She was recently on Bill Maher's podcast Club Random, and I've 29 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:38,560 seen her interview by the Young Turks, and she's been making the rounds. 30 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,719 She's been on quite a few podcasts. But we're really looking forward to having 31 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,479 her here on the radio show tomorrow in the first hour and then in the 32 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,120 second hour we have a musical guest, actually two musical guests, Cody Pope 33 00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:55,000 and Byron g will be coming back in in the second hour tomorrow, So 34 00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,520 that's gonna be a great show.

I'm not sure what the plan is with 37 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,039 them for tomorrow, but hopefully it's more of the same.

That's a lot of fun. Oh. I 56 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,120 see Chris H from the band Edgewise. It joins us in the Facebook live 57 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,720 chat as well. Hello Chris. Oh, PAULC. Just popped it. 58 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:29,800 Oh, all of a sudden, a whole bunch of people just showed up 59 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,040 at once in the chat room. I think the I think Facebook might be 60 00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:35,800 lagging a little bit because I've never seen that many people just show up at 61 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,000 once, But Facebook can be glitchy. Paul C Is in the Facebook live 62 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:46,480 chat and says hello from sunny Purgatory, big fan Purgatory. Well say hello 63 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,959 to don Imus for us. Jay Fed also in the chat room, of 64 00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:51,800 course, from the great state Vermont, and says a good afternoon everyone, 65 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:56,879 Good afternoon, Jay Fed. Chris from Edgewise says happy Monday. Yes, 66 00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:03,000 indeed, let me U. So I have to I have to address something 67 00:05:03,319 --> 00:05:09,800 that's uh in the media, in the news that transpired over the weekend, 68 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,000 and I'm going to end up in the course of doing this, I'm going 69 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:21,560 to end up defending a certain political figure who I'm not really enthusiastic about defending. 70 00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:25,319 Oh, hello to Eric Street who just joined us in the chat as 71 00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,480 well as DJ Steve. Hello. This particular individual, he's a governor of 72 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:34,160 a certain state and he's running for president and uh not someone I like. 73 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:40,879 However, I have this thing so I don't like it when I see things, 74 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:49,120 When I see examples in the media of people's words being just edited and 75 00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,600 taken out of context, it really bothers me. And I don't like it 76 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,519 when when anyone does it, and I don't like it. Obviously, I 77 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:02,040 don't like it when it's done to people that I like or maybe I agree 78 00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:05,839 with. I also I don't like it when it's done to people I don't 79 00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:11,040 like and disagree with. I don't like seeing it done to anybody. And 80 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:14,120 you know, some of it's baked into the cake, into the cake, 81 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,759 as they say. You know, for example, obviously, you know you 82 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,680 expect some some degree of spin. Not that this makes it okay, but 83 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,399 you expect some degree of spin for example, in cable news. Just you 84 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,199 know, obvious examples. If you're you know, if you're watching Fox, 85 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,439 you expect a right word spin on things. If you're watching MSNBC, you 86 00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:39,399 expect a left word spin on things. And again I'm not justifying it. 87 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,040 I'm not saying any of that's okay, but it is what it is. 88 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,240 Oh, hello to Karen Cubitt who joins us in the Facebook live chat very 89 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,720 busy chat room on this Monday. So you know, that's something we kind 90 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:55,199 of live with in big media, corporate media. But I saw something happening 91 00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:00,439 over the weekend and it started specifically at CNN, and then it's kind of 92 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,279 migrated. I do like to be when criticizing media. I like to be 93 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:11,680 kind of specific about what media I'm criticizing because people will often talk about quote 94 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:16,240 unquote the media, and they'll speak about the media in sort of this monolithic 95 00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:21,600 way, and I think it's a bit lazy, frankly, because in the 96 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,920 media, you know, there are many different aspects and factions and layers and 97 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,199 levels of media. It's it's not all just one thing. Clearly. You 98 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,800 know, you've got conservative media, you've got liberal media. You've got you 99 00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:38,800 know, you've got big media, corporate media, and you've also got independent 100 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,040 media, online media and so forth. You know, you've got all all 101 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,480 kinds of media. You've got cable news and you've got political talk radio. 102 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,079 You've got all kinds of media. So I don't like to speak about the 103 00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:55,240 media in a monolithic way. But I saw something transpire on CNN, and 104 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,920 again this then got picked up and kind of migrated outward. I heard it 105 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:07,079 repeated this morning on Morning Joe on MSNBC, and now it's online media has 106 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,839 picked up on it, and it's an example of this goes a bit beyond 107 00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:18,480 spin. It's an example of someone's words being edited in a way that makes 108 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,759 it sound like they said something very different than what they actually were saying. 109 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,519 And again I don't like it. I don't regardless of how I feel about 110 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,519 the person who is having that done to them, and in this case it's 111 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:37,200 somebody I frankly, deeply dislike. But fair is fair. I don't like 112 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:41,279 seeing, regardless of who it is, and having it done to them, 113 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:43,080 and regardless of who it is who's doing it to them, I don't like 114 00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:48,320 to see it, and I like to call it out. But this example 115 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,840 got called out live on the air. So Casey Hunt, She's got her 116 00:08:54,879 --> 00:09:00,919 show on CNN, and played a clip of Governor Ron de sand apparently, 117 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:05,919 i say, apparently, disparaging Trump supporters. And it was a surprise, 118 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,080 right, uh, Desantist calling Trump supporters listless vessels, which is kind of 119 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:18,919 an insulting thing to say, because you know, DeSantis's whole play has been, 120 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,240 you know, try not to be too confrontational or critical of Trump, 121 00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:26,799 because if Trump should happen to a faulter, you know, Desantists can be 122 00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:31,080 the one to kind of swoop in. That's been the play of many who 123 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,960 are running for president, not everybody. Of course, some people are being 124 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,799 aggressive going right at Trump, like Chris Christy, Asa Hutchinson, Will Hurd, 125 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,320 That's about it. The rest of them are kind of like, yeah, 126 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:45,320 you know, maybe we can be veep you know who knows, or 127 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,080 maybe we can run again in twenty twenty eight if we don't upset the MAGA 128 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:54,399 base. So pretty shocking to hear DeSantis say something like that about Trump supporters. 129 00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,320 Except here's what happened. So I'm gonna play I'm gonna play the audio 130 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,840 of this Casey Hunt says, well, we have this. She plays this 131 00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:09,399 edited clip. Ken Cucinelli another person I'm not a big fan of, to 132 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,159 be honest with you, but Ken Cucinelli is there on set with her. 133 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,840 He's on the panel as well as you know, representing Ronda Santis, literally 134 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:22,240 representing him, because he's the one who Cucinelli is the one who founded the 135 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,440 Never Back Down superpack, and Never back Down was in the news at the 136 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:33,559 end of last week because they're the ones who posted online the debate. Prep 137 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,519 notes this very long memo about all the things they wanted Governor de Santis to 138 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,080 do in the debate that got posted publicly for all the world to see. 139 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,639 And there's a reason why that happened. We talked about that last week. 140 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:50,799 But anyway, that's Ken Cuccinelli. He started Never back Down. So Ken 141 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:58,159 Cucinelli actually does a fact check on Casey Hunt in real time, live on 142 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,399 air and says, wait a minute, that edited, and that's not what 143 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:07,840 Governor DeSantis was saying. And again I say, I bring this up because 144 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,639 I when I see something like this, when I see something particularly egregious like 145 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,759 this, you know, again, regardless of how I feel about the people 146 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:18,559 involved, fare is fair. I feel driven to call it out. And 147 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,440 by the way, you should want that too, regardless of how you feel 148 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:30,320 about the people involved, because it's this kind of thing that causes people to 149 00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,440 not trust the media. And again, I don't like to speak about the 150 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:41,720 media and monolithic terms, but this is an example of that just feeds into 151 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,679 that. Right, So I'm gonna play this now, this is from CNN, 152 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,600 and then after this, I'm gonna play the actual the clip of what 153 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:54,480 DeSantis said without the edit, because I found that too. But here's the 154 00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,720 segment from Casey Hunt's show over the weekend. This this was yesterday, but 155 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:07,679 there was a pretty interesting moment in a recent interview where Governor DeSantis talked about 156 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:11,960 Trump supporters. He used the word words listless vessels. I was talking, 157 00:12:13,879 --> 00:12:16,039 hold on, I'm going to play it for everybody, and then you can 158 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:22,159 go ahead. Let's listen. A movement can't be about the personality of one 159 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,240 individual. If all we are is listless vessels, that's just supposed to follow, 160 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,720 you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on truth social every 161 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,159 morning. That that's not going to be a durable movement. Everybody just saw 162 00:12:33,159 --> 00:12:37,559 there that there was a cut. You cut from the beginning of that quote 163 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,320 to the listless vessels. You just did what the problem is so everybody would 164 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,399 just watched that. Understand, go read the transcript, you summarize for us. 165 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,399 What what what? What? Now? That's a boy. That's a 166 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,000 big no no in corporate media. You're not supposed to You're not supposed to 167 00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,960 call that out live on the air. I mean, good for him again 168 00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:03,639 and Ken Cucinelli another guy I'm not a big fan of, but good for 169 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,759 him in that moment for calling that out. You don't ever see that, 170 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,200 you know, you'll you'll see somebody maybe say later, well, you know, 171 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,080 so and so was reporting on this, and I think they took this 172 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,080 out of context and whatnot. To see someone actually call that out in real 173 00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:22,480 time. I give him mad props. As I think the young people say 174 00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:26,440 that right. I give him. I give him great credit for that because 175 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,559 he's right. He's right. I mean, again, this is the same 176 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120 guy who thought it would be a good idea for the super Pack to post 177 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,960 that memo for all the world to see about what he wanted to Santis, 178 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,559 how he wanted de Santis to act in the debate coming up. So you 179 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,159 know, I won't give him too too too much credit, but I'll give 180 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,639 him credit for this. I don't know if it was his decision to post 181 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,279 that, but again, it's it's his Superpack. But let me back that 182 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:52,639 up a little bit to where they come back from the clip, and then 183 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,360 and then I do want to play the unedited version. There was a cut 184 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,759 you cut from the beginning of that quote to the listless vessels. You just 185 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:05,639 did what the problem is, so everybody whould just watched that. Understand, 186 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,879 go read the transcript. You summarize for us what what was it that he 187 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,799 was trying to see? Well, first of all, his first point is 188 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,440 an excellent point. This should be about America, not about individuals, okay, 189 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,679 And how do we get from there to listless vessels? Yes, well, 190 00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:22,720 the rest of an entire paragraph, By the way, I mean, 191 00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:26,360 there's a pretty big gap in your cut. So he's talking about some of 192 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:31,960 the folks in DC who've endorsed Trump. He's talking about the more general environment 193 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,759 and referring to all of us collectively. We can't just sit back and take 194 00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:39,480 all of this be listless vessels. We have to move ahead with a different 195 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:43,360 vision that was not Trump assigned. And so folks go read the transcript. 196 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,600 You don't have to listen to me, you go read it yourself. He's 197 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:58,720 right, He's absolutely right, and I want to play for you. Here 198 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,200 it is. I want to play for you. This is the audio. 