Matt Connarton Unleashed 6-16-23

Hello, everybody, Welcome, here we go. It is that time again, Matt Connerton unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM, Inglorious downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Although it looks like it might storm, but sometimes it does look like it might storm and then nothing happens and we just get a bunch of wind. We'll see. Oh, but it looks stormy and it is very humid outside, but it is nonetheless glorious as we are here at the WM and H studios, 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 info, show archives, etcetera, etcetera. Today is Friday, June sixteen, two thousand to twenty three, So nice to have you all with me. Coming up on the show today at the top of the hour. As we go into the second hour, the musical guest is Hell's Throne and they are from Germany. And that song that I played to open the show, that's Ravens Flight from their album new album out now and looking forward to speaking with them.

Of course, it can be a little dicey, you know. Skype has been very very reliable recently. However, the one time where we run into a problem occasionally is when when someone is skyping in from another continent, so that that's the one that's the one time where sometimes we have a problem, so hopefully it works out. I think the last time we had a band skyping in from the continent of Europe, we had to try a couple of times. They had to try connecting a couple of times before they could make it work on their end so we could all hear each other and so forth.

So we'll see. It's always an adventure when we go international, as we do love to do. But what a cool band. When we get close to the top of the hour, I'm gonna play another track of theirs. I'm gonna play my favorite song from Hell's Throne called Faded and it's just so good. But if you like that big sounding, symphonic rock, you know you'll you'll probably really like this band. And by the way, I should tell you though, in case you're looking for them online, they don't spell hell the way you might expect.

It is not the uh. It is not the h E double hockey sticks, as Mittens of Utah might say a Senator Mitt Romney. It's actually just with one L, so it's h E l apostrophe s and then throne Hell's throne. So I will ask them why they spell it that way. Maybe it's a German thing. I don't know, Maybe that's a maybe. Maybe in German hell is spelled almost the same, just with one L. I don't know. I'm ignorant to these matters, which is why one of the reasons why I'm really looking forward to h speaking with them, in addition to and in fact, of course, I really really like their music.

In the meantime, if you would like to join us on the program today, six ZO three two five ZO six ZO seven six three two five O six Z seven is the studio line. 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 zo three two five h six zero seven.

By the way, speaking of Dulcet Tones, I see Paully c is in the Facebook live chat. I'll tell you a moment what he says. We have for retro Spectrum Radio tonight. I'm really looking forward to this week's show. But of course Friday is my favorite day of the week. It's my long day here at WMNH and I do love it, so I do this show from four to six pm. Then we have granted State of Mind hosted by Rob as a Veto and Polly Stone. But then I'm back from eight to eleven PM tonight for retro Spectrum Radio with Pauly c.

I'm one of Paul's co hosts on that show, along with DJ Steve and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry, who not only one of our great sponsors here at WMH ninety five point three FM, but Mike is also one of our co hosts on retro Spectrum Radios. It's the four of us, five of us if you count the giant cardboard Peter Whitehead in the corner. And although he's very quiet, but we have a great time. And let me tell you what Paul has for tonight. And this is why I'm especially I always look forward to Fridays and hanging out on that show, but tonight's show I'm particularly intrigued by.

And here's what Paul put in the chat room. Retrospectrum Radio starts at eight pm Eastern tonight, original demo recordings of chart topping songs name that nine at nine and a surprise guest in the studio with us tonight. Oh, that will be a surprise. I don't even know who the surprise guest is. Do join us, listen live worldwide WMH radio dot org, and chat with us live on Facebook of course on the Retrospectrum Radio Facebook page. But yeah, I don't know who the surprise guest is, so that will be a surprise.

I enjoy the nine at nine even though DJ Steve usually crushes me, and I'm very intrigued to hear these original demo recordings. I love that kind of thing. It'll be really cool to hear the original demos of songs that were big hits. You know. Sometimes sometimes too, when you listen to a demo, it ends up sounding really different than what the final product turned out to be, which is which is fun. So that'll be fun. I'm really looking forward to tonight. Let's go ahead and say hello everybody in the fifth book laugh, chat hope.

Speaking of Mike from Queen City Cabinetry, I see him and there he says, hello everyone, Happy Friday. Happy Friday to you. Don't forget Queen City Cabinetry. You can bring your kitchen to life with Queen City Cabinetry, located of course and the historic Sunbeam Mall named for the vaunted General Sunbeam. And it looks like we have a call. Our friend Shannon is on the line. High Shannon and no, can you hear me? Yes, yes, I can. Good. I haven't talked to you this week? Right, I don't think so. There was a day, there was a day that you called when I could I could hear you just well enough to tell it was you, but you sounded really far away and the volume was extraordinarily low, and so we had to give up.

My phone waspped up, little bit. Oh well, I'm glad you haven't fixed Yeah, yes, um, excuse me, jeez, sorry, No, it's okay. Um, what was I gonna say, I did DJ Steve in the chat room or I haven't seen him in there yet? Why tell him? I said, hi, and Robbie o' two if he's there, and well they can they can hear you? Um, isn't granted? State of mind after you? And then policy retro Spectrum Radio? Yes, okay, Um, all right? Because uh they'll still be a mail right who whood? Because because Rob's not in town anymore.

He's he's out in the barn, right, Oh, Rob as a veto, Yes, he is in the barn. It's a punkat Pembroke City Limits. The knockers. Huh something about knockers? What that sounds like? It's oh, okay, I don't know where you were going with that fan. It's just it was from two and a half Men. Jake did it, okay, I don't know. And he was actually wearing the hat. It was the one where Stephen on the show. I saw that show maybe three or four times in my entire life, but not not that it was bad or anything. I don't watch a lot of television.

A few times I did see that show. I really liked it, very funny, very good writing, good cast. But I've i've only seen a few episodes. Yeah, I mean the Peter only ever talks about the Brady Bunch, you know, and it's like, you know, the Home. There is a lot of shows gone that would be nice to a lot of shows. I have to see if I can. They probably have something at the library where they have like a episode, you know, four episodes on one thing or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, they got the four episodes at the library.

Yeah. Yeah, you don't know until you call an ask. That's right. You should call and asks the library, Hey you got those four shows? Yes, six two four, six five five zero. M I'm writing it down. I'm gonna call to okay, is it yeah? Six two four six five Yeah, it sounds right to me. Yeah. So I think everyone should call the library and ask for some shows. Ask for some shows. It's yeah, yeah. The next dark The thing is they have weird hours too, the library. I can never huh. Yeah. But when they say, you know, Monday, Wednesday, Friday from this time to act time, Tuesdays and Thursdays at that time, and it just gets I have to call always to find out because it's just too confusing.

Let's be honest. Let's be honest. Shann and then call it what it is. It's pandemonium. It's pandemonium. Okay, I thought it was semporary loss, and no, it's pandemonium over there. It's it's an anarchy, I say, I love it. It's out of control. It is my favorite accent. If a fight breaks out, it's up here, six brawl. It's amazing what goes on over there? Oh and happy pile to say to you, I have no children, Shannon, thank you, thank you for thank you for reminding me I have no children. Thank you you have for children.

I have for children. Don't you have cats? Oh that's true, good point. Okay, and I have DJ reckless. Well, no, actually you're owned by your cat, so that's great. Well that that is very true, and cat owners will know exactly what you mean. That is true. Yes, yeah, I show I listened to the Pet show with Warren. Next time, he says, if you're a cat owner, you know you are owned by the cat. Well, of course, I mean think about it. They poop in a box and we clean it up. So yes, absolutely, that is true.

