00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:44,399
Hello, everybody, Welcome, here
we go. It is that time again,

2
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,079
Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live
from the studios of w m N

3
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:56,320
hinem and Glorious downtown Manchester, New
Hampshire. Although it looks like it's about

4
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:00,320
to storm out there, but it
is nonetheless glorious. Also on Comcast ninety

5
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,359
seven if you're in Manchester, and
hello to all of our online listeners across

00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:06,239
the nation and around the globe.

Today is Friday, August four,

9
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,120
two thousand and twenty three, so
nice to have you all with me.

10
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:22,000
We do not, as we normally
do on Friday, we do not have

11
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,760
a classic film review from our friend
Eric Pilcher this week. He's got a

12
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,840
lot going on this week, so
he wasn't able to join us for our

13
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,959
Wednesday segment and he does not have
a film review for us either, but

14
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,560
he will hopefully be back in action
next week. I think he might be

15
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:41,480
staging a what they call in Hollywood
a sick out, which is where you

16
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,079
you know you're sick because well in
Eric's case, he just really wants a

17
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,799
T shirt. Actually no, I
think he just has a lot going on.

18
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,959
But no, we support him and
he'll be back next week hopefully so.

19
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,239
But we do have coming up at
the top of the hour a great

20
00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,239
musical guest joining us a via skype, all the way from Tech These Texas

21
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,200
metal bands. I tell you it's
gonna get heavy Past the Ammunition. And

22
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:07,000
by the way, with a name
like that, what other state could they

23
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:12,199
be from? Of course they're from
Texas. Now, this really good power

24
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,479
metal trio. I shouldn't say power
metal. That's a specific genre. They're

25
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:19,879
a power trio, but they play
metal, but it's definitely not power metal.

26
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,960
It's much more aggressive. Forgive me
the faux pa. They are a

27
00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:29,280
power trio and they play metal,
and they're called Pass the Ammunition. And

28
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840
they're gonna be skyping in at five
pm today, So really really good stuff.

29
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:37,319
So looking forward to talking with them, and who knows, maybe also

30
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,479
later in the show, we'll give
another spin of the newest single from Jerry

31
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:45,800
and the Scumbags, the new track
Hipster Dipster. Yesterday was the world radio

32
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:51,879
premiere of Hipster Dipster, and the
response has already been truly remarkable, lots

33
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:55,080
of positive feedback. Everyone loves it. I think it is going to be

34
00:02:55,199 --> 00:03:01,319
number one with a bullet, as
they say again of a passing reference to

35
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:06,680
our musical guests coming up later today, pass the ammunition anyway. But yeah,

36
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,439
so lots going on. Let me
tell you what, by the way,

37
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400
and then we'll I want to get
this out of the way, and

38
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,120
then we'll give the contact info for
the show and we'll say hello everybody on

39
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,280
the Facebook, CLIFTA and so on. I have some some subjects today.

40
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,000
Obviously we do have a musical guest
later, but I also have some specific

41
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:30,560
subjects to discuss on the show,
and none of them directly relate to Donald

42
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:34,919
Trump. Now, obviously it's uh, he's been in the news quite a

43
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:39,719
bit lately if you haven't noticed.
And yesterday we spent almost the entire show

44
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:45,159
except for you know, the world
radio premiere of Hipster Dipster. We spent

45
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,879
the rest of the show talking about
Trump's arrangement. Yesterday is third one.

46
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:52,360
It's you know, it's a big
deal. First time in history we've ever

47
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,479
seen anything like this playing out.
But um, I have to tell you

48
00:03:55,479 --> 00:04:02,879
guys, I'm starting to feel a
little bit of TFS Trump fatigue syndrome.

49
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,280
So I kind of had this idea
that I think today, because we spent

50
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,639
almost the entire show on it yesterday
as it was happening in real time.

51
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,879
His arraignment was at four pm,
the same time that this show goes on

52
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:18,879
the air, I think i'd like
to I'd like to just get into some

53
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,560
other things today. We live,
for better or worse, we live into

54
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:27,519
a fascinating world where there are always
many interesting things going on, and so

55
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,600
there's plenty of things to talk about
and some other things that I wanted to

56
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,120
get to earlier in the week that
we just didn't get to, some serious

57
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,959
and some more frivolous and so forth. So since we don't have Eric's film

58
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:43,639
review today, maybe we'll get into
some of those. But I'm already feeling

59
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,639
that Trump fatigue syndrome setting in,
and we've got a long way to go

60
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:53,560
with all the Trump stuff now,
So I just I just I'd like to

61
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,319
take a little bit of a break
from that now. I do have a

62
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,920
couple of caveats to that one,
in that I do like to defer to

63
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:06,720
the listeners as much as possible as
much as it is feasible to do so

64
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,480
sometimes you can't, but when you
can, I like to. So if

65
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:15,079
anyone listening, if anyone in the
audience has something that about regarding the happenings,

66
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,399
the goings on legally with Trump,
that you would like to discuss,

67
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,839
I'm certainly open to it. So
I'm not saying it's a no Trump zone

68
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,199
today. I'm just saying I'm not
looking for it. I'd like to get

69
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,360
to some other things and not let
him suck up all the oxygen. But

70
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,199
if somebody has something that they want
to discuss regarding Trump, either on the

71
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:38,160
phone or in the chat room,
I am certainly open to it. So

72
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,199
I'm not making a hard fast rule
on this. I'm just kind of telling

73
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,519
you where my head's at and the
other caveat and this should be obvious ciscos

74
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:46,879
without saying I'm sure. But if
there's some sort of big breaking news,

75
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:55,759
a new development that merits our immediate
attention regarding Trump's legal woes, we can

76
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,199
certainly discuss that. But we do
have a call. Hi, welcome to

77
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,199
Matt Connerton Leash. Who is this
Hello, Matt Polly Police from a retro

78
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,680
spectrum radio with police. How are
you. I'm doing good. Listen.

79
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,560
I know you're going to commit the
next two hours to talking about Donald Trump,

80
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,279
and I just I'm not listening right
now, so I don't know what

81
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:16,879
you're what you're talking about. So, but I know that you're going to

82
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:20,319
spend the entire two hours talking about
Donald Trump again, and I just wanted

83
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:24,519
to promote the show. That was
a bad joke. I'm sorry, I

84
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,480
am listening. Oh okay, because
I was going to then I was going

85
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:33,360
to then suggest that you could easily
derail that by saying something about Hunter Biden

86
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:39,680
or Hillary Clinton or something. But
yeah, me me, it's dude.

87
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,120
You want to talk politics with me, Let's talk about Abraham Lincoln or George

88
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,160
Washington. All right, that's that's
it. Hey, two of the greats,

89
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,759
Two of the greats, that's right, two of the greatest. Yes,

90
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,680
Yes, I once saw this like
mini series on the History Channel,

91
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,800
probably oh, fifteen years ago.
That was the hundred greatest people of the

92
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,480
millennia, of the first thousand,
of the first thousand years, for the

93
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:12,879
second thousand years, whatever it was. But anyway, Abraham Lincoln out of

94
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,560
all the I mean, they had
everybody, they had the guy who invented

95
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,879
paper, you know, way back
in the day, and all this other

96
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:24,680
stuff, and Abraham Lincoln was number
one. Oh no, kidding out of

97
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,160
a thousand wow, okay, well
good, well one hundred, I'm sorry,

98
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,639
a thousand years, one hundred people. Well, he did emancipate the

99
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:35,360
slaves. Kind of a big deal, I know. But he didn't invent

100
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:41,160
paper, that's true. Who did
invent paper? And his paper the person's

101
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:46,120
last name, No, his last
name is not paper, and it was

102
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:54,279
I think like somewhere in an Asian
part of the world. Oh, I

103
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:56,480
see. I thought maybe it was
named for him. Maybe his name was

104
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,439
Paul Paper or something. That'd be
a fun thing to tell people though,

105
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,279
because most people won't bother to look
it up, so just be a fun

106
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,639
thing to spread. Hey, did
you know the guy who invented paper?

107
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,560
His name's Paul Paper, pall Paper. Yeah. I just wanted to call

108
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:13,120
and promote the show tonight. Yeah. I'll let you, uh get rid

109
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,600
of me and you can do your
thing there. What do we what do

110
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,399
we have in store? Well?
Can I we have no guests? A

111
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,720
nice quiet night between the four of
us kicking back and chilling with touchy feely

112
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:31,639
song. Oh, will they make
us h will they make us feel amorous?

113
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:37,480
You'll you'll blush wow? Particular nesher, So I am a blusher,

114
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,360
will indeed thank you blush? Wow? Well that's uh. Can you give

115
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,759
us? Can you give us a
clue? Can you give us, Paul,

116
00:08:43,879 --> 00:08:48,840
just one example of what is in
the playlist tonight, Just just one?

117
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,960
Sure? I want to kiss you
all over by Exile. Oh,

118
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,240
that song does make me blush.
Yes, that's the blushing track. I

119
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,919
get all. But as far as
the feeling part of it, feelings go

120
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:07,519
way beyond just physical Matt, and
we'll be covering many different aspects of feeling

121
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:13,679
through song tonight. Feelings nothing more
than feelings? Is that in there?

122
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,200
You know what I told Lisa what
the topic was, Our good friend Lisa

123
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,799
who does our voiceovers with Katie.
Yeah, And when I told her what

124
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,879
the topic was tonight, you know
what she said? She said, feelings

125
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:28,080
nothing more than feelings, like you
just did. And I'm not playing that

126
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,519
song. By the way, I
will not be here tonight. I was

127
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,559
going to say, clearly, it
is too obvious a choice and therefore I'm

128
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,759
sure you did not include it,
right, No, it's too obvious.

129
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:41,799
And we just played that song,
and that song, I mean, the

130
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:45,039
dude who sang it and got millions
of dollars off it ripped it off from

131
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,320
another song from like Italy, I
believe, and never told anybody, so

132
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,879
shame on him. Shame on him. And then led Zeppelin stole it too

133
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:56,200
and did their own version. Right, I'm sorry, yeah, exactly,

134
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,600
Yeah, yeah, I was suspected
that wasn't really there's yeah, no,

135
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,480
it wasn't really there, but it
sounds like it's theirs, right, It

136
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,639
sure does. And when you look
at the record credits, they don't you

137
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,120
know, they say it's a Plant
page. Yeah, I know, I

138
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,919
know it's not right. It's not
right, and he's all like baby baby

139
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,159
feelings, you know, because exactly
how he used to sing back then.

140
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,639
That was the most horrendous Robert Plant
impression in the history of the world.

141
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,440
And I do apologize for it.
I don't know why I do that.

142
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,559
I don't know if you ever noticed
this about me, Paul. I do

143
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:35,559
these spontaneous impressions, and they're always
really bad, and yet it's almost like

144
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,639
I can't help it. It's a
compulsion. I'll just do one out of

145
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,039
nowhere for no reason, and it's
always horrible, but I but I still

146
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:52,200
do him. There is a there
is a diagnosis to that you have imitation

147
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:58,720
tourete, imitation tourettes. I.
Yes, I wonder if there's a medication

148
00:10:58,759 --> 00:11:03,919
I take for the millions it does. Yes, So you're not alone.

149
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Well, I just know that you're
not alone in that imitation threat. That's

150
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:15,919
all right, We're million strong,
see because that's my that's my impression of

151
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:18,519
Paul Stanley singing Crazy Nights with that
line we're millions strong. See. It

152
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,759
was really bad, right, I
usually I suffer from it too. Was

153
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,440
come out right now and let you
know. But it's not with music with

154
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:28,440
me. It's more like with TV
shows. I'm I'm going to join you,

155
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Elizabeth, We're going to join you. Sorry, Yeah, that is

156
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:33,840
That is a pretty bad impression.
Actually, yeah, you're right, okay,

157
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:37,559
Well yeah I'm not alone. Yeah
that was terrible. You don't sound

158
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,360
anything like red Fox. Wow?
Right, exactly. If that's half the

159
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:48,840
battle, half the struggle is not
only breaking out in imitations, but they're

160
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,799
bad ones. I feel like we
should start a support group, a twelve

161
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,840
twelve steps support group. Yes,
I think it would be great. I'll

162
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,159
I'll see you at eight o'clock.
All right, sounds good. I'll see

163
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:05,799
you then, Paul, thank you, all right, very good. Retro

164
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,720
Spectrum Radio with Pauly C Friday,
of course, is my favorite day of

165
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,559
the week here at WMH ninety five
point three FM. I get to do

166
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,639
double duty and I love it.
I do this show and then I'm back

167
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,639
at eight pm of course for retro
Spectrum Radio with poly C. I'm one

168
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,000
of Paul's co hosts on that show, along with DJ Steve and Mike from

169
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,960
Queen City Cabinetry, who I see
in the chat room as well as DJ

170
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:28,159
Steve and Mike also one of our
co hosts on that show, and one

171
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,559
of our sponsors of course here at
the station, and so that'll be a

172
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,559
lot of fun. I always look
forward to my Fridays and Friday nights,

173
00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:39,159
especially getting to hang out with those
guys for retro Spectrum Radio with Polyc tonight

174
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,759
live from eight to eleven pm here
at WMH ninety five point three FM.

