9
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,640
By the way, that was that
track open with. That's nostalgia from

10
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,959
Eons Encoded, which is really just
one guy. We're finally going to have

11
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,840
have that gentleman in with us next
week on the show for an interview,

12
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,239
and looking forward to that because I
said to Jenny yesterday, you know,

13
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:42,760
we've been playing his music for a
couple of years now and he probably has

14
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:49,799
no idea, but I love I
love the project so much. Eons Encoded

15
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
if you're looking for them online,
and if you don't know how to spell

16
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,200
eons, it's a E O N
S and then encoded as obvious. But

17
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:00,879
just such a unique sound. And
whenever I where I play his stuff,

18
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:04,319
I say his because it's it's one
guy who does all the instruments. And

19
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:09,639
he's got another band two called Pointless
Culture. So anyway, looking forward to

20
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:15,240
looking forward to that next week.
Uh, let's see Hans Smith in the

21
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:22,560

41
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:44,840
hey, guys, let's see.
Eric Pilcher of course is in the chat

42
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,360
room, as he will be with
us shortly via Skype. He says,

43
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,960
I was told there would be punch
and pie. I don't know who told

44
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:00,479
you that, Eric, but I
have neither to provide. Let's see and

45
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,039
uh oh. And Eric also says
started reading The Exorcist today. Found a

46
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,800
first edition hardcover at Half Price Books
this past weekend. I assume Half Price

47
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,040
Books is some sort of used bookstore
in the area, Hans Smith interested in

48
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:18,879
knowing where the food is, well, not here. We're actually not supposed

49
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:23,639
to have food in here, So
there you go. Six three two five

50
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,160
six seven is the studio line six
Z three two five six zero seven.

51
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:30,959
Oh. By the way, just
in case I forget to mention it tomorrow,

52
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,959
I'll try to remember tomorrow because tomorrow
is the actual day. But in

53
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,000
listening to the Morning Show with Peter
White, I heard Bill Seaney say that

54
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:44,560
tomorrow is Ali Seeny's birthday or also
known as Ali Boudry. She was a

55
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:47,519
guest on the show not long ago
here on this program, and so very

56
00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:55,240
talented. Let's see, and I
think Eric is with us. Eric,

57
00:04:55,319 --> 00:05:00,720
is that you? Yes, it
is all very good, welcome, thank

58
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,000
you, it's it's great to be
on after a week off which was unfortunate.

59
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,399
Ah, yes, yes, you
had a lot going on last week.

60
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:15,439
Yeah, just a lot of work
stuff with the hurricane. Yes,

61
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,199
was not was not a fun week. Yeah doesn't it doesn't sound it.

62
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:26,240
We should clarify too. So you're
you were not aware the hurricane is,

63
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,959
but your job, because of the
nature of your job, you were you

64
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,399
had to help with things. Basically
what I work for uh Cable company here

65
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:45,879
in seat of Rapids, and my
official job title is a Customer Service Representative

66
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,319
Level two, which means ideal with
angry customers in the retention department. Yes.

67
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:59,279
Uh, but what happened was,
of course, the hurricane hit an

68
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,120
area of joy especially hard. That
area, Georgia houses our customer one of

69
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:13,079
our customer service call centers, and
has a very large customer base with the

70
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,279
company I work for. So we
were inundated with calls and missing about fifty

71
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:26,759
people because the call center was closed
because the lack of power and damage to

72
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,360
the building. Okay, you scared
me there for a second when you said

73
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,519
you were missing fifty people. I
was afraid maybe they had gone to help

74
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:36,759
with the hurricane and something happened to
them, or maybe they'd been sucked up

75
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:42,720
by a UFO or something. No, not at all, goody good.

76
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,240
I probably would have done even more
over time if they would have told us

77
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,040
they were sucked up by UFOs.
Yeah, I mean I assumed, I

78
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,879
mean that was one of the obvious
things to assume might have happened. But

79
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:58,000
no, I'm glad. So they
just lost power. That makes sense,

80
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,199
That makes sense. Yeah, So
uh I guess. Uh, the building

81
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,279
is still closed, but a majority
of the reps are now able to work

82
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:14,680
from home. So that's good.
So things are calming down a little bit

83
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,000
because we at least have the people
on to help now. Now, so

84
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,560
do you do you work strictly from
home or do you have to go to

85
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:28,399
an office. It's it's kind of
weird in a sense. Seventy five percent

86
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,439
of the time I work from home. Okay, I have to be in

87
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:33,680
the office one week a month.
It's a lot like the National Guard.

88
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,600
Okay, yeah, yeah, one
week a month, I have to be

89
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:44,079
in the office. Yeah, so
next week actually my week in the office.

90
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,480
Oh okay, yeah. I was
curious because there's it's it's interesting how

91
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,680
this has changed. You know.
At the height of the pandemic, it

92
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:58,000
seemed like there was this almost this
renaissance, this uh awakening in in the

93
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,639
world to the idea that employees can
work from home and be just as if

94
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,000
not more productive, and then and
it was going to kind of just change

95
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:13,480
the way business operates. People would
never be going back to the office in

96
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,959
theory and whatnot. And then over
the last especially in the last six months,

97
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,600
it seems like there's been this big
pendulum swing in the other way where

98
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,160
now a lot of business leaders who
are saying, no, actually, this

99
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:28,519
doesn't work, and we need to
either go with a hybrid model with our

100
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,360
employees, which it sounds like that's
what you have where you know, one

101
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,399
week out of the month you have
to spend it at the office or some

102
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,320
places. In fact, one of
those, ironically enough, being Zoom.

103
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:46,200
Apparently Zoom is making their employees return
to the office. And of course this

104
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:52,639
is all happening now though, as
we're going back into COVID season, because

105
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:54,679
unfortunately, COVID is likely to be
with us for the rest of our lives,

106
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,879
I feel. But yeah, it's
interesting how the added tudes have shifted

107
00:09:00,919 --> 00:09:05,720
because I thought during the pandemic,
when all these business leaders were talking about,

108
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,080
hey, you know, we've got
our employees working from home full time

109
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,519
and it's actually pretty cool and it's
cheaper for us and we're not providing the

110
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:16,159
overhead and whatnot, I thought we
were going to have almost possibly a collapse

111
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,600
in commercial real estate because I figured
all these office buildings that are going to

112
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,080
be sitting there empty. Now you
know, obviously these companies aren't going to

113
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,159
renew their leases on these buildings if
they're in a building they don't own,

114
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,519
and so forth. But but then
that didn't happen, and now you know,

115
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,759
a lot of these companies are making
making people go back to the office

116
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:43,879
at least part of the time.
I mean the company I worked at previously,

117
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,879
and we've talked a great deal about
them on the program they were.

118
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:54,720
I think it depends on the company
as well, on how productive the employees

119
00:09:54,759 --> 00:10:01,000
are. Yeah, I mean,
I feel like at this company, I

120
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:07,960
have more support working from home,
whereas at my previous company there was none.

121
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,399
It was like, you know,
it was almost as if working from

122
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:20,240
home gave them carte blanche to dict
to dictate when you worked and when you

123
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:24,720
didn't, it's like, oh,
you work from home, you can work

124
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:31,120
over time. Well, no,
it doesn't work like that. It really

125
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:37,840
doesn't. When I had COVID and
it hit me really hard, I and

126
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:43,159
I was working at that time,
third shift. My manager messaged me and

127
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,480
been like, you know, you
are working from home, and it's like,

128
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:58,799
yes, I'm well aware that,
uh that I that I could work

129
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:03,440
from home, but I feel miserable
and I can't stay awake for longer than

130
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:09,559
four hours at a time, and
their response was, well, that's still

131
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:15,879
four hours you could be on the
clot such compassion. Huh. I'm like,

132
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,360
okay, you know, no,
I'm not going down this road.

133
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,840
This is a stupid conversation. Well
yeah, especially it's it's it's especially stupid

134
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,399
for an employer to treat somebody that
way in a time when it's really an

135
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:37,440
employee's job market. You know,
it's it's the world is your oyster if

136
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,519
you want to leave a company and
find a new job. You know,

137
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,279
we've been sitting at three and a
half percent unemployment for a while now,

138
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,279
and yet even under those conditions,
there there are still people in management who

139
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,600
just don't get it. It's baffling, it is, and I was that

140
00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:01,679
was probably the beginning of the end, certainly, well that I do know.

141
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:07,360
I spoke with my therapist a great
deal over that one, because I

142
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,480
was shocked, like, well,
that's four more hours you could be on

143
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:16,120
the clock, like, you know, like, oh, I can barely

144
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:24,200
breathe, I'm coughing, I'm just
downright miserable. Yeah yeah, so yeah,

145
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,759
yeah, it sounds like that manager
just assumed that you had mild symptoms.

146
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,039
It's probably where the breakdown was there. I assume I actually was pretty

147
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:41,279
direct with them that it was severe, that I was coughing, having difficulty

148
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:48,039
catching my breath, very fatigued.
War down. I mean because I filed

149
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,600
a we had short term disability insurance
and I filed the claim. Yeah,

150
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,720
so I had to tell them,
well, so what happened with the claim

151
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,559
then? If if they were still
making you work? Did they deny the

152
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,879
claim? No, didn't work because
I'm like, no, I feel miserable.

153
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:13,879
I am not coming in for just
four hours because you say I can

154
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:16,360
wait. They have so so they
had the system in place where you could

155
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,799
file a claim and then they just
deny it and make you work anyway.

156
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,639
No, I won the claim.
It's an independent company. But I'm sorry

157
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,159
if I haven't been clear. I
had to Basically I had to tell them

158
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:33,080
the symptoms and everything, and hey, I have COVID. This is how

159
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,799
I'm feeling. My doctor says,
I am to be that I should not

160
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:43,639
work right now or work as tolerated. Oh okay while I recover. And

161
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,360
I'm like, so I am going
to really recover and take that time to

162
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,320
recover. Yeah, And I did
that because I'm like, I have heard

163
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,960
of people that are like, after
after a week, after like three or

164
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,759
four days, they're like, Okay, I feel fine, I'm back at

165
00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:05,480
it, and it just caused greater
health concerns and I didn't want that.

166
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:11,399
Yeah that, Yeah, you mentioned
that. That's interesting because that is one

167
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:13,519
of the seems to be one of
the really insidious things about covid is.

168
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,600
Unlike other types of viruses, where
you know, if you get a regular,

169
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,080
if you get a cold or a
flu virus, usually you know,

170
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:26,759
you feel really terrible and then you
gradually start to feel better, and once

171
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:30,759
you start to feel better, you're
good. Like even if you even if

172
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:33,080
you don't really take good care of
yourself, once you start feeling better,

173
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,240
you know, with a cold or
a flu or anything like that, strep,

174
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,840
throat, whatever it is, you
know, you're you're you're you're on

175
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:45,120
your way, you're you're good.
But with COVID it seems like a lot

176
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,919
of people do experience this thing where
they start feeling better and they think,

177
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,080
okay, good, I'm on the
I'm on the upswing here, and then

178
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,679
all of a sudden they feel even
worse than they did when they first felt

179
00:14:54,679 --> 00:15:01,639
sick. It's it's it's awful.
I definitely and attest to that. Yeah,

180
00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:09,519
I felt that. I know it
took like it took like it was

181
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:18,000
like three weeks after. I remember
just feeling really really dead, like Dray

182
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:24,320
war down. Yeah. I called
my family doctor and I'm like, hey,

183
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:26,919
here's what I'm feeling. Do I
need to come in? And he

184
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,879
said no, he's like it.
He goes it, he goes. I've

185
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:37,559
kind of coded it in my office
as COVID rebound. Oh okay, he

186
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,559
goes a lot of people feel that. Uh, Eric, we have a

187
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:48,039
call. Our friend Ron is on
the line. High run. Oh I

188
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,679
thought Ron was on the line.
I guess he's gone. Never mine,

189
00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,919
call back if you want to run. I think I hear him, Matt,

190
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:08,360
do you hear Ron? I heard
something. I don't know. I

191
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,440
don't know. You know, I'm
fortunate, what good? I think that

192
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:18,159
the start of your show was possessed
by demons? Oh yes, I do

193
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,240
remember that. Maybe the mention of
the Exorcist has brought that back. That

194
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,919
could be also too. We have
this satanic portal which you can't see on

195
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,679
camera for those watching online, but
it hovers directly across or above me,

196
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:37,120
I should say, I think Ron
is back on the line. Ron,

197
00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:42,000
is that you Yes, I'll be
brief. I just caught on that Eric

198
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,399
Scott Covid. Yes, my right? Or am I wrong? Uh?

199
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:56,159
Yeah, you're wrong? What what's
that? Well? Did we lose it?

