because I just love it so much. And uh, that's a great song.

But no, it's the Don't Be a Stranger. I think it's called

or Stranger. Maybe it's just Stranger. Yeah, really that is a great

song. I told them, I said, you've got a hit single there.

Yeah. I just played out in Worcester last night. I was hoping

to go, but I didn't go. But really yeah, yeah it was

it was yeah, there's they're starting to make some good noise. The other

thing I always say about them too is no disrespect to Fleetwood Mac. But

they played the best version of Rihanna and I've ever heard in this studio.

Yeah thatsion, Yeah, just acoustic. It came out really cool. Oh

it was so good. I mean being here in the room too, you

know. I mean, you know, I'm sure it sounded okay on the

radio, but being here in the room, you know what I mean,

it was like, wow, this is this is truly remark But yeah,

great band. But uh yeah, you guys, we uh we've got some

studio tracks. You sent me three of them and we did open the show

The first song we're gonna do is it's called I May be Right. It's

a song about questioning your choices. All right, you guys ready, we

we are ready? All right? Maybe right, maybe wrong. I guess

I'm sorry it took this long. Go run away when it gets too deep.

Would you like the match? Let it put you back to sleep?

called the I May be right, I may be right. Yeah, that's

a great tround not to be confused with. You know, the Billy Joel

song you may be right, you may be right, you may be right.

No, no, no. When I learned that, or when I

started playing that song out, every time i'd say it, people be like,

oh sweet, and then it'd be that song. They'd be like,

okay, well like in a in a bar open mic, you know,

like people are like, oh, Billy Joel sweet, and then you're like,

actually it's like a softer original song. Okay, like this is cool,

but yeah, the bass is just dropped and then the piano man,

Yeah, we we have a call. Hi, welcome to Matt Conderton on

Leash two is on the line. Well, yeah, this is Doug and

actually sorry to interrupt your programming. I just called because when I got out

of work this morning, I was on the way home and listened to your

station and Maggie Hassen came on. You guys were talking about election day in

New Hampshire today. Is that is there election day in New Hampshire today?

No, what you probably heard was, oh, actually I know what you

definitely heard. The Morning Show with Peter White. He runs classic episodes on

Saturday, so the show's on weekdays from seven to nine am. I understand.

But yes, of course you can hear the Morning Show with Peter White

weekdays from seven to nine am, with a replay two to four pm.

But of course on Saturday mornings, Peter does run classic episodes of the Morning

Show, so hence the confusion. But I do commend Doug on his paying

attention to his civic duty, and that is that is a great thing.

oh geez, Jeff and I and just read my mind. He's asking a

question in the chatterman it was about It was literally what I was just about

to ask you. I think we're we have a telepathic connection. Jeff is

asking how did the name Glittertooth come to be? Okay, I'm gonna pass

this one over to the sturdy beard, all right, sexy gentleman over here.

I tell this story because we got together. We we all met at

Phil hosted an open mic for a while, and then he decided not to

do it anymore. So I took it over, and then we met.

I met Taylor threw that open mic, and so we decided, hey,

we should form a band and we'll get together and see what happened. So

we got together in Taylor's barn and played and it sounded pretty good. So

we decided to get together the next week. And in between those two weeks,

I had to have a tooth pull, so I was that was you

know, I was that night. I was recovering all hopped up on the

legal yeah yeah, stuff that they gave me to and I had your dream

and in the dream, I was, and I was in a band called

Glittertooth, and I was like, oh, So the next time we had

practice, I said, hey, you guys are gonna hate this name,

but I dreamt it that it was glittering. I was in a band called

Glittertooth, and they both loved it. So thank you. Thank your hydro

code. On when we go on tour, we're gonna have sponsored by whoever

it makes that because that's where the name came from. But it was a

fever dream and from henceforth we are glitter Tooth. Very nice, very nice.

two five six seven six O three two five six seven, the studio line

is open. I see peter O Peloquin in the Facebook. That's uh,

sorry to interrupt you, but no, that's that's Pete Pelican Lord Lord boards

that call him. He's he owns the the recording studio Board's house Productions and

Brookline. That's where we're doing our recording. Oh, excell everything you hear

is recorded. Is he just makes us sound good? So that's Pete Pelquin,

Thank you, Pete. Also, Dan Fallon is in the Facebook live

chat from the band Run Like Thieves, who we had on last week.

Just phenomenal. Yeah, now the the studio tracks and we'll play another studio

track in a moment too. We played Amigo earlier. Well, we'll play

another one. But were these the ones that we're hearing today? Were these

all also recorded with Peter Pelloquin? Okay, okay, yeah, it all

sounds great? Does he? I know that oftentimes, and partly from my

own experience and partly from talking to guests, it seems like very often whomever

records you, if if you know an audio engineer, they often become sort

of a de facto producer. Do you have that kind of relationship with him?

Doesn't have a lot of Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. He helps us,

like when we're doing solos or you know, if if all three of

us are a little unsure about something, he's like the wisdom that'll kind of

like pull us together and yeah, either come up with a better idea for

us or just help us. He'll be like the deal breaker. Okay,

okay. And Board's house is where The Fox and the Flamingos recorded too,

so oh okay, work was done there. Yeah, oh wow, Yeah,

he's he's really good boards house Productions Rubin of the area. Yeah,

he's the wizard behind the board. How did you come to work with him?

Because you know, we live in an era where you've got so many

different options as far as how you know, there's many different recording studios.

Also, you can record it funny, I'll jump I think I'll jump in

here. That uh, that open mic that you guys were talking about,

so uh, Phil was hosting that, doing that open mic, and then

I took it over for Pete. He took for Pete and then they started

doing It's like everybody in the area was I. I probably I got offered

to host it like many times, and I just like, I don't want

to do it. Yeah I could have been. I could have been the

next guy. But it was like yeah, but yeah, it's just like

a lot of really like you said, and it's like a lot of talented

musicians or whatever in that that area the MILF, A lot of knowledgeable people,

really cool people like yeah, Pete's one of our go to guys.

