Today is Friday, October 11 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,519 twentieth, twenty twenty three, so nice to have you all with me. 12 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,159 We have a great show for you today. Coming up later in the first 13 00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:38,079 hour, we're going to have Eric Pilcher's classic film review and today the subject 14 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:42,359 is Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness, and I've already heard the review. It 15 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:45,799 is excellent. I think Eric's really come a long way with those, to 16 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,599 be honest with you. So that's going to be coming up toward the end 17 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,480 of the first hour, and then in the second hour, we have a 18 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:59,719 great musical guest coming in, which Trot, Which Trot. I just want 19 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,560 to be clear about how I'm saying that, because there's also a band called 20 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,120 witch Rot, but this is not witch Rot. It's witch Trot, So 21 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,159 one word, I guess, I've seen it both one word and two words, 22 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120 so I'll ask. I'll have to ask them when they get here. 23 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,120 But they've got a brand new track, freshly mastered, that we will play, 24 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,560 and of course they're gonna I believe they're gonna play live for us when 25 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,879 they come in, so that will be very cool. That will be coming 26 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,680 up in the second hour. And of course today is Friday, my favorite 27 00:02:28,759 --> 00:02:32,240 day here at WMNH, my favorite day of the week because it's my long 28 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,960 day here and I do love it. So I do this show four to 29 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240 six pm, and then coming up tonight from eight to eleven PM. It's 30 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,479 Retro Spectrum Radio with PAULI C. And I'm the honor and privilege privilege, 31 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,800 I can't speak apparently, I'm so excited about tonight's show I can't even talk 32 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,319 about it. The honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts on 33 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,400 that show along with DJ Steve and and of course I'm Mike from Queen City 34 00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:05,520 Cabinet, one of our great sponsors here at WMNH. And tonight the subject 35 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,680 on that program because every week there's a theme. Well here, I'll just 36 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:12,039 read it to you from social media.

Paul does mute the 46 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,520 mute the audio on Facebook so that we don't get in trouble for that show, 47 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,560 but you can stream it and all it's stereo glory at Wmnhradio dot org. 48 00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:58,639 By the way, so our friend Nick Murdoch is in the Facebook live 49 00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,479 chat and he says we're all lessly devoted to you, Mattie c. Yes, 50 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,039 little song parody I played there, and Nick also said Chris James need 51 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,199 needs to call in again. And it's interesting that you mentioned that, Nick, 52 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,279 because someone made a comment maybe this is you, I don't know. 53 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,040 Someone made a comment on a video posted from a few years ago now, 54 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:26,160 a video that I'd posted on YouTube of a clip of the show, and 55 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,160 this is part of why I played that Chris James clip there, saying John 56 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,639 Hopwood is my daddy. This is pretty funny. So the name of the 57 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,279 clip that I posted on YouTube again this is years ago now, is called 58 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:46,000 Sebastian Gorka and Sam Seeter help Matt Connerton unmask John Hopwood's nemesis Chris James, 59 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:49,240 because in that clip I talk all about how you know, because Chris had 60 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,639 been prank calling the show of course from anyas not even a show. And 61 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,839 he's got a great Patreon channel two that I subscribe to, really great content, 62 00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:03,079 Jenny and I enjoy it tremendously and so but I didn't know. I 63 00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:08,199 didn't know who he was at first, but I figured it out that it 64 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,680 was Chris James, and then we connected and became friends. And someone named 65 00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:18,120 CFTV data commented just the other day, I've been meaning to bring this up 66 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,279 all week, commented on that Facebook I'm sorry on that YouTube video and said, 67 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:28,720 we miss seeing you on an Eas Matt again Anyas not even a show 68 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,759 that's Chris James's show. We miss seeing you on Anyas Matt. To be 69 00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,319 honest, I kind of missed the old days of that show, when there 70 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,759 were more regulars and fewer fake interviews. The vibes were better, a lot 71 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,240 more lighthearted, and you really helped to contribute to that hope all as well. 72 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,839 So, whoever you are, CFTV data, thank you for like I 73 00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:47,879 said, for all, I know that's you, Nick, I don't know. 74 00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:53,519 You don't have to identify yourself of but I thought that was very nice. 75 00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:55,959 I thought that was very nice, And I do miss Chris's calls. 76 00:05:56,199 --> 00:06:01,240 But see I knew back then one I figured out who he was and we 77 00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:04,720 became friends. See that's the irony of it. We became friends, but 78 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,879 then his calls into my program dropped dramatically, and I knew that would happen, 79 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:15,160 because you know, it's not as fun. Part of the joy of 80 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:19,759 prank calling someone is them getting upset, you know, if you get under 81 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:21,879 their skin a little bit, or if you can embarras him in some way. 82 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:30,639 That's part of the joy of such shenanigans and tom foolery. But first 83 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,759 of all, even before I knew who he was, I'm probably the only 84 00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:39,079 I might be the only radio host on all of FM radio in the United 85 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,079 States who actually enjoys prank calls as long as they're clever. As long as 86 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800 they're clever you put a little effort into it, I'll actually go with the 87 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,439 bit. I like that kind of stuff. I think it's fun, I 88 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:55,319 understand the artistry of it, and I really enjoy it, so I wouldn't 89 00:06:55,319 --> 00:07:00,959 get mad. I would actually go with it. And then when he also 90 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:05,600 realized that our politics are somewhat at least in the same I mean, he's 91 00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:11,439 probably to my left, but we're somewhat in the same universe politically. That 92 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,639 also, I think, you know, he would still call the show it's 93 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,160 been a long time though, but he would still call the show, but 94 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,480 he would be more you know, it would be more lighthearted and so forth. 95 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:27,600 But it's been a long time. It's been a long time since Chris 96 00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:31,240 Is called the show. So oh. Nick Murdoch says it is not him 97 00:07:31,519 --> 00:07:34,839 who made that comment on YouTube. Nick says in the chat room, it 98 00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:39,439 isn't me who left you the YouTube comment. I remember a while back when 99 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:44,319 John Hopwood was convinced I was connected to anyas, which I'm not. I 100 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,000 deny it pretty strongly because I don't want to take credit for stuff I don't 101 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,360 do. But I guess so strongly that John is convinced I was trying to 102 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:58,279 hide the truth. Ah. Yes, he thought you doth protest too much. 103 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,759 You know what I'm reminded of of. I'm reminded of in Helsinki when 104 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,639 uh President Trump at the time, when he stood next to U Vladimir Putin 105 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,399 of Russia and uh and said, uh, yeah, I asked him about 106 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,560 election interference, but he denied it. So you know, we're cool. 107 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,199 I'm paraphrasing, but h yes, if you deny something too strongly, that 108 00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,240 might be it. Nick. You might have denied it too strongly. And 109 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:26,680 John Hopwood, who is a very very smart, very perceptive and uh you 110 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,920 know he used to uh. Well, we won't get into his career in 111 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:37,480 his background, but uh uh I can see where he might be suspicious. 112 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,039 But uh, but regardless, while whoevert whoever left that comment, whoever this 113 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,799 person is on YouTube, CFTV data, I appreciate that very much. And 114 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,679 I appreciate you Nick and and everyone I've met through any as uh except for 115 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:58,000 Tom Gully not that guy. I'm kidding. Tom hates me, but it 116 00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,600 is not reciprocal. I actually try to. Uh. I well you've all 117 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,720 heard the story. It was months ago. Now it doesn't matter. I 118 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,120 did try to. I did try to make things up with Tom make, 119 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:09,960 you know, make things up. That's not even an expression. Yeah, 120 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,840 I tried to make things up with him. I called the show and I 121 00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:15,360 just made up stories. No, I tried to. Uh. I tried 122 00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:18,200 to uh clear the air. That would be a better uh. I tried 123 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,399 to do that with Tom, but he was he was not receptive, which 124 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,559 is too bad. You know. I think what it is is he's still 125 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:30,480 jealous that I'm the original green host on uh on not even a show, 126 00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:33,039 and he thinks that, you know, being Stone Green is special, But 127 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:39,279 I'm the original Green. There's only there can only be one original Green host. 128 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,559 But uh, I hope someday, I hope someday Tom and I can 129 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,120 reconnect. I hope that doesn't. I hope my falling out with Tom doesn't 130 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,080 have anything to do with why Chris hasn't called this show in a long time. 131 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,279 I hope not. I certainly hope not. Anyway, Uh, let's 132 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,919 give the numbers. Uh, six oh three two five six seven. The 133 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,639 studio line is open six o three two five seven. You can also text 134 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,480 me at six one seven nine one seven four four seven six. I'm on 135 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,240 social media at Matt Connorton. You can email me Matt at mattconnorton dot com, 136 00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:13,679 and you can interact end Opine in the Facebook live chat and we will 137 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,360 say hello to everyone else in there in just a moment. But the best 138 00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:20,000 thing to do so that we can hear and enjoy your Dulca tones is to 139 00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:24,279 give us a call at six oh three two five six oh seven. Jayfed 140 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,879 says in the chat, did you try and hug him? That seems to 141 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,879 work? Uh? No, I've not tried to do that. Now, 142 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,799 there's two problems with that, Jayfed. One is that Tom is living in 143 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:43,759 Texas, so that's a bit far from the northeast. And the other issue 144 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,519 is, I have to be completely honest with you. Tom doesn't strike me 145 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,840 as a hugger. Now I could be wrong. I don't know Tom in 146 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,240 terms of I've never met him in person. He used to