Yes, yes, Jay Fed says in

17
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040
the chat room, Geez, Matt, it's only been a couple of weeks.

18
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,799
I know. I'm so you know, with the what channel we're on

19
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:04,079
on Comcast, I've heard you do
it right yet, No, I definitely

20
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,040
have. I had a good street
going. But then I just I go

21
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,360
on autopilot and I'm so used to
because I can say it. I can

22
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,560
do the whole spiel the way I've
been doing it without even thinking about it.

23
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,080
I mean literally without even thinking about
it. The problem is, if

24
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,479
I'm not thinking about it, I
get it wrong. Yep, yep,

25
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,879
yep, like anything, I suppose. We've got an exciting got an exciting

26
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,039
show for you today. Genius here
and coming up in the second hour the

27
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:36,800
band Marvel Prone we'll be here with
us live in studio. Now, they've

28
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,360
been on the show before for an
interview, but this will be the first

29
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,199
time that they're joining us live in
studio. So I'm sorry, the first

30
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:46,560
time they're gonna be playing for us
live in studio. I should say they

31
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,599
were here live in studio before,
but they're gonna actually play for us today

32
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:53,360
in the second hour, So really
looking forward to that. Also, quick

33
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,400
programming note, we do not have
the weekly segment that we do with my

34
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:01,680
favorite conservative Eric Pilcher. He had
a bit of a scheduling conflict and once

35
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,960
again it's not able to be here
this week, and we couldn't bring him

36
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,159
on in the second hour because we
have a musical guest already, so we

37
00:03:07,199 --> 00:03:12,840
will have to forego that. But
that reminds me he's my favorite conservative.

38
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:16,039
Two oh, very good, very
good. And uh and he does the

39
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,719
classic film reviews. I mean,
come on, bonus. Now, that's

40
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,520
a that's a prerecorded segment, so
we'll definitely have that for Friday. And

41
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,680
they're awesome, They're always awesome.
Yes, yes, but Jenny is here,

42
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680
and of course we do have Marvel
Prone coming up tomorrow on the show.

00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,039

00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,439

00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,839
week that you've had a chance to
catch the show, if you notice some

79
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:43,879
new theme music, that is the
uh the brand new mister B I believe

80
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,480
is his name, the producer for
Jerry Robinson and the Scumbags. He well,

81
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,160
I should know that I'm the bass
player. Yes, it's mister b

82
00:05:50,040 --> 00:06:00,040
Yeah. Yeah, he uh remixed
the Commander's theme from the album Scum of

83
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,120
the Earth Uh and uh made a
shorter version of it for my intro music

84
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:08,319
for the show, and I had
absolutely love it. It's awesome. Absolutely,

85
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:13,399
the entire album is awesome. But
to have that's that snippet or or

86
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,639
or would it be a riff snippet? It's a it's a riff. It's

87
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,800
a riff. Okay, to have
that riff cemented to Matt Connaughton unleashed,

88
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:27,079
I mean to have them married together. Oh, I mean, where are

89
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:32,079
you gonna go? You have the
greatest musician to ever live. Oh,

90
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:38,439
he truly is Jerry and the Scumbags. Yes, and I and I didn't

91
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:42,439
know either that this beginning part was
a surprise. I had no idea that

92
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,480
he was going to add this.
You are listening, Tom, and that's

93
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,759
pretty cool. That's awesome, that's
really awesome. That's definitely really awesome.

00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:56,560
Yes. Well, let's uh well

the great state of Vermont. Carol
Zawarrowitz says Hello, Hello, Carol.

101
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,439
Mike from Queen City Cabinetry is in
the Facebook live chat. Queen City Cabinetry.

102
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,199
One of our great sponsors here at
WMNH, Dylan Reynolds, speaking of

103
00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:34,399
very talented musicians, is in the
Facebook live chat. Hello Dylan, and

104
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,319
Dylan says, I need to send
you some of my songs. Yes,

105
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:44,040
absolutely, by all means, please
please do Oh and I see Chris Rose

106
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:46,800
from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has also
joined us on Facebook. And if anybody's

107
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360
in there who I didn't say hello
too, it's because I just can't see

108
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,600
you for whatever reason. Sometimes I
go back and I look afterward and there's

109
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:58,439
people who were in there that I
can see later they clicked like on the

110
00:07:58,439 --> 00:08:01,040
show or whatnot, but I couldn't
see them in real time because Facebook is

111
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,160
uh, well Facebook is Facebook,
But do you want for free? It's

112
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,199
not just you? Because I was
in the car with Miriam yesterday. Yeah,

113
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,399
she was saying the same thing that
you'll say something and she can't see

114
00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:15,480
what you're reading. Oh, she
can't see the comment that I'm reading,

115
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,839
the comment that you're reading. Yeah, it's just it's wonky. Well it's

116
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,480
free, so yeah, Well it's
like I've talked about on the show too.

117
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,160
You know, I bring in my
own computer here that I plug in,

118
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:26,680
and I have Facebook open on this
computer, but it's also opened on

119
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,000
this big monitor, and sometimes I'll
see certain people and certain comments on one

120
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,200
screen but not the other. It's
it's odd, but the ghost in the

121
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,799
machine, but it's it's Facebook or
maybe you know. One of the theories

122
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:45,440
election deniers believe is that the ghost
of Hugo Chavez was in some of those

123
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:50,039
voting machines. Maybe the ghost of
Hugo Chavez is uh in these machines here.

124
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:56,159
Who knows? Who knows? We're
gonna need it. You can say

125
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,480
that and mean it is true.
Well, yeah, that's the thing.

126
00:08:58,519 --> 00:09:03,360
I'm not even the thing. I'm
not even exaggerating. It's not satire,

127
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,399
it's not parody. I'm not being
hyperbolic. There's people who really believe that

128
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,799
you know and this is here is
in part what's wrong with the society that

129
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,080
we are living in now? Well, yeah, saying is just a little

130
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:18,799
six three two five six seven.
If you'd like to join us six zo

to mention there was something about Medicare

146
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:26,720
advantage. Oh yes, absolutely,
yes. So, as you may or

147
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,320
may not know, open enrollment is
coming up here in October, and this

148
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,840
is the period of time when if
you are on a Medicare advantage plan,

149
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,679
you can look at different plans and
decide on which one you're going to get

150
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,039
stuck with. I'm sorry, which
one you're going to have If you are

151
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,120
not on a Medicare advantage plan,
this is when they're going to come at

152
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:48,519
you and try and talk you into
dumping traditional Medicare for Medicare advantage. If

153
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:50,720
you've heard me speak about it,
you know I highly, highly, just

154
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:54,840
my personal opinion, recommend that you
do not do that to yourself, with

155
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:58,000
the heck that I have gone through
with my Medicare advantage policy. Let's face

156
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,720
it, they're just trying to us
it's all to die off by delaying and

157
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:05,720
denying care. But that's a bigger
topic. What I need from you,

158
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,399
guys, is those advertisements. They're
gonna mail them to you. You're gonna

159
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,080
see you might see a video on
the TV. If you want to snap

160
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,879
a video for me, take a
picture something comes in the mail, take

161
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:18,559
a picture of it and send that
to me. I really want to take

162
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,320
a look at this advertisement that's going
on. And I'm doing this as part

163
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,240
of a larger project with the Be
a Hero organization. You guys might remember

164
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,200
I was invited to speak on Capitol
Hill with Be a Hero. They're an

165
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,159
amazing organization fighting for healthcare for all
of us and for home care home care

166
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:41,080
services which are vital to have in
our communities. So this information we need

167
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,559
to gather it for a number of
reasons, in part because there are some

168
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,200
new laws that are supposed to help
product consumers from being tricked. But we

169
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,879
all know how the game is played, and they'll try and talk you into

170
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,279
switching. One of the ones that
used for me was you'll get a free

171
00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:00,799
pair of glasses. I did not
get a free pair of glasses. They

172
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:03,799
paid for the frame, but when
it came to the lenses, they were

173
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,039
only going to pay for them if
they were a beginner. Like children's version,

174
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,840
the least amount the first level lens, like nothing greater than that.

175
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:16,960
It's not even like it's amount of
money that you can use towards. It's

176
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,000
like you have to use that grade
of a lens, which is not good

177
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,200
for most people. They're meant for
beginner things. They're not meant to be

178
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:28,559
forever. So these different sales tactics
that they use, I'd really want to

179
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,559
see those advertisements. I'm going to
try and help filter them to be a

180
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:35,720
hero. And no matter where you
are you're hearing my voice, you're living

181
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,480
in the continents, or excuse me, you're living in the United States and

182
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,799
you are looking at Medicare open enrollment
coming up, Please be aware of that

183
00:12:43,879 --> 00:12:46,320
as well and send those to me. We do want to make sure that

184
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,120
we're protecting people, and I personally
don't believe that some of these advertisements aren't

185
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:52,840
going to be trying to trick people, and we need to be aware.

