everybody, welcome, here we go Happy Monday. It's a new week here
on Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n
H five point three FM and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Also on
Comcast ninety seven. If you're in Manchester, and hello to all of our
online listeners across the nation and around the globe. You can go to my
website Matt Connerton dot com for all of your live streaming options, social media
links, contact in Folk Show archives, et cetera, et cetera. Today
is Monday, July seventeen, twenty twenty three. I hope everybody survived the
We had some flash flooding yesterday here in the city of Manchester, a little
bit on Saturday and a lot more on Sunday. And wow, and I
hear I hear sirens. I've heard a lot of sirens, by the way,
just in the last just in the last thirty minutes, a lot of
sirens. You know, sometimes when I hear sirens, I might hear a
siren and sometimes I'll hear a whole bunch of sirens at once, or at
least that's what it sounds like. And that's what I'm hearing right now,
a whole bunch of sirens. And that's what I heard earlier too. That
might be a good name for a band. A bunch of No, not
a bunch. That's terrible. Never mind, What am I thinking? A
cavalcade of sirens? No, no, that doesn't work either. A barrel
of sirens. No, that's even worse. I don't know anyway, a
lot of sirens. So I hope, I hope everything's okay. But I
hope, uh, I hope everybody was okay. Yesterday there was one individual
apparently in the city of Manchester who went around a barricade and ended up with
their car bobbing up and down in a very large pool of water, to
say the least, and I'm using the pool, using the turn pool very
lightly. It was a very loosely. It was a very big, big
puddle all the way up to their all the way up to their windows,
I think on the images are online. Of course, that was on Hanover
Street, I believe. Yeah, don't do that, don't you know?
It's not worth it too. What's there's some sort of an expression somebody came
up with the rhymes don't drown, turn around, or something something like that.
You don't know what's in look you you might think you can make it
through that enormous puddle, and maybe you can, but maybe you can't,
and you don't know what's in that puddle. There could be in Hillsboro,
New Hampshire yesterday there was a road that just completely buckled. No one was
hurt, apparently no one was on that part of the road when it happened,
fortunately, But but you know, you see a giant puddle like that
where the road is flooding, you don't know what you're driving into. Not
only might the water be deep enough to stall your car and then you get
stuck, but or worse if you gets swept away in it. But for
all you know, too, there could be a giant sinkhole that's forming below
that puddle. You know, anything can happen, so just don't do it.
It's not worth it. You know, you can always find a way
around, or you can always pull over somewhere. And because the thing is
with these flash floods, what I've noticed is once it stops rating, the
water does recede very very quickly, so just be a little bit patient,
and it's it's the better option. So but yeah, we've had We've had
quite a few instances this summer so far of where you know, when it
starts raining, it just rained so hard. I've told the story more of
an anecdote. Really. I suppose a couple of weeks ago, I was
on my way here and I made the mistake of I'm standing on the porch
waiting for the rain to let up a little bit, because I was on
my way in to do the show, and I do most of my show
prep at home so that I'm pretty much ready when I come in. But
I still I like to get here by you know, I'm live at four
pm. I like to be on the I like to be in the chair
and kind of getting settled in no later than three thirty, So I try
to get here by three thirty at the latest. So I'm definitely ready for
four o'clock. But that day, I'm standing on the porch and it's just
pooring, and it was the loudest thunder I've ever heard in my life,
and I kept waiting for it to just just enough of a break that,
you know, because I bring my own computer in with me that I used
during the show, I don't want that to get wet. I can get
wet, I don't want my computer to get wet. And that bag that
I have is an exactly waterproof and I just I'm waiting and waiting on the
poor for it, just for it to lighten up just a little bit so
I feel like I can get to the car without my computer getting wet.
In hindsight, what I should have done, I didn't think of it until
after. What I should have done, since I was so concerned about my
computer, I should have gone back upstairs, gotten a garbage bag, put
the computer, wrapped the computer in a garbage bag, and put it in
the bag that I used to bring it here, and that would have definitely
kept it dry. But I didn't think of that until later. So I'm
standing there and waiting and waiting, and the rain just wasn't lighting up.
It was coming down so hard, and it just wasn't lighting up at all,
not even a tiny bit. Finally, I'm looking at the time,
I'm like, I gotta go now. I'm gonna be late. If I
don't leave now. I have to leave now. And I left and I
got out onto the road and I was like, oh boy, I waited
a little too long. There's one big intersection I have to go through where
it was a little bit scary. So that was a teachable moment. But
and I hope, you know, I do see both. I think Melanie
and Jay fed are both in the chat room. I hope everything is okay
in Vermont, you know, mon Mont Peerie or Vermont. You know,
Melanie has shared some images on social media, and you know, they've had
a they've had a terrible time recently, so hopefully things are better there.
But anyway, so I hope everyone survived yesterday. I didn't I didn't hear
in this area about anyone. Well, I mean, it wasn't like severe
flooding. It was it was flash floods, you know. But whoever that
person was no offense. If they're listening, whoever that person was who got
stuck on handover street. I hope you're okay. I didn't hear anything in
the news about you dying, so I assume you're okay. But I hope
you learned something. Then again, they're probably hopefully their car was fully insured
and they're going to get a new car out of it. So uh,
maybe it's a good day for them. I don't know, because if you're
I mean, you know, your car canstall if it gets too wet driving
through those huge puddles. Then of course you can also permanently mess up your
car, you know, if it's if it's up to your windows and your
car won't move, there's an excellent chance that you've damaged your car beyond repair
in the flooding. And again, if you're fully insured, that's good.
But if you're not, then I'm sorry for you. You should not have
tried to drive through that puddle. But the real moral of the story is
if somebody sets up a barrier of some sort with a sign on it that
says, you know, don't drive into this enormous puddle or whatever it says,
probably doesn't say that exactly, but that's there for a reason. The
authorities have put that there for a reason. I say this with apologies to
any of my libertarian friends who might be listening who think that government is only
here to make your life harder. You might not accept what I'm telling you,
but it is the cold hard truth. They put that there for a
reason. The barrier is there for a reason. And if you look over
the barrier and you see that where the road is it has now become a
pond or a river, that might be the reason that the barrier was put
there. So you should pay attention to that. There you go. That's
my uh my homily, if you will, my sermon, as they used
to call it when I was a kid going to Saint John's. By the
way, we do have a great guest coming up in the second hour,
So I opened up with a couple of songs. Today I opened actually with
susie Q by the band Credence Clearwater Revival. That's a little bit of an
inside joke. If you know, you know, and very few people know,
but I think, I think it's funny. Jenny is in the chat
room, and I saw that she appreciated it. It's a little a little,
a little hello. I'm waving the hand as I once heard someone say
to a friend out there, susie Q. Um. I've never actually met
susie Q, but I like her work or his work. There's speculation it
might be a susie Q might actually be a male. We don't know the
actual gender of susie Q, so we can we can refer to susie Q
as they them. It's fine, it doesn't matter. The point is a
salute, a wave of the hand to susi Q. And then we heard
Relentless. Of course that was a radio edit. If you noticed a few
words missing, the radio edit of the track Relentless from the band Vain,
and they are going to be skyping in today at the top of the hour
as we approach five pm. I'm gonna play another song of theirs. I'm
gonna play my favorite of their's track called All of Me, which is really
good, but I think Relentless is the current single that they're pushing, So
if you'red i'd play that at the top of the show. Really great stuff
that gets the adrenaline going. That's something you want to listen to when you
first wake up in the morning. If you're out of caffeinated beverages. You
could put that on. No. I really like that though. I like
their sound. It's it's heavy, but it's melodic. I dig that.
So they're gonna be skyping in at five pm, might be four pm their
time. I'm not sure they're in Texas. Yeah, Texas. That's Central
Time Zone right all the way from Texas. So looking forward to talking with
them. That will be coming up at the top of the hour, and
we'll play some more of their music as the show proceeds as well. So
let's take a moment and say hello everybody. Well, actually, let me
give the studio line first, and then we'll say hello everybody in the Facebook
live chat. But the studio line is open six zoo three two five zero
six z seven six zo three two five zero six zero seven. You can
also text me at six one seven nine one seven four four seven six.
I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email me Matt at Matt
Connerton dot com. And of course you can interact endo Pine in the aforementioned
Facebook live chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear
your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six zoo three two five
zero six zero seven six zo three two five six seven. J Fed is
in the chat and says good afternoon everyone. Jenny is in there, of
course and says shalom, peeps, Crystal, our friend from the great state
of Illinois. Also in the chat room, we have a call. Our
friend Shannon is on the line. High Shannon, Good afternoon, Good afternoon.
