Alright folks and welcome to the Saturday Show Show. I am your host Brandon and I will be hanging
00:30-00:38
out with you for the next couple of hours here on the program. If you want to listen to us we
00:38-00:47

00:47-00:56
like X, Rumble, all that. But the best way to follow us of course is by downloading our app at
00:56-01:03
rockradio.live. Our website you can download the app there or listen to us there. We got a lot to
01:03-01:09
talk about today. We’re gonna get to a bunch of different stuff but first kicking it off with a
01:09-01:19
band that announced a new album which is coming out really soon. 6am. A life is beautiful here on
01:19-01:29
Helix Rock Radio. Shine down one of my favorite bands. I’ve been with this goes guys forever. I
01:29-01:37
would say in my opinion they were one of the best bands really to come out in that early 2000s era.
01:37-01:42
Them, Hinder, there was a bunch of them that really hit at that time that were really really good.
01:42-01:51
Definitely Future Hall of Famers. Speaking of the Hall of Fame, what is the point of the Rock and
01:51-01:59
Roll Hall of Fame fan vote? What is the point? I mean Fish One buy a landslide. Now I’m not a
01:59-02:07
big fan of Fish but as somebody who really was like I thought that was a determining factor
02:07-02:14
but I guess not. Fish One buy an overwhelming majority from the fans and they’re not even getting
02:14-02:22
in. Bad Company is, Chubby Checker is getting in. I’m glad they’re putting him in because he’s really
02:22-02:30
up there. I like to see him get in while he’s alive and not posthumously. Cindy Lauper’s getting
02:30-02:38
in. She deserves it. How Outcast is getting in before Fish surprises me. Soundgarden deserves it.
02:38-02:44
The White Stripes deserve it but they really couldn’t have fit in Fish. I mean after the
02:44-02:55
overwhelming fan affair, I don’t understand the point of the fan vote if they’re not going to
02:55-03:02
put those people in. I really don’t get it. What’s the point of having the fans vote then? Is it to
03:02-03:11
make us all feel like we’re getting a say in it? I don’t know. I really don’t. Next couple songs
03:11-03:16
we’re going to play. I’m not going to play Cindy Lauper. I’m not going to play Chubby Checker,
03:16-03:24
Outcast, stuff like that but I will play Bad Company, Soundgarden and White Stripes on here.
03:24-03:32
Kicking it off with Soundgarden here on Helix Rock Radio. Congratulations like I said to all the
03:32-03:39
inductees but we’re only going to play the Rock ones here but like I said people like Cindy Lauper,
03:39-03:45
Chubby Checker, those guys, Outcast even. They’re all deserving but they’re not a rock.
03:45-03:50
There’s actually been talks over the years of changing the name of it instead of the
03:50-03:55
Rock and Roll Hall fame to the Music Hall of Fame. I kind of hope they don’t do that but
03:55-04:03
there’s been talks about it for a while now so we will have to see. Also to news that I wanted to
04:03-04:12
get to, WWE obviously after the WrestleMania they always do around the layoffs. They laid off some
04:12-04:19
staff. They don’t disclose that information but they did lay off some talent from the list here.
04:19-04:25
Dakota Kai. My opinion the biggest one I was kind of surprised they let go. Braun Strowman again
04:25-04:30
let go. I kind of feel bad for that guy. It’s like the second time already. He’s going to become like
04:30-04:38
Ryback where you just keep getting let go. I feel bad for him. He’ll run the indies, he’ll do fine.
04:38-04:51
But let’s see Riley Osborn, Cora Jade, She’s Gone. Let’s see, Kaden Carter. The big ones at the top
04:51-04:58
though were Dakota Kai and Braun Strowman. And I also too want to bring up last weekend
04:58-05:05
TNA Rebellion. What a pay per view folks. First X division match we’ve seen in about seven years.
05:05-05:10
It was great. Some of the bit they did. If you haven’t watched it go back and check it out.
