So very exciting. So Friday is my favorite day of the week. It's an awful lot of PAULI in this station. Isn't there a diversity policy? There are two. There's police and Paul Stone. You're right, there's two on Friday. Yes, we are. We do seem to be polydominant, which actually sounds like it could be a real word. Polydominant. Yeah, it does, doesn't doesn't it. Yeah, that's some kink out of you know, well the Kinsey report even maybe or just or something mathematical or something mathematical could be that as well, poly morphus perverse.

I'm going to look up the word polydominant because I think it might be a real word, and uh, polydominant would that be be deep? Did they did at S and M, which we're that's for the other show. Yeah, so I would subject console just blow it off edge. It does not appear that uh oh yeah, polydominant community of beach and fur with no. Okay, I don't know what that's about, and I don't even want to know. Its sound sinful, but it does sound sinful. But h and one thing we are not here is a den of sin. Unfortunately, it's right.

We used to be, but that was years ago on the radio, I mean on the TV, while those were simpler times. But uh yeah, so we are live on this Friday afternoon. Will be sorry. Oh once again, the stuff is falling from heaven. Polydominant communities are plants like a meadows. Oh once again. We're talking about the search for life in the universe and whether a plant based alien is possible here, you know, on Earth visiting Earth? Yes, yes, you know. Well, increasingly the Satanic portal, it's taking hold of this place.

I'm concerned about the Satanic portal. I'm sorry, I didn't know that meadows were polymorphous perverse. Yes, polymurphus perverse phus polymorphus. But what did I say? You mispronounced the word I do. I do occasionally polymorphous perverse, polymorphous perverse. That is fun to say. Um, let's see if you'd like to join us down the program.

And of course you can interact endo Pine in the Facebook live chat and we'll say hello everyone in there in a moment. But the best thing to do so that we can hear and enjoy your Dulca tones is to give us a call at six ZO three two five six ZO seven on the chat room. We do have Melanie Liberty from the Great state of Vermachi says, hey, guys, what have a message for her? You do, Melanie? It is a hermit spread with the two of rods, which that sounds kind of like Matt.

Really, but I wouldn't. You'll have to turn into mac Covington uncut on the dark Web. I'd be frightened if all of my dreams came true. We'd all be in great trouble. Uh. Jenny, of course is in the chat room. As you know, I'd have been fired from my daily radio show dreams. She should talk about that dream. Uh. Jen involves Paul.

We will sing and dance. Hi hashtag gen coffee. We say to you from us, very exciting, very exciting. Six three two five six seven is the number six O three two five six seven. Do you want to tell us about the dream that you had? It was a very odd dream, you know, I do have odd dreams. Yes, I haven't been a death Sarah thing and avoiding the war in Ukraine, so oh, those nightmares are awful. But it was one of those, you know, chain dreams. And I was in the city scape I've always dreamed, I'm in these cities which are familiar there, like part Boston, part New York Parked, the Gotham City from the Christian Bale Batman movies.

Yeah, but you know, which was more modern than the ones with the Tim Burton Michael Keaton movies. And I'm just sitting in a restaurant and there's policy telling me that, uh, and he's not telling me I've been fired from the Daily radio show, but my services are no longer needed, but they will give me a Saturday radio show, and Peter White's gonna be coming to talk to me about it. I was so insansed, so I got up, walked out of the dream, and then it became something else. Yeah, it's the only part of the dream I remember because wow yeah, huh yeah.

So I guess Policy is eventually going to be your boss. Wow wow the new studio, right, Well, Peter White will be above him, yes, yes, but but if you're if you're getting fired and it's in a dream, it will be uh police's job to uh give the bad news. It was not you weren't my co host. I don't know who it was, Uh what it wasn't that's the slob crazy Joe, Right, it wasn't. I was going to mention people that week. Can't be Yeah, that's all right. It was just somebody, you know. But then I thought about it, and you had talked about a radio duel and one of the guys got fired, so it must have been.

But you've done that last week. Oh okay, So Paul Cormy is telling me you're very nice. So you've been fired from your five day a week. So it's like and now you can do it set. It's like, what do you mean? You know, it's like the emotion, What do you mean? I need my five days? I never had five days, right right, I've never had a radio shop. Oh that's funny. Yeah, um, well very nice. I have. I have some news, by the way, and I did post us on Facebook a little bit ago. The rabbit died. I can't catch me because the rabbit dun died?

Quick? What song is that from popular music? I was before nineteen ninety one though, Anyway, that sweet emotion Aerosmith. I have an announcement. So I received I didn't even tell anybody about this, Oscar. I received a that would be wonderful. I received a second strike on YouTube. Oh I can't outfload anymore from a different on a different channel, because I'll have more than one YouTube channel. You always want to have backups, so in case you wake up one day and YouTube just decided to remove everything, and I appealed the strike.

Now, this was same thing as the one from twenty seventeen, where I apparently time traveled back three years to spread false information about the twenty twenty election. This one was also same thing, spreading false or misleading information about the twenty twenty election, but this one was from twenty twenty one, so I was probably somewhere in there discussing the election deniers and all that. But I appealed it like I always do, and for the first time I won the appeal. I didn't win my couldn't believe it.

Oh, need to say up load uh my last show. But I do have a backed up. So you didn't win your most recent appeal because you had you had a couple appeals recently. I had one appeal. Maybe I did lose. Say you had multiple strikes, but I got a strike but over a copyright violation. Yeah, because if you like put mused there. Oh yeah, yeah, and you know, usually you want to get a version that's from like my nineteen twenties or go back. But they don't use too. It doesn't usually strike you for that anymore.

They just uh tell you that you're your videos demonety master. Yeah they used to. They used to strike you for that. Now they just say, yeah, you can't monetize this um. But yeah, sometimes you can get in trouble, like maybe I just misunderstood that one. I don't read the Uh, I guess they email you, but now you're you're temporarily unable to upload. Temporarily, I'm gonna take I'm gonna have to take to all the rfk's down because but they'll they'll just do it. Let's not get it. We've already had that discussion.

Yes is in America. Yes, by the way, policy is in the Facebook live chat and he is confirming I got fired. Uh no, because I was a dream. Oh that was a dream. I want my five day days the week's show back. Well, perhaps in a dream. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could just share dreams with Well, I could be very dangerous, but imagine if you could just share a dream with Paul. I'm gonna hold Peter White to that offer of a Saturday radio huh. But that was also that was a dream was it? Wouldn't it be great if he could join you in a dream.

You know, I'm a great tarot card reader, but here we have the TV and movie trivia CARDU. I'm gonna try to read that and see you can do that. You can just oh wow, we'll do a spread really, um and Matt, I mean Matt, you have to bread. Will there be selary sticks in the spread, and I think the words spread. I think about why I'm wearing the vest cover my pop belly. Huh. Okay, Matt, what is the name of Angela Lansbury character in Murder? She wrote? And I actually saw Angela Lansbury on the set of Murder, she wrote, when I had just joined the Army and my brother was like saying audios to you.

Were at Universal City and Los Angeles. I know this will Uh? Oh is it Jessica Fletcher? Oh? Yes, I can't believe I knew that. How does this relate to Tarot? I'm very puzzled. What was the first animated motion picture to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. I actually saw this with one of my niece who's not forty seven years old. Heavy metal? I have no idea Beauty and the Beast. Okay, we've got one more question. You've got an answer to ensure I get that Saturday show. Okay, are you ready for it?

It's one I do know that you know? Okay, Oh, good color of the pills Neo Tuck, which is the red pill. But we're not going to ask you that, Okay, Mac for John Hopwood, Saturday. I think I'm not I'm not sure if it was in the morning or the afternoon of the show at night. We're about to do classical music at night. I am an expert on that. Yes, for my Saturday night Slow, the classical music hour that runs from ten pm to four am. Yeah, you have to answer this question, right, I'll give you two to one.

Okay, what year does Marty McFly travel too? In Back to the Future Part two, Part two? I'll give you a clue. It was before you denied the twenty twenty election the first time that YouTube Part two. Jeez, I don't even know nineteen eighty seven. Wait what, I guess I'm not getting my show twenty fifteen drove the twenty fifteen Back to the Future Part two, which I've never seen. Oh, that's the one where where the guy has the book on sports tribute becomes a billionaire. Right. I always had that same dream because I had such a great memory, and I knew like Ted Williams batting average after he hit four or six and every World Series winner, and if I could just you know, use it parlay and I'd have been rich batting.

