- uh, I know, um, you may not know this up. I may, I may told you or not.
- Um, the London BC show status last year, videotaping session completed 44 episodes completed in recording
- sessions. Wow. And this year of 2018 dropped down to 28. Oh, okay. I know it's not very good rating.
- It's 28 more than I've made 28 episodes.
- video taping recording sessions completed. So it is 28. This is the 28th recording session of the year.
- So it's still a lot. However, it's not a great rating. So we already have 44 last year, comparing to
- last year.
- and then now dropping down to 28. So we should be doing better hopefully next year. I hope the Let It
- Be Easy Show really trying to keep growing alive. Because apparently before we're going to the Christmas
- special discussion continuing on, let me tell you, I really,
- need your help spreading the word out to your friends too. Yeah, absolutely. Have them come to my show.
- We do need female guests too. We're losing female guests. Huh. I sure do. Well, I mean, I'll let people
- know. Yeah, we do. We sure do. So I hope we're going to get it.
- We got whole lots of guys 80% of it 20% women get female guests So it's really not good rating either
- So to my rating so it's not that great so 80% guys 20% girls so Yeah So it's really
- Not that great. So I know how it is, but I do know we really need female guests on my show for sure.
- We sure do. I sure do. But anyway, let's get back to the discussion with the Christmas special. So I
- do want to tell you, Tom, I was absolutely wonderful.
- And what do you like to spend Christmas? You used to help your parents with decorating Christmas tree.
- Is that right? Oh, yeah. I mean, that was a big thing for me when I was a kid, especially with my mom,
- you know, decorating the tree, putting up all the lights and everything. Yeah, I know. Yeah. I did that,
- too. Yeah. I know I sure did. So. So, yep, indeed. So I already.

- that we're having a great Christmas here so far. So I do know this Mr. Tom Miller. So I'm really like,

- Already dying right now. So it's still it still is We're trying to keep the line of easy show alive.
- Well, we don't know we're gonna have the let it be easy show alive this 2019 because it's it's the whole

- Don't know, it's gonna be, it's still complicated. We're trying to get guests on the show. It's getting
- complicated and then, complicated is, cost me a lot of time. So, and then, gonna come to an end. So.

- to the Lennon Beasley Show Second Annual Christmas Special, everybody. Well, I'm really so happy for
- all of you to enjoy continuing on this Christmas Special episode night, Second Annual Christmas Special
- on the Lennon Beasley Show.
- I would like to introduce my next guest and of course his third appearance on my show. You've already
- been on the episode 100 of The Lenin Beastie Show this year and three anniversary special, I think.
- However, now a Christmas special and I would like to introduce my next guest from
- First United Methodist Church in Bloomington, Indiana, and of course, Opendoor. I would like to introduce
- my next guest, it's Mark Fenstermacher. Lennon, good to see you. Yes, Mark, how you doing buddy? I'm
- doing well, I'm doing well. I'm wonderful, thank you. So, Mark Fenstermacher, I'm glad you're here for
- doing a meeting together with a Christmas special, Mr. Mark.
- So what do you think about this Christmas special, first of all, in this studio? Well, I think that
- anytime people can get together and talk about grace and God and love and hope and new beginnings, it's
- a good thing. Yes, that's right. Indeed. So I'm really excited about it. So I'm really excited about
- The Lenin Beasley Show Christmas special here. What would you like to talk about? I would like to talk
- to you about Christmas at your church every year. Okay. So tell us about Christmas special and church
- services. Well, first of all, the season that leads up to Christmas is called Advent. And not just at
- First Methodist, but a lot of churches celebrate that. And it's a season of preparation.
- And we even asked our children in worship last week, how do you get ready for company? And so we talked
- about all the things we do to get ready for company. And then we talked about how we get ready for God
- to come. And so Advent, we get ready for Christmas. And then, so we are in the season of Advent and
- then we'll come up and then on Christmas Eve, we will have a five o'clock service for family and children.
- And at eight o'clock, we'll have a candlelight service that will include the singing of hymns and the
- reading of the Christmas story. And the choir will sing and I will preach. And then at 10 o'clock on
- Christmas Eve, we'll have the hymns, prayers, the reading of the Christmas story. I'll preach and we'll
- have communion. And in our church, communion is open to all people.
- Yes. So you don't have to be a church member and you don't have to be an adult to receive communion.
- So it's open. It's all open. So you have a 10 o'clock PM. So we have a 5 o'clock, an 8 o'clock and a
- 10 o'clock on Christmas Eve. Wow. That's wonderful. At least I'll be coming to the 10 o'clock service.
- And on the 23rd
- which is Sunday, we will have in our sanctuary a 10 o'clock service, and then we'll have the open door
- at 1115 at the Busker Chumlin. Right. Yeah. I'll be, I know I'm in another church right now. However,
- on a 10 o'clock service, you said on a Monday, on a Christmas Eve, with a communion in. Carol's, we
- sing Carol's.
- Read the story of Christmas. There'll be prayers and I'll preach. I'll have a message. Preach still.
- Yeah, that would be great. I'll go for the 10 o'clock PM. 10 o'clock in the evening. 10 o'clock in the
- evening. It's wonderful, I think, in those late services to walk out of church after the service is
- done and you've sung Silent Night, Holy Night.
- and you walk out and it's very dark and it's late in the evening. So it'll be about 11.15 and the world
- is very quiet. It's really a special night. Yes. Yeah. Yes, indeed. That'd be great. We look forward
- to come to the service there on that 10 o'clock in the evening. And I would invite, Lennon, I would
- invite everyone
- to not necessarily our church. If you're a Lutheran, go to a Lutheran church or Baptist or Catholic
- or Apostolic. Or non-denominational. Non-denominational and get out and go. One of the things that people
- are writing about more and more is how many people suffer from loneliness and they feel disconnected.
- And I thought about that when the recent announcement about Barnes and Noble closing.
- Really? And how easy it is to order things online and stay home. And it's easy to stay home and not
- take a risk and go worship with a group of real live people. But I would encourage people this Christmas
- Eve or this Christmas Sunday or every Sunday or Friday or Saturday, whatever day of the week, your community worships.
- for people to go worship with other people, either to a synagogue or to a mosque or to a church, and
- actually have interaction with other people and have an experience of community. Yes. So it's easy to
- stay home. Right. But I'd say to people, go ahead and take a risk and come out. Yes. Yeah. So you're
- doing, that'll be every year doing Christmas specials.
- We know it's every year. Of course, 10 o'clock p.m. on every year. Every year, we tend to have three
- services on Christmas Eve. Now, sometimes that may change. If we wait, what is it, nine years,
- eight years, Christmas Eve will again be on a Sunday. So that schedule may change, but this year and
- next year and the year after, probably we will have a five o'clock, an eight o'clock, and a 10 o'clock.
- Wow, that's really nice, Mr. Mark Fenstermacher. So what are you like when you was a little kid or when
- you're a teenager in your early 20s? Help out Christmas tree, you was a kid, right? I had different
- traditions as a child. And so as a child, some of my best memories are of growing up in Brussels, Belgium.
- We only lived there for a couple of years, but I can remember opening an advent calendar. And it didn't
- have chocolate now. I've been told by the kids in our church, advent calendars have chocolate. Really?
- Yeah. And so my wife actually bought me one of those. But I can remember as a child in Brussels singing
- carols. I can remember opening every day the door of the advent calendar and then getting excited about
- Christmas coming. Right.
- I also remember as a child in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, coming downstairs and finding a railroad train
- under the tree. Yes, absolutely. I see railroad trains on the Christmas tree. And so that was good.
- And then as a boy growing up in Alaska, I can remember Christmas Eve services. I remember one Christmas
- Eve, my infant brother was held
- in the arms of a high school girl who played Mary, and who was baby Jesus. And then I can remember in
- high school, going to my Methodist church on Christmas Eve, and then I would go to midnight mass with
- a friend or two who played football with me, and they were good Catholics, and so I'd go to the Methodist
- church at 10 or 11, and then at midnight, I'd go to midnight mass. So it was in the late 60s.
- I, yes, I graduated from high school in 1969. 1969, wow. Yeah, it sounds like a thousand years ago.
- I know, 1969 was a great year for you. It was a good year and it was an interesting year for our country
- and people who have been around, were around then will remember it was a tumultuous time, it was a time
- of change, civil rights and
- So yeah, that was an interesting time in our lives. So I have a lot of good memories about Christmas.
