Yeah, I joke about 00:08:10.454 --> 00:08:16.958 - it. So I really giggle about it. So it was really great. Yeah. 00:08:18.338 --> 00:08:28.545 - Of course, Tom, I'm really excited. I'm so delighted to have you on the Lenny Beasley show here on the 00:08:28.545 --> 00:08:38.751 - Lenny Beasley show, uh, two year, um, and annual second annual of Christmas special. So, and, um, and, 00:08:38.751 --> 00:08:45.886 - uh, I know, um, you may not know this up. I may, I may told you or not. 00:08:46.402 --> 00:08:58.423 - Um, the London BC show status last year, videotaping session completed 44 episodes completed in recording 00:08:58.423 --> 00:09:09.876 - sessions. Wow. And this year of 2018 dropped down to 28. Oh, okay. I know it's not very good rating. 00:09:09.876 --> 00:09:14.526 - It's 28 more than I've made 28 episodes. 00:09:14.690 --> 00:09:28.216 - video taping recording sessions completed. So it is 28. This is the 28th recording session of the year. 00:09:28.216 --> 00:09:41.351 - So it's still a lot. However, it's not a great rating. So we already have 44 last year, comparing to 00:09:41.351 --> 00:09:42.782 - last year. 00:09:43.490 --> 00:09:53.865 - and then now dropping down to 28. So we should be doing better hopefully next year. I hope the Let It 00:09:53.865 --> 00:10:04.545 - Be Easy Show really trying to keep growing alive. Because apparently before we're going to the Christmas 00:10:04.545 --> 00:10:10.750 - special discussion continuing on, let me tell you, I really, 00:10:10.882 --> 00:10:21.819 - need your help spreading the word out to your friends too. Yeah, absolutely. Have them come to my show. 00:10:21.819 --> 00:10:32.756 - We do need female guests too. We're losing female guests. Huh. I sure do. Well, I mean, I'll let people 00:10:32.756 --> 00:10:39.486 - know. Yeah, we do. We sure do. So I hope we're going to get it. 00:10:40.418 --> 00:10:56.139 - We got whole lots of guys 80% of it 20% women get female guests So it's really not good rating either 00:10:56.139 --> 00:11:09.086 - So to my rating so it's not that great so 80% guys 20% girls so Yeah So it's really 00:11:09.378 --> 00:11:20.310 - Not that great. So I know how it is, but I do know we really need female guests on my show for sure. 00:11:20.310 --> 00:11:31.241 - We sure do. I sure do. But anyway, let's get back to the discussion with the Christmas special. So I 00:11:31.241 --> 00:11:37.086 - do want to tell you, Tom, I was absolutely wonderful. 00:11:37.314 --> 00:11:45.378 - And what do you like to spend Christmas? You used to help your parents with decorating Christmas tree. 00:11:45.378 --> 00:11:53.441 - Is that right? Oh, yeah. I mean, that was a big thing for me when I was a kid, especially with my mom, 00:11:53.441 --> 00:12:01.661 - you know, decorating the tree, putting up all the lights and everything. Yeah, I know. Yeah. I did that, 00:12:01.661 --> 00:12:06.750 - too. Yeah. I know I sure did. So. So, yep, indeed. So I already. 00:12:07.554 --> 00:12:19.586 - uh... doing it that's for sure however uh... absolutely uh... looking uh... was looking for of course 00:12:19.586 --> 00:12:31.972 - i think going to christmas uh... services in church so uh... of course uh... i did sleep in on christmas 00:12:31.972 --> 00:12:36.926 - day uh... few times yeah well i mean it's 00:12:37.154 --> 00:12:48.193 - It's a day where you can do that. I believe I could. Yeah. So this year I'm definitely going to be sleeping 00:12:48.193 --> 00:12:58.517 - in. So I probably will too. So, and I'm really, um, looking forward to this day. So, um, I am really 00:12:58.517 --> 00:13:04.446 - happy, uh, that we are really excited and super delighted 00:13:05.058 --> 00:13:16.495 - that we're having a great Christmas here so far. So I do know this Mr. Tom Miller. So I'm really like, 00:13:16.495 --> 00:13:27.600 - what is your Christmas dinner? My Christmas dinner, that's a very good question. I think we usually 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:33.374 - have a turkey, got some mashed potatoes, got like a 00:13:35.074 --> 00:13:46.195 - You know, some pie. It's usually a bunch of things. Right. Right. So that's, that's nice. Yeah. So, 00:13:46.195 --> 00:13:57.649 - um, it's gotta be really awesome, isn't it? I think it will. So I'm absolutely wonderful. So, so I are 00:13:57.649 --> 00:14:04.766 - this year, 2018, I've done some taping special locations that's 00:14:05.218 --> 00:14:16.640 - Um, phonocraft, um, manufacturing, um, it's on, on artists, art artisan, um, mini mall on second street. 00:14:16.640 --> 00:14:27.845 - Oh, all right.

So Jack Kilby used to be a new 00:14:27.845 --> 00:14:31.870 - guest on the show and then he's, um, 00:14:32.226 --> 00:14:43.404 - Ben don't know what's his problem is right now I know and then we had to let him go so because We this 00:14:43.404 --> 00:14:54.473 - is not a waiting time there's that show is not a waiting time So let's get it done So there's no need 00:14:54.473 --> 00:15:01.310 - to there's don't have time to wait. Yep. So there's no need to 00:15:01.474 --> 00:15:13.752 - have time to wait so I'll be proactive we gotta keep the show alive here so waiting is not appropriate 00:15:13.752 --> 00:15:26.031 - so and however at this time we already lost eight guests this year so yeah it's really bad so so eight 00:15:26.031 --> 00:15:29.726 - guests so we lost an announcer 00:15:30.786 --> 00:15:41.355 - And we have a guest gonna be coming, delayed my schedule three times, three months, every other three 00:15:41.355 --> 00:15:52.132 - months. So pushed me in a delay and got it in and then waiting another three months of a delay. So have 00:15:52.132 --> 00:16:00.318 - her back, probably usually meet two months, like at least every six weeks, so. 00:16:01.218 --> 00:16:10.338 - However, put me another three months away, and then wanna do, I have a guest named Kamala, wanna do 00:16:10.338 --> 00:16:19.732 - a show this summer in at least June, but put me an August 28th videotaping session.

Yes, that's right. Indeed. So I'm really excited about it. So I'm really excited about 00:22:39.394 --> 00:22:47.017 - The Lenin Beasley Show Christmas special here. What would you like to talk about? I would like to talk 00:22:47.017 --> 00:22:54.566 - to you about Christmas at your church every year. Okay. So tell us about Christmas special and church 00:22:54.566 --> 00:23:02.115 - services. Well, first of all, the season that leads up to Christmas is called Advent. And not just at 00:23:02.115 --> 00:23:08.702 - First Methodist, but a lot of churches celebrate that. And it's a season of preparation. 00:23:09.570 --> 00:23:16.796 - And we even asked our children in worship last week, how do you get ready for company? And so we talked 00:23:16.796 --> 00:23:23.952 - about all the things we do to get ready for company. And then we talked about how we get ready for God 00:23:23.952 --> 00:23:30.900 - to come. And so Advent, we get ready for Christmas. And then, so we are in the season of Advent and 00:23:30.900 --> 00:23:38.334 - then we'll come up and then on Christmas Eve, we will have a five o'clock service for family and children. 00:23:39.266 --> 00:23:47.177 - And at eight o'clock, we'll have a candlelight service that will include the singing of hymns and the 00:23:47.177 --> 00:23:55.010 - reading of the Christmas story. And the choir will sing and I will preach. And then at 10 o'clock on 00:23:55.010 --> 00:24:03.076 - Christmas Eve, we'll have the hymns, prayers, the reading of the Christmas story. I'll preach and we'll 00:24:03.076 --> 00:24:08.350 - have communion. And in our church, communion is open to all people. 00:24:08.738 --> 00:24:17.255 - Yes. So you don't have to be a church member and you don't have to be an adult to receive communion. 00:24:17.255 --> 00:24:25.771 - 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 00:24:25.771 --> 00:24:34.457 - 10 o'clock on Christmas Eve. Wow. That's wonderful. At least I'll be coming to the 10 o'clock service. 00:24:34.457 --> 00:24:35.806 - And on the 23rd 00:24:36.450 --> 00:24:46.109 - which is Sunday, we will have in our sanctuary a 10 o'clock service, and then we'll have the open door 00:24:46.109 --> 00:24:55.675 - at 1115 at the Busker Chumlin. Right. Yeah. I'll be, I know I'm in another church right now. However, 00:24:55.675 --> 00:25:05.053 - on a 10 o'clock service, you said on a Monday, on a Christmas Eve, with a communion in. Carol's, we 00:25:05.053 --> 00:25:06.366 - sing Carol's. 00:25:06.530 --> 00:25:14.880 - Read the story of Christmas. There'll be prayers and I'll preach. I'll have a message. Preach still. 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:23.396 - 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 00:25:23.396 --> 00:25:31.664 - evening. It's wonderful, I think, in those late services to walk out of church after the service is 00:25:31.664 --> 00:25:35.550 - done and you've sung Silent Night, Holy Night. 00:25:36.162 --> 00:25:44.652 - 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 00:25:44.652 --> 00:25:52.897 - is very quiet. It's really a special night. Yes. Yeah. Yes, indeed. That'd be great. We look forward 00:25:52.897 --> 00:26:01.060 - to come to the service there on that 10 o'clock in the evening. And I would invite, Lennon, I would 00:26:01.060 --> 00:26:02.366 - invite everyone 00:26:03.074 --> 00:26:10.301 - to not necessarily our church. If you're a Lutheran, go to a Lutheran church or Baptist or Catholic 00:26:10.301 --> 00:26:17.962 - or Apostolic. Or non-denominational. Non-denominational and get out and go. One of the things that people 00:26:17.962 --> 00:26:25.334 - are writing about more and more is how many people suffer from loneliness and they feel disconnected. 00:26:25.334 --> 00:26:31.550 - And I thought about that when the recent announcement about Barnes and Noble closing. 00:26:32.002 --> 00:26:40.643 - Really? And how easy it is to order things online and stay home. And it's easy to stay home and not 00:26:40.643 --> 00:26:49.716 - take a risk and go worship with a group of real live people. But I would encourage people this Christmas 00:26:49.716 --> 00:26:59.998 - Eve or this Christmas Sunday or every Sunday or Friday or Saturday, whatever day of the week, your community worships. 00:27:00.322 --> 00:27:08.621 - for people to go worship with other people, either to a synagogue or to a mosque or to a church, and 00:27:08.621 --> 00:27:17.003 - actually have interaction with other people and have an experience of community. Yes. So it's easy to 00:27:17.003 --> 00:27:25.303 - stay home. Right. But I'd say to people, go ahead and take a risk and come out. Yes. Yeah. So you're 00:27:25.303 --> 00:27:29.822 - doing, that'll be every year doing Christmas specials. 00:27:30.338 --> 00:27:37.712 - We know it's every year. Of course, 10 o'clock p.m. on every year. Every year, we tend to have three 00:27:37.712 --> 00:27:44.647 - services on Christmas Eve. Now, sometimes that may change. If we wait, what is it, nine years, 00:27:44.647 --> 00:27:52.021 - eight years, Christmas Eve will again be on a Sunday. So that schedule may change, but this year and 00:27:52.021 --> 00:27:59.614 - next year and the year after, probably we will have a five o'clock, an eight o'clock, and a 10 o'clock. 00:28:00.290 --> 00:28:09.395 - Wow, that's really nice, Mr. Mark Fenstermacher. So what are you like when you was a little kid or when 00:28:09.395 --> 00:28:18.150 - you're a teenager in your early 20s? Help out Christmas tree, you was a kid, right? I had different 00:28:18.150 --> 00:28:27.518 - traditions as a child. And so as a child, some of my best memories are of growing up in Brussels, Belgium. 00:28:28.002 --> 00:28:34.649 - We only lived there for a couple of years, but I can remember opening an advent calendar. And it didn't 00:28:34.649 --> 00:28:41.233 - have chocolate now. I've been told by the kids in our church, advent calendars have chocolate. Really? 00:28:41.233 --> 00:28:47.881 - Yeah. And so my wife actually bought me one of those. But I can remember as a child in Brussels singing 00:28:47.881 --> 00:28:54.528 - carols. I can remember opening every day the door of the advent calendar and then getting excited about 00:28:54.528 --> 00:28:56.126 - Christmas coming. Right. 00:28:56.386 --> 00:29:04.688 - I also remember as a child in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, coming downstairs and finding a railroad train 00:29:04.688 --> 00:29:12.748 - under the tree. Yes, absolutely. I see railroad trains on the Christmas tree. And so that was good. 00:29:12.748 --> 00:29:21.131 - And then as a boy growing up in Alaska, I can remember Christmas Eve services. I remember one Christmas 00:29:21.131 --> 00:29:23.710 - Eve, my infant brother was held 00:29:23.970 --> 00:29:31.111 - in the arms of a high school girl who played Mary, and who was baby Jesus. And then I can remember in 00:29:31.111 --> 00:29:38.252 - high school, going to my Methodist church on Christmas Eve, and then I would go to midnight mass with 00:29:38.252 --> 00:29:45.673 - a friend or two who played football with me, and they were good Catholics, and so I'd go to the Methodist 00:29:45.673 --> 00:29:52.254 - church at 10 or 11, and then at midnight, I'd go to midnight mass. So it was in the late 60s. 00:29:52.642 --> 00:30:00.845 - I, yes, I graduated from high school in 1969. 1969, wow. Yeah, it sounds like a thousand years ago. 00:30:00.845 --> 00:30:09.458 - I know, 1969 was a great year for you. It was a good year and it was an interesting year for our country 00:30:09.458 --> 00:30:17.989 - and people who have been around, were around then will remember it was a tumultuous time, it was a time 00:30:17.989 --> 00:30:20.286 - of change, civil rights and 00:30:20.642 --> 00:30:28.524 - So yeah, that was an interesting time in our lives. So I have a lot of good memories about Christmas. 