Speaker 1: No Boa, no, don't don't be inside the wall. Reach
gen no to me, reach out.
Speaker 2: To sign inside the reach gin no more you didn't
know joself.
Speaker 3: You John John name John name sound.
Speaker 4: John now.
Speaker 5: Me now till g B.
Speaker 6: That is called reach the band has ever felt. We
have an unusual, uh situation though here with our interview.
I'm just gonna go ahead and uh, I'm just gonna
go ahead and tell the listeners what's going on because
this is weird.
Speaker 7: So he goofed and apparently he thought he was ahead
of us and not behind.
Speaker 6: Us, okay, and he's not available. Okay, So here's what happened.
I'm just gonna go ahead, and I mean, I don't
want to embarrass anybody, but I have to explain it.
I feel compelled to because this has never happened before. So,
you know, we we interview sometimes we have musicians from
the area who come on and uh, but sometimes we
also for example, we have Dave Strong coming in in
the third hour, but we also interview musicians from other
parts of the country, other parts of the world even
and so obviously sometimes our guests are in other time zones.
So we're sitting here and Adam and Adam Seglitch from
ever Felt. It's me a message saying you know, I'll
be ready at ten am, and I'm like, great, because
that's when he's supposed to skype in. And as the
single was playing, Reach, which is their newest single, I'm reading,
I said to Jenny. I look at the message via Skype.
He had messaged me on Skype, and I realized the
exact wording of the messages I'll be ready to skype
in at ten am, eleven my time.
Speaker 1: And where is he in that?
Speaker 6: And I'm reading the message. He's in Chicago, which is
a central time zone. So I'm reading the message and
it suddenly occurred to me. I was like, wait a minute,
ten am. Yes, that is correct, but he's an hour
behind us if he's Central time, so that's not eleven
his time ten am here would be nine am Central time.
Eleven am his time would be noon.
Speaker 7: He's now figured out, he has said, O D yeah,
so I am so sorry. Yeah, so is that a
child's football game?
Speaker 6: All right, Well, well that I can do. Yeah, there
you go. So here your time zones? Yes, yes, yeah,
I read that message. I was like, wait a minute,
and then I thought and then I tried connecting with
him because I thought maybe that was a typo. But yes,
so eleven am his time would be noon our time,
and at noon the show is over. So anyway, honest mistake.
Adam's a really nice guy, well, a big fan of
the band. Will definitely reschedule them, so there's no you know,
nobody's upset about anything. Just to be clear, So mistakes happen,
it's all good. But but ever Felt will not be
joining us today apparently. So here's what we are going
to do. We're going to you know, we love to
do the world radio premieres here on Matt Connorton Unleashed.
So now that we are into the second hour if
you missed it at the top of the show, we've
got two radio premieres this week. We have what If
These Days from Club Paradise, great band from the UK
who joined us a number of weeks ago, and I
love this song. I cannot even express this is one
of those rare songs. I don't even have the words
for how much I love this song. So we're gonna
play that again, and immediately after that we're also gonna
play the FM radio premiere because I think an Internet
station has already been playing it. But it's the FM
radio premiere of the new track from Silicon Kong called
Cyber Jesus. So we're gonna play those and then Jenny
and I will find a suitable subject for the second hour,
because there's always a lot of things going on in
the music industry. Oh and I can talk a little
bit too about Under the Horizon, who were on the
show with us last week. Very excited about that. Yes,
absolutely so. We have plenty of other things to talk about,
and we will get ever felt rescheduled, I'm sure. But
so let's do this. We're gonna hit our world radio premieres.
And hey, even if you did already hear the track
at the top of the first hour, it's worth here
and again. This is such a great song. I love this.
This is club Paradise. The track is what if these days?
Today's the American radio premiere to be precise of this track.
So check this out.

five point three FM in Glorious Manchester, New Hampshire. Jenny
is here as well at.
Speaker 7: The news table, present and accounted for.
Speaker 6: By the way, be careful if you're headed downtown, they've
got the car show going on. Yes, so we had
to take block. Yeah, we had to take a very
slight detour here, but of course that time of day,
on a Saturday morning, it's pretty easy.
Speaker 7: But Almoll separated me from donkeys.
