Starting point is 00:00:00 Now is a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Quervo. What are you doing here? Quervo. Anytime someone says quarevo, I show up. Well, I do know that to be true, but even during and reads, like... Quervo.
Starting point is 00:00:15 I think he could lay out, especially from one of our great partners. Sweet, delicious quervo. Since then, Cuervo is stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion. Quervo. So, enjoy the tequila that started it all. Quervo. Quervo.
Starting point is 00:00:29 A tequila. That invented tequila. Proximo.com. Please drink responsibly. Quervo. Summer's here, and you can now get almost anything you need for your sunny days, delivered with Uber Eats. What do we mean by almost?

Starting point is 00:01:05 This is the Dan Levator show with the Stucats podcast. You know what's funny about what just happened there, Chris, as you expertly navigate some difficult waters as I try to figure out whether I want to fight with more owners? I just heard. This is what I just heard in my head said. Five, in the control room. Five, four, three, oh, two.
Starting point is 00:01:37 And then you're looking at me and you don't have any idea what we're doing. You're like, you point to me. You heard the same thing I heard. I got really nervous too because they also said coming out to Zazlo. What? What do we? What? I didn't know what's happening.
Starting point is 00:01:50 Did I screw up? Football is upon us and everyone around here is a little bit crazy. at least in part because I'm getting criticized from all sides here for not talking enough football because today is football day. So Tony's got a top five list. All right. Okay. I give in. I know I'm going to lose to football.
Starting point is 00:02:10 So go ahead. Have your football fun. Tony's got a top five list. What's the top five list? Also, we've got the helmet is back. You guys are going to be forced now to respect the helmet. John Amici has come through here and there will be. There's contract language now for all of you that has costumes involved.
Starting point is 00:02:25 legitimate contract language because you guys don't respect the audience enough to dress up when you lose at these games. So the helmet is back and things are going to be enforced this year and Dentec is going to make sure they get enforced here with their mouth guards. And I will tell you as someone who had headaches here that these things help when if you're grinding your teeth,
Starting point is 00:02:43 if you're sleeping and you don't even know what you're doing in your sleep. So we'll get to the helmet at some point here. But first the top five list with Tony, what's it about? Dan, this is, oh yeah. My bad, I totally forgot we had music to live. Hey. All right, Dan. Obviously, the Tony's top five starts after week one, because we got to see the actual games to have a Tony's top five. But this is the preseason list of Tony's top five. Teams I'm keeping an eye on this season. Teams I'm going to keep an eye on. Obviously, this is not the good teams. This is not the Patrick Mahomes and Jaylon Hertz and the Philadelphia Eagles. All these great teams out there. This is not that. This is teams that when I'm scrolling through the Red Zone, when I'm scrolling through Sunday ticket, I'm going to keep a little bit more of an eye on them because I like. like what they got going on. So Dominique says the Colts of the team to watch.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Well, wait a minute, though. But Billy and Cody say it's a must win for the Dolphins in week one. And Dominique is saying that everyone's saying that the Colts are one of those teams and the Dolphins aren't, correct? Like, that's what everyone is. There's no one saying that the Dolphins might be one of those teams and the Colts might not be. Greg said that. The voice that sounded like Greg said that. Greg had him at 8 and 9 making the playoffs of Dolphins.
Starting point is 00:03:53 So where are we? Who do we have to watch? You're not going to do all the lie, but four or five. Just fives. Just fivers. And I'm going to start with number five here, and I put them at number five because I know there's fatigue. I know everybody's going to say, Tony. Of course, this team, how do you always come back to this team?
Starting point is 00:04:09 But I like them. And I'm going to keep an eye on him. The Jacksonville Jaguars number five. Not a cat, dude. Do I got a very luck? I don't understand how, look. Dan, I'm making a play on Liam Cohen. I think Liam Cohen just revitalized Baker's career.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Okay, you need to give up. You need to surrender this Cuban prize. This is it. Billy, Billy. I can explain it to you. No, one here likes to admit they're wrong. No, that's what it is. What?
Starting point is 00:04:33 No, but this is embarrassing what you're doing. He's taking the lane. It is, Billy, you would agree that it is hard in the modern age to be at the trough and take a lane no one else is at. Tony, being a Jacksonville guy, is one of the biggest national support voices Jacksonville has had because no one cares about the grainy footage coming out of Jacksonville, which smells bad and is stuck in 1990. praying for Mark Brunel.