Mine doing it right now? He better. I'm going to see if I if I keep the litter lower, if they'll kick it out less far huh. You know, I mean four feet from the box, I'm stepping in litter. So, m that's not good. No, but it all depends on this mood. I guess. But I wanted to say hi, I tell you guys for for RETROSPECTIM because if I'd called, it wouldn't work. Right. Well, Paul doesn't usually take calls on that program. Once in a while he does.

Yeah, last week, didn't he say? Didn't he invite someone to join in? Or cup? No, it wasn't last week a few weeks ago, I think, so. Yeah, you know, it's funny whenever i'm if I look for something in here and I can't find I get it. I gault it like your top nine. Oh the yea nine at nine? Yes, yes, got it? Yes, Now you say it in a weird accent. I say it with an accent. Well, that's that's fine. I don't knowsh brogue. I don't. I don't ever do that. But I'm glad you do. Know you just laugh about dead people?

I do. I do. It's funny. Sorry, that's all right. Shalom Jenny. If you're in the chat, she must be in the chat room right most likely. I haven't seen her pop in yet, but she's probably. I'm sure she's listening. Even if she's not in the chat, she might be in transit. And I apologize. I don't even know what I coult into because I shut up all radio power so that you know I could do something else. You shut off all your radio power. Well, what if there's a civil emergency, Well then you could be about to die in a nuclear blast and not even know it.

Maybe that's better. Well, but yeah, I would suppose, yeah, I would guess so. But you know what's funny, no one ever says um like I I just knoked up some angen rings or whatever. Nobody ever says that anymore. Nobody says that anymore. I do. Well, you know, ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, there's just certain phrases we just don't find as amusing as we used to. But you know what, Yeah, well for you all change the phrases, and that's great, But yeah, no, I knoke things all the time in my microwave because that's what it used to be.

It was the saying long ago and far away, young ones. If you don't know, what's so much better than it was today? Or something. I don't know, Yes, long ago on Far Away, Yes, all right, Shannon, anything else on your mind? No? Not really? All right? Oh, what's the theme for tonight? On Retrospectrum? The theme for tonight is original demo recordings of popular songs of popular times songs songs. Yes, okay, original A recordings are popular songs, songs that you've probably heard. But the original demos, which I'm very excited about.

I'm really looking forward to tonight's show. Yeah, because especially like some sometimes you know, I listened all over the frequency thing there dial and there's another show that that'll have a sound with Garrett and it's Hello Lady m But it he takes just snippets of like, um, twenty seconds or whatever of a sound, or if it's really good, he'll play, you know, a little longer. There was one in Google of this if you want to hear it, um New York City tuba guy playing a tuba in an empty swimming pool.

It sounds awesome. I don't know, though, that very sounds very niche like or niche if you prefer like you've got to really like the tuba to want to hear that. What's niche? You are What does that even mean? It's very very specific. It's a narrowcasting through a very specific audience. You've got to really you've got to really appreciate the tuba to enjoy something like that. But I'm sure it sounds very interesting. Yeah, but it's not. It's not the two. It's not to enjoy an empty pool. Maybe that.

And he's playing it inside the empty pool. Yes, and the echo and the acoustics, it's just a beautiful sound. I'm sure it is. I might look that up. Yeah, and they also had the listen to the grape Vine or something about what what? How did that go from the grape vine? Yeah? The Marvin Gay song? Yes, they have that a cappella. Oh so that that's also on you can you can google that or whatever? Okay, is this it's something? It's something here. I'm writing all these down very good. Okay, do you read or you do not read?

I never learned to read, Shannon. I kind of have to fake my way through it. But let's not Please don't make fun of me. Adult illiteracy is no laughing matter. And see I hear you, I hear you chuckling. Yeah, Bruce, Bruce, he also laughs at me. He makes fun of me all the time. Okay, calls my cell phone. He calls my cell phone. He says, hey, Matt, h how does it feel too, I've never learned to read. And then he hangs up, and uh, we'll see how he thinks it feels when I pay him a little visit at the assisted living facility in Nashua.

We'll see what, you know. I'll give him something to read, if you know what I mean. Knuckle sandwich, Yeah, yeah, let's yeah, well not the sandwich, but an open face and you know whatever. How is he? I haven't heard. I haven't heard easy for a while. Easy he was on yesterday, did his entertainment report? Okay, see I didn't. I was. I wasn't listening. I was asleep. I've been up since one this morning. I don't listen every day, Shannon, every day or you miss important things. Yeah, I know, but I gotta get to sleep when I can, m unless I'm just a very um personified semambulist, personified samambulists.

Is that what he said? Yeah? And other words, I can I don't know samambulism. You know I do it? Well, I have no idea what that means. What does that mean? You don't know what semambulism is. No, I'd probably wouldn't know if I'd ever learned to read. But I'm sleep Oh okay, I was sleepwalking. Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't know that was the So that's the clinical term for it, semambulisten. The other two that I go for is inuriesus and like cantrapy uh and ursus sounds like something that I could look up on Urban dictionary dot com and find something horrifying, So I don't even want to know what that means.

Yeah, and like canthropy, what is it? Like canthropy? Why canthrapy? Like canthropy? Why can'trapy? Yeah? Yeah, I don't know what that means either. Where wolfism, I should have known that, I mean with my body hair. I really have no excuse for not knowing that term. But all right, well, very good, Shannon, all right, Well we've everybody tonight learned a lot here today. Yes, apparently we have a surprise guest now joining us in studio, but I have no idea who it is. Okay, one another number takedown real quick one eight hundred and four nine one for two zero zero with the Talking Book Library for some reason, you're the thing is with the commercial market CDs or whatever.

You can't speed it up and easily rewind it ten seconds or whatever. You know, if if I'm the slexic and I transpose numbers a lot too so, or if if somebody's too shaky to hold the book, whatever, if you just listen to some books and those narrators

they're not performing, they're narrating the book and they do a damn good job. All right, all right, Shannon, thank you for the call. All right, have a good weekend, all right, bye bye. All right, Well that was our friend Shannon, and we really learned a lot. I learned some new words. Six three two five six z seven. The studio line is open six zero three two five zero six zero seven. You know, one of my favorite words I've ever learned on the show was from John Hopwood. I always learned new words from John Hopwood, and I don't know why this one stands out in my mind, but the word was perambulate.

I think I'm pronouncing that correctly. Perambulate, which apparently means walking but in a specific manner. And uh, I just I do love to learn, so so thank you Shannon six three two five six seven six Zo three two five six seven. We'll finish saying hello everybody in the Facebook lave chat, and then I have some very special audio to share with you. A friend of ours was on the news recently. But we'll get to that little teaser for you there. Let's see. J Fed is in the Facebook lave chat from the great state of Vermont says good afternoon everyone.

Also Isaac Banks, who I'm pretty sure it is from Greensboro, North Carolina. Isaac Banks says good more. I'm sorry, good afternoon. Hashtag Matt good afternoon, fran Manis Sandridge, how are you doing. I love how our Facebook live chat brings people together whom I don't actually know. It's wonderful. Isaac Banks also said I love the song. Yes, Isaac A fan of the song that we opened with that was our Ravens Flight by the band Hell's Throne. Texas Mike is in the Facebook live chat and says Happy Friday.

Happy Friday to you, sir, Isaac Banks says. Mister Martineau Newse of the Spark said hello to you from them. While that makes sense, I mean Texas Mikey manages and produces new for us of the Spark. Of course,

Isaac also says, who is your guest today on your show? That is the band Hell's Throne coming up at five pm. Let's see. I just want to make sure we don't miss anybody in here. J Fed says, Matt's going to feed Bruce a sausage. Oh my goodness. All right, Oh, Melanie's apologizing in the chat room for no. No, no apologies needed, Melanie none. You do not have to apologize for what goes on in the Facebook live chat. All right, here's what I want to share with you. So this is actually from a couple of days ago, but we just haven't gotten to it.