So we're all really close to like, the whole scene is really close in

a sense where, like you know, if somebody needs a bass player for

a gig, or like somebody needs a guitar player needs to record somewhere,

like we all just kind of work together, and like we'll send whoever is

asking if they need to record, We'll send him to Pete's. You know,

he's our guy. He also lives like ten minutes away from all of

us. He's yeah Taylor basically Taylor's neighbors. So yeah, yeah, you're

you're You're playing guitar with some cool band tonight, aren't you. Oh yeah,

would you like to tell him about that? Yeah? The band all

you? Phil fills one of our my regular band, the Pop Farmers.

We were playing at tonight at the Peddler's Daughter in Nashua and Phil is filling

in on guitar with us, so excellent, Yes, are filling Phil.

It's always fun, always a good I just get to sit back and play

guitar is my favorite thing. Yeah, what do you know? What do

you do in the Pop Farmers? It's a we play a lot of classic

rock, but we play a lot of Irish bars, so we do some

Irish stuff too, So I play mandolin on the Irish stuff and then bass

and sing and then yeah, Mike, Gary Blaisdell and and Jim Mahoney there

my regular pop Farmers and uh, we're one man short tonight. So Phil

is filling in excellent, excellent And uh, by the way, so Taylor,

do you play any other bands? And the reason I'm asking, the

reason I'm asking you specifically, well, I was gonna say, so,

Okay, it's funny that you say that, because the reason that I ask

is there's been this trend on the show is playing a lot of bands.

Every drummer we have on the show plays because drummers are high. Yeah,

I was. I was. I'm in another band called Swipe Left with my

you know, a friend of mine, Graham, and this other other friend,

Mike, where we do a lot of covers, but we have some

really cool originals too. And uh, I was in a punk band for

a while, punk metal type band, and we just went on tour to

like New York, Philadelphia, all that type, you know, all over

the place. But that kind of fell apart. I don't know a lot

of whatever I left that band. So, you know, I don't know.

Maybe they're going places I don't know, but but it was cool for

a while. It was it was fun. But you know, I'm playing

honestly right now, I'm only playing in a couple of bands mainly so,

but it's been like six seven however many bands at times, I don't know

how many bands. Wow, yeah, but I'm trying to work on.

I'm happy that I got like a song that I've had for a while that

with this band. Yeah, these are like the guys I wanted to play.

I told Phil years ago. We I don't feel forever now like it's

been like, hey man, I'm gonna do this song. I want you

to play drums on it. Yeah, so another dream, you know,

so you know, because I play guitar and do that stuff too, So

it's like I want to get some of those out there. But yeah,

yeah, drummers playing are always in high to band. That should be our

slogan. You're at Glitter Tooth we make dreams come true. That's true.

All started from a dream. Very good man. Well let's let's listen to

another studio track. We've got this song saved myself from me and so,

by the way, just to just so we're clear too, So are these

play a little more for us. But uh, check it out. This

is Save Myself from Me and the band is Glitter Tooth. Some waste my

this morning. We are, of course, uh live from the studios of

w m n H ninety five point three FM and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New

Hampshire. And uh, yeah, you guys sound great, getting a lot

of love in the Facebook live chat. I like that a lot. Thanks,

Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Now how many how many originals do

you guys have in terms of uh? I assume you have more than what

you're recording, right because you're you're doing an EP. But have you written

a lot of songs or do you have a lot of songs as a band?

A lot of original music? We have like probably eight okay eight,

maybe ten total. Yeah, we've like played we actually played a show in

Manchester at a distillery not long ago. Yeah, Manchester's Distillery. That was

That was a lot of fun. Yeah, and we played a full set

of originals and the Black Keys track, but that was about eight songs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very good. Do you have any

Are there any other bands in the area that you that you play out with

a lot, you know sometimes I mean it just really happens organically in my

experience. Sometimes bands kind of team up with other bands or you know,

play a lot of shows together. Not really lately or not yet, at

least we've recording, well, we've been recording a lot. The other thing

is this started out as like a cover gig scenario in the sense where we

were, you know, taking gigs at bars where we'd play the three hour

shows. Yeah, get paid a flat rate, you know, you get

tips. Like, so we were focusing on like learning songs. We have

probably thirty or forty songs that we know, covers that we could play like

all together. Yeah, and then all of a sudden we started diving into

the original stuff. And it's been fairly recently, i'd say, right,

like yeah, within the last couple of months even, and we've just kind

of gone full steam ahead on writing and recording honestly, like like really we've

phil has like this extensive list of like song he has like albums full of

original I've been writing for a long time, songs that he's just recorded,

and like we're just working on making those into our own I guess glitter too,

putting the glitter and they're just like like his songs are just like all

kind of like finished and like like we're just making them different. I've got

some songs that originals that I'm trying to like work and do it. Dan

has originals that maybe we'll probably work into them later, and we're just trying

to like get all of our own stuff out there. He'll just had like

something like these are these are done like just like like sing singer songwriter.

You know, I write a lot of songs. It's kind of like by

nature my job. Yeah, it's been it's been fun though. It's been

cool to ye to do that and put on all of our own Philip.

Philip was pretty uh pretty out there for a while. Yeah, So I

did like the solo thing. I went under the name Philipe and I've recorded

some albums, put out some stuff on like Spotify and all that whole thing,

but it was always it was a solo project where I would record the

bass and the drums and the guitar and like do all the arrangements for it.

