Chapter 1: What is Gene Simmons' new Netflix special about?
It was, like, really thick. And it was Christmas time, and it was a few days before Christmas. I'll shorten it because you have a meeting to go to.
Cancel your meeting.
Yeah. I'm kind of a big deal. You are a huge deal.
I grew up listening to your music from the time I was born in 1970. So sorry. Why?
I love your music. Your mom was a fan and everything?
No, my mom wasn't. I was.
She's no longer...
Yeah, she's around.
She's around?

Chapter 2: How did KISS choose their iconic makeup?
And your likeness, too, as well, right? Not under the makeup. Oh. Oh.
Hey, can I ask you a weird question? I never touched her.
You are so fast.
I've heard that before, too. What?
Was there a day you guys all picked out your makeup paint?
No. It happened... You know, they call it a singularity in science. 52 years ago, something like that, where four knuckleheads off the streets of New York with... No experience, no resume, no qualification. And I remember even back then, we had this strange notion, let's put together the band we never saw on stage.
You guys were the first of, there's nothing like Kiss before Kiss.
Yeah.
And there's things like Kiss now. Yeah. But there's nothing before Kiss like Kiss. Yeah.