00:30:28.524 --> 00:30:36.252 - Yes, and you was spending Christmas with your wife in the 70s. And we were married in 1972 straight 00:30:36.252 --> 00:30:43.980 - out of IU. And so we lived in Indiana for a while. And then we spent three years in North Carolina. 00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:47.998 - And in North Carolina, we lived out in the country. 00:30:48.642 --> 00:30:55.931 - between Burlington and Durham. And one of the things we'd do is go out in the woods and find garlands 00:30:55.931 --> 00:31:03.220 - of evergreen. And we would place that in the church and then in our home. And then as the family grew 00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:10.366 - up in Northern Indiana, when we came back from graduate school, we would go out and get a Christmas 00:31:10.366 --> 00:31:15.582 - tree. The whole family would go out and would pick out the perfect tree. 00:31:15.874 --> 00:31:25.083 - Right. And then we'd sing Christmas tree as we stood around it. And then we'd cut it down and take it 00:31:25.083 --> 00:31:34.112 - to the car. Right. Yeah. That's right. So absolutely. So I'm absolutely excited about that. And and 00:31:34.112 --> 00:31:42.238 - of course you got married at 72 and spending Christmas in 72 starting in 1972 at all. So. 00:31:42.882 --> 00:31:51.067 - So, and of course, having Christmas with your children, right? Let me tell you a story about that. Okay. 00:31:51.067 --> 00:31:59.019 - So one year when the boys, we lived in Mishawaka, Indiana, and my wife and I had a conversation about 00:31:59.019 --> 00:32:06.892 - BB guns. And I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Christmas Story. Yeah. Uh-huh. And so we had 00:32:06.892 --> 00:32:11.102 - this whole debate and I said, we'll get them goggles. 00:32:11.682 --> 00:32:19.638 - to protect their eyes and and we'll have a Targets made for them. It's going to be safe so on Christmas 00:32:19.638 --> 00:32:27.517 - morning when we lived on the edge of Mishawaka they got up and each one of our three boys got a BB gun 00:32:27.517 --> 00:32:35.472 - and They went out into the field behind our house to shoot them Our neighbor was a retired farmer named 00:32:35.472 --> 00:32:40.062 - Carlton. His wife's name was Mary Mary was doing dishes and 00:32:40.770 --> 00:32:49.226 - standing at her sink, looking out her kitchen window into the fields behind the house. Right. And as 00:32:49.226 --> 00:32:57.765 - she saw our boys take their BB guns out into the field, she said to her husband, Oh, no, Carlton, the 00:32:57.765 --> 00:33:06.974 - Finstermacher boys have gotten BB guns for Christmas. Really? Yeah. They like them. That's really. So anyway, 00:33:07.490 --> 00:33:18.210 - Mark Fenstermacher. So I'm really excited. I'm going to have you tell us more about it. So we're going 00:33:18.210 --> 00:33:29.139 - to pause the video, go to 15 minutes at a time on that machine there. So we're going to pause. I'm going 00:33:29.139 --> 00:33:33.406 - to have you stay right here in part two. 00:33:33.602 --> 00:33:44.640 - So we're going to have part two with Mark Finster-Marker. So stay with us and we'll be right back. Welcome 00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:55.266 - back with part two with Mark Finster-Marker on the Lennon Beasy Show, second annual Christmas special, 00:33:55.266 --> 00:34:01.662 - everybody. So here again, once again, is Mark Finster-Marker. 00:34:01.890 --> 00:34:11.152 - Len, good to see you. Good to see you. So, yes, so after, before the commercial break, we had, I had 00:34:11.152 --> 00:34:20.323 - to put a part one in because of the machine. We had machines. This machine video machine goes up to 00:34:20.323 --> 00:34:29.310 - 15 minutes at a time. So, however, now we're back in progress. So now we're back in part two. So, 00:34:29.538 --> 00:34:37.597 - Of course, there'd be conclusion, however. So, let's have you continue on where you left off, okay, 00:34:37.597 --> 00:34:46.302 - Mark? Well, we talked about BB guns and the boys getting those as a gift, but I have a lot of good memories 00:34:46.302 --> 00:34:54.442 - of Christmas, time with the family, and especially time at worship. And so, one of the stories, I've 00:34:54.442 --> 00:34:57.182 - got a lot of stories, Lenin. Yes. 00:34:57.378 --> 00:35:04.896 - very young and in North Carolina, our little three year old, two year old, I was serving communion in 00:35:04.896 --> 00:35:12.341 - a little country church. We had candles lit and people could come and receive communion and then go. 00:35:12.341 --> 00:35:20.154 - And our two year old, as I serve people and I started and I went down the row and when I went past Brian, 00:35:20.154 --> 00:35:27.230 - he said this, thank you daddy. And I kept going and I thought, well, you know, he'll get quiet. 00:35:27.554 --> 00:35:34.861 - Well, he repeated that. He got louder. Thank you, daddy. And I kept going to serve people. And finally, 00:35:34.861 --> 00:35:42.098 - a third time, he said, I said, thank you, daddy. And I said, yeah. And I stopped and I looked back and 00:35:42.098 --> 00:35:49.194 - I said, you're welcome, Brian. So I have memories of that. I have memories of a sanctuary in Elkhart 00:35:49.194 --> 00:35:55.518 - when I was very, very young. I had just gotten out of seminary. The sanctuary was packed. 00:35:55.874 --> 00:36:03.076 - Wow. It was so warm. We had to open the doors outside and it was in Elkhart, Indiana, in northern Indiana. 00:36:03.076 --> 00:36:10.143 - It was very cold. And the service went long and I stood up to preach. I was an associate pastor. I stood 00:36:10.143 --> 00:36:17.075 - up to preach and it was like five till 12 midnight. And not only was the sermon to take place but also 00:36:17.075 --> 00:36:24.075 - we were going to have communion and another special song by the choir and a closing hymn. And I thought 00:36:24.075 --> 00:36:25.758 - we're going to run over. 00:36:26.658 --> 00:36:36.049 - And so I stood up and I told people that, I asked people, I said, what do you call a cat that walks 00:36:36.049 --> 00:36:45.440 - across the desert? Sandy paws. And then I said to them, what does Santa Claus do in his garden? Ho, 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:55.582 - ho, ho. And then I said, after I told those two jokes, I said a little boy had written a note on a package. 00:36:55.810 --> 00:37:02.271 - And that was in the offering plate. And on the package, a little boy had written a note, happy birthday, 00:37:02.271 --> 00:37:08.608 - Jesus. Yes. And I said to people, I'm just going to tell you those two jokes and tell you tonight that 00:37:08.608 --> 00:37:15.007 - what we're here to do is to say happy birthday, Jesus. And I sat down. The whole sermon took about four 00:37:15.007 --> 00:37:21.283 - minutes. Wow. And people never forgot that sermon, but they would forget the 25 minute ones, but they 00:37:21.283 --> 00:37:24.606 - didn't forget the four minute one. Right. Absolutely. 00:37:24.834 --> 00:37:34.339 - So Mr. Mark Fensterbacher, so I'm glad you're doing great at First United Methodist Church and of course 00:37:34.339 --> 00:37:43.663 - your wife Sharon doing well. So is your wife retired already? She is a professional full-time grandma. 00:37:43.663 --> 00:37:53.982 - Wow. Yeah. And so she spends a lot of time in Columbus, Ohio with our granddaughters. We have two granddaughters. 00:37:54.370 --> 00:38:01.783 - And she spends some time in Lincoln Park in Chicago on the north side with two little grandsons. And 00:38:01.783 --> 00:38:09.416 - she spends a little time in Alexandria, Virginia with a beautiful little boy named Grant. So she spends 00:38:09.416 --> 00:38:16.976 - a lot of time kind of on the road helping out with the grandchildren. Yeah. Yes. So she's coming home. 00:38:16.976 --> 00:38:21.086 - She is home. And in fact, a little later, we'll plan on 00:38:21.410 --> 00:38:28.199 - heading off to Columbus, Ohio and seeing those two granddaughters for a while. Yes. And she lives in 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:34.921 - Bloomington. My wife lives in Bloomington. She's an IU graduate. And so we're both Hoosiers, as are 00:38:34.921 --> 00:38:42.046 - two of our sons are both IU graduates and my father's an IU graduate. So we're kind of an Indiana family. 00:38:42.690 --> 00:38:49.656 - Right. And your father all right passed away, right? No, my father is more my biological father died 00:38:49.656 --> 00:38:56.621 - when I was very young. He's actually buried in the Congo in a place called Wimblenyama. Yeah. But my 00:38:56.621 --> 00:39:03.587 - stepfather, Bob Finstermacher, who adopted me and my brother when we were very young, he is 91 years 00:39:03.587 --> 00:39:10.484 - old. He lives in South Bend by himself, lives in a condo. And on Thanksgiving, he hosted 25 members 00:39:10.484 --> 00:39:11.518 - of the family. 00:39:11.970 --> 00:39:20.417 - So 25 of us gathered at my dad's house for Thanksgiving. Yes, indeed. To 91. So born 1927. You're better 00:39:20.417 --> 00:39:28.864 - at that than I am. And sometimes, you know, he'll actually get in his car and he'll drive to Bloomington 00:39:28.864 --> 00:39:37.392 - to come down and hear me preach and spend the weekend. Right. And about once a month he drives to Chicago 00:39:37.392 --> 00:39:39.966 - to hear the symphony orchestra. 00:39:40.834 --> 00:39:48.777 - Right. And he's 91. 91. Wow. So he's still married, right? My mother is gone. My mother died of pancreatic 00:39:48.777 --> 00:39:56.201 - cancer back in 2000. So she's been gone for 18 years. Wow. Yeah. So he is not married no more. He's 00:39:56.201 --> 00:40:03.550 - not married. No. A widower. He's a widower and he's okay. He's pretty happy. Yeah. He's okay. Yup. 00:40:03.550 --> 00:40:07.262 - A widower. So and how many years he been married? 00:40:08.610 --> 00:40:17.372 - You know, I think they were married in 1956. 1956. Yeah, so what is that? 44. 44 years. 44 years in 00:40:17.372 --> 00:40:26.310 - 2000. Yeah, she was a great lady. She was a wonderful speaker and one of the best preachers I've ever 00:40:26.310 --> 00:40:35.160 - heard. And loved the church, loved Jesus, loved people. And how old she was? I think she was 73 when 00:40:35.160 --> 00:40:37.438 - she passed away. 73, wow. 00:40:37.730 --> 00:40:50.030 - 73, in 2000. We're in that 2000, and she was born in also 1927. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when she died? 00:40:50.030 --> 00:41:02.214 - You know, she died in May. In May, and when's her birthday? I'm not sure. I'm not sure, I've forgotten. 00:41:02.214 --> 00:41:07.134 - So, yeah. Right, probably if it's before, 00:41:07.426 --> 00:41:15.189 - when she died before she had her birthday, it'd be 1926. So it didn't take long, but she was a wonderful 00:41:15.189 --> 00:41:22.583 - person, a wonderful mom, and like I said, she was a great speaker and loved all kinds of people. So 00:41:22.583 --> 00:41:29.976 - we lived in Belgium, and we lived in Africa, and we lived in Alaska, and we lived in Indiana, lived 00:41:29.976 --> 00:41:36.926 - in Pennsylvania, but she had a way of reaching out and loving people in a really amazing way. 00:41:37.634 --> 00:41:47.345 - Yes, that's right. So now, Mark Fenstermacher, so anything else you want to talk about about this Christmas 00:41:47.345 --> 00:41:56.876 - special? Here's what I'd say, and I'm a Christian pastor, right? Yes. So here's what I'd say to everyone, 00:41:56.876 --> 00:42:05.598 - whether they go to church or not, whether they're a Buddhist, a Muslim, whatever, Hindu, Jewish, 00:42:06.498 --> 00:42:14.908 - is that God loves us. God loves all of us. God loves the world. God loves us when we get life right 00:42:14.908 --> 00:42:23.403 - and God loves us when we get life wrong. God loves us when we succeed and God loves us when we fail. 00:42:23.403 --> 00:42:31.981 - And so I want people to know that. I think that sometimes that's the most difficult lesson to believe 00:42:31.981 --> 00:42:35.934 - is that we're loved. And it's true. It's true. 00:42:36.482 --> 00:42:43.083 - So that's right. So you like Miracle on 34th Street. I think it's a great movie. And I like the old 00:42:43.083 --> 00:42:49.948 - one, the black and white one. Yes. Yeah. And I like Chris Kringle. Right. And I can't remember the name 00:42:49.948 --> 00:42:56.747 - of the man who played the lead, but Maureen O'Hara, I think, played the woman. Right. And it's a great 00:42:56.747 --> 00:43:03.414 - story. In fact, the first time I ever saw that was at a hospital Christmas party in Nome, Alaska. My 00:43:03.414 --> 00:43:05.790 - dad rented the movie and showed it. 00:43:06.242 --> 00:43:13.305 - That was a big deal, yeah. And Home Alone. Home Alone is a great movie, I think. And Elf. Elf is a great 00:43:13.305 --> 00:43:20.233 - movie. And Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a good movie. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, I like it when John 00:43:20.233 --> 00:43:27.295 - Candy's driving down the road in that convertible that's been on fire, you know. And Steve Martin. Yeah, 00:43:27.295 --> 00:43:32.542 - and the police officer comes up and says, do you think this is safe to drive? 00:43:33.218 --> 00:43:41.383 - So I like that movie and I like I like Christmas story. Right. You're you're you want a red writer BB 00:43:41.383 --> 00:43:49.709 - gun. You're going to shoot your eye out kid. I like that movie too. So I'm glad you're here.

