Field Dispatch
Matt Connarton Unleashed 6-28-23
Game Plan
Hello, everybody, Welcome, here we go. It is that time again,
Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m HIM
and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, also on Comcast ninety seven. If
you're in Manchester and hello to Oliver our online listeners across the nation and around
the globe. You can go to my website Matt Connerton dot com for oli
her live streaming options, social media links, contact info, show archives,
etc. Etc. Today is Wednesday, June twenty eight, twenty twenty three.
By the way, I am happy to report that Jenny has made at
home safely from Washington, d C. If you've been paying attention, there's
been a lot of travel issues amongst the airlines, and it looks like it's
going to be a rough uh. If you're if you're traveling, if you're
if you've already got your flights booked and everything for the fourth of July weekend
coming up, I uh, I wish you my best because they're expecting a
lot of problems. But there are a lot of problems right now. And
in fact, Jenny was supposed to be back last night and her flight was
canceled, and then first it was delayed, then it was canceled, and
then she was able to get a flight up this morning. So she's back
all as well. But at one point it was looking like she wasn't going
to be able to get out of there until Friday, and so she's lucky.
But people's action was the organization she was there with, they were able
to, you know, to help her, of course, a problem solve
and you know, and get back. But she said, yeah, there
were people there who were There were people in the airport in DC who were
looking at possibly not being able to leave until Friday, and they were trying
to leave yesterday. Just incredible. What's going on. So apparently a big
part of the problem is a lack of air traffic controllers. There's a real
shortage of those folks, and they're kind of important to the process of air
travel. But I've always said too about the airlines themselves, that with the
possible exception of consumer banking, you'd be hard pressed to find an industry less
interested and committed to a positive customer experience than the airline industry. Don't get
me wrong, I'm sure there's plenty of good people in the airline industry who
are doing the best that they can. And I certainly have a lot of
sympathy for the flight attendants who over the course of the pandemic, when it
became when it became fashionable for anti maskers to violently assault flight attendants on airplanes
twenty thousand feet in the air, that became like the cool thing to do.
But that seems to have settled down. But there are a lot of
problems right now in terms of air travel. So I was very happy that
Jenny was able to get a flight for this morning. So there you go.
We've got a great show for you coming up in just a few minutes.
We're gonna be joined a via phone. I assume via phone, although
sometimes he joins us via Skype. I should have Skype ready just in case.

well, and we're gonna get We're gonna get a sewn on by himself and

Hop Knot right across the street at one thousand Elm Street. They've got those
delicious scoremet pretzels if an assortment of craft beer. And it is Wednesday,
which means tonight is industry night at the Hop Knot. Did I remember to
say the date? Abbles feel like I forgot It's Wednesday, June twenty eight.
Well maybe I did say it. I'm not sure. Now I've been
kind of changing it up lately in the in terms of the order in which
I say things at the top of the show. Just freshen it up,
you know, a little rearranging. But yeah, the hop Knot tonight's Industry
Night and this weekend Saturday night, July first. The musical guest at the
hop Knot is Ali Boudry. She'll be performing I think seven to nine pm
on Saturday. She was here recently. She was another great musical guest.

Go back and check that out if you missed it. I think you'll
like it. But she will be at the Hopknot this weekend. We'll say
hello to everybody in the Facebook live chat. I wonder if Facebook is being
glitchy because it's it's unusually sparse in there. This is really unusual. I
wonder if there's some people trying to get in who can't for some reason.
But you know, Facebook is Facebook. What are you gonna do? What
do you want for free? Right? Mike from Queen City Cabinetry joins us
in the Facebook live chat. Queen City Cabinetry not only one of our great

I had some personal things going on, but I'm doing better. Yes,
yes, I see you're You're also in the chat room as well as Mike
from Queen City Cabinetry and Texas. Mike joins us in the chat as well
and says good afternoon. And because Eric is on Skype, that means the
studio line is open. So if at any point during our conversation you would
like to join us in chime in, you can at six zo three two
five six seven six three two five six seven Um sou. By the way,
Eric, I want to uh, I just want you to know.
