the show. We're gonna pretend that
first thirty three minutes of problems just never

3
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:50,399
happened, all right, So we're
starting over here. Welcome everybody to Matt

Etc. Today is Friday, July twenty

10
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,599
eight, two thousand and twenty three, So today on the show. So

11
00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:25,239
we're gonna have in just a few
minutes. Actually, Eric Pilcher's classic film

12
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:30,519
review and this week the subject is
the film Fight Club. It was originally

13
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:36,920
supposed to be True Romance. However, Eric was having some difficulty finding clips

14
00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,480
of the film True Romance to use
for some reason, so he had to

15
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,719
abandon that and go with Fight Club
instead. Although personally I'm a huge fan

16
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,680
of the movie Fight Club. Not
a big fan of the film True Romance,

17
00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,560
so I'm pretty happy with that.
So we're going to do that in

18
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,680
a few minutes. We've got a
big announcement today regarding Jenny is going to

19
00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:02,359
be speaking at an event for Protect
Our Care happening at Veterans Park on Monday.

20
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:07,159
She has been invited to speak there, So that's a very exciting Monday

21
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:08,759
morning at eleven am. If you're
in the area, I hope you'll come

22
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,400
down. So we're gonna do that
today as well, and coming up at

23
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:19,120
the top of the hour, if
I can get the technical problem resolved,

24
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:23,199
hopefully we will have Lewis Tyvee skyping
in from the UK. We did share

25
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,319
some of his music earlier in that
part of the show that never actually happened

26
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,039
because none of that will be in
the podcast, but that's going to be

27
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,719
coming up as well, attentatively.
If not, we'll have to reschedule Lewis

28
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,120
Tyvee. I'm looking forward to speaking
to him either way, be it today

29
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,400
or another time, but so that
will be coming up too, And if

30
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,520
that doesn't work out, we've got
plenty in the news to talk about,

31
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,520
that's for sure. But we also
have a call. Hi. Welcome to

32
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,879
Matt connorton. Unleash. Who's this? Oh? I thought there was somebody

33
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:58,680
on the line. All right,
never mind. But yes, and today,

34
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,599
of course, because it is Friday
here at WMNH, it's my long

35
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:05,000
day and I do love it.
So Friday is my favorite day of the

36
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,599
week here. I get to do
double duty. So I'm here for this

37
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,159
show of course, until six pm, and then I'm back tonight from eight

38
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:15,759
to eleven pm for Retro Spectrum Radio
with Paul C. I am one of

39
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,840
Paul's co hosts on that show,
along with DJ Steve and uh and Mike

40
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:27,639
from Queen City Cabinetry in the historic
Sunbeam Mall. And I think my dad's

41
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,400
on the line. Hello, Hello, Manny, Good afternoon. I'm gonna

42
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,879
be brief. Can you hear me? Okay, yes, I can you?

43
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,960
Can you reason? I'm having I
don't know if it's my phone or

44
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,719
where I am, but I'm having
a little trouble hearing you. But I

45
00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,439
can hear you though. Um,
I'll be brief. I wanted to just

46
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:53,479
say a couple of things and brag. Your analysis yesterday, which was my

47
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,360
analysis, is something about what's that
old saying, man, the apple doesn't

48
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:01,960
fall through too far from the garden
of Eden, something like that. Yeah,

49
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:10,280
but you're right on tack with the
Hunter Biden. I'll call it a

50
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,560
problem. I'll just leave it like
that. You know, I'm not a

51
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,839
big fan of the Bidens, and
I see a lot of corruption there.

52
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:24,040
But I'm not going to cast accusations
this afternoon. But I did want to

53
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:28,879
mention something about I'm going to end
on a positive note quickly or but in

54
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:32,319
a minute, but I wanted to
again praise you for your analysis yesterday.

55
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,959
I didn't agree with you. We're
not gonna I'm not gonna get into a

56
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:41,920
debate with you. Don't trust me. I'm not criticizing you with the show.

57
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:48,000
But I do think that Sweetheart deal
intrinsically was bizarre and corrupt from the

58
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,319
get go. And this judge,
though she's in Delaware and she's gonna take

59
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:57,040
some heat for being a Trump formal
appointee, she is a Democrat, a

60
00:04:57,079 --> 00:05:00,959
liberal Democrat. That needs to be
noted. But I don't know if you

61
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,040
saw the text I sent you about
this, but I predicted with colleagues here

62
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:12,439
the Catholic War veterans, and E
sw that the judge. I couldn't guarantee

63
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,399
it, but I thought the judge
would say, wait a minute, what

64
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:18,480
about the immunity stuff that's buried down
here, you know, and what about

65
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,600
all this evidence? You know,
the gun charge alone, that would have

66
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,600
been something he would have been subject
to jail time except for the plea.

67
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,040
But at any rate, he had
a little meltdown apparently in the courthouse,

68
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,000
kind of a spoiled brad Hunter.
But he's cutting away with a lot.

69
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:44,040
But when they review Matt, you
were pointing this out, why wasn't the

70
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:50,920
Foreign Asian Registration Act looked into carefully? I would say part of the reason

71
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:58,360
right away is because inevitably that is
going to show objectively there was an objective

72
00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:05,839
truth standard that the Bidens have been
receiving pay for play money from many governments,

73
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,920
much money, for a long time. And that gets into what I've

74
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,560
talked to you about, and I've
checked you about before, about the principle

75
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,319
and the structure and the intrinsic evil
of elite capture, you know, in

76
00:06:18,399 --> 00:06:23,279
pirates with money. And then there
are four other components in terms of mind

77
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,399
control issues. And I'm not talking
about ultra k I'm talking about just using

78
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:34,360
persuasion and arguments to confuse people,
to deceive people, and to manipulate people,

79
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:40,399
and us, the middle class and
the poor American people. So I

80
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,160
just want to mention one of them
today. There are four I'd like.

81
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,480
We don't have a lot of time, I realize. Yeah, and you

82
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,839
may disagree with some of the structures. You can't disagree with it. You

83
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,120
can say, Dad, I'm not
sure those are being used by the left

84
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:58,920
or by the so called liberals today, or by neosocialists, or by distorders

85
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,680
of history. And by the way, that's why I just want I'll get

86
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,560
to that. But distorders of distorts
of history can be people on the left,

87
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,319
in the middle, or on the
right. And uh, that's what

88
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,279
that's a concern with the Florida legislature. So here's here's the thing I want

89
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:24,680
to mention. Are you familiar with
sal Alinsky, the American communist philosopher at

90
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,959
all? Familiar with him? I
haven't read his book Rules for Radicals.

91
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,439
I haven't read that Rules for Radicals. Yeah, I haven't read page.

92
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,360
He wrote two books. One was
in forty six and the other came out

93
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:38,160
in forty eight or forty nine.
I've read, you know, through them,

94
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:43,279
and I've critiqued them, but I
can't stand reading reading the whole thing's

95
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,279
page to page. But one of
the things that he that he gets wrong,

96
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:50,360
and he knows it's wrong, but
he uses it in a powerful way

97
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,800
trying to support communism and socialism in
the left. And he made no bones

98
00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:00,240
about this. He went on television
talking about it. He wrote paper on

99
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:07,120
it. I've seen and that is, you justify the ends. You come

100
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,600
up with a good ends, say, the eradication of social injustice, the

101
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:20,800
positivity of unions, condemning slavery,
all those kinds of things. But you

102
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:28,560
can use any means you wish,
including deception, manipulation, lying, threatening

103
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,399
people, threatening their livelihoods. You
can use any means you want, as

104
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:39,320
long he says, he writes consistently, He writes this, as long as

105
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,759
the ends look good, you know, look like they're the common good,

106
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:48,159
look like they're transcending evil. You
follow me, you see what's going on

107
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,919
there. Yeah, you understand what
you're saying. That That proposition is just

108
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,080
one of his propositions. He talks
about using ridicule. For example, he

109
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,120
talks about using ad hominem arguments all
the time towards the opposition. In the

110
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:09,960
opposition is people of faith, Christians, Jews. He didn't talk too much

111
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,799
about Islam, but it would include
that to that community also, and people

112
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,720
like your dad who are constitutional conservatives
who wish to dialogue and use right reason

113
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:31,200
and logic to come to efficacious conclusions
of ethicality and efficiency for all people in

114
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,440
the USA and implicitly all people everywhere
in the world. Does that make sense

115
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:43,000
so far? Yeah? I understand. Yeah. So Aristotle to a Quintas,

116
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,519
to Ittian Jilson, to doctor Scott
Han, to doctor in the Catholic

117
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:56,080
community, doctor Carl Payne in the
Protestant community. Are Rabbi Abraham Heschel,

118
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,480
orthodox Jew, one of my heroes
and a great friend of Luther King and

119
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:05,679
a great writer on philosophy and theology, by the way, and dialogue Martin

120
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:11,519
Bober. All these people, including
a Zuni Jaffrey Matt. You could get

121
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,679
him, I'm sure to come on
your program. He is an Islamic scholar

122
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,080
who is moderate to conservative politically,
I suppose, but he's brilliant and he's

123
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,879
a former naval officer. You know
a little bias of favoring him on that

124
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:31,120
one too, but emotionally, but
Zuni Jaffrey is a great person to have

125
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,960
one. Unfortunately, what's happening in
America today in part and you know this

126
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:41,840
and your your listeners will notice even
internationally, is Orthodox Islam gets a bad

127
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:50,840
rap. Orthodox Islam is actually very
peaceful, but the Wahabi radical element in

128
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,200
Islam is not. They're very violent
and they're very anti Semitic. Have you

129
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,840
heard of Omar? Have you heard
of AOC? You know, when you

130
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,480
quote those people in a in a
kind of positive way, match, I

131
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:11,000
would argue that you should point out
their anti semitism. And they're anti I

132
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,200
mean, they're anti Christian also,
but their anti Semitism is toxic and destructive

133
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,159
and salient, very salient. They
make no bones about it. Um.

