Mysterious voicemail mystery solved, sort of | Matt Connarton Unleashed

0:00 Speaker 1: I received a very strange voicemail on Wednesday evening. I'm gonna give you a little teaser because we're probably going to circle back to this later and this will all make sense in the end, I promise. But if you're someone who's who maybe only listened to part of the show some of the show, you're gonna.

0:16 Speaker 2: Want to listen to the whole thing today.

0:17 Speaker 1: See this is how I hook you in, because we are going to revisit this later in the show. But on Wednesday night, just after nine pm, I received a very very strange voicemail. By the way, this is not a bit. This is all one hundred percent legit. This really happened. I received this exact anonymous voicemail. But here's the hook. I do believe I've identified who this person is. But it's not somebody I know personally, not somebody I've ever met. But it is someone who, if I'm right, they have called the show before.

0:49 Speaker 1: But this recording that I'm about to play for you is not from the show. This is from my voicemail. And by the way, I did have to edit it because to be able to air it on FM radio, I did have to do a little editing, which will be obvious when you hear it, when you hear the bleeps. But this is the voicemail that I got Wednesday night, just after nine pm.

1:08 Speaker 3: Who is Matt Connorton.

1:12 Speaker 4: You're not Mat Connorton? And it was so fake because it's AI or whatever.

1:19 Speaker 3: Who the think is Matt Connorton.

1:20 Speaker 4: Babe, what's wrong? It's not valid, it's incorrect, It's wrong. Matt Connorton. Matt Connorton.

1:35 Speaker 1: Now I just tell you so. I went to bed Wednesday night thinking it's probably a soccer and I'm about to be murdered. No, I didn't think that, but I did go to bed Wednesday night thinking that voice is very familiar to me. I feel like I've heard that voice somewhere and I can't place it. I woke up Thursday morning, Thursday morning, my eyes pop open, and I think I know where I've heard that voice before, and it was on my show. That person is called my show, and that's where I've heard the voice. And again we'll circle back to it later in the show.

2:12 Speaker 1: It might not be until the third hour, it might not be till the end of the show, but I will reveal to you before this show concludes today, where I have heard that voice before, and who I believe that individual might be. Right now, what we're gonna do as promised. If you were listening from the beginning of the show today, you might have heard me play some audio for you from a very mysterious voicemail that I received on Wednesday night just after nine pm. And I'm going to play that for you again.

2:46 Speaker 1: If you missed it, I'm going to play that voicemail for you, the edited version. I had to clean it up for FM radio, but it's short, it's only about thirty seconds. But I got this very mysterious, anonymous voicemail and I went to bed Wednesday night thinking I've heard this voice before. I don't know where, but there's something familiar about this voice. And then Thursday morning, the next morning, my eyes popped open and I said, I know where I've heard that before. So I'm going to play the voicemail for you, and then I'm going to play the segment of this show, not the entire segment, but I'm gonna play the one little part of a segment from this show a few years ago when my guest on that day, well, I had two guests in the studio with me.

3:31 Speaker 1: One of them was Huey the Gecko, who was the main focus of the segment. But also with Huey was Aaron billideo who was just here with us live in studio. So it is a small world getting smaller all the time. But Aaron Billideau was here that day too, so you might even hear his voice in the clip that I play. But I'm just gonna play I'm gonna play for you the part where this person calls in.

3:53 Speaker 4: I am.

3:54 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I'm about ninety five percent sure that it's the same person. I really believe that it's the same person again. The first time, the one time actually that they called into the show was a few years ago.

4:09 Speaker 2: So I don't know why this is happening. I don't know what's going on here. It's very strange, very mysterious. I don't know. But I'm gonna play for you.

4:18 Speaker 1: First, I'm gonna play I'm gonna play the voicemail that I got, and then I'm going to play that clip from that segment of my show, the one time that this individual actually called into the show. Okay, so here's the voicemail again. I received this just after nine pm Wednesday night.

4:34 Speaker 3: Who is Matt Connorton.

4:37 Speaker 4: You're not met Connorton And it was so fake because it's AI or whatever. Who the thing is Matt Connorton, Babe, what's wrong?

4:50 Speaker 3: It's not.

4:52 Speaker 4: Valid, it's incorrect, It's wrong. Matt Connorton. Connorton.

