10
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:36,920
and I am not alone. Jenny
is here at the news desk. Oh

11
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,519
I love them. Yes? Now
why now? Why that? Why that

12
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,640
we I picked that for this month
because it is Pinktober. It is breast

13
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,359
cancer Awareness month across the world,
and this is the time of year everybody

14
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,879
sees pink things coming out and actually
starts talking about breast cancer. And I'm

15
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,719
hoping to get your attention because I
want to talk to you about your men

16
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,879
in your life. Because we don't
talk about male breast cancer enough in this

17
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,000
country at all. Really, I
get offended at the fact that it's all

18
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,960
pinked up because we leave our men
out, and men do get breast cancer

19
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:17,120
out of every I believe the statistic
is one out of every thousand newly diagnosed

20
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,159
cases. A breast cancer is a
man. They have breast tissue. Men,

21
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,400
you have breasts. You do not
have the equipment to make milk,

22
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:30,319
but you have breast and breast tissue, and you do need to check yourself.

23
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,520
You should be checking your packs.
There's a lot of videos out there,

24
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,599
but you know, you're basically looking
at yourself and seeing that everything feels

25
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,680
normal. Seems normal with men sometimes
what they'll see as an inversion in the

26
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:46,479
nipple, or they may notice a
dimpling in their breast or some discomfort of

27
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:50,840
any kind. You should always get
checked out, and you know, be

28
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,520
proactive and ask your doctors if you
see something or you're not sure about it,

29
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,039
bring it to their attention and say
could this be breast cancer and make

30
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,240
them check it. That's what we
need to do to start saving lives.

31
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,120
And I'm going to drop a link
into the chat room today and I will

32
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,680
probably get this up on my own
website later. But there's a really great

33
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,520
book out there by a really great
man named Alan Herbert. Alan lives in

34
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,719
the Netherlands and he is a male
breast cancer survivor. He is right now

35
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:25,000
stage four metastatic. Unfortunately. He
wrote a really great book called The Pink

36
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:31,000
Unicorns of Male Breast Cancer and he
discusses in his book his journey through breast

37
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,240
cancer and he believes that is probably
attributed to his time in the military service.

38
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:43,520
He was a nurse and served in
the Royal the Royal Navy. He's

39
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,319
from. He was from originally from
Britain before moving to the Netherlands, and

40
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,639
he worked in a nuclear sub and
he fought in the Falcons and he believes

41
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,719
that the exposure within the sub is
most likely what caused his cancer and a

42
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,879
number of cancers among his fellow comrads. So I do want to bring attention

43
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:02,960
to that today. I do want
to talk about it, and I want

44
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,240
you to talk about it and have
the conversation. Go home, have a

45
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,479
conversation with your loved ones, your
son, your husband, your brother,

46
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,959
your buddy. This is the kind
of conversation that can save a life.

47
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,920
But you need to have them,
so please in this month of Pink Toober

48
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,040
when we talk about breast cancer,
and yes, I am grateful. This

49
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,959
is actually my ten year survival.
This year marks my ten year survival from

50
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:32,920
breast cancer. So that's that's a
milestone that we try to hit. We

51
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,800
all talk about the five year and
the ten year, so this is this

52
00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:39,800
is that big milestone for me,
and I want to use the platform that

53
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,120
I have to really highlight male breast
cancer and the seriousness of it. If

54
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,399
it's caught early enough intreatable, a
lot can be done. But oftentimes with

55
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:53,879
our men, it's not found until
stage three because they don't talk about it

56
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:58,600
because we don't look for changes in
their chest. And it's not just the

57
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,839
breast material that you you can see. You've got a lot of material underneath

58
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:05,120
their guys. So check your packs, take it seriously, talk about this

59
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,319
with the people that you love,
and check out the Pink Unicorns of Male

60
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,639
Breast Cancer. It is available on
Amazon by Alan Herbert h E R.

61
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,920
B e RT A very dear and
dear friend fighting in the Netherlands as we

62
00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:23,839
speak. Yeah. John Hopwood posted
a couple of links too. In the

63
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,319
chat room, one from ABC News
and one from oh Wikipedia about male breast

64
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:32,959
cancer, and he mentioned that Richard
Rowntree, the actor who played Shafts,

65
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:40,160
has or has had male breast cancer, and also, of course Peter Chris,

66
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,040
the original drummer from Kiss, had
it. Yeah, and there's another

67
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:46,560
big celebrity too. I can't remember
who now escapes me. But it's just

68
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:51,240
not talked about enough. And that's
why more men will die from it because

69
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,439
it doesn't get caught soon enough.
Yeah, because they're not looking for it.

70
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,879
With women, we talk about it
all the time. We have little

71
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,639
cards we can put in our hours
to remind us how to do it.

72
00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:05,000
When we go to the doctor,
everything is pink. We don't include our

73
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,480
men in the United States, and
we really need to change that. I

74
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:13,959
truly believe, actually, I truly
believe that the only reason Alan did not

75
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,199
succumb to the cancer when it initially
happen is because he is under a national

76
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,680
healthcare system that gave him access.
And I do believe that's also why he's

77
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:28,240
still with us today fighting metastatic cancer. Is because he has They don't,

78
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,120
they don't not. They pull out
every stop. There's no barrier to care.

79
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:35,560
There's no delay in care. He
needs something, he gets it right,

80
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,959
and that's how it should be here. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

81
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,040
We have a call and I think
it's our friend Billy Painter on the line.

82
00:06:43,079 --> 00:06:46,639
Hi Billy, Hey, how are
you doing good? How are you

83
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,199
welcome? All right? I had
definitely had to chime in on this conversation

84
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:59,120
because because it does hit home.
As far as any men that I have

85
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:02,560
known, Uh, I can't.
I can't say that I've known of any

86
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:09,279
cases of breast cancer with men.
However, I do acknowledge that it that

87
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,959
it is real. It's it's rare, but it is real. I'm like,

88
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
like Jenny said, well, I
think she said one out of every

89
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:25,000
one thousand, but my own mother
figure who basically raised me, who my

90
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:29,000
dad, my dad gave me over
to my aunt, his sister to raise

91
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:32,839
me when he couldn't do it.
And of course she was my mother figure

92
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:41,800
my whole young life. And uh, I'll just I'll never forget it was.

93
00:07:42,199 --> 00:07:46,399
It was what maybe a month or
two after I graduated high school that

94
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:54,160
she had revealed to me the doctor
had diagnosed her with breast cancer. And

95
00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:59,800
uh, the next the next year
was just this really bad roller coaster ride

96
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:05,079
for me and my family's you know, we're not used to seeing her wearing

97
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,600
a hat wherever she has to go, so that that was that was different

98
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:18,800
to us. And then uh uh
the chemo treatments just seemed to make her

99
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,079
just like tired all the time and
making us more worried because we didn't know

100
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,639
how to handle the situation. And
yeah, after that, things things started

101
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,519
to get we started to see some
light at the tunnel and she was getting

102
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:41,519
better. Yeah, but really the
treatments just bought her ten extra years of

103
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,320
her life because the ten years later
the cancer came back with a full vengeance

104
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:52,759
and she she only lasted another six
months after that. Oh wow, well,

105
00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:54,360
at least she got a at least
she got a good decade though out

106
00:08:54,399 --> 00:09:00,480
of the Uh so the original treatments
out, that's good. Yeah, yeah,

107
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:05,440
I mean I remember too. She
she was an devest Christian and churchgoer

108
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,440
and all that, and uh,
I hope I don't offend any atheists out

109
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,879
there. But her her final words
to me the last time I talked to

110
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:18,799
her was she said, you be
prepared to say goodbye to me. I'm

111
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:24,120
ready to go meet Jesus and that
was the last thing she ever said to

112
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,320
me. After that, she you
know, when she gradually got sicker.

113
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,919
I want to talk to her one
more time, but she was too ill

114
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,879
to even talk over the phone.
How old was she? Billy fifty?

115
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:43,120
Oh fifty? Chee much too?
Yeah. Wow, that's horrible. I'm

116
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,720
sorry you went through that. That's
that's gotta be Uh, that's gotta be

117
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,759
terrible, you know. And Matt, let me let me ask you this.

118
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,919
I mean, to you, what
is worse watching a family a family

119
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:03,559
member of years just deteriorate and fade
away like that, or something like like

120
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,519
my dad just happened suddenly and it
hits you like a ton of bricks.

121
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Oh, I think probably much worse
to watch somebody, uh, watch somebody

122
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:18,159
slowly fade away. I mean,
that's that's why did you up to that

123
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,639
person when it's time? Oh?
Yeah, yeah absolutely, But yeah,

124
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:28,039
that's that's terrible. I'm sorry to
hear that story. I hope the memory

125
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,600
is for a blessing for you and
yours and you can oh it most definitely

126
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:37,639
does, you know. And I
only think positive things about her, come

127
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,039
to think of it, it's almost
been it's been eighteen years. Since she

128
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,960
was gone. That was in two
thousand and five, and I was Yeah,

129
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,960
I was thirty years old when that
happened, so yeah, yeah,

130
00:10:52,039 --> 00:10:56,279
but yeah, to me, I
think the feeling is definitely a lot worse

131
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:03,759
to me is just you know,
whether somebody, somebody family member dies and

132
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:09,240
you know it's sudden or you know, or you're just sitting back waiting for

133
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:15,120
it to happen because you know it's
inevitable. Yeah. I mean, at

134
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:20,000
least if if someone, if someone
passes away suddenly and it's unexpected, you

135
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:24,519
know, at least then you know
they weren't suffering and you weren't watching them

136
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:30,440
suffer, which is obviously very painful. I mean, obviously there's no good

137
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,279
way to lose a loved one.
But but if it, if it is

138
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,080
sudden and and you know they didn't
suffer, that's obviously better. For lack

139
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,559
of a better way of putting it. I want to add one other thing

140
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:50,240
to this too, is that that
same year, see my Brazilian jiu jitsu

141
00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:56,320
instructor who I trained under. His
name was Dean Heilman, and I still

142
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,960
I still have the magazine He appeared
in Grappling Magazine because he was diagnosed with

143
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:07,559
cancer. I don't know what kind
it's or Jenny would know. It starts

144
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,480
with him and I can't pronounce it, but basically his started with what he

145
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,120
thought was a pimple and uh,
and then it started looking worse. Oh,

146
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:24,039
melano, melanie, melano, melanoma, probably melanoma. Yeah. So

147
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:28,799
you know, over the years,
I watched him fight it and beat it,

148
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:30,759
fight it and beat it, fight
it and beat it. And then

149
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,039
uh, you know that same year
twenty twenty, twenty zero five, he

150
00:12:35,279 --> 00:12:39,320
Uh, I think he he was
just tired, he was ready to give

151
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:45,279
up. And I was living in
South Carolina at the time. I'd call

152
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,440
in and check on him, and
he always sounded in high spirits. And

153
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,360
then just all of a sudden,
one of my former teammates called me and

154
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:58,799
said, he's gone. But what
Dean's passing did for me was it got

155
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:05,240
me prepared for my aunt's passing,
because you know, he I guess he

156
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,440
was suffering just as bad, but
you couldn't you couldn't hear it in his

157
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,440
voice when he was talking. Plus
his cancer was different than hers. But

158
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,000
it's it's like, yeah, his
his passing got me mentally prepared for what

159
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:24,840
was to come next? Yeah,
yeah, no, cancer sucks, as

160
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:31,440
they say, yeah, absolutely,
yeah, So I mean, yeah,

161
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,559
I think it is what I agree
with Jenny. It is why is an

162
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:43,799
idea that, to you know,
men should definitely get their colonopies or whatever

163
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:50,320
those those things that are ungott be
uncomfortable and also doesn't hurt to get a

164
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,440
memogram? Well, I don't think. I don't think you can. Actually

165
00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:00,720
there isn't an actual male mamogram,
right you, just the same way you

166
00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:03,320
can. There is a suspicion of
something, so oh that would lead into

167
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:07,159
what I would bring up next.
Oh oh, okay, oh, I

168
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,399
didn't know that, all right,
I'll go into that a little bit.

169
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,519
Okay, okay, cool, Yeah, I'm very curious about that. I

170
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:18,279
didn't know that. All right.
Anyway, I'm gonna drop off a here.

171
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Y'all have a good one, have
a good show, all right,

172
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:26,120
Billy, thanks for the call.
I appreciate it. All right. All

173
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,919
right, that's our friend Billy Painter
from the great State of Idaho. And

174
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,639
of course, uh he's he's on
you. You can actually hear him here

175
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,159
right here in New Hampshire on WSMN
in Nashville, right, I forgot he

176
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,879
was doing that. Yep, he
does. He does that show common sense

177
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,879
Conservatives, and he's got Patriot Confederation
and he's got Outlaw Radio. And Billy's

178
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:50,519
a busy guy, very very successful, very very successful, and brody pie

179
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,200
absolutely many pies. Absolutely. I
was just gonna let me just give the

180
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,679
studio one quickly six three two five
six zero seven six z two six zero

181
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,799
seven. If you'd like to chime
in, all right, go ahead.

