Speaker 16: on the show actually I think a few times now.
Speaker 19: But so so talented. Love that song.
Speaker 16: Jenny was commenting in the chat room because we also
Speaker 16: played it to open the show today that she woke
Speaker 16: up with it stuck in her head this morning because
Speaker 16: it's so catchy, such a great track. So really looking
Speaker 16: forward to that. So if you are listening live on Saturday,

Speaker 16: are well into our number two New Marrow dose of
Speaker 16: Matt Connorton Unleashed, and thank you again of course to

Speaker 16: She's just starting out in her career, but I think
Speaker 16: she's got a lot of great stuff ahead of her.
Speaker 16: Very talented, So welcome everybody. By the way, Jenny is
Speaker 16: not with me this week, but if you want to
Speaker 16: keep up with everything Jenny is doing, she's been very,
Speaker 16: very busy, give her website a plug jencoffee dot com
Speaker 16: and follow.
Speaker 19: Her on social media. She's up to a lot of
Speaker 19: great stuff.
Speaker 16: Very proud of her of course that today is a Saturday,
Speaker 16: June fourteen, twenty twenty five. I want to share a
Speaker 16: quick story with you all, and I don't know some
Speaker 16: of you might be amused by this. So I made
Speaker 16: a purchase on eBay recently and nothing too exciting. I
Speaker 16: just bought a computer. I needed another computer for our
Speaker 16: home studio because in addition to doing this show here
Speaker 16: every week at WM and H and this beautiful studio
Speaker 16: that we have here at ninety five point three FM.
Speaker 16: Love it here, but we also have a podcasting studio
Speaker 16: that I have at home, and obviously there's you know,
Speaker 16: you need computers for that.
Speaker 19: And Jenny did a wonderful job. A lot of the.
Speaker 16: The wonderful things that people bring us guests. You know,
Speaker 16: they come in, they bring us T shirts and stickers
Speaker 16: and all kinds of stuff or even vinyl records, and
Speaker 16: Jenny decorated the studio with all that stuff. I should
Speaker 16: take some pictures of it. But you know, to support
Speaker 16: all the great guests that we have on the show,
Speaker 16: especially the ones who bring us stuff.
Speaker 14: We like that.
Speaker 19: We like when you bring us things you're.
Speaker 16: Not required to and we don't expect it, but it's
Speaker 16: it's always really cool when people do that. So anyway,
Speaker 16: so so we have the podcasting studio at home and
Speaker 16: I do a couple of In fact today if you're
Speaker 16: listening live on Saturday, this afternoon, Eric Pilter and I
Speaker 16: are going to be doing episode seven of Tough Bumps,
Speaker 16: our wrestling podcast. I know Melanie and Melanie La Libertay
Speaker 16: in the Great State of Vermont, huge fan. It's a
Speaker 16: little inside joke, but anyway, so that we'll be doing
Speaker 16: that today. But I needed a new computer. I needed
Speaker 16: something with a faster processor to do all the things
Speaker 16: that we want to do with the podcast. And that's
Speaker 16: just one of the ones that we do from the
Speaker 16: home studio. So that has no affiliation or connection to
Speaker 16: WM and H. That's completely separate. But it streams online.
Speaker 16: If you follow me on social media, you'll see all
Speaker 16: this stuff. But I needed something with a faster processor,
Speaker 16: so I ordered something.
Speaker 19: I ordered a.
Speaker 16: Referb on eBay, a refurbished computer. And you know, some
Speaker 16: of these places that you order these computers from, you
Speaker 16: can input whatever specs you want. So if you need
Speaker 16: a certain processing speed, a certain amount of RAM you know, memory,
Speaker 16: so forth, you can. You can put in all the
Speaker 16: specifics that you need. A course, the more of any
Speaker 16: one thing, any one specification that you add, the more
Speaker 16: expensive the computer becomes. But I found a really good
Speaker 16: deal on something on a refurbished I mean if I
Speaker 16: bought it new, this same computer with the same specs
Speaker 16: would have cost me hundreds of dollars. I got this
Speaker 16: one really cheap. But so and the seller I bought
Speaker 16: it from, they sell a lot of computers and they
Speaker 16: have a very high they have a great approval rating,
Speaker 16: not approval rating. Sorry, I'm thinking about politics. That relates
Speaker 16: to another podcast that I do, which I'm not going
Speaker 16: to talk about here on wmn H, but we'll leave
Speaker 16: that aside.