That's great. 00:45:46.562 --> 00:45:54.145 - We're excited about Christmas. Are you excited? We already got a Christmas tree. We do. Yep. Yes. And 00:45:54.145 --> 00:46:01.877 - the last episode we had a birthday special, so. However, now we're in the Christmas special. Excellent. 00:46:01.877 --> 00:46:09.460 - It was really excellent, wasn't it? So. Eric was just telling you that we already got what? Christmas 00:46:09.460 --> 00:46:12.062 - tree. Do you get a Christmas tree? 00:46:12.386 --> 00:46:19.531 - Christmas tree. I used to do a Christmas tree when I was with my parents. However, now I don't. 00:46:19.531 --> 00:46:27.122 - It's fun. They sell little ones at Kroger. Oh yeah? So I don't do Christmas trees at my house at all. 00:46:27.122 --> 00:46:34.788 - However, I've been busy with my other jobs, especially working in McDonald's. Do you still work at the 00:46:34.788 --> 00:46:39.774 - one at the north side of town? No, I got transferred back to East. 00:46:40.162 --> 00:46:47.723 - I haven't seen you at the Northside one in a long time. No, I got transferred back to East. Do you work 00:46:47.723 --> 00:46:55.212 - at Bloomington Hardware still? I still do, yes. Anything else? Yes, but I'm a maintenance and janitor. 00:46:55.212 --> 00:47:02.191 - I don't answer questions about maintenance and janitor. Only the sales floor answers questions, 00:47:02.191 --> 00:47:09.534 - but not me. I'm not a sales floor. Sure. Sit down here. Stay in your seat, please. That's some tape. 00:47:10.210 --> 00:47:17.849 - really want to say. Now let's go ahead and start with Matt first. Matt first. Yes. What do you like 00:47:17.849 --> 00:47:25.487 - Christmas? Oh well we always get together with family and spend a lot of time with family so that's 00:47:25.487 --> 00:47:33.050 - nice. And then usually there's a lot of good food as well and I like to listen to Christmas songs. 00:47:33.050 --> 00:47:39.390 - So family, friends, just kind of celebrating it's a nice thing. All the lights and 00:47:40.482 --> 00:47:47.087 - Like we went to the canopy of lights last week, where they turned on the lights downtown, so that was 00:47:47.087 --> 00:47:53.563 - nice. Oh yeah, that's right. So, just lots to enjoy about Christmas. As a kid, my favorite part was 00:47:53.563 --> 00:48:00.104 - getting presents. And that's still nice, but it's probably not my favorite thing anymore. Right. How 00:48:00.104 --> 00:48:06.709 - about you? I used to do Christmas, go to church on search service, candlelight service. So I still do 00:48:06.709 --> 00:48:07.486 - every year. 00:48:09.858 --> 00:48:17.333 - So, yep, however, I do know that now let's go to Laura. So, what do you like on Christmas? Well, I like 00:48:17.333 --> 00:48:24.879 - all the things, Matt, then. I like getting all of the family together, especially now that we have kids. 00:48:24.879 --> 00:48:32.354 - It's fun to watch my nieces and nephews play with my kids and watch them. Them opening presents is very 00:48:32.354 --> 00:48:39.326 - fun. Eric knows that he's getting a fish this year, and he's very excited to have his first pet. 00:48:39.426 --> 00:48:46.938 - I can't wait for that. And I want that silver fish. The silver fish? Yeah, the silver fish. We're excited 00:48:46.938 --> 00:48:54.166 - to have our first pet this year at Christmas. Yes. Oh, you just had a big birthday, right? It's true. 00:48:54.166 --> 00:49:01.961 - I turned 30. I have lots of pets. 30, wow. Yes, that was a big birthday. We went to French Lick to celebrate. 00:49:01.961 --> 00:49:08.126 - Your 30th birthday. Yep, yep. Went to the big West Bay Dome. Have you ever been there? 00:49:08.226 --> 00:49:17.073 - no it's fun you should go it's not that far away it's really pretty right and matt you did celebrate 00:49:17.073 --> 00:49:26.270 - your big birthday as well it's true i turned 40 40 40 and are you like 36 yeah i'm 37 now about to be 38 00:49:26.498 --> 00:49:35.058 - Next December, I'll be 38. Okay, so you're about to be 37. I'm already 37 in the show. I'm already 37. 00:49:35.058 --> 00:49:43.785 - So by the time this airs, you're 37. I don't know when it airs, but I have a lot going on at work, short 00:49:43.785 --> 00:49:52.262 - staff, my job. But your birthday is when? December 18th? December 18th. My younger brother's birthday 00:49:52.262 --> 00:49:53.758 - is December 16th. 00:49:54.146 --> 00:50:03.697 - December 16th, and now it is... He will be turning 33. He's seven years younger than me. 33. So... No, 00:50:03.697 --> 00:50:13.247 - seven years younger than you. But yeah, we did not do anything as big of a celebration for my birthday 00:50:13.247 --> 00:50:18.718 - as we did for Laura's. But it's still fun and nice. Right. 00:50:18.946 --> 00:50:25.900 - Do you like the snow, Lennon? Um, no. I don't either. No, I don't. I like it. Me too. The kids like 00:50:25.900 --> 00:50:32.507 - it. Actually, Michael, do you like the snow? No. Yeah, I didn't think you did either. Michael, 00:50:32.507 --> 00:50:39.461 - me and Lennon, we don't like the snow. Eric and I like it. Eric and Daddy like it. Yep. We like the 00:50:39.461 --> 00:50:46.902 - snow. So you just had a baby. It's with you right now. That's true. She's six months old. Yep. Six months. 00:50:46.902 --> 00:50:47.806 - Wow. Elaine. 00:50:47.938 --> 00:50:55.834 - Elaine, my name is Lennon. Yeah, you're going to see a lot of Lennon. Say hi. We like to come to the 00:50:55.834 --> 00:51:03.887 - library and we like to say hi to our friend Lennon. Eric is four and a half. Michael's two and a half. 00:51:03.887 --> 00:51:12.018 - Two and a half. And she is just half. A half. For 2018. This year, 2018. And he is 2016. And 2014. Yep. 00:51:12.018 --> 00:51:15.614 - On even years, we got those kids. Even years. 00:51:15.842 --> 00:51:25.264 - Evie, do you like snow? Yeah. I don't think she's too familiar with it. However, at this time, guys, 00:51:25.264 --> 00:51:35.058 - however at this time, I just want to tell you that it's so pleased to have you on my show, on the family 00:51:35.058 --> 00:51:43.454 - guests, on the show, on the Christmas special. Well, thank you for having us. By the way, 00:51:43.874 --> 00:51:52.728 - I just want to let you know, too, that I'm really excited about, oh, you was on the Mike Adams show 00:51:52.728 --> 00:52:02.024 - last year. I was, yeah. Are you going to be on again this year? I don't know. You were sort of in prompt 00:52:02.024 --> 00:52:11.232 - to appearance. Prompt to. I was prompt to, so because I was unexpectedly. So I've been a special guest. 00:52:11.232 --> 00:52:13.534 - It's unexpectedly. I was. 00:52:13.794 --> 00:52:20.864 - I was a very special guest on The Mike Adams Show. A special guest. That was very cool. Surprise guest. 00:52:20.864 --> 00:52:27.730 - A surprise guest, as a matter of fact. Yes, that's right, Matt. So yes, it was a surprise guest.

You have to try and get someone to watch these kids. Yes, I know it's hard. Babysitters 00:52:40.918 --> 00:52:42.142 - are hard, really. 00:52:42.466 --> 00:52:52.195 - We're lucky because my mom and Matt's mom help us a lot. Yes. However, at this time. So I do know that 00:52:52.195 --> 00:53:01.640 - I'm so excited about this day of Christmas. So apparently it's going to be a wonderful time. So I'm 00:53:01.640 --> 00:53:10.046 - going to load it back on YouTube because I haven't had a chance because I've been really 00:53:10.466 --> 00:53:19.163 - I'm busy with my job. I have a short staff. Do you have the two jobs? That's more than most people. 00:53:19.163 --> 00:53:28.121 - 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 00:53:28.121 --> 00:53:36.993 - like one more than the other? Actually, both the same. So, yep, indeed. So, I really want to tell you 00:53:36.993 --> 00:53:38.558 - it's a great time 00:53:39.010 --> 00:53:47.760 - of having fellowship with you guys on the Lenin B.C. Show on this television set.

