my head and liking it. Yes, yes, but yes yes. Speaking

11
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,599
of songs. By the way,
that opening track that I played today was

12
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,200
called tell Me by the band Wired
for Sound we had on the show recently.

13
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,079
And the reason I opened with that
they're not our musical guest today.

14
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,120
We do have a musical guest coming
up today, but that song has just

15
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:52,879
been stuck in my head for days. That's my favorite of their song,

16
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:57,599
and it's so it's so catchy U. So yeah, I had to I

17
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,840
had to play that today. I
had to hear it on the headphones.

18
00:02:01,159 --> 00:02:07,400
So welcome everybody. Yes. Uh. In the first hour, Jenny's going

hold the record. He's been to our

Banks mentions that Paul Rubens also known

64
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:16,800
the age of seventy. Did see
that, Yes, I guess he had

65
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:24,120
cancer. Yeah. Um, that's
that's all I saw. I don't I

66
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,240
don't know any more details than that. But I was a private battle with

67
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,480
cancer. That's that's all I know. Yeah. It's it's odd because you

68
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:32,079
know, we were talking just recently
on the show about I forget who I

69
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:34,279
was. I don't think it was
with you. I was talking with somebody

70
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:40,160
about this on the show about how
um, sometimes some celebrities do a very

71
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:44,040
good job of keeping it very very
quiet, because I didn't hear anything about

72
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,560
him being sick. Oh, not
at all. I still remember the day

73
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,279
that we woke up to the news
that David Bowie had passed away, and

74
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,199
I heard nothing about him being sick, and apparently he kept it very quiet.

75
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,920
Bozeman, I had no idea about
Bozeman until he passed. Boman.

76
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,279
Oh, Chad Bozman, Chadwick Boseman. Yeah, yeah, he was young

77
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:09,439
too. Yeah, like really get
an aggressive cancer. Yeah, that's terrible.

78
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:13,480
Um. Let me give the studio
line one more time and then we'll

79
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,079
get into uh into what what we
did today or what you did six zo

80
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:20,439
three two five six seven is a
studio line six zo three two five six

81
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,120
zero seven. Oh, by the
way, Zik Banks I says, that's

82
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:27,639
right. I'm from Greensboro, North
Carolina. Hashtag jen and hashtag man.

83
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:32,680
How did we know? You know? It's like I'm I'm I'm geographically psychic

84
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,040
or something. I can. I
can guess where people are. It's amazing.

85
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:45,199
Oh so, okay, well where
is Kyle Heavie? Where is Kyle

86
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,199
Heavy? Yes? You should know. You said you can psychically know where

87
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:51,480
people are? No, no,
no, no, no, where they're

88
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:58,920
where they're where they're from? Oh? Come now? Why why where is

89
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:01,120
Kyle Heavy? I feel like this
is a good question. I just I

90
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,000
think that you vivid. Okay,
I think I think Kyle Leavie is in

91
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,680
Manchester, New Hampshire right now.
Could be? Oh, Eric Street says

92
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,480
Chadwick Boseman was forty three. Yeah, he was really young. Damn.

93
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,519
I thought he was pancreatic cancer or
was it? No? I think it

94
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,800
was a colirectal cancer. Really,
I was gonna say pancreatic would make sense

95
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:28,439
because that that's what took um.
Oh help me actor, really good dancer?

96
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:32,519
Well, Patrick. Yeah, he
was a pacreatic cancer. Yeah,

97
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,480
it's um I know that that one
really can sneak up on you. And

98
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:43,680
then it's it's probably is that considered
generally the most aggressive. It's one of

99
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,639
the most aggressive cancers to have.
The survival rate isn't very high. It's

100
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,199
like they do what's called a whipple, which is like this massive surgery that's

101
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,279
it's dangerous in and of itself,
but it's like a hail Mary surgery to

102
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,439
try and get the cancer. Yeah, before it gets a really good hold.

103
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,439
Yeah, some cases it's rare to
survive it. Yeah, it's just

104
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,959
it's a very aggressive cancer. Yeah. But you know, hope is on

105
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,519
the horizon. They're working on new
stuff all the time. The breast cancer

106
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,199
vaccine that I've been watching for and
talking about for a number of years now

107
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:22,360
is moving forward for UM. I
believe it's going into trials to test whether

108
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:26,560
or not it can help block the
most common breast cancer, which is um

109
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:35,120
oh god invasive ductor carcinoma ARPR positive
hurts too negative, which is a long

110
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,960
lingo, but it's the most common
of breast cancers. Yeah. You know

111
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,759
what sucks though, is this is
how cynical. I've become about healthcare,

112
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:50,799
and of course that relates to the
speech you gave today. I have for

113
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:56,919
and actually for years now, whenever
I'm reading an article about a breakthrough in

114
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:00,960
whether it be cancer treatment or for
anything else. You know what, my

115
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,960
first thought is, what, Oh, this will be great for the wealthy.

116
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,159
That literally is if you think that, That literally is my first thought.

117
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,919
Wow, the wealthy are really going
to benefit from this? Uh this

118
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,600
this new cancer vaccine? Say well, um, but yeah, why don't

119
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,279
you go ahead and uh wait wait
do you want me start with the trip

120
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,840
and then go to today. Oh
yeah, I might as well do it

121
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:26,639
chronologically. That's true. You haven't
been on the show since you got back

122
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,279
from your trip either, Yeah,
so start there. Well, actually I'll

123
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,120
start one week prior to that to
give a piece of good news that I

124
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,000
haven't been able to be here to
see my left eye. The hole in

125
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,039
my left eye has completely healed shuts
from the timokspin rettinopathy. And the only

126
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,799
thing we can in the hole is
you don't want to say healed shut.

127
00:09:46,799 --> 00:09:50,399
It makes it sound like your eye
is close. I have I came down

128
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,440
with tomokswin rettinopathy. Being on timokspin
for breast cancer to prevent it from coming

129
00:09:54,440 --> 00:10:00,240
back, became toxic in my body
and actually did me damage. It's why

130
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,039
I have hearing aids in part because
it exacerbated my hearing loss and it burned

131
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:11,879
literally burned holes in the backs of
my retina and put crystalline material in the

132
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,480
macularum, really affecting my vision and
it can be really messy. I mean,

133
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,360
we've been watching this for a number
of years now. We found out

134
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,879
originally in twenty nineteen. That's why
I went to Europe. It was my

135
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,360
Hill Mary trip before I went blind, and I am not going blind quite

136
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,960
to the contrary. My lifestyle changes
have definitely paid off. The only thing

137
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,399
we can attribute the healing to is
the fact that I live very cleanly and

138
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,960
changed my diet and everything else.
So the hole that was in my left

139
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,000
eye has now closed, and there's
only it's healed. It's healed well,

140
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:48,919
I say closed, because there's a
normal hole anything. Yeah, you're going

141
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:52,320
to correct me. Well, because
people talk about closing. I don't want

142
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,559
to. I just don't want to
confuse anybody, and they think that that

143
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,399
means your eyes now permanently closed or
something. Why would somebody the back of

144
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,840
my retina all right in a gallery? This is what I put up with

145
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:09,720
anyway. So the crystalline in my
left eye is there's only two little pieces

146
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:13,440
left. So my vision in my
left eye has improved back to twenty thirty.

147
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,519
My right eye, on the other
hand, the whole's permanent. We

148
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,720
can't fix it. But the crystalline
is gone and my vision is twenty one

149
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:24,080
hundred. So but overall, an
extremely good report and not one that we

150
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,639
anticipated because, like I said,
we found this in twenty nineteen. So

151
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,039
here we are twenty twenty three,
and the hole that was in my left

152
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,360
eye is now gone. Yeah,
healed, Yes, closed, and all

153
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,559
of the above. So I wanted
to start out with that piece of good

154
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,440
news because I was really wanting to
share that because you guys have been through

155
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,600
this journey with me, and I
thought you'd love to hear that. So

156
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,399
I went back to DC. This
was my third trip back. This time

157
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:54,360
I went back with an organization called
b a Hero, and Be a Hero

158
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,600
is an amazing organization. They were
started by a gentleman named Audi Bach and

159
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,279
he came down with als and he's
very blunt and open with what he talks

160
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:09,639
about in the fact that he is
dying. He is an incredible man who

161
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:15,159
has spent his journey trying to better
everybody else's he's fighting for healthcare for everybody,

162
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,759
and he's also fighting for home healthcare, which really struck my heart because

163
00:12:18,799 --> 00:12:22,440
I cut my teeth as a home
healthcare aid way back in the day.

164
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,320
Right go to people's houses and help
them there, and you just you go

165
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,600
to different patients that way. But
yeah, having him highlight that really took

166
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:37,919
my attention. But he's trying to
bring more attention on it and onto he's

167
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,559
asking everybody to be a hero,
to contribute to help in the fight.

168
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,559
To talk to your elected officials and
the people that want your vote on where

169
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,399
are they going to be on the
healthcare issues? Right? So you guys

170
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,519
know all are my issue and the
people that I work with. This is

171
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:54,159
about healthcare for everybody, no matter
who you are, no matter where you

172
00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,559
are in this country, that you
get the same healthcare that some rich,

173
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,240
pampered you know, Bigwig gets it. You know, never knows your your

174
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,200
trouble, never has to imagine deciding
on what food they can buy versus what

175
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,200
medication that's our lives. So we
were done, and what we want you

176
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:16,120
to stand up with us when I
went back this time, Actually, Jenny,

177
00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:18,639
hold hold that thought for a second. We got we gotta call.

178
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,840
I think it's Billy Painter on the
line. Hey Billy, Hello, Oh

179
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:31,399
okay, you must pocketed us,
all righty. So this time when I

180
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,159
went back, I had the honor
and privilege to meet with about seven years

181
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:41,960
so New York City retirees made up
of fire ems, police and teachers,

182
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:48,080
all retirees that were promised in their
contracts that when they retired, they would

183
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,039
have traditional Medicare and they would have
their city supplement policy versus the medic gap.

184
00:13:52,039 --> 00:13:54,879
And this is what they were going
to have for the rest of their

185
00:13:54,919 --> 00:13:58,399
lives. So, now that they're
retired and they don't get to vote on

186
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,840
anything, the city, the mayor, and the heads of their own union,

187
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,159
believe it or not, made a
deal to save money on the backs

188
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:16,159
of the retirees by forcing them off
their traditional Medicare plan and forcing them onto

189
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,440
a private you guessed it, Medicare
disadvantage plan like I have on like all

190
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,240
of the heck that I've gone thorough
and they're trying to force these people onto

191
00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:30,120
that, which would make them lose
their doctors, lose their providers because they'd

192
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,960
have to go to in network providers
and everything would change. And they don't

193
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,639
want this. They don't want this
at all. They've been fighting the city.

194
00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,720
They've sued six times, they've won
six times. They have numerous restraining

195
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:46,480
orders against the city preventing them from
moving forward. But they're still fighting for

196
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,679
their lives with this. And I
had the honor of meeting all of these

197
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,720
people in a church basement for lunch, and they wanted to hear about my

198
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:58,279
story and other stories to kind of
give them some fuel and some understanding about

199
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,559
what they're fighting to stay away from. They know what they don't want,

200
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,759
but they need the ammunition to go
with it. You know. They wanted

201
00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:09,279
to have something more to draw,
more to draw from than just I don't

202
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,919
want this. I don't want this
because I've seen this woman's father die,

203
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:20,120
because I've managed I don't even want
to call it that. It's disgusting excuse

204
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,039
for medical care with Medicare disadvantage.
You know, they claim that they're going

205
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:26,879
to cover everything on Medicare, and
they don't. So this is why we're

206
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:31,639
all up there. So after leaving
there, we actually all marched together,

207
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:37,440
which is insane to march through DC, can I tell you? Very invigorating,

208
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:41,759
very powerful, And I have the
most amazing team around me. I

209
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,960
want for nothing. They had water
around me. They rent a wheelchair to

210
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,960
push me in. Like I don't
worry about my health. They definitely look

211
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,240
out for me. So we all
marched and we were marching over to the

212
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,799
others to this on the Capitol,
right up on Capitol Hill. But there's

213
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,480
a place called the Triangle, which
is like a permit, a place where

214
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:04,480
there's a permanent podium for press conferences. And that's where you know, the

215
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:08,080
media knows to go there. Everybody
knows to go there for a press conference

216
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,919
on Capitol Hill. So that's where
we were marching too. But on the

217
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,679
way we took a stop by the
steps and this was like something out of

218
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:21,399
a movie. I swear. We're
marching through like with signs. We get

219
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,240
the bullhorn and uh, and we
come up to the actual steps of the

220
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:30,840
Capitol and here is um uh congressman. Forgive me, I'm trying to remember

221
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:37,840
his last name. Oh Cassar,
Greg Cassar, Cassar, Sorry, Cassar

222
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,679
c A S A R. I
get stuck in his name for some reason.