And then sometimes I'd bring a band in and we'd play live here and

there, but all the recordings was it was kind of created in a vacuum,

you know. Yeah, So like I've just been having a lot more

fun in the band experience and taking those songs that like, yeah, they're

finished, but like they were recorded like very rigid, you know, like

here's the drum part. It'd be like a straight something boring, you know,

because I'm not a drummer. So having like an actual drummer and an

actual bass player and the whole collaborative effort is so much more fun. Yeah,

no doubt. But it definitely it yielded a lot of songs, which

I'm grateful for. Yeah. Yeah, And so the material that you released

as Felip, that's all on Spotify and every yea yeah, interesting band camp,

Spotify, all those random sites SoundCloud, I think, yeah, SoundCloud,

And does any of that music is any of that music currently being played

in this spand or is this all? Yeah? So were most of them

really? Yeah? Some of them? Yeah, definitely. Yeah. The

three that you or the three that we have today. Only one of those

was recorded beforehand as a Philip track, okay, and that one is not

on Spotify, that's just on band camp. But the other two were like

brand new, like glittertooth songs. Okay, they haven't been released elsewhere,

you know. Yeah, when we started, we were doing a lot of

well all covers at the beginning, and these guys looking at them, they're

they're young enough to be my my kids, and they're they're turning me onto

like we did the Man of Me and it was the old Dylan song.

I've never heard it before, and these guys turned it out, turned me

onto them, like, oh, that Bob Dylan guy, he's going to

be pretty good. Who's this guy? And so yeah, So these guys,

even though they're they're youngsters, they're old souls and they they they know

a lot of a lot of songs and they're bringing dragging me with them.

So it's cool, it's awesome. Well you've introduced them to spinal tap.

Yeah, no, great, great, music is timeless though, and I

feel like what what you guys are doing, especially when I listen to these

studio tracks, it's you know it it's uh, there's a timelessness to it,

and that it doesn't sound like like if if somebody played these songs for

me and I didn't know that it was a current band, you know,

I might not know, Like if somebody played these songs for me and said

when do you think these were recorded? I I wouldn't necessarily know, you

know what I mean, which which I which I think is a good thing.

You know, you know, there's there's a timelessness to it. You

know, I can hear different influences. But uh, but but but it

doesn't sound like there's nothing dated about it. Specifically, Oh speaking a spinal

tap, Michael Albert is making requests in the chat room. He says,

uh, play big Bottom or or play that baseline. I don't think you

can play it on that baby, Yeah, it might break the base.

We have a I do a show on Friday nights. I'm the co host

on a show called retro Spectrum Radio with poly C and Paul has never seen

spinal tap, and we uh, we like to we like to bust his

stones about that. Sometimes he's never seen that, and he's never seen Purple

Rain. I thought you talked, I've never seen Purple Rain. Purple Rain.

But to be fair, I love Prince, but I think spinal type

more. Yeah. I agree, actually, and I've listened to like most

of the Prince's albums. I was telling them talking to my wife about spinal

Tap. And there was used to be a movie theater on where the old

Union Leader used to be. Whatever road that was in here, I don't

know what one of these streets over here, and it was a little,

a little movie theater. And I went to see it when it first came

out, and it was so cool to me. I got done, I

went back out into theater, bought another ticket, and went back in and

saw two ice in a row. Oh it was awesome. Yeah, I

think I think the second time I was the only one in the theater,

but it was it was I was. I saw it and I was like

to see this again, and I was like, well, I got nothing

to do, I'll go buy another ticket. I should have just hit out.

And this was spinal Tap. Yeah, this was like for my generation

probably when I saw Tenacious T in the Picadestiny. Oh yeah, I saw

it today. It came out with my friends. We were like the only

four people in the theater. Came out. Yeah, we went to go

the next week. It wasn't It wasn't theaters anymore. That's how bad it

did. It wasn't even there. My friend Robert and I went down to

there. It was either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. When Spinal Tap was doing

the on they called it unwigged. It was just the three they did.

They did it acoustic. It was just the three of them. I was

really good Spinal Tap unplugged. It was just weird. But and they were

dressed normally they weren't dressed, thanks spinal Tap. But it was so it

was really cool. I love it. Yeah. Well, do you guys,

uh, do you guys want to do one more? Uh? Did

you want to do a fourth live song? Yeah? Sure, you talked

about it. We've we've got time if you want to. I'd love to

hear more. Okay, so we can do one more selfishly perhaps, but

I think you guys sound great. Well. This this is one of the

phils that I always request the fulfill to play and I don't know if he's

getting tired of playing it, but it's like you never Well, the first

time I saw him play though, Yeah, the first time I saw him

play it, I thought it was a cover because it was so cool.

I was like, who's that buy? And he's like me, I'm like,

oh, that was really awesome. Oh wow, Well, now I

really want to hear it. I've never played on the radio before, it

has not. Yes, yeah, it's a it's a personal song to me.

It tends to be a fan favorite, which is interesting because when I

first wrote it, I didn't think anything of it at all. I was

like, it's cool, it's done. It's a song. You know,

there's like songs you finish and you like get excited about. You're like,

oh, this one's gonna be like it. This is the song. This

was not it at all to me at least, it was just like it.

I don't know, it was personal, but like it didn't feel like

anything. And then all of a sudden, like everywhere I go, people

are like, that's the song, is alright, it's called new Skin.

They're right, you're Sometimes I will on a song that you will sing me

to sleep. Sometimes I wish on a god got awake up and brand new

set of skins. Sometimes I sing to the bugs in my room, sometimes

they sing to sleep. Sometimes I wish I want an empty liquor ble that

awake up the Brandy set of Scared. Sometimes I pray to franticke int sometimes

a lesson with me. Sometimes I sing to an empty back. I want

a wake up. The brand is set of Scared, Brandy sadiscared, BRANDI

Sada scared, Brandy sudden scared. That is awesome. All right, thank

you. The chat room thinks so too. In fact, Okay, I

don't know if I'm saying this right, Kaylee, Kaylee Verville, Kayleiver.

Hello, Kaylee. She says, uh hah, the down tuning gave it

away, so I'm sure it very well. Yeah, she says, I'm

so glad I made it to the live chat for this, And Michael James

says, new skin, what's my bass player? Yeah? Uh yep,

Kaylee says, uh, I'm listening with chills and tears in my eyes.

Wow, we love you, Kaylee. Don't cry, there are tears of

joy. Don't cry. We should have brought her with it. We should

have next time, next time, right, that's right, that's right.