DJ Reckless also known as Christian Lacos, but these days he's better known as DJ Reckless. He was on the news right here in Manchester channel nine wmu R. They were interviewing people about their thoughts about the Trump indictment and uh, DJ Reckless who U? And by the way, he so some of you may have already seen this. Of course it's been shared out on social media and h he's wearing his DJ Reckless hat good good product placement. So he does very well with that, and in on the video what he posts, he posted a video of the clip of from the news story of course that ran on Channel nine where they asked him about the Trump indictment, and he posted it as at DJ Reckless for president twenty twenty four and uh.

Now, of course he's too young to run for president because the minimum age constitutionally is thirty five. But he's uh. But his he does have a campaign slogan which he'll you know, he won't be able to use it in twenty four because he's too young, but perhaps in the future. And his campaign slogan is I may not be able to grow a mustache, but I can grow the economy. But I'm gonna play this is It's only seventeen seconds, but it's just a little bit of the audio from the story. And I'll share the video out too.

He's been sharing it out on social media. I'll share it out also. But here it is. This is DJ Reckless being asked the other night on Channel nine his thoughts on the Trump indictment. My opinion about him has always been negative. Some voters, like Christian Lacosts, have had their minds meet up about whether or not they'd vote for Donald Trump for a while now from January sixth, and now this like, when does it stop? You know what I mean, when do people actually realize that he's not a good person and he's not good for the country.

And that's it. I mean, obviously there's more to the story, but that was Christian's part. Now he by the way, so he shares that out and he got a lot of not so much just negative comments on social media, is supposed, but people actually dming him h telling, you know, calling him, you know, saying oh, you know you must uh you're a Biden support or this and that, and you know which, by the way, he's he's not. He he just doesn't like It's funny. We were talking about that the other night. That was a conversation in our living room about how if you don't like Trump, or if you have any criticism of Trump at all, people immediately assume that you know that you're totally on the other side and that you're you support the Democrats or you support Biden and whatnot.

And you know, Christians like, hey, I never said that, I just criticized Trump. That's it. But you know, we live in this polarized world. And I talked to on the show a lot about how people only Americans like to think about politics in a binary way. You know, everything's left right, liberal or conservative, red or blue and so on and so forth. So you have to be on you know, people just expect you to be all the way on one side or all the way on the other. And it's like, He's like, no, I you know, all these people are adding me direct messages telling me, you know, how much they hate me because I said something negative about Trump.

But it's like, but I never said I was a fan of Joe Biden either, But you know, but these are the times, the times that we live in. There's a new name in the Facebook live chat, Melissa gowern if I'm saying that correctly, which I'm sure that I'm not, But hello, Melissa, Welcome to the show. Jenny has entered the Facebook live chat and says shalom peeps. Hello. Also, Crystal, our friend from the great state of Illinois joins us. Crystal had mentioned in the chat room their governor there in Illinois, j D. Pritzker.

I think just they just passed a law banning the banning of books, which was very cool. Good to see. Let me give the studio line one more time and then we'll get into some stuff. Six three two five six seven six three two five six seven. And by the way, if you're just joining us, just to remind you, at the top of the hour, we have a musical guest today, the band Hell's Throw. We'll be skyping in from Germany, assuming that it all works out a technologically. Sometimes with these intercontinental skype calls, that can get a little dicey.

I say intercontinental, I don't want to say transcontinental because you know trans you know, some of my more conservative listeners might get upset. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's a joke. It's a joke. Relax, it's Friday, Come on, all right, we're just having some fun here. Let's see something interesting that happened on Fox News. So the other night Biden was giving some comments and Fox actually put on their chiron. And if you don't know what a chiron is, that's the you know, you see graphics at the bottom of the screen, that graphic that'll tell you some texts, that tells you what's happening, or tells you the name of the person who's speaking or oh hello to a Marian Banish who joins us in the chat, ram him Miriam.

So Fox has a history actually of getting a little creative with their kirroons, for example, and I've seen many examples over the years, but this one particularly stands out. This one goes all the way back to two thousand and seven, so it goes back aways, but it just it's permanently etched in my brain. After Barack Obama had announced his run for the presidency, there was an event where Michelle Obama was speaking and on Fox News. I don't know, it might be on YouTube, you might even be able to find it.

But Fox News, while Michelle Obama was on the screen, they put up a kirroon, not calling her Michelle Obama, but actually referring to her as Obama's baby mama. That's how they referred to Michelle Obama on the kirn. A friend of mine made an interesting observation at the time. He said, my friend Lee, who I used to do a podcast with back in the day, called give it a name. But Lee said at the time, he said, they do that because they're trying to ghetto wise them, which was his way of saying, you know, using a phrase like baby mama.

You know, it's a way of just kind of reminding everybody. Oh, by the way, the Obamas are black, just reminding you they're black. Ooh scary. That was the point of doing that, And you know, pretty disrespectful for a quote unquote news organization to put something like that on the kirn. That was right around the same time. By the way that the other thing is it might have even been the same day they Michelle Obama was introducing her husband at a campaign event and they did a fist pump when Michelle was leaving the podium and Barrock was walking up and they did a fist bump.

And Fox News was reporting that, and this you can definitely find on YouTube. Fox News was reporting that it was a terrorist fist bump, you know, because again, oh look, oh look, how scary they are. Oh, they must be terrorists. He has a funny name. Oh they must be secretly with al Qaida. Oh you know, so they refer to that. They actually reported that it was a terrorist fist bump. Just uh, you know, but that's uh, that's Fox News. Well um uh oh. Hello to our friend Rond de Favero, who joins us in the chat room from Uh, she says, watching from sunny California.

Yes, yes, Um, so here's here's a recent example. Uh this is from media. Fox News producer speaks out after resigning over Biden bashing h Chiron and uh oh actually we have a call here. We'll grab this and then we'll we'll go back, we'll circle back to what this individual put on the Kiron while uh President Biden was speaking. But Ron is on the line. High Ron, I met. Yeah, I'll be quick. I gotta run up Sin and get a cute tip and clean out my earths because I can't believe what you would just telling me about the thing that Fox said with Barack and missus Obama was like worth it.

I just can't believe. It does not make it sense. Uh well it's Fox News, it should make sense. But okay, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, all right, one last thing since you took you mentioned Paul Show tonight and it's um uh it's cuts or original cuts and stuff like that. Well I kind of related, but kind of not. Um. Two days ago, I saw something that was kind of cool. Um, with today's AI technology, they found some John Lennon lyrics and they can delete all the world. They can save all the words and delete all the music and then reproduce it.

And I thought that was pretty slick. Yeah, there's a lot of concern over well, there's a lot of concern about AI generally, but there's also a lot of concern about how AI will change how music has made, and that you might be able to take make hit songs just taking humans completely out of the equation. But I am somewhat familiar with what you're talking about ron that particular story, and yeah, that's interesting. I mean, you know, on the one hand, I can sit here and tell you I'm concerned about it, but at the same time, I'm also like, hmm, I want to hear what they come up with here.

I really want to hear this, you know, using AI to make that song. So you want to hear another AI story if I make it quick? Yes, absolutely. Five months ago, six months ago, I don't know when, but on sixty minutes they did a story about AI and how now that it's so advanced, they took him in, who volunteered while he was still alive, to sit in a chair in a studio and they asked him thousands of questions, and they asked him for the answer, and he was staying for as long as he could. He take a break when he needed to come back the next day with the same suit, and on and on and on and on, all the most basic simple questions you could think of.