I think it's the first time I noticed you're mentioning Cristal. I was
wondering about her if she was our excited. I don't think like Easy hasn't
been called in yet. Easy, if you're listening, call in and say
hi, yes, Easy g We haven't heard from him. He did not
call in Thursday last week to do his entertainment report, or as I like
to call it, his Amanda McCarthy, April Cushman Katie Dobbins Report. But
he has a long history though. Yeah, he disappears for a few months,
and then he reappears, and then he says, oh, I just
needed some time away, And then I wonder where he goes. I think
he just goes somewhere in his mind into the death. Yes, I don't
even want to think about it. Could be both, I don't know,
but yeah, so I'm sure we'll we'll hear from him at some point.
But no, Crystal shows up in the chat room pretty regularly. Well,
yeah, you usually, but I just either haven't heard it or I haven't
noticed you say it. Lately, m because I was thinking to myself,
I haven't heard him mistake Crystal from Chicago lately, right right, Well,
I don't say Crystal from Chicago. I say Crystal from Illinois. I don't
know if she's sorry. I don't know if she's in the great city of
Chicago. You might be thinking about Chicago. Because Friday on the show,
our musical guest was the great Dave Wally, who I went to high school
with. He's got this fantastic band, Satellite Union, and that was a
lot of fun. Dave skyped in and uh wow, that was cool,
and he was wearing a Kiss shirt. Now you all couldn't see it because
you can't see the video of the people when they skype in, but he
had on a Kiss shirt, which was really cool. I felt vindicated because,
as Dave and I discussed on the show back in high school, he
made fun of me for being a Kiss fan, but now he likes kiss
and respects them, and he was wearing a Kiss shirt on Friday, which
was very, very cool, So I appreciated that. That was wonderful lot
talking with Dave. If you haven't had a chance to listen to it,
it is in the archive and it was a lot of fun. And that
band is great. I'm not surprised. Dave is a very talented musicians.
Was but check out Satellite Union, really good band. Yeah. The other
day I wanted to ask you Tuesday when the Tricombs were on. Yes,
Now, is that available anywhere on the internet. Oh of course yes.
All the shows are archived at WMNH Radio dot org. Yeah, but there's
no video on that. No, the video is on Facebook if you go
on Facebook or or I also do put them up on the YouTube. The
YouTube, so it's on YouTube. Oh yes, yes. In fact,
if you just go on YouTube and type in Matt Connerton Unleashed Tricombs, it
should come right up. Oh well, I'll have somebody to do it.
Yes, have Kyle do it. The next time he goes to give you
a big hug. Well, I hope you know. I don't know if
he's listening or not, but I don't know. It would be nice to
have one in two, you know, a couple of months, a couple
of months, two hugs a month, that's what you're looking for. Let's
not asking my I mean I have no um, I got basically no human
contact. But you know. I mean, I go out to a store,
I get what I got to get, and I come home. And
today I went to a Walmart. And I'm not going to whine and cry
and dwell about it, but I could not see as much as I did
the last time I've been out, And I don't know, it's kind of
worrisome. Oh. I won't say scary, because it's to be expected.
But in terms in terms of your vision, yeah, that that center.
If you picture a donut with a hole in it, yeah, well,
picture doe being put in the center of the hole and then it gets added
to a little bit and a little bit and then you just have a little
tiny, round, clear thing between the hole and the donut. I got
you the donut. Yeah, So I noticed that today. And the thing
is, I'm not so much sheltered as I am isolated, right right?
Is it is it? Uh? What is it? Channon? Is it
glaucoma star Guard's juvenile macular degeneration? Oh, macular degeneration? Okay, gotcha,
Yeah, but but start meaning I just got I got a new name
for it. In ninety three, it was maculate degeneration. In nineteen eighty
it went to star guards, juvenile macular degeneration one doctor liked to call the
macular dystrophe. Then I have cataracts, two kinds. Did you know there
were three kinds of cataracts? I did not. Yeah, there's this the
nucular uh um cataract. There's the posterior subcapular cataract. I have those two,
uh, and then the other one I don't know because I don't have
it yet. Yeah, the pause stereor cataract. Do you get that on
your backside instead of your eye? See what I did there, made a
little That's why I'm in an afternoon drive, Shannon. Uh huh, That's
why I'm an afternoon drive. I've got I've got jokes. Well yeah,
well I'll tell you. I had to tear my retina once. And you
know when you talk about lasix and stuff like that, that's easy. That's
the corner, that's the right you're right. You can touch that, Yeah,
you know your corner. It's right there, it's the front of you're
right. Yeah, but the retina is way back. Yeah, and you
have laser hit that. Oh did that hurt? M hmm? That hurt?
Yeah? Yeah, that was the only Yuh that doesn't matter. But
no, it's it's concerning me. Is that in? Is that in both
eyes? Yeah? Well yes, everything's in both eyes except the posterior subcapulars
only in the left eye. Okay, I also have Uh, this is
a real treat assilopsia. I'd like to strap jeff Nyon down, put contact
lenses in his eyes to make them stay open and make them look at that
and see how long it takes him to puke. Uh, I'm I'm sorry,
I'm stuck on. I want to strap Jeff Nyon down. Um,
that's uh, well, you know, I mean whatever you're whatever you're into.
By the way, Jenny uh sending some support in the chat room,
She says, I see my retina specialist tomorrow morning. Hugs. Okay,
good luck. Yeah, I mean I have my own I have my own
eye thing. I have pigment terry glaucoma. But I'm fortunate they caught it
before I before I technically even had it, when it was still pigmentary dispersion
syndrome, which is often a precursor to pigment terry glaucoma. So I was,
I was very fortunate. So I just have an eye drop that I
have to take once a day that controls of the pressure and I'm good.
So they have to do with the pigment in the color of the Irish No,
no, mis are blue. But no it doesn't. They they call
it, uh when you get the pigmentary dispersion. It has to do with
the spindles that they see. I think I don't fully understand it myself,
but I've had this disease all my life. I don't understand it. You
can look it up in end More. Yeah, yeah, I Mine was
discovered because I had lasic done and so my eye doctor at the time,
doctor Fogel, doctor Aaron Fogel, she's she's fantastic. She um, she
did the lasic to correct my vision. But because I was going for regular
checkups after that, like every six months, she she noticed I had the
pigmentary dispersion syndrome. She said, we got to keep an eye on this
because very often it's a precursor to pigmentary glaucoma. And sure enough, within
I think two years, she had me dog with the pigmentary glaucoma. But
but the thing is it the good thing about it is and it sounds weird
to say it this way, but if you're going to have glaucoma, the
kind that I have is the kind that you want to have because it's it's
easy to treat and if you if you catch it in time, it doesn't
advance at all. Um So, so i'll my vision is not at risk.
And as long as I say on the eye drops, you know,
I shouldn't have any issue. But although there's other things that can go wrong
as you get older too, I realize that like cataracts for example, And
oh I hope I don't get one on my pasterior. I'd be terrible and
macular U Hopwood said he had macularity generation. Yeah he did mention that,
didn't he? Yeah? I think in one eye. I don't think he
has it in both eyes though if I remember correctly. Well, I don't
know if he's listening. Is he in the chat room? No? I
rarely only once in a while do I see John Hopwood in the h in
the Facebook live chat. Only once in a while, if you can read.
But next time he's on, I'll try to call and remember to co
and tell him something, okay that might might help. I don't know,
tell him something good. Yeah, oh, I know what it is.
You're gonna tell him you want him to go and give you a hug.
Is that what it is? Because I because you're looking for two hugs a
month, right, So if you get maybe he and Kyle, you know,
Kyle can do one a month, John Hopwood can do the other one.
I'd be nice. You'd like a big hug from John Hopwood, wouldn't
you. Yeah? Yeah, probably you could hug him, and you can.
You can kind of pick him up, you know, Yeah, yeah,
one from Jennie from Juno. Oh, okay, Morning Show Jesus.
Oh do you want to hug from him because of his hair? Morning Show
Jesus. Oh, I like long hair. Dude's got great hair. I
don't know what his hair looks like. Oh Jesus. They call him Mourning
Show Jesus for a reason, and he does have he's got the hair.
That dude gilded that gilded color. It's it's not the color, it's it's
the uh. It's the what do you but what's what's the term. It's
not that, it's the it's the fullness. It's the uhal the volume,
the volume, that's the word. I was looking for. Oh, yes,
just incredible, incredible. I covet his air. Oh but you used
to have long hair. Yeah. Do you ever cut it? Yeah?
I tend to every every now and then I'll just grow it out long and
then I say, wow, this looks horrible. I should probably cut it.
It doesn't look horrible. Well, it's long hair. It gets to
a point where it starts to look a little not It starts to look like
I'm not twenty years old anymore. But I'm running a hair I hadn't.
In English, I think it was mister Landry. He had a pony too.
Yeah. In creative writing, Yeah he was. He was a nice
guy. Yeah. I had a ponytail for a while when my hair was
really long, when I was playing in a band, and I would take
the ponytail out when i'd hit the stage and then whip my head around and
my hair would be flying everywhere. And it was glorious. I must say.