05:10-05:20
Seeing Moose and them trying to have Alicia Edwards climb up was pretty good. The controversial
05:20-05:27
finish was really good. Joe Henry’s match was really good. Swarff Strickland showing up. Just
05:27-05:36
an amazing pay per view. They had a great hardcore match. Really didn’t disappoint. Definitely TNA
05:36-05:46
feels like the TNA of old that I really came to love and enjoy. So if you haven’t watched it,
05:46-05:49
it is definitely worth it. And you don’t have to even buy the pay per view. If you want you can
05:49-05:55
subscribe for $9.99 to the app and then go ahead and watch it. Like I said, if you don’t want to
05:55-06:01
necessarily pay $30-40, subscribe to the app, watch it and then unsubscribe if you want.
06:01-06:09
And they also too have another event coming up. Rebellion. What does another one come up?
06:09-06:12
I don’t know what it’s called. But there’s another one coming up in a couple of weeks.
06:12-06:15
Special, it’s not a pay per view. It’s just a special event. Can’t get it off now. The new one.
06:15-06:23
League of Park Unshattered. Why is it that Marilyn Manson remakes seem to be better sometimes?
06:23-06:29
Recovers seem to be better than some of us other music. I don’t know. It just happens to be.
06:29-06:35
We got some other songs coming up for you next. I got a request for Like a Storm. I’m going to put
06:35-06:42
that up. That’ll be the next song I play. Let’s talk about some entertainment news. Kind of crazy.
06:43-06:52
Snow White. Biggest flop in Disney history. Gail Gadot played, of course, the villain in that.
06:52-06:59
It didn’t really do that well. It fell pretty flat. Largest flop in Disney history. Don’t
06:59-07:06
worry. They’ll make it up this weekend with the Thunderbolts. Another show that unfortunately
07:06-07:14
had a say goodbye to the Connors finale. After seven seasons, they had a six episode farewell.
07:14-07:21
Our episode the other day say goodbye. I thought that was pretty cool. I really,
07:21-07:25
really like the Connors. I was happy to see it come back a little bit. It was a good show. My
07:25-07:31
wife and I used to watch it together every week. Some other reports coming in from, you know,
07:31-07:38
Hollywood reporter and stuff like that. Jeremy Renner said he is not playing Hawkeye in the
07:38-07:45
second season. I guess they offered him half the money of the first season. He said, “I’m not
07:45-07:49
going to do the same amount of work for half the money because I got paid a lot for the last one.”
07:49-07:58
He pulled out, but they’re still moving on without him. I guess one of his speculations is that
07:59-08:04
he said because of the accident maybe he can’t do what he used to. Maybe that’s why.
08:04-08:08
I don’t know. We’ll have to, I mean, I’m sure they’ll still be good. They spent a whole season
08:08-08:13
building her, but it’s going to stink not to have him in it, but you know, they offered him half
08:13-08:20
the money and he said no. Another show that we’re going to have to, unfortunately, it’s not going
08:20-08:26
to have even an ending. They just canceled it based on a true story with Kaylee Cuoco
08:28-08:34
and Chris Messonana, if I butcher that, Messina and also the guy from Daredevil,
08:34-08:44
canceled after two seasons. The final episode obviously aired in April of last year and
08:44-08:52
they said no second season. So like I said, I did it earlier this year. Maybe it did air in the 15th
08:52-08:57
this year. I don’t remember, but either way, it’s not coming back and it really stinks. My wife and
08:57-09:03
I really liked that show. It was like a true crime show with a comedy twist because she’s known for
09:03-09:10
kind of her comedy and stuff like that and the way she is. It’s really upset. Her production
09:10-09:18
company produced it. I thought it was really good. My wife and I both liked it. I don’t know. It
09:18-09:24
seems like if it was maybe on a different, I don’t know. I think if it wasn’t on Peacock,
09:24-09:30
maybe it would have done better. But I don’t know. I thought it was good. I liked the first two seasons.