200
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,159
What is going on? I heard
Eric, and I thought maybe that

201
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,039
I heard or understood that he caught
Covid. That's what I was getting at.

202
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:10,240
Oh, oh, Eric, are
you still there? Yes, I'm

203
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,799
still here. Oh okay. Everything
went weird with the audio and at the

204
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,440
at the exact same time that that
was happening, I was distracted because somebody

205
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:22,680
was putting. Somebody just slid something
under the door here, and they're they're

206
00:17:22,759 --> 00:17:26,400
like waving at me through the window. And sometimes people don't realize, you

207
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,400
know, I'm in the middle of
a radio show. I'm not going to

208
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,200
run to the door and see what
you want. But anyway, yes,

209
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,440
uh so, yes, Eric to
answer Ron's question, Well, go ahead,

210
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,880
answer Ron's question if you would.
No, I'm sorry to hear it.

211
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,039
If you do. No, I
had I had COVID back in February

212
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,960
of I want to say twenty two, Yeah, February at twenty twenty two

213
00:17:53,440 --> 00:18:00,039
so it was. That's when I
had it, and it was probably the

214
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:06,079
sickest I have ever fell. Oh
no, yeah, it was us.

215
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,160
I just wanted to say one more
thing. Yes, I was flipped upping

216
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:15,960
on the radio yesterday and I'm almost
positive in what I heard that there's cases

217
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,720
of tuberculosis coming back through mosquitoes.
Did you catch any event? I feel

218
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:25,799
like I heard something about it,
but I don't know. Do you know,

219
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,240
Eric, have you heard this?
I have not, but that brings

220
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:34,440
back some fond college memories for me. One of my the dean of our

221
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:41,559
journalism department in the two year college
I went to, had this innate I

222
00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:48,160
don't know if innate's the right word, but this irrational fear of tuberculosis.

223
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,759
Anytime someone coughs, she would ask
if they've been checked for tuberculosis? No,

224
00:18:55,079 --> 00:19:00,160
probably a hypochondriac. Oh yeah,
you know. Probably people used to

225
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,359
grave rob you know, steeal open
up the graves. Yes, and back

226
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:11,400
in the days, and many people
died of tuberculosis and the foreign particles were

227
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:17,319
buried with them in their caskets,
and these people that were digging them up

228
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:22,039
and grave robin were catching tuberculosis.
Oh my, of all the ways to

229
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,880
catch tuberculosis, that sounds like the
most horrifying, getting it while digging up

230
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,920
a grave. I mean, who
needs it? Man? I don't know.

231
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,960
I think if you are going to
be the individual that digs up a

232
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,799
grave, you kind of deserve.
You kind of get what you deserve.

233
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,519
Well. If yes, if you're
going to up a grave, then you

234
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:51,880
get tuberculosis, then you know,
I would say karma has taken its course.

235
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,400
Well, the trick is to be
smart and wear a mask and gloves.

236
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,400
Gentlemen, have a nice day.
I don't want to hug the radio.

237
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,200
It just I have. For the
short time I heard it, I

238
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,319
thought, Wow, my employ Eric's
got COVID. I didn't realize it was

239
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,759
something from the past. Oh,
I got you. So everybody stay healthy,

240
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,400
enjoy Bessie day. And and I'm
a listener. All right, thank

241
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,559
you. I appreciate the call.
And that does open up the line for

242
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:18,839
you. Six zo three two five
ozho six zero seven six zo three two

243
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,960
five six zero seven. You know
I've been fortunate, Eric, I still

244
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,359
have yet to Uh. I've never
tested positive for COVID. I assume I've

245
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,039
had it uh and just didn't know
it. Because I'm vaccinated and probably just

246
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,279
had it and was asymptomatic, you
know, but I've yet to actually officially

247
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:41,599
have it. My memory of it
is I announced it on your show.

248
00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:47,160
Oh, then you had COVID.
Yeah. The listeners of your show were

249
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,000
the first ones to find out.
Wow, even before your employer. I

250
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,039
have to tell you, I'm honored. I'm honored by that listening and laying

251
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:03,839
on the couch when they called me. Oh, and you're you're shocked when

252
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,720
you hear it, and then you
get the results email to you that hey,

253
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:10,759
you have something in your my chart. Yeah, and you're like,

254
00:21:10,839 --> 00:21:14,799
okay, and you look at it
and you're like, oh beautiful, yeah,

255
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,240
and you're I really was shocked,
and you oh, I had to

256
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,119
tell someone. And I saw the
blinking cursor under write a comment, and

257
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,680
I'm like, I have COVID.
Yeah. I still think I had it

258
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:30,640
back in you know, because I've
told the story on the show before.

259
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,920
But on Christmas night of twenty nineteen, before we knew that it was actually

260
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,240
in the United States, I ended
up in the in the emergency room with

261
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:41,000
difficulty breathing, and they told me
I had asthma and I was having an

262
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,279
asthma attack, and I had never
had asthma before, A little unusual at

263
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,480
my age to be diagnosed with asthma. But I think I had COVID and

264
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,640
they just, you know, they
didn't know, they didn't know anything about

265
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,440
it yet, and obviously there were
no tests for it because we didn't even

266
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,759
know it was in the United States. But I think I think I had

267
00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,440
COVID and it permanently did something in
my lungs. And that's why even today

268
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,200
I still use a maintenance and hailer
once a day, and I carry a

269
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,200
rescue and hailer and I've never had
asthma before that. Hey, Matt,

270
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:15,960
were you a patient zero, then
no, whoever I caught it from might

271
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:22,920
have been sure. Sure, that's
what That's what patient zero would say,

272
00:22:23,319 --> 00:22:30,039
right, Yes, that is exactly
what patient zero would say in my opinion.

273
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,160
Now, Melanie law Liberty in the
chat room says, you know,

274
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,599
we were talking a little bit about
working from home versus going to the office.

275
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,880
She said, I am way more
productive at home, super love it.

276
00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:45,079
Going to the office for no other
reason but to look at someone's face

277
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,559
makes no sense to me. Yeah, it depends on the person though,

278
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:56,240
because yeah, some people say that
they get lonely working from home or only

279
00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:03,160
from home. But I've also read
stories about how some people, if they

280
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,480
work at a job where there's a
hybrid model, you know, they might

281
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:10,440
have to go say, say they
have to go to the office one day

282
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,200
a week, but the one day
they go, maybe they're going on a

283
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,920
Monday, but there's nobody else there
on Monday because everyone else shows different days.

284
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,839
So it's like they go, they
go to the office out one day

285
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,839
out of the week to be around
people, and then there's no people there

286
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,880
for them to be around, and
they're like, oh, might as well

287
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,119
have stay at home and save myself
the commute. So I guess there is

288
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:33,960
no perfect answer. I despise most
of my co workers, so I wouldn't

289
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:41,200
be perfectly content staying home. Yeah, Like I yeah, I just I

290
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:52,480
can't because yeah, they are just
they're they're the people that sit there and

291
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:56,440
think and just everything's negative. Oh
really, yeah, that's no good.

292
00:23:57,039 --> 00:24:04,960
It's just like okay, I mean, if your life sucks that badly,

293
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:11,519
you have a chance to change in
right, don't like why just why come

294
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:17,200
to work? You're already miserable because
you're at work. Why come to work

295
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:22,200
be miserable and add to that misery
by just complaining about how crantastic your life

296
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:27,720
is, right right, I just
I don't understand it. And that and

297
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:34,240
my attitude when after I was let
go from my previous position, was my

298
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:40,119
attitude is this, You guys get
me for forty hours a week. That's

299
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,920
eight hours, five days a week
at Anything outside of that is my time

300
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,359
unless you mandate otherwise. I'm not
going to volunteer for over time. I'm

301
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,400
not going to come to company gatherings, and to be quite frank, I

302
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,880
really don't need any more friends.
So I'm not here at work to make

303
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,920
friends. I'm here to make my
early wage, make my commission, and

304
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:08,720
go home and enjoy life. And
they they don't like that attitude. They

305
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,319
seem to think that I have to
be friends with them. And it's like,

306
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,799
no, I would not hang out
with you outside of work. Melanie

307
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,839
just said in the chat room,
Wow, Eric sounds like a delight to

308
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:29,519
work with. They I'm really not. I want you go to work and

309
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,440
just kind of bet and if if
like there was someone cool that I worked

310
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:41,759
with that I had interests with,
or like didn't act like someone fresh off

311
00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:47,680
the Mari Povit show. I'd be
all for it. I mean, I

312
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,480
swear these are the peace the people
I work with a majority of a Mari

313
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,720
Povitch said, no, you're too
much for this program. Oh so,

314
00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:57,880
do you ever have to sit with
somebody at the office and tell them that

315
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,079
they're the father or not the father? Is that what you're saying? Do

316
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,680
they make you do that? No, I don't have to do that.

317
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:11,079
But sometimes I wonder if they would, the way they talk, if they

318
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,519
would be qualified to be on that
show. I see, I see,

319
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,960
Melanie said, I wouldn't be able
to listen to WM and AH if I

320
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:25,400
had to go to the office too, I would quit over that BS.

321
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,920
Yeah. I when I worked from
home, I try to check in on

322
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,039
my tablet during your program. Well, if I'm in the office, I

323
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:42,519
cannot because again they're also very nosy
people. Yeah. Like I'll be sitting

324
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,680
at my desk reading a book in
between calls, and they'll be like,

325
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:52,680
what are you reading a book?
Oh? What's it? What's it about?

326
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:57,519
What's it called? Well, I'm
reading it, so let me read

327
00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:04,200
it. Oh boy. But they're
they're just trying to get to know you.

328
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:08,400
I don't want to get to know
them though. Well it sounds like

329
00:27:08,519 --> 00:27:11,720
it sounds like you make that pretty
clear to them. Are they are they

330
00:27:11,799 --> 00:27:18,720
just stop persistent? I know,
I think I made it pretty clear in

331
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:21,920
our chat room last week when I'm
like, I really don't like any of

332
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,319
you. Oh, Melanie said,
I am starting to think, Eric,

333
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,279
is the problem at the office?
Is that what's going on here? Eric?

334
00:27:30,319 --> 00:27:37,880
Are you the problem at the office? Could be like next week is

335
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,799
like customer Service Week where they're cleaning
all of these events in everything and they're

336
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,279
like, oh, yay, you
know, Eric, you should come Wednesday.

337
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:51,920
We're having a cook out and then
we're going to spare time afterwards.

338
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,720
And I'm like, no, that's
my day off. Yeah. I don't

339
00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:00,440
want to go come into work on
my day off just or a free burger.

340
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,599
Oh see, I can I can
be bribed with food. No,

341
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000
not when I live right by a
world class meat market that grills burgers every

342
00:28:12,079 --> 00:28:18,279
day. You're making me hungry.
Yeah, Miriam says in the chatman that

343
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:19,440
was scary, Matt. I remember
you talking about that on the air.

344
00:28:19,519 --> 00:28:22,599
Yeah, when I ended up in
the er and Rocky Humor is in the

345
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,039
Chatman says, I remember I was
really worried. I found a box of

346
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:32,440
masks in my backpack. I don't
know how they got there, L O

347
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:34,799
L. And gave them to Matt
and one to my parents. Yes,

348
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:41,079
I remember that. Rocky. Melanie
is asking, wow, do you tell

349
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160
do you tell kids there is no
Santa? On the way home too?

350
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:55,319
You know? You know why I
Dion Sanders. Actually there's a video of

351
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,720
him where he's talking about that,
where he's like, I never let anyone

352
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:04,880
else take credit from my hard work. So he never let his kids believe

353
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:11,039
in Santa. Oh. Interesting,
So he told his kids, well,

354
00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:18,839
I'm in. His kids play on
Colorado's football team, and so he's like,

355
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,000
who who was Sanna? And they
go, you were? Who was

356
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:29,279
the tooth fairy you were? Who
was the Easter Bunny you were? And

357
00:29:29,319 --> 00:29:33,680
he's like, because I wanted them
to know my hard work provided for them,

358
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,440
right right. Carol Zawarowitz is in
the Facebook live chat. Hello,

359
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:44,160
Carol, let me give the studio
line six zo three two five six zo

360
00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:47,400
seven six zo three two five zero
six zero seven. It's Wednesday, So

361
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,000
we're talking with my favorite conservative Eric
Pilcher. But if you'd like to join

362
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:53,319
us see studio line is open for
you. Six zero three two five zero

363
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:57,400
six zero seven. Eric, have
you been following this at all? With

364
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:03,599
the there's no now been In Colorado, a group has filed a lawsuit to

365
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,000
try to keep Trump off the ballot. Have you've been following this? No,

366
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,759
I have it, But one of
my good friends, Jordan's, told

367
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:18,720
me that Florida is doing the same
thing. I didn't know that, but

368
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:22,200
I know, I know there's there's
talk about it in various places. I

369
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,160
think, Yeah, I was talking
about it on the show. Was it

370
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,599
yesterday? It must have been yesterday, or maybe it was the day before,

371
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:33,000
maybe it was last week. It
all runs together, but there's you

372
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,079
know, one of the difficulties.
Oh, because there was talk about it

373
00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:38,680
here in New Hampshire too. Oh. Hello to Exile the Icon in the

374
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,359
Facebook live chat. I don't know
who you are, but that's a very

375
00:30:41,359 --> 00:30:47,680
cool name, Exile the Icon.
Maybe they are from Greensboro, North Carolina.

