1
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:14.039
Hey, you have done to true wow crazy you.

2
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.399
This is the pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe

3
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:23.399
Man W four C Y Radio and I'm here with.

4
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:24.920
You're here with Regicide.

5
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:32.240
Nice and I like that you're some proper essex thrash, sir,

6
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.079
because I'm an old school thrash metal head.

7
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:36.039
So excellent.

8
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:37.679
I was very excited to see that.

9
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:39.960
Yeah, I see, we love we love that, We love that.

10
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.560
Well, we all big fans of thrashmaw obviously, and then

11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.200
we put the element of the groove middle in there, so.

12
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.280
Like to break it down a little bit, just kind

13
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.280
of yeah, get a bit of groove going like the hardcore,

14
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.759
like the hardcore elements of things as well. We just

15
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.280
kind of a bit of a mixed match, mixed match

16
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:57.920
of those sub genres. But no, we all love a

17
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.960
bit of thrash, see fast and hard.

18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.399
That's what I love about thrash. Okay, because like I

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.519
find nowadays, there's a lot of genres that it's almost

20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.200
like they use an algebraic equation to formulize their music. Yeah,

21
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.879
thrash was never that, like you take that big for

22
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.719
a thrash. They did not sound the same at all,

23
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.560
and they all had like these different influences to them. Oh, absolutely,

24
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.159
and that's what makes you unique and stand out, and

25
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:25.200
that's the way you should be.

26
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.920
I think the problem is there's a lot of new bands.

27
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.959
They try and do things that that they would that

28
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.640
they would see is unique. But if so many people

29
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.480
do the exact same thing, it just loses.

30
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.480
That uniqueness exactly, Like you.

31
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.439
Need to find your own sound. But like, I don't know,

32
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:45.799
it's more like the actually.

33
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:47.840
It's bringing those different elements in.

34
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.159
Yeah, thrash is quite diverse in some way, That's what

35
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:53.599
I think of it. Like you look at how thrash

36
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.519
was in the eighties and how it's evolved from like

37
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.799
the nineties for example, you know, like I mean.

38
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.680
Completely different two municipal waste.

39
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:03.280
Yeah, absolute.

40
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.799
But then we're throwing the influence of say Pantera and

41
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.439
then say machine Head as well, which has those Lama

42
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.960
God that have the thrash influence. But with the great

43
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.680
thing about thrash metal, any top of metal, really it

44
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:18.800
evolves through Ageyes.

45
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.439
Well, you talk about evolving like machine had a perfect

46
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:28.080
example because Rob started forbidden, he started violence, yes you know,

47
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.680
and then he transformed and evolved into machine Head. Yeah,

48
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.840
you know, and that's what it's about. And like, you know,

49
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.080
I was at slayers first show ever, Metallica's first show ever. Yeah,

50
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:44.120
they weren't the same. Man Like, Metallica was considered power

51
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:48.439
metal at the beginning, you know, And so you take Slayer.

52
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.639
Lombardo was a punk, Hanneman was a punk, Kerrie King

53
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.280
was a metal head, and Tom didn't even know what

54
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:01.039
metal was. And the most iconic thrash metal band ever

55
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:06.120
had all those influences, so you couldn't really label them.

56
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.680
You can label them. That's why. You know, Metallica had

57
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:19.319
the Misfits, the diamond Head, the you know other sa Yeah,

58
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.240
so ye had all those influences, and then you took Anthrax,

59
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.039
who had the hip hop influencer, you know, and you know,

60
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.280
like each band had different influences. They used to consider

61
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.960
possess thrash in the begame, but they were really like

62
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:39.000
the first death metal band, so they incorporated the death

63
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.800
into the thrash. So that is why I like thrash

64
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:47.479
because every one of the bands in that genre, including yourself,

65
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.199
it is somebody I can listen to and not think

66
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:51.520
I'm listening to the other band.

