- 0:32SPEAKER_01: Going up a request to Ben Benjamin.
- 0:35SPEAKER_01: He wanted to hear that one for whatever reason.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: And before that, from Marcos, he says...
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: Evening, Mr. Neely, could you play the song Cold Seed from Tiamat?
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: Glad you're back hosting the show.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: No Neely, no CMS, man.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: You were here last week.

- 1:17SPEAKER_01: the North Carolina Metal God.
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: Okay.

- 1:21SPEAKER_01: Do you ever notice that?
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 1:23SPEAKER_01: Everybody's like a metal Tim and a metal God and a metal Mike and a metal.
- 1:29SPEAKER_01: We're all metal.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: Everything's metal.
- 1:31SPEAKER_01: Toughest Nails.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we heard some Yngwie J.
- 1:35SPEAKER_01: Malmsteen with Damnation featuring our good friend Tim Ripper Owens on Vocal.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:41SPEAKER_01: And that one goes out by request to Miles Mullally, also known as The Wretch.
- 1:49SPEAKER_01: Everybody's got a nickname, too.
- 1:51SPEAKER_01: Except me and you.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:53SPEAKER_01: Everybody's got a...
- 1:54SPEAKER_01: I'm The Wretch.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: I'm PR.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: I'm the Metal God.
- 1:58SPEAKER_01: I'm...
- 1:59SPEAKER_01: They're cooler than us.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 2:02SPEAKER_01: It says, how do you get a nickname?
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: That's the whole thing.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: How do you get a moniker like that?
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Give it to yourself.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: I guess.
- 2:10SPEAKER_00: I'm sure it's just some stupid YouTube thing or something.
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm the wretch 361.
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: So how do you get people to address you as such?
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: You don't.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: In real life, it's just Mike.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: Nobody's calling.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: Hey, Metal Mike, what's up?
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, I did name.
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: I was kind of like Trump in a way by naming all my little co-hosts.
- 2:36SPEAKER_01: People called them that.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:38SPEAKER_01: After I,
- 2:39SPEAKER_01: after I kind of named them all,
- 2:41SPEAKER_01: everybody started just referring them, referring to them as that.
- 2:44SPEAKER_01: Long-haired Mike, little Mike.
- 2:46SPEAKER_01: Long-haired Mike, little Mike, Papa Chuck Miden.
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: You know, Rock and Randy.
- 2:51SPEAKER_01: Rock and Randy.
- 2:52SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:52SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: Me and you are the only two that never, I, I, I think I've told this story before.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I told it on the show or not, but when I first went to MMS to do the metal show.
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:03SPEAKER_01: They wanted you to be the love sponge or some shit or the gatekeeper.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the gatekeeper.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: There was the warlock and the gatekeeper, and I said, no, I'm not going to be the gatekeeper.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: I was like, I'm Chris Aiken.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: That's who I am.
- 3:18SPEAKER_00: The gatekeeper.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: The gatekeeper.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: No.
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: Sounds too much like the gatekeeper.
- 3:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:25SPEAKER_01: You're standing there with your dangling keys and your light to lead the way,
- 3:29SPEAKER_01: kind of like the Led Zeppelin.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: Come with me to the hallowed halls of the metal show.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: Get out of here.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: Then you hear the creaking door.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 3:41SPEAKER_01: Kind of like the CBS, what was that?
- 3:44SPEAKER_01: Mystery Theater.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: Is he having a stroke over there?
- 3:47SPEAKER_01: What's happening over there?
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: He's over there just laughing.
- 3:50SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, the whole show, you and I will be just sitting here having our conversation.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: He's just over there just talking and talking and talking.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: And it's like, what?
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: I don't even know what he's saying over there.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: Probably better off.
- 4:05SPEAKER_01: I would just like to hook a mic to him and just hear him just ramble.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: If you could record him without him being on the air, that'd be perfect.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 4:13SPEAKER_01: Just rambling and rambling.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: We put that out as a side episode.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: Just rambling.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: Ramble on.
- 4:21SPEAKER_01: But yeah, during the break there, he made me do a mudslide shot with him.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 4:28SPEAKER_01: So he's buying all the... No.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: It was just Kahlua and Bailey's and probably just a drop of vodka.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: It was...
- 4:40SPEAKER_01: It was that.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 4:42SPEAKER_01: It's not exactly going to, it's not buzz worthy.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: Tell him to stop talking.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: We can't hear him.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: All we hear is.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: It's all we hear.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: See?
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: In fact, they're just talking and talking.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: Just rambling on.
- 4:59SPEAKER_01: Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: Ramble on.
- 5:02SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 5:03SPEAKER_01: So we are into the sponsored segment of the CMS.
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: Your, your dollars will go.
- 5:08SPEAKER_01: Now he's going to show me newspaper.
- 5:11SPEAKER_01: Sit down.
- 5:15SPEAKER_01: Sit down.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: Sit down.
- 5:19SPEAKER_01: This guy reads newspapers.
- 5:23SPEAKER_01: Tell him to go sit down.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: My whole couch is full of this.
- 5:29SPEAKER_01: He's got stacks.
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: He goes to the Speedway by his hotel and buys every newspaper on the rack and goes
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: through it like an old lady.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: Well, tell him to be like an old lady and sit down and shut up.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: He's up to date.
- 5:47SPEAKER_01: Good.
- 5:47SPEAKER_01: Good for him.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: Most people get their news off the interwebs.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Most people don't read the fake news anymore.
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: So anyway.
- 5:58SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 5:59SPEAKER_01: So we're into the sponsored segment of the show and your dollars help,
- 6:03SPEAKER_01: uh, things like developing a new app.
- 6:05SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 6:06SPEAKER_01: Which you will get in a couple of weeks, according to the, uh, the, the tech maestro over there.
- 6:12SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: A couple of weeks.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: Maybe this week.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: It might be.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: It really just depends on my brother's schedule.
- 6:17SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: My mom's having some surgery on Monday.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: So I'm not sure.
- 6:22SPEAKER_01: They're in Mexico.
- 6:23SPEAKER_01: I get it.
- 6:24SPEAKER_01: Go away.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: Sit down, dickhead.
- 6:31SPEAKER_01: He's doing his own show.
- 6:33SPEAKER_01: It's like having a wombat just loose in the house.
- 6:38SPEAKER_01: You know, you got to chase it down with a brain swatting at it.
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: Get out of here.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: Beat it.
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 6:48SPEAKER_01: Anyway.
- 6:49SPEAKER_01: So, so anyway,
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: if you join our locals page,
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: your $5 a month helps support the show and developing new apps and new content
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: and better video and all kinds of things like that.
- 7:03SPEAKER_01: So it all goes back into producing the show is what I'm trying to say here.
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: And we did some, some testing on the new video as well.
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: And that worked pretty well.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: So that's coming too.
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 7:14SPEAKER_01: So we're trying to keep it,
- 7:16SPEAKER_01: keep it up and keep it current and keep it better than anybody else out there.
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: Trying hard.
- 7:21SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: Well, what do you got for us in the paid segment?
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: Well,
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: I I'm changing directions a little bit because you played some Pink Floyd there for,
- 7:31SPEAKER_00: I think Ben Benjamin.
- 7:33SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: Did you know that body count just released a cover
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: of comfortably numb featuring David Gilmore on guitar?
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think David Gilmour has a new album coming out or it's out already.
- 7:49SPEAKER_01: And, you know, obviously it's a big disappointment.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: It's kind of boring.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:54SPEAKER_01: It's like the river.
- 7:55SPEAKER_01: Well, that was
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: the Pink Floyd one, wasn't it?
- 7:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
- 7:59SPEAKER_01: But that was terrible, too.
- 8:01SPEAKER_01: That was just David Gilmour.
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: Well, this is Body Count on their new record coming with Comfortably Numb.
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: I ain't gonna lie.
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: I like body count.
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: I do not get this.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: Maybe you will.
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: I like body count.
- 8:19SPEAKER_00: I like why they're covering it.
- 8:21SPEAKER_00: I don't get why they're,
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: I get why they're covering it because David
- 8:24SPEAKER_01: Gilmore said he would do it.
- 8:26SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 8:26SPEAKER_01: But what I mean is why, why did body count choose to do a cover?
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: Because David Gilmore said he would do it.
- 8:34SPEAKER_00: No other reason.
- 8:34SPEAKER_00: I'm sure somebody said,
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: I'm sure somebody said, Hey, could we get somebody really big on our album?
- 8:40SPEAKER_00: And they threw some ideas and.
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: David Gilmour was one that responded and said, yeah, I'll do it.
- 8:47SPEAKER_01: Well, was it a way to cross promote his new album then?
- 8:51SPEAKER_01: I don't see any cross promotion on the video.
- 8:53SPEAKER_01: No, but what I'm saying is putting David Gilmour's name out there with body count
- 8:59SPEAKER_01: and go,
- 8:59SPEAKER_01: oh, by the way, David Gilmour also has a new record out, which is blah, blah, blah.
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: You follow what I'm saying?
- 9:06SPEAKER_00: I follow what you're saying and they're not doing any of that.
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: No.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 9:10SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you, I'm reading directly from the video right now.
- 9:13SPEAKER_00: This is Ice-T's quote about the song.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: For me, Comfortably Numb is an introspective song.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: It's me acknowledging that I'm older now.
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: I'm telling the younger generation, you've got two choices.
- 9:24SPEAKER_00: You can keep the fire burning or you can give up.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: It's me trying to make sense of what's happening,
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: but also pointing out that we're all in a place where we don't have to face reality.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: Are we all in a place?
- 9:37SPEAKER_00: Are we all there?
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: All of us?
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: We've got flat screen TVs and popcorn,
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: and we can just sit back and watch the chaos of the world like it's a TV show.
- 9:48SPEAKER_01: Like law and order SVU.
