1:59
SPEAKER_04: It was, yeah, always a good thing.
2:01
SPEAKER_04: Um but uh I think what summed it up for me was we were just outside of Prescottisle coming home, and I had two girls sitting behind me.
2:16
SPEAKER_04: I'm sitting in the front seat in the bus, and two girls sitting behind me, and these two girls are I mean this in in an endearing way, sort of.
2:28
SPEAKER_09: Which means you're gonna slam them.
2:30
SPEAKER_04: They are two of the busiest uh uh careless.
2:39
SPEAKER_04: Uh how how can I put that?
2:41
SPEAKER_04: They're a pain in the neck.
2:43
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
2:43
SPEAKER_04: Basically, you know, in in everyday life at school.
2:48
SPEAKER_04: Good I mean, I like them.
2:51
SPEAKER_04: I guess I'm I'm saying I don't like them, but they they give me a hard time.
2:54
SPEAKER_10: Oh, sure.
2:55
SPEAKER_04: And they complain about everything.
2:57
SPEAKER_04: Uh and they're always loud and laughing at something, which is a great way to go through life, I guess.
3:03
SPEAKER_04: Um but that won't cause problems later in life.
3:06
SPEAKER_04: Right, exactly.
3:07
SPEAKER_04: But um in in just a moment of and they didn't know that I heard this.
3:14
SPEAKER_04: Um they were quiet there for a second, and then just before we got into town, one of them turned to uh the other and like a couple of people around them that said, Guys, this weekend was fun.
3:27
SPEAKER_04: And it was like, Yeah, it was.
3:29

3:35
SPEAKER_04: Um so what we did uh we'll we'll get to the rest of the podcast here in a second.
3:41
SPEAKER_04: What we did was um we drove down um Sunday and went to check in the hotel.
3:49

4:31
SPEAKER_04: Um and we spent about an hour or an hour and a half um just talking and and sh they were showing us um their instruments and and things.
4:41
SPEAKER_04: And what I th I think is really cool is I would say I'm gonna say 75% of my 65 kids have never been exposed to that kind of music, um those kinds of people, those kinds of instruments, uh, never seen one up close.
5:06
SPEAKER_04: And that was worth it right there.
5:09

5:26
SPEAKER_09: And you have dinner at the college?
5:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was easier that way.
5:31
SPEAKER_04: Because of time constraints.
5:32

5:58
SPEAKER_04: We had to be back to the Merrill Auditorium before seven.
6:01
SPEAKER_04: And uh getting 65 kids to go somewhere and eat um like without going to the mall food court and being scattered all over there.
6:12
SPEAKER_04: Where is everybody, you know, and you know, that type of thing.
6:15
SPEAKER_04: So they were all in one place, and it was actually kind of genius.

6:31
SPEAKER_09: Right.
6:31
SPEAKER_09: They play the movie and then they they're played in the soundtrack line.
6:34
SPEAKER_04: Right.
6:34
SPEAKER_04: So the music is pulled out of the movie.
6:36
SPEAKER_04: They take the the the dialogue is there and everything else is there, but they pull the music out and the Portland Symphony plays the music and you would not have known.
6:44
SPEAKER_04: I mean, it was that precise.
6:46

6:50
SPEAKER_04: Um and the kids really dug it.
6:53
SPEAKER_04: Well, good.
6:53
SPEAKER_04: And we actually you would be this kind of I'm not sure it'll blow your mind, but it's uh it was surprising to me, I guess.
7:03
SPEAKER_04: But I shouldn't be, you know, it's one of those things people our age, we think, oh yeah, you you know that, but they don't.
7:10
SPEAKER_04: No.
7:11
SPEAKER_04: We showed them Star Wars at uh the high school like the week in the weeks before because they'd never seen it.

7:21
SPEAKER_04: Right, many had, but a good a good lot of them had not seen Star Wars.
7:25
SPEAKER_04: And so we wanted to prepare them for this being episode five, technically, or the second movie made.
7:32
SPEAKER_04: And so, you know, they they enjoyed the movie and uh got applause in a couple areas because we were we were um we were right down front uh for the performance, but the Merrill Auditorium was full of people and yeah, and some of them were in costume and everything, yeah, yeah.
7:53
SPEAKER_09: You always get those, yeah.
7:54
SPEAKER_04: But there are a couple of spots in Empire Strikes Back, so one of them is where uh Yoda says, Ah, no try.
8:02
SPEAKER_04: Do or do or do not.
8:04
SPEAKER_04: There is no try.
8:05

8:22
SPEAKER_04: Um that got applause as well.

