We open the show with a song
called One night Stand from and see

16
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,359
Lord's solo album past the midnight hour. I figured i'd play one of his

solo tracks to open the show,

also from the gray state of Vermont, of course, says, hey guys.

33
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
EAZYG says, a little bit of
sugar makes the medicine go down.

34
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:14,759
I believe it's a spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down, EASYG.

35
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:20,240
Not to nitpick. Tom Blanchard says, Happy Motor Monday everyone. I didn't

36
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,360
know it was Motor Monday. Do
you know that. I don't know it's

37
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,039
Motor Monday. Monday, Happy Motor
Monday are celebrating engines. I have no

38
00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:32,319
idea. Well, that doesn't help
get your motor running on the highway.

39
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,759
Jenny, I see you're in the
Facebook live chat and said shalom, peeps,

40
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240
I am everywhere. John Hopwood is
in the Chatterman says, I'm never

41
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,479
sure if I'm pronouncing this correctly.
Is it sam Ain sam Hain, Samarron?

42
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,960
Really yeah, Samorrow, something like
that, Samian Samarron. Isn't there

43
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,439
an EM in there? There's no
R in there, that's for sure,

44
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:58,159
can't be Samarron. I said an
R yeah, Samarron usually lingo. I

45
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:00,960
don't know. I don't know how
to say that, but it is only

46
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,719
a fortnight away apparently, And how
long is the fortnite yet? I don't

47
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:09,879
know, we don't Uh, this
is John twenty four hours. Wait,

48
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,960
isn't it the twenty second John?
You gotta speak American around here? Please?

49
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,759
My goodness, he went, my
goodness, Oh Texas. Mike is

50
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:23,680
on the Facebook live chat and says, listening while doing my laundry? Yes,

51
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,040
well, you know, our very
expensive demographic research shows that a lot

52
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,959
of our listeners do their laundry while
listening to the show. I thought they

53
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:31,839
were driving home when they were listening
to the show. A lot of them

54
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:34,519
are, but a lot of them
are doing their laundry. Thirty eight percent

55
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,680
of our listenership is cleaning their clothing
while listening to us. It's it's well.

56
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,800
A part of that is we're very
popular in dry cleaners. A lot

57
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,360
of their dry cleaners like to listen
to us while the while they work.

58
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:54,959
Melanie says, did you say Tracy
Lord? I thought that would be a

59
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,959
Matt Connorton unsheathed kind of guest.
No, no, no, Quincy Lord,

60
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:03,160
not Tracy Lord. Tracy Lord is
a Tracy Lord might have appeared in

61
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:08,519
a in a certain kind of film, at one time that one of those

62
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:11,839
people my friends and I in high
school might have watched on a VHS tape.

63
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,240
But no, a Quincy lord is
is our guest today coming in later?

64
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:21,279
Yes, Melanie says, uh,
fortnite is three weeks I believe.

65
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:28,519
Okay, so three weeks until sam
Hayin or whatever. I don't know how

66
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,160
this works, all this witchcraft.
It's very frightening. Yeah. No,

67
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,000
it's Samayan, isn't it? Or
Simon Man, Now you get me almost

68
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,399
much. Jfed must be doing laundry. Clearly he's referring to laundry. He

69
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,399
says, I just put a load
in. Oh my, And Melanie says

70
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:49,279
one of those people that sounds judgy. Ah, yes, who you are?

71
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,759
Oh no, I said one of
those people. Yes I did,

72
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,839
I admit it. Yes, what
are you gonna do now? Melanie six

73
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:02,600
O three two five seven is a
studio aligned six three two five six seven.

74
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,279
You have you have had a busy
day. I have had a busy

75
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:15,399
day. Yes. Actually I had
a meeting with one of Senator Passion's senior

76
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,759
healthcare policy AIDS and it was very
productive. It was a very good meeting,

77
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:23,839
and I really felt very heard to
be honest. But what's going on

78
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,519
is the Senate Finance Committee. This
is in DC not conquered. The Senate

79
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,519
Finance Committee is going to hold a
hearing Wednesday, So there wasn't a whole

80
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:36,879
lot of time to prepare for this, and it's a hearing that's going to

81
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:43,920
be talking about how the insurance companies
who are selling Medicare advantage plans are using

82
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,839
deceptive practices to sign people up.
For example, we know a New Hampshire

83
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:54,279
resident who had somebody sign them up
over the phone. But the person with

84
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,519
somebody who has autism and needs help
with these kind of decisions, but this

85
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,959
age or what have you is able
to cold call them and call them over

86
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,680
the phone talk them into signing up. And thankfully the people who take care

87
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,000
of this person had that come forward
and found out what happened and they were

88
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:15,160
able to undo it before it got
stuck, like they were able to undo

89
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,279
it that day. But for anybody
else, you know, once you're signed

90
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,000
up, that's it. There's no
second bite at the apple. You're stuck.

91
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,240
So and they're also they used to
acceptive practices. They you know,

92
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:28,439
try and tell you, oh,
you're gonna get a free pair of glasses

93
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,120
every year, and then if you
want kids version first year lenses for a

94
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,000
preschooler, sure they'll pay for the
lenses. Otherwise they don't pay for I

95
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:43,199
know this because I just went through
it. And anyway, this the hearing

96
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:47,839
is also to try and start to
get the Senate talking about the issues going

97
00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:50,920
on with Medicare. Advantage number one, it shouldn't be allowed to call medicare.

98
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:56,360
It's a posts. You know,
it doesn't operate like medicare. It's

99
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,879
not covering things like medicare. They
shouldn't be able to use that word and

100
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,639
trick people. So this hearing is
really important in that, and I wish

101
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,120
more people would come forward and share
their stories of what's happened with them with

102
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:11,839
Medicare, because the only way that
we can get these rules enforced is if

103
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:16,439
we bring them the cases and the
evidence to show them that the existing rules

104
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,600
and laws don't work or that things
need to be changed. Like you guys

105
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120
might remember, I told you I
shared a while back, not long ago,

106
00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:31,040
about my data Farberg breast cancer checkup
bill coming in and the insurance splitting

107
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,120
it into two claims, making part
of it in network and part of it

108
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,960
out of network, right, So
that's not supposed to happen, so we

109
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,960
think, But here it did.
Here it happened to me, and I

110
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,440
was being told that I was on
the hook for money that I really shouldn't

111
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,759
because Medicare says that momography checkups are
supposed to be covered one hundred percent.

112
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,960
That's a Medicare rule. So CMS
needs to enforce these rules. And we

113
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,440
need to tell our elected folks what's
going on in the real world if we're

114
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,919
going to get them to do anything
about it. This hearing is to me

115
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,399
an opening a chance to give them
a touch of what we've got for evidence

116
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,399
to show that they need to rain
this stuff in. I mean, you

117
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,759
guys know, I'm not shy about
the fact that I want to see a

118
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,200
national health care policy. But in
the very least, we need to start

119
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,320
making sure that these in private for
profit insurance companies who are pocketing our premiums.

120
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:31,759
Moneys set aside for Medicare are being
taken and given to these private for

121
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:37,759
profit insurance companies and they are pocketing
it as profit. Meanwhile, people are

122
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,639
across the country don't get their care. I've been fighting with them over in

123
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:46,480
infusion and they don't want to pay
a few hundred dollars or six hundred whatever

124
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:52,240
dollars for my infusion. But they
made over eight billion dollars in profit in

125
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,000
the first three months of this year
alone. They're pocketing your premiums and they're

126
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,240
taking money out of Medicare Trust.
These dollars are going to them to buy

127
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,519
yachts or trips or whatever the heck
the elitists want to do. You know

128
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,080
that, I know that. Meanwhile, we're out here banging on the doors,

129
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,120
going please give me the medicine.
I don't want to die. And

130
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:15,159
the only way this changes is if
we share our stories, we come forward,

131
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:20,440
we talk to our senators. So
that's I spent today actually speaking to

132
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,080
one of the staffers in DC.
They are going to bring forward a lot

133
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,519
of the information that we brought.
I wasn't alone, there were other people

134
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,399
in the meeting with me, But
I intend on on paying attention to this

135
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,440
hearing and hearing what they have to
say. I want to point out,

136
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,200
though, something I found out that
I was very disappointed in is that this

137
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,360
Senate hearing that's going to discuss the
sefter practices and the practices of how these

138
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:50,399
Medicare advantage policies are advertised, does
not include a single patient as a person

139
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:54,279
who's going to come in and speak. The people that they invite to come

140
00:10:54,279 --> 00:10:58,000
in and speak are apparently these are
people who work in the healthcare industry.

141
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,039
These are the very people that are
pocketing the money they're going to get to

142
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,200
go testify, But no patients are
getting to go testify. And that's wrong.

143
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,320
Anytime there's healthcare being discussed in Washington, DC, it should involve patients,

144
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:16,759
the very people being discussed, not
these people who go home to million

145
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:22,440
dollar homes and never have to worry
about an aspirin. They don't know for

146
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:26,240
nothing. They're not the ones out
there scared to death. They're gonna die

147
00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,200
because they can't get access to care. We are, and we need to

148
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480
speak up far more if we expect
changes, because this is happening in the

149
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,879
United States. This is not happening
in other countries. Other countries look at

150
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:43,399
us horrified. Oh my god,
you ruin people's credit on healthcare. Oh

151
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,159
my god, you'll let that child
die. It's the number one cause of

152
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,360
personal bankruptcy in the United States.
Healthcare medical bills exactly exactly, and the

153
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,200
only, and we need our voices
in DC big time. They shouldn't beholding

154
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:03,919
I'm a I'm angry. I'm upset
that they hot a hold a hearing on

155
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,039
this and they're not going to talk
to the very people that get ripped off

156
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:13,399
or get signed up into these policies
and now they're locked out of their healthcare.

157
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,639
They find out after the fact they've
lost every one of their providers because

158
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,639
they're quote unquote not in network.
Traditional Medicare doesn't do that to you.

159
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,799
Medicare is Medicare. It's accepted everywhere
that Medicare is accepted. There's no in

160
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,360
network. It's all in network.
So we're along road from getting any of

161
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:37,679
this done. But I hope that
you guys will seriously consider writing to your

162
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,960
senators. If you need help reaching
out on anything, contact me. I

163
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,279
would love to help you get involved
and be a voice after the Winter in

164
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,440
the chatroom says a great topic after
the winter, of course, one of

165
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,240
our recent musical guests, Yeah,
and also says, hey, that desk

166
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,440
looks familiar. What's up? And
also Legion of Solid Sedge Simmer Facebook live

167
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:03,120
chat Hey guys, and Ronda Favero
from the Great State of California points out,

168
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:07,200
we never get a seat at the
table. Well, I'm working on

169
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:13,000
that. Yeah, I need your
help. Yeah, I mean that is

170
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:16,480
a that is a great point.
It does seem like patients are the last

171
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,320
to be heard from. Unfortunately.
Part of this, too is that when

172
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,240
we talk about what happens in healthcare
and people getting denied care, do you

173
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:30,919
know in New Hampshire we have the
highest rate of denials in care of any

174
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,759
other New England state. We're number
one. I didn't realize that we are.

175
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:39,360
We are also pretty pretty much up
at the top of having the largest

176
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:46,759
out of pocket deductibles to meet.
We paid the higher amount in premiums,

177
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,720
you know, and what do you
get for it? Right? Only one

178
00:13:52,840 --> 00:14:00,440
percent of people who have their their
claim denied actually try to appe heal it

179
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:03,960
because the process is so daunting and
so monstrous to a lot of people that

180
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,840
they don't feel like they can take
it on right, which is why,

181
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:11,240
like I say, come to me, I'm not even kidding. I've got

182
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,320
organizations who have people that are waiting
to help you get the care that you

183
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,320
need and the care that you deserve, to get you paid into this system

184
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,799
you promised that you were going to
have this on the other end. Yeah,

185
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,320
and now they're trying to wipe it
out from under us, and there's

186
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,759
stuff and more profits into the CEOs
and the stockholders of United Healthcare and Signa

187
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840
and Anthem, oh and Anthem Blue
Cross. They're going to change their name

188
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:37,200
again. By the way, did
I tell you that? No? Yeah,

189
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,879
Elevants is their new name Elevants because
you know the best way to hide

190
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,039
from your horrible past is to change
your name. Well, that is true.

191
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,080
Yeah, it's all like they haven't
done that before. That is a

192
00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:52,960
classic tactic. Absolutely. So we're
gonna have this new company coming in.

193
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,399
You're gonna go, oh, new
company, Elevants. Nope, Blue Cross,

194
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:00,120
Blue Shield, anth them new name, same peeps. U. This

195
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,279
is in the Facebook live chat and
it says sounds like we are getting rid

196
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,399
of the weakest, poorest, sickest
people in New Hampshire. Well, it

197
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,759
is part of the game, right
because the health insurance companies, that's what

198
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:16,000
they would prefer you, as we
always say on the show, and not

199
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,720
everyone is as blunt about it.
I'm not sure why, because this is

200
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,039
a simple reality when you are when
they're getting your premiums, whether you're paying

201
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,679
them directly or whether your employer is
paying them. Uh, you're you know

202
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,759
you're you're a profit for them.
Absolutely. But as soon as you actually

203
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:37,480
need to use your health insurance,
if something catastrophic happens, now you're no

204
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:41,240
longer you're no longer an asset,
You're now a liability. You're now costing

205
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:46,039
the insurance company money. So ultimately, the insurance company would prefer that you

206
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,120
die. Yes, it is a
business. We have a commodified healthcare system.