I think there's pictures of it online and perhaps some video. It was
glorious. But those days are gone, Shannon, I've moved on. Yeah.
Did Jenny have a nice birthday? Yes? Uh, yeah, Well,
I mean, you know, kind of stayed put because the weather was
terrible. Well yeah, but yeah, but uh yeah. That's when she
says, I'll take a rain check on where you were going to take me.
Hmm, that's when she says, I'll take a rain check on where
you will go. Oh oh oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were
making a pun rain check because it was the weather was terrible. Well all
right, Shannon, all right, will you take care? Well, thank
you, thank you for the call. And I could use some prayers of
it, if anybody does you know I could? I could use him words
to the big guy upstairs. Oh. DJ Steve is in the chat room
once to know if you would accept a hug from him. Yes, I
would now him. You could probably pick up while you're hugging him, pick
him up and let him dangle pick I mean, how tall do you think
I am? I have no idea. You couldn't tell him the picture.
Um, I can't remember if you were taller than Kyle Clayton. No,
I wasn't taught. I was. I was a little tiny shorter. Oh
okay, maybe you couldn't picked DJ Steve up or John Hopwood and dangled him
in the air. I don't know. Maybe not maybe not. Yeah,
everybody come by giving me a hug a week. Yeah, that'd be good.
There you go, hugs for Shannon, all right, take you two
bye bye? All right? Always nice here from our friend Shannon. That
does open up the line for you. Six O three two five six seven
six three two five O six zo seven. And if you're just joining us,
we have a great musical guest today coming up at the top of the
hour. We're gonna be joined by all the way from the Lone Star State.
Oh it's too bad, Texas. Mike isn't here with us today.
The band Vain and by the way, if you're looking for them online,
they spell it v E I N, but both the V and the N
are capitalized. Vain is our musical guests. We did open with one of
their songs, and we're gonna play another one of their songs. Actually,
just a little bit before five, I'm gonna play my favorite track from them.
It's called All of Me. And then when we come back after that,
we should have them on the on the UM Skype. Oh, Jeff
Nyan isn't the Facebook live chat says I'd pray for her, but I don't
think it would help now, is that, Jeff? Is that because you
just you don't think prayers would help Shannon or you or are you just not
on good terms with the big guy and you don't think he's listening. I
don't know. I mean, I you know, I'm a little lapsed in
my theological practices myself, to the chagrin of my dad, of course,
So I don't know how any of this works anymore, to be quite honest
with you. Let's see, we'll finish saying hello to everybody in the Facebook
live chat. Melanie says, I'm super excited that we are all together to
witness the end of the world. The end of the world. Uh,
what do you mean? Is there something I don't know about? Oh,
the sound of the sirens? Is that what you're referring to? No,
those were I think those were firetrucks and things, at least I hope.
Crystal says the sound of sirens sounds like a parody of Simon and Garfunkel,
The Sounds of Sirens. Yes, it does. Actually, Oh, Melanie
says, I mispronounced mont Pelier. Is that not how you say it?
Mont Pierre. We've been bridle Bru apparently, I can't say it. Mont
Pierre, Montpelier, A stumble on that maybe I have a speech impediment like
somebody from New York. I know Montpelier, and that is difficult for me
to say. I can't think of another word that I say on a regular
basis that has a similar combination of vowels and consonants. I think is the
issue. Crystal, our friend from Illinois, has hashtag hugs for Shannon.
There you go, Melanie said, whoa there, cowboy. I am overseeing
all the hug action in Manchester from Vermont. How can you do that?
Alex Whiteley says, are one of our friends from the UK. I find
all this hair appreciation talk very baldest. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
I'm fortunate I still have hair myself. But but I have noticed,
strangely enough that my forehead has gotten bigger. But I don't know what that's
about. But my suspicion is I can't. Uh, there's no way to
confirm it. But I think what's going on is my brain, my enormous
brain. As I get older, it just it never stopped growing. DJ
Stef says, I can feel her hug here. Whoa, What's what do
you mean, it's getting weird. It's like a metaphysical or something. All
Right, we have a very busy Chatwoman'm gonna have to skip some of some
of these. Um oh, Isaac Banks, we always have time for our
friends in Greensboro, North Carolina. Isaac Banks says, how are you doing?
Hashtag Matt Connerton. Sure you know that. I will like to say
good afternoon to my friend Luca Huntley because I thank her for her she did.
I appreciate it to her of my best friend. She told me respect
to my brother hashtag Mike Banks. Um Luchera Huntley she helps women and men
plus the families. Hashtag Luchera Huntley, thanks for everything, my friend.
By the way, I would like to now, I don't know anything about
this Luchera Huntley. I don't know how she helps these people. I don't
know what goes on, but she sounds wonderful, and I would also like
to say thank you for everything. Luchera Huntley from I assume from Greensboro,
North Carolina. According to Isaac she helps women and men and the families.
That sounds fantastic. That's great. I would like to just if I might
suggest I'm just gonna throw this out there. I know this might be a
little challenging geographically, but if LUCHERA Huntley would like to come to Manchester and
give Shannon a hug, I think that would be great. That would just
be a splendid Melanie says, I have a barnfull of huggers in my stable.
I will have a barnfull of huggers in my stable by the end of
the week. At evil laugh here. What does that mean? Are you
planning on kidnapping all the huggers and bringing them to your barn. I don't
understand what's going on here, Melanie, but it's very confusing to me,
and it's a bit disconcerting. I'm worried about this. Melanie says she scolded
me for swearing. Can someone please let her know this is my superpower?
Yes, well, you can certainly swear in the Facebook live chat, just
not on the air. Hello to Tom Sapienza. I see in the Facebook
live chat. Hello there, sir, um oh, Melanie says, you
have to go back and read all my pimping comments. I I can't,
I can't. We have to move on. It's a very busy chat room.
Today, which is a wonderful thing. I love to see a busy
chat room. But give us a call six zo three two five six seven
six zo three two five six seven. The studio line is open. We've
got a few different things we could talk about. UM, it's one of
those you know, it's an embarrassment of riches. At times, there's there's
oh, hello to policy. I'm laughing at Melanie's coming. Hello to Policy
from retro Spectrum Radio with Policy Friday nights from eight to eleven PM here and
I have the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co host on this
show. I said that about as smoothly as I say Mount Pelier. Privilege
of being one of Paul's co hosts on that show, along with DJ Steve
and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry. Something quick, Um Media reports said Foxes
John Roberts calls for Trump to take on rivals at the GOP debates. It's
a democratic process. Let's see how you react. I am curious. Let's
see. I'd like to hear the audio of this. If you haven't been
following this, so in August coming up in August, I want to say
August twenty five will be the first of the Republican presidential candidate debates in this
cycle, and former President Donald on Trump apparently is not going to be participating.
Strategically, I agree with him, and you know it's not often you'll
hear me say that I agree with him on something, but I do agree
with him on that. Again, Strategically, he has no reason to debate.
He's going to be the nominee. He is so far ahead. No
one is going to catch him. All of these people, you know,
they're all I mean, some of them I think are running to be vice
president, like a senator to Senator Scott for example. But there is some
pressure on Trump now. Some people think that Trump will cave in because he
won't be able to avoid the spotlight. But he's done it before. He's
actually missed debates before. I remember in twenty sixteen there was one of the
Republican primary debates he decided not to attend. And if you're a call during
the presidential campaign itself, we usually get two every four years, we get
two I'm sorry, no, we get three presidential debates and one vice presidential
debate, so we get four a total. But in twenty twenty, we
only got two presidential debates instead of three. Trump decided not to participate in
one, and I think he held a rally instead because he didn't want to
agree to the rules or whatever they were. But I'm just curious. Hear
what John Roberts asked to say. So, I'm gonna If this clip will
play, I'm gonna play it. Sometimes the media player isn't so. De
Santa's George Mike Pats, Nicky Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, and
Vivac Ramaswamy on the Big Debate stage next month with Fox. All have reached
the forty thousand donor threshold required for the GOP's first presidential debate. Governor Asa
Hutchinson still hasn't cut that threshold yet. Meanwhile, we're still waiting on a
decision from former President Trump. He told Foxes Maria Bartaromo he doesn't feel like
he has to go. Ronald Reagan didn't do it, and a lot of
other people didn't do it. When you have a big lead, you don't
do it. It's actually not fair. Why would you. It's somebody that
said zero or one or two or three, it'll be popping you with questions.
But Sandra, it's not a final no. He said that he hasn't
really made up his mind. Sounds like it's going to be a game time
decision for him. I think we've all learned anything can happen at any point.
I shall hast me on all that for us. Thank you so much.
