Weird. This is why I never had this. This is why I never had children, because all kinds of weird stuff happens. Nothing weird about that I kept just do you see why I'm weird. No, the apple did not fall off from the tree. Uh. By the way, so before we get rolling, we should mention. Uh, we did something. A couple of days ago we visited the Mosaic Art Collective. We did? Or why were we there to drop off my painting to be hung on the gallery wall? Mm hmm ah. That's so insanely cool your first one. I couldn't stop grinning, like it was amazing just to be able to go there and be like, I'm leaving a piece of me here and it really and now I feel kind of naked now that now it's like, oh my god, it's going to be on this wall.

People are going to be looking at it. What did they all hate it? No? No, I'm nervy. I'm nervy. But yeah, that was a lot of fun. I love that place, I really do. Me The getting to hear Abner the second there was phenomenal to me. I just loved the room myself as a place to listen to him was just perfect. So yeah, and the art show is next weekend on the tenth, from four pm to eight pm. Is the show opening for the All Hats Status Show, which is what I am a part of arts All Hearts Status Show.

The last time we went, I was looking around and I'm like, I, I can't hang on the walls with these people, like, yeah, this is way beyond me.

It's just yeah, it's it's scary. It's scary. It's a part of myself that's going to be in a place of judgment. Almost I'm not judgment I shouldn't say it that way, but yeah, it is people go to galleries and they look and they judge, and it's like are they gonna like it? Do I fit in? Or are they going? Why is that there? Well, when they were here, they were here for our first show here in the new studio, and they were talking about the process. What is it. It's it's three of them and they you have judge.

Yeah, you submit your work to be juried and if you make it through the juried product process, then you're a part of the gallery for that show. Yeah. So, and each show has a different theme, like they just announced a new one I believe it's for April, which is Rock Paper Scissors and it's a mixed media art show that's going to be going on. So people who love to do mixed media, this might be something you might want to get involved with. And you can go to the Mosaic Art Collective dot com. You can see the upcoming events and if you would like to, you can submit your work to be juried for an upcoming show.

Yep, yeah, so that's going to be So the show is the tenth from four to eight pm. Yes, and it's right on Hanover Street, right above the Palace Theater.

I encourage you to go there. It's an amazing it's an amazing piece of gallery in the city. The more and deeper I get involved, the more excited I get at how much is really there in the city that I have just not known, are not been aware of.

And we have an incredible amount of art in our city and music, and it's just we're really lucky in this area to have so much. Well, it's like we're always talking about, you know, and we talk about it a lot with music and more recently with visual art because of Mosaic and you know, having them on the show. It's like there's there's a lot more going going on in terms of art and you know, music, music of course being art as well, and that then a lot of people probably realize, and it's just a matter of engaging a little bit and getting out there or just going online and looking at what's going on, you know, and there's so much creativity going on around us.

I love the uniqueness of the venue because you have the arts, the visual arts and the but you also have the musical arts. Every month they bring in musicians yea, and you can enjoy you know, independent artists while you're looking at beautiful pieces of art. So it's really nea a unique venue to the city. Yeah.

That's great. That's great, like doing yoga. Yeah, there you go, there you go. Who do that song? Citizen King, Citizen Kane, King King King King, Citizen Kane is the movie you know, which is I'm sure where they got the name from, but a derivative of uh, hello, hello to Isaac Banks, our friends from North Wait, no, hey, how do you get this wrong?

Greensboro, North North Carolina. Finally showing up. I was wondering if they were going to follow us a Saturdays. He says, good morning. Hashtag Matt Conderton and hashtag gen coffee. Good morning, Jesse Coffee, go for it? Uh hashtag Matt Connorton. This is Isaac Banks, a k A. Iichman Breezy, and I am lead singer vocals of a pop singing group quartet called En Saturn I Sing and Dance. I picked the name of my singing group of En Saturn. Yes, yes, we know all this. We remember you, we remember you, we love you too.

