Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. Happy Friday. Coming at you with a 2020-2021 Panini Prison Basketball Break. Two box, random team break number 17. No vet comments ship in this. Everyone gets two random teams and basketball, some excellent stuff in this prism hoops. Big thanks to these three people right here. Guillermo, Cameron, and Blair in on the action. Nice. And all teams of course are in. So let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Two out of three, five times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, and fifth and final time. After five, we've got Blair down to Blair. Two out of three, five times for the teams. One, two, three, and fifth and final time. After five, we've got the Portland Trail Blazers all the way down to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nice. All right, so maybe the easiest way to go about this is just say that Blair has a very big chunk of these teams except for the Warriors. All right, maybe some James Weisman's in there. The Sixers. Cameron has my Lakers. Guillermo has a Thunder. There you go. Everything except for those right there. All right, so Guillermo with the Thunder, the Warriors, the Sixers, and the Cavs. Cameron with my Lakers and the Grizzlies. Blair has the rest, including the Timberwolves and the Charlotte Hornets. So pretty nice draw. Any trades? Maybe? We'll pause the video. We'll give it a little bit of a trade window. Let's sort by column B by team. Let's box these up. I grabbed two random boxes from the back. Remember, I wrote RT on them so we know they're from the same case. I'm gonna pause the video. When we come back, we're gonna see if there's any trades and then the break. Stick around. All right, welcome back everybody. No deals were done. It's all good here in break number 17. Right there on Friday. Happy Friday everybody once again. Thanks for spending a bit of your weekend with us. We appreciate that. There we go. There is Blair by proxy slab. What's going on? Yeah, that's the plan. He put in the work. Slab talking. Now hopefully these boxes will cooperate with him as well. And ladies and gentlemen, the next two boxes are in the store. If you want to go chase some nice prism hits out of here, we got pick your teams available as well. You want to get that done. In fact, pick your team 17 is sold out in a way. We're just going to move a couple blaster boxes to give away the remaining teams and we'll make that happen. Robert, what time will we be doing contenders, optic football, two and three? I have no idea. No clue. I don't have a crystal ball. Depends on how fast everyone wants to fill it. People could fill it up right now and we can do it as soon as this breaks over. Frankly, that question I could pose to everyone watching right now. When do you want to break contenders, optic football, ladies and gentlemen? When do you want to do that? Because you control the show, not me. I'm just a guy. There's a Tyrese Halliburton. So most of these are going to go to Blair unless I say otherwise. So Tyrese Halliburton, yeah, King's Blair with that one. What's the mini golf tab on the Excel sheet? I discovered that, huh, Avery? That's if I ever win the lottery, I'm going to put a lot of that money towards a natural grass miniature golf course. So it will be maintained just like Augusta National, right? You have to wear golf shoes the whole nine, right? But it'll be a natural grass miniature golf course. Complete with a custom built windmill, maybe some taxidermied alligators or crocodiles, or you hit a mini golf into their into their mouth. There's Cassius Winston for Blair and the Wizards and do all of that, right? Build a castle miniature golf course, Ilyasova. It'll be a really fancy miniature golf course. There's Anthony Edwards. So on the spreadsheet on the break schedule is where I, we haven't talked about in a while, but we're all jot down ideas, if any. Anthony Edwards, your number one overall pick, going to Blair. Jeff, you want to be my, you want to be my greenskeeper? Sure. Yeah, the idea is to maybe have a few different, I guess maybe three or four different, what would miniature golf courses have? Three, three or four different, like nine, nine holes, three different versions. And so each version would be like themed, right? So maybe there'll be one where you're going through a jungle and one with like a desert theme and one with like a medieval theme or something like that. I haven't figured that part out yet. There's LeBron for the Lakers. That's Cameron. I think that's still like a hundred dollar card right there. The silver ones is really what we're looking for. If we get that silver LeBron, that's, that's really where the money is. That's not a bad card. Avery loves the idea. Cynthia, you want to be a drink card? But yeah, we'll have jobs available for everybody, Cynthia. You can be the drink card girl, whatever. We'll see the room for advancement. So like if people are paying for like, like think about top shot, top golf. Think about top golf. If people are paying for, for that kind of thing, you know, surely they would, they would pay for it.  There'll be alcohol involved. Maybe in the middle of the, of all the courses, we'll put like a little, little DJ area. You know, maybe, maybe have some, have some live music performed in the middle so you can hear live music throughout the golf course while you're miniature golfing. Right? It's called Anthony Hyper. Nice. So yeah, it'd be a lot of fun. Most likely located in Vegas. Oh yeah, Mike Tower. We'll absolutely have a mini train running not around through the property, around the property. There'll be, there'll be a little miniature train that goes through and around the property. Most likely be in Vegas. I feel like that's like a Vegas-y thing to do. It's to, it's to, it's to spend money on a natural grass miniature golf course. There's Shake Milton. Shaking it up. Guillermo with the Sixers. Eric, what's up? Um, oh, next week's NT will most likely be a majority of it will be pick your team like we usually do. Maybe there'll be a random team. I'm not sure how we're planning that, but I think they'll mostly be pick your teams. There's James Harden, Blue Ice for Blair, Blue Williams, Jimmy Butler. Yappier is saying that, uh, Padres activating Trent Grisham. Trent Grisham back. There's DJ Augustine, Kawhi Leonard. By the way, the vet commons that do ship are LeBron, Yannis, Zion, Luca, and John Moran for these random team breaks. In the pick your team breaks, all card ship, and a silver Patrick Williams. Nice. Bowls, Blair. Oh, hi RTR. Same person though. Nice. He's pretty solid. The centering actually is a lot better on this card than I've seen in a lot of other ones. Could be, could be a good one there. It's Josh Hart, it's $2.99. What's a stadium golf, Jeff? A drink train could deliver drinks. Mike Tower, maybe on the train. You could, you could order it. I don't know how that would work, but maybe you order it and then it'll, it'll be available to you at hole number seven or whatever. I don't know. I'll have to figure, I'll have to figure out the details there and there's Nicola Jokic to 60 here, LeBron James prism. I want to figure it out, but I think I can make it work. I have to check out the 1980 mini golf championships on YouTube. I feel like I've gone down this rabbit hole before doing mini golf research. All right, that was box one. Here's the second one. Yeah, I remember it being pretty intense. I'll have to work on some course design, but, but I'll figure it out.  I'll probably buy a windmill from the Netherlands and have that shipped over an authentic windmill. It'll be all sorts of great stuff. Yeah, Mike Tower. Maybe I should do that. I should pay off a congressman to get a golf course included in the latest infrastructure build. That'd be good. I probably could bribe him with a couple boxes of this. I'll just be like, what are these for? Nothing. Nothing. Just, just a, just a couple boxes of prison basketball for you. Congressperson, you know, maybe post a note on top of it saying maybe, maybe some tax breaks for people building natural grass mentor golf courses. Not no big deal. I was Jonathan. No, it's done. We're done with tribute. Everyone sold it out. It was a little bit of a slow start, but we finished strong on knocking all that out. Other LeBron James right here. Nice. There you go, Cameron. Steph Curry and that retro prism design for Guillermo and the Warriors and James Weisman. Nice. Yes. Then I would finally be able to say, Senator, I'll give you my answer now. Brandon Clark Mojo to 25 for the Grizz. I think Grizz is, there's also Cameron. There you go, Cameron. Right. I'm not paying the, the gaming commission fee, Senator. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't have any more, John. If we did, we'd obviously have it posted on the site. There's Victor Oladipo to 125, Pacers Blair, the Denny Avigia Blair, I think still has some upsides. A little bit of a slow start to his NBA career, but I think he could be one to, one to keep an eye on. There's Wiggins. There's a nice silver Kauai Leonard in that retro prism design. This could go, go pretty well on a secondary market. The base versions do okay. The silver ones, especially Blair and the Clippers. Manuel quickly having a great season. Nick's being the playoff would be hashtag good for the hobby. All those youngsters on that team and a silver Aaron Naysmith and a blue Anthony Edwards. Nice out of 199. Blair with the T Wolves. I'm going to cover a good chunk of the spots here. Silver Naysmith also going to Blair. We got another two box break for this in the store folks. Last two boxes of the case and then the next two box random team break after that will be from a fresh case. There's Michael Bridges red and he reveals a Tyrese Halliburton. There you go, Blair. Nice rookie auto Blair Burson and the Sacktown Kings. Cole Anthony also a slow start for him, but I feel like possible upside there as well. Michael Bridges, Suns playing excellent basketball. That's two 99. Caleb Martin. These red waves are not numbered, but of course they will ship. Clay Thompson, Silver, Karis Laverde, Paul George. All right. And our final autograph behind Jabari Parker, Purple Ice is going to be Maxi Kleber for Blair and Dallas. Nice gold as well, that golden blue. Some UCLA colors there. It looks really nice. It's a good color combo there. That must be out of 10. Yeah, 10 out of 10. There you go, Blair with Dallas. A few more cards here Jabari Parker, Purple Ice for Sacramento. That's to 175.  Another nice two box break of prison basketball in the books. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. Happy Friday. I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.