And John, we've got indications here on this program as well across the
network that you know, maybe maybe he will not be the former president debating,
but we will see. But there'll be a pretty pack stage and it
could be a make or break moment for some of those candidates at least,
you know, even if the former president is not there, a lot of
other candidates will be there. And to the question, why would you let
somebody who's a two or three percent be popping questions at you, Because it's
the democratic process. You want voters to get a look at all of the
candidates, and if you want to prove that you are the candidate that they
should vote for, well then let's see how you react to the questions that
are being asked. Yeah. Important part of the process for sure. Now
I agree, I agree in principle, but again, just looking at it
strategically, I don't see any reason for Trump to do it. I also
think that the other candidates might be better off not having Trump there anyway,
because if Trump is there, he'll suck up a lot of the oxygen and
you know, and he'll talk over people like usually does. He won't let
people answer and so forth, and he'll he'll be the center of attention.
With Trump not there, it does open up an opportunity for one of these
other candidates to kind of show their stuff a little bit. It will be
much harder to do that with Trump there. So as much as for example,
former Governor Chris Christy, as much as he postures and talks about,
oh, I really want Donald Trump to be there, I'm dying for him
to be on that debate stage with me. I think there's I think there's
a part of him that probably really feels that way. But there's also a
part of him I'm sure that kind of realizes, well, maybe it's better
if Trump isn't there, because Chris Chrissy will He'll attack everybody else. He'll
have no problem standing out as the alpha on that stage. Um and uh,
And he's the he's the one candidate who's really on the Republican side who's
really been able to um find it in himself to go at Trump directly.
Now, Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson also has been directly critical of Trump and
but but has talked more about how he feels that Trump is too interested in
vengeance, you know, getting revenge on his political opponents and retribution, which
Trump openly talks about in that speech when he said I am your retribution.
Um so so. Asa Hutchinson also critical of Trump, and Pence has been
in his own meek and mild Way and um Nicky Hayley kind of a little
bit, and Ronda Santis kind of a little bit. But you can tell
they don't like doing it and they don't want to do it, whereas Chris
Christie is the one person who seems to actually take joy in it, and
I'm sure he'd like the opportunity to do that in person. But he also
must realize at the same time that if Trump isn't there, that also opens
up an interesting opportunity for him to stand out, or for any of them
to stand out. But and by the way, there seems to be a
little bit of momentum behind Senator Tim Scott, but the people that the donors.
When I say momentum, I don't mean in the polls particularly. I
mean again, it's going to be Trump. Trump is just way ahead of
everybody. It's going to be Trump. But when I say momentum, I'm
actually talking about donors. There are some donors who are now switching, you
know, these high money donors who are actually switching, abandoning Ron to Santis
because they thought to Santis was going to be the anti Trump and they're now
realized that no, he's not, and they're actually switching to Tim Scott.
That's something that's been happening, which is pretty interesting that Tim Scott. But
Tim Scott isn't running for president, at least that's my belief. Tim Scott
is running for vice president. I think he has and I think he has
a shot at it. I could see Trump picking Tim Scott. He might
be a strong president vice presidential candidate, and he might in the future be
a strong presidential candidate. But there is no strong presidential candidate on the Republican
side in this cycle. Because it's going to be Trump, Crystal says in
the chat room, both parties need to debate. No one should ever assume
they have the presidency in the bag debates are like a job interview for the
American people. Well, again, I agree in principle, but I would
not suggest. I certainly would not suggest that President Biden debate. Incumbents don't
usually debate in the primaries anyway, and I certainly don't want to see President
Biden a debating RFK, who is First of all, I'm sorry to say
this. I this isn't something. This isn't a nice thing to say,
but it's just the reality of it. I have a very difficult time listening
to RFK. It really bothers me. You know, he's it's not it's
not his fault. You know, he's got some sort of a disorder that
has affected his vocal chords, and and he acknowledges it too. He has
said in interviews he's he said to somebody in some interview, he said,
you know, I feel sorry for anyone who has to listen to me talk
because I don't like to listen to me talk because I hate the way my
voice sounds. So he's you know, he's he's very he has some degree
of self consciousness about it. And so I would never make fun of him
for it. Again, it's not his fault that he you know, he
doesn't want to speak that way. But I'm just being honest with you.
And you know, if you want to think him a jerk for saying it,
fine, but I'm just being honest because I'm sure lots and lots and
lots of people feel this way. I have a hard time listening to him
speak it. It really just bothers me. But here's the other thing,
and this is this is where I will not h this. This part is
his fault. RFK is a lunatic, and um, I don't want to
see President Biden debating a lunatic. Uh. This guy just seems to Every
time I think he can't be any crazier or more of a conspiracy theorist,
he just goes even further. Now and we might I don't know if we'll
get to it. Yeah, We're probably not gonna get to it in the
first hour. Maybe we'll get to it on the back end of the show,
after our interview with Vane. He's going to be skyping in at five
pm. But um, now he's Um. I already knew he was an
anti vaxer, but now he's really going all in and on that and has
said some things that are uh seem to be anti semitic. And again we
might get into that later in the show if we have time today. But
uh, you know, and Conservatives are really embracing him. But I think
they're embracing him because it's not because of his polo. I mean, you
know, he's running as a Democrat for the Democratic nomination, and he's obviously
from a great Democratic family. He's a Kennedy. But but the Conservatives who
are embracing him seem to be doing so because they like them. They like
the the the conspiracy theory aspect of what he does. They seem to really
especially the anti vax stuff. They just really kind of glom onto that.
And we have a call. Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed. Who's
this? Oh hey, how are you? This is Greg from Clemenzo.
I would just call him to say hi and let you guys know that we're
listening. Clementos, Greg, Greg Joseph, how are you, my friend?
It is wonderful to hear from you. I'm doing pretty awesome, man.
Nice day out today. Yeah, yeah, it's clouding up a little
bit, but yeah, I also have a new listener named Dan that's listening
right now. So he's saying he's gonna be listening to you guys forever now.
Oh very good. I appreciate that tremendously. And are you on the
Morning show this week? Will you be on sit that one? What time?
I'm having a hard time hearing you. Oh that's okay. Um,
are you on the Morning Show this week? I like hearing you on the
Morning Show. When you go on, Yes, Monday and Tuesday mean Peter
White, Maddie and Kyle. We literally break it down. So if you're
not ready, it's not you know, just that the fifth place to be,
to be honest with you, we kill it excellent. Yeah, I
like hearing you on there. Greg, absolutely, thank you, Thank you
very much and I'll talk to you later. All right, Greg, thanks
for the call. Take care bye bye. Oh speaking of sirens, that's
so weird if you're just joining us. Earlier in the show, we heard
quite a few sirens outside it. He usually happens once a show. And
then Greg Joseph, one of our great sponsors here at WMNH from Clementosz Clemento's
Pizzeria, calls and there's sirens where he is all of a sudden, So
I hope everything's okay around there. But yeah, Clemento's one of our great
sponsors here at the station. And of course Greg usually you can hear him
a couple of mornings. He said, he was on this morning, and
he'll be on tomorrow morning too, on the Morning Show with Peter White,
which is weekdays from seven to nine am, with a replay from two to
four pm right before this show, and so you can check that out live.
And I always like hearing Greg on there. He's got kind of a
he's got kind of an understated, subtle sense of humor that I really like.
So's he's fun. And our friend Mike Doyle is on the line.
Hello, Mike, hey man, how's it going good. I hope there's
no sirens where you are? Yeah, no, no, no, okay
good. I was coming from Milford. I just started tuning you in here.
Oh hey, you know what I think they should do. They should
just have If you're going to run for politics, you have to you just
make it a rule. You have to politic you have to um, what
are they I'm missing the word here, but you have to uh in front
of it. You know what do they call I don't know why I'm during
a blank but um debate, you have to pay Yeah, And but I
understand Trump. He's so far ahead, like in a baseball game, you
got a big lead, you don't put your star pitcher, and you don't
put your your good players that could get hurt or get He's in such a
lead that you know all they're gonna do is so dats at him about his
legal woes womanizing, Um, you got frauds like Chris Christie, who's continue
to say he only built forty seven miles of fence. If he was on
a light detector, that light detector would would go off the table. I
mean he built forty seven miles of new fence. He built over four hundred
and fifty This is from the This is from the government standards of replacement fence.
