8
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,719
two thousand twenty three, so nice
to have you all with me on this

9
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,480
glorious Tuesday afternoon. Now on today's
program, there's there is an air of

10
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:40,799
unpredictability here because well so it relates
to an an event that's happening tonight.

11
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:51,000
So tonight right here in Manchester,
there's an event at Jewel Nightclub. I

12
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:55,000
believe now what I'm looking at says
something different than what I thought. I

13
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,319
believe doors open at six pm.
It's an early show, six pm.

14
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:02,680
Doors in. The show starts at
seven from what I was told, and

15
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:08,199
we might have in the second hour
around five pm. Now I say this

16
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:15,039
tentatively, because there are some difficult
logistics to all of this. Not for

17
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,400
me, My part's easy. I
just have to sit here. I'm here

18
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,520
four to six pm. I'm in
this seat, So the logistics is not

19
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:24,000
difficult for me. But for some
of the folks who may want to come

20
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,960
in, pop in on the show, or even just call in and promote

21
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,039
the big show coming up tonight.
For them, the logistics might be difficult

22
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:34,919
because this is a big show and
it might be uh, you know,

23
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,560
it's a national act that's coming through. So I've kind of left it up

24
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,120
to everybody, you know, join
us if you want to, if you

25
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,439
can. But I do know.
The tentative plan is William from the band

26
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Sepsis, and perhaps other members of
Sepsis as well, if they can,

27
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,240
they're going to try to come in
studio around five o'clock today, so as

28
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,199
we enter the second hour New Merrow
Dose, they're gonna they're gonna come in.

29
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,560
That's the tentative plan I believe,
So again, won't hold them to

30
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,039
it if it doesn't work out.
I understand it's an early show. Therefore

31
00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,120
it's an early load in. And
if you don't know, although even if

32
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,800
you don't know. You can probably
guess from the term load in that's where

33
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,520
the band's load in, all their
equipment, all their gear. It's a

34
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,719
bunch of bands playing. It's a
big deal. So but like I said,

35
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:22,800
it's early because it's I assume because
it's a Tuesday, so it's an

36
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,680
early show. So if they can't
work it out logistically, no hard feelings

37
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:30,159
whatsoever, believe me, I'll completely
understand. So we'll see what happens.

38
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,400
I've also let a couple of people
know that if they want to call into

39
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,120
the show to plug the show tonight, they're welcome to as well. So

40
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,960
we'll see. But hopefully in the
second hour we do get to see at

41
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,159
least William, and we'll see who
else from the band Sepsis, and perhaps

42
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:50,800
even somebody from the headlining act tonight
we'll see. That is all tentative,

43
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,800
but again there is an air of
unpredictability about today's show, So we'll see

44
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,800
what happens. And hey, even
if none of that happens, and again

45
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,840
I will completely understand because I know
the logistics of it all are challenging for

46
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:06,919
them because of the timing. And
believe me, I from my own experience

47
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:14,599
both doing shows and as a performer
and as a promoter. I believe me

48
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680
it's it's none of it is as
simple as it looks. Ever, and

49
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:23,920
it's not all glitz and glamour,
that's quite for sure. Now there's a

50
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,600
lot that goes into it and a
lot of nuts and bolts. So I'm

51
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:30,279
not holding anybody to anything. We
will see what happens, but I am

52
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:32,759
cautiously optimistic that at the very least
we will get to speak with William from

53
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,879
Sepsis today here live in studio,
So that's kind of the deal. What

54
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,560
is coming up tonight It is the
Dead Reckoning. The band is Dead Reckoning.

55
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,240
They're a national touring act. I'll
refer to what's on the website here,

56
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Dead Reckoning Bring the Dead Army Takeover
tour to Duel Music Venue. That's

57
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,920
us listened on here. It's really
just known locally as Duel Nightclub in Manchester,

58
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:02,680
New Hampshire, with special yes Sepsis, Edgewise, Dust, Profit,

59
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:09,000
Mark of Wrath and Able Blood.
Packed with local metal bands, This hard

60
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:14,079
hitting show will satisfy all of your
metal needs. I kind of suspect Ai

61
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,759
wrote this. This is from the
event Bright website. That feels very AI

62
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:24,800
to me. I'm not picking anybody. I'm I'm not busting stones over it.

63
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:27,959
I decided I think it's that.
Does that not because we talk about

64
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,319
it on the show, so it's
relevant? Does that not sound like it

65
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,879
was written by Ai? Uh Oh? This was totally written by Ai.

66
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:39,360
Okay. It says here doors at
six pm, show at seven pm,

67
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:48,160
come thirsty and ready to mash.
There is no way an actual human and

68
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:50,439
if and if an actual human did
write that, they should be fired.

69
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,879
Come thirsty and ready to mash.
Oh my goodness. Tickets for fifteen dollars

70
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:59,959
and we'll go fast, So don't
miss your chance to see some killer metal.

71
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,959
Okay, So that's happening tonight,
big show tonight at Jewel. So

72
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,879
yeah, so we'll see, we'll
see who who we hear from today on

73
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,199
the program. But I did open
with a dust profit track that was Hourglass.

74
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,680
I was messaging with Auto, I
said, Hey, I'm going to

75
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,079
open with something from your band today, and I was going to play song

76
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:24,120
four because that seems to be a
fan favorite. But at least with the

77
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,720
audience. Every time I play song
four, I see a lot of positive

78
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,480
comments in the chat room, but
Auto said, can you play something with

79
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,800
vocals in it? So I said, I'll play Hourglass. And actually Jenny

80
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,040
just said in the chat room my
favorite dust Profit song, so that was

81
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,600
a good choice after all, Hourglass
instead of song four. So and I

82
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:46,079
do love Auto's vocals on that.
His voice is just incredible. So there

83
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,000
you go, so a little bit
of dust Profit to open up today's program.

84
00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:51,680

90
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,519
thing to do so that we can

91
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:19,800
give us a call at six three
two five zero six zero seven. By

92
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,040
the way, something I meant to
mention about tonight's show that I neglected to

93
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,759
I want to make sure I mentioned
this, and I didn't realize this until

94
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,959
a few minutes before I went on
the air the show tonight. The local

95
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:35,319
promoter putting it on is Always Forward
Events, and Always Forward Events happens to

96
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:40,399
be the company run by our friend
Sam Beechard. He's been on the show

97
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:45,000
talking about Always Forward Events and also
his band House Lights, who have a

98
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,839
great song called Love and Understanding that
I absolutely love. But Sam's a great

99
00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:54,480
guy. Sam made a very nice
testimonial for me recently. I did a

100
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,600
hypnosis session with him, some hypnotherapy, which is confidential when I see clients,

101
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,560
of course, unless they are okay
with I've actually done a session with

102
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:09,959
a former United States senator, but
I can't say who it's confidential and I

103
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:15,959
was asked to not reveal the name. But uh, but anyway, Yeah,

104
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,720
so I did a session with Sam, and he posted a very nice

105
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,079
testimonial about the experience on social media, which I appreciate. But so this

106
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,959
is actually he's part of the show
tonight at Jewel being put on by his

107
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,320
company Always Foured Events. So I
didn't realize it was his until until right

108
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,279
before the show. I was looking
at the flyer, I said, wait

109
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:39,279
a minute, that says always four
an Events. So anyway, so that's

110
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:43,200
uh, we'll see we'll see who
we hear from today again. Six zo

111
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,240

studio line six three two five six seven.

suspect is from Greensboro, North Carolina,

116
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:09,360

00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,240
the name of a pop singing group
from Greensboro, North Carolina. Oop.

120
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,440
Sorry, that's what it usually turns
out to be. Archer Flight says.

121
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:31,840
We say, that's punk rock hashtag
Matt no dust profit. I would not

122
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,799
categorize as punk rock. It's sort
of sort of doom metal if I had

123
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:43,360
to categorize it, Jenny says,
shalom peeps. J Fed says, good

124
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:48,399
afternoon everyone. Archer Flight says,

Isn't she somebody famous or something? I

130
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,360
don't know. Alex Whiteley, all
the way from the UK joins us,

131
00:10:11,399 --> 00:10:16,039
a fellow podcaster and broadcaster. He
says, evening, guys, Sorry,

132

it's been a while. I hope
you're all well. Well, we hope

133
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,159
you are well, sir. Archer
Flight says, hello, Sepsis, we

134
00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:26,360
said you rock. Yeah. Hopefully
we'll get to speak with members of Sepsis

135
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:35,960
later in the program. Today let's
see archer Flight says, we say we

136
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:41,879
like our favorite version of Hourglass by
the band of Squeeze Fetch Stagmat. Yes,

137
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:46,399
Squeeze also having a song called Hourglass. Very different though I would say

138
00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:52,080
the Dust Prophet song Hourglass is in
no way a cover of the Squeeze song.

139
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:56,960
Two very different bands. I forget
Miriam banishes in the chat room.

140
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,039
I forget if I mentioned that Miriam
is in there, Hello, Miriam.

141
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,080
Also, Eric nan Rone joins us
in the Facebook live chat. I'm sorry

142
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,080
if if I'm not saying your name
correctly, he says, hello. He

143
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,919
shared a link in the chat room
yesterday. I haven't gotten a chance to

144
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,480
feel free to drop that link again, Eric, if you'd like. I

145
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,600
haven't had a chance to check it
out yet. But it's called the it's

146
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,080
a play on plan on words on
his last name, The Nano Second Podcast,

147
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:31,679
and I will check that out soon. Let's see. Archer Flight says

148
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,200
we are not suspects. We are
a pop singing group. I think that's

149
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,759
because I said I suspected that they
were a pop singing group. So archer

150
00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:45,360
Flight says we are not suspects.
We are a pop singing group. I

151
00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:48,799
don't know if archer Flight is correcting
me, or if archer Flight is making

152
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:54,600
a joke. I don't know.
Mike from Queen City Cabinetry in the Facebook

153
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,759
live chat, joins us and says
good afternoon. Queen City Cabinetry, of

154
00:11:56,759 --> 00:12:01,240
course one of our great sponsors here
at WM five point three, but also

155
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:07,519
Mike is one of our official co
hosts Now on Retro Spectrum Radio with Paul

156
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,519
C. Every Friday night from eight
to eleven PM. The honor and privilege

157
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,279
of being one of Paul's co hosts
on that show along with TJ, Steve

158
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,039
and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry,
and we have a great time. Oh,

159
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,799
Archer Flight, says Kara Kilmer from
the TV show Chicago Fire. Matt,

160
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,120
we said, now, Chicago Fire. I've never seen the show,

161
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,679
but that's a famous show, right, which means that Kara Kilmer is famous,

162
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:35,960
which means that she's being referred to
in our Facebook live chat and being

163
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:43,679
tagged, so she'll probably see that. So therefore it's almost like this show

164
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,720
is now famous because a famous person
is being tagged in our chat room.

165
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:48,840
That's how it works, right.
Well, I can't believe the moment's finally

166
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:52,559
here. That's fantastic. Every day
I google myself to see if I'm famous

167
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,919
yet, But looks like Archer Flight
has taken care of that for us.

168
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,200
We do have a call. Hi, welcome to Matt Connerton only East.

169
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,279
Who is this? It's Ridley?
Oh, Dave Ridley, how are you,

170
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:09,159
sir? I'm not too bad.
What's going on? Well? Uh,

171
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:13,200
porkfest. There's a little bit of
a music scene at pork Fest that

172
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:18,240
will be coming up on June eighteenth. Ah, now what is Porkfest for

173
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,840
the uninitiated? That's up in Lancaster, New Hampshire at Rogers Campground, the

174
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:31,120
prettiest campground in New Hampshire to my
knowledge, and that's like a liberty libertarian

175
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,919
sort of libertarian yet I think a
libertarian burning man. Um, yes,

176
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,120
now I understand. So there's there's
camping involved, which would not be for

177
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,480
me certainly, Dave, I don't
even go out into the woods. I'm

178
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,879
very afraid. Uh, there's there's
deer ticks. Uh, there's the Blair,

179
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:54,039
which uh you just never know what
you're gonna find in the woods,

180
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,200
but uh, you know, but
good for them. And do you uh,

181
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,720
I know that's the event has been
going on for a long time.

