Matt Connarton Unleashed 9-28-23

0:29 You are listening to t lum and eight thirty five point three Get Command God,

0:37 don't get so really Doe Matzille Goti, welllcome everybody, here we go.

1:15 I thought we'd start the show today with some Able Blood, their epic

1:19 track mental note, because their name came up a couple of times on the

1:23 show yesterday. We had Hands of Spite in studio with us yesterday as our

1:26 musical guest, and uh, I think I think they were a referral from

1:32 able Blood and Adam Jocelyn from Able Blood was in the etch Atram, so

1:36 I figured we'd play that track. I know it's a little long, but

1:38 it does to me. It doesn't feel like it. That's an eleven and

1:40 a half minute song, but it's not like uh in a Goda Devita,

1:45 which you know if you listen to the long version, it feels like the

1:48 long version, but no mental note, man, that's uh, you just

1:52 kind of become You just get lost in it, or at least I do.

1:55 So I love that. Welcome Everybody. It is Matt Connerton Unleashed and

1:59 we are five from the studios of wm n H ninety five point three FFM

2:04 and Glorious downtown Manchester, New Hampshire, also on Comcast ninety seven. If

2:07 you're in Manchester, and hello to all of our online listeners across the nation

2:12 and around the globe. You can go to my website Matt Connerton dot com

2:15 for all of your live streaming options, social media links, contact info,

2:19 show archives, etcetera, etcetera. Did I say Comcasts? Did I say?

2:23 Did I slip and say ninety seven again? I meant channel six.

2:25 I can only say six if I actually stop and think about what I'm saying.

2:31 We're on Comcast Channel six in Manchester, not ninety seven. Uh.

2:36 One of these days, I'm gonna I'm gonna one of these weeks, I'm

2:38 gonna go an entire week without getting it wrong. Uh. We speed a

2:42 musical guest. By the way, we have a great musical guest coming up

2:45 today in the second hour, the band After the Winter will be here with

2:50 us in studio and we're gonna play some of their music later and we're gonna

2:53 talk with those guys. I think they're but they won't be here right at

2:57 the top of the hour. I think they're They're Eta. Last I knew

2:59 was about five twenty. Apparently they are stuck in traffic, but they're on

3:02 their way here, so so I'm really looking forward to meeting these Guys' fair

3:07 warning, it's gonna get loud and heavy. They're not gonna play live in

3:12 studio, They're just coming in to talk, but we are going to feature

3:15 some of their music. And I really love it. This this track,

3:17 fourteen hundred BC. It's called and it's so good. It's so good if

3:23 you like that kind of thing. Not everyone's gonna like it. Some people

3:25 don't like the growling vocals, but when done right, I think it sounds

3:30 great. So and these guys do it right. So I'm looking forward to

3:31 meeting them. So they will be here at some point in the second hour,

3:36 so we look forward to that. Let's see. Today is Thursday,

3:38 by the way, so I do want to remind everybody, of course,

3:40 Thursday is Trivia Night at the Hop Knot in the Brady Sullivan right across the

3:46 street at one thousand Elm Street. They've got those delicious gourmet pretzels, they've

3:47 got an assortment of craft beer, and on Thursdays they have trivia Night hosted

3:53 by the Great Broderick Lang. So if you are going to join them,

3:55 though I strongly recommend to you that you call ahead to reserve a spot for

4:02 trivia, because that is a very very popular feature there. Those spots fill

4:09 up very quickly, so call ahead. But unless you're just going to show

4:13 up for some pretzels and beer, in which case no need to call ahead.

4:16 But if you want to reserve your spot for trivia for your team,

4:19 I do suggest calling ahead for trivia night at the hop Knot if you would

4:26 like to join us. Six zo three two five zero six zero seven is

4:29 a studio line six zo three two five zero six zero seven. You can

4:32 also text me at six one seven nine one seven four four seven six.

4:36 I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You can email me Matt at matt

4:44 Connerton dot com, and of course you can interact endo Pine in the Facebook

4:47 live chat. But the best thing to do so that we can hear and

4:49 enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us a call at six three two five

4:55 six zero seven. And by the way, I'm glad I saw this.

5:00 I wish I had seen it sooner, but I'm glad I saw it before

5:01 I got too much further. The hop Knot has posted on social media.

5:05 Trivia is canceled for tonight, but we'll resume next week. But the hop

5:12 Knot is still open four pm to nine pm, so so go go with

5:16 there anyway, enjoy some pretzels and beer. But yes, trivia and night

5:20 tonight is canceled. Don't bother calling ahead. Don't need to call ahead if

5:24 you're just going for pretzels and beer. Let's see. I'm just looking to

5:34 see if there's anything else the Hopknot Scott going on this weekend that I should

5:38 tell you all about. Oh, Saturday night. You know they have live

5:42 music on Saturday Night, the great Kevin Horn, who has been a guest

5:46 on this show. He is going to be performing there, so definitely,

5:51 I think, uh, it doesn't say the time here that he's playing.

5:54 I think I think they usually play seven to nine pm the live musicians on

6:00 Saturdays. But Kevin's amazing when he was on this show, he came in,

6:03 he brought his acoustic guitar, he played a bunch of tunes live for

6:06 us, and just a great guy to really enjoyed talking to him. But

6:10 yeah, go to the Hopnot Saturday night. Say hi to Kevin Horn,

6:14 a great guy and a very talented musician, and he used to be in

6:17 a band called the Stone Road Band, and we occasionally feature some of their

6:20 music on the show too, So really really good stuff. Six o three

6:24 two five six seven six three two five six seven. Eric Street is asking

6:29 in the chat room does the hopknot serve coffee? I don't know. I

6:33 don't remember seeing coffee there. Doesn't mean they don't have it, And I'm

6:40 not really a coffee drinker myself, so it might be that they do.

6:44 You know what. They probably don't though, because you've got A and E

6:46 coffee right next door, and I don't think they necessarily want to. Oh,

6:54 I forgot to mute my phone. That's embarrassing. Happens about once every

6:58 couple of months. I'll forget to me my phone. I'm usually really good

7:00 about that. Yeah, Jenny said in the chat room, I think they

7:03 serve or will get you A and E coffee. John Hopwood says, all

7:09 bars serve coffee. Uh, that is not true, John Hopwood. And

7:14 the reason I happen to know that is because when the last miracle and miracle

7:20 on Elm Street that we did, that was that the bonfire. Uh.

7:29 Jenny tried to get coffee there and there was no coffee to be had.

7:35 Pat told her, Nope, we have no coffee. So John says,

7:41 for obvious reasons. Well, they didn't have it at the bonfire. Uh,

7:45 Jenny says. In the chat room they have an agreement with U oh

7:50 with and D Coffee. The two businesses are super tight. Yeah, so

7:55 they'll they'll they might catch a coffee from A and D, but they don't

7:58 serve. They don't serve their own coffee at the Hopno, So we'll see

8:03 who else we have in the chat room and then we'll get into some stuff.

8:07 Carol Za Warrowitz joins us in the chat. Hello, Carol. Jay

8:11 Fed of course from the great state of Vermont, joins us and says,

8:13 good afternoon everyone. A. Jenny, as I mentioned, is in the

8:16 chat and says shalom peeps. And of course I mentioned John Hopwood is in

8:20 there. Isaac Banks says, hello there, Matt, good afternoon, Hello

8:24 Isaac, Good afternoon, gen coffee. How are you doing, says Isaac

8:28 Banks, easyg Eric Gagnan says happy Friday Eve. Yes, Isaac Banks says,

8:33 I heard you had a band on your show yesterday was hands of spite.

8:37 Is that right, Yes, hands of spite. We're here. Great

8:39 guys. I really enjoyed meeting them, and they played live in studio sounded

8:43 amazing, and we featured some studio tracks as well. Eric Pilcher joins us

8:48 in the Facebook live chat. Of course, you can hear every Friday Eric

8:52 Pilcher's classic film review and this week it is George A. Romero's Night of

8:58 the Living Dead and Shannon is on the line. High Shannon, Hello,

9:03 Hey, I think all bars or whatever should should have a little jar of

9:09 instant at least coffee, because maybe somebody goes in these places, you know,

9:16 for the atmosphere and not the beer. Yeah, I'm saying I do

9:22 if you're not a drinker, but you want to be there and participate and

9:26 whatever. Sure, yeah, so there, okay, okay, uh yeah,

9:35 I'm saving something for tomorrow. Oh all right, Well we will Friday,

9:39 Well we will wait with bated breath, bated breath whatever that means.

9:45 I've never understood that expression of what it means either look it up. Well,

9:50 right, Shannon, but didn't you get you didn't get Matt Juno's my

9:54 mother is still camera in there? Huh. You didn't listen in the morning

10:00 show. Huh, I heard part of it. I don't know what you're

10:03 talking about. They were talking about having a murder mystery thing. And you

10:05 know, I have to I don't like fancy pants haters out there. I

10:11 don't have a house in a garage and a pool and walls that are thick

10:18 that I can drank my music at seven o'clock in the morning. So you

10:22 know, I don't have a phone attached to my hip either, so it

10:26 takes me a while to get to the phone. And but you know,

10:28 but anyway, I had said, uh, a riddle rap is it?