Uh, Lou love it. Uh in the chat room says sturdy beards are

hot. Wow, So you didn't even to be here. I don't need

to be here either, Just send my beard and Lou love it also says

I can give a shameless plug on Thursday nights. These guys haven't been up

there yet because they work and I don't. But on Thursday nights up in

Pittsfield, New Hampshire, I host an open mic at over the Moon Farmstead

and it's it's turning out to be really cool. It's it's turning into like

we were talking about the Milford music community, and it's kind of I grew

up in Derry and when I was playing there. There may be a music

scene in Derry now, but there wasn't when I was in there. And

when I moved to Milford, I was like, holy crap, look at

all these musicians there everywhere. And then up at Pittsfield with the open mic,

I didn't know anybody up there, and now we're starting it's starting to

be a little community up there too. So it's pretty cool that like most

of my friends now or either musicians or I met through the band. So

yeah, it's it's a really cool circle of people to be in with what

was the name of the place again again, over the Moon Farmstead. Nice

it's the owners are the Moonlight Meter in Londonderry. They they have a place

up in Pittsfield. It's beautiful and up on Thursday nights. It's an open

the Secret Chambers of an evil Silent number Hire. What do you know about

Han Heyler's Like a king on that island, totally self sufficient of fortress,

without walls, protected by an invincible army that needs no ordinary weapons. This

is Enter the Dragon, the first martial arts film produced by a major Hollywood

studio. John Saxon is roper. He was in it for the money.

US Karate champion Jim Kelly. As Williams, he was there because he had

no choice. Black Belt Hall of Fame, undisputed martial arts champion and international

film star Bruce Lee. His job was to get them out alive. I'm

hoping you'll join us, represent us in the United States. You want me

to join this roper Williams and Lee. Just when they think they've broken the

secret of the Island, they find there is no escape from the inscrutable Han.

Warner Brothers presents Enter the Dragon, where the world's greatest martial arts athletes

meet the automate challenge with the most patient and deadly of weapons, the human

brother Enter the Dragon from Warner Brothers Bruce Lee. Even over fifty years after

his death, his name hearkens to martial arts. His contributions to worldwide cinema

cannot be understated, and with one film, he brought martial arts films to

the popular consciousness of America, a country that once shunned him. Sadly,

he was never alive to see its enduring legacy that lasts to this Day,

released in nineteen seventy three and directed by Robert Klauss, Went to the Dragon

gives us the tale of Lee played by Bruce Lee, a martial arts master

tasked with entering a martial arts tournament hosted by the deadly Han, a renegade

monk that has become a crime lord. In Lee is tasked with uncovering his

criminal empire. Joining Lee in the tournament is the gambling addicted businessman Roper,

played by screen legend John saxon In Williams played by American martial arts master Jim

Kelly. Our first clip is Lee being presented with the mission. I chose

this scene because it presents the dark and mysterious nature of Han, a man

that lives in a fortress like mansion and it's only opened up for this martial

arts tournament. This is a trope regarding villains now commonly seen in martial arts

films that began with this very film. But do you know abou Han?

He lives like a king on that island, totally self sufficient. All of

his efforts seemingly are directed towards supporting what he calls his school of martial arts.

Han's only contact with the outside world. Is this tournament which he holds

every three years. This was a stewardess, Mary King, found floating in

the harbor. Nothing unusual about a body in the harbor, but this girl

was last seen at a party aboard hans private junk. They'd reported a lost

at sea before the body was found. We believe he selects attractive girls and

methodically builds their dependence on drugs, then sells them to an elite cleontelle around

the world. What did he autopsy review at the cause of death? She

did not drown, she ordeed er. Yes, cause of death was a

heroin overdose. I gather you still don't have enough to bust up his operation.

We know everything, we can prove nothing. We want you to go

in there as our agent, get us our evidence, and come out in

one piece to give it to you. We'll give you anything you need,

electronic equipment, weapons, anything, drink No thanks, guns now, why

doesn't somebody pour forty five and bang settle it? No? No guns.

Look at this map here. As you know, the possession of a weapon

is a serious offense. Here Hans Island rests partly within our territorial waters.

If we were given the slightest reason to believe that he has any kind of

arsenal, we'd move in on him. Besides, Hahn would never allow guns

on the island anyway. He had a bad experience with them once and he's

fearful of assassination. Can't really blame him. Any bloody fool can pull a

trigger. I guess I won't need anything. There's a radio on the island.

We'll be monitoring it on the chance that you can get to it,

and then you come someone will. We aren't an agency of enforcement. We

function as gatherers of information, evidence upon which interested governments can act. I

see if there's any trouble, you make a phone call. Oh, by

the way, two months ago we managed to place a female operative on the

island. Since then we've lost her. If she's still there, she might

have something names a mailing. Sure you won't have one, no, thank

yes. Martial arts films have a very distinct way of showing us, the

viewer, the difference between heroes and villains. The heroes or good guys look

at martial arts as a way of life, a way of living that one

should not fight and use it unless provoked as a means of defense. Villains

look at it as a way of force, a way to intimidate and consolidate

power. Our next two clips show this. First, in a brief clip,

we hear Han show off his treasures to Roper that he has acquired through

criminal activity. Then, in an early clip from the film, we will

hear Lee speak to his martial arts master. Of note, here is the

piece in ease that Lee's master carries compared to Han in the way that he

explains Lee's martial arts skills as being a part of him and not a skill.

Learn this is my museum. It is difficult to associate these horrors with

the proud civilizations that created them. Sparta Rome, the Knights of Europe,

the Samurai. They worship strength because it is strength that makes all other values

possible. Nothing survives without it. Who knows what delicate wonders have died out

of the world for want of the strength to survive? What's this? Oh,

a souvenir? And now Lee and his master. I see your talents

have gone beyond the mere physical level. Your skills are now at the point

of spiritual insight. I have several questions. What is the highest technique you

hope to achieve. Do we have no technique? Very good? What are

your thoughts when facing an opponent? There is no opponent? Then? Why

is that? Because the word I does not exist? So continue. A

good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously. A good

martial artist does not become tense but ready, not thinking yet not dreaming,

ready whatever may come. When the opponent expand, I contract. When it

contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, I do not

it. It hits all by itself. No, you must remember the enemy

has only images and illusions behind which he hides his true motives. Destroy the

image and he will break the enemy. The it that you refer to is

a powerful weapon, easily misused by the martial artist who deserves his thoughts.