And uh, of course U jy fed never believes that it's really Isaac Banks. So there's already already hashtag arguing over that hashtag Isaac. Oh are they gonna fight again? I think they already are. Oh, I think they already are. Yes, yes, Uh, well, if you're just joining us, we do have Jesse Coffee with us live in studio. And yeah, you want to play it? You sound great? You want to play another one? Oh? Why not? I'll slow it down a bit and go a little out of the genre I normally don't play. And I learned this.

Have a couple of friends that I like to harass me when I go over their place and like, hey, you should sing this, and then they make me sing without a guitar, which I hate, except for karaoke that there's something different about karaoke. So it's a it's a country song. It is better as a duet, I would say. But I'm gonna try and sound as pretty as I feel. Maybe your maybe your mom can sing with you if he knows the Zach Bryan song. You know, not prepared? Oh okay, I would need to do that with him out of the thousands thousands listening.

No niceee okay, Jesse coffee live in studio, So technical difficulties, no worries. Okay, there you go.

Rock cut whist is gonna ease my mind? Beach towel rests on the drying line. Do I remind you of your daddy and his dady? A thorn

the labbordor hanging out the passenger doing saying from your hair is blowing in my eyes, blaming on the beach. Don't then, don't cry? Do I remember that beach down the basement couch singing my love songs. You need to tell me about how your mama ran off and pondering. I remember, I remember everything. Don't shudder. At closing time, you will beckon me to stay till the sun rose. Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth and his mind's broke. The pictures in passing time, you all smile a lot back when you drinking.

I don't wish I didn't bought. I do remember every morning when the nuts with him, you're drinking everything just to ease your mind. But when the hell are you gonna ease mind? Got concrete feet in the summer, he the birds, I he went too songs more. No, you'll never be the man that you onways saw. I remember you singing in that eighty eight born gold Shoulder It closing times. You were begging me to say till the sun roams. Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth when it's brine's broke, the pictures in passing time.

You only fire that time and drinking. I don't wish it didn't, but I do remember every moment in the nights with him gold Shoulder and closing time, and it would fifty estaye till the summer roads. Strange words come on out of a grown man's mouth when it's mine's broke. Pictures and passing time. You want to see a lad drink and we should be. But I do remember every morning on the next with you Rock good Wish, he's going on. He's my mind beach rests on the drying line. I remind you of your daddy in his eighty eight phone Laborador hanging out the passenger door.

Jesse co with us live in studio. That's awesome. That was awesome. Well well done, well done. Now we should mention, uh, now we should talk a little bit about where you work because you do a lot of events there right, a lot of Oh definitely, I love it. Yeah, so I work at you might have heard of it, you might have seen to be around at a Great North Ale. We're located on ten to fifteen. I d I got around ten to fifty. Please don't kill me, Lisa. I've never been asked to give directions, so that also helps.

I just kind of know where I'm driving. But we also have lovely signs to direct you and you drive down there. That's a street that's kind of off where Candy Road is if you're familiar in that area. But they've been around for eight years. They have a lot of popular beers like tied I, RVP IPA Trail, Juice, Grateful North. There there's a whole bunch and We also have a lot of special ones that you want to get, you have to come there to get. In terms of events, we have tons of stuff that happens all the time, like today,

especially for music from four to six. We're the Upright Dogs playing for us, very popular duo. They're awesome, wicked fun. They play songs of all decades. So we always have live music every Saturday between four to six. On Thursdays other than I think it's the third Thursday of the month, we always have an event. So the first Thursday is always cribbage Night. It starts right around like six six thirty. I want to say where people start to sign up around six kind of get it going around six point thirty.

We alternate between singles and doubles. So next month will be a singles month. The next Thursday, which is something that I host. Coming up next week is a video game night. We've been alternating right now between Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers on the Switch. This one is going to be Smash Brothers because of course, what's better to do the week before Valentine's Day than get into a fight with the person you love? Oh, you know perfect right? I know someone out there is going boo, probably the people at Hallmark.