And I forget who the guy was. But now that he's passed away with AI, they can they can produce an image of him sitting in the chair and you can actually ask him a question and with no pause, hesitation or anything, he produces the answer. It was like wicked, quicked cool. Yeah, that's wild. I mean you were Look, you know, the guy's long since ben ted, but you would think for sure you were talking to him just as I am to you, right right. Yeah, And again there's there's implications to that that we're gonna be grappling with in the years to come, that's for sure.

But but the technology is amazing. I mean it really is. Uh it's and it's all happening more quickly and sooner than I expected. All Right, I'm gonna let you go, but before I do, um, it's not actually AI. But I love it when m Polly reproduces you all laugh and Steves, you know, and the questions to the answers to questions. I get a key account of that. Ron, get out of that. Ron. I'll let you know a little secret. I hope Paul doesn't mind this pulling back the curtain a little bit, breaking the fourth wall, but he actually does use AI technology to do that.

Yeah, I wouldn't. I have to take your word on it. If you'll pull on my leg, I never know. I'm just kidding. Yeah, No, he's just house Yeah yeah, yeah, that's how gullible I am. All right, everybody did camp. You're good. Happy Father's Day all you people all doing the manchest up? All right, Ron, you too, thank you for the call. All right, bye bye, all right, wonderful that was our friend, Ron. That does open up the studio line for you if you'd like to chime in six zo three two five six seven six three two five six seven.

Maybe in the future Fox News will have their chirroon controlled by AI uh and then maybe this type of thing won't happen again, or maybe it will. But here's what happened. So the Fox News producer who aired the Joe Biden want to be Dictator graphic has spoken out about leaving the network. Alexander mccaskell posted a photo to his Instagram account showing him holding a cardboard box outside of Fox News offices.

He wrote, quote, today was my last day at Fox. It was a wild ten years and it was the best place I've ever worked because of the great people I met. But the time has come. I asked them to let me go, and they finally did. To all my friends there, I will miss you forever. Un controversial chiron appeared during a split screen Tuesday night after former President Donald Trump was arraigned on thirty seven federal accounts. Biden appeared on the left of the screen while Trump addressed his supporters in Bedminster on the right.

During the dueling speeches, the chiron read want to be Dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested. The chiron was taking down after only a few seconds, and Fox later issue I thought it was more than a few I thought it was up there for about a half minute from what I had read before, but I don't know. Fox later issued a statement quote that chiron was taken down immediately and was addressed unquote. Fox is not commented on McCaskill's Instagram post. McCaskill was the former managing editor for the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show before Fox abruptly fired Carlson and the show ended in late April.

McCaskill stayed on at APM and ran the controversial Chiron during Fox News Tonight, which has replaced Carlson's show. On his new show Tucker on Twitter, Carlson claimed that Fox fired McCaskill after the quote. Women who run the network panicked unquote, Carlson continued, again, this is from his show. First, they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen. Less than twenty four hours after that, he resigned. He'd been at Fox for more than a decade. He was considered one of the most capable people in the building.

He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately. Then the company issued a public apology for the twenty seven second long want to be dictator line quote. The chiron was taken down immediately, FOX'SPR department said, and then added ominously it was quote addressed. That was all true, but it was not enough to save Fox News from the ensuing scandal. By the way, I can understand why they would ask him to leave immediately, because obviously you can't trust the guy.

You know, you let him stay in another two weeks. You know, what else is he going to do with the chiron? You know? By the way, Isaac Banks in the chat room says, I do want to say my dad passed away in twenty ten. Hashtag Matt I do miss My dad is Michael Banks Senior from Greensboro, North Carolina. I had a feeling he was from Greensboro. I was sorry to hear that. By the way, I mean it was thirteen years ago, but my condolences. White House spokesperson Karin Jehan Pierre was asked about the Fox graphic during the press briefing and referenced the dominion settlement.

She said, quote, there was probably about seven hundred eighty seven million things that I can say about this that was wrong what we saw last night, But I don't think I'm going to get into it. Unquote, Well, you know what is she going to say about it? The Daily Beast reported that McCaskill quote features prominently in a toxic work environment lawsuit by former colleague unquote that was fired around the time of the dominion settlement. Abbie Grossberg, who produced for Maria Bartaromo and Tucker Carlson, claimed she was subjected to a hostile work environment.

Fox News responded to the suit by denying her claims. Quote. We will continue to vigorous defend Fox against miss Grossberg's unmeritorious legal claims, which are riddled with false accusations against Fox and our employees. Unquote. A Fox spokesperson said, there you go by the way, apparently, and I had forgotten about this. Let me find this quickly. We've been talking about and I'm sure we'll come back to this next week. During our Wednesday segment with Eric, because we like to talk about media, we were this past Wednesday, we were more focused on, you know, the Trump indictment, but unavoidable, you know, and I was very curious to hear his thoughts.

Haven't really gotten into it today because we've been talking about it all week, and again, unavoidable, huge story, but it's nice to kind of get into some other things. But I should mention too, if you're wondering no film review from Eric Pilcher again this week. He's got a lot going on. He talked on Wednesday night and he kind of explained to me what's happening. And he's just got a lot on his plate. He's fine, but he's got a lot on his plate. And he didn't owe me an explanation. He could have just told me, you know, mad, I'm just too busy.

I need a break. But um, you know I would have understood, of course, you know, but but he did. He did kind of explain to me some of the things going on. But you know, he's fine. But uh, and he said he'll have he'll have it next week. But um, you know, I told him, you know, take as much time as he need, you know, absolutely take as much time as he need. No worries. But um, what I do on our next Wednesday media media SEGMENTUM, I do want to talk to him about this. So Fox News apparently is issued a cease and desist order on Tucker Carlson because Tucker Carlson started his new show on Twitter and Fox News is trying to hold him to the non compete clause in his com tract.

So when Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News, he had a noncompete which means that you know, Okay, we're gonna keep paying you, We're gonna pay out your contract, but until your contract is actually up, until it has expired, you can't. You know, we're not gonna have you on anymore. You're fired, but we're gonna pay out the contract. But you cannot go and do a show somewhere else in the meantime. You can't. In other words, you can't go into a show somewhere else and directly compete with us. And they put that that's a standard thing in a contract like that, a non compete clause, So you can't just leave or get yourself fired.

I mean that part of it is so you know, if somebody wants to intentionally get themselves fired because they think they're going to go get a better deal somewhere else, you know, so they discourage that. So apparently, now because he went ahead and started this new show on Twitter, Fox has hit Tucker Carlson with a Ceason assist letter. Now, something that Eric and I had touched on briefly in the past when discussing this during one of our conversations about media was this was before Tucker had started his new show, but he had made the announcement that he was starting his new show.

What exactly is in that contract? Because yes, a non compete clause is standard, But is it an old school non compete clause which basically says you can't leave here until your contract is up and go start a show on another cable news network or another any kind of cable station. Did it not also include streaming or social media like Twitter? Because you know some people, I'm sure, I'm sure there's plenty of people in the broadcasting industry, and this probably lawyers who worked for companies like Fox Entertainment, lawyers who still are not fully adapting to this new paradigm.

And maybe this contract was written in a way that did not take into account things like streaming and only focused on broadcast. Crystal says in the chat, is the Internet the same as competing on cable tv? Though? I think it may come down to wording, right, Well, that's what I'm saying, Cristal. Depending on how the contract was worded

it, you know, it may have been worded in a way in other words, So Tucker Carlson and his legal team will probably say, if that theory holds, they'll probably say, look the way this is word. It is he can't go work for another cable news outlet, and he's not. He's doing his show on Twitter. This doesn't have anything about social media, doesn't have anything about streaming in it. And Fox News might see it differently. But let's look at this quickly because we are approaching the top of the hour. This is Fromtime dot Com.

