That opening track was Until the End of Time by Factory of Art. They're going to be joining us today in the second hour, skyping in all the way from Germany. Really looking forward to talking with those guys, and we'll hear some more of their music later. But welcome everybody. It is that time again. It's Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of wm H ninety five point three FM in glorious downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Also on Comcast ninety seven if you're in Manchester, and hello to all of our online listeners across the nation and around the globe.

Today is Wednesday, May third, twenty twenty three, and I am not alone. Rank Rocks up. Hello. Hello. John Hoppo is here at the newsdesk. Hello Matt. Hello, It's odd seeing you at this time of day on a Thursday, I mean on a Wednesday. Rather. What's also is odd is I've noticed that the Peter Whitehead is drinking the giant cardboard. Peter Whitehead is shrinking.

Perhaps it contracts when the weather changes. Perhaps perhaps yes, yes, when you get bigger during this type of weather. I don't know. I don't know how that works. It is cardboard, of course, yeah, and not metal right right, So does cardboard expand during the humidity or or doesn't shrink? I would think we would expand. It's fibris mm, that's true. That's why, Matt, they're so little possibility of they're actually being plant based aliens because of the tough cellulose walls and their cells cells celluloise.

I understand. Yes, it'd be very difficult for them to do like what anold Schwatson Egger and others have done. And how do movies is alien? How do you say his name Schwatzenegger. I like it better that way, Schwatson Egger. The other one suns vaguely of scene the way you really pronounce it us understood. Yes, well, welcome everybody. We do have an exciting show. Of course, John Hopwitt is here. And then at the top of the art we're gonna be joined a via skype by a factory of art. I really like their sound, really good power metal band from Germany, and I hope their accents are such that I'm able to understand them, but really looking forward to that.

I love their sound, love their sound, really good stuff. If you'd like to join us on the show today, six zo three two five six seven is the number six O three two five O six Z seven. You can also text me at six one seven nine one seven four four seven six. I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email me Matt at Matt Connerton dot com, and of course you can interact endo pine in the Facebook live chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear and enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six O three two five zero six O seven.

And it sounds like uh oh, by the way, just sits and salo in the chat room. Jenny is in the chatt and says shaloon peeps. Also our friend Crystal from the Great State of Illinois as hello everyone, and Isaac Banks says good afternoon, hashtag Matt and uh so uh John hoppoit and I we each have a story to tell about celluloist based aliens being impossible no, because they can't like morehysiasically right, that's more information than it is a story and more Eric's you know, heavy reviewed territory.

Ah, yes, yes, So now our our stories have something uncommon and the thing in common is the YouTube. Now my story as a twist, almost bomb. The the the CrOx of the story will sound familiar to regular listeners. But this, this has a twist. You'll never guess what it is. This has a This has a twist, Okay, a surprise ending to this story. So I have in the past, as I've complained many times about you Tube and their policies, not so much about their policies but the way they're enforced. Because so so two things that I've gotten in trouble with YouTube for and you know, they send you a strike and you get threatened.

You're gonna lose your channel if you keep this up, all this chicanery. Two things, two specific things. One is COVID misinformation. Even though I do the opposite of spread COVID misinformation. I'm pro vaccine. I've taken COVID very seriously. But apparently if I even so much as mentioned or acknowledge the fact that there are people who don't feel that way. The bots that detect these things, detect these things in my videos, and I get a strike for spreading COVID misinformation, even though I would never actually do that.

The other thing, and this is part of today's story. The other thing that I've gotten a strike for in the past, on more than one occasion, is spreading false and misleading information about the twenty twenty election that is romoting and we all that your election deny or come on, sure, sure, no, this is the thing, this is the thing. No, I am not, And in fact, I spend I've spent a lot of time pushing back on all that nonsense in terms of election, the election being stolen and so forth. I refute all of that.

But apparently, once again, if I even bring up or like say, I make fun of Rudy Giuliani standing in front of four Seasons landscaping and lock here with black goop dripping down his face, just spewing out his lives, Apparently, me even just acknowledging that election denialism is a thing, I get a strike from YouTube for that, even though that's the opposite of what I do. But apparently the bots don't know the difference. And I'm not a big enough I'm not big enough on YouTube to have an actual human sample the content, because you know, I always appeal it every time I get a strike and then but but I never win the appeal, and it's like no human being listening to this would actually think that the strike was valid.

So my hope is always maybe an actual person will listen to this and then realize, oh, okay, the bot got it wrong. But that never happens. I want an appeal, but we'll get We'll get to that. Yes, we'll get to that. Nah. So um, so I have been very careful over the past year, really, as you have to be, because three strikes and you lose your yes. Yes, well, but the strikes to fall off after ninety days. Um but if but if yeah, if you get three within a nine d day period, yeah, you're screwed. So I've I've been careful.

Um. There have been days that I don't upload the show to YouTube. If I if either of those two subjects happen to come up, this today's show will not be going up on YouTube obviously, and instead I've been putting them on Rumble, which is where all the conservatives go. And I'm not a conservative, but but you know, but gee, no wonder Rumble's popular. You can go there and not be treated uh horribly. Uh and you know, and again there's there's some things on Rumble that I'm horrified by when I look at the home page when I go to upload a video.

But whatever, I'll still put my content there. It's a chance to pee in the pool, which I enjoy. Not literally, it's a figure of speech. So you were in a pool with a bar, well, I mean it wouldn't matter. There's chlorine. What's it matter at the end of the day.

Yeah, well there you go. No, but uh so, uh well, so today I got a strike and the strike was for misinformation about the twenty twenty election. It is. Now, that's the part of the story that is familiar to everyone who's heard me complain about YouTube for the past year two years. Here's the twist, the title of the video. Well, here, I'll give you a little hint. I'm gonna give you a hint, and let's see if you can guess what the twist is. John. Apparently I did you know this about me? I didn't know this about me.

Apparently I am a time traveler. What's the twist? You denied the twenty sixteen election Oh, the twenty twenty four election. Nope, nope, twenty twenty eight, nope. All right, I'll just tell you the title of the video that I got the strike for for spreading misinformation about the twenty twenty election. The title of the video is Matt Connerton Unleashed November thirteen, twenty seventeen. So apparently, sorry for laughing. So no, no, it's okay. Apparently I have gotten a strike for preemptively spreading misinformation about the twenty twenty election three years before I said election actually took place.

Hey, you know, I've been talking about retro causality, but nobody everybody thinks you know, and you had a thirteen drop out of the Satanic Poor. That's when a people gonna start to believe there may be a connection there, that that thirteen that dropped out of the out of the ceiling might have foretold because thirteen that the date on that show is November thirteen, twenty seventeen. That's the one that got the strike. So of course I will I will appeal it and maybe this one I'll actually win for a change.

But yeah, so I got I got a strike. That that's the twist. I got a strike for a video from three years before the twenty twenty election. Welcome to Oshania, Welcome to George Orwell's imagined future, which no, Well,

I can't say I'm happy about this particular element of it. It's uh. But this is why, this is why people get so fed up with YouTube. It's not just conservatives, it's everybody because it's it's because this stuff doesn't make any sense, and then they chase people away. Yeah, but there's been if you're following the Twitter revelations, which you are impossible to wade through them all at the time they're coming out, the Twitter files, the Twitter files tibe, which yeah, Tebe bad from banned from Twitter himself because they had a falling out.

