7:38
SPEAKER_12: Uh and so Friday night I uh well, Friday into Saturday, um I got up, went to the bathroom, and because of the sleeping arrangements, because my daughter was here from Ohio, so she was sleeping in Myra's bed.
7:55
SPEAKER_12: Myra was sleeping on the couch.
7:58
SPEAKER_12: And so I went out, I went to the bathroom, and I came back, and it was kind of cold in there, so I started up the pellet stove.
8:05
SPEAKER_12: And um was kind of awake, you know, because I slept six hours.
8:11
SPEAKER_12: Apparently that's all I can sleep.
8:12
SPEAKER_12: Um That's all you need.
8:14
SPEAKER_12: So I sat down and I, you know, do what you do, started scrolling on my phone in the dark.
8:19
SPEAKER_12: Uh uh right across from Myra, who was on the couch, I was on the love seat.
8:23
SPEAKER_12: So anyway, it's really dark in there, and then and I'm scrolling, and all of a sudden I hear whimpering.
8:32
SPEAKER_12: Like right?
8:36
SPEAKER_12: And I and I look, and you know, there's a window uh between our living room and our kitchen, and I see light, and I thought the bathroom light was on.
8:44
SPEAKER_12: So I thought for a second I thought Olivia made it past me, went to the bathroom, and was crying or something in the bathroom.
8:53
SPEAKER_12: Well, what did I notwithstand?
8:56
SPEAKER_12: That's creepy.
8:56
SPEAKER_12: It is creepy.
8:57
SPEAKER_12: And it's just like three o'clock in a morning.
8:59
SPEAKER_12: It was pitch black, right?
9:01
SPEAKER_12: And then I realized it's not the bathroom light, it's headlights that are that are kind of reflecting off the windows.
9:08
SPEAKER_12: And then before I knew it, in the pitch black, my daughter-in-law is standing in my living room crying incessantly, holding her baby.
9:19
SPEAKER_07: Oh, okay.
9:20
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
9:20
SPEAKER_12: So they just came in.
9:21
SPEAKER_12: They came, she came in.
9:22
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
9:23
SPEAKER_12: And uh she's crying, she says, Can you help us?
9:26
SPEAKER_12: Our house is on fire.
9:28
SPEAKER_12: And I said, What?
9:30
SPEAKER_12: And she's crying, of course, she's she woke up Olivia for crying, and of course Teresa comes out.
9:35
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
9:35
SPEAKER_12: And so I, you know, we went outside, and all of the Blanchards, except for John and my son and uh Anna Marie.
9:45
SPEAKER_12: They were all in the van.
9:47
SPEAKER_12: And and they didn't have shoes on or socks or all on their PJs.
9:51
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
9:52
SPEAKER_12: Uh so I, you know, took the baby out and we all we brought them all into our living room.
9:57
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
9:58
SPEAKER_12: Crying.
9:58
SPEAKER_12: They were all crying.
9:59
SPEAKER_13: Oh, yeah.
9:59
SPEAKER_12: You know, just scared, scared, scared.
10:02
SPEAKER_12: All smelled like smoke.
10:03
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
10:03
SPEAKER_12: I mean it was I mean it was pretty bad.
10:07
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
10:08
SPEAKER_12: And so we sat there for I mean, it was a full house and it was chaotic.
10:16
SPEAKER_12: You know, we broke the ice, the mood was, you know, good.
10:21
SPEAKER_12: Everybody was we got people laughing and they were telling us what was going on, and they were but they were they were scared because three people were still there.
10:30
SPEAKER_12: Right.
10:30
SPEAKER_12: You know, and so and and there was a chance, there was a possibility that it was Jude's fault.
10:38
SPEAKER_12: Let me explain.
10:40
SPEAKER_12: Okay.
10:40
SPEAKER_12: So uh I told you they were sitting in the apartment.
10:43
SPEAKER_12: Right.
10:43
SPEAKER_12: Well, underneath the apartment is a boiler.
10:45
SPEAKER_13: Right.
10:46
SPEAKER_12: John had taught Jude how to put wood in the boiler.
10:50
SPEAKER_12: And you know, you open it up, you put the wood in, and then the cardboard, and then wait for the cardboard to catch, and then you close the door, but leave it open for a second and then and there was cardboard like feet away from the boiler.
11:04
SPEAKER_12: And you know, so there was like just you know, they were like, what did you because she told Jude to go down and put some wood in the boiler and he did it.
11:14
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
11:14
SPEAKER_12: He did what John told him to do.
