everybody, welcome, here we go Happy Monday. It's a new week here

on Matt Connerton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n

H five point three FM and Glorious Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Also on

Comcast ninety seven. If you're in Manchester, and hello to all of our

online listeners across the nation and around the globe. You can go to my

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

links, contact in Folk Show archives, et cetera, et cetera. Today

is Monday, July seventeen, twenty twenty three. I hope everybody survived the

We had some flash flooding yesterday here in the city of Manchester, a little

bit on Saturday and a lot more on Sunday. And wow, and I

hear I hear sirens. I've heard a lot of sirens, by the way,

just in the last just in the last thirty minutes, a lot of

sirens. You know, sometimes when I hear sirens, I might hear a

siren and sometimes I'll hear a whole bunch of sirens at once, or at

least that's what it sounds like. And that's what I'm hearing right now,

a whole bunch of sirens. And that's what I heard earlier too. That

might be a good name for a band. A bunch of No, not

a bunch. That's terrible. Never mind, What am I thinking? A

cavalcade of sirens? No, no, that doesn't work either. A barrel

of sirens. No, that's even worse. I don't know anyway, a

lot of sirens. So I hope, I hope everything's okay. But I

hope, uh, I hope everybody was okay. Yesterday there was one individual

apparently in the city of Manchester who went around a barricade and ended up with

their car bobbing up and down in a very large pool of water, to

say the least, and I'm using the pool, using the turn pool very

lightly. It was a very loosely. It was a very big, big

puddle all the way up to their all the way up to their windows,

I think on the images are online. Of course, that was on Hanover

Street, I believe. Yeah, don't do that, don't you know?

It's not worth it too. What's there's some sort of an expression somebody came

up with the rhymes don't drown, turn around, or something something like that.

You don't know what's in look you you might think you can make it

through that enormous puddle, and maybe you can, but maybe you can't,

and you don't know what's in that puddle. There could be in Hillsboro,

New Hampshire yesterday there was a road that just completely buckled. No one was

hurt, apparently no one was on that part of the road when it happened,

fortunately, But but you know, you see a giant puddle like that

where the road is flooding, you don't know what you're driving into. Not

only might the water be deep enough to stall your car and then you get

stuck, but or worse if you gets swept away in it. But for

all you know, too, there could be a giant sinkhole that's forming below

that puddle. You know, anything can happen, so just don't do it.

It's not worth it. You know, you can always find a way

around, or you can always pull over somewhere. And because the thing is

with these flash floods, what I've noticed is once it stops rating, the

water does recede very very quickly, so just be a little bit patient,

and it's it's the better option. So but yeah, we've had We've had

quite a few instances this summer so far of where you know, when it

starts raining, it just rained so hard. I've told the story more of

an anecdote. Really. I suppose a couple of weeks ago, I was

on my way here and I made the mistake of I'm standing on the porch

waiting for the rain to let up a little bit, because I was on

my way in to do the show, and I do most of my show

prep at home so that I'm pretty much ready when I come in. But

I still I like to get here by you know, I'm live at four

pm. I like to be on the I like to be in the chair

and kind of getting settled in no later than three thirty, So I try

to get here by three thirty at the latest. So I'm definitely ready for

four o'clock. But that day, I'm standing on the porch and it's just

pooring, and it was the loudest thunder I've ever heard in my life,

and I kept waiting for it to just just enough of a break that,

you know, because I bring my own computer in with me that I used

during the show, I don't want that to get wet. I can get

wet, I don't want my computer to get wet. And that bag that

I have is an exactly waterproof and I just I'm waiting and waiting on the

poor for it, just for it to lighten up just a little bit so

I feel like I can get to the car without my computer getting wet.

In hindsight, what I should have done, I didn't think of it until

after. What I should have done, since I was so concerned about my

computer, I should have gone back upstairs, gotten a garbage bag, put

the computer, wrapped the computer in a garbage bag, and put it in

the bag that I used to bring it here, and that would have definitely

kept it dry. But I didn't think of that until later. So I'm

standing there and waiting and waiting, and the rain just wasn't lighting up.

It was coming down so hard, and it just wasn't lighting up at all,

not even a tiny bit. Finally, I'm looking at the time,

I'm like, I gotta go now. I'm gonna be late. If I

don't leave now. I have to leave now. And I left and I

got out onto the road and I was like, oh boy, I waited

a little too long. There's one big intersection I have to go through where

it was a little bit scary. So that was a teachable moment. But

and I hope, you know, I do see both. I think Melanie

and Jay fed are both in the chat room. I hope everything is okay

in Vermont, you know, mon Mont Peerie or Vermont. You know,

Melanie has shared some images on social media, and you know, they've had

a they've had a terrible time recently, so hopefully things are better there.

But anyway, so I hope everyone survived yesterday. I didn't I didn't hear

in this area about anyone. Well, I mean, it wasn't like severe

flooding. It was it was flash floods, you know. But whoever that

person was no offense. If they're listening, whoever that person was who got

stuck on handover street. I hope you're okay. I didn't hear anything in

the news about you dying, so I assume you're okay. But I hope

you learned something. Then again, they're probably hopefully their car was fully insured

and they're going to get a new car out of it. So uh,

maybe it's a good day for them. I don't know, because if you're

I mean, you know, your car canstall if it gets too wet driving

through those huge puddles. Then of course you can also permanently mess up your

car, you know, if it's if it's up to your windows and your

car won't move, there's an excellent chance that you've damaged your car beyond repair

in the flooding. And again, if you're fully insured, that's good.

But if you're not, then I'm sorry for you. You should not have

tried to drive through that puddle. But the real moral of the story is

if somebody sets up a barrier of some sort with a sign on it that

says, you know, don't drive into this enormous puddle or whatever it says,

probably doesn't say that exactly, but that's there for a reason. The

authorities have put that there for a reason. I say this with apologies to

any of my libertarian friends who might be listening who think that government is only

here to make your life harder. You might not accept what I'm telling you,

but it is the cold hard truth. They put that there for a

reason. The barrier is there for a reason. And if you look over

the barrier and you see that where the road is it has now become a

pond or a river, that might be the reason that the barrier was put

there. So you should pay attention to that. There you go. That's

my uh my homily, if you will, my sermon, as they used

to call it when I was a kid going to Saint John's. By the

way, we do have a great guest coming up in the second hour,

So I opened up with a couple of songs. Today I opened actually with

susie Q by the band Credence Clearwater Revival. That's a little bit of an

inside joke. If you know, you know, and very few people know,

but I think, I think it's funny. Jenny is in the chat

room, and I saw that she appreciated it. It's a little a little,

a little hello. I'm waving the hand as I once heard someone say

to a friend out there, susie Q. Um. I've never actually met

susie Q, but I like her work or his work. There's speculation it

might be a susie Q might actually be a male. We don't know the

actual gender of susie Q, so we can we can refer to susie Q

as they them. It's fine, it doesn't matter. The point is a

salute, a wave of the hand to susi Q. And then we heard

Relentless. Of course that was a radio edit. If you noticed a few

words missing, the radio edit of the track Relentless from the band Vain,

and they are going to be skyping in today at the top of the hour

as we approach five pm. I'm gonna play another song of theirs. I'm

gonna play my favorite of their's track called All of Me, which is really

good, but I think Relentless is the current single that they're pushing, So

if you'red i'd play that at the top of the show. Really great stuff

that gets the adrenaline going. That's something you want to listen to when you

first wake up in the morning. If you're out of caffeinated beverages. You

could put that on. No. I really like that though. I like

their sound. It's it's heavy, but it's melodic. I dig that.

So they're gonna be skyping in at five pm, might be four pm their

time. I'm not sure they're in Texas. Yeah, Texas. That's Central

Time Zone right all the way from Texas. So looking forward to talking with

them. That will be coming up at the top of the hour, and

we'll play some more of their music as the show proceeds as well. So

let's take a moment and say hello everybody. Well, actually, let me

give the studio line first, and then we'll say hello everybody in the Facebook

live chat. But the studio line is open six zoo three two five zero

six z seven six zo three two five zero six zero seven. You can

also text me at six one seven nine one seven four four seven six.

I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email me Matt at Matt

Connerton dot com. And of course you can interact endo Pine in the aforementioned

Facebook live chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear

your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six zoo three two five

zero six zero seven six zo three two five six seven. J Fed is

in the chat and says good afternoon everyone. Jenny is in there, of

course and says shalom, peeps, Crystal, our friend from the great state

of Illinois. Also in the chat room, we have a call. Our

friend Shannon is on the line. High Shannon, Good afternoon, Good afternoon.

