I just want to make a quick speech here at the Napster New Year's Eve party. I know tensions are a little high because we're scared we might all lose our jobs if all the computers stop. But I just want to say how proud I am of our company and I know and I know that we will be around for the next 25 plus years being at the top of our game rolling in dough. So to us Napster may we live forever. To us to us. Happy New Year's Eve everybody. How'd I do?

Up there. To us, to us, to us. To us, yes. Happy New Year's Eve everybody. How'd I do? You crushed it, you killed it. You were so convincing. That was amazing. Thank you, thank you so much. And Melissa, like you asked, I fed your Tamagotchi while you were giving that speech, so here you go.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. So we've also been liquidating all of the company's assets, so that process is almost complete. You guys, I'm gonna ask this one more time. Is there any way we can make any money? Our whole thing is sort of just ripping off. Well, we don't use that term. Yeah, we don't use that term.

I'm sorry. We're paying homage. Yeah, I know that we that term. I'm sorry. We're paying homage. Yeah, I know that we haven't made a single dollar because it's all about. The company is worth money. Is that what you're asking? Okay. So yeah, we have been liquidating assets

and getting as much out of the company as possible as per your orders, but I don't understand what you're asking about making. We're making I mean, you're making money. You're going to be making a lot of money. Right. But how do we make money when all we do is don't think we steal stuff and then let other people steal stuff, you know? You know.

Well, Sean, I guess I'll just be quiet because I just don't want any of the employees. Yeah. Yeah. Bye. Bye. Yeah. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Happy New Year.

Get home safe. Happy New Year. Get home safe. Mwah, mwah, mwah. I'm going to say this. I'm going to throw this out. Is it advertisements? Could that be something?

Is that some way that we could be... Are we doing... There is money, you know? Yeah. Right. There's money somewhere you know? Yeah. Right, there's money somewhere, right? I'm selling printers, I'm selling computers, I'm selling stuff. Yeah.

That's getting, you know, there's money being generated from liquidating the company. Right, right. And I know that this, the beginning of the end, we'll call it, started when the bare naked ladies wrote us a super angry letter saying, you're taking money from us. Fuck you guys.

Yeah. Fuck you. But it was so weird. Our album sales have been cut in half. Yeah. Yeah. And it was funny. Am I wrong?

Because it's like, I know they're a band, but the letter was actually pretty funny. It was very funny. Yeah. What part did you laugh the hardest at? Oh yeah, Sean, what was your favorite part? Oh, I think it was when they said in the letter, and this is how I read it, but it was like, you owe us a million dollars.

And then parenthetical, you owe us a million dollars. Yeah, that part to me, cause I was like cracking up at that. Yeah, my favorite was probably up top where they're like, and it was written, but I read it as, it's been one year since we asked you to, so I thought that was. It's been.

It's been. Yeah. And this could just be the way that I read it in the letter, because I'm not necessarily sure what the tone of the letter was. But I liked how they said, when they were talking about how they wanted their assets back, that they said, put it in a shoe box.

Shoe box of our files. Put it in a shoe box of our files. That's how it kind of, that's fun, to me, that's funny. Didn't you, Melissa? Yeah. Didn't you date one of the Bear Naked ladies? Isn't that the line, watching X-Files with no lights on? Isn't that about you?

Yes. Okay, that's embarrassing. Do you think that's why they're coming after us? Some sort of lovers revenge in the letter? It says at the end, it says lovers revenge. How does it all been done? Go. It's all been done. That's I remembered. It's all been done. You had it. Yeah, you had it. Yeah, you asked it then you immediately launched into the correct way You knew it. That song's about you as well. I've been ruminating the last two minutes, right? Yeah, try to think about like what are some of the lyrics?

The speech was wonderful and then you came off of it and you immediately asked us like is it good? What's it good? It's like, you know, it's good. You know I don't know guys. I'm the CEO of Napster, I'm making it so all these musicians will never get paid again, I'm sort of changing the. No, that's unfair. The landscape of music and. That's unfair, you're not doing that to them.

You're doing something for you, and that's completely different. Yeah, never apologize for doing something for yourself that's what the bare-naked ladies don't understand mm-hmm that's what Chumbawamba doesn't understand I was gonna say his name but let's just say that's what Chumbawamba doesn't understand I'm so tired of Chumbawamba going I'm I'm the best I'm the best I write all the hits I mean I'll say right now they're gonna be around for 20 years 30 years. I think they are

The Pink Floyd of our day. I think we're gonna see here we go again. I mean I put money on it in Vegas pissing And also pissing pissing Well, can you take's more germane to tonight. He takes a lager drink, he takes a cider drink. Sorry, sorry. Sean, you were saying something. Yeah, who is?

This is not, I mean, this is neither here nor at home. Hey, happy new year, mwah mwah mwah. Happy new year. Hope you're having a good time. Happy new year. Who are you guys gonna, who are you guys gonna, who are you guys planning on kissing tonight?

Well. Cause I'm doing the math, the three of us, it's like, obviously, you know, three of us. Maybe two of us pair off and- Two of us pair off. One gets lost or- Yeah, it's like, I'll just say it right now,

I don't wanna be the one who isn't kissing anyone. Well, if I'm... I've never done a New Year's where I haven't got kissed and I don't want tonight to be, because of poor planning, to be a New Year's where I don't get kissed. Wow, never not been kissed. I was sort of hoping that... I'll play on a movie that's out now.

And this is embarrassing, guys, and I know- I know it's stupid to wish and hope for this, but I was hoping that Stephen Page from The Bare-Naked Ladies would show up and- Oh, Melissa! Kiss me. Your ex? Yes. I do think Stephen Page from The Bare-Naked Ladies is still pretty mad at you. Did you think there was gonna be some sort of forgiveness or?

Love and hate are very closely tied together. Yeah. It's all been done. I think Stephen Page is more firmly on the hate side. Yeah, if you name an album, Stunt, you're mad. Mm hmm. And we've instant is out.

Yeah, yes, I at least have a preview. It probably well, you're never gonna get it. Who needs sleep? Tell me what's that for? Who needs sleep? Baby, having to get in the guys men and wakes at the second world war. Who needs sleep? Well, what's that for? Who needs sleep? Baby, have it getting the guys man wakes at the second world war who needs sleep? Well, you're never gonna get it Melissa that's it. That's that's our new idea. We take the money from liquidating Napster and we put it into a website where you sing songs

No, no one would pay for that what if we called it cuz ah Did you mean to say huzzah? No. Huzzah's a thing. Kazaa is nothing. And that's why, but can't shant it be something? Limewire. Shant it be?