Yes, but that was over. He publishes on sub stack because Matt Taiebe has been what should call gray listed. You see, there used to be a blacklist from forty seven till about nineteen sixty in Hollywood about communists and fellow travelers. But there was also a gray list. So you'll notice that Henry Fonda, who was a registered Republican but very liberal, doesn't appear in any movies from roughly like nineteen forty seven two cheese till the mid to late fifties, and so did Edward g Robinson, who was a personal friend of FDRs.

It was just a liberal, but he was gray listed. Yea, And so you can't you know, work Edward g Robinson work. Both of them were well established actors and very fine actors, so they made they're living on the Broadway stage during that because there was no blacklist. But we have a gray list and a blacklist, and Matt Taiebi basically has been gray listed. Yeah yeah, and so has the Pulitzer Prize winner, the one that broke the wiki leagues, the guy who now lives in Brazil, whose name just isn't coming.

I could see his face Greenwall. Ye. Crystal said something in the chat that makes me think that I wonder if um so in November of twenty seventeen. It's possible, but I said something that might have confused No, there is no, there's no and if for about this. Now you're in the Soviet Union, I'm trying to figure out our stuff. I'm just trying to figure out why a bot I assume that's what it was. A bot must have picked something up. And I wonder if I may have been talking about um. You know, Trump always claimed that he actually won the popular vote in twenty sixteen and that they sold the popular vote from him.

I might have been talking about that. A bot heard me talking about that there were twenty sixteen elections deniers on the Democratic side. We might have been talking about that. I probably was there. We were probably talking about something. They were denied that the election was still the election was stolen from Hillary somebody who who was absurd because she supported the Electoral College after it's screw screwed, the Screme Court screwed, and she conceded, and she conceded the next day and then But you know, that's what the Clintons have.

They have their amen corner. And Hillary never funny enough. I don't know if you remember this, John, Hillary never sent a violent mob to overrun the Capitol, but she would have if she could. Violent lesbian baby sacrificing witches. But they were already there. You've been hanging out at COMT Pizza. Yes, now good, Oh, Crystal says twenty seventeen. Maybe the topic was Russian collusion. Who knows something? Why are you trying? You know? Well, I'm just I'm not saying to you, but this crystal cut it up, forget it.

Well it's absurd, Well, it is absurd. If you ever studied McCarthyism, if you ever studied the Soviet Union, you'd be shot for something happened from your cousin for twenty five years ago. Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's a witch hunt. It's about it's about silencing people. Well, I think it's I think it's more just a bot picked up something. Uh so the bots are but it is, but there is a broader issue, clearly because couldn't happen after so many years. It's right we have to go to mine. Now. Bobby Kennedy Junior came to Manchester, New I'm sure, which across the border Saint Anselm's College, also also also known as Robert F. Kennedy.

I just want to Robert put that out there too, because that's how the media keeps referring to him. So that's how people are more likely to know him to uh came to our fair burg because to speak in defense of the New Hampshire primary which Joe Biden has uh mictorated on. I'd like to use a word that much more Anglo Saxonism than I want victory. It's a good word. Mictorate is the Greek for your version of and urinate is the Latin eight one. Yeah, he told that. He told did what Jerry Ford did to New York back seventy five, dropped dead to the state of New Hampshire because he's an unprincipled f bomb.

But let's get back to who I voted for twice and uh twice I vote from the primary. I was emotionally blackmailed on that one. But m and uh so I took a video and they put it on YouTube. So that was March fifteen. Wait, just to be clear, as you took a video of the event where he spoke, right, Okay, him speaking at the at an okay and Saint and some college is where they have not the Institute of Politics where when you watch New Hampshire primary, that's where everybody is when they're doing their debates and stuff.

And he was there and I put it up and I got a strike, which I've never gotten a strike in my life. Well really, and I said, you have, you haven't lived. This is pure reportage. I'm a journalist. This is a reportage. This is just film. Now what was this is what film? What was the reason anti vax vaccination disinformation? Gotcha? Okay, COVID nineteen disinformation? Yeah, because they he he is an anti vax or, isn't he? Or is he? I don't use the term anti vax or so much. We could parts that And then because we are going to be able, we're not putting this on YouTube now today, So it is not going at least not the first not the first half.

If you you know, there's a lot I disagree with him about the effects of vaccines, but I've never really so much looked into it. Yeah, to be frank, I just I've been vaccinated so many times when I was in the army and stuff. But uh, and you know, I've been vaccinated and that. But that's but that's what they ding do for specifically, right. But he's talking about But the main thrust of what he was saying, he was talking about the vaccination industry capturing the government organizations that are supposed to regulate it, which is a perfectly valid argument and one I've known for years.

But but all all the bot here is is someone talking about that. But I said, I am covering this. Yeah, there it is. I won that one. You did win? Excellent? Excellent? How long did it take after you submitted the appeal? Did you appeal immediately thereau came right back or whatever? Did you get a notification or did it just I got a strike and then it was gone. I was curious because I've never actually won my appeals with YouTube, so I was curious what happens if they notify you or if it just the video just reappears.

So this morning I get a message from somebody in another country in the European Union and they're no longer in the European Union, England, saying are your RFKA videos to still up? I said, I won that appeal. He said look again, Oh no. So I go on and at two and a half minute video that was up at the exact same time I got the strike. Yeah, was taken up and I was given a strike. It's two and a half minutes where it's called the you know, our FKA junior talks about the Vaccines Act of nineteen eighty six and he does yeah, and in it I had to I found it because they take it away.

It's gone, right, so you yeah, But my other one came back this is gone, but I have I have all the files. Yeah, because I'm not dealing with twenty seventeen. I'm dealing with March. Every like ninety days. The thing goes on argis sooner goes on a hard drive. So I would have to go if I was going back to twenty seventeen, to be like we're which. Yeah. But so I listened to the thing and he talked about nineteen In the nineteen eighty six the pertussis vaccine had become notorious. He didn't use that word.

But I just don't take what he says. I'm not a drumper, right. I actually looked it up and there was a problem with the vaccine. Sure, there were deaths, sure, and uh and he said there were deaths and he mentioned that and he mentioned the company. Yep, why okay, and and uh that's really all he said. Because he said stuff like that, I disagree with that. We're having a pandemic or epidemic of certain things, noob because of the vaccines. But he's not saying the vaccines using aluminum. He's talking about immunity a debt, right.

He was talking about stuff that runs in my family, like my father had nineteen twenty. So it's like, yeah, I'm gonna take this with a grainish salt because I can think, and I can think for myself, and I can listen to somebody to agree with what they say here and disagree with what they there. Right, that's what it's about. There's there's there's actually five or six of us left. Did you know that? And that's what democracy is about. That's what free speeches above and you know nobody, Uh you know, well, I don't really know the Bible, so I can't like like Jesus knew what he was talking about all the time.

Uh. All I know about the Bible is what I've seen in movies with job nastin sure and others and others. Yeah, basically, yes, I was kept on. I was a vaccinate against religion. But I know that. But it's so absurd to think, oh, you're okay six weeks later, but you see Bobby Kennedy Junior RFK Junior hit twenty percent in the polls, and Andrew Sullivan, who has been gray listed because he wrote about the he when he was the New Republican. There never I never liked Andrew Sullivan as I'm an old lefty.

Yeah, an old one, an old Bolshevik type. You know, I'm not exactly brought into those three. If the name is familiar with people aren't sure. He's a gay conservative. He's British, right, See, he wasn't as conservative as Yeah, he is conservative, and he took over the New Republic, which was liberal. Yeah, so he and he irritated me. He's but he's not a paleo. No, he's less conservative than he used to be, I would say, too, and not as conservative as William Buckley was at the time. But will Buckley wouldn't even seem as conservative anymore, right, I know.