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: But we've had TV for decades upon decades.
- 9:53SPEAKER_01: It's different now.
- 9:54SPEAKER_01: We've had popcorn forever.
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: Different now.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: because even when you and I were younger lads,
- 10:01SPEAKER_01: our parents would always warn us against,
- 10:04SPEAKER_01: you're just not going to sit there and watch TV all day.
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: Get outside.
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: It's different now.
- 10:09SPEAKER_01: Oh, is it different?
- 10:10SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 10:10SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: Were you comfortably numb then?
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: I guess so.
- 10:14SPEAKER_00: I guess I am now because I don't do nothing but watch TV.
- 10:17SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 10:17SPEAKER_01: So.
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: So that's his basic statement.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 10:22SPEAKER_01: I don't get the statement because who is he speaking for?
- 10:27SPEAKER_01: Just himself or is he- Himself,
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: I guess.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: It's just AST talking about the song.
- 10:31SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: But I don't get why do it and I don't like it.
- 10:37SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 10:37SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I'd rather hear them do another regular song instead of this.
- 10:42SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: But anyway, so let me put this up, share the screen.
- 10:49SPEAKER_01: To do body count.
- 10:51SPEAKER_01: Now, does body count have a new record out or they just got this?
- 10:54SPEAKER_01: Coming.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: New coming.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: Coming out on JFK Day, November 22nd.
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: So here it is.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: It's body count with David Gilmore, Comfortably Numb.

- 12:15SPEAKER_02: When will I leave here?
- 12:17SPEAKER_02: We know death is always near.
- 12:19SPEAKER_02: I try to understand, but answers don't come easily.
- 12:23SPEAKER_02: Friends always deceiving me.
- 12:25SPEAKER_02: Is this what life's supposed to be?
- 12:27SPEAKER_02: Human animals, we roam the earth in search of blood.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: Hope for humanity?
- 12:32SPEAKER_02: I don't think there ever was.
- 12:34SPEAKER_02: We're in perpetual war, that's the only law.
- 12:38SPEAKER_02: Can I change it?
- 12:39SPEAKER_02: I doubt it, so I write songs about it.
- 12:42SPEAKER_02: I was young once, but now I've grown old.
- 12:46SPEAKER_02: Right in front of your eyes, you see my life unfold.
- 12:50SPEAKER_02: I had no choices, I became the underdog's voice.
- 12:53SPEAKER_02: A young black kid, look what the fuck I did.
- 12:58SPEAKER_02: When I'm gone, there'll be someone to carry on.
- 13:01SPEAKER_02: We can give and give up, or we can stay strong.
- 13:05SPEAKER_02: How accepting of the bullshit we've all become.
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: This whole world is comfortably numb.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah, boo.
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: I do not like it at all.
- 13:18SPEAKER_01: He does the spoken word semi-rap,
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: you know, different.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: Well, it's different for sure.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not good.
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: David Gilmore is just weedly, weedly, weedling all over this.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, senselessly.
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: It doesn't fit.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: It's not...
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: It's not really like, it's not like he sat down with these guys.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: No, no.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: He's just, he's just weedly, weedly, weedly all over the song.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: It's just like, all right, great.
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: Wonderful.
- 13:53SPEAKER_00: I don't know what else to make of this one.
- 13:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 13:55SPEAKER_00: Did, did he change some of the lyrics?
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think he did.
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: I'm sure he did.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: I was just like, all right.
- 14:01SPEAKER_01: He, so he, he basically made it to fit his message is what he did.
- 14:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course.
- 14:06SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 14:07SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 14:07SPEAKER_01: Fair enough.
- 14:08SPEAKER_01: Comfortably tea.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Apparently.
- 14:10SPEAKER_01: So is he still on, is he still on that, that TV show?
- 14:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 14:17SPEAKER_00: Why would he cut that?
- 14:18SPEAKER_00: He probably makes 200 grand an episode.
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: Well, I didn't even know if that was still on.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: That show's never ending.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: Again, I don't follow it.
- 14:25SPEAKER_01: So I was just asking the question.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: I know you're a fan.
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that show will probably end at the 30-year mark.
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: How long has that
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: been on?
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: I think they're in season 27.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: Which is crazy all by itself that a show would do 27 years.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 14:43SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it's still on.
- 14:47SPEAKER_00: The new episode started last week, and yes, my dumb ass, I keep saying I'm quitting that show.
- 14:52SPEAKER_00: I'm right there watching it like an idiot.
- 14:54SPEAKER_01: Did they tone down the woke shit?
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: They have.
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: They have actually toned down.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: They're back to just fucking chicks getting raped and solving mysteries.
- 15:04SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: Which I'm good with is whenever they go into their personal lives and
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: that fucking stupid cocksucking kid, Noah,
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: and I say cocksucking kid,
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: because even though he's 80, did admit that he's bisexual.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: So I imagine he's cocksucking.
- 15:17SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, how else would he know he's bisexual unless he tried it?
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 15:22SPEAKER_00: Of course.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: You know, so,
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: but yeah,
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: they've,
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: they've gotten rid of that, at least for now, two episodes in no kids, just crime.
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: And that's all I want.
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: So we'll see how long that lasts.
- 15:35SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 15:36SPEAKER_01: Well, let's, let's get into the, to the course here.
- 15:39SPEAKER_01: Are they gonna, how's he gonna handle the course?
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: I'll wait till you hear.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: It's great.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: Wonderful.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 16:15SPEAKER_02: You do realize that this purveyor of knowledge was once a pimp.
- 16:44SPEAKER_01: I was just going to make that comment.
- 16:48SPEAKER_01: Since when did he become a humanitarian guy?
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: When did he become concerned about the problems of the world
- 16:54SPEAKER_01: and all this other stuff when all he was worried about was hating cops and pimps
- 16:58SPEAKER_01: and hoes and making coin and dropping plates on your ass and all kinds of shit like
- 17:05SPEAKER_01: that?
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: I guess once he put his pimp hand in his pocket, then he decided to save the world.
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: Now all of a sudden he's like a good guy.
- 17:12SPEAKER_01: He's like a purveyor of humanitarian causes.
- 17:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah, apparently.
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: Same guy that gave us cop killer.
- 17:23SPEAKER_01: Right, that's what I'm saying.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: Hating cops, all that.
- 17:27SPEAKER_01: Keeping his pimp hands strong.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
- 17:30SPEAKER_00: And again, I got no problem as a As a rapper, Ice-T is one of the OGs.
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: I mean, he is one of the very original gangster rappers.
- 17:38SPEAKER_01: When I went to see Sam Kinison for the last time,
- 17:41SPEAKER_01: when he performed at the Wiltern Theater, Ice-T was in the audience.
- 17:44SPEAKER_01: He was like four or five rows ahead of me,
- 17:48SPEAKER_01: and Sam Kinison called him out, and he stood up and waved to the crowd and stuff.
- 17:54SPEAKER_01: Hey, everybody, here I am.
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my man, Ice-T.
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: Stood up with his big fur coat on, big fur hat.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: What up?
- 18:05SPEAKER_00: What up my niggas?
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:08SPEAKER_01: That's back when he was still a rapper.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: No, now he's a metal guy.
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: And I, and again, I've seen him a bunch of times.
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: He's really, he's not for everybody because he does mix in the rap with it, but I love it.
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: I'm, I'm bringing this as awful as somebody that actually very much enjoys body count.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: I'm not trying to say that he's awful.
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to say this song,
- 18:32SPEAKER_00: considering it's somebody that I like,
- 18:33SPEAKER_00: and I obviously am a huge David Gilmour fan as well.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: It's like, why, what is the point of this?
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: He rewrote all the words.
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: I can tell you that.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: Wonderful.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: Will you learn any of them?
- 18:46SPEAKER_00: No, me either.
- 18:47SPEAKER_01: It's just like, okay.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: It's not real good, which is kind of stunning.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: Color me stupid.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
- 19:00SPEAKER_00: But David Gilmore doesn't lend his talent to very many.
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: Never has.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: Can you think of other times that he's appeared
- 19:09SPEAKER_01: on shit?
- 19:10SPEAKER_01: Unless, again,
- 19:11SPEAKER_01: there's a synergy there,
- 19:13SPEAKER_01: some kind of mutual benefit, some kind of mutual benefit in the collaboration.
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: Or he's bored.
- 19:20SPEAKER_00: That could be it, too, because he ain't doing nothing.
- 19:22SPEAKER_01: Or again, it's a way of going, look at me, I'm diverse.
- 19:28SPEAKER_01: I'm working with a black man.
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: Could be.
- 19:31SPEAKER_00: Does he need to do that though?
- 19:34SPEAKER_01: Again, none of these guys need to do anything,
- 19:37SPEAKER_01: but I guess if you're a performer,
- 19:41SPEAKER_01: you've got to feel as if you've got to do something to contribute.
- 19:46SPEAKER_01: I don't know if any of these...
- 19:48SPEAKER_01: Performers,
- 19:48SPEAKER_01: whether you're a music artist or an actor or whatever,
- 19:53SPEAKER_01: you just want to give up and not do that anymore.
- 19:55SPEAKER_01: Unless, of course, you're like Joe Pesci or Jack Nicholson or something.
- 20:00SPEAKER_01: When they decide enough's enough, I don't really care to act anymore or perform.
- 20:06SPEAKER_01: But you ever notice these guys, especially musicians, they perform until the day they die.
- 20:11SPEAKER_00: They don't know what else to do.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they got to put their creative energy out there.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: Well, at least those guys all can still bring it, like Frankie Valli that we showed a couple.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: Or Gordon Lightfoot when we brought that to the table a couple months ago or
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: a year ago or whatever that was.
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: That was the saddest.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: Wasn't that the saddest?
- 20:34SPEAKER_01: That was, as we always say, that was a tough listen.