Speaker 19: But that's where. That's why the term approval rating was
Speaker 19: in my brain. What I meant to say is feedback.
Speaker 16: You know, because on eBay you leave sellers feedback, or
Speaker 16: if you're a seller, buyers leave you feedback, et cetera.
Speaker 16: That's what I meant to say, feedback, not approval rating.
Speaker 16: But the seller had a great feedback rating and whatnot.
Speaker 16: So I went ahead and I made this purchase, and uh,
Speaker 16: this bought this computer. And so I got it very
Speaker 16: fast shipping, and I was pleased with that. Got it
Speaker 16: hooked up, and everything seems like it's going to do
Speaker 16: everything that I needed to do for the podcast.
Speaker 19: It seems like it's fast enough. Everything's good. Only one problem. Now,
Speaker 19: this is a weird problem. So with the keyboard that
Speaker 19: came with the computer, I cannot.
Speaker 16: Type a letter T, a capital T, I should say
Speaker 16: by holding down the shift key and pressing T.
Speaker 19: I know, if this is boring, just hang with me.
Speaker 16: This is going somewhere absurd and hopefully you'll feel that
Speaker 16: the story has a good payoff.
Speaker 19: Or at least an interesting twist to it.
Speaker 16: So I can't type a capital T on the keyboard
Speaker 16: that came with the computer unless I hit caps lock
Speaker 16: and then hit the T key and then undo the
Speaker 16: caps lock and then go back to typing in lower case.
Speaker 19: You know, every other key on the keyboard.
Speaker 16: If I hold down shift and push that letter and
Speaker 16: makes a capital letter, that's how you do it when
Speaker 16: you type, But not with the T. For some reason,
Speaker 16: if I hold down shift and press T, it doesn't
Speaker 16: even make a lower case TA. It doesn't make any
Speaker 16: T at all. If I don't hold down shift, it
Speaker 16: will make a lowercase T. So the KEYT works the
Speaker 16: tkey rather, I said KEYT.
Speaker 19: The T key works.
Speaker 16: I believe I'm suffering from an adult onset dyslexia. But anyway,
Speaker 16: but I can't make a capital T using the shift key.
Speaker 16: So I message the seller. Right this is where it
Speaker 16: gets bizarre. I messaged the seller. I said, computer works
Speaker 16: okay so far, but there's a weird glitch with the
Speaker 16: keyboard that came with it. I am unable to type
Speaker 16: a capital T using the shift keys. The only way
Speaker 16: to do it is by turning on the caps lock.
Speaker 16: So so far, the T is the only key that
Speaker 16: is an issue. But I just started using it. This
Speaker 16: is the response I got from the seller.
Speaker 19: Check this out.
Speaker 16: I'm reading this to you verbatim. Thank you for reaching
Speaker 16: out to us. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please
Speaker 16: be informed that the caps lock key is used to
Speaker 16: make capital letters. The shift is more other tasks and
Speaker 16: is not used to capitalize letters. Let us know if
Speaker 16: you require further assistance. Let me read that one more
Speaker 16: time in case you missed any of that, just part
Speaker 16: of it. Please be informed the capslock key is used
Speaker 16: to make capital letters. The shift is more other tasks
Speaker 16: and is not used to capitalize letters. Now, I'm look,
Speaker 16: anyone who knows me at all.
Speaker 19: Knows that I'm a nice guy. I'm a nice person.
Speaker 16: I'm patient, I'm polite, probably too polite, sometimes polite to
Speaker 16: a fault. I'm a very diplomatic person. And when I'm
Speaker 16: corresponding with someone, whether I'm speaking with someone or I'm
Speaker 16: corresponding on the internet, I keep things very polite. And
Speaker 16: you know, because people often get angry and get too
Speaker 16: angry too quickly and so forth, that's not me.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 16: I'm assertive. I will assert myself, but I don't like
Speaker 16: I'm not somebody who gets mad and just starts typing
Speaker 16: angry things. I'm not that guy. I never have been,
Speaker 16: but I was mad when I read that. I was
Speaker 16: legitimately angry because it's like, I'm thinking, Okay, if you're
Speaker 16: gonna bs me because you don't want to solve the problem,
Speaker 16: just tell me. I'd rather you just write back and
Speaker 16: say we're not going to solve this for you. Fine,
Speaker 16: I'd rather you just tell me that. I'm perfectly capable
Speaker 16: of leaving you negative feedback on eBay and then just
Speaker 16: going and buying a keyboard because a keyboard is cheap.