134
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,679
So that's one area m I wanted
to go quickly to your reference yesterday about

135
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:35,039
Greg Gutfield. You know that I'm
not a big fan of doctor Dre Oh

136
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:41,000
doctor Drew. Rather that was Afredian
slip back, get it, Freudian slip

137
00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,799
A good song. I like Doctor
Dre. He swears too much, I

138
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:50,559
get it, But take me to
comptent baby a lot of Talivisi. Not

139
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,080
now, it's too hot, mad, it's too out there. But my

140
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:58,039
point is that I just want to
make this point for you and you're listening

141
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,639
audience before I do, I don't. I don't know on Facebook how long

142
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:07,320
my post last, because if I
say anything critical about the left or Biden

143
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,120
or the DJ or the FBI,
whom my regards is completely corrupt right now,

144
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:18,039
they'll they'll put the post up and
then it's gone in like ten minutes.

145
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,720
And the reason I mentioned I put
up a post praising you and Jenny

146
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,879
for all your work about social justice
around the medical field. Did you see

147
00:12:26,919 --> 00:12:31,799
any of that on Facebook? I
don't remember seeing that specifically. I mean,

148
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,720
I see your comments on things,
but I don't remember seeing a separate

149
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,159
post, if that's what you mean. Yeah, yeah, that's what I

150
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,679
mean. They did post it.
It was up, but you know,

151
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,879
and I don't know what the nuances
are met with the technology. I used

152
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:50,320
to be able to post it right
up and it would come up. And

153
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,960
if it was like you commented on
one more, I just talked about meditation

154
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,080
in a generic sense and had a
beautiful pig show waterfalls I think from Upstate

155
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,360
New York and so they left that
one up and I always try to be

156
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,440
very kind. I am very kind
with my posts. But anyway, yeah,

157
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:13,799
I posted it up. I posted
the issue and praised Jenny for going

158
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,240
to wash and what she was doing
with her work. So just just so

159
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,720
you know that I have no control
over what they show or they don't show,

160
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:28,600
or how they do that with the
technology. I'm just I don't have

161
00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,600
time to figure that one out,
but I wanted you to know that.

162
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,159
So here's the thing I want to
mention and what we'll end with a positive

163
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:43,600
thing here, But always remember Freydian
slips can lead to insight. Sure,

164
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,960
I'm kidding about that because of the
great song yesterday, but there's some truth

165
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,279
to that. So I was in
a hospital once, you know, and

166
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,720
this groups of medical people surrounding me, and they said, you know,

167
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,159
Marty, we don't know it's agent
orange or heredity, but we're gonna have

168
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,519
to do something here and this is
what we're planning, and do have any

169
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:11,399
questions? So my question to them
was was Freud wrong about everything? They

170
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,440
loved that? Matt, I'm telling
you day by life. So here's the

171
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:22,279
thing. The comment that Greg Gutfeld
made and I don't know about your theory

172
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,559
about who he's trying to model.
I mean, I've never I've never been

173
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,840
a fan of Fox News. I've
never been a fan of the Five,

174
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,120
and I'm going to stay with all
honesty, I've never never been a fan

175
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,360
of Tarloft. She's off, she's
off the wall. But what happened when

176
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,919
I saw that? You know,
and I don't know, if you're going

177
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:45,559
to play that, I would recommend
you play that. Gutfeld completely missed the

178
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:52,679
point and misrepresented Victor Frankel. Victor
Frankel is one of the greatest psychiatrists and

179
00:14:52,879 --> 00:15:01,279
therapists and teachers and heroes of all
time. Matt his book Man Search for

180
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:05,200
Meeting. He wrote others, but
Man Search for Meeting is a classic where

181
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:11,000
he goes into detail. I'm not
going to go into detail. Delineates three

182
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:16,759
fundamental values. He talks about creative
values. That's that which we're getting an

183
00:15:16,879 --> 00:15:22,879
education, you know, doing your
broadcasting, hypnotherapy. Creative values and can

184
00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:26,759
be productive with other people obviously marriage, children, family, etc. Etc.

185
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,240
And then it can be just having
fun with people safely. And then

186
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:37,159
he talks that's number one. Then
he talks about experiential values. Those are

187
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:43,879
the values that teach us accurately about
rebounding from life's troubles and asking for help

188
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:52,519
and finding meaning in suffering. And
finally there's attitudinal values which later Carl Mellinger

189
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,200
in his book Whatever Happened to Sin
he calls some spiritual values and references Victor

190
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,559
Franco the great One. But what
Frank was talking about there is well two

191
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,480
things. His rediscovery in the concentration
camp suffering he went through of God and

192
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:15,159
his faith in the Jewish community,
and but in the secular context, in

193
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,720
the psychological context, and universal spirituality
and building up the spirit He's talking about

194
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:29,720
there the ability to become aware of
pre mentorship and training and good education,

195
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:34,799
accurate education, coping skills, values, principles, the Constitution, etc.

196
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:40,679
So when gutfil yeah, I saw
this, I picked it up on the

197
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:45,720
phone. When he mentions in entire
lastom I don't agree with usually, but

198
00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:51,320
she's making a good point there.
Evil is evil. You cannot try to

199
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:56,799
mitigate evil by saying there was something
good coming out of that. That is

200
00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:02,440
malarkee completely And rather than gutfill the
with her and saying why that was important.

201
00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,799
He quotes, uh, he doesn't
quote. He references Victor Frankel and

202
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:15,240
his great book which has changed my
life and my profession professional work. Uh

203
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:22,599
man's search for meaning. And he
completely misrepresented that. And that was a

204
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,759
shame. Man. That that I'm
really angry about. Do you see what

205
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:30,200
I'm saying there? Can you understand
that? Yeah? Well it makes sense

206
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,880
that he missed you. I mean, what he was saying didn't even make

207
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,160
sense anyway. It was not right. It was such a bizarre false equivalence.

208
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,440
It didn't even track. That's right. But I agree with you and

209
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,359
uh so, so I think you
know, he needs to apologize. He

210
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,400
needs to restate what he was trying
to say. If if he couldn't come

211
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,519
up with something that's valid, that
was horrible. I couldn't believe that he

212
00:17:53,599 --> 00:18:00,039
said that. And and to a
colleague too. I disagree with Tarloff and

213
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,200
almost everything. But if I'm on
that show, I'm going to respect her

214
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,200
as a colleague. And no,
she's on the left. I get it.

215
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,559
We're gonna agree to disagree, but
let's still have respectful, mutually respectful

216
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:18,319
dialogue. Right, And and he
just can I think he had something to

217
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,079
do with I never liked Rivera myself, but I think Gutfield had something to

218
00:18:23,079 --> 00:18:32,200
do with they're showing him the door
at Fox. But I detest that completely.

219
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,359
No. Finally, so so again
to the worldwide audience, I want

220
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,119
to point something out again and just
underscore it. Matt, please with compassion

221
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:51,240
and empathy and hope. Victor Frankel
suffered through the concentration camp. He was

222
00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:57,720
almost murdered there several times, and
he lost his entire family in the concentration

223
00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:03,119
camp. That's something people need to
know. And he rebounded from that,

224
00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:11,920
not praising ever oppression, never violence, never racism, never anti semitism,

225
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,400
never anti Christian work, and he
became one of the greatest teachers. And

226
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:19,799
you can get him online. You
know he's fast now, but people can

227
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:26,119
find him, can google him and
listen to his dialogue with scholars if they

228
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,039
wish to do that. So then
you can see why I'm not upset with

229
00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:36,119
you. I'm upset with Gutfelds.
Yeah, and the legislatures in Florida they

230
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,400
have to be much more careful in
what they're stating and how they're using language

231
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,039
around history, particularly when it comes
to slavery, which is in Catholic Church,

232
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,759
definitive. That's a mortal sin.
Man, that's a mortal sin.

233
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,319
All right. Finally in a positive
note, because I know you've got The

234
00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:57,240
Eric's True Romance coming up. It's
a film that's tough, but I like

235
00:19:57,319 --> 00:20:00,759
it. I give it a favor. Sums up. But I was wondering

236
00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:06,440
if you would play at some point
next week Katie Dobbins new song. I

237
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,720
know I sound like Eric Agnon now, but you know, she's so talented

238
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:17,200
and beautiful and from a great family
in the Lakes Country. And she has

239
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,920
a song called because I Can,
but it sounds like a song that someone

240
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,799
else did before. But I think
this one is her original composition. Katie

241
00:20:26,839 --> 00:20:30,599
Dobbins, something to think about.
What do you think about it, Maddie,

242
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,599
Yeah, yeah, no, I'll
play it. I'll play it.