That's true. We have a call, Hi welcome to Matt Connerton. Unleash who's this twenty fifteen? Oh you're the winner, that's right. But you you know, unfortunately you don't have the karmic power to get me that Saturday night classical music radio show. Right. I'm just so I just crossed the room. Now. Did you say you had a dream that I fired you? Well, no, we were having lunch and you gave me the news that you didn't use the word fired, that my services were no longer required on the you know, Monday through Friday radio show where I was a co host, and that bought the studio thought that I uh, that I was being offered a Saturday radio show, you know, just you know one day, and that Peter White was going to come down to the restaurant and you know, confirm it.

But I got really mad, which I'm sure you've seen me get mad. So it was it was a nightmare. In other words, it was just because you know, I was I was so mad at you, Polly, because you're taking it away my Monday to Friday gig, the one that I don't even know. Yeah, So I was just telling, you know, when we get to the new studio, you'll probably be Matt's boss. But then again, Peter White will be your boss, and you will take people out to fire them or offer them opportunities. But the big guy will you come down afterwards, you know, after the tantrums that you have to handle.

Are you saying nice stormed out of that restaurant? Are you saying you think this will all come true? Or are you saying this will be in a future dream? Well, do you want to read the TV movie or trivia cards again to find out? No, not really, it's it's I don't have a tow too scary? It was, wasn't it? And it humbled you. You only got one question right now? What would be nice is is there a way that we can get the two of you to dream together and maybe you can resolve things in the dream. Maybe we could also do what's that synchronized swimming when they open up the public pool?

We could get the crew from the public TV station. Uh huh huh. Maybe we were faded, you know, the Olympics. Here we come, Polly. Maybe either that or scraping homeless people off the street after Jane Simmons is a limousine has flattened them, which you know, well, I don't have caught in any criticism of Gene Simmons for that. Well, I don't either. I mean, we really had on the homeless problem when he was visiting. M h m hmmm. Well, I mean, excuse me, hustless, right, what's going on, Paul John John, It's almost the end of the year.

You're getting ready for your guest appearence on my show for if you don't fire me first, I'm not gonna fire you, dude, that I would never fire you. I mean that must have been a nightmare for you, for me to fire you. I ran out of the restaurant, and then it was another part of the dream. The only one I could remember is you fire Well, you didn't fire me. You were very nice about it, and you did offer me that the fire you anyway. I'm not your manager. I don't know. You were in the Gotham City. In Gotham City, the Celtic place kind of it's like one of those dreamscape cities, you know, the Autham City of the Christian Bale movies.

You know where wait, I guess Bain was ready to come get us. I don't remember the Joker being around. Wow, just recap you had a dream that I was your boss in Gotham City and I took away your your money through Friday. Dude. Yeah, you were probably part of the Bain crew nowther they think of it? Or maybe you were in the pocket of the joke or I can't remember who was the first in the first movie that Liam Neeson was. I can't remember his name. That was actually, for me, the best of the three. Oh, he woke up with that wing.

Oh my, I don't know what happened in the rest of the dream, but you weren't in it. Oh, I'm just thank god I wasn't dreaming about the war. The war again. Yes, yes, well there you go. Now, Paul, I do have to ask you, do you ever have dreams about John Hopwood. I'm trying to remember. I don't. I don't think so. I don't think I've ever had a dream of John. Not yet anyway.

M Oh, Melanie, it will happen, but yet, John, I hope you don't take offense to that. It's the eternal return, like everything happens right eventually, Melanie says in the chat room. When the time comes, can I fire him? Um me, my, guess ahead. Now I'm coming to Vermont tomorrow, Melan. Oh, oh, Paul, I did see you mentioned in the chat room that our friend Mike from Queen City Cabinetry will be joining us tonight. Yeah, he'll be coming in tonight. His triumphant return excellent. It's been quite a few weeks.

Yeah, I mean I had to make a deal with him. He still really wasn't up for walking, but I promised him, and this has to happen, so you're gonna have to help me. The only way he would come in is if I promised him that when he got there, DJ Steve would give him a piggyback ride up to the third floor. H king. Yeah, Now, does ZJ. Steve know this that you have promised? Said? No, No, That's why I'm telling you. I need you to help me when when, when, when we're all together tonight, I need you to help me convince Steve that you know it's the right thing to do.

Yeah, and that he should get out. And I mean, after all, Mike is a sponsor and of the radio station and he deserves this, and uh, who better for the job than DJ Speed. I think that's a good strategy. Now, if that doesn't work, Uh, can we resort to shaming DJ Steve like I'm thinking, you know, we all pointed him and say, what are you as he you can't carry Mike on your back? Something like that. Oh yeah, yeah, well we'll prod him. Yeah absolutely, Yeah, total peer pressure. So he's convinced, you know, he's convinced that, you know, Mike tell Afita needs a hand getting up stair.

Yes, does peer pressure work with uh man? I thought that's a women that controlled each other peer pressure. You never did much for me. Well you are a Sigma mail, uh sir? But data?

But yes, fear pressure is there's some Z. There's no Z like u Zata Mail. But I'm proud of it. Yes, but yes, I'm sure that'll work. Very exciting. We'll have to make sure we put that on YouTube, right, m hmm. Do you want to plug while you're on with us? You want to plug? What the theme is tonight? Or actually, well, kind of a dual theme in a way if I'm breaking things tonight because Mike's going to be there. So yes, I'm going to bring in my great grandmother's uh fine china, and I'm just gonna put it within a three feet radius of Mike and see what happens.

That's what we're doing tonight on the show Music. Oh, very exciting there you all right, if if I can't at the China, well we'll end up doing if I can't get the fine china from my great grandmother, is that we're going to play twenty songs in a row that the folks need to figure out what they all have in common. We also have a ten PM tribute to the great Late Gordon Lightfoot, and of course we have the name that nine at dying tonight with our new competitor in the room, Mike Flipita. Excellent, excellent.

I hope I do better than than I did the last time without DJ. Steve crushed me absolutely last week. He won the week before. Oh I forgot about last week. Well, figure as I forgot the week that I actually won. I guess I'm still dealing with the shame and embarrassment of the week that I lost. All these times traveling, he's getting used at three point, you had one, and then the last question your points are tripled, so you got four and I got three. So you stole the win last right, that's right? Yes, well, very good.

Well I look for her to that this evening. I do love my fridays here. Yes, I'm looking forward to it too. And John, we don't have to wait until the end of the year. I hope you come in soon. All right, But do you want to add do you want to answer a trip one last trivia question? Sure? In Bad Teacher? What subject does Cameron d As his character teach? And we have Cameron Diaz right in back of us right now, Paul, See she's hovering. I didn't see Bad Teacher, but that's streaming right now. That movie English the thing.

Yes, Cameron d As. I was once in a room with her, and she reminded me of the Nylon balloon smiley face we have right here. Oh yes, which still has helium minute. Yeah, it was probably drunk when I saw her. Bob. Yeah, that's from PAULI Stone's birthday celebration from weeks and weeks and weeks ago. And that is an Cameron Diaz. It's kind of like Passe Now. I don't think he's been moving around a long time, right right, But she wasn't this something about Mary? So she's immortal? Yes? Agreed? Yeah, agreed?

All right, Paul, Well, we look forward to tonight my friend. All right, fellas, I'm a good evening. I'll see it a little while then, all right, take care. All right. That was our friend Police from retro Spectrum Radio with Police, which you can hear every Friday night from eight to eleven pm here at w m H ninety five point three FM. And looking forward to tonight's show and getting to see our friend Mike from Queen City Cabinetry, Matt, have you heard from maul Gene Simmons lately? I hear he is on He and the other alive members of Kiss are on their final tour x x x I I x x x I thirty two, thirty two.

I think they've been doing a final tour for thirty two years. Everybody makes that some vary Haitian of that joke, and it's just bizarre. I've been on a final tour for thirty two years. No, they haven't, and they have no why anyone thinks that they were on the That's not true. Now, however, there is. Some people do get a little bit confused, and I mean some of it might be Mandela effect in fact, but no, some people get confused because, uh, you know, they it seems like they started the End of the Road tour a few years ago.

But that's because they did start the End of the Road tour a few years ago. And then no, that's not true, but but COVID hit and uh, that really put a put a delay on everything. You were supposed to go backstage. Weren't you at some show with them? I was, well, it could have been. And you know, we have the slip stream of a multiple universes. That might have been some other universe who were in at that time. Now, PAULC says in the chat room, he's right. I saw the farewell tour with Dan in two thousand and one.

That was the right. That was the farewell tour of the original four members Peter Chris, with Peter Chris and Ace Frehley, they were still in the band. That was the last tour that they did with the original four, but then they continued with Well, different guys have been in and out of the band, but the current lineup, which is Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer has actually been stable for the last two decades. The band as it is now, it's been that way for twenty years and for two decades they've been on a final tour.

