00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.560 Did you go to a show where it was just like that out of control? 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.079 No, I mean I've seen you know, so let's talk about it. 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.800 There's a difference between the shock of staged theatrics, right? 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.480 Where they're following kind of like a pre-ordered script. 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.879 Yes, like the example that I'm thinking of is when I saw exhumed last year. 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:45.519 Oh, okay. 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.120 What did they what did they do? 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:54.000 They they have a little bit that they do where the guitarist uh goes through a mock execution of the heading. 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:54.560 Oh. 00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:02.959 So they they have a little guillotine that they have up there, and he puts his head through, and the blade comes down and the head falls into a basket. 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.439 And you know, I mean they've rehearsed it a million times. 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.839 Does it look does it look cool or does it look realistic? 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:09.839 Oh yeah, no, it doesn't look cheesy at all. 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:11.120 Okay, wow. 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:28.480 And and then um the guy the there's there's they have like this uh this guy, this mad scientist, mad doctor with uh you know medical scrubs and a mask, and he's constantly like looking at you and he would like pick up the head and swing it around and all kinds of you know, everybody would get drenched in blood. 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:29.040 Uh-huh. 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.680 Um, you know, and I I I was laughing the whole time. 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.079 I got hit with the blood, but it was still fun. 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.600 I'm guessing they got some of that from Alice Cooper because Alice Cooper used to do that. 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:38.720 That's right, right. 00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.959 So, you know, there's a lot of stage theatrics, and I was gonna bring him up, right? 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.600 Alice Cooper also like Kiss. 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:46.959 Yeah. 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:51.279 Um I don't know that I would put Ozzy in that. 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.319 No, yeah, no, I don't know. 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:57.040 Like I yeah, I don't know about that. 00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.120 He didn't he never seemed to go that over the top. 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:07.600 It was like there's stage props and stuff, but he never he never, I don't think, got too involved in theatrics himself, like costumes and stuff a little bit, maybe, but nothing like too crazy. 00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.079 Well, I was thinking about the bat episode, the interesting thing. 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:20.240 Yeah, the bat, yeah, yeah, the bat episode, but yeah, but that was not scripted, and that's why I don't think that he belongs in that group of no, I wouldn't no, I wouldn't categorize him in that group either. 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.040 You know who I would put in the category early on would be Bowie. 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:24.720 Oh, yeah. 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.920 Because I mean Bowie when he yeah, when he came out as Ziggy Stardust, people were like, what the fuck is that? 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:41.600 And then but it was this character, and it was like one of the first times that you know somebody took it to that level of theatricality, but not the way I didn't think, but but he didn't I never thought he was going for shock though. 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.439 I always thought he was going for art. 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.120 Yeah, I would agree with that. 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:45.839 You know what I mean? 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.480 So I don't think he was trying to shock anyone any more than anyone. 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:49.360 No, I don't think so. 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.279 I think that's just was his artistic vision. 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:51.680 Yeah. 00:07:51.839 --> 00:08:05.360 So now going back to the shock value, do you think there's uh value in that, or do you think it diminishes the band's I I'm sure it depends on the band, but overall, do you think it's something it takes away or do you think it's something that adds? 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.759 First of all, it it totally depends on the band. 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:10.240 Right. 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:19.759 Uh you know, you can't you can't put a Gigi Allen performance on the same shelf as Alice Cooper. 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.160 Right. 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:21.600 It just isn't the same. 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:29.600

Um because with Gigi Allen you felt a sense of real danger being around true. 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.039 Well, also let's let's mine into that for a second. 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:40.480 Do you think if Gigi Allen didn't do that, would he get would his music been enough to carry his career? 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.799 Oh, that's a good way of framing it. 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:43.840 You know what I'm saying? 00:08:44.080 --> 00:09:01.279 Like take out the shock, leaving the music just like if he was just like a regular performing kind of guy without scaring shit on himself and punching people in the audience, would he have still like let's say even just as a punk artist, would he have still had the same carried the same weight or had the same legend or drew the same amount of people? 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.200 Do you think that would have happened or no? 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:17.759 I I th I don't think he would have been less popular because his music and his lyrics were were actually quite um you know, just just angry. 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:26.159 Um I think he, you know, in true punk fashion, he poked fun at, you know, uh uh orderly society. 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.519 And uh, you know, uh just look at the song titles of offense. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:40.639 But you know, if you took away the the craziness aspect of it, you'd still have a lot of people going to those shows because he was a true punk. 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:48.960 If he never got the stage and he all he did was, you know, shake his fist while he was going nuts on stage by himself and it didn't disrobe or anything like that. 00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.480 Uh people would still say, Man, he's fucking great. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.879 Okay, he's fucking great at what he does. 00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:04.320 But I know that there's at least a section of those fans that went specifically to see the the craziness for the chaos, just to see what happened. 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:04.639 Yeah. 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.759 Because there's a lot of people in society that vibe off of that shit. 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:16.000 Oh, they vibe off of chaos, they vibe off of instability and violence, yeah, and it just tickles a funny bone in them that you wouldn't get at a different show. 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:16.639 Oh, yeah. 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.320 Well, no, I mean, even to the point where they don't care if the show gets shut down. 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:30.000 Because I've been I I've I was I've been to shows where they got kind of crazy, and the the the worst show I was ever at where uh like SWAT team rag gear showed up. 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.600 I mean, like oh shit, yeah. 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.919 It was in Allentown, it was a Pungent Stench and Acid Bass show. 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:36.720 No shit. 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:45.759 Well and Pungent Stench was head headlining, and right in the middle of their set, well, actually, just at the beginning of their set,