Just be aware that our our conversation today is being recorded. So if I
if I h you know, in case I should happen to pull out a
secret document. Now I have a piece of paper right here, but I
can't tell you what's on it. It's a secret, but I might wave
it around. Do you hear the rustling of the paper That might come back
to bite me later. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Um, Matt,
if it's declassified and you share it, you if it's classified and you
share it, you can't declassify it after the fact, right, I could
have actually declassified this at one time, but I didn't. Oops. Well
just blame Hillary, that's right, that's right, Hillary. But our emails,
yes, and be emails, because that that is what's wrong with America
right now, something that happened seven years five, seven years ago. Yeah,
yeah, well, uh you did mention now during our exchange on messenger,
you did say that there was something specific I was it? Was it
that that you were interested in discussing as Uh oh, yeah, I am
completely Yeah, I guess I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked at the complete
arrogance shown in that recording. Yeah, I guess I'm more shocked and how
how ignorant your arrogance made you. One You're sitting there with someone who's a
member of the media, so nothing is off the record. You're sitting there
with a group with people who I would guess don't have clarence to even be
around classified documents, and you're waiving them around. Yes, yes, and
and let's let's not in these were actually like and there are some classified documents
that it's like, why is that classified? Still? Oh? Sure,
yeah, absolutely that a lot of people in the intelligence community, and fairness
to acknowledge that that there's there's over classification and uh and and things that,
uh well I heard some echo there and things that were classified at one time
that could probably be declassified now and so forth. But but that doesn't excuse
anything. This was like secrets on a plan. We had to let me
see if I can pull up the article, Matt, sure, sure,
yeah, And I found it. Yes, I got the text from TMZ.
Yeah, so, and immediately I sent it to you. And we
can't repeat what I said on air, right right, Um, well,
we knew, I mean, it wasn't a complete surprise because we knew there
was a recording. There had already been a transcript, least a partial transcript
of the recording that the media had, but then to hear the actual recording,
Um, and yes, yeah, go ahead here, Sorry to interrupt,
Matt. It soon devolved into a conversation about a secret plan against Iran.
I ran in that I'm not saying Iran as in the statement I ran
this morning. I am saying I ran as in the country, as in
the country that has nuclear weapons pointed righting at us. This was a secret
plan against them drawn up by Defense Department General Mark Miley. Uh, yeah,
General Milly. Yes, Uh what was that? I apologize? Oh
that's okay, Yes, yes, Miley. You're thinking of Miley Cyrus.
She has nothing to do with this. Um, she has some documents.
Maybe she's the only Miley I could think of. Yeah. No, General
Milly, with whom Trump has been at odds. And I assume that the
reason this document exists, as this goes back to And by the way,
at the time, I did give Trump credit for this. We were about
to I forget exactly what the context was, but in retaliation for something,
we were about to actually directly attack Iran, and Trump at the last minute
called it off and said, no, the response that we have planned would
not be reciprocal with what our grievance is, and we should not do this.
And I gave him credit at the time because I said, that's good,
because that is a potential flashpoint in my view for possibly World War three.
And so I think attacking Iran would have been a horrendous error. And
Trump seemed to be the cooler head in that scenario. So I assume that
the document in question here relates to that. But I don't know. Is
the cooler head, as I said, might need to re evacuate things.
Well, he was the cooler head in terms of calling off the attack,
is what I mean. Okay, I'll get I'll give him credit for I
try to give you know, I try to give Trump credit where I can,
you know, to fend off the accusations of Trump de arrangement syndrome.
Right, I mean, but here here, this isn't derangement syndrome. And
I'm sure there are conservatives out there that are gonna say I'm not a conservative
anymore, or heaven forbid, I go a flying spaghetti monster of conservatism that
is Donald Trump. Right, But I must say this right now to all
you conservatives that have that opinion of me spoiler alert, I don't care.
I don't care. I actually love it because because you know what, at
the end of the day, you're still talking about me, and you're still
listening to me, and you're still listening to me on WMNA Tradio on Matt
Connerton Unleashed every Wednesday at three so guess what you're My haters are your number
one fans. Thank you? There you go. Yes, yes. By
the way, we should clarify for anyone who's confused, Eric said three o'clock
because he's in the Central Lot time zone or o'clock Eastern. Yes, yes,
yes, um um so so yeah. I look, I'm a conservative
in the sense that I that I believe strongly in American values. I believe,
I don't care. We have a we have a derangement syndrome going on
right now, and it is not Trump derangement syndrome. It is political party
derangement syndrome. We sit here and we antiquate right and wrong based on political
affiliation. If you're if you're a Republican, what the Republicans do is all
right, and what the Democrats do is all wrong. If you're a Democrat,
you look at it and say, oh, the Democrats do everything right
and the Republicans can do no right. Yeah. I actually have a term
for that, Eric. By the way, I haven't said this on the
show in a long time, but I call it pig partisan ideological group think.
I love that. Yes, I'm stealing that. Yes, please please,
by all means, and it's ridiculous because it blinds you to what is
going wrong in our country. Wrong is wrong. Wrong does not have a
political party. Um, wrong does not have a political party. If if
Joe Biden had classified documents in his garage, he should be punished as much
as Donald Trump for having classified documents in a shoebox and Mara Lago, Well,
I have to I have to disagree with you there. I think that's
a punished as much. I think that's a false equivalence, Eric, because
um, one one involves obstruction of justice and the other seemingly does not.
