No, it's November first, May

13
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,799
Christmas. We still got to get

00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:38,879
big holiday is Veteran's Day. No, the next big holiday is my birthday.

15
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,519
What are you talking about? Oh? Yeah, when is that?

16
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,439
It is? What's today? November
first? It's November one, twenty nine,

17
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,040
twenty eight, twenty eight days.
Listen, man, it's been a

18
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,000
day. Okay, it's Thanksgiving Eve, right, it is my birthday party,

19
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,319
but my oh technical birthday is November
twenty nine. But oh okay.

20
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:06,120
I'm generally horrible at remembering birthdays.
I remember mine, I don't. I

21
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:12,840
barely remember my own too. Sometimes, Like Jenny wished me happy birthday and

22
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:19,639
I was like, oh yeah,
he's like, oh crap. Yeah,

23
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,280
yep, welcome everybody. H DJ
Reckless is here and we have a great

24
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,960
guest coming up in the second hour. Boston band Inverter will be skyping in

25
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,240
and we'll be playing some of their
music, really really good band, and

26
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:37,159
a couple of those guys too,
apparently used to work at WBCN when that

27
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,360
was still a thing, So for
a radio nerd like me, I'll have

28
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,319
to ask them some questions about that
too. I don't know if it's going

29
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800
to be the whole band on skype
or just a couple of them or one

30
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,759
of them, but we still see. But uh yeah, I really like

31
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,080
these guys Inverter, high energy,
heavy, really really good stuff. So

32
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,680
yeah, so that'll be coming up. That'll be coming up a bit later,

33
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:02,759
and and oh tomorrow, we have
a simple complex joining us in the

34
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,400
second hour, a great band whom
I've interviewed several times over the years and

35
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:10,879
shared a stage with at some shows
back when I used to play in in

36
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,319
bands. I uh opened for them
or booked a show that you put them

37
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,719
on it or so. I have
a long association with those guys that will

38
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:21,560
be tomorrow. I think they're coming
in. That'll be really cool. And

39
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:28,560
then Friday we have Sepsis and perhaps
some other VIPs associated with Swarmy Fest coming

40
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,400
up Saturday at Jewel. So there's
a lot going on. It's a big

41
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:37,879
week. Yes, Yes, Jenny
has told me only Deeke from the band

42
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:39,919
Inverter will be skyping in. Well, he's cool. I believe he's one

43
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:44,560
of the guys who worked at WBCN, so I'll be asking asking him about

44
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,240
that as well. And I'm sure
he's used to being asked about WBCN.

45
00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:57,800
But long ago, if I remember
correctly, we did a show on Friday

46
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:00,759
Night Retrospect Radio with poly C.
I think we did a show that was

47
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,520
a tribute to WBCN. You're gonna
have to elaborate to me, madam,

48
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,960
I know, I know WBCN.
Yeah, legendary rock station out of Boston

49
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,039
that they closed a while ago.
Who's a number of years ago? Now,

50
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:17,120
what was the one that just most
recently closed? Like everyone had a

51
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:24,759
well there's also wa a f that
might have been afterward. Yeah, yeah,

52
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:30,319
but WBCN. There's a documentary about
WBCN that I think this was a

53
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,759
few years ago, but I think
it was playing and it played and conquered

54
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,279
at the I forget the name of
the theater now. It's where where they

55
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,959
show a lot of documentaries and and
independent films. And I think, if

56
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,920
I remember correctly, Peter White went
to that, went and saw it.

57
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,360
It wasn't like the Capitol Theater or
something like that. No, it was

58
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:50,759
there is the Capital Theater in uh
in conquered or the Capitol Center. I

59
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:54,120
think it used to be the Capitol
Theater and then it became the Capital Center.

60
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
But no, it's uh, it's
a there's a theater. Oh,

61
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,839
I think it's red River red River
the Yes, and uh yeah, I

62
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:04,439
think actually I think Peter and poly
C might have gone to that together to

63
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:10,199
see that the WBCN documentary, and
they said very good things about it.

64
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:13,800
I hope I have that right.
This was a number of years ago,

65
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,639
so but anyway, Yeah, so
very interested in speaking with Deeke at the

66
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,839
top of the hour, and like
I said, we'll play some inverter very

67
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,319
very cool band. And what do
you have going on this? Oh?

68
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:28,079
You know what? Before we even
get into that, do you want do

69
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,920
you want to talk about yesterday?
This is kind of funny you. I

70
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,279
think we referred to it on the
air, but I didn't get the full

71
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:43,560
story until afterward. Our guests yesterday? Who was what was the band we

72
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,040
had on you? Yeah, the
Mighty Suicide Squirrels. I could remember the

73
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:49,240
full name. I didn't want to
just say the Squirrels, the Mighty Suicide

74
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,160
Squirrels. Yes, So we had
them on the show, but you ran

75
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:57,079
into them before the show, before
they came on. It was funny because

76
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,879
right so I was on for the
first hour and then we went on break

77
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,079
and I ran over to six o
three because anyone that knows me right now

78
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,240
is that I'm doing a lot of
work over there with that with that team

79
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,680
to get Friday Night's going. And
I was over there and these guys go,

80
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,439
didn't we just see you on our
on our phone. I go,

81
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,839
what do you mean? And they
showed me the live stream of the radio

82
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,399
radio show and they're like, yeah, we're going on at five. I

83
00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:24,839
go, oh, oh, hi, how are you today? Yeah?

84
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:27,720
Yeah, So that was pretty cool. And then I was supposed to get

85
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,439
get back on at five and I
never did. Well you did eventually,

86
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:33,600
I did. You got back into
you didn't have the code, but but

87
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:40,480
wasn't there also something about your I
heard you you warned them not too uh

88
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:46,120
im vibe and alcohol before coming on. Uh huh? I thought PTSD man

89
00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:49,759
major PTSD And I wasn't even here
for it, right right, yeah,

90
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,160
if you know, you know,
But yes, it's it's you don't want

91
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,920
to be uh uh no. And
they were they were fun. I like

92
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,199
those calls. I like those guys
a lot. But no, I just

93
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,199
thought it was funny that you ran
into the more there and you like kind

94
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,959
of warned them, Hey, it's
easy before you go on a radio show,

95
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,519
you don't want to be a little
uh too uh saucy. I think

96
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,720
the young people, the young people
say that, right. Kyle Clayton of

97
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:15,399
The Morning Show, he's in the
chat room. He says I don't recommend

98
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,319
it. Yeah, me neither.
Man. Yeah. The one thing I've

99
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:26,120
never done, I've never come on
this show drunk. No, no,

100
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,959
never, No, that is discouraged
to do that after though, Is that

101
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:33,000
is discouraged in this establishment? Yeah? Yeah, well I've never done that

102
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,319
either. But of course I'm barely
a drinker. I think if you over

103
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,879
the course of my adult life,
if you were to average it out,

104
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,720
the uh, Like, I'm not
a non drinker, because when someone says

105
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:46,800
non drinker, I take that to
mean someone who never touches alcohol. But

106
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:49,040
I think if you were to average
it out over the course of my entire

107
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:53,360
adult life, or since I was
twenty one old enough to drink, I

108
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:57,879
probably have a drink a year is
probably what it averages out, too.

109
00:07:57,959 --> 00:08:01,240
That's how uh, that's how little
alcohol all I can say. I wish

110
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,920
I could say the same. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your liver probably

111
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,720
wishes that too. Hey, my
liver's doing just fine. Okay, well

112
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,800
you're still you sin, Jenny.
This will catch up with you, Jenny,

113
00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:13,879
My liver's doing fine. It'll catch
up with you. Kidding, what

114
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,279
kill me when I go home?
Now? Your liver's going to kill you?

115
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:20,279
No, Jenny, you've got a
few years left with the liver,

116
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,279
I'm sure, but a little cirrhosis
is you know? I mean, you

117
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,279
know, you're a young man.
We're chilling, We're good, We're great.

118
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:31,759
Those Titos and Crans are doing are
doing great now? Oh yes,

119
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:33,159
So I started to ask you,
what do you have coming up this week

120
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,240
for djying because you are very,
very busy and it's hard to keep up

121
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,519
with you. Yeah. I just
dropped my November rundown, which is thirteen

122
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,679
dates, which I don't like because
it's the number thirteen. But you better,

123
00:08:45,799 --> 00:08:48,240
you better add another one. I'm
super I'm super stoked though, because

124
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,080
because my promotion brand Project Reckless,
is finally taking over Friday's at six so

125
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,799
three, and it's been something I've
been wanting to do for a wicked long

126
00:08:56,879 --> 00:09:01,799
time, and so we're doing like
crazy liquor promos like five dollars Fridays,

127
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:09,519
where like green tea shots, white
tea shots, Tito's and well drinks and

128
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,799
beers are all five dollars. I
know I ask you this every time,

129
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000
but I can for some reason,
I can't remember. Yeah, what is

130
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,600
a well drink? More like bottom
shelf liquor. Oh the cheap stuff.

131
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:22,080
Yeah. Oh why why is it
called the well drink because it's like from

132
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,960
the bottom of the well or something. I don't know that that's probably what

133
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,879
it is. I just handle like
getting cheap liquor prices because that's like all

134
00:09:30,919 --> 00:09:33,399
my clients will loves. Uh.
So, like, yeah, no,

135
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,159
we're taking the whole Reckless University thing
is taken over Fridays there and I have

136
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,919
have Thursdays at Murphy's and Murphy's right
now is popping. M h. I'm

137
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
I'm super proud of the whole entire
team that I've put together, and they're

138
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:48,840
week in and week out, we're
doing the numbers we're doing over there because

139
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,559
it's unheard of up here, Like
you get down to Boston and like obviously

140
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:56,879
they have I'm basing what I'm doing
up here. I'm basing out from like

141
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,799
what I'm watching in Boston with like
the promo and stuff like that and Slacker

142
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,080
University. I'm watching what they're doing, and I'm sort of doing the same

143
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,600
thing up here to a point.
Yeah, but yeah, I know Fridays,

144
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,440
I am s six o three officially
every Friday, and I'm so excited

145
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,320
for it because now I'm not Now
I'm not only opening, I'm headlining and

146
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,440
closing. So that's that's that's huge
to me. It's been something I've wanted

147
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,639
to do. We're also in the
process of finally planning my birthday, which

148
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:28,039
I I'm nervous, why because last
year was like huge and I think this

149
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:33,639
year could be very good. I'm
excited for it. Well good, well

150
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,759

151
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,360
I always like to give you an
opportunity to do on my Instagram to

153
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:46,679
got to change that, but I
just I don't have the heart to do

154
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,360
it anymore. It's just I love
how I love how difficult it is sometimes

155
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,799
really, except when people are drunk
trying to type it in just give me

00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,080
Facebook and yeah that's it actually,
because I don't you really give up my

158
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,240
snapchat as much anymore. Yeah,

166
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,919
that we can hear and enjoy your
dulcet tones is to give us a call

167

Eric Agnan Uh Tom former entertainment reporter. No he still is he just fired?

171
00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,120
Well, I mean, uh,
you know, we we might have

172
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,919
to put him under review after that
last report. Wait when did I miss

173
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,840
Oh, it's just it was hard
to hear him at one point. At

174
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,120
one point it sounded as though he
had put the phone down and had walked

175
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080
to the other end of the room
and was speaking to us. It was

176
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:22,759
great. Other, yeah, that's
what it sounded like. At one point

177
00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:28,600
it was let me tell you about
them. April Cushman date. Honestly,

178
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:30,799
you know what it sounded like.
At one point too, it sounded like

179
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,960
he was speaking to us on a
cordless phone from nineteen eighty eight. It

180
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,399
was Yeah, it wasn't It wasn't
great. I mean, you know,

181
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:43,639
the effort was there, just technology
was not cooperating with our friend EZG not

182
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,879
cooperating at all. Tom Blanchard is
in the Facebook claut chat and says,

183
00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:54,679
awesome music today from noon to three
on WM and H. I don't know

184
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,440
what was playing from noon to three
pm today on the on the station.

185
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,840
But wait a minute, that doesn't
even make sense because two to four.

186
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,559
The replay of the morning Show with
Peter White is two to four. I

187
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,120
was going to say, maybe maybe
he meant noon to two pm. Also,

188
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,200
Matt, you don't listen to the
radio show when you're not here,

189
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,200
Matt, I do sometimes. Nope, you have to listen to it twenty

190
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,759
four to seven. That would well, that would be difficult. I mean

191
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:28,480
I have to sleep. But yeah, Jay Fed joins us from the great

192
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480

Melanie A La Liberty. Melanie says,

193
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,360
hey, DJ Reckless, how are
you doing. I'm doing great? She

194
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,759
also says, come on, admit
it, you love it. When I

195
00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:43,200
am in the chat room, I
just realized you Your hat said AOC on

196
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,960
it, Matt. My hat does
not. It does has AOC on it.

