A bit of intelligent intellect on the airways. So what
we need and that's what we got from you, mister Conington.

that I have. The way people are speaking today is ridiculous,
preposterous and semantically incorrect.
Speaker 2: If I hear.
Speaker 3: Like like like one more time, I think I'm going
to lose my mind. Matt, Ricky Mapleton, thank you so
much for putting out this new collection of songs directly
referencing today's English grammar in the nightmare it has begun.

Speaker 4: Our generation like really really really really like really good like.
Speaker 2: I don't pride myself, but I try to talk semi
intelligently and if I'm going to use the word like
instead of using the word like. Here's the public information
of the day. You're gonna use the word like, don't
use it. Take a breath and don't say anything like
because like when you say like all the time, like
it becomes habit forming and like it sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, is that the maybe that was the the next
form of the next what would that be the next
uh iteration? Iteration or moving into so mutation? So that
was the that was the kind of seed that started
this new project.
Speaker 1: It's a comma really like it's it's a comma like,
that's that's what I say.
Speaker 2: Well, like, could you play this song?

it's that. Is that the whimmy?
Speaker 4: It sounds just like him, that the Dillio? No, no,
the cute voice.
Speaker 2: Well, it was on a shared file. We did squeech
that up a little bit, that voice and slid it
out a little bit. It was a available loop that
we plugged in at the end and we're like, wow,
what's gonna make the song? At least have a little
bit of a catch to it.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 1: Please, whatever criticisms I may have are purely constructive in nature.
But I have to tell you, at the end of
the song, I did not feel like I was any
closer to understanding what the dilio is than I was
at the beginning of the song. I don't feel that
my questions were answered about the dilio and what is
the dilio?
Speaker 2: That's fascinating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, very good point.
Speaker 2: Let's expand off on that for a moment. What is
the dillio? When somebody says what's the dilio, you're asking
what's going on? Oh, what's happening?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: So hey, Matt, what's the dilio?
Speaker 1: Okay? I thought maybe this was some sort of foreign currency, like,
uh oh, interesting, take like, what's the dilio doing compared
to the dollar? You know, how are we looking?
Speaker 2: It's like, what's up?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: What's up? I thought?
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was a new cryptocurrency or something,
you know, I don't know, you know, get your dilio dollars,
you know, fake money.
Speaker 2: Exist? What's the exchange rate on a dilio dollar? Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still don't know after listening to the song. But
I think I understand a little bit better now.
Speaker 2: Are you sure?
Speaker 1: I think so? I think?
Speaker 2: So you know what the dilio is?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't sure.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I do.
Speaker 12: Do you know what?
Speaker 4: I think I know what? And I don't know if
he knows what the dilio is?
Speaker 2: What's what? What's what's the very the dilio is?
Speaker 4: Totally what's going on? It's totally like the deal.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a snack good to to me?
Speaker 1: Well, it actually does take a might work.
Speaker 4: That food is his language, so that might work.
Speaker 2: What's see it? Also?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it sounds like something that if I looked it
up on Urban Dictionary, I might be horrified at what.
Speaker 2: Matt, If you were going to make the diliouh cake
like a funny bonus or a hostess whole ho, what's
what's in the dillio?
Speaker 4: It doesn't make anything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't make it would be your dream? Is
there a healthy dilio? I would hope, So put the
dilio with that?
Speaker 1: Maybe something gluten free?
Speaker 2: What do you what's your thoughts on fire? The word
everybody that's fire. Oh, yes, that's fire. That's it. That
one didn't make the kid believe it or not. No, Well,
so now what do we have for volume two? Fire? Fire,
I don't want to yellow.
Speaker 4: It didn't come out like that. In our day.
Speaker 2: It was fire fire. We were told not to say
that in a movie theater.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it takes on when I first heard the
Z generation talking like, hey, that's fire, I'm like what yeah?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to be careful with that, especially in
certain circumstances. Oh, we do have a call. We'll see Hi.
Welcome to Matt Connorton Unleashed is.
Speaker 12: This Yeah, this is Marvin. Thanks for taking my call today, Matt,
You're welcome. Well, I would like to mellow things out
here on the show and requests a B side a
song called You Stole My check Book. This song comes
from and will remind you of any relationship you had
when your heart was torn out and your checkbook was missing.
Let's reflect the graciousness of life and the hardship that
love can be. This is mellow Marvin thanking Matt Connorton
once again, who, by the way, has an adorable deep
radio voice.
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 2: What that dilly?
Speaker 5: Yo?
Speaker 1: My voice could be deeper.
Speaker 2: But but you know, people that call that always are
complimenting you.