186
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,399
We need to gather that evidence.
Isn't there a regulation now too that they're

187
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,519
not allowed to well, what changed
with that? They're not supposed to look

188
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:07,360
like they're because they trick people by
looking like they're officially part of the Medicare

189
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:11,279
yeah plan itself, right, probably, yes, I mean there is supposed

190
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,000
to be new law that is going
into a fact that or that is in

191
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,919
effect, I should say they're supposed
to be law that prohibits them from trying

192
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:24,360
to sell it to you as if
it is Medicare as if it is from

193
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,399
Medicare, because it is not.
It is a private for profit insurance company.

194
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,080
That is what Medicare advantage is.
All of Medicare advantage is private for

195
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:39,960
profit insurance companies. None of them
are run by Medicare. Big difference there,

196
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,679
But I know there's a bigger push. There's bills that have been introduced

197
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,200
to try and fix it so they
can't use the word medicare anymore because it

198
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,600
does trick people into thinking it.
And one of the sales tactics they'll use

199
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,679
is, oh, you're covered for
everything that Medicare covers. Well, we

200
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:00,080
all know that's not true. We've
all heard the stories and I've brought you

201
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,600
folks plenty of them, and it's
you throw it in the search engine,

202
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,960
you'll get hit with a ton of
people who can't get access to the care

203
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,759
that if they had had Medicare,
they would have gotten access to it once

204
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:13,440
a doctor showed medical necessity. See, that's a difference. That's a big

205
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,559
difference between medicare, and these private
for profit companies they deny you and you

206
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,960
have to fill out you know,
you have to fill out an appeal and

207
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,600
they get you have thirty days to
do that, and then they've got thirty

208
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:28,679
to sixty days to even make up
their mind. Now you're two three months

209
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,600
out, still haven't gotten the care
that you need. This is not medicare.

210
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:37,759
This is what private for profit insurance
companies are doing. And they're making

211
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:45,120
millions of dollars off of collecting our
premiums and pocketing them instead of using them

212
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,279
to provide the care that they promised
to do. So, yes, there

213
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,240
is some law in regards to that, but they're still allowed to use that

214
00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:56,240
word medicare, and it's really important
that people understand that it is not medicare.

215
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,879
Advantage is not medicare. Right,
So this is part of what we're

216
00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:03,159
fighting and we need all the help
that we can get. The more people

217
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,159
involved in speaking to their elected officials, the better you are. Congress critters,

218
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,879
your senators, they are up there, they are voting on these bills.

219
00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:13,080
They need to hear from you.
All right, very good, very

220
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,120
good, by the way, Melanie
law Liberty in the Facebook Live chat says

221
00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:22,399
you are already my hero Jenny,
and then she said you and Leatherface my

222
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,200
heroes Weatherface. I don't know how
we feel about big of that category,

223
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,240
like it's it's not very I don't
know, it's not very flattering. Really

224
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,159
well, you know. Miriam Banishad
joins us in the chat and says,

225
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,159
I had a family member who got
tricked and it was annoying to fix it

226
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,279
and we had to act super fast
people likely to be able to fix it.

227
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Actually, and what Miriam's referring to
is there are companies out there and

228
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,279
they're going to pick up the pace
real quick. Now that when once open

229
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,879
enrollment happens, which I believe is
October fifteenth, if I'm not mistaken,

230
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360
they will start calling you trying to
sell you Medicare advantage over the phone.

231
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,720
It's legal for them to call you
and try and do that, but these

232
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:11,360
are salesmen. They are using sales
tactics to talk you into it. And

233
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:17,120
if you have a loved one who's
on Medicare and you help make their decisions,

234
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,639
they could be tricked into saying yes
and take themselves off in Medicare without

235
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:23,639
you even realizing it. You won't
even know until something comes into the mail

236
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:30,799
saying welcome to Medicare advantage X.
And you thought your grandmother, your child,

237
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:37,000
your mom was on traditional medicare,
but they got tricked with that phone

238
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:40,679
call. And if you do have
relatives like you know that you are concerned

239
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:42,879
about, have conversations with them,
tell them to collect the data, sit

240
00:16:42,919 --> 00:16:45,200
down, Offer to sit down with
them and go over it with them.

241
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,159
But I very strongly encourage you to
encourage them to not give a yes over

242
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,120
the phone without having concrete materials and
their faces that they can see. Very

243
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,440
good, very good. By the
way, we have somebody new in the

244
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:03,400
Facebook live chat V Altran, who
who I have a strong suspicion is from

245
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:11,759
Greensboro, North Carolina. V Altran
says, good after or maybe it's it

246
00:17:11,799 --> 00:17:15,000
could be the room Roman numeral,
it might be five Altran. You might

247
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:19,400
be making assumption I might be,
So we'll go with V Altran says,

248
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,000
good afternoon, noon. Hashtag Matt
and hashtag Jen. We are a pop

249
00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:32,200
singing group quartet V Altran, V
Altran from US. We say our names

250
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,960
twice. We do. Apparently apparently
VA Ultran also says, we say,

251
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:41,799
awesome, hashtag Jen from us.
We are from Greensboro, North Carolina.

252
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,960
Hashtag Matt and hashtag Jen and we
sing and dance. Well, now,

253
00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:49,680
wow, that's impressive. Are they
trying to get on the show? I

254
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,880
don't know. I feel like that's
all they do in Greensboro, North Carolina

255
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,359
as they sing and dance. A
lot of that going on there, very

256
00:17:56,599 --> 00:18:03,119
creative place, singing in answering and
hashtags, lots of hashtags. Yes,

257
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,720
you're starting to have a little difficulty
with those hashtags there, dear. I

258
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:11,839
guess six three two five six seven
is a studio line. If you'd like

259
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,880
to join us A six three two
five O six zero seven. And if

260
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,720
you are just joining us, if
you don't know, we do have a

261
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,640
great musical guest coming up in the
second hour, Marvel Prone. We'll be

262
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:25,240
here with us live and they're going
to perform live for us in the second

263
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,160
hour. I wanted to get your
opinion on this because you, of course,

264
00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:32,440
used to be a New Hampshire State
legislator. Yep, so you have

265
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:37,279
served in a body of legislation.
This is going on in the Senate,

266
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,440
not the New Hampshire Senate, but
the United States Senate, and this will

267
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,680
kind of get us caught up on
it. The ap reporting Senate ditch's dress

268
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:51,279
code as Fetterman and others choose casual
clothes. It says here the stuff he

269
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,640
Senate is now a bit less formal. Majority Leader truck Schumer said Monday.

270
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,039
That's staff for the Chambers. Sergeant
at arms, the Senate's official clothes police,

271
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,480
will no longer enforce a dress code
on the Senate floor. The changes.

272
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:11,799
The change comes after Pennsylvania Senator John
Fetterman has been unapologetically wearing shorts as

273
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,759
he goes about his duties, voting
from doorways so he doesn't get in trouble

274
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:19,759
for his more casual attire. Schumer
said in a statement quote, there has

275
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:25,400
been an informal dress code that was
enforced. Senators are able to choose what

276
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:27,759
they wear on the Senate floor.
I will continue to wear a suit.

277
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,400
Schumer did not mention Fetterman in a
statement about the dress code, which will

278
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,519
only apply to senators, not staff. The changes prompted outrage from some of

279
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,880
the chambers more formal members, eroding
a bit of the goodwill that first term

280
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:45,960
Fetterman had earned earlier. This year
when he checked himself into the hospital for

281
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:51,640
clinical depression. He won by partisan
praise for being honest about his diagnosis,

282
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,279
which came in the wake of a
stroke he suffered on the campaign trail last

283
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,559
year. When he returned from treatment, he started donning the more casual clothes,

284
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:03,279
which he says make him more comfortable. Kansas Senator Roger Marshall, or

285
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:07,680
Republican, said it's a sad day
in the Senate and that people who Fetterman

286
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:12,799
and Schumer represent should be embarrassed.
Marshall said, quote, I represent the

287
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,319
people of Kansas, and much like
when I get dressed up to go to

288
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,480
a wedding, it's to honor the
bride and groom. You go to a

289
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,920
funeral, you get dressed up to
honor the family of the deceased unquote.

290
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:29,680
Senators should have a certain level of
decorum, he added. Republican Senator Susan

291
00:20:29,759 --> 00:20:34,119
Collins of Maine agreed, arguing that
the relaxed rules debase the institution of the

292
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,559
Senate. She joked, quote,
I plan to wear a bikini tomorrow to

293
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:47,799
the Senate floor. Unquote. Wow, Susan Collins vava voom dang on that

294
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,160
microphone walking to Monday's evenings vote in
a short sleeve, button down shirt and

295
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,599
shorts. Fetterman said he wasn't sure
if he'd take advantage of the new rules

296
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,119
just yet. He said, quote, it's nice to have the option,

297
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,240
but I'm going to plan to be
using it sparingly and not really over using

298
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:07,480
it. Uh, they're freaking out. I don't understand it, Like,

299
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,480
aren't there more important things that we
should be working on right now instead of

300
00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:15,000
you know that I might be dressing
like a slab unquote. When Fetterman reached

301
00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:18,240
the Senate floor, he still voted
from the doorway baby steps. He told

302
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:23,119
reporters. Not all Republicans were upset
about the change. Missouri Senator Josh Holly.