10:37 Okay? I know you know this quote or at least hoppy does I know

10:41 this much? A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside of an enigma? Yep,

10:50 I've heard that. I just I just found out who coined that phrase,

10:54 just like a few months ago. I didn't realize that. Okay,

10:58 Church show, right, did he right? All right? I have no

11:03 idea. I've never looked it up. I couldn't tell you. And and

11:07 it well what I had hurt right, I was greeting said that he had

11:11 said that, and it was in regards to Russia. Now if that's not

11:18 right. Then it's not right. But if it is good and hoppy,

11:20 you will tell you if he's in there, John Hoppitt isn't there. He

11:24 said it was Chubby Checker. Who Chubby Checker? I think he says it

11:31 in the twist? Yeah, not not the original twist, but in let's

11:35 twist, you know, let's twist again like we did last summer. It's

11:41 a riddle wrapped in in the enigma side of mystery? Huh. How's happy

11:46 doing? I have no idea. I call him hoppy. I didn't ask

11:50 him. I hope he's I hope he's well though. Of course we all

11:52 do well, not all of us, but most of us do it.

11:56 Hm. Well, sometimes he's cheerful, sometimes he's grumpy, but we love

12:01 him. We do love him. Everybody's grumpy sometimes. Mmmm. That's for

12:07 Robbio. This morning, he's he's got to take a day off. Why

12:13 is that? Because well, either the sound was off or he was hitting

12:18 those keys hard, because I don't know, I don't know which, but

12:24 he wasn't. He wasn't. I could just tell he wasn't playing himself.

12:28 He wasn't himself today. Mmmm? Who was he? He was someone else

12:33 that's set up. Probably I don't know, tired once a break, doesn't

12:41 need flack, and once to get his job done, okay, once in

12:45 a while. I don't know. I can't speak for him. Nope.

12:48 Is he in there? Nope. I haven't seen him face the Book of

12:52 Faith. I haven't seen his name, okay, because I don't want to

12:56 think or feel for people either, right, don't think or feel for people.

13:01 No, you can feel for someone, but don't don't I hate it

13:05 with someone? Oh I figured, I guess I saw it. Don't do

13:09 that, right, don't figure guests or think that's what you're saying. Right,

13:15 ask the question. Don't assume another word. M So, what you

13:20 got going on today? Oh? Just doing a radio show? And who's

13:26 playing to Oh that's why you met. After the winter, we'll be here

13:31 after. They're not playing live, they're just coming into talk and we're going

13:35 to feature some of their music. And who's playing with the marsh code or

13:39 or guitar string or something. I don't know that. No, see,

13:45 I can't sense it is over again? What was that? I don't know

13:52 what you're talking about, Shannon. You don't hear that. I hear so

14:00 I hear a horrible phone connection with a lot of static. How about no,

14:07 No, I don't well I heard, uh, I heard a couple

14:09 of clicks. Was someone tapping your phone? Yes, well that's not good.

14:20 No, it's just no and and I just wanted to say, I

14:24 know he didn't take it this way, but bad another word. But I

14:28 just I had his back. I was just you know, I didn't know

14:33 if he's that is the weather a lot, he'd not easily have to stay

14:37 high and bye bye, okay, all right, Shannon, right, good

14:41 bye, al right, bye bye, all right, Well that was Shannon.

14:52 Uh six O three two five zero six zero seven is the studio line.

14:56 If you'd like to call us six zero three two five six zero seven.

15:03 Uh, please no loud sounds into the phone, though, if we

15:07 could, uh, let's see, oh we're getting a call. Let's see,

15:15 all right, welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Who's this? I thought

15:18 that Eric Pulture calls? Then after I do you can get a trifect a

15:24 trifecta of what uh you can fill in the enigma of the trifecta. Okay,

15:35 hey, is it true that ugly fat Joe the slob has been calling

15:41 your show. You know. Well I heard him the like a couple of

15:45 weeks ago or three weeks ago. But did he really call in like just

15:50 yesterday or the day before that. Oh, he calls now and then.

15:52 But we don't really, we don't talk about him. I made promises that

15:56 we don't. We don't talk about him when he's not when he's not joining

16:00 us. So yeah, that's flatulent during personal calls as he is on his

16:07 own. Don't worry, don't worry about him. What else is on your

16:12 mind? John? I don't know, but somebody sent me a clip of

16:22 somebody we were not going to was on the do not talk about list,

16:26 and it just brought back gold antagonisms. You know, Oh, I see,

16:32 I see, Yes, I understand. Is there anything going on in

16:41 politics today? No? Nothing. I can't believe how Paul, how boring

16:45 politics as these days? There's just nothing. Yeah, there was really no,

16:51 not really No. There was a Republican debate last night. There was,

16:57 yes, a a vice presidential slash looking for a cabinet position in the

17:02 Trump administration. Debate. Very exciting, lots of people talking over each other

17:07 and interrupting each other, very productive, learned a lot some quarters of the

17:15 media trying to push Nicky Haley. Has she got any traction in the polls,

17:21 I mean the New Hampshire primaries in January, January fourteenth or the twenty

17:26 sixth, I'm not quite sure. Maybe Eric Kiltrick in Collin because Ayah was

17:32 just before that, and I know he's getting ready for the caucuses. Caucus.

17:37 You hardly know us. I don't even know not to caucuses, right,

17:44 No, not kiddy, I don't even know. Are we still first?

17:48 I know the DNC wants South Carolina to go first. I don't even

17:52 know what the status of that is at this point. According to sources,

17:59 there's not going in New Hampshire primary for Democrats because the DNC is demanding it

18:06 be held at a certain time, right, and the Republican primary is going

18:11 on first in the nation primary after the Iowa caucuses, which should have been

18:18 gotten rid of. Sorry Eric Pilcher, because they're just a debacle. Oh,

18:22 I don't think. I don't. I don't. I don't think he'd

18:23 argue with you. I don't think he'd argue with you. He's participated in

18:27 that before. He also, I think he's used the word debacle in fact,

18:33 but from what I'm hearing and nobody's talking about, uh, you know,

18:41 the Secretary of State is only going to be running the Secretary of State

18:45 of New Hampshire, which runs election, is only going to be running on

18:49 New Hampshire primary day because that's state law. So if the Democrats, because

18:56 of the DNC, have their primary after Nevada, I think for the New

19:03 Hampshire becomes third in the primaries, I think we're supposed to be on a

19:08 Saturday. It's really it's all screwing because you know, Joe Biden never did

19:15 well in New Hampshire, came in fifth in twenty twenty, and you know

19:18 he's strong armed the party into getting his way. He's not going to be

19:26 on the ballot new Hampshire. Our old friend RFK Junior now says he's going

19:32 to run as their Libertarians. Wait, wait, his on the he is

19:37 running as a Democrat. I was gonna say. He hasn't announced switching to

19:41 libertarian, although I know there is a there is a rumor that he might.

19:48 Well, he's already talked to the head of the Libertarian Party. Yeah,

19:53 and that's who he is. He's ignored the two hundred Democrats in the

19:59 state House. People that aren't in New Hampshire and need understand that everybody in

20:03 New Hampshire has been has either been a state Rep. Like your significant other,

20:11 or know somebody it's directly related to one, yes, or has slept

20:18 with one, or you know at least four hundred at least out a conversation

20:23 with one at the very least. Yeah. And one of the benefits of

20:30 being a state Rep in New Hampshire there isn't much. You only get two

20:34 hundred, one hundred dollars a year and you have to pop up eighty four

20:38 bucks, you know for various things your license, played this and map,

20:42 so you get fourteen bucks a year. Is during the quadrannie of New Hampshire

20:48 presidential primary presidential candidates, will you know lobby you? Of course yes,

20:56 And incredibly RK Jr. Has had nothing to do with any Democrats. And

21:02 like I said before, you know he hired a right wing Republican MAGA congressman's

21:08 ex wife. They live in Maine. They originally from Orange County, California,

21:12 which is notorious for a John Birch society. He came out of the

21:17 math and they hire he hired right wing I call him anarchists, anarcho libertarian

21:25 Republicans to be in his campaign. I mean, it's just what we'd call

21:30 in the army, a cluster, you know. But the funny thing is

21:36 there is nobody's talking except Arnie Arnisson. Arnie Arniston is the only person talking

21:41 about the Democrats. I guess I have to hold the primary according to the

21:48 DNC because they don't want to cross Biden in the DNC because they hold the

21:53 money. Look what they did the Carol scha Port or a congressman, incumbent

21:57 congresswoman many years ago. They just withheld money from there. Why what was

22:03 there? Why did they withhold money? They said that she wasn't going to

22:10 win, and then she bost by like ten times in votes. Remember her

22:12 and Frank ginto the old Congress. Yeah, I do remember that. Yes,

22:21 but you notice no dem We the of the four people that represent in

22:23 New Hampshire in Congress, two in the House and two in the Senate,

22:30 none of them were talking about this. But according to Arnie Arnison, Secretary

22:33 of State's not going to hold a primary just for the Democrats. It's really

22:37 hard to get information on all this well, I know that, I know

22:41 the state law is and the second part of this I didn't know until recently.

22:45 But obviously, so we have a state law that says we have to

22:48 go first. But the other part of that law is that you cannot split

22:52 the primary, so both the Democratic and the Republican primaries have to happen simultaneously.