182
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,840
No. So what Billy brought up
is something that I did want to mention

183
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:11,399
actually, so I'm really glad that
he'd tapped that into my brain and about

184
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:16,279
momography and every men who get breast
cancer go through the exact same things as

185
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:18,639
women who have breast cancer, but
they have to do it in a pinked

186
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:24,039
up environment. Our breast cancer senders
are one hundred percent pretty much geared towards

187
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:31,720
women. When I went to Dana
Farber after meeting Alan and our Ambrose,

188
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:35,080
who passed away last year, was
the first male breast cancer patient that actually

189
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:41,200
the one of us had met.
They get I asked him when I went

190
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,440
to Danta Farber, like, what
do you do with the guys, because

191
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,840
right when you go when I go
in for my mammogram. They bring me

192
00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:48,039
in and there's this room right you
walk right into it. There's lockers to

193
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:54,000
change your clothes with bathrooms at a
seating area where only women sit and have

194
00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:58,240
their gown tops on. So I
asked, what are you doing? It's

195
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,120
a man, he said, We
bring him in the back way. We

196
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:06,559
bring him in the back way.
Come on see, because we pinked up

197
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:10,399
the entire thing, and it shouldn't
be so pink, you know, or

198
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,519
could we make it pink and blue? Could we do something that was a

199
00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:19,960
little bit more appropriate so that every
human being who has breast material knows they

200
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:23,600
need to watching watch out for things. Some of the things that men should

201
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,080
watch out for. Specifically, I'd
mentioned about the nipple changes. But you

202
00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:33,159
might see a lump or feel some
kind of a swelling. Maybe you feel

203
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:37,919
a little swelling underneath in your armpit
redness or flaky skin on the breast area,

204
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:45,679
seeing any kind of im let's forgive
me, irritation or will I mentioned

205
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:48,799
dimpling, You might have some kind
of an imma irritation there, getting any

206
00:16:48,879 --> 00:16:55,679
kind of discharge from the nipple,
or if you're having pain in the area

207
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,200
at all absolutely get checked out.
And men, you've got to advocate hate

208
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,319
for yourself. Folks, we need
to advocate for each other because sometimes the

209
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,279
doctors don't think that way. They
think breast cancer, they ninety percent of

210
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:15,160
the time think female. They don't
think of a male breast without milk dots.

211
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,160
They only think about us, right, And this is how we teach

212
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,640
breast cancer. When we look at
it, everything is pink. And you

213
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,000
know, I'm sad that that's the
way we keep that world because it does

214
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:32,759
put people who are who have male
breasts at higher risks because we don't talk

215
00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:36,079
about it. And with women,
they used to try and push it off.

216
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Oh, you don't need to get
mammograms to you're like, you know,

217
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:41,720
fifty years old. Well now they're
recommending them at forty five, and

218
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:47,240
for some people even sooner. Younger
women are coming down with breast cancer.

219
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,079
So we need to make sure that's
awareness is raised as well. I was

220
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,920
lucky my cancer was caught on a
routine mammogram. Unlucky in the fact that

221
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,799
there was a secondary location that caused
me to have to have a non nipple

222
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:06,279
sparing radical massectomy. But if I
was a man I'd go through the same

223
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,880
thing. In fact, Alan has
had a full massectomy. He went through

224
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,240
chemo in radiation the same way that
a woman was. But he went through

225
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:21,640
it in a country that believes in
giving all the medical treatment you need up

226
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,720
front, so he got it aggressively
treated. That's not the way it is

227
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:27,839
here in the United States, unfortunately. I mean, that's what we're all

228
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,240
trying to fight for, right I
need you guys to fight. I need

229
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:33,759
you guys to fight with me.
In fact, there's going to be event

230
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:40,720
next week Wednesday, on the eleventh, is the Care over Cost event that's

231
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,799
going to happen in Pulaski Park right
here in Manchester, starting at about two

232
00:18:44,799 --> 00:18:47,720
in the afternoon. There is going
to be a march, There's going to

233
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:51,160
be a rally, there will be
speakers. We are talking health care for

234
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,440
all, health care for all.
I'll tell you guys more about that next

235
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,720
week on Monday, and or maybe
later on this week. I don't know,

236
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,240
but I just wanted to give a
heads up to you guys that that's

237
00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:04,039
coming up. So on the topic

00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,400
enjoy your Dulca tones is give us
a call at six ZO three at two

247
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,519

the way, speaking of Dulcet Tones,

248
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:45,279
that track I opened with us from
eons and coded our friend Nolan Coda,

249
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359
who is a guest on the show
not long ago, talking about that he's

250
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,200
going to be back today with I
don't know if it's the full band coming

251
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,759
or I believe, but yeah,
I'm may be mistaken, but I believe

252
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,400
so Pointless Culture. And we did
talk with Nolan a little bit about that

253
00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:04,200
project, although we mainly focused on
Ian's Encoded when he was here before,

254
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,519
because Ians Encoded as a solo project, he does at all himself, but

255
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359
Pointless Culture is the band that he's
in, and they're gonna be coming in

256
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,160
today, so we're gonna feature some
of their music and get to know those

257
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,279
guys. Obviously we already know Nolan, but I'm looking forward to meeting the

258
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:22,440
rest of the band. So they
will be in today. In the second

259
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,960
hour, great musical guest on the
program. Let's see, we'll say hello

260

00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,240
testicular cancer. About doesn't get caught
as quickly. It makes sense exactly.

299
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:29,000
That's exactly why we look for men
to have tastic year cancers. We look

300
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:32,119
for rectal cancers, but we don't
look for breast cancers and our men,

301
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,519
and that's something we need. The
only way to change that is word of

302
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:41,000
mouth is talking about it. Will
Vegas of course, Will's auto care.

303
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,839
Great, great mechanic and great guy, he says in the chat room,

304
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,920
Hello friends, great topic. Maddie
Juno, who, of course you're here

305
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,279
on the Morning Show with Peter White. Maddie Juno's brother has been fighting breast

306
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,119
cancer. No kidding, I did
not know that might be a good guest

307
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:00,200
for the topic. Interesting, Yeah, I had no idea. Well,

308
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,279
yeah, it really is more common
than you think, Sez. I mean

309
00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:06,279
we know somebody with a brother who
has it right now. Yeah. I

310
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,680
mean, like I said, one
out of one thousand is not a small

311
00:24:08,759 --> 00:24:14,240
number, right right. Ronda Fervero
says, thank you for this conversation about

312
00:24:14,279 --> 00:24:19,079
breast cancer and men. It's not
talked about enough. Let's see in that

313
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,799
book, just in case you didn't
catch it earlier, the book called The

314
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,519
Pink Unicorns of Male Breast Cancer.
It is available on Amazon. It's written

315
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,200
by Alan Herbert, someone that Matt
and I personally know, Yes, who

316
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:36,119
is actually right? Now fighting stage
four breast cancer. Jay fed from the

317
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,039
Great State of Vermont joins us in
the chat room. Hello, Isaac Banks

318
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:44,160
says, there's always interaction between these
two. Yeah, what is that?

319
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,599
He says, Jason Federson, what's
up with you? My main man of

320
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,440
yourself doing good impression of the fonds
and you can be a good comedian.

321
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,480
Oh, very nice and very reaffirming. I would say yes, yes.

322
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,519
And Isaac Banks also said, Jason
Fetterson, by the way, wear a

323
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,000
leather jacket and shave your beard off, black T shirt and jeans. Well,

324
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:10,559
you know if he wants to do
his Fonzie impression, if you want

325
00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:15,519
to make your beard. Oh and
speaking of beards, the beard and Patriots

326
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,039
is in the Facebook live chat.
That, of course is our friend Billy

327
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,880
Painter. He clarified he he only
covers on the WSMN show when Colonel Wyatt

328
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,200
is gone. He will be back
this week. So so Billy's a fill

329
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,799
it but he is on. He
fills in on a on an actual FM

330
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,680
radio show right here in New Hampshire. So that's pretty cool. What what

331
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:40,079
do you must be ahd of me? On? The comments made me get

332
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:48,680
go oh okay, uh let's see. Jason says, I've had a beard

333
00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:52,000
since I was born. Wow.
See, I'm telling you talking about the

334
00:25:52,079 --> 00:25:57,240
beard's gonna get trouble. Apparently our
friend Ron is on the line. Hi,

335
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:03,240
ron My, how you met?
I didn't want to interrupt, Just

336
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,160
wow, isn't that the coolest thing? That easy gotta visit from Amander?

337
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,039
I mean, out of all the
people in the world, Amander or boyfriend

338
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,640
or husband or whatever. I was
like, Wow, that's pretty cool.

339
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,839
You must see and that just goes
she I mean, you don't get any

340
00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:19,839
better than that. I guess what
else could I say? He's had personal

341
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,799
cop concerts from some of these folks. You know, he's a big one.

342
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:30,240
The you gotta do the dawn easy, gotta go see him. Hey,

343
00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:34,400
I know you guys aren't probably don't
able to watch sixty minutes, But

344
00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:38,799
if you have the ability to Uh, oh, Jimmy's laughing, what a

345
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:41,480
nice same wrong? Oh no,
that was that wasn't you? Oh no,

346
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:48,440
that was that was Matt's face.
But I'm saying, if you guys

347
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:51,720
have the ability to look it up, if you ever wanted to know anything

348
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:57,640
about bitcoin. Last night, they
had an interview with the the the young

349
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,759
man Sam I say his last name, I can't think of it right now,

350
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:07,960
behind big Bitcoin and God. He
went from a brazilion are downsid like

351
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:11,279
being broken, being brought on charges. Oh he's he's on his way to

352
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,319
prison. Probably yeah, almost definitely, Yeah, yeah, I didn't know

353
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,400
that, you know it interviewed him. Yeah, it was. It's worth

354
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,960
it's worth looking up. It really
is. And he's an MIT graduate.

355
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:27,359
And this is my opinion. I
don't know about other people's, but you

356
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,000
could. In my opinion, I
think he's a little bit of a savant.

357
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:37,000
He's a extrovert, you know,
he's anti not antisocial, but the

358
00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:41,119
only thing that's important to him in
his life is the Internet. And they

359
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:48,279
even commented if he could live in
a an expensive mansion with no internet or

360
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,079
living in a jail cell with just
internet, that he would take the jail

361
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,880
cell because that's his life. But
haven't watched the show. I don't know

362
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,839
if he's gonna has had they already
gone to trial, because probably not.

363
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,160
I mean, from what I saw
it, it seems like it may be

364
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:14,759
some way to avert jail time because
he wasn't operating a Ponzi scheme. It's

365
00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:22,119
just he took money in and when
when word of mouth about the bitcoin changed

366
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,119
and people wanted their money back,
he wasn't able to produce it all for

367
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:32,079
him because he had a second business
that he started and all their money wasn't

368
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:37,400
that sex and second business, but
they he didn't have the ability to legally

369
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:41,480
or whatever take it out and reimburse
and this and that. But it almost

370
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:44,960
seems like, you know, he's
he's so smart, but he doesn't know

371
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,680
how to tie his shoes. He's
that kind of guy. Yeah, he's

372
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,440
just numbers are his thing in numbers
and games. I mean, he's just

373
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:56,160
not he's not in touch with reality. But he's a he was, oh,

374
00:28:56,279 --> 00:29:04,640
this is another thing, so easy
to give out money and lend money

375
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:10,640
to anybody. Somebody even asked him. They said, uh, he made

376
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:15,680
Donald Trump an offer to give him
five billion dollars not to run again for

377
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:21,480
president. And obviously, I guess
he hasn't taken it up. You should

378
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,160
have taken it offered to pay off
his lawyer or something. If he wants

379
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,599
to give me five billion dollars not
to run for president, I'm happy to

380
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,759
sit it out. But uh,
ok, it was not much more.

381
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,920
There's not much more I could add
to that, because you have to see

382
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,440
it to understand it and to get
the gist out of it. Sure,

383
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:41,920
but again, you know, if
you guys get to spare time and you

384
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,240
can look it up somehow someway sixty
minutes, you know they do. I

385
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:49,400
thank you, you appreciate it to
learn a little bit. Yeah, yeah,

386
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:55,880
I am curious about this. Uh. We have talked about s SBF

387
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,839
on the show in the past,
and it sounds like he's accused of massive

388
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,799
fraud, like defrauding people of millions
and millions of dollars. But but but

389
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,920
I don't know. I would be
curious to see the interview. So oh

390
00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:11,240
yes, I would like it if
you did, And I would love to

391
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:19,119
hear the feedback because it's almost his
his he didn't have it almost appears that

392
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,519
he's not a fraudster and didn't have
bad attent. He just doesn't know any

393
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:27,920
better. Like they ask him for
you to have a business, one of

394
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,359
them the five basic things that you
should have, and they said, you

395
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,279
know, a CEO, he didn't
have one, board of executives didn't have

396
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,240
one, human resources doesn't have one. And then they went on and on

397
00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:45,799
and on, and you know he
he runs a business without even knowing.

398
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,640
He runs it like a lemonade stand. But you know he made rezillions off

399
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,240
of it. Yeah, he's he's
an interesting guy. That's that's for sure.

400
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,079
Yeah, we'll try to we'll try
to check that out. Run sixteen

401
00:30:56,079 --> 00:31:00,440
minutes does post on? Yeah,
you appreciate you too, you will,

402
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,200
You'll say, on Now you know
what, I'm glad I watched that.

403
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:06,359
So okay. With that being said, you know, thank you for your

404
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:07,920
time, and you guys, be
good, be safe, enjoy the good

00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,000

bye, all right. Always nice
to hear from our friend, Ron.

408
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:18,920
And that does open up the line
for you. Six zero three two five

409
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:26,200
zero six zero seven six zero three
two five zero six zero seven. By

410
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,480
the way, Isaac Banks is asking
Matt Connerton, will you get another haircut?

411
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,960
No, I've had my last one
for the rest of my life.

412
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,960
I'm just gonna let it grow.
No. Is that a bad idea?

413
00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:38,880
Do you think? Yeah? All
right, I guess I'll get another one,

414
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,200
sorry, Isaaca, Yes I will. I will get another one.

415
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:45,160
I'm in jail. What do you
mean, I'm in Facebook jail? You

416
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:49,640
are for what? Sharing your show? Oh? Yep, six days and

417
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:55,519
let clinker. So what does that
mean? You can't I can't share other

418
00:31:55,599 --> 00:32:00,480
people's content for six days? Oh
okay, stupid? Yeah, what's happened

419
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,759
before? Once in a blueboy?
Know? Do this every single day?

420
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,079
Every weekday, I share the same
thing, yeah, with a different title,

421
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:13,920
in the same places. And today
it went now smack got a jail.

422
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:17,880
Go directly to jail. Are you
sure that's the reason, because sometimes

423
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,319
Facebook doesn't even tell you what the
reason is. It says you're temporary,

424
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:28,519
temporarily restricted from re sharing posts until
October ninth at four o four pm.

425
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,720
That's usually the option. It says, if you think this doesn't go against

426
00:32:31,759 --> 00:32:37,920
our community standards, because no,
your show does not go against community standards.