Starting point is 00:04:55 You like Jacksonville? I'm going to keep an eye on him this year. It's just this thing. Now he changed. I'm going to keep an eye on them. No, I never liked them. I didn't say I never liked them. Tony, you've been wrong on Jacksonville the whole time.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And Mike's most... Except the time that I wasn't. No, Mike's most hurtful bet in his history is the one time you were right on Jacksonville when they beat Herbert in the playoffs. Thank you. And another topic I want to get to who needs... Your team is bullshit, Tony.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Who needs a great start more. Herbert or Mahomes. We'll get to that later. Tony, your team is bullshit. Okay, Dan. You got that bullshit team? No, I don't have that bullshit team. Liam Cohen, who just revitalized Baker's career over in Tampa.
Starting point is 00:05:29 He's now the head coach over Duvall. Where's the sound of Duvall? Duval. I think this is Trevor Lawrence's last stand. Right here, Dan. If he can't do it with Liam Cohen, it's over. That's what I'm saying. This year is the year.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Travis Hunter, Brian Thomas Jr. They got a good running back, Bayshal Tootin from Virginia Tech. Oh, that guy's like a fire hydrant. He's good. Why did you say that the way that Zaslo says Thai food? That's my gimmick, man. We shall tootin. Typhoo.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Exactly right. I was wrong when I said no one likes to admit they're wrong. I was wrong about that. Mike likes to admit that he was wrong more than anyone. He's told us. That is not true in any way. It is true. He just said it.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I turned over a new leave. Yeah. You admit that you're wrong about that, please. It shows growth. Admit it. That's why we're in this whole pickle. Duval. Again with the pickle.
Starting point is 00:06:19 My movie with ESL pickles. Do we need to change the music? How much? It's $2.99. It's a good deal. Number four, the Atlanta Falcons. Keeping an eye on them, Dan. I want to see what Michael Pennix turns into.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Zach Robinson, their OC, has had to shift some of the ways that they played, obviously earlier in the season last year with Kirk Cousins. They changed things completely. They should shift from playing bad to playing good. That's a good note. That's hopefully what they're going to do with Michael Pennix now. Drake London and them boys, Bejohn Robinson, they got Arthur Smith the hell out of town. So you said all those names.
Starting point is 00:06:52 What is Kyle Pitts? Because out of college, this was a person who was the best wide receiver tight end thing I saw. And if Aaron Hernandez and Grant can be that, why can't this person be that? Does anyone have any assessment on what's happened there? Because he has been a nonproductive football player. And whenever you're talking about the Falcons, you needed to be speaking about him as if he's one of the stars. Yeah, 100%. I think what happened to him is he was a rookie that caught close to if not a thousand yards his first year, but then was saddled with a terrible offensive coordinator and Arthur Smith, a bad QB situation with Desmond Ritter and Marcus Marriota and whoever else they trotted out there that was a corpse. Now they got the corpse
Starting point is 00:07:30 of Kirk Cousins out of the way. Michael Pennix Jr. plays golf with Kyle Pitts. Now we got the golf buddy narrative going on. So I think this is the year. We talk about this being the year for Trevor Lawrence. This is the year for Kyle Fitz. If it doesn't happen this year, Dan, it's over. I want to see you remember again. Dan, I think you stumbled on a great bit. Awful football player comparisons. Because you just compared Cal Pitts to Aaron Hernandez, and you did it so casually. Next time you see a running back that flashes to you in college,
Starting point is 00:07:58 compare them to OJ Simpson, please. The juice. I did it to Aaron Hernandez and Gromk because the tight-in numbers that they put up as a combination that made Belichick look really smart. Who would we do it for wide receivers? Tyreek Hill. But who are we going to compare him to?
Starting point is 00:08:13 Tyreek Hill. Ray Carruth. Number three. I think Mike's in on this, obviously. Tennessee Titans. Cam Ward, number one pick. We want to see what he's got going on. Calvin Ridley, he's had an up and down career.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Now he's number one. Bill Callahan's got that offensive line playing a lot better. Okay, hopefully this year they got additions to that offensive line. Cam Ward, is this the year that we see a number one pick? Wait a minute. Okay, no one's saying that, correct? No one...
Starting point is 00:08:42 He's not saying it either. He's keeping an eye on them. I got both eyes on it. Just an eye. The Titans don't have any primetime games, correct? They don't have any games. No one is going to see the Titans have the stage to themselves. As I say this, is there anyone outside of Tennessee that expects anything from the Tennessee Titans this year?
