This is the third hour of Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are live from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM in Glorious Manchester, New Hampshire on Canal Street. Today is Saturday, August third, twenty twenty four. Jenny is here of course at the news table. Yes, yes, and we have three very special guests with us, of course, uh Eleanor and Spelfy and Andre from the and I always say it wrong, the Midnight Creatives Collective.
Speaker 2: Did I get it right?
Speaker 10: Yes, that's okay if you call us creatures.
Speaker 2: I don't know is that? Is there a Facebook group with creatures in it? Is that why I'm confusing it? Well, there might be, there might be, so welcome in of course. Andre also in the band Dead Harrison. So we were looking for a song to play and Beach Zombies was suggested, and we should talk about why why why?
Speaker 1: Why? Why?
Speaker 2: Why is Beach Zombies relevant?
Speaker 9: Why is because tonight we have a cool little thing happening at Terminus Underground where we're doing a little film feature and I got a band playing that's got a little Walking Dead theme going on to the vegans.
Speaker 2: The vegans.
Speaker 9: Thegans might be vegan, there might be vegan.
Speaker 2: A lot of musicians or vegans these days.
Speaker 9: Well you got to have that healthy lifestyle, that's right.
Speaker 2: So they're called the vegans the n e g. A.
Speaker 10: Yes, like Megan and the Walking Dead show, you know, the one.
Speaker 2: With see I've never I've never seen an episode of The Walking Dead, so I don't know who this Megan is. S.
Speaker 10: Meagan character is a very interesting anti hero.
Speaker 2: Oh why why an anti hero is uh Megan? Uh think you niversial in some way? Yeah, kind of, probably to an extent. He liked the use of violence to get the the ends and the means done. But gotcha.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it's basically the way that it turns out is like they're both just two separate groups that are figuring out how to operate and run in the new world after, you know, post zombie apocalypse, and they just have their own ways of doing things. And uh, there was a little confrontation that happened between the two groups, and a lot of bad things happened, and a lot of and then things kind of took a turn a little bit.
Speaker 10: But if you're not familiar with the Walking dead kind of storyline. You wouldn't know that Terminus is also part of that. So Terminus idea underground was a place of sanctuary. Oh, people starting to escape the zombie apocalypse.
Speaker 2: Okay, but it wasn't a place.
Speaker 10: A twist there that if you didn't follow all their rules, you would end up in a bus and they would eat you and serve you to the rest of the.
Speaker 2: All right, we're not.
Speaker 10: Going to do that.
Speaker 11: We do have a resident cannibal though, agree, you.
Speaker 2: Do terrifying he's a leather worker. Oh all right, so stay away from him if he's hungry.
Speaker 10: And when he's angry.
Speaker 2: So what exactly is going on tonight? I mean, so you're filming video with zombies or what.
Speaker 10: But we have our first movie night, So we're actually combining music and movie this tonight for a film premiere and it's a Silent Hill parody with puppets.
Speaker 2: Oh okay.
Speaker 10: So our friend Ryan Lockhart is the filmmaker and the performer, and she has created this entire film based on her series of gameplay Foul, which is what it's called very popular YouTube gamer series where she goes through and does gameplay with her puppet and the Silent Hill back job.
Speaker 11: Okay, so it's for that's for it's different games per episode.
Speaker 10: Yeah, different games, but it's kind of the concept. And she's created this whole one hour long movie as her coming out experience as a trans woman. So we're supporting her film as an art and she's also performing. She's an amazing rapper and oh ok I'm going to be doing several performances of some rap battle songs and yeah, so that's part of it. And we also have the Megan's gonna play too punk rock punk har kind of night. Okay,
Speaker 10: so grab your popcorn and candy and come over.
Speaker 2: We gotta get so. So she what's her name again?
Speaker 10: The filmmaker is Ryan Lockhart. Yeah, she's on IMDb.
Speaker 2: We gotta get her on. Like, she's got a fascinating story.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, she's an amazingly fascinating woman.
Speaker 10: She's also educator and an activist and she's just a really like, just very wonderful person altogether.
Speaker 11: Absolutely suggest getting her on the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, she sounds fascinating. Has she done other things do you know with puppets involving puppets.