207
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,679
They would prefer that you die.
They only make money when you don't

208
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,879
get care, right, if you're
sucking up that money, you're too expensive.

209
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,080
Yeah, they want to get rid
of you. And there are plenty

210
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,360
of people out there, and I've
heard horror stories of people saying that they're

211
00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:10,279
Once they got really sick, their
denials started coming in more and more frequent.

212
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:14,320
Of course, more denials, more
medications, all we're not going to

213
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,840
cover that met anymore more things along
those the lines, putting their lives more

214
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:21,759
and more in jeopardy until they finally
die. This is the way insurance works.

215
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Insurance works like a swimming pool.
Everybody in. If you're healthy,

216
00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:30,320
I'm making money. The minute you
start costing money, you're diverting that money

217
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,279
away from their pool, so they
don't want that. We have a call.

218
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,840
Hi, Welcome to Matt Connorton Unleashed. Who's this? Oh wow,

219
00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:45,919
it's Paulie paul See from Retrospecial Radio
with poly Cu. What's up? You

220
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,240
know? Jen? It's funny because
not more than twenty minutes ago, I

221
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:55,240
just got up the phone with my
doctor's office because they the insurance company,

222
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,000
put me on a new inhaler.
They took me off at inhaler from my

223
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,679
asthma that has been working just fine
for the past ten years, and they

224
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,680
all of a sudden up and change
it on me to a new inhaler that

225
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:08,960
does not work. Oh and it
wasn't my doctor that did that. It

226
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,039
wasn't any practitioner that did that.
It was the insurance company that made that

227
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,720
decision. So now I'm fighting with
my doctor's office letting them know that I

228
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,000
need to get back on the original
Hailer in haler though I was on,

229
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:26,640
and they're not checking with a head
doctor. They're checking with the insurance company

230
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,720
to see if I can have my
old inhaler back, which is kind of

231
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,960
scary and frightening and sucks. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, I mean they

232
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:40,240
can absolutely give you the prescription.
You know, it's a but you know,

233
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,279
if you end up in this situation
and you want some help, I

234
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:47,839
know some people out there that are
willing to help people fight their insurance companies

235
00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:49,640
to get the care, the the
medications that they need. And I'm not

236
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,799
even kidding. Theo's two main organizations, People's Action and Be a Hero,

237
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,160
both of which have got systems set
up and in place to help individuals.

238
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:06,119
Yeah, and you know, I
think they really do don't care either way.

239
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:11,799
If a person died, I think
that they would prefer it absolutely,

240
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,759
of course. Yeah, as long
as you're costing them money and not making

241
00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:18,640
them money. Yes, from a
business standpoint, they would absolutely prefer that

242
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,920
you die. And don't kid yourself. This is a business. They're in

243
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,000
it for profit. Why do you
think they got stockholders and all of the

244
00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:30,880
shares that they got. They made
eight billion dollars in profit in three months

245
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,480
the first of this year, just
United Healthcare, never mind the rest of

246
00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:41,279
them. Ronda in the chatroom says, regarding what you were the situation you

247
00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:45,759
were just talking about, Paul,
Ronda says, insurance companies practicing medicine without

248
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:48,000
a license, which is yeah,
that's effectively what they've done to you.

249
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:53,599
That's exactly what they're doing. And
it's United Healthcare. Oh why am I

250
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,480
not surprised? You know, there
are so many horrific stories that I have

251
00:18:57,559 --> 00:19:04,000
heard since I came out about my
United Healthcare nightmares, and it's it's mind

252
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,759
mind boggling. These people are not
They're not in it to care for you.

253
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,319
They're in it to make money.
This is why it's wrong to have

254
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,160
a profit like that involved in healthcare. Healthcare should decisions need to be made

255
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,079
between patients and their doctors. Yeah, thanks to these these schooligans, I'm

256
00:19:23,079 --> 00:19:27,440
gonna I'm gonta switch the ultra light
cigarettes. Thanks a lot. Oh god,

257
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:33,079
well that's I'll let you guys go, all right, Paul, thanks

258
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,880
for the call. All right.
Always nice to hear from. Always nice

259
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,400
to hear from Polly See from Retro
Spectrum Radio with Polly C every Friday night

260
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,079
from eight to eleven pm here at
WM and H ninety five point three FM.

261
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,480
And I have the honor and privilege
of being one of Paul's co hosts

262
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,720
on that show along with DJ Seve
and uh Mike from Queen City Cabinetry,

263
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,039
who's also one of our great sponsors
here at WM and H. Melanie in

264
00:19:56,079 --> 00:20:00,920
the chat room says, uh,
what did you say about the flashlight you

265
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:07,240
have lodged? Oh, nevermind,
that is more private issue now Paul was

266
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,319
talking about as Inhaler. Yeah,
I mean it's interesting that it's interesting.

267
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,519
So is that's legal though, Like, I don't think that. I don't

268
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:18,119
understand. That's a first for me. I've heard of that kind of thing

269
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,440
before. Well, I've heard of
medicaid. Yell. Now see I'm wrong.

270
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,680
I've heard of that kind of thing
before. But you would think it

271
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,240
would be illegal for your insurance company
to just well, there switch you.

272
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,440
I mean that would be I mean, that's no different than them saying,

273
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,960
you know, you're on this medication, but we now have decided you're going

274
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,039
to be on this other medication.
See, they're allowed to have their formulary,

275
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,000
and if it's not on their formulary, they informed the doctor and the

276
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:45,680
doctor says, well, I'll have
to give you this one in order to

277
00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:49,519
use insurance. The other side of
that coined though, is remember there are

278
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,559
some other avenues out there like GoodRx. I mean I'm not I don't work

279
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,720
for these people. I use them
for one of my meds because it works

280
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:03,119
out better for me financially. So
you can always go online to good RX,

281
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,279
type in your medication and see what
it gives you for options in your

282
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:10,119
area. You might find the copaid
cheaper than it would have been for your

283
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,240
insurance, or you know, that's
another way to give yourself the option,

284
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,240
because then you tell the doctor you're
not using your insurance. And good RX

285
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:22,079
is a good resource. It works
for me. I mean, the medication

286
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:27,519
that I need through my insurance is
eighty five dollars. Through good RX at

287
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:33,680
a grocery store is forty dollars.
I seem to remember using good RX for

288
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:40,720
my my eye drops when I was
between insurance. I remember using good RX.

289
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,039
I mean it works. It helps
people. We have to nickel and

290
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:48,079
dime ourselves so we can afford our
healthcare. Yeah. Tom Blanchard in the

291
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,519
chat room says, I thought it
was illegal for insurance companies to deny claims.

292
00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:56,359
Oh no, Tom. As a
matter of fact, New Hampshire has

293
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,799
the highest rate of declined claims in
New England of all the New England states,

294
00:22:00,799 --> 00:22:04,720
we have the highest rate. What
you might be thinking of, Tom

295
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:11,240
is the affordable. Under the Affordable
Care Act, it became although there's loopholes

296
00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:14,480
to this, which Jenny knows all
about, but under the Affordable Care Act,

297
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,960
it did become illegal for them to
deny you based on pre existing conditions

298
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:26,160
unless you're on a Medicare going for
Medicare. Help me, it's the supplement

299
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:34,319
policy. Oh there's party. No
party is medications No. The Medicare supplemental

300
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,720
policy that you have to get medic
gap Medica. Sorry, I couldn't split

301
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:42,119
that out. When you first become
eligible for Medicare, you get your Medicap

302
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:47,599
policy, they have to give you
a policy and they can't ask you about

303
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,480
any kind of medical stuff. But
once like I'm in, I'm on Medicare

304
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,799
advantage. If I want to transfer
back to traditional Medicare, oh sure I

305
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,559
can. However, no medic no
insurance is going to ensure me for metagap

306
00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:03,400
insurance, I'm not going to be
able to get the policy, and I'll

307
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,559
have to go without care for like
six months to a year on any conditions

308
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:11,519
that I had pre existing likes the
RPS, small fibern neuropathy, so they

309
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:15,000
get to take a walk on all
my pre existings for six months to a

310
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:18,519
year, so you die off before
you can get the supplement going back.

311
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:23,960
With the exception of four or five
states, New Hampshire could change the laws

312
00:23:25,079 --> 00:23:29,319
to enable people to go back without
having that problem. There are a handful

313
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,119
of states that do. New Hampshire
is not one of them. Unfortunately,

314
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,400
your pre existing conditions can be held
against you and used against you in METAGAP

315
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,480
policies. After the winter says,
have a great day, guys, see

316
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,000
you at Swarmy Fest. Yes,
Swarmy Fest is only only a few weeks

317
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:47,839
away now coming right up? Was
it November fourth? I think yes,

318
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,559
jel yes it is yep. And
speaking of Swormyfest, Hans Smith from Sepsis

319
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:56,400
is also in the Facebook left chat. Hello Hans, and I sew Chris

320
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,920
Rose from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is
in there as well. Hello Chris.

321
00:24:02,079 --> 00:24:03,359
I been really happy we've been able
to get a lot of the Swarmy Fest

322
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,440
bands in. Oh yeah, yeah. Is there anyone you haven't gotten on?

323
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,759
Yes? Oh okay, well there's
a number of bands. Now there

324
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:15,759
are two stages. Oh that's right, that's right, Yes, there's quite

325
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:18,599
a few, but there's a number
of them we have had on Yes,

326
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:22,319
quite a few. Yes. And
Melanie in the chatroom says, appeals rights

327
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,960
are required at least for Medicaid coverage. Yeah, so you have a right

328
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,599
to appeal, right, But that
doesn't mean it's going to help you in

329
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,400
the end. Oh yeah, no, Actually, seventy five percent of appeals

330
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,640
actually are overturned, but only about
one percent of people actually apply for an

331
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,440
appeal. Oh right, Can they
tell you it's going to be in writing

332
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,160
within thirty days? And they make
it sound so daunting. But I will

333
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,480
add this little caveat there are people
they call them whatever, they call them

334
00:24:49,519 --> 00:24:53,759
service navigators or whatever, and the
insurance companies that are supposed to work with

335
00:24:53,799 --> 00:24:56,880
you when you want to file something, if you need to file appeal or

336
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,279
you want to file a prioritization,
you can ask for one of these people.

337
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,400
And which I did, and I
literally said to the woman, I

338
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:11,440
am visually impaired. I don't even
own a printer. I have medical situations

339
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,279
that make it hard for me to
write out try and write out something,

340
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,319
especially since I'm a lefty and my
hand looks likesnosage. Sometimes and I need

341
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,759
your help to do this. So
I have filed all of my appeals over

342
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:26,319
the phone with the help of the
service navigator, thereby getting my appeals and

343
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,839
literally the same days that these ridiculous
things are coming out that I'm having to

344
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:37,079
appeal. Yeah, Legion of Solace
in the chat room says, speaking of

345
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,119
Swarmyfest, we are giving away a
ticket to join us as our guest,

352
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,000
Oh? Shall we gosh? Yeah, we should, we should. I'm

353
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:17,640
waiting for the country to just implode. Oh, Miriam just joined us in

354
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,359
the Facebook live chat. Hello Miriam. Hello Duck six O three two five

355
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,039
six seven. If you'd like to
get in with a call six O three

356
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:26,960
two five six seven. We do
have a great musical guest. By the

357
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,440
way, if you're just joining us
coming coming up in the second hour,

358
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:36,160
Quincy Lord from the band Sunset Electric
will be coming in and really looking forward

359
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,160
to meeting him. Uh. We
played one of his songs at the top

360
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,799
of the show today. Well,
actually we played a couple of things.

361
00:26:41,279 --> 00:26:47,160
We played something from Quincy Lord's solo
album and then we also played the uh

362
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:53,920
the AI all the there's all these
AI song parodies. Now, the video

363
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:59,920
is fantastic. Somebody on YouTube made
an AI parody of the song locked Up

364
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,799
by Akon, a song that I've
played on the show before. I love

365
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:10,839
that song, but uh but with
AI an AI version of Trump seeing the

366
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,680
lyrics and it's pretty funny. But
you have to see the video that goes

367
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:18,960
with it. The video is uh
is hilarious. Oh, by the way,

368
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,519
right AID has filed for bankruptcy.
I saw that, but it looks

369
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:26,480
like it's they're they're staying open.
They're just restructuring. So yeah, it

370
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,480
looks like chapter thirteen, So it
looks like they're or whatever it is.