Tom used to 147 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,440 call this show once in a while, and I always really liked uh speaking 148 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,919 with Tom. But the last time, I you know, he brought back 149 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,799 his show recently and I called in and he was very mean to me. 150 00:11:05,279 --> 00:11:09,879 He was also very mean to Jenny in a chat room once. But but 151 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:16,840 but again, the the whatever whatever venom he has, whatever animas he has 152 00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:20,799 to me, it is one way. I mean, if if if Tom 153 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,559 called the show right now and said, hey, it's Tom and now I 154 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,519 want to patch things up, I would be like, well, we could 155 00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:31,799 do a virtual hug. My heart is open, Tom Gully if you're listening, 156 00:11:31,879 --> 00:11:35,480 which you're not because you hate me, but if you are, my 157 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,759 heart is open, Tom Gully, my heart is open. I don't know 158 00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:41,960 why people this is a little bit of a sidebar, and we'll get onto 159 00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,879 some real stuff, because there's plenty of real stuff going on. But I've 160 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,399 never understood why people take things so personally in this realm of radio shows and 161 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:58,600 podcasting, and you know, people get so mad and they take things so 162 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,240 per personally. It's like, this is supposed to be fun. It's weird 163 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,679 to me how angry some people get. I mean, you know, it's 164 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,639 like you try to get around with some people and they're just like, girl, 165 00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:16,279 I'm angry now, and it's like okay, But you know, the 166 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,799 thing is too if you're feuding with someone, if you have like a radio 167 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,360 feud or a podcast feud going, if you play it right, everyone benefits. 168 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,759 Everyone involves benefits because you're drawing attention, You're getting people interested in what 169 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:31,399 you're doing. People like that kind of stuff, people like the drama. 170 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,360 But but no, some people just get er. I'm mad you said something 171 00:12:37,399 --> 00:12:43,440 about me that was vaguely mildly insulting, and now I will hate you forever. 172 00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,360 And I'm not doing this for publicity. I'm genuinely furious with you. 173 00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:50,200 And it's like, okay, dude, well I don't know, I don't 174 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,519 know what your problem is. But life's a little short to be taken. 175 00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:03,240 All of this quite that seriously, that's just my feeling on it. Oh 176 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:05,559 Nick said in the chat room. I know he's called at least once since 177 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,720 all this Tom Gully stuff went down. Yeah, yeah, yeah he has. 178 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,039 Chris has, but not since. But Chris is not called since. 179 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:20,519 I tried to call into Tom Gully's newly rebooted show and tried to smooth things 180 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,120 over with him, and I was very friendly. I called Tom's show. 181 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,559 I think I played the clip on the show. I had to edit it 182 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,240 because Tom, you know, his show is strictly online, so he can 183 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:31,639 have a potty mouth. I can't do that here. I can't have people 184 00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:35,000 swearing, so I had to edit the clip. But I did play the 185 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000 clip on the show of me calling into his show, and I was very 186 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,960 nice and I was like, hey Tom, it's Matt Connorton. And he 187 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,840 immediately swore at me and hung up. Had I tried calling back and he 188 00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:48,279 swore at me again, and it's it's very challenging. You know, my 189 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,759 heart is open, Tom Gully, even though you'll never hear this because you 190 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,519 hate me, but my heart is open, sir. In a platonic way 191 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:03,720 of course, but yeah, what can you do? Nick, says, 192 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,000 shalom, Jenny, he played a bit from Anyas and I mentioned Chris and 193 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:15,639 now he's talking about Tom Gully. Jenny, of course, is in the 194 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,919 chatroom and says, shalom, peeps, whose drama did I miss? I 195 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,480 was talking? So Jenny doesn't even know about this yet. The very nice 196 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:28,360 comment. I'll have to explain it to her later. The very nice comment 197 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,720 that someone left on a YouTube clip about how they miss Chris James calling into 198 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:37,720 the show and I was talking about Tom Gully and my falling out with him 199 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:43,240 and so forth. Speaking of missing people, Scott Robinson in the chat room 200 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:46,840 says, John c. Hopwood has sorely missed on this show. What I 201 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:52,720 would give to hear Matt John and Eric Gagnan in the studio again, Radio 202 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:56,600 Gold. Those shows were, yeah, well John is John is always welcome. 203 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,879 It has been. It's been at least a month since John's been on 204 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,559 the show. And of course ezg now lives in Nashua, so he he 205 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:13,080 calls once in a while to do an entertainment report, but we don't uh, 206 00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:16,320 we don't see him in person these days, unfortunately. But yeah, 207 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,000 those those were fun. Uh, Seohn would get upset with Ezg and uh 208 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,200 it would get a bit rancorous, and uh, that's always fun. Of 209 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:30,399 course, John getting upset with anybody is fun. Uh. Scott says, 210 00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:35,759 not to pile on Matt. But the gentleman from Idaho hates this show also, 211 00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,519 now we were Facebook friends, but he unfriended me after the fallout. 212 00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:48,919 Gentleman from Idaho? Who are you talking about? Because the only person I 213 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,080 know from Idaho is Billy Painter, and Billy and I are friends. Uh, 214 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,879 and we we actually have both a working relationship and a friendship. So 215 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:03,320 is there somebody else from Idaho? Unless you're confusing? Are you conflating Idaho 216 00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:07,080 with Iowa? And you're talking about Eric Pilcher? Did you and Eric Pilcher 217 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,799 have a falling out? I don't know what's going on, but but I 218 00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:14,080 got to know because I have to admit I kind of like the drama myself. 219 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,600 I enjoy it as long as it's you know what it is though, 220 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,039 See, this is why other people get upset and I don't. It's very 221 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,720 easy for me to compartmentalize this stuff where I don't take anything having to do 222 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:30,919 with the show personally and I it's it's just like I can separate the two, 223 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,000 so it's it's never uh, it's never a problem. We have a 224 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,720 call. Hi, welcome to Matt Connorton. Unleash. Who's this? I'm 225 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,000 Robinson, Hey, Scott, what's going on? Maybe one was from Idaho? 226 00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:49,559 I s Gary was from but he gave Eric that that like a a 227 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,679 MacBook or something like that, and Eric sold it. Oh you're talking about 228 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,679 Brian Mackey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Brian, Yeah, wow. 229 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,879 I haven't heard from him in a long time. Last I knew he wasn't 230 00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:07,200 doing very well. He was having some pretty serious struggles. But he kind 231 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,640 of had a falling out with all of us. But Brian's got some Brian's 232 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,359 got some issues. I I uh, I can't say more than that, 233 00:17:15,519 --> 00:17:18,319 but but yeah, now I know who you mean. Was he living in 234 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,440 Idaho? Maybe North Dakotah it was. It wasn't North Dakota, but it 235 00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:26,279 was. It might have been Ida. You might have had it right, 236 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,599 actually, Scott, maybe it was Idaho where Brian lived. I forget. 237 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:34,640 Yeah, I think it. I think no, I think you had it 238 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,359 right. I think it was Idaho. But yeah, Brian Mackie. That's 239 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,680 a that's a name I haven't heard in quite a while. But but now 240 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,440 it makes sense because Brian kind of had a falling out with everybody who listens 241 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,039 to the show. It's kind of odd on the Facebook. And then all 242 00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:55,119 of a sudden he was gone. So I know, I just thought it 243 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,079 was I'm just not the pylon, Matt. But you know what, if 244 00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:02,400 you're not having controversy, you're not doing it right. That's right, thank 245 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,359 you, Scott. Yes, I agree, I agree Controversy Creates Cash, 246 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,519 which is a great book by Eric Bischoff. You know what they say, 247 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,480 there's no such thing as bad publicity. Yeah, although, well that's although 248 00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:18,319 it's that's not really exactly true. I've never liked that expression, only because 249 00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:22,680 there are actually a lot of examples where there is such a thing as very 250 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,039 bad publicity. But but yes, you know, but basically, yes, 251 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,400 the the general idea is is valid. You know, as long as they 252 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,279 spell your name right, as they say, as long as they're talking about 253 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,119 you, then at least you're at least you know you're relevant, which is 254 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,880 important. That is very correct. Yes, all right, you take care 255 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,400 of yourself and have a great weekend. All right, Scott, you two 256 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,599 man, great hear from you. Take care, bye bye, all right, 257 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,599 the wonderful Scott Robinson, Scott's very most days, actually is in the 258 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,720 chat room. Uh, loyal listener, but it's rare that he actually calls 259 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,720 the show. So Scott, very nice. Hear from you, my friend, 260 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,799 preciate the call. Eric Pilcher is in the chatroom and says, if 261 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:06,240 you don't have haters, you ain't popping. I think the young people say 262 00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,920 that. I think Dj Reckless said that yesterday when he was here. Uh, 263 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,599 if you don't have haters, you ain't popping. Six three two five 264 00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:17,759 six seven. The studio line is open if you would like to join us. 265 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,759 Uh, six three two five six seven.

Melanie Liberty, also 273 00:19:47,759 --> 00:19:49,519 from Vermont, says, Hey, guys, I promise to be less feisty 274 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,359 today. Melanie.

Hi Crystal. Oh. 278 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,880 Nick Murdoch says, oh crap, I'm gonna have to go through these show 279 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:21,039 archives and see what happened.

I like free and open dialogue. 286 00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,240 Of course, in the chat room you can say things you can't actually say 287 00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:04,559 on the air. Let's see. Isaac Banks joins us in the chat room, 288 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,960 of course, from I believe if I'm not mistaken. From Greensboro, 289 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:17,839 North Carolina says hello, hashtag everyone, let's see I just want to make 290 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:27,079 sure we don't miss anybody in here.