One of them. I mean, they're they're not exactly the same situation.
Just looking at it as a classified document situation, Okay, okay, sure,
taking the obstruction out of it and just yeah, no, right obstruction
out of it, right right? Party does not matter. Like did Hillary
Clinton do wrong sending emails on an unsecure server? Yes she did, Okay,
Yes that was wrong. But I don't think it's wrong because she was
a Democrat or because I have some deep seated hatred for the Clintons. Right,
it's wrong because it's wrong in America. We have to get back to
that point. Oh, I agree, I although I don't think we were
ever there. I mean, I think it's worse than ever now because of
Trump, because the Republican Party has become such a cult of personality that revolves
around Trump. But I but I don't think I think people I mean,
at least for as long as I can remember, I think people have always
looked at things politically through a partisan lens, unfortunately, and in a very
binary way where everything is left or right, you know, liberal or conservative,
right or wrong, without really thinking about it much deeper than that.
To be honest with you, I think that's always been with us. But
I do think it's worse than it's ever been. It's worse. It's like,
it's almost as bad as that movie Mean Girls. It's just so abhorrently
cliquish and we can't get past that. Oh yeah, it's quite disturbing.
Yeah. Trump is like the Uh, it's been a long time since I've
watched Mean Girls. But watched Mean Girls. I will go on the record
and say I never watched that. Oh okay, I've seen it, but
a long time ago, but never be reviewed for classics. But yeah,
Trump, Trump is like the captain of the football team and uh, you
know, and you have to like whoever he says to like, and not
like whoever he says not to like. By the way, we have a
question for Eric in the chat room. Uh Hue, the gecko who's going
to be with us in studio on Friday. He says, Eric, who
is a conservative politician, you would like to see Republicans back. That's a
very good question. I think all the listeners that have listened to my segments
over the last couple of weeks and follow me on Facebook know who I'm backing.
I want the Republicans to rally behind Chris Christie. But I would I
would argue though, and you can probably predict that I would bring this up
that from my vantage point, Chris Christie's not He calls himself a conservative to
me though, he's more of a moderate I view him. But that's what
the part, that's what the conservatives need right now. We need a moderate.
Because I have said this since I've started coming on your show. Elections
are not won by party supporters anymore. You're not gonna win as a Democrat
just based on Democratic voters, right, You're not gonna win as a Republican
just based on Republican voters. You're going to win if you can get the
people like you, Matt. You have to get the independent, you have
to get the moderates, you have to get the undecided. That's how you
win an election. Donald Trump is not capable of getting them this year,
this cycle. He just isn't. Um. Ben Shapiro and I've mentioned this
video Ben Shapiro made, and I don't. I don't have an issue with
Ben Shapiro per se. I think more oftentimes than not, he makes a
valid point and his his over zealousness gets in the way. Yeah, yeah,
um yeah, I know what you mean. Um. So with that
being said, I don't think with that being said, I don't think he's
I don't think he's as bad as other conservative pundits out there. I don't
put him in the uh Stephen Crowder, Max Candice Owens. No. I
think he does make some valid points, but then his he just goes overboard
with that point and it goes to another level where it shouldn't. But regardless,
he said he doesn't think Donald Trump can carry the minority vote like he
did in twenty twenty. He knows he can't carry the women vote like he
did in twenty twenty. Right, So who in the Republican Party can look
at this and say he's a viable candidate. No, he isn't, because
the numbers that got him that close to the finish line won't be there anymore.
Well, he's kind of in a position where it's and this is not
anything new, he's sort of an extreme example of it. But both parties,
for as long as I can remember, you know they've got you've got
a kind of attack to the almost the extremes of whomever your base is in
your party to get to the nomination and then try to attack to the middle
to actually win the presidency. Which is why election after election we end up
with candidates who in the general election who nobody is really that thrilled with,
because you end up with people who are sort of seen as being on whether
it's fair or not. I mean Hillary Clinton, for example, in twenty
sixteen, I wouldn't call put her on the fringes in terms of she's no
like super left wing liberal, she's a pretty moderate ideologically, but nobody was
really that happy with her. But Trump is in this situation where the more
trouble he gets into, the more likely he is to be the nominee because
the Republican Party is such a cult of personality that revolves around Trump now that
they will absolutely make sure he's the nominee. He's according to polling data,
he's in a strong, much stronger position now than he was when he ran
in twenty sixteen. It's incredible, um and uh and running even running for
re election in twenty twenty in terms of you know, he's guaranteed to be
almost guaranteed to be the nominee. That's why I refer to him as the
presumptive presumptive nominee. But but you're right, he's not. He can't possibly
win the general election unless Biden just really really implodes, which is possible.