But see, he really irritated me, and he irritates me at times, But I really I've always read him. I used to read Christopher Hitchens, who was more in my line of polas. But he used to irritate me too because he'd say stupid thing. Sure he could say two good things and a really stupid thing, right, right, you remember the stupid things. Yeah, and I was also mad for some other reasons. That's part of you know, the marketplace of ideas. But he uh was the editor of the MPR and he did a cover story in the Bell curve, which was very controversial in the early nine IQ Rightli ran a.

He was the editor of the New Republic and it was about IQ and there were racial overtones too, it yea. And because he did that twenty years ago, suddenly he's everything that he was involved with. You're no longer employed by the idn't know. I didn't. I didn't know that. But that explains why I never see him anymore. He once again he's on substruck, and the the rare occasion that I do see him, it's like, oh, there he is. I forgot about him. Right, he's been I call the Great List. It's really a blacklist.

Yeah, he's been blacklisted for a crime that happened twenty years ago. Stricks that that's stylinism. But why wouldn't he be able to uh, I mean there's a whole uh conservative conservative media. No, he's not part of that. But he doesn't feel I get it, No, I get what. You're actually an intellectual, he actually thinks. Right, It's like you know William Buckley, Yeah, I get what. It's crazy, but he was a thoughtful person. Right, Barry Goldwater. You know, we have a president now with the exact foreign policy.

It was a kid that considered a lunatic. Yeah, Barry Goldwater, head of Paul. You know, sixty four policy was to challenge the Soviet Union right in eastern Europe and not be afraid of exchanging missiles. Does that sound familiar, folks? And uh, jeez, you know you get old enough, everything comes around. Yeah, because it's all an illusion. But now I'm being. I'm being. It's just i'd like to I like to be more earthy language. So the so the first the first strike, you got that appealed, and then so the strike it was so what about the strike on the second video?

I just I just appealed. I would like to I would like to sue YouTube. But you know the great thing now is people. I grew up with it. I studied with Howard Zen. It was as left wing as you could get at the Times People's History United States. Suddenly all we all knew that the FBI was utterly corrupt, CIA was unconsciable. They call it the secret government. That and we've talked about Trump back in twenty sixteen that said his beliefs comes from that same era. They called the deep state. It's incredibly corrupt and evil.

Now suddenly people that I know they actually took on the FBI and stuff. Oh, the FBI isn't so bad anymore. People you know, Yeah, like a certain attorney from Washington, DC. Oh, not him. I know lots of people, Okay, I don't know how many been on the shows in the past. I don't know who. I mean. I'm not going to point them all, but they were like reliable left lefties. Yeah, but you gotta understand we're from a left wing that you know, there was the new Left that was before us, and we were the left wing that came at influenced by people that came up in the thirties and forties, like hours in then the new Left, the people like Tom Hayd and then the student radicals and then the bit.

One of the big issues was nuclear power and that and we remembered the Vietnam War. I remember organizing. I was president of student government Bust University, financing a bus to protest the draft. Yeah, which that came back Kara, Jimmy Carter, who was a conservative. People, Jimmy Carter was a conservative and an incompetent. Frankly, I still voted from overall. Reagan again you know, funny, how well your personal pure your motions, Jimmy, He followed up, you know, so, so can you tell us more about RFK and and and the experience of going to see him speak?

And how how long did he speak? I'm not quite sure less than an hour? Yeah? Are you always anybody that's disciplined Trump? As I've told people, you go to as many speeches. I've seen politicians, congressman twenty minutes, players and people like fifteen. At most congretions, twenty s will go thirty, vice president will go up forty yea, and president goes forty five to fifty. You don't leave go an hour. Then you go to see Trump. Instantly, I wasn't allowed to go cover Trump. They rejected, Oh no kidding, fine with me, He'll talk for an hour and a half.

Oh yeah, just other nonsense and stuff, utter lack of discipline. But you know, people learn how to give speeches, not Donald. But I think the first political speech I ever saw was because I should mention this because my dad, you know, he listens to the show. I'm sure he remembers this. He took me to see and conquered Senator Paul Simon, not Simon from Simon and Garf. But the young uns won't know, but those who are old enough to remember, Yes, Paul Simon from Illinois used to wear a bow tie. And maybe that's why Tucker Carlson stopped wearing about tie.

He realized that a liberal had worn one before him and it upset him. But yes, Senator Paul Simon. I forget where he spoke in Conquered but um, but yeah, Dad took me to see to see that, and I don't remember much about the speech. I remember him criticized in the Reagan administration, obviously, but I also seem to remember. I think it probably was about twenty minutes. It wasn't it wasn't They go about twenty minutes? Yeah, yeah, Congressman, about fifteen. It's funny. It's like clockwork, bow tie and big ear lobes, Paul.

There's only so much you can have. My first though, was September thirtieth, nineteen sixty four, Lyndon Baines Johnson, right at the corner of Merrimac Street. Now, no kidding, Yeah, I've seen Reagan Carter. It's New Hampshire, the New Hampshire Primary. But he talked a good forty minutes or so. And the kids really liked him because basically what he's talking about. You know, they keep saying anti vex, anti vex. What he's talking about as the vaccines industry and the pharmaceutical industry have captured the regulator.

But that's true. He was he is a great environmental lawyer. That's where he made his reputation pollution and h And he was here because he's challenging Biden. He's gonna be he's gonna be on the ballot, right, the Democratic ballot in the primary. Right, he came to say, to defend the New Hampshire primary. Oh right, yes, yes, well that makes me like him. And then he said somebody asked me you're gonna run for pres And he said, I'm thinking of it. Oh see, I didn't realize that. I was okay, I thought he had already announced.

I'm getting announced. I'll get he announced a little while ago. And he's at twenty percent with a media black blackout. When there's a poll that shows him at twenty percent yes for the nomination? Yes? Really? Yeah? Do you remember what poll? No? I don't. Interesting. It was brought up today when I was being told that my videos were probably being censored, and they were because the word was, uh, this is somebody from the media. But Stephen Philbert, by the way, in the chat says, Bernie Sanders speaks for at least forty minutes.

Yeah, Bernie is notoriously verbos and he's a bored too. I hate to say it. I don't know. Yeah, he is a bull. He's got a passion about I think I know you don't. It's not that I followed him since nineteen seventy four when he ran for a senator back then. Yeah, I've always liked his politics. I'm just saying I'm not saying, hey, he's a frigging bull. Well, I've just I've heard you say he's not a he's not a warm person, like if you meet him in person, not a warm person. He's he's like the opposite of Chris Sinunu.

Yeah, and uh, what shows you what people vote for and how crazy it is because Chris sin Unu. I'm not gonna go after him again, But he's a boob and that Bernie's anything but. But he's a boring speaker. And if he had gotten anywhere near the presidency, if he had won the electoral college. He would never have been made president because he would have seen something like what happened in twenty twenty and everybody would have been gone along with it. Because that's why we have an electoral college, to stop crazies from the left from being elected, not from the right.

Necessary. Is that how it works. But there's been all sorts of trouble with the electoral college since history. But getting back to RFK, you know, he was talking about how the vaccind vaccines industry have captured the h the regulator, and it's true. And the Washington Post, which is one of these pral vaccination and everything and is censorius itself to people that are considered anti vaxers, had a couple months ago, six probably eight to ten weeks ago a x you know, investigative journalism about how the pharmaceutical industry all but controls the CDC.