Speaker 6: Yes, I'm not a car guy per se as you know,
but some of those are pretty cool to look at,
you know, when you see them, I'm so glad you're
not a car guy. Yeah, I'm not a car guy,
but but if I see like a cool looking car,
I'm like, oh, that's a cool looking I could look
at a car and go yeah, yeah looking yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: That's about the extent of it for me.
Speaker 6: Yes, I as well as well. Coming up in the
third hour today we have musician Dave Strong is going
to be joining us and we're gonna play We're gonna
play some of some of his tunes. Of course. In
the first hour we were by a filmmaker, Charles Maddox.
Speaker 7: If you miss that my personal heroes.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, absolutely. We also have been featuring today the
radio premieres of a couple of brand new tracks what
If These Days by Club Paradise, our friends from the
UK who had on the show recently. I love that song,
so we are very honored to be the first American
radio station to play that track. And also Cyber Jesus
from Silicon Kong, Ian Hemy, that one Ian Hemy who
invented is the creator of Silicon Kong, was here with
us on the show last week, and that is the
FM radio premiere. I do think there might be an
Internet station that's already playing it, but that was the
FM radio premiere here in the United States of that track.
So I'm really looking forward to seeing that rockumentary or
mockumentary when it comes out about Silicon Kong. So lots
of good stuff. We should remind people too, your art
is still for well, not much longer, much longer, a.
Speaker 4: Couple more days.
Speaker 7: There are twelve twelve of my darkest pieces hanging at
at the Midnight Creatives Collective in Nashua. Also the location
of Terminus, Yes, where we recently got to go seeing
Green Jello, which is insanely cool. It's an awesome space
to go see people. If you haven't gotten to go
there yet, I encourage you to. Yes, if you want
to go in the next couple of days and check
out some of my dark paintings, go ahead, yeah, And
you can find more about me and my paintings at
Gencoffee dot com, j E N N C O F
F E y dot com. And while I have your attention, yes,
I want to remind folks that right now there is
a critical blood shortage. The American Red Cross has been
putting out the call across the nation asking people to
come in and help save lives. There is a very
critical blood shortage going on right now. And also the
American Red Cross has a program where they will come
out and install a free smoke detector in your house
and also do a safety check and let you know
if you have any risks that you might want to
take care of. You know, so if there is a

a home safety check, visit the Redcross dot org in
home smoke alarms or call one eight hundred four six
four sixty six nine two one eight hundred four six
four sixty six nine to two for the Red Cross.
Speaker 6: Very good, very good. I do want to mention too.
In the Facebook live chat, our friend Bruce from Legion
of Solace. Of course a great, great place, I think,
I said. I don't know why I keep thinking he's
from Connecticut. He's actually from Massachusetts, I believe, but he's
in the chat room. They do a lot for the
music scene. When I was playing that Chasing the Devil
track earlier, we played the newest single from them, Drowning
our friend j Bellow in the chat room, and hopefully
we'll get them on the show soon. They've got a
big tour there going on. But while that track was playing,
I missed the comment, so I wanted to go back
to it, Bruce said. The vocalist who is Jay, reminds
me of Howard Jones of Light the Torch and kill
Switch Engage. Yeah, I can definitely hear that. I can
hear that as well. Yeah, great band, Chasing the Devil.
You should check them out. Tattoo Baby is in the
Facebook live chat and says, hey, guys, she is the
cover model, by the way, for Grim Rock's album Grimrock.
Our friend from one of our actually one of our
many friends now from Pennsylvania who've been on the show.
So last week, of course when we had Ian Hemy
Silicon Kong also from pa a Yinser apparently that's what
they call them in Pittsburgh. And I just want to
make sure we didn't miss anybody here bouncing between chat rooms.