But he's a horrendous general election candidate. But here, here is where I
stand on this, and I stood on this ground for quite some time.
This situation is constantly evolving. Here now with this recording, if I am
an advisor for Rhonda Santis or Chris Christie, I'm writing on this tape right
now, I'm going on this saying, look at how nonchalant he is with
this country's secrets, because that's how you're going to get those people that are
undecided that sit at home on caucus night, or I forget the other term
for it, I'm sorry, the primary primary. There we go, thank
you primary night. You're going to get them to come out and actually have
a say. And that's the most disturbing thing with me in regards to our
voting process. People think that they're doing their civic duty just by going out
and voting. I believe it's a two step process. I believe you must
caucus or go to the primary, and then vote. That is your full
civic duty. If you only vote, you're only doing half way, and
really you're voting for who you think is the lesser of two evils, not
voting for who you really want. Right Well, that's and that's the position
that so many of us end up in on election day. Absolutely, caucus,
you're voting for who you want, or when you go to a primary,
you're voting for who you want. Right then, when you vote for
the lesser of two evils, I'm less likely to say, Okay, uh,
thanks, I guess you did something right, but you didn't do the
other half right. Um. Yeah. I have a major issue with people
who do not who do not Caucus. Yeah yeah. Um. By the
way, Hello to Chris Rose, who joins us in the chat, as
well as Chris from the band Edgewise, Hello, sir, and Huey.
The Gecko asked another question, This one's directed at me. Okay, fantasy
world, Christy versus Biden, who would you vote for? Matt Well,
So here's my my answer, so idiot. Logically, as someone who's kind
of center left, my politics would line up more with Biden than with Christie.
However, I will say Chris Christie is the kind of Republican that I'm
comfortable with. I'm not unlike say a Rhonda Santis. I don't find Chris
Christie, uh, completely terrifying. Although I don't trust him. I still
don't. I still don't trust I'll never trust him because with Bridgegate, I
believe he absolutely knew what was going on there. Um my, but idiologically
I would lean toward Biden. But at the same time, if it gets
if Chris Christie's a nominee and it starts getting close to election time and it
looks like Biden is really starting to come apart cognitively because I am very concerned
about that, then I you know, I could see myself getting into a
headspace where I'm going, I'm not sure if Biden is up for this.
Whereas Chris Christie, he's uh, you know, he's sixty years old,
but obviously next to Biden, he seems like a young whipper snapper. And
uh so I can see a scenario in that scenario where I would be tempted
to vote for Chris Christie. You you obviously would go for Chris Christi in
that does scenario? Eric, I like how you said starting to show cognitive
She's well, I see. The thing is with Biden, it's a little
hard to tell because he's been gaff prone his entire career. So when when
when there is a gaff? But but I'm concerned about today and this is
part of why this is sort of top of mind with me. I guess
he referred to China as as India, like he was getting those mixed up
and getting a rack and Ukraine mixed up or something, and it's like,
uh that that worries me. And I'll tell you what. There there there
are many many times where he seems really energetic and with it, you know,
when he's given a speech or whatever. And then there's other times where
it's like, oh no, if if we were in World War and he
had to nuke one of them, and he's just like, ah yeah,
dropping on Ukraine. Well, in that in that type of situation, it
wouldn't much matter, it wouldn't within within at least we would have entertainment for
our last moments, like, oh okay, Ukraine, we helped you for
so long. Here's a new to keep you warm. Yeah, yeah,
Hughey said, Uh. I think it's tough though, to sway any independent
voters with Christie or De Santis. Well, I think I think it's easier
with Christie because De Santis. See the thing about Ron De Santis and Eric
You've you've expressed in the past, Uh, some things that you like about
DeSantis. I don't know if that holds. But every time I see or
here to Santas talking to the media or any anyone anybody's interviewing him, the
first thing out of De Santis's mouth is, well, we have to defeat
wokeness and and leftist ideology and it's ruining the country. You know nothing about
inflation or or other economic issues or foreign policy. I mean, he'll get
to that, but his openings. The thing is always about wokeness and trans
people and critical race theory and all the stuff that Chris Christie doesn't seem to
have any interest in. But but De Santa's just to me, De Santa
seems like a psychopath, to be honest with you. That's a lot of
my issue with him as well. Yeah, when you look, when you
attack an ideology, you know you are attacking a personal viewpoint of someone,
right. And look, I can say anyone who knows me knows I'm against
white nationalism. Okay, but every time I come on your show, I
don't have to start off by saying I hate white nationalists, right right?
