1:19 of the way. I don't care. I don't care, doesn't it doesn't

1:23 matter to me. But welcome everybody. I'm not does that? You know

1:26 what it is? I don't like uh. I don't like numerical humor,

1:30 probably because I don't like math. So I'm biased against jokes involving numbers,

1:37 you know what I mean. I've always been like that anyway. So here

1:41 we are welcome everyone on this beautiful Thursday afternoon. It's really nice outside.

1:47 I think the next couple of days. It is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous.

1:51 So when I say glorious downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, I mean that

1:56 quite literally. My friends, it is glorious outside. We've got a glorious

2:00 show for you, I dare say, coming up. I think in just

2:05 a couple of minutes, our friend EASYG Eric Gagnon is going to be calling

2:07 in for his entertainment report, and uh, also at four or forty five

2:13 today we're gonna be joined. Uh I'm not sure if he's calling or skyping,

2:17 but our friend Eric Pilcher from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he's going to

2:21 join us for a few minutes to uh talk about the latest wrinkle in the

2:27 Motley Crewe debacle, the ongoing car crash that is Molly Crue. And then

2:30 in the second hour, we've got some other things to get to, some

2:34 more serious matters, but not that Easyg's entertainment report is not serious, mind

2:39 you. I hope no one misunderstands me on that. But our friend Shannon

2:43 is on the line. High Shannon, Hi, what's up. I'm glad

2:49 did just start? Honestly you do. However, didn't you start off the

2:57 show by saying this is a repeat. No, No, we were we

3:04 were live, but the stream was not working properly. Something went wrong because

3:10 I heard it's it's fine, Shannon, just a technical problem. Don't worry

3:14 about it. We're good, Okay, this's just weird. Stay okay,

3:21 very good, move on anything anything. Yes, we're we're in the now,

4:16 chat. But the best thing to do so that we can here and enjoy

4:19 your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six two five six zero

4:25 seven. Melanie says in the chat room, Wow, Matt isn't fooling around

4:29 today. She used a different word, but uh, well, you know,

4:30 I'm just not. Uh, that's just more that I have to edit

4:33 out of the podcast because that won't make any what what that was about won't

4:38 make any sense, uh to uh, you know, the people listening to

4:43 the show in the archive who don't get a chance to listen live. So

4:46 that's right, I'm not fooling around, uh, Melanie, or what you

4:49 said, I like your word better, but I cannot say that here on

4:54 FM terrestrial radio. But I think our friend EASYG is already on the line.

5:01 stuff. Wow. The Facebook post for wow? What? Well kind of

6:43 crazy show? Remember any years back on the way back in the day.

6:46 I only saw the repeat. I was like, did he die ninety seven

6:48 years old? He's still cooking? Oh you said you might remember him,

6:51 like he was dead. I was afraid he was dead. No, he

6:55 said at a TV shock he was back in the fifties and sixties. Fifties

7:00 seventies, when was murder, when was not murders? He wrote Diagnosis Murder

7:04 eighties. I think he's been around a long time, Easygh doing today,

7:10 but don't don't he's listening to the radio. Wait never right now. He

7:13 is one of our biggest fans. How dare you? He emails me every

7:20 Dyke, and please make sure that EASYG knows that I'm still alive. Yeah,

7:26 well, I know I don't dedicated to this person before, but he's

7:30 uh, you know, friends with a man of mccafee. This guy's good.

7:32 I listen to what on a fifteen twenty songs on Spotify and Kristen beach

7:39 so new song out Smoken Mirrors. He never guess who wrote it MANA mccofey.

7:43 Yes, and I am going to play that at the end of your

7:46 entertainment report today, as you're reported. I try to find out Spotify,

7:48 but I don't. A few were able to catch it. I found this.

7:53 I'm sorry. I found it on Spotify. I went to the search

7:56 box on Spotify, I typed in his name and came right up. But

8:01 not only not only written by Amanda McCarthy. But he is the one who

8:07 produced my favorite Amanda McCarthy song, Sunset, that was produced by Christian Oh

8:13 yeah, if I remember the story right there like besties apparently, yes,

8:20 so we will if he's gonna be a friend with any that's what she does.

8:24 You know, she has a lot of friends in the industry, and

8:26 that's what she does. You know when I saw all the time in Manchesters

8:30 other people at like Nick Ferraro and Johnny Friday. Now listens, courseman listen.

8:35 I'm sure there was other ones I didn't see, but that was already

8:39 sty Why not come up and sing a couple of songs? If she sat

8:41 down and get to take a break. A lot of musicians do know each

8:46 other. Now, Polyc is in the chat room from Retrospectum Radio with police

8:50 and he's asking, as he actually reported on any drive buys yet, do

8:56 you have any drive by shootings you'd like to talk about? Easy? G

9:00 know. A matter of fact, I'm trying to watch the little news these

9:01 days. Those aren't really Yeah, those are typically a part of your entertainment

9:05 report. Actually drive by No, But a friend of money here said,

9:09 do you hear about I'm not gonna repeat it with bad news. I said,

9:11 well, I needn't. I didn't want to know and I don't need

9:13 to know, right, all right, So I just wanted to watch less

9:18 news overall. I mean it's trying to peep up on my phone. I

9:20 said, well, I'm not clicking onto that, and I just move on

9:22 to something else. You are, I get all the updates on my phone.

9:26 You are proceeding through life on a need to know basis, is what

9:31 you're saying. Right. I think it's a good idea. I know about

9:33 you, but less news is the best for me any news now, I

9:37 don't wr whether it's it. I think you do a little bit of form.

9:43 I think you do know about me, easyg because I host a show

9:46 where we discuss these matters. So yes, I seeing you. But if

9:50 you didn't help, if he didn't hold the show with you, I don't.

9:52 I'm not gonna get into it. Yes, yes, I would.

9:54 I like to remain about good of everything going on. Yes, all right,

10:00 We're gonna move one to one of my favorite singers, April Qushman.

10:03 You might have heard of her. To get that new music smoke, it's

10:05 funny the other one with smoking barras. That's kind of weird. That's not

10:11 that weird. Actually easygh the words smoke. I looked it up earlier.

10:16 It appears in approximately point zero two seven percent of every song ever written has

10:24 the word smoke in the title. I didn't really do any research, but

10:30 yeah, I didn't. All righty, well, there's like a couple of

10:35 dates are far away, but tickets are in sales, so let's mention it.

11:03 something to do On Wednesday, she's gonna be Kellington Vermont at an event called

11:07 or at six o'clock. It's always pointing to have Kellington Verver shop. If

11:11 he doesn't, everyone stay until she doesn't do it. I guess I'm right

11:13 well that yes, that would be a logical conclusion as a Jokeman never get

11:18 old. Maybe it doesn't get old. It's it's you got some others.

11:20 I'm a big show to tell you. This girl it's not even really just

11:24 far away that she's gonna be playing with a guy on Joan Nichols. You

12:39 got a couple of interest events. Yeah, that's sure. At a moment,

12:43 Melanie Liberty and the chat says, I'm so curious how long it will

12:46 take for Easy to block me again. It's like the licks to get you

12:50 know. What happens is h I'd love to know. I don't know how

12:54 it happened, but I might have been happening day. It's worn't a week

12:58 ago. I lost all my face with friends, I'm on Facebook and all

13:01 my all my post so I don't know if what happened to be with I

13:05 get ding for an hour, but I've lost all my Facebook friends you lost.

13:09 I try to get them back, but I ask a new one,

13:11 so I don't know. It's like you don't sometimes to see easy to get

13:15 back a Facebook friend, like like our good pal Jenny that knows you very

13:31 The taco tour right around the corner, may Ford. It gets bigger

13:33 every day and better. Four pm, dight, three dollars cash for a

13:37 taco. I think they might change that a venture because most people, like

13:39 you and me, they don't carry a lot of casts anymore. I rarely

13:43 carry cash when I am approached on the street. Uh for cash, I

13:48 say, go away please, I have none to give. Yeah, I

13:52 don't have any one. I still so anyways, you might have heard of

13:54 this man, one of your favorites on a taco tour and may Fort donnerher

14:41 How did you? And it's gonna be right here at Veteran's Park. Oh

14:45 by the way, ninety two win five is a sponsor and it's gonna be

14:48 rain or Shine. How did you say that a couple of years ago?

14:50 And well that wasn't the best. So you could get a lot of tacos

15:07 is where we had twenty first round the corner on a Sunday at twelve neon

15:09 rain or shine. You show up and you just walked today. I believe.

15:15 Yeah, it's a fund raiser, and I believe if you raised some

15:16 money, even if it's a dollar, you get a free short. I

15:20 think if I get free shorts everybody, I'm not quite sure about that.

15:22 I think so after this food hot dogs, total pop, watermelon, chips,

15:26 cookies, and I don't do it I did years ago. You can't

15:30 just show up and grab the food. Is runners, I mean walkers only.

15:39 State of Illinois says in the chat room, Easy unfriended me within an hour

15:43 last year. Apparently I am the weakest link, so he said goodbye.

15:48 And I would just say to you, easyg how dare you unfriend someone from

15:52 the Great state of Illinois. Yeah, like I just told her, I

15:56 got unfriendly from Facebook and there are Facebook friends what days ago? I bet,

16:04 my Space account and unfriended Tom on my Space. I did not. I

16:08 did not having my Space account. I don't believe you. I think you

17:30 at all the artwork. It's a gallery. Well, i'll get that next

17:36 week. Thank you about to throw it down in my face, appreciate it.