For centuries now the code of the Charlin Temple has been preserved. Remember the

honor of our brotherhood has been held true. Tell me now the short in

Commandment number thirteen, A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept

the consequences of his own doing. Prior to the release of this film,

Bruce Lee was known in America. This was through his films from Golden harvest

over in Hong Kong that had found their way to the States in his time

playing Cato in the short lived American television series The Green Hornet, but this

film made him a global legend that endears to this day. Our final clip

will be Lee's daughter Shannon Saxon and actor Bob Wall not just talking about Lee

in this film, but his long lasting, ever reaching legacy. Everywhere they

know who my father is and they've been touched in some way, inspired in

some way, or just excited in some way, and it's such a blessing.

I now work doing things for the legacy, for through my foundation and

through our licensing business and that sort of thing. But I'm just so amazed

and so inspired on a daily basis. And it's really why I want to

do what I do in keeping the legacy alive, because I'm inspired by it.

If you know, there hadn't been that depth of philosophy behind it,

if there hadn't been so much more to it and so much authenticity to it,

then I don't know that I'd be doing what I'm doing today. I

had been doing things like judo and Japanese karate and stuff like that. A

good bit and I would ask him, what do you think i'd try to

do this kind of thing. He said, that's pretty good. Tried that,

and we were working like that all the time. You know, you

know, it probably didn't mean it. But when I got to Hong Kong,

I was there with my wife and my son, who was not yet

two years old. And the next day I went to see Bruce and he

brought me into his house. He was waiting to see me, and then

I saw he had a gym, and I looked at it and reminded me

of what I had a little bit of at my home, you know.

And we began to talk this and that, and he was telling me things

what he could do with kettlebells and stuff and things that I had little contact

with at that time. And we kept going on and on and on,

and then all of a sudden he began to tell me, show me how

you do your sitkick. And I said, okay, But I had done

a scene at the park about two three weeks or four weeks prior where I

had sprained my ankle. And I said, oh, well, all right,

he's wanting to do this with me, I'll do it, you know.

So all of a sudden, I threw a kick, and then he

said, let me show how I do mine, and he did. He

moved around with a chair and I didn't know what he was doing, you

know, I was looking over his shoulder like that, and all of a

sudden he stood in front of me for about fifteen feet or something like that,

and he did a hot skip and a jump and hit a bag,

you know, and he knocked me clear across on my heels, like there's

going into a chair like that, and the chair fell down and broke,

and I got up Linn and I saw he was very kind of quiet and

anxious about this, and I said, listen, it's okay. I mean,

I didn't get hurt. I didn't get hurt. He says, I

know, but that's my best chair. And it was the same chair that

he had everybody else do the same thing with me that I discovered later,

sit behind the stand behind it and then he's kicked and you'd go back and

boom, you'd hit this chair. But I had broken it. I was

the only one that had broken it, okay. I loved Bruce Lee and

we were really close friends for many, many many years over ten and training

partners, and I got five hundred a week when I was making ten to

twelve thousand a week my real estate business. My wife of forty four years

now said why are you doing this? And I just love Bruce. He's

my first close Chinese friend. And I can take these hits and everybody's afraid

of them, and I've been training with them. I can take the hits.

And Bruce wanted to do everything real. He really Freddie and Paul can

tell you they Bruce got hurt a lot in this film. He got bit

by the snake, he got hurt by the windows, he got cut with

a glass scene with me, we're using real bottles, so my pardon it

was. I was really enjoying it. You don't see yourself as a bad

guy all, and my wife does. He thought it was typecasting. I

had so many people over the years say I hated you. I wanted you

dead. Even Freddy said I wanted them to kill you, and he'd even

want to hire me for the part in the beginning. But I really enjoyed

doing it. I loved Bruce, and it was It's like my partner for

forty years is Chuck Norris, and they're both the same Chuck and Bruce,

and people say you've never missed a workout with either one of them? I

said, no, why would you miss a painting lesson from Picasso? In

the world of cinema, words groundbreaking, landmark, in trendsetting are used ad

nauseum. I will admit I'm guilty of over using them even on these reviews.

If there ever was a film deserving of those words, though it is

this film here. It is an understatement to say this film brought martial arts

films to America. It affected many other film genres. This film led to

blaxploitation films and other action films using martial arts as a way of fighting and

not just using guns, knives and explosives. This film has generated an American

gross box office of one hundred and twenty million dollars upon its release, and

to this day it has generated two billion dollars in worldwide box office gross through

its original release and countless re releases. For Lee, it finally made his

dream come true to have jee Kundo, his version of martial arts brought to

the American mainstream. Sadly and tragically, he never had a chance to see

it come to fruition. Lee suddenly passed away July twentieth, nineteen seventy three,

almost two months before the film's American release. However, its influence carries

on, and that is due to Lee, who would have celebrated his eighty

third birthday this past November twenty seventh. To know what American martial arts films

are, one must see where they began, and that is with this action

masterpiece. I hope you join me next week when we will look at the

directorial debuty of screen legend Robert de Niro. Next week's film is a Bronx

Tale starring de Niro in Chaz commentary for WMNH and Matt connorton Unleashed. This

has been a classic film with Eric Hilcher Bosom Bosshushshash, I'm talking to fish.

for yes and you're wearing a did you want to show the shirt that you're

wearing? Pretty late? Great great band. Actually we opened the show today

with one of their songs, Guardrail, which I love but yeah, they

were here last week was the last week or the week before it was last

week together. I chose to wear the T shirt. Yes, yes,

yes, I thought, you know, they gave us these lovely T shirts

and I love their music absolutely. Yeah, great great bands. The decision

to wear the T shirt, yes, yes, we love pretty late let's

see today we had to start off the show. We had Glitter Tooth here.