I think though, for people who are you know, how shocking, how it's not anything we haven't known. I think though, in terms of you know, quote unquote anti vaxers part of the problem, you know, And I get very you know, I've had you know, obviously, doing a show like this, I have to make editorial decisions, and I've had to say no to guests who wanted to come on and be all anti vaxx and whatnot, and uh, you know, like, I don't mind if someone necessarily expresses it. In fact, I have a guest calling in or skyping in tomorrow who might say something like that.

But I've had people come on who want to make that the main thing they talk about, and it's like, no, it's a matter of public health. So I have to make certain decisions about, you know, what I'm comfortable with. But part of the part of the problem too is it's one thing to you know, talk about the industry and so forth, like you are or rfks or whatever. But but you have, as as you do with most issues, right, You've got you've got the fringe on that subject. That kind of ruins it for everybody and makes it impossible to or makes it difficult to really engage in a in a real dialogue when you've got certain people.

So, for example, you see them, I'm sure on social media. I see them all the time. You've got them, the anti vaxxers who just are so it's like they're so desperate to be proven right that any little thing they'll glom onto to say, see, see we were right. Like remember when DeMar Hamlin, the football player I forget what team he plays for, went down, and all of a sudden, every anti vaxer on social media is going, look, see see what happened to DeMar Hamlin. He's he was vaccinated and that's why that happened.

See that proves we were right. And it's like, uh uh no, I think he went down because he took blunt forest trauma in the chest right where his heart happens to be. But that's crap, And it's always been in the news. What's up crap lies? Well, of course, yeah, that's always been you know. But I'm just saying because of that, and I think social media has exacerbated it because I think, uh, you know, fake news as a quote unquote, travels fast, faster than it ever has and and it's um, social media is a great recruiting mechanism.

And if you want to bring people into bad ideas or what are bad ideas well, bad ideas like saying that because a football player falls down on the field, that that proves that vaccines kill people, that's just crap. Well I know, but but if you go on social media, that's what you see with these people would take that seriously other people who also want to be anti vacts. It doesn't matter that it's not logical, it's just it's what they want to believe. I've been saying for years. I don't know is there any even such thing as collective not collective objective truth and facts anymore?

When people just walk around believe in whatever they want to believe. When when was there ever objective facts and truth? When was the media something that was pure as the driven snow Colonel McCormick who owned what was it the famous newspaper for Chicago. It was either the Tribune or the Daily News that that has the thing where Truman is holding. Oh, the defeat. He hated He was a right winger. Most of the press was against FDR, which is why he took to the radio. He hated him so much. He had the plans, the actual plans of the War Department, which is what it was called, that ready to be He's going to print them like December eighth or ninth.

Who's prepared to to to show that FDR was a war mong or that was dragging us into war? So anything you say that's been going on that always it's happened before. Oh sure, I just think that social media has And I'm not against this is this is not an anti social media thing. I happen to like social media. Social media's crap. But you know, no, I think it's I think it's a good I think social media is wonderful in many ways. But but like any good thing, it can be used for nefarious purposes, of course, But I think, uh, I think social media has um You know, you look at what, like does January six if there were no social media, woul January sixth have happened?

Why? Why wouldn't have eighteen? I'm not saying in March fourth, eighteen oh one, the Pennsylvania State Militia was ringing the capitol and because John Adams was planning which many people believed in some historians we'll talk about to make the first cousin of Thomas Jefferson, the President of the United States, to the Electoral College. That NaN's name was John Marshall. He began, then he didn't get him through, so he made him the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting I mean I'm not.

I'm not, but i'm not. Just to be clear, though, I'm not saying January six would not have happened. I'm just saying I'm not convinced that it would have for the UCB radio or if it had, or if it had started, would it have ended when it did, because the only reason it ended when it did was because Trump put out a video on social media say hey, everybody, I love you, You're all great patriots and I can't wait to pardon you when I'm resident again. Okay, that last part I made up, but that's implicit.

But you need to go home now. And then everybody went home because Daddy made a video telling them too. Well, maybe January six would have gone on for maybe it would have happened without social media, but it probably would have gone on. Who knows. I'm just saying I do believe the social media has exacerbated everything. Oh, I think that's true, because it's an insidious medium. But I just want to talk about the mainstream press right now. When Robert F. Kennedy Junior announced that he was running for president, there was an article written by the Associate Press.

There was just anti vex or anti vex or anti vex, he's a law or his family doesn't like him, they've denounced him. Blah blah Blah'm surprised they didn't bring up his arrest for buying heroin when he's twenty years old. Complete, it's all anti vex or anti vex nothing, nothing at all but any issues or anything. And every newspaper England, Australia, Canada ran that one AP article. Newspapers like Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe that have actual that still have journalists, they didn't have it.

They didn't get somebody to write their own article. They wrote this AP hit, this associate press hit hit piece, which the AP is a you know, you pay your subscription. Yeah, that's part of the function of the AP, right, Yeah, but nobody this is somebody the son of Robert Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, for Christ's sakes, the nephew of John F. Kennedy. Yeah, you just don't use it. You just don't use an AP article The Guardian right in the guard Everybody's it's like, what you want to talk about the press and everything?

Yeah, where is the press? So what do you think is behind that wanting to tear him down because it seems like they've been doing that for a long time, like the the narrative that is presented in the ap article that you were just talking about. I've I've been seeing and hearing that for at least a decade. Is there is there a reason? Do you think? Well? He pointed out something very interesting. I used to sit with old Bill cush And, who used to be the head of everything here. Used to sit with him every day we watch He watched the news incessantly, start driving me creamy.

Yeah, and you know, every and I used to watch it with my father, who was an old man too, you know, seeing at all? You know, yeah, never Fox, Neither one would never watch Fox. Ye seeing And I don't think MSNBC. I don't even think it was there. My father died in two thousand and six, but might have been a run. Oh no, all these ads, drug ads, drug adds, drug ads. My father at first would joke he would do it cosses and death right right. He just stopped because it was incessant. Yeah, and you wonder why are they have Oh if you've got prober rocker crack a MICUs, which you know is like your skull along game eates and you turn into something that looks like an octopus.

Keell, you're a physician about Parlevija and you're thinking how many people have this and why, and then you start realizing they're buying political influence. So one of the things that Bobby Kennedy Junior told the kids and told us all was that he used to appear on Fox News as their Democrat. Ah, yes, that's right, he doesn't anymore, and he asked Roger Ailes before he was unceremoniously ashcan from being an fa n ass. You can think you can put the other f whatever you want, but you know, a sexist pig, he said Bobby.

Of the seventy four advertising slots, I have sixty of them are controlled by the pharmaceutical industry. So your persona on Grada and you know that's true. Interesting they control the press as I've a part of that though with Fox, I mean the and and by the way, I'm not thought Fox. You see on both MSM No, I understand, No, no, I understand, But I'm just saying though the demographics. So for example, you were talking about old men, you know, Bill Cash and your dad. I don't. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. Well, no, I know, but there's a larger point here. Now. I don't know this about CNN and MSNBC for sure, but I do know that Fox and some people get mad when I say this, But it's just it's the truth. It's it's the it's seventy year old white males. That's that's the core audience. And according to Tucker Carlson, apparently post menopozzle women. But that's another thing. But I'm just saying though, So it kind of it does makes I understand what you're saying. But but but but but it does make sense though that if it's older people who watch cable news, because you gotta figure, younger people get their news online.