223
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:45,679
I think I try to make it
Casper like I'm not even sure,

224
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,679
but so Greg castAR. Cassar is
a representative newly elected. He's the first

225
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:52,639
timer, right, so he's young, he's got the he's got the vigor,

226
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,080
and he looked like something out of
a movie. He's sitting on the

227
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,720
Capitol steps. He's got the shirt
rolled up and a few buttons on his

228
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:03,960
neck uncovered, and he's standing there
sweating, and he's doing a hunger strike

229
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,440
and a thirst strike because he's trying
to stand up for the fact that his

230
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:12,319
governor back in Texas took away the
protections for heat breaks, which Texas,

231
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,920
you know how hot it's there,
right, It's been like triple digits forever

232
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,720
lately. They have laws on the
box to make sure that employers are giving

233
00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:23,400
their workers water breaks so you don't
like, you know, dehydrate and pass

234
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,480
out at work or die or die. Yeah, that one too. So

235
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:33,200
Governor Abbott apparently took those those protections
away, so he staged a hunger strike

236
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:37,240
and a thirst strike, which was
insane to me because it was like one

237
00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:41,640
of the hottest days. I was
melting. So we stopped and he talked

238
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,559
to us too, and he heard
about our issues and it's one hundred percent

239
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:49,480
in support. And then we marched
on over to the Triangle and I forgot

240
00:17:49,519 --> 00:17:52,759
about the office visits, but we'll
go back to that. We had a

241
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,440
really great press conference. Let me
tell you. The press conference was only

242
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,000
supposed to be thirty minutes. It's
the bo Hero organization, the New York

243
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:06,039
City Retiree is and we were expecting
a couple of reps, maybe in a

244
00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:08,880
senator to come out. That's not
what happened. Get out there and there's

245
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:15,559
all these people, and there's multiple
senators, multiple representatives. Everybody wants to

246
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,759
join. Everybody wants to prove to
the rest of the world in this country

247
00:18:18,799 --> 00:18:23,920
that they support healthcare for all.
And they all came out, and it

248
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,839
was amazing to see how many came
out. Myself and another young lady named

249
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:37,640
Megan Bent told her story and it's
a heartbreaking story. And the sick part

250
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,640
about it is it's United Healthcare Medicare
disadvantage that her family had drabble with too,

251
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,799
same as me, and her dad
died and in my opinion, he

252
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:51,799
died because he was denied the care
that could have extended his life, that

253
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:53,599
could have made it better. I
mean, the man suffered and he shouldn't

254
00:18:53,640 --> 00:19:00,839
have, and the family suffered beyond
beyond. Megan's mom has actually testified before

255
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,640
Senator Bloomenthal and on a Congressional subcommittee
about the denials that happened and what they

256
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,680
believe how that exacerbated her dad's death. So she spoke, and then I

257
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:18,599
spoke, and we got both of
us got extremely welcomed and a lot of

258
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,319
thank yous. Senator Warre and then
got up and spoke from Massachusetts and there

259
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,839
was a head of one of the
largest nursing organizations in the country was there.

260
00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:33,759
There were so many I lost count
and I can't possibly rattle off all

261
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:37,680
of the Senators and the representatives that
came out. I know, I ran

262
00:19:37,759 --> 00:19:42,480
into Representative Jaia Paul when we were
we went to the Senate Heart Building,

263
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:45,200
which is where all the Senate a
lot of the Senate offices are in that

264
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,319
building, and we kind of did
like a Happy Birthday Medicare thing because it

265
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,200
was the fifty eighth birthday of Medicare. Were wanting to highlight that because everybody

266
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:56,920
says to say, what does everybody
say, can't wait to have Medicare?

267
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,039
My mom same thing, can't wait
to have Medicare because it because it's so

268
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,319
much better. So we're trying to, you know, put the highlight on

269
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,319
there, and a lot of us
feel that it's absolutely wrong for these private,

270
00:20:07,319 --> 00:20:11,119
for profit health insurance companies to be
able to use the Medicare name right

271
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:17,799
when it's very misleading. Extraordinarily yes, and they're they're using aggressive tactics these

272
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,640
days too. You know. I
have a personal friend whose autistic child was

273
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,200
was co called and signed up for
a Medicare advantage plan because they didn't know

274
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,880
what it was really going on,
and the person you know, talked them

275
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,359
into it. Now, thankfully they
were able to undo it. But these

276
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,119
kind of things are happening across the
country. They're happening with the eld that

277
00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,160
happening at at farmers markets. They're
striking people near their homes where they know

278
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,359
there's a large elderly population, and
they're trying to suck them into this because

279
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:52,279
once they're in, they can't get
out like I can't. So we also,

280
00:20:52,119 --> 00:21:00,400
I had the privilege of sitting with
Senator Shaheen's staff member, Vic,

281
00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:03,519
who's in charge of like Healthcare's a
legislative assistant about and I had gotten to

282
00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:07,200
meet him before when I went last
time, and we were talking about getting

283
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,279
the prior authorizations we got for me, And what you guys don't know is

284
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,400
that all got blown out of the
water and when it came right down to

285
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,519
them actually paying for things, I've
got all kinds of excuses coming out now,

286
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,039
Like one of the prior authorizations is
in network, one of them is

287
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:26,759
out of network. They both look
the same. Nowhere are they identified differently.

288
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:32,960
They even have the same office code
for the second procedures. And there's

289
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,599
no way the answer I get as
well, you can see it on my

290
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,000
screen. Well that's nice, that's
nice. I can't see it. So

291
00:21:38,039 --> 00:21:41,799
I did get to sit down with
Vic, and he listened to the New

292
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,079
York retirees about what they were going
through as well, because Senator He's going

293
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,480
to need to know about these issues
when she's voting, and we're also trying

294
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,759
to ask our senators and to hold
hearings as well. We want them to

295
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:00,279
get the truth and really do investigations
into these denials and priorizations that delay care

296
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,640
and caused people to die. Senator
Shaheen's office was so receptive as to what's

297
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:10,119
going on and what I was looking
at with these two prior authorizations, and

298
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,319
we can cross the no surprise thing
in the moment. But they assigned me

299
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:21,039
a caseworker. So I have a
caseworker with Senator Shaheen's office helping me talk

300
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:26,599
to these United Healthcare now. And
I also have representative from Senator Hassen's office,

301
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,279
Elsie, out in Portsmouth. If
you near the Portsmouth office. She's

302
00:22:30,279 --> 00:22:34,839
an amazing young lady, does a
lot of great work. They immediately jumped

303
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:38,519
on it when I wrote to them
asking them. I basically asked the senators

304
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,240
both of them in like one email
because I was just so upset. I

305
00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:45,359
didn't know who to talk to.
So I just reached out to everybody and

306
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:49,680
asked them if they would write a
letter on my behalf to help me trying

307
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,359
to keep you know, because you
know what, literally I'm trying to stay

308
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:59,519
alive here. Like it gets really
upsetting and frustrating when you're dealing with these

309
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,440
these these these what do you call
them the service agents or and and they're

310
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,480
like, well, things just don't
move that fast. I don't have your

311
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:11,240
time. Yeah, I don't have
your time. They screwed up my prior

312
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,319
authorization, so they tell me to
do this. They tell me to appeal

313
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,519
it within thirty days in writing,
and they get thirty to sixty days to

314
00:23:19,559 --> 00:23:22,720
make a decision on it. Right, So I got three months awaiting.

315
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,039
That's part of how the how it's
gamed against you, right right. I

316
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:30,839
did get to stop and to send
a Hassan's office and thank her. When

317
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:34,200
I was in DC, I was
disappointed. I have to stay with the

318
00:23:34,319 --> 00:23:37,880
meeting with the Finance Committee. Yeah, we're really trying to get them to

319
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,720
hold these hearings, and they seem
to give me the feeling like they think

320
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:47,319
they did enough to make some some
fixes. Is there are some fixes coming

321
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:52,319
on the horizon come January first.
One of them I think is supposed to

322
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,359
affect some of the no surprises.
But the no surprises we've talked about on

323
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,440
this show before, and that's when
you get a bill. So you go

324
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,000
to our care and you get the
bill and they're charging you in network for

325
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:07,119
the urgent care, but out of
network for the doctor, and you have

326
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,480
no way of knowing that you are
urgent care. That's called no surprises,

327
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:15,079
and that's what's supposed to be law. Now. So I got my latest

328
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,920
EOB and I wait for my cancer
check like I do every year, and

329
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:22,599
I have this. I'll share it
with anybody who wants to see it.

330
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,119
They don't believe me. I'm looking
at my explanation of benefits. That's what

331
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,200
an EOB is that you get from
your insurance company. You should get from

332
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,079
your insurance company every month explaining what
they paid and what you're responsible for.

333
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,759
And they have Dana Farber Hospital on
there because I went from my mammogram and

334
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:45,079
you have one line with the name
of the provider and apparently part of the

335
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,720
mammogram charges marked as in network,
and it says I owe nothing because on

336
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:55,279
the Medicare laws, the mamography is
covered one hundred percent. Then you look

337
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,160
underneath that and you see Dana Farber
Hospital out of network with a additional momography

338
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,279
charges. Let me tell you,
as a breast cancer patient, you might

339
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:08,519
as well stab me through the hot
yourself. I have one breast, I

340
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:15,839
lost one to the cancer. You're
splitting up my momography charges on one side

341
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,440
and billing me in and out.
Of network, and I have no idea

342
00:25:18,519 --> 00:25:22,720
of knowing in or out. I've
gone to Dana Farber every year since the

343
00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:26,480
cancer. That's what the surgery was
takeing was done, and that's what I'm

344
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,920
looking at now. These are the
kind of things that destroy families, that

345
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,880
make people go bankrupt, People end
up medically poor because you get no money

346
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,480
left to spend on food. You're
spending it all on meds and everything.

347
00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:41,839
Well, that's the number one cause
of bankruptcy in the United States is medical

348
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:44,160
bankruptcy. And then the rest of
the world is looking at us like we're

349
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,960
gross, like really, and we're
the only country in the world at least

350
00:25:48,079 --> 00:25:51,960
developed as as far as I know, that attaches healthcare to your job.

351
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,519
As long as you can work,
you get health insurance. The minute you

352
00:25:53,559 --> 00:25:56,880
get sick and you need it.
Ah, you lost your job and with

353
00:25:56,079 --> 00:26:00,559
that the health insurance. By the
way, Peter White, of course of

354
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,759
the Morning Show with Peter White,
he's in the chat room. He says,

355
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,119
I just got here. Could you
have Jenny start over? No,

356
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:11,000
And by the way, we'll be
archived and put up. By the way,

357
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:14,839
Billy Billy Panter tried to call back
in Billy I'm gonna ask you,

358
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,160
I know why you're calling. I'm
gonna ask you to call in during the

359
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,640
last hour after our interview with Kadaver
if you don't mind, just because I

360
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,880
want to stay on topic with us
because there's a lot to cover before our

361
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:30,880
musical guest. So what we what
I need you guys to do as to

362
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:33,839
not be quiet t take a few
minutes out send an email to your elected

363
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,480
official speak up. I mean we're
in New Hampshire here right, We of

364
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:41,920
all people know how to handle our
politicians who come in and want our votes.

365
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,960
You need to point blank get in
the faces of these guys and ask

366
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,559
them about healthcare because you know what
they've got, Cadillac insurance. They don't

367
00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:55,559
want for nothing. When it's them
and your mom who's a nurse, or

368
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,480
your dad who's attack who works in
healthcare and delivers this service and puts in

369
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:07,559
thirteen hour chifts, or like a
firefighters and EFTs doing twenty four hour shifts,

370
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:14,480
they get sick. Who's providing the
care to them? Nobody because they

371
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,400
can't afford to get through the door. They can't get through the door.

372
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,880
That's what what I'm fighting. I'm
fighting for everybody to have access to equal

373
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,920
access to healthcare. It shouldn't be
for the rich. You can have whatever

374
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,319
you want. Oh you need cancer
care, here you go. But your

375
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,480
grandma who is a school teacher for
the last forty years and she needs breast

376
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:37,480
cancer care. Now too late,
too bad, Sorry, chickie, you

377
00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,079
lost your job. Whatever I mean
it, I'm done with our society living

378
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,720
like this. The people, the
blood, sweat and tears of this population,

379
00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:49,240
the working people who do everything to
make this country work, are the

380
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:53,839
ones that pay the most when it
comes to getting their own healthcare, and

381
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,759
a lot of times go without completely
or rash in their own care. I

382
00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:02,799
mean, I've had to ration Mike
care. It shouldn't be like this in

383
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:04,759
the United States of America. You
know, we get the best healthcare in

384
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:10,319
the world. Grandma shouldn't be dying
two doors down from the hospital because she

385
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:14,240
can't have the hot medicine inside the
hospital because she hasn't have the money to

386
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,000
buy her way in. I'm done
with that. That's what I'm doing.

387
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:21,160
Well. It's like I always say, you know, my first principle when

388
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,079
it comes to this is I say, we live in the wealthiest, most

389
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,079
innovative, most successful country in the
history of the world, and based on

390
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,440
that, you are never going to
convince me that, in the wealthiest,

391
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:37,759
most successful, most innovative country in
the history of the world, that we

392
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,480
just somehow can't figure out this is
just one problem we can't solve. We

393
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:45,319
just can't figure out a way to
make sure that every single American has access

394
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:49,519
to adequate or preferably better than adequate
healthcare. I I will not accept that.

395
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,720
I just don't. I hear the
excuses, I hear the rationalizations and

396
00:28:53,799 --> 00:29:00,640
the justifications why we have to have
this frankly sociopathic system. I just don't.

397
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:06,440
I just Peter's making me laugh.
He says, we need to punch

398
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,839
healthcare in the face. No,
no, no, what we've been doing

399
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:10,519
well. We don't want to.
No, no, we don't want to

400
00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:12,839
punch healthcare in the face. We
want to. We want to punch the

401
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:18,240
healthcare uh, the health insurance companies
in the face, not healthcare. Healthcare

402
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,319
itself is good, more previous than
that. I want to. We want

403
00:29:21,319 --> 00:29:25,039
to. We want to caress and
and hug healthcare. We love healthcare.

404
00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:27,960
I want private health insurance to heck
out of Medicare. Right, that's where

405
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,839
we want to punch. I want
them out of healthcare. We have to

406
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,720
punch very Melanie also said something in
the chat room too that's very funny,

407
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,440
but I don't want to read that
on the air because oh, I know

408
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:44,359
when it comes right. Be a
Hero fun dot com. Be a Hero

409
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:49,079
fun dot com. That's Audibas organization, and I mean, this is his

410
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,960
life. But he's doing everything that
he can with this before he dies.

411
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:57,839
He knows he's dying, and he's
fighting for all of us and for his

412
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:03,160
own two young kids. And the
other organization that we got involved with is

413
00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:07,640
Protect Our Care and Protect our Care
dot org is where we were today.

414
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:15,440
They started their nationwide UM bus tour. They're calling the Large Bus Care Force

415
00:30:15,559 --> 00:30:21,319
one and they're crossing sixteen states and
eight thousand miles. Manchester, New Hampshire

416
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,400
was the starting point for today and
that's what we met up with. They're

417
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,759
talking a lot about UM lower costs
for healthcare, better care, and wanting

418
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:34,759
to keep changing the laws in that
way. They are They are very happy

419
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:41,680
with the Inflation Reduction Act and how
it is UM passing some good laws to

420
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:47,400
help get better healthcare out there for
us, like I think the insulin is

421
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,279
cemented in that bill, if I
remember correctly, the cap on insulin.