Some of the some of the stuff in New Mexico, in places like
Dad, Texas were very breachable and old. So you know, the total
was I think the government said four hundred and fifty eight totals of new fens
and the rest was paid for and it's and the labor was paid for it
it's sitting there. So you hear Christy going around calling Trump a fraud for
saying I'm going to build all new fens. It's kind of lying, you
know what I mean? And I just I don't know how we get honest
people. But you just want honest people. Why can't it just be saying,
listen, I'm Joe Schmo, I'm Matt Connaughton, I'm running for president,
and I'm going to be as honest as I possibly can. You know
what I mean. It's just it's brutal. Well, people don't want honestly
though they want. The reason we get politicians who are not honest is because
we, uh, that's that's what we want. And the problem lies with
us we as human beings. It's it's really just human nature. We like
to hear. We like to be told what we want to hear, not
not the reality of anything. And that's how we vote. And that's a
percentage of that. Yeah, I think that's the problem. I think that's
literally the entire problem. We we don't human beings don't like to deal in
truth. We to deal in largely in fantasy. And that's why people can
get elected by telling you what they plan to do, and then if we
like what we hear, we say, oh I like that candidate. It
doesn't matter if what they tell you that they're going to do as even possible
or realistic, or if you have any reason to believe that they're actually going
to follow through. If they, you know, tell you what you want
to hear, you say, yeah, that's who I support. I mean,
that's but again, that's that's a human nature thing. I don't know
how you change it, unfortunately. Yeah. And the other thing that bugs
me is I'm a Republican. I lean to the right, but I kind
of consider myself a right center. I'm not a crazy righty. But yeah,
but I don't I don't understand why they're not making a big deal out
of Biden not speaking to the public more just having press conferences saying about everything
going on. You know, Fenton all in balloons, spy balloons, and
we never get to hear from the President to just stand in front of the
mic and say here's what's going on. Don't worry. We knocked down those
by balloons. They didn't get much material they whatever. Um, we're working
on the fetnel at the border. We're trying to cut that down because it's
a leading cause of death in males between eighteen and forty five. We don't
hear any of that, you know what I mean. We don't hear the
leader of the country standing up and saying, here's what's going on, here's
a here's what we think might be a cure, here's what's best, and
it's going to work out best for you. The common people who work hard
and make a living and have families and do whatever they want to do.
We just we don't hear that. We don't hear anything. So it's it's
just I gotta understand how it's frustrating. And for him to say he's not
not debating now, I mean, that's just that's that's opens up a whole
new Pandora's box. Basically, why isn't he you know what is he can't
he here? You know? Who knows what? But I don't know.
I just it's I guess, I'm I'm guessing I'm looking for that rainbow of
honesty. But it's like you said, it's probably a fantasy. Sadly,
yes, I hate to be so cynical, but yeah, but I am
just tell us what's going on, tell us what you're doing. Show us
what you're trying to do. You know, the government comes out every every
week, now every month, when they have a good report that inflation is
going down, and they tell you how well it are. Well, inflation
went up to nine percent, it was one point five when they took over.
Flation went up to nine. Now it's down to like five or four
and a half. And they're and they're patting themselves on the back of what
a great job we're doing because inflation is coming down. Well, no,
you you know it. You've got raised out of control there for a while
and now it's coming down a little bit, trying to moderate itself. And
that's all good. But for some they're taking they're taking the walk. You
know, we you know, we're doing so good for you. Well you're
not, you know, bring down gas prices, bring down groceries, bring
down electricity, bring down all the common stuff. You know what I mean.
But anyways, it is what it is. I did my rant.
All right, Mike, I'll let you go. I know you gotta guess
coming on and stuff. I'll talk to you later, all right, Mike.
I appreciate the call. Thank you, all right, See all right,
bye bye. All right. That was our friend Mike Doyle and it
is almost five pm. So what we're gonna do is we'll show some love
to our amazing sponsors, including our friend Greg Joseph from Clementos, of course,
and then we're gonna play this song. This is my favorite song from
the band Vein. It's called All of Me. Of the ones that I
listened to today, this is the one that I like the best. And
then by the time the song's over, we should have them on with us
via skype all the way from the great state of Texas. Really looking forward
to talking with these guys. Or it might it might only be one of
them. I'm not sure how many of them are skyping in, but we'll

That's not good. I don't think they hear me. Here we go,
Oh there we go about that. Oh yeah yeah, no worries, no
worries. Yeah, Skype will uh. Skype is an adventure at times.
So I'm half and this is Hunters for Bin for the Bin, and I'm
the singer and guitars for ba Hey. Yeah, nice to meet you guys.
Uh good be here. Yeah yeah, I really like what you're doing.
I love that I played all of Me to start the uh the segment
because that's my favorite track that I've heard of you guys. I did,
h I did open the show with the radio edit of Relentless. But yeah,
all of Me is is just uh oh that is so good. Um.
I love what you guys are doing. And where in Texas are you
from? Well, we're in tex Texas suburbs of Dallas. Yes, oh,
okay, gotcha? Gotcha? Um yeah, how long have you guys
been around? Have you? Have you been at this a while? Well?
So Baye's around in its current form only about what four or five years
now, five years So that bay was just a bunch of guys initially who
just like playing music and we would jam every blue moon, and then things
kind of took off and we got a little more serious about four or five
years ago, and so we've been drunking at it ever since. Very cool.
Um yeah, I like the sound. You know what I like is
it's it's heavy, it's aggressive, but there's also a lot of melody and
groove to it. And I feel like you kind of don't hear that much
of that anymore, you know what I mean? Do you find that?
Oh? I think you're absolutely right, and that's to me. Groove is
so important to our music and when we write, and you're right, I
don't. I don't think a little grooves is what moves you, you know.
So we like to have you shaking your butt. I don't bring your
head, didn't matter. Want you to move out there, man, that's
all we want. That's right, that's right. I don't think I only
guy was shaking my button necessarily, but I am sitting down so but I
definitely, uh, my head was definitely bobbing. That's right. Is exactly
exactly? Do you guys play out a lot? Well, we're just mainly
in the Texas areas, so we're you know, we just played Houston two
weeks ago, so we we don't want to just play here. We want
to want to hear our music. So obviously we're trying to get out and
this is one of those steps, obviously talking to guys like yourself. So
thank you for having us on the show. We really appreciate this. Oh
yeah, yeah, glad to have you. Um hef do you do?
Um? Do you do all the lead vocals? Because there's um some of
the vocals are very clean, but there's also some growling in there too.
Is that all you? So? That is all me? A live or
bassis shot who's couldn't he had he has a day job or something? Yeah,
yeah, he helps fell out of the growls. A lot of the
high pitched screens. I do what I call the cookie monsher voice and especially
at all of me. That's something you have the pleasure or in the studio
you can overlay obviously, you know. So that's that's all of me literally
in so maybe like some of the background textures might have been group effort.
Yeah, there was just the generic chorus type stuff. But what you hear
is primarily him. Yeah. Yeah, And like I say, live Sean
comes in with what I call the five scream on some of our songs.
And and even Chris as much as other guitars, he does a lot of
leads and sometimes let speedy leads, but he's got that beautiful edge, just
that beautiful voice that we've been trying to incorporate more of because he just he
just whether Yeah, he does sit there and play his guitar and not.
You know, if I said Chris playoff stage and the current you'd be like
thank god. Yeah right. Um, is it difficult to uh? I
mean these songs there's there's um you know, it's not your standard verse chorus,
verse chorus. I mean there's some intricacy there, is it Is it
hard to Is it hard to play these songs? Or or is that easy
to do? You know. I've been in some heavy bands, but nothing
quite where it was quite as complex as what you guys are doing. Um,
all the bands I played in we're kind of just you know, heavy,
but not not super riffy and complex. Is it? Is it challenging?
It can be sometimes, Like when I was learning All of Me,
all of Mes verse section kind of gets me a little bit because it's a
little straight. Yeah, but it's also kind of bouncing its own right,
and so like the the articulation between the arms and the feet sometimes want to
trick me up a little bit. Yeah, and I did it to myself,
damn it right, But it's a fun one to play, man,
and it can be difficult at times, but once you get it, exists
like riding a bike. Rehearsal right, exactly do that a week at least.
I'd expect guys to come to the studio ready and and and reprimand them
if they're not, because I get to be that guy. Yeah, I've
gotten and from Chris. Everybody know that. It was in fact Chris.
I wish he could make it, but he also had a job. But
he wouldn't want to be here if even if he could, because he was
like, well, because he's the shyest guy in the band. And and
me he might be the most musically talented in the band's better but I love
it when I trip him up when we change some of the some of the
arrangements I make, and when he messes up, I'm like, yes,
I'm doing one of those one. Yeah, you know, holespaces. That's
a weird, weird kind of you know, rich section to be just to
make it sound simple, you know, I like it. Because I like
it, I want you first to move, as I was just bitching if
you're grooving to it. However, and then the second thing I don't want
you to hear my lyrics is I really believe I have a message to say
in every song. Yeah, but I want to give it to you in
a way that's not just gonna be in your face all the time or just
you'll fast as hell, and just I want you to trip off and go,
oh what that just happened? There? Why you hit that note right
here? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. A little speaking of the lyrics have
is there um? Is there kind of an overarching theme through the songs,
or because uh, the lyrics are interesting and it's it's it's um they do
pull me in and I'm curious about what you're you know what you're talking about
with with these um, I mean, what's the process? There is a
theme. But if there is a theme, it's about life. You know,
life happens to all of us. It's a it's about being a relentless
and getting back up or all of me. I like to feel like that's
you know, I give you all of me, yet you run away.
That's love loss, you know. Yeah, and we all experienced. So
I'd like to write my songs about things that happened and having to me,
having to my friends, happened everybody, I hope. I would like to
think everyone and just say we all we've all been here. Yeah, we
all been here, and I'm bitching about it or or maybe pacing about it.