Speaker 16: I mean, my god, I'd probably pick up a keyboard
Speaker 16: at Walmart for like ten fifteen dollars. I mean, they're
Speaker 16: that cheap. I just go buy a keyboard. So if
Speaker 16: you're not interesting and helping me, don't bs me. Just
Speaker 16: tell me now we're not going to solve this for you. Fine,
Speaker 16: I'll leave you negative feedback. I'll go buy a keyboard,
Speaker 16: go about my life. But no, they give me this nonsense.
Speaker 16: So I wrote back, and again I was angry. I
Speaker 16: wrote back in all caps. I wrote wrong, and then
Speaker 16: I wrote anyone who has ever typed anything knows that
Speaker 16: you hold down the shift key when you want to
Speaker 16: capitalize something. This keyboard does that. Also, by the way
Speaker 16: except when trying to make a capital T. Don't try
Speaker 16: to b s me like I'm an idiot because I
Speaker 16: was mad, because that's like the one thing I don't
Speaker 16: take from anybody again. I'm very chill, I'm very laid back.
Speaker 16: I'm an easy going person. Anyone who knows me personally
Speaker 16: will tell you I'm very easy to get along with.
Speaker 16: But the one thing I don't tolerate from anyone is
Speaker 16: when they try to talk to me like I'm stupid.
Speaker 19: Don't talk to me like I'm stupid. I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 19: I know how to type.
Speaker 16: I know that you hold down the shift key when
Speaker 16: you want to make a capital letter. And even if
Speaker 16: I were an idiot, I would still know that because,
Speaker 16: as I said in my message, anyone who has ever
Speaker 16: typed anything ever in their life knows that's how you type.
Speaker 16: I could not believe you don't use Please be advised,
Speaker 16: you don't use the shift key for that. That's for
Speaker 16: other things. I could not believe that. I was astonished,
Speaker 16: and I was I was mad. I was mad, So
Speaker 16: then I got back. Apparently, maybe in some instances it
Speaker 16: is good to just go ahead and get angry, because
Speaker 16: the response that I got was apologies for the inconvenience. Uh,
Speaker 16: please be informed that we have initiated the process and
Speaker 16: will be sending you a replacement keyboard. Please let us
Speaker 16: know how you would like to proceed, And I said,
Speaker 16: thank you, Yes, please send the replacement keyboard. So apparently
Speaker 16: they are now sending me a replacement keyboard. But I
Speaker 16: just I couldn't believe that, Like, no, you don't use
Speaker 16: the shift key for that, you know?
Speaker 13: Now?
Speaker 16: The only thing I do wonder about is is it
Speaker 16: possible that an actual human didn't write that. Is it
Speaker 16: possible that it's AI and that that was an AI
Speaker 16: generated response. But if that's the case, I don't know
Speaker 16: if that's better or worse than if an actual human
Speaker 16: being sat there and actually tried to tell me that
Speaker 16: you don't use the shift key to capitalize letters. I
Speaker 16: don't know what's worse. I don't know what's more concerning.
Speaker 16: But anyway, so that was my eBay saga. So got
Speaker 16: a refurbished computer by the way, just another quick plug.
Speaker 16: I think we're doing tough Bumps today at three pm
Speaker 16: Eastern time. Check it out online. If you're a wrestling fan.
Speaker 16: If you're not a wrestling fan, it's probably not for
Speaker 16: you anyway. Moving on, there was some music industry news
Speaker 16: A couple of couple of people passed away we should acknowledge,
Speaker 16: And this is from the AP. Two people and I
Speaker 16: think I think we mentioned this last night on Retrospectrum
Speaker 16: Radio with poly c But this is from the AP.
Speaker 16: Music revolutionaries sly Stone and Brian Wilson leave life's stage
Speaker 16: nearly simultaneously.
Speaker 19: They both just passed away this week.
