Dan Reed

And when you looked at Heisman and the platform and the tradition and the brand, how did you sort that all out? What did you see from afar? And then when you got in, what did you see? And then what was your plan going forward?

So I think first it starts with a board, our board chair, Dan Reed, Mike Comerford, the vice chair who helped to transition to this next era of Heisman.

I think they had a very clear sense that over the course of the three years of Heisman, going back to the Downtown Athletic Club, a prestige asset of the DAC, I think one of the most important things the DAC did was involve the media.

in the voting for the Heisman.

You can't stop rock and roll You can't stop rock

um okay so here's one where i was a little let down when i heard the product uh shogun mojo featuring former kiss guitarist tommy thayer and dan reed from of course the dan reed network that band was just made for him uh have released their debut out or announced their debut album and released the first single a song called under the gun have you listened to this yet

yeah you know we speculated for a long time like now that kiss is done yeah What's Eric Singer going to do? What's Tommy Thayer going to do?

Yeah, because I was like, okay, the guy from Dan Reed Network and the guy from Kiss and Black and Blue doing a project together, let's hope it leans towards the Kiss and Black and Blue territory, even though Jamie St. James I was not a fan of.

It definitely sounds like a Dan Reed Network song to me.

Wasn't Vinnie Vincent in that band at one time? No.

No, maybe I'm thinking, what am I thinking of?

I mean, Dan Reed Network never had, I don't think they ever had a big hit or anything.

It is harrowing.

It is a film directed by Dan Reed about going into details of the accusation by Wade Robson and James Safecheck.

who alleged that they were sexually abused as children by Michael Jackson.

When it first came out in 2019, there was a brief blowback.

oh that just feels like such a cop-out way to remove that

so the minute that it kind of um happened um It was pulled from all services and not renewed.

There is a new film by Dan Reed that was done for Channel 4 in Britain called Leaving Neverland 2, Surviving Michael Jackson.

I have not seen it.

And there was some sort of, you know, discrepancy there, which I can totally understand because...

I'm sure when the movie hit, Dan Reed was like, you need to be honest about everything.

You can't hold anything back.

And I more than liked it.