22:57 I don't know why would this Acretary of statehold two primaries, right money

23:03 that would cause oh yeah, absolutely. I don't know if there are any

23:06 states that that split it up, actually, But because that's part of what

23:11 has fascinated me about this whole conundrum is that it seems to me that for

23:18 New Hampshire to allow somebody else to go first, everybody has to be on

23:22 board. And why would the Republicans go along with that? The Republicans aren't

23:26 going to go along with that. Governor Sanna is not going to go along

23:29 with that just because the DNC says so. So then what happens? You

23:33 know, Well, Matt, I'm glad you asked, because I'm going to

23:37 call up the Secretary of State's office on Monday, because you know, Friday,

23:41 you know, that's a good day to take off, particularly in your

23:45 bureaucrat. I mean, it's so boring even you know, you get used

23:51 to those two to three hour days. By the time Friday roles are on

23:56 you screw it right us in the army and you know, kind of kind

24:00 of deureaucratic job. And Monday, maybe Tuesday would be the best time you'll

24:07 be there. Tuesday, when should you take your car and to get it

24:11 fixed? Friday? You know what, the fixing it they'll screw up.

24:15 Monday they'll probably be coming off through a long drunk. You know, Tuesday,

24:18 Wednesday seems to be okay, Tuesday, Wednesday. What about Thursday?

24:23 Today's Thursday? Why not today? Yeah, it's a little too late because

24:30 until I started listening to Washan and I didn't even think about this, right,

24:33 you know, because it was Chubby Checker was actually talking about the new

24:37 AMBS or primary, which is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in

24:44 the soul of all you know what, Chuck berries, Oh, I thought

24:48 you were gonna say the soul of America part of the lyrics song on one

24:55 of your shows by yet another person we can't talk about well, called them

24:59 Chubby Checkers, the famous Checkers stage right oh yeah, Christ. You know,

25:07 I don't mean to bring the Lord's name in vain on the crucifix the

25:14 other day with you know, being a Protestant, we don't have crucifixes.

25:18 We just have crosses. We don't have like the bleeding, broken body of

25:22 Jesus on the cross, uh, in our depictions. But this is something

25:32 we got to figure out. Oh you didn't know that Protestants don't have the

25:34 crucifix. No, I had no idea. Yeah, I consider a crucifix

25:41 is across with Christ hanging on it. You know. When I was a

25:45 kid, everybody's a Catholic. In Manchester, there were four Protestants the entire

25:49 city, you know, which I was one of them, and they used

25:52 to have those bleeding realistic ones, really literally gory. Yeah. Yeah,

26:02 but I'm just babbling now. I think got caught a disease or something.

26:07 Oh no, it's it's time to shuttle me out with some like some soft

26:11 music or something. Oh, we will, we will get to the We

26:18 gotta find out what's happening. Is there going to be a balance? Yeah?

26:22 Never registered democrat, I keep yeah, I keep wondering about this.

26:29 Yeah, Arnie's a good person. I'm sure she knows that she's talking about.

26:34 But good god, you know ye okay, Matt, you know,

26:42 okay, hohm all right, John, Well, I appreciate the call.

26:48 Yes, it seems to be a brain fog. It seemed to come over

26:52 me. Oh that's all right, you're fine. Well, you did say

26:56 you think you might have caught a disease, so you should probably seek medical

26:59 attention. Yes, I was really looking at the Drudge Report. That was

27:03 enough to make anybody diseased. I understand. But yeah, we're not going

27:10 to talk about La grand darrage, all right, John, certainly that was

27:15 that was Rusty stab, the old Montreal outfielder. Oh okay, I know

27:22 it means means different things. Okay. I'm sorry I didn't call in and

27:30 complain about the horrifying Red Sox uniforms when Kyle was on the show. But

27:36 you know, please give me some credit for some self restraint and I didn't.

27:41 Good for you. Yes, we're very proud. We're very proud of

27:45 you. Take care, all right, John, Thanks for the call.

27:48 Bye bye. All right. That was the great John Hopwood or John C.

27:52 Hopwood, And that opens up the line for you. Six zero three

27:56 two five zero six zero seven six zero three two five zero six zero seven

28:00 if you would like to join us and we'll catch up with the Facebook live

28:03 chat here as well. John also would be posted in the Facebook live chat.

28:07 I'm watching Morton Downey Junior right now multitasking. I saw Morton Downey Junior

28:12 live. It was I think it was that kind of the height of his

28:15 fame with the Morton Downey Junior show. Of course, Cisco's way back,

28:18 and he actually did a tour. He took the show on tour and he

28:22 went to the Capitol what was it called at that time, because they changed

28:30 the name at one point, the Capitol Theater and Conquered and yeah, he

28:34 would base and it was basically just his It was very similar to his television

28:40 show, but just a live show on stage. And he had this bit

28:44 where somebody would come out on stage and they would pretend to be a local

28:49 city official and they would read to him this thing about please keep your language

28:55 clean, we don't want any profanity, and then uh like, mort would

29:00 grab the paper out of their hand and swear at them and then crumple up

29:03 the paper and throw it at them. And apparently he did that show,

29:08 John Hopwood said in the chat room too, I was just listening to Howard

29:11 Stern on a Monday show Belch and B and s ob while talking about Dana

29:18 Plato killing herself after being on his show the previous Friday. The prerogatives of

29:23 the earstwhile king of all Media, Isaac Banks says, good afternoon. Hashtag

29:32 Eric Pilcher, how are you doing? Maybe you can do another movie review

29:36 of nineteen eighty seven Ruskies. I don't even know that movie starring Whip Hubbly

29:42 Leaf Phoenix before he was Joaquin Phoenix and Susan Walters. M alrighty, I'm

29:53 sure Eric will take that under advisement. Isaac Banks all so suggested, Hi

30:00 hashtag Grik Pilcher, you have the list of the movie review of nineteen eighty

30:04 eights Jack's Back, right, Yeah, I still don't know that. I

30:10 still don't know that movie. Let's see. John Hopwood says. Arms control

30:22 advocates fear the worst and worry existing guardrails offer insufficient checks given the existential risks.

30:29 Critics call self operating weapons killer robots or slaughter bots because they are powered

30:34 by artificial intelligence and can technically operate independently to take out targets without human help.

30:41 That does sound frightening. Isaac Banks says, Oh, now you're talking

30:48 Isaac Banks. He says, Matt Connerton, I've seen a film of the

30:52 movie of Revenge of the Nerds three. The next generation is late Martin Downey.

30:59 Oh, Martin Downey Junior is in that movie. I don't remember that.

31:00 I don't know if i've even I loved the first movie when I was

31:03 a kid. Uh, and the second one I thought was okay, and

31:06 then it kind of degraded over time. But uh, let's see. Shannon

31:15 is back on the line. High Shannon, Hello, Hello. I'm sorry

31:18 if I put Hoppy into a trance or something. But sometimes, you know,

31:26 I've said this before. You don't you don't learn if you don't ask.

31:32 And I was just wondering if you know. I figured I know the

31:36 people that are on the Book of Face. I don't know why, but

31:41 I think that John Hopper would know about if if Churchill had said that,

31:45 or aren't it It's it's not like threatening that I need to know. And

31:49 well, I'm glad not life threatening. That's that's good. I think I

31:56 think it's it's a mystery wrapped in a riddle and side of an enigma yep,

32:04 or a riddle. Yeah, So anyway, I think it's it's them

32:07 I put it. If you put it in an MRI formed, then then

32:08 you know, you know what mystery something about an MRI. Yes, mystery

32:15 and for mystery are for riddle? I do you spell a enigma? Another?

32:22 Was it not? And I? Uh? Enigma would be with an

32:24 e? Hey, Mr Reeves? Why not? All right? Who?

32:30 By bye bye? All right? Oh, I got a request. Maybe

32:34 he could, maybe Eric Culture could do a scent of a woman, or

32:38 trouble with the curve with Clint Eastwood. Perhaps he perhaps he will perhaps irambulate.

32:50 Okay, all right, thank you all. She's so loud when she

32:54 hangs up. That didn't used to happen? Six zero three two five six

33:00 seven six h three two five six seven And we have a call. Hi,

33:06 welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Does this? It's John C. Hopwood?

33:12 Oh, John C. Hopwood? How are you? I was talking

33:14 to John Hopwood earlier. This is a coincidence. The sea is for Churchill,

33:19 Oh, John Churchill Hopwood. I like the sound of that. Yes,

33:24 it was Winston Spencer Churchill who said of Russia that it was a riddle

33:34 rep to a mystery inside in the Enigma in nineteen thirty nine when Russia was

33:38 trying to sound up the West for an alliance with Hitler against Hitler before signing

33:46 on in August with Hitler, and then you know, carving up Poland with

33:52 Hitler. But you know that's politics, right. Incidentally, as I said

34:00 countless times on your show, Winston Spencer Churchill is my seventeenth cousins through the

34:07 Spencer's Diana is my princess. Diana Spencer is my nineteenth cousin, and I

34:15 actually met her father it was my eighteenth cousin, not knowing that he was

34:20 my eighteenth cousin. So I think that gives me a certain sense of authority.

34:25 Like when I talk about vertically challenged people and called the midgets, which

34:30 I just found out from Wikipedia, you can't use the word midget anymore.

34:37 The correct term nows dwarf. Yes, I believe. I believe that term

34:42 became politically incorrect and unacceptable in nineteen eighty nine, I believe was the year.

34:51 Yeah, it seems like a midget, because you know there's midget submarines.

34:54 They're midget midget this is that? Do you think that would be the

34:58 non pejord a word? And dwarfs makes some sound like something of the Hobbit,

35:05 But of course the Hobbit was big box office making billions of dollars.

