00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,520
Hey, everybody, welcome, here
we go. It is that time again,

2
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,079
Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live
from the studios of w m n

3
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:56,079
H three FM and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, also on Comcast ninety

4
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:58,920
seven if you're in Manchester. And
hello to all of our online listeners across

5
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,920
the nation and around the globe.
But you can go to my website Matt

6
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,959
Connerton dot com for all of your
live streaming options, social media links,

7
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,799
contact info, show archives, etc. Etc. Today is Wednesday, June

8
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,280
seven, two thousand to twenty three, so nice to have you all with

9
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,879
me. So I'm looking at the
window and it looks like it might storm.

10
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,480
But there's been this, as I've
mentioned on the show recently too,

11
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,120
there's been this trend where it'll look
like it'll get really dark outside and there's

12
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,200
some very threatening clouds, and it
looks like any moment now the sky might

13
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:37,640
open up and and the rain will
start coming down in uh in buckets,

14
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:42,200
But and then nothing happens. So
I'm wondering if that's what this is going

15
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:44,760
to be again. It looks like
it's going to rain and then nothing happens.

16
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,280
It's happened several times now, but
we could probably use some rain to

17
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:56,840
kind of would that help clean up
the air. Maybe there's a large swaths

18
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,879
of the country, including where we
are that you know, we've got these

19
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:05,319
air quality alerts because of the wildfires
in Canada, So you should, uh,

20
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:07,080
you know, especially if you're like, if you're someone like me,

21
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,840
for example, who has asthma or
anything else like that, you should probably

22
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,360
wear a mask. Except now now
it's the inverse of of when we were

23
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,240
in the midst of the pandemic.
Now you'd want to wear a mask outside

24
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,400
instead of inside, rather than inside
instead of outside, because if you're outside

25
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000
breathing that air, maybe it is
raining. Actually the streets look a little

26
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:29,439
wet. Can't tell, but yeah, the rain might actually help with that.

27
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,360
I would think, right, it
helps with the pollen, maybe it'll

28
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,759
it'll help with the terrible pollution.
My goodness. Yeah, Canada is on

29
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,960
fire. So that's what's going on. You know what. It reminds me

30
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,800
of many years ago. This would
this would have been over a decade ago,

31
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,840
because I remember at the time that
this happened, I was still living

32
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,919
and conquered, and I was living
in an apartment complex in Conquered and it

33
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,800
was Memorial Day weekend, actually,
and it was it was that Monday.

34
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,680
I think it was that Monday,
was on Memorial Day. I woke up

35
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:09,360
that morning and I had fallen asleep
with the I'd fallen asleep with the window

36
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,360
open because it was a very warm
night. So when I woke up in

37
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,199
the morning, I could smell it. I woke up and I could smell

38
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,199
something. But I thought the first
thought that went through my mind was,

39
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Oh, somebody's really getting an early
start on the barbecue. You know,

40
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,919
because it was Memorial Day weekend,
so a lot of people, you know,

41
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,280
because sometimes around the apartment complex on
especially of course on the big holidays,

42
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:37,719
you know, you see somebody out
there with a grill grilling. What

43
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,879
else would you do with a grill, I suppose, And so I would

44
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:43,639
see that often. So that was
my first thought. I thought, Wow,

45
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,759
somebody's really because it was in the
morning, somebody's really getting an early

46
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,840
start, like eight am, and
you know. And then I got up

47
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:54,240
and I got ready for the day, and I went outside and I looked

48
00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:00,000
around. I could still smell what
I noticed when I first woke up,

49
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:01,680
and you know, it has to
be very strong for me to be able

50
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,400
to smell it, because with my
allergies, there's a lot that gets past

51
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:11,080
me in terms of aroma. You
know, I'm stuffed up a lot.

52
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,520
But I could, I could smell
it. It was pretty strong. I

53
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,160
got outside and I could smell it
even more strongly. But I'm looking around

54
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,680
and I'm like, I don't see
anybody grilling. What am I smelling is

55
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,800
something on fire somewhere. And I
looked at the sky and in the distance

56
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,199
it kind of looked like I could
see almost like almost kind of looked like

57
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,839
fog, but not quite, but
I could see it. I thought,

58
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,800
is that smoke hanging in the air? And then I thought, something's got

59
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,120
to be on fire somewhere nearby.
What's going on? I didn't hear any

60
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,199
fire trucks or anything, but something's
burning somewhere. And then I, you

61
00:04:45,199 --> 00:04:48,720
know, I got into the car
and I turned the news on and learned

62
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:54,720
that Oh, Canada is on fire
because they were having terrible forest fires much

63
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,160
like what's happening now, except I
guess now it's worse than ever, because

64
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,920
apparently this is unprecedented the degree to
which we're experiencing this. From what I

65
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:10,800
understand, New York City has not
had such poor air quality since the nineteen

66
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:15,680
sixties and usually is a Delhi,
India, I think that typically has the

67
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,000
worst air quality of any city in
the world. They're actually ranked for the

68
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,879
worst air quality. I know the
cities in China too, that experience that

69
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,319
you'll often see again, you know, before a COVID or anything. You

70
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:35,879
would often see um people walking around
with face masks outside in these cities because

71
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:43,399
the air quality is so consistently bad. So, but apparently today New York

72
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,360
City has the dubious distinction of having
the worst air quality in the world.

73
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,480
I don't know if it's still that
way at this hour, but it was

74
00:05:51,519 --> 00:05:57,439
earlier in the day, and that's
unusual. And you know, it's not

75
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,439
their fault. They're getting the you
know, the Jenny had looked up online.

76
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,279
It shows how the winds, you
know, push the bad air and

77
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,560
uh so, for example, just
because of how the winds happen to be

78
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,759
blowing in Massachusetts, they actually have
worse air quality right now than we do

79
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,199
in New Hampshire, even though we're
kind of a buffer between Massachusetts and Canada.

80
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:25,480
The way the air is circulating through
the jet stream. Perhaps I'm not

81
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:29,720
a meteorologist. My knowledge of this
is limited, but so I don't know

82
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:31,720
the all the vocabulary. I don't
know the right terms for these things.

83
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,399
But whatever it is that causes the
air to move, we'll put it that

84
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:43,920
way, is actually send sending it
sort of around New Hampshire and into Massachusetts.

85
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,639
Not entirely, of course, it's
not missing us by any stretch.

86
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,360
The air quality in New Hampshire is
also rated very poorly, but they've got

87
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,720
it even worse in Massachusetts and in
New York. It's just terrible. So

88
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,800
so everybody you know be mindful of
that. I can tell you there was

89
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,879
a moment earlier in the day I
was outside and I thought I could actually

90
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:09,360
It hasn't affected my breathing at all
today. I do have asthma, and

91
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:12,240
I do carry a rescue in hiler, but I haven't had to use it,

92
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,399
so my breathing's been fine. But
there was a moment today where I

93
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:18,199
actually thought I could kind of taste
it. A little bit. As gross

94
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,879
as that sounds, I maybe some
of you've experienced that too, but I

95
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:28,279
thought I could actually taste it.
The air the bad air. So yeah,

96
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:30,040
so everyone just be mindful of that, be safe, don't don't be

97
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,079
outside if you don't have to be, don't be breathing this in. Something

98
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:45,000
that I didn't know is that if
you breathe in these particulants, is that

99
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,839
what they're called the tiny particles particulates
or particulates. I think it's particulates.

100
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:54,759
Again, I'm learning too. If
you breathe that in, you know,

101
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,639
they're so small that you don't know
that you're breathing them in, But they

102
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000
can get into your lungs of course
and affect you. But worse if if

103
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,079
that gets into your blood, and
it can get into your bloodstream, and

104
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,160
that can cause some pretty severe problems. So again, if you have any

105
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,040
kind of any kind of breathing problem, whether it's asthma or whatever, it

106
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:20,319
may be COPD or anything like that, be mindful any any sort of cardiovascular

107
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:24,439
issues, anything like that. Just
try not to try not to breathe outside.

108
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,439
I mean, if you have to
go outside, yes, you you

109
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,679
have to breathe. You actually,
interestingly enough, you have to breathe everywhere

110
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,720
you go. Everywhere you go,
every moment of your life does require breath.

111
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,080
You must breathe, but try not
to go outside and breathe in the

112
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:48,399
bad air. It's not good for
you. And you can look online too,

113
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,639
there's resources online for where you can
you can actually see I think nationally

114
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,919
right now it's it's the air quality
is rated very poor, very poor.

115
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,639
So there you go. And if
you're if you're inside, you know,

116
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,080
try to keep your windows closed.
Just try to avoid just try to avoid

117
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,360
it all. You don't need it. Oh and by the way, our

118
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,879
friend Kyle Heavey from Off the Mark
Sports, I was chatting with him earlier

119
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,799
and he reminded me I'd seen this
on the news. But he reminded me

120
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,879
too. Today happens to be Is
it National Running Day or World Running Day?

121
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:26,360
I think it's National Running Day.
So today's a day to encourage people

122
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:31,720
to get out and run. Don't
do that. Please do not go running

123
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,360
today. I don't care if today
is your normal day. Every Wednesday you

124
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,240
go for a big five k run
or something, or or maybe maybe you've

125
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:46,480
made a decision recently to start running
because you think it will be good for

126
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,440
you, and today was gonna be
the day you were gonna get out and

127
00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:56,159
run. Don't you have listen.
Maybe you're someone who you've been thinking about

128
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,519
taking up running, but you keep
coming up with excuses and then you don't

129
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:01,799
do it, and then you were
like, oh, today's today, No

130
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,200
more excuses, No, listen,
you actually have a valid excuse this time.

131
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,039
Please don't do that. Do not
go out and run. This is

132
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,080
the worst possible time to do that. Please don't do that today. All

133
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:18,960
right, there you go. So
that's your public service announcement for today.

134
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,759
The more you know. By the
way, a couple of programming notes.

135
00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:26,120
Well, let me give the numbers
first for the studio and everything if you'd

136
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,679
like to call us, and then
we'll get to our programming notes. We

137
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:33,000
do have an exciting show for you
today and an exciting show tomorrow as well.

138
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,039
But the studio line is open six
ZO three two five six ZO seven.

139
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:39,799
If you would like to call in
six zo three two five h six

the Facebook live chat and we will
say hello everybody in there in a moment.

144
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,039
But the best thing to do so
that we can hear and enjoy your

147
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:16,240
show today, we've got some other
news items to tackle in the first hour,

148
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,960
but coming up at the top of
the hour, our friend Holly Brewer

149
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,360
is going to be calling in.
A very talented musician. We have featured

150
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,799
her music on the show before and
she's been a guest with us in studio.

151
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,360
But she has a brand new single
called Clothesline, and so today is

152
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:35,759
the world radio premiere. You know, we love the world radio premieres with

153
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:41,600
music, So the world radio premiere
of her new single, Clothesline will be

154
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,440
today, and she will be calling
us at the top of the hour.

155
00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:48,120
And what we're actually going to do
is play one of her other songs that

156
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:50,679
I really like that I have played
on the show before, very positive and

157
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:56,399
affirming song called don't un a Live
View. It's an unusual song, but

158
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,279
it's it's meaningful, don't un a
Live View. Uh, So we're gonna

159
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,440
actually play that close to the top
of the hour, and then we'll get

160
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:07,440
We'll get Holly Brewer on the phone
with us and we'll chat for a bit.

161
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,720
She can tell us all about the
news single, and then at the

162
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,879
end of the segment we will do
the world premiere of Clothesline, the brand

163
00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:18,960
new song from Holly Brewer, which
is great. She's a she's very interesting.

164
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,759
Her personal story is fascinating. Uh. If you if you would like

165
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,360
to feel free to go back,
and you know, you can do a

166
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:33,159
search just uh. Actually the easiest
way probably just go on Google the Google

167
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,639
uh and type in Matt Connerton Holly
Brewer and you can find my interview with

168
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:41,000
her from when she was on the
show a few years ago. She's got

169
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,679
a fascinating backstory, really really interesting. But but her music is great too,

170
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,360
So that's going to be on the
docket today. Also at the top

171
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,600
of the show, we played a
great track from Dank Sinatra, my personal

172
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:56,799
favorite Dank Sinatra track, Air between
Us. They are going to be here

173
00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:00,879
with us in studio tomorrow for a
world radio premiere. They've got some new

174
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,759
music and we're it sounds like we're
gonna play a few of their songs,

175
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,080
several of their brand new songs from
their brand new album tomorrow. Can't wait.

176
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,440
I know our friend Fredo Alfredo Enrique
Benavitis will be here, and I'm

177
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,720
not sure who else he's bringing.
If he's bringing an Axel, I can

178
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,759
never remember how to say his last
name. Is it Bagley? I think

179
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,480
it's Bagley. Axel's last name is
how you say it? The way it's

180
00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:26,240
spelled, it's it's got too many, too many vowels, not enough consonants.

181
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,159
It looks like you could say it
a few different ways. But I

182
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,879
think it's Bagley. But so we'll
see if Axel is with him too.