175
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:50,080
I don't really break out into spontaneous, really horrendous impressions on that show.

176
00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:52,840
I think that's more just something I
do here, so I guess I have

177
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,120
some control over it. And it's
not like I do that just walking around

178
00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:01,080
outside like in my daily life.
I'm not you know, at a grocery

179
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,759
store or something, just randomly uh
singing and not sounding anything like what the

180
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,720
person who actually sings the song sounds
like. Um, so that's good,

181
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,159
but it's nice to know that I'm
not alone. I am not alone.

182
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,360
See that's you know that song.
You are not alone Michael Jackson. See

183
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,000
that was terrible. I just did
it again. That was horrendous. I

184
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,919
am so embarrassed that I even attempted
to do that. I didn't sound anything

185
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,000
like him. Um, it's a
sickness and I need help. Maybe there

186
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:37,720
is a medication like uh uh imitator
roll or something that I can take that

187
00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,440
will I'd probably ask horrible side effects. Six Z three two five O six

00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:05,840
But the best thing to do so
that we can hear and enjoy your

Paul see also in the chat room as

202
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:37,519
well as DJ Steve. DJ Steve, by the way, said a great

203
00:14:37,559 --> 00:14:41,080
intro. He really liked that opening
song. Yeah, that is the High

204
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:45,720
Capital from the band Dust Profit and
yeah they're really good. Of course,

205
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,399
it used to be in a band
with Auto Kinsel from Dust Profit. We

206
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:50,639
were in a band together called Chemical
Distance, and I've known Auto for like

207
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,639
two decades. We've worked together on
some other things as well. That's the

208
00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:56,919
only band we were ever in together. But I did some other up promotional

209
00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:01,799
work for him. Oh speaking a
very talented music. The Great Dylan Reynolds

210
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,159
joins us in the Facebook live chat
and says, good afternoon, Good afternoon,

211
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,120
Dylan. Jenny is in the chat
room and says shalom peeps. J

212
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:15,639
Fed says, I'm riding solo tonight. Oh my, let's see Mike from

213
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:20,600
Queen City Cabinetry says Happy Friday everyone. Oh. Police reminds us too,

214
00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,279
there will be a new shower time
with DJ Steve tonight on Retrospectrum Radio.

215
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,720
A very popular segment on the program. I mean it's a little unsettling,

216
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:35,000
but very popular. Police says in
the chat. Didn't you sing some metal

217
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,759
tune in the style of the Begs? Now, I wasn't a metal tune.

218
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:41,559
It was after the lovin by who
does that Inglebert Humperdink? Yeah,

219
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,639
that was I attempted it in my
mind. It was really funny I was

220
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,639
going to do. The idea was
it was a night where we were all

221
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:54,840
taking turns singing. It was kind
of like a karaoke night on Retrospectrum Radio,

222
00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:58,120
and I had chosen it was my
idea. I was I wanted to

223
00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:00,960
sing because I had sung after the
Loven before, but I was gonna sing

224
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,320
it again, this time in the
style of the Beg's And in my mind

225
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,320
it was really funny, and in
the car when I did it, it

226
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,679
was really funny. But then when
I had to do it live, it

227
00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:14,879
was like it wasn't clicking. Actually
bailed out of the bit, which you

228
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:17,159
should never do. That is a
cardinal sin, you know. Once you

229
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,879
commit to the bit, you gotta
finish the bit. I did not finish

230
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,039
the bit. I was I was
mortified. I was so upset with myself,

231
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,240
but I just couldn't pull it off. Melanie Liberty joins us and says,

232
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:33,799
hey, guys, uh, let's
see. Jay Fed says we are

233
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,720
getting a much needed thunderstorm, being
sarcastic. Of course, they've had all

234
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:41,360
the all the rain they can handle
and more. Just a few weeks ago,

235
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:49,879
mont Pelier was basically underwater. Oh
we have I see the name on

236
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,080
the caller ID. I think our
guest is early, but that's okay.

237
00:16:53,360 --> 00:17:00,159
Hello, is this uh Blair Donald
or Donald Blair? Hey? Ye,

238
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,279
how are you doing? From of
course the band past the ammunition? Uh,

239
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:07,839
you're you're a little early, but
that's okay, um no, no,

240
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,160
I was gonna I was gonna see
I thought we had to skype ind

241
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,119
or something. I was trying to
figure out when how to do it.

242
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:21,200
But if you want to do it
like this, that's fine, But well

243
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,839
we can. I mean, you're
you're on the line and it sounds great.

244
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,880
Is it just you? My drummers
on the on his way over over

245
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,759
the rest of the guys, um
my guitar player. He's like a fitness

246
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:41,599
kind of guy. So he's got
people that uh uh pays them to help

247
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,720
them get their figure or whatever whatever
you call that workout. Yeah, whatever,

248
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:51,680
we call it, like a personal
trainer. Don't tell them more.

249
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,079
Mitch has had I called him,
and so I guess it's just gonna be

250
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,799
me and Robbie the drummer. Okay, would be easier for you guys to

251
00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:02,880
skype in so you can both be
on Is that easier? I'm trying to

252
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,759
figure out how to do it,
but oh, okay, you're having an

253
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:11,839
issue on your end. You know, Jin was telling me to uh skype,

254
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,400
but I'm like, whoa shoot,
I thought, and a good thing

255
00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:26,319
I did get in touch with you
because I went to the main page or

256
00:18:26,319 --> 00:18:29,480
whatever, And I'm looking at it
and I'm like, well, there's a

257
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:33,680
telephone number, so this is no
number. I call Yeah, our Skype

258
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:41,039
ideas WMNH radio if that helps.
But I mean you're on the phone,

259
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:45,079
so I mean, we can just
do this, just do this now?

260
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,720
Actually, do you want to?
UM? I wanted to play to open

261
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:55,519
the segment, this song Shell that
I absolutely love. But since you're already

262
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:56,960
on with us, why don't we
do this? Let's um, can we

263
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,720
put you on hold? I'll go
ahead and play. I'll go ahead and

264
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:03,559
play this track and then we'll we'll
come back and talk about it, and

265
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:07,960
maybe your other band member will be
there at that point as well. But

266
00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:12,759
how's that sound? Awesome? Sounds
good? Okay. If you don't hear

267
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:15,960
anything on your end, it's um. Sometimes people say when they're on the

268
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,359
phone line they can't hear what's going
out on the air. So if you

269
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,200
can't, if you can't hear anything, don't worry. It's just the song

270
00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:26,000
is playing. I'm gonna play this
and then as soon as as soon as

271
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960
that ends, we'll bring you back
in. Is it Donald? Is that

272
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,880
how you say your name? Don
Donnelle? Okay? All right, very

273
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,880
good, Donnell, gotcha, gotcha
all right, hang tight with us.

274
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,039
We're gonna listen to this great song. I love. This is my favorite.

275
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:41,960
That's why I wanted to open the
segment with this. I love this

276
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,880
song. So this is Shell from
Pass the Ammunition and Donnelle from the band

00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:27,359
the solo on that? So is
that you in the studio on that track?

299
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:33,519
Don ll Do you do everything on
that track? Um? Yep,

300
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,839
that's me playing almost everything I do. Um the producer does the lead,

301
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,799
and um, I do a lead
and then um, Mitch Mitch Long uh

302
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,839
does the last lead on it.
So it's like three leads on it.

303
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:51,799
Oh okay, wow, yeah that
last lead Mitch Long is his name.

304
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,240
That that is nasty and I mean
that in a very very good way.

305
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,519
You could cut glass with that solo. That is really good. Um.

306
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:04,519
Everything about that track is just really
really good. So now are you are

307
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:08,839
you guys a trio because it looks
like there's, um, there's three of

308
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,119
you in the pictures that I saw
on social media, but it sounds like

309
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:19,279
there's been some some pets who um
what you call it? He's uh fitness

310
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:25,000
Oh yeah, yeah, he's working. You know, he's a fitness guy,

311
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,920
fitness trainer, Robbie, he's here. Um but UM, I think

312
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:37,200
we're trying to decide on um another
guitar player. Yeah, oh I got

313
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:41,759
you, I got you? Um
is uh, how many how many songs

314
00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:47,079
have you guys recorded total or or
out or I guess don lu specifically,

315
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,119
how many of you recorded with this
band? We got to two EP two

316
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:59,839
CDs out okay, grill is the
first one, and um uh firing on

317
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,359
find on all cylinders, cylinders,
I'm sorry it's the second one, gotcha?

318
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:10,359
So um, all in all,
it's about UM. I want to

319
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:17,519
see eleven songs okay, okay,
um and where um we fished to record

320
00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:25,480
a new new one called um um
um I'm sorry sorry, um sorry,

321
00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:29,599
Well I'll tell you the song the
title later on. Oh I got you

322
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:36,400
not not fit for FM radio?
I understand. Um, So uh when

323
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,720
did this project start? Donelle?
When did you start recording. When did

324
00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:45,960
it start? Started around I think
two thousand nineteen, okay, so it's

325
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:48,200
relatively now. It started when,
you know, I was playing in some

326
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:55,720
bands and around here, and it
just I just didn't feel it with these

327
00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:59,200
bands I was playing with. So
I'm like, man, I gotta you

328
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:02,079
know, I got these songs on
the shelf, I might as well get

329
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:07,160
them out there and everything. Yeah, so I decided to start past the

330
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,400
ammunition I got you. So you
started it out so effectively. You started

331
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,839
it out as a solo project,
right, and then it grew into a

332
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,279
band, is what it sounds like. Well, really supposed to be a

333
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:23,160
band, you know, I was
gonna do like Trent Tress of nine in

334
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,519
Snails. I was gonna do the
first one myself. Yeah, the second

335
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:33,920
one was supposed to be a band
outing, but some some people came and

336
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:37,079
some people went. So yeah,
yeah, I ended up I had to

337
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,400
do the second one myself, but
hopefully with this one, um, the

338
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,759
new one's got called collateral damage.
Okay. I wanted to make this a

339
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:52,839
band effort with everybody involved, you
know. So yeah, yeah, it's

340
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,279
it's interesting. Yeah, some projects, you know you mentioned Trent Resiner with

341
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,240
nine in Snails, or another great
example of course Dave Grohl that first Foo

342
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:06,480
Fighters album is all him, and
then he put the band together after the

343
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:08,480
album was already done and out,
and then of course ever since then it's

344
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:12,480
been a full band. But yeah, I think that I think it probably

345
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,160
makes sense to start out that way
if you're if you're doing something new,

346
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,640
if you start out just by yourself
and you get a bunch of studio tracks

347
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,599
done where you're in full control of
what you're doing, that probably makes it

348
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,240
easier to really establish Okay, this
is what the sound is, and now

349
00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:34,200
we're going to go from here.
I can bring in more people, but

350
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,039
now they have a template to work
with. They understand this is the sound

351
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,400
because I've already established the sound myself. Is that kind of was that kind

352
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,759
of the idea when you went into
the studio by yourself to do the first

353
00:29:47,799 --> 00:29:52,799
tracks, Like, there's some people
that came to me like for this new

354
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,640
this new CD that we're going to
do clad old damage. I got to

355
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,079
put that out there again. Yeah, they wanted like, yeah, you

356
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,640
can work in our studio, you
should work in this studio. I'm like,

357
00:30:03,839 --> 00:30:07,640
no, we're gonna stay where we're
at, you know, because this

358
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:11,119
is the sound that I want because
it's all about the drums for me.