8:28
SPEAKER_04: It was kind of neat to be part of that.
8:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
8:30
SPEAKER_04: You know, and I think the I think the kids, I want to say the kids was the first time they were a part of something like like that.
8:36
SPEAKER_04: That uh nostalgia and that whole Well, you're not gonna find that up here, so no, exactly.
8:43
SPEAKER_04: So uh and then we went back.
8:46
SPEAKER_04: We that that was the hard part.
8:48
SPEAKER_04: A lot of it was traveling on the bus.
8:51
SPEAKER_04: Um, because we stayed at a hotel in Augusta.
8:53
SPEAKER_04: So we'd drove an hour to Portland and then we drove an hour back to the hotel.
8:58
SPEAKER_04: So we finished about 9:30, drove back to the hotel.
9:02
SPEAKER_04: Everybody was tired, which is great, actually.
9:05
SPEAKER_04: Went right to their rooms and to bed.
9:07
SPEAKER_04: So it was good.
9:08
SPEAKER_04: And then we got up on Monday, they were able to sleep in.
9:15
SPEAKER_04: Some of them went to the pool, and what what I mean by they, not me.
9:20
SPEAKER_04: Uh so like I said, we got back and we got in bed, but I was in bed at after midnight on Sunday night, and the pool opens at six, and some of these kids were like, I'm in a hotel, I want to go, I want to go to the pool.
9:35
SPEAKER_04: Somebody had to be in the pool, uh, or at the pool, so chaperones took turns.
9:40
SPEAKER_04: So we got up early, showered and everything, and and we're down at the pool.
9:46
SPEAKER_04: And so some of them were at the pool, some of them were just sleeping in, and then let's see, what do we do?
9:53
SPEAKER_04: Let's see what what uh we went to um we ate at the mall.
9:58
SPEAKER_04: We ate lunch at the mall.
10:00
SPEAKER_04: Uh so we drove another hour down to the Portland Main Mall.
10:04
SPEAKER_09: You know, there's a mall in Augusta, right?
10:06
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, we we wanted to be in because we were going to the OSHA School of Music, which is at the University of Southern Maine.
10:13
SPEAKER_09: Okay.
10:13
SPEAKER_04: So makes sense.
10:14
SPEAKER_04: So we went to the mall and we we ate there, and that's right in the food court, and of course, it was raining the whole time, so we couldn't do an outdoor tour of University of Southern Maine.
10:24
SPEAKER_04: So they said, well, let's give them a little bit more time at the mall.
10:28
SPEAKER_04: Stick.
10:29
SPEAKER_04: So uh everybody we and all their meals were paid for.
10:33
SPEAKER_04: This was a great thing for the mu the music boosters paid for everything.
10:36
SPEAKER_04: Right.
10:37
SPEAKER_04: Um, and so we gave each of them$15.
10:41
SPEAKER_04: They all went, had food, and then uh did a little bit of shopping, and then we had to round them up because they did a little bit of shopping.
10:48
SPEAKER_04: I said, we want to meet back here at 1215 because we're leaving at 1230.
10:52
SPEAKER_04: Where is so-and-so?
10:54
SPEAKER_04: Or so well, they were last time I heard they were in hot topic.
10:57
SPEAKER_04: Well, they're not here at 1215.
11:00
SPEAKER_04: So we had to go track people down, which is what might have happened had we not eaten at the university, right?
11:06
SPEAKER_04: Correct.
11:07
SPEAKER_04: So, um, and then we went to the OSHA School of Music, which is on the campus of the University of Southern Maine.
11:14
SPEAKER_04: Uh and I I know I'm talking a lot, but I just don't want to get this out because it's fresh in my mind.
11:20
SPEAKER_04: Um, and then uh the OSHA School of Music was fantastic, my first time there.
11:25
SPEAKER_04: Um state-of-the-art um building soundproof, and and just so the band worked with a professor, music professor at at the OSHA school, and my chorus worked with Dr.
11:36
SPEAKER_04: Kyle Neils Nielsen, who's the core choir director.
11:39
SPEAKER_04: And we worked with him for like an hour and a half, and and one of the reasons that we were going down is on Tuesday the band played in the rotunda of the State House in the Capitol.
11:51
SPEAKER_08: Right.
11:52
SPEAKER_04: And my chorus sang the national anthem to open up the session of the main senate.
11:59
SPEAKER_04: Um and my chorus was doing a two-part version of the Star Spangled Banner.
12:05
SPEAKER_04: Uh, not very difficult, but my lower end, my my altos were struggling pitchwise and and remembering the the part.
12:13
SPEAKER_04: And and so Dr.
12:14
SPEAKER_04: Nielsen, I said, he's like, What do you want to what do you want to work on?
12:17
SPEAKER_04: I'm like, Well, let's polish up the national anthem so we can put on a a good face, you know, for the states in it.
12:26
SPEAKER_04: So we worked on that.
12:27
SPEAKER_04: And some of the techniques that he taught them were very valuable, and it it was almost like night and day that he changed the vibe of the chorus and everything, so it was great.
12:38
SPEAKER_04: Um, and then we went back to the mall and we they went shopping for a couple hours, and then a bunch of them went bowl, well, 18 of them went bowling.
12:48
SPEAKER_04: Mr.
12:48
SPEAKER_04: Bragdon wanted to go bowling.
12:50
SPEAKER_04: So he he went there and took 18 kids, and the other 46 came with me to the movies.
12:59
SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
13:00
SPEAKER_04: And I don't know if you've ever been to a regal, excuse me, movie theater with the recliners and stuff.
13:07
SPEAKER_04: No.
13:08
SPEAKER_04: Um the you you go in, you you tell them what movie you want to see, and then you get to pick your seat.
13:16
SPEAKER_04: And uh so it's like a like F eleven, so that's your seat in that particular theater.
13:24
SPEAKER_04: But they didn't have uh what movie was playing what time and which theater because they had like eleven theaters or something, eleven auditoriums.
13:35
SPEAKER_04: And so we got there and and I mean you can imagine 46 kids going through a line getting food and their ticket.
13:45
SPEAKER_04: And what are you gonna see?
13:46
SPEAKER_04: Well, it's gotta be PG 13 or below.
13:49
SPEAKER_04: So most of them saw uh Hoppers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or uh Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
13:57
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there's a oh Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.
13:59
SPEAKER_04: I think it's like a uh The vanilla ice one?
14:02