09:30-09:36
Kaylee is great. I loved her in the Big Bang. I loved her during this. I liked her in that other
09:36-09:46
Amazon movie where she played a secret agent stuff. I thought it was really good. It’s really
09:46-09:52
a shame, like I said. Traders got picked up for two more seasons. They’ll return for a fourth and
09:52-10:00
a fifth season. Reality TV always gets picked up for another season. Obviously, that will be back
10:00-10:07
for two more seasons. I know a lot of people that actually watch that show. Those kind of shows.
10:07-10:15
That’s going to be going to be back. Some other news as well. I thought it was interesting. Revenge
10:15-10:25
of the Sith. Obviously, they put it back in theaters because the 20th anniversary. It did
10:25-10:34
really well. People went out and saw it again. I thought that was really cool. Let’s see. 17 years
10:34-10:44
ago this weekend, Iron Man came out to the MCU. 26 years ago, SpongeBob made his debut on Nickelodeon.
10:44-10:55
Let’s see. What else do we have as far as entertainment news? Obviously, Thunderbolts
10:55-11:04
still out. Let’s also not forget Minecraft still in theaters, still making money. It’s got to be
11:04-11:11
over a billion dollars at this point. Here we go. Minecraft is the fifth highest-grossing
11:12-11:19
Warner Brothers film in history. Good for them, man. I know my kid wanted to see it. I brought
11:19-11:28
her to see it. It’s doing amazing in the theater. Good for them. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock
11:28-11:37
are returning for a new film 19 years later. No word yet on what the film is going to be if it’s
11:37-11:43
going to be another speed movie or what. I doubt it, but they are returning. Tons of entertainment
11:43-11:52
news this week. It’s just unbelievable. There’s been so much stuff coming out. You can tell it’s
11:52-11:58
summer blockbuster season. You really, really can. That’s when all the celebrity news gossip
11:58-12:04
comes out. Kick it off with Hailstorm. Love the way you hate me. Do you have a collection of

13:11-13:19
All right, Buck Cherry. One of my favorite bands. I really, they’re like, everybody says they’re
13:19-13:25
modern day glam rock. I don’t know. I just think they sound Pete. His voice is amazing. Speaking
13:25-13:30
of music, I just want to bring up something a couple of actually interesting kind of related
13:30-13:38
to music, I guess. Apple Music has announced that they are going to be taking an executive from
13:38-13:47
TikTok and bringing him to Apple Music as they want to update and make the Apple Music app more.
13:48-13:55
They said in line with today. So I think they understand everybody’s going to TikTok to find
13:55-14:02
new music or hopefully come to radio stations. But they are hiring somebody from TikTok
14:02-14:08
to modernize the app. Obviously, we all know Spotify did that quite a while ago.
14:08-14:16
I think Apple Music, they don’t release numbers anymore. But apparently, Apple Music is saying
14:16-14:22
they want to up their game a little bit. So with Apple Music, the interface to me does feel a little
14:22-14:29
bit old, a little bit outdated. It’s hard to find new music on there. I find it times where Spotify,
14:29-14:34
it’s easy to find new music. I really think that Apple is kind of one of those things. They’re kind
14:34-14:40
of stuck in their ways and they kind of need to update. But Apple does though have the Apple One
14:40-14:46
radio and stuff like that that they do a good job with. But they’re still behind on the new music
14:46-14:52
stuff. I know a lot of people that have both. They like Apple Music because of the lossless audio,
14:52-14:58
which Spotify still doesn’t do yet. But they like Spotify because it’s easy to find the new music.
14:58-15:02
It’s pretty crazy, I think, if you really think about it. I mean, if you think about it, Apple
15:02-15:08
pays new artists more than almost anybody. And yet people are having a hard time finding new music
15:08-15:17
on there. Apple, again, I feel at times Apple’s becoming that old, I don’t say old company,
15:17-15:23
but they’re kind of becoming that company. They’re a little behind with the Apple Music app now.
15:23-15:29
They’re behind on AI. They’re starting. They’re definitely not in any trouble yet, but they got
15:29-15:35
to definitely think about trying to stay ahead of the curve instead of playing catch up.