17:38 I'll get that next week. And obviously it's a pre event. But

17:41 obviously it's a good idea to throw a couple of dolls in a donation jar.

17:47 I'd rather place a couple of dollars. If I throw them, they

17:49 might not make it into the jar and they could land on the floor and

17:52 then somebody else picks it up. You shouldn't throw around. Oh yeah,

17:56 I'll wrap it up a question. I mean if oh my god, we'll

18:00 prod up on the man of McCarthey. She's working on a new album now

18:03 that her wedding is in the past and the past looking at yeah, wedding

18:07 is over. Announced his new album music I can come out and then you

18:11 can get hurt just released Spotify or you get Yeah, Kristen Beach, you

18:18 can get that song on Spotify, Apple and all the platforms. I think

18:22 it's pronounced until like fifty songs. That's no joke. Guys, this guy

18:27 is awesome. A friend of man of McCarthey. You know you're gonna be

18:32 pretty good too, I think, well, yeah, I bet he was

18:34 pretty good before. You better. You know, he's just a real deal.

18:37 I mean, I never listen to this guy before. I think I

18:38 heard his name, mentioned him a lot, but I never let's do his

18:41 music. And I already told him, Oh yeah, I did get permission

18:45 from the Oato Soto. He's had to get permission. He said, you're

18:48 allowed to play his music on the radio. He never hurt. The ask

18:49 right, what you asked someone? I asked him if he wants it's okay

18:55 for a song on ninety five point three. Uh, what you should do

19:00 is you should tell him where your song is going to be played on ninety

19:04 five point three. You don't have to ask. No musician is ever going

19:07 to say no, you can't play that on the radio. Oh yeah,

19:11 I got my face. I guess you're right. That would be crazy.

19:12 I think if I should, I should get permission. I haven't done it

19:15 yet, but if he wants me to Sarah posts, then I should get

19:18 permission for that, because I've gotten hot water before for sharing a post no

19:25 One off the artisses, songs and stuff you know on my Facebook page.

19:27 I always ask, what do you ask them? Well, I'm allowed to

19:33 share some of their posts and stuff. I always like to ask permission.

19:37 Why would you ask? Why do you ask permission? If if they if

19:40 they make the post public, why wouldn't they want you to share it all?

19:44 I guess another egg in my face. I guess. I mean,

19:47 anyways, I'm going on to stuff that's I'm important, so I'll end it

19:51 for potions. I know you got a very busy show, and uh yeah,

19:55 we'll end it with that. Oh yeah, next week I'll find out

19:57 where that places and Ranchester thank you. It's called the art gallery. Are

20:03 you thinking of the Courier Gallery? Yeah, that's a Curier girl. Yeah,

20:07 oh my god, so thankfully you can clean up this. Oh my

20:10 god, cure ag Gurley ever wrote the whole thing. But you think I

20:52 I'm going to play his song. He's got a song called Smoking Mirrors,

20:55 and uh, I'm gonna play that now. This song, as easyg

20:57 mentioned, actually written by Amanda McCarthy, but Christian Beach also he works as

21:03 not only is he a recording artist, but he is a producer and he

21:08 is the one who produced Amanda McCarthy's song Sunset, which is my favorite Amana

21:14 McCarthy song. I love that song. So I'm actually gonna play them both.

21:18 I'm gonna play the Christian Beach Song and I'm gonna play Sunset. They're

21:19 both only three minutes. They're like, you know, which is the ideal

21:23 length for radio, right, So they're short. So we're gonna play those,

21:27 and we're gonna come back and coming up in just a little bit,

21:30 we're gonna hear from our friend Eric Pilcher. Uh he's he's got something about

21:36 something entertainment related to our favorite band, Motley Crewe, not not literally my

21:41 favorite. Well, they'd be in my top ten, and I think they're

21:45 in Eric's top five probably, but uh yeah, Moley Crewe. It's the

21:49 gift that keeps on giving, that that whole debacle. So let's check this

21:53 out. This is uh oh, and Eric was careful to easyg was careful

21:57 to get permission to play this the new single from Christian Beach. Uh here

22:03 it is. Check it out. Plenty more to come, don't go anywhere.

22:19 I tiptoed around the truth. I've had to sugar coat sunlies, wondering

22:30 what might set you buy because roses cover your man minds, seeingside and tendencies.

22:45 But I'm too for friend armies, so you alway, I won't think

22:53 twice. I don't be fine. I won't shut one tea, So go

23:45 find me find I don't shed one dear, go ahead and throw your bricks

23:52 honey elid mountains from your stone destis and crom nun to wear. The hair

31:02 this beautiful Thursday afternoon here in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, and I hope

31:07 it is beautiful wherever you may be. By the way, we heard Sunset

31:12 by Amanda McCarthy, and before that the Christian Veach single which was requested by

31:18 easyg, our entertainment reporter. He wanted us to play that Smoke and Mirrors,

31:22 and Christian Veach actually produced the song Sunset by Amanda McCarthy, WHI happens

31:27 to be my favorite Amanda McCarthy song, so I feared I'll play that too,

31:32 after honoring Easyg's request for the Christian Beach track. By the way,

31:37 we should mention tomorrow on the show, well, actually let me mention today

31:42 first, our friend Eric Pilcher is going to be skyping in in a few

31:45 minutes tomorrow. On the show, We've got very busy, actually a lot

31:49 going on here, not only at the station, but in our little corner

31:53 of the world here Fridays, of course, our busiest day or my busiest

31:56 day here at WMNH do this show of course from four to six pm tomorrow.

32:02 In the first hour we will have Eric's classic film review. This week

32:06 the subject is Escape from New York. And then in the second hour we'll

32:09 be joined in studio by a musical guest. Andrea Paquin is going to come

32:13 in and play for us. In fact, I'm gonna play one of her

32:15 studio tracks at the top of the hour today, give you a little preview

32:17 of that. But she's gonna be joining us live in studio and is going

32:21 to play some tunes. Looking forward to that. And then of course from

32:24 six to seven pm tomorrow we have granted State of Mind, hosted by Rob

32:29 az Vito and Paul Stone, and this week should be their first week back

32:31 at the Barn, or back at the Bonn as some say around here at

32:36 Pembroke City Limits where during the warm weather they record the show. There they've

32:39 got the full bands. You come in with the full setup and playing ice

32:44 and loud, and they do an interview and really great. I love those

32:47 editions of the show. And then of course tomorrow night from eight to eleven

32:51 pm, it's Retro Spectrum Radio with Paul C and I have the honor and

32:53 privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts on that program. So Fridays are

32:58 very busy here and my favorite day of the week here at WMNH. Also

33:01 a couple of things going on Tomorrow night as well right downtown that you should

33:07 know about. Across the street. Right across the street, at our amazing

33:09 sponsor, the Hopknot, they've got live music Rebecca Turmel. We played some

33:15 of her music the other day. She's gonna be performing live tomorrow night from

33:19 seven to nine pm. They're mostly doing live music on Saturdays now, but

33:24 they do have a booking for tomorrow night, so Rebecca Turmel will be there

33:30 live, and then up the street at Disness Cafe. I think the address

33:34 is eight sixty Elm Street from five to nine pm. Peter White, of

33:37 course of the Morning Show with Peter White, He'll be appearing at Disness Cafe.

33:43 He is the celebrity restaurant tour for the evening, so I think they've

33:47 got a special menu of things that he has selected, and he's working with

33:51 Matt Kushine, also known on the Morning Show as Morning Show Jesus from the

33:55 Hope NH program. So they're going to be raising money for that at and

34:00 it sounds like a bunch of the Morning Show crew will be there with Peter.

34:05 So that is tomorrow night at Disneys Cafe. That starts at five pm

34:07 goes to nine pm. So if you can swing by there, enjoy some

34:13 delicious food, say hello to Peter and everybody from the Morning Show. And

34:16 from what I'm told, Bob Friedas is going to be there with his famous

34:21 or infamous squad dogs, so you can get one of the squad dogs.

34:25 It's a hot dog. If you're wondering what I'm talking about. Why if

34:29 you're going wait, wait, there's dogs at the restaurant. No, it's

34:30 a hot dog. But they're gonna be uh, they're gonna be doing that.

34:34 So so that will be tomorrow night from five to nine pm at at

34:37 Disney's Cafe. But today, of course, you can give me a call

34:42 right now at six ZO three two five six Z seven. The studio line

34:45 is open six ZO three two five O six ZO seven. You can text

34:47 me at six one seven nine one seven four or four seven six. I'm

34:52 on social media at Matt Connerton and h think this is our friend. Uh,

35:00 thank god, what is going on our friend? I'm hearing an echo

35:07 our friend. We've got some kind of shenanigans happening Eric, is that you

35:19 yep? I had the show on day Oh oh, you're like one of

35:23 those people who calls the radio show from their car and then the host has

35:28 to say, please turn down your radio, sir. You're kind of sassy

35:32 today. I am. I'm sassy. You know, people like what I'm

35:36 sassy. We've done here at WMNH. We've done extensive research which shows that

35:44 seventy eight percent of WMNH listeners like me when I'm sassy. Did that come

35:51 out in the ratings book? It did? Yes? Yes, Hi.