I'm using bitching about it, not gonna lie, but I want you
to know you're not the only one struggling because we are too. And it's
okay, We're all on the whole, yeah, the whole thing. Yeah.
So so if there is a theme, it's about life. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, you're here, you buy you write a song about my
bitches in my Lamborghini. Hey, that's that's um understood, understood. Yeah,
I like relentless. I like the um the message there and and you
know, just about keep pushing forward and just uh yeah, I like the
I like the whole thing. I like the I like the vibe and um
um yeah really good. You know. I like it's positive what you're what
you're saying in terms of the messaging, which is good because you know,
some people who aren't in the heavy music they kind of think it's I don't
know, it's all about Satan or whatever. You know what I mean,
like it really is right, power and overcoming a lot of your current situation,
man, right exactly, inception. We're not all black metal, man.
Yeah. I won't write a song about Satan yet that you know,
but if it comes out, it might come up. Actually, I talk
about the Devil and one of our newest songs called we Afford. We haven't
recorded yet, but it called straight Jacket, and that might till back tie
back into the COVID and just everything we've all gone through the past few years.
Yeah, And I do mention that, you know, there could be
some evil forces behind all that is. Um yeah, So so speaking of
that, are you guys able to because I know, obviously the pandemic really
upended the music scene in terms of playing live. So are you guys trying
to play out as much as you can now to kind of make up for
lost time or do you kind of yea, like a lot of a lot
of the places have like opened up like hidden that first year though after a
kind of play band sort of first playing out, we did a couple of
shows where I was going, man, is anybody going to even show up?
Right of the fear out there? Yeah? And have we recorded words
in and during that time during played we might have played too much a little
bit because we were rewarded that no one was going to show up. But
I think we kind of overplayed in this last year. I said, let's
doll it back a little bit because we were we weren't having time to play
in the studio, to work on new material, to just be, you
know, do our job as a musician and get some stuff together. And
because we're playing so much, which you know, you know as a cursey,
as a curse and a blessing. At the same time, we were
honored that we could play so much. But at the same time, when
I was like, we have all these ideas just perculating we need doll it
back. So since COVID is the hard part was just getting back in the
group. But I think we've we've just now got back into that group maybe
you know where I feel like we're playing just enough and we're playing you know,
the Texas area only right now we were playing We're gonna do Louisiana show.
But it was just the well, the timing was rob But so so
we have we know, we're branching out as much as we can, and
so I think we're back in a good place. I think we're back where
we were before COVID, where I feel like we're we have that balance.
We can have some new material written in and we are working on and get
out there and show these people that are coming to our shows, our fans,
our friends, whoever, anyone. I only care if you our enemies,
but as long as I want you to hear our stuff and see what
we got. So I think we're a good spot down. Yeah. I
get the impression too, from talking to other bands from that area that we've
had on the show, that you've got a lot of options of in terms
of places to play there, right because you're in such a metropolitan area,
there's a lot of different places you can play and stay really active, right,
absolutely. Yeah, And we're like I said, we're just so we're
basically the Dallas for Warp area and what's really kind of silly as for War
has more have a metal scene than Dallas. Yeah, this is yeah Dallas,
but you know, we just we're Dallas kind of base. So it's
a little weird. So but Houston, San Antonio, Austin. I'll have
a great scene down there too, and we're trying to get into those scenes
more so. We're having fun doing that ots down in that area. Yeah.
So it's just you know, rights as independent. You know, we
got to figure this out on our own, which makes things a little tough
sometimes. I'm gonna lie, but you know, we we were good friends.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, not really matters, man. I have
a good time doing what you're doing exactly. By the way, there's a
picture on your website. Looks like you guys are in front of a pretty
big crowd. It says first show at Amplified Live. Oh that was phil
phil Ensmo on the Illegal Philoso and Pantera. That was that was yeah,
that you got to open that show. Wow, I'm not gonna lie.
The best day. We got rescheduled too. Yeah, we get we get
invited to play the show, which we're all elated. We were like,
holy crap, Robike, it was it was like Thursday, can you guys
do this Saturday? Yeah, they were like, crap, yes, it
gets canceled. Yeah, because like yeah, in like kind of the new
one. Damn it, we're gonna We're not gonna do this, but they
put it and then another band dropped off, and then they wanted a thirty
band, so we we were like, yes, we'll do it. Of
course short notice and show up and there's plus people and it's there's a line
out the door and what the hell? Yeah, like we're trying to drive
to the to the event and we have a friend. They were like,
Yo, we're supposed to like stand in line or anything, and we're in
the car driving kind of I passed that question for a second and then I'm
sitting in there in the seat like wait, there's a line. Wait,
hold on. Yeah, that was an incredible experience. It was I never
played in its own Dude. I don't know if you know this, but
so pets here only are they hugest influence, but we're working with one of
the producers sell Winfield. He produced those two songs he just played, he
produced, and so that tie in was just made it even more significant to
us. And then you get to to meet me and talk to you.
Trying not to be a fanboy. This is why I kiss your feet,
but I have to do here. You know pick that I played live you
specifically, Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, one of my guitar picks
I was. I was still nerding out and just a static from that show
because it was awesome. It was he was only only very nice to us
and very supportive. Yeah, and they just freaking killed it. Yeah,
of course it was awesome. It was so I mean, we were we
were our egos aren't that big. We know, everybody was there to see
Hill. Yeah, but we got such a good response from the audience.
We had bamboo guy, we have a guy we got that's so funny.
I'll tell you that. That way. We had people come up to the
our birch table and actually give us money, like yeah, like basically like
a tip, yeah, just a tip, get anything, but we want
to you have to, we want to support you. And I was like,
yeah, like that never happens. Yeah, I mean never it was.
It was. It was. It was half a dozen or so.
I was like, what I mean, could I give you a sticker or
something? They just wanted to give us money because we were part of that
show and the local guys and they knew that. And I found that was
like I didn't know what to say. I was blown awesome. It was,
it was. It was super fust It gave me encouragement too, because
it was, you know, maybe you're doing something right in pandemic, so
we're just kind of getting our our motor going again, if you will.
So she to those people, I love you experience. Yeah, it really
was, it was, it was, it was all. It was.
I can't I can die down. I've played with Pantera know that that was
a dream that could never happen, and it happened somehow. So Yeah,
as a big influence as Pantera is for the band, it's it's incredible.
I never got to a chance to meet him. Yeah is that to beat
beating and dime in different times in my life, but yeah, never got
to beat the stage with them. Yeah, share the stage at the same
venue at the same time, shake his hand like it's crazy. Yeah,
Oh yeah, Yeah, is that is that how you connected with that producer
because of that show? No? Actually, but I correct it was sterling
was I saw there was a trade magazine for audio engine yere okay, yeah,
I don't even it was some magazine to acture you. I would never
read again, and why I would read it to be in with was to
play board. But there was an interview with him, and the last line
in that interview said, I love working with new talent. Here's my email.
Talk to them. What the old nothing to lose? Right? Yeah?
Yeah? And I started a six month conversation on the email and one
day he goes, well, dude, when you're playing a show where you're
playing out, I'll come check you guys out. And I think he's in
New York or LA or something like that, and I'm like, well,
we're playing When we did have a show and I go where we're in Dallas,
He's like, dude, I'm in Dallas, Like what do I get
there? And he actually came out to Vain Studios so to speak, where
we're right down and watched the worst performance ever of us. You know,
Oh my god, I mean I've never been more nervous in my entire life.
And then this guy talked to us for twenty thirty minutes and broke down
our songs like no, I mean, I will listen to the music I've
created that way, he broke it down differently than we've seen it. And
you know what, if you'll mind, I'll quote what he said to me,
which I'll never forget. He said, hef you're not doing anything new
in metal, but what you're doing is combining all the different genres within metal
together, and each one of your songs is unique, and that's badass.
I want to work with your win what huh? Wow, I forget thy
after like expecting to get a beat down Call me in ten years when you're
ready, you know really it was really expecting that and been working with him
ever since. And matter of fact, I just talked to starlier and two
days ago. Uh, just's he's become a friend. I can't leave.
That's even happy, you know, he's just brand Yeah, he's my mentor,
and just wow, holy crap. I never saw those events ever playing
out in the way they have. And I'm so lucky, vain as so
lucky. We're also lucky to have become Yeah, this is the yeah,
he's been there, done that ten times over. What what what can I
say? You know you work with us? Yeah, now that's uh,
that's fantastic. Yeah, that's excellent. That's excellent. Well, guys,
um what should Uh, We're gonna We're gonna play another track in a moment
after we let you go. I think I'll I think I'll play Hollow Spaces
because, um, because you mentioned it. That's that's a great track too.
I love that. But um, what's you? Oh, by the
way, let me ask you this too, Well, where does the name
come from? And why why do you spell it the way that you do
with the capital V and the capitol N. Is there a story behind that?
