Transcript
- 0:14SPEAKER_01: And I,
- 0:15SPEAKER_01: and to be fair,
- 0:17SPEAKER_01: before I start smashing to be fair,
- 0:21I honestly do believe from talking to Michael that they're
- 0:27making their decision
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: with the best of intentions,
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: but I,
- 0:32SPEAKER_01: but I think they're making a terrible decision.
- 0:35I think they,
- 0:37I think the answer has to be,
- 0:38yes,
- 0:38we will absolutely honor it.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: Whether you get a fucking refund or not, honestly,
- 0:45And I know they probably don't have a legal necessity to do
- 0:48that,
- 0:50but it does not matter.
- 0:52This is not a fucking grocery store where you take back a bad
- 1:00pair if you fucking
- 1:02SPEAKER_01: bought it and it's bad.
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: And if they don't refund it,
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: then you fucking...
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: If you got a bad piece of food and they won't refund it,
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: you probably still shop at that grocery store,
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:16SPEAKER_03: probably a high,
- 1:17SPEAKER_03: high,
- 1:18SPEAKER_03: highly likely you would.
- 1:19SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:19SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:21SPEAKER_01: Bands are not like that.
- 1:23SPEAKER_01: Bands, especially bands that would do a crowdfunding campaign.
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: They are dealing with the hardest of hard cores.
- 1:31They are dealing with the,
- 1:33the people that literally play into what we always make fun of
- 1:37that.
- 1:38SPEAKER_01: Think of their band guy as a God is just a dude.
- 1:42You know,
- 1:43they,
- 1:43they're not the people that listen and say,
- 1:45oh,
- 1:45I like Queensryche songs.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: They had, they had like two or three really good ones.
- 1:49You know,
- 1:49these are the people that are like,
- 1:52I named my son Reich and,
- 1:57or I made name my son.
- 2:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: Well, that's, but that guy is one of those guys.
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: I guarantee you that guy that named his son,
- 2:05SPEAKER_01: Dockin,
- 2:06SPEAKER_01: if doc in the band did a crowdfunding thing,
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: he'd buy everything on the fucking crowdfund.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
- 2:14SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm sure he would.
- 2:16SPEAKER_03: I mean,
- 2:16SPEAKER_03: and he did,
- 2:17they did drive a considerable distance to attend that show a
- 2:22few weeks ago that I
- 2:23SPEAKER_03: hooked them up with.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: But that's what I'm saying is there's those kinds of fans.
- 2:29And then there's,
- 2:32and,
- 2:32and those kinds of fans are the ones that do pledge music,
- 2:37right?
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: Those are the ones that want the $150 vinyl that signed by all the guys.
- 2:43SPEAKER_01: Those are the ones that want the stage used drum head and the,
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: the opportunity to spend four hours golfing with Michael Wilton.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: You know, those are those fans, right?
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: And those are the ones that are going to get fucked and get,
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: you've watched every episode of the shield,
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: right?
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: Have you watched the shield?
- 3:07SPEAKER_01: No.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: Well, there's an episode of the shield that,
- 3:12where the police captain is,
- 3:16he's running to be the mayor of the city councilman rather.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 3:20SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 3:21SPEAKER_01: And he's,
- 3:23SPEAKER_01: as he's running to be the city councilman,
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: the there's a lady that is an absolute worshiper of him.
- 3:29SPEAKER_01: I don't know if she wants to fuck him or what,
- 3:31SPEAKER_01: but she's,
- 3:32SPEAKER_01: she's just like,
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: she's,
- 3:33she's a worshiper and she's standing outside some fucking
- 3:36grocery store trying to
- 3:38SPEAKER_01: recruit people to,
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: to,
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: um,
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: vote for him.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: And she doesn't have a permit.
- 3:44So the police roll up on her and they tell her that she has to
- 3:47go because,
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: she doesn't have a permit.
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: She won't go.
- 3:51SPEAKER_01: So she gets arrested.
- 3:53SPEAKER_01: They bring her back to the police station and they,
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: they go and they get the captain and they tell him,
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: dude,
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: we don't really want to bust her out for nothing,
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: but you know,
- 4:02maybe you could talk to her and tell her that she can't set up
- 4:06for the grocery
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: store.