359
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:15,559
You know, if you got a
good drums sound, I'm down for that,

360
00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:21,319
you know. Yeah. Yeah,
Like I said, Robbie's gonna be

361
00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:26,960
be the guy that's gonna be uh
behind the wheel for that that one right

362
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,000
right? Um? How do you
can you talk to me a little bit

363
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,759
about influences because when I when I
listen to that, like that song Shell

364
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,359
specifically for example, you know,
I hear a little bit of King Zachs,

365
00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,640
I hear a little bit of seven
Dust. Um, I hear a

366
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:47,359
little bit of Tantera. That's kind
of funny because on the first EP we

367
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,640
did a song called Eraser and that's
one of Robbie's favorite right here, and

368
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,920
uh, the guy, this guy
that I used to stay with me,

369
00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,880
he's like, man, that's I
hear some Kings in that One'm like,

370
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:06,079
yeah, even though the Gift Kings, I'm a big fan. Yeah,

371
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,160
but yeah, that's cool. Yeah, yeah, I hear I hear these

372
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:17,880
different influences. But what is different
is there's also a rawness. It's not

373
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,920
the production is not particularly polished,
I feel, and I mean that in

374
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:29,240
a good way. That's a compliment
because I think very often metal, especially

375
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,079
now. I was talking to somebody
else about this recently on the show How

376
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,720
you know, guitars don't sound as
heavy as they used to sound, and

377
00:31:37,359 --> 00:31:41,960
you know, um metal generally,
along with everything else, I feel,

378
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:47,440
is a little bit overproduced and a
little too clean sounding, and it takes

379
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:49,400
and that to me, takes out
some of the rawness and the aggression of

380
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:56,880
it. But your music, to
me, it really retains that that rawness

381
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,079
in terms of production. It doesn't
sound too slick. It sounds you know,

382
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,960
it's heavy, but it's also a
little rough, and I you know,

383
00:32:04,039 --> 00:32:06,920
I think it's fantastic. I don't
know if that's what you're going for

384
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:12,119
intentionally or if that just happens organically, but can you tell me a little

385
00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:16,000
bit about that Your approach to production, Well, we record and soak it

386
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:23,359
up studios, and that's usually where
I kept my eye on Ryan mc quistin

387
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,319
when I first started the Bear and
I'm like, all right, I'm going

388
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:31,319
to get this guy to do the
cover of each CD, and I'm going

389
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:37,519
to use this studio because this studio
is like kind of like a studio where

390
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:46,480
Phil a Smo a Pantera. He
usually send his musicians there. Used even

391
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:57,799
to rehearse our record and everything.
So um yeah, the next outing and

392
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:04,240
everything. I still want that that
same sound, but probably sound a lot

393
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:07,000
polished because I want to take take
our time to get all the songs right

394
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:10,839
on the next one. Yeah yeah, I mean, I like I said,

395
00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:14,039
I think these these songs sound great, and I you know, I

396
00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:15,559
like I said, I like that
it's a little you know, a little

397
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,640
raw, not not necessarily overly polished. I think it. I think it

398
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,680
probably helps you stand out a little
bit. Where in Texas are you guys

399
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:28,160
by the boy? Well, I'm
in I'm in Allington and bobbies were yet

400
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:35,880
he's in fourth fourth word worth Okay, um boy hot summer? Huh you

401
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:40,400
got that? Boy? That's all
right? Yeah, Bobby says, there's

402
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:47,640
one hundred and six. He said, it's what how hot? Um?

403
00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:52,759
What what did he say? One
hundred and six? Yeah? Yeah,

404
00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:58,519
um wow, that is yeah,
that is hot? Do I mean,

405
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:01,960
what's what's how's the word down up
there? I mean, we had a

406
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:06,319
hell of a heatwave recently, but
for this last week it's been kind of

407
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,079
kind of cool out and uh,
and a little bit rain. Well we've

408
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:13,079
had a lot of rain actually,
Like right now it's kind of kind of

409
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,639
it's humid, but it's not it's
not hot. But you know, we've

410
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:20,800
had the hottest summer ever here.
But you know, of course that's how

411
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,920
it is everywhere unfortunately. But um, do you guys, do you play

412
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,519
out a lot or obviously I know
this this whole thing is in flux right

413
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,840
now, uh don elle, but
have you played out a lot with this

414
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,320
project or or have you been mainly
focusing on recording the less lineup? The

415
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:45,000
first show was with opening up for
accept and everything. So, um,

416
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:50,440
we played out three shows I think, okay, you know, and um,

417
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:53,360
the reason the reason why we did
that was number one, Mitch is

418
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:00,159
from Oklahoma City and number two.
We was a little bit picky about can

419
00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:04,800
all gigs, But I think this
time around we're gonna try to play play

420
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,920
out more and everything and what not
be picky about the shows or anything.

421
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:15,400
So sure, sure, And what's
uh, what's the scene like there?

422
00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:17,760
It seems like, you know,
Texas is known for I mean a lot

423
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,320
of people who don't know any better
think it's you know, a lot of

424
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,880
country music and whatnot, and obviously
that's a lot of what's there, but

425
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,719
it seems like this also, I
think I'm gonna get this over with Robbie.

426
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,840
He could probably tell you better than
that came. Oh yeah, oh

427
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,119
yeah, yeah yeah. Can you
hear can you hear me? Hear me?

428
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,679
Yeah? Yeah, what's up,
hey, Robbie? Yeah? What's

429
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,039
uh? What's the scene like there? Because you know, I was just

430
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:40,119
saying, yeah, a lot of
people have this conception of Texas. It's

431
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:42,719
like, you know, a lot
of country music and all that, and

432
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,559
obviously there is a lot of that
there, but I get the impression there's

433
00:35:45,559 --> 00:35:49,320
also a lot of metal, like
a lot of metal bands, probably a

434
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,480
lot of them that you know,
we haven't even become aware of yet in

435
00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:55,840
this part of the country kicking around. But am I correct about that?

436
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,719
Is there a lot of metal?
Well? Yeah, well, I mean

437
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,119
it goes up and down. I
mean when I first moved up to DFW,

438
00:36:04,199 --> 00:36:07,199
I'm originally from the Houston area,
So when I first moved up here,

439
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:13,239
it was booming. There was so
much underground you know, death metal,

440
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:19,199
black metal, uh, thrash everything
going on. And then after a

441
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,039
couple of years, you know,
slowed down a little bit and then now,

442
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:23,360
you know, and then it picked
up a little bit, and then

443
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,079
it slowed down a little bit,
and then it now it's kind of slowly

444
00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:32,639
but surely picking back up, you
know. So it's uh, it's it's

445
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,360
it always kind of come and go. I mean, you know, we've

446
00:36:36,599 --> 00:36:42,239
there's not the same venues come and
go, and they're you know, bands

447
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,239
come and go, and it you
know, it's it's happening. It's there's

448
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,239
always new bands being formed. I
mean, ever since I moved up here,

449
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,559
I've been in like six eight six
or six or seven different bands.

450
00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:58,400
So I mean it just you know, every day there's a new band coming

451
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:04,280
and newer new venue you opening up. So it's it's you know, it's

452
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,440
opened down. Yeah. And as
a drummer, of course, uh,

453
00:37:07,679 --> 00:37:10,280
you've had a lot of options.
I'm sure it seems like bands are always

454
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:16,000
looking for drummers, oh all the
time. Yeah. I mean I have

455
00:37:16,159 --> 00:37:20,639
three different projects right now. One
one band I'm in is a like a

456
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,480
blackened death metal band, and uh
this one here thrash metal. So you

457
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,880
I mean it's and I'm my favorite
thing to play, believe it or not,

458
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:34,480
it is actually like eighties glam metal. Oh no kidding. I'm in

459
00:37:34,519 --> 00:37:37,199
a couple of cover bands from that
kind of focus around that kind of stuff

460
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,880
too, So oh very cool.
Yeah, so you you you're staying busy.

461
00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:44,599
So how did you become How did
this come about? You becoming a

462
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:50,639
part of this band? Past the
Ammunition? Well, I'm donell about five

463
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,800
years ago and it's a it's kind
of a slow process and always been busy

464
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:58,239
with other different projects and work and
all that other stuff. You know how

465
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,679
it goes, I do. But
finally, you know, a few months

466
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:07,239
ago, I was finally had a
clear, clear schedule only had yeah yeah,

467
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,519
yeah, only I only had one
band on my plate, so I

468
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,400
was finally able to do it.
So it just I knew don Nelle for

469
00:38:16,039 --> 00:38:21,000
about four or five years now,
so it was always listened to the songs,

470
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,719
always like the music. It just
you know, never never could find

471
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,679
the right opportunity for me to jump
in, you know what I mean.

472
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,440
When they needed a drummer, I
couldn't do it. When they had a

473
00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:36,159
drummer, I could do it.
You know how it goes? Absolutely absolutely

474
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:39,159
well that's uh so is there a
kind of a do you guys have any

475
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:43,440
shows coming up, Like is there
a point where you're gonna finally get to

476
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,960
play live with these guys or maybe
maybe you have already. I don't know,

477
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:52,360
but we beat that question again.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

478
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:59,000
definitely were planning on ticket on the
road too. So good we got

479
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:05,920
we we got offered, uh like
I think it was eight thousand bucks to

480
00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:12,559
come to Kentucky the players show there. Yeah, but at that point we

481
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:17,039
didn't have a drummer, a real
drummer, you know, we have feeling

482
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:23,760
drummer our friend or Kobe Rogers filling
in, So we just didn't have a

483
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:29,880
really permanent drummer to do it.
Yea, but we fished the make up

484
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,760
for that, you know, and
try to do some uh hit the hit

485
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,320
the road like weekend shows. Uh
you know whenever the fans. We got

486
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:43,840
fans all over the place, so
they're gonna try to hit like weekend shows

487
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:50,880
like let's say, um, Kentucky
and uh Tennessee do that for a weekend

488
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,679
and come back, or New Orleans
and Florida come back. You know,

489
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:59,639
just places like the places like you
know, where the fans fans want want

490
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:05,000
us to be. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Um by the way.

491
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:08,079
So where does the name Past the
Ammunition come from? Is there a story

492
00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:15,920
behind that? Well? It Uh. I woke up one morning after uh

493
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,679
quitting my last band. I just
woke up like one, you know,

494
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,840
inspired, like yeah, all right, what we're gonna call this? And

495
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,000
there was a song called Praise's Lord
Past the Ammunition. Yes, you know,

496
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:37,480
uh it's an old song. Plus
plus a siege from System of a

497
00:40:37,559 --> 00:40:42,599
Down has a song called that.
Oh that's right, just past the Ammunition

498
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:45,440
itself. It's like, you know, it means like, you know,

499
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,559
past the medal, like bring on
the medal to me, That's what it

500
00:40:50,639 --> 00:40:54,679
means to me. Yeah. Yeah, So that's how I got the name.

501
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,679
I just thought would be a cool
name. Yeah, definitely, definitely

502

518
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,760
Like I said, I really really
like what you're doing. That song Shell

519
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:29,000
is just incredible. I think that's
gonna be I think that's gonna be one

520
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,639
of those tracks I do. I
do play from time to time on the

521
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,800
program. And in a moment,
we're gonna play another song from you guys.

522
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,199
All is fair, but we'll let
all us fair. We did when

523
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:43,280
we did that video. That was
a hot day. It was in this

524
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,719
building and it was about one oh
seven, and that I mean, we

525
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:50,159
was like sweating. Oh my god, me, I was thinking, like,

526
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,800
all right, this is just gonna
take two hours. It took like

527
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,920
almost the whole day to do that
video. Oh no kid, anything.

528
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:04,679
Yeah, we had to get in
our trucks or what cars in the AC

529
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,400
just to cool off and then go
and do another take of it and everything.

530
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:12,079
And we shot that video with a
metal Dave that's on tour with pan

531
00:43:12,199 --> 00:43:17,000
Tera right now. Oh no kid. So yeah, and you know,

532
00:43:17,119 --> 00:43:21,519
but the video came out great.
Yeah. I think it's a kick ass

533
00:43:21,639 --> 00:43:24,519
video. Absolutely. And by the
way, I always say, I think

534
00:43:24,559 --> 00:43:28,079
you might agree with me. I
think rock and roll should be sweaty,

535
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,960
just generally. Anyway, Oh,
it was worth it. I mean by

536
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,400
the end of the day, it's
like when we got back to my apartment,

537
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,719
you know, I turned on the
AC high blast and Mitch, you

538
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:42,679
know, him being the warrior,
he had to drive back to Oklahoma City.