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: Jesus, Ichabod Crane up there singing Carefree Highway was just brutal.
- 20:43SPEAKER_00: Cause he was such a big, strong voice.
- 20:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: He, he definitely had a, had a good delivery, but man, at the end he was just so thin.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: He was like, you could
- 21:02SPEAKER_01: see the dust coming out of his, out of his lungs.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: Shit.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: You can see, yeah.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: Through his skin.
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: Probably.
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: You could probably,
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: if he opened his shirt,
- 21:08SPEAKER_00: you would have seen it traveling up because he's all so frail and thin bad.
- 21:13SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 21:16SPEAKER_00: Do you want more of this body counter?
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: I've got enough.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: I had enough.
- 21:20SPEAKER_00: That's as much as all right.
- 21:22SPEAKER_00: Well, somebody's calling.
- 21:22SPEAKER_00: That's fine.
- 21:23SPEAKER_00: If you're, that's why I put it out there.
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: I did not realize that he put himself out there with a lot of different artists.
- 21:30SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: Look at Skippy, Skippy on top of it.
- 21:33SPEAKER_00: I guess.
- 21:34SPEAKER_00: Well, Brian Ferry in Berlin, I know nothing about.
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: I'll admit that.
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: And Paul Rogers, I don't remember him playing with, but okay.
- 21:41SPEAKER_00: Too many others to name.
- 21:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:43SPEAKER_00: I don't know any of those guys either.
- 21:44SPEAKER_00: So that must be a new, new wave band.
- 21:47SPEAKER_00: That's a new band.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: Kate Bush.
- 21:50SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 21:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: Another one I would never listen to ever.
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: So, all right.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: Well, that's body count.
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: They're out there.
- 21:56SPEAKER_00: I'm with David.
- 21:59SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 21:59SPEAKER_00: I have no idea, but, um, They are out there.
- 22:04SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 22:05SPEAKER_00: Um, do you want to do a happy story?
- 22:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's, let's, let's have some uplifting, uh, stories here.
- 22:13SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: Well, here's a happy little one for you.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: Happy little, a happy little ditty.
- 22:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: This one is, this'll make you happy.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: Um, but, but, but, but where is it at here?
- 22:24SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: Former Mr. Bungle member found guilty of first degree murder.
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we, we, uh, we had,
- 22:34SPEAKER_01: I think we had covered this story when he got arrested or he was under investigated,
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: but, uh, so he's guilty, huh?
- 22:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's done.
- 22:41SPEAKER_01: Uh,
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: former Mr. Bungle member, Theobald, what kind of name is that?
- 22:49SPEAKER_00: Theobald.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: Mother, take the mother's, um, Swedish.
- 22:55SPEAKER_01: I don't know, but that is a
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: Swedish name.
- 22:58SPEAKER_01: Maybe, maybe that's a, he, it's just named after his appearance.
- 23:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: He's Theobald.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: Theobald Theo Brooks Lang yell is facing life in prison after being found guilty
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: of first degree murder on Friday, October 11th.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: Wow.
- 23:19SPEAKER_00: He strangled her.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: The 55 year old musician was accused of killing his girlfriend,
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: 61 year old Alice, Alex, something Herman inside her home in Capitola, California.
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: Uh, one day it only took the jury one day.
- 23:36SPEAKER_00: So the, uh, the evidence must've been pretty overwhelming.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: It must've damn near had video of him doing it or something.
- 23:43SPEAKER_00: I'm saying, I'm going to kill you now, you know, cause one day.
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: That's the,
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: that's the jury going back in the jury room and saying,
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: okay, we can't just come back right away.
- 23:55SPEAKER_00: We got to sit here for a minute.
- 23:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:56SPEAKER_01: This certainly wasn't the OJ trial.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: No, definitely not.
- 24:01SPEAKER_00: But dude, if you're famous and he's not famous, but still he was in a famous band, right?
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: You don't want this to be the last thing that people remember of you.
- 24:15SPEAKER_00: This is forever more.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: Every time people think of Mr.
- 24:18SPEAKER_00: Bungle, now they're going to think of this guy that whacked his girlfriend.
- 24:21SPEAKER_00: They're not going to think of the weird, stupid band.
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: They're going to think of the killer band.
- 24:27SPEAKER_01: Mike Patton's going,
- 24:28SPEAKER_00: thanks a lot,
- 24:28SPEAKER_01: Dick.
- 24:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: Well, no, Mike Patton, he's probably like, oh, that'll add to the mystery.
- 24:34SPEAKER_00: And the interesting thing, this guy, they're billing him as the Mr. Bungle member.
- 24:39SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:40SPEAKER_00: This guy is not.
- 24:42SPEAKER_00: I'm a, you know, I like Mr. Bungle personally.
- 24:46SPEAKER_00: This guy was not like.
- 24:49SPEAKER_00: The drummer, the guitar player or something.
- 24:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: He was, he was like a session musician.
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: He played saxophone, clarinet, and keyboards.
- 24:57SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 24:58SPEAKER_00: So peripheral to say the, to say the least, that's funny.
- 25:05SPEAKER_00: Ben Benjamin, surprise you're dead.
- 25:11SPEAKER_00: All right, here we come with the fifth, no more tracks.
- 25:14SPEAKER_00: This murder came from out of nowhere.
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 25:18SPEAKER_00: The way he strangled her was epic.
- 25:20SPEAKER_00: We could do this all day too, right?
- 25:21SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: It was an epic end to his career.
- 25:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
- 25:27SPEAKER_00: And his life.
- 25:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:29SPEAKER_01: It's over now.
- 25:31SPEAKER_00: Once the jury came back, he just said, man, everything's ruined.
- 25:36SPEAKER_00: I can play this game too, guys.
- 25:38SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 25:42SPEAKER_01: As they're leading, as they're leading him to the death house.
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: He's drinking his last cup of sorrow.
- 25:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
- 25:52SPEAKER_00: Um, Mr. Mr.
- 25:54SPEAKER_00: Theobald, how,
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: how were you,
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: um, what were you thinking when you went to, um, strangle your girlfriend?
- 26:00SPEAKER_00: Be aggressive, be aggressive.
- 26:08SPEAKER_01: How, how fucking nuts must your girlfriend drive you if you've got to strangle her?
- 26:13SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've had some chicks in my life I just wanted to strangle,
- 26:16SPEAKER_01: but I had enough wherewithal to just walk away.
- 26:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: Again, this is the old Chris Rock line.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: I'm not saying it's good.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I understand.
- 26:29SPEAKER_01: I understand.
- 26:31SPEAKER_00: I certainly understand.
- 26:32SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: Talk about a midlife crisis.
- 26:38SPEAKER_00: Look, we care a lot about this story.
- 26:40SPEAKER_01: Right, of course.
- 26:41SPEAKER_01: We care a lot.
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: Afterwards, he was digging the grave by faith.
- 26:46SPEAKER_00: The more wrote a lot of songs that could be used in death.
- 26:49SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 26:50SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's what drove him to do it.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: You're reaching here.
- 26:58SPEAKER_00: She forgot to feed his woodpecker from Mars.
- 27:00SPEAKER_00: Stop.
- 27:01SPEAKER_00: You're reaching now.
- 27:06SPEAKER_00: Well, but yeah, dude, I wonder if he's falling to pieces, right?
- 27:13SPEAKER_01: Falking.
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: Falking.
- 27:15SPEAKER_00: Falking to pieces.
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: All right, Jerry, that's not very nice.
- 27:18SPEAKER_00: We don't know what the girl did or didn't do.
- 27:21SPEAKER_00: Whatever she did, I don't think.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: She had a coming, man.
- 27:24SPEAKER_00: I don't imagine she had choking to death coming to her.
- 27:30SPEAKER_00: Even if she was a first-class cunt,
- 27:32SPEAKER_00: I just can't imagine that she had choking to death as part of her sentence there.
- 27:44SPEAKER_00: So anyway, that's what's going on there.
- 27:45SPEAKER_00: I just thought that might bring a smile, and it did.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it did.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: Ironically, that did turn out to be a- What
- 27:54SPEAKER_01: a way to wrap up your career.
- 27:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no kidding.
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: And your life.
- 27:59SPEAKER_01: I choked my bitch to death, and now I'm going to jail
- 28:01SPEAKER_00: forever.
- 28:02SPEAKER_01: Forever.
- 28:03SPEAKER_01: Until I die.
- 28:06SPEAKER_01: That's just the worst.
- 28:07SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: This is where I'm going to spend the rest of my days on Earth, right here.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 28:15SPEAKER_00: All right, I've got this video.
- 28:17SPEAKER_00: Let's change directions a little bit.
- 28:19SPEAKER_01: Okay, again, we're going to change directions.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're going all over the place today.
- 28:23SPEAKER_01: We went from body count to Mr. Bungle to whatever you got.
- 28:27SPEAKER_01: Let's take a phone call first.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: Okay, sure.
- 28:30SPEAKER_01: Alan Kill, caller, you're on the air.
- 28:32SPEAKER_01: Is it me?
- 28:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 28:35SPEAKER_01: Alan Kill?
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: Yes, go ahead.
- 28:37SPEAKER_01: Hi.
- 28:38SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I dropped my credit card under my glass coffee table,
- 28:42SPEAKER_02: and when I picked it up, I moved up and like, I banged my head again.
- 28:46SPEAKER_02: I think I'm half retarded, hail and kill.
- 28:48SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 28:48SPEAKER_01: Bye.
- 28:50SPEAKER_01: I'll been drinking again.
- 28:56SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 28:57SPEAKER_01: Then sound, what is wrong with you?
- 29:02SPEAKER_00: Doesn't he have Aussie's phone number?
- 29:04SPEAKER_01: He and Aussie could get together and pro like I said,
- 29:08SPEAKER_01: they could, they could host a show together.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: It would just be nonstop nonsense and rambling.