197
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,399
It says People's Action. Yeah,

198
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,960
A C. Well those letters,
Uh, can you I tell them I'm

199
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,200
trying to dodge that subject. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I'm not

200
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:03,320
happy with her. She came at
me over something I felt very passionate about

201
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,080
and then tried to spin a narrative. Therefore, I don't like you.

202
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:11,759
Well, you know, you DJ's, you're always feuding. No, not

203
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,519
necessarily me. Yes, you DJs. Some of us know you're always beefing

204
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,720
beef. I like to say,
I like to say that word with a

205
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,480
deep voice, beef. Last time
I had beef with the DJ they came

206
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:30,039
and commented on the show. So
we sorted that out. Hopefully that's right.

207
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:33,360
Easy, G says, I going
to get me some DJ reckless.

208
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,639

Oh god, why that sounds horrifying.

225
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:54,559
That's disgusting. Sorry, Melanie says

240
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,599
did because you laugh. There's a
bunch of things in here that are funny.

241
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,000
I don't even want to know,
man, I don't even want to

242
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,880

want people to know where I am
djaying so they can plan. That is

244
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:27,480
very considerate. Isaac Banks says,
good afternoon. Hashtag Victoria Piper, how

245
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:30,119
are you doing? I was wondering
if you would like to come to the

246
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:37,839
Inner Rhythm Choir concert at Lindley Park
Baptist Church. Well, very nice,

247
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,359
we have a call. Hi,
welcome to Matt Connorton. Unleash. Who

248
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:47,480
is this? No, Dave Ridley, It's David Ridley in time, No

249
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,920
talk, Dave Ridley. What's going
on? Dave? Well, it looks

250
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,960
like I've been listing over the last
couple of days and this looks like the

251
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:03,039
first chance for meted to actually call
an in tell you something interesting is happening

252
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:11,079
in New Hampshire. Oh well,
I'm intrigued. So apparently things are so

253
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:18,680
quiet and awesome in New Hampshire that
the this is the The Hampshire government has

254
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,160
set up a task force to try
and protect us from the dangerous forces of

255
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:27,160
Quebec. Ah. Yes, well
this is why I feel that if we

256
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:30,680
do ever secede from the Union,
we need to have at least one nuclear

257
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:34,799
weapon in case uh Quebec ever tries
to invade us. What have they done

258
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,799
to protect us from from Quebec?
I mean, you know how they are.

259
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:44,079
I hope that's not racist. I
think we need to be on guard.

260
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,359
What's going on, David Ley,
and please don't be one sided about

261
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,200
it. Tell us what those Quebecers
are up to? Yeah, you know,

262
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:03,519
hunting, fishing around with the on
license plates. So I guess the

263
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,359
idea is that well if there,
if you know, the politicians disigareed otta,

264
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,079
they can get so much mileage out
of a crisis in you know,

265
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,279
on the Mexican border, why not
manufacture a crisis on the border with Quebec.

266
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,599
So I guess there's been a string
of politicians coming and going from New

267
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:23,440
Hampshire's northern border it's completely unpopulated northern
border, worrying that nothing in particular might

268
00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:29,160
happen, right, and trying to
get more funding for their project to do

269
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:37,160
nothing important on the northern border except
interfere with traffic. Now what if,

270
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,160
well, okay, what if a
moose were to wander across that border and

271
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:45,200
cause all kinds of dave. You
know, you have to prepare for any

272
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:52,400
eventuality, especially when speaking about our
border. Yeah, and you know,

273
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:56,839
have you ever been to Dairy?
I'm not sorry. Derby Derby Derby Line,

274
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,160
Vermont, No, I don't.
I mean, we have a couple

275
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,880
of Vermontras in the chat room who
might have. I've never been there.

276
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,559
It's called Derby Line Derby Line.
So the idea is that they want to

277
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:12,119
increase policing on New Hampshire's border with
Quebec, but in Derby Line where they

278
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,440
have a you know border. Actually
I don't know if the border is Quebec

279
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:21,400
or just Canada in general. But
the town has been turned into a police

280
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,759
state and a ghost town at the
same time. Does that because I haven't

281
00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:27,240
actually haven't been there, but I've
watched a lot of raw video from the

282
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:33,079
site and just read some articles and
so like, for instance, they got

283
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,519
like they've got policing going on inside
the library because the library sits on both

284
00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:40,559
sides of the border. Because no
one used to care. Right twenty years

285
00:20:40,599 --> 00:20:44,119
ago, when people were saying,
wait a minute, they have a they

286
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,759
have a library there that that is
on literally on the border, like part

287
00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:52,400
of it's on each side of the
border, correct, because in the old

288
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,720
days, no one cared where the
border was, right right. Yeah,

289
00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:59,680
Oh that's interesting. Yes, So
this is just I mean, this is

290
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,880
the reality of border border policing.
People think, oh, yeah, we

291
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,480
got some kind of a problem in
the border, so the obvious solution is

292
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:11,079
to send a bunch of police.
But what happens is the police wind up

293
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:14,839
feeling you into your country. They
don't keep the enemy out, they keep

294
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,960
you in. Does that make sense, Yes, yes it does. And

295
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,599
by the way, those people are
not not our enemies on either side on

296
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:27,480
either border, right on the northern
border or the southern southern border. I'm

297
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,119
just I'm just amazed. I don't
mean to be stuck on this day,

298
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,839
but I'm just fascinated by this idea
that you can walk into a library and

299
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,799
actually enter another country while you're in
there. We could, we could,

300
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,319
but now I think they've got it
all locked down. And you know,

301
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:49,240
I don't know exactly what's going on
inside the building right now, but it

302
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:55,920
changed, you know, after they
started doing their border fascism now Melanie in

303
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
the chat room, she's one of
the Vermontras that I was referring to.

304
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,240
She said, no, we have
we have to police to protect our books.

305
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,759
Uh, we have police to protect
our books. That happens in every

306
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,519
Vermont library and to make sure people
are not chewing gum while reading. Of

307
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,839
course that is obnog sense. I
mean Vermontras have nothing else better to do.

308
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,759
Oh my goodness, you're going you
have to do up there, You're

309
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:22,200
going in. You can go snowboarding. Now, Dave, just to provide

310
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:29,119
some context to reckless his uh uh
comments there, he's currently beefing with another

311
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,400
DJ who's from Vermont. Oh no, no, this is like I'm singing

312
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,400
in general, dude. Oh oh, I thought you. I thought this

313
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:37,799
was part of your beef. No, I'm saying, like, Vermont,

314
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:41,680
what what do you have up there? There's actually a veggie burger you can

315
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:44,960
get called all beef aside. Uh. I forget where they. I think

316
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,839
they have it at the USA Chicken
and across the street there. Yeah.

317
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,319
Also, we need to talk about
that later. That's what I was eating

318
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,000
earlier. Problems with you. I
ate the U I had an all beef

319
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:59,240
aside. Uh, Dave, So
what uh so, so, why why

320
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:02,839
are all these you said, it's
a it's it's like, uh, there's

321
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,680
all these police. But it's a
ghost town too, so there's like nothing

322
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,720
going on there, but all these
police are there watching that portion of the

323
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:12,119
border. Is that what you're saying. Yeah? And also some some New

324
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,720
Hampshire liberty activists went up there a
couple of years ago and they tried to

325
00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:21,759
film outside and they got they got
harassed by authorities, but I don't think

326
00:23:21,799 --> 00:23:26,119
they arrested anyone. Uh. By
the way, Legion of Solace says the

327
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:34,400
menaicine marauding moose of mass destruction from
Montreal. Yes, yeah, that guy

328
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:44,200
needs to be a rapper DJ Yes, he was saying the Legion, yes,

329
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:47,559
Dave, go ahead. So to
their credit, the a c LU

330
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,839
got involved there. I guess the
n h c l U for the New

331
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:55,279
Hampshire branch of the a a c
l U. They they have gotten involved

332
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:59,799
and been fighting this. They had
a demonstration at the Statehouse recently, just

333
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:03,160
a few days ago, I think, and so think thank you to them

334
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,759
for doing that. We had someone
from the New Hampshire a CLU on the

335
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:11,839
show maybe a few weeks ago,
maybe a month ago, discussing that verious

336
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,559
well and other subjects as well.
But he did talk about the border issue.

337
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,759
I know that some will say,
and I have not studied this carefully

338
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:23,920
as far as our border with Canada, but I know that some would say

339
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,160
that there's a lot there is actual
illegal activity going on at that border,

340
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:33,519
smuggling and things like that. But
I will confess I don't know a lot

341
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:38,759
about what goes on there, but
good there needs to be more illegal activity

342
00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:45,039
as long as it's not violent,
as long as it's not severy so,

343
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,000
when when New Hampshire seceeds from the
Union, we'll have an open border with

344
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,119
Canada, I assume I'll push for
one. Don't know if I'll get it.

345
00:24:55,799 --> 00:24:57,200
Let's see again. That's the thing. That's the thing about independence is

346
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,960
independence is just independent, the freedom
to to mismanage your own affairs. Right.

347
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,319
You mean you're going to make all
the right decisions. And it doesn't

348
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,000
mean your government's going to be great. It just means you're not going to

349
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:11,680
be ruled from Washington anymore. That's
all it is, right, right,

350
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:17,960
But who will corral the moose?
I don't know, do you corral moose,

351
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,039
How do you I don't think how
do you call? Because how do

352
00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:23,519
you keep them from just walking around
and walking into somebody's yard and reckons.

353
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,920
I'll tell you what if I lived
up near that border and I saw a

354
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,240
moose coming across that border and doing
weird stuff, and like what do moose

355
00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:33,839
do? Like do they break stuff? Or I don't know what moose actually,

356
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:37,799
I've never seen a moose up close. Are they dangerous? I think

357
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:41,920
they're dangerous, right? Do they
have antlers? They're pretty, They're they're

358
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,440
pretty docile. But I have seen
on rare occasions they will harm people,

359
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:51,759
very rare occasions. I've seen a
video of a moose either killing a guy

360
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,599
or injuring him. The way they
do it is by running on top of

361
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,920
you, and then you know,
they go ten or twenty meters off past

362
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:03,640
you, and then they turn around
and run back over you again. I've

363
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,759
always wondered that's cruel. And I've
always wondered what I've wondered if a big

364
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:12,960
red fire truck has ever hit a
moose? Oh, I wonder I wonder

365
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:15,559
too. Yeah, that's a danger
with moose, right, That's why you

366
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,960
see their Uh, that's why you
see those signs in certain places where they

367
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,720
alert you that there's moose because they
can, uh you know, if you

368
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:29,440
hit one in your car, good
luck you and or the moose might end

369
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:34,920
up dead. Yeah. Yeah,
you ever see those You ever been behind

370
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,799
a vehicle where they've got a sticker
on it that says I break for moose

371
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,799
And it's like, well you would
hope you do? Yeah, And I

372
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:45,240
always find that odd. It's like, well, yeah, I I actually

373
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,279
interestingly enough, and maybe this is
just me, but if I'm driving,

374
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,839
I'll break for pretty much anything that
comes running out in front of the car.

375
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:00,920
I mean, point now when now
that will once one we've succeeded from

376
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,000
the union, you might be able
to do that, but not yet,

377
00:27:03,319 --> 00:27:06,720
reckless, and now I am canceled
or well that we won't be able to

378
00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:08,279
do that, actually, will we, Dave, when we're when we've succeeded

379
00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:11,720
from the union, we'll have some
laws, right, Like you won't be

380
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,400
able to run people over, will
you. It will just be up to

381
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,279
the legislature, like it is.
No, man, I gotta choose violence

382
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:25,119
real quick. You gotta choose violence. Yeah, why, okay? Well,

383
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,359
I think right, reckless you always
have a question, why do we

384
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:32,519
even think that it's a possibility that
New Hampshire will succeed. That's what I'm

385
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:33,680
getting here, that's what I'm hearing. But I couldn't. I could have

386
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,440
missed at different thing. That's a
norm, that's a normal reaction. Whenever

387
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:42,799
somebody comes forward with an accurate prediction
about the distant future, it always sounds

388
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,519
crazy. Does that make sense?
Arthur Arthur's c Clark used to say,

389
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:48,960
like, if you have a scientist, you put him in a room thirty

390
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:52,519
years ago and he predicts what things
are like now thirty years ago, everyone

391
00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,400
thinks he's crazy. Does that make
sense? It does, But I don't

392
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:03,319
think after how long have we been
in ben a state in the United States

393
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,839
of America. I guess thirty years
something like that. So what makes you

394
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:15,799
think that down the line, within
the next thirty years we're going to succeed.