Yes, I actually was hearing that on my way in 293 00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:45,920 in the car. Two American hostages have been released by Hamas. Let's see 294 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,920 here. I want to make sure we don't miss anybody else in here. 295 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,920 Carol zo Warwitz joins us in the chat room. Hello Carol, nice to 296 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,480 see you in there. And Paul See joins us in the Facebook live chat 297 00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:02,000 of course. Poly See from retrospect from radio with Policy. I did plug 298 00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:07,720 that earlier tonight. The subject is dreams on retro Spectrum Radio. I wonder 299 00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:11,559 if we'll hear a little dream Weaver, dream Weaver blah blah blah. I 300 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:17,880 don't know the rest of the words. Sorry for singing. I just feel 301 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,160 like I should apologize for singing. Actually, I could avoid that entirely by 302 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,240 just not singing. It's a great song, though, isn't it, dream 303 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:37,680 Weaver? So there is news just in the last couple of hours. By 304 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,599 I don't know if you all have noticed, if you've been paying attention to 305 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,440 what's going on in the the House of Representatives. Melanie says, you should 306 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,559 apologize. Hey, I thought you were going to be less feisty today. 307 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,240 No, I'm kidding. You can be as fisty as you like. The 308 00:22:52,720 --> 00:23:00,920 uh, this, this mess in the House of Representatives just continues. When 309 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,000 we talked about it on the show yesterday, actually we didn't have much time 310 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,920 to get into it yesterday. I was a busy show. But I know 311 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,319 that when we were talking about it the day before, you know, we 312 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:15,680 were in a place where Jim Jordan was trying to become the next speaker and 313 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:18,240 it didn't look like it was going to work out. And now it's definitely 314 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:25,799 not going to work out. The Republican caucus in the House has said never 315 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:33,000 mind, So now somebody else is going to run. But there's also this 316 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,319 idea that we've definitely did talk about this week or maybe at the end of 317 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,559 last week. Definitely this week. Patrick McHenry, who by the way, 318 00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:45,079 is only forty seven years old, which surprised me because his hair is completely 319 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,079 white he's kind of got that Steve Martin thing where his hair went totally white 320 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:55,160 at a young age. But there is this possibility of Patrick McHenry, who 321 00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:02,920 is the Speaker pro tem, becoming well, not actually becoming speaker, but 322 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:08,519 they would vote to increase his power so that he could actually conduct House business 323 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:15,559 as the speaker without actually being the speaker. There is both a potential advantage 324 00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:19,960 but also a problem, a big roadblock to that. The advantage being there 325 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,559 is nothing in the House rules that says a speaker pro tem can be vacated 326 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,960 unlike a speaker. So in theory, he could just go about conducting business 327 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:38,839 if he has given these additional temporary powers without the constant threat of somebody like 328 00:24:38,839 --> 00:24:45,039 Matt Gates saying, hey, let's vacate the speakership. There's a problem though, 329 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,599 that I learned about today that I didn't even realize. And the problem 330 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,799 is this, until there is a House speaker, this is quite the catch 331 00:24:52,799 --> 00:25:00,559 twenty two. Until there is a House speaker, nothing else can be voted 332 00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:07,480 on except voting on a new speaker. Why is that a problem? I 333 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,279 mean, aside from the fact that it's effectively paralyzed the legislative branch of our 334 00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:17,880 government. The obvious. But why else is that a problem. Well, 335 00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:23,079 here's the thing. If you want to give Patrick McHenry some additional temporary powers 336 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,160 as speaker pro TEMs so he can hold votes and you know, do the 337 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:32,640 things a speaker would do if we had an actual functioning government instead of this 338 00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:38,519 mess, the only thing you can technically vote on without a speaker is getting 339 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:45,759 a speaker, which means you can't vote on giving Patrick McHenry additional powers. 340 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:52,880 If you want to give him additional temporary powers other than conducting votes on who's 341 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,880 going to be speaker and getting to bang that gavel, which he seems to 342 00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:59,240 really like to do. He's into it. He likes to hit that gavel, 343 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,839 you can't do. You see the problem here. You have to vote 344 00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:11,960 to do that, to give him additional powers, But you can't vote to 345 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:18,319 give him additional powers until you have voted and successfully elected a new speaker. 346 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:26,039 So we're just we're even more stuck here than I realized until today. Now 347 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:32,640 there is one fix to that problem, and that is just ignore the rule 348 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:38,400 and just go ahead and say, because what else can they do? They 349 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,880 don't have anybody who can get to two seventeen from what we've seen so far. 350 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,720 Now there is somebody new who has entered the contest who we'll get to 351 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:56,119 if we have time. We're probably not gonna have time, but there might 352 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,799 not be anyone who can get to two seventeen. So the only way to 353 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,880 fix this, my be, might very well be to give Patrick McHenry those 354 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,079 additional powers and do kind of a bipartisan power sharing thing, which they've talked 355 00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:14,839 about and the Democrats are open to, and McHenry would probably be acceptable and 356 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,319 palatable for that, except you can't do it because you can't vote on it, 357 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,680 because the only thing you can vote on is electing a speaker. It's 358 00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:29,759 this impossible situation. So they're going to have to ignore that rule. They're 359 00:27:29,799 --> 00:27:33,920 going to have to just I don't there's no work around to that that I 360 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,640 know of, that's already within the existing rules. The House can change the 361 00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:42,440 rules, they can vote on rules changes and change the rules, but again 362 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:48,160 they can't vote technically, according to the rules as they're presently written, they 363 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:55,119 can't vote on anything until they elect a speaker. So, you know, 364 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,680 sometimes we throw this around as a bit of a cliche, this uh, 365 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,799 you know, we talked about our government is broken, our politics is broken, 366 00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:12,599 but it really is, you know what I mean, It's not just 367 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,160 a cliche. Look at this mess, look at this terrible situation that we're 368 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,519 in, and it's so bad for the country. It's not just bad for 369 00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:25,799 the Republican Party because they look like they, you know, can't govern. 370 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,200 I mean they at a lot of republic This isn't just me saying this, 371 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,759 by the way, a lot of Republicans are saying this, waking up to 372 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:36,200 this reality. They have definitely they have given away. I won't even say 373 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,440 they have lost. They have given away the House in twenty twenty four. 374 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,200 There is no way with all of this going on, there is no way 375 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:49,480 they maintain control of the House in twenty twenty four. It cannot happen. 376 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,200 It cannot happen. Look, Republicans will vote Republican, Democrats will vote Democrat, 377 00:28:56,279 --> 00:29:02,920 but independence swing voters, none of them are looking at any of this 378 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,119 and going, oh, yeah, you know, the Republicans, they really 379 00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:11,440 seem to have it together. We should we should keep them in control. 380 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,519 I mean, this is We've never seen anything like this ever ever in our 381 00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:22,000 history. Have we ever seen this level of dysfunction in the House of Representatives. 382 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:29,839 Kevin McCarthy was the first speaker to ever be ousted. And you know, 383 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,319 and I've I've talked about it, uh this week, well last week 384 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,559 too. I mean, it's been two weeks of this madness, right, 385 00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:44,400 I think maybe a little more than two weeks of this, And I've said, 386 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,359 you know, I've I've added some nuance to it. I've said, 387 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:52,480 I also I also partly blame the Democrats because they could have put politics aside 388 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:56,480 and maybe swallowed some pride and and and stepped up and saved Kevin McCarthy. 389 00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:02,920 And I understand all the reasons that they did, I do understand, but 390 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,799 I wish they had kind of maybe seen past some of that and and for 391 00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:11,440 the good of the country said Okay, well, we don't like Kevin McCarthy, 392 00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:14,599 we don't trust Kevin McCarthy, Let's be honest. He's kind of a 393 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,920 d bag. Even a lot of Republicans think so. But at least we 394 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,480 know he thinks government shutdowns are bad, and he definitely definitely thinks the possibility 395 00:30:23,559 --> 00:30:27,640 of ever going over the fiscal cliff and defaulting is very bad. He understands 396 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,720 those things. Some of these House Republicans do not understand those things. Let's 397 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,839 stick with the guy who understands those things, as gross as he might be. 398 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,359 For lack of a better way of putting it, Well, there's a 399 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,119 lot of other things I could say, but that I'm really not allowed to 400 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:51,079 in this venue of terrestrial radio. But but I do wish that they had 401 00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:57,079 saved McCarthy. But here's the thing, though, So those of us who 402 00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:00,799 analyze politics and think about it a little deeper, and we look at it 403 00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:06,079 from different angles, you know, we might realize that and we might say, 404 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,920 well, this is blamed to go around. The problem. At the 405 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,799 heart of it is the dysfunction of the Republicans in the House. But the 406 00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:15,880 Democrats could have saved the situation and they chose not to. So there's a 407 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,960 little bit of blame to go around. But the average American who does not 408 00:31:21,079 --> 00:31:23,799 pay as close attention to all of this as some of us do, they're 409 00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:29,839 looking at this and they're just seeing these bumbling, clueless, Keystone cop Republicans 410 00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:34,000 who I heard Scarborough say today on MSNBC, you know they couldn't they couldn't 411 00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:40,000 get it together to make a bowl of oatmeal. Let alone, you know, 412 00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:45,160 keep our government functioning. So so yeah, I mean they've given away 413 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,119 the House in twenty twenty four. But I'm very worried what happens at the 414 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,720 end of this current term if well, actually what happens on what is it 415 00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:57,160 November seventeenth, when once again we'll be staring down the barrel of a government 416 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,279 shut down, which of course costs the economy billions of dollars every time we 417 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:07,920 have one. But just very very quickly, and then we got to get 418 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,440 to Eric's film review, and then we've got guests coming in the second hour. 419 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:15,359 But Politico, I was just looking up this. Who is Patrick McHenry? 