303
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,759
We all know him from fist stop
pump fame on the day of January

304
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:33,839
sixth, Oh, the one that
went running who went running away? You

305
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:41,359
know, from the tourist event.
Yes, Missouri Senator Josh Holly was wearing

306
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,079
jeans, boots, and no tie
on Monday evening, an outfit he says

307
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,960
he normally wears when the flies when
he flies in from his home state for

308
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:53,400
the first votes of the week.
Uh. Quote, now I can vote

309
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,880
from the Senate floor on Monday's unquote, he said, noting usually wears a

310
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:07,000
suit and tie every other day.
Nearby Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy was also tieless.

311
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,079
The Democrat says he's been reprimanded by
the sergeant at arms in the past

312
00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:15,599
for not wearing a tie on the
floor. Let me skip down a little

313
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,920
bit. So for Fetterman, his
signature hoodies and jim shorts were a sign

314
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,559
of his recovery. Before he checked
himself into the hospital, his staff had

315
00:22:22,559 --> 00:22:26,160
asked him to always wear suits,
which he famously hates, but after a

316
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,839
check with the Senate Parliamentarian upon his
return in April, it became clear that

317
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:36,079
he could continue to wear continue wearing
the casual clothes that were often his uniform

318
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,000
back at home in Pennsylvania, as
long as he didn't walk onto the Senate

319
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:45,400
floor. He still wears suits to
committee meetings when they are required. Okay,

320
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:48,720
Well, that's that's the bulk of
it. And by the way,

321
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:53,559
for anyone who doesn't know John Fetterman, I don't know his exact height and

322
00:22:53,680 --> 00:23:00,799
weight, but he's a very large
man, so it's probably very difficult for

323
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,000
him to find suits that fits unless
he goes to, uh, what is

324
00:23:04,039 --> 00:23:07,559
it? What's the place there?
You're gonna like the way you look?

325
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,599
Always like those commercials big and tall, No, no casual mail, Nah

326
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,480
suits are us No? No,
I don't know. But the guy at

327
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,680
the end would always say, you're
gonna like the way you look anyway.

328
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,559
It's probab Fediment is six eight.
He's six eight. That's a big,

329
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:29,079
big man. So it's probably very
difficult for him, even even before his

330
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,400
recovery, which is probably why even
when campaigning for that Senate seat, it

331
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:37,799
became normal to see him in hoodies
and shorts, because it's just difficult for

332
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,920
him to wear normal people's clothes because
he's clearly not a normal person. Hendy

333
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,119
find the short short he's six foot
eight. Well, I'm sure it's easier

334
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,480
to find hoodies and shorts that fit
than it is to find Oh, Polly

335
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:55,160
C in the chat room, Thank
you police to the rescue gentleman's warehouse.

336
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,079
Oh that's the name of the story. Yes, policy from retro Spectrum Radia

337
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,000
with Policy Friday, and it's here
on WMNH. Yes, that's I used

338
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:08,839
to like those ads anyway, I
now personally I have no strong opinions about

339
00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:14,039
this one way or the other,
much like the well, not exactly like

340
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,640
the subject I discussed yesterday. Yesterday
I discussed the subject on the show,

341
00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:21,319
which ended up taking the full two
hours, which I do have an opinion

342
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,000
on, but not a strong opinion. I'm amenable to opposing arguments, and

343
00:24:26,039 --> 00:24:29,720
I kept an open mind about it, and I thought I presented a pretty

344
00:24:29,759 --> 00:24:33,720
balanced picture. Not everyone agreed,
but that's okay. But I am curious

345
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:37,559
to get your opinion, in particular
because you did serve in the New Hampshire

346
00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:41,759
State Legislature. I have no idea
what the dress code is there. I

347
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:47,400
assume that there is one. I
also though, in at least one instance,

348
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,839
I remember over the years hearing something
about somebody I think it was a

349
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:56,200
libertarian what was refusing to follow the
dress code or something? Anyway, So

350
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,720
can you tell us about that and
what your opinion is on the matter.

351
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:03,640
I wonder if it'll be a surprise
or not a surprise. So I actually

352
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,920
do have a strong opinion about this, and I am in favor of the

353
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:11,759
dress code, and I will tell
you why. When you are in the

354
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,759
halls of where the seat of government
is and you're making passing laws and how

355
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:18,839
people are going to be forced to
live their lives or what's going to happen.

356
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:23,519
There needs to be a strong level
of decorum. There needs to be

357
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:30,920
the rules that keep the house functioning
appropriately functioning, or you have mayhem.

358
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:36,119
If you expect democrats and work together, to Democrats and Republicans to work together

359
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:41,920
to get legislation through, whether it's
conquered or it's Congress. You do that

360
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:45,119
by practicing a level of decorum.
And I do believe that the level of

361
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:51,160
dress is part of that. You
know, you act like you look right.

362
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,319
So when if everybody's in business attire, and that's what I'm talking about,

363
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:03,079
business attire, every body is going
to follow more likely to follow rules

364
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,200
of decorum than they would otherwise.
If everybody's in there with sweatpants or sweatshirts.

365
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:11,240
You know, and I and I
would argue, if you're six eight,

366
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,160
you're having to get special order pretty
much anything. So you can order

367
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,559
a pair of pants just as much
as you can order a sweatshirt. So

368
00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:22,759
that for me, it is kind
of a uh yeah, I see that

369
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,480
as a as an as an distraction
or or an excuse. If you will

370
00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:33,559
in in New Hampshire in conquered,
everybody is expected to be in business attire.

371
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:37,559
As a matter of fact, they
I don't know if they've fixed it,

372
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,279
but they never had a c when
I served. And in the wintertime,

373
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,000
wintertime, in the summertime, it
really gets hot in there and somebody

374
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:47,640
would have to Usually it would be
a woman would get up and go to

375
00:26:47,759 --> 00:26:52,880
the well and request that gentleman be
allowed to remove their coats. And when

376
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,200
I when I was leaving, I
think people were starting to think, maybe

377
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:02,519
you should say people, but I'm
probably I'm betting it's probably still gentlemen may

378
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:07,200
remove their coats when it should literally
just be people. But that level of

379
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:12,079
decorum is important for legislation to for
that discussion to happen, for the debate

380
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,720
to happen. And it is very
true that votes are changed on the floor.

381
00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:19,279
You know the right people get up
and speak, or you point out

382
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,680
something and a piece of legislation that's
a major error that if put into law,

383
00:27:23,839 --> 00:27:30,799
is super bad. You want people
listening and practicing that level while this

384
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,880
is going on. I don't think
I think you take I think you cheapen

385
00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:38,160
And I also think it would be
one hundred percent inappropriate too. I can't

386
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,960
imagine a leader coming from another country
to speak before Congress and they're sitting there

387
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,200
in sweatshirts and shorts. You know, like that's that's not okay. When

388
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:52,480
people come to speaking, they should
they should be walking into a place.

389
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:56,200
That's the thing. See that's part
of the thing too. And it bothers

390
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,200
me because you know, I have
a loved one that doesn't see things the

391
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:03,400
way that I do. But those
chambers are sacred, set those are those

392
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,359
are the very seat of our country. Those have to be held to a

393
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,519
specific level. If you cheapen it, if you crash open the doors and

394
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:17,119
run in there in sweats, you
you are not going to continue to operate

395
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,039
as the country that we've all gotten
to grow up in. I mean,

396
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:22,039
I'm kind of afraid we're losing that
anyway. But now I don't know if

397
00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:27,799
you know this, but our President
Joseph Robinett Biden, when he was a

398
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,079
senator, h he would often ask
permission to remove his coat. I have

399
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,400
some audio here, If please have
a seat and their permission, I'm gonna

400
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:45,119
take my coat hold And people were
and people were into it. They liked

401
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:48,920
when either were like whoo, yeah, well that is decorum. Is that

402
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,880
you asked, you know, made
gentlemen take off their coats? That was

403
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,960
that was back when he was in
his seventies. He was he was a

404
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,720
younger, strapping man of that.
That's right. He's in his lady,

405
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:00,920
No, he's not in his eight
eighties. He's eighty, but he'll be

406
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,480
eighty one. And but he's got
a coffee mug. Did you know this.

407
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:08,279
He's got a coffee mug on his
desk in the oval office that says

408
00:29:08,359 --> 00:29:11,799
life begins at eighty and when you
fill it up with a warm beverage,

409
00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:15,440
the coat comes off. Probably.
I don't know what. I don't know

410
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:22,200
what goes on there, but I
think you're surprised you that that's my opinion.