- Yes, and you was spending Christmas with your wife in the 70s. And we were married in 1972 straight
- out of IU. And so we lived in Indiana for a while. And then we spent three years in North Carolina.
- And in North Carolina, we lived out in the country.
- between Burlington and Durham. And one of the things we'd do is go out in the woods and find garlands
- of evergreen. And we would place that in the church and then in our home. And then as the family grew
- up in Northern Indiana, when we came back from graduate school, we would go out and get a Christmas
- tree. The whole family would go out and would pick out the perfect tree.
- Right. And then we'd sing Christmas tree as we stood around it. And then we'd cut it down and take it
- to the car. Right. Yeah. That's right. So absolutely. So I'm absolutely excited about that. And and
- of course you got married at 72 and spending Christmas in 72 starting in 1972 at all. So.
- So, and of course, having Christmas with your children, right? Let me tell you a story about that. Okay.
- So one year when the boys, we lived in Mishawaka, Indiana, and my wife and I had a conversation about
- BB guns. And I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Christmas Story. Yeah. Uh-huh. And so we had
- this whole debate and I said, we'll get them goggles.
- to protect their eyes and and we'll have a Targets made for them. It's going to be safe so on Christmas
- morning when we lived on the edge of Mishawaka they got up and each one of our three boys got a BB gun
- and They went out into the field behind our house to shoot them Our neighbor was a retired farmer named
- Carlton. His wife's name was Mary Mary was doing dishes and
- standing at her sink, looking out her kitchen window into the fields behind the house. Right. And as
- she saw our boys take their BB guns out into the field, she said to her husband, Oh, no, Carlton, the
- Finstermacher boys have gotten BB guns for Christmas. Really? Yeah. They like them. That's really. So anyway,
- Mark Fenstermacher. So I'm really excited. I'm going to have you tell us more about it. So we're going
- to pause the video, go to 15 minutes at a time on that machine there. So we're going to pause. I'm going
- to have you stay right here in part two.
- So we're going to have part two with Mark Finster-Marker. So stay with us and we'll be right back. Welcome
- back with part two with Mark Finster-Marker on the Lennon Beasy Show, second annual Christmas special,
- everybody. So here again, once again, is Mark Finster-Marker.
- Len, good to see you. Good to see you. So, yes, so after, before the commercial break, we had, I had
- to put a part one in because of the machine. We had machines. This machine video machine goes up to
- 15 minutes at a time. So, however, now we're back in progress. So now we're back in part two. So,
- Of course, there'd be conclusion, however. So, let's have you continue on where you left off, okay,
- Mark? Well, we talked about BB guns and the boys getting those as a gift, but I have a lot of good memories
- of Christmas, time with the family, and especially time at worship. And so, one of the stories, I've
- got a lot of stories, Lenin. Yes.
- very young and in North Carolina, our little three year old, two year old, I was serving communion in
- a little country church. We had candles lit and people could come and receive communion and then go.
- And our two year old, as I serve people and I started and I went down the row and when I went past Brian,
- he said this, thank you daddy. And I kept going and I thought, well, you know, he'll get quiet.
- Well, he repeated that. He got louder. Thank you, daddy. And I kept going to serve people. And finally,
- a third time, he said, I said, thank you, daddy. And I said, yeah. And I stopped and I looked back and
- I said, you're welcome, Brian. So I have memories of that. I have memories of a sanctuary in Elkhart
- when I was very, very young. I had just gotten out of seminary. The sanctuary was packed.
- Wow. It was so warm. We had to open the doors outside and it was in Elkhart, Indiana, in northern Indiana.
- It was very cold. And the service went long and I stood up to preach. I was an associate pastor. I stood
- up to preach and it was like five till 12 midnight. And not only was the sermon to take place but also
- we were going to have communion and another special song by the choir and a closing hymn. And I thought
- we're going to run over.
- And so I stood up and I told people that, I asked people, I said, what do you call a cat that walks
- across the desert? Sandy paws. And then I said to them, what does Santa Claus do in his garden? Ho,
- ho, ho. And then I said, after I told those two jokes, I said a little boy had written a note on a package.
- And that was in the offering plate. And on the package, a little boy had written a note, happy birthday,
- Jesus. Yes. And I said to people, I'm just going to tell you those two jokes and tell you tonight that
- what we're here to do is to say happy birthday, Jesus. And I sat down. The whole sermon took about four
- minutes. Wow. And people never forgot that sermon, but they would forget the 25 minute ones, but they
- didn't forget the four minute one. Right. Absolutely.
- So Mr. Mark Fensterbacher, so I'm glad you're doing great at First United Methodist Church and of course
- your wife Sharon doing well. So is your wife retired already? She is a professional full-time grandma.
- Wow. Yeah. And so she spends a lot of time in Columbus, Ohio with our granddaughters. We have two granddaughters.
- And she spends some time in Lincoln Park in Chicago on the north side with two little grandsons. And
- she spends a little time in Alexandria, Virginia with a beautiful little boy named Grant. So she spends
- a lot of time kind of on the road helping out with the grandchildren. Yeah. Yes. So she's coming home.
- She is home. And in fact, a little later, we'll plan on
- heading off to Columbus, Ohio and seeing those two granddaughters for a while. Yes. And she lives in
- Bloomington. My wife lives in Bloomington. She's an IU graduate. And so we're both Hoosiers, as are
- two of our sons are both IU graduates and my father's an IU graduate. So we're kind of an Indiana family.
- Right. And your father all right passed away, right? No, my father is more my biological father died
- when I was very young. He's actually buried in the Congo in a place called Wimblenyama. Yeah. But my
- stepfather, Bob Finstermacher, who adopted me and my brother when we were very young, he is 91 years
- old. He lives in South Bend by himself, lives in a condo. And on Thanksgiving, he hosted 25 members
- of the family.
- So 25 of us gathered at my dad's house for Thanksgiving. Yes, indeed. To 91. So born 1927. You're better
- at that than I am. And sometimes, you know, he'll actually get in his car and he'll drive to Bloomington
- to come down and hear me preach and spend the weekend. Right. And about once a month he drives to Chicago
- to hear the symphony orchestra.
- Right. And he's 91. 91. Wow. So he's still married, right? My mother is gone. My mother died of pancreatic
- cancer back in 2000. So she's been gone for 18 years. Wow. Yeah. So he is not married no more. He's
- not married. No. A widower. He's a widower and he's okay. He's pretty happy. Yeah. He's okay. Yup.
- A widower. So and how many years he been married?
- You know, I think they were married in 1956. 1956. Yeah, so what is that? 44. 44 years. 44 years in
- 2000. Yeah, she was a great lady. She was a wonderful speaker and one of the best preachers I've ever
- heard. And loved the church, loved Jesus, loved people. And how old she was? I think she was 73 when
- she passed away. 73, wow.
- 73, in 2000. We're in that 2000, and she was born in also 1927. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when she died?
- You know, she died in May. In May, and when's her birthday? I'm not sure. I'm not sure, I've forgotten.
- So, yeah. Right, probably if it's before,
- when she died before she had her birthday, it'd be 1926. So it didn't take long, but she was a wonderful
- person, a wonderful mom, and like I said, she was a great speaker and loved all kinds of people. So
- we lived in Belgium, and we lived in Africa, and we lived in Alaska, and we lived in Indiana, lived
- in Pennsylvania, but she had a way of reaching out and loving people in a really amazing way.
- Yes, that's right. So now, Mark Fenstermacher, so anything else you want to talk about about this Christmas
- special? Here's what I'd say, and I'm a Christian pastor, right? Yes. So here's what I'd say to everyone,
- whether they go to church or not, whether they're a Buddhist, a Muslim, whatever, Hindu, Jewish,
- is that God loves us. God loves all of us. God loves the world. God loves us when we get life right
- and God loves us when we get life wrong. God loves us when we succeed and God loves us when we fail.
- And so I want people to know that. I think that sometimes that's the most difficult lesson to believe
- is that we're loved. And it's true. It's true.
- So that's right. So you like Miracle on 34th Street. I think it's a great movie. And I like the old
- one, the black and white one. Yes. Yeah. And I like Chris Kringle. Right. And I can't remember the name
- of the man who played the lead, but Maureen O'Hara, I think, played the woman. Right. And it's a great
- story. In fact, the first time I ever saw that was at a hospital Christmas party in Nome, Alaska. My
- dad rented the movie and showed it.