I think it's the first time I noticed you're mentioning Cristal. I was

wondering about her if she was our excited. I don't think like Easy hasn't

been called in yet. Easy, if you're listening, call in and say

hi, yes, Easy g We haven't heard from him. He did not

call in Thursday last week to do his entertainment report, or as I like

to call it, his Amanda McCarthy, April Cushman Katie Dobbins Report. But

he has a long history though. Yeah, he disappears for a few months,

and then he reappears, and then he says, oh, I just

needed some time away, And then I wonder where he goes. I think

he just goes somewhere in his mind into the death. Yes, I don't

even want to think about it. Could be both, I don't know,

but yeah, so I'm sure we'll we'll hear from him at some point.

But no, Crystal shows up in the chat room pretty regularly. Well,

yeah, you usually, but I just either haven't heard it or I haven't

noticed you say it. Lately, m because I was thinking to myself,

I haven't heard him mistake Crystal from Chicago lately, right right, Well,

I don't say Crystal from Chicago. I say Crystal from Illinois. I don't

know if she's sorry. I don't know if she's in the great city of

Chicago. You might be thinking about Chicago. Because Friday on the show,

our musical guest was the great Dave Wally, who I went to high school

with. He's got this fantastic band, Satellite Union, and that was a

lot of fun. Dave skyped in and uh wow, that was cool,

and he was wearing a Kiss shirt. Now you all couldn't see it because

you can't see the video of the people when they skype in, but he

had on a Kiss shirt, which was really cool. I felt vindicated because,

as Dave and I discussed on the show back in high school, he

made fun of me for being a Kiss fan, but now he likes kiss

and respects them, and he was wearing a Kiss shirt on Friday, which

was very, very cool, So I appreciated that. That was wonderful lot

talking with Dave. If you haven't had a chance to listen to it,

it is in the archive and it was a lot of fun. And that

band is great. I'm not surprised. Dave is a very talented musicians.

Was but check out Satellite Union, really good band. Yeah. The other

day I wanted to ask you Tuesday when the Tricombs were on. Yes,

Now, is that available anywhere on the internet. Oh of course yes.

All the shows are archived at WMNH Radio dot org. Yeah, but there's

no video on that. No, the video is on Facebook if you go

on Facebook or or I also do put them up on the YouTube. The

YouTube, so it's on YouTube. Oh yes, yes. In fact,

if you just go on YouTube and type in Matt Connerton Unleashed Tricombs, it

should come right up. Oh well, I'll have somebody to do it.

Yes, have Kyle do it. The next time he goes to give you

a big hug. Well, I hope you know. I don't know if

he's listening or not, but I don't know. It would be nice to

have one in two, you know, a couple of months, a couple

of months, two hugs a month, that's what you're looking for. Let's

not asking my I mean I have no um, I got basically no human

contact. But you know. I mean, I go out to a store,

I get what I got to get, and I come home. And

today I went to a Walmart. And I'm not going to whine and cry

and dwell about it, but I could not see as much as I did

the last time I've been out, And I don't know, it's kind of

worrisome. Oh. I won't say scary, because it's to be expected.

But in terms in terms of your vision, yeah, that that center.

If you picture a donut with a hole in it, yeah, well,

picture doe being put in the center of the hole and then it gets added

to a little bit and a little bit and then you just have a little

tiny, round, clear thing between the hole and the donut. I got

you the donut. Yeah, So I noticed that today. And the thing

is, I'm not so much sheltered as I am isolated, right right?

Is it is it? Uh? What is it? Channon? Is it

glaucoma star Guard's juvenile macular degeneration? Oh, macular degeneration? Okay, gotcha,

Yeah, but but start meaning I just got I got a new name

for it. In ninety three, it was maculate degeneration. In nineteen eighty

it went to star guards, juvenile macular degeneration one doctor liked to call the

macular dystrophe. Then I have cataracts, two kinds. Did you know there

were three kinds of cataracts? I did not. Yeah, there's this the

nucular uh um cataract. There's the posterior subcapular cataract. I have those two,

uh, and then the other one I don't know because I don't have

it yet. Yeah, the pause stereor cataract. Do you get that on

your backside instead of your eye? See what I did there, made a

little That's why I'm in an afternoon drive, Shannon. Uh huh, That's

why I'm an afternoon drive. I've got I've got jokes. Well yeah,

well I'll tell you. I had to tear my retina once. And you

know when you talk about lasix and stuff like that, that's easy. That's

the corner, that's the right you're right. You can touch that, Yeah,

you know your corner. It's right there, it's the front of you're

right. Yeah, but the retina is way back. Yeah, and you

have laser hit that. Oh did that hurt? M hmm? That hurt?

Yeah? Yeah, that was the only Yuh that doesn't matter. But

no, it's it's concerning me. Is that in? Is that in both

eyes? Yeah? Well yes, everything's in both eyes except the posterior subcapulars

only in the left eye. Okay, I also have Uh, this is

a real treat assilopsia. I'd like to strap jeff Nyon down, put contact

lenses in his eyes to make them stay open and make them look at that

and see how long it takes him to puke. Uh, I'm I'm sorry,

I'm stuck on. I want to strap Jeff Nyon down. Um,

that's uh, well, you know, I mean whatever you're whatever you're into.

By the way, Jenny uh sending some support in the chat room,

She says, I see my retina specialist tomorrow morning. Hugs. Okay,

good luck. Yeah, I mean I have my own I have my own

eye thing. I have pigment terry glaucoma. But I'm fortunate they caught it

before I before I technically even had it, when it was still pigmentary dispersion

syndrome, which is often a precursor to pigment terry glaucoma. So I was,

I was very fortunate. So I just have an eye drop that I

have to take once a day that controls of the pressure and I'm good.

So they have to do with the pigment in the color of the Irish No,

no, mis are blue. But no it doesn't. They they call

it, uh when you get the pigmentary dispersion. It has to do with

the spindles that they see. I think I don't fully understand it myself,

but I've had this disease all my life. I don't understand it. You

can look it up in end More. Yeah, yeah, I Mine was

discovered because I had lasic done and so my eye doctor at the time,

doctor Fogel, doctor Aaron Fogel, she's she's fantastic. She um, she

did the lasic to correct my vision. But because I was going for regular

checkups after that, like every six months, she she noticed I had the

pigmentary dispersion syndrome. She said, we got to keep an eye on this

because very often it's a precursor to pigmentary glaucoma. And sure enough, within

I think two years, she had me dog with the pigmentary glaucoma. But

but the thing is it the good thing about it is and it sounds weird

to say it this way, but if you're going to have glaucoma, the

kind that I have is the kind that you want to have because it's it's

easy to treat and if you if you catch it in time, it doesn't

advance at all. Um So, so i'll my vision is not at risk.

And as long as I say on the eye drops, you know,

I shouldn't have any issue. But although there's other things that can go wrong

as you get older too, I realize that like cataracts for example, And

oh I hope I don't get one on my pasterior. I'd be terrible and

macular U Hopwood said he had macularity generation. Yeah he did mention that,

didn't he? Yeah? I think in one eye. I don't think he

has it in both eyes though if I remember correctly. Well, I don't

know if he's listening. Is he in the chat room? No? I

rarely only once in a while do I see John Hopwood in the h in

the Facebook live chat. Only once in a while, if you can read.

But next time he's on, I'll try to call and remember to co

and tell him something, okay that might might help. I don't know,

tell him something good. Yeah, oh, I know what it is.

You're gonna tell him you want him to go and give you a hug.

Is that what it is? Because I because you're looking for two hugs a

month, right, So if you get maybe he and Kyle, you know,

Kyle can do one a month, John Hopwood can do the other one.

I'd be nice. You'd like a big hug from John Hopwood, wouldn't

you. Yeah? Yeah, probably you could hug him, and you can.

You can kind of pick him up, you know, Yeah, yeah,

one from Jennie from Juno. Oh, okay, Morning Show Jesus.

Oh do you want to hug from him because of his hair? Morning Show

Jesus. Oh, I like long hair. Dude's got great hair. I

don't know what his hair looks like. Oh Jesus. They call him Mourning

Show Jesus for a reason, and he does have he's got the hair.

That dude gilded that gilded color. It's it's not the color, it's it's

the uh. It's the what do you but what's what's the term. It's

not that, it's the it's the fullness. It's the uhal the volume,

the volume, that's the word. I was looking for. Oh, yes,

just incredible, incredible. I covet his air. Oh but you used

to have long hair. Yeah. Do you ever cut it? Yeah?

I tend to every every now and then I'll just grow it out long and

then I say, wow, this looks horrible. I should probably cut it.

It doesn't look horrible. Well, it's long hair. It gets to

a point where it starts to look a little not It starts to look like

I'm not twenty years old anymore. But I'm running a hair I hadn't.

In English, I think it was mister Landry. He had a pony too.

Yeah. In creative writing, Yeah he was. He was a nice

guy. Yeah. I had a ponytail for a while when my hair was

really long, when I was playing in a band, and I would take

the ponytail out when i'd hit the stage and then whip my head around and

my hair would be flying everywhere. And it was glorious. I must say.