420 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,279 It says here, Well, actually, this is the interesting part. 421 00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:25,480 How did he get here? How did Patrick McHenry get to be the Speaker 422 00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:30,680 pro tem? It says here, you're going to read that the eighteen year 423 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,319 House veteran is the adult in the room compared to other GOP hardliners, a 424 00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:39,400 pragmatist who's ready to govern, and even as Democrats clamoring for him to run 425 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:47,000 the House. But it wasn't always that way. Oh, I thought this 426 00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:51,599 talked about maybe it was a different article. I was looking at this talks 427 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,960 more about his background. I think it says he's close to them. He 428 00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:58,440 used to be very conservative, but now he's closer to the middle of the 429 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:05,799 party. There was something else I was reading that explained apparently the reason he 430 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,240 ended up in this position, because I was never even aware of Patrick McHenry 431 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,680 before all of this. Apparently he ended up in this position because he was 432 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:21,480 on some secret list that was put together by Kevin McCarthy of who could step 433 00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:25,440 up and be the Speaker pro temp if something happened to McCarthy, Because McCarthy 434 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,039 knew that something was going to happen, and he picked Patrick McHenry. So 435 00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:35,039 it's because of Kevin McCarthy. Maybe because you know a couple of Irish guys 436 00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:38,880 I don't know their names, both start with mc. But because of Kevin 437 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:45,160 McCarthy, that's how Patrick McHenry ended up in this position, and who knows. 438 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,880 I think they should just make him the speaker. Why not just make 439 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,920 him if he's acceptable enough to everyone, even some of the Democrats, to 440 00:33:53,160 --> 00:34:00,559 potentially be a Speaker protemp but with enhanced powers powers of the Speaker, why 441 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:02,640 not just make him the new House Speaker. Just vote on that. Maybe 442 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,599 he can get to two seventeen. But they got to find a way out 443 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,480 of this mess. This is really, really, really bad. All right, 444 00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:12,559 here's what we're gonna do. It's about a quarter of to the top 445 00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:15,920 of the hour, so we're gonna get to Eric Pilchri's Classic Film review and 446 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,880 then after that we'll show some love to our amazing sponsors, and then we're 447 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,800 gonna get our guests in here. I see musicians in the hallway. But 448 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,800 so we got a lot, a lot coming up, so don't go anywhere. 449 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,559 Plenty more show to come, but here it is. This is Eric's 450 00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:35,719 review is Classic film review of Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness. This is really 451 00:34:35,760 --> 00:35:00,719 good. Check this out. My name is Ed and I am a slave 452 00:35:05,519 --> 00:35:07,199 close as I can figure at. The year is thirteen hundred eight, and 453 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:13,440 I'm being a drag in my death. It wasn't always like this. I 454 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:27,480 had a real life at once a job hardware al twelve chop smart job smart. 455 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:34,840 I had a wonderful girlfriend, Linda. Together we drove to a small 456 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:42,840 cabin in the mountains. It seems an archaeologist to come to this remote place 457 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:50,440 to translate and study his latest fine acronomicon ex mortis the Book of the Dead, 458 00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:58,000 found in human flesh and ink in blood. This ancient Sumerian text contained 459 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:05,960 bizarre burial rights, funerary incantations, and demon resurrection passages. It was never 460 00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:09,280 meant for the world of the living. The book awoke something dark in the 461 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:22,280 woods. It took Linda, and then it came from me. I got 462 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,199 into my hand and went back, so I locked it off at the wrist. 463 00:36:32,119 --> 00:37:06,480 But that didn't stop it. It came back big time. In nineteen 464 00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:14,360 eighty one, a little heralded independent supernatural horror film about a group of college 465 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:20,559 students camping in rural Tennessee that find the Necromonicon otherwise known as the Book of 466 00:37:20,559 --> 00:37:27,719 the Dead and unwittingly bring forth demons from mal that take their lives, captivated 467 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:32,000 audiences. However, at the end of that film there was one survivor. 468 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:38,760 That survivor would go on to star in two additional sequels and a cable television 469 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:45,840 series. It is the third film of the series that is most known and 470 00:37:45,079 --> 00:37:52,599 our subject for this week's Classic Film review. Directed by Sam Raimi, released 471 00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:58,440 in nineteen ninety three, Army of Darkness is the third film in the Evil 472 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:05,039 Dead series The film continues directly where nineteen eighty seven's Evil Dead two left off. 473 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,559 Our everyman hero Ash Williams Bruce Campbell, in his career defining role, 474 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,960 is transported through a demonic portal to medieval times. We're in order to get 475 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,480 back home, he must retrieve the Necromonicon, but in doing so unwittingly Unleash's 476 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:29,840 demons of Hell onto the land and must help the Kingdom ward them off in 477 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:37,159 a climactic final battle. Our opening clip was the voiceover that starts this film. 478 00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:43,599 Ash explains the story of the past two films and where he is at 479 00:38:43,639 --> 00:38:49,239 now. Our next clip sets Ash up as an unlikely hero of the Kingdom 480 00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:54,920 after defeating the infamous Pit Witch, where he was thrown into a pit to 481 00:38:55,079 --> 00:39:02,360 die. He uses his unknown technology to the people a shotgun lovingly known as 482 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:07,800 his boomstick, to ward off the Witch and gets the people of the Kingdom 483 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:21,519 to rally behind him and get him home. For that arrogance, I shall 484 00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:36,800 see you dead. Yeah, all right, Two primitive screwheads, listen up, 485 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:47,559 see this this is my bookstick The Twelve Gays double billed Remington s Mart's 486 00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:52,280 top of the line. You can find us in the sporting goods department. 487 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:57,159 That's right. This week baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan, retails 488 00:39:57,159 --> 00:40:00,599 for about one hundred nine to ninety five.

Now, I swear the next one of you 491 00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:50,320 primates even touches me. Now, let's talk about how I get back home. 492 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,039 It could be argued, and I would even get behind the argument that 493 00:40:55,079 --> 00:41:00,280 the original Evil Dead is one of the greatest cult classics ever. A great 494 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:06,280 deal of the credit has to go to Campbell in his performance of Ash. 495 00:41:06,639 --> 00:41:10,920 This is because, in a way, like many great movie characters, Ash 496 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,440 can be seen as all of us. We have all been in positions where 497 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:23,039 situations of possible heroism or the requirement to help have been thrust upon us, 498 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:29,519 and we have to accept it against our own intuition. That is Ash in 499 00:41:29,559 --> 00:41:35,360 a nutshell. Our next two clips show. This first is a short clip 500 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:42,320 that has Ash being given specific instructions on what words to say by the village 501 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,599 wizard, the great Ian Abercrombie, better known as mister Pitt from the great 502 00:41:46,639 --> 00:41:53,079 TV series Seinfeld and the words are a homage to the original The Day the 503 00:41:53,159 --> 00:42:00,079 Earth stood still. Ash proclaims he will remember those words. But then our 504 00:42:00,119 --> 00:42:07,239 next clip shows us that despite Ash's best intentions, he once again, through 505 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:14,840 his own inability to do things the right way, brings dadites onto the world, 506 00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:19,679 and that is due to his own dim witted nature. This path will 507 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,159 lead you to an unholy place, a cemetery. They're the necronomica that waits. 508 00:42:29,199 --> 00:42:31,280 When now retrieves the book from its cradle, you must recite the words 509 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:42,880 platu verrata nickto, clatu verrata nto. Okay, well repeat them clatu verrata 510 00:42:43,119 --> 00:42:46,039 nickto again. I got it, I got it. I know your damn 511 00:42:46,039 --> 00:42:53,639 words all right now. Ash attempts to recite the words when he retrieves the 512 00:42:53,760 --> 00:43:05,679 necromonicon. Wait a minute, the words right right right, say the words 513 00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:27,960 plantu veranda mm hmm, necktie nectar nicole nod said word. It's definitely didn't 514 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:53,480 worded, definitely an in words plateau aranda. Okay, then that's it. 515 00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:25,039 M hm okay, everything's I said to work like whoa. This film is 516 00:44:25,199 --> 00:44:32,239 such a phenomenal array of genres. It has comedy. This is largely due 517 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:38,920 to Ash and his many quotable one liners. It has horror, science fiction, 518 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:47,639 fantasy, action, and even old style special effects that will even warm 519 00:44:47,679 --> 00:44:53,440 the heart of the most hardened cinemaphile. With so many elements of film at 520 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:59,440 play, it's easy to see why so many, no matter what they are 521 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,960 a fan of of, simply adore this film to this day. This film 522 00:45:05,039 --> 00:45:09,760 lives on you. Hear ashes quotes regularly. Hail to the King, baby, 523 00:45:10,559 --> 00:45:16,119 groovy, you got really ugly, really quick, that was only pillow 524 00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:22,039 talk baby, and this is my boomstick, among many others, are a 525 00:45:22,119 --> 00:45:29,159 part of pop culture vernacular to this day. Campbell is one of the most 526 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:35,079 highly regarded and best beloved B movie actors of all time, a role he 527 00:45:35,199 --> 00:45:42,079 relishes and welcomes at comic book and film conventions to this day. That is 528 00:45:42,199 --> 00:45:46,599 why this film is a classic. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It 529 00:45:46,679 --> 00:45:53,280 doesn't allow itself to get put into one genre. Forget about talking about awards, 530 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:59,480 box office numbers, or even critical analysis. If you want a great 531 00:45:59,519 --> 00:46:05,840 film that serves anything you're in the mood for, this is that film that 532 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,159 will do that for you. It is one of the best films to watch, 533 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:15,440 and much like all the films covered this month, the time of year 534 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:20,800 does not matter. I hope you join me next week when we conclude our 535 00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,679 Halloween slate of films, within my opinion, the greatest slasher film of all 536 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:35,239 time, John Carpenter's Halloween. To close this week's review and a rarity for 537 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,920 classic film reviews, I want to share the final scene of Army of Darkness 538 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:47,199 and let Ash have the final word and for you the audience, to hear 539 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:55,280 how once again Ash is ineptness brings doom to the world.

Uh huh, But my place is here, 543 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,280 So I swallowed the Jews said the words, and here I am. Did 544 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,880 you say the words right this time? Well? Maybe I didn't say every 545 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:31,360 single, tiny little syllable no, but basically I said him, Yeah, 546 00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:39,559 basically you know that story about how you could have been king? Yuh? 547 00:47:39,920 --> 00:48:19,199 I think it's kind of cute. Yeah, lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna 548 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:47,440 have to ask you to leave the store. Good name's that housewares.