243
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,200
She's amazing. I think you'll like
it. I think enjoy again. I

244
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,440
mean Sepsis what a great band they
are, Yea, you know the title

245
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,720
of the band freaks me out a
little bit, you know what I mean,

246
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:49,640
But I can transcend that they're so
talented. So I'm happy that you

247
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,359
and Jenny are going to the next
outing at the theater with him. So

248
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,519
I'll stop on that note. Great
analysis. I think what you're going to

249
00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:04,119
see is the DOJ, which I
regard is totally corrupt and favoring Biden,

250
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:10,240
suppressing evidence. Well, they attack
Trump Chris on every front. A Chris

251
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,039
Trump is his own worst enemy too. I agree with you there, But

252
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:17,000
I think what you're going to see
is they're going to try one more time

253
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:22,119
to come up with some kind of
the agreement that ignores the Foreign Relations Agency

254
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,519
Registration Act. But I don't think
they're going to get away with it,

255
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:30,680
Matt, I could be wrong.
All right, peach out, stay out

256
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,640
of the heat. Thank you for
all you're doing. I appreciate it.

257
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,720
All right, Dad, love you, Thank you for the call. You're

258
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:38,759
very welcome my pleasure. I love
you too. Bye bye, bye bye.

259
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,119
All right, that was Martin Connerton, my dad. All Right,

260
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,559
here's what we're gonna do. We
are close to the top of the hour.

261
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,920
I'm gonna go to Eric Pilcher's classic
film review. And my dad probably

262
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,720
didn't hear earlier. That might have
been before I officially restarted the show.

263
00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,720
But Eric's film review is not true
romance. After all, he had to

264
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,720
make a change, and instead he
has reviewed Fight Club for this week because

265
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:11,079
he was having some difficulty finding clips
with good audio online for True Romance,

266
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:12,920
so he went with Fight Club,
which happens to be one of my favorite

267
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,480
films one of my favorite books as
well. So we're gonna go with that.

268
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:21,200
We're gonna go to that now,
and then after that we'll come back.

269
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,160
We'll show some love to our amazing
sponsors. And while the review is

270
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,400
going, I'm going to see if
I can reinstall Skype on the computer and

271
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,039
see if there's a chance before we
run out of time to save our planned

272
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:38,960
interview with Lewis Tivey, who is
in the UK. And something, like

273
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,559
I said earlier, whenever it's a
transcontinental Skype call, something always goes wrong,

274
00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:48,119
but either on their end or I
think in this case it's on our

275
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,480
end, though I think it just
every once in a while we have to

276
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,759
reinstall it updated on the computer,
and I think today is one of those

277
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:57,519
days, unfortunately, So but I
can try to do that. I've had

278
00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:00,200
to do it before. I can
try to do that while the film review

279
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,079
is on and maybe if it's not
too late any so, last time we

280
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,319
can still get Lewis Tivey for today, So without further ado, here it

281
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:17,759
is. This is Eric Pilcher's review
of fight Club. Every week, Tyler

282
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:22,640
gave the rules that he and I
decided. Gentlemen, Welcome to fight Club.

283
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:29,240
The first rule of fight club is
you do not talk about Fike Club.

284
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,359
Second rule of fight club is you
do not talk about fight club.

285
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,680
Third rule of fight club. Someone
else stopped, goes limb taps out,

286
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,200
the fight is over. Fourth rule, only two guys to a fight.

287
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:51,720
Fit rule one fight at a time
fellas. Sixth rule, no shirts,

288
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,079
no shoes, seventh rule, fights
will go on as long as they have

289
00:23:56,279 --> 00:24:02,559
to. And the eighth and find
rule. If this is your first night

290
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:11,559
of fight club, you have to
fight this kid from work. Ricky couldn't

291
00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:18,200
remember whether you ordered pens with blue
ink or black, but Ricky was a

292
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,440
god for ten minutes when he trounced
the major d of a local food court.

293
00:24:23,839 --> 00:24:27,160
Sometimes all you can hear where the
flat hard packing sounds over the yelling

294
00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:37,519
glad for the wet choke when someone
caught their breath and sprayed. You weren't

295
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:41,519
alive anywhere like you were there.
But fight club only exists in the hours

296
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,079
between when fight club starts and one
fight Club ends. Even if I could

297
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,920
tell someone they had a good fight, I wouldn't be talking to the same

298
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,200
man. Who you were in fight
club is not who you were in the

299
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,839
rest of the world. The guy
came to fight Club for the first time,

300
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,880
his ass was a wat of cookie
dough. After a few weeks,

301
00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:06,920
he was carved out of I have
stated many times on this program that I

302
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,960
feel nineteen ninety nine is the greatest
year in the history of cinema. All

303
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:18,759
genres of film were represented strongly.
These films were great from top to bottom,

304
00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:27,240
with top notch direction, brilliant writing, amazing performances in even mesmerizing soundtracks.

305
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:37,319
There is one film that defies genres
explanation into this day has people still

306
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:44,240
trying to decipher what it all meant. That ambiguity is what leads to its

307
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,000
greatness. Directed by David Fincher,
based off the nineteen ninety six novel by

308
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:56,319
Chuck Plank, Fight Club introduces us
to a nameless man simply known as the

309
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:03,079
narrator, Edward Norton in his breakout
role, a man that is extremely disenchanted

310
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,880
with his life. That is until
he meets a man named Tyler Durden played

311
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:15,559
by Brad Pitt, a man that
by bringing the Narrator into his dark world,

312
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:22,599
brightens his life and empowers him.
The film also stars Helena Bottom Carter

313
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:29,240
and the late Meet Loaf a Day
in a memorable role. Our first clip

314
00:26:29,559 --> 00:26:34,920
was Dirten stating the famous rules of
Fight Club. Our next two clips set

315
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,640
the stage for the changes that come
to the narrator. First, he goes

316
00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:47,240
over his life that is wrought with
insomnia and mindless home shopping. What makes

317
00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:52,519
this seem so great is we hear
the hopelessness and despair in Norton's voice,

318
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:59,759
and then, on a business flight
for his menial job, his life changes

319
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:07,240
when he meets Tyler Dirting. For
six months, I couldn't sleep. I

320
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:12,599
couldn't sleep, I couldn't sleep with
insomnia. Nothing's real, everything's far away.

321
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:22,240
Everything's a copy of a copy of
a copy. When deep space exploration

322
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,039
ramps up, it'll be the corporations
that name everything. The IBM Stellar Sphere,

323
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:32,880
the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks.
I need you have a down a

324
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,119
little more this week, we guys
have red flares to cover. It must

325
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,400
have been Tuesday. He was wearing
his corn flower blue tie you want me

326
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,519
to deprioritize my current reports until you, guys of status upgrade, make these

327
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:45,440
your primary reaction items. He's your
white coupons. Call me from the road

328
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,960
if there's any snacks. He was
full of pet must have had his Grande

329
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:53,480
latte enema. Like so many others. I had become a slave to the

330
00:27:53,519 --> 00:27:59,759
ikea nesting instant. Yes, I'd
like to order the Eric car dust ruffles.

331
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,640
If I saw something clever, like
a little coffee table in the shape

332
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,559
of a guinion, I had to
have it. The Clip's personal office unit,

333
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,039
the hove a track home exer bike, or the Johannaeschev sofa with the

334
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:18,880
string green stripe pattern. Even the
Rhizlampa wire lamps of environmentally friendly unbleached paper.

335
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:22,400
I'd flip through catalogs and wonder what
kind of dining set defines me as

336
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,119
a person. I had it all, even the glass dishes with tiny bubbles

337
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:32,440
and imperfections, proof that they were
crafted by the honest, simple, hardworking

338
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:38,319
indigenous peoples of wherever I was holding. We used to read pornography. Now

339
00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:45,920
it was the horse Chowl collection and
introducing Tyler Dirty. Every time the plane

340
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:51,119
banked too sharply on takeoff or landing, a preyed for a crash or a

341
00:28:51,160 --> 00:29:03,880
midair collision. Anything. Life insurance
pays off triple if you die in a

342
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:11,400
business trip. If you were seated
in an emergency exit row, Yeah,

343
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,000
and feel you would be unable or
unwilling to perform the duties listed on the

344
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:21,920
safety card, Please ask a flight
attendant to reset you. It's a lot

345
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,799
of responsibility. One switch seats,
No, I'm not sure I'm the man

346
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:33,680
for that particular job. An extra
door procedure thirty thousand feet, the illusion

347
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,839
of safety, Yeah, I guess. So you know where they put oxygen

348
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:45,319
mask on planes so you can breathe. Oxygen gets you high, and a

349
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,880
castrophe for emergency. You're taking giant
panic breadths. Suddenly you become your fork.

350
00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:56,920
Awesome, you accept your fate.
It's all right here. Emergency water

351
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,240
landing six hundred miles an hour,
blank faces, a calm its Hindu cows.

352
00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:10,400
That's that's an interesting theory. What
do you do? What do you

353
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:18,039
mean we do for a living?
Why she intend like you're interested? Okay,

354
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:25,799
you have a kind of sick desperation
in your life. We have the

355
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:33,359
exact same briefcase. So sorry,
I make and I sow soap the yardsticks

356
00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:40,160
of civilization, And this is how
I'm at Tyler Dirton. Did you know

357
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,200
if you mixed equal parts of gasoline
and frozen no introduced concentrate, you can

358
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,720
make napalm? No? I did
not know that? Is that true?