35:09 So who to funk it? Right? I know it's such a tangled Webb

35:15 the Spencer family. Yes, I just want to say Winston Spencer Churchill was

35:20 a fascist, Mdr. The man who saved the West and the greatest man

35:28 of the twentieth century. I also put people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King

35:34 Junior up there too, but you know they didn't have to deal with Hitler

35:38 died so he couldn't write his version of the war. So Churchill, who

35:44 was a great writer they'd been writing since he was in his twenties and won

35:47 the Nobel Prize for Literature by the war, could rewrote the war with himself

35:52 as the hero. But he was an old fart and an old fascist,

35:58 even if he is one of my kinsman, And would that I just say,

36:05 Eric Culture, why haven't you called in yet? By all right?

36:08 Bubby Doda, Yes, all right, very good. I would just like

36:14 to say speaking of Spencer as I was always a big fan of Laura Spencer,

36:17 the character played by Jeanie Francis on General Hospital and the inspiration for the

36:23 song Think of Laura by Christopher Cross. Hans Smith of Sepsis in the chat

36:29 Room says, I had the great honor of meeting Robert Downey Junior when he

36:32 was when they were making the film The Judge in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts,

36:38 and the one funny thing when a crowd was forming, he said, you

36:43 all are normal. We all just started cracking up. Jay fed in the

36:47 chat Room, of course, from the great state of Vermont says, what

36:51 is going on today? John Hopwood says, we'll talk about Laura Spencer tomorrow.

36:57 Oh how exciting, very good. Yes, uh yeah. It was

37:00 a whole big thing. You know, they thought she was dead. The

37:01 thing is she she was dead, but in soap operas, if you've never

37:06 watched or seen a soap opera, no one ever really dies. They they

37:12 come back to life eventually, there's a big you know, there's a big

37:15 storyline where it turns out they weren't really dead. And that was something that

37:21 General Hospital used, a trope that they used quite a bit, but I

37:23 think all soap operas used that trope to the extent that there are still soap

37:28 operas. I think General Hospital might be the last man standing. Hans Smith

37:32 says, I grew up on General Hospital L O L. Yes, Yes,

37:36 I got hooked on it when I was a kid. I'm not I

37:37 don't watch it currently, but I did for a long time. I blame

37:43 my mother for that. She got me hooked on it. One summer.

37:45 John Hopwood said, I was watching General Hospital when Reagan was shot. Oh

37:50 wow, yeah, all right, we uh see. I don't know.

38:01 I think the band is going to be a little bit late, so we

38:04 might run long on this segment and we'll when they get here, we'll get

38:08 them settled in. We'll play a track and show some love to our sponsors.

38:12 But or John says, or maybe I was watching it when the reports

38:15 from the hospital came in. I first watched it in the early nineteen sixties.

38:21 And Hans says, mister Rick Springfield, what a dude. Yes,

38:23 he played Noah Drake John General Hospital. Let's look at now. I did

38:30 mention. I did refer to the Republican debate last night. Lots of people

38:37 talking over each other, lots of people interrupting. I don't know if it's

38:43 going to be mentioned. I've got a story here from NPR six takeaways from

38:50 from the Republican Debate. Just a couple of the observations I have Nicki Haley

38:54 probably had the best night. I think that although she got personal with the

39:00 Vake Ramaswami, not the first time. I think we saw this in the

39:05 previous debate too, saying something about I feel dumber every time I hear you

39:09 talk, or something like that. She just is not having it with him.

39:16 I thought Chris Christie said something I found very cringe. Oh, let

39:22 me see if I could actually find the find the clip. I mean,

39:28 I thought the way Chris Christie, what he did at the end of the

39:30 night, I thought was I thought was pretty good. But there was a

39:39 comment earlier he was talking about Trump, and I don't know if I'll even

39:45 be able to find this right away. I should have had a cute up.

39:50 But basically, let me see. Oh, I think this is it.

40:00 Let's see. Okay, So this is this is all the instances of

40:07 Donald Trump taking fire during the debate last night, and needless to say,

40:13 it's a short clip, because you know they all tiptoe around Trump for not

40:16 they all literally of course Chris Christie does not. Ron de Santa's actually went

40:21 on on Trump at one point. I was surprised by it. But here

40:23 this is about a minute long. This is from the Guardian. This is

40:27 all the times that Trump took fire last night. But the Chris Christie there's

40:31 there's something Chris Christie said that sounded so rehearsed. It actually came across as

40:37 very cringe, even though I agreed with the substance of what he was saying.

40:40 But here, let me play this. We've got to bring long and

40:43 order back to this country, and not just in our cities, but we

40:46 need to long and order back everywhere. We need law on order back in

40:50 our suburbs. People are threatened there. We needed in our rural areas people

40:52 feel threatened there, and we need in Washington TC also. And Donald Trump

40:57 should be here to answer for that, but he's not. And I want

40:59 to looking at the camera right now, tell you, Donald, I know

41:01 you're watching. You can't help yourself. I know you're watching, okay,

41:06 and you're not here tonight, not because of polls and not because if your

41:09 indictments. You're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage and

41:15 defending your record. You're ducking these things. And let me tell you what's

41:17 gonna happen you keep doing that. No one up here is gonna call you

41:21 Donald Trump anymore. We're gonna call you Donald duck. Where's Joe Biden?

41:24 Oh God, that's cringe. I hated that we're gonna call you Donald duck.

41:30 Oh dude, you know what it reminded me of. It reminded me

41:35 of immediately. And I'm not even gonna try to find this right now.

41:38 But during the during the twenty sixteen Republican debates, when Chris Christy was being

41:45 attacked for the hug, the hug with Obama when Obama came after Hurricane Sandy,

41:51 when Obama came to survey the damage in New Jersey, and by the

41:53 way, the hug that never actually happened, but it was repeated so many

41:58 times by various people that at the end of the visit that Christy and Obama

42:02 hugged that I actually have a mental image of it in my mind. But

42:07 it's like Mandela affects stuff. It never actually happened. There was you know,

42:12 there was a firm handshake, of course, but because Chris Christie,

42:16 you know, he did say he thanked Obama for visiting, and he and

42:21 he said after the fact, he said, look, you know, the

42:23 President and I we disagree on many things. But you know, this was

42:28 months later. He said, you know, the President came through with every

42:30 single promise that he made to me that day about how the federal government was

42:35 going to help us. He delivered on everything he promised. And I appreciate

42:37 that, you know, being like a mature adult instead of the standard politician.

42:43 So but then he took he was still taking flak for that during the

42:47 twenty sixteen Republican debates, and he goes, uh, so to try to

42:53 try to deflect all of that, he tried to get aggressive about Obama,

42:58 even though Obama wasn't on the ballot obviously because it was at the end of

43:02 his second term. But he goes and and come in, uh, you

43:06 know, and come in this November, we're gonna kick you out of office,

43:08 President Obama, like trying to be all tough, big tough guy.

43:12 Then it's like, well, yeah, dude, Obama's leaving anyway. It'll

43:16 be the end of his second term. You don't have to kick him out.

43:21 He'll leave voluntarily, unlike somebody else we've seen since then, he'll leave

43:24 voluntarily. But Chris, he's like, oh, we're gonna get you know.

43:29 So it's but yeah, that Donald Duck thing very very cringe. Uh.

43:34 It just sounded so rehearsed, and it was it's just lame. Anyway,

43:40 there's a little more so there's a part here where to see. And

43:44 by the way, it's not that I disagree with the substance of what Chris

43:46 Christy said. I do agree. I just didn't like that the Donald Duck

43:51 thing that ruined it, all right, And it just sounds and it's obvious

43:54 that he rehearsed it. Okay, here's here's the rest of this. Where's

43:58 Joe Biden. He's completely missing an action from leadership, and you know who

44:01 else is missing an action? Donald Trump is missing an action. He ooh,

44:07 now this surprised me. This did surprise me. Should be on this

44:10 stage tonight. He owes it to you to defend and he got some applause

44:15 for that and his record where they added seven point eight trillion to the debt

44:22 and that was it. Although that actually wasn't it, because there was so

44:31 the Guardian missed something here when they put this short clip together. Because at

44:37 the end of the debate, let me see if I can find the other

44:43 thing that Chris Christie did at the end of the night, they uh,

44:57 no, it showed up in the search, which means I'm not the only

44:59 one looking for it today. Yeah, I can't find the clip. I

45:02 should have had it ready. I didn't know if I was going to talk

45:05 about this or not. At the end of the night, one of the

45:07 moderators said, okay, so you know you've all got a mark or a

45:10 sharpie and paper in front of you. I want you all to write down

45:15 who would you vote off the island if you could vote anyone on this stage,

45:21 because you know Trump is the front runner and he's probably going to be

45:24 the nominee. I don't remember who said it, and they probably put it

45:28 a little more delicately that I am. I'm paraphrasing, but basically it was

45:32 Trump's going to be the nominee. You all know it. But if you

45:36 could vote someone on this stage off of the island, who would you vote

45:39 off? Now? Run to Santa spoke up first, and said something like,

45:44 oh, this is childish. You know what, what do you want

45:47 us to do this for? This is silly. I don't particularly disagree with

45:52 him, to be honest with you. But then nobody, nobody wanted to

45:57 answer. Everybody got really uncomfortable. But then Chris Christie seized on the moment

46:02 and he said, well, you know who we should vote off the island

46:06 is Donald Trump. And then he went on this rant about how basically he

46:09 said, I respect every man and woman on the stage who showed up tonight

46:13 to this debate. And you know who didn't show up. You know who

46:15 doesn't have enough respect for you the voters to show up and you the viewers,

46:20 Donald Trump. So I say, let's vote him off the island.

46:23 But it was it was pretty good in the moment, and and nobody else

46:28 really got a chance to say anything at that point, but they were also

46:31 terrified at the question to begin with. So I thought that was interesting.