15:36-15:45
So another thing too with Spotify, which I thought was really cool, Spotify. Now, I guess
15:45-15:50
they finally, I guess them and a bunch of other people, Epic, finally won that lawsuit against
15:50-16:00
Apple now. So Apple has to allow them to have a way to charge their customers outside of the Apple,
16:02-16:08
outside of the App Store. So Spotify now is going to be able to, they’re going to start telling people,
16:08-16:13
hey, you can, you know, you don’t have to go through the App Store. You can pay us this way,
16:13-16:20
as well as, like I said, Epic’s doing that. They’re going to be doing Patreon and a bunch of apps.
16:20-16:26
Are they doing that? Because Apple takes a third. So a lot of these companies, especially on a
16:26-16:31
subscription service, I think on a subscription service, like 15%, I think, but still 15%,
16:32-16:37
versus like 4%, 5% doesn’t sound like much. But when you multiply that by how many customers
16:37-16:42
Spotify has and how many customers people like Patreon and stuff like that. And thinking about it,
16:42-16:47
too, this is creators. I mean, Epic is a different story. I mean, yes, they’re game creators, but
16:47-16:57
you know, Spotify and Patreon don’t pay their content creators as great as they could.
16:58-17:04
And now on top of it, they got to pay what they call the Apple tax, you know, so it’s good to see
17:04-17:15
that also related to rock news. Spotify had to remove system of a down to talk six to the toxicity
17:15-17:23
album from their platform. No word on why yet, but I’m sure we will find out eventually.
17:24-17:32
Spotify doing OK for sure. They announced their earnings the other day. Their their premium,
17:32-17:38
which is, you know, the paid for one, which is where you pay for, you know, no ads, you know,
17:38-17:45
they went up 5%. That’s a lot. When you think how many I think what does Spotify have like 750
17:45-17:54
million listeners? And I think they said like a couple bills. I forget what it is. It’s a ridiculous
17:54-18:00
number. I think they have 700 million. And I think they said a third of that pay for it,
18:00-18:08
which is like a couple billion. And they they got another 5% on premium. So Spotify is doing fine.
18:08-18:13
But I will say this, Spotify is going to be in a weird spot in a bunch of years. And I’ll tell you
18:13-18:22
why, because just like Netflix and people like Facebook and stuff like that, you know, you can
18:22-18:31
only sign up so many people before you kind of run out of people to sign up. And I think that
18:31-18:36
that eventually will happen with Spotify. I think Spotify has more to grow than like Netflix,
18:36-18:45
just because I think everybody listens to music where people may or may not need Netflix. So
18:46-18:53
like I said, I think Spotify is positioned a good place. You really can’t buy music as easily as
18:53-18:59
you used to. I think that subscription model of, you know, pay this and you have a subscription
18:59-19:05
user. I think that’s pretty much here to stay. That’s the de facto norm. We actually we have,
19:05-19:12
I mean, if you’re a radio station, you can buy music and stuff like that for the station. But it’s
19:13-19:20
not as easy for the consumer as it used to be. So Spotify is positioned well. But there will be a
19:20-19:25
point where they will max out where you can only sign up so many people. It’s gonna, I think it’ll
19:25-19:34
take a while yet. But you know, but I will say when you look at Spotify’s earnings, you know,
19:34-19:39
you really take a look at the majority of the money gets paid by the people that pay for it.
19:40-19:45
The people that get it for free, the ad supported, they make, you know, a few hundred million. But
19:45-19:49
when you look at the people that are paying for it, the third of us that pay
19:49-19:55
are the ones that are, you know, keeping them in business with the billions of dollars of revenue.
19:55-19:59
But I think that’s anyway, you know, that’s public rate. We’re talking about, we obviously
19:59-20:06
were on the radio, but talking about public radio, what the 10% of people that pay for public radio
20:06-20:11
pay forever. The other 90% that listened to it for free. Wasn’t that, isn’t that the old saying
20:11-20:20
in public broadcast radio? We got a story about that as well. Kikkerlof now hinder better than me.