359
00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:49,440
That's right? One can make all
kinds of explosives using simple household items.

360
00:30:51,039 --> 00:31:00,480
Really fun, was so inclined?
Tell you are by far the most interesting,

361
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:06,440
single serving friend I've ever met,
Everything on a planet, single serving

362
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,200
given the black get it. It's
very clever. Thank you. How's it

363
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:18,039
working out for you? What?
Being clever? Grain? Keep it up

364
00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:26,160
down. Norton is phenomenal in this
film, as is Bonham Carter, But

365
00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:33,480
the performance that has people still talking
even twenty plus years after the film's release

366
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,200
is the performance of Pitt. He
is the calm and the storm, but

367
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:45,720
yet the violent fire that rages.
The psychology he conveys in this performance drives

368
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:52,400
this film. Our next two clips
are examples of this. First, Dirten

369
00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:59,680
convinces the narrator to hit him.
Of note here is how Tyler remains calm

370
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:05,720
in convincing the narrator on what to
do, and the narrator just follows.

371
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,079
Then, in one of the most
memorable scenes, he gives the narrator a

372
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:16,200
chemical burn and forces him to go
through the pain. These are prime examples

373
00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:23,240
of the sociopathic nature of Dirting that
becomes fully exposed as the film goes on.

374
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,359
What do you want me to do? You just want me to hit

375
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:30,039
you? Why? Why? I
don't know why. I don't know.

376
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:31,759
Never been a fight, you know, But that's a good thing. No,

377
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,559
it is not. How much can
you know about yourself? You've never

378
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:37,960
been a fight. I don't want
to die without any scars. Come on,

379
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:40,559
hit me before I lose my nerve. God, this is crazy,

380
00:32:42,079 --> 00:32:45,200
crazy, Let a rip. I
don't know about this, I don't need

381
00:32:45,559 --> 00:32:50,039
Who gives watching? What do you
care? What is this crazy? You

382
00:32:50,039 --> 00:32:55,359
want me to hit you? That's
right, like in the face, surprised

383
00:32:55,359 --> 00:33:12,440
me? This is so m mother
hit me in the ear well, jesus,

384
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:34,039
I'm sorry like the ear man.
Oh that was perfect? That really

385
00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:58,319
hurts? Right again? Now you're
with me? Come we should do this

386
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:08,199
again sometimes. Now Tyler inflicts pain
on the narrator. What is this?

387
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:13,400
This is a chemical worker? We'll
hurt mort You've ever been burned, and

388
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,079
you will have a scar. God
who meditation works for cancer can work for

389
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:21,719
this. Stay with the pain,
don't shut this sent God can get your

390
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,199
hand. Persons made from the assid
of buros like the person monkey shot into

391
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:29,239
space. Without pain, without sacrifice, it would have nothing. I tried

392
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,119
not to think of the word serious
slash. This is your pain, this

393
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:35,360
is your burning hand. It's right
here. Who's going to my kid glom

394
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,400
my getting the find my power?
No, don't do what the Twego's dead

395
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:45,960
people do. Come on the plain. What you're feeling is premature in life.

396
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,119
Listen, play this moment of your
life. Man, and you're off

397
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:54,679
somewhere of missus. I am shot
our bottles where models for God? If

398
00:34:54,679 --> 00:35:01,119
our father's bailed, what does that
tell you about God? Listen? Consider

399
00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:06,840
the possibility that God does not like
you, never made or you can use

400
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,159
vinegar to neutralize the burn first,
to give up. First, you have

401
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,199
to know not fear. No,
and someday you're going to die. You

402
00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:24,760
don't know how this feels. It's
only after we've lost everything that we're free

403
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:50,679
to do anything. Okay, congratulations
one still closer to the body many times

404
00:35:51,159 --> 00:35:57,320
and in many genres there needs to
be a love story or a love interest.

405
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:02,039
To me, fight Club is the
exception to those rules, but nonetheless

406
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:08,840
it has one. The woman is
Marla Singer played by the aforementioned Bottom Carter,

407
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:16,320
a woman the narrator meets while attending
support groups for deadly diseases because it

408
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:22,599
helps him feel better and allows him
to break the chains of insomnia. The

409
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:30,679
two strike up an awkward friendship while
negotiating what groups these two individuals faking will

410
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:38,639
attend. Our final clip shows the
toxic, confusing relationship. Marla and the

411
00:36:38,760 --> 00:37:07,000
narrator share. Yeah, no,
I mean it's okay. H Do you

412
00:37:07,079 --> 00:37:19,000
still go into groups? Yeah?
Chloe's dead? Chloe? When did that

413
00:37:19,039 --> 00:37:23,400
happen? You can't. I don't
know. I haven't thought about it in

414
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:29,840
a while. Yeah, well it
was a smart move on her part.

415
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Can you listen? Um, what
are you getting out of all this?

416
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:42,800
What? I mean all this?
Why do you keep Is this making you

417
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:51,079
happy? Yeah? Well? Sometimes
I don't know. I don't understand why.

418
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:53,800
Why does a weaker person need to
laptopo a strong person? What?

419
00:37:53,960 --> 00:38:00,519
What? What is that? What
do you get out of it? No,

420
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,000
that's that's not the same thing at
all. I'm that's totally different with

421
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:08,320
us us. What do you mean
by us? Do you hear this?

422
00:38:09,559 --> 00:38:12,960
What you're not hearing? On that
noise? Just a hold on a second.

423
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,159
No, wait, what were you
saying? Don't dan to someday?

424
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:17,119
I want to talk about this.
You're not talking about me? On you?

425
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:20,960
No? What that day? Came
over to my place the doctor?

426
00:38:21,039 --> 00:38:23,800
What was going on there? What
are you talking about? Nothing? Nothing?

427
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,400
I don't think sothing. Come on, what do you want? Look

428
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,639
at me? No, look at
me? What is that? It's nothing?

429
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,760
Don't worry about it? Like God, who did this? A person?

430
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,880
Guy? Girl? What do you
care? If it's a guy or

431
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,800
a girl? Do you care?
If I ask? It's none of your

432
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,280
business. Leave me. I am
not afraid to say, let me go

433
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,280
talk to me, but go now. You know well this conversation, this

434
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:52,719
conversation is over. Is over.
I just can't leng with you, can

435
00:38:52,840 --> 00:39:06,760
I. At the beginning of this
review, I mentioned how this film is

436
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:12,079
talked about to this day. It
simply is not because it's a great film

437
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:19,199
or the amazing performances. It is
because that even now people struggle to interpret

438
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:24,039
what the film means. The ending
of this film features one of the greatest

439
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:29,920
plot twists in the history of cinema. Some say they see it coming,

440
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,559
many more never saw it coming.
I dare someone to watch this film for

441
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:40,400
the first time, even the second, third, fourth, and so on,

442
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,320
and not have the same questions they
had the first time they watched it.

443
00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:52,440
Those questions are what makes this film
stand the test of time and puts

444
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:59,639
it in a class by itself while
being labeled one of the greatest films ever

445
00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:04,320
made. I hope you joined me
next week when we will look at the

446
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:13,920
mesmerizing Mafia character study the compelling true
story Donnie Brasco starring Johnny Debb and Al

447
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:20,400
Vaccino for wm NH in Matt Connerton
Unleashed. This has been a classic film

448
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:40,800
review with a great job as always
our friend Eric Pilcher from Cedar Rapids,

449
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,960
Iowa. He does a classic film
review for us every Friday, and I

450
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,880
really enjoyed that a lot. Fight
Club, as I mentioned earlier, one

451
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,800
of my favorite films. And now
what we're going to do, my friends.

452
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:59,320
I have reinstalled Skype on the computer
here and our friend Lewis Tivey,

453
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,000
who is in the Facebook live chat
and it's also a big film of the

454
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:06,239
fan. A big fan of the
film Film of the Fan. I'm getting

455
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,719
dyslexic. I think I'm developing an
adult on set dyslexia. A big fan

456
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:15,480
of the film Fight Club, but
more importantly, a very talented musician.

457
00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:19,719
I'm now going to attempt Lewis.
Are you there, Hi, Matt,

458
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,079
how's it going? Hi? Everyone? Success? Hey man, I really

459
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:30,079
appreciate your patience. Apparently the problem
was on our end about it happens about

460
00:41:30,119 --> 00:41:34,000
maybe once a year, maybe once
every eight or nine months. I don't

461
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,960
know. I lose track of time. But every every once in a great

462
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,639
while we have to reinstall Skype.
I have to uninstall it and just reinstall

463
00:41:39,679 --> 00:41:43,920
it to get it to UM.
It's like it doesn't update automatically on our

464
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:49,360
computer here in the studio for some
reason. H and oh sorry, just

465
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,239
saying, just like the first rule
of Fight Club, don't mention it,

466
00:41:52,639 --> 00:41:57,599
that's right. But then once once
I get it reinstalled. So this actually

467
00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:01,280
worked out well because we don't usually
have long prerecorded segments on the show.

