Jenny, I see you're in the Facebook live chat and said shalom, peeps,
I am everywhere. John Hopwood is in the Chatterman says, I'm never
sure if I'm pronouncing this correctly. Is it sam Ain sam Hain, Samarron?
Really yeah, Samorrow, something like that, Samian Samarron. Isn't there
an EM in there? There's no R in there, that's for sure,
can't be Samarron. I said an R yeah, Samarron usually lingo. I
don't know. I don't know how to say that, but it is only
a fortnight away apparently, And how long is the fortnite yet? I don't
know, we don't Uh, this is John twenty four hours. Wait,
isn't it the twenty second John? You gotta speak American around here? Please?
My goodness, he went, my goodness, Oh Texas. Mike is
on the Facebook live chat and says, listening while doing my laundry? Yes,
well, you know, our very expensive demographic research shows that a lot
of our listeners do their laundry while listening to the show. I thought they
were driving home when they were listening to the show. A lot of them
are, but a lot of them are doing their laundry. Thirty eight percent
of our listenership is cleaning their clothing while listening to us. It's it's well.
A part of that is we're very popular in dry cleaners. A lot
of their dry cleaners like to listen to us while the while they work.
Melanie says, did you say Tracy Lord? I thought that would be a
Matt Connorton unsheathed kind of guest. No, no, no, Quincy Lord,
not Tracy Lord. Tracy Lord is a Tracy Lord might have appeared in
a in a certain kind of film, at one time that one of those
people my friends and I in high school might have watched on a VHS tape.
But no, a Quincy lord is is our guest today coming in later?
Yes, Melanie says, uh, fortnite is three weeks I believe.
Okay, so three weeks until sam Hayin or whatever. I don't know how

says, I just put a load in. Oh my, And Melanie says
one of those people that sounds judgy. Ah, yes, who you are?
Oh no, I said one of those people. Yes I did,
I admit it. Yes, what are you gonna do now? Melanie six
O three two five seven is a studio aligned six three two five six seven.
You have you have had a busy day. I have had a busy
day. Yes. Actually I had a meeting with one of Senator Passion's senior
healthcare policy AIDS and it was very productive. It was a very good meeting,
and I really felt very heard to be honest. But what's going on
is the Senate Finance Committee. This is in DC not conquered. The Senate
Finance Committee is going to hold a hearing Wednesday, So there wasn't a whole
lot of time to prepare for this, and it's a hearing that's going to
be talking about how the insurance companies who are selling Medicare advantage plans are using
deceptive practices to sign people up. For example, we know a New Hampshire
resident who had somebody sign them up over the phone. But the person with
somebody who has autism and needs help with these kind of decisions, but this
age or what have you is able to cold call them and call them over
the phone talk them into signing up. And thankfully the people who take care
of this person had that come forward and found out what happened and they were
able to undo it before it got stuck, like they were able to undo
it that day. But for anybody else, you know, once you're signed
up, that's it. There's no second bite at the apple. You're stuck.
So and they're also they used to acceptive practices. They you know,
try and tell you, oh, you're gonna get a free pair of glasses
every year, and then if you want kids version first year lenses for a
preschooler, sure they'll pay for the lenses. Otherwise they don't pay for I
know this because I just went through it. And anyway, this the hearing
is also to try and start to get the Senate talking about the issues going
on with Medicare. Advantage number one, it shouldn't be allowed to call medicare.
It's a posts. You know, it doesn't operate like medicare. It's
not covering things like medicare. They shouldn't be able to use that word and
trick people. So this hearing is really important in that, and I wish
more people would come forward and share their stories of what's happened with them with
Medicare, because the only way that we can get these rules enforced is if
we bring them the cases and the evidence to show them that the existing rules
and laws don't work or that things need to be changed. Like you guys
might remember, I told you I shared a while back, not long ago,
about my data Farberg breast cancer checkup bill coming in and the insurance splitting
it into two claims, making part of it in network and part of it
out of network, right, So that's not supposed to happen, so we
think, But here it did. Here it happened to me, and I
was being told that I was on the hook for money that I really shouldn't
because Medicare says that momography checkups are supposed to be covered one hundred percent.
That's a Medicare rule. So CMS needs to enforce these rules. And we
need to tell our elected folks what's going on in the real world if we're
going to get them to do anything about it. This hearing is to me
an opening a chance to give them a touch of what we've got for evidence
to show that they need to rain this stuff in. I mean, you
guys know, I'm not shy about the fact that I want to see a
national health care policy. But in the very least, we need to start
making sure that these in private for profit insurance companies who are pocketing our premiums.
Moneys set aside for Medicare are being taken and given to these private for
profit insurance companies and they are pocketing it as profit. Meanwhile, people are
across the country don't get their care. I've been fighting with them over in
infusion and they don't want to pay a few hundred dollars or six hundred whatever
dollars for my infusion. But they made over eight billion dollars in profit in
the first three months of this year alone. They're pocketing your premiums and they're
taking money out of Medicare Trust. These dollars are going to them to buy
yachts or trips or whatever the heck the elitists want to do. You know
that, I know that. Meanwhile, we're out here banging on the doors,
going please give me the medicine. I don't want to die. And
the only way this changes is if we share our stories, we come forward,
we talk to our senators. So that's I spent today actually speaking to
one of the staffers in DC. They are going to bring forward a lot
of the information that we brought. I wasn't alone, there were other people
in the meeting with me, But I intend on on paying attention to this
hearing and hearing what they have to say. I want to point out,
though, something I found out that I was very disappointed in is that this
Senate hearing that's going to discuss the sefter practices and the practices of how these
Medicare advantage policies are advertised, does not include a single patient as a person
who's going to come in and speak. The people that they invite to come
in and speak are apparently these are people who work in the healthcare industry.
These are the very people that are pocketing the money they're going to get to
go testify, But no patients are getting to go testify. And that's wrong.
Anytime there's healthcare being discussed in Washington, DC, it should involve patients,
the very people being discussed, not these people who go home to million
dollar homes and never have to worry about an aspirin. They don't know for
nothing. They're not the ones out there scared to death. They're gonna die
because they can't get access to care. We are, and we need to
speak up far more if we expect changes, because this is happening in the
United States. This is not happening in other countries. Other countries look at
us horrified. Oh my god, you ruin people's credit on healthcare. Oh
my god, you'll let that child die. It's the number one cause of
personal bankruptcy in the United States. Healthcare medical bills exactly exactly, and the
only, and we need our voices in DC big time. They shouldn't beholding
I'm a I'm angry. I'm upset that they hot a hold a hearing on
this and they're not going to talk to the very people that get ripped off
or get signed up into these policies and now they're locked out of their healthcare.
They find out after the fact they've lost every one of their providers because
they're quote unquote not in network. Traditional Medicare doesn't do that to you.
Medicare is Medicare. It's accepted everywhere that Medicare is accepted. There's no in
network. It's all in network. So we're along road from getting any of
this done. But I hope that you guys will seriously consider writing to your
senators. If you need help reaching out on anything, contact me. I
would love to help you get involved and be a voice after the Winter in
the chatroom says a great topic after the winter, of course, one of
our recent musical guests, Yeah, and also says, hey, that desk
looks familiar. What's up? And also Legion of Solid Sedge Simmer Facebook live
chat Hey guys, and Ronda Favero from the Great State of California points out,
we never get a seat at the table. Well, I'm working on
that. Yeah, I need your help. Yeah, I mean that is
a that is a great point. It does seem like patients are the last
to be heard from. Unfortunately. Part of this, too is that when
we talk about what happens in healthcare and people getting denied care, do you
know in New Hampshire we have the highest rate of denials in care of any
other New England state. We're number one. I didn't realize that we are.
We are also pretty pretty much up at the top of having the largest
out of pocket deductibles to meet. We paid the higher amount in premiums,
you know, and what do you get for it? Right? Only one
percent of people who have their their claim denied actually try to appe heal it
because the process is so daunting and so monstrous to a lot of people that
they don't feel like they can take it on right, which is why,
like I say, come to me, I'm not even kidding. I've got
organizations who have people that are waiting to help you get the care that you
need and the care that you deserve, to get you paid into this system
you promised that you were going to have this on the other end. Yeah,
and now they're trying to wipe it out from under us, and there's
stuff and more profits into the CEOs and the stockholders of United Healthcare and Signa
and Anthem, oh and Anthem Blue Cross. They're going to change their name
again. By the way, did I tell you that? No? Yeah,
Elevants is their new name Elevants because you know the best way to hide
from your horrible past is to change your name. Well, that is true.
Yeah, it's all like they haven't done that before. That is a
classic tactic. Absolutely. So we're gonna have this new company coming in.