182
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:03,559
Do you go to that? Do
you go to Portfest? I've got about

183
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,000
every third Portfest, I guess I
haven't been in about two years and I

184
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960
probably won't make it to this one. But it's one of those things where

185
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,759
the kind of you kind of get
a law diminishing returns. You know,

186
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:16,320
after you've been to the first seven, they start kind of feeling a little

187
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,559
bit the same, but it does
get bigger every year. It's now selling

188
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,360
out every year. And you know, with all the people that fled the

189
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:28,320
authoritarian states during COVID, we have
had a lot of free staters, you

190
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,720
know, move here, and so
the event is now packed every year,

191
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:37,919
and it's there's traffic jams, the
there's you know, all the with all

192
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,360
the hotel rooms get sold out.
Wow. But you know many people do

193
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:46,679
not camp. You know, they
either rent a motel room right there on

194
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,919
the site where they rant a hard
h like an r or they rent a

195
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,960
they were in a hotel in town
or whatever. Yes, yes, I

196
00:14:58,039 --> 00:15:01,840
didn't know that. Actually I thought
everyone just camped. Dave, are you

197
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:07,799
are? Are you experiencing issues with
allergies? You? But you're talking about

198
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,799
the smoke? Well, your voice
got very hoarse. Are the smoke coming

199
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,200
down from a Canada? No,
we we did have a big we did

200
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,440
have a big air quality alert today
in Winchester. Um. It's uh,

201
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,879
you know, kind of reminds me
of when there's a big forest fire or

202
00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:28,440
something like that in the distance.
Yeah, no, we have that here

203
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,440
too. Yeah, the air quality
is very poor right now. I'm not

204
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,279
sure what's causing it. But that
may be causing you to sound different.

205
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,919
Okay, but yeah, I mean
there's a lot there's a lot of music

206
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
at pork Fest. Quality, of
course vary wildly um, but some of

207
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,600
them, some folks are pretty good. It's just not a it's not the

208
00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:50,360
focus. What is the focus?
Dave of pork Fest, sum it up

209
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,879
for us? What what would you
say the focus is? Uh? Man,

210
00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:58,639
I'm I'm not sure it really a
different for every person. But it's

211
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:04,440
just the eye of getting all the
freedom lovers in having the top world top

212
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,840
freedom, freedom event, the liberty
event, whatever you want to call it.

213
00:16:08,279 --> 00:16:11,320
That's that's what it is. Now
it's now I guess it's surpassed an

214
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,799
Archa Pulco, which is this thing
that used to have in Mexico. I

215
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,720
guess they still have it, and
I think ours is now bigger. Wow.

216
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:25,360
All right, very good, very
good, And now you go ahead,

217
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:29,120
Dave. You want to learn about
it, you just go to porkfest

218
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,600
dot com. You can show up
even though it's sold out, you can

219
00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,360
still show up. You just can't
get a campsite. I don't think you

220
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,720
can get a motel room on the
ground unless you get on the waiting list

221
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,279
or something like that. There's also
like this. It starts from the June

222
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,240
eighteenth, but if you want to
go to something that's at the same spot,

223
00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,000
it's a little bit smaller and not
sold out. You can just go

224
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:55,799
early if you go anytime between June
fifteenth and June seventeenth. There's a pre

225
00:16:55,919 --> 00:17:02,720
event called pork Fest, which is
a smaller and more hardcore anarchist type gathering

226
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:08,680
or voluntarius or libertarian or whatever whatever
word you want to use. The purists

227
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:14,000
tend to be at fork Fest,
and then pork Fest itself is more mainstream.

228
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,200
I would think I would think an
anarchist based event would be difficult to

229
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,599
organize. I've made a little joke
there. Yeah, and it's not organized,

230
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:30,079
but there's no attempt because it's smaller, it's not maybe not as much

231
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,519
need to organize. But one of
the Free State project, you still know,

232
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,119
as it gets it really kind of
explodes in size and we start,

233
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:41,480
you know, getting started to get
a little bit exponential. It's having growing

234
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:45,759
pains, and those those used to
be evident in the fact that you know,

235
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,799
Forkfest didn't have enough the facilities will
get overwhelmed by people in the bathrooms

236
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:52,480
will all get filled up, and
with pep, you know, people in

237
00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,039
every stall and all the time you're
hard to get a shower. It was

238
00:17:56,079 --> 00:18:00,279
still but that's sort of been dealt
with that now there's a different type of

239
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:06,160
growing pain in that Now while the
big name politicians want to speak at Porkcast

240
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,400
New Hampshire Primary and everything, Robert
Kennedy's son who's running for president, he

241
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,400
is, he's going to be speaking
um rfk RFK Junior. He's commonly known

242
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,400
as Yep Yep. He's running as
a Democrat, challenging Biden for the nomination.

243
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,680
But he's going to speak at pork
Fat Yeah. Yeah, So he's

244
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:33,279
a true big name in many different
ways. Yeah, and he'll be there

245
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:37,640
and that's great. On the other
hand, he's not a pure libertarian,

246
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,799
and so some folks in the movement
are kind of scoffing at him and welcoming

247
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,079
him with derision. And the worst
part to some people is that he when

248
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,640
he speaks, there's going to be
an area set aside for him to speak,

249
00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:53,680
and in the inside that area they
are not going to be allowing people

250
00:18:53,720 --> 00:19:00,440
to carry firearms. And this is
just creating howls of derisions, you know

251
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:06,440
within the libertarian community. Oh boy, of course you can understand why,

252
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:10,559
you know, considering his dad was
assassinated, his uncle, Sure, you

253
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,119
know JFK was assassinated. Um,
there's obviously you know, there's there's kind

254
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,119
of this. You have to wonder
if there's another crazy out there waiting to

255
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:23,839
to do something bad. Yeah,
you can't really understand. I I And

256
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,160
I'm glad. I'm glad you said
that, Dave. That that shows uh,

257
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,119
that shows a level of empathy on
your part that not everyone has UH

258
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,160
in that situation. So I'm glad
you said that. And uh, yeah,

259
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,440
I agree with you. You really
can't blame him. Well, this

260
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,279
guy is not Ted Kennedy, right, this is this guy is a real

261
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:45,680
traditional Kennedy. He's more like jfk. Uh. You know, he's outside

262
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:51,880
the establishment. He really does bad
at home or he hits out of the

263
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,400
park on a lot of different issues. For instance, he wants Edward Snowden

264
00:19:56,519 --> 00:20:03,119
pardoned, he wants Julie and Assange
pardoned, he wants um to. He's

265
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:11,279
got serious reservations about the war with
Russia. Um he um. He's he's

266
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,519
be something of an anti nuclear activist
and he has uh you know, he's

267
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:21,319
he's against vaccine mandates very strongly and
stuff like that. He's been kind of

268
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,440
like this for a while, so
he really is kind of you know,

269
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,680
the uh kind of like he's kind
of like TOOLTI gather, I guess in

270
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,599
a lot of ways. So you
know, I tend to welcome politicians,

271
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:38,440
you know, big name politicians taking
these positions as opposed to deriding them for

272
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:45,960
not taking all all the libertarian positions. Yeah, I mean part of what

273
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:48,119
is so there are many, many
things, but part of what I think

274
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,519
is so broken about our politics in
the United States is that people tend to

275
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,839
uh take an exclusionary uh attitude in
terms of, you know, everything has

276
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,240
to be in extremes and you have
to be all with me. You're either

277
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,519
completely with me on everything or you're
completely against me on everything. And there's

278
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:12,880
a resistance to letting anyone in.
I don't just mean, you know,

279
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,160
with the Libertarians at Porkfest, but
I mean with anybody, Republicans, Democrats,

280
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,119
whatever, there's always this resistance to
letting anybody in, you know,

281
00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:23,759
unless they unless they're all the way
with you. And that polarization I think

282
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:29,119
has gotten much worse over time.
So I'm not surprised that there are people

283
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,400
who are horrified at the idea of
him speaking there. But it's also good

284
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,680
to hear. And by the way, I don't agree with the guy on

285
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,359
on a lot of things. I
think he's a little bit uh well,

286
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,359
I don't want to say too much
because we might try to get him on

287
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,799
the show, because we're starting to
try to get some some of these uh

288
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:51,200
well known candidates. But um uh, I won't be able to upload that

289
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:56,079
day's show to YouTube if that does
happen, of course, but um but

290
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,359
uh no, but I um,
but it's also good to hear that there

291
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,960
are some people there who are willing
to welcome him and listen to him and

292
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:14,519
and be able to hopefully have a
respectful uh discussion about areas of disagreement and

293
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,119
uh you know, and and listening
with an open mind. I mean,

294
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,279
that's good. Well, he's if
he's following in the if he's kind of

295
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:27,200
following the Tulta Gabbard track. You
know, she was a gun control advocate.

296
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:34,880
When I interviewed her in twenty twinty
early twenty twenty m he was in

297
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,039
favor of these things called universal background
checks and other nonsense. Um. And

298
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,359
there is a claim on the table. Jane Noon is claiming that I may

299
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,240
have changed her mind when I questioned
her. She's a doubt that I was

300
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,880
the one that did it, but
she did change her position on firearms and

301
00:22:52,960 --> 00:23:00,960
now she against gun control. UM. So if that happened into Tulsi Gatherd

302
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,359
after her interactions in New Hampshire,
we can hope that this will also happen

303
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,000
to our FK Junior. Well,
I would have to say, Dave.

304
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,599
By the way, who is Jay
Noon? Is that a name I should

305
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:18,559
know? He ran for state Rep
last year or as the last election was,

306
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:23,519
and he's he's I guess maybe best
known for refusing to take a driver's

307
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:27,799
license. So he drives out a
license and does not have a social Security

308
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,480
number. And he he owns a
little property. It's either in where or

309
00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:36,240
Hinnaker. It's kind of right on
the line between the two. It's not

310
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,440
a little property. It's kind of
a actually a fairly big property, and

311
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:44,359
a lot of people live on the
property. I think it's kind of a

312
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:48,440
libertarian gathering point. I don't know
what to compare it to in the normal

313
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:55,200
world. I was just curious.
You said his name like it was someone

314
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:57,680
people would know, and I'm not
familiar with him, but um no,

315
00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:00,319
that's all right. I was just
curious. As far as Telsey Gabbert though,

316
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:04,559
goes, I would, uh,
I might pop your bubble. Uh

317
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,119
not that you are in any way
obligated to accept my popping of your bubble

318
00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:14,519
or the bubble that jan Noon has
tried to hand to you apparently, but

319
00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,839
h Tulsei Gabbert, in my view, if you have followed her trajectory,

320
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,759
I don't think it had anything to
do with what you said to her,

321
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:26,240
Dave. Honestly, I think she
just, um, I think she saw

322
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,359
an opportunity to kind of because she
was sort of already on the outs with

323
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:37,799
the Democrats. I think she saw
an opportunity to sort of cash in because

324
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:45,519
next thing, I know, when
when she started to change, suddenly she's

325
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:48,440
going on Of course, Tucker Carlson
is no longer on Fox. But all

326
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,519
of a sudden, I see tulse
Gabbert going on Fox News and going on

327
00:24:52,640 --> 00:25:00,920
these other right wing, uh not
libertarian, right wing conservative outlets and programs

328
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:07,400
and essentially agreeing with everything, essentially
agreeing with conservatives on everything and kind of

329
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,279
just um, I think she saw
an opportunity there. I'm trying really hard

330
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,440
not to use the term right wing
grifter, but I think, uh,

331
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:19,799
I think she oh, you know, I think she cashed in is what

332
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,559
was really going on there. I
don't I don't trust her. Yeah,

333
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,240
And I think you're right that I
did not change her mind by myself,

334
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:32,400
uh them, but I did.
I think you're you're making a point.