- That was a big deal, yeah. And Home Alone. Home Alone is a great movie, I think. And Elf. Elf is a great
- movie. And Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a good movie. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, I like it when John
- Candy's driving down the road in that convertible that's been on fire, you know. And Steve Martin. Yeah,
- and the police officer comes up and says, do you think this is safe to drive?
- So I like that movie and I like I like Christmas story. Right. You're you're you want a red writer BB
- gun. You're going to shoot your eye out kid. I like that movie too. So I'm glad you're here. Mark Fence
- the marker song.

- So family, friends, just kind of celebrating it's a nice thing. All the lights and
- Like we went to the canopy of lights last week, where they turned on the lights downtown, so that was
- nice. Oh yeah, that's right. So, just lots to enjoy about Christmas. As a kid, my favorite part was
- getting presents. And that's still nice, but it's probably not my favorite thing anymore. Right. How
- about you? I used to do Christmas, go to church on search service, candlelight service. So I still do
- every year.
- So, yep, however, I do know that now let's go to Laura. So, what do you like on Christmas? Well, I like
- all the things, Matt, then. I like getting all of the family together, especially now that we have kids.
- It's fun to watch my nieces and nephews play with my kids and watch them. Them opening presents is very
- fun. Eric knows that he's getting a fish this year, and he's very excited to have his first pet.
- I can't wait for that. And I want that silver fish. The silver fish? Yeah, the silver fish. We're excited

- however at this time, I just want to tell you that it's so pleased to have you on my show, on the family
- guests, on the show, on the Christmas special. Well, thank you for having us. By the way,
- I just want to let you know, too, that I'm really excited about, oh, you was on the Mike Adams show
- last year. I was, yeah. Are you going to be on again this year? I don't know. You were sort of in prompt
- to appearance. Prompt to. I was prompt to, so because I was unexpectedly. So I've been a special guest.
- It's unexpectedly. I was.
- I was a very special guest on The Mike Adams Show. A special guest. That was very cool. Surprise guest.
- A surprise guest, as a matter of fact. Yes, that's right, Matt. So yes, it was a surprise guest. Are
- you going to try to attend this year? Apparently. We're going to try to go as well. Right.
- But it's hard. You have to try and get someone to watch these kids. Yes, I know it's hard. Babysitters
- are hard, really.
- We're lucky because my mom and Matt's mom help us a lot. Yes. However, at this time. So I do know that
- I'm so excited about this day of Christmas. So apparently it's going to be a wonderful time. So I'm
- going to load it back on YouTube because I haven't had a chance because I've been really
- I'm busy with my job. I have a short staff. Do you have the two jobs? That's more than most people.
- Do you have any more jobs? No, I don't. Just two, yes. That's a lot. Two is a lot of jobs. Yes. Do you
- like one more than the other? Actually, both the same. So, yep, indeed. So, I really want to tell you
- it's a great time
- of having fellowship with you guys on the Lenin B.C. Show on this television set. So I would love to
- enjoy having you back on the show. Yes, what do you think about this Christmas being on the guest on
- my show? It was wonderful. Can't wait for next year. Yes, indeed. So if you would please stay right here.
- This is Evie, Elaine, however, Michael, and of course, Eric, Laura, and Matt. The Stottwell family,
- ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back for more Christmas special. Let it be the show. Stay with
- us. We'll be right back.
- Okay, welcome back to the Let It Be Easy Show second annual Christmas special right now at this time.
- So I really appreciate all of you viewers at home watching this Christmas special on Let It Be Easy
- Show second anniversary special, second annual special. However, at this time, let me introduce was
- a musical guest for a while and now
- Back to a regular guest this time. So, and however, he is one of the in my announcers on my show.
- Of course, from Kid Kazooie and Teen Stratages from the library. However, this time I would like to
- introduce Kevin McDowell, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, Lenin. Yes, hello, Kevin. How are you, sir? I'm
- doing real good. It's nice to be on the show again.
- And I like that I get to do so many different things on the Lenin Beasley Show. Sometimes I'm playing
- a guitar. Sometimes I'm playing a bass. Sometimes I'm playing keyboards. Sometimes I'm doing announcing.
- Sometimes I'm doing library staff casting director. And sometimes, like today, I'm just sitting and
- talking. Indeed. Yes, sir. I really
- Appreciate that. So, yeah, what do you think about this Christmas special right now at this time? I
- think it's great that the Lennon Beasley Show is taking time out to recognize one of the many great
- holidays during the winter season. And by winter season, I'm speaking, of course, of the Northern
- Hemisphere's indigatory preferences
- for December holidays, because of course, they even celebrate holidays during the month of December
- in the southern hemisphere, but then to them, it's summer, right? Yes. So it's not something you think
- about a lot, but people in South America or Africa or Australia,
- People who live in the southern hemisphere of the planet Earth, they celebrate, say, Christmas in December
- during the summer. Yeah. So Christmas does happen in the summer. Really? Yeah. Depending on which part
- of the planet you live on. Because it's not winter in December everywhere on Earth. No. Only north of
- the equator. You know what I mean? Yeah.
- But then the other thing is there's so many different holidays besides Christmas, right? Yes. What other
- holidays happen in December, do you know? I know New Year's Day, New Year's Eve. Right, right. And Hanukkah.
- Hanukkah, right. Boxing day. Yeah. However, a day after Christmas. Kwanzaa, how about Kwanzaa? I did
- not know about Kwanzaa. Oh yeah, Kwanzaa is an African American
- holiday that also celebrates the African culture of African Americans. And I might even be getting some
- of that wrong because it's not part of my direct culture. But just like I don't know that much about
- Ramadan, but I know that Ramadan is another religious holiday that is celebrated in the month of December.
- And I do believe that that is part of
- The Indian culture, I believe, or maybe Arabic culture. I'm most familiar with Christmas, though. Because
- that's part of my cultural perspective is Christmas. Yes. Yep. So I really like the holidays. And I
- think it's fun when people remind us of what's important about holidays. Let me ask you.
- Why is the Lenin Beasley show celebrating Christmas with this special episode? Well, I decided to do
- it in the studio for the first time ever. So in the studio last year we didn't. I had it with Ken and
- Bonnie Todd's home. I forgot what the address was, but I don't want to give it out on the show at all. So
- What do you like about Christmas? However, I like to sleep in. You like to sleep in on Christmas? Yes.
- That's wonderful. I like to sleep in on every day I possibly can. Right. I don't get to sleep in on
- Christmas, though. No, you don't. No. So, you don't.
- Do you want to ask me why not? Yes. Why? We usually go out of town on Christmas morning so that we can
- get to my mom and my mom's house with all of my family and they live out of town and they live several
- hours away. And so we have to get up early on Christmas morning so that we can drive over the river
- and through the woods.
- Yes. So we have to wake up early. Right. Yeah. We celebrate our Bloomington Christmas with our Bloomington
- family on Christmas Eve. Right. Yeah. Who will you get to celebrate Christmas with this year? Um, I
- don't know at all. So probably not going anywhere. Probably going to sleep in however. Right.
- Will you go to church on Christmas Eve? Is that something you do? I do know I'll go to church on Christmas
- Eve, however. Yeah. And you go to a couple different churches, right? Right. Have you ever gone to more
- than one church on Christmas Eve? I know I must have, yes. Yeah. That's good. And do you ever go to
- a church service on Christmas Eve?
- where they light a candle, and then everyone lights the candle next to this. I love doing that. And
- they bring the lights down low, and then the church sanctuary is lit just with all of the candles held
- by the people in the congregation. Right. Yeah, and sometimes that's a good time to sing Silent Night.
- Yes. Do you like that song? Oh yeah, oh yeah.
- So, indeed, I sure do. Do you like other Christmas songs? I believe I do love Christmas songs. Jingle
- Bell Rock have a holly jolly Christmas, however. Here comes Santa Claus. Here comes Santa Claus sleigh.
- Yeah. Do you like to go Christmas, Carolyn? I used to do that when I was a kid, but I don't now.