427
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,920
Let us know. But when I
clicked that little thing, it gives

428
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,319
me a box to say why,
and then it won't and then it says

429
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:49,640
try again later, function not available. It's frustrating. Please try again later.

430
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,200
We could not process your requests.
By the way, Isaac Banks also

431
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:58,119
says Eric Pilcher, hope you do
a movie review of nineteen eighty eights Jack's

432
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,920
Back. He's really pushing for that, seriously push eight. Yeah, he

433
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:06,960
says hashtag Garret Pilcher nineteen eighty eight
movie Jack's Back, starring James Spader and

434
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,160
Cynthia Gibb. Now, I don't
know if that qualifies as a classic film

435
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,640
review although nineteen eighty eight, but
year didn't come out eighty eight apparently,

436
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,240
Yeah, that that qualifies as a
I think Eric, I think it's two.

437
00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:22,680
No, no soon. No.
Eric's definitely reviewed movies more recent than

438
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:28,079
that. No. Yeah, if
we make those old than we are well,

439
00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:34,519
I mean, you know, oh, nineteen eighty eight. I I

440
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,559
never even heard of that movie until
Isaac Banks started pushing for it. But

441
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,799
I did look it up and it
is a real film. But I honestly

442
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:43,839
have never heard of it either.
I have to, I have to admit.

443
00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,160
Isaac Banks also says gen Coffee.
I will be watching Cobra High season

444
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:52,119
six soon. I will be too. I will be too. Yeah,

445
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:57,359
I can't wait. It's the sixth
and final season apparently. Yeah, if

446
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,200
you'd like to get in with a
quick call six zero three two five six

447
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,279
seven six three two five six seven, we do have a great musical guest

448
00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:07,960
stock coming up in the second hour, pointless Culture, we'll be joining us.

449
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:12,599
Is it the now you went out
out to the hallway? There was

450
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:14,599
it? The full band? Or
how many people are in the band?

451
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:17,320
Four? I think negative? Ghost
rider? There is one missing? Oh

452
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,440
okay, so three three aliens must
have took him, all right, Well,

453
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:28,400
I hope not that aliens. That
would be uh. Well, if

454
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,199
they did, I hope they bring
him back in time for their next show.

455
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960
Let's see. That would be good. They usually return you, right,

456
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,079
they just after you've been probed.
I don't know, you can't he

457
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,360
gonna have to ask Nolan that question
that I don't know the kidding. I'm

458
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,760
only kidding you had you had mentioned
before the show? By the way,

459
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:49,519
Uh this uh, I'd never heard
of this guy before. Jamal Bowman seriously.

460
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,559
According to media, he stands by
explanation he accidentally pulled the fire alarm.

461
00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:59,320
If you don't know what this is
about, let me just we'll read

462
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,559
this quickly. A reporter caught up
with Representative Jamal Bowman, a Democrat of

463
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:07,480
New York Today, to ask if
he still stood by a statement that pulling

464
00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:13,559
a fire alarm in the Canon Office
building before the weekend House budget vote was

465
00:35:13,679 --> 00:35:16,360
an accident. Bowman said, quote, I don't know why this has gotten

466
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,199
so much attention. I was literally
just in a rush to go vote,

467
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,679
man, That's all it was.
Unquote. Bowman was seen on surveillance camera

468
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:29,840
allegedly pulling the fire alarm before the
vote on the House Continuing Resolution. The

469
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,000
reporter asks, quote, are you
afraid of any legal repercussions from leadership or

470
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:38,119
legally from Capitol police, and Bowman
said quote, listen, I take responsibility

471
00:35:38,159 --> 00:35:39,920
for what I did. Like I
said, I was in a rush to

472
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,239
go vote, and the investigation will
sort everything else out unquote. Bowman was

473
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:50,480
then asked if he had spoken a
House Minority leader Hakim Jeffreys about the incident.

474
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:52,679
Bowman said, quote, oh,
yeah, of course, that's standard.

475
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,559
I've got to keep that between me
and the leader, so I'm not

476
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,840
going to share that publicly. We've
been in touch with each other unquote.

477
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:07,800
Bowman's story has remained consistent throughout the
controversy. He said this previously on the

478
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,039
day that had happened today. As
I was rushing to make a vote,

479
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:13,280
I came to a door that is
usually open for votes, but today would

480
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,199
not open. I'm embarrassed to admit
that I activated the fire alarm mistakenly,

481
00:36:17,559 --> 00:36:22,679
mistakenly thinking it would open the door. I regret this and sincerely apologize for

482
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:27,280
any confusion this cost. But I
want to be very clear that was not

483
00:36:27,639 --> 00:36:31,000
me in any way trying to delay
any vote. It was the exact opposite.

484
00:36:31,119 --> 00:36:35,840
I was trying urgently to get to
a vote, which I ultimately did

485
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:43,719
and joined my colleagues in a bipartisan
effort to keep our government open. Bull.

486
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,480
You don't believe him, hundred percent, Bull, one hundred percent.

487
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,519
You can tell the difference between the
fire alarm, for one thing. The

488
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,239
thing is read and says fire alarm
very clearly on it. It's on the

489
00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,920
wall in a place for your hand
to reach it and pull down. It's

490
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,400
not one of those silver dwikies that
you slap to open the door open.

491
00:37:04,599 --> 00:37:06,559
And if you're in that kind of
a rush, why would you slap the

492
00:37:06,559 --> 00:37:08,760
door open anyway. I think it's
bull. I think he did it on

493
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:15,519
purpose, and anybody. I think
he's lying to all of us, and

494
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:22,039
what he did is absolutely, without
a doubt, dangerous and wrong, and

495
00:37:22,159 --> 00:37:27,000
they should bring his butt up on
charges. As far as I'm concerned,

496
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:31,079
pulling a fire alarm, setting off
alarms like that, especially in the Senate

497
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:36,000
building or what are the United States
Capitol buildings, people can get hurt,

498
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,320
people running for exits, people trying
to get out, people in wheelchairs getting

499
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:44,000
stuck, people getting in elevator is
not sure what's going on. Things happen

500
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:46,639
when a fire alarm gets pulled.
It's a crime for a reason to pull

501
00:37:46,679 --> 00:37:52,360
a fire alarm illicitly, Like that's
not okay. You don't you ever hear

502
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:57,000
the whole thing about free speech.
What isn't free speech yelling fire at a

503
00:37:57,039 --> 00:38:00,360
crowded theater? Well, come on, this is yelling cry fire in a

504
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,960
crowded theater. You're pulling this alarm. You're doing it. The stall,

505
00:38:05,039 --> 00:38:09,320
the stupid vote and AOC is all
here going, Oh he he was panicking,

506
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,960
he had a pianic, Give me
a break. That is not panic.

507
00:38:14,039 --> 00:38:16,280
As you pushed the door, not
you go to the side and pull

508
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:22,199
the fire alarm. So I think
it's bull I think he should be reprimanded

509
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,960
for it. It should get brought
up in before ethics and I and this

510
00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:30,480
is just the continuation of the downward
spiral of what used to be Congress.

511
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:37,599
Now I have to I'm going to
present an opposing view. I have some

512
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:43,239
empathy for the congressman. I've never
told this story publicly. It's very embarrassing

513
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,639
to me. But when I was
a child, and you know, my

514
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,920
dad listens to the show, I'm
sure he remembers this. It was a

515
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:53,920
whole big thing at Saint John's Elementary
school and conquered I once again. I

516
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:59,119
was very young. I pulled the
fire alarm as I was entering a room.

517
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,519
They caused a old ruckus and the
fire department showed up, and everything

518
00:39:01,599 --> 00:39:07,320
was old big thing and uh,
and I kept insisting I didn't mean to,

519
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:12,960
and so my dad brought me to
our family doctor, doctor Frost,

520
00:39:13,079 --> 00:39:17,800
a pediatrician, and doctor Frost determined
that and again, this is embarrassing.

521
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,559
I hope people don't make fun of
me for this. Uh, this is

522
00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:24,960
a little sensitive. But it turns
out, and perhaps the congressman has the

523
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:30,320
same problem. It turns out I
suffer from a neurological condition that when I

524
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:37,840
see fire alarm, my brain processes
that as open door. And so I

525
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,760
pulled the fire alarm thinking that because
I was trying to enter a room that

526
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,960
was locked, and it was a
whole thing. But the point being,

527
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:50,000
uh, you know, before we
judge, uh, you know, we

528
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:53,119
should know all the facts. And
uh, it's entirely possible that the congressman

529
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:59,000
is uh he has a condition that
we're not aware of, and I can

530
00:39:59,079 --> 00:40:01,760
empathize with that if that is in
fact the case. No, that is

531
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,960
not flying with me. Let me
ask you this question. How old were

532
00:40:06,039 --> 00:40:07,559
you because you mentioned your dad was
involved, I was just a little I

533
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:10,519
was a little kid. That's my
case. Yeah, they're a little called

534
00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:15,119
rown man. Well, but the
point is it was supposed to be voting

535
00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:17,559
on important issues on a fire alarm. But the point is, I mean

536
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:22,199
it's uh, you know, it's
a neurological condition. So even now today

537
00:40:22,519 --> 00:40:27,400
I have to constantly remind myself,
like sometimes I'll see I'll see fire alarms

538
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,119
and buildings and I just want to
go go, uh you know, go

539
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,079
pull the alarm to open the door, and I have to remind myself,

540
00:40:32,159 --> 00:40:35,639
WHOA wait, no, can't do
that, Matt. It might not say

541
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,559
what you think it says. It's
uh, it's very difficult. I take

542
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:44,000
medication for it to try to control
it, but it's very hard. So

543
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:46,360
I have some I have some empathy
for the congressman. Well, you may

544
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,480
have empathy, but the law is
not on his side. Well, let

545
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:55,440
me say that the lesser of three
offenses is a false emergency report under DC

546
00:40:55,679 --> 00:41:00,559
law, is a misdemeanor impunishable by
up to six in prison and a one

547
00:41:00,639 --> 00:41:06,920
thousand dollars fine. Balseley. Pulling
a fire alarm could also constitute illegal obstruction

548
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,960
of congressional proceedings, a felony under
federal law. So when the other soul,

549
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,440
when the other side is saying what
he did violates that same federal law,

550
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:21,599
they are not lying to you.
And it's not just pulled a fire

551
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:25,880
alarm. People can get hurt.
That's what sister Margharita said to my dad.

552
00:41:27,079 --> 00:41:30,800
Oh God, when he came to
the school, didn't work on you,

553
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,599
though. Did he take you to
confessional or anything, try and get

554
00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:37,960
the priest to scare you. No. No, he took me to doctor

555
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:42,519
Frost diagnosis. He should have taken
you to the church. Put you're right

556
00:41:42,639 --> 00:41:45,599
up on the sea, teach him
doctor Frost. Uh. He put the

557
00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:52,960
tongue depressor in my throat, and
he took a throat culture and took a

558
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:59,679
throat culture and said, yeah,
he's got this condition. So horse,

559
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:04,800
I'm just saying what you're calling doctor
Frost a liar. I am saying,

560
00:42:05,679 --> 00:42:12,679
I say, the days you should
respect him ridiculous. I don't. Could

561
00:42:12,679 --> 00:42:15,320
I just add one little caveat to
this, because I know we're almost to

562
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,599
the break, and I just wanted
I've been dying to say this all day

563
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,880
because I listened to Gates earlier talking
about how he wants to try and get

564
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:23,400
rid of the speaker. I read
to you what I just read to you,

565
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:28,760
the Democrats pulling the fire alarm.
I am done with this Congress.

566
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,159
They are never going to do right
by us, the American people, because

567
00:42:32,159 --> 00:42:37,199
they're not willing to work together.
Gates and his ILK says, it's a

568
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,920
crime to work with a Democrat.
So let's just halt the wheels of government

569
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,920
completely and not get anything accomplished because
nobody wants to work with the other side.

570
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:50,599
That's not how we used to get
business done in this country. And

571
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,559
that's why this so much going wrong
in this country is the people are no

572
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,320
longer working for the good of the
people. You know, used to be

573
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,440
get elected. You're elected for all
of the people in your district, not

574
00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:05,320
just the ones that vote for you. And that's what you're supposed to think

575
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,159
of. But that's not what's going
on. And I and this just proves

576
00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:13,920
the point more. This is ridiculous. This could hurt somebody and he should

577
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,920
get brought up on charge for it. If it was you doing it,

578
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,119
you damn right you'd be getting brought
up on a charge. Well, I

579
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,519
was this a little kid? Well
that's well you were a kid then,

580
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:25,440
at least as an excuse. But
at your age, if you walked into

581
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,920
the capitol and pulled the fire alarm, what do you think they're gonna do?

582
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,280
Oh, you were panicking, all
Come on over here. I'll get

583
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,559
you a lollipop. Make it out
better. No, you're going to the

584
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:38,079
clinkup. You're going in front of
a judge and you're gonna get charged.

585
00:43:38,119 --> 00:43:42,119
You're gonna have a criminal record now
because you got arrested. I didn't get

586
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:45,559
a lollipop when I did it,
that's for sure. Did you get the

587
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:47,440
stick? The ruler? Is it? At the nuns? With the rulers,

588
00:43:49,079 --> 00:43:52,239
they do that for you. They
do you so at Saint John's.

589
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,920
It was not. It wasn't like
what you know, the stereotype of what

590
00:43:57,039 --> 00:44:00,280
you see or you know, what
you see on TV and in movies or

591
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:05,480
what you read in books. Nobody
was getting whacked with a ruler. However,

592
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,519
each classroom did have a paddle,
and the principal's office did have a

593
00:44:09,559 --> 00:44:15,239
paddle, very rarely used, very
rare. Somebody had to do something really

594
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:21,039
bad to get the paddle. It
was rare. It was very very experience.