Yes, But and that's my issue with Ron De Santis is, yes,
is the woke movement uh somewhat of a problem? Well yeah, but is
it as big of a problem as blatant racism. Is it as big of
a problem as wanting to enforce the banned books lest nationwide? Is it as
big of a problem as inflation? No? Is it as big of a
problem as immigration control? Absolutely not. It's like, so I agree with
you that his scope it seems like he's trying to take the Trump people.
Yes, but he's but he's but he's he gets to the right of Trump
a Trump even and this was actually I thought a good moment for Trump,
even though I don't like the guy. Again, I try to give him
credit where a due. I don't know if you saw this, Eric where
Trump and he got a good laugh actually the crowd speaking that he was speaking
in front of when he's uh, you know, uh, dysanctimonious or whatever
he was calling him that day. You know, he's always talking about wokeness,
wokeness, I woke, woke. I don't even know what that means.
Nobody knows what it means. The way he said it was funny,
but uh, you know, because he doesn't seem to be particularly interested in
that stuff either, you know. And uh and I thought the way he
said it kind of made me laugh. Um, yeah, go ahead.
I think Rodd Scantists is going to fail. And here's why I think he's
gonna fail. And it's really it's I know, you don't like this.
It's kind of a conspiracy theory in a way. Rod de Santists targeted Disney.
Yes, and please hear me out. Okay, what network is a
part of the Disney family link ABC, what network airs the debates, airs
political programming during the election cycle? ABC. When you upset a media group
and this isn't like upsetting Fox News, You're upsetting a giant media empire because
Disney is far reaching. Oh, you mess with If you mess with Disney,
you're messing with ESPN, MTV. And yes, I know that crowd
probably doesn't give a hoot about what Rhnda Santis says. But you're limiting the
platforms that will paint you in a positive light or give you the opportunity to
paint yourself in a positive light. Yeah. So I think he really hurt
himself when he did that, referring to his war with Disney. Yes,
yeah, I think it hurts him. I think that's going to come back
and bite him. You don't tug on Superman's Cape and you don't make one
of the big three networks mad. Yeah, I mean I think it hurts
him just in a more just in a broader sense, and that I think
it gives his opponents in the primary kind of something to use against him.
Well, and it has been used against him somewhat where they say, well,
how can he be a conservative when conservatives are supposed to be pro business,
and here he is trying to take down the largest employer in the entire
state of Florida. You know what is he doing And he's doing it just
because they criticized but don't say gay Bill, the so called don't say gay
Bill, and this is just so he's actually harming, trying to harm his
state's largest employer out of vindictiveness, but also kind of going back to what
you were saying about how the way de Santists presents he's attacking somebody's viewpoint that
also will not work in a general election. Not that I think he's going
to be the nominee again. I think it's going to be Trump. But
it's what because see Desantist. To me, I remember there was a time.
It seems like a lifetime ago now, but there was a time Eric
where the Republican Party used to talk about wanting to be a big tent They
wanted to be a big tent party with a lot of dynamism. You know,
you don't have to agree with us on everything. There are some core
principles, but you don't have to agree on everything. Desantists to me,
seems like he wants to have the smallest tent possible, and if you don't
already agree with Desantist, he doesn't want you in his tent. I feel
like most candidates, if I were saying to encounter them in an elevator and
I were to say to them, Hey, I'm not I don't really agree
with you on most things, but what's your elevator pitch why I should vote
for you? I think most candidates would try to tell me something, try
to convince me. Right, I'm a voter, right, why wouldn't you.
I feel like if I were stuck in an elevator with ron to Santus
and I said that to him, he'd say, what, you don't already
agree with me? Well, you you're terrible. I hate you. I
don't want your vote. I mean, he might not say it that directly,
but I don't think he'd I don't think he'd even be interested in trying
to convince me. I think he would just be like, oh, what
are you some sort of leftist? I'm going to defeat you and your leftist
ideology, you know what I mean? He seems like he's intent on driving
people away more than he is on bringing people in, and that's a horrendous
general election strategy. Again, not that he's going to get that far.
You in the election cycle, your focus is too prong. And this is
going to sound very simple, but a lot of candidates miss it and it
really costs them. Your approaches is too prong. You have to hey,
cheap your supporters and be bring in new ones. Yes, and I think
that point is missed quite frequently. Yeah, Oh absolutely, and it's it's
really unfortunate. Yeah, I um, I think so. I think Chris
Christie is someone who can bring more people in again with his with his being,
with him presenting as a moderate as as he does, I think he
can. I think he would be a very strong general election candidate. And
I think de Santists would be again if you take Trump out of it,
and I think Decantist would be a horrendous general election candidate. Oh the Sciantists
gets killed. Yeah, yeah, And I liked when I mean, now
go ahead. I mean, I think personally Trump's as bad as to say
Antists. I think neither one of them makes it to when California closes.