539
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,079
I told him like, yo,
man, just chill out and the

540
00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:47,280
cool off a little bit, you
know, But he's a warrior, you

541
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:52,360
know. He you know, got
back in the truck and trucked it back

542
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,400
to Oklahoma City. So yeah,
yeah, well, well worth it.

543
00:43:55,559 --> 00:44:00,519
Very cool. I suggest people check
that out on YouTube, and all right,

544
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,280
Donnelle and Robbie, we're gonna let
you go. I'm gonna play this

545
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,679

551
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:28,880

we're coming up to the top of the

552
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,920

614
00:57:21,719 --> 00:57:24,280
that we can hear and enjoy your

at six zo three two five six

616

guys again, Donnelle and Robbie from the

617
00:57:32,519 --> 00:57:37,360
band Pass the Ammunition. We've heard
a couple of their songs on the show

618
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,199
today there from Texas, and they
skyped in and enjoyed that quite a bit.

619
00:57:40,719 --> 00:57:46,000
Very very much a fan of that
band. And also I played yesterday

620
00:57:46,039 --> 00:57:50,360
we did the world radio premiere,
but I decided to give it another spin

621
00:57:50,639 --> 00:57:53,320
because I love it so much.
The new single from Jerry and the Scumbags.

622
00:57:53,440 --> 00:58:00,800
It's called Hipster Dipster and it also
features Eric Pincher on lead guitar and

623
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:07,400
Billy Painter on drums and a guy
named Matts Covington or Covington on bass.

624
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,840
And by the way, I was
just looking at I didn't see this yesterday.

625
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:16,599
AD miss this somehow. But on
the band camp for Jerry and the

626
00:58:16,639 --> 00:58:22,360
Scumbags, in the description for the
single Hipster Dipster, it is up and

627
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,440
it's free. By the way,
you can get it on band camp.

628
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,599
It's a free download. There's a
little bit of an explanation about what the

629
00:58:28,679 --> 00:58:36,039
song is about and what inspired Jerry
Robinson, the amazing talent that he is.

630
00:58:36,119 --> 00:58:38,239
Jerry Robinson, by the way,
I'll tell you he's he's a next

631
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:45,079
level talent. It says here Hipster
Dipster is about the loser young people in

632
00:58:45,239 --> 00:58:52,400
society with their pagers and beepers beeper
devices rather, who don't respect old elderly

633
00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:57,960
people like myself. As a sixty
nine year old man, I get tired

634
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,039
of the stupid prank calls. So
I decided to write a song addressing my

635
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:07,079
emotional old man feelings about the subject. So there you go. That that

636
00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:13,599
kind of explains the muse of of
the song Hipster Dipster. We'll get caught

637
00:59:13,679 --> 00:59:17,760
up with everybody in the Facebook live
chat here, and then we'll um and

638
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:24,639
we will continue on with some stuff. Of course. Let's see, I

639
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:30,920
did see a couple new people pop
in. I think, oh, do

640
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:37,920
do do do do do? Yep? James H. Tribooki, I'm never

641
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,000
sure I'm saying his u last name
correctly. He's in the chat room.

642
00:59:40,119 --> 00:59:45,719
And also John Hopwood joins us in
the Facebook live chat. Also Miriam Banish

643
00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:52,400
in the chat room as well.
Let's see, and we said, uh,

644
00:59:52,599 --> 00:59:55,840
we said hello everyone else earlier,
of course, but again these studio

645
00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:00,199
line six three two five six z
seven six h three two five six zero

646
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:06,400
seven and just a couple of quick
programming notes let's see coming up tonight.

647
01:00:06,519 --> 01:00:08,400
Of course, it is Friday,
my favorite day here at WMNH. It

648
01:00:08,519 --> 01:00:12,800
is my long day at the station, and I love it so because i

649
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,639
do this show until six pm and
then I'm back tonight from eight to eleven

650
01:00:15,679 --> 01:00:21,800
pm for retro Spectrum Radio with Paul
ec I am one of Paul's co hosts

651
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,599
on that show, along with DJ
Steve and of course Mike from Queen City

652
01:00:24,719 --> 01:00:30,440
Cabinetry in the Historic Sun be Mall
of course, not only one of our

653
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,079
great sponsors here at WMNH, but
one of our co hosts on retro Spectrum

654
01:00:34,119 --> 01:00:37,119
Radio, and we have a great
time. No guests this week, apparently,

655
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,039
Paul called earlier it's just gonna be
the four of us, just the

656
01:00:39,239 --> 01:00:45,400
four of us, and we're gonna
hear some music and talk about it and

657
01:00:45,519 --> 01:00:50,119
it's touchy feely. I think that's
what Paul said, touchy feely songs this

658
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,639
week. So looking forward to that
a lot. So that will be tonight

659
01:00:52,719 --> 01:00:57,480
from eight to eleven pm. Oh
James says, as always, love the

660
01:00:57,519 --> 01:00:59,400
show. Matt, Thank you,
sir, thank you. I appreciate that

661
01:00:59,639 --> 01:01:04,559
trement. But yeah, join us
tonight Retrospectrum Radio with policy, and by

662
01:01:04,599 --> 01:01:07,280
the way, we recommend you know, we love having people in the Facebook

663
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,760
live chat during that show, so
please join us in there on the Retrospectrum

664
01:01:10,239 --> 01:01:15,119
Radio Facebook page, but open a
second browser tab and stream the audio of

665
01:01:15,239 --> 01:01:22,079
the show at WMH radio dot org. Paul actually mutes the Facebook feed so

666
01:01:22,199 --> 01:01:27,400
we don't get kicked off for violating
their copyright rules. But then so you

667
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,920
can chat with us. We love
being able to chat with the listeners on

668
01:01:30,119 --> 01:01:35,119
Facebook, but open a separate browser
tab so you can stream the show in

669
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:42,800
all of its uninterrupted stereo glory at
WMH radio dot org. Melanie just asked

670
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:47,039
a very inappropriate question in the Facebook
live chat. Melanie, I don't think

671
01:01:47,039 --> 01:01:50,840
I can read that on the air, but I will just say this.

672
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:57,000
I'll just say this much, Melanie, You never know. I'll leave it

673
01:01:57,039 --> 01:02:01,320
at that. Let's see. Oh, also too, we have our amazing

674
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:06,039
sponsor, the Hop Knot in the
Brady Sullivan right across the street. You

675
01:02:06,079 --> 01:02:10,199
know, they've got those delicious scourmet
pretzels, they have their ever burgeoning assortment

676
01:02:10,239 --> 01:02:14,719
of craft beers, and they've got
a big event coming up this weekend.

677
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:19,280
This is what they put on social
media. We took July off, but

678
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:23,000
this Saturday we are back with our
next installment of the Gender Blender Drag Show.

679
01:02:23,679 --> 01:02:28,920
Join us at ten pm on Saturday, August five as some of your

680
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:34,800
favorite local drag performers serve up some
Broadway realness. This is a twenty one

681
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,000
plus show with no cover. We
will reach capacity for this show, so

682
01:02:38,119 --> 01:02:42,239
please get here early if you'd like
a seat. If you're not here by

683
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,039
nine, then you may not get
a seat. Yeah, this is a

684
01:02:45,239 --> 01:02:47,519
very popular feature at the Hopknot.
When they do these, they fill up

685
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:53,039
very quickly. So so if Governor
Ron de Santisa, Florida, if he

686
01:02:53,159 --> 01:02:57,880
happens to be in the state campaigning, he might not be able to get

687
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:02,440
in over at the Hopknot because there
might just not be room. And we

688
01:03:02,519 --> 01:03:06,480
have a call, we'll grab this. Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed.

689
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:15,360
Who's this? Hello? Hello?
Hello? It sounds that voice is

690
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:19,400
familiar, but there's also this weird
buzzing in the background. I wonder if

691
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:27,480
it's some sort of alien. I've
been captured. Mac Oh, my goodness,

692
01:03:27,519 --> 01:03:31,320
it's John Hopwood. You've been captured
and probe I assume how is how

693
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:38,000
is that going not very well.
Uh huh, well that's disappointing. But

694
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:44,639
you can only yeah, I know, right, I mean some kind of

695
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:51,880
factory creating these anatomically correct dolls.
I see. How did they capture you?

696
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,760
Did they suck you in through the
Satanic portal? No? No,

697
01:03:55,960 --> 01:04:00,639
no, you never have any problems
with Satanic portal. Wow, that's quite

698
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:06,360
a relief. This is just as
straight and all the flying sauts that comes

699
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:13,679
down and just snatched me up all
right, like uh you know, Grandpa

700
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:18,239
Simpson, I really when they they're
appy you, I'm very easy to get.

701
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:23,599
I don't move very fast. That
surprises me because you're kind of a

702
01:04:23,639 --> 01:04:27,719
little guy. I would have assumed
that you'd be very quick and wiley.

703
01:04:29,679 --> 01:04:32,440
You would assume that would just make
an ass out of you and me.

704
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:41,199
I've never heard that before. Wow, wow, alright boy, Yeah,

705
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,519
we use cliches here at the factory. Oh you do? Huh? So

706
01:04:45,679 --> 01:04:49,639
they've so it's forced labor, is
what you're so? These aliens are forcing

707
01:04:49,679 --> 01:04:53,280
you to work in a factory.
Is it an is it actually is it

708
01:04:53,320 --> 01:05:00,079
a factory? Or is it an
Amazon distribution center? Oh no, oh

709
01:05:00,199 --> 01:05:04,079
no, no, Well I was
my great experience I'm an overseer, so

710
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:11,840
you know, these these poor drudges
here, you know, I uh,

711
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,679
you know, being a small man, I learned to be very nasty at

712
01:05:15,719 --> 01:05:20,000
an age because you got to do
something so you don't get the crap knocked

713
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:26,039
out of you. And the pre
the pre riddling days before they drugged all

714
01:05:26,079 --> 01:05:31,920
the boys, you know, So
I just shout a lot. You know,

715
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,320
I don't think some of these people, not all the people here are

716
01:05:36,599 --> 01:05:42,360
of human origin. Mac Well,
that sounds terrifying. Not to be xenophobic,

717
01:05:42,519 --> 01:05:47,639
but i'd be very frightened. Yes, you're you're being homophobics in human

718
01:05:47,719 --> 01:05:54,559
beings or I didn't catch that xenophobic. I don't mean to be xenophobic,

719
01:05:54,679 --> 01:06:00,639
but it sounds terrifying to be around
beings that are not necessarily human. Well,

720
01:06:00,719 --> 01:06:01,599
you know, I was in the
army and there were a lot of

721
01:06:01,639 --> 01:06:05,360
people from the deep stuff, you
know, the type that vote for you

722
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:10,159
know, people like Rick Defantas.
So I'm kind of used to being around

723
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:14,880
sub human life forms, but non
human life forms I'm getting used to.

724
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,039
Okay, you'd be surprised where you
know, Well, we're putting on the

725
01:06:19,559 --> 01:06:26,800
he's anatomically correct dolls n all of
them are the unit species mac and you'd

726
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:35,159
be surprised where the genitals are located
on some extraterrestrial creatures. Yes, I

727
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:42,400
believe there's something about that in Star
Trek six, uh, the the Undiscovered

728
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:47,679
Country, but we won't we won't
get into that. Uh but uh yeah,

729
01:06:48,119 --> 01:06:53,559
Um, all right, Well I
hope, I hope you're okay.

730
01:06:53,639 --> 01:06:58,960
I hope they are giving you food
and water and uh, what can I

731
01:06:59,079 --> 01:07:02,599
say? Sounds off right now?
Well, it was my idea to to

732
01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:10,639
you know, type in wm NAH
nine five point three FM. And I

733
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:16,440
was just wondering. We heard about
the Paul Kormire show. Yes there's a

734
01:07:16,519 --> 01:07:20,280
reason we don't we don't use the
word retro here. Oh, because there

735
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:26,199
were people that, yes, they
exist to an infinity of time, you

736
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:31,920
know. Oh but alpha or a
mega one of these people might actually be

737
01:07:32,639 --> 01:07:39,239
God aka Donald Jesus Trump, who
knows. You know, that's exciting job.