199 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,960 This is the full This is without the addit. So this is about a 200 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:11,679 minute long, I think maybe a minute in twenty. It's got. This 201 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:15,799 is the audio of well, it includes what he said in between that was 202 00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:20,559 added out. Now listen carefully. And by the way, again, I'm 203 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:26,360 he's gonna say some things here that I don't like the guy, but he 204 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,000 says some things here I agree with. Okay, this is Governor Ronda Santis 205 00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:37,879 the unedited version of that clip. And there's a commercial plane. I gotta 206 00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:43,200 get past this ad. This is from the Politico website. Apparently they hit 207 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:48,480 you with an ad Ah. I do digital marketing. I can't complain about 208 00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,159 anything. But here we go and our and our party, let me back 209 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,879 that up to the beginning there. Actually I missed the beginning. Here we 210 00:15:56,919 --> 00:16:00,759 go. I think that we have a strand in our in our part that 211 00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:07,159 views supporting Trump as whether you are a rhino or not. And so you 212 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,039 could be the most conservative person since sliced bread, unless you're kissing his rear 213 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,519 end they will somehow call you a rhinos. So it's been totally detached from 214 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,440 principle in what you actually believe and results, and it's more about you know, 215 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,039 just what faction you happen to do. So there'll be people who are 216 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,879 huge Trump supporters, like in Congress, who have like incredibly liberal left wing 217 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,639 records that that's really just atrocious, and yet they're viewed as by some of 218 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,120 these folks as like as like really really good. Then you have other people, 219 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,399 you know, like a Congressman Chip Roy who's endorsed me, Congressman Thomas 220 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:48,519 Massey. These guys have records of principle fighting the swamp that are second to 221 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,879 none, and yet they will be attacked by some of these people and called 222 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,480 rhinos. So it's just been totally detached from any type of substance. And 223 00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:03,320 ultimately, a movement can't be about the personality of one individual. The movement 224 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,920 has got to be about what are you trying to achieve on behalf of the 225 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,160 American people. And that's got to be based in principle, because if you're 226 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,319 not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels, that's just 227 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,720 supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on 228 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,480 truth social every morning. That that's not going to be a durable movement. 229 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:29,720 So Cucinelli was right. There was a lot more there. And when you 230 00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:33,200 hear what he actually said, he was not talking about Trump supporters. He 231 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,759 wasn't talking about the typical I mean, he was talking about Trump supporters in 232 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:41,039 Congress. He was talking about the Republican establishment that largely supports Trump. But 233 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:45,960 he wasn't talking about the voters. But that's how it's being spun. Oh, 234 00:17:45,039 --> 00:17:52,000 DeSantis trash's Trump voters as being listless vessels, which is not what he 235 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,119 said. And again, you know, I'm not I don't take great joy 236 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,559 in defending this guy. I mean, I think he's toxic in terms of 237 00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:02,160 his poles. I think he's I think he puts a lot of hate out 238 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,960 there. I've made no uh secret of how I feel about him and his 239 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,359 messaging and all the anti LGBTQ plus stuff that he puts out there. I 240 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,279 think is really bad. I think it's uh, I think it's toxic. 241 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,759 I think it's I think it's nasty, and I think it takes us backward 242 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,000 as a country. Quite honestly, so I take no great joy in defending 243 00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:27,559 him. But that was pretty blatant. What the media. You see now, 244 00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:32,720 I just did it. The media, what certain elements in the media 245 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,039 have been doing. And then with this moment specifically, and then of course 246 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,119 the Trump campaign, and this is just smart politics. They pounce on it 247 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:47,000 and they say, oh, look look what DeSantis he's he's insulting. He's 248 00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:52,759 he's insulting Mega by by calling everybody listless vessels. Of course, now they're 249 00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:59,599 they're using the the the distorted, the taken out of context version of DeSantis 250 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,079 is commens But again, that's just smart politics. And I want to actually 251 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,839 I want to play I want to play part of this again. I want 252 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,759 to play the beginning of this again because he said something here that you know, 253 00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:21,319 he's he's been reluctant to say. Jay fed says I heard him say 254 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,839 he really dislikes Trump and his followers. Well, there might be some subtext 255 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,640 there. He probably does. He probably I think they all hate Trump, 256 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,880 and to be honest with you, but they have to pretend to like him. 257 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,079 Well, Mike Pence might genuinely like him, you know, even though 258 00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:44,359 he almost got Pence and his family killed on January sixth. I think he's 259 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,400 still I think he still just can't help but can't help but love that guy. 260 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,599 But let me play the beginning of this again. I think that we 261 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,400 have a strand in our in our party that views supporting Trump as whether you 262 00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:03,640 are a rhino or not. And yeah, that's absolutely true. By the 263 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:10,559 way, he hits on something that a lot of Republicans are they don't like 264 00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:15,079 to acknowledge, but he says it, and it's true. It's really become 265 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,000 I mean, pre Trump, it had already sort of become this thing where 266 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:27,039 in the Republican Party, if you if you even so much as disagreed on 267 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:34,039 anything, in other words, say you, you know, maybe you're pretty 268 00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:40,119 conservative consistently overall, but maybe you you know, you're willing to go with 269 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,039 some some additional gun regulation or something like that. Then you're immediately called a 270 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,559 rhino. It's like you step out of line on anything, you're called a 271 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:52,680 rhino. Now the party has transformed as it's become, you know, the 272 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,000 Party of Trump. It's it's a cult of personality. I think he even 273 00:20:56,079 --> 00:21:00,960 used that phrase, revolving around Trump. It's come plealy around Trump. So 274 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,240 now it's become you're either with Trump or you're not. And if you're not 275 00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:07,000 with Trump, you're a rhino, a Republican in name only. And that's 276 00:21:07,039 --> 00:21:11,559 what That's what he points out there, and I think he's absolutely correct, 277 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,799 and he seems a bit baffled by it, and I don't blame him. 278 00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:19,480 So you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread, unless you're kissing 279 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,519 his rear end they will somehow call you a rhino. So it's that's they 280 00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:30,960 say that about Liz Cheney, right, Liz Chaney very conservative, but they 281 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,759 pushed her out of leadership and replaced her with Elise Stefanik, who at the 282 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:41,759 time at least was regarded largely as a more moderate Republican. But Liz Chaney 283 00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:45,480 went against Trump, so they said, you're a rhino. You're out of 284 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:51,799 here. It's been totally detached from principle in what you actually believe in results, 285 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,279 and it's more about, you know, just what faction you happen to 286 00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:59,640 do. So there'll be people who are huge Trump supporters, like in Congress 287 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:04,440 of like incredibly liberal left wing records that that's really just atrocious. Now now 288 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:10,920 he's exaggerating and being very hyperbolic. There's no there's nobody, you know, 289 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,200 I mean he was, I was with him until that part, but now 290 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,839 he's just you know that, come on, there's there's people in Congress who 291 00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:22,039 are Trump supporters who have very liberal, left wing voting records. Obviously not 292 00:22:23,079 --> 00:22:27,440 that's uh, that's ridiculous. See. See now he's actually kind of doing 293 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,880 the thing that I was talking about before. Now he's doing it when he 294 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,759 says that when I talked about how before Trump, you know, now it's 295 00:22:34,799 --> 00:22:37,200 you're either with Trump or or not. And if you're not with Trump, 296 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,880 you're a rhino. Before Trump, it was you're either uh as you know, 297 00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:48,720 a right wing conservative and uh or you know, you might step out 298 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,279 a line on something, could be anything. Well I mean, some issues 299 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:57,640 carry more weight than others and you'll get called a rhino. And and DeSantis 300 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:02,240 is doing that here. He is doing that old school again pre Trump thing 301 00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:04,559 where it was it was about the issues, but it was like, you 302 00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:10,839 know, well some of these Republicans have these uh left wing liberal voting records. 303 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,440 No, but you know there might be a few that you know, 304 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:22,200 they're okay with marriage equality or you know, or or maybe uh maybe enhanced 305 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,799 background checks on guns or whatever it is. You know, they don't don't 306 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,839 tow the conservative line. And then you know, you react to that like, 307 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,440 oh, look, look how left wing they are. I mean, 308 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,839 I've seen that happen over and over again. But uh so, so he 309 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:44,960 gets he gets a little ridiculous with that part. But the premise that he 310 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:49,960 started with is correct. And Ken Cucinelli was correct to call out Casey Hunt 311 00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:56,240 live on the air and say that's dishonest. And you have edited that to 312 00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:02,000 make it look like something that's not you know who, actually, you know 313 00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:03,920 who got it right. It surprised me a little bit. The New York 314 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,759 Post. According to The New York Post, de Santis called out Republicans in 315 00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:12,119 Congress and called them listless vessels. So the New York Posts got it right. 316 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,920 But but I see a lot of media outlets picking this up and they're 317 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,079 going with the with the original CNN narrative, and it's just dishonest. Hello 318 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,640 to Ronda Fervero, who joins us from the great state of California. Hi, 319 00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:30,519 Rhonda, I hope you're okay where you are California. My god, 320 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,559 I saw video over the weekend of Look, they're not used to this, 321 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:45,480 the hurricane and a hurricane and an earthquake at once. That's apocalyptic. Yeah, 322 00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:51,640 seeing streets in southern California flooding like that just incredible. I think it 323 00:24:51,799 --> 00:24:53,880 was, if I remember correctly from what I read, it was their first 324 00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,079 actual tropical storm that it hit, you know, Mexico and then south in 325 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:07,680 California in the Las Vegas in eighty four years. So in California they've had 326 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,079 a run of I mean, if you remember last winter, I remember at 327 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,920 one point saying on the show it seemed like California had a harsher winter than 328 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,400 we did when they were getting all that snow and it was just relentless parts 329 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,279 of California that never see snow, and they've got snow up to the roofs 330 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:33,400 of people's houses, just crazy stuff. I don't worry about climate change though 331 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,759 it's all a hoax. Ron's on the line, Hey, Ron, how 332 00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:41,200 you doing, good man? How are you doing, buddy? Very well. 333 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920 I had no idea that because it's been going on a lot going on 334 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,640 over here in my house. I had no idea that California suffered at an 335 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:55,240 earthquake. But they are. They still suffering from wildfires. And could the 336 00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:57,839 you know, this hurricane, need of the winds make it worse or the 337 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,240 rain helped fight? What's your thoughts on that. I don't know. I 338 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:04,920 don't know if there's any current wildfires in uh in California or not. Run 339 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,039 that's a good question. I mean, it seems like you could almost bet 340 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:12,640 that there are, because it seems like there always are the time of year. 341 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,799 But no, I don't I don't know if any current wildfire. I 342 00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:18,799 don't think in southern California there there are where they. I mean, you 343 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,599 know, obviously all that rain would have helped with that, but I don't 344 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,359 think so. I don't think so currently. M Other than that, I'm 345 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,000 just gonna listen to the show. But you know, you brought that up, 346 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,119 and I was just thinking, you know, just what I just said. 347 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,599 So I thought, wow, because you didn't make things worse like it 348 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,559 did in why or maybe it could help, you know, reduce the fire. 349 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,839 So right right, yeah, thanks you, thanks for doing the political 350 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,799 thing.

Hey Ron, 368 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,599 Yeah, I don't ask me why, but I felt compelled to offer 369 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,960 the reason why. I said, so much is going on. I spent 370 00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:17,319 the whole day with the irs on hold, and then you get him on 371 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,960 hold and then oops, we lost the call.