20:20-20:29
Great song by Amy Lee and Cether. She has a documentary coming out on, well,
20:29-20:38
Evanescence does, but coming out in 2026, Netflix announced, I think, 2026, so it is disturbed.
20:38-20:48
So my little Dotson has joined me here in the studio. Apparently he needed my attention.
20:48-20:54
But speaking of that, one of the things I wanted to bring up since I was talking about my dog,
20:54-20:58
the Dotsons, if you don’t know what they are, they’re the wiener dogs, the saucers, the hogs,
20:58-21:07
the little stubby legs and the long body. Apparently there was a record breaking attempt
21:07-21:18
this past week for the most Dotsons in one place. The current record is 1175. Unfortunately,
21:18-21:28
they only had 897 show up and that was in Hungary. Apparently, German and Hungary, apparently these
21:28-21:34
dogs are rather popular over there. They’re the number one breed over there. And I didn’t realize
21:34-21:44
in 1972, a Dotson named Walde, who was dressed in rainbow colors, was the first official mascot in
21:44-21:51
the history of the Olympic summer games. So they didn’t break the record for the most Dotsons in
21:51-21:58
one place. But I’m sure, you know, there’ll be another attempt, I’m sure. We’ll have to see. But
21:58-22:03
like I said, we have a Dotson. We love him. He’s cute. He’s a miniature. He’s only about seven
22:03-22:10
or eight pounds. They do have the medium and then the largest. But we have the mini Dotson. And
22:10-22:16
he’s in a handful as a little guy. These dogs actually have big front feet that are designed
22:16-22:21
for digging. They’re actually, they said to be hunting dogs. I mean, I don’t picture that, but
22:21-22:27
apparently these little guys can dig and go after like rabbits, moles, stuff like that.
22:27-22:37
The other reason I wanted to bring that up was because Korn’s Jonathan Davis has released a
22:37-22:46
line, they call it a luxury collection of collars and leather harnesses, vests, all this kind of
22:46-22:54
stuff for dogs. And it’s all based on, you know, Korn’s kind of style and stuff like that. So
22:54-22:59
I thought that was pretty cool. The other thing too, I thought that was pretty interesting. We were
22:59-23:06
talking about Kelly Cuoco before from obviously based on a true story, Big Bang, stuff like that.
23:06-23:12
She has her own line of pet products where it’s all natural and stuff like that. And she actually
23:12-23:16
admits to testing the products on herself to make sure they’re safe for dogs and stuff like that.
23:16-23:23
So, and she’s really into rescue and stuff like that. I think she has her own farm and stuff like
23:23-23:29
that. I mean, she can afford it. John Stewart’s as well from The Daily Show is into all that kind
23:29-23:36
of stuff, pet rescue and things of that nature. So that’s pretty cool. I also wanted to say too,
23:36-23:42
we were talking about public broadcast before the music, apparently, and I’m not being political here,
23:42-23:51
but apparently they are saying funding could be cut to public broadcast, NPR, places like that.
23:51-23:57
I mean, I’m sure a lot of people, there’s still a lot of people that do listen to public radio.
23:59-24:04
I mean, there’ll be other radio stations that could take over. I’m not worried about that.
24:04-24:12
But I hate to see stuff like, you know, big, you know, stuff like Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers,
24:12-24:20
things of that nature go away. I think if I’m not mistaken, HBO has been one of the people
24:20-24:26
who bought the archives of Sesame Street to kind of help PBS and stuff like that out.
24:27-24:31
I know they have a bunch of other shows as well, Reading Rainbow, things like that with
24:31-24:37
educational stuff for children. I hope that doesn’t go away. We’ll have to say maybe
24:37-24:44
HBO or Disney or one of those will maybe at least pick up the archives, even if they don’t make new
24:44-24:50
shows, pick them up. I know HBO has been really good about even though they bought the archives,
24:50-24:56
they still make some of it available for free on PBS. And I think that’s great.