The Stottwell family, 00:54:12.722 --> 00:54:19.618 - ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back for more Christmas special. Let it be the show. Stay with 00:54:19.618 --> 00:54:21.342 - us. We'll be right back. 00:54:32.130 --> 00:54:40.781 - Okay, welcome back to the Let It Be Easy Show second annual Christmas special right now at this time. 00:54:40.781 --> 00:54:49.263 - So I really appreciate all of you viewers at home watching this Christmas special on Let It Be Easy 00:54:49.263 --> 00:54:57.745 - Show second anniversary special, second annual special. However, at this time, let me introduce was 00:54:57.745 --> 00:55:00.798 - a musical guest for a while and now 00:55:01.058 --> 00:55:09.291 - Back to a regular guest this time. So, and however, he is one of the in my announcers on my show. 00:55:09.291 --> 00:55:17.692 - Of course, from Kid Kazooie and Teen Stratages from the library. However, this time I would like to 00:55:17.692 --> 00:55:26.093 - introduce Kevin McDowell, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, Lenin. Yes, hello, Kevin. How are you, sir? I'm 00:55:26.093 --> 00:55:30.462 - doing real good. It's nice to be on the show again. 00:55:30.818 --> 00:55:38.848 - And I like that I get to do so many different things on the Lenin Beasley Show. Sometimes I'm playing 00:55:38.848 --> 00:55:47.115 - a guitar. Sometimes I'm playing a bass. Sometimes I'm playing keyboards. Sometimes I'm doing announcing. 00:55:47.115 --> 00:55:54.988 - Sometimes I'm doing library staff casting director. And sometimes, like today, I'm just sitting and 00:55:54.988 --> 00:55:57.822 - talking. Indeed. Yes, sir. I really 00:55:58.274 --> 00:56:07.011 - Appreciate that. So, yeah, what do you think about this Christmas special right now at this time? I 00:56:07.011 --> 00:56:15.747 - think it's great that the Lennon Beasley Show is taking time out to recognize one of the many great 00:56:15.747 --> 00:56:24.309 - holidays during the winter season. And by winter season, I'm speaking, of course, of the Northern 00:56:24.309 --> 00:56:27.454 - Hemisphere's indigatory preferences 00:56:27.682 --> 00:56:38.045 - for December holidays, because of course, they even celebrate holidays during the month of December 00:56:38.045 --> 00:56:48.718 - in the southern hemisphere, but then to them, it's summer, right? Yes. So it's not something you think 00:56:48.718 --> 00:56:55.454 - about a lot, but people in South America or Africa or Australia, 00:56:55.554 --> 00:57:04.486 - People who live in the southern hemisphere of the planet Earth, they celebrate, say, Christmas in December 00:57:04.486 --> 00:57:13.085 - during the summer. Yeah. So Christmas does happen in the summer. Really? Yeah. Depending on which part 00:57:13.085 --> 00:57:21.599 - of the planet you live on. Because it's not winter in December everywhere on Earth. No. Only north of 00:57:21.599 --> 00:57:25.022 - the equator. You know what I mean? Yeah. 00:57:25.474 --> 00:57:33.656 - But then the other thing is there's so many different holidays besides Christmas, right? Yes. What other 00:57:33.656 --> 00:57:42.149 - holidays happen in December, do you know? I know New Year's Day, New Year's Eve. Right, right. And Hanukkah. 00:57:42.149 --> 00:57:50.019 - Hanukkah, right. Boxing day. Yeah. However, a day after Christmas. Kwanzaa, how about Kwanzaa? I did 00:57:50.019 --> 00:57:55.006 - not know about Kwanzaa. Oh yeah, Kwanzaa is an African American 00:57:55.234 --> 00:58:03.791 - holiday that also celebrates the African culture of African Americans. And I might even be getting some 00:58:03.791 --> 00:58:12.100 - of that wrong because it's not part of my direct culture. But just like I don't know that much about 00:58:12.100 --> 00:58:20.904 - Ramadan, but I know that Ramadan is another religious holiday that is celebrated in the month of December. 00:58:20.904 --> 00:58:24.030 - And I do believe that that is part of 00:58:24.162 --> 00:58:34.521 - The Indian culture, I believe, or maybe Arabic culture. I'm most familiar with Christmas, though. Because 00:58:34.521 --> 00:58:44.293 - that's part of my cultural perspective is Christmas. Yes. Yep. So I really like the holidays. And I 00:58:44.293 --> 00:58:52.990 - think it's fun when people remind us of what's important about holidays. Let me ask you. 00:58:53.666 --> 00:59:03.172 - Why is the Lenin Beasley show celebrating Christmas with this special episode? Well, I decided to do 00:59:03.172 --> 00:59:12.773 - it in the studio for the first time ever. So in the studio last year we didn't. I had it with Ken and 00:59:12.773 --> 00:59:22.750 - 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 00:59:23.298 --> 00:59:35.270 - What do you like about Christmas? However, I like to sleep in. You like to sleep in on Christmas? Yes. 00:59:35.270 --> 00:59:46.894 - That's wonderful. I like to sleep in on every day I possibly can. Right. I don't get to sleep in on 00:59:46.894 --> 00:59:53.054 - Christmas, though. No, you don't. No. So, you don't. 00:59:53.474 --> 01:00:02.770 - Do you want to ask me why not? Yes. Why? We usually go out of town on Christmas morning so that we can 01:00:02.770 --> 01:00:12.065 - get to my mom and my mom's house with all of my family and they live out of town and they live several 01:00:12.065 --> 01:00:21.090 - hours away. And so we have to get up early on Christmas morning so that we can drive over the river 01:00:21.090 --> 01:00:23.166 - and through the woods. 01:00:23.330 --> 01:00:32.861 - Yes. So we have to wake up early. Right. Yeah. We celebrate our Bloomington Christmas with our Bloomington 01:00:32.861 --> 01:00:41.769 - family on Christmas Eve. Right. Yeah. Who will you get to celebrate Christmas with this year? Um, I 01:00:41.769 --> 01:00:50.142 - don't know at all. So probably not going anywhere. Probably going to sleep in however. Right. 01:00:51.170 --> 01:00:59.165 - Will you go to church on Christmas Eve? Is that something you do? I do know I'll go to church on Christmas 01:00:59.165 --> 01:01:06.935 - Eve, however. Yeah. And you go to a couple different churches, right? Right. Have you ever gone to more 01:01:06.935 --> 01:01:14.407 - than one church on Christmas Eve? I know I must have, yes. Yeah. That's good. And do you ever go to 01:01:14.407 --> 01:01:17.022 - a church service on Christmas Eve? 01:01:17.122 --> 01:01:25.639 - where they light a candle, and then everyone lights the candle next to this. I love doing that. And 01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:34.412 - they bring the lights down low, and then the church sanctuary is lit just with all of the candles held 01:01:34.412 --> 01:01:43.184 - by the people in the congregation. Right. Yeah, and sometimes that's a good time to sing Silent Night. 01:01:43.184 --> 01:01:47.102 - Yes. Do you like that song? Oh yeah, oh yeah. 01:01:47.810 --> 01:01:57.784 - So, indeed, I sure do. Do you like other Christmas songs? I believe I do love Christmas songs. Jingle 01:01:57.784 --> 01:02:07.953 - Bell Rock have a holly jolly Christmas, however. Here comes Santa Claus. Here comes Santa Claus sleigh. 01:02:07.953 --> 01:02:17.438 - Yeah. Do you like to go Christmas, Carolyn? I used to do that when I was a kid, but I don't now. 01:02:18.274 --> 01:02:28.585 - Do you sing Christmas songs at the churches that you go to? Yes, I do. Like, We Three Kings of Orient 01:02:28.585 --> 01:02:39.098 - are? Apparently. Joy to the World? Yes, we know they're singing Joy to the World, I know that. I really 01:02:39.098 --> 01:02:46.174 - like Angels We Have Heard on High. Oh yeah. That's the one that goes, 01:02:50.978 --> 01:02:59.351 - You know that one? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's the most syllables to say one word that I've ever heard. 01:02:59.351 --> 01:03:07.890 - Right. Let's count those syllables. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, 01:03:07.890 --> 01:03:16.263 - twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen. Nineteen syllables just 01:03:16.263 --> 01:03:20.574 - to sing the word glory. Yes. That's awesome. Right. 01:03:21.954 --> 01:03:29.997 - So, that's right. So... Have you ever recorded any Christmas songs? I know you record a lot of music. 01:03:29.997 --> 01:03:38.118 - No Christmas songs at all. Zero. Maybe one of these days, the Lennon Beasley will have a new recording 01:03:38.118 --> 01:03:46.161 - of Christmas songs. And maybe some of them you'll write and some of them can be traditional Christmas 01:03:46.161 --> 01:03:51.838 - songs. Or maybe you'll write all of them. Maybe. So, we'll have to see. 01:03:53.826 --> 01:04:02.880 - So I have to see Mr. Kevin. Sometimes though, Christmas also sometimes makes people sad, right? Yes. 01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:12.114 - I know that your mama has passed away. Yes. And it must be very sad when Christmas comes and you don't 01:04:12.114 --> 01:04:21.168 - get to spend Christmas with her. Yes. And I know that there are other people out there too that find 01:04:21.168 --> 01:04:22.782 - Christmas to be a 01:04:22.914 --> 01:04:37.402 - very sad time. Right. So, um, Kevin, apparently I just want to tell you that, um, I really want to tell 01:04:37.402 --> 01:04:52.030 - you, um, I'm absolutely having a great Christmas, um, uh, taping sessions, um, in second annual. So, um, 01:04:52.578 --> 01:05:01.790 - And of course, I hope we're going to make it to the fourth annual anniversary special of The Lenin Beasley 01:05:01.790 --> 01:05:10.571 - Show in late March. OK. So hopefully, we're going to have it happen. That's right. And this is a good 01:05:10.571 --> 01:05:19.783 - opportunity to remind all of you listeners out there, if you want to help make sure that The Lenin Beasley 01:05:19.783 --> 01:05:22.366 - Show stays strong and with it 01:05:23.074 --> 01:05:31.445 - We encourage you to get a hold of Lenin Beasley and you can even be a guest on his show, right? Yes. 01:05:31.445 --> 01:05:39.899 - What kinds of things do guests on your show do? Well, all kinds, however. I would say all kinds. It's 01:05:39.899 --> 01:05:49.182 - 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. 01:05:49.378 --> 01:06:01.853 - All kinds very good. So if you're out there and you enjoy the show And you would like to be on TV yourself 01:06:01.853 --> 01:06:13.746 - Just get a hold of Lenin and you sit in this chair and have a conversation with Lenin Yes Oh Yeah, by 01:06:13.746 --> 01:06:18.526 - the way Kevin I Before we go any further 01:06:19.074 --> 01:06:31.592 - I just wanna let you know, Kevin, that we really need guests on my show. And this year, 2018 is really 01:06:31.592 --> 01:06:44.231 - rough. It's really rough. I already lost eight people on the show, including announcer, first announcer 01:06:44.231 --> 01:06:47.998 - to ever get on a black list on 01:06:48.450 --> 01:06:57.852 - The Lenin Beats The Show for the first time, and we're made a blacklist for the first time. So, first 01:06:57.852 --> 01:07:07.438 - announcer. So sometimes there are great challenges and adversities to overcome in life. Yeah. Yep, it's 01:07:07.438 --> 01:07:16.840 - not always easy. Absolutely not. In fact, sometimes we experience failures in our life. It's happened 01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:17.854 - to me too. 01:07:18.178 --> 01:07:26.116 - There are times where I tried to make something happen and I couldn't get it off the ground and I had 01:07:26.116 --> 01:07:34.054 - to turn away from it and start fresh with something new. And I know that you're even wondering if you 01:07:34.054 --> 01:07:41.914 - might have to do that with the Lenin Beasley show. And that would be really a hard and sad choice to 01:07:41.914 --> 01:07:48.062 - have to make. I hope you don't have to make it and I hope that we can get some 01:07:48.354 --> 01:08:00.502 - some of your fans out here to the Monroe County Public Library. Get on this here show. So we've been 01:08:00.502 --> 01:08:12.531 - having unanswered messages to share. So unanswered messages to share. So I can't afford waiting too 01:08:12.531 --> 01:08:17.342 - long with the yellow list way too long. 01:08:17.538 --> 01:08:26.272 - cause us to break down the Lenin Visa show and crashing at a little at a time into pieces. Yep. Yep. 01:08:26.272 --> 01:08:35.005 - I know what you mean. And yet sometimes maybe, you know, there's a saying, you know, I used to go to 01:08:35.005 --> 01:08:43.566 - church also. I used to work at a church. Did you know that? Oh yeah. Yeah. I was a youth minister. 01:08:43.566 --> 01:08:47.198 - Oh yeah. That's right. Yep. And, um, the, 01:08:48.386 --> 01:08:57.821 - the head pastor of the church that I worked at used to tell me, sometimes when God closes a door, she 01:08:57.821 --> 01:09:07.442 - opens a window. Which means, I think, sometimes when it looks like something isn't going to happen over 01:09:07.442 --> 01:09:15.582 - here, you have to look somewhere else to see what are the other opportunities. Meaning, 01:09:18.114 --> 01:09:30.674 - Can you think of any TV shows that are successful that don't have special guests all the time? I don't. 01:09:30.674 --> 01:09:42.872 - Oh, I know of some. I know of some. Because all that to say, sometimes you can just make up your own 01:09:42.872 --> 01:09:47.582 - episodes. The Lenin Beasley Show could 01:09:47.938 --> 01:09:56.926 - continue going if you decided that having interviews like this one wasn't the most important thing. 