46:36 Oh that Donald duck thing is hard to get over, though. That was

46:37 awful. John Hopwot in the chat room says the YETI is fat shaming again.

46:42 No, no, no, no no. There are things I like

46:45 about Chris Christie, but there are also things, but I'll never trust him

46:49 for one thing, because I think he knew, absolutely knew about Bridgegate.

46:52 And there's also a lot of issues where I disagree with him. But but

46:54 the Donald Duck thing, that's almost unforgivable. Almost I'll forgive him if we

47:00 can get him on the show. If you'd like to come in here and

47:04 governor, if you'd like to come in here and sit down with us,

47:06 I'll I'll treat a fair I promise, and I will forgive you for the

47:08 Donald Duck comment. Oh that was so cringe. Chris Rose from the Commonwealth

47:15 of Massachusetts joins us in the chat room, and Jay fed says he needs

47:19 to be voted off the island. Yes, who Chris Christy. No,

47:23 no, no, we can't. We can't vote him off. No,

47:27 but but listen again, like I always talk about, none of you know,

47:31 it's it's a I thought the debate was kind of an S show.

47:37 A lot of talking over each other, a lot of interrupting, a lot

47:40 of arguing. But it was great theater, and that's all it is.

47:44 None of these people are going to be the Republican nominee. It's going to

47:46 be Trump. I don't know why anyone was surprised that he wasn't there.

47:52 I remember leading up to the debate, there was all this old you know,

47:54 is he gonna at last minute? Is he gonna say I'm in.

47:58 He's got a lot long standing feud with the Reagan Library, which is where

48:02 the debate was last night, And I don't remember how it started, but

48:07 he's got a long standing feud with them. If you recall, in twenty

48:10 sixteen, he skipped that debate too, because they always do a Republican debate

48:16 at the Reagan Library during the primaries, you know, when there's a Republican

48:21 primary to be had, of course, when there's not an incumbent in office

48:23 or Republican incumbent, and a Trump skipped it in twenty sixteen too. I

48:29 think he had a rally somewhere instead, so there was no chance he was

48:32 going to be at this one. The Oh my goodness, I just got

48:38 an alert. Somebody's posted a video the End Times is now. Oh.

48:44 I've heard that a lot about the End Times being today or tomorrow or yesterday.

48:51 But and yes, it is someone I know, and many of the

48:54 listeners are familiar with who apparently posted that video about the end times. So,

49:00 uh, you know, none of these people on that stage last night

49:02 are going to be the nominee. I think that you know, well who

49:12 was there? So Will Hurd wasn't there again, second debate in a row,

49:16 he didn't qualify for But I think of the people who were there,

49:27 I think that it was it was seven candidates who else didn't make it.

49:32 So just just quickly, so here's who was there, from left to right,

49:39 because that's how the picture as I'm looking at. So you've got North

49:43 Dakota Governor Doug Bergham, who I thought had a better night than in the

49:45 first debate. In the first debate, he seemed a little nervous, maybe

49:50 not ready for prime time. Last night he seemed more confident, more focused.

49:53 H former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Of course, I don't know

49:59 what his plan and is long term. Again, all of these people,

50:01 look, they're all smart people. Every single one of these people realizes they're

50:06 not going to be the nominee. But there are many other reasons to run

50:08 for president. Right, you want to be a veep, you want you

50:12 know, and then so you can eventually be president. Right, you want

50:15 to beat you want a cabinet position, you want your own cable news show.

50:19 You're trying to sell your book, You're trying to raise your national profile

50:24 so that you can charge more money in speaking fees. You're going to run

50:29 for president again in the future, and this is a test run, and

50:31 you're making connections and all that, right, So it could be any any

50:36 number of reasons why you would run for president knowing that you have zero chance

50:39 of winning. Chris Christie, I think he might want his own cable news

50:43 show. He's very good on television. It would make sense. Former UN

50:46 Ambassador and of course former Governor Nicky Haley definitely not going to be Trump's veep

50:52 or have a cabinet position. She's already been there, done that. I

50:57 think that she's probably going to on again in twenty twenty eight. This is

51:01 the prelude to that. Florida Governor Ron de Santis, of course, I

51:07 think is probably running in twenty twenty eight. This is the prelude to that.

51:10 Vavake Ramaswamy, I think he likes being famous, not a serious person

51:17 as a candidate. I've talked about how you know he comes across to me

51:23 as the way I just perceive him. He seems like a crypto bro who's

51:29 really excited because he just drank a couple of red bulls and he's about to

51:31 hit one hundred thousand subscribers on YouTube and he's very excited. That's how he

51:36 comes across to me, Senator Tim Scott. I do think Tim Scott might

51:42 be a potential veep for Trump and or possibly a cabinet position in his future

51:50 and a Trump administration. So of course, former Vice President Mike Pence,

51:55 that one's obvious. He's selling his book. He's got a book to sell,

52:00 he's selling it. This is a book tour for him. He knows

52:01 he's not going to be the nominee, and he's obviously not going to serve

52:05 in the administration. And if Trump wins in some other fashion, And that

52:09 was everybody, you know, and as as always, everybody tiptoes around Trump

52:15 except for Chris Christie and De Santis. Like I said, he took that

52:21 one shot. Oh I remember, now, who wasn't there Former Arkansas Governor

52:27 Asa Hutchinson because in the previous debate there were eight, so he didn't qualify

52:31 for this one. So maybe he'll be the first to drop out. Or

52:34 Will Hurd, who again didn't qualify for this one. John Hopwood brings up

52:39 a good point. They live high on the hog while they're campaigning, spending

52:44 the campaign cash on five star restaurants. Yes, that's a great point.

52:50 Yeah, and it looks like fun. Yeah. You get to eat at

52:52 five star restaurants and meet a lot of important people and have a good time

52:57 and give speeches, and you get to go to ates where you say a

53:00 lot of stuff that you can't you know, make promises you can't fulfill and

53:05 whatnot, even if you get elected. But you can say whatever you want

53:07 to because you're no, you're not going to be elected, because you're not

53:09 even going to win the nomination. So you know, there are other reasons

53:15 to run for president. And it does look like fun. Let's look at

53:17 this. This is from NPR six takeaways from the second GOP debate. Primary

53:25 debates are about winnowing down the field of candidates to land on the eventual nominee

53:30 for a major party. The winnowing process continued at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library

53:35 and Semi Valley, California, where seven Republicans showed up ready to fight.

53:37 By the way, not to be critical of this article on NPR dot org.

53:44 But no, this, this series of debates is not about winnowing down

53:50 candidates to land on a nominee. The nominee is going to be Donald Trump.

53:52 That's not an opinion, that's not a prediction. That's a fact.

53:55 We all know it again, and they're all running for and they all know

54:00 it. Every single one of those people on the debate stage they know it

54:04 too. So they're all running for other reasons. So it says here just

54:10 seven candidates took part in this debate, down from the eight last month in

54:14 Milwaukee after former governor of Arkansas, Governor Asa Hutchinson failed to qualify. This

54:21 time, there's less than four months before the first nominating contest in Iowa on

54:24 jan fifteen. By the way, do you remember in twenty sixteen there were

54:30 so many candidates who were qualifying. See, the RNC has really moved the

54:35 goalposts here to make it harder. There were so many candidates in twenty sixteen

54:38 running for the Republican nomination that they had, at least for the first few

54:44 they would actually have two sets of debates. And I called it at the

54:47 time the Kids Table. They had the kids table debates and the adults table

54:52 debates, you know, just like during the holidays, So they would have

54:55 the kids table debate first, you know, all the candidates who absolutely totally

55:00 had no shot. It's hard to remember who was at the kid's table debates

55:04 because it was a kid's table. The only one that really stands out to

55:07 me is a Senator Lindsey Graham. He was at the kid's table because you

55:09 know, these are for the people pulling it like one percent. And then

55:14 they had the adults stable, which was you know, obviously Trump and Christy

55:16 and Rubio and Kasak and all the others. John Hopwood says it's unlikely that

55:24 Trump would serve a full term after being elected, so the GOP VEEP nominee

55:30 might be the forty eighth president, and John says, yes, Lindsay Graham

55:36 at the kid's table. Uh. Melanie Liberty from the Great State of Vermont

55:39 joins this and says, hey, guys, hey, Melanie, let's see

55:44 it. Says here again, this is from NPR. That made for a

55:49 debate that was at times unruly, with the three moderators struggling to control the

55:53 conversation as candidates talked and shouted over each other. North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham,

55:59 at the bottom of the pack and current polls and the last to qualify

56:01 to appear in the debate, tried to elbow his way into more airtime,

56:05 jumping in answer a question about childcare out of turn before moderator Dana Perino of

56:10 Fox News cut him off. The debate wrapped up with a surprising moment of

56:15 decorum when the candidates refused to answer a single question posed by Perino, who

56:20 asked each candidate to single out one rival who should be voted off the island.

56:24 Florida Governor Rondy Sanders box saying, quote, I think that's disrespectful to

56:29 my fellow competitors unquote. Former Governor Chris Christy visibly indicated his agreement. Christi

56:35 eventually said that he would quote vote Donald Trump off the island right now.

56:37 Every person on this stage has shown respect for Republican voters une by showing up.

56:45 Christy added, adding that Trump has divided the country and divided families.