67
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.120
Yeah, exactly, that they're all, Yeah, they're all the same genre,

68
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.560
but they've got their own sound. They've got their own

69
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.439
sort of like little signal ch sound or like maybe

70
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.080
a rare for whatever, that separates them from each other.

71
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:09.800
I think the whole concept of thrash is combining genres.

72
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.319
Bottom line, Yeah, you.

73
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:16.279
Know you you got thrash crossover, which incorporates other genres

74
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:17.399
into thrash.

75
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:18.680
Right like us with Thresh Group.

76
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.399
I was about to say the same thing. Yeah, yeah,

77
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:21.839
we've got the example of us. We do throw a

78
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.120
groove or win with the thrash you know, which I

79
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.240
think is cool, absolutely actually nice.

80
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.439
And fast song with a nice groovy breakdown. Perfect combination.

81
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.560
It's funny too, Like you mentioned about the crossover. So

82
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.199
I remember when dri I grew their hair out. Yeah,

83
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.399
because like in that those times, if you had long

84
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:39.959
hair and you went to a punk show, you got

85
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.319
your ass beat and vice versa. It was fucking stupid.

86
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.560
But dri I set the stage for like, let's all

87
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.199
combine together and you take their first album and their

88
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.839
second album and they're basically all the same songs just

89
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:54.680
done differently.

90
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.519
Well, I'll give the a good example of Pantera. There

91
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.480
were a glam rocks metal band one hundred percent start with,

92
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.600
and all of a sudden they said, let's just play

93
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.480
the stuff we love to play. I said, boom, getting

94
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.480
you know, the backy cargo shorts on, you know, loose

95
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.920
T shirts on, and then they just created a brand

96
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.360
new sound one and the rest was history.

97
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:17.360
And you know, I'm probably been in that era when

98
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:17.959
that came out.

99
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.959
That must have been like, Holy God, that is amazing

100
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:22.360
to see.

101
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.959
It was just a music was it was everything.

102
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.560
It was the look, it was the music, it was

103
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.439
everything involved.

104
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.120
Like if you asked me in the beginning of Pan

105
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.759
Terror if they would be doing a song like walk,

106
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.879
I would tell you you're nuts. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know,

107
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.279
like no, but that, like you said, doing what you love.

108
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.560
And we all transform as metal heads, even as listeners.

109
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.120
Like you know, back when I was a teenager, before

110
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:54.800
Metallica start, before Uh Slayers start, all we really had

111
00:05:55.120 --> 00:06:00.639
was stuff like Priest Maiden Scorpions things like that. So

112
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.839
that and then even before that, like my foundation was

113
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.199
my older brothers and listening to like the sixties stuff

114
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.519
and like to me, Cream and Mountain and bands like that.

115
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.639
They were like the original medal along with Sabbath, you know,

116
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.120
and so it's always been transformation, and that's true of

117
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.439
all of us. Like we didn't just wake up and

118
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.839
like start listening to Slayer.

119
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.720
I mean my first introduction to any kind of rock

120
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:32.120
music with bands like meat Loaf, Brian Adams, Yep, Alice Cooper,

121
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.680
things like that which would considered be would now be

122
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:37.120
considered just like classic rock.

123
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:37.720
Absolutely.

124
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:42.160
Yeah. If you google Zeppelin, they label them on Google

125
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:47.040
as metal. Oh I mean do they yeah? Okay, And

126
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.240
if you think about it, some of the music communication

127
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.920
breakdown could have easily been a metal song. Yeah, you know,

128
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.480
look at the beatles Helter Skelter could easily be a

129
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.399
metal song. Well, you know, I think the great thing

130
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:07.680
about being here at Bloodstock is there are no gatekeepers. Here,

131
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.439
were one big family, so you can't say, well, that

132
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:17.560
wasn't metal, you know, like exactly. And I think that's

133
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.680
also the thing that people think that metal heads only

134
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.000
listen to metal. It's our favorite. But you still can

135
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.360
appreciate all kinds of other music. And that's what makes

136
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.360
spands like you unique because you don't even try. It

137
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.360
just happens to fit into the music because of all

138
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.040
of your influences absolutely.