Speaker 16: I'm not gonna read this whole article to you, but
Speaker 16: both were musical geniuses who paid a high price for
Speaker 16: their gifts. They burned bright with art they created at
Speaker 16: their peaks, and became more moving and meaningful with time,
Speaker 16: only to see their creative lights extinguished suddenly through mental
Speaker 16: health and addiction issues. Both were eighty two when they died,
Speaker 16: Stone on Monday and Wilson on Wednesday. By the way,
Speaker 16: I don't know if I should eat well. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 16: gonna go ahead and say it is anyone maybe AI
Speaker 16: wrote this article.
Speaker 19: I don't. I don't want to distract from.
Speaker 16: The fact that we just lost two musical revolutionaries, as
Speaker 16: is mentioned the AP title.
Speaker 19: But does anyone notice anything odd about that paragraph?
Speaker 16: Let me read that again, both were musical geniuses who
Speaker 16: paid paid a high price for their gifts. They burned
Speaker 16: bright with an art they created at their peaks and
Speaker 16: became more moving and meaningful with time, only to see
Speaker 16: their creative gifts extinguished suddenly through mental health and addiction issues.
Speaker 16: Both were eighty two when they died. Okay, never mind,
Speaker 16: I think I misunderstood that paragraph. So the way it
Speaker 16: was written, I kind of took it as the author
Speaker 16: of the article saying that that mental health and addiction
Speaker 16: issues caused them to pass away, when in fact they
Speaker 16: were both eighty two years old. And you know, but
Speaker 16: so I think it was old age. But but no,
Speaker 16: I realize now, I mean, I don't think it's I
Speaker 16: don't think it's as artfully written as it could have been,
Speaker 16: because it did cause me to misunderstand it a little
Speaker 16: bit the first time I read it.
Speaker 19: But but no, I understand.
Speaker 16: Then that, you know, I'm not going to read the
Speaker 16: whole thing this people in the article being quoted talking
Speaker 16: about talking about how strange a coincidence it is that
Speaker 16: they both died the same week, which is odd.
Speaker 19: I don't know why it's a strange coincidence, but anyway,
Speaker 19: a couple things about each of them, so there's a
Speaker 19: section here.
Speaker 16: Brian Wilson captured the California sound with his late brothers
Speaker 16: Carl and Dennis. Beach Boys co founder, Wilson was the
Speaker 16: architect of the California sound that captured surfing and sun,
Speaker 16: beaches and girls. Yet for all the fun, fun, fun,
Speaker 16: there was something much deeper and darker in Brian's abilities
Speaker 16: as a composer. It was more than disposable music for teenagers.
Speaker 16: He had an unparalleled melodic sense, hearing sounds in his
Speaker 16: mind that others couldn't. He could worm his way into
Speaker 16: your head and then break your heart with songs like
Speaker 16: in My Room and God only knows the tour to
Speaker 16: force good vibrations? Had anyone ever heard of the theorem
Speaker 16: in before he employed its unearthly wail is a symphony
Speaker 16: of both complex that both complex and easily accessible, and
Speaker 16: it goes on to talk about his career. Brian Wilson
Speaker 16: is a very interesting guy. Now, I'm not the biggest
Speaker 16: Beach Boys fan, but certainly a ton of respect for them.
Speaker 16: But I have a memory of my dad and I
Speaker 16: watched I don't know if he'll remember it.
Speaker 19: This was a long time ago.
Speaker 16: I was either still living at home or the time,
Speaker 16: or I might have moved out and was visiting. But
Speaker 16: I remember we ended up watching because it wasn't something
Speaker 16: we planned. It was kind of a spontaneous thing. But
Speaker 16: we watched a documentary and I don't even recall I
Speaker 16: don't remember the name of it. Again, it was a
Speaker 16: long time ago, and I don't even remember for sure
Speaker 16: if it was specifically about Brian Wilson, if he was
Speaker 16: the main focus, or if it was a Beach Boys
Speaker 16: documentary that just had a lot of Brian Wilson in it,
Speaker 16: because obviously it would right because he was such a
Speaker 16: key component of the Beach Boys. But Brian Wilson, it
Speaker 16: was a really interesting guy. But he did have a
Speaker 16: lot of mental health struggles and a lot of people
Speaker 16: took advantage of him. And but one of the interesting
Speaker 16: things about him was he was such a musical genius
Speaker 16: that he kind of took his own talent for granted
Speaker 16: in some ways. This specifically stands out in my mind.