371
00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:34,720
No, it's a chapter eleven.
Chapter eleven. Sorry, but they're reorganizing

372
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,839
and uh so they they will still
be able to I saw that because you

373
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,640
know that's where we get our prescriptions, and that's one of them. Yeah

374
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,480
yeah, and that's one of the
many pharmacies I need to use. That's

375
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,519
where we get our vaccines. Yes, yes, I let them give me

376
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:56,799
the jab Yes, and I enjoyed
it, yes twice, even Hail Soros

377
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:03,200
on the same day. Mm hmm. And I'm happy about it personally.

378
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,960
Of course, I became more more
favorable towards vaccines after my doctor told me

379
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,960
that the flu could kill me.
Yeah, so you know there's that,

380
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,519
But why worry about vulnerable people?
Speaking of vulnerable people, what's going to

381
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,920
happen if these oh God dufases caike
it out of their own way and elect

382
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:30,079
a speaker. How far off are
we from literally having a government shutdown and

383
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,519
oh, let's not pay our troops
even though we've got two aircraft carriers out

384
00:28:33,559 --> 00:28:37,480
in the Middle East, We're going
to stop paying the troops because that's what

385
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:40,359
happens when we shut down. Oh
yeah, it's coming. They don't get

386
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:42,720
paychecks. A little bit of an
update on that, so Jim Jordan,

387
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,920
because if you haven't been following along, and of course, you know,

388
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:52,319
the the war with Israel versus Amasis
has kind of swallowed up most media coverage.

389
00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:56,759
But but this is probably the second
biggest story. But right now is

390
00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:03,160
of course what's going on with the
speakership in the House. But this does

391
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,680
affect everything else, including military readiness, and because well not only so,

392
00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:14,799
not only when we get to the
end of this last continuing resolution, I

393
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,000
think it goes to the middle of
November. Yeah, will once again be

394
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:21,279
staring down the barrel of a government
shutdown. But also, you know,

395
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:25,680
our government in some ways is effectively
paralyzed. For example, if you want

396
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,680
to pass you know, some sort
of new aid package for Israel, well

397
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,400
you can't do it right now.
You can't do anything in the House right

398
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,200
now. And that's where bills like
that have to start. But Jim Jordan,

399
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:41,920
it says here, this is from
the Hill dot com. Jordan builds

400
00:29:41,119 --> 00:29:47,200
speakership momentum as opposition falls. And
of course Steve Scalise already got out.

401
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:52,559
He had signaled early that he probably
was not going to do the whole go

402
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:57,079
through the fifteen rounds trying to clench
that speakership and all the horse trading and

403
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:02,440
deal making that goes on. Oh
it was something, but yeah, he

404
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,359
wasn't he wasn't interested in going through
all that. So he uh, you

405
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:07,079
know, after that first vote,
he said, well, I don't have

406
00:30:07,119 --> 00:30:11,759
the votes to be speakers. Wonder
if we actually stepped back and look,

407
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:18,039
would this be the most unproductive Congress
to have ever sat in DC because they

408
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:25,519
spent so much time on this stuff. They never get anything done in my

409
00:30:25,599 --> 00:30:30,079
opinion, Yeah, people's work isn't
getting done because they keep doing this.

410
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:37,039
Yeah, their egos are ballooned to
the size of Mount Washington, Well says

411
00:30:37,039 --> 00:30:41,680
here. Opposition to House eop speaker
nominee Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio is crumbling

412
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,240
as Republicans returned to Washington for a
House vote to try to officially elect him.

413
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:51,960
Four key lawmakers who signaled opposition to
Jordan last week fell like a set

414
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:59,359
of dominoes Monday, giving the Ohio
Republican a significant boost boost ahead of an

415
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,839
expected war vote Tuesday. Okay,
so this is going to be a floor

416
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:07,039
vote tomorrow. Chip Roy of Texas
told conservative radio host Eric Erickson today when

417
00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:11,079
asked about the opposition to Jordan,
quote, my gut tells me we're somewhere

418
00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:18,559
south of ten who are still being
recalcitrant unquote. It is remarkable. It

419
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:22,359
is a remarkable development after thirteen days
of turbulence in the House GOP following the

420
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:29,119
ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy,
which left many lawmakers and outside observers skeptical

421
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,279
Republicans could coalesce around a candidate.
Jordan emerged as the conference's nominee Friday,

422
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,039
winning one hundred and twenty four votes
on a second tally where Republicans were asked

423
00:31:38,079 --> 00:31:41,319
to vote yes if they'd support him
on the floor. Jordan got one hundred

424
00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,559
and fifty two votes. He needs
two to seventeen. A number of GOP

425
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:51,160
members and political observers went into the
weekend thinking Jordan faced a tough hill to

426
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,000
climb to win the two seventeen Republican
votes on the floor necessary to win the

427
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,119
speakership, but Jordan now seems to
be edging closer and closer amid a pressure

428
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:04,599
campaign buys out lies to win support
for the conservative Republican and ally of former

429
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,880
President Trump. Also playing in Jordan's
favor is exasperation with the internal GOP turbulence

430
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:15,160
that is keeping the House paralyzed as
war breaks out in Israel and Gaza,

431
00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,720
as well as the threat of moderate
Republicans working with Democrats who exert control over

432
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,559
the speakership, which, by the
way, I don't think that's much of

433
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:27,039
a threat because I don't think that's
going to actually happen. And even if

434
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:29,599
it was, well, I wish
that it already did, because, as

435
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,720
I've said on the show, I
actually do wish. I understand why they

436
00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:38,119
didn't, but I do wish that
Democrats had rescued Kevin McCarthy. I do

437
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,440
too, because we can't. This
is this is yeah, this is terrible.

438
00:32:43,839 --> 00:32:46,759
Their they their complacency is going to
cost this country. Well, the

439
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:54,440
thing is too I mean McCarthy and
I could say many horrible things about him,

440
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,720
and I probably have at various points. But but at least Kevin McCarthy

441
00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:02,920
understood couple of things that are important. He understood that government shutdowns or things

442
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:08,000
to be avoided, and even more
importantly, he understood that you cannot allow

443
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:15,880
the country to default on our national
debt. Jim Jordan is someone who I

444
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,279
think would be perfectly fine with because
some Republicans, you know, some of

445
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:23,240
the more conservative Republicans in the House
actually think default would be awesome and cool.

446
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,319
You know, global economic arm again
and what the hell. Just rip

447
00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:30,359
the band aid off. That's how
they talk about it. I'll just rip

448
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,160
the band aid off, get it
over with. Let me tell you how

449
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,400
much I support the truth. Meanwhile, no paychecks for you. Meanwhile,

450
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,400
the global economy would be flushed down
the toilet. But let's not forget the

451
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,720
fact that Tubboville's got all over one
hundred. I think it's closer to three

452
00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:54,200
hundred raises and appointments held up because
of his personal opinion. Yeah, one

453
00:33:54,319 --> 00:34:00,440
person's personal opinion. This is the
most inafvected Congress ever have done nothing but

454
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:07,280
gridlock themselves and pass nothing and do
nothing. But my concern about Jim Jordan

455
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:13,960
is that he he won't have any
problem with a government shutdown or when or

456
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:19,559
when the time comes default. So
he also is all along those ILKs that

457
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,679
want to cut social Security because you
didn't earn that, you didn't pay for

458
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,960
that, it's an entitlement. Yeah. So I really think that I could

459
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,039
say something, but you'd have to
beat me, right right, So I

460
00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:37,280
would have very much preferred the Democrats
just I'd kept my save McCarthy, you

461
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,639
know, not for free, you
know, get something out of him for

462
00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:40,679
it. But I wish they had
say, it would have been better than

463
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,239
what we're dealing with now. Yes, Hi, welcome to Matt Connorton,

464
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:50,320
unleashed. Who's this? It's John
C. Hawkwood. To see is for

465
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:57,519
congressional scholars. Congressional scholar I think
that would be CS. But but that's

466
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:01,440
okay. Well, hello John.
Well, when my parents gave me the

467
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:07,119
name, they just made it one
word because you can amchalar at the time.

468
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:13,440
Well you can do that with proper
nouns. That makes sense to do

469
00:35:13,599 --> 00:35:19,519
nothing. Congress was the eightieth Congress, which was elected in nineteen forty six

470
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:27,400
and which Harry Truman ran against in
the nineteen forty eight presidential election. It

471
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:30,440
was headed by who is the Speaker
of the House. He was a guy

472
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,719
from Massachusetts. First name is Joe. I can't remember what the second was,

473
00:35:35,679 --> 00:35:39,960
and he occasionally popped up when the
Republicans would win the House occasionally.

474
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:45,639
You know, since Roosevelt being elected
in thirty two, you had that long

475
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,960
period where the Democrats generally controlled both
houses, you know, both Houses of

476
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:00,840
Congress, the Senate and the House
of Representatives. But when you look at

477
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:08,239
history the like when we're talking about
under Obama, is first, remember when

478
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:15,199
the Republicans would have the House,
Democrats would have the swim majority. Traditionally,

479
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,119
I do nothing Congress like in nineteen
forty six, is when one party

480
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,639
controls the Senate and one party controls
the House, and then things just get

481
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,800
stalemated. But this is the first
time in history a Speaker of the House

482
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:36,039
has ever been fired. And this
is the first time you've ever seen,

483
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:43,800
you know, a do nothing Congress. The result not of two polarized parties,

484
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:49,280
you know, holding two different branches
of government, like you know,

485
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:54,440
the Democrats have the how the well
remember on the Reagan for six years the

486
00:36:54,519 --> 00:37:00,119
Republicans had the Senate and then the
Democrats held the House. Traditionally, if

487
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:05,639
I remember correctly, you get like
a quarter less legislation out of a house,

488
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,000
out of a Congress, or two
houses are helping, you tend to

489
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,159
get, but you tend to get. John, you've ever had the polarization

490
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,239
inside a party. But I think
I'm crazy. It's anarchy. You get

491
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,719
a better quality, I think when
there is that you know, during the

492
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:29,840
Reagan administration was actually when Republicans passed
legislation to make a woman's gynecologist a primary

493
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,159
provider, not a specialist. They
had to do it through lack as insurance

494
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:37,000
companies wouldn't do it. But that
happened because Democrats and Republicans work together.

495
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,880
They're not doing that anymore. Nobody's
working together anymore for the good of the

496
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:49,880
people. Everybody's out for their own
egotistical item whatever that history they've all you

497
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,320
know, this idea that you just
have to read history. They always have

498
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,519
been against each other. This is
just the first time we've ever seen like

499
00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:01,360
this kind of This is like something
from Civil War. This is not done.

500
00:38:01,639 --> 00:38:06,119
Yeah, because I think that there's
just I think the point John is

501
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:07,559
making though, is this is the
first time we've seen it where it's within

502
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:14,199
a party. You have one party
sabotaging itself. They're so busy sabotaging themselves

503
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,920
they can't work with the Democrats to
do anything. And even if you ask

504
00:38:16,039 --> 00:38:20,199
them to, Jim Jordan and his
ILK I don't want to work with the

505
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,480
Democrats on anything. Well, that
doesn't get our country going. That's not

506
00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:28,360
how it works. They're not perfect, but it's not what works. The

507
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,719
closest party. This couldn't happen in
a parliamentary system. You'd already have you

508
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,559
know, the government would fall the
closest in the party. One of the

509
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:42,519
reasons where we have whipped a whip
in. You know, a parliamentary system

510
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:45,239
is much stronger than a whip.
I think, Jenny, you might have

511
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,840
bet a whip. I wassentative first
time. Is that you have to volt

512
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,760
the party line. If you crossed
the aisle, they are serious consequences.

513
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,920
I wasn't known for either leading up
to throwing you out of the park,

514
00:39:00,519 --> 00:39:06,079
but here it's just I've never seen
anything so crazy. It's anarchy, the

515
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:08,920
closest thing I can remember that.
But Jenny, you're right about doing nothing,

516
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:12,599
because when you put this in a
historic contest, you know, there's

517
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:15,280
the famous do nothing Congress that Harry
Truman, Joe Martin, he was the

518
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:19,679
Speaker of the House. Then he
briefly went again. We know, we

519
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:25,079
know Joe mart York, Joe McCarthy, as you know, anything that rose

520
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:30,360
to Eller Truman did. They were
communists, Pearl Rodgers out of the other

521
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,679
thing. But you know, things
still happened because you know, Truman was

522
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:38,559
an effective president and Eisenhower was a
very effective president. You know, I

523
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:47,480
worked those states are so gone York. The Reagan administration was very effective because

524
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:51,960
you know, they did have you
know, Jim Baker's the chief of staff

525
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,400
in the first time, and you
have Bob Doll and people like that.