411
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,480
No, by the way, we
talked about this, Uh, just

412
00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:30,000
I'll just share this with the audience
we on the way here today. I

413
00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:32,640
did tell Jenny that I was going
to ask her her opinion this on the

414
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,319
air, But then when she started
to tell me, I said, no,

415
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,400
no, no, no, no, save it for the air,

416
00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:38,240
yep, because I don't know what. I don't know what you're going to

417
00:29:38,279 --> 00:29:44,759
say, and I want to be
surprised were you surprised, No, not

418
00:29:45,279 --> 00:29:48,000
really, No, I genuinely didn't
know which way you're going to go on

419
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:52,240
this. But I think your argument
about decorum is very sound. That does

420
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,839
make a lot of sense, and
a great point too about you know,

421
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,519
if somebody's another world leader is coming
to visit or something like that. Now,

422
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,319
I so I agree your arguments are
sound. Let me ask you this,

423
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:12,200
though, would you make an exception
for someone like John Fetterman who has

424
00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:17,680
had health problems and is just enormous
and it's probably a challenge for him to

425
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:22,920
wear suits like everyone else. I'm
not opposed at all to an exception that

426
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,240
may need to be made for an
individual, but I don't think the exception

427
00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:30,160
should be a pair of Bermuda shorts, and well, he doesn't wear Bermuda

428
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:36,960
shorts. I've seen some interesting pictures
of shorts on him. There are other

429
00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:41,079
things he could wear that would be
more professional and create a more professional scene,

430
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,759
not just on the chamber floors,
but also I feel in in in

431
00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:51,519
committee meetings, especially public hearings.
You know, if you've got a subcommittee

432
00:30:51,519 --> 00:30:53,039
work session that it's just a few
of you getting get of the work,

433
00:30:53,759 --> 00:30:56,519
that's fine. That that's no big
deal. I don't think you have to

434
00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:00,640
be dressed to the nines for that. But if you've your having hearings where

435
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,960
the public is coming in, where
people are coming into two jockey positions on

436
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:14,759
bills, those official business meetings and
those that are of House sessions or Senate

437
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:19,039
sessions should be under that decorum and
in that appropriate attire, and he could

438
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:22,559
put on something a little bit better. You know, he doesn't have to

439
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,480
go to the extreme. He could
totally put on a pair like how about

440
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,880
a pair of kults, you know, or not lots Like isn't that that's

441
00:31:32,079 --> 00:31:33,480
the wrong thing? I know,
I don't know why that came out,

442
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:41,359
Yeah, squirrel. But he could
wear like like cargo pants or and like

443
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,720
maybe a button shirt or even a
pullover shart, but not a sweatshirt.

444
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:52,319
What about a wrestling singlet as he's
about to choke slam Josh Holly, that'd

445
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,000
be kind of fun. Like he's
perfinitely none of the bottoms that those people

446
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:59,240
wear. He's showing he's in a
wrestling singlet and Josh Holly is in his

447
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:04,240
cowboy boo because it's a Monday,
and Federman just choke slams them. Just

448
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,200
no, okay, yeah, see
these are the things we're trying to stop

449
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:09,079
from happening in there, in case
you haven't. That's right, Okay,

450
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,359
I got confused. Yeah, it's
it's it's supposed to actually be a pretty

451
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:21,400
special place, right, go figure
now, Oh it's special, but not

452
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,680
although the actually it's really the house
where the wheels really seem to be coming

453
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,799
off. But you're right about that. I don't think. I don't know

454
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:32,480
if we'll have time to get to
that today. But but you know,

455
00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:38,319
the Sundate Dell does still have some
degree. You're right about about that.

456
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:46,559
But oh, any uh so any
stories about I seem to recall a few

457
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,960
years ago, this was after you
had served, though, there was a

458
00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:54,319
libertarian who was refusing to wear a
suit or something in the New Hampshire legislature.

459
00:32:54,519 --> 00:33:00,319
I don't recall any real issues with
a tire. When I was irving,

460
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:05,559
we had Representative Valancourt, who's now
passed away. You could tell what

461
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,319
kind of a mood he was in
by what tie he put on. Really,

462
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:09,880
yeah, if he put on the
black tie, get out of the

463
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,759
way. He was coming in hot. He was gonna he was in a

464
00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:17,799
mood. If you put on something
a little lighter and brighter, well he

465
00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:22,359
may not even go near the podium
today. He might just sit and listen

466
00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:25,680
or pace around and make faces at
you. He was a very he was

467
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,359
a big character. He had he
had it was a huge personality. Love

468
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,519
him or hate him. He passed
away. He served the state. So

469
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:37,200
that's the that's the closest that ever
really happened while I was serving, as

470
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,079
far as a tire or anything like
that. It was more or sometimes we

471
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,880
would try and get away with different
things. People try and get away with

472
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,680
things like trying to put signs on
themselves or something like that. I mean,

473
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:54,519
but nothing to the extreme, nothing
inappropriate. I don't remember anything inappropriate.

474
00:33:55,119 --> 00:34:00,359
And committees either, yeah, you
know, I mean decorum. When

475
00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:04,599
I was in conquered, decorum was
a big deal, and to my knowledge

476
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,079
it still is that big deal.
And I truly believe that that helps set

477
00:34:07,159 --> 00:34:13,199
the correct you know, the correct
feeling, the correct setting to actually talk

478
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,079
about government and try and get people
on opposite sides to come to an agreement

479
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:22,000
that the society as a whole can
live under. You know, you need

480
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,880
that, you need things to be
kept seriously Nothing should be a joke,

481
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,559
nothing should be taken lightly. And
I think if your laxidaisical about your dress,

482
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:36,280
you're gonna be laxadaisical about your attitude, right right, all right,

483
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,320
No, I agree. I think
you've convinced me. Let's see, oh

484
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,639
in the chat room, I think
we have another. I don't know how

485
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,039
j fed gets into these scraps with
our friends in Greensboro, North Carolina.

486
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:53,840
But v Altrans says master Jason Feederson. We say, we say no,

487
00:34:54,280 --> 00:35:00,639
we did not hack Isaac Banks from
US hashtag Jason, we did not Isaac.

488
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,239
We say, why you put two
isaacs? What? That's what?

489
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,079
It says he there's two Isaacs.
Now, I guess, like a cell

490
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,239
divides creates new I guess he's cloning
himself. And then what it is?

491
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:21,119
And then val Trans says hashtag Jason. We say it's just Isaac and we

492
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:28,320
are cool soul Jason Fetterson hashtag Jason
Fetterson. We say why because we did

493
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,519
not hack him, as Isaac Banks. We were minding our own business.

494
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:37,559
It's true, we say to you, Jason from US hashtag Matt we did

495
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:39,920
not hack Isaac Banks from US.
I don't know. I think he's not

496
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,679
going to sound guilty. And Matt
hashtag Jason just ask a crazy question on

497
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,920
us. We say, oh please, We say oh please, from us.

498
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,760
We just minding our own business,
we say hashtag Matt and hashtag Jen.

499
00:35:57,039 --> 00:36:00,920
We just want to enjoy your show
on Facebook Live from us to you,

500
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:05,559
and Jay Fed says, yes,
you sound guilty. See now that's

501
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:07,599
what I said. Yeah, I
don't know. I don't know. Starting

502
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:12,880
to sound a little money in that
room. If you'd like to get him

503
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,119
with a call six zero three two
five six zero seven, the studio line

504
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,559

00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:25,360
transays hashtag hashtag Jason, we are
not guilty. Guilty, guilty is charged.

506
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:32,280
Get the gallow. Oh sorry,
oh my got excited. Burn the

507
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:42,599
witches. No sorry, yeah,
there's uh this this actually let's grab this.

508
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,159
I think, uh, put him
in jail. I think our friend

509
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,039
Charles Richardson is on the line.
Hi, Charles, Hey, gang,

510
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:52,159
what's going on? It's going down? Not living in Florida safely? How

511
00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:59,719
about you? Oh please, don't
even go there. I'm trying to I'll

512
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:05,679
trying to avoid that. And just
like COVID nineteen, I wanted to avoid

513
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:15,079
it as much as possible, But
I do. I do agree with you

514
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:17,199
know, dressing up when you're going
ahead and in front of public, and

515
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:22,519
if you're in a political office or
you know what, any type of profession

516
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:28,119
that involves representing somebody, you want
to be the best stretch. You don't

517
00:37:28,119 --> 00:37:30,719
want to show up and sweat to
the T shirt or shorts or you know.