- Do you sing Christmas songs at the churches that you go to? Yes, I do. Like, We Three Kings of Orient
- are? Apparently. Joy to the World? Yes, we know they're singing Joy to the World, I know that. I really
- like Angels We Have Heard on High. Oh yeah. That's the one that goes,
- You know that one? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's the most syllables to say one word that I've ever heard.
- Right. Let's count those syllables. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
- twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen. Nineteen syllables just
- to sing the word glory. Yes. That's awesome. Right.
- So, that's right. So... Have you ever recorded any Christmas songs? I know you record a lot of music.
- No Christmas songs at all. Zero. Maybe one of these days, the Lennon Beasley will have a new recording
- of Christmas songs. And maybe some of them you'll write and some of them can be traditional Christmas
- songs. Or maybe you'll write all of them. Maybe. So, we'll have to see.
- So I have to see Mr. Kevin. Sometimes though, Christmas also sometimes makes people sad, right? Yes.
- I know that your mama has passed away. Yes. And it must be very sad when Christmas comes and you don't
- get to spend Christmas with her. Yes. And I know that there are other people out there too that find
- Christmas to be a
- very sad time. Right. So, um, Kevin, apparently I just want to tell you that, um, I really want to tell
- you, um, I'm absolutely having a great Christmas, um, uh, taping sessions, um, in second annual. So, um,
- And of course, I hope we're going to make it to the fourth annual anniversary special of The Lenin Beasley
- Show in late March. OK. So hopefully, we're going to have it happen. That's right. And this is a good
- opportunity to remind all of you listeners out there, if you want to help make sure that The Lenin Beasley
- Show stays strong and with it
- We encourage you to get a hold of Lenin Beasley and you can even be a guest on his show, right? Yes.
- What kinds of things do guests on your show do? Well, all kinds, however. I would say all kinds. It's
- a number of lists. It's a number of things. Yeah. I'm going to give an answer is all kinds. Yeah. That's right.
- All kinds very good. So if you're out there and you enjoy the show And you would like to be on TV yourself
- Just get a hold of Lenin and you sit in this chair and have a conversation with Lenin Yes Oh Yeah, by
- the way Kevin I Before we go any further
- I just wanna let you know, Kevin, that we really need guests on my show. And this year, 2018 is really
- rough. It's really rough. I already lost eight people on the show, including announcer, first announcer
- to ever get on a black list on
- The Lenin Beats The Show for the first time, and we're made a blacklist for the first time. So, first
- announcer. So sometimes there are great challenges and adversities to overcome in life. Yeah. Yep, it's
- not always easy. Absolutely not. In fact, sometimes we experience failures in our life. It's happened
- to me too.
- There are times where I tried to make something happen and I couldn't get it off the ground and I had
- to turn away from it and start fresh with something new. And I know that you're even wondering if you
- might have to do that with the Lenin Beasley show. And that would be really a hard and sad choice to
- have to make. I hope you don't have to make it and I hope that we can get some
- some of your fans out here to the Monroe County Public Library. Get on this here show. So we've been
- having unanswered messages to share. So unanswered messages to share. So I can't afford waiting too
- long with the yellow list way too long.
- cause us to break down the Lenin Visa show and crashing at a little at a time into pieces. Yep. Yep.
- I know what you mean. And yet sometimes maybe, you know, there's a saying, you know, I used to go to
- church also. I used to work at a church. Did you know that? Oh yeah. Yeah. I was a youth minister.
- Oh yeah. That's right. Yep. And, um, the,
- the head pastor of the church that I worked at used to tell me, sometimes when God closes a door, she
- opens a window. Which means, I think, sometimes when it looks like something isn't going to happen over
- here, you have to look somewhere else to see what are the other opportunities. Meaning,
- Can you think of any TV shows that are successful that don't have special guests all the time? I don't.
- Oh, I know of some. I know of some. Because all that to say, sometimes you can just make up your own
- episodes. The Lenin Beasley Show could
- continue going if you decided that having interviews like this one wasn't the most important thing.
- For instance, you always put stuff on your show that involves just you, like when you play the guitar
- or sing a song, right? Yep. The Lenin B's show really involve interviews and all that. Well, and if
- you're unwilling to change,
- I am unwilling to change. Then part of that choice is your own choice, right? You are saying that. So
- it won't necessarily be other people's fault if the show stops. You'll have to own some of
- that responsibility because of your unwillingness to change too, right? Yes.
- I never had a pastor at a church I worked at said this, but I know I've heard this saying before, you
- make your bed, you sleep in it. Meaning, if you make a choice, whatever consequences come from making
- that choice, you have to accept responsibility for those. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, apparently, Kevin, I do
- want to tell you on this Christmas special,
- Last year, we've already done 44 tapings last year, 2017. Video taping recording sessions completed,
- 44 episodes recorded. Sure is a lot. However, 2018, we've already done only 28. Only 28. 16 episodes
- dropped down.
- Yeah, see now if it if it were me And or my wife who always gives me good advice I would just think
- well what would maybe maybe I could keep the show going if I just made it shorter or didn't produce
- as many per year and Concentrate less on the quantity and more on the quality but I don't know if you'd be
- You might be resistant to thinking that way. I have to reject that. Yep. So I'm going to reject it.
- My wife sometimes says about me, does it always have to be all or nothing with you? Of course it doesn't,
- especially when she tells me that. Oh, yeah.
- But sometimes I think it's common for humans to get an idea and get hooked on an idea and think that
- that way of doing things is the only way. And I don't want anything on either side of it. I only want
- straight down the middle as to what I
- think is the way it ought to be. And I know that in my life when I think like that, I tend to have failures
- because I'm not opening myself up to all the world of possibilities all around me. And so I kind of
- don't mind it when my wife says that to me because that's a reminder that I'm thinking about a certain
- situation or problem with blinders on where I'm not seeing a really wonderful possibility over here
- or over here because I'm kind of being stubborn and only thinking of one thing. And so I like it when
- she says that to me because it reminds me to stop, slow down, and ask myself, might there be another
- way to solve this problem that I'm considering?
- And I really like doing that in my life. I really like putting myself in check and saying, now, Kevin,
- you don't have to be so stubborn, do you? Why don't you consider some other possibilities? Because I'm
- only one person, and my brain, even though it works pretty good, is not the one singular brain that
- can think of every possibility in the universe.
- I need to listen to other people's advice and get other ideas and consider a vast, what's the word I'm
- looking for? A vast plethora of cornucopia of possibilities. Because then I might be able to come upon
- a solution. But I'll tell you what, even then when I do that, there's times where I just have to
- Walk away. I mostly did that so I could get my drink. Yep. Yeah, so... Let me ask you, what else is
- gonna be on this special Christmas episode? Well, I think I already had a new... I already had a new
- guest on our show last time. It was Jennifer Moore. Oh yeah? Did you have a good interview? It was...
- Good interview, yes. What do I have to look forward to in watching that? Give me just a little sneak
- preview of what that conversation was about. Sneak preview? I don't do sneak previews. Oh, okay.
- No spoilers, right? Right. I'll just have to tune in and watch it. Yes, you have to tune in.
- But it went well? But it went well, I know. Everything went well, however. Is there going to be any
- special music on the
- Christmas episode? Um, we'll find out. So yeah, cause you're not going to give away any secrets, right?
- Right. So we'll find out cause, um, I wanted to, uh, tell you, um, so in Christmas special here, so
- I'm glad we'll have you on the guest on my show on a Christmas special.
- So it doesn't matter how many episodes I produce of the Linen Bees show itself. So it doesn't matter
- what the number is high or low. Give me five. Give me five. However, I'd rather bring guests on the
- show. Sure. Even though it's 12 or 13. So we're going to involve guests on the show.
- Three years ago, almost four years, when I first started the Let it Be Show, I was in by myself. And
- I used to be that, but I don't feel comfortable by myself the whole episode, period. I don't
- feel comfortable. However, that's why we're having guests. God, that makes sense. So that's why we're
- bringing guests on the show. It always comes guests. So others first. Yep. So others first.
- and before me, so. That's not. Because I'd rather do others first, rather not, I'd rather have guests
- on the show first. Yeah, okay. So that's why. That makes, that's very thoughtful. Others first. Yes.