395
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,519
What is your reason? You can't? Yeah, things are gonna things

396
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,519
are going to change so much over
the next thirty years that we can't see

397
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:26,920
what it's going to look like.
But we can see backwards. We can

398
00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:30,920
see history, how people thought Estonia
would always be in the Soviet Union and

399
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,799
Slovenia would always be in Yugoslavia and
Catalonia would always be in Spain. But

400
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,519
the long term history is that actually
the number of countries has been increasing pretty

401
00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:44,480
fast. It's up, it's four
times. I think there's four times as

402
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:48,680
many countries now as there was one
hundred years ago. The long term trend

403
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:55,039
is toward toward independence, and that
that that if we think otherwise in the

404
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:00,960
United States, that's just we're being
American exceptionalist. It's likely that that this

405
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:04,240
trend will affect us eventually. Did
that make sense? Okay, So my

406
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:08,400
next question would be why do why
do we think it's New Hampshire. Why

407
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:15,440
don't we think it's like Maine,
Alaska, North Dakota, something along the

408
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:18,759
border, something else along the border. Why do we just think it's New

409
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:22,559
Hampshire Or do you just like to
see all the states? Yeah, I'd

410
00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:26,839
like to see all the states independent
from the federal Union, you know,

411
00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:30,480
but it's up to each state and
it's just what you know, what we

412
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,720
think. But historically, one of
the reasons why you benefit from being the

413
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:38,160
first one out the exit is again, look what happened to Slovenia, their

414
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,680
first one out the exit. They
do fine. Croatia and Bosnia, however,

415
00:29:42,799 --> 00:29:48,039
you've heard of because they were too
slow when the time came. And

416
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:52,960
in Estonia they were first one out
the exit. They did great. Everyone

417
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:56,920
has heard about how great Estonia is
doing. But look what happened to Look

418
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,200
what happened to Chechnya, which was
the last Sviat region to try and leave,

419
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,720
leave the Soviet Union, and they
had a war. So you want

420
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:10,519
to be the first one out.
Preferably everyone gets out without a war.

421
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,319
But secession is one of those things
that tends to happen under It happens because

422
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:22,079
something terrible happens to the federal The
federal government does something terrible and the situation

423
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,119
becomes really bad, and then people
start looking for solutions like secession. Right

424
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,000
it becomes a solution when things get
really bad. But right now it's just

425
00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:37,079
an idea because things seem okay.
Does that make sense? Yeah, I

426
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:41,279
mean yes. But New Hampshire is
never the first to do much. I

427
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,000
mean, look at us. We
still haven't legalized marijuana, but here we

428
00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:48,319
are, so I don't think we're
going to be the first to succeed.

429
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,000
Well we'll see, we'll see.
I mean, you know, we poked

430
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,519
around on the internet just see what
do what people are saying, See which

431
00:30:55,559 --> 00:30:59,240
state you think is frivished in the
lead. I would say it's probably Texas

432
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,880
right now, in New Hampshire in
second place, and I would rather see

433
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,799
New Hampshire in first place versus one
at the edit. That's what I was

434
00:31:04,839 --> 00:31:11,200
saying. Texas or maybe Alaska,
because those are strong secessionist movement there too.

435
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:15,119
Right in Alaska, there is,
but it's been pretty couiescent for a

436
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,799
while. It was furthest ahead as
of twenty years ago, and then they

437
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:25,240
just kind of lost focus. And
in New Hampshire we still have you know,

438
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:27,400
people or people move here every day
that are trying to get away from

439
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:34,319
some authoritarian state like Connecticut or Oklahoma
or something like that, and they come

440
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,680
here with a bias in favor of
independence. And so we have, like

441
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:44,119
we're the only state in the Union
has an increasing population of immigrants who want

442
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,880
independence, who are almost almost specifically
coming here for that. Does it make

443
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,839
sense? Yeah, I didn't know
that, but that's that's interesting. I

444
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,839
mean, technically they're not coming here
for New Hampshire independence, but if they're

445
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,160
a free Stater, who's moving to
New Hampshire from some other state. They're

446
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,400
going to already have a bias in
favor of independence. Of course, the

447
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:06,440
United States shouldn't be able to rule
the Amshre. That's just what all of

448
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,000
them would tell you pretty much.
Hmmm, yes, all right, that's

449
00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:14,480
going to be a that's going to
be a trend. I mean, it's

450
00:32:14,519 --> 00:32:17,839
an immigrant trend and no other state
has it. But yeah, I mean

451
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:23,000
i'll talk too much. No,
Dave, we appreciate the call. Are

452
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:28,559
any anything else on that subject?
Help me. If you want to push

453
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,400
back against the border they wasted the
money they're going to waste on that border.

454
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,079
If you want to push back against
that and the police state they're going

455
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:38,039
to try to set up up there, then come to forum that Shiresociety dot

456
00:32:38,119 --> 00:32:42,319
com and you can talk to the
rest of us and crazy people and we

457
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,400
can do crazy things like being against
the police states. All right, very

458
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,559
good. I'm still fascinated about this
library. I need to research that,

459
00:32:50,759 --> 00:32:55,759
but all right, Derby Lyon library, Okay, yeah, I'm gonna I'm

00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,839

the call. I appreciate it. Okay,

462
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,799
by guys, all right, bye

463
00:33:07,119 --> 00:33:09,359
Dave Ridley and that does open up
the line for you. Six o three

464
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:14,960
two five o six oh seven six
three two five oh six o seven.

465
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,119

Ridley had something he wanted to say as

466
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,759
well. See what, Oh hey, I have something. I have something

467
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,960

468
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,319
been directing that to you, DJ
reckless. Huh, I think he has

469
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,240
something for you. Oh no,
my friends just texted me. But the

470
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:36,279
blasphemy this man just said. My
friend just ran, Oh okay, I'm

471
00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:38,000
done. I gotta go, I
gotta go. Oh, virtual Dave Ridley

472
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:42,319
is leaving as well. Your friend, Uh what my friend just was like,

473
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,880
this dude is stupid. My friend
just like, yeah, your friend

474
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:52,160
is stupid. No, oh oh, your friend is uh saying that about

475
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,279
Dave Ridley. Yeah, okay,
come on, man, Matt, you

476
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,240
can't possibly both tell me you believe
that we're going to seceed from the you

477
00:33:59,519 --> 00:34:01,960
problem they from the United States of
America. You can't possibly tell me you

478
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:05,799
believe this. No, I don't
believe it, and I think it's a

479
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,800
terrible idea. Yeah, exactly.
But I don't believe Davi Ridley is stupid.

480
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,400
I think he's actually highlighted. No, he's not stupid. I think

481
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,320
he's just uh but but I do
think he's dedicated himself to a cause that

482
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:21,320
is fruitless and uh, you know, I mean it's never gonna happen.

483
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,719
It's just never gonna happen in no
way. Uh. But uh, that

484
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,320
does open up the line six O
three two five six seven six O three

485
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,760
two five six seven. Uh.
Melanie was saying in the chat moose do

486
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,519
whatever they want. They are too
big to try to redirect. We had

487
00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:46,440
one in our backyard a few years
ago. Let's seem wow, very busy

488
00:34:46,519 --> 00:34:51,559
chat room. Oh my goodness,
my goodness. So want to make sure

489
00:34:51,599 --> 00:34:55,880
we didn't miss anybody in here.
Melanie said, Uh, how does he

490
00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:00,519
know that more people are moving to
New Hampshire looking for him? I think

491
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:05,559
you just made that up exactly.
Jay Fed says it sounds crazy to you,

492
00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:09,079
Matt, because it's not happening yet. Isaac Banks says Matt Connerton on

493
00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:15,480
November six, twenty twenty three,
at Center City Park, downtown Greensboro karaoke

494
00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:23,239
is I'm performing a solo known as
Iikman Breezy, also Jimmy Palermo and me

495
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:30,400
performing. Our singing group is Eon
Venom four with our bandmates is Jay Berkolder

496
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:38,639
and T Kwan C Brooks. Very
nice, very nice. Hey, you

497
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:46,119
know what I haven't I haven't do
we have time to do that? Yeah,

498
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:50,559
I'll make this quick. Something I
haven't talked about on the air,

499
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:58,159
and something about Isaac Banks's comments remind
me of this, and we might after

500
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,000
the interview with Inverter, we might. There's a lot of new news and

501
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:05,840
speculation about AI taking over and whatnot. Now you know, reckless, You

502
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,760
know that our device has listened to
us, right, m They hear everything

503
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,320
we say? Yep. Do you
believe it's possible that they also read our

504
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:20,599
minds? Yes? All right,
Yes we're on the same page here.

505
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:22,800
All right, I'm going to tell
you why I think this. By the

506
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,440
way, I'm about to tell you
something that you're all going to think I'm

507
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,960
insane, But I don't care,
because this is not a bit. This

508
00:36:31,199 --> 00:36:36,760
is one hundred percent trough what I'm
about to tell you. And you'll probably

509
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,880
say, Matt, this is all
just a coincidence, But I don't think

510
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,119
it is. It's a little two
coincidental to be. Don't get me wrong,

511
00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:45,840
I'm not one of these people who
says, oh, I don't believe

512
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,639
in coincidence. No, of course
I believe in coincidence. Coincidence has happened.

513
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,840
But this is really really weird.
This is really weird. Okay.

514
00:36:52,920 --> 00:37:04,000
So recently something reminded me. So
I saw in my newsfeed online there was

515
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:08,480
something about Van Halen popped up an
article about Van Halen. Uh, the

516
00:37:08,599 --> 00:37:14,679
last studio album that they did with
David Lee Roth called It's like twelve years

517
00:37:14,679 --> 00:37:16,599
ago, thirteen years ago, maybe
not quite that long. I was called

518
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:20,159
a simple kind of truth. Great
album, but apparently it's not available on

519
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:23,119
any of the streaming platforms. And
I was puzzled as to why. And

520
00:37:23,159 --> 00:37:28,000
I was reading the article. Anyway, me reading that article, it brought

521
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:30,280
back a memory. And you know, my dad listens to the show.

522
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,039
I'm sure he remembers this. When
I was a kid, van Halen released.

523
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:36,760
It was on VHS because that's what
you know, we didn't have DVDs

524
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,159
yet. Uh, back back back
in my day, we had vhs and

525
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,320
uh it was it was called Live
Without a Net and it was of a

526
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:52,440
live show from new Haven, Connecticut. I remember specifically it was new Haven

527
00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:57,719
because Sammy Hagar. During the concert, he announces that they're renaming it New

528
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,079
Halen, Connecticut. It's very no
but the great concert, and I remember

529
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:07,679
watching it with my dad, and
my dad really loved it too. In

530
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,639
fact, we ended up watching the
entire thing twice. He let me stay

531
00:38:09,679 --> 00:38:13,079
up late, even though it was
a school night. We both enjoyed it

532
00:38:13,199 --> 00:38:15,800
so much, and then he had
to walk ten miles uphill to school.

533
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,960
No, I'm getting to the weird
part right, So new Haven, Connecticut.

534
00:38:20,159 --> 00:38:23,599
So I didn't discuss this with anybody
just recently. It just it was

535
00:38:23,639 --> 00:38:29,000
a memory that popped into my brain
because I saw this article about Van Halen

536
00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:32,639
online and I just I thought back
to that night that my dad and I

537
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:38,039
watched that concert that was recorded in
new Haven, Connecticut. Next thing,

538
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:42,440
I know, after thinking about that, hadn't discussed it with anybody. I

539
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:45,920
just thought about it. It's just
a memory. Next thing, I swear

540
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,440
to God, you're all gonna think
I'm nuts, but I can prove.

541
00:38:47,679 --> 00:38:52,840
I have the emails to prove it. A day or two later, I

542
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,760
start receiving you know how like,
if you're living here in Manchester, you

543
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,920
can sign up for like email alerts
and text alerts about you know, when

544
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,719
there's a snow emergency, or you
want to know when you know, if

545
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,280
if they send out an alert that
a street's going to be closed because of

546
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,519
road construction or whatever. Well,
new Haven, Connecticut has that, of

547
00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:16,960
course, probably most cities do.
Now, all of a sudden, I'm

548
00:39:17,079 --> 00:39:24,960
on this mailing list, I'm getting
emails. I'm getting emails from city hall

549
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:31,920
in new Haven, Connecticut as though
I'm a resident there, with alerts like

550
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:37,000
you know there's going to be road
construction going on at this time. I

551
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:40,440
have no idea why. So when
was this? This was a few weeks

552
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,639
ago. Okay. I was gonna
say, because you I know, you

553
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,119
went to I went to Providence,
Rhode Island. Yeah. I was gonna

554
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:49,639
say, maybe when you were driving
through there or something. I don't know.