01:09:56.926 --> 01:10:06.094 - For instance, you always put stuff on your show that involves just you, like when you play the guitar 01:10:06.094 --> 01:10:15.081 - or sing a song, right? Yep. The Lenin B's show really involve interviews and all that. Well, and if 01:10:15.081 --> 01:10:17.598 - you're unwilling to change, 01:10:17.730 --> 01:10:27.750 - I am unwilling to change. Then part of that choice is your own choice, right? You are saying that. So 01:10:27.750 --> 01:10:36.690 - it won't necessarily be other people's fault if the show stops. You'll have to own some of 01:10:36.690 --> 01:10:44.254 - that responsibility because of your unwillingness to change too, right? Yes. 01:10:44.482 --> 01:10:53.216 - I never had a pastor at a church I worked at said this, but I know I've heard this saying before, you 01:10:53.216 --> 01:11:01.950 - make your bed, you sleep in it. Meaning, if you make a choice, whatever consequences come from making 01:11:01.950 --> 01:11:10.598 - that choice, you have to accept responsibility for those. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, apparently, Kevin, I do 01:11:10.598 --> 01:11:14.366 - want to tell you on this Christmas special, 01:11:14.754 --> 01:11:28.713 - Last year, we've already done 44 tapings last year, 2017. Video taping recording sessions completed, 01:11:28.713 --> 01:11:42.671 - 44 episodes recorded. Sure is a lot. However, 2018, we've already done only 28. Only 28. 16 episodes 01:11:42.671 --> 01:11:44.606 - dropped down. 01:11:44.738 --> 01:11:54.118 - Yeah, see now if it if it were me And or my wife who always gives me good advice I would just think 01:11:54.118 --> 01:12:03.498 - well what would maybe maybe I could keep the show going if I just made it shorter or didn't produce 01:12:03.498 --> 01:12:13.534 - as many per year and Concentrate less on the quantity and more on the quality but I don't know if you'd be 01:12:14.658 --> 01:12:26.577 - You might be resistant to thinking that way. I have to reject that. Yep. So I'm going to reject it. 01:12:26.577 --> 01:12:39.211 - My wife sometimes says about me, does it always have to be all or nothing with you? Of course it doesn't, 01:12:39.211 --> 01:12:44.574 - especially when she tells me that. Oh, yeah. 01:12:46.274 --> 01:12:58.355 - But sometimes I think it's common for humans to get an idea and get hooked on an idea and think that 01:12:58.355 --> 01:13:10.557 - that way of doing things is the only way. And I don't want anything on either side of it. I only want 01:13:10.557 --> 01:13:15.102 - straight down the middle as to what I 01:13:15.202 --> 01:13:25.469 - 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 01:13:25.469 --> 01:13:34.975 - because I'm not opening myself up to all the world of possibilities all around me. And so I kind of 01:13:34.975 --> 01:13:44.766 - don't mind it when my wife says that to me because that's a reminder that I'm thinking about a certain 01:13:45.410 --> 01:13:53.787 - situation or problem with blinders on where I'm not seeing a really wonderful possibility over here 01:13:53.787 --> 01:14:02.332 - or over here because I'm kind of being stubborn and only thinking of one thing. And so I like it when 01:14:02.332 --> 01:14:10.793 - she says that to me because it reminds me to stop, slow down, and ask myself, might there be another 01:14:10.793 --> 01:14:14.814 - way to solve this problem that I'm considering? 01:14:16.450 --> 01:14:25.043 - And I really like doing that in my life. I really like putting myself in check and saying, now, Kevin, 01:14:25.043 --> 01:14:33.635 - you don't have to be so stubborn, do you? Why don't you consider some other possibilities? Because I'm 01:14:33.635 --> 01:14:41.978 - only one person, and my brain, even though it works pretty good, is not the one singular brain that 01:14:41.978 --> 01:14:45.982 - can think of every possibility in the universe. 01:14:46.338 --> 01:14:56.344 - I need to listen to other people's advice and get other ideas and consider a vast, what's the word I'm 01:14:56.344 --> 01:15:06.351 - looking for? A vast plethora of cornucopia of possibilities. Because then I might be able to come upon 01:15:06.351 --> 01:15:15.774 - a solution. But I'll tell you what, even then when I do that, there's times where I just have to 01:15:18.530 --> 01:15:28.245 - Walk away. I mostly did that so I could get my drink. Yep. Yeah, so... Let me ask you, what else is 01:15:28.245 --> 01:15:38.057 - gonna be on this special Christmas episode? Well, I think I already had a new... I already had a new 01:15:38.057 --> 01:15:47.966 - guest on our show last time. It was Jennifer Moore. Oh yeah? Did you have a good interview? It was... 01:15:48.226 --> 01:15:55.560 - Good interview, yes. What do I have to look forward to in watching that? Give me just a little sneak 01:15:55.560 --> 01:16:02.603 - preview of what that conversation was about. Sneak preview? I don't do sneak previews. Oh, okay. 01:16:02.603 --> 01:16:09.356 - No spoilers, right? Right. I'll just have to tune in and watch it. Yes, you have to tune in. 01:16:09.356 --> 01:16:16.617 - But it went well? But it went well, I know. Everything went well, however. Is there going to be any 01:16:16.617 --> 01:16:18.142 - special music on the 01:16:18.274 --> 01:16:27.220 - Christmas episode? Um, we'll find out. So yeah, cause you're not going to give away any secrets, right? 01:16:27.220 --> 01:16:35.821 - Right. So we'll find out cause, um, I wanted to, uh, tell you, um, so in Christmas special here, so 01:16:35.821 --> 01:16:42.014 - I'm glad we'll have you on the guest on my show on a Christmas special. 01:16:42.530 --> 01:16:53.038 - So it doesn't matter how many episodes I produce of the Linen Bees show itself. So it doesn't matter 01:16:53.038 --> 01:17:03.442 - what the number is high or low. Give me five. Give me five. However, I'd rather bring guests on the 01:17:03.442 --> 01:17:12.286 - show. Sure. Even though it's 12 or 13. So we're going to involve guests on the show. 01:17:12.514 --> 01:17:20.260 - Three years ago, almost four years, when I first started the Let it Be Show, I was in by myself. And 01:17:20.260 --> 01:17:27.392 - I used to be that, but I don't feel comfortable by myself the whole episode, period. I don't 01:17:27.392 --> 01:17:35.214 - feel comfortable. However, that's why we're having guests. God, that makes sense. So that's why we're 01:17:35.214 --> 01:17:42.270 - bringing guests on the show. It always comes guests. So others first. Yep. So others first. 01:17:42.466 --> 01:17:52.235 - and before me, so. That's not. Because I'd rather do others first, rather not, I'd rather have guests 01:17:52.235 --> 01:18:01.909 - on the show first. Yeah, okay. So that's why. That makes, that's very thoughtful. Others first. Yes. 01:18:01.909 --> 01:18:11.774 - That's not only, that not only helps me understand more where you're coming from, but it also shows me 01:18:12.290 --> 01:18:20.100 - more of that big Lennon Beasley heart, which that is our heart on, that big heart where you care more 01:18:20.100 --> 01:18:28.141 - about others than yourself, right? Yes. All right, that's wonderful. Have you ever had, you work outside 01:18:28.141 --> 01:18:36.028 - of the show here at the library, you work, am I allowed to say it? Hardware at McDonald's. Bloomington 01:18:36.028 --> 01:18:41.694 - Hardware and McDonald's on East Third, right? Yeah. Do you ever have the, 01:18:42.178 --> 01:18:51.258 - privilege and the honor of hosting guests on the show from Bloomington that you work with at Bloomington. 01:18:51.258 --> 01:18:59.995 - I already brought Vicky on the show this season ago. That's wonderful. So do you ever ask any of your 01:18:59.995 --> 01:19:06.334 - other fellow employees? No. How come? I wonder. They don't have the time. 01:19:07.106 --> 01:19:14.151 - Well, how do you know that if you haven't asked them? I already asked them. Oh, when I asked you if 01:19:14.151 --> 01:19:21.197 - you had asked them, I thought you said... I already asked them. And some people don't like to be on 01:19:21.197 --> 01:19:28.876 - TV either. That's true. I'm surprised by that. I love being on TV. Yep. So, before we're taking a commercial 01:19:28.876 --> 01:19:35.358 - break, let me tell you, we dropped 16 episodes down to 28 episodes for the year 2018 alone. 01:19:35.618 --> 01:19:46.005 - Which is, that's still a lot, right? I think so. It is. However, we, but still, even though it's a lot, 01:19:46.005 --> 01:19:56.293 - 28 episodes is still good amount of programs of the year. So at least we need at least 25 episodes per 01:19:56.293 --> 01:20:05.182 - year. So on a Lenny Beasley show, but we made three episodes over the minimum range. So, 01:20:05.378 --> 01:20:15.766 - which is 28 highest is 44 from last year of 2017. However, in 2018, we got 28 programs, which is that's 01:20:15.766 --> 01:20:25.954 - still good. However, we still need to still really need work on that some more. So for 2019, however, 01:20:25.954 --> 01:20:33.246 - I just want to let you know, we hope we're going to enter in season six. 01:20:34.626 --> 01:20:44.187 - We're a little bit easy show. We're getting really close to five, uh, season five finale, really close, 01:20:44.187 --> 01:20:53.747 - like two episodes away, which means we're going to carry on in 2019. So 2019. That sure would be great. 01:20:53.747 --> 01:21:00.734 - So, yep. However, at this time, I'm absolutely want to say, uh, I'm really, 01:21:01.314 --> 01:21:11.625 - encourage you to go book online for the Lenin Beastly Show, beastlylenin.wixsite.com. Forward slash 01:21:11.625 --> 01:21:22.039 - Lenin Beastly Show. Indeed. So we need to work before we close. We need to work on some more getting 01:21:22.039 --> 01:21:30.494 - guests on my show, Library Staff for 2019. As the Library Staff Casting Director, 01:21:30.882 --> 01:21:41.403 - 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 01:21:41.403 --> 01:21:51.718 - all going to do our part, too. That's right. So and to try to get guests on my show to keep the Let 01:21:51.718 --> 01:21:59.454 - It Be Easy show alive here. So. Yeah. And it's been a rough 2018, have we? 01:22:00.418 --> 01:22:11.190 - I guess in some ways it is it is and it has but I already lost eight people and Angelina don't want 01:22:11.190 --> 01:22:22.394 - to be on the show Delayed four times Canceled on me four times and she's terminated Jack Told me I have 01:22:22.394 --> 01:22:23.902 - another guess 01:22:24.514 --> 01:22:33.339 - told me, don't call me, don't call me, he has other stuff, family issues. I decided to put him on a 01:22:33.339 --> 01:22:42.251 - blacklist. So, which means I did, so. So. I don't know what to say, buddy. I don't know what to say, 01:22:42.251 --> 01:22:51.870 - and of course, we're also losing a lot, a lot, there's a number, and especially we lost our first announcer. 01:22:52.194 --> 01:22:59.789 - for 2018, which was Jane. Jane Cronkite used to be my announcer for the Lena Beasley show. Look what 01:22:59.789 --> 01:23:07.458 - happened. No call, no show. Let me know for the last minute. And that's a double whammy. And then she 01:23:07.458 --> 01:23:15.128 - did it again. That's now quadruple whammy. And then she is definitely out. Well, she's also trying to 01:23:15.128 --> 01:23:20.542 - run a library. I know. That's right. She's trying to make sure that the 01:23:20.642 --> 01:23:28.026 - Digital Creativity Center and the rest of the library stays open so people can use it. So at least let's 01:23:28.026 --> 01:23:35.059 - remember that Jane Cronkite works very hard to make sure that you have a place to come to to make a 01:23:35.059 --> 01:23:42.373 - show. Yes, we sure do. Yes, at least she's not terminated at the library, however. Thank goodness. I'll 01:23:42.373 --> 01:23:49.406 - tell you what, she's a great boss. Yeah, but however, she is terminated from the Lenny Meesey Show. 01:23:50.178 --> 01:23:57.224 - We're talking about the Lenin Beasley Show here. Yes, right. The Lenin Beasley Show that's produced 01:23:57.224 --> 01:24:04.340 - and recorded in the Monroe County Public Library for free. It doesn't cost you any money at all. All 01:24:04.340 --> 01:24:11.667 - you need is your library account. Yes. Oh, of course. If it's through me, there's a video taping studio 01:24:11.667 --> 01:24:17.022 - at Rewind, too. So I've done some taping sessions at Rewind. Oh, very good. 01:24:17.506 --> 01:24:26.583 - So I've done it since season two. So almost three years ago in April 2016. And you're still making shows 01:24:26.583 --> 01:24:35.314 - for Cats? It is Cats and of course they're renovating right now. How often do you give copies of the 01:24:35.314 --> 01:24:43.958 - Lenin Beasley show to Cats to air on Channel 3 or 7? It varies. It's an up in the air thing really. 01:24:43.958 --> 01:24:47.070 - I just want to remind everyone that 01:24:47.362 --> 01:24:55.180 - Watching that you can make a TV show yourself if you want to come on to the library and you can either 01:24:55.180 --> 01:25:03.074 - make it on your own and or make it here in the digital creativity center and if you want to the library 01:25:03.074 --> 01:25:10.892 - will show it on Cable TV because the library has how many cable TV stations five five so you just want 01:25:10.892 --> 01:25:15.902 - to talk to the people at cats and feel free to make your show and 01:25:16.034 --> 01:25:23.346 - here at the Digital Creativity Center, just like Lenin. Yes. So I've been really busy a lot at my job, 01:25:23.346 --> 01:25:30.658 - saying I've been sleeping in a lot this year, too. I'm busy with making music. I'll get back on, catch 01:25:30.658 --> 01:25:38.041 - it up some episodes, so the Lenin Music Show will put it up in YouTube again, because I've been so busy 01:25:38.041 --> 01:25:43.294 - and performing. You've been gigging a lot. I've been doing a lot of gigs. 01:25:43.522 --> 01:25:51.236 - If you, ladies and gentlemen, have not seen this man perform live on stage at one of Bloomington's great 01:25:51.236 --> 01:25:58.876 - night clubs, check him out. You've got a gig coming up at the Player's Pub on December... January 18th. 01:25:58.876 --> 01:26:06.370 - Is that your next gig? Yes, it is. January 18th at 5 to 7 at Player's Pub. And that's a Friday night. 01:26:06.370 --> 01:26:11.806 - It sure is a Friday night indeed. Yep, and so you should see him perform. 