738
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,320
So you know, we don't want
to be time biggots here. But

739
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,159
right, so the Paul korm Your
show we heard about. But we were

740
01:07:46,239 --> 01:07:53,559
wondering if mister Pilchage is going to
be doing a film review today. Ah,

741
01:07:53,639 --> 01:07:57,239
there is no film review this week. He has been quite busy.

742
01:07:57,639 --> 01:08:00,440
He was not able to join me
Wednesday, and he was not able to

743
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:05,079
provide a film review today. But
hopefully he'll be back for the attack next

744
01:08:05,119 --> 01:08:11,559
week. Well, hopefully I'll still
be within this galaxy. Well, I

745
01:08:11,639 --> 01:08:18,640
certainly hope so you guys have a
nice time, and I do get a

746
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:25,640
discount on the anatomically correct dolls.
I may be coming. I may be

747
01:08:26,039 --> 01:08:30,520
in the process of evolving into a
wholesaler about all right. Well, that's

748
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:35,119
uh. You've got to seize upon
these opportunities when they present themselves. Hey,

749
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:39,079
hey, cut that out over there. Yeah, I gotta go.

750
01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:43,319
You know, some of these creatures
are acting up. I understand the non

751
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:49,279
union shop by hye, bye,
all right, bye John, all right,

752
01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:54,880
John Hopwood, Well, we certainly
hope for the best in his new

753
01:08:55,079 --> 01:08:59,039
intergalactic adventure. That does open up
the line for you. Six h three

755
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,319
us in the Facebook live chat and
says, I swear I'm gonna fly out

756
01:09:06,359 --> 01:09:11,880
there from Cali just to go to
the hopknot. I'm jones in for one

757
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:15,720
of those pretzels. Yes, they
are delicious. They are delicious. And

758
01:09:15,159 --> 01:09:18,920
Melanie had a specific question in the
chat room about what's happening to John Hopwood

759
01:09:19,039 --> 01:09:25,640
right now. And I can't answer
that, Melanie, But I just hope

760
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:30,319
that he I hope that he survives
at all. We'll just say that.

761
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,760
Oh, another quick programming note two. Yesterday on the show, we announced

762
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:44,119
that Mary Anne Williamson, Democratic candidate
for the president presidential nomination. She's running.

763
01:09:44,239 --> 01:09:48,840
She's running against Joe Biden for the
nomination. She will be here not

764
01:09:49,119 --> 01:09:53,279
on the original date that we had
announced, but on I believe the twenty

765
01:09:53,399 --> 01:09:59,600
second. She's not able to be
here on the eighteenth, as was originally

766
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,239
planned, but she'll be here for
the first hour on August twenty seconds.

767
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:10,159
So we look forward to that,
really looking forward to meeting her and talking

768
01:10:10,239 --> 01:10:16,000
with her. Oh, there's the
sirens. Happens once a show. Lots

769
01:10:16,039 --> 01:10:23,880
of lots of sirens outside. Let's
see a couple of just quick things I

770
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,720
wanted to look at that happened earlier
in the week. And if you're just

771
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,239
joining us, I'm kind of avoiding
all the all the Trump stuff I need.

772
01:10:30,399 --> 01:10:34,279
I'm getting that Trump fatigue syndrome.
I can feel it. It's just

773
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:39,000
exhausting. So I know it's a
big week. Yesterday we spent the almost

774
01:10:39,079 --> 01:10:44,479
the entire show talking about Trump's arrangement
as it was happening in real time because

775
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,560
I was at four o'clock at the
same time the show starts. So I'm

776
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:51,000
a little bit I'm a little bit
exhausted by all that. So again I

777
01:10:51,079 --> 01:10:54,000
said at the top of the show, if you're just joining us, if

778
01:10:54,039 --> 01:10:57,920
anyone wants to chime in on anything
regarding that, I shall defer to you

779
01:10:58,039 --> 01:11:01,479
as I like to accommodate the listeners, but left my own devices, we're

780
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,119
not going to get into that.
We've got plenty of time in the future

781
01:11:04,199 --> 01:11:12,239
to because God knows he's going to
continue to dominate the political headlines. But

782
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,720
I'd like to do some other things
for the moment. But obviously, you

783
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:18,600
know, if there's some big breaking
news or whatever regarding Trump, will certainly

784
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:23,520
talk about it if that occurs in
the next forty minutes or so. But

785
01:11:24,399 --> 01:11:32,039
Cardi b if you saw this,
she threw a microphone at an attendee at

786
01:11:32,079 --> 01:11:36,319
one of her at a concert.
So this has been a terrible trend.

787
01:11:36,359 --> 01:11:40,359
And you know, as someone who
also I'm a man of many hats,

788
01:11:41,039 --> 01:11:43,520
and uh, you know, I
do some work in the have done a

789
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,800
lot of work actually in the music
industry and in concert promotion and so forth.

790
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:51,800
And you hate to see this this
new trend now where people are throwing

791
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:57,039
things at artists while they're on stage
performing. Now that's not entirely new,

792
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:00,800
but uh, it's it seems to
be becoming more dangerous. Like people are

793
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,760
throwing cell phones. Why anyone would
throw a cell phone at someone performing is

794
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:10,279
a little I mean, I think
the idea is you throw your phone at

795
01:12:10,359 --> 01:12:15,600
the performer and you hope that they'll
catch the phone and then maybe take a

796
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:20,880
selfie while they're on stage of themselves
performing, and then throw the phone back

797
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:25,479
to you. I think that's the
idea. You know, that really enhances

798
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:30,439
the concert performance, if you can
throw a phone at the artists and they

799
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:35,199
actually and then they you've actually got
their DNA on your phone, right because

800
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:40,159
they're holding your phone and they're sweating
on your phone because they're under the hot

801
01:12:40,239 --> 01:12:43,520
stage lights, and then they throw
it back to you. I think that's

802
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:47,640
the fairytale idea. Of course,
there's so much that can go wrong if

803
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:51,239
you're going to throw a phone at
somebody on a stage, and by so

804
01:12:51,399 --> 01:12:55,000
much, I mean really everything.
There's not much that can go right.

805
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,239
Chances are they're not going to catch
it, but you might hit them in

806
01:12:58,319 --> 01:13:01,800
the face with it. And even
if they were to successfully catch it and

807
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,319
take a picture, it's not like
they're gonna be able to just throw it

808
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:08,239
right back to you. You there's
a good chance you're not going to get

809
01:13:08,279 --> 01:13:12,640
your phone back. But something else
happened with cardib somebody threw a drink in

810
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:18,279
her face, so she threw her
microphone at the alleged fan in the audience.

811
01:13:18,359 --> 01:13:20,920
But there's an update on this.
You got to see the video of

812
01:13:21,039 --> 01:13:26,119
this. But Shannon is online.
We'll talk to Shannon for a moment.

813
01:13:26,199 --> 01:13:30,600
Hi, Shannon, Hi, Matt, what Jenny? I had a question

814
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:36,760
these assets that are throwing things at
the stage, Yes, do security grab

815
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:42,319
them and just throw them out?
Oh? I'm sure yes, because I

816
01:13:42,399 --> 01:13:47,399
don't know if it shows that also
or or you know, explains the punishment,

817
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,159
you know, I mean, these
guys are trying to make a living

818
01:13:50,199 --> 01:13:55,920
and trying to entertain people, and
you always got those I don't know what

819
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,159
I'm allowed to say. Well,
I know what I'm not allowed to say,

820
01:13:58,199 --> 01:14:00,039
but I know this is okay,
so I won't say it. But

821
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:09,159
I mean, actually John Hopwood said
assinine ones, So I know I can't

822
01:14:09,159 --> 01:14:15,720
say that if they just stay home, yeah, or they should. They

823
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:20,600
should hand in all the cell phones
and be told listen, if you throw

824
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:25,439
something, you're out on your rear
end. Yeah. Well, I think

825
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,439
I think that goes without saying,
or at least it should go without saying.

826
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,760
Um. And I assume that probably
the kind of person who does that

827
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:34,239
they expect to be kicked out.
If you're throwing something at somebody on stage,

828
01:14:34,279 --> 01:14:40,399
you're definitely getting booted by security,
assuming they're able to identify in that

829
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:45,479
crowd who it is who threw the
offending object. Yeah, I mean,

830
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,720
come on, pete, how disgusting
does this world have to get for people

831
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:55,479
to wake up and just enjoy what's
out there and not abuse it, you

832
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,840
know. Yeah. Unfortunately, it's
not an entirely new trend. I mean,

833
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,520
I've been at shows where I saw
the past underwear soft things. Yeah,

834
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:10,199
well, that's that's always okay.
Melanie was saying that the chat room

835
01:15:10,279 --> 01:15:13,199
throwing underwear is still okay, right, Well, of course, but that's

836
01:15:13,239 --> 01:15:15,560
not going to harm anyone. And
and you know, in the especially in

837
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,039
the eighties with the hair bands,
it was not uncommon to see, you

838
01:15:19,119 --> 01:15:23,479
know, somebody Actually there's a video
of Kiss you know where you know,

839
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,600
Paul Stanley catches a bra that somebody
threw on stage and then he hangs it

840
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,760
off of the the neck of his
guitar. But uh, yeah, but

841
01:15:31,199 --> 01:15:36,680
I've been at shows where I mean, back Jesus would have been probably fifteen

842
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:42,159
years ago, I was. I
saw it Disturbed at a at a festival

843
01:15:42,359 --> 01:15:48,680
in Massachusetts where for some reason,
people were throwing throwing things at Dave Draymond

844
01:15:49,039 --> 01:15:51,119
and uh, you know, it
was just, uh, you know,

845
01:15:51,239 --> 01:15:55,279
the crowd, most of the crowd, obviously we're very into it. I

846
01:15:55,359 --> 01:15:59,479
think The Disturbed was actually the headliner
of the show. And uh, but

847
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,600
for some reason there were some people
close to the front of the stage who

848
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:04,640
were throwing stuff, and Dave Draymond
actually stopped and said, you know,

849
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:06,800
if you keep that up, we're
just gonna leave. We're just gonna stop

850
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:11,680
playing and leave. And uh,
and they did stop, they did stop

851
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,920
throwing things. Oh, I was
hoping you were going to see if you

852
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,079
don't stop it, I'm going to
come down there and kick your ASTs.

853
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:20,960
Well, Dave Draymond the right,
he was assaulted first. Yeah, well

854
01:16:21,199 --> 01:16:24,760
yeah, and he's uh, he's
kind of a big I mean, he's

855
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,239
not a tall tall man, but
he's he's muscular. I wouldn't mess with

856
01:16:28,359 --> 01:16:30,560
him. I remember, I was
just gonna say Shannon too. I remember

857
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,640
back in uh, back in the
nineties, like when Guns n' Roses was

858
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:38,399
first getting big, there was video
I remember seeing you know, this was

859
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:42,319
pre internet, but we would see
the video on MTV of or in the

860
01:16:42,399 --> 01:16:45,680
news of Axel Rose jumping into the
crowd, not because people were throwing things,

861
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,760
but because he would see a fight
going on, you know, toward

862
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,479
the front row, and he would
get mad and he would jump in and

863
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:56,560
defend whoever was getting pushed around,
which is you know, Axel. You

864
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,439
can say a lot of negative things
about him, but he did. I

865
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:01,199
mean, I don't know if he
would do that now, but back then,

866
01:17:01,319 --> 01:17:03,079
he was not afraid to get in
there. And you know, if

867
01:17:03,079 --> 01:17:06,079
he saw somebody getting pushed around,
he'd jump in. He'd jump in and

868
01:17:06,159 --> 01:17:10,600
defend him. He didn't want that
going on at their shows, right,

869
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:14,640
And I'm not going to harp on
the fact of my vision. But you

870
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:21,359
know, even watching videos or or
movies repeatedly, Um, I miss a

871
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:25,640
lot of things, you know,
a lot of the little things or whatever.

872
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:31,680
So it's just could you know whatever
intel to know that you know people

873
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:39,159
are such I don't know, shape
up, that's right, do better.

874
01:17:39,319 --> 01:17:45,479
You have the privilege of seeing these
guys play. And I saw I don't.