So cable news in in in general is going to keep is going to continue to skew older and older. Older people who are reluctant to cut the cord and get their get their news on CNN too. No, I don't know, I get that, I get that. I'm just saying cable news in general is going to continue to skew older and older. I've got about five minutes for I have to get up and stop psychics from going through the impermitable Fourth War. But

that's a little inside. But that's all right, I explained. Yeah, A Pulitzer Prize many times, A Pulitzer Prize winner Richard Rhodes who wrote The Dark Sun, which everybody should read. Everybody should be reading about nuclear warfare. Now where Ukraine and say, oh sure, let's go Nomember. The point a Richard Rhodes wrote a book that in the meat industry in the United States had the same conditions with mad cow diseases in Britain. This is a Pulitzer Prize winner wrote the book. That book got no reviews or anything.

And but Oprah Winfrey alpraintfree, the most powerful media presence of her time. What Richard Rhodes on and his book got sued in Texas under a agricultural Bible law and spent two million dollars defending herself. Remember that. And the point is the food industry is a major advertiser. So there's stuff you'll never hear the you know, and people say, well, it's not government censorship. Big business is government. Jesus of course, mahogany you know what, Oh please, if you leave mahogany out of it.

That's my favorite wood. How dare you? Yes? That was an old phrase I heard many times as a young guy when they couldn't they weren't. They're trying to avoid that last sea wordsary Jos. Everything. As long as you didn't say christ, I guess it was all ka good this country. This isn't the America. Yeah, it's it's you know, I'd like to say, this isn't the America. I knew. It's worse than the crappy America I grew up in the seventies. It's just utterly corrupt. It's worse. And you know, just I took an oath to defend the Constitution.

I'm not I'm not a patreat or anything. And I'm as cynical as hell as anybody can see now that I've never picked up on that as long as I've known you. It's beyond belief. Are you you're you're did you say you're your cynical? Is that what you said? That you're correct? Beyond belief. It's beyond belief. What what's going on? What is so fascinating? How quickly I would say when you talk about social media, but it's the technology itself and the way it affects the human brain. And they're wrong on networks is how quickly people can be programmed.

Absolutely, I believe it's true that anybody under the age of how old are you, I don't remember, let's put it at forty eight. Someone someone told me that I appear to be perpetually thirty five, and I said, we'll go with that. Well, I would think it would be. Well, I'm forty five, I have I have really good skin. I have my dad's skin, and I use oil of la. I'd say anybody people into the age of forty five just automats sold this automat odds, they sell program If you watch that stuff and you use this crap, you are just a marionette.

Jay fed just asked in the chairman by the way, to John get a haircut, But no, you are John's ball. You shaved your beard, No, I don't not wearing a hat. Well, there is that, but you also shaved your beard, so that might be the lack of hair might be what's throwing him off because you used to have that beard. Yeah, so I started being a public sex spot. Yeah, the beard did get rave reviews. You were you were, I dare say, a golden fox with that beard. Oh boy, Well, in the chat room they were all, uh, they were all loving the beard.

Folks. It's all my it's just an illusion. This is just a very this world that you look live in. It's just a very powerful illusion. But it's all just that. It's oh wow. I wish we were on the Uncut show because then I could really expressed myself very directly. But oh boy, Well, I believe that there will be a nuclear exchange with Row within my lifetime, which I would say with the next year, a couple too, so you only expect to live another year as well when there's a nuclear exchange. As they used to say in Greece, every generation has to experience a war and actually know what it is and to deal with it.

And since this country lives in such a fantasy world and it's forgotten about the horrors of nuclear war and Hiroshima, Hiroshima, it's gonna happen again. Well I don't I don't agree, But you don't agree, because otherwise you'd be psychologically beressed. Well, I also don't agree. I just said there's many reasons I don't agree, but we are we're closer than ever in history. We've got a crazed, rigging president because Barry Goldwater's uh philosophy. The country's collapsing into a malaise worse than that I've seen since the seventies and early eighties.

But you know, they've never They've got all the narcotics right, the psychic narcotics to keep you bring on the AI folks. The gambit of emotions. I feel when in your presence you make me laugh. Anybody that's not and then you leave me depressed. Anybody that's not against nuclear war right now is a betting it. What would be excellent is if you can flip that around, like in the future, maybe you come in really really really depressing and then leave on a high note and instead of coming in and making me laugh and having a good time, and then how your German band this phrase, ah tom Krieg nine.

I saw that in a poster in Germany. I will not repeat such things without knowing exactly what the nine Adam Creek Creeks War nine. No. I was there when they brought the missiles in. Oh they were the Red Army faction was going after me and my people and intelligence and all the Persian missile people. Yes, we were hunted. Isn't that exciting? Well that sounds terrifying actually, By do you want to go? Stop psychic? Now? Are you coming back? Are you leaving? Leaving? I'm probably leaving because time will be up.

Do you want to plug anything before you go? You want to plug your show? By? Uh? By unial of radios. They were very good times, all right, very very good. All right, but yes, yes, I understand. All right, John Hopwood leaves us, and uh, what we're gonna do is uh. By the way, I flatly disagree with Sean's prognostication just so everyone knows, um, but uh and his pessimism about the country and his general I mean, I'm cynical, but wow,

what a ray of sunshine. He makes me laugh a lot and have a good time with him. But we just need to do we need to get the depressing stuff out of the way at the top of the segment so he can leave on a good note instead of leaving telling us we're all about to die anyway. All right, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna show some love to our amazing sponsors. We'll take a break sow some love to our sponsors, and then we're gonna play a great song Factory of Art. They're gonna be joining us via Skype, all the way from Germany.

So really looking forward to talking with these guys. We're gonna play a song. Now, this is not one of the ones they sent me to play, but I found this one and I love it. It's called Streets of Violence. This is my favorite song of theirs. So we'll give that a listen, and then by the time that's done, we should have them on with us via Skype. So we'll take a quick break. Plenty more to come. We got our sponsors and then we've got We've got Factory of Art coming up in the second hour, hour number two, New Marrow Dose.

I will see you or talk to you in a few minutes. Factory of Art. Is that you? Oh, there we go. We got youa welcome to the show. Thank you. Mach's try to do some technical difficulties, yes, yes, no worries. Who do we have on the line with us. I'm here in a knee of Leipzig, East Germany. I'm back from a rehearsal with the band. We have to prepare some gigs. Yes, yes, in the next weeks. Yeah, okay, is it two of you on the line with us? I know there's some several gigs. We have some projects, not only as a Factory of Art.

We have a tribute band project, and we have some gigs to earn some money for the new album. Oh, very cool, very cool. We play play our lovely songs from Macy, DC, Hamstein, Van Halen and so on. Oh I gotcha, I gotcha. Well, I love the the Factory of Art project. Earlier I played Streets of Violence, which is streets of Violence. We today in our life shows, we play a Streets of Violence. I just listened as I came came in. No tears was a second song? Maybe we played that? Yeah? Um, and we played Uh what else?

Did we play? The the other two that you sent Story of Pain, which I really like and Until the End of Time? Uh? Yeah, every everything, It's all epic. I I love your sound A big power metal fan, but Streets of Violence my personal favorite. Um. But you guys have been around for what thirty years? You've You've been a band a long time? Correct? We are some elder guys,

but we don't feel old. Maybe I can say that. Yeah. Yeah. Factory of Art was founded in ninety in ninety one. Uh. It's it's a band with a thirty years history. And the band was dead between two thousand three and seven. Uh. And we started it again in two thousand and seven. Uh and we are so so so so it works here. It was retro. It was yeah, living in the past and in the last in the last three years, we we we made some some some new midteri of some new songs we were wrote and now we are looking forward to publish, publish our third album excellent.

