20
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:19,960
listening, so you're not supposed to
bikey, is this the longest relationship you've

21
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,879
been in, by the way,
Because if it is, I think I

22
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,080
might know why. Let me give
you a pro tip, my friend,

23
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,199
Because you are you are young man. Even though you're a former a WA

24
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,039
tag team champion, you're you are
young man. You're not supposed to say

25
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:39,159
uh in a with a cheerful voice
and a great big smile on your face.

26
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,639
My girlfriend's around vacation, so I
have a girlfriend free weekend. You're

27
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,280
supposed to Um, you're supposed to
be a little more somber than that.

28
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:59,039
But she's she's she's walking out and
Owen Eppen this weekend at the drag Less

29
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,599
So yeah, because of a job
so drag races. I don't think Governor

30
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,400
DeSantis would approve of that. Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. You

31
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:13,400
know. It's it's Pride month and
we're celebrating pride. I get very uh,

32
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,319
I get very confused. You know, I don't mean to seem defensive.

33
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,479
I mean as a sunch LGBTQ plus
ally, I don't mean to Uh.

34
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,159
Yes, I'm sorry. Drag races, that's something different, is very

35
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:25,639
good, very good. Well,
they do have uh I think it was

36
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:30,000
last weekend, they did have a
big drag show at our our wonderful sponsor,

37
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,479
the hop Knot. I think there's
one tomorrow night, right, is

38
00:03:31,479 --> 00:03:35,439
there one tomorrow night? Yeah?
They they're they're doing so much. This

39
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,240
is obviously a very busy month for
the hop Knot, our amazing sponsor.

40
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,439
By the way, I suggest you
get over there enjoy some delicious scourmet pretzels,

41
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,919
have an assortment of craft beer,
and they do have a lot of

42
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,960
events going on. And uh Kenny, of course, as he has explained

43
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,879
on the show, when he participates
in the drag shows, his character is

44
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,280
glam chowdah yep, so he has
a lot of fun with that. But

45
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,159
yeah, the hop Knot, they've
got Matt Litzinger is going to be playing

46
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:06,120
there tomorrow night. They have live
music every Saturday night, and they've got

47
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,680
a lot going on, and of
course Juneteenth is this month as well,

48
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:13,599
so I'm sure there will be another
big celebration for that. So lots going

49
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:17,279
on. But Kenny and his family
are wonderful, So please visit our wonderful

50
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:21,439
sponsor, the hop knot speaking of
wonderful, by the way, the song

51
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,639
that I played a couple of songs
today to open the show. I played

52
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:31,879
a Love and Understanding from the band
house Lights. We had. We had

53
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:35,480
Sam Beechard on the show a couple
of months ago, and I got to

54
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,279
hang out with Sam a bit today, actually virtually not in person, but

55
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,120
so that was nice. On the
zoom, I think that's what the kids

56
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,040
call it. They don't call it
zoom. They call it it does zoom

57
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,920
and thank you. Yes, I
was just making sure, but yes,

58
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:56,399
so that was very nice. But
I thought that I thought that's a great

59
00:04:56,439 --> 00:05:00,120
song for even though it's not about
that specifically necessarily, I thought it's a

60
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,399
good it's a good song for Pride
month. Uh, Love and Understanding by

61
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,519
um by house Lights. And then
I played a little Randy Rainbow as well.

62
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,040
I thought, also very appropriate for
a Pride month. Uh. That

63
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,879
song is simply called gay and it's
us it was something he created in response

64
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,720
to uh back when that's not a
new one, that's an older one.

65
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:27,639
Back when Governor Ronda Santis signed into
law in Florida the so called uh don't

66
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:30,920
say gay bill. I'd say so
called because it's not literally called they don't

67
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:36,319
say gay bill, but without well
there's a lot of controversy around that obviously,

68
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:41,759
so and uh, he's been here
campaigning. And but I don't think,

69
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,600
interestingly enough Texas Mike, when Governor
de Santis has been in New Hampshire

70
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:50,680
campaigning, I don't think he has
made a stop at the hopnot. I

71
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:57,439
know yesterday he was at Manchester Community
College. I know that because I know

72
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:02,160
and Andie Sylvie Andy Sylvia from Manchester
in klint covered it? Oh he did?

73
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,360
Okay? Yeah, uh do you
remember what he uh? Did he

74
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:09,879
cover it? Obviously? He covered
it in Manchester inklink. Did he also

75
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,480
because he calls into the morning show? Did he also talk about it on

76
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:15,959
the morning show? Do you know? Very very briefly? Oh, okay,

77
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,519
okay. I was just curious what
he had to say about it.

78
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:26,000
Him and Cale do the news two
different ways. So it's like, yeah,

79
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,920
you're trying to draw attension to the
website, which I totally understand.

80
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,000
Yeah. So it's like when when
Kale Wibdel cold in on Tuesday Wednesday,

81
00:06:34,399 --> 00:06:40,439
he gets more in depth into the
stories and talks about it while like,

82
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,199
wow, Andy like just says like
the head and wine, and then you

83
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,839
weird about it. Man. I
know, I know we're trying and draw

84
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,519
traffic to a website, but it's
yeah, yeah, sometimes for the news

85
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,759
you want to get a little bit
more in depth depth on it. Uh

86
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,399
huh uh huh. Yeah, so
you think that so you'd like to replace

87
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,519
it sounds like you're angling replace at
Manchester in Clint. It sounds like you're

88
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,560
angling for a job there. No, no, I'm I'm I'm all shut.

89
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:15,600
I'm just providing my critiques. I
understand. Yes, yes, critiques

90
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,439
well, very good, very good, And that is your right as an

91
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,959
American. You have a First Amendment
right to speak your mind and to critique.

92
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,079
Uh well, speaking of which,
by the way, critiquing and uh

93
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,680
we do have. Of course.
It is Friday, which means today coming

94
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,160
up at the top of the hour, we have Eric Pilcher's classic film review

95
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:39,240
and uh this week Eric has chosen
a film that I have not seen I've

96
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:44,360
always I feel like I've been hearing
about it and heard dialogue quoted from it

97
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,600
my whole life, but I've never
actually seen the movie. I need to

98
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:50,720
see it. Uh and uh it
is Rebel without a Cause. Sorrying James

99
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,439
Dean and I remember too growing up, my dad would talk about the film

100
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:59,160
too. He's a big James Dean
fan. James Dean one of those guys

101
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:07,319
who you know, there are two
people who actually predicted their own untimely demise

102
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:11,439
at a young age. They just
kind of knew. It's very weird.

103
00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:13,839
James Zane was one of them.
Now, granted he lived kind of a

104
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,000
dangerous life, you know, live
fast, die young, as they say,

105
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:22,680
so I guess it's not all that
surprising. But yeah, James Zane,

106
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,279
he remember my dad telling me this
about him, that he had always

107
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,079
predicted that he would die young.
And the other one is and I always

108
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,399
forget. I always get it mixed
up. Which one's Ronnie and which one's

109
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:37,960
Johnny. I think I think Johnny
was the original one, the singer of

110
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,519
Leonard skinnerd who, of course they
went down in that plane crash and most

111
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:48,480
of the band perished in that plane
crash. But van Zandt, according to

112
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,879
his father, Van Zant always said
that he knew two things. He would

113
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:58,000
never see thirty and he would die
with his boots on. He just knew

114
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,000
and uh, and sure enough that's
exactly what happened to him. Very very

115
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,799
odd. But but who knows,
I mean, as his dad might be.

116
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,600
You know, he might have kind
of embellished something too, just to

117
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:15,320
you know, perpetuate the legend.
But now it's it's interesting. But but

118
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:18,080
yeah, James Dean died young and
uh. But so you know, I

119
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,799
had he stuck around, he probably
would have had an expansive film career because

120
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:26,799
people always rave about him in Rebel
without a Cause. And of course,

121
00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,200
as is often the case, hearing
Eric's review does make me want to see

122
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,000
the film sou so that will be
coming up today at around five pm.

123
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,639
As we cross into the second hour, numerow dose of Matt Connerton unleashed,

124
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,720
very popular weekly segment on the show
and a great segment for Friday afternoon here

125
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,639
on the on the program. Friday
is, of course, by the way,

126
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,480
my favorite day here at WMNH,
as you know, Mikey, because

127
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,720
what's my long day here but I
love it because not only do I do

128
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,559
this show, and then of course
at six pm, we're followed by a

129
00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:00,559
granted State of Mind hosted by Rob
as a Veto and Police Stone. But

130
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,960
then I'm back tonight at eight pm
for retro Spectrum Radio with Paul ec.

131
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,200
I have the honor and privilege of
being one of Paul's co hosts on that

132
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,679
show, along with our friends DJ
Steve and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry is

133
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:16,200
also one of our official co hosts
and one of our sponsors as well.

134
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,639
Queen City Cabinetry one of the great
sponsors here at WMNH, and so I

135
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,159
always look forward to Friday. It's
it's a lot of fun here. I've

136
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,879
no idea what the theme is tonight
for retro Spectrum Radio because Paul sometimes he

137
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:33,720
promotes it very early, but sometimes
he likes to surprise us. He likes

138
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,759
to keep us in suspense. Now
I do have to ask you, though,

139
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:41,320
Mikey, because you, over the
years have shown you've always got your

140
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,960
ear to the ground. I mean
you you just somehow know things others people

141
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,320
don't know. So I will ask
you, do you know the theme for

142
00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,159
tonight? I have no idea,
and I did ask, oh, yeah

143
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,279
this week, did you no?
No, no, not about the theme,

144
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:01,080
because I know we tried it.
We Paul and I try to um

145
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,440
schedule my appearances on his so ahead
of time. So yes, and he

146
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,679
said, um um he was working
when I texted him. And it's like

147
00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:16,799
he'll he'll let me know when he
wants me back on because I try try

148
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:22,000
king like, yes, I want
to be on the way, not all

149
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,240
the time, but I try to
try and keep it not really a set

150
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,559
schedule, but it's like whenever people

155
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,600
very important, Mike. You always
want to leave the people wanting more.

156
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,399
You want them to want more of
you. Yes, yes, very good,

Fat is in the chat room and says,

170
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:46,759
good afternoon everyone. Here's somebody new
in the chat room. Charmaine Davis

171
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:52,879
Elliott says, first time here for
me. Welcome, I plus Michael's law

172
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,159
who I have a very strong suspicion
is from Greensboro, North Carolina, which

173
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,600
reminds me and you are mentioned in
this comment, by the way, how

174
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,440
is it going? Of course,
you were recently hired. For those who

175
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,000
don't know Texas. Mike was recently
hired to be the manager and producer of

176
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:15,480
New Affirm of the Spark or New
Affirm of the Spark as UH policy believes

177
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,600
it is pronounced. So how is
that going? It's going good. I'm

178
00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:24,039
fascinated that they hired you because correct
me if I'm wrong, and if I

179
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,720
look, I haven't seen your resume. Uh, I'm not aware of you

180
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:33,440
having any artist management or music production
experience. I do know that, but

181
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:39,279
it's it's wolf of tied to twice
stuff sometimes and help up with people in

182
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:48,039
established a queers and um, yeah, I just watched my chinel. No,

183
00:13:48,159 --> 00:13:50,240
I think I know what you're what
you're going for, though, it's

184
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,440
good to be diversified stuff all the
time, and yes, and helping helping

185
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,440
new artists in the world promote sellers
and making popula. Yes, yes,

186
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,480
how is that going? Because I
just wonder, you know, it's I

187
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,879
feel like you've got a lot to
live up to because inevitably people are going

188
00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:13,360
to compare you to other people who've
been in your position, like say EASYG

189
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,080
for example. I think everyone knows
you know, Amanda McCarthy has found great

190
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,759
success and I mean who could who
could argue with the notion that EASYG is

191
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,679
sing really single handedly responsible for all
of her success. Uh do you feel

192
00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:30,159
that you'll be able to live up
to that same standard with your work with

193
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,679
a New Affirm of the Spark.
I try to main humble in my walk

194
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,639
and yes, justify walk in the
autists best interest. Yes. Wow,

195
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,759
very good, very exciting. Uh
let's see. Yes, I plus Michael's

196
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:46,919
loss as in the chat room.
Hello, hashtag Matt, good afternoon,

00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:58,120

heard you managing the singing group of New

Force of the Spark now? Which

205
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,519
Oh okay. I was going to
ask you if that was your suggestion,

206
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:31,759
if you had made that decision,
made that advanta completely news to me

207
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:33,200
because that would have been the first
thing I would have said if I if

208
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,879
I were there, manager, I
would have said, listen, guys,

209
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,600
uh new affirm of the spark.
It's a little long, it's a lot

210
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,919
to spit out. It's a mouthful. Can we lose a syllable somewhere and

211
00:15:45,039 --> 00:15:50,120
maybe we change a firm to uh
to uh force and become new force of

212
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:52,279
the spark. But uh, well, it's good, you know. I

213
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,519
mean, I'm sorry that you had
to find out this way, but it's

214
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,639
good that you know that now.
Yes, yes, um. I plus

215
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:04,559
Michael's law also said we say heehaw
that is a country song hashtag matt while

216
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,480
Heha actually is a television series,
which, of course you Texas micro familiar

217
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,759
with being from Texas. Yes,
uh yeah, I mean I'm sure somewhere

218
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:18,480
there's a song called heha. But
uh Jay fed uh uh says in the

219
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,279
chat room, the Morning Show will
be performing a hot oven on Texas Mike

00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:27,120

so you've got some time? Yes, all right, very good.