35:53 Right now, now we don't have the kind of ratings that we used to

35:57 have, of course, because we don't have anyone from New York or calling

36:00 the show. Uh not recently, but but that's why. So in order

36:05 to compensate for that, Eric, I'm trying to bring up the sassy I'm

36:12 hearing an echo. That's amazing. Oh sorry, hold on, is it

36:21 better? Uh let's see. Let's see what happens when I say something.

36:24 Okay, good, I'm not hearing an echo now? Perfect? All right?

36:30 Good? So yeah yeah, well uh easy, Gee forgot a couple

36:36 amazing stories in his entertainment report. Uh yes, well, you know he

36:42 doesn't always. Uh. I'm not sure what his approach is exactly in terms

36:45 of what to cover and what and what not to but yes, what did

36:51 he what did he leave out? Well? Tomorrow and missing out on a

36:55 major marketing uh, major marketing ploy Doctor Dre will re release his album The

37:04 Chronic Yes on vinyl for the first time ever. Oh no kidding. The

37:13 Chronic was The Chronic was never available on vinyl originally widespread. Okay um.

37:20 But an interesting side note to that is I didn't know this till I learned

37:24 it yesterday. But death Row Records has a new owner. Oh I didn't

37:31 know that either. Yes. Uh. The reason why all the Chronic is

37:38 being rereleased in doggie style is being rereleased dog Food by the Dog Pound.

37:45 And uh the above the Rim soundtrack with the tupoc track Pain, which was

37:52 only available on the cassette version of the soundtrack is Snoop Dog owns death Row

38:00 Records. Oh no kidding. Yes, he has purchased death Row Oh wow

38:08 recently, this just happened. Yes, Um. His cloth how I found

38:15 out is his clothing brand, Crooks and Castles started restarted releasing clothing with the

38:22 death Row logo on it and I'm like, okay. And then I was

38:27 skimming through in music news and stumbled upon that, and it was like,

38:32 now it makes sense. Okay. So yes, Snoop Dog owns Death Row,

38:39 which if you are a fan of nineties rap, you cannot get past

38:45 the influenced death Row records. Ad Now, who did he Who did he

38:50 buy it from? Suge Knight? Oh, Suge Knights still owned it all

38:55 the time, Suge Knight owned he owns all of it. Now Suge Knight

39:02 owned a little bit of it. The rest was owned by someone through bankruptcy

39:07 court. Oh okay, I was gonna say, because I didn't think that

39:10 Sugar Knights still owned the whole thing. Okay. So so someone, someone

39:15 we don't know, probably someone who likes to remain not in the not in

39:21 the foreground of things, that owned it through bankruptcy court. Okay, Oh

39:24 that makes sense. So so Snoop has acquired it. Oh that's cool.

39:29 Yeah, not a bad thing at all. No, not a bad thing

39:31 at all. And like I said, if you're a fan of nineties rap,

39:36 you know who death Row is. I mean it provided one probably one

39:40 of the biggest rivalries in music history. East Coast versus West Coast. So

39:52 I know in my high school and now I look back at it and I'm

39:55 like, we were just stupid. They banned clothing with the death Row Records

40:04 logo in the Bad Boy Records logo. Really, I kid you. Not

40:09 in Cedar Rapids white boys would get into fistfights. Oh my god. In

40:16 Cedar Rapids, Iowa in schools over were you East Coast or West Coast?

40:24 Wow? Really? Yeah? Wow, that's crazy. That didn't happen here

40:34 in New Hampshire. Nothing never got that serious here. Wow, that's shocking

40:39 to me. Actually over, Like I want to say, I was really

40:47 upset about it because I'd finally found a Death Row Records shirt here in Cedar

40:52 Rapids. I bought it. I was gonna wear it to school, and

40:58 like the day before I was going to wear it, they announced that Cedar

41:01 Rapids Community school districts were no longer allowing just apparel that pictured that that specific

41:13 group or its artists. Wow. Um, well, I mean, you

41:20 know, if kids are getting in fights over it, I can understand why.

41:22 I guess, jeez, that's crazy. Looking back then, it was

41:28 serious stuff, but now it's like men, were we stupid? What was

41:35 it was it just fights or did it escalate beyond that? What did anyone

41:38 ever show up at school with a gun or anything? Or no, no,

41:43 no, no, no, no, nothing like that, nothing like

41:45 that. No, it was just people got into fights over it. Yeah.

41:52 This at my high school that I ended up going to, a kid

41:57 was wearing a death Row records, sure, and a kid ran up and

42:02 just sucker punched him and said, bad boy. Baby is so bizarre.

42:08 Wow. Scott Robinson says in the chat room in New Hampshire, we get

42:15 in fights over who's better Roth or Hagar. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

42:22 we roll hard here in Cedar Rapids. Apparently. Apparently. Crystal says in

42:28 the chat room, Snoop Dogg is doing lots of stuff lately. He oddly

42:31 enough, even cooks with Martha Stewart. They are funny together too. Well.

42:36 The thing about Snoop Dogg is I cannot think of another example of a

42:40 of a major celebrity who and and it's been this way for a long time.

42:45 This isn't a status that he's reached just recently either, It's been this

42:51 way for a very long time. He simultaneously, you know, he's you

42:55 know, he was part of the gangster rap movement, if you want to

43:00 call it that, and and but but while simultaneously being also very sort of

43:06 mainstream and family friendly. And he and he is able to maintain all of

43:12 his credibility on both ends of that seamlessly. And I can't think of another

43:16 example of of anybody who occupies the kind of space in pop culture that Snoop

43:23 dog does where you know, you you don't you don't necessarily if you have

43:28 kids, you don't necessarily want them listening to Snoop Dogg music. But he

43:32 is this mainstream, family friendly celebrity for the most part. And it's he's

43:38 at least he's become that, and not recently either, Like I said,

43:42 it's it's he's been that way for a long time, you know what I

43:45 mean. It's it's kind of impressive how he's able to just just do that

43:52 right, And it's really, you're right, it is quite impressive. Um,

43:58 I think it's really how do I say this? I think it's because

44:04 he's authentic. I think there's a sense of authenticity with him. Yeah,

44:10 that that you know, you don't get when other rappers try it, you

44:16 know, I mean, ice Cube kind of got raked over the coals when

44:21 he did the movie the Are We There Yet Films? Yeah, he lost

44:27 his street cry and but Snoop, You're like, it's really hard to and

44:34 I think a lot of it is is because of the struggles he had at

44:38 the end of Death Row Records and when No Limit Records signed him, he

44:45 was broke, he was dested, he had nothing. Yeah. I remember

44:51 reading at the time. I remember reading interviews like in Source magazine and magazines

44:58 like that where he would talk about that like he was down to his last

45:00 one. You know, people assume he was this super rich guy because he

45:04 was famous and uh and so successful and he was down to his last He

45:08 said he was down to his last twenty bucks when he signed with No Limits

45:12 or No Limit? Is it no Limits or No Limit? I forget limit

45:15 record, No Limit? Yeah, master P. Yeah, Now that's a

45:21 group that has not aged well. That that is music that has not aged

45:29 well. There's only so many times you can hear a grown man grown make

45:34 him say I will I will say this though. I have always very much

45:39 respected master P for this reason. He's one of those people who just his

45:44 work ethic is oh yeah, I don't know if he sleeps or not.

45:47 But I remember reading about him. This might have been in source. Um

45:53 he was. They were talking about how he's he's in the studio there recording

46:00 an album and he's falling asleep, like he's desperately trying to stay awake.

46:05 But you know, he had been up since five am, you know,

46:07 working on his his multimedia empire, and he just he had been pushing himself

46:13 so hard that he's, you know, trying to stay awake. But he's

46:15 he's he's having a hard time. And it wasn't because he was on drugs

46:19 or anything like that or inebriated. He just he was he was exhausted because

46:22 he just worked so hard. And again, I don't know if he's still

46:27 like that today. Uh he may not. He may not be because he

46:30 made his millions. But uh, but I all, I've always respected that

46:34 about him. That's a hard working dude, he is. Um b et

46:39 did uh. They had a series called chronicles. They did one the first

46:45 one was on No Limit Records, the second one was on the Rough Riders,

46:51 and the third one was on Death Row. Yeah. Um, and

46:55 I watched the No Limit one and yes, his work ethic and his drive

47:04 was amazing. Yeah. Um, so yeah. The other thing that EASYG

47:09 missed out on is today, Season two of the Beavis and Butthead reboot premiered

47:16 on air Amount Plus. Oh did it, Yes? It did. Um.

47:23 I haven't seen any of the new Beavis and Butthead except for one clip

47:28 that I happened to see recently. It showed up in my YouTube feed and

47:30 I don't know why, but I watched it and it was really funny.

47:34 It was Beavis. Beavis goes to apply for unemployment. You've seen the clip.

47:40 I've seen the episode. Oh okay, I just saw that the clip.

47:45 He goes to apply for unemployment and he gets sent to uh, he

47:50 gets uh, he gets a job as an aid like a home aid or

47:54 something, and he the house. He shows up at his Butthead's house,

47:58 and it's really I can't do it justice, but it's really really funny.

48:05 Oh yeah. There was not a down moment of season one of the reboot.

48:13 See. I didn't see any of it, but everything I heard about

48:15 it was really good. Mike Judge has not lost his touch. If anything,

48:20 he's gotten better, like his ability to take these characters in. They

48:25 have been on for decades now yea, and they're just they still stay relevant.