518
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:37,679
Heck, even in some cases a
button down shirt is still casual,

519
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:42,079
you know what I'm saying. And
I mean that could be formal, almost

520
00:37:42,119 --> 00:37:45,239
formal for maybe some professions like well, we don't have to go that much

521
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,519
like business casual. But it's like
when you're going ahead and representing the country,

522
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,719
when you're going ahead and coming into
somebody, like if we're gonna have

523
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,639
another leader come in, dude,
you gotta dress up. You gotta go

524
00:37:57,679 --> 00:38:05,760
ahead and represent your country requirement though
ties are miserably uncomfortable, So I would

525
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,480
like to I think we could do
business but make ties optional. Oh okay,

526
00:38:10,599 --> 00:38:14,039
I don't like ties either. But
you know something, when I was

527
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:16,119
DJ and weddings and this is DJ, now come on, well I was

528
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:20,199
DJ and weddings, I always wore
tied no matter how uncomfortable it was,

529
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,119
because I am representing the business.
I'm representing people that are going to weddings

530
00:38:24,199 --> 00:38:29,239
that are formally dressed up most of
the time kind of music. I had

531
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:34,360
my beach weddings, but formally dressed
up. I'm not going to go in

532
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,360
there like a slub, right right, I'll be. I'll be a shlub

533
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:42,280
setting up by service. Then I'm
sneaking into the bathroom changing and I'm coming

534
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,079
out looking like you know, ye
five and a half million dollars. They're

535
00:38:45,119 --> 00:38:49,440
paying you the money for it.
You owe them that much. And we're

536
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:53,519
paying these guys an awful lot of
money to be able to and these people

537
00:38:53,679 --> 00:38:58,079
sitting in Congress, in the House
and every day, trust me, they're

538
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:01,119
getting paid. Oh yeah, the
money. They can go ahead and get

539
00:39:01,159 --> 00:39:06,679
those fancy, fancy suits. Uh, even the people that apparently have health

540
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,159
conditions, I'm sure they can find
something. Even if it's like a T

541
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:17,519
shirt tucks you know that, I'll
take the button down over the T shirt

542
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:22,320
taltho. Although it would be it
would it actually would be funny if Federman

543
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,760
showed up one day and a T
shirt talks just to mock everybody and he's

544
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,920
someone who might actually do it.
That would be funny. Yeah, but

545
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,480
what you were reading at the start
of the show, though, it sounded

546
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:36,519
like he was actually like, I
don't want to abuse this, right,

547
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,800
I voted from the door away,
right, Yeah. True, So I

548
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,480
think it matters to him a little
bit. Yeah, No, it does

549
00:39:43,679 --> 00:39:47,320
clearly, but he wants to have
the option. I mean, we can't

550
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,239
go ahead and shy away from you
know, we don't want to discriminate somebody

551
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,880
because they have an illness, just
like we don't want to discriminate somebody Ronda

552
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:04,760
Santez against the and I you you
racist rights, right, So I'm gonna

553
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,000
say about that, right, he's
over here, taken away and I because

554
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,960
oh, it's not beneficial, it's
not it's no, No, you're doing

555
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:19,280
that because you're a racist. Yeah, I'm glad you're dropping down that in

556
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:25,559
the Republican. I'm so happy to
see your political career go in the toilet.

557
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,440
Yeah. Christ Chris Christy has surged
ahead of well, I don't know

558
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,400
if surge is quite the right word, but he's pulled ahead of DeSantis in

559
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,760
the New Hampshire primary polls that I've
seen. When we were coming in Charles.

560
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,400
When we were driving in today,
I was looking at the latest news

561
00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,559
article on my phone and one of
the first things that popped up was another

562
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:52,679
incident in Florida. It was regarding
Florida's banning of the n Frank diary Van

563
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,239
Frank, and a teacher had made
a comment something and I might be conflating

564
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,840
a little bit, but a teacher
had made a comment about how it was

565
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,519
written by a twelve year old,
so their peers should be able to read

566
00:41:01,559 --> 00:41:08,119
it. But that's Florida is just
getting really extreme. It doesn't matter who

567
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,639
wrote it, it's if it's not
appropriate, just shouldn't be on the shelves.

568
00:41:13,199 --> 00:41:16,639
The diary of Anfred is not appropriate. The diary of any no,

569
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,119
no, no, no, I've
never read them, going off the reservation

570
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,119
confused shouldn't be on I've never read
the diary in Freaks. I cannot comment

571
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:30,079
if it is or is not.
No, I'm not gonna go ahead and

572
00:41:30,199 --> 00:41:34,760
jump into that rabbit hole. If
it's and if this is this is something

573
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:43,360
that could I suggest you read it
something that I misunderstood and correct me from,

574
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,840
because you guys probably know this way
more than I do. Well,

575
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:52,159
When Rand de Santez passed that don't
say gay bill. Apparently it was about

576
00:41:52,480 --> 00:42:00,760
pedophilia in the classrooms. Looking to
these uses, the excuses that have been

577
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:07,960
used are just that they're excuses.
The Diary of Anne Frank has no pedophilia.

578
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,119
There's nothing in the Diary of Anne
Frank except the horrors of what a

579
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,719
Jewish kid went through and what it
was like living a hiding for two years

580
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,639
before she was murdered. Well,
that's what the book is about. But

581
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:27,239
it's not about sex. It's not
about pedophilia. Okay, well that's good,

582
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,519
that's good. But seriously, oh
my god, I don't know if

583
00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:37,199
it is it appropriate to read about
such tragedies like that in the elementary It's

584
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,679
not elementary school. That's not elementary. We're not talking about elementary school.

585
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,960
We're talking about junior high high school
kids. Nobody teaches the Holocaust in elementary

586
00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:52,480
school. That's just that's BS.
That's total BS. There is no elementary

587
00:42:52,559 --> 00:42:59,199
school that teaches the frigging Holocaust or
the Civil War or the Korean War.

588
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,719
We don't teach anything about killing people
in elementary school. School. You have

589
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,880
to you have to go back decades
that until the last time I was in

590
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,320
elementary school, we teach the Holocaust. We teach World War one, World

591
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:15,360
War two, the Holocaust, junior
high, high school when they're older and

592
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,159
in hopes that they won't end up
in wars themselves, or that maybe they'll

593
00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:22,159
have more sense than we did,
and not getting into wars. But to

594
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,920
not teach these things. You know, when you forget about history, you

595
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:30,320
doom to repeat it. If the
whole system down here is all messed up,

596
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:37,760
there's a lot of Florida nothing.
Nothing about this governor that he passes

597
00:43:38,119 --> 00:43:43,079
is going to surprise me. It's
going to sadden me, it's going to

598
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:49,679
but it's not going to surprise me. This is just we hopefully get rid

599
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,360
of his behind when his term runs
up and just get out of here.

600
00:43:53,639 --> 00:43:58,679
Don't ever see him again. Wow, you got a super strong opinion.

601
00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:01,760
Well, he's a Arles has been
Charles. I thought he liked him.

602
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,039
No, Charles has been consistent on
that. He has not been a fan

603
00:44:06,119 --> 00:44:08,639
of De Santis for as long as
I can remember. That's good. Yeah,

604
00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:15,159
that's good. As soon as see
you can keep him with my pride

605
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:22,880
and joy Disney. Okay, that's
real lot. Not banning the Holocaust.

606
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,840
If I was on my show,
there would be so many leaps right now.

607
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:31,519
Any oh boy, I'm gonna I'm
gonna go calm down before I have

608
00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:34,920
to pick up my son. So
you guys have a great day, all

609
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,079
right, Charles, we appreciate the
call. Thanks man, Take care all

610
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:42,239
right, bye bye. Oh.
Yeah, Charles has never been a fan

611
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,000
of the Santis. I mean,
I guess I just kind of in the

612
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:47,760
beginning. Maybe I wasn't thinking.
I thought in the beginning he was.

613
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,559
But I'm glad to know that he's
not. Yeah, but I would like

614
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,360
him to keep him well, don't
want I mean in our state, you

615
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,199
can keep him. I mean,
that was the first time I've ever heard

616
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,559
him a call to Santa's racist,
This is true. But he was pretty

617
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,880
and he was pretty emphatic about it
too that that actually surprised me. But

618
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,320
yeah, Charles is not a fan
of the governor of Florida. That clearly

619
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:16,599
is the case. And he likes
the other guy, right who Trump?

620
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,280
No, Charles Trump. No,
Charles doesn't like Trump either. I want

621
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,320
to know who he now, see
now, I want to know who he's

622
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,960
back. He may not have anybody
he's backing necessarily because the thing about Charles

623
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,320
is he's not as in the politics
as we are. True, you know,

624
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,559
he's more of a casual observer.
He's not like so he I don't

625
00:45:32,599 --> 00:45:36,199
know if I don't know if there's
anybody he likes. I haven't heard him

626
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,199
mention anyone he particularly is supporting.
Nobody outside of your Hampshire is into politics

627
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:45,760
more than it is our sport.
It is our state sport. I mean,

628
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,760
I think my my perception of Charles
is politically he leans more right than

629
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,000
left, so he would probably support
a Republican over a Democrat, I think.

630
00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:55,639
I mean, that's my impression,
but I don't even know. He

631
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,199
might be an independent, I'm not
actually sure. I feel like the independence

632
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,400
is going to grow more if we
have a rehash, if we have a

633
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,840
rematch between Biden and Trump, well
then I think that's accepting what's going to

634
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,800
happen. Well, people who are
just going to be like, I'm done

635
00:46:13,079 --> 00:46:17,480
going because they independence grow in this
country. Well, last I looked,

636
00:46:17,519 --> 00:46:23,280
forty four percent of the American electorate
is independent, neither Republican or a Democrat

637
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,400
or you know, independent or undeclared. I think in New Hampshire we use

638
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,639
the term undeclared, whatever term you
want to use, But that doesn't mean

639
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:37,400
that forty four percent of the electorate
who are independents don't necessarily tend to vote

640
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,280
for one party over the other.
They just many of them just don't want

641
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,559
to be a part of a member
of a party, but they still vote

642
00:46:43,559 --> 00:46:46,920
consistently one one way or the other. Unfortunately true. I'll give you a

643
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,760
little tidbed here. When we were
talking about the dress code or gone,

644
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:58,800
Katu did an informal survey should members
of Congress have a dress code? And

645
00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:02,920
over ten thousand people have voted ninety
percent say yes. I'm not surprised.