14:02
SPEAKER_04: I think it's like a uh an anniversary edition or something.
14:05

14:07
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
14:07
SPEAKER_04: Uh there was one called Goat.

SPEAKER_09: And yeah, it's the Stephen Curry movie.
14:12
SPEAKER_04: And the and one called uh Reminders of Him, which is like a romantic.
14:17
SPEAKER_09: So it's the people that made uh This is the End of Us.
14:20
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
14:21
SPEAKER_04: So I didn't really feel like watching an animated one, so I got a ticket to Reminders of Him and all the all the girls and and the w female chaperones were like, oh, Mr.

SPEAKER_04: Mosier, bring your tissues.
14:31

28:37
SPEAKER_04: Um let me go back to my story.
28:40
SPEAKER_04: So we're coming back from uh Augusta.
28:44
SPEAKER_04: We stopped in Bangor for lunch.
28:46
SPEAKER_04: We had arranged to have lunch at this place called Heroes Um Bar and Grill.
28:53
SPEAKER_04: I never heard of it.
28:54
SPEAKER_04: It's down on the waterfront.
28:55
SPEAKER_04: I don't I'd I had heard of it too, but I I didn't know where it was, and I I'd never been there.
29:00
SPEAKER_04: Um but and they're usually closed for lunch.
29:03
SPEAKER_04: And so uh another teacher from the high school was taking down the National Honor Society today uh to their convention and they were having lunch at Heroes, and she says, We could we could piggyback, you could stop in and have lunch there too.
29:20
SPEAKER_04: Oh, because I know the owner.
29:22
SPEAKER_04: And so the owner opened it up for them.
29:23
SPEAKER_04: They had so they had pizza and all kinds of stuff all waiting for everybody.
29:28
SPEAKER_04: Oh, nice.
29:28
SPEAKER_04: So we walked into Heroes, and of course, there's my son because he's on the National Honor Society.
29:33
SPEAKER_04: He didn't know that I was coming.
29:37
SPEAKER_04: He's beating everybody at uh foosball, not foosball, air hockey, air hockey, yeah.
29:42
SPEAKER_04: And uh, so I I didn't, but before we got there, I said, I don't know who I've never been there, I don't know where it is.
29:49
SPEAKER_04: And then the bus pulls up to it, and I'm like, Oh, I've played here.
29:54
SPEAKER_04: And they're like, What?
29:55
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, my band played here, but it wasn't heroes, and they're like, Oh, it must have been Jimmy V's.
30:01
SPEAKER_04: Yes, it was Jimmy V's.
30:02
SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, it was the rock docks.
30:03
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, we put we played down there once, so um, and I told Okay, I know where you're talking about now.
30:09
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's right down on the water waterfront.
30:10
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and uh, it's in the like a strip, like a strip mall or something.
30:13
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.
30:14
SPEAKER_04: And so I I uh the I saw the owner and I said, uh, I really like what you what you've done here.
30:21
SPEAKER_04: This is really cool.
30:22
SPEAKER_04: And he's like, and I told him that story.
30:24
SPEAKER_04: I said, Yeah, I've I've played in this in this building.
30:27
SPEAKER_04: He's like, Oh, Jimmy V's?
30:28
SPEAKER_04: I was like, yeah.
30:31
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so um but yeah, I think Eli was a little surprised.
30:36
SPEAKER_04: And boy, wasn't that a how can I say it was a social clash that was uh interesting because you had uh music kids, band kids, chorus kids, yeah, and National Honor Society kids, and they were like kind of commingling, which was I mean it was it was interesting to watch, but it wasn't was it like oil and water, or was it like no, not no not like oil and water.
31:08
SPEAKER_09: I'm surprised a lot of band kids aren't in in NHS.
31:10
SPEAKER_04: That we had three.
31:11
SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
31:12
SPEAKER_04: We had three, so that's one of the reasons that it worked out because uh we drove up from Augusta and uh we dropped off three three people for the NHS convention, so they're still down there.
31:25
SPEAKER_04: Oh right they're coming back tomorrow, I think.
31:27
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
31:28
SPEAKER_04: Um their convention is tomorrow.
31:30
SPEAKER_04: But that's an even longer trip for those three, you know, because they were down.
31:33
SPEAKER_04: They went down, one of them had one um Finn had a Harbor House basketball tournament this weekend.
31:43
SPEAKER_04: So my wife took the kids down uh Friday night, had games all day Saturday, games all day Sunday, came back Sunday night.
31:52
SPEAKER_04: This um student had games Friday and Saturday and met us on Sunday to do this trip, and then she got dropped off to do the National Honor Society.
32:06
SPEAKER_04: So that's kind of that's an even longer.
32:10
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
32:11
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
32:11
SPEAKER_04: So anyway.
32:12
SPEAKER_09: That's a long week.
32:13
SPEAKER_04: It is a long week.
32:14
SPEAKER_04: But the good news is it's a short week for for a lot of these kids because you know, like I said, we have two half days and then no no school on Fridays.
32:21
SPEAKER_10: Yeah, so that's good.
32:22
SPEAKER_04: So I won't see my I won't see my chorus again until Monday.
32:27
SPEAKER_09: It's probably actually probably good because I've had enough of you guys for a while.
32:31
SPEAKER_09: That's probably true.
32:32
SPEAKER_09: Hostile of Easter, lose my right.
32:35
SPEAKER_09: All right.
32:35
SPEAKER_04: So let's uh let's let's do some music news or s or something.
32:41
SPEAKER_04: Because we, you know, this was I've been talking the whole time.
32:43
SPEAKER_04: Did you have anything you want to talk about?
32:45
SPEAKER_04: Now do I do everyone uh sometimes you do sometimes, but sometimes I'll I'll I'll I'll go to you and you're like actually, yeah, I wanted to talk about this.
32:52
SPEAKER_04: And and yeah, I got nothing.
32:54
SPEAKER_04: Okay, good.
32:55