335
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:36,640
Maybe I was right about something else
and that when when I after I interviewed

336
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,599
her, I made the claim that
she she struck me as sort of an

337
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,720
American Churchillian type of figure, where
she obviously has a sort of greatness,

338
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:53,519
but it's not necessarily goodness. So
um uh sure. Now she went right

339
00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:57,759
after that and did what Churchill did. Um or you know, two years

340
00:25:57,839 --> 00:26:03,680
later she did what Churchill did.
The Churchill initially was best known for switching

341
00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:07,079
parties. So he switched out at
the He switched out at the Labor Party

342
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,400
and into the con what they call
it in the Tory Party back then the

343
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:18,720
Conservative Party and into twinties for thirties, I can't remember, anyway he left.

344
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,799
He left his party and that was
that was backwards. He was a

345
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:29,400
conservative and he switched over to the
liberals. That's right, and then he

346
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,000
switched back. Yeah. Then he
said that it takes a certain amount of

347
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:37,039
it. He doesn't take all that
much ingenuity to rat, but it takes

348
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:44,799
a lot of ingenuity and ingenuity to
rerat. Yeah. I um, I

349
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,240
get very suspicious, Dave. It's
it's one thing for someone's politics to evolve

350
00:26:49,799 --> 00:26:53,160
or devolved, depending on how you
want to view it. Um, depending

351
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,480
on what your own ideology is.
I suppose everyone can kind of make their

352
00:26:57,519 --> 00:27:03,480
own judgments about the individual who is
evolving or evolving. But um, you

353
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:07,000
know, I mean, I mean, I certainly don't believe all the same

354
00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:08,960
things I did ten years ago or
even five years ago. I've I've changed

355
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:12,519
my mind on some things over time, and I think that's very healthy and

356
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:22,039
perfectly reasonable to do. But I'm
always suspicious when I see somebody change so

357
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,759
drastically in such a short period of
time. That sets off an alarm with

358
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,759
me. That makes me go,
hmm, I'm not sure this individual is

359
00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:37,200
completely on the up and up.
And there's there's other examples I could give

360
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:40,480
of that, But you know,
look, I mean, people can change,

361
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:47,119
people should change. I tend to
as distrustful as I am of people

362
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,960
who just seem to change completely all
of a sudden. I'm also a bit

363
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:56,119
distrustful of people who seem to go
through their entire lives never changing their minds

364
00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,480
about anything. Not because I think
that they don't believe what they claim to

365
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:04,400
believe necessarily, but because, uh, they've probably sealed themselves into some sort

366
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,400
of ideological bubble where they're just not
open to any new information. Uh.

367
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,000
If you believe all the same things
at sixty years old that you did at

368
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:15,440
twenty years old, and you haven't
changed your mind about anything, then then

369
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,240
I don't trust that person either,
to be honest with you. But um,

370
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,839
yeah, I don't. I don't
trust her. But uh, but

371
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,599
that that's interesting. Your your insight
into her is is interesting as well.

372
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:32,240
Yeah. And if you know,
if you were to transport yourself back in

373
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,319
time eighty years, you would not
be able to trust Churchill either, Right.

374
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,759
You know it's normal with politicians.
Uh, you know it just are

375
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:47,880
not very many politicians you can trust, right. Yeah. The other problem

376
00:28:48,039 --> 00:28:52,200
is it's a systemic problem in the
United States because it's just not the physically

377
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:56,799
have an inferior political system compared to
the Israelis, or the Icelanders, the

378
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:03,160
Danes, or or maybe to some
even the British, because it's just it's

379
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:10,240
only allows two parties, so there's
no it's not like, it's not like

380
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:17,279
Tulsey Gabbert has a party that that
thinks like her that she can jump into.

381
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,559
Right, both of the parties they
have, you know, Option A

382
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,160
and Option B, and and if
you're slightly different from either of them,

383
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,880
they tend to drum you out at
the national level. And they didn't welcome

384
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,200
Ron Paul. They're hostile to RFKJ
and you'r uh. They were hostile to

385
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:37,759
Tilta Gabbert when she was in the
Democrats. Now that she's in the Republicans,

386
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,920
people are saying she's a rat and
she and she's just being an opportunist

387
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,079
and she doesn't really believe what.
It would just be better if there were

388
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,680
more parties to pick from. But
that's not that's not the way change is

389
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,359
going to happen. Agreed. I
was just looking up by the way while

390
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:59,160
you were talking. I was because
I couldn't remember his name, um Arlen

391
00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:03,359
Specter, I remember him, Senator
Arlen spector from Rhode Island, and he

392
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,359
would go back and forth just like
it was. And he got caught on

393
00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:11,640
tape. He got caught on video
saying the last time he switched parties because

394
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,759
I think he actually died in office. He lived to be pretty old,

395
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,759
but he was on video saying,
I'm well, I'm switching parties because I

396
00:30:19,799 --> 00:30:22,559
think it'll help me get re elected. I think it was the last time

397
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:26,359
he switched from Democrat to a Republican. But he had a history of just

398
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,359
going back and forth. You know, no no, uh, no core

399
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:34,359
values or positions. Apparently he just
did whatever was convenient for him to win

400
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:41,720
elections, you know, yep.
Now it's all it's all rigged against any

401
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:45,119
you know, any minor party.
Oh yeah, of course, you know,

402
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,359
because you have to Green Party has
to go through an endless hoops just

403
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,279
to get on the ballot. Libertarian
Party has to go through endless hoops just

404
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,480
to get on the ballot. But
the Republicans and Democrats automatically get on the

405
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,519
ballot. Right there. That just
doesn't that just Greens at all? For

406
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,519
any third party. It's the Soviet
Union, you know, they still had

407
00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:07,359
change with just one party, right
and the change came to some extent from

408
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:15,559
inside the party. But it can
be done. M hm yes, uh,

409
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,920
but but but difficult. Um.
Oh, by the way, Dave,

410
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:21,920
I kept meaning to ask you this
and we kind of went in a

411
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,160
different direction. But can you tell
can you tell our listeners why it's called

412
00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:30,200
pork Fest, because I just don't
want anyone to go there thinking that they're

413
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:34,480
going to get uh, bacon and
sausage and not realize what the meaning of

414
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:40,440
porkfest actually is, or that they're
going to steal out of police. But

415
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:47,680
porky pork chance or porkypines or porkypines
or people who believe in being left alone.

416
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,559
But they're not going to start a
fight with you, right right,

417
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:56,519
But if you give them a hard
time, they've got the quills, correct,

418
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,319
the porcupine quills. Yeah, but
it's you know, a lot of

419
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:06,160
speeches, a lot of a lot
of vendors, a lot of drugs,

420
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,559
no police, basically police. If
police tried to enter the park, it's

421
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:15,359
considered scandalous and a big deal and
everybody's running around with cameras freaking out.

422
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,200
The police are not considered welcome on
the campground site. That during the thing.

423
00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:24,880
So that's one very big difference between
us and the burning Man. That

424
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:29,519
has happened, though, hasn't it
in the past, hasn't that they have

425
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,079
gone in. In fact, they
went in right in front of me.

426
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,119
In twenty twenty one when I was
there, there was a guy who lived

427
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,960
on lived in the park. It
was not connected to the festival, and

428
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:42,839
he had a heart attack right across
the street from me. Oh my god,

429
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,640
I was renting on or something.
A funny was having a heart attack,

430
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,319
and so im EMS services did come
into the park, and I believe

431
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,200
there was a policeman present, but
it was not. It wasn't a huge

432
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:59,480
deal. It just everyone kind of
went on alert when that happened. Yeah,

433
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,200
yeah, Oh wow, jeez,
that's terrible. I guess it was

434
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,279
too much freedom for him. Um
yeah, all right, Dave, Well

435
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,400
anything else on your mind? That
is all Porkfest dot com come out.

436
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:15,960
You're invited. All right, very
good, Dave, thank you for the

437
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:21,559
call for the call. All right, bye bye. All right. That

438
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,240
was our friend Dave Ridley from the
Ridley Report and NHXIT and talking about Porkfest

439
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:30,200
and uh, yeah, I don't
I've never gone to any sort of camping.

440
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,480
I don't. I don't go into
the woods. Um. To be

441
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:37,759
honest with you, I just assume
not go outside. I look forward to

442
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:40,279
the day when the technology exists where
I can just teleport from one place to

443
00:33:40,359 --> 00:33:44,160
the next and not even uh you
know, I mean if I need some

444
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,160
fresh air whatnot, I open a
window. I mean who you know who

445
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:51,200
needs it? But that's me?
But there you go. Pork Porkfest this

446
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:52,839
weekend. Wait did he say this
weekend? Oh? No, he said

447
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,640
the eighteenth. She's already forgot what
he said for dates. You know what?

448
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,720
He confused me because you was talking
about pork Fast and then fork Fast,

449
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,119
which is I guess the anarchist thing. I don't know. Again,

450
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,720
how does that work? How do
you even organize that? I went back

451
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:09,440
for the same joke. I apologize. All right, we have another call.

452
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,400
See we got on the line.
Hi, welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed.

453
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:20,119
Is this Hi? It's John Hopwood, John Hopwood? How are you,

454
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,320
sir? I feel like I haven't
heard from you in weeks. I'm

455
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:30,159
having problems in my back, problems
with what my back? Oh you're back.

456
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:36,519
Well, I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you've heard about

457
00:34:36,599 --> 00:34:38,039
it for the first time. No, no, no, it just it

458
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:42,559
sounded like you said something different.
It's not the greatest phone connection, but

459
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:45,039
it's not bad. I can hear
you. Okay, oh okay, does

460
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:50,679
this help Anny, that's a little
better? Yes, yeah, I guess

461
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:57,760
that. I am wanted to comment
that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I

462
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,159
said he's going to walk fast,
and I am very disgusted by that.

463
00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:08,760
Now why and I really don't know
what RFKA Junior is up to. Interesting,

464
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,199
By the way, we should remind
listeners you went and covered RFKA Junior

465
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,960
when he spoke at the Center for
Politics. That's say an Anselm. Correct.

466
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:23,679
Yes, I'm moving around to try
to get a better connection. We

467
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,719
can, we can be a lot
of conversation because they see we're having a

468
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,199
bad connection. I can hear you. Yeah. I was enthusiastic about him.

469
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:39,119
But you know, I even put
my name in for the RFKA Junior

470
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:44,960
presidential campaign. But here the guy
shows up on Friday in New Hampshire.

471
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,960
He doesn't send him and his people
don't send out any word he's coming.

472
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,760
Really, he doesn't mention on either
one of his Twitter feeds, including his

473
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:59,400
major feeds that I have posted stuff
on. He doesn't even mention that he's

474
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,719
given a speed each before the New
Hampshire primary. Yeah, you know,

475
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,559
his his performance. The word came
out. He's the performance. You know,

476
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:13,360
it's saying, hey, all the
defense of the uh New Hampshire primary.

477
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:20,280
And then he's been invited to talk
to the New Hampshire Senate because they

478
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,239
had of the Senate said I'd be
Jeff Bradley. I think it's a good

479
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:30,840
guy Republican, one of the old
time Republicans. Yeah and gone, where

480
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:37,760
did they go? Right? When
you're yearning for the Yeah, no,

481
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:43,880
kid, I'm with you. Uh. Allows everybody that's gonna run for president

482
00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:46,400
serious candidate's a nott like the ones
that look will show up at your place

483
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:52,360
with boots on their head and the
like can speak to the New Hampshire Senate.

484
00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:57,079
And the only way I found out
about that is to lu Dallas Sandro.

485
00:36:57,559 --> 00:37:00,159
Now I'm a credited journalist, except
you know, the Trump people finally

486
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:05,719
ticking me out in the long rule
of credit. May this is a way

487
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,159
to run in New Hampshire primary campaign. The whole idea of the New Hampshire

488
00:37:09,159 --> 00:37:15,159
primary is like a Bernie Sanders.
He launched his campaign at Elizabeth Robtow.

489
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:22,480
Yes, he had people here.
It's just what is Bobby Kennedy up to?