48:32 So in the new show, is it they're they're grown up there they're

48:37 adult men or does it does it move around in time or how does how

48:42 does that work? That they It really helps if you watch the film Beavis

48:46 and Butthead Do the Universe. Okay, that I forgot that movie existed.

48:52 I remember Beavis and Butthead to America. In fact, I think you and

48:55 I disagreed on that movie because you liked it, whereas I didn't think it

48:59 was very funny. Oh I love doing Beavis and Butthead Do America. Yeah,

49:05 to release that on four K, let's go um uh, but yeah,

49:13 it's Yeah. If you watch Do the Universe, it does a great

49:19 job of actually explaining how they like they going back, going to current day

49:25 and future Beavis and butt Head. And yes, so if you I would

49:34 watch that film first, because you encounter smart Beavis and smart butt Head.

49:39 Oh okay, because there's different timelines okay, both head introduce the episodes that

49:49 have old Beavis and Old Butthead. Okay, oh interesting, all right,

49:53 I'm curious to see that. Then. Yes, it that is on Paramount

49:59 Plus, as is the first season and the two episodes that aired. They

50:05 also have been Tom Anderson his own uh Tom Anderson War Stories. Yes,

50:15 uh it is. I can't do it justice. Just if you like Hank

50:22 Kill or like Tommy Anderson, you gotta check it out because it is absolutely

50:30 hilarious. Oh wow, Okay, but yeah, this interesting turn of events

50:39 with the train Wreck that used to be the world's most notorious band. Yeah,

50:46 I think they're still the world's most notorious band, just for wrong reasons.

50:52 Yeah, well now that they were ever necessarily the right reasons. But

50:59 so, of course we're for those who don't know, we're talking about Motley

51:01 crue Um. Yes, so I sent you the article and in probably the

51:09 most unmetal or unrock and roll move, apparently, Carmine a Piece, the

51:17 drummer of Vanilla Fudge, well that's what he's most known for, received a

51:24 cease and desist letter from Motley Cruz lawyers. Oh by the way, just

51:30 a side note. I don't know if you know this area. I not

51:34 to not to name drop or anything, but I know a guy who once

51:38 interviewed the keyboard player for Vanilla Fudge, which is pretty pretty impressive. Yeah,

51:46 you might know him too. I forget his name, but but yeah,

51:50 I actually it's like that whole six degrees of separation thing. Yeah,

51:54 I think it's like, uh, I don't know, delusional Jenny or something.

52:00 This is very inside I know. But yes, uh yes we we

52:05 we know someone who interviewed the keyboard player, although for all we know,

52:09 it might not have been the keyboard player. The person we're referring to who

52:13 might have been catfished, who knows. But but but I but I digress.

52:17 But yeah, So then I was because I knew I was calling in.

52:22 So while I was listening to Easyg's Amazing Entertainment Report, I was scrolling

52:31 through and La Guns member Phil Lewis has now chimed in on Motley Crue and

52:44 what he says is bait is this and this is yeah, Phil said,

52:52 as transcribed by blabbermouth dot net. And I am going to edit it because

52:58 blabbermouth dot net does not. It's incorrigible, isn't it. It really is.

53:04 It's such a swindle. It's probably a lot better. I mean,

53:07 that'd probably sound like utter blank if they were live with the big stadium in

53:14 the big lights and Vinced singing in the way that we've known to come in

53:17 love. They in. He's speaking, of course, of the of the

53:27 allegations that we now know are probably accurate that Motley Crewe toured basically to a

53:35 tape track. Yes. Um. Then he continues, they really are a

53:40 bleeping atrocious band. They always have been, and the only good player,

53:45 the only good one in the band, has been very unceremoniously dismissed. I

53:52 never liked them. I never did. I never bought one of their records.

53:55 I love the girls, girls girls. I hated all of it.

54:00 Occasionally I caught the attention to Nikki, and he doesn't like me. I'm

54:04 a sad little pumpkin as to what he thinks about me. I just find

54:07 him to be a big fraud. It's a punishment of luxury. Somebody that

54:12 becomes a millionaire at such an early age and they never really develop social skills.

54:17 It's like taking a bird out of a nest when it's not ready to

54:21 fly. It won't develop. And I don't think really that any of them,

54:25 the three of them, aren't very well socially developed. They're not very

54:30 good and mix a different category entirely because he was so much older before success.

54:37 Success can be a punishment quite often, and in their case it must

54:43 be just so painful right now, having been idolized for so long and now

54:47 to called out as frauds essentially a sorry, essentially as an instrument holding Milli

54:54 Vanilli as a disgrace, They've got to be hurting real bad. So that

55:00 was Phil Lewis of LA Guns who said that, yes, okay, oh,

55:07 by the way, oh there's another example by the way of six degrees

55:09 of separation. So I'm wearing my Edgewise hat and Edgewise opened for La Guns

55:14 here in Manchester. Really, yes, yeah, yeah, So Phil lewis

55:21 not joining the Motley Crue fan club apparently not. Apparently not so so what

55:28 is so the but this carbon a piece thing? This got legal? He

55:30 gotta, He says he got a cease and desist letter from from Molly Crews

55:35 lawyers. Yeah, he basically got a cease and desist letter. Let me

55:40 pull the article up. Yeah this this this is uh strange. Um.

55:52 Yeah, I'm scrolling through because he did a very long interview. Yeah,

56:01 because this has been this is this has been going on for a little while,

56:06 right, his tiff with Nikki six well, it's not a tiff.

56:10 He's working with Mick on new music. Oh I didn't realize that, okay.

56:15 And Mick basically how this all started is with Carmine a Piece. He

56:22 told them to make guitar that they had basically been talking about his exit from

56:27 Motley Crue and Mick just told them. And it sounds like it was just

56:30 like in conversation, not that Mick was bashing them, but when I was

56:37 on the stadium tour, I was not happy. Basically everything was on tape,

56:42 it was all planed out and ultimately a lot of crap. Okay,

56:46 So he told that to Carmine a Piece and Carmine a Piece dropped it,

56:52 and then NICKI went on Twitter and basically called Carmine a Piece a washed up

56:58 drummer and said he should shut his mouth about Motley Crue business. I'm paraphrasing

57:04 there, yeah, and then carmina Piece said, well, this washed up

57:08 drummer actually knows how to play his instrument. How about we have a jam

57:13 off? And then carmina Piece a couple of weeks later was hit with a

57:17 cease and desist. But what is the so Molly Cruz lawyers sent him a

57:23 cease and desist. But what is it that they want him to not do?

57:27 Well, like, yeah, go ahead, I'm pulling it up.

57:32 I'm actually going to go into my messages with you because I sent to you

57:36 the article here. Oh yes, yes, not throwing you under the bus.

57:40 I just remembered I sent it to you. Yeah, yeah, scheduled

57:45 this and I'm like, oh, yeah, be easier than just to go

57:49 through my history and find it, because I can't imagine that he's I mean,

57:54 you don't usually get lawyers involved just because somebody says, you know,

58:00 well, you know this such and such band is using backing tracks. I

58:06 mean, that's you know. I mean, and and by the way,

58:08 you know, as I explained on the show a couple of weeks ago,

58:13 all the big bands with the big tours, at the very least, they

58:15 do use a click track because you've got you've got all these stage effects that

58:22 are timed to go off at certain points in the song so that so that

58:25 the band doesn't get lost and you know, the wrong bit of Pyro detonates

58:31 at the wrong time. You don't want that. So everybody plays to a

58:34 click track that's in everybody's in ear monitors, so there's always there's always something

58:38 and a lot of backing vocals. By the way, I tell everyone this

58:43 too. If you see a band live and you get to it's a song

58:46 where there's a loud as many bands in this genre have, you get to

58:52 the chorus and there's like a gang vocal where it sounds like it's a whole

58:55 bunch of people singing at once, and you know, you only see were

59:00 three of the guys on stage. You're singing into their mics and you're wondering,

59:01 well, not that anyone ever wonders in the moment, but where are

59:05 those other voices coming from? It's it's it's piped in. And that's another

59:09 reason they used the click track, so that that all happens on schedule during

59:14 the song. But here's what's interesting, and I actually talked with Dirk Don

59:22 about this today, Yeah, over the phone. It is how like I

59:28 get that, Okay, nobody's perfect. Yeah, fine. It's everything else

59:34 that ties into this. The video of Tommy Lee walking up to the drums

59:37 and the drums playing um, how horrible Vince Neil sounds on that click track.

59:45 Yeah, the fact that Vince Neil needed a teleprompter last year on the

59:51 Stadium tour. I never I never hold that against anybody. I mean,

59:55 Ozzie's had that for probably decades, and that I don't mind that. I

1:00:00 don't mind that any anybody can forget lyrics. I think that's fine, Okay.

1:00:06 I mean if we're looking if we're looking at in the whole scheme of

1:00:10 things, it's a needle in a haystack ideal that Vince needed a teleprompter.

1:00:17 But this just adds to it, yea, and creates this. I mean,

1:00:24 they are easily you said in my top five, and they are.