11:17
SPEAKER_12: Uh and he's like, it couldn't have been I didn't I did everything right.
11:21
SPEAKER_12: And so there was a time where he was like, It's my fault.
11:24
SPEAKER_13: Yeah.
11:25
SPEAKER_12: You know.
11:26
SPEAKER_12: Come to find out, it wasn't.
11:28
SPEAKER_13: Okay.
11:30
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:30
SPEAKER_12: No, it was not his fault.
11:31
SPEAKER_12: It was an electrical.
11:32
SPEAKER_12: Okay.
11:33
SPEAKER_12: Um so what had happened is uh garage door opener, which is right under their apartment.
11:40
SPEAKER_12: And and someday I want to show you the pictures that John has because it's it's a miracle.
11:45
SPEAKER_12: Um the garage door opener uh I don't know, uh, was faulty and a spark or something.
11:51
SPEAKER_12: I don't know what happened, but that's what the fire marshal said.
11:54
SPEAKER_12: It was that.
11:55
SPEAKER_12: There was also an old refrigerator there.
11:57
SPEAKER_12: The wiring was just bad.
12:00
SPEAKER_12: Um and that was what started the fire.
12:03
SPEAKER_12: So anyway, the fire was contained in the garage, which is underneath their apartment.
12:07
SPEAKER_12: Right.
12:09
SPEAKER_12: And um so Jude uh Kristen called 911.
12:17
SPEAKER_12: Well, she tried to call her parents, who were right next door.
12:19
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and she called 911.
12:22
SPEAKER_12: And Jude went and got everybody in the house because they were all sleeping through the smoke detectors.
12:29
SPEAKER_12: Really?
12:29
SPEAKER_12: Yes.
12:30
SPEAKER_12: That ain't good.
12:31
SPEAKER_12: Um Hillary's deaf.
12:32
SPEAKER_12: I don't know if you knew that or not.
12:33
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I did, don't know.
12:34
SPEAKER_12: She's basically deaf.
12:34
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
12:35
SPEAKER_12: And so she would have been clueless.
12:37
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
12:37
SPEAKER_12: And John was sleeping.
12:38
SPEAKER_12: And so Jude is pounding on the door and said, get out.
12:43
SPEAKER_12: There's a fire.
12:45
SPEAKER_12: And so they just got out.
12:47
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, literally just grabbed, you know, the kids and and got in the van and came here.
12:51
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
12:52
SPEAKER_12: And so John went down to check the font, you know, to open the open the garage door, which you probably shouldn't have done.
12:58
SPEAKER_12: Um and uh the fire departments came, you know, put out the fire.
13:04
SPEAKER_12: And so by nine o'clock the next morning, we had we had everybody stayed up.
13:11
SPEAKER_12: So we were up at three o'clock in the morning.
13:12
SPEAKER_12: And so everybody stayed up.
13:14
SPEAKER_12: And Teresa uh cooked them um eggs and bacon and you know, and got them socks and clothes and stuff like that.
13:24
SPEAKER_12: And it was uh it was it was good.
13:28
SPEAKER_12: I mean it was everybody was okay.
13:32
SPEAKER_12: Well that's the main thing.
13:32
SPEAKER_12: It is the main thing.
13:33
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
13:34
SPEAKER_12: And come to find out, there's the um apartment is okay.
13:40
SPEAKER_12: Except for a couple of places.
13:42
SPEAKER_12: The house is okay.
13:44
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
13:44
SPEAKER_12: The garage is toast.
13:46
SPEAKER_12: Oh, sure, yeah.
13:47
SPEAKER_12: So interestingly enough, there are a lot of uh things that you know, we were thinking about this.
13:53
SPEAKER_12: Of course, we're a we're a spiritual family.
13:56
SPEAKER_12: And I'm gonna rewind a second.
14:00
SPEAKER_12: So so Jude c bought a house up here.
14:05
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
14:05
SPEAKER_12: It's a family house, but he's he's buying it and renovating it and stuff.
14:09
SPEAKER_12: But there were tenants there, and so they were leaving and they were taking their sweet time.
14:17
SPEAKER_12: So Jude couldn't get into the house when he wanted to get into the house.
14:22
SPEAKER_12: Right.
14:23
SPEAKER_12: Um, because they wanted to be moved in like be like at the beginning of December.
14:27
SPEAKER_12: Right.
14:28
SPEAKER_12: And the uh previous tenants didn't move out in time.
14:32
SPEAKER_12: So he couldn't.