- That's not only, that not only helps me understand more where you're coming from, but it also shows me
- more of that big Lennon Beasley heart, which that is our heart on, that big heart where you care more
- about others than yourself, right? Yes. All right, that's wonderful. Have you ever had, you work outside
- of the show here at the library, you work, am I allowed to say it? Hardware at McDonald's. Bloomington
- Hardware and McDonald's on East Third, right? Yeah. Do you ever have the,
- privilege and the honor of hosting guests on the show from Bloomington that you work with at Bloomington.
- I already brought Vicky on the show this season ago. That's wonderful. So do you ever ask any of your
- other fellow employees? No. How come? I wonder. They don't have the time.
- Well, how do you know that if you haven't asked them? I already asked them. Oh, when I asked you if
- you had asked them, I thought you said... I already asked them. And some people don't like to be on
- TV either. That's true. I'm surprised by that. I love being on TV. Yep. So, before we're taking a commercial
- break, let me tell you, we dropped 16 episodes down to 28 episodes for the year 2018 alone.
- Which is, that's still a lot, right? I think so. It is. However, we, but still, even though it's a lot,
- 28 episodes is still good amount of programs of the year. So at least we need at least 25 episodes per
- year. So on a Lenny Beasley show, but we made three episodes over the minimum range. So,
- which is 28 highest is 44 from last year of 2017. However, in 2018, we got 28 programs, which is that's
- still good. However, we still need to still really need work on that some more. So for 2019, however,
- I just want to let you know, we hope we're going to enter in season six.
- We're a little bit easy show. We're getting really close to five, uh, season five finale, really close,
- like two episodes away, which means we're going to carry on in 2019. So 2019. That sure would be great.
- So, yep. However, at this time, I'm absolutely want to say, uh, I'm really,
- encourage you to go book online for the Lenin Beastly Show, beastlylenin.wixsite.com. Forward slash
- Lenin Beastly Show. Indeed. So we need to work before we close. We need to work on some more getting
- guests on my show, Library Staff for 2019. As the Library Staff Casting Director,
- I do the best that I can. Yes, indeed. Yep, it's a hard job. I know. So I know it's a hard job. We're
- all going to do our part, too. That's right. So and to try to get guests on my show to keep the Let
- It Be Easy show alive here. So. Yeah. And it's been a rough 2018, have we?
- I guess in some ways it is it is and it has but I already lost eight people and Angelina don't want
- to be on the show Delayed four times Canceled on me four times and she's terminated Jack Told me I have
- another guess
- told me, don't call me, don't call me, he has other stuff, family issues. I decided to put him on a
- blacklist. So, which means I did, so. So. I don't know what to say, buddy. I don't know what to say,
- and of course, we're also losing a lot, a lot, there's a number, and especially we lost our first announcer.
- for 2018, which was Jane. Jane Cronkite used to be my announcer for the Lena Beasley show. Look what
- happened. No call, no show. Let me know for the last minute. And that's a double whammy. And then she
- did it again. That's now quadruple whammy. And then she is definitely out. Well, she's also trying to
- run a library. I know. That's right. She's trying to make sure that the
- Digital Creativity Center and the rest of the library stays open so people can use it. So at least let's
- remember that Jane Cronkite works very hard to make sure that you have a place to come to to make a
- show. Yes, we sure do. Yes, at least she's not terminated at the library, however. Thank goodness. I'll
- tell you what, she's a great boss. Yeah, but however, she is terminated from the Lenny Meesey Show.
- We're talking about the Lenin Beasley Show here. Yes, right. The Lenin Beasley Show that's produced
- and recorded in the Monroe County Public Library for free. It doesn't cost you any money at all. All
- you need is your library account. Yes. Oh, of course. If it's through me, there's a video taping studio
- at Rewind, too. So I've done some taping sessions at Rewind. Oh, very good.
- So I've done it since season two. So almost three years ago in April 2016. And you're still making shows
- for Cats? It is Cats and of course they're renovating right now. How often do you give copies of the
- Lenin Beasley show to Cats to air on Channel 3 or 7? It varies. It's an up in the air thing really.
- I just want to remind everyone that
- Watching that you can make a TV show yourself if you want to come on to the library and you can either
- make it on your own and or make it here in the digital creativity center and if you want to the library
- will show it on Cable TV because the library has how many cable TV stations five five so you just want
- to talk to the people at cats and feel free to make your show and
- here at the Digital Creativity Center, just like Lenin. Yes. So I've been really busy a lot at my job,
- saying I've been sleeping in a lot this year, too. I'm busy with making music. I'll get back on, catch
- it up some episodes, so the Lenin Music Show will put it up in YouTube again, because I've been so busy
- and performing. You've been gigging a lot. I've been doing a lot of gigs.
- If you, ladies and gentlemen, have not seen this man perform live on stage at one of Bloomington's great
- night clubs, check him out. You've got a gig coming up at the Player's Pub on December... January 18th.
- Is that your next gig? Yes, it is. January 18th at 5 to 7 at Player's Pub. And that's a Friday night.
- It sure is a Friday night indeed. Yep, and so you should see him perform.
- very good performer, very dynamic and magnetic, and a lot of fun to watch. And when you perform, you
- sing and play from the heart. Yes. Yes, you do. And you also are performing, usually you'll sing and
- play guitar, but then you're performing two backtracks of drums and keyboard and bass, and you've recorded
- all of those backtracks yourself
- here in the recording studios at the library, right? Yes. Yeah. And those are very, those, those recordings
- are very high quality, Lenin. I know. I sure know. I'm very, I'm very impressed. And it's, and I've,
- I've gotten to see you perform two or three times and, and I love it. And I know that I,
- I had to miss your last gig at the Blockhouse, but any of the other times I've seen you perform, you
- had me hootin' and hollerin' and screamin' your name, Lenin! Lenin! Just like a crazy teenager at a
- Beatles concert. Yes. So, indeed, we need to do better in 2019 still.
- We're still going to do better in 2019. Well, I hope that I'm not the only one who you expect to do
- better. Yeah. And we're all going to do better. We're all going to do better. We're going to work as
- a team. Right. And maybe one of the things that we have to do to work as a team is explore other ways
- to be successful. Yes. OK.
- He said, yes, you heard it, ladies and gentlemen. Anyhow, Kevin McDowell, what a great, long interview.
- This is very great, of course, about the Christmas story and, of course, the Lenin Beasley Show situation
- of the year 2018 alone. Yeah, in fact, we've talked so much about the Lenin Beasley Show situation that
- maybe we should talk some more about Christmas.
- Yeah, we do need to talk some more about Christmas. I know that you're not going to tell me because
- I've already asked a few questions and said you're not going to give any secrets. So I'm not going to
- ask this as a question, but I'm going to make it as a statement and say that I hope that this Lenin
- Beasley special Christmas episode has a little segment about the Christmas story. Yeah. Yeah.
- Right. Do you like to tell stories? Sometimes. Could you tell a little story about Mary and Joseph?
- How they have to go outside of their community and try to find some place where they can be safe to
- have a little baby? In Bethlehem. Right. Because they weren't from Bethlehem, were they?
- Why did they have to leave? Where are they from? Nazareth? Jerusalem. They're from Jerusalem?
- I don't know. It's hard. I think they might be from Nazareth. I know that Jesus, as a young man, and
- once he started his ministry, I think he was from Nazareth. And they had to go somewhere else. And I
- think maybe it was Bethlehem where they had to go because that's where Joseph was from.
- He was the patriarch and they had to, for the consensus reasons, but there was no place for them to
- stay. Right. So they had to sleep with the pigs. Yes. And the sheep. Yes. And the snakes and the spiders.
- Right. Who knows what all was in that little manger. Right. That's where baby Jesus was born, right?
- Yes, indeed.
- So, Mr. Kevin McDowell, so I'm so pleased to have you on my show. It's a really good, big, long interview,
- so, and this Christmas special, The Let It Be Easy Show, very long special. It is a more than two-hour
- episode. I just, I forgot to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, it is more than a two-hour episode on this
- Christmas special, The Let It Be Easy Show.
- I just want to remind you guys, so I just want to let you guys know. Not that longer is better. Longer
- is better. Oh no, not always. I disagree. I don't think longer is always better. I think better is better.
- Better is better, however. Better is better even though it's longer, so better is better. Better is better.
- Yep. Of course, video announcements already taking place every episode. Okay. So as always, spent it
- for almost two years. So for video announcements came in. So since season three. So anyway, so that's
- why we're taking, it used to be a 60 minute and now it's going to 90 minutes is the minimum.