490
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,920
Bobby Kennedy Junior up to? And
he's going to go talk to these

491
00:37:27,039 --> 00:37:32,840
anarcho libertarians who to the core of
MAGA people. You know, well,

492
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:38,519
I don't know you're you're you're painting
your painting with a very broadbrush there.

493
00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:44,400
But I was disappointed, uh that
when it did turn out that, yes,

494
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,920
a lot of them are our Trump
supporters. And because I don't know

495
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:51,199
what the hell is so libertarian about
Trump, but he has such a he's

496
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:55,079
able to cast such a spell on
people that it doesn't matter. Oh don't

497
00:37:55,119 --> 00:38:00,400
you think that most of the Free
Staters uh went hold for Trump? Well,

498
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:05,159
I some of them did, uh
not all of them. Some definitely

499
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,320
did not. Dave Ridley certainly did
not. He's no fan of Trump.

500
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:12,599
But oh yeah, yeah, yeah
no, but some of them did it

501
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,840
it because uh, you know,
it's it's Trump. People just get mesmerized

502
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:21,800
by him. I mean, you
know, the guy managed to convince an

503
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,639
entire political party that, uh that
John McCain was a war criminal. I

504
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,679
mean, just with a few comments, you know, I mean, you

505
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,320
know, so, I don't believe
so, but uh, I was thinking

506
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,760
about that the other day. But
oh you know what, Oh you know,

507
00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:43,559
no, I visit the studio.
I'm not I'm not saying that.

508
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,679
Just to clarify, I'm not saying
that he is. I would never know.

509
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,840
The reason I was thinking about it
is it came up in one of

510
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,960
the best of episodes that ran on
a Saturday morning, the bit that we

511
00:38:52,079 --> 00:38:59,320
used to do with the ghost of
John McCain. But uh yeah, yeah,

512
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:04,559
and us ever since somebody tried to
find what was that guy, uh,

513
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:12,480
the presidential candidate that tried to deliver
papers on that was that was Stephen

514
00:39:12,519 --> 00:39:15,199
Conny Senior. He had, uh, he had, he had his own

515
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,639
secret documents that he uh he gave. He gave one envelope to me and

516
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,920
one to Peter White, and Peter
filed his away in a place that no

517
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,280
one would ever think to look for
them. And I sleep with mine under

518
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:32,840
my pillow. Okay, I thought
that he had thought he had given something

519
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:37,159
to the ghost of John McCain.
I don't believe so, maybe some adjita,

520
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:44,039
but uh, yeah, I'm not
aware. You know, I just

521
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:47,760
wanted to want to say that I
don't know what Kennedy's up till you know,

522
00:39:50,159 --> 00:39:59,639
well, he's no threat to Biden, right you think tears the ways

523
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:06,280
and and Joe Biden wants something to
do with the New Hampshire primary. Well

524
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,760
that's exactually running New Hampshire primary campaign
like somebody like Bernie Sanders did or Eugene

525
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,519
McCarty back in nineteen sixty eight.
You can really make a difference, which

526
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:20,559
is one of the reasons that Biden
didn't wanted New Hampshire Primary. So basically,

527
00:40:20,679 --> 00:40:24,440
though, you know, Bobby Kennedy
juniors here talking about the significance of

528
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:30,519
the New Hampshire Primary. But he's
just blowing smoke up of people's posteriors,

529
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:35,039
including the ghost of John McCain.
Right, well, I don't know if

530
00:40:35,039 --> 00:40:37,800
the ghost of John McCain has a
posteria. I'm not sure how that works

531
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,960
in the afterlife. It seems like
you wouldn't need everything, But well that's

532
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,079
true. You know Big Steve,
who you know, revealed about the satanic

533
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:50,719
bortle of the White House. Yes, yes, which led to a denunciation

534
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,840
of your truly last night when I
was talking to Big Speed, Oh no,

535
00:40:53,119 --> 00:40:58,119
and He says that I was very
unsympathetic to him on your show,

536
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,960
right right, But we did.
We did learn a lot though about the

537
00:41:01,039 --> 00:41:09,559
Satanic portal. We did. But
basically, these aliens that appear before people,

538
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:15,039
We're not talking about your alien grades
or the Nordics or whatever the hell

539
00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:19,920
they are that you know, like
you sorry in a close conject We're talking

540
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,440
about one to visit important people like
Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon

541
00:41:23,559 --> 00:41:30,920
religion, yes, or you know, major tech executives in Silking Valley.

542
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,880
They only appear from the waist up. Oh right, so that's true.

543
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,440
Law. The ghost of John they
k might not have a pus sterrier,

544
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,920
right right. Yes, I do
miss him, Steph and Philbrook in the

545
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,039
chat room says, I miss the
ghost of John McCain. Well, I

546
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:49,880
think we all do. I know
I do. I interviewed him twice and

547
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,639
it was always good to hear his
voice again. Yeah, I can't seem

548
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,599
to find I can't seem to find
him. I have looked, and he

549
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:04,079
appears to have vanished, along with
along with uh, interestingly enough, a

550
00:42:04,199 --> 00:42:07,960
virtual John Hopwood and virtual Dave Ridley. They have all vanished and I cannot

551
00:42:08,039 --> 00:42:14,199
locate them, try as I might. Oh, I have a clue about

552
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,599
that, but I'll hope to tell
you in person. Okay, Oh,

553
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,000
yes, there's a vendetta against George
truly at the studio. Oh, I'm

554
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:27,360
not going to say who's behind it
or what dimension is coming from. Oh

555
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,360
you know all those things happening with
the Satanic portal? Yes, over you

556
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:37,599
know your death. Yes, there's
refrigerations. Oh, that totally happened again.

557
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:42,400
By the way, is the thing
with something coming out of the event

558
00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:45,840
and with a number on it?
For real? And I haven't here I

559
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,039
can even show the the people who
are watching online on Facebook. Let me

560
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:54,440
grab it. What's the what's the
number? This time? This time the

561
00:42:54,559 --> 00:43:00,679
number sixteen fell out of the ceiling. This happened on front And this happened

562
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:05,559
for real. This happened on Friday. It was after my show and before

563
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,239
Paul's show. This came out of
the vent and the ceiling. The first

564
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,519
time it happened, it was a
thirteen. This time it was a sixteen.

565
00:43:10,599 --> 00:43:13,920
The number sixteen. It came out
of one of the events in the

566
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,280
ceiling here and what do you think
that means? John Hopwood? The number

567
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,920
sixteen Oh, I've wonders what happened
to all those fifty dollars bills that got

568
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,840
stashed somewhere in the building. But
you know, we're not supped to talk

569
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,639
about. Oh no, I don't
even know if those fifty dollars bills were

570
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:37,320
real. Mm now, why don't
you colorblind? So you know they could

571
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:43,199
have been shot? Trewe shot trews. It's not green, right or is

572
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,320
it? I don't know. I
think we'd need an interior designer to tell

573
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:52,320
us that. Now, have you
submitted your resume to the RFK campaign?

574
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,119
Maybe you could help them out so
they could get organized. It sounds like

575
00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:59,679
they need some organizing. Well,
my old friend Tom Astigale, who's in

576
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:05,840
our K junior enthusiasts as I live
up until, reasonly mentioned something like I

577
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,119
said. I told him. Campaigns
don't function like that. They don't use

578
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:16,880
locals, they use professionals. They
use professionals and their media base. They

579
00:44:17,039 --> 00:44:24,599
really don't you advertising during the primary
season. The Boston market, which covers

580
00:44:24,679 --> 00:44:30,239
Manchester, is the fourth largest advertising
market in the entire United States. Although

581
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,679
Boston is not the fourth largest market, but it's because of the amount of

582
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:42,079
political spending Unlike a Bernie Sanders who
rant a two successful campaigns in New Hampshire

583
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:49,199
grassroots campaign people. They don't focus
on that, which is a big mistake,

584
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,360
and they bring in people that aren't
from New Hampshire, that don't know

585
00:44:52,519 --> 00:44:58,119
New Hampshire where it's like Bill Clinton
used the late Bill Cashion, who has

586
00:44:58,159 --> 00:45:04,400
a huge portrait over it City Hall
as his man on the ground, you

587
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,280
know, and re lived his advice
where Hillary Clinton brought did not do that

588
00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:15,199
in twenty sixteen, so all outsiders, professionals, people that didn't even really

589
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:21,719
know New Hampshire. Yeah, unlike
the successful campaign in nineteen ninety two where

590
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,519
Bill Clinton came in a strong second, which in the New Hampshire primary strong

591
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:31,719
second often is considered the win nineteen
seventy two George McGovern and nineteen ninety two

592
00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:37,800
with Bill Clinton, and in nineteen
sixty eight Eugene McCarthy came within a few

593
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:43,039
points of beating a sitting president.
You know. Well also in ninety two

594
00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:46,679
Paul Songas because being from our border
state of Massachusetts, you know, he

595
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,199
was considered a favorite son, so
he was expected to win. I voted

596
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,320
for him, but he wasn't.
But Clinton did so well as Bill Cashing

597
00:45:55,400 --> 00:46:00,119
told me when the Jennifer Flowers thing
hit, it was like a campaign went

598
00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:07,840
to disarray. The people from outside
the state and not it's Cashing, but

599
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,760
people around them, people are still
in politics. Told me about Cashing was

600
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,679
about five foot four or five foot
five, Bill Clinton six foot three,

601
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:24,960
and he's pointing his finger at Bill
Collar. Nashua Manchutter conquered, you concentrate

602
00:46:25,079 --> 00:46:28,960
on that, that's where the votes
are. And he did, and he

603
00:46:29,159 --> 00:46:32,679
kept pulled, you know, he
pulled it out a close second place finish,

604
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:37,400
and then they said to come back
kids. I'm the come back kids,

605
00:46:37,519 --> 00:46:43,000
because they thought he was through up
right right a big thing. Yes,

606
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,880
you know, but I'm just saying
that Bobby Kennedy Junior going to pork

607
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:54,920
that's you know, these are people
that don't like vaccines, mask mandates,

608
00:46:55,039 --> 00:47:01,239
vaccines whatever. I figured that night. They're like that. And he's already

609
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:06,199
talking to the preaching, right,
I mean, you're you're already talking to

610
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,280
the preachers. You're already preaching to
the crowd. His thing is to convince

611
00:47:10,559 --> 00:47:16,400
mainstream Democrats and independence that he's not
all just an anti vaxxer, you know,

612
00:47:17,039 --> 00:47:22,800
and to take his critique of the
institutional capture by dig Pharma and other

613
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:30,159
corporations in other industries. But no, you know, it's always amazing to

614
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:36,679
see people f word up right politics. But you know, Matt, there's

615
00:47:36,679 --> 00:47:39,079
a great thing and I'm gonna leave
your audience in this. There's a great

616
00:47:39,199 --> 00:47:47,559
thing in America. And it is
mentioned in Kurt Vonnegut's Grateful Slaughter Huts five

617
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:57,360
that in America at the time of
the World War Two, you could go

618
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:05,840
into one of these restaurant onto bars, and they'd be a sticker that's said,

619
00:48:06,159 --> 00:48:09,800
if you're so smart, why ain't
you rich? Yeah? Yeah,

620
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,880
so I'm so smart. Why ain't
a rich? Yeah? Why ain't you?

621
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:20,719
I don't know. Bridgard away from
me, take care, Matt.

622
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,719
All right, John, all right, thank you for the call. All

623

Hopwood on the line. We're gonna take

Okay. I didn't see him pulling in

652
00:50:15,159 --> 00:50:20,119
hungry. He must be hungry.
I think they had a load later loading

653
00:50:20,159 --> 00:50:23,159
time. Yeah, it was okay. And uh and you've also got Edgewise?