646
00:47:06,159 --> 00:47:10,400
Michael Smerconish on his radio show he
puts up a poll question every day.

647
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,519
I think it was was it yesterday? It was either yesterday or Monday.

648
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:21,159
There was a poll question and yeah, overwhelmingly his audience said, yeah,

649
00:47:21,199 --> 00:47:24,280
there should be a dress code.
So, like I said, I didn't

650
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,119
have a strong opinion one way or
the other. But your arguments are persuasive.

651
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,480
No, they are right. I
mean the decorum thing. I was

652
00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:36,920
a decent rep absolutely, I flipped
House votes. By the way, Sepsis

653
00:47:37,199 --> 00:47:40,360
joins us in the Facebook patch at
and says education time for us. Does

654
00:47:40,519 --> 00:47:45,920
independent or undeclared mean that they don't
want to participate? Uh No, that

655
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,039
just makes a good question. It
just means they don't want to be part

656
00:47:47,079 --> 00:47:51,199
of either political party. Like me, I don't want to be you know,

657
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,639
do I vote one way more than
the other? Oh? Yes,

658
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,920
even more so now than ever.
But I don't want to be a part

659
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:02,239
of a uh an ideological heard the
state of New Hampshire refuses to recognize the

660
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,840
word independent. You might only be
undeclared, say undeclared, which I know

661
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,519
bothers you. I personally don't have
a problem that bother me. I think

662
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:13,760
independent is independent undeclared as I don't
know. I'm not picking anything, but

663
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:20,440
to me, being independent is in
a sense a party choice. We are

664
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,239
almost at the top of the hour
and I see musicians in the hallway.

665
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:25,760
Yes, yes, yes, So
we're gonna take a break, gonna show

666
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,039
some love to our amazing sponsors,
and then we're gonna play a song from

667
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:35,119
from these guys Marvel Prone while they
come in and get set up because they

668
00:48:35,159 --> 00:48:37,559
are going to perform live for us
in the second hour. So so there

669
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:42,239
is plenty more to come here on
Matt Connerton Unleashed. Oh, by the

670
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,840
way, Stepsa says, we're not
being fresh. We actually don't know about

671
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,239
any groups or political things. Oh
no, we meant no, No,

672
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,320
I got that, Yeah, yeah, no, we were serious. Is

673
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,239
it independent and undeclared do mean the
same thing in the state of New Hampshire.

674
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:57,199
I was saying that I think it
should be different. Yeah, And

675
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,679
I don't have to me it's semantics. I don't I don't care either way.

676
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,639
Call me independent, call me undeclared, call me just don't call me

677
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,320
a Republican or a Democratic. Please, we don't call me late for dinner.

678
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:10,360
Well that too obviously. Oh and
Sepsis says, Marvel Prone is awesome.

679
00:49:10,599 --> 00:49:15,480
Yes, Sepsis, you are awesome
and Marvel Prone is coming up next.

680

We have two members of Marvel Prone. So we have Rayner, who has

692
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:47,079
been on the show with us before. Hi, Matt, it's good to

693
00:50:47,079 --> 00:50:50,719
see you again. Wepe. Sorry
you're so loud in the headphones there.

694
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,920
I'm kind of I'm adjusting the mics
as we go here and then uh,

695
00:50:54,559 --> 00:51:00,159
and I will let you introduce the
new person or not well, not so

696
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,880
much new but new to us.
Yes, we have Emily Donophan over here.

697
00:51:05,119 --> 00:51:07,400
Hey, thanks for having us.
Hello Emily, welcome, Welcome you.

698
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,559
And what's the story here? So
you you were in the band before

699
00:51:12,599 --> 00:51:15,840
and you rejoined the band? Is
that? Yeah? So Rayner and I

700
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,679
went to high school together and my
freshman year I wanted to start a band.

701
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,960
So I think Rainer was sitting at
the lunch table and I was like,

702
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:23,920
Hey, do you want to be
in a band with me? And

703
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:28,320
he said yeah. And that was
ten years ago. Oh wow, and

704
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:30,840
yeah here we are today. Oh, very cool, very cool. And

705
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:36,400
then uh so when so when Marvel
Prone started? So that was that was

706
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,039
the beginning of Marvel Prone. Yeah, and then Rayners kept it going all

707
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:43,559
this time. I was away for
college for a few years. But I

708
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:46,599
moved back maybe three months ago.
Okay, and yeah, Rayner had sent

709
00:51:46,679 --> 00:51:50,800
me a message and I responded and
we were talking and then he said do

710
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:52,519
you want to come back to the
band? And I was thrilled. Oh,

711
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:57,239
very cool, very cool. All
right, well, I'm looking forward

712
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,039
to hearing you play. And Emily, can you strum that guitar a little

713
00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:08,280
for me? That's want to see
if that okay? That should be good?

714
00:52:08,639 --> 00:52:15,000
And rain Or can you strum a
little? There is there? We

715
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:19,880
go? All right, cool,
I'm gonna have to adjust on the fly,

716
00:52:20,039 --> 00:52:23,000
which I'm used to doing so sweet. Yeah. Yeah, so if

717
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,119
you if you would both like to
play something, and then uh and then

718
00:52:27,159 --> 00:52:30,480
we'll talk a bit. Got sounds
good, Matt Awesome, Mark Marvel prone

you. If you ever feel like taking

720
00:53:01,039 --> 00:53:08,280
a chance, look at these hands
up for reach out to me. I

721
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:15,159
can feel as she hits me deep
down. He kills me. I know

722
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:23,639
she's fearing me apart, but she
doesn't like a wake apart seventeen sacar chewed

723
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:37,599
up like nickel chick from my tongue, but bear family. She's always faking

724
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:52,079
another's breakdown. Get to my insides
out curve. There's nothing. Let's too

725
00:53:52,239 --> 00:54:00,360
hide, there's nothing to talk about
when you already very mind. I can

726
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:07,320
feel it in my feet there,
when we're dancing on the floor and when

727
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:15,159
I'm walking the street along, I
don't feel like anymore. Second and sigar

728
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:30,960
ratched up like nickel rutched from my
tone, Bobby, She's always another's break

729
00:54:30,079 --> 00:54:46,360
down. You think it's so punk
rock, Well you're lucky, girl,

730
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:57,960

If you'll ever feel like taking unchance,

in the v women in the street alone.

733
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:35,519

Thank you. I'm sorry, Jenny, I didn't have your my concent again.

That was awesome, thanks, Jenny, absolutely absolutely, Yeah you sound

736
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:51,079
great. Now, So how often
do you play with this configuration where it's

737
00:55:51,079 --> 00:55:52,559
just the two of you? Or
is this is this the first time doing

738
00:55:52,559 --> 00:55:57,960
it this way? Yeah, it's
like the first time, really kidding.

739
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,400
Yeah, yeah, we've probably done
it before, but I don't think so,

740
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:06,239
which is funny. Yeah yeah,
just for the radio thing. Yeah

741
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:10,960
yeah. So now, so usually
it's it's four of you for regular shows.

742
00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:16,559
Yeah, yeah, okay. Our
bassist Matthew Bickerstaff plays with us a

743
00:56:16,599 --> 00:56:21,960
lot, although he's going to school
right now, so his availability is kind

744
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,519
of out the window now. Yeah, he might play with us again in

745
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:30,639
the winter for some shows. And
then Madison Rousseau is still jamming with us,

746
00:56:30,639 --> 00:56:35,920
an incredible drummer, and yeah she
yea, so she's still playing with

747
00:56:36,039 --> 00:56:38,719
us. Yeah, she was here
last time. Yeah. None of our

748
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,599
listeners is in a store dancing down
the aisles. Oh oh, thank you.

749
00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:52,800
Ronda Fervero from California. Yeah,
excellent. So, now, when

750
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,880
you don't have your bass player,
what do you still play? Are you

751
00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:01,199
able to to kind of work around
that or oh well we actually yeah,

752
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:06,280
yeah, I mean like we'll practice
with whoever we can practice with, because

753
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,280
I mean, everyone's availability. I've
always had this challenge with the band.

754
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:14,000
It's just like, you know,
everyone's availability is different in everything, and

755
00:57:14,039 --> 00:57:17,719
so it's very rare that we actually
get a full band practice. But I

756
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:22,079
just I just you know, surrendered
to that, and it's just we'll practice

757
00:57:22,079 --> 00:57:24,360
with anyone who who's available, and
that that works out nicely. Yeah,

758
00:57:24,559 --> 00:57:29,000
And you know we don't and we
don't just like rehearse, we also like

759
00:57:29,079 --> 00:57:32,119
try to you know, write songs
together. Yeah, so excellent. How

760
00:57:32,199 --> 00:57:37,880
often are you playing out are you
or are you more focusing on Can I

761
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:44,119
plug a show? Yeah? We're
playing a show at the Stone Church on

762
00:57:44,239 --> 00:57:49,000
October nineteenth. Excellent, the Thursday. I think we're open up for some

763
00:57:49,639 --> 00:57:54,199
jazz guitar jazz fusion guitarists from New
York Kid. Yeah, so this should

764
00:57:54,199 --> 00:57:57,840
be a cool show. It's a
Thursday night. Yeah, But I would

765
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,760
say we've been playing like at least
a couple of times in for the summer.