Do you know when that's coming out? Um? We are. We have recorded, we had ended the recording of eleven songs. Okay, um, now we have to it's it's it's not so funny. We have to edit the recordings and then we have we have made a great deal because we have enough money. Maybe maybe because our tribute band works so good and we we we have a deal with Jacob Hanson from Denmark. I hope you know him. He produces several excellent acts like ll beat Um, what the arch Enemy and so on. Okay, we hope that is the right decision for the new album too.

We have the best sound for this and that's why we think at the end of the year we will release the third album. Excellent. Working title is back to Light. Okay, okay, very good? UM? Why that why that title? Is there a special meaning behind it? Does it have anything to do with coming out of the pandemic or anything like that. I'm curious about the titling like that because you know, we have a more than thirty years history and now I think the album you like, um tempta album is well was released in two thousand and two.

Maybe it's more than twenty years ago. Yeah, and if we now have a new album, I think the title back to Light is described exact the situation. Yes, yes, and the current lineup has members from all eras of the band. Is that correct? Yeah? That is correct. Um. I'm I'm the guitarist of the of the band, but there were several very very good guitar player in this band and in the history. UM, we have two founding members now on the lineup is Gunta on keyboards and vocals and our bass player on it. Um.

Did both guys played on the first album Grasp until the end of Time? You know? This is this is this is these songs, um. And then we have Petrie on a new lead singer and on the our drama. They were on the Mark two if you can play that for the Tempta album. And I wrote one song for the first album and I gave my equipment for the second album for the guitarists of the band. Now we are playing together. If I if to make a long story short, we have the singer of the first album, Gunda, and the singer of the second album Petrie now on the band.

And that's a special thing. I think. Sure you have to imagine Bon Scott and Brian Johnson one band, or David Carverdale and Ian gil Um. Now we have Conturned Patriot. Okay, that would be that would be something Bond Scott and Brian Johnson together, that would be. That would be amazing. No, that's that's very cool. And I did see um, I did. I did watch a live clip a YouTube video with uh with the two singers. And no, that's that's very cool. Um. How many how many songs do you have? Do you have a lot of music for for for the new Factory album?

Yes? Well, well in in total you have you have the two total. Yeah, Oh, it's it's hard work for four old man. I think we we play between two hours and two and a half hours. Um, we play I think six or seven songs of the Grass album, of the fourth first album, we play six or seven songs of the Tempta album. I don't know if now the EP between it from nineteen ninety seven Point of No Return. We have two songs of that and some new matriterial. It's it's a lot of stuff. And our tribute project we have three hours of music.

I think, oh okay, we can we can play the whole evening everyone. Do you do many shows as Factory of art? The the original project this this starts now again? If you if you're so long time are a little bit undercover. It's not so easy here in Germany. Too to too yeah, make make the right contracts for for those contracts. We play twenty twenty five gigs a year as with our tribute project, and seven to ten gigs a year as Factory of Art. We hope if the new album is published or will be published, we we we will play more often as factory of art.

Okay um previously as as Factory of Art. Have you played outside of Europe or have you have you remained now that would be that we would be so nice. Yeah, I think we have We have to start in Germany. Um. We come from Saxony. Saxony is not the center of progressive metal in Germany. We have we have a great scene of techno and and and electronic music here in Saxony. Um, but heart rug and metal or not really. Um, we have to we have to try it in Germany. Um. And we hope it will work in Europe. But overseas, I don't know exactly.

It's a great we dream, but I know how many how much logistical things have to have to be arranged to to make that. I don't know exactly. But in these times, and these these new times, everyone who is interested in factory of art may have a look in to a website or Facebook to see geeks life. I'm afraid that we a little we are a little bit too to small band as well band to come to the States or wherever overseas. It is certainly a challenge. It's traveling is more expensive than ever I think, globally, not just here, So it is it is certainly a challenge.

I think so. Yeah. I talked with some musicians from the United States. They always say we are very very successful. We are well known in Texas, right, Maybe it's okay you come you are in the New England States. I think yes, yeah, yes, is it correct? Um? I think if you are a rock band in Maine or New Hampshire, it's okay. If you're well known in New Hampshire or or Maine. Is is it correct? I think so yeah, although it's better to be obviously better to be well known. Uh you know, you know, on a larger scale, New Hampshire is very small, very small state.

Yeah, and we have to try it. We we have some very very uh yeah, well known guest singers on the new album two tracks. We have some classical singers. Amar Chord is a world known and and very successful UM ensemble of classical music. And I know them because I make my money with classical music. Okay, yeah, yeah, I've been in the States in Asia as a professional director of one of our choirs, one of the best choirs in Germany. Um. And I know we tryed to try it in several ways. I think that we have brilliant and excellent new material.

Um our lead single Patriot has the ideas for lyrics for for for ye, conceptional things for the album and Gunda, our singer and keyboarder, is a very good recording engineer for us. He's he's very zaman strang. I don't know exactly, he is a hard worker for us. I hope that the album will will be as good as we can today if he, if Jacob Hanson will mix and master it, we think the sound will be very very good and so we hope no, this is it will be a new chance for us. Yes, yes, I I love what you've put out so far.

I became a fast fan and really okay thank you. Yeah, yeah, really looking forward to hearing the new material. So when that's out and ready, we'll we'll have to have you back for sure. Um are you playing a lot of shows with the cover band? Are you doing a lot of shows with that? Yeah, it's it's more easy to to to get gigs with this cover tribute project ye to be to be honest, Um, we play,

yes, yes, a lot of shows. Means during the pandemic times we had we had a lucky band, we had several great productions. Um,

now we have three four gigs gigs a month as a with with a cover project. Yeah, okay, okay, very good. It's the same thing here of course, in the United States. It's a lot of bands. They are original, they have original music, but they also do UH covers, either as a separate project or or even just the same under the same name, So that's understandable. UM well, I'm very glad that you were able to to that we were able to connect on Skype and you were able to join us today. I really like what you guys are doing and um anything you want to make sure that that our listeners know as far as where to find you online, how to keep up with everything that you're doing, how to get your music and all of that.

Yeah, we uh, we know. We are very busy because we want to to to um finish the easy works for the new album. Yes, and to be honest, the name Jacob Hanson here in Europe means a lot. We are very glad to work together with him, but it's great challenge for us too. Um. Then we will I think we will publish some song, some new stuff online on our Facebook, on Instagram and on our website to announce the new album. The plan is to release the third album end of twenty three, and I think from September October, it's possible that we publish new new music.

Excellent, excellent, all right. I think Marco on the our manager. I think he was the first of us who get in touch with you, and he will he will publish and inform give the informations for for for the world online about our progress in work. Excellent, excellent. That sounds wonderful. All right, my friend, Well, thank you, thank you so much for skyping in. I'm going to uh, I'll let you go in a moment, and I'm going to close out the segment with Temple of Doom the instrumental, yes, yes, yeah, plus it well it says, and it's a great name.