You're gonna go, oh, new company, Elevants. Nope, Blue Cross,
Blue Shield, anth them new name, same peeps. U. This
is in the Facebook live chat and it says sounds like we are getting rid
of the weakest, poorest, sickest people in New Hampshire. Well, it
is part of the game, right because the health insurance companies, that's what
they would prefer you, as we always say on the show, and not
everyone is as blunt about it. I'm not sure why, because this is
a simple reality when you are when they're getting your premiums, whether you're paying
them directly or whether your employer is paying them. Uh, you're you know
you're you're a profit for them. Absolutely. But as soon as you actually
need to use your health insurance, if something catastrophic happens, now you're no
longer you're no longer an asset, You're now a liability. You're now costing
the insurance company money. So ultimately, the insurance company would prefer that you
die. Yes, it is a business. We have a commodified healthcare system.
They would prefer that you die. They only make money when you don't
get care, right, if you're sucking up that money, you're too expensive.
Yeah, they want to get rid of you. And there are plenty
of people out there, and I've heard horror stories of people saying that they're
Once they got really sick, their denials started coming in more and more frequent.
Of course, more denials, more medications, all we're not going to
cover that met anymore more things along those the lines, putting their lives more
and more in jeopardy until they finally die. This is the way insurance works.
Insurance works like a swimming pool. Everybody in. If you're healthy,
I'm making money. The minute you start costing money, you're diverting that money
away from their pool, so they don't want that. We have a call.
Hi, Welcome to Matt Connorton Unleashed. Who's this? Oh wow,
it's Paulie paul See from Retrospecial Radio with poly Cu. What's up? You
know? Jen? It's funny because not more than twenty minutes ago, I
just got up the phone with my doctor's office because they the insurance company,
put me on a new inhaler. They took me off at inhaler from my
asthma that has been working just fine for the past ten years, and they
all of a sudden up and change it on me to a new inhaler that
does not work. Oh and it wasn't my doctor that did that. It
wasn't any practitioner that did that. It was the insurance company that made that
decision. So now I'm fighting with my doctor's office letting them know that I
need to get back on the original Hailer in haler though I was on,
and they're not checking with a head doctor. They're checking with the insurance company
to see if I can have my old inhaler back, which is kind of
scary and frightening and sucks. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, I mean they
can absolutely give you the prescription. You know, it's a but you know,
if you end up in this situation and you want some help, I
know some people out there that are willing to help people fight their insurance companies
to get the care, the the medications that they need. And I'm not
even kidding. Theo's two main organizations, People's Action and Be a Hero,
both of which have got systems set up and in place to help individuals.
Yeah, and you know, I think they really do don't care either way.
If a person died, I think that they would prefer it absolutely,
of course. Yeah, as long as you're costing them money and not making
them money. Yes, from a business standpoint, they would absolutely prefer that
you die. And don't kid yourself. This is a business. They're in
it for profit. Why do you think they got stockholders and all of the
shares that they got. They made eight billion dollars in profit in three months
the first of this year, just United Healthcare, never mind the rest of
them. Ronda in the chatroom says, regarding what you were the situation you
were just talking about, Paul, Ronda says, insurance companies practicing medicine without
a license, which is yeah, that's effectively what they've done to you.
That's exactly what they're doing. And it's United Healthcare. Oh why am I
not surprised? You know, there are so many horrific stories that I have
heard since I came out about my United Healthcare nightmares, and it's it's mind
mind boggling. These people are not They're not in it to care for you.
They're in it to make money. This is why it's wrong to have
a profit like that involved in healthcare. Healthcare should decisions need to be made
between patients and their doctors. Yeah, thanks to these these schooligans, I'm
gonna I'm gonta switch the ultra light cigarettes. Thanks a lot. Oh god,
well that's I'll let you guys go, all right, Paul, thanks
for the call. All right. Always nice to hear from. Always nice
to hear from Polly See from Retro Spectrum Radio with Polly C every Friday night
from eight to eleven pm here at WM and H ninety five point three FM.
And I have the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts
on that show along with DJ Seve and uh Mike from Queen City Cabinetry,
who's also one of our great sponsors here at WM and H. Melanie in
the chat room says, uh, what did you say about the flashlight you
have lodged? Oh, nevermind, that is more private issue now Paul was
talking about as Inhaler. Yeah, I mean it's interesting that it's interesting.
So is that's legal though, Like, I don't think that. I don't
understand. That's a first for me. I've heard of that kind of thing
before. Well, I've heard of medicaid. Yell. Now see I'm wrong.
I've heard of that kind of thing before. But you would think it
would be illegal for your insurance company to just well, there switch you.
I mean that would be I mean, that's no different than them saying,
you know, you're on this medication, but we now have decided you're going
to be on this other medication. See, they're allowed to have their formulary,
and if it's not on their formulary, they informed the doctor and the
doctor says, well, I'll have to give you this one in order to
use insurance. The other side of that coined though, is remember there are
some other avenues out there like GoodRx. I mean I'm not I don't work
for these people. I use them for one of my meds because it works
out better for me financially. So you can always go online to good RX,
type in your medication and see what it gives you for options in your
area. You might find the copaid cheaper than it would have been for your
insurance, or you know, that's another way to give yourself the option,
because then you tell the doctor you're not using your insurance. And good RX
is a good resource. It works for me. I mean, the medication
that I need through my insurance is eighty five dollars. Through good RX at
a grocery store is forty dollars. I seem to remember using good RX for
my my eye drops when I was between insurance. I remember using good RX.
I mean it works. It helps people. We have to nickel and
dime ourselves so we can afford our healthcare. Yeah. Tom Blanchard in the
chat room says, I thought it was illegal for insurance companies to deny claims.
Oh no, Tom. As a matter of fact, New Hampshire has
the highest rate of declined claims in New England of all the New England states,
we have the highest rate. What you might be thinking of, Tom
is the affordable. Under the Affordable Care Act, it became although there's loopholes
to this, which Jenny knows all about, but under the Affordable Care Act,
it did become illegal for them to deny you based on pre existing conditions
unless you're on a Medicare going for Medicare. Help me, it's the supplement
policy. Oh there's party. No party is medications No. The Medicare supplemental
policy that you have to get medic gap Medica. Sorry, I couldn't split
that out. When you first become eligible for Medicare, you get your Medicap
policy, they have to give you a policy and they can't ask you about
any kind of medical stuff. But once like I'm in, I'm on Medicare
advantage. If I want to transfer back to traditional Medicare, oh sure I
can. However, no medic no insurance is going to ensure me for metagap
insurance, I'm not going to be able to get the policy, and I'll
have to go without care for like six months to a year on any conditions
that I had pre existing likes the RPS, small fibern neuropathy, so they
get to take a walk on all my pre existings for six months to a
year, so you die off before you can get the supplement going back.
With the exception of four or five states, New Hampshire could change the laws
to enable people to go back without having that problem. There are a handful
of states that do. New Hampshire is not one of them. Unfortunately,
your pre existing conditions can be held against you and used against you in METAGAP
policies. After the winter says, have a great day, guys, see
you at Swarmy Fest. Yes, Swarmy Fest is only only a few weeks
away now coming right up? Was it November fourth? I think yes,
jel yes it is yep. And speaking of Swormyfest, Hans Smith from Sepsis
is also in the Facebook left chat. Hello Hans, and I sew Chris
Rose from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is in there as well. Hello Chris.
I been really happy we've been able to get a lot of the Swarmy Fest
bands in. Oh yeah, yeah. Is there anyone you haven't gotten on?
Yes? Oh okay, well there's a number of bands. Now there
are two stages. Oh that's right, that's right, Yes, there's quite
a few, but there's a number of them we have had on Yes,
quite a few. Yes. And Melanie in the chatroom says, appeals rights
are required at least for Medicaid coverage. Yeah, so you have a right
to appeal, right, But that doesn't mean it's going to help you in
the end. Oh yeah, no, Actually, seventy five percent of appeals
actually are overturned, but only about one percent of people actually apply for an
appeal. Oh right, Can they tell you it's going to be in writing
within thirty days? And they make it sound so daunting. But I will
add this little caveat there are people they call them whatever, they call them
service navigators or whatever, and the insurance companies that are supposed to work with
you when you want to file something, if you need to file appeal or
you want to file a prioritization, you can ask for one of these people.
And which I did, and I literally said to the woman, I
am visually impaired. I don't even own a printer. I have medical situations
that make it hard for me to write out try and write out something,
especially since I'm a lefty and my hand looks likesnosage. Sometimes and I need
your help to do this. So I have filed all of my appeals over
the phone with the help of the service navigator, thereby getting my appeals and
literally the same days that these ridiculous things are coming out that I'm having to
appeal. Yeah, Legion of Solace in the chat room says, speaking of
Swarmyfest, we are giving away a ticket to join us as our guest,
open to veterans and current service members. Details on our Facebook. Oh that's
awesome for you. Very cool. Yeah, so details on Facebook, So
go to the Legion of Solace Facebook page and you can learn more there.
