Why did T.S. leave or if he was really fired than address it.

[@muziktrkr]

I think they’re having fun with us and Tommy is still a part of it, but there were a lot of shows Tommy just sat there and didn’t say nothing and was doing his “day job” during the podcast. They’re not getting paid to do this except in streams and merch sales, so they can’t be “fired”.

[@martymacleod6824]

Izzy no 🤦‍♂️

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

53:50 Interesting conversation. And Michael's baby-cat🐱 is the highlight of the show🐾

[@JDP11768]

Unmasked was the end for me too. Creatures got me back

[@MBKISSfan]

I agree with Alex about the pinnacle of KISS and how Unmasked alienated me as a fan. And I agree with Mark about all the other albums released in 1980 are better than 70% of the KISS catalog. Izzy was fine, we can tell all you guys are friends, and enjoy giving each other sh*t. Izzy cursed too much for my liking. Tommy was fine too, and I agree with another comment that Mark tends to ramble on too much and Tommy couldn’t get a word in. But hey, he’s got his photog career now. Izzy the permanent guest host.

[@kissdiaries]

I'm so excited, will Tommy be allowed back on the Show?

[@steveandersen469]

The Avatars could The Elder movie a reality

Avatars in Las Vegas the Elder in the Sphere

[@seaneerock57]

Mark and Tommy would be the ideal hosting situation.

[@christophercunningham3257]

Thanks for the shout out guys and for enjoying my reviews. Much Appreciated. And yes Izzy makes the cut great humor and entertaining. :)

[@zumbifer]

Without Tommy it won’t be the same 😢sad news Tommy put his time heart and soul for many years… also he is very intelligent and says interesting things about KISS 💋 I hope this is a joke like you use to do 🎉

[@metalzonemt-2]

I agree that Eric Carr can't play like Peter Criss. But to be fair, Peter Criss also can't play like Eric Carr.

[@anthonycarosella5744]

Tommy couldn't talk much cause Marc doesn't shut up!! Tommy rules!!

[@vegasraiderspetef9883]

He trys a little to hard to impress but if he just goes with the flow he will fit in just fine.

[@fmbighair]

Guys, an unlikely interesting episode here....Izzy, being the dark horse, the Vinnie Vincent of three sides of you will, who "saved three sides" from transitioning into "two sides." Lol "All jokes aside" as Mr ciicinni would say lol....I know the schtick is to paint Izzy as the fall guy for jokes, but seriously, I would love to see him permanently....first of all, what a voice! Second, mark, the champagne of three sides hosts you are BUT, you are wrong about the tempo issues with Eric carr. I totally understand both sides, I'm a drummer too and between that spinal tap or a drum set and the horrific fast tempos that sucked all the groove and grease from the classics, ...it was def because of Paul and gene. Mark, your a business owner, what if one of your masons refused to pay the bricks as you wanted, you would fire him! As far as Izzy's comedy bit comparing kisstards (I'm one of them) to scientologist is DEAD ON and hilarious. Mr tool, (just kidding) make a short out of that and watch it go viral! Hey guys, thanks for the good stuff!

[@JeffPatterson-fb2tf]

2 drunks walking along 5th ave in N.Y. 1 walks down the steps of the subway & comes up the other side the 2nd drunk asks where were you? 1st drunk says I was in some guys basement & Boy does he have a set of trains

[@saultrockcity]

I agree with Izzy on the best Van Halen album being the first one, as Women And Children First was solid, but not a classic like their debut. We all have a different ear for music, so to each their own. I also agree with Lisa on Alice Cooper's ballads being fantastic, as I love "You and Me", I Never Cry, How You Gonna See Me Now, Every Woman Has A Name and some of his other softer songs, as you likely have a better chance of getting hawk tuah'ed with those songs playing, than his heavier stuff lol. As far as Izzy replacing Tommy goes, just work out a schedule with both and hope for the best lol. Entertaining show as always !!

[@vegasraiderspetef9883]

Second side of women was just ok

[@saultrockcity]

@@vegasraiderspetef9883 I absolutely agree, as I just listened to it again yesterday and cannot see how anyone would think it's a better album than the first album, but they must hear things differently.

[@peterrigali5449]

OMG one of my comments finally gets read on the show and this is one of the top 5 most uncomfortable shows LOL I guess Tommy is the glue of this show!