Speaker 16: A family member of his might have been his daughter
Speaker 16: or somebody was at his home and he spontaneously sits
Speaker 16: at a piano and he writes something and it's really
Speaker 16: really good, and it so impresses the person who was
Speaker 16: there at his house hearing him compose this incredible song,
Speaker 16: who then said to him, you've got to write that
Speaker 16: down or like he creates this song and then he
Speaker 16: basically says it was getting late.
Speaker 19: He said, well, I got enough of that. I gotta
Speaker 19: turn in. I gotta go to bed.
Speaker 16: And then whoever it was who was there with him says,
Speaker 16: you've got to write that down or record that or something.
Speaker 16: Aren't you going to document what you just did? That's incredible.
Speaker 16: You have to save that, and and he just kind
Speaker 16: of shrugged and said, nah, there'll be another one tomorrow
Speaker 16: that's just as good, and he just goes to bed.
Speaker 19: But but that's that's how good he was.
Speaker 16: He could he could afford to even just take it
Speaker 16: for granted because he had an idea that was so
Speaker 16: impressive to this person who's in the room with him,
Speaker 16: and it didn't even it didn't even matter to him,
Speaker 16: because he's just like, well, there'll be another incredible idea tomorrow.
Speaker 19: What's the matter, Why is it even important? That's that's
Speaker 19: how good he was.
Speaker 16: We should also talk about sly Stone, of course, Uh,
Speaker 16: there's a part here I'll just read part of this
Speaker 16: Stone's skills came and creating a musical world that others
Speaker 16: only dreamed of at the time. The family Stone was
Speaker 16: an integrated world, black and white, men and women, and
Speaker 16: the music they created was a potent mixture of rock,
Speaker 16: soul and funk. If it made you move, it made
Speaker 16: you think. For a period of time from sixty seven
Speaker 16: seventy three, their music was inescapable.
Speaker 19: Dance to the music.
Speaker 16: Everybody is a Star, higher hot, fun in the summertime,
Speaker 16: sing a simple song family Affair, thank You. Their performance
Speaker 16: at Woodstock was a milestone, and then it goes on
Speaker 16: to talk about that he also suffered a period of
Speaker 16: drug abuse and so forth, which so many creative people do.
Speaker 16: And there's a part here about you know, their legacy
Speaker 16: and whatnot. I don't want to get into in all
Speaker 16: of it, because obviously you can read this for yourself
Speaker 16: online and there are many great tributes, and especially for
Speaker 16: Brian Wilson. I've seen a lot today just as I
Speaker 16: was preparing for the show, a lot online and for
Speaker 16: sly Stone as well. But you can read more about that.
Speaker 16: There's plenty of content on YouTube. You can check out
Speaker 16: talking about their respective legacies. But yeah, so we did
Speaker 16: lose two greats this week and wanted to take a
Speaker 16: moment to acknowledge that sly Stone and Brian Wilson. Let's see,
Speaker 16: there was also some interesting musical news this week, and
Speaker 16: this is something I wanted to talk about. We won't
Speaker 16: spend much time on it, but this was This is
Speaker 16: an article that just went up on Billboard yesterday. You know,
Speaker 16: obviously this show we talk about creativity. We talked to
Speaker 16: musicians and other people in the music industry. We love
Speaker 16: talking to creative people. I love interviewing creative people. But
Speaker 16: a subject that also seems to come up a lot
Speaker 16: on the show, not intentionally, but it just kind of
Speaker 16: works its way in is mental health. And we talk
Speaker 16: a lot about how music affects our mental health in
Speaker 16: a positive way, how people dealing with mental health issues,
Speaker 16: whether it's depression or or maybe trauma, all kinds of things,
Speaker 16: How people use and create art as a form of
Speaker 16: therapy in a sense to deal with with their issues.
Speaker 16: And so no surprise that a lot of creative people
Speaker 16: suffer from mental health issues of their own. There's a
Speaker 16: lot of depression, there's all kinds of things, anxiety and
Speaker 16: so forth. I got to take a gulp of my
Speaker 16: water here. My allergies has been terrible lately. But I
Speaker 16: thought this was interesting. You know, Spotify gets a lot
Speaker 16: of negativity in the music industry because they pay artists
Speaker 16: so little. But this I thought was a positive thing,
Speaker 16: so I wanted to highlight it again. This is from Billboard.