595
00:44:21,119 --> 00:44:22,360
It wasn't. It wasn't super strict. It was. It was,

596
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,679
yeah, Saint John's was. I
have no idea what it's like now,

597
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:30,119
but it wasn't. It wasn't really
that strict. It was. It was

598
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:36,199
not that it wasn't more strict necessarily
than public school. All right, Now,

599
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:37,800
seriously, did you actually pull a
fire alarm when you went there?

600
00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:43,920
I have I see you're we're talking
about a neurological condition here. Oh God,

601
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:49,159
shouldn't you know it's called It's got
some really long name. I can't

602
00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:53,000
even pronounce it. It's a favorite
none. Yeah, yeah, Sister Mary

603
00:44:53,079 --> 00:45:00,480
Elephant, she tells very good poetry. Sister Mary elephants, Yes, cheech

604
00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:05,079
and chong oh, sister Mary Elephant. I was gonna say that sounds familiar.

605
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,199
The snow kisses the morning do.
Oh that's nice, she tells poetry

606
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:15,360
m m all right, well we
are we are approaching the top of the

607
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,519
hour. We have a great musical
guest coming up. So what we're gonna

608
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:22,519
do is we're gonna show some love
to our amazing sponsors. Oh, by

609
00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:24,320
the way, Will in the chat
room, Will Vega says, I will

610
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:30,800
be watching original Magnum PI episodes for
the mustache hashtag. We say I saw

611
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:37,920
that. Yeah, Ronda says,
Matt, did your paddle have holes drilled

612
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,360
in it for maximum wattage? I
don't remember any holes in the paddle,

613
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,320
but I never really got to see
the paddle up close. I never got

614
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,559
hit. I was an angel.
I never got hit, even with the

615
00:45:46,639 --> 00:45:50,679
fire alarm, because you know,
I think they knew I wouldn't do that

616
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,760
on purpose. There had to be
a good reason. Oh. I did

617
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:57,519
have one more thing to tell you. Yes for Grace is highlighting my story

the novels M. I don't like too

650
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:27,440
much crust with my breakfast, one
glass soup, orange juice. Then I'm

651
00:49:27,559 --> 00:49:36,960
done. But when it comes to
my sweet potatoes, I know you are

652
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:44,840
the one that I take to breakfast, that I take too lunch. And

653
00:49:45,119 --> 00:50:05,000
when I'm done, I still can't
done. I don't care for these words

654
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:09,559
that I've been speaking, and I
should stop up here. What you say?

655
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:19,079
I guess I'm called even under me
this sunshine, who fell a sneak

656
00:50:19,159 --> 00:50:39,039
for breakfasts? Shine anyway. I
can't stand the rain. It's be a

657
00:50:39,199 --> 00:50:45,599
full and I can't small out of
play in the rain. I blow these

658
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:52,679
cards away from my finger ten sustained. The sunshine leaves me called under the

659
00:50:52,880 --> 00:51:09,800
shade. That's matter for the rod
has rais a passion. I don't like

660
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:16,360
too much breakfast with mccarffee, half
and half with whiskey. Then I'm done.

661
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,400
Then it's out the door. I
really hate to say I died.

662
00:51:24,559 --> 00:51:45,440
Some different synonyms for fun. I
say too much and then decide to wake

663
00:51:45,559 --> 00:51:52,119
up. It's like a gun batcies
just want drill put. I'm so well,

664
00:51:52,400 --> 00:52:00,400
take on finish what to say?
I did some trying to satisfy n

665
00:52:15,199 --> 00:52:21,760
I'll smoke a pack of day.
The doctor says, I'm gonna die anyway.

666
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:29,840
That's why I crap away. But
my lips and rooms are stayed for

667
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:47,000
sunshine. Reachs me call unnerneath the
shade less browns crazy. I can't stand

668
00:52:47,119 --> 00:53:02,840
the ray of it. That is
a breakfast song. The band is Pointless

669
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,400
Culture, and they are here with
us, alive in studio. Welcome,

670
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,920
gentlemen, Hey, good, hey, here one of you. Of course,

671
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,920
Nolan on the couch there. You
have been here before, sir,

672
00:53:15,159 --> 00:53:17,440
I have, ye, not that
long ago. Actually, was it a

673
00:53:17,519 --> 00:53:20,559
couple of weeks ago? A few
weeks a few weeks ago? Yeah,

674
00:53:20,639 --> 00:53:22,880
yeah, yeah. We were talking
a lot about Ian's and Coded and of

675
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:28,360
course, uh we did talk about
this project a little bit as well,

676
00:53:28,519 --> 00:53:30,760
but we were absolutely were focused focused
on your solo thing at that time.

677
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,599
But it's great to great to have
the full band here of Pointless Culture.

678
00:53:35,639 --> 00:53:37,880
And actually, uh, let's start
with you, sir at the news desk.

679
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,679
And it's fitting that you're at the
news desk because you work in radio

680
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,199
at at w J Y Y.
That's correct. Yeah, very cool,

681
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:50,239
full time job and I'm not doing
stuff with the band. Excellent. Yeah,

682
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,800
no, it's this has been fun. This was this started, jeez.

683
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:58,440
Harrison and I like we we go
back, not as long as you

684
00:53:58,519 --> 00:54:01,199
and Ben obviously, but we go
back to at least to twenty nineteen.

685
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,239
And you know, we met at
a at a music store. He Harrison

686
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,320
was working at a at a music
store at the time. And it was

687
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,079
funny how we met. Like I
just walked in and you know, his

688
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:16,400
name's Harrison. My name's Harrison,
and we just immediately bonded over that,

689
00:54:16,679 --> 00:54:20,199
and you know, he showed me
this riff. He's like, hey,

690
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,079
man, I got this riff.
I want you to hear really quick.

691
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:23,960
And he started playing it and I
was like, that's a pretty cool song.

692
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,239
Man. He's like yeah, He's
like, do you want to be

693
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:30,880
in a band? I'm like sure. We were both aspiring to do so,

694
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,840
and it ended up working out for
a little bit. We and a

695
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,400
life got in the way. We
we we hung out and uh, you

696
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,760
know, played for about three months
together every couple of weeks and we did

697
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:43,599
it after hours the music store,
and you know like like I, like

698
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,679
I said, life got in the
way, and we eventually just kind of

699
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:51,079
lost connection, which which sucks for
a while because I was really bummed about

700
00:54:51,119 --> 00:54:52,599
it. And I know we're just
terrible at texting each other, like we're

701
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:59,239
terrible textures in general. And so
we reconnected by you calling me a couple

702
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:00,800
of years ago, or not even
a couple of years about a year ago,

703
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:04,760
and he's like, Hey, I
got this music festival, I got

704
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,320
a play in and I really need
a drummer to back me. And I'm

705
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,119
like, uh, you still know
some of my songs? Like yeah,

706
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,119
pretty much. No, I just
have to, you know, get behind

707
00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:15,199
a kit and I'll figure it out. So hey, works, the music

708
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:20,079
festival is successful, and then we
decided to really kind of give this thing

709
00:55:20,119 --> 00:55:22,800
another go, and here we are. It's been pretty solid for about a

710
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,400
year now. So it's been a
fun journey. Excellent, excellent. Yeah

711
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,000
two Harrison's in the same bandage.
Yeah, it doesn't happen often. Yeah,

712
00:55:30,119 --> 00:55:31,239
yeah, not not the most not
the most common name. How do

713
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,400
you is one of you? Does
one of you go by Harry or both?

714
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,000
Harrison? No one, you can
explain what you came up with the

715
00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:42,800
system. It's just because you know, me being the nerd, I am

716
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:46,599
I number them in phone. I
did mention this last time. Yeah,

717
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:51,719
so they're you know, in my
context is H one and H two respectively.

718
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:57,679
So so he's aged one. Yeah. Yeah, it's based on how

719
00:55:58,119 --> 00:56:00,760
like the order that I met them
in. Ok gotcha, but simple,

720
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,639
gotcha? All right? The way
I usually do it is it's Billy Danger

721
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,519
and Harrison. Yeah. Yeah,
he has a stage name. Yeah,

722
00:56:09,679 --> 00:56:15,079
oh, Billy Danger. Uh yeah, nice? Okay, So what so

723
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:20,119
and what's your name? I'm Ben, You're Ben? Okay? And so

724
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,719
what does everybody do in the band? Well, I mean the drummer,

725
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:29,960
Harrison drums, so the dummy drum. Yeah, I'm the lead singer and

726
00:56:30,199 --> 00:56:35,400
rhythm guitarist, I guess okay,
yeah, H two Okay. I'm based

727
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,960
in vocals yea. And I just
do like the lead guitar kind of like

728
00:56:38,199 --> 00:56:43,239
play along with whatever Harrison's doing and
just trying to make it sound a little

729
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,239
bit more full. And yeah,
he also looks very good on stage,

730
00:56:46,599 --> 00:56:50,920
like beautiful, if I might say, oh, well, very nice.

731
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:54,000
Yeah, he glows. Well that's
important, that's important. So how long

732
00:56:54,039 --> 00:56:58,039
has the band been around. It's
been would you say, what a year?

733
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:05,000
Yeah, it's really started what August? Yeah, late August of now

734
00:57:05,159 --> 00:57:07,440
it kind of last manute. That's
when we first started playing, but it

735
00:57:07,559 --> 00:57:10,960
really started playing. We first started
like we officially kind of I know,

736
00:57:12,199 --> 00:57:15,079
we we we we did the handshake
on the name Pointless Culture. It was

737
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,880
probably mid August of twenty twenty two. Oh yeah, so yeah, yeah,

738
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,440
Matt, Matt. That pretty much
solidified it. We were going to

739
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,719
be called, like the original name
was Divorce Culture. Then we realized that

740
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,920
name was taken, so we did
our research. We're like, okay,

741
00:57:30,239 --> 00:57:32,199
maybe it was meant to be.
So we're like, Harrison's like pointless Culture.

742
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:36,360
I'm like, yeah, let's shake
on pointless Culture. So we ended

743
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,679
up being Pointless Culture from then on, and it really grew into the name.

744
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,119
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's
a cool name. You know.

745
00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:45,199
He said it and I was like, man, yeah, I like it.

746
00:57:45,679 --> 00:57:47,239
It sounds good. Yeah, you
know, he kind of had to

747
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:51,760
talk me into a little a little
bit, and eventually I was like,

748
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,719
yeah, no, we'll do it. And then as we've been a band,

749
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,280
it just fits so well. I
love it so much. I think

750
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,840
we kind of grew into the name
with our music and as we just keep

751
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:05,559
writing more music. And it's funny
because we have we have a lot of

752
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,400
original stuff that like came from you, that you've written in years past,

753
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:10,960
and then we just kind of added
on to it and creating this sound,

754
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,400
but just kind of you know,
advancing it even more and more. So.

755
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,519
Yeah, it's it's it's been a
pretty neat process so far and just

756
00:58:16,599 --> 00:58:20,519
kind of how we've done things.
So it's we have so much music.

757
00:58:20,639 --> 00:58:22,719
Yeah, we do a lot of
music, a lot of pretty much all

758
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:27,440
original, yeah, yeah, all
original. Yeah. And it's cool the

759
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,159
way that Nolan and Ben joined the
band, because Harrison and I were playing

760
00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:35,800
for probably like six or eight months
just the two of us, you know,

761
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,840
kind of under the name H squared. You know, we played we

762
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,000
played kind of festivals under the name
H squared. That was yeah, and

763
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:44,480
so people still refer to we go
back to that same festival every time,

764
00:58:44,639 --> 00:58:50,159
like H squared, Like we got
a new name now. Yeah, but

765
00:58:50,239 --> 00:58:52,360
yeah, these these guys are our
best friends, Nolan and Ben, and

766
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:58,039
Nolan joined i think eight six or
eight months into what we were when we

767
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,519
started Pointless Culture, and then Ben
was working second shift and we finally convinced

768
00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:05,599
him to switch over to first shift. And oh wait, you've been in

769
00:59:05,639 --> 00:59:07,960
the band for like eight months now, it's been almost a year. Yeah,

770
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:14,320
almost a year or something like that
year essentially. Yeah, I joined

771
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,119
in August last year because you played
the store over there. Yeah, and

772
00:59:17,199 --> 00:59:22,599
then he came out, Ben came
out. We started playing at your at

773
00:59:22,639 --> 00:59:25,639
your space and about February, yeah, March yeah, yeah, right,

774
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,119
yeah, so it's been a pretty
good ride. Like yeah, they lashed

775
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:32,199
right onto the songs too, Like
we had a lot of music that we

776
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,559
were already doing, and you know, Nolan and Ben coming and they just

777
00:59:36,639 --> 00:59:42,039
write their own parts for it,
and it just it what seamlessly flowed together,

778
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:44,159
I guess, is how I want
to say it. Yeah. Yeah,

779
00:59:44,199 --> 00:59:46,920
it was really nice. It was
meant to be for sure. How

780
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:50,199
many you mentioned you have a lot
of music. How many songs do you

781
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,119
have? Original songs? Would you
say? Can we playing like our biggest

782
00:59:54,159 --> 00:59:57,639
show that we could play right now
if we're not doing any covers, it's

783
00:59:57,679 --> 01:00:00,000
about two hours, but you know, the original music, yeah, wow.

784
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,760
We would love to release it to
everybody, but you know, we're

785
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:08,880
all just poor, you know,
we We've tried mat we we've tried doing

786
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,320
you know, a lot of a
lot of home recordings, a lot of

787
01:00:14,519 --> 01:00:16,480
you know, rookie demo recordings,
like you know, we we have the

788
01:00:16,599 --> 01:00:21,079
majority of the equipment, but you
know, to mike a drum kit,

789
01:00:21,199 --> 01:00:22,960
to get a drum kit to sound
the way you want it, and with

790
01:00:23,159 --> 01:00:28,440
me and how picky I am.
I like these guys were for it,

791
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,119
and I was like, no,
I just couldn't. I couldn't do it.