Some have pointed with justifiable pride and called him the new breed of fighting man But if breeding is to be consistent if it's to mean anything Then this is the same man that what a shore at Iwo Jima glottal canal in China and Only yesterday at the Batongan Peninsula in South Vietnam History has dictated few changes in the life of the United States Marine His primary mission is still the winning of the battle The battle is the culmination of months and years of preparation Suddenly all of those seemingly small isolated moments of rigorous training are funneled into a few days a few hours when mobility firepower and leadership Must take on a definitive pattern within the framework of a calculated risk a Pattern that not only acknowledges the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy But also the time and the place where he can be defeated The time oh six thirty September the seventh 1965 Mission operation piranha a four-day search and destroy action by combined United States and Vietnamese military forces Against a suspected stronghold of 2,000 vietcong gorillas on the twin peninsulas of Batongan and on key 20 miles south of July For the man of the first battalion seventh regiment this was the sort of operation for which all Marines are qualified born of time Necessity and circumstance and Nurtured to near-perfection under fire during the Pacific campaign of World War two The amphibious assault has become the trademark of the Navy Marine Corps team a symbol of their role in America's combat readiness But even before the first battalion had begun to assemble at its debarking stations at sea The men of the third battalion seventh were forming up into copter of portion sticks Reloading at a hastily constructed helipad near the outskirts of July This was the vertical envelopment doctrine in operation Utilizing three centrally controlled helicopter squadrons the men of the third battalion were airlifted to landing zone oak Strip the elevated ground running across the twin throats of Batongan and on key From here they would act as a blocking force to the retreating vietcong as the first battalion began its push from the beach With the completed landing of the first wave of Marines 16 of the choppers broke away from landing zone oak and sped 10 miles south to the Republic of Vietnam stronghold at Quangai There they began the hella lift of two Vietnamese battalions to landing zones Pine and Virch Located on the far side of the song chow mein dong river By oh nine forty five The vertical envelopment was completed and the stranglehold across the wind pipes of Batongan and on key Stretched for a full eight miles By late morning advanced marine patrols had already moved in from the beach to their first objectives And others formed up ready to follow on the outskirts of villages like chow mein one Civilians were quickly gathered together for safe transportation behind the marine lions and as they moved off The Marines stopped small groups and asked the same question over and over again Where are the vietcong? The answer that came back was always the same They're gone. They left before you came The expected vietcong resistance at the beaches had never materialized And now even further inland only scattered sniper fire broke This was the penalty that the Marines had to pay for their own efficiency The very strength of United States firepower that had won so many victories in the past had driven the vietcong to cover or full retreat The possibility of any single big contact was going to be harder and harder to come by As night fell on their first day ashore the Marines dug in and waited Finally the word came back Only four vietcong killed six captured 48 suspects being held It was evident that an old familiar pattern of battle was taking shape The Marines had seen it before at places like Iwo Jima, Saipan and Guadalcanal Three of the four vietcong killed on the previous day had been flushed from a cave This could mean only one thing The vietcong were there all right, but they'd have to be dug and blasted out One key to the search and destroy operation was the jet hot pad at Chulal Standing on strip alert Marine attack jets were only minutes away from a platoon leader's radioed call for an airstrike With almost any lethal combination of weapons he might want or need from 20 millimeter aircraft cannon and high-velocity rockets or bombs to Bullpup missiles for the first time in Marine Corps history Control of the air support elements was handled by Marines circling above the battlefield at 18,000 feet In the past the DASC or direct Air Support Center during such operations has been located on a communication ship lying offshore This time a KC Hercules was outfitted to do the job It's crews monitored requests from ground forces and assigned aircraft to requested strike areas But if the innovations of the jet airstrike and DASC were important to the success of the piranha campaign The backbone of the attack was still the man on the ground the man with the singular philosophy embodied in the words leadership and discipline Combat is a test of courage and endurance a forced inbreeding that teaches the individual to respond to a command under any condition It's a disciplined struggle for life Hinging upon the absolute control of those who command and the unswerving loyalty of those who follow By the end of the second day the Marines had confirmed 70 vietcong killed four captured By the end of the third day the vietcong resistance was broken one by one the caves were opened up and the enemy rotted out When the smoke had cleared over one hole the Marines discovered to their amazement a limestone cavern over six feet high and 250 feet long Healed it up the bodies of 66 dead vietcong At that time it was the largest single kill made by the Marines since their arrival in vietnam By September the 10th. It was all over Batangan and Anki were secure four-day total 198 vietcong killed 38 enemy captured 265 vc suspects detained the cost One Marine dead eight wounded While several elements of the Marine assault team were being withdrawn to another battle area west of Danang Others remained behind For while the Marines had completed their primary mission had won the battle there was still a further American responsibility the villagers needed food medical supplies and continuing protection They needed assurance that they were realizing the beginnings of justice For without justice Security and self-dependency would never arrive All Americans in vietnam both military and civilian know there's more than a fighting mission for them in their support of the embattled Republic of vietnam They have heard and understand the words of president Johnson who said a Nation cannot be built by armed power or by political agreement It will rest on the expectation by individual men and women That their future will be better than their past When the final battle is won in vietnam


COSM right here. I am going to copy this and then we're gonna post this to the room guys So this is the COSM And I'm gonna show you what looks like in the chat room guys hold on so this is part of the corporate actions email that if you are part of Success trader they they send it out so When you woke up that morning COSM is a 25 to 1 reverse split guys And so you do the math That's the break even so eight dollars after the reverse split And so what happens this guys when they do a reverse split a lot of these a lot of the brokers you have like a Mary trade They do not They do not give you that shares right away to sell because it takes a day or so for the transfer agent to change the cusp ID And so what happens is your shares get locked and this is a this back in the day when I was training penny stocks guys This was a huge huge edge for me. It was a huge edge because I was trained with direct access broker Brokers like just like you know a success rate. That's one of them direct access So basically I get the shares beforehand. It's up to me. It's up to me to Manage my position if it's right or wrong, I take the loss I cannot blame them for giving my shares too early, right? Because let's say I hold I'll make it for some simplicity reasons, right? 2500 shares 2500 shares of COSM the day before the split and so after 25 to 1 back 2500 divided by 100. I should only have 250 shares. Wait, is that right? 1000 shares. I'm sorry 25 to 1 so let's say to make it easy. Let's say I have 25,000 shares Let's say I have 25,000 shares as a 25 to 1 reverse split. So I need to divide that by 25 So I I only should have a 1000 shares right guys 1000 shares Post-split adjusted. Okay 25 reverse split.  Something's wrong. They did not do the reverse Adjustment.  I'm rich not only the price of eight bucks at 25 times of it So, oh my god I went from a tiny position at 33 cents to a ginormous game.  I don't know it was a set up whatever now We realize it's a was a set up for sure because you know why COSM did an offering yesterday they didn't offering so they they screwed everybody This was a complete set up guys is totally legal totally legit. They set you up and you fell for it Okay, so all those smart guys I thought they had some insider information that they thought that they were being cute by doing big-time shorting because what happens is a lot of these Back of the day guys Reverse splits are very bad Reverse splits means that the company is doing shitty They need to put their prices above one dollar or to have some sort of Mac There's a bunch of rules for NASDAQ listing you have to comply with NASDAQ listing you have to be over a dollar share or have a number of Stockholder investors and equity value all that kind of stuff right guys So that's what they do the reverse click We usually what they do is they do the reverse split now it goes from 30 cents to 8 bucks Then they do an offering that's the goal of a reverse but the goal reverse but is a state of business No one wants to own your stock. They selling that shit down to under a dollar Now you do reverse split to meet the compliance reasons and usually it comes with an offering and so a lot of smart guys Smart professionals to orders they know that and so they are hammering the stock because usually Usually there's an offering that's coming But what happened in this case was dude they got jacked man. They got set up They got hoes and so I think a lot of the brokers didn't have the corporate action tries sometimes a transfer agent Screws up and it's slow to give the shares or whatever right guys And so they got set up and it's very easy with the algo guys. That's part of the scheme I am not sure that part of the scheme or not, but you always have to think in your head guys Something suspicious. So don't touch it man.  Okay, someone knows someone knows there's no such thing as free money guys either It's free money Why would they give it to you right guys? So be very suspicious The game is always a reverse split to do an offering most of the time Reverse splits are very very bad for investors.  And you can't even sell a thousand shares because if you use a merit trade TD waterhouse, whatever the hell you use those retail brokers will hold your Position so those guys so let's take a look at that stock once again guys COSM reverse split eight dollars right eight dollars. So eight dollars is this line here This is the break even line guys Right there me That's a pivot line it chew it automatically right so the these algos what they trade by is technical analysis And so it coincides exactly with the pivot line amazing look at this price right here guys eight dollars sixty cents And what did we say the a split adjusted price with eight dollars and twenty five cents?   