17:59 Speaker 2: Well, it was on a shared file. We did squeech that up a little bit, that voice and slid it out a little bit. It was a available loop that we plugged in at the end and we're like, wow, what's gonna make the song? At least have a little bit of a catch to it.

18:13 Speaker 7: Now.

18:15 Speaker 1: Please, whatever criticisms I may have are purely constructive in nature. But I have to tell you, at the end of the song, I did not feel like I was any closer to understanding what the dilio is than I was at the beginning of the song. I don't feel that my questions were answered about the dilio and what is the dilio?

18:37 Speaker 2: That's fascinating.

18:39 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying, very good point.

18:43 Speaker 2: Let's expand off on that for a moment. What is the dillio? When somebody says what's the dilio, you're asking what's going on? Oh, what's happening?

18:54 Speaker 1: Okay?

18:55 Speaker 2: So hey, Matt, what's the dilio?

18:57 Speaker 1: Okay? I thought maybe this was some sort of foreign currency, like, uh oh, interesting, take like, what's the dilio doing compared to the dollar? You know, how are we looking?

19:07 Speaker 2: It's like, what's up?

19:09 Speaker 1: Okay?

19:09 Speaker 2: What's up? I thought?

19:10 Speaker 1: I thought maybe it was a new cryptocurrency or something, you know, I don't know, you know, get your dilio dollars, you know, fake money.

19:19 Speaker 2: Exist? What's the exchange rate on a dilio dollar? Well, I don't know.

19:23 Speaker 1: I still don't know after listening to the song. But I think I understand a little bit better now.

19:27 Speaker 2: Are you sure?

19:28 Speaker 1: I think so? I think?

19:30 Speaker 2: So you know what the dilio is?

19:31 Speaker 4: Well, I don't sure.

19:33 Speaker 2: I don't know that I do.

19:34 Speaker 12: Do you know what?

19:35 Speaker 4: I think I know what? And I don't know if he knows what the dilio is?

19:38 Speaker 2: What's what? What's what's the very the dilio is?

19:42 Speaker 4: Totally what's going on? It's totally like the deal.

19:46 Speaker 2: It sounds like a snack good to to me?

19:48 Speaker 1: Well, it actually does take a might work.

19:52 Speaker 4: That food is his language, so that might work.

19:55 Speaker 2: What's see it? Also?

19:57 Speaker 1: Unfortunately it sounds like something that if I looked it up on Urban Dictionary, I might be horrified at what.

20:02 Speaker 2: Matt, If you were going to make the diliouh cake like a funny bonus or a hostess whole ho, what's what's in the dillio?

20:10 Speaker 4: It doesn't make anything?

20:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't make it would be your dream? Is there a healthy dilio? I would hope, So put the dilio with that?

20:18 Speaker 1: Maybe something gluten free?

20:19 Speaker 2: What do you what's your thoughts on fire? The word everybody that's fire. Oh, yes, that's fire. That's it. That one didn't make the kid believe it or not. No, Well, so now what do we have for volume two? Fire? Fire, I don't want to yellow.

20:35 Speaker 4: It didn't come out like that. In our day.

20:37 Speaker 2: It was fire fire. We were told not to say that in a movie theater.

20:43 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's true.

20:44 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it takes on when I first heard the Z generation talking like, hey, that's fire, I'm like what yeah?

20:50 Speaker 5: What?

20:50 Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to be careful with that, especially in certain circumstances. Oh, we do have a call. We'll see Hi. Welcome to Matt Connorton Unleashed is.

34:32 Speaker 15: Thanks for taking my call. This is Ah this from the community. Get out Riggy with your new release. You hit the nail right on the head. We are sick and tired of people coming in our community and jumping in our pool. They are we get out of our pool, Get out of my pool. Then we heard your song and we feel even more connected to you than ever.

35:02 Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, get out of my pool.

35:07 Speaker 2: Well, Agnes, thank you so much for calling in.

35:11 Speaker 1: She hung up.

35:13 Speaker 2: The original caller when I when I first went on this uh calling dream that people would be calling in, so fabricating it in uh a ka in uh inventing Agnes or I'll just leave it at that for the people listening.

35:34 Speaker 6: But Agnes uh.

35:37 Speaker 2: Went through the same thing that I think a lot of people go through that own pools now. If you ever owned a pool, Have you ever had a pool in your backyard.

35:44 Speaker 1: Or I've never I've never owned a pool.

35:47 Speaker 2: I mean, do you ever have a pool on your property.

35:49 Speaker 1: I've been in a pool?