14:33
SPEAKER_12: So he couldn't stay there.
14:35
SPEAKER_12: Which is why he was at the apartment at the Blanchards.
14:38
SPEAKER_12: And because he was at the apartment of the Blanchards, everybody survived.
14:47
unknown: Right?
14:48
SPEAKER_07: Well, yeah, if nobody been in that apartment.
14:50
SPEAKER_12: Right.
14:51
SPEAKER_07: Who knows what would happen.
14:52
SPEAKER_12: Exactly.
14:52
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
14:53
SPEAKER_12: And uh it would have been worse.
14:55
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
14:55
SPEAKER_12: Um maybe everybody would have got out, but there would be a lot more damage.
14:58
SPEAKER_07: You're right, right.
14:59
SPEAKER_12: Um and so they're here uh and you know, we give them breakfast and and then we find out they can't go in their house because there was a lot of plastic that burned.
15:11
SPEAKER_12: You're talking about the blanket.
15:12
SPEAKER_12: Yep, making the making the smoke toxic.
15:14
SPEAKER_12: Right.
15:15
SPEAKER_12: And of course, everything in their house has smoke damage.
15:19
SPEAKER_12: Right.
15:20
SPEAKER_12: Um, so uh essentially I mean, some things probably can be salvaged.
15:26
SPEAKER_12: We we're you know, we're getting clothes and we're washing all the clothes and things like that.
15:30
SPEAKER_12: Uh just the smoke smell is not coming out of everything.
15:33
SPEAKER_07: Oh no, i that'll be there for a while.
15:35
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
15:35
SPEAKER_07: Especially plastic smoke.
15:37
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
15:37
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
15:38
SPEAKER_12: So um but you know, all of the furniture that Jude and Kristen had purchased for the house, the new house, was in uh next to the apartment.
15:50
SPEAKER_12: So it's all smoke damage.
15:51
SPEAKER_12: Right.
15:52
SPEAKER_12: So they pretty much lost it.
15:53
SPEAKER_13: Right.
15:54
SPEAKER_12: Um John has pictures though.
15:57
SPEAKER_12: One of the pictures is of where the fire was.
16:03

31:00
SPEAKER_07: Yes, absolutely.
31:01
SPEAKER_07: Like out snowblowing, man.
31:03
SPEAKER_07: That would be yeah.
31:04
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
31:04
SPEAKER_12: Yep, for sure.
31:05
SPEAKER_12: Uh let's see what else that happened.
31:08
SPEAKER_12: Uh that's a lot.
31:10
SPEAKER_12: Uh oh, and then my daughter flew back uh this morning.
31:14
SPEAKER_07: I was about to say I saw her on Instagram, she was uh she was at the airport.
31:18
SPEAKER_12: I don't know what airport the traveling for her is you know, coming home for her is just a headache.
31:23
SPEAKER_12: It really is because uh well uh we were at the airport this morning at four o'clock.
31:29
SPEAKER_12: She flew out of Prescow.
31:31
SPEAKER_12: Prescott.
31:32
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
31:32
SPEAKER_12: We were at the airport at four o'clock.
31:34
SPEAKER_12: Uh she got on the plane at uh I think they were aboarding the plane at 5 15.
31:43
SPEAKER_12: And they were supposed to leave at 5 50.
31:47
SPEAKER_12: So they got on the plane on time.
31:50
SPEAKER_12: And so what we normally do is we get in the car and we go sit in the car and wait for the plane to take off, which is the thing.
31:56
SPEAKER_12: And uh they sat there and they sat there and we're texting her.
32:00
SPEAKER_13: Oh, we have to de-ice the plane.
32:02
SPEAKER_13: Oh yeah, that makes sense.
32:03
SPEAKER_13: Like, why don't they do that before people get on the plane?
32:05
SPEAKER_13: You would think so.
32:06
SPEAKER_12: And so she left at seven.
32:09
SPEAKER_12: Holy cow and missed her flight in Boston.
32:14
SPEAKER_12: Ah, yeah.
32:14
SPEAKER_12: Her connecting flight, because she was she was flying to Boston, then Boston to Pittsburgh.
32:18
SPEAKER_12: Right.
32:18
SPEAKER_12: Missed it.
32:20
SPEAKER_12: Uh it was their fault.
32:21
SPEAKER_12: Well, it was the weather's fault, really.
32:23
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, but um, it was so uh she had to book another flight.
32:30
SPEAKER_12: And so the only flight that was available was uh going to JFK in New York at like eleven.