Actually got multiple Oh. Andre Dumont of course from the
band Deed Harrison and also the Midnight Creatives Collective. I
get to see Andre of course on Tuesday night at
the Green Jelly Show or Green Jello, whichever you want
to call them, at Terminus in Nashua. Andre says, good morning,
the Saturday Morning Ritual begins, best radio show for your
weekend to begin. Thank you, Andre, appreciate that, Appreciate that
very much. Something that's been going on in the music
industry news, Actually, this is what we do when when
something goes awry with a guest. Is what happened today
with our our our number two guest. There's been a
lot of the biggest kind of news I think over
the past week in music in the world of music
is Oasis.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 6: They are reuniting the band Uh. The Gallagher brothers, Liam
and Noel Gallagher. Uh, you know, bands fighting or I'm
sorry I should say brothers fighting within bands not an
unusual thing. History tells us. You know, you've got the Kinks.
You know you've got Ray Davies and Dave Davies and
their epic arguments and so forth. But apparently the Gallagher
brothers putting their differences aside for a big reunion tour.
Speaker 5: We have a call.
Speaker 6: Let's grab this call. So he oh, no, nobody there. Okay,
someone was just calling us. Yeah, the Gallagher brothers, they're
putting their differences aside for the tour. But it was
interesting to see some of the reactions on social media
because people are cynical very often, and a lot of
people are suggesting that, well, this isn't going to last. Uh,
this isn't going to be real. The tour will end
up getting canceled, you know, after five dates, because the
Gallaghers are particularly famous for not getting along and like
I said, brothers arguing within bands. You've got Ray Davies
and Ryan Dave Davies from the Kinks. You've got bands
where you have not necessarily brothers, but people who are
like brothers like you know, Tyler and Perry of Aerosmith,
so forth. But there are a lot of example of
actual blood brothers and bands not getting along. So there's
already a lot of cynicism, a lot of skepticism about,
you know, whether this Oasis tour is really gonna is
really going to happen. But there's also an issue with
getting tickets, and the AP is reporting error messages and
lengthy online cues greet fans scrambling to secure Oasis reunion tickets.
It says here Oasis fans seeking tickets to the band's
reunion tour endured hours long waits and in some cases
disappointment as online platforms strained under demand Saturday from hundreds
of thousands of fans. The britpop era behemoth, led by
brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, is scheduled to play seventeen
gigs and that's it. That's a short actually a short tour.
Speaker 7: It's first of limited chances to see them.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, these are their first shows in fifteen years,
kicking off in Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and Dublin starting
July four. No, that is not Manchester, New Hampshire, of course, Manchester, England.
More than one million tickets went on sale on Saturday morning,
with prices starting at about seventy four pounds, which would
be just under one hundred dollars American. Some people attempting
to get into the handful of authorized sales sites, including
Ticketmaster and Gigs and Tours received error messages, while many
others were informed they were in a lengthy queue. Josh Jeffrey,
a videographer who lives near Edinburgh, spent hours moving up
the online ticket queue before the whole site collapsed at
the last step. He said, I've given up. My friends
have given up. We just decided it's too much hassle.
As I was in the queue, I heard wonderwall blasting
out from my neighbor's house. He'd obviously gotten tickets.
Speaker 7: Yes, wow, yeah, And they were saying that within hours
of the tickets going on sale, they were turning up
on resale websites for as much as seventy eight hundred dollars. Yeah,
seventy eight hundred dollars per ticket.
Speaker 16: No, thank you, Well, that's it.
Speaker 7: I don't like nobody that much.
Speaker 6: The way, so that apparently is trying to look it
up quickly. That specifically is being addressed apparently by Oasis.
They don't want they don't want these resale sites selling
the tickets.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're warning people not to buy them right.
Speaker 6: Right, Which is interesting because so the way the secondhand
ticket market works is so some of these resale sites,
obviously they're basically scalpers online. You know, they buy up
all these tickets and then they resell them on their
own sites. But some of them, this is what's a
little little dirty about it to some people. Depends on
we could actually do a whole segment on this one
of these days. Sometimes the resale site isn't necessarily a
scalper site. Sometimes it's a resale site that is in
some way affiliated with the main site. So for example, Ticketmaster,
I forget what they're like, there's a there's another site
that's like a reseller, but but they actually just get
like they're actually owned by ticket Master. It's it's all
very weird and it's a little dirty, this this business
whole thing is.
Speaker 7: And the thing I don't understand that they do, though,
is that the the AP talks about how the the
bands are warning people not to buy them, that they're
saying that these tickets are either counterfeit or they're getting
canceled by the promoter. So if these tickets show up
on secondary sites, they're actually getting canceled, right, and you've
got a nothing ticket?