468
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:07,440
The one prerecorded segment that we run
every week is Eric Pilcher's classic film review,

469
00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:10,239
So that actually worked out well that
I had a prerecorded segment to run

470
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,079
gave me a chance to actually do
the uninstall and the reinstall and here we

471
00:42:15,119 --> 00:42:19,079
are. So I'm glad. I'm
glad this worked out. Really really dig

472
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:22,679
your music. Thank you very much. Absolutely. And by the way,

473
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,320
grim Rock is in the Facebook live
chat now. We interviewed grim Rock on

474
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,760
the show not too long ago,
actually, I think it was a couple

475
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,320
of weeks ago, and he was
in that he's working on you and here

476
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,480
working on a collaboration together. Yes, so we've got quite a few plans

477
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:43,159
together. We've got a boody called
trench Gun as well. Yeah, I've

478
00:42:43,159 --> 00:42:49,079
basically got another song. Originally was
releasing them as singles originally, but now

479
00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:51,039
that I've released four, I'm not. I just don't want to be the

480
00:42:51,119 --> 00:42:53,639
kind of guy that releases loads of
singles and then puts it as a complimation

481
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,880
album, if you have me,
So, yeah, the first four like

482
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,559
a teaser and the rest the rest'm
keeping hidden until the final release. But

483
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:06,119
yeah, we've I've got this song
called Faithless Martyr that he's going to be

484
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,400
having quite a big input on.
Very cool. Yeah, I can kind

485
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:17,000
of see where you and he there's
um uh, there's a similarity in terms

486
00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:21,320
of your your it sounds like an
approach to your production. And then it's

487
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,719
kind of um, there's kind of
a garage rock, kind of heavy but

488
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:30,400
sort of um, you know it's
it's um. The production is well,

489
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,960
I hear a mix of influences and
what you're doing. But um, but

490
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,039
the way the way you guys approach
it sounds similar to me. My favorite

491
00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:42,079
track of yours, which I did
play. I played a bunch of your

492
00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:45,719
playing a bunch of your songs,
uh in the first hour when we were

493
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:49,480
trying to when I was trying to
get the technical issue I figured out.

494
00:43:50,039 --> 00:43:52,039
But my favorite of yours is Freudian
Slip, and I played that on the

495
00:43:52,039 --> 00:43:55,440
show yesterday too to kind of give
people a preview. And um, it's

496
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:59,559
so great. But I hear in
it, you know, it's it's kind

497
00:43:59,559 --> 00:44:02,800
of it's kind of punk, but
it's kind of grunge. But it's also

498
00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:10,800
and I noticed this particular word does
not appear in anything that the talks about

499
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,199
your music, where you talk about
your music online, in your buyo or

500
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:17,199
anything. But I feel like there's
a little bit of industrial in there as

501
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:22,239
well. That that's kind of how
I perceive it anyway, am I?

502
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:27,960
I mean, what do you how
do you describe it? See, whenever

503
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,599
someone asks how I describe my music, a lot of people say grunge,

504
00:44:31,079 --> 00:44:34,559
which I agree with, but at
the same time, to me, grunge

505
00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:37,679
was an era, you know what
I mean? It's yeah, you know,

506
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:39,880
I wouldn't classic as a genre,
so I just call myself alternative rock

507
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:45,400
because it kind of is. Um. Yeah, I love industrial like Ramstein,

508
00:44:45,639 --> 00:44:47,840
for example, is one of my
favorite bands. But I've got loads

509
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,199
of influences, literally loads. Yeah. I've said many times, if this

510
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:59,280
grim rock's really good at doing like
nineteen sixties psychedelic Beatles type stuff, told

511
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,000
it I wouldn't be able to do
it, like come up with that type

512
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,039
of stuff. But I was like, Oh, come up some stuff like

513
00:45:04,119 --> 00:45:07,159
that and we'll do with due out
of something, you know. But yeah,

514
00:45:07,199 --> 00:45:10,199
I'm pretty I'm pretty fluid when it
comes to the genre and that type

515
00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:15,599
of thing. Yeah. Um,
and what about your approach to vocals because

516
00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:22,360
this has been driving me nuts.
M Lewis you remind me of somebody,

517
00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:25,559
But for the life of me,
I can't quite put my finger on who

518
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:29,920
it is. And I know when
it finally comes to me, I'm gonna

519
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,480
be like, oh yeah, yeah, that guy of course. But for

520
00:45:31,519 --> 00:45:36,599
some reason, there's there's a British
singer who you remind me of and I

521
00:45:36,639 --> 00:45:38,400
can't quite I can't quite put my
finger on it. But can you talk

522
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:44,079
about your vocals a bit or is
there somebody that you that has really influenced

523
00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:47,599
you, because you've got a very
specific vocal style that seems to run through

524
00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:54,280
these tracks. Yeah. I wouldn't
say I've tried to base myself if anyone

525
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,480
really. Yeah, I broke my
nose when I was a lot younger,

526
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,440
and I've got quite a nasally voice, and I used to be really self

527
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,440
conscious of it, and recently I've
just sort of started embracing it a little

528
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,280
bit, yeah, you know,
and not holding back as much. But

529
00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:14,000
I've got quite a raspy voice as
well, so I just go for it

530
00:46:14,039 --> 00:46:17,800
now really. Um Yeah, Yeah, I suppose during my band days I

531
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,880
was slightly more Johnny Rotten if you
with me my approach to things now,

532
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:25,880
I'd like to think it's a bit
more refined. But yeah, I mean

533
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,320
I've been compared to you know,
Mark arm from mud Honey, yea been

534
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,400
compared to him before. Now,
Okay, I can hear that. I

535
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,440
can hear that, sure, sure, Um yeah. And in terms of

536
00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:45,880
um, I mean the songs they
almost there's a frenetic sort of and again

537
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:47,559
I go back to Freudy and Slip
as a great example. There's sort of

538
00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:52,599
a frenetic, almost a chaotic sort
of nature to them. Um. That

539
00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:58,079
that seems to be pretty consistent in
your music. Um, is that something

540
00:46:58,159 --> 00:47:01,079
you planned when you started this project, when you started recording? Is that

541
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,760
is that what you wanted it to
sound like? Or does that is that

542
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,800
something that comes about organically? And
then you go, yeah, I really

543
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:12,280
like that because I can sort of
imagine you stumbling into that. But but

544
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,119
I'm curious because I can't think of
anybody that you sound quite like. Again,

545
00:47:16,159 --> 00:47:20,039
there's a singer you remind me of
whose name escapes me at the moment,

546
00:47:20,039 --> 00:47:23,559
But in terms of what your music
sounds like, there's not another artist

547
00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:29,239
I would specifically compare you too.
So I'm wondering how you arrived at that

548
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:35,960
sound. I just love that live, raw energy sound. Yeah. Some

549
00:47:36,039 --> 00:47:38,599
of the best bands I've genuinely ever
seen of been in pubs and bars and

550
00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:43,360
stuff like that, like live bands, like especially punk bands. Yeah,

551
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,320
and I just love that energy,
you know, when you're in the middle

552
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:50,519
of the crowd and they're all mush
in away and it's brilliant, and I

553
00:47:50,639 --> 00:47:54,760
just love to capture that energy like
I always have. I guess I've got

554
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:58,519
a bit of built up rage in
side or something, although I am a

555
00:47:58,519 --> 00:48:00,400
pretty mellow guy as well. Yeah, yeah, No, I know what

556
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,760
you mean though about capturing that energy, because it's it's definitely there. That's

557
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,519
what it sounds like. It sounds
like, it sounds like it's live.

558
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:10,280
It doesn't sound like it's it's a
studio recording in a in a sense in

559
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:16,639
terms of the energy that's there.
Now, you you do everything yourself,

560
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,760
right, you record everything on your
own. So for the first part of

561
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:25,599
the project, yes, the first
EP was one except for the drums because

562
00:48:25,639 --> 00:48:29,800
I've got no sense of tempo.
So I had a session drummer. Oh

563
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:35,639
recently i've been trench Gun's been doing
the drumming and Grim's helping on a few

564
00:48:35,639 --> 00:48:39,320
of the other ones now, which
helps. It helps me out because when

565
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:45,559
you happen to write everything yourself,
I guess I'm just concentrating too much on

566
00:48:45,639 --> 00:48:49,000
certain things and it takes away from
what I'm able to put out if you

567
00:48:49,079 --> 00:48:51,880
with me, whereas if I don't
have to focus as much on what I'm

568
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,800
writing, I can kind of let
go. Yeah that makes sense, that

569
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,719
makes sense. Yeah, um,
now you were I was reading online you

570
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,119
were in a band before. Correct, you're in a full full band?

571
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,119
Yeah, long time ago, about
twelve years ago, now I think it

572
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,239
was. Yeah. Yeah, but
you prefer being a solo artist. Yeah,

573
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,840
it's great. I mean, I
mean, I'm currently in the British

574
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,480
Military. So when the day's done, I live in the in the block

575
00:49:17,599 --> 00:49:22,199
at the barracks, and the room
has the perfect ambience. Oh no kidding.

576
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,000
So it sucks that I don't get
to see the family in the week,

577
00:49:24,079 --> 00:49:28,239
but at the same time, you
know, I've got the perfect room

578
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,880
for recording. I've literally converted my
room into a studio. Oh wow.

579
00:49:31,599 --> 00:49:36,800
Yeah, so I'm leaving shortly.
I'm a civy again in about a month

580
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,480
and a bit. But oh no, kid worked really well for me.

