Transcript
- Cody: everyone. Welcome to the postgame for quarterfinals three. tonight I am joined by the one and the only Jacob Elishar. How you doing Jacob? Jacob Elyachar: Cody, it's so good to be here. This is a perfect birthday week present. I was selling you off the R Thursday. September third is my birthday. So thank you so much for the birthday present. Cody: Well, happy birthday to you. Glad you could come on. Jacob Elyachar: Thank you so much. Boy, my friend, this episode was surprising in so many ways. Cody: Absolutely. I I don't feel like we had some great acts to begin with, but I think the results kinda threw us for some loops on a couple of things. Jacob Elyachar: absolutely. I was like saying there are so many acts. I'm like, really? that act over this act? Are you knucking futs? Cody: Yeah. Well, let's let me give the business real quick and then we will get right into the results and we'll go through each one one by one. So of course you can find us on our socials at AGT Time Pod. You can email us AGT Timepod at Gmail dot com. You can check out our website, AGT Timepod.com, and you can check out Jacob at Jacob Elyashar. E L Y A C H A R. Right? Jacob Elyachar: Ding ding ding ding. Cody: Look at look at that. Look at that. so we're gonna go through each one of these. of course we had our we had our 11 axe, and Lay Noel is already going through with the Golden Buzzer. d did did he do a good job last night, Jacob? Did Keenan do did Keenan do a good job? Jacob Elyachar: I like Keenan. Keenan I he got a selfie with me in New York. But here's the thing. Keenan should have gone w missed the boat on several different occasions. So I think Le Noel, I think he felt guilty because he Simon's not getting his chance to do that. And like, yes, he made his AGT history because Lei is the second act to receive back-to-back golden buzzers this season alone, followed by Hunger Fingers. But the thing was, I would have traded that thing for Holland, Sienna, or Acro, Crane Crew. Those were that was more obvious. I'm not sure why Leigh did it. I think he was guilty because Sophia told him that he was that she that Simon robbed her of the chance. So I think he needed to redeem. Her or something like that, but I like Lei, but seriously, you're going up against Nene, and that is not gonna be an easy task. Cody: No, no, that's not gonna be good for her at all. It's that's gonna be kind quite a big hill to climb for her. But as far as just Keenan in general, I was just really disappointed kind of in Keenan as a whole. I just didn't think he had a good night. I felt he was kind of a dud. Jacob Elyachar: I think so too. The thing is and I said this on Twitter, I said this. Judges, bring back Neil Patrick Harris from way back Cody: Yes. Jacob Elyachar: 11 years ago. I still remember his guest judging. Pitt, he has an eye for talent. Pitt the Magic Dragon, look at him now. Still sublining, headlining tours, and also still in Vegas. So that's a huge thing. So that and besides, it would have been nice to have. I know that he and Simon had a rivalry during Idol way back in the day. But like the thing is, that chemistry between Neil and Sophia would have been amazing. Cody: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. so Le Noel's going through with Keenan's Golden Buzzard. Again, it was still a surprise to have Keenan even on the show as well. We just we thought they were gonna go with three, but AGT's been doing the exact opposite of what we thought on this podcast anyway. So next week we're gonna get Heidi, which we didn't think again, who saw Heidi coming back? Jacob Elyachar: I think fans were shocked. I am gonna say Reddit had a field day, Instagram had a field day, Facebook had a field day. They were very happy that Heidi, it's been a very big consensus on social media that having Heidi back is great. I agree. I miss Heidi. I think time has, I think a lot of fans would prefer Heidi to be back over Mel B next season. But the thing is, she cannot break her di her pro Disney Plus contract. You cannot get on the bad side of the mouse house. Cody: Yep, yep. Okay, so let's go through our remaining groupings. We had our five groupings, ten acts, five five groupings of two. The first grouping was Acro, Canine Crew and Maria. I thought this was an interesting grouping. Acro Canine Crew is on my my fantasy team, so I was excited to see that. I didn't think Maria was very good at all. so I was very excited to see that Acro Canine Crew is going through the top five. Jacob Elyachar: Same with me because the thing is with ac and I said this on Instagram and on Twitter. Acroca9, you know Cody, you know my history with animal acts and how much I despise them. This year, Cody: Yes Yes. Jacob Elyachar: when you combine dance and you combine dogs, they did a magical