222
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:36,279
We'll actually be on my birthday,
so we'll see about that. Okay,

223
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,000
all right, I plus Michael's lass
as hashtag Texas Mike, we say congrats

224
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:45,720
to you from us I plus Michael's
law. Wow. Very nice. Now

225
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,600
what is this j F jay Fed
says in the chat room. Did I

226
00:16:48,679 --> 00:16:52,559
hear Texas Mike is getting married?
Not yet? Jay Fed? Are we

227
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,279
myself and Android are just hi abrated? Six months? Six months to give

228
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,240
us? So? Okay? So
and when I posted I said anniversary,

229
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,960
it's anniversary of a state. And
it's not like, oh no yet.

230
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,279
Marriage isn't the plans but not for
a while. Oh but it isn't the

231
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:18,279
plans hopefully. Oh interesting? Now
does she know you feel that way?

232
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,599
Does she know that you're interested in
eventually engaging in nuptials? Yes? He

233
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,480
does. Okay, well, very
good, very good. So you gotta

234
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,480
hang onto this one to make that
happen, yes, because sometimes it doesn't

235
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:33,799
seem to work out. I mean, you know, a man of your

236
00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:37,599
stature, you know you've got you've
got options, sir. I'm not trying

237
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,200
to remind you of that, because
I'm concerned that you're you know, you

238
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,599
don't want to rush into anything exactly. And you know, I'm just saying

239
00:17:48,079 --> 00:17:52,599
a big star like you. J
Fed is asking do they have a steak

240
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,319
and cheese pretzel. You might know
that better than I would text us Mike.

241
00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:57,759
I'm embarrassed to say I'm not sure, because you know they are a

242
00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:02,000
sponsor, of course, but I'm
very picky about the pretzels that I eat.

243
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:07,000
They do not. But that would
be a great suggestion for Petrol Sandwich.

244
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,839
Yes, and it wouldn't surprise me
if they do that in the future,

245
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,960
because they're always adding to the menu. In addition to the list of

246
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:17,559
craft beers. They're always adding to
the menu. Crystal, our friend from

247
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:19,920
the Great state of Illinois, joins
us and says, hello everyone. I

248
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:26,240
plus Michaels Law says, we say
hashtag Matt this singing group and Saturn will

249
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:30,440
be performing on June fourth, twenty
twenty three, on Sunday at Center City

250
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:37,279
Park downtown Greensboro. Is karaoke for
them? Hashtag Matt. We said it

251
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:45,880
is for them of nd Saturn,
all right, And I plus Michael Law

252
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,920
also says we are watching you from
Greensboro, North Carolina. Well, I

253
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:57,279
think we assumed that. Let's see, and I see you're in the chat

254
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:03,160
room. Of course, Jenny is
in the Chatmoman says Shalom peeps. By

255
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,160
the way, if you missed it, we did talk about it yesterday of

256
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,559
a Jenny as a brand new article
published in The Mighty at the Mighty dot

257
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:19,039
com, So please give that a
perusal um. Crystal says she likes Jafed's

258
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:25,119
suggestion. She says a Philly cheese
steak pretzel might be good also as a

259
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,359
variation on your idea. Yes,
yes, what's the thing with pretzels?

260
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,400
I mean you can really make up
a pretzel out of just about any anything.

261
00:19:33,519 --> 00:19:36,680
I like the pizza pretzel because pizza
is my favorite food, So pizza

262
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,920
pretzel. I mean, how can
you go wrong? Yep? I had

263
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:45,759
I had the spinach pretzel or the
spin That's that's how you can go wrong

264
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:49,759
spinach. But it's good for you, so you should eat it. But

265
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:53,960
the spinach is cooked right, Yeah, yeah, it's it's basically yeah,

266
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,759
spinach the yep I like. I
like rass spinach, but I don't like

267
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:03,319
it. I don't know what the
point is of cooking vegetables to me.

268
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:07,200
When you cook a vegetable, you
not only do you remove it's vitamins and

269
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,559
nutrients from it, so you don't
get all the nutrition that you would get

270
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:14,400
if it were raw, But you
also take a lot of the flavor out

271
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,599
too, like uh like. The
most egregious example to me is carrots,

272
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,559
you know, like, like who
looks at a carrot and says, you

273
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:27,599
know that that's a that's a crispy, delicious carrot right there, nice and

274
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,799
crunchy when you bite it into it. It's great. I need to take

275
00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:34,880
that carrot and uh, not only
remove all the nutrients from it, but

276
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,640
all the flavor as well, so
that I'm actually it's almost as though I'm

277
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,640
biting into water when I eat it. That to me is what a cooked

278
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:48,799
carrot is. I need to take
this delicious, crispy a vegetable and turn

279
00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:53,200
it into something soft and mushy and
completely devoid of any flavor. I don't

280
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,039
understand the point, but I I'm
sorry, I'm on a I get on

281
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:00,960
a soapbox about that. To me, there's nothing better than rove vegetables.

282
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Like Jenny makes these wonderful salads and
it's great. I mean, she can

283
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,720
put all the spinish she wants to
in the salad as long as it's not

284
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,200
cooked. Yeah yeah, yeah,
spinish and salad jo gleat. Oh yeah,

285
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:15,680
yeah, yes, I plus Michael's
Law also says, we say,

286
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:21,759
by the way, a pop singing
group of Archer Flight will be watching on

287
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:30,039
retro Spectrum Radio with Polyc on Facebook
live hashtag Matt we said, Michael Martineau,

288
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:33,920
we say new Force of the Spark
will be performing for the karaoke at

289
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:38,440
Center City Park, downtown Greensboro,
North Carolina. Wow, very good,

290
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:41,119
very good. Will you be there
for that? I mean you are their

291
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:48,279
manager. I'm walking our double shift
on Sunday, so I cannot make it.

292
00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:51,039
You're up here there down there.
I assume there's a lot of zoom

293
00:21:51,079 --> 00:21:56,279
meetings. Yes, yeah, yes. J Fed says, I like to

294
00:21:56,319 --> 00:22:00,000
saw take carrots and a stir fry
type dish. But why just eat the

295
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,720
carrot. Just enjoy the crunch,
the delicious rock crunch. There's something better

296
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:10,759
than just biting into a delicious rock
harrot. I mean, you can wash

297
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:14,240
it off first, you know,
sometimes sometimes they're kind of dirty. You

298
00:22:14,279 --> 00:22:15,799
know, you pull the carrot out
of the bag. You're like, oh,

299
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:18,480
I'm gonna run this under some water. I think you can do that.

300
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,480
But then just eat the carrot,
enjoy the carrot. Good for your

301
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,759
eyes, good source of carotene.
I believe that's what it's called, right,

302
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:29,440
carotene. Yes, Ja Fed says, we have a ton of spinach

303
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:32,759
growing good. Good. I hope
you don't cook it. I hope you

304
00:22:32,759 --> 00:22:34,279
just eat it raw. Here's what
you should do. This is what I

305
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:37,599
would suggest. You take a rock
harrot. I know I shouldn't be giving

306
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,039
culinary advice. I don't even cook. But you take a rock harrot,

307
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,200
right, and wrap it in some
raw spinache. So then it's like,

308
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,359
what'd you call that a spinach drop? Yeah? Yeah, and then you

309
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,559
just eat that. It'll be great. I'm kind of hungry for that now.

310
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:53,599
I want to try that. I
want to take some raw spinage,

311
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,920
wrap it, wrap it around a
carrot, and just eat that. I

312
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,319
think that would be wonderful and nice
and crispy, crunchy, you know,

313
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,960
be wonderful. I have all kinds
of wonderful ideas. I'm going to suggest

314
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,200
that to the hop Knot, I'm
gonna make a suggestion. I'm going to

315
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:14,200
suggest that they have a raw spinach
and carrot pretzel. What do you think

316
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:17,519
do you think that would work?
Do you think that would fly? Probably?

317
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:19,640
Not? Okay, So you don't
like my idea. All right,

318
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,200
I guess I won't suggest it.
I don't want to look foolish. I'velost

319
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,319
Michael's loss. As we say,
it's okay, Michael Martineau, they will

320
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,519
let you know from them. Is
new for ors, the spark almost at

321
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:37,000
new affirm I'm stuck in the past. Six three two five six seven is

322
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,960
a studio line if you'd like to
get in six zo three two five six

323
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,920
seven. By the way, I've
been in a I think that I,

324
00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:51,000
as well as many Americans, have
breathed in not only Americans, but people

325
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:56,839
in other countries as well, frankly, have breathed a collective sigh of relief

326
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:00,640
because apparently, I don't know if
you've been following this, Mikey, but

327
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:07,799
apparently we will not be going off
the cliff into a pit of economic global

328
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:14,079
oblivion, which is a big relief, I must say. And uh,

329
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,519
we might talk about that today a
bit, but we have a call.

330
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:21,599
Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed? Is this I managed? Gary?

331
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,160
Hey, Harry? What's up?
Um? When you eat carriage, you

332
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,119
know you can blanch them. You
don't have to cook them till they get

333
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,640
rubber. I don't even know what
that means. When you say blanche,

334
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,720
I think you in hot water for
a second. Yeah, the same with

335
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:42,279
the same with spinach. I'm learning
to eat spinach now. Yeah, my

336
00:24:42,279 --> 00:24:51,119
my my new diet a spinach to
do it. So yeah and yeah so

337
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,720
you can, yeah you can.
You can blanch them a little, they'll

338
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:56,160
stay nice and tight. Though I
didn't even know what that meant. When

339
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,480
I hear blanch, I think of
blanch from the Girls. Well you do,

340
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:04,920
you do the same thing when you
when you when you do? Uh?

341
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,079
Green beans, Jenny, Jenny would
know that. Jenny's a great cook.

342
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,640
Another another another thing that should not
be cooked. I love raw green

343
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,960
beans. When you cook them,
you just ruin them. In my opinion,

344
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,720
why do that? Why? Why
ruined food? I just enjoy it

345
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,279
and it's natural state, I know. But uh, yeah, today,

346
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:33,240
I just wanted to promote my friend's
band tonight. He's over at the show

347
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,079
skiing Nostalgia Lane at nine o'clock.
Oh okay, yeah, I think I'm

348
00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:44,319
a because I know some of the
members. Tyler Viggerio, he used to

349
00:25:44,319 --> 00:25:47,319
be one of my neighbors, and
uh, he's with this band. They

350
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:53,480
played, they played covers and you're
really really good. Um Rob Rob had

351
00:25:53,519 --> 00:26:00,799
him on his his report uh Thursday
for bands around. Yeah, they're playing

352
00:26:00,839 --> 00:26:04,759
tonight at nine o'clock at Shafskin.
They're really really good. They play at

353
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:08,319
the Goat sometimes too. But I'm
just promoting. I'm kind of like they're

354
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:12,680
promoting them. They're really really good. And Tyler. Tyler doesn't stuck a

355
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:18,839
little too. He's been on with
Rob as a veto a couple of times.