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:25.279 I I do feel that they uh believed very strongly in the messages that they were sending and how they felt about Christianity. 00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:32.079 That they wanted to destroy it, that they viewed it as a threat to you know the prosperity and peace of the world. 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.960 And uh you can't really blame them that much. 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:37.359 So I don't blame them. 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:54.400 You know, if you if you build up a few symbolic acts and you burn a few churches in the process, you know, may maybe you will cause more than a few people to stop and think, like, oh, maybe it's this organized religion has flaws, you know. 00:28:54.480 --> 00:29:04.319 Maybe there are people that are on the fence about it that at least help them to think a little more critically about you know, uh, you know, we're not talking about we're not talking about faith. 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.920 We're talking about the perils of brainwashing. 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.480 Right. 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:09.519 You know what I mean? 00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.599 So I think they were very much against and you know, it's it's a what do you call it? 00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.799 What's the word I'm thinking of? 00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:22.799 It's uh it's an institution of a society kind of allowed to operate unchecked. 00:29:23.039 --> 00:29:39.200 And you know, radical among us may even term bands like Burism as uh gatekeepers of uh, you know, what should be allowed as far as uh you know, unfettered, you know, just religious vomit. 00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:44.000 Yeah, yeah, brainwashing vomit because there's a lot of vulnerable people that get sucked into it. 00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:52.240 When I worked as a psych tech in a in a psych hospital, a lot of the patients that were in the hospital were fervently religious. 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.319 One guy would w walk around, he would just carry a Bible around, he would just read it, and then he would read passages of it to you. 00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:12.240 And he wasn't like a religious person, but it just glommed onto his brain and kind of meshed really well with the schizophrenia to the point that that was a part of his new personality. 00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:13.119 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:29.680 I do believe that they they uh really strongly believed in it, and they've talked about wanting to destroy the you know the Christian church, the Catholic Church, and uh you know, after some of the atrocities that you've heard about, I don't know that how much I really blame them for doing that. 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:35.039 But I do think that they recognized the theatrical value in doing that. 00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:35.759 Yeah, yeah. 00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:36.799 You know what I mean? 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.279 Yeah, they definitely milked the press out of it. 00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:47.519 Well, I mean, when Mayhem, when uh dead killed himself, they used his for some of those bootlegs, they were using his suicide picture for the cover. 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.319 Yeah, I mean stuff like that that you know that that they they did. 00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:54.640 So it's just like, yeah, it's it's kind of crazy that they that they would go to that level, but they did. 00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:58.880 So I think I read that it was the band member that walked in before the police came. 00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:03.839 It was, and he also, yeah, he took the picture, it was the guitarist, he took the picture. 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:10.000 Uh the legend goes is that he also uh took a piece of his skull and you had it on a necklace. 00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.599 Oh yeah, and also that he supposedly fried up a piece of his brain and ate it. 00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:16.000 We talked about on that on Frank's on Frank's podcast. 00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:16.799 That's right, that's right. 00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:20.319 But yeah, that's now I don't I'm I'm thinking that part's horse shit, but who knows? 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.720 But uh, but that thing with the skull is supposed to be real. 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.319 So, but yeah, he took the picture and you know that's that's how it went. 00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:27.119 So yeah. 00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:43.279 Um I was actually kind of adjacent to that a little bit, not that event, but um, I had the opportunity to work with dissection and the guitarist, the main guy John, he went to prison