422
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,960
I'm not sure. I get very
exactly. I get very confused about that.

423
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,559
Yeah, and you know we should
uh so, just in the interests

424
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:07,440
of full disclosure, So we should
acknowledge that that is a partisan you know,

425
00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:11,880
it's it's a it's a partisan to
protective organization and yeah, yeah,

426
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,359
you know, and uh but um, you know, you kind of have

427
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,319
to go with when you're when you're
advocating, uh and being an activist on

428
00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:25,279
a particular issue which is obviously very
personal to you and and of course to

429
00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:29,240
me as well and to many people, well to millions of people. Actually,

430
00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:30,480
you know, you kind of when
it comes to that issue, you

431
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:36,200
kind of have to go where the
people are who are actually doing something about

432
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,039
it. So that's um, you
know, So it doesn't necessarily mean that

433
00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:47,400
we agree with everything about the about
that law, or that we disagree with

434
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,519
any elements of it. I just
want to clarify for people, you know,

435
00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:53,839
we're not because I can art I
already know, I can already think

436
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:59,400
of the specific people in some instances
who are going to be very upset that

437
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,400
we're talking about the saying anything positive
about the Inflation Reduction Act we're talking about

438
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:12,920
as pertains to this specific issue,
and I would just talking about and right

439
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,640
and I and I would just also
you know, and by the way,

440
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,079
if if there are some people on
the other side of the aisle who are

441
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:22,960
doing something positive on healthcare right now
at this moment, I would love to

442
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,160
hear about that as well. Absolutely, this is not any kind of a

443
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,960
partisan thing, because I already know
some people are going to take it that

444
00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:32,799
way. This is not. But
again, we go where the work is

445
00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:36,279
being done, let me put it
that way, and this is where the

446
00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:39,519
work is being done on this.
So part of the Inflation Reduction Act includes

447
00:32:39,799 --> 00:32:50,480
measures to stop junk healthcare plans from
discriminating and then junk stop junk healthcare pans

448
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,359
from being promoted to people. These
are the kind of plans that basically have

449
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880
like the kind of catastrophic so called
coverage, but they don't really have good

450
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,519
coverage of anything else at all.
Yeah, and they're really just a money

451
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:04,880
grab because when it comes to down
to you actually using it, you end

452
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,440
up with a way a lot of
bigger bill and you you're looking at it

453
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,000
like what kind of insurance is this? It really isn't anything. It's feel

454
00:33:10,039 --> 00:33:14,279
good until you need it. That
was that was kind of an unfortunate side

455
00:33:14,279 --> 00:33:17,440
effect of the Affordable Care Act.
I think is that we problems we started

456
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,799
Well, yeah, no, but
that's what I'm saying. That's where I

457
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:22,799
feel that, that's where it started, where a lot of these junk healthcare

458
00:33:22,839 --> 00:33:27,960
plans really emerged in the market.
I mean it's it's, you know,

459
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,920
if you can get something cheap,
that's that's nice until you need to actually

460
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,039
use it, and then you realize
you have a five thousand dollars deductible or

461
00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:37,480
something absurd. My mom having a
pay or deductible one hundred percent up front,

462
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,440
so she had a Bayer MRI a
hundredercent up front. Yeah. But

463
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:45,079
like the other part of it is
there's measures in there about drug pricing,

464
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,039
like keeping the insolent down. But
also, and this is something Big Farmer

465
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:53,319
doesn't want allow Medicare to negotiate for
drug prices. But I want to say

466
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:58,400
one thing about participating, as far
as participating with protect our care, here's

467
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,519
what I see. They're trying to
promote traditional healthcare, traditional medicare. I

468
00:34:01,519 --> 00:34:06,599
should say, I'm looking for any
avenue that wants to say put it out

469
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:09,559
there to warn people not to get
on a Medicare advantaged plan. That is

470
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,440
right. One of my biggest absolute
goals personally for me, not one of

471
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,320
the organizations, just me personally is
to not have anybody else end up like

472
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,559
I am, on a Medicare advantaged
plan that doesn't give them the care that

473
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:25,599
they need, that denies coverage,
that delays care and could cost you or

474
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:29,880
your loved one a life, and
that you can't get out of, which

475
00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:34,159
that should be illegal. And so
here's the thing, I can switch back

476
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,000
to traditional Medicare. So that's what
they're going to tell you. But here's

477
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:42,360
where where you get hung up getting
a metagap policy, which I don't think

478
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,679
we should need. Let me say
that I think you should Medicare should cover

479
00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:49,800
it, but we have to have
gap policies now. And in gap policies,

480
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,320
this is one place they can still
look at pre existing conditions. And

481
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,159
if you have a pre existing condition, they don't have to cover you for

482
00:34:57,159 --> 00:35:00,519
at least six months, and your
premiums are going to be through the roof

483
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:04,039
all because you have a pre existing
condition, which drives me crazy. That

484
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:07,519
is still allowed there. But that's
where these private, for profit insurance companies

485
00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:12,519
have gotten Congress to go along with
their crap, is allowing that, and

486
00:35:12,599 --> 00:35:16,039
it shouldn't be allowed. We say
no pre existing conditions, when, by

487
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:19,519
gosh, that's the way it should
be. You remember when you talk about

488
00:35:19,519 --> 00:35:22,960
pre existing conditions, if you have
a baby who's born with something, or

489
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,519
a kiddo, oh boy, I
gotta put this new kid on insurance.

490
00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:31,159
But they get a heart problem that
could count. It's pre existing that could

491
00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:35,400
count, and they're not going to
cover them. Maybe they don't cover anything.

492
00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:37,320
I mean, we got to get
rid of these insurance companies that are

493
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:43,000
taking our premiums and pocketing them for
their profit. Remember, folks, when

494
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,920
we did the video release on my
case, that was the exact same day

495
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:55,480
that United Healthcare was bragging bragging about
their eight billion dollars first quarter profits in

496
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,079
this year. That's three months.
In three months, they made eight billion

497
00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:04,079
dollars in profit. But they won't
pay six hundred dollars for an infusion,

498
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:07,360
or they won't pay for somebody's insulin, or they won't pay for somebody to

499
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:15,920
have recpite care or to go to
physical therapy. They they throw away the

500
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,559
bills, they tell the Oh my
god, Megan's father they said they wouldn't

501
00:36:19,559 --> 00:36:23,519
agree to him going to rehab for
physical therapy after he got sick because they

502
00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:28,639
didn't think he could survive, that
he could substantially he could. Uh sorry,

503
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,159
they didn't think he could handle the
rigors of the physical therapy. That's

504
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:35,920
why they denied him going there.
Yeah, they didn't think doctors don't matter,

505
00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:42,559
right, right, they didn't think. Yeah, And look, and

506
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:45,480
we should clarify again too, for
anyone who takes it wrong. You know,

507
00:36:45,559 --> 00:36:49,400
we have no problem with a company
making lots and lots of money.

508
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,280
I mean, we're capitalists, but
uh, you know, but good point.

509
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,280
But this is uh, you know, I think capitalists this is morality

510
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:05,280
and ethics and humanity stealing talking about
here and kinder. Well, I'm just

511
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,360
saying though, you know, making
money and profits is great, but you

512
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,760
know this isn't you know. I
think healthcare is a human right, and

513
00:37:15,199 --> 00:37:17,960
I know some people think that's cliche. I believe it, and again there's

514
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,280
no excuse for it not to be. There are countries with much smaller GDPs

515
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,920
than the United States. In other
words, which is really just a way

516
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,079
of saying countries that are not nearly
as wealthy as we are who have socialized

517
00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:36,239
medicine and they wow, imagine this. They also have longer life expectancies and

518
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,039
generally healthier populations and so forth.
So there's no excuse for us not to

519
00:37:40,039 --> 00:37:45,039
be able to have something like that
here. And we can. But but

520
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:50,360
you know, the healthcare the health
insurance company lobby, I mean, they're

521
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,760
very powerful in Washington, which is
really the real reason that we don't.

522
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,199
I don't know if my buddy in
the Netherlands would still be alive today if

523
00:37:57,199 --> 00:38:01,079
he was under the American healthcare system
and not the Netherlands, where whatever care

524
00:38:01,119 --> 00:38:06,960
he needs he gets, whatever medicines
the doctor's order he gets, and there's

525
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,320
there's no must, no faucet's just
it is what it is. The doctor

526
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,760
says you need X, you get
X. Right. They they they've gone

527
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:19,159
to extraordinary measures to not only prolong
his life but fight his stage four cancer,

528
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,639
and he's done remarkable. I mean, they even put a drain in

529
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:27,480
his lung and Pete's staff comes to
the house to take care of it.

530
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,039
The doctor came to the house.
The doctor they're not wasting their time with

531
00:38:32,119 --> 00:38:37,519
paperwork and forms and filling out appeals
and begging somebody spending two hours on the

532
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:43,679
phone trying to get a patient into
a into a rehab or something. They

533
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,840
actually get to take care of their
patients, and they document on their patients,

534
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:52,559
not to insurance company craziness. It's
such a it's such a it had.

535
00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:54,920
It made a very strong impression on
me. I'll tell you that,

536
00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:59,960
especially after I got to access it. Scott Robinson in the chat said,

537
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,480
the whole thing is really discussing these
insurance companies. It's out of control.

538
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,199
Alex Whiteley says, are there no
concessions for disability in the US? No,

539
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:12,679
Well I am. I am a
disabled American actually, Alex, good

540
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,239
question. Unfortunately, my cancer didn't
allow me to go back to work,

541
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:20,960
so I pay into an I paid
in my whole life since I was like

542
00:39:21,039 --> 00:39:24,679
thirteen. Was my first job to
have what they call so security insurance,

543
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,440
so in disability insurance. So I
am utilizing my disability insurance. But as

544
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:36,719
far as my healthcare is concerned,
I did not get on traditional Medicare,

545
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,039
which would have been the nationwide policy. I ended up on a Medicare advantage

546
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:45,639
plan, which is run by a
private for profit insurance company called United Healthcare.

547
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:52,320
Actually, I think their full name
is AARP Medicare Advantage United Healthcare Wall

548
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,599
Greens, I think is the full
name of my insurance. Oh PPO number

549
00:39:57,639 --> 00:40:00,320
one, I think that's the the
full name of it. Least that's the

550
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,800
number, the name at the letter
head that they sent a Senator Housin's office

551
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:12,000
to say, yes, we got
your letter. I lost my train of

552
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:17,280
thoughts. These insurance companies suck up
your your premiums, everybody's premiums. Now

553
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,119
they're supposed to pay out those claims
for you. That's the deal you got

554
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:23,920
right, plus of what happens.
So you're paying your premiums, you're paying

555
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,480
your copays. Then they won't cover
you, Like they don't cover my infusion,

556
00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:30,400
so I pay one hundred percent of
that, and there's medications that won't

557
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:34,400
cover. So what are you doing. You're using good RX so you can

558
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,760
get it cheaper. So not only
is your money not counting to you deductible,

559
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,840
you're in now having to go to
a whatever fifth pharmacy to get a

560
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,320
medicine at a decent price with a
coupon because you can't use your insurance at

561
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,960
the pharmacy. I can't use the
insurance at Walgreens, whose name is on

562
00:40:52,079 --> 00:40:57,239
the moniker. It's too expensive.
I need good RX at a Handifford's grocery

563
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,239
store to afford that one particular medication. And they keep us so poor.

564
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:07,280
And we're medically poor in this country. We're paying everything just to stay alive.

565
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:13,679
Literally, I personally am doing that. That's that's my life. Pay

566
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:17,480
for medical care, pay for medications, pay the rent, pay the utilities,

567
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:22,320
and he's what you got for food. That's my I am medically poor

568
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,719
in my country, even though I've
paid in and had multiple jobs. I

569
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,800
mean I had two and three jobs
at a time sometimes, And yeah,

570
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:36,119
that's that's life here in America.
We have a call. Shannon is on

571
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:38,920
the line. Hi, Shanna,
Hello, Hello, Ni, Hi,

572
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:44,239
congratulations. I mean, I don't
I wish I could give you a hug.

573
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,880
I'm good, I'm good. But
what was it gonna say when you

574
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:54,000
mentioned that the changing the manufacture?
Did you say manufacturer of the prescriptions?

575
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,559
I said that the manufacturer of my
one of my prescriptions doesn't make it.

576
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:05,119
Talking about that that they don't make
it anymore? Something yeah, because what

577
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,920
happens is when you, in my
humble opinion, sometimes I get a cheaper

578
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:19,000
manufacturer and I can tell that what
medicine should be there isn't. It's to

579
00:42:19,079 --> 00:42:22,719
me, it's not only cheaper.
What all the components of the pill.

580
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:29,000
Oh you're comparing enetic isn't there?
I don't know about that one. I

581
00:42:29,039 --> 00:42:32,320
mean honestly, for myself, some
of my meds are generic summer name brand

582
00:42:32,639 --> 00:42:37,559
depends on what it is. I
haven't had any issues with that myself.

583
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,559
Yeah, but I know that some
people are very sensitive to like the fillers

584
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:45,880
they use. I know my Lotos, NILT track Zone that's compounded. Some

585
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:51,519
patients have to go through different components
that they make the capsule with to find

586
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:53,639
one that works for them because some
people have reactions to what they call the

587
00:42:53,679 --> 00:42:58,199
filler. I've been lucky to not
have that happen, But I think that's

588
00:42:58,199 --> 00:43:01,519
what you're talking about. Well,
yes and no, because I mean,

589
00:43:02,199 --> 00:43:07,239
um, I've suffered from migraines for
thirty one years, thirty two years now,

590
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:15,199
and I think when Mtrux came out, I was happier than it could

591
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:21,639
be because that worked. Um,
the generic Now assume we're tripped in and

592
00:43:21,679 --> 00:43:25,639
you get nine pills per um.
They're in a blister pack. Get nine

593
00:43:25,679 --> 00:43:34,880
pills per box yepensive at least two, if not more. Don't have the

594
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,719
same medicine as the other ones.
Because I can feel it worked. That

595
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:43,920
would be something to talk to your
doctor about and your pharmacist if you're I

596
00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:47,119
have talked to the pharmacists. That's
why I said you. Sometimes they say,

597
00:43:47,159 --> 00:43:51,719
hey, what manufacturer you have there
for me? Change it to something

598
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,639
else, please? Yeah, that's
a that's an area I'm not too sure

599
00:43:55,719 --> 00:44:01,840
on. Yeah, but and I'm
just it's a PSA too. You know,

600
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:07,480
if something doesn't seem to be working, there are different manufacturers also,

601
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:12,320
you know what I mean. Sometimes
Yeah, sometimes I'm glad. It was

602
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,079
nice to hear about your eye too. Yeah, and I understand that your

603
00:44:16,119 --> 00:44:23,440
retina has healed. Ye closed,
because your retina is behind your eye towards

604
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:28,360
the back of your head, it's
closed. Would be so laughing out here

605
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,000
right now? Well, well,
when he kept saying that, don't say

606
00:44:31,039 --> 00:44:38,960
that because your eyes so and no
I had right now? Or did that

607
00:44:39,079 --> 00:44:45,679
hurt? Oh? No, because
you hear people that get lay six.