- 29:16SPEAKER_00: Rambles.
- 29:17SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: Thanks for that update.
- 29:24SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 29:28SPEAKER_00: So this,
- 29:31SPEAKER_00: I don't know anything about this guy other than he seems to get a lot of views
- 29:35SPEAKER_00: on his YouTube channel.
- 29:37SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: Guy's name is Zach Adkins.
- 29:40SPEAKER_00: And, um,
- 29:42SPEAKER_00: He posted an interesting talk,
- 29:44SPEAKER_00: which we'll play some of,
- 29:45SPEAKER_00: not all of it,
- 29:46SPEAKER_00: because it's like 15 minutes long,
- 29:47SPEAKER_00: but he's basically saying,
- 29:51SPEAKER_00: and I agree with him,
- 29:52SPEAKER_00: but I'm curious what you think as somebody that's more out on the road
- 29:55SPEAKER_00: with these guys.
- 29:56SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 29:57SPEAKER_00: Now admit it.
- 29:58SPEAKER_00: He's, he's saying stop doing paid meet and greets.
- 30:04SPEAKER_00: And I know Dokken does not do.
- 30:06SPEAKER_01: No, Don said he will never do that.
- 30:09SPEAKER_00: But this guy makes some very good sense as to why,
- 30:12SPEAKER_00: not that,
- 30:13SPEAKER_00: not that we need anybody to make sense as to why,
- 30:15SPEAKER_00: but, but this guy and this guy clearly got fucked up over in the process of this.
- 30:23SPEAKER_00: Wait till you hear what he paid for this guitar.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: Holy shit.
- 30:27SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 30:28SPEAKER_00: So let's check, check out a little of this.
- 30:30SPEAKER_00: This is a Zach Adkins on YouTube talking about why stop giving your money to bands
- 30:37SPEAKER_00: for meet and greets.
- 30:38SPEAKER_02: Yo, metalheads, you ready to get your brains blown off?
- 30:42SPEAKER_02: Blizzard of Oz is now on vinyl, baby.
- 30:46SPEAKER_02: Randy Rhoades ripping faces off with those insane solos,
- 30:50SPEAKER_02: Crazy Train blasting through your speakers like a freight train from hell.
- 30:55SPEAKER_02: This ain't some lame stream, this is the real deal on wax, loud as hell and twice as evil.
- 31:02SPEAKER_02: Links at the bottom of the screen.
- 31:04SPEAKER_02: Buy the Blizzard of Oz vinyl and let it take you on a trip.
- 31:11SPEAKER_00: And we'll stop along the way if you have comments.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: So here we go.
- 31:14SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 31:14SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah.
- 31:15SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 31:15SPEAKER_01: Go ahead.
- 31:16SPEAKER_00: No, you go ahead.
- 31:17SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 31:18SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 31:18SPEAKER_03: What's going on, guys?
- 31:19SPEAKER_03: This is Zach Adkins.
- 31:20SPEAKER_03: And in this video,
- 31:21SPEAKER_03: I want to talk about why VIPs and meet and greets and stuff
- 31:25SPEAKER_03: with your favorite artists or favorite celebrities and stuff.
- 31:27SPEAKER_03: They're just a big freaking scam and you just need to avoid them completely.
- 31:31SPEAKER_03: Let's get right to it.
- 31:36SPEAKER_03: The issues that I'm having with this whole thing is that I'm noticing like a pattern
- 31:41SPEAKER_03: with what's happening in like the VIP world.
- 31:44SPEAKER_03: And not just because of my experiences,
- 31:46SPEAKER_03: but with like people commenting on what,
- 31:48SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 31:49SPEAKER_03: I posted,
- 31:49SPEAKER_03: but then also like just stories from previous ones that people have told me about
- 31:53SPEAKER_03: where I'm like, well, that's kind of weird that this happened.
- 31:56SPEAKER_03: And I'll tell you what, man, like, you know, I met Ace Freely and I have this guitar.
- 31:59SPEAKER_03: This is what he, you know, hand painted the guitar, which is cool.
- 32:03SPEAKER_00: Uh, now he hand painted the guitar.
- 32:05SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 32:08SPEAKER_00: What would you say that this guy paid for this guitar?
- 32:11SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 32:12SPEAKER_01: Is that hand-painted or did he use like a silver Sharpie?
- 32:15SPEAKER_01: That almost looks like a silver Sharpie.
- 32:17SPEAKER_00: It looks like a silver Sharpie.
- 32:18SPEAKER_00: Well, whatever it is, he did it.
- 32:19SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 32:20SPEAKER_00: And the guitar was part of the package.
- 32:22SPEAKER_00: It's not his guitar that he brought and then he drew on it or whatever.
- 32:25SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: Well, I get that.
- 32:27SPEAKER_00: So take a guess before I play further and he tells you.
- 32:30SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, Ace Frehley has been notorious about his...
- 32:36SPEAKER_01: Ripoff meet and greets.
- 32:38SPEAKER_01: I remember hearing,
- 32:39SPEAKER_01: I've been hearing about Ace Frehley meet and greets since,
- 32:44SPEAKER_01: since the nineties,
- 32:46SPEAKER_01: since the mid nineties and how disappointed people were even back then.
- 32:53SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 32:54SPEAKER_01: Now looking at this thing and this is considering who it is and that there's
- 33:00SPEAKER_01: a guitar involved and supposedly, uh, original artwork.
- 33:07SPEAKER_01: Let's say $2,000.
- 33:09SPEAKER_00: $2,000.
- 33:10SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 33:11SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 33:12SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's not, it's, you'll hear the price in a minute.
- 33:16SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to tell you what the price is at all,
- 33:18SPEAKER_00: but that's just, I will say this about this in defense of ACE.
- 33:24SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 33:26SPEAKER_00: Regardless of the price, that is a pretty cool, one of a kind takeaway.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: I would say, yeah, I mean, you know, if it's his doodling.
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I mean,
- 33:42SPEAKER_00: you're probably,
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: even if it's, you know, unless it's a stencil that he's, you know, got 50 of them.
- 33:48SPEAKER_00: I doubt that.
- 33:48SPEAKER_00: I doubt it too.
- 33:49SPEAKER_01: That he just took, you know, a half hour to an hour and just started doodling shit.
- 33:56SPEAKER_00: Dicked around with it on the bus while they were driving from X to Y.
- 34:00SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 34:01SPEAKER_00: You know, and okay.
- 34:05SPEAKER_00: So I will say on that front, regardless of the price, it's not a $500 t-shirt.
- 34:13SPEAKER_00: It's a better takeaway.
- 34:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, it's a piece of art, if you will.
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's so different than Paul Stanley selling his art for $25,000, $30,000, $40,000.
- 34:25SPEAKER_01: True.
- 34:26SPEAKER_01: Which I've seen, you know, when I was on that Kiss cruise two years ago already.
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 34:32SPEAKER_00: Which again, ridiculous, but.
- 34:34SPEAKER_00: Jim, you might be a little low.
- 34:41SPEAKER_01: Because I went to the art gallery that they had set up on the ship,
- 34:45SPEAKER_01: and some of his pieces he had priced out at like $30,000.
- 34:51SPEAKER_01: And it's just like, okay.
- 34:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 34:56SPEAKER_00: All right, so your guess is two grand.
- 34:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's my guess.
- 34:59SPEAKER_00: All right, well, let's see.
- 35:02SPEAKER_03: You know, but like this guitar and the VIP experience was $3,500.
- 35:07SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 35:09SPEAKER_03: $3,500.
- 35:10SPEAKER_01: $3,500.
- 35:12SPEAKER_01: Now, did everybody get a guitar or was this the only,
- 35:16SPEAKER_01: like they have meet and greets and they have a limited number of people,
- 35:20SPEAKER_01: like 10 people or 12 people.
- 35:24SPEAKER_01: And they have the one meet and greet.
- 35:26SPEAKER_01: Like if this was like the one that went for the 3,500 and that included the guitar,
- 35:32SPEAKER_01: like everybody did not get a guitar.
- 35:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:36SPEAKER_01: Like everybody else paid 1,500 for their meet and greet.
- 35:41SPEAKER_01: But if you wanted the only one guitar, it was 35.
- 35:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 35:48SPEAKER_00: For Hedy, I am not taking requests on finding old clips.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: Just no.
- 35:55SPEAKER_00: If you can't find it, then, then I don't know anything.
- 35:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:58SPEAKER_01: I remember that though.
- 35:59SPEAKER_00: I remember this segment, but I don't remember.
- 36:01SPEAKER_00: I have no idea if it's not on the archive now, I have no idea.
- 36:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 36:05SPEAKER_01: It's I think that's when we were talking about, uh,
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: I remember it,
- 36:09SPEAKER_01: that chick and her bulk and her blowing the whistle on all the backstage crap.
- 36:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 36:15SPEAKER_00: Do a search race freely.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: It may pop up because everything that we've done,
- 36:20SPEAKER_00: as far as I know from the last 10 years is on that thing.
- 36:23SPEAKER_00: So.
- 36:25SPEAKER_00: You know, and if not, you're fucked because I ain't going looking for it.
- 36:29SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 36:30SPEAKER_00: Of course.
- 36:30SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 36:31SPEAKER_00: Let's get back to Zach Adkins here talking about these VIP meet and greets.
- 36:35SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 36:37SPEAKER_03: And this is, I just Googled it here and this is a, an Epiphone special one or whatever.
- 36:42SPEAKER_03: It's 199 or $149 on musician's friend.
- 36:44SPEAKER_03: Like, you know, it's a, it's 150, $200 guitar that, okay.
- 36:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:47SPEAKER_03: He hand painted and that's cool.
- 36:53SPEAKER_03: But it's like $3,500 is a lot of money.