No, yeah, that is not correct. Well, it's not their fault that ticket Master is deceiving people to jack up the prices. What does that is it. I'm not sure what that has to do with it, but Master has been deceiving everybody. You're right. That is the go to for every greedy of pop star, including Bruce Springsteen playing white four hundred bucks for his seed up in the nosebleeds action yeah some stadium him, oh yeah, oh yeah, to get Master his dirty. By the way, you mentioned Arrowsmith. Yes, what you don't realize, not being a native of Manchester, New Hampshire was in around nineteen seventy one seventy two.

It was considered a local band here in Manchester. They appeared free once and we went to see them with the next door neighbor that was just a kid yet and he did get some to some mischief and later on they played at what was called New Hampshire College at the time. Now up ball, because you're going to hooks it before it became Snoo, the Southern New Hampshire University. And I can't remember, but we wanted to go see it. But I think they wanted four dollars, and who had four dollars in nineteen seventy two, you know my weekly allowance was a buck fifty and that you know, four dollars maybe if your last name was Rockefeller.

Am I right? And then in seventy three, but only in New England I found that later in Boston they had the number one hit song would dream On. But when I was in visiting my father would live in Atlanta, the number one song in Atlanta, Georgia in nineteen seventy six was dream On because it hadn't been released in Georgia until that. Yeah, they were in New England band, they expanned it out. It's like I remember when the cars hit. They were just when I was at Buston University. You could see him from something like four or eight eight bucks at the Paradise, then suddenly at the Boston Guard after the first album yet and you could see at the Ratskeller the police for three bucks, which is about for four bucks, because you know, that was really cutting into your booze.

Allowed kind of think it's a factor of seven, eight, nine ten. But one thing I regret is Miles Davis was playing right in Kember Square where Buston Universe. It was ten bucks, yeah, and I wanted to go see him. I did not have ten bucks, you know, to be like a hundred or whatever. But tuition was six thousand dollars a year. Then my father sold some of his his Texico stock. But by the way I end, Saturn says in the chat room kiss they rock. Well, they're quite big in Greensboro. There are some people that pervert that would say that of that era and of that genre and of that what you'd call the ziggy star Dust you know stick that Stars with a Z was a better band.

I don't even I mean I you must have heard of star I don't cult band. I don't think I have. Oh they had a good album. Really, as we listened to my brother would always join the tape clubs. You know, send it to ninety nine cents, you'll get ten and then you're continue, well you get enjoined them all. Never we're never gonna bay for him. And my mother worked, so you know, she was we we were there when the mail came, so all the tunning noticed this went into the trash. But you know, we had all the we had the kiss and that by the way, policy, says DJ Steve sat in with Kiss twice, probably probably filled in for Peter Chris when he was But did he ever sit in with Stars?

Oh? I bet he has. See when you say stars with a Z, I think of the uh, the cable network that shows movies, the Stars Network? Is that a filthy one? No? No, remember the Spice Channel theme song? Dude Do Do Do? I don't actually remember the Spice Channel. It sounds like something I probably wasn't allowed to have growing up when I said my twenties, Like my father found out that on the box, if you took a match book and put it a certain way, you get all the channels. You know, he's telling me that song.

I was gonna watch sports. I'm sure he knew I was gonna watch softcore pornography right right? But yeah, so du do do do? If you're just joining us, of course, that is a glorious Friday. Here. John Hopwood is here coming up at five pm. We're gonna be joined for a few minutes. By truth, he's gonna be calling in. He's got a new single which today will be the world radio premiere of TM two D. Let make sure I get that right. Not to go D slexic with it. Yes, that's what it is yet TM TM two D. So he's gonna be joining us.

We look forward to talking with him. Not only is he very talented, but you know, he's done a lot of activism in terms of mental health awareness and so forth. So he's always pretty interesting to talk to. May I just since we're talking about music, informed the audience that Stars still is together. Oh, it's an American hard rock and power pop band from New Jersey, the Garden State. Some of Meason I thought they were from Detroit, but despite a lack of major commercial success, Stars as a lasting cult following and has been cited as a major influence by bands such as Motley Crue, Poison Bon Jovie, and Twisted Sister.

But they were the version I remember they're acting from seventy five to eighty, and so they were like at the same time as Kiss. Yeah, it's it's odd that I'm not really aware of them. Surprising. Now DJ Ceve isn't the chatwoman. He says I did not sit in with Kiss, But he did not say that he did not sit in with Stars. So I think what probably has happened is Paul was confused. He meant to say stars when he said kiss, so you know, well he did. He might have sat in with looking glass, which stars came out and when it broke up looking Glass, which is one of those one hit wonders.

And I think you and PAULI had it on. Their famous song was Brandy, You're refined, such a finger, What a good wife you will be, which is ironic because I was singing that to the girl. I'm the woman. Excuse me? Why am I at paleo remember zeta I'm going to see in Vermont? Paleo zeta? Is that a word? That's a good? Paleo zeta or paleo omega? I like Mega mega watches. Uh, you know they were cool at one point, very expensive. Oh by the way, police says an all new shower Time with DJ Steve tonight at eight oh five the most exciting one yet.

Oh I look forward to that shower time? Is that on the Old Stars Network? Spice Jan Yes, Yes, Jean Simmonson's wife, Miss Tweed. You know I have to atone for usingly or term girl. I think she had many a shower sequence or was that another playmate actress? Let me? Oh, I know is She has a scene in a film called Singapore Sling And I've never watched the rest of the film, but I just know she was outstanding in the die Hard rip off I think it's called Skyscraper, where Andrew Dice Clay plays a mad man who kidnaps a bunch of beauty contestants and holds them hostage and of course not knowing that Shannon Tweed is actually like a commando or whatever.

I can't really remember. And one of the best things is just as he was about to die, they have like they call green screen effects, you know, they use them all the time where they put you because this is a it's not even a B movie, a cheap movie, and so they project whatever is back of you. And it was so badly done. You know, you could see like the edges of Andrew Dykes Clay, which is like U just fading in and out. And I thought that was one of the best parts of the movie, where Shannon was clothed.

Uh and Saturn says, Shannon Tweed did good. Of these movies, no contest, we say, Oh, which one. I wonder if it was sky Scraper. By the way, they had quite a few movies by the way, our friend, h our friend, uh truth is going to be calling at five fifteen he needs he has been delayed, so he will be joining us at five fifteen PM in the Eastern time zone. Just the guy that goes back like six years at the beginning of the show.

Uh yeah, actually, now that you mentioned it, probably Yeah, he's been on quite a few times. Hey, I am so sorry. Skyscraper was not the movie. It was called No Contest nineteen ninety had Roddy Roddy Pipe, Roddy Roddy Pipe, Rowdy Roddy Piper say that many times. Rowdy Roddy actually a good actor. Yes, he was just like Keean Simmons was good. Yeah. By the way, yeah yeah, yeah, okay, so that's why and Saturn said no Contest. So n Saturn knew the movie you were talking about. Oh, when he said no Contest, I thought it was like Shannon Tweet when it comes to play Man's That's what I thought too.

But no, he was his afriend to the movie. Apparently. Well, who was that other one, the one that used to have this show and she was always drug dog and she had her little dog, sugar Pie. I was dating a woman that loved that show and then she ohdeed Anna Nicole Smith. Yes, she was in Skyscraper. Oh yeah, oh you've seen that one connected by the incredible Ross and Marshall Thurber, which sounds like a name somebody made up. Wayne. Dwayne Johnson produced the movie. Yeah, he was in that. I don't remember him being in the movie because I had other interests.

These are movies you watch, you like, Thank God for Street. Could you fast forward through a moving on cable back in the old days, No you couldn't. No, no, no, yeah, it makes it so much easier, life much more easier. DJ Seves says, uh, yeah, you just mentioned it. Do you remember the movie Runaway with Jean Simmons and Tom Sellick. Well that was absolutely movie and he was excellent as the villain. Oh yeah, yeah, that was a creepy movie. One thing, I uh, Dwayne Johnson is a really nice person the rock He is, no, you know, very nice to his family, beloved by the people that know him.

That was random, though, what what because he was in the movie. He's in Western Law. I know it was Sister in Law. Wait what movie? When Johnson was in Skyscraper he was yeah, uh what year was Skyscraper twenty eighteen. It's not the one with Anna Nicolson. Oh oh oh oh okay, okay, Anna Nicole Smith was in a movie called Skyscraper that cost about ten dollars to oh okay. I was very confused there. Yeah no, Uh. Dwayne Johnson has a great reputation for being a really good guy. But it was another die Hard movie.