139
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.920
I mean we like, we like a bit of Irish

140
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.839
folk here and there as well, don't we. Yes, I

141
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.480
like a bit of blues here and there, you know, yeah,

142
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.720
because if you if you narrow, if you narrow your

143
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.439
music taste down to one thing, it just gets like

144
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.120
war it off exactly.

145
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.720
When we we we can't waiting for you come back

146
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.519
from Saxon, me and Jordan were listening to a bit

147
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:55.199
of Luke Holmes.

148
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.040
There you go, there go you do you know what

149
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:57.279
I mean?

150
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.439
A country nothing wrong with that, you know exactly. There's

151
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.879
even some country that you know has that rock feeld,

152
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:07.399
like the New York Country. And then like look at

153
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.639
Hank's Williams the Third he's a metal head and has

154
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:11.319
a metal band.

155
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.079
Same with is it j Rowl He's a metal head

156
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:14.439
as well.

157
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:18.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah, has a metal band. He was metal first,

158
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:24.240
like body Count was before he started rapping, and and

159
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:31.879
they're like brutal, brutal, brutal, and it's so good that

160
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.480
now a days you can do ship like that, you know,

161
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.320
and you don't have to be listen. I did a

162
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.039
festival in the States and one of the metal festivals,

163
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.960
Louder in life and Ice Cube was one of the headliners.

164
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:47.399
Nice you know, and that's the way it should be.

165
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.039
Or you tell I'll tell you a funny story. So

166
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:56.320
Vanilla ice lives in my town, okay, And when I

167
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.840
met him at first, like somebody said, oh, you should

168
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.799
interview him, and I got to roll my eyes and

169
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.240
I laughed, like why. And then I met him and

170
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.000
I got friendly with him. I was broadcasting live at

171
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.159
one of his events and he's helping me pull out

172
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.919
my radio equipment. I had a car and I had

173
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.840
slip knot blasting and he started headbanging and I kind

174
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.759
of rolled my eyes at me. He's like, no, you

175
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.559
don't get it, man, this is my jam. I helped

176
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:27.879
them get signed, like I love metal. Christina aguilera metal head,

177
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:32.120
Lady Gaga. Look at what she fucking did with Metallica.

178
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.720
I was like, holy shit, Like one week she's doing

179
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.240
Tony Bennett, the next week she's doing metal. You know,

180
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.480
it's fucking awesome.

181
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.399
There's a lot more metal heads in the world, especially

182
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:43.960
in the pop.

183
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:45.200
World, that people realize.

184
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.080
Oh yeah, but you know they at the end of

185
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.840
the day, like they got they got they.

186
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:51.480
Got pay bills, didn't they exactly, so.

187
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.720
They you know, they've got their they've got their job. Obviously.

188
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:54.559
I don't know.

189
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:55.679
Maybe it would.

190
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.320
Have been different if Lady Gaga started to miltband and

191
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.639
then got big, she could have been like a massive

192
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.799
metals But where she's gotten so big as a pop

193
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.399
Eye is there's no point of just been like, no,

194
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.559
I don't want to do this because it's not my

195
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:09.720
thing anymore. Yeah, but like you know, yeah, no, there's

196
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.960
there's loads there's loads of artists and loads of people

197
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.799
where I know it's quiet. There might be a misconception

198
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.039
of you see these people wearing band t shirts and

199
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.960
people are like, oh, they probably don't even know five songs. Yeah,

200
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.840
well they're probably bigger metal head than you are. Exactly,

201
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.799
could probably name more songs than you ever knew.

202
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.919
Existed, no doubt, no doubt. And here's the funniest of

203
00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.639
all that you might not even know about. One of

204
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.240
the festivals I cover in the United States just made

205
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:42.879
an announcement that there's gonna be a debut of a

206
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.639
new heavy metal band playing there. Yeah, and it's fucking

207
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:53.000
Captain Kirk ninety five years old starting a metal band.