01:26:11.906 --> 01:26:20.760 - very good performer, very dynamic and magnetic, and a lot of fun to watch. And when you perform, you 01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:29.613 - sing and play from the heart. Yes. Yes, you do. And you also are performing, usually you'll sing and 01:26:29.613 --> 01:26:38.993 - play guitar, but then you're performing two backtracks of drums and keyboard and bass, and you've recorded 01:26:38.993 --> 01:26:41.886 - all of those backtracks yourself 01:26:42.210 --> 01:26:51.997 - here in the recording studios at the library, right? Yes. Yeah. And those are very, those, those recordings 01:26:51.997 --> 01:27:01.149 - are very high quality, Lenin. I know. I sure know. I'm very, I'm very impressed. And it's, and I've, 01:27:01.149 --> 01:27:09.214 - I've gotten to see you perform two or three times and, and I love it. And I know that I, 01:27:09.442 --> 01:27:18.970 - I had to miss your last gig at the Blockhouse, but any of the other times I've seen you perform, you 01:27:18.970 --> 01:27:28.403 - had me hootin' and hollerin' and screamin' your name, Lenin! Lenin! Just like a crazy teenager at a 01:27:28.403 --> 01:27:35.006 - Beatles concert. Yes. So, indeed, we need to do better in 2019 still. 01:27:35.394 --> 01:27:44.042 - We're still going to do better in 2019. Well, I hope that I'm not the only one who you expect to do 01:27:44.042 --> 01:27:52.777 - better. Yeah. And we're all going to do better. We're all going to do better. We're going to work as 01:27:52.777 --> 01:28:01.599 - a team. Right. And maybe one of the things that we have to do to work as a team is explore other ways 01:28:01.599 --> 01:28:03.934 - to be successful. Yes. OK. 01:28:04.418 --> 01:28:12.608 - He said, yes, you heard it, ladies and gentlemen. Anyhow, Kevin McDowell, what a great, long interview. 01:28:12.608 --> 01:28:20.956 - This is very great, of course, about the Christmas story and, of course, the Lenin Beasley Show situation 01:28:20.956 --> 01:28:29.146 - of the year 2018 alone. Yeah, in fact, we've talked so much about the Lenin Beasley Show situation that 01:28:29.146 --> 01:28:32.926 - maybe we should talk some more about Christmas. 01:28:33.122 --> 01:28:39.990 - Yeah, we do need to talk some more about Christmas. I know that you're not going to tell me because 01:28:39.990 --> 01:28:46.995 - I've already asked a few questions and said you're not going to give any secrets. So I'm not going to 01:28:46.995 --> 01:28:53.862 - ask this as a question, but I'm going to make it as a statement and say that I hope that this Lenin 01:28:53.862 --> 01:29:00.318 - Beasley special Christmas episode has a little segment about the Christmas story. Yeah. Yeah. 01:29:01.122 --> 01:29:11.385 - Right. Do you like to tell stories? Sometimes. Could you tell a little story about Mary and Joseph? 01:29:11.385 --> 01:29:21.648 - How they have to go outside of their community and try to find some place where they can be safe to 01:29:21.648 --> 01:29:30.782 - have a little baby? In Bethlehem. Right. Because they weren't from Bethlehem, were they? 01:29:31.010 --> 01:29:37.785 - Why did they have to leave? Where are they from? Nazareth? Jerusalem. They're from Jerusalem? 01:29:37.785 --> 01:29:45.064 - I don't know. It's hard. I think they might be from Nazareth. I know that Jesus, as a young man, and 01:29:45.064 --> 01:29:52.344 - once he started his ministry, I think he was from Nazareth. And they had to go somewhere else. And I 01:29:52.344 --> 01:29:58.686 - think maybe it was Bethlehem where they had to go because that's where Joseph was from. 01:29:58.786 --> 01:30:06.905 - He was the patriarch and they had to, for the consensus reasons, but there was no place for them to 01:30:06.905 --> 01:30:15.511 - stay. Right. So they had to sleep with the pigs. Yes. And the sheep. Yes. And the snakes and the spiders. 01:30:15.511 --> 01:30:23.711 - Right. Who knows what all was in that little manger. Right. That's where baby Jesus was born, right? 01:30:23.711 --> 01:30:24.766 - Yes, indeed. 01:30:26.882 --> 01:30:35.776 - So, Mr. Kevin McDowell, so I'm so pleased to have you on my show. It's a really good, big, long interview, 01:30:35.776 --> 01:30:44.337 - so, and this Christmas special, The Let It Be Easy Show, very long special. It is a more than two-hour 01:30:44.337 --> 01:30:52.981 - episode. I just, I forgot to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, it is more than a two-hour episode on this 01:30:52.981 --> 01:30:56.638 - Christmas special, The Let It Be Easy Show. 01:30:56.994 --> 01:31:04.984 - I just want to remind you guys, so I just want to let you guys know. Not that longer is better. Longer 01:31:04.984 --> 01:31:13.284 - is better. Oh no, not always. I disagree. I don't think longer is always better. I think better is better. 01:31:13.284 --> 01:31:21.662 - Better is better, however. Better is better even though it's longer, so better is better. Better is better. 01:31:22.498 --> 01:31:32.553 - Yep. Of course, video announcements already taking place every episode. Okay. So as always, spent it 01:31:32.553 --> 01:31:42.707 - for almost two years. So for video announcements came in. So since season three. So anyway, so that's 01:31:42.707 --> 01:31:51.966 - why we're taking, it used to be a 60 minute and now it's going to 90 minutes is the minimum. 01:31:52.706 --> 01:32:01.497 - Hey, look who's there. So, if you would stay right here real quick. Kevin, it was so good to see you 01:32:01.497 --> 01:32:10.809 - on the Lenny BC Show Second Annual Christmas Special. Thank you so much for having me, Lenny. Yes, indeed. 01:32:10.809 --> 01:32:19.687 - And of course, Kevin McDonald, ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back for our Lenny BC Show Second 01:32:19.687 --> 01:32:21.950 - Annual Christmas Special. 01:32:22.114 --> 01:32:37.823 - Right after this! Hey, welcome back to the Lennon B.C. Show Second Annual Christmas Special Program 01:32:37.823 --> 01:32:51.646 - Special, everybody. Yes, indeed. This continues on this episode, however, at this time. 01:32:52.514 --> 01:33:02.654 - I'm really thrilled that I already went to her restaurant and was the owner of her restaurant years 01:33:02.654 --> 01:33:13.098 - ago. So I am finally brought her with me and let me introduce my another new guests on my show. That's 01:33:13.098 --> 01:33:18.878 - two new guests together so far in this episode. However, 01:33:19.138 --> 01:33:28.020 - I would like to introduce my new guest and her first appearance on my show, which is a good Christmas 01:33:28.020 --> 01:33:37.164 - present for me as for you to be on my show as your first appearance. Ladies and gentlemen, from Rachel's 01:33:37.164 --> 01:33:46.046 - Cafe was the owner of Rachel's Cafe in Bloomington, Indiana. Ladies and gentlemen, Mrs. Rachel Jones. 01:33:46.210 --> 01:34:00.016 - All right. Hi, Rachel. How are you? I'm good. And you? I'm wonderful, Rachel. So it was so wonderful 01:34:00.016 --> 01:34:13.002 - to see you. So I was there with Rachel's Cafe closing. Yes. So around three years ago. So yes, 01:34:13.002 --> 01:34:15.326 - I was there. So. 01:34:15.970 --> 01:34:25.282 - Indeed. Wow. So I guess will you tell me about, we're going to have a Christmas special. I would like 01:34:25.282 --> 01:34:34.684 - to have you tell us about what would you do for Christmas. But since it's a new guest on my show, your 01:34:34.684 --> 01:34:42.718 - first appearance. Now tell me about your restaurant from Rachel's Cafe years ago. Okay. 01:34:42.850 --> 01:34:52.488 - Well, I had a local restaurant here for eight years called Rachel's Cafe. And we were kind of eclectic, 01:34:52.488 --> 01:35:02.034 - I think. Tried to create an atmosphere where everybody was welcome. We made a lot of homemade food and 01:35:02.034 --> 01:35:11.302 - tried to be reasonable on our price. I'm not sure what you'd like to know. Yeah. We had a couple of 01:35:11.302 --> 01:35:12.414 - highlights. 01:35:12.642 --> 01:35:21.405 - We had a call from Barack Obama, the first election. That was kind of special to me. So many things 01:35:21.405 --> 01:35:30.255 - happened in the eight years that it's hard to express. It was a big coming out for me. Being able to 01:35:30.255 --> 01:35:39.806 - 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 01:35:40.034 --> 01:35:49.516 - a way for people to be able to be who they are. One of the reasons. Right. So I'm glad your eight years 01:35:49.516 --> 01:35:58.633 - in service of Rachel's Cafe went really well. Unfortunately, they're closing down in 2015. That was 01:35:58.633 --> 01:36:08.024 - a tough thing. My landlord priced us out. I couldn't afford it. But she's a businesswoman. That's just 01:36:08.024 --> 01:36:09.118 - life. Yeah. 01:36:10.242 --> 01:36:23.028 - I know. So it is. So and then, however, I glad you're finally came on my show. Well, thank you for calling 01:36:23.028 --> 01:36:35.456 - and asking me, Lena. Yes, indeed, Miss Rachel Jones. So the Lenin Beasley show. So that's really great, 01:36:35.456 --> 01:36:37.726 - Miss Rachel Jones. 01:36:38.146 --> 01:36:49.383 - So I'm absolutely excited to have you on my show here. So also I'm a songwriter too. So I wrote those 01:36:49.383 --> 01:37:00.620 - songs. These boots are made for dancing. Nice. So I really love that song. And also you have on brown 01:37:00.620 --> 01:37:07.230 - boots. I like boots too. Yes. Especially this time of year. 01:37:07.362 --> 01:37:18.883 - especially this time of year, wow. So you really enjoyed this day. So how was your year 2018 going? 01:37:18.883 --> 01:37:28.446 - Life's an amazing journey, Len, and how is 2018 going? My 2018 is doing all right. 01:37:28.802 --> 01:37:36.130 - Good. So what do you like to do for Christmas every year, Rachel? I'm going to go to my nieces this 01:37:36.130 --> 01:37:43.531 - year. It'll be a family gathering. Looking forward to it. Unfortunately, none of my children will be 01:37:43.531 --> 01:37:51.446 - there. Really? I have a daughter in Vietnam right now teaching English and a daughter that will be visiting 01:37:51.446 --> 01:37:58.334 - my ex-wife in Florida. And my son will be in Florida too. Your daughter visiting her ex-wife. 01:37:58.498 --> 01:38:09.541 - My ex-wife. Your ex-wife. Uh-huh. Wow. So your ex-wife. Wow. Did you know I had three children? I noticed 01:38:09.541 --> 01:38:20.272 - that, yeah. Okay. So I heard about it three years ago, four years ago. However, I know now. Now I know 01:38:20.272 --> 01:38:23.710 - again. I'm glad you reminded me. 01:38:23.874 --> 01:38:33.609 - What will you be doing for Christmas, honey? I really want to tell you, I'm absolutely going to be sleeping 01:38:33.609 --> 01:38:42.803 - in. Okay, sleeping's good. Yes, absolutely, honey. I just want to let you know I'm absolutely looking 01:38:42.803 --> 01:38:50.014 - forward to this 2019. We would love to have you coming back on my show in 2019. 01:38:50.114 --> 01:38:56.833 - So we would love to call you over to have you on my show. What are your expectations for 2019? 01:38:56.833 --> 01:39:04.258 - What are you, why are you so excited about it? Um, 2019, cause we need a more lit of easy show recording 01:39:04.258 --> 01:39:11.472 - taping sessions. It's for sure. However, I'm a 2019, I'm going to have more music albums. Do you have 01:39:11.472 --> 01:39:15.998 - another song in the works? I, Oh yeah. Six albums in the works. 01:39:16.162 --> 01:39:26.233 - Is that right? Yes, that's right. So I know it's Friend Day part three, Friend Day part three, 01:39:26.233 --> 01:39:37.258 - fashion show, love, 24 hour, 24 hour, romance 24 seven. And love is the answer. That's probably a duet. 01:39:37.258 --> 01:39:42.558 - Do you sing a duet at all? Me? No, you know what? 01:39:43.042 --> 01:39:52.669 - I used to sing bass in the church choir, and that's not something I want to do. So I don't sing. Well, 01:39:52.669 --> 01:40:02.390 - 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 01:40:02.390 --> 01:40:07.998 - 41 albums in the six years. That's pretty prolific. Mm-hmm. 01:40:08.162 --> 01:40:18.137 - And I've been in the recording studios with not making albums when I was in my 20s. But in my 30s, I 01:40:18.137 --> 01:40:28.014 - decided to do it, which means I did it. How old are you? 36? 37, I'm sorry. 37. This is a Christmas 01:40:28.014 --> 01:40:36.606 - special episode. I just turned 37. So anyhow, I just want to let you know, Ms. Rachel, 01:40:37.250 --> 01:40:45.201 - So I'm absolutely excited to have you here on my show. So you're doing for Christmas. You're seeing 01:40:45.201 --> 01:40:53.231 - your family, right? I am, yes. However, what are you doing for Christmas when you was a little girl? 01:40:53.231 --> 01:41:01.182 - Well, I was a little boy. Little boy. What did I do for Christmas when I was a little boy? It was a 01:41:01.182 --> 01:41:06.430 - family gathering also, which was nice. I grew up in Brown County. 01:41:06.562 --> 01:41:17.174 - in a lawn cabin out in the woods and over the river and through the woods everybody came and visited. 01:41:17.174 --> 01:41:27.579 - It was beautiful. Wow. Wow, Rachel. So, and then I'm really excited for that. You was a little boy. 01:41:27.579 --> 01:41:35.486 - Absolutely. I won't say I wasn't confused. I certainly was, but yes. Right. 01:41:36.514 --> 01:41:48.020 - So, and then now it's a woman, so. So, transgender. Transgender, yes I am. Wow. So, anyhow, I'm noticing 01:41:48.020 --> 01:41:58.869 - three years ago, so. So, transgender, so. I would have thought you noticed before three years ago, 01:41:58.869 --> 01:42:02.814 - but yes. So when I opened the cafe, 01:42:03.778 --> 01:42:14.904 - I literally came out because I went to work as Rachel. Yes. Rachel. So yes, indeed. So Rachel, I just 01:42:14.904 --> 01:42:26.031 - want to tell you, I'm really excited about my music albums will be coming out in 2019.