376
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,400
Not with a name that cool,
Greensboro, North Carolina. They have

377
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:56,640
names like Eon Venom four and uh
New New Force of the Spark. No,

378
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,880
Exile the Icon. That's a cool
name. That's not like that can't

379
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,720
be Greensboro. By the way,
Melanie says in the chat, I can

380
00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:07,400
see Eric at nursing homes. You
know you're probably gonna die soon. Oh

381
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:12,799
my goodness. Yeah, you don't
do that to you. Eric. I'm

382
00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:17,519
never gonna work in a nursing home
because that would be me right right.

383
00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:23,160
Listen, Oh, Bessie, you
are like ninety five. Is it really

384
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:27,920
gonna matter in the green scheme of
things if you take a nap and miss

385
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:36,000
this episode of Matlock you have watched
twenty times over right, No, it's

386
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,640
not. Shut up, take your
false teeth out and go to sleep.

387
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,599
Yeah, but at ninety five,
it's probably new to Bessie every time she

388
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,880
sees it, you know what I
mean. That's not a me problem.

389
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:53,680
And besides, someday that will probably
be the age of our future president.

390
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,799
Will probably elect a ninety five year
old president at some point in the future

391
00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,480
of the way this is going.
Oh yeah, I totally agree. Speaking

392
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:09,200
of the presidential candidates, we're having
a president Trump in vivic Ramaswamy come to

393
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:16,160
our Iowa versus Iowa State football game
this Saturday. Ah, Now, do

394
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,200
you know which one will be rooting
for? Iowa, and which one will

395
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,079
be rooting for Iowa State. Well, Notre Dame plays at that time,

396
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:32,000
so I could care less. Ah, but but I'm sure they will both

397
00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:37,839
be rooting for Iowa State because that's
where the game is played this year,

398
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:43,759
it's played in Ames, Okay.
I imagine the vague will probably approach Trump

399
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:47,599
and give him a big bro hug. Yes, and hopefully he doesn't wrap

400
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:55,960
Eminem rightly said, do not do
that ever again. Hello to Marco Mueller

401
00:32:57,039 --> 00:33:00,359
in the Facebook live chat from the
band Factory of Art, to see you,

402
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:05,319
Marco. Sorry, I just said
we're we're transcontinental, you know,

403
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Eric, I feel I feel like
we're getting a lot of different, uh

404
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,759
different areas today. This is really
cool. Yes, although I would never

405
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:20,279
use the term transcontinental in front of
Governor Rond de Santis. He might misunderstand

406
00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:23,039
what I was referring to and get
a shut Oh man, he might ban

407
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:28,559
you, man, he might.
He might. You might be like right

408
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,400
under Mickey Mouse on his list of
vitriol. That's right, that's right.

409
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,440
Yeah, there's a Talking Points Memmo
is reporting a new lawsuit seeks to enforce

410
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,720
disqualification clause against Trump in Colorado.
I don't think any of these are going

411
00:33:45,759 --> 00:33:49,519
anywhere, though. I don't think
they'll be successful. I know there's efforts

412
00:33:49,519 --> 00:33:52,319
in different states to try to do
this, but I don't think it's going

413
00:33:52,359 --> 00:34:00,599
to work. Do you where where
to me it'll get interesting is if how

414
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:07,280
someway one of these gets in front
of the state Supreme Court, because the

415
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:15,960
Supreme Court just rules on law,
that is it with no outside influence or

416
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,840
no supposed outside influence, however you
want to view that, and to mean,

417
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:28,119
that's going to be very interesting because
if they are, because if he's

418
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:36,480
indicted on charges that he was already
put up for impeachment for, things are

419
00:34:36,519 --> 00:34:43,239
gonna get very dicey for President Trump. I agree with you, I don't.

420
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,639
I think it's much ado about nothing. I don't think anything is going

421
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:51,199
to come of it. But I
think if we get word that it goes

422
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:57,679
to the Supreme Court somehow, that's
when I think things get really interesting and

423
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,639
then it's really worth worth paying attention
to. To the US I'm sorry,

424
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:06,519
do you mean to the US Supreme
Court or do you mean to to these

425
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:10,239
different state courts? State supreme courts, different state supreme courts? Okay,

426
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,199
because it has to go through them
before it goes to the US. Yeah.

427
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:21,199
So I mean if it gets to
the States, that's when it's going

428
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,800
to be like, oh, okay, let's see what happens here. Elijoneg

429
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,639
on CNN, the legal expert there
there seems to be their their lead legal

430
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:36,119
analysts through cold water on this whole
thing last week, saying that part of

431
00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:39,119
the problem with this and trying to
use the fourteenth Amendment for this and saying

432
00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:45,559
that that because of January sixth,
obviously Trump is barred from running. Part

433
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:50,519
of the problem is it's never been
tested, so there's no mechanism to even

434
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:55,199
enact this in the in the different
states, unless individual secretaries of state or

435
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:04,199
state attorneys general want to make a
unilateral decision that under the fourteenth Amendment it

436
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,320
is their judgment that Trump should be
kept off the ballot. But but that

437
00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:10,599
and then I suppose in that case
it would go to the state Supreme Court.

438
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,360
Uh uh in any of those states. But that's a. It's a

439
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:23,480
it's pretty unlikely to uh. And
I could totally see this happening. I

440
00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:30,320
could see President Trump wearing this like
a bad badge of honor. Of course,

441
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,679
if it were would go Jesse.
He would be like, you know,

442
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,920
I had a I had to have
the Supreme Court make a landmark ruling

443
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,719
on my eligibility. This is how
they're this is how they're trying to stop

444
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:53,599
us. Yeah, yup, put
another million in his bank account. Oh

445
00:36:53,679 --> 00:37:00,039
yeah. Yeah. The more the
more bad legal news he gets, I

446
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:04,800
mean, we've never seen anything like
this in our lifetimes, the more it

447
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:08,920
helps him a good job of painting
himself as the victim. Yeah, he's

448
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:15,320
a martyr. He's he's effectively martyred
himself. And it's, uh, you

449
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,639
know, none of it helps him
in the general election, but it ensures

450
00:37:19,639 --> 00:37:22,679
he'll be the nominee. He's now
got a bigger lead than ever. I

451
00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:27,800
mean, the rest of them might
as well drop out right now. To

452
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,679
be honest with you, I mean
it's he's there's no way he's not going

453
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:39,239
to be the nominee. There's no
way. Yes, And you know it's

454
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:49,079
it's just sad like it, I
really do. And I've made this comparison

455
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:59,119
before. He really the people he
attracts for the most part are those that

456
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:05,360
are disin franchise with how their lives
are. Oh yeah, yeah, and

457
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:09,800
he does that it. I call
it this, and if I offend anyone,

458
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,000
I truly am sorry. That is
not my intention. I am not

459
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:20,480
a shock jack. I just this
is what I look at it like.

460
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,559
I call it Hitler syndrome, because
that's how Hitler got to power. He

461
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:35,800
really targeted those that felt disenfranchised and
got them to follow him by a giving

462
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:43,679
scapegoats and b saying I have solutions, I alone can fix it. Yep.

463
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:50,760
Yes. But what Trump does is
he says, oh, oh,

464
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:55,360
They've targeted you, They're targeting me. I'm wanting you. I'm going through

465
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:02,039
what you're going through. We can
band together take on the machine. And

466
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:08,000
it's like these people don't realize Donald
Trump is now a part of the very

467
00:39:08,039 --> 00:39:15,760
machine that they think is keeping them
down. Well, it's also too,

468
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,559
I mean the bizarreness to me,
and I've thought this from the very beginning,

469
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,480
is they they treat him like he's
some sort of working class hero to

470
00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:31,440
them, and he's a billionaire.
You know it ever worked a day in

471
00:39:31,559 --> 00:39:35,400
his life? Right, he was
born rich. You know, they'll say,

472
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,119
well, look at out successfully as
well. You know, if you're

473
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:43,079
born into a rich family, you're
going to be rich. It's you know,

474
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,760
and I'm not Look, I'm not
a big class warfare guy. I

475
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:52,239
don't begrudge anyone there their wealth,
be it earned or inherited or however they

476
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:58,440
got it, as long as long
as it wasn't illegally. But but but

477
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,559
but to treat him like he a
hero to the working class, you know,

478
00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:07,639
if you're if you're a right leaning
person, that is It's just from

479
00:40:07,679 --> 00:40:12,480
the very beginning, I was like, why, why is it? Is

480
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,199
it because he's a celebrity. I
guess that's what it is that must be,

481
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:22,320
But it's bizarre. It is very
bizarre in regards to class warfare.

482
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,559
I totally agree with you, Matt. I've never gotten behind that. And

483
00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:32,599
the reason is is because I grew
up in what now would probably be considered

484
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,880
then it was considered a working class
neighborhood, but now it probably would be

485
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:47,119
considered like an impoverished area. But
I know so many, so many people

486
00:40:47,159 --> 00:40:52,079
that grew up just like I grew
up, that are now making six figures

487
00:40:52,119 --> 00:40:59,840
a year that are very successful.
They were welfare babies that lived off foods.

488
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,159
I am said, first of the
month checks. But they decided they

489
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,480
were going to do better, and
they made that choice to find a way

490
00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:15,400
to do better for themselves. Yeah, so I don't go with that whole

491
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,519
Oh, if you're born poor,
you stay poor. And the reason is

492
00:41:20,639 --> 00:41:24,760
is because I've seen it more go
the opposite than I have seen it not.

493
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,519
Now, I will say there are
some those individuals that are that are

494
00:41:30,559 --> 00:41:36,960
dead due to their own life choices
or in prison again their own choices,

495
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:45,000
but a majority of them have become
super successful. I think that, you

496
00:41:45,039 --> 00:41:49,840
know, I always say, I
mean, I consider myself a patriot,

497
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,039
and I love my country, and
I believe in the American dream. I

498
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:57,480
believe in all of that, and
I do believe I'm a true believer in

499
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,719
the sense that I've always believed that
you really can in America, you can

500
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,000
grow up to be anything you want
to be. Having said that, though,

501
00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:08,440
I do think that, you know, because I always say, you

502
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,920
know, you shouldn't go too far
to one end or the other with this

503
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,840
stuff. So while I do I
do feel that way, I also think

504
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,519
that there's a hell of a lot
of data that shows that over the decades

505
00:42:20,559 --> 00:42:23,719
it has gotten much tougher, So
I believe it's all still attainable. But

506
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:30,599
I also believe that income inequality in
this country unfortunately has grown the the wealth

507
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:36,079
at the very top has become more
and more concentrated, So there are some

508
00:42:36,199 --> 00:42:38,840
real problems. So I still believe
in all of it, but I think

509
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,760
it's but I do think it's gotten
much tougher, and I think it's I

510
00:42:44,199 --> 00:42:47,599
think it's I think the wealthy and
the elite uh in many respects, and

511
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,719
you know, and we have a
system that kind of protects them. I

512
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:57,280
think they've made it tougher. So
that's why, Well, while I believe

513
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,880
in the American dream and all of
that, I also very much believe in

514
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,599
things like unions and workers rights and
all of that kind of stuff too.

515
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,159
It's gotten certainly tougher, But I
will say I believe the American dream is

516
00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:14,800
still there. You're you just have
to work harder to get it right.

517
00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:20,559
But you also have to grow up
in an environment that teaches you that.

518
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,760
And I unfortunately, I think,
because I think it can be the nature

519
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:30,920
of poverty is if you're in an
impoverished if you grow up in an impoverished

520
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:36,239
environment and you don't have an opportunity
to you know, because when you're when

521
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,800
you're a kid, you don't know, if you don't have an opportunity to

522
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:44,320
connect with mentors or people to just
be a positive influence on you. You

523
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,440
know, that's why some people in
the inner city, you know, they

524
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,519
turn to selling drugs to make money
because that's what they're taught and that's all

525
00:43:50,559 --> 00:43:52,880
they know. So I think that, I think were there are a lot

526
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:57,199
of problems. So I do agree
with the whole. Yeah, you know

527
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,920
the American dream and you know,
work hard and you can do it.