They set you up and when you lose you blow the hell up Okay, the only thing you do is wait for that shit and then hey if you want you can short on the back side down But this play is way too risky Reverse splits so this is so we two in summary guys in summary about this talk in Summary about this talk reverse splits used to be very easy to short Every time I did reverse, but I sure I sure sure sure I win.  Okay, so what worked last year the year before 100% home runs You have to be very very careful. It leads me to this risk management is the key guys risk management Is the key doesn't matter what market you're in adapting or not if you have proper risk management and you take The and you take the loss you make the plan and you stick to your plan.  That is the one thing that remains consistent throughout the 20 years of training.  I'm just shaking my head right now They're trapping the hell out of you, but they the algos are getting smarter and smarter the I used to trade penny stocks is because there were no algos in Penny and small caps because why they're all trading IBM Apple big things. Why would they do that now? Because back then algos were not as sophisticated. There were billion-dollar algos written by these Market makers and why would they apply it to an illiquid market such as small caps?   We beat it all the time It's just knowing these things guys knowing the key is stock selection. Okay. I today I pat I didn't even touch COSM. I didn't touch see I CCM. I Do not want to touch one off stocks that I cannot easily predict it is not a Setup that is reliable. That's my point to you. It's it's too obscure There's it's so random.  So reverse splits are very very dangerous Okay, and they tell you some because what happens when they do reverse split they clean up the shareholders So this float goes from 25 million Divide by 2 to 1 million. That's what happens in those cases guys reverse splits They clean up the float the float gets reduced for dramatically and who has the shares left Is whoever's the insider whoever's running the scheme whoever's doing the financing. They're all coordinated. Okay, which leads me to ICCM. Let's take a look at that ICCM Someone got caught with their pass down yesterday, dude. This was 98 cents ran up to an almost 12 dollars Thank God there were no lowcase. Thank God. I do not short out there. This is why let's take a look at ICCM Was this a reverse split too?  I'm telling you guys right now Okay, ICCM was not a split.  Let's take a look at this guys You always is only 10 million but the key is insiders own most of it guys And is the notion owns the act so what is left 20% of there's this tiny float, man So you have you have to be careful guys. This is small. This is low float season Low floats are very dangerous. Okay guys. That's why I do not trade low floats on day one Do not short low floats on day one Did I short low floats on day one?  You're dead Okay, it's like and they can reclaim like crazy. That's the whole thing with low floats guys You have to put a hard stop out there. You cannot be greed So I'm gonna tell you something about this these system traders are doing all-day faders. They're getting destroyed It's because you know what these elbows know these elbows knows Well, they're just waiting they're waiting for you guys to just be too comfortable Holding an all-day fader on a low float and out of nowhere.  I'm telling you right now man if you take a look at the book of a Dude, there's a lot of books on this guy. So it's about what's that guy's book? Uh They want to talk about high frequency trading. So I'll tell you something man. This is something that people don't know Nasdaq is not government Funding in terms of is it's a poor for profit organization. It's not meant to be fair Nasdaq these exchanges are not meant to be fair. They are for profit So what do you know what happens when they let the algos they let go in sacks all of those algos all those instructions Sit on the Nasdaq server Okay, oh, it's called flash boys. There's a book called flash boys read it if you want to read it It this it was a big thing like a decade ago. You guys are probably in diapers.  So what happens is it's a for-profit Organization I always thought back in the day man. Oh, it's ran by the government.    You know how fast 10 millisecond is Once what 10 milliseconds like like 10 1,000th of a second. So it would take you 1,000 100 basically is it's a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second is like this It's even faster about it's faster than I can snap my fingers Okay, and back in the day computers were not that fast.     It is a big deal when you talk about 10 million shares of a hedge fund moving stocks around talking about your 401k Your retirement fund your IRA index funds things like that guy is huge and it adds up a Penny is as up so what happens is this these Algos are always trying to do high frequency trading try to beat each other eventually these algos They they used to make a big spread now They make a tiny spread small as a raise towards zero basically and so they must game it in other ways They cannot make money off of scalping spreads anymore because spreads went down significantly to like Penny or less because they have dark pools and so they must game you in other ways guys And so this is what they're doing Okay, so don't be fooled.  There's no hard stops.    So I don't bother guys. I have no edge in this I don't care if I miss making money.    You don't know their liquidity if they're set up for an offering You never know guys.          This is more fun. Okay, let me take my drink of my coke Let's see what's going here guys.  It's boring. You guys seen it I post like charts on Twitter the guys are in my CC it the videos we make is always on the my investment club YouTube so we're now I'm gonna go back to the format of telling you things in which only Experience will know because most of you guys have not even been trading that long. Okay, five years guys been trading because AMC Brought you in trading for some reason COVID Three two years ago brought you to training.  What's considered easy? Changes from time to time Back in the day I traded penny stocks There's always gonna be pumpers guys back then. What was that awesome penny stocks? Who was around for awesome penny stocks? Do you have that shit?    They people didn't know where they were. They're around the world One guy happens to have the same last name as me actually. Oh my god, dude I got called in so many of those I think they were thinking it was me I was running because I traded all those stocks and I traded on very large sizes Back in the day because they had an advantage. I knew the the advantage I would go along because I was one of the first people to recognize which stocks they did because I had a newsletter Okay, and then I run it. I let them run it all the way up I ride it and that's short all the way down.    I don't want to know who they are I don't need to know anything and then so what happens of course they all got caught But I don't know what happened to them. I don't think they were ever caught Because these guys were back in the day guys technology was not as as Plenty full as it is now and so they were there they they hit their tracks very very well It was an old school. They did fax machines and the emails, you know, it's crazy, right guys Well nowadays everything is traced. That's why that's why money now they they The reason why?  Nowadays a hundred bucks Barely get one two left this but anyways The reason is come money money laundering.  You can't just care a little one. So so that's why crypto. That's my hate crypto crypto You can move money around it's all about the government trying to control the money supply guy Do not want you said money for money laundering terrorism all that shit, okay?    Everybody wants alerts every wants to and during COVID days Everyone's home. They have Biden money Government gave him money for COVID and all that kind of stuff guys Well, they had money to burn and so no one did anything. Yeah stimulus money.  I never did that I mean, I don't want to go to prison. I can day trade myself and make money if I pump her those guys are just They load up. So let me tell you how that works guys. Oh my god These these these the funny thing is these if you take a look at the SEC findings They they show the discord chat the private chats how they arrange the pumps one guy gets in first He alerts his buddy, which is usually the co-ring leader, you know There's like there's like four guys which are working together to pump it because they have the following the followers And so they would get in first and they stagger who gets in who gets out things like that These things are all done back in the day penny stock days.  The difference is this they're dumb They're using discord servers, which are recorded guys Which are recorded back in the day? You know what happened?  That's why I'm still around guys I'm the only guy that not keep looking at that nut.  That's the thing guys.    They didn't have slack.   It's discord. They're they're a huge company Slack is a public company.      We use slack because it's a public company We cannot scam you we're not doing private messages because these private messages will get back and we're scamming Do you understand this these scammers are using?    All this is designed Okay, and so this is why we do you slap so that you know hundred percent We're not scheming you.  Okay, and it's not really their fault per se.    Okay, so sadly they're gonna get made an example of because to because because the people right now are pissed off They don't they want to blame it on someone. They become the scapegoat. Okay, and so the Atlas guys unfortunately What they did? Okay, they don't have inside information.  It's legal because they are analysts. What do you think a buy upgrade is a sell downgrade?   That's when you get set up Okay, and so how do you keep alive in these markets guys?  No, you didn't get scammed.   Same thing with the mansions.   I love it You know my goal is to make money help people make money and to live a happy life Where I'd never have to look over my shoulder and Worry that someone's after me cuz I lost money whatever.  You're gonna get killed.   I'm not a perfect person But what I want is for all my friends and followers who are actually good people out there that Followed me for years and years to not repeat the same mistakes.  So when you paying for M.   I see for that's why you're here listening to me That's why you follow me.       He doesn't use it anymore.  He did so let's talk about three things We talked about today, right?  They're using the reverse split to gain you to but eventually it's gonna go back reverse now because it wants people Get scared of the reverse but they won't go long anymore and then you can then you can short it again But it's not something that is repeatable and consistent anymore guys You know, that's not a pattern that you should bank on you can look and do all this stuff But that's not a pain.     I have no sympathy for these guys that I want to get rich quick Follow pumpers and then cry about it.     They got lucky They got lucky and then and then they started a pump and either rise that pump and over time people like myself people like Alex People like in in my am I see chat room?     They don't want to lose who loses you lose This is the vicious cycle of the markets guys Talks go up they go down Bull market to bear market back and forth up and down when someone does the same thing over and over same thing in sports You cannot skip running the same place over and over in sports, right?  It becomes it was a cult.      Okay guys Anything else guys before I end it I want to keep it short and sweet And I think I've I covered this this this new format. I think I love it I'm you know, we're gonna talk about topics that only Experience can teach you because I've been around guys.         So all right guys. I'll catch you guys next week. Hopefully you guys.