792
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:35,000
I just didn't have like I don't
know I could spend twelve thirteen hundred

793
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,079
dollars on microphones, but then again
just trying to find the right space,

794
01:00:37,199 --> 01:00:39,320
just all the you know, you
got to treat it right. And yeah,

795
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:43,039
it's such an art like that,
that's an art itself. And so

796
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,840
we decided to go the studio route
because you know, Harrison and Ben they're

797
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:53,800
from New London and they have recorded
with mister Jerry Putnam over at Cedar House

798
01:00:53,840 --> 01:01:00,960
sound shout out to Jerry to play
guitar when I was in middle School's amazing.

799
01:01:00,199 --> 01:01:05,159
Yeah, So Jerry kind of took
us under his wing and we never

800
01:01:05,239 --> 01:01:08,159
had a studio like a real studio
experience before and we were so excited about

801
01:01:08,199 --> 01:01:12,880
like just we're it'sching to get in
there because we wanted to record Severed Ties

802
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,719
and that was a song like we
had done demos before that. We're like,

803
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,880
it's just it's not right, it's
not right, and we gotta you

804
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,679
know, we all say it's a
couple hundred bucks whatever, and we're like,

805
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,320
I can't be that bad. And
so we went in. We recorded

806
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:30,159
Severe Ties in one day and that
was a blast. And now when we've

807
01:01:30,199 --> 01:01:32,440
been going to the studio, it's
been like two or three takes max and

808
01:01:32,639 --> 01:01:37,000
we're, wow, we're doing two
songs and you know, four hours.

809
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,679
So it's it's we've we've definitely kind
of advanced quite a bit. And I

810
01:01:39,719 --> 01:01:43,360
think that's why we keep going the
studio right now, because you know,

811
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,559
we've been able to almost record a
little more, you know, fairly it's

812
01:01:46,599 --> 01:01:50,599
been fairly inexpensive for us now,
Like you know, granted, studio time,

813
01:01:50,639 --> 01:01:53,840
mastering all this stuff. It's it's
expensive. But not if we were

814
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,639
still recording like we did with sever
Ties, I don't think we'd be doing

815
01:01:57,719 --> 01:02:00,519
you know, we we'd be figuring
something else out because it gets Yeah,

816
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,880
yeah, Jerry's been amazing. Yeah, we've been practicing our tails off,

817
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,400
trying to minimize the amount of time
we actually spend recording in the studio,

818
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,840
and it's really paying off, you
know, going in there and knowing what

819
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,039
you're doing. So we've been trying
to play live so much. Yeah,

820
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:15,760
yeah, but no, yeah,
it's it's it's been good. It's been

821
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,360
it's been a lot of fun,
a lot of learning, a lot of

822
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,559
learning. So yeah, as we
go on, Cedar House is a name

823
01:02:21,599 --> 01:02:24,719
that comes up a lot on the
show. Yeah, now he masters there

824
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,679
too, right he does. That's
the thing you know they always say,

825
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,679
like, you know, don't don't
have the same person that recorded you master

826
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:36,559
your music. And you know,
we've been kind of thinking about that lately,

827
01:02:36,679 --> 01:02:37,559
like we're like, oh do we
want you know, do we want

828
01:02:37,679 --> 01:02:40,440
him to you know, master our
stuff. But he's just he's got an

829
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,719
ear for like he's so because we
were I was a little weary at first,

830
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,880
but I getta get I gotta give
him credit, like he he just

831
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,559
here, like I asked him one
time. I was like, yo,

832
01:02:49,639 --> 01:02:52,280
Jerry, just gotta speed up the
process because we want to get this EP

833
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,840
out. We're actually full disclay like
we're we're disclosure. We're actually going in

834
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,400
and uh two weeks, two weeks
to go record two more song. Oh

835
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,039
wow, we're gonna make the EP
a little more beefier than we wanted it

836
01:03:02,119 --> 01:03:06,159
to be, which is good.
And he convinced us to do two more

837
01:03:06,199 --> 01:03:07,880
songs. We're like, all right. But I asked him, like,

838
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,800
hey, could you just throw the
same mastering settings over each song that we

839
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,079
go into or each song where he's
like no, no, no, no,

840
01:03:14,119 --> 01:03:16,639
I can't do that. It's like
each song has its own personality.

841
01:03:16,719 --> 01:03:20,199
It tells me to do different things
to it. So I appreciate because he

842
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,320
puts his time, he really does
a great job with it, and he's

843
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:27,559
he's been incredible to work with.
So yeah, that's why we at first

844
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:30,440
we're going to have someone that was
going to master it for us, and

845
01:03:30,519 --> 01:03:35,519
then he's been impressing us like crazy. So yeah, we just keep you

846
01:03:35,599 --> 01:03:37,000
know, letting him do everything for
us. It's been it's been fun.

847
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,800
True wizard. Yeah, he is
true wizard. Well I was thinking too

848
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:44,119
as you were saying that. Then
if if he had answered yes, if

849
01:03:44,159 --> 01:03:45,960
he had said, oh sure,
I can do that, then at that

850
01:03:46,079 --> 01:03:50,559
point, you really wouldn't want to
work with him, right right. I

851
01:03:50,639 --> 01:03:52,119
mean yeah, he'd be giving you
the answer that you wanted, but at

852
01:03:52,159 --> 01:03:54,280
the same time and in the back
of your mind, you'd be going,

853
01:03:54,639 --> 01:03:59,079
wait, he did I really want
him to agree to that? Yeah?

854
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,360
Yeah, it's it's uh, it's
nice having him be invested in the band.

855
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:09,800
He's very passionate about this music that
we're bringing to him, and he's

856
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:13,079
taking it the next step. And
like we have a song coming out on

857
01:04:13,159 --> 01:04:16,079
the EP called Magic Hat. Yeah, and he added all this reverb and

858
01:04:16,239 --> 01:04:19,800
echo and stuff where like we never
even asked for it, and he just

859
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:23,079
threw it in there, and it's
like, oh, that's the song now,

860
01:04:23,239 --> 01:04:25,800
that sounds amazing. Well, we
can't do it any other way.

861
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:28,840
That's the beauty of Severed Ties too, because Severed Ties. I wish I

862
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:32,119
wish I could play the original recording
of that. It sounded nothing like it

863
01:04:32,239 --> 01:04:38,239
does right now, like total three
sixty turnaround with this song, Like he

864
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,119
brought it from what we thought was
like a great you know, a little

865
01:04:41,159 --> 01:04:45,800
demo into this which probably is everyone's
favorite song when they come see us perform,

866
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,599
you know, they're like sever Tiz
sever ties like and he just he

867
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,679
changed, like he changed that song
for us, like in the best way

868
01:04:50,719 --> 01:04:55,039
possible. So it was cool,
and we give him a lot of credit

869
01:04:55,079 --> 01:04:58,400
because he's kind of shaped us along
the way. Well so often too,

870
01:04:58,599 --> 01:05:01,079
like you know, a studio engineer
will become a de facto producer. Yeah,

871
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,280
it happens. Happens by accident,
you know, but but it just

872
01:05:05,719 --> 01:05:09,480
yeah, it just seems to happen
that way. Well, maybe we should

873
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,480
maybe we should play that because I
know we were going to play that,

874
01:05:13,519 --> 01:05:16,800
and we're also going to play a
little House later too. But yeah,

875
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,280
I listen to these earlier. Yeah, this is a great track, and

876
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:24,039
since we've been talking about it,
why don't we take a break and we'll

877
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:29,000
give this one a listen. This
is uh now, this is all everything

878
01:05:29,039 --> 01:05:30,639
that we're hearing today. These are
all on the streaming services and everything.

879
01:05:30,679 --> 01:05:35,440
They're all available so so people can
find them and and it's very easy to

880
01:05:35,519 --> 01:05:42,119
find you guys online. Just google
Pointless Culture band comes right up, or

881
01:05:42,159 --> 01:05:45,559
maybe even just Pointless Culture. I
don't know, but yeah, let's give

882
01:05:45,599 --> 01:05:48,360
this a listen. This is severities
Pointless Culture, and then we will come

883
01:05:48,400 --> 01:06:14,000
back and talk with these guys some
more. Check this out, Babe.

884
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:21,760
I love you what you do your
own thing like you knew how I was

885
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:28,119
lying right from the start, but
you lapt your hand down. You kept

886
01:06:28,159 --> 01:06:35,360
playing your part. Babe. I
truly was in love with you. But

887
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:45,679
now that things are through, I
feel every color of my blue. Babe.

888
01:06:47,719 --> 01:06:54,239
Think of all the things we say. I think my love just wretched.

889
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:59,119
Ways. You took what we had
and just do it in my babes

890
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:10,920
space. Let'm see the body attitude. W it's with this our mood.

891
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,760
I never knew e before. Now
it's just me up the door. Yeah,

892
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:39,159
I've got my real sons. This
is in summery invitlude, piece of

893
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:47,119
mind. Just stuffing dies when you
decide to win truth. But after a

894
01:07:47,360 --> 01:08:02,599
summer you won't catch me crying.
Someone else has stole my eyes. Now

895
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:47,039
it's time we say good bye set
of loneness. Better than that you were

896
01:08:47,119 --> 01:08:55,920
still here too, because even I
don't turn myself up half as much as

897
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:09,520
you do. But after subot you
won't catch me cry. Someone dose is

898
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:34,760
soul my eyes. Now it's time
we sabatie. That is called severed ties.

899
01:09:35,039 --> 01:09:40,680

01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,279
with that song. Did you guys
do that all yourselves or did you hire

910
01:10:21,359 --> 01:10:24,960
somebody? All? Right, here
we go. We gotta give her major

911
01:10:25,079 --> 01:10:28,600
credit where credit is due. We
were already gonna shout her out because she

912
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,880
does so much for us. Yeah, she's It's funny. I'm a wedding

913
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:35,720
dj part time, you know,
in the summer when I can. Yeah,

914
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:41,119
And uh, I was djaying a
wedding and I just happened to meet

915
01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:43,680
this photographer there. You know,
she came over and I was like,

916
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,359
Hi, how are you. I'm
like, I'm not really wanting to make

917
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:48,000
small talk with all the vendors and
stuff. But you know, it was

918
01:10:48,039 --> 01:10:50,920
pretty laid back. So I was
grabbing food, like the one time at

919
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,199
a wedding where I actually went and
grabbed food. She was up there and

920
01:10:54,359 --> 01:10:57,479
we just started chit chatting. Well
it happened because man, we would be

921
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:01,560
so far delayed without her serve is. Yeah, I met her. Her

922
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:06,560
name's Natalie. She's owns her own
uh like media company. She does you

923
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:11,640
know, drone footage, she does
weddings, she does everything. She's a

924
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,800
great she's very very talented for talking. She's twenty one, mind you,

925
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,800
she's very young. She's actually finishing
up at Yukon UH this year. But

926
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,800
I met her and she's like,
I've always wanted to, you know,

927
01:11:21,279 --> 01:11:25,960
take pictures and like photograph a band
and stuff. And I'm like, hey,

928
01:11:26,039 --> 01:11:28,760
we need it, like we need
those kinds of services, and like

929
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,560
like I do it for free.
I told her, like I probably can't

930
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,600
afford you, though, I mean, look at what you're doing here and

931
01:11:35,279 --> 01:11:40,479
now. She she said she would
offer free services for us, you know,

932
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:45,720
because she wants to build her portfolio. So she directed and produced that

933
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,680
music video. Any professional looking photo
you see of us, which they look

934
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:54,439
amazing, it's all props to her. She's done that in her own time.

935
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,640
And she hangs out with us quite
a bit. She makes at least

936
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,319
most shows that she can make,
and you know, she's she's been a

937
01:12:00,399 --> 01:12:03,119
joy to work with him. We
can't wait to work with her. She's

938
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,720
the unofficial fifth member. Yeah,
we always call her the unofficial fifth member.

939
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:10,039
She really is. She's the best. Yeah, she's she does a

940
01:12:10,119 --> 01:12:14,000
lot for Yeah. Yeah, Natalie, she she's she's amazing and we love

941
01:12:14,039 --> 01:12:17,800
her so. Yeah. So that
music video started out as a a power

942
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,159
point that I made when we all
had a little band pow Wow at my

943
01:12:21,239 --> 01:12:25,039
apartment. One night. We were
like, all right, Severed Ties needs

944
01:12:25,079 --> 01:12:30,399
a music video, and we were
definitely drinking and it was the worst power

945
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:34,840
point probably. You know, I'm
trying to sell it to somebody the next

946
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:39,479
day. Well I've sobered up and
I just get lost trying to read the

947
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,880
script. Yeah, while we were
drinking. Yeah, it looked great,

948
01:12:43,159 --> 01:12:47,680
and you know she's asking for something, so she could start making a storyboard

949
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,560
for this because she's trying to actually
produce something out of it. Yeah,

950
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,039
and you know, we're all just
kind of messing around. Yeah, and

951
01:12:54,159 --> 01:13:00,399
so we send her this like haphazard
power point and and everything. Yeah right,

952
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,680
yeah that was my doing. I
had to add some images, but

953
01:13:03,319 --> 01:13:06,399
you know, we send it to
her, and we didn't you know,

954
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:10,560
I didn't really hear much from her
and other than you know, I'll be

955
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,800
here on this day to start filming. She shows up just all this professional.

956
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,359
You know, she has a schedule
for the whole day, she's had

957
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,600
has the whole thing planned out on
spreadsheet. It was amazing, even had

958
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:25,119
the clapboard or whatever that was.
Yeah, and then she and then she

959
01:13:25,319 --> 01:13:29,439
had hired an actress to play the
love interest. Yeah, yeah, she

960
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,720
came like wow, Okay, she
she she was on top of it.

961
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:34,439
She wanted us to be good,
and yeah, we gotta say, we're

962
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:39,079
super super impressed with her. So
she actually she's also made us a really

963
01:13:39,079 --> 01:13:41,800
cool intro video. So we play
at a venue that's got you know,

964
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,880
an LED screen or whatever able to
you know, shoot video to it.

965
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:47,960
We play that as much as we
can. Really really cool intro video.