But on the end of the month, on Thursday, we also have in person trivia from Dulphoitt Presents, always a fantastically fun time. It's actually something to stay open a little bit even later for. And that goes from seven to nine and it's we do it classic too, No phones, none of that. It's all on paper. You gotta bet some points in there between points systems from one to three, five and seven, so if you really know it, throw the seven in. If you don't know it, that's where your one pointer comes in.

So it's really fun. But events all the time, we host private events. There's funny. I could continue going on saying, but it's a very fun atmosphere, very relaxed area, great space in the tasting room, and once the patio starts getting opened back up, we do allow dogs on the patio so you can have your beer and your buddy all at the same time and fun, very nice, very nice. And where is that again, It's in Manche. You know what, I'm gonna do my due diligence so I'm not screwing up.

I was thank you because I could tell because I just looked up and left. Thank you. See ten fifty I was, and I thought fifteen and fifty. When you pull in there, you'll see a sign that says bingo. Go past that sign and right on the last one on the left is the Great North al War. Let me usually have a fun little parking thing that says, hey, parking for the Brewers, so you'll know when you're there. Oh, very good. Yeah, they actually have it marked, so you know, you know you're in the right spot. Very good if you're just joining us.

Jesse Coffee is with us Alive and studio and uh, let's see. Uh we've got a lot of again, lot of a lot of love. In the Facebook live chat, Melanie law Liberty is asking if you play birthday parties. I will, well, his first actual public thing was a wedding. Oh was it? Yeah? Yeah, but then I played Don't Fear the Reaper and they you said, I shouldn't have played that. Yeah, know that for a wedding, but they like the Blue Oyster Cult. Yeah, it was just a little wrong. Pick I would have gone young, I would have gone you were you would have gone with Godzilla.

That's that's my favorite. That's definitely my favorite. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Uh, let's see. Uh. Melanie says, hey, Matt, did you notice the red thing on the mic, Babe makes it look super dirty? Stop it? I did notice that. Isaac Banks says, uh, Matt connorton, what's Jesse Coffee's favorite song by Matchbox twenty three am? Or These Hard Times? Or rest Stop or bent? So he's giving you four options for your favorite match Box twenties. Do you need me to repeat the options? I'll just say three am, three am.

Not that I know how to play it. I just I think that's the only one I really heard. Don't hate me, h j Fad says Jesse. Have you ever considered the possibility of increasing the length of your beard. I've never seen you with a big beard. He had a good, bushy one. I mean, we all try to forget the COVID times, but that's when I did it, and that's the only time that I might like. The curly part of my hair shows in the beard. So I just,

oh, it got really curly. I hated it, but I have let it go before I like it. Yeah, I don't want the reverse far Oh it's not for me. I have grown it out. Sometimes they let it go for a little bit, usually when I'm feeling like it. But I've just been kind of enjoying the shorter beard for now. Yeah, Jason believes all beards should be like zz Top. When they can look as good as that, then I I would agree. Sure, there you go, There you go. Melanie said, I didn't think you were going to read that one.

Let's see. Oh uh. Certain. Matthew Saviano, who we know as Huey the Gecko, is in the Facebook live chat, and Huey the Gecko says, you keep rocking that, don't fear the reaper. That's a love song. Romeo and Juliet are together in Eternity, tough crowd. I like it. Yeah, thank you. That is one understands that that is a good He's got a good point, Huey the Gecko. Yeah, let's see. Oh my goodness, oh jeez. Oh, Miriam says, love it. Yeah, any of your music, Miriam? Really? Uh? And Melody is accusing us of grand theft.

