[00:00:00] Speaker A: It is now Discover Time. We are here to share Prince's works with the utmost authenticity, clarity, and precision. This means there may be situations where the material being discussed may be sensitive or offensive to some. However, we have chosen to discuss his work as it was initially produced. We will not alter any of his original work to suit anyone's comfort, including our own. This podcast is to celebrate Prince and his works.
[00:00:29] Speaker B: Thank you for your support and understanding. Now, on to the show.
Hello. Welcome to Alphabet Suite podcast for the Prince Songbook. There are hundreds of songs to choose from. You have chosen.
[00:00:51] Speaker C: He's gonna go, why did I ever start doing that in the first place?
All right, everyone, it's us again and again and again. It's like Groundhog Day. We just keep coming back and coming back and coming back.
So welcome back. I am your host.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: You were on your phone.
[00:01:19] Speaker C: Of course he was.
[00:01:20] Speaker D: No, I am on the Alphabet Suite podcast.
[00:01:24] Speaker C: Yes, you are.
[00:01:25] Speaker D: Okay. I am your co host, Timothy. I did not hear you say anything about, like, welcome back to another episode of Alphabet Suite podcast. You just rambled about some stuff.
[00:01:39] Speaker C: What stuff?
[00:01:40] Speaker D: I don't know. I wasn't paying attention to you.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: I'm producer Aaron.
[00:01:43] Speaker C: Thank you. Rock on, Hurricane.
[00:01:46] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was behind here and this computer is driving me crazy way at times.
[00:01:52] Speaker C: Oh, I think. It's not the computer.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: You could. You could plug it in.
[00:01:56] Speaker D: No, I don't need to be plugged in. It's.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Then you just gotta change your power settings.
[00:02:00] Speaker D: Yeah, it drives me crazy. Okay, so anyway.
[00:02:03] Speaker C: Anyway, we are.
[00:02:05] Speaker D: Look, we're gonna get right to it.
[00:02:07] Speaker C: Are we?
[00:02:07] Speaker D: Yeah, because the last episode was just, like, took forever.
[00:02:12] Speaker B: That last episode Raw was 35 minutes.
[00:02:18] Speaker C: And I think we talked about the song for five.
[00:02:21] Speaker D: So today we are discussing Alice through the Looking Glass.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Not in Wonderland, huh?
[00:02:28] Speaker D: No, this is part two to that. Oh, yeah.
[00:02:32] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:02:34] Speaker D: So you know, she Lee.
[00:02:36] Speaker C: I like she Lee.
[00:02:37] Speaker D: I love Sheila. She's so sexy. Remember the One cover. Oh, my God, the White and the.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah, She's a killer drummer.
[00:02:44] Speaker D: She is so.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: So she Lee.
[00:02:48] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:02:48] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:02:49] Speaker D: Oh, I gotta change my page and get to it.
[00:02:51] Speaker C: What do you want to talk about with she Lee?
Other than her being a sexy mofo?
[00:02:57] Speaker B: Talented.
[00:02:58] Speaker C: She is very talented. And she can sing, you know, and she's very pretty. So she's beautiful. She can play the drums like a madman.
Mad Woman. And can sing.
What else is there to say?
That's it.
[00:03:16] Speaker D: We're done. It's a wrap.
[00:03:20] Speaker C: No. So you were not prepared for this episode at all, were you?
[00:03:26] Speaker D: Well, I. Cause you know, we gotta stop for just a second. Not stop the podcast. But I have to because I was on this and I needed to because I'm so super stoked about.
I've already had snack time. Not now, but the thing, the first thing that I. I wanted to show you earlier and I forgot.
[00:03:48] Speaker B: See, he was on his phone.
[00:03:49] Speaker D: I was. I was trying to find the email.
[00:03:53] Speaker C: Really? Which one?
[00:03:54] Speaker D: The top one.
[00:03:55] Speaker C: Oh, geez. Yeah, yeah. Did you buy that?
[00:03:59] Speaker D: I did.
[00:03:59] Speaker C: Oh boy.
[00:04:00] Speaker D: Because you can't buy them in Rockford. You can't buy them in anywhere in Illinois, in.
[00:04:04] Speaker C: So you had to order them.