We're going to introduce our great musical 607 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:42,639 guests. So we have on the couch Matt Collier and you are from the 608 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:47,280 band Witch Trot. Yes, and is it by the way, is it 609 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,159 one word or two? I can't. I can't figure out online if it's 610 00:54:51,199 --> 00:54:55,639 one word or two depends on the month. Yeah, it is one word, 611 00:54:55,920 --> 00:55:00,519 but is the is the second syllable also capitalized? Ye? Oh? 612 00:55:00,599 --> 00:55:02,159 Okay, so I got it right then in the Facebook post I made earlier. 613 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:06,639 That's good. That's good. So we have Matt Collier is here and 614 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,840 Edward McPherson. Am I saying last name correctly? That is how it's pronounced. 615 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,119 Very impressed that you got it right the first time, because a lot 616 00:55:13,159 --> 00:55:17,440 of people don't. What do people usually say McPherson. They usually say McPherson. 617 00:55:17,639 --> 00:55:22,800 As far as I understand it, I think McPherson is the Irish way 618 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:27,719 and McPherson is the Scottish way. Oh, I think that's it. So 619 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:35,880 you're a Scottish of Scottish descent and Scottish people get upset if you say things 620 00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:38,119 the Irish way, right and assume it's the same, because it's not the 621 00:55:38,159 --> 00:55:42,719 same. You're different. At that point, you're in over my head. 622 00:55:44,159 --> 00:55:49,039 See I'm Irish, so I understand these things. But by the way, 623 00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:52,079 you guys are getting some love in the Facebook live chat already. Let's see 624 00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:57,280 we have Adam Jocelyn from able Blood.

You do have a unique voice. 665 01:00:36,119 --> 01:00:38,719 Your your uh, your vocal delivery is very raw, but but I like 666 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:44,239 it. Thank you? How I mean? Is there anyone who inspires you 667 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:49,039 vocally that you kind of try to sound like or or or who has influenced 668 01:00:49,039 --> 01:00:52,239 the way that you sing because it is it is unique. Yeah, it's 669 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:58,480 definitely a lot of the grunge nineties music like Kirk Obain, Kavin Rossdale. 670 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:06,280 Yeah yeah, Pete Hamilton from Helmet, those are my vocal influences. Yeah, 671 01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,800 yeah, very cool. Now, now the two of you is is 672 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,920 are the two of you witch Trot? Or are there other members? Because 673 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,400 I know I saw I saw at least one video online, a live video 674 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:20,159 where it was just the two of you. Yeah, right now, it's 675 01:01:20,199 --> 01:01:25,639 the two of us. We've had my girlfriend Ed's sister Meghan fill in on 676 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:32,159 bass for us for some shows. Yeah, great band. Yeah, so 677 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:38,159 but for right now, like just the two of us. And uh now, 678 01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:40,679 how long have the two of you been in the span? Like, 679 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,039 are you both original members of witch Trot? No, but I've been in 680 01:01:45,159 --> 01:01:51,119 the band for about four years now. Oh okay, so but no, 681 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,400 Matt's been Matt's had this thing going since he was like god sixteen or something. 682 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:59,400 Yeah, okay, okay. And then how did the two of you 683 01:01:59,559 --> 01:02:05,280 meet and come to work together through the Stone Church? Yeah, it was 684 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:09,920 through a through a mutual acquaintance the guitarist of a band I was formerly in 685 01:02:10,039 --> 01:02:14,280 called Marvel Prone. Oh, Marvel Prone. Wait a minute, have you 686 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:15,880 been here before? I have not? You have? You have not? 687 01:02:16,039 --> 01:02:22,400 They have? I left that band a year inge ago? Okay, I'm 688 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:22,920 like, because you said that, I'm like, wait a minute, have 689 01:02:23,039 --> 01:02:27,559 we have we met before? No? It's funny how you know the scene, 690 01:02:27,599 --> 01:02:30,679 it's like this, it's a so many people move around in different bands. 691 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:35,280 Okay, so you were in Marvel Prone. Interesting, I was in 692 01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:42,079 Marvel Prone, and I believe Rayner, the band leader of Marvel Prone, 693 01:02:42,079 --> 01:02:45,320 and Matt met each other at the Stone Church sometime and Matt mentioned that he 694 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,800 needed a drummer. So, okay, put us in contact with each other. 695 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,519 Oh cool? Cool? And then so now what about so you had 696 01:02:54,519 --> 01:03:00,119 a bass player? Did you have a regular bass player before Meghan or a 697 01:03:00,159 --> 01:03:04,719 while? Yeah? Yep? Okay? And then how long were they in 698 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,800 the band? Two years? Two years? Yeah? So now do so, 699 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,159 but you guys do some shows where it's just the two of you if 700 01:03:12,199 --> 01:03:15,039 Megan's not available or how does that work? I think we have done that 701 01:03:15,159 --> 01:03:17,440 before. Yeah, because I'm pretty sure, Like I said, I'm pretty 702 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,000 sure. I saw a YouTube video where it's just the two of you. 703 01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:22,480 And I think somebody whoever posted it put in the description something about, uh, 704 01:03:23,159 --> 01:03:25,559 even even without a bass player, of these guys rock or something, 705 01:03:25,639 --> 01:03:30,000 or maybe it was one of the comments in the video. But I feel 706 01:03:30,039 --> 01:03:35,320 like that happened once. It's kind of I feel like you could say playing 707 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,440 with a bass player is a is best practice. Yeah, but I think 708 01:03:37,719 --> 01:03:40,000 once in a pinch, we did do it just the two of us. 709 01:03:40,239 --> 01:03:45,400 Yeah. Yeah, I mean there's there's others that have that have done it 710 01:03:45,519 --> 01:03:47,840 and and made it work, but yeah, there's there's nothing quite like having 711 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:51,840 you know, you want to have that bottom end if you if you can, 712 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,079 you know, like I saw Local h once in Boston years ago, 713 01:03:55,199 --> 01:03:58,760 and uh, but it's obvious, you know, it was just the two 714 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:00,800 guys, but it was obvious, said I can't remember his name for the 715 01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,000 life of me. The guitar player, you know that he he had an 716 01:04:04,039 --> 01:04:09,199 effect that you know, gave him extra bottom end. And I've I've I've 717 01:04:09,239 --> 01:04:14,159 seen bands do that, not very many, but now so, so how 718 01:04:14,239 --> 01:04:15,920 long has the band been around total? Because because you said you've been you've 719 01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,800 been doing it for but was there another drummer before Edward. Yeah, there 720 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:27,639 were some other projects a little different from witch Trot that I had started up, 721 01:04:28,159 --> 01:04:33,159 but witch Trot was fairly new when ed joined. Okay maybe six months 722 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,320 Okay, yeah I didn't even know that. Yeah, yeah, so I 723 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:42,400 had it was. It was pretty much similar genres, but just different band 724 01:04:42,519 --> 01:04:46,360 names. But I I separate Witch Trot from that. Yeah, it's different. 725 01:04:46,679 --> 01:04:51,360 Yeah. Fredo was in the Facebook live chat. Uh. Yeah, 726 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,199 I was gonna say, you guys must know Fredo. Everybody a right. 727 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,679 I do enjoy I oh, absolutely absolutely. Fredo has been on the show 728 01:04:59,679 --> 01:05:01,039 a number of times. I do enjoy saying his full name when I see 729 01:05:01,079 --> 01:05:05,559 him in the chat room. Alfredo Enrique Benevitez. But yeah, Dank Sinatra, 730 01:05:05,719 --> 01:05:10,639 Cosmic Blossom, great great stuff, you know, and he posts a 731 01:05:10,679 --> 01:05:14,480 lot of solo videos too. That it's just such a such an enormously talented 732 01:05:14,559 --> 01:05:16,599 guy, really good on the show too. We gotta get him, get 733 01:05:16,679 --> 01:05:19,559 him back on. Yeah, Ronda Favera, you know, when I was 734 01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:24,960 asking you about your vocal style, Ronda from our friend from California, she 735 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,239 said, kind of reminds her of Nirvana, So that makes sense. Yeah, 736 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:35,039 are you are you self taught vocally or yeah, yeah, what about 737 01:05:35,079 --> 01:05:38,480 now? What about on guitar? You ever take lessons or are you self 738 01:05:38,519 --> 01:05:41,559 taught? I haven't take lessons, Yeah I was self taught. Wow. 739 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,000 Yeah that always. That always impresses me. How about you, Edward? 740 01:05:45,079 --> 01:05:50,079 On the drums, I had drum lessons for like two years, like the 741 01:05:50,199 --> 01:05:54,400 first year I played, and then I went a few years without. Yeah, 742 01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,039 then I took lessons for another year. I've been playing for like eleven 743 01:05:58,119 --> 01:06:00,760 years, so I had lessons for two of them. Okay, okay. 744 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,559 I like to think I'm pretty good at self teaching. Yeah, like like 745 01:06:04,679 --> 01:06:10,679 actually working on things and not just screwing around. Right right, that's good? 746 01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:14,760 And uh, are you in any other bands? Because most drummers I 747 01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,639 meet are in like ten different bands because there's just not a lot of drummers 748 01:06:17,719 --> 01:06:23,440 around. I've been there, homie. Yeah, I'm currently in one other 749 01:06:23,559 --> 01:06:29,800 band, a metalcore band from Newmarket called Proelium. Actually, the guitarist of 750 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,039 Proelium, a dude named Darius, was the drummer of witch Trot before I 751 01:06:33,239 --> 01:06:39,400 was Oh no kidding, yeah, oh wow. So it's all so it's 752 01:06:39,599 --> 01:06:42,800 the music scene. It's like incestuous in a way. Yeah, but but 753 01:06:43,039 --> 01:06:46,400 but not in that way, you know what I mean. I mean, 754 01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,360 we are in the Northeast after all, so but uh no, but uh 755 01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:56,400 yeah, So that's interesting. So the reason I say that is the reason 756 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,119 I asked that, is there's just been a trend where, like I have 757 01:06:59,519 --> 01:07:01,920 these bands and everybody's drummer is in like multiple bands. And I have a 758 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,599 theory about that. I think it's because when you're growing up and you first 759 01:07:05,639 --> 01:07:10,079 start getting interested in playing a musical instrument, and you have to kind of 760 01:07:10,119 --> 01:07:12,039 have the talk with your parents like, hey, I want to take up 761 01:07:12,039 --> 01:07:16,280 an instrument. If you express an interest in the drums, your parents are 762 01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,400 probably going to try to talk you out of that and say, well, 763 01:07:18,519 --> 01:07:21,559 how about guitar or something, you know, something where you're not going to 764 01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:29,280 be making a lot of noise. So what that ends up happening is you 765 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,039 end up with just not a lot of drummers around because you know, parents 766 01:07:32,079 --> 01:07:35,480 don't want their kids growing up playing drums and making all that noise. That's 767 01:07:35,559 --> 01:07:39,559 my theory. Anyway, bass players tend to be in high demand too, 768 01:07:39,599 --> 01:07:43,239 but I think drummers especially, Yeah, I think your theory is pretty spot 769 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,960 on for drummers. I think for bass players it's just because everybody wants to 770 01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,440 play guitar. Guitarists get the glory. Yeah, yeah, you know most 771 01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:56,039 bands have a guitarist playing bass. Really right. Well, it's funny because 772 01:07:56,199 --> 01:07:59,559 I so I'm a bass player, but I started out on guitar when I 773 01:07:59,639 --> 01:08:02,760 was a kid. I took guitar lessons and never took a bass lesson. 