608
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,239
Oh it's no problem. Yeah,
because that's part it's in front of your

609
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,760
eye. This is in the back
of your eye, right right, a

610
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,119
little bit more. But anyway,
UM, I just wanted to say,

611
00:44:55,480 --> 00:45:00,119
I don't know, I'm proud of
you. Thank you. That names anything

612
00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:04,880
for me to say that, it
does. It absolutely does. Think we

613
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,239
appreciate it. Channel, I really
do. All right, you take care

614
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:12,000
and keep up the fight. And
you know, if there's something I can

615
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:14,440
do, let me know. I
mean, I'm great on the phone,

616
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:19,559
and that's a that's a great place
to start. Call call your representative,

617
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:21,760
speak to what you can speak to
one of the staff members. They will

618
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,719
take a note. You can write
them a letter, send it an email.

619
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,760
You can write them an old fashioned
letter and send it into their office,

620
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,440
you know, an envelope. You
know what happened to me Once I

621
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:36,639
wrote an old fashioned let ink and
paper. I brought it to the courthouse.

622
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,360
I wanted a judge to read it. They would not accept it.

623
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,000
They would not give it to her. I don't know, I'm not allowed

624
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,400
handwritten letters. I'm talking about the
critters we vote for. Well, you

625
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,079
see, I know, but I
just thought it was interesting that a judge

626
00:45:52,119 --> 00:45:58,760
can't receive it and read a letter. I don't know, but yeah,

627
00:45:58,519 --> 00:46:02,760
I M. Well, you know, if you could, I don't know,

628
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,320
get my number from me there and
well to down. Take three minutes

629
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:14,159
to let me write down some phone
numbers, general places to call, people

630
00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:19,320
to call. All right, they
don't have email. That's you, all

631
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,599
right, very good, all right, all right, thank you, bye

632
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:25,320
bye. All right. That was
our friend Shannon. Always nice to hear

633
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,000
from her. Before we run out
of time, I want to address what

634
00:46:29,159 --> 00:46:32,199
Ronda wrote. Rhonda shared in the
chat room a little off subject. But

635
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,800
I pay fifteen hundred dollars a month
for three of my meds. Due to

636
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,360
shortages of the manufactured version, I'm
forced to get them compounded. And that's

637
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,880
something that's happening a lot lately.
And you know what one of the big

638
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,679
culprits of that is the companies that
manufacture these meds do not want to have

639
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,360
to spend money store them, so
they try to do lean manufacturing where they're

640
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:57,400
producing what they think is needed.
So when shortages happen, it's because there

641
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,400
isn't enough. There literally isn't enough. They're not making enough to store it.

642
00:47:00,519 --> 00:47:04,320
Like we shouldn't run out of time
at all in the middle of winter

643
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,239
when kiddos have RSV. But we
did because these companies don't want to have

644
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,079
to pay to store the product.
Right. They're cheap. They're trying to

645
00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:15,920
nickel and dime you for everything that
they can squeeze out of you. And

646
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,159
the only way that's going to change
is if we make them right right,

647
00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:23,039
because asking them doesn't mean anything.
That's for sure. All right, we

648
00:47:23,159 --> 00:47:27,119
got to get to a break.
We're gonna show some love to our amazing

649
00:47:27,159 --> 00:47:30,599
sponsors, and then we're gonna play
a song from hip hop artist Ka Daver,

650
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,599
who is our musical guest today,
and he's gonna be with us either

651
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:37,639
via Skype or on the phone when
we come back. So there's plenty more

trance. Every time I think I'm
minded, I go back from the chance

676
00:50:25,039 --> 00:50:29,599
kid, just a hitting. I
can't quit it, no matter how many

677

times I try to go SOLDI show

678
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:37,800
heartstruck when I hands it, playing
like I'm not a dash but I'm missing.

679
00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:42,679
Everything was lovey dovey until you started
speaking ill worst sist y'all a week,

680
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,079
so I just need to chill.
Nothing tells good enough, claiming number

681

pleasant issue. Yeah that's maybe true. We're treated you like Heaving said.

682
00:50:50,159 --> 00:50:52,599
Now you're slamming meet worse than he
sat his kid. Because the words are

683
00:50:52,679 --> 00:50:57,920
without meaning. I don't answer them
but from perfect but perfect what we with

684
00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:00,039

to jealous to We're going with the something

be honest, he's looking pretty said you

688
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,440
wanted chaining all the comments. I
have a little self respect. Need to

689
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,679
put yourself in check. Just because
you're hurting meat, it doesn't make you

690
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:45,960
better. Bet you'll never find the
total package, like a bustude stocking up

00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:12,000

724
00:55:12,039 --> 00:55:15,760

Can't find out because I hate myself more

726
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,480

out my front with a smile because I'm

727
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,880

00:56:49,039 --> 00:56:51,719
is on the phone, at least
I hope this is him, Kate Aver,

741
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:57,159
Is that you? Oh? I
think he might have hung up.

742
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:01,360
I don't hear it. I don't
hear anything. H Well, hopefully he

743
00:57:01,519 --> 00:57:07,280
tries back. He actually messaged me. I tried calling. I don't think

744
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,719
he realized that. When he picked
up, it went on hold, oh

745
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:15,519
okay radio Yeah yeah, Oops,
we'll have to callback. And I owe

746
00:57:15,559 --> 00:57:19,760
this guy like a huge apology anyway, because I messed up and wrote him

747
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,000
down in the book twice, yeah, on two different dates, and I

748
00:57:23,039 --> 00:57:28,320
don't figure out which was right.
I think this is Bradley him, Kate

749
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:34,920
ever or is that you there?
There's that voice? Hey, my friend,

750
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,719
how are you? It's been been
a little while. I was saying

751
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:39,119
earlier, and I think I say
this every time you're on with us,

752
00:57:39,199 --> 00:57:46,199
that I believe you hold the record
for most interviewed musician by me. I

753
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,960
don't think I've interviewed anyone else as
many times as I've interviewed you over the

754
00:57:51,039 --> 00:57:58,239
years. Yeah, that's because artists
don't actually put in work, shade of

755
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,239
the world. There you go,
there you go, the expect somebody else

756
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,920
to do the work for him.
But nah, Man, in all seriousness,

757
00:58:04,119 --> 00:58:07,320
I want to thank you for having
me on. I don't actually have

758
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,199
the number, if I would guess
probably we're in the double digits at this

759
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:13,920
point. So I appreciate everything over
the years. Man. Oh yeah,

760
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,039
you got it. Man. Yeah, we're definitely in a double digits,

761
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:22,639
no doubt about that. That track
another day, Is that new? No,

762
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:28,199
it's it's not new, But um
I sent that over because that video

763
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:34,000
drops tomorrow. In my opinion,
it's one of I think my whole catalog

764
00:58:34,039 --> 00:58:36,519
has slept on, but I think
it's one of my more slept on songs.

765
00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:40,239
So the company I just started up
about two months ago, it was

766
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:45,480
called Fourth Kind Films, and we
do all video work I've done. For

767
00:58:45,559 --> 00:58:49,719
instance, I have a I did
a meet and greet video recap with Mick

768
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,119
Foley that dropped I think a week
ago. Oh wow. So we do

769
00:58:53,239 --> 00:58:57,679
meet and greet recaps, we do
birthday recaps, wedding recaps, we do

770
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:01,920
music videos. I do commercial that
It is a commercial for Hooked Clothing Gear,

771
00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:07,239
which is a fish fishing company that
produces clothing gear. UM, not

772
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,360
gonna say it because it's not official, but I'm doing another pretty large commercial

773
00:59:10,519 --> 00:59:17,800
that will be airing locally in the
Claremont webinon this Upper Valley region is gonna

774
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:21,440
be on the commerce It's gonna be
on television here as well. It's obviously

775
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,719
all over their socials and YouTube and
stuff like that. So we um.

776
00:59:24,679 --> 00:59:28,679
You know, the company we produce, we produce video content of all sorts.

777
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,679
So the reason I sat that song, just to backtrack a little bit,

778
00:59:30,719 --> 00:59:36,559
I thought it was this episode.
So it's a cinematic video. It's

779
00:59:36,599 --> 00:59:39,039
obviously a rap song, so you
know it's in the format of a rap

780
00:59:39,239 --> 00:59:44,920
video. But we went pure cinematic
on this. I shot this down at

781
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,800
Trill Studios. Shout out to Trills
Bliss, who worked the camera for the

782
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,559
video. We directed it, though
edited it, color graded, color grading.

783
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:59,679
I think color grading is our core
competency, and I think we not

784
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:01,679
the be killing anyone because there's a
lot of a lot of talented people,

785
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:07,000
but I think we definitely excel in
that category. So long waited way of

786
01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:10,280
saying it, but yeah, by
the way, John Heissel in the Facebook

787
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:15,239
live chat says, I told Ka
Daver before he started to do tours,

788
01:00:15,679 --> 01:00:20,840
never leave the stage wondering what if. It's good advice. Yeah, I

789
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,440
said out to John Man. He's
a he's a good guy. He's got

790
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:29,400
a lot of stories, he's very
knowledgeable. And you know, probably like

791
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,440
five six years ago at disappoint I
mean I forget many days from it was

792
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:37,559
probably five six I was working a
job and he said something along I'm gonna

793
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:39,719
butcher it, but he said something
along the lines of, you know,

794
01:00:40,599 --> 01:00:44,199
you're too talented to be doing this. I got faith in you. Da

795
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:47,360
da da da. And you know, since then, you know, like

796
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:51,719
he said, never wonder what if. Between his saying of never wonder what

797
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:53,079
if and just the saying of leaves
it all in the field, I think

798
01:00:53,079 --> 01:00:58,079
that's basically my monster my entire career. So you know, we talked about

799
01:00:58,119 --> 01:01:01,719
earlier about doing multiple so many radio
interviews, but it's like he does never

800
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,679
know who's listening or who's watching.
So, yeah, we've done let's just

801
01:01:05,719 --> 01:01:07,400
say eleven. Well, let's do
it. Well, let's make it who's

802
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,679
listening today, you know what I
mean. So I never want to leave

803
01:01:10,679 --> 01:01:14,599
anything on the field, and I
never want to wonder what is So let's

804
01:01:14,639 --> 01:01:16,840
just let's just keep working. In
the words of Matt Connerton, everyone be

805
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:22,280
a rock star if it was easy, good memory, That is right?

806
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,199
I did. I did say that. Yeah, So U has the music

807
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:30,280
kind of gone on the back burner
at this point or are you just kind

808
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:36,679
of doing everything at once? Everything
at one? So I've dropped three songs,

809
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,679
let's see, I'm trying to think. I think memore. There's a

810
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:44,559
Memorial Days at May. Oh yes, yes, end of May. Yeah.

811
01:01:44,679 --> 01:01:46,440
Yeah. So I dropped a song
right before Memorial Day, and I've

812
01:01:46,519 --> 01:01:51,880
dropped two since my latest one coming
July fourth. So I'm still releasing music.

813
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:55,159
I'm just a little more peculiar,
a little more peculiar. I'm a

814
01:01:55,159 --> 01:01:59,599
little more particular with who I work
with at this stage. I'm a little

815
01:01:59,599 --> 01:02:01,440
more particular with when I do shows. I'm a little month, like you

816
01:02:01,519 --> 01:02:06,199
know, my body. You know, I ain't no spring Chicken anymore.

817
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:12,119
So I'm not a huge fan of
the grind of thirty five shows, you

818
01:02:12,199 --> 01:02:15,280
know what I mean. So definitely
a little more particular with how I tour,

819
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:20,039
how I perform, and you know
what lights I get seen in.

820
01:02:20,119 --> 01:02:22,920
You know, you asked me ten
years ago, I would have taken any

821
01:02:22,039 --> 01:02:24,199
offer. Oh you got one hundred
and twenty bucks. Let's good. Now

822
01:02:24,239 --> 01:02:28,159
I'm a little more particular. You
know, not to say moneys everything,

823
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,760
but money is something, especially when
you're if I'm gonna be crammed in a

824
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,920
car or let's just say nine hours
of driving, it's got to be a

825
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,800
little worth it at the end of
the road, you know what I mean.

826
01:02:37,039 --> 01:02:39,800
Oh, absolutely well, attitude's about
tour and have changed too, because

827
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:44,800
it's it's so much more expensive now
to tour. It's really interesting to see,

828
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:49,039
how you know, there's some some
pretty big, big name acts out

829
01:02:49,079 --> 01:02:52,199
there who have decided to either do
very short tours or just to festivals,

830
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:58,079
or not tour at all at least
in the short run. And then I've

831
01:02:58,199 --> 01:03:04,039
noticed too, you know, It's
it's interesting how the different musicians that I

832
01:03:04,119 --> 01:03:07,320
talked to on the show I've had. I've had some artists tell me,

833
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,599
yeah, I'm just I'm not doing
a whole lot of touring, even though

834
01:03:09,639 --> 01:03:14,760
everything's open back up post pandemic and
whatnot. I'm being really selective about what

835
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:16,960
I do, you know. And
then there's other like we had a bandon

836
01:03:17,079 --> 01:03:21,559
recently, Wired for Sound, and
they're just they're playing every weekend and they're

837
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:25,559
they're doing as many shows as they
can. But attitudes about that have changed.