- 36:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but you paid it.
- 36:58SPEAKER_00: You paid it.
- 36:59SPEAKER_01: Nobody forced you to go.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so why did you pay it?
- 37:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I less blame Ace and more guys like this guy who chose to spend his money that way.
- 37:13SPEAKER_00: And now that he did it and he feels ripped off, now everybody should avoid him.
- 37:19SPEAKER_00: It's a weird, it's a weird psychological thing that he's in with.
- 37:24SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 37:24SPEAKER_00: He's like, well, I did it, but you guys shouldn't do it.
- 37:30SPEAKER_01: Like I'm going to save you the grief that I feel for the buyer's remorse that I feel.
- 37:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 37:37SPEAKER_00: And it's like, all right, well, wait a minute, man.
- 37:40SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can't just shit on it.
- 37:43SPEAKER_00: If you did it.
- 37:44SPEAKER_00: You can shit on it.
- 37:46SPEAKER_00: If like me and you look at $3,500 and say, there ain't nothing that these guys can do.
- 37:51SPEAKER_00: $3,500.
- 37:52SPEAKER_00: I better be having a show in my backyard.
- 37:54SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 37:55SPEAKER_00: From ACE freely.
- 37:56SPEAKER_00: Come on.
- 37:58SPEAKER_00: I mean, does he, what do you think he costs to book 10 grand?
- 38:02SPEAKER_00: Maybe, maybe a little more.
- 38:04SPEAKER_00: I don't know, but man, 35 hundy for a $150 guitar with some scribbles on it.
- 38:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 38:11SPEAKER_01: Some scrawling.
- 38:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:15SPEAKER_00: All right, well, let's hear a little more.
- 38:16SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 38:16SPEAKER_03: I think you're like, okay, well, but you're not just getting the guitar.
- 38:20SPEAKER_03: You're getting the experience of getting to meet one of your favorite musicians or whoever.
- 38:26SPEAKER_03: It doesn't have to be a musician,
- 38:27SPEAKER_03: but it's like,
- 38:28SPEAKER_03: then you get there and they treat you like you're an inconvenience a little bit.
- 38:33SPEAKER_03: It's weird.
- 38:33SPEAKER_03: It's like the weirdest phenomenon.
- 38:36SPEAKER_03: Phenomena?
- 38:36SPEAKER_03: Phenomenon.
- 38:37SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 38:38SPEAKER_03: It's like the weirdest thing I've ever heard in my life.
- 38:40SPEAKER_03: It's like, you know, it's not like Hold on.
- 38:43SPEAKER_03: Let's back way the hell up.
- 38:45SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 38:45SPEAKER_03: Let's back up.
- 38:46SPEAKER_03: First and foremost, I'm noticing this trend in a lot of, you know, I'm in the music world.
- 38:51SPEAKER_03: So, okay,
- 38:51SPEAKER_03: we're going to talk about music,
- 38:52SPEAKER_03: but there's other,
- 38:53SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 38:54SPEAKER_03: instances too,
- 38:54SPEAKER_03: where it's like, okay,
- 38:56SPEAKER_03: you go and you spend $500 or a thousand dollars on this,
- 38:59SPEAKER_03: like VIP meet and greet or a VIP, you know, experience and whatever.
- 39:05SPEAKER_03: And it's like, man, it's just a huge scam.
- 39:08SPEAKER_03: Don't even waste your money anymore.
- 39:09SPEAKER_03: Don't even give these.
- 39:10SPEAKER_03: You mean like you did?
- 39:14SPEAKER_01: Well, we talked about this before.
- 39:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 39:18SPEAKER_01: You know, that you go back and they go, hey, how you doing?
- 39:21SPEAKER_01: And they move on,
- 39:22SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 39:24SPEAKER_01: or they're sitting at a table signing their shit and they don't even look up at you
- 39:29SPEAKER_01: for even a second.
- 39:31SPEAKER_01: They have a guy standing there taking your CD cover,
- 39:35SPEAKER_01: your album cover,
- 39:35SPEAKER_01: whatever the fuck you brought with you and put it on the table
- 39:39SPEAKER_01: and they're just down there.
- 39:43SPEAKER_01: And they don't even look up and acknowledge you or shake a hand or nothing.
- 39:46SPEAKER_01: And then sometimes they'll take a group photo with everybody who came to the meet and greet.
- 39:52SPEAKER_01: So you're in this photo with all these people you don't even know.
- 39:57SPEAKER_01: They didn't get to take an individual photo or something.
- 40:00SPEAKER_01: And it's...
- 40:03SPEAKER_01: I guess this, well,
- 40:05SPEAKER_01: this ties into everything we talked about in the first segment about the,
- 40:09SPEAKER_01: you know, about being engrossed with your star and celebrity, you know?
- 40:14SPEAKER_01: Exactly right.
- 40:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:16SPEAKER_00: It's just,
- 40:17SPEAKER_00: it's just funny to me that this,
- 40:21SPEAKER_00: where this video struck me as funny is that this guy clearly was all in.
- 40:30SPEAKER_00: Until after he looked back and said, damn, this fucking guitar was a total fucking ripoff.
- 40:37SPEAKER_01: Well, what do you,
- 40:38SPEAKER_01: he was going to get like a collector's guitar that the,
- 40:41SPEAKER_01: the price of the price was going to be,
- 40:45SPEAKER_01: you know, $1,500 and the scrawling was the other 2000 that he spent.
- 40:49SPEAKER_01: That's what he's thinking.
- 40:51SPEAKER_01: Isn't that what it sounds like?
- 40:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 40:52SPEAKER_01: It's just like, well, this was just a cheap guitar.
- 40:55SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah,
- 40:56SPEAKER_01: they're not going to give you an expensive guitar and he's probably got that
- 40:59SPEAKER_01: for free.
- 41:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 41:00SPEAKER_01: Guess what?
- 41:02SPEAKER_00: You're the product.
- 41:04SPEAKER_00: He's not the product.
- 41:06SPEAKER_00: You're the product.
- 41:09SPEAKER_00: You know, he's going to spend as little as he can to fulfill whatever he's promised you.
- 41:15SPEAKER_00: They're not going to, and that's any company.
- 41:18SPEAKER_00: If you go and buy tires, you,
- 41:22SPEAKER_00: you have to pay more for the better quality,
- 41:24SPEAKER_00: but the cheapest quality is, is, you know, the cheapest price.
- 41:29SPEAKER_00: This guy's probably doing two of these guitars a city.
- 41:33SPEAKER_00: Ace.
- 41:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's
- 41:34SPEAKER_01: what I'm saying.
- 41:35SPEAKER_01: The top tier includes this one-of-a-kind guitar.
- 41:43SPEAKER_00: So he's not going to go to the local guitar center and buy two $3,000 guitars.
- 41:48SPEAKER_01: No, and like I said, Ace is probably getting them for nothing.
- 41:53SPEAKER_01: His endorsement deal or whatever, he probably can call up.
- 41:58SPEAKER_01: Gibson or Epiphone or whoever and say, Hey, can I have a couple of those cheap guitars?
- 42:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
- 42:05SPEAKER_01: Because those are the ones that if you,
- 42:07SPEAKER_01: one of those performers that break a guitar on stage and beat it into the ground,
- 42:11SPEAKER_01: they didn't pay for that.
- 42:13SPEAKER_01: They just got one of the cheap ones.
- 42:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
- 42:16SPEAKER_01: They just smash it.
- 42:18SPEAKER_00: Now you never see Paul Stanley smash his, you know, mirror guitar or anything.
- 42:23SPEAKER_00: You see him smash some little black piece of shit.
- 42:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 42:27SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 42:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 42:28SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's like this guy, I,
- 42:31SPEAKER_00: I appreciate what he's saying and I agree with what he's saying,
- 42:34SPEAKER_00: but at the same time,
- 42:36SPEAKER_00: he's only saying it because he realizes that he got in the ass.
- 42:41SPEAKER_00: It's the only reason he's saying it and not by Diddy and not by Diddy by ACE.
- 42:46SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 42:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 42:49SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 42:49SPEAKER_03: Here's more.
- 42:51SPEAKER_03: These people, your money, none of them.
- 42:53SPEAKER_03: I'm going to give you a couple of stories here.
- 42:55SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 42:56SPEAKER_03: One story is a personal experience that I had where,
- 43:00SPEAKER_03: and I hate to say this because I'm such a huge fan and I was so excited
- 43:05SPEAKER_03: and I'm still like,
- 43:06SPEAKER_03: I'm still a huge fan of these artists that I'm going to talk about.
- 43:10SPEAKER_03: And it just bums me out because it's like, man, I was so excited.
- 43:13SPEAKER_03: And now I'm like, I don't want to give them any more of my money, man.
- 43:18SPEAKER_03: And I'm going to say exactly who it is.
- 43:21SPEAKER_01: It's just buyer's remorse.
- 43:22SPEAKER_01: That's all it is.
- 43:24SPEAKER_01: It's like I spent a shitload of money because of being enamored.
- 43:30SPEAKER_01: And now that I went and said, Hey, how you doing?
- 43:32SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice to meet you.
- 43:34SPEAKER_01: And then off to the next fan.
- 43:36SPEAKER_01: And you're forgotten.
- 43:37SPEAKER_01: Wow, that was it?
- 43:38SPEAKER_01: That's all I got for $3,500?
- 43:40SPEAKER_01: I thought maybe you'd kiss the ring or something for me spending that kind of money.
- 43:44SPEAKER_00: I thought you'd add my phone number to your phone and text me every once in a while.
- 43:49SPEAKER_00: We could be pals now.
- 43:50SPEAKER_01: Every time you come through the city, you'd call me up and say, hey, what's this guy?
- 43:54SPEAKER_01: Hey, I'm in town.
- 43:56SPEAKER_01: Yeah, why don't you come have lunch with me?