32:38
SPEAKER_12: So she she got to Boston at like 9 a.m.
32:41
SPEAKER_12: 8:30, 9 o'clock, something like that.
32:44
SPEAKER_12: And uh the plane to New York left at 11.
32:49
SPEAKER_12: So she's like, oh I gotta go to New York.
32:51
SPEAKER_12: But I you know, gotta so she's went to JFK, but the flight from New York to Pittsburgh leaves at 10 o'clock tonight.
33:01
SPEAKER_12: So she's in JFK from eleven o'clock until ten o'clock.
33:06
SPEAKER_07: That's probably where she sent the picture from.
33:09
SPEAKER_12: Okay, that makes more sense.
33:10
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, so So she's stuck at JFK.
33:12
SPEAKER_12: She's stuck at JFK and and she's gonna get in Pittsburgh at like midnight, so somebody's gonna have to come get her at midnight.
33:17
SPEAKER_12: Jeez.
33:18
SPEAKER_12: You know, so it's just crazy.
33:19
SPEAKER_12: It is, you know, but every it happens every time.
33:21
SPEAKER_12: And as we're sitting at the airport, they have this uh uh TV screen.
33:27
SPEAKER_12: You've heard about the new airport we're getting.
33:29
SPEAKER_07: Yes.
33:30
SPEAKER_07: It's stupid.
33:31
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I don't understand why, because we only get like one or two flights a day.
33:36
SPEAKER_07: Right.
33:37
SPEAKER_07: Right.
33:38
SPEAKER_07: And why do we need a multi-million dollar airport?
33:40
SPEAKER_12: And it it's it's ridiculous.
33:42
SPEAKER_12: Uh in all in addition, what's ridiculous is we're spending all this money on this airport, and you still have to walk to the airplane.
33:52
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, dumb, man.
33:54
SPEAKER_07: It's so dumb.
33:55
SPEAKER_07: It's so dumb.
33:56
SPEAKER_07: And they're not upgrading the runway, I assume.
33:58
SPEAKER_07: No, it's just no, just the terminal, right?
34:00
SPEAKER_07: Just the terminal.
34:01
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
34:01
SPEAKER_12: And it looks pretty good.
34:03
SPEAKER_07: Well, I mean, I've seen I've seen, you know, artist conception drawings of it, and I'm like, well, okay, that's you know, that's putting, you know, that's a polishing a turd, I guess.
34:12
SPEAKER_07: Right.
34:12
SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
34:13
SPEAKER_07: I yeah, I don't know.
34:14
SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
34:15
SPEAKER_07: I mean, I'm I'm not saying that our airport is great right now.
34:18
SPEAKER_12: It's not, it's not, but it serves the purpose.
34:20
SPEAKER_12: It's tiny because we're a tiny community.
34:23
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I mean, it's not like we're you know getting thousands of people through there a day.
34:27
SPEAKER_07: I mean if you get two planes a day, it's like wow.
34:30
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it would be nice to have more flights.
34:32
SPEAKER_12: Uh oh, yeah.
34:33
SPEAKER_12: You know, but just does is this a case of if you build it, they will come?
34:38
SPEAKER_12: That type of thing?
34:39
SPEAKER_12: Who knows, man?
34:40
SPEAKER_12: I don't know, man.
34:41
SPEAKER_07: I mean, it's it's the most major airport north of Bangor.
34:45
SPEAKER_07: Yes, but well, I mean, I don't know how big Holton is.
34:47
SPEAKER_12: No, it's it's it is, it's bigger than Holton.
34:49
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, I thought it was.
34:50
SPEAKER_07: I mean, well, it's not as big as Loring.
34:52
SPEAKER_07: Right.
34:52
SPEAKER_07: I mean, because that used to have B-52s on it.
34:54
SPEAKER_07: Right.
34:55
SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
34:55
SPEAKER_07: So I mean, I don't know why they didn't do that.
35:00
SPEAKER_07: Turn Loring.
35:01
SPEAKER_07: Turn Loring into a Turn Loring into an airport.
35:03
SPEAKER_07: You would think.
35:04
SPEAKER_07: I mean, they got the room, they got the buildings.
35:06
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
35:07
SPEAKER_07: I mean, that makes sense.
35:08
SPEAKER_07: Yep.
35:08
SPEAKER_07: I mean, I think they're still storing nuclear weapons there, but uh, you know, and I think there might be an alien spacecraft down there somewhere, but that's just me speculating.
35:20
SPEAKER_07: Do not take anything I said seriously.