528
00:44:00,039 --> 00:44:01,679
But I also think that. But
I do think we have a lot of

529
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:07,960
problems to systemically in our economy to
address. Certainly, Melanie in the chat

530
00:44:08,039 --> 00:44:12,719
room says, I bet they are
successful because they go to work barbecue's after

531
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:17,039
work. Maybe maybe I should holler, maybe I should hire Melanie as my

532
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:22,719
life coach. Yes, I think
you should. She is. I mean,

533
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:24,000
she's got all kinds of advice.
I mean, if you look at

534
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,599
the chat room on any given day
or look at her her Facebook page,

535
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:35,440
she's got tons of fantastic advice.
I'm gonna say this, I will give

536
00:44:35,639 --> 00:44:42,280
on air Melanie law liberty credit and
a lot goes to do jerk Don for

537
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,119
this as well. And I mean
a lot of people know this many some

538
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,719
may not, but he is one
of my best friends. Yes, we

539
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,559
love Dirk. I miss I missed
Dirk. Actually I've known him for over

540
00:44:54,599 --> 00:45:02,519
fifteen years. Ye so, but
she really awakened my love, reawakened my

541
00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:09,559
love of horror films with her competing
in the face of horror, and that

542
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,039
really is something that I had been
missing, among other things. We talked

543
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:22,280
on Sunday briefly about that, Matt, but yeah, so yeah, I

544
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,960
will give Melanie a lot of credit
there. Yes, yes, Jenny said,

545
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,760
oh yeah, pick the chick with
the stuffed animal collection to rival Freddy

546
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:38,199
Krueger. I'm not a fan,
so I'm really not. I love Jason,

547
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:45,159
I love Michael Myers, I love
weather Face, but not a Freddie

548
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,559
guy. I can't. I can't
deal with any of those movies, even

549
00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:51,119
when I was a kid. I
don't. I don't get it. I've

550
00:45:51,119 --> 00:45:53,760
said that on the show before.
I make no judgments, but I personally

551
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:59,239
I slasher movies. I just I
don't get it. I don't. I

552
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,679
don't get it how you I don't
know how you watch that. I just

553
00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:07,800
don't. I actually have something that
I wrote about when I was in college

554
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:16,199
called slasher theory. Yeah, for
a slasher to be successful, you they

555
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:24,159
have to have and they have to
be sympathetic. You have to have sympathy

556
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:32,239
for them. Like let's take for
example, Leatherface. Leatherface comes from a

557
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:40,280
family of in bread cannibals. Which
one is he from? Which what franchise?

558
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,119
Massacre? Okay, I've never seen
it, but that probably doesn't surprise

559
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:47,639
you. But okay, so that's
Leatherface, gotcha? But yes, and

560
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:53,559
obviously he is, if you've seen
the films, a developmentally challenged individual.

561
00:46:53,960 --> 00:47:00,199
That premise has actually been hit home
pretty hard in the prequels. So there

562
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:07,199
is a level of sympathy. Michael
Myers is an individual who was possessed by

563
00:47:07,519 --> 00:47:12,519
an ancient Indian curse as a young
child. Well you can't. You can't

564
00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:17,000
hold that against him. That's not
his fault. So level of sympathy.

565
00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:27,039
Jason Vorhees dot drowned while two camp
counselors were having relations and not watching him,

566
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:34,119
and so there again that aura of
sympathy they have. All Right,

567
00:47:34,199 --> 00:47:37,320
I have to admit, I have
to admit if I were Jason Vorhees,

568
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:42,639
I'd be a little bit bitter.
And Freddie, you don't have that.

569
00:47:43,199 --> 00:47:47,599
Freddie diminishes that. Why because here
is a guy that was arrested for child

570
00:47:47,639 --> 00:47:58,800
abuse, was acquitted due to a
technicality, and the townspeople barricaded him in

571
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,760
his home and burnt the home down
with him in it. He was a

572
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:08,239
child abuser of the worst kind.
Yeah, so okay, so he's not

573
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:14,559
sympathetic. I will say this.
I don't know which Freddie movie and I'm

574
00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:16,559
are an Elmstreet movie it's from.
But I am a big fan of the

575
00:48:16,599 --> 00:48:22,400
song Love Kills by Vinny Vincent Invasion. Of course, Vinny Vincent was fresh

576
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,239
off his stint with Kiss, so
I might be biased, but uh yeah,

577
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,960
I can't. I can't. I
can't deal with those movies. Oh,

578
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,920
Melanie is sticking up for Freddie.
Melanie says he was burned alive,

579
00:48:34,159 --> 00:48:38,199
have a soul. She included another
word in there. I can't say.

580
00:48:38,159 --> 00:48:45,519
Yeah. But at the same time, yes, what the parents did was

581
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:51,480
wrong, but that doesn't doesn't generate
sympathy. It's like, you did this,

582
00:48:52,039 --> 00:48:55,920
you should have been found guilty.
Yeah, And then he's just this

583
00:48:57,119 --> 00:49:02,719
wise cracking killer invading people's dreams that
had nothing, just because they're the kids

584
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:07,920
of the people that burned in Oh
is that? Why? Is that how

585
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:12,519
he chooses as victims. That's why
they're called the Elms, the kids of

586
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:16,039
Elm Street. Oh, I didn't
know that because I have seen I have

587
00:49:16,119 --> 00:49:19,960
seen at least one of those movies
when I was a kid. Because when

588
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,679
I was a kid, everyone wanted
to see those movies except me. I

589
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,559
was always the odd one out.
I was always the one who was like,

590
00:49:24,679 --> 00:49:29,280
ah, I don't like this,
sit Matt. None of my friends

591
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,960
like that. Really, Yeah,
I loved them, so I would watch

592
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:39,400
them with my aunt all the time. Well, but yeah, that's my

593
00:49:39,519 --> 00:49:45,800
belief on slashers is that's why they
are so successful because these individuals are supposed

594
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:52,880
to be the villains, but they
give us this this aura of sympathy that

595
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:58,920
we have towards them because it's like, for one reason or another, they're

596
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:05,199
made this way circumstances out of their
control. Leatherface has to kill because his

597
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:10,480
family has abused him into killing.
Jason has to kill because that's his one

598
00:50:10,599 --> 00:50:19,159
drive. Michael Myers is possessed.
Oh so he Michael Myers is still possessed,

599
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,320
like the demon never left him,
and that's why he continues to kill.

600
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,880
That's why he can't be killed.
Oh, that's why he can't be

601
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,800
killed. I see right. Well, well, yeah, well you can

602
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:35,360
hardly blame him. And it's such
a great series because they didn't get there

603
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:43,559
until the fourth movie explaining the Curse
of Michael Myers. So oh yeah,

604
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:51,239
okay, yeah, the third one
didn't even feature Michael Myers. It didn't

605
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,679
what well, then, what was
the point? Good question? What did

606
00:50:55,679 --> 00:50:58,840
they do? What did they do
in the third one? In the third

607
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:06,880
one, basically a toy company released
Halloween masks that were controlled by a demon

608
00:51:07,039 --> 00:51:12,199
spirit and were would wipe out all
the wearers of their masks at a certain

609
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:16,679
time. Ah. By the way, Melanie says Freddie was bullied for being

610
00:51:16,679 --> 00:51:21,320
the kid of a hundred men.
I don't know what that means. You

611
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:27,760
really can't get into that on air, Matty, but yes, that is

612
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,880
true. But I'm sorry, mel
We're gonna have to agree to disagree on

613
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:36,519
this one. I have no sympathy
for Freddy Krueger. Yeah, well,

614
00:51:36,559 --> 00:51:40,400
you know, we have to have
to draw some boundaries, right, Yeah,

615
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:45,199
I'll send you a private message explaining
that one, Matt. Okay,

616
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,679
so you know, and you're then
you'll be like, Okay, thanks Eric

617
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:57,039
for one time you didn't try to
get me fired, Melanie said, their

618
00:51:57,039 --> 00:52:01,480
heads turned into insects and h three
right. It's actually a really good movie

619
00:52:01,519 --> 00:52:06,519
movie. I really enjoy it.
It sounds very upsetting. I feel like

620
00:52:06,599 --> 00:52:09,159
I'd have nightmares for the rest of
my life if I watched any of those.

621
00:52:10,639 --> 00:52:15,320
Well, Halloween is one of the
films that will be covered in October.

622
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:20,000
So ah. Yes, they really
wanted to turn it into an anthology

623
00:52:20,119 --> 00:52:27,039
film series where each film would be
different, and it didn't go well.

624
00:52:27,039 --> 00:52:30,840
Oh fortunately. Oh speaking of your
film reviews too, and we should we

625
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:36,039
should remind people about the extra system
a minute the event you're going to be

626
00:52:36,039 --> 00:52:42,719
doing. But I noticed my my
dad commented that he walked out of it.

627
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,639
Sounds like he must have seen it
in the theater when it came out.

628
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,559
The Crazies. I don't know if
you saw his comment. That was

629
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:51,679
the review that we ran yesterday,
and my dad on Facebook said he actually

630
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:58,119
walked out on the Crazies. Wow, I did not see that, but

631
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,039
it's very it's very interesting to hear
that he walked out because it got such

632
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:08,320
a very limited release. Yeah,
yeah, I don't know. I mean,

633
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,079
I haven't seen it yet. I'm
curious to see it. Now it's

634
00:53:10,119 --> 00:53:14,800
on YouTube, right because it's public
domain. Yes, it is on YouTube.

635
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:17,039
I am curious to see it.
Oh. I wanted to ask you

636
00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:25,079
two before we talk about the Exorcist. This is something the total uh side

637
00:53:25,079 --> 00:53:30,679
street here, but I happen to
see this pop up on media. According

638
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:35,519
to Mike Huckabee, he said,
if Trump doesn't win, twenty twenty four

639
00:53:35,639 --> 00:53:42,159
will be the last election decided by
ballots rather than bullets. This type of

640
00:53:42,159 --> 00:53:46,519
thing. Yeah, he's he's saying
it. He's saying the quiet part out

641
00:53:46,519 --> 00:53:52,679
loud, appealing to those uh militants. Yeah, it says here. Yep,

642
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,239
he said it. He came out
and said it. It says here.

643
00:53:54,239 --> 00:54:00,320
A former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential
candidate, Mike Huckabee specula late at

644
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:04,599
that twenty twenty four maybe quote the
last American election that will be decided by

645
00:54:04,639 --> 00:54:08,719
ballots rather than bullets unquote, if
Donald Trump's legal troubles prevent him from returning

646
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:14,159
to the White House. On the
September two episode of his show on Trinity

647
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:23,760
Broadcasting Network, Here's Here's here's the
what he says in the clip. Here's

648
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:28,920
the full context of what he said. The people in power use their police

649
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:34,320
agencies to arrest their opponents for made
up crimes in an attempt to discredit them,

650
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,239
bankrupt them, imprisoned them, exile
them, or all of the above.

651
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:44,199
And if you're not paying attention,
you may not realize that Joe Biden

652
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,480
is using exactly those tactics to make
sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent

653
00:54:46,519 --> 00:54:51,480
in twenty twenty four. Here's the
problem. If these tactics end up working

654
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,159
to keep Trump from winning or even
running in twenty twenty four, it is

655
00:54:54,199 --> 00:54:58,599
going to be the last American election
that will be decided by ballots rather than

656
00:54:58,639 --> 00:55:04,480
bullets. That's what. Oh yeah, he's just putting it right out He

657
00:55:04,519 --> 00:55:08,440
putting it right out there, And
it's a and and I when I see

658
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,880
and I hear these things, I
take it as a threat. I don't

659
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:19,239
know, I see how you take
it any other way than that? Yeah?

660
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:28,639
Yeah, but just how stupid can
my party be? Like one?

661
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,320
Let me say this, and I'm
gonna go a little off track here.

662
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:38,599
Sure, Trinity Broadcasting Network is the
epitome of everything that's wrong with Christianity in

663
00:55:38,639 --> 00:55:46,960
this country. So let me just
say that and be done. Are you

664
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,840
sure you don't you don't want to
expand on that, because I'm super curious.