356
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,559
So okay, okay, do they
have do they I just want to

357
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:27,759
prote the city. Go go see
him at the Shakin and they're they're really

358
00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:33,519
good. They're they're a tight band. They play really well. So yes,

359
00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:40,839
uh yeah and uh yeah. So
uh I had a I had to

360
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:49,359
do a u a thing at my
with my trainer yesterday and uh uh I

361
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:55,640
lost six more pounds and uh wow, five inches off my off my waist.

362
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,680
Oh congratulations, that's excellent, Garry. So I yeah, and my

363
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,839
my blood pressure was going down.
Yeah, so I was doing really well.

364
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,920
So I just wanted to Yeah,
but I just wanted to shut out

365
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,400
the band Nostage Layne. I was
supposed to go, but unfortunately I have

366
00:27:11,519 --> 00:27:15,200
muscle spass, which from working out
yesterday and my my shoulder. Oh really

367
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:22,119
I started, uh yeah, I
started doing um weightlifting, um just you

368
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,599
know, doing bicep curls, and
I thought I'd be smart and jack it

369
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,039
up a little a little more weight. So yeah, so I gotta like

370
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,559
muscle spasms. Let you get old. Things happen like that. You know

371
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:38,200
you don't know that, Maddie.
You're very young, you know, spry

372
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:45,480
Man, thank you? Yes,
um, yeah, I mean well,

373
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,559
I mean truth be told. I
mean, anyone can have muscle spasms if

374
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:52,759
you haven't uh you know, if
you're if you're working out, if you

375
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,559
if you haven't lifted weights. Some
people haven't lifted weights ever and they tried

376
00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:02,400
for the first time and they have
with uh when I played hockey. So

377
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,880
ah, but maybe maybe I should
take an ice bath like Jet does.

378
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,680
That would be really good. I
think what you should do is you should

379
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,880
head up to Vermont and get into
the ice bath with Jay. That would

380
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,640
be excellent. But I don't Yeah, I don't have transportation. So yeah,

381
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:22,599
I could eat some of the spinach, that's right, That's right.

382
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,440
Maybe you can sit in the ice
bath together and enjoy some delicious raw bath

383
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,079
and Spinach would be excellent. Ice
bath and Spinach would be a great name

384
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,000
for a great name for a band. I'm gonna start a band called that.

385
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,359
Hey, yes, then you'll be
in it with me, right from

386
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,240
right from Vermont. That's right,
yeah, I spec yeah, yeah,

387
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:47,440
I spat spinach. Yes, that's
gonna be great. We're gonna we're all

388
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,559
gonna be ye. That could be
a blue grass band. It could be

389
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,799
it could be all kinds of things. Really, I mean, when you've

390
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:56,640
got to oh yeah, all right, well I'll let you go have her

391
00:28:56,799 --> 00:28:59,759
wonderful weekend, all right, Karen. Today it's been really awesome, like

392
00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:06,640
I said, and things are going
really well mindfully and good good so but

393
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,839
as you wish, will send Jenny
my love and say hie, Tom Melanie

394
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,599
have a good weekend with Jay fed
and you know, all right, but

395
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:19,640
you too, Matt, you have
a great weekend, all right? How

396
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720
much I love you. We love
you, Gary, We appreciate it,

397
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:26,160
Thank you, my friend. Right
you take care right, all right,

398
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:29,039
you too? Bye bye? All
right, there we go always nice here

399
00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:32,400
from Gary and uh yeah, it
sounds like he's doing great both mentally and

400
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,920
physically, doing much better, which
is awesome. Jenny in the chat room

401
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,839
says, way to go, Gary, and Jay Fed says, great job.

402
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:44,200
Gary. Yeah, he's lost quite
a bit of weight and uh,

403
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,400
you know, and and obviously too, I mean that helps him with you

404
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,759
know, he's he's talked about talked
about mental health issues too, which so

405
00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:55,279
many of us struggle with, including
myself, and he's he's talked about how

406
00:29:55,440 --> 00:30:00,880
uh, you know, the it
kind of becomes a it can become a

407
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,160
very positive cycle if you you know, because the more you exercise and the

408
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,440
more you're committed to your physical health, the better you'll tend to feel mentally,

409
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,200
And of course the better you feel
mentally, the more you're motivated to

410
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:15,119
exercise, and it becomes, uh, you know, you can really get

411
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,079
into a into a good, a
good cycle there. So, and of

412
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:22,799
course the inverse is also true.
You can also get into a very bad

413
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:26,079
cycle if you're not careful so or
if you just haven't figured out the correct

414
00:30:26,279 --> 00:30:30,559
if you don't have the skill set
yet, haven't developed the skill set to

415
00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:36,000
to deal with that. And believe
me, I understand that. Um so,

416
00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:40,240
but Gary sounds like he's gotten into
a very positive cycle with that,

417
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:44,640
both mentally and physically, which is
very important. And I daresay we're all

418
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,440
proud of him, even you Texas
smile. Yes, yes, yes,

419
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,359
it's hard to impress you, after
all, you're a former AWA tag team

420
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,960
champion with black Jack Mulligan. Yes, if you'd like to get in with

421
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,279
a call, the studio line is
open six zo three two five h six

422
00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:07,279
O seven six zho three two five
oz six O seven. Uh, let's

423
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:10,960
see, We've got a few more
Facebook Live comments and then we're going to

424
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,279
uh, we'll get into some stuff. But I thought I saw j Fed

425
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,880
said something about putting putting carrots.
Oh he said, I put rack carrots

426
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:25,720
on pizza because I only put delicious
ingredients. Um, yeah, that actually

427
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:27,880
doesn't sound terrible rock carrots on a
pizza. I mean, I wouldn't like

428
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,680
sick a whole carrot on there,
but bits of carrot on the pizza.

429
00:31:32,839 --> 00:31:34,480
I don't know that that might be
all right, That might be all right.

430
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:38,759
I think he was expecting me to
say, what, why would you

431
00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:41,759
do that? But no, that
might be all right. You know my

432
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,240
rule Texas, Mike would because because
people ask me all the time, I

433
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:48,559
don't know. It's like they think. I think people just assume I'm an

434
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:52,319
authority on this just because pizza happens
to be my favorite food. But what

435
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:53,759
I always telling people is, if
you're trying to figure out what toppings are

436
00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:57,599
appropriate for a pizza, here's all
you have to remember. If you want

437
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:02,160
your pizza to remain delin you should
only put delicious toppings on the pizza.

438
00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:07,799
Avoid any toppings that are disgusting.
Because if you put disgusting toppings on the

439
00:32:07,799 --> 00:32:12,039
pizza, your pizza will become disgusting. And that's that's really all you need

440
00:32:12,079 --> 00:32:15,160
to uh, all you need to
remember. And we have a call.

441
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,920
Hi. Welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed. Who is this? Good afternoon,

442
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:23,599
Matt, Well, good afternoon to
you. Eric Pilcher from Cedar Rapids,

443
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Iowa. Very hot Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. It's hot here too, I

444
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,880
think it. I think it got
up to ninety six degrees today. You

445
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:40,720
know what would help cool off the
heat. I can't even imagine opening up

446
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:49,000
a fire hydrant and running past it. Eric Tilchure, ice cream bars?

447
00:32:49,279 --> 00:32:53,759
Oh yeah, you still want your
ice cream bars? Yeah? Well,

448
00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:58,240
the you know I Texas. Mike
doesn't know it yet. But in addition

449
00:32:58,319 --> 00:33:02,039
to managing and producing new Force of
the Spark. I've also put him in

450
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:08,480
charge of merchandising. He's the new
merchandising director here on Matt Connerton Unleashed.

451
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:14,519
So I'll let you guys hash that
out. Mikey uh. Now that you

452
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:17,880
know about your new position, what
can you tell us about Eric's ice cream

453
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,519
bars? Are those forthcoming? Yes, yes, I'll be I'll be working

454
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:28,119
on park design tonight and oh fantastic, so and what on some concept got

455
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:30,000
Oh that's a big relief. That's
a big relief. I'm glad I was

456
00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:32,839
able to kind of push him off
onto you. I mean, I'm glad

457
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,000
I was able to U you were
able to that I was able to delegate

458
00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:38,960
him. Well, what I meant
to say is I'm sorry. What I

459
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:43,000
meant to say is I was trying
to you know, now that he has

460
00:33:43,039 --> 00:33:46,119
this new position, I'm trying to
delegate responsibility. I need to be better

461
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:52,440
at delegating. And you know he
is the merchandising manager now or merchandising director

462
00:33:52,559 --> 00:33:58,839
or something. He's the merchandise guy. Be oh okay, well, ye

463
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,920
know, today is your lucky day. It appears that one of my offers

464
00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:07,280
is no longer valid? What does
that mean? What do you mean?

465
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,800
Last time I called in, I
said I could go elsewhere, And it

466
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:20,239
appears that one of those outlets is
no longer an option for me. What

467
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,679
outlet it was? That it was
with a certain jealous one in New York.

468
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:34,039
Oh right, that door is closed. Yeah. I woke up this

469
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:40,760
morning to a YouTube video that basically
would lead me to believe anyway, and

470
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:49,639
I could be a bit presumptuous here
that there is absolutely no interest. Are

471
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:52,119
you sure? Because I thought I
thought there was a guy named Eric Pincher

472
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:58,039
who has been blackballed, And that's
not your name. Maybe I don't,

473
00:34:58,079 --> 00:35:02,239
I don't know. But it said
the title was Eric, I Hope you

474
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:08,000
die. Yeah. Yeah, so
that sounds like, yeah, that title.

475
00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:13,199
I do know the YouTube video you're
referring to. I did listen to

476
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,559
it. I say listen because I
don't think there was any picture. But

477
00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:22,440
yes, yeah, that was very
bizarre to have a video with no video.

478
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:27,760
Yes, yes, and listen.
I have my share of haters,

479
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,239
but as far as I know,
no one's ever actually wished death upon me,

480
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:36,360
at least I certainly hope not so. But it does sound like that

481
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,199
individual is no longer interested in working
with you. Now, let me ask

482
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:44,679
you this. Have you ever considered, and not that I want to lose

483
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,079
your services here on the show,
but have you ever considered approaching the Daily

484
00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:57,280
Wire get one of those fat fifty
million dollar contracts? You know? I

485
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:02,599
here's an ideal with that. Yes, the Ben Shapiro creeps me out?

486
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:07,960
Does he? The guy gives me
the hebgbs? Does he really for real?

487
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:14,840
Yes? He really does. He
looks like a real life Bond villain.

488
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:21,119
He talks like one too. You
know what's interesting about you know,

489
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:25,000
it's interesting about Ben Shapiro. People
always talk about how he speaks very fast.

490
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:30,320
But if you I'm I'm fascinated by
linguistics, I notice something so,

491
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:35,679
but it's kind of an illusion if
you really pay attention to him. Yeah,

492
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:39,840
it's not that he speaks fast.
He actually I think he communicates the

493
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:46,000
same the same number of words as
as anyone else does within a certain time

494
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:51,239
period. But he'll he'll he'll speak
a sentence very quickly, but then he'll

495
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:57,880
pause before he speaks the next sentence. So he might say something like this,

496
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,480
and it sounds like he's speaking very
quickly, but then there's a pause

497
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,320
and the and the and the pause
before the next sentence, which he will

498
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,440
also say at a very fast speed. If you factor in the pause,

499
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:14,239
it kind of evens out to where, No, he actually doesn't speak faster

500
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,199
than than the average person. He
just he creates the illusion of that by

501
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:23,920
speaking individual sentences very quickly. And
and uh hopes you don't notice that he

502
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,239
actually sometimes takes a very long pause
between those very quickly spoken sentences. Do

503
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:37,840
you know what I mean? Yeah, it's it's bizarre and really creepy.

504
00:37:37,079 --> 00:37:44,079
Yes, well, I personally,
I've never been freaked out right right,

505
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,360
Well, you wouldn't necessarily have to
work directly with him, you know,

506
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,960
Jeremy Boring would be the guy who
would be offering you the contract, I

507
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,840
assume. And uh, but you'd
probably have to meet Ben Shapiro at some

508
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,840
point. Yeah, I don't think
I'm about that life. You know,

509
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:02,679
one else is weird about Ben Shapiro. But it's not really weird about him,

510
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,639
but it's it's everyone else's perceptions of
him. Everyone talks about him like

511
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:12,159
he's a little guy, but if
you see him standing next to other people,

512
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,239
he's like almost six feet tall.
But people always talk about him like

513
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,920
he's short, and I don't know
what that is or what that's about or

514
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,239
where that started. But I saw
a picture of him one standing next to

515
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,079
Joe Rogan, and of course Joe
Rogan is a little guy, but Shapiro

516
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:35,960
just towered over him. Towered.
Yeah. Ben's a complex character, and

517
00:38:36,039 --> 00:38:39,880
I don't want to deal with that, right, right, I understand.