555
00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:52,760
I don't know. This is that's
crazy, dude. I did well.

556
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:58,840
I didn't even go through Connecticut.
I went through Massachusetts. Oh my

557
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,360
geographic you know. But I swear
to god, I just I had a

558
00:40:04,599 --> 00:40:09,920
random memory about New Haven, Connecticut. Didn't discuss it with anybody. Didn't

559
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,119
say anything about it online. It
was just a memory about new Haven,

560
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:17,199
Connecticut. And the next thing I
know, I'm on this weird mailing list

561
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,920
getting these alerts. Like I could
probably tell you, I probably have an

562
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,079
email in my inbox I didn't bother
to open about. You know what's happening

563
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:30,079
right now and new Haven, Connecticut. I'm telling you, the technology is

564
00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:34,000
there. They're reading our minds.
And I know I sound insane, but

565
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:37,360
this isn't a bit. This isn't
me trying to be funny. This happened.

566
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:40,280
I haven't even told Jenny about this
yet. This happened. I know

567
00:40:40,519 --> 00:40:45,559
I sound like a lunatic, but
I'm telling you. But I'm telling you

568
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:49,280
I thought about new Haven, Connecticut, and the next thing I know,

569
00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:55,440
they're sending me alerts. It's bizarre. So my issue with all of this

570
00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:02,400
is cool that damn mailing list.
Bro, I'm over it. I'm over

571
00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:08,679
Trump in particular with these email lists. Email list is a trigger word for

572
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,360
me right now, oh, because
my email right now this is all Trump

573
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,679
stuff and I don't even support him. H I signed up for maybe one

574
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:21,599
newsletter or something, or maybe when
I got years ago, when I got

575
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:25,599
a ticket to the thing at the
arena. But like I swear, they

576
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,000
just like transfer these email databases from
one group to the other, because damn,

577
00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:35,679
bro, I'm getting emails from Chris
Christy, Barack Obama's all right,

578
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,079
Trump everything, and I'm like,
dude, I don't even involve myself in

579
00:41:40,159 --> 00:41:45,920
this. Uh huh, I could
care less. But yeah, now I'm

580
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:52,320
running out of email storage because of
y'all stop spamming me with emails. Well,

581
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,400
I'm starting to think maybe all you
have to do is think really hard

582
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:59,599
that you want them to stop spamming
you, and they might. I think

583
00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:04,320
hard. My brain explodes because they
can read our thoughts. Now, how

584
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,079
do you explain that though it's so
bizarre, that's that's back to that that

585
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:13,320
it's crazy and this is you know, this is all true, Like none

586
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,599
of this is for a fact,
I'm not exaggerating any of it. I

587
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,519
thought it and then there it is. You know what's coming full circle for

588
00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:25,039
me right now is you just brought
up Sammy Hager. Hagar Hagar. Yeah,

589
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:30,519
we were just talking about him maybe
three days ago randomly at the bar.

590
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,360
Oh really, yeah, yeah,
And we were talking about like David

591
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,280
Lee Roth and all those people.
Yeah, which obviously that's before my time.

592
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,599
I didn't know who that was.
But to hear the name come back

593
00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:44,800
around it was really weird because I've
never been a name I heard before,

594
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,679
but now all of a sudden,
I'm hearing it like two times in one

595
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:52,239
week. Yeah, is the red
Rocker. Yeah, we're gonna like get

596
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,320
canceled in a minute here, bro, because we're like, we're gonna start

597
00:42:54,360 --> 00:43:00,639
talking about like this time space continuum
and everything else. I don't know now,

598
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:02,199
Melanie said in the chat room.
Anytime you give your email on a

599
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,039
website, they sell that. Yeah, but they sell it to new Haven,

600
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:10,480
Connecticut city Hall. They've been known
to do that. It's just so

601
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:15,119
bizarre. I don't know. I
was born in Connecticut, but not New

602
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:21,760
Haven. I was born in Hartford, Hatford I think is Hotford, but

603
00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:24,920
yeah, I don't know. Oh. Isaac Banks helpfully explains in the chat

604
00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:30,239
room Van Halen was the front man. Was David Lee Roth back in the

605
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,840
eighties. Well, yes, and
then Sammy Hagar. By the way,

606
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,840
it's a divisive topic. People will
say who do you like more? Who

607
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:45,039
do you prefer Roth or Hagar?
You know what I always say, I

608
00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:49,639
love them both for different reasons.
They're both great canceled. I sound like

609
00:43:49,679 --> 00:43:52,480
a fence sitter, I know,
but I love them both. Now gun

610
00:43:52,599 --> 00:43:55,239
to my head, though, I
go Hagar, Segar's got the pipes.

611
00:43:55,599 --> 00:43:59,239
I don't know who of these people
are. I've just heard the name like

612
00:43:59,519 --> 00:44:01,880
three times because they wanted to do
a Sammy Hagar tribute and I was like,

613
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,800
no, we're not doing one,
absolutely not. That will not sell

614
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,679
tickets. Sammy Hagar tribute. Yeah, that wouldn't sell tickets up here.

615
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:16,480
I'm sorry, I don't know,
like uh, because there's been a discussion

616
00:44:16,519 --> 00:44:20,960
to get live music back into six
o three. Yeah, and DJs.

617
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,199
I'm just like the guy said,
yeah, I want to do Sammy Hagar

618
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:27,840
tribute. I'm like, absolutely not. And then you're gonna have me DJ

619
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,199
hip hop after. Make it make
sense, my friend, Make it makes

620
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:37,400
sense. Oh. Isaac Banks helpfully
clarified regarding David Lee Roth before Sammy Hagar

621
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,719
was the front man of Van Halen. Yes, Roth was first, and

622
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,679
then Hagar, and then Gary Sharon
and then and then I don't know who

623
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,599
any of these people are because I'm
like, I know young, yes,

624
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,679
yeah, I know obviously what van
Halen is yeahes you cannot escape. Van

625
00:44:53,760 --> 00:45:00,280
Halen certainly one of the biggest bands
ever. Oh. Tom Blancher says,

626
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,400
I'm going to Florida tomorrow for my
sister's birthday. I'm going to miss the

627
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,719

628
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,119

we are on the internet. But if

629
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:12,239

pounds, soaken away. I know.

632
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:27,079
Yes, you are very very thin. You seem to get cold easily.

633
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,000
It wasn't It wasn't even cold yet, and you were complaining about it being

634
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:34,079
cold the other day. I'm always
complaining about the weather. It's either too

635
00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:37,559
hot, too cold, or it's
dry. That's true. I've noticed that

636
00:45:37,679 --> 00:45:42,559
about you. Yeah. Isaac Banks
says Van Halen had good hits. Yes,

637
00:45:43,519 --> 00:45:45,559
yes, they did. All right. Well, we are approaching the

00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,199

and disconnect you from Skype? Is
this? Yeah? Do be spying you?

701
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,440
I can hear you. It's weird
because these the connections on both isn't

702
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,679
so great. I think I live
in some like Bermuda Triangle, like spot

703
00:52:42,199 --> 00:52:44,760
in Massachusetts, who knows, who
knows? Yeah, you never know.

704
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,679
With Skype, it's uh, it's
hit or miss. It's better than it

705
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,280
used to be, but it's still
will fail us at times, as technology

706
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,800
can often do. But uh,
I'm glad to have you here, man.

707
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:00,800
I love this. Uh, I
love this band inverter You sent us

708
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,079
a few tracks and we're gonna We're
gonna play some more a little bit later.

709
00:53:04,159 --> 00:53:07,320
I'll play another one at the end
of our discussion. But great,

710
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,800
great stuff, very very catchy but
heavy. You know it's it's catchy and

711
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:15,639
heavy, which isn't something that everybody
can pull off. But really really good.

712
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,280
Thank you, Thank you appreciate that. Yeah, someone recently called us

713
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,400
dance metal. I'm like, I
don't know if it's true, but that's

714
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,079
cool. And one thing we find
is every time we play, the chicks

715
00:53:25,079 --> 00:53:30,119
are always moving up front, which
I'll take any day, because we always

716
00:53:30,159 --> 00:53:34,119
try to we always try to kind
of have that groove element to things as

717
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:36,679
opposed to blast beats and all that
stuff, which we love too, but

718
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,559
it's just not what we do.
Yeah, I totally get that dance medal.

719
00:53:40,599 --> 00:53:44,199
I like that. I wouldn't have
thought of that term, but that

720
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:51,199
completely makes sense. And uh yeah, very cool. Yeah you guys are

721
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,119
all Are you all from the Boston
area? Yes? Correct, Yeah,

722
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:59,159
Boston area. And strange that we
all, every single member of the band

723
00:53:59,199 --> 00:54:01,920
at once, at one point time
was affiliated with the former regula station WBCN

724
00:54:02,039 --> 00:54:06,119
out of Boston one oh four one. Yeah, we were talking about many

725
00:54:06,159 --> 00:54:08,199
moons ago. Yeah, yeah,
we were talking about that earlier. And

726
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:14,719
you know, I'm a radio nerd, and I vividly remember WBCN, although

727
00:54:15,519 --> 00:54:17,719
I can't I can't remember the name
of the Dorees. A documentary that came

728
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,880
out a few years ago right about
WBCN. Yeah, there is. There

729
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,760
was a book that came out.
I made it in like four I was

730
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,400
like the later guard of BCN.
I'm in like four pages of the book

731
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,480
maybe, yeah, but it's more
about Like the said, I didn't even

732
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,360
grow up in the Boston area,
so it's about like the seventies era of

733
00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:37,360
BCN, the Heyday, and there
was a documentary, and to be honest,

734
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,159
I have not seen it, even
though I worked there for seven years.

735
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,960
I'm ashamed to say. No,
I'm with you. I haven't seen

736
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,559
it either. That'll be on my
list my Netflix rentals or whatever. There

737
00:54:46,599 --> 00:54:49,920
you go. No, like I
said, I haven't seen it yet either.

738
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,599
And I'm a radio nerd, so
I definitely need to see it.

739
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:55,599
But but I've heard really good things. You're getting some love in the Facebook

740
00:54:55,639 --> 00:55:00,079
live chat. By the way,
Legion of Solace says inverter is a a

741
00:55:00,199 --> 00:55:06,400
great, high energy live show that
doesn't surprise me and Leon, so thank

742
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,960
you, oh very nice, very
nice. And Jay Bellow from the band

743
00:55:09,199 --> 00:55:14,079
Chasing the Devil is also in the
chat room and said rock with multiple with

744
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,039
multiple exclamation points, so I think
he digs what you're doing as well.

745
00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:22,800
Thank you. Yeah, can you
kind of so can you kind of fill

746
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,280
us in on the I was reading
your bio. I'd love to hear you

747
00:55:27,159 --> 00:55:30,880
kind of take us through the origin
story of the band, because it's a

748
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,360
little bit unconventional, and plus you
throw in the piece where you've all worked

749
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,199
at WBCN once upon a time.
So can you kind of fill us in

750
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:43,199
deep about how the band got started. Well, yeah, I didn't start

751
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,440
out at bc and it just that's
more coincidence. And I guess you know,

752
00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:47,280
it's a small in the world of
rock or the scene, be it

753
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:52,039
New England or local in Boston.
It's all it's a small scene. Yeah.

754
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,239
So you know, like our drummer, Jeff used to be in the

755
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:59,280
band Seventh Rail Crew, which is
a pretty big like metal hardcore band out

756
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,719
of the Boston area. He later
drum for Genufleck, which was fronted by

757
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:07,400
Drew from the Van Revley who did
odds f Bill Bracken's been in five thousand

758
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,480
bands. He's our guitarist, Jeff
Law and drummer. I think I mentioned

759
00:56:10,519 --> 00:56:15,239
that. So he and I were
in a Rage of Gusting tribute band called

760
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,920
Age Against This Machine at one point
time. I played drums for that,

761
00:56:19,039 --> 00:56:22,079
though I didn't front that band.
Okay, and Jimmy Evangelista was kind of

762
00:56:22,119 --> 00:56:25,480
a neck breaker the muscle for the
BCN Street Team at one point in time,

763
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:30,239
and I loosely knew him back then, just you know this linebacker sized

764
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,440
dude in the hallway and say hi, do never knowing he played bass guitar

765
00:56:32,559 --> 00:56:37,360
and lo and behold fast forward many
years he's playing bass rouss. The dude

766
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:42,639
smokes. Great player. Bill Bracken
probably arguably and not in my words,

767
00:56:42,679 --> 00:56:45,079
and one of the better guitarists in
the New England area maybe beyond. He's

768
00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:50,599
got a trophy case of like shredder
competition trophies. He's incredible, nice and

769
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,679
jessic killer drummer. So it started
off though, as a studio project.