838
01:03:25,719 --> 01:03:28,800
But I think a lot of it
too has to do with, you

839
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,519
know, social media, and you're
playing live shows, You're you're competing with

840
01:03:32,719 --> 01:03:36,760
so much, and you're competing with
more and more all the time. Now

841
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,159
you're not just competing with other somebody
else's live shows somewhere when you go out

842
01:03:39,239 --> 01:03:45,000
and play, but you're competing with
somebody's Twitch stream, you're competing with somebody's

843
01:03:45,079 --> 01:03:49,000
YouTube channel, you know. So
it's um so I think a lot of

844
01:03:49,079 --> 01:03:52,800
artists have kind of taken us interrupt
you you're competing with someone's mortgage payment.

845
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:58,159
I'm not one of these hysterical people
that screams inflation, screams up, but

846
01:03:58,199 --> 01:04:00,159
there is a reality this scenario.
I mean, I go to the store

847
01:04:00,239 --> 01:04:03,679
now and spend one hundred and forty
dollars on groceries, and I just wonder

848
01:04:03,719 --> 01:04:06,760
what the hell I bought because it
doesn't look like a one hundred and forty

849
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,559
dollars for the groceries, you know
what I mean, you're competing with somebody's

850
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,239
you know, diapers for their child, and so I don't know, it

851
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:17,760
is what it is. But the
reality, at least from my vantage point,

852
01:04:18,239 --> 01:04:23,840
there's some big artists without even putting
them on blast, but there's large

853
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,760
artists with much more funding than I
have that are canceling tours and they're canceling

854
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,679
many stops of their tours or low
ticket sales. So the way I see

855
01:04:31,679 --> 01:04:35,920
it, twenty twenty one, things
started opening again, it was like whoof,

856
01:04:36,559 --> 01:04:40,599
And if you want my honest opinion, from what I see, it

857
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:46,199
dissipated fairly quickly as of maybe not
a full calendar year, but pretty close.

858
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,679
People are like, oh well,
kind of like what you said with

859
01:04:51,119 --> 01:04:56,519
switch Streams in this and more between
the inflation that is real in between everything

860
01:04:56,599 --> 01:05:00,719
else. It's like, I know
myself, I pay for Netflix. Yeah,

861
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,960
I already have Netflix. Why do
I need to go out and do

862
01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:06,000
fifty different things. I'm kind of
a homebody now, so that's just me,

863
01:05:08,239 --> 01:05:09,679
you know what I mean. Why
do I need to go out and

864
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,639
drop You gotta drop eighty dollars at
the bar? You do this? You

865
01:05:12,679 --> 01:05:15,480
know, it's a little bit of
a crazy time right now. Yeah,

866
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,880
it's Uh. Charles Richardson is in
the chat room. He's in Florida.

867
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,719
He says, ninety eight Degrees had
to cancel a show down here for low

868
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:30,840
sales. See, I didn't even
know they were still around. Um,

869
01:05:30,159 --> 01:05:32,920
all right, but you're also talking
about a band that's had millions of dollars

870
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,920
over the last twenty plus years,
you know, backing the name and even

871
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,639
they had the kids. So I
don't know what. I don't know if

872
01:05:38,639 --> 01:05:40,719
they were playing themselves out what I
mean. But I don't know if they

873
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,199
tried twenty thousand percent venue or if
they were two thousand. I don't know,

874
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,880
right right, I think maybe Taylor
Swift just took it all and there's

875
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:53,440
just nothing. There's just nothing left
over, um as far as the big

876
01:05:53,519 --> 01:05:57,880
tours and everything, there's just nothing
left. UM as far as now,

877
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,239
how many um, how many music
videos have you when you do these videos

878
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:08,239
obviously, you know your own production
company did this, this new video for

879
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:13,639
Another Day, you said that comes
out tomorrow. Correct. How many of

880
01:06:13,719 --> 01:06:17,000
those have you done? Where?
Because early in your career, I assume

881
01:06:17,039 --> 01:06:19,599
you didn't do all those yourself,
right, or maybe you did. Maybe

882
01:06:19,639 --> 01:06:25,719
that's how you got started doing videos. I don't know. Yeah, I

883
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:30,599
mean I first started doing videos just
a necessity years ago because we didn't have

884
01:06:30,679 --> 01:06:32,079
a budget, you know what I
mean. Yeah, I think I scraped

885
01:06:32,119 --> 01:06:38,639
together like four hundred dollars for cannon
sixty D and a couple of lenses or

886
01:06:38,679 --> 01:06:43,880
whatnot. So like America, when
you've had enough, bring the pain.

887
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,880
I mean, I don't know.
I don't list goes on. We did

888
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,559
all those in house. That's how
I got acclimated with shooting videos, okay,

889
01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:53,360
and then from there and then from
there, I worked with people like

890
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,239
shout out to Sando Films. Scott, he's a he's a homie of mind.

891
01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:59,960
Me and him. We don't talk
daily, but we definitely talked multi

892
01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:02,800
times a week. I consider us
colleagues at this point. Don't know if

893
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:06,960
that's the right term, but you
know, worked with him, work for

894
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:13,239
wax Hug, works with Traill,
for instance, And yeah, so I

895
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,360
would always ask questions though, So
I wasn't like one of those people just

896
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,519
show so I would like I would
learn. So because I had I started

897
01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:24,239
hands on, I knew what I
was looking for. I wasn't asking in

898
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,679
the sense if I got to make
sure you have an X amount of dollar

899
01:07:26,719 --> 01:07:30,800
camera and I'm asking how because I'm
always hands on all my videos. Yeah,

900
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:32,840
whether somebody else shot it or not, I've always been hands all the

901
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,639
videos. So I need to know
what frame rates their camera does. I

902
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:40,239
need to know you know what I'm
working with to a degree, you know

903
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:45,480
what I mean. So I've always
liked film, and even though you know,

904
01:07:45,559 --> 01:07:47,599
there was a few years there where
I didn't work on it hands on,

905
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,519
I've always had vision for it.
I always had what I just the

906
01:07:51,639 --> 01:07:55,760
aptitude of the understanding I've always been
keeping. I've been keeping up with it

907
01:07:55,920 --> 01:08:00,280
so recently this year. Kind of
a weird story anyway, but I was

908
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,599
like, I think this is the
direction I want to go full forward with

909
01:08:02,679 --> 01:08:06,360
my life. And I was on
the fence. So even though I just

910
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,760
said that, yeah, I was
in the jungles of Mexico and I ended

911
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,960
up talking to this kid, and
he told me that he works for a

912
01:08:14,079 --> 01:08:16,319
camera store in New Jersey. And
that camera store in New Jersey is in

913
01:08:16,399 --> 01:08:21,600
the town which I somewhat frequent and
I was there, like, you know,

914
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:26,039
Particippani, New Jersey. I was
there probably four times this year,

915
01:08:26,239 --> 01:08:28,159
and he happened to be there.
And I'm in the jungles of Mexico.

916
01:08:28,199 --> 01:08:30,520
So I don't believe in a traditional
guy per se, but I do believe

917
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,039
in the universe telling you something.
I'm in the jungles of Mexico and this

918
01:08:33,119 --> 01:08:35,359
kid's telling me you can hook me
up with year. It's like, woof,

919
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:40,520
okay, well here we are.
So I put the right for a

920
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:45,760
forward. I have a had a
three month I have a three month plan,

921
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:46,920
a six months plan. I have
a three year plan, a five

922
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,319
year plan. Obviously, the further
you get out of the trajectory, you

923
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:55,760
might have to adjust. But the
three months so far, we're getting work

924
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:00,560
pretty consistently, so much so to
the point where I gotta like move some

925
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,760
stuff around to get everything done,
you know, in a good way.

926
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:04,920
Yeah, yeah, you know what
I mean. But like so you know,

927
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:06,960
it's just like it's just one of
those things. This isn't. This

928
01:09:08,159 --> 01:09:12,720
isn't Walmart to where like you know, you're open twelve hours or I guess

929
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,439
what I'm trying to say is like
it's not like a consistent like oh,

930
01:09:16,079 --> 01:09:18,880
you know, two videos every week. Like I went two weeks ago I

931
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:24,600
had no video shot, and then
last week we shot seven. So it's

932
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,560
like, you know, it's like
you had to get a stay moving.

933
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,880
You shot seven in one week.
That sounds like I might have actually been

934
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,880
more. Yeah, with seven shot
in a week. Yeah, that's right.

935
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,039
We had eight schedules and then one
one back thought, so we had

936
01:09:40,119 --> 01:09:44,000
seven video shot. We had to
make fully recap, make fully meet and

937
01:09:44,039 --> 01:09:45,640
great shout out to him, shout
out to one last lace in Claremont,

938
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,840
new Hamshire having us out there to
do that video. Nice guy, awesome

939
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:54,119
guy. Then we did birthday recaps. I think we shot four music videos.

940
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:59,239
We had a commercial. Yes,
it's been it's been busy man.

941
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,399
Yeah, that sounds it. Uh, this might be a little bit of

942
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:08,119
a tangent, but obviously I have
to ask you're in the jungle in Mexico.

943
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,800
Yeah, so I mean maybe I
made that sound a little more action

944
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:19,359
adventure than I need to know.
You ever, are you familiar with the

945
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:26,520
Chechinese pyramids? Not really, No, the Mayans and oh yeah, yeah,

946
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:30,560
of course. Anyway, very interesting. Uh it is literally the jungles

947
01:10:30,560 --> 01:10:34,079
of Mexico. You know, it's
a little touristy because it's like, but

948
01:10:34,359 --> 01:10:39,199
it's way out there anyway, it's
not like some you gotta go quite a

949
01:10:39,239 --> 01:10:42,439
bit of travel to get there.
So I'm a pretty I'm a pretty big

950
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,279
fan of history as well. It's
just like the interesting how they made those

951
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,359
how they made those structures. So
I'm gonna butcher this for this, Um,

952
01:10:50,039 --> 01:10:56,560
I'm gonna butcher this. But where
they where they played their games in

953
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,680
front of the government back then.
If you stand in the middle and clap,

954
01:11:00,239 --> 01:11:03,199
there is it's made of lime,
I believe. If you stand in

955
01:11:03,239 --> 01:11:08,159
the middle and clap, there are
six echoes to the right and seven to

956
01:11:08,239 --> 01:11:12,760
the left. And because it's six
to the right, the reason it's six

957
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:16,159
to seven is because it was seven
verse seven. But then the winner and

958
01:11:16,319 --> 01:11:19,199
yeah, I know it sounds funny
for people in America twenty twenty three,

959
01:11:19,199 --> 01:11:23,279
but the winner, the captain of
the winning team got beheaded or killed.

960
01:11:23,319 --> 01:11:27,279
However, at the end of the
game, so that's why it's a total

961
01:11:27,359 --> 01:11:31,399
of thirteen not fourteen, is because
they were basically honoring the person that died.

962
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:36,279
So I'm into that stuff. Yeah. Oh how long were you?

963
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:42,640
How long were you there the pyramids
themselves? Was there a day? It

964
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,239
was in Mexico for a week.
Oh you're there for a week? Yeah?

965
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,039
Wow? Was that your first?
Was that your first trip there?

966
01:11:47,119 --> 01:11:49,800
Or have you? Have? You
got there multiple times? Because there's something

967
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,279
there is something familiar about this.
I think we might have talked about this

968
01:11:53,399 --> 01:11:56,720
before. I'm not sure. I
mean, I travel a lot, but

969
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:59,279
as far as there, that's the
first time I've been there. Oh okay,

970
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,359
gotcha, gotcha? Did you play
any shows there or were you just

971
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:06,359
there to travel? No? I
was just there to travel, man.

972
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:12,520
M I traveled so much in my
twenties for music. I saw so many

973
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,680
things that I wouldn't have seen otherwise, and I'm grateful for that. Yeah.

974
01:12:15,199 --> 01:12:19,359
So, for instance, in July, I'm trying to think last week

975
01:12:19,399 --> 01:12:23,319
of June, the end of June
into July, I was on the West

976
01:12:23,359 --> 01:12:28,920
coast for two weeks, went to
the Grand Canyon with the Tahoe you know,

977
01:12:29,039 --> 01:12:30,079
in the same of time. I'll
just wrap it up with saying that

978
01:12:30,119 --> 01:12:33,680
I went to a lot of cool
stuff, but I just like traveling for

979
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:39,880
leisure right now. Personally, Yeah, so no, that's cool. That's

980
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:44,520
cool. Um So, uh,
what is your in terms of doing videos?

981
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,000
I mean, is there is there
something you you enjoy more than anything

982
01:12:47,039 --> 01:12:49,520
else? I mean, obviously you
know you do you can do commercials,

983
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:53,760
and you know this and that.
But are the music videos the kind of

984
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:58,479
the most rewarding thing that you do
or or is there is there anything particular

985
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:05,359
that you really enjoy most about doing
these videos? Color grading? So what's

986
01:13:05,399 --> 01:13:12,840
that color grading? Color grading?
Explain? Yeah, so when you watch

987
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,439
a movie, it's color graded.
It doesn't come out of the camera like

988
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:20,399
that. Ye. So you know, I mean doing cool back and forth

989
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:29,000
and interesting transitions and yeah, I
like telling stories, so personally, like

990
01:13:29,119 --> 01:13:31,960
when I get going, you know, I can, I can do many

991
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:36,640
things, but I really love doing
story videos. So for instance, I'm

992
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:42,800
I'm talking to somebody Thursday. Actually
I got a meeting Thursday to talk about

993
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,840
shooting and directing a short film.
So that interests me because I haven't done

994
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,880
a short film before. So if
we can actually tell a story within a

995
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,840
music video, that definitely is rewarding. But yeah, color grading interests me

996
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:58,000
and it really has my attention right
now because in my opinion, you know,

997
01:13:58,079 --> 01:14:01,119
this is just me. There's a
lot that goes into a video,

998
01:14:01,399 --> 01:14:08,399
angles cuts actions, is the person
on the camera actually conveying the emotion needed.