56:49 Yeah, that was interesting, by the way, I'll find that clip and

56:52 I'll play it on tomorrow's show. Christy talked about it, surprised me actually,

56:59 but he talked about the division, like he talked about the how divisive

57:04 Trump is in terms of how you know people even in you know, in

57:08 their own families, they have family members who you know, their relationships are

57:14 strained with now because because of Trump, because they disagree about Trump. Trump

57:17 is so divisive now. I have a lot of feelings about that, but

57:22 I'll leave that to the side. But but it was interesting to hear Christie

57:29 talk about that actually. So some other takeaways from last night's debate, It

57:32 says Haley on fire again. Yeah, I think she acquitted herself well.

57:37 And I think there was a pole right after the debate that showed a lot

57:40 of viewers felt that she won, you know, to the extent that there

57:45 could be a winner again. The debate was kind of an s show,

57:47 it says former South Carolina Governor Nicky Haley, who's been gaining ground, particularly

57:52 in New Hampshire and outpacing de Santis in some key polls, showed up with

57:58 gloves off. She sparred with both the Santis and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott

58:02 over energy policy. During a heated exchange about how to regulate social media used

58:07 by teens, Haley told entrepreneur of the Vake Ramaswamy what will perhaps be the

58:12 single most memorable line. Quote, every time I hear you, I feel

58:16 a little bit dumber unquote. Ramaswamy responded by complaining about the fruitlessness of personal

58:22 attacks, as a discussion descended into yet another shouting match between the moderators and

58:28 candidates. In an apparent sign that Trump us Haley as a potential threat is

58:31 campaign released a statement before the debate even ended, attempting to lessen her credibility,

58:37 calling her week on immigration. By the way, that is interesting to

58:40 me that the campaign would even bother to do that. Trump will participate in

58:45 these debates. He wants to remain above the fright. By the way,

58:47 as much as you know, I'm no fan of Trump, as listeners know,

58:51 but I do think that politically it is smart for Trump to stay out

58:54 of the debates. People are still, you know, wondering even today,

59:00 what about the next debate? Maybe Trump will show up for the next one.

59:04 Guys, I got news for you. Trump will not show up for

59:07 a single Republican primary debate. He will not. He's not coming to any

59:10 of these. He has no reason to. There's just no reason to He's

59:15 going to be the nominee. He can cruise. There's no reason for him

59:20 to show up at any of these debates. He has nothing to gain from

59:22 it, and he knows that, so, you know, we can we

59:27 can forget about that. But I am surprised that they bothered to. I

59:30 mean, do they actually see NICKI Haley as a threat? That does surprise

59:34 me. If that is the case, Let's see, the front runner was

59:39 absent but not ignored. Instead of attending the debate, Trump held a rally

59:45 in Michigan at a non union auto parts manufacturing plant. The visit seemed designed

59:51 to contrast with President Biden's decision to join out. Okay, we know about

59:53 that. I'm gonna skip down here. Actually, yeah, we already covered

59:58 that because I played the those clips. Okay, next takeaway. China is

1:00:02 the foreign policy thread through all things. China loomed large throughout the debate,

1:00:09 whether the topic was its dominance in the energy and technology sectors, its role

1:00:15 in the flow of fentanol into the US, efforts to control Taiwan, and

1:00:19 friendliness between Chinese President Jijing Ping and Russian President Vladimir Putin amid Russia's ongoing war

1:00:24 against Ukraine. Haley called for ending normal trade relations with China until the fentanol

1:00:30 supplies cut off, and said quote, a win for Russia is a win

1:00:32 for China. Ute Chrissie hit on similar themes, warning of alliances between China

1:00:38 and Russia, same quote. If we give him any of Ukraine, next

1:00:42 will be Poland unquote. And by the way, it's and I think Chris

1:00:46 Christy has been very good on that, as well as Nikki Haley and some

1:00:51 others. And it's it's important to point that out because there are some Republicans

1:00:54 who would very much like to abandon Ukraine. There's very much a split in

1:01:00 the Republican Party on that subject. One thing I disagree with, though,

1:01:06 is the idea, and I think it's just being said for rhetoric. I

1:01:08 don't know how many people who say this actually believe it. The idea that

1:01:14 Poland is next or would be next, or could be next, or would

1:01:17 have been next had we not supplied Ukraine with help, that I don't believe.

1:01:24 I don't believe that Vladimir Putin ever had an idea of taking Ukraine and

1:01:30 then moving on to Poland because Poland is NATO and that was not going to

1:01:35 happen. So I just don't a little bit of a side note, But

1:01:37 I've never bought into that idea that NATO, that Putin was going to take

1:01:45 Ukraine and then try to attack NATO. That would be pretty insane, you

1:01:50 know, assuming that Putin is still a rational actor of sane mind. That

1:01:52 would be World War three, that would wind up in a nuclear exchange.

1:01:57 So I don't believe. I don't believe that that was ever on the menu.

1:02:00 But it's a good talking point. I suppose if you support Ukraine,

1:02:04 I support Ukraine also, and I support our helping Ukraine. But you're never

1:02:08 gonna hear me say while we have to help Ukraine because Poland is next.

1:02:13 I would never say that, just because to me, it's not honest.

1:02:15 I don't think that's true. I'll give you my argument for why we need

1:02:19 to help Ukraine, but I'm not gonna start spouting off about well, other

1:02:24 NATO countries could be attacked by Russia. I mean, that would be suicidal

1:02:30 of Vladimir Putin to do that. So anyway, next takeaway, I'm gonna

1:02:36 try to speed through these because I think the band is arriving soon. The

1:02:39 fading memory of Ronald Reagan. This is something we've talked about on the show.

1:02:44 By the way, people used to evoke Reagan all the time until Trump

1:02:46 showed up, and then all of a sudden, they had a new hero.

1:02:50 Republicans used to evoke Reagan all the time. The debate was held at

1:02:53 the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, and the event opened

1:02:58 with iconic images and from the fortieth president. Several questions referred to Reagan,

1:03:04 who has taken on a near mythical status among some in the party. Candidates,

1:03:07 including Senator Scott and former Vice President Mike Pence, have invoked his name

1:03:13 on the campaign trail, with Pence seeking to differentiate the Party of Reagan from

1:03:16 the Party of Trump. Even so, more than forty years have passed since

1:03:22 Reagan took office, and it's unclear how much that image will continue to resonate

1:03:25 with younger voters with little or no memory of him. That's in a party

1:03:30 that is struggling to win over young voters, a key demographic in the upcoming

1:03:34 general election. This was weird and I didn't like it. Sleeping with teachers

1:03:43 one of the weirder lines of discussion surrounded that's right, politicians quote sleeping with

1:03:49 teachers. Spoiler alert the teachers and questions were their wives. But don't let

1:03:52 that get in the way of a good snarky quip. During a conversation about

1:03:57 the power of teachers teacher unions, Christy attacked President Biden, saying, quote,

1:04:00 when you have the president of the United States sleeping with a member of

1:04:03 the teachers union, there is no chance that you could take the stranglehold away

1:04:08 unquote. First Lady Jill Biden has spent her career as an educator. Several

1:04:13 minutes later, Pence followed up by joking that he has been quote sleeping with

1:04:16 a teacher for thirty eight years unquote. But he did make the distinction that

1:04:19 his wife, a former Second Lady Karen Pence, is not a union educator.

1:04:25 Still, good luck getting those images out of your head. Yeah,

1:04:28 and that's why I didn't like that. All Right, here's what we're gonna

1:04:33 do. We're gonna take a break and I'm gonna play this is of the

1:04:39 tracks that they sent us, because, like I said, I believe the

1:04:42 guys are going to be arriving shortly, so we'll take our break now.

1:04:46 This is fourteen hundred BC. This is just an epic epic song. I

1:04:51 love this. This is of course from the band After the Winter, who

1:04:57 are our musical guests today. If you're just jo us, my understanding is

1:05:00 they are on their way, but they are stuck in traffic, so hopefully

1:05:04 they will arrive soon. I'm really looking forward to meeting them. I love

1:05:08 their sound. Great band. I should warn you though, it's about to

1:05:11 get loud and it's about to get heavy. But check this out. This

1:20:30 it's uh, it's in yellow. Yeah, very cool. I dig the

1:20:39 logos. Yes, the uh I've I've I've had sleep paralysis before. Yeah,

1:20:45 very nice, very nice. By the way, Tom Blanchard in the

1:20:50 chat room said, a good song, but hard to whistle to. Fair

1:20:56 and Melanie, our friend from Vermont, says, this sounds like the song

1:20:59 we used to sing to our kids before they went to sleep. That I

1:21:03 actually I actually played that from my kids when they go to sleep. Very

1:21:06 nice. That's why they never sleep. Jay Fed says, Now that's a

1:21:13 beard, that's a that's a trimmed. So I just got a trimmed today.

1:21:17 Actually, that's funny. So yesterday on the show we had Hands of

1:21:21 Spite. I don't know if you guys know that band, I've heard of

1:21:25 them, but the gentleman who was at the news desk yesterday I also had

1:21:27 a big beard, like yes, absolutely, well, let's do this.

1:21:34 So let's start at the news desk, and if you can each tell us

1:21:38 who you are and what you do in the band. All right, So

1:21:39 my name is Chris. I'm the vocalist of After the Winter, an original

1:21:43 member, all right, And on the couch, I'm Cody. I'm rhythm

1:21:48 guitar. I'm the newest member to the band. I was a fan of

1:21:54 the band when I was younger. My best friend Chad was, you know,

1:21:58 lead guitar, and uh, you know, when they got back together,

1:22:01 they had me try out. And here I am, oh, very

1:22:03 cool, very cool, and you I am Nick. I am the drummer.