- 43:57SPEAKER_01: Come hang
- 43:58SPEAKER_01: at the hotel.
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's just butt hurt because he didn't get treated like he's part of the tour.
- 44:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like a buddy.
- 44:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 44:12SPEAKER_01: Remember how dejected Randy was when Sebastian Bach took his backstage pass away from him?
- 44:18SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 44:18SPEAKER_01: Remember that?
- 44:19SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 44:21SPEAKER_01: Randy was a runner for Sebastian Bach just because he was willing to do it.
- 44:28SPEAKER_01: So in order to be a runner for Sebastian and go out and run some errands and Be able
- 44:33SPEAKER_01: to get back into the club.
- 44:34SPEAKER_01: They gave him a backstage pass, and he kept it.
- 44:39SPEAKER_01: And then when Sebastian was at other things,
- 44:41SPEAKER_01: Randy just showed up there with his backstage pass,
- 44:44SPEAKER_01: and they're just like, what the fuck are you doing here?
- 44:47SPEAKER_01: And they took his pass from him.
- 44:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they did.
- 44:51SPEAKER_01: And he came home with his tail between his legs.
- 44:54SPEAKER_01: It's just like.
- 44:55SPEAKER_00: I can't believe they took my pass, man.
- 44:56SPEAKER_01: They took his pass because he was just showing up backstage.
- 45:00SPEAKER_01: And like, what the fuck are you doing here?
- 45:02SPEAKER_01: How did you get back here?
- 45:03SPEAKER_01: Well, I got the backstage pass, man.
- 45:05SPEAKER_01: Give me that.
- 45:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 45:06SPEAKER_01: You can't have that.
- 45:07SPEAKER_01: We're taking that back.
- 45:09SPEAKER_01: That's right.
- 45:10SPEAKER_01: That was only for that one night.
- 45:13SPEAKER_00: Randy's good for that all the time, too.
- 45:17SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 45:17SPEAKER_00: Here's more of this guy.
- 45:19SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
- 45:19SPEAKER_01: He took my pass, man.
- 45:23SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to hold back on that because it's, I mean, I think it's worth saying.
- 45:26SPEAKER_03: And I think that not just these people that I'm calling out, it's just a personal experience.
- 45:30SPEAKER_03: You may have another one,
- 45:31SPEAKER_03: but the worst VIP experience I ever had wasn't even spending $3,500 on a guitar
- 45:41SPEAKER_03: and getting treated kind of strangely.
- 45:42SPEAKER_03: It was actually,
- 45:43SPEAKER_03: I spent $700 on the Joe Satriani and Steve Vai Uh,
- 45:51SPEAKER_03: VIP meet and greet, uh, photo op, whatever it was horrible experience.
- 45:58SPEAKER_00: And this guy is a celebrity fucker.
- 46:02SPEAKER_00: He is.
- 46:02SPEAKER_00: He's a star fucker.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:05SPEAKER_00: I mean, $700 to meet Satch and buy stop it.
- 46:10SPEAKER_00: What are you doing?
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: This guy just in the,
- 46:14SPEAKER_00: just in these two purchases spent more than half of our audience makes in a year.
- 46:22SPEAKER_01: 4,200 bucks.
- 46:24SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 46:26SPEAKER_00: Holy smokes.
- 46:28SPEAKER_00: That's more dollars than Ozzy has said words in the last 10 minutes.
- 46:32SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: Jesus.
- 46:34SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
- 46:36SPEAKER_03: And I saw a lot of complaints about this, right?
- 46:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 46:40SPEAKER_03: It's so expensive to do,
- 46:42SPEAKER_03: you know, and, and,
- 46:42SPEAKER_03: and not only that,
- 46:43SPEAKER_03: but you don't,
- 46:44SPEAKER_03: the tickets aren't even included in that price, you know,
- 46:46SPEAKER_00: but you agreed to do it.
- 46:49SPEAKER_01: Nobody held a gun to your head.
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: This is literally, does this guy own anything else?
- 46:56SPEAKER_01: Well, I think a guy like him, I'm going to assume he plays guitar, right?
- 47:04SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:06SPEAKER_01: So something tells me that when he got backstage or paid for the meet and greet
- 47:13SPEAKER_01: or whatever, he thought he could talk guitar theory with these guys.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 47:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:20SPEAKER_01: Didn't sit there.
- 47:21SPEAKER_01: Well, you know what?
- 47:22SPEAKER_01: When I down tune to D and I do this, have you experienced this, Joe?
- 47:27SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know,
- 47:28SPEAKER_01: I know your style and I bet you wanted to sit there and talk,
- 47:33SPEAKER_01: you know, guitar technique and stuff.
- 47:35SPEAKER_01: And they didn't give him that time of day to do that kind of stuff.
- 47:38SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:38SPEAKER_01: They were just like, yeah, thanks for coming back.
- 47:40SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 47:40SPEAKER_01: Here's your autograph picture out the door.
- 47:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 47:44SPEAKER_01: And.
- 47:44SPEAKER_01: Well, wait a minute.
- 47:45SPEAKER_00: I was going to talk theory with you.
- 47:47SPEAKER_00: Now, now you're not beat it.
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: Thanks for your money.
- 47:52SPEAKER_00: And I'll say this about, about both of those guys.
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: I don't know Joe real well.
- 47:56SPEAKER_00: I've only met him once, but I've interviewed Steve a few times.
- 47:59SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 48:00SPEAKER_00: I know this about Steve and I'm not shitting on him,
- 48:02SPEAKER_00: but Steve is not the easiest guy to even interview when he's scheduled to talk
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: to you.
- 48:07SPEAKER_01: I met him.
- 48:08SPEAKER_01: I met him at NAMM a couple of times and through Bob and even as a, as a intro.
- 48:18SPEAKER_01: Hey, how you doing?
- 48:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 48:20SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's not, he's not that guy.
- 48:24SPEAKER_01: No, he's definitely, he's not Mr. Percival.
- 48:26SPEAKER_01: He's not a, he's not a, uh, what do you want to call a social light?
- 48:30SPEAKER_00: No.
- 48:31SPEAKER_00: And that's not being negative.
- 48:32SPEAKER_00: That's just being honest.
- 48:33SPEAKER_01: He's just personality.
- 48:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 48:36SPEAKER_00: I mean, so this guy was expecting what
- 48:39SPEAKER_01: a guitar lesson, I guess an embrace and
- 48:42SPEAKER_00: yeah.
- 48:43SPEAKER_01: Hello guitar.
- 48:44SPEAKER_01: I could smell you across the room.
- 48:47SPEAKER_00: You're one of us.
- 48:47SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 48:48SPEAKER_00: And not for nothing.
- 48:49SPEAKER_00: But I'm quite sure he wasn't the only guitar player in the meet and greet.
- 48:52SPEAKER_01: I guarantee you that.
- 48:54SPEAKER_00: And a Joe Satriani, Steve, I meet and greet.
- 48:57SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 48:57SPEAKER_00: I'd imagine the guy that doesn't play guitar would be the loner in that.
- 49:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, come on.
- 49:03SPEAKER_00: It's craziness.
- 49:06SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
- 49:08SPEAKER_03: I mean, a lot of the times,
- 49:09SPEAKER_03: maybe in that one, it was,
- 49:10SPEAKER_03: I can't remember,
- 49:11SPEAKER_03: but it's like, okay, I dropped a good 700, $800 after taxes and fees and all the BS.
- 49:17SPEAKER_03: And then I'm thinking to myself, okay, I'm getting a little gift bag.
- 49:21SPEAKER_03: That's cool.
- 49:21SPEAKER_03: It's going to have pics and some stuff,
- 49:23SPEAKER_03: a lanyard or even a little poster card and then something from the show.
- 49:29SPEAKER_03: Cool.
- 49:30SPEAKER_03: It was all supposed to be signed, it said.
- 49:32SPEAKER_03: Nothing got signed.
- 49:33SPEAKER_03: It was all just there.
- 49:34SPEAKER_03: Great.
- 49:35SPEAKER_03: Okay, whatever.
- 49:35SPEAKER_03: I get that, I'm like, that's no big deal.
- 49:38SPEAKER_03: Maybe they'll sign it at the actual greeting.
- 49:42SPEAKER_03: The other problem is I get there and it's like a VIP, right?
- 49:46SPEAKER_03: What does VIP mean?
- 49:48SPEAKER_03: Very...
- 49:49SPEAKER_03: Important person.
- 49:51SPEAKER_03: It means I freaking paid to be here more so than somebody else who just bought
- 49:56SPEAKER_03: the regular ticket.
- 49:57SPEAKER_03: No shame on them.
- 49:58SPEAKER_03: No shame on anybody.
- 49:59SPEAKER_03: It's just saying like,
- 50:00SPEAKER_03: you're very important because you've decided, Hey,
- 50:03SPEAKER_03: we're going to pay a little bit more for a little bit extra, that kind of thing.
- 50:06SPEAKER_03: And sometimes it's a lot more and you should expect a lot more.
- 50:11SPEAKER_00: No, no wrong.
- 50:15SPEAKER_00: You should expect.
- 50:17SPEAKER_00: Exactly what you just read off before you went into what you expected.
- 50:21SPEAKER_00: Stop with your feelings and read what you bought.

- 51:02SPEAKER_00: this, and that, which I got, but I expected more.
- 51:07SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 51:08SPEAKER_00: No, it didn't tell you that.
- 51:11SPEAKER_00: Unless it said specifically,
- 51:13SPEAKER_00: you're going to get a guitar lesson or you're going to get,
- 51:16SPEAKER_00: you know, time to
- 51:18SPEAKER_01: 10 minutes, one-on-one
- 51:19SPEAKER_00: or whatever.
- 51:21SPEAKER_00: You're going to get more than a, how you doing?