I think there's pictures of it online and perhaps some video. It was

glorious. But those days are gone, Shannon, I've moved on. Yeah.

Did Jenny have a nice birthday? Yes? Uh, yeah, Well,

I mean, you know, kind of stayed put because the weather was

terrible. Well yeah, but yeah, but uh yeah. That's when she

says, I'll take a rain check on where you were going to take me.

Hmm, that's when she says, I'll take a rain check on where

you will go. Oh oh oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were

making a pun rain check because it was the weather was terrible. Well all

right, Shannon, all right, will you take care? Well, thank

you, thank you for the call. And I could use some prayers of

it, if anybody does you know I could? I could use him words

to the big guy upstairs. Oh. DJ Steve is in the chat room

once to know if you would accept a hug from him. Yes, I

would now him. You could probably pick up while you're hugging him, pick

him up and let him dangle pick I mean, how tall do you think

I am? I have no idea. You couldn't tell him the picture.

Um, I can't remember if you were taller than Kyle Clayton. No,

I wasn't taught. I was. I was a little tiny shorter. Oh

okay, maybe you couldn't picked DJ Steve up or John Hopwood and dangled him

in the air. I don't know. Maybe not maybe not. Yeah,

everybody come by giving me a hug a week. Yeah, that'd be good.

There you go, hugs for Shannon, all right, take you two

bye bye? All right? Always nice here from our friend Shannon. That

does open up the line for you. Six O three two five six seven

six three two five O six zo seven. And if you're just joining us,

we have a great musical guest today coming up at the top of the

hour. We're gonna be joined by all the way from the Lone Star State.

Oh it's too bad, Texas. Mike isn't here with us today.

The band Vain and by the way, if you're looking for them online,

they spell it v E I N, but both the V and the N

are capitalized. Vain is our musical guests. We did open with one of

their songs, and we're gonna play another one of their songs. Actually,

just a little bit before five, I'm gonna play my favorite track from them.

It's called All of Me. And then when we come back after that,

we should have them on the on the UM Skype. Oh, Jeff

Nyan isn't the Facebook live chat says I'd pray for her, but I don't

think it would help now, is that, Jeff? Is that because you

just you don't think prayers would help Shannon or you or are you just not

on good terms with the big guy and you don't think he's listening. I

don't know. I mean, I you know, I'm a little lapsed in

my theological practices myself, to the chagrin of my dad, of course,

So I don't know how any of this works anymore, to be quite honest

with you. Let's see, we'll finish saying hello to everybody in the Facebook

live chat. Melanie says, I'm super excited that we are all together to

witness the end of the world. The end of the world. Uh,

what do you mean? Is there something I don't know about? Oh,

the sound of the sirens? Is that what you're referring to? No,

those were I think those were firetrucks and things, at least I hope.

Crystal says the sound of sirens sounds like a parody of Simon and Garfunkel,

The Sounds of Sirens. Yes, it does. Actually, Oh, Melanie

says, I mispronounced mont Pelier. Is that not how you say it?

Mont Pierre. We've been bridle Bru apparently, I can't say it. Mont

Pierre, Montpelier, A stumble on that maybe I have a speech impediment like

somebody from New York. I know Montpelier, and that is difficult for me

to say. I can't think of another word that I say on a regular

basis that has a similar combination of vowels and consonants. I think is the

issue. Crystal, our friend from Illinois, has hashtag hugs for Shannon.

There you go, Melanie said, whoa there, cowboy. I am overseeing

all the hug action in Manchester from Vermont. How can you do that?

Alex Whiteley says, are one of our friends from the UK. I find

all this hair appreciation talk very baldest. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

I'm fortunate I still have hair myself. But but I have noticed,

strangely enough that my forehead has gotten bigger. But I don't know what that's

about. But my suspicion is I can't. Uh, there's no way to

confirm it. But I think what's going on is my brain, my enormous

brain. As I get older, it just it never stopped growing. DJ

Stef says, I can feel her hug here. Whoa, What's what do

you mean, it's getting weird. It's like a metaphysical or something. All

Right, we have a very busy Chatwoman'm gonna have to skip some of some

of these. Um oh, Isaac Banks, we always have time for our

friends in Greensboro, North Carolina. Isaac Banks says, how are you doing?

Hashtag Matt Connerton. Sure you know that. I will like to say

good afternoon to my friend Luca Huntley because I thank her for her she did.

I appreciate it to her of my best friend. She told me respect

to my brother hashtag Mike Banks. Um Luchera Huntley she helps women and men

plus the families. Hashtag Luchera Huntley, thanks for everything, my friend.

By the way, I would like to now, I don't know anything about

this Luchera Huntley. I don't know how she helps these people. I don't

know what goes on, but she sounds wonderful, and I would also like

to say thank you for everything. Luchera Huntley from I assume from Greensboro,

North Carolina. According to Isaac she helps women and men and the families.

That sounds fantastic. That's great. I would like to just if I might

suggest I'm just gonna throw this out there. I know this might be a

little challenging geographically, but if LUCHERA Huntley would like to come to Manchester and

give Shannon a hug, I think that would be great. That would just

be a splendid Melanie says, I have a barnfull of huggers in my stable.

I will have a barnfull of huggers in my stable by the end of

the week. At evil laugh here. What does that mean? Are you

planning on kidnapping all the huggers and bringing them to your barn. I don't

understand what's going on here, Melanie, but it's very confusing to me,

and it's a bit disconcerting. I'm worried about this. Melanie says she scolded

me for swearing. Can someone please let her know this is my superpower?

Yes, well, you can certainly swear in the Facebook live chat, just

not on the air. Hello to Tom Sapienza. I see in the Facebook

live chat. Hello there, sir, um oh, Melanie says, you

have to go back and read all my pimping comments. I I can't,

I can't. We have to move on. It's a very busy chat room.

Today, which is a wonderful thing. I love to see a busy

chat room. But give us a call six zo three two five six seven

six zo three two five six seven. The studio line is open. We've

got a few different things we could talk about. UM, it's one of

those you know, it's an embarrassment of riches. At times, there's there's

oh, hello to policy. I'm laughing at Melanie's coming. Hello to Policy

from retro Spectrum Radio with Policy Friday nights from eight to eleven PM here and

I have the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co host on this

show. I said that about as smoothly as I say Mount Pelier. Privilege

of being one of Paul's co hosts on that show, along with DJ Steve

and Mike from Queen City Cabinetry. Something quick, Um Media reports said Foxes

John Roberts calls for Trump to take on rivals at the GOP debates. It's

a democratic process. Let's see how you react. I am curious. Let's

see. I'd like to hear the audio of this. If you haven't been

following this, so in August coming up in August, I want to say

August twenty five will be the first of the Republican presidential candidate debates in this

cycle, and former President Donald on Trump apparently is not going to be participating.

Strategically, I agree with him, and you know it's not often you'll

hear me say that I agree with him on something, but I do agree

with him on that. Again, Strategically, he has no reason to debate.

He's going to be the nominee. He is so far ahead. No

one is going to catch him. All of these people, you know,

they're all I mean, some of them I think are running to be vice

president, like a senator to Senator Scott for example. But there is some

pressure on Trump now. Some people think that Trump will cave in because he

won't be able to avoid the spotlight. But he's done it before. He's

actually missed debates before. I remember in twenty sixteen there was one of the

Republican primary debates he decided not to attend. And if you're a call during

the presidential campaign itself, we usually get two every four years, we get

two I'm sorry, no, we get three presidential debates and one vice presidential

debate, so we get four a total. But in twenty twenty, we

only got two presidential debates instead of three. Trump decided not to participate in

one, and I think he held a rally instead because he didn't want to

agree to the rules or whatever they were. But I'm just curious. Hear

what John Roberts asked to say. So, I'm gonna If this clip will

play, I'm gonna play it. Sometimes the media player isn't so. De

Santa's George Mike Pats, Nicky Haley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, and

Vivac Ramaswamy on the Big Debate stage next month with Fox. All have reached

the forty thousand donor threshold required for the GOP's first presidential debate. Governor Asa

Hutchinson still hasn't cut that threshold yet. Meanwhile, we're still waiting on a

decision from former President Trump. He told Foxes Maria Bartaromo he doesn't feel like

he has to go. Ronald Reagan didn't do it, and a lot of

other people didn't do it. When you have a big lead, you don't

do it. It's actually not fair. Why would you. It's somebody that

said zero or one or two or three, it'll be popping you with questions.

But Sandra, it's not a final no. He said that he hasn't

really made up his mind. Sounds like it's going to be a game time

decision for him. I think we've all learned anything can happen at any point.

I shall hast me on all that for us. Thank you so much.