[@fmbighair]

Comedy gold at 1:25:30

[@chriswardell6329]

Tommy is the tool! Izzy! Izzy! Izzy!

[@jonathandepasquale2406]

Tommy is the show!!! This can’t happen!!😂😂

[@jimfarkas2981]

I laughed my ass off quite a bit this episode. Izzy is a funny dude.

[@vegasraiderspetef9883]

Hey Izzy from a fellow las vegan and kiss army

[@mechanicalanimal125]

cool to see Izzy back.... but seriously, no jokes next time, :) . .too bad Mark had to crap on Eric Carr again, which glad Izzy said what he said about the tempo and "who's the boss telling him how to play".....EXACTlY !!!! and yet he'd stickup for Eric Singer, who played like crap for the last 10 years or so with the band (because they are "buddies"). He played like he was bored out of his mind and he didn't do his cool fills like he used to....and guess why....?.....cause Paul and Gene told him to play more basic, and less flash and balls........again....Paul and Gene told all three drummers how to play at some point in each drummers' career in the band !! both Eric's were hired employees and were told how to play. Marks' argument about "oh...he's the drummer he can play at whatever tempo he wants to". Sure they can for 1 or 2 shows, but after that, they are getting chewed out to play how the bosses want them to play....and if they keep doing what they want to do and play whatever tempo they want to, they'd eventually get fired..... also great to see Lisa back! and i don't think i knew Mike had a cat.....or was it on another episode? and hey Mark.....start showing some of your Kiss items again please!!!!!!!

[@kjnodwell]

I have always been a fan of Izzy's...he's got my vote!!

[@joeymiddleton890]

My comment was for Tommy. You guys said to let him know he was fired. I say hire Izzy. He is one 7/11 pasta away from joining Only Fans.

[@martymacleod6824]

Where’s Tommy?

[@craigjohnson9929]

Tough call, they both seem like nice guys 🤔

[@seaneerock57]

The fact that Izzy played "When you wish upon a star" to close his show should eliminate him from contention immediately 😅

[@jdeebs84]

I’m just waiting on a cease and desist from Gene if you guys call yourself two sides of the coin 😂

[@WillieSurvive1]

I saw Martin Popoff’s videos about old album reviews and immediately thought of you guys.

[@tm2761]

Lisa is more like a ghost, or apparition :) , she only appears on occasion and never when you expect it! Izzy works with me as long as he doesn't spend 90% of the show reading his monitor and nodding every few minutes!

[@louislapointe74]

Izzy shot himself in the foot with his "who?" shirt..... so he's back in the minors!! As always Mother Lisa gets a free pass, she's the only one that's easy on the eyes!! And for a trainwreck, this one was of epic proportions!! But who cares, we love you all!!

[@Gordon-i6v]

It's sad when you lose a fishing buddy

[@lowbodyfat6707]

Izzy finally put the Eric Carr "tempo thing" to rest, the people who write the checks do make the decisions Thank you Izzy, you are 100% correct....... sorry Mark he is 100% correct on this,. Eric Carr was not only the best Drummer in Kiss, he was also a great musician, he played every instrument , could sing and write.

[@craigjohnson9929]

On a sidenote: Kirk Cousins was brilliant last night!!

[@JaimeBond-x9d]

Give him a great six figure contract

[@Rewind321-]

I know you guys are just full of it, trying to cause some shit and giggles, You know we all love Tommy

[@JDP11768]

Tommy who

[@richcharvel7162]

24:32...I agree with Izzy.

[@ThrillingTwo]

Izzy would be a great addition to the show. But Tommy's not going anywhere i hope.

[@quitruiningtheplanet]

Bring Mitch back.

[@MichaelBrandvold]

He is no longer podcasting.

[@vegasraiderspetef9883]

Unmasked was not only the worst album cover but the worst kiss album ever

[@CrazyLG72]

Did Tommy get the VV treatment lol? Thats what happens when you decline to sign the 3 Sides contract! Jk Hopefully Tommy makes it back soon

[@AustinLCampbell]

More Izzy!!!

[@jamesmclean9165]

No

[@peterrigali5449]

Izzy as a cohost - 👎

[@bigtimeblues6922]

Easily one of your worst episodes ever