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 4:07SPEAKER_01: She can't canvas out in the public.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 4:14SPEAKER_02: What's the most painful way to die?
- 4:17SPEAKER_02: Shotgun blast?
- 4:18SPEAKER_02: Speeding bus?
- 4:20SPEAKER_02: Drowning?
- 4:21SPEAKER_02: But for many, burning alive is the most unimaginable fate.
- 4:27In 1994,
- 4:28Chris survived an industrial accident that left him with burns
- 4:31over 69% of his body.
- 4:34SPEAKER_02: Just living defied all odds.
- 4:38SPEAKER_02: In Call Me Chris,
- 4:39SPEAKER_02: Chris Akin shares his harrowing journey of survival,
- 4:42SPEAKER_02: recovery,
- 4:43SPEAKER_02: and the brutal honesty of facing life after the flames.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: It's raw, real, and a testament to human resilience.
- 4:52SPEAKER_02: Get your copy of Call Me Chris today at chrisakin.net or on Amazon.
- 4:58SPEAKER_02: Witness the power of determination.
- 5:05SPEAKER_03: Area without a permit.
- 5:07SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 5:07SPEAKER_01: So he comes up to her and she's locked in the cage.
- 5:10SPEAKER_01: He lets her out and he lets her off without being fined or anything.
- 5:13SPEAKER_01: And he says, look, you know, I really appreciate the sentiment.
- 5:17SPEAKER_01: I think it's, I think it's cool, but really all I need is your vote.
- 5:22SPEAKER_01: I don't want you to go out, out there where it's not legal.
- 5:25And I,
- 5:25you know,
- 5:25I just want you to,
- 5:26to give your vote for me and that's good enough.
- 5:28SPEAKER_01: You know, polite way out.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: Cut fast forward 10 minutes.
- 5:34She's back outside the grocery store with a sign that says,
- 5:37fuck David Acevedo.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: He's an asshole and don't vote for him.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: Vote for his competition.
- 5:43SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 5:43SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: That's what Queensryche is doing.
- 5:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: If they don't honor this shit,
- 5:50SPEAKER_01: they are going to cross off a lot of diehards from their fucking,
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: from their fan base.
- 5:58SPEAKER_01: And I know it's not their fault, but you know what?
- 6:00Sometimes in business things happen that aren't your fault and
- 6:03you have to fucking.
- 6:04SPEAKER_01: Make it right.
- 6:05SPEAKER_01: Suck it up and make it right.
- 6:07SPEAKER_03: Well,
- 6:08SPEAKER_03: I think we pointed this out last week that,
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: uh,
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: people were not,
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: were not investing in pledge music.
- 6:16SPEAKER_03: They were investing in Queens, right?
- 6:18SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 6:18SPEAKER_03: Of course.
- 6:19SPEAKER_03: And most people don't understand that pledge music is just a third party.
- 6:26SPEAKER_03: They think I'm giving my money to Queens, right?
- 6:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah, of course.
- 6:31SPEAKER_03: So they don't think of pledge music as an entity all in its own.
- 6:34All they know is that my $50 or my a hundred dollars went to
- 6:40Queens,
- 6:41right?
- 6:42SPEAKER_03: They don't consider pledge music as the go between.
- 6:45SPEAKER_03: No.
- 6:46SPEAKER_03: So it's just like, wait a minute.
- 6:48I threw my 100 bucks your way and I'm,
- 6:52you're telling me I'm getting nothing.
- 6:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 6:56SPEAKER_03: And that's how it's perceived.
- 6:58SPEAKER_03: And then it's just like,
- 6:59SPEAKER_03: well,
- 6:59SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 7:00you did it through pledge music and pledge music is the one who
- 7:03screwed you.
- 7:04SPEAKER_03: Well, but your name was on it.
- 7:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 7:07SPEAKER_01: I wasn't buying the pledge music fucking backstage laminate.
- 7:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:12SPEAKER_01: I was buying the Queensryche laminate.
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 7:15SPEAKER_01: That is signed by you fucks, not by the CEO of pledge music.
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 7:21SPEAKER_01: You know?
- 7:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: I mean, is it a bad situation?
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: It most certainly is terrible.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: It's, it's, it's a shame.
