Heard Paul Stanley was a bit of a prick before. Both seem to really be about the money and Simmons especially has no shame. One of the reason I never want to meet people I'm a fan of is to avoid potential situations like this and then I could no longer enjoy their stuff.

He talks briefly about The Bonfire not having a UA-cam channel, yet segments of the show are uploaded and Dan sounds like he is glad for that. Too bad Soder didn't say the name of this channel. If the person who controls this channel emailed the show, perhaps a deal of some kind could be made.

      Yeah I remember that one. They both sound grateful that someone compiles & edits everything for them, as they should be. Accessibility(esp when it's free)is no doubt a contributing factor in success in entertainment today. I think that's why Game of Thrones showrunners never discouraged piracy. It's free advertising & money saved not paying someone to run a clips channel. That's why I support creators like this & I support them profiting since it's def a time consuming skill when done right.