654
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:28,079
Is there right Edgewise playing? Or
did they I'm not sure if they

655
00:50:28,119 --> 00:50:30,239
were showing up a not tonight.
I saw I saw them on a flyer,

656
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:37,320
but it was somehow drop off.
Oh maybe there was a change,

657
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,880
okay, because those days did difficult
sometimes. Oh yeah, oh no doubt,

658
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:44,400
yeah, absolutely absolutely, Yeah the
flyer I'm looking at, Yeah,

659
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,480
I see, of course, said
rackinan sepsis Able Blood, Dust Prophet,

660
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,760
and I do see edge. Although
it's funny on the flyer that I'm looking

661
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,920
at, Edgewise is kind of faded
a little bit. It's weird. It's

662
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,800
it's almost like somebody made the flyer
and knew that they might not stay.

663
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:06,400
That's that's funny. And always forward
is uh on is the promoter or the

664
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,320
local promoter? Yeah, yeah,
no, And really I've never worked with

665
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,599

the Queen City experience at Jewel. I

671
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,320

why you're here, yeah, and
you know, you know, you'll know

700
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:22,199
why, or if you just feel
very relaxed, very comfortable and very calm.

701
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,079
I'm always relaxed, I don't know, or if we randomly bark or

702
00:53:27,159 --> 00:53:30,880
something at the middle of the show. Have you heard this guy scream?

703
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,920
You have to be relaxed to scream
like yeah, he's intense. Yeah,

704
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:37,559
yeah, we're gonna now what's uh
Actually, let's get everybody's name. My

705
00:53:37,679 --> 00:53:40,960
name is Taylor. You're a Taylor
So you're the singer obviously with the scream

706
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,920
and you sir, I played bass
okay, and Ryan I'm the drummer,

707
00:53:45,039 --> 00:53:50,360
right Mike guitar okay? And who
vocal? Do we have somebody else?

708
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,360
Or nope, just us four and
um so is touring? I mean what

709
00:53:54,599 --> 00:53:59,159
is Uh, it's a challenge right
right now. It seems like a lot

710
00:53:59,199 --> 00:54:01,679
of bands aren't touring because with inflation, everything's gotten so expensive. It's it's

711
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,119
it's hard. I mean, how
do you guys do it? Or do

712
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:07,719
you just you just go for it? You just gotta do it? Yeah,

713
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:08,880
you just yeah, you kind of
some of some of the shows,

714
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,199
don't. You don't get the guarantee
you want or the turnout you want,

715
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,280
but you still have to push to
the next one, you know. Yeah,

716
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:15,800
and the next one may make up
for what you didn't get done,

717
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:19,519
you know. So yeah, it
works out if you just push. Yeah.

718
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,079
Have you guys been added a long
time? Oh yeah, this is

719
00:54:22,119 --> 00:54:25,480
our eighth eighth tourably Oh no kidding, And we're starting to see a little

720
00:54:25,559 --> 00:54:28,559
light at the tunnel, so we
keep at it, you know. Yeah,

721
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:30,719
yeah, excellent, excellent. If
you've gotten a lot of gotten a

722
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,440
lot of airplay with with the music, we're gonna we're gonna play something at

723
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,159
the end of the segment, by
the way, one of your tracks,

724
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,679
but we'll get to we'll get to
hear that scream. But if you've begetting

725
00:54:39,679 --> 00:54:43,440
a lot of airplay because obviously as
you're touring, you know, you're building

726
00:54:43,519 --> 00:54:47,480
relationships, well like you're doing your
building relationships at radio. I assume fmise.

727
00:54:47,559 --> 00:54:51,000
It's it's a lot harder. We
do a lot of the internet radio

728
00:54:51,199 --> 00:54:52,559
and stuff like that. You know, that's that's a lot easier for the

729
00:54:52,599 --> 00:54:55,719
metal world, explicably true. True, Yeah, a lot of us don't

730
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,840
know. There's not a lot of
tones. Yeah, there's not a lot

731
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,000
of good metal stations these anymore.
You know. Yeah, it is hard.

732
00:55:02,119 --> 00:55:06,920
It is hard. Um, it's
uh so I can see where Yeah,

733
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,360
you'd be more internet internet radio based, Yeah, that makes sense.

734
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,599
Um, how long? How long
have a said? You guys too?

735
00:55:14,639 --> 00:55:16,679
Do you play for? Do you
do like ninety minutes or I mean we

736
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:22,079
can do anything from thirty to an
hour? Are powerful sets about thirty thirty

737
00:55:22,119 --> 00:55:23,719
five and it just kicks them in
the teeth and then we moved to the

738
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:28,039
next one, you know, Yeah, but we probably maybe do about a

739
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:30,719
forty five to night yeah, yeah, yeah, very nice, right,

740
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,599
and then they want encorees and all
that, you know, yeah, yeah,

741
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,199
and then who's the band who you're
who's going around with you? Margat

742
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,920
Rath is doing five days. We
usually get five days. Yeah, we

743
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,880
usually get bands I want to try
to learn how to how touring works and

744
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:45,840
everything, and we try to take
them out with us to show them the

745
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,559
ropes. Oh cool. We do
all we can to help, you know,

746
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,239
nobody helped us, so we try
to help them. Yeah. Yeah.

747
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,360
A lot of local bands that are
trying to become regional bands, right,

748
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,880
so we'll bring them on for a
week when we're getting kind of their

749
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,719
region and then they can kind of
get their foot in the door. Yeah.

750
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,480
Yeah. Um, do you ever
uh you ever bring anybody on tour

751
00:56:05,559 --> 00:56:07,440
with you where they go? You
know, you're trying to show them the

752
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:08,480
ropes and they kind of go wow. I didn't think it would be quite

753
00:56:08,519 --> 00:56:13,719
this challenging because you know, because
you know, obviously some people have a

754
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:15,639
they think it's you know, glitz
and glamour and uh, you know,

755
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:22,920
it's mainly just driving gas stations and
play the glamour is on stage just about

756
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,039
it right, right, exactly exactly? Uh? And what's the what's the

757
00:56:27,079 --> 00:56:29,199
scene? Like? Where in George
are you from? Are you from Atlanta

758
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,920
or Columbus? About? Okay?
Okay, Well it's hot. It's hot.

759
00:56:32,079 --> 00:56:37,239
Yeah, about what's the scene like
there? As far as metal,

760
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:39,800
it seems like it's getting a little
bit better. Yeah, years, but

761
00:56:40,039 --> 00:56:45,119
for a while it was really I
mean really we started touring because you know,

762
00:56:45,199 --> 00:56:47,159
you couldn't you couldn't do a killer
show there. So we were like,

763
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:50,639
well, what does South Carolina got? What is North Carolina got?

764
00:56:50,639 --> 00:56:52,000
And then we just we use it. One day we were like, what's

765
00:56:52,039 --> 00:56:55,840
California guy? Yeah, I mean
last month we were playing Whiskey a Go

766
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,320

the best we can, you know. Good for you, Good for you.

768
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,039
Yeah. Have you done Have you
done any extensive touring with a support

769
00:57:07,119 --> 00:57:10,039
for a big guy? No.
We have a lot of talks right now

770
00:57:10,119 --> 00:57:15,360
though, Like these these tours that
we're doing is like putting us in their

771
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,719
eyes, you know. Yeah.
So there's a lot of big names that

772
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,960
are talking about us now and some
have requested us, and then some some

773
00:57:22,159 --> 00:57:24,440
of them have a buy on you
know, so you gotta if you can

774
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,960
do that or not, you know. Oh yeah, oh I know all

775
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:30,400
about how that works. Yea.
Luckily they're getting to the point where they

776
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,760
just want us, so hopefully we
don't have to deal with all that.

777
00:57:34,039 --> 00:57:37,480

00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:15,079
uh these fellas is, first of
all, um, their stage presence.

787
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,199
You know, the fact that they're
they're not just a band. They you

788
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:23,039
know, they put on a show. You know, they have an entire

789
00:58:23,239 --> 00:58:28,519
entertainment package. It's it's really interactive

791
00:58:35,159 --> 00:58:37,639
we get a lot of stuff for
it online. But they're really interactive

792
00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:40,599
with their fans. They put themselves
out there. I know some of the

793
00:58:42,639 --> 00:58:46,639
greatest artists that I can remember.
Um, that are the nucleus of my

794
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:51,920
ambition. Are the kind of people
that put themselves out there a little bit

795
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,320
more. And they do that.
They don't hide in the green room,

796
00:58:55,639 --> 00:58:59,000
you know. Uh, they come
down, they hang out with their fans.

797
00:58:59,039 --> 00:59:01,960
They're screaming and everybody's face. Yeah. Um, they're meeting people and

798
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,400
they're a pleasure to hang out with. So we watched the other bands too,

799
00:59:06,559 --> 00:59:07,960

800
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:13,559
mean. Support sounds really cool in
a chat for him, a conment,

801
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:19,320
very fun practice. Real support is
physical, yes, and it's in And

802
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:22,639
there's two kinds of work. There's
fun work and then miserable work. And

803
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,920
these guys are doing hard work.
But it's a lot of fun. Yeah.

804
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,880
So, and they're keeping it fun

01:04:40,199 --> 01:04:42,719
And all right, so we have
more show to come, but we're gonna

888
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:44,679
let these guys get out of here, and uh, here it is.

889
01:04:44,719 --> 01:04:47,079
Thank you, you got it.
This is Pawns Dad Reckoning. Check it

890
01:04:47,119 --> 01:05:32,400
out. Thank you. Welcome back
everybody as we cruise into our final segment

891
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:38,559
today of Matt Connerton Unleashed, and
we are live from these studios of w

892
01:05:39,079 --> 01:05:43,599
m n H five point three FM
and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire.

893
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,320
Although it looks like it might become
rainy Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. It's

894
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:51,000
clouding up out there, but there's
this thing that keeps happening lately where it

895
01:05:51,159 --> 01:05:56,000
looks like it's gonna rain, and
for the next several hours it looks like

896
01:05:56,039 --> 01:05:59,880
it's gonna rain, and it never
quite rains. So that might be happening

897
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:03,679
again today. We'll see. We'll
see also on Comcast ninety seven if you're

898
01:06:03,679 --> 01:06:08,039
in Manchester, and hello to all

best thing to do so that we can

909
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,559
hear and enjoy your dulcet tones is
to give us a call at six three

By the way, if you miss it.

911
01:06:55,639 --> 01:07:00,400
We just had William from Sepsis and
the headliner at tonight's event, Jewel

912
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:06,400
Dead Reckoning. They are on tour
the Dead Army Takeover Tour. Sepsis is

913
01:07:06,599 --> 01:07:11,519
on the show with them, of
course, with Dead Reckoning along with Able

914
01:07:11,559 --> 01:07:15,760
Blood and dust Profit who we opened
the show with today and a couple other

915
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,199
bands as well. So that is
all happening tonight and our friend Sam Beecherd

916
01:07:18,239 --> 01:07:24,239
from Always Fourard Events, he is
the local promoter on that and so doors

917
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:28,760
open at six pm and tickets are
fifteen dollars. So it's an early show

918
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,199
because it's a Tuesday, it is
a weeknight. But those guys are I'll

919
01:07:31,239 --> 01:07:34,559
tell you what, and if they
I would have liked to have gotten into

920
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:39,639
into a deeper discussion with the guys
from Dead Reckoning on this subject if we

921
01:07:39,719 --> 01:07:42,639
had time, but while we have
time here, but they don't because they've

922
01:07:42,679 --> 01:07:45,000
got to get back for sound check
because it is an early show, so

923
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:47,800
they didn't. They didn't have a
lot of time. So I'm really happy

924
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,760
that they were able to get over
here and do this, do this interview,

925
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:55,599
but I would have been interested in
discussing with them further the rigors of

926
01:07:55,719 --> 01:07:59,760
touring and what it's like now,
because the nature of touring has changed,

927
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,480
and it really, you know,
when the pandemic hit, tours everywhere pretty

928
01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:10,000
much ground to a halt because everybody
was getting sick and places where you know,

929
01:08:10,039 --> 01:08:15,319
everybody was shutting down and a lot
of a lot of musicians found other

930
01:08:15,399 --> 01:08:18,359
ways to get their music out there. And it was really kind of a

931
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:24,399
almost a renaissance in a way that
might be too too strong a term to

932
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:29,319
use, but but there was a
change in terms of how musicians began to

933
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,560
disseminate their live music to fans using
uh, you know, using social media

934
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:40,159
and doing videos. And you saw
a lot of artists doing uh these live

935
01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:44,760
performances online where they're all in different
locations, they're all at home, but

936
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,640
they're all on a zoom call together
effectively, and they're all playing their instruments

937
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:56,279
live together and UH and doing that. So it kind of forced people to

938
01:08:57,399 --> 01:08:59,920
open up to different ways of doing
things, new ways of doing things.