875
01:17:46,199 --> 01:17:48,399
I remember when I was in high
school. I saw a lover boy

876
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:57,079
and talking down at arms Park.
Yeah. Um. And I saw a

877
01:17:57,159 --> 01:18:00,119
couple that I saw Neil Diamond at
the Verizon. I'm still gonna call it

878
01:18:00,239 --> 01:18:04,840
that. Uh. And and there
was one I think it was Motley True

879
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:11,239
skid Row and someone up. I
don't know, but it was three of

880
01:18:11,279 --> 01:18:14,840
the hair bands, like you know. And uh, I mean that was

881
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,039
you know good. But those are
the only concerts I've been to. Oh

882
01:18:17,199 --> 01:18:24,239
really? Oh I yeah, so
no, I've been lots and lots.

883
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,600
Well, good Share every now and
then when you were at a loss for

884
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,720
something, share or share stories so
I can see what I've missed. Okay,

thank you for the call. We appreciate

889
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:51,399
it already. Bye, all right, bye bye, all right. That

890
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:54,920
was our friend, Shannon, and
that does open up a line for you.

891
01:18:55,079 --> 01:18:59,560
Six zo three two five six zero
seven six three two five six seven.

892
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:01,079
You know what I was just thinking
about too, And we've actually talked

893
01:19:01,119 --> 01:19:06,159
about this on Paul's show on Retrospectrum
Radio. I think more than once is

894
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:11,319
not just people throwing things, but
there was a trend, I don't know,

895
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:15,319
probably in the late two thousands,
people showing up at concerts with those

896
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:21,039
laser pointers. And um, there's
a couple of videos of this happening at

897
01:19:21,119 --> 01:19:28,479
Kiss shows where Paul Stanley, you
know, threatened to do something really uncomfortable

898
01:19:29,319 --> 01:19:33,960
to someone who had a laser pointer. With the laser pointer, but uh,

899
01:19:34,439 --> 01:19:38,239
you know that's dangerous too because if
you you know, you could actually

900
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,159
harm someone's retina if you get them
in the eye with that laser pointer.

901
01:19:42,319 --> 01:19:46,640
It's it's not funny. So you
don't even have to throw something, actually

902
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:55,640
throw a physical object to potentially harm
someone on stage Kyle Clayton from the Morning

903
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,319
Show. As in the chat room, he says, I'd throw more than

904
01:19:58,359 --> 01:20:01,760
a mic if someone did that.
Yeah, if someone threw a drink in

905
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:06,000
your face at a show. Yeah
yeah. The um And you know it's

906
01:20:06,079 --> 01:20:14,239
interesting. So when I first heard
the story in the news about Cardi b

907
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,479
throwing a microphone at somebody in the
crowd, I the mental picture that I

908
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:25,640
had was different than the reality of
it. Um. The mental image was,

909
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,720
She's on a on a stage in
a in an arena doing a concert

910
01:20:30,279 --> 01:20:35,680
and somebody throws a drink because you
can, uh, you know, we've

911
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:39,880
all seen this happen. You can
be in a big crowd, in an

912
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:45,000
arena crowd and if you've got a
cup full of a drink, you know,

913
01:20:45,079 --> 01:20:46,800
if you do it just right,
you can you can make that whole

914
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:50,800
cup full of whatever is in it
fly and hit somebody in the face from

915
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:56,319
a distance. Um. And uh, that's what I thought had happened when

916
01:20:56,359 --> 01:20:58,880
I heard that someone had thrown a
drink in her face. I thought somebody

917
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,239
in the crowd had thrown a cup
of coke or whatever and throwing it at

918
01:21:02,279 --> 01:21:05,079
her and it hit her, and
then she threw the mic at the person

919
01:21:05,159 --> 01:21:09,520
in the crowd, and based on
that assumption that I had in my mind

920
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,439
when I first heard the story,
my first thought was, Wow, I

921
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,880
hope she has really good aim,
because if you're throwing a microphone into a

922
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,399
crowd like that, you better make
sure you're you're throwing it at the right

923
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:23,199
person. Number one, not that
it's a good idea at all. You

924
01:21:23,239 --> 01:21:27,159
shouldn't do that, Yeah, because
again, there's just too much that can

925
01:21:27,239 --> 01:21:30,600
go Obviously, there's a lot that
can go wrong with throwing whatever it is

926
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,479
it's being thrown to begin with,
and you shouldn't do that. But you

927
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:41,319
also shouldn't respond by throwing something like
a microphone at somebody because again, first

928
01:21:41,359 --> 01:21:45,039
of all, your aim better be
perfect or you're gonna hit the wrong person.

929
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,199
Second of all, you could cause
serious injury. Even though the person

930
01:21:49,359 --> 01:21:53,399
who you know, even if you
do definitely hit the right person, you

931
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,199
could really mess him up if it
hits them in the face. I mean,

932
01:21:56,359 --> 01:21:59,720
look, I know, you know, I'm not gonna have a whole

933
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,199
hell a lot of sympathy for whoever, through the drink or whatever the object

934
01:22:02,319 --> 01:22:05,800
is that they're throwing at somebody.
You know, an argument could be made

935
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,479
they brought that on themselves. But
still, you know, if you if

936
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,319
you really injure them in some way
by throwing that microphone at them, you're

937
01:22:13,319 --> 01:22:15,560
gonna end up, you know,
with a lawsuit. Yeah, there's a

938
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:19,680
lot that can go wrong. You
might be charged with AsSalt because what they

939
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:24,279
threw was something harmless like a drink, and you threw something hard. Anyway,

940
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:27,920
when I saw the video, the
actual video of what happened, it

941
01:22:28,039 --> 01:22:31,960
was not what I imagined. It's
actually like she's doing a small show somewhere

942
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,279
and it's like, just from what
I saw in the video, she's she's

943
01:22:35,399 --> 01:22:40,199
right at the edge of the stage, right up close, and somebody They

944
01:22:40,279 --> 01:22:45,359
didn't throw a cup, They just
kind of threw it so where you know,

945
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,640
they they moved the cup quickly so
that the drink actually, you know,

946
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:53,319
like you would do if you were
sitting with somebody and you throw a

947
01:22:53,399 --> 01:22:56,119
drink in someone's face, or if
someone throws a drink in your face.

948
01:22:56,359 --> 01:22:59,319
Not that that's ever happened to me, but you know, like that,

949
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:02,439
that's what it really was. Somebody
got up close to her and just through

950
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,680
that drink in her face, and
then she responded by chucking that microphone right

951
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,560
at them. But I mean they
got her good, Like her face is

952
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:14,479
covered in whatever was in that cup. So she chucked the microphone right at

953
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:21,760
them, and I don't blame her. John Hopwood in the Facebook live chat

954
01:23:23,119 --> 01:23:28,039
says, why doesn't someone throw a
bagel at Chris Christie because it could be

955
01:23:28,159 --> 01:23:31,880
fatal to the thrower as he stampede
to devour the bag of baked goods.

956
01:23:32,359 --> 01:23:36,520
That's what we call fat shaming,
John, and I don't think we can

957
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:43,680
do that. Oh my goodness.
John Hoppwood also says, don't be so

958
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:48,720
earnest mac. Let's see. Apparently
there was some question about whether Cardi b

959
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:56,640
would be charged for battery because of
throwing that microphone, but the BBC John

960
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,520
Hoppood says fat shaming. I am
fat. Well, that's why you can

961
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,319
get away with it, you know
you can. You can get away with

962
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,159
you know, like if you know, like I could tell an Irish joke

963
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:10,760
because you know I'm Irish, so
I can get away with it. But

964
01:24:11,359 --> 01:24:14,119
that's true. I mean you can
play that card and use that loophole.

965
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:21,640
That is true. So this is
from the BBC US Police drop battery investigation

966
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:29,239
overthrown microphone. It says the Las
Vegas Police have dropped their criminal battery investigation

967
01:24:29,279 --> 01:24:32,119
into an incident which saw rapper cardib
throw a microphone at someone in the crowd.

968
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:38,159
The incident occurred John up, what's
making me laugh? In the chat.

969
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,079
The incident occurred last weekend after a
member of the audience appeared to throw

970
01:24:42,199 --> 01:24:45,560
water at the performer. At least
it was only water and not some some

971
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:49,319
soda or some alcoholic beverage. You
know, water is at least water is

972
01:24:49,359 --> 01:24:55,880
easy to clean up. A video
of the star taking matters into her own

973
01:24:55,920 --> 01:25:00,720
hands at Drey's Beach Club was widely
shared on social media at the time.

974
01:25:01,079 --> 01:25:06,840
I assume that's how I pronounced that
dr Ai dre dry Dreya. I don't

975
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:14,000
know, but she will now face
no charges due to quote insufficient evidence,

976
01:25:14,159 --> 01:25:18,520
police said, insufficient evidence. I
mean, I'm glad she's not being charged

977
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:23,359
because whoever threw a drink in her
face to begin with shouldn't have done that.

978
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,880
But insufficient evidence is video of it, it says here. This is

979
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:35,600
from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
in a statement shared to the media.

980
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:41,000
Quote, after a thorough review of
this case, and with the consultation from

981
01:25:41,079 --> 01:25:45,479
the Clark County District Attorney's office,
this case has been closed as having insufficient

982
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:50,359
evidence. No charges will be filed
in relation to this case. Unquote.

983
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:58,039
I wonder if it's the person who
whom the microphone was thrown at. I

984
01:25:58,119 --> 01:26:00,960
wonder if they didn't come forward or
I didn't want to press charges or something.

985
01:26:01,399 --> 01:26:04,439
You know, they're probably pretty embarrassed
about, you know, throwing a

986
01:26:06,039 --> 01:26:12,640
drink in her face and consequences thereof
knowing that they had made a terrible mistake.

987
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,279
It says here are lawyers for the
Grammy Award winner responded by thanking the

988
01:26:15,319 --> 01:26:20,920
police for their quote, diligent and
prompt resolution of this matter unquote, in

989
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:28,119
a statement reported by multiple outlets.
So what happened in the footage caught on

990
01:26:28,279 --> 01:26:32,840
camera from multiple angles by several fans? See, that's that's one good thing

991
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,199
about you know, everybody's got their
phones out. Some people complain about that.

992
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:40,239
People don't think it's cool, you
know, to have your phone out

993
01:26:40,319 --> 01:26:43,319
at a show, because why can't
you just stand there and enjoy the show.

994
01:26:43,359 --> 01:26:44,920
Why do you have to have your
phone out? Why do you have

995
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,399
to be taking pictures? And streaming
and everything. Um, you know,

996
01:26:47,399 --> 01:26:49,760
I don't see anything wrong with it. You know you want you want to

997
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:54,520
document the experience. There's nothing wrong
with that in my opinion. But also

998
01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:57,800
a good thing about it is if
something goes wrong, you know you've got

999
01:26:58,199 --> 01:27:03,880
You've got it caught on tape,
So it says here. In the footage

1000
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:09,520
caught on camera from multiple angles by
several fans, security staff are seen surrounding

1001
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:14,680
the perpetrator at the front of the
crowd while recovering the rappers. Microphone footage

1002
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:17,640
from earlier in the concert showed Cardi
b asking a different member of the audience

1003
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:24,680
to spray her from behind as she
turned her back to the crowd. Huh

1004
01:27:27,359 --> 01:27:34,199
is this so all right? I
don't know what's going on here at this

1005
01:27:34,279 --> 01:27:40,840
show, but that sentence that I
just read is very strange. Later,

1006
01:27:42,239 --> 01:27:45,880
what's going on here? Later in
the show, the thirty year old explained

1007
01:27:46,079 --> 01:27:58,640
the earlier spray had been I'm uncomfortable
reading this, all right, I'm just

1008
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:02,119
gonna do it. I mean,
there's no it's just my own mind putting

1009
01:28:02,159 --> 01:28:06,000
things in there that shouldn't be there. Later in the show, the thirty

1010
01:28:06,039 --> 01:28:10,880
year old explained the earlier spray had
been done on her back and under her

1011
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:15,359
own instruction, whereas she objected to
the other member of the crowd unexpectedly throwing

1012
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:21,840
water which hit her face. Las
Vegas police later confirmed that a show attendee

1013
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:27,680
had come forward to report a battery, but have now concluded that no crime

1014
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:31,560
was committed. The microphone in question
was reportedly being auctioned off on eBay,

1015
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:38,560
reaching more than ninety nine thousand dollars
so far, by the owner of an

1016
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:43,560
audio company. Oh so, whoever
owns that microphone, they're selling it and

1017
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:49,359
it's now a piece of entertainment history. Apparently, Cardi b is best known

1018
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:51,840
for well, we don't need to
get in all that, all right?

