00:01 I love Mike Hanson Archives. Anyways, I had a good time talking with you. I might call back here before your show's over and... Did you see the beginning video? Yes, I did. What'd you think about the military music video? It was pretty good. I just kept thinking that I was going to see some explosions when you were showing those crosshairs. Oh hold on! Hold on don't hang up! Can we squeeze our little cargo like this
00:50 And then they kept scanning off over this way or whichever way, and you see the flashes of light. Oh okay that's what I was expecting when I kept seeing the scanning in the little grid...I was maybe hoping that you had choreographed me the music to set the explosion. Hold on! I'm trying to talk to him! Go ahead. Now we've had this problem before about showing dead bodies on a show I want you to show that body. Last time we had a friend of mine got shot by TDCJ Dog Handlers and we had some good video of it. Why don't you show us? Cut it out! Now in this case, we have some photos of dead Iraqis
01:37 should we show them? gruesome. they show pictures of dead Americans jumping up and down on their bodies yeah like the Somalia situation they were showing some pretty graphic footage of that shouldn't we show it the way it actually is I mean well I wouldn't be surprised I mean hold on let him answer I don't know, that's just kind of a judgment call on your part. Whether you want to show that or not some people wouldn't want to see that but... Some of it gets pretty gross Yeah but as far as the material i've seen on access television That would be something minor compared to what i've seen people play
02:20 You know Christian side or blow Henry show I mean stay up. Yeah, you saw this bad about time Chris because always there for well, yeah, we're sure today Yeah, he uh... I made him cry like a little girl for about 30 minutes on his show one night. Well at least you know for awhile there all he wanted to do was have sex with Alex and with Alex's dog and with Alex's mail box! God! With Alex's car! This guy had a vendetta against Alex that you wouldn't believe! And we tried to tell them but we just think what happened out here was wrong and were trying to help right it That's all What do ya think? I agree totally with you I think it has been a long time coming Has been a long time coming
03:04 We're certainly glad to see you out here. I think this is just the beginning Yes sir, yeah i do too i'm afraid thank you sir You're welcome. Well, Bob and Ed gave me a call... Don't know but they come out of... Plenty of activity as you can see it is a 1410