Yes, indeed, six O 382 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,720 three six seven is a studio line six ZHO three two five six seven. 383 00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:14,920 Uh. Let's see, yeah, Jenny sent me, just sent me this. 384 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:19,920 Trump's bond in Georgia election interference case set at two hundred thousand dollars. 385 00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:23,759 I'm sure he can afford it. He's a billionaire, although apparently Rudy Giuliani 386 00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:27,920 he still won't pay Rudy Giuliani for that legal work that he did. Akeman 387 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,599 Breezy and the Michael's loss as a hashtag Matt that's right of us. We 388 00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:38,200 are from Greensboro, North Carolina. And Ron is a cool guy from US. 389 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:44,000 Well, very nice. Oh and hello to Chris Rose from the Commonwealth 390 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,839 of Massachusetts, who joins us in the chat. Let's see. It says 391 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:55,240 here the bond agreement came after Trump's lawyers met with officials from District Attorney Fannie 392 00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,720 Willis's office inside the courthouse. It says here, former President Donald Trump has 393 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:06,200 agreed to a two hundred thousand dollars bond agreed. Why don't think he has 394 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,440 a choice, does he? While his lawyers must have negotiated it I suppose 395 00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:14,359 two hundred thousand dollars bond in the Georgia criminal case charging him with trying to 396 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,559 illegally overturn the twenty twenty presidential election results in the state. Under the terms 397 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:26,759 of the consent bond order filed in court Monday afternoon, this was just happened. 398 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,960 Trump agreed to the bond amount on charges that include racketeering, criminal conspiracy, 399 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,200 criminal solicitation, filing false documents, and making false statements. The order 400 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,519 was signed off by Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee. The order, which was 401 00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:47,359 signed by Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis and Trump's attorneys, says that Trump 402 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,279 quote shall perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to 403 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,480 be a co defendant or witness in this case, or to otherwise obstruct the 404 00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:00,799 administration of justice unquote. And we all know why that's in there right. 405 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,839 It also says the quote defendant shall make no direct or indirect threat of any 406 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,799 nature against the community or to any property in the community. The above shall 407 00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:15,640 include, but are not limited to posts on social media or reposts of posts 408 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:22,680 made by another individual on social media unquote. In other words, no threatening 409 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,640 people. No, you know, you know, well that's it, really, 410 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,640 no threatening people are implying that you want other people to threaten people or 411 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:40,480 anything like that. The filing was filed with the court after members of Trump's 412 00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:51,359 legal team drew these are I'm laughing because I see I see this phrase members 413 00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:53,359 of Trump's legal team, and then I see three names. I don't recognize. 414 00:31:53,400 --> 00:32:00,960 How many lawyers has Trump been through? Drew Fine Blane, Rissa Goldberg, 415 00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:06,759 and Jennifer Little. We're spotted entering the Fulton County Courthouse around two ten 416 00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:10,480 pm, walking in the direction of the DA's office. They declined to comment 417 00:32:10,559 --> 00:32:15,640 to reporters on their way in. Willis last week at the former president with 418 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,920 eight and eighteen others with racketeering charges for allegedly scheming overturned the results of the 419 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,720 twenty twenty election. We know all of that. Let's see skipping down a 420 00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:30,440 little bit. Oh, other defendants agreed to bond packages with prosecutors this afternoon 421 00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,880 as well. As of late this afternoon, Trump's was the only one signed 422 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:40,240 off on by Willis. The others were signed by her deputy, John Eastman, 423 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:45,240 the lawyer charged with helping to orchestrate Trump's fake collector scheme agreed to a 424 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:49,839 one hundred thousand dollars bond in the case on the charges including racketeering, criminal 425 00:32:49,839 --> 00:32:54,519 conspiracy, and filing false documents. Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee signed off on 426 00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:59,240 the agreement Monday afternoon. The filing shows, under the terms of the order, 427 00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:02,400 Eastman quote shall report to pre trial supervision every thirty days, and shall 428 00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:08,079 perform no act to intimidate any person known to him or her to be a 429 00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:14,960 co defendant or witness in the case, or to otherwise obstruct the administration of 430 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,079 justice unquote. What was it that Hirschmann said to him? He testified in 431 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:24,319 the January sixth committee. He said, get a lawyer, because you're gonna 432 00:33:24,319 --> 00:33:28,000 need one. Get yourself a good lawyer. You're gonna need one. But 433 00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:31,039 I think he didn't say it quite that way. He all included some expletives 434 00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:36,240 which I can't say here. Obviously. The order also holds that Eastman quote 435 00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:39,400 shall not communicate in any way directly or indirectly about the facts of this case 436 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:44,440 with any person known to him to be a codefendant or witness in this case, 437 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,359 except through his or her counsel. Unquote conditions. Trump also agreed to 438 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,839 Eastman, who's referenced but not charged, as a co conspirator in Special counsel 439 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,119 Jack Smith's federal criminal case against Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the twenty twenty 440 00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:06,559 election results. Features prominently and repeatedly in the DA's indictment. It goes on 441 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,079 a bit about Eastman. But there's another aspect of this that I'm just very 442 00:34:12,119 --> 00:34:17,440 interested in to see where this goes. And some legal experts, which I 443 00:34:17,559 --> 00:34:24,400 certainly am not, I'm not, I'm not an attorney or a legal expert 444 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:34,039 of any kind. But Mark Meadows. So Mark Meadows, of course, 445 00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,400 Trump's chief of staff at the end, the last one there. While all 446 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,480 this was going on. Mark Meadows says his attorneys have filed two motions. 447 00:34:40,559 --> 00:34:45,000 One have the case dismissed, the charge is dismissed in Georgia, his charges 448 00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:52,079 specifically, you've got nineteen co defendants, including Trump. One motion have his 449 00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:59,280 charge is dismissed, and the second, if not dismissed, to have his 450 00:34:59,519 --> 00:35:07,119 case removed from Georgia and to be made a federal case. And it might 451 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,920 work. Some legal experts are saying it might not be as much of a 452 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:15,679 long shot as you'd think. His attorneys might have a sound argument not for 453 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,400 the dismissal, but for the removal and moved to a federal court. It 454 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,400 says here this is from the Hill. Mark Meadows, who served as Trump's 455 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,400 White House chief of staff, is urging a judge to dismiss criminal charges brought 456 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,480 against him last week. Alongside his former boss. Meadows insisted he is immune 457 00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:39,440 from Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis's prosecution because the allegations are connected his role 458 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:46,679 as a federal official. Again, I'm not a legal expert of any kind, 459 00:35:47,639 --> 00:35:52,760 but so I say this only as a layman. But that sounds like 460 00:35:53,440 --> 00:36:00,280 that might be a sound argument, right if he's doing all of this on 461 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,840 behalf of Trump, doing it from the White House, not in Georgia. 462 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,920 Now, the thing is where he may have gotten caught up in this is 463 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,280 Mark Meadows did go to Georgia at one point, and there are some conflicting 464 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:20,119 accounts about his activity in Georgia while he was there, quote unquote investigating or 465 00:36:20,159 --> 00:36:27,960 whatever term you want to use, potential voter fraud. So that might be 466 00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:30,599 where he gets caught up. But this actually could work in theory, so 467 00:36:30,639 --> 00:36:36,320 it says here. Meadows was indicted alongside Trump and seventeen others last week in 468 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,079 a sprawling racketeering indictment over alleged efforts to overturned George This twenty twenty election results. 469 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,880 Meadows faces two charges. After the indictment was filed, Meadows quickly began 470 00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:52,440 an attempt to move his case from state to federal court. Over the weekend, 471 00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:54,599 his attorneys went a step further and asked to judge weighing the attempted move 472 00:36:54,679 --> 00:37:01,440 to dismiss the charges against Meadows entirely. His attorneys wrote, quote, as 473 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,880 a federal official at the time of the charged conduct, he is immune from 474 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:14,599 state prosecution under the Supremacy Clause of the Federal Constitution. Unquote. Meadows has 475 00:37:14,639 --> 00:37:21,039 insistity as immunity because the allegations, which include organizing calls between Georgia election officials 476 00:37:21,039 --> 00:37:24,639 and Trump as well as meeting with Michigan lawmakers about unfounded claims of fraud, 477 00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:30,079 were part of his function as chief of staff, and that he complied with 478 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:37,280 federal law. His attorneys wrote, quote, the conduct charged here falls squarely 479 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:42,800 within the scope of mister meadows duties as chief of staff and the federal policy 480 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,360 underline that role. He needs show only sub nexus, but here the connection 481 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:55,119 is much closer than what that broad standard embraces. Une Meadows so far is 482 00:37:55,159 --> 00:38:00,679 so far the only of the nineteen defendants to attempt to dismiss the charges ahead 483 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:04,559 of the trial or movis case to federal court, though more are expected. 484 00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:10,039 Jeffrey Clark, as an indicted Justice Department official whom Trump wanted to make Attorney 485 00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:15,440 General after the twenty twenty election, has signaled he may also raise an immunity 486 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:22,400 defense to his charges under the supremacy Clause. All defendants also face a deadline 487 00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:29,360 of Friday to surrender themselves to the Fulton County Court. So I just I 488 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:35,440 think the Mark Meadows angle is interesting, and I do wonder will that argument 489 00:38:35,559 --> 00:38:39,559 work. And I'm not saying that I think it will. I don't know, 490 00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:45,639 but I'll be very curious to find out. Six three two five six 491 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,280 Z seven is a studio line. If you'd like to join a six three 492 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,960 two five six seven, we will take your call. And I saw this 493 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,320 is something I saw on media. This is kind of this kind of came 494 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,280 out of nowhere, but I thought it was interesting, you know us. 495 00:39:04,519 --> 00:39:07,320 Of course, we started at the top of the show talking about media and 496 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,960 how you know, media has different I don't like when people speak about the 497 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,519 media in a monolithic way, and media has different levels and layers and factions 498 00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:21,480 and so forth. And in the conservative wing of the media, of course, 499 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:27,239 you have for example, Newsmax. There's a story here again this is 500 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:35,039 from media I. Newsmax denies report alleging they tried to shake down Vvaku Ramaswamy 501 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,719 by offering coverage for cash. And by the way, that is how you 502 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,880 pronounce his name, it's Vake. I only know that because I saw him 503 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:52,239 interviewed on another show where this particular host pronounced it vvak, and Vak thanked 504 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,119 him for pronouncing his name correctly and said he was the only one. But 505 00:39:55,159 --> 00:40:02,079 he doesn't mind answering to vvec it says here. Republican President candidate vevaik Ramaswamy 506 00:40:02,159 --> 00:40:08,760 reportedly told close associates that Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy made clear he should pay to 507 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:16,800 appear more on the network. UH Senator uh Semaphores, Max Tanney and Shelby 508 00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:24,400 Talcott summarized Ruddy's message to Ramaswamy. In a devastating article yesterday, Some of 509 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:30,480 four reported that on a private phone call, Ramaswamy quote had complained that the 510 00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:37,239 right leaning network was sticking him in little watched mid day slots or ignoring him 511 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:43,199 outright unquote. Ruddy's response to Ramaswamy was to make clear that if he quote 512 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:46,480 wants to appear on Newsmax, he should pay to do it, unquote, 513 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:53,800 reported the article, citing quote two people to whom the candidate described the conversation 514 00:40:54,559 --> 00:41:01,000 unquote. Newsmax vehemently denied the report and added that soliciting political advertisements is commonplace. 515 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:07,320 That's an interesting way to approach it. We vehemently deny this, but 516 00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:09,920 you know, but you know, would it really be so bad? In 517 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:17,800 other words? Newsmax spokesperson Build Daddy, that's a fun name. Build Daddy 518 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,519 replied to Some of Foreign a statement declaring the notion quote that Newsmax is asking 519 00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:29,239 candidates to advertise in order to ensure coverage us some quid pro quo is categorically 520 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:34,159 untrue and incorrect. Newsmax would take an assertion such as that very seriously. 521 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:39,199 There is no correlation between advertising and editorial visibility. For any candidate on Newsmax. 