thing. And I gave them a shout-out. they were one of the my golden buzzers that I selected. And also I gave them a shout-out on the in on Instagram and said that and they said thank you so much. And that meant the world to me that they this is an act I love Secina. a fusion of dance and animal and so everything could go happen could go wrong but they did it and I really hope and pray that they have that are in the some that are they go to the live shows the live finals Cody: What do you think of us having two dog acts in the semifinals? That's never happened. Jacob Elyachar: I don't think so. I can't remember when we had two dog acts. Cody: I don't think we've ever had two dog acts make it to the live shows. Jacob Elyachar: Yeah, it was either a latte dogs or it was the season eighteen winner or or a hero Sarah and Hero. It Cody: Mm-hmm. Yep. Jacob Elyachar: was either that one one or not two. But the thing Cody: Yep. So now we've got Jacob Elyachar: is this Acrocaine on crew is in a whole different league between all those dog acts. A whole different Cody: Yeah, right. Jacob Elyachar: league. Cody: But we've got Acro Canine crew and we've got Olivia Bifus in the semifinals. Jacob Elyachar: If I I've said this before and I still say this again. Olivia Acro Canine Crew is running around circles around Olivia. If I Cody: Fair enough. Jacob Elyachar: had to prefer one or the other, I would have given it to Acro Canine Crew. Cody: Yeah. Well we we have both of them on our team, so we're excited to have them both in semifinals. But it is interesting to have two dog acts. I just that's unprecedented. the next Jacob Elyachar: This is a history making season. Cody: it it is. It is. I'll I'll give I'll give you that, Jacob. the next grouping is next yeah, next grouping, Daniel Alvarez and Holland and Sienna. I was a little surprised on this one because I thought Holland and Sienna just they were amazing during their performance. and so to get matched up with Daniel Avarez and for Daniel Avarez to go into the top five was a little bit of a surprise for me. Jacob Elyachar: I was very surprised. I was saying wow, wow, multiple times because I thought Holland and Sienna should have. I know that would have been the history breaking golden buzzer right there. Because the thing is, I thought Holland and Sienna definitely were contenders to be one to last act standing. But the thing is, I have to applaud Daniel for putting in the hours that he did. and at how and followed Howie's advice to perfection, I think of all of the judges callback acts that have ha that were on live, I think Daniel's the only success. Cody: Yeah. so during callbacks he said, you know, how he told him, You gotta put in the hours, you gotta be here every day. And he's like, I'm gonna do it. And so he went out to the I'm sure he went out to the clubs and he just did his craft every single night up into the live shows. Yeah. Jacob Elyachar: And yeah, and I gotta say I appreciate his follow through. Cody: Yep. our third grouping, Pink Beard and Cameron Marshall. Again, another one that's kind of a surprising matchup. I didn't think Cameron Marshall's performance was that good. I thought it was a little long and it was a little drawn out. And then I'm I Jacob Elyachar: So like another James in Sienna. Cody: James and Mar Marina Marina. Yes, Jacob Elyachar: Marina, I'm sorry. Cody: Marina. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's he's a little bit better than them. They're they're major duds. His was act Jacob Elyachar: Really? Cody: his stage presence was a little bit better than them. They're neither one of th is great. Like I don't think they're great for the show. Even though Cameron Marshall is on my team. I don't think it was a great performance. I still think he's bet there he is better than James and Marina. Jacob Elyachar: Okay. But do you think Gino is he better than Gino? I don't think so. Cody: No, I think Gino is better. At le Gino's live show performance was better than this live show performance. Yes. Jacob Elyachar: yeah, and I did not pay attention because had a family matter take care of during that time of that performance. Cody: Okay. so Cameron Marshall going through the top five. Again, another one that's a little surprising, but still excited 'cause he's on my team. So we're just rolling through the rolling through the axe here to go into the top five. Yeah. Jacob Elyachar: Absolutely and he's on and he was and I believe he was on one of my acts to watch as well, so I have another one. Cody: Good, good, awesome. so yeah, Karen Marshall going through the top five. Next grouping, Erwan and Guy Kelton Jones. This matchup was unbelievable because both of were really good Tuesday night. Jacob Elyachar: Absolutely the best two of the best axe. I gotta say Guy I gotta