Excellent. That is very good, very good. That's really cool. I'll
drop their link right in the chat room there. Excellent, excellent. Anything
else on that or did you want to talk about the uh what speakership?
Oh? Shall we gosh? Yeah, we should, we should. I'm
waiting for the country to just implode. Oh, Miriam just joined us in
the Facebook live chat. Hello Miriam. Hello Duck six O three two five
six seven. If you'd like to get in with a call six O three
two five six seven. We do have a great musical guest. By the
way, if you're just joining us coming coming up in the second hour,
Quincy Lord from the band Sunset Electric will be coming in and really looking forward
to meeting him. Uh. We played one of his songs at the top
of the show today. Well, actually we played a couple of things.
We played something from Quincy Lord's solo album and then we also played the uh
the AI all the there's all these AI song parodies. Now, the video
is fantastic. Somebody on YouTube made an AI parody of the song locked Up
by Akon, a song that I've played on the show before. I love
that song, but uh but with AI an AI version of Trump seeing the
lyrics and it's pretty funny. But you have to see the video that goes
with it. The video is uh is hilarious. Oh, by the way,
right AID has filed for bankruptcy. I saw that, but it looks
like it's they're they're staying open. They're just restructuring. So yeah, it
looks like chapter thirteen, So it looks like they're or whatever it is.
No, it's a chapter eleven. Chapter eleven. Sorry, but they're reorganizing
and uh so they they will still be able to I saw that because you
know that's where we get our prescriptions, and that's one of them. Yeah
yeah, and that's one of the many pharmacies I need to use. That's
where we get our vaccines. Yes, yes, I let them give me
the jab Yes, and I enjoyed it, yes twice, even Hail Soros
on the same day. Mm hmm. And I'm happy about it personally.
Of course, I became more more favorable towards vaccines after my doctor told me
that the flu could kill me. Yeah, so you know there's that,
But why worry about vulnerable people? Speaking of vulnerable people, what's going to
happen if these oh God dufases caike it out of their own way and elect
a speaker. How far off are we from literally having a government shutdown and
oh, let's not pay our troops even though we've got two aircraft carriers out
in the Middle East, We're going to stop paying the troops because that's what
happens when we shut down. Oh yeah, it's coming. They don't get
paychecks. A little bit of an update on that, so Jim Jordan,
because if you haven't been following along, and of course, you know,
the the war with Israel versus Amasis has kind of swallowed up most media coverage.
But but this is probably the second biggest story. But right now is
of course what's going on with the speakership in the House. But this does
affect everything else, including military readiness, and because well not only so,
not only when we get to the end of this last continuing resolution, I
think it goes to the middle of November. Yeah, will once again be
staring down the barrel of a government shutdown. But also, you know,
our government in some ways is effectively paralyzed. For example, if you want
to pass you know, some sort of new aid package for Israel, well
you can't do it right now. You can't do anything in the House right
now. And that's where bills like that have to start. But Jim Jordan,
it says here, this is from the Hill dot com. Jordan builds
speakership momentum as opposition falls. And of course Steve Scalise already got out.
He had signaled early that he probably was not going to do the whole go
through the fifteen rounds trying to clench that speakership and all the horse trading and
deal making that goes on. Oh it was something, but yeah, he
wasn't he wasn't interested in going through all that. So he uh, you
know, after that first vote, he said, well, I don't have
the votes to be speakers. Wonder if we actually stepped back and look,
would this be the most unproductive Congress to have ever sat in DC because they
spent so much time on this stuff. They never get anything done in my
opinion, Yeah, people's work isn't getting done because they keep doing this.
Yeah, their egos are ballooned to the size of Mount Washington, Well says
here. Opposition to House eop speaker nominee Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio is crumbling
as Republicans returned to Washington for a House vote to try to officially elect him.
Four key lawmakers who signaled opposition to Jordan last week fell like a set
of dominoes Monday, giving the Ohio Republican a significant boost boost ahead of an
expected war vote Tuesday. Okay, so this is going to be a floor
vote tomorrow. Chip Roy of Texas told conservative radio host Eric Erickson today when
asked about the opposition to Jordan, quote, my gut tells me we're somewhere
south of ten who are still being recalcitrant unquote. It is remarkable. It
is a remarkable development after thirteen days of turbulence in the House GOP following the
ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, which left many lawmakers and outside observers skeptical
Republicans could coalesce around a candidate. Jordan emerged as the conference's nominee Friday,
winning one hundred and twenty four votes on a second tally where Republicans were asked
to vote yes if they'd support him on the floor. Jordan got one hundred
and fifty two votes. He needs two to seventeen. A number of GOP
members and political observers went into the weekend thinking Jordan faced a tough hill to
climb to win the two seventeen Republican votes on the floor necessary to win the
speakership, but Jordan now seems to be edging closer and closer amid a pressure
campaign buys out lies to win support for the conservative Republican and ally of former
President Trump. Also playing in Jordan's favor is exasperation with the internal GOP turbulence
that is keeping the House paralyzed as war breaks out in Israel and Gaza,
as well as the threat of moderate Republicans working with Democrats who exert control over
the speakership, which, by the way, I don't think that's much of
a threat because I don't think that's going to actually happen. And even if
it was, well, I wish that it already did, because, as
I've said on the show, I actually do wish. I understand why they
didn't, but I do wish that Democrats had rescued Kevin McCarthy. I do
too, because we can't. This is this is yeah, this is terrible.
Their they their complacency is going to cost this country. Well, the
thing is too I mean McCarthy and I could say many horrible things about him,
and I probably have at various points. But but at least Kevin McCarthy
understood couple of things that are important. He understood that government shutdowns or things
to be avoided, and even more importantly, he understood that you cannot allow
the country to default on our national debt. Jim Jordan is someone who I
think would be perfectly fine with because some Republicans, you know, some of
the more conservative Republicans in the House actually think default would be awesome and cool.
You know, global economic arm again and what the hell. Just rip
the band aid off. That's how they talk about it. I'll just rip
the band aid off, get it over with. Let me tell you how
much I support the truth. Meanwhile, no paychecks for you. Meanwhile,
the global economy would be flushed down the toilet. But let's not forget the
fact that Tubboville's got all over one hundred. I think it's closer to three
hundred raises and appointments held up because of his personal opinion. Yeah, one
person's personal opinion. This is the most inafvected Congress ever have done nothing but
gridlock themselves and pass nothing and do nothing. But my concern about Jim Jordan
is that he he won't have any problem with a government shutdown or when or
when the time comes default. So he also is all along those ILKs that
want to cut social Security because you didn't earn that, you didn't pay for
that, it's an entitlement. Yeah. So I really think that I could
say something, but you'd have to beat me, right right, So I
would have very much preferred the Democrats just I'd kept my save McCarthy, you
know, not for free, you know, get something out of him for
it. But I wish they had say, it would have been better than
what we're dealing with now. Yes, Hi, welcome to Matt Connorton,
unleashed. Who's this? It's John C. Hawkwood. To see is for
congressional scholars. Congressional scholar I think that would be CS. But but that's
okay. Well, hello John. Well, when my parents gave me the
name, they just made it one word because you can amchalar at the time.
Well you can do that with proper nouns. That makes sense to do
nothing. Congress was the eightieth Congress, which was elected in nineteen forty six
and which Harry Truman ran against in the nineteen forty eight presidential election. It
was headed by who is the Speaker of the House. He was a guy
from Massachusetts. First name is Joe. I can't remember what the second was,
and he occasionally popped up when the Republicans would win the House occasionally.
You know, since Roosevelt being elected in thirty two, you had that long
period where the Democrats generally controlled both houses, you know, both Houses of
Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives. But when you look at
history the like when we're talking about under Obama, is first, remember when
the Republicans would have the House, Democrats would have the swim majority. Traditionally,
I do nothing Congress like in nineteen forty six, is when one party
controls the Senate and one party controls the House, and then things just get
stalemated. But this is the first time in history a Speaker of the House
has ever been fired. And this is the first time you've ever seen,
you know, a do nothing Congress. The result not of two polarized parties,
you know, holding two different branches of government, like you know,
the Democrats have the how the well remember on the Reagan for six years the
Republicans had the Senate and then the Democrats held the House. Traditionally, if
I remember correctly, you get like a quarter less legislation out of a house,
out of a Congress, or two houses are helping, you tend to
get, but you tend to get. John, you've ever had the polarization
inside a party. But I think I'm crazy. It's anarchy. You get
a better quality, I think when there is that you know, during the
Reagan administration was actually when Republicans passed legislation to make a woman's gynecologist a primary
provider, not a specialist. They had to do it through lack as insurance
companies wouldn't do it. But that happened because Democrats and Republicans work together.