Speaker 2: Yeah wow, and I accept them. I I do accept
what the kids would call your fire. I am your fire.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So what did you want to hear?

Speaker 2: Can I do the whole artist thing? This song is
kind of different than all the other songs?
Speaker 1: Can I do that? Can I? Well? This song?
Speaker 2: This song is different than all the other songs because
Ricky Mapleton steps up and plays the bass on this
one a little bit in my first I haven't played
the bass in a while, I can. I feel it's
more of like a spin doctors, okay, and going on.
I just really liked the way the music came out
on this one. Okay, it's not you know, I don't know.
And it's about relationships. We all have been through, good
and bad. Stealing someone's checkbook is an analogy, obviously. And okay, oh,
but you could steal somebody's check book, and you can
steal somebody's heart. But oh, I just thought that you
can always go to the bank and re order those checks.
Ooh wow, thought of the day.

Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, he started calling in a few years ago,
and he was he had a lot of challenges in
life going on. He lives up in Vermont, I think,
and he's and he's a kind of a I guess,
quote unquote hippie living off the grid, but was really
struggling with a lot of demons on his back.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's ad throat surgery. I think it's
I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know either I was like an a CDC
cover band or something blew it out. But he's been
calling in and another person that has gotten it together well,
And I'm really happy that he's still calling and keeping
contact with us. Yes, yes, So what did you want
to hear?
Speaker 1: So he requested a song called Big Picture?
Speaker 2: Okay, So this song is about looking at the big picture,
looking above, not looking direct like what's maybe that's what's happening.
If youel a little stress in your life, yes, easy
to get lost in that needs to de spiral.
Speaker 1: We all do it.
Speaker 2: We all we all challenging world. So sometimes if you
look from a bobble down look at the big picture.
Speaker 1: Well, if you look from a down that'd be more
like a bird's eye view. Yes, maybe you should write
a song about that too. Okay, that's three no, but
I I get what you're saying, very very positive, good
good words of wisdom, and yeah, let's take a lot

call from a long time caller. Do you see an
Agnes on there?
Speaker 5: Oh?

think I remember Agnes though now, and I assume I.
Speaker 2: Just got off the phone with Agnes a couple of
days ago. And older, lady eyes, you have raspy voice.
Speaker 1: Because nobody under the age of ninety has the name Agnes.
Speaker 2: You know, I know, it's all Kyles. It's all Kyles
and never mind right right where sounds.
Speaker 4: Instead of Agnes?

Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's too late, but she doesn't