And I'm really enjoyed this Christmas special. 01:49:32.802 --> 01:49:42.694 - And this is the first time we're doing in the studio. Last year, Christmas special, Let it Be Easy Show 01:49:42.694 --> 01:49:52.396 - Christmas special was taped my friend Ken and Bonnie's home. And Ken and Bonnie and her daughter Erin 01:49:52.396 --> 01:50:00.766 - and Mary and Edie, of course, Linda from last Christmas special, first annual. But now, 01:50:01.250 --> 01:50:10.275 - We're in the studio for the first time ever. So for Christmas special on the Let it Be Easy show right 01:50:10.275 --> 01:50:19.037 - here in the studio. So I would like to introduce my final two guests of the episode and of the year 01:50:19.037 --> 01:50:27.886 - of 2018. However, at this time, I would like to introduce from the busman's holiday and the brothers 01:50:27.886 --> 01:50:29.726 - of Roger's brothers, 01:50:30.242 --> 01:50:37.665 - Let me introduce my good friends, Lewis and Edison. Hey, how's it going, Lenny? Hey. Hey, how you doing? 01:50:37.665 --> 01:50:44.875 - Good to see you. Good to see you too. So Lewis, this is your second appearance for you. That's right, 01:50:44.875 --> 01:50:49.470 - second time. So waiting way too long. You've been here on the... 01:50:49.602 --> 01:50:57.015 - Second anniversary of let it be easy show. I know feels good. It's way too long It's not too long very 01:50:57.015 --> 01:51:04.499 - 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 01:51:04.499 --> 01:51:11.912 - saying you had Lewis on once and then you felt like it was a bad sign So you'd have him on again until 01:51:11.912 --> 01:51:15.294 - now. Yeah, so Well, yeah glad to be here today 01:51:15.394 --> 01:51:25.484 - Cause we need to keep letting music show at least every two to three months to come back. Cause over 01:51:25.484 --> 01:51:35.575 - three months that doesn't look good. So, however, um, might need to get a new agent. We'll see. So I 01:51:35.575 --> 01:51:44.766 - just want to let you know, uh, I already have, um, lost eight guests on the show this year. 01:51:44.994 --> 01:51:51.991 - So I'll talk about that later. But right now, I would like to have you be here on my show, Addison. 01:51:51.991 --> 01:51:59.058 - And of course, Lewis, I'm glad you're here right now. Yeah. Glad to be here. I thought we were going 01:51:59.058 --> 01:52:06.055 - to be at Ken and Bonnie's. So I sort of geared up for that. But hey, glad to be here in the studio. 01:52:06.055 --> 01:52:13.822 - It's the first time in the studio. Yes, it is the first time in the studio, however. Yes. Yeah, it feels good. 01:52:15.042 --> 01:52:22.950 - So, we're excited to meet Linda. That's right. But also the other two. Yes. However, now every year, 01:52:22.950 --> 01:52:31.172 - let's start with you, Addison. Every year you're doing the Mike Adams set, Mike Adams show for Christmas 01:52:31.172 --> 01:52:39.002 - special. Yeah, we generally have a Christmas special. That's one thing that we're always consistent 01:52:39.002 --> 01:52:43.230 - about. In fact, there was just talk of trying to meet 01:52:43.522 --> 01:52:52.384 - here soon to get the details together. I think it may be Friday. So something for us to talk about with 01:52:52.384 --> 01:53:00.991 - our agent, see if our schedules are free. Yes. So indeed. So I really want to tell you, Mr. Addison, 01:53:00.991 --> 01:53:09.598 - I've been on the Mike Adams show as a special guest and on a commercial. Yes, you have. That's true. 01:53:09.986 --> 01:53:19.310 - So last year, I was unexpectedly surprised guest on the show. Very unexpected. Very unexpected. Yeah, 01:53:19.310 --> 01:53:27.994 - it was quite the feat. It was. Yes. So I am really excited about it. So I was last year. Yeah, 01:53:27.994 --> 01:53:34.302 - it was fun. Exciting moment. We had a good time. Yeah, it was great. 01:53:34.786 --> 01:53:42.666 - And I had you play, Lewis, I had you play keys. That's right, that's right. When I was talking. 01:53:42.666 --> 01:53:51.203 - That's right, that's right, you did. So I'm really excited about it, so. And that was really explosive. 01:53:51.203 --> 01:53:59.739 - Mike Adams said it's on the Mike Adams show, however. Yeah. It was an exploded crowd. It was, the crowd 01:53:59.739 --> 01:54:04.254 - was exploded. Mm-hmm. Because of me, I like preaching. 01:54:04.642 --> 01:54:12.685 - Yeah, you're working on preaching, weren't you? Yeah. You ever thought about being a preacher? No. So, 01:54:12.685 --> 01:54:20.495 - I just, I introduce things. You just like introducing people. Introducing, yeah. Is that a position 01:54:20.495 --> 01:54:28.460 - you can fill? Preacher, introducer? No. Maybe you could do that. Introduce preachers. Yeah. Take care 01:54:28.460 --> 01:54:30.334 - of two things. Exactly. 01:54:30.658 --> 01:54:39.131 - Yes. Welcome to the stage right now. You're beloved, your favorite, you're loyal. Richard Johnson. I 01:54:39.131 --> 01:54:48.107 - was going to say Johnson. Yeah. However, now Mr. Addison, I just really want to let you know, Mr. Addison, 01:54:48.107 --> 01:54:57.083 - it's going to be a wonderful time at the Mike Adams Show. Yes, definitely will be. And then so you haven't 01:54:57.083 --> 01:55:00.606 - done no Mike Adams Show for a year again. 01:55:01.474 --> 01:55:10.536 - It's been a year since we did it last. That's true. It's crazy. It's really something. Really something. 01:55:10.536 --> 01:55:19.167 - So I hope you get some more Mike Adams Show episodes in. I agree. I miss doing it regularly. It's a 01:55:19.167 --> 01:55:27.712 - great time. But you know what it's like to plan a show. It's hard work. I know. You know about it. 01:55:27.712 --> 01:55:29.438 - I know. Apparently, 01:55:30.050 --> 01:55:40.319 - I hope we're doing season six on The Lennon Beezer Show. That's the hope. So, because I want to explain 01:55:40.319 --> 01:55:50.588 - why in just a few more minutes. However, I'm going to go to Lewis. How are you? I'm doing great. I just 01:55:50.588 --> 01:55:59.870 - bought a head for my drum. Really? Which drum? My snare drum. The snare drum. You play drums? 01:56:00.002 --> 01:56:07.089 - A little bit, yeah. Really? You know the rhythm, right? I know a little bit about the rhythm, yeah. 01:56:07.089 --> 01:56:14.177 - So, yup, indeed. So, I'm really excited about it. That's very exciting. I'm very excited to put the 01:56:14.177 --> 01:56:21.477 - new head on my drum. Which head did you go with? I went with a Remo drum head. It's premium. Very fun. 01:56:21.477 --> 01:56:28.919 - I love it. I love playing drums. Did you get a battered one? Is there a ring on there? No ring. No ring. 01:56:28.919 --> 01:56:29.982 - Just battered. 01:56:30.722 --> 01:56:39.469 - Yep, so you play a little bit of drums, Lewis. A little bit of drums, yeah. And guitar, right? And guitar. 01:56:39.469 --> 01:56:47.889 - So you play both, right? I play guitar, I play piano, I play bass, drums. Yep. Yep. Yep. One man band. 01:56:47.889 --> 01:56:56.145 - One man band. Yeah, well, two man band, really, but specifically. I could be a one man band. Easily. 01:56:56.145 --> 01:56:59.742 - Easily. Like you. Right. One man band. Yes. 01:57:01.218 --> 01:57:10.817 - Yes, indeed. So when are we going to do an album? When are we going to do an album? Oh, we're doing 01:57:10.817 --> 01:57:20.415 - one right now. We're getting an album together right now. That's right. Oh, yeah? Yeah. So I'd like 01:57:20.415 --> 01:57:29.534 - to be a guest singer. Guest singer? We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe that'd be fun. That'd be fun. 01:57:29.794 --> 01:57:36.252 - doing an album. You did with Erin Tobey, right? We have. We have done stuff with Erin Tobey. She hasn't 01:57:36.252 --> 01:57:42.710 - 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 01:57:42.710 --> 01:57:48.982 - left out, so. Oh, well, you know. Not intentionally. No, not at all. I mean, we were left out of the 01:57:48.982 --> 01:57:55.626 - latest Coldplay album. That's true. Oh, yeah? They didn't ask us to be a part of it. No. I'm not comparing 01:57:55.626 --> 01:57:59.166 - us to Coldplay. Just saying that's an album that we were 01:58:01.090 --> 01:58:10.301 - Yeah, but the intentions weren't there. I don't think Chris Martin said, you know, who's not gonna be 01:58:10.301 --> 01:58:19.421 - in this record us Bussman's holiday. Yeah I like like was with our last record in you. Yeah So we'll 01:58:19.421 --> 01:58:27.006 - probably I like to tell you I really need to be at least one song At least one song 01:58:29.282 --> 01:58:37.512 - You've done a lot of songs with Erin Tobey, right? Some, some, a couple. Just a couple. Three or four. 01:58:37.512 --> 01:58:45.582 - Three or four, that's still not very much. No, no, no. But she was only a guest. A guest. In return, 01:58:45.582 --> 01:58:53.812 - we weren't on Erin Tobey's album. That's right. You weren't. Sometimes you're not right for the track. 01:58:53.812 --> 01:58:59.166 - There's nothing personal, it's just not right. Yeah, that's right. 01:59:00.418 --> 01:59:09.885 - So apparently, I really needed to be in it, so. Yeah. We can see if we can fit you in somewhere. 01:59:09.885 --> 01:59:19.841 - We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, it never helps to crease the pockets of the producers of the 01:59:19.841 --> 01:59:29.406 - record. I mean, you know, if two or five or $700 just falls in the way between us and the studio, 01:59:29.954 --> 01:59:37.780 - And whose name is written on there? Linda Beasley. That is only joking. Well, I'm joking until it's 01:59:37.780 --> 01:59:45.997 - not funny anymore. Because it's reality. So I'm trying to make money on my own music. Yeah, that's good. 01:59:45.997 --> 01:59:54.214 - That's a good thing to do. Hard to do at times. Yeah, you're trying to make money too, right? It's true. 01:59:54.214 --> 01:59:59.614 - We're all trying to make money. In this business that we are all in, 02:00:00.418 --> 02:00:08.107 - Definitely. So mine's iffy, so. Yeah, I agree. Because a lot of people don't want to buy my music no 02:00:08.107 --> 02:00:15.721 - more. I don't know. You know, I work over at the record store. I sell one of your albums every once 02:00:15.721 --> 02:00:23.563 - in a while. There you go. Consistent sales. Wow, yeah. You sell some stuff. Yeah. I would say you sell 02:00:23.563 --> 02:00:30.110 - more than most local artists. Whoa, look at that. Oh, yeah. Dang. You're doing great. 02:00:31.394 --> 02:00:43.080 - Well, yeah, but I'm trying to grow as much people as I can. I understand that. Sure. Sorry. Yep. 02:00:43.080 --> 02:00:55.369 - And yep, apparently. Well, I know we're going to try to meet together. I have you do an album, a full 02:00:55.369 --> 02:00:58.622 - album with me. So all you, 02:00:58.882 --> 02:01:11.093 - I use what we're going to do. I do know this. Apparently, I just want to let you know that, um, that 02:01:11.093 --> 02:01:23.788 - I got to do the keyboards and vocals first and drums. Cool. And then I know I'm going to do vocals again 02:01:23.788 --> 02:01:28.382 - myself too. Yeah. So I'm going to do. 02:01:28.482 --> 02:01:41.247 - Since I play drums and vocal, it'll mess the click. And I don't want the click to play in. That's why 02:01:41.247 --> 02:01:54.013 - I do the second round on my self of vocals again. However, I do want to tell you is I'm going to give 02:01:54.013 --> 02:01:56.766 - you for you to listen 02:01:58.082 --> 02:02:06.382 - And then you're again, uh, at least four times. Okay. Listen, at least to my boy singing, however, 02:02:06.382 --> 02:02:15.018 - of course, the words, of course, specifically, however, and then we're going to do a recording session 02:02:15.018 --> 02:02:23.486 - with me together. So, so figure something out. So, however, we'll probably figure something out. Um, 02:02:24.098 --> 02:02:33.041 - Even though we're coming in, so we're coming in. Just noticed that the two of you are sort of seasonally 02:02:33.041 --> 02:02:41.728 - dressed. Yeah, we look like we're on a holiday show. Yeah. Oh boy. It is a holiday show right now. It 02:02:41.728 --> 02:02:50.415 - is a holiday show. So it is now. It's fun. Oh yeah, however this time. Now let's get back to Addison. 02:02:50.415 --> 02:02:53.822 - What did you do for your Christmas last 02:02:54.114 --> 02:03:04.009 - years years and years ago well we're talking about years and years and years ago yes I think I made 02:03:04.009 --> 02:03:14.299 - made some ornaments for the Christmas tree right out of construction paper yes there's probably another 02:03:14.299 --> 02:03:21.918 - one where I made decorations out of what's that stuff called salt salt dough 02:03:22.946 --> 02:03:32.258 - It's like dough, but you just use it to make sculptures out of and stuff. Right. Yeah, that makes sense. 