say Guy was the one of the axe that Keenan missed the boat on. Cody: Mm-hmm. Jacob Elyachar: Because that would have been an incredible golden buzzer because we Cody: Yes. Jacob Elyachar: could have had we haven't seen a poet on the show like Brandon Lee since Brandon won back in twenty twenty. But the Cody: Yeah. Yep. Jacob Elyachar: thing is what but I'm so proud of Guy because Brandon only did use poetry, did not have any music. But Guy elevated that. If there was I know they're do there was breaking news that BGT is going to ITV is going to BGT the champions. I really want an all-star because Guy deserves that second chance. Yeah. Cody: Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, I could definitely get on board with that. Yep. and so Guy Kilton Jones going through the top five over Erwan. Again, that one was the matchup it's s it's Jacob Elyachar: It was heartbreaking to see Erwan leave. Cody: it's heartbreaking. And just even that matchup was a little surprising. Erwan on my team, hoping he was gonna go through the top five and get some more points for us, but unfortunately he's not gonna be able to, which is man, it's it's so so sex. His performance was so good and he is just He's incredible. And and for that type of act to not be able to be on the show anymore is a little heartbreaking. Jacob Elyachar: Absolutely and we're not l and we have one more danger act left and the thing is Erwan, I gotta say this, should have had a spot number five. Because that was a bit that Erwa I gotta say, Erwan beat both Isaac and Elsie in my in my opinion of the night. Cody: Yeah, yeah, agreed. And so our last grouping was Isaac Atkins and Elsie. I don't think these singers are very good and for them to be in the same grouping and knowing that one of them was going through was a surprise for me. Jacob Elyachar: It was a better taste in my mouth because you could have had put either Holland and Sienna or I you could have had separate them. You could have separated that four. You'd have had Holland and Sienna versus Isaac and Holland Sienna gone through. And then if we had Erwan versus Daniel, that would be it's that still would be toss-up. But the thing is, I still don't get that we have a Isaac is great, but Travis Garland is coming up of the male, and he's one of my favorite male vocalists of the season. And I think Travis runs circles around. But the problem every singer is going to face is Nini. Nene right now has a lot of I'm thinking of Jessica Sanchez of last year and I'm also thinking of Jesse Kinch when he did when Rising Star was on f A B C. PAR already have momentum. You can't stop that. And Travis might be the only singer that could go on par with Nene vocally. Cody: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Na Nene's got the the momentum and it's it's gonna be hard for any of the singers to really compete with her. Maybe Travis can get those dancing with the stars votes, so we'll just have to see next week. Programming note, next week results directly after the episode. Jacob Elyachar: This is gonna be a long night for all of us. Cody: It it will. there's gonna be a little bit of a scheduling change for the pod coming the results for next week. Come you know, for this pod and next week. Comment and I'll talk more about that on our pregame show this weekend. Jacob Elyachar: And now we're all gonna feel what Mass with what our friend Mass Singer Homey feels like when he does BGT. It covers BGT Cody: That that's great. Jacob Elyachar: because BGT though for those of you who are unfamiliar with Brain and Scott Talent, they do the format that we're gonna experience next week, where basically the live acts perform, we'll have live voting, and then hour later the results. Cody: Interesting. I I hope this is not a precedent that they set, but we'll see. Jacob Elyachar: I have not either because I know they lo I know we love I know everyone loves their football, but AGT cannot be the sacrificial land. Cody: That is true. so while we're talking about that programming we'll get to the top five in a moment. We're gonna take a little s sidestep since we're talking about a programming note. so we had a question come in after the episode last night. so regards next week. Do you think that the act superform later on will be at a disadvantage versus act super firm earlier? Jacob Elyachar: I gotta say this. All the acts that performed early already have their stories set. Everyone they already have their fans. For j like, there's a huge boat for Nini. There's a boat building for that Gino has a boat that's being built already. So those are the two that come and now Acro Canon crew, absolutely. Those are the three acts that are in play for the top one top for this two years top three, in my opinion. And I gotta say, the dark horses, I think War