Yeah, well you never surpassed the original die Hard I suppose not. Um, let me give the numbers six zo three two five zero six zero seven six zo three two five zero six zero seven. Um, you can 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 I'm on Uh. You can interact into opine in the Facebook live chat, but the best thing to do is to give us a call at six zo three two five zero six seven.

Miriam Bannish joins us in the Facebook live chat. Hello, Miriam, Um, we will uh. I'll probably push back the break a little bit since truth is going to be joining us late. Um, just to tell us as truths. I guess uh what uh now? You. I am scrolling about that Anna Nicole Smith film. I think that is. Oh yeah, she died in two thousand and seven, it seems seems more recent seven. Huh. They made such a god awful movies with these playmates. You can ask me a question. Yes, well, you did have something you were interested in discussing today on the program or program as I believe they say in the BBC.

Well, Mac, why don't you gently interview me about it? While I'm bringing back memories of skyscrape in nineteen ninety six straight the video that Okay, I wouldn't be surprised if there's several a lot of different movies with that title. She played Carrie Wink Oh and we'll just see her. She was supported by Richard stein Metz as Gordon Wink, Calvin Levels as Nickie no Idea, Jonathan Fuller as Jacques. I'm surprised my friend Ed Young wasn't in this this bomb and lead to braw as Captain Wood. I'm only beating the people that actually have like pictures, Captain Wood, huh, I have.

I have never heard of any of these actors, and I was once the number five boy writer. I know, I know by the way end, Saturn says, we say, Shannon Tweet did another movie called by Body Chemistry four? Was she in Body Chemistry one through three? She may not have been. There might have been other uh actresses in those films, shouted all the U Hefner Yeah, um so yeah, so you had uh. And we're gonna for our purposes here, we won't get into the names. Uh the nitty gritty mentioned in the article that you were posting online earlier.

But it had to do with an election denier. Yes, yes, a sordid tale. And obviously today's program will not be going on YouTube. But that's right, this is crazy. Well, I mean it's impossible to get away from it, right, I mean, you know Trump he's still he's still talking about the twenty twenty election, how it was stolen from him, you know, I mean, just ask God, the my pillow guy. Well, they're still talking about that the ninety sixty election was stolen from Richard Nixon. Oh, there you go. And what about eighteen seventy six?

Man, I was just thinking, said, didn't they steal it from Samuel Tilden. Well, I'll tell you, I actually recently got a YouTube strike for discussing the eighteen seventy six election here on the show. You know you just might. Yes, And we were talking about the eighteen hundred election that John Adams, so I was thinking of stealing. We're going to be in real trouble. M James D. Blaine, he was the plume Knight, he was the eighteen eighty eight election. He lost because of rum Romanism and all. See they actually do teach history in public high schools and like in Manchester, New Hampshire, it's just nobody liked the subject except for me.

Oh, I see that the problem we used to have like the ball, the ball or history my team nobody didn't even get the answer.

Yeah, yeah, you know those days are gone of that old memory. Yes, Matt, a prominent election denier said yours truly, but not by name. He actually called me, you know, it was it was a collective name that it's a woman's name. Oh, but we won't had nothing because candidate, because it was writing about a certain election. Of course, whenever you write something that's like you're like, you know, doing it for a certain person or the paid employee or this is that yeah, which is which is nonsense. If if you knew me and the situation and said we were this collective group myself belongs to were radicals.

Then it didn't take very long like to find out that this person was is a radical himself, an election denier extraordinaire. That and we're going to name the state he's from. He's a county commissioner, but we're not going to name the actual state. We're just gonna use it's nickname, which is quite wonderful. And it's a place I tried to live in, but altitude sickness prevented me from moving there. Right from the same time, this guy was running for governor in the Land of Enchantment. Oh what a nice land.

In the twenty two twenty twenty two elections, he ran for governor as Republican, of course, being a Maga Trump lover and an election denier, and he came in a sterling fourth and a five actually was a five man race, with a lusty ten point six percent of the vote. Oh yeah, you got you gotta start somewhere now in New Mexico County commissioners the counties, they're the ones who certify votes. Twice in twenty twenty two, after the primary, he was of the five county commissioners in Sandeville County in the Land of Enchantment.

He voted against certifying the election, and then he did it again in November, and his uh excuse was he does not believe in voting machines. There should be a paper ballot handcount everything else is a fraud. Now in neighboring in Atreiro County in the Land of Enchantment, yes there was. Actually it was even worse the the election denials in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two, they actually, like a majority Republicans wouldn't certify vote even though Trump won by He won by twenty five points in Atrro County in the Lanta of German they wouldn't certify.

Why because because it wasn't a higher market in chaos. Oh that's my opinion, not yea. The thing is, as the Secretary of State of New Mexico, it's unconstitutional not to certify, because the thing is, if there's a problem, you fix it, you don't fault. They don't have that power to decertify. But there is a right wing, reactionary Trump loving organization that this person's affiliated with. We're going back to the person that called me and as a collective with a feminine feminine persons and I don't know, we can't use the word woman anymore and still be a Democrat.

But as you can see, I'm so politically correct, it's so woke, and that we're radical. But he is associated with it. That what they were doing, and they their ideology is that only a paper ballot is a valid vote. A a vote by a machine is invalid. Yeah, so it's it's it's fraud. It's fraud, because how can you prove what are somebody voted on. I mean, there's something called, like you know, the one of the great innovations, and it's called Anglo Saxon democracy. It used to be called the people you know well because it came out of England.

Was something called the secret ballot where you didn't vote, who raised your hands and intimidated. So this organization which I'm not going to name its name because then you would do know the state and we're only going by the land of enchantment where people are enchanted. I mean, I was in Santa Fe and that's where my one of my old heartthrobs, Shirley McLean, Shirley McLean, who can meet has memories of being back in Egypt or was it Mexico under the Aztecs and being sacrificed by a high priest who happened to be shared from watching that even it's my father, he couldn't stop, like, all right, you know that's that's new Mexico.

That's what I love it. Everyone. You know what I can talk about, tarot cards, crystals, everything. Yeah. Yeah, it's like just there is a huge community in Santa every Moneys thinks everybody the crystals are a big thing there. Right, No, it's like, hey, I found at all. But I breathe there. I can't really breathe now, having trouble in Alasthma. Yeah yeah here. But but this person I found up in in December and January of twenty twenty two and then twenty twenty three, a Republican candidate, first time candidate for a land of Enchantment state representative office, running against an entrenched incumbent who nobody ever really run it against.

He's a he's a Democrat, and he lost. He lost by seventy four to twenty six percent. I mean a sixty forties a lands fifty eight forty two. You'll say it's a landslide, the first one with Reig when you're winning. Yeah, that's a landslide. This was seventy four, twenty six, seventy four twenty six. This is a person that called himselves the Maga King. He hired four people, including his father, to shoot up the houses of prominent Democrats, including the state rep who had selected by the Democratic Caucus to become the Speaker of the House.

One house they shot up, a ten year old girl was sleeping in. You know, pastor fell on her. Yep, I remember that in the news. I found out that it's it's there because they're reporting nobody gets Nobody really wanted to give this guy money, and the Albuquerque Police are investigating whether there was This has nothing to do with the commissioner, whether where did the money come from. We'll end that there, right, because we're going off on a tangent. This guy gave one hundred four dollars and ten cents to this candidate, this first time candidate.

This first time candidate was a convicted felon seven years in prison, then another five or some odd years in parole for a slash and what do they call slash or something robbery at a kmart. You you go in and you you know, you just start smashing, grash and smashing what smashing, grab, smashing grab everything. Convicted felon when he ran against Representative Garcia of the Democrat. He went to court because under the layer, convicted felons is not allowed to run to run for office, they're not qualified.

But a lower a court in New Mexico struck that down as unconstitutional, so he remained in the ballt. So in my I would think a reasonable person would would think that there's no way that this county commissioner knew that this guy wasn't a convicted felon, you know, a burglar in that ya. And uh then the guy, you know, subsequent to the election, he gave the campaign contribution in September, after he himself had lost the gubernatorial race. He's giving money in September to this guy. This guy is in sense saying that it's rigged, you know, a seventy four twenty six percent loss, it's been riched.

Rick And he's going to some of the people, like some of the Democratic state reps who he hired people to shoot up their eyes. Yeah, and sense that he's being robbed everything. But you have to understand in an environment that this county commissioner, and my opinion, is aggravating with voting against certifying, associating with people like this, there's an organization that it's a reactionary right wing election denying organization. They were in Artreiro County, the neighboring county, doing a canvas going door to door asking people who they voted for, and there were reports some of the were saying they were county officials.