- 51:22SPEAKER_00: Here's your autograph.
- 51:23SPEAKER_00: Beat it.
- 51:24SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 51:26SPEAKER_00: and again,
- 51:27SPEAKER_00: I'm not,
- 51:27SPEAKER_00: I'm not even saying that he's wrong to be upset,
- 51:30SPEAKER_00: but he's wrong for spending the money in the first place
- 51:32SPEAKER_00: and not knowing what he purchased.
- 51:35SPEAKER_00: He purchased a and got delivered B and he's not happy about it,
- 51:43SPEAKER_00: you know, or he, he purchased B, got B and wanted a. Yeah.
- 51:46SPEAKER_01: He didn't, he, it didn't live up to what he in his mind thought he was going to get.
- 51:53SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 51:54SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 52:01SPEAKER_01: Oh, he got that.
- 52:02SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 52:02SPEAKER_01: They, they, they searched as they searched his wallet deep.
- 52:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they did.
- 52:09SPEAKER_00: They dug deep into his colon.
- 52:12SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 52:13SPEAKER_00: Jesus Christ.
- 52:14SPEAKER_00: $3,500.
- 52:15SPEAKER_00: A pound of flesh.
- 52:17SPEAKER_00: Man, $4,200 for two meet and greets.
- 52:20SPEAKER_00: And I guarantee those aren't the only two he's paid for.
- 52:24SPEAKER_00: This guy sounds like Tim on steroids.
- 52:28SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
- 52:31SPEAKER_03: And I look and there's like 50 or so people, maybe not even that much, with 40, 30 or 40 people.
- 52:38SPEAKER_03: That are in the VIP.
- 52:39SPEAKER_03: And it's like, okay.
- 52:42SPEAKER_03: So we all get corralled into there.
- 52:44SPEAKER_03: And then it's supposed to be this like open Q&A kind of thing.
- 52:48SPEAKER_03: And, you know, they come out and, you know, yeah, sure.
- 52:51SPEAKER_03: You know, you were listening to them talk, but it's like the same stories.
- 52:54SPEAKER_00: So they delivered what they said they were going to deliver.
- 52:57SPEAKER_01: The same stories.
- 52:59SPEAKER_01: I paid $700 for you to change up your story.
- 53:04SPEAKER_01: But they didn't say that.
- 53:05SPEAKER_00: They just said that it would be an open, open discussion meet and greet.
- 53:08SPEAKER_00: And that's just what they did.
- 53:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 53:10SPEAKER_01: This is what I had in my mind.
- 53:12SPEAKER_01: This thing should be.
- 53:13SPEAKER_01: And it wasn't what I thought it would be.
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 53:17SPEAKER_00: And again, I get it.
- 53:19SPEAKER_00: He's upset that it didn't turn out the way he wanted it to,
- 53:22SPEAKER_00: but you know what, dude, lesson learned.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: Instead of going on YouTube and looking like a cry baby,
- 53:29SPEAKER_00: how about you just don't buy any more meet and greets?
- 53:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 53:33SPEAKER_00: How about lesson learned?
- 53:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 53:35SPEAKER_01: Well, again, it didn't leave, it didn't live up to my perception of what it
- 53:39SPEAKER_00: should be.
- 53:40SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 53:42SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
- 53:43SPEAKER_00: A little more of this guy.
- 53:45SPEAKER_03: They've told a billion times on interviews and people are asking some
- 53:50SPEAKER_03: of these weird questions and like,
- 53:52SPEAKER_03: I know they paid to be there,
- 53:53SPEAKER_03: so that's fine if they want to ask those questions, but it's like, Okay.
- 53:55SPEAKER_03: I'm like raising my hand,
- 53:57SPEAKER_03: raising my hand,
- 53:57SPEAKER_03: raising my hand,
- 53:58SPEAKER_03: keep every time that,
- 53:59SPEAKER_03: and then they'd go off on a big tangent on someone's question forever.
- 54:02SPEAKER_03: There was no like structure to like how long or short the question.
- 54:06SPEAKER_00: Did it say there would be structure on the thing that you fucking paid for?
- 54:10SPEAKER_01: I was raising my hand and they didn't call on me.
- 54:13SPEAKER_01: And I was really mad about that.
- 54:15SPEAKER_00: Were you guaranteed to get a question answered?
- 54:19SPEAKER_00: That's always my, my answer to that.
- 54:20SPEAKER_00: Cause I, I've heard this exact complaint a lot.
- 54:24SPEAKER_00: I heard it a lot on the wasp tour that black,
- 54:26SPEAKER_00: he was doing those open Q and A's and people were pissed that,
- 54:29SPEAKER_00: that they didn't get to ask him any questions.
- 54:32SPEAKER_00: And it was like, you know, he never promised that he just said it would be an open thing.
- 54:37SPEAKER_01: But he didn't say who was going to get called on and you were guaranteed a question
- 54:41SPEAKER_01: and all that kind of stuff.
- 54:43SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
- 54:45SPEAKER_03: All right, here we go.
- 54:46SPEAKER_03: Questions.
- 54:47SPEAKER_03: We're going to be.
- 54:49SPEAKER_03: And then the guy comes out and he's like, all right, we're done with that, done with Q&A.
- 54:52SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, well, like 10, 12 of us didn't even get to ask a question.
- 54:56SPEAKER_03: I paid to be here just as much as the people that paid their, and got to ask their questions.
- 55:02SPEAKER_03: And they were just like, nope, hard stop, done.
- 55:04SPEAKER_03: And then they're like, oh, okay, I guess we're done.
- 55:06SPEAKER_03: They're like, okay, everybody stand up, get in line, we're going to start taking photos.
- 55:09SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, okay, at least I get, you know, at least I get that, you know?
- 55:13SPEAKER_03: So me and my buddy who went with me, like Chris, 1,400.
- 55:19SPEAKER_03: He's like, all right, here, you know, you hold my gift bag.
- 55:21SPEAKER_03: I'll take my photo.
- 55:22SPEAKER_03: You hand me your gift bag and then you go take your photo.
- 55:24SPEAKER_03: So I'm like, all right, figuring it out.
- 55:26SPEAKER_03: People are talking to each.
- 55:26SPEAKER_00: Got a plan.
- 55:27SPEAKER_00: Got a plan together.
- 55:28SPEAKER_03: Coordinated effort.
- 55:29SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 55:31SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they're like, like, oh man, I'm really excited to get to meet these guys.
- 55:34SPEAKER_03: Shake their hand.
- 55:35SPEAKER_03: You know, you're like, I just came in my pants a little bit.
- 55:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think so.
- 55:40Yeah.
- 55:44SPEAKER_03: Maybe they spent more.
- 55:45SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 55:46SPEAKER_03: I spent $700 and we get to the, we get all lined up, ready to go.
- 55:52SPEAKER_03: And, and, uh, Joe Satriani and Steve, I don't even come off the stage.
- 55:57SPEAKER_03: They just stood on stage with their fricking hands in their pockets.
- 56:00SPEAKER_03: Like they're too good to come down and talk to the people
- 56:02SPEAKER_03: that just paid fricking $700 to meet them.
- 56:08SPEAKER_01: See what I just tell you about the whole group photo thing.
- 56:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 56:11SPEAKER_00: This happens at every meet and greet every all the
- 56:14SPEAKER_01: time with a bunch
- 56:15SPEAKER_01: of people you have no idea
- 56:17SPEAKER_00: no and this doesn't have to be big stars either I know
- 56:21SPEAKER_00: the plush girls were taking pictures where they were sitting at a table and they had

- 56:38SPEAKER_00: especially guys like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai,
- 56:40SPEAKER_00: whose whole living is their fucking hands.
- 56:42SPEAKER_00: Last thing they're going to be doing is shaking a bunch of strange hands
- 56:45SPEAKER_00: or doing fist bumps or anything.
- 56:47SPEAKER_00: That's their livelihood.
- 56:49SPEAKER_00: They're not doing that.
- 56:51SPEAKER_00: Be happy you got a picture.
- 56:53SPEAKER_00: Maybe next time you'll save your 700 and just get up to the barrier and stand
- 56:58SPEAKER_00: in front of it and take a picture while they're playing.
- 57:00SPEAKER_00: It's a better photo anyway.
- 57:04SPEAKER_03: All right, here we go.

- 57:54SPEAKER_00: I guarantee you their,
- 57:55SPEAKER_00: their meet and greet on their,

- 58:00SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: Guaranteed.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: It does not say that.
- 58:04SPEAKER_00: It just says a photo with Joe and Vi.
- 58:08SPEAKER_00: I guarantee that's what it says.
- 58:10SPEAKER_00: And you got one.
- 58:12SPEAKER_00: Stop whining.
- 58:15SPEAKER_00: You want more?
- 58:16SPEAKER_00: Are you fascinated by this guy?
- 58:19SPEAKER_01: Well, he just, he's just, again, buyer's remorse.
- 58:23SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 58:25SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 58:25SPEAKER_00: We'll play a little more and then we'll play on it because he just goes on and on and on.
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: I'm sure he does.
- 58:30SPEAKER_03: Here we go.
- 58:32SPEAKER_03: I was so mad, man.
- 58:34SPEAKER_03: And I just gave all my stuff away.
- 58:37SPEAKER_03: I didn't want any of the VIPs.
- 58:38SPEAKER_00: I mean, so he spent 700,
- 58:42SPEAKER_00: maybe 1400 if he paid for his friend too, which may very well have happened.
- 58:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 58:48SPEAKER_00: And he was so mad that he threw it away.
- 58:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 58:51SPEAKER_01: Fuck this.
- 58:52SPEAKER_01: I don't even want their garbage.
- 58:55SPEAKER_00: Don't want it even in my house.
- 58:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 58:57SPEAKER_00: Get rid of this shit, but he kept that ACE guitar.