939
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:04,239
UM. And then of course the
pandemic started to wind down, and you

940
01:09:04,279 --> 01:09:09,640
know, I guess it's behind us
for the most part. But although I

941
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,920
don't think we're ever getting rid of
COVID completely unfortunately, I think we're stuck

942
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,720
with it for the rest of our
lives to some degree, but hopefully,

943
01:09:16,239 --> 01:09:20,920
you know, a manageable degree.
But anyway, UM, now though,

944
01:09:21,359 --> 01:09:28,439
uh what started to happen is so
artists started touring again, but because of

945
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:33,079
inflation. Inflation is you know,
so out of control that it just has

946
01:09:33,159 --> 01:09:39,720
become costs prohibitive, not only for
you know, younger bands who are who

947
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,399
are building a following and trying to
get out on the road when they can't,

948
01:09:44,119 --> 01:09:46,800
um, you know, or up
and coming developing bands Dead Reckoning.

949
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:48,680
I mean, they've been at it
for twelve years and it looks like,

950
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:53,119
you know, they're on a real
positive, like I said, a positive

951
01:09:53,159 --> 01:09:57,000
trajectory. But but it's tough.
You know, they're they're hitting the road

952
01:09:57,119 --> 01:10:00,199
hard and uh, you know what
what did they say, one hundred twenty

953
01:10:00,279 --> 01:10:02,800
dates one hundred and thirty dates on
this tour. I mean that's impressive.

954
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:10,359
Um, but even even uh really
well established bands that that that play the

955
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:15,279
big hauls and you know, um, a lot of them have really had

956
01:10:15,319 --> 01:10:19,479
to scale back just what they do
because it's it's become not profitable, it's

957
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:27,199
become cost prohibitive. And what is
really unfortunate about that is um a lot

958
01:10:27,239 --> 01:10:30,520
of musicians will tell you that's where
they make the money. It's interesting how

959
01:10:31,359 --> 01:10:38,239
back when the Internet, when music
effectively became free more or less on the

960
01:10:38,319 --> 01:10:42,760
internet. When back when Napster remember
Napster, when that first became a thing,

961
01:10:43,279 --> 01:10:46,600
you know, and then companies like
Spotify I figured out how to kind

962
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:51,359
of harness what was going on and
saying, well, you know, you

963
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:55,000
know you might have to pay for
it, but here's how you can pay

964
01:10:55,039 --> 01:10:58,279
for it, but you know it'll
be available to you so you don't have

965
01:10:58,359 --> 01:11:04,399
to to download it illegally, so
to speak. But anyway, when that

966
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:09,880
happened a lot of people in the
music industry lamented that, well, so

967
01:11:10,079 --> 01:11:15,159
physical CDs aren't selling anymore like they
used to. And artists used to get

968
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:16,760
a certain amount. You know,
it might be as little as you know,

969
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:21,000
a nickel per CD, right,
a very small amount actually per unit.

970
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,119
Yeah, you know, you might
get a quarter, you might get

971
01:11:25,159 --> 01:11:29,479
a dollar, you know, depending
on what's in your contract. But artists

972
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,319
would actually not make that much money
on CD sales to begin with, and

973
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,720
before that on sales of vinyl.
It was never a lot of money.

974
01:11:39,199 --> 01:11:44,279
Now it's even less. Right people
bemoan the checks they get from Spotify or

975
01:11:44,359 --> 01:11:48,119
from other streaming services, iTunes and
whatnot, and how little money it is

976
01:11:48,199 --> 01:11:51,760
and how small those royalty rates are. But the truth is the money was

977
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:57,640
never in that anyway. The money
had always been in touring. There are

978
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:02,039
artists who would would have a platinum
sell album a million copies, you know,

979
01:12:02,159 --> 01:12:05,600
back in the day, and and
but but be broke. You know,

980
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:11,000
there's something called in the music industry, there's something called recoupment, which

981
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:15,800
is where so the record label advances
you. I mean, this is the

982
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,800
old model. But the record label
advances you. Say you're a big band

983
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:25,079
and you get a million dollar advance. That isn't the record label paying you

984
01:12:25,399 --> 01:12:31,399
a million dollars to make an album
for them. In other words, they're

985
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:34,079
not paying you a million dollars and
then they're going to pay for you to

986
01:12:34,119 --> 01:12:39,039
go make an album for them and
that that But that million dollars is like

987
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,520
income for you. That's not what
it is. When you hear about somebody

988
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,560
getting a million dollar advance, or
when you used to back in the day,

989
01:12:46,239 --> 01:12:50,760
that million dollars is an advance that
goes to the making of the album.

990
01:12:51,319 --> 01:12:56,079
They're advancing you that money, and
you're going to go make that album,

991
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:03,760
and you might only spend half a
million making that album. But and

992
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:09,439
the less money you spend on that
making that album, the better, because

993
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:13,560
if you spend more than a million
making that album, well now you're in

994
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,960
the red. But the truth is
the record label is going to recoup that

995
01:13:17,079 --> 01:13:21,720
money from you regardless. So before
you even see a penny of royalty money,

996
01:13:23,039 --> 01:13:27,640
say you know, they give you
the million dollar advance, you use

997
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:33,239
that money to go make the album. You then have to pay back that

998
01:13:33,359 --> 01:13:39,239
money. And the way you pay
back that money is whatever royalties you make

999
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:43,039
on that album once it's released.
Let's say it's released and it sells a

1000
01:13:43,079 --> 01:13:45,239
million copies, you got a big
hit. Right again, that doesn't happen

1001
01:13:45,279 --> 01:13:48,800
anymore now, it'd be you know, because now we measure things the way

1002
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,800
the industry has changed. Now we
measure things and downloads instead of units.

1003
01:13:53,239 --> 01:13:57,520
But again, using the old school
model, you sell a million copies,

1004
01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:00,560
you got a platinum selling album.
Great, but you're not seeing any of

1005
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:06,680
that royalty money until the record label
is paid back the money, all the

1006
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:14,079
money that they advanced you. And
if you don't make enough to cover that,

1007
01:14:15,159 --> 01:14:17,119
if the album doesn't make enough to
cover that doesn't matter that you sold

1008
01:14:17,159 --> 01:14:21,720
a million copies and now you're a
platinum selling artist. You're not suddenly rich.

1009
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:26,680
If anything, you know, you
might be broke because if that money

1010
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:30,239
is not enough to pay back the
advance, then well that's gonna come out

1011
01:14:30,279 --> 01:14:34,039
of you know, the next album. I mean, they're gonna have to

1012
01:14:34,159 --> 01:14:40,000
advance you more money to make the
next album. But the point is that's

1013
01:14:40,079 --> 01:14:42,800
never been where the money is.
The money has always been in touring.

1014
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,119
Touring is where you make the money. But even with touring, it's not

1015
01:14:47,239 --> 01:14:51,560
so much. You make the money
on ticket sales sometimes you might break even

1016
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:57,920
on that, but you make the
money on selling merch selling t shirts at

1017
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,359
the show and hoodies and post ss
and CDs of course, because people still

1018
01:15:02,399 --> 01:15:09,159
do buy physical physical media. But
the money has always been in the touring.

1019
01:15:09,359 --> 01:15:13,760
It's not in the making of the
albums or today the MP three's for

1020
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,560
the downloads. But the problem now
is that the music industry is facing well

1021
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,399
now. The money is not in
the touring either, unless you're you know,

1022
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:25,399
hey, if your Taylor Swift and
her tour, her Heiress tour seems

1023
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:30,960
to be a lot in the news
recently. Um but uh, but unless

1024
01:15:30,079 --> 01:15:33,039
you're you're one of the big big
names, you're not even making a lot

1025
01:15:33,079 --> 01:15:38,079
of money touring now. And that's
that seems to be largely due to inflation.

1026
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:45,399
There are other factors too, um
As because of the Internet. Now,

1027
01:15:46,159 --> 01:15:51,600
when you go on tour, you're
not only competing with other tours that

1028
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:56,399
are also on tour at the same
time. You're you're you're always competing against

1029
01:15:56,439 --> 01:16:00,439
whatever else is happening in the marketplace. You know, you're competing for those

1030
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:05,760
entertainment dollars that consumers are going to
spend in the marketplace. But you're also

1031
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:12,319
now you're competing with staying home because
stay at home is a lot more fun

1032
01:16:12,359 --> 01:16:15,960
than it used to be. You
know, there was a time when stay

1033
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,760
at home might mean watching television or
watching a movie, or reading a book,

1034
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:25,359
or just hanging out at home and
listening to music or whatever. Today,

1035
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:30,000
staying home might mean watching something on
a streaming service or listening to a

1036
01:16:30,079 --> 01:16:34,479
podcast or whatever. You've got so
many more you know, hanging out,

1037
01:16:35,039 --> 01:16:40,279
hanging out on Twitch and its streaming, while you're playing games with people,

1038
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:45,800
video games. You've got so many
more options now than ever before. As

1039
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:50,520
far as what you can do at
home and the pandemic, I think another

1040
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:54,880
effect of the pandemic, and this
part people don't really talk about much,

1041
01:16:55,239 --> 01:17:00,359
but I think the pandemic, because
people had to stay home for a bit,

1042
01:17:01,199 --> 01:17:08,880
it kind of really acclimated people more
than ever to get used to the

1043
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,239
idea of just being home and just
finding things to do at home and not

1044
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:17,399
necessarily going out. So now we're
in a post pandemic phase where people have

1045
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:26,319
been somewhat retrained that staying home isn't
so bad. You would think that people

1046
01:17:26,359 --> 01:17:30,000
would have a lot of pent up
energy and would want to go out more

1047
01:17:30,119 --> 01:17:34,840
than ever because they had been stuck
at home for a while. But going

1048
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:42,840
out because of inflation, which again
is partially caused by the pandemic, supply

1049
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:48,199
chain issues, there's several factors.
That is one of them. It's become

1050
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:54,520
cost prohibitive to go out very much, right, So it's cost prohibitive to

1051
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:58,479
tour, it's cost prohibitive to go
to shows and go see these different tours.

1052
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:08,640
So so the business is changing again. On the optimistic side, I

1053
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,920
would say this, I think that
the current state of things is temporary.

1054
01:18:13,359 --> 01:18:19,560
Inflation has to subside eventually, right, And I do think that. I

1055
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:28,640
think the explosion of people going to
see live music, or at least getting

1056
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,920
back to a level that it was
pre pandemic, I think that will still

1057
01:18:32,119 --> 01:18:36,920
happen, but it's taking longer to
get there than people thought because people thought

1058
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:41,239
it would be an immediate thing.
If you take inflation out of the equation.

1059
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:45,439
I believe it would have been I
believe as soon as we really started

1060
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,119
to come well, I mean,
and I shouldn't say immediate, because coming

1061
01:18:47,159 --> 01:18:55,279
out of the pandemic was a gradual
process, and people largely couldn't agree in

1062
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:59,239
terms of when the pandemic was actually
over. And I kind of at one

1063
01:18:59,279 --> 01:19:02,159
point to sort of shrugged and said, well, I guess the pandemic's over

1064
01:19:02,239 --> 01:19:06,319
when the emergency orders end. And
then when the emergency orders end ended,

1065
01:19:08,359 --> 01:19:12,720
you know, the federal government said
okay, well this is ending. Then

1066
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,880
I said, okay, I guess
that's officially it. Because people couldn't couldn't

1067
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:24,520
really agree. I do think that
I do think it's all going in a

1068
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:30,199
positive direction. We just had a
band in here talking about how they're just

1069
01:19:30,319 --> 01:19:32,359
out there. They're doing it.
You know, I'm sure they're not making

1070
01:19:32,399 --> 01:19:36,239
a lot of money. I'm sure
that band Dead Reckoning. They're not getting

1071
01:19:36,319 --> 01:19:41,520
rich out there, that's for sure, I promise you that. But they're

1072
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:45,600
doing it. They're making it happen, and it sounds like it's paying off

1073
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,319
for them and they're they're gaining more
and more attention. I mean, hell,

1074
01:19:48,399 --> 01:19:50,720
they got to be on Matt Connerton
Unleashed. I mean, you know,

1075
01:19:53,079 --> 01:19:57,920
no, I'm kidding, well,
not really kidding, but no.