Speaker 1: Which how do they get away with doing that?
Speaker 6: Which I don't understand, which I've never seen that before,
where these tickets are are actually getting canceled, I.
Speaker 7: Don't understand how that works.
Speaker 6: It's yeah, it's it's a tangled, tangled web this business.
Remember years and years ago when Pearl Jam tried to
take on Ticketmaster and how that the end they ended
up giving up.
Speaker 7: A boocket Master's quite the giants.
Speaker 6: But yeah, so Variety has this story up. Oasis warns
against reselling as fans report technical issues getting tickets for
the reunion tour. Yeah, because you know, you try to
get the tickets, you end up in it's like when
you're trying to buy them. It's like when you're trying
to call some customer service line and you're put into
a queue, and you know, and your waighttime is three
hours and fifty eight minutes, you know estimated waytime, and
then you know an hour later, your estimated waytime is
now three hours and fifty one minutes and you don't
know if you're ever going to get through, and then
eventually you just get hung up on it. It's like that.
But but so then so they try to buy these tickets,
so then they go to one of the secondary sites.
So here's what Variety is reporting. Oasis fans aren't finding
much glory this morning while trying to buy tickets for
the band's highly anticipated reunion tour, with many reporting technical issues.
I'm gonna skip down, okay, so it says here it's
part of this we covered already. So in a statement
of Variety, Ticketmaster set its site had not crashed and
the queue is moving along. Well, I suppose if you're
sitting there, by the way, if you're sitting there at
your computer on the site, you know it maybe it
crashes or maybe your browser is having an issue. You
can't be sure, but most likely it crashed, and I
think the ticketmaster is probably just not being honest. But okay,
so I know it's shocking. So a spokesperson said, quote
as anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site so
have been placed in a queue. Fans are advised to
hold their place in line, make sure they're only using
one tab clear cookies, and I'm sure they aren't using
any VPN software on their device. Unquote.
Speaker 7: You can your everything before you try to buy tickets.
Speaker 6: As fans scrambled for tickets, Oasis repeatedly warned against scams
and ticket reselling. In a message posted to x later
on Saturday morning, the band wrote, quote and by the way,
the band, you know, it's not like one of the
gallaghers is actually writing this. Obviously it's management, but this
is what was written. Quote. Please note Oasis Live twenty
five tickets can only be resold at face value via
at Ticketmaster UK and at twickets. Tickets appearing on other
secondary ticketing sites are either counterfeit or will be canceled
by the promoters unquote. Soon after the presale for the
tour started on Friday night, tickets began appearing on reselling
websites such as stub hub and via go Go for
as much as six thousand whatever that is pounds. I
guess a face value for a standing ticket to the
tour is one hundred and fifty pounds, and seated tickets
up to two hundred five pounds. By the way stub Hub,
I think stub Hub is the site, the secondary quote
unquote secondary site that is actually owned by ticket masters.
Oh no, kidden, I believe it's stub Hub. The other
two websites, gigs and Tour and see Tickets, were reported
to be holding fans in a temporary queue before directing
them to the purchase page. But uh yeah, so so
the band's management is warning, you know, don't go to
these secondary sites. I'm gonna look this up really quickly.
I want to know if I'm right about that.
Speaker 7: If I was actually just trying to look that up too,
but I didn't quite get this stub Hub computer. My
computer slowed down.
Speaker 6: Well that I suggest. If that's the case, I must
clear my cookies. Take ticketmaster's advice. Uh clear, Yes, clear
your cookies and your cash and uh no VPNs.
Speaker 7: I don't even know if I have that.
Speaker 6: Okay, I was wrong. StubHub is not owned by ticket Master.
StubHub is privately owned. Maybe it's seat geek there. There
is a secondary company, a secondary market company that is
owned by a Ticketmaster. But uh yeah, so that's what's
going on there. I think that, Uh, I do think
the tour will happen again. Like I said, there's a
lot of cynicism online, you know, there was I remember
back when Oasis first got really big. There's there's actually
an EP, you know, a bootleg that someone put out
or a CD of one of their I think it's
called Sibling Rivalry, and it's they were in the studio
and someone left the tape rolling on an argument that
Nolan William Gallagher were having in studio where they're yelling
at each other, and it's I'm sure it's on YouTube.