- Hey, look who's there. So, if you would stay right here real quick. Kevin, it was so good to see you
- on the Lenny BC Show Second Annual Christmas Special. Thank you so much for having me, Lenny. Yes, indeed.
- And of course, Kevin McDonald, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back for our Lenny BC Show Second
- Annual Christmas Special.
- Right after this! Hey, welcome back to the Lennon B.C. Show Second Annual Christmas Special Program
- Special, everybody. Yes, indeed. This continues on this episode, however, at this time.
- I'm really thrilled that I already went to her restaurant and was the owner of her restaurant years
- ago. So I am finally brought her with me and let me introduce my another new guests on my show. That's
- two new guests together so far in this episode. However,
- I would like to introduce my new guest and her first appearance on my show, which is a good Christmas
- present for me as for you to be on my show as your first appearance. Ladies and gentlemen, from Rachel's
- Cafe was the owner of Rachel's Cafe in Bloomington, Indiana. Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Rachel Jones.
- All right. Hi, Rachel. How are you? I'm good. And you? I'm wonderful, Rachel. So it was so wonderful
- to see you. So I was there with Rachel's Cafe closing. Yes. So around three years ago. So yes,
- I was there. So.
- Indeed. Wow. So I guess will you tell me about, we're going to have a Christmas special. I would like
- to have you tell us about what would you do for Christmas. But since it's a new guest on my show, your
- first appearance. Now tell me about your restaurant from Rachel's Cafe years ago. Okay.
- Well, I had a local restaurant here for eight years called Rachel's Cafe. And we were kind of eclectic,
- I think. Tried to create an atmosphere where everybody was welcome. We made a lot of homemade food and
- tried to be reasonable on our price. I'm not sure what you'd like to know. Yeah. We had a couple of
- highlights.
- We had a call from Barack Obama, the first election. That was kind of special to me. So many things
- happened in the eight years that it's hard to express. It was a big coming out for me. Being able to
- work and live as who I want to be happened through the cafe as well. And that's kind of why I opened it as a
- a way for people to be able to be who they are. One of the reasons. Right. So I'm glad your eight years
- in service of Rachel's Cafe went really well. Unfortunately, they're closing down in 2015. That was
- a tough thing. My landlord priced us out. I couldn't afford it. But she's a businesswoman. That's just
- life. Yeah.
- I know. So it is. So and then, however, I glad you're finally came on my show. Well, thank you for calling
- and asking me, Lena. Yes, indeed, Miss Rachel Jones. So the Lenin Beasley show. So that's really great,
- Miss Rachel Jones.
- So I'm absolutely excited to have you on my show here. So also I'm a songwriter too. So I wrote those
- songs. These boots are made for dancing. Nice. So I really love that song. And also you have on brown
- boots. I like boots too. Yes. Especially this time of year.
- especially this time of year, wow. So you really enjoyed this day. So how was your year 2018 going?
- Life's an amazing journey, Len, and how is 2018 going? My 2018 is doing all right.
- Good. So what do you like to do for Christmas every year, Rachel? I'm going to go to my nieces this
- year. It'll be a family gathering. Looking forward to it. Unfortunately, none of my children will be
- there. Really? I have a daughter in Vietnam right now teaching English and a daughter that will be visiting
- my ex-wife in Florida. And my son will be in Florida too. Your daughter visiting her ex-wife.
- My ex-wife. Your ex-wife. Uh-huh. Wow. So your ex-wife. Wow. Did you know I had three children? I noticed
- that, yeah. Okay. So I heard about it three years ago, four years ago. However, I know now. Now I know
- again. I'm glad you reminded me.
- What will you be doing for Christmas, honey? I really want to tell you, I'm absolutely going to be sleeping
- in. Okay, sleeping's good. Yes, absolutely, honey. I just want to let you know I'm absolutely looking
- forward to this 2019. We would love to have you coming back on my show in 2019.
- So we would love to call you over to have you on my show. What are your expectations for 2019?
- What are you, why are you so excited about it? Um, 2019, cause we need a more lit of easy show recording
- taping sessions. It's for sure. However, I'm a 2019, I'm going to have more music albums. Do you have
- another song in the works? I, Oh yeah. Six albums in the works.
- Is that right? Yes, that's right. So I know it's Friend Day part three, Friend Day part three,
- fashion show, love, 24 hour, 24 hour, romance 24 seven. And love is the answer. That's probably a duet.
- Do you sing a duet at all? Me? No, you know what?
- I used to sing bass in the church choir, and that's not something I want to do. So I don't sing. Well,
- you don't sing. OK. So I do sing. I know I'm a singer on a recording artist. Good for you. So I've made
- 41 albums in the six years. That's pretty prolific. Mm-hmm.
- And I've been in the recording studios with not making albums when I was in my 20s. But in my 30s, I
- decided to do it, which means I did it. How old are you? 36? 37, I'm sorry. 37. This is a Christmas
- special episode. I just turned 37. So anyhow, I just want to let you know, Ms. Rachel,
- So I'm absolutely excited to have you here on my show. So you're doing for Christmas. You're seeing
- your family, right? I am, yes. However, what are you doing for Christmas when you was a little girl?
- Well, I was a little boy. Little boy. What did I do for Christmas when I was a little boy? It was a
- family gathering also, which was nice. I grew up in Brown County.
- in a lawn cabin out in the woods and over the river and through the woods everybody came and visited.
- It was beautiful. Wow. Wow, Rachel. So, and then I'm really excited for that. You was a little boy.
- Absolutely. I won't say I wasn't confused. I certainly was, but yes. Right.
- So, and then now it's a woman, so. So, transgender. Transgender, yes I am. Wow. So, anyhow, I'm noticing
- three years ago, so. So, transgender, so. I would have thought you noticed before three years ago,
- but yes. So when I opened the cafe,
- I literally came out because I went to work as Rachel. Yes. Rachel. So yes, indeed. So Rachel, I just
- want to tell you, I'm really excited about my music albums will be coming out in 2019. So don't know.
- It's all in the works for now. Right. So I really love
- The Lenny Beasley Show taping sessions with guests. So video announcements done for two years. So and
- now it's real, it still needs to go on. So video announcements for Lenny Beasley Show. What got you
- interested in having a show, Lenny? Oh yeah, from the Mike, a spinoff from the Mike Adams Show. So at
- the Bishop, so I go see. However,
- I already, um, doing, um, uh, a spinoff from the Mike Adam show. It's, uh, like a talk show from David
- Letterman show. Okay. So that's kind of your ideal. I was my idea. Yes, it was nice. So of course Carol
- Burnett show. Well, they all told jokes. Yes. Do you do anything funny like that? Sometimes we do. So
- sometimes we do jokes sometimes. So.
- Yeah, indeed. It is, I already had Kevin McDowell last, before, after the commercial break, actually
- before the commercial break, I'll take that back. I already have a guest, Kevin McDowell, as a regular
- guest, usually a musical guest every time. However, when this Christmas special, Kevin already doing
- a regular guest this time.
- So before you so and before the break and After the break I saw Kevin when I arrived it was nice to
- see him Yes, you play at the cafe on occasion. That's right. Oh You like the Jefferson Street Music

- So anyway, uh, Rachel Jones, I'm really excited about, um, do you play any musical instruments at all?
- I wish no, but you don't at all. Um, I think artistic ability must've skipped me. Really? Uh huh. I
- would like to, I think it'd be so relaxing to play guitar or something like that, but no, I don't. Right.
- So you was a little boy when you had Christmas. I'm glad you did. So in the end, you had Christmas in
- your 20s with your wife, right? Ex-wife. Well, it would have been more late 20s and 30s and 40s,

- Second anniversary of let it be easy show. I know feels good. It's way too long It's not too long very
- good at all and that wasn't a good sign at all way too long That wasn't a good sign. Yeah, I know we're
- saying you had Lewis on once and then you felt like it was a bad sign So you'd have him on again until
- now. Yeah, so Well, yeah glad to be here today
- Cause we need to keep letting music show at least every two to three months to come back. Cause over
- three months that doesn't look good. So, however, um, might need to get a new agent. We'll see. So I
- just want to let you know, uh, I already have, um, lost eight guests on the show this year.
- So I'll talk about that later. But right now, I would like to have you be here on my show, Addison.