999
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,640
I mean there's a lot. So
but for me, if you don't

1000
01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:15,920
have proper color grade, you're already
at a deficit. So for me right

1001
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:17,800
now, color grading is like really
has my attention, and like it's kind

1002
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:21,600
of like an unsung here in my
opinion, because like this last so another

1003
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,359
day, for instance, I spent
eight hours just working on the color on

1004
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:29,279
that thing. Straight up, I'm
not I'm not gonna sit here and like

1005
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:30,720
blow smoke, like, oh I
got it done in two hours. I

1006
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:34,640
spent eight hours coloring that video.
Everything from the lights, everything from the

1007
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:40,279
keying to the to the highlights,
the midtone, everything, the skin,

1008
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:45,600
the how we portray it. Just
that's that's the way I can put it.

1009
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:47,439
Color grading is one of those things
unless you're talking to people who work

1010
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,960
on film, like most people don't
quite understand it. So I guess I'll

1011
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:57,159
just wrap up that without going too
far into the minutiae. Um, are

1012
01:14:57,239 --> 01:15:00,760
you surprised by the way or well, actually, let me asked the question

1013
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:05,079
this way. Do you run into
people who are surprised at that music videos

1014
01:15:05,119 --> 01:15:09,279
are still a thing? And if
the question sounds odd, I'll explain.

1015
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,479
There are some people, and I
think probably a lot of people from my

1016
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:19,680
generation and even some younger, who
have this misconception that music videos are no

1017
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:24,760
longer a thing, you know,
because MTV doesn't play music videos anymore and

1018
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:29,640
hasn't for probably a couple decades now. And so I find that I talk

1019
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:34,359
to people who just assume that there
are no music videos anymore. And sometimes

1020
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:38,439
people are surprised if I tell them, well, actually, if you go

1021
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:42,600
on YouTube music videos, there's really
more music videos than ever. In fact,

1022
01:15:43,239 --> 01:15:47,800
somebody like if it's a major successful
artist like Beyonce, for example.

1023
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,720
I remember at one point she put
out an album, I think it had

1024
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:57,239
twelve tracks on it, and every
single song had a video for it,

1025
01:15:57,439 --> 01:16:00,560
you know, and obviously they're on
YouTube. You know, empty V probably

1026
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,319
doesn't care or VH one, but
they're on YouTube, and you know,

1027
01:16:03,359 --> 01:16:06,840
and they get millions of plays and
whatnot. Do you ever run into run

1028
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,439
into that where people are are you
know, you're talking to somebody about doing

1029
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,880
a music video and they're like,
huh is that still a thing? Did

1030
01:16:13,159 --> 01:16:21,520
you ever run into that? My
girlfriend actually really still make videos like and

1031
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:26,159
she got me questioning because like,
sometimes I got to step out of my

1032
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:29,680
bubble, and I think most rappers, anybody in life needs to. I

1033
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:32,560
think rappers really need to step out
of their bubble because I think this rap

1034
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:38,039
bubble is a real thing. These
rappers rapping for rappers, trying to impress

1035
01:16:38,159 --> 01:16:42,920
rappers about their rapping to get support
from rappers. But rappers don't support rappers,

1036
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:45,520
right, It's so weird. They
just need he as a freaking bubble.

1037
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:48,000
But I said to say this.
She got me thinking because you know,

1038
01:16:48,199 --> 01:16:54,640
she's um, she's a normal person. That's the best way I can

1039
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:58,520
put it. She's not She's not
one way tho. She's a normal person.

1040
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,039
She sells insurance, sence third,
So she got me thinking. So

1041
01:17:01,079 --> 01:17:05,079
I started looking it up, and
I looked up Drake and he had a

1042
01:17:05,199 --> 01:17:09,199
video that was like two months old, and there was another artist things Postponed.

1043
01:17:09,239 --> 01:17:12,880
He had a video that was like
two months three months old. And

1044
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,319
I started looking up other rappers and
other artists rather than yeah, really me,

1045
01:17:16,399 --> 01:17:19,520
those are still a thing and there's
still there's there's still thrive, It's

1046
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:24,640
still still a thriving piece of the
pie. You know what I means?

1047
01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:30,039
Yeah, I think there I answer
you a question. Yeah, yeah,

1048
01:17:30,039 --> 01:17:33,760
it happened one time, but it's
only happened one time. Yeah. Does

1049
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:38,079
that pretty much answer what you're asking. Yeah. I just think it's interesting

1050
01:17:38,159 --> 01:17:42,479
people's perceptions about that because I run
into it and I think that I think

1051
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,960
part of it might be I think
there probably was a point where, you

1052
01:17:47,039 --> 01:17:53,039
know, maybe twenty years ago,
but like before, like when MTV had

1053
01:17:53,039 --> 01:17:56,000
pretty much Sorry Matt, this is
what I was trying to say, interrupt

1054
01:17:56,039 --> 01:17:59,119
you. What I was trying to
say is like, obviously I see music

1055
01:17:59,199 --> 01:18:02,800
videos because I'm in the space right
right like certain, but I was like,

1056
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,439
I'm looking for like movers and shakers, and what I mean by that

1057
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:11,239
is just what I said, Eminem
Drake, Yes, Malone, I forget

1058
01:18:11,279 --> 01:18:14,279
the other bands I looked up as
well, real movers and shakers. Yeah,

1059
01:18:14,279 --> 01:18:16,439
when they come into your town,
don't have an event that day,

1060
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,920
right, not talking about the people
who can do an event and then three

1061
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:25,159
shows are going on the same day, and everyone's competing for their little clicks.

1062
01:18:25,159 --> 01:18:28,119
I'm talking about real movers and shakers. Yeah. I stepped out of

1063
01:18:28,119 --> 01:18:30,560
my box to look at the real
movers and shakers and they were still doing

1064
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,000
them. So right, it's still
still going strong. Yeah, yeah,

1065
01:18:33,359 --> 01:18:35,680
No, I was just gonna say, I think there was a period between,

1066
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:44,159
like when MTV had pretty much stopped
entirely showing videos, but before YouTube

1067
01:18:44,279 --> 01:18:47,199
had really come to be so dominant
and prevalent. I think there was probably

1068
01:18:47,239 --> 01:18:51,000
a short space of time when people
weren't doing a lot of videos because without

1069
01:18:51,119 --> 01:18:56,560
MTV and vh one playing them,
or CMT Country Music Television, although apparently

1070
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,720
they still play them. I only
know that because of the recent Jason Aldean

1071
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:04,479
think but because of but I think
when when cable television basically stopped playing them

1072
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:09,159
for the most part, and YouTube
hadn't become so dominant yet. I think

1073
01:19:09,199 --> 01:19:13,479
in the early in the late nineties, early two thousands, there probably was

1074
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,520
a point where there really just weren't
a lot of videos being done. But

1075
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,840
then, of course, with the
emergence of YouTube. You know why not.

1076
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:24,800
By the way, Chris is in
the Facebook live chat from the band

1077
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:29,920
Edgewise. They have a really cool
video for a song called Revenge and very

1078
01:19:30,039 --> 01:19:33,319
very cool video. So um Alex
Whiteley, our friend from the UK and

1079
01:19:33,359 --> 01:19:36,800
the chat room, made a comment
an observation. He said, that's where

1080
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:42,800
YouTube came into play. A good
music video can change an artist's life.

1081
01:19:43,399 --> 01:19:46,319
Look at Little Dickie. His videos
are years old and he's now in the

1082
01:19:46,399 --> 01:19:50,560
forefront of hip hop. I haven't
kept up with him, but yeah,

1083
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:56,680
that's interesting. So he played the
game right, you know what I'm saying.

1084
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,880
And yeah, you know, I'll
always have allow have heart and music.

1085
01:20:00,159 --> 01:20:03,520
I always will. But my goals
go beyond just music videos. I

1086
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,319
always want to do music videos.
Can I enjoy doing them? Yeah?

1087
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:11,840
Um, I want to work in
film. Well that's my vision. Well,

1088
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,239
I was gonna I was gonna ask
you that is that the long term

1089
01:20:14,359 --> 01:20:23,439
goal to to director or produce a
probably direct right a feature film. Yeah?

1090
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,960
You know what, man, I
don't know if I have that specific

1091
01:20:26,039 --> 01:20:28,800
of a goal. I just want
to work in film. Yeah, whether

1092
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,159
that is just as a color grader, whether it's a DT director of photography,

1093
01:20:31,239 --> 01:20:34,239
whether it is that to direct the
feature film, whether that's just to

1094
01:20:34,319 --> 01:20:39,840
go to director for this or that, like just in the space. I've

1095
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,520
always been a man of many hats. So to just say I want to

1096
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,239
direct a feature film, I think
that's too specific. Like, yeah,

1097
01:20:45,239 --> 01:20:47,920
I'd love to direct a feature film, but yeah, like I want to

1098
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:50,600
do I want to do a lot, man, Like I want to see

1099
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:55,880
the reason, the reason I'm able
to do this, because I wasn't just

1100
01:20:56,119 --> 01:21:00,159
sitting there like, okay, shoot
my music video. Oh I don't new

1101
01:21:00,199 --> 01:21:01,960
ideas. No, I'm a man
of a million ideas, but in fact

1102
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:08,199
I got too many. That's why
I can't sleep at night. Yeah I

1103
01:21:08,359 --> 01:21:14,359
understand. Yeah, Um, Now
do you do you do you encounter people

1104
01:21:15,079 --> 01:21:17,439
who like, say, you're making
a music video for somebody. Do you

1105
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,399
encounter artists who remind you of you
in that way? Do you ever encounter

1106
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:26,880
anybody who asks a lot of questions
and they kind of have that thing where

1107
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:30,479
they want to learn because maybe they
want to start doing this too, or

1108
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:40,840
or do you run into really inquisitive
artists like that? As far as film

1109
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:44,960
that really not gonna lie, there
is an artist out this way, Deebo,

1110
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:49,279
why we've done a video for He's
very inquisitive. As far as like

1111
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:54,119
you know, that proverbial question of
what to do, how to make it

1112
01:21:55,119 --> 01:21:59,399
um. So he's very inquisitive as
far as like how to move within the

1113
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,000
game, but as far as like
people are inquisitive about mixing a song,

1114
01:22:02,239 --> 01:22:06,800
how to compress, when to add
the right amount of reverb, how to

1115
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:11,359
mix your ad libs, or how
to do videos or how to book tool

1116
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,600
you like? Not really, I
don't think. And if I'm forgetting somebody

1117
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,159
please forgive me. Yeah. Yeah, And have you have you worked primarily

1118
01:22:17,239 --> 01:22:20,359
with hip hop artists as far as
the music videos, or have you worked

1119
01:22:20,399 --> 01:22:24,800
with any bands or anything? Yeah? Yeah, So I did a video

1120
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:30,920
for this band Quincer songs called Mistakes. I think they're dropping it. Don't

1121
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,159
quote me on the date, but
they're dropping it later in August. So,

1122
01:22:34,239 --> 01:22:39,159
yeah, we've done a We've done
a metal video. I got several

1123
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,560
metal bands lining up for videos,
but as far as like one that we've

1124
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,479
shot, that's the only band so
far. I actually, no, I

1125
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,960
take that back. So it's the
only music video I've shot for a band.

1126
01:22:49,119 --> 01:22:55,359
But you know, shout out to
Clint pe Corps. I've done behind

1127
01:22:55,399 --> 01:23:00,600
the scenes promotional videos for him.
He's an acoustic artist. Out this way.

1128
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:06,479
Yeah, wait till three did a
promotional video for them acoustic artists,

1129
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:12,279
So you know we've done We've done
a lot of work with various artists and

1130
01:23:12,359 --> 01:23:15,520
varying degrees. Excellent, excellent.
And by the way, Jenny did share

1131
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,560
the link in the chat room for
fourth kind films. By the way,

1132
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,000
what does the h what does the
name mean? Where? Where does the

1133
01:23:21,279 --> 01:23:27,239
name come from? Well, I
mean fourth kind is basically, uh,

1134
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:34,079
basically a shape shifting shifting a fourth
kind for you know, so you had

1135
01:23:34,319 --> 01:23:40,880
contacts from the third kind or whatever. So fourth kind is basically being that

1136
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:45,520
can change shape and doesn't necessarily exist
on this plane of universe y. And

1137
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,079
I just feel like that's me.
I don't want to. I got friends

1138
01:23:48,119 --> 01:23:53,439
that are in the film space.
I got friends were in the digital creation

1139
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:57,479
space, and they're always quick to
take selfies with people and pictures with people

1140
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,359
and pictures off. I don't want
my ticture. I'll do it. Yeah,

1141
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:01,239
someone's like, hey, can I
get a figure? I'll do it,

1142
01:24:01,359 --> 01:24:03,840
But I don't want my face on
nothing. I want to be in

1143
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:06,840
the background, man, I want
you know. So I'm on this.

1144
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,279
I'm reading interview right now, it's
clearly who I am and he played my

1145
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,479
music. But long scale moving forward, like, I just want to be

1146
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:16,119
in the background, man, I
want my work to speak for itself.

1147
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:19,560
Yeah. I don't want my work
to be judged on any music I've ever

1148
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:27,479
done. You know, Oh interesting? Interesting? Um, why why is

1149
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,119
it? Because that's that's an interesting
shift really well actually, and you did

1150
01:24:30,239 --> 01:24:35,600
use that word shape shifter because obviously
as a rapper, you know you're and

1151
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,840
I've seen you live and you know
you're you're out front, and you're energetic,

1152
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:44,359
and you're you know, you're very
much visible, you know what I

1153
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:47,039
mean. So this is this is
really a pretty big change for you doing

1154
01:24:47,279 --> 01:24:50,239
doing what you're doing. Is is
there anything that you attribute that too?

1155
01:24:50,399 --> 01:24:56,039
Or is it just getting older and
evolving and just wanting to do different things.

1156
01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,199
I don't like people coming up to
me in public. Yeah that I

1157
01:25:00,319 --> 01:25:03,880
do know that about you. If
you're a fan of mine and you've done

1158
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,399
in the past, or if you
ever see me, feel free to do

1159
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:10,279
it. Yeah. When I say
I don't like it, it's not a

1160
01:25:10,399 --> 01:25:13,119
hatred. It's not a don't talk
to me because I think I'm better.