Why she thinks that we took the thermometer in the room from a pool. Oh no, speaking of which, what is the temperature? Jesse? So that hasn't changed. I think it's busted. Oh oh, maybe that might be there that consider that that thermometer was given to the station. It was a gift kind of to the station, but really to the morning show from our friend Brooklyn Mike. Oh. He a few years ago he presented that, he presented that to Peter White. Of course, the Morning Show with Peter White weekdays seven to nine am, with a replay from two to four pm.

But yeah, he presented that one holiday season a few years ago to Peter and Uh it's been a part of the station ever since. Tom Blanchard in the chat says, good to see the sun. Enjoying your new show today, I'm waiting for my old change to be done, trying to be trying to ignore the misbehaving kids in the waiting room. Lol. Well, we're glad you're We're glad you took us along. Tom. Uh. If you have any questions or anything at all for our guests this morning, Jesse coffee. Uh, the studio line has opened six three two five six seven.

I I'm very curious to hear the new original that you've written that I've never heard. Yes, yes, I am super excited. I'm very curious to hear us. Oh. Sure, Sorry I did that. Sorry, sorry, all right, I'm a lefty and it's on the wrong side. Oh, Jay bellow from uh of course, Chasing the Devil. Great band. We sometimes we still have that song in rotation. Sometimes I spend that Beautiful Nightmare such a great trap. Yeah, you know what, we'll play that at the break today. Oh, that's a good idea. We'll play Beautiful Beautiful Nightmare by Chasing the Devil at the break.

That song is so stuck in my head. It still just randomly pops into my head. And they're working on more music too. We'll definitely get those guys back. But Jay says, morning, peeps, love the show. Thank you, Jay, thank you, appreciate it. Appreciate you whenever you're ready. Jesse, what's what's the Oh yeah, Jay says, new songs coming to you soon. Awesome. That is excellent to hear.

It took me too on a realize I'm trying my best, please to believe, to keep a good path free from me the rage and still that cos and sign. Best believe Kyda get bye. Give me that this is enough. I can't keep this up. I won't in this up. No. No, I'm starting to see myselffer real been by for so long again, appeal people around me streaming side because my actions I can't recide. Give me slid that this is enough. No, I can't keep the sort I won gave sup No, give me solid that this is enough.

No, I can't keepers how long damn this up? No? No?

Thank you? Very nice, gorgeous, very nice. Wow, I'm so proud of you. That was gorgeous. Thanks Mom. Do you remember the uh? I ask everyone this? I've probably asked you this before, but do you remember the first song you ever wrote? Honestly? No, it was probably when I was sixteen and embarrassed, and I just I knew I was Probably It's part of why I didn't. I mean, I still hate writing, but I'm doing it now. I'm kind of forcing it. I'm at that point now, are you just got to do it? Yeah? I think it's every artist.

They always say it, like you hate hearing yourself, you don't like hearing what you write and all that, And this is the only one where I've been like I can deal with it in terms of like if people like it or hate it. So it's it's it's a journey. I'm excited to just go for at this point. So I'm hoping to then, you know, next time, have a lot more written. I have stuff that I'm working on. I'm just needing time to kind of sit down, either write it out acoustically or not. And now you know, I don't have like a studio, I don't have recording stuff, so I'm I'm mostly just doing it in my head as I go, right, And so that's kind of just how I've always written.

Either do the lyrics first, or I do the guitar part first, and then I think of the melody in my head and then I just kind of write with it and go with it. Yeah, are you playing out a lot or I've been trying to. I don't have any gigs yet book me, but I've been doing open mic at the shaskiing every Monday night because I learned that that was happening. I'm sure someone had told me before, but I live under a rock. But Hal Heavy actually is one who let me know because I ran into him as Strange Brow and he comes all the time with Polly Stone.

So knowing that there's something on a Monday, which is perfect since it's my day off, is great. And I hope I don't put your his last name. But it's hosted by Scotti clout here. He is a awesome guitarist, great Tom Petty cover guy as well, but he's a fantastic host, super high energy, always positive, keeps the room going, and it's just it's just a really fun, positive time. I see a lot of the same people, whether they're playing or not playing, a lot of people just go just simply to watch, which is really fun.