for a while, and he went to prison because he was an accessory to murder. 00:31:43.359 --> 00:32:00.720 It was um a thing where another black metal dude that he knew had borrowed a gun of his and had gunned down uh a gay a gay person in Norway or wherever it was, or Sweden, this was in Sweden, and uh and then John was arrested as an accomplice, as a as an accessory to murder. 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:08.240 So it was one of those things where they do carry that hatred over to uh other that they can carry that beyond the church and other you know areas too. 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:15.680 So I don't know if John knew about what the intent of the guy with the gun was, but you know, I don't know if he was like how much he had to really do with that. 00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.720 Um, because I didn't I didn't think he was like quite that bad, but you know, you never know with these guys. 00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:24.400 So but you know they made a brilliant album, but it's still one of those things. 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.240 They made they some made some amazing music. 00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:36.319 But at the same time though, when I learned of that, it was kind of hard to think about like trying to work with a band like that, because it's just like dealing with this guy is kind of like a he's he's not a murderer, but he's an accessory to it. 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.440 I don't know where he stands and if he feels that way about gay people. 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:42.559 I don't feel like I don't I don't I don't have a hate for gay people like that. 00:32:43.039 --> 00:32:45.200 So you know, so I don't want to deal with that kind of shit. 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:48.319 So but but you know, it it kind of rubs off on you a little bit. 00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:51.759 Yeah, you kind of get caught in that in that kind of wave of it a little bit, you know. 00:32:52.559 --> 00:33:03.359 Well, I mean I think out of a crowd of musicians, a couple of them are gonna have that uh uh talking about extreme metal musicians. 00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:08.079 Yeah, yeah, you know, I mean it it attracts a certain personality type. 00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:21.599 Um makes it a lot it facilitates that melding of the person too, you know, that that lifestyle uh makes it a little bit more uh believable, yeah, easily attainable. 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:27.839 Yeah, um you know, and that's yeah, that was the you know the whole part of the the satanic panic of the of the eighties. 00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:29.039 Yeah. 00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:33.759 People worrying that you know the music was gonna turn people into mass murders and all that. 00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:43.519 But if you look at the like ratio or percentage of the number of people that actually went on to commit crimes and lead lives of crimes, it's not that high. 00:33:43.680 --> 00:33:46.240 No, it's not any higher than it is in the general population. 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:47.680 On average, yeah. 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.720 No, no, it's not. 00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:49.039 Yeah. 00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.799 I think there are more people into metal now than there ever were. 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:54.000 Oh, I agree with that. 00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:54.400 Yeah. 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:59.839 It's just that most of them are like underground because metal is not a popular uh format anymore. 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.400 Right. 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:04.079 But you have a lot more people that are into metal now than there were in the 80s. 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:15.599 So I feel more comfortable making that statement that if you have 10,000 metal musicians and 20 of them are hardened criminals, I mean isn't that kind of like general society? 00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.079 That's pretty probably pretty average, yeah. 00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:18.880 Yeah. 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:19.760 All right. 00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:24.880 So uh anything else on the subject of shock and metal or no, I'm sufficiently shocked out. 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:25.440 Thank you. 00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:30.639 Okay, so that moves us over into metal news. 00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:54.800 So I saw now this story kind of changed along the way, but Incantation has uh when they were touring here recently, they were asking fans to bring non-perishable food items to the shows. 00:34:54.960 --> 00:34:55.440 Yeah. 00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:05.280 Now, I heard initially that the reason they were doing that because they were bitching about the hospitality at the shows, like the green room where you know the bands get like food and stuff. 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:09.360 They were saying that the quality was like really terrible and they just weren't getting fed well. 00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.559 They were giving them crap or something. 00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:13.519 They were giving them crap or whatever, and that was supposedly the reason. 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.920 Now, that story came out. 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:24.239 The reason came out, but then another article came out, and then John uh from uh Incantation said, No, that wasn't true. 00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:27.519 We were doing that to donate the movie to food banks. 00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:37.199 Okay, you know, I I'm kind of questioning was what were they originally doing for the bad hospitality? 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:38.800 Then they shifted the narrative. 00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.239 Oh, I see what you're saying. 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:41.039 You know what I'm saying? 00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:45.840 Like, like uh because the story changed, and I was wondering, well, did somebody just get the facts wrong? 00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:50.559 Or you know, like where did that thing come from about the bad hospitality then, right? 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:55.119 So that's why I'm kind of like, meh, what happened with the little bit one of these? 00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:56.960 Yeah, that's boy. 00:35:57.039 --> 00:35:58.400 That's really that's odd. 00:35:58.559