33:48
SPEAKER_04: I'm not kidding you.
33:49
SPEAKER_04: Let me read on.
33:51
SPEAKER_04: It's more complicated than that, so let's get up to speed as quickly as possible.
33:55
SPEAKER_04: This was written by Matthew Wilkening.
33:58
SPEAKER_04: Late last year, the former KISS guitarist unveiled an unconventional plan to release his long-awaited new album, Guitar Mageddon.
34:04
SPEAKER_04: He would pre-sell one song at a time for$200 per person, but only complete the sale and ship each single once they reached 1,000 sales.
34:14
SPEAKER_04: If successful, this plan would have earned Vincent$200,000 per song, plus another$25,000 in shipping fees.
34:24
SPEAKER_04: However, not enough people were willing to pony up, causing Vincent to threaten to shelve the album forever.
34:30
SPEAKER_07: No.
34:31
SPEAKER_04: And as you recall, he said, unless I get compensated for my work, the album stays unheard.
34:36
SPEAKER_04: It comes down to this if the fan support is not there, which it does not appear to be, this record will not be released.
34:42
SPEAKER_04: And I'm fine with that.
34:44
SPEAKER_04: It will be the greatest album of all time, never to be heard, never to be released.
34:48
SPEAKER_04: If people want my music and think they're punishing me by not buying it because of the price, it matters not to me.
34:53
SPEAKER_04: They're the ones who will lose out.
34:56
unknown: Wow.
34:57
SPEAKER_09: I mean, how does this guy get in out of buildings?
35:00
SPEAKER_09: His head must be frickin' huge.
35:02
SPEAKER_09: Must be the size of the Goodyear Blimp.
35:04
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
35:05
SPEAKER_04: So a couple days ago, March 15th, uh Vincent re-emerged with a new plan.
35:10
SPEAKER_04: The entire album was now available for two million dollars, and the buyer has the right to act like a record label by manufacturing it and selling it.
35:20
SPEAKER_04: The arrangement brings to mind Wu Tang Clans Once Upon a Time in Shaolin.
35:25
SPEAKER_04: The rap group only made one copy of that album and sold it for two million dollars in 2015, with the buyer agreeing not to sell any copies until 2103.
35:35
SPEAKER_04: It's been on quite a journey since then.
35:38
SPEAKER_04: In a Facebook post announcing his offer, Vincent explained that the buyer will get 10 songs mixed in master final product format, all the master files of the artwork related posters, and ten separate vinyl and CD packaging art for each individual song, should the buyer choose to release the album on a per song basis.
35:57
SPEAKER_04: The buyer can choose to release the entire album in any format they desire, vinyl, CD, or any other configuration, in whole or in part at their discretion.
36:04
SPEAKER_04: The price will also include a perpetual license to use the brand name Vinnie Vincent Invasion and Vinnie Vincent for the life of the album.
36:11
SPEAKER_04: Now for the fine print.
36:14
SPEAKER_04: Basically, he's he doesn't have a record deal.
36:16
SPEAKER_10: Obviously.
36:17
SPEAKER_04: So he's looking for a record deal.
36:22
SPEAKER_04: Now for the fine print.
36:23
SPEAKER_04: All marketing plans and ideas require approval by Vinnie Vincent.
36:27
SPEAKER_04: The price does not include any right, title, or interest in the copyrights and or trademarks related to Vinnie Vincent or the product itself.
36:33
SPEAKER_04: If the buyer wishes to purchase any associated rights in the compositions, a separate agreement can be arranged and negotiated.