02:03:32.258 --> 02:03:41.216 - Garland out of popcorn. Yes. Maybe some garland made out of cranberries. Yes. Very cool. Yeah. Years 02:03:41.216 --> 02:03:50.350 - and years ago for Christmas. Was there any memories that stick out to you of our Christmases years and 02:03:50.350 --> 02:03:51.326 - years ago? 02:04:04.546 --> 02:04:10.539 - Sledding. I always like sledding. That's fun. I haven't sled in a long time. Oh yeah, for sure. It's 02:04:10.539 --> 02:04:16.887 - not so much snowy outside right now. No. You can't really do that. No, not currently. It was snowy earlier 02:04:16.887 --> 02:04:22.820 - this season. I thought it was going to be snowy throughout this whole season. That's what I thought 02:04:22.820 --> 02:04:28.813 - too. Not the case. I'm wondering, do you think on Christmas, is there going to be snow? I don't know 02:04:28.813 --> 02:04:32.254 - if there's snow. Let's say if you're a betting man. Yeah. 02:04:32.674 --> 02:04:38.839 - How much would you bet that it's going to snow on Christmas? How many hundreds of dollars? I really 02:04:38.839 --> 02:04:45.190 - don't know. Let's put you down for two and a half hundred dollars. Yeah. All right. I just watched the 02:04:45.190 --> 02:04:51.540 - film Battle of the Sexes. You guys watch that one? No. It's about Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs and 02:04:51.540 --> 02:04:57.644 - about their match in the 70s and how it's sort of like men versus women. Oh, tennis. Yeah, tennis. 02:04:57.644 --> 02:05:00.542 - Oh yeah, I should have said it's about tennis. 02:05:01.058 --> 02:05:07.797 - It's got Emma Stone and Steve Carell in it. Yeah, it looked good. Was it good? Yeah. It was pretty enjoyable. 02:05:07.797 --> 02:05:14.108 - Yeah. Nice. It was pretty good. I'd say it's well-casted. There's more going on there than I expected. 02:05:14.108 --> 02:05:20.479 - Nice. I thought it was going to be a little bit of a light toward my favorite. Yeah. And there was some 02:05:20.479 --> 02:05:26.667 - of that, but also some drama there. Nice. And I bring it up because in it, I guess Bobby Riggs was a 02:05:26.667 --> 02:05:29.118 - big gambler. He had a gambling problem. 02:05:29.602 --> 02:05:37.374 - So part of the reason he put this together was just to make like a gambling scenario. His whole thing 02:05:37.374 --> 02:05:45.375 - was he was going to offer her a set amount of money and then like maybe it would be a thing where people 02:05:45.375 --> 02:05:53.147 - could bet on it or something. At some point he bets on himself in the thing and he loses. Yes. But it 02:05:53.147 --> 02:05:59.166 - was fun to see just all these bets and stuff pop up and even though he goes to 02:06:00.706 --> 02:06:06.395 - betters anonymous meeting, really still just makes you want to bet. Put down fun little bets. Bet you 02:06:06.395 --> 02:06:11.972 - a dollar, you can't get this crumpled up piece of paper in that trash can. That's what you just did 02:06:11.972 --> 02:06:17.550 - with Lenin. That's what I just did with Lenin. Just trying to put some money on if there's going to 02:06:17.550 --> 02:06:23.127 - be snow on Christmas Day. Yeah. So something you can do at home if you're watching now. You can put 02:06:23.127 --> 02:06:27.422 - bets on things. That's great. I don't endorse it, but some of you can do it. 02:06:34.466 --> 02:06:42.759 - on tennis games on there, where they put a bunch of obstacles between Bobby Riggs and the person he 02:06:42.759 --> 02:06:51.466 - was playing, like some chairs. He also does a bunch of stunts, gearing up for the thing, so he's playing 02:06:51.466 --> 02:07:00.256 - with a bunch of sheep on the court, and he's dressed up like Lil Bo Peep, plays with a big tennis racket, 02:07:00.256 --> 02:07:02.910 - plays with a pan at some point. 02:07:05.346 --> 02:07:12.729 - Yeah, I don't know if I remember many Christmas stories, though. Right. Yep, yep. You ever go fishing, 02:07:12.729 --> 02:07:20.040 - Lenin? I used to way years ago, but I don't do that. You ever ice fished? No. Ice fishing, that seems 02:07:20.040 --> 02:07:27.207 - like a good holiday. That seems like a fun time. You have some hot cocoa and a carafe? Hot fishing, 02:07:27.207 --> 02:07:34.590 - ice fishing, that's not for me to do. How about hot fishing? You ever try hot fishing? No. Not really. 02:07:35.234 --> 02:07:42.515 - But being in a hot climate, it's like you were in a Barbado tropical fishing. But when it's especially 02:07:42.515 --> 02:07:49.867 - hot, not like in an off season. You're there and it's blazing hot and you're glad that you're knee deep 02:07:49.867 --> 02:07:57.502 - in water because it's keeping you sort of cool. You're still dripping sweat, hot fishing. Fire fishing? No. 02:07:58.722 --> 02:08:09.212 - Oh, um, by the way, um, um, I'm going to have a, uh, a great future, uh, 2019. However, um, well, I'm 02:08:09.212 --> 02:08:19.702 - not only just doing a London Beatsley by himself, uh, cause, um, real album music album, but however, 02:08:19.702 --> 02:08:27.518 - we're going to do a full album, a full album. We're talking about here. So. 02:08:28.098 --> 02:08:42.909 - Or get coordinated with you with the Lennon Beasley music album, Lennon Beasley plus Bussman's Holiday. 02:08:42.909 --> 02:08:57.150 - So. So a full album. Full album. But before I finish, I just want to say I know I'm going to record 02:08:57.698 --> 02:09:06.919 - I know I'm going to record me and drums and of course, um, extra vocal again, so I can get rid of the 02:09:06.919 --> 02:09:15.960 - clicking for sure. Cause I really don't like that clicking back background clicking at all. I mean, 02:09:15.960 --> 02:09:25.362 - definitely on the fitness track, you never want to click track. Of course not. No bummer. However, yes, 02:09:25.362 --> 02:09:26.718 - now I do know. 02:09:27.938 --> 02:09:37.782 - 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... 02:09:37.782 --> 02:09:47.433 - A song that's all there is to it? Who wants to sing that song on your record? On my record. All you 02:09:47.433 --> 02:09:57.470 - have to do is bring vocals. Come do vocals. And I'll have a couple friends gonna take care of the rest. 02:09:57.730 --> 02:10:10.035 - When you say a couple friends, do you mean Kenny Arnoff and John Mellon? I don't think so. Tom Miller 02:10:10.035 --> 02:10:21.374 - plays... Can't say it, I get you. Tom Miller, our new Cats production assistant, plays piano. 02:10:21.794 --> 02:10:37.250 - So I might get together with him so he can play keys and I can play drums. So and lead vocals. I'm lead 02:10:37.250 --> 02:10:48.990 - vocalist. However, I'm gonna start with an album with apparently it's gonna be 02:10:49.154 --> 02:10:59.798 - you on The Busman's Holiday plus Lenny Beasley. Did you get a scoop from some entertainment magazine? 02:10:59.798 --> 02:11:10.964 - No, I don't. Because that's what it sounds like. There's some big wigs talking about this one. Apparently, 02:11:10.964 --> 02:11:16.286 - I'm going to write songs about Bloomington places. 02:11:16.738 --> 02:11:27.352 - You want to write an album about Bloomington Places? I like that. Apparently so. It's interesting. However, 02:11:27.352 --> 02:11:37.180 - we know we're going to invite you to do vocal recording with me. Of course, I'll be the director of 02:11:37.180 --> 02:11:44.158 - the vocals. We know in vocal recording session with me how this works. 02:11:44.610 --> 02:11:53.337 - Um, so we're going to listen to my five voice. Of course, I'll give you a demo to hear. And of course 02:11:53.337 --> 02:12:00.696 - you come back and to do a vocal recording session. I will, I'll be doing a recording. 02:12:00.696 --> 02:12:09.423 - I'll be, um, engineering. And then of course you're going to, we're going to do playbacks to at least 02:12:09.423 --> 02:12:11.134 - two or three times. 02:12:13.346 --> 02:12:23.300 - Let me finish. Well, and then we're going to do recording. Then we'll record after we play it at least 02:12:23.300 --> 02:12:33.060 - two or three times. There's playback. And then the fourth playback will become recording. So I'll be 02:12:33.060 --> 02:12:37.022 - directing and I'm going to help you all. 02:12:41.666 --> 02:12:53.717 - But don't worry, it's all on me. So you're gonna be participating, both of you however, so in a full 02:12:53.717 --> 02:13:05.650 - album, Lenin Beasley plus Bussman's Holiday. But the onus is off us. How many tracks do you usually 02:13:05.650 --> 02:13:07.678 - got on a record? 02:13:08.098 --> 02:13:15.940 - 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 02:13:15.940 --> 02:13:23.782 - going to be a CD. 25 tracks? If it's really short, then yes. Okay. So let's go ahead and go through 02:13:23.782 --> 02:13:31.703 - just like the first five Bloomington places on this list of 25 that you would make songs about. What 02:13:31.703 --> 02:13:34.526 - do you think you would write about? 02:13:35.682 --> 02:13:46.185 - Apparently going to about reading at the library. The library is number one. Library or going to the 02:13:46.185 --> 02:13:56.687 - busman's show. Oh wow, I like that one. Lennon BC's experience and I'll think of something so that's 02:13:56.687 --> 02:14:03.966 - all I know for now but however. How about the food court at the mall? 02:14:04.578 --> 02:14:13.562 - I think apparently we can, so. Okay, that's a pretty good topic. Yeah. So anyhow, I'll have some ideas 02:14:13.562 --> 02:14:22.633 - 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. 02:14:22.633 --> 02:14:31.530 - So, and yeah. What's your favorite part of the McDonald's that you work at? Dishwashing and of course 02:14:31.530 --> 02:14:32.926 - lobby cleaning. 02:14:33.378 --> 02:14:39.270 - And counter. Do you clean the counter or you talk to the customers? Customers. Customer service. Oh, 02:14:39.270 --> 02:14:45.279 - is that good? Customer service. So if they're like, this burger's got too many pickles on it, you say, 02:14:45.279 --> 02:14:51.230 - let's get some of those pickles off there. Yeah, I had to ask the growth people, so I'm going to make 02:14:51.230 --> 02:14:57.298 - a new one. Nice, you're the in-between. What happens to all the burgers that you guys get to eat those? 02:14:57.298 --> 02:15:00.798 - They have too many pickles or something, you get sent back. 02:15:00.898 --> 02:15:10.764 - Same bag. We're gonna throw it away and have them make a new one. But I mean like if you guys wanted 02:15:10.764 --> 02:15:20.924 - to I mean, you know, you know, yeah No No I would but So by the way Bad boy eating burgers out of trash 02:15:20.924 --> 02:15:30.302 - cans. Yeah, that's not good. However I would like to be nice to have Amy Oh gonna be on my show 02:15:30.818 --> 02:15:41.655 - So Amy Oh, I really love Amy. Oh, yeah. She's great. Wonderful. So it will love to invite her to be 02:15:41.655 --> 02:15:53.033 - on my show. I agree. Great. So, um, also, uh, apparently, um, if we do get season six running, uh, we're 02:15:53.033 --> 02:15:59.102 - going to do, um, I'll be start videotaping back of, uh, 02:15:59.266 --> 02:16:10.397 - local bands like any local band. Cool. And a possibility to put it on the Lenny Beasley show. And if 02:16:10.397 --> 02:16:20.866 - it is possible and if it works, if it works, then we're going to have a local band film. Cool. 02:16:20.866 --> 02:16:26.046 - I like it. So and then and we're going to have 02:16:26.242 --> 02:16:35.218 - We've got to put in a Lenny Beasley show as well. Great. That's a bandstand film. So that's 02:16:35.218 --> 02:16:45.365 - a nice opportunity for local bands. So it's a good opportunity. You're going to find new opportunities. 02:16:45.365 --> 02:16:51.902 - So however, 2018, 28 episodes recorded, including this one. So 28. 02:16:52.930 --> 02:17:03.147 - 28 or, and last year we got 44, 44 and dropping down to 28. You know why we're dropping down quality? 02:17:03.147 --> 02:17:13.464 - Uh, yeah, but, um, we lost eight people. We sure. I sure did. Lost eight people. We got two today. How 02:17:13.464 --> 02:17:22.078 - about that? But you got two today, but, um, however, but, um, those eight people did. 02:17:22.594 --> 02:17:31.126 - Delaying me four times one guest delayed four times Cancel four times and she's terminated. We have 02:17:31.126 --> 02:17:39.658 - a note first announcer you put a hit on her Yeah, so first announcer got Yeah terminated I wouldn't 02:17:39.658 --> 02:17:48.276 - say fired but it's similar to fire getting fired but Terminated blackless I've said it for years now 02:17:48.276 --> 02:17:51.774 - Lenin Beasley ain't nothing to fuss with 02:17:53.090 --> 02:18:02.656 - Yep. And I don't care. And if they want to watch the Lenin Beats and show after they get terminated, 02:18:02.656 --> 02:18:12.222 - I don't want them to watch it. So. Oh, wow. All off. So all off. So, however, at this time, we would 02:18:12.222 --> 02:18:21.694 - like to do some vocal taping session with me. So I'm going to you're going to hear me in my vocals. 02:18:22.146 --> 02:18:32.989 - I'll do the vocals first and then I give you the stem of the songs. Hear it five times, at least five 02:18:32.989 --> 02:18:43.727 - times here at your home. However, we're gonna do it at the library. And of course you're still gonna 02:18:43.727 --> 02:18:51.806 - hear it three times, at least in the studio too. That's also good, however. 02:18:52.386 --> 02:19:01.038 - Also good and then that way it'd be safe and that means should be good to go and then it'll be recording 02:19:01.038 --> 02:19:09.690 - so Let and also at any time after the recording Take, uh, let me know. Uh if and then i'll play it back, 02:19:09.690 --> 02:19:17.931 - uh again after the recording so So, um, it'd be um, all the songs is also written by lennon beasley 02:19:17.931 --> 02:19:21.886 - all the songs will be written by lennon beasley 02:19:22.050 --> 02:19:30.877 - Very good, all of original material.