183
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:33,679
I'm not sure who is showing up
from the band exactly, but we really

184
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,159
look forward to that. So that
will be tomorrow on the program. But

185
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,080
that's why I played my favorite Dank
Sinatra song to open today's show. But

186
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,960
we'll get to hear some brand new
stuff tomorrow on the program, so that's

187
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,360
gonna be a lot of fun.
Something else I played at the top of

188
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,399
this show too that you might have
wondered about. I played a wrestling promo

189
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:54,799
from the Iron Cheek. Why would
I do that? Well, Rest in

190
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,759
peace, Iron Cheek. He passed
away today. It was announced. I

191
00:13:58,799 --> 00:14:01,360
believe at the age of eight one. I have not seen a cause of

192
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:07,960
death. But the Iron Chiku he
was um. When I first started watching

193
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,399
wrestling when I was a kid,
he was a pretty big deal. Actually,

194
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,240
when I first started watching he was
he had already been a big deal

195
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,879
for a long time. I think
that when I first started watching, he

196
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:20,320
was in a tag team with Nikolai
Volkoff. Now Nikolai Volkoff was not really

197
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:26,279
uh if you if you ever heard
him speak in his normal voice, he

198
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,440
was not really a Russian, uh, this evil Russian guy. But the

199
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:35,799
Iron Chic was legit. The Iron
Chek was not playing an Iranian. He

200
00:14:35,879 --> 00:14:43,879
really was Iranian. He had um
you know, he had wrestled for Iran

201
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,919
in the Olympics on the wrestling team
Legit. He had worked for I can't

202
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:54,159
remember now the name, the name
of the you know, they're the they

203
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,320
protect the the Ayatollahs in Iran,
the protection force that you know, they're

204
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,759
they're kind of like their version of
the Secret Service. Uh. He had

205
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:09,440
he had been one of those guys, a really legit guy. Uh.

206
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,440
In recent years he had become a
little bit of a social media phenomenon,

207
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,799
which I think actually started with his
appearances on the Howard Stern Show. He

208
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:22,000
would go on the Howard Stern Show
and be totally in character, and I

209
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,039
can't play any of that on this
program. I could play the wrestling promo,

210
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,879
but I can't play any of the
Howard Stern interviews because those would get

211
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:33,600
he would you know. It was
on serious XM satellite radio, so he

212
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,840
could be completely uncensored, and uh, he took well advantage of that.

213
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,759
So I can't play any of that
stuff, certainly. But it was fun

214
00:15:41,799 --> 00:15:45,320
to open with one of his wrestling
promos. Great promo, very intense guy.

215
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,679
But and that's who Whole Coogan beat
for the title at Madison Square Garden,

216
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,799
the Iron Cheek, because the Iron
Cheek had beaten Bob Backland and then

217
00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:00,720
only held the title I think for
a month, and then Whole Coogan beat

218
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,919
the Iron Cheek and then a whole
comania was running wild. But the Iron

219
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,679
Cheek continued to be quite relevant.
So rest in peace to the Iron Cheek.

220
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:14,919
A very very entertaining, entertaining guy. Let's see. Oh, one

221
00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:18,240
other programming note I should mention because
some of you are probably wondering. It

222
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,519
is Wednesday and usually on Wednesday,
during the first hour, we do our

223
00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:27,919
weekly segment with our friend Eric Pilcher
from a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and

224
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,080
No Eric. Today. Eric is
still very upset, and he's he's still

225
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,080
posting that hashtag get Eric a shirt, and he's just, uh, he's

226
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,039
sitting out the show out of protest. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

227
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,159
No, he uh. Actually he's
just at at an appointment, so

228
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,600
he can't be here today. So
I think that I think that whole bit's

229
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:53,679
kind of I was gonna try to
keep the bit going a little bit longer

230
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,360
by saying, yeah, he's sitting
out out of protests, but I don't

231
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:02,440
know all the smog outside that it
makes me not want to keep the bit

232
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,839
going. I guess that's a weird
way for it to affect me. But

233
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,240
no Eric. But but here is
the cruel irony. Though, there is

234
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,799
a cruel irony to Eric not being
available to join us today. And you

235
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:18,079
know what it is, Two big
stories just happened that I actually was really

236
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,960
looking forward to getting his opinion on
and talking to him about one of them

237
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,559
being Chris licked out as the head
of CNN. He is no longer running

238
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,599
CNN, And of course, you
know, the segment that I do with

239
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Eric on Wednesday's focus is largely on
news about the news, news about media,

240
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,279
both big media and independent media,
Internet media, etc. But so

241
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:48,400
we talk a lot about cable news
and the various goings on and but we'll

242
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,000
have to hold off on that and
the other big story too, not so

243
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,319
much media, more of a sports
story. But but it's something that Eric

244
00:17:55,319 --> 00:18:00,799
and I have talked about a lot, is the merger between the PGA and

245
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:04,359
Live Golf. And again I'm not
a sports guy, but we've talked about

246
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,880
that before on the show. Because
now it's like golf is being we might

247
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:12,839
we might get into that today a
little bit anyway, but golf seems to

248
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,960
be being taken over by Saudi Arabia's
PIF the what is it, the Public

249
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,200
Investment Fund in Saudi Arabia. We
might get to that anyway. It's not

250
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,319
like I'm gonna sit on these stories
until next week to save them for Eric,

251
00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:30,839
because if I do that, in
the meantime, a million other things

252
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,920
will happen that we can talk about
next week with Eric. So but no

253
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,279
Eric today, So it's just me
for the first hour and then, like

254
00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:38,839
I said, our friend Hollybrewer will
be calling in in the second hour,

255
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,000
but you can call in in the
meantime and then we'll say hello everybody in

256
00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:45,680
the Facebook live chat. But six
ZHO three two five six Z seven is

257
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:52,880
the studio line six zoo three two
five six seven. Let's see, we

258
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,400
will say hello everybody in the chat
quickly. Here, Oh, Greg Joseph

259
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,559
is in the chat room. Greg
not only is one of the great sponsors

260
00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:07,880
here at WMNH with Clementos Clemento's Pizza
ree. Uh, but Greg also now

261
00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:12,720
is making regular appearances on the Morning
show with Peter White, so very good

262
00:19:12,759 --> 00:19:15,799
and he's good on the on the
radio. Two. He's got a Greg

263
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,160
has a really good sense of humor. So I like hearing him on there.

264
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,079
But Mike Oil is on the line. Hello, Mike, Hey Greg,

265
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,359
I mean hey Greg? Hey,
Yeah, man, how you doing

266
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,640
well? You can say hi to
Greg two. He's in the chat room.

267
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,799
Yeah, okay, hey Greg.
Um. He is a character.

268
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,039
He is quite a character. Yeah, he's he's he's very good on the

269
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:37,240
air. I like hearing him out
on the morning show. He's very good.

270
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,319
Yeah, he's got that. He's
got that natural ability about him just

271
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,240
to speak to people. Yeah,
yeah, make you make you feel welcome,

272
00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:47,559
you know, yeah, absolutely,
Hey, it turned you. I

273
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,519
wanted to call you yesterday to keep
in the subject of the matter of the

274
00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:52,640
day. But and you were talking
to Dave Ridley, and I was a

275
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,559
little bit taken aback by what you
said about Kelsey Gabbert and uh, and

276
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,440
I know how much of a and
you were at one time for her.

277
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,799
And and what caught my aunt,
well it caught my ear yesterday was how

278
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,079
you went. You went. You
said, she went so far to the

279
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160
other side, and I was thinking
about it, and I was saying,

280
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:18,200
well, she really didn't go that
far. She was a centrist Democrat and

281
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,680
she jumped over the independent line and
is now kind of like a centrist Republican.

282
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,039
And her big get I get to
see her quite a bit because she's

283
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:32,039
on Fox all the time now too, And I don't see her on CNN.

284
00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:34,119
I flip over, but I never
see her on there. And her

285
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:41,240
big thing now is two things,
the foreign policy of this country and was

286
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,920
including oil and that whole bit.
And then her bigger complaint constantly is how

287
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,839
she fought for the independence of this
country. And she can't stand what's going

288
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:55,279
on with the Department of Justice and
FBI and the corruption going on there of

289
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,240
not turning over documents and things like
that that have been going on for the

290
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:03,200
last you know, five six years. And so those are her two big

291
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,759
arguments. But the main point was
I don't think she went that far.

292
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,880
I just think she went from I
couldn't stand with the Democrats were doing,

293
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,079
so she just jumped over to a
centrist Republican. And I was wondering your

294
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,880
thoughts on that. Yeah, so
you don't. You probably don't watch or

295
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,960
listen to any of the podcasts that
she goes on or anything like that,

296
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:26,279
do you. I don't. Yeah, she's very uh yeah. I mean

297
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,200
I'm suspicious of someone who was a
centrist Democrat who now seems to because she

298
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:36,240
does get into other issues on those
podcasts. For example, she seems she

299
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:41,799
seems to be very pro Russia,
very anti Ukraine, and that I find

300
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:47,960
troubling. I find that troubling with
anybody Republican or a Democrat. So I

301
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,720
think she's kind of and that so
that alone puts her in sort of the

302
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:55,960
same lane as some of these other
people who because there's some other like,

303
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,920
there's this guy I'll give you an
example, and again he's strictly online,

304
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,400
although I did see him on Rack
Carlson once. There's this guy, Jackson

305
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Hinkel, who used to be like
a big socialist and then all of a

306
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:14,480
sudden, Russia invades Ukraine and he
starts doing all this pro Russia stuff and

307
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:17,559
next thing I know, I'm seeing
him on Tucker Carlson and then he's going

308
00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:23,559
on all these podcasts and he's completely
a different guy. He completely switched his

309
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:27,400
opinions on everything. And with some
of these people, if you dig in,

310
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:30,720
and by the way, I don't
have it at the ready, but

311
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,440
I've read some of it. Sometimes
when you look at these people, Mike

312
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,680
who seem to have changed a lot, and it may have been in my

313
00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:45,000
view, she's changed quite a bit. Sometimes if you dig into where they're

314
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,160
getting funding from, say they have
like a guy like Jackson Hinkle, you

315
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,160
can find out who's actually paying him
and who's funding him, and why he

316
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,440
seems to have had this change of
heart on so many things. And then

317
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,480
you find out, oh, okay, I see what's going on here,

318
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:03,000
so listen. I don't know what's
in Tulsea Gabbard's mind and what's in her

319
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,039
heart. But I have some suspicions. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's all

320
00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,000
Sincere. I don't know. I
really I really doubt it. But that's

321
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:14,680
just my opinion. I can't read
her mind, so I don't know.

322
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,440
Yeah, I don't listen to her
on the podcast. So, yeah,

323
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,680
did you say anti American, pro
Russia, anti American? I no,

324
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,440
no, I missed that. Nope, I said pro Russia, anti Ukraine.

325
00:23:26,559 --> 00:23:30,319
Oh gotcha? Okay, yeah,
yeah I didn't. It bleeped out

326
00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:33,240
and I couldn't hear. But no, she just I don't know. She

327
00:23:33,319 --> 00:23:37,720
talks. She talks the same as
she talked when she was a Democrat,

328
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:42,640
kind of normal as fire as just
to me, I hear just common sense

329
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,720
stuff, you know. She just
she seems very grounded, very you know,

330
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,319
anti war, pro America, you
know, a lot of stuff like

331
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,240
that. And I just think every
time I hear now she cannot stop talking

332
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,799
about the FBI and the DJ and
and that is that is a little bit

333
00:24:00,799 --> 00:24:03,000
of an issue. I know some
people don't want to talk about it,

334
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,079
don't want to, but you know, there's oversight committees to these to the

335
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,400
DJ and the FBI, and they're
saying, hey, we want to see

336
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,640
these documents, and they say no, I mean that there's a problem there,

337
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,920
you know. It's that's like your
boss telling you no more music on

338
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,920
your shows, and the first day
you go in you you play music.

339
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,079
I mean, it just shouldn't happen, you know what I mean. You'd

340
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:27,400
probably get knocked off the station if
that happened. But for them not turning

341
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:33,839
over documents in a secure location that
these congressmen can see, and then redacting

342
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:36,240
a lot of these documents, you
know, don't we all want to know

343
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:38,559
the truth, don't We want to
just know if there was corruption or something

344
00:24:38,559 --> 00:24:42,720
we want to know, don't we
don't want that continuing. And so anyways,

345
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:47,079
that's all, but that I just
thought that you had thought you going

346
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,279
so far the way I think you
use the word so far, and I'm

347
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:52,440
like, I don't know if it's
that far, you know what I mean?