And John, we've got indications here on this program as well across the

network that you know, maybe maybe he will not be the former president debating,

but we will see. But there'll be a pretty pack stage and it

could be a make or break moment for some of those candidates at least,

you know, even if the former president is not there, a lot of

other candidates will be there. And to the question, why would you let

somebody who's a two or three percent be popping questions at you, Because it's

the democratic process. You want voters to get a look at all of the

candidates, and if you want to prove that you are the candidate that they

should vote for, well then let's see how you react to the questions that

are being asked. Yeah. Important part of the process for sure. Now

I agree, I agree in principle, but again, just looking at it

strategically, I don't see any reason for Trump to do it. I also

think that the other candidates might be better off not having Trump there anyway,

because if Trump is there, he'll suck up a lot of the oxygen and

you know, and he'll talk over people like usually does. He won't let

people answer and so forth, and he'll he'll be the center of attention.

With Trump not there, it does open up an opportunity for one of these

other candidates to kind of show their stuff a little bit. It will be

much harder to do that with Trump there. So as much as for example,

former Governor Chris Christy, as much as he postures and talks about,

oh, I really want Donald Trump to be there, I'm dying for him

to be on that debate stage with me. I think there's I think there's

a part of him that probably really feels that way. But there's also a

part of him I'm sure that kind of realizes, well, maybe it's better

if Trump isn't there, because Chris Chrissy will He'll attack everybody else. He'll

have no problem standing out as the alpha on that stage. Um and uh,

And he's the he's the one candidate who's really on the Republican side who's

really been able to um find it in himself to go at Trump directly.

Now, Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson also has been directly critical of Trump and

but but has talked more about how he feels that Trump is too interested in

vengeance, you know, getting revenge on his political opponents and retribution, which

Trump openly talks about in that speech when he said I am your retribution.

Um so so. Asa Hutchinson also critical of Trump, and Pence has been

in his own meek and mild Way and um Nicky Hayley kind of a little

bit, and Ronda Santis kind of a little bit. But you can tell

they don't like doing it and they don't want to do it, whereas Chris

Christie is the one person who seems to actually take joy in it, and

I'm sure he'd like the opportunity to do that in person. But he also

must realize at the same time that if Trump isn't there, that also opens

up an interesting opportunity for him to stand out, or for any of them

to stand out. But and by the way, there seems to be a

little bit of momentum behind Senator Tim Scott, but the people that the donors.

When I say momentum, I don't mean in the polls particularly. I

mean again, it's going to be Trump. Trump is just way ahead of

everybody. It's going to be Trump. But when I say momentum, I'm

actually talking about donors. There are some donors who are now switching, you

know, these high money donors who are actually switching, abandoning Ron to Santis

because they thought to Santis was going to be the anti Trump and they're now

realized that no, he's not, and they're actually switching to Tim Scott.

That's something that's been happening, which is pretty interesting that Tim Scott. But

Tim Scott isn't running for president, at least that's my belief. Tim Scott

is running for vice president. I think he has and I think he has

a shot at it. I could see Trump picking Tim Scott. He might

be a strong president vice presidential candidate, and he might in the future be

a strong presidential candidate. But there is no strong presidential candidate on the Republican

side in this cycle. Because it's going to be Trump, Crystal says in

the chat room, both parties need to debate. No one should ever assume

they have the presidency in the bag debates are like a job interview for the

American people. Well, again, I agree in principle, but I would

not suggest. I certainly would not suggest that President Biden debate. Incumbents don't

usually debate in the primaries anyway, and I certainly don't want to see President

Biden a debating RFK, who is First of all, I'm sorry to say

this. I this isn't something. This isn't a nice thing to say,

but it's just the reality of it. I have a very difficult time listening

to RFK. It really bothers me. You know, he's it's not it's

not his fault. You know, he's got some sort of a disorder that

has affected his vocal chords, and and he acknowledges it too. He has

said in interviews he's he said to somebody in some interview, he said,

you know, I feel sorry for anyone who has to listen to me talk

because I don't like to listen to me talk because I hate the way my

voice sounds. So he's you know, he's he's very he has some degree

of self consciousness about it. And so I would never make fun of him

for it. Again, it's not his fault that he you know, he

doesn't want to speak that way. But I'm just being honest with you.

And you know, if you want to think him a jerk for saying it,

fine, but I'm just being honest because I'm sure lots and lots and

lots of people feel this way. I have a hard time listening to him

speak it. It really just bothers me. But here's the other thing,

and this is this is where I will not h this. This part is

his fault. RFK is a lunatic, and um, I don't want to

see President Biden debating a lunatic. Uh. This guy just seems to Every

time I think he can't be any crazier or more of a conspiracy theorist,

he just goes even further. Now and we might I don't know if we'll

get to it. Yeah, We're probably not gonna get to it in the

first hour. Maybe we'll get to it on the back end of the show,

after our interview with Vane. He's going to be skyping in at five

pm. But um, now he's Um. I already knew he was an

anti vaxer, but now he's really going all in and on that and has

said some things that are uh seem to be anti semitic. And again we

might get into that later in the show if we have time today. But

uh, you know, and Conservatives are really embracing him. But I think

they're embracing him because it's not because of his polo. I mean, you

know, he's running as a Democrat for the Democratic nomination, and he's obviously

from a great Democratic family. He's a Kennedy. But but the Conservatives who

are embracing him seem to be doing so because they like them. They like

the the the conspiracy theory aspect of what he does. They seem to really

especially the anti vax stuff. They just really kind of glom onto that.

And we have a call. Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed. Who's

this? Oh hey, how are you? This is Greg from Clemenzo.

I would just call him to say hi and let you guys know that we're

listening. Clementos, Greg, Greg Joseph, how are you, my friend?

It is wonderful to hear from you. I'm doing pretty awesome, man.

Nice day out today. Yeah, yeah, it's clouding up a little

bit, but yeah, I also have a new listener named Dan that's listening

right now. So he's saying he's gonna be listening to you guys forever now.

Oh very good. I appreciate that tremendously. And are you on the

Morning show this week? Will you be on sit that one? What time?

I'm having a hard time hearing you. Oh that's okay. Um,

are you on the Morning Show this week? I like hearing you on the

Morning Show. When you go on, Yes, Monday and Tuesday mean Peter

White, Maddie and Kyle. We literally break it down. So if you're

not ready, it's not you know, just that the fifth place to be,

to be honest with you, we kill it excellent. Yeah, I

like hearing you on there. Greg, absolutely, thank you, Thank you

very much and I'll talk to you later. All right, Greg, thanks

for the call. Take care bye bye. Oh speaking of sirens, that's

so weird if you're just joining us. Earlier in the show, we heard

quite a few sirens outside it. He usually happens once a show. And

then Greg Joseph, one of our great sponsors here at WMNH from Clementosz Clemento's

Pizzeria, calls and there's sirens where he is all of a sudden, So

I hope everything's okay around there. But yeah, Clemento's one of our great

sponsors here at the station. And of course Greg usually you can hear him

a couple of mornings. He said, he was on this morning, and

he'll be on tomorrow morning too, on the Morning Show with Peter White,

which is weekdays from seven to nine am, with a replay from two to

four pm right before this show, and so you can check that out live.

And I always like hearing Greg on there. He's got kind of a

he's got kind of an understated, subtle sense of humor that I really like.

So's he's fun. And our friend Mike Doyle is on the line.

Hello, Mike, hey man, how's it going good. I hope there's

no sirens where you are? Yeah, no, no, no, okay

good. I was coming from Milford. I just started tuning you in here.

Oh hey, you know what I think they should do. They should

just have If you're going to run for politics, you have to you just

make it a rule. You have to politic you have to um, what

are they I'm missing the word here, but you have to uh in front

of it. You know what do they call I don't know why I'm during

a blank but um debate, you have to pay Yeah, And but I

understand Trump. He's so far ahead, like in a baseball game, you

got a big lead, you don't put your star pitcher, and you don't

put your your good players that could get hurt or get He's in such a

lead that you know all they're gonna do is so dats at him about his

legal woes womanizing, Um, you got frauds like Chris Christie, who's continue

to say he only built forty seven miles of fence. If he was on

a light detector, that light detector would would go off the table. I

mean he built forty seven miles of new fence. He built over four hundred

and fifty This is from the This is from the government standards of replacement fence.