35:24
SPEAKER_07: I don't want men in black showing up in my house.
35:26
SPEAKER_12: Uh speaking of men in black, we were just at uh a bunch of basketball games today.
35:31
SPEAKER_12: We had four basketball games.
35:32
SPEAKER_12: Jeez.
35:33
SPEAKER_12: Um both JV teams, both varsity teams.
35:36
SPEAKER_12: Oh, that makes sense.
35:36
SPEAKER_12: And uh so during the girls' varsity, uh, the coach of MDI, uh, he chews gum, well, you know, not which is not, you know, uncommon, but he's chewing gum and he's yelling at the girls on the court and blah, blah, blah, blah.
35:50
SPEAKER_12: And when they do something wrong, he'd be like, right?
35:54
SPEAKER_12: He looks just like Vincent D'Nofrio in Men and Bull.
35:58
SPEAKER_12: After he was inhabited by the alien.
36:01
SPEAKER_12: Right.
36:01
SPEAKER_12: He looks just like him.
36:03
SPEAKER_12: Sugar.
36:04
SPEAKER_12: Sugar.
36:08
SPEAKER_12: I would I was watching him, I wasn't watching the game.

43:11
SPEAKER_12: First thing I want to talk about is um Vinny Vincent.
43:14
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, what the frick is up with this, man?
43:17
SPEAKER_12: So if if you don't know who Vinny Vincent is, um when KISS um it was when they first lost the makeup, right?
43:25
SPEAKER_12: They got out of the makeup, or was he in makeup first?
43:28
SPEAKER_12: He might have been in makeup first.
43:29
SPEAKER_07: I think he was in makeup first, uh, but then they switched from makeup to no makeup, so right.
43:34
SPEAKER_12: So Vinny Vincent replaced Ace Fraley for a short stint in KISS uh on guitar.
43:40
SPEAKER_12: And um it didn't last.
43:43
SPEAKER_12: I think he was there for two or three albums, um and then was either fired or left, or the I can't remember really what happened there.
43:53
SPEAKER_12: Um, but he wasn't in KISS anymore.
43:54
SPEAKER_12: He started the Vinnie Vincent invasion, which actually had Oh yeah, I remember that.
43:58
SPEAKER_12: Mark Slaughter was the one.
44:00
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, he was the uh uh lead singer of Vinnie Vincent Innovation.
44:03
SPEAKER_12: Anyway, uh and then he disappeared.
44:06
SPEAKER_12: Uh yeah, he literally just like gone.
44:09
SPEAKER_12: And uh there's might be a reason.
44:11
SPEAKER_12: Um kind of looks like your well, I don't your aunt there.
44:15
SPEAKER_12: Not your aunt, but any aunt.
44:18
SPEAKER_12: Um I almost think I don't know I don't know what's with the kabuki face paint.
44:21
SPEAKER_12: Well, I almost think that he is uh is this like a performance art thing?
44:26
SPEAKER_12: Well, no I think that was his isn't that what he was that his makeup when he was in KISS?
44:30
SPEAKER_12: I think so.
44:31
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
44:32
SPEAKER_12: Um but he is I have to read you this.
44:34
SPEAKER_12: This is on Ultimate Classic Rock.
44:36
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, this is all over the news, and it's just kind of mind-blowing.
44:39
SPEAKER_12: Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has announced a new single ta titled Ride the Serpent.
44:45
SPEAKER_12: It marks his first new original material in over 20 years, and it comes with a high price tag.
44:50
SPEAKER_12: Vincent revealed that Ride the Serpent will only be available on CD.
44:56
SPEAKER_12: With a total 1,000 pressings made.
44:59

45:20
SPEAKER_12: The release is part of the guitarist's new Vinny Vincent Invasion Master Series.
45:26
SPEAKER_12: Uh why is he releasing music this way?
45:28
SPEAKER_12: Actually, well, let me Ride the Serpent is a nearly eight-minute intense guitar power drive featuring Vinny Vincent on guitars and bass, Robert Fleischman on vocals, and Carrie uh Kerry Jordan on drums.
45:43
SPEAKER_12: Vincent uh teased his upcoming release of material at the time.
45:46
SPEAKER_12: You noted the unique way he planned to sell the songs was designed to protect against premature pirating.
45:52
SPEAKER_12: I understand the moaning, the whining about the price, but you must also understand that my situation is as such that my music is so desired that it will be targeted and taken from me immediately, which I cannot and will not allow.
46:05
SPEAKER_12: I wish it was not this way, but I'm honored that it is.