36:39
SPEAKER_04: So if it was a record company, they would own the product.
36:43
SPEAKER_04: Right.
36:44
SPEAKER_04: Right?
36:44
SPEAKER_04: So he's not giving them the rights and the license to the product.
36:49
SPEAKER_04: He's giving them the right to manufacture it and sell it and make money from it.
36:53
SPEAKER_08: Right.
36:54
SPEAKER_04: Given that he gets paid his two million dollars, plus he would probably make all any all royalties.
37:00
SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
37:02
SPEAKER_04: Right.
37:03
SPEAKER_04: The offer does not specify that the buyer will be granted exclusive distribution rights, nor does it state how long the life of the album is, or what kind of marketing plans and ideas will and won't be approved by Vincent.
37:15
SPEAKER_04: So those are just a few of the questions you might want to run by your lawyer before purchasing purchasing arm Guitar Mageddon at Vinny Vincent's official website.
37:24
SPEAKER_09: I just don't um This may be this may go down in history of one of the stupidest ideas ever.
37:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I I I just don't get uh what he is going for here.
37:39
SPEAKER_09: Um if he's looking to to um I wonder if he's suffering some from some sort of uh brain disorder.
37:47
SPEAKER_04: Like any publicity is good publicity uh or you know something like that.
37:55
SPEAKER_09: Um Yeah, but who's the moron that's gonna pay Vinnie Vincent.
38:02
SPEAKER_04: There are morons with two million dollars that would do something like that.
38:06
SPEAKER_09: But I'd like to think they're a little smarter than that.
38:11
SPEAKER_04: I say stay tuned.
38:13
SPEAKER_04: I say, you know, we we we say to ourselves, there's no idiot out there that will do this.
38:19
SPEAKER_04: But I bet there is.
38:20
SPEAKER_09: There probably is one, yeah.
38:22
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I bet there is.
38:23
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
38:23
SPEAKER_04: Um along those same lines, uh Gene Simmons from KISS.
38:29
SPEAKER_04: Of course, if if you didn't know Vinnie Vincent was in KISS for like five minutes.
38:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
38:34
SPEAKER_04: Um, that's where he got his name.
38:36
SPEAKER_04: Uh Vinnie Vincent Invasion came after Kiss, but uh I don't even think besides, I mean, besides having Mark Slaughter in it, uh, and then Mark Slaughter going on to start Slaughter, I don't know that there's anything there wasn't any hit songs from Vinnie Vincent Invasion, were there?
38:52
SPEAKER_09: None that I can.
38:53
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I can't think of any.
38:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
38:54
SPEAKER_04: Um anyway, Gene Simmons reveals KISS' latest plans.
38:58
SPEAKER_04: Uh, let's see.
38:59
SPEAKER_04: A long-awaited rock and brews restaurant this week in uh Detroit Rock City.
39:03
SPEAKER_04: Uh despite its retirement from touring in 2023, they've got plenty more on its docket in the not too distant future.
39:10
SPEAKER_04: I have to say, I have to hand it to KISS.
39:15
SPEAKER_04: They have made more money from business deals and merchandising than they've made from their music.
39:23
SPEAKER_09: Well, that's why they're smart.
39:24
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
39:25
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
39:26
SPEAKER_09: I mean, yeah, the music's music's okay.