Some of the some of the stuff in New Mexico, in places like

Dad, Texas were very breachable and old. So you know, the total

was I think the government said four hundred and fifty eight totals of new fens

and the rest was paid for and it's and the labor was paid for it

it's sitting there. So you hear Christy going around calling Trump a fraud for

saying I'm going to build all new fens. It's kind of lying, you

know what I mean? And I just I don't know how we get honest

people. But you just want honest people. Why can't it just be saying,

listen, I'm Joe Schmo, I'm Matt Connaughton, I'm running for president,

and I'm going to be as honest as I possibly can. You know

what I mean. It's just it's brutal. Well, people don't want honestly

though they want. The reason we get politicians who are not honest is because

we, uh, that's that's what we want. And the problem lies with

us we as human beings. It's it's really just human nature. We like

to hear. We like to be told what we want to hear, not

not the reality of anything. And that's how we vote. And that's a

percentage of that. Yeah, I think that's the problem. I think that's

literally the entire problem. We we don't human beings don't like to deal in

truth. We to deal in largely in fantasy. And that's why people can

get elected by telling you what they plan to do, and then if we

like what we hear, we say, oh I like that candidate. It

doesn't matter if what they tell you that they're going to do as even possible

or realistic, or if you have any reason to believe that they're actually going

to follow through. If they, you know, tell you what you want

to hear, you say, yeah, that's who I support. I mean,

that's but again, that's that's a human nature thing. I don't know

how you change it, unfortunately. Yeah. And the other thing that bugs

me is I'm a Republican. I lean to the right, but I kind

of consider myself a right center. I'm not a crazy righty. But yeah,

but I don't I don't understand why they're not making a big deal out

of Biden not speaking to the public more just having press conferences saying about everything

going on. You know, Fenton all in balloons, spy balloons, and

we never get to hear from the President to just stand in front of the

mic and say here's what's going on. Don't worry. We knocked down those

by balloons. They didn't get much material they whatever. Um, we're working

on the fetnel at the border. We're trying to cut that down because it's

a leading cause of death in males between eighteen and forty five. We don't

hear any of that, you know what I mean. We don't hear the

leader of the country standing up and saying, here's what's going on, here's

a here's what we think might be a cure, here's what's best, and

it's going to work out best for you. The common people who work hard

and make a living and have families and do whatever they want to do.

We just we don't hear that. We don't hear anything. So it's it's

just I gotta understand how it's frustrating. And for him to say he's not

not debating now, I mean, that's just that's that's opens up a whole

new Pandora's box. Basically, why isn't he you know what is he can't

he here? You know? Who knows what? But I don't know.

I just it's I guess, I'm I'm guessing I'm looking for that rainbow of

honesty. But it's like you said, it's probably a fantasy. Sadly,

yes, I hate to be so cynical, but yeah, but I am

just tell us what's going on, tell us what you're doing. Show us

what you're trying to do. You know, the government comes out every every

week, now every month, when they have a good report that inflation is

going down, and they tell you how well it are. Well, inflation

went up to nine percent, it was one point five when they took over.

Flation went up to nine. Now it's down to like five or four

and a half. And they're and they're patting themselves on the back of what

a great job we're doing because inflation is coming down. Well, no,

you you know it. You've got raised out of control there for a while

and now it's coming down a little bit, trying to moderate itself. And

that's all good. But for some they're taking they're taking the walk. You

know, we you know, we're doing so good for you. Well you're

not, you know, bring down gas prices, bring down groceries, bring

down electricity, bring down all the common stuff. You know what I mean.

But anyways, it is what it is. I did my rant.

All right, Mike, I'll let you go. I know you gotta guess

coming on and stuff. I'll talk to you later, all right, Mike.

I appreciate the call. Thank you, all right, See all right,

bye bye. All right. That was our friend Mike Doyle and it

is almost five pm. So what we're gonna do is we'll show some love

to our amazing sponsors, including our friend Greg Joseph from Clementos, of course,

and then we're gonna play this song. This is my favorite song from

the band Vein. It's called All of Me. Of the ones that I

listened to today, this is the one that I like the best. And

then by the time the song's over, we should have them on with us

via skype all the way from the great state of Texas. Really looking forward

to talking with these guys. Or it might it might only be one of

them. I'm not sure how many of them are skyping in, but we'll

Oh there we go about that. Oh yeah yeah, no worries, no

So I'm half and this is Hunters for Bin for the Bin, and I'm

the singer and guitars for ba Hey. Yeah, nice to meet you guys.

Uh good be here. Yeah yeah, I really like what you're doing.

I love that I played all of Me to start the uh the segment

because that's my favorite track that I've heard of you guys. I did,

h I did open the show with the radio edit of Relentless. But yeah,

all of Me is is just uh oh that is so good. Um.

I love what you guys are doing. And where in Texas are you

from? Well, we're in tex Texas suburbs of Dallas. Yes, oh,

okay, gotcha? Gotcha? Um yeah, how long have you guys

been around? Have you? Have you been at this a while? Well?

So Baye's around in its current form only about what four or five years

now, five years So that bay was just a bunch of guys initially who

just like playing music and we would jam every blue moon, and then things

kind of took off and we got a little more serious about four or five

years ago, and so we've been drunking at it ever since. Very cool.

Um yeah, I like the sound. You know what I like is

it's it's heavy, it's aggressive, but there's also a lot of melody and

groove to it. And I feel like you kind of don't hear that much

of that anymore, you know what I mean? Do you find that?

Oh? I think you're absolutely right, and that's to me. Groove is

so important to our music and when we write, and you're right, I

don't. I don't think a little grooves is what moves you, you know.

So we like to have you shaking your butt. I don't bring your

head, didn't matter. Want you to move out there, man, that's

all we want. That's right, that's right. I don't think I only

guy was shaking my button necessarily, but I am sitting down so but I

definitely, uh, my head was definitely bobbing. That's right. Is exactly

exactly? Do you guys play out a lot? Well, we're just mainly

in the Texas areas, so we're you know, we just played Houston two

weeks ago, so we we don't want to just play here. We want

to want to hear our music. So obviously we're trying to get out and

this is one of those steps, obviously talking to guys like yourself. So

thank you for having us on the show. We really appreciate this. Oh

yeah, yeah, glad to have you. Um hef do you do?

Um? Do you do all the lead vocals? Because there's um some of

the vocals are very clean, but there's also some growling in there too.

Is that all you? So? That is all me? A live or

bassis shot who's couldn't he had he has a day job or something? Yeah,

yeah, he helps fell out of the growls. A lot of the

high pitched screens. I do what I call the cookie monsher voice and especially

at all of me. That's something you have the pleasure or in the studio

you can overlay obviously, you know. So that's that's all of me literally

in so maybe like some of the background textures might have been group effort.

Yeah, there was just the generic chorus type stuff. But what you hear

is primarily him. Yeah. Yeah, And like I say, live Sean

comes in with what I call the five scream on some of our songs.

And and even Chris as much as other guitars, he does a lot of

leads and sometimes let speedy leads, but he's got that beautiful edge, just

that beautiful voice that we've been trying to incorporate more of because he just he

just whether Yeah, he does sit there and play his guitar and not.

You know, if I said Chris playoff stage and the current you'd be like

thank god. Yeah right. Um, is it difficult to uh? I

mean these songs there's there's um you know, it's not your standard verse chorus,

verse chorus. I mean there's some intricacy there, is it Is it

hard to Is it hard to play these songs? Or or is that easy

to do? You know. I've been in some heavy bands, but nothing

quite where it was quite as complex as what you guys are doing. Um,

all the bands I played in we're kind of just you know, heavy,

but not not super riffy and complex. Is it? Is it challenging?

It can be sometimes, Like when I was learning All of Me,

all of Mes verse section kind of gets me a little bit because it's a

little straight. Yeah, but it's also kind of bouncing its own right,

and so like the the articulation between the arms and the feet sometimes want to

trick me up a little bit. Yeah, and I did it to myself,

damn it right, But it's a fun one to play, man,

and it can be difficult at times, but once you get it, exists

like riding a bike. Rehearsal right, exactly do that a week at least.

I'd expect guys to come to the studio ready and and and reprimand them

if they're not, because I get to be that guy. Yeah, I've

gotten and from Chris. Everybody know that. It was in fact Chris.

I wish he could make it, but he also had a job. But

he wouldn't want to be here if even if he could, because he was

like, well, because he's the shyest guy in the band. And and

me he might be the most musically talented in the band's better but I love

it when I trip him up when we change some of the some of the

arrangements I make, and when he messes up, I'm like, yes,

I'm doing one of those one. Yeah, you know, holespaces. That's

a weird, weird kind of you know, rich section to be just to

make it sound simple, you know, I like it. Because I like

it, I want you first to move, as I was just bitching if

you're grooving to it. However, and then the second thing I don't want

you to hear my lyrics is I really believe I have a message to say

in every song. Yeah, but I want to give it to you in

a way that's not just gonna be in your face all the time or just

you'll fast as hell, and just I want you to trip off and go,

oh what that just happened? There? Why you hit that note right

here? Yeah? Yeah, yeah. A little speaking of the lyrics have

is there um? Is there kind of an overarching theme through the songs,

or because uh, the lyrics are interesting and it's it's it's um they do

pull me in and I'm curious about what you're you know what you're talking about

with with these um, I mean, what's the process? There is a

theme. But if there is a theme, it's about life. You know,

life happens to all of us. It's a it's about being a relentless

and getting back up or all of me. I like to feel like that's

you know, I give you all of me, yet you run away.