Tucker Carlson hit with Ceason assist letter from Fox over Twitter series, says Fox News send Tucker Carlson a Ceason assists letter over his new Twitter series, Axios reported amid reports of a contract battle between the conservative network and its former primetime host. Carlson was ousted from Fox in late April, less than a week after Fox agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly eight hundred million to settle an explosive defamation case. The network provided no explanation for the firing.

They still haven't, but a wave of reports of damning text messages and other statements Carlson made during his time at Fox have since piled up, so meaning that theories have piled up since leaving Fox. Carlson kicked off a Tucker on Twitter series, arguing that Twitter was the only major remaining platform that allows free speech, as he denounced news media. The series, which has published two episodes so far, has appeared to escalate contract tensions between Carlson and Fox. Fox has demanded Carlson to stop posting videos to Twitter.

The New York Times also reported Monday as the networks lawyers accused Carlson of violating his contract, which runs until early twenty twenty five and restricts his ability to appear on other media outlets. Meanwhile, Carlson's lawyers have said the network breached the contract first. Okay, so that's the angle they're going with. Spokesperson for Fox News Media and attorneys representing Carlson, Brian Freedman. Friedman and her meet Dylan did not immediately return the ape's request for comments.

Dylan said in a statement sent to Axios and The New York Times quote doubling down on the most catastrophic programming and decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until the twenty twenty four election. Tucker will not be silenced by anyone. Before his April firing, Carlson was Fox's top rated host his stew of grievances in political theories. Well, okay, we all know that that's uh, that's basically it. The rest of it's just fluff. We all already know.

Um. But I guess so, I guess they're only argument his defense seems only argument is Fox reached the contract by firing him, so the contract is void. Is that what they're suggesting. I don't know. I mean, from what I understand, and I know a little bit about this stuff. From what I understand, these contracts are written so it doesn't matter if you're fired or if you're you quit or whatever. You you have a non compete clause. But I think, uh, I think Charles Richardson from Florida's on the line.

Hi, Charles, Hey, UM, I wanted to ask you a question. Is Twitter classified as a network? Do they classify Twitter? Because I mean, you can go on YouTube and there's channels on YouTube that I never hear anything about Twitter being a network, right. I was surprised when the announcement was made that he was going to be doing his show on Twitter. But but like I said, I'd be very curious to see how that contract is written, because you know, we live in a time where there are YouTube channels like the Young Turks for example, that actually draw larger audiences than any cable news show does.

So it's really that's on top of that too. On top of that, wouldn't you be I understand it would be a violation if he's going on and streaming and bashing Fox News. That's one thing, right piece is going on there and just going on and doing a regular show like he always has done, doesn't mention Fox News, doesn't bash anything. If he's doing it on his personal Twitter handle, where's you know, where's the controversy there? They can't I mean, unless he willingly signed something to take his freedom of speech rights away, they can't hold him down for him doing a show on his personal Twitter handle, Candy.

You know how they'll get him, I think assuming he's I assume he signed a big contract to do his show exclusively on Twitter. If he was just doing his show for free on Twitter himself, just basically doing a show and posting it on Twitter, that would be one thing. But if Twitter is paying him, I think that's where they're gonna get him. I think that's gonna be a problem. And by the way, it doesn't mention it in that story, Charles, but you might remember this. They actually Fox News actually sent technicians to Tucker Carlson's house and took back all of their equipment because they had just left him with all that stuff because he had two shows and he was doing he was the show that he was doing on their streaming platform what is I forget what it's called, the Fox Fox Nation.

I think he was doing that from home and he was just going to do the new show from home, and they actually sent guys to his house to take back all the equipment. Um, I think to discourage him from competing. Uh. This was after the announcement had been made, which I think is what delayed his new show on Twitter. So but again, if he's getting paid by Twitter to do this show, that that's where they're gonna get him. That's where they've probably got him dead to rights. But I'd like to see that contract.

That's that's that's that's a that's a booboo. And if they're going to say, well they reached it first, that doesn't still give you the right to preach it again. I mean, right, you gotta you gotta go ahead and avoid out that contract. But yeah, Fox is still paying him, and he's getting paid. But Twitter, you can't double down on it. I get that. Yeah, yeah, I mean even if, even if, even if I'm kind of curious, it's going to go. Yeah, I'm fascinated by this. You know, I love this kind of stuff. Anyway, so we shall see.

Alright, thanks, all right, Charles, appreciate the call. Bye bye. All right. That was Charles Richardson from the State of Florida. And we are approaching the top of the hour. So oh, Crystal said in the chat room, Fox set precedent by allowing Bill O'Reilly to have a podcast and Sirius Saddle on Sirius Satellite after he was fired. Interesting. That is a good point. But then again, we don't know. I mean, is there something different about Tucker Carlson's contract. I'd like to see both those contracts taking that into account.

But that is a good point, Crystal. We are approaching the top of the hour. Let's play another track from our musical, guest Hell's Throne. If all goes according to plan again, it can get a little dicey when it's coming from another continent, but they're gonna be skyping in at five pm, So let's go ahead and play another track from them, this great symphonic metal band from Germany called Hell's Throne. This is my favorite of the songs that they sent. So we're gonna play this one next and then hopefully we'll have them on Skype when we come back.

Now, actually, let me do this. We're gonna show some love to our sponsors first because it is so close to the of the hour, so we'll do that. We'll take a quick break so some love to our sponsors.

I was reading the other day it's like the worst allergy season ever in the Northeast with all the pollen.

My favorite thing is, if you know, if I'm in my car and I'm sitting at an intersection and I can just see these big puffy balls of pollen just floating into the car and ending up disrupting my sinuses inevitably. But yeah, so forgive me if I if I sound a little uh, you know, if I start wheezing uncontrollably, or if I suddenly start sneezing, although I rarely sneeze when I'm here. That usually happens in the morning when I first wake up. But Shannon is calling back. Hi, Shannon, Yes, him. I wanted to wish all the dads on the shows they're happy by this day.

My dad is is happy. He doesn't need anything, you know, and what he needs. He knows what he needs, so he goes and gets it. So he surfices with a card and I usually get I take him out to lunch, not during, not on Father's Day, but way after avoid the crowds, you know. So Uma, can I can I give a shout out to a couple of people? Sure, Um, who's that?

Who's the guy in Britain there that they called in that I said, my little um sitting there about riding the horse and the trees and the remember ray coats? Is that who that is? I think? So well, shout out to him. I don't know if he's a papa or not. Okay, Timmy Boom, saw a Shouerbis, Sean, the Boston Steama, Ozie, Paul all that bitches over there, Okay, I ask okay, And I hit the dump on that because it sounded like you said a bad word, although I'm not sure exactly what you were saying. No, it's not a bad word.

They say it on the radio. Yeah, we don't say it here, but it's it's it's uh, I don't know it's it's oh lah hello, la Okay, I just I thought I heard something else in there, all right, Shannon.

I mean, honestly, probably not a big deal, but uh, you know, I try to try to be very It's like I was saying the other day, it's been a long time since I've gotten myself in any trouble here, and I want to keep that street going. You know, I got my I got my old school radio shock chuck, uh impulses under control finally, you know. And uh so I don't. I don't want anything going out on the air that might be uh it's like that band I had on the other day, you know, Lady Chops and the g d jam.