- And of course, Lewis, I'm glad you're here right now. Yeah. Glad to be here. I thought we were going
- to be at Ken and Bonnie's. So I sort of geared up for that. But hey, glad to be here in the studio.
- It's the first time in the studio. Yes, it is the first time in the studio, however. Yes. Yeah, it feels good.
- So, we're excited to meet Linda. That's right. But also the other two. Yes. However, now every year,
- let's start with you, Addison. Every year you're doing the Mike Adams set, Mike Adams show for Christmas
- special. Yeah, we generally have a Christmas special. That's one thing that we're always consistent
- about. In fact, there was just talk of trying to meet
- here soon to get the details together. I think it may be Friday. So something for us to talk about with
- our agent, see if our schedules are free. Yes. So indeed. So I really want to tell you, Mr. Addison,
- I've been on the Mike Adams show as a special guest and on a commercial. Yes, you have. That's true.
- So last year, I was unexpectedly surprised guest on the show. Very unexpected. Very unexpected. Yeah,
- it was quite the feat. It was. Yes. So I am really excited about it. So I was last year. Yeah,
- it was fun. Exciting moment. We had a good time. Yeah, it was great.
- And I had you play, Lewis, I had you play keys. That's right, that's right. When I was talking.
- That's right, that's right, you did. So I'm really excited about it, so. And that was really explosive.
- Mike Adams said it's on the Mike Adams show, however. Yeah. It was an exploded crowd. It was, the crowd
- was exploded. Mm-hmm. Because of me, I like preaching.
- Yeah, you're working on preaching, weren't you? Yeah. You ever thought about being a preacher? No. So,
- I just, I introduce things. You just like introducing people. Introducing, yeah. Is that a position
- you can fill? Preacher, introducer? No. Maybe you could do that. Introduce preachers. Yeah. Take care
- of two things. Exactly.
- Yes. Welcome to the stage right now. You're beloved, your favorite, you're loyal. Richard Johnson. I
- was going to say Johnson. Yeah. However, now Mr. Addison, I just really want to let you know, Mr. Addison,
- it's going to be a wonderful time at the Mike Adams Show. Yes, definitely will be. And then so you haven't
- done no Mike Adams Show for a year again.
- It's been a year since we did it last. That's true. It's crazy. It's really something. Really something.
- So I hope you get some more Mike Adams Show episodes in. I agree. I miss doing it regularly. It's a
- great time. But you know what it's like to plan a show. It's hard work. I know. You know about it.
- I know. Apparently,
- I hope we're doing season six on The Lennon Beezer Show. That's the hope. So, because I want to explain
- why in just a few more minutes. However, I'm going to go to Lewis. How are you? I'm doing great. I just
- bought a head for my drum. Really? Which drum? My snare drum. The snare drum. You play drums?
- A little bit, yeah. Really? You know the rhythm, right? I know a little bit about the rhythm, yeah.
- So, yup, indeed. So, I'm really excited about it. That's very exciting. I'm very excited to put the
- new head on my drum. Which head did you go with? I went with a Remo drum head. It's premium. Very fun.
- I love it. I love playing drums. Did you get a battered one? Is there a ring on there? No ring. No ring.
- Just battered.
- Yep, so you play a little bit of drums, Lewis. A little bit of drums, yeah. And guitar, right? And guitar.
- So you play both, right? I play guitar, I play piano, I play bass, drums. Yep. Yep. Yep. One man band.
- One man band. Yeah, well, two man band, really, but specifically. I could be a one man band. Easily.
- Easily. Like you. Right. One man band. Yes.
- Yes, indeed. So when are we going to do an album? When are we going to do an album? Oh, we're doing
- one right now. We're getting an album together right now. That's right. Oh, yeah? Yeah. So I'd like
- to be a guest singer. Guest singer? We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that'd be fun. That'd be fun.
- doing an album. You did with Erin Tobey, right? We have. We have done stuff with Erin Tobey. She hasn't
- been on this album yet, but no, she will be. But she will be, so. So I want to be in it, too. I've been
- left out, so. Oh, well, you know. Not intentionally. No, not at all. I mean, we were left out of the
- latest Coldplay album. That's true. Oh, yeah? They didn't ask us to be a part of it. No. I'm not comparing
- us to Coldplay. Just saying that's an album that we were
- Yeah, but the intentions weren't there. I don't think Chris Martin said, you know, who's not gonna be
- in this record us Bussman's holiday. Yeah I like like was with our last record in you. Yeah So we'll
- probably I like to tell you I really need to be at least one song At least one song
- You've done a lot of songs with Erin Tobey, right? Some, some, a couple. Just a couple. Three or four.
- Three or four, that's still not very much. No, no, no. But she was only a guest. A guest. In return,
- we weren't on Erin Tobey's album. That's right. You weren't. Sometimes you're not right for the track.
- There's nothing personal, it's just not right. Yeah, that's right.
- So apparently, I really needed to be in it, so. Yeah. We can see if we can fit you in somewhere.
- We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, it never helps to crease the pockets of the producers of the
- record. I mean, you know, if two or five or $700 just falls in the way between us and the studio,
- And whose name is written on there? Linda Beasley. That is only joking. Well, I'm joking until it's
- not funny anymore. Because it's reality. So I'm trying to make money on my own music. Yeah, that's good.
- That's a good thing to do. Hard to do at times. Yeah, you're trying to make money too, right? It's true.
- We're all trying to make money. In this business that we are all in,
- Definitely. So mine's iffy, so. Yeah, I agree. Because a lot of people don't want to buy my music no
- more. I don't know. You know, I work over at the record store. I sell one of your albums every once
- in a while. There you go. Consistent sales. Wow, yeah. You sell some stuff. Yeah. I would say you sell
- more than most local artists. Whoa, look at that. Oh, yeah. Dang. You're doing great.
- Well, yeah, but I'm trying to grow as much people as I can. I understand that. Sure. Sorry. Yep.
- And yep, apparently. Well, I know we're going to try to meet together. I have you do an album, a full
- album with me. So all you,
- I use what we're going to do. I do know this. Apparently, I just want to let you know that, um, that
- I got to do the keyboards and vocals first and drums. Cool. And then I know I'm going to do vocals again
- myself too. Yeah. So I'm going to do.
- Since I play drums and vocal, it'll mess the click. And I don't want the click to play in. That's why
- I do the second round on my self of vocals again. However, I do want to tell you is I'm going to give
- you for you to listen
- And then you're again, uh, at least four times. Okay. Listen, at least to my boy singing, however,
- of course, the words, of course, specifically, however, and then we're going to do a recording session
- with me together. So, so figure something out. So, however, we'll probably figure something out. Um,
- Even though we're coming in, so we're coming in. Just noticed that the two of you are sort of seasonally
- dressed. Yeah, we look like we're on a holiday show. Yeah. Oh boy. It is a holiday show right now. It
- is a holiday show. So it is now. It's fun. Oh yeah, however this time. Now let's get back to Addison.
- What did you do for your Christmas last
- years years and years ago well we're talking about years and years and years ago yes I think I made
- made some ornaments for the Christmas tree right out of construction paper yes there's probably another
- one where I made decorations out of what's that stuff called salt salt dough
- It's like dough, but you just use it to make sculptures out of and stuff. Right. Yeah, that makes sense.
- Garland out of popcorn. Yes. Maybe some garland made out of cranberries. Yes. Very cool. Yeah. Years
- and years ago for Christmas. Was there any memories that stick out to you of our Christmases years and
- years ago?
- Sledding. I always like sledding. That's fun. I haven't sled in a long time. Oh yeah, for sure. It's
- not so much snowy outside right now. No. You can't really do that. No, not currently. It was snowy earlier
- this season. I thought it was going to be snowy throughout this whole season. That's what I thought
- too. Not the case. I'm wondering, do you think on Christmas, is there going to be snow? I don't know
- if there's snow. Let's say if you're a betting man. Yeah.
- How much would you bet that it's going to snow on Christmas? How many hundreds of dollars? I really
- don't know. Let's put you down for two and a half hundred dollars. Yeah. All right. I just watched the
- film Battle of the Sexes. You guys watch that one? No. It's about Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs and
- about their match in the 70s and how it's sort of like men versus women. Oh, tennis. Yeah, tennis.
- Oh yeah, I should have said it's about tennis.
- It's got Emma Stone and Steve Carell in it. Yeah, it looked good. Was it good? Yeah. It was pretty enjoyable.