526
00:39:54,599 --> 00:39:59,519
In the Senate. They were I
mean, they always sniped at each other

527
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:04,639
and bit everything. But this is
just crazy. This is anarchy. The

528
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,719
closest thing I'll just wait till you're
off the phone, all right, thanks

529
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:15,000
Sean. The closest thing I can
recall to anything like this is during the

530
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:17,679
rise of the Tea Party during the
Obama administration, we had these Tea partiers

531
00:40:17,679 --> 00:40:22,639
who ultimately have morphed into the House
Freedom Caucus. But they, you know,

532
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,719
they they they gave John Bayner a
lot of trouble. You know,

533
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,159
they were about to remove John Bayner
and he said, no, I'm good,

534
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,719
I'm just gonna go on my own
and and that's part of why Paul

535
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,159
Ryan got out too. But but
yeah, we've never seen we've never seen

536
00:40:37,199 --> 00:40:42,800
anything like this. Nothing's getting done
everything, and that's not a good thing.

537
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,480
Some people think that's good, but
it's not. It's not good.

538
00:40:46,559 --> 00:40:49,920
And the grand scheme of things,
there are people who will end up dead

539
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,280
because things are getting done right.
Bottom line, I mean, and government

540
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,679
shutdowns cost the economy trillions of dollars
so and hurt a whole lot of people,

541
00:41:00,039 --> 00:41:02,039
So people take that too lightly.
Also, every time there's a government

542
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:09,239
shutdown, people become more and more
desensitized to when the real sort of harbinger

543
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:14,079
of doom shows up, and that's
the debt ceiling. Because what I've noticed

544
00:41:14,119 --> 00:41:17,519
happens is and polling data bears us
out when we're on the edge of going

545
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:22,760
over the well, the fiscal cliff, Americans surveyed don't think it's a big

546
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,960
deal. And I believe the reason
they don't think it's a big deal is

547
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:31,199
because not only do most Americans not
understand that issue, but they become desensitized

548
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:37,760
to all the government shutdowns that happen. So when we're about to not raise

549
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,039
the debt ceiling on schedule like we
need to, most Americans who are only

550
00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:45,119
halfway paying attention, they assume that's
the same thing as a government shutdown.

551
00:41:45,159 --> 00:41:50,599
They don't understand that government shutdowns are
bad, but very bad, but actually

552
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,800
not raising the debt limit and going
over the fiscal cliff would be catastrophic.

553
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,559
Like I'm you know, I might
sound a little hyperbolic when I say global

554
00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:04,119
economic armageddon, but talk to an
economist, I'm not really being that hyperbolic.

555
00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:07,239
I mean that really is basically what
it would be if we ever default

556
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:12,039
on our debt, which we've never
done. Jeff Nyan joins us in the

557
00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:15,599
Facebook Lave chat, as well as
Carol Zo Warawitz. Hello. I always

558
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:19,639
see Carol too, well, not
always necessarily, but I did see Carol

559
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:23,159
I think Friday night in the chat
room for retro Spectrum Radio with poly C

560
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,719
just a little bit more on this. So we've got a great guest sur

561
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:35,239
No seven hour. But I'm sorry, what November seventeenth is the new date

562
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,000
for shutdown? Okay, I was
just checking to see what it was.

563
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:44,800
Yeah. Government will now continue operating
until November seventeenth unless lawmakers pass another spending

564
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,119
bill before then, and they can't
even vote on a speaker to agree with.

565
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,679
This is why I'm worried. Yeah, oh yeah, this is why

566
00:42:52,679 --> 00:42:57,960
I'm worried. We're literally thirty one
days away. Approximately thirty one days away.

567
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:06,760
Yeah, so that's looming. We
can't It's like it's they're doing nothing.

568
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,280
They're they're great at talking to microphones. They got that down. Pat

569
00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:16,079
Jim Jordan likes to put on his
little show of look how big and bad

570
00:43:16,119 --> 00:43:21,880
I am. Yeah, he's gone
back on a number of things already that

571
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,480
he always claimed to, you know, like I'm a speaker's vote should never

572
00:43:24,519 --> 00:43:29,280
come to the floor until you have
the number of votes, And now it's

573
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:30,159
his name on the ballot, and
he's like, Oh, we're going to

574
00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:35,320
have the vote anyway. We're gonna
do it anyway. Skipping down in this

575
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,480
article a bit, it says Jordan
is not out of the woods just yet.

576
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:40,840
He still faces some opposition within the
conference, and a number of his

577
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:45,920
colleagues are keeping their cards close to
their chests, setting the stage for a

578
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:50,360
close race when the Ohio Republican goes
to the floor Tuesday. If all House

579
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:57,119
members vote, Jordan can afford to
lose only four Republicans. Representative Carlos Jamenaz

580
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,440
of Florida said today he intended to
support McCarthy on the House floor, even

581
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:07,400
though the ousted speaker does not plan
to seek the gavel again, and Representative

582
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:15,000
Steve Womack of Arkansas, an appropriator
who called Jordan polarizing last week, is

583
00:44:15,039 --> 00:44:17,960
not yet giving Jordan his public support. He told CNN in an interview today,

584
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:22,400
quote, You'll know how I vote
when I vote. I know there

585
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:28,599
are concerns from the Appropriations Committee unquote
on Jordan serving as speaker. Yeah,

586
00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:31,639
that makes sense because the Appropriations Committee, that's you know, that involves the

587
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:37,599
money, and Jim Jordan is probably
going to well, I mean, you

588
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:42,079
know, fiscally, he's going to
be to the right of where Kevin McCarthy

589
00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:52,440
was. Yep, Melanie, Uh, Melanie said in the chat room,

590
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:53,400
I got to clean this up a
little bit, but she said, Uh,

591
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,079
can you imagine being pregnant for nine
months, doing everything you can,

592
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:05,719
have a healthy baby, and Jim
Jordan out Well, well, I assume

593
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,599
he didn't come out as Jim Jordan. You know, he had to grow

594
00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:14,880
into that, says here. Jordan
indicated he would proceed to a House floor

595
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:20,159
vote for speaker at noon tomorrow,
regardless of whether he has to the two

596
00:45:20,199 --> 00:45:24,159
seventeen he needs. Jordan told CNN
today, quote, we will go to

597
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:29,039
the floor tomorrow. It's not about
pressuring anybody. It's just about we've got

598
00:45:29,079 --> 00:45:30,840
to have a speaker. You can't
open the house and do the work of

599
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,840
the American people and help our dearest
and closest friend Israel. If you don't

600
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,760
have a speaker unquote, well there's
something we can agree on. The war

601
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:44,400
that broke out in Israel is one
factor putting pressure on Republicans to break their

602
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,320
opposition to Jordan for the House to
move on legislation to address the crisis.

603
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:52,440
Another is exasperation with the drawn out
process of choosing a McCarthy replacement. Chatter

604
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:57,320
is also increased. Now this is
interesting. I don't think this is going

605
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:02,719
anywhere, but it says. Chatter
is also increased among moderate GOP members about

606
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:10,119
cutting a deal with Democrats to empower
Speaker pro Tem Patrick McHenry of a Republican

607
00:46:10,159 --> 00:46:14,639
of North Carolina, to move legislation
of the House floor, or even work

608
00:46:14,679 --> 00:46:22,639
with Democrats on another kind of compromise. Wagner wrote in her statement announcing support

609
00:46:22,679 --> 00:46:25,480
for Jordan. Quote, too much
is at stakedown control of the House over

610
00:46:25,559 --> 00:46:30,360
to radical liberal Democrats, which is
why we must elect a conservative as an

611
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:35,000
ex speaker unquote. Wilson McHenry,
a conservative. Jordan, meanwhile, is

612
00:46:35,039 --> 00:46:39,159
pushing a unity message, he wrote
in a Dear Colleague letter to Republicans on

613
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:44,280
Monday, quote, the country and
our conference cannot afford us attacking each other

614
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,000
right now. In one notable line, Jordan wrote, he would quote make

615
00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:52,119
sure there are more Republican voices involved
in our major decisions beyond the five families

616
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:59,199
unquote leaders of the That sounds very
mob like leaders of the quote five families

617
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:05,000
the idiot. Yes. The five
main ideological caucuses in the House GOP were

618
00:47:05,039 --> 00:47:08,760
heavily involved in negotiations and discussions with
McCarthy over various policy issues. This year.

619
00:47:09,119 --> 00:47:13,639
Jordan was the founding chairman of one
of those groups, the House Freedom

620
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:19,559
Caucus. See that's that tells you
all you need to know. But that

621
00:47:19,559 --> 00:47:22,679
that's very scary to me, Jim
Jordan is it would be very dangerous.

622
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:25,840
As speaker, I firmly believe he'll
take us right into a government shutdown,

623
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:30,599
and when the time comes, he
will take us into default. Yeah uh

624
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,960
yeah, or or Biden can try
to invoke the fourteenth again. This is

625
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,960
why the Democrats should have saved McCarthy. It just would have been the safer

626
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,679
option. I understand why they didn't, but they should have. They should

627
00:47:44,679 --> 00:47:47,159
have sucked it up and just done
it. Scott Robinson in the chatroom says

628
00:47:47,159 --> 00:47:53,239
it's too bad the normal Republicans won't
hold Jim Jordan hostage like those weirdos held

629
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:59,679
McCarthy hostage. Yeah, well that's
the thing. Yeah, that's true,

630
00:47:59,679 --> 00:48:05,519
Scott. It it it Uh,
it's very very difficult. That is something

631
00:48:05,559 --> 00:48:09,440
I've noticed just generally, and and
I I think there's a couple of reasons,

632
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:15,079
but it is very difficult for moderate
Republicans to stand up to uh,

633
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:19,960
to these House Freedom Caucus people who
I think are very dangerous, you know,

634
00:48:20,199 --> 00:48:22,719
I mean if they stand up to
Jim Jordan. You know, Jim

635
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,280
Jordan is Trump's choice. So any
of these people who stand up to Jim

636
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,920
Jordan or or say, uh,
you know, we we oppose him,

637
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:35,079
you know, they run the risk
of being given an insulting nickname and uh

638
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:38,760
and and Trump effectively ending their political
careers. Because you know, once once

639
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:43,559
uh, once Trump decides he hates
somebody, then you know everyone who's MAGA

640
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,719
is also expected to hate that person. And then you know, it's very

641
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:50,920
dangerous to to stand up to Jim
Jordan. Uh in that way good will

642
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,039
come of him being a speaker.
Yeah, I don't uh, yeah,

643
00:48:53,039 --> 00:48:59,079
I don't feel good about any of
this. It does say here again,

644
00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:01,519
skipping down because we're almost at the
top of the hour. Jordan is also

645
00:49:01,519 --> 00:49:05,840
getting a boost from McCarthy, with
whom he had become allies over the past

646
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:09,599
several years after challenging him for the
oucp's top spot in twenty eighteen. While

647
00:49:09,639 --> 00:49:15,760
the ousted speaker had voiced skepticism about
the ability of Scalie to reach two hundred

648
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,960
and seventeen votes last week, he
is now bullish on Jordan. McCarthy said

649
00:49:20,119 --> 00:49:22,760
this morning, I'm sorry yesterday morning
on Fox News quote, I feel very

650
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:27,880
good about where Jim Jordan is at
now. That surprises me because I would

651
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,199
have thought McCarthy would feel better about
Steve Scalise than Jim Jordan. But I

652
00:49:32,199 --> 00:49:37,079
guess they were. McCarthy and Scalise
were at odds a bit on some things.

653
00:49:37,639 --> 00:49:40,719
That surprises me too, actually,
But yeah, but I'm a little

654
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:46,920
bit surprised. But scary stuff.
All right, we're gonna play. We're

655
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,440
gonna play a track. I think
I might have seen a musician in the

656
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,320
hallway. I'm not sure, but
if he's if I did not, I'm

657
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,000
sure he's arriving any moment. But
we're gonna play something from This is called

twenty three. Jenny is here at

on the couch we have our great
musical guest today, Quincy Lord is here.

How are you, sir? I'm
doing all right. How are you?

703
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:31,320
What's going on? Doing well?
Doing well? And of course you

704
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:37,280
are here from the band Sunset Electric. That's the one I did play one

705
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:39,239
of your acoustics songs. I mean, I'm sorry, one of your solo

706
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:43,960
songs. Rather, at the top
of the show today at four o'clock,

707
00:58:44,039 --> 00:58:45,920
I played was it one night Stand? Oh yeah, that's a fun one.

708
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Yeah, yeah, that's a really
cool song. I usually open with

709
00:58:49,119 --> 00:58:52,519
a try to find something you know, around five minutes to open the show,

710
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,360
and I found that. I was
like, oh, I really like

711
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:59,119
that a lot. And of course
today we're featuring music from your band,

712
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,360
Sunset Elect and uh, we're gonna
play in a little bit that track that

713
00:59:01,559 --> 00:59:07,880
the n uh in with two n's
I N N and at least two you

714
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,400
could do seventeen. It doesn't really
get the idea. Well then it would

715
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:15,159
be the end. But uh,
yeah, I really uh, I really

716
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,239
like your band quite a bit.
And uh and uh we should tell listeners

717
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,960
too. You brought your acoustic guitar. So looking forward to hearing you play

718
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,239
in a little bit too. Absolutely, that'll be very cool. I do,

719
00:59:25,119 --> 00:59:30,079
yes, yes, tell me about
uh, tell me about Sunset Electric.