770
00:56:53,719 --> 00:57:00,599
Bill and I hanging out of his
basement drinking whiskey writing songs in the aftermath

771
00:57:00,639 --> 00:57:04,199
of another band we were in called
Death Dealer. Thee app like deaf Jam

772
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,480
Records, you know, and we
thought it was clever at the time.

773
00:57:06,639 --> 00:57:09,800
Yeah, yeah, And that fizzled
out and we started writing our own stuff,

774
00:57:10,199 --> 00:57:14,360
and I was drumming for that old
project too, and I started writing

775
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,119
a lot of lyrics for our other
vocalists in the span of time. At

776
00:57:17,159 --> 00:57:21,000
one point I'm like, why am
I writing vocals and lyrics for someone else?

777
00:57:21,039 --> 00:57:22,400
I should just be the vocalist,
right, And it kind of just

778
00:57:22,519 --> 00:57:27,280
happened. So from a studio project. The first album just me and Bill.

779
00:57:27,679 --> 00:57:30,559
I'm playing drums on it and doing
vocals. He's playing bass, guitar

780
00:57:30,719 --> 00:57:34,280
and guitar. You start getting all
these gig offers, and we decided maybe

781
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,239
we'll put a band together. And
now we've just released our fourth albums.

782
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:43,119
Wow, congratulations. Now the tracks
that we're hearing today are they all from

783
00:57:43,159 --> 00:57:46,119
the fourth album? Yeah? So
this is actually the first time we've been

784
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:49,559
signed to a label too, which
has been cool. That's Ass of the

785
00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:52,639
Earth Records. They're based out of
the Connecticut area. Bands like well,

786
00:57:52,679 --> 00:57:54,119
you know, Scissor Fight. I'm
sure they're from right around where you're at.

787
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:59,360
Yep. Yeah, Scissor Fights on
that label. Kings and Liars,

788
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,639
this other band as kind of members
of d Snyder his band He's not e

789
00:58:01,679 --> 00:58:06,440
from Twisted Sister. Same Yeah.
Uh, Casting Shadows, a bunch of

790
00:58:06,519 --> 00:58:08,480
really cool band's hero in the horror. The Salts of the Earth Records put

791
00:58:08,519 --> 00:58:13,239
out our album just came out of
but a month ago. Maybe Sonic Vandalism

792
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,639
I think I said that, and
uh, yeah, we're we're just doing

793
00:58:16,679 --> 00:58:21,920
a lot of shows in support of
that, right, now album number four,

794
00:58:22,119 --> 00:58:24,679
and we kind of pulled all the
stops on it. I definitely feel

795
00:58:24,719 --> 00:58:28,039
I know people will say this,
I think it's their best album so far.

796
00:58:28,559 --> 00:58:30,360
We kind of hit our stride.
Yeah, Corey Glover. We get

797
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:36,159
the thumbs up from him of Living
Color Fame the tracks, which was huge.

798
00:58:36,199 --> 00:58:38,320
He's one of He's won two Grammys, so that was just a little

799
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:44,039
surreal to work with him. Yeah, and uh yeah, I just I

800
00:58:44,119 --> 00:58:46,320
think it's a heck of an album
in terms of, you know, being

801
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:53,079
a bit eclectic and hitting our nerdy
stride, a lot of bizarre thematic things

802
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:58,440
in there. Has the Has the
sound changed over the years, because obviously,

803
00:58:58,559 --> 00:59:00,480
as you talked about, when you
first started out, it was a

804
00:59:00,559 --> 00:59:05,519
studio band with just two of you, and and then and then it grow

805
00:59:05,639 --> 00:59:09,480
from there. Has the sound changed
would? I would imagine it's evolved in

806
00:59:09,679 --> 00:59:13,880
some sense. I mean, if
you go back, if you go back

807
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,599
the first album, which is a
self titled we recorded with Jim Foster,

808
00:59:15,639 --> 00:59:21,480
who is just Fandelphi. Uh yeah, and the first one is a little

809
00:59:21,679 --> 00:59:24,119
angrier and a little more kind of
political. I guess, you know,

810
00:59:24,239 --> 00:59:28,400
take whatever message anyway you want it. But it's a little angrier. Yeah,

811
00:59:28,679 --> 00:59:30,199
and uh it's funny. I look
back, my voice was a lot

812
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:35,079
clearer than like, years and years
of doing this is to change my speaking

813
00:59:35,199 --> 00:59:37,719
voice. You know, it's a
lout raspier. Yeah, so I noticed

814
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,920
that, but uh, it's it's
funny. When we first started playing,

815
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,199
we kept getting branded as rap rock, you know, like new metal,

816
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:49,880
hip hop metal, which I never
really felt we were. But there are

817
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,360
a lot of trailer that has kind
of a hip hop rhyming hayden or delivery,

818
00:59:53,519 --> 00:59:57,039
so I get it. At the
same point. Sure, I just

819
00:59:57,159 --> 00:59:59,519
never liked that term. My damn
it, Like there's more, you know,

820
00:59:59,559 --> 01:00:01,599
we're doing more than that, But
you know when you get pigeonholed in

821
01:00:01,599 --> 01:00:06,079
on some of the kind of things. But truth be told, I grew

822
01:00:06,159 --> 01:00:08,840
up with a lot of crossover bands
like you know, Downset, bio Hazard,

823
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:13,639
who all employed hip hop elements,
So I see where that's coming from.

824
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,320
Yeah, yeah, it was a
fair enough assessment. But our more

825
01:00:17,559 --> 01:00:21,480
modern stuff. Sure of some of
the verses and stuff, I still like

826
01:00:21,559 --> 01:00:24,800
to to rhyme and all that,
but it's a little more songish than it

827
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:30,519
is verse deliberate hip hop. Do
you still play any of the early material

828
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:34,960
live. Did any of those songs
make it into the present iteration of the

829
01:00:35,039 --> 01:00:37,920
band? Yeah, well, yes
and no. There's a track it's kind

830
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,480
of become It was our first track
ever written. It's kind of become a

831
01:00:40,519 --> 01:00:43,840
fan favorite for like a heavier song. It's called back in the Dirt.

832
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,719
It's basically about like stopping a lazy
bump sitting around doing nothing, whining about

833
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,639
it, Like, get up while
you still have some life. You know,

834
01:00:50,679 --> 01:00:54,840
you're complaining while other people out there
are double amputees fighting cancer. I'd

835
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:59,360
listened to some of my friends whining
and Facebook about their problems, which amounted

836
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:04,400
it. Basically, it's like stopping
a total whining loser. Get out there

837
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:06,880
and live your life. You know
you're lucky enough to be here, right,

838
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,159
And that was our first track.
We still play that one, and

839
01:01:09,239 --> 01:01:13,800
it's funny. I told the story
to someone recently. You write these songs,

840
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:15,400
you never you know, you never
really, I don't know how to

841
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:19,519
explain this. And radio was the
same way you do your show. You

842
01:01:19,639 --> 01:01:24,760
talk, but you kind of never
realize that people are actually listening and taking

843
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:28,559
it all in sometimes because you're just
in a room by yourself doing your thing

844
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,440
right. Some woman came up to
me at a show and she told me

845
01:01:31,559 --> 01:01:37,199
that that song in the chorus chorus
and she played her repeatedly helped her fight

846
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,960
and get through cancer. I was
like, what, Wow, Like I

847
01:01:40,079 --> 01:01:43,719
write these songs like this, never
think he's going to reach anyone, especially

848
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,599
in some emotional level, but that
like hit me too. I was like,

849
01:01:45,679 --> 01:01:51,280
oh my god. I never would
have thought anyone would have received it

850
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,400
or youth the track as such,
so it was very flat. But that's

851
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,480
I think the only one. We
still work in to defect a lot of

852
01:01:59,519 --> 01:02:00,679
the stuff. I mean, like
in any band you're writing new material,

853
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,800
you want to play all the new
stuff that it's new, it's fresh,

854
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:07,639
it'sniting. I mean, we're actually
working album five already, but there's you

855
01:02:07,679 --> 01:02:10,880
know, there's one song we play
that's a no album. But the new

856
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,519
album, Sonic Vandalism, is still
very fresh to us. It's fun to

857
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:17,480
play these tracks to people who haven't
heard of them yet to see how they

858
01:02:19,239 --> 01:02:22,480
come off. And it's been the
reception has been very good so far,

859
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:27,960
excellent. And how did that come
about? You signing with AsSalt of the

860
01:02:28,079 --> 01:02:31,639
Earth, Because you know, the
music business has changed so much, and

861
01:02:32,039 --> 01:02:36,000
you know, you've got various options
in terms of how you want to market

862
01:02:36,039 --> 01:02:37,480
and promote your music, whether you
sign with the label, whether you do

863
01:02:37,519 --> 01:02:40,920
it on your own and all that. How did that come about signing with

864
01:02:42,039 --> 01:02:45,480
that label? Truth be total if
I was if I had to hand the

865
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:51,920
blame or the credit to one person. This guy, Dwayne Eldridge, BattleJacket

866
01:02:52,079 --> 01:02:54,360
is his nickname, This guy from
Connecticut. I think it was the scene

867
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,159
down there is great and a lot
of the bands around this area Central Math

868
01:02:58,239 --> 01:03:00,360
as well. We network and out
with all of these bands. This guy

869
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,440
reached out to us. They used
to be this club and of all places,

870
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:07,360
Jewet City, Connecticut, like in
the middle of nowhere. I actually

871
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,000
have some family from there. But
there was this hole in the walk club

872
01:03:09,079 --> 01:03:13,360
we'd play and the place was awesome, Like people would be so supportive of

873
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,679
bands. They would show up,
stay to the end. This guy gave

874
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,519
us a chance, brought us onto
some show. It was like a two

875
01:03:20,679 --> 01:03:22,760
room festival thing and he's like,
listen, I'll give you guys a chance

876
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,280
on the show. But you're going
in the second stage, second room.

877
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,440
On first It's like, oh,
craft, I'm like, you got to

878
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:30,119
figure dudes. Ye, we thought
it was gonna be this. You know,

879
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:32,840
we'll do the show and maybe we'll
give us something better next time.

880
01:03:34,199 --> 01:03:36,800
We got there early, there were
a ton of people. We sold so

881
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:42,079
many shirts and CDs. It was
incredible. And through that we playing shows

882
01:03:42,079 --> 01:03:45,480
down there, we got to know
Scott Harrington and Christy his wife who runs

883
01:03:45,519 --> 01:03:47,639
Salt of the Earth Records. They
saw us a bunch of times. They

884
01:03:47,679 --> 01:03:51,639
were fans. They have kids,
like very young kids were fans too,

885
01:03:52,239 --> 01:03:54,440
So we just started getting to know
them. And at first I didn't even

886
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:59,760
know he ran a label. Yeah, and it turns out he runs Salt

887
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:02,280
of the Earth Records. We almost
did our last album with him as well,

888
01:04:02,599 --> 01:04:05,639
but he just had too much in
his plate. Doing a release from

889
01:04:05,679 --> 01:04:10,440
other friends of ours, Dead by
Wednesday, who were playing with Oh Tomorrow

890
01:04:10,519 --> 01:04:14,800
in fact in New Bedford with the
band tap Roots and a couple other releases.

891
01:04:15,079 --> 01:04:17,920
Is their fight being one. So
that's the long short of it.

892
01:04:18,599 --> 01:04:20,800
Dead by Wednesday, that's the name
I haven't heard in a while, but

893
01:04:21,199 --> 01:04:24,920
very familiar with them. Yeah.
Oh that's cool. Yeah, well yeah,

894
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,079
they're still around. They put on
an album recently. It's awesome.

895
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,360
Oh I'll have to check that out. I'll have to check that out.