Oh, I think our guest is here. Hello, welcome, all right, sorry to keep you waiting with some technical issues. That that is uh, that is okay, my friend uh I was. I was literally saying earlier on the show that whenever we have a guest skyping in from another continent, it never, uh, it never goes as smoothly as we'd like, because I don't know, Skype just doesn't always cooperate. And all you all you can do is keep trying and uh and and hopefully it eventually it works and there you go. Persistence wins.

Okay, all right, well we're we're on the air. So who am I? Who am I talking? Can to introduce yourselves? Please? Um, I guess you you star? I start? Okay, Um do you hear me? First question of cale, Yes, yes, I can hear you. I can hear you. Okay, okay, okay, great, okay. UM. My name is Julie. I M the female vocals of the band of His Strone and um, yeah, I'm completely all right. Okay. So it was all of a sudden right now, it has to It wasn't rush right, I'm so sorry. Just go on no, no, it's it's okay.

We keep it loose. We're just gonna have a loose conversation about the band and about the music and okay, So who else? Do we have? Anybody else? Okay? Um, I'm Christian, you can call me so okay, all right? Um yeah. I played the second guitar and yeah. I think the most impressive part is the growth vocals in his throne. Oh yeah, my part. Oh very cool. Yeah, I like that. I like that very much. Yeah all right, Uh anybody else? Yes? Um, my name, my name is Andreas. I'm the druma ron and one of the founders of the band.

Okay, um yeah yeah. I make the rhythm section behind these beautiful guys on the front row. Yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah. You're the one who sent me the email with the tracks, which I appreciate. I appreciate. Thank you, Andreas. Okay, do we have anybody else? Or is it just the three of you? Just three, just just you three? Okay? Very good, very good? Um. Yeah, I love the songs. I opened the show with um. I opened the show with Ravens Flight, and then I played At the top of the hour, I played Faded, which is my favorite.

I love that track. It's so catchy. Yeah? Yeah, is that is that kind of the single? Is that? Are you pushing that as a single because that sounds like a hit? Okay, oh no, that's not a single single. Ravels Slide was our first single okay the album okay, Um and Faded the cover song. I don't know you you know the original version of the song. It's a song in Europe and faded. Uh that was a cover version and it's usually the last song of a show of our live shows. Oh, okay, I didn't realize it was a cover.

Who was the original artist? Oh? I don't know what. It's a original and the song came out in two thousand and sixteen. Okay, okay, I hadn't heard. I hadn't heard that. I so I thought it was an original. Lot. It's a great track though, and I can see why you would close the show with it. Um. It's uh, it's very strong. Um do you have Uh? So when did these come out? Or these relatively new? Is is the album relatively new or has it been out for a while? Uh? The album came out in in December twenty twenty one.

Okay, yeah, it's maybe one and a half years old. Okay, okay, cool cool? Is it a full album? We called it the full album because full album starts at thirty one minutes,

and we have a little bit over thirty one minutes, so we called it the album. Okay. It's a six six s trek EP. Yeah. Yeah, Well the songs are long, so I can see how that would that would uh you know, span out over a half hour. So um, yeah, really really good. I love the I love the vocals. Uh, the both the lead vocals and the Growley part is really good. And it's very tasteful, the way you know that you've got the keyboard in there, and it's just really I really like that big sound, that symphonic rock sound.

Um. Is this um the album that these are from? Is this your first album? Do do you just have the one album so far? Yeah? Okay, it's our first album. Um yeah, so that's it's so far. Okay, Okay, do you have play? We already play more songs and we try and working hard on the new on new stuff because Juley is also new in the band. Oh um, so she's not on the first on these. On this first album, you hear our first single, um, which is Bacca and so yeah, we we try to be fast to release the next one to you on track.

Okay, okay, very good. Um, Julie, do you write the lyrics or who writes the lyrics? Um? That I'm writing these, it's it's kind of of parts parts because the the last album, of course, I didn't really write the lyrics, okay, but the newer songs, UM, it's where I can be a little bit more creative. Some some songs I had to change a little bit, but just of because of the melody. The lyrics were the same, but the newer songs that are coming up are with a little bit influence of mine. Okay, okay, very good.

Um. Now, uh, what is the what do you choose for subject matter in terms of lyrics? Are you going for anything specific? Are you going for kind of a dark vibe or because I you know, the the lyrics are interesting in it, but I don't know. Sometimes with a band that's working in your genre, there's a theme, you know, like not necessarily a concept album, but sometimes there is a certain theme that that runs through a lot of the songs. What is the approach with the lyrics for your music or or or do you just write whatever whatever strikes you.

No. Um, it has a theme, but it's not a concept album. We wrote about the Norse mythology. Oh okay, the Norse gods especially especially. You can see it in an all bent name Hel the goddess, goddess of the underworld, and the Norse mythology. Okay, that's that's all key point and the lyrics, and I think we go on with it. I would. Yeah, I was going to ask you about the name actually, so that so so I think I'm saying it wrong. Man. So it's it's not hell, It's it's hell hell hell hell hell Okay, Oh gotcha, Okay, I've been saying it wrong.

I just thought it was a different way to spell, to spell. Help. Well, good, I'm learning, okay. So it's hell, okay, very very cool, very cool. Yeah. I don't know much about that subject. The only one who thought that, really I could imagine. Yeah, does um, I'm curious. Do you ever see your name spelled wrong anywhere on a on a flyer for a show or anything like that where they put in a second L because they don't know. Does that ever happen? Yes? Of course. Last time we played in Hamburg, and their dad was spelled wrong on all the shows.

Oh no, that has to be frustrating. Yeah. I had talked to the people and I said, yeah, that's that's night where where we play oh black metal set. So it's okay, there you go. Sometimes you just have to adapt. Um, do you play a lot of shows? Do you do much touring? This year? We do a lot of shows. We finished uh Germany to to throughout Germany with Cromatory. I don't know if you know the band, it's the name is familiar. Yeah, it's UM goth metal pioneers in Germany and across Europe and um we played the whole whole tour from from April until end of May.

Oh cool, wow, good good? Is that Is that the longest tour that you've been on so far? Yeah, that's the longest tour. Okay. Um with this project, when you when you play, is there a lot of theatrics? Did you have stage effects or do you keep it simple or because this kind of music, obviously it's got a theatrical vibe, so I would imagine there's a lot you could do with that visually. But do you or do you do you just kind of keep it simple. Um. I guess it depends on where where we play and when we play on tour.

It's not easy to take all the stuff with us. Sure, yeah, so most of the show is just USUM, especially U looking a little bit more like Hall, which is half death, half a life in contact lences and so right right, yeah, I can I can see on the website yeah, and on the own shows we have led in the background, fire lights everything. Oh cool, cool, very very good, very good. Um. So, now do you have any idea when you might have a new album. I mean, I'm sure you've you've got lots of ideas, and you've written some songs, but you seem to allude to earlier.

But any idea when you might when you might be doing that or going back into the studio, or maybe you already are. I don't know. Yeah. We we plan to go UM at the beginning of next year in the studio, okay, And it depends if we find UM a great label to release it. Yeah. Yeah, that that depends on how much we will tour again. Yeah right right, yeah, well yeah, I mean if you're if you're too busy touring to make a record, that's actually a good problem. To have, so of course, yeah, so not a not a bad thing, but but you know, I do look forward to hearing more music from you in the future.

Well, um, listen, we won't we won't keep you. But I'm gonna play another track as soon as we hang up. I'm gonna play a ghost of Yesterday. This is another epic song that I absolutely love. But but I appreciate the three of you joining us and anything you want our listeners to know about. How to find you online so people know to keep up with what you're doing, how to get your music or anybody listening and over where you are. You know, we have listeners all over thanks to the Internet. The Internet makes that all possible.

So what should what should our listeners know about social media? Anything like that?