They played live in studio and shared some of their recorded tracks as well.

Great band. Really really enjoyed having them here. A tremendous amount of

talent here, oh absolutely is anything I've learned after a year of booking bands

the way we've been doing this year. It's amazing how much talent, overflowing

talent we have in New England. Yeah, and I would say too,

uh that that applies to wherever you are, where, wherever you are in

the world. Check out what's going on in your local music scene, because

I guarantee you, uh, there are artists in your local scene just doing

incredible things, and you know, get out and check it out, you

know, uh, go on. You know, a band camp is a

great resource if you want to look for music specifically in your area. Wherever

you are band camp dot Com or you know, go out, go out

and see some live bands. You know, there's there's great talent everywhere.

You know. I've always said, the greatest band that ever lived. For

all we know, we've never even heard them because they just never got famous,

you know, but they're but they're somewhere or they were somewhere. But

I mean, obviously it's all subjective what's great and uh what, but there's

so much great music out there. So yeah, Glittertooth absolutely amazing. Really

enjoyed having them here. And then of course we had Eric Pilcher's classic film

review this week, the subject being Entered The Dragon from nineteen seventy three,

which I'm embarrassed to say I've never seen that film. I say I'm embarrassed

to see it because actually, growing up, I was never really in the

up martial arts movies, but I did, you know, for about five

years I did do g Kundeau, which g Kundou, which was of course

developed by Bruce Lee, which is really an amalgam of different styles of martial

arts. So I did. That was kind of the height of my exposure

to Bruce Lee. But yeah, there was a place in Conquered called Integrated

Martial Sciences, and Paul Maller was the instructor there and just incredible. But

learned a lot about Bruce Lee from him. Actually, but we have a

call. We'll see he was online. Hi, welcome to Matt Conderton.

Unleash. Who's this? Hello? Hello, good morning, Matt, Good

morning, Jenny, Good morning. Oh Eric, I don't think I've ever

heard her. I don't think I've ever heard your voice in the morning.

What was that? I don't think I've ever heard your voice in the morning.

It threw me. Yes, it is early. I'm having tech issues

at work, so I haven't worked yet, just by getting paid for the

last two hours. Oh I see. Yeah, so I thought I would

just call in and say good morning to both of you. And Matt.

You must see Enter the Dragon, Yes I must. And I agree.

Like I said, I'm embarrassed that I haven't seen it. I mean,

it is so much more than just a martial arts film. Yeah, it

is great story, well written. I mean you really see the influence that

this film had on directors like John wu and others. Yeah, I mean,

just amazing film. The problem is, I do not think it is

streaming anywhere. Oh. You know what's funny is coincidentally, as the guys

were packing up from Glittertooth, Taylor the drummer was commenting that he just ordered

Enter the Dragon. It's coming on. He'd never seen it before, but

he ordered it and it's coming on four K. I yes, that's what

I did my review off of is the four K that was just recently released.

Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was funny. He's

like, wait a minute, I just he's hearing the review. He's like,

I just ordered this film. That's funny. Yes, the four K

looks absolutely stunning, and yeah, it's just such a great film. Albeit

not Bruce Lee's best film. I mean, his Golden Harvest films are by

far head his shoulder better than Enter the Dragon. But this is the film

that really really brought martial arts films into America mainstream and showed major Hollywood that

these films can be profitable. Like you, it's not just a film that

you buy from Japanese studios in era as Friday night midnight movies at the drive

in, or just release them on crappy quality vhs. Yeah, how many?

How many? How many movies your money back. How many movies did

he make? Bruce Lee's quite a few, right, Bruce Lee made.

Well, let me venture out into my living room here, because there was

his Golden Harvest films, and then there was Enter the Dragon. Then there

was Game of Death that they completed after his death, and it just doesn't

look great. He did five films, oh, okay for I don't know

why, but my perception, although I think I might know why, but

my perception has always been that he made more that that he was like into

the double digits with the movies that he made, But he only made five.

He starring films of his I mean complimentary rules, yes, way more,

but in starring there is only I believe five. Okay. Now,

was there somebody else? Because I remember this was years ago. I had

a conversation with someone actually who happened to be a musician who was in a

band. I don't remember his name or what bandy was in. This was

a long time ago, but he was telling me about there was somebody else,

like a stand in or somebody who was pretending to be Bruce Lee,

that they made some movies with, and he was known as Bruce Lie.

But but like people call them that as a joke because he was like pretending

to be Bruce Lee or some Hollywood producers were trying to pass him off Game.

Yeah, I forget his name, but they used him for Game of

Death. Oh okay, the one that they had to complete, yes,

okay, yeah, I mean enough of it was done. That's the one

that has the fight scene with him and Chuck Norris. Okay, but and

a fight scene with him in Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Really, yes, it

is painfully awkward. I bet it is. Is it obvious though, Like

when you're watching it, is it obvious that it's somebody standing in it is

just because it's not even body or or voice. It's his movements. I

mean, it's you. If you've watched Bruce Flee, you know Bruce's movement.

No, just it's this quick, flawless. It's like I love the

line in the review that we heard, like would you ever miss a painting

lesson with Picasso? Like there are so few athletes in the world where where

in their sport, their movement is just beautifully flawless and just it looks like

art and Bruce Lee's martial arts is that? I mean I've heard people compare

Jackie Chan, Jet Lee Donnie Yune and it's like, no, there's there's

no comparison, just beautiful movement, like no no flaws. It's probably the

sweetest motion in any sport. Is Bruce Lee's kicks and punches. M h

yeah, no, I will. I'll definitely have to see Enter the Dragon,

Like I said, Yeah, I mean, it's a great It is

a great film, very captivating. Some of the reviews when it was released

were not very good, really they I believe the reviewer for Variety said it

was a low rent Chinese food version of James Bond. Yeah, that which

you definitely could not say that today, right, But back then, you

know, reviewers had carte blanche to say whatever they wanted to say, And

unfortunately that's what Bruce Lee was faced with most of his life. Mm hm,

I mean, in his endeavors to try to bring his this art to

America. Mm hmm. Yeah, it is with a great deal of derision

and just vitriol. And the film Dragon, the Bruce Lee story does a

great job of encompassing there. Now, Melanie in the chat room, she's

uh, she has a counterpoint. She says, I heard Bruce Lee hit

and kicked like a little baby, and no one was ever really hurt.