966
01:13:48,079 --> 01:13:54,039
It like totally makes us look like
we're playing an arena gig or something and

967
01:13:54,119 --> 01:13:58,560
we're just some small little news yea. Yeah, but she she sees the

968
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:00,359
she sees the vision that we have
too, which is the cool thing,

969
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:04,159
and we get it share that with
her and she just does stuff and we

970
01:14:04,199 --> 01:14:08,760
don't have to say it and we
just love it. It's a nice relationship

971
01:14:08,800 --> 01:14:10,880
we have with her. And you
know, even if she does go off

972
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,760
to school and like la and stuff, like she's talked about like it's like

973
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,840
if you guys get big, She's
like, I'll tour with you. Like

974
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,399
so cool. There you go from
the Natalie, She's awesome. We definitely

975
01:14:20,399 --> 01:14:23,920
got to give Audrey a shout out
for sure. Yeah, just because like

976
01:14:24,039 --> 01:14:27,479
she was the love interest in the
video. Yeah, incredible, Yeah,

977
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,600
both both both of them. It's
been cool to work on these projects though,

978
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:31,479
and it just, I don't know, it just kind of shows people

979
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:35,239
a different side of like us and
like our music and as we kind of

980
01:14:35,279 --> 01:14:39,279
explain it in different ways. So
yeah, it's pretty cool. I suppose

981
01:14:39,319 --> 01:14:41,960
I should name drop the dude in
the video too. That's Matt k.

982
01:14:42,159 --> 01:14:47,079
Hill. He's my roommate and co
workers, cousin, a hundred rounds of

983
01:14:47,159 --> 01:14:51,760
Ammo and a little bit of beer. Yeow. It's pretty much all the

984
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:57,039
donation that goes into pointless culture.
Overall. It was. It was a

985
01:14:57,079 --> 01:14:59,359
great day. We did all that
and pretty much one day. Yeah,

986
01:14:59,399 --> 01:15:01,520
oh, I at least shooting it. Yeah yeah, but yeah, shout

987
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,159
out to them, all of them, mac Audrey, Natalie. Yeah,

988
01:15:04,199 --> 01:15:08,199
that's great, amazing stuff. Now
after you shot the video, how long

989
01:15:08,359 --> 01:15:10,760
was it? Like? What was
the turnaround time before he actually got to

990
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,680
see the finished products? So here's
the thing. We played a show at

991
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:17,560
the banking new Hampshire Stage in downtown
Conquered on August fourth. It was it

992
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,239
was our biggest show we've ever played, you know. It was a huge

993
01:15:20,319 --> 01:15:24,560
deal for us, and they were
kind enough to give us a headline show.

994
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:30,800
And we didn't see it until that
day, which was she We shot

995
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:35,399
at July first. She had it
done by August fourth, so it was

996
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:40,800
in sheep on top of all of
the weddings she does every single weekend,

997
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,159
so she was trying to I told
her, I'm like, no, rush,

998
01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,760
take your time yea. And but
it's funny. We'll do a photo

999
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,119
shoot with her we'll do something.
She the same night. She'll at it.

1000
01:15:50,199 --> 01:15:53,800
She's so excited she wants to get
it all. Yeah, yeah,

1001
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,520
it's awesome. But yeah, it
took about a month. Took about a

1002
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:00,119
month, and then we got to
air it not a sorry I'm thinking radio

1003
01:16:00,239 --> 01:16:05,760
terms. Then we we got to
present it and show it when we played

1004
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:10,199
our encore, which was sever ties
that night in the background. So it

1005
01:16:10,279 --> 01:16:14,079
was cool. That's awesome. It
was surreal. Yeah, it was so

1006
01:16:14,279 --> 01:16:16,600
awesome. Yea yeah. Do you
have plans to do another music video?

1007
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:18,920
We do. It's funny. We're
out in the hallway before we came in

1008
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,399
here and she was texting me and
she's like, we're gonna meet up the

1009
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:26,119
next month and talk about a breakfast
song music video. So that will be

1010
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:29,520
in the words very nice. So
yeah, we're gonna I don't know what

1011
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,479
that's going to entail, but we'll
do our fair share of brain storming and

1012
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,239
then she'll make it even better.
So all we know is that of all

1013
01:16:35,319 --> 01:16:45,880
breakfast rain, yep, maybe cigarettes
maybe yea yeah, a little flair.

1014
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,800
I think the best part of recording
that song was recording the toaster. It

1015
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:53,119
was oh yeah, I guess we'll
record a toaster like I was. I

1016
01:16:53,199 --> 01:16:58,279
got to be a fully artist and
actually like do that stuff. That was

1017
01:16:58,319 --> 01:17:00,720
the star of the whole track.
It was a if we put that if

1018
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:02,960
you're if you're interested, that's on
TikTok at point with culture. You can

1019
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,439
find the video of us doing that. We really model name everything, you

1020
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:10,479
know. Yeah, it was it
was funny did our research. Yeah,

1021
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,840
and I actually got like the little
mug and I stirred it with water and

1022
01:17:14,399 --> 01:17:16,520
yeah, it all added like I
don't want to rip this off YouTube,

1023
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:21,039
so it worked out better with yeah, that's just you know too. Yeah,

1024
01:17:21,239 --> 01:17:24,880
we were just like, what what
does the song need? Right,

1025
01:17:25,159 --> 01:17:28,600
Like maybe we should have an alarm
clock going off. No, maybe we

1026
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,720
should have bacon cooking or rain going
on the background, you know, somebody

1027
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,640
pouring some coffee and the cup stirring. And then we were like, no,

1028
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:42,920
we need a toastick. So for
those who don't skip on streaming platforms,

1029
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:44,920
that's their little gift. They get
to hear it at the end.

1030
01:17:45,159 --> 01:17:50,800
Oh okay, okay, very cool, very cool. So so right now

1031
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,760
you have singles, but eventually,
so you said you're you're probably gonna do

1032
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,760
two more tracks and then what put
out an EP, five track EP.

1033
01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:00,800
That's that's what's coming up next.
We don't have a release date. Before

1034
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,520
that X we have to go to
the studio and I should record two more

1035
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:08,600
of those songs, which should probably
take a day, and I would say

1036
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:12,840
sometime after that we're looking at probably
I don't know. I'd say we're not

1037
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:15,720
gonna give an official we gotta figure
it all out, but yeah, it

1038
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,920
would probably be like December at some
point or something around there. But yeah,

1039
01:18:19,039 --> 01:18:25,840
we're all a five track EP including
Severed Ties and two more tracks nobody

1040
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:30,520
has heard yet tracks actually, so
uh and then we're gonna eventually start working

1041
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:35,640
on an album, full length album. We're hoping, oh yeah, yeah,

1042
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,800
we want to make it. We
just want to get stuff out there.

1043
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,760
We want people to hear We gotta
flacus, man. We've every time

1044
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,159
we play a show, we're like, oh man, we we wish people

1045
01:18:45,199 --> 01:18:48,439
could hear this, you know,
you know afterwards like what was that song?

1046
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:53,920
Like it'll probably be two years until
you hear that, but it is

1047
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,560
what it is. We've had people
read as checks before it shows. You're

1048
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,720
like, we're gonna pay you six
hundred bucks to go record that song.

1049
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:02,640
So we we we do you know, we take our merch money, like

1050
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,199
we have a website, we have
you know, we use royaltyam like,

1051
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:11,119
not that we make anything on royalties. Spotify pays nothing. Spotify is helpful

1052
01:19:11,159 --> 01:19:15,319
in that sense to promote artists.
Yeah, but you know, we take

1053
01:19:15,359 --> 01:19:16,720
any money we get, you know, tips from shows, we you know

1054
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:21,199
take like we've actually I'm not going
to go on a huge tangent here,

1055
01:19:21,279 --> 01:19:28,279
but we partnered with a website called
merch Booth, and they're made by artists

1056
01:19:28,319 --> 01:19:31,000
for artists. So basically we get
really nice cut like it's it's even cuts.

1057
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,520
You know. We send them the
logos, they upload it, and

1058
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:38,960
they give us you know, social
pieces to basically promote merchandise and everything.

1059
01:19:39,039 --> 01:19:42,199
So they help us out in that
regard and it's all free to sign up,

1060
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:45,079
and I encourage us for other artists
and stuff too. It's a really

1061
01:19:45,119 --> 01:19:48,239
great program. But you know,
before we'd be on Tea Spring or other

1062
01:19:48,319 --> 01:19:53,279
websites and we'd get six bucks for
a forty dollars sweatshirt or something like real

1063
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:59,640
yeah, and merch Booth, you
know, we sell a forty five dollars

1064
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,680
sweat or whatever, you know,
but it's better quality. Yeah, and

1065
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,560
we get you know, twenty five
bucks out of that, which is great

1066
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:08,079
because and then Wow, i just
see orders come in all the time,

1067
01:20:08,119 --> 01:20:11,920
and I'm like wow because people like
it because they it's actually I realized they're

1068
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:15,840
down in Pennsylvania, so it comes
quick when they ship it. And it's

1069
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:16,880
been great. So we've been using
that. We've been making a lot of

1070
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:21,680
money off of that. So if
anyone who buys Pointless Culture merchandise on our

1071
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:26,439
website, which is the link to
merch booth, you know, we take

1072
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,239
that money and we bring it right
back into the studios. Yeah, yeah,

1073
01:20:29,359 --> 01:20:34,840
yeah, we consider ourselves a nonprofit
organization. We put every cent we

1074
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:40,039
get for the band back into recording. You know, none of us walk

1075
01:20:40,079 --> 01:20:43,439
away with anything from this, yeah, other than a big old smile up.

1076
01:20:45,279 --> 01:20:49,319
So cheesy but true, no doubt, no doubt. By the way,

1077
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:54,920
Marissa Coda is in the chat room
and says favorite song of all time.

1078
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,079
I'm not sure which one she's referring
to, though, because we've played

1079
01:20:57,119 --> 01:21:00,439
at advertise she's sang it live with
us a few times. No, actually,

1080
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,039
oh kid, yeah, yeah,
she knows the lyrics by heart.

1081
01:21:03,119 --> 01:21:08,720
She learned it on her own accord
and ever actually sang its last weekend at

1082
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,920
a show. Yeah, yeah,
I got it killed, sorry publicly.

1083
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,760
I didn't realize that she wasn't feeling
one hundred percent. Yeah, she tried

1084
01:21:15,800 --> 01:21:18,520
telling me, but when you're on
the heat of the stage, yeah,

1085
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,239
you know, you can't hear anything
other than your own voice, right,

1086
01:21:21,319 --> 01:21:24,000
And I was like, oh,
I'll come up and sing it, and

1087
01:21:24,119 --> 01:21:27,720
she sang it beautifully. But I
didn't realize she had like a little cold

1088
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,920
going on. Oh okay, I
feel bad for That's all good. She

1089
01:21:30,119 --> 01:21:33,039
she did incredible. Yeah, she
sounded awesome. She always sounds amazing.

1090
01:21:33,199 --> 01:21:36,800
Now she obviously that's my sister.
That's her sister. Okay, I think

1091
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:40,000
she was in the chat room last
time. He was. Yeah. Yeah,

1092
01:21:40,159 --> 01:21:42,399
we got a lot of friends of
family that support us. Yeah,

1093
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,800
you'll come to and stuff. It's
they just want us. Like no one's

1094
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:47,239
mom right now, shout out to
Dina. She's like, you guys,

1095
01:21:47,279 --> 01:21:53,960
are my retirement fun? Make it
big right right, try very much?

1096
01:21:54,119 --> 01:21:57,680
Try so it would be fun.
We just want to play music and like

1097
01:21:57,760 --> 01:21:59,760
it would be the dream. We'd
love to hit the road someday, just

1098
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:02,960
like go pack at you haul van
or yeah, be broke and just go

1099
01:22:03,159 --> 01:22:05,720
play venues and just I don't know, play in front of people that I've

1100
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,239
never seen it. It's like it's
it's the dream, that's the rock star

1101
01:22:09,399 --> 01:22:13,279
dream. Yeah. Yeah. Before
we get off the topic of Nolan's family,

1102
01:22:13,359 --> 01:22:15,640
we also have to give a big
thank you to Rick Coda for letting

1103
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:19,640
us practice in his basement and dealing
with us Shenanigans and all that and helping

1104
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:25,520
with sound. He he sounds kidding
cool. Yeah, very awesome, dude,

1105
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,439
awesome. Yeah, he's amazing,
way better management than I have because

1106
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:33,079
I can't manage my speakers cables.
It's good. He's kind of like he's

1107
01:22:33,119 --> 01:22:38,520
like a dad. We call him
the dad in jury. Yeah, the

1108
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:43,640
band dad. Yeah, it's good. Mike from Queen City Cabinetry, one

1109
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,800
of our great sponsors here at w
MNH, joins us in the Facebook lap

1110
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,760
chat and says good afternoon everyone,
and uh oh Dena Coda is in the

1111
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:55,399
chat room as well. Hello,
Hello, Hello, Let's see Isaac Banks.

1112
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:59,079
I think as a question for you, he says, pointless culture.

1113
01:22:59,199 --> 01:23:04,279
What's your favorite Matchbox twenty song?
Is it Long Day? Bent, Rest

1114
01:23:04,359 --> 01:23:09,960
Stop? Push Back to good or
these hard times. So he gave you

1115
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,920
a series of choice. Is this
multiple choice right? If any of you

1116
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,880
should happen to have a favorite Matchbox
twenties. I grew up with that band.

1117
01:23:16,399 --> 01:23:19,439
Yeah, like the Classics. I'm
being honest right now. Yeah.

1118
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:24,399
I grew up in the Upper Valley
in New Hampshire and my mom she'd get

1119
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:27,600
me in her Chevy Tracker. We
go down to the mall here, the

1120
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:30,039
Mall of New Hampshire, and that's
all she had, that CD player and

1121
01:23:30,119 --> 01:23:33,560
that one car is it's like a
Matchbox twenty. I like know every single

1122
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,880
song but pushed, Yeah that is
the song. Yeah, oh wow,

1123
01:23:38,039 --> 01:23:40,479
Yeah, it was funny. It's
I just it's like a core memory.