That's love loss, you know. Yeah, and we all experienced. So

I'd like to write my songs about things that happened and having to me,

having to my friends, happened everybody, I hope. I would like to

think everyone and just say we all we've all been here. Yeah, we

all been here, and I'm bitching about it or or maybe pacing about it.

I'm using bitching about it, not gonna lie, but I want you

to know you're not the only one struggling because we are too. And it's

okay, We're all on the whole, yeah, the whole thing. Yeah.

So so if there is a theme, it's about life. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, you're here, you buy you write a song about my

bitches in my Lamborghini. Hey, that's that's um understood, understood. Yeah,

I like relentless. I like the um the message there and and you

know, just about keep pushing forward and just uh yeah, I like the

I like the whole thing. I like the I like the vibe and um

um yeah really good. You know. I like it's positive what you're what

you're saying in terms of the messaging, which is good because you know,

some people who aren't in the heavy music they kind of think it's I don't

know, it's all about Satan or whatever. You know what I mean,

like it really is right, power and overcoming a lot of your current situation,

man, right exactly, inception. We're not all black metal, man.

Yeah. I won't write a song about Satan yet that you know,

but if it comes out, it might come up. Actually, I talk

about the Devil and one of our newest songs called we Afford. We haven't

recorded yet, but it called straight Jacket, and that might till back tie

back into the COVID and just everything we've all gone through the past few years.

Yeah, And I do mention that, you know, there could be

some evil forces behind all that is. Um yeah, So so speaking of

that, are you guys able to because I know, obviously the pandemic really

upended the music scene in terms of playing live. So are you guys trying

to play out as much as you can now to kind of make up for

lost time or do you kind of yea, like a lot of a lot

of the places have like opened up like hidden that first year though after a

kind of play band sort of first playing out, we did a couple of

shows where I was going, man, is anybody going to even show up?

Right of the fear out there? Yeah? And have we recorded words

in and during that time during played we might have played too much a little

bit because we were rewarded that no one was going to show up. But

I think we kind of overplayed in this last year. I said, let's

doll it back a little bit because we were we weren't having time to play

in the studio, to work on new material, to just be, you

know, do our job as a musician and get some stuff together. And

because we're playing so much, which you know, you know as a cursey,

as a curse and a blessing. At the same time, we were

honored that we could play so much. But at the same time, when

I was like, we have all these ideas just perculating we need doll it

back. So since COVID is the hard part was just getting back in the

group. But I think we've we've just now got back into that group maybe

you know where I feel like we're playing just enough and we're playing you know,

the Texas area only right now we were playing We're gonna do Louisiana show.

But it was just the well, the timing was rob But so so

we have we know, we're branching out as much as we can, and

so I think we're back in a good place. I think we're back where

we were before COVID, where I feel like we're we have that balance.

We can have some new material written in and we are working on and get

out there and show these people that are coming to our shows, our fans,

our friends, whoever, anyone. I only care if you our enemies,

but as long as I want you to hear our stuff and see what

we got. So I think we're a good spot down. Yeah. I

get the impression too, from talking to other bands from that area that we've

had on the show, that you've got a lot of options of in terms

of places to play there, right because you're in such a metropolitan area,

there's a lot of different places you can play and stay really active, right,

absolutely. Yeah, And we're like I said, we're just so we're

basically the Dallas for Warp area and what's really kind of silly as for War

has more have a metal scene than Dallas. Yeah, this is yeah Dallas,

but you know, we just we're Dallas kind of base. So it's

a little weird. So but Houston, San Antonio, Austin. I'll have

a great scene down there too, and we're trying to get into those scenes

more so. We're having fun doing that ots down in that area. Yeah.

So it's just you know, rights as independent. You know, we

got to figure this out on our own, which makes things a little tough

sometimes. I'm gonna lie, but you know, we we were good friends.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, not really matters, man. I have

a good time doing what you're doing exactly. By the way, there's a

picture on your website. Looks like you guys are in front of a pretty

big crowd. It says first show at Amplified Live. Oh that was phil

phil Ensmo on the Illegal Philoso and Pantera. That was that was yeah,

that you got to open that show. Wow, I'm not gonna lie.

The best day. We got rescheduled too. Yeah, we get we get

invited to play the show, which we're all elated. We were like,

holy crap, Robike, it was it was like Thursday, can you guys

do this Saturday? Yeah, they were like, crap, yes, it

gets canceled. Yeah, because like yeah, in like kind of the new

one. Damn it, we're gonna We're not gonna do this, but they

put it and then another band dropped off, and then they wanted a thirty

band, so we we were like, yes, we'll do it. Of

course short notice and show up and there's plus people and it's there's a line

out the door and what the hell? Yeah, like we're trying to drive

to the to the event and we have a friend. They were like,

Yo, we're supposed to like stand in line or anything, and we're in

the car driving kind of I passed that question for a second and then I'm

sitting in there in the seat like wait, there's a line. Wait,

hold on. Yeah, that was an incredible experience. It was I never

played in its own Dude. I don't know if you know this, but

so pets here only are they hugest influence, but we're working with one of

the producers sell Winfield. He produced those two songs he just played, he

produced, and so that tie in was just made it even more significant to

us. And then you get to to meet me and talk to you.

Trying not to be a fanboy. This is why I kiss your feet,

but I have to do here. You know pick that I played live you

specifically, Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, one of my guitar picks

I was. I was still nerding out and just a static from that show

because it was awesome. It was he was only only very nice to us

and very supportive. Yeah, and they just freaking killed it. Yeah,

of course it was awesome. It was so I mean, we were we

were our egos aren't that big. We know, everybody was there to see

Hill. Yeah, but we got such a good response from the audience.

We had bamboo guy, we have a guy we got that's so funny.

I'll tell you that. That way. We had people come up to the

our birch table and actually give us money, like yeah, like basically like

a tip, yeah, just a tip, get anything, but we want

to you have to, we want to support you. And I was like,

yeah, like that never happens. Yeah, I mean never it was.

It was. It was. It was half a dozen or so.

I was like, what I mean, could I give you a sticker or

something? They just wanted to give us money because we were part of that

show and the local guys and they knew that. And I found that was

like I didn't know what to say. I was blown awesome. It was,

it was. It was super fust It gave me encouragement too, because

it was, you know, maybe you're doing something right in pandemic, so

we're just kind of getting our our motor going again, if you will.

So she to those people, I love you experience. Yeah, it really

was, it was, it was, it was all. It was.

I can't I can die down. I've played with Pantera know that that was

a dream that could never happen, and it happened somehow. So Yeah,

as a big influence as Pantera is for the band, it's it's incredible.

I never got to a chance to meet him. Yeah is that to beat

beating and dime in different times in my life, but yeah, never got

to beat the stage with them. Yeah, share the stage at the same

venue at the same time, shake his hand like it's crazy. Yeah,

Oh yeah, Yeah, is that is that how you connected with that producer

because of that show? No? Actually, but I correct it was sterling

was I saw there was a trade magazine for audio engine yere okay, yeah,

I don't even it was some magazine to acture you. I would never

read again, and why I would read it to be in with was to

play board. But there was an interview with him, and the last line

in that interview said, I love working with new talent. Here's my email.

Talk to them. What the old nothing to lose? Right? Yeah?

Yeah? And I started a six month conversation on the email and one

day he goes, well, dude, when you're playing a show where you're

playing out, I'll come check you guys out. And I think he's in

New York or LA or something like that, and I'm like, well,

we're playing When we did have a show and I go where we're in Dallas,

He's like, dude, I'm in Dallas, Like what do I get

there? And he actually came out to Vain Studios so to speak, where

we're right down and watched the worst performance ever of us. You know,

Oh my god, I mean I've never been more nervous in my entire life.

And then this guy talked to us for twenty thirty minutes and broke down

our songs like no, I mean, I will listen to the music I've

created that way, he broke it down differently than we've seen it. And

you know what, if you'll mind, I'll quote what he said to me,

which I'll never forget. He said, hef you're not doing anything new

in metal, but what you're doing is combining all the different genres within metal

together, and each one of your songs is unique, and that's badass.

I want to work with your win what huh? Wow, I forget thy

after like expecting to get a beat down Call me in ten years when you're

ready, you know really it was really expecting that and been working with him

ever since. And matter of fact, I just talked to starlier and two

days ago. Uh, just's he's become a friend. I can't leave.

That's even happy, you know, he's just brand Yeah, he's my mentor,

and just wow, holy crap. I never saw those events ever playing

out in the way they have. And I'm so lucky, vain as so

lucky. We're also lucky to have become Yeah, this is the yeah,

he's been there, done that ten times over. What what what can I

say? You know you work with us? Yeah, now that's uh,

that's fantastic. Yeah, that's excellent. That's excellent. Well, guys,

um what should Uh, We're gonna We're gonna play another track in a moment

after we let you go. I think I'll I think I'll play Hollow Spaces

because, um, because you mentioned it. That's that's a great track too.