Most of the people they were dealing with Hispanic the you know, the fact that you know, so there was because of voter intimidation in the past and the ethnicity. You know, that's a federal violation of the civil rights and the House Congress Oversight Committee looked into it. Yeah, about the intimidation, considered intimidation. But this is the environment that this guy is coming out of. You know, first of all, you're running this unsuitable candidate is running for office, a convicted felon, and then he's denacing overwhelming loss.

This isn't like in the you know, the New Ampshire we've got you're always something like oh here in New Hampshire, we've got four or state reps. I mean a landslide in some places ten vols right right, So there's three counts. We had one in Windom, which is one of the richer cos cities, and the downs in Manchester. We only have a few cities. Most places are dogs. And it turned out that there were paper ballots that the candidate was his name was in the fold and the machine because when you take act ballot, you run it through the machine wasn't counting them.

And then Trump was saying, I told you there was election fraud because I told you, I told you. And then it turns out, after all this right wing magahalaah blue, it was just because the guy's name is when people were folding the ball right right, yeah, and uh but oh we just had But that's part of polity. Although you see people claiming people are thug this and that that'll happen over a ten you know, a ten vault recount of reversal or something. But this is a different level. You know, I have never really talked much about this, and you and you were talking about I kind of like pooh pooh, when don't get into all that stuff.

Remember, I always been buying into the insurrection. And that incidentally in Atreo County, the county that refused to certify elections, and they're just not seriously, they're not going to certify any damn election, right. One of the county commissioners was at what I'll call the riot of January sixty of the capitol, was, I guess he's convicted. The Secretary of State in New Mexico consider an insurrectionist and under the state constitution of New Mexico, you are not allowed to serve office.

Yeah, which convicted balance once weren't either, so they removed it, but there was it is constant environment of of this of the election denial that goes into fantasy. But reading it, I started to understand. We have the free state project here in h I'm sure, which I call anar called libertarian. That doesn't mean everybody in it is bad. A lot a lot of people a Democrat, but but they associate with Republicans, which angers Republicans and angered some of the free states. For the most I've I've known a couple of free state Democrats, but they usually very concerned.

We were not going to go into that. Yeah, but one of their one of their leaders, Carla GARRICKI, who's the head of the New Hampshire secession movement, you know, to be an independent uh country, which Dave our friend Davey. And when I'm when I complain about Carla, he's you know, he'll he'll call me to task. She will, you know, she and others they promote don't vote by a machine, vote vote by absolute ballot, and you start wondering, why why this why at it slows down the it slows down the process now in my opinion, so I don't know why they do it.

I've actually seen a clip of a video where they're talking about it. Because at our public access TV station, you know, these people people of shows, but some people will samit tastically go a YouTube and then so you get bits before and after the show. Yeah, but now it seems like it's just the deliberate selling of anarchy, because no rational person would believe this. I mean, what type of ideology that a paper beout, you know, voting machine, I mean the voting machines here in the Lambshire are are old models from the eighties.

Now to be fair, to be fair though, now let me let me just uh play devil's advocate a little bit. I have heard stories and maybe you think this is preposterous. I don't know. I'll just throw this out there. We head though the number thirteen fell out of it sake, well, I have and this is also of a supernatural nature. There are stories out there about some of these voting machines possibly being haunted by the ghost of Hugo Chavez. I don't know. I mean, you might think that's crazy. I don't know. Probably there was a big entreton at the same time that was in the land of Enchatman.

I almost blew it saying the state in Arizona where the machines might have been haunted by the ghost of John McKay see, who is a you know, is a disgusting communist, I know, right, you know he talked to he actually worked with Democrat m m and in fact one of this guy who allegedly is behind the conspiracy to shoot up the plays, shoot up the houses of the of Democratic legislators. Yeah he uh, you know, he could have been possessed by the ghost of Hugo Chaos for all we know. And listen, I'll just throw another thing out there.

I do you might think this sounds crazy, but I'll just throw this out there. This is just something I've heard. Some of these ballots, some of these paper ballots that that you think are

you know, uh fine, Uh some of them might have been might have been made with a special kind of bamboo that came from China or something, and uh, you know that'll come up the works and throw the entire action to the wrong person if that happens. You mean, it has like an It doesn't have an ink that will just change. It has magic ink that changes if you and you go for the Republican candidate. Here's how magic. It just dematerializes. It upcomes the Democrat. I saw a YouTube. I saw a YouTube video where they actually prove it, where they take a piece of bamboo parchment from China and they write They take a pen and they actually write Trump on this bamboom parchment and and the like, and then the ink.

It's weird, it's almost it's freaky, like the ink starts to move around and it and it it changes and it forms a new word. And the new word is Biden. Now, how why would you have to write in Trump since he's on the ballt and off fifty States District of Columbia. You don't have to write him in on an actual ballot. But you don't have to write him in on an actual ballot. But in this video they're demonstrating how if you take this special bamboo paper, if you even try to write Trump on it, it changes the range.

And it's that people vote for are actually on the bellot, the last writing candidate. You're there. It's very rare, wasn't it in Alaska? Murkowski? Right? But see the special bamboo parchment, no matter what you do to it, it will change it to Biden. You mean that if they'd use that in Alaska, Joe Biden would have been elected centator. Yes, but he wasn't a resident. I know he was Hunter Biden. Maybe maybe that has that's the secret to Hunter Biden's lap. That's what's on the laptop is information about how they use the special bamboo parchment.

All right, brought to the United States by the ghost of Hugo Chavez to steal the election. I'll tell you what I think they're onto something. If you ask me, I mean you you make it sound crazy, but I think they might be onto something. Yeah, you know, well, it's it's you've you've brought me to my senses. Good. Yes, And I thought he these people were the radicals. I mean, if you really need convincing, if I could make a suggestion, if you go on YouTube and you watch they Have you ever watched the video of Rudy Giuliani in front of Four Seasons Landscaping and lawn Care with black goop dripping down his face explaining all of it, laying out the whole case for the stolen election.

If you wasn't he disparred for those allegations, it wasn't. He was not disbarred. I believe his law license was suspended. I got lying. Yeah, yeah, a lawyer, Surprisingly, folks, under the Code of Ethics, a lawyer is not supposed to lie unless they're actually inside the courtroom on the instructions of their client, and then they're not supposed to know that they're lying, right, That's what you call like, Uh, it's it's a it's a creative fiction. Ah, yes, yes, well we are. It's about five coming up on five times.

Oh I sure, hope. So hey, could I send broadcast a message to a special party in the Northern Kingdom?

Oh? Please? Ye that's Vermont. Yes, yes, it's the Tarot card reading with the hermit. Oh, the hermit in the woods or something spears west and the King of Coins in the East. Oh, yes, the King of Coins in the East. Yeah. Dear

hmm, what would you say? Couldn't you can't really say the name like we did before, Dear Denizen of the Northern Kingdom. In the past, you were deadlocked as your energies were working at cross purposes. Things have changed. It's time for you to project all the confidence you can muster. You must know your plans. And Matt, I just can't read. I can't read the handwriting of all. I can't read this handwriting? Who wrote it? The ghosts of joshavas well? You were with norm for what was it, thirty seven years thirty four?

I should have This is a dramatic reading and I'm doing Oh what you did, it would have been very good for you. But alas, I like the way you were reading it. But do you remember Norm's handwriting. No, I don't remember seeing him actually write anything ever. Know what I'm thinking about. It's not really here right now. So you know you've heard of automatic writings. He's dead. Uh, yeah, he's not dead man. Oh, I'm sorry. He lives on in our hearts. He lives on. I'll try again, Okay, project all the confidence you can muster and know your plans are working and that your goal is secured.

And I would like to just give him warning to the denizen of the Northern Kingdom, a warning. But these this sounds like nice things? What what? What could there be warn about? There is a traffic ticket in your future, not a speeding ticket. Just dude, you know normal, you know, meter expire normal. That's where it reminds me my meter expires eat minutes before the show's over. That was a little inside with the traffic ticket. But if you know, you know, that was funny. I thought that was funny. If Paul sees listening still, he got the joke.

Very good, very good. Well, if you'd like to, I don't know where our guest is, so if you'd like to join us six ZO three two five zero six ZO seven The studio line is open, so I'm just gonna put it out there.