1019
01:28:54,840 --> 01:29:00,399
She is the latest performer to have
had items some of these songs us we

1020
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:04,000
don't need to get into. She's
the latest performer to have had items thrown

1021
01:29:04,079 --> 01:29:11,199
at them while on stage in recent
months, following similar incidents including Hairy Styles

1022
01:29:11,319 --> 01:29:16,399
and Pink Styles. Was hit in
the eye with a sweet at a gig

1023
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:19,880
in November. What does that mean? With a sweet like a piece of

1024
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:25,359
candy? I guess it's the BBC. I guess they say sweet instead of

1025
01:29:25,359 --> 01:29:28,319
pieces of candy. I don't know. This is why we had to have

1026
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:32,560
the American Revolution because they used words, and I'm confused by some of them.

1027
01:29:34,079 --> 01:29:40,880
Why can't they speak American like the
rest of us. Anyway, Styles

1028
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:44,319
was hit in the eye with what
I assume was a piece of candy in

1029
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:48,359
November, and more recently, Pink
looked stunned. Oh god, that's right.

1030
01:29:48,399 --> 01:29:55,159
I heard about this when a bag
of human ashes was thrown on stage.

1031
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:00,640
I have to tell you I would
be quite stunned as well. Like

1032
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,079
if I was sitting here. Let's
say I'm sitting here doing the radio show

1033
01:30:04,119 --> 01:30:09,039
one day and just somebody runs in
here with a bag of human ashes.

1034
01:30:11,119 --> 01:30:14,159
Well, actually I would probably invite
them on because I'd be so fascinated.

1035
01:30:14,239 --> 01:30:18,359
I'd want to know why they chose
to do that, you know, in

1036
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:20,640
whose ashes there were and whatnot,
because I you know, I like to

1037
01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:30,399
interview people. I have an inquisitive
mind. I'm curious. Sweet but psycho

1038
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:34,520
singer Ava Max I guess that's a
band has also been slapped on stage of

1039
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:45,720
late, while somebody else threw a
bracelet at country singer Kelsey Ballerini Adele recently

1040
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:49,159
joked with her Las Vegas audience that
she would kill anyone who tried to chuck

1041
01:30:49,399 --> 01:30:55,520
something at her. Well, there
you go. So that's a terrible trend.

1042
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,800
I hope that. I hope it
passes soon. Very often these trends,

1043
01:31:00,359 --> 01:31:03,840
which is good, at some point, some degree of collective sanity is

1044
01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:11,439
restored, or at least we can
hope Shannon's calling back. Hi, Shannon,

1045
01:31:13,159 --> 01:31:17,359
Hi, I just wanted to say
the girl who put she asked Pink

1046
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:23,640
if she could put those ashes.
It was her mother's ashes, and her

1047
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:28,359
mother mustle she loved Pink and just
asked her if she could put them there

1048
01:31:29,319 --> 01:31:34,159
while she played. And Pink was
like, okay, maybe you know,

1049
01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:38,159
she was a little uncomfortable, awkward, you know, but that's who.

1050
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:41,319
That's whose ashes it was. At
least that's what I heard on another store.

1051
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,560
Okay, Dory, No, that's
good. So it's not like somebody

1052
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:50,279
threw a bag of their mother's ashes
by the speaker. Oh okay, oh

1053
01:31:50,399 --> 01:31:55,680
so the ashes and they asked permission
first. Yeah, yeah, well that's

1054
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,880
I mean, okay, so that's
good. So that's in a completely different

1055
01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:03,079
category because not only was nothing thrown, but I do think, uh and

1056
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:06,680
you know, and I credit my
family for raising me. Right, you

1057
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:11,239
know, I have manners. I'm
unfailingly polite. I think if you are

1058
01:32:11,359 --> 01:32:15,680
going to, uh put a bag
of ashes on a stage while someone is

1059
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:18,319
performing, you should ask their permission. Yeah, it's respectful, right.

1060
01:32:18,359 --> 01:32:21,840
It would be presumptuous to show up
with a bag of ashes and just PLoP

1061
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:27,079
them there and say yeah, yeah, yeah, hey pink, look it's

1062
01:32:27,119 --> 01:32:29,640
my mom and just throw them there. You know, you want to you

1063
01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:33,600
know, it's something you want to
approach with some decorum and uh and and

1064
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:39,720
respectfully. So I commend the person
for that. Yeah, I just want

1065
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,000
to let you know why. Yes, I appreciate it, Shannon. Okay,

1066
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,159
bye, okay bye bye. Yes, I mean, and you know,

1067
01:32:46,199 --> 01:32:48,239
it's a teachable moment. You know, if you're gonna, you know,

1068
01:32:48,279 --> 01:32:50,800
if you're gonna show up with ashes, I would say anywhere. You

1069
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:54,439
know, if you're, uh,
say, you're going out to dinner with

1070
01:32:54,640 --> 01:32:58,439
some friends and maybe you have some
ashes from a loved one and you know

1071
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,960
you want to bring them with you, you know, uh, I mean,

1072
01:33:01,079 --> 01:33:04,560
you know, go ahead and bring
the bag of ashes, but before

1073
01:33:04,600 --> 01:33:08,399
you just PLoP it on the table
in the middle of dinner. You're gonna

1074
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:11,359
want it, maybe check with the
restaurant. There could be a health code

1075
01:33:11,399 --> 01:33:14,920
violation potentially there, and you want
your other dinner partners to make sure.

1076
01:33:15,079 --> 01:33:15,840
I mean they're gonna be cool with
it, right, I mean, if

1077
01:33:15,840 --> 01:33:18,039
it's your mom's ashes, they're gonna
be like, oh yeah, your mom

1078
01:33:18,079 --> 01:33:21,079
can hang out with us. You
know, uh kind of wish you know,

1079
01:33:21,199 --> 01:33:25,319
she wasn't a bag of ashes.
That's a little weird, but whatever,

1080
01:33:25,399 --> 01:33:27,880
we'll roll with it. We're your
friend and we support you. But

1081
01:33:28,279 --> 01:33:30,920
you know, the waiter or waitress
or server, I guess is the term

1082
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,680
we use, they might be a
little bit freaked out. But then again,

1083
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:36,439
they wouldn't have to know. You
know, they could just they could

1084
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,680
come over to take your order and
they could just be like, hey,

1085
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,680
you got a bag of ashes there, and you could just say, oh

1086
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,279
yeah, that's don't worry about it. It's we're gonna have some herbal tea

1087
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:50,359
after our meal or something, you
know, and just just to kind of,

1088
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:55,960
you know, calm everything down.
Six zo three two five oh six

1089
01:33:56,039 --> 01:33:58,479
O seven is the studio line.
If you'd like to join us, six

1090
01:33:58,560 --> 01:34:00,079
zo three two five O six.
We do have a little bit of time

1091
01:34:00,159 --> 01:34:03,920
left. Melanie in the chat room
says, listen, Grandma always liked being

1092
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:08,279
included for dinner. I'm not asking
anyone. Well, yeah, I mean

1093
01:34:08,319 --> 01:34:12,560
it's your grandma, you know,
I understand. But Melanie, I would

1094
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:15,199
hope that if you're going to go
to a concert and you know, you

1095
01:34:15,279 --> 01:34:17,680
want your grandma to you know,
hang out by the one of the speakers,

1096
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:23,479
I would hope that you would ask
the performer or maybe even just check

1097
01:34:23,560 --> 01:34:26,680
with you know, check with one
of the security people. You know,

1098
01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:30,479
Hey, I got got grandma here, mind if I put her over there

1099
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,359
for a bit and uh, and
would you mind keeping an eye on her?

1100
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,039
And by the way, though,
just because she's my grandma, don't

1101
01:34:35,079 --> 01:34:38,840
treat her like she's special. You
know, if she starts acting out or

1102
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:42,680
whatever, you know, feel free
to kick her out. But probably not

1103
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:53,000
going to happen, because you know, she's ashes um all right. I

1104
01:34:53,039 --> 01:34:55,880
don't even know what that means,
John exactly, but it's funny for some

1105
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:00,239
reason. Uh speaking of uh,
now this is uh, since we're being

1106
01:35:00,319 --> 01:35:04,800
morbid on a on a Friday,
I want to kind of pick up on

1107
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:11,159
there was a story we did we
talked about yesterday on the show. Oh

1108
01:35:11,239 --> 01:35:13,920
so, I guess we didn't spend
yesterday entirely on Trump because I think I

1109
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,720
talked about this yesterday, or maybe
it was the day before, Ronda Santis

1110
01:35:17,359 --> 01:35:23,840
said, And there's there's been some
reaction to this. Now, Ronda Santis

1111
01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:28,159
said, you know, governor of
Florida has a little bit of an issue

1112
01:35:28,199 --> 01:35:32,399
with France people. Ronda Santis has
said that when he is elected president,

1113
01:35:33,199 --> 01:35:39,079
he's going to get rid of the
deep state because he's going to start slitting

1114
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:45,119
their throats. Now, that's some
pretty violent imagery. Just to be clear,

1115
01:35:45,279 --> 01:35:49,239
I'm not speaking hyperbolically. I'm not
paraphrasing anything he said. He literally

1116
01:35:49,319 --> 01:35:54,800
said that. He said he's going
to start slitting the throats of of people

1117
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:59,000
when he's president, when he's in
charge. He literally said that. I

1118
01:35:59,159 --> 01:36:02,000
understand he's using it as a figure
of speech. I'm assuming he's not actually

1119
01:36:02,039 --> 01:36:08,439
a serial killer. But apparently there's
been some, uh, there's been some

1120
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:13,279
reaction to his use of violent imagery, and I want to I want to

1121
01:36:13,319 --> 01:36:17,520
look at that. Melanie says he's
a psychopath. Yeah, I kind of

1122
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:23,239
get that vibe. And I believe
John Hopput is back on the line Hello,

1123
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:25,039
I heard a click, though I
don't know if he's still there,

1124
01:36:25,159 --> 01:36:30,359
John, Are you there all right? He's not there. So apparently for

1125
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:34,199
a major Republican candidate to go around
talking about slitting people's throats, some people

1126
01:36:34,239 --> 01:36:42,119
have noticed. This is from The
Guardian outrage after DeSantis says he'd start slitting

1127
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:48,840
throats if elected president. National Treasury
employee is union president calls Republicans remark on

1128
01:36:49,039 --> 01:36:56,920
federal jobs repulsive and unworthy of campaign
trail. It says here. Right wing

1129
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,439
Florida governor in twenty twenty four,
presidential hopeful rhnd De Santa was widely condemned

1130
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:04,439
after he said that if elected to
the White House, he would quote start

1131
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:11,359
slitting throats unquote in the federal bureaucracy
on his first dand power. And by

1132
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:15,479
the way too this, uh does
this make him? I mean he spends

1133
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:18,000
a lot of time sort of trying
to get to the right of Trump.

1134
01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:23,920
Does this qualify? Because Trump,
when he ran the first time, he

1135
01:37:24,079 --> 01:37:27,239
just talked about draining the swamp.
He was gonna he was gonna get to

1136
01:37:27,520 --> 01:37:30,279
get to DC and he was gonna
drain the swamp. I don't remember Trump

1137
01:37:30,359 --> 01:37:34,000
ever talking about slitting throats. I
think this is John Hoppit again? John?

1138
01:37:34,039 --> 01:37:38,720
Are you there? Yeah? I
got a quick break, Matt.

1139
01:37:39,279 --> 01:37:45,319
Oh you did. Wow? They
give you breaks a superposed are Oh that's

1140
01:37:45,399 --> 01:37:49,000
right, yes, and you're probably
in a union. You really, you

1141
01:37:49,119 --> 01:37:55,319
really don't know what the phrase getting
your ashes hauled means. I've never heard

1142
01:37:55,359 --> 01:38:00,279
that in my life. What does
that mean? No ashes sold? No?