774 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,440 But I took guitar lessons. But unfortunately, I was one of those kind 775 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:10,920 of lazy kids that if I wasn't good at something really fast, I would 776 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:15,359 get discouraged. And so I was getting discouraged with the guitar and I wasn't 777 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,560 putting the work in to really practice it. And then when I was in 778 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,920 high school, I picked up a bass, you know, just hanging out 779 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:27,079 with some friends playing music. And bass players hate when I say this, 780 01:08:27,279 --> 01:08:30,399 but it's just the reality of it. I picked up a bass and I 781 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,640 said, oh, two fewer strings and I don't have to learn any chords. 782 01:08:34,079 --> 01:08:39,159 I think I found my instrument, and but yeah, I mean it 783 01:08:39,239 --> 01:08:41,119 worked out. I went on to you know, I played in a bunch 784 01:08:41,159 --> 01:08:45,079 of bands, and so I did find my instrument, but it kind of 785 01:08:45,199 --> 01:08:47,760 sucks that it happened the way that it did because it was out of my 786 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,520 own laziness. But it's true though, And bass players hate when I say 787 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,560 that because it, you know, it makes it sound like, oh, 788 01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,880 the bass is easy and to play. It's not easy to play the bass 789 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:01,159 really well. But if you just want to be you know what I always 790 01:09:01,199 --> 01:09:03,680 say. I was never good, but I was always good enough. And 791 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,399 bass players being in not as high demand as drummers, but in sort of 792 01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,399 high demand, you know, you end up playing you can you can be 793 01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,560 just okay and end up in a buns. I was in a bunch of 794 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,840 different bands at once, actually, but but yeah, drummers, I mean, 795 01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:24,680 so many drummers who were just in just in tons of bands. Uh 796 01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:30,520 So maybe we should maybe we should talk about this more after we play the 797 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,680 single. But I don't want to forget to ask you this in terms of 798 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:39,119 influences, Edward, I when I was listening to the you know, because 799 01:09:39,159 --> 01:09:41,600 Matt sent me the single earlier that we're going to play in a couple of 800 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,560 minutes. Well, first of all, overall, I got kind of a 801 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,159 Sabbath vibe from it, and I definitely got a bill Ward vibe from your 802 01:09:49,239 --> 01:09:57,359 drumming, and I'm curious is he an influence of yours or that's a that's 803 01:09:57,359 --> 01:10:00,199 an interesting question. I think your your pills, your drum fills remind me 804 01:10:00,279 --> 01:10:03,239 a lot of Bill Ward, and he's one of my favorites. So it's 805 01:10:03,319 --> 01:10:06,239 you know, it's please take it as a compliment. Oh, I absolutely 806 01:10:06,359 --> 01:10:12,520 do. I love Black Sabbath, Yeah, always have. I don't consider 807 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:17,359 bill Ward specifically an influence, but I do consider that kind of music and 808 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:23,479 Black Sabbath's contemporaries to be a great influence. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, 809 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,880 Well what are tell me about? Who are some of your influences? Really? 810 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,399 I'm just a sucker for all of the great prog rock drummers. Yeah, 811 01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:39,399 Neil Peart, Phil Collins, those are probably the biggest two. Who 812 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:44,079 else? I always my head always goes blank when people ask me things like 813 01:10:44,199 --> 01:10:45,199 that. Yeah, that's okay, that's all right. It kind of puts 814 01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:50,680 you on the spot. Phil Collins is a surprise to me though, because 815 01:10:53,119 --> 01:10:57,359 I don't know, I never really hear anyone say so is Phil Collins? 816 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,039 I know this kind of an ongoing debate that I've seen online in some forums. 817 01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:05,920 Is Phil Collins a great drummer in your opinion, Phil Collins is the 818 01:11:06,119 --> 01:11:11,640 man, no kidding, But you have to listen to the early Genesis albums 819 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:13,840 to figure it out. He also has other bands. He has, like 820 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:17,079 a jazz fusion band that I haven't listened too much from. Yeah, but 821 01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:21,399 honestly, if you like Bill Ward, yeah, you would probably dig Phil 822 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:27,279 collins drumming on the early Genesis albums because that was a very similar, loose, 823 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,600 jazzy, feely style, if you know what I mean. It's not 824 01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:36,479 rigid at all. He's very much just like sinking into the music. See 825 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:41,880 that surprises me because I guess the more commercial Genesis stuff that came out later, 826 01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,000 I feel like his drumming is very rigid. But but I have but 827 01:11:46,119 --> 01:11:51,279 I have heard some early Genesis with when I Peter Gabriel was singing, and 828 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:57,680 now that you mention it, yeah, his drumming was different. I know 829 01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,239 what you mean. Yeah, I'll have to go back and let's to some 830 01:12:00,319 --> 01:12:01,960 of that. Yeah, you're getting some support on that in the chat room. 831 01:12:03,039 --> 01:12:05,800 H DJ Midas, who's part of the w M n H family. 832 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,680 In fact, he has a show here called Late Night to Light. He 833 01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:14,279 says Phil Collins is a phenomenal drummer. Malcolm Salz says, any Genesis album 834 01:12:14,359 --> 01:12:18,840 he wasn't allowed to sing on was incredible. That's a great way of putting 835 01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:23,600 it. Although I love Phil's voice. Phil's got a great voice. But 836 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,680 I but I understand. I understand what he means, because that makes sense 837 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,520 if you're talking about the earlier stuff before Phil took over on vocals, and 838 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:34,199 Fredo says, uh, brand X. Actually, let me read these in 839 01:12:34,319 --> 01:12:39,520 order. Fredo said Phil Collins was a masterful drummer. Check out his fusion 840 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:44,600 band. His fusion band brand X. Brand X is Phil Collins displaying his 841 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:49,680 jazz prowess and crazy Prague chops. Interesting. Interesting. Oh, and Malcolm 842 01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:54,119 had said earlier Phil Collins and early Genesis is some of the best Prague you 843 01:12:54,159 --> 01:12:58,279 will ever hear. Interesting. Yeah, I'll have to I'll have to go 844 01:12:58,359 --> 01:13:02,840 back and give that another listen. Okay, Yeah, it's coincidentally several months 845 01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:08,159 ago I happened to hear I cannot even remember what album it's on. It 846 01:13:08,279 --> 01:13:12,920 was on one of their really commercially successful albums, Genesis with Phil on lead 847 01:13:13,039 --> 01:13:16,000 vocals. But the song is Domino. Do you know that song. I 848 01:13:16,159 --> 01:13:19,359 do not know that song. Yeah, it's from It's It's again. It's 849 01:13:19,399 --> 01:13:24,760 from their really commercial period. But but I just remember listening to that song 850 01:13:26,279 --> 01:13:30,800 and I'm listening to the drum track, and I'm thinking, you know, 851 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:34,359 this, this song would be so much better if the drums weren't so you 852 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,159 know, they sound it sounded like programmed drums. I don't know if it 853 01:13:38,239 --> 01:13:41,359 was actually him playing or if it was all programmed, but but I remember 854 01:13:41,399 --> 01:13:44,680 thinking, this song would be so cool if you know, it was Phil 855 01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,399 Collins without drumming, without all the effects and everything. But it was, 856 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,560 you know, it was like the mid nineteen eighties. You know, I 857 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,760 lived through it. It was. Everything was very sort of overproduced in that 858 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,920 way. But I'll have to go back and listen to some early Phil Collins 859 01:13:59,239 --> 01:14:01,239 or some early some more early Genesis, and I'll have to check out Brand 860 01:14:01,359 --> 01:14:03,600 I didn't even know about brand X, so that must have been the band 861 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:09,159 he was in before Genesis. Maybe I don't really know. There might have 862 01:14:09,199 --> 01:14:13,159 been some overlap. Yeah, yeah, interesting, No, I'm very curious. 