It's kind of interesting. I pull it up and play it,
but there's definitely profanity in it. So but uh yeah,
so that's uh, that's what's going on with Oasis there.
So I don't know if there are they planning to
come to the United States. They must be.
Speaker 7: Ticket Master also owns Live Nation.
Speaker 6: Yes, they are one and the same and have been
for a long time, to the chagrin of some people
who believe that that is a monopoly and that that
merger should not have been approved by the government. But
we won't get into all of that.
Speaker 7: They also acquired front Gate Tickets. Uh that's another company. Yeah,
they apparently acquired.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they gobble up a lot of these smaller ticket companies.
Speaker 7: But there's another one called the Universe that they got
that's a DIY ticketing platform.
Speaker 9: Really.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I'm just getting kick at all the stuff
they own here.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they try to good tickets, front Gate tickets, Yeah,
they got that one too. But there's a major one
that everyone's heard of, and I can't remember who it.
Speaker 7: Is upgraded Birt's physical tickets into digital ones.
Speaker 6: Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe there isn't. Maybe there isn't. I
thought it was a big one that people have heard of,
like stub Hub that everyone's just kind of aware of,
but they try to but they try to conceal that
they're actually owned by a ticketmaster. Maybe I'm wrong. Well,
we'll move on because we have another speaking of people
not getting along well in music, No, but see this
is positive because this is an example of people being
able to put their differences aside for the music. Because
as the Gallagher brothers obviously have had to put their
differences aside to reunite Oasis and do this tour, the
members of Journey, our friends Jonathan Kane and Neil Sean
have also put their difference Well, actually, I don't think
they've put their differences aside necessarily, but there has been
a datunt because if you've been paying any attention to this,
you know that they're in the middle of this stadium tour.
Journey is they're out on the road with Death Leopard,
so doing a stadium tour, it's big business. And you've
got band members suing each other while they're on tour
and over some disagreements of how money is spent by
the company that they are directors of. They each own
fifty percent or have fifty percent control I should say
not necessarily ownership, but Jonathan Kane and Neil Sean each
having fifty percent control over this company, and they each
like to spend a lot of money and then they
get mad at the other and it's a whole thing.
We talked about this a couple of weeks ago on
the show. This is being reported by I like to
give the site credit Digitalmusicnews dot com, which is a
great site. Don't stop believing in a Journey World tour.
The band is back on the road as members settle
their legal differences. Really and here's how they did it.
And this is one of the oddcons Now that's impressive.
It's all good, it's all good. It says, don't stop
believing is in the possibility of a unified journey, which
has seemingly seen members Jonathan Kane and Neil Sean put
their latest dispute to rest. There will be others, I'm
sure in the future, as history tells us, but that
we reported closer to August. So the beginning of August
so going on about a month centered on touring related
disagreements between Cain and Sean, with each possessing a fifty
percent interest in the companies responsible for handling journeys dealings,
the veteran musicians have for years clashed over expenses and
a whole lot else. As it pertains to one of
the company's Freedom twenty twenty, the two couldn't agree on
matters including tour accommodation expenditures, security costs, the employment status
of various personnel and more. Alleged unilateral spending on the
part of Sean was a particularly significant issue. Caine described, Yeah,
when we talked about this before, we talked about you know, spending,
you know, ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 7: Station of a ten thousand dollars hotel room. Yep, yep,
I bet that really exists too.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I believe it and maxed out company credit cards.
And the thing about personnel differences, you know, apparently on
the current tour, you know, one of the members Sean
or Kane, might fire somebody and then the other member
is upset and hires that person back. Just a lot
of dysfunction. I read too. There was even some disagreement
between them about whether or not Jonathan Kane should be
playing guitar on the song Wheel in the Sky. Why not, Well,
he's technically he's the keyboard player, but he does play guitar.
He does, so what don't play guitar?
Speaker 7: Well, he plays on somebody else's he plays.