You can email me Matt at Matt Connerton dot com. You can interact Undo 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 zo three two five zero six O seven six zo three two five zero six O seven. Matt. I'd just like to say, you know he's on Wednesday. Yeah, under like a gloomy gus. Yes you were. You You ended the segment on a very sour to say the least. I you know, that's what I didn't intend to do. That I actually see, you know my new I'm changing the name to my show to Apocalypse Imminent. I believe that global thermonuclear war is a win win situation from both the what's left of the human race and the aliens who we you know, I call them ancient astronauts who spread their seed many many eons ago and led to this strange and wonderful race I belong to, and that Matt is a cousin brand job Homo sapien sapiens, the Harminid who knows yes, knows who knows they knows yes.

And I just like to say it's my opinion that Stanley Kubricks two thousand and one, A Space Odyssey, which I just watched for the first time in a bit and on a big TV at my sister's house. Yeah, and instead of just like online and what originally saw, it was on a big screen is probably the greatest movie ever made. And I'd like to remind people in the original screenplay, which was written by Kubrick, who bargainly mabe been the greatest filmmaker ever, and Arthur C. Clark, who was one of the greatest Side five writers ever and who was actually a very intelligent person who came up with the idea of the geospationary satellite nineteen forty seven.

I guess he made royalties are for a long time in his life for that. They in the original screenplay. And if you haven't seen the movie, there's gonna be spoiler alert at the end as the Star Child, which represents the evolution of the human race. The Star Child, that's also Paul Stanley, and Kiss is coming towards that's right, coming towards Earth after being resurrected and reborn. There was originally supposed to be the Earth was supposed to be ringed by satellites with nuclear weapons which were supposed to explode as he approached.

In other words, the idea of the movie, which is a great film because so much of it is absolutely unexplained, and it is images. I'm a great fan of silent film, which is really a different medium almost from everything is images, and uh, you know, and then you have the dialogue. But the best films tell the story through the images. And somebody like a Steven Spielberg, you can tell you can watch a movie with this with the dialogue off some of his you know more than you don't want to watch Lincoln with the arcs are But I don't know if you wanted to finish your thoughts saying that nuclear war can be a vigor and in vigor anything that leads to a leap of human evolution.

I love the positive spin that you that's wonderful. Yes, you gotta see the glasses half full and radio I think it's brimming and uh, truth to run over and we have truth on the line. Hello, oh truth speak the truth. Oh this is Za does

Hello. Either it's a bad connection or he pocket dialed us. I'm Alfred, you girl easy. As long as you know where the mountains are, that's that's true. It is you know when you're in Vermaud. I just aimed myself towards those montains and she'll be there. You know what, I'm supposed to go to the bank to get a ring out of my safety deposit bucks. What's a family bought. I'm gonna let him him back there without a ring. It sounded like he was given somebody directions. You know, there's a great song I'd like to sing one day on Paul Sees Show.

Yeah, a ring on her finger and one through his nose. Oh. I think Eddie Fisher did it after he had been married and divorced him. Elizabeth Taylor, I see, what do you think about the contre about they made a movie with Cleopatra starring an Afro. I can't even pronounce that word either, Africa. I don't know if she's African American, but she might be Afro British or something. But you know somebody of African descent, and the government of Egypt has denounced it, saying that Cleopatra was a Macedonian and light skin.

Jada Pinkett Smith is that Will Smith's Yeah, Jada Pinkett Smith, the woman who inspired Will Smith to slap Chris Rock. If if somebody had said that about my wife, I'd have slapped him too. Well. I'm a shorter the right that the thing, so I might have just kicked him in the groin, will need him or whatever. Probably in a kneecap is all I could have done. Will Smith is much larger than Chris Rock. You're probably more Chris Rock size, yes, but he has a very tight tongue, you know, like Jim will Call.

He's probably one of the few people that could out talk and outfox me. Right by the way, Jim is the well we don't talk about local politics, but he did himself in public the other day in an official capacity. Oh is that reading to many a comment? Because one of the ultimen made a funny comments saying, for once in my life, I don't have I don't have any questions to ask they didn't want Jim, We've been a guest many times in the show to continue to talk. As Matt once told me when I brought him on That's uh public Access TV show which followed Mine, John, I never thought I would meet a human being that I could out talk you.

Yeah, that was uh, yeah that I did say that. That is a true story, And it's true. That is absolutely actually figured out because you're not talking like it responsible chatterbox, like being Jim that he was thinking of what he was gonna say, and it already loaded up before he stopped one sentence and he went jumped into the other one. Yeah, but that's yeah, stream of consciousness. Yeah, people tend to. I think people do that though anyway, generally, at least when they're having political arguments.

That's part of why people talk past each other. People. People don't listen to each other. They're they're already thinking about what they're going to say, and they have some boiler play. They've got their next talking point that they're loading up in their mind while the other person is talking. So so you had to watch him so you could you could get it, You could get a word in edgewise. Yeah, you could anticipate when the shift was gonna come. Although in fairness, in fairness to Jim, though now he can out talk you.

However, he's also and this is not please don't take this wrong, but he is a little more in tune with when the other person is trying to get in. Well, he's not, as I told you, I have the symptom or disease whatever, like a beaver. Here's the sound of running water. It goes at packs mud when its tail right. And when I hear somebody talking, I start talking. But when you're silent, I'm silent too. You're well, you can wait. You've said many a time I'm stock or Upwood's not saying a damn. We've we've yes, we have had many many a moment like that over the years where well, know what happens is, here's what happens.

For listeners who don't know, here's what happens. Something technical goes wrong that I have to attend to, and mister Hopwood happens to be here in the studio with me, so I need him to speak because I have to figure out what has gone wrong here, because you know, we don't Uh, it's not like we've we've got a producer or somebody to take care of it for you know, I do everything myself, just like Peter White does everything himself on the Morning Show, and Paul does everything himself on Retrospectrum and so forth.

So Piggy Pete right right, that'll be DJ Steve's duty duty later. Uh so um yeah, so uh so these moments happen where oh something's gone wrong. I got to fix something, and you just clam up and it's like, no, I'm not hearing any This is the one time I need you to do us So you need the stimulation of someone else speaking for you to speak, so I can talk over them to stop them from speaking. I see, ye, yes, I think I think I finally understand right, And once told you later because I used to be on more frequently, Yeah, you drive.

It takes a lot to exasperate bat Connor to yes. And I realized, in some ways, uh, it was mimicking the job I had in the military, where I was very good at all sorts of information coming in at once and then being able to condense it and then report it very quickly. It would be like being on see that you know you're gonna have a wire service. You know, if you're in the old newsroom, things are always coming in. He used to have printers. There were big metal things, actually beautiful things. This before plastic, but all this information coming in.

Yeah. Um in that time you just look, I just interrupted you again. You're but you've gotten You've gotten better over the years. Yeah. Um, well I realized what I was doing. Yeah, and I would take breaks. Um. Now, what do you think Easyg's issue is because he does the same thing. What do you think what do you think it is with easyg? Uh? Can you get the bleep ready? M No? Is he with him? Is it more a city is oblivious? Do you think? I don't know. I was gonna make a funny cobbsane. Yeah. I mean he's gotten better over the years to actually he's he's been trying.

He has been trying. If you were with him one on one, he's not bad. It's bad. Oh no, But that's true for everybody because it because in person you can you can see someone's visual cues, whereas on the phone it's uh, oh the problem with the phone and I have it too. This I don't even know if it's actually physical, but there seems to be a lag, but you're not having the contact, and it's different when it seems to be I can see you better. Nah, was there a bigger screen before? It's for while I used to come over here.

I'm very short and uh but you know from the waist up. I'm not asked. I have very short legs. But I remember I was anighble. I wasn't seeing you. I divide eyeball to eyeball. Uh, well that might that might have been I'm trying not to slouch. That's different, you know when you're because if if I slouch, then you can't see me, right, Yeah, Because Matt, and this is actually true, has a mesmerizing gaze. And I'm not saying that as a joke. You are a hypnotherapist, and looking at you does something different when you're speaking, because you are an excellent listener, but you connect way and it does something different to you.

But when I'm going heads here, there and everything. But see, you're also a lot of time you're involved in running the things. Yeah, it's not the icon text right right, So, but it seems like I can I've been seeing you more. The screen was moved or maybe I'm just adjusted or moved. Also, I'm going through physical therapy on my back where I have to improve my posture. Oh, I'm just help you see my shoulders. If I put on a suit that I had shoulders like sag, you have to pull. Yeah, it is helping. Good.