1161
01:25:13,279 --> 01:25:15,720
Yeah, Yeah, you know,
a lot of people mistaken my social awkwardness

1162
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:19,079
as ego. It's not ego.
I just I feel like if you don't

1163
01:25:19,079 --> 01:25:24,520
have something to say, don't say
it too often. We've talked about it

1164
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:28,279
before, Matt, we have.
We Yeah, this is talk absolutely makes

1165
01:25:28,319 --> 01:25:31,520
me uncomfortable. Yes, yeah,
I'm exactly. Yes, we have talked

1166
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,479
about this before. Yeah, because
I'm the same way. I was talking

1167
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:38,319
about this recently on the show with
somebody else too, because I'm very much

1168
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:43,119
I'm an introvert, you know,
I'm I'm I feel safest behind a microphone

1169
01:25:43,279 --> 01:25:45,239
or on a stage or you know, any kind of performance situation. But

1170
01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:50,960
yeah, I'm very awkward in person
unless there although having the radio show has

1171
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:56,079
been a huge advantage in that way, because now if somebody I don't know

1172
01:25:56,319 --> 01:25:59,520
does strike up a conversation with me, but they know me from the radio

1173
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,119
show, we kind of have a
jumping off point to have a conversation.

1174
01:26:02,279 --> 01:26:06,840
But yeah, like just like a
random conversation with a stranger, And like

1175
01:26:08,039 --> 01:26:11,199
you said, it's not you know, it's not like something anti social or

1176
01:26:11,199 --> 01:26:14,960
anything. It's just awkward. Like
I feel awkward in those moments, you

1177
01:26:15,079 --> 01:26:17,920
know, like if somebody said the
breakoff is awkward, so like we're talking

1178
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:23,760
and then the conversation will stop and
I feel like we're done. I'm like,

1179
01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,640
look, this doesn't happen on a
daily basis. I'm not eminem.

1180
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:30,279
So that's why why I don't want
to take myself Well, first off,

1181
01:26:30,359 --> 01:26:32,920
I don't want to be let me, let me start with the origin the

1182
01:26:33,039 --> 01:26:35,960
reason I'm not out here taking selfies
on all these things. I don't like

1183
01:26:36,039 --> 01:26:40,840
selfies to begin with. Yeah,
I think it's probably the second most narcissistic

1184
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:45,239
thing you can do, next to
having a wedding. But so unless you

1185
01:26:45,319 --> 01:26:48,960
got him and to shoot, then
it's so good. But I want the

1186
01:26:49,079 --> 01:26:51,640
work to be the work. Yeah, Like, yes, I know,

1187
01:26:53,279 --> 01:26:56,800
interesting tactic to promote on social media. Yeah, but I'm not going to

1188
01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,600
be out here self being all over
the place Like that's not the work that

1189
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:05,319
man, my body, my body
is just a vehicle to get this work

1190
01:27:05,399 --> 01:27:09,119
done. I don't need to take
a picture of my body to get the

1191
01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:13,279
work done and speak. The work
speaks for itself. Yes, yes,

1192
01:27:14,279 --> 01:27:17,520
yeah, I totally I totally get
that, and I was really slow to

1193
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:21,479
even do um, so I've kind
of gotten used to it now. Jenny

1194
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:26,319
encouraged me to do this. So
now when whenever we have guests in studio

1195
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:30,119
or at least musicians, I always
take a selfie with the guest after the

1196
01:27:30,199 --> 01:27:33,199
show to post it, you know, to commemorate that they were on the

1197
01:27:33,279 --> 01:27:36,800
show. And you know, it's
it's you know, it's important for social

1198
01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:44,640
media and generating interest and visibility for
what I'm doing here. But um,

1199
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,439
but it was. But I'm still
like very awkward with it. I'm not

1200
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:53,520
a naturally photogenic person, and um
yeah, it is weird. I've gotten

1201
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,199
used to it, but it's still
weird, and I kind of had to

1202
01:27:56,239 --> 01:28:00,199
be dragged and convinced. You know, hey, this is important, you

1203
01:28:00,279 --> 01:28:05,079
know, for what you're doing any
kind of a radio show slash podcast,

1204
01:28:05,199 --> 01:28:09,479
you really need to to, you
know, take some pictures and you know

1205
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,159
it. But it's, um,
but it is awkward. We'll starting to

1206
01:28:12,239 --> 01:28:14,479
jump in man, like I kind
of like, you know, I don't

1207
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,920
always have you know, we're basically
streaming right now, we're basically streaming our

1208
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,199
thoughts. So maybe I didn't quite
articulate earlier. He said, you know,

1209
01:28:21,279 --> 01:28:26,239
why did you move to the you
know, his music on the Backburder

1210
01:28:26,279 --> 01:28:29,760
No music is not on the backburder. Yeah, but I also felt out

1211
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:31,680
of love with the things I had
to do to make money with music.

1212
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:36,039
Now there's some rappers listening to this
have been stuck in open mics for nine

1213
01:28:36,119 --> 01:28:39,720
years. They could probably yell at
me at the comments. So I don't

1214
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,239
do it for the love, yeah
whatever, But at the end of the

1215
01:28:42,319 --> 01:28:45,319
day, the bank, the bank
doesn't accept doing it for the love as

1216
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:49,279
a payment, So right, I
spell it a love with Just like the

1217
01:28:50,159 --> 01:28:57,960
selfieing, the NonStop trying to just
I found myself becoming an avatar of myself

1218
01:28:58,199 --> 01:29:01,880
and that drew a further deep spiral
depression than I ever could have imagined.

1219
01:29:02,079 --> 01:29:09,640
No kidding, Like where you started
to feel? Did you feel like fake?

1220
01:29:10,039 --> 01:29:13,960
Like you were you were trying to
be someone you're not, or trying

1221
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:17,560
to present think anybody on social media? Let me rephrase this before I put

1222
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:21,359
my foot in my mouth. I
think a lot of people on social media

1223
01:29:21,479 --> 01:29:26,359
aren't exactly who they are in life
in general. Sure say certain things on

1224
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,359
social media they would never say in
real life. Oh yeah, you do

1225
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:31,560
things on social media they would never
do in real life. And I'm a

1226
01:29:31,680 --> 01:29:36,119
human being, So I fell into
certain traps of well, look, at

1227
01:29:36,119 --> 01:29:40,119
the end of the day, if
my algorithms up, my product doesn't get

1228
01:29:40,119 --> 01:29:42,159
seen. If my product doesn't get
seen, I don't get booked. If

1229
01:29:42,159 --> 01:29:44,520
I don't get booked, I don't
make money. Right, So I found

1230
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:53,840
myself doing these very like foulish tmzsh
modern day reality television tactics that I don't

1231
01:29:54,279 --> 01:29:58,640
feel comfortable with that my age to
still be doing understood. Yeah, I

1232
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:02,079
totally get that. Totally get that, and I think that now. I

1233
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:09,119
commend you, and I think you're
showing real growth and evolution with what you're

1234
01:30:09,159 --> 01:30:13,600
doing now and you know, still
making music, but with the videos with

1235
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,920
Fourth Kind Films, I think it's
great. I really support what you're doing.

1236
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,279
And it sounds like you're having a
lot of success with it too.

1237
01:30:18,319 --> 01:30:21,840
I mean, my god, seven
videos in one week. You're you're clearly

1238
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:26,880
doing something right. So well done. Man. I've known you for I've

1239
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,000
known you for quite a while now, and I'm proud of you. How

1240
01:30:29,039 --> 01:30:32,359
long you have I known you?
It's been it's been what sixteen seventeen years?

1241
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,239
I think. I mean, I
know it's funny, you know,

1242
01:30:35,359 --> 01:30:40,399
it's so funny. Man. Every
time I go on this number keeps getting

1243
01:30:40,399 --> 01:30:44,560
crazier. I think it's like twelve
or thirteen, but I think it's been

1244
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:49,840
a twelve or thirteen. I think
it's been a little more. I think

1245
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,039
it's well, you know more than
me. Man. You probably have all

1246
01:30:53,039 --> 01:30:55,199
the archives. But I'm pretty sure. And this is why I think that

1247
01:30:55,399 --> 01:30:58,479
because my first album, So,
I dropped an album in high school,

1248
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,920
but as far as like a real
pressed album that I toured the country where

1249
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,840
it was deaf by design. Okay, I remember, that's when I got

1250
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:09,960
really serious about promotion and really serious
about raiding reviews. And I'm pretty sure

1251
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:14,479
our first interview was twenty eleven.
Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure

1252
01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:18,399
that was it. Yeah, I'm
gonna go back and look. Okay,

1253
01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:23,119
yeah, maybe I'm not that old
man. You're making me sounds too a

1254
01:31:23,159 --> 01:31:25,720
little bro. Dude, dude,
I'm older than you. How do you

1255
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,439
think I feel? No, I
really think though, I really think I

1256
01:31:28,560 --> 01:31:31,640
interviewed you before twenty eleven. It's
not possible. When did you start,

1257
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:34,840
When did you start putting out music? I'm not saying it's not parting.

1258
01:31:36,079 --> 01:31:40,239
I don't think that's the case.
Okay, all right, yeah you might

1259
01:31:40,279 --> 01:31:43,319
be right. I mean, I'm
terrible at math, so I should probably

1260
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:45,319
just defer to you. Still twelve
years running, man, that ain't nothing

1261
01:31:45,319 --> 01:31:49,960
to Scott fat Yeah, yeah,
you're true. You're still in business when

1262
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:53,159
you say, I mean, hey, look at it this way. If

1263
01:31:53,199 --> 01:31:56,119
you weren't successful at what you're doing, I couldn't be on here for the

1264
01:31:56,199 --> 01:31:59,039
twelfth year. Oh that's you know
what I'm saying. I like that.

1351
01:39:33,159 --> 01:39:36,039
here as well at the news desk. I am present and accounted for,

1352
01:39:36,399 --> 01:39:42,720
Yes, and thank you again to
our friend kay Daver. I still I

1353
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:47,359
dispute his man. I really think. Yeah, I think I interviewed him

1354
01:39:47,399 --> 01:39:51,199
as far back as two thousand and
eight. I really do say I know,

1355
01:39:53,039 --> 01:39:57,760
but but I'm telling you because I
remember, because I think the first

1356
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,520
time I interviewed him was at Styling
Souls, the hair salon where I used

1357
01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:05,159
to do hypnosis right here in Manchester. It's it's uh, it's not there

1358
01:40:05,159 --> 01:40:09,880
anymore, but I think that was
before twenty eleven. I really do think

1359
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,479
I've known him longer. But I
could be rock but not no, but

1360
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:16,359
I and I am bad at math. Yes, yes, but I've known

1361
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:21,199
him a long time. Yes,
I do know, very very talented gentleman,

1362
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:27,239
but wonderful to speak with him and
check out Fourth Kind Films and uh,

1363
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,319
that video for Another Day drops tomorrow. I'm excited to see that because

1364
01:40:31,319 --> 01:40:35,359
I really like that song. Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely and oh,

1365
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:39,239
by the way, well we'll see
if I don't know if you saw I

1366
01:40:39,359 --> 01:40:42,399
messaged oar I did see the group
chat. Yeah, so we might get

1367
01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:46,199
Billy Painter who right now. Billy
Painter, of course, saw from Iowa.

1368
01:40:47,039 --> 01:40:53,560
Oh I'm sorry, Idaho. Eric
Pilcher is in uh In, Iowa,

1369
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:58,640
Idaho. Billy Painter right now is
in New York, New York state.

1370
01:40:59,039 --> 01:41:01,560
I saw. I wonder if he'll
be in New York City's wearing one

1371
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:05,520
of those attractive blue raincoats. Yes, why is he wearing that? Is

1372
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:11,600
because he's at the Atagara Falls.
Yes, they give you a blue raincoat

1373
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,800
to put on sea. You don't
get silken wet. I thought they gave

1374
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:16,359
you a barrel. No, that's
only if they don't like you. I

1375
01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:20,079
see. Yeah, that's very strange. If you're a Trump voter, they'll

1376
01:41:20,119 --> 01:41:23,800
they'll give you the barrel. Oh, well, it is New York.

1377
01:41:24,119 --> 01:41:28,319
I could help it. It's it's
New York. It's it's a blue it's

1378
01:41:28,319 --> 01:41:31,760
a blue state, the first state
to put criminal charges on Trump. Well,

1379
01:41:32,239 --> 01:41:34,960
and more to come. By the
sounds of things, well, we

1380
01:41:35,039 --> 01:41:40,479
shall see. We see not a
totally off topic thing here, but you

1381
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:44,359
know what I just saw that flashed
across my news thing, what leprosy is

1382
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:50,119
rearing its head in Florida. Florida
is having a a issue of a biblical

1383
01:41:50,239 --> 01:41:57,960
disease, leprosy. What have they
done? State in the country sinned against

1384
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:02,920
the humanity. It's definitely Florida.
Oh my god. Yeah, lepersy could

1385
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:08,760
be endemic in central Florida. Yep, you'll you'll see that in the news.

1386
01:42:09,159 --> 01:42:12,399
That's on top of the flesh eating
bacteria washing up on their show,

1387
01:42:13,159 --> 01:42:18,640
Florida man loses limb, it falls
off. Um, well, that's that's

1388
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:23,640
unfortunate. Well, look where we're
talking about here. John Valbee did a

1389
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:30,359
song. It was something like yesterday, No, what was it? No,

1390
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:34,640
it was leprosy. Everything is falling
off of me. I'm not half

1391
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:39,520
the man I used to be.
Oh, why did I get lepersy?

1392
01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:44,880
Something like that Florida's New Thieves song. That's what they should have for a

1393
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:49,279
state's song. Now, yeah,
let's just face it. We should just

1394
01:42:49,399 --> 01:42:53,119
cut them off and let them float
away. I don't know if there's any

1395
01:42:53,159 --> 01:42:57,279
salvation for a state that thinks that
the Diary of Anne Frank is pornography.

1396
01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:00,239
By the way, Alex Whiteley in
the chat room says, this is regarding

1397
01:43:00,680 --> 01:43:03,000
Kate Ever and I talking about you
know, people coming up to us and

1398
01:43:03,079 --> 01:43:06,319
so forth. He said, I
feel the same man, when people come

1399
01:43:06,399 --> 01:43:11,119
up to me in our complimentary about
my show, I get all awkward about

1400
01:43:11,159 --> 01:43:13,439
it. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate
it, though, Yeah, I'm like

1401
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:17,920
that. It's very hard sometimes for
people to accept positive praise. It's a

1402
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:20,319
hard thing to not go oh no, wait, I mess this up.

