01:41:29,199 --> 01:41:34,199 Okay, because the reason I say that American sniper, I believe Chris different 1172 01:41:34,199 --> 01:41:38,680 movie, different thing. I mean, obviously that's the true story. But 1173 01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:43,479 yeah, no, no, we were talking about saving Private Ryan. Okay, 1174 01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:45,920 Yeah, that's very good. We do. Yes, he does a 1175 01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:51,600 wonderful job. But um yeah, um, I think he's the one who 1176 01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:58,680 started the warrior Um program. Christopher Kyle. I'm not positive on that, 1177 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:04,880 but okay, I got one thing you gotta ask police. How come he 1178 01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:11,920 didn't put Last Dance Last Chance? Um, I don't know the name of 1179 01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:15,720 the song. Only know some sports? Do you know what I'm talking about? 1180 01:42:16,239 --> 01:42:19,680 Last? Is that? H? Is that Donna? Is that Donna? 1181 01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:25,199 Summer? It's a disco song, right, last Dance? Last Chance? 1182 01:42:25,319 --> 01:42:28,399 Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the song. He 1183 01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:31,840 didn't put it on though. I was waiting for it. I thought you 1184 01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:35,880 were waiting for the theme Niccagney and Lacy. Oh, I'll be waiting for 1185 01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:41,159 that. Yeah, I think he's playing that tonight. U ac DC had 1186 01:42:41,199 --> 01:42:48,079 covered that with Brian Johnson singing, yes tonight's I mean? Is it a 1187 01:42:48,119 --> 01:42:55,800 two parter? Yes, it's a two parter? What't no meaning this weekend? 1188 01:42:55,840 --> 01:43:00,119 Tonight though? Right kidding? U Oh? DJ DJ Steve is in 1189 01:43:00,159 --> 01:43:02,640 the chat room and says, Hi, Shannon, miss you? Hello? 1190 01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:09,720 Who DJ Steve? H? Yes, miss two. He's in the chat 1191 01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:13,119 room. He misses you. Did you guys have a thing? Yes? 1192 01:43:13,199 --> 01:43:15,560 We did? Okay, very nice? How long were you together? Spilled 1193 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,760 the two? It was fun and it was it was slighty, and it 1194 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:24,079 was fast and it forever you said it was fast, Well that's disappointing. 1195 01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:29,520 Forever. Oh very nice. Yeah, but no, I don't want to 1196 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,399 screw everybody after everybody's eyeballs are going around their heads right now. But it's 1197 01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:36,680 up full moon a week from today. So yeah, but he was fast 1198 01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:42,640 on top of for everybody. You know. Yes, well, you're cramming 1199 01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,039 a lot of ideas, said to a couple of sentences there, Shannon. 1200 01:43:45,720 --> 01:43:49,159 Um. But yes, I will ask him why he didn't play the theme 1201 01:43:49,199 --> 01:43:55,399 for Cagney and Lacy or Last Dance, okay, because I know sometimes you 1202 01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:59,039 guys can't play stuff because the copyright then prints or something, right, right, 1203 01:43:59,319 --> 01:44:03,079 We're really not allowed to play anything, okay, because of a copyright 1204 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:10,239 copyright infringement. So that's why sometimes it's it's just white noise. That's all 1205 01:44:10,239 --> 01:44:13,600 we're allowed, you know. And you should ask Eric the next time you 1206 01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:16,560 talk to him. Um. I had asked one of the girls Kremlin few 1207 01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:20,279 years back, as if I just stuff playing the music, m why did 1208 01:44:20,359 --> 01:44:27,319 they She told me something about how well, we can't play it because of 1209 01:44:27,399 --> 01:44:32,199 copyright blah blah blah. Well, the thing is that does get a little 1210 01:44:32,199 --> 01:44:38,520 tricky because if if somebody from one of these music rights organizations like uh like 1211 01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:42,600 BMI or ASCAP, they actually have under and by the way, people will 1212 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,760 think I'm making this up. This is not a joke. They actually have 1213 01:44:45,039 --> 01:44:48,920 agents for lack of a better term, that they send in undercover to places 1214 01:44:49,199 --> 01:44:54,560 and bust them for not paying for the licensing to be playing playing music. 1215 01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:58,079 Now, we are a radio station, We're a federally licensed radio station. 1216 01:44:58,159 --> 01:45:00,239 Fan and so I was kidding what I said about how we can't play anything. 1217 01:45:00,239 --> 01:45:03,079 We can actually play whatever we want to. Yes, I know, 1218 01:45:03,279 --> 01:45:09,279 but it's just weird going to Cremeland and not having the speakers right Creameland, 1219 01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:15,039 they they cannot just play. Not only do they not have a public not 1220 01:45:15,079 --> 01:45:17,279 only do they not have a public bathroom, they do not have permission to 1221 01:45:17,279 --> 01:45:21,279 just play all this music. And uh, apparently an end has been put 1222 01:45:21,319 --> 01:45:30,920 to their chicanery. Yeah, they need to fill in that that. I 1223 01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:34,239 don't know what it's called. It's not driveway. That the lot, the 1224 01:45:34,399 --> 01:45:42,319 lot right in front of all the windows. The gulch. Well, you 1225 01:45:42,359 --> 01:45:45,399 can lose a small dog in that. Well that's not Why did that happen? 1226 01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:51,119 Did you lose a small dog in the gulf and it's in the gulch 1227 01:45:51,279 --> 01:45:55,800 it might still be there. Well, have you ever been there? I've 1228 01:45:55,800 --> 01:45:58,520 been there. Yeah, that's why I know that's how I know they don't 1229 01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,760 have a public bathroom. It's very upset. Yes, well, Teab, 1230 01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:04,560 they didn't have the picket table set up. I mean they could just let 1231 01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:09,920 people go in the gulch. Yeah, the health Department might not allow that 1232 01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,119 though, but I mean it is a gulch. Might as well put something 1233 01:46:13,159 --> 01:46:17,560 in it. Well, yeah, I mean already a little more. Yeah, 1234 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:23,479 alright, Shannon, all right, Ye have fun tonight.