1124
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,960
I don't know why her car,
vehicle make it so, but it's so

1125
01:23:44,079 --> 01:23:45,119
specific to me. And it was
like always in that car, Like I

1126
01:23:45,119 --> 01:23:47,439
remember what it smells like, and
I remember like the exact order of that

1127
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:51,399
whole Matchbox twenty CDs she had.
It's kind of funny. It hits home.

1128
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:56,239
Oh yeah wow, okay, oh
good good answer. Good answer.

1129
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,079
Do you guys, so the rest
of you, do you have a favorite.

1130
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,479
My favorite Matchbox twenty song is Boulevard
of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

1131
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:10,880
I also love She's So Mean.
That's a great track. Terribly versed in

1132
01:24:11,039 --> 01:24:15,439
music. All I know about match
Buck, Matchbox twenty or whatever it is.

1133
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:17,760
It's what someone from Blink twenty two. Right, No, No,

1134
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:25,439
Rob Thomas, I'm wrong, man, culture uncultured. W I'll speak on

1135
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,960
their behalf. So I would say
his would be something off the first album.

1136
01:24:29,319 --> 01:24:30,720
I think you'd like Long Day a
lot. Well, listen to the

1137
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:34,520
album on the way back. I
don't know. It's because I grew up

1138
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:38,279
with the first album. Yeah,
Like I listen to that on repeat.

1139
01:24:38,319 --> 01:24:40,760
The same with their second one,
mad Season, We're Ben. I love

1140
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,000
that song Ben too. Yeah,
but I don't know. I love all

1141
01:24:44,079 --> 01:24:47,560
those. But out of that list, I would say I learned how to

1142
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:51,239
play back to Good on guitar.
Yeah. Yeah, and it's just a

1143
01:24:51,319 --> 01:24:56,439
nice calming one. But on Mad
Season. My favorite of all time is

1144
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,920
Angry, the first track off that
off that album. It's a really good

1145
01:25:00,039 --> 01:25:01,279
song. Yeah, I don't remember
that song was that? I think it's

1146
01:25:01,319 --> 01:25:04,279
underrated. Was that ever a single
or was that? I think? So?

1147
01:25:04,399 --> 01:25:08,600
There's at least a music video for
it? Was really good. I'd

1148
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:13,159
probably i'd probably recognize it if I
heard it, but yeah, that that's

1149
01:25:13,159 --> 01:25:15,880
a childhood band for me. Yeah, yeah, you know, I listened

1150
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,000
to that a lot. Kind of
it's almost similar to what you did in

1151
01:25:18,079 --> 01:25:20,319
the cut, like you ging it
with your mom and stuff. It was

1152
01:25:20,399 --> 01:25:24,119
kind of the same thing for me, like she'd have the CD. I

1153
01:25:24,159 --> 01:25:27,600
think we still have the original too. But I love that band, grew

1154
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:30,039
up with them. Isaac Banks is
also asking that pointless culture. Have you

1155
01:25:30,119 --> 01:25:39,520
ever listened to Nickelback? Oh yeah, oh yeah, another another childhood rock

1156
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:44,960
band for me too, unavoidable really
yeah, they have some bangers. They

1157
01:25:45,079 --> 01:25:46,680
really really I saw him live and
I was like, Okay, these guys

1158
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:51,720
are good. Look at this photograph
that you got that one right? Yeah.

1159
01:25:53,159 --> 01:25:56,600
I feel like two thousand and nine
was the year that that was on

1160
01:25:56,720 --> 01:26:01,119
YouTube. Ads can get out of
that song though, And finally watched it

1161
01:26:01,159 --> 01:26:05,840
and it brought a tear to my
eye. I hate I hate that song.

1162
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,760
Yeah, I like that. I
still like that if I hear it

1163
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,159
today. Yeah, that's a that's
a really good song. Actually, yeah,

1164
01:26:15,239 --> 01:26:17,359
it got weird with him, right. He married Avril Levine and then

1165
01:26:17,399 --> 01:26:23,119
they got divorced. Lucky dude.
I don't know. I mean it didn't

1166
01:26:23,119 --> 01:26:30,439
work out. They got divorced the
guy from some forty one, Which which

1167
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:35,720
guy from some forty one, like
like Levine, like the lead singer.

1168
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:40,800
Probably. Yeah. I love those
guys too. I love everything. So

1169
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:45,159
we have a question from Dina Cody. Uh. She's asking, do you

1170
01:26:45,279 --> 01:26:49,720
have musical influences or do you feel
your sound is your own? Oh that's

1171
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:54,119
a good question. It is a
good question. Yeah. I definitely have

1172
01:26:54,239 --> 01:26:57,560
a little bit of influence in there, a little Weeze are just kidding?

1173
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,359
Yeah, yeah, Oh my gosh. I when I was delivering pizzas when

1174
01:27:01,359 --> 01:27:05,079
I was fifteen years old, I
had three CDs and it was Weezer,

1175
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:12,079
Johnny Cash and Green Day. So
those are definitely some major influences. But

1176
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,960
you know, Ben and I were
in a high school band. Nobody's ever

1177
01:27:15,039 --> 01:27:19,560
heard of him or anything. It
was clydoscope pul and just playing with musicians

1178
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:24,520
in high school I think influenced a
lot of what is becoming pointless culture,

1179
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:30,600
you know, just collaborating with other
New Hampshire musicians and stuff. Also bounce

1180
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:35,720
ideas off off of each other and
all that stuffy. Yeah, definitely definitely

1181
01:27:36,119 --> 01:27:40,439
got some punk influence, but it's
a lot of blue grass from back when

1182
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,479
I was younger and all that stuff. If you listen closely, there's a

1183
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:48,119
little bit of twenty one pilots.
I'm there too, beautiful fiance Claire.

1184
01:27:50,079 --> 01:27:53,920
I was one of those guys who's
like twenty one pilots. No, no,

1185
01:27:54,039 --> 01:27:57,640
I don't listen to girl music.
What is this? That was me

1186
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,359
in high school. Now I'm the
guy that goes on to the job site

1187
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:04,199
to do construction and it is blasting
twenty one pilots and all the other guys

1188
01:28:04,239 --> 01:28:08,600
are like, what the heck is
this? You have some rappy verses,

1189
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,920
like not rappy, but more of
just you know what I'm talking about,

1190
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:14,119
like fast spoke. Yeah, yeah, stuff, it's really cool. We

1191
01:28:14,159 --> 01:28:16,319
don't have any music that's released that
has any of those. We have like

1192
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:19,399
four or five songs that kind of
feature, you know, a style like

1193
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:21,560
that. But yeah, this will
be out soon, but a lot of

1194
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:27,039
twenty one pilots. Yeah, in
a way, do you guys do any

1195
01:28:27,079 --> 01:28:30,239
covers live or I mean, I
know you've got two hours worth of virginals,

1196
01:28:30,319 --> 01:28:33,239
right, but do you ever play
any covers or actually haven't played any

1197
01:28:33,359 --> 01:28:38,680
covers? In the last two shows, we've been trying to refrain from doing

1198
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:42,000
covers because we want people to come
out and listen to our music and listen

1199
01:28:42,039 --> 01:28:44,760
to new stuff that's coming out.
Yeah, but you know, if we're

1200
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:46,600
playing a two hour show, we'll
throw a few in there. Yeah.

1201
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:51,680
It's not like we're totally hard pressed
against playing covers. It's just we want

1202
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:55,439
to focus on the stuff that we're
doing. Yeah. Yeah, of course,

1203
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,920
if we're doing those, we try
to make her make it our own

1204
01:28:59,119 --> 01:29:00,319
a little bit, just kind of
add our sound to it, which you

1205
01:29:00,399 --> 01:29:05,199
know, I think every good artists, musician, band that covers stuff should

1206
01:29:05,239 --> 01:29:08,479
do. Yeah, you know,
they say, what you got to make

1207
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,039
it ten times better than the original, or just do it your own style.

1208
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,960
You know, we've done a couple
of Weekzer covers we've done. We

1209
01:29:15,079 --> 01:29:18,560
had we had a medley at one
we did well by Cold Play, done

1210
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:23,880
by Howie Day. Yeah, yeah, I will survive the cake version.

1211
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:34,399
So yeah, everybody. But I've
always saw covers being like like he said,

1212
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:36,800
like a like H two said,
you know, like we want to

1213
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:41,239
focus on our originals. But I
think throwing in some covers will help bring

1214
01:29:41,359 --> 01:29:44,520
the crowd to more familiar space depends
on that, you know what I mean

1215
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:48,119
we are yeah, and how long
we play too, But I always feel

1216
01:29:48,199 --> 01:29:53,319
like maybe just having a few is
gonna be. It's gonna been the we're

1217
01:29:53,319 --> 01:29:55,600
able to have, we have in
our back pocket, so if we need

1218
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:58,319
them, we have them. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, We're just trying

1219
01:29:58,359 --> 01:30:01,560
to spread pointless cold. You know, we want we want to get somewhere

1220
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,640
with our own music too. Yeah, of course we want to also bring

1221
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,159
people to a space where they feel
like, oh yeah, I know this.

1222
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:11,720
Yeah, and then you know it
just has you know, it's benefits

1223
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:15,920
from that alone. I've noticed too. I mean, at least for the

1224
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,800
material that we have that we've been
playing, the songs are pretty short,

1225
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:23,359
you know, usually you know,
three minutes. Is that is that intentional?

1226
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:27,039
Because I know, you know,
some artists want to do like you

1227
01:30:27,119 --> 01:30:30,039
know, verse chorus, verse chorus
done. They there's there's an idea that

1228
01:30:30,119 --> 01:30:34,199
some artists have that you know,
it should be short. You know what,

1229
01:30:34,319 --> 01:30:39,479
what's that expression, don't bore us
get to the chorus. So I'm

1230
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:42,920
just wondering is that intentional or is
that an organic thing? Or is is

1231
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:46,039
is that just how the It's really
a song by song thing. You know,

1232
01:30:46,359 --> 01:30:48,439
we don't have a lot of music
out right now, so there's not

1233
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,600
a lot to go off of it. But yeah, that's true. Yeah.

1234
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:54,720
You know, we have a lot
of songs that are closer to four

1235
01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,840
minutes or five minutes oh okay,
yeah, by a lot. I mean

1236
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:00,880
probably like three to five our song
a handful of trail on, yeah,

1237
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:04,560
and that's when Ben really gets shredding
on the guitar. Yeah. Yeah.

1238
01:31:05,079 --> 01:31:09,119
Like one of the songs that we're
hoping to put on the EP coming up

1239
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,479
that we hope I think we're going
to record in two weeks Nightmare Telephone.

1240
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,439
Ben has a shredding solo in that
that kind of draws the song out.

1241
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:19,000
But you know, a lot of
the songs are more about telling the story

1242
01:31:19,119 --> 01:31:24,359
of the song and not so much
about blowing notes up and down the guitar

1243
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,479
neck trying to fill time, you
know, right right, Yeah. Yeah.

1244
01:31:27,640 --> 01:31:30,359
Another one is we have it's called
the Ballad. We we kind of

1245
01:31:30,920 --> 01:31:35,039
close shows with that song mostly,
and I think that's what like five five

1246
01:31:35,079 --> 01:31:38,760
and a half minutes that song,
Yeah, there is. It depends on

1247
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,920
how much we say in between,
how long we just groove it for yeah,

1248
01:31:42,039 --> 01:31:46,199
so it's very much with a capable
on the fourth or the second my

1249
01:31:46,399 --> 01:31:53,159
question because the second time, okay, that's fun. But yeah, if

1250
01:31:53,239 --> 01:31:55,359
if, if you want to hear
more of us, you want to,

1251
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:59,920
you know, see us. We're
actually playing at the Chefskin on October nineteen,

1252
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,880
excellent, less than a month now. We're gonna be down there playing

1253
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:08,000
with three or four I think I
don't have three other bands and three other

1254
01:32:08,039 --> 01:32:11,880
bands. Yeah, we're gonna be
there with with the six Z three showcase,

1255
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:15,880
so right down the street from here. It would be so awesome to

1256
01:32:15,079 --> 01:32:18,279
see out there. And we just
want to play for people. So yeah,

1257
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:23,640
see all these songs and yeah,
ask us which one you want to

1258
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:26,520
hear on the record, because we're
looking for recommendations. To me, it

1259
01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:30,439
helps, like playing our stuff live, it helps us have that direction for

1260
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:32,359
what we want to get released.
You know, we kind of gauge that

1261
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:38,119
way, like what people like more
than others, you know, and you

1262
01:32:38,199 --> 01:32:41,239
know it helps kind of steer us
in the right direction, you know what

1263
01:32:41,279 --> 01:32:47,520
I mean. So it's really fun
just having that show environment and then just

1264
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:51,039
reading the crowds expressions too, like
seeing them vibe to something they don't know,

1265
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:56,960
yeah, is not only kind of
rare, but like it's empowering for

1266
01:32:57,119 --> 01:32:59,680
us. Oh yeah, and it's
cool because we we've we finally reached that

1267
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:03,760
point last month where we saw people
in the crowd singing our songs back to

1268
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:09,960
us, which was really nice.
So yeah, that was very very surreal.

1269
01:33:10,079 --> 01:33:12,760
Yeah, it was very surreal.
That's a better word. It was

1270
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,560
super cool. Yeah, it's it's
I don't know, we're all of this

1271
01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:19,319
started was like kind of just a
hobby, like kind of just playing,

1272
01:33:19,399 --> 01:33:23,840
and then we got really serious about
Now we're really serious about it, and

1273
01:33:24,319 --> 01:33:27,319
we're just hoping you know, good
stuff from you know this point out.

1274
01:33:27,520 --> 01:33:30,119
Just I'm gonna see how what what
the what the road? I don't know

1275
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:33,640
where the road texts? Yeah exactly. I can't find words right now.

1276
01:33:34,359 --> 01:33:38,720
Thanks for speaking, but yeah,
you know what I'm saying. So we

1277
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:42,479
should before we run out of time, let's play. We got another track

1278
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:45,239
here, oh little House. Yeah, oh yeah, this is a song

1279
01:33:45,399 --> 01:33:49,359
that we actually did ourselves, not
with Jerry. Do you have good contrast?