I think it's over before that. I don't know, though, I don't
know. I mean Biden is uh I thought, what he I don't.
I don't know if you've had a chance to see this, Uh, Eric,
I think Biden made a horrendous mistake today with this Bidenomics thing. Did
you see this? I did not, So what's going on? He gave
a speech today, and you know, he's trying to take credit for a
lot of the strong points currently in the economy, and there are a lot
of them. I mean, actually, you know, if you take inflation
out of the equation, which is a global problem, not strictly in the
United States. If you take inflation out, most economic indicators are are very
good, and we have record job growth and so forth. So anyway,
so he gave the speech. He's trying to take credit for all the good
things, and he's calling it biodynamics. And I think that's a terrible idea
because all it's going to take is if if the economy happens to dip into
recession, which forecasters seem to be a little less worried about than they were,
say sixty days ago, but but it could still very well happen if
the economy does dip into recession. And he's already tried to tag the economy
things like you know, record low. We have the lowest unemployment in fifty
years and all of that. He's trying to tag that as biodynomics. He's
trying to brand it as that. But if the economy tips into recession,
then he's given his opponents this gift by putting a name on his anomic record.
And then I just know, you know, the ads, whether it's
Trump or whomever else, these campaign ads that they're gonna be putting out saying,
oh, look at what Bidenomics has done to the economy. It's it's
a very it's very risky, and it's a it's such a gamble, and
I think a very bad gamble. And um I I uh, I don't
know, I don't know. I don't know how that's gonna pan out for
him. Yeah, it's it's like, uh, it's that uh dodgeball mean
pulled strategy cot and let's see how it plays out for him. M yeah,
yeah, I just I don't know. Like this the twenty twenty four
election, the more I talk about it, it's just like that episode of
South Park, Bag of Douche or Turn Sandwich. It's like, oh,
okay, yeah, Like I might write in Dog well you could. I
suppose I might. I might write in Rocky Pilchure for President. Well,
uh, now, I don't think your dog is constitutionally eligible though. I
mean, I don't know how long a dog is supposed to live, but
I assume he's not thirty five. He'll be seven this Tuesday. Oh what
is that in human years? Is that? I mean that's forty two in
human years? Okay, all right, well that might work. Um uh
natural born citizen? Was your dog born in the United States? He was
he was born in a farm in Eldora, Iowa. Oh wow, very
Uh that's a very American. You don't get much more American than an Iowa
farm. I always say, actually, I've never set up I've never said
that before. Actually, but what's that? I think, Matt, we
need to start a movement on your shelve right here, right now. Rocky
Pilcher for President twenty twenty four. Wow. Yes, well then, uh,
you know, his political opponents would say, wow, this election's really
gone to the dogs. See what I did there. That's why I'm an
afternoon drive. But uh oh, Miriam banish showing us in the Facebook live
chat. Yes, yes, um yeah, so de Santis and Trump were
both in the state here in New Hampshire yesterday. Um, what do you
here there in Iowa? Are people still excited? You know? Trump actually
lost he did very poorly in Iowa, uh in twenty sixteen. But uh,
what's the vibe there currently or is there one yet? Maybe it's too
early for there to even be abe there. It's too early for there to
be a vibe. Like we have local political issues that are really really bad
right now. Uh. We have a group of homes in one of our
historic communities that is having imminent domain forced upon them. Yeah, um due
to uh flood quote unquote flood protection. Yeah, when they really where they
just want to put high rise apartments there, of course. I mean so
uh yeah, that's that's a major issue right now. Uh. I actually
have a friend Facebook friend who's lives in that neighborhood and she's fighting them tooth
and nail. Yeah on this. Um, I don't know if she'll win.
Um. I haven't really educated myself well on it. Yeah, but
I think when the government imposes imminent domain, you're kind of of a proverbial
creek without a paddle. Yeah. I think in most places there's they don't
really give you a choice. They tell you that they'll give you I think
they usually promised to give you fair market or even above fair market value for
the property, but they don't really, they don't really give you a choice,
especially if it's a if it's a highway. But but this is for
high rise apartments. Right after the flood of two thousand and eight, we
instituted the Floodplane, and the floodplane was to essentially ensure that this one hundred
thousand year flood would never affect us again. Yeah, all as stupid and
as ridiculous as that sounds, well, not necessarily but uh well, flood
like that ever happened again. I'm just telling me, telling you people,
we have greater concerns than your home. Right, it's time to hit a
church and go to an altar. It's about to be all over. Uh
So, yeah, I never understood it. And I worked for a TV
station, a local TV station when the when the flood happened, So I
was made me to it and I knew what was going on. Right,
But in order for us to get this exorberant amount of FEMA funds, there's
a clause and if I'm getting this wrong. If anyone from Cedar Rapids is
listening other than me, I apologize. But there's a clause for community improvement.