Speaker 10: Or is this like so she does it mainly on her YouTube channel, and this is going to be the first time she's presenting a live presentation. She doesn't have the puppets tonight because they're very like they're constructed very like Hollywood standards, so they're very important. Yeah, he doesn't have any road puppets. Oh, but it'll just be her and her amazing energy and performance are so I think you, guys, if you can come and make it out. Anyone can come. It's ten dollars suggested donation. Normally we do a fifteen dollars cover, but this is something different we're trying.
Speaker 10: So I think it's going to be fun.
Speaker 2: Now do the Megans are Why why them? Or did it just work out that way or do they have some sort of connection to the whole.
Speaker 12: There's a big connection. Jimmy from the Megans and Ryan are besties in Okay.
Speaker 11: So Jimmy.
Speaker 12: Does extra on Ryan's show, on it on a regular basis on her show, and he does videos with her and stuff too.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, very cool.
Speaker 10: Have you ever seen Jimmy or the Megans before?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
Speaker 10: You're be in for a treat, very very fun. Yeah, very high energy. It's you know, kind of old rock, old rock punk, you know. Okay, right, so there's a lot of woes and yeahs jumping around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh very cool, very cool. We should talk about too. Uh. You know, Jenny and I were there the other night because she's got.
Speaker 10: Her art there amazing.
Speaker 2: It's like, you're, oh wow, you're like way in the corner over there.
Speaker 10: You're now you're on the spotlight. Jenny.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm literally to stay out of it. Literally, I'm like, where'd she go?
Speaker 10: Your video that I posted with all your art got eighty three views? Oh wow, that's organic views. That means eighty three people were looking at that little show. And what we mentioned on that clip was that Jenny is a healthcare advocate. That's very important to people knowing how our healthcare industry is not advocating.
Speaker 13: For us, right right, imagine that trying to get healthcare to be healthcare.
Speaker 10: Yes, imagine the care and quotations.
Speaker 14: Yeah, that comes out a lot in the art too, and especially in the collection that you guys have for like my Darkest Pieces.
Speaker 10: Yeah, those dark pieces are dark, yeah, like those things of nightmares.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 10: My daughter loves them though, she's like, this is like the back rooms.
Speaker 2: Oh that's very no kidding, no kidding, Oh very Oh that's crazy, very cool. Yeah, Now is that something you do every month? Every month you have feature a different artists or yeah, how does that work? Like how do you do people submit? Or what's what's the process like for deciding.
Speaker 10: It's pretty loose right now. You know, we have had people that have asked us, We have had people that we've sought out, people that just are like, yep, I'm putting my art on your wall. This is the coolest thing ever. Because we do an eighty twenty split con assignment if it's something sells, and we do a number of promotional things to get the art scene and recognize not only through the Terminus shows and you know our open house every Tuesday where people can come. We allow the artists to set up their own gallery showing and you know, they can do basically whatever they want.
Speaker 10: They can teach art classes, they can you know, have a reception, they can auction off their art at the Terminus.
Speaker 13: Yes, so there's a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 2: Excellent, excellent. Yeah, we should also talk to more broadly about what what you do at the Midnight Creatives collective because you know, we have a lot of musicians who listen to the show. Hi musicians, we want yeah, talk about that, talk about what you do with with musicians and in terms of well promotion, and.
Speaker 12: We do a lot of different things, but one of the main things that we do is we run underground music live music a few times a month in a little place that we call Terminus, and that's Andre's a little spot there that he graciously opens up for us living room style for us to be able to put on shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah but that oh yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 12: Yeah, and you know we open up the business bar, which is Eleanor Space and this barring quotation, yeah bar no alcohol served, so yeah but BYO B stuff like that. And then I've got the green room for the musicians and yeah, we treat our bands like family.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're very hospitable.
Speaker 10: Are key Like the key phrase if you were to put us in an SEO search would be hospitality. And that's We've had over sixty bands since we started perform at Terminus over the last six months, and every single one of them says, oh my god, thank you, We cannot believe you. A pay the bands every time, serve them dinner food when they're there, bella fridge filled with their favorite beverages and they have just a genuinely good time being so intimate in this environment with their fans. Knowing that energy is like being built in a small space.
Speaker 10: But it's really ideally what everyone seems to be wanting these days. Yeah, it's really nice to be able.