Good question? So Vein is because music is in you. I really
believe this, whether it's your heart pumping it or whatever. So it's whatever,
but it's in your veins. Yeah, So it's the name Vein.
And then of course the logo the V and N actually or there's there might
be a subliminal image in that logo that is which well they're not. There's
no might there is. It's just I'm just gonna tell you, but that's
the if you imagine if you're looking at maybe a skull of a creature or
a human or whatever. Those are the eyes, and those are the horns
that are sticking out the top, and those are the top of the teeth.
I see it. Yeah, I'm looking. I'm staring at it right
now. I say, I didn't see it until you explained it. It
didn't come to me. But now that i'm yeah, yeah, that's that
is why we always capitalize the V in the end is to be part of
it. So there you go. Now you know the truth. Oh,
very cool, very cool. If you will, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, so excellent. You have it. And obviously, like I
said, it's because music is in our veins, all of us. Whether
you like met or not, you still have music in your veins. Yes,
if you resonate with it, man, it's with you. Yeah.
There you go. I dig it, I dig it um. Very good.
And what should people know in terms of following you on social media and
whatnot. You've got You've got the website of course, vein music dot com.
That's the easiest way in the bottom that patience links. But if you
want to just go to any streaming service, search for Vein Music. Because
there's a lot of other veins out there that are illitely using our name requires
lawyers and money which we don't have, right but Vein Music is usy what
I try to label everything under to hopefully so you can find us and Vein
Music on Facebook. So Facebook dot com, slash Bay Music say for Instagram,
no Instagram is official music been Vey Music will usually get you there.
If you're all for YouTube or iTunes, we'll get you there and and hopefully
you can find us and get some of our music. And yeah, that
helps. So that they've been once again, go to the babies dot com
scroll the bottom and you'll see a link at the very bottom that's play nine
ten different links there that takes you to all those services. And we just
created as a link tree. So we just created that. I'm still in
the middle of getting that all set up, but I think it's it's running.
I don't know how many links I have up there right now, but
link tree thought by Music we'll get you there too. Excellent, excellent and
uh oh oh and by the way, one other question too, when is
there a new new music on the way? You had mentioned writing a new
song. Do you know what? Yeah, well, we have eight new
songs that we haven't recorded, Okay, gotch So there's absolutely new music on
the way, and the only way you can hear this music is going to
a last show at the moment. Oh yeah, So we're working on and
we're working on it once again. It takes time and money, yeah,
and working on it, yeah, ain't you know? Affortunately cost a little
bit of money recording professional as much as we have the facilities of what we
call a studio here, uh, it's not that yeah, and especially working
with Sterling. Yeah, he's my friend Nolan, but he still charges Okay,
yeah, he's pals yare exactly. So of course we're talking with them
and we have we know, the hard part is going to figure out what
next couple of songs that we can record, that we can afford to record,
because we have still many favorites and we're always cycling through these songs that
write new ones because it's it's never any process right right, and well,
you know we live in a time too where you can just release singles or
you can hold back into an album or an EP. You've got a lot
of different options too with the way everything works. Yeah, definitely, the
goal is to do at least two songs. We would like to do two
songs every few months, every six months, and it's just it wants to
get it, but bowls down to money and unfortunately we don't get a lot
of that right now. Yo. Yeah, no, I hear you,
I hear you. Well listen, guys, Thank you so much, Half
and Hunter from the band Vein. I appreciate you guys joining us so much.

We're gonna play the track words from the band to close out the show
as we once we approach the top of the hour here on the program today.
So but yeah, those guys have a great sound. Like I said,
it's um. It's funny too because Hunter, the drummer, he was
talking about how during that song hollow space is how it gets tricky during the
verses there and then, so I was listening for that as I'm playing the
song. It's like, yeah, I can see, I can see how
that would be the case. So there you go. But if you'd like
to join us, the studio line is open six ZO three two five h

also text us at six one seven nine one seven four four seven six.
I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email me Matt at Matt
Connerton dot com and of course you can interact endo Pine in the Facebook live
chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear and enjoy
your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six three two five six
zoo seven. By the way, I see Sepsis in the Facebook live chat,
of course, a great band from right here in Manchester, New Hampshire,
doing great things. They've got a brand new video, by the way,
or well it was brand new last week. How how long is something?
When does something go from brand new to new and then from new to
no longer new? Has anyone ever established that? I feel like there should
be a hard fast rule on that somewhere, but there really isn't. It's
all relative, but we can still say brand new. I think it just
came out last week. The new video that Sepsis has for the track Bleed
Lines, which is their newest single, which we did the world radio premiere
for here right on, right here on Matt Connerton unleashed on WMNH. Great
track bleed Lines. They've got the video for it, featuring the new lineup
of the band, and it's very cool. It's on YouTube check it out.
Sepsis sepsiss if you're wondering how to spell sepsis. It's good to spell
things when it comes to band names so you don't end up lost lost in
the internet. Some things are some things are easy to are easy to find,
but sometimes you have to have the right spelling as Actually, if it's
a if it's something where well, who wasn't we were talking about recently?
Oh, it was Dank Sinatra, the band Dank Sinatra. Of course,
our friend Fredo who sometimes is on the show or calls the show. And
if you if you look for Dank Sinatra online, you'll find, Um,
I think there's at least one other band called Dank Sinatra, and then there's
a couple of hip hop artists called Dank Sinatra. And so you kind of
have to sometimes you kind of have to look and make sure you've got the
right uh, you've got the right right project that you're looking for. Um,
I don't have that problem with my name. Matt Connerton isn't exactly a
name that you know, if you google Matt Connerton, you're gonna find me.
You're not gonna find some other Matt Connerton. There is another Matt Connerton
right here in New Hampshire. But he's my uncle. And I did find
another Matt Connerton once on the Google. Uh. There there there's a he's
like a computer programmer or something. But but he actually spells it the other
way. He spells at conn e art o n uh, not c o
n n a r t o n. So the version of Connerton the way
that my family spells it is even more rare. It's a rare name to
begin with. But there aren't a whole lot of Connertons. But once a
year, I'll go on Facebook and I'll just punch in the name Connerton and
see who who comes up that I didn't already know about. And there are
some, I mean there there are Connerton's out there that you know, I've
never even talked to. But but I'll actually go ahead and friend of them,
which is kind of weird in a way, right, I'm friending them
on Facebook, but I'm not but I won't ever actually even bother to speak
with them, even though they have the same last name. It's uh,
it's it's odd, I know, Jenny says in the chat room. There
are at least seven of me in the state and many across the country.
There's a QVC host with my name. L ol, that's true. If
you google Jen Coffee, you'll you'll find Jenny, but you'll also find a
QVC host who's all so named Gen Coffee. And yeah, Coffee's a fairly
common name, but Connerton is rare. So I'm fortunate that way. I
don't have to worry about that again. Six three two five six seven is
a number six O three two five six seven. Um, we should because
we touched on it, uh in the first hour, but we didn't really
get into it. For anyone who's curious what we were talking about. RFK
Robert Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, UH finds himself as he continues
his apparent descent into madness. And this is why I would say, UH,
President Biden should not debate RFK. Let's not platform this guy, but
um he is. I saw one pole showed him at something like twenty percent
in the Democratic primary in New Hampshire. Of course it doesn't matter Biden's incumbent,
but and they just raised seventy two million dollars. But we mentioned RFK,
and we mentioned the anti semitism earlier in the show. This is what
CNN has up about this. Jewish groups denounce RFK Junior's false remarks that COVID
nineteen was ethnically targeted to spare Jews and Chinese people. Yes, he is
now saying this. And by the way, this portion of the show will
be edited out of what goes up on YouTube because I you know, I
can't even get into the subject without YouTube blocking the content, as I've learned
the hard way in the past. So if you're if you were listening to
the show on YouTube, you're missing this part, okay, it says here
are a number of high profile Jewish groups are denouncing Democratic presidential contender Robert F.
Kennedy Junior's false remarks that Ashkenazi, Jews and Chinese people are more immune
to COVID nineteen. Speaking out a dinner in New York City earlier this week,
Kennedy said, quote, there's an argument that it is ethnically targeted unquote
according a video, excuse me. According a video shared by The New York
Post on Saturday, Jenny mentions two in the chat room, it's on video,
so no one is making it up or blowing it up. He flat
out said it and meant it. I'm not going to actually play the video
itself because, again, as I mentioned earlier, I know it might not
it's I understand it's not his fault, but I can't. I can't deal
with listening to him. I find it very difficult to listen to him speak.
He also said, quote COVID nineteen is a is targeted to attack Caucasians
and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese
unquote, Kennedy said, adding the quote, we don't know whether it's deliberately
targeted that or not. Unquote. Ashkenazi Jews traced their trace their roots to
Central and Eastern Europe and represent a majority of the US Jewish population. The
American Jewish Committee told CNN in a statement Saturday that Kennedy's quote assertion that COVID
was genetically engineered to spare Jewish and Chinese people is deeply offensive and incredibly dangerous.