Welcome to Matt connorson Unleashed.
Speaker 2: Is this Matt Riggy?
Speaker 15: Thanks for taking my call. This is Ah this from
the community. Get out Riggy with your new release. You
hit the nail right on the head. We are sick
and tired of people coming in our community and jumping
in our pool. They are we get out of our pool,
Get out of my pool. Then we heard your song
and we feel even more connected to you than ever.
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, get out of my pool.
Speaker 2: Well, Agnes, thank you so much for calling in.
Speaker 1: She hung up.
Speaker 2: The original caller when I when I first went on
this uh calling dream that people would be calling in,
so fabricating it in uh a ka in uh inventing
Agnes or I'll just leave it at that for the
people listening.
Speaker 6: But Agnes uh.
Speaker 2: Went through the same thing that I think a lot
of people go through that own pools now. If you
ever owned a pool, Have you ever had a pool
in your backyard.
Speaker 1: Or I've never I've never owned a pool.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you ever have a pool on your property.
Speaker 1: I've been in a pool?
Speaker 2: Well that let me. I recently was fortunate enough to
purchase the house about nine years ago, okay, and it
came with a pool. Okay, small pool in the back,
not like the Olympic pools that you see in the seventies.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you in the wintertime, when my
snowblower broke down, and I see my neighbor across the
street with his beautiful Toro solar powered cop holding, and
I'm out there shoveling because I can't afford a good
snowball and I just broke down. Fine, fine, I'm over it.
Can you tell him over it? This summer and this
summer and last summer, somebody gonna knock him my door. Hey, hey, neighbor,
can we can use your pool? Me and my wife
look at each other like is this really happening? And
I almost said, hey, snowblower guy. I try to live
in a peaceful neighborhood. Yes, but that kind of twirked
me the wrong way. But the carrying their show that
Ricky Mapleton is sure, no problem. Good good opened up
the gate. He comes and he comes in with this.
He comes in with his grandkid and his older son. No,
I got three people in my pool.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. He didn't tell you that up front.
Speaker 2: No, And then he did it two more times during
the summer. And much like agnes I wrote, I wrote
this song and rebellion for people that use other people's pools.
And this is the most rock song on this album.
Put your rock and roll on and you see something
that you don't like, it's okay to say, get out
of my pool. All right, let's here it all right,
here's the upper building of.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 9: Here it is.
Speaker 6: You're using all the glory.
Speaker 7: I don't even know you.
Speaker 6: I only see you when it's hot.
Speaker 1: Out.
Speaker 9: Get out of my pool. Get out of my pool.
I don't even know you. Get out of my pool.
Speaker 14: You're using up bubble colorine I've never seen when they're
seven feet of stone aground.
Speaker 6: You're walking around with your beautiful stone blowers.
Speaker 9: Good out of my pool.
Speaker 6: I need your summer fool. I know what makes you truel.
Speaker 9: Why don't you get your own pool? Then you can
be the fool.
Speaker 6: Why don't you just get out of my pool?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Get out of My Rule by Ricky Mapleton. So Agnes
inspired that.
Speaker 2: Agnes and my neighbor and people that come over. You
know if you have a pool. When you have a pool,
you spend a good amount of time keeping the pool clean,
skimming the pool, vacuum me the pool, checking the pH
of the pool, the chlorine, the pH up, the pH down.
There's a lot that goes in to having a pool. Yes,
so if somebody comes over and says, I want to
get in your pool, you think they could shower a
little bit. They looked a little bit disheveled, like they
just painted their house and then jumped in my pool.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 2: So this is when you have something in life later
and gentleman inspires you go for it. But do something
positive with that energy.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Wow, It's like Billy Ocean. Remember Billy Ocean. He had
that song get out of my dreams, get into my car.
Speaker 2: Well that's kind of sketchy.
Speaker 1: Maybe it should have been get out of my dreams,
get into my pool. You know, because he was inviting
a lady.
Speaker 2: That's kind of yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know what I'm saying. So I think
that's you know what I'm saying. That's a nice thing
in that case. But what you're saying is, you know,
something very frustrated.
Speaker 2: Oh but that's an analogy for a lot of stuff.
Get out of my pool, Yes, you know, get out
of my pool? Yes, yes, or like like, you're ruining
my ride. You ever had that re question before?
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely right. I mean no one's ever said it
to me, you're ruining my ride, but get out of
my pool. But uh, I'm looking for a track to
for when we close out the segment, because we played
everything that you sent me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I what are you think?
Speaker 12: I like this?
Speaker 1: I like this song. You're turning into one of those
before I think I think that was one of my favorites.
We might we might pull but before we run out
of time, remind everybody where they can find uh the
new album.
Speaker 2: Where it is up on YouTube, Spotify and all those
other cool digital platforms that we can fortunately use now. Yes,
because back in the day, back in the day, you
could just stop get music and put it out even
though it's out in a minuscule and you're a small
piece of sand on the beach. At least it's out there, right,
I don't have to get a record contract and get
vinyl and you know what I'm saying, you know, like,
so I feel very fortunate that I'm still kicking and
enjoying the ability to do some some fun audio stuff.