46:08
SPEAKER_12: It's a double-edged sword for me, but I sincerely hope that when you think it through, you will understand the dilemma I face.
46:16
SPEAKER_08: Wrong.
46:17
SPEAKER_07: Wrong.
46:19
unknown: Right?
46:20
SPEAKER_07: There's been wrong people before.
46:22
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
46:23
SPEAKER_07: This is this is way beyond them.
46:25
SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
46:26
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
46:27
SPEAKER_07: This is just absolute insanity.
46:31
SPEAKER_07: Um because honestly, until I saw this story, I totally forgot about Vinny Vincent.
46:38
SPEAKER_07: Right.
46:38
SPEAKER_07: Exactly.
46:40
SPEAKER_12: And he he came out of hiding.
46:41
SPEAKER_12: Nobody I know.
46:42
SPEAKER_12: This is the Vinny Vincent.
46:44
SPEAKER_12: He came out of hiding a couple years ago and was planning a tour and then canceled the tour.
46:49
SPEAKER_12: Right.
46:50
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I remember that.
46:51
SPEAKER_12: I think that maybe that may be the last time we ever talked about it.
46:53
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I think so.
46:54
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
46:54
SPEAKER_12: Uh and now he's selling one song for$200.
46:57
SPEAKER_12: That's just stupid.
46:58
SPEAKER_12: Um at$25 in shipping?
47:01
SPEAKER_07: Yes.
47:01
SPEAKER_07: What's he express shipping it to everybody?
47:03
SPEAKER_07: Right.
47:04
SPEAKER_07: Um I mean, it's good for the post office, I suppose, but come on.
47:08
SPEAKER_12: I I understand.
47:09
SPEAKER_12: You know, if you think this is a valid um way to combat uh the way the music industry is today, like streaming and and and things like that.
47:23
SPEAKER_12: This is not the way to do it.
47:24
SPEAKER_12: Well, not only that, the the w not the way to do it is is not to say everybody wants my music.
47:30
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, that that's that's so arrogant.
47:32
SPEAKER_12: Right.
47:33
SPEAKER_12: It's like everybody wants there's a so people are gonna pirate it, you know, because it's really they really want it.
47:39
SPEAKER_12: Who?
47:40
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, exactly.
47:41
SPEAKER_07: Who are these people?
47:42
SPEAKER_07: Exactly.
47:42
SPEAKER_07: Do they live in your house?
47:43
SPEAKER_07: I'm sure he has fans.
47:45
SPEAKER_07: Are they in the room with you right now?
47:47
SPEAKER_14: Is there a gun to your head?
47:50
SPEAKER_12: I I I really do think he has fans.
47:53
SPEAKER_12: There's no question.
47:54
SPEAKER_07: Oh, I don't doubt that, but I don't think they're like, you know, oh, as soon as he gets that song on, I'm gonna download it and you know, on my napster.
48:03
SPEAKER_07: Do you think he will sell any?
48:05
SPEAKER_07: He probably will.
48:06
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, probably.
48:07
SPEAKER_07: I don't I don't know.
48:08
SPEAKER_07: I don't know who.
48:09
SPEAKER_07: It's people with more money than brains, obviously.
48:11
SPEAKER_07: Oh, for sure.
48:12
SPEAKER_07: But I guess I mean, you know, what's that saying?
48:16
SPEAKER_07: A fool and his money are soon parted.
48:18
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
48:18
SPEAKER_07: There you go.
48:19
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
48:20
SPEAKER_12: Uh along those along those same lines.
48:23
SPEAKER_07: I mean, I got an autographed CD from uh uh uh uh Nita Strauss.
48:28
SPEAKER_07: Right it was 30 bucks, right?
48:32
SPEAKER_07: That was with shipping, you know, and she's way more popular than Vinnie Vincent.
48:38
SPEAKER_12: So I don't know, man.
48:40
SPEAKER_12: And and and so so Vinny Vincent, attached attached to Kiss, right, for a short time.
48:47
SPEAKER_12: Right.
48:47
SPEAKER_12: Peter Chris, the original Kiss Drummer.
48:50
SPEAKER_12: Right.
48:51
SPEAKER_12: Peter Chris really doesn't want you to buy his new album digitally.
48:56
SPEAKER_12: The former Kiss Drummer has put his brand new self-titled solo album for sale at industry standard prices for vinyl,$33, and compact disc$15, but has set the download price at a staggering$1,000 on his Bandcamp page.
49:17
SPEAKER_12: What is wrong with these people?