720
00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:31,119
What do you do in the band
and uh? And who else is

721
00:59:31,159 --> 00:59:35,039
in it with you? Yeah,
So it's a fun project. We've been

722
00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:38,519
going uh with this iteration of the
band. Previously had been like the Quincy

723
00:59:38,599 --> 00:59:43,880
Lord Band or something like that.
Uh, We've been going for a little

724
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,760
more than a year like this.
I write most of the songs. I

725
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,360
do the lyrics. Uh, But
I'm one of four and a half people

726
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:58,559
in the band. We have a
my musical co writer there. The big

727
00:59:58,599 --> 01:00:01,480
one is uh just five, dear
friend of mine. He Uh. We

728
01:00:01,559 --> 01:00:07,000
played together for years as an acoustic
duo, playing all the breweries and bars

729
01:00:07,039 --> 01:00:10,360
and all that. I have Dan
Morno on the bass guitar. We call

730
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:15,320
him Smiles. He love him on
stage like he's just always the whole time,

731
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,480
big, big smile and a bunch
of energy in the band comes from

732
01:00:17,519 --> 01:00:25,360
our drummer, Al Francis. Uh. Justin and Al played together in a

733
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:30,239
Beatles tribute band for a long time, so we've all known each other.

734
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,360
The three of them were much closer
as teenagers and I was kind of like

735
01:00:34,119 --> 01:00:37,800
had met them and then you know, passed five eight years something like that.

736
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:43,159
We've known each other then. The
half member we have a my friend

737
01:00:43,519 --> 01:00:45,960
Justin mckinnessy played some keys on a
record. Sometimes he pops up live.

738
01:00:46,079 --> 01:00:50,360
Sometimes he doesn't, you know,
so here you're not. We don't need

739
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,039
him, but when he's there,
it's nice. It's nice. But yeah,

740
01:00:53,119 --> 01:00:55,639
it's a great group. We all
have a lot of fun playing together

741
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,559
and a lot of chemistry helps.
You know. We're all friends and we're

742
01:00:59,639 --> 01:01:02,119
kind of friend before we started doing
this, and we've played in different bands

743
01:01:02,119 --> 01:01:06,440
and iterations of this band together.
So it's a lot of fun. We

744
01:01:06,519 --> 01:01:07,960
do a lot of you know,
alt rock. We try and have a

745
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,800
lot of energy. We love playing
live. It's a good time. Yeah,

746
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:15,800
you've got a great sound. Great

01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:06,079
Smith from the on Sepsis? I'm
familiar with my I believe my friend Zach

760
01:02:06,239 --> 01:02:08,880
just joined that band recently. I
haven't met anyone else from the band,

761
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:13,199
but uh okay, Yeah. Hans
is in the chat room and says I

762
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,599
dig that music. Hell yeah,
so he likes what you're doing. I

763
01:02:15,719 --> 01:02:20,920
see Amy Raymond also in the Facebook
live chat. Hello, Hello, Hello,

764
01:02:21,079 --> 01:02:22,920
let's see. Yeah, so you're
getting a lot of getting a lot

765
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,719
of support in there. That's good. Now do you still do are you

766
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:30,400
still doing the acoustic thing in terms
of live shows, I mean the I

767
01:02:30,519 --> 01:02:34,239
keep making that mistake the solo thing. Are are you still doing that and

768
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,960
the band or yeah? Absolutely?
I uh you know it keeps it going,

769
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:40,920
and you know the relative of it
is uh, you know. I

770
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,880
play music because I love playing music, but the band is really about the

771
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:47,880
creativity and the energy and writing music
and sharing people when you know, creating

772
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:52,480
that moment. And if I'm being
aus here like the acoustic thing will pay

773
01:02:52,519 --> 01:02:55,719
the bills, ye going to bars. I'll play my own music, but

774
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:00,679
I also play covers and you know, play the game and do the thing.

775
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:05,079
So I do that. I'm a
what kid? So I have this

776
01:03:05,199 --> 01:03:08,519
week. I believe Friday I'm at
tackle Box in Marlboro, Mass. Sunday,

777
01:03:08,599 --> 01:03:12,960
I believe I'm at a frog brewing
in Swansea. So yeah, I

778
01:03:13,039 --> 01:03:15,440
play a lot of breweries around Hillsboro
and Worcester Counties, and I have a

779
01:03:15,519 --> 01:03:20,039
great time with it. And it's
always an adjustment because I spent so long

780
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,960
playing acoustic solo and you have like
this freedom to like, oh you have

781
01:03:25,039 --> 01:03:28,159
an idea, like halfway through a
song, you can just roll with it,

782
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,559
or you know, you forget a
line and you're like, well,

783
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:32,639
I'm just going to play this cord
and extra bar. I can't do that

784
01:03:32,719 --> 01:03:37,039
with the band, you know.
I get the dirty looks of like,

785
01:03:37,119 --> 01:03:39,000
oh you mess this up, buddy, and I'm like, just just rolling.

786
01:03:39,039 --> 01:03:44,559
It's going to be okay. So
yeah, I still have that going.

787
01:03:44,639 --> 01:03:47,559
It's a good thing. I'm actually
going to be this winter doing a

788
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:53,519
solo record just because there's some songs
I've written that don't necessarily fit with what

789
01:03:53,679 --> 01:03:58,400
the band's doing. And uh,
you know, we did that whole album

790
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,400
ourselves. We recorded it, mixed
it, we mastered it, We did

791
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,440
everything on our own, so it's
a big undertaking, you know, when

792
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,719
there was a learning process and a
lot of fun. But like, if

793
01:04:06,719 --> 01:04:10,800
I do an acoustic record, like
there can be a lot less going on,

794
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,119
it'll be less daunting. Yeah,
and there's gonna be some acoustic versions

795
01:04:14,119 --> 01:04:16,000
of songs from this record too,
so yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

796
01:04:16,079 --> 01:04:19,480
Yeah, but I always like to
have multiple projects going. I love

797
01:04:19,559 --> 01:04:23,320
all sorts of genres and music,
and yeah, I don't want to be

798
01:04:23,559 --> 01:04:27,079
pigeonholed, you know, to one
thing right right, which I think is

799
01:04:27,159 --> 01:04:32,440
wise. Rhianna snow Cone snow Cone
McCartney in the chat room says, Quincy,

800
01:04:32,559 --> 01:04:36,079
can I get your number? Oh
my, oh my, yes,

801
01:04:38,039 --> 01:04:42,840
And that's my partner of the last
eight years or so. But whenever she's

802
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,000
at a show and she's works at
this bar where I play, and I

803
01:04:46,039 --> 01:04:50,159
always make a big scene of asking
her for her number and trying to embarrass

804
01:04:50,159 --> 01:04:54,239
her in front of people. And
yeah, it's always so this is her

805
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,119
trying to get back at me.
I gotcha. I gotcha. By the

806
01:04:57,119 --> 01:04:59,599
way, have you ever met anyone
else with the name Quincy? It's not

807
01:04:59,639 --> 01:05:05,320
a name. Actually once one time
and my partner is very excited to introduce

808
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:11,039
us because she had met someone and
it was a two month old baby that

809
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,960
was named Quincy. And she's like, there it is. But it's one

810
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,039
of those names, you know,
where it's unique enough that people always have

811
01:05:17,119 --> 01:05:19,280
to like, oh, the one
other Quincy they've heard. Like people come

812
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,960
up all the time like, oh, Quincy Jones or doctor Quincy or John

813
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:27,440
Quincy. Adams is like, people, Quincy, you know Quincy Jones.

814
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,559
What's going on? I'm like,
leave me alone. Yeah, it's just

815
01:05:30,639 --> 01:05:33,559
not a name. You hear a
lot, I hear it a lot.

816
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:41,119
Yeah, justin fife is in the
chatterman says, I'll give you his number.

817
01:05:41,199 --> 01:05:43,960
I have it. There you go
that that would be my bandmate.

818
01:05:44,119 --> 01:05:46,119
Yes, Now what does he do
in the band again? He plays guitar,

819
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,000
he sings. He's one of those
annoying people who has perfect pitch.

820
01:05:49,079 --> 01:05:53,280
So like I let him do all
the harmonies, and I'm like, okay,

821
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:56,480
you sound good and do things in
one take all take my time,

822
01:05:56,719 --> 01:06:00,239
right right. He's wonderful and he
used to before Al joined a band,

823
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,599
he was actually our drummer. So
he's a oh mayn of many talents.

824
01:06:03,679 --> 01:06:06,679
Oh gee, So he's got a
perfect pitch and he can play multiple instruments,

825
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,679
and he's pretty annoying. If you're
like, all right, one hundred

826
01:06:09,679 --> 01:06:12,000
and twenty six ppm, he'll get
it pretty close. And I'm like,

827
01:06:12,119 --> 01:06:16,719
this away, it's like a prodigy. Damn. Well he's jealous of I'm

828
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,199
funnier though, so it's okay,
well there you go. So it balances

829
01:06:19,239 --> 01:06:23,280
out. Now. I'm a I
play bass and I can play a little

830
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,000
bit of guitar, but I'm always
super jealous of people who can like play

831
01:06:26,079 --> 01:06:30,199
multiple instruments, and likewise, I
have perfect pitch and then the whole deal.

832
01:06:30,719 --> 01:06:34,440
Uh yeah, Justin says, oh
shucks. Now, where does the

833
01:06:34,559 --> 01:06:38,519
name come from? Sunset Electric is
there? It sounds like a name that

834
01:06:38,599 --> 01:06:43,000
would have a story behind it a
little bit. So actually, I'm going

835
01:06:43,079 --> 01:06:47,639
to be tell the truth here,
possibly to my bandmate chagrin that there's the

836
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:51,039
four of us with voting power.
Again, Justin McInnis less important, doesn't

837
01:06:51,079 --> 01:06:57,440
have voting power. Yeah, I
got out voted on the band name on

838
01:06:57,559 --> 01:07:00,719
this one. So oh. There
had been a song I wrote called sun

839
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:05,519
Sylllectric and it was a story about
a It was basically the idea was that

840
01:07:05,599 --> 01:07:11,639
sun Sylllectric was an imaginary club and
it's a song about going out, dancing

841
01:07:11,679 --> 01:07:15,559
and coming out and just it's a
fun song. But the name of the

842
01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:18,039
song was sun Sylllectric and my bandmates
were like, hey, you know,

843
01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:23,320
they don't make a pretty good band
name, and I'm like, yeah,

844
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,239
but this isn't a song I want. You know, like, if you

845
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:28,239
listen to a band the first time, like okay, you listen to like

846
01:07:28,239 --> 01:07:30,679
their top songs on Spotify or whatever, and then you look up the one

847
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:32,639
if you see one that has their
band name, you're like, oh,

848
01:07:32,719 --> 01:07:36,400
let's check this out. It's usually
their worst song, like Black Sabbath is

849
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:40,480
Black Sabbath, don't want to hear
it right, And I'm like, this

850
01:07:40,639 --> 01:07:42,440
isn't a song. I like the
song. It's a lot of fun.

851
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:45,280
I don't want to represent a band, so I had to change the lyrics

852
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:47,239
to that song. Oh, which
is now on the record has let Me

853
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:51,599
Fall okay, which is fine.
So anyways, that's where it came from.

854
01:07:51,679 --> 01:07:55,760
It was like my idea for like
an imaginary club. It's just an

855
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:58,280
idea I had. It was a
weird song. It was a little different

856
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,480
for our vibe. But uh that
that's how it came to be. So

857
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,639
you say you got out voted,
So did you have a different band name

858
01:08:04,679 --> 01:08:08,440
in mind? I love rejected band
name. It's just so much fun.

859
01:08:09,519 --> 01:08:13,000
My partner has the great list of
them here. But the ones off top

860
01:08:13,039 --> 01:08:16,279
I had the name for the record. Graffiti Hearts was one that we had

861
01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:20,880
talked about for a while. We
also went to the Centro. I was

862
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:26,079
one I really liked. Which is
the botanical name for bleeding hearts. Oh,

863
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:29,239
I'm pointing out my arm for all
you people who aren't watching. Yeah,

864
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:33,720
there's a tattoo at my arm doesn't
look like that naturally, but I

865
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,960
was of the opinion that that's not
too marketable. Also kind of sounds like

866
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,399
a hardcore band. Yeah yeah,
people wouldn't know how to spell it noess

867
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,760
right, that's so I'm like,
all right, we gotta keep it simple.

868
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:47,399
And some sat electric like took a
little while to get used to,

869
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,119
because at first people usually think like, are they saying that wrong? Like

870
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:55,439
those words don't make sense together.
But yeah, now it's just you know,

871
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,039
natural to hear. Yeah, yeah, And I like the logo.

872
01:08:58,079 --> 01:09:02,399
Who designed the logo. I have
a friend beca Minnie that works at a

873
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:11,079
North Point printing and her coworker Nick, she she she was at one of

874
01:09:11,159 --> 01:09:13,119
my shows and she was like,
hey, like, you guys need some

875
01:09:13,199 --> 01:09:15,520
merch And I'm like, well,
yeah, but we haven't gotten there yet,

876
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,439
and she's like, I'll hook you
up and so excuse me. Her

877
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:24,079
friend Nick went and designed that for
us, and yeah, it's really cool.