Good. I'm actually able to walk upstairs easily, not have to take baby steps going downstairs. Yeah. Yeah. We had to do balance exercises the other day. It's like in the word balance. Oh you remember one time it was just doubled over several years ago. Oh I do remember? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well I don't think our guest. I mean, he's welcome to try again, but it sounded like he was in the middle of trying to direct someone through some mountains. But I'll give the studio line six three two five six seven six H three two five six Z seven.

Oh by the way, um, oh yeah, he's okay. Jenny just messaged me. She does scheduling. Uh, he's gonna truth is gonna reschedule. So that's fine, no problem. Um oh for anyone who's wondering too. No classic film review today from our friend Eric Pilcher. He needed to delay that to Monday, so we will have that from him on Monday, and what is the motion picture? Matt? Oh, I forget what he is doing one on two thousand and one. I do have. I do have the schedule sent me that because he prepares these folks.

It was supposed to be American Pie. I'm not sure if that's still it or not, though, because he ever updated the schedule I have. It's okay, I want to do a rant. Oh it is it is American Pie. And then May twelfth is Training Day, a film that I really like, and then May nineteenth The Untouchables, and May twenty six, Saving Private Ryan. I refuse to see one of the movies you just said, Saving Private Ryan. No, I saw that with a friend, American Pie. Yeah, she was so tall. The Untouchables. No, I love the Untouchables.

So that leaves, uh, what was the other one? Training day? He is training day, even whatever his aim is, because Uma Thurman should have been mine. Ah. Oh, who's Oh Ethan Hawk? Is that Ethan Hawk? Is that his name? Oh? My god? There was a a documentary this joker made on this. You said he wanted to rant about something. I couldn't watch it because oh, it's really Hawk. It's like I don't want to look at you. And you're not even young anymore. You're an old bar gives a damn Ethan Hawker, Paul Newman, Paul Newman's dead.

I actually saw Paul Newman in nineteen sixty eight, two thousand. Oh. Brando died in two thousand and four. I think Paul the maybe two thousand and eight. I remember when he does because they wrote about him. Melanie's wondering when Eric is going to review Pooh, Blood and Honey, that's obscene. Now I haven't ran against I spent Is this about the last week or not even a week watching Batman movies? What the one you know Eric loved, which I saw when I was six years old in a theater that no longer exists here in the Queen City.

Uh and uh. But for starting with the Tim Burton the one with Jack Nicholson is a joker, Michael, Yes, Yes, I watched. I liked that one very much, I actually and the soundtrack is great. Watched all through, even the Joel Schumacher ones, which I thought I couldn't even get through them, which I never could even in the old days. And the one George Clooney was just so god, oh, Batman and Robin. I saw that. I saw that in the theater with some friends and uh. Afterward we had a converence, no joke, we had a conversation afterward.

All three of us wanted to walk out it was that bad, but but none of us wanted to wanted to disappoint the others, so nobody said anything, but we all felt it that that is. And I've never walked out of him. I've never even really wanted to walk out of a movie in my life except for that movie. I've never walked out of a movie. It's it's it's that whole thing of Oh I paid for this, I have to sit through it. But Batman and Rob and with Yeah, George Clooney, that is so he's so so bad. Just to a side, I've often walked out of a movie, and I made myself vocal.

I was at Dances with Wolves, which was, yeah, you walked out on that. My friend who I'm going to see up in Vermont, her significant other time when the oscar for that, oh and oh my god, at the end, I just stood up. I was with a woman I was very close to at the time. When I'm Vermont. That and I stood up so I can't. First I said, I can't take this anymore. Wow. I stood up and said this is white, middle class bowl and then walked out. You know, I wonder, Matt, why you know she said she loved me and wanted to have my kids.

We even pick on this why she left me. But she loved as much as she loved you. She loved dances with wolves more. I guess you know you think back about what you were like, like, I can't take this anymore middle class? Oh, I Lakota. He made her sit up in the balcony at that huge shrine auditorium so he could take a Sioux Indian up within the oscar to well, you know. Oh, it's like, hey, I'm not gonna you know, that's a private affair. And I just say, Mel Gibson's hair in that movie is fantastic. Mel Gibson's not in Oh, I'm sorry, Kevin Costner, isn't it?

That's who I mean. Sorry, I don't know why I was singing Mel Gibson. Kevin Costner's hair in that film is great. But then I got into the Christian Bale movies. Now, I never I remember watching them over a joker with my niece and her husband when it came out a video, which the films came out videos so early that yeah, yeah, let's say ask him. I don't understand this at all. I just don't get it. What is this about? Because it's just Niles. And then I was laughed and they really they were young. You know these got dollar you know they hit forty.

Yeah, they're gonna they hit forty. I'm an old fart now and acting like an old fart ever since I was the eighteen nineteen, twenty years old. And uh, I watched it again. The only reason he fled you when an Oscar is because he died of an overdose. And it was just like I remembered it bad. But I did watch the first one first and I thought that was great. But I remember watching the one with Bane. The third one, yeah, and that was terrible again and I couldn't watch that again, just nihilism. I haven't seen any of those, the ones with Christian bat I haven't kept up with Batman.

A fine actor, but yeah, the thing is is, these action movies are so ridiculous. I mean the absurdity of them, at least in the first one they're trying to give Batman, you know, how he can fly? Because right, well, I had a great cat, got Morgan Freeman, It's got the Michael Kaine as Alfred. It's got Gary Oldman as who becomes Commissioner Gordon. Yeah, he's a terrific and Christian Bale's a great actor. So you got all these actors and the uh, the guy, uh, what's his name? Nolan? Christopher Nolan is a hell of a director.

I loved Inception. He's Memento is a great movie. Yeah, I mean, and but it's just all this the aesthetics of it's done better than I can't watch these superhero movies anywhere. But it's just a constant, you know, it's just ridiculous. But as I understood for thirty years, it's about gaming. Everything's about gaming, you know, gaming, gaming, gaming consciousness. So all these ridiculous stunts. But you know that infected the the reboot of the James Bond series. I thought the first James Bond movie with Daniel Greig was excellent with Casino Royale, then they became increasingly absurd and watchable despite they would have like great actors in cast, you know, and and the production is the last one.

I can't even watch. I started watching the last one that Craig made because I guess he gets killed at the end. Oh, and I realized, oh, you've already watched it. And then I stopped watching at the exact place. Stop watching day because the New Seven, who's a Afro, a British woman, she just comes down, you know, smashes through a thing, grabs the guy and goes right up like she's Batman. I mean, all this stuff is so ridiculous and foolish and stupid, and at this age, you know, like, oh, Christian Bale and the Joker film.

I've never gotten through the Bail film that I'll never the Bane film, dear, I never will. Just oh, no, he's battling the police because you know, he's stopping them from hurting innocent people. And so cars are going and what we call ass over tige out of the army. You know, they're getting this and that, and I'm thinking, here, I am a simple injury in the army and my left pen hell aside from PTSC think about you know, here's oh and they say, you know, well nobody died. You know,

what the hell is going on? Here, and I know this happens, you know in movies all the time. You know, stop, but it's just like the action never stops. It's never a pause. It's ridiculous. And you've got all these actors that well he acts. You know, they've got an Oscar winner in the Bane movie. They've got married Marion Cotilia. You know, I won an Oscar playing EDFBF and she's just there. They got a hand Halthaway, you know. Yeah, but my favorite Batman movie, yea, is always the second movie. But as you know, I'm not allowed to talk about the actress that played bat Woman because of that lawsuit about jacination.

You know what. You know, well man, you know you just turn off sometimes when I'm giving the heartfelt stories. That's why I've always got to play the full as I told you. You know, every plane plays the food between my freshman sophomore year, I ran away and joined the Marine Corps. I went all the way down to San Diego, and when they found out how young I was, they kicked me out after that time in the brig. Now, I'd like to get your response to this. Melanie Liberty says in the chat, everyone knows joker is a social commentary on the Industrial Revolution.

The industrial revolution is something that we're far beyond. We're post post industrial revolution. So and keep so you disagree, keep your neo grab she is m under your hat, you're neo gram she's uh I've often said that she's a neo. So as you know, you know, it's hitchhiking up the LA Airport because I couldn't take a plane. Sorry, no, ignore that, keep going. And uh I dropped up at that Bonds, you know, Newport Beach, and there she was, nineteen seventy six, the prettiest girl I've ever seen. Really.

Oh yeah, but of course, just like I had lied to the Marine Corps about my age, you know, I had lied to her about my age. Oh and uh no, since it was all invalid everything. And now then I got the jacination lawsuit. That's you know, you're not allowed to speak about a person if you make a claim like you were married to them. Oh yes, yes. And then I got a call from my sisters saying you were never in the Marine Corps. And as we know that, we've talked about it many times, both off air and on air. Sat Somehow people just don't get satire, including people have known you literally all your life.