Speaker 6: He plays rhythm guitar on Stone and Love. There's I
think there's a couple Stone and Love. But but he
has to write that song would sound really strange with
one guitar, So he plays rhythm guitar on that. Neil
Sean of course the lead player on that and I Live.
I think he's always also played on Wheel in the Sky.
But I guess there was a disagreement, like Shawn didn't
want him to play guitar on Wheel in the Sky
or something really weird. So according to this, so it
says the hang ups which brought about the cancelation of
the UK leg of the band's ongoing tour, came to
light in late July, and a late July filing submitted
by Kin to the Delaware Chancery Court. In the action,
the seventy four year old asked the court to appoint
a third party director to Freedom twenty twenty so as
to remedy the deadlock between him and Sean, who held
all voting rights over so many of the famed rock
group's business moves. Given the fifty to fifty voting rights structure,
it was proving excuse me, excuse me, exceedingly difficult to
agree on operational details and to appoint another director, Caine
explained in more words. Furthermore, the announcement arrived after Shan
last week acknowledged that he and Kan quote don't always
see eye to eye on everythings or sometimes on pretty
much anything unquote, But the seventy year old also expressed
a desire to bring on the third party director and
move past the friction on the tour as the tour
could proceed, So the tour could proceed running. With that point,
the fresh statement from Kane's legal team reads quote, mister
Seawan is prohibited from unilaterally acting on behalf of the company.
In all future deadlock between mister Kane and mister Sean
will be broken by the vote of the custodian, so
just a third party to be a tiebreaker. Effectively, as
scheduled this tour, we'll see Journey perform in San Diego tonight,
play four more state side shows through September eighth, head
to Brazil and Chile later that same month, and then
entertain fans in Japan while in New October. At present,
the group doesn't appear to have rescheduled the previously noted
UK dates, which had originally been teed up to begin
in October as well. Well, yeah, and that's going to
be hard for them to just reschedule those. I mean,
they're on, you know, because it's not just them, they're
on this stadium tour with def Leopard. So well, we'll
see how long this lasts and how long that the
dayton remains. And one other thing we can get into
before we hit the top of the hour, because we
do talk on the show a lot about AI and
concerns people have about AI.
Speaker 16: Yeah, this is.
Speaker 6: Trying to click this link here. This is something that
you brought to my attention. Yeah, this is from BuzzFeed.
Don't be swindled. Here's why Tom Hanks issued a public
service announcement about some AI ads. It says Tom Hanks. Yeah, yeah,
he says. Tom Hanks has issued a strong statement against
medical ads made with AI that fraudulently uses his name, likeness,
and voice. In an Instagram post on Thursday, the actor
made what he called the public service announcement and captioned
the statement extra extra read all about it. There are
multiple ads over the internet falsely using my name, likeness,
and voice promoting Miracle cure and Wonder drugs, he wrote.
While Hanks didn't specify which specific medical ads he was opposing,
he clarified quote, these ads have been created without my consent,
fraudulently and through AI. I have nothing to do with
these posts, or the products and treatments, or the spokespeople
touting these cures unquote. Hanks revealed in twenty thirteen that
he has type two diabetes and noted in his Instagram
posts that he only works with Board certified doctors regarding
his treatment. He handed his statement with three directives, Don't
be fooled, don't be swindled, and don't lose your hard
earned money.
Speaker 7: And this is again what we've been talking about a
lot recently, is about people controlling their own images and likenesses. Yeah,
you know, and as AI becomes more and more prevalent,
is going to be more and more of these type
of situations. You really got to be careful. Yeah, I mean,
it looks like them, it sounds like them, but it's
not them, right, and that's scary. Yeah, but you know what,
you really shouldn't be taking medical advice from any ad.
I In my perfect world, medical ads don't exist because
they are not helpful. They try to They convince people
they need stuff they don't need, or they need things
that cost more money than they don't really need. Like,
there's no good reason for this. Your doctor can tell
you what you need. You don't need an ad on
TV trying to force feed you. You must take this pill.
Your life will be better if you just take this pill, right,
you know, at the magic pill. The snake oil salesman
has always existed and will always exist in our society.
Is just now they're coming in the form of AI,
which makes it even scarier because you can't tell the difference.