- 59:03SPEAKER_00: That $150 ace guitar for 3,500.
- 59:05SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 59:08SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
- 59:10SPEAKER_03: And the show was great.
- 59:11SPEAKER_03: I was, and I had front row seats.
- 59:12SPEAKER_03: I'm like watching the show.
- 59:13SPEAKER_03: The show went great.
- 59:14SPEAKER_03: And I still love those guys.
- 59:16SPEAKER_03: Like, I don't want that to get like misconstrued in what I'm talking.
- 59:20SPEAKER_03: Translation.
- 59:21SPEAKER_00: He'll do it again.
- 59:26SPEAKER_00: This time it'll be right.
- 59:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 59:28SPEAKER_00: They'll treat me better this time.
- 59:31SPEAKER_00: Because this time the meet and greet's $1,100.
- 59:33SPEAKER_00: It's going to be better.
- 59:34SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 59:40SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 59:40SPEAKER_00: I think that's enough.
- 59:41SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
- 59:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree.
- 59:43SPEAKER_00: Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you because, man,
- 59:47SPEAKER_00: I don't disagree with them about not doing the meet and greets,
- 59:50SPEAKER_00: not paying to meet these fucks,
- 59:53SPEAKER_00: but you can't complain about it when they delivered what they said they were going
- 59:57SPEAKER_00: to deliver.
- 59:58SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 1:00:00SPEAKER_00: You just can't.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_00: You got what they offered.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_00: You're not important.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_00: And that's the bigger lesson for anybody that goes to meet and greets.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying this to be mean.
- 1:00:11SPEAKER_00: Obviously, we are friends or friendly with God knows how many musicians that do meet and greets.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_00: But I'm going to tell you 1000% of the time you are not important to them.
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_00: You're just another fuck who came to the show
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_01: and spent your $700.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_00: You are, they,
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_00: when they break down their money,
- 1:00:32SPEAKER_00: which is usually between the four or five band members and the one or two roadies
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_00: that are with them.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_00: And if they have a sound guy and the venue and all that they're reduced to X amount of money.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_00: Whatever it is.
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_00: And it ain't when we say, you know, a show is $30,000.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_00: Once you pay everybody out of that,
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_00: it's a lot less,
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_00: you know, when, when,
- 1:00:58SPEAKER_00: when I don't want to say docking,
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_00: but when any band is paid $30,000, you take that 30.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_00: You take off whatever it costs for hotel rooms for everybody in your band
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_00: and flights and flights and,
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_00: and management fees and management fees to just what, five, 10%.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_00: It's 10%.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_00: And, um, uh, actual pay of your musicians, right?
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_00: The actual pay there.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_00: And then what is left is your take.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_00: So all of these guys are doing these meet and greets to supplement,
- 1:01:37SPEAKER_00: to supplement the fact that, and,
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_00: and maybe not the main star,
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_00: maybe not the Vince Neil or Steven Piercey or whatever,
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_00: but the other guys, there's a reason why all the other guys are selling at the show.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_00: There's a reason why they're selling their solo CD or their,
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_00: whatever they're, what do they call those things?
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_00: The guitar thing, the guitar.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 1:01:58SPEAKER_01: The, the, the,
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_01: The face or whatever,
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_00: the pick guard.
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_00: There's a reason that they're selling all that shit.
- 1:02:04SPEAKER_00: It's because they need to, they need to make money so that they're not making $300 to be there.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_00: You know, that's, that's how they supplement.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_00: So for now, obviously Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are not in that category, but you know what?
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_00: They're cashing out.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_00: They're at the end of their career.
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_00: They're, they're grabbing every penny they can.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_00: And if you're willing to give it to them, that's on you.
- 1:02:27SPEAKER_00: That's you being too hardcore of a fan.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_00: Stop treating these guys like they don't fucking wear
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_00: the same fucking Calvin Klein's as you dickhead.
- 1:02:35SPEAKER_00: I mean, holy shit.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_00: it's still,
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_00: it's still two legs and a dick in the pouch of the underpants,
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_00: buddy, you know, stop it.
- 1:02:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_01: And the thing is,
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_01: is if you,
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_01: if you're clever enough to know where they're staying,
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_01: there's a high probability you could probably meet them at the lobby in their hotel.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_00: And it's usually not very hard to figure that one out either.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 1:02:56SPEAKER_00: You know.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_01: Because,
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_01: you're hanging around at the lobby at the hotel and they got to leave to either go
- 1:03:02SPEAKER_01: to the gig or leave to go to the next,
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_01: wherever it is that they'll more than likely go take a picture with you
- 1:03:09SPEAKER_01: or maybe sign an autograph or something.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_00: I don't know that I've ever seen anybody say, no, no, I have a meet and greet for that.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_00: Nope.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_00: I don't, I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
- 1:03:19SPEAKER_00: I'm saying I've never seen it.
- 1:03:21SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_01: But that's usually the best plan if you're that desperate to meet your favorite artist.
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_01: If you're,
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_01: like I said,
- 1:03:33SPEAKER_01: cunning enough to know where they're staying,
- 1:03:36SPEAKER_01: there's a high probability you can meet them in the lobby.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, almost every band you can.
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_00: Anyway, I just wanted you to see this guy.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_00: I just thought you'd be fascinated
- 1:03:49SPEAKER_01: by this guy.
- 1:03:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's buyer beware.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_00: Not news necessarily, but-
- 1:03:55SPEAKER_01: And again, you have to realize you're a stranger to these people.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_01: You're a stranger to your favorite artists.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_01: You feel in kinship with them like you know them because you know their music
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_01: or their art or whatever it is that they do.
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_01: But when they see you- They look at you as some sketchy stranger.
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_01: It's like, is this guy going to stab me in the back with a knife?
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_01: Or is he friendly?
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_01: Or is he cool?
- 1:04:25SPEAKER_01: Or is he a psycho?
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_01: And that's why Don asked me to travel with him,
- 1:04:30SPEAKER_01: because I'm the guy who runs interference for him.
- 1:04:34SPEAKER_00: Right, sure.
- 1:04:36SPEAKER_00: And, you know...
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_00: Not for nothing.
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_00: And I'm not saying that this is a good thing or a bad thing,
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_00: but I'm going to say, based on what you said, it's probably an honest thing.
- 1:04:46SPEAKER_00: If you're willing to spend way too much money to meet these guys, I would fear you.
- 1:04:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_00: I would absolutely be nervous as hell to have that guy that's willing
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_00: to spend $3,500 to fucking meet me.
- 1:05:01SPEAKER_00: I'd be like, man, this motherfucker might want to kill me.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_01: And it's happened.
- 1:05:06SPEAKER_00: It has.
- 1:05:08SPEAKER_00: You know, but I mean, that's a telltale sign.
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_00: If you're, that's the difference between being a casual fan of, Hey, what's up, man.
- 1:05:15SPEAKER_00: Love the record and being a kind of a weirdo psycho when you're looking at three
- 1:05:22SPEAKER_00: and four months worth of rent or mortgage or whatever to meet me.
- 1:05:28SPEAKER_00: That's a little scary.
- 1:05:31SPEAKER_00: Shout it Ozzie.
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_01: But yeah,
- 1:05:37SPEAKER_01: so as somebody who does travel with a band that still does have the bands who want
- 1:05:44SPEAKER_01: to come up and say hello and get a picture and this and that,
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_01: I have to size them up and down first.
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 1:05:52SPEAKER_01: You know, because there's some whack-ass people out there.
- 1:05:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there are.
- 1:05:56SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 1:05:57SPEAKER_01: but the reason that they feel comfortable about meeting their favorite star is
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_01: because they think they know them.
- 1:06:04SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_01: And the star doesn't know you.
- 1:06:08SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:06:09SPEAKER_01: You know, so they have to look at you like, okay, was this guy okay?
- 1:06:14SPEAKER_01: No, not okay.
- 1:06:17SPEAKER_01: You know, and just gotta be careful.
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_01: There's some whack ass people out there.
- 1:06:22SPEAKER_01: So just because you paid for a meet and greet doesn't mean that, Hey, there's old Josh.
- 1:06:27SPEAKER_01: Come on up here, Josh.
- 1:06:31SPEAKER_00: Glad to meet you, buddy.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, come on up here.
- 1:06:33SPEAKER_00: Here's my guitar.
- 1:06:34SPEAKER_00: Show me what you would do with it.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, get the fuck out of here.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_00: Be happy they stood there and took a picture looking at the back of your head.
- 1:06:44SPEAKER_00: That's the best you're really ever going to get.
- 1:06:47SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 1:06:48SPEAKER_00: But, yeah, I just thought you'd enjoy that.
- 1:06:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
- 1:06:50SPEAKER_01: it was good.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_01: It was good.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_01: Well, that's going to wrap up the podcast.
- 1:06:55SPEAKER_01: The sponsored segment of the Classic Metal Show.
- 1:06:58SPEAKER_01: So we're going to jump into some tunage here.
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_01: Going along with the request.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_01: I think you'll enjoy this request.
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_01: I think you can appreciate it since you're a fan as much as I am.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_01: But Chuck from North Carolina checking in.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_01: He said he's going to see Testament, Creator, and Possessed.
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:07:19SPEAKER_01: In Raleigh, North Carolina.
- 1:07:20SPEAKER_01: Nice.
- 1:07:21SPEAKER_01: Is that still happening?
- 1:07:22SPEAKER_00: Is it still there?
- 1:07:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah, true.
- 1:07:26SPEAKER_01: That's true.
- 1:07:27SPEAKER_01: Uh, but anyway,
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_01: he wanted to hear a Testament from the new order release and he wanted to hear
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_01: the title track.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:07:34SPEAKER_00: Sounds good to me.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_01: So for Chuck in North Carolina, hopefully you're safe.