522 00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:44,360 If candidates want to reach our audience outside of our programming, then of 523 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:49,000 course advertising would be a good way for them to do this. This is 524 00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:53,599 the basis of all political advertising. Unquote. See I like that. No, 525 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:58,840 we're not doing anything wrong, but if we were to do something, 526 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:05,440 it wouldn't be wrong. Scott Robinson says in the chat room, was the 527 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,280 other show you saw him on? Matt Connerton unsheathed It absolutely was not, 528 00:42:09,679 --> 00:42:21,159 Scott, absolutely not. Uh Doddy Duddy Daddy added quote, as is true 529 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:27,199 for all networks. Oh, that's the same. This is a sloppily written 530 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:34,480 article on media. It's part. They repeated that in another paragraph. Okay, 531 00:42:34,519 --> 00:42:37,360 Semaphore is editor in chief. Ben Smith shared the story online and wrote, 532 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,239 quote, this is actually a very serious allegation against Newsmax, which is 533 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,039 under huge financial pressure right now from Dominion and Smart Maddock unquote. Yes, 534 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:53,639 yes, those lawsuits. You know, Fox News can afford. Fox News 535 00:42:53,679 --> 00:42:59,599 can actually afford what is it like, two hundred and seventy million dollars? 536 00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:05,920 That judgment was something like that. It was some obscene number. Fox can 537 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,360 afford it. Newsmax maybe not so much, not as big as Fox. 538 00:43:09,679 --> 00:43:14,840 But Rupert Murdock he can afford it. He's got some deep pockets to him. 539 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,000 It's just the cost of doing business, right. But for Newsmax, 540 00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:23,000 uh, it might not be so simple. The Semaphore story published Newsmax's lengthy 541 00:43:23,039 --> 00:43:29,159 denial, but also made clear that Ramaswamy's accusation is apparently indicative of a pattern 542 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,880 at the network that also allows sitting members of Congress to host opinion shows. 543 00:43:34,119 --> 00:43:40,960 That's true, Matt Gates has a show on Newsmax. I don't recall another 544 00:43:42,039 --> 00:43:50,639 example of that phenomenon where you know, obviously a lot of people when they 545 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,800 leave politics, when they when they leave office or when they leave an administration, 546 00:43:55,360 --> 00:44:01,519 they go to work for one of the cable news outlets, very very 547 00:44:01,519 --> 00:44:07,360 common. I cannot think of another example off the top of my head, 548 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,519 and there may be one I'm just not thinking of, where a sitting member 549 00:44:10,559 --> 00:44:15,679 of Congress who currently holds office goes and hosts a show on a cable news 550 00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:19,480 network. But yeah, Matt Gates, he's got that. He's got this 551 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:25,599 podcast that he does that kind of resembles a cable news show. He's all 552 00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:29,320 set if he ever gets voted out. He doesn't care. He'll be a 553 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:39,039 social media influencer. He doesn't care. So let's see there's Oh, where 554 00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:42,960 is this from? Okay, Oh, this is from the report, so 555 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,360 there's more to that report. The Semaphore published quote. Ramaswamy's account of his 556 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:53,039 conversation comes with a persuasive data point, Ruddy's comments. Remember Chris Ruddy from 557 00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:58,159 Newsmax. Ruddy's comments, as reported by the candidate, raised the question of 558 00:44:58,199 --> 00:45:02,559 why else Newsmax would devoting so much attention to Perry Johnson, who is more 559 00:45:02,679 --> 00:45:08,480 closely tied to the network than anyone except Trump. Unquote. By the way, 560 00:45:08,519 --> 00:45:13,239 this next paragraph tells us who Perry Johnson is. Perry Johnson's name first 561 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,519 came up on this show last week when we were looking at a list of 562 00:45:15,519 --> 00:45:17,960 candidates who had qualified for that first debate coming up in Milwaukee. And if 563 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,760 you were listening, you might remember, I sat here, going, who 564 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,559 is Perry Johnson? I've never even heard of this person, but he somehow 565 00:45:24,599 --> 00:45:29,360 has qualified for the debate coming up? And I don't know who Perry Johnson 566 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,559 even is. Well, I still don't know, but I'm about to find 567 00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:35,559 out along with you, if you didn't already know it says here. Perry 568 00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:39,960 Johnson, a businessman and long shot GOP candidate who runs paid ads on Newsmax, 569 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:45,519 has not only appeared regularly on Newsmax as a candidate, but has both 570 00:45:45,519 --> 00:45:52,039 hosted a primetime show on Sunday End is quote the focus of multiple recurring documentary 571 00:45:52,119 --> 00:45:57,679 style shows on the cable channel about his campaign. Unquote, Well, I 572 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,440 don't you know whatever I mean, he's spending the money. Rob Dan joins 573 00:46:00,519 --> 00:46:04,199 us in the Facebook live chat. Rob of course part of the w MH 574 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,360 family. He has his own show through the Stage Store, and he does 575 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:13,159 name that tune Thursday mornings on the Morning Show with Peter White, which you 576 00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:16,199 can hear weekdays from seven to nine am here on WMH with a replay from 577 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:22,599 two to four pm. Right before this show, let's see We've got Yeah, 578 00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:23,920 We've got a few minutes left in this segment. Coming up at the 579 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,119 top of the hour, we're gonna be joined by members of the band House 580 00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:31,559 Lights. They're coming in for an acoustic performance. On Friday, we did 581 00:46:31,599 --> 00:46:35,480 the world radio premiere of their brand new single. They're gonna come in and 582 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,719 play for us live in studio in a little bit, so really looking forward 583 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:53,039 to that. Huh, we'll save that. Oh Sam beatridis heeries out in 584 00:46:53,079 --> 00:47:00,280 the hallway. We'll do one more quick thing. I just think it's kind 585 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:07,760 of funny that I saw this, this phrase. This is trending right now 586 00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:13,719 apparently on social media. Giant murder wave in all caps. And when you 587 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,079 hear a phrase like that, you know, in the context of climate change 588 00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:20,760 and so forth and all this severe weather, you might think there was like 589 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:25,800 a giant wave of murder currently hitting the California coast or something like that. 590 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:36,159 But apparently it's actually something Trump said about Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia. Giant 591 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,840 murder wave. Trump takes attacks on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to an absurd new 592 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,519 level. I don't know, I kind of like it. It's in all 593 00:47:43,639 --> 00:47:45,960 caps with an exclamation point after it. It's dramatic. I don't know, 594 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,360 I dig it. This is from media. I also just something quick and 595 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,920 then we'll go to a break and get those guys in. It says it 596 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:57,320 is fair to say that former President Donald Trump is not a huge fan of 597 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,840 Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, but the ex President's animus at least expressed on social 598 00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:05,800 media, went to new heights this morning when Trump blamed Kemp for what he 599 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,760 called a giant murder wave. I wish I had some sort of effect, 600 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,800 like an echo effect that I could just activate. When I say it, 601 00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,519 you'll be like giant murder wave, wave wave. I just think that'd be 602 00:48:17,559 --> 00:48:23,280 fun. At issue as Trump's eagerness to impeach Fulton County DA Fani Willis, 603 00:48:23,559 --> 00:48:29,159 who he labeled as quote crooked, competent, and highly partisan. Unquote will 604 00:48:29,199 --> 00:48:35,119 Listed indeed reveal her partisan nature during her campaign, which CNN CNN's Elihona brutally 605 00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:37,679 called out, but there is no evidence of her being crooked or corrupt as 606 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:46,679 Trump alleged. Nonetheless, Trump blamed Kemp and Willis for ostensibly allowing quote murder 607 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:52,559 and other violent crime to massively escalate. It's in all caps. That's why 608 00:48:52,719 --> 00:49:00,960 say it that way. Crime in Atlanta is worst in nation. Oh, 609 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,639 here's the whole thing. I wish I could do a Trump impression. Here's 610 00:49:05,639 --> 00:49:09,480 the whole thing from truth. Social Governor Brian Kemp is fighting hard against the 611 00:49:09,519 --> 00:49:15,239 impeachment of the crooked, incompetent, and highly partisan DA of Fulton County Fannie 612 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:22,559 Willis, who has allowed murder and other violent crime to massively escalate. Pretend 613 00:49:22,639 --> 00:49:25,239 you're it's the theater of the mind radio. Pretend you're here in an echo 614 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:30,000 effect every time I do that. Crime in Atlanta is worst in nation. 615 00:49:30,639 --> 00:49:35,280 She should be impeached for many reasons, not just the witch hunt. I 616 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,480 did nothing wrong. Willis should focus on out of control murder, not I 617 00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:47,199 will get Trump over a perfect phone call. Georgia does not deserve this giant 618 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:52,719 murder wave. By the way, I will just say I do agree with 619 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,800 Trump on one thing. I don't think Georgia deserves a giant murder wave. 620 00:49:57,199 --> 00:50:00,119 I don't think anybody deserves a giant murder wave. This is America. We 621 00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:06,400 don't need giant murder waves. Okay, you know, unless it's a look, 622 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,079 if there's a tsunami coming and you want to point to it and say, 623 00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:12,400 look at that giant murder wave, that might be appropriate. But you 624 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,639 know, other than that, I think that you know, this is something 625 00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:19,480 that we just shouldn't have. I in fact, I'm going to take a 626 00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:22,639 position on that right now. This is my position. I am opposed to 627 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:28,480 giant murder waves. Murder in general. Seems bad, but a giant murder 628 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:34,360 wave seems extra bad, probably because you know, I did almost drown once 629 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,320 when I was a kid. My dad had to save me. So, 630 00:50:36,519 --> 00:50:39,599 you know, the idea of a giant wave just full of murder, it's 631 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:45,159 very disquieting to even contemplate it, says here. According to a recent wallet 632 00:50:45,199 --> 00:50:51,719 hub report, Atlanta is ranked eleventh in the nation for violent crime and has 633 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,880 seen an increase in murder rates over the past few years. No doubt Atlanta 634 00:50:55,039 --> 00:50:59,360 is not the safest city in the nation, but it's problems do not seem 635 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:06,880 material different than any other urban areas in red and blue states. I don't 636 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:15,599 know. I don't know where Trump got his information there. I don't think 637 00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:17,840 he got any information. Actually, I think he's just he's probably sitting around 638 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,559 going you know, I think giant murder wave would just look really cool in 639 00:51:22,639 --> 00:51:28,679 a truth social post. He also does that thing where he randomly capitalizes certain 640 00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,719 words for I don't know what reason. Bothers me. Hello to our friend 641 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,519 Miriam Bannish, who joins us in the Facebook lap chat and says, good 642 00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:39,760 afternoon, Good afternoon, Miriam.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing you guys play. 692 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,800 And uh, you guys have worked together for how long is this? Uh 693 00:58:49,239 --> 00:58:53,320 we met so we met in college at Hester College in Manchester way back in 694 00:58:53,719 --> 00:58:59,960 two thousand and eight. Yeah, probably, Yeah, So we've been making 695 00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:02,880 music off and on ever since, you know, several hiatuses throughout Uh, 696 00:59:04,119 --> 00:59:06,760 you know, life gets in the way, and but we keep coming back 697 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,480 to each other. We work really well together, and uh, you know, 698 00:59:08,719 --> 00:59:12,360 this is some of the best music that I feel like we've ever made 699 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,039 together, for sure. So yeah, yeah, and I love the new 700 00:59:15,119 --> 00:59:17,679 single. We just gave that a little, gave that a spin there that 701 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:22,880 no longer myself. That's great and that just came out Friday. Correct, 702 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,519 yep, excellent, excellent. Well, you guys are gonna play something for 703 00:59:25,599 --> 00:59:29,519 us. What are you? What are you gonna play? Yeah, we're 704 00:59:29,559 --> 00:59:32,760 gonna play a song called Speaking Tongues. Uh. It's second single off our 705 00:59:34,079 --> 00:59:38,199 album it's coming out of September. First called what it Means to Feel Yeah, 706 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:44,000 and the song just giving kind of a uh, you know, synopsis 707 00:59:44,119 --> 00:59:49,719 on what it means. It's kind of a song about being really having having 708 00:59:49,719 --> 00:59:52,239 difficulty being able to communicate, whether it be in a relationship that you have 709 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:58,320 with anyone, you know, a personal relationship or work relationship, whatever it 710 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,719 may be, trying to get the right words out and just can't do it. 711 01:00:01,719 --> 01:00:05,119 So I think, you know, I can certainly relate with that. 712 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,239 I communicate best through music, So that's why I wrote the song. And 713 01:00:08,599 --> 01:00:13,159 yeah, all right, very cool. Well, whenever you guys are ready, 714 01:00:13,159 --> 01:00:15,920 I'm looking forward to this a lot. We have a house lights here 715 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:37,679 with us, live in studio. Cool. Talk to you today before the 716 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:44,199 words escay? Where do I start straight from my heart? Thoughts fall apart? 717 01:00:46,239 --> 01:00:53,559 Understanding what's making you so angry? I'm messing up so badly in the 718 01:00:53,679 --> 01:01:00,559 tank. To make you happy, You've gotta fight for something. There's no 719 01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:10,000 progressing pretending everything's just find kid turn back time. There's no rewind. I 720 01:01:10,199 --> 01:01:19,840 took abuse today, could not articulate what I'm feeling inside this fragile mind. 721 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:28,639 I'm trying to hide what am I not understanding? Was making me so angry. 722 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,920 I'm messing up so badly. Want it take to make me happy. 723 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:42,679 We've got up, but for something. There's no progressing, pretending everything's just 724 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:49,760 find kid turn back time. There's no rewind. We can't a run our 725 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,800 feelings have to face them to find healing. If we draw the line, 726 01:01:54,880 --> 01:02:04,000 we may just find will be all right. Lone away for you, knowing 727 01:02:04,119 --> 01:02:09,199 nothing can be perfect, or if it's even worth it, but I'll try 728 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:15,400 it anyway. Can I still make you nervous? I can only dream of 729 01:02:15,559 --> 01:02:22,039 metamorphous hope, for a crest on the surface, breaking through the other side. 730 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:37,719 How could I be so stupid? I lost you, chipping away and 731 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:44,519 my old habits today, thought I needed helping away. I let us astray, 732 01:02:46,679 --> 01:02:52,760 chipping away and my old habits today. Thought I need it open my 733 01:02:52,880 --> 01:03:01,440 way. But now I'm okay, here to stay. You never understand me? 734 01:03:02,559 --> 01:03:07,880 Is that why we're so angry? I'm messing up so badly this time? 735 01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:15,920 My kids make you happy. We've gotta fight for something. There's no 736 01:03:15,239 --> 01:03:22,239 progress in pretending everything's just fine. Kids, turn back time, there's no 737 01:03:22,559 --> 01:03:30,159 rewind cannot right. Our feelings have to face them to find healing. If 738 01:03:30,239 --> 01:03:35,719 we draw the line, we may just fine. We'll be all right. 739 01:03:36,679 --> 01:03:40,039 Is that on us? Not speaking songs?