Now, I don't I don't think that's true. That's not correct, is

it, Eric? No? No, No, I I mean I I

think you hear from John Saxon that Bruce Lee could royally mess you up.

Yes, there, you know. It goes without saying. I love Clinton

Tarantino, and I took great exception to his portrayal of Bruce Lee in Once

Upon a Time in Hollywood. That's another film I haven't seen. Why how

does he how does he portray Bruce Lee in that movie? Uh? Ego

maniac? Uh? Very condescending and borderline stereotypical. Yeah, it's it's not

uh endearing, look at Bruce Lee. It's a brief scene as well,

probably one of the more memorable scenes in the film. Okay, but uh,

you know it just it really it did upset me when I saw it

in theaters. I was there with my cousin Joe, and I told him

and I nudged him and I go, that's disgusting. M hmm. I

said that, that's absolutely horrible. H Well, because yes, Bruce Lee

did talk with an aura of confidence, but he had every reason to be

confident, right, right. There's a difference between confidence and arrogance, yes,

and faithful adaptation and racial profiling. And Quentin Tarantino, I defend him

on much of what he's done, but I don't defend that it was very

disrespectful to Bruce Lee's daughter and his wife. Yeah, because he didn't even

tell him he was doing it. Right. Oh. Now, Dan Fallon

from the band Run Like Thieves says in the chat room, a baby once

kicked me and I cried, Yes, but that baby was not Bruce Lee.

Yes, if Bruce Lee kicked you, you'd be doing more than crying.

I if anyone's interested in they have Hulu with the ESPN plus login,

the ESPN thirty for thirty like water does a very good job of encompassing Bruce

Lee. And is g kunda teaching And what I mean g Kundeau wasn't just

isn't just a martial art. It's a way of life. It's meditation,

it's relaxation, it's in what you eat, it's everything. And that's I

think that's a common misconception, is that Bruce Lee was just a guy that

kicked and punched no, he lived what he said. When I did see,

we never got in any of that. Unfortunately, when I did g

kundeou, I did it for about five years, and our instructor, I

don't know, maybe he assumed we didn't care about any of that stuff.

I would have been interested, but yeah, we just did a lot of

actually my two favorite things, because jikundo is a mix of really anything you

can use that works basically, and yes, we did a lot of We

was the first mixed martial artists. Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, and

we did in the class that I was in, we did a lot.

The two things that we did the most of were jiu jitsu and kickboxing,

which were my two favorite things to do anyway, So that worked out really

well for me. That's why I stuck around as long as I did,

even though I was, you know, getting the hell beaten out of me

twice a week for for five years. But but yeah, it was But

we never our instructor never ventured in any of the other elements of of gikundo

with that, just the just the fighting, which which was fine, but

but I would have liked to have learned more about everything else. Well,

I still could actually, but a lot of martial arts studios and this isn't

just reflective g Kundo, this is across the board. Unfortunately, a lot

of martial arts studios don't focus on the whole life aspect of it. And

that's the thing with martial arts, karate, judo, hopkedo, all these

different fighting styles have a physical mental life balance to them, and a lot

of studios don't focus on that because quite frankly, that's not where the money

is, right right, People go to them to learn how to kick butt,

like Jet Lee, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, so on and so

forth, Tony Jah, Jason Stadum. They don't go to learn all that

there is to it, right right, true. I remember too the thing

that something that was unusual to me though at the time, was Paul Maller,

the instructor, Like there was no belt system. You know, you

know how if you go to a karate studio, you know you can be

a black belt, you know eventually, you know, you've got a lot

of belts to go through to get to that, but you have a belt

system, and there was no There was no belt system. And Paul always

said that. Bruce Lee objected to that. He didn't. He didn't,

like he said, he felt it would be disrespectful to Bruce Lee to introduce

any kind of a belt system at the studio. So it was basically,

you know, there was beginner, there was intermediate, and there was instructor.

Those were like the three levels and you know I was intermediate because you

know I went for five years. But but that was it very true.

Yeah, did not believe in the belt structure. That actually caused a lot

of the dissension martial arts so American Martial Arts Associations had with Bruce Lee.

Yeah, because he felt that your experience wasn't based on fighting. Your experience

was based on life. The more you did in life, the more you

learned it in regards to combat. Mm. Yeah, yeah, that is

true. He did not believe in the belt system. Yeah there. I

mean, jee Kundo has adopted it over the years, but that in the

book of jeek Kundo that Bruce Lee wrote, they do have a belt system,

but it's very simplified. It isn't like you know, Brazilian jiu jitsu

and uh karate, where karate there's written tests you have to do to advance

as well as combat tests. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, because I

remember Paul explaining to us at the time that there was MG Kuno Studios that

did have a belt system, but but he felt that it would be that

that would be wrong because that's not what Bruce wanted. And the other the

other thing, the other thing too. That was kind of an unusual that

sort of when I first started going there, it sort of broke whatever stereotype

ad in my head about what it was like to do martial arts was you

didn't have to wear a gee. Uh some people did. I'd never in

my life have worn a gee. You know, you could wear shorts,

you could wear sweatpants, you know, just regular you know whatever, but

you did not. It was not required. And actually only a couple of

students did wear geeze. But you did not have to wear a gee in

that class. And I always thought that was cool because I didn't want to

be bothered with uh with That's another Bruce Lee original. You had a good

instructor, Bruce when he taught at the University of Washington, he never had

students wear geez. Yeah. Yeah. To me, it's just you don't

wear a gee when you're defending yourself exactly. That's what Paul used to say,

you don't wear a gee when you're defend yourself exactly. Yeah, so

why would you wear one to train? Yeah, that was Bruce Lee's belief,

like someone isn't going to attack you if they see you wearing your gee.