1:22:09 I play the skins. I'm also an original member, yes sir,

1:22:15 Yeah, we're back after a little hiatus. But cool, cool, better

1:22:18 than ever I think. And in the chair, my name is Matt.

1:22:21 I played bass and uh, when he originally asked me i was joined the

1:22:26 band, I said, though, ye, second time I said yes,

1:22:30 and here we are very good. Tell he's the bass player too, because

1:22:32 you hear his voice very clearly. Yeah. Well, so we have some

1:22:38 a couple of things in common. So my name, of course is Matt,

1:22:41 and I'm also a basically great name. Oh there we go, Jam

1:22:43 later, Yes, yea, why did so? Now I'm curious why did

1:22:46 you say no? The first time? I just had a lot going on.

1:22:49 I was in a couple of different bands, and uh, I wasn't

1:22:51 sure. But then I thought about it and I was like, well,

1:22:55 I'd gladly drop other bands for this band. Yeah. Yeah, works out

1:22:58 well. After hearing the track you guys sent me, I think he made

1:23:00 the right choice because because I love what you're doing. In fact, what

1:23:05 was the song? I want to make sure I'm talking about the right one.

1:23:09 Oh yeah, fourteen hundred BC. Yes, I was playing that in

1:23:13 the car today and there's a couple of points in that in that and I

1:23:15 think it's the bass notes that are doing it. There's a couple of points

1:23:17 in that song where I feel it in my stomach. Yeah. Yeah,

1:23:20 it's fantastic. I love that you just said. Yeah that's great. Yeah,

1:23:26 real like to hear that. Yeah, Yeah, really good stuff.

1:23:30 Chris. You do all the vocals or I do? Yes, I do

1:23:31 cleans and I do the screaming. It's your Your approach is interesting. I

1:23:35 don't know if anyone is pointing this out before, but you know, very

1:23:40 often in bands where you've got you know, you've got the aggressive vocals and

1:23:43 the clean vocals. It's it's usually it's usually more of the clean vocals and

1:23:47 then you and then you hear a little bit of the aggressive vocals. But

1:23:50 do it the other way, you do it the other way. Yeah,

1:23:53 that's interesting. Oh, we thought it's nice to break it up once in

1:23:55 a while. And you know, these guys heard me singing. They're like,

1:23:57 oh my gosh, you're the voice of an angel. Yeah. Yeah,

1:24:00 there's actually great bread crumbs. Yeah yeah. It does have guest vocals

1:24:05 from the original guitar player from the band, who's Mike String who wrote Yeah,

1:24:12 yeah, yeah, that's an epic track. Thank you for making that.

1:24:15 I love that absolutely. That seems to be the popular one people will

1:24:18 always point out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very cool. And uh

1:24:25 are you all you're from the Boston area or oh no, I'm sorry,

1:24:28 you said Western mass Springfield. Okay, yeah, I'm living in the Boston

1:24:31 area right now, okay, okay, yeah. Now are you're gonna be

1:24:36 at Swarmy festis year? Yeah? Oh yeah, excellent, excellent, yep.

1:24:42 Jenny and I will be there representing and really looking we're really looking forward

1:24:45 to that. Absolutely. Actually just texted Will from Sepsis. We're supposed to

1:24:49 maybe grab something to eat after this. Oh, very cool. Yeah,

1:24:51 yeah, Will's Will is a great guy. Sepsisolutely a great band. Those

1:24:55 guys really good people, and they're they're doing a lot of great stuff and

1:24:58 you know, they're really good at bringing people together and you know, well

1:25:00 obviously you know I love what they do. Yep, they got a podcast.

1:25:04 I usually watch it. Oh yeah, yeah, and they're so good

1:25:08 live. And then they've come a long way too, you know, they've

1:25:12 they've really advanced a lot over time. It's it's been great to see.

1:25:18 Now you guys play out a lot? Are you doing a lot too?

1:25:20 So this summer we actually did more than we've ever done. We plade about

1:25:25 thirty shows. Yeah, so this year we're at we're at thirty right now.

1:25:30 I've ever played I've never been in a band before. Actually, Okay,

1:25:33 while very breaking them in, they really are how long have you been

1:25:40 in the band since? Was it? We're on there? Yeah? Some

1:25:51 of the stuff is you know, it's it's kind of I mean, it's

1:25:55 not like prog rock, but it's it's a little bit complex compared to a

1:25:58 lot of metal that's out there. I mean, was was it Has it

1:26:00 been challenging to learn it or did you pick it up pretty quick? Or

1:26:02 oh yeah, Man, some songs are harder than others, and some things

1:26:05 that you think that are gonna be hard are actually the easy parts, and

1:26:10 some of the easy the hardest parts are like just chucks. Yeah. Yeah,

1:26:14 it'll just be some like breakdowns and rhythm parts that are just like you

1:26:18 know, they'll be like it's Dune, Dune. We have that problem.

1:26:23 We find to have that problem a lot with with lead players. So I

1:26:26 think that Cody is supposed to be a lead player because our lead players it

1:26:29 takes them forever to learn the simple stuff. They're like, dude, I

1:26:30 don't get this. That's interesting sweep all day, but like yeah, yeah,

1:26:35 right, Like what are what are the live shows? Like, I

1:26:42 mean, do you have any kind of theatrics or anything or you just go

1:26:45 out there and play? I mean, because I imagine it's pretty high energy.

1:26:48 It is high energy. We go out there and mostly just play.

1:26:51 But like we have a Halloween show coming up pretty soon at the camp and

1:26:55 Enfield, Connecticut, so it's gonna be like a costume party. So we're

1:26:58 gonna do some weird stuff. Yeah, yeah, not too weird. That's

1:27:01 too weird to a certain degree. Yeah, we're gonna get weird. We're

1:27:05 not that weird. Yeah, and you're not. And where do you record?

1:27:12 Because everything sounds rightly? So we record with Ian from the Echo Room

1:27:16 Studios. We actually recorded at Zing Studios, which is previously known as the

1:27:23 studio where Adam d from kill Switch was the engineer. Oh no kidding,

1:27:27 Westfield, Massachusetts. Oh wow cool. So it was surreal being in there

1:27:30 this time. I mean we we shared the same equipment as like you know,

1:27:33 kill Switch, engaged Devilwars product who wow, big bands like you know

1:27:38 another one old school band that I was friends with, this Legia. Those

1:27:41 guys record ye oh wow, very cool. They have like a cool wall

1:27:45 in there that you get to sign to. Yeah, we have that awesome.

1:27:56 Now, how did you how did you make that connection to record at

1:27:59 that? Like what in too picking that studio to So so we've been sticking

1:28:03 with the same guy since we started this, and you know, we took

1:28:08 so we started, we took like an eleven year hiatus. We had kids,

1:28:12 people had things going on. Yeah, you know what I mean for

1:28:15 real, eleven years. Yeah, So we just came back this year,

1:28:17 no kidding. So we just came back and we've been hitting it hard.

1:28:21 You know. We decided to stick with Ian because he's just he's a great

1:28:25 dude and and he's got a great ear for the music. You know,

1:28:28 we just love what he does. We'd love how he mixes and masters everything

1:28:30 and easy to work with, just really cool gets Yeah yeah, does he

1:28:35 like you know, because a lot of times, you know, Engineer has

1:28:40 become like de facto producers, you know, That's what it's like with him.

1:28:45 Kind yeah, yeah, yeah, he just knows what he what he

1:28:47 wants to hear, and we always agree with him. So yeah, yeah,

1:28:50 yeah, whatever you say, otherwise he might beat us with a stick.

1:28:56 So we've recorded everything everything that you hear from after the just recorded with

1:29:00 Ian other than one song. We recorded a song with Ken Susy from Unearth

1:29:04 and Now As I Lay Dying Oh no kidding, Yeah, that that song

1:29:08 is called The Hunt. Okay, we did that one with him. Oh

1:29:10 yeah, we're we're gonna we're gonna play that one at the end of the

1:29:12 segment. Actually, yeah, yeah, The Hunt definitely, by the way,

1:29:16 where does the name come from? After the winter the best time.

1:29:20 The best time is spring. I agree, that's it. That's that's simple.

1:29:26 I just always haven't anything to do with the name. So I always

1:29:29 tell people I like to look at it is only the strong survived the winter.

1:29:33 There we go. That's my motto. I like my angry music in

1:29:36 the winter, then play it in the summer. Yeah, I like that.

1:29:41 No, I agree, though, that's after the winter. After the

1:29:43 winter we all come out and we play shows. Winter winter is done.

1:29:46 It's a relief, that's right. Yeah, that's no. I'm I'm with

1:29:49 you there. Absolutely. Can you guys talk to me about influences? You

1:29:54 know, you mentioned recording at the studio of where I kill Switch Engage one

1:30:00 of those guys, which I'm big, big fan. I love kill Switch

1:30:03 Engage absolutely, and I can hear some of that in your in your music

1:30:06 definitely. Well, what else? Who are some other influences. One of

1:30:10 my biggest influences actually Howard Jones from that band, So he was in a

1:30:14 band prior to that called bloodisban Shed from Connecticut. Okay, ridiculous band.

1:30:17 That's a cool That's kind of where it all started. This whole scene started

1:30:21 there. You know, it goes back and forth. People say Slipknots started

1:30:25 it, and I mean slip Knots heavy too, but Bloodisman Shed was like

1:30:28 what we do. Like, they're really like heavier than us. Often I'll

1:30:30 often look them up. I don't know that, but that's a cool name,

1:30:33 putting out the pieces together for like what they call metal core. Yeah

1:30:35 yeah, yeah yeah. And Howard Jones, the singer from kill Switch,

1:30:41 the one that they had knew for a while. But yeah, I know

1:30:43 Jesse's back now, but Howard Jones, he was in Blosman Shed and he

1:30:46 does He's one of the best singers I've ever heard. Man, it's just

1:30:49 incredible. Oh wow, oh very cool. What about what about you guys?