- Yeah. Nice. It was pretty good. I'd say it's well-casted. There's more going on there than I expected.
- Nice. I thought it was going to be a little bit of a light toward my favorite. Yeah. And there was some
- of that, but also some drama there. Nice. And I bring it up because in it, I guess Bobby Riggs was a
- big gambler. He had a gambling problem.
- So part of the reason he put this together was just to make like a gambling scenario. His whole thing
- was he was going to offer her a set amount of money and then like maybe it would be a thing where people
- could bet on it or something. At some point he bets on himself in the thing and he loses. Yes. But it
- was fun to see just all these bets and stuff pop up and even though he goes to
- betters anonymous meeting, really still just makes you want to bet. Put down fun little bets. Bet you
- a dollar, you can't get this crumpled up piece of paper in that trash can. That's what you just did
- with Lenin. That's what I just did with Lenin. Just trying to put some money on if there's going to
- be snow on Christmas Day. Yeah. So something you can do at home if you're watching now. You can put
- bets on things. That's great. I don't endorse it, but some of you can do it.
- on tennis games on there, where they put a bunch of obstacles between Bobby Riggs and the person he
- was playing, like some chairs. He also does a bunch of stunts, gearing up for the thing, so he's playing
- with a bunch of sheep on the court, and he's dressed up like Lil Bo Peep, plays with a big tennis racket,
- plays with a pan at some point.
- Yeah, I don't know if I remember many Christmas stories, though. Right. Yep, yep. You ever go fishing,
- Lenin? I used to way years ago, but I don't do that. You ever ice fished? No. Ice fishing, that seems
- like a good holiday. That seems like a fun time. You have some hot cocoa and a carafe? Hot fishing,
- ice fishing, that's not for me to do. How about hot fishing? You ever try hot fishing? No. Not really.
- But being in a hot climate, it's like you were in a Barbado tropical fishing. But when it's especially
- hot, not like in an off season. You're there and it's blazing hot and you're glad that you're knee deep
- in water because it's keeping you sort of cool. You're still dripping sweat, hot fishing. Fire fishing? No.
- Oh, um, by the way, um, um, I'm going to have a, uh, a great future, uh, 2019. However, um, well, I'm
- not only just doing a London Beatsley by himself, uh, cause, um, real album music album, but however,
- we're going to do a full album, a full album. We're talking about here. So.
- Or get coordinated with you with the Lennon Beasley music album, Lennon Beasley plus Bussman's Holiday.
- So. So a full album. Full album. But before I finish, I just want to say I know I'm going to record
- I know I'm going to record me and drums and of course, um, extra vocal again, so I can get rid of the
- clicking for sure. Cause I really don't like that clicking back background clicking at all. I mean,
- definitely on the fitness track, you never want to click track. Of course not. No bummer. However, yes,
- now I do know.
- That I do want to tell you that all you have to do is come and sing. That's all there is to it. So...
- A song that's all there is to it? Who wants to sing that song on your record? On my record. All you
- have to do is bring vocals. Come do vocals. And I'll have a couple friends gonna take care of the rest.
- When you say a couple friends, do you mean Kenny Arnoff and John Mellon? I don't think so. Tom Miller
- plays... Can't say it, I get you. Tom Miller, our new Cats production assistant, plays piano.
- So I might get together with him so he can play keys and I can play drums. So and lead vocals. I'm lead
- vocalist. However, I'm gonna start with an album with apparently it's gonna be
- you on The Busman's Holiday plus Lenny Beasley. Did you get a scoop from some entertainment magazine?
- No, I don't. Because that's what it sounds like. There's some big wigs talking about this one. Apparently,
- I'm going to write songs about Bloomington places.
- You want to write an album about Bloomington Places? I like that. Apparently so. It's interesting. However,
- we know we're going to invite you to do vocal recording with me. Of course, I'll be the director of
- the vocals. We know in vocal recording session with me how this works.
- Um, so we're going to listen to my five voice. Of course, I'll give you a demo to hear. And of course
- you come back and to do a vocal recording session. I will, I'll be doing a recording.
- I'll be, um, engineering. And then of course you're going to, we're going to do playbacks to at least
- two or three times.
- Let me finish. Well, and then we're going to do recording. Then we'll record after we play it at least
- two or three times. There's playback. And then the fourth playback will become recording. So I'll be
- directing and I'm going to help you all.
- But don't worry, it's all on me. So you're gonna be participating, both of you however, so in a full
- album, Lenin Beasley plus Bussman's Holiday. But the onus is off us. How many tracks do you usually
- got on a record?
- Um, at least, uh, if it's very short, that'd be 25. If it's at least five minutes, it'd be 16. It's
- going to be a CD. 25 tracks? If it's really short, then yes. Okay. So let's go ahead and go through
- just like the first five Bloomington places on this list of 25 that you would make songs about. What
- do you think you would write about?
- Apparently going to about reading at the library. The library is number one. Library or going to the
- busman's show. Oh wow, I like that one. Lennon BC's experience and I'll think of something so that's
- all I know for now but however. How about the food court at the mall?
- I think apparently we can, so. Okay, that's a pretty good topic. Yeah. So anyhow, I'll have some ideas
- once we get to the new year. Great. So I'm going to take, I'll be working a lot of hours at McDonald's.
- So, and yeah. What's your favorite part of the McDonald's that you work at? Dishwashing and of course
- lobby cleaning.
- And counter. Do you clean the counter or you talk to the customers? Customers. Customer service. Oh,
- is that good? Customer service. So if they're like, this burger's got too many pickles on it, you say,
- let's get some of those pickles off there. Yeah, I had to ask the growth people, so I'm going to make
- a new one. Nice, you're the in-between. What happens to all the burgers that you guys get to eat those?
- They have too many pickles or something, you get sent back.
- Same bag. We're gonna throw it away and have them make a new one. But I mean like if you guys wanted
- to I mean, you know, you know, yeah No No I would but So by the way Bad boy eating burgers out of trash
- cans. Yeah, that's not good. However I would like to be nice to have Amy Oh gonna be on my show
- So Amy Oh, I really love Amy. Oh, yeah. She's great. Wonderful. So it will love to invite her to be
- on my show. I agree. Great. So, um, also, uh, apparently, um, if we do get season six running, uh, we're
- going to do, um, I'll be start videotaping back of, uh,
- local bands like any local band. Cool. And a possibility to put it on the Lenny Beasley show. And if
- it is possible and if it works, if it works, then we're going to have a local band film. Cool.
- I like it. So and then and we're going to have
- We've got to put in a Lenny Beasley show as well. Great. That's a bandstand film. So that's
- a nice opportunity for local bands. So it's a good opportunity. You're going to find new opportunities.
- So however, 2018, 28 episodes recorded, including this one. So 28.
- 28 or, and last year we got 44, 44 and dropping down to 28. You know why we're dropping down quality?
- Uh, yeah, but, um, we lost eight people. We sure. I sure did. Lost eight people. We got two today. How
- about that? But you got two today, but, um, however, but, um, those eight people did.
- Delaying me four times one guest delayed four times Cancel four times and she's terminated. We have
- a note first announcer you put a hit on her Yeah, so first announcer got Yeah terminated I wouldn't
- say fired but it's similar to fire getting fired but Terminated blackless I've said it for years now
- Lenin Beasley ain't nothing to fuss with
- Yep. And I don't care. And if they want to watch the Lenin Beats and show after they get terminated,
- I don't want them to watch it. So. Oh, wow. All off. So all off. So, however, at this time, we would
- like to do some vocal taping session with me. So I'm going to you're going to hear me in my vocals.
- I'll do the vocals first and then I give you the stem of the songs. Hear it five times, at least five
- times here at your home. However, we're gonna do it at the library. And of course you're still gonna
- hear it three times, at least in the studio too. That's also good, however.
- Also good and then that way it'd be safe and that means should be good to go and then it'll be recording
- so Let and also at any time after the recording Take, uh, let me know. Uh if and then i'll play it back,
- uh again after the recording so So, um, it'd be um, all the songs is also written by lennon beasley
- all the songs will be written by lennon beasley
- Very good, all of original material. So all the songs written by Lenny Beasley, a full album would be
- Busman's Holiday. Lenny Beasley plus Busman's Holiday. It's been a great Christmas episode. It was a