348
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,400
On the scale, she was never
hired core left and she's not a

349
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,559
high I don't think she's had core
right. But she has definitely just jumped

350
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:04,160
the ladder from left to right for
sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

351
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,880
I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty pretty suspicious
ever, but who knows. Oh yeah,

352
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,680
oh yeah, that's one one to
be And you're you're you're absolutely right

353
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,559
about the money thing. I mean, yeah, follow the money pretty much

354
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:19,839
anyway, agreed takes over pretty much
all Trump's all, you know, absolutely

355
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,160
absolutely and uh so when yeah,
yeah, exactly, so all right,

356
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,359
Well, good show. I didn't
want to direct what path you were heading

357
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,640
down, but I wanted to call
you yesterday and and talk to you about

358
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,680
it. Hey, and by the
way, uh, just a note of

359
00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:41,400
positive from a outsider. I'm not
a big music guy, and but I

360
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,319
listened to some of these records you
play and some of these new people you

361
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:51,200
have one and I find some of
the music fascinating. I find the different

362
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:55,279
thoughts behind it, the different genres, the different some of you. There

363
00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:59,240
was one you played that was so
instant, it was huge, instrumental with

364
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,359
little vote goals, and I found
it sad. I go, what a

365
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,359
great song. That is just a
talent that goes into so yeah. So

366
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,559
some of these, uh, some
of these musicians who people may not know

367
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,720
or may not like their kind of
music. If you if you know,

368
00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:15,319
if you take the time to just
listen, listen to it. Out.

369
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:17,799
You know, if you don't like
it, you're saying it's not me.

370
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,200
But you've had some arm that are
really really tripped my sensory for Oh good

371
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,160
for good talent and good music.
So ah, then to throw that as

372
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,640
a positive note, Oh that's good
to hear, thanks, Mike. Yeah,

373
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,759
Jenny has been doing all the booking
and she's she's finding a lot if

374
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:36,839
there's so much great talent out there, and uh oh sure yeah yeah,

375
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:41,640
and we've really tried to kudos to
her. Then the she's doing she's doing

376
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480
a great job. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Well, I'm glad you

377
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,640
I'm glad you're enjoying it. Mike. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback

378
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,799
on that, so I appreciate it. All right, Yeah, talk to

379
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:52,599
you later, all right, Mike, Thanks by by all right, that

380
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,799
was our friend Mike Doyle, And
that does open up a line for you.

381
00:26:56,839 --> 00:27:00,519
Six zo three two five six seven
six zho three two five six seven.

382
00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:06,519
I wonder if the song he was
referring to. I occasionally play a

383
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:14,440
song called song four from the band
Dust Profit and that's that's the only real

384
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:19,559
because I'm not big on instrumentals,
but I love that song and that always

385
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:23,240
gets a big that always gets a
big response from the audience too, because

386
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,880
whenever I play that song, people
in the chat room say they love it.

387
00:27:26,319 --> 00:27:30,559
And you know what's really funny about
that. I'll share something a little,

388
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,200
uh, a little behind the scenes
with you. By the way,

389
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:36,680
Mike, if you're still listening,
Jenny in the chat room says, thank

390
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,759
you for your your comment there.
Yeah, she does. She does a

391
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:42,160
great job with the booking. And
that's something too. We've kind of tried

392
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,680
to sort of change about the show
a little bit in twenty twenty three,

393
00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:48,599
is you know, because we used
to do musical guests maybe two or three

394
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,599
times a month, you know,
now it's more like two or three times

395
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:56,759
a week. And uh, it's
it's the feedback that we've gotten just across

396
00:27:56,839 --> 00:27:59,519
the board on that has been phenomenal. And it's good for me too.

397
00:27:59,519 --> 00:28:02,799
It's good for my mental health.
I think to you know this something,

398
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:07,480
as much as I love politics,
I think it sometimes I think almost maybe

399
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,799
I'll love it too much, But
there's something rejuvenating about talking to musicians.

400
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,000
But it's funny. So I was
talking yesterday online. Now I'm not gonna

401
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,039
be able to find it Oh yeah, my friend Otto Kinsel from the band

402
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:26,720
dust Profit. I opened yesterday's show
with one of his songs because dust Profit

403
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:33,920
was one of the bands playing at
Jewel last night and with that event with

404
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,519
Sepsis and Dead Reckoning, they were
here yesterday in studio with us, which

405
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:41,759
was very cool. It was wonderful
to meet them. And uh, but

406
00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:44,480
I was. I messaged Auto because
Auto was on this show too, and

407
00:28:44,759 --> 00:28:45,880
you know, we played Dust Profit
and I told him, I said,

408
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,839
I said, I'm gonna open with
song four today on the show because it

409
00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:57,519
always gets such a great response.
And yeah, I said to him,

410
00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:02,480
I'm opening today's show with song four. That's one that one gets a very

411
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,759
positive response from my listeners. And
he said to me, this is interesting,

412
00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:11,279
he said, oh sweet, I'm
surprised and instrumental gets such a response

413
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,319
because people tend to not like instrumentals
as much. But yeah, that one

414
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:19,480
does. But then he asked me, He did say, any chance you

415
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,160
could play a song with vocals in
it and set instead, which is why

416
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,079
I played. So instead of that, I played. I honored his request.

417
00:29:27,119 --> 00:29:32,400
I played hour Glass, which is
my favorite Dust Prophet song that does

418
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,559
have vocals. But but but that
was his reaction when he was surprised that

419
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:40,480
that people like the instrumental so much. But but but yeah, they do.

420
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:42,079
Whenever I play song four, even
though there's no vocals on it,

421
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:45,960
people really dig it. And and
that's probably the song that Mike was thinking

422
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,839
of, because other than that,
I don't really play I don't usually play

423
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,640
instrumentals. I think there might have
been somebody else on the show I had

424
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,279
recently who had an instrumental that I
played, but I can't remember now,

425
00:29:56,319 --> 00:30:00,400
but it was probably that. But
yes, thank you again Mike for the

426
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,759
for the call six three two five
six Z seven. If you'd like to

433
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:30,000
I played at the top of the
show. A little bit of a longer

434
00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:33,640
intro today just because I had some
last minute things I was trying to figure

guest on their show. I'm honored. Greg Joseph from Clementos I mentioned is

447
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,680
in the chat. J Fed says, I guess I could call in and

448
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:51,880
take over that job for Eric Pilcher. I'll already have a shirt actually too.

449
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,960
Oh lucky. Tom Blanchard joins us
in the Facebook live chat and says

450
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,319
hello people. Hello Tom. Charles
Richardson from the state Florida joins us in

451
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:04,319
the chat room. Charles says,
Hi, there everyone, Good afternoon,

452
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:09,799
Good afternoon, Charles. Let's see. Isaac Banks says I'm back hashtag Matt

453
00:32:09,839 --> 00:32:16,720
Connerton. And I was dusting stuff
for my grandma, Eloise Keck Eloise.

454
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,200
That would be a grandma's name,
wouldn't it. I've never met I don't

455
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:27,039
think I've ever met anyone younger than
ninety named Eloise. I'm exaggerating, of

456
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,039
course, eighty five. I don't
think I've ever met anyone under eighty five

457
00:32:30,119 --> 00:32:37,200
named Eloise. Let's see. Isaac
Banks also said so, and we will

458
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:44,359
be doing this show of US is
JP and IB show on our cell phones.

459
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:50,039
And also you can voicemail call me
to do this show hashtag Matt Connerton

460
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,759
voicemail to call me. Well,
I will, I'll try, I make

461
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,039
I make no commitments. I'm a
very, very busy man, but I

462
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:05,960
will do my best. Sounds like
an experience. Miriam Banish joins us in

463
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,559
the Facebook Live yet Hello, Miriam. Tony Petrello says I think Eric should

464
00:33:09,559 --> 00:33:15,240
review Blazing Saddles. Ah Yes,
a mel Brooks classic, not without some

465
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:20,480
controversy. There's some things in that
film, some words that are spoken that

466
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:22,920
you you really couldn't get away with
today, I suppose. But um,

467
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:29,160
but a great film, very very
funny. That was Peake mel Brooks,

468
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,799
I would say, I would say
that was Peake mel Brooks. What would

469
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:37,200
be the uh, the opposite of
non Peak mel Brooks would probably be uh

470
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:44,599
Robin Hood men in tights, which
is horrific. But all right, let's

471
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,440
uh six three two five six seven
six three two five six seven. We

472
00:33:49,559 --> 00:33:52,960
don't have a lot of time left
in the segments, so we might just

473
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:57,160
do something quick. I do have
something I want to do today, but

474
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,960
we'll have to save it for our
number two numero doos after our conversation with

475
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,559
Holly Brewer. But just to give
you a little preview, we do have

476
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,559
a couple of new entrant well,
actually we have a few recent new entrants

477
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:17,000
into the Republican nomination race. We
have Chris Christie, former governor of New

478
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:23,400
Jersey, has announced he announced yesterday. Doug. I'm not even familiar with

479
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,400
the guy, Doug Bergham from is
it North Dakota? He is in all

480
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,599
I know about him is he's pretty
conservative. That's all I know. I

481
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:35,159
think his name am I even saying
his name correctly, Doug Burgham. I

482
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,000
don't know anything about the guy,
but I guess we're gonna have to learn.

483
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:46,159
And today this afternoon, former Vice
President Mike Pence made his announcement and

484
00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:50,159
something that we'll do and again we'll
have to save it. It's it's too

485
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,400
much to get into now because it's
already past quarter of it's uh, fourteen

486
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,679
minutes to the top of the hour, as I might say if I were

487
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:10,199
more committed to being a standard radio
host. But yeah, well we'll have

488
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,800
to do that in the second hour
because what I want to do is I

489
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,719
actually want to play part of the
speech and offer some thoughts. And I

490
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,079
know what some of you might be
thinking. You might be thinking, Matt,

491
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:24,559
you actually want to play some of
Mike Pence's announcement today on the show.

492
00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:30,079
You actually want to play it on
the show. Are you trying to

493
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:35,000
torture us? Why would you do
that? And are you trying to punish

494
00:35:35,039 --> 00:35:37,159
us in some way? To which
I would say, well, I'm afraid

495
00:35:37,199 --> 00:35:44,920
so, because listen, I have
some spies out there and doing some reconnaissance

496
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,400
and some of you have been very
bad. No, I'm kidding. I'm

497
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,639
totally kidding. No, I love
and appreciate you all. No, the

498
00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:57,119
reason I want to do that is
just part of it because it was a

499
00:35:57,199 --> 00:36:00,480
surprise to me, a bit of
a surprise. It was more interesting than

500
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:07,079
I expected. And we'll talk about
I mean, listen, if you think

501
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:09,079
of it like a play. You
know how a play you've got the first

502
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:13,440
act, the second act, the
third act, and really anything is like

503
00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:16,320
that. Like movies are like that
too. I mean, unlike with a

504
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:21,880
play with a movie. With a
film, it's not clearly delineated right which

505
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,880
acts which, but the way it
flows and the way it's constructed it is

506
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,800
it's in three acts. And political
speech is also. You tend to have

507
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,239
an act one an act to an
act three. And Mike Pence's speech today

508
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,559
act one was very predictable, very
dry, very dull, and honestly,

509
00:36:38,559 --> 00:36:43,519
it sounded like it could have been
written by AI. You know, like

510
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:50,079
you could have if you said to
chat GPT, write me Mike Pence presidential

511
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:53,920
announcement candidacy speech, and that's what
it would have. No disrespect any of

512
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,800
our friends in Greensware in North Carolina. But that's what it would have spit

513
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,880
out right, So we won't be
discussing Act one at all. Act two

514
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,639
gets interesting though, And again,
if you didn't hear it, you might

515
00:37:08,679 --> 00:37:13,320
be thinking, how could a Mike
Penn's speech be interesting? Well, it

516
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,639
kind of. It was a little
different than what I expected. We'll just

517
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:20,440
say that. We'll leave it at
that for now, but we'll get to

518
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,639
it. I do want to go
over that today, time permitting, but

519
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:30,519
we'll save that for the second hour. The other big story, actually,

520
00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:38,039
I think I did mention it earlier. Chris licked is out at CNN after

521
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:47,760
only I think thirteen months. I
was actually in the car and checking out

522
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,840
the news as part of my show
prep, and uh, they don't say,

523
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,639
live on CNN, we have breaking
They did the breaking news sound effect,

524
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:58,519
and then whoever it was I didn't
catch who the anchor was in that

525
00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,159
moment, said uh, well we
some news regarding this network. And I

526
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,400
was like, Oh, they're reporting
some news on their own network about their

527
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,400
own network. That's awkward, but
uh, and they made the announcement,

528
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:15,880
um media it has it, but
that's an opinion piece. I don't want

529
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:22,679
an opinion piece. I just want
the facts. Just give me the facts.

530
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:28,079
Just give me some truth. Like
John Lennon sang, I'm gonna have

531
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:32,119
to go to a different site for
that. That's a song I haven't played

532
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:38,480
in a long time. Just give
me some truth. Let's seem so.