Um, I think on social media it's easy because we only use Facebook and Instagram, okay, um up until now, I don't know if TikTok is the red platform for us.

By the way, the song you just heard was Ghost of Yesterday from the band Heel's Throne, now that I know how to say it correctly, all the way from Germany, and it was wonderful to speak with them via Skype there. I love their sound. They're a really good band. We're gonna play one more track at the end of the show, a song called Mistress of Eternity, So that'll be coming up at the end of today's program. But I will remind you today is Friday. You probably don't need to be reminded of that, but I will remind you what that means here at WMNH.

Coming up immediately after this show, we have granted State of Mind, hosted by Rob as Vito and Paul Stone and then I am back tonight eight to eleven pm for Retro Spectrum Radio with Paul C. I'm one of Paul's co hosts on that show along with d J, Steve and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry. So we have a great time and I'm excited for tonight's show. The subject is demo versions of original songs of popular songs. I should say popular songs that you know and well, i'd say that you know and love, but some of them you might not love, but you know them certainly you've heard them most likely, and we're gonna get here the demo versions of those tonight on the show.

So I'm really excited. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. We have a great time Friday nights on Retro Spectrum Radio. By the way, Don't forget Too are amazing sponsor the Hopknot. They've got those delicious scourmet pretzels, they have an ever growing assortment of craft beer. They've got live music every Saturday night. I'm not sure who's planned there actually tomorrow night. I gotta get an updated list from Kenny. But whoever it is, I'm sure it's somebody really good. They've got a lot of great talent in there.

So there you go. Lots going on. Let's look at the Facebook live chat to some comments in there, and then we've got something just popped up on media that I think we should look at before we run out of time on today's program. But we'll take a peek in here on in the chat room, Abort seven joins us, So I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure Aboard seven is from Greensboro, North Carolina. Abort seven says we are going to be sing dance doing our first time ever is City Center Park, downtown Greensboro karaoke until July.

Oh, very exciting, we say, true hashtag matt oh HT. We say, who are your influences of recording artists? Oh? I think that was for HT. That was for Heels thrown up. Sorry, Aboard seven, I didn't see that while they were still on a skype with us. Aboord seven also says we will be having people to support us, to have people chat. Well, very nice. Now, Melanie law Liberty from the Great State of Vermont gave some insight into who Heel is because I don't know much about Nordic or Norse or you know this.

Uh, these mythical beings, I don't know much about that. I must tell you, I'm not up on that. So Melanie says a heel apparently is Loki's daughter. I think either with a giantist or a horse. I forget. Oh there was something, oh, she said. I'm pretty sure it was a giantist. They also had a son that was a gigantic snake that was sent to U, sent to the sea to circle the Earth somehow ties into the equator. Oh, we had a band on ones called circle the Earth. A giant snake that had a gigantic snake. See.

That's one of the reasons, By the way, I never wanted children of my own, because what if the kid comes out and it's not human, it's a gigantic snake. I mean, I'd be freaked out. I really would be. I can just imagine being in the delivery room and expecting a kid to pop out and it's a gigantic snake. I'd be like, WHOA, what's going on here? How did this happen? I can't believe it. I can't believe I helped create that. That's crazy. Uh, it just seems like there's a lot that can go wrong, but we have a call.

Hi, welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Who is this? Hey, Matt Conton's Oda Banks. Isaac Banks from Greensboro, North Carolina. How are you? That's right? And also I'm good friends of that group Aboard seven that you that you saw that you saw yea, and they're just gonna you know, perform and sing for the first time after at the Tennessee Park downtown at Greensboro. Well, very exciting. Yeah. And plus you know, um for me, I have a solo project coming up. You know it's Isaac I can in Banks Matt Conton really yep, so you look it up and also paused, I did?

I did videos too? Oh well oh okay, well send me a link that's want to say, good show. And also I'll be um those guys who are del minus spy. We're watching the retro spetroom with police. Oh very good, very good. We'll see you in the chat room. All right, take it easy, all right, thank you, all right, bye bye? All right. That was Isaac Banks from Greensboro, North Carolina. Very nice, very nice. Oh by the way, so Melanie says in the chat room. That's why the gods were forbidden to procreate. Weird stuff happens.

See I didn't know that. Well, that would be a good reason to not allow them to procreate. I mean, I've heard of weird stuff happening, you know, like in the South. But you know, when you let the Nordic or Norse whatever god's procreate, apparently gets really bad. I mean, can you imagine a gigantic snake? Now, I'll tell you I'd be thinking parenthood pretty quickly at that point. Let's see six three two five six seven is the studio line six three two five six seven, and we do have a call. Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed.

Who's this I'm a scary hey Gary? That uh, that group was excellent. I like that really high pushing metal like that. Yeah, yeah, I do too, I do too. Sounds great. Just yeah, and the girls. The girl's voice was excellent in that, Julie. Yes, I could just picture Melanie riding her black stallion, running through with her you know, her giant sword, you know, colleging the neighborhood. You know, so you have a fantasy about Melanie riding a black stallion with a big sword purging the neighborhood. No, I know, I know what she means by the Norse the Norse things I school.

Oh oh right, right, yes, can you imagine having a giant snakes? Yeah? That was. Do you have do you have children? Just a couple of music things? Um? Yes, Carlos, Carlos ten is um documentary or whatever on him. He's it's coming out July. Okay, it's gonna be Uh, it's gonna be his life, his life thing, you know, his life story and stuff like that. Yeah, and uh, I gotta I gotta lame. I gotta lame trivia question for you. Okay, well a lam trivia stupid thing. You'll probably get it right away, but it's kind of lame.

Okay. In the nineteen seventies, what was the what was the first band to uh get inter um inter universe status? You know, huh, I don't understand the question was the first kind of what what bands? Okay?

They um that were um they went you know, into the into Europe and everything from here. Oh, I thought you said inter universe national status, international status. Okay, Okay, there was three bands in the nineteen seventies. Who was the first Okay, one of them is Kiss, the other is Aero Smith, and the other one is Queen. Okay, which which one? Oh? Which? Oh Queen yeah, m because they were the first to bring their their music here and after a while Kiss went over to international status and aero Smith, you know, they just got on a plane, didn't know where they were, and then they landed in Europe someplace and sang so okay.

Now, speaking of Aerosmith, so do you think in the uh, in the song sweet Emotion, the lyric can't catch Me because the rabbit dun died, do you think, uh, Steven Tyler, he was running away because he was afraid that the that the girl was going to give birth to a gigantic snake, probably because it was that it was that young girlity Jeffy who's going out with? Yes, yes, exactly. It's a cautionary tale. Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, I believe, Yeah, I believe that. Yes, yes, oh yeah. He was he was quite that.

He was quite the person Melanie wants you to know. Melanie says in the chat room, Hey, tell Gary, there is a town in Vermont called Hell's Kingdom. Yeah I know, oh all right, I know pretty much them. Oh you okay, and I will tell tell her that. Well, if she's listening, she can hear you. You know, the guys that go and the pickers, they go into people's barns and stuff and they take stuff out. Have you ever seen that show? I've heard of it. They're coming a Vermont again. I've heard of it. I've never actually watched it because it sounds painfully, but you should watch it.

I think i'd hate it, but I really great stuff. Yeah no, but uh yeah, but I am aware of the show. Yes, And and they what they travel around, I'm going to see it. They found some I don't need to what somebody's barn. Don't need to see it. And they found a homeless of musical instruments. Oh oh okay, Well guy says, well, I didn't know, you know. And and they took them all out and there was so much stuff. It's just really amazing. It's it's a good stuff. You know, it's a good show to watch. But yeah, tell her they're coming to from what so you gotta be care get up and they only want antiques now, so I'll tell her get out of antiques and stuff.