1076
01:19:58,159 --> 01:20:00,319
But in all seriousness, it was
one erful to meet them, and more

1077
01:20:00,399 --> 01:20:04,079
power to them, and I do
think they've got big things ahead, as

1078
01:20:04,159 --> 01:20:09,560
does Sepsis and some of our other
friends as well. So that's my assessment

1079
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,600
of it. But I would have
loved to uh and we'll have them back

1080
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,279
on maybe we can have them skype
in or call in or something from the

1081
01:20:15,399 --> 01:20:16,800
road. I'd love to talk to
them further, and I'd love to have

1082
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,840
a deeper conversation with them about touring
and what it's like like I said,

1083
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,960
we got into a little a little
bit, but we didn't have a chance

1084
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:29,039
to really dig in deep because you
know, they had to get back for

1085
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,159
sound check, so they've got an
early early ish show. But there you

1086
01:20:33,239 --> 01:20:36,319
go. We will Oh. I
do want to say a load everybody in

1087
01:20:36,319 --> 01:20:40,600
the Facebook live chat too, because
there's a lot of interesting comments in there.

1088
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,760
But let me give the studio line
one more time, or maybe maybe

1089
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,239
two more times. We'll see six
zo three two five O six Z seven

1090
01:20:46,279 --> 01:20:49,520
six three two five H six o
seven if you would like to chime in

1091
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:54,600
with anything. But let's look at
the Facebook live chat one more time as

1092
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,479
well, or maybe a couple more
times. We'll see. We'll see how

1093
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,880
much time we have. It's already
twenty of our already almost out of show.

1094
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,439
It goes so quickly. Mike from
Queen City Cabinetry in the Facebook live

1095
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:08,159
chat and says good afternoon everyone.
Mike, of course one of our Queen

1096
01:21:08,199 --> 01:21:11,600
City Cabinetry, one of our great
sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three.

1097
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:15,279
But Mike also one of our co
hosts on Retrospectrum Radio with Paul c

1098
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:19,319
every Friday night. Archer Flight we
mentioned is in the Facebook live chat.

1099
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:25,880
Miriam Banish of course is in there. Let's see Melanie law Liberty from the

1100
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,880
Great State of Vermont. Jenny of
course is in the chat room and said

1101
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:34,279
shalom peeps. Rona Favero from the
Great State of California joins us. Eric

1102
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:40,000
Nana Rone. I still know if
I'm saying that correctly, but he did

1103
01:21:40,079 --> 01:21:45,800
share in the chat room he's got
a podcast called the Nano Second Podcast,

1104
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,239
and he shared a Lincoln there to
his rumble channel. If you want to

1105
01:21:48,359 --> 01:21:55,279
check that out. Let's see Alex
Whiteley, of course, our friend from

1106
01:21:55,279 --> 01:22:01,239
the UK joining us. William slam
Car joins us in the chat. That

1107
01:22:01,399 --> 01:22:03,239
might be a new name in there. I'm not sure. I think actually

1108
01:22:03,239 --> 01:22:06,439
I think I might have seen William
in there before. But William slam Car

1109
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:10,920
says pollen, I'd say, and
I think that was referring to our conversation

1110
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,960
earlier with Dave Ridley, who sounded
like he Dave Ridley at one point on

1111
01:22:15,119 --> 01:22:23,000
the phone sounded as though just an
entire, big giant ball of pollen had

1112
01:22:23,079 --> 01:22:29,680
just sort of floated into his into
his face. But then he seemed to

1113
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:31,920
believing when I said to him,
Dave are you Are you sick or is

1114
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,000
it allergies? He's like, oh, do I sound funny. It's like,

1115
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:41,039
dude, you don't hear your own
scratchy voice. That's kind of an

1116
01:22:41,039 --> 01:22:46,199
odd moment. But yeah, clearly
his allergies were bothering him. Archer Flight

1117
01:22:46,279 --> 01:22:50,800
says hashtag Matt, we're cool and
sensitive, while archer Flight, I dare

1118
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:56,680
say that's something we have in common. Miriam Banish says, my allergies are

1119
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:00,199
bad, but there was some work
being done along the road next to work

1120
01:23:00,239 --> 01:23:04,159
where I was outside walking for a
little while today. So much dust flying.

1121
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,720
Yeah, it's that time of year
two. There's a lot of road

1122
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:17,520
construction going on. Let's see.
Scott Robinson is in the Facebook live chat.

1123
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:30,319
I'm not sure what that commentment,
so we'll skip that. Jay Fed

1124
01:23:30,399 --> 01:23:32,319
says, oh, my allergies have
been terrible this year. Oh mine too,

1125
01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:35,159
Mine too. When I wake up
in the morning, that's when mine

1126
01:23:35,199 --> 01:23:42,079
are the worst, and it's just
a seizethon some days. William slam Car

1127
01:23:42,199 --> 01:23:46,119
said there will be just a few
crazies at dork Fest. William not a

1128
01:23:46,159 --> 01:23:51,680
fan of pork Fest. It sounds
like Scott Robinson points out again This is

1129
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:57,840
in reference to our conversation with Dave
Ridley. Changing some of Tulsi Gabbard's mind

1130
01:23:58,079 --> 01:24:01,000
is really something to hang your hat
hat on. She's not crazy or anything.

1131
01:24:01,279 --> 01:24:03,720
I think Scott's being a little sarcastic
there. Yeah, well, I

1132
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:10,159
mean I expressed my thoughts about Tulsea
Gabbard. Archer Flight says, we will

1133
01:24:10,199 --> 01:24:15,560
be performing on six twenty five,
twenty three is karaoke at Center City Park,

1134
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:27,119
downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. Wow, who knew. Let's see Alex

1135
01:24:27,199 --> 01:24:30,880
Whiteley pointing out again. This is
in regard to our conversation with Ridley.

1136
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:33,880
We have more than two parties now
in the UK. The main ones are

1137
01:24:34,039 --> 01:24:39,439
Labor Tories, Liberal Democrats and the
Green Party. Yeah, I wish we

1138
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,640
had more than two. I mean, we have more than two parties here

1139
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,680
too, of course, but you
know, like we have the Libertarian Party

1140
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,399
and we have the Green Party and
so forth, but we only have two.

1141
01:24:47,119 --> 01:24:50,399
We have the two major parties that
it's very much a closed circuit.

1142
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:57,479
They kind of keep everybody out.
Archer Flight says, we will never go

1143
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:02,920
to the place for us porkfest.
Oh okay. Scott Robinson says, this

1144
01:25:03,039 --> 01:25:06,399
is referring to our friend John Hopwood, who called in right after Dave Ridley.

1145
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:10,199
Thank God, a voice of reason
after all that nonsense. We just

1146
01:25:10,319 --> 01:25:13,439
sarved. I like Dave Ridley,
I like talking to him. I mean,

1147
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:15,279
obviously we disagree on some things,
although we agree on some things too.

1148
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,800
Archer Flight says, hello hashtag John
hopwould we say to you from us?

1149
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,119
Stephen Philberg says I missed the ghost
of John McCain. Yeah, well,

1150
01:25:30,279 --> 01:25:34,960
I think that bit kind of wore
itself out. But Jenny says,

1151
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:39,399
sixteen is my lucky number. That's
because earlier in the show, I was

1152
01:25:39,399 --> 01:25:42,279
talking about how the number sixteen fell
out of the ceiling the other day,

1153
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:48,560
out of the Satanic portal, I
believe. Chris Rose joins us from the

1154
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:54,760
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Hello, Chris. Archer Flight had some questions for sepsis

1155
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,680
and for dead reckoning, but we
couldn't get to them. Alex Wiley says,

1156
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:04,960
I feel like I've just fallen into
the WWF attitude era. Let's see.

1157
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:12,079
Oh. Melanie says in the chat
room, this isn't our reference to

1158
01:26:12,159 --> 01:26:15,239
our conversation with Dad reckoning. She
said, I don't want to brag,

1159
01:26:15,359 --> 01:26:20,560
but I'm building relationships in radio too. Yes, yes, oh boy,

1160
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,359
let's see. I just want to
make sure we don't miss anybody, miss

1161
01:26:25,359 --> 01:26:32,800
anybody in here. Alex Whiteley says, Oh, this is what I was

1162
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:39,600
just discussing about the touring. Alex
said, there's a great documentary called Artifact,

1163
01:26:40,119 --> 01:26:43,880
which explained the woes of even the
biggest stars in the world versus the

1164
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,840
giant record labels. This was about
thirty seconds to Mars being sued for thirty

1165
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:51,720
million dollars. Oh, yes,
yes, yes, yes, I'd like

1166
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:55,640
to see that. I'd like to
see that documentary. Actually, that sounds

1167
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:59,239
that sounds fascinating and certainly right up
my alley, that's for sure. But

1168
01:26:59,359 --> 01:27:02,640
I believe my that is on the
phone. Hello, hey man, how's

1169
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:06,159
it going. I'm gonna be brief. I just wanted to mention a couple

1170
01:27:06,239 --> 01:27:10,720
of things, Yes, but I
did want to get a great integraw.

1171
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,720
I've only heard some of it.
I'll get the full interview subsequently. But

1172
01:27:15,279 --> 01:27:17,600
um, what is the group,
Matt, if you don't mind my asking

1173
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:21,560
on the air? Sure from Texas. It's so good. They have a

1174
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:27,199
female lead singer and you played one
particular song a lot. I wrote it

1175
01:27:27,279 --> 01:27:30,520
down, but I think I lost
the notebook I put it in. Yes,

1176
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:32,640
yes, yes, I meant to
text you back about that. The

1177
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:38,000
song is called the song is called
Angel, and the band is in Yeah,

1178
01:27:38,159 --> 01:27:41,199
and the band is Infinity Van.
Yes, that is a great track.

1179
01:27:42,199 --> 01:27:45,720
Oh my god, is that a
good track? Matt and Infinity Van.

1180
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:47,880
Yeah, for some reason, know
how it is? You know,

1181
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,720
You're going through all these bands and
I just can't come up with it.

1182
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:56,399
So thank you. What a what
a great presentation. But all these bands,

1183
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,560
I mean the band that you saw
Saturday night with Jen and Brooklyn Mikes

1184
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:05,159
and the crew. What a great
group they are. I mean it's like

1185
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:09,399
right here in New Hampshire. Oh
yeah, you know. And just for

1186
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:12,439
them. I wasn't gonna mention this
with just for the heck of it.

1187
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:16,000
It's it's an innocuous kind of thing. Um, A couple of times a

1188
01:28:16,079 --> 01:28:20,560
year, Matt, I'll go on
I was gonna say Google, I'll go

1189
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:25,760
on Google, but I go on
Facebook just to see, um, the

1190
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:30,880
fifty States and uh, this is
no oblique comment to mister Ribby either,

1191
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:35,600
but but the fifty States and what
ones are getting good reviews and New Hampshire

1192
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:43,399
always comes in number what you know, probably top five, I would assume

1193
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,520
absolutely. They well they're not only
top five. New England states come in

1194
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:50,840
top five typically, but New Hampshire
always comes in number one. So just

1195
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:56,840
something good for people to be aware
of. Um I did one I could

1196
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,640
just call in and mentioned this is
an important day in history. I think

1197
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:06,479
it's a seventy ninth anniversary of the
Normandy Day landing in France. That was

1198
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:14,039
very, very tricky and violent,
of course, tragic in many ways and

1199
01:29:15,399 --> 01:29:17,239
risky is all get out. They
didn't know whether it would work or not.