533
00:38:38,559 --> 00:38:43,440
Maybe now Don Lemon gets to come
back. No, I'm kidding. I

534
00:38:43,519 --> 00:38:52,840
don't think that's in the offing.
Um let's see. Oh, Politico has

535
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:58,920
a tantalizing story. The real reason
Chris Licked got fired. Let's look at

536
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,079
this shell. We I like to
know the real reason. We don't always

537
00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:06,519
find out the real reasons for these
things. Although this might be speculation,

538
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:13,400
Actually I suspect that it is.
Well, we'll look at this. This

539
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,320
is from Politico. This is Jack
Schaefer writes, Chris Licht got canned this

540
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,800
morning, truncating his chairmanship of CNN
to a brief thirteen months. The proximate

541
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:28,800
catalyst for his departure was Tim Alberta's
days old, fifteen thousand word profile ah

542
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:37,000
Yes in The Atlantic titled Inside the
Meltdown at CNN, which excavated Lick's mistakes

543
00:39:37,039 --> 00:39:40,519
at the helm and his personal shortcomings
as network boss. But it was,

544
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,840
but it was more than that.
To fully explain it, you'll need a

545
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:50,639
team with the skills of National Transportation
Safety Board investigators to sort and tell all

546
00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:53,639
of the elements that led to his
abrupt crash, and then complete a four

547
00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:00,320
hundred fifty six page follow up report
eighteen months later. If such a report

548
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,760
were written, it would explain that
Licked wasn't the right guy for the job

549
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,599
of CNN's revamping. It would note
that even if he wasn't the perfect candidate,

550
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:14,360
nobody could be expected to turn a
network like CNN around in thirteen months.

551
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:19,480
That he was expected to do the
impossible, both remake the network and

552
00:40:19,559 --> 00:40:23,280
help its parent corporation, Warner Brothers
Discovery reach its cost cutting goal of three

553
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,760
and a half billion to cover the
fifty billion dollar debtload incurred from the merger

554
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,719
of the two companies one year ago. We have a call, We'll grab

555
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:43,239
this. Oh, nobody there.
Never mind that the Donald Trump town hall

556
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,599
he organized was received as a disaster, that he never won the support of

557
00:40:46,599 --> 00:40:51,239
the journalists who manufacture of the news
at CNN, And that's just for starters.

558
00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:54,159
There might not be an airplane hangar
big enough to hold all of the

559
00:40:54,199 --> 00:40:59,719
broken parts for the investigators to paw
over. So it sounds like what we

560
00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:02,119
have time to go through the whole
thing, But it sounds like what the

561
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:08,119
author of this article is suggesting is
that he never had a chance. But

562
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,039
there was that piece. I haven't
had a chance to really look at it,

563
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,159
but there was that piece in the
Atlantic that apparently was pretty devastating to

564
00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:21,559
this man's reputation. But again,
that's one of the things that I wanted

565
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:25,280
to talk about today with our friend
Eric Pilcher, but Eric is not able

566
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,800
to be with us this afternoon,
so well, I'm sure we'll dig into

567
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,519
that more the next time that he's
on or before then. But yeah,

568
00:41:32,559 --> 00:41:37,440
another big shake up, and apparently
there's some sort of he's being replaced in

569
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:43,719
the interim until a new a new
head of the network has chosen with this

570
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,199
sort of management team that's been cobbled
together to kind of run things, a

571
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:52,280
leadership team. I think it's being
called to run things in the absence of

572
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:57,719
someone officially at the helm at CNN. But I do find I do find

573
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,800
these things fascinating. I have to, Jenny, and I should probably because

574
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,880
everyone says we would love at that
show Succession, which is about a fictional

575
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:09,320
television network and all the drama,
the internal drama that goes on off air

576
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,079
at it, and the family that
runs it and so forth. It does

577
00:42:13,119 --> 00:42:15,280
sound like something I would enjoy tremendously, and I think Jenny would too.

578
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:21,000
But I keep forgetting whenever we're looking
for something to maybe watch together. You

579
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:23,800
know, somehow it always falls out
of my head, and then I remember

580
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,719
when I'm on the air, Wait
a minute, everyone keeps telling me,

581
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:30,320
I gotta check out Succession. All
right, we are approaching the top of

582
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,199
the r So here's where we're going
to do. We're gonna take a quick

583
00:42:32,199 --> 00:42:37,920
break. We're gonna show some love
to our amazing sponsors, and then we're

584
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,639
gonna play a Holly Brewer track.
We're gonna play a song that she released

585
00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:45,920
a number of months ago called Don't
un Alive View. And then when we

586
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,239
come back, she should be on
the phone with us. We're gonna chat

587
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,719
for a bit, get caught up
with her, and then we're gonna debut

588
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:57,400
the world radio premiere of her brand
new single called Clothesline. Really looking forward

589
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,039
to that. So there is plenty
more to come. So and by the

590
00:43:01,079 --> 00:43:05,559
way, No, the sky still
has not opened up, despite there being

591
00:43:05,599 --> 00:43:08,440
some very threatening looking clouds out there. The trend continues. It looks like

592
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,639
it's gonna rain, then it doesn't
rain. It seems to happen on a

593
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:15,199
regular basis. Now worries me a
little bit, but again, I think

594
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:17,719
it would help. I think it
would help wash away some of the smog.

595
00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:21,480
All right, anyway, all right, we're gonna take a break.

596
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,079
There's plenty more to come. Don't

619
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,000

620
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,159
I Think from April, Don't un
Alive you, and of course at the

621
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,760
end of our converence, at the
end of our conversation today, we're going

622
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,719
to play the brand new single clothes
Line, which is really great, really

623
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,920
cool. But it's wonderful to speak
with you again. It's it's been a

624
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,320
while. I was just saying earlier, how you were here with us in

625
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,639
studio, but I can't remember when
time it all runs together, you know

626
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:52,480
it, but it was you had
shared your your personal story with us,

627
00:47:52,599 --> 00:47:54,239
uh, the last time you were
on with us, and it was quite

628
00:47:54,280 --> 00:48:00,320
a quite a conversation. But how
how have you h So, having having

629
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,199
said that, how have you been? How how are things these days?

630
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:07,800
You're still making some very interesting,
very unique music, which is wonderful.

631
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:14,840
Well, every month I write and
record and release a one new song twenty

632
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:19,079
nineteen and I've never skipped a month
yet, no kidding now, now that's

633
00:48:19,119 --> 00:48:22,679
interesting. So why, um,
how did that come about? Where you

634
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:28,199
put yourself into that that routine where
every single month you and do you limit

635
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,519
yourself to only do you only do
one song a month? Or is it

636
00:48:30,599 --> 00:48:37,920
ever more than that? I only
release one song a month, but uh,

637
00:48:37,639 --> 00:48:40,679
like, for instance, a few
days ago, I think I wrote

638
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:45,519
six songs in a few hours.
Okay, So they all sort of line

639
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:50,360
up in a hallway and they kind
of jump up and down every month,

640
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,119
and whoever elbows their way to the
front gets recorded. Okay, okay,

641
00:48:54,639 --> 00:48:58,480
So what kind of a back what
kind of a backlog of songs do you

642
00:48:58,599 --> 00:49:00,440
have? Then? Do you do? You have a lot that are kind

643
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:07,480
of in the queue that you haven't
recorded yet? I go every minute.

644
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:13,400
There's too many today, it's like
blades of grass. But the the what

645
00:49:13,559 --> 00:49:17,599
inspired it to begin was the last
full album I completed. I wrote and

646
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:23,199
recorded the whole thing in seven or
eight days. Wow. And I was

647
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:30,119
realizing, but there's just a lot
that needs to happen, that needs to

648
00:49:30,199 --> 00:49:32,519
come out and all the time.
And I was like, I can do

649
00:49:32,639 --> 00:49:36,239
one song a month, that's totally
great. But usually what I do is

650
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,920
I wait till the last four days
of the month, and then I have

651
00:49:39,079 --> 00:49:45,320
nothing recorded and no artwork for it, and then I spend four days putting

652
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,039
together the music that I hear in
my head, trying to make it sound

653
00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:51,920
exactly as close as I can,
and then I bust out the artwork as

654
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,960
fast as possible, and then I
usually do about two hours to record the

655
00:49:57,079 --> 00:50:00,320
voice, and then I spend about
twenty minutes mixing and mass thring, and

656
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,199
then I send it away. And
I've always said I'll go back and and

657
00:50:04,519 --> 00:50:07,159
revisit it before I release it to
the public, but I never do.

658
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:13,320
Is that Do you find that actually
helpful? Because in one sense it sounds

659
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:15,880
stressful, you know, waiting until
it's almost the end of the month and

660
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,599
then kind of rushing to do it. But then again, a lot of

661
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,440
artists will say that they really do
work better under pressure. When it comes

662
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,079
to something like that, it kind
of forces you to, you know,

663
00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:31,320
to get creative. Is that your
experience? I think what it is is

664
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:37,119
I've been helping I've been helping one
of my friends die, and I'm taking

665
00:50:37,199 --> 00:50:43,039
care of a really old cat for
a friend, and I'm building a house,

666
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,719
and there's always this stuff to do, lots of other things to do.

667
00:50:46,119 --> 00:50:52,480
But I think the reason why I
have ended up putting it off is

668
00:50:52,199 --> 00:50:57,480
I spend the whole month sort of
not fretting about it, but really trying

669
00:50:57,519 --> 00:51:01,960
to get a very clear picture,
like the aperture wide open for a really

670
00:51:02,119 --> 00:51:07,000
long time, so that I can
pretty much recognize the song from any angle

671
00:51:07,119 --> 00:51:12,480
that I look at it and then
I will record it. Okay, okay,

672
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:19,920
yeah, your music is obviously very
unique. Don't un alive view is

673
00:51:20,039 --> 00:51:23,320
it doesn't sound like anything I've ever
heard before, which is cool, which

674
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:27,880
is awesome. You know, I
love I love hearing unique things that you

675
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,639
know because they say it's all been
done and then you know, you hear

676
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:32,360
something and you say, well,
though, actually it hasn't quite all been

677
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:38,239
done, you know what I mean? But that one specifically is about I

678
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:43,840
guess last April I or no.
Two aprils ago, I started having a

679
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:49,719
neurological disorder where I was having standing
seizures that were vocal seizures and they were

680
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,880
really stressing me out because I couldn't
figure out what it was because it's so

681
00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:59,760
internal. And my brain started saying
things like remember how much you like dress?

682
00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:01,440
And I was like, yeah,
but we stopped that twenty two years

683
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:05,079
ago. That's not the plan until
the end or at the end, because

684
00:52:05,159 --> 00:52:08,840
I'm not at the end. And
I called a neurologist and was like,

685
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:15,360
can I make an appointment with you? And that song is basically calling back

686
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:21,559
to that moment when my brain was
saying, hey, listen, something's wrong,

687
00:52:21,639 --> 00:52:23,280
and I don't know how to tell
you it's wrong. Don't I don't

688
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:28,159
think you should turn back to your
coping mechanisms. But something's really wrong.

689
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,480
So let's figure this out. And
so it was the bigger voice in my

690
00:52:31,559 --> 00:52:35,480
head that was like, don't unlive
you. You've got so much to do.

691
00:52:35,599 --> 00:52:39,400
We're gonna cause the neurologist. We're
gonna work it out. Yeah,

692
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,400
what how did that turn out?
I mean, did you because you don't

693
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,519
in the song, you know,
the lyrics tell the story, but the

694
00:52:50,599 --> 00:52:55,239
story is unfinished? What is it
is unfinished? Currently? It still is?

695
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,159
In other words, so they still
don't know what's causing the seizures.

696
00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:06,920
Nope, it's not quite sure what's
causing them, but it's they're every twenty

697
00:53:07,039 --> 00:53:09,239
eight days or so, and it
lasts for like five or six or seven

698
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:14,519
days, and it has nothing to
do with any other cycles. I guess

699
00:53:14,559 --> 00:53:20,760
our brains have their own cycles of
their own and it's not impeding terribly.

700
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,920
When now that I kind of at
least have had a cat skin, I

701
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,280
know, it's not like a giant
mass like you know what I mean?

702
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:30,800
Like, yeah, yeah, the
fear worries are gone and now it's just

703
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:35,159
sort of like managing symptoms. So
it's a nuisance. But what do you

704
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,639
what do you mean though, when
you say it lasts for seven or eight

705
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,320
days, like you're having a you're
literally having a seizure for that amount of

706
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:47,559
time they last for It starts with
a deja vu, and I think I'm

707
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:51,960
having a deja vu, and then
I feel like I'm getting thrown off of

708
00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:54,519
a cliff. I have like a
roller coaster feeling in the stomach, and

709
00:53:54,639 --> 00:54:00,599
then I'm exhausted, and the rush
of it last to three seconds, sometimes

710
00:54:00,639 --> 00:54:06,320
four, and then afterwards I could
fall asleep on a wool carpet. I'm

711
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,119
so tired. Yeah, and they
last for like seven days ish bricks to

712
00:54:10,199 --> 00:54:14,320
seven days, and say start with
just one or two a day, and

713
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,440
by the middle it's like twenty a
day, and then, oh my god,

714
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:21,719
by the end it's like two a
day. Wow. Oh that's terrible.