39:39
SPEAKER_09: I mean, you know.

39:40
SPEAKER_09: I mean, they really did it right.
39:42
SPEAKER_09: So.
39:43
SPEAKER_04: Um, and I I love the way, you know, love him or hate him, the way Gene Simmons explains things uh is quite entertaining in and of itself.
39:51
SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
39:52
SPEAKER_04: So Gene Simmons said, um, more is good, the bass playing demon says of what's coming.
40:01
SPEAKER_04: It's like if you go to into Tiffany's and ask the guy at the front door, do you have any jewelry?
40:05
SPEAKER_04: Of course the answer is yes.
40:06
SPEAKER_04: And if you say, What have you got?
40:08
SPEAKER_04: It's tough to answer because there's so many things.
40:12
SPEAKER_04: We're working really hard, all of us, in making sure that the quality of everything will blow you away because over the years the fans have been expecting not the norm, but the extra norm.
40:21
SPEAKER_04: In many ways, KISS was the caterpillar that went into the cocoon, and you think that's the end, but it's really the beginning.
40:28
SPEAKER_04: We're going to go where no band has gone before.
40:32
SPEAKER_04: So we're going to blow your socks off in a way multiple times more exciting than the sphere.
40:37
SPEAKER_04: Uh, people will go to Vegas to see a show in the sphere, are awed by the massive scale of everything.
40:41
SPEAKER_04: There's nothing wrong with the sphere, but I'll go out on a limb and make sure people understand this.
40:46
SPEAKER_04: The KISS Avatars is gonna make that seem like popcorn a popcorn fart.
40:52

41:13
SPEAKER_04: I know that's for sure.