Laser's a dark horse. And if Travis suc is successful and same with Daniel Alvarez, we're gonna be looking at dark horses. Cody: Okay. So you think that the you think dark horses are gonna make for for next week's quarterfinal for quarterfinals four, you think the dark horses are gonna be the ones that that rise to the top next week because of the compressed voting time? Jacob Elyachar: The thing is we've seen magic we've had Matt this has been a bad year for magic. We've seen Cody: Mm-hmm. Jacob Elyachar: James James and Marina slump down. Gino is the only one that has risen to the k risen to the occasion. And Young and Strange, I know a lot of people love that, but can they do a time crunch? Because they cannot they have to learn the lessons that James and James and Marina failed to do. Cody: Yeah. So the the length of the episode itself is not going to change. So the episode itself's still two hours. The only difference is now instead of twelve hours to vote, they get how long are they gonna get, Jacob? Like a half hour? Like what's the time or is it just hey, you get to vote during the episode and then whoever performs later, you know, your votes only are gonna be there for what, five minutes? Jacob Elyachar: Now the th I think the thing is right now, ev what I do, what I do before every show is I once the voting opens, I pick my five. I pick my five and I say and I stay with Yes, no matter who what happens or how they Cody: Okay. You already know who you want you already know who you want to vote for before they performed. Okay. Okay? Jacob Elyachar: do. Cody: Okay. Okay. Do you think that acts this is one of the other questions. Do you think acts are gonna kinda since again the time crunch and the voting's right afterwards, do you think that acts are gonna kind of pull out they're gonna pull out all the stops for this or you think they're they would perform the same as if the voting was normal? Jacob Elyachar: Well, I think they have to. They have no other choice. The semifinals start next we start in two weeks. If and already people like Hundred Fingers and Nene and now Lee and now Leigh all have a head start. So that for their final performance. So if you're a seniors, it's easy. Comedians it could be a little bit have a little tougher. But for the extreme acts and for the magic acts, good luck because it's gonna take a while. I think hundred fingers is gonna run s run circles around anyone who tries in the magic category. Cody: Yeah. Okay. Good. Good questions. thanks for sentimenting those, Groot. We appreciate that. so now we've got our top five. Acro Crew, Daniel Alvarez, Cameron Marshall, Guy Kelton Jones, and Isaac Atkins on the top five. And we're gonna announce our top three that are going to the semifinals. And the first act going to the semifinals, Acro Crew, the dogs. Again, you love the dog you love these dogs. Jacob Elyachar: Yeah, these dogs are amazing, probably the best animal acts I have seen as a viewer, because the thing is, all the animal acts I watched are bored me to tears. But when you add an element, something like dancing to it, Cody: Mm-hmm. Jacob Elyachar: something like magic to it, that excites me because you that's something you don't see every day. And I gotta say, a blessed memory, Siegfried and Royd. There's no Siegfried and Royds right now. And I think Acro Canine Crew could be the modern day Siegfried and Royd, but with dogs. Cody: Yes. They've kind of taken Acro Army from many seasons ago and introduced docks, which is yeah what Jacob Elyachar: yeah, absolutely. I an acro army still, I gotta say this, one of the best stern acts and probably one of the best hundred acts of all time. Cody: Yep, yep, agreed. the next act going through to the semifinals, Cameron Marshall, our magician. Jacob Elyachar: That was a surprise. That was Cody: Yes. Jacob Elyachar: a surprise. I was like, wow. That I ha on my note was wow. I'm like, Cody: Wow. Jacob Elyachar: yeah, seriously. The thing is, I think the problem is that Cameron's gonna be facing is a lot of people are gonna be turning on him like Max they turned on Max Major a couple years ago. Cody: Yes. Jacob Elyachar: Because the thing is they have a ten with that they're already starting to call out the trip, all already starting to call out the what happened. Like what they did with Max back in the pan back in the pandemic. Cody: Mm hmm. Yeah. No. Agreed. then our third act going through the top five or sorry, to the semifinals, is Daniel Alvarez, the comedian. Jacob Elyachar: I think practice makes perfect, that was great, but still I'm just in shock that Guy Cutton Joe that's Guy Kelton Jones the first was not selected because probably one of the best poet singers we had. And I gotta say he was very unique in that corner. He carved that a niche and he was like, I