1:30:54 Anyway? I love like the Acacia strain, uh yeah, things like

1:30:58 that. Trying to think they played a show that I This was way back.

1:31:02 They played a show that I promoted locally actually before they were like you

1:31:08 know yeah, yeah, they're from town in Springfield, so yeah, yeah,

1:31:11 yeah, I would see them a lot. I like, uh,

1:31:15 I just I was just thinking of it. Ohno. Just listen to them.

1:31:20 Nick's always talking about nothing. If you're listening Nick wants to play a

1:31:27 show with you guys just me. Yeah, So for me, I got

1:31:34 a whole top five problems. But the one, yeah, the one that

1:31:43 I would say is a big influence in my life and actually is. You

1:31:46 know, we went to their concert and that's how Chad and Chris saw each

1:31:51 other again for the first time. Would be August Burn's Red. So they

1:31:55 had a big impact on my life. And you know, me and Chad

1:31:59 went to that concert, saw Chris and they talked and decided to put back

1:32:01 to the band. And I got to meet the drummer Matt that night too,

1:32:08 took a photo of him, and yeah, that that band I've always

1:32:11 loved. So yeah, yeah, very cool. What about you, Matt

1:32:15 Well? I came from a more death metal and black metal background. There's

1:32:18 actually a black metal band before this. Yeah, the completely different kind of

1:32:21 music, more Jurun. What about other than that? Other than that,

1:32:28 I used to play in a band called O Rose Funeral. They're from Ohio.

1:32:30 They were on meddal Bade Records, a tour with the in two thousand

1:32:33 and eight. He also plays drums and just kind of why When he asked

1:32:38 me, I was like, uh, I kind of stuck at bass,

1:32:41 but I'll try it. Yeah what happens. But yeah, I like black

1:32:46 and death metal and stuff. So we all kind of have different influences,

1:32:48 but we kind of put them together to kind of create something that we like

1:32:53 as a unit pretty much. Yeah, yeah, works out. So many

1:32:57 influences here. Yeah, we have a lot of different influence. By the

1:33:00 way Sepsis is in the Chatirman says, after the winter is a very new

1:33:02 England name. Arizona is winter. Oh depends on where our westyr gez California

1:33:16 last winter, and some places had a worse winter than we did. That's

1:33:21 true. I didn't. I used to snowblower once last winter. Yeah yeah,

1:33:26 oh yeah, the winter is here have gotten easier and they've gotten harder

1:33:29 other places. It's it's amazing now the tunes that we've been playing, because

1:33:33 I played a couple earlier, bread Crumb and of course our fourteen hundred BC.

1:33:38 Are these on an album or are they just singing? It's our EP

1:33:41 release, So they are on the EP. The EP is called My Wish,

1:33:45 My Dream. We just got the artwork done. What you just saw

1:33:47 on my back, that's part of it. And we have somebody working on

1:33:51 the the EP cover right now. It's it's almost done. We got some

1:33:56 drafts back and we just had to make some corrections. But yeah, it

1:33:59 should be really soon. Oh, very cool, very cool. And now

1:34:03 so I have to ask you too about so the back of your of your

1:34:06 hoodie there it's got the sleep demons as you call it. Ye, like,

1:34:12 did what is that inspired by? Like have you experienced or one of

1:34:15 you experienced actual sleep paralysis? Because I feel I've never told them about this,

1:34:20 but I've had like that same thing happened to me and I couldn't move,

1:34:25 isn't it isn't it awful? Yeah? Yeah, I can't move.

1:34:28 You just sit there and you're just like I wish this was over, but

1:34:30 you can't do anything about it. You cannot. I can say I've never

1:34:33 had that happen, So yeah, I know talking about that's that's good.

1:34:39 My experience with it. It happened to me like three times. This was

1:34:44 maybe twelve years ago. But I never saw anything like I never saw like

1:34:48 anything sitting on me. It was like I was alone in my bed in

1:34:51 the dark, and I woke up at least that's what it felt like.

1:34:55 I woke up and I knew somebody was standing over me. You could feel

1:34:59 it. I could feel it. Couldn't see them, but I could feel

1:35:01 it. And I was paralyzed, like I like I was. I couldn't

1:35:04 do anything about it. And uh, I can't remember if I've ever admitted

1:35:09 this on the air or not, but I actually slept with the lights on

1:35:12 for at the third time it happened. I started judgment here. I started

1:35:17 sleeping with the lights on. I was like, I've had enough of this,

1:35:19 and so yeah, so that image is that image is wild man.

1:35:25 That's it's almost like if you know, you know, oh yeah, yeah,

1:35:29 totally totally. But that's good, chriss. You haven't had to suffer

1:35:32 through that. Yeah, not yet. Good thing. I'm sitting at the

1:35:35 news desk. I think I think the beard protects you. It saves a

1:35:43 lot of food, that's for sure, especially popcorn. I bet, do

1:35:47 you do you like? Do you oil it or something? That's what I

1:35:50 put bomb in it? Do you yeah? Okay, okay, yeah,

1:35:54 that's what Otherwise it's just be all over the place. The gentleman from the

1:35:57 Hands of Spite who sat there yesterday, he said that too, he puts

1:36:00 I think it was bomb, he said, he puts in his beard.

1:36:02 Yep. A Miriam banishes in the chat room. She says, I get

1:36:05 sleep paralysis, but now I know what it is. It just annoys me.

1:36:09 I'm aware when it's happening. Wow, that is sleep paralysis. Yeah,

1:36:13 it's it's freaky though, freaky stuff. I've had that a few times.

1:36:15 Yeah. Yeah, but I did have one time where I think I

1:36:18 was like having a nightmare at the same time, and I did have like

1:36:21 this like demon girl on top of me. Yeah, I couldn't move.

1:36:26 Oh wow. Yeah, I didn't know if I was awaker dreaming. And

1:36:29 then I woke up like the next day and I was like, whoa that?

1:36:34 But I like feel myself inside and I just I'm trying to move and

1:36:38 just nothings look like kind of you know, it actually sounds kind of fun.

1:36:43 Though it's disappointed that I don't. It's kind of disappointing that its experienced

1:36:50 it once in your life, so you know, no, you really shouldn't

1:36:54 if it's really not. It is not Actually, if you have it,

1:37:00 I feel like I'm missing out. Like I don't know if you ever slept

1:37:01 on your face and I've had it then and it's I can't breathe, like,

1:37:08 because then you got them. I think you're just about to die at

1:37:10 that point. Yeah, but you're kidding yourself. You know. It's weird.

1:37:14 I never thought about this before, but I so I don't. I

1:37:17 always sleep on my side always, but for some reason, when I've had

1:37:21 the sleep paralysis, I've been on my back at least that's at That's how

1:37:25 I remember, Like I'm lying there, I'm on my back and it's like,

1:37:28 oh, someone is standing over me. This is horrible. So don't

1:37:30 ever sleep on your back. Story. If you're gonna get anything out of

1:37:35 this, don't sleep on your back exactly. Well, I hope we got

1:37:40 a bad hip. Sorry, Well I hope we've helped some people here today

1:37:45 with that. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, I think we have. It

1:37:48 is a it is a fascinating subject. Now, So, by the way,

1:37:53 do you guys have any lyrics about that? Or who? Right?

1:37:56 Who writes? I write the lyrics? Bread Crumbs is actually derived from the

1:38:00 story of Hansel and Gretel. Okay, it's it's it's a song based on

1:38:03 anti child trafficking. So I tied the story of Hansel and Gretel into it.

1:38:09 And there's a part of the part where it says nibble nibble, little

1:38:11 mouse. Yeah, always nibbling on my house. That's from the Brothers grib

1:38:15 Oh wow, okay, gotcha, gotcha. So I do all the lyrics

1:38:18 for the band. Yeah, do the other tracks who they have kind of

1:38:23 the themes where they're sort of specific like that. Every I'm a history buff,

1:38:28 so I try to take stories and like tell the story and getting the

1:38:30 person's shoes and you know, and and and put a modern twist to it.

1:38:32 Yeah. Yeah, so very cool. Marie, what is it?

1:38:36 Let the meet Cake Marie Antoinette, And you know, I tried to write

1:38:42 a song about, like, because there's a lot of misinformation, you know,

1:38:45 like whatever it be, whatever your opinion is, wherever it lies,

1:38:48 but there is misinformation out there, and I just I thought about, you

1:38:51 know, how can I write a song that's based upon that to get people

1:38:56 to start paying attention. Yeah, you know, because apparently if you dig

1:38:59 deep enough, she never actually said that. She never actually said let the

1:39:01 meat cake. Yeah, So that's what the song is about. It's it's

1:39:04 it's my way of getting into her shoes and telling her side of the story.

1:39:08 Yeah, be headed for no reason. Correct, that's interesting apparently,

1:39:12 Yeah, they say, but that could be misinformation. Yeah right, you

1:39:16 know you never really know circle Yeah, yeah, definitely. No, that's

1:39:20 that's interesting. Where should uh the time does go so fast? I want

1:39:25 to make sure we have time for that track. But what should people know

1:39:28 about? How to find you guys online? Where to keep up with everything