49:20
SPEAKER_12: Uh okay, there's an update.
49:21
SPEAKER_12: Several hours after this article was published, Chris posted the following message to his Facebook page.
49:25
SPEAKER_12: Hello, Kiss Army and Army National Guard.
49:28
SPEAKER_12: Army National Guard! Bandcamp had become an issue, and I had requested Flatiron Recordings to disable the account associated with my records before the release day of my new record on December 19th.
49:39
SPEAKER_12: I am in I am not in control of the Bandcamp account.
49:41
SPEAKER_12: Flatiron record or recordings is.
49:44
SPEAKER_12: I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and for the misinformation and implication that I am charging$1,000 for a download of my new record.
49:51
SPEAKER_12: I am not.
49:52
SPEAKER_12: Please contact Flatiron Recordings with any purchase requests.
49:55
SPEAKER_12: Please find another outlet to purchase my new Peter Chris Rock record.

SPEAKER_12: There is a link tree on my website, PeterChris.net, of outlets to purchase my new record.
50:03
SPEAKER_12: Just click the link for my record and it will show you the link tree.
50:06

SPEAKER_12: So he is not selling it.
50:12
SPEAKER_07: Okay, well that that's that's better.
50:14
SPEAKER_07: That's better.
50:15
SPEAKER_07: Um just like geez of girl, thousand dollars.
50:18
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
50:19
SPEAKER_12: Oh my freaking word.
50:21
SPEAKER_12: I I don't know if that's the right way to combat streaming.
50:26
SPEAKER_12: It's not, man.
50:27
SPEAKER_07: Because everybody's gonna be like, well, I can stream it for even if you bought it on iTunes, it'd be ten bucks.
50:32
SPEAKER_07: Right.
50:33
SPEAKER_07: You know what I mean?
50:33
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
50:34
SPEAKER_07: I mean, just come on, man.
50:36
SPEAKER_07: I mean, yeah, it's bad.
50:38
SPEAKER_07: I mean, I know I know everybody wants, you know, some payment for their music because you know, you're not gonna get it from Spotify.
50:44
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
50:45
SPEAKER_07: That's for dang sure.
50:47
SPEAKER_12: I saw another uh interview today with a uh singer-songwriter, a British singer-songwriter, who was saying that uh because we were we were saying that I think a couple weeks ago, that uh touring is the only way to that people make money now.
51:02
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
51:03
SPEAKER_12: Uh and this artist was like I'm going under.
51:08
SPEAKER_12: It's costing me fifty to tour to do a US tour, it cost me personally fifty thousand dollars.
51:14
SPEAKER_12: Oh, I believe it.
51:15
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
51:15
SPEAKER_12: Uh out of pocket.
51:17
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
51:17
SPEAKER_12: You know, because uh you have to pay for these things in advance, and if it you don't recoup it, then uh it costs me money.
51:24
SPEAKER_12: Right.
51:24
SPEAKER_12: Uh and the tour of um the UK, she loses ten thousand dollars.
51:30
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, which is as bad.
51:31
SPEAKER_12: Right, but uh you know, of her own money.
51:33
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you know, and so it's unsustainable.
51:36
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you know, uh touring for for an artist of her level.
51:40
SPEAKER_12: Now she's she's well known.
51:41
SPEAKER_12: Her name is Kate Nash.
51:42
SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah, she's well known.
51:44
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
51:44
SPEAKER_12: Uh she's not a top-tier artist by the same thing.
51:47
SPEAKER_07: Well, she's no Taylor Swift, right?
51:49
SPEAKER_07: That's for sure, yeah.
51:49
SPEAKER_12: She says, you know, the the Taylor Swifts and the people that are these big rec record companies, you know, they're they're raking in millions of dollars and making it very difficult for the little guy to uh m you make a living.
52:02
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
52:03
SPEAKER_12: Um so I just th I just I don't know what the answer is.
52:07
SPEAKER_12: I really don't.
52:08
SPEAKER_07: I don't I don't think there is one, man.
52:10
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
52:10
SPEAKER_12: I mean, you can't make any money.
52:12
SPEAKER_07: You still gotta I mean you still gotta grind.
52:14
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
52:15
SPEAKER_12: And that's all you can do.
52:17
SPEAKER_12: And I think it's a matter of so i I got to thinking about this.
52:20
SPEAKER_12: You know how I I uh uh I said I want to step back a little bit from performing, you and I.
52:26
SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
52:26
SPEAKER_12: Uh or slow down, I should say.