1143
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:03,600
Does that mean like getting your ashes
hauled to a concert where you get

1144
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:08,600
dumped on the stage? What does
that mean? Well, let's put it

1145
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:12,880
this way. Is something you know. I don't want to cause any trouble

1146
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:15,720
between you and Jenny, So I'll
use myself as an example. If one

1147
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:20,840
of these comely young well we'll use
the term woman or not for now,

1148
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:27,520
even though some are of indetermined gender, being from other galaxies. If one

1149
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:32,720
of these young women at the factory
came up and said to me, who,

1150
01:38:33,319 --> 01:38:38,920
because of her ignorance, finds me
a dandy specimen of human being?

1151
01:38:39,119 --> 01:38:45,039
You know, a real paradigm of
studs them. If if she came up

1152
01:38:45,079 --> 01:38:51,800
to me and said, I'd like
to haul your ashes, what she means

1153
01:38:53,119 --> 01:38:57,199
is she wants to do to me
what Donald Trump has done to this country

1154
01:38:57,279 --> 01:39:03,760
for the past six years. It's
very dirty. Wow, okay, And

1155
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:14,039
I'm glad you're off that subject about
people throwing ashes at rock and roll stars

1156
01:39:14,239 --> 01:39:16,399
because it was getting pretty boring,
frankly, and I felt like I was

1157
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:20,039
going to have to come down there
and slit your throat. Oh my goodness,

1158
01:39:20,159 --> 01:39:28,039
wow, oh good thy goodness.
You have a good time with policy.

1159
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:30,600
All right, thank you, John. This ship goes on for a

1160
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:33,760
long time, so we'll be listening. All right, very good, Thank

1161
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:40,920
you. Bye, And don't get
your ashes hauled by any alien. That's

1162
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:46,600
that's good advice in any dimension.
It is, isn't it. Yes,

1163
01:39:46,720 --> 01:39:50,119
bye, all right, bye bye, all right. That was John Hopwood.

1164
01:39:50,479 --> 01:39:53,960
If you'd like to get in with
a quick call, I say quick,

1165
01:39:54,039 --> 01:39:57,560
because we are rapidly running out of
show. Six ZO three two five

1166
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,359
six Z seven is a studio line
six ZO three two five six seven.

1167
01:40:01,199 --> 01:40:08,159
It says here. The president of
the National Treasury Employees Union, Tony Reardon

1168
01:40:08,319 --> 01:40:13,760
called the hardline Republicans comment repulsive and
unworthy of the campaign trail. The president

1169
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:18,760
of the American Federation of Government Employees, Everett Kelly said, quote Governor DeSantis's

1170
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:27,039
threat to start slitting throats of federal
employees is dangerous, disgusting, disgraceful,

1171
01:40:27,159 --> 01:40:36,119
and disqualifying unquote. Among commentators,
the columnist Max Boot called DeSantis's words deranged,

1172
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:41,520
while Bill Crystal, founder of The
Bullwork, a conservative site, said

1173
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:47,319
the governor was quote making a bold
play to dominate the maniacal psychopath lane in

1174
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:51,920
the Republican primary. Unquote. By
the way, he kind of already owns

1175
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:57,720
that lane. I guess he wants
to make sure that he continues to claim

1176
01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:01,600
it. DeSantis is a clear second
to the Republican in the Republican primary by

1177
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:06,960
more than thirty points behind Donald Trump
in most averages, notwithstanding the former president's

1178
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:13,000
proliferating legal jeopardy, including seventy eight
criminal charges. On Friday, a major

1179
01:41:13,079 --> 01:41:15,760
poll in The New York Times ends
he had a college in the first state

1180
01:41:16,039 --> 01:41:23,840
to vote Iowa, put de Santis
twenty four points behind. DeSantis is widely

1181
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:29,439
seen to be trying to reset his
campaign, having fired staffers, including a

1182
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:33,680
conservative writer who created a video ad
containing a Nazi symbol, but the governor

1183
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:41,880
has not noticeably retooled his hard right
rhetoric. DeSantis made his comment about slitting

1184
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:45,600
throats at an event in the second
state to vote, New Hampshire last Sunday.

1185
01:41:48,359 --> 01:41:54,640
Quote on bureaucracy. You know we're
going to have all these deep state

1186
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:59,239
people. You know, we're going
to start slitting throats on day one and

1187
01:41:59,399 --> 01:42:03,039
be ready to go. You're going
to see a huge, huge outcry because

1188
01:42:03,159 --> 01:42:09,640
Washington wants to protect its own unquote. Asked later to clarify, he said,

1189
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:14,279
quote, the streets will be flowing
with blood. No, okay,

1190
01:42:14,359 --> 01:42:16,399
No, I made that part up. He didn't say that. Complaints about

1191
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:23,680
the so called deep state, notionally, an embedded government of officials and bureaucrats

1192
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:27,960
Republicans claim exists to thwart their agenda, is a common feature of fire right

1193
01:42:28,039 --> 01:42:31,760
campaigns from Trump down. Should he
return to power, Trump is widely reported

1194
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:45,079
to be planning, um act,
well yeah, it doesn't matter that stuff

1195
01:42:45,079 --> 01:42:47,279
we all already know that we've already
been talking about. But uh yeah,

1196
01:42:47,359 --> 01:42:56,600
so that's um so. Some reaction
to h de Santis is h comments there,

1197
01:42:58,199 --> 01:43:00,960
M yeah, a little off putting. I would say, a little

1198
01:43:00,239 --> 01:43:03,399
a little off putting. Let's see, do we have time for one more

1199
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:15,239
quick thing? Oh you know what
we didn't get to this week is well,

1200
01:43:15,279 --> 01:43:19,279
actually there's a couple of things.
Our credit rating, the United States

1201
01:43:19,399 --> 01:43:25,840
credit rating has been downgraded by one
of the ratings agencies, and it took

1202
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:30,439
a while for it to happen,
but NBC news dot Com as a story.

1203
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:35,000
What the US credit downgrade means for
taxpayers and consumers for now not much

1204
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:40,359
as changing, but economists say it
represents a warning about America's fiscal standing.

1205
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:44,319
Something that I talked about a lot
when we had that where we almost went

1206
01:43:44,359 --> 01:43:47,000
over the fiscal cliff this last time, is that, you know, I

1207
01:43:47,039 --> 01:43:53,159
don't think people, a lot of
people necessarily realize that even flirting with disaster

1208
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:58,359
without the disaster actually coming to fruition
is very dangerous when you're talking about the

1209
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,039
debt limit. And this is not
the first time. This is the second

1210
01:44:01,079 --> 01:44:04,800
time now. The first time that
our credit rating was downgraded by one of

1211
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:10,479
the agencies, one of the credit
ratings agencies was during the Obama administration,

1212
01:44:11,079 --> 01:44:16,000
when in twenty eleven we came perilously
close to default for the first time in

1213
01:44:16,079 --> 01:44:19,760
our nation's history. So even going
up to the edge, you know,

1214
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:24,920
we didn't go over the edge,
and people celebrate that, and I was

1215
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:29,840
relieved, of course, I was
very concerned about what could potentially be a

1216
01:44:30,119 --> 01:44:34,399
global economic armageddon if we were to
ever actually default. But even looking like

1217
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:39,479
we might default, like it's a
possibility, is in and of itself,

1218
01:44:40,159 --> 01:44:45,439
very very dangerous, John Hopwood says. In the chat room, doctor Jeff

1219
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:51,199
Cassell says, it is too minor
to really affect the US finances. Hopefully

1220
01:44:51,319 --> 01:44:57,560
that's true. That does seem to
be the dominant theory actually that this won't

1221
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:00,199
have a huge effect. But that's
not to say that it won't have any

1222
01:45:00,239 --> 01:45:06,760
effect. And you know, my
point is again, it does show that

1223
01:45:08,319 --> 01:45:13,239
there is a cost too, even
if we don't go over that line,

1224
01:45:13,279 --> 01:45:15,920
Even if we don't go over the
cliff, just walking up to the edge

1225
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:19,920
of the cliff and sort of standing
there and looking down, that has a

1226
01:45:20,079 --> 01:45:26,119
cost. John Hopwood says, Oh
my god, Matt, you are so

1227
01:45:26,359 --> 01:45:30,079
earnest. I am earnest. I'm
like an Annie DeFranco song. I'm very

1228
01:45:30,199 --> 01:45:34,640
very earnest. But so, anyway, there was that that was one thing

1229
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:38,560
that we didn't really get to this
week. Maybe we'll get into it a

1230
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:42,279
little bit next week also too,
if we get to it next week,

1231
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:47,439
The Hill dot com as a story
up GOP releases Devin Archer transcript after lawmakers

1232
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:54,399
give conflicting accounts. Devin Archer is
the one, a former business associate of

1233
01:45:54,479 --> 01:46:00,039
Hunter Biden. He went and testified
in a closed hearing, and the transcript

1234
01:46:00,119 --> 01:46:03,359
is out. You can read the
transcript. But of course, as always

1235
01:46:03,399 --> 01:46:09,960
happens, everyone goes to their ideological
corners, Republicans claiming that you know the

1236
01:46:10,039 --> 01:46:14,079
Stephen Archer testimony. This proves once
and for all that Hunter Biden is an

1237
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:18,319
international crime lord and Joe Biden is
a part of this Biden crime family and

1238
01:46:18,399 --> 01:46:24,600
all of that, and Democrats are
saying no, actually this is entirely the

1239
01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:28,760
opposite of that. But you can
read the transcript itself and make your own

1240
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:32,840
determination. I have not read the
transcript yet, but there are very differing

1241
01:46:33,279 --> 01:46:38,880
interpretations being offered right now. So
we will try to get into that next

1242
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:42,680
week as well, but we need
to begin to wrap up. So it

1243
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,760
is Friday, my favorite day here
at WM ANDH, so that means I

1244
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:51,319
will be back tonight at eight pm
eight to eleven pm for Retro Spectrum Radio

1245
01:46:51,399 --> 01:46:57,199
with Paul ec and of course DJ
Steve and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry.

1246
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:00,680
Really looking forward to that tonight.
The subject this week, the subject,

1247
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,479
I should say, because it's a
weekly show, is touchy feely songs and

1248
01:47:04,279 --> 01:47:10,319
it sounds like it will be very
romantic. John Upwood says it would be

1249
01:47:10,319 --> 01:47:14,520
a privilege to live through armageddon.
I don't know. I don't know about

1250
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:15,920
that. I don't know if about
a privilege. J Fed in the chat

1251
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:19,359
room says, see you tonight,
So thank you again, by the way,

1252
01:47:19,399 --> 01:47:25,680
to Donnelle and Robbie from the band
pass the Ammunition from the great State

1253
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:30,119
of Texas. Really enjoyed talking with
them. And if you miss any part

1254
01:47:30,159 --> 01:47:32,960
of today's show, it'll be up
in just a little bit at WMH radio

1255
01:47:33,079 --> 01:47:38,359
dot org and in my website Matt
Connerton dot com. Don't forget our amazing

1256
01:47:38,399 --> 01:47:42,079
sponsor, the Hopknot. They've got
those delicious goomet pretzels. And tomorrow night

1257
01:47:42,239 --> 01:47:45,399
at ten pm they've got another it's
been it's been a little while, they've

1258
01:47:45,399 --> 01:47:49,520
got another gender Blender event. Just
make sure you get there early. If

1259
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:53,039
you want to be a part,
well not a part of the show,

1260
01:47:53,079 --> 01:47:54,640
well maybe a part of the show, I don't know, but if you

1261
01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:59,239
want to be in the audience,
because that tends to be standing room only.

1262
01:48:00,279 --> 01:48:02,439
They get to capacity very quickly with
the gender blender. All right,

1263
01:48:03,079 --> 01:48:05,680
So that's gonna do it for me. For now, I'm gonna leave you

1264
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:09,439
with a little more. You know, yesterday we did the world radio premiere

1265
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:13,600
of the new Jerry and the Scumbag
song Hipster Dipster. I think we're gonna

1266
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:15,399
play the first single to close out
the show, just because it's stuck in

1267
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:18,479
my head and I feel like hearing
it. I'm the man, the great

1268
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:23,119
Jerry Robinson. This is great stuff. So we will end with this to

1269
01:48:23,319 --> 01:48:26,760
close out today is Matt Connerton Unleashed. Thank you all so much. Everybody,

1270