665
00:55:51,639 --> 00:55:57,320
Well, you're like Westboro Baptist Church
on TV. I mean, they

666
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:05,400
they expound they ever it's all the
negativity. Yeah, and just oh all

667
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,760
homo sexuals are going to go to
hell and oh where this country is a

668
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:15,519
cesspool controlled by Satan? Oh,
this and that all hell fire and brimstone,

669
00:56:15,599 --> 00:56:20,840
Oh, Sodom and Gomorrah. And
it's just like just stop, like

670
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:28,960
let people live their lives without judgment. Yeah. Oh, there's a somebody

671
00:56:29,159 --> 00:56:32,440
said something kind of like that once, something about he among you who is

672
00:56:32,519 --> 00:56:37,079
without sin, make has a first
stone. His name is The name escapes

673
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:40,119
me, but I think there might
be a religion named after him. But

674
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:45,280
yeah, I found a sign.
I thought I found a signed book by

675
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:52,000
him at half priced books this weekend. Yes, uh yeah, I was

676
00:56:52,079 --> 00:56:57,920
like, who fifty bucks for a
signed book by the author? Well,

677
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,320
it's the Bible. Well, to
be fair, though, he's not the

678
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,599
author. He's he's just in It's
He's in it a lot, especially in

679
00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:07,039
the second in the second half,
it's like all him. There's a lot

680
00:57:07,079 --> 00:57:10,079
of red tats. That's his voice. Ah, okay, gotcha? So

681
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:14,840
yeah. I was like, man, and then it said by illustrator,

682
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:19,840
and I'm like, oh, so
is this one of the apostles? Like

683
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,039
I looked it up on eBay signed
bibles to see how much I could resell

684
00:57:24,119 --> 00:57:29,960
it for. Yeah. I didn't
get many results, so it's got to

685
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,039
be really rare. You you probably
need what do they call it, a

686
00:57:34,199 --> 00:57:40,639
certificate of authenticity for the signature in
order in order to get anything for it.

687
00:57:43,679 --> 00:57:46,440
I mean maybe, I don't know. I don't even know how a

688
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:54,280
certificate of authenticity would have been done. Well, he you know, he

689
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:59,639
works in mysterious ways. I don't. I don't know either. I think

690
00:57:59,639 --> 00:58:01,519
I might have derailed you. Oh
yeah, so so that that's what.

691
00:58:01,639 --> 00:58:07,679
But that's the kind of their vibe
at Trinity Broadcasting Networking. I was they

692
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,280
look, all credibility was gone.
They could have had with me was gone.

693
00:58:12,639 --> 00:58:15,719
While I was in college, it
was like two in the morning and

694
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:22,159
I was flipping through channels and I
stopped because there was a Girl's Gone Wild

695
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:27,440
and commercial on yeah, And I
was like, what is this? I

696
00:58:27,519 --> 00:58:34,800
remember those that guy's in prison,
right, No, he escaped to uh

697
00:58:35,039 --> 00:58:37,599
Mexico. Oh he did? I
thought, oh wow, no kidding,

698
00:58:38,119 --> 00:58:44,639
Yeah, he's in mehiho, damned
Yeah, he got the heck up out

699
00:58:44,639 --> 00:58:47,239
of dodge. Joe Francis Oh right, right right, I couldn't remember his

700
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:52,559
name. Yeah, yeah, Joe
Francis is in Mexico. I still believe

701
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:57,960
he has like another felony arrest added
to him if he ever comes back to

702
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:02,039
the States. Uh. Some esky
domestic charge of him hitting his wife.

703
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:09,079
Oh I don't wow. Yeah,
it's pretty. Actually, it's pretty disturbing

704
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:15,079
to hear the audio of him.
Oh wow, really yeah, there's audio

705
00:59:15,199 --> 00:59:20,400
of it. It's pretty. It
makes Stephen Crowder look like Ward Cleaver.

706
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:28,679
Yeah, it's like you're like,
man, Stephen Crowder isn't so bad?

707
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:36,320
Now? Wow? Yeah? Oh
so you said, so you saw the

708
00:59:36,639 --> 00:59:39,559
Girls Gone Wild infomercial? What channel
is this on? So I hit the

709
00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:50,320
info button and TBN paid programming.
Really that's interesting, Yes, TBN allowed

710
00:59:50,360 --> 01:00:01,360
of Girls Gone Wild infomercial for money? Wow? Yeah yeah hmm. That

711
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:07,199
that is when they lost any and
all credibility with me. Yeah, because

712
01:00:07,239 --> 01:00:12,840
it's like one and this is right
around when all this stuff started coming out.

713
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,920
About what he would do to girls. Yeah, this was like two

714
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:24,760
thy six And it's like, okay, you you pious, self righteous hypocrites.

715
01:00:25,719 --> 01:00:35,039
What are you doing? Yeah?
Unless is it possible don't play Devil's

716
01:00:35,079 --> 01:00:39,840
advocate here? That's almost a pun
in this context, is it? But

717
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:45,000
but I'm just wondering, is it
possible that the cable company did that?

718
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:52,239
In other words, did did uh
Trinity Broadcasting not know that that was airing?

719
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:58,559
No? The broadcaster is in charge
of all paid programming. Okay,

720
01:00:59,239 --> 01:01:04,760
that's why there's that disclaimer before any
paid programming. Okay, gotcha. Well

721
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,679
it's a good thing there was a
disclaimer on that one. Then huh yeah,

722
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,840
but you, like, I've always
been a believer in you endorse it

723
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:17,440
because you took money for it,
right, exactly exactly, Like it's like,

724
01:01:17,559 --> 01:01:22,280
really, you don't endorse it,
but I'd ensure you had no problem

725
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:36,719
endorsing that check to the bank,
right, Yes, yeah, what's uh?

726
01:01:37,199 --> 01:01:39,519
Okay, I guess that's that's the
basically the full text of what Huckaby

727
01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:42,840
said. There's audio here, but
I don't even want to play it.

728
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:47,480
I just I don't get it.
How can how can one how can that

729
01:01:47,559 --> 01:01:52,039
man be so ignorant. And I
don't like to throw that word around lightly,

730
01:01:52,320 --> 01:02:00,840
yeah, because it's just ignorance,
Like how unaware are you to what

731
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:07,480
has happened in this country? Well, I remember being concerned about potentially violence

732
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:13,239
at at you know some of these
uh events where Trump passed a show That

733
01:02:13,519 --> 01:02:15,199
sounds funny to say it this way, but you know, when when Trump

734
01:02:15,239 --> 01:02:21,599
passed a show up for arraignments and
things like that, Uh, you know,

735
01:02:21,679 --> 01:02:24,159
I'm always a little bit worried that
there might be violence from from some

736
01:02:24,199 --> 01:02:28,239
of his supporters outside, but it
ends up being, uh, these end

737
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,119
up being pretty docile events. But
I think a lot of it has to

738
01:02:30,159 --> 01:02:36,519
do with the fact that you know, people see uh everyone from January sixth

739
01:02:36,599 --> 01:02:42,559
who so far has been convicted,
and Enrique Tario just got I think twenty

740
01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:45,760
two years twenty three years in prison. So I think that's kind of helped

741
01:02:46,039 --> 01:02:50,920
tamp a out of that down.
But but yeah, when when somebody like

742
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:55,280
Mike Kackabee puts something like that out
there, it's so irresponsible, you know,

743
01:02:55,440 --> 01:03:00,400
and and it it I take it
as a threat. I yeah,

744
01:03:00,559 --> 01:03:07,320
take it as anything. But given
what's happened exactly exactly yeah, if we

745
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,360
if we don't get what we want, we're gonna start shooting. That's what

746
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:14,480
you're saying. I mean, how
can you look at that and say,

747
01:03:14,519 --> 01:03:20,199
oh, well, my oh my
cock Beach just being that saying stupid,

748
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:27,639
stupid, backwater hill billy stuff again. And it's like no, Like before

749
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:32,760
January sixth, that could hold a
little bit of water there, but after

750
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:38,960
January sixth, absolutely not, No, that cannot be said. And he's

751
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:43,679
changed too. I think there was
a time when Mike Cockbee I don't think

752
01:03:43,719 --> 01:03:46,280
would have said anything like that.
I remember when he ran for president in

753
01:03:47,079 --> 01:03:50,400
what would it have been. I
think he might have run more than once.

754
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,760
But in two thousand and eight he
was kind of the last man standing

755
01:03:53,880 --> 01:04:00,679
on before John McCain captured the nomination
and HUW could be back. And I

756
01:04:00,679 --> 01:04:04,440
mean he was just more, you
know, very positive kind of guy.

757
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:09,320
I mean, I would never support
him, but but I don't know,

758
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:13,360
seemed a lot more just kind of
normal. I don't think Mike hock Coulbee

759
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,880
of two thousand and eight would have
would have said something like this, But

760
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,880
but this is how, this is
how he's talking now, and uh,

761
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:28,119
it's unfortunate it's really sad it is. But again, let's that's what his

762
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:38,239
that's he his base is those people
that trump a trap. Yeah, it

763
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:45,440
does seem that way. It's unfortunate. Well we should uh, Eric before

764
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,039
we because I do have to get
to a break soon. We're past the

765
01:04:47,039 --> 01:04:50,639
top of they are, but we
should talk about circling back to the reviews.

766
01:04:50,679 --> 01:04:53,800
Oh well, first of all,
let me ask you about this Friday.

767
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:57,719
What do you have for us Friday
for your film review? Friday is

768
01:04:58,119 --> 01:05:03,400
creep Show and it's going to be
a different type of review. I mentioned

769
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:10,480
it's an anthology film, so it
has like five different stories and one film.

770
01:05:10,519 --> 01:05:15,360
But to talk about creep Show,
you have to talk about the old

771
01:05:15,519 --> 01:05:21,760
ec comics that tales from the Crypt, Haunt of Fear and Crypt of Terror

772
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:29,800
that really creep Show came from,
and how two masters of horror came together

773
01:05:30,079 --> 01:05:38,199
in Stephen King and George A.
Romero to work on this film. So

774
01:05:38,199 --> 01:05:45,639
so yes, we're gonna look at
those things and have clips of those two

775
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:51,039
talking about the film instead of clips
from the film. Very cool. Yeah,

776
01:05:51,119 --> 01:05:55,880
I remember, you know, I
saw a Creepshow when I was a

777
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,480
kid. I don't know why,
but for some reason, the one with

778
01:05:58,519 --> 01:06:01,559
Ted Danson is the one that's fans
out of the four stories. That is,

779
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:10,719
I honestly think it's being buried up
to their neck in Leslie Nielsen watching

780
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,239
it. Yeah, yeah, and
such a that's you know, if you're

781
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,280
used to Leslie Nielsen from the Naked
Gun movies and whatnot, that's such an

782
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:23,199
unusual you don't usually see Leslie Nielsen
and a sinister role like that. And

783
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,119
yeah, that really sticks with me. That that's the one that sticks with

784
01:06:27,119 --> 01:06:29,920
me of the four, because honestly, the other three I don't remember anything

785
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:34,239
about them, but I remember that
one Stephen King was actually in one by

786
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:38,760
himself. Yeah, I remember you
saying that, And that surprised me too.

787
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:45,239
I didn't even remember that made a
low educated backwater farmer, thatting that

788
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:50,639
finds a meteor right, Oh wait, yes, I do remember, now,

789
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:56,880
yep, yep, I do remember
now. Yes, So that will

790
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:01,320
be Friday. I'm actually having a
cup people over tonight to watch Creep Show

791
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,360
to get ready for it. Oh
very cool. Hey, is this somebody

792
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:12,800
you might know? Puri Iowa Purry
p u r i io Wa. I

793
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,599
see Iowa in the name, and
I just assume everybody from Iowa knows each

794
01:07:15,639 --> 01:07:21,320
other. I hope that's not racist. No, okay, good, No,

795
01:07:21,559 --> 01:07:28,599
I don't know. I was just
wondering, okay, and uh,

796
01:07:28,639 --> 01:07:30,440
and we should talk about the Exorcist. And by the way, so you

797
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:34,719
said you you started reading the book. Yes, I was at Half Price

798
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:41,400
Books, which is actually a retail
chain that sells secondhand books, movies,

799
01:07:41,559 --> 01:07:45,239
records. Great store. Love it. Here in seedar Rapids, one of

800
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:51,320
my favorite places. I found a
first edition hardcover of the book in really

801
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:58,119
good condition. Oh okay, So
I decided, in preparation for that review,

802
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,719
I would read the book because it's
I read it back in two thousand,

803
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:10,320
so it's been quite some time.
And because of Taylor's Swift, the

804
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:18,199
release of Exorcist Believer has been pushed
up a week. Okay, cannot make

805
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:24,359
that up. Yes, it is
because the Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift,

806
01:08:25,239 --> 01:08:28,199
she u ruins everything. No,
I'm kidding. I don't have any problem

807
01:08:28,199 --> 01:08:32,920
with her well releasing her concert movie
October thirteenth, which was the original release.