1:00:29 Yeah. I was gonna go see him in Fargo in Fargo this year and

1:00:36 I canceled. I'm not going. I can't go, Yeah, because I

1:00:44 can't a condone what they're doing to mc mars. I think that's reprehensible what

1:00:52 they're doing to him, and be like, I don't want and I've said

1:01:00 this before in regards to this, I don't want to ruin the memory I

1:01:05 have of seeing them live. Yes, yes, that's something I can relate

1:01:08 to. Actually, um, you know, I I like I can.

1:01:15 I had somebody asked me if I was going to try to go to uh

1:01:19 you know, the like, Kiss has their their final shows coming up in

1:01:22 December, and it's like, uh, you know, first of all,

1:01:24 it would be a huge hasshole to try to get tickets anyway, but uh,

1:01:29 but you know, at this point it's like plus as a part of

1:01:31 me too psychologically, I don't want to acknowledge that it's ending, the Kiss

1:01:36 is actually ending, um, because it's it's that's hard for me, but

1:01:40 um, but also too, it's like, you know, my favorite period

1:01:44 of the band has already come and gone long long gone. To me,

1:01:49 the most exciting And I'm in the minority among Kiss fans when I say this,

1:01:53 but to me, the most exciting period of Kiss was in the early

1:01:59 nineties, you know, kind of the second or the last third of the

1:02:02 the non makeup era of the band. So you know, it's like,

1:02:06 those are the memories that I cherish the most of seeing them live and how

1:02:09 to go see them now. And and you know, they use some backing

1:02:13 tracks for some of Paul's vocals. Everybody knows that, and it's like,

1:02:15 you know, I'm good. I mean, I'm not mad at him about

1:02:20 that or anything else. I mean, geez, they're in their seventies.

1:02:22 Now. But uh, but I'm fine with not not seeing them one last

1:02:28 time, you know what I mean. Yeah, and I'm in the same

1:02:30 boat. Um, it's just so unfortunate because and I did get that article

1:02:37 pulled up. Someone asked him basically, Carmine a piece. Uh basically.

1:02:45 Uh. He was in a new interview with gold Mine, which I'm rock

1:02:50 rock magazine, rock website, I would guess, and he said this,

1:02:55 and this is a direct quote from him. Oh, it's about the reaction

1:03:00 to this story. Oh, it's been unbelievable. Did you see what came

1:03:05 out since them between Nick and the rest of the band. I'm sure you

1:03:08 did. It's also sad, but it vindicates my story, which I never

1:03:13 thought would start an entire viral internet thing. The response that came out of

1:03:17 it was amazing, and his NICKI Six's response of calling me a washed up

1:03:22 drummer was pretty wild and pretty hurtful. But I got a great response from

1:03:28 people through their comments, and a lot of people are behind me, so

1:03:31 it's all good. That said, I did get a cease and desist letter

1:03:37 from all these lawyers who worked for Motley Crue, so I can't go into

1:03:40 too much detail, but I have to be careful with what I say.

1:03:45 But then again, we're not really talking about details. We're just talking about

1:03:50 what happened. It was really surprising thing because we were friends, and after

1:03:55 the fact, I challenged Nicki six to a jam off, but I got

1:03:59 no response. I'm not surprised, as I could jam circles around all of

1:04:03 them, I'm sure of that. But yeah, what he said was sad

1:04:08 because we were friends, but I guess not anymore. I got texts from

1:04:13 Derek sharon In saying, man, what the hell is wrong with Nikki?

1:04:17 And Stephen Pearcy apparently said to NICKI, do what the hell are you doing

1:04:21 here? We're all friends. And then I started to see a ton of

1:04:25 responses from other musicians who said that they don't like Nicki and the rest of

1:04:30 those guys too much and that the fans have been getting on Motley a lot.

1:04:34 I read that and I was like, oh my god. I didn't

1:04:38 know that. I really didn't know about any of that stuff, so I

1:04:41 had no way of knowing that this whole thing was going to get as big

1:04:45 as it did. Close quote wow. So it kind of started with him,

1:04:53 Yeah, it really did, And you know, I do follow Motley

1:04:58 Crue on a variety of social media channels. Um so yeah, uh,

1:05:06 I do follow him and do follow them, and I can't say that fans

1:05:12 have been up in arms about it. Yeah. I was like, when

1:05:15 we talked about this last time, I observed that it seems like public sentiment

1:05:20 is largely with Mick Mars, And uh, yeah it is because Mick Is.

1:05:30 You said it, and I I kind of you know, I said,

1:05:33 well, I think he I didn't agree with you, but I didn't

1:05:38 disagree with you. I wish washed. I was wishy washy on it.

1:05:43 Yeah, um on you said that Nick Mars was the most talented of the

1:05:48 group. Um, And I was like, yeah, okay, but um

1:05:54 look, I'll just come out with it. I I I love Nicki six.

1:06:01 And there's personal reasons why I love Nicki six. Yeah. NICKI,

1:06:06 like myself, had a tough life growing up. NICKI, like myself,

1:06:15 battled his demons, you know. So there's a lot of you know,

1:06:21 similarities that I find in reading his story. Yeah. But I've also heard

1:06:27 interviews with NICKI six and can honestly say Nicki six can be a d bag.

1:06:36 It's a giant. I told my friend Brandon. This the issue with

1:06:40 Motley Crue is this, you have three egomaniacs that are different types of egomaniacs.

1:06:50 You have Vince, who's stuck on Vince for reasons that no one that

1:06:57 I can understand. Um. You have Tommy, who is just uh,

1:07:04 driven by adulation and gets an ego trip whenever it happens. And then you

1:07:11 have NICKI, who thinks he's just this big time businessman, business minded guy.

1:07:19 So they all have different vices that have led to their egos. And

1:07:25 the least, the one with the least ego of them all is Mick mars

1:07:30 right, that by proxy makes him the sacrificial one. Yeah, he's always

1:07:36 come across as the most down to earth and um yeah, and then and

1:07:42 I get it what you're saying about Nikki six. How you kind of have

1:07:45 you know, It's it's easy to I think. And part of it is

1:07:50 just the nuance and the complexity of life, um, and and the nuance

1:07:57 and complexity of humans. You know, we uh, we we often will

1:08:00 have mixed feelings about people that we look up to, you know, like,

1:08:04 um, listen, you know Kiss is my favorite band I love,

1:08:08 Uh, you know, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons are my my heroes.

1:08:12 But I have to tell you when it comes to Gene Simmons, and you

1:08:15 know, I look up to him in many ways, but but there have

1:08:18 been moments over the years where I mean, have you ever seen the movie

1:08:24 Never Too Young to Die? You know, it's hard to see that and

1:08:27 not have mixed feelings about Gene Simmons. You know, but that's probably a

1:08:31 poor example in today's climate. But but the thing is, I've I've like

1:08:35 he's he's said things that make me cringe. Like I remember years ago he

1:08:41 was very enthusiastic about Rick Perry's candidacy for the presidency, and you know,

1:08:46 it's like, really, Gene, you know, there there are there are

1:08:50 things about Gene that bother me, but I still love him and I and

1:08:54 I do think in many ways he is a very positive role model, you

1:08:58 know, no drugs, no alcohol, um. But then you know,

1:09:00 but there's other things about him that make them not such a good role model

1:09:03 necessarily. But U But but I think it's easy to have sort of a

1:09:08 complicated relationship with your heroes, you know what I mean. So I get

1:09:12 I get it, Yeah, I I yeah, so and that's I love

1:09:17 that you said that about Jean, because I was a major fan of the

1:09:24 show Jean Simmons Family Jewels. Yeah, I watched it every week, even

1:09:32 though I have seen Kiss live once and I walked away pretty disappointed. Really.

1:09:39 Yes, Uh, I went to their farewell tour in two thousand your

1:09:45 rapids, So just to clarify for listeners who don't know, so, um,

1:09:50 Yes, in two thousand, end of ninety nine into two thousand,

1:09:54 Kiss did the farewell tour. Now, the tour that they're on right now

1:09:56 is the end of the road tour, but the farewell tour was the final

1:10:00 tour of the original four members. Um and then they decided to go on

1:10:04 without the original four, which is how we got to where we are now

1:10:08 at the end of the road tour. But that's what the farewell tour was.

1:10:11 So it was the last tour of the original four together. And that

1:10:15 tour was rough because they were not all they were not getting along. There

1:10:20 was there there are reasons why it had to be the end of the original

1:10:26 lineup and uh and and Peter Chris was was not playing well, and Ace

1:10:30 was unhappy and the whole band was unhappy. That was a that was a

1:10:33 rough tour. So I'm actually when when you said when you said you you

1:10:38 walked away disappointed. I in my mind I'm thinking, I bet it was

1:10:42 a farewell tour, and then you said it, I'm not surprised that was

1:10:45 a rough tour. I remember I walked out of the concert and I'm sorry

1:10:50 if I offend you. Man, No, don't worry about My friend Mikey

1:10:56 was was with me, goes, what do you think? Can I go?