[00:04:05] Speaker D: I had to order them on.
[00:04:08] Speaker C: Amazon.
[00:04:10] Speaker D: Walmart, eBay, snacks dot com.
[00:04:13] Speaker C: Oh, nice.
[00:04:14] Speaker B: That's my kind of website.
[00:04:16] Speaker C: Yeah, I know, right?
[00:04:17] Speaker D: So I've had them, but I haven't had them in like 20 years because they stopped selling them anywhere.
[00:04:23] Speaker C: So These are probably 20 years old.
[00:04:25] Speaker D: No, I hope not.
[00:04:26] Speaker C: They bought a whole warehouse full of them 20 years ago.
[00:04:28] Speaker D: And then maybe, I mean, I can get them on Walmart, but they're like.
I don't know. The one I seen was like 14 bucks for a 9 ounce bag, plus 9.99 for shipping.
No way I'm doing it. Same with Amazon.
[00:04:43] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:04:44] Speaker D: You know, I tried to get my. My ex wife to. Because they've got them in San Antonio, Texas at their stores and.
[00:04:50] Speaker C: And she wouldn't buy them and ship them to you?
[00:04:52] Speaker D: No. I've been telling her for three freaking years, man. One day she's like, we're making nachos. And I'm like, what's that green bag? And she's like, what green bag? And so I said over there, the Doritos. What is it? Because they also have like the jalapeno cheddar. It's a green bag. You know, she picked that bag. I was so mad. I think I hung up on her because I've been asking her for three years. I said, I'll pay for the shipping, I'll pay you for the chips. Send me a bag, please. No.
[00:05:18] Speaker B: So this is a Tex Mex flavored Doritos.
[00:05:22] Speaker C: We're talking about salsa verde.
So we'll be. That'll be coming on a future snack time. Apparently.
[00:05:28] Speaker D: Yeah. I bought two bags and then I also bought the.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: I feel like I've had those before.
[00:05:33] Speaker C: Yeah, 20 years ago.
[00:05:37] Speaker D: I'm not really good with the white cheddar on chips and stuff. I don't think it belongs on that popcorn. Yes. So the other one, you know. Anyway. Okay, so it's a very above beat song.
[00:05:49] Speaker C: Butt beat.
Thinking about Sheila. Right? A very butt beaten song.
[00:05:56] Speaker D: Very beat.
[00:05:58] Speaker C: So there we go. That's a whole different podcast.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: That's the only fans.
[00:06:05] Speaker C: No butt beats.
That's a butt beat. Something.
[00:06:12] Speaker B: It's not boots and cats over there.
[00:06:14] Speaker C: No, it is not.
[00:06:15] Speaker B: It's butts and slaps.
[00:06:19] Speaker C: It is a very upbeat song. It's is a very good song, too.
Well, apparently not to you.
[00:06:30] Speaker D: I think it's too much drums.
[00:06:34] Speaker C: Too much drums?
[00:06:36] Speaker D: Yeah. I don't know.
[00:06:38] Speaker C: Are you saying there's too much Sheila?
[00:06:40] Speaker D: No, too much drums, not too much Sheila. I don't care. She's playing the drums. It's never too much Sheila.
[00:06:45] Speaker C: Well, Prince did all the. Every. All the instruments and everything.
[00:06:48] Speaker D: Okay, well, there we go then. Too much.
[00:06:49] Speaker C: Too much Prince.
[00:06:50] Speaker D: Yeah, Knocking off Prince. But on a good note.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: He's pretty good at knocking it off now.
[00:06:55] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: I would touch my button, but it's way over there.
[00:07:04] Speaker D: But on a good note. I do like this song, even though I feel it's too much, you know, plus, it's she Lee, so. Yeah. I mean, come on, man. Yeah, it's gonna be, you know, there she's, you know.
[00:07:17] Speaker C: Yeah. I agree 100%, you know, and it's one of them. You know, Prince has tons of music that he never put out.
Some of it, when you listen to it in its form that it's in right now, you can say, yeah, that would have needed some work to really do much, you know, because a lot of the music in his vault he never completed. Correct. He'd get down the basics. It's more in a demo stage.