I do see how Eric Pilcher has joined us in the 753 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:40,840 Facebook live chat and Aikman, Breezy and The Michael's Loss as house lights. 754 01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:45,559 We say keep on rocking from us, thank you, thank you. There 755 01:04:45,639 --> 01:04:49,320 you go. That's the long name, Ikeman, Breezy and the Michael's Law. 756 01:04:50,679 --> 01:04:54,519 Yeah. So, so the album comes out, is it September one? 757 01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,440 Was it very good? Yeah? Just some time for Labor Day. 758 01:04:57,480 --> 01:05:00,920 You can spend your weekend jamming it wherever you're traveling. How many how many 759 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:05,599 tracks? Eleven? Eleven very good And we actually had fourteen that we could 760 01:05:05,639 --> 01:05:09,960 have recorded and we uh so we have some potential material for the future, 761 01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:12,599 but a few that just didn't quite make the cut. Okay, Well what 762 01:05:12,679 --> 01:05:15,840 goes into that? What goes into that decision? Yeah, you know, 763 01:05:16,519 --> 01:05:20,360 it really depends on a couple different things. So first we want to pick, 764 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:25,320 obviously the ones that we think are our strongest, and then you know, 765 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,840 you kind of look at like the flow of the album and what you 766 01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:30,079 think is going to make sense. Yeah, you know, because we'll we'll 767 01:05:30,119 --> 01:05:33,599 try to blend up a mix of different genres. We'll have songs that are 768 01:05:33,639 --> 01:05:36,960 more like pop punk, and then we'll have ones that are more metal, 769 01:05:38,239 --> 01:05:43,519 you know, almost hardcore. So it's finally the right balance between everything. 770 01:05:44,039 --> 01:05:45,519 You don't want to skew too much to one side, at least we don't 771 01:05:45,519 --> 01:05:48,239 want to. We want to like kind of show all the different influences that 772 01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:53,639 we've had throughout our lives. Yeah, yeah, and you guys have so 773 01:05:53,719 --> 01:05:58,000 you guys have performed music together for a long time. Right, So did 774 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,400 you have other actual bands before Slights or Yeah, we were in Our first 775 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,039 band was called Horns become Halos. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I 776 01:06:05,079 --> 01:06:08,440 remember Sam. I remember you mentioning that name before and I was like, 777 01:06:08,519 --> 01:06:12,760 oh, that's a cool name. Uh. And then yeah, after that, 778 01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,360 that band kind of turned into house Lights over time. We had released 779 01:06:16,519 --> 01:06:23,239 house Lights has released an EP it's already on streaming called Stages. We released 780 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,719 that back in twenty fourteen, and that was kind of like a concept album 781 01:06:27,199 --> 01:06:30,320 on how to deal with grief, like kind of the five Stages of grief 782 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,239 or death if you've ever heard of that before. So you know, that 783 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:38,000 was a kind of a new thing for us doing a concept album. This 784 01:06:38,159 --> 01:06:41,119 isn't a concept album, so much, but kind of all the songs are 785 01:06:41,159 --> 01:06:44,559 linked in the sense that they're all kind of an expiration and kind of like 786 01:06:44,679 --> 01:06:46,719 human emotion. I'm surely the same top more to that, right, Yeah, 787 01:06:46,719 --> 01:06:48,800 I mean, well, you know when we talked back in April, 788 01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,880 when I was in here of the you know, promoting all this forward and 789 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:56,440 stuff. But this album, you know, not necessarily a concept album, 790 01:06:56,639 --> 01:07:00,880 but it's all you know, the lyrics are all related to per experiences that 791 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,320 I that I have every day, that I have memories of that I've gone 792 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:08,079 through, you know, So it's it's kind of a concept album for my 793 01:07:08,639 --> 01:07:11,760 uh my inner psyche. I guess you could say, you know, just 794 01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,760 me processing all the different things going on in life and trying to find a 795 01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,679 way to you know kind of you know, put it put a spin on 796 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:24,440 them, hopeful spin or or just you know, come to terms with things 797 01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:27,440 and try to move on in any way that I can. And like Matt 798 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,039 said, I mean, music is one of the ways that we know how 799 01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:34,280 to communicate best, you know, and it's a music is a universal language. 800 01:07:34,639 --> 01:07:38,840 I love that music can mean different things to different people. Yeah, 801 01:07:39,159 --> 01:07:42,559 you know, you can listen to you know, twenty people listen to song 802 01:07:42,599 --> 01:07:45,199 and every one of them can find a different meaning. And that's that's amazing 803 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,119 to me, so very very happy that we could get to do that every 804 01:07:48,239 --> 01:07:51,360 day. And Matt, you write the music, is that? Yeah, 805 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:56,039 I write the majority of the music. So I'll generally start with guitar and 806 01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,639 the way I kind of do it, you know, honestly, sometimes I'll 807 01:07:58,639 --> 01:08:00,239 just open up I'll go to my computer, all open up logic and I'll 808 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,039 plug in my guitar and I'll I'll start recording and then play. So I 809 01:08:04,079 --> 01:08:08,960 won't even like jam first. I'll you know, I'll just start practicing, 810 01:08:09,119 --> 01:08:12,199 see what comes out, and if anything sticks, have already got you know, 811 01:08:12,599 --> 01:08:14,840 a demo track at least recorded, and then I can do it a 812 01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:17,319 little bit better, you know, and tweaking, you know, touch it 813 01:08:17,399 --> 01:08:20,800 up to how I want it to sound. And I think, like especially 814 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,239 the same and I worked so well because I think the music as I write 815 01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:28,479 it, you know, full song, I may have like kind of a 816 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,359 sadder you know sounding verse or you know, maybe uplifting chorus, but towards 817 01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:36,079 the end of our bridges, we kind of have like there's a conclusion sound 818 01:08:36,119 --> 01:08:40,319 to it, kind of like a finite like kind of purpose. And I 819 01:08:40,399 --> 01:08:44,520 think Sam likes really good lyrics that kind of compliments that. Yeah, no, 820 01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:49,119 that makes sense. Now have you guys played Do you guys ever play 821 01:08:49,199 --> 01:08:53,079 out acoustic just the two of you, like like you did here today or 822 01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:57,840 was that a yeah, that was pretty much the person that's we Uh, 823 01:08:58,159 --> 01:09:00,439 you know, we'll get We used to play around and horns become halos. 824 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,800 I think twenty eleven was our last show. Yeah, and neither of us 825 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:08,199 have played live. It's been a bit not original music, you know. 826 01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:11,399 I've done a couple of little things here and there, Yeah, but nothing 827 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:15,239 nothing for house lights. Yeah, okay, so okay, we've been we've 828 01:09:15,239 --> 01:09:18,239 been working on getting the full band together. We finally have a second guitarists, 829 01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:21,680 so we've been good charging ahead, you know, practicing, learning the 830 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:27,119 songs, trying to find a space to practice. Oh yeah, so that's 831 01:09:27,159 --> 01:09:30,880 always tough, but you know, we're we're on the lookout for a practice 832 01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,920 space so we can all get together and you know, hopefully my my original 833 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:38,199 target was you know, maybe end of the fall may be ready, so 834 01:09:38,319 --> 01:09:42,159 we'll see. We'll still try to try to hit that goal. But uh, 835 01:09:42,239 --> 01:09:45,119 you know, definitely be be ready. As soon as we're ready, 836 01:09:45,119 --> 01:09:47,920 we'll be getting shows going. So yeah, yeah, totally like a non 837 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,960 conventional way to kind of build a band or you know, start something where 838 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,680 I just recorded a bunch of songs first, then we did the vocals, 839 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,319 and then we said, hey, let's just you know, actually record these. 840 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,840 Let's get a mixed. We found this great mixer on the sound Better 841 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,720 website, which is a website you can go to. Finally, mixers, 842 01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:13,119 producers, et cetera. He's out of Argentina, which was awesome. So 843 01:10:13,199 --> 01:10:15,560 we got to work with someone really cool. They mixed and mastered the album 844 01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,600 for us, and then you know, now we're obviously trying to put together 845 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:24,680 a live show because yeah, there's nothing like playing live. It's it's such 846 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,079 a thrill. I love it. Yeah, when you guys were in the 847 01:10:27,159 --> 01:10:30,159 other band, uh Horns become Halos, did you play out a lot? 848 01:10:30,239 --> 01:10:31,439 Did you do a lot of shows? We played a decent amount. Yeah, 849 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,439 we played it like and a lot of these places don't exist anymore, 850 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:40,039 which is ahead, But the Sad Cafe, Rocos Ground Zero played all those 851 01:10:40,079 --> 01:10:45,359 places a couple other places too. Did any of that material make it into 852 01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:47,840 this band or is this all No, Yeah, it's so funny, ask 853 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:53,880 us. You know, so we one of the reasons why horns become halos 854 01:10:54,239 --> 01:10:58,159 ended is we uh we had an opportunity. Uh, I don't. I 855 01:10:58,199 --> 01:11:01,439 mean maybe twenty ten doesn't ten. Somewhere on there. We had an opportunity 856 01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:05,840 to go record with a studio in Florida. You know, a person that 857 01:11:06,039 --> 01:11:10,760 was previously in a pretty well known band that left to start their own studio 858 01:11:11,119 --> 01:11:13,640 gave us an opportunity. I'm not gonna say names because I don't want to 859 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,159 any bed blood or anything. Uh. You know, it was a confluence 860 01:11:16,239 --> 01:11:21,800 of us being young and hungry and not really understanding how things work and not 861 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,439 having our own stuff together because we were in no way ready. So we 862 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:30,600 went down to Florida for a couple of weeks, you know, tried to 863 01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:35,159 record an album, had some studio arguments, uh you know really yeah, 864 01:11:35,279 --> 01:11:39,479 oh yeah, there was a lot of stuff we hadn't figured out. Yeah, 865 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,079 we were a young band. I mean most of us were twenty one 866 01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:44,960 nineteen, you know, Bobby and Adam were a little bit younger than we 867 01:11:45,039 --> 01:11:48,760 are, and uh so we didn't really know what we were doing. Ye, 868 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,079 and each of us had an idea of how we thought it should go. 869 01:11:53,159 --> 01:11:55,359 We didn't iron it out, and so we got the studio and then 870 01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,560 