518
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,320
Yeah, So, if there's going
to be a transition, I wanted to

519
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,280
be as seamless as possible. Well, there are some movies that I don't

520
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,239
think the Daily Wire would allow me
to review. I think I'm quite sure

521
00:38:54,320 --> 00:39:00,039
that's true. Yes, that would
be a problem, I'm sure because they

522
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:07,159
wouldn't have allowed me to do the
Manchurian candidate. Um, well, they

523
00:39:07,199 --> 00:39:10,719
might have allowed you to, as
long as you worked to have like a

524
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,320
democratic spin on it, right,
right, I would have had to infer

525
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:21,320
things that, right, I'm not
comfortable inferring here. What they would have

526
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,239
wanted you to do is to I
can actually predict what they would have wanted

527
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,400
you to do, and this is
based on a book that was given to

528
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,719
me by my dad years ago.
They would have wanted you to say something

529
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:39,159
about how the Manchurian candidate was the
inspiration for Barack Obama's entire campaign and persona.

530
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,840
That's what they would want you to
do. I'm not even kidding.

531
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:45,800
That's that's literally what they would want
you to do, because that's what they

532
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:51,960
always used to say about Obama,
that he was the Manchurian candidate. Oh

533
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:58,039
yeah, I can't do that.
Yeah, yeah, that would be strange.

534
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,760
But yeah, so no, And
wait a minute, since Texas Mike

535
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:08,320
is the director of merchandising, Yes, I don't know if you realize this

536
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:15,480
or not, but ranked in like
the five thousands is the hashtag get Erica

537
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:21,880
T shirt. Ah, yes,
Texas Mike, that's that's your responsibility.

538
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:28,199
Now, sir Eric needs a shirt. Um, I'll get one to you

539
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,400
asap. Oh asap? Very nice? Wow? Look at that, Like

540
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:40,000
I would like a WMNH T shirt. Who and depending on the cut,

541
00:40:40,039 --> 00:40:44,440
I can wear XCEL or two XL. You'll have to check with me.

542
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,960
Uh oh, I'll walk on over
the weekend and get back to you.

543
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Wow, look at it. Now, This is why I look at this.

544
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,360
This, This is why I like
Texas Mike. This is why I

545
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,679
made him go get her. He's
a action I know. This is why

546
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,039
I have made him a part of
my organization and why he is now the

547
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:09,159
official merchandising director for the show.
This is why he takes the bull by

548
00:41:09,199 --> 00:41:13,760
the horns and he knows how to
do that because he's from Texas. They

549
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:19,159
have a lot of bulls and a
former and a former a WA Tech Team

550
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,079
champion. Yes, yes, he
has all the credentials one could need.

551
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:30,239
Absolutely yes, So yeah, I'm
very pleased with how this is what I

552
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,000
am too, because now it's somebody
else's problem. I mean, now that

553
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,440
that came out wrong, now it's
now I have some help in that department,

554
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:45,320
specifically merchandising. You know what,
I'm going to pretend I didn't hear

555
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,920
that, right, right, Well, just pretend you heard the second part

556
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,000
but not the first. It's like
you should have pretended that I didn't call

557
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:55,639
you John well, yes, well
I was very hurt by that. I

558
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,480
was. I mean, I just
felt like, are far worse people I

559
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:07,079
could call you, well, Sean, Like I could have called you Baltazar

560
00:42:08,119 --> 00:42:15,800
right right, or I could have
called you Pebbles. Or this is gonna

561
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:21,239
pain my heart to even put you
in with this piece of day, gridated

562
00:42:21,519 --> 00:42:25,360
pond scum. I could have called
you the jealous one. That would be

563
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,000
very that would have been very,
very hurtful, and I appreciate you not

564
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:34,000
doing that. That's that's true.
That's true. I'm sorry if I overreacted.

565
00:42:34,199 --> 00:42:37,280
I was just in the moment.
I was so stunned. I was

566
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:44,280
just I was just stunned. Well, I'm sorry you were stunned. I

567
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,440
mean, imagine how stunned I was
when I'm scrolling through Facebook and I'm like,

568
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,159
oh, Texas, Mike, Cat's
the best job. I told you

569
00:42:52,159 --> 00:43:00,440
you're on the list. I'm behind
Melanie's dirty limericks. Yeah, yeah,

570
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,440
you're like number twenty two on the
list of best of us. I'm going

571
00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:07,320
to be a thirteen two days ago. I know, I know, and

572
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,719
I'm sorry. But what happened is, so I was on the you know,

573
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,760
I have the I have a list
in my notebook. Here, Mike,

574
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,639
work on this, get this figured
out, get me into at least

575
00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:21,760
the top ten here. Well,
it's not merchandising, but I so,

576
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,679
I I have my list in my
notebook, but then I was looking at

577
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:29,440
a separate list that I have on
my computer. Uh, in Google docs

578
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,119
and I was like, oh no, I never took some of those and

579
00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:36,000
wrote them on the list in my
notebook, so I had to add those.

580
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,000
So that knocked you down a bit
on the list. So I apologize.

581
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:45,239
You know, I'm making Texas Mike
a direct a person in my organization.

582
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:50,679
He's my director of publicity. Texas
Mike, get this figured out?

583
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,599
Go top ten. Wow. Uh, I don't know if he has time

584
00:43:53,639 --> 00:43:57,199
for all these jobs. I mean, he's talking about getting married soon.

585
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,239
He's got he's got a lot on
his plate. Don't get married, Texas

586
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:07,119
Mike, so grossly overrated? Oh
my goodness. Wow. Well all right,

587
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,199
Uh no, no, no,
no marriage for you, Texas Mike.

588
00:44:10,199 --> 00:44:13,800
That's all right. It's just as
well. That's just my advice.

589
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,320
You've got a lot of work to
do. Saying there's an old saying don't

590
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:22,679
buy the cow. No. Oh
no, oh god, no, that's

591
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,960
you don't want to You really don't
want to say that to a Texan because

592
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:31,320
you know they'll they'll have flashbacks.
I'm just letting you know, Texas Mike,

593
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:37,559
marriage grossly overrated. Wow. Then
through once tried it, didn't like

594
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:44,320
it. Marriage is an institution every
man should try at least twice. Well

595
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,400
wait a minute, how many times
have you been married once? Then?

596
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:52,480
Why? But if if it's something
every man should try at least twice,

597
00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:57,159
then it sounds like you're open and
getting married again. There's always like the

598
00:44:57,159 --> 00:45:00,000
way I see it is, there's
someone for everybody. So if I find

599
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:06,119
that person who you know, can
deal with me, which is which is

600
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:12,760
the easiest task you could do in
life? Honestly it would be their privilege.

601
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,920
Oh oh my wow. Okay,
I mean I'm a rising star.

602
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:22,199
Well, that is true, that
is undeniable. Dare I say I might

603
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:28,039
be bigger than Howard? Well,
it takes a certain level of delusion to

604
00:45:28,079 --> 00:45:30,119
believe that. But you could be. You could be, you could be

605
00:45:30,119 --> 00:45:37,639
the next Howard Stern. I mean, not a not as slimy in uh

606
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:45,679
potty mouse in more knowledgeable, but
certainly well I'm as a fan of Howard,

607
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,519
I would not use those adjectives myself, but uh, that's all right.

608
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,119
But yes, he was a fan
and then things just kind of turned

609
00:45:55,159 --> 00:45:58,400
for me. No, well,
yeah, a lot of people feel that

610
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,880
way. A lot of people feel
that way. Um, but you know,

611
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,000
but he's he's changed over the years. I mean, he's you know,

612
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:06,119
he's almost seventy years old. The
show's not going to be what it

613
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:10,599
was ten years ago. Uh but
uh but but someday he will retire and

614
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,079
perhaps you shall be the one to
fill that vacuum. You know. Uh

615
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:20,480
serious XM Satellite Radio. They do
have a problem in that he is going

616
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:24,239
to retire someday and I don't know, and in all like, in all

617
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,079
seriousness, like I'm not even kidding, they are going to have to figure

618
00:46:28,079 --> 00:46:30,920
out what to do. And they're
already having to compete with the Internet,

619
00:46:31,519 --> 00:46:36,519
and which I don't know if they
saw that coming back when satellite radio was

620
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:42,199
still being developed, but um,
you know, with streaming and podcasting and

621
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,039
so forth. But um, they
they are going to need they're going to

622
00:46:45,079 --> 00:46:50,400
need a big star to fill that
void left by Howard some day when he

623
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:57,280
does, in fact decide to go
and uh retire. Yeah, it's gonna

624
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,639
be very interesting because I would say
they're next if I had to guess,

625
00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:07,079
I don't have the information in front
of me, their next highest ratings person

626
00:47:07,159 --> 00:47:14,239
would probably be Chris mad Dog Russo. I think you're probably right. Yeah,

627
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:22,320
So in Chris Russo is being featured
more heavily on ESPN. Now,

628
00:47:23,079 --> 00:47:30,519
yeah, they could be in I
mean, I don't know of too many

629
00:47:30,559 --> 00:47:37,960
media organizations that can survive losing their
two biggest stars, and that's something that

630
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:43,960
could be happening. Dax m Yeah, yeah, I mean from what I

631
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,679
read online, from what I've read
online over the years, you know,

632
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,920
because I love you know, I
love keeping up with media just in general.

633
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,400
As you know, they it doesn't
sound like they have a plan.

634
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:58,519
I mean they've been buying up you
know, they bought Stitcher and they bought

635
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:02,960
Pandora, so they've they've expanded the
company that way and into other avenues.

636
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,480
But um, but if if the
big draw is still Howard, and I

637
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,119
get, I don't know who would
be the bigger draw than Howard. I

638
00:48:13,199 --> 00:48:15,039
mean Andy Cohen. I mean he's
kind of a big deal, but I

639
00:48:15,079 --> 00:48:21,760
don't I don't think he's a draw. Find a way to this would never

640
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:28,639
happen because based on what I know
about the person, he's very anti conformist.

641
00:48:30,679 --> 00:48:37,840
Would be Joe Rogan. Yeah,
but he doesn't need them, right,

642
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:43,320
but I mean money talks. Yeah, but Joe Rogan's pretty set in

643
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,639
that department. Yeah, I mean
they they Yeah, he had stock in

644
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:54,280
the UFC when they were sold to
Endeavor. Yeah, but uh, you

645
00:48:54,320 --> 00:49:00,159
know, but they when he um, when he went to Spotify, I

646
00:49:00,159 --> 00:49:01,920
mean they backed to bring struck up
to his front door. I mean,

647
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:07,920
he he doesn't need, he doesn't
need to be anywhere else. No,

648
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:13,800
that would be the only one that
I think could probably take that mantle.

649
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,400
I mean if instead of buying Pandora
and Stitcher, if if serious XM had

650
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:22,239
bought Spotify and they were all under
the same roof, then then I could

651
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,079
see it. But otherwise, no, I don't know. I don't think

652
00:49:25,079 --> 00:49:27,719
there is. I don't think there
is, you know. And of course

653
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,639
Opie and Anthony has long gone and
has been for over a decade now,

654
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,000
so right, yeah, I don't
know. The Other thing to keep in

655
00:49:34,039 --> 00:49:38,559
mind about Joe Rogan is he is
under contract with Endeavor, so anything he

656
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:45,920
does has to in a way they
have a say. Now, whether he

657
00:49:45,039 --> 00:49:51,039
listens or not, I don't know
the language, but he is a contracted

658
00:49:51,079 --> 00:49:57,679
media personality with Endeavor. Yeah,
true, because he does do USC commentary.

659
00:49:58,119 --> 00:50:06,079
Yeah, um, I don't know
for how much longer. There's major

660
00:50:06,559 --> 00:50:15,920
issues there right now, but but
yeah, Joe being outspoken might end his

661
00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:20,960
time with the UFC. I doubt
it. I I think that, uh,

662
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:25,280
I mean, Dana, they've already
started scaling him back. Yeah,

663
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:30,480
but I my impression is that's that's
has more to do with his busy schedule

664
00:50:30,559 --> 00:50:34,960
because he's got a crank out content
for Spotify. I mean I can't imagine.