And if you listen to, like, there's songs that he went back and pulled out of the vault and then put on albums like five, six years later, they're not even close. You hear the final song that you he released, as opposed to the version in the vault, and you can tell that he really polished it up. So a lot of the music that's in the vault, people probably like, oh, that sucks, or, you know, that's not that good. It's because it's not finished yet. That was, you know, his rough draft. You know, that was a demo. That was what he made. So it was there when he wanted to actually work on it.
[00:08:24] Speaker D: Correct.
[00:08:25] Speaker C: This song in its state now was actually really good. I mean, it was really close to being ready to be released, if not ready to be released, in my opinion.
It was a very polished song, you know.
[00:08:41] Speaker D: I agree.
[00:08:42] Speaker C: So.
[00:08:43] Speaker B: So this one never came out.
[00:08:45] Speaker C: It finally did. They finally did release it on the Diamonds and Pearls Super Deluxe Edition.
So it took them.
[00:08:52] Speaker B: We did an unboxing of that, didn't we?
[00:08:54] Speaker C: We did the unboxing of the single set. Did we do the.
The Super Deluxe Edition too? I don't remember now.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: I think I recall that phrase.
[00:09:07] Speaker C: Yeah, we might have done that too.
[00:09:08] Speaker B: Either way, check it
[email protected] AlphaBetsweet podcast.
[00:09:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
But yeah, they finally released it on.
On the Super Deluxe Edition and. And I was glad.
So it's a good song.
[00:09:24] Speaker B: So did you. Did you hear a bootleg version of this one?
[00:09:27] Speaker C: You know, oddly enough, I never did.
I do not.
[00:09:33] Speaker B: So you aren't able to compare and.
[00:09:35] Speaker C: Contrast how well they polished version versus.
[00:09:38] Speaker B: The mastered version is.
[00:09:39] Speaker C: Yeah, and I would imagine. So what they're doing now is they're just cleaning them up. I mean, you can't, you know, Prince is gone, so you can't really. He's not going to make it into something else. So you're just hearing a cleaned up version of the vault version. You know, someone went through and mastered what was already existing, so.
And they've actually been doing a pretty good job of doing that. Yeah. You know, when they clean up. Because I've heard some, you know, a lot of the music that's on these, I've got the bootleg versions of. And so it is cleaned up pretty well.
Some of them, the bootleg versions are, you know, pretty good to begin with. Some not a lot, but some. So there's not quite as much of a disparity between the two. But yeah, this, this one, it sounds great. It really does.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: Had a couple random thoughts that might be cool.
[00:10:36] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:10:38] Speaker B: Let's say they did like a. The, the.
The Estate did like a tribute album.
And hear me out. This is gonna sound kind of crazy.
[00:10:51] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: But it might be super cool. Not that they listen to this, but they should.
Where they take. Let's make it like a 12 track album, nothing crazy.
[00:11:04] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:11:05] Speaker B: And have it be 12 different artists that are still alive that worked with him over the years, where they go through the vault, pick something that they vibe with and finish it.
You mean like make it into his unfinished work, some of his demos or.
[00:11:24] Speaker C: Whatever, and not just clean it up, but actually make it what they think.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: Add pieces to it and. Oh, that would be complete these songs and how they feel it would have in the era that they were working with him.
[00:11:38] Speaker C: Huh? Yeah, that'd be cool. And then put the original with it so you get it side by side.
[00:11:44] Speaker D: Yeah, I like that.
[00:11:46] Speaker C: Yeah, that'd be a good thing. Unfortunately, the estate is in such disarray right now, we're not getting anything from them because it. So this was the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain, right?
[00:12:01] Speaker B: 24 was.
[00:12:02] Speaker C: Yeah.
This whole year. 40th anniversary of Purple Rain last year. They promised a year long celebration. They're like, we are going to. Yes. We realize next year is the 40th anniversary and it is going to be this year. We are going to.
It's going to be Purple Rain everywhere you look.
Right.
[00:12:24] Speaker B: And they couldn't even get him at the Super Bowl.
[00:12:27] Speaker C: Well.
Because he did. But that's okay. It's a bad joke. Yeah. He already did the Super Bowl.
[00:12:33] Speaker B: He did. And man, that was one of the best performances ever.
[00:12:35] Speaker C: Yeah.
So they start the year and what happens right away?