the result is we we had a failed album. Essentially, we we ended 871 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,960 over the a bunch of like half mixed songs and a ton of them weren't 872 01:12:03,119 --> 01:12:06,960 finished. More than half of that album. We recorded a whole album down 873 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,840 there, but less than half of it we released, you know, because 874 01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,760 we just weren't happy with the end product. Yeah, but we learned a 875 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:15,920 lot from it too, so that's Yeah, we kind of, you know, 876 01:12:15,279 --> 01:12:19,399 decided to start doing things ourself, and you know, I kind of 877 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:25,039 trained myself to be proficient in you know, recording everything myself and and mixing 878 01:12:25,079 --> 01:12:27,199 a little bit at least to the point where you know, I get the 879 01:12:27,279 --> 01:12:30,840 point across and then we send it a professional. Yeah. So we so 880 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:34,680 we end up taking three songs from our previous stuff. One of them was 881 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:40,000 more around when we first started house Lights. But there's two songs that were 882 01:12:40,319 --> 01:12:43,920 on supposed to be on that Horns become Halo's album, the second one that 883 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,960 we have pulled for this one, and there's definitely more tracks that we're gonna 884 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,039 go back and revisit, yeah, you know, maybe revamp them a little 885 01:12:50,039 --> 01:12:53,399 bit, modernize them a little bit more. But hopefully for the you know, 886 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:57,800 whatever's next is definitely more material to come from that project. So is 887 01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,920 any of the Horns become Halos off online or is that you know it? 888 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,680 Actually it's not in any streaming services. We were just talking about that the 889 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:08,920 other day. Should we release it because you know, looking back at your 890 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,720 old stuff sometimes you cringe a little bit, but there's some there's definitely some 891 01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,000 good stuff there, so we might release it, yeah, and just probably 892 01:13:15,039 --> 01:13:18,239 release it under the house Light's name. Yeah, I mean you can find 893 01:13:18,279 --> 01:13:23,079 it now if you search Horns became Males on YouTube, no kidding. Yeah, 894 01:13:23,119 --> 01:13:26,840 there's there's at least most of that first album. There's stuff out there 895 01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,760 which was a much more kind of alternative rock sound, okay, a little 896 01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:35,640 bit more experimental, you know, not as polished by any means. And 897 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:39,640 uh, you know you'll hear me do some screaming on that. That's the 898 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,560 first time I ever jumped into screaming. Oh, no kidding. So yeah, 899 01:13:43,239 --> 01:13:45,399 it's cool to go back and see, you know, to see how 900 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:49,239 far you've you've come and where you've been and in the moment, you know, 901 01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:53,720 we definitely had different ideas of what the music was. Yeah, but 902 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,560 looking back at it, like, well, I used to be pretty like 903 01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:00,520 I used to be pretty embarrassed because my expectation for what I wanted to be 904 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,560 was not what we were achieving. But you know, you go looking back 905 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,439 at that stuff, it's pretty solid, Like some of it still holds up 906 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:11,079 for me, and like I'm I'm definitely no longer like oh yeah, don't 907 01:14:11,239 --> 01:14:13,159 listen to that push it off in the court, like I'm like, no, 908 01:14:13,279 --> 01:14:15,760 this is this is what we did. Like, yeah, I'm proud 909 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,640 of all of that music that we made. Yeah. Yeah, How did 910 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,720 that opportunity come up? When where you you went to Florida to record with? 911 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:28,960 Yeah, I mean we had released a full length album with someone local 912 01:14:29,079 --> 01:14:33,319 here at Project two Studios, This guy Connor had who we've been friends with 913 01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:38,159 for forever, you know, he makes the master that album for us, 914 01:14:38,319 --> 01:14:41,119 and then, uh, we were looking to do a second album and we 915 01:14:41,199 --> 01:14:44,199 got an opportunity to work with, you know, a guitarists from a band 916 01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:46,000 that we all kind of liked, you know. Unfortunately, thing it's just 917 01:14:46,079 --> 01:14:48,920 didn't really work out well. But yeah, you know, you live and 918 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:54,720 you learn. Yeah. Yeah, Now what about the other guys who were 919 01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:59,199 in the band with you at that time? Yeah, two of them are 920 01:14:59,359 --> 01:15:03,399 are you know, still with us. So we've got Adam Adams the drummer, 921 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:09,000 and he is amazing. He's a professional drummer. You know, he's 922 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:13,319 practically every night he's off doing a different gig for uh, you know, 923 01:15:13,399 --> 01:15:15,479 he's playing at Wallies. I think he played at Yeah, he played, 924 01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:17,800 he played at Wallis, he played, He's played at Fenway. He played 925 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,960 a House of Blues with Andy Brobs. Some people might have seen him. 926 01:15:21,159 --> 01:15:26,640 So he drums for for Live Good. He's got a lot of other acts 927 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,680 that he plays out with down in the you know, Massachusetts area. He 928 01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:34,239 started to branch up to New Hampshire a bit more, which is good. 929 01:15:34,399 --> 01:15:39,560 And he's got like five or six different projects that he is either in or 930 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,199 you know, plays out with or does studio work with. Yeah, so 931 01:15:43,319 --> 01:15:46,199 he's he's pretty incredible. Oh wow, yeah, excellent. And then we've 932 01:15:46,239 --> 01:15:51,479 got Bobby who was the guitarist back in Hornsbycome Halos and uh he now does 933 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:56,640 all the harsh, screaming vocals in these new songs. Ok. He's also 934 01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,279 in his own project called Hotel Graffiti shout out. Those guys are awesome. 935 01:16:00,319 --> 01:16:03,319 Absolutely, that's a cool name. Yeah. And then then we just added 936 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:08,399 our new friend Josh Noonan, who is going to be our second guitarist. 937 01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,720 So we're pretty stoked. He's been really jumping in, working very hard to 938 01:16:12,079 --> 01:16:14,760 learn the songs, so he had a lot of ideas, a lot of 939 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,840 feedback for us. Yeah, so we're we're excited man to bring it all 940 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,640 together. Excellent, excellent. Uh, let's see, we've got a couple 941 01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:25,520 of questions in the chat room. Jay fed Uh, one of our friends 942 01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,760 from Vermont, says, have you ever thought about increasing the lengths of your 943 01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,359 beards? Yeah, you guys are well, you guys have a little bit 944 01:16:32,399 --> 01:16:35,079 longer beards than me. I keep mind very trim. I don't even like 945 01:16:35,199 --> 01:16:38,479 having facial hair, to be honest with you, but I look better with 946 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,279 it. But so you guys have a little more length than me. But 947 01:16:41,359 --> 01:16:44,840 you guys don't have the you know, like bearding is a big thing now 948 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:46,640 where you got the people with the big beards. You guys everything about having 949 01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,359 big beards. I mean this is about as big as I usually let it 950 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:56,640 get Yeah, I don't. I don't like to manage it, honestly. 951 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,800 Yeah, yeah, a little bit of the same. So my wife hates 952 01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:04,600 my beard. Oh yeah. For the record, I know everyone else does, 953 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:06,880 that's the thing, but she just she does not like it. No 954 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:11,800 matter what people say, She's like, no, no beard. Yeah. 955 01:17:12,039 --> 01:17:15,720 I have let it get longer than it is now before. Yeah, you 956 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:17,319 know, this is this is the longest I've had one, for sure. 957 01:17:17,319 --> 01:17:21,560 It's been a little over a year. Yeah, but I'm actually like managing 958 01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:26,479 it now and taking care of it. So yeah, probably not much longer 959 01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,600 than this either. Yeah. Yeah. He was the baby face before this. 960 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,399 Yeah, back when we were doing all the other stuff. Yeah. 961 01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:39,520 J Fed also asked uh if you've ever considered uh oh as a band, 962 01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:44,920 do you ever consider the potential benefits from cold bathing that might have come up 963 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:49,119 before the ice bath guy. Yeah, yeah, maybe we'll have to. 964 01:17:49,239 --> 01:17:53,720 It'll be a social media thing we can do. Well, we'll jump in 965 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,640 an ice bathroom. I can't tried it. Yeah yeah, yeah, well 966 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,640 we'll set that's what we'll do. We can that can be one of our 967 01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:00,720 milestone challenges. We come up something and you know, if you hit it 968 01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:04,359 hit a certain mouthstone, we'll all jump in a nice challenge or yeah, 969 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:09,359 some people, some people swear by it. He says. The health benefits 970 01:18:09,399 --> 01:18:13,319 are remarkable. It wouldn't be for me, you know, the hypothermia and 971 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:17,000 things like that. Melanie law Liberty from the Great State of Vermont says, 972 01:18:17,039 --> 01:18:20,880 I'm picking blackberries as I listen, and I want Matt to know I am 973 01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:27,159 sometimes waist high and shrubs and reaching into bushes up to my shoulder. Can 974 01:18:27,199 --> 01:18:30,720 you visualize the spiders and ticks lurking? Matt? Yes, I can, 975 01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,279 and that's horrifying. I don't. I don't go into the woods myself. 976 01:18:34,399 --> 01:18:39,520 I'm like the least outdoorsy human you'll ever meet. I wish I could just 977 01:18:39,720 --> 01:18:44,720 like teleport from one concrete structure to another. You know, there's yeah, 978 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:49,720 there's there's ticks, there's uh bugs, there's yeah, yeah, there's the 979 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:54,000 Blair witch. There's all kinds of things that can get you. Yeah, 980 01:18:54,079 --> 01:18:59,039 bigfoot, Yeah, I mean probably not real, but who knows. And 981 01:18:59,399 --> 01:19:04,039 j Fed is excited that you're open to the uh uh uh i spath and 982 01:19:04,119 --> 01:19:09,399 he also says, ah, the beer and coyotes. Yeah, coyotes, 983 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,239 Yeah, you know, and then sometimes they're roaming around in a city. 984 01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,600 Yeah, very very scary.