There's a delay play See you're strumming and it and then it and it's sort of like you could hear it only after the fact. Oh But you but my voice is not delayed your voice is good. We're live now by the way, but it's okay Jammin live. We're jamming my friend. We're jamming. Let me get my guitar Jammin That's that's the problem with zoom the the audio of an instrument is always delayed You know unless you got some sort of real-time thing going on. I actually had no idea I've actually never played guitar on the zoom before but The zoom is it's a mystery to me, bro I I struggle with it, and I'm just happy that you and I were able to figure this thing out because It was my fault There's been a no no no. It's hey man You you came on you were clear as a bell You looked great, and I could have easily been on my side So I was like struggling trying to figure it out, but fortunately we got it now.  Okay, can you do that?  Yeah, that's a lot better. Yeah, no, it's good It's good. Look at that. I got a remote control too, but I don't know what it does Yeah, I just actually be honest with you. This is the first time I use this kind of camera setup I've been using I usually use my phone Mm-hmm, and I thought for Jimmy I can't I can't roll with the phone And I gotta go like I gotta upload it somehow so I went with the clear one. This is a clear one Zoom camera system that is pretty I like it. It looks really nice Is that your setup in your basement or you're in your jam room or whatever it is my this is in my studio room I wish I had a basement man. That's East Coast thing. Yeah We in California. We really not very many people have a basement. I don't know why I guess the water tables Yeah, yeah, I think it's two things. I think it's earthquakes and water Yeah, well definitely earthquakes It'd be bad, but I think yeah, the water table was high too So you'd be having some issues all the time with water coming in, but I haven't it's a it's a how it's a little pool house outside of my house and it's I've lived here for 20 something 25 years or something and Man, this room has had every I've had everybody in this room from obviously cover ill Had been here with me Ronnie James deal and came over and a couple times worked with me here Glenn and I did a ton of work here And then just all kinds of sessions and stuff. I've done it's been this is like my this has got this if these walls could talk It would be the same. Do you have a name for your studio? I did David and I used to call it The mojo something I forgot You need a name and if anybody's watching it If anybody's watching and they got a cool name, you know, just type it in there and we can maybe like baptize it today Right now it should be called messy studios.com. We love messes We love cables on the floor and tons of amps everywhere and pedals everywhere. It's It's pretty messy, but it you know, that's the thing about it a studio if it's pristine clean. It's kind of a little bit like, okay Not sure if it's giving me a vibe yet, but when it's messy you kind of just Go there. Let's just rock. That's it. Yeah, it's a good point. That's how I feel about my basement about my wife You know, she disagrees well You got to give it up to the missus man Fortunately my I clean up after my misses so it's like So good news, I mean since the last time we talked, okay, so we had Krabi in the band Then Glenn Hughes is in the band Krabi's back in the band. I spoke to Krabi. I Don't know. It's like a month ago less than a month ago on the streets of Montreal And he was and you know great guy Oh, he's a great interview and he kind of explained it to me Maybe you want to just give everybody a little bit of a history lesson of he's back in the band Well, we're grateful to you know, we we love John and we always had a you know, John is Kind of the quintessential dead daisies guy. He's done the most records out of the six studio albums that have been done and He definitely put his mark on stuff and um Well, let me start back in 2012 or 13 was when the first album came out and that was David Lowey and John Stevens and And I didn't really know about it.  That's great And I'll tell you a side story. Jimmy is like I knew John Krabi when we were kids in Philadelphia And there was a you were too young to we couldn't legally go to the clubs but we had all fake IDs and um We go to the clubs in New Jersey and there was a band that played midnight moses And it was their signature track and they would they would like It was like the big moment of the night when they played midnight moses And we didn't even know it wasn't their song later found out it was Alex Harvey and Alex Harvey group And then 20 something 30 something years later. Here's John Krabi doing it with the dead daisies. I'm like Dad faster. He did it. He pulled it great. That's like I had totally forgotten about that song and And they sounded great. It's a really great song off of the cover of a revolution But a lot of people thought that was the dead daisies and that's when I first heard of them And I joined up right after that because the moses went back out together And Richard said you should get dug and I knew all those guys. They're all my buddies. Anyways, you know Me and david lowey talked and we hit it off and we made a couple records with john You know, he'd already done revolution and we did a couple records together and then we did a live record but um, eventually You know john wanted to kind of focus on solo stuff a little bit He had been trying to do it on the side and his son was playing drums For him and he's like, come on dad. Let's let's you know, we got to do some shows So that's when john split for a little while and and we had a great run after that with glenn hughes which we were blessed to have glenn, you know he uh He's you know, he's a legend He's glenn hughes, so we we we wrote A little differently together with him and we wrote some I wrote some things specifically for him because I know glenn and I know what he likes and um Yeah, so it was it was going really well, but you know pandemic made it a little difficult for us to to tour and stuff and eventually um You know glenn wanted to get back to doing his uh deep ripple stuff is he covers the deep ripple albums and He's got a great band so at that point we were kind of just taking a break and somehow Krabi we got in touch with krabi at some point just to see what he was up to it and we decided that we wouldn't put a best of album out best of Six studio albums and yeah during john and glenn most and and david and uh john steen's too You know, it's incredible when I put like I put each other songs on from the greatest hits and Every song is like a knockout, you know, and it just it speaks John krabi's it he's a huge talent and the only person pissed off at john rejoining the the dead daisies is john krabi's son Well, I mean that's what john told me he goes my son's go come on dad. What are you doing? We're just starting this solo thing here Yeah, but he can always do he can always do that when he's got free time He's been doing he's been doing he's been on the road. I think that's when you saw him in montreal Was doing solo supporting Maybe no no actually so he broke off from that pack and he did the acoustic set A few weeks ago Yeah, yeah, so he's just doing the acoustic on on a couple of side shows here and there when that group wasn't touring You know as as a package, you know, it's actually it's such a great show I mean because it's very mellow and john talks a lot.   He's we crank it up. We put on a show that We had we changed years with glenn. It was a different kind of a show It was more, you know, kind of a muso type of thing, but with john it's it's pure rock and roll and He's the emcee of the party, you know, he basically He wants people to have a blast with the band and And rock out, you know, that's what we do You know is amazing dug when you guys played munchie all and I'm sure you did this everywhere else First you played the music store, which was steve's if you remember or not Yeah, that's one of the you did a set you did a set there Right go ahead. Sorry. I was gonna say one of the most famous stores in the world steve's music um I have a t-shirt from that time actually but I still Still where I want to keep it nice in case they don't have any more when I come up there next time but Steve's music's famous. It's a great store and uh, they've they've always been, you know friends of ours If you don't have it, we don't need it. That's their motto on this shirt. At least that's what it was at one time You did a set in a music store during the afternoon, let's say at like three four o'clock And then you did your gig at night and you kept repeating that. I mean, is that burnout?  You know singing. I mean a lot of guys A lot of guys they won't even talk during this during the show day or in off days or whatever they'll just be like you know Yeah Like that, but um john's got a He's pretty much bulletproof. I mean he's it takes a lot For him to even say anything, but I think you know his voice was never burned out just Physically and mentally sometimes when you're on the road you get like One after another after another after another after never and it does sometimes get on you a little bit, but We uh on this now that john's back. We plan on taking good care of him. He's like You know john to me is a legend. I'm like I said, I've known him since we were kids Like you I was in the 10th grade when I met john which was many years ago obviously and uh He's he's legendary. I mean his his work with the scream I remember when that came out. Actually, he had a band before the scream they were playing in la around the same time I had a band called lion you're playing and and um He that band was great Uh And gora, I think they were called then he got the scream and they put a record out Yeah, and that's a killer album the blues boy on guitar and John algeretti from from badlands and some other guys. I forgot but um But yeah, then the motley crew story, which You know grunge came and wiped everybody out except for a motley crew Because basically they had a ace in the hole with john karate And that got that got them through that period where you know, they made a change and went a little darker a little heavier and And john's just he's hilarious too. I mean they were that was a really good record that they made I think And then obviously, you know, he's done all kinds of other stuff, but um The dead daisies is when I discovered him the last time was like I said that 2015 And and and to the songs that were chosen right and it first of all it it's the whole catalog It's like a little bit of everything Even the glenn hughes era And oh, yeah, of course and there's 200 least tracks for the people out there Were they from what sessions were they from? That's from the robby sessions, right? No, they were from the that's the glenn hughes era. I didn't hear them. That's why Yeah, you got to hear them. They're really cool. They're really cool So basically what happened is during the pandemic Everyone we had this album holy ground in the can that we wrote together and um We we it was a We thought it was a really strong album with glenn. It was our first album with him And pandemic it we couldn't really go on the road. So we wanted to hold off the release and it ended up we put out like We our first big single was going to be um Like no other that was going to be the big single And uh, we didn't want to give that away So we started with unspoken and that kind of became a underground single uh during the pandemic But we were stuck. We couldn't go anywhere. So glenn and I started writing a little bit and I helped him uh I kind of produced his vocals and demos and stuff and we worked up some songs and um I threw in some bits here and there but basically there was some stuff that glenn had and Those are two of the songs from that time They didn't make it on the radiance album not because they weren't great, but just because we didn't need them It was a different vibe. It was a little darker and deeper Vibed and you know with radiance. We wanted to just make it a