1:10:59 You wanted the best, you got the best, my boy, Yeah,

1:11:03 I get it. I get it. And then I absolutely read Gene

1:11:08 Simmons's book Kiss and Makeup, Yes, when he talked about it in depth,

1:11:14 and I did research and realized that I was probably pretty unfair because Ace

1:11:19 Fraley was being a complete d bag. Yeah, they had a lot of

1:11:25 problems. The only really good shows apparently the shows they did internationally, because

1:11:30 after after they finished up the American leg of that tour, Peter Chris didn't

1:11:34 even finished the tour. So Eric Singer, who had been in the band

1:11:39 before a few years earlier, at the end of the non makeup Eric came

1:11:43 back and replaced Peter Chris and this shows like online, the shows of them

1:11:46 playing in Japan, for example, with Eric Singer instead of Peter Chris,

1:11:51 and those those are really good shows because Peter was so bad at the end,

1:11:58 he was dragging the whole band down, and Eric Singer really just kind

1:12:01 of revitalized the whole thing. So it's it's unfortunate that you had to see

1:12:05 them with Peter Chris. Yeah, I saw him with Peter Chris. Yeah,

1:12:11 it wasn't as bad as nowhere near his bad is when we had people

1:12:17 near rioting. When Marilyn Manson canceled his show thirty minutes in here in Cedar

1:12:26 Rapids. Oh really, you were there. I wasn't. No, no,

1:12:31 I was not allowed to go, but I had friends who were there.

1:12:34 And yeah, I think I've told the story before. Basically it was

1:12:40 right after Mechanical Animals came out, Yeah, and he was performing one of

1:12:46 his earlier hits and a stage hand had put a smiley face over his swastika

1:12:54 that was a stage prop. Oh my god. He flipped doubt and just

1:13:00 left. He had come back up out and perform. He had a wait,

1:13:08 he had a swastika on stage or the SS lightning bolts it was a

1:13:14 sign of keep in mind, this happened in ninety nine, so I'm forty

1:13:18 now I'm old. My memories fuzzy. It was let's just say ss logo,

1:13:26 okay, some kind that he had a smiley faced sticker on it.

1:13:30 He got mad, stormed off the stage, refused to come back out,

1:13:35 only performed for about thirty minutes. Wow. Uh, And I'm saying wow

1:13:43 to multiple things about that story. People lost, like, people were getting

1:13:49 were mad, people were throwing stuff, people were kicking doors at the arena.

1:13:56 It was bad. Like there was at least I want to say,

1:14:00 thirty to forty squad cars that ended up having to go to downtown Cedar Rapids.

1:14:04 Yeah, I'll tell you what, Eric, Cedar Rapids. I would

1:14:10 not have expected you. You make it sound like a very exciting place between

1:14:15 the you know, the the riot at a Manson show and the near riot

1:14:19 near right near riot, and then then the kids in school fighting over death

1:14:24 Row versus uh, you know, East Coast versus West Coast. I mean

1:14:28 that's the like I kind of want to visit Cedar Rapids. It sounds exciting.

1:14:32 Uh, it has its momentum. The Death Row bad Boy that is

1:14:39 called stupidity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, look that is dumb. But

1:14:45 no, um, I mean yeah, we've had some crazy moments. You

1:14:49 know, our entire city being washed away underwater basically in two thousand and eight.

1:14:56 That was fun. Oh wow, yeah, did a dam break or

1:15:00 something? No, the Cedar River, the levees broke, that's what I

1:15:05 mean. Yeah, le damp under like thirty two feet of water. Oh

1:15:10 my god, I don't even remember that. Really. When was that two

1:15:13 thousand and eight? They'll flood of two thousand and eight they evacuated both of

1:15:18 our major hospitals here in Cedar Rapids. Oh wow, Yeah, I were,

1:15:26 and during that time I worked for a new station that the station was

1:15:30 literally twenty five feet away from where the floodwaters stopped coming up. See that's

1:15:36 a problem with having the word rapids and the name of the city. It

1:15:41 becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Yeah. We were running the news station for

1:15:47 the for like three weeks after was running on a power generator. Huh no

1:15:53 kidding. We had to use porta potties because they shut off our water.

1:15:57 Yeah, to help with water assumption. Oh my god. We had no

1:16:02 street lights. We had the National Guard blocking our news station, protecting us.

1:16:09 Like, if you wanted to use the porta potty, you had to

1:16:11 go up show a National Guard member your badge. They walked you through the

1:16:15 porta potty and stood outside while you did your business. Wow, that's incredible.

1:16:24 That's incredible. You don't know who's gonna come up to you. It

1:16:30 was completely pitch black. Yeah, you worked about sixteen hour days. They

1:16:36 gave us. They had cots at the new station and catered in food throughout

1:16:42 it. We were walled wall coverage for over a week. Wow. Yeah.

1:16:47 I was mad because I was a college I was in college at the

1:16:50 time. Yeah, and I'm like, man, I'm earning all this overtime,

1:16:55 but the bars are closed, the adult clubs are closed. There's no

1:17:00 where to spend this extra money. Yeah. Wow boy. Cedar Rapids,

1:17:05 Iowa, that's a that's a uh. Maybe I don't want to go.

1:17:09 I'm afraid of getting caught in a flood. So uh. And then are

1:17:14 twenty twenty we had a landborn hurricane hit really uh huh win us up to

1:17:23 one hundred and fifty seven miles per hour in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Yep,

1:17:30 look up dur Rachel, Wow, that's crazy. I didn't know that.

1:17:41 Yeah. I was working from home and like it's one of those things

1:17:45 that you're just like, oh, it's a bad storm, and you walk

1:17:47 outside with your cousin and you're like, we're not in Kansas anymore. Toto,

1:17:54 you sure it was a hurricane. It wasn't a tornado with some rain.

1:17:59 It was a land born hurricane. That's crazy. Wow. Yeah,

1:18:03 I didn't know that was a thing. I honestly, I didn't know that

1:18:08 was even a thing. I didn't know it was a thing until it happened.

1:18:11 Yeah, it must be rare. Wow, well seen a rapid sounds

1:18:16 like a frightening and dangerous place. I don't ever want to go there.

1:18:21 I mean, I'm kidding, but uh my goodness, Yeah it must be

1:18:29 rare. Well, yeah it is. It is quite rare that, uh,

1:18:33 that it happens. Someone said, Eric, that's so cool. We

1:18:39 say, no, no, it wasn't cool. Yeah, that's a I

1:18:44 period. Plus Michael's law. I think they're from Greensboro, North Carolina.

1:18:48 I'm thinking you're right now. But yes, yes, that that it was

1:18:53 not cool. I did not enjoy that experience. Well we are, uh,

1:19:00 we're getting late in the show, I should get to a break.

1:19:02 But any anything to add about the this current uh installment of the the Motley

1:19:10 the Motley Crew Trained derailment. What's that? We kind of no pun intended,

1:19:15 We kind of got off track there. Yes, yes, that's all

1:19:17 right. I think it's you know, uh, they're in the studio recording

1:19:24 John five in Bob Rock is producing it, who produced their quintessential albums Girls,

1:19:30 Girls, Girls and Doctor Feel Good. Yeah. So, um,

1:19:35 it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out because their contention and we

1:19:41 went over this last time is well we're a turning band. That's why Mick

1:19:45 is only entitled the five Percent, right, So yeah, yeah, it's

1:19:53 going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Um, but I

1:19:58 do think we are in the end of Motley Crue. Yeah, probably.

1:20:06 I mean honestly, after their last tour when they signed the cessation a touring

1:20:14 agreement, Yeah, that should have been it. That was a fitting end.

1:20:17 Yeah, but of course it wasn't going to be. I I've seen

1:20:20 people on online complaining, you know, well, of course when they announced

1:20:26 the stadium tour, which kept getting delayed because of COVID, you know,

1:20:30 people were complaining. Oh, they said, they did this whole ceremonial thing

1:20:33 where they signed a contract promising to be the one band that never comes back

1:20:39 after they do their quote unquote farewell tour, and I just it's it's like,

1:20:43 but why would anyone, why would anyone fall for that? Like how

1:20:45 naive do you have to be to believe that? They're called it? I

1:20:49 called it when The Dirt premiered on Netflix, yes, and blew up and

1:20:56 then and then their music on uh streaming services were number one for like two

1:21:02 weeks. Yeah, I'm like, they're coming back. Yeah, yep.

1:21:06 I'm like, and I go back to the ego part of it. Those

1:21:11 egos will not allow this moment to pass, right, of course, Yeah,

1:21:17 there was this there was too much money on the table, and but

1:21:20 I think it would have happened even without that. It would have happened eventually.

1:21:24 Anyway, everybody you know somebody, well, I remember, this goes

1:21:28 back, this goes way back to the early nineties. But when Ozzy Osbourne

1:21:32 did his Farewell tour, it was called the No More Tours tour because you

1:21:38 know, the song No More Tears was a big, big hit at the

1:21:40 time, so he was doing the No More Tours tour, and he actually

1:21:45 he I read this interview with him in one of the magazines at the time.

1:21:47 I think it might have been Hit Parader or Metal Edge, and he

1:21:50 actually comes right out and says in the interview that, well, I don't

1:21:55 know if this is really going to be the last tour. You know,

1:21:57 I might change my mind tomorrow, who knows. I'm not even sure now,

1:22:00 Like like before the before this farewell to or even starts, he just

1:22:04 gives the game away and says that might not really be the end, who

1:22:06 knows, And of course it wasn't. But uh but I always thought that

1:22:12 was funny. He just came right out and said, yes, it's probably

1:22:15 not really the end. It's like, okay, cool suckers for buying most

1:22:21 tickets. Yeah, but yeah, you can you can never believe them.

1:22:27 You can never believe them. Well, Eric, we'll we'll let you go

1:22:29 in a moment, but before you go, please plug the film review for

1:22:33 tomorrow. Yes, it is the John Carpenter. It's such an amazing film.