She's going to be coming in. I was just just yesterday 1072 01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:16,920 I was watching her appearance on Bill Mars podcast Club Random, and I've seen 1073 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,880 her on some some other big shows too, so it's a pretty big deal 1074 01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:24,000 to have her here in studio with us. So I'm really looking forward to 1075 01:29:24,039 --> 01:29:28,199 meeting her with her and talking to her tomorrow. I think Jenny's coming in 1076 01:29:28,319 --> 01:29:31,680 for that too. She's very eager to meet Mary Ann Williamson. And then 1077 01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:35,520 in the second hour we'll have a musical guest well too. Actually, Cody 1078 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:40,640 Pope and Byron ge will be returning tomorrow, so we'll have a very busy 1079 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:44,760 show. Looking forward to that. But we have joining us here today in 1080 01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:48,239 studio the members of the band House Lights. We've got Sam at the news 1081 01:29:48,319 --> 01:29:53,159 desk and Matt with one T is on the couch. The reason that's so 1082 01:29:53,279 --> 01:29:56,239 interesting to me is when I was a kid, people would always ask me, 1083 01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,039 because my name's matt obviously, and they would say, is that with 1084 01:29:59,159 --> 01:30:00,880 one T or two? And I would always say too, And I'd be 1085 01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,720 thinking. I wouldn't say it out loud, because I'm unfailingly polite, but 1086 01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,840 I would be thinking, who spells it with one ta? You never see 1087 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:11,720 it with one tea? Uh? And then I think it was maybe ten 1088 01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:15,960 years ago I started seeing examples of matt with one T. I never saw 1089 01:30:16,039 --> 01:30:18,239 that when I was a kid, but it started to become a thing. 1090 01:30:18,399 --> 01:30:21,920 Yeah. Well, and I guess you know the reason my mom the I'm 1091 01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:27,119 named Matthew with one T is because my mom wanted people that call me Matthew. 1092 01:30:27,399 --> 01:30:30,239 Yeah, I guess that was the reasoning. And I guess I'm named 1093 01:30:30,239 --> 01:30:33,600 after Matthew of on Green and of Green Gables, which I've never even seen 1094 01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:38,479 it, but I'm named after that person. Oh but uh yeah. So 1095 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:43,279 the idea was, you know, call me Matthew not Matt obviously as time 1096 01:30:43,399 --> 01:30:46,359 goes on and people always call you Matt usually if your name is Matthew. 1097 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:50,920 So you know, my family generally calls me Matthew, but everyone else calls 1098 01:30:50,960 --> 01:30:57,560 me matt. Yeah. Yeah, it's so I assume Matthew is with one 1099 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,159 T. Yes, yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense because well 1100 01:31:00,159 --> 01:31:01,399 it's funny too because even when I was a kid, I would see Matthew 1101 01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:05,159 with one T sometimes but then but then it would always be Matt would always 1102 01:31:05,199 --> 01:31:10,760 be with two teas. I think the first I think when I was working 1103 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,079 at I used to work in a music store, and I think the first 1104 01:31:14,119 --> 01:31:16,079 time I ever remember seeing Matt with one T, I think it was Matt 1105 01:31:16,159 --> 01:31:19,960 Nathanson. I was putting away of Matt Nathanson CD and I think he spells 1106 01:31:20,039 --> 01:31:23,079 with one tea and I was like, oh, look, I'm Matt with 1107 01:31:23,159 --> 01:31:26,359 one ta. I'll be damned. And then but since then i've I've met 1108 01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:30,920 actually several so but not very many. Still still more rare. Yeah, 1109 01:31:32,039 --> 01:31:35,119 if you have any questions or feedback or anything at all for the band six 1110 01:31:35,199 --> 01:31:40,479 zo three two five zero six seven six three two five zero six zero seven. 1111 01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:44,319 These guys play an acoustic song earlier for us, And we just listened 1112 01:31:44,319 --> 01:31:47,600 to Love and Understanding, which is the first single from house Lights from the 1113 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:51,399 uh the upcoming album September one. It's out right Nmber one. What it 1114 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:56,039 means to feel? Yes, yes, looking forward to that. We have 1115 01:31:56,119 --> 01:32:00,239 a question in the chat room. Sonia Laramie said, as someone you know, 1116 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:04,680 that's my wife, well your wife, as a question, Matt love 1117 01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:10,279 the sound. Which bands have influenced the sound of your upcoming album? I 1118 01:32:10,359 --> 01:32:15,760 wonder I think she knows, but everyone else, Yeah, so definitely. 1119 01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:19,840 I mean the first like growing up, I mean, my mom had great 1120 01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:24,520 musical tastes, so like she would listen to Atlantis, Morrisette, led Zeppelin, 1121 01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:30,039 all these sort of classic rock bands and everything. Stevie Nicks like great 1122 01:32:30,119 --> 01:32:34,479 singers, great music. So that was kind of the first music I listened 1123 01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:38,680 to. And then the first music that really inspired me to play guitar was 1124 01:32:39,079 --> 01:32:42,560 Lincoln Park. Actually like when I remember I was like thirteen years old when 1125 01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:45,399 I heard One Step Closer in the radio and that streaming part that was like 1126 01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:49,279 shut up when I'm talking to you, like obviously like the angsty thirteen year 1127 01:32:49,319 --> 01:32:54,319 old and me was like, yeah, that's cool. I want to make 1128 01:32:54,399 --> 01:32:57,800 music like that and like expressed myself that way. So yeah, like Lincoln 1129 01:32:57,840 --> 01:33:00,560 Park a lot of new metal and then pop pongs, so like Blink one 1130 01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:05,800 A two uh def Tones brand new from like the kind of like the emo 1131 01:33:06,039 --> 01:33:11,680 like seeing style, so you know, all those sorts of bands that like 1132 01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:15,359 you would kind of hear on like any anyone that would play that Warped tour. 1133 01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,520 Basically it was the like my style music that I listened too. Yeah, 1134 01:33:17,600 --> 01:33:19,920 yeah, what about you, Sam? I mean you know, and 1135 01:33:20,159 --> 01:33:23,479 again that's why it kind of put the recently works so well together, as 1136 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:26,520 Matt and I do have a lot of the same musical influences. You know. 1137 01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:30,359 Definitely, Alexis on Fire has been a huge one for us. You 1138 01:33:30,399 --> 01:33:32,840 know, they're one of those bands that melds a lot of you know, 1139 01:33:33,119 --> 01:33:38,680 very harsh, aggressive sound, but also they can do the most beautiful you 1140 01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,159 know Ballady just you know, they got chimes and stuff in their music and 1141 01:33:42,279 --> 01:33:45,399 like they can take it right down and just you know, bathe you in 1142 01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:50,960 amazing sound, just something so tender and gentle. So they're a huge inspiration 1143 01:33:51,079 --> 01:33:55,840 for me. You know, bands like Tool Uh you know, I used 1144 01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:57,920 to I used to be in another metal band, so you know, all 1145 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:00,720 the all the kind of you know bands, they even seven fold that kind 1146 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:06,039 of stuff, you know. Uh, Yellow Card is a huge, huge 1147 01:34:06,079 --> 01:34:10,479 one for me, like one that I listened to quite a bit. Thursday. 1148 01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,640 Thursday again it's another huge one. That's where we got our name from. 1149 01:34:14,399 --> 01:34:16,359 Is uh so they they Yeah, they have like a live album called 1150 01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:24,039 Kill the House Lights and so okay and and and they're also coincidentally, there 1151 01:34:24,159 --> 01:34:28,399 is one of our One of the songs on the album is also a title 1152 01:34:28,600 --> 01:34:31,520 or the name of a Thursday album, really Full Collapse. It's the last 1153 01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:38,439 song on the album too, so oh okay, so loosely inspired just kind 1154 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:42,399 of coincidentally fell into place. Yeah, Yeah, definitely a big nod to 1155 01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:44,720 Thursday. They're They're amazing. I got to see them for the first time 1156 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,319 last year. You know, they've been they've been playing music forever. I 1157 01:34:47,359 --> 01:34:49,760 was gonna say, yeah, they've been around a while. They they sounded 1158 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:55,600 amazing. I was I was blown away. They sounded really good by the 1159 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,119 way, I'm Miriam banished in the chat room. She really likes that song, 1160 01:34:58,359 --> 01:35:01,640 loving understanding, she said, she enjoyed. Thank you. Can you 1161 01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:04,920 guys tell me a little bit about the production, I was commenting off air, 1162 01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:09,680 the production is really good. It's just, uh, what's your recording 1163 01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:15,840 process? Yeah, it's it's really you know. I'll the engineering is all 1164 01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:17,920 took place in my room. Basically, I get I have like what I 1165 01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:21,880 call the music room or the office in my house where you know, I 1166 01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,319 just opened up my computer. I've got some studio monitors. I've been an 1167 01:35:26,319 --> 01:35:30,399 audio interface. I just plug in. I record direct into logic from my 1168 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,000 guitars. So you know, I know a lot of people like, you 1169 01:35:33,039 --> 01:35:38,520 know, recording like amp, miking up an amp and getting like dialing a 1170 01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:42,439 tone that way. But I love the flexibility of like just recording direct input 1171 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:45,439 and then I can change the tone however I want later on. So that's 1172 01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:50,720 what I did for this album. I'll write like placeholder drums because I'm not 1173 01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:54,800 a drummer. I can you know, I know how drums should sound. 1174 01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:58,319 But I know that's the reason why we have a great drummer is I'll, 1175 01:35:58,399 --> 01:36:00,800 you know, I'll just write something placeholder and then I'll send it off to 1176 01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:03,000 him and be like, you do your thing on this that may influence or 1177 01:36:03,079 --> 01:36:06,640 change what I then do. So we do all the music first, and 1178 01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:11,840 then after the the main music has written and I'll do the guitar and the 1179 01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:14,800 bass, and then once I get the drums back, you know, Sam 1180 01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,079 and I will look at it and explore melodies and and such. It's it's 1181 01:36:17,159 --> 01:36:21,119 you know, i'd say ninety percent Sam, But when he comes over to 1182 01:36:21,239 --> 01:36:25,720 record. We also did the vocals in my house for this. I'm just 1183 01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:29,600 using you know, a pretty standard mic, like a one hundred dollars microphone. 1184 01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:31,399 And that's why I love about music these days too, is like you 1185 01:36:31,479 --> 01:36:35,279 can make something that sounds so good for so cheap. Yeah, true, 1186 01:36:35,479 --> 01:36:40,039 and pretty much anyone can do it. Yeah, he'll come over and we'll 1187 01:36:40,119 --> 01:36:44,359 work on melodies, we'll explore different ideas and you know, record it down 1188 01:36:44,399 --> 01:36:46,319 there. And like I said, we sent it off to to this guy 1189 01:36:46,399 --> 01:36:50,880 in Argentina that did a great job mixing it altogether. Yeah, we we 1190 01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:55,680 had talked last time Sam about that that website what does it call the a 1191 01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:58,880 Soundbetter dot Com? Yeah, yeah, I hadn't even heard of it, 1192 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:00,880 and I thought, wow, what great Uh, what a great concept. 1193 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,000 Yeah, it's it's pretty amazing that, you know that we live in an 1194 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,439 era where you can do you know, you can do place solder drums and 1195 01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,079 then you send it to the drummer and then the drummer yea, yeah, 1196 01:37:12,159 --> 01:37:15,359 I mean it's it's just it's really incredible. Yeah, and then it's it's 1197 01:37:15,399 --> 01:37:18,920 just, uh, it sounds really good. Is the whole album recorded with 1198 01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:24,319 that same process? Or yeah? Yeah, absolutely, yeah now and again 1199 01:37:24,359 --> 01:37:28,560 until what same was saying later earlier. We we did a bunch of other 1200 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:30,079 songs too as well. So we've got stuff, you know, sitting in 1201 01:37:30,119 --> 01:37:33,159 the pipeline that's ready to go, because I think that's one thing, you 1202 01:37:33,199 --> 01:37:38,840 know, we've definitely realized about the music industry is that most people aren't releasing 1203 01:37:39,039 --> 01:37:42,479 footfall length albums or that's not how they're getting their start. But so it's 1204 01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:45,119 a bit on unorthodox. You know. Obviously we've been releasing singles and that's 1205 01:37:45,199 --> 01:37:48,000 kind of been helping, but we have stuff playing for after this too. 1206 01:37:48,039 --> 01:37:51,159 As well, So we're gonna continue releasing music, and you know that's kind 1207 01:37:51,199 --> 01:37:55,920 of how you slowly but steadily build a fan base. Oh yeah, yeah, 1208 01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:58,800 you know, we live in an era when you've got so many different 1209 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:03,319 options as far as how you want to do that. And Chris h is 1210 01:38:03,359 --> 01:38:08,039 in the chat room from the band edgewise, he says offending drummers daily. 1211 01:38:11,359 --> 01:38:15,439 Yeah, it's funny. I mean, you guys probably never imagined how could 1212 01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:17,239 you that, Like when you were in in the other band and you go 1213 01:38:17,319 --> 01:38:20,479 to Florida with that horrible recording experience, It probably didn't occur to you. 1214 01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:25,439 Now someday we'll just be able to do this ourselves, right well, and 1215 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,720 you know again, not you know, not fully doing ourselves, you know, 1216 01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:30,479 but bringing in the right people. Well yeah, building building a good 1217 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:34,000 enough foundation to get to that point, because you know, if you just 1218 01:38:34,119 --> 01:38:39,279 have a bunch of sound doesn't mean you're ready for an album, right right. 