straight up 70s kick-ass rock record And uh, those songs were very deep the healer Is probably one of the heaviest tracks that we've ever done. It's very dark and heavy, but it's super cool very cinematic And then uh, let it set you free is a beautiful melodic, you know song of hope kind of thing about the human condition and um Those are extra tracks on the best of the people will get to hear it and I'm glad they're coming out They're really cool songs You know Going back in time you're you're you're a you're a child of the sunset strip in a sense, right? You moved from the east coast to the west coast and you kind of like saw the early bands sort of come up, correct Yeah, the first the first band that I saw choir riot was already I think they were already It was what you're what were you what were you what year did you go to california or los angeles? It was 81 the end of 81. I got to california and so the first one of the first people I met was robin crossby from rap And super nice guy. He was a bit older than me and and um, but he he and I kind of just We just hit it off, you know, we were just we I'd see him. I never had his phone number anything, but we'd always Okay, you're breaking up right and I was kind of He took me under his wing a little bit because I was young There we go. How about now is that better? Yeah, it's better if you have anything open On your browsers. Just just shut them down with the exception of zoom Um, yeah Save that for later Um, we don't want any incidents Um No, but when I got to la I met robin crossby the king Yeah Cool, dude I saw a rat when they had jakey Lee on guitar. It was a four piece And motley crew was kicking around town. I saw them play a couple times Um, but then I got I didn't have any money really. I was working in a music store Um, but I didn't really have enough money to go out And I ended up getting a girlfriend and we started to be exclusive. So I didn't go out for a while and then I started playing with several bands around the strip and eventually was in a band called like I mentioned lion and We we got a we were not Everybody passed on us because we were definitely not the sunset strip sound. We were definitely more of a European kind of white snake thin Lizzie kind of thing Uh, and it wasn't You know, they were more interested in the glam sound I think or the The rock and roll like an aerosmith or guns and roses type of vibe So we got passed on but we finally did get a deal and um And then, you know, the rest is history. I went from that band Faltered and I really wanted it to happen. I got some offers to join other bands But I wanted to stay with that band But we we just got caught up in contractual problems And eventually broke up and then I started playing with a few other people here and there and And one thing led to another and finally when I got working with Ronnie James deal is when I really got out there and started to you know tour and Get a name for yourself, right? Yeah, I mean I kind of had a a little bit of a Rep, you know Around town for sure and then in certain places where lion had done well But did not did you see did you see wasp at their beginnings? I was at wasp very first la debut performance. I was in the audience and they had these Plastic bowls they call them tupperware And they they had the red meat in there and he was they had I'll never forget they just he just stopped the show or I forget I do forget what if he was playing or if they stopped it, but he just Oh, you're breaking up at the best part Doug we're breaking up A piece of nice steak red meat Check it out Sounds better You know what you're you're yeah, you're you're cutting you're cutting are you my am I cutting out? I think you froze You're frozen Doug can you hear me? Doug I would really froze So stand by everybody as we try to get Doug. I'm gonna try to get Doug back No worries.  I'm went away for Doug Doug froze this is what usually happens the gas freezes And then they drop off and they pop back in but in the meantime you can pick up The dead daisies the best of It's gonna come out on August 18th, I believe on steam hammer Records I'm waiting for Doug to come back on that's right August 18th. You could buy the double CD or I believe it's a double vinyl as well 200 least tracks As we wait for Doug And I will guys tell us a story Jim Well, we can ask Doug about this. Oh, he's coming back. He's coming back. Hold on. Hold on He's coming back on Doug's connecting to audio Jimmy you're back You're back. Don't we I covered for you. I covered for you. I'm thank you. Thank you, bro. I'm on my fastest connection.  Sorry Litchy Anyways, uh, where were we?  He was tossing them out to the audience Yeah, and I just said, you know, it was the red meat thing that lost for due I just said I wish that people would be throwing steaks out nowadays because just grab one and take it home Have a barbecue, but buddy people don't throw steaks out today You can't afford to throw steaks out into the crowds, right? People would have their barbecues ready um I'm gonna mention to you that I think it was it was Kathy and Chris Holmes who say hi by the way I'm not sure if you could even hear me anymore Doug Yeah, they're they're great Yeah All right, let us continue. All right. Let's go back to were there any other bands in the early days on Sunset Strip Can you hear me? All right All right, we're there Somebody put a piece of steak there. Were there any other bands in the in the early days that you're kind of like wow that Yeah, gonna make it Now I lost her audio Okay, go ahead Doug do this turn off your video check one two check check one two turn off your video for a second turn off your video Okay Okay, how about now? Yeah, okay, that's it. That's it. Okay. Check.  So So you were asking about you were asking about other bands, right?  So It was pretty for sure that they were they were up level from a lot of bands Mm-hmm So that was the the main one there was um You know, I never really I never actually saw guns and roses, but I heard about them And uh, there was a big buzz about them Obviously poison poison used to play shows supporting lion actually and they got snatched up pretty quickly um Because they were just over the top, you know, that's what they were doing Brett And and cc they put on you know, a great song show and they're really cool songs for that kind of stuff but um After that kind of the dregs of the glam scene started coming out and It was nobody's I mean there was a lot of killer bands Armored st. Tough and all these bands but there was a bunch of other bands that were um Um Maybe just kind of tagging along for the ride and weren't doing it's something as original. Maybe I don't know So it got watered down a little bit and then eventually it went away That's when later bands started getting I remember philadelphia had a thing with bands Portland had a thing with bands We're like philadelphia had britney fox and it had um Cinderella in skid row All right, it's cool. All right. I mean two others. Sure. Okay, sort Eventually seattle Yeah, eventually seattle kicked in All right. Yeah, of course, of course So tell me quickly about uh, you know, you joined d.o.   This is like before they got vinny vincent. You were young lad back then, right? Right, right, right now. There was um It was um, I remember black diamond for sure Um firehouse for sure and I think the third one on the first go around was strutter I think okay Then I went back again a couple weeks later and played with them again and they had doctor love and Rock and roll Oh all night. I think it was no detroit rock city. It was detroit rock city Yeah, uh detroit rock city and doctor love of two more they wanted to jam on and And yeah, I was really you know, I was very young and I probably played the stuff okay but I think as a You know hanging out they could tell I was just a kid. I wasn't really ready to you know I'll tell you what jimmy the most important thing Other than playing when you're trying to you know work with other musicians Because it is close like close relationship is the hangout factor you can't you can't have like Some guy doesn't matter how brilliant the guy might be on his instrument or singing or whatever If you can't actually feel comfortable eating Lunch together or waking up and having a coffee together Just being normal together. Then it's not gonna work out the hangout factor is very important And you're young and they're older guys, right and they're rocking these guys were worldwide rock stars. I mean I I was just I was just they were I think the reason was is they were At that time everybody kind of got thought it was cool to find an unknown person Like whoa, where did they find this guy or that guy? So They did that they found vini vincent, you know, and he was the guy, but he was a bit older and um He was a great guitar player, but then it just Petered out Doug. Let me ask you this. So somebody wrote Chick eastwater says when was this makeup came off? No, this was this was at the time when they still had their makeup on They're looking for vini vincent or a guitar. Sorry they got vini vincent. Yeah, right? Were they planning a character for you or were you kind of thinking man, what kind of character would I like to be? This must have been gone through your head, right? Now I could be the ego. I could be the hawk I didn't even think about it. They would have made me a sheep or something. I don't know But no, I I never I didn't think about it. We but it was That's an interesting question because their makeup nobody had seen them without their makeup. So I felt It was hard for me to look them in the eye because I felt guilty like oh man I'm not supposed to look at them, you know, and and it was just The whole thing was just a little bit awkward for me. I didn't you know now I would just be like these are normal people. I'm a normal person. We all are doing our best Let's just play together and see how it feels.  I forget Yeah, not the ox the uh, the uh, I know She's now that's simple stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, somebody's gonna write that in All right, I will repeat it but go ahead. Yeah Yeah So he's all rich.  I loved it And that was also a cool thing. Um, it was really Eric Carr that Came to saw me play in a club and then he came back And then he called me at this music store. I was working at and said, okay I want you to come down to the record plant and meet the guys and But Eric, it's it's the angk warrior angk and kh warrior. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah okay, so yeah, he He was that and he did he did a great job. But I think You know, they were all the bands were looking for the eddie van halen type of guy They wanted a guy that could shred. I think, you know in hindsight I think keeping Like the ace vibe. I mean, obviously keeping ace would have been optimum but And because the ace is the ace is a great guitar player. I mean trying to learn those parts You know, I had been trying. I had been kind of getting into, you know, the the guys like Randy Rhodes and but also jimmy page and Tony Iomi and blackmore and eddie van halen and when I listened to ace freely, he was definitely It was he had his own thing and it was like really cool What was what's the most interesting part of ace is playing that intrigued you the most? Is it some sort of It was it was it feel a tone feel like what was it? It was a feel thing I mean, he kind of had he was closer to a jimmy page guy But he had a lot of cool parts that he would play if you listen to, you know, his parts On on those records. He's coming up with a lot of cool melodic things and simple effective parts really cool um You know, he's never probably been known to be A shredder in any way, but I and I think that's kind of what they were looking to do was to Compete with you know, if you remember that Ozzy was still out at that time and um And all these bands had hot shot guitar players. So that's what they were looking for You could have been that hot shot guitar player. I mean, jeez. Well, I I definitely could play but I mean like I said I was very young, you know, but I think they got a good guy with Vinny and they they did some good songs So I really liked the um Well, I love that that album that they did I think on creatures of the night they had a lot of guest musicians like the coolant brothers and um Some other people maybe denny probably played on it at some point They had some cool songs on that record. It's a great album War machine was on there and some other stuff. Yeah, good song Um, which when I was in the studio playing over Jean said hey, I want you to put a solo in this song and What would you play for this? Like kind of like we want to see what you would do with it and and I was listening to that riff And I was like, what key is this thing in man? I know I it's like it was it was kind of freaking me out a little bit and I started playing something and And jean goes what what if you try some major scale on that and I said, what's that? and he goes He goes do re mi fa so and I go. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay And I kind of recreated that to my michael schenker like major pentatonic Again with minor pentatonic and that's what I played on that In the studio as a reference my solo is not on the album. It was just they were just no, no, no Yeah, yeah, they were just they were sort of auditioning you with the material that they had recorded That's what you're trying to say, right? Yeah, yeah Yeah, and well because we don't want to hear the news tomorrow. Doug Ulrich played on creatures of the night No, but it was it was then they'll be like pictures of you, you know with your face on creatures of the night You know, that's funny, man No, I it was a good experience and I was grateful for the opportunity and it really kicked me in the ass like Hey, I definitely I got something going so I got a really Now kicking the gear and start really trying to work hard and learn music more You know learn more about music because when jean tells you to play a major scale and you're like, what's that? It's not good. I'm well. I'm basically playing from the My heart my ear, you know, so that's You don't really know what you're doing at that time when you're a kid. I guess sometimes I'm pretty sure, you know, ace was not a student of music either, right? He wasn't somebody who was trained I think he just played like you right. He kind of learned how to uh, Yeah, but I'm pretty sure if you said ace played the major scale he could probably do it but he he's definitely uh, and God bless him, man.  For sure. For sure. Absolutely. All right.  He's jamming in your your room there.  Like it's sort of like the dark horse album that people, you know need to get It is it's a cool album. It's it's ronnie's return to you know, kind of straight up melodic heavy rock, you know and and heavy metal and it was um You know a transition year because that's when I came in and Craig Goldie left and Mm-hmm jimmy bain Still in the band and simon and scott warren And it was a it was a blast man I've got such great memories of that of going in the studio with ronnie and just feeling like immediately I was part of a family You know You've played with some great voices man when you think about it david caradale ronnie james deal glenn hughes Of course karabi, right? You played with the best Voices of them all.  You go. Wow. I didn't know he was like that What was that? What was that moment? What was that thing about him that you didn't you never you go man? I didn't know he wasn't like that there was a lot of him a lot of him jimmy he he was He was a really simple down-to-earth cat.  It was like old school And he loved it and then he'd be like, okay, right. Let's get to work and we'd go in the studio or do whatever we had to do But I loved that he was so down-to-earth and he was a no BS guy man. He everything Was straight up with him. You didn't have to guess. I don't know a lot of people like we've all had Those people in our lives that you either work with through your friends with or You're dating or whatever and you can't figure out where they're at. Like are they are they okay? Are they pissed off? Are they happy? Like what's where are we at? Like Is she gonna break up with me tomorrow? You don't know with Ronnie It was new you knew it you you were comp he made everybody better for that because he you were He would make you feel confident and strong and he would encourage you to be the best you could be that's That's the greatest, you know takeaway from anybody that's gotten to work with Ronnie Is uh, you know, and he he learned from the best. I mean he was working with amazing musicians even prior to working with blackmore, but You know, did he do crossword puzzles all the time?  He'd be the first one there and last to leave Um, you there still? Yeah, sorry You know, I just I'm just trying to see if it's he liked crossword puzzles He liked to watch like game shows and he liked to you know trivia I know that much, right? At least He probably had an IQ 130 plus who knows where it was, but He was very intelligent and he did he sat there when I was recording guitars on killing the dragon. He sat there For a couple weeks while I was doing my work, but basically every day he'd be sitting doing crossword puzzles the whole day While work was going on That's pretty cool. Yeah, you know, that's why he the spoken word or the written word was very important to him Right, you really had a good grasp as a craft he had some he had some I mean the stuff the rainbow stuff the the deal stuff the Sabbath stuff It was all It was just It was incredible, you know, I mean Really For me the greatest heavy metal singer Yeah, me too me too me too um When you like I've even asked you this before in the past, but I'll elaborate so magica there's there was one song that was That was released electrica. Is that it? Yeah, it was electrica in 2012 Wendy's saying there's still some more songs that were demos I know there's been a lot of talk about this has been there has there been any progress Of releasing these demos or reworking them? Uh, that you know of Yeah, okay. Well, first of all, so electric was part of what was going to be a next album for Ronnie, but he basically Came up with electric to promote the tour that he wanted to do at the end of 2009 He was going to release Re-release killing the dragon and a live show that we did from that tour and um That song was going to promote the album and the tour and it was going to be this whole thing and then he got sick He got he found out he was Had cancer so it all went away, but the song electra Did come out and it was Pretty cool, man But prior to electra He had another song that and i'm sure he had lots of bits of songs and maybe a few that were completed But he did give me a completed song prior to electra that he wanted to be the the promotional track And then he he basically moved away from that and we went with electra instead, but I had that track and I I put a solo on it and Didn't have a title but um I had it and I talked to Wendy about it and I mean we never she never You know To be fair, I didn't go over and play it for her but I did talk to her about it on the phone and And then she kind of wasn't ready to listen to anything like that at that point Years went on And and I and then I ended up doing a renovation at my house and I took those hard drives and I put them in storage so at the moment There's talk that wendy wants to put out some stuff Some unreleased stuff next year in 24 with Ronnie including um remake of the track that he sent me which I am still in the process of finding it and Wendy texted me last week and said You know any luck and I said I'll get it. Wendy. I'll get I just have You know dozens of hard drives that I need to go through to find it and um And once I do I'll give her the track and I'll either record it with her and them or somebody else will but it was it was haunting because It was Ronnie playing bass and playing rhythm guitar with the drum machine and singing and the vocal was just It's haunting man really crazy, you know like kind of you know, it's funny when you're in munch y'all we interviewed you in munch y'all I asked you about the track just quickly and you go oh man, I got it upstairs on my laptop Yeah At the time you had it on your laptop four years ago or five years So yeah, maybe it's on that laptop I it's not I did check that but because so I did the renovation during you know, 2020 when everything was shut down. I wanted to to um Get my you know expand my house a little bit and clean it up and get new stuff And so I wanted to pack everything up nice and neat and get it out of here because when there's construction You know, it would have hard drives would get dusty and all that so I um Including That computer was all backed up on hard drives. So I'll get I'll find it and I hope Wendy has some other kick-ass stuff I really do because that would be pretty cool to hear an album Leave them an album of unreleased Unreleased stuff that was original music and or You know some really cool versions. I mean I can only imagine there's got to be some Cool stuff that they did with maybe they didn't use with um With um I would think there is she told me when you go she's got like a garage full of stuff, you know to go through Well now we're losing your audio G You're breaking up We're not having a good day. Are we? No, man, you're breaking up jimmy jimmy jimmy. I can hear you now. Yes. Okay. Here we go Man, we're not having a good day. It's not. It's okay. It's all right. Like I replaced you with a picture Of the dead daisy. So at least that's that's good.  Come on Ronnie from the heavens Come on Ronnie. Give us a good connection Okay, let's let's flip over to a david carver dale You know, you get the gig with this guy. This guy's like royalty, right? You walk in you're like man This is david carver dale. It's like wow. Oh my lord.  But I knew about it from my first What would the band lion the singer cal swan? had been a fan of early white sick and he had all those albums come get it ready and willing and love hunter and a bunch and so He and I just hit it off because he was happy that I knew that stuff and and I Talked to him about like, you know Eventually putting some new music out and trying to bridge the gap between europe and the us or the You know us in canada Which was more of the glam era of white snake versus europe, which is more the blues based And that's when we started to try and develop a sound that we kind of crossed into both those And um, I thought we came up with some really cool stuff Yeah, forevermore is a great album It's like, uh, it's fresh There was one before that called good to be bad, which I actually back I actually really like that even better because that was the first album that he and I did Yeah, you know Like that was where the pressure was we were like, okay Nobody's heard a new white snake for a long time. So this better be good, you know and we Were I was sitting in my room here and I had this This thing with three chords And I and I had it in my mind. I just was like tell me baby.  What's on your mind?  I mean these demos were like Killer and david gets so into it. He'd be like, yeah, let's let's overdub it hard. Let's do this Let me put a harmony, you know grab your guitar. Let's try something out. Can you put something? you know blah blah blah and it was So he'd walk out of here or I'd walk out of his studio with a cd of these couple songs And then you'd are the drive from my house to his house was about seven or eight hours And you'd basically just listen to that thing over on repeat and by the time you got home. It was like, yeah this is white snake, you know and It was exciting because it was brand new stuff that we knew nobody had ever heard and we just created it and it was cool My good stuff. I should also mention you the dead days are going on tour, right? in Yeah, we're gonna come to Canada and we're gonna come see you man August 22 It starts in, uh, Pennsylvania, right back to back to the roots Back at back to Pennsylvania back my family's gonna be there or you know, my Family that's able to be there will be there and we got yeah, we got Pennsylvania.