863 01:14:13,239 --> 01:14:15,800 Now Now how about you? How about you, Matt In terms of 864 01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,159 influences, I mean, we talked a little bit about your vocals, but 865 01:14:18,279 --> 01:14:21,840 how about guitar or just the overall vibe. Like I said, I get 866 01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:28,399 a heavy Sabbath vibe from from Witch Trot. Yeah. I really like the 867 01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:32,439 Melvins. I can hear it. Yeah, I like Cudini. That's probably 868 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:36,800 my favorite from them. Stoner which is another one I really like. Of 869 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:42,359 course, Nirvana and Utero is one of my favorite albums. Yeah, and 870 01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:47,199 I love Black Sabbath as well. Sleep is a cool band. Electric Wizard 871 01:14:47,319 --> 01:14:53,119 a lot of that doomy type rock and as well as the grunge stuff I've 872 01:14:53,159 --> 01:14:59,560 always been a fan of. Yeah, yeah, Oh, Fredo and the 873 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,760 chat Room says regarding Phil Collins, he didn't need to, he didn't need 874 01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:09,840 to give us his all on the Tarzan soundtrack, but he did. Yeah, 875 01:15:10,319 --> 01:15:13,520 when the Tarzan soundtrack, I remember when that came out, and I 876 01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,680 remember kind of thinking, yeah, he's definitely entered his Uh, he's moved 877 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:20,840 from his rock face to his adult contemporary face. Actually he had probably done 878 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:25,560 that long before that. But yeah, I understood. He can't even he 879 01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:29,119 can't even really, it's hard for him to stand up now, Phil Collins, 880 01:15:29,239 --> 01:15:32,800 like you see you see any videos from that last from the Genesis farewell 881 01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,880 to her. It's kind of it's kind of heartbreaking. Feel bad for him, 882 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:41,720 you know, although miraculously his voice still sounds pretty good. Oh, 883 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,239 his voice is great. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, I'm just a poor 884 01:15:45,319 --> 01:15:48,439 guy. He can't it's hard for him to move around. And you know, 885 01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:53,479 but drums is such a physical instrument too that you know, if there's 886 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:58,479 anything you're gonna get injured playing, it's that. I suppose. Well, 887 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,880 we should get to this track since we've been talking about how you guys sound. 888 01:16:01,359 --> 01:16:06,079 Now again, is this no mas Thomas? Is that how you pronounce 889 01:16:06,119 --> 01:16:11,079 it? Yes? Okay, now what does that mean? No more Thomas? 890 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:15,920 So I have a friend named Thomas, and uh, he's I can 891 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,760 tell this will be a good story by Edward's reaction. Well, he he's 892 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:30,000 very unpredictable and like he's always he always does very like wild things, like 893 01:16:30,119 --> 01:16:33,159 I've always and like he's younger than me, so I've always kind of been 894 01:16:33,239 --> 01:16:36,279 like I've acted like the older brother in some ways. So I'm always like 895 01:16:36,399 --> 01:16:42,640 Thomas, no, don't do that, especially in public, or he's gonna 896 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:48,920 watch this and be like but yeah, So yeah, that's that's why I 897 01:16:49,079 --> 01:16:51,680 called it no more Thomas, and I've told him that and he thinks it's 898 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:58,000 pretty cool. That's cool. I thought maybe it was Latin or something very 899 01:16:58,039 --> 01:17:00,439 cool. All right, let's give this a listen. Where was this recorded, 900 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,199 by the way, Alfa Omega Studios, And where is that? That's 901 01:17:03,279 --> 01:17:10,319 in Massachusetts? Some town in Massachusetts I've never heard of before. Okay, 902 01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,560 all right, cool, Let's give this a listen and then we'll come back 903 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,279 and we'll talk some more with these guys. Check this out. This is 904 01:17:15,800 --> 01:18:18,159 Witstrot. This is brand new, newly remastered and world radio premiere.

Matt must no mass Thomas, 909 01:22:27,239 --> 01:22:31,640 Yes, from the band witch Trot, And we have Matt and Edward from 910 01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:35,119 the band here with us live in studio. That is the world radio premiere 911 01:22:35,199 --> 01:22:38,960 of that track, and I love it. You know what's cool? Is 912 01:22:39,399 --> 01:22:43,479 it? Kind of the song fools you? I'm sure I'm not the only 913 01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:45,920 one who's made this observation. But when I was listening to it for the 914 01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,520 first time, I was like, Oh, it's an instrumental, and then 915 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:53,239 the vocal finally shows up, but it's so far into the song, but 916 01:22:53,359 --> 01:22:56,439 it's it's like a cool surprise when the vocal comes in. I was like, 917 01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,600 Oh, it's not an instrumental. I like that, Like, did 918 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:03,239 you do that intentionally or is that just kind of how the song developed? 919 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:11,000 That was actually done intentionally. A lot of the stoner rock doomy stuff band 920 01:23:11,119 --> 01:23:15,399 Sleep does that a lot. They'll have a lot of instrumentals and then they'll 921 01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,880 sing, and then they'll stop and do a lot of long instrumentals and then 922 01:23:19,039 --> 01:23:23,479 continue back into singing. Yeah, yeah, No, I like that. 923 01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:28,399 It's cool. It's it's kind of a cool twist. Yeah, Fredo in 924 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:34,680 the chat room says long intro. Fredo also said too earlier, you know, 925 01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:38,600 the The Melvins came up as an influence, and Fredo said, up, 926 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,359 Melvins are one of the most influential badass bands ever. They did more 927 01:23:42,399 --> 01:23:46,640 for grunge, sludge and underground music in general than any of their contemporaries. 928 01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:51,800 Yeah, definitely. The Melvin's very, very influential but kind of unsung heroes. 929 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:57,039 And you know one of those bands that you know, musicians know the 930 01:23:57,119 --> 01:24:01,560 Melvins, but non musicians never even heard of them. This is one one 931 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:05,399 of those kinds of bands. Yeah. So we've got the guys here from 932 01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:09,880 witch Trot in studio.

Hello, nice to see you in there. 942 01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:45,520 By the way, So where does the name come from? Uh, witch 943 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,000 Trot. I assume you came up with that, Matt, because you're the 944 01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:53,600 like the original, the founding member. Yeah, yeah, well, there's 945 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,880 several wis Trout roads in Maine. I noticed that. I noticed that when 946 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,399 I googled you guys, and I was like, oh, the this is 947 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,439 a common thing in Maine. Yeah. Yeah, And well the name came 948 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:10,800 about was Maine was part of Massachusetts during the Salem Witch Trials, and they 949 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:15,640 brought down a preacher or parson from Maine, and the road is called witch 950 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:20,640 trot Road. That was trotting down, which is on horseback. They would 951 01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:28,640 commonly do that and and pick that name because it was it signified like judgment 952 01:25:30,159 --> 01:25:34,079 and symbolized the road to judgment when those witches were crossing over. Yeah, 953 01:25:34,239 --> 01:25:36,479 yeah, I thought that was cool. Yeah, no, it's a cool 954 01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:42,319 name. Now how many songs have you? Is this the only Is this 955 01:25:42,399 --> 01:25:45,119 the first song that you've done in that studio in North Reading or do you 956 01:25:45,199 --> 01:25:48,640 have others that you're working on or we would like to go back soon. 957 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:55,600 We have two other ones I played. Parallax was one of them, and 958 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,600 I played the acoustic version of that. Yeah, we have a song called 959 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:03,000 Hello Dmitri that that's also was recorded at Alpha Omega. Oh okay, yeah, 960 01:26:03,079 --> 01:26:06,039 we're gonna, We're gonna sorry, We're going to release those, hopefully 961 01:26:06,079 --> 01:26:09,920 tonight or tomorrow. Oh okay, yeah, oh okay, yeah, I'd 962 01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,119 love to hear Hello Dmitri. So that'll be so at some point this weekend, 963 01:26:13,199 --> 01:26:15,119 that'll be available, yes, online. Very cool, very cool. 964 01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,640 And what's the writing process, Like, do you guys write together or do 965 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:23,680 you come up with the ideas initially and then bring them netword or how does 966 01:26:23,720 --> 01:26:30,600 that work? It's sort of they always originate with Matt. You know, 967 01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:34,319 I like to consider myself a valuable part of the band, but it's always 968 01:26:34,359 --> 01:26:41,439 been Matt's songs that we're playing. Yeah. He sometimes he comes at me 969 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:45,800 or me and whoever former basis was in the band at the time with a 970 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:50,119 completed idea. But usually it's just like, you know, an intro of 971 01:26:50,279 --> 01:26:55,760 verse and a chorus and we jam on it for a while. Someone might 972 01:26:55,840 --> 01:27:00,960 make a few suggestions. Yeah. They come together very organically and as a 973 01:27:01,039 --> 01:27:05,840 consequence, somewhat inefficiently. Sometimes it kind of takes a while for them to 974 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:12,039 reach their final form. Really yeah, like how long like, uh, 975 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,520 to develop a song? Does it take? Does it take days? Weeks? 976 01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:21,039 A couple practices? Yeah? Okay, yeah yeah yeah, Because Edward, 977 01:27:21,119 --> 01:27:25,960 what what you're doing on the drums that that that winds up becoming you 978 01:27:26,039 --> 01:27:28,079 know, even if the idea doesn't start with you. I mean you you 979 01:27:28,239 --> 01:27:31,399 are really kind of contributing to how the song forms because your drum patterns are 980 01:27:32,039 --> 01:27:36,439 complex and you know it's it's not it's not like you know, you're not 981 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:40,399 the guy from a CDC sitting over there. You're actually really you know, 982 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,600 not nothing against a c DC, but you're really you know, you're really 983 01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:45,680 helping to form and shape that song with what you're doing on the drums. 984 01:27:46,159 --> 01:27:50,800 Yeah, so I scer them, you could say. Sometimes sometimes it's something 985 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:56,199 as simple as like a bro, what if we like this? Right? 986 01:27:57,199 --> 01:28:00,800 But it's being humble. But like for actually Nomas Tomas, that song, 987 01:28:01,039 --> 01:28:03,800 the breakdown at the end, that wouldn't have happened, you know without the 988 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:10,159 drums. A lot of the drum Definitely drums carry like all the songs. 