They, they make a couple announcements that just to get the year started, nothing happens because the estate.
So half the estate is owned by Primary Wave.
The other half of the state is owned by an LLC that was created by three of his siblings. Primary Wave owns half of it because the other three siblings sold their half to Primary Wave. Then the three siblings that did not sell formed an llc.
They put in at the head of this llc. I think we probably discussed this on an earlier episode, but they, they put people in charge and then decided at the beginning of this year that they were. I think it was Sharon, his sister. Sharon decided they were going to start messing around and break the contract with them.
And so they basically tried to oust them from the llc, which contractually and legally they could not do, which started this whole big thing of lawsuits which tied up everything. So we got basically butt kiss while.
[00:14:04] Speaker B: They waste money yelling at each other.
[00:14:06] Speaker C: Correct.
So the only things we got to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Purple Rain was a lawsuit. A lawsuit.
That's pretty much it.
No, they, they, they put out this white and purple splattered vinyl for just the original album. Who cares? Why would I spend money on just a different color vinyl?
[00:14:33] Speaker D: Right.
[00:14:33] Speaker B: That probably sounds worse anyways.
[00:14:35] Speaker C: Probably. They put out the Blu Ray, the 4K version of Purple Rain, which I give them props for it. You know, it, it's pretty good.
They created Adobe Atmos soundtrack, but they never sold it. They were supposed to, but they never did. You could like listen to it on Spotify or something. I don't even remember what. But then they're like, oh, we're gonna release that never happened.
So that's it. We basically got the movie remastered in the 4K. And we got.
[00:15:11] Speaker B: Oh, this was probably already done last year anyhow.
[00:15:13] Speaker C: Yeah, probably. But we got nothing. You would have thought, come on, 40 years give us this huge Purple Rain super deluxe edition, right?
But no, they're too shows where their priorities are. Well, had Sharon just left things alone, you know, let.
You don't know the music industry.
She seems to. She wanted to run the show is everything I've read. She wanted to run the show, right.
What have you done in your life that dictates that you know how to make money in the music industry? I'm not a fan of these guys that they put in charge. This Londell, whatever his name is, you know, I'm not a fan of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not.
But at least when they were in charge, things were happening.
But yeah, we got absolutely nothing the whole year though. We're going to have this year long celebration of Purple Rain and said we get lawsuits.
[00:16:21] Speaker B: So anyway, on a more positive topic, we work with a pretty cool company, I think.
[00:16:28] Speaker C: Yeah, we do. Who do we work with?
[00:16:31] Speaker B: Timmy?
[00:16:32] Speaker D: No, we don't work with me.
[00:16:34] Speaker B: No, I don't work with you.
[00:16:35] Speaker D: No, I work for y'all.
[00:16:37] Speaker C: Would you like the sheet?
[00:16:38] Speaker D: Yo, let me try that.
[00:16:40] Speaker C: Let's try this.
[00:16:40] Speaker D: All right. I don't know about these big words.
[00:16:43] Speaker B: But there's your talking points bubble.
[00:16:44] Speaker C: Just kind of talk about that stuff, man.
[00:16:46] Speaker D: Oh, okay.
[00:16:47] Speaker C: Can you read it? Put your glasses on.
[00:16:49] Speaker D: Yeah, I don't want to do all this.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: Do I need to, like, type it out on a huge prompter for you old people to see or.
[00:16:54] Speaker C: Wow, man. He went there. So who are we partnered with?
[00:16:59] Speaker D: We are Power.
[00:17:01] Speaker C: Power powered. We are powered by Cast.
[00:17:03] Speaker B: Us.
[00:17:04] Speaker C: Powered by Cast.
[00:17:05] Speaker D: Yeah, Castos. You know, for all your podcasting needs. Right?
[00:17:10] Speaker C: I mean, in a roundabout way.
[00:17:11] Speaker B: We are powered by them. They host everything for us.
[00:17:14] Speaker C: They do. And they do an excellent YouTube. They do an excellent job too.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: They do do YouTube. I just don't use it for YouTube.
[00:17:20] Speaker C: They do do YouTube.
[00:17:22] Speaker D: They do do.
[00:17:25] Speaker C: What do you get with Castos?
[00:17:28] Speaker D: You get podcast, distribution, platform.