1:19:06
SPEAKER_04: I happen to love Drew's voice more.
1:19:08

1:22:22
SPEAKER_04: Oh, oh, okay, we're not gonna zip it up because I want to tell you about this movie.
1:22:26
SPEAKER_04: Um I forgot about this.
1:22:30
SPEAKER_04: No surprise.
1:22:31
SPEAKER_04: I so my wife left Friday to take the kids down to Harbor House, the the basketball tournament.
1:22:37
SPEAKER_04: And I'm I'm I'm on a Facebook fast right now.
1:22:40
SPEAKER_04: I gave up Facebook for Lent.
1:22:42
SPEAKER_04: Um, and what that means is I just don't scroll Facebook.
1:22:48
SPEAKER_04: Right.
1:22:48
SPEAKER_04: You know.
1:22:49
SPEAKER_04: I still don't know Messenger and stuff like that, but I don't scroll and look at things, and it's been great.
1:22:54
SPEAKER_04: Um, but every once in a while I want to get on and say something just because the family went away and it was all by myself on Friday night, I said, I want to watch a movie that n no one will watch with me.
1:23:07
SPEAKER_04: You know.
1:23:08
SPEAKER_04: So I watched uh Hamnet, which is a drama, and it's uh basically so we don't know a lot about William Shakespeare's life.
1:23:21
SPEAKER_04: Uh we know he was married, and we know that he had at least one kid, I think more than one, um, and that kid died.
1:23:31
SPEAKER_04: And so they've taken some liberties and written this story about how the death of William Shakespeare's son was the inspiration for Hamlet.
1:23:44
SPEAKER_04: And that's what the basis basis for Hamlet is, because his son's name was Hamlet.
1:23:49
SPEAKER_04: And uh uh it was a slow start.
1:23:54
SPEAKER_04: The movie was a slow start, but I stuck with it.
1:23:57
SPEAKER_09: I can't imagine a movie about Shakespeare being slow.
1:24:01
SPEAKER_04: Well, uh So I gotta tell you I'm watching this movie all by myself.
1:24:15
SPEAKER_04: Um the first of all, the actor, Paul Mascal.
1:24:21
SPEAKER_04: Uh was fantastic.
1:24:24
SPEAKER_04: Very real, very you know, any and I don't know if it's because of the subject matter.
1:24:31
SPEAKER_04: You know, you know a good actor when you see him, I guess.
1:24:33
SPEAKER_04: You know, it depends on the script, it depends on you know what they bring to it.
1:24:38
SPEAKER_04: Um but Paul Mascell was it was really well done.
1:24:46
SPEAKER_04: But pales in comparison to who played William Shakespeare's wife, and that is Jessie Buckley.
1:24:54
SPEAKER_04: She's an Irish actress.
1:24:57
SPEAKER_04: And the performance in in this movie on her own and between these two was so real and guttural uh that I had to say something on Facebook and I said, if Jessie Buckley doesn't get the Oscar for Best Actress, and she did, didn't you?
1:25:17
SPEAKER_04: She did.
1:25:17
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I posted it before.
1:25:19
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
1:25:19
SPEAKER_04: I said, if she doesn't get the Oscar, it's criminal.
1:25:22
SPEAKER_04: Um because it was the most real affecting performance that I've seen in a movie in ten years.
1:25:32
SPEAKER_04: I mean it was um and and I know that I d I want my wife to watch it with me just because I want her to see the performance.
1:25:41
SPEAKER_04: Right.
1:25:41
SPEAKER_04: I I don't know that it'll it'll uh I mean I know it'll affect her.
1:25:46
SPEAKER_04: I don't know that she'll see it the way I see it as as a the performance.
1:25:50
SPEAKER_04: Right.
1:25:51
SPEAKER_04: Maybe she will.
1:25:51
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
1:25:52
SPEAKER_04: She's not I don't think she's gonna watch it with me because of the subject matter.
1:25:55
SPEAKER_04: Uh but I would say if you've got a couple hours sometime, sit down and watch Hamnet.
1:26:03
SPEAKER_04: Because it was I was in tears.
1:26:08
SPEAKER_04: You know.
1:26:08
SPEAKER_04: Um because my kids it was were away and it was one of those things, uh even if you don't have kids, the performance affected me.
1:26:19
SPEAKER_04: She was she was fantastic.
1:26:21
SPEAKER_04: I highly recommend Hamnet.
1:26:23
SPEAKER_09: Nice.
1:26:23
SPEAKER_04: Um and uh well-deserved Oscar wins.
1:26:28
SPEAKER_04: I don't know how many it was I think it was up for seven Oscars.
1:26:31
SPEAKER_04: I don't know how many it won, but I know Jesse Buckley got it.
1:26:34
SPEAKER_04: So good stuff.
1:26:36
SPEAKER_04: Nice! Uh we're not gonna use ham Hamnet for our drops.
1:26:40
SPEAKER_09: I doubt they're out anyway.
1:26:41
SPEAKER_04: That's probably true.
1:26:44
SPEAKER_04: Um we'll find something, I guess.
1:26:47