208
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:58.200
Like who would think that? William Shatner is a metal head, right,

209
00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.039
so there you go.

210
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:00.960
I mean you have to look at Christopher Lee as well.

211
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:07.039
Yes, absolutely, yeah, yeah, there's so many you can mention,

212
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:10.840
and I love that we're just one big family. You

213
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.720
can meet a metal head anywhere in the world and

214
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:15.360
you have instant kinship.

215
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.320
Do you know what the beauty thing about metal is

216
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.720
no matter what country you are in.

217
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.799
It's universal.

218
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:26.639
But they put their culture into their own musically.

219
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.120
Yes, like look at Titanic, thought Blood.

220
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:32.799
Would for example when they had that influence. That's incredible,

221
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:34.360
or the who you know the who?

222
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.679
Yeah, yeah, I.

223
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.240
Love it, even a concrete age that playing the New

224
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.879
Blood stage later today. They their singer is from Russia,

225
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.600
and I think they've I think they've got someone from

226
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:46.840
I don't know if it's positing a Bulgaria. I think

227
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.200
it might have been Bulgaria. But they incorporate loads of

228
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:55.159
like like all these different like ethnic instruments, instruments into

229
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.559
their music, so it's not like it's not just conventional metal.

230
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:02.000
It's like metal with a bit of like like Eastern

231
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.159
European spice on it. And yeah, mate, some of their

232
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.639
songs are phenomenal. They're they're really really good.

233
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.279
And that's what I love about metal because no matter

234
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.080
where you are in the world, you can throw your

235
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.120
own culture into it.

236
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.120
And again another example alien weaponry.

237
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:18.559
For example, Oh I fucking love that.

238
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.039
Yes, you know they do Maori stuff with it. I

239
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.840
think it's great. Again, it's so diverse.

240
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.960
It's the world unior. Absolutely, like if we would just

241
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.240
have one big metal festival for the whole world and

242
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:38.600
no political leaders, we would fucking all get along exactly.

243
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.000
Yeah, you see someone in the Maiden shirt and you're

244
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.440
in say like Costa Rica. You know you've got that

245
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:46.399
connection somewhere.

246
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.799
It's funny you imagine that because I've got Costa Rica

247
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.440
all the time, because I serve there's a huge underground

248
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.759
metal scene. Absolutely, and you wouldn't think of that that,

249
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:56.440
you're right.

250
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:59.720
But Central South American, man, they're they'rest.

251
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:08.480
Fucking Columbia and then Brazil for about exactly the dream exactly.

252
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:11.360
Well you'll make it there, but for now you're at

253
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.679
the Dream of blood stuff. Absolutely, that's badass because this

254
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.200
is I do a lot of festivals since it's one

255
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.000
of my favorites, because we're a big family here.

256
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.279
I was seeing in a previous interview.

257
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.399
You know, like we've as a kid like teenager when

258
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:27.519
you start listening to mew, your your dream is to

259
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:29.159
play a major.

260
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.000
Festival something like this.

261
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.080
And you know we've you come to one of these

262
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.000
festivals is and you're like, I want to be that

263
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:35.960
one day exactly.

264
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.360
And now we're here, we are and we've done it,

265
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.000
and it's it's amazing. You know, it's a great memory.

266
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.440
I can tell you know, my grandchildren or whatever.

267
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.000
What's even better is I bring my grandchildren to these festals.

268
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.519
They helped me win interviews. I bring them in the

269
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.720
pair here not here, but in the States. I'm not

270
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.559
paying for the flight over here. But you know, like

271
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.679
even yesterday, Heavy Soaurus and all the dinosaurs in the

272
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.600
plan and the kids. That was the best shit ever.

273
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:14.559
Fucking evil, scared evil Scarecrow. That was fun as ship like.

274
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.919
That's the message of the metal throughout the world, the

275
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.000
Great United, the Great Therapy. And I'm so happy you're

276
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.440