Speaker 16: Spotify partners with Backline to launch new global mental health
Speaker 16: resource hub. Supporting creators well being is essential sustaining a
Speaker 16: vibrant music ecosystem, says spotify is head of Social Impact,
Speaker 16: Lauren siegel Wergaft.
Speaker 19: So let's look at this briefly. Excuse me.
Speaker 16: It says Spotify is partnered with industry mental health nonprofit Backline,
Speaker 16: who I will confess. Excuse me, well, I will confess
Speaker 16: I'm not familiar with. I want to learn more about
Speaker 16: Backline to launch a global hub of mental health resources
Speaker 16: as part of their nascent iHeart and Soul Initiative, which
Speaker 16: I think we might have talked about on the show before.
Speaker 16: They're a Heart and Soul initiative officially dubbed Heart and
Speaker 16: Soul mental Health for creators. The new partnerships, He's Backline
Speaker 16: and Spotify joining forces to launch their global Mental Health
Speaker 16: Resource Hub, which aims to serve as a comprehensive support
Speaker 16: platform for industry professionals around the world. While Spotify first
Speaker 16: launched its Heart and Soul initiative in twenty eighteen as
Speaker 16: a way of providing support and deepening understanding of emotional
Speaker 16: well being amongst its employees, Backline first emerged in twenty
Speaker 16: nineteen to connect industry professionals and their family with mental
Speaker 16: health and wellness resources. Now just in time, in a sense,
Speaker 16: right right before the sorry, right before the onset of
Speaker 16: the pandemic. I'm gonna mute my mic for a second,
Speaker 16: Sorry about that. The new partnership sees Backline now expanding
Speaker 16: their services beyond US borders for the first time, serving
Speaker 16: as a response to the growing mental health crisis that
Speaker 16: affects industry workers, be it artists, touring crew, and industry
Speaker 16: professionals of all levels and locations. Hillary Gleeson, whose Backlines
Speaker 16: executive director and co founder, said in a statement quote,
Speaker 16: Backline is honored to serve as a steward of Spotify's
Speaker 16: investment into the creative community. Bringing our work to scale
Speaker 16: is a meaningful way to uplift the well being of
Speaker 16: artists all around the world. This collaboration is taking these
Speaker 16: individual mental health I'm sorry, these invaluable mental health and
Speaker 16: wellness resources beyond borders. Music knows no bounds, and now
Speaker 16: people who make music happen of access to care and
Speaker 16: compassionate community. Our work together will help ensure that artists
Speaker 16: have the resources, support and stability they need to thrive,
Speaker 16: both personally and professionally. The new initiative, we'll see backlines
Speaker 16: expanding their resources worldwide, including an international multi lingual database
Speaker 16: of trusted music industry and mental health support resources and
Speaker 16: crisis lines from around the world, and email concierge service
Speaker 16: that provides one on one support to aid individuals in
Speaker 16: navigating care options and mental health systems in their countries,
Speaker 16: and access to their free digital guide Mind and Music,
Speaker 16: a mental health guide for the music industry. Additionally, supports
Speaker 16: for songwriters and access to wellness events are included as
Speaker 16: a free therapy access for ambassadors of Spotify's Equal Glow
Speaker 16: and Radar programs. So they have other programs that are
Speaker 16: attached to this that also involve mental health.
Speaker 19: So this article goes on.
Speaker 16: It gets pretty detailed, but just you know, I wanted
Speaker 16: to touch on that briefly because again, I think that
Speaker 16: that's something positive and Spotify gets a lot of negativity
Speaker 16: in the music industry, and I'm not saying it's not
Speaker 16: well earned in some ways, right, but I'm not saying
Speaker 16: anything about I'm not really making any judgments about that.
Speaker 16: I just wanted to highlight something positive about that. So
Speaker 16: we might hit one other music industry story. And then
Speaker 16: if you are listening live on Saturday morning, coming up
Speaker 16: in the third hour, we have Soda and that's going
Speaker 16: to be very interesting. Of course, we've been spinning their
Speaker 16: brand new track Sunrise, which is really really good. The
Speaker 16: other thing is so something unfortunately a little more negative.