So and I always love the shasking. It's just one of my favorite, Like if I'm going out, that's kind of my go to. Other other than Strange Crew, there's just like those are my top picks. I like places that start with the letter S. Apparently wasn't intentional, but right. Jay Bellow from Chasing the Devil says, great job, Jesse, I appreciate it, Thank you. Some love their Isaac's awesome clapping. And Ronda Faverro, one of our great friends from the West Coast, California, says, Hi everyone, good morning, Ronda and uh And by the way, Jesse, you mentioned a couple of members of the w M and H family.

Kyle Heavy, of course, who hosts Off the Mark Sports here on Sunday mornings here live on w M and H, and Polly Stone, who is of course Rob as a Veto's co host on Granted State of Mind. Yes, and they feature a lot of musicians from the area on Friday nights from six to seven pm here on w M and H. I forget how long it was when I did a grand Estate of mine once. Oh right, maybe it was a may but it was a blast. Yeah. You guys are wicked fun. Absolutely absolutely, Huey the Gecko says, you mentioned Scott.

I think it's pronounced Clutier from Strange Brew. He does the open mics, he says. Huey the Gecko says Scott. He's got a great rhythm when he's on the kit too, so really, apparently he's a talented drummer. It makes sense. The first open mic I actually did there and because it's been forever since I had played out because this is more like a recent thing for me to really try and get you know, involved and stuff. I hadn't changed my strengths for months. Yeah, and I played I'm doing this, and you know, after the'se like, you know, it sound great, it's like your string's going kind of old though, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, you're not wrong at all.

He totally called me out on it, but it was totally faiirs, like I'm going to change my strengths the next time I play. Yeah, it was like the which was the week I went before I went to a bachelor party, so I was like, I gotta squeeze that in there somewhere. Yeah, which was fun, but it was great tips and even suggested a certain string because I play, I have my mind's indeed standard and I like that because I can use the capole to kind of change my tuning around a lot easier. So I have to kind of relearn a lot of the songs I like to play so I can have more freedom, I guess with with the guitar, so lower strings is better with like a fatter sound.

So yeah, it's definitely was a great tip. So I was like, I'm going to take his advice, and he says, hey, what do you think? Like, yeah, I like it? Yeah? Yeah? Do you ever? Do you break strings ever when you're live? Hasn't happened yet. Knock gone guitar would here, But it's part of why I almost never play the twelve string out every time I get it restrung, because I will admit I am lazy with that guitar. I hate stringing that one because because there's twelve of them. Yeah yeah, it takes twice as long and you got to get the octaves and it's just a pain.

I always end up turning it into eleven string the day I bring home. Really Yeah, So I just I just accepted, just like you know what John Butler does it, I will too, Like that's totally fine. I'm just gonna accept it. Yeah, Isaac Banks is asking Jesse Coffee. Have you never listen? This is this is a familiar This is a familiar theme with Isaac Have you never listened to Jamie Walter's song hold On and See? Jamie Walters is a actor, singer, musician. He has in a TV. He was in a TV in a nineties TV show of a band called The Heights was a hit song how do you Talk to an Angel?

It was the number one song. Do you know that song? Do you think he didn't put an he didn't put an s on the ninety I would definitely have to hear it. It's been it's been quite a while. How's that go? How do you talk to an angel? If he's talking about nineteen ninety? Jesse wasn't born yet, right right, that's the only thing. Well, you wrote ninety, not nineties. The thing is with with Isaac Banks, and I think this is this is probably with everybody in Greensborough. Not only do they use hashtags excessively, but very fixated on Jamie Walters and Matchbox twenty definitely the Maxbox twenty.