24:57-25:02
Like I said, I hope like I said, if the public radio goes away, there’s a million other radio
25:02-25:09
stations out there. Like I said, I’m not worried about that. I just hate to see that great educational
25:09-25:16
content go away that so many smaller school districts and private schools and stuff that
25:16-25:23
maybe don’t have the funding used for the kids. So that would be a shame. We’ll have to see what
25:23-25:31
happens. Default Wasting My Time, one of my favorite Nickelback songs. They actually said in
25:31-25:40
their documentary that if they don’t do Rockstar one night, I mean people get really, really upset
25:40-25:48
about that. So I thought that was pretty, pretty darn funny. I do want to point out I am a huge,
25:48-25:56
recently of the last couple of years became a huge, huge James Bond fan. And apparently there
25:56-26:05
have been a lot of rumors and talks about who could be the next Bond now that Amazon bought it
26:05-26:12
from the original owners who have owned it since like the 70s. Aaron Taylor Johnson, the guy that
26:12-26:24
was just in that movie, Craven, which unfortunately didn’t do that well. So I don’t know if he’s still
26:24-26:34
in the running or not. He has been widely rumored as the front runner to be the new James Bond.
26:34-26:42
Like I said, with a flop like he just had, I’m not sure, but we’ll have to see what happens with him.
26:42-26:50
Also to the other big one that he was in the running, but they’re saying with Batman now,
26:50-26:56
maybe not. He might not have time in the schedule is Robert Pattinson from Twilight.
26:56-27:06
And then there was just a big article the other day in Men’s Journal that James Bond possibly
27:07-27:18
could be Tom Hardy. I could see that possibly. So he is also apparently in the running as well.
27:18-27:24
So we will, like I said, we got to see, I wish they would just see the problem is they got to
27:24-27:32
lock it down and you got to be tied in for a couple of movies. I mean, most Bonds do at least four
27:32-27:40
or five movies at least. So we’ll have to really see. Usually they get somebody that’s like in
27:40-27:47
their late, you know, their late 30s, early 40s, and then they stay on for, you know, for 10 years
27:47-27:52
because you’re going to do four or five, three, four, five movies. So unless of course you’re
27:52-28:01
Sean Connery and do seven of them, I would like to see there’s talks about possibly
28:02-28:06
bringing back some of the older Bonds maybe for cameos and stuff like that.
28:06-28:12
Pierce Bronson has said he’s interested. Daniel Craig has said he’s interested.
28:12-28:17
You know, that would be fun. Like I said, maybe they don’t have to star in it, but it’d be nice
28:17-28:24
to see because the it’s always been the theory that 007 James Bond is an alias for whoever is the
28:24-28:32
main guy, you know, guy for MI6. So they’ve always said it’s an alias. That’s why the joke is always
28:32-28:42
been that the the last James Bond that Sean Connery played was actually the rock in with Nicholas Cage
28:42-28:50
because he, you know, he was 007, but he just wasn’t using his 007 moniker. You know, that was
28:50-28:57
supposed to be like his final James Bond, I guess it’s been the joke about it. So like I said, I’m
28:57-29:02
a huge Bond fan. Would love to see who they pick as the new James Bond. I wish they would tell us
29:02-29:08
already. Like I said, I’m a huge Bond fan and I’m curious to know who they’re going to pick.
29:08-29:19
Like I said, I hope that Amazon is as stringent and as picky as the original owner is. Obviously,
29:19-29:25
it’s going to come down to, you know, a lot of things age, money, availability,
29:25-29:30
how they’re going to do it. There’s no talk if they might be a movie might be a series. We don’t
29:30-29:38
know yet. We’ll have to see. New one out by Hailstorm. Darkness always wins here on Helix Rock
29:38-29:45
Radio. I really like Disturbed. I always did. They’re one of my favorite bands. If you haven’t,
29:46-29:53
you can’t tell because I play them as much as I can. So speaking of one of the bands that I
29:53-29:59
grew up with, I think a lot of us did, they’ve kind of faded from their bright star, but they’re
29:59-30:07
still around. They’re still making new music. Puddle the Mud. Apparently, Wes went to a Jiffy
30:07-30:14
Lube the other day and started blasting his music and went viral online, promoting their new single.