581
00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:45,079
How long have you been in the
military. It will be five years in

582
00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:51,079
November. Oh no kidding, If
you don't mind me asking, I mean

583
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,400
what drove you to join. I've
just always wanted to do it, and

584
00:49:54,559 --> 00:49:58,639
I'm a bit of a wild card. I don't like to be in one

585
00:49:58,679 --> 00:50:00,960
place for too long, and I
just wanted some excitement in my life.

586
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:05,000
I'd always kind of wanted to do
it, but I just needed to get

587
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,400
out there. You know. Working
in a shop just wasn't cutting it for

588
00:50:07,519 --> 00:50:09,719
me, and I didn't seem to
be getting anywhere else in life. I

589
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:15,679
was like, why not? So
Yeah, has the experience been positive overall?

590
00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:19,599
Mostly positive? Yeah, I've really
enjoyed it. I am starting to

591
00:50:19,599 --> 00:50:22,800
get slight blues about leaving. It
is time for me to go from the

592
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,639
military because, as I say,
I want to spend a lot more time

593
00:50:25,639 --> 00:50:30,280
with the family. Yeah. But
I have enjoyed it, and it's it's

594
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,360
it's changed me quite a bit as
a person. It does being in the

595
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,760
military. Does that in any way
influence your approach to music? I mean,

596
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:44,079
I would imagine when you're in the
military, it certainly instills a lot

597
00:50:44,119 --> 00:50:49,760
of discipline in you, which which
might which might help in terms of finding

598
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,400
ways to do it all yourself,
to record and whatnot. But I'm curious,

599
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,880
I mean, have you found that
that being in the military, that

600
00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,480
experience has has affected your approach in
a certain way. Yeah, because it's

601
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:05,400
like you're told what to do,
you know, like the majority of the

602
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,840
day. But then when I finish
and I'm back in my studio, I

603
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:12,679
can let loose. I can all
that pent up. You can't tell me

604
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,480
what to do type thing, you
know. Yeah, I guess it's it's

605
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:20,599
an extra boost. It's pretty good. That makes that makes sense. So

606
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,599
now when you once you're out,
because you're out in what did you say

607
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:30,719
a month and a half? I
start my new job September September eleventh,

608
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,440
I believe it is Oh okay,
what are you going to be doing?

609
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,480
So it's kind of working with steel
and metal and that type thing. So

610
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:42,119
I guess you could say I'm a
heavy metal work there, you go heavy

611
00:51:42,119 --> 00:51:46,000
metal here? Now? Is that? Will that give you more time to

612
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,440
obviously you'll I assume you'll be more
available to get out and play shows and

613
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,800
do things like that, right,
hopefully. Yeah. The problem I've got

614
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:58,719
at the moment is I aside from
the Midlands in the UK, and I

615
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,280
don't seem to be able to find
anyone who plays the type of thing I

616
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:07,639
do for any band's really a COVID
pretty much killed everything off. And yeah,

617
00:52:07,679 --> 00:52:10,360
and I I've been asked a few
times to play shows to backing tracks

618
00:52:10,519 --> 00:52:14,800
and just me play like the vocals
and the guitar. But yeah, I'm

619
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:19,559
like, man, I'm not doing
glorified karaoke to my own tracks. Now.

620
00:52:19,599 --> 00:52:23,159
That's interesting because a lot of musicians, in fact, I've I've met

621
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:28,199
musicians here in the area who who
will do things like that. And the

622
00:52:28,519 --> 00:52:32,199
technology really kinds of of kind of
lends itself more to that than ever before.

623
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,119
But but so, but you're not
interested in that. You don't you

624
00:52:36,159 --> 00:52:38,559
don't think that would that would work
for you. I'm not knocking anyone who

625
00:52:38,639 --> 00:52:42,119
does it, you know, I've
seen tons of artists who do it.

626
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:45,599
But I need a band to like
bounce the energy off of and the crowd.

627
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:47,559
If I'm just there awkwardly on the
stage, I just don't feel it

628
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:51,559
will work. You know. When
when I was in a band back in

629
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:53,760
the day, I used to get
really bad stage fright. Oh, And

630
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,960
when I was on the stage,
I was absolutely fine, and then we'd

631
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,599
have like a break halfway through,
and then it'd start to and I'd be

632
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:02,639
like, oh good, oh god, the police aft together, You've already

633
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:07,400
done forty minutes, what's wrong,
and then back on the stage. I'd

634
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:12,119
be fine. It's it's weird.
It's like a mental barrier. That's interesting.

635
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,079
But yeah, I can see how
that might add to not wanting to

636
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:19,320
be out there by yourself doing that, because at least when you're when you

637
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,280
have say, you know, and
I used to play in bands, and

638
00:53:21,519 --> 00:53:23,400
I'd get nervous before going on stage. But when you're in a band,

639
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,360
it's like, you know, you're
all in it together, so there's you

640
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,280
know, there's safety and numbers obviously, but if if that stage fright is

641
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,119
really affecting you going out there by
yourself, I can see where that might

642
00:53:34,159 --> 00:53:37,400
be an issue. Yeah, but
you know, if you ever did decide

643
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,320
to do it, you know,
it sounds like I mean, like I

644
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,599
said, the technology is available to
pull it off. But um, but

645
00:53:44,679 --> 00:53:49,360
yeah, I hopefully, I mean
it sounds like music that should be played

646
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,559
live. So hopefully at some point
you do have a band and can go

647
00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:55,679
out and do some shows. I
think that would be really cool. Um,

648
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,679
how much music if you recorded,
You've you've got, yeah, you

649
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:05,599
sound us four tracks but there's more
available online obviously. Yeah. So I've

650
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:10,920
got my first EP, which is
I believe that's four tracks. I'm quite

651
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:15,719
slow because I'm doing it all well. I've got a bit of help now,

652
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:16,760
but because I have been doing it
on my own, it's been taking

653
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:21,920
quite a while. However, it's
literally been the past week or so.

654
00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:27,000
It's sped up quite a bit.
I've got roughly three or four more that

655
00:54:27,039 --> 00:54:30,960
are practically done. I think there's
going to be ten on the album,

656
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,440
which shouldn't be too much longer,
and then I guess I'll see what i'd

657
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,159
work on next. Oh great,
great, any kind of a theme to

658
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:43,559
the album, just kind of that
raw energy. At the same time,

659
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,519
I have like a I just don't
want you know, where you hear certain

660
00:54:47,559 --> 00:54:52,039
bands and the song sound very similar
and the same. I always try to

661
00:54:53,079 --> 00:54:57,559
not. I don't want my songs
to be the same. I just want

662
00:54:57,559 --> 00:55:00,000
a different feel, a different approach
to each one. I want to say

663
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:04,639
energy, but right, you know, on my old EP, Um to

664
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,440
Me, Flock and Architect, they
sound very similar. A lot of people

665
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,920
tell me they don't, but in
my head it does. You know.

666
00:55:10,039 --> 00:55:14,800
I'll probably write about twenty songs and
only one will make the cut. Wow.

667
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:17,639
Yeah. I wonder if if if
part of that is, you know,

668
00:55:17,679 --> 00:55:21,280
if other people are telling you those
songs don't sound alike, but they

669
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:22,679
sound aliked you. I wonder if
part of that is just hearing them or

670
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:28,559
playing them so many times they things
things start to sound sound the same,

671
00:55:28,599 --> 00:55:31,320
and um, that makes sense.
But um, but it's also good to

672
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:36,480
stretch and you know, make that
conscious effort not to make things sound similar.

673
00:55:36,559 --> 00:55:39,280
So um, any kind of I
mean, that's probably a ways off,

674
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:43,719
right though you probably don't have any
eta on the on the full album

675
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,119
at this point, I would assume
no. I mean last year I was

676
00:55:46,159 --> 00:55:50,679
saying, oh, it will definitely
be out by last October, and we're

677
00:55:50,679 --> 00:55:53,840
now rapidly approaching October. I do
think it will be out by October hopefully.

678
00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:59,559
Yeah, with the speed I've picked
up, Yeah, ninthsent Sure it

679
00:55:59,599 --> 00:56:02,239
will be um, but we'll have
to see in case anything comes in the

680
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:07,280
way. By the way, was
it difficult when you were first starting to

681
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:13,639
do things by yourself after having been
in a band recording and you record in

682
00:56:13,679 --> 00:56:15,679
the barracks there, which is so
cool that you're able to do that?

683
00:56:16,679 --> 00:56:21,119
Was it was it difficult learning to
do that on your own, or sort

684
00:56:21,159 --> 00:56:24,039
of even just even just taking on
the responsibility of of doing it all by

685
00:56:24,079 --> 00:56:29,320
yourself, or did that come relatively
easy for you, because I've I've known

686
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,280
people who for some people it's a
it's a process, you know, trying

687
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,519
to learn how to do all that, and some people just kind of pick

688
00:56:35,559 --> 00:56:40,559
it up pretty quick and easy.
How was it for you? So I

689
00:56:40,599 --> 00:56:45,440
guess I'd like the creative control of
it. You know, we used to

690
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,280
do all right as a band.
Book I always felt held back in a

691
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,199
way because you've got someone saying,
oh, no, I don't like this

692
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,079
sound, I don't like the tone, I don't like where this one's going.