766
00:58:01,639 --> 00:58:06,199
Things are slowing down nav we'll be
working on some other projects instead.

767
00:58:06,519 --> 00:58:12,159
Yeah, we've played at the Middle
East. In Cambridge we played at the

768
00:58:12,199 --> 00:58:15,199
press Room this summer. That was
a first show at the press Room,

769
00:58:15,239 --> 00:58:17,000
which is great. In the past
we've played at the three s Art Space,

770
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,840
another great venue, and in Portsmouth
trying to think where where else?

771
00:58:25,199 --> 00:58:30,000
Yeah, those are the like notable
locations. And we've played a couple of

772
00:58:30,039 --> 00:58:37,079
venues here in Manchester, we've played
Angel City Music Hall and you know,

773
00:58:37,239 --> 00:58:40,519
I'd like to play a show.
I've played with my other band at not

00:58:40,679 --> 00:58:45,800
the Shas Skiing but the what is
it called Strange Brew Tavern. I've played

there with them, and so I
want to get Marvel prone show there.

776
00:58:49,559 --> 00:58:52,639
Now. Who's the other band?

777
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:58,280

You're very lucky to be on Matt

794
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:22,320
Show. He's a very attentative person
when it comes to the music scene,

795
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:31,519
and uh, he really gives bands
a chance to explode out there literally on

800
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:51,360
I have listened to Matt on a
few interviews with bands, and he just

801
01:00:51,519 --> 01:00:57,840
does a bang up job and gives
these guys an opportunity to share their art

802
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:02,760
form in New Hampshire. And I've
been hearing a lot of things about New

803
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:09,519
Hampshire that it's a a pretty interesting
town as far as Manchester and the music

804

scene and throughout New Hampshire. I
didn't know this. Oh well, thank

806
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,679
enjoy booking all of these wonderful bands. I don't think I'll ever run out

807
01:01:21,719 --> 01:01:25,039
of talent. That's right, that's
right. Well, Joe, Yeah,

808
01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:30,679
Well, Matt's an expert because he
was a bass player from what I understand,

809
01:01:30,199 --> 01:01:35,320
in a rock and band, I
believe. I don't know much about

810
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,079
it, but this is with the
rumor that I heard. Hey Joejoe,

811
01:01:38,159 --> 01:01:44,840
have you heard my new favorite band? Uh? Jerry Robinson. Oh yeah,

812
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:50,280
he's amazing. Ah, Jerry Robinson, the make believe guy, the

813
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:53,000
guy that was created out of Adobe. Yeah that doesn't some incredible sounds.

814
01:01:54,039 --> 01:01:58,760
I don't know what you call make
believe, but dang, there's some guitar

815
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:05,000
playing in there. Yeah, no, the music is I have to I

816
01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:09,599
hate to admit it. I hate
to admit it. Not bad. What

817
01:02:09,679 --> 01:02:15,679
have you done with Jojo even though
he's pony? Oh No, Jerry's Israel

818
01:02:15,719 --> 01:02:20,079
as it gets. But this is
a Joe. I feel like you've turned

819
01:02:20,079 --> 01:02:22,599
a corner. You're being very positive
today. Well you know what it is,

820
01:02:22,719 --> 01:02:28,199
Matt. I Uh, I hate
to be positive on your show because

821
01:02:28,239 --> 01:02:31,440
we're supposed to go out after each
other. I'm supposed to have this rivalry,

822
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:37,920
right But in reality, you know, Matt, I do have respect

823
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,920
for you because you're very You're smarter
than most of the people in New Hampshire.

824
01:02:45,079 --> 01:02:51,039
Wow, okay, you know what
I mean, Like you're intelligence suppedes

825
01:02:51,159 --> 01:02:53,679
the people of New Hampshire, you
know, who are basically into, you

826
01:02:53,760 --> 01:03:00,199
know, hugging trees and uh,
sucked it up. Maple syrup love,

827
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,519
maple serruve. What do you have
against maple syrup? But yeah, well

828
01:03:04,559 --> 01:03:08,960
I had maple syrup today at McDonald's. It wasn't bad. You're out there

829
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,559
in New Hampshire, but it's the
same mentality as Vermont, you know.

830
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,719
I mean, you know, there's
not much smartness there, you know,

831
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:22,119
with the people tree hugging and sucking
up maple syrup for the tree. That's

832
01:03:22,159 --> 01:03:30,159
all I'm saying. Okay, all
right, well fair enough, But well,

833
01:03:30,199 --> 01:03:32,599
Gal Matt is my one of my
starting to become one of my favorite

834
01:03:34,119 --> 01:03:37,599
broadcasters. He's got a lot of
winds, got a lot of intelligence,

835
01:03:38,159 --> 01:03:44,199
thank you, even though I don't
agree with his opinions political and I hope

836
01:03:44,239 --> 01:03:49,519
one day to call in and maybe
talk a little bit about his leftist mentality

837
01:03:50,239 --> 01:03:52,880
and how we could correct it.
Right right, Well, I'll try to

838
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:58,400
keep an open mind in that vein. By the way, Matt, I'm

839
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,679
going to be announcing the uh,
the day that I make my uh,

840
01:04:03,719 --> 01:04:12,480
you know, my great comeback,
and uh, I'm going to take away

841
01:04:12,559 --> 01:04:15,400
some of your audience. I hope
you don't mind. Oh yeah, you

842
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,719
know, uh, you gonna do
your book. Joe, Joe, can

are you asking about this woman here uncontrollably?

844
01:04:23,599 --> 01:04:28,039
Oh yeah, actually figgling about I
think, well, I don't know

845
01:04:28,199 --> 01:04:30,599
something, something that is sickled or
fancy, clearly, but I think that.

846
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,639
But I think Joe, I think
a raider is asking about Marvel Brone

847
01:04:34,679 --> 01:04:38,239
being on your show. Yeah,
Joe, can we can we can we

855
01:05:10,119 --> 01:05:15,199

category, but I like you. You

01:07:15,519 --> 01:07:18,199
Psychology. All right, very good. Marvel prone is live in studio.

888
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:56,400
Take th col in the eyes,
she tell you us until cry hi five.

889
01:07:59,159 --> 01:08:10,679
It's go will lie to take the
die into the hide. Your psychology

890
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:24,279
it's got a hold, and it's
taken everything everything I've got. Your psychology,

891
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:32,920
it's got a hold, and now
I can see everything out of heart,

892
01:08:48,880 --> 01:09:05,800
she says. Let's make them dispear
and lay watch you pray. You'll

893
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:16,199
make you go and say all you
play. It's all a game. Your

894
01:09:16,319 --> 01:09:30,800
psychology it's got a fold on me
and stapping everything everything I've got. Your

895
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:41,000
psychology it's got a fold on me, and now I can see everything.

01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:20,760
your I got calling you technical,
MADDI. Well you gotta understand the board.

901
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:25,119
It's got all these buttons and sliders. But you've been playing with those

902
01:11:25,199 --> 01:11:30,439
buttons and sliders, sliders and buttons
on is that's true? That was gorgeous.

903
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:34,039
Thank you gorgeous. I loved that. If you're just joining us,

904
01:11:34,079 --> 01:11:39,960
we have a Rainer and Emily from
Marvel Prone live in studio with us and

905
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,399
they're playing some songs and uh,
yeah, this is great. Yeah,

906
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:47,520
that's you said. That's a new
song you just wrote. It's new for

907
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:51,560
Marvel Prone. But I actually wrote
that for different band I was in in

908
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:57,359
college called Plane Jane. We kind
of, you know, simmered out when

909
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:00,680
the pandemic started. But I've kept
some of my songs and I'm revamping them

910
01:12:01,039 --> 01:12:04,319
to play with this group. It's
been really fun. It's a good project.

911
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,720
Yeah, excellent, excellent. Now
so tell me, Yeah, so

912
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,439
when you went when Marvel Prone started, so you approached Ranner and just like

913
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:16,760
what what what made you like?
Had you seen and heard him play or

914
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,119
what made Yeah? We were we
were in the school rock band together.

915
01:12:23,159 --> 01:12:26,840
We went to a really small art
school, so we were playing in the

916
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,439
school rock band together, and he
was a drummer at the time. Yeah,

917
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:31,840
but I was obsessed. I was
starting to get obsessed with a guitar.

918
01:12:32,199 --> 01:12:36,199
Yeah, when I was sixteen,
I read a Jimmy Hendricks biography and

919
01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:41,079
then I would just carry my guitar
to class because at this charter school,

920
01:12:41,079 --> 01:12:45,720
they didn't they didn't stop me from
doing that. And yeah, I just

921
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:50,319
started playing a lot of guitar and
everything, but I'd mostly played drums at

922
01:12:50,359 --> 01:12:54,439
that point. So when we started
the band, I was actually the drummer

923
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:58,560
and we had these two other guys
in the band, uh Riley on bass

924
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,760
and Peter on keys. They went
to Oyster River and they were my childhood

925
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:06,880
friends. And so when Emily came, I think she told me like,

926
01:13:08,199 --> 01:13:12,439
hey, we should start a band
with you Rally and Peter. That'd be

927
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,159
so cool. I'm like, oh, yeah, totally, how you met.