Yeah, and it's very loosely wordy. Yeah, that's a very vague
term to what improvement means. Right, But city council is thinking that that
means we're going to invoke imminent domain on this area and just build high rise
apartments right, right, And they probably rationalize that as they're they're raising the
value, raising the property values in the area. Yeah, I can see
how. I can see how that would happen. I mean, that's why
a lot of times, you know, especially with things like zoning laws,
for example, they're written in a way that they're they're they're vague enough that
you can kind of interpret them different ways or project onto them whatever your goal
or agenda might be. Right, And yeah, that's absolutely correct. But
so that's one of the local issues going on here. Yeah, we also
want a casino here in Cedar Rapids. The problem is is that the gaming,
the Idle Gaming Commission won't allow us to have one. Why reason being
is that forty five minutes south of us, there's Riverside, you know,
forty five minutes to the east of US there's Tama, and an hour and
fifteen minutes to the north of US there's Iola Capri, and ninety minutes from
US there's a casino boat in the Quad Cities. So they're saying that our
area already has enough casinos and if we were to get one, it would
take business from the right. Our argument in this community is, but they're
taking money out of our community now, right right. Yeah, that's that's
um not unusual what you're describing. I know in other parts of the country
and even in uh that's even come up here in New Hampshire where um,
a number of years ago. I don't remember the details, it was quite
it was quite a while ago, actually, but someone wanted to build a
casino in Salem, New Hampshire, and it never did get off the ground.
There was just too many things, too many things bumping up against it,
and it never happened. And you know, it would have created some
jobs. I don't know what else it would have brought that might have been
on the negative side of the of the ledger also, but uh, but
but yeah, it just never it just never ended up happening. But um,
Eric, we are we are approaching the top of the hour and I've
got to I've got to get our musical guests in. But I always love
talking to you, my friend, and I always look forward to Wednesday,

setup. Do you want to tell us a little bit about with the lap
This is kind of a first. Actually, this is kind of a joke,
isn't it. But yeah, we got a little back and track going
on. It keeps the drum machine down. Yeah, it's like our robot
third member and then we're the two humans is keeping it in line. Yeah,
robots of the future anyways, So we're just trying to get ahead of
that. That's what the Jetsons taught, right, It's soon we're it's just
gonna take over for us and it'll be just the laptop. Yeah right,
well it is, uh is all inevitable. I suppose that's what I'm thinking.
Anyway, let's see, Um, okay, why can you play something
on the U or is it easy to play something on the computer resolutely without
without actually starting? I just want to make sure. I just want to
make sure we're go ahead and start a song. I'm sure it'll be fine
and I can boost. Let me give you I can give you a little
count in see if that sounds good. Yeah, yeah, man, I
just want to make sure that I heard it in the headphones. Yeah I
heard that too. Okay, up a little bit, all right, I
think I think we're in working order here. Yeah, okay, that's great,
all right, great, cool, all right, we're ready to tear
into it. So, uh, first song, right, first song?

Is it short? I tell restaurants over the phone that it's Evan and
that's just that's easier. Yeah, yeah, no, I can imagine and
purpose. No, that's Jack was asking though. That's a good question.
Is it short for ebenas not at all? Just e? That's the assumption
usually. Yeah, yeah, no, I like it. That's it's cool.
It's cool. I don't think that his parents ever read the Christmas story.
That's more obscure stuff. Yeah, hey, do you want to sing
that song about soup? Oh? Yeah, we got a song about soup
to play for you guys. This is very appropriate. We had I don't

one of the more unique artists that we've had on the show. And I
like it. Oh well, thank you very much. Yeah, yeah,
I dig it. What what where's the name come from? By the way,
is there a meaning behind the name of the assumption? Usually, but
I think the answer is a resounding nor. Well. I I have a
theory that I that I like to tell people. So I think it came.
I think it came from when we were just joking around and we were
talking about band names, and I was thinking about the Baritones, and I
was like, everyone likes the Baritones. What about his brother? The Jaritones
oh that was it. Yeah, I thought the name Jerry just sounded funny.
I mean it does. That has a lot We were going to call
ourselves Jerry's kids. That's the name of an actual like um like benefit program
or something for like people with some sort of condition. We didn't want to
use that. Yeah, he probably ended up to steer clear end up trademark
issues with that. Yeah. Yeah, we almost ended up with trademark issues
with jar at all. But yeah, yeah, we elderly medication right right
now? Has it always been just the two of you? Because I thought
I saw a picture online with three people. We did have a third.