989 01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:15,199 Yeah, it's just you know, I have a rough draft really and then 990 01:28:15,279 --> 01:28:20,199 it forms into something Yeah, I wouldn't have expected right right now now in 991 01:28:20,359 --> 01:28:24,800 studio. Now, who's playing bass in studio? Are you doing that yourself 992 01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:29,600 or is Megan doing that? Or who's our friend Tony Woodman played bass on 993 01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,560 that actually. Oh okay, yeah, he has a band, Black Headdress. 994 01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:35,119 I drummed for for that band and he helped us out a lot. 995 01:28:35,319 --> 01:28:40,039 See. Now that's a twist on this whole drummer thing. So there's this 996 01:28:40,199 --> 01:28:49,399 other band that you play drums in. See is it? What's your first 997 01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:53,399 instrument? Is drums your first instrument? Or or is a guitar? It 998 01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:58,720 was? It was drums was the first thing I learned. I gradually went 999 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,960 to guitar, and I've been playing that. That's kind of like my main 1000 01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,560 instrument. Oh, I got you, I got you a Black head Dress. 1001 01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:09,960 That's the other band. Yeah, it's a cool from around here? 1002 01:29:10,079 --> 01:29:15,560 Is is everybody from around here? Uh? Yeah? There? Tony's from 1003 01:29:15,359 --> 01:29:19,520 Sandford, and then Josh is from he's the guitarist and the band. He 1004 01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:25,720 is from Alfred and then so it's kind of kind of all over the place. 1005 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:30,079 Alfred. Where's that it's It's in New Hampshire. No, sorry, 1006 01:29:30,119 --> 01:29:31,880 Maine. It's in Maine. Oh, it's in Maine. Yeah. And 1007 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,760 I know Sandford is in Maine. Yes. Yeah. The only reason I 1008 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,960 know that is because that's where I almost dround when I was a kid. 1009 01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,600 My dad had to save me. So the Sandford, Maine is uh is 1010 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,800 forever etched in my brain. So you're now you live here now, but 1011 01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:51,319 you're from Maine originally? Is that York Maine? You're from York. Okay, 1012 01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:54,720 that's a nice area. Now about you, Edward, Do you live 1013 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,840 in the area here or or do you have a commute? I live in 1014 01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,840 Rochester currently. Okay. I I grew up in Portsmouth. That's where I 1015 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:04,000 was living when I joined the band. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, 1016 01:30:04,079 --> 01:30:08,600 So you guys got a little bit of a commute between you. It's half 1017 01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:10,720 an hour. It's not bad, It's not bad. Yeah. Yeah. 1018 01:30:11,039 --> 01:30:13,119 Now are you playing a lot of shows? Do you play a lot of 1019 01:30:13,119 --> 01:30:15,600 shows or are you focused on recording? Or we have a couple of shows 1020 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,079 coming up. We have a house party on the twenty eighth, and then 1021 01:30:18,119 --> 01:30:21,720 we're playing at the Stone Church on Halloween. Oh very cool. Yeah, 1022 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:28,920 we're playing. We're playing with Proelium. They're headlining. Yeah. Yeah, 1023 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:33,000 it's gonna be Prollium headlining witch Trot before them, and then a band called 1024 01:30:33,079 --> 01:30:38,239 green Eye before witch Trot. Yeah. And does one of you play drums 1025 01:30:38,319 --> 01:30:45,840 and green Eyes? No, we've reached the limit. Okay, understood. 1026 01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:50,439 Speaking of drums, I wanted to mention something. Yeah, a lot of 1027 01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:57,000 the older Witch Trot songs, like from when I first joined the band, 1028 01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:03,439 I actually learned from demos that Matt posted on YouTube again when he was like 1029 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:09,399 when he was like seventeen or so, And on all those demos he's playing 1030 01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,800 drums. Oh wow, So the way I played drums in the band was 1031 01:31:15,159 --> 01:31:23,399 influenced by what Matt played oh way back in the day. Oh. Interesting. 1032 01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:27,199 So it kind of like it's sort of like a it comes full circle. 1033 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:30,720 Yeah, so you you committed to learning, but do you play the 1034 01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:36,680 parts now the same as when Matt put them in those demos originally? Do 1035 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:40,680 you or do you even still play those songs, because obviously those songs go 1036 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:45,600 backways some of them we do it kind of it depends on the song. 1037 01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:51,039 Sometimes. I sometimes I liked what he played and and I would more or 1038 01:31:51,119 --> 01:31:55,039 less stick to that, and if anything changed, it would again change like 1039 01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:59,720 subconsciously and organically over time. Yeah. Other other things, it was more 1040 01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:03,520 of a like, hey, I have an idea for how else this could 1041 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:08,640 be done? Right, Yeah, makes sense. But I definitely think even 1042 01:32:09,359 --> 01:32:15,000 even if the parts themselves have changed the way Matt plays drums influenced how I 1043 01:32:15,199 --> 01:32:19,720 choose to play drums in the band. Now, okay, okay, interesting, 1044 01:32:23,359 --> 01:32:29,640 So are your styles now today on drums somewhat different then or or are 1045 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:32,000 they similar very much? So we're completely different drummers? Really? Yeah? 1046 01:32:32,239 --> 01:32:35,000 Yeah? In in in what way? I mean? Cause I kind of 1047 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,760 have a vibe of how you play obviously from listening to that track, But 1048 01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:45,239 like, what, how how are your drums different, Matt? If it's 1049 01:32:45,279 --> 01:32:47,880 something you can put into words, maybe it's not the easiest thing to verbalize, 1050 01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:51,840 but I'm curious. Now. Uh. Well, with Black Head Dress, 1051 01:32:54,399 --> 01:32:58,439 a lot of the songs are kind of tribal, like O lot of 1052 01:33:00,079 --> 01:33:02,680 a lot of toms. It's pretty heavy on that rather than a lot of 1053 01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:11,520 a lot of crashes or fills or it's just kind of sets the tone for 1054 01:33:12,239 --> 01:33:15,600 because I follow, Like with Black Head Dress, I follow Tony and Josh 1055 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:18,359 quite a bit. I just go back and forth, and they're really the 1056 01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:24,760 ones who are setting up the structure, and I'm and I'm yeah, it's 1057 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:27,159 just kind of tribal, like, I mean, that's kind of how the 1058 01:33:27,279 --> 01:33:32,199 songs felt. Yeah, No, that makes sense. Yeah, I was 1059 01:33:32,239 --> 01:33:38,079 actually just looking up black head Dress online and uh, maybe we'll maybe to 1060 01:33:38,239 --> 01:33:45,760 end the show, we'll play Uh do these have swears in them? Honestly, 1061 01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,079 it depends on the song like Disconnected that shows up on the website. 1062 01:33:49,119 --> 01:33:51,800 Do you know? If you don't know, we just won't risk it. 1063 01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:55,560 But I was just thinking if if you did know, we could play something, 1064 01:33:56,039 --> 01:33:58,359 because I'm curious to hear here it now. But if not, I'll 1065 01:33:58,399 --> 01:34:02,920 just wait till later and we won't risk it. I can't remember, honestly. 1066 01:34:03,079 --> 01:34:05,279 Yeah, No, that's fine. That's all good. By the way, 1067 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:09,359 Melanie in the chat room says high five for not being a part of 1068 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:17,880 Massachusetts anymore. Now have you guys obviously you play shows around here. Have 1069 01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:23,319 you have you toured anywhere outside of the area. No, we've never been 1070 01:34:23,359 --> 01:34:26,640 on tour. Okay, We've played mass a little bit, New Hampshire, 1071 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,880 a little bit, Maine a little bit. Yeah, but I think that's 1072 01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,399 it. Okay, Yeah, okay. And are there are there any other 1073 01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:35,359 bands in the area that you kind of team up with? You know, 1074 01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:39,079 I mean it tends to happen organically, kind of by accident. You know, 1075 01:34:39,239 --> 01:34:42,840 bands will have other bands that they wind up playing a lot of shows 1076 01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:45,680 with. Do you have anybody in the area like that? Oh yeah, 1077 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:50,600 well Wired for Sound Yeah yeah, played with Marvel Prone a few times back 1078 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:56,159 when I was in that band. Played a few shows with Proellium. We're 1079 01:34:56,159 --> 01:35:01,359 about to play another show with Proelium. Yeah. Who else? Who are 1080 01:35:01,399 --> 01:35:05,319 like some of the Charlie's Hill bands? We played with Sauce on the side, 1081 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:11,319 I was one on the show. Yeah, yeah, they're they're fantastic, 1082 01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:14,680 Yeah they are. Yeah, they're great. Able Blood of course, 1083 01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:16,359 able blood, love able blood. We had them on the show. We 1084 01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:21,840 have sophisticated adult martial law. There's a lot of I found that in the 1085 01:35:23,399 --> 01:35:28,520 more of the Seacoast area, there's a lot of more metal type bands, 1086 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,600 hard rock bands, yeah, like metal core type bands. Yeah, and 1087 01:35:33,000 --> 01:35:36,560 yeah, so we we kind of get placed in in those types of shows, 1088 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:40,159 which is a lot of fun, a lot of the mosh pits and 1089 01:35:40,239 --> 01:35:44,760 whatnot. Yeah, no, no doubt, no doubt. And uh so 1090 01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:46,520 this, uh this weekend is a stone church? Is that this weekend or 1091 01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:50,279 next weekend? That's Halloween night? Halloween Knight. Yeah, that's very cool. 1092 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:54,439 That's a good that's really good. I haven't been to the Stone Church 1093 01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,279 in forever, but that's a really nice that's a nice place to play. 1094 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:01,319 They're actually a not normally open on Tuesdays, but Halloween is a Tuesday this 1095 01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:05,520 year. Yeah, and so they figured they'd throw a little shin dig. 1096 01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:11,319 It's gonna be a full on costume party. Three bands, good fun, 1097 01:36:12,279 --> 01:36:15,920 very cool if anyone's interested. Wish Front, Prellium, and Green Eye, 1098 01:36:16,359 --> 01:36:23,920 not in that order.