Speaker 5: To do that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think. I think the end goal of it is like to also try and provide a place for musicians to be working with other musicians that for new ideas, seasoned people learning the craft of not just like the the performance section of things, but also the behind the scenes, Like if you want to do things to push out farther, like, these are the things that you have to start taking care of yourself with and like whether it's signing up and being a member of AZCAP or BMI, there's little things that can help benefit you to like really make it into something that now it's not just you know, being a garage band anymore.
Speaker 9: You're trying to push yourself to an actual professional place. And that's what we're trying to do here is to like take the craft seriously. Don't just don't listen to everybody else.
Speaker 10: It's just like musicians are just like you know, or that the scene isn't united. I don't like hearing that, because we know how to unite it. It is about you know, doing what we're doing and inviting and welcoming as many people in the underground scene that we can to take part. So this is you know, where the community is actually happening. And there's other places too, like other collectives have started to pop up, which is really awesome, and we like to collaborate with just about everybody. Yeah, because we're all about, like you know, seeing it as a future perspective, like you know, we're going to be those boomers again, I mean not again, but eventually, and so who are we teaching and what are we teaching for the next people to be able to rock and roll and keep rock.
Speaker 13: And roll alive.
Speaker 9: Yeah, And it's basically set up like a nice little membership like you would have a gym membership or something, but you get to come in and work with people you have. You have a place to come and do things that kind of like separates you from the world and like sometimes you try to do the stuff at home, but there's always a distraction This gives you a place to actually go and work on your craft, work on the behind the scenes, bring your laptop, hook up to internet, make pictures and pages and set things up, work on a website.
Speaker 9: Have somebody that can help you work on a website to get things going, and what's my next step? You know, the place to have those little conversations that so yeah, and I mean and even with terminus, like I want to use it as a place where there's Katie Red who is a sound person that has been working with us and does a great job. And were just having a discussion of having a class for bands to come in so that they can learn how to communicate with the sound person what they need on stage, so that they can get past the things of I got to deal with the grumpy sound guy.
Speaker 9: Well, if you spoke the language and you understand what a sound person is trying to understand, you would be able to increase your performance because you were able to communicate the things that you needed to sound good for yourself on stage.
Speaker 2: That is a fantastic idea.
Speaker 9: So it's a little things like that.
Speaker 2: Now that specifically though, is because nobody I don't know if there's a course at Berkeley where they I don't think so where they teach out how to deal with the sound guy, but I mean at this level. But right, that's what. Yeah, that's the thing, because yeah, that's.
Speaker 10: That's the textbook stuff at Bery.
Speaker 2: Well that's what i'm But that's what I mean though, like, actually, you know, because you have to. It's not so much the technical stuff when you're dealing with a sound guy at a club. It's you know, the personality aspects of it that can come into play. And there's a fly in here. That's unusual now, but probably because we were talking about zombies.
Speaker 10: Some of the rotten made it with us, our reputations preceding us.
Speaker 2: I heard somebody on the morning show the other day saying there was a fly in here, so it must be the same fly. I've never seen a fly in here. But no, I think that's that's a fantastic idea. I don't know anybody around here who's doing anything like that.
Speaker 10: We're doing lots of things no one else has even thought of. I went into a women's empowerment group for women's CEOs this last week and I tried to do it elevator pitch for what all we do, and it really I don't have a short way of saying any of what we do, because we do a lot, but it's all like really beneficial stuff, Like it's next level stuff. So it's like we've got the School of Rock in Nashua now and they're teaching all the young kids, and I feel like we're just that next extension yea for that.
Speaker 2: No, that makes sense too, yeah, because you know, obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, especially for people, I mean there's probably a lot of musicians around who you know, they're yeah, they're not gonna they're not gonna go enroll at the School of Rock, but they but there's things that they they need to know. That maybe part of the challenge, though, I would imagine is there's a lot of musicians who don't know that there's things that they need to know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: And that's the and that's the thing is trying to you know, pass that information along that people aren't thinking about, right. And it's like, you know, she threw me in and made me do a class a couple of weeks ago to be like I'm gonna make a class. You're gonna teach some people how to like learn to run our sounds board. But it also like put a thing like for musicians to learn how to actually like work a soundboard to the things to look at to like whether it's setting up monitors and setting up stage things and having levels and where to look at in your EQ settings.
Speaker 9: And there's a lot of little things that it only makes your craft that much better that you know these little behind the scene things, because that's going to help you just dial in what you're looking for, like say your sound and.
Speaker 2: If you have a better understanding of what the sound person goes through exactly.