You know A lot of it just like canada is a sacred place just like you know in the way like japan is it's it's not easy to get there sometimes because You know they're if you're You know, it's just a little difficult to cross that border sometimes and and like I say same with japan or australia Those are countries that are always really like it's they're careful about you know letting a band come in They want to make sure everything's cool of course I mean, what kind of trouble could we make I'm not we're not going to do anything We just want to kick ass, you know and play rock Turn out turn on your video again. Let's see if the video is going to work now turn on your video if you can Let's see Let's see. Okay. Hey, there it is There it is. Okay. Let's see if it gets choppy. Does anybody else out there who's watching have any questions for dug as we reach the final Five or ten minutes if anybody has any questions. No people have been texting as we've been going along And uh, I kept there was a picture of you in the dead days is instead of you know your video But I hope just to keep things a little more stable in terms of connection. I have to think quick on my feet my friend See again, you're freezing up Well, there we go again right See every time you turn your video on is it isn't still is it still frozen?

I just switched to a different, um Source maybe it'll be better. I don't know. All right. Go ahead new album. Are you writing new material for the new dead days album? Well, we've all got some I'm sure we've all got some risks the cool thing about when we write together we do it in person and we do it with five guys and um I I would say, you know, there's a there's a good chance you might hear a song or a few Maybe next year. Um, we'd love to do that With we've got I would love to hear, you know, karabi and devin together, you know their vocals together on an album You're gonna hear it live so, um Let's see what happens, you know, right now we're focused on the best of album and promoting that and basically You know getting an opportunity to come to play for everybody at this point Can you ask dug? How was it working with wasp on the crimson idol album? I think you played one song on that one Can you ask dug? How was it like working with wasp on the crimson idol album? It was interesting. I he I think blacky had been gone had gone through a few different Guys on that album trying to get an elusive sound that was in his head and He called me and I went in And I did uh, I played on like two or three songs actually, but only ended up making on one Mm-hmm, and he called blacky was that was a strange hang by that time. I had been doing some sessions I've been around a little bit. So I was comfortable But blacky was he liked it being a little bit uncomfortable. I think he he liked it just being that I'm blacky lawless I am the bot I'm the man, you know and so he I'd play something and I'd be like I'd be really happy with it Which I'm a perfectionist so it's Not easy for me to be happy with something, but he would like go Yeah, that's pretty cool. But you know, can you try something else? I'm like, okay. What do you got in mind? he'd be like, I don't know play something and So I was I just I did my best and I was like, okay cool and he goes good good Um, if frankie banelli was there, I think too and he was like, yeah, yeah, I love it And a couple days later, maybe it was a week. Maybe there's two weeks later. I get a call from blackie and he goes, hey, Doug um I wanted to try some different stuff on that. Um A couple of those things or whatever and I was like Well, I mean Okay, but yeah, I mean, yeah, and it wasn't a big It wasn't a big budget to begin with. He was you know, he had Been working on this album and didn't have a lot of money left, I guess And so he said, well, you know, I just want you to come back and play I'm like, well, do you have I mean like can we consider this like another day of recording He was he was like No, I mean I already paid you for the songs And I was like, no, I know but you were happy with it when I left. What happened? He goes, well, I just got some new idea and I want to try it again and I don't know. I think I had some other stuff going on. I was just like blackie look man I'm happy to come in and play but I mean, I need this is my gig. I got a You know, so it didn't it didn't work out.  I mean it wasn't you know And it wasn't about that anyways, I definitely wanted to do the session and I was excited about it But it was you got to eat everyone's got to eat right everyone's got to pay bills, right? Yeah, and then but there's been a lot of times when I do stuff on You know on on spack they call it on spack I'll do stuff as a favor because I because I care about you know what somebody's doing or I got extra time and I'm free and I was like, okay I'm not you know I'm happy to do it, you know, but um I was probably busy and just didn't have the time But I do like playing on other people's things sometimes when I you know when I of course when you can Jim Harrison goes a black he got the two for one deal Yeah You know what that's how it goes that's rock and roll That's rock and roll jimmy. I mean hey, that's rock At least I got on there. That's cool. I'm part of the wasp history history That's it. I mean to me wasp is only it's blackie and chris holmes to me Those were the two guys that made wasp what wasp is and the legacy of wasp You know and another cool, you know All the rock stars that I've met I've met a lot I've met so many of my heroes and a lot of them are really great. Sometimes they're This doesn't go as well as you hope whatever but but chris holmes is a sweet He's a sweet man.  He always got these great stories And he's so passionate about his stories too. He's a really nice guy. I got a story of chris We I before I knew chris Or around Now I had already done the wasp thing, but I don't even think we got into that because We were I I was going to japan for Something by myself wasn't with the band. I was going to japan to do a session. I think There's something like that and chris was on that flight and I don't know how we I don't know how we got to be sitting next to each other But in the end we were we were in business class and somehow he was like And at this time at that time business class was just slightly better than economy Yeah, and at that he goes. Hey, man, let's let's go to the back of the jet Let's go in the very back row and I and he was like He wanted he was trying to write a little postcard for leader ford And he's like I need I need to talk to you man. I got to get your advice I got to have somebody I can trust And he's writing this love letter postcard and I said well, that sounds pretty good chris I thought it was really really cool that he was handwriting postcard to his girlfriend or a wife I'm not sure if they're married or whatever I thought that's He was he was definitely pounding some drinks at that point we both were and we got into We got into uh, japan and we were going through customs and He was kind of lit by that point and he started talking to some japanese people And i'm like dude.   They were probably just in awe of him, you know, he's like so tall and blonde hair and Tat I guess he had tattoos or work But uh, yeah, he's like six. He's like six six Yeah, compared to the average height of japan, right? I saw him a couple years back in in um In france, I think we were as he lives there and yeah We didn't really get to hang out. It was one of those dead days these nights where we were kind of Rushing in and rushing out and I just got to say hi to him. We took a photo together just fun and That was it, but yeah, it's definitely down to earth person Yeah, kathie's wife is amazing too. They're both a great couple and a great people and uh, super nice met This is rushy six seven says med dug at a guitar clinic with Rep beach near manchester a few years back. He was so jet lagged. What an amazing night a true gentleman Of rock signed my lion cd. Thanks I never well I'll never forget that night bro. That was so cool But yeah, I was so basically we had been in japan And white snake had played in japan. We were going directly to europe and we were putting out a live album with four new songs on it and um And so But the mixes that we were getting from la weren't good enough and so david said I need you to go back and work with the mixer the engineer We had a couple days off so I went back here to la and I worked and tried to help out And so I had the last minute caught a flight from la to um to manchester and I slept the entire flight It was crazy, but I was still like just my head was spinning I mean I got I landed that morning and then I went in my room took a shower And we had the clinic and it was it was a lot of fun, you know It was um We flipped the coin who would go first reps that okay, I'll go first and then And then we ended up jamming at the end, but it was really fun Jay says I'm sorry Not just gonna say me and rep we did a couple of those things over the years. It was fun Jay says in the 80s, I would always confuse him and And the bassist that bassist I would be writing names. Oh, I'm gonna try to get this straight here Aldridge and tommy as Aldrich All the days when I was up people getting confused with Aldridge and Aldrich Right, so that's what you're trying to say. A lot of people. Yeah, it's normal. I mean the for the most part I get people will say Aldridge Doug Aldridge and they won't even think of it even if they know the spelling Um, but it's pronounce Aldrich Aldrich like rich like richie rich Yeah, Aldrich versus Aldridge and uh, tommy We I would always get people ask me like, hey, what's up with your brother, man? How's he doing? I'm like Hey, I didn't know tommy had a younger brother Chick Eastwater says what's the biggest difference working with Ronnie and with David Carverdale? um but There's a lot.  Was Ronnie James deal funnier than David Carverdale or vice versa? Yeah, they're both they're both in a league of their own. They're they're both hilarious. I mean Ronnie We would you know with Ronnie It was all of us and the crew on one bus and we'd have these parties where we would just be drinking wine You know cracking jokes and farting and just like it was just hilarious I mean Ronnie would do the funniest stuff when he was you know, had a couple glasses of wine or a couple beers or whatever and uh David is um He's larger than life. I mean he would it would be you know, you'd go shopping or something and I remember this one time David He had his own bus by himself with his assistant and he arrived earlier in um Somewhere I I can't remember where it was, but he arrived early and he checked into his room and he would have his his assistant set up his room with candles and blah blah blah and They went out shopping afterwards and when you go shopping with David He would say oh, of course you're gonna afford that now.   