I love that. But um, what's you? Oh, by the

way, let me ask you this too, Well, where does the name

come from? And why why do you spell it the way that you do

with the capital V and the capitol N. Is there a story behind that?

Good question? So Vein is because music is in you. I really

believe this, whether it's your heart pumping it or whatever. So it's whatever,

but it's in your veins. Yeah, So it's the name Vein.

And then of course the logo the V and N actually or there's there might

be a subliminal image in that logo that is which well they're not. There's

no might there is. It's just I'm just gonna tell you, but that's

the if you imagine if you're looking at maybe a skull of a creature or

a human or whatever. Those are the eyes, and those are the horns

that are sticking out the top, and those are the top of the teeth.

I see it. Yeah, I'm looking. I'm staring at it right

now. I say, I didn't see it until you explained it. It

didn't come to me. But now that i'm yeah, yeah, that's that

is why we always capitalize the V in the end is to be part of

it. So there you go. Now you know the truth. Oh,

very cool, very cool. If you will, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, so excellent. You have it. And obviously, like I

said, it's because music is in our veins, all of us. Whether

you like met or not, you still have music in your veins. Yes,

if you resonate with it, man, it's with you. Yeah.

There you go. I dig it, I dig it um. Very good.

And what should people know in terms of following you on social media and

whatnot. You've got You've got the website of course, vein music dot com.

That's the easiest way in the bottom that patience links. But if you

want to just go to any streaming service, search for Vein Music. Because

there's a lot of other veins out there that are illitely using our name requires

lawyers and money which we don't have, right but Vein Music is usy what

I try to label everything under to hopefully so you can find us and Vein

Music on Facebook. So Facebook dot com, slash Bay Music say for Instagram,

no Instagram is official music been Vey Music will usually get you there.

If you're all for YouTube or iTunes, we'll get you there and and hopefully

you can find us and get some of our music. And yeah, that

helps. So that they've been once again, go to the babies dot com

scroll the bottom and you'll see a link at the very bottom that's play nine

ten different links there that takes you to all those services. And we just

created as a link tree. So we just created that. I'm still in

the middle of getting that all set up, but I think it's it's running.

I don't know how many links I have up there right now, but

link tree thought by Music we'll get you there too. Excellent, excellent and

uh oh oh and by the way, one other question too, when is

there a new new music on the way? You had mentioned writing a new

song. Do you know what? Yeah, well, we have eight new

songs that we haven't recorded, Okay, gotch So there's absolutely new music on

the way, and the only way you can hear this music is going to

a last show at the moment. Oh yeah, So we're working on and

we're working on it once again. It takes time and money, yeah,

and working on it, yeah, ain't you know? Affortunately cost a little

bit of money recording professional as much as we have the facilities of what we

call a studio here, uh, it's not that yeah, and especially working

with Sterling. Yeah, he's my friend Nolan, but he still charges Okay,

yeah, he's pals yare exactly. So of course we're talking with them

and we have we know, the hard part is going to figure out what

next couple of songs that we can record, that we can afford to record,

because we have still many favorites and we're always cycling through these songs that

write new ones because it's it's never any process right right, and well,

you know we live in a time too where you can just release singles or

you can hold back into an album or an EP. You've got a lot

of different options too with the way everything works. Yeah, definitely, the

goal is to do at least two songs. We would like to do two

songs every few months, every six months, and it's just it wants to

get it, but bowls down to money and unfortunately we don't get a lot

of that right now. Yo. Yeah, no, I hear you,

I hear you. Well listen, guys, Thank you so much, Half

and Hunter from the band Vein. I appreciate you guys joining us so much.

We're gonna play the track words from the band to close out the show

as we once we approach the top of the hour here on the program today.

So but yeah, those guys have a great sound. Like I said,

it's um. It's funny too because Hunter, the drummer, he was

talking about how during that song hollow space is how it gets tricky during the

verses there and then, so I was listening for that as I'm playing the

song. It's like, yeah, I can see, I can see how

that would be the case. So there you go. But if you'd like

to join us, the studio line is open six ZO three two five h

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 three two five six

zoo seven. By the way, I see Sepsis in the Facebook live chat,

of course, a great band from right here in Manchester, New Hampshire,

doing great things. They've got a brand new video, by the way,

or well it was brand new last week. How how long is something?

When does something go from brand new to new and then from new to

no longer new? Has anyone ever established that? I feel like there should

be a hard fast rule on that somewhere, but there really isn't. It's

all relative, but we can still say brand new. I think it just

came out last week. The new video that Sepsis has for the track Bleed

Lines, which is their newest single, which we did the world radio premiere

for here right on, right here on Matt Connerton unleashed on WMNH. Great

track bleed Lines. They've got the video for it, featuring the new lineup

of the band, and it's very cool. It's on YouTube check it out.

Sepsis sepsiss if you're wondering how to spell sepsis. It's good to spell

things when it comes to band names so you don't end up lost lost in

the internet. Some things are some things are easy to are easy to find,

but sometimes you have to have the right spelling as Actually, if it's

a if it's something where well, who wasn't we were talking about recently?

Oh, it was Dank Sinatra, the band Dank Sinatra. Of course,

our friend Fredo who sometimes is on the show or calls the show. And

if you if you look for Dank Sinatra online, you'll find, Um,

I think there's at least one other band called Dank Sinatra, and then there's

a couple of hip hop artists called Dank Sinatra. And so you kind of

have to sometimes you kind of have to look and make sure you've got the

right uh, you've got the right right project that you're looking for. Um,

I don't have that problem with my name. Matt Connerton isn't exactly a

name that you know, if you google Matt Connerton, you're gonna find me.

You're not gonna find some other Matt Connerton. There is another Matt Connerton

right here in New Hampshire. But he's my uncle. And I did find

another Matt Connerton once on the Google. Uh. There there there's a he's

like a computer programmer or something. But but he actually spells it the other

way. He spells at conn e art o n uh, not c o

n n a r t o n. So the version of Connerton the way

that my family spells it is even more rare. It's a rare name to

begin with. But there aren't a whole lot of Connertons. But once a

year, I'll go on Facebook and I'll just punch in the name Connerton and

see who who comes up that I didn't already know about. And there are

some, I mean there there are Connerton's out there that you know, I've

never even talked to. But but I'll actually go ahead and friend of them,

which is kind of weird in a way, right, I'm friending them

on Facebook, but I'm not but I won't ever actually even bother to speak

with them, even though they have the same last name. It's uh,

it's it's odd, I know, Jenny says in the chat room. There

are at least seven of me in the state and many across the country.

There's a QVC host with my name. L ol, that's true. If

you google Jen Coffee, you'll you'll find Jenny, but you'll also find a

QVC host who's all so named Gen Coffee. And yeah, Coffee's a fairly

common name, but Connerton is rare. So I'm fortunate that way. I

don't have to worry about that again. Six three two five six seven is

a number six O three two five six seven. Um, we should because

we touched on it, uh in the first hour, but we didn't really

get into it. For anyone who's curious what we were talking about. RFK

Robert Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, UH finds himself as he continues

his apparent descent into madness. And this is why I would say, UH,

President Biden should not debate RFK. Let's not platform this guy, but

um he is. I saw one pole showed him at something like twenty percent

in the Democratic primary in New Hampshire. Of course it doesn't matter Biden's incumbent,

but and they just raised seventy two million dollars. But we mentioned RFK,

and we mentioned the anti semitism earlier in the show. This is what

CNN has up about this. Jewish groups denounce RFK Junior's false remarks that COVID

nineteen was ethnically targeted to spare Jews and Chinese people. Yes, he is

now saying this. And by the way, this portion of the show will

be edited out of what goes up on YouTube because I you know, I

can't even get into the subject without YouTube blocking the content, as I've learned

the hard way in the past. So if you're if you were listening to

the show on YouTube, you're missing this part, okay, it says here

are a number of high profile Jewish groups are denouncing Democratic presidential contender Robert F.

Kennedy Junior's false remarks that Ashkenazi, Jews and Chinese people are more immune

to COVID nineteen. Speaking out a dinner in New York City earlier this week,

Kennedy said, quote, there's an argument that it is ethnically targeted unquote

according a video, excuse me. According a video shared by The New York

Post on Saturday, Jenny mentions two in the chat room, it's on video,

so no one is making it up or blowing it up. He flat

out said it and meant it. I'm not going to actually play the video

itself because, again, as I mentioned earlier, I know it might not

it's I understand it's not his fault, but I can't. I can't deal

with listening to him. I find it very difficult to listen to him speak.

He also said, quote COVID nineteen is a is targeted to attack Caucasians

and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese

unquote, Kennedy said, adding the quote, we don't know whether it's deliberately

targeted that or not. Unquote. Ashkenazi Jews traced their trace their roots to

Central and Eastern Europe and represent a majority of the US Jewish population. The

American Jewish Committee told CNN in a statement Saturday that Kennedy's quote assertion that COVID

was genetically engineered to spare Jewish and Chinese people is deeply offensive and incredibly dangerous.

