Summary

"Ooooh, Ticketmaster Sucks... Tell me something I don't know!" Okay, smart guy. Everyone knows Ticketmaster is everything that's wrong with the concert industry, right? Well, maybe just go ahead and forget whatever you think you know about how concerts work because the fact is a lot of people have been lying to you for a very long time. Remember how scalpers used bots to get all the good tickets to the concert you wanted to see? Yeah, that's not what happened. Remember when Ticketmaster forced your favorite band to add outrageously high fees to every ticket you bought? That's what you're supposed to believe but it's not the truth. Or what about the time your favorite band had no choice but to use Ticketmaster if they wanted to tour in decent venues? Oh, honey... Look, it'll be okay. If you want to know what's really going down then just press play. Daddy Mark and Daddy Tyler will get you all sorted out.

0:00.0	I don't believe you.
0:11.4	All right.
0:13.4	Nearly every entertainment journalist in the United States whose actual job is covering

0:23.4	already did it and everyone who's mad now should have been paying attention then.
0:27.5	Today, nearly any person who wants to see an artist capable of selling out a major stadium
0:32.8	was not alive when the whole Pearl Jam versus ticket master thing happened.
0:37.2	So shut the fuck up if the only point you're bringing to the table is how old you are.
0:41.4	And B, no, Pearl Jam did not already do this because they did not remotely understand
0:47.2	basically anything about ticket master when that whole fiasco went down.
0:51.3	Real quick, I just like to say that I am oftentimes not a fan of people that are just straight
0:56.3	up media critics.
0:57.3	I think it's pretty like shitty normal like a lowest form of journalism in general.
1:02.8	However, when somebody is actually talking about things that you know a decent amount
1:07.7	about, it is extremely frustrating that people write articles but never actually did any.
1:13.0	They make comments about things that just really just get regurgitated over and over and
1:16.8	over and instead of taking five seconds to Google it or research what actually happened
1:22.9	with ticket master and Pearl Jam just as an easy example because we're going to talk
1:25.8	about it.
1:26.8	They just regurgitate it again and it just makes them look like complete morons when anybody
1:32.0	actually takes literally two minutes to read exactly what happened.
1:36.3	And we'll get into the Pearl Jam thing later but the current situation is radically different