896
01:04:30,159 --> 01:04:32,880
I had them years ago when I
was booking shows here in Manchester. I

897
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,079
had them up for Oh wow,
that was a jeez. I don't even

898
01:04:36,119 --> 01:04:39,360
want to think about how long ago
that was now that I'm thinking about it,

899
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:44,639
but right, you and me,
Yeah, it was a long time

900
01:04:44,719 --> 01:04:46,920
ago. So you, guys,
I assume you're playing a lot. You're

901
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,000
doing a lot of shows to support
the new album. Yeah, we're pretty

902
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:54,039
I mean we're a pretty busy band. We got some and things have been

903
01:04:54,039 --> 01:04:57,480
getting better and better, fat good. We played not that long ago with

904
01:04:57,559 --> 01:05:01,920
Living Color in Burlington, Vermont.
Actually could be playing with them on January

905
01:05:02,039 --> 01:05:05,320
twenty eighth at the Angel City Music
Hall. Oh right, in Manchester.

906
01:05:05,719 --> 01:05:09,119
We're opening for a Living Color,
which is like home, come on,

907
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,119
like you know again, they want
two Grammys. They sold like four million

908
01:05:12,159 --> 01:05:15,760
albums. Yeah, their kick ass. Yeah. And then tomorrow, like

909
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,360
I said, the Vault in New
Bedford with our friends and said by Wednesday

910
01:05:20,079 --> 01:05:24,800
and this span Lydia's Castle. It's
John Wisaki, the drummer from Stained,

911
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:30,159
former drummer from Stained, his new
band from Nashville and a couple others,

912
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,000
I believe. So that's the Skiller
Club, the Vaulton at Bedford, and

913
01:05:34,599 --> 01:05:42,599
we have a big show on the
Horizon with Scissor Fight in Vermont and then

914
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,000
down in Rhode Island. We play
all over New England quite frequently, a

915
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:47,440
couple of times a month. Yeah, So it's been good, it's been

916
01:05:47,519 --> 01:05:55,599
consistent, excellent, excellent, and
I imagine the live show is pretty high

917
01:05:55,760 --> 01:06:00,280
energy. How long how long do
you guys play for? Do you do?

918
01:06:00,599 --> 01:06:02,800
I mean, do you do like
a fourpence? I mean some of

919
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,199
these megabills you'll get anywhere from like
a thirty minute set to an hour set

920
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,360
usually, Yeah, and on all
these like if you have twenty bands and

921
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,079
they're all high energy, you're allowed
and fast and aggressive, like there's only

922
01:06:14,119 --> 01:06:18,320
so much the audience could take,
I think right, which we're usually I

923
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,679
don't know how to put this.
We're usually with a lighter bands, let's

924
01:06:20,679 --> 01:06:24,239
call it, because we'll get built
with all these like blast black metal,

925
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,159
death metal bands some of them.
Yeah, I love that stuff. Yeah,

926
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,679
but we time and time again we'll
get the comment like, oh,

927
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:34,400
you guys were a welcome pace changer
in the set, you know, just

928
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,800
having a very different style, but
it's still heavy. There's still I heard

929
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,679
you guys talking about van Halen earlier. There's all these throwback elements too.

930
01:06:41,719 --> 01:06:46,360
Bill Brack and her guitarist, huge
van Halen fan. He owns the Eddie

931
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:50,519
van Halen with the fifty one to
fifty whatever guitar that signed like an actual

932
01:06:50,599 --> 01:06:57,000
model from Eddie. He's like obsessed. Oh no kidding. Yeah, So

933
01:06:59,239 --> 01:07:02,679
it's I know what I'm getting at
here. But we're definitely a melting pot

934
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:06,920
of many things in terms of influences
and all of us being kind of slightly

935
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:14,199
different ages too. And what about
I'm curious about your drummer. I've noticed

936
01:07:14,239 --> 01:07:19,000
a trend on the show recently when
I'm talking to bands. It seems like

937
01:07:19,119 --> 01:07:25,760
everyone's drummer these days is in multiple
bands. So I'm curious if Jeff Lawn

938
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,880
l hefe I see his nickname on
the webs. Yeah, is he in

939
01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:33,480
like ten other bands or is he
does well being a drummer myself, this

940
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:39,440
is the only band I've ever front
that I've played drums and bands forever yeah

941
01:07:39,599 --> 01:07:44,000
so, but yeah, drummers,
especially ones that are competent or never mind

942
01:07:44,039 --> 01:07:46,400
ones that are really good, are
at high demand. Even more demand are

943
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,800
good bass players. So if you're
out there and contemplating playing instruments, pick

944
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:53,960
up the bass. Like every band
needs a good bassis. They're really hard

945
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,519
to find. Everyone plays guitar,
Yeah, you have a thousand good guitarists.

946
01:07:57,519 --> 01:07:59,880
There's a couple of great ones and
there's a ton of lousy ones.

947
01:08:00,039 --> 01:08:03,360
But Jeff, he does play in
another band called the Grizzly Band Band.

948
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:10,079
Okay, yeah, but in Verter
Usuals is, luckily for us, scheduling

949
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:13,119
kind of his priority, even though
he makes good money with that other band,

950
01:08:13,159 --> 01:08:15,640
because they're more like a like cover
band, you know, they play

951
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:19,239
like bar gigs and stuff. They're
really good. Yeah. Yeah, but

952
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:26,880
luckily for us as Allegiance seems to
be the majority of it with Inverter excellent.

953
01:08:27,039 --> 01:08:29,680
Oh that's good to hear. And
yeah, bass players too, you're

954
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,880
right, I tend to be in
high demand. I'm a bass player and

955
01:08:32,199 --> 01:08:35,840
uh geez, I was playing in
multiple bands at once back when I uh,

956
01:08:36,079 --> 01:08:40,279
when I used to play, when
I was really you know, heavy

957
01:08:40,359 --> 01:08:43,720
in the in the scene. But
yeah, I think I think with bass

958
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,479
players as you're right, you know, everyone wants to play guitar. You

959
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:49,479
get more glory that way, and
and I think with with drummers. My

960
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:54,479
theory has always been that when you're
growing up and you first you're getting interested

961
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,640
in playing a musical instrument, well
you know because you you are also a

962
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,439
drummer. You know, you got
to have that conversation with your parents at

963
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,800
some point about yeah, you know, I want to learn to play play

964
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,840
this or that, And then you
got to if you wanted to play drums,

965
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:09,479
you got to kind of talk them
into letting you bring a drum set

966
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:14,159
into the house. Makes a lot
of noise. Yeah, A favorite kids,

967
01:09:14,239 --> 01:09:16,479
not a favorite of parents. When
I first started drumming, my parents

968
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,960
basically wouldn't let me until I reached
an agreement with them. I said,

969
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,479
listen, if I save it my
own money mowing lawns and all those other

970
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,680
craft and shoveling driveways, I can
buy my own drum set. And they're

971
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,039
like, okay, if you do
that. Sure I did. I've been

972
01:09:29,079 --> 01:09:35,159
playing forever. It's but again,
bass players the toughest, the toughest to

973
01:09:35,239 --> 01:09:40,359
find, and we lucked out big
time. Jimmy Jimmy Eaves would call me

974
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:44,399
holds down the low end very nicely. He's a great presence in the stage.

975
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,840
The dude hilarious. I mean,
a total team player. You know,

976
01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:49,159
we fee all these bands we've played
with over the year, some of

977
01:09:49,199 --> 01:09:53,359
them just be falling apart because they
don't get along. They argue over stupid

978
01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:57,000
things, or some one of the
bands got a drug problem or whatever.

979
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,399
Luckily, Knocking Wood we've had like
no problems and we've been together like seven

980
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:04,560
or so years. Oh that's good, that's excellent. And by the way,

981
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,199
I was reading in your bios,
so you not only did you work

982
01:10:08,199 --> 01:10:13,319
at WBCN, but you were also
an HGTV host. Yeah I was.

983
01:10:13,399 --> 01:10:17,000
I did a show called Tiny House
Builders O Seas. Oh wow. Yeah,

984
01:10:17,319 --> 01:10:20,159
it was an it was an interesting
experience, kind of a nightmare,

985
01:10:20,279 --> 01:10:24,520
to be honest, But what was
it really? Why I'm curious. It

986
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,239
was so like tolling physically and like
they didn't know what they were doing.

987
01:10:28,279 --> 01:10:30,880
And I told them we need more
people, we need more time to build

988
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,439
all these things, and they,
you know, it just it was tough,

989
01:10:34,319 --> 01:10:36,479
but it was fun because we had
to do some traveling and spend a

990
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:40,000
ton of their money. And yeah, and I still build a lot of

991
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:45,159
treehouses and crazy structures, custom build
them for people and design them for a

992
01:10:45,239 --> 01:10:50,239
living each workshops about building construction and
kind of alternative design all around the US,

993
01:10:50,399 --> 01:10:54,640
even in a couple recently my brother
and I in Australia, tas Mania.

994
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,600
I go all over the place doing
that stuff. I'm back from my

995
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:00,840
I've authored several books for a publisher, and one of them, right now,

996
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,680
Let's Do in about a month,
is based on treehouses. Oh no,

997
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,439
kidding. Oh, it all comes
kind of full circle. If only

998
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:14,159
I could combine metal in freehouses or
whatever, I'd be a happy man.

999
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:16,840
More. If I could extend the
twenty four hour a day to forty eight,

1000
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,600
I could get more done. Yeah, I think we all have that

1001
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,439
problem. I can relate to that. Oh yeah, no, that's uh,

1002
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:28,960
that's really cool though. So you've
written now the books that you've written

1003
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,920
about this, I assume it's under
the name Derek Didrickson or I don't know

1004
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,880
if you Yeah, I go but
yeah, you know, like even in

1005
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,920
the building design scene, I go
by deep. I have a help of

1006
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,520
YouTube channels, one of which is
you know, fairly large. I got

1007
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:47,359
about two hundred and thirty thousand subscribers. And so I do like ten or

1008
01:11:47,399 --> 01:11:50,760
eleven things that all culminate as a
job and a half for a living.

1009
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,960
But they're all like, yeah,
hobby jobs. Let's call them stuff I

1010
01:11:55,039 --> 01:11:57,640
love doing. Anyway. I do
a lot of custom artwork and design,

1011
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,920
and I have an Instagram page,
oh, which is just dejos and art

1012
01:12:00,359 --> 01:12:05,760
I just started for all my like
graffiti and artwork stuff like that. When

1013
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:09,039
we play live, we get a
couple of stage propts we use that are

1014
01:12:09,119 --> 01:12:12,840
kind of street art. I've done
these big stand up creature things. Oh

1015
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,960
wow. Yeah, some people have
compared to White Zombie. That's another one.

1016
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,560
I'm talking about dance metal and groove
and all that, and truth be

1017
01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:25,479
told. When Las Extasys from White
Zombie came out, I ate that album

1018
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:29,159
up. I just loved it.
So even the artwork tie, and I'm

1019
01:12:29,199 --> 01:12:31,560
like, okay, it's fair enough. You know Static x White Zombie.

1020
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:36,520
Those are frequent comparisons. Yeah,
yeah, that's those are you know you'll

1021
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,119
take those, right, I mean
those are that puts you in good compo.

1022
01:12:40,279 --> 01:12:42,760
Yeah, that puts you in very
good companies. They're both bands again,

1023
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,359
to use the term over and over, they both have groove. They

1024
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,760
have that, you know, that
locker like you know, band like Pantera

1025
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,399
wasn't just about thrash beats, baby
paul and drums really had they grooved the

1026
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,479
thing. That's why I love them. And I think they did well with

1027
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:59,279
big beats and Jeff brings that every
time, so it works out nicely.

1028
01:13:00,079 --> 01:13:02,600
And by the way, so what
did you what did you do at WBCN.

1029
01:13:02,680 --> 01:13:06,520
Were you an on air personality or
yeah, so I was from seven

1030
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:13,319
to midnight. I was just on
air DJ for about seven years. Yeah,

1031
01:13:13,399 --> 01:13:15,399
yeah, and it was it was
fun. I mean I didn't grow

1032
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,279
up in the area, so it's
one of those like, oh my god,

1033
01:13:17,359 --> 01:13:21,199
you worked at WBCN. I named
fewer remember now since they're gone.

1034
01:13:21,399 --> 01:13:25,720
Sure, but it's like having not
grown up here, it wasn't as big

1035
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,159
a thing to me, But you
know, later I quickly realized how important

1036
01:13:29,159 --> 01:13:31,800
that safety was the Boston, how
legendary it was. It broke you too,

1037
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:36,640
They broke the cars. You know, quite a few big bands that

1038
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:42,119
really helped at the drop Kick Murphy's
and on and on. And it was

1039
01:13:42,199 --> 01:13:45,239
fun. I mean I got to
interview everyone from like James Hatfield to you

1040
01:13:45,319 --> 01:13:49,600
know, the guys in Green Day
to you know you in that era from

1041
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:53,600
the late nineties to about two thousand
and six, any band that came out

1042
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:58,000
then, I probably interviewed Oh Wow, oh and Tapro who were playing with

1043
01:13:58,079 --> 01:14:00,840
It's funny. I interviewed them about
three or four times. I know,

1044
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,319
at least ahead of time. We
haven't played with them yet. I know

1045
01:14:03,359 --> 01:14:08,720
they're at least very nice guys.
Oh that's cool, that's cool, very

1046
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,039
good, very good. Uh wow, you got a lot going on.