693
00:56:53,159 --> 00:56:57,760
And you know, when you've got
conflicting ideas, it's like, what's

694
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,519
the point in the end? You
know, I've noticed it's slower. It's

695
00:57:00,519 --> 00:57:05,239
a slow working process, the actual
writing and recording and all that, but

696
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,480
as far as actually coming up with
ideas and stuff like that. I'm finally

697
00:57:08,519 --> 00:57:12,360
able to put the sounds that I
hear in my head, you know,

698
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,320
into audio, which I've never been
able to do before. So I guess

699
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,199
it's easier. If anything, it's
just slower right right, Yeah, that

700
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,480
makes sense. That makes sense.
Um. So, so you're gonna be,

701
00:57:23,559 --> 00:57:27,079
you're gonna be out of the military
soon, you're gonna be, you're

702
00:57:27,079 --> 00:57:30,320
gonna be in the new job,
and hopefully I continue to recording. I

703
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,039
love what you do at When we
wrap up in a moment, I'm gonna

704
00:57:34,039 --> 00:57:36,920
play Let It Rain. I think
that's the one that I didn't play yet.

705
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,320
I really like that one too.
Was that did you? Was that

706
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:43,400
a single that you were featuring specifically? At one point I thought I saw

707
00:57:43,519 --> 00:57:46,440
something about that. You made a
video for it, so let It Rain.

708
00:57:47,639 --> 00:57:51,519
That's been out a while. It
didn't get that well received at first,

709
00:57:51,519 --> 00:57:52,880
which I can kind of see why. It's a bit of what we

710
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:55,960
have in the UK called mar might
you either love it or you hate it.

711
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,840
I did a music video for it
in the Power Week a week or

712
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,960
two. I guess it was I
just felt like doing it. You know,

713
00:58:04,239 --> 00:58:07,599
I used to spend money on big
budget videos, and I've realized that

714
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,559
you can make them just as good
if you just trial an error. You

715
00:58:09,559 --> 00:58:13,400
know, you don't need to spend
all that money. And I really like

716
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,679
the DIY sort of as you say, garage punk rock approach to it.

717
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,360
Yeah, you know, it adds
more to the theme anyway, and it's

718
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,800
more popular than the other ones anyway. So from now on, I'm just

719
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:27,239
going to make them myself. But
Perfess song good originally was from when I

720
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,159
was in the band. I wrote
it myself as like my own little song,

721
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,000
yeah, and it had slightly different
lyrics, add a bit of a

722
00:58:32,039 --> 00:58:37,239
different tone to it, really add
a different name everything. And I was

723
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:38,840
like, oh, it's a shame
to waste it because I know they wouldn't

724
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:43,639
have kept using it, you know, so I keep it myself, just

725
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,079
redo it. Yeah, yeah,
absolutely, no, It's it's great stuff,

726
00:58:47,119 --> 00:58:51,760
and it's nice, you know,
in terms of making videos or recording

727
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,840
music or any of it. It's
nice to live in a time where the

728
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:59,199
technology is advanced so much. And
it's funny in talking to people about music

729
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:04,280
videos. Zero people who have this
perception that nobody really makes videos anymore,

730
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,960
you know, because MTV hasn't played
them for decades now, I guess you

731
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,960
know, nobody really, you know, these cable channels don't really play them,

732
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:15,760
um and and so some people assume
that that means nobody bothers with videos

733
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,239
anymore that it's a dead art form, where when in fact, you know,

734
00:59:19,239 --> 00:59:22,320
if you go on YouTube and you
start looking around at some of these

735
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:27,519
artists, actually there's more music videos
than ever, especially if it's somebody with

736
00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:30,119
a lot of money like Beyonce.
She puts out a new album and every

737
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:35,199
song has a videos. It's incredible, you know, and of course she

738
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:37,880
has the big budget to do it. But yeah, it's uh, there's

739
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,480

01:07:20,559 --> 01:07:26,039

mentioned he liked it too. But
thank you again to Louis Tivy for joining

798
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:38,039

into our final segment today on the program,

799
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:44,119
without further Ado. We've got an
announcement, a media advisory if you

800
01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:47,360
will, for Monday, July thirty
first, So this Monday at eleven am.

801
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,320
And this is important because this is
an event that Jenny is going to

802
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:57,000
be participating in and speaking at.
And this just happened. She just was

803
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,880
asked to participate in this. So
I'm going to review the press release.

804
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:09,679
Senate Democratic Leader Donna Susy headlines Manchester
event on Monday of Protect Our Care's Lower

805
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:15,639
cost Better Care Bus Tour. Care
Force one rolls into Manchester, New Hampshire

806
01:08:15,719 --> 01:08:20,000
on Monday, as it travels across
sixteen plus states, making over thirty stops

807
01:08:20,039 --> 01:08:26,960
and covering nearly eight thousand miles.
Okay, so here's the details. On

808
01:08:27,159 --> 01:08:30,680
day one of our Protect Our Care's
Lower Costs Better Care Bus Tour, Senate

809
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:36,680
Democratic Leader don Donna Susy will join
healthcare advocates and Protect Our Care for an

810
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:42,760
event in Manchester, New Hampshire,
demonstrating how recent victories by President Biden and

811
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:47,159
Democrats in Congress are already driving down
healthcare costs by thousands of dollars a year,

812
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,600
with even more savings on the way. During the events, speakers will

813
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:57,640
discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act and
other healthcare measures will improve care and lower

814
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,520
costs for the American people. Over
four weeks, Care Force one will travel

815
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,159
to more than sixteen states, make
more than thirty stops, and travel nearly

816
01:09:04,239 --> 01:09:09,600
eight thousand miles. The Lower Costs, Better Care Tour promotes the work of

817
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:15,560
lawmakers who are fighting tirelessly to improve
healthcare and hold politicians accountable for trying to

818
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:19,520
roll back this progress and hight costs
and rip away protections from the American people.

819
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:25,680
While drug companies and lawmakers are doing
everything in their power to roll back

820
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:30,279
this progress in order to put profits
over people, Lawmakers like Senator Susy will

821
01:09:30,279 --> 01:09:33,199
stop at nothing to lower costs and
improve care for people across New Hampshire.

822
01:09:33,279 --> 01:09:39,359
August marks the first anniversary of the
Inflation Reduction Act and the savings that continues

823
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:44,359
to deliver to Granted Staters. And
here is who will be at the event

824
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,680
so far. Now, I think
there's more being added from what Jenny was

825
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:55,720
saying, but here is the list. Senate Democratic Leader Donna Susy, Xandra

826
01:09:56,079 --> 01:10:00,439
Rice Hawkins, founding Executive Director of
Granted State Progress US, Laura Packard,

827
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:08,479
who is a cancer survivor and healthcare
advocate, and Jennifer Coffee healthcare advocate,

828
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,960
and Jenny is a cancer survivor as
well. We should mention it's it's not

829
01:10:12,119 --> 01:10:16,199
mentioned here, but so this will
be happening at Veterans Memorial Park at seven

830
01:10:16,359 --> 01:10:21,239
twenty three Elm Street, so that's
very close to hear, actually right up

831
01:10:21,279 --> 01:10:26,159
the street there. This is Monday
morning at eleven am. So Monday,

832
01:10:26,279 --> 01:10:30,680
July thirty first, at eleven am. Jenny we'll be speaking at this event.

833
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:33,359
I'll be there too. Come on
down and see us, say hello.

834
01:10:34,159 --> 01:10:40,039
Here are the speeches, and and

835
01:10:40,119 --> 01:10:44,640
in this area recently, several trips
now to Washington, d C. To

836
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,119
speak, and the videos are online
if you want to see them, of

837
01:10:46,199 --> 01:10:48,720
course, if you haven't gotten to
see any of that. But this one

838
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,039
will be right up the street,
so I will be there with her,

839
01:10:51,119 --> 01:10:57,119
and I'll probably be streaming it on
social media while she's talking. But so

840
01:10:57,319 --> 01:11:01,279
that is that is this coming Monday, eleven am. And we'll remind you

841
01:11:01,399 --> 01:11:10,520

01:14:21,039 --> 01:14:26,359
don't particularly agree, but um we
didn't have a lot of time to really

888
01:14:26,359 --> 01:14:29,319
get into a protracted discussion about it. But you know, and he's my

889
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,279
dad. I give him some deference
to express himself. Of course, everyone

890
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,640
kind of gets there their say here, But you know, I give my

891
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,680
dad a little extra deference. But
Nick Murdock, responding to that, said,

892
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:43,520
being critical of Israel is not anti
semitism. Also again funny when right

893
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:46,960
wingers complain about anti semitism. Again, that's Nick's comment, not mine.

894
01:14:47,039 --> 01:14:51,960
But Melanie says, uh, so
he is a fan of Doctor Dre.

895
01:14:53,359 --> 01:14:56,600
Yes, my dad likes Doctor Dre. My dad likes a lot of hip

896
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:00,000
hop. Actually, um, he's
a big fan of that's song California.