Speaker 10: And we have a very you know, it's not a club that we have. It's a private space where we open it up. It's not very big. I mean it's bigger than the studio, but we have specific like sound needs for that room. So it's really nice to be able to, you know, teach people how to hone in the sound even in a small space and make it sound phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Well, what I tell everybody, I'm sure you've heard me say it is uh when you walk into terminus. I still remember walking in there the first time. It's like another world.
Speaker 10: And then better now Andrea just tweaked some things.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, And I had no idea about the whole with is the walking Dead yep, I don't know any of these zombie things. But uh, I had no idea about that part of it. But even just not knowing that, like just walking into that room, it's like, wow.
Speaker 10: There will be no zombies. Yeah, anyone's scared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, zombies are bad.
Speaker 9: But I may have to add a couple of skeletons in the ceiling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, there you go. Well, you know, earlier we had on Dylan Reynolds, who has this EP called radiation Sickness and it's about like like one of the songs is about Chernobyl and it's all about you know, these things that can But it sounded like he's in a zombies too. He mentioned a video game. Did you mention a video game that involves zombies? She's over there in the corner.
Speaker 10: But uh, yes, I hear what's up?
Speaker 13: I heard you with the zombies?
Speaker 10: Okay, yes, yes, there's a lot of video games with the zombies. Silent Hill was one of the first, I think.
Speaker 9: Right, No, it wasn't particularly as zombie.
Speaker 12: It was.
Speaker 9: I don't I don't know. I didn't play the game.
Speaker 2: He mentioned he mentioned a video game with see, I've never seen any of those.
Speaker 9: It was like, just weird dark, It's curious.
Speaker 10: Yeah, when we agreed to do the video or the movie and we had to preview what it was about because we weren't too familiar with the Silent Hill brand. Yeah, the movie, yeah, I'm glad you are. I was silent part of the movie.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the video game was great. Yeah, so yeah, we were talking about that with Dylan too, the video games and see, I'm not a I'm completely like, I'm not a gamer at all. I I the last time it's probably been twenty years since I played a video game. But the reason I've always avoided it since because the last time I played a video game, I was at a friend's house. They actually fell sleep. It was late. I think I started playing the game at like nine pm and next thing I know, four hours has gone by.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the clock at its one am. And I made a decision in that moment, I said, because I've been you know, when I was a kid, I'd spent hours in front of the game system, and I just made a decision in that moment. I put that controller down and I said, I'm never doing this again, and I haven't. I haven't picked up a game controller since it's just so psychologically.
Speaker 10: Addictive, you know, addictive, and then you start to get angry, like I only played the Witcher and sometimes I'm like in the middle and I feel myself with that, like like I gotta I gotta quit. I don't want this. Yeah, but we have a lot of gamer musicians in the community, Like you guys just had mister Goodbars and he does gaming. Axel Bailey does gaming, the drummer of Dead Harrison, and there's a lot of gamers. So I kind of think that this is a cool niche because we're appealing to both movie nerds and gaming.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, the trunks and you know, just a really cool vibe that is going to be tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, at the at the collective, there's because you're you're talking about some of the information and education of musicians. You've got like levels, right, You've got like memberships people can sign up for.
Speaker 10: We have several different memberships, so just the Midnight Creatives Collective has three membership levels, Patron being the one that gives you access to come in and co work with us as artists or you know, whatever you're working on. We have writers to musicians, so anybody could co work in a positive environment. That just is twenty five dollars a month and you can come in anytime that we're open, which is Tuesdays from six pm to eleven pm right now. But we are starting to think about expansion, yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, because there's more people start understanding what's going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 10: And then the next level is the rock star member, which we have two rock star members right now at artists who's a painter and her name is my art by kf Keagan Fitzgerald.
Speaker 2: And we have a writer.
Speaker 10: Her name is Ellie Beach, an author and she does poetry and she also does cosplaying under Aoen of the Shire. So those are our two rock star members. And then we have a VIP level membership which covers everything and where I can use my skills learned as a music business manager and you know, teach them how to basically start from the top, I mean from the bottom and make it to the top with like their evks and their web presence and you know, doing album covers and designing like logos for them and then getting them into video and media and signing them up for the music pros like vm I and ASCA.