30:15-30:23
Here on, well, not here, but at the Jiffy Lube. We’ll play it next for you. Butimus. I always
30:23-30:27
liked Puddle the Mud. They’re always one of my favorite. I remember when Control and all that
30:27-30:32
came out. They had a lot of big hits even after that, but I thought it was one of my favorite bands.
30:32-30:42
Want to play a clip from something that somebody sent me from Insta. Apparently, Margot Robbie is a
30:42-30:49
massive Slipknot fan. She had this to say, I guess, the other day on a show. Yeah, so it was a pretty
30:49-30:58
cool clip. I guess she made the comment in early April that she was a big fan of Slipknot and,
30:58-31:05
I guess, or something along that line, and they managed to get it over to us. Pretty cool. Slipknot.
31:06-31:13
Dual Duality. All right, event sevenfold. Almost easy. One of my favorite bands. I play them as
31:13-31:21
much as I can here. By the way, I would like to point out next song I’m going to play Static X.
31:21-31:35
Release this single on this day in 2002. It’s called Cold, again, by Static X. That is one of my
31:35-31:42
wives, a favorite band, Static X. I like them. I like them. They’re not my favorite, but I do
31:42-31:49
like them. But trust me, I hear them plenty in her car. I do want to bring up a couple of things
31:49-31:56
that I was told I was supposed to mention, but I didn’t. Apparently, WWE, Corey Graves, and
31:56-32:03
Carmella expecting baby number two. So good for them. I like him as an announcer. I really do.
32:04-32:11
I mean, is he the best announcer WWE’s ever had? No. But I do think he’s a pretty good
32:11-32:16
announcer. I compare it to some of the other people they’ve had. I really like him. The other guy
32:16-32:23
that I really enjoy as well is Booker T. I wish they wish he’d be on commentary more. I do like
32:23-32:29
Booker T on commentary. I think he’s really good. Also, too, something else I wanted to point out.
32:30-32:41
I actually read this in apparently Forever 21 is apparently going bankrupt and closing all 372
32:41-32:46
stores. They’re going bankrupt. So the reason why I’m bringing that up is normally they will
32:46-32:55
have tons of sales and will try to get rid of their merchandise. So is the website still up? I
32:55-33:00
think it still is up. I think it was. It was up when I checked the other night, Forever 21. They
33:00-33:08
had massive sales going on on the website. Yeah, it’s still up. It says notice to our valued customers.
33:08-33:16
Important stores will remain open for the time being until we fulfill orders.
33:17-33:25
And then eventually will be closed. They’re filing chapter 11. I mean, it’s getting harder and
33:25-33:34
harder to have mall stores anymore, especially in this day and age. I know I have daughters and
33:34-33:40
my wife and them they like to go to the mall. I think the bigger malls will be fine, but the
33:40-33:46
smaller malls and clothing stores and stuff are just becoming harder and harder in malls. It’s
33:46-33:52
just the way it is. But I thought, like I said, I was I mean, they’re gonna be I can guarantee you
33:52-33:56
they’re gonna be auctioning off a ton of their stuff. Surprisingly enough, do you know what
33:56-34:03
still does good in malls? Shoe stores, clothing stores, not as much, but shoe stores do well.
34:03-34:12
You don’t see too many game stops anymore. Music stores, some still. It really depends on the mall
34:12-34:18
and all that. I know, like, you know, the more high end malls do fine. But some of those other
34:18-34:24
malls, it’s tough, man. Sporting good stores usually still do well and things like that. But
34:24-34:31
malls are tough business nowadays. A rhyme motionless and white. Demon into dreams,
34:31-34:36
obviously, Rhea Ripley’s theme song from WWE. Obviously, before that’s Fire Burns, we’ll see
34:36-34:45
on punks like 10 15 no more than like 17 18 years ago. By the way, I will have to I will be leaving
34:45-34:50
you unfortunately shortly. But I want to thank you all for listening and hanging out with me on
34:50-34:58
Saturday night here on the Saturday shit show. I want to thank you very much. I will be leaving you
34:58-35:07