felt I was going to synagogue while I was watching this or while everyone else was thinking in church. So I he did a great job and I think it's gonna be live shows are gonna be very are gonna be tough without watching him there. Cody: Yeah. Yeah. No, it you'll definitely be missed because that was definitely a unique act that we don't get to see very often. It's only twice in in twenty one seasons and you know, t twice now in the last six seasons. but I'm hoping we can get another one similar to him down the road. So Jacob Elyachar: Absolutely. Cody: so that's that's our top that's our three going to the top or sorry, the semifinals. Interesting episode. We're gonna get quarterfinals four next week. and so we can kind of pre just look ahead at that. So we're gonna have Akira, the novelty accuracy looking forward to Akira. Jacob Elyachar: No, no, please. I really want Heidi to press the X. Cody: Yeah. Bird and Byron, the vocal duo. Jacob Elyachar: One of the best underrated vocal music groups left in the competition. If Butter and Grit are they better pick up the torch that Butter and Grip dropped because still I can I'm still shocked that they lost. Cody: Yep, agreed. another Cameron, Cameron Logston, the Impressionist. Jacob Elyachar: He's a great impressionist. We haven't had a very good luck with impressionists yet, but like I think Cameron could if Cameron can be a one and done, that'd be great. But the thing is, Heidi does not like comedy. Cody: No. No. fortunately Hide d nothing really no, I think she likes comedy 'cause she liked she liked Taylor Jacob Elyachar: Taylor. She liked Taylor, but the problem Cody: Williamson. You're right. Yep. So she does like comedy. It has to be the right type of comedian though. Caesar yeah, Caesar Diaz, the comedian. Jacob Elyachar: another I didn't like him. I couldn't connect with him. I would buzz him immediately. Cody: Yeah. Jesse Joe and the ninety sixers. I kinda like them. Yeah. Yes. Jacob Elyachar: Yes, I've been waiting for them to come on a long it's been a great year for bands and I really want Jesse Joe in there because like I gotta say they're very underrated and I think with the loss of butter and grit, it's gonna the band spot has them, but I think but the band spot I really want them to have a band spot, but Ca they have to use song choices. I cannot let someone butcher another song like the way Elsie did The House of the Rising Sun. I had to go back and watch Hayley Reinhardt's version of from American Idol twenty Cody: yeah. Jacob Elyachar: eleven to get my to get it back. Cody: You pick one, Jesse Joe, or Burton Byron. Which one do you pick? You have to pick one. Jacob Elyachar: I would have to pick Jesse Joe because Jesse's voice, my god, is like is under is like an unf is like a fine. I love Cody: Yes. Jacob Elyachar: AGT, this era of AGT, because there are fines we haven't seen. Like for example, Chapel Hart was a fine, Drake Milliken was a fine. Cody: Yep. Yep. I'm I'm with you. I like I really like Jesse Joe. another singer, Laura D, to go up against Lei and Nene. Jacob Elyachar: The thing is right now, can this for this singer, I think Nana I think sorry, but after Leg killed your song and not to mention Black Hole Sun, she no she's gonna have a very hard time. Cody: Yeah. Ruben Roldan, the one legged parkour. Jacob Elyachar: Yes, yes, yes. I am so excited to see Ruben. I really think Ruben is if he does plays his cards right and does another thing, I hope it's either Heidi or Sophia can press the golden buzzer for him because I think we haven't had a act like him in ages that has done so well. Cody: Yep. It'll be interesting with the Golden Buzzer because the Golden Buzzer was given to Keenan, but Keenan had Sophia press it. It was really Keenan's choice. So it's it's gotta be Sophia's choice this for quarterfinals four, right? Jacob Elyachar: Yeah, I think so. Otherwise, I kinda wish I wish, in all honesty, I'm sorry, Keenan, but Sophia should have had it. And in Heidi, Cody: Yeah, agreed. Jacob Elyachar: because if if the any guest judge should have a golden buzzer or priority to golden buzzer, it's Heidi Klume. She's the longest female judge that to ever sit on multiple panels. She's done every almost everything except for extreme. So I think Heidi should have had the opportunity to say, okay, Heidi, we're surprised we're going to give you a golden buzzer. Cody: Yep, nope. With you on that. Travis Garland, the singer. You talked about him earlier, yes. Jacob Elyachar: Yes, I gotta say Travis is gonna be he's gonna have a hard time with Howie, but I think all the ladies would really like him. And I think Travis is probably one of the best solo vocalists left in this competition. Cody: Does he do just another straight up cover or do you think he s he tries to do something a