665
00:50:36,079 --> 00:50:37,440
I mean, do you think and
by Eric, you might have seen

666
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,280
something online that I didn't, So
maybe maybe you know something I don't.

667
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:45,360
But I mean I can't imagine that
company. If it were a different company,

668
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:51,159
maybe, but but that company,
I can't imagine them having any issues

669
00:50:51,199 --> 00:50:54,400
with any of Rogan's content on Spotify. I mean, if it's not his

670
00:50:54,639 --> 00:51:05,400
content, it's things he has said
about other individuals that he's made. Some

671
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,840
when he had to do an event
with Stephen A. Smith from ESPN,

672
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:16,719
he had some pretty inflammatory things to
say about it. Um. When Dana

673
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:24,440
White had his domestic issue, he
had some pretty pointed things to say about

674
00:51:24,519 --> 00:51:32,480
Dana Um. He has been appearing
on Arielhwani show, which that is oh

675
00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:38,599
yeah, that's like USC public enemy
numeral Uno. Yeah, obviously Dana White

676
00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:45,320
hates Ariel Hilwani um which I didn't
he to be fair, he has a

677
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:51,679
very valid reason for hating Ariel Hiwani. Well, I guess, Ariel,

678
00:51:52,840 --> 00:52:00,840
Ariel, that was unprofessional, very
unprofessional. You I mean to take an

679
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:07,239
announcement that was supposed to be for
a major event and put it out on

680
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:14,159
your Twitter feed for clicks. Yeah, well there's I mean, there's two

681
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:21,039
sides to that story. And uh, I've heard Ariels and I'm not convinced.

682
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,960
I mean, part of it might
be some there might be some bias

683
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:27,360
on my part just because I've been
like Ariel Helwani, I just I like

684
00:52:27,519 --> 00:52:34,800
it. I did, yeah,
until he just went full Charter Earth against

685
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:40,239
the USC And it's like you cust
the millions with that, Oh you think

686
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:45,920
so? Oh yeah, oh yeah, Like you had people that were buying

687
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:53,599
the pay per view just to see
who this major star that was returning was

688
00:52:53,760 --> 00:53:00,400
going to be, and Ariels,
five hours before for air says, oh,

689
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:07,639
it's gonna be brock lessner. Um. Yeah, So what was actually

690
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:13,880
tagged? A source within the UFC
that told him, Oh I didn't know

691
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,039
that. I thought the source was
was not never revealed. No, he

692
00:53:19,079 --> 00:53:22,480
he did tag a source. The
person said they didn't tell him. Oh

693
00:53:22,599 --> 00:53:29,679
I see Okay, it's kind of
like, really, but what what's Eric?

694
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,440
I guess if I were in a
room alone with Dana, Yi,

695
00:53:32,039 --> 00:53:38,880
I would probably I probably would play
stupid as well. Yeah, well of

696
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:46,079
course, but what Eric, I
actually have interviewed Dana before you. Yeah.

697
00:53:47,119 --> 00:53:51,599
Yeah, he's very intimidating. Yeah. I was gonna say, he

698
00:53:51,639 --> 00:53:54,199
seems like an intense dude. I've
never seen an interview with him where he

699
00:53:54,239 --> 00:54:00,880
didn't seem like just just really intense. First thing he said to me before

700
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,079
we started is he said, I
say the F word a lot. You

701
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:09,679
don't have a bleeping problem with that, do you? He's he's classy.

702
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:17,960
Well why what's that? Oh?
I thought? Yeah? He And I'm

703
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,440
like, well, I can edit
it out, and he's like, I

704
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:25,599
can deal with that. I guess
yea um, and I'm like, huh,

705
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:30,920
okay, well what's what's uh?
What's the stephen A. Smith thing?

706
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,480
I don't know anything about that.
Well, it happened a few years

707
00:54:35,679 --> 00:54:42,159
back, and it's it's actually precluded
stephen A. Smith from doing commentary on

708
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:49,159
UFC event oh, because stephen A
was very hurt by what was said.

709
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,960
Oh yeah, this this all totally
got past me. I don't know anything

710
00:54:53,000 --> 00:55:00,320
about this. He basically Joe Rogan
said that he didn't like being paid with

711
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:05,599
a nia fight who knew nothing about
the sport for three hours. Oh this

712
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,280
actually is is this is beginning to
sound familiar. Okay, I think I

713
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:15,880
do remember so stephen A went on
his show first take and said, i

714
00:55:15,039 --> 00:55:21,360
may not be a UFC expert,
but I've covered combat sports for over twenty

715
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:27,360
years. I'm respected within the sports
community to have a podcast or come at

716
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:34,760
me. Yeah, step down son, Oh wow, Okay, And ever

717
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,199
since then, they've kind of kept
stephen A away from UFC, which until

718
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:45,559
they got until they signed the Monday
Night Football extension, UFC was their biggest

719
00:55:45,639 --> 00:55:52,000
deal they had on the table.
Yeah. So you have your biggest personality

720
00:55:52,119 --> 00:56:00,039
on your network that cannot be on
the biggest programming you can offer. You'd

721
00:56:00,119 --> 00:56:04,159
think, I mean with that when
when there's so much money involved, you

722
00:56:04,199 --> 00:56:09,239
would think people would, uh would
be able to kind of Smith's book.

723
00:56:09,559 --> 00:56:16,239
Yeah, and he's an intense guy, proud individual. Yeah. Yeah,

724
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:22,519
I haven't read his book, but
his his interview on Howard was U was

725
00:56:22,639 --> 00:56:24,639
fascinating and he's yeah, he's an
intense guy. Yeah, he's a very

726
00:56:24,679 --> 00:56:29,760
proud proud man. Yes, any
as well as he should be. I

727
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:37,559
mean his accomplishment definitely. Yeah,
stephen A do you, buddy, You're

728
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:40,960
amazing. I love stephen A.
Smith. I don't even as you know,

729
00:56:42,079 --> 00:56:45,320
I'm not a sports guy, but
occasionally I'll just see something pop up

730
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:50,199
in my YouTube feed or on media
at that website that I love, you

731
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,119
know, that he went off on
something, and I'll stop and watch it.

732
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,320
I might not know what he's talking
about, but I just but he's

733
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,960
one of those people. I just
love hearing him talk, and I just

734
00:56:59,079 --> 00:57:02,159
love watching him and get watching him
get worked up about something. It's it's

735
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:10,000
he's a very engaging broadcaster. He
is he really really is, and he

736
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:16,360
knows his stuff. Yeah you can
tell. Yeah, I mean you There's

737
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:22,159
a reason why First Take is the
number one rated sports talk show across all

738
00:57:22,199 --> 00:57:25,800
a cable. Oh and it's not
because people are like, oh all they

739
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:30,639
do is yeah. If that were
the case, then how many countless shows

740
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:36,360
would be number one and there are
respective time slots right. No, it's

741
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,559
because people look to him for an
opinion and they value what he has to

742
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:47,400
say. Yeah. So yeah,
I have nothing but love for Stephen A.

743
00:57:47,559 --> 00:57:52,960
Smith. Yeah, it's it's too
bad though, when there's when there's

744
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,400
that much, you know, when
there's so much money involved. I guess

745
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:58,559
I kind of look at it like
this way. You would think when there's

746
00:57:58,599 --> 00:58:04,239
so much money involved and much potential, that you would think that people could

747
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,320
could kind of put their egos aside
and figure out how to And sometimes they

748
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:12,280
do. Obviously. Sometimes you see
in big media you see people working together

749
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,679
who you thought would never would but
but it's but it's always a little bit

750
00:58:15,719 --> 00:58:20,960
baffling to me when it's like,
how how do these people not see past?

751
00:58:21,639 --> 00:58:23,199
You know, especially if it's something
that happened years ago? How do

752
00:58:23,559 --> 00:58:28,360
how do people not find a way
to work together when they could be doing

753
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:34,320
something really really great? Yeah?
If I and this is just me seculating,

754
00:58:34,719 --> 00:58:39,360
Yeah, if I had to guess, it's Joe Rogan never apologized,

755
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:47,079
and he didn't he doubled down on
it. Oh did he? Yeah?

756
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,679
He basically said, well, maybe
you should take the time knowing the sport

757
00:58:52,199 --> 00:58:57,719
instead of plugging, you're plugging your
shell that doesn't need it. Oh god,

758
00:58:59,159 --> 00:59:01,480
yeah, that's not good. Yeah. Where did he was, like,

759
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:07,280
well, did he say that on
his show? Baby. So where

760
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,960
did where did Rogan say that?
Was it in an interview or did he

761
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:14,760
actually just say it? I say
it was on his podcast. Okay,

762
00:59:16,719 --> 00:59:22,480
I think it's he was with Brandon's
Shaw because Brandon's Shab has an ax to

763
00:59:22,599 --> 00:59:28,199
grind, a major ax to grind
with the USC, and he's like,

764
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:32,360
I would have much rather done commentary
with you than who I had to deal

765
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:39,840
with m M. And it's like, I mean, okay, Joe,

766
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:46,159
I guess that's the route you can
go down, Brendan Shab, that guy.

767
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:51,800
I would still rather listen to stephen
A. Smith than the fighters they

768
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:58,400
have on there that their brains are
so turned into mush they're incomprehensible. Yeah,

769
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,679
I know, I know, Well
Eric listen, Yeah, yeah,

770
01:00:02,719 --> 01:00:06,639
go ahead, I know we're over
on the top of the hour. Yeah

771
01:00:06,719 --> 01:00:09,679
yeah, yeah. We gotta get
to your your film review. I'm very

772
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:15,920
very very good. I feel that
that you you continue to evolve with these

773
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,840
so I always look forward to sharing
them with everybody. Yes, yeah,

774
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,119
a very popular segment on the program. So we will get to that.

775
01:00:22,239 --> 01:00:24,480
I see my dad's in the chat
room. I know he's dying to hear

776
01:00:24,519 --> 01:00:28,760
it because he as he was commenting
on you. You know, I really

777
01:00:29,079 --> 01:00:31,519
it really puts a lot of pressure
on me when there are people that are

778
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:37,519
like, I really love this movie. Yeah, and it's good. Right

779
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:43,199
before I like start writing it or
recording or even before I start watching it.

780
01:00:43,519 --> 01:00:47,559
Yeah, it's like, oh,
don't do this to me. Why

781
01:00:51,079 --> 01:00:52,360
that's good though. It's a good
problem to have, that's for sure.

782
01:00:53,679 --> 01:01:00,639
It is. But until you mess
up their favorite film and you hear about

783
01:01:00,679 --> 01:01:04,679
it. Yeah, that's all right, all right, well very good.

784
01:01:04,719 --> 01:01:07,480
Well we're gonna get to that.
So thank you, thank you for the

785
01:01:07,559 --> 01:01:12,599
call, and I'll make sure to
remind the merchandising manager over there, Texas,

786
01:01:12,719 --> 01:01:17,039

Thank you guys. You know what, mikey, if you come through with

792
01:01:37,559 --> 01:01:39,920

zero all right. I'll even give

Wow? How about that? How
about that he's living large already and he's

795
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,800
just new on the job. All
right, Eric, thank you for the

796
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:59,119
call, No problem. Thanks Matt
by Texas. Mike Buck, all right,

797
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,320
very good. That's friend Derik Pilcher
from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. And

798
01:02:01,719 --> 01:02:04,719
we are a little bit past the
top of the hour, so we're gonna

799
01:02:04,719 --> 01:02:08,239
get to uh, we're gonna get
to his film review. Scott did say

800
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:10,719
in the Scott Robinson, by the
way, as in the chat room,

801
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,519
he said, uh, you know, we were talking about who might ultimately

802
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:20,199
replace or succeed Howard Stern when he
eventually retires from Serious XM. Scott said,

803
01:02:20,199 --> 01:02:22,320
don't forget about David Lee Roth.
He's still out there. Yeah.

804
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:27,039
That's for people who don't know or
who maybe and some of you may just

805
01:02:27,119 --> 01:02:31,800
be too young. You remember,
but when Howard initially left terrestrial radio and

806
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:38,800
went to satellite radio Infinity Broadcasting,
who I think is part of CBS Radio.