Every aspect of his comments reflects some of the most aberant anti Semitic conspiracy
theories throughout history and contributes to today's dangerous rise of anti Semitism unquote. The
organization said. The Anti Defamation League also criticized Kennedy's remarks, selling CNN that
his claim quote feeds into synophobic and anti Semitic conspiracy theories about COVID nineteen that
we have seen evolve over the last three years. In a tweet Saturday,
Kennedy said that the dinner conversation was supposed to be off the record and that
he quote never ever suggested that the COVID nineteen virus was targeted to spare Jews
unquote. Really that's what it sounded like he was saying. Rather, he
said he was referring to a study that quote serves as kind of a proof
of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons unquote. Uh huh. He didn't. He
didn't help himself any there, in my view. According to The New York
Post, the event's organizer, Doug Dechert, said the event had been on
the record. By the way, what kind of a defense is that to
begin with? Oh, well, what I said, I said this aberrant,
horrific thing, But it was meant to be off the record, so
you can't really hold it against me. I mean, it seems to me
that when people believe that they're off the record, that's where you know,
they're most likely to express their true feelings about something while they're disproportionate rates of
Again, this is from CNN, disproportionate rates of COVID nineteen illness and death
across different demographics. This has been attributed to racial disparities, not genetics.
Since the start of the pandemic, the risk of dying from COVID nineteen has
been nearly twice as high for black and Hispanic people in the US than for
white people. Data from the CDC shows black and Hispanic people also face a
higher risk of coronavirus infection and we're more than twice as likely to be hospitalized.
And by the way, just to stop on that for a moment,
so that we're clear that has nothing to do with genetics. People will hear
some people will hear that, and they'll say, wait, doesn't genetics play
a role. Why does it disproportionately affect black and Hispanic people, Which,
strangely enough, what RFK was saying was that it doesn't affect black people,
right, I think that's what he's said. Anyway, it doesn't matter,
it's it's what he said is nonsense. But um, if it disproportionately affects
black and Hispanic people. Says here nearly twice as nearly twice as likely to
die. You know, this was of course, during the throes of the
pandemic, not now that we have all these treatments. COVID nineteen is still
with us. We're never we're gonna be stuck with it for the rest of
our lives. But you know, we've gotten it to a point where there's
a large degree of herd immunity apparently, and also you know, you can
you can go to the hospital and get treated and uh you know, the
therapeutics and things at that for it. Now you're you're actually very unlikely to
die at this point, even if you do have underlying conditions. From what
I understand, I'm not a medical professional, but from what I understand,
we've gotten to a point now where you know, it's it's uh far less
deadly. But but just to be clear, the reason we see those kinds
of disparities, it has to do with economic disparity. If you are part
of a demographic that tends to have less wealth and fewer resources, be it
because of where you live, Say you live in an inner city in a
poor neighborhood, etc. Or you have less access to healthcare. Perhaps you
have a job where you don't have adequate health insurance. Maybe you just don't
have access to health insurance. Whatever it is, you know, there are
certain there are certain types of disparities financially and economically that affect black and Hispanic
populations, you know, much more than than white people. That has to
do with economic disparity. That's got nothing to do with genetics, just to
be clear, So because again some people will hear something like that and they'll
be confused by it. So if anyone was confused by it, I hope
I've clarified it. Okay, Jenny says in the chat room, Yes,
it is ethnic, not religious. Ashkenazi can be seen as genetic testing unlike
others. If there is a camera in the room and you speak well,
open mouth, insert foot. Doctor Marcella Nunez Smith, a chair of the
Presidential COVID nineteen Health Equity Task Force, wrote in a report last year,
quote, given generations of systemic disinvestment in the health of black communities in the
United States, the starkly disproportionate rates of COVID nineteen illness and death are not
surprising. Unquote Kennedy who was pulling between This is stunning and also frightening to
me. This is not good in my opinion. Kennedy, who is pulling
between fifteen and twenty percent nationally in the Democratic primary, is a longtime vaccine
skeptic who has promoted several health related conspiracy theories. He was a strident critic
of the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and its top infectious disease expert,
Anthony Fauci. He also railed against the coronavirus vaccine and vaccine mandates. By
the way, and this is this is gonna sound like I'm taking a side
street here, But when I hear that this lunatic is pulling at fifteen to
twenty percent nationally in the Democratic primary against a city and incumbent president, tells
me a couple of things. First of all, it tells me that conservatives
obviously apparently do not have the market cornered on nutty anti science conspiracy theorism.
So it tells us that it's not just conservatives. Clearly, there is a
segment of the Democratic Party where there are also some really nutty people. Because
I'm sorry. Notice respect intended to anyone who might be listening who likes this
guy. But you might be a lunatic if you like this guy. Okay,
So it tells us that. The other thing it tells us, though,
is this, It tells us how weak Biden is and why again,
as I've said many times, he should not be running for reelection, and
he is selfish for doing so, and he must step aside and let someone
younger take a crack at it for the Democrats because and you might say,
Matt, you don't know that if it was somebody else and not Biden,
the RFK junior, you don't know that he you know, he wouldn't be
pulling at fifteen to twenty percent if it wasn't Biden it was somebody else.
You're right, I don't know that. But it's a good theory, is
it not. I'm pretty sure I'm right. I'm pretty sure I'm right.
I mean, I saw a pole recently that said seventy percent, seventy percent
of Americans across the political spectrum don't want either Trump nor Biden. America doesn't
want this rematch of the twenty twenty election. We don't want to rematch in
twenty twenty four, and age has a lot to do with it. As
much as I try so very hard not to be agist, we need some
younger energy in there. We don't need an eighty year old versus a seventy
seven year old. We just don't. That's just a reality. And call
me agist if you want to, fine, But I'm just telling you we
need some young energy. I mean, you know, I always say on
the show, how about a young sixty five year old whipper snapper to get
in there? You know. But but that's where we are, right So,
I mean, say what you want about Joe Biden's record. I agree
with some criticism of him. Some of it I think is unfair. In
some ways, I think he's done a good job, um and in some
ways I have some criticism. But regardless, he should not be running for
reelection. We are probably going to have on the show soon. We're not.
We're never gonna have RFK on this show. I don't. I don't
want anything to do to do with the guy, but we are. We
are going to have hopefully Maryanne Williamson, the author who is you know?
She ran in twenty twenty and she's running again for the Democratic nomination, and
uh, a representative from her campaign is as uh reached out to us UM
and Jenny is talking to him about getting her on the show. Uh so
uh that will hopefully be happening soon. UM, I'll talk to her.
She's actually very impressed. I know she left kind of a bad impression on
a lot of people, including myself in the twenty twenty debates. That was
clearly not the format for her. But um, when I watched a couple
of interviews with her, um, and I was actually pretty impressed. You
know, she's she's very very smart, very knowledgeable, um and and pretty
impressive and she does know the issues. Again that she didn't look great in
those debates, but you know, she was kind of already cast as sort
of the weird fringe candidate, right. Um. But but I do look
forward to having her on the show. But I don't believe if it were
somebody other than than Joe Biden, I don't believe RFK would be pulling at
fifteen to twenty percent nationally in the Democratic primary. I don't the guy's a
crank. Um. One last bit on this, Oh, hello to Miriam
Bannis. Joins us in the Facebook live chat and says Kennedy is a nut
one last bit here. CNN's k File reported earlier this week that Kennedy has
repeatedly shared unfounded conspiracies that man made chemicals in the environment could be making children
gay or a transgender and causing the feminization of boys and masculinization of girls.
The first time I heard that, by the way, I was immediately reminded
of Alex Jones talking about the chemicals that we're making the frogs gay. I
should play that song. I'm not gonna play today. We're gonna finish with
one more track from from Vain. But there's a song. There's a great
song about well anyway. We'll save that for another day. I haven't played
that in a while, though, but it reminds me of that. All
Right, we gotta go. We're out of time. Thank you all for
joining us today, and thank you so much again to the guys from the
band Vain out of Texas. Great stuff. We're gonna close the show today
with one more of their tracks, but if you miss any part of today's
show it we'll be up in just a little bit at WMNH Radio Dot org
and on my website Matt Connerton dot com for the full version of the show.
Of course, if you like to listen to the show later on YouTube,
the RFK segment will not be included. I'll have to edit that out
for the YouTube upload or YouTube will ding my channel. Even though I'm not
the one saying the crazy stuff, I'm just repeating the crazy stuff somebody else
is saying. But it doesn't matter to YouTube and the bots. So there
you go. I haven't complained about YouTube in a while. So thank you
all for joining us today, and we will leave you with this. This
is one more track from the band of Vein. This is great stuff.
This is called Words to close out today as Matt Connerton unleash. Oh.