[00:17:35] Speaker C: That's it. That's all you get.
[00:17:37] Speaker D: No, there's more. There's more. That's exciting.
[00:17:39] Speaker C: It is exciting because if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be distributed.
[00:17:42] Speaker D: Boom. Multiple surfaces. Awful. Awful.
[00:17:45] Speaker C: I can't do this.
[00:17:49] Speaker D: I'm seeing stuff.
[00:17:51] Speaker C: Put your services on multiple services.
No multiple services offered, including automated transcriptions, unlimited uploads and downloads for all plans, fixed monthly pricing, which is something you don't get much anywhere anymore.
[00:18:12] Speaker D: Correct.
[00:18:13] Speaker C: You know, everyone's trying to make more than a buck.
[00:18:16] Speaker B: Even your car insurance.
[00:18:19] Speaker C: Yeah, it's horrible. But you also get automatic distribution everywhere, including Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube. They do do YouTube.
[00:18:30] Speaker D: They do.
[00:18:30] Speaker C: Do they do YouTube. We all do do YouTube. You can make money with dynamic ad insertion, which is kind of cool. Everyone likes to make money.
[00:18:40] Speaker D: Yeah, buddy.
[00:18:41] Speaker C: Or you can get donations paid, private podcasts and more. They have multiple services for data analytics, which helps you to see who's listening when they're listening, where they're from, all kinds of things.
[00:18:54] Speaker D: Their age or Social Security number.
[00:18:56] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:18:56] Speaker B: And a new feature that I just recently discovered while uploading is you can record directly into Castos now.
[00:19:06] Speaker C: Huh.
[00:19:07] Speaker B: They have a whole, like, recording suite.
[00:19:10] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:19:10] Speaker C: So can you edit after you record into it?
[00:19:13] Speaker B: I would assume so. I don't use it.
[00:19:15] Speaker C: Huh. Sweet.
[00:19:16] Speaker D: So you never tried?
[00:19:17] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:19:17] Speaker D: You just know it's there.
[00:19:18] Speaker B: No. Yeah.
[00:19:19] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: Because they have a button that's like new episodes. They're like, do you want to upload or do you want to record here?
I'm assuming it's a whole thing where you can edit, put effects and all that other stuff and. But I don't know for sure because I haven't used it.
[00:19:33] Speaker C: Yeah. Because we do everything on our own.
[00:19:35] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: I keep everything local.
[00:19:37] Speaker C: Yeah. But you know what? If you want to find out, if you use our links below, you can get a nice 14 day free trial.
[00:19:45] Speaker D: Nice.
[00:19:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
So, I mean, if you're looking to podcast man, hook up with Castos Castles also sponsors.
What do they sponsor? Oh, they don't really sponsor snack time.
[00:20:04] Speaker D: Oh.
I'm like, what?
[00:20:08] Speaker C: Dude, what is wrong with you?
[00:20:10] Speaker D: I don't know.
[00:20:12] Speaker C: You're horrible today.
[00:20:13] Speaker D: I am.
[00:20:14] Speaker C: All right, so what do we got for snack time today, producer Aaron?
Oh, what do we got?
Another level?
[00:20:24] Speaker D: Whoa.
[00:20:25] Speaker C: Let me spin it around. Oh, Doritos collisions.
Loaded taco with nacho cheese.
I'm gonna grab a handful of these because I love me some Doritos.
Okay.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: I'm sure a serving is more than two.
[00:20:55] Speaker C: You think so?
Oh, you can even tell the difference too.
So I'm gonna put them together. Try them together.
Now I'm gonna crunch in your ear.
That's pretty good.
I'm not a huge fan of nacho cheese Doritos, but you put them with this taco stuff.
It's not bad.
Yeah, I'm digging this. I'm happy like those.
[00:22:01] Speaker B: I like them both on their own anyway.
[00:22:02] Speaker C: So mix them together.
See, I'm not a huge fan of nacho cheese.
[00:22:16] Speaker D: Together, it makes it taste like a brand new chip.
[00:22:20] Speaker C: Yeah, it's really cool, but you got to have them together.
[00:22:23] Speaker D: Yeah, it is pretty good.
[00:22:26] Speaker C: It is kind of the point.