878
01:09:24,119 --> 01:09:29,000
I like the two fonts together.
Yep, it's just a cool thing.

879
01:09:29,079 --> 01:09:31,479
So we got fortunate with a you
know, kindness of a stranger.

880
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:36,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that
always helps absolutely And where so now tell

881
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:41,319
me about the album. So it's
called what is it again? Graffiti Graffiti

882
01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:44,800
Hearts, Graffiti Hearts. Yeah,
yeah, So I'm very excited for this

883
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:50,119
record. It's a it's a combination
of songs that I had written in years

884
01:09:50,239 --> 01:09:55,039
past and it never done anything with
or didn't quite have them finished, and

885
01:09:56,399 --> 01:10:00,760
maybe like half the songs that were
actually written for the record, But it's

886
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,319
been great to hear how they you
know, change and come to life with

887
01:10:02,399 --> 01:10:05,960
this iteration of the band. And
like I said, some of the songs

888
01:10:06,039 --> 01:10:10,279
like the end that we were talking
about that you're playing for the very first

889
01:10:10,319 --> 01:10:15,640
time today, they're excited when we
wrote that. Justin Fife, my guitar

890
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,119
player now with the perfect pitch and
all annoying in that was my drummer.

891
01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:23,439
So it's just me and him and
our blast player Dan just jamming out and

892
01:10:24,399 --> 01:10:27,960
it just kind of came about.
But then watching you know, what al

893
01:10:28,279 --> 01:10:30,800
my current drummer did with a song
was just very cool to see how it

894
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,720
changed and everyone adding their flavors to
it. Because a lot of these songs

895
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:39,800
I come in and I've already written
them, start to finish and yeah,

896
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,079
you know, and I love the
whole process. I love the mixing and

897
01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:44,960
mastering and all that. I hear
a lot of times when I'm writing.

898
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:45,760
Though I'm hearing like the finished song, I'm like, okay, I know

899
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,720
what everything needs to do. And
that's part of compromise with having a band,

900
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:53,520
is like, ye, you can't
be that much of a jerk and

901
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,600
be like all the time, I'm
gonna get some comments from my band here,

902
01:10:56,680 --> 01:11:01,079
but can't always you know, you
have to let them do their thing.

903
01:11:01,279 --> 01:11:04,960
Sure, but it's fun. And
then there were some of the songs

904
01:11:05,119 --> 01:11:10,600
like dark Waves is one. I
believe I had sent you over a lot

905
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,159
of fun because Okay, I have
like an idea for a song and then

906
01:11:13,239 --> 01:11:15,520
I, you know, I demoed
part of it and played my bad drums

907
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,520
on the E kit and brought to
the band were like okay, well and

908
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:21,960
then everyone just got you know,
kind of free rein to do their thing.

909
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:26,239
And it's way cooler because they did, because yeah, they did way

910
01:11:26,319 --> 01:11:28,199
different stuff than I would have come
up with, and that, you know,

911
01:11:28,279 --> 01:11:31,439
I think that's important when you're making
music. But Dumb School has a

912
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:38,000
lot of themes of uh, there's
themes of nostalgia. There's a lot of

913
01:11:38,079 --> 01:11:41,359
me complaining about my mental illnesses and
such, which you know, I think

914
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:45,000
is important to share and put into
words. And then you know, just

915
01:11:45,079 --> 01:11:47,399
to break the tension, there's a
couple of songs they're just on there for

916
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,279
fun. So yeah, I think
it's a good mix. I like when

917
01:11:50,399 --> 01:11:54,000
you know, I like my own
music. What can I say? Like,

918
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,279
I'm trying to make music that I
want to hear so and hopefully that

919
01:11:57,399 --> 01:12:00,159
other people want to hear also.
So I'm very excited for it. And

920
01:12:00,279 --> 01:12:03,560
you know, we're working on new
songs for the next one. But uh

921
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:08,720
yeah, Now when does Graffiti Arts
come out? It's not out yet right

922
01:12:09,079 --> 01:12:13,720
right, We don't have the exact
date. I believe we're aiming for November

923
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,119
twenty eighth. Though the hold up
has been the album art. I'm terrible

924
01:12:17,159 --> 01:12:20,159
at procrastinating things. I've been so
focused on, you know, the mix

925
01:12:20,239 --> 01:12:24,199
and the songs and the part,
the creative part I really like, Yeah,

926
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,720
and so that kind of took a
back seat. But yesterday we went

927
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,039
and actually took the photos. Okay, so now we just need to decide.

928
01:12:31,119 --> 01:12:35,239
You know, there was just a
somewhere in Western mass this abandoned warehouse

929
01:12:35,279 --> 01:12:38,319
full of graffiti and stuff, and
I'm like, all right, this is

930
01:12:38,399 --> 01:12:41,439
this is the right vibe for this. Let's and so we went there and

931
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,319
took a bunch of photos and had
a good time. All the classic things

932
01:12:44,399 --> 01:12:46,479
happened. Cop showed up. There
was a really h yeah, there's a

933
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:51,640
big white deer with the great antlers
that like ran through the place. As

934
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,760
we're there, We're like, don't
stab us, but good to see you.

935
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,399
Oh wow. At the same time
as the cop showed up too,

936
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:00,279
so we're like, it might have
like east attention there, but were they

937
01:13:00,359 --> 01:13:05,439
chasing the deer? One? I
think it's pretty normal that people go to

938
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:10,079
that abandoned warehouse. They were cool. They were like all right, take

939
01:13:10,079 --> 01:13:12,000
your pictures and go home. We're
like, all right, yep, yeah,

940
01:13:12,039 --> 01:13:14,319
yeah, they were very nice.
Oh that's good. That's good.

941
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:21,000
Yeah. Rachelle in the chatroom says
Quincy is a fabulous musician and person live,

942
01:13:21,159 --> 01:13:27,239
either acoustic or with his band,
even just hanging out with live sans

943
01:13:27,359 --> 01:13:30,720
music is excellent. His favorite word
is that true? That's your favorite work.

944
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:33,880
I don't think I've heard of you
say it once yet today. Well,

945
01:13:34,239 --> 01:13:36,760
it's an excellent word. At the
very least, there you go.

946
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:42,279
That's very very sweet of Youelle.
Yes, and Tina Donovan is asking can

947
01:13:42,319 --> 01:13:45,479
you pre order the album? Yeah, I'll be posting all that info once

948
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:50,640
we have it, little patience.
Yeah, well, you know, I

949
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,880
mean it's it's a lot of work. People don't realize how much work it

950
01:13:55,039 --> 01:13:58,520
is. I mean, it isn't
you know. There's only so much you

951
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,520
can outsource for you. It depends
on how much control you want to have,

952
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,000
right. Oh yeah, I you
know, I want to learn,

953
01:14:04,079 --> 01:14:06,399
as in the early seasons here,
I want to learn as much as I

954
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:10,720
can about the whole process. So
yeah, I'm like, well, let's

955
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:14,239
uh, let's do as much of
his as we can ourselves. I'm you

956
01:14:14,319 --> 01:14:16,720
know, I'm probably gonna do pay
for some you know, campaigning and promotion

957
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:21,640
just to help push it out into
the world. But yeah, it's been

958
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,880
a fun process. I'm very excited
for it. Yeah yeah, cool,

959
01:14:26,199 --> 01:14:28,399
Well, brought your guitar, do
you want to play something for us?

960
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,760
And then and then in a little
bit we'll do the premiere of the Inn,

961
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,279
which I'm looking forward to sharing with
everybody. A great track, but

962
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:40,640
also very very much looking forward to
hearing you play live in studio with us

963
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,720
if you're just joining us. Quincy
Lord is here. He is live in

964
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:48,840
studio. We've been talking about not
only his his solo stuff, but of

965
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,920
course he's in a fabulous band,
an excellent band, I should say,

966
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:57,359
Sunset Electric and uh, we've been
playing some of their tunes too. But

967
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,359
he brought his guitar and what are
you what are you gonna play for a

968
01:15:01,399 --> 01:15:04,600
squincy? So this is a song. How can you hear me? Like?

969
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:10,399
This? Second? Perfect? Perfect? Great? So this is I

970
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,640
believe this is an opening track to
the record something I should know. Uh.

971
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,680
This one is called at Liss and
it's a song I wrote. One

972
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,960
of those songs that came out pretty
quickly. You know there's some that like

973
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:24,239
I hammered away at on off for
years, or you do a bit and

974
01:15:24,279 --> 01:15:26,680
then you pick it up later.
It's one of those ones that's just like,

975
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:29,079
okay, like a day or two. I just kind of hammered it

976
01:15:29,159 --> 01:15:35,479
out. It's called Atlas. It's
about my ADHD and anxiety and not just

977
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:41,560
what a mess it kind of makes
in my life, but my concerns with

978
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,079
it and with the medication of it, and also how it affects those around

979
01:15:45,159 --> 01:15:49,479
me and kind of being honest with
myself about that. So yeah, it

980
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:54,239
doesn't mean I'm gonna make any changes
about it. But right, but all

981
01:15:54,319 --> 01:16:06,960
right, I hear a sigh every
time I drift away my thoughts could hide

982
01:16:09,039 --> 01:16:15,880
and the worst side off the boot
page I can lost in space and my

983
01:16:16,199 --> 01:16:26,840
trying to break freeth anon. It's
not easy putting up when I interrupt their

984
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:33,600
minds. I forgotten anyway, count
in my guilt what he asks if by

985
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:44,399
boucat so I shove it to wait, let Alice on and on ontil it

986
01:16:45,159 --> 01:16:53,239
leave out saying the fars of our
homes not much I I enjoy since a

987
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:59,159
numbness built the boy. Well,
I just can't hide. Try up off

988
01:16:59,239 --> 01:17:09,680
the sleep it's spent hunting to me. My friend has these pills. I

989
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:15,279
know she's just try him to help. No, but I'm afraid selling me

990
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:28,319
less of myself. Mister my ma
guess somewhere inside me, let's seeing maintain

991
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:33,560
I say, wakes up bees peace, And there's the bosting in my head.

992
01:17:34,199 --> 01:17:41,760
Thou won't stop until I'm dead.
Then a thing to once gets clost

993
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:50,560
to me this ropin peace of minds? Will I repeat ween not? What

994
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:59,760
is me, what is my ses? It's been hen into me? Well,

995
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:06,279
I'm lost that so it's spaking to
me and I can ask for help.

996
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:43,119
No, well, I'm not adless. It's whetty cool guitar solo is

997
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:54,720
springing in my ears. That ben
happen me is there's a trouble that can

998
01:18:54,840 --> 01:19:02,439
sucks this symphon name and it's broken. Peace of nice while I be between

999
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:10,760

01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:17,000

1001
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:28,279
and I can't ask for help.
So I'm not myself that I'm not auss.

1002
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:41,640
No, I'm not maself. Let

1003
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:55,560
not adless. Well love that Wow, very nice? Thank thank you.

1004
01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:01,039
You need a hand, No,
I got it. Quincy's headphones fell off

1005
01:20:01,079 --> 01:20:03,479
while he was while he was singing. He was really into it. The

1006
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:06,920
headphones kind of kind of went it
went backwards. Well done. That was

1007
01:20:08,039 --> 01:20:10,680
fantastic. I love that. I
love thank you, Thank you. That's

1008
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:15,720
really good. That's really good.
I'd enjoyed watching the headphones comically and slowly

1009
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:19,840
fall off my head. That was
great. If you're just joining us we

1010
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:24,319
have Quincy Lord in studio with us, and now that's that's gonna be on

1011
01:20:24,399 --> 01:20:28,199
the Sunset Electric album. Graffiti Hearts
that is, it's a bit noisier and

1012
01:20:28,279 --> 01:20:30,720
a lot more guitar stuff going on. It's a came out very much like

1013
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,760
a Gaslight Anthem song if you're familiar
at all, but uh, yeah,

1014
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:38,439
it's gonna be on the record.
It's a very fun song and like I

1015
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:42,239
said, it's for me. It's
a song that's very vulnerable and open about

1016
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,479
yeah, myself. So that's an
important one, you know, again,

1017
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,319
trying to balance out the songs they're
just fun and the ones that, like

1018
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:50,760
you know, make you feel things. I'm like, all right, let's

1019
01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:56,319
yeah, yeah, no, I
got Youah. DJ Steve is in the

1020
01:20:56,359 --> 01:21:00,680
Facebook live chat and says, Hi, Matt, this is great of course

1021
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,079
from retrospect from radio with poly C
on Friday nights, but he's really enjoying

1022
01:21:03,119 --> 01:21:08,479
you. And Legion of Solace in
the chat room says when the album comes

1023
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,279
out, send us the links and
will help you get the word out.