They're not doing that anymore. Nobody's working together anymore for the good of the
people. Everybody's out for their own egotistical item whatever that history they've all you
know, this idea that you just have to read history. They always have
been against each other. This is just the first time we've ever seen like
this kind of This is like something from Civil War. This is not done.
Yeah, because I think that there's just I think the point John is
making though, is this is the first time we've seen it where it's within
a party. You have one party sabotaging itself. They're so busy sabotaging themselves
they can't work with the Democrats to do anything. And even if you ask
them to, Jim Jordan and his ILK I don't want to work with the
Democrats on anything. Well, that doesn't get our country going. That's not
how it works. They're not perfect, but it's not what works. The
closest party. This couldn't happen in a parliamentary system. You'd already have you
know, the government would fall the closest in the party. One of the
reasons where we have whipped a whip in. You know, a parliamentary system
is much stronger than a whip. I think, Jenny, you might have
bet a whip. I wassentative first time. Is that you have to volt
the party line. If you crossed the aisle, they are serious consequences.
I wasn't known for either leading up to throwing you out of the park,
but here it's just I've never seen anything so crazy. It's anarchy, the
closest thing I can remember that. But Jenny, you're right about doing nothing,
because when you put this in a historic contest, you know, there's
the famous do nothing Congress that Harry Truman, Joe Martin, he was the
Speaker of the House. Then he briefly went again. We know, we
know Joe mart York, Joe McCarthy, as you know, anything that rose
to Eller Truman did. They were communists, Pearl Rodgers out of the other
thing. But you know, things still happened because you know, Truman was
an effective president and Eisenhower was a very effective president. You know, I
worked those states are so gone York. The Reagan administration was very effective because
you know, they did have you know, Jim Baker's the chief of staff
in the first time, and you have Bob Doll and people like that.
In the Senate. They were I mean, they always sniped at each other
and bit everything. But this is just crazy. This is anarchy. The
closest thing I'll just wait till you're off the phone, all right, thanks
Sean. The closest thing I can recall to anything like this is during the
rise of the Tea Party during the Obama administration, we had these Tea partiers
who ultimately have morphed into the House Freedom Caucus. But they, you know,
they they they gave John Bayner a lot of trouble. You know,
they were about to remove John Bayner and he said, no, I'm good,
I'm just gonna go on my own and and that's part of why Paul
Ryan got out too. But but yeah, we've never seen we've never seen
anything like this. Nothing's getting done everything, and that's not a good thing.
Some people think that's good, but it's not. It's not good.
And the grand scheme of things, there are people who will end up dead
because things are getting done right. Bottom line, I mean, and government
shutdowns cost the economy trillions of dollars so and hurt a whole lot of people,
So people take that too lightly. Also, every time there's a government
shutdown, people become more and more desensitized to when the real sort of harbinger
of doom shows up, and that's the debt ceiling. Because what I've noticed
happens is and polling data bears us out when we're on the edge of going
over the well, the fiscal cliff, Americans surveyed don't think it's a big
deal. And I believe the reason they don't think it's a big deal is
because not only do most Americans not understand that issue, but they become desensitized
to all the government shutdowns that happen. So when we're about to not raise
the debt ceiling on schedule like we need to, most Americans who are only
halfway paying attention, they assume that's the same thing as a government shutdown.
They don't understand that government shutdowns are bad, but very bad, but actually
not raising the debt limit and going over the fiscal cliff would be catastrophic.
Like I'm you know, I might sound a little hyperbolic when I say global
economic armageddon, but talk to an economist, I'm not really being that hyperbolic.
I mean that really is basically what it would be if we ever default
on our debt, which we've never done. Jeff Nyan joins us in the
Facebook Lave chat, as well as Carol Zo Warawitz. Hello. I always
see Carol too, well, not always necessarily, but I did see Carol
I think Friday night in the chat room for retro Spectrum Radio with poly C
just a little bit more on this. So we've got a great guest sur
No seven hour. But I'm sorry, what November seventeenth is the new date
for shutdown? Okay, I was just checking to see what it was.
Yeah. Government will now continue operating until November seventeenth unless lawmakers pass another spending
bill before then, and they can't even vote on a speaker to agree with.
This is why I'm worried. Yeah, oh yeah, this is why
I'm worried. We're literally thirty one days away. Approximately thirty one days away.
Yeah, so that's looming. We can't It's like it's they're doing nothing.
They're they're great at talking to microphones. They got that down. Pat
Jim Jordan likes to put on his little show of look how big and bad
I am. Yeah, he's gone back on a number of things already that
he always claimed to, you know, like I'm a speaker's vote should never
come to the floor until you have the number of votes, And now it's
his name on the ballot, and he's like, Oh, we're going to
have the vote anyway. We're gonna do it anyway. Skipping down in this
article a bit, it says Jordan is not out of the woods just yet.
He still faces some opposition within the conference, and a number of his
colleagues are keeping their cards close to their chests, setting the stage for a
close race when the Ohio Republican goes to the floor Tuesday. If all House
members vote, Jordan can afford to lose only four Republicans. Representative Carlos Jamenaz
of Florida said today he intended to support McCarthy on the House floor, even
though the ousted speaker does not plan to seek the gavel again, and Representative
Steve Womack of Arkansas, an appropriator who called Jordan polarizing last week, is
not yet giving Jordan his public support. He told CNN in an interview today,
quote, You'll know how I vote when I vote. I know there
are concerns from the Appropriations Committee unquote on Jordan serving as speaker. Yeah,
that makes sense because the Appropriations Committee, that's you know, that involves the
money, and Jim Jordan is probably going to well, I mean, you
know, fiscally, he's going to be to the right of where Kevin McCarthy
was. Yep, Melanie, Uh, Melanie said in the chat room,
I got to clean this up a little bit, but she said, Uh,
can you imagine being pregnant for nine months, doing everything you can,
have a healthy baby, and Jim Jordan out Well, well, I assume
he didn't come out as Jim Jordan. You know, he had to grow
into that, says here. Jordan indicated he would proceed to a House floor
vote for speaker at noon tomorrow, regardless of whether he has to the two
seventeen he needs. Jordan told CNN today, quote, we will go to
the floor tomorrow. It's not about pressuring anybody. It's just about we've got
to have a speaker. You can't open the house and do the work of
the American people and help our dearest and closest friend Israel. If you don't
have a speaker unquote, well there's something we can agree on. The war
that broke out in Israel is one factor putting pressure on Republicans to break their
opposition to Jordan for the House to move on legislation to address the crisis.
Another is exasperation with the drawn out process of choosing a McCarthy replacement. Chatter
is also increased. Now this is interesting. I don't think this is going
anywhere, but it says. Chatter is also increased among moderate GOP members about
cutting a deal with Democrats to empower Speaker pro Tem Patrick McHenry of a Republican
of North Carolina, to move legislation of the House floor, or even work
with Democrats on another kind of compromise. Wagner wrote in her statement announcing support
for Jordan. Quote, too much is at stakedown control of the House over
to radical liberal Democrats, which is why we must elect a conservative as an
ex speaker unquote. Wilson McHenry, a conservative. Jordan, meanwhile, is
pushing a unity message, he wrote in a Dear Colleague letter to Republicans on
Monday, quote, the country and our conference cannot afford us attacking each other
right now. In one notable line, Jordan wrote, he would quote make
sure there are more Republican voices involved in our major decisions beyond the five families
unquote leaders of the That sounds very mob like leaders of the quote five families
the idiot. Yes. The five main ideological caucuses in the House GOP were
heavily involved in negotiations and discussions with McCarthy over various policy issues. This year.
Jordan was the founding chairman of one of those groups, the House Freedom
Caucus. See that's that tells you all you need to know. But that
that's very scary to me, Jim Jordan is it would be very dangerous.