Yeah, that one comes up a lot, but he goes out of his way to mention Jamie Walters a lot. Also, Oh you got to you gotta have love for something. That's that's totally fair. That's right. Yes, Tim Donovan Jr. In the Facebook latch at another very talented musician. I need to affward you his information. We need to get him very absolutely. He's got very unique and interesting Yeah, we were was when we were on the break where he and I were talking about getting him on, but definitely want to want to get him on.

Do you want to you want to play another song? Sure? All right, why not? I'm having fun If you're just joining us, We have Jesse Coffee live in studio with us here on w M and H ninety five point three FM on this glorious Saturday morning here from the new studio on a Canal Street. Uh oh, Miriam Banish says, Isaac Banks is an interesting character. Yes, you probably remember that song Miriam from uh Jamie Walters. All right, whenever you're whenever you're ready, sir, So I'll do uh throw back to the first talent show I ever did eighth grade, and I'll play some wicked game all right?

Will was on fire and no one can save me by you? Strange? What desire? Who make foolish people do? And none ever dream that I meet somebody like you?

Not never dream that I lose somebody like you? No, do'ta falling alone? No, do'ta falling alone with you? With you? What a wicked game to play to make me feel this way? What a wicked thing to do to make me dream? How you? What do wicked thee to say you never felt that away? What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you and don't want to fall in love? No, don't want to falling off with you? With you, world was on fire and no one can save me, but you strange What desire make foolish people do?

And not ever dream that I meet somebody like you, Not ever dream that I'd lose somebody like you. No, don't avolling, No, don'ta vollume loved No, No, nobody loved no. Wow, very good? Very good? Is that? Uh? Jesse coffee? Everybody? Is that the most challenging song to sing? That you do? Because I would, I would imagine that's challenging. Actually, no, you played the most the hardest stuff to sing. And it's only because I was obsessed with him and still am. R I p Chris Cornell anything he does.

Oh, okay, he is the four octave singer. I know, I am, not even even on my good days. Uh, some of his stuff is just so up there. I have to really relearn how to sing some of his things. So there are some songs of his that I'm comfortable doing, ye, but I got to really stretch for for some of those, because you know, it's it's hard to bring everything down because he just has such raw power and that rasp in his voice and everything and and anything, audio slaves, sound guarden anything from them. They're just that my favorites to sing, but the hardest the things.

But I know I can't hit all of them. So there certain songs, as much as I love them, I'm never gonna do what what what do you do for? For Chris Corner? You know it's been it's been a little bit, But be yourself as one I do when when when I'm feeling good for it, I am. The Highway is probably one of my absolute follow So those are ones that I've I've always enjoyed doing very good. By the way, whenever I hear a Wicked game, whoops, what's you think of? Jack Black? Something's playing here that I don't want to be playing.

No, I don't know where that audio. I know where that audio is coming from. No, whenever I hear Wicked game, here we go, I think of I think of this?

Was that just stevis my head? His name is Isaac still makes me laugh?

Oh yeah, away, wait as much I let him, please,

never thought about doing your entire show with someone just pattering with your as Jesus, you wouldn't do anything. I would check this out. I don't think that caught your I wouldn't either. I would be in fance. Watch James

anyway, Yeah where when Buttead makes fun of the way Chris Isaac sings. It's pretty good, so I miss I mean, I know they had like a newer version of the show, but it just it isn't quite the same. There's something about that era where yeah, like I love Mike Judge, super funny. Yeah yeah, and even the new stuff was good, but it just doesn't hit quite the same. I've never seen any of the It's it's all right. I kind of forgot about it. It's one of the like for me, one of the few reasons I picked up Paramount Plus was just to watch that all the South Park specials they had there because it was only exclusive to that, and I was like, all right, yeah, but that was definitely one of them.

I haven't watched all of it, but there is some funny stuff in there where they just make fun of like like modern day issues. But the videos are different because they're not doing just music anymore right right, Like they're making fun of people that do like ASMR videos and I'm like, all right, you know that's it's entertaining. But you know, I always think of the Beabs and butt Head one where they're making fun of Pantera. Yeah, like it's like Terra's cool, and then and it's just them like raging out and he's like, oh, he's a yelling at me right right, Isaac bangs and the chat says hashtag Jesse coffee, what's your favorite Savage Garden song?