We had a third. Um. He decided to get a life, so
we wish him well. That was soup for him. Yeah, he's welcome
to he wants to come by. He can't get soup whenever he wants.
He's just not making it anymore. He's not on the I Got you.
So it was amicable man. So he's so allowed to come by. Oh
yeah then yeah, he actually wrote one of the songs off of our new
album, Monkey Habitat. He helped write with Boston to Bengus. Yeah,
we don't tell him. It'll be a surprise. Maybet exactly what I just
said, forget exactly what I just said, right right, all right?
How about another kind of love song here. Let's keep the love, Let's

Not many bands can truly be described as original anymore, So keep doing you?
Thank you can be described as the Jaredones either, that's right for us.
How do you guys describe what you do? Like if somebody asks you,
hasn't heard minimally? Yeah, I tried to avoid describing. Yeah,
I'd like to say that we were silly rock band, a silly little rock
band, because I really do, genuinely believe that there's a lack of silliness
and modern music today. Yeah, Like, I think it's all way too
serious and around. Yeah, we're just we're just trying to goof around.
Where's where's the goof? Yeah? Just remember that ad campaign? Remember that?
Yeah? All right, Hey, we want to sing about a high
school friend of ours. Okay, and by friend we mean enemy, enemy
arch enemy. Oh okay, this one, this next one is called Fauna
Stuck dies tonight. He's okay with this? Okay, okay, And this
is an I legally binding death thread at all f DT here it comes.
He came from a Lasco. He's name is Jacob. He's got a lot
of friends, but I don't really like him. He's six foot five and
he drives to damn. Now let me tell you why. I hate that
man. FDT tripped me on the floor on the way to the store.
He took my Davin card and got in his card. He drove to a
secret place I would never find. And that's why I want him to die.
FDT gonna stop dies tonight. Gonna stop die fa stop dies to Nye

he's all out of wife. Chick he's gonna pay chicken die, hold on,
hold on, hold on, well, the owner of a priestly step

and I don't know how Buddy died. He died, but not legally.
Damn. Very nice, gentlemen, Thank you, very well done,
very more truthful version. There probably was a time when Jacob fed you play
versus he did. He did feed me dog food too. Actually, oh
my goodness, I can see why you would want him to die. I
mean not really, of course. Oh no, no, no, no,
no, really, not right right. Mariam Banish says on that the
previous song there, she says, they did a great job of replacing the
sweares. Also like the goofing around vibe. Thank you so much. I
tell you, where's the goof? She found the goof? She found it,
she pointed it out. Even yeah, excellent. Who are you?
Can you guys tell me a little bit about influences. I'm wondering, like,
um, okay, Ween Different huge huge influence. Yeah we both like
Ween Devo huge influence, a lot of like eighties rock groups. That's like,
but you're bad. You like the older stuff. I I like to
go way back. I go I go back as far as like some of
the fifties stuff, like Chuck Berry, Marty Robbins. Jack brings all the
folk to the table and then you got the punkin Scott. Yeah, yeah,
exactly, and that that comes together to make a nice broth. I
have an insufferable love for electric guitars and brass sections. There you go,
there you go. Oh yeah, Jack, you reminded me to a little
bit of on that last song of Fred Schneider from the B fifty twos.
Oh thank you. Yeah, the B fifty two s got when he got
that comparison from my mom about five years ago. Yeah, you were rightly
heard us writing that song. Yeah, the Bedroom Wien is great. Peter
White from The Morning Show, that's like his favorite band, and that's the
Giant Goods. That's the giant cardboard Peter whitehead in the corner there, hey
man. And he also loves Ween in addition to actual Peter White out of
a smile at me with a with a watercolor smile. Yeah, yeah,
crilic or whatever. He likes to sit in with all the bands. Well
that well, thank you for sitting in. And you've got great taste.
I've been staring at your giant head this whole time. Yeah, it's filling
me with hope an ambition. We want to sing this song we got.
It's about a working at a fry cook job. This is about a fry
cook job. It's called frying. We've all been there. Oh boy,
yep. No matter what you do, you're gonna get through, no matter
what you say. It's happening in today. Don't flip it, don't fall

about a true story. This one's a true story. In college, a
man showed up to work in our septic system and he was on our front
lawn for a very long time, and we were staring at him at the
window, and we wrote a song about him. And he doesn't know our
names or likenesses, or probably that the song exists. It's just some so
that so standing the man. This goes out to you. Yeah, all
right, it's called man on the lawn. The jeritones there's a man on
my lawn and I don't know what to do. There's a man on my

you something. Yeah, I can't ask me some real quick. What's up?