As speaker, I firmly believe he'll take us right into a government shutdown,
and when the time comes, he will take us into default. Yeah uh
yeah, or or Biden can try to invoke the fourteenth again. This is
why the Democrats should have saved McCarthy. It just would have been the safer
option. I understand why they didn't, but they should have. They should
have sucked it up and just done it. Scott Robinson in the chatroom says
it's too bad the normal Republicans won't hold Jim Jordan hostage like those weirdos held
McCarthy hostage. Yeah, well that's the thing. Yeah, that's true,
Scott. It it it Uh, it's very very difficult. That is something
I've noticed just generally, and and I I think there's a couple of reasons,
but it is very difficult for moderate Republicans to stand up to uh,
to these House Freedom Caucus people who I think are very dangerous, you know,
I mean if they stand up to Jim Jordan. You know, Jim
Jordan is Trump's choice. So any of these people who stand up to Jim
Jordan or or say, uh, you know, we we oppose him,
you know, they run the risk of being given an insulting nickname and uh
and and Trump effectively ending their political careers. Because you know, once once
uh, once Trump decides he hates somebody, then you know everyone who's MAGA
is also expected to hate that person. And then you know, it's very
dangerous to to stand up to Jim Jordan. Uh in that way good will
come of him being a speaker. Yeah, I don't uh, yeah,
I don't feel good about any of this. It does say here again,
skipping down because we're almost at the top of the hour. Jordan is also
getting a boost from McCarthy, with whom he had become allies over the past
several years after challenging him for the oucp's top spot in twenty eighteen. While
the ousted speaker had voiced skepticism about the ability of Scalie to reach two hundred
and seventeen votes last week, he is now bullish on Jordan. McCarthy said
this morning, I'm sorry yesterday morning on Fox News quote, I feel very
good about where Jim Jordan is at now. That surprises me because I would
have thought McCarthy would feel better about Steve Scalise than Jim Jordan. But I
guess they were. McCarthy and Scalise were at odds a bit on some things.
That surprises me too, actually, But yeah, but I'm a little
bit surprised. But scary stuff. All right, we're gonna play. We're
gonna play a track. I think I might have seen a musician in the
hallway. I'm not sure, but if he's if I did not, I'm
sure he's arriving any moment. But we're gonna play something from This is called
put Me Under. This is from the band Sunset Electric. And we have
a guess who's gonna be uh gonna be joining us, Quincy Lord from the
band Sunset Electric. So let's give this a listen and then we'll show some

How are you, sir? I'm doing all right. How are you?
What's going on? Doing well? Doing well? And of course you
are here from the band Sunset Electric. That's the one I did play one
of your acoustics songs. I mean, I'm sorry, one of your solo
songs. Rather, at the top of the show today at four o'clock,
I played was it one night Stand? Oh yeah, that's a fun one.
Yeah, yeah, that's a really cool song. I usually open with
a try to find something you know, around five minutes to open the show,
and I found that. I was like, oh, I really like
that a lot. And of course today we're featuring music from your band,
Sunset Elect and uh, we're gonna play in a little bit that track that
the n uh in with two n's I N N and at least two you
could do seventeen. It doesn't really get the idea. Well then it would
be the end. But uh, yeah, I really uh, I really
like your band quite a bit. And uh and uh we should tell listeners
too. You brought your acoustic guitar. So looking forward to hearing you play
in a little bit too. Absolutely, that'll be very cool. I do,
yes, yes, tell me about uh, tell me about Sunset Electric.
What do you do in the band and uh? And who else is
in it with you? Yeah, So it's a fun project. We've been
going uh with this iteration of the band. Previously had been like the Quincy
Lord Band or something like that. Uh, We've been going for a little
more than a year like this. I write most of the songs. I
do the lyrics. Uh, But I'm one of four and a half people
in the band. We have a my musical co writer there. The big
one is uh just five, dear friend of mine. He Uh. We
played together for years as an acoustic duo, playing all the breweries and bars
and all that. I have Dan Morno on the bass guitar. We call
him Smiles. He love him on stage like he's just always the whole time,
big, big smile and a bunch of energy in the band comes from
our drummer, Al Francis. Uh. Justin and Al played together in a
Beatles tribute band for a long time, so we've all known each other.
The three of them were much closer as teenagers and I was kind of like
had met them and then you know, passed five eight years something like that.
We've known each other then. The half member we have a my friend
Justin mckinnessy played some keys on a record. Sometimes he pops up live.
Sometimes he doesn't, you know, so here you're not. We don't need
him, but when he's there, it's nice. It's nice. But yeah,
it's a great group. We all have a lot of fun playing together
and a lot of chemistry helps. You know. We're all friends and we're
kind of friend before we started doing this, and we've played in different bands
and iterations of this band together. So it's a lot of fun. We
do a lot of you know, alt rock. We try and have a
lot of energy. We love playing live. It's a good time. Yeah,
you've got a great sound. Great sound. If you have any questions
at all for Quincy questions or feedback or anything, the studio line is open
six O three two five oh six oh seven six O three two five oh
six oh seven. You can also text me at six one seven nine one
seven four four seven six. I'm on social media at Matt Connorton. You
can email me Matt at Matt connorton dot com. And of course you can
interact end Opine in the Facebook live chat, but give us a call.
The studio line is open six O three two five O six oh oh seven.
And looks like you've got some some fans. You're getting some love in
the chat room already. Tina Donovan joins us and gives a thumbs up.
Rachel Hall. I assume it's rachel Or. Maybe it's Chee Michelle Oh,
Rachelle Hall, Rochelle, Hi, Rochelle Hi, Tina Rochelle should be in
here. Yeah, Rachelle says, welcome Quincy. Uh do you know Hans
Smith from the on Sepsis? I'm familiar with my I believe my friend Zach
just joined that band recently. I haven't met anyone else from the band,
but uh okay, Yeah. Hans is in the chat room and says I
dig that music. Hell yeah, so he likes what you're doing. I
see Amy Raymond also in the Facebook live chat. Hello, Hello, Hello,
let's see. Yeah, so you're getting a lot of getting a lot
of support in there. That's good. Now do you still do are you
still doing the acoustic thing in terms of live shows, I mean the I
keep making that mistake the solo thing. Are are you still doing that and
the band or yeah? Absolutely? I uh you know it keeps it going,
and you know the relative of it is uh, you know. I
play music because I love playing music, but the band is really about the
creativity and the energy and writing music and sharing people when you know, creating
that moment. And if I'm being aus here like the acoustic thing will pay
the bills, ye going to bars. I'll play my own music, but
I also play covers and you know, play the game and do the thing.
So I do that. I'm a what kid? So I have this
week. I believe Friday I'm at tackle Box in Marlboro, Mass. Sunday,
I believe I'm at a frog brewing in Swansea. So yeah, I
play a lot of breweries around Hillsboro and Worcester Counties, and I have a
great time with it. And it's always an adjustment because I spent so long
playing acoustic solo and you have like this freedom to like, oh you have
an idea, like halfway through a song, you can just roll with it,
or you know, you forget a line and you're like, well,
I'm just going to play this cord and extra bar. I can't do that
with the band, you know. I get the dirty looks of like,
oh you mess this up, buddy, and I'm like, just just rolling.
It's going to be okay. So yeah, I still have that going.
It's a good thing. I'm actually going to be this winter doing a
solo record just because there's some songs I've written that don't necessarily fit with what
the band's doing. And uh, you know, we did that whole album
ourselves. We recorded it, mixed it, we mastered it, We did
everything on our own, so it's a big undertaking, you know, when
there was a learning process and a lot of fun. But like, if
I do an acoustic record, like there can be a lot less going on,
it'll be less daunting. Yeah, and there's gonna be some acoustic versions
of songs from this record too, so yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, but I always like to have multiple projects going. I love
all sorts of genres and music, and yeah, I don't want to be
pigeonholed, you know, to one thing right right, which I think is
wise. Rhianna snow Cone snow Cone McCartney in the chat room says, Quincy,
can I get your number? Oh my, oh my, yes,
And that's my partner of the last eight years or so. But whenever she's
at a show and she's works at this bar where I play, and I
always make a big scene of asking her for her number and trying to embarrass
her in front of people. And yeah, it's always so this is her
trying to get back at me. I gotcha. I gotcha. By the
way, have you ever met anyone else with the name Quincy? It's not
a name. Actually once one time and my partner is very excited to introduce
us because she had met someone and it was a two month old baby that
was named Quincy. And she's like, there it is. But it's one
of those names, you know, where it's unique enough that people always have
to like, oh, the one other Quincy they've heard. Like people come
up all the time like, oh, Quincy Jones or doctor Quincy or John
Quincy. Adams is like, people, Quincy, you know Quincy Jones.
What's going on? I'm like, leave me alone. Yeah, it's just
not a name. You hear a lot, I hear it a lot.
Yeah, justin fife is in the chatterman says, I'll give you his number.
I have it. There you go that that would be my bandmate.
Yes, Now what does he do in the band again? He plays guitar,
he sings. He's one of those annoying people who has perfect pitch.
So like I let him do all the harmonies, and I'm like, okay,
you sound good and do things in one take all take my time,
right right. He's wonderful and he used to before Al joined a band,
he was actually our drummer. So he's a oh mayn of many talents.