1200
01:29:18,039 --> 01:29:24,880
And your dad, your dad's your
grandfather. My dad made that Normandy

1201
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:28,279
landing. And I have a good
friend I was in. It's funny how

1202
01:29:28,359 --> 01:29:31,840
things come around, Guys. I
was in Southeast Asia. I'm not gonna

1203
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:36,039
go into all that, but I
learned finally not to volunteer. But that's

1204
01:29:36,039 --> 01:29:45,079
in the story. And there I
am with a friend of the family who

1205
01:29:45,279 --> 01:29:49,800
lived in Massachusetts. I forgave him
for that, but he lost his dad.

1206
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:55,720
He made the Normandy landing in another
company from my father's, but he

1207
01:29:56,199 --> 01:30:00,399
lost his life in combat, like
within forty hours. Isn't that heartbreaking?

1208
01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:05,920
W Y, It's you know,
but a great, a great victory,

1209
01:30:06,079 --> 01:30:12,279
and you know we had to stand
up to evil. So I just want

1210
01:30:12,319 --> 01:30:15,279
to mention just two other things quickly, Matt. So I just wanted to

1211
01:30:15,359 --> 01:30:19,640
honor that day and prayers, whatever
your tradition. I asked for prayers for

1212
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:27,279
the country and the family, you
know, during the landing and subsequently for

1213
01:30:27,279 --> 01:30:30,960
a couple of days. FDR,
who was a great president. I mean,

1214
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,399
he didn't do everything right. No
president does, We're human, but

1215
01:30:34,079 --> 01:30:39,119
he those were the times in the
forties, of course, that was forty

1216
01:30:39,159 --> 01:30:43,560
four when he would go on the
radio and pray with the American people,

1217
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:53,760
and it was considered sensitive and supportive
intrinsically and non denominational essentially though FDR was

1218
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:58,520
a Christian man. So finally,
on a serious note, I'll end with

1219
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:01,359
a positive thing here, but trust
me, I'll be brief, but on

1220
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,760
a on a challenging note, let
me put it that way. Yes,

1221
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:10,079
and I won't go into all the
nuances here. I've talked about this with

1222
01:31:10,239 --> 01:31:15,800
colleagues today. But so I'm a
big sports fan, Matt. I don't

1223
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:19,479
know what happened with you with that, any any ideas on that, I

1224
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:25,600
don't know. It's just uh yeah, I just never the only the only

1225
01:31:25,680 --> 01:31:30,119
sport I've ever really enjoyed isn't a
real sport. But ah, I know,

1226
01:31:30,319 --> 01:31:33,880
I know, yeah, yeah,
well you know, you know when

1227
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,920
I was a kid, Matt Chris, I wrestled in high school. I

1228
01:31:38,119 --> 01:31:41,960
got pretty good at but that was
Greco Roman wrestling. But when I was

1229
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:46,560
a kid, I actually thought that
it was real, completely real, and

1230
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:51,640
I'll never forget. There was this
championship out between Edward cup Pontier. Have

1231
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,119
you ever heard of him? You
probably don't know him, Edward cup Pontier.

1232
01:31:55,279 --> 01:31:58,640
Why don't you You've told me about
him? Did I tell you about

1233
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:02,000
Yes? Well, hey, he
was that guy. He was from France.

1234
01:32:02,039 --> 01:32:05,960
Of course, he was tremendous,
you know, he was athletic,

1235
01:32:06,119 --> 01:32:10,000
he was in shape, he could
do all these things in the ring that

1236
01:32:10,079 --> 01:32:14,439
were just so scientific and quick and
sharp. And so we had our championship

1237
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,600
match with Killer Kowalski, you know, from Boston. I think it was

1238
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:23,800
from Maldon originally, and uh so
I said to my finally said to my

1239
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:27,920
friend John Caferelli, said, there's
no way that Killer Kowalski can beat Edward

1240
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,600
Capontier, and yet he takes him
two out of three falls, you know,

1241
01:32:31,159 --> 01:32:33,960
and say, wait a minute,
So then they had a rematch.

1242
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:38,880
Nothing go on on with this,
but they had a rematch and it ended

1243
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:42,520
in the draw, which of course
meant that Kowalski kept the title. And

1244
01:32:42,600 --> 01:32:46,920
then I think Caponte eventually retired early
his money back, and that's what I

1245
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,640
began to think, Wait a minute, right, right, I just don't

1246
01:32:53,119 --> 01:32:57,279
quite believe this, and had the
claw hole. I was gonna say that

1247
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:00,720
the claw Yeah, as you know, I meant talk. I got to

1248
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:03,039
meet Killer Kowalski once and but yeah, you know, and he had those

1249
01:33:03,079 --> 01:33:08,039
big hands. But yes, the
claw that's a that's a pretty pretty sus

1250
01:33:08,239 --> 01:33:12,399
as the young people say. Oh
yeah, I agree, I mean it

1251
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,239
was funny. Yeah. And then
I you know, I would check into

1252
01:33:15,279 --> 01:33:18,239
it and I realized, no,
this is staged. Yeah. I mean

1253
01:33:18,359 --> 01:33:23,359
some great athletes though, you know, yeah, Argentina Rocca, Oh my

1254
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:29,840
god, some of those guys.
John Cena from Oriria's right, so yeah,

1255
01:33:30,119 --> 01:33:34,199
so quickly. I've been a Dodger
fan since I was a kid,

1256
01:33:34,199 --> 01:33:39,239
and I was always a Red Sox
fan. I've always been loyal to New

1257
01:33:39,319 --> 01:33:44,279
England and sports teams and god,
the Pats really brought that in the Celtics,

1258
01:33:44,319 --> 01:33:46,680
so not this year, although they
came back from three Dome to three

1259
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:51,199
straight back. But anyway, Um, I've been a big Dodger fan,

1260
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:56,279
but I will not be a Dodger
fan anymore. I'm not going to go

1261
01:33:56,359 --> 01:33:59,840
into the whole story. But you
know, we talk. I think the

1262
01:34:00,039 --> 01:34:03,479
first time I actually called your program
that I was concerned about. I had

1263
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:10,039
reflected on this and again talk with
colleagues about it. But the rise and

1264
01:34:10,159 --> 01:34:14,840
anti semitism around the world, and
you could see it and you could feel

1265
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:18,319
it, but also in America,
which is really daunting. I thought we'd

1266
01:34:18,399 --> 01:34:20,479
come a long way. I think
we have come a long way. Don't

1267
01:34:20,479 --> 01:34:27,840
get me wrong against all of that
anti semitism, but there's a big push

1268
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,239
now and I'm not going to name
names, except there's a guy in the

1269
01:34:31,279 --> 01:34:35,479
White House who shows absolutely no leadership
on this, and he should be saying

1270
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:41,399
something about it. There's a movement, an anti Christian in particularly anti Roman

1271
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:45,319
Catholic movement in this country that is
on a par in my judgment, and

1272
01:34:45,359 --> 01:34:50,159
I will say it openly, with
sportively and with kindness. It's become on

1273
01:34:50,319 --> 01:34:54,960
a par now, and I think
for a lot of reasons I won't go

1274
01:34:55,039 --> 01:35:00,640
into with anti semitism in this country
and around the world also, But the

1275
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:05,439
LA Dodgers, I'm not going to
name the hate group, but they were

1276
01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:10,960
going to sponsor a hate group coming
up in at the end of June.

1277
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,520
I think it's June twenty fifth,
in conjunction with another celebration, which is

1278
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:21,880
fine. But the hate group desecrated
the Holy Eucharist. They've done all kinds

1279
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:30,920
of things, you know, all
kinds of anti Catholic demonstrations and reporting and

1280
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:36,840
verbiage that's just bizarre and stupid,
but it's hateful. It's intrinsically hateful and

1281
01:35:38,039 --> 01:35:43,560
undermining of truth and freedom and democracy. And the Dodgers said, you know,

1282
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:48,399
so the bishop protested out there with
LA. Catholics wrote in, Christian

1283
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:54,399
Protestant brothers wrote in, Jewish people
wrote everybody, I think even Islamic people

1284
01:35:54,439 --> 01:36:00,600
wrote in and said this is not
right. This is a form of violence

1285
01:36:00,239 --> 01:36:04,960
and hatred. And the LA Dodgers
looked at it and said, okay,

1286
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:09,159
so they canceled it. With this
hate group. I could name them,

1287
01:36:09,199 --> 01:36:11,479
but I'm not gonna name him.
You can google them. You may know

1288
01:36:11,560 --> 01:36:13,960
them already, and I'm not.
I'm gonna ask you not even to mention

1289
01:36:14,039 --> 01:36:15,720
these dopes. Yeah, I don't
know. I don't know the story,

1290
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:18,239
so I don't know. I'll have
to look at it back toward. Yeah,

1291
01:36:18,479 --> 01:36:21,039
yeah, it'll come right up,
Matt, It'll come right up.

1292
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:27,600
And and I don't this is a
hate group. I don't connect them with

1293
01:36:28,039 --> 01:36:32,960
entertainment and performers who are doing their
own things and not attacking the Catholic Church.

1294
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,760
There's you see what I mean.
You're gonna see that when you google

1295
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:39,800
it. It's a distinction I'm making
there for sure, and I want people

1296
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:44,319
to know that. So this is
not a counterattack. It's it's it's being

1297
01:36:44,319 --> 01:36:50,039
assertive and standing up for liberty and
civil liberties and my right as an individual

1298
01:36:50,199 --> 01:36:57,279
to practice my faith safely and with
compassion and love for all people, even

1299
01:36:57,399 --> 01:37:02,159
those with whom I disagree. Well, putin maybe an exception. So they

1300
01:37:02,239 --> 01:37:09,560
canceled it. Then of course they
got and this happened to Uh, I'm

1301
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:12,039
not going to mention they happened to
a band member you like too. It

1302
01:37:12,199 --> 01:37:14,640
was a very similar thing. I
could mention, but I won't, So

1303
01:37:15,039 --> 01:37:20,399
they revisited it, and now they
brought the hate group back. So it's

1304
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:27,520
like a big finger to those of
us in the Christian community who object.

1305
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:31,600
And it's not only in the Christian
communities. Faith communities in this country have

1306
01:37:34,359 --> 01:37:40,560
placed this objection right at the feet
of the La Dodgers, And at first

1307
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:44,359
they said we're sorry, you know, but then they got some heat from

1308
01:37:44,399 --> 01:37:47,359
the other side with a lot of
hate, and they said, Okay,

1309
01:37:47,359 --> 01:37:50,720
we're gonna bring them back. We're
gonna do this thing. So who knows.

1310
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,239
I mean, you know, we've
got a couple of weeks, Matthew,

1311
01:37:54,359 --> 01:37:58,319
so they may change their mind again. They're getting a lot of pressure,

1312
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:05,560
but we CNN a CNN journalist asked
the secretary, whom I have no

1313
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:13,159
respect for the press Secretary, Um, what what the president might say about

1314
01:38:13,239 --> 01:38:16,960
this as a Catholic? Now is
he really a Catholic? It's another story.

1315
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:21,760
But and she just got in the
middle of that, wouldn't answer that

1316
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:28,720
question, wouldn't say anything about the
president and his leadership responsibilities. Had just

1317
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:34,600
said she she wouldn't get in the
middle of that controversy. So it's it's

1318
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:42,800
really pathetic, it's unreasonable and it's
intrinsically untenable. We don't stand up as

1319
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:47,199
a community against all hate, then
there's something lacking in us, in our

1320
01:38:47,319 --> 01:38:50,880
character. I just wanted to put
that out there for you, all right

1321
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:55,279
and the audience to reflect us.
I'll look that up. Dad. We

1322
01:38:55,359 --> 01:38:58,640
are absolutely out of time that we
got to go. Oh sorry, yeah,

1323
01:38:59,159 --> 01:39:03,000