--> 00:36:05.199 I didn't experience that with that story because when I first read the story, both pieces were in that story. 00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:06.320 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:06.559 Okay. 00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.880 So it didn't strike me as, oh, it started off as this and then it became this. 00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:11.199 Yeah. 00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:23.920 It was it it to me, it just sounded like, you know, um, there was an element of like I I'm not gonna use the term food scarcity in a green room environment. 00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:24.880 You know what I mean? 00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:38.719 But you know, if they fucking walked in there and all they were given was cheese and crackers, and then they had to go out and buy a bunch of food and then went, holy shit, look at we just spent$150 between the four of us just for you know tonight and tomorrow. 00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.280 Yeah, right. 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:41.519 This every night, right, right, yeah. 00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:47.920 And that I'm thinking that probably spurred them on to think, you know, and you know, it's all over the news, yeah. 00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:56.880 The fucking inflation rate and and and food inflation, you know, people are having to make choices between you know buying medicine or eating, right? 00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:03.199 Putting the guts in the tank or paying their utilities, you know, uh it's it's hurting everybody right now. 00:37:03.519 --> 00:37:07.360 So I I I I'll put it out there this way. 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:14.159 Even if that were to have been the case, I'm glad they settled on let's give food to food banks. 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:14.639 Yeah, yeah. 00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:15.119 Me too. 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:16.639 Food that's donated to us. 00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:24.880 You know, it's a real feel-good thing, and you know, you do you know, I I wouldn't put it past them to feel like you know, we want to try to do something. 00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:26.159 Yeah, 100%. 00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:34.880 Yeah, you know, yeah, they've been around for a long time, so they have the power to to uh uh encourage people to do certain things, you know. 00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:35.920 Yeah, absolutely. 00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:50.079 Well, yeah, I like that idea of the of the food banks for sure, but uh yeah, and and and I know and you know too from playing in bands, it's you know, sometimes you get treated like shit, and you know they don't have anything, so you know I think both kind of sides of that are pretty legitimate, actually. 00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:51.920 So yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:58.079 Um, did you see that Eric Morati, the drummer for suffocation, yeah, has suddenly quit. 00:37:58.159 --> 00:38:04.719 Uh stating now, uh again, controversial stories here, a little bit on on the either side here. 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:14.239 Um, but he's saying that he quit because uh supposedly that he's basically classifying the

members of suffocation as being abusive drug addicts, is what he said. 00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:29.679 Yeah, he's now playing with Sangma Sugarbog as their drummer, he's on tour with them with Lam and God, and suffocation came out and said, No, the reason he was let go was because of his conflicts with Tori Sangma Sugabog for you know our Torium with suffocation. 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:31.119 So that's what they're saying. 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:33.920 So the truth I find usually falls in the middle somewhere. 00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:36.800 But did you ever hear of suffocation be drug addicts or anything? 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:47.199 No, no, I and I I know uh a couple of the guys in internal bleeding who are close to the guys in suffocation because of the proximity geographically on long. 00:38:48.960 --> 00:39:02.880 Um, and and I've seen uh I met Mike Smith once, who was the old drummer on like the first couple of albums, uh first few albums, and and uh you know he was a completely mellow, totally cool guy. 00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:05.679 They didn't I don't know, they just didn't come off that way. 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:08.400 I don't think so either, but you know, I mean you never know. 00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:09.199 I mean, what the hell? 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:21.199 I mean, nobody knows what goes on behind the scenes except for the band members, but um it just seemed kind of extreme that he came out with that statement and was kind of like um big fuck you and but they were kind of they were being kind of chill about it, so I don't know. 00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:26.079 Yeah, yeah, that doesn't really paint a really good picture in his defense. 00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:36.159 No, uh it could have been something as simple as maybe a couple of them like to, you know, puff on weed after band practice, yeah. 00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:42.960 Um, or you know, maybe maybe one of them's got a fucking vape pen that he's hitting, but shows up to practice, goes to work. 00:39:43.199 --> 00:39:43.920 You know what I mean?

00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:06.159 Something like that, yeah. 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:13.519 Um, but they had a long career and their music changed pretty pretty radically over the course of their career. 00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:26.320 And the Ethereal Mirror catches them at the beginning of their incorporation of more rock and and metal into the songwriting. 00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:30.400 Because if you listen to the the first album, it's fucking brutal. 00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:30.800 Yeah. 00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:39.840 And it sounds really raw and and uh not exactly lo-fi, but you it's almost sounds kind of like a demo in some ways, yeah. 00:48:39.920 --> 00:48:45.440 Yeah, uh, but the riffs are tremendously heavy and the vocals are are just like brutal as fuck. 00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:47.679 But that's not the first album that I heard. 00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:49.440 I heard the Ethereal Mirror first. 00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:50.400 Oh, I see. 00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.760 Oh wow, that must have been a jolt when you heard the other stuff then. 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:56.000 Yeah, because I so different. 00:48:56.239 --> 00:49:01.199 Yeah, uh that the first album made a lot more sense to me that that was Lee Dorian. 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:01.760 Yeah, yeah. 00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:05.840 But the Ethereal Mirror, I'm like, what the hell happened to the vocals? 00:49:07.119 -->

00:49:09.199 You know, that was my first song. 00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:19.519 Um in the ensuing 30 years, I have grown to like the vocals because they they they got better. 00:49:19.679 --> 00:49:24.239 Um even after the Ethereal Mirror, um, when they did um what is it called?