Oh gee, So he's got a perfect pitch and he can play multiple instruments,
and he's pretty annoying. If you're like, all right, one hundred
and twenty six ppm, he'll get it pretty close. And I'm like,
this away, it's like a prodigy. Damn. Well he's jealous of I'm
funnier though, so it's okay, well there you go. So it balances
out. Now. I'm a I play bass and I can play a little
bit of guitar, but I'm always super jealous of people who can like play
multiple instruments, and likewise, I have perfect pitch and then the whole deal.
Uh yeah, Justin says, oh shucks. Now, where does the
name come from? Sunset Electric is there? It sounds like a name that
would have a story behind it a little bit. So actually, I'm going
to be tell the truth here, possibly to my bandmate chagrin that there's the
four of us with voting power. Again, Justin McInnis less important, doesn't
have voting power. Yeah, I got out voted on the band name on
this one. So oh. There had been a song I wrote called sun
Sylllectric and it was a story about a It was basically the idea was that
sun Sylllectric was an imaginary club and it's a song about going out, dancing
and coming out and just it's a fun song. But the name of the
song was sun Sylllectric and my bandmates were like, hey, you know,
they don't make a pretty good band name, and I'm like, yeah,
but this isn't a song I want. You know, like, if you
listen to a band the first time, like okay, you listen to like
their top songs on Spotify or whatever, and then you look up the one
if you see one that has their band name, you're like, oh,
let's check this out. It's usually their worst song, like Black Sabbath is
Black Sabbath, don't want to hear it right, And I'm like, this
isn't a song. I like the song. It's a lot of fun.
I don't want to represent a band, so I had to change the lyrics
to that song. Oh, which is now on the record has let Me
Fall okay, which is fine. So anyways, that's where it came from.
It was like my idea for like an imaginary club. It's just an
idea I had. It was a weird song. It was a little different
for our vibe. But uh that that's how it came to be. So
you say you got out voted, So did you have a different band name
in mind? I love rejected band name. It's just so much fun.
My partner has the great list of them here. But the ones off top
I had the name for the record. Graffiti Hearts was one that we had
talked about for a while. We also went to the Centro. I was
one I really liked. Which is the botanical name for bleeding hearts. Oh,
I'm pointing out my arm for all you people who aren't watching. Yeah,
there's a tattoo at my arm doesn't look like that naturally, but I
was of the opinion that that's not too marketable. Also kind of sounds like
a hardcore band. Yeah yeah, people wouldn't know how to spell it noess
right, that's so I'm like, all right, we gotta keep it simple.
And some sat electric like took a little while to get used to,
because at first people usually think like, are they saying that wrong? Like
those words don't make sense together. But yeah, now it's just you know,
natural to hear. Yeah, yeah, And I like the logo.
Who designed the logo. I have a friend beca Minnie that works at a
North Point printing and her coworker Nick, she she she was at one of
my shows and she was like, hey, like, you guys need some
merch And I'm like, well, yeah, but we haven't gotten there yet,
and she's like, I'll hook you up and so excuse me. Her
friend Nick went and designed that for us, and yeah, it's really cool.
I like the two fonts together. Yep, it's just a cool thing.
So we got fortunate with a you know, kindness of a stranger.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that always helps absolutely And where so now tell
me about the album. So it's called what is it again? Graffiti Graffiti
Hearts, Graffiti Hearts. Yeah, yeah, So I'm very excited for this
record. It's a it's a combination of songs that I had written in years
past and it never done anything with or didn't quite have them finished, and
maybe like half the songs that were actually written for the record, But it's
been great to hear how they you know, change and come to life with
this iteration of the band. And like I said, some of the songs
like the end that we were talking about that you're playing for the very first
time today, they're excited when we wrote that. Justin Fife, my guitar
player now with the perfect pitch and all annoying in that was my drummer.
So it's just me and him and our blast player Dan just jamming out and
it just kind of came about. But then watching you know, what al
my current drummer did with a song was just very cool to see how it
changed and everyone adding their flavors to it. Because a lot of these songs
I come in and I've already written them, start to finish and yeah,
you know, and I love the whole process. I love the mixing and
mastering and all that. I hear a lot of times when I'm writing.
Though I'm hearing like the finished song, I'm like, okay, I know
what everything needs to do. And that's part of compromise with having a band,
is like, ye, you can't be that much of a jerk and
be like all the time, I'm gonna get some comments from my band here,
but can't always you know, you have to let them do their thing.
Sure, but it's fun. And then there were some of the songs
like dark Waves is one. I believe I had sent you over a lot
of fun because Okay, I have like an idea for a song and then
I, you know, I demoed part of it and played my bad drums
on the E kit and brought to the band were like okay, well and
then everyone just got you know, kind of free rein to do their thing.
And it's way cooler because they did, because yeah, they did way
different stuff than I would have come up with, and that, you know,
I think that's important when you're making music. But Dumb School has a
lot of themes of uh, there's themes of nostalgia. There's a lot of
me complaining about my mental illnesses and such, which you know, I think
is important to share and put into words. And then you know, just
to break the tension, there's a couple of songs they're just on there for
fun. So yeah, I think it's a good mix. I like when
you know, I like my own music. What can I say? Like,
I'm trying to make music that I want to hear so and hopefully that
other people want to hear also. So I'm very excited for it. And
you know, we're working on new songs for the next one. But uh
yeah, Now when does Graffiti Arts come out? It's not out yet right
right, We don't have the exact date. I believe we're aiming for November
twenty eighth. Though the hold up has been the album art. I'm terrible
at procrastinating things. I've been so focused on, you know, the mix
and the songs and the part, the creative part I really like, Yeah,
and so that kind of took a back seat. But yesterday we went
and actually took the photos. Okay, so now we just need to decide.
You know, there was just a somewhere in Western mass this abandoned warehouse
full of graffiti and stuff, and I'm like, all right, this is
this is the right vibe for this. Let's and so we went there and
took a bunch of photos and had a good time. All the classic things
happened. Cop showed up. There was a really h yeah, there's a
big white deer with the great antlers that like ran through the place. As
we're there, We're like, don't stab us, but good to see you.
Oh wow. At the same time as the cop showed up too,
so we're like, it might have like east attention there, but were they
chasing the deer? One? I think it's pretty normal that people go to
that abandoned warehouse. They were cool. They were like all right, take
your pictures and go home. We're like, all right, yep, yeah,
yeah, they were very nice. Oh that's good. That's good.
Yeah. Rachelle in the chatroom says Quincy is a fabulous musician and person live,
either acoustic or with his band, even just hanging out with live sans
music is excellent. His favorite word is that true? That's your favorite work.
I don't think I've heard of you say it once yet today. Well,
it's an excellent word. At the very least, there you go.
That's very very sweet of Youelle. Yes, and Tina Donovan is asking can
you pre order the album? Yeah, I'll be posting all that info once
we have it, little patience. Yeah, well, you know, I
mean it's it's a lot of work. People don't realize how much work it
is. I mean, it isn't you know. There's only so much you
can outsource for you. It depends on how much control you want to have,
right. Oh yeah, I you know, I want to learn,
as in the early seasons here, I want to learn as much as I
can about the whole process. So yeah, I'm like, well, let's
uh, let's do as much of his as we can ourselves. I'm you
know, I'm probably gonna do pay for some you know, campaigning and promotion
just to help push it out into the world. But yeah, it's been
a fun process. I'm very excited for it. Yeah yeah, cool,
Well, brought your guitar, do you want to play something for us?
And then and then in a little bit we'll do the premiere of the Inn,
which I'm looking forward to sharing with everybody. A great track, but
also very very much looking forward to hearing you play live in studio with us
if you're just joining us. Quincy Lord is here. He is live in
studio. We've been talking about not only his his solo stuff, but of
course he's in a fabulous band, an excellent band, I should say,
Sunset Electric and uh, we've been playing some of their tunes too. But
he brought his guitar and what are you what are you gonna play for a
squincy? So this is a song. How can you hear me? Like?
This? Second? Perfect? Perfect? Great? So this is I
believe this is an opening track to the record something I should know. Uh.
This one is called at Liss and it's a song I wrote. One
of those songs that came out pretty quickly. You know there's some that like
I hammered away at on off for years, or you do a bit and
then you pick it up later. It's one of those ones that's just like,
okay, like a day or two. I just kind of hammered it
out. It's called Atlas. It's about my ADHD and anxiety and not just
what a mess it kind of makes in my life, but my concerns with
it and with the medication of it, and also how it affects those around
me and kind of being honest with myself about that. So yeah, it
doesn't mean I'm gonna make any changes about it. But right, but all
right, I hear a sigh every time I drift away my thoughts could hide
and the worst side off the boot page I can lost in space and my
trying to break freeth anon. It's not easy putting up when I interrupt their
minds. I forgotten anyway, count in my guilt what he asks if by
boucat so I shove it to wait, let Alice on and on ontil it
leave out saying the fars of our homes not much I I enjoy since a
numbness built the boy. Well, I just can't hide. Try up off
the sleep it's spent hunting to me. My friend has these pills. I
know she's just try him to help. No, but I'm afraid selling me
less of myself. Mister my ma guess somewhere inside me, let's seeing maintain
I say, wakes up bees peace, And there's the bosting in my head.