Every aspect of his comments reflects some of the most aberant anti Semitic conspiracy

theories throughout history and contributes to today's dangerous rise of anti Semitism unquote. The

organization said. The Anti Defamation League also criticized Kennedy's remarks, selling CNN that

his claim quote feeds into synophobic and anti Semitic conspiracy theories about COVID nineteen that

we have seen evolve over the last three years. In a tweet Saturday,

Kennedy said that the dinner conversation was supposed to be off the record and that

he quote never ever suggested that the COVID nineteen virus was targeted to spare Jews

unquote. Really that's what it sounded like he was saying. Rather, he

said he was referring to a study that quote serves as kind of a proof

of concept for ethnically targeted bioweapons unquote. Uh huh. He didn't. He

didn't help himself any there, in my view. According to The New York

Post, the event's organizer, Doug Dechert, said the event had been on

the record. By the way, what kind of a defense is that to

begin with? Oh, well, what I said, I said this aberrant,

horrific thing, But it was meant to be off the record, so

you can't really hold it against me. I mean, it seems to me

that when people believe that they're off the record, that's where you know,

they're most likely to express their true feelings about something while they're disproportionate rates of

Again, this is from CNN, disproportionate rates of COVID nineteen illness and death

across different demographics. This has been attributed to racial disparities, not genetics.

Since the start of the pandemic, the risk of dying from COVID nineteen has

been nearly twice as high for black and Hispanic people in the US than for

white people. Data from the CDC shows black and Hispanic people also face a

higher risk of coronavirus infection and we're more than twice as likely to be hospitalized.

And by the way, just to stop on that for a moment,

so that we're clear that has nothing to do with genetics. People will hear

some people will hear that, and they'll say, wait, doesn't genetics play

a role. Why does it disproportionately affect black and Hispanic people, Which,

strangely enough, what RFK was saying was that it doesn't affect black people,

right, I think that's what he's said. Anyway, it doesn't matter,

it's it's what he said is nonsense. But um, if it disproportionately affects

black and Hispanic people. Says here nearly twice as nearly twice as likely to

die. You know, this was of course, during the throes of the

pandemic, not now that we have all these treatments. COVID nineteen is still

with us. We're never we're gonna be stuck with it for the rest of

our lives. But you know, we've gotten it to a point where there's

a large degree of herd immunity apparently, and also you know, you can

you can go to the hospital and get treated and uh you know, the

therapeutics and things at that for it. Now you're you're actually very unlikely to

die at this point, even if you do have underlying conditions. From what

I understand, I'm not a medical professional, but from what I understand,

we've gotten to a point now where you know, it's it's uh far less

deadly. But but just to be clear, the reason we see those kinds

of disparities, it has to do with economic disparity. If you are part

of a demographic that tends to have less wealth and fewer resources, be it

because of where you live, Say you live in an inner city in a

poor neighborhood, etc. Or you have less access to healthcare. Perhaps you

have a job where you don't have adequate health insurance. Maybe you just don't

have access to health insurance. Whatever it is, you know, there are

certain there are certain types of disparities financially and economically that affect black and Hispanic

populations, you know, much more than than white people. That has to

do with economic disparity. That's got nothing to do with genetics, just to

be clear, So because again some people will hear something like that and they'll

be confused by it. So if anyone was confused by it, I hope

I've clarified it. Okay, Jenny says in the chat room, Yes,

it is ethnic, not religious. Ashkenazi can be seen as genetic testing unlike

others. If there is a camera in the room and you speak well,

open mouth, insert foot. Doctor Marcella Nunez Smith, a chair of the

Presidential COVID nineteen Health Equity Task Force, wrote in a report last year,

quote, given generations of systemic disinvestment in the health of black communities in the

United States, the starkly disproportionate rates of COVID nineteen illness and death are not

surprising. Unquote Kennedy who was pulling between This is stunning and also frightening to

me. This is not good in my opinion. Kennedy, who is pulling

between fifteen and twenty percent nationally in the Democratic primary, is a longtime vaccine

skeptic who has promoted several health related conspiracy theories. He was a strident critic

of the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic and its top infectious disease expert,

Anthony Fauci. He also railed against the coronavirus vaccine and vaccine mandates. By

the way, and this is this is gonna sound like I'm taking a side

street here, But when I hear that this lunatic is pulling at fifteen to

twenty percent nationally in the Democratic primary against a city and incumbent president, tells

me a couple of things. First of all, it tells me that conservatives

obviously apparently do not have the market cornered on nutty anti science conspiracy theorism.

So it tells us that it's not just conservatives. Clearly, there is a

segment of the Democratic Party where there are also some really nutty people. Because

I'm sorry. Notice respect intended to anyone who might be listening who likes this

guy. But you might be a lunatic if you like this guy. Okay,

So it tells us that. The other thing it tells us, though,

is this, It tells us how weak Biden is and why again,

as I've said many times, he should not be running for reelection, and

he is selfish for doing so, and he must step aside and let someone

younger take a crack at it for the Democrats because and you might say,

Matt, you don't know that if it was somebody else and not Biden,

the RFK junior, you don't know that he you know, he wouldn't be

pulling at fifteen to twenty percent if it wasn't Biden it was somebody else.

You're right, I don't know that. But it's a good theory, is

it not. I'm pretty sure I'm right. I'm pretty sure I'm right.

I mean, I saw a pole recently that said seventy percent, seventy percent

of Americans across the political spectrum don't want either Trump nor Biden. America doesn't

want this rematch of the twenty twenty election. We don't want to rematch in

twenty twenty four, and age has a lot to do with it. As

much as I try so very hard not to be agist, we need some

younger energy in there. We don't need an eighty year old versus a seventy

seven year old. We just don't. That's just a reality. And call

me agist if you want to, fine, But I'm just telling you we

need some young energy. I mean, you know, I always say on

the show, how about a young sixty five year old whipper snapper to get

in there? You know. But but that's where we are, right So,

I mean, say what you want about Joe Biden's record. I agree

with some criticism of him. Some of it I think is unfair. In

some ways, I think he's done a good job, um and in some

ways I have some criticism. But regardless, he should not be running for

reelection. We are probably going to have on the show soon. We're not.

We're never gonna have RFK on this show. I don't. I don't

want anything to do to do with the guy, but we are. We

are going to have hopefully Maryanne Williamson, the author who is you know?

She ran in twenty twenty and she's running again for the Democratic nomination, and

uh, a representative from her campaign is as uh reached out to us UM

and Jenny is talking to him about getting her on the show. Uh so

uh that will hopefully be happening soon. UM, I'll talk to her.

She's actually very impressed. I know she left kind of a bad impression on

a lot of people, including myself in the twenty twenty debates. That was

clearly not the format for her. But um, when I watched a couple

of interviews with her, um, and I was actually pretty impressed. You

know, she's she's very very smart, very knowledgeable, um and and pretty

impressive and she does know the issues. Again that she didn't look great in

those debates, but you know, she was kind of already cast as sort

of the weird fringe candidate, right. Um. But but I do look

forward to having her on the show. But I don't believe if it were

somebody other than than Joe Biden, I don't believe RFK would be pulling at

fifteen to twenty percent nationally in the Democratic primary. I don't the guy's a

crank. Um. One last bit on this, Oh, hello to Miriam

Bannis. Joins us in the Facebook live chat and says Kennedy is a nut

one last bit here. CNN's k File reported earlier this week that Kennedy has

repeatedly shared unfounded conspiracies that man made chemicals in the environment could be making children

gay or a transgender and causing the feminization of boys and masculinization of girls.

The first time I heard that, by the way, I was immediately reminded

of Alex Jones talking about the chemicals that we're making the frogs gay. I

should play that song. I'm not gonna play today. We're gonna finish with

one more track from from Vain. But there's a song. There's a great

song about well anyway. We'll save that for another day. I haven't played

that in a while, though, but it reminds me of that. All

Right, we gotta go. We're out of time. Thank you all for

joining us today, and thank you so much again to the guys from the

band Vain out of Texas. Great stuff. We're gonna close the show today

with one more of their tracks, but if you miss any part of today's

show it we'll be up in just a little bit at WMNH Radio Dot org

and on my website Matt Connerton dot com for the full version of the show.

Of course, if you like to listen to the show later on YouTube,

the RFK segment will not be included. I'll have to edit that out

for the YouTube upload or YouTube will ding my channel. Even though I'm not

the one saying the crazy stuff, I'm just repeating the crazy stuff somebody else

is saying. But it doesn't matter to YouTube and the bots. So there

you go. I haven't complained about YouTube in a while. So thank you

all for joining us today, and we will leave you with this. This

is one more track from the band of Vein. This is great stuff.

This is called Words to close out today as Matt Connerton unleash. Oh.