807
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:45,239
I think they they replaced him on
their stations. They actually did this

808
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,320
creative thing where on the East coast
they replaced him with David Lee Roth,

809
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:53,079
and on the West coast they replaced
him with Adam Carolla. So instead of

810
01:02:53,159 --> 01:02:59,000
having one host replaced Howard on all
their stations, they kind of split it

811
01:02:59,079 --> 01:03:02,760
up and they had a third hosts
in the Midwest and I can't remember who

812
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:06,920
it was, but on the East
Coast, so you know, stations in

813
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,360
this part of the country, we
had David Lee Roth and that didn't last

814
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,800
long, which is too bad.
I thought Roth had a lot of potential.

815
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:17,519
Actually, Oh, Mike from Queen
City Cabinetry joins us in the Facebook

W m n H rip the novels Please

862
01:07:15,119 --> 01:07:16,559
love Me. If I'm gonna hit
some about it, I'm gonna do something

863
01:07:16,639 --> 01:08:00,639
I don't try. The disk go
ahead? Is that where you're moved the

864
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:09,039
last time? Because you're in trouble. They think then they can protect me

865
01:08:09,159 --> 01:08:12,679
by moving around all the time.
You had a good start in the wrong

866
01:08:12,719 --> 01:08:17,800
direction back there. Why'd you do
it? What do you mean? Miss?

867
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:28,600
That kid up? Yeah, called
me chicken and your Roopes didn't understand.

868
01:08:30,039 --> 01:08:40,960
I never do they think that I
can make friends if we moved,

869
01:08:41,079 --> 01:08:48,319
since just move, everything will be
roses and sunshine. But you don't think

870
01:08:48,359 --> 01:08:57,479
that's the right solution. She eats
him alive, and he takes things pretty

871
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:06,840
rough for you at home, at
the zoo, at a zoo. I

872
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:12,359
mean, he always wants to be
my power. You know, how can

873
01:09:12,399 --> 01:09:18,199
I give him anything if he's I
mean, I love him and all that

874
01:09:18,279 --> 01:09:23,279
type of stuff. At night,
I mean, I don't want to hurt

875
01:09:23,359 --> 01:09:28,199
him, but then I don't.
I don't know what to do anymore except

876
01:09:28,239 --> 01:09:31,199
maybe die on. I mean,
if if he had guts to knock mom

877
01:09:31,319 --> 01:09:35,199
cold ones, then maybe she'd be
happy, and then she'd stopped picking on

878
01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:43,119
him. Does they make mush out
of him? You know, just mush.

879
01:09:44,399 --> 01:09:47,359
No. I'll tell you one thing. I don't ever want to be

880
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:56,359
like him, chicken, but just
teenage jangs is a condition that is old

881
01:09:56,399 --> 01:10:01,600
as time. It has been depicted
in film many times over, even to

882
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:09,239
the point where the stories in films
have somehow become blurred together. However,

883
01:10:09,399 --> 01:10:15,079
one film, despite being released nearly
sixty eight years ago, is still as

884
01:10:15,239 --> 01:10:21,119
transcendent, emotional and powerful now as
it was then. It also features one

885
01:10:21,119 --> 01:10:31,880
of the most landmark career defining performances
in cinema history. Shrouded in Tragedy released

886
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:38,399
in nineteen fifty five, directed by
Nicholas Ray, Rebel Without a Cause shows

887
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:45,039
troubled teens in an effluent California suburb. The three key teens are Jim,

888
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:53,119
James Dean and his landmark generational role
Judy the late Natalie Wood in Plato,

889
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:59,199
Salmonino, all troubled in their own
way, facing problems at home that have

890
01:10:59,359 --> 01:11:05,560
far reached in consequences when they act
out. Our opening clip was Jim after

891
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:11,560
being arrested for public drunkenness as a
miner. He is released to his parents.

892
01:11:12,319 --> 01:11:15,000
The heart to heart we heard is
what he has with the police chief.

893
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,520
In our next two clips show the
pain both Judy and Jim have in

894
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:28,479
regards to the turmoil and issues in
their home. Who's arguing and overreaching has

895
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:33,479
caused this emotional turmoil within Jim,
And then we meet Judy, who is

896
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:40,319
just wanting her father's attention and is
acting out to get it, including staying

897
01:11:40,399 --> 01:11:44,359
out past curfew. Well, I
don't see what's so bad about taking a

898
01:11:44,399 --> 01:11:47,600
little drink. You don't know.
I definitely he's a minor missus dark and

899
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:54,760
it looks to me like he had
more than a little drink. It was

900
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:58,319
pretty good in my day too.
Oh really, Frank, when was that?

901
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:04,039
Can'tuwait till we get home? Got
anything to say for yourself? Not

902
01:12:04,199 --> 01:12:09,680
interested enough? Can't you answer?
What's the matter with you? Anyhow?

903
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:14,159
He's just loaded? Honey? I
was talking to Jim. Well, I'd

904
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:15,920
like to just explain. You.
See, we just moved here, you

905
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,960
understand, and the kid hasn't got
any friends moved into it. Will you

906
01:12:21,039 --> 01:12:24,800
hold a gem? Tell him?
Man? While we moved here, will

907
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,600
you hold it? You can't protect
me? Do you mind? If I

908
01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,520
try? You do you have to
slam the door in my face? I

909
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,720
try to get to him. What
happens? Don't I buy everything you want?

910
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,560
A bicycle? You get a bicycle, a car? You buy me

911
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,119
many things? No? No,
well not just buy? Will we give

912
01:12:42,159 --> 01:12:44,800
you love and affection? Don't we? Well? Then what is it?

913
01:12:45,319 --> 01:12:46,840
Was it because we went to that
party? Well, you know what kind

914
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:51,359
of drunken brawls. Those kind of
parties turn into start a place for kids.

915
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:55,119
A minute ago, you said you
didn't care if he drinks. He

916
01:12:55,319 --> 01:13:01,199
said, a little drink. You're
tearing me apart. What you say one

917
01:13:01,279 --> 01:13:05,199
thing, he says another, and
everybody changes back again, like a fine

918
01:13:05,199 --> 01:13:13,600
way to behave. You know who
he takes after and now Judy, he

919
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:18,479
needs me. It makes you think
he hates you, Judy, I don't

920
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:25,760
think. I know. He looks
at me like I was ugliest thing in

921
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:30,159
the world. He doesn't like my
friends. He doesn't like one thing about

922
01:13:30,239 --> 01:13:40,680
me. He called me. He
called me a dirty trip my own father.

923
01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:47,439
Do you think your father really means
that? Yes, no, I

924
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:57,399
don't know. I mean, maybe
he doesn't mean it, but he acts

925
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:02,720
like he does. We were all
together, we were going to celebrate Eastern

926
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:12,760
We catch a double bill, big
deal. So I put on my new

927
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:20,479
dress and I came out in grab
my face. He started rubbing off a

928
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:30,399
little lipstick. If I didn't rub
up my lip and I read out of

929
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,439
that house. Is that why you
were wandering around at one o'clock in the

930
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:41,319
morning. Weren't looking for a company? Were you? People? Don't even

931
01:14:41,399 --> 01:14:44,520
know why I do it. Maybe
you think you can get back at your

932
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,159
dad that way. I mean,
if you're not as close to him as

933
01:14:46,159 --> 01:14:50,119
you'd like to be. Maybe this
is one way of making him pay attention.

934
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:56,000
Did you ever think of that,
I'll never get close to anybody.

935
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,279
Would you like to go home,
Jurty, or we can arrange it.

936
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:08,359
What's your number? Duty realize you're
dead to come down and pick you up

937
01:15:09,199 --> 01:15:13,760
unless you really don't want to go
home? Would you rather stay here?

938
01:15:15,319 --> 01:15:19,960
As I mentioned at the beginning of
this review, this film is really known

939
01:15:20,079 --> 01:15:28,079
for delving into the human condition of
teenage angst. One of those symptoms of

940
01:15:28,239 --> 01:15:32,880
that condition is disagreeing with your parents, clashing with your parents, fighting for

941
01:15:33,039 --> 01:15:40,119
control it within your life from your
parents. While the writing and direction of

942
01:15:40,199 --> 01:15:45,720
this film help convey all of this, the performances are really what gets the

943
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:51,560
viewer into the inner crisis these young
people are facing. While there are many

944
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:57,520
scenes throughout this film that depict this, our next clip is the one that,

945
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,680
in my opinion, is the best
exam ample. Following a game of

946
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:08,960
chicken that has a tragic ending,
Jim wants to turn himself in, much

947
01:16:09,079 --> 01:16:15,000
to his parents' dismay. This is
when I believe the full emotional range of

948
01:16:15,319 --> 01:16:20,279
James Dean is on display. I'm
going to the police, and I want

949
01:16:20,319 --> 01:16:24,760
to tell him iolved in this thing? Did anyone see you there? Did

950
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,520
anyone see your license? But I
don't know it. Do you think I'll

951
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,199
go to the police. It doesn't
matter, It doesn't matter, It doesn't

952
01:16:30,199 --> 01:16:34,960
matter. Why what? Why are
you going to preach? Do we have

953
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,920
to listen to a sermon when I'm
only trying to tell him what you mean?

954
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,680
You can't be idealistic all your life, Jim, Nobody, nobody getting

955
01:16:43,079 --> 01:16:48,640
to yourself. Wait a minute,
you don't want me to go No,

956
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,439
no, I don't want you to
go to the police. There were other

957
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:56,920
people. Why should you be the
only one involved? But I am involved.

958
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:01,319
We are all involved. Mom,
A boy, a kid was killed

959
01:17:01,359 --> 01:17:05,159
tonight. I don't see how I
can get out of that by tendering that

960
01:17:05,239 --> 01:17:09,359
it didn't happen. Well, you
know that you did the wrong thing.

961
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,800
That's the main thing. Is this
nothing? That is absolutely nothing? Dad,

962
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,680
you told me, you said you
want me to tell the truth.

963
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:24,000
Now, didn't you say that you
can't turn it off? But he's not

964
01:17:24,159 --> 01:17:28,920
saying that. He's saying, just
don't volunteer. Just tell a little white

965
01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:33,720
buy you learn when you're older,
Jim, Well, I don't think if

966
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,840
I want to learn that way.
But it doesn't matter anyway because we're moving.

967
01:17:39,239 --> 01:17:41,680
I'm not telling me loose again.
Well, this is news to me.

968
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,920
Just why are we moving? Do
I have to spell? I'm not

969
01:17:44,039 --> 01:17:45,680
going to use me as an excuse
again. I don't. Every time you

970
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,960
can't face yourself, you'll blame it
on me. That is not true.

971
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,560
But you say it's because of me. You say it's because of the neighborhood.

972
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:57,000
Now you use every other funny excuse. Mom, I just once I

973
01:17:57,079 --> 01:18:00,760
want to do something right and I
don't want you to away from me again.

974
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:08,319
That this is all going too fast
for Lenners giving me something. You

975
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:13,079
better give me something fast. Jimmy, you're very young. A fullish decision

976
01:18:13,119 --> 01:18:15,159
not could wreck your whole life in
ten years. You'll never know this even

977
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:26,920
had that answer her, tell her
ten years that let me hear you answer

978
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:55,199
her. Yeah, that stand up
for me? Stand you want to kill

979
01:18:55,199 --> 01:19:15,520
your own father. While this film
is wrought with emotion and difficult scenery,

980
01:19:16,119 --> 01:19:23,520
it does feature a heartwarming romance between
Jim and Judy. Our final two clips

981
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:30,640
show this first after a glancing pass
at the police station, Jim tries to

982
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:36,279
be friendly towards Judy and is rudely
rebuffed. Then, in our final clip,

983
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:46,159
Judy apologizes to Jim and beautifully confesses
her love. Hi. Hi,

984
01:19:46,279 --> 01:20:00,319
Wait a minute, Hi, I
see't before him? Well, stop the

985
01:20:00,399 --> 01:20:04,239
world to be unfriendly. Well,
now that's true, but life is crushing

986
01:20:04,279 --> 01:20:12,079
in on me. Life can be
beautiful. I know where it was?

987
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:18,279
Where? What was where I first
saw you? Everything going? Okay?