Thou won't stop until I'm dead. Then a thing to once gets clost
to me this ropin peace of minds? Will I repeat ween not? What
is me, what is my ses? It's been hen into me? Well,
I'm lost that so it's spaking to me and I can ask for help.
No, well, I'm not adless. It's whetty cool guitar solo is
springing in my ears. That ben happen me is there's a trouble that can
sucks this symphon name and it's broken. Peace of nice while I be between
the lines, all love one is me? One is my disease? It
spenhidding to me. Well, I'm lost my it's spen heetding to me,
and I can't ask for help. So I'm not myself that I'm not auss.
No, I'm not maself. Let him not out loss. Well I'm
not adless. Well love that Wow, very nice? Thank thank you.
You need a hand, No, I got it. Quincy's headphones fell off
while he was while he was singing. He was really into it. The
headphones kind of kind of went it went backwards. Well done. That was
fantastic. I love that. I love thank you, Thank you. That's
really good. That's really good. I'd enjoyed watching the headphones comically and slowly
fall off my head. That was great. If you're just joining us we
have Quincy Lord in studio with us, and now that's that's gonna be on
the Sunset Electric album. Graffiti Hearts that is, it's a bit noisier and
a lot more guitar stuff going on. It's a came out very much like
a Gaslight Anthem song if you're familiar at all, but uh, yeah,
it's gonna be on the record. It's a very fun song and like I
said, it's for me. It's a song that's very vulnerable and open about
yeah, myself. So that's an important one, you know, again,
trying to balance out the songs they're just fun and the ones that, like
you know, make you feel things. I'm like, all right, let's
yeah, yeah, no, I got Youah. DJ Steve is in the
Facebook live chat and says, Hi, Matt, this is great of course
from retrospect from radio with poly C on Friday nights, but he's really enjoying
you. And Legion of Solace in the chat room says when the album comes
out, send us the links and will help you get the word out.
Very nice, Yeah, much appreciated, very kind of you. Well,
I think what we should do now is because it's going to be about four
to thirty. I think we should are five thirty rather. Sorry I'm in
the wrong time zone. I think we should go ahead and do the world
radio premiere of this track the end Now? Is this the first single from
the upcoming album this Is and the officially it's coming out Wednesday and all your
streaming platforms excellent. Yeah, it's a good one. Do you want me
to talk about the song now or after? Oh? Yeah, go ahead,
and anything you want us to know about it now, go ahead.
Yeah. You know, it's just a fun song, like we kept it
simple. It's kind of we have a lot of fun playing this live.
It's one of those ear hooks that very early on our audience, you know,
starts sing along too, and that's nothing feels better than you know,
when you're a young band watching people sing along to the songs. But it's
you know, it's about a bit of desperate race, you know what's inspired
by this time. I won't tell the whole story, but my friend and
I were like hiking through Vermont and uh ended up at this Uh his foot,
he hurt his foot. It was downpouring, we were lost, and
we ended up knocking on a door and uh, woman who became a good
friend of ours. Tamra I answered the door and uh just looked us in
the eyes. She's like, you know, we're two, we're probably eighteen
nineteen at the time, and here's a you know, sing a mom home
with two kids. And we're like, oh, we like we knocked on
a door looking for shelter we didn't know, and uh yeah, We're like,
no, we'll go somewhere else nowhere, and she just looks us in
the eye. She's like, look, meny and tell me I can trust
you. When we're like yeah, and so anyways, like it's not a
direct the song's not directly about that, but that's the inspiration. Just like
looking for a place to go, a place where you can uh rest your
bones. Yeah, yeah, very cool, very cool. All right,
So this is called the Inn. This is Sunset Electric, and this is
UH on the upcoming album Graffiti Hearts. But this will be out on you
said Wednesday. It's very good, so you're hearing it here first, my
friends. This is the world radio premiere. This is great. Check this
out from friends. Probably the dark, dark place we've all given to the
blind weekend. We oh nah, nothing can soul for asses through the wet
you're seeing the control. That's a worse sing wethon that you just said.
But steel casting things are not saying about the hole and filling wacked the balls
wacon. My ballastic goes through the wacon, waking my bo castles to as
contract talk to the time. Then things just to be sad, but out
of the way. I alone. I've been searching for a home, pleased
to call my own on my home? Did you meet you this road?
Where can I lay my elbows when I can? That is so good?
That is called the inn. The name of the band is Sunset Electric.
That will be out on the streaming platforms on Wednesday. So you just heard
it for the first time right here on Matt Connor to no ut least.
We are live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three
FM. Jenny is here, of course, at the news desk with us,
and on the couch. He's holding his guitar because I asked him if
he'll play another one. Quincy Lord from the band Sunset Electric is here with
us in studio, and what do you want to play for us? Quincy?
I'm gonna play you a song I put out on a record a couple
of years ago called Songbird Blues. All right, it's a gotta lower this
for the guitar and this song how it's fine, irony is. It's a
song I wrote about writer's block. Yeah, having such a hard time writing
a song, and you know, I guess it solved itself an inspiration from
this song poem. There's a I believe it's a sounger poem called a Girl
I Knew, and there's a line in it about she wasn't doing anything I
could see except standing there on the balcony holding the universe together. And you
know that line is kind of what brought this song about. So yeah,
it's a cool thing. But yeah, some bird inspiration, it's just too
worthy. Days A prone, so tired and not too pron to run away.
Still, I tell myself when I'm playing my songs, I could say
the stakes, let the feeling slip away in conversation. My songue has a
mamat. There's no sensation when I let my fingers glide across these springs.
I only hear mistakes. Every word I said is out on place, and
the clock is shown me its face. She sings, Please lain late later
nights on the balcony obsessed dressing lights that opposed me through because happened west in
light one of us. It seems to pull me back to light. Wells
he to okay, I hold her clothes as I try to sing, oh
no, as I try to sing, oh no. And it's down this
river. Well, once I came to pray, I find my SPoD here
nelscotes have gone away. And then as night where we always hide the tart
as rich a ben trying to fight. Oh my god, in light A
song bird from a midnight glass of wine seems so tired, So she is
so kind? Well could she be mine? Songbird? Beating line she sings,
please lay late later and night? Oh no, balcony obsessed rest in
words, let it post me through because I burned, wasting light for the
voice it sings the poot, that's light. What was the issue? I
can now holds? I got try to sing a long home was sh My
song but sings the blues. My song bird sings the boots. My song
perd sings my song versings, so I can sue the song but blues.
Oh my god, I love that. That was awesome. That is fantastic.
I hope you enjoyed my head. Well you're nothing if not consistent.
Yeah, that's funny. Things have happened. No, that that is a
great song, dude, I love that. I love that. If you're
just joining us, we have a Quincy Lord here with us live in studio.
Uh. He is from the band Sunset Electric and he also has some
solo material. That was one of his solo songs that he's just played for
us, and that is great. Ryan Glenn Hirsch in the Facebook live chat
says whoop and uh Rachelle says wow with a couple three actually exclamation points.
So very good. Is when you when you play out solo because you mentioned
you know, obviously you do some covers when you play these various places,
I assume you mix in a few originals. Yeah. I usually, you
know, if it's a three hour set, I try and to at least
an hour of originals, But it depends on the day and some venues I
play, you know, they don't they don't pay for all the different royalties,
so it's a very limited set. I'm like, I'm just gonna play
originals here, like yeah, yeah, I don't want to go through the
bother of like, all right, what's be and my what's as cap?
Like I know what mine are? Yeah, yeah, exactly. I assume
that's one of them that you play out. Well, yeah, that's a
that's a great song. Now is there any crossover do any of your do
any of the songs from your solo material also end up in Sunset Electric?
Oh? Absolutely? We uh so there's none. We aren't. We haven't
like re recorded anything for another album, but yeah, definitely live we play
a lot of the solo material. I mean, like you listen to One
Night's Stand, which was the most stripped down from that album. Yeah,
there's a lot of you know, noisier stuff in there. But we play
a lot of those songs full band live because you know, we have them.
All ever knows the songs. And Justin Feiffe, my guitar player,
had played drums on about half of that record and harmonies and everything, because
why wouldn't I use perfect pitch boy right right right? Anybody else from Sunset
Electric who had played on your solo material or just Justin not at that point,
I h I played pretty much everything except for the drums. I had
my old drummer, Nikki played half of it, and Justin came in later
to play and did some harmonies. I think he did a couple of random
guitars and bass slayers too, but uh, at that point was just me.