1047
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:15,439
That's Uh, that's fantastic. But
uh really really glad to see. Like

1048
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:18,039
I said, I love the tunes. I think what you're doing is amazing

1049
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:23,319
and definitely want to thank you.
Definitely want to catch you. Uh catch

1050
01:14:23,359 --> 01:14:26,680
you live in the future and oh
by me, let us know, man,

1051
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,439
let us know, Yeah, definitely. By the way, what does

1052
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:33,079
the name mean? Is there any
meaning behind the name Inverter Now? A

1053
01:14:33,119 --> 01:14:36,000
lot of people ask that, and
uh, I could give you stories among

1054
01:14:36,079 --> 01:14:40,720
stories upon the song of the name. Uh. Anytime you're in a band,

1055
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:42,800
and you've been in band, like
to come up with a name.

1056
01:14:44,159 --> 01:14:46,159
It just sometimes comes down to something
that sounds cool. Yeah, I want

1057
01:14:46,239 --> 01:14:50,800
something that had a little bit of
a technical nerdy, almost industrial edge,

1058
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:55,439
you know, Inverter being like a
solar, you know, inverter, you

1059
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:59,800
know, in electronics, wiring stuff
like that. Yeah, and uh,

1060
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,359
it's just easy enough to remember.
And it was the only and I mean

1061
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,560
the only name that all four of
us didn't hate. Oh no kidding,

1062
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,079
Yeah, there were a lot.
I can't remember some of the names now,

1063
01:15:11,119 --> 01:15:13,239
there were so many. Actually just
two of us. It was Bill

1064
01:15:13,279 --> 01:15:15,640
and I excuse me because at the
time there really was no band, the

1065
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:16,920
first seed. He was just two
of us. Oh yeah, but him

1066
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,479
and I had completely different ideas and
song names, and it came down to

1067
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:25,239
Inverter. It's kind of that hard
continent edge. Yeah, you know,

1068
01:15:26,079 --> 01:15:32,159
it almost sounds German, sharp edged
word. Yeah, that's basically. I

1069
01:15:32,199 --> 01:15:38,159
wish there was some really I should
make up some cooler story, but that's

1070
01:15:38,199 --> 01:15:40,720
all it is. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's cool. I like

1071
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:44,479
it. It's uh, it's definitely
a good name. Well, Deeke,

1072
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,560
we're gonna let you go in a
minute, and I'm gonna play uh after

1073
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,760
we let you go, I'm gonna
play next Stone Cold Shocker, that's my

1074
01:15:53,279 --> 01:15:56,479
personal favorite of the ones that you
sent us. And then we'll we'll play

1075
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:58,800
a third track, of course,
at the end of the show today.

1076
01:15:59,119 --> 01:16:01,159
But yeah, yeah, not that. Oh sorry, go ahead, sorry

1077
01:16:02,119 --> 01:16:05,479
say not that bands released, so
to speak, singles anymore. But that's

1078
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:10,079
kind of the song we're gonna work
in a video for soon and all.

1079
01:16:10,279 --> 01:16:13,239
Its kind of like the single,
you know, if a label were to

1080
01:16:13,279 --> 01:16:16,359
send it out out the one song. Yeah, and it's the song that

1081
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:20,199
everybody when we played it live before
the album was out, everybody caught on

1082
01:16:20,359 --> 01:16:25,199
to that chorus really quickly. Yeah, that's how we kind of do like,

1083
01:16:25,399 --> 01:16:27,520
oh, this is a song.
Those are my attack dogs. Don't

1084
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,159
mind that. I was gonna say, are you all right? It sounded

1085
01:16:30,239 --> 01:16:35,520
like something sounds like something just tried
to devour you. Yeah. Yeah,

1086
01:16:36,159 --> 01:16:40,319
someone's arriving at the house and I
got a couple of dogs who are quite

1087
01:16:40,399 --> 01:16:43,000
loud. Oh I see, yeah, no worries. Yeah, I do

1088
01:16:43,159 --> 01:16:45,079
love this track. So so we're
gonna play this in a second and then,

1089
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,520
so do you want to just remind
us too about the show that you've

1090
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:53,920
got coming up? The show with
Taproot is that this weekend? Yeah,

1091
01:16:54,079 --> 01:16:57,600
it's tomorrow. Actually it's a Thursday
show. Taboot's playing at the Vault in

1092
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:05,359
New Bedford. Oh yeah, yeah, and Lydia's Castle and I think that

1093
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:10,560
same tour. The next night's coming
up to Walls in New Hampshire near you

1094
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,960
guys, but anyone who's in between
come down to the Vault one. Yeah,

1095
01:17:15,239 --> 01:17:16,600
we're going out. It's once.
It like weekday show, so it

1096
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,439
starts on the earlier side. I
think one up seven. We're like the

1097
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:24,479
maybe the second band on earlier,
but we'll be doing our thing and going

1098
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:28,359
full throttle. And the Vault in
the Bedford's an amazing club. It's it's

1099
01:17:28,399 --> 01:17:31,199
a former like back in the days
of fancy banks with the big ball from

1100
01:17:31,239 --> 01:17:35,520
marble floors and chandeliers. They took
a huge city bank and converted it into

1101
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:42,279
a club. Oh that's cool.
One of my favorite venues. We haven't

1102
01:17:42,279 --> 01:17:45,159
played in a while. And tap
Root's awesome. So yeah, that's tomorrow.

1103
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,840
I believe doors at seven and we're

01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:55,720
VIPs I believe who are participating in
the big show Saturday at Jewel Music Venue

1189
01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:00,399

01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,560

1200
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,520
to do so that we can here

I don't mean the farm is new,

1210
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:23,760
but two weeks in. Okay,
very that's fun. That's that's really cool.

1211
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,159
It's a different vibe from me other
than that coming from the club scene.

1212
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:30,159
Jay Fed says in the chat room, he must be so tired.

1213
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:39,560
I'm exhausted. You do work hard, you do absolutely absolutely well, absolutely

1214
01:28:40,239 --> 01:28:43,319
absolutely Hey, by the way,
Uh, you know how you see a

1215
01:28:43,399 --> 01:28:47,840
lot of you see a lot of
clickbait online, right, you know?

1216
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:55,239
You see like YouTube videos with misleading
titles, things like that. There's this

1217
01:28:55,399 --> 01:28:59,239
website, Radar Online. Are you
familiar with them? I think it's just

1218
01:28:59,359 --> 01:29:03,880
Radar Online. They post a lot
of articles, and I feel like they

1219
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:09,000
used to be a little more.
I don't know legit, but they they

1220
01:29:09,119 --> 01:29:13,960
post these clickbait articles that show up
every time I open up my uh my

1221
01:29:14,159 --> 01:29:18,640
Lenovo, my idea pad computer here, and I open up Chrome, I

1222
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:25,000
see MSN dot com pops up and
they've got these stories from Radar Online.

1223
01:29:25,079 --> 01:29:28,960
And today I open it up and
I see, I see this. This

1224
01:29:29,159 --> 01:29:33,439
is the headline. Vladimir Putin's death
is being celebrated by his former cronies.

1225
01:29:33,600 --> 01:29:38,600
Kremlin source says, Now, if
you don't know any better, any better,

1226
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:41,359
you would read that and think,
oh, my goodness, Vladimir Putin's

1227
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:45,159
dead. Except he's not. But
this is the kind of thing they publish

1228
01:29:45,279 --> 01:29:48,640
now, and it's just, uh, I wonder how many people fall for

1229
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:53,720
this, because you know, people
believe a lot of things true, but

1230
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:57,720
this is what. So this is
the article here from Radar Online. It

1231
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:01,960
says a Kremlin source claimed that the
death of Vladimir Putin was considered quote the

1232
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:08,880
beginning of something new and good unquote
by his top allies. Radar online dot

1233
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:14,199
com has learned telegram channel General SVR, which is believed to be run by

1234
01:30:14,279 --> 01:30:18,319
a Kremlin insider, alleged in a
previous post that Putin, seventy one,

1235
01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:25,319
died last week at his residence after
suffering a heart attack. The telegram channel

1236
01:30:25,359 --> 01:30:30,439
has closely followed Putin's rumored terminal illnesses
within the last two weeks. The channel

1237
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:33,279
has claimed that Putin was in his
final days and his top cronies were organizing

1238
01:30:33,359 --> 01:30:40,760
a succession plan amid his imminent death. I inadvertently said secession. I must

1239
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:45,399
be I must have Dave Ridley disease
succession plan. The channel's recent claims force

1240
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:50,279
putin a spokesperson, Dmitri Peskov,
to not only denounce the allegations, but

1241
01:30:50,399 --> 01:30:56,439
acknowledge rumors about the despot's death.
I'm sorry his health. While Peskov branded

1242
01:30:56,479 --> 01:31:01,520
the channel's claims as end quote absurd
information unquote, the same insider has now

1243
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:11,920
alleged that allies like Peskov are optimistic
about Putin's death, I would be the

1244
01:31:12,359 --> 01:31:16,800
General SVR account posted quote. Those
around the president are no longer very worried

1245
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:20,840
and even consider Putin's death to be
the beginning of something new and good.

1246
01:31:21,079 --> 01:31:27,239
Many are tired of the constantly prevailing
theme of war and sanctions and started talking

1247
01:31:27,239 --> 01:31:31,680
about the possibility of peace negotiations,
but of course on favorable terms, which

1248
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:38,000
they cannot yet clearly formulate. In
any case, the movement began and the

1249
01:31:38,039 --> 01:31:44,720
big political season began. Unquote.
The same source previously claimed that Putin's remains

1250
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:48,880
it's just funny because it's it's it's
it's all made up. But this is

1251
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:56,000
reported as regular telegram chow. Yeah. Yeah. The same source previously claimed

1252
01:31:56,079 --> 01:32:00,960
that Putin's remains were being closely guarded
and remained at the residents where he allegedly

1253
01:32:01,159 --> 01:32:05,960
died. In addition to reporting on
Putin's health, General LESVR also accused the

1254
01:32:06,079 --> 01:32:12,439
Kremlin of using body doubles in the
Russian president's place. The understudy was even

1255
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,119
said to have carried out official business
and held phone calls with global leaders.

1256
01:32:16,359 --> 01:32:21,439
It's right out of a movie.
After Putin allegedly had to be resuscitated after

1257
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:29,159
suffering a heart attack, His cronies
reportedly formed a nightly round table nightly with

1258
01:32:29,279 --> 01:32:36,000
a k to discuss and select a
successor. Options for the future leader of

1259
01:32:36,079 --> 01:32:42,239
Russia were reportedly narrowed down to a
handful of men, including Chechen leader Ramzen

1260
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,600
Katariov. I don't know if I'm
saying that correctly. Russia's Secretary of Security

1261
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:55,760
Council Nikolai Patrushev. Patrushev is believed
to be the current official calling the shots

1262
01:32:55,800 --> 01:33:00,319
in the wake of Putin's rumored death. While Russia has repeatedly denied that Putin

1263
01:33:00,359 --> 01:33:04,319
is suffering any ailments, several of
his upcoming appearances were abruptly canceled, adding

1264
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:12,399
to mystery surrounding the Telegram Channel's claims. I'm assuming they just uh well,

1265
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,920
I don't know if there's any mystery. I think that you know, they

1266
01:33:15,079 --> 01:33:18,039
just made made that up to get
clicks. But uh, yes, as

1267
01:33:18,119 --> 01:33:25,279
far as far as we know,
Putin is not dead. And listen,

1268
01:33:25,319 --> 01:33:30,159
I'm not one to root for anyone's
death, certainly, but uh, I

1269
01:33:30,239 --> 01:33:36,319
would not shed any tears for Vladimir
Putin, certainly. I don't. I

1270
01:33:36,399 --> 01:33:45,079
don't think any of us would one
other Uh, just quick thing here because

1271
01:33:45,079 --> 01:33:47,199
we're running out of time. Let
me give the studio line one more time

1272
01:33:47,199 --> 01:33:50,319
if anyone wants to chime in on
anything. Uh, but time is short.