You know, you gotta be careful going into somebody's barn. You can encounter a gigantic snake. Well that's true, yeah, or the or the t or the giant woman or a giant woman. Well you're a giant woman. And and and Vermont. They live in the they live up you know, in the in the northern part. Okay, that's what happens when you go.

Very good, very good. Well that does open up the line for you. Six three two five six seven six zho three two five six seven um.

By the way, yeah, Melanie did say in the tray, M. Yeah, I'm in northern Vermont. Things get squirreling. Oh by the way too, Crystal had said something earlier, UM, regarding our conversation about UM Tucker Carlson and uh, if you're just joining us, we I mean, I'm not gonna go back through the whole thing. But um, Tucker Carlson has been served a ceasent or scent I guess you you serve a subpoena, you send a ceason assist letter. But Tucker Carlson has received a cease and assist from Fox News regarding his new show on Twitter, and UM, Crystal had said something about, well, you know, she brought up Bill O'Reilly Um and uh, uh, you know, after it's firing, you know, doing a podcast and being on serious and whatnot.

But UM, a couple other examples, so she brought up Crystal brought up Megan Kelly. You said, when Megan Kelly was fired from Fox, she was able to go right to NBC. Megan Kelly wasn't fired from what I remember her, her contract was up and h and there was a bit of a bidding war and NBC basically back to brinkstruck up to her house, which they probably regret now in hindsight because she didn't last at NBC. But uh, but yeah, she wasn't. She wasn't fired from Fox unless I'm confused about some details there, but I think her contract was up.

My dad is on the line. Hello, Hey, Maddie and team. I just wanted to check in with you briefly. I know it's it's running late. I did hear most of Gary's call. Yes, I think he's giving you a good quiz there, I do. It was Queen, but he could have thrown me on others, that's for sure. So it just I wanted to ask you. I wasn't gonna ask you this on the radio, but I know you've got the big show tonight with Paul, and I wondered if you could research something years ago. I can see it like it was yesterday, Matt.

I was in basic training at Great Lakes, Illinois, and one of the great songs of that time was Luke Christie's song Lightning Striking Again. Do you remember that at all? Striking Again? It just meant a great You got it, Matt, It's an internally great song. Well, there's someone in the indie world a lead singer who does that song in a funny way. He does a lot of funny stuff and he uses the falsetto like so wonderfully. Well, and if you can research that for me, if you know who that is, I'd love to get that.

Yeah. He I mean when he does the lightning striking thing, you know, it's like pure falsetto and it's great. You know, he's he's obviously using in a little humor there, but it's really wonderful. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Father's Day. I wanted to acknowledge also Jenny's sending that tape of Miss Goldberg. I think it was yesterday. Yeah, that was. That was terrific. You know, as a constitutional conservative, I think sometimes we're misunderstood then. You know, there are different people who are conservatives with different views.

But that was. That was excellent. You know, And and I won't go into it, but you know the story that I have when I was in the Navy and we helped a certain individual out and we wrote a letter to the Navy subsequently saying they needed to change their policies, and they said, basically shut up on that one but we won the first one. So um, I wanted to say two. Um, memories are so important on Father's Day and on Mother's Day of course, and in general, self soothing, self information in our memories.

And we're gonna have some bad ones too. We gotta cope with it. But um, so I remember too. One was when you were very small, Matt. You were like three year years old, and we were visiting at my mom and dad's house on the seacoast, and uh, we've been playing around. I forget what we're doing, playing kickball or something, but uh, I was still hoping you would love sports. So so you were tired and we were watching the news, I remember, and you, like a little boy or girl would do you know? At three coming you came into my laugh.

You hugged me and you snuggled in and you went to sleep. And I remember my mother coming down. I think she was doing some housekeeping up the States. She came down and she said, oh, what a father you are. You know, it's kind of kidding me. And then when you you would eventually wake up, you called me something. It wasn't dad, it wasn't father. In those days, do you remember what you called me? Papa. Yeah, that was it, and everybody got a bit. It was from the heart and everybody getting a big kick out of that.

Then there's another memory I'm not going to go into. Um I think you may have mentioned it before, but it has to do with a similar story that Bill O'Reilly has in one of his books where he was a lifeguard when he was very young and a swim instructor, like your dad's been a swim coach for years. But anyway, so we share that. So he's walking around this pool in Long Island and this is way back when, I mean he's probably twenty years old at the time, and he notices at the end of the pool there's this little boy who turns out to be five years old at the bottom of the pool, you know, just looking up.

And so of course Bill Riley jumps in and saves them and he was fine, you know, And then the story doesn't end up because years later when he was you know, Riley is just prolific with his writing, whether you agree with them or not. I agree with them a lot of things, not everything. So anyway, he was he was doing a book signing and this gentleman came over who was then in his early thirties, o'reley writes and he says, he said he got the signing for the and he said, you saved my life and that was the kid Matt.

Oh, wow, isn't isn't that a great story? Yeah? Now there's a similar story that I share with Bill O'Reilly and I'm honored. I wish I could have a few of his bucks for that's another story. I'm associate were as I don't see a lot of money. But anyway, so um help as well, help as well. So there was a similar story between you and me, and I'm not going to go into it, but if you want to share it later. That's five you know, the one, you know, the one I mean I think, don't you Yeah, Sanford Standford Mayn I almost drowned.

Yeah, And it was similar because it was like, you know, I was right there. I would never see that's a difference between me and I'm not I say this with you middle with the other between me and my mom and dad. That's another story. But I would never take my eyes off of you, Lindsay or you know what I mean. Yeah, of course, of course, nor do I believe in corporal punishment. You know, it's so funny, man. I heard that parathetically. I heard that because I couldn't listen to the whole program. But I heard when you said I was never Spain.

Yeah. Yeah, so that's so good. So anyway else, I'll stop there, Matt, and Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, and of course happy Mother's Day again to all the moms. Well, happy happy father's Happy Father's Day to you. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Of course we disagree on some things, but I appreciate all you do. God, blish you, thank you, take care. All right, all right, I love you, bye bye, thank you, bye bye. Now all right, very nice. Well that was my dad, Martin Connerton, and I'm glad he called very appropriate.

Uh as we as we wrap up the week here on Matt Connerton unleashed because it is Father's Day on Sunday, And uh yeah, but yes, that is true. I remember it vividly. I remember sinking to the bottom of the lake. But I knew as I was sinking I saw him. I was on this flotation thing and I had slipped off. It was dumb and I hadn't learned how to swim yet. I didn't learn how to swim until I was a teenager for some reason. But but I remember as I as I was starting to sink, right before my head went under the water, I saw my dad on the shore diving in, so I knew he was coming to get me.

So I don't remember being afraid. I remember sinking to the bottom and just kind of looking up and waiting for him because I knew he was. I knew he was coming, and he my dad's an excellent swimmer. When I was a kid, we'd go to the ocean and he would he'd he'd swim like it. Actually used to scare me a little bit. He'd swim way out there and then he'd come back, and you know, he always came back obviously. But I'm I'm, I'm a good swimmer, but my dad's a phenomenal swimmer. He could do that. But anyway, we are out of time, and as promise, I'm gonna finish off with This song is called Mistress of Eternity, another great track from Heel's Throne.

Thank you again to them joining me, Thank you everyone who called in today and everybody in the chat room. And happy Father's Day if you are listening live on Friday. Of course, coming up next, we have granted State of Mind with Rob as a Veto and Paul Stone. And then I'm back tonight eight to eleven pm for Retro Spectrum Radio with Paul ec along with DJ Steve and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry.