808
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:39,319
State so Universal to not compete with
that, has moved Exorcist to October

809
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:44,800
six. Okay, and you're going
to be you're gonna be live streaming on

810
01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:49,880
on IPM nation from the what's the
name of the theater, Collins Rogue Theaters

811
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:56,560
were we're with the with the change, we're trying we're trying to piece all

812
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:01,119
of that together. Now. Yes, it just was expected. Oh the

813
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:09,239
change in date. Yeah, like
it's really kind of not throwing a wrench

814
01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:12,800
in things, but you're like,
whoa, Okay, now we really have

815
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,159
to piece things together because people are
like, well I had planned on the

816
01:09:15,239 --> 01:09:19,600
thirteenth, and I have this going
on on the sixth. Then it's like,

817
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:25,560
well, yeah, so now it's
really trying to push to find people.

818
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:30,279
We have a month. Yeah,
actually today oh yeah, wow,

819
01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:33,199
by the time is going so quick? Hey is it hot there? It's

820
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:38,800
very hot here for September. We
actually got over our heat wave today.

821
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:44,119
It's like seventy something right now.
Yeah, it's a it's like in the

822
01:09:44,199 --> 01:09:47,079
nineties here. I mixed feelings.
I mean it's you know, the heat,

823
01:09:47,119 --> 01:09:49,079
it's a bit much. But at
the same time, summer is my

824
01:09:49,079 --> 01:09:51,359
favorite time of year. I always
hate to see it slip away. So

825
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,960
if it was mine, I know, you like winter, Yeah, I

826
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,439
don't mind summer hanging on a little
extra, but yeah, I don't like

827
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:04,399
the gas to eighty. The air
is on, I don't play. I

828
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,159
understand, I understand. All right, Eric, well we will, we

829
01:10:09,239 --> 01:10:13,640
will let you go. My friend
always, I always enjoy our Wednesday discussions

830
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,359
and anything anything we didn't mention.
We talked about Friday's film review. We

831
01:10:17,399 --> 01:10:23,279
reminded everybody about The Exorcist, and
am I forgetting anything? No, No,

832
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,399
not at all. Up. Okay, I would like to let everyone

833
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:30,159
know since we did talk about The
Exorcist, if you are a fan of

834
01:10:30,199 --> 01:10:39,079
the film, please go to Fathom
Events and see the original is returning to

835
01:10:39,159 --> 01:10:45,720
theaters October first, in October fourth, Okay, Fathom events dot com to

836
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:51,359
see where it's available in your area. I'm bringing this up because Fabom Events

837
01:10:51,399 --> 01:10:58,119
has said that these have been low
attended events for the last two years,

838
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:02,640
and so they're they're almost thinking that
they might have to pull the plug on

839
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:10,239
doing these, which would be absolutely
horrible in my opinion, because these classics

840
01:11:10,359 --> 01:11:15,000
deserve to be seen on a big
screen. Yes, yes, absolutely,

841
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:20,640
I mean they have many other great
movies that they're rolling out this October,

842
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:30,000
John Carpenter's Christine, they live the
thing, They have a lot of great

843
01:11:30,119 --> 01:11:34,680
events coming up in October, in
September, very cool, excellent, excellent.

844
01:11:35,319 --> 01:11:38,880
Well all right, Erica. On
that note, we will let you

845
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,079
go. We look forward to the
film review on Friday. And always a

846
01:11:42,119 --> 01:11:45,359
pleasure of my friend, always a
pleasure to be on. Thanks Matt,

847
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:49,680
all right, you got it,
Thank you, bye bye. All right.

848
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,000
That was our friend Eric Pilcher,
all the way from all the way

849
01:11:53,039 --> 01:11:55,960
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As
I like to call him, my favorite

850
01:11:55,960 --> 01:12:00,920
Conservative. Here's what we're gonna do. We're going to play a little song

851
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,640
and then we're gonna show some love
to our amazing sponsors, and then we'll

852
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,319
be back with our final segment today

anything at all. But we're gonna play

855
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,239
a little more Ions and Coded.
Like I said, this gentleman who he

856
01:12:15,319 --> 01:12:18,399
does all of this himself, he's
gonna be joining us in studio next week.

857
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,199
I've been playing his music on the
show for like two years now,

858
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:26,159
but this one always gets a great
reaction. This is reconnection from ianson Coded.

859
01:12:26,399 --> 01:12:29,159
So check this out and we've got
plenty more show coming up. Don't

01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:29,520
from Cedar Rapids, Iowa for joining

879
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:34,399
don't forget he's got another classic film
review this coming Friday. And this Friday

880
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:39,960
the subject is creep Show. Uh, Stephen K. King and George a

881
01:14:40,119 --> 01:14:44,079
Romero. Wait was it Stephen King
and George a Romero teaming up on that?

882
01:14:44,279 --> 01:14:48,840
I think I always just thought of
it as Stephen King, But yes,

883
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:54,680
he did collaborate on that one.
And oh, we should say hello.

884
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,920
Two. I saw Scott Robinson is
in the Facebook live chat. I

885
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:02,640
don't think I acknowledged Scott yet.
And who else popped in that? I

886
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:08,800
didn't say hello to Ronda Ferverro of
course from the West Coast. Ronda says

887
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:13,920
a favorite song Dear God from the
eighties band XTC. That's in reference to

888
01:15:14,039 --> 01:15:20,560
a conversation that Eric and I were
having. Oh, Scott said in the

889
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:24,319
chat room, you know we we
were talking about slasher movies. We talked

890
01:15:24,319 --> 01:15:27,479
about a number of subjects today with
our friend Eric Scott said, when I

891
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,640
watched the movie Freddie versus Jason,
I really did not know who to feel

892
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:36,039
more sorry for. So I just
hope they just both killed each other forever.

893
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:42,039
Yeah. Like I said, I
I don't understand the appeal of those

894
01:15:42,079 --> 01:15:45,600
movies. I never have. It's
just that stuff does not connect with me.

895
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,439
Again, I don't make any judgments
about it. Everyone likes what they

896
01:15:48,479 --> 01:15:51,039
like, but not not not for
me. Even when I was a kid,

897
01:15:51,079 --> 01:15:58,279
I was like, Oh, let's
see Eon Venom four is in the

898
01:15:58,279 --> 01:16:01,239
Facebook live chat. Funny how Eon
Venom four always shows up when I play

899
01:16:01,319 --> 01:16:05,600
the band eons and coded Eon Venom
four. Who I'm pretty sure by the

900
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:10,199
way, it's from Greensboro, North
Carolina, says hello, Matt Connerton,

901
01:16:10,319 --> 01:16:15,279
Good afternoon. How are you doing
from us, Matt Connerton, We say,

902
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:20,439
is rip to Steve Harwell from smash
Mouth, lead singer and vocals.

903
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:28,119
Yeah, we lost we lost a
few people over the weekend. Actually,

904
01:16:28,279 --> 01:16:35,039
so Jimmy Buffett passed away. I
was surprised. Skin cancer, which is

905
01:16:36,399 --> 01:16:42,319
typically pretty highly treatable, but so
I was surprised to learn that he had

906
01:16:42,399 --> 01:16:45,680
a melanoma and that's what the cause
was. But but I guess from what

907
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,560
I had read it it had spread
and he didn't really he wasn't good at

908
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:53,319
following doctors orders, and so that's
that's a shame. I was never a

909
01:16:53,319 --> 01:16:57,920
big fan, but you know,
certainly respect him and enormously successful and talented.

910
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,720
I mean, you know, I
think Margueritaville is a great song and

911
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,239
everything. I just i'd never really
got into. Uh I was never a

912
01:17:01,319 --> 01:17:04,199
parrot head. I never really got
into Jimmy Buffett. But no, but

913
01:17:04,279 --> 01:17:10,479
that is a sad loss. Steve
Harwell from smash Mouth, they had a

914
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,239
couple of big, big hits in
the nineties or was it the early two

915
01:17:14,239 --> 01:17:17,319
thousands. It was around late nineties
early two thousands. They had Walking on

916
01:17:17,359 --> 01:17:23,920
the Sun and all Star was a
really big song. I wasn't much of

917
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:28,319
a not to speak ill of the
dead, but Steve Harwell, unfortunately during

918
01:17:28,359 --> 01:17:33,199
the pandemic the height of the pandemic, turned out to be a COVID denier,

919
01:17:34,079 --> 01:17:38,760
and you know he was one of
those people who went around, Uh

920
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:41,760
well, I want to be able
to put the show on YouTube later so

921
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,560
I won't even repeat the things he
would say, but that was disappointing.

922
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,600
He was definitely a COVID denier.
That's why if you wanted to see,

923
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,399
if you wanted to see, even
at the height of the pandemic, if

924
01:17:53,399 --> 01:17:57,199
you wanted to see smash Mouth live, they were one of the few bands

925
01:17:57,199 --> 01:18:01,520
that actually was out there actively touring
because Steve Harwell just thought it was all

926
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:11,520
made up. So that was pretty
disappointing. I have nothing, nothing much

927
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:15,159
more to say about him beyond that. And we did lose. Also,

928
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:25,039
former governor of New Mexico and a
great diplomat, Bill Richardson, and I

929
01:18:25,159 --> 01:18:29,359
actually, uh, fun fact,
I actually voted for Bill Richardson in the

930
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:34,600
two thousand and eight Democratic primary.
He was he was my candidate. But

931
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:40,319
Shannon is on the line. High
Shannon, Hello, good afternoon. Hello,

932
01:18:41,199 --> 01:18:45,159
it's hot, Yes, it is, it's hot. I mean,

933
01:18:45,239 --> 01:18:49,479
I feel bad for kids going back
to school this week. Do yeah,

934
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,439
well sort of, you know,
because they there's nowhere, you know,

935
01:18:55,159 --> 01:18:59,720
I suppose they could pull bands in, but yeah, they're kids, they'll

936
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,359
be Yeah. What I was going
to say was, I do believe I

937
01:19:03,399 --> 01:19:10,199
had heard either two or three I
think it's three radio stations. Is Stephen

938
01:19:10,319 --> 01:19:14,520
King owns in name? Yes,
he does own some radio stations, that's

939
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,239
true. I forgot about that,
you're right, Shannon, Yeah, and

940
01:19:19,319 --> 01:19:26,039
uh question. Vinny Vincent, he
was in Kiss before Benny Vincent's Invasion.

941
01:19:26,359 --> 01:19:31,079
Yes, Vinnie Vincent, he is
the guitarist who replaced Ace Frayley. Vinnie

942
01:19:31,399 --> 01:19:39,399
didn't last very long, unfortunately,
he had some issues, but amazingly talented

943
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,319
guy. So yeah, he was
in Kiss and then he left Kiss or

944
01:19:43,359 --> 01:19:46,239
he was fired from Kiss, and
then he started Vinnie Vincent Invasion and they

945
01:19:46,239 --> 01:19:51,119
had a couple of albums and then
Vinnie Vincent well, yes, with Mark

946
01:19:51,199 --> 01:19:55,439
Slaughter, that's correct. And then
uh, and then out of that came

947
01:19:55,520 --> 01:20:00,640
the band Slaughter, which went on
to be enormously successful, and latter is

948
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:05,319
basically Vinnie Vincent Invasion without Vinnie,
right, and uh and Slaughter. And

949
01:20:05,319 --> 01:20:10,079
then I saw a Slaughter the first
time I saw a Slaughter live. You

950
01:20:10,079 --> 01:20:14,880
know who They opened for Shannon Kiss. That's right on the Hot and the

951
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,720
Shade tour nineteen ninety. Ye got
it in one, yep, yep,

952
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:24,079
there you go. Well it was
nice to hear Eric too, So thank

953
01:20:24,119 --> 01:20:29,840
you to him, you know,
I uh, they have it. I

954
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:35,279
think. I don't know if there's
a book creep show or if it's just

955
01:20:35,359 --> 01:20:40,600
a play. Yeah, it's it's
based on stories written by Stephen King.

956
01:20:41,359 --> 01:20:45,039
Yeah, but is it a book
or a play. I don't remember.