5:02 Speaker 2: Okay.

5:02 Speaker 1: So now I'm going to play for you again. And if you're looking for this online, the title of the segment, it's on YouTube. The segment is called You the Get Go mercilessly trolled by pod Awful cult on Matt Connorton Unleashed And if you're not familiar, pod Awful as a podcast and stream hosted by jesseps and he's a controversial figure. But he's been on the show too. Jesse's been on the show, and I've been on his show like several years ago. But here it is. This is so that's the name of the clip.

5:37 Speaker 1: If you're looking for it online, the name of the segment. But here's here's the little bit that that voice where we hear that same voice what I believe is the same voice. Yes, we should not smirch Frankenstein and we have a call. Hi, welcome to Matt Connorton unleashed.

5:52 Speaker 2: Who's this.

5:55 Speaker 5: Hi?

5:56 Speaker 6: I was just calling and I wanted to call to speak to like speak about Kiuie they get go.

6:02 Speaker 1: Yes, he is here at the news desk.

6:05 Speaker 5: Hi jade, Hi, how are you doing?

6:10 Speaker 4: I'm doing good.

6:11 Speaker 6: How's it going good?

6:13 Speaker 5: You?

6:16 Speaker 2: Well, this is how.

6:19 Speaker 6: I've been a fan of Hue. They get go for a little bit. And I think that that last guy was kind of a loser, and that music is pretty cool, and you know, the territory comes with haters, so I would never let the haters get to you.

6:35 Speaker 2: No, he clearly, he clearly does not. And uh, you know, but hey, you know, everyone's a critic.

6:41 Speaker 5: Have you ever had a rare section of your vinyl collection where you could carry about thirty of them? But the weight of those two was way more than the weight of those thirty. The weight of the words that woman that just spoke right there meant way more than any of the callers that came on before.

6:54 Speaker 1: Oh well, very nice, well done, Jed, well done.

7:00 Speaker 6: All right, Well keep doing what you do, Hui the echo.

7:03 Speaker 5: Bye, thank you so much.

7:05 Speaker 2: Thank you.

7:06 Speaker 1: All right, So that's the call, so I believe that's the same. Now, let's listen one more time to the voicemail.

7:12 Speaker 3: Who is Matt Connorton.

7:15 Speaker 4: You're not Met Connorton, And it was so fake because it's AI or whatever.

7:22 Speaker 3: Who the think is Matt Connorton.

7:24 Speaker 4: Babe, what's wrong?

7:28 Speaker 3: It's not.

7:30 Speaker 4: Valid, it's incorrect, it's wrong. Matt Connorton is Matt Connorton.

7:39 Speaker 1: So there you go, So you be the judge. But like I said, I'm about ninety five percent sure that it is the same individual who called. The person who left me that voicemail was the same person as the one who called into the show that time that Huey the Gecko was here and was being mercilessly trolled by a member of the Pod Awful cult.

7:59 Speaker 2: By the way, if you ever go.

8:01 Speaker 1: And listen to the full segment, if you haven't heard it, it's again, it's on YouTube. It's one of my favorite segments ever from the show, like ever, because I just found it. I just found the whole thing to be so entertaining. I remember my dad getting mad at me about it because he felt like my guest had been mistreated over the course of the segment, and I'm like, well, you know, he's kind of in on the joke Dad, you know anyway, but it's it's a it's a fun segment. And by the way, the member of the pod awful cult.

8:29 Speaker 1: If you do go and listen to the whole segment. Who harasses Huiye that day has also been on this show in studio because he happens to play in a band from the area, a great band from the area. But I will not say any more than that because I do not want to well, I don't want to dox him, which wouldn't literally be doxing, but I don't want to out him as his real identity. But it's a it's a very small world, a very very small world. The Internet makes makes everything small. But yes, I was asked in that voicemail, who who the blank is Matt Connor?

9:02 Speaker 1: Who is Matt Connorton? I often ask myself that question, Who is Matt Connorton? A stare into the mirror and I this is how I start every day to kind of get myself motivated and pumped up for the day. I look in the mirror and I say, who is Matt Connorton. I say, I am him, and he is me.

9:22 Speaker 2: I don't know.

9:22 Speaker 1: I don't really do any of that. I made some of that up, and by some I really mean all