1024
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,479
Very nice, Yeah, much appreciated, very kind of you. Well,

1025
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:16,640
I think what we should do now
is because it's going to be about four

1026
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,720
to thirty. I think we should
are five thirty rather. Sorry I'm in

1027
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:24,119
the wrong time zone. I think
we should go ahead and do the world

1028
01:21:24,199 --> 01:21:27,800
radio premiere of this track the end
Now? Is this the first single from

1029
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:32,239
the upcoming album this Is and the
officially it's coming out Wednesday and all your

1030
01:21:32,279 --> 01:21:38,079
streaming platforms excellent. Yeah, it's
a good one. Do you want me

1031
01:21:38,079 --> 01:21:40,119
to talk about the song now or
after? Oh? Yeah, go ahead,

1032
01:21:40,119 --> 01:21:41,760
and anything you want us to know
about it now, go ahead.

1033
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,399
Yeah. You know, it's just
a fun song, like we kept it

1034
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:45,800
simple. It's kind of we have
a lot of fun playing this live.

1035
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:49,800
It's one of those ear hooks that
very early on our audience, you know,

1036
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,720
starts sing along too, and that's
nothing feels better than you know,

1037
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,960
when you're a young band watching people
sing along to the songs. But it's

1038
01:21:58,039 --> 01:22:00,119
you know, it's about a bit
of desperate race, you know what's inspired

1039
01:22:00,159 --> 01:22:03,560
by this time. I won't tell
the whole story, but my friend and

1040
01:22:03,560 --> 01:22:10,640
I were like hiking through Vermont and
uh ended up at this Uh his foot,

1041
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,039
he hurt his foot. It was
downpouring, we were lost, and

1042
01:22:13,159 --> 01:22:17,520
we ended up knocking on a door
and uh, woman who became a good

1043
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:21,039
friend of ours. Tamra I answered
the door and uh just looked us in

1044
01:22:21,119 --> 01:22:25,279
the eyes. She's like, you
know, we're two, we're probably eighteen

1045
01:22:25,359 --> 01:22:29,039
nineteen at the time, and here's
a you know, sing a mom home

1046
01:22:29,119 --> 01:22:30,359
with two kids. And we're like, oh, we like we knocked on

1047
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,199
a door looking for shelter we didn't
know, and uh yeah, We're like,

1048
01:22:33,279 --> 01:22:35,119
no, we'll go somewhere else nowhere, and she just looks us in

1049
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:38,039
the eye. She's like, look, meny and tell me I can trust

1050
01:22:38,079 --> 01:22:42,359
you. When we're like yeah,
and so anyways, like it's not a

1051
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:45,279
direct the song's not directly about that, but that's the inspiration. Just like

1052
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,199
looking for a place to go,
a place where you can uh rest your

1053
01:22:48,239 --> 01:22:51,359
bones. Yeah, yeah, very
cool, very cool. All right,

1054
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:56,399
So this is called the Inn.
This is Sunset Electric, and this is

1055
01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,239
UH on the upcoming album Graffiti Hearts. But this will be out on you

1056
01:23:00,279 --> 01:23:04,159
said Wednesday. It's very good,
so you're hearing it here first, my

1057
01:23:04,239 --> 01:23:06,760
friends. This is the world radio
premiere. This is great. Check this

1058
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:32,600
out from friends. Probably the dark, dark place we've all given to the

1059
01:23:35,279 --> 01:24:16,359
blind weekend. We oh nah,
nothing can soul for asses through the wet

1060
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:27,039
you're seeing the control. That's a
worse sing wethon that you just said.

1061
01:24:28,119 --> 01:24:35,920
But steel casting things are not saying
about the hole and filling wacked the balls

1062
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:58,840
wacon. My ballastic goes through the
wacon, waking my bo castles to as

1063
01:24:59,079 --> 01:25:11,760
contract talk to the time. Then
things just to be sad, but out

1064
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:48,479
of the way. I alone.
I've been searching for a home, pleased

1065
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:55,840
to call my own on my home? Did you meet you this road?

1066
01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:48,079
Where can I lay my elbows when
I can? That is so good?

1067
01:26:48,279 --> 01:26:51,680
That is called the inn. The
name of the band is Sunset Electric.

1068
01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:58,000
That will be out on the streaming
platforms on Wednesday. So you just heard

1069
01:26:58,039 --> 01:27:00,399
it for the first time right here
on Matt Connor to no ut least.

1070
01:27:00,399 --> 01:27:03,520
We are live from the studios of
w m n H ninety five point three

1071
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,399
FM. Jenny is here, of
course, at the news desk with us,

1072
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:11,239
and on the couch. He's holding
his guitar because I asked him if

1073
01:27:11,279 --> 01:27:15,159
he'll play another one. Quincy Lord
from the band Sunset Electric is here with

1074
01:27:15,319 --> 01:27:18,479
us in studio, and what do
you want to play for us? Quincy?

1075
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,920
I'm gonna play you a song I
put out on a record a couple

1076
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:28,800
of years ago called Songbird Blues.
All right, it's a gotta lower this

1077
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:35,600
for the guitar and this song how
it's fine, irony is. It's a

1078
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:40,479
song I wrote about writer's block.
Yeah, having such a hard time writing

1079
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:44,479
a song, and you know,
I guess it solved itself an inspiration from

1080
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:49,840
this song poem. There's a I
believe it's a sounger poem called a Girl

1081
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:58,319
I Knew, and there's a line
in it about she wasn't doing anything I

1082
01:27:58,359 --> 01:28:01,920
could see except standing there on the
balcony holding the universe together. And you

1083
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,399
know that line is kind of what
brought this song about. So yeah,

1084
01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:15,560
it's a cool thing. But yeah, some bird inspiration, it's just too

1085
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:23,039
worthy. Days A prone, so
tired and not too pron to run away.

1086
01:28:24,119 --> 01:28:28,960
Still, I tell myself when I'm
playing my songs, I could say

1087
01:28:29,159 --> 01:28:41,880
the stakes, let the feeling slip
away in conversation. My songue has a

1088
01:28:42,119 --> 01:28:50,039
mamat. There's no sensation when I
let my fingers glide across these springs.

1089
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:58,520
I only hear mistakes. Every word
I said is out on place, and

1090
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:13,840
the clock is shown me its face. She sings, Please lain late later

1091
01:29:14,159 --> 01:29:28,399
nights on the balcony obsessed dressing lights
that opposed me through because happened west in

1092
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:36,039
light one of us. It seems
to pull me back to light. Wells

1093
01:29:36,119 --> 01:29:46,079
he to okay, I hold her
clothes as I try to sing, oh

1094
01:29:46,399 --> 01:29:57,439
no, as I try to sing, oh no. And it's down this

1095
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:03,680
river. Well, once I came
to pray, I find my SPoD here

1096
01:30:06,039 --> 01:30:14,199
nelscotes have gone away. And then
as night where we always hide the tart

1097
01:30:14,279 --> 01:30:27,159
as rich a ben trying to fight. Oh my god, in light A

1098
01:30:27,359 --> 01:30:35,640
song bird from a midnight glass of
wine seems so tired, So she is

1099
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:49,279
so kind? Well could she be
mine? Songbird? Beating line she sings,

1100
01:30:49,720 --> 01:31:00,479
please lay late later and night?
Oh no, balcony obsessed rest in

1101
01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:10,600
words, let it post me through
because I burned, wasting light for the

1102
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:18,880
voice it sings the poot, that's
light. What was the issue? I

1103
01:31:19,039 --> 01:31:34,520
can now holds? I got try
to sing a long home was sh My

1104
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:48,840
song but sings the blues. My
song bird sings the boots. My song

1105
01:31:49,000 --> 01:32:04,520
perd sings my song versings, so
I can sue the song but blues.

1106
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:12,720
Oh my god, I love that. That was awesome. That is fantastic.

1107
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:17,680
I hope you enjoyed my head.
Well you're nothing if not consistent.

1108
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:26,960
Yeah, that's funny. Things have
happened. No, that that is a

1109
01:32:27,039 --> 01:32:30,000
great song, dude, I love
that. I love that. If you're

1110
01:32:30,039 --> 01:32:32,840
just joining us, we have a
Quincy Lord here with us live in studio.

1111
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,680
Uh. He is from the band
Sunset Electric and he also has some

1112
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:40,079
solo material. That was one of
his solo songs that he's just played for

1113
01:32:40,159 --> 01:32:44,239
us, and that is great.
Ryan Glenn Hirsch in the Facebook live chat

1114
01:32:44,319 --> 01:32:50,319
says whoop and uh Rachelle says wow
with a couple three actually exclamation points.

1115
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:57,600
So very good. Is when you
when you play out solo because you mentioned

1116
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:00,720
you know, obviously you do some
covers when you play these various places,

1117
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:02,680
I assume you mix in a few
originals. Yeah. I usually, you

1118
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:04,720
know, if it's a three hour
set, I try and to at least

1119
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:09,039
an hour of originals, But it
depends on the day and some venues I

1120
01:33:09,079 --> 01:33:12,760
play, you know, they don't
they don't pay for all the different royalties,

1121
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:15,079
so it's a very limited set.
I'm like, I'm just gonna play

1122
01:33:15,119 --> 01:33:16,800
originals here, like yeah, yeah, I don't want to go through the

1123
01:33:17,319 --> 01:33:19,600
bother of like, all right,
what's be and my what's as cap?

1124
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:25,039
Like I know what mine are?
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I assume

1125
01:33:25,119 --> 01:33:27,520
that's one of them that you play
out. Well, yeah, that's a

1126
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:30,880
that's a great song. Now is
there any crossover do any of your do

1127
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:34,720
any of the songs from your solo
material also end up in Sunset Electric?

1128
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:39,399
Oh? Absolutely? We uh so
there's none. We aren't. We haven't

1129
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:43,840
like re recorded anything for another album, but yeah, definitely live we play

1130
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,840
a lot of the solo material.
I mean, like you listen to One

1131
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:50,600
Night's Stand, which was the most
stripped down from that album. Yeah,

1132
01:33:51,119 --> 01:33:56,439
there's a lot of you know,
noisier stuff in there. But we play

1133
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,760
a lot of those songs full band
live because you know, we have them.

1134
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:03,760
All ever knows the songs. And
Justin Feiffe, my guitar player,

1135
01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:09,640
had played drums on about half of
that record and harmonies and everything, because

1136
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:16,399
why wouldn't I use perfect pitch boy
right right right? Anybody else from Sunset

1137
01:34:16,399 --> 01:34:20,359
Electric who had played on your solo
material or just Justin not at that point,

1138
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:26,600
I h I played pretty much everything
except for the drums. I had

1139
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:31,079
my old drummer, Nikki played half
of it, and Justin came in later

1140
01:34:31,159 --> 01:34:34,640
to play and did some harmonies.
I think he did a couple of random

1141
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:39,680
guitars and bass slayers too, but
uh, at that point was just me.

1142
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:44,479
But we did play Dan, Justin
and I had, you know,

1143
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,439
played for a while as the Quincy
Lord band, just playing those songs.

1144
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:50,720
Oh okay, but we never put
the didn't put the same time and effort

1145
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:55,720
into it as we have been doing
since with this project. So yeah,

1146
01:34:58,039 --> 01:35:01,479
yeah, no, it's great.
It's stuff. Now how many how many

1147
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:05,600
songs do you have as a band
with Sunset Electric? So we have ten

1148
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:10,399
tracks that are going on this record, Okay, you know there's more we're

1149
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:12,359
working on and something they're like,
oh it's that song, you know,

1150
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:16,600
like maybe someday, But yeah,
it's those ten main songs. And I'm

1151
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:20,159
looking forward to what we write in
the future and what we're working on now,

1152
01:35:20,199 --> 01:35:25,840
because, as I started to say
earlier, a lot of those songs

1153
01:35:26,399 --> 01:35:29,640
had already like kind of come to
fruition for me before the band was even

1154
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,279
involved, and you know, they
added their flavorings and such. But I

1155
01:35:32,359 --> 01:35:35,600
look forward to the ones where I
can come to the band with it less

1156
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:39,399
filled out. You know, there's
always those times you get an idea and

1157
01:35:39,399 --> 01:35:42,159
you're like, I know everything that's
gonna happen, and it's like, guys,

1158
01:35:42,239 --> 01:35:44,439
fight me about it later, like
we're doing it this way. You

1159
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:46,680
just learn it this way and then
change it later, like let's get the

1160
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:50,520
idea out. But but I'm looking
forward to seeing, you know, when

1161
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:55,880
they have more influence onto writing and
a lot of cool stuff comes about because

1162
01:35:56,039 --> 01:35:59,800
I can make songs that sound like
me all day long, right while songs

1163
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:03,000
that sound like Sunset electric right right
exactly? And U and the album where

1164
01:36:03,119 --> 01:36:08,720
was it recorded? Because it sounds
various basements of ours? Really? Yeah?