715
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,559
That's really hard to plan shows.
So I haven't been playing any shows.

716
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:29,719
Yeah, understandable. I'm sorry you're
going through that. Is this um?

717
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,400
Have you been able to connect with
anyone else who has similar symptoms?

718
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,360
I looked around online for some stuff
and it seems like a lot of people

719
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,519
that had just sort of been chasing
their tails for a long time, several

720
00:54:43,639 --> 00:54:47,880
years. Yeah, but it seems
like it's not totally unique thing. It

721
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:52,199
seems like a song someone's written before. I just got to find the author.

722
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:58,039
Yeah yeah, wow, Well,
okay, well geez, that's I

723
00:54:58,119 --> 00:55:00,519
hope. I'm in a really good
mood. I'm like, yeah, absolutely

724
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,719
terribly disgustingly in love with somebody I've
had a crush on for a way over

725
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,440
twenty years, and he had a
crush on me, and we finally told

726
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:13,519
each other and we've just been in
bliss since like November, and love really

727
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:17,000
helps a lot of things. Well, well, congratulations. So I suppose,

728
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:22,639
whether it was intentional or not,
that that sounds like a segue into

729
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:27,440
the new single clothesline. Well,
it was inspired by our time together,

730
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,440
Okay, okay, very good,
very it was inspired by New Year's Eve.

731
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,760
Okay, okay, excellent, excellent. Yeah, we'll be will we

732
00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:39,199
be playing that in a few minutes. That song is a little more conventional,

733
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,760
but not much. It's it's still
really unique. Um. Yeah,

734
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,840
it's kind of picturing uh like a
to me, I was kind of picturing

735
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:52,960
who's that guy with the really blue
eyes that sings White Christmas? Who's that

736
00:55:53,079 --> 00:56:01,639
guy? Oh? Kind I was
kind of handling those crossby or maybe those

737
00:56:01,679 --> 00:56:07,360
commercials were all the girls dance around
with the washing machines and synchronization. Yeah,

738
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,440
yeah, that's kind of what I
what I kept seeing in my eyes

739
00:56:10,679 --> 00:56:20,079
when it was unfolding. Okay,
okay, cool. But whenever I described

740
00:56:20,119 --> 00:56:22,559
my songs to be Bobby like this
kind of a tango south of Walts that

741
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:28,159
sort of take place in like Alaska, They're like, no, I'm not

742
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,159
good at actually naming my own categories
of music. Apparently, No, I

743
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,440
understand. Well, yeah, I
just call it alternative. That's kind of

744
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,000
a catch all, you know.
But yeah, yeah, for me,

745
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,280
no, but it but it is. But but it certainly is unique.

746
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,760
By the way, Can I ask
you about your your process in terms of

747
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,480
recording. I mean, we've talked
about how you write those songs, but

748
00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:52,320
I'm really curious, you know,
especially since and I ask every musical guest

749
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:57,519
about this because partly because I'm a
recording nerd, but also I'm just curious

750
00:56:57,519 --> 00:57:00,599
because there's so many different ways to
approach it, and it sounds like,

751
00:57:00,599 --> 00:57:05,840
do you do everything yourself. Yeah, yeah, you're going to be really

752
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,760
bored when you hear what my setup
is. Oh yeah, all things like

753
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:14,960
three hundred dollars. But uh,
okay, so you do all So you

754
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,840
play everything yourself obviously, and all
the vocals are you? Do you ever?

755
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,800
Do you ever collaborate with anyone?
Or is it always? Is it

756
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,159
always just you on this truck?
I have a lot. I really enjoyed

757
00:57:25,239 --> 00:57:30,280
my time in Boston working with a
non conducted chamber orchestra that was wonderful,

758
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:37,119
like players go, but with writers, I don't really. I guess I

759
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:42,920
just know exactly what I want so
clearly that I don't know what anyone else

760
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,920
would be able to do right necessarily
as far as writing goes. But but

761
00:57:46,079 --> 00:57:52,920
I like, um bouncing. I
have in my life bounce ideas and told

762
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:53,719
people what I was up to,
and they're like, hey, if you

763
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:59,199
thought about maybe repeating that beginning thing? I wanted to hear that more like

764
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:04,039
that more of a predict action opinion. And from my friends who are photographers,

765
00:58:04,199 --> 00:58:07,480
they don't even do music. Yeah, so um, but yeah,

766
00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:13,079
like I'm if it's something you know, because songs are sort of like people

767
00:58:13,159 --> 00:58:15,360
and they can wear lots of different
outfits. There's a country version of every

768
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:20,039
song I've ever written. There's a
rap version of every song I've ever written.

769
00:58:20,239 --> 00:58:22,880
You know, it's they don't care
what outfit they wear. The seed

770
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:28,519
of the idea cannot be destroyed,
but simply by what sonics it's wearing.

771
00:58:29,679 --> 00:58:32,239
I like that. I like that. So you so so you do everything

772
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,719
yourself. You do all the mixing
and even the mastering too, right,

773
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,960
You said you master everything yourself,
and that's that's fantastic. Yeah. I

774
00:58:40,119 --> 00:58:43,679
kind of do it as I go. I'm sort of like a clean up

775
00:58:43,719 --> 00:58:45,599
the pants as I cook kind of
person when it comes to recording. Yeah

776
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:51,480
anything, Does anything ever come out
differently than you would initially imagined it,

777
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,239
like by the time you get to
the end of the oh really? Yeah?

778
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:59,639
Literally almost always, And sometimes it's
like necessity of finishing quickly. And

779
00:58:59,719 --> 00:59:02,320
then also sometimes it's because I've just
been tweaking on a sound for so long

780
00:59:02,599 --> 00:59:07,599
and I basically forgot the real sound
I was trying to create in my head

781
00:59:07,599 --> 00:59:10,360
because I do a lot since you
know. Yeah, yeah, well you

782
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,400
can get your fatigue too, you
know, you listen to something so much

783
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,039
and after a while. It's like
you can't even necessarily hear all of the

784
00:59:17,519 --> 00:59:22,039
frequencies that are present because you've been
you've been listening to it so much.

785
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:27,559
Absolutely, I'm a very quiet listener, like very quiet listener. A lot

786
00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:31,320
of the songs I try to make
them for headphone people like, because I

787
00:59:31,639 --> 00:59:37,960
try to make lots and lots of
tiny sounds that you would really only notice

788
00:59:37,079 --> 00:59:40,159
subtly in the left or the right
ear every now and then. I really

789
00:59:40,199 --> 00:59:45,000
like playing with that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, cool, cool,

790
00:59:45,239 --> 00:59:47,440
Well, Holly, we won't we
won't keep you too long. I'm

791
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:52,880
anxious to share the new single with
everybody. But it's so funny. I

792
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,639
had to find a tower just call
you guys today because I was in the

793
00:59:54,719 --> 01:00:00,840
middle of the woods getting rusty pieces
of metal so like covers the sides of

794
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:05,320
my house with and how it was
just like my alarm went out to call

795
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,280
you guys, and I was like, I'm going to find a tower.

796
01:00:08,239 --> 01:00:13,360
Oh, that might explain the difficulty
staying connected earlier. Okay, that makes

797
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,239
sense now, absolutely that's what happened. Well, by the way, so

798
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,679
you said, so you're building a
house, like are you? You said

799
01:00:21,159 --> 01:00:25,599
you said you were finding materials for
So you're literally building the house. Yeah,

800
01:00:25,639 --> 01:00:30,280
I'm building a very small mobile studio
that I'm going to live in and

801
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,880
record out of and just like hopefully
spend the rest of my life just happily

802
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,119
surrounded by keepers and frogs in the
middle of the woods making music forever.

803
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:44,119
Very cool. I mean I'm not
personally, I'm not. I'm probably one

804
01:00:44,159 --> 01:00:46,920
of the least outdoorsy people you'll ever
meet. So the woods thing I'm not

805
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,960
wild about. But the studio thing
sounds great. That sounds like a wonderful

806
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,880
existence. Actually, so I didn't
happily take the take off my neck,

807
01:00:55,039 --> 01:00:59,039
so we're oh see that? Oh
my god, for real? Because that's

808
01:00:59,079 --> 01:01:05,760
the thing that scares me the most
is ticks. Uh three fears actually ticks,

809
01:01:06,719 --> 01:01:08,960
the possibility of being eaten by a
wild animal like a bear or a

810
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:14,519
mountain lion or something, and of
course the blair Witch. That probably scares

811
01:01:14,559 --> 01:01:16,840
me the most of the three,
because I don't even I plan to do

812
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,199
that when I find when I find
my spot, I'm actually gonna make lots

813
01:01:21,199 --> 01:01:23,719
of little blair Witch dolls to scare
away the flatlander. Yeah. See that's

814
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:30,199
probably that will probably work. It
would certainly frighten me. But well,

815
01:01:30,239 --> 01:01:35,440
Holly, uh, where where should
people go online to keep up with everything

816
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,480
that you're doing? Uh, we
want to make sure people know where to

817
01:01:37,559 --> 01:01:40,840
find new music, as you you
know, because every month you're releasing something

818
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:45,119
new, so we want to make
sure listeners know where to go. Yeah.

819
01:01:45,199 --> 01:01:47,880
All my songs are always free,
UM, donation whatever, um.

820
01:01:49,079 --> 01:01:53,679
And my name is this Holly Brewer
and my website is Holly Brewer dot org.

821
01:01:54,719 --> 01:01:58,239
Very good, very good. Well
Holly, we'll let you go and

822
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,880
then I'm going to go right to
a plane the new single clothesline. But

823
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:06,280
thank you very thank you for finding
a tower and thank you for joining us

824
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,400
today. Always, always, absolutely
anytime. I love the music. It's

825
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,559
it's very cool. It's very different, which is what makes it so cool.

826
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:19,159
And uh, oh thanks, thank
you, We appreciate you. All

827
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:22,559
right, Holly, have a have
a great day. You two have so

828
01:02:22,679 --> 01:02:24,679
much fun. All right, but
bye bye, all right, very nice.

829
01:02:24,719 --> 01:02:27,880
That was our friend, Holly Brewer. And by the way, Brewer,

830
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,920
because you'll see Brewer spelled different ways. She spells it b R e

831
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:36,559
W e R, so if you're
looking for her online, that is how

832
01:02:36,679 --> 01:02:39,639
she spells Brewer b R E W
E R, which I think is probably

833
01:02:39,719 --> 01:02:45,639
the more common spelling anyway, But
we're gonna play that here it is.

834
01:02:45,719 --> 01:02:49,239
This is the brand new single from
Holly Brewer. And and then we'll be

835
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,599
back with the balance of our show. But check this out. This is

seven, twenty twenty three, and

876
01:08:42,039 --> 01:08:46,039
apparently it is National Running Day,
where you're supposed to go out and run.

877
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:53,600
Please do not do that because North
America is under a I think most

878
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:58,039
of the continent, thanks, Canada
is no. It's uh, you know,

879
01:08:58,159 --> 01:09:00,840
we don't want to blame well,
there is that South Park thing,

880
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,680
blame Canada. I wish i'd thought
of that before the show. I could

881
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:09,239
have played that today, Blame Canada
from South Park because of the wildfires that

882
01:09:09,359 --> 01:09:14,960
are causing everyone to be uh poisoned. But so it's National Running Day,

883
01:09:15,199 --> 01:09:17,640
but do not go running. Yeah, I mean, you know, unless

884
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,800
you have a treadmill inside where it's
safe, don't go outside if you can

885
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:26,199
help it. I mean, I'll
have to go outside when I leave here

886
01:09:26,199 --> 01:09:29,640
today to go home, but try
not to go outside. Wear a face

887
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,319
mask. It's it's again. It's
it's like the inverse of COVID. You

888
01:09:31,359 --> 01:09:35,079
wear a face mask outside in this
case. But yeah, be careful,

889
01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:40,239
especially if you're asthmatic or you have
any any other sort of breathing issue.

890
01:09:41,159 --> 01:09:45,600
You can actually go online and see
where it's the worst. Jenny was showing

891
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,399
me earlier where you can actually you
can go online and see, you know,

892
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,479
like there's a red zone, there's
a purple zone. You know.

893
01:09:51,039 --> 01:09:55,399
But New York City apparently is having
a terrible time with this. They are

894
01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:00,399
very very much well. Actually I
was talking about it earlier in the show,

895
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,840
in the first hour, I was
saying, how today New York City

896
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:11,000
was designated, you know, for
the moment obviously it changes the most.

897
01:10:11,279 --> 01:10:15,920
What was it the most, Well, what's the term they use the air

898
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,000
well, the air quality is the
worst in the world right now, There's

899
01:10:18,039 --> 01:10:23,439
some other term they use, but
usually it's uh. I think it's Delhi,

900
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,359
India is where the air quality is
the worst, or a city in

901
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:29,319
China. You know, they have
a lot of problem. They wear masks

902
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:34,520
very often outside in these places because
the air is so bad. But today

903
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:39,520
it's been New York City as the
dubious distinction of being the worst air quality

904
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:44,840
because downwind from where the wildfires apparently
are the most intense, and it's drifting

905
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,640
into New York, New York State
and into New York City. So um.