988
01:20:18,319 --> 01:20:27,039
Now you live here? Don't you? Who lives? Hey? Where's Dawson

989
01:20:27,199 --> 01:20:31,960
High? At university? In tenth? Thanks? You want to carry my

990
01:20:32,039 --> 01:20:38,039
books? I got my car.
You want to go with me? I

991
01:20:38,199 --> 01:20:51,359
go with the kids. Yeah,
yeah, all right, you know.

992
01:20:53,079 --> 01:21:12,319
I bet you're a real yong yo. I love you too. Oh that's

993
01:21:12,319 --> 01:21:15,600
a new disease, A friend of
yours. I'm glad they left you out.

994
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:27,960
They always live. I'm living Which
way university work? Which? Which

995
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,520
way? Is it the university?
And tenth? Is that way? That

996
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:41,760
way? Don't worry. Finally,
Judy's confession of love. I'm sorry.

997
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:47,600
I'm sorry that I treated you mean
today. You shouldn't believe what I say.

998
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:53,760
When I'm with the rest of the
kids. Nobody nobody acts in here.

999
01:22:00,079 --> 01:22:13,039
M h Why did you do that? What's so like it? Ellipsy

1000
01:22:13,119 --> 01:22:30,680
song? Where you going? I
don't know. We can't stay here.

1001
01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:45,479
I know one thing, I'm not
going back in that too. I'm never

1002
01:22:45,560 --> 01:23:00,680
going back. Listen, I know
a place. Let told me before.

1003
01:23:00,159 --> 01:23:15,840
It's on desertn't mentioned up for the
planetarium. Want we're doing you can trust

1004
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:28,960
me Judy. Upon release, many
critics admonished this film. They felt it

1005
01:23:29,079 --> 01:23:34,520
was violent and disturbing. Those that
praised it raved about the performances of the

1006
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:41,359
three stars, the direction by Ray, the realism that the film depicted and

1007
01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:47,319
didn't dare shy away from. Filmgoers
sided with the ladder. The film generated

1008
01:23:47,399 --> 01:23:53,680
over seven million dollars theatrically, making
it the second highest grossing film for Warner

1009
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:59,800
Brothers that year. It was nominated
for three Academy Awards, including Best Actress,

1010
01:24:00,079 --> 01:24:08,279
Would and Best Supporting Actor for Menino's
Trail of plato Inexcusably, James Dean

1011
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:14,840
did not receive a nomination, and
the film did not win any Oscars.

1012
01:24:15,159 --> 01:24:20,359
Sadly, that is not the most
tragic aspect of this film. Neither are

1013
01:24:20,399 --> 01:24:26,560
the tragedies depicted in scenes within it. It has to be the tragic end

1014
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:32,720
of the three stars of the film
would died by questionable drowning that to this

1015
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:40,359
day has never been solved. Menino
was stabbed fatally by a mugger who didn't

1016
01:24:40,399 --> 01:24:45,279
even know who he was. And
finally James Dean, who would die in

1017
01:24:45,359 --> 01:24:53,199
a car accident one month prior to
this film's release. He never was able

1018
01:24:53,239 --> 01:24:58,039
to relish in the acclaim in praise
that his performance garners to this day.

1019
01:24:59,239 --> 01:25:03,039
Everyone should view this film not just
out of appreciation to cinema, but to

1020
01:25:03,119 --> 01:25:09,520
a once in a lifetime talent that
we never will know the heights he could

1021
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:13,079
have climbed. I hope you join
me next week when we will dive into

1022
01:25:13,239 --> 01:25:21,199
the sinister Minister with tattooed hands with
the nineteen fifty five suspense noir film Night

1023
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:28,439
of the Hunter starring Robert Mitchum.

of course you can interact end opine in

1050
01:28:28,079 --> 01:28:30,359
the Facebook live chat. But the
best thing to do so that we can

1051
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:33,760
hear and enjoy your Dulca tones is
to give us a call at six zo

1052

1053
01:28:39,119 --> 01:28:41,880
and which means well, Friday is
my favorite day of the week here at

1054
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,800
WMNH because I get to pull double
duty and I do love it. I

1055
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:49,359
do love it. So I'm on
this program of course up to six pm,

1056
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,600
and then we have granted State of
Mind hosted by Rob as a Veto

1057
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:57,319
and Pauli Stone, and of course
for the summer months, they record the

1058
01:28:57,359 --> 01:29:00,800
show every week at Pembroke City Limits. So I don't know what they've got

1059
01:29:01,199 --> 01:29:04,279
in store for this week's show,
but I always look forward to hearing it.

1060
01:29:05,279 --> 01:29:11,720
And Tony Petrello says, oh yeah, hey there, Matt, and

1061
01:29:12,039 --> 01:29:15,520
uh and then of course I'm back. I'm back at eight pm for Retro

1062
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,920
Spectrum Radio with Paul E. C
and the honor and privilege of being one

1063
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:24,279
of Paul's co hosts on that show
along with DJ Steve and Mike from Queen

1064
01:29:24,359 --> 01:29:27,800
City Cabinetry. And Mike happens to
be not only one of our co hosts,

1065
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:32,399
but as sponsor of WMNH as well
Queen City Cabinetry and the historic Sunbeam

1066
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:40,039
mall named of course for the vaunted
General Sunbeam. So he's in the cementa

1067
01:29:40,239 --> 01:29:43,920
there and you can go there and
light a candle or something while actually with

1068
01:29:44,039 --> 01:29:46,119
fire codes that might not be allowed. I think you can maybe turn on

1069
01:29:46,239 --> 01:29:51,800
an electric lantern. We'll have to
ask Mike about that, but uh yeah.

1070
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:56,039
So Fridays are a lot of fun
here. By the way, don't

1071
01:29:56,079 --> 01:29:59,760
forget our amazing sponsor, the Hopknot
right across this three to one thousand elm

1072
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:03,239
Stree. They have live music tomorrow
night. They have Matt Litzinger as they

1073
01:30:03,279 --> 01:30:06,640
have live music every every Friday night, and they've got a lot of events

1074
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:11,560
coming up for Pride Month and so
forth. Tomorrow night, Jenny and I

1075
01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:15,479
will be at the Rex Theater of
course for a stand up audio. Really

1076
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:19,880
looking forward to that. They were
on the show. Um I almost said

1077
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:24,239
yesterday, No, the day before. The days blur together. It's been

1078
01:30:24,239 --> 01:30:27,560
a very busy week in good ways, good things happening. But it's been

1079
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,720
a very busy week and it's not
over yet. But but we're looking forward

1080
01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,760
to that tomorrow night, going to
see Now you've you've been to the Rex

1081
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,800
Theater many times, right Texas Mike, Yes, I have. I haven't

1082
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:40,479
been in that building in a very
long time, but I feel like I've

1083
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:45,359
seen you posting things from recent events
there. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

1084
01:30:45,039 --> 01:30:48,520
I usually try you go to a
Friday night comy so he so oh

1085
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:54,560
yes and been Um I've been to
other shows as well, so yeah yeah,

1086
01:30:55,359 --> 01:30:58,479
Um, how's the sound in there
for live bands? Sound good?

1087
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:05,119
Good. I've been there a couple
of times for when Bob Advito did tribute

1088
01:31:05,199 --> 01:31:10,640
Choake Ben I was on on I
got to say, got to sit on

1089
01:31:11,039 --> 01:31:14,680
the side stage. So it was
awesome. Yeah, that's right, that's

1090
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,239
right, Yeah, very cool.
Yeah. So uh, tomorrow night it's

1091
01:31:17,279 --> 01:31:20,039
an evening with stand up audio.
There's no open or nothing, it's just

1092
01:31:20,319 --> 01:31:23,920
them, So that'll be up.
That'll be fun. Really looking forward to

1093
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,319
that. And they've got a great
sound. I'll probably close the show today

1094
01:31:27,079 --> 01:31:30,680
with one of their songs. Um. Oh, I see Ricky Mapleton.

1095
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:32,840
I joined us in the Facebook live
chat. Hello, sir. Ricky has

1096
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:36,600
been on the show and he's gonna
be coming back soon. Jenny of course

1097
01:31:36,640 --> 01:31:40,239
has been doing all the booking and
doing a great job. And lots of

1098
01:31:40,279 --> 01:31:45,800
great guests, uh, both political
and musical, so that's been wonderful.

1099
01:31:45,039 --> 01:31:49,720
And um, lots of great feedback
on the increase in musical guests. You

1100
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:53,920
know, for the longest time,
we would have two or three musical guests

1101
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:55,960
per month, and now it's more
like two or three a week, and

1102
01:31:56,039 --> 01:32:00,439
it's it's really good. Um,
it's definitely better for me. I there's

1103
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:04,640
there's just something rejuvenating about talking to
creative people about creating their art, their

1104
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:10,119
music or other kinds of art as
well. So and it's not just doing

1105
01:32:10,319 --> 01:32:15,920
the local artists just like explaining it
to you worldwide audience. Yes, yes,

1106
01:32:15,359 --> 01:32:19,760
well you know we do have some
Texas musicians and uh that's uh,

1107
01:32:20,159 --> 01:32:25,680
that's so that you don't get upset
with us. It's to play kate you

1108
01:32:26,279 --> 01:32:29,439
because I know that you know.
Of course, for those who don't know

1109
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:31,920
Texas, Mike is a former a
WA tag team champion with black Jack Mullian

1110
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,279
and I'm always afraid one of these
days you're gonna lose your temper and outcomes

1111
01:32:36,319 --> 01:32:41,640
the cattle prod. I would never
I would never do that to you man

1112
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:45,560
or the Brandy and Iron or or
or worst case scenario, all of a

1113
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:46,960
sudden, I'm taking a steel chair
to the head. I mean that would

1114
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:49,720
be uh so you know, so
we try to keep you happy, sir,

1115
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,840
Thank you, and I would never
would do that to you. Thank

1116
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:58,960
you. I appreciate that. That's
exactly what Blackjack Mulligan told me once as

1117
01:32:59,039 --> 01:33:01,880
well. Next thing I know,
well, we won't get into it.

1118
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:06,600
Ricky says, hello, looking forward
to seeing you soon. New album coming

1119
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:11,479
out called Recipe Songs Love the Show. Yes, well, we look forward

1120
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:14,399
to having you back on sir.
That was a great time the last time,

1121
01:33:15,079 --> 01:33:20,119
and uh we we look forward to
that. Uh, let's see well

1122
01:33:20,399 --> 01:33:23,800
again, as as we do only
have a little bit of time left.

1123
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:29,600
Uh, it's been I've been in
a pretty good mood today because we are

1124
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:35,760
not stepping into the abyss into a
global economic armageddon. And that's a good

1125
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:42,079
thing. They did. The Senate
last night did pass the debt ceiling bill.

1126
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:48,600
And um, it's funny Jenny had
turned it on the live feed from

1127
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:54,399
uh, I guess from c Span, but online we don't have actual cable.

1128
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,279
We cut the chord a long time
ago. But but you know,

1129
01:33:57,359 --> 01:34:00,560
you can get all this stuff online
now. So um, Enny had turned

1130
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:03,680
on the live feed from the Senate
and I hear, you know they're they're

1131
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:09,560
voting on the amendments. They had
eleven different amendments. And I posted something

1132
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:16,560
on the Matt Connerton Unleashed Facebook page
regarding these amendments, something rather profane words.

1133
01:34:16,600 --> 01:34:20,880
I I said, I used a
word I am not able to use

1134
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:26,920
on the air, but certainly I
did do it on the Facebook, expressing

1135
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:30,159
how I felt about all these amendments
that these senators were trying to attach.

1136
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,279
Because if if they had succeeded,
if any of these senators had succeeded in

1137
01:34:35,359 --> 01:34:40,079
getting an amendment attached to that bill. It would then have to go back

1138
01:34:40,119 --> 01:34:44,520
to the House to be voted on
again the amended version, and just no

1139
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:45,880
time for it. No time for
it. You know, we were going

1140
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:50,399
to be defaulting as soon as June
fifth if this didn't get done. But

1141
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:55,880
so Jenny turns on the feed on
the computer and I hear, you know,

1142
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:58,520
they're they're voting on the amendments,
and they're trying to get through it.

1143
01:35:00,039 --> 01:35:01,520
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying
to get through it, and I

1144
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:06,359
hear his voice saying they just finished
voting on one one that had failed.