957
01:20:45,399 --> 01:20:47,000
Well, I think it's a I
don't remember if the book is called creep

958
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:53,960
show. See sometimes for example,
Maximum Overdrive, the movie is based on

959
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:59,600
the story a story called Trucks by
Stephen King, which is part of one

960
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:03,800
of those books that he is uh
published that has a series of short stories

961
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:15,760
in it that's like stand by Me? Is uh no? Is it stand

962
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,680
by Me? Or I'm thinking of
there's a book called Rage, I think

963
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:24,880
by him. I'm not sure.
I read a lot of Stephen King growing

964
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,359
up, but during my over the
course of my adulthood, I don't know,

965
01:21:28,399 --> 01:21:30,720
I kind of got I kind of
got tired of him. So there's

966
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:34,319
a lot of Stephen King I haven't
read. Plus the books just got to

967
01:21:34,319 --> 01:21:38,039
be. His books just kept getting
bigger and bigger and bigger. And I

968
01:21:38,039 --> 01:21:41,479
don't have a short attention spanned by
any means. But some of these books

969
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:45,319
he's written, like it, I've
never read it. One thousand, one

970
01:21:45,399 --> 01:21:50,079
thousand and thirty four pages. Who
has the time? Yeah, did a

971
01:21:50,079 --> 01:21:54,239
big I liked the book. Yeah, everyone raves about it. I just

972
01:21:54,319 --> 01:21:56,760
I'm not going to read a thousand
page book. I'm sorry. I'm just

973
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,439
not. Yeah, I suppose it's
well, I don't see it that way,

974
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,760
you know. I read it back
when well I reread it on digital,

975
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:11,079
but I read it on cassette tape. Listened to it if Juno is

976
01:22:11,119 --> 01:22:15,560
listening, you know. And it
it used to say on the cassette tapes,

977
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:19,319
this this book contains, and it
would say the amount of pages,

978
01:22:19,359 --> 01:22:24,800
and it was like one thousand,
thirty two or thirty four pages. How

979
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:29,199
many cassettes was it? Huh?
How many cassettes was it? It must

980
01:22:29,239 --> 01:22:34,239
have been quite a few. Yeah, it was. Well, there's four

981
01:22:34,279 --> 01:22:40,000
sides per cassette. It was weird
because there was there was a switch.

982
01:22:40,079 --> 01:22:43,159
You could you listen to side one, take it out, listen to side

983
01:22:43,159 --> 01:22:46,880
tooth and hit a switch and there's
an extra side on it. But there

984
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:50,039
was there was a lot. It
was a big. Yeah, a couple

985
01:22:50,039 --> 01:22:53,600
of cases. I was gonna say, I just imagine a whole suitcase full

986
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:58,319
of cassettes. Yeah, but I
don't know how long it is, but

987
01:22:58,359 --> 01:23:00,960
the institute's really good too. By
Stephen King. I've not read that.

988
01:23:02,039 --> 01:23:08,479
It's it's one of his newer or
well think yeah, I think I think

989
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:14,119
I stopped reading Stephen King probably by
nineteen ninety. Yeah, well this is

990
01:23:14,119 --> 01:23:18,840
a little different. I don't know, but I just wanted to throw those

991
01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:24,359
comments out there. Okay, so
that's it. Well, all right,

992
01:23:24,399 --> 01:23:28,159
Shannon, Well we appreciate the call
already, thank you, all right,

993
01:23:28,319 --> 01:23:30,840
thank you, bye bye. Melanie
and the charem says, tired of Stephen

994
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,600
King? How dare you? Yeah, I just I don't know. I

995
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:39,199
mean by the time, Yeah,
at a certain point, I just I

996
01:23:39,319 --> 01:23:44,880
kind of just entirely stopped reading fiction. Though I really, as an adult,

997
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,760
I haven't read much fiction. It's
it's been mostly like I like political

998
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:53,960
science books and nerdy things like that. I don't know. I can't even

999
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,319
remember when the last time I read
a book that was of a fiction,

1000
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,319
a fictitious novel. To be honest
with you, I know that I have

1001
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:05,359
read fiction as an adult, I
just can't remember what. It's been almost

1002
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:13,079
entirely nonfiction for a long time.
But now that's me. While it does

1003
01:24:13,159 --> 01:24:15,600
open up the line for you six
three two five six seven six zo three

1004
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,720
two five six zero seven. Uh. Wow, we're already almost out of

1005
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:25,239
show, but we do have uh, let's look at some legal news,

1006
01:24:25,279 --> 01:24:30,159
shall we very busy day in the
legal realm, and uh, some of

1007
01:24:30,159 --> 01:24:34,279
it's about Trump, but there is
also some Hunter Biden news. This is

1008
01:24:34,319 --> 01:24:38,600
breaking. Actually, this just went
up media. I just put this up

1009
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:45,680
a little bit ago. Special counsel
will reportedly seek indictment of Biden Hunter Biden

1010
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,920
on gun charges. Uh. And
you might remember, of course, well,

1011
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:51,279
a couple of months ago, now, it seems like that we were

1012
01:24:51,279 --> 01:24:55,479
talking about how, you know,
they had this whole plea agreement in place,

1013
01:24:55,680 --> 01:25:00,800
but there seemed to be uh,
you know, the pro secutors and

1014
01:25:00,119 --> 01:25:04,720
Hunter Biden's defense seemed to have some
different ideas about what that entailed, and

1015
01:25:05,159 --> 01:25:11,239
that came back to Hunter Biden's attorneys
and Hunter Biden. Of course. Well

1016
01:25:11,319 --> 01:25:15,880
here's where we are now with all
of this. Special Counsel David Weiss has

1017
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:20,720
announced that he will seek a grand
jury indictment against Hunter Biden related to gun

1018
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:26,279
charges. Charges will reportedly be announced
by the end of this month, according

1019
01:25:26,319 --> 01:25:30,800
to a court filing, The filing
says the Speedy Trial Act requires that the

1020
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:35,840
government obtain the return of an indictment
by a grand jury by Friday September twenty

1021
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:41,359
nine, twenty twenty three, at
the earliest. The government intends to seek

1022
01:25:41,399 --> 01:25:45,560
the return of an indictment in this
case before that date. Then, Media

1023
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,319
Eye goes on to say Biden,
the son of President Joe Biden, had

1024
01:25:48,359 --> 01:25:54,279
struck a plea agreement on the same
gun charge and two tax charges that fell

1025
01:25:54,319 --> 01:25:58,680
apart earlier this summer. Weiss,
acting on behalf of the Department of Justice,

1026
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:02,079
indicated that there were be no new
deal and that Biden's case would go

1027
01:26:02,199 --> 01:26:09,199
to trial. And this is from
Weiss. It says during the July twenty

1028
01:26:09,239 --> 01:26:13,760
six, twenty twenty three hearing that
the court set on this matter, the

1029
01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:16,960
defendant pled not guilty. Since that
time, the parties have engaged in further

1030
01:26:17,039 --> 01:26:24,079
ple negotiations but are at an impass. The government now believes that the case

1031
01:26:24,159 --> 01:26:30,800
will not resolve short of a trial. Wow, it says here. This

1032
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,680
development comes after criticism from President Biden's
political critics on the Republican side, who

1033
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:40,039
have claimed a two tier justice system
that benefited the younger Biden since the original

1034
01:26:40,079 --> 01:26:44,119
Plea deal was announced, they demanded
a special council be appointed, but complained

1035
01:26:44,159 --> 01:26:48,000
when Weiss was named to that position. Yeah, they right, and that's

1036
01:26:48,039 --> 01:26:51,439
true. They were clamoring for a
special counsel and then Weiss was named special

1037
01:26:51,439 --> 01:26:55,560
counsel and then they said, oh, this is this is just being done

1038
01:26:55,600 --> 01:27:00,920
to protect Hunter Biden and to inoculate
the Biden's both a hunter and of course

1039
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:04,800
more importantly his father, the President
of the United States, from criticism,

1040
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:10,600
which was a smart way for them
to play it politically. Uh. Disingenuous

1041
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:15,359
but smart. But but now uh, nope, there there there's going to

1042
01:27:15,399 --> 01:27:26,920
be a trial, and uh,
Hunter Biden continues to be just a millstone

1043
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,479
around the neck of his father as
he's running for reelection. But again another

1044
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:39,560
reason why I think that I think
that Biden should should not be running for

1045
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,039
re election. And we'll see if
what you know, we talked on the

1046
01:27:42,039 --> 01:27:46,119
show about what Mark Halperin told Michael
Smerconish on his show that the decision has

1047
01:27:46,159 --> 01:27:50,960
actually already been made, that Biden
has decided not to run after all,

1048
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:56,039
but nothing is being said publicly until
they figure out an exit strategy. And

1049
01:27:56,439 --> 01:28:00,239
uh, and how to proceed in
terms of you know, because you know,

1050
01:28:00,319 --> 01:28:02,760
is it going to be Kamala Harris? If it's not Biden, how's

1051
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,760
that all going to work? And
it is going to be complicated and fascinating

1052
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:09,560
to see if it all plays out. My fear is, though Biden,

1053
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:13,079
is that it's it's not going to
turn out to be true and that Biden

1054
01:28:13,159 --> 01:28:26,399
is going to stay. Let's see. Now, speaking of the elder Biden,

1055
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:33,079
this also from Media House to Republican
says he's not backing a Biden impeachment

1056
01:28:33,199 --> 01:28:40,840
inquiry for corruption because quote, I'm
not convinced that evidence exists. So this

1057
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:45,960
is from this is also from today. Oh, actually, this is very

1058
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,760
fresh. This just happened a few
minutes ago on CNN. Apparently. Representative

1059
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:55,840
Ken Buck, Republican of Colorado,
told CNN he has not seeing any evidence

1060
01:28:55,840 --> 01:29:00,840
that would justify an impeachment inquiry into
President Joe Biden. Many Congressions old Republicans

1061
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:04,960
have alleged that Biden was deeply involved
in his son Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings.

1062
01:29:05,079 --> 01:29:09,600
Some even claim that as Vice president, the Elder Biden took bribes as

1063
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:12,479
part of a scheme to enrich his
family, but they have yet to present

1064
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:17,800
evidence to sustain that explosive charge.
Appearing on today's edition of The Lead,

1065
01:29:18,279 --> 01:29:24,039
Buck was asked about the possibility of
House Republicans forcing the speaker to hold an

1066
01:29:24,039 --> 01:29:30,119
impeachment vote, and actually, here, let's listen to this. I've got

1067
01:29:30,119 --> 01:29:36,039
the audio here. I wanted to
get your take on your colleague, Congressman

1068
01:29:36,079 --> 01:29:45,560
Matt Gates saying he is prepared to
force a floor vote on impeaching President Biden,

1069
01:29:45,159 --> 01:29:51,079
and if Speaker McCarthy blocks the effort, he is threatening to make a

1070
01:29:51,119 --> 01:29:57,800
motion to oust Speaker McCarthy. What
do you think of that? Well,

1071
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:00,359
I think I think Speaker McCarthy has
said a number of times that he wants

1072
01:30:00,399 --> 01:30:04,319
to bring a vote on the impeachment
inquiry, not necessarily the impeachment, but

1073
01:30:04,359 --> 01:30:09,720
the impeachment inquiry. So I think
he and Congressman Gays are on the same

1074
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:14,279
page there. I don't think that
there is an appetite right now for a

1075
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:18,359
motion to vacate Speaker McCarthy. I
think that we have three committees that are

1076
01:30:18,399 --> 01:30:25,119
working very hard on uncovering evidence of
Hunter Biden's wrongdoing. They are looking to

1077
01:30:25,159 --> 01:30:28,760
see if there is a connection with
Joe Biden. If they reach that point

1078
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:31,800
where they can find evidence of a
connection, fine, I think the Republicans

1079
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:35,479
will move forward with an impeachment inquiry. Right now, I'm not convinced that

1080
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:44,399
that evidence exists, and I'm not
supporting an impeachment inquiry. So that's his

1081
01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:49,359
take on it. Ken Buck,
Republican of Colorado. Yeah, there are

1082
01:30:49,399 --> 01:30:54,680
a lot of Republicans obviously that are
the Freedom Caucus wing of the Republican Party

1083
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:57,039
in the House really wants to go
forward with this. Well. See,

1084
01:30:57,119 --> 01:30:59,680
I mean that's not to say that
there isn't smoke, but you know,

1085
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:01,720
when you say where the smoke there's
fire, that's not always the case.

1086
01:31:02,159 --> 01:31:05,439
So I think it makes sense for
them to proceed with caution. I'm not

1087
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:09,840
convinced that you know that there's nothing
there by the way, just I don't

1088
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:14,520
want anyone to misunderstand what I'm saying. But so far, there's no there's

1089
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:20,479
you know, there's evidence. The
evidence is circumstantial. Let's see, we'll

1090
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:23,520
just hit a couple of it.
Like I said, big day for legal

1091
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,960
news is, I think Jenny pointed
out in the chat room media I also

1092
01:31:27,039 --> 01:31:31,319
reporting Mark Meadows planning to flip on
Trump in Georgia case, along with other

1093
01:31:31,840 --> 01:31:36,359
indicted co conspirators, per a new
report. It says here a new report

1094
01:31:36,399 --> 01:31:42,720
connected the dots among Donald Trump's co
conspirators for his indictment in Georgia, and

1095
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:46,640
it established a pattern of behavior indicating
the former president's allies will turn against him

1096
01:31:47,119 --> 01:31:56,600
to legally save themselves. Politico reported
on Mark Meadows's potential legal strategy as a

1097
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,880
White House chief of staff faces charges
connected with Trump's alleged conspiracy overturned Georgia's twenty

1098
01:32:01,039 --> 01:32:05,800
twenty election. And actually, let's
grab this. My dad is on the

1099
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:11,119
line. Hello, Hello, Matt, how are you? Good afternoon?