906
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:53,119
And I was saying earlier too in
the show, there was a moment

907
01:10:53,159 --> 01:10:56,000
today I was outside actually thought I
could kind of kind of taste it a

908
01:10:56,039 --> 01:10:59,760
little bit nasty, nasty nasty.
So hopefully it clears up soon, but

909
01:11:00,159 --> 01:11:02,239
I think we might have another day
of this. I don't know anyway,

910
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:06,119
But on that happy note, I
just want everybody. I'm just reminding people,

911
01:11:06,159 --> 01:11:10,159
please be safe. If you didn't
know this was going on, but

912
01:11:10,279 --> 01:11:12,960
you just wondered why the air seemed
a little different today, that's why.

913
01:11:13,119 --> 01:11:16,439
So take care of yourselves. And
if you have any kind of illness that

914
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:24,279
might be further triggered or exacerbated by
the air pollution, please be smart.

915
01:11:25,399 --> 01:11:30,359
Don't breathe anything in that you don't
have to. And I learned today too,

916
01:11:30,399 --> 01:11:33,079
Apparently it's it's more dangerous than people
realize because it's not just a matter

917
01:11:33,159 --> 01:11:38,079
of you know, if you get
something in your lungs that might cause you

918
01:11:38,159 --> 01:11:42,119
to have some difficulty breathing, but
if it gets into your blood stream,

919
01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:45,279
which can happen, then it can
really have some severe health effects. Last

920
01:11:45,359 --> 01:11:47,760
I knew, and I haven't looked
since I've been on the air today,

921
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:54,000
but last I knew in New York
City they were not yet not yet reporting

922
01:11:54,119 --> 01:12:00,920
any kind of an uptick in visits
to the emergency room over this, which

923
01:12:00,039 --> 01:12:03,159
is good, but that may have
changed in the time that I've been on

924
01:12:03,239 --> 01:12:05,880
the air. I don't know.
But so far, as far as I

925
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,800
know, so far, so good. In New York. Hopefully people are

926
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,520
being smart and again wearing face masks. God knows, in New York they're

927
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,079
used to wearing face masks because you
know, early in the pandemic, New

928
01:12:16,199 --> 01:12:20,279
York was one of the hardest hit
places as as one would expect in the

929
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:28,159
United States. But but no uptick
in emergency room visits is good. Let's

930
01:12:28,199 --> 01:12:34,319
hope that holds and that people are
able to remain remains safe. In fact,

931
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:38,399
on that subject, we might look
at something here that might be helpful.

932
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:42,159
But let me give the Oh and
by the way, Charles, if

933
01:12:42,159 --> 01:12:45,039
you're still listening, our friend Charles
Richardson, feel free to call back.

934
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:48,560
Charles. Charles gave us a call
earlier, but unfortunately it was as we

935
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,079
were waiting for Holly Brewer to call, so we didn't really have time to

936
01:12:51,159 --> 01:12:54,560
talk. So he said he'd call
back another time. But Charles, if

937
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,199
you're listening, you know the phone
line is open or for any of you

938
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:01,199
six three two five six seven is
studio line six ZO three at two five

939
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,760
six z seven. You can also
text me at six one seven nine one

940
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:10,079
seven four four seven six. I'm
on social media at Matt Connerton. You

941
01:13:10,159 --> 01:13:13,000
can email me Matt at Matt Connerton
dot com, and of course you can

942
01:13:13,079 --> 01:13:15,199
interact on no Pine in the Facebook
live chat. But the best thing to

943
01:13:15,279 --> 01:13:18,399
do so that we can here and
enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us

944
01:13:18,399 --> 01:13:23,039
a call at six zo three two
five six seven six zo three two five

945
01:13:23,239 --> 01:13:28,439
six seven and um. By the
way, speaking of the phone, when

946
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:30,720
Dave Ridley called yesterday, that's probably
why he was having so much trouble.

947
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:35,479
I was speculating that it might be
allergies, perhaps a giant puff of pollen

948
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:40,560
had flown into his face, but
maybe it was just the poor air quality.

949
01:13:41,399 --> 01:13:44,720
But this is just quickly and then
well we'll get to what I had

950
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,039
talked about earlier. But this is
from the Hill dot com. Which mask

951
01:13:47,359 --> 01:13:54,039
is best for wildfire smoke? It
says here, and the Hill drew this

952
01:13:54,199 --> 01:13:59,479
from k DVR in California initially,
but with smoke from over four hundred Canadian

953
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:03,479
wild fire drifting south and blanketing much
of the United States. Americans are looking

954
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:09,079
for ways to cope with a haze
of very unhealthy air. Anthony Gerber said

955
01:14:09,119 --> 01:14:14,239
the people most at risk in smoky
conditions are those with lung disease, older

956
01:14:14,359 --> 01:14:17,359
people, and the very young.
He said if those people have symptoms outside,

957
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,960
they may benefit from wearing a well
fitted mask, but keep in mind

958
01:14:21,119 --> 01:14:26,880
surgical and cloth masks do not help
in these conditions. Gerber said, quote

959
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,880
really and ninety five's are the only
masks which are really proven to be effective

960
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:36,199
Unquote, and ninety five masks filter
particles as small as point three micrometers,

961
01:14:36,279 --> 01:14:42,399
a fraction of the width of a
human hair. According to the California Department

962
01:14:42,399 --> 01:14:46,000
of Public Health, still masks are
not an ideal solution for wildfire smoke.

963
01:14:46,359 --> 01:14:54,000
San Francisco health officials previously told SF
Gate that sealed buildings with filtered HVAC systems

964
01:14:54,119 --> 01:14:58,960
are preferable to mask use. In
other words, try to stay inside.

965
01:15:01,079 --> 01:15:05,239
David Hill, a pulmonologist in Waterbury, Connecticut, told the AP quote,

966
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:10,520
if you have filters on your home
HVAC system, you should make sure they're

967
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:15,479
up to date and high quality.
Unquote. Air quality alerts often caution sensitive

968
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,720
groups to stay indoors. That is
a big category that includes children whose lungs

969
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:25,079
are still developing, older adults,
and people with lung diseases such as asthma

970
01:15:25,279 --> 01:15:30,520
like yours truly, and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease. Gerber, a pulmonologist at

971
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:34,960
National Jewish Health, said filters can
help with smoke, but not all are

972
01:15:35,039 --> 01:15:40,439
effective. Quote. Most folks will
put put them in their bedroom. But

973
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:45,800
again, it has to be an
HPA filter. I don't know what that

974
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:49,439
stands for, and it has to
be matched to the size of the space

975
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:54,920
who are filtering. Unquote. Even
though smoke seems familiar, it is actually

976
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:58,560
a complex mixture of shapes from round
corkscrew. Okay, I don't want to

977
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,199
get into the weeds, articles getting
into the weeds too far into the weeds.

978
01:16:01,399 --> 01:16:03,479
I don't go into the weeds.
I don't even go into the woods,

979
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:08,319
as we discussed earlier. But there
you go. So anyway, the

980
01:16:08,359 --> 01:16:14,159
point being, everyone please just try
to be safe. I've been unfortunately for

981
01:16:14,279 --> 01:16:15,239
me, I haven't you know,
I have asthma, but I haven't had

982
01:16:15,239 --> 01:16:18,800
to use my rescue in hailer or
anything. So I seem to be okay,

983
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,640
but you know, south of us
in Massachusetts actually have it worse than

984
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:29,720
we do here with the smog does
make for some beautiful sunsets and sunrises,

985
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,760
it's the only good thing about it. But all that smoke being put into

986
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:36,680
the atmosphere. Let's see, we'll
say hello to everybody in the or some

987
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,880
new folks. We won't say hello
to everybody that we already said hello too,

988
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,159
but we'll say hello to some of
the new people who have entered the

989
01:16:43,239 --> 01:16:45,479
chat room. My dad is in
the chat Hello, Sir Martin, is

990
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:51,039
there, Oh, Melanie said,
you know, I was talking to our

991
01:16:51,079 --> 01:16:54,640
friend Holly Brewer about why I don't
go into the woods. I said,

992
01:16:54,680 --> 01:17:00,479
the three things I fear in the
woods deer ticks, being consumed by mountain

993
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:05,079
lion or a bear, and of
course the blair witch. And Melanie said,

994
01:17:05,159 --> 01:17:11,000
not poisonous plants hiding among the flowers. I will be adding that to

995
01:17:11,119 --> 01:17:14,640
the list, Melanie, I now
have four things in the woods that I

996
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:20,239
fear. Yes, so I don't
go into the I'm like the least outdoorsy

997
01:17:20,319 --> 01:17:24,239
person you'll ever meet. This is
true, by the way. I never

998
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:29,560
in my life people are surprised when
I say this, but this is God's

999
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,960
truth. I've never in my life
gone camping. By the way, you

1000
01:17:33,039 --> 01:17:38,319
know something I never in my life
will do go camping. I don't.

1001
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,880
I mean, that's the idea of
it just freaks me out. Well,

1002
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:45,119
You're actually gonna sleep out there in
the woods. That's crazy. All the

1003
01:17:45,199 --> 01:17:46,520
things I fear could get me if
I were going to do that. I

1004
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:54,039
could be eaten by a mountain lion, while being while having deer ticks attaching

1005
01:17:54,079 --> 01:17:58,600
themselves to me, and then also
being attacked by the Blair Witch after I've

1006
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:03,560
accidentally been exposed to a poisonous flower. There's so much that can go wrong.

1007
01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:11,359
Isaac Banks is asking who is the
singer? I just heard her voice.

1008
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:15,159
That was Holly Brewer and we just
did the world radio premiere for a

1009
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:24,800
brand new single, Clothesline. Here
on the program Let's see, Isaac Banks

1010
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,680
says, because I referred to COVID
because we were talking about face masks,

1011
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,319
not because of COVID, but because
of the smog. Isaac Banks said something

1012
01:18:32,359 --> 01:18:36,199
about I hope they find a cure
for COVID. Yeah, he said,

1013
01:18:36,279 --> 01:18:40,600
I hope this COVID shall be over
until there's a cure. No, I

1014
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:43,600
think we're stuck with that for the
rest of our lives, unfortunately. I

1015
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:45,279
mean, at least, you know, we have it to a point though,

1016
01:18:45,279 --> 01:18:46,680
where you know, we have the
therapeutics and everything, so if you

1017
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,439
do get COVID, it can be
managed and really no one should be dying

1018
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:56,920
from it at this point, So
so that's good. Scott Robinson joins us

1019
01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,840
in the Facebook live chat and says
Matt there's nothing like camping in the woods

1020
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:05,119
with a pineapple pizza listening to some
smooth jazz. Well, I like the

1021
01:19:05,199 --> 01:19:10,159
smooth jazz, as you know,
but the pineapple pizza that is unacceptable.

1022
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,840
And in fact, if that is
true, is that something people actually do,

1023
01:19:14,319 --> 01:19:16,439
They go camping and they eat pineapple
pizza. Well, we're putting that.

1024
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:20,800
That's number five on the list of
things I fear pineapple on pizza.

1025
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,960
You gotta understand something. I don't
just not like it. I don't just

1026
01:19:25,119 --> 01:19:28,359
not approve of it. I don't
just think it's disgusting. I actually fear

1027
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:33,680
it. If somebody like shoves a
piece of pineapple pizza in my face,

1028
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:38,600
I'll be I'll be traumatized for the
rest of my life. And I'm definitely

1029
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:45,199
afraid of that. It's like a
phobia. Isaac Bank says, I understand

1030
01:19:45,239 --> 01:19:48,920
hashtag Matt and my friend Jeff Pugary
likes jazz. I really don't like jazz.

1031
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,359
I'm sort of kidding, I don't. I don't really like smooth jazz.

1032
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,159
Uh six o three two five six
seven is a studio line six three

1033
01:19:57,199 --> 01:20:03,319
two five six seven before. Probably
won't get through the whole thing actually that

1034
01:20:03,359 --> 01:20:05,479
I wanted to do, But we'll
see what we can do, all right.

1035
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:10,760
So we have today Mike Pence.
You might have heard of him.