1145
01:35:06,399 --> 01:35:11,720
They all failed, all eleven amendments
failed, thank god. But I hear

1146
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,560
Schumer saying, Okay, that was
ten and a half minutes on that one.

1147
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:17,600
Let's let's get the next one down
to ten minutes. Let's keep this

1148
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:20,159
going. Let's keep this going.
You know, he was trying to,

1149
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,800
you know, wanted to get it
done, get that bill passed so they

1150
01:35:24,800 --> 01:35:27,600
could get it to Biden's desk.
And apparently Biden is going to sign it

1151
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:32,800
tonight, and I guess he's he's
going to address the nation. I think

1152
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:36,079
it's seven o'clock. So actually I
will be able to see it because we

1153
01:35:36,199 --> 01:35:40,479
don't go, you know, because
it'll be between shows. This show finishes

1154
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:47,760
at six and Retrospection Radio doesn't start
until eight. But I don't I don't

1155
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:51,319
know if it's worth I was a
little surprised by that. I'm not sure.

1156
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:56,159
I'm not sure why he's going to
address the nation about it. If

1157
01:35:56,239 --> 01:36:00,439
we were going into default, if
the worst had happened, as I'm at

1158
01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:03,600
one point predicted that it would,
I was feeling pretty pessimistic. And by

1159
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:06,520
the way, I'm sorry if I
brought anyone down with my pessimism. I

1160
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:11,159
I usually like to be optimistic.
I mean, I'm cynical. I'm always

1161
01:36:11,199 --> 01:36:15,279
cynical about politics, but aren't we
all to some degree. But I don't

1162
01:36:15,319 --> 01:36:19,000
usually get that negative. But I
was really worried. My anxiety level over

1163
01:36:19,119 --> 01:36:24,520
the debt ceiling was even higher than
it was in twenty eleven, which was

1164
01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:28,199
the first time I ever got really
freaked out thinking that we might actually default,

1165
01:36:28,600 --> 01:36:30,159
that the United States for the first
time in our history, might actually

1166
01:36:30,239 --> 01:36:36,079
default on our full faith and credit, and the global economic collapse that could

1167
01:36:36,119 --> 01:36:40,520
come from that if that were to
ever actually be allowed to happen. Hello

1168
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:43,880
to Chris Rose from the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, who joins us in the chat.

1169
01:36:45,359 --> 01:36:51,319
So I was very pleased that that
got passed. And Biden is,

1170
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:55,760
I guess, signing it this evening
and he's going to speak to the nation

1171
01:36:55,800 --> 01:37:02,640
about it. Okay, just a
couple of quick thoughts. So, so,

1172
01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:08,640
first of all, I really don't
want to go through this again in

1173
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:12,920
two years. Part of the deal
is a two year lift suspension of the

1174
01:37:13,199 --> 01:37:20,199
debt limit. I hope that every
single one, whether it's a Biden or

1175
01:37:20,359 --> 01:37:24,720
every other Democrat. You're not gonna
hear Republicans talk about it, although Mitch

1176
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:29,039
McConnell in the past the one Republican
who has talked about this in the past,

1177
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:35,000
but not recently. But I hope
that they do begin to take a

1178
01:37:35,159 --> 01:37:41,359
serious look at just getting rid of
the debt limit permanently so we don't have

1179
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:45,039
to keep doing this stance. And
I mean, it doesn't sound like the

1180
01:37:45,119 --> 01:37:48,520
fourteenth Amendment. Well, it depends
on who you ask, but it sounds

1181
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:55,960
like there's a lot of potential pitfalls
with trying to invoke the fourteenth Amendment to

1182
01:37:56,039 --> 01:37:59,479
avoid a default. But if you
just get rid of the debt limit.

1183
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:00,720
Then we don't have to do this
again. I don't want to have to

1184
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,479
do this again in two years.
I don't want to have to do this

1185
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:12,840
again. Ever, you know,
we came perilously close, and I'm telling

1186
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:15,720
you, all it would have taken
last night was for one of those just

1187
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:23,720
one of those eleven amendments to get
enough support that it got attached to that

1188
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,840
bill, and then they'd be having
to send it back to the House.

1189
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,680
And it's like I said on Facebook, and again I was a little bit

1190
01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:33,199
profane about what I said online,
but I was really feeling it. I

1191
01:38:34,399 --> 01:38:42,439
was angry and surprised a little bit, because you know, I thought the

1192
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,079
real difficulty would be getting this through
the House, and then it would sail

1193
01:38:45,159 --> 01:38:49,520
through the Senate. And then it
got through the House pretty well, more

1194
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:55,319
than three hundred votes, and then
I thought, Okay, well, the

1195
01:38:55,399 --> 01:38:59,000
Senate's just a formality. And then
last night I was starting to wonder.

1196
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,319
I remember Jenny and I having a
conversation, as she said, I think

1197
01:39:01,319 --> 01:39:04,479
I'd ask sir because she'd been she'd
been watching it online. I said,

1198
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:08,439
how many amendments are there? And
she said eleven? And I was like,

1199
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:11,840
oh, my god. I mean, I don't have a big problem

1200
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:16,760
with some people voting against it because
they're upset about something in it, because

1201
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:21,399
they know they can vote against it
and say I voted against it because of

1202
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:26,479
X, Y or Z, because
that's how I feel about it. But

1203
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:30,800
I knew that I wasn't voting for
default because we weren't going to default because

1204
01:39:30,880 --> 01:39:33,720
enough people would still vote for it. I don't have a big problem with

1205
01:39:33,880 --> 01:39:40,560
that, But I did have a
big problem with people attaching amendments and taking

1206
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:44,439
that that is much too risky for
me. We do have a call.

1207
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:47,560
Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Who is this? This is Jackson?

1208
01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:53,239
Oh my god, Jackson from what
stade are you from? I forget

1209
01:39:54,399 --> 01:39:58,399
Georgia, Georgia Jackson? How are
you, sir? Haven't heard from you

1210
01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:02,079
in a long time. I've been
pretty good. I've been running my own

1211
01:40:02,399 --> 01:40:09,319
station that we're here in um Dakota
and um we're working up the big Eighties

1212
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:15,439
Stravaganza tomorrow. So it's a it's
a big thing. What is it,

1213
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,880
uh, an extravaganza. It's the
eighties. It's a it's a Saturday show.

1214
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:24,279
It's called it The eighties extravaganza,
but all eighties hitting from three to

1215
01:40:24,399 --> 01:40:27,960
seven. Oh, I gotcha?
Okay, and what is the radio station

1216
01:40:28,039 --> 01:40:31,159
again? It's uh, well,
we we changed in a while back.

1217
01:40:31,319 --> 01:40:36,279
So it's called the Shark Radio dot
Com. The Shark as in with fins

1218
01:40:36,319 --> 01:40:42,960
and everything. Yeah, I'm gonna
I'm gonna check that out after So it's

1219
01:40:43,039 --> 01:40:48,239
the Shark Radio dot Com. Gotcha, yes, gotcha. But usually during

1220
01:40:48,279 --> 01:40:51,159
the week and stuff, we still
play Top forty. So we played in

1221
01:40:51,199 --> 01:40:56,119
the light Drake and all that.
Yeah. Um, and we still do

1222
01:40:56,279 --> 01:41:00,479
Top forty. But we're we threw
so this weekend and kind and if we

1223
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:05,439
threw in some eighties music to spice
up the mood to the station. Oh

1224
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:11,199
that's cool now if I remember,
um, let me think here. So,

1225
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:16,159
as I was seeing, um,
the candidate race for the twenty twenty

1226
01:41:16,199 --> 01:41:21,359
four presidential I saw a commercial on
Twitter as I posted it on Twitter under

1227
01:41:21,399 --> 01:41:26,840
my account, I'm verified on Twitter
overall, Um, the Santas has this

1228
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:30,920
like funny looking commercial. It's like
a it's like, oh McDonald had a

1229
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:38,279
farm commercial. Um yeah, yeah, but that's I thought it was the

1230
01:41:38,319 --> 01:41:43,279
Trump campaign that had that commercial about
the Santis isn't that a Trump CAMPI it

1231
01:41:44,399 --> 01:41:50,239
it was through um the gop um
the gop um Twitter page. All right,

1232
01:41:50,279 --> 01:41:55,479
I might be thinking of a different
commercial then. No, it was

1233
01:41:55,520 --> 01:41:58,319
like, oh McDonald, I have
a farmer. Ron Santas wouldn't cut your

1234
01:41:58,319 --> 01:42:02,479
tax like says I'm tax thing like
that? Okay, he actually, Um,

1235
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:09,960
recently he kicked a lady out of
um of a rally because um,

1236
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,279
this lady asked, you can you
help me find my son? He kicked

1237
01:42:14,319 --> 01:42:20,520
him out and was totally rude.
Santism. This lady, Rhonda Santist did

1238
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:26,640
that correct? So why was so
she was asking who was who was she

1239
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:31,119
asking to help her find her son? That that was Rohndey Santez and she

1240
01:42:31,399 --> 01:42:36,960
and she he kicked her out.
Wow, Twitter, I haven't I've not

1241
01:42:38,079 --> 01:42:42,920
seen that. I'll have to check
that out. Well, you know they

1242
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:48,359
say he's not the warmest guy.
No, but if if he could beat

1243
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,920
Trump out of office, I'm pretty
happy with that. Oh, I find

1244
01:42:53,199 --> 01:42:56,960
to overall extent, I think it's
gonna be. I do think Trump will

1245
01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:00,760
corupted this country overall? I do
you think Trump will be the nominee?

1246
01:43:01,279 --> 01:43:06,159
I don't think it's going to be
De Sante or probably beat or probably beat

1247
01:43:06,239 --> 01:43:11,479
out Biden out of the prisidential rate
because that guy's during nineties. He look

1248
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:15,439
I don't know, he's uh,
he's he's eighty. I think he looks

1249
01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:18,239
good for eighty, but I suspect
he may have had some botox. I'm

1250
01:43:18,279 --> 01:43:24,479
not sure. But Trump is just
a few years behind him. But DeSantis

1251
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:27,960
is young. De Santis I think
is like forty five, forty six years

1252
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:31,439
old, So, um, I
think that, Uh. I mean,

1253
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:35,920
my feeling about it is, I
don't think either DeSantis or Trump are strong

1254
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:41,720
general election candidates at this point,
but I do think, uh, DeSantis,

1255
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:44,039
well, they come to think of
it, there's polling data that chose

1256
01:43:44,119 --> 01:43:47,439
this. Uh, DeSantis probably has
a much better chance of beating Biden than

1257
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:53,119
Trump does because I think age plays
a really big role. If if De

1258
01:43:53,239 --> 01:43:59,439
Santis is the nominee literally almost you
know, half Biden's age, that's gonna

1259
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:02,880
make Biden seem that much older and
that is going to matter to swing voters.

1260
01:44:03,159 --> 01:44:06,319
Trump is only a few years younger
than Biden, so age isn't really

1261
01:44:06,359 --> 01:44:11,880
a factor there. But De Santis
is a young man, and um,

1262
01:44:12,159 --> 01:44:14,399
I don't think he's going to be
the nominee. But if he is,

1263
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:19,520
if something happens to Trump, you
know it, well we'll see. I

1264
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:25,319
think he has a shot if he
gets to the general election. So as

1265
01:44:25,399 --> 01:44:30,439
I was thinking of with um,
with Biden in the race, with everything,

1266
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:35,239
with everything, Biden probably screwed up
our half our nation were really think

1267
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:40,800
our debt is screwed up because of
Biden pretty much. Well, that's uh,

1268
01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:47,239
quite quite reductive, Jackson. Every
every we we we accumulate massive debt

1269
01:44:47,359 --> 01:44:53,039
under every president, including Trump by
the way. Um, So I to

1270
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:57,399
just blame that on Biden, I
think is a bit a bit of a

1271
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:01,479
hyper simplification. I would say,
but uh not, well, I know,

1272
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:06,359
not really Well yeah, but that's
okay, that's your opinion, and

1273
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:10,760
you are welcome to it, sir. But Jackson, I I don't know

1274
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:14,000
if you realize it, but we're
actually almost out of time on today's program.

1275
01:45:14,920 --> 01:45:16,760
Um, but it is nice,
but it is it is nice to

1276
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,119
hear from you. It's it's been
a long time, but we do have

1277

I didn't know why you were telling
people to go to your house.