Speaker 16: But we've talked on the show over the past couple
Speaker 16: of years about ticketing and regulation, and we talk about
Speaker 16: live nation and price gouging and there, you know, all
Speaker 16: the things that go on in the music industry, some
Speaker 16: of the darker side of it. And I saw this
Speaker 16: pop up on Digitalmusicnews dot com, which is a great website,
Speaker 16: a great music industry website if you're interested in these issues.
Speaker 16: This just went up yesterday. More ticketing regulatory scrutiny, secondary
Speaker 16: platform shady reseller connections re emerge in BBC investigation. So
Speaker 16: this is something that's happening more across the pond. But
Speaker 16: these things can always have an effect globally if you
Speaker 16: don't know, and we've talked about it quite a bit.
Speaker 16: There was one segment where we kind of went in
Speaker 16: depth on this what is a secondary reseller market? Kind
Speaker 16: of funny because I was talking about eBay earlier, completely unrelated,
Speaker 16: but you know, because obviously on e if you purchase
Speaker 16: something on eBay, it's you know, a secondary market of
Speaker 16: sorts a different kind. But but when you're purchasing tickets
Speaker 16: on a secondary market, so you're not buying them necessarily
Speaker 16: from Live Nation or Ticketmaster, same company, but you might
Speaker 16: be buying say, for example, you go to Live Nation
Speaker 16: and something is sold out. You want to go to
Speaker 16: a show and it's sold out, but you might find
Speaker 16: tickets to that show from a available from a secondary reseller,
Speaker 16: which means another service that seems to have some of
Speaker 16: these tickets for a considerably higher price. So in other words,
Speaker 16: everyone's heard of scalping, so you might have a secondary
Speaker 16: service that bought in bulk some of these tickets when
Speaker 16: they first went on sale. So instead of the consumer
Speaker 16: having access to those tickets, this reseller bought them, and
Speaker 16: now this reseller is selling them at a fty profit.
Speaker 16: If that sounds shady and sketchy, I don't know that
Speaker 16: I necessarily have a moral or ethical objection from a
Speaker 16: capitalism standpoint, but I understand why people don't like it
Speaker 16: and why people think it's shady and sketchy. And what
Speaker 16: makes it even more shady and sketchy if you feel
Speaker 16: that way about it, which you certainly have a right too.
Speaker 13: Is that.
Speaker 16: Is that sometimes these secondary resellers are actually operated by
Speaker 16: Live Nation. In other words, they bought up Live Nation
Speaker 16: went and bought up some of these secondary resellers. So
Speaker 16: you might if live Nation has tickets on sale for
Speaker 16: a show and they give the secondary quote unquote secondary
Speaker 16: reseller that's actually a subsidiary of Live Nation some of
Speaker 16: those tickets. You know that doesn't feel very good to
Speaker 16: the consumer, does it Now that maybe you didn't know
Speaker 16: that before, and now you're learning that for the first time,
Speaker 16: and you're saying, wait a minute, I think I'm really
Speaker 16: getting screwed here. So we're not gonna have time to
Speaker 16: go into the full article because our guests are here
Speaker 16: for the third hour, and I'm really excited to get
Speaker 16: them in here. But if you want to check this out,
Speaker 16: it is up on digitalmusicnews dot com. Uh, because this
Speaker 16: is boiling up again and the BBC is investigating this
Speaker 16: over in the UK obviously you know the BBC if
Speaker 16: you're not familiar, but British Broadcasting Company or corporation. So
Speaker 16: the media is looking into it. This is not an arm,
Speaker 16: a regulatory arm of the government that's looking into this
Speaker 16: over there. But but there's all a lot that people
Speaker 16: don't realize about this and how it really works. And
Speaker 16: if you want to check it out digitalmusicnews dot com,
Speaker 16: you might learn something and you might be horrified by
Speaker 16: some of the things you learn about how this really works.
Speaker 16: But you know, the music industry, I mean there's a
Speaker 16: lot of there's some bad actors, shall we say, in
Speaker 16: the music industry. Well, let's put it that way, So
Speaker 16: you got to buyer beware.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 19: Okay, what we're gonna do is I think we're gonna.