1036
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,880
He used to be a vice president, you know, yes, former vice

1037
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:19,960
President of the United States, serving
in the administration of Donald John Trump,

1038
01:20:20,039 --> 01:20:25,199
the forty fifth president of the United
States. Pence made his announcement today in

1039
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,680
Iowa, the great state of Iowa. Pence, you know, also a

1040
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:34,119
Midwesterner himself, from the great state
of Indiana. I do not do a

1041
01:20:34,199 --> 01:20:38,680
Mike Pence impression. And if you
are a longtime listener of the show,

1042
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,920
you're probably relieved, because I'm terrible
at impressions. To begin with. I

1043
01:20:42,039 --> 01:20:45,439
spent a significant portion of time in
the Midwest growing up, and yet I

1044
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:50,319
still cannot mimic that accent. So
if at any time I'm repeating something that

1045
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:55,439
Mike Pence has said, please just
radio as theater of the mind. I

1046
01:20:55,520 --> 01:21:00,600
will ask you to pretend that I'm
saying it with a Midwest Stern accent,

1047
01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,760
even though I am unable to do
so. You got to meet me halfway

1048
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:09,600
on that. But so Mike Pence
made his announcement. Now, as I

1049
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:15,520
said earlier, I want to I
want to actually listen to and analyze part

1050
01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:17,119
of this because it was more interesting
than I thought it was going to be.

1051
01:21:17,399 --> 01:21:20,560
Eventually the first part. Again,
if you think of it like a

1052
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:25,560
play, political speeches are structured the
same way You've got a first act,

1053
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,319
a second act, and a third
act. The first act of the play,

1054
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,560
or the political speech in this case
that Mike Pence gave announcing his candidacy

1055
01:21:33,039 --> 01:21:36,640
very boring, very dull. We're
not going to listen to that. I

1056
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:39,720
would not do that to you.
I will not torture you with that.

1057
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:43,399
In fact, I do believe that
it would be considered a violation of the

1058
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:46,960
Geneva Convention. It sounded like it
could have been written by an AI program.

1059
01:21:47,079 --> 01:21:51,479
Again, no offense to our friends
in Greensborough. But it was very

1060
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:58,119
predictable, and that's that's fine,
That's what I expected. The second act

1061
01:21:58,239 --> 01:22:01,000
was a little bit of a surprise. Here's what I was expecting. What

1062
01:22:01,159 --> 01:22:05,800
I was expecting was Mike Pence,
who, by the way, understand when

1063
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:10,520
I tell you what I'm expecting,
you have to remember I'm operating under the

1064
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:15,680
assumption that Mike Pence is operating under
the assumption that he is absolutely he has

1065
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:21,000
no chance of being the nominee.
Now, there are, as we often

1066
01:22:21,039 --> 01:22:26,239
discussed on the show, there are
other reasons for running for president other than

1067
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:30,640
actually trying to become president. Very
common reason is trying to become vice president.

1068
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,439
You want to be one of the
last people standing and hopefully whoever does

1069
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:39,800
when the nomination picks you. Obviously, that's not the case in Mike Pence's

1070
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:44,600
case. He's already been Trump's vice
president and he knows he will not be

1071
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,680
picked again for a couple different reasons, So we can put that aside.

1072
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:54,880
Another reason is to sell books.
Mike Pence has a book. A lot

1073
01:22:54,920 --> 01:23:00,279
of people there candidacies are really just
glorified book tours. Um it helps,

1074
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,359
right, but it's a it's a
book. Tour where you get donors to

1075
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:09,840
pay for it. Sometimes it's literally
a book tour for example. I'll often

1076
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:14,359
use a site as a as an
example of that. When Nude king Ridge

1077
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:19,239
ran for president in uh in twenty
twelve, Romney was ultimately the nominee for

1078
01:23:19,239 --> 01:23:25,119
the Republicans, but when was running
his campaign stops literally were book signings.

1079
01:23:25,319 --> 01:23:27,960
He and his wife, Callista,
they write a lot of books, they

1080
01:23:28,039 --> 01:23:31,600
make documentaries. They would their events
would be at bookstores and they would do

1081
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,680
the sign the books and sign the
DVDs, and you know, and I

1082
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,319
don't I don't knock the hustle.
That's fine, you know, but that's

1083
01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:42,920
anyway. That's another reason to do
it, or to raise your speaking fees.

1084
01:23:43,159 --> 01:23:46,880
You know, people like Mike Pence
make money giving speeches. Organizations come

1085
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,479
and pay you to speak. You
know, it looks great on your resume

1086
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:55,840
to say you're a former presidential candidate. Another reason is you're trying to build

1087
01:23:56,000 --> 01:24:00,840
relationships for your eventual run for say, maybe Mike is going to run for

1088
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:04,199
senator in the future, so he
knows he's not going to be the nominee,

1089
01:24:04,279 --> 01:24:09,439
and he knows that Iowa will probably
be it for him. When the

1090
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,119
Iowa caucus happens and Mike Pence comes
in at one percent of the vote,

1091
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:17,079
he probably won't even bother to come
to New Hampshire. Usually what happens is

1092
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:23,960
Iowa is the first first contest,
and a whole bunch of people drop out.

1093
01:24:24,079 --> 01:24:27,520
After Iowa, a whole bunch of
people who barely make it even one

1094
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,279
percent. If they're lucky, they
drop out. Some of them hang on

1095
01:24:30,359 --> 01:24:34,239
a little longer, they go from
Iowa to New Hampshire, and then if

1096
01:24:34,279 --> 01:24:39,520
they do horribly in New Hampshire,
then then they drop out, and then

1097
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,159
you have South Carolina. By the
way, I understand the calendar is being

1098
01:24:43,319 --> 01:24:46,479
you know, maneuvered a bit,
but because of Biden. But you get

1099
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:50,319
my point. So he knows,
he knows he's going to be out,

1100
01:24:50,359 --> 01:24:56,199
probably after Iowa. So I don't
know what his motivation is. Maybe it's

1101
01:24:56,199 --> 01:24:58,560
none of those things. Maybe he
just thinks it'll be fun to run for

1102
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:00,159
president. Maybe it's on his bucket
list. I don't know. But he

1103
01:25:00,239 --> 01:25:04,319
knows he's not going to be the
nominee. He knows that. Unless he's

1104
01:25:04,359 --> 01:25:11,079
just insane and he has some sort
of terrible delusion, and you know,

1105
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:15,079
maybe something's wrong with his brain.
But no, I'm sure he really he's

1106
01:25:15,279 --> 01:25:16,479
you know, and he's a smart
guy. I'm sure he realizes he's not

1107
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:19,880
going to be president. Now Here's
what I was expecting from his speech,

1108
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:26,920
though, well, Act one was
what I expected Act to, not really

1109
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,840
what I thought it was going to
be. Was he would talk a lot

1110
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:35,119
about Biden and the Democrats and and
kind of give a little bit of a

1111
01:25:35,159 --> 01:25:41,640
general election speech, right and uh, not really focused much on his opponents.

1112
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:48,239
And I thought he might be sort
of lightly gently critical of Trump regarding

1113
01:25:48,359 --> 01:25:51,960
January sixth, because that's the elephant
in the room in this case, literally,

1114
01:25:53,039 --> 01:25:56,800
because elephant is the animal of the
Republicans. Of course they're they're my

1115
01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:00,399
mascot, so no way to avoid
that. So I thought he'd treat that

1116
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:04,239
the same way he often does in
interviews and interactions with the media, you

1117
01:26:04,319 --> 01:26:09,520
know, just say something like,
well, you know, the former president

1118
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:14,600
and I will never agree, will
never fully agree on the events of January

1119
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:18,560
six or the election that the dah. But then, of course, because

1120
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:24,039
none of the candidates so far except
for Chris Christie really and to a slight

1121
01:26:24,159 --> 01:26:28,600
degree, Asa Hutchinson, he's running
too if you forgot former governor of Arkansas.

1122
01:26:29,359 --> 01:26:31,520
None of these candidates want to go
directly at Trump because if you anger

1123
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,159
the MAGA people, then you've got
even less of a chance. Right,

1124
01:26:34,560 --> 01:26:40,479
So I thought he'd do something maybe
lightly gently, mildly critical of Trump,

1125
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:47,000
but then to balance it out also
gush with effusive praise about how he's just

1126
01:26:47,199 --> 01:26:50,279
so proud, because this is what
he does in interviews, talk about how

1127
01:26:50,319 --> 01:26:54,960
he's so proud to have been a
part of the Trump administration. And you

1128
01:26:55,079 --> 01:26:58,319
know, I mean, because that's
the play that he runs. You know,

1129
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:00,560
he usually what he'll do is there
was that CNN town hall. I

1130
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,720
guess he's got another one coming up. But the one before he announces candidacy

1131
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:06,560
that he did where what did he
say? He blamed it all on the

1132
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:10,800
lawyers. He said, well,
you know, I think the former president

1133
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,119
he I think he got some bad
advice. It's not his fault. He

1134
01:27:14,159 --> 01:27:16,039
got some bad advice from lawyers.
You know, Oh, they just blame

1135
01:27:16,039 --> 01:27:23,039
the lawyers. Okay, Now that's
what I expected. I expected it would

1136
01:27:23,079 --> 01:27:29,800
be a speech heavy on policy,
heavy on his own backstory, very just

1137
01:27:30,159 --> 01:27:32,720
light criticism of Trump, because you
know, there's no way to avoid it,

1138
01:27:33,159 --> 01:27:38,520
but also some gushing praise of Trump
too, but then kind of saying

1139
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:42,520
something about time for a new generation
of leadership, because you also have to

1140
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,359
slip in something about well, you
know, so instead of just voting for

1141
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:51,199
Trump again, vote for me.
You know, he's seventy six or seventy

1142
01:27:51,239 --> 01:27:55,800
seven whatever, I'm only sixty four. I think today is also Mike Pence's

1143
01:27:55,840 --> 01:28:00,920
birthday. I think he turned sixty
four today. It's a song about that,

1144
01:28:00,079 --> 01:28:03,600
isn't it? Like? Is it? Will you vote for me for

1145
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:09,880
the presidency? Went I'm sixty four? Something like that. Anyway, with

1146
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:15,239
apologies to the Beatles, probably could
never apologize enough for what I just did.

1147
01:28:15,319 --> 01:28:17,399
That was pretty bad. I'm sorry. A little spontaneous song pariody.

1148
01:28:17,399 --> 01:28:19,520
I haven't done one in a while. I read how bad I am at

1149
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:26,239
them. So anyway, we didn't
get what I was expecting. He went

1150
01:28:26,319 --> 01:28:30,359
out Trump a lot harder than I
thought. Now he goes at him,

1151
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,800
he still gives him an out,
though he still slips in the thing about

1152
01:28:35,399 --> 01:28:40,079
he was misled. He does say
that, so he still gives Trump the

1153
01:28:40,199 --> 01:28:45,880
out he was misled, So it's
not really his fault necessarily, But but

1154
01:28:45,199 --> 01:28:48,840
he's still he goes at him quite
a bit harder than I was expecting.

1155
01:28:51,399 --> 01:28:55,239
I don't know what happened. I
don't know if he finally found his uh

1156
01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:01,000
well, I don't want to put
it that way, he finally found the

1157
01:29:01,079 --> 01:29:06,239
courage to say. I mean,
you know, he'll never He'll never have

1158
01:29:06,359 --> 01:29:09,119
it in him, you know.
I mean, let's be honest, he

1159
01:29:09,239 --> 01:29:12,960
is somewhat of a empty husk of
a human being. He'll he'll never have

1160
01:29:13,039 --> 01:29:17,439
it in express actual anger at Trump
for you know, almost getting him and

1161
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:20,680
his family killed on January sixth.
He'll never actually be mad about it.

1162
01:29:21,399 --> 01:29:27,680
But at least he seems in the
speech that he gave today somewhat bothered by

1163
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,039
it, you know, instead of
the attitude that he's taken in the past,

1164
01:29:30,159 --> 01:29:33,399
where it's just been like, well, you know, what happened January

1165
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:36,640
sixth was terrible. But oh I
shucks, I can't be mad at that

1166
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:40,479
guy. I just love him so
much. That's kind of been the vibe

1167
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:45,800
in the past. Oh, my
dad in the chat room says him at

1168
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,199
Good Show, I just want to
see if this works, if this is

1169
01:29:48,239 --> 01:29:53,199
a different format. Now, yeah, yeah, it's working. Dad's tried

1170
01:29:53,279 --> 01:29:57,319
to communicate in the chat room before
and it's come out, come out wrong.

1171
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,199
Oh, he says, I saw
where Charles Richardson is bringing back his

1172
01:30:00,319 --> 01:30:04,720
show. I say congratulations to him. Mike Pence is not very substantial.

1173
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,319
I get it. I didn't know
Charles was bringing back his show. Well,

1174
01:30:08,359 --> 01:30:11,479
congratulations to Charles. Maybe that's why
he was calling to announce it on

1175
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:14,760
the show. All right, well
before we run out of time, so

1176
01:30:14,760 --> 01:30:15,720
we're only gonna get to a little
bit of this. But here I'm gonna

1177
01:30:15,720 --> 01:30:17,640
play. I'm gonna play a little
bit of this now again. This is

1178
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:23,199
from the second act in Mike Pence's
speech today, and we'll talk about what

1179
01:30:23,319 --> 01:30:28,640
surprised me. I'm given our record, it might be fair to ask,

1180
01:30:30,079 --> 01:30:35,600
why am challenging my former running mate. Let me say from my heart.