But uh yeah, a little bit of a different flavor with the instrumental, but just such a cool song and uh yeah, and and oh god, have to play it. We love to play it live. It's it's it's some I don't know exactly. It's not modern stuff, but it's uh like it like an evergreen. I don't know how I say that. We play the song, um and the guys even younger look at the stage in Wow, these guys look at this. Yeah, that's great. Great, great stuff. So we're gonna we're gonna play that, but I will let you go. Thank you again so much for joining us today.

I'm glad it worked out. Sometimes, uh, technology transcontinentally a certain he does present challenges, but I'm glad. We I'm glad we got it to work. And it's been wonderful talking to you. And thank you so much. Absolutely absolutely, thank you so much. All right, take care for you, bye bye bye. All right, that was wonderful. The guys from Factory of Art very cool, and we're gonna play this track. This is Temple of Doom from the album The Tempter or from Factory of Art, and then we'll be back after that with the balance of our show.

But here it is. Check this out. Wow, I'll get the blood pumping. You know what's funny is I don't even usually like instrumentals, but there are exceptions, and that's one of them that's fun to listen to. That is Factory of Art. That is Temple of Doom. Thank you so much. It was wonderful to speak with those those gentlemen, well, mostly to one gentleman, but I know there was at least one other person there. But that was that was great. I really like them a lot there from Germany. If you're just joining us and you missed it, of course it'll be the archive later.

We do archive all the shows at WMNH Radio dot organ at my website Matt Connerton dot com. And um, we had a little bit of a there was a slight delay there as I As I said, you know, sometimes especially transcontinentally because they are in Germany. Uh, you know, technology isn't always quite what we wanted to be, although it is pretty remarkable that you can talk to somebody via Skype all the way in Germany. And we got it done. We made it work. So but that was that was great. We do have a little bit of show left today if you'd like to join us.

By the way, John Hopwood has left the building, but uh oh, we do have a call on the studio line. Hi welcome, well, Hi, welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed. Does us it's your earth to while gets John Hopwood? How are you? It seems like I just saw you recently. Can you hear me? Yes? Can you hear me? Well? I hit a pawn hoole the other day and not my car, my my Chevy and Pala sounds like the Second World War. Lead I say more, that can't be good. Geezzo these bottles, I tell you, hey, I just wanted to say a very interesting thing about Leipzig, which was East Germany when I was in the army buying on the Soviet forces in East Germany.

Yes, where the band is from. Yes, I'm not violating any of my old Yes, we wouldn't want that. Maybe the constitution when I report that John Lennon's birthday October ninth used to be a day where people behind the Iron Curtain and all of the phrase that meant the countries in Eastern Europe and the eastern part of Germany that were occupied by the Soviet Union. On John Lennon's birthday people would gather out of love for Atlantin and Beatles and of course this post Beatles music, and eventually it became something of a political movement, because as we see nowadays in our own country and everything's political, right, yes it does seem so, but very much so in those own style and his countries.

But what most people we don't know is that on October ninth, nineteen eighty nine and Leipzig, there was like a seventy five to one hundred thousand people gathered at the annual you know, remembering John Lennon's birthday, and it turned into a protest and the East German government did nothing, and that led to the fall of East Germany, the Berlin Wall coming down. Yes, so when your guy was saying these thirty years nineteen ninety one, m hm, he probably if you ever have him on again, probably remembers that.

And yeah, true, look about the power of music, of popular music, yes, and of John Lennon, and how that challenge that fascist dictatorship these Germany was really grotesque government, as was the Soviet Union. And I thought that would be I would bring that up before my car explodes into a huge ball of playing so I become a legend in the Queen City. Well, well, h well, we appreciate, we appreciate the information, but I do hope that your car does not explode. That would be very dangerous. Okay, take care that all right, John, Thanks for the calling, Thanks for coming in today.

I appreciate it, all right, bye bye. Yes, I hope, well, I hope John is a safe exploding cars, I think if I'm not mistaken. Ralph Nader of course, the former multi time presidential candidate and consumer advocate. I think he's the one who advocated for cars that don't explode, if I'm not mistaken, because prior to Ralph Nader's activism, wasn't it cars would just randomly explode and then and he said that's not right, and he really put some pressure on the auto industry to make non exploding cars.

So we can thank Ralph Nader for that. Six ZO three two five six seven is a studio line. If you'd like to get in with a call six zo three two five six z seven.

I can text him after the show and ask him if he has some equipment that he can put into the microphone. But I will just say, I mean we we love her voice very much. In fact, have you ever heard her saying she has a beautiful singing voice, and she heard about her sing ye voice. It's really like like she's in him in helium. Now everybody's saying that, not now you.

I'm just calling that. I keep listening to it. I don't care. Yes, I listened to it to Peter in the morning and you in the afternoon. Thank you. I really don't care. But they pushed me to call you. Yeah, maybe you can talk to Peter because I think we we we called them before, and he didn't do nothing right right. He might be we didn't. We didn't tell him about the unit, about the part to put in the microphone. We didn't tell him about that. We just right. But you know, for all we know, for all we know, caller, he could be shopping online right now looking for that very unit to put into the microphone.

But I do have a question for you. Now. You keep saying everyone is saying this, and they pushed you to call So is there like a group of people, a contingent of people that elected you to be the one to call. I know this is called not me, not me. I'm sorry you're gonna think I mean I'm bad. Don't okay, forget it. If you if there too much problem, just don't listen to them. Well it's too much a problem. But mentioned it to Peter. See what happened. I'm going to listen. I make you this promise. As soon as the show is done today, I'm going to call Peter and I'm going to say, Peter, just so you know, we need if you can find a unit to put into the microphone, that would be fantastic.

When we called them last time he made he made fun of us that I don't know. You know, he's just trying to make fun of us, but he didn't mean it bad. But right, I can't Are you sure that? Are you sure he was making fun of you? You know, I mean Peter, And sometimes people read Peter the wrong way. He might have just been, you know, is just being jovial, and you took it as him making fun I don't know, you know, I don't know. I feel like we're making a dance mix of the show, but like a remix. But but just for the record, I love Katie's voice.

Everyone here loves Katie's voice. We love Katie. She's a wonderful person. And um getting me yes, no, I'm oh good. Good. Now let me ask you this, is it possible that there is an electronic unit that you can put into your ear that will make her voice sound different to you in case the A unit into the microphone thing doesn't work out. That's a that's what they heard. So I don't know. I've never heard of it, but that's what they told me to tell you. Yes, yes, all right, I have to go. I have to go.

I'm sorry. Thank you for your time, Matt. You're very good. I'm enjoying your show too, and thank you. Yes, thank you. Good luck anyway, and thank you. I have to go, all right. We appreciate the call. Bye bye, bye bye. All right. Well that was that was interesting. I must tell you. I uh oh, we have another call already. We'll see. Uh, we'll see who's on the line here. Uh hi, welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Who is this you? Dank? Oh? Don't you know who that was? No? Who was that that was? Milia?

Oh my goodness, Milannia. Now do you think that her husband knows? That she's calling my show. She was right here Thursday. Oh that's true. Oh she was with him Thursday. I didn't know if they still travel together. I have a suspicion that they have a what would you call it, a marriage of convenience. It's just a theory. I can't prove it. She's got hot pants for you again, she's got hot pants for me. Wow, that's for the other show, John, geez, I just got a thing from Rown the Santis, for God's sake.

And I'm a registered Democrat and to the new Hampshire primaries underway. Baby, so she's gonna be loving you up. You remember twenty nineteen Milan, Yeah, you should call you all the time. I do remember that. What a great bit that was. Yes, I do remember that, John, I do right, you're a feeling. I don't like to say it's your only claim the same, but you know you broke the Mike pants and your fourth two story and it was all then, there was the band and all out. That's right, that's right. Yeah, time for you to step up to the plate, do your duty for your country.