Truly Madly Deeply or to the Moon and Back. I want him to tell me what his favorite song is so I can listen to it. I actually like switched it up on him. Nobody's ever switched it up on Isaac. I oh, I don't want to pretend I know it, like at least like Matchbox, I could kind of like I know, three am sure this one. I'm like, I probably have heard it, but I'm not always good with all of it. To the Moon and Back is okay. I do not like Truly Madly Deeply. I think those are their only hits. Don't know, it's not ringing a bell for me.

Jay Fed wants to know if you do any Rick Astley covers, you know, I can try and figure something out for the obvious one son that I'm sure he's probably gosh, well, if you want to, yeah, we have we have time. We can do one or two more if you want. All right, this is gonna be a total first time. So I like because I've never played this, So okay, if it sucks, I'm sorry. It's live radio. It's the adventure of it. I don't I don't even know if I'm gonna be able to like never, I've never played it acoustically.

I'm only ever saying this as a joke. I even had. I used to have a QR code shirt. Oh I remember that. Unfortunately, bleached stains took it away from me. But it was the best QR code shirt you could wear when you go to either protests or concerts because people scan it and it directed you to never gonna give you up. The only thing that sucked, though, is if you have ads on YouTube, then you would see the title first, but at least in your head, you still got Rick rolled. So I did appreciate that. That's pretty cool.

Uh. Huey the Gecko says, my favorite is Chris Cornell's song is right turn that's a good one. Yeah. J Fed says you can do it. Yeah, Jay Fed's giving you encouragement. You got this, all right, Well we'll get We'll give it a chat, all right, Jesse Coffee live. H I gotta figure out the chords. That's that's the part. M hm mm hmm. Huh. Hold on. This is what you get when you're trying to first learn a song you've never played live radio as it should be. Are you what is it? It's this is one chord? Okay, mhm, I know what he should play?

What? No, I'm not gonna do that one, all right. You know I'm gonna come back to that one just I want to. I want to figure it out and I want to do it the proper way, So I won't do it, but we'll leave the future. And also, because I have that shirt, I feel inspired. I'm gonna I'm gonna make an effort to learn that song. Okay, all right, I'm gonna absolutely make an effort. I feel like you should know that one if you if you do, like Rick Astley, well we'll uh, we're approaching at the top of the hour, so let's do one more and and just whatever whatever you want, We'll bet you we'll go in the complete same direction and play Nirvana.

How's that all right, Jesse, Coffee is with us live in studio. If you're just joining us, all right, whenever you're ready. I'm not letting them, but I can pretend the sun is gone. I have a line good days. But I'm having fun. I think I'm dumb, maybe just sappy. Think I'm just happy. Think I'm just happy. Think I'm just happy. My heart is broke, but I have some glue. Help me hail and then do with you. We float around and hang out of clouds. Then we come down and have a hangover, have a hangover, have a hangover, have a hangover.

It's in the sun fall sleep, wish away, he solo, sheep lesson, learn, wish me, lak suthan burn wake me. I'm not love them, but I can present the sunny gone to. But I have line good days done too. But I'm having fun. I think I'm dumned, maybe just happy. I think I'm just happy. I think I'm just happy. Think I'm just happy.

I think I'm dumb. I think I'm dumb. I think I'm dumb. I think I'm dumb. I think I'm dumb. I think I think I think I think I think m dumb. Very good, very good, Jesse coffee with us a live in studio in a moment. We're gonna take our break and then we're gonna come back and do some more stuff. And of course we have Ricky Mapleton coming up in the third hour. But Jesse, you're sticking around for a bit. I'll stick around for a little bit. I don't have work for at least a couple of hours. I'm so gonna have to leave a little early because I got we got some prep to do.

