Matt Connarton Unleashed 5-3-23

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. You can go to

my website Matt Connerton dot com for all your live streaming options, social media

links, contact infolk show archives, etcetera, etcetera. 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

Pine in the Facebook live chat and we will say hello to everybody in there

in a moment. We've had a busy show, so we've neglected our Facebook

live chat, but I did see some interesting things in there. But the

best thing to do, of course, is to give us a call so

that we can enjoy your dulcet tones at six zero three two five six seven.

And someone has heated the call. We'll see who it is. Hi,

we like the whole thing. Everybody there. What's your name? Katy?

Is one lady named Katy? Yes, yes, and she's like, you

know, sometime the way, she thought, I wonder if they can put

some like apparatus in her um um microphone because she talks like she's in healing

and hele in helium or something. But he was saying that, I said,

they want me to call. I said, you know, I'll try.

I don't know Katie as a beautiful Do you believe that? Do you

do you hear? Did you hear anything about the unit? Like you put

you can put some units in there. You can put water in the microphone.

So it changed the voice. What would you put on? What would

you put on the microphone. I can't hear you. I cannot hear you

at all. Why I turned my radio down? Should I turn it up?

No? You should listen through your phone. Are you listening through your

phone? There's a delay, so if you turn the radio up, it

causes a terrible effect. Oh my god, yeah, it's crazy. Huh.

I can't Well did you did you hear me? Did you hear what

I'm saying? Right? Yes? What is it that you want to put

into the microphone? It's like some I heard. We heard that you can

put like a little unit parts electric electronic parts in the microphone. It will

change the voice of the person who's talking. Oh, yes, yes,

yeah, so you want to put so there's an electronic there's a piece of

electronic equipment to put into the microphone that will lower her voice, is what

you're saying? Yeah? Like changes It was because she sounds like everybody's saying,

man, not only me, everybody to call. She sounds like she's

helium or something. Well, I think she sounds lovely. We like her

voice very much. Or that maybe he'll do so something. Well, I

don't know. 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

musical guests today, Factory of Art, great band from Germany, some power

metal. Love it, absolutely love it. Uh. This is the title

track from their album The Tempter called That's Empter. And I think this will

WMA radio dot org and on my website Matt Connerton dot com. And that's

going to do it for us for now. Thank you again, of course