Oh my, all right? What is goodbye e Slovenia? I had rushing at Susadania. Okay, very good, all right, thank you, bye bye all those our friend John Hopwood. Now, the good thing about hearing from John is we know that so far he has not exploded, which is a great thing. And if you're just joining us, you might be thinking I would have thought John exploded by now, But if you're just joining us, you don't know. Earlier, John to express a concern that his car might explode at any moment, apparently at a pothole, and he's under the impression that after you hit a pothole, your car may explode.

But so far, so good. Well, what a what an interesting what an interesting show we are having if you'd like to get in on this six three two five six seven six three two five six seven. But in all seriousness, in all sincerity, we love Katie so and I you know, some people people have picked on her voice, but no, we we love Katie. I think she has a wonderful voice. I think she sounds great and I will say too. And I think I told her this one time too off air. I think I had said this to her. It might have been the first time that I met her when she had come.

You know, she's been on Retrospectrum Radio with us a couple of times. And I think it's cool to have a voice that's a little bit unique in radio anyway, because otherwise, you know, what you don't want is to just sound like everybody else. And I don't know if anyone who sounds quite like her, and I think that's a good thing. And I think her voice is very pleasant and very nicely. She does have a beautiful singing voice. She sang for us on Retrospectrum Radio and it was really really good at well more than one song, but oh there's a specific song.

I'm trying to remember what it was. Is she did anyway, anyway, So we love Katie just for the record, so and she has a good sense of humor. So I'm sure she's not I don't not to speak for her, but I'm sure she's not upset by I don't know who that was who called, but John Hopwood seems to think it was Milania. Six three two five six seven is the number if you'd like to get in six O three two five six zero seven. I do want to say hello everybody in the Facebook Life chap, because we haven't done that and it's been a very busy chat room today, and while I scroll up, I do want to mention too we have a guest joining us tomorrow afternoon via phone or Skype in the second hour.

A Republican politician from the state of New York is going to be joining us. Apparently he's a walk away from the Democratic Party, so curious, curious who speak with him? Seems like an interesting Guy's name's Kevin Hammer. But let's see. In the chat room today, I did mention Crystal, our friend from Illinois in there also Isaac Banks J Fett, of course, from the great state of Vermont. Crystal says in the chat room, this is regarding our conversation earlier with John Hopwood about YouTube. Crystal says, people have been using Patreon to avoid YouTube, Facebook and Twitter dings.

That's true, Isaac Banks says, good afternoon. Hashtag Mike Banks, what's up, bro? I hope you are okay, man. I know you were down, man of yourself. Matt Connerton, I was giving a shout out to my oldest brother Mike Banks from Greensboro, North Carolina. He was going somewhere because my mom and Mike were arguing and yell as well, so my oldest brother, Mike, been packing his clothes since he was mad at my mom. So please do cheer up my brother, Mike Banks, and he was going lose his vehicle, of his car.

Give the keys to my mom. She bought the car for him. While that's not fair. Now, if your mother, I would just say this and listen. I don't know what goes on in Greensboro, North Carolina. I don't know how it works there, but I will just say this. If your mom gave him the car, gave him the car, then it's his car. And if you're listening, Mike Banks, I would just say this, don't give your mom back the keys to the car. That's your car now. If it's registered in her name, then you might have a problem.

But again, I don't know how it works there in Greensboro. Let's see. Isaac Banks also says, hello, Nicholas camer good afternoon. How are you doing. I was giving a shout out to hashtag Nicholas Kmir from Summerfield, North Carolina. My best friend hashtag Crystal Korea. That's a good question, Okay, all right, Crystal says, regarding what John was saying about YouTube and silencing people, Crystal said in the chat, I agree with John it's about silencing people, but he just tried to silence me as well, for the crime of speculating why Matt may have been dinged.

Yes, referring to my eve. Once again, if you're just joining us, I've once again run a foul of the YouTube. Miriam Bannis joins us in the Facebook live chat. Hello, Miriam Police from retro Spectrum Radio with Police joins us and says DJ Steve sat in with Jesus and the Twelve Apostles. Yes, I believe I say I saw him in that painting. Tom Blanchard says two drones hit the Kremlin today. Well, I don't think I think that might be a Vladimir Putin doing something pretextual, shall we say. There's a lot of speculation that it's all bs.

But we'll see. Tom, We'll see. Jenny says it's too bad they missed. Let's see Stephen Philbrook we mentioned is in the chat room. Isaac Banks says hashtag Matt Connerton. Sure, Abner the second was awesome yesterday and you had him on your show. Yes, if you missed yesterday's show, we had a great musical guest in the second hour, he came in and performed live for us. Abner the second was wonderful getting to meet him and see him live. Isaac also says hashtag Matt Connerton. Have you never listened to Scarlett and Black eighties songs you don't know from the movie eighties soundtrack Hiding Out starring John Cryer.

You got me, Isaac, I have not. Isaac Banks also says good afternoon, hashtag Eric Pilcher. Have you never seen the eighties movie Hiding Out sorrying John Cryer? Well, maybe that's maybe that will be the subject of one of Eric's classic film reviews coming up. Stephen says this is in response to John saying that Bernie Sanders is boring when given a speech. Stephen says, Bernie isn't boring. Maybe it's because his message hasn't changed for decades. That's true, let's see. Isaac Bank says hashtag Matt Connerton.

In nineteen nineties, I watched my favorite game show is Figure It Out on Nickelodeon and host was Summer Sanders. I did have a crush on her when I was a teenager at age sixteen. That's very specific. Now, Summer Sanders is married now now Summer Sanders married, I mean not married. Summer Sanders related to Bertie Sanders or did you have a crush on Bertie Sanders' wife? Was? Was she the host of the show. Rick Smith joins us in the Facebook live chat. Hello Rick, Isaac Banks says, Jeff, Pegary and me will be doing clues who's behind the mask of masked singer?

He will give me a call on my text now cell phone. Oh outstanding at seven pm to eight pm. Okay, let's see. Isaac Bank's asking John what's your favorite Frank Sinatra song? Well, unfortunately John is not here to answer that question. Scott Robinson joins us in the chat and says, if I may say so, that beard made John a sexy beast. Yeah, I guess it got two itchy for him. John Hopwood did shave off the beard. Jenny shared some links in the chat room, by the way for the band Factory of Art. Thank you, Jenny.

I recommend everyone check them out tomorrow. People five is in the Facebook live chat and says, good afternoon. Hashtag Matt We said hi, hashtag gen coffee. We say to you from us. We both want you to know we are from Greensboro, North Carolina. This might come as a huge surprise tomorrow people five, but I actually I was able to into it with my mind that you were, in fact from Greensboro, North Carolina. This is not a surprise to me. Hello to Greg Joseph and the chat room from Clemento's Pizza, one of our great sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three FM.

Clemento's Pizza Ria Da Dad. I don't know all the lyrics, but yes, we love Clementos. We are about out of time. We must, we must go, we must begin to wrap up. Uh.

This is the title track from their album The Tempter called That's Empter. And I think this will be a good way to close out today's show.

And that's going to do it for us for now. Thank you again, of course to the guys from Factory of Art, and thank you to John Hopwood for joining us today. And I will leave you with this and I will talk at you all a little bit later. By everybody,