35:51 Speaker 2: Well that let me. I recently was fortunate enough to purchase the house about nine years ago, okay, and it came with a pool. Okay, small pool in the back, not like the Olympic pools that you see in the seventies.

36:03 Speaker 3: Right.

36:04 Speaker 2: And let me tell you in the wintertime, when my snowblower broke down, and I see my neighbor across the street with his beautiful Toro solar powered cop holding, and I'm out there shoveling because I can't afford a good snowball and I just broke down. Fine, fine, I'm over it. Can you tell him over it? This summer and this summer and last summer, somebody gonna knock him my door. Hey, hey, neighbor, can we can use your pool? Me and my wife look at each other like is this really happening? And I almost said, hey, snowblower guy.

36:49 Speaker 2: I try to live in a peaceful neighborhood. Yes, but that kind of twirked me the wrong way. But the carrying their show that Ricky Mapleton is sure, no problem. Good good opened up the gate. He comes and he comes in with this. He comes in with his grandkid and his older son. No, I got three people in my pool.

37:09 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. He didn't tell you that up front.

37:12 Speaker 2: No, And then he did it two more times during the summer. And much like agnes I wrote, I wrote this song and rebellion for people that use other people's pools. And this is the most rock song on this album. Put your rock and roll on and you see something that you don't like, it's okay to say, get out of my pool. All right, let's here it all right, here's the upper building of.

37:41 Speaker 1: All right.

37:42 Speaker 9: Here it is.

37:56 Speaker 6: You're using all the glory.

38:00 Speaker 7: I don't even know you.

38:03 Speaker 6: I only see you when it's hot.

38:05 Speaker 1: Out.

38:07 Speaker 9: Get out of my pool. Get out of my pool. I don't even know you. Get out of my pool.

38:22 Speaker 14: You're using up bubble colorine I've never seen when they're seven feet of stone aground.

38:28 Speaker 6: You're walking around with your beautiful stone blowers.

38:35 Speaker 9: Good out of my pool.

38:38 Speaker 6: I need your summer fool. I know what makes you truel.

38:44 Speaker 9: Why don't you get your own pool? Then you can be the fool.

38:51 Speaker 6: Why don't you just get out of my pool?

38:55 Speaker 2: Wow?

38:56 Speaker 1: Get out of My Rule by Ricky Mapleton. So Agnes inspired that.

39:02 Speaker 2: Agnes and my neighbor and people that come over. You know if you have a pool. When you have a pool, you spend a good amount of time keeping the pool clean, skimming the pool, vacuum me the pool, checking the pH of the pool, the chlorine, the pH up, the pH down. There's a lot that goes in to having a pool. Yes, so if somebody comes over and says, I want to get in your pool, you think they could shower a little bit. They looked a little bit disheveled, like they just painted their house and then jumped in my pool.

39:33 Speaker 8: Right.

39:34 Speaker 2: So this is when you have something in life later and gentleman inspires you go for it. But do something positive with that energy.

39:42 Speaker 5: Right.

39:43 Speaker 1: Wow, It's like Billy Ocean. Remember Billy Ocean. He had that song get out of my dreams, get into my car.

39:51 Speaker 2: Well that's kind of sketchy.

39:52 Speaker 1: Maybe it should have been get out of my dreams, get into my pool. You know, because he was inviting a lady.

39:58 Speaker 2: That's kind of yeah. I don't know.

39:59 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know what I'm saying. So I think that's you know what I'm saying. That's a nice thing in that case. But what you're saying is, you know, something very frustrated.

40:09 Speaker 2: Oh but that's an analogy for a lot of stuff. Get out of my pool, Yes, you know, get out of my pool? Yes, yes, or like like, you're ruining my ride. You ever had that re question before?

40:20 Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely right. I mean no one's ever said it to me, you're ruining my ride, but get out of my pool. But uh, I'm looking for a track to for when we close out the segment, because we played everything that you sent me.

40:33 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I what are you think?

40:34 Speaker 12: I like this?

40:35 Speaker 1: I like this song. You're turning into one of those before I think I think that was one of my favorites. We might we might pull but before we run out of time, remind everybody where they can find uh the new album.

40:50 Speaker 2: Where it is up on YouTube, Spotify and all those other cool digital platforms that we can fortunately use now. Yes, because back in the day, back in the day, you could just stop get music and put it out even though it's out in a minuscule and you're a small piece of sand on the beach. At least it's out there, right, I don't have to get a record contract and get vinyl and you know what I'm saying, you know, like, so I feel very fortunate that I'm still kicking and enjoying the ability to do some some fun audio stuff.