1219 01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:43,399 That's the thing with Matt is that I've always tied into his music because 1220 01:38:43,439 --> 01:38:45,880 he finds a way to it's not just a guitar riff. It's not just 1221 01:38:46,279 --> 01:38:53,359 everything that he writes has a feeling behind it that resonates with me very emotionally, 1222 01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,520 and like I'll listen to twenty seconds of something he's played and I'll immediately 1223 01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:00,600 have melodies in my head. Oh no, I'll immediately have like an idea 1224 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:02,119 for the theme of the song. Okay, you know, based off of 1225 01:39:02,159 --> 01:39:05,840 that emotion. Yeah, so you know, keep a good thing going. 1226 01:39:06,119 --> 01:39:10,399 Yeah. Yeah, And uh, Matt, can you tell me about that 1227 01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:14,560 guitar. That guitar sounds really good. Yeah. It's it's a brand named 1228 01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,159 orange Wood. They're online only. They're out of Los Angeles. Yeah, 1229 01:39:18,199 --> 01:39:25,199 it's it's a Mahogany would and it sounds great, you know they I definitely 1230 01:39:25,239 --> 01:39:28,920 took a chance on it because, uh, they only sell online, so 1231 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:30,760 I didn't have a chance to try one beforehand. Yeah, but you know, 1232 01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,159 it was highly reviewed. I watched some YouTube reviews of it and sounded 1233 01:39:34,239 --> 01:39:36,239 great there, so I figured out give it a shot, and yeah, 1234 01:39:36,279 --> 01:39:39,960 I love it. Yeah, yeah, excellent. No, it sounds really 1235 01:39:40,039 --> 01:39:43,239 good. And oh Sam, we had talked to last time you were here 1236 01:39:43,279 --> 01:39:49,439 about vocals and you were what what was it You said you were learning how 1237 01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:54,920 to how to do the the yelling and the growling. Yeah, it was 1238 01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:59,279 getting getting my screams back essentially, Yeah, yeah, I had done you 1239 01:39:59,319 --> 01:40:02,000 know, sort of developed screaming on my own back and horns become halos. 1240 01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:06,560 You know. I ended up being kind of like the primary person doing that 1241 01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:12,399 towards the end of our you know band when we were playing. But I 1242 01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:17,039 hadn't done it at all in the twelve years that we ten really ten ish 1243 01:40:17,119 --> 01:40:19,920 years that we had been broken up before we started working on the new project. 1244 01:40:20,079 --> 01:40:25,039 Yea, And this was an opportunity. So I started working with a 1245 01:40:25,119 --> 01:40:30,279 vocal a clean vocal instructor last year, and then evolved into also working with 1246 01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:34,399 a extreme vocal coach this year because I I want to be as versatile as 1247 01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:39,319 I can. You know, the more vocalists we can have is kind of 1248 01:40:39,359 --> 01:40:43,079 my ideal band is is, you know, three or four different singers would 1249 01:40:43,119 --> 01:40:45,760 be great to have all the harmonies, to be able to do as much 1250 01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:48,239 as stuff live possible as we can. Obviously, we do put a lot 1251 01:40:48,279 --> 01:40:51,399 of production into the songs. We like a lot of harmonies and you know, 1252 01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:57,960 kind of backing vocals yea. But it's been cool to see that a 1253 01:40:58,039 --> 01:41:01,800 lot of the stuff I've worked with my amazing extreme vocal coach Kyle Farr's in 1254 01:41:01,840 --> 01:41:04,960 band Late Nine. Shout out, dude's amazing. He just guests spotted for 1255 01:41:05,039 --> 01:41:10,960 Emotionless and White this past weekend him Gilford. Oh dude, he was amazing. 1256 01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,600 He killed it. But working with him a lot of the stuff I've 1257 01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:17,279 learned as far as like mouth and throat positioning and like the way that the 1258 01:41:17,359 --> 01:41:21,680 muscles interact is also helped my clean vocals. Really, I feel like like 1259 01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:26,640 my falsetto, my high notes are way more crisp and easy to get to 1260 01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:30,399 based on like, you know, kind of breaking down what's going on in 1261 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:35,000 the vocal tract. So they've both been amazing. Katie Galls my clean vocal 1262 01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:39,239 instructors the New Market shout out to her as well. Uh, I wouldn't 1263 01:41:39,239 --> 01:41:42,720 be where I am without both of them. You know. I'm the best 1264 01:41:43,119 --> 01:41:45,000 that I've ever been and I'm only you know, trying to get better, 1265 01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:49,119 you know, so we're not messing around with this stuff. Where ready to 1266 01:41:49,199 --> 01:41:54,119 go? Yeah? Yeah? So you continue to go to both vocal coaches? 1267 01:41:54,199 --> 01:41:57,239 Yes, wow, yep, So I go to them regularly. Yeah, 1268 01:41:57,479 --> 01:41:59,880 you know, to just keep keep me honest, you know, keep 1269 01:42:00,159 --> 01:42:02,720 on my game, you know, trying new things. You know, Hey, 1270 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:06,920 I heard this the other day. I mean extreme vocals in particular right 1271 01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:13,840 now are are just it's a vic quickly emerging landscape. You know, there's 1272 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,600 a new new thing called the chortal that has been invented, you know, 1273 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:20,479 in screaming, and there's there's a lot of different avenues and styles you can 1274 01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:25,880 go down and sounds that can be made. You know, it's really uh, 1275 01:42:27,039 --> 01:42:30,520 you know, people are experimenting very heavily in it right now. Yeah, 1276 01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:35,399 it's really cool to see. Did you ever before you saw an extreme 1277 01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:42,119 vocal coach? Did you ever like hurt yourself doing that? Didn't hurt myself? 1278 01:42:42,279 --> 01:42:46,279 No, maybe luckily that I didn't. You know, just I I 1279 01:42:47,199 --> 01:42:50,239 heard the sounds and one of the ways that I had always learned, you 1280 01:42:50,279 --> 01:42:54,840 know, kind of taught myself how to saying was just by hearing other people's 1281 01:42:54,880 --> 01:42:58,680 voices and trying to mimic those sounds. And that was my my first experience. 1282 01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:01,960 So, you know, just kind kind of went for it day at 1283 01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:06,439 band practice. It's funny there's this band, this kind of like post rock 1284 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:11,960 metal band called Giant that I cannot find their music. If you have any 1285 01:43:12,239 --> 01:43:15,239 Matt, you need to It's like there was a brief time when we first 1286 01:43:15,239 --> 01:43:18,640 started practicing when we were younger that they were like we would listen to him 1287 01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:23,119 at practice and stuff. I feel like they were one of the first bands 1288 01:43:23,199 --> 01:43:26,039 that I I emulated. The Screams too, yeah, because it's you know, 1289 01:43:26,159 --> 01:43:30,399 kind of long drawn out that you could just one note at a time 1290 01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:32,239 and you could really you know, get a sense of the feel. And 1291 01:43:32,359 --> 01:43:36,079 so that's kind of how I learned and evolved when I was younger, and 1292 01:43:36,159 --> 01:43:41,680 it was definitely a more kind of raw, you know, mixed vocal sound 1293 01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:45,479 where there was a little bit of my voice behind it that I didn't even 1294 01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:46,760 know what I was doing. So, you know, one of the things 1295 01:43:46,760 --> 01:43:50,279 I've worked on with Kyle is kind of walking that back, learning the fundamentals, 1296 01:43:50,319 --> 01:43:54,600 but then rebuilding, bringing that voice back in to try to get you 1297 01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:58,119 know, somewhat of that sound again. Yeah, you know, so the 1298 01:43:58,239 --> 01:44:01,560 voice can do amazing things. Yeah, it's pretty wild once you start breaking 1299 01:44:01,560 --> 01:44:04,439 it down and you see how everything works together. Oh yeah, yeah, 1300 01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:08,159 that's that's kind of how I came by it. I just started doing it, 1301 01:44:09,079 --> 01:44:12,359 yeah, because I remember we talked to before about how one of the 1302 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:15,000 things that's really important if you're going to do that's just learning how to do 1303 01:44:15,079 --> 01:44:18,800 it safely so you don't hurt yourself because some people do. Yeah, we've 1304 01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:23,840 seen so many great screamers lose the ability to do it over time. Uh 1305 01:44:24,119 --> 01:44:28,520 you know, Uh, Chino from Deft Tones and all has, you know, 1306 01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:32,239 lost his voice and then went through you know, revocal coaching and you 1307 01:44:32,319 --> 01:44:36,239 know built it back up. So yeah, it's it's difficult to do properly, 1308 01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:41,600 Yeah, because it's not consider I think there's kind of like, you 1309 01:44:41,680 --> 01:44:45,399 know, a little bit of taboo to it, you know, because it's 1310 01:44:45,520 --> 01:44:47,439 it's it's not conventional. A lot of people don't do it. A lot 1311 01:44:47,479 --> 01:44:51,399 of people don't know how to how to properly scream. Yeah, yeah, 1312 01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:58,960 exactly. Now. Uh, the so the new album, so that's that's 1313 01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:02,800 coming out September first, and then do you guys do you guys have any 1314 01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:08,479 kind of a timetable as because you mentioned that you've already got more songs sort 1315 01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:12,199 of ready to go. I mean, are you gonna do you have a 1316 01:45:12,319 --> 01:45:15,800 long term plan as far as how it's uh space it out. I think 1317 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:19,039 it's important to like find the right spacing where you don't want to you know, 1318 01:45:19,159 --> 01:45:21,760 lose your audience and you want to you know, keep a study momentum 1319 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:25,439 going. Yeah. So you know, I've kind of always looked at as 1320 01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:30,880 like, I think we the speed at which we can produce music is pretty 1321 01:45:30,039 --> 01:45:33,560 quick nowadays with with all the technology and everything, and so, I you 1322 01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:38,560 know, I my goal would be to maybe release a single every month or 1323 01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,439 so, you know, even after the album comes out. I think it's 1324 01:45:41,479 --> 01:45:45,039 easily doable, whether that be you know, things we can experiment with two 1325 01:45:45,159 --> 01:45:46,600 you know, one one month that might be a cover, might be an 1326 01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:50,520 original song, something like that. Yeah, do you guys do any do 1327 01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:56,800 you guys know any covers they you've played together. We haven't done anything officially. 1328 01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:00,479 We actually just start working on potentially a cover that we might be you 1329 01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:03,760 know, releasing later on. Yeah, I think we want to try to 1330 01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:10,720 find like the right the right song to cover. It's you know, whether 1331 01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,399 that be something that is brand new, recent in a totally different genre that 1332 01:46:14,479 --> 01:46:16,720 we want to put you know, our spin our style onto, or take 1333 01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:20,800 something that's you know, a much older song from some like maybe Kiss or 1334 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:25,359 The Who or Aerosmith or something you know, uh, some classic rock band 1335 01:46:25,399 --> 01:46:28,479 and and put a modern you know spin on it too. Yeah. Yeah, 1336 01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:31,880 very cool, very cool. Now, what's the So you guys don't 1337 01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,439 have any you don't have any shows coming up, right, because you're still 1338 01:46:34,520 --> 01:46:39,319 kind of putting the band together. But you said, uh, Sam, 1339 01:46:39,399 --> 01:46:43,319 I think you said like end of fall. You're I would like to be 1340 01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:45,000 playing shows by end of fall, and that's all I mean, that's a 1341 01:46:45,159 --> 01:46:48,199 very loose timetable. Yeah, you know, you know how hard it is 1342 01:46:48,239 --> 01:46:54,079 to wrangle band members oh absolutely together. So you know we're going to be 1343 01:46:54,159 --> 01:46:57,000 doing as as much as we can to try to you know, get ready 1344 01:46:57,039 --> 01:47:00,640 in time for that. But you know, we'll see if we get there. 1345 01:47:00,199 --> 01:47:02,199 Uh, we want to do it right too, you know, like 1346 01:47:03,079 --> 01:47:06,520 we don't want to go out there and you know, you know, be 1347 01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:11,159 a colossal failure. Like we want to make sure like we we're really tight 1348 01:47:11,279 --> 01:47:14,159 and we we give the audience what they deserve. Yeah, we're not looking 1349 01:47:14,399 --> 01:47:16,600 to you know, jump on and do any like you know, twelve minute 1350 01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:21,439 sets and that's all we got, right, that's twenty just talking. We 1351 01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:24,880 want to we want to come ready with a good you know, at least 1352 01:47:24,960 --> 01:47:29,800 twenty five thirty minutes set that we can play start to finish. That's gonna 1353 01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:32,560 give people, uh, the experience of the album. You know, that's 1354 01:47:32,800 --> 01:47:36,560 it's intended to be heard and played. Obviously will be some variation for for 1355 01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:40,199 live shows, but yeah, you know, we want to be able to 1356 01:47:40,279 --> 01:47:43,640 back up the production that we have and the quality of the music. So 1357 01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:48,119 Adam boss and the chat dam Bossie. That's our drub. That's not our 1358 01:47:48,159 --> 01:47:54,720 drummer. We know him, we all way back.

I think okay, he might have briefly been in Hornse Become Haloes 1366 01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:21,199 for a few moments. Oh yeah, we had a couple of lineup changes. 1367 01:48:21,279 --> 01:48:25,880 But yeah yeah, and we went to high school together. So oh, 1368 01:48:26,119 --> 01:48:29,039 very nice, very nice.