1:22:42 Because I say this a lot with the films I review, but it's

1:22:47 really one of them that you you cannot say that it's this type of film,

1:22:54 Okay, that's just so much. In Escape from New York, it's

1:22:59 an amazing film. And I want to say I haven't done the research on

1:23:06 this statement, but probably the last majorly successful independent release for John Carpenter.

1:23:15 Yeah, because I do say this in the review. It was made on

1:23:18 a six million dollar budget, it and it raked in over twenty five million.

1:23:25 Okay, but I think that this was it because then I think he

1:23:29 did major studio releases like Starman and what ended his major studio run, Big

1:23:36 Trouble in Little China, which we've already reviewed. Okay. Oh, Melanie

1:23:42 says in the chat room, Snake is my hero. Snake Pliskin is the

1:23:47 most underrated action hero in cinema history, played by um Kurt Russell. Yeah,

1:23:55 I was blanking on his name. Yeah, yeah, I mean in

1:23:59 really star a string of great collaborations with John Carpenter, which I forgot to

1:24:03 even add in there, because you have Escape from New York, then you

1:24:09 have the Thing, and then you have Big Trouble in Little China, and

1:24:13 then Escape from La Yes from New York, which only watch if you're a

1:24:19 completist. Gotcha understood? Well, we look forward to that, Eric,

1:24:26 and that will be of course tomorrow. Eric Pilcher's classic film review of Escape

1:24:30 from New York and thank you for skyping in today. I enjoyed the conversation

1:24:34 as always, and Molly, Molly Crue the gift that keeps on giving.

1:24:40 Yeah, much like the diseases they have caught from groupies. Well well that

1:24:45 might be a discussion for the other show. But from what I was gonna

1:24:50 say, I understand. All right, Eric, thank you so much,

1:24:56 my friend. Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure anytime. All

1:25:00 right, take care, byebye. All right. That was our friend Eric

1:25:03 Pilcher, all the way from the very exciting Seat Rapids, Iowa. So

1:25:08 we're gonna take a quick break. I'm gonna play a song. This is

1:25:13 called reach Up. This is from Andrea Paquin and I'm featuring her music because

1:25:17 she's gonna be here with us tomorrow in the second hour. She's gonna bring

1:25:21 her acoustic guitar, gonna play a couple of songs for us, or a

1:25:24 few songs, or a bunch of songs, or however many she wants to

1:25:27 play. So just give you a little preview. This is one of her

1:25:30 studio tracks, and I like this a lot. So we're gonna play this

1:25:34 and we're gonna show some love to our amazing sponsors and then we'll be back

1:25:38 with the balance of our show. But this is really good. This is

1:34:00 of course, we will have Eric Pilcher's classic film review and this week the

1:34:02 subject is Escape from New York and we'll hear that at some point during the

1:34:08 first hour, and then in the second hour we're going to be joined tomorrow

1:34:11 in studio by a great musical guest, Andrea pack When that was one of

1:34:15 her tracks that you heard going into the break, that was called reach Out,

1:34:19 one of her studio tracks, and I really like that song a lot.

1:34:24 I don't know if it's one of the ones she's going to play tomorrow

1:34:26 or not. We'll see, but she's gonna show up with her guitar and

1:34:28 play for us, and really looking forward to that. Friday's, of course,

1:34:31 are very busy here in this little corner of the universe here at WMNH,

1:34:38 we have this program and then of course at six pm on Fridays we

1:34:40 have granted State of Mind, hosted by the great rob as A Veto and

1:34:43 Pauli Stone, and this week should be, I believe, their first show

1:34:48 from back in the barn at Pembroke City Limits where they record the show during

1:34:54 the warm weather. Can't do it during the winter, but in the warm

1:34:56 weather when it's nice, and I think I think the nice weather that we're

1:35:00 having is hopefully going to hold for a while. They do the show there.

1:35:04 They have the full band set up and they record the band live and

1:35:08 do the interview and whatnot, so so that'll be cool. I always enjoy

1:35:12 listening to those shows. And then of course tomorrow night from eight to eleven

1:35:15 pm, I will be back for retros Spectrum Radio with Paul C. I

1:35:20 have the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts on that show,

1:35:24 as well as DJ Steve, who I see in the chat room as

1:35:27 well. Hello Steve, And I think this week hopefully the return of our

1:35:31 other co host, Mike from Queen's City Cabinetry. Queen Queen City Cabinetry of

1:35:39 course also one of our great sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three in

1:35:43 the historic sunb Mall. But Mike also became officially one of Paul's co hosts

1:35:49 on Retro Spectrum Radio with POLC and then proceeded to injure himself, so he

1:35:57 was made a co host and then got hurt and hasn't been on. But

1:35:59 I think tomorrow night might be the night we see the re emergence of Mike

1:36:03 from Queen City Cabinetry on Retrospectrum Radio, so we really look forward to that.

1:36:09 Mike's a great guy, so we'll have fun. It'll be a lot

1:36:12 of fun. A couple other things going on tomorrow night too, related to

1:36:16 WMNH. Right across the street at our amazing sponsor, the Hopknot Live Music

1:36:23 tomorrow night from seven to nine pm, Rebecca Turmel will be performing live,

1:36:28 and we played some of her music earlier in the week, but she will

1:36:31 be there live at the Hopknot from seven to nine pm tomorrow night. And

1:36:35 of course, and they've been talking about it a lot on The Morning Show.

1:36:40 Right up the street at Disney's Cafe, Peter White is the celebrity restaurant

1:36:45 Tour if I'm saying that word correctly, restaurant tour. He will be there

1:36:50 from five to nine pm, and I believe the Morning Show various members of

1:36:55 the Morning Show crew will be there as well, and Matt Cuche and of

1:37:00 course also known as Morning Show Jesus from Hope NH. He and Peter have

1:37:03 worked on this event. It is to raise money, of course for Hope

1:37:06 NH, which is a wonderful, wonderful cause, Hope I believe is helping

1:37:13 our pupils. Excel. I think I have that right, but it's a

1:37:16 great cause, of course, you know, every Christmas time they do the

1:37:19 miracle on Elm Street, and they're working together on this event tomorrow night at

1:37:23 Disneys Cafe from five to nine pm, and from what I understand, Bob

1:37:28 Friedis will be there serving his famous squad dogs. So you can get a

1:37:31 squad dog or you can get something from the menu that I believe Peter White

1:37:36 requested certain things for the menu. I'm not sure exactly how that works,

1:37:40 but so that's a big deal, so check that out too. So there

1:37:43 is lots going on. Like I said, it's going to be a very

1:37:45 busy day tomorrow in our little corner of the universe here at WMNH in downtown

1:37:51 Manchester, New Hampshire. But again, if you'd like to call in with

1:37:56 a quick quick call six zo three two five six zero seven six three two

1:38:00 five six zero seven. You know it's funny. We had our friend Eric

1:38:02 Pilcher on the line with us for a while on Skype. I forgot to

1:38:05 ask him there was something specifically I was going to ask him about, but

1:38:08 we'll save it for next time. But there was some breaking news I just

1:38:11 happened to see coming on the air today that his boy Dan Bongino is leaving

1:38:17 Fox News apparently, or has left Fox News, and I just I was

1:38:20 thinking about that because I remember Eric wants saying that he was a fan of

1:38:25 Dan Bongino. I'm myself not a fan of Dan Bongino, but I know

1:38:29 that Eric is and uh apparently uh Bongino is moving on. So I was

1:38:32 gonna ask Eric about it, and I totally spaced it. But uh,

1:38:36 let's I do want to say hello some folks in the Facebook live chat quickly

1:38:41 because there were some comments in there regarding the conversation that Eric and I were

1:38:47 having. Uh let's see him kind of going back here. Oh, DJ

1:38:53 Steve says, Mark Stein is the name of the keyboard player for Vanilla Fudge.

1:38:58 You know, we were talking about a piece who is the drummer in

1:39:01 Vanilla Fudge. But yes, Mark Stein was the name of the keyboard player.

1:39:04 Because I actually, guys, I know it's it's shocking six degrees of

1:39:11 separation. I know somebody who claims to have once interviewed the keyboard player from

1:39:17 Vanilla Fudge. Can you believe it? It's I almost feel like just knowing

1:39:20 that person who interviewed Mark Stein, I feel like I interviewed Mark Stein just

1:39:26 by Osmosis. It's it's really incredible. Again, these are very inside references.

1:39:31 But if you know, you know, and hopefully you're laughing. Scott

1:39:36 Robinson had pointed out, you know, in New Hampshire we fight over who's

1:39:40 better Roth or Hagar. I just just my personal opinion on that, of

1:39:44 course, the great Van Halen debate. I love them both for different reasons,

1:39:48 love them both, respect and admire them both. But gone to my

1:39:53 head, I gotta go with Hagar. He's got the pipes. I just

1:39:56 love his voice. Fifty one fifty is my favorite Van Helen album. So

1:40:00 love them both. But if I had to choose, I go with Sammy

1:40:04 Hagar. Although if you're talking about solo material solo material, I would actually

1:40:12 go with Roth because David Lee Roth on his solo albums, he takes some

1:40:17 chances and there's some surprises, whereas the Sammy Hagar solo album it's great,

1:40:23 it really is, but you know what you're getting. There's no surprises.

1:40:27 Roth will actually surprise you, let's see. But I do love them both.