Speaker 10: So that's what I do at that VIP level. And we have one musician that I also manage. His name is Rick Everhart and his band is called Six Minds Combined. It's a modern hip hop band. It's a alot of hip hop band. He raps, and he likes to partner with tjs and other musicians and do like, you know, cooperative things. So his first album's coming out and I'm helping him produce the album cover and the booklet, and mister Goodbars at the Toy Box Studio did all the production on the album itself. It's called Issue zero Cool Six Minds Combined.
Speaker 10: Oh okay, you have to keep your eye out for that one. But yeah, we'd love to have more VIP members people who want to you know, grow their band as a business and want to reach that next level in their careers. It's for real people who have a lot of get up and go. If I had to say anything, Dead Harrison was basically my model for this. So everything I did to get Dead Harrison to the level they are now I can use as a like an accomplishment and.
Speaker 2: Repeat it yeah, yeah, oh oh that's excellent.
Speaker 10: I mean I did it with my own band back in the day. So it's you know, kind of just the logical steps of growing a business at this point.
Speaker 5: Yea.
Speaker 10: So those are the three levels, and then if you want Terminus membership, we have kind of two different levels there. We have the regular entry level, which is twenty dollars a month, sorry, fifteen dollars a month, and then you get discounted tickets for Terminus or if you want our via Via Pizza membership which includes pizza with the bands, that's twenty dollars a month, and then you get discounted tickets at the door.
Speaker 2: By the way, did I hear you correctly? Did you say that guy's name was Rick Everhard? Yes?
Speaker 10: It is Rick Everhard, the.
Speaker 2: Eleven year old boy and me love that.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 10: I asked him the first time I knew his name, I was like, is that your real real name?
Speaker 2: And he's like, yes, that's awesome.
Speaker 10: And his middle name I can't remember it, but it makes it even better. Really well, he loves it though.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Rick Everhard.
Speaker 11: It's not short for Richard either, It's Frederick.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, all right, oh wow, oh boy, so spellfee. I don't know much about your background. How did you get involved in all of this? And I don't did you already? Have you known Eleanor and Andre for a long time?
Speaker 12: I met Eleanor and Andre six years ago, a little bit more than six years ago, and we became friends really quickly. We got close really quickly, and I was in Nashua for a little bit, moved down to Massachusetts, and the two of them were two of the only people who came and visited me after I moved. Yeah,
Speaker 12: they're two of my best friends. And so after the passing of our friends Steve last year, we got together and we were talking about dreams and ideas that we had, and then I realized that we had a lot of the same ideas, a lot of the same dreams and goals and plans of things that we wanted to do. So we decided to just combine forces and do it together.
Speaker 2: Did you all? Well, let me ask you the story. Are you a musician? Are you an artist?
Speaker 3: Or you like?
Speaker 2: What do you do?
Speaker 12: I sing, but I'm not in a band. I'm oh, okay, I'm a chicken, but I am working on a starting a project. Sorry, sorry about that. That's but yeah, I've I've got a big passion for music. I grew up music. I came out of the womb singing practically. According to my parents, they they don't like to agree on much, but one of the things that they agree on is that I started singing before I started talking. So I've always loved music, always had a passion for music. I've been asked what the meaning to life was, and I just say music.
Speaker 12: Without it, there's there's no point. Everything is a wave. Everything vibrates. Some waves you can see, some you can hear, yeah, and some you can feel. And just when you get good live music and you just close your eyes and you can feel the waves, the vibration. You're in a out of people and you can feel the energy coming off of all of those people who are also feeling the same vibrational energy.
Speaker 10: That you are.
Speaker 2: It's a good way of describing it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's magic, magic instincts. When it comes to music too. She knows what bands go with what on a bill. She's got really solid because of how she feels.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I literally I just feel the music and I don't just listen. I feel.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned so you sing, but you're not. Have you been in a band?
Speaker 12: I have, I've I did like band classes, I did chorus classes and all that stuff.
Speaker 11: Growing up.
Speaker 12: I grew up my dad's very religious. I grew up in the church. I grew up in children's choir and stuff like that. Very sour to organized religion. So I no longer do that.
Speaker 11: But that was the one thing that I enjoyed about church was singing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. A lot of musicians that's how they that's how they start out learning to sing. Is I shouldn't say a lot, but I've just heard a lot of a lot of people who don't aren't particularly religious, but they but because they came from a religious background, that's something that they did get out of it, at least, you know, an exposure to to singing in choirs and choruses and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 12: Yeah, according to my parents, at six months old, I started singing Jesus Loves Me with my dad.