1280
01:33:49,399 --> 01:33:53,119
Do you have the remastered version?
May I ask? Yes? Okay?

1281
01:33:53,159 --> 01:33:57,760
Good, okay? Contract between what
we is the quality that Jerry puts

1282
01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:00,920
out and what we were able to
do by ourselves risk before I was a

1283
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:05,119
band member too. Oh, this
was just me, Nolan and Harrison recording.

1284
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:10,560
Oh okay, yeah, so and
and and I'm curious why why did

1285
01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,640
you guys choose to try to do
this yourself just to see if you could

1286
01:34:13,760 --> 01:34:15,520
or well you hadn't reached out to
Jerry yet. Oh yeah, okay,

1287
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,000
we were so small, you know, we just kind of were testing the

1288
01:34:18,119 --> 01:34:21,479
waters. Yeah, I'm really sure
if we were even good yet. And

1289
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:25,600
we really want to get something out
there because like, like, like we

1290
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,840
said, we have so much music. Yeah, the painful part is trying

1291
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,159
to get that all out for the
masses in here. And you know,

1292
01:34:32,319 --> 01:34:34,279
we really want to get something out
there. So it's like, you know

1293
01:34:34,319 --> 01:34:36,760
what, let's just do it ourselves
and see how it goes. And and

1294
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:41,399
this song is enough favorite for people. Yeah, are going to re rerecord

1295
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,840
this and put it on the album
Down the Roads. Oh, we're gonna

1296
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:46,319
have a nice you know, it's
gonna be full, full, full production

1297
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:49,640
on it. Oh, very cool, very cool. Yeah, I got

1298
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:54,319
I got a new Reaver pedal recently, so I've been playing around with that

1299
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:59,600
and I'm gonna be so annoying,
like there's a sustained option, so it's

1300
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:03,119
just like ethereal sound behind every song. Yeah, oh cool, cool.

1301
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:08,279
Maybe we're gonna we're gonna delay just
for a moment playing that because Shannon is

1302
01:35:08,319 --> 01:35:10,520
on the line. She might have
a question for you guys. Hi,

1303
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:14,680
Shannon, Good afternoon, Matt,
Hello, guys, how's it going?

1304
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:19,960
Hello? All right. I was
just curious when you're playing and what do

1305
01:35:20,039 --> 01:35:24,880
you do you see colors? With
an easy has his question. I'm not

1306
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:28,159
going to ask it. Okay,
that's gonna be my question. Do you

1307
01:35:28,399 --> 01:35:33,960
see like the D chord? You
mean like synesthesia where you see uh yeah,

1308
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:39,600
sound as color? Yeah, you
guys, any of you guys have

1309
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:42,960
that? I kind of do,
like you know, like I see like

1310
01:35:43,079 --> 01:35:46,680
a b notice like a red color. You know, it's a really weak

1311
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:50,079
synesthesia. It depends on like what
the context is of a song. But

1312
01:35:50,199 --> 01:35:54,760
like, yeah, I can see, you know, some kind of image

1313
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:58,039
or color with with certain patterns.
I have a little bit of that too.

1314
01:35:58,319 --> 01:36:00,720
Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, our drummer, it is.

1315
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:05,399
I mean I don't personally, I
don't. I don't see colors, want

1316
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:14,239
to hear notes, but it is
interesting yeah, and I was on I

1317
01:36:14,399 --> 01:36:16,319
heard it on something this morning.
I said, that's gonna be my question.

1318
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:21,079
Yeah, there was U. NPR
had a big story this morning,

1319
01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:25,239
the same show I did. Yeah, I heard that. Yeah, yeah,

1320
01:36:25,279 --> 01:36:26,960
I know, I know what you're
talking about, Shannon. Yeah,

1321
01:36:27,039 --> 01:36:31,520
okay, we're friends with the band
who actually has a drummer kid Yeah,

1322
01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:34,760
and Smoky Sip. They're actually really
good. Oh yeah, there are a

1323
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:40,720
couple of our buddies that moved down
to mask. Oh okay, they're amazing.

1324
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:42,840
Well, we'll have to check them
out. Yeah. Interesting. I

1325
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:46,000
wish I could relate. I can't. Yeah, I can't relate either,

1326
01:36:46,119 --> 01:36:49,079
but I just you know, it's
there. It's cool, it's cool,

1327
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:53,279
right, all right, thank you, thank you, thank you for the

1328
01:36:53,359 --> 01:36:56,760
call. All right, very interesting. All right, so let's do this.

1329
01:36:56,880 --> 01:36:59,039
Let's give this a listen. Oh
by the way, so this is

1330
01:36:59,079 --> 01:37:04,279
remastered now to Jerry take this and
master it or no. I man Nolan

1331
01:37:04,319 --> 01:37:10,319
and I we we uh we actually
did this in one night. We stayed

1332
01:37:10,399 --> 01:37:14,199
up until two thirty in the morning
after the night after we recorded this,

1333
01:37:15,039 --> 01:37:17,760
and we thought that's that's why it's
a good thing to take a break and

1334
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:20,800
then listen to what you have after
because we're like, oh, this is

1335
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:24,800
great, this, this is great, this is fine, and afterwards were

1336
01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:29,840
like, mm, the vocals were
a little too muddy, I think if

1337
01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:32,479
you listen to the other version.
And so I took it upon myself.

1338
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:38,119
One day I had this service.
I remastered it like myself. I just

1339
01:37:38,239 --> 01:37:41,560
brought everything up. I cleaned up
the vocals a little bit. It's not

1340
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:45,520
great. The drums. The drums
still not I don't this this snare you're

1341
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:49,239
gonna hear it's terrible. It's not
good. It's not good. It sounds

1342
01:37:49,239 --> 01:37:51,800
like a Saint Anger snare or something
from a Talliger or whatever. It's not

1343
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:57,079
bad. So yeah, it drives
me nuts. So yeah, I just

1344
01:37:57,319 --> 01:38:00,760
took it upon myself. I brought
all the volumes up. I you know,

1345
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:02,840
tweaked the vocals a little bit just
to have that more clear sound.

1346
01:38:03,279 --> 01:38:09,039
And yeah, that was basically just
bring everything up. So oh yeah,

1347
01:38:09,119 --> 01:38:13,039
that's what I did it. And
we just hadn't released anything for so long,

1348
01:38:13,199 --> 01:38:15,800
and I'm like, you know what, there's a little treat. We'll

1349
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:17,520
just we'll just spice this up a
little. We'll just I don't know,

1350
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,800
we'll make it sound a little bit
better and just released it and I was

1351
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:23,800
hoping it would hold over for a
little bit until we released another track.

1352
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,279
So yeah, okay, that's the
story behind that. Well, knowing all

1353
01:38:26,319 --> 01:38:29,279
that, no, I'm really curious
to hear it again. All right,

1354
01:38:29,399 --> 01:38:33,079
So everybody, this is the remastered
version of Little House from the band Pointless

1355
01:38:33,159 --> 01:38:36,560
Culture, who are here with us
alive in studio, and we're going to

1356
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:40,079
talk to these guys a little bit
more in just a couple of minutes.

1357
01:38:40,119 --> 01:39:18,239
But let's give this a listen.
This is called Little House. I've got

1358
01:39:18,399 --> 01:39:28,319
a question living on my tort side
of asking why I haven't loved. I've

1359
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:35,920
looked in tied in my face outside
I'm scared of what calm snaws I can't

1360
01:39:36,119 --> 01:39:45,520
tell with these leather re shippers racing
dumping down my spine that close to the

1361
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:54,439
damn as line. But thou showking
at my ad mind. In the middle

1362
01:39:54,520 --> 01:40:02,920
of New Hampshire. There's this road
and the boat. It has a drive

1363
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:12,720
away and let all house and till
that little house I've got. This little

1364
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:16,680
girl actually means so much to me. She's the center of my world.

1365
01:40:21,279 --> 01:40:28,039
I've got about a dozen carrots for
the clothes I wear on the floor of

1366
01:40:28,199 --> 01:40:34,720
my hair, but underneath this fa
stare, I know my life is pretty

1367
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:43,279
fair. I've got it down.
I can walk on matter tows, battle

1368
01:40:43,359 --> 01:40:50,199
track through the sounds, but when
they're worn down, I'm couch bound for

1369
01:40:50,399 --> 01:40:58,199
you. All s tells. Down
in the middle of New Hampshire, there's

1370
01:40:58,319 --> 01:41:11,279
this road and that phone. A
tried boy he had little house ten That

1371
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:15,159
little house I've got. This little
girl actually means so much to me.

1372
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:47,279
She's the center of my world.
That is little house remastered of course,

1373
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:51,880
pointless culture here with us live in
studio and uh no, I was saying,

1374
01:41:53,119 --> 01:41:57,439
uh. I was saying to h
one over here, I see what

1375
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:00,199
you mean, or I hear what
you mean about the snare, but I

1376
01:42:00,319 --> 01:42:01,760
don't think it sounds bad. You
know, it sounds a little different,

1377
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:04,039
but I like it. It's it's
you know, it sounds just kind of

1378
01:42:04,039 --> 01:42:08,199
stripped down and raw. It know
it does. And it almost has like

1379
01:42:08,319 --> 01:42:12,000
that one mic technique like when you
drum, when you mike a drum kit.

1380
01:42:12,079 --> 01:42:15,359
Almost sometimes drummers use like one mic. Yeah I don't. I actually

1381
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:18,920
think I have a full microphone kit
for the drum set, but I think

1382
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:23,079
only three of them were working,
so okay, yeah, it's kind of

1383
01:42:23,119 --> 01:42:25,520
I think that's why it sounds like
that. But I don't think it sounds

1384
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:29,720
that bad for a you know,
just a attic recording that we did.

1385
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,399
Yeah, yeah, it was pretty
good. Yeah, it's got that attic

1386
01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:36,359
recording kind of ye, but I
like it. Yeah, it was good.

1387
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:39,439
It was good. Like and I
was just telling you, uh,

1388
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:44,079
you know, Matt in between here
that we recorded that a year ago this

1389
01:42:44,319 --> 01:42:48,000
Friday. So we've changed a lot
of this song doesn't sound uh, it

1390
01:42:48,039 --> 01:42:51,199
doesn't really sound It sounds the same, but it doesn't sound the same.

1391
01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:56,119
I've put more technical drum parts into
it. We all kind of just gotten

1392
01:42:56,159 --> 01:42:59,880
better over the past year and just
kind of grown with this music over time.

1393
01:43:00,079 --> 01:43:02,479
So yeah, yeah, No,
it's it's always a like a I

1394
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:04,479
don't know if i'd say a fan. Do we have fans? We probably

1395
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:09,000
just have fault. I don't know. It's like it's like a fan favorite,

1396
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,039
you know, people like it.
So yeah, yeah, yeah,

1397
01:43:12,079 --> 01:43:14,880
people singing along your songs live.

1398
01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:17,920
some fans. Cool. I think

1411
01:43:55,239 --> 01:44:00,119
October nineteenth. That's the only show
we have scheduled so far. We've just

1412
01:44:00,359 --> 01:44:01,680
we just went through all of our
summer shows, so we just wrapped that

1413
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:05,880
up last weekend. Yea. But
other than that, you know, just

1414
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:09,359
look out for more music. Stream
the breakfast song. You know, you

1415
01:44:09,399 --> 01:44:12,600
go on YouTube, Spotify, whatever
you listen to your music on, you

1416
01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:14,840
know, give us a follow.
It really helps us, like you know,

1417
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:18,119
the Spotify algorithm. Uh, it's
it's very important to artists. And

1418
01:44:18,119 --> 01:44:24,800
I take our Spotify account very seriously
because it really helps artists grow. And

1419
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:29,560
at four hundred and ninety nine monthly
listeners as of today, so we can

1420
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:31,319
get to five hundred by tomorrow.
That would be cool. So you know,

1421
01:44:31,399 --> 01:44:34,000
give us a follow on Spotify,
Apple Music, you know, anything

1422
01:44:34,079 --> 01:44:39,000
helps, and uh stream our music

1428
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:58,760
So yeah, we also want to
give a little shout out to our friends.

1429
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:01,399
You know, as important as important
to us that it is that you

1430
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:04,319
listen to Pointless Culture. We want
you to go listen to all of our

1431
01:45:04,319 --> 01:45:09,239

got if you look on Spotify, m

1432
01:45:09,399 --> 01:45:12,520
Forrest that's Max Barrett. He just
released an album. He's our neighbor.

1433
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:16,000
Musical genius. And then our friends
in Nashville Smoky Sip. And then we've

1434
01:45:16,039 --> 01:45:19,920
got a buddy that lives right and
I think Bradford or Warner right next to

1435
01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:24,600
where I grew up, Austin Hardy. You could find them playing at uh,

1436
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,840
you know, local restaurants and stuff. But yeah, they all put

1437
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:30,920
out amazing music, and I think
everybody should open up their eyes and realize

1438
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:34,840
all the amazing music that's coming out
of New Hampshire around them. Oh yeah,

1439
01:45:35,119 --> 01:45:38,560
yeah, absolutely. Before the top
of the hour, before we hit

1440
01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,319
that, I just want to say
thank you to our friends and family who

1441
01:45:41,359 --> 01:45:44,199
have supported us in this journey.
I know it's a lot, like we

1442
01:45:44,319 --> 01:45:45,680
have a lot of band practices.
There are a lot a lot of weekends

1443
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:48,680
taken away and we're we're you know, doing band stuff and you know,

1444
01:45:49,199 --> 01:45:53,520

would it be. You know, it's

1445
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:56,840
it's a lot you know on the
girlfriends sometimes our family and whatnot. But

1446
01:45:57,640 --> 01:46:00,439
they're supportive because we you know,
we have this common goal in mind to

1447
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:02,600
you know, maybe make it someday
and you know, make something out of

1448
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:05,199
us. Even if even if we
don't, we're just happy and very content.

1449

With what we're doing, so yeah, you know, whatever happens happens,

1450
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,479

be where we are today if it

01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:16,199