928
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:16,439
No, I didn't do them.
I just said we should start a

929
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,720
banding We're like, oh, I
know the perfect guys. I know the

930
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:23,840
perfect Yeah, And I was like
trying to start a band with those guys

931
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,439
for some time, but we were
just kind of talking about it. Yeah,

932
01:13:27,359 --> 01:13:30,960
So that was like Emily gave us
enough reason to like, all right,

933
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,520
we got a singer, and I
was I wasn't even saying I was

934
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:38,399
just the drummer and everything. And
then but then when I did start singing

935
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:42,079
and I just started playing guitar,
Emily left the band. She was like,

936
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,000
I'm done. Yeah. I left
for maybe a year, yeah really

937
01:13:46,119 --> 01:13:48,800
maybe, yeah, and then I
came back yeah okay, and then I

938
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:54,760
left for college, so I really
left, Okay, So yeah, she

939
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:59,079
just comes and goes as she pleases. Yeah, I'm saying, okay,

940
01:13:59,199 --> 01:14:00,680
good good, No, no,
why did you leave? So the first

941
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:06,319
time you left, what happened?
Rader? I Rader took over? I

942
01:14:06,399 --> 01:14:10,600
think, yeah, I think.
You know, it's kind of hard to

943
01:14:11,359 --> 01:14:15,359
collaborate sometimes, and we were really
young, so we didn't know how to

944
01:14:15,399 --> 01:14:18,520
collaborate yet. But then, you
know, as we both grew as musicians,

945
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,159
I think we figured it out.
And now, like, my favorite

946
01:14:21,199 --> 01:14:26,479
part of being in a band is
collaborating with Rayner and other band members because

947
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,399
you know, everyone brings something different
to the table, so it's really fun

948
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,920
to create together and get like those
different flavors you know. Yeah, so

949
01:14:32,079 --> 01:14:34,640
you so you left for a year
and then you were back. Yeah,

950
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,560
and then you had to leave again
to go to school. Yeah. So

951
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:40,920
then I left for six years.
Oh wow, yeah yeah. Okay,

952
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:45,359
what did you go to school for
music? Oh? Excellent? Yeah,

953
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:50,600
I studied. Yeah, I studied
jazz, did a lot of jazz performance,

954
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,960
but studied a lot of music theory
and music history and all that kind

955
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,600
of stuff. It was a great
experience. Yeah, stuff you have yet

956
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,319
to teach me. I want.
I want to learn because I took a

957
01:15:01,399 --> 01:15:04,560
music theory of course. I was
first a music major at U n H.

958
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:09,159
I changed the computer science, but
I took one year and I took

959
01:15:09,199 --> 01:15:11,399
one year in music theory. It's
like my favorite class of all time.

960
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:17,159
But I always got like her graduates
degree in music theory. Stop keeping all

961
01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:23,319
that knowledge to yourself weekly lessons,
all right. I'm at the other end

962
01:15:23,359 --> 01:15:27,319
of the knowledge spectrum. Like I
tried to learn theory and I just gave

963
01:15:27,399 --> 01:15:30,640
up on it. So I just
I mean, if I hadn't had to

964
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,640
do it, I wouldn't have done
it. But I don't know how I

965
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:36,319
passed my theory class, like no
clue. Oh, did you study music

966
01:15:36,359 --> 01:15:40,680
as well in high school? Not
in college. In college I did other

967
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,800
things. But yeah, no,
I don't know how I made it out

968
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:48,079
of that high school class. I
stunk and I just completely stunk. I

969
01:15:48,119 --> 01:15:54,600
couldn't get it. DJ Mark l
WI Radio, who is in the UK,

970

what do you have coming up for? Do you have shows coming up or

1002
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,000
yeah, that's right, you did
mention something. Yes, we have two

1003
01:22:20,039 --> 01:22:27,640
shows coming up to We have the
Stone Church on October nineteenth, and then

1004
01:22:28,159 --> 01:22:35,399
we are playing at the Middle East
in Cambridge on December nineteenth with Jean Paul,

1005
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:43,239
Jean Paul, Summer Cult and uh
is it flows Stanley. I don't

1006
01:22:43,239 --> 01:22:45,319
know. I can't remember. I
can't remember the fourth band exactly, but

1007
01:22:46,039 --> 01:22:49,399
yeah, that's gonna be a huge
show for us because those are our friends

1008
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:53,880
in Boston. We love them so
much. They're really they're part of some

1009
01:22:54,039 --> 01:22:57,439
incredible bands, and so it's gonna
be a really fun show and probably gonna

1010
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,760
pack the place. So yeah,
very cool, excellent, excellent. By

1011
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,479
the way, I noticed her in
that song, and I wonder if if

1012
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,439
this is something that you do a
lot with It's it's kind of like you're

1013
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:10,600
you're going back and forth on leads. Yeah, and it's it's it's interesting.

1014
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:14,239
It really kind of almost sounds pretentious
to say it this way, but

1015
01:23:14,279 --> 01:23:17,920
it sort of weaves a tapestry of
the things of the you know, just

1016
01:23:18,039 --> 01:23:21,800
sonically Is that something that you do
a lot or is that unique to that

1017
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:26,119
song or yeah, no, I
think I think I think we do that

1018
01:23:26,199 --> 01:23:29,399
a lot with our songs, isn't
it. You know, neither of us

1019
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,600
is the set lead guitarists, yeah, or lead singer for that matter.

1020
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,319
Yeah, you know, so we
all kind of just play different roles,

1021
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:42,760
you know, depending on the song. Because it's interesting so watching watching the

1022
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,720
two of you play it almost I
mean, I'm sure there's a lot that

1023
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,720
goes into writing these songs and learning
them and putting it all together, but

1024
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:55,640
it looks effortless the way you just
sort of shift back and forth with the

1025
01:23:55,720 --> 01:24:00,439
leads and the and the rhythm guitar
parts. It's it's interesting. Thanks.

1026
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,399
I think it has a lot to
do. It just kind of like letting

1027
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:06,880
go, yeah, and not not
worrying about, you know, small little

1028
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,520
mistakes here and there. You can
just kind of let go and yeah,

1029
01:24:12,119 --> 01:24:15,279
keep it moving. You can find
the rhythm if it helps with transitions,

1030
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,800
right, right, yeah, very
good, Very good. Now, is

1031
01:24:19,279 --> 01:24:24,279
is there any there's I assume there's
no recorded material yet right with you Emily

1032
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:28,199
on Yeah, not yet with me, but we're hoping to write a bunch

1033
01:24:28,239 --> 01:24:31,479
of new stuff and then yeah,
and record it. Yeah, I'm probably

1034
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,399
in between these two shows we have
will work stuff like that. Yeah,

1035
01:24:35,039 --> 01:24:39,119
yeah, at least work on writing
stuff. Yeah, we're right. We're

1036
01:24:39,159 --> 01:24:44,560
gonna you know, finish some songs
we started working on and write a bunch

1037
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:50,800
of new songs and probably try to
record ourselves and and then you know,

1038
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:56,119
I find that like in the recording
process, you can really like iron out

1039
01:24:56,239 --> 01:24:58,760
what you like and what you don't
like about a song because you get to

1040
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,880
listen to it over and over again, and and then so that let's probably

1041
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:06,520
take what we like from that and
go into a professional studio record some more

1042
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:11,399
music. But that'll probably be like
next year sometime, yeah, if we're

1043
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,399
if we're consistent, So yeah,
it's definitely a long process. Yeah,

1044
01:25:15,520 --> 01:25:19,479
I should mention we have we have
three albums out yeah on Spotify, So

1045
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:23,399
if anyone wants to, you know, check us out and Spotify. It's

1046
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,359
Marvel prone and we've got three albums. The first one is moon Lightning,

1047
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,800
the second one is called She Hits
Me, and the last one we just

1048
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:38,279
released last year. It's called eleven
twenty two. Yep, Yeah, you've

1049
01:25:38,319 --> 01:25:43,039
got I'm looking at band camp now
and you've got the albums plus oh yeah,

1050
01:25:43,039 --> 01:25:44,960
and I should mention we also have
one light. Yeah, we have

1051
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,720
like a mixtape that we did the
RPM Challenge one one time. Oh you

1052
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,640
did? Yeah, so we tried. We recorded an entire wrote and recorded

1053
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:55,439
an entire album in a month.
And this is actually when when I had

1054
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:59,159
different people were in the band at
the times, Megan and Edward were in

1055
01:25:59,239 --> 01:26:04,399
the band, and we all wrote
and recorded an album together Entyler by ourselves,

1056
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:06,960
and that's on band camp. It's
not on Spotify. So if you

1057
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,159
want to hear some deep cuts,
that's go to our band camp. Which

1061
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,560

there was a connection there, if you

1062
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,600

I guess for really yeah, because it

time. Yeah, that's great. I