52:28
SPEAKER_12: Um and I st I still kind of want to do that, but I think we should we should uh keep doing it because um I like the money.
52:39
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I was about to say there's not a lot of it, but I like I like the money.
52:42
SPEAKER_12: It's it helps.
52:42
SPEAKER_12: It sure is.
52:43
SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
52:44
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, yeah.
52:45
SPEAKER_12: And uh um I think if I want to incorporate more of our original stuff.
52:49
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
52:50
SPEAKER_12: Uh to make it more fun for us.
52:51
SPEAKER_12: Might as well.
52:52
SPEAKER_12: You know.
52:52
SPEAKER_07: I mean they're not listening anyway.
52:54
SPEAKER_07: Right, exactly.
52:54
SPEAKER_07: Why not?
52:55
SPEAKER_12: That's the thing.
52:56
SPEAKER_12: But if these artists like a Kate Nash went and uh performed like a stripped down tour, like a couple of musicians and her and sold their merch there, um, they might m make a profit.
53:13
SPEAKER_12: Maybe.
53:13
SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
53:14
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
53:14
SPEAKER_07: Um Yeah, you can't do the big rock and roll tour anymore because it just isn't worth it.
53:19
SPEAKER_07: Right.
53:26
SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
53:26
SPEAKER_12: Take note of of after COVID uh bands, like bar bands disappeared.
53:32
SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah.
53:33
SPEAKER_12: There was no bar bars, were not hiring bands.
53:35
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
53:35
SPEAKER_12: And uh here we are f like five years later, and they're starting to again, but most of it is not bands.
53:44
SPEAKER_12: They're they're mostly like us, like acoustic acts, yeah, or DJs, or you know, they're they're still getting people out, but they're not paying for big bands anymore.
53:56
SPEAKER_12: No.
53:57
SPEAKER_12: You know, because they can't afford it.
53:58
SPEAKER_07: Well, uh that's what happened to Marionette.
54:01
SPEAKER_07: They were gonna play at the time out.
54:03
SPEAKER_12: Right.
54:03
SPEAKER_12: And they weren't gonna play.
54:04
SPEAKER_07: They lowballed them.
54:05
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
54:06
SPEAKER_07: So they're like, well, we're gonna go somewhere else.
54:08
SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
54:08
SPEAKER_07: And charge a cover.
54:09
SPEAKER_12: Right.
54:10
SPEAKER_07: I don't know how well that worked out either.
54:12
SPEAKER_07: I didn't think to ask John when I saw him, but uh but still, I mean it's it's that's that's but I mean, yep, up here it's even worse because there are so few pla there were so few places to play before.
54:23
SPEAKER_07: Before, yeah.
54:24
SPEAKER_07: Now there's even less.
54:25

59:16
SPEAKER_07: I've uh I I I'm a collector of flags.
59:20

59:33
SPEAKER_07: So I got a Hawaiian flag, and I got I got a grand union flag.
59:38
SPEAKER_07: And if you know what a grand union flag is, it's the flag that we had before the stars and stripes of the Betrie Betri Betty Betsy Ross flag.
59:47
SPEAKER_07: I have one of those.
59:48
SPEAKER_07: It's got the uh red and white stripes, but it's got the Union Jack in the corner instead of the flag.
59:53

SPEAKER_12: I don't know what it is about this song that gets me.
1:07:28
SPEAKER_12: Um, but I love it.
1:07:30
SPEAKER_12: And it's not necessarily one of their bigger hits.
1:07:32
SPEAKER_12: It was a hit.
1:07:33
SPEAKER_12: Right.
1:07:33
SPEAKER_12: But it wasn't one of their bigger ones.

1:07:39
SPEAKER_02: Um, I think that's a good idea.
1:08:25

1:08:34
SPEAKER_12: But uh I do love this version.
1:08:42
SPEAKER_12: And I think actually, I think I may have played this for you before.

SPEAKER_12: Um this is David Wilcox.
1:08:54
SPEAKER_12: Oh, yeah, yeah.
1:08:55
SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and I think I actually maybe I've played this before.
1:08:57
SPEAKER_12: I think so.
1:08:58
SPEAKER_12: And uh and I don't know if this is why I like that song so much.
1:09:02
SPEAKER_12: I don't I don't think it is, but this treatment of it was pretty unique.
1:09:06
SPEAKER_11: Yes.
1:09:18
SPEAKER_14: Maybe it's that all night long.
1:09:24
SPEAKER_12: Again, I'm still stalling.