1403
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:25,039
I get. I get very if
someone does that, I get. I

1404
01:43:25,119 --> 01:43:30,600
get very sort of aw shucks,
you know, like really really like show.

1405
01:43:31,279 --> 01:43:33,439
Well I don't know about that,
but I get I get very aw

1406
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:43,880
shucks. Alex also said, just
watched the video. Oh interesting, just

1407
01:43:44,079 --> 01:43:48,199
watched the video your guest did for
debo and it slaps. I need that

1408
01:43:48,319 --> 01:43:51,800
Wu Tang clock in my life.
I'm gonna have to watch that later.

1409
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,279
Yeah, I want to know what
that's talking about. What a slaps mean?

1410
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:59,199
The young people say that it's slaps
that like cool means it's good.

1411
01:43:59,399 --> 01:44:03,840
Yes, it's a compliments wicked.
It slaps wicked, wicked cool, wicked

1412
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:13,680
slaps excellent, dude. Uh um, I want to make sure we don't

1413
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:18,880
miss anybody. New Force of the
Spark is in the chat room of course.

1414
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:24,520
Yes, hell and uh we say
to you and new Force of the

1415
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:28,840
Sark sparks as to Charles, good
afternoon, hashtack, Charles, we said,

1416
01:44:29,039 --> 01:44:32,039
we say ninety eight degrees is a
pop singing group of boy band.

1417
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:36,399
Thank you for explaining a new Force
of the Spark. I think it's Charles's

1418
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:42,319
favorite band, ninety eight degrees.
Yeah, oh, Charles said two.

1419
01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:45,560
I wanted to go back to this
because it regards, you know, our

1420
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:49,239
healthcare conversation earlier. Oh yeah,
I thought medication. Yeah, Charles says,

1421
01:44:49,359 --> 01:44:54,119
my son almost didn't have adder all
because they were out for a while.

1422
01:44:54,279 --> 01:44:57,479
It took a week to get it
and it usually took the doctor to

1423
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:00,960
call personally to get the med's re
filled. Yep, yep, that's been

1424
01:45:01,039 --> 01:45:05,520
going on across the country. Yeah, this meds shortage is I personally believe

1425
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:11,920
a direct result of this lean manufacturing
to save money at the cost to However,

1426
01:45:12,039 --> 01:45:15,000
many lives die while they don't have
meds, or have get sick or

1427
01:45:15,079 --> 01:45:18,479
end up in a hospital because they
don't have meds. Yeah, it doesn't

1428
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:23,680
have to be this way, but
it is. The all on the almighty

1429
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:28,920
dollar got to have that profit.
Ronofevero said a little off subject, but

1430
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:32,279
I pay fifteen hundred a month for
three of my meds. Due to shortages

1431
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:38,119
of the manufactured version, I'm forced
to get them compounded. What does that

1432
01:45:38,239 --> 01:45:41,960
mean? Compounded compounded that's what I
do for my Lotos Snell trucks On,

1433
01:45:42,039 --> 01:45:45,640
which means it's a specialty pharmacy that
it is able to make the medication into

1434
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:51,199
a peel form or a liquid form
for you. That's what happens with the

1435
01:45:51,319 --> 01:45:56,159
Lotos Snell trucks On because the manufacturer
who makes that med does not make it

1436
01:45:56,239 --> 01:46:00,199
in the low doses that are helping
people like me and people with MS on

1437
01:46:00,279 --> 01:46:02,199
my alga. There's a lot of
people who have been benefiting from LDN,

1438
01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,920
but they don't think they'll make enough
profits, so they're not going to make

1439
01:46:04,960 --> 01:46:09,159
it in our dose. So we
have to go to a compounding pharmacy to

1440
01:46:09,199 --> 01:46:12,239
get it made, and the insurance
company is going to take a walk on

1441
01:46:12,359 --> 01:46:16,159
it because it's a compounded medication,
So the insurance company gets to pocket your

1442
01:46:16,199 --> 01:46:20,680
premium. The pharmacy doesn't have to. I mean, the manufacturer just says,

1443
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,560
you know, to heck, I'm
not going to make it for you,

1444
01:46:24,159 --> 01:46:30,319
and you know you're just acceptable losses
this might also be a little off

1445
01:46:30,399 --> 01:46:35,439
topic, but Isaac Banks says,
hashtag Jenny Coffee and hashtag Matt Connerton.

1446
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:40,600
I would like to give a shout
out to Anna Paquin from True Blood.

1447
01:46:41,079 --> 01:46:44,279
Hi, Anna Pack, when how
are you doing? Now? Wait?

1448
01:46:44,399 --> 01:46:46,199
Now, wait a minute. Huh
No, she's an artist we had on

1449
01:46:47,279 --> 01:46:50,720
Uh no, you're thinking of uh
no, Anna Pack? When is an

1450
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:56,439
actress you're thinking of? Oh oh
yeah, yeah, you're thinking of somebody

1451
01:46:56,439 --> 01:46:59,520
else, you know. I was
thinking, yes, yes, But now

1452
01:47:00,159 --> 01:47:04,640
this will be great because if you
get a message in your Facebook messenger from

1453
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:10,520
Anna Paquin wanting to come on the
show, now you'll know why A referral

1454
01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:15,680
from Isaac Banks. Yes, Alex, whiley says, can I call in

1455
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:18,680
tomorrow? Night might be the last
time I can for a while while I

1456
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:25,720
settle into my new job. What. Yes, but we've got Yeah,

1457
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:28,439
we've got a we've got a busy
show tomorrow, We've got a busy week.

1458
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,720
Yes, you do. Tomorrow at
four thirty Starlight we'll be skyping in.

1459
01:47:33,199 --> 01:47:39,760
Yes. And then at five pm
Jack Dolery will be skyping in from

1460
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:44,319
the UK. Yes, And that's
tomorrow. So my suggestion, Alex either

1461
01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:48,600
either hit us very early in the
show or late in the show. Yeah,

1462
01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:53,920
just not in the middle. Perfect. So there you go, perfect

1463
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:57,600
in the middle. So we have
two musical guests tomorrow you do the Wednesday

1464
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:02,560
you have Honky Cappuccino and then on
Thursday of Mike Laughlin. And then on

1465
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:09,000
Friday you have passed the ammunitions skyping
in from Texas. Ah, yes,

1466
01:48:09,560 --> 01:48:12,520
quite the week. Well, with
a name like Dassie Ammunition, you would

1467
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:15,600
assume they were from Texas and they
make sense that they would like to be

1468
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:19,520
here in New Hampshire. What do
you mean? New Hampshire is has a

1469
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:24,720
positive atmosphere as far as gun rights
are concerned, and we do happen to

1470
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:30,000
have gun manufacturers also located in our
state. Oh, and other industries that

1471
01:48:30,279 --> 01:48:32,359
work with that industry. So there's
actually quite a bit of jobs in this

1472
01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:36,800
state. Oh, that's true in
relation to firearms. That is true.

1473
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:43,399
That is true. So yes,
we should remind people to h oh Alex

1474
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:46,279
whiley says, huh someone else skyping
in from the UK? Yeah, dude,

1475
01:48:46,399 --> 01:48:50,319
right, the cheek of it I've
been getting and and yes, I'm

1476
01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:55,840
We're very cheeky here. Yes,
uh yeah, we've had actually quite a

1477
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:59,680
few. Just last week we had
a Lewis tivy. We've had the UK,

1478
01:49:00,239 --> 01:49:04,319
We've had Ireland, We've had Germany. Irelin's part of the UK.

1479
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:09,319
But okay, but it's a separate
entity sort of like what I know,

1480
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:13,159
it's part of the UK. But
I consider when I say UK, I

1481
01:49:13,239 --> 01:49:17,520
consider like more Britain versus Ireland.
They are separated by a vast swath of

1482
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:23,600
ocean. Just be careful who you
say that too. Oh I'm saying if

1483
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:27,439
some some some British people might not
like uh, that's why I'm here.

1484
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:30,399
Some Irish people might not like that. I don't know. Hear me,

1485
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:35,199
He'll get mad, right, that's
right? Oh my goodness. Yes,

1486
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:41,079
it has been a very busy show
and it's not going to get not you

1487
01:49:41,119 --> 01:49:44,800
know your week is all set.
No, that's good, and you're booked

1488
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:47,279
up a lot next week too.
Lots of great artists. You have amazing

1489
01:49:47,399 --> 01:49:51,640
artists coming in from all across the
country and right here at home we are

1490
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:58,279
blessed with a plethora of some really
great sound. Absolutely, we should remind

1491
01:49:58,319 --> 01:50:01,079
people too, because we have to
wrap up in a moment but rapid.

1492
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:06,199
The video is online. You spoke
earlier at the event, Yes, at

1493
01:50:06,279 --> 01:50:11,720
the Protect Ourcare bus tour event that
launched here in Manchester on its way across

1494
01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:15,720
the country to California. I believe
they had like eighteen stops along the way.

1495
01:50:15,039 --> 01:50:17,760
You can see the video. It
is live. It is up on

1496
01:50:18,199 --> 01:50:23,479
Facebook and the UA Tube and it
will be up on my website in a

1497
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:27,199
little while, which is Jencoffee dot
com j E n n c O f

1498
01:50:27,399 --> 01:50:30,720
Fey dot com. You can also
see when I spoke last week at the

1499
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:35,039
press confidence and prior to that at
the town hall that was held inside the

1500
01:50:35,159 --> 01:50:39,840
Senate Chambers of Capitol Hill. Yes. Oh, by the way, Alex

1501
01:50:40,079 --> 01:50:44,239
corrects me. Uh, Ireland is
not part of the UK, but but

1502
01:50:44,399 --> 01:50:47,760
it is part of the British Aisles. This is all very confusing to me.

1503
01:50:48,199 --> 01:50:53,600
I don't understand, and I'm I'm
Irish. I should I don't know

1504
01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,720
what that means, but it sounds
bad. That's what I came home with

1505
01:50:56,840 --> 01:50:59,920
from the Netherlands. Oh, my
goodness, my British buddy sot off.

1506
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:03,239
But that but they say that in
the Netherlands. Well, no, my

1507
01:51:03,319 --> 01:51:09,159
buddy's British, so he was British
military. This is all. This is

1508
01:51:09,279 --> 01:51:12,479
so I'm so confused. I don't
know. I don't know what's going on.

1509
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:15,880
Yes, all right, they have
territories kind of like US, Puerto

1510
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:21,319
Rico, we will close. Does
that make sense? Ireland is Puerto Rico?

1511
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:24,960
It actually does make sense. Yeah, yeah, but it's I think

1512
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,039
Puerto Rico should be a state.
But we'll have that conversation another day.

1513
01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:30,760
I guess I don't know. I
don't have any strong opinion. I think

1514
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:32,439
it's the only way that we're going
to get the rest of the country to

1515
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:36,279
realize that they're in the country.
Well that's true, people, Uh do

1516
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:41,920
forget Uh we should Uh, I'm
sorry, what were you going to say?

1517
01:51:42,319 --> 01:51:44,800
There was? There was There was
the rental car company that wouldn't give

1518
01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:46,880
the guy a car unless he had
a passport because he had a Puerto Rican

1519
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:50,000
license and he said it was out
of the country. The Guba didn't know

1520
01:51:50,079 --> 01:51:54,279
the Puto Rico is part of the
United States. So make up a state

1521
01:51:54,479 --> 01:51:58,880
so we can end it, yeah
yeah, or fix some American education so

1522
01:51:59,079 --> 01:52:01,439
people know. I'd rather make a
a state and give them full voting rights

1523
01:52:01,560 --> 01:52:05,680
that they should have anyway, But
that's just me. Yeah, all right,

1524
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:09,000
all right, Well, I don't
oppose that, but well, there

1525
01:52:09,039 --> 01:52:11,279
you go, agreement. All right, we gotta go. If you miss

1526
01:52:11,279 --> 01:52:15,600
any part of today's well I said, I didn't oppose it. I don't.

1527
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:17,439
I don't, I don't have it. I don't continue this conversation later.

1528
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:20,399
I don't. I don't know enough
about the subject. Um. Oh,

1529
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:26,439
Alex says in the chat room,
Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

1530
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:30,000
Republic of Ireland is not. This
is becoming even more confusing to me.

1531
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,920
Oh my goodness, I am so
now. I'm really just there are

1532
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:40,720
people that are for United Ireland.
Yeah, yeah, all right, now

1533
01:52:40,800 --> 01:52:44,560
we definitely have to go because I'm
getting a headache from all this geography is

1534
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:46,840
kicking your but it is, it's
not. It's not my friend. Math

1535
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,920
and geography are not my friends.
I don't blame me on the math geography.

1536
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:55,880
I apparently am a little better than
you. Earlier, I said Billy

1537
01:52:56,000 --> 01:53:00,119
Painter was from Iowa. I just
have the potatoes in the cor No,

1538
01:53:00,680 --> 01:53:02,520
no sense of geography. All right, We're gonna play a little bit of

1539
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:05,640
this track from Kdaverlocktin loaded. We
won't have time for the full thing.

1540
01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:08,920
But if you miss any part of
today's show. It we'll be up in

1541
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:13,079
just a little bit at WMNH Radio
dot org and in my website Matt Connerton

1542
01:53:13,159 --> 01:53:15,960
dot com. And I don't forget
to be back bright and early tomorrow morning,

1543
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:17,960
seven am for the Morning Show with
Peter White. And that's gonna do

1544
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:20,319
it for us. For now,
we're out. I will talk with y'all

1545
01:53:20,319 --> 01:53:34,159
a little bit later. Bye everybody, Bye bye. Time is coming.

1546
01:53:34,199 --> 01:53:41,560
This is no way to run lcky
load to the flooring plane, no more.

1547
01:53:42,039 --> 01:53:46,000
Even this skull locky load is coming. This is no way to run

1548
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:53,000
in the grime locky load dates to
the floor plane, no more, even

1549
01:53:53,119 --> 01:53:58,640
this skuycky load. Lois said,
I was nothing and I'll never be space,

1550
01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:00,680
but they don't really want to.
I'm beef with me because I'm just another