Speaker 11: And then the first thing that I said I.
Speaker 12: Kind of egotistical, but at the same time not because it wasn't just the word I, it was a whole phrase. I told my dad, I love it, I love you so I guess the story is is my mom would put me and my little baby swing in front of the door. My dad would come home from work and the first thing he would do is put his stuff down and say I love you.
Speaker 11: And so he walked in the door in the first thing I said, I love you.
Speaker 2: Oh, very nice, very nice.
Speaker 12: That was That was my my my story of I started talking before I started Yeah, I started.

Speaker 10: So tonight is our first music and movie night. We're going to be premiering a Silent Hill fan parody film with puppets. So it's called Silent Foul and it is basically the Ryan Lockhart is the filmmaker and the performer and actress, and she's a trans woman and this is her coming out film and night. So she is going to be doing a rap performance. She's an amazing rap battle artist and a rapper, and so she's going to be doing some of that performing as well as premiering her show. And we also have the Megans, a Walking Dead parody band themselves who they are like punk rock and misfit style.
Speaker 10: So a lot of fun, a lot of woes, a lot of haze, a lot of jumping up and down. It's going to be really fun. So we are doing a little bit differently. Ten dollars suggested donation at the door. It is still twenty one plus, bring your candy and a chair to sit on, and I'm and watch a movie and have some fun with us. I'm sure, I'm sorry I should say the time it's started eight?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that is important.
Speaker 10: That is important.
Speaker 2: I'm curious how does something like like an event like this which is so unique, Like, how does something like this happen? Does she approach you because she thinks that this would be a good venue for that, or do you approach her or how does that happen?
Speaker 12: I saw her post online she was like, yeah, check out my movie. I was like, do you want to have a viewing?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 11: Okay, yeah kind of like all right, cool.
Speaker 12: So I talked to these two heroes like, yeah, why don't we put on a movie night at Terminus and show movies made.
Speaker 11: By people that we know.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, And we had gotten a couple of people who are filmmakers interested early on and they came by the open house. Of them was Matt Martino, who's done some b horror films with our friend and resident cannibal Greek Abdon, so we had him come by a couple of times. And then Rod Weber, who is the documentary filmmaker for Vermin Supreme. Oh yeah, so we started talking about, you know, yeah, that there could be a possibility to work with film people here too, given the space, and this is the first time we're trying, and I think it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you Are you doing something with Vermin Supreme.
Speaker 10: Or every time he comes to New Hampshire our house is literally his campaign house at Sporters, So yeah, whenever he comes here, if he comes with his ponies, they're in our yard. In Nashua. Last year he came and did like the Holidays stroll with us and the ponies. It was our first introduction to it. And then you know, I'll be doing something with him if he wants to tour New England. Yeah, I think something might happen in September, but it's still up in the air.
Speaker 2: He actually brings ponies.
Speaker 10: Sometimes, Yep, he does.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're like these many many Shetland ponies, really cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how does he so what? He transports them here in a frock.
Speaker 10: They have friends, they have friends the trailer. Yeah, it's you know, they're from a farm and these are friends and colleagues of Vermin. Yeah, donate the ponies. Wow, I know, it is so cool.
Speaker 2: I love Vermin. I I've interviewed him a few times. Actually, I think Jenny had introduced me to him originally, but but yeah, I've interviewed him a few times over the years. And uh no, very very fun, very fascinating. I didn't realize though, he actually travels sometimes with actual ponies. I mean, talk about committing of the bit. Wow, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10: I never really knew what kind of ponies, and I in my mind, I was thinking, like just the regular sized ponies. But these are little mini ones, so I think it's probably much easier to transport them.
Speaker 2: Probably probably. Wow, that's wild.
Speaker 10: But imagine my surprise when I looked out my window and saw ponies grazing in my yard.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, starstruck. Yeah, I can imagine that.
Speaker 10: I do get starstruck. Even though I've been in this industry since nineteen ninety nine, I still get starstruck.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: And it's mostly weirdly by political people I'm like, but even stars, like even musicians. Sometimes. I got to meet my favorite band, Geared recently. They came and played Terminus
Speaker 10: ihh okay and they're here from They're in Manchester. They're a melodic post metal band with huge, huge cabs and amps. And I was introduced to them in the winter.