Uh. Melanie is asking in the chat room, what about really tight

spandex? Have you ever worn that? Matt? I am legally prohibited from

answering that question publicly. I'm not gonna say what I'm thinking, but uh

yeah, well there's a there's a whole thing. But uh yeah, so

that was Yeah, I never I never wore a gee or spandex but not

at not a class certainly. But uh yeah, no, I'll I'll have

to see Enter the Dragon definitely. But it's not it's not streaming anywhere,

right, you have to order it? No, it isn't. It is

not streaming. I don't think I can check that and get back with get

back with you guys in the tap. But I don't believe it is okay,

all right? From if it were streaming, I would guess it would

be on Peacock because it's uh well no, it'd be HBO Max because it's

Warner Brothers Melanie says in the chat room, like a one piece body suit.

Those are sexy. I would uh the only the only time I would

wear a one piece bodysuit was if I were a super villain. I think

that would be appropriate. I think it's best served if I bow out before

I get asked about wearing some I don't know, a gimp outfit or something.

Sure, sure, well you did mention Tarantino, and of course we've

all seen pulp fiction. But before you go, Eric, do you want

to tell us what you have planned for the rest of the month for the

film reviews unless you have to get back to work. I don't next next

week we are looking at This is one of my personal favorites. A bronx.

It was adapted from Chas paulmn Terry's One Man's stage play of the same

name by Robert de Niro. It's his directorial debut and he also stars in

it. It's a It's one of the few gangster films that I feel is

centralized to one neighborhood and it's just a great story. Has an excellent cameo

bite with Joe Pashi, who actually was uncredited in the film. Ah yeah,

that is a great brin sail is one of my absolute all time favorites,

favorite films. He went uncredited and it didn't have a theatrical release.

It's you was on HBO. I didn't realize that, Yeah, it had.

It had a very limited theatrical release like that, it was very limited

to New York. Oh but other than that, HBO did the worldwide premiere

of it. A lot of people say that that was the prectice of The

Sopranos. Oh okay, that the success of that movie and the success of

the film they did Gotti led to HBO wanting more free crime drama, so

hence the Wire the Sopranos Oz. By the way, I just have to

say my favorite, my favorite scene in a Bronxdale is the scene in the

bar with the bikers. Oh yeah, when Chasvolmentary when he says, now

you can't leave such a great scene. Yeah, that that is, in

my opinion, one of the greatest scenes in gangster film history. Agreed,

it is in the voiceover narration in that scene. US makes it work.

Now, putting that scene in the review could provide quite difficult because of certain

language used throughout it. But I'm I have it downloaded and have actually started

working on it to see how intelligible it is. Oh yeah, I'm sure.

You know, obviously things will have to be believed, but I'm sure

it's not that bad. Well, there's a lot of Italian ethnic slurs used

in that scene, and and some of them are very quiet in the background,

so it is hard to edit those true true, good point, And

so yeah, I get there are things you pick up on with film when

you're reviewing it for a radio show that you didn't pick up on before,

or you're so desensitized to it you just bypass it right right, Yeah,

and so yeah, that's one, but I would love to That scene is

amazing. Yeah. Then after that is Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Yeah, I've

that I haven't seen in honor of Ridley Scott's latest release, Napoleon, and

then we will be doing let me look at my calendar, I believe the

twenty second will be a Christmas story in honor of Christmas, and that will

be the last film review of the year until the first film review of the

year, which will be a very highly requested film Schindler's List. Uh.

Yeah, A lot of people have requested it, and I remember watching it

when I was in high school for a class and I haven't watched it since

because that film is so haunting. Oh yeah, so it'll be interesting for

me to watch it, yeah once again. Yeah, I've only seen it

once. It's an incredible film. But that film is on a very short

list of films that I think are absolutely amazing, but I never really particularly

want to watch them again because they're so overwhelming. There's a very It's not

a Buddy and popcorn slip stretch, No, certainly not. It's in the

vein of twelve years of slave. Yeah, and you've seen it and you

really only need to see it once because you get it right, and it

just leaves that impact on you. Oh yeah, you never forget it.

Yeah. No, but yes, we will be reviewing Schindler's List. Okay,

okay, all right, So yeah, so I this month should be

fun. Melanie points out, by the way, regarding Schindler's List, the

Little Girl in the Red Coat was a powerful scene. That's exactly what I

was thinking about too. Just now. I was singing that Sam time that

is actually on the cover of the four k Oh is it? Yeah?

Yep. The Little Girl in the Red Coat. Yeah, the pink coat.

I believe it's pink, pink or bread for I thought it was red,

but I could be wrong. I think it's one of those where it's

such a light color, but that makes it so much more powerful. Yeah,

it's open to interpretation. But that was a brilliant move by Spielberg.

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, so, yes, that's what we have.

But I will let you guys go have a good rest of the show.

Jenny was nice speaking with you again, and you as well, and have

a good rest of the show. You two, all right, Eric,

thank you for the call, appreciate it. Safe, no problem, all

right, bye bye. All right. That was our friend Eric Pilcher with

Eric Pilcher's classic film review and today this week the subject was Enter the Dragon

from nineteen seventy three. Jayfed in the chat room says, I'll make sure

you get my reviews as well, Matt. He's always trying to get in

there on Eric's reviews, kind of one up them. I think. You

know. Well, we are at the top of the hour, so we're

going to take one more quick break, show some love to our sponsors,

and then we'll be back with the final hour of our show today. I

think we have a specific subject that I've been posting about on social media that

seems to have the whole world talking, in which one of the individuals involved

in the situation has actually referred to it as a global divorce. Wow.

Yes, yes, it's actually rather it's rather a heartbreaking it's it's like watching

my parents get to Furst, except they're musicians. But we'll we'll talk about

it. But yeah, so we'll we'll take a quick break and then we'll

see you on the other side. Come on,

Game Plan