1181
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:40,760
By the way, at this point
I was watching this live. At this

1182
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:44,560
point I expected when he goes let
me say from the heart, I expected

1183
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,000
him to say something like, you
know, I take no joy in challenging

1184
01:30:47,079 --> 01:30:51,720
him because I just love him so
much. And he appeared too. You

1185
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:55,520
know. I was not the first
one to make this observation, but very

1186
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:58,760
often during the Trump presidency, you
would see Trump on stage, speaking in

1187
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,199
front of a podium, giving some
sort of a speech, and you would

1188
01:31:00,239 --> 01:31:05,840
see Pence off to the side,
gazing, gazing upon Trump in a very

1189
01:31:06,279 --> 01:31:11,399
a very similar way to the way
Nancy Reagan used to gaze upon Ronald Reagan

1190
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,520
when he was giving a speech,
with just that sort of that sense of

1191
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:18,159
awe and wonder that that expression,
that facial expression. And I thought we

1192
01:31:18,239 --> 01:31:20,159
were going to get something like,
let me just say from the heart,

1193
01:31:20,199 --> 01:31:25,840
I do so love President Trump.
I just I just have reasons why I

1194
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,319
have to. But that's not exactly
what we got, Okay, So he

1195
01:31:28,399 --> 01:31:31,439
surprised me. Here here's here's what
he said. It begins with a promise

1196
01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:39,000
that I made to the American people
into Almighty God, and it ends with

1197
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:47,399
different visions for the future of our
nation and our party. January sixth was

1198
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:51,640
a tragic day in the life of
our nation. But thanks to the courage

1199
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:58,239
of law enforcement, the violence was
quelled. By the way I like that

1200
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:00,479
that he did, that that he
said, thanks to the courage of law

1201
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:06,279
enforcement. Because there are a lot
of people, a lot of people who

1202
01:32:06,399 --> 01:32:11,079
go around they talk about how they
you know, they'll say things like back

1203
01:32:11,159 --> 01:32:14,239
the blue you gotta support the police. You gotta support law enforcement. But

1204
01:32:14,359 --> 01:32:18,079
then you mentioned the Capitol Police,
and their attitude changes quite a bit,

1205
01:32:18,199 --> 01:32:23,319
doesn't it interesting? So I'm glad
he said that. I'm glad he gave

1206
01:32:23,399 --> 01:32:27,600
credit to law enforcement because there are
some people who just when it comes to

1207
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:30,600
the Capitol Police, they're like,
oh, yeah, those guys. Then

1208
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:32,039
we all know why. I'm glad
he did that. Good for him,

1209
01:32:32,279 --> 01:32:38,159
because I know who you won't here
doing that. But we'll continue, and

1210
01:32:38,279 --> 01:32:44,079
we reconvene to the Congress the very
same day to complete the work of the

1211
01:32:44,119 --> 01:32:49,359
American people under the Constitution of the
United States. As I've said many times,

1212
01:32:50,920 --> 01:32:58,720
on that faithful day, President Trump's
words were reckless, endangered my family

1213
01:32:59,239 --> 01:33:05,439
and everyone at the Capital. But
the American people deserve to know that.

1214
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:13,239
On that day, President Trump also
demanded that I choose between him and the

1215
01:33:13,359 --> 01:33:20,439
Constitution. Now voters will be faced
with the same choice. I chose the

1216
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:27,640
Constitution, and I always will.
Hey, good on him. Oh and

1217
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:31,439
there's apparently there's an ad in this
video, So while the ad plays,

1218
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:35,479
I'll talk Yeah good, I mean, hey, you know, I fully

1219
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:40,159
agree, Yes, I mean,
he was given Trump went to give his

1220
01:33:40,279 --> 01:33:43,039
big speech and said, you know, Mike Pence, I sure hope he

1221
01:33:43,119 --> 01:33:46,479
does the right thing. And then
while the capital was under attack, Trump

1222
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,199
is on Twitter calin Pence a coward, saying, um, he didn't have

1223
01:33:50,279 --> 01:33:54,039
the guts to do the right thing. But Pence did do the right thing

1224
01:33:54,199 --> 01:33:59,800
that day. And this is but
unfortunately, up to now, he hadn't

1225
01:34:00,239 --> 01:34:02,960
he'd never really said it this forcefully
because he's so afraid. You don't want

1226
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:06,079
to upset Daddy, don't want to
upset Trump. But now he's just saying,

1227
01:34:06,159 --> 01:34:10,079
look, he's laying it out starkly. Here it is, and he's

1228
01:34:10,239 --> 01:34:14,439
right. Good for him, wish
he had wish he could have found his

1229
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:18,720
uh, you know, his cajone
says, they say a little sooner because

1230
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:24,079
I've seen far too many examples,
as I've talked about on the show,

1231
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:27,479
where you know, he'll talk about
how his family, you know, his

1232
01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:30,640
wife and his daughters were in danger
on January sixth, and then goes on

1233
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:39,640
to completely emasculate himself by not showing
any actual emotion about it and finding every

1234
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:43,720
excuse to uh, why you know, that wasn't really Trump's fault, right,

1235
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:48,520
He's not doing that here, So
good glad he finally decided to,

1236
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,439
uh, you know, I don't
know, you know, stand up a

1237
01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:56,760
little bit for his family who were
in danger on that day. I guess

1238
01:34:56,840 --> 01:35:00,680
this is his way of doing that. He actually does seem a little bit

1239
01:35:01,039 --> 01:35:05,000
like this, some sort of passion
there. I mean, I don't know

1240
01:35:05,159 --> 01:35:10,399
if he's capable of actual human emotion
fully, he's always struck me as an

1241
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:15,319
android, probably, But you know, he's he's showing something here, and

1242
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:20,640
the look out of his face that
seems pretty mad as he's saying this.

1243
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,880
But all right, here's more.
I know we're gonna run out of time,

1244
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:31,560
but here's a little bit bit,
a little bit more. I mean,

1245
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:45,439
he's right, you know, he's
telling the truth here. Four years

1246
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:51,079
earlier, I swore an oath with
my hand on my Bible and on Ronald

1247
01:35:51,159 --> 01:35:57,279
Ragging's Bible to support and defend the
Constitution. Oh, by the way,

1248
01:35:57,359 --> 01:36:00,960
that's another thing too. He evoked
Raygan a couple of times during this speech.

1249
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:06,640
That is, you remember Ronald Reagan, right, you know, sort

1250
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:13,199
of the patron saint of modern conservatism, or at least he was until twenty

1251
01:36:13,319 --> 01:36:18,079
sixteen, when all of a sudden
everyone forgot Reagan existed really weird transition in

1252
01:36:18,159 --> 01:36:26,119
the Republican Party and very abrupt.
But Pence hasn't forgotten. And I mean,

1253
01:36:26,159 --> 01:36:30,520
I don't know how that's gonna work
for him, but but it's just

1254
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:35,880
interesting. I did notice that the
Bible says he keeps his oath even when

1255
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:43,279
it hurts, and I know something
about that. My son, the Marine,

1256
01:36:43,399 --> 01:36:47,199
once reminded me, you took the
same oath I took, Dan,

1257
01:36:49,319 --> 01:36:56,920
so I did. So let me
explain. Article two, Section one of

1258
01:36:56,960 --> 01:37:08,039
the Constitution provides that the President of
the Senate the Vice President shall the presidence

1259
01:37:08,039 --> 01:37:14,720
of the Senate in the House,
open all the certificates, and the votes

1260
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:23,920
shall be counted, no more,
no less. Despite the fact that the

1261
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:30,880
Constitution's language is clear and provides the
vice president with no authority to reject or

1262
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:36,279
return electoral votes, my former running
mate continues to insist that I had the

1263
01:37:36,399 --> 01:37:45,119
right to overturn the election. But
President Trump was wrong then and he's wrong

1264
01:37:45,239 --> 01:37:50,079
now. I will always believe,
by God's grace, I did my duty

1265
01:37:50,239 --> 01:37:56,039
that day. I kept my oath
to ensure the peaceful transfer of power under

1266
01:37:56,079 --> 01:38:01,399
the Constitution of the United States of
Anne. Again, that's the that's the

1267
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:05,760
strongest I've ever heard him state any
of that. That's good, you know,

1268
01:38:08,239 --> 01:38:16,079
UM say, from my heart,
I understand the disappointment that many still

1269
01:38:16,119 --> 01:38:23,520
feel about the outcome of the twenty
twenty election. I can relate. I

1270
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:29,880
was on the ballot, but I
had no right to overturn the election,

1271
01:38:30,319 --> 01:38:35,000
and Kamala Harris will have no right
to overturn the election when we beat them

1272
01:38:35,119 --> 01:39:00,359
in twenty twenty four. Finally,
let me say to my countryman, I'll

1273
01:39:00,399 --> 01:39:04,239
always be grateful for what President Trump
did for this country. Now, I

1274
01:39:04,399 --> 01:39:08,960
thought, when he got to this
part, okay, here comes the gushing

1275
01:39:09,119 --> 01:39:14,000
and effusive praise, and now we're
going to get you know, five minutes

1276
01:39:14,039 --> 01:39:16,079
of that, because he's got to
soften. You know, there was some

1277
01:39:16,159 --> 01:39:19,520
criticism there. He's got to soften
all that, all that, but not

1278
01:39:20,039 --> 01:39:23,680
exactly. I know, we're almost
out of time, but just a little

1279
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:30,359
bit more. I've often prayed for
him over the past few years, and

1280
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:35,600
I prayed for him again today.
I had hoped he would come around and

1281
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:41,119
see that he had been misled by
the way. There it is. He's

1282
01:39:41,159 --> 01:39:45,159
got it, he does. So
it wasn't the five minutes of gushing praise

1283
01:39:45,199 --> 01:39:47,880
I was expecting. But he does
still give him an out, and that's

1284
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:51,239
where it is where he says he
was misled, which means, oh,

1285
01:39:51,359 --> 01:39:55,399
people gave him bad advice, so
it's not really his fault. So he

1286
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,680
does still slip that in gives Trump
an out, which is really a way

1287
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:03,720
of giving himself an hour okay,
but still overall stronger than what we've heard

1288
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:09,039
from him in the past. But
here's the rest of that thought about my

1289
01:40:09,159 --> 01:40:17,920
role that day, but that was
not to be. Oh and there's another

1290
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,720
ad that popped up on the video. Well, actually we'll stop there anyway

1291
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:25,199
because we are almost out of time. But he goes on, there's a

1292
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:29,880
there's a great line later, so
he you know, he gets past that

1293
01:40:30,079 --> 01:40:31,680
part. That's part of the sort
of the second act of the speech.

1294
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:35,479
And then in the third act though, he goes back to talking about policy

1295
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:39,479
and kind of his vision for the
future. But he hits Trump a couple

1296
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:43,279
of times again in a way that
surprised me. One where I'm completely with

1297
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:47,760
Pence. He talks about how Trump
and he goes right at him on this

1298
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:53,720
and correctly, so he talks about
how when Trump well, when putin first

1299
01:40:54,039 --> 01:40:58,960
decided to invade Ukraine in full,
Trump said it was a genius move.

1300
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:02,520
He called Putin a gene and praised
him, and uh, Pence says,

1301
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:05,600
he's I wish I could remember the
exact wording of the line, but and

1302
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:09,720
he says it forcefully. He says, you know, I I know the

1303
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:14,840
difference between a tyrant and a genius. And uh and and really kind of

1304
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:17,039
slams Trump for being so uh,
you know, for for his praise of

1305
01:41:17,159 --> 01:41:21,239
Putin and um, and really makes
it clear. Pence makes clear what his

1306
01:41:21,399 --> 01:41:26,800
position is on it, because uh, you know, you've got people like

1307
01:41:27,039 --> 01:41:30,239
oh, and he goes at DeSantis
on that too. He says, you

1308
01:41:30,319 --> 01:41:33,279
know, Putin's no genius, and
this was not a territorial dispute. This

1309
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:36,880
is not simply a territorial dispute,
which is a shot at DeSantis and what

1310
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:40,680
he has said. And there's other
you know. I don't know if my

1311
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:43,800
dad realizes this, because I know
he's a big fan of of Evec Ramiswamy,

1312
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:46,079
but of avec Ramiswamy's position is,
oh, we should make concessions to

1313
01:41:46,199 --> 01:41:50,279
Russia and all this. So but
uh, you know, he but he

1314
01:41:50,399 --> 01:41:54,000
goes right at right at Trump over
that too. That's later in the speech.

1315
01:41:54,039 --> 01:41:56,439
We just don't have time, but
we gotta go. We are out

1316
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:59,840
of time. Thank you all so
much, everybody. H thank you Holly

and they will be here with us
in studio. Really look forward to that.

1324
01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:30,000
So that's gonna be a lot of
fun. Everybody, Please be safe

1325
01:42:30,079 --> 01:42:35,640
again. The air is terrible outside, so take care of yourselves. Trying

1326
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:41,159
not to breathe in any of the