little bit more not not an original song, but he tries to do something more on his mu more of his own style? Jacob Elyachar: I think he should do something his own style, but like the thing is don't bl he saw what happened with Elsie. Cody: Mm-hmm. Jacob Elyachar: I think that's gonna should be a warning for any other please don't butcher songs that we have. Travis is an impeccable one. He I s heard his vocals this past summer when Derek he when Derrick Huff came to Kansas City and revealed that was Travis was on the soundtrack that provided. So I think having that and not to mention all the dancing with the stars people do have some power he does have have some powerful friends. Derek Huff has millions of followers. Mark Ballas has millions of followers. Those guys can play a role. I think but the thing is the problem is I don't know if they're gonna be in rehearsals or not Derek may might not be but Mark who's been a huge driving force and friend of Travis's may need to may he and Moore may combine may need to send a video and before the live show with the link in their Instagram stories or TikTok stories. Cody: Yep, that'd be that'd be huge for him. Tyrone and Margo, the knife throwing duo. Jacob Elyachar: They are so underrated as a danger act, I think. The thing but the thing is they cannot separate themselves from Deadly Games. I love Deadly Games, but the thing is they're they're they have to be very careful. It's been 10 years since Deadly Games came on the show and set the standard. I'm nervous that they're gonna go into a dead they're gonna be Deadly Game-esque light if they do another Cody: Mm-hmm. Jacob Elyachar: performance like that. Cody: Yeah, like Royal Lasers is light balance. Yeah. Jacob Elyachar: Yeah, or fighting gravity meets illuminate meets Kenichi. Cody: Yes. Yeah. Unitree, throw the robot act. Jacob Elyachar: This is gonna be hit or miss because right now we're having a lot of big conversations in this country about robotics and AI. So the thing is I liked his thing, but I do I really want to see robots dance? I'd rather see if I want to see robots dance, I'm gonna go to I will pack my bags and go to the Disney parks or to Universal Parks because Cody: Okay. Sir? Yeah. Jacob Elyachar: their animatronics are so well. Cody: Yeah. and then Young and Strange, the magicians, you talked about them earlier as well. Jacob Elyachar: This act I I did not see them, but a lot of fans really love them. They I think right now with they are probably one of Magic's last chances to have another representative in the live show. Cody: Yeah, come in and I really like them. They're very passing zone esque. Like their yeah. Jacob Elyachar: yeah, I could see it. I could see them. Cody: Yeah, their humor and and banter is very like very much like the passing zone. Jacob Elyachar: yeah. Cody: So so that's a l small preview of our acts for next week. Thanks for thanks for that, Jacob. so before we sign off, I wanted to ask you real quick and I probably should have asked you this before we s came on. I think I saw a tweet that you had mentioned you had a conversation with Dolly. Is that correct? Jacob Elyachar: That is correct. The great and blessed memory of Dolly. I Cody: Yeah. Talk talk about that a little bit. I want to hear that story a little bit. Yeah. Jacob Elyachar: Alrighty, so Dolly so Dolly, I at the time Webster public public Public relations at the time that was Dolly's PR depart PR thing emailed me and said, Do you want to be on the phone line? I'm like, absolutely. Little did I know, I thought I was gonna be one on one with Dolly. Surprise, 25 reporters on the line. So I when I heard Dolly's voice, I'm like, my god, I messaged, my god, and they said, We're gonna go order a list, so be be ready. And when my name called was called, I was like, my gosh. So I had to compliment her. And she said it was about blue smoke and also her. Pure and simple as well. So for Blues, it was twice. So Blue Smoke, she said that when she was going on preparing for the tour, because both Willie, her dear friends Willie Nelson and the late Miss Great Kenny Kenny Rogers were also on tour as well. And she was like saying, Well, if our schedules line up, absolutely I would do a show. I would have Kenny and Willie in a heartbeat. And the same one with this one, when she was talking about Pure and Simple, she was going back to talk about her latest tour. It's just going to be four musicians. No magic things. But to hear someone like, but to have Dolly's voice, and I still have it with me, but I'm not going to release it to the public because this is with other people and this is for me. I'm so glad I got to have the opportunity to list interview this American icon. Cody: Yeah, it's a great story, Jake. I'm glad you got to I'm glad you got that opportunity. Yeah.