Speaker 6: Yeah, although when it comes to voices, it seems to
me that, I mean, you could do that anyway, you like,
you don't need AI to replicate someone's voice. You just
need someone who can do a good impression.
Speaker 7: Right, But this isn't that. This is them replicating his likeness,
his image.
Speaker 16: Right right?
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, his image.
Speaker 16: It looks like he's.
Speaker 7: Saying these things and he's endorsing them and saying, look,
Tom Hanks says, this pills great for you, so I'll
take it too, because you know, he's a great guy.
He's so wholesome and nice, and we love Tom Hanks,
so we must trust Tom Hanks. And so if you
don't want to feel that way, then listen to heat
his words, because he's telling you it's not him. He
didn't give him permission. And these companies shouldn't be able
to do that, but they're getting away with it because
we don't have strong enough laws to control AI, to
protect artists and entertainers, so they can control their images
and how they're seen and what's coming out of their mouths,
because they can make you say anything, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I felt from the beginning when I the first
time I ever saw Tom Hanks in that TV show
Bus and Buddies, I thought, I trust this man, Peter
Sculleri not so much.
Speaker 7: Terrible.
Speaker 6: Remember that show was some Buddies I do.
Speaker 7: I loved that show. I love But you know, when
I think of Tom Hanks, I always think about Bubba
Gum Shrimp.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 7: Oh yes, I got to go to a Bubba Gum
Shrimp restaurant in Minnesota, and they had like a like that.
They had his suit, white suit with the suitcase, and
they had all kinds and of course they were running
the movie, but they had all kinds of memorabilia and
stuff there. And I of course got the Jenny, which
was shrimp and salmon. Yes, but no, I mean yeah,
I mean he's he's a great People look at Tom
Hanks and they see a trusted person. So when you
think you seeing him telling you this is a great pill,
I take it you should too. It's easy to fall
prey to that.
Speaker 6: Oh of course, yeah absolutely.
Speaker 7: But as technology continues to grow, we need to grow
laws to protect artists.
Speaker 6: What would be the worst is if you start seeing
this kind of thing with somebody like Morgan Freeman, because
isn't he I mean, would you say, Morgan Freeman one
of the most trusted voices.
Speaker 7: To a point, you know, but if he doesn't say
certain words, I don't know that anybody believed there was
him and you can't say those words.
Speaker 6: So Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 7: Oh wait, wrong, guy, I mixed.
Speaker 6: You're thinking of Samuel L. Jackson.
Speaker 7: I was, Yes, yes, I had him in my head
for some reason.
Speaker 6: He's not always a potty mouth. I see him in
commercials where he keeps it clean. But no Morgan Freeman.
Though everyone trusts Morgan Freeman, how can you not? As
we approach the top of the hour, so we have
Dave Strong joining us in the third hour, correct, yes,
and so looking forward to that. But before we have
a little bit of time left, I want to play
a song from our new friends in the band Under
the Horizon, because we went to see Under the Horizon
last Sunday at the Tupelo. Yes, they were opening for
Great White.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: They also played a second show at the Tupolo last night.
They were opening for Queen's Reich. Of course sold out show. Yeah,
great pictures online. So uh, looking forward to helping them
with their their radio. Endeavor's got a lot going on
but I've had this particular track stuck in my head.
Oh and by the way, I should mention too Tony Petrello,
who of course joins us Friday nights on Retrospection Radio
with poly C. When he came in last night, he
was telling me how much he He couldn't remember which
song it was, but one of the songs from Uh
under the Horizon he really really loved. But I'm gonna
play the one that I woke up with stuck. You know,
when I wake up in the morning and I always
have a song stuck in my head some more than others.
Speaker 7: Stuck in your head?
Speaker 6: Well, uh Unicycle by uh Jerry and the Sky that
gets stuck, that get stuck in my head a lot.
That's why I played a lot uh not uh not
coming back by day to attend that one gets stuck
in my head a lot. There was a Club Paradise single,
not the new one, but the previous one that got
stuck in my head a lot. But today I woke
up with within my eyes from Under the Horizon stuck
in my head. So we're gonna play that, and then
we'll show some love to our amazing sponsors, and then