But we did play Dan, Justin and I had, you know,
played for a while as the Quincy Lord band, just playing those songs.
Oh okay, but we never put the didn't put the same time and effort
into it as we have been doing since with this project. So yeah,
yeah, no, it's great. It's stuff. Now how many how many
songs do you have as a band with Sunset Electric? So we have ten
tracks that are going on this record, Okay, you know there's more we're
working on and something they're like, oh it's that song, you know,
like maybe someday, But yeah, it's those ten main songs. And I'm
looking forward to what we write in the future and what we're working on now,
because, as I started to say earlier, a lot of those songs
had already like kind of come to fruition for me before the band was even
involved, and you know, they added their flavorings and such. But I
look forward to the ones where I can come to the band with it less
filled out. You know, there's always those times you get an idea and
you're like, I know everything that's gonna happen, and it's like, guys,
fight me about it later, like we're doing it this way. You
just learn it this way and then change it later, like let's get the
idea out. But but I'm looking forward to seeing, you know, when
they have more influence onto writing and a lot of cool stuff comes about because
I can make songs that sound like me all day long, right while songs
that sound like Sunset electric right right exactly? And U and the album where
was it recorded? Because it sounds various basements of ours? Really? Yeah?
Yeah? So the drums, the drums are the only thing. We
had tracked most of those up at with A. H. Anthony Semino at
Mojo Studio, which is up in like East End if you remember where the
Old Man in the Mountain was, I throw a rock at it from there
pretty much. U. So we tracked some of the drums there, but
all the editing, all the other tracking, all the mixing we did ourselves.
You know, I've been fortunate to work with the past, with the
a few very talented engineers. Anthony's one of them, Chris Short, when
I was living in Orlando. I recorded with him at a Pack of Ranch
recording and he helped me with that the solo record. Both of them had
worked on that solo record that We Were You One Night Stand was from.
But you know, there's sometimes it's cool because, like I said, with
the band at your flavor, like it's even more so with the engineer because
if you go in without you know, entirely known to sound like by God,
like these guys will make it sound great. Any you know decent engineer
is going to be like, Okay, we have an idea, we'll make
it shine. But when you have an idea of how you want it all
to sound, that's when it's okay. It's frustrating sometimes when you don't have
the means. So that's why this record was like, I'm doing it myself.
I will spend hours on this one sound if I need to. I'm
not paying anyone. So yeah, I've really enjoyed the process of mixing and
that's something I absolutely love doing. It's nice too that we live in a
time where you can really do that, where you you know, you can
do something where it's it's largely DIY, but it sounds like it was done
in a million dollar studio, you know, I mean it really does.
It sounds it sounds fantastic. I appreciate the compliment. Yeah, yeah,
Well what about the mastering? Did you do that yourselves? Sir? H
yeah, Justin took care of that. My Wow, guitar player there,
Justin Fife mentioned him again. Wow. Yeah, No, it sounds sounds
fantastic. And and what went in that does to the decision to do a
full ten song album, because you know, we also live in an era
where there's different ways to approach it. Like like when I was growing up,
it was, you know, bands would you know, do a do
a full album and then go out on tour and then eventually record another album,
maybe an EP once in a while you'd see show up, but mostly
albums. But today you know, you can do you can do albums,
you can do EPs, you can just put out singles forever. You know,
there's there's so many different ways that artists approach it. Now, what
went into the decision to do a full album? Sure, you know,
I don't think it was. I don't think we ever considered any other way
to do it, you know, I love writing. I had the songs,
we only needed to write a few more songs for the record. And
yeah, even then, you know, there's you know, the shoebox trope
of like unfinished songs in like, I have so many of those. I
could pull out any point if I just needed, like, all right,
we need two more songs. It's record, let's see what's what's going to
fit and just flip through. But yeah, yeah, no, it's just,
uh, we wanted to do it. We wanted to. I like
to to I and I think most of my band also where people who like
to listen to an album start to finish, I want to go for the
ride and yeah, all my favorite albums, you know, you go start
to finish, like r EM's Automatic for the people, The Killer Sam Town,
Born to Run, Like its almost like start to finish. You're not
gonna find a bad song on them, like right, Uh, there's also
albums I love that there's songs I don't like on but regardless, I want
to go for the ride and you get more. I think you get more
diversely that way, Like there's definitely a few outliers on this album that I
you know, it's still cohesive, but it's it's a different flavor. It
gives you a break from the rest. Like you we heard put Me Under
and we heard the End. You know, a couple of those are they're
noisier, big guitars, like, more aggressive. There's a couple more laid
back ones. Got to play some piano and stuff in there. So yeah,
but I like to go for the ride and get the get the whole
picture route. And also I just I can't stop myself from writing, and
I just want to ask him, I make this a fifteen song album.
No, that's a great way of putting a though. Go for the ride.
I like that, and I think I think there are a lot of
people who feel that way, because, you know, ten years ago,
a lot of people in the industry said, you know, albums are dead.
You know, eventually we're going to get to a point where there will
not be any more albums. Everybody's just going to put out singles, and
and you know, here we are, and people are still making Like I
said, not everybody. You know, some people, actually, a lot
of people I've had on the show, they approach it like they put out
singles and then when they have enough singles, they take them and put them
into an album. But doing that strategy. But yeah, there are a
lot of artists who still, you know, they want to do the full
album. They want to you know, they want to kind of make that
statement. And are you going to have any physical discs or will it strictly
be online or no, we will we are going to be printing CDs.
A lot of people can be a hard time for that. Get Like,
you know, I've found and I've been hearing a lot about how vinyls or
you know, vinyl sales are going up and CDs had dropped so much as
it. Yeah, you know, I'm I'm going to be getting a new
car, and I all my friends have new cars and none of them have
CD players. Like you have to go it's now like having a Vinyl Like
you have to go out of your way to listen to a CD or to
install a CD bet deck back in your car. Right, and you know,
for the novelty of it, people at that point would rather do vinyl.
Now, yeah, vinyl is way too expensive to print. Yes,
so we're going to hold off on that one for now. But we are
going to have CDs because it makes me happy and a lot of people just
like having something, you know, how many apocalypse comes, you know,
you can find the battery powered like CD player and you know, listen to
it as the world's burning. Well, it's fun to have the artwork and
the liner notes and oh absolutely, yeah. Yeah. And with vinyl,
I what I think is too a lot of people, probably most people,
if I had to guess who do buy vinyl, they don't. They never
open it because they're not going to play it. They just want it because
you know, they really love that artist, and it's a it's a way
to sort of it becomes like a collector's item. They want to collect what
that artist is putting out. But yeah, I've heard it's very cost prohibitive,
Like yeah, you know, it's a big investment. Well, I
find if you can if your band is large enough to do like a big
run of them, like if you're going to be getting a thousand or more,
like then you're fine. If you're smaller than that and you're trying to
print like the thirty you might sell like you're gonna have to be selling them
for you know, too expensive to be fair to your fans, right right,
Yeah, So it is what is I never understood the collector mentality.
Honestly, it's just not the way I am. Like, I accept other
people live their lives differently than me, and that's perfectly fine. But uh,
I don't have a I don't have an LP. I haven't played you
know, if I'm gonna buy and I'm gonna put it on, and I
like to buy and support. You know, there's a lot of my favorite
bands aren't huge, and like I want to support them. And I think
that's also why people will buy our many CDs and merch when they're ready to
support us so we can make another record. And you know, I try
and be that person also for the bands love. So there you go.
Mike Lachlan, a very talented musician, is in the Facebook live chat and
Mike says, is that my brother. I don't know if you know Mike
Lachlan, but you do look a lot like him. That's weird. It
didn't occur to me till he said that, But yeah, you could easily
be related to him. I'll show you after the show. I'll show you
a picture of him on my phone. Although in the picture I think he's
wearing a hat, but he's accept I'm not wearing a hat, but yeah,
but but you do look you even kind of talk alike a little bit.
It's weird. And Melany La Liberty says, I'm like that too.
When I buy underwear from prison inmates, I never open them. I just
let them marinate for years. Yeah, we all have hobbies, that's right,
that's right, different strokes for different folks. I guess well we are.
We are almost out of time, so we are going to play one
more studio track, dark Waves, another great song that you sent us to
play today. But I want to make sure people know. So, so
when's day the single comes out? The end on all these streaming platforms yep,

at some point. Oh yeah, they're playing with us on we We played
with them a bunch of time. They're playing with us at the Shaskin.
Oh, very cool, very cool. You know what I love about them.
