Oh boy, is that Slingshot?

Tony Merkel (0:26)

Welcome to Slingshot Nation, everybody. Thanks for being here. We have the shades on, because our eyes are, I don't know. I don't know why I have the shades on. Hope you guys are doing well. Derek, how you doing, man?

Derek (0:36)

You threw them on, so I was like, I'll throw them on too.

Tony Merkel (0:37)

I know, I threw them on. They were just sitting there, and I just wanted to put them on. So now we have shades on, like the cool kids. Look at the Merck Merck t-shirts jumping the gun here. Jack, how you doing, man? Pleasure. Let's just rush through this.

Listen, guys, we hate, we hate it, and every week it happens. It's been happening less and less, but this week was terrible. Starting late, let me take these off. Starting late, we told you guys, what was the original time, Jack, that we were saying we were gonna show up at?

Jack (1:06)

11.30.

Tony Merkel (1:08)

11.30, well, we're an hour and 15 minutes behind. But we were trying, we were here and we were trying, but there was just things happening. That AI video I tried making for you guys, it's terrible, I know. Don't even sweat it, I know, it's bad.

But it was the best I could do. I was trying here, I was trying. Listen, today we're going to talk about these rituals that are happening in these concerts.

Quite honestly, we could have done so many different topics when it comes to this. The music industry, obviously, what goes on to the records and things like that, but also the movie industry, the TV industry, what they're putting on the television for your children. We could do a whole Slingshot Nation Live on just kids TV shows and what they're putting in the kids TV shows.

We are going to be talking about these musicians that seem to work their way up in the industry through nefarious means or some would call the dark arts. It seems like it's a culture that has been there for a very long time, and they put the clues in their music as to what they're all about. So we're going to be getting into that today. Some fresh things have come across the desk here, actually across Derek's desk.

We had a powwow yesterday. This week was just like a running gun week for us. I was even late getting to the studio today, and because I was planting a free book, and so it's just been a lot going on, and we had a powwow in the hallway yesterday about today's show, and that's as far as our preparation got. So Derek's going to be running with his research today for sure. Guys, listen, this is book launch week, and The Confessionals Exposing Warring Kingdoms is now available on Amazon for live purchasing, and thank you for everybody who pre-ordered, and everybody who's ordering. Thank you very much. Please go ahead and get your copy, and also take a picture of you holding it, or you don't have to be in the pictures. I know some people don't like being on camera, but take a picture of the book, you holding it, and post it online, share it around. We will share the pictures that we see. We will post them in our stories and things like that. And one of the things that I was like, hey, you know what we should do? Whose idea was it? It was Lindsay's idea. That's what it was, the scavenger hunt, right? It was. Yeah, so, what was it? Two days ago on Monday, I think it was, or Tuesday? It was Tuesday. Tuesday when your book came out. You and I went into Knoxville, and we planted a book. So we took a book, one of these books, hard copy, right here, or not hard copy, paperback copy, and we put it in a bag, and we hid it in Knoxville at the Sunsphere. And then Lori, like an hour or two later, went there and found it, and she posted a picture of it online, and we shared it. So shout out to Lori. And then yesterday, I was with my family, because the kids are out of school, and we were doing some family stuff, so I didn't really get a chance to plant a book yesterday. So today, I'm actually trying to plant two. I already planted one this morning. Go on Instagram, Facebook, and check it out. There's a video of me planting the book. I don't tell you where it is. It's a scavenger hunt, so you gotta figure out where the book is. Go get it. There's a free book waiting for you if you go find where it's at.