You can afford it. Get it. It looks brilliant on you And but I was a job with the media. I got to the hotel and there was fire trucks there and And uh, they they made us come out of our rooms We had just gotten in our rooms. They made us come out And there was a fire up on the penthouse suite and David's trying to get in and the Firemen are like no you can't come in. He's like what what's all this? David coming out. I'm in the top floor and they're like, oh the top floor. That's where the fire is Well, apparently his assistant had lit lit a candle in the bathroom that melted down and Melted the toilet seat and then the whole toilet exploded somehow. I don't know how that works but David and I I was coming out of the hotel on David.  It was one of your smokers must have set a fire, you know It's a great invitation. I love that invitation. And I was like, I don't even have I didn't even have a chance to light up a cigarette in my room. I just got there. We just got here And he's and it turns out it was his room that had the fire and it was it was a funny thing, but Um, but no, he's he's hilarious. We you know David Did he always call you Douglas? No, sorry Douglas Well, anybody he would call you james and see he wouldn't say james. Yes james Here's the scenario james.  Actually, I am I I actually just You know, it was interesting. Um Because now michael devin and brian and I are in the dead daisies.  I go to dc could you Would you do me a favor and post this, you know, we're doing some shows and just, you know Put your stamp on there like hey go see my boys And he did and he did it and I was really grateful about it and um So, yeah, I we're in touch. We you know, he'll send me these joke things He's super into if you follow him on like twitter or whatever especially twitter. I notice he puts Tons of posts every day and it's a lot of really funny stuff A lot of weird stuff, whatever, but he's uh, he's into it and I still remember when twitter came out. He was like, what's this Good thing, you know, and I'm like, well, it's like, I don't know what it is exactly, but It's kind of something everyone's doing. So I'm gonna try it out and when he did We've kind of joined by jove. I love this. Is that what it is? Yes Yeah Yes, of course twitter. I love it It's it's a it's a wonderful outlet these four. How about darling? Does he call everybody darling? Yeah, I love it Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone's everyone's darling He would he would call me sweet prince Yeah, but it was a very nice thing. He would say, Douglas my sweet prince I need you to come up here to like Tahoe and we're going to resume our crafting That's when you know, you spend a lot of time with someone or you can imitate them Well, he's just got it. He's just he's large in life. So it's just like and we're yeah, you're around somebody a lot You can do it.  I'll tell you what would blow me away the tone of that guy's voice what it sounds like you put a mic on there and You know, you you got a good voice, but I don't really have a great voice So like I could go on you give me the most expensive microphone and it would still sound like just kind of lot But david man, he just had this barking voice. It was just like Walk, you know, and it it just really cut really nicely and cut through And the other funny thing about coro when we were we would be you know Now he's got an engineer and stuff, but he would send me in the studio and be like Let's I really like these rough mixes you've been doing. Why don't you do a mix for the album? I'm like I don't know how to do that. I was working with a drum machine before and this is like real drums I don't know anything. I he's I trust you Douglas. You can do it and I I go down I spent like three weeks in his in his studio and I finally figured out how to get a drum sound kind of I think you know and worked out in the end, but um He would then we were mixing and he would go like, okay, the mix sounds great But tuck the vocal then a little bit though. I want to be part of I want to be part of the The orchestra don't make me stand out.  So he would basically ask me like hey, he would say Let's let's go ahead and turn the guitars up. I'm like, I know but I turned the vocal down already He goes, well, let's try it. Just just try it. I turn the guitars up. Okay. Good Do you think we're losing the bass a little bit? I'm like, I think the bass sounds good.  Bring the bass up I'm like Okay Miss I'm losing the kick drum and the snare I'm like, I know because we raised everything and bring give them a give them a bit of love Douglas So he raised them up and like then he would say I believe the vocal is a bit shy now, Douglas And I'm like, yeah, it is very shy right now because everything else came up. It was already shy in the beginning Let's put it back up where it belongs and so everything just got louder and louder And that's how it was funny. It went like that, you know, but I wasn't, you know, experienced enough to know like what how to To really deliver a proper mix. I can do it sort of I can get lucky But I mean the guys that do it for real, they know what they're doing and And uh, you gotta play it on different systems, right? You play it in your car You gotta play it on the speakers you just to understand any because what you're hearing on your headphones and you're hearing on your speakers are two different mixes Oh man, and we do it realities do that We burn a cd and we go in the car and we listen to it We go into do all these different setups and try it and stuff and It was by the time, you know, I mean for me by the time I listened and worked so much on something I have no perspective left. It's like I don't have that that's another problem too Yeah, I wouldn't know if it was like a Grammy award-winning mix or a piece of crap. I wouldn't know it's like I think it's you know rocks. It's loud. I don't know.  I hear I'll hear stuff. I'm like Why do we do it like that because it would have been much better if we would have And I want the thing that bones me out the most Is on certain tracks over the years It'll be like and I remember going hey, can we bring the guitars up just a touch And then when I listened to I'm like The freaking guitar is too loud. It would be a perfect mix if I hadn't asked for that, you know Nobody notices that stuff except the person that is in in deep in it, but There's some stuff that's hard to listen to because this is like We had it and we lost it but that we ran out of time or ran out of money or whatever and that's what it is what it is You know what that's that's hard, you know, you're always chasing that perfect song or sound right and you're always it's a constant Right, it's never because what you like today Was probably not the same thing that you like 20 years ago, you know that maybe you recorded something right Maybe it's coming around a little bit though. Jimmy. I'm actually starting to go back to you know, like I was just I just started a collaboration with black star amps and They're making some really cool. I mean there's a plug right there Yeah, that's where I was just I was playing through and um um But they've got an rd rnd group of people that are really coming up with really cool things and So it started to get my wheels turning and I'd hear other people do some stuff and So I've been kind of going back to I want to get I heard a video clip of um randy roads. It was just this insanely crazy distorted sound but it was like it didn't sound It's just sounded big and warm, but it was over the top crazy. I mean remember when randy would turn his volume up it would squeak and go and I went through a period like that and I'm just experimenting with I'm kind of going full circle. I want to Get some of those toms out of that black star and it's able to do that I'm just kind of learning the amps right now, but they're really really awesome All right, that's a great plug for black star once in a while.  So that's why we always go full circle on everything movies on music Uh on that note. All right, man, you know, we've been talking for about an hour and 22 minutes Probably 20 minutes of it.  It's other Wi-Fi channel channels the right word. Yeah, we don't we don't seem to be having the same problem No, we're not we're good Because the other one's supposed to be the fastest one, but I think what it does it it it automatically moves to the channel with the least amount of traffic. That's what it does okay, well and What John Croy would say in a situation like this is whatever Ravi we got to do a radio show at 7 a.m. Then we're going to be on jimmy short, too Then we're going to do a meet and greet at six.  Whatever Whatever Anyway, we look forward to seeing you guys come see us we're going to rock out together and Montreal always kicks ass the whole tour is going to be great Yeah, yeah, so august the 18th the double CD and vinyl that's coming out the best of a decade I think it's called a decade Yeah, it's a decade of the dead daisies Just you know a few bits and pieces from each record Representing, you know There's a bunch of good tunes on there and it kind of lines up Similar to what our live show is going to be so And I've seen you guys and I got to say man, you guys kick some serious, but The songs that well they're chosen They're just you know you put the song even when you put on a dead daisies album They're all every every track is like you guys just it's so I don't know what how to describe it, but it's it's Maybe the word is refreshing to hear something so Honest and and and raw, but produced at the same time. I don't know what it is. I think it's just great rock and roll That's what it comes down to overall. I can say this We are very blessed and grateful to be doing what we do and it's it's a huge privilege to be able to travel and go to another country or Even just be able to to Play music and and make a living doing it, you know, it's like a serious blessing, so Thanks, you guys.
