  Speaker 2: years ago. We were in a band before the it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: called Cosmic Wolf, okay, and we were dealing with a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: really difficult front man, you know, and we essentially were
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: kind of like screw you. Eventually he was like screw
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: us too. So it all worked out and we started
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a Core and you know, years later, you know, fortunately,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you know, we linked up with Mark, you know, after
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: our last lead singer left, and what a gift has been,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you know, working with this guy.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, just to give you a little description,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Jared's he's wearing this. Is that a mink coat? You