1100
01:32:11,199 --> 01:32:15,880
And good afternoon. It feels like
the fourth of July. You know when

1101
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,520
it feels like this on the fourth, I don't mind it because I love

1102
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:24,199
the holiday. You know, I
love history, right, I love philosophy,

1103
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:29,439
And I don't mind it when it's
this hot in September because A,

1104
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,279
it's not going to last too long, right. B. I love the

1105
01:32:33,319 --> 01:32:38,039
fall, but it goes by way
too quickly in my experience and judgment.

1106
01:32:38,279 --> 01:32:43,680
Yeah, and my body has adapted
to it. You know, when the

1107
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,560
when the I think you know this
about me not to get into anything too

1108
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:54,119
personal here that when the heat first
hits, you know, it depends,

1109
01:32:54,159 --> 01:32:57,680
you know, with climate change,
and I do believe it's very clear climate

1110
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:01,640
change is real. I don't believe
the Green New Deal Bologna politically, but

1111
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:05,359
I'm not going to get into that. I know we would untably disagree on

1112
01:33:05,399 --> 01:33:11,640
that. But I've recommended good books
by great scientists, and just now now

1113
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,600
I'm gonna I am going to mention
the first part. I wasn't gonna mention

1114
01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:23,279
it at all, but sixteen hundred
plus scientists just on the Labor Day,

1115
01:33:23,560 --> 01:33:30,760
just before Labor Day, wrote papers
on the phenomenon of climate change, which

1116
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,920
they say is cyclical, going back
for thousands of years, and they feel

1117
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:41,279
they can document that. But it
has little to do with emissions. It

1118
01:33:41,319 --> 01:33:45,119
has all to do with cycles and
water vapors is much worse in the environment.

1119
01:33:46,399 --> 01:33:57,600
And when you look at the less
almost maniacal, obsessive ad Biden too

1120
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:00,800
is guilty of this and that crazy
am I judgment I'm gonna say, because

1121
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,119
you have an international audience, man, I know you've got the fans around

1122
01:34:04,159 --> 01:34:09,199
you who are liberal, and you
know I would disagree with it, but

1123
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:15,680
you know, looking at the international
audience. It's important to understand that there

1124
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:25,359
is right now very limited resources in
terms of wind and sun, and you

1125
01:34:25,399 --> 01:34:29,439
don't have to address this. You
can address it at a subsequent show if

1126
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:33,359
you wish, but h and attack
your dad, and I just kidding you

1127
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:40,159
better not attack. That's a spiritual
question. But these windmills that they're putting

1128
01:34:40,159 --> 01:34:45,279
in the in the ocean are killing
mammals man, and they have no they're

1129
01:34:45,319 --> 01:34:48,920
not trying to problem solve through that
or rectify that. And you know,

1130
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:57,199
I'm all for electric electricity and electric
cars if they're reasonable in price and you

1131
01:34:57,239 --> 01:35:01,880
can do it. But looked like
that knucklehead Gavin Newsome in California. You

1132
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:08,319
know, he's latting in this sort
of almost metaphysical abstract way the need to

1133
01:35:08,399 --> 01:35:14,479
have electric cars by I think twenty
thirties saying lately, and there's no grid

1134
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,760
for that set up, and the
grid that would be set up for that

1135
01:35:17,279 --> 01:35:24,840
would require fossil fuels. I'm gonna
underscore that it would require fossil fuels.

1136
01:35:25,359 --> 01:35:31,640
And this country has done amazing clean
up work with scrubbing and other other realities.

1137
01:35:31,920 --> 01:35:36,239
We have one of the cleanest countries
in the world in that context,

1138
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:42,079
so droll, baby drill. But
that's not why I called. And I

1139
01:35:42,119 --> 01:35:45,479
know we have limited time, and
I don't want to introduct your guests,

1140
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:50,079
so I think I was thinking maybe
next month I would call in. So

1141
01:35:50,119 --> 01:35:58,000
we set this up and talk about
the structures philosophically and practically and politically because

1142
01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:05,000
obviously have political applications that are daunting
here with regard to elite capture because it

1143
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:09,520
has A and B, and we
talked about a U, and I think

1144
01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:14,520
Biden is guilty of this. That
you remember Joe Biden. You know he's

1145
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:18,239
going to be eighty one, eighty
two, eighty one, And I appreciate

1146
01:36:18,319 --> 01:36:25,920
yours talking about Biden's age. He
is clearly in cognitive decline. Would you

1147
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,479
not agree with that? Matt Oh? I do, absolutely, I mean,

1148
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,880
if if you if you agree,
I was gonna say, it's like

1149
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:36,359
I was saying yesterday. If you
watch a video even of him speaking just

1150
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:41,119
a couple of years ago, you
can see a difference. Absolutely, Yes,

1151
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:45,760
I agree. I agree. I've
never been a fan of his and

1152
01:36:45,439 --> 01:36:51,039
he's never accomplished much in the Senate
in my judgment, and you know,

1153
01:36:51,119 --> 01:36:56,840
I never liked that ninety two ninety
three Crime Bill, but I won't go

1154
01:36:56,880 --> 01:37:00,920
into that. But yeah, I
agree he's in decline. I personally,

1155
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:05,399
I don't like to make predictions,
obviously, but and let's just kind of

1156
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:09,439
sports thing, you know. I
love Muhammad Ali, God rest his soul.

1157
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:15,720
But with regard to diagnosing Joe China
Joe as I call him, I

1158
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:24,960
like a com That's something that's up
to medical people and experts who interview him

1159
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:28,119
and test him. It's not up
to the public to make that kind of

1160
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:34,000
diagnosis of willy nilly and superficially.
So you made that point strongly yesterday,

1161
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:40,000
and I think you've made that point
before. But where I don't agree with

1162
01:37:40,039 --> 01:37:44,680
you sometimes on China Joe Biden,
I think he's a crook. I think

1163
01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,840
he's We're going to see more and
more evidence, even though you see the

1164
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:51,000
stonewalling now of the FBI, the
d o J, of course, the

1165
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:57,199
crooked corporate press. For the most
part, there are a few exceptions.

1166
01:37:58,359 --> 01:38:00,720
And by the way, the gentleman
you were talking talking about, I don't

1167
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:02,640
trust him, but he might be
right. He might have that information,

1168
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:06,840
that inside information, Mark Calby,
because it could be there. Matt and

1169
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:11,640
the mainstream media, even Fox,
and I'm not a big fan of Fox,

1170
01:38:12,079 --> 01:38:15,640
with some exceptions of some of the
journalists, but they may just ignore

1171
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:21,840
the issue and try to continue to
protect Biden and protect the leftist agenda.

1172
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:28,680
So I'll stop there, but I
wanted to make one other point. Can

1173
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:30,760
I make one other point quickly?
Yeah, just quickly, Dad, because

1174
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:33,720
we are we are coming up against
the clock. But if you could be

1175
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:36,239
cursed, I'm sorry, that's okay, that's okay. Yeah, it's just

1176
01:38:36,319 --> 01:38:41,479
it's almost six. Yeah, I
had a busy day to day. I'm

1177
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:43,960
sorry. I was gonna call earlier, but I couldn't do. But so

1178
01:38:44,119 --> 01:38:47,479
just quickly, Matt. Yes,
you had a great guest yesterday, and

1179
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:53,880
I appreciate the interview very much.
I've worked as a drug and alcohol counselor

1180
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:56,640
in addition to being a clinical social
worker, lifeguard, swim coach, all

1181
01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:01,880
that stuff for over twenty five years, and I was surprised yesterday. Just

1182
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:06,800
a couple of things quickly. Sure, I was surprised yesterday by the fact

1183
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:14,119
that politicians are now getting involved with
sebaks and issues. I have never in

1184
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:21,159
over twenty years working with great addiction
psychiatrists and other clinical social workers and psychiatric

1185
01:39:21,319 --> 01:39:28,800
nurses. I've never had a problem
with the prescription of sabaksan and its legitimacy

1186
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:32,520
and its efficacious quality, So that
seems strange to me, but I'm not

1187
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:38,359
denying it its existence. Because the
country is in decay in some ways too.

1188
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:42,760
And we were moving with great progress, I thought twenty years ago,

1189
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:46,079
and now we're moving back. The
mental health system is getting more disorganized for

1190
01:39:46,119 --> 01:39:51,640
some reason, and even drug and
alcohol counseling is a little more disorganized in

1191
01:39:51,680 --> 01:39:56,039
some respects. But we bounced back, you know, And I want you

1192
01:39:56,079 --> 01:39:59,399
to honor that, and honor that
in your dad. Not because we're father

1193
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:02,439
and SENTI because of the work I
do and through the grace of God and

1194
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:08,039
colleagues and training in good education,
I've been able to help a lot of

1195
01:40:08,079 --> 01:40:12,159
people and save a lot of lives. And I know people sometimes they'll call

1196
01:40:12,159 --> 01:40:17,279
me around Christmas and they'll thank me
because they're in recovery solidly and not just

1197
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:24,439
superficially solidly in recovery. But I
did want to say this too, there

1198
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:29,760
is another point of view on not
on decriminalizing marijuana. All drug and all

1199
01:40:30,199 --> 01:40:35,399
counselors have been there for twenty plus
years thirty years so, but legalizing it

1200
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:41,720
and making it available to the public, I am not in favor of that.

1201
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:45,880
You and I disagree. Jenny and
I disagree on that fundamentally, and

1202
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:50,399
there are many and we're not I'm
not talking about medical marijuana prescribed by a

1203
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:57,560
doctor and with CBS CBT that takes
away the THHC. Right. You see

1204
01:40:57,560 --> 01:41:02,119
the distinction there. So that's valid, that can be helpful. I wouldn't

1205
01:41:02,159 --> 01:41:08,560
necessarily recommend it quickly, but it
would it would be valid, and it's

1206
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:14,119
it's important that it's that's part is
legal. But recreational marijuana, that's a

1207
01:41:14,119 --> 01:41:17,399
gateway drug. You people deny that, but I'm getting that out to the

1208
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:26,720
public and the research is in on
that, and everything from cancer to diminution

1209
01:41:26,760 --> 01:41:33,560
of concentration and memory and abstract thinking
are all tied to THHC and the THHC

1210
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:42,680
today MATT is much stronger and much
more destructive and disordering, particularly over time,

1211
01:41:42,720 --> 01:41:45,359
and it doesn't take much time,
and it leads to gateway process to

1212
01:41:45,399 --> 01:41:51,600
other drugs. I thought yesterday and
again, I don't want to criticize your

1213
01:41:51,640 --> 01:42:00,600
guests, but her story was compelling
in that context that she lost heartbreaking.

1214
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:03,640
I pray for everyone. But she
lost her husband to an overdose. When

1215
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:11,520
it started in California, the greatest
state in the Union weatherwise probably and the

1216
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:17,720
most liberal state unfortunately with taxes and
control. But it starts with recreational use

1217
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:23,359
and it led to something else for
her husband. And her husband is gone.

1218
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:30,399
And that happens much more than you
realize or the public talks about.

1219
01:42:30,039 --> 01:42:33,039
Yeah, yeah, we could.
We don't have time, I know,

1220
01:42:33,159 --> 01:42:35,239
to debate it or anything. And
I don't want to debate it with you

1221
01:42:35,279 --> 01:42:38,640
because you're my son. Do you
understand what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah,

1222
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:41,039
well we I am. I am
not going to do that. I

1223
01:42:41,039 --> 01:42:45,600
think that's inappropriate. We got about
thirty professional about wanted to get that other

1224
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:49,560
point of view out there. Sure, okay, all right, no problem

1225
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:53,239
dad. We do have to go
though. We're bumping up against six o'clock.

1226
01:42:53,319 --> 01:42:55,520
So I got a heart out.
But I do appreciate the call.

1227
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,479
Thank you, Matt. I appreciate
your work. Even though we disagree.

1228
01:42:59,479 --> 01:43:00,960
I appreciate what you're doing. All
right, thank you, Well, all

1229
01:43:01,039 --> 01:43:03,520
right, all right, love you
bye bye? All right. That was

1230
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,039
Mike, all right, that was
my dad. All right. We gotta

1231
01:43:06,079 --> 01:43:09,199
go. We are absolutely out of
time. If you miss any part of

1232
01:43:09,199 --> 01:43:12,319
today's show it we'll be up in
just a little bit WMNH radio dot org

1233
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,119
and on my website Matt Connerton dot
com. And we gotta go. Bye everybody.