That is true. She knew I wasn't married too, MP. But she's wondering about the marine car when I was fourteen years old. But you know telling people that that summer between my freshmen and sophomore year, my older brother, who had always bullied me, you know I resented from being your older brother, drove my mother and our aunt down to Newport News, Virginia, where our cousin was stationed with her husband because yeah, now more was ending and he was waiting together the Navy, and so I got to spend the summer at home alone at reading books like Miss Lonely Hearts and The Day Looscus by Nathaniel West.

Somehow, that isn't so radio friendly unless we were doing a late night show on an educational radio station. Oh my, yes, so be the Batman with me MP as Catwoman. That is my favorite and Danny DeVito as the Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, But that movie was so dark and it is so dark, but that was Tim Burton at the time. But what is it about it that that makes of your favorite? I love MP. I just think it's the best one, and really through I thought that Jack Nicholson as the Joker was terrible. Really, Ledger is much better, and I thought it was a misogynistic movie that hateful towards women.

And Kim Basinger is really a beauty, but she can't really act. How she went a lost girl, I'll never know. And her screeching was really irritating. They would have hired somebody to dub the screeches, which they actually do. Not everybody can do though, Oh okay, yeah, it's like me. Mp is a better actress and a beauty. But I loved her Catwoman, and it was almost like an answer to the misogyny of that because you remember the way the Joker was hurt in Gotham City was he was a chemist. How that came out just because he fell in a vat of chemical he was all the products were screwing people up.

We're gonna poison him, the Joker, he fudges. It was much better, and you know the movie's interest, but it was so nihilistic. Then finally I finally watch the end, it's like, oh, and then people are basically good. That seems like a cop out, but then again, it was so relentlessly nihilistic. But it was a huge hit. But one of the things, you know, Tim Burton was going to direct the third one, but then they didn't want him to. They brought in Joel Schumacher, who had been made his reputation as a costume designer and then became a director.

Because they call it toy attic movies. Movies are created at the drawing board. You really literally have storyboards with selling toys in mind. Because Jack Nicholson made like he didn't get his usual ten million dollar fee in eighty nine because he wasn't as big a box office star. Sure, but he took six million and a cut of the merchandizing. They say he made any like up the fifty million bucks off the merchandise. And there's always jokes about him. He'd see some kid but a friend of his with Batman.

He says, that's not joker. I make my money from that. But so Tim Burton didn't want anything to that, and they offered Michael Keaton fifteen million to do the next U that movie where they brought in Val Kilmer. But what they didn't want to do it see, I forgot about I forgot Val Kilmer. I just forgot all about him. And the movie with Arnold Schwartzenegger. That's the one with George Clooney. That's yeah, Schwarzenegger is mister Freeze. Oh, it's so bag And Chris Kerminator wanted to Chris O'Donnell Is Robin and Donald.

Alicia Silverstone is bad girl, right and she she's the Valley Girl. That's mostly from Britain. It's so bad, it's unwatchable. It's so bad. But that was deliberately designed, the design of all the weapons and everything because remember everything's read one. The car suddenly is being redone. Every movie is due to sell toys. Star Wars made not only made a fortune at the box office for George Lucas, but the merchandising was unprecedented. Yeah, now they did that for James Bond was a kid. You can buy like a James Bond gun and stuff.

But that and Sean Connery. Eventually I actually got some money from that. Sean Connery became the biggest box office star in the world and in the United States number one from being but they were paying him under a seven year contract, right, they don't want to give up any of the money. And being a Scott who are the notoriously cheap people. And I'm part Scottish. I'm actually like a majority. So you can say they're cheap. They well, yeah, you meet them, they're cheap pauple. I had I had a scott You know about a father log I lived with a woman.

God damn was he cheap. It's just part of that Presbyterian culture. But these are people born in the thirty parents my father twenties thirties, They went through a certain thing. But he was a notorious cheap skate, isn't isn't Trump or Drump there isn't he? Uh? Yeah, he's he's half Scotty. His mother was in the Presbyterian. I don't think he's a cheap skate though I don't know. Yeah, well he doesn't. He doesn't pay his lawyers or his contract contractors. Yeah, so I guess we've type about my mate at the group.

Turns out to be true, turns out to be true, and and uh the former Drump proved it. There's a famous joke about a Scottish infantry regiment, uh in the British Army and the regimental condom that I really can't I'd like to tell him the show, but that's from Matt Connerton. I'm god, it is quite funny. When I heard the joke and I was like twelve, I didn't understand that. Man. Eventually I did, Yes, be cheap skate replacing replacing the decision they have to make, right. But these movies, I'm just watching them.

I mean, I love Terminator first Terminator Now and there were stuff going on at the time, but I'm watching these Batman movies. Nothing ever stops. What did you think of Val Kilmer as Batman? He was good? Yeah, how many did he do? As back? You just get along with Joel Schumann? Oh, that's right, that's right. And but George Clooney as an actor I respected though, but I'd never seen him in that. He was just terrible. Yeah, he just he tried to be a movie stunt because he was a television actor at the time.

Yeah. At the time TV was on the biggest screen you could have was thirty two inches, but mostly people had twenty four you know, like, what was it thirty two was a big screen twenty four inch twenty five set. So you're acting, it has to be different acting. So suddenly he's in a movie and he's making big gestures which you can on TV, but you can't unless you're in Nicholson and a master actor. Jack Ninson's a great actor. Yeah, and used his whole body in his face. Yeah, and U and he was trying to be like a big smiling right right, then you take bail.

I thought Dale was excellent, but he's an under player. You know, he's an under player. I remember so seeing the clooney in the theater. I believe I remember not having any problem with his of course, this was a long time ago. I might perceive it differently now. I don't remember having any problem with his performance per se. I just thought it was a terrible script. I mean, he had awful material to work with. Oh it was. It was it was agreed to say it's agreed. I mean it was cringe and the dialogue was cringe inducing.

It was like it was like it was written for young children. It was very strange. Well, he wanted it to Shoemaker Schumacher. Tim Burton film is a Tim Burton film. Yeah, and he evolved that eventually. I couldn't watch his stuff, but I love this stuff from Peee's Great Adventure and his early movies with Johnny Depp were great. Then he just started making money. I was drunk when I watched Willie Walker and I was like, oh, and I looked at my brother. My father would just died. So he come back from here.

It's like, holy sword, can you can we believe what we're watching because our sister thirty five years and took us to the took us to the wand you know with gine H the great that great character actor that's in the Producers and mel Brooks h Gene Wilder. Oh yes, he was in a staircrady. Yes, yes, was a great character actor. So that's well, I want to us and it was just holy Moses, we got we gotta start to wrap up. But movies, I just you know, but my father told me. My father loved David Lynch. He liked the independent cinema and everything.

Yeah, but the last movie ever watched where he died was A Muhalan Drive, which is a just saw great, he said, John, movies aren't made for this is when he's like, fifties movies aren't made for older people. They're made kids, and they are made for twelve to twenty four year old fanboys that continually go and that's a reality, and Mark Scorsese denounced everything, but it is a reality, sure, But it's just one of these ways these films to make a fortune more than the Unite used to be the United States with the majority of the box office.

They make so much money overseas now, the foreign markets, because they they're basically dialogue proof, because it is constant action and you can constantly watch it. But I'm an old fart and it really overloaded my nervous system and it's kind of disappointed as that first Christian Bill Batman I thought was wonderful. All right, we do have to go. Do you want to plug your television program before you go? What says it? Up on the YouTube? Just look for search for John Hopwood on medium dot com.

Oh yeah, you can read a couple of articles I just put up even better. Yes, John Hopwood without the H, without the H and John yeah, not ed, because there's plenty you find that there's plenty of John Hopwoods. I didn't mean without the H in Hopwood, because I would be offwood. Oh yeah, but very good, very good. Well, thank you for coming in. And uh, our guests will reschedule, I'm sure. And so that's gonna do it. I knew he wasn't coming out of sang a song. Ah, there's still time you could sing us out?

Do you want me to? Here we go? It's it's a song I was posing in my head as I was walking up here, and it's to the tune of eleanor Rigby. Oh really, now let me think about you know this is at the top of my head. John EO. Hopwood driving a Chevy Impalla. That sounds like the Second World War? Need I say more? Listen to that bomb booming. Every head on Elm Street turning as he chugs along. Oh what rhymes with long? What a? What a dingda? All the poverty struck people? Where do they all come from? All the poverty struck people, Matt?