1:40:31 Crystal says Roth had the Justin Jiggielow and everywhere he goes people know the

1:40:36 part he's playing advantage. That's true. Yes, a lot of car horns

1:40:42 outside someone's a car alarm is going off. Ah, yes, the sounds

1:40:45 of summer. Isaac Banks from Greensboro, North Carolina, joins us and says,

1:40:50 good afternoon, Matt. How are you doing. I heard you had

1:40:54 a guest yesterday. Matt, Well, we often have guests. Yeah,

1:41:00 uh, that is that is true. Oh, yes, yesterday I was

1:41:05 us forgetting who we had for a second. Yesterday we had the court jesters

1:41:10 skyping in in the second hour. Um. Isaac Banks also says, Matt

1:41:15 Connerton, My favorite Motley Crue song is Smoking in the Boys Room. Yes,

1:41:19 uh, not a favorite of mine. That is actually a cover by

1:41:23 the way, Brownsville Station, I believe is the name of the band that

1:41:26 did that originally, but never one of my favorites. My favorite Molly Crue

1:41:30 song is Primal Scream. I love the bassline in the beginning, It really

1:41:34 drives the whole song. Love Primal Scream. And of course you know the

1:41:39 entire Doctor Field Good album is great and uh and I also love as Eric

1:41:45 and I had previously discussed the self titled album that they did, the one

1:41:48 album that Vince Neil did not sing on but instead they had John Karabi.

1:41:53 That is an under underappreciated gem. Misunderstood, for example, is a fantastic

1:41:59 song, and that is from that album. So let's see. Oh,

1:42:03 Steve Light says in the chat room too, dj C if that's funny because

1:42:06 it's a cover from Brownsville Station. Yes, yes, Isaac Bank says,

1:42:12 Molly Crue song wild Side is my favorite eighties song from the movie Like Father,

1:42:16 Like Son. I don't think I've seen the movie Like Father Like Son,

1:42:19 but I do love that song. Wild Side is a great song.

1:42:26 Miriam banishes in the chat room, she said something interesting. You know,

1:42:29 Eric was talking about how he's not really interested in seeing Molly Crewe at this

1:42:31 point. He'd rather keep the great memories of when they were great, and

1:42:35 I had said, I can kind of relate to that. I have no

1:42:38 particular desire to see Kiss at this point, even though they're you know,

1:42:42 they're down to their final shows on the end of the road tour. But

1:42:45 I'm you know, I'm good, I'm all set, even though they're my

1:42:46 favorite band. And Miriam said, I totally get that feeling. People I

1:42:50 know can't fathom why I don't want to see Elton John because I was a

1:42:56 huge fan for many years. I love the music, but my memories are

1:43:00 enough. Yeah, exactly, I completely get that. M Isaac Bank says

1:43:09 I've seen VH one behind the music of Motley Crue. Matt Connerton, Yes,

1:43:13 yes, Uh, let's see. DJ Steve says I loved Ozzie's Retirement

1:43:19 Sucks tour a year after he retired. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we

1:43:24 were talking about that Ozzie. You know, he did the No More Tourist

1:43:27 tour where he said he was retiring, but then then he was back almost

1:43:30 almost immediately. Uh, let's see. Um. I plus Michael's Law says,

1:43:47 uh, we say Vanilla Fudge of the band was in the sixties.

1:43:53 They were on the Ed Sullivan Show. Yes, yes, well the person

1:43:58 I'm thinking of who interviewed Mark Stein from Vanilla Fudge is about that age where

1:44:02 he would he was probably uh he probably saw them live on the Ed Sullivan

1:44:09 Show. Again, these are very insider references. I apologize, and we're

1:44:11 almost out of show, but uh, just a couple things quickly. Well,

1:44:17 we'll look at um, you know, dominion. We haven't really had

1:44:24 a chance to get into it in depth this week. But Dominion won there.

1:44:27 Well, they want to settlement. They got their settlement out of Fox

1:44:30 News. Uh, Dominion isn't the They're not the only ones on the hook.

1:44:33 I'm sorry, Fox News isn't the only one on the hook. Rather

1:44:38 Mike Lindell. You know Mike Lindell, the the My Pillow guy. Apparently,

1:44:43 uh he he is being sued. He has been sued for you know,

1:44:46 he puts out all this information about how this data that he has about

1:44:51 the twenty twenty election, and uh, you know, people get a little

1:44:57 bit suspicious that it might be malarkey what he's putting out there, because you

1:45:01 know, it's Mike Lindell, and he seems insane. And he did this

1:45:06 five million dollar challenge. If you could prove him wrong, that his data

1:45:11 was bogus, you could win five million dollars. A Trump supporter took the

1:45:15 challenge. Someone who voted for Trump took the challenge and proved Mike Lindell wrong.

1:45:21 And Mike Lindell has been refusing to pay. This is from CNN dot

1:45:27 com and this is an update on the story. Just in the last few

1:45:30 minutes. My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell ordered to follow through with five million dollars

1:45:35 payment to expert who debunked his false election data. Poor Mike Lindell says here

1:45:43 my pillow. CEO Mike Lindell has been ordered to shell out five million dollars

1:45:45 to an expert who debunked his data related to the twenty twenty election. According

1:45:50 to a decision by the arbitration panel obtained by CNN, Lindell, a purveyor

1:45:59 of election conspiracies, vowed to award the multimillion dollars sum to any cybersecurity expert

1:46:04 who could disprove his data. An arbitration panel awarded Robert Zeideman, who has

1:46:13 decades in software development experience, a five million dollar payout on oh yesterday he

1:46:18 was This was ordered after he sued Lindell over the sum. CNN has obtained

1:46:29 arbitration documents and video depositions, including a deposition of Lindell, related to the

1:46:34 dispute. The arbitration panel wrote in its decision, quote, based on the

1:46:41 foregoing analysis mister Zideman performed under the contract, he proved the data Lindell LLC

1:46:48 provided and represented reflected information from the November twenty twenty election unequivocally did not reflect

1:46:58 November twenty twenty election day. To failure to pay mister Zeideman the five million

1:47:02 dollar prize was a breach of contract, entitling him to recover unquote. The

1:47:09 decision marks yet another blow to the my Pillow CEO's credibility after he publicly touted

1:47:14 unproven claims of widespread fraud in the twenty twenty presidential election. Lindell has also

1:47:19 faced defamation suits related to his election claims. Brian Glasser, a founder of

1:47:29 Bailey and Glasser LLLP, who represented Zideman, said, quote, the lawsuit

1:47:32 and verdict marked another important moment in the ongoing proof that the twenty twenty election

1:47:38 was legal and valid and the role of cybersecurity and ensuring that integrity. Lindell's

1:47:44 claim to have twenty twenty election data has been definitely disproved unquote. By the

1:47:49 way, there's um I remember scene online video of Lindell had this big event

1:47:56 where he was unveiling data and he had He's up on a stage and and

1:48:01 they've got the big screen and some sort of PowerPoint presentation and it's like who

1:48:09 watches anything like this? And thinks. I mean, it came off to

1:48:13 me from what I saw it, just in the presentation alone, forget the

1:48:17 substance or lack there of the presentation itself. It came across to me about

1:48:24 as credibly as watching Rudy Giuliani standing in front of four Seasons landscaping in lawncare

1:48:32 with black goop dripping down his face, rambling about election fraud. It was.

1:48:39 It was about that level of credibility. I would say, I understand,

1:48:44 if you know, depending on who the audience is, you may you

1:48:47 may want to believe the nonsense that they present, but but it is nonsense.

1:48:53 All right. Anyway, there's more to this, but we don't have

1:48:56 time, so we will begin to wrap up. Oh Crystal in the chat

1:49:00 room, says Mike Lindell is an odd little man. Yes, by the

1:49:03 way, I do. I will say this, and I'm I don't.

1:49:06 I don't say this sarcastically. I genuinely mean this. I do respect him

1:49:11 for building this, this empire, this my pillow business, which is hugely

1:49:15 successful. Um. You know, he overcame h, he overcame addiction,

1:49:20 uh and uh and built a business empire, making millions and millions of dollars.

1:49:27 Um. I, you know, I do genuinely respect that, but

1:49:31 uh, but he also has played a role in the disinformation campaign regarding the

1:49:39 twenty twenty election, and for that I disrespect him. Crystal said in the

1:49:44 chat, Matt, do you think Bongino leaving Fox had anything to do with

1:49:47 the settlement Fox did with Dominion They claim contract dispute and articles, but timing

1:49:54 is super suspicious. That's a great point, Crystal. I don't know,

1:49:58 but perhaps we will learn more in the future. I would like to I

1:50:01 am curious about that as well. All right, well, thank you all

1:50:05 for joining me today. I appreciate you all, and I think we should

1:50:14 just for you know what, Actually, no, let's do this. I

1:50:16 think we should end with because she's going to be here tomorrow, I think

1:50:20 we should end today's program with another Andrea Paquin song. What do you think

1:50:26 Andrea Paquin? Of course, if you're just joining us and did not hear

1:50:30 me mention it earlier, she's gonna be oops. I typed Andre Paquin.

1:50:33 That's not her name. Andrea Paquin is going to be our in studio guest

1:50:40 tomorrow in the second hour. We've got a great show for you. Tomorrow

1:50:44 we have a Eric's classic film review and this week the subject is Escaped from