897
01:15:00,159 --> 01:15:02,960
Remember that. I mean that was
came out what was at like end of

898
01:15:03,039 --> 01:15:06,399
the nineties, Oh maybe even before
that. She's might have been ninety five

899
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:12,000
ninety six with because yeah, because
Tupac was still alive. It's Doctor Dre

900
01:15:12,079 --> 01:15:14,560
and Tupac. That is a great
song. But yes, my dad does

901
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:19,319
like Doctor Dre. Uh. Let's
see Jay fed Is in the Facebook live

902
01:15:19,439 --> 01:15:23,800
chat. J fed asks what are
you looking for, Matt, because he

903
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,079
was watching me on the Facebook feed. I wasn't looking for anything. I

904
01:15:27,159 --> 01:15:31,880
was trying to get Skype reinstalled so
we could get Lewis Tivy on the on

905
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:38,880
the line, Melanie made a comment
regarding Sigmund Freud. She said, again

906
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,880
this regards. In regard to the
conversation with my dad, she says,

907
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,600
I think it is safe to bet
a safe bet that sexist cocaine addicts are

908
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,039
wrong about a lot. So yeah, Freud wasn't always spot on. I

909
01:15:49,199 --> 01:15:54,159
did not know that about Freud.
John Hopwood is in the chat and says,

910
01:15:54,199 --> 01:15:58,159
can we get don I missed back
from purgatory? Or Dave Ridley?

911
01:15:59,279 --> 01:16:03,199
I think I don't think you get
when someone is in purgatory. And again,

912
01:16:03,319 --> 01:16:06,880
my theology might be shaky, but
I believe once they are in purgatory,

913
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,560
you can't get them back. They're
already on the highway to heaven.

914
01:16:12,279 --> 01:16:16,880
Which was a great show starring Michael
Landon and Victor French. Oh. Nick

915
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,439
Murdock in the chat says, California
Love came out on December third, nineteen

916
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:28,319
ninety five. Oh so ninety five, almost ninety six. Let's see.

917
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:33,520
Lewis Tivy is in the chat.
He says that was some bad ass fault

918
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:38,319
finding on the skype. Well,
we had a prerecorded segment, so I

919
01:16:38,399 --> 01:16:44,199
had time to figure it out,
which is good. Let's see. Nick

920
01:16:44,279 --> 01:16:47,039
Murdock says, Ah, John Hopwood's
so good to see you Isaac Banks joins

921
01:16:47,119 --> 01:16:50,520
us in the chat room, of
course from Greensboro, North Carolina. Isaac

922
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:55,560
says, hello hashtag Matt Connerton.
By the way, new Force of the

923
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,840
Spark. We'll be watching the retro
Spectrum Radio with police at eight pm.

924
01:17:00,159 --> 01:17:03,399
They are good friends with me.
Hi hashtag Rik Pilcher, what's up.

925
01:17:04,239 --> 01:17:11,119
Lewis Tivy says Fight Club is an
awesome film. Isaac Banks agrees, let's

926
01:17:11,159 --> 01:17:16,520
see. Isaac Banks says, good
afternoon. Hashtag Lewis Tivy. Who were

927
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:23,680
influences of recording artists? Awkwardly worded, but we get the question, and

928
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:28,760
Isaac Banks also says hashtag Matt Connerton
have a wonderful weekend. Tell Paul Cormier

929
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:35,319
Hello for me from retro Spectrum Radio
with Paul c Lewis did answer the question,

930
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:40,760
he says, Oh blimey, so
many most scrunge bands, Black Sabbath,

931
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:45,199
Elvis, Richard Wagner, you name
it. I even like eminem There

932
01:17:45,279 --> 01:17:49,840
you go. Nick Murdock says,
l ol, I reloaded the page and

933
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:54,960
I missed the entire review. I
like his reviews too. Oops. Well,

934
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,840
you'll be able to get it in
the archive, of course. At

935
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:00,439
WMH radio dot org and my website
Matt Connors dot com. Nick said,

936
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,000
I forgot to hit play after reloading, I just ate some gummies and they

937
01:18:04,039 --> 01:18:12,479
are kicking in So I guess my
cognitive functioning has decreased. Let's see.

938
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:18,920
Mike from Queen City cabinetr says,
good afternoon everyone, and all right,

939
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:23,600
looks like we're caught up there.
Oh hello to Ronda Favero, who joins

940
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:27,920
us in the Facebook live chat from
the great state of California. Oh my

941
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,720
goodness, we are almost out of
time. Boy, is there anything really

942
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:34,479
quick we can do? Actually,
there is. You know, there's been

943
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:39,720
a tremendous amount of legal news.
Well this week, you know, we

944
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,720
talked about Hunter Biden and then the
Trump stuff. We'll have to put off

945
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:48,920
to next week. But wow,
that is that is something. Huh that's

946
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:53,600
just my dad referenced it, I
think. But anyway, but we don't

947
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,359
have time to get into all of
that. But here's something quick. If

948
01:18:56,399 --> 01:18:58,800
you didn't hear about this, you
know, Taylor Swift has been in the

949
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,199
news a lot, not for anything
bad really, but her tour. I

950
01:19:02,279 --> 01:19:04,399
mean, she's got to be the
biggest story and act in the world.

951
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:09,439
Currently well, listen to this.
This story is everywhere, but I found

952
01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:13,840
it on the Hill dot com.
Seismic activity in Seattle could have been caused

953
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:17,359
by Taylor's Swift fans. I didn't
know that something like this would even be

954
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,399
possible. But check this out.
This is not This is not satire,

955
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:27,239
This is not a joke. This
is real. Taylor Swift's pair of concerts

956
01:19:27,279 --> 01:19:31,680
in Seattle last weekend may have caused
more than just an emotional ground shaking in

957
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:36,479
the Emerald City. I didn't know
they called Seattle the Emerald City. Fans

958
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:42,199
at Swift's The Eras Tour may have
been screaming, crying, and jumping so

959
01:19:42,359 --> 01:19:45,279
loud during the American Singer Saturday and
Sunday shows that they caused an earth shaking

960
01:19:45,319 --> 01:19:53,720
equivalent to a two point three magnitude
earthquake for real. A local geology professor

961
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:59,880
at Western Washington University, Jackie Captain
Auerbach, said she observed the shaking or

962
01:20:00,039 --> 01:20:04,000
for a ten hour period for each
concert to compare their seismic activity to the

963
01:20:04,239 --> 01:20:11,359
twenty eleven Beast quake. A moment
of notable fan caused earth shaking after former

964
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:16,800
Seahawks player Marshawn Lynch Marshawn Lynch scored
a stunning touchdown during a major game.

965
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:23,359
Captain Auerbach told cunquote, the shaking
was twice as strong as beast quake.

966
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:29,600
It absolutely doubled it, unquote.
Luman Field, the home of the sports

967
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:35,119
teams the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders
Football Club, and Swift's recent concerts,

968
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:39,960
has a history of loudness. In
twenty seventeen, Seahawks fans broke the noise

969
01:20:40,039 --> 01:20:45,720
record for the loudest outdoor sports stadium
on multiple occasions at what was known at

970
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:49,880
the time as Century Link Field Sports
Stadium. Shaking is not completely unusual during

971
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:55,119
noteworthy game moments or big name concerts. A Garth Brooks concert and Baton Rouge

972
01:20:55,159 --> 01:21:01,239
Louisiana was reportedly captured on a local
side Is McGrath last year as well.

973
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:08,880
This occurred right before Garth went on
a murdering spree. Okay, that last

974
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:12,239
sentence, I added that that was
a call back to a segment we did

975
01:21:12,279 --> 01:21:15,880
earlier in the week. Garth Brooks
probably I don't want to get sued.

976
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,800
Garth Brooks probably not really a serial
killer. No, but this is this

977
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:26,239
is remarkable. I didn't know that
you could cause earthquakes at concerts with or

978
01:21:26,359 --> 01:21:30,359
sporting events with people being that loud. That is incredible. We learned something,

979
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:34,920
my friends. We learned a little
something about geology, and that's very

980
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:40,479
exciting. And I wouldn't have thought
that geology could be exciting, but that

981
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:43,760
is exciting. All right, we
are out of time, my friends.

982
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:46,000
I am going to play once again. This is my favorite track from our

983
01:21:46,119 --> 01:21:51,920
musical guest today, Lewis Tivy.
This is called Freudian Slip. And don't

984
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:59,640
forget. Monday morning, eleven am
the big event at a veterans park right

985
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,760
here in downtown Manchester. Jenny and
I will be there. Jenny is going

986
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:08,199
to be speaking and really looking forward
to that, So come down say hello,

987
01:22:08,359 --> 01:22:12,000
check that out. And Monday on
the show, our musical guest will

988
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:16,279
be hip hop artist Ka Daver.
I've interviewed. He's probably as far as

989
01:22:16,399 --> 01:22:21,520
musicians I've interviewed multiple times. I
may have interviewed Kay Daver more than any

990
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:26,039
other musical guests over the years.
He's been on this show and on other

991
01:22:26,119 --> 01:22:29,159
shows that I've done quite a few
times. Great guy. Really looking forward

992
01:22:29,159 --> 01:22:31,319
to that. So if you miss
any part of today's show. It will

993
01:22:31,359 --> 01:22:35,239
be up in just a little bit
at WMH radio dot org and on my

994
01:22:35,319 --> 01:22:39,600
website Matt Connerton dot com. And
don't forget, I will be back tonight

995
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:45,319
for Retrospectrum Radio with Paul ec and
Paul's guest tonight is his friend Aaron Zadovsky,

996
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:48,600
producer, director. Really looking forward
to that. That's going to be

997
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:54,560
very very cool. All right,
on that note, quite literally, we're

998
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,560
out. This is Freudian slip Lewis
Tivy, great stuff. Check this out

999
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,760
and I'll talk to y'all a little
bit later. Five. Very body,