1165
01:36:09,079 --> 01:36:12,680
Yeah? So the drums, the
drums are the only thing. We

1166
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:18,159
had tracked most of those up at
with A. H. Anthony Semino at

1167
01:36:18,199 --> 01:36:20,680
Mojo Studio, which is up in
like East End if you remember where the

1168
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,239
Old Man in the Mountain was,
I throw a rock at it from there

1169
01:36:24,279 --> 01:36:29,279
pretty much. U. So we
tracked some of the drums there, but

1170
01:36:29,399 --> 01:36:33,039
all the editing, all the other
tracking, all the mixing we did ourselves.

1171
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:39,880
You know, I've been fortunate to
work with the past, with the

1172
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:44,800
a few very talented engineers. Anthony's
one of them, Chris Short, when

1173
01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:47,479
I was living in Orlando. I
recorded with him at a Pack of Ranch

1174
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,159
recording and he helped me with that
the solo record. Both of them had

1175
01:36:51,159 --> 01:36:56,039
worked on that solo record that We
Were You One Night Stand was from.

1176
01:36:56,680 --> 01:36:59,479
But you know, there's sometimes it's
cool because, like I said, with

1177
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:01,840
the band at your flavor, like
it's even more so with the engineer because

1178
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:05,720
if you go in without you know, entirely known to sound like by God,

1179
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:10,760
like these guys will make it sound
great. Any you know decent engineer

1180
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:12,680
is going to be like, Okay, we have an idea, we'll make

1181
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:15,119
it shine. But when you have
an idea of how you want it all

1182
01:37:15,239 --> 01:37:20,880
to sound, that's when it's okay. It's frustrating sometimes when you don't have

1183
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,479
the means. So that's why this
record was like, I'm doing it myself.

1184
01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,560
I will spend hours on this one
sound if I need to. I'm

1185
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,960
not paying anyone. So yeah,
I've really enjoyed the process of mixing and

1186
01:37:31,039 --> 01:37:35,319
that's something I absolutely love doing.
It's nice too that we live in a

1187
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:38,960
time where you can really do that, where you you know, you can

1188
01:37:39,039 --> 01:37:43,880
do something where it's it's largely DIY, but it sounds like it was done

1189
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,000
in a million dollar studio, you
know, I mean it really does.

1190
01:37:46,079 --> 01:37:49,319
It sounds it sounds fantastic. I
appreciate the compliment. Yeah, yeah,

1191
01:37:49,359 --> 01:37:53,239
Well what about the mastering? Did
you do that yourselves? Sir? H

1192
01:37:53,319 --> 01:37:56,640
yeah, Justin took care of that. My Wow, guitar player there,

1193
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:00,720
Justin Fife mentioned him again. Wow. Yeah, No, it sounds sounds

1194
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:03,439
fantastic. And and what went in
that does to the decision to do a

1195
01:38:03,479 --> 01:38:06,399
full ten song album, because you
know, we also live in an era

1196
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,359
where there's different ways to approach it. Like like when I was growing up,

1197
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,880
it was, you know, bands
would you know, do a do

1198
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,560
a full album and then go out
on tour and then eventually record another album,

1199
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:18,640
maybe an EP once in a while
you'd see show up, but mostly

1200
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:23,319
albums. But today you know,
you can do you can do albums,

1201
01:38:23,359 --> 01:38:26,199
you can do EPs, you can
just put out singles forever. You know,

1202
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:28,880
there's there's so many different ways that
artists approach it. Now, what

1203
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:30,119
went into the decision to do a
full album? Sure, you know,

1204
01:38:30,199 --> 01:38:33,560
I don't think it was. I
don't think we ever considered any other way

1205
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:36,680
to do it, you know,
I love writing. I had the songs,

1206
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:40,399
we only needed to write a few
more songs for the record. And

1207
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:45,439
yeah, even then, you know, there's you know, the shoebox trope

1208
01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:48,000
of like unfinished songs in like,
I have so many of those. I

1209
01:38:48,039 --> 01:38:49,960
could pull out any point if I
just needed, like, all right,

1210
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:53,119
we need two more songs. It's
record, let's see what's what's going to

1211
01:38:53,159 --> 01:38:56,079
fit and just flip through. But
yeah, yeah, no, it's just,

1212
01:38:56,319 --> 01:38:58,199
uh, we wanted to do it. We wanted to. I like

1213
01:38:58,279 --> 01:39:01,920
to to I and I think most
of my band also where people who like

1214
01:39:02,039 --> 01:39:04,159
to listen to an album start to
finish, I want to go for the

1215
01:39:04,239 --> 01:39:08,960
ride and yeah, all my favorite
albums, you know, you go start

1216
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:13,640
to finish, like r EM's Automatic
for the people, The Killer Sam Town,

1217
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:15,720
Born to Run, Like its almost
like start to finish. You're not

1218
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,920
gonna find a bad song on them, like right, Uh, there's also

1219
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,600
albums I love that there's songs I
don't like on but regardless, I want

1220
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:26,279
to go for the ride and you
get more. I think you get more

1221
01:39:26,359 --> 01:39:29,720
diversely that way, Like there's definitely
a few outliers on this album that I

1222
01:39:30,079 --> 01:39:32,079
you know, it's still cohesive,
but it's it's a different flavor. It

1223
01:39:32,119 --> 01:39:36,079
gives you a break from the rest. Like you we heard put Me Under

1224
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:40,640
and we heard the End. You
know, a couple of those are they're

1225
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:43,640
noisier, big guitars, like,
more aggressive. There's a couple more laid

1226
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:46,439
back ones. Got to play some
piano and stuff in there. So yeah,

1227
01:39:47,359 --> 01:39:50,039
but I like to go for the
ride and get the get the whole

1228
01:39:50,079 --> 01:39:55,079
picture route. And also I just
I can't stop myself from writing, and

1229
01:39:55,079 --> 01:39:58,319
I just want to ask him,
I make this a fifteen song album.

1230
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:00,920
No, that's a great way of
putting a though. Go for the ride.

1231
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:02,279
I like that, and I think
I think there are a lot of

1232
01:40:02,279 --> 01:40:04,520
people who feel that way, because, you know, ten years ago,

1233
01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:09,239
a lot of people in the industry
said, you know, albums are dead.

1234
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:12,840
You know, eventually we're going to
get to a point where there will

1235
01:40:13,039 --> 01:40:15,800
not be any more albums. Everybody's
just going to put out singles, and

1236
01:40:15,199 --> 01:40:18,359
and you know, here we are, and people are still making Like I

1237
01:40:18,399 --> 01:40:21,159
said, not everybody. You know, some people, actually, a lot

1238
01:40:21,199 --> 01:40:25,039
of people I've had on the show, they approach it like they put out

1239
01:40:25,079 --> 01:40:28,159
singles and then when they have enough
singles, they take them and put them

1240
01:40:28,159 --> 01:40:30,239
into an album. But doing that
strategy. But yeah, there are a

1241
01:40:30,319 --> 01:40:33,880
lot of artists who still, you
know, they want to do the full

1242
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:38,039
album. They want to you know, they want to kind of make that

1243
01:40:38,199 --> 01:40:42,600
statement. And are you going to
have any physical discs or will it strictly

1244
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,600
be online or no, we will
we are going to be printing CDs.

1245
01:40:46,119 --> 01:40:48,199
A lot of people can be a
hard time for that. Get Like,

1246
01:40:49,119 --> 01:40:54,239
you know, I've found and I've
been hearing a lot about how vinyls or

1247
01:40:54,319 --> 01:40:56,920
you know, vinyl sales are going
up and CDs had dropped so much as

1248
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:59,399
it. Yeah, you know,
I'm I'm going to be getting a new

1249
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:01,479
car, and I all my friends
have new cars and none of them have

1250
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,640
CD players. Like you have to
go it's now like having a Vinyl Like

1251
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:08,199
you have to go out of your
way to listen to a CD or to

1252
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:13,279
install a CD bet deck back in
your car. Right, and you know,

1253
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:15,520
for the novelty of it, people
at that point would rather do vinyl.

1254
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:18,199
Now, yeah, vinyl is way
too expensive to print. Yes,

1255
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:21,960
so we're going to hold off on
that one for now. But we are

1256
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:25,720
going to have CDs because it makes
me happy and a lot of people just

1257
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,920
like having something, you know,
how many apocalypse comes, you know,

1258
01:41:29,079 --> 01:41:31,800
you can find the battery powered like
CD player and you know, listen to

1259
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:34,960
it as the world's burning. Well, it's fun to have the artwork and

1260
01:41:35,039 --> 01:41:40,359
the liner notes and oh absolutely,
yeah. Yeah. And with vinyl,

1261
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:44,720
I what I think is too a
lot of people, probably most people,

1262
01:41:44,800 --> 01:41:47,279
if I had to guess who do
buy vinyl, they don't. They never

1263
01:41:47,399 --> 01:41:50,319
open it because they're not going to
play it. They just want it because

1264
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:53,880
you know, they really love that
artist, and it's a it's a way

1265
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:57,239
to sort of it becomes like a
collector's item. They want to collect what

1266
01:41:57,399 --> 01:42:00,800
that artist is putting out. But
yeah, I've heard it's very cost prohibitive,

1267
01:42:01,159 --> 01:42:04,279
Like yeah, you know, it's
a big investment. Well, I

1268
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:09,119
find if you can if your band
is large enough to do like a big

1269
01:42:09,239 --> 01:42:12,960
run of them, like if you're
going to be getting a thousand or more,

1270
01:42:13,159 --> 01:42:15,880
like then you're fine. If you're
smaller than that and you're trying to

1271
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:19,960
print like the thirty you might sell
like you're gonna have to be selling them

1272
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:24,680
for you know, too expensive to
be fair to your fans, right right,

1273
01:42:25,039 --> 01:42:29,279
Yeah, So it is what is
I never understood the collector mentality.

1274
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:32,439
Honestly, it's just not the way
I am. Like, I accept other

1275
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:35,840
people live their lives differently than me, and that's perfectly fine. But uh,

1276
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:40,960
I don't have a I don't have
an LP. I haven't played you

1277
01:42:41,039 --> 01:42:44,479
know, if I'm gonna buy and
I'm gonna put it on, and I

1278
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:46,039
like to buy and support. You
know, there's a lot of my favorite

1279
01:42:46,079 --> 01:42:49,640
bands aren't huge, and like I
want to support them. And I think

1280
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:54,840
that's also why people will buy our
many CDs and merch when they're ready to

1281
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,520
support us so we can make another
record. And you know, I try

1282
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,159
and be that person also for the
bands love. So there you go.

1283
01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:04,359
Mike Lachlan, a very talented musician, is in the Facebook live chat and

1284
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:08,079
Mike says, is that my brother. I don't know if you know Mike

1285
01:43:08,159 --> 01:43:11,239
Lachlan, but you do look a
lot like him. That's weird. It

1286
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:14,119
didn't occur to me till he said
that, But yeah, you could easily

1287
01:43:14,199 --> 01:43:16,720
be related to him. I'll show
you after the show. I'll show you

1288
01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:20,479
a picture of him on my phone. Although in the picture I think he's

1289
01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:24,680
wearing a hat, but he's accept
I'm not wearing a hat, but yeah,

1290
01:43:25,359 --> 01:43:29,079
but but you do look you even
kind of talk alike a little bit.

1291
01:43:29,079 --> 01:43:35,479
It's weird. And Melany La Liberty
says, I'm like that too.

1292
01:43:36,359 --> 01:43:40,640
When I buy underwear from prison inmates, I never open them. I just

1293
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:45,560
let them marinate for years. Yeah, we all have hobbies, that's right,

1294
01:43:45,199 --> 01:43:48,560
that's right, different strokes for different
folks. I guess well we are.

1295
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:50,720
We are almost out of time,
so we are going to play one

1296
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:55,199
more studio track, dark Waves,
another great song that you sent us to

1297
01:43:55,239 --> 01:43:59,439
play today. But I want to
make sure people know. So, so

1298
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:02,720

did see that other that other band.

1311
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:46,439
I think they're from South South Carolina. I think yeah, yeah,

1312
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:48,640
yeah, I think that was it. Yeah, I ignore them. I'm

1313
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:53,479
sure they're good. Guys. I
think you didn't you interview Wired for Sound

1314

at some point. Oh yeah,
they're playing with us on we We played

1315
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:58,439
with them a bunch of time.
They're playing with us at the Shaskin.

1316
01:44:58,560 --> 01:45:00,079
Oh, very cool, very cool. You know what I love about them.

1317
01:45:00,239 --> 01:45:03,680
I just think it's so cool.
They've got that that nineties grunge sound

1318
01:45:04,039 --> 01:45:08,720
but with a double bass drum.
Yeah yeah, oh he goes crazy.

1319
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:12,720
Yeah. I'm always impressed. His
legs must be like huge. I would

1320
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:14,680
have always impressed. Like a shows, He's just like, I'm like,

1321
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:16,279
you were going crazy, man.
Yeah yeah, but you never hear that.

1322
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:19,199
You never hear nineties grunge, but
with double bass like that, it's

1323
01:45:19,239 --> 01:45:21,319
so cool. That's a cool vibe. They have a lot of energy.

1324
01:45:21,319 --> 01:45:25,239
I always love playing with them.
And yeah, they're big pedals in their