Gotcha, Yeah, very good. Great chicken dip doesn't make itself, that's right. Let's plug right there. Yeah, and well Buffalo chicken dip. Oh yes, Buffalo chicken. Let's expand the plug for a moment. Remind everybody the place you're talking about, because you got all kinds of great live events going on there, great north Ale works. If you are free today, which will be well after the show from four to six, we the Upright Dogs playing today, fantastic duo. Love hearing them play, and great name of course, and then late later next week for some recent stuff.

We will also have a video game night that I'm hosting. It starts roughly around six o'clock. Signups a five thirty for Super Smash Brothers tournament, Fight your heart out, have fun, of course, have great beer, great bruise, and good times. And it's and every Saturday. Of course, we do always have live music from four to six rotating artists, some that you've also had I have had on here, like Kevin Horn. So we have a lot a lot of great acts that we have come through. And we'll also have an open mic as well.

Believe it's February sixteenth, which is a Friday, that's from six to eight as well. I occasionally play, depends on how busy we are and if I have time to, because if there's a ten plus people on the list, I'd rather hear a lot of these new, newer people. We get people from all ages that have never played out before, which is great. It's a it's a nice dynamic. Like there was like a seventeen or eighteen year old kid who never played before coming out, and then there's a few people that were like a lot older that had played out and it was their first go around and I love that.

It's always fun to seeing people get out have a good time, and it's always like a supporting space with that. So well, yeah, because a lot of times open mics happen in bars type atmosphere. Yeah, and you can't necessarily go there with you know, with your sixteen seventeen year own crew. Then you know you can you can come, you know, because parents need drinks too, So right, It's one of the things I love about the Great North. It's just it's such a wonderful interior and it doesn't have that. We're a calm spot and I like, yeah, yeah, they have.

They have a lot of good stuff. You still make. You make your own humus too, don't you, Yes, we do. And then you you guys made a beer that tastes like peanut butter. Oh yes, it's a peanut butter Black Bear Imperial Stout, And we're on our last log of it now we have we have cans left, but if you want to get it on draft, you can only get it in the tasting room. There's a lot of exclusive stuff in the tasting room, so you won't see it out in the world. You will only see it, and that is one of them, So that's definitely something I would recommend coming to get down.

It's definitely one of my favorites. I like peanut butter and I like beer, so who knew I'd like them both together. But it's great at ten fifty holt out. Yes, and I did have one question for you. I saw an image somebody was holding up Great Northwoods passport. Ah, yes, you know that. It is very good to talk about. So the passport, it's twenty bucks, but you get a dollar off for every beer that you get that's new to the stamp or you get so like, if you get a new beer, there's ten spots that if you never had in that stamp, we'll get a dollar off that beer.

So you know it kind of pays for itself in that sense. Yeah. Yeah, but it's also a kind of a bragging rights thing and you get a exclusive party if you complete your passport, you're invited and you also get a prize for that. So this one is kind of special because we changed up a few aspects to it. So it's not just coming in and getting a different beer thirty times. Now it's you have to come at least once a month. You will get one freebie month, but that's to kind of push that out. If you really want a passport, you kind of want to come either this month or next month, earlier the better to get started.

And there's other ones like a tend a special event, send us a picture of you having a good time with a great North beer. Of course you can even have one with a picture of your dog because we love dogs there, and god, there's just so many other things to look at, and you know, I can talk more about it, but I'd rather show you at the brewery, which you should come and visit me there today, and you can harass me for why I didn't play Matchbox twenty or the botch Rick Astley attempt because I got to figure out that one court, you know, all that fun stuff.

I love it right right, all right, very good, Jesse, thank you so much, Thank you so much for having me. It's been great, absolutely, and we have plenty more show to come. But it's a little past stop of the r Let's take a break, and as promised, we're gonna play a little Chasing the Devil. Our friend Jay Bellow in the Facebook live chat. This is such a great track. This is
