Episode 543. This week is part two of Michael’s KISS footlocker. We spend the entire episode looking at the many KISS items found in the footlocker, sharing stories of the items. We start off with Chris Lendt’s letter that was a reply to Michael’s inquiry about a job with KISS. We also find the original notes Michael took when Gene Simmons called him and offered him a job. Mark informs Michael that a large sticker in a scrapbook is actually a mint condition KISS record player sticker. So much stuff is found you just have to watch!

Forget the haters, we won!