Separately, they just taste like their own chip.
That's pretty good.
Let me grab a few more of those.
Yeah. Okay.
So thank you, Castos, for another good snack.
[00:22:51] Speaker B: Good job, Frito Lay.
[00:22:53] Speaker C: Good job for Italy.
[00:22:57] Speaker D: Yeah. Good.
[00:22:59] Speaker C: Yeah. Anyway, Alistair, the Looking Glass.
Good song. I'm glad they finally released it. I had not heard it until they released it.
And supposedly there's, like, an alternate mix and a version with just Sheila E. On vocals. I don't have them. Couldn't find them, but supposedly they exist.
[00:23:25] Speaker B: So that would have been a nice special edition thing.
[00:23:30] Speaker C: Well, and I don't know why or how they choose what to put on the special editions.
You know, I'm sure they picked songs that were done during that era of whatever they're making.
But if there's multiple versions of the song, give them all to us.
[00:23:49] Speaker B: I don't personally like being the pessimist, but I have a feeling a deciding factor has something to do which. Which with. With that is which one is the most complete.
Do they have to put the least amount of effort into.
[00:24:04] Speaker C: Could be.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: Because, I mean, all of this. What. Especially when it's stuff that's already done. It's a quick, easy buck for them.
[00:24:12] Speaker C: Right. Well, all this is. I mean, they're just doing anything because they're.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: They're arguing over lawsuits when they could just be making millions.
[00:24:24] Speaker C: Yeah. That's the thing that gets me. Everyone's making millions off this stuff.
You know, this stuff sounds like hotcakes.
[00:24:35] Speaker B: And they're running out of time.
[00:24:36] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:24:37] Speaker B: But they'd rather pitch a fit.
[00:24:41] Speaker C: I don't get it.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: I want 1.2 million instead of 1.1.
[00:24:46] Speaker C: It makes zero sense to me.
And here's the thing. You're making all of the money off of someone else's back.
You did nothing to create this music. You're creating the packaging, and you're paying someone to clean it up, which you got to do that no matter what. You know, you got to have packaging, and you got to have it cleaned up.
So horrible.
[00:25:12] Speaker D: Just horrible people.
[00:25:14] Speaker C: It makes.
[00:25:14] Speaker B: It sucks for the fans, man.
[00:25:17] Speaker C: Well, and we're the ones who pay ultimately, you know, And I wouldn't call.
[00:25:21] Speaker B: Myself a huge fan of Prince. Like, I like his music, and I love his skill, but, like, even I, as a person is just like, wow, that's kind of ridiculous. Just put it out there.
Like, if the same thing happened to Metallica, I'd be a little more upset.
But I don't think they have, you know, years of just jamming in the studio that they recorded that hasn't been released. I'm sure they. They have. I'm sure they have. Some. Any good artists will just record everything.
[00:25:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:25:51] Speaker B: You never know when a gold mine drops.
[00:25:53] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:25:54] Speaker B: But, like, I. I'd be a little salty.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: Well, trust me, I'm a lot salty.
Especially since how many times did I give them props for putting out these nice deluxe sets?
[00:26:08] Speaker B: It's like they do really good and then they just go the complete opposite.
[00:26:11] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:26:12] Speaker B: And burn everything down.
[00:26:13] Speaker C: And that's just it. It's not like they just messed up. They burned it to the ground. I mean, it's. You should be putting out. We should be getting two minimum. Two nice deluxe sets a year, minimum. He's got enough material. Exactly.
So first of all, you know, they're. When they were putting it out, we were lucky to get one a year.
We should be getting way more even when they were doing it. And now we're not getting anything. This whole year. We got nothing.
[00:26:46] Speaker D: So you got inflated prices on their stuff online?
[00:26:52] Speaker C: We did.
[00:26:53] Speaker D: That's horrible, man.
[00:26:54] Speaker C: Yep.
[00:26:56] Speaker D: Black Friday's ill. Five percent off.
[00:26:59] Speaker C: Five percent off. A thousand dollars. Yeah. Anyway, so. Good song. I do like it. I'm glad we finally got it.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: So take the good while we have it.
[00:27:12] Speaker C: Yeah. It's about all we can do.
Anyone got anything else to say?