1273
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:55,239
Six O three two five six seven
is a studio line six three two

1274
01:33:55,319 --> 01:33:59,000

should tell you before we get into anything

01:33:59,039 --> 01:34:03,840
else. Uh, Our friend PAULI

Paul has in store for this Friday

1282
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:36,079
Facebook sometimes is uncooperative. DJ Reckless, It's all right, here we go.

1292
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,920
on Facebook. Paul mutes the Facebook

1293
01:35:23,039 --> 01:35:27,600
copyright. But but we do love
it when when people hang out with us

1294
01:35:28,359 --> 01:35:36,479
in the Facebook live chat. Speaking
of copyright, I heard R and B.

1295
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:40,720
That's all I heard. That's all
you heard. I've mentioned a bunch

1296
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:45,239
of things. I love R and
B. Oh good good. Have you

1297
01:35:45,359 --> 01:35:47,520
been following this with Spotify? You
know, we have a lot of musicians

1298
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:53,159
on the show who I'm sure I
stand by and always have. Why do

1299
01:35:53,239 --> 01:35:56,560
you say that, look what they're
doing right now? Ah? Yes,

1300
01:35:57,920 --> 01:36:02,920
Well I have something here from Forbes
If you don't know, Spotify's royalty model

1301
01:36:03,199 --> 01:36:06,920
tries to keep up with the rapid
rise of new music and apparently they're coming

1302
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:12,279
for your royalties, my friends,
if you are on Spotify, says here.

1303
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,640
Spotify will change its royalty payout model
by early next year to include a

1304
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:24,600
minimum threshold of streams for a song
to qualify for royalty payments. So if

1305
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:28,000
you're waiting to get that nickel from
Spotify, you might not be able to

1306
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:35,439
penalties for streaming fraud and restrictions on
royalty payments for short quote unquote noise tracks.

1307
01:36:36,079 --> 01:36:42,479
As first reported by Music Business Worldwide, these changes are indicative of tectonic

1308
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:45,239
shifts in the music industry today and
point the way to the future for streaming

1309
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:50,000
music services. These changes will arise
from one simple fact. The big streaming

1310
01:36:50,039 --> 01:36:55,119
platforms have made it easier than ever
for anyone to release music, and as

1311
01:36:55,199 --> 01:37:00,319
a result of that in various other
factors, the volume of music submit admitted

1312
01:37:00,399 --> 01:37:09,079
to Spotify and its competitors worldwide is
unimaginably high and accelerating. This is interesting.

1313
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:15,399
At this writing, more than one
hundred twenty thousand new tracks are uploaded

1314
01:37:15,399 --> 01:37:20,199
to streaming services every day. To
put that number in perspective, the total

1315
01:37:20,279 --> 01:37:25,760
number of albums released per year in
the nineteen eighties, during the era of

1316
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:31,239
CDs and cassettes was a few thousand. That's three orders of magnitude less than

1317
01:37:31,359 --> 01:37:35,960
today. The number is only going
to grow faster. For example, generative

1318
01:37:36,119 --> 01:37:42,239
AI represents the latest in a series
of technology driven inflection points that have driven

1319
01:37:42,279 --> 01:37:46,520
the pace of released meat music upward, including four track home cassette recorders in

1320
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:50,640
the nineteen eighties and B three file
sharing in the nineteen nineties, and independent

1321
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:58,159
digital distributors such as tunecore starting in
the two thousands. Generative AI platforms can

1322
01:37:58,239 --> 01:38:04,720
churn out songs at a daggering rate. Music AI startup Mubert announced that its

1323
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:12,479
library of AI generated tracks included fifty
six million that were generated by its human

1324
01:38:12,680 --> 01:38:16,840
users. Another music AI company,
Boomy, claims that its users have generated

1325
01:38:17,159 --> 01:38:24,880
almost eighteen million songs. That's yeah
at this time of writing. In contrast,

1326
01:38:25,159 --> 01:38:30,840
Spotify's entire library is over one hundred
million tracks, while YouTube's is likely

1327
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:35,279
several times that amount. At the
current pace, these libraries should grow at

1328
01:38:35,279 --> 01:38:41,319
at least forty percent in the coming
year. It makes less and less sense

1329
01:38:41,399 --> 01:38:45,800
for streaming music services like Spotify to
keep on accepting this much music. The

1330
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:49,479
sheer glot makes it more difficult for
fans to discover new music that they'd like

1331
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:56,479
and for new artists to find fans. Though the audience for streaming music continues

1332
01:38:56,560 --> 01:39:00,960
to grow, the proportion of newly
released music that people listen to is shrinking.

1333
01:39:01,199 --> 01:39:08,960
Illuminate Data found in twenty twenty two
that the total consumption of catalog music

1334
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:15,640
catalog defined as at least eighteen months
old, grew by thirteen percent from twenty

1335
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,359
twenty one to twenty two, while
consumption of current releases stayed flat. It

1336
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:25,479
also found that forty two percent of
tracks on global streaming platforms had ten or

1337
01:39:25,560 --> 01:39:30,039
fewer streams Wow, while twenty four
percent had no streams at all. Now

1338
01:39:30,119 --> 01:39:33,720
that's interesting. So that means so
twenty four percent of that catalog is sitting

1339
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:41,199
there no one, literally no one
is listening to that's interesting. This situation

1340
01:39:41,359 --> 01:39:45,840
helps no one except big established stars. New artists chances of exposure are diminishing,

1341
01:39:46,199 --> 01:39:49,000
and the dream of getting a breakout
hit is becoming more and more like

1342
01:39:49,079 --> 01:39:54,199
the dream of winning the Powerball.
The major labels are complaining that they have

1343
01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:58,880
to compete with a glut of quote, lower quality, functional content that in

1344
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:03,960
some cases can bear early pass for
music royalty pies have to be sliced up

1345
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:09,640
in smaller and smaller micro increments,
leaving average musicians less and less able to

1346
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:15,079
earn reasonable incomes from streaming. For
the streaming services themselves, the cost of

1347
01:40:15,159 --> 01:40:18,920
storing and managing all that data mount
up, and the tasks of identifying rights

1348
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:25,399
holders and processing royalties continue to become
more onerous and expensive. And the catalogs

1349
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:30,520
that all of the streaming services maintain
in any given country are almost entirely identical.

1350
01:40:30,279 --> 01:40:34,720
The situation is unsustainable. After two
decades of accepting virtually all music submitted

1351
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:40,760
to them, streaming services will inevitably
become more selective about the content they accept.

1352
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:44,960
The big question, the question that
will define the next phase of music

1353
01:40:45,039 --> 01:40:48,319
delivery, is how different services are
bound to arrive at different answers. A

1354
01:40:48,399 --> 01:40:55,439
sum of Spotify's forthcoming changes address this
issue, even if obliquely, music I'm

1355
01:40:55,439 --> 01:41:00,359
sorry. Most obvious the Spotify's decision
not to pay any royalties on tracks that

1356
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:05,479
don't reach a minimum, as yet
unspecified threshold of plays, although Spotify claims

1357
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:10,039
this will only affect tracks to generate
less than five cents per month. Well,

1358
01:41:10,199 --> 01:41:13,479
okay, oh, I called it. I said they won't give you

1359
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:19,600
that nickel. The upshot will be
to demonetize tracks that are generated in bulk

1360
01:41:20,239 --> 01:41:25,960
by automated methods, as well as
those that are uploaded by non professional musicians.

1361
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,720
This move will discourage some entities from
uploading so much music and perhaps make

1362
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:34,600
inroads into that forty two percent of
tracks that have zero or very few plays

1363
01:41:35,279 --> 01:41:41,520
that are overhaul that are overheard.
For Spotify, it will lower Spotify's cost

1364
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:44,680
of data management, et cetera.
I'm going to skip down a little bit.

1365
01:41:45,039 --> 01:41:49,800
The major labels will also like Spotify's
increased focus on streaming fraud prevention.

1366
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:57,720
Streaming fraud encompasses several ways of generating
unearned royalties on streaming platforms. One technique

1367
01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:02,960
is to run botnets of machines out
of Greensboro, North Carolina that play the

1368
01:42:03,039 --> 01:42:08,520
same songs over and over. I
added the Greensboro part. Another is to

1369
01:42:09,079 --> 01:42:14,720
use identity theft to generate false plays
under real users' names. Yet another is

1370
01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:18,479
to upload famous artists material as if
it's your own, whatever the technique.

1371
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:24,000
Spotify is tools for detecting streaming fraud
and intends to issue financial penalties against those

1372
01:42:24,039 --> 01:42:31,319
who engage in it. Kind of
skipping down a little bit here, but

1373
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:35,600
yeah, there's more to this article, but all of a sudden, you

1374
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:42,239
know, it's funny though, So
I didn't pre read that, and I

1375
01:42:43,199 --> 01:42:47,000
came into that subject with this idea
in my head. Oh, Spotify is

1376
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:50,560
looking to screw everybody over, as
if they don't already by barely paying anybody

1377
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:58,640
anything. But now it's like,
I'm starting to realize that this is this

1378
01:42:58,840 --> 01:43:01,039
is a legitimate problem. And I
have wondered about this, like, at

1379
01:43:01,119 --> 01:43:10,279
what point is there just too much
music? And now with AI generated music,

1380
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,840
I know YouTube has kind of dealt
with this in terms of I don't

1381
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:20,239
know if music specifically, but I
was reading recently about how there's YouTubers now

1382
01:43:20,319 --> 01:43:26,319
who are are creating these AI generated
videos and they'll create like like hundreds of

1383
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,720
them all at once and then just
upload them all at once to bulk up

1384
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,199
their channel. But YouTube is wise
to it, and if they see that,

1385
01:43:32,319 --> 01:43:35,680
they'll actually nuclear channel. They don't
want that. They don't want like

1386
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:40,640
poorly made you know, five minutes. You know, if they see like

1387
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:43,840
you're uploading, you know, two
hundred YouTube videos all at once and they're

1388
01:43:43,840 --> 01:43:46,399
all five minutes long, you know, and they all have cheap animation or

1389
01:43:46,439 --> 01:43:49,680
whatever. You know, then they'll
they'll actually delete your channel over that.

1390
01:43:49,800 --> 01:43:54,079
You could you could you could be
monetized in making money on YouTube and totally

1391
01:43:54,119 --> 01:43:59,039
screw yourself doing that. But it's
amazing to me too that people actually attempt

1392
01:43:59,159 --> 01:44:02,279
that kind of fraud with Spotify,
like uploading somebody else's music and like a

1393
01:44:02,319 --> 01:44:08,920
famous person's music and a remix,
which Spotify is super fucked. Sorry,

1394
01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:15,840
I mean I just you didn't quite
but yeah, Spotify is very very big,

1395
01:44:16,039 --> 01:44:19,199
like big against that. Yeah,
that's why you don't see DJs making

1396
01:44:19,239 --> 01:44:23,359
mixes on there. And you see
the one SoundCloud, right, Yeah,

1397
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:27,039
SoundCloud seems like the wild West when
it comes. There is a way to

1398
01:44:27,079 --> 01:44:31,479
get around a lot on SoundCloud.
Yeah, because uh, I see I

1399
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:36,560
see stuff on uh not really recently, I haven't looked, but in the

1400
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:40,800
past I've seen stuff on SoundCloud and
it's like, how do how do people

1401
01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,439
get away with this? Like they
like, you know this, this guy

1402
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:47,279
just takes a famous song and just
you know, throws a few bars of

1403
01:44:47,399 --> 01:44:51,319
his own, uh his own wrap
over part of it and calls it his

1404
01:44:51,399 --> 01:44:56,119
own. It's like, wow,
DJ is what you can do? Is

1405
01:44:57,119 --> 01:45:00,600
the first thirty seconds or what they
really listen to. So you can pa

1406
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,399
like a thirty second intro you can
do or you can speed it up by

1407
01:45:03,520 --> 01:45:08,239
half, like half a beat per
minute. Oh I've heard of doing that.

1408
01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:12,800
Yes, yes, so you can
do that or what I know a

1409
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:18,600
lot of like remixers do so they
don't get like someone doesn't steal their track

1410
01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:24,960
or whatever. They will put like
two minutes of just straight white noise over

1411
01:45:25,039 --> 01:45:32,079
it and then go into the remix
a interesting beating the system. Yep,

1412
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:38,000
well we are we are out of
time. We cannot beat time. Father

1413
01:45:38,199 --> 01:45:42,319
Time is undefeated. It's only five
fifty four. Yeah, but we got

1414
01:45:42,399 --> 01:45:45,680
to play another song. Sure we
get one more track from our great musical

1415
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:49,359

01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:59,119
remind everybody too a simple complex.
We'll be here tomorrow looking forward to that.

1418
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:01,520