Starting point is 00:09:02 I think your list is the only one that's going to include that team. No one is saying that. That's why I'm keeping an eye on him. Me and Mike, both keeping an eye on Cam, Warren the Tennessee Titans. Do I have it wrong? I think so. I think the Tennessee Titans can surprise people. You don't get the list.
Starting point is 00:09:15 The list is just people he's keeping. an eye on. He's not saying they're going to for sure be good or they're going to be bad. He's keeping an eye on that. The thing that I'm asking you, okay, and I'd ask it of Mina and Dominique and all of these people who analyze football well. In the history of me covering this sport, I
Starting point is 00:09:30 have very few times been subject to this guy's starting his first game in the pros for a bad team, and I'm going to expect something. Because now the learning curve is such that you go straight from college to play your first game and we expect 10 wins out of you,
Starting point is 00:09:46 on a rookie deal and hurry up about it. No one knows what to expect from Cam Ward, but I'm telling you that all of history suggests that he can't be Jaden Daniels. It can't keep happening like that where someone comes into the league and is immediately that, can it? I mean, Jaden Daniels proved it last year, right?
Starting point is 00:10:03 Like, that's the thing where you look at... That's going to be the norm? Not the norm, but there's precedent now for it. Washington was a terrible team the year before. They had bad coaching. They had bad skill players. Jaden Daniels comes in. Terry McLaren, who's nice,
Starting point is 00:10:15 but they had Diami Brown running around. But Jaden Daniels was averaging 10 yards a game per carry, 10 yards of carry, rather, per game. And he could run the ball as well. You guys are telling me that you expect the Tennessee Titans to have a season that's a winning season? I think they're going to be playing meaningful football games late into the season. Yeah, I do. And you mentioned Jaden Daniels. Bo Nix also came into the league and made an impact, a connective tissue between that.
Starting point is 00:10:40 So that's the new normal now? I think you need to take a look at the guys that had that extra year of college because of the COVID. year they played a lot of football and cam ward has shown you every year he gets better and sneaky uh weapons outside but but can't Tyler lock is it's a weak division but isn't going to run but isn't going to run isn't going to replace your running back because he also provides that as one of the options no that's not his game but tony paulin is a great back he's been proven outside of dallas that he's been very effective but guys it's a different okay uh wherever it is that shedore sanders suffers from doing loop-de-loops because the game is easy for him cameron
Starting point is 00:11:15 Moore's not going to be able to run away from those defensive ends in his first season trying to read defenses. Did you watch him at Washington State? He has plenty of experience performing at a high clip with a bad offensive line. Okay, but Washington State, not the pros. And not with a bad team that's worse than the other pros. Okay, doubt him to make
Starting point is 00:11:31 peril. Tushay, that's why I'm keeping an eye on it. Exactly right. I mean, this guy said that that was the best player he's ever seen at the University of Miami. He did say that. He said it's the best quarterback he's ever seen. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. You're a hater. What number we on. Number two. Who knows? And this one might be a little spicy. The New York Giants, Dan,
Starting point is 00:11:54 have probably the best defensive front in football. And a great wide receiver. And a great wide receiver. And let me tell you what, Jackson Dart. He's probably not going to play until maybe midway through the season. I think the Giants have the nine, the biweek around like week nine or something. You're saying things no one else is saying. Thank you, Dan. That's what I'm trying to do. No one thinks the Giants are going to be any good I didn't say that we're going to be any good. I said that they have the pieces to be interesting, which is why I'm keeping an eye on.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Defensive front. What do you want to do? You're just rummaging around the bottom of the league. But he's saying things no one's saying the same way. Adam McKay says things no one's saying. You're kind of like, well, is everything all right there? Hmm. I don't know if that's a compliment or not.
Starting point is 00:12:32 It's not. Defense. Oh, okay. Thank you, Zez. Judge's decree on that with prejudice? I wouldn't even bother bringing in the courtroom. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Wow. I don't know if that's worse on me or Adam McKay. All right. You've got a defensive front that is best in football. You've got Malik neighbors. You've got a couple of quarterbacks that I think are going to be pretty good. I think Russ is going to be better than people think. So I'm keeping an eye on the Giants that they're going to be a fun team.
Starting point is 00:12:53 They're not going to be a ton of winning football, but they're going to be fun. Don't do that. All right. So what is number one? Number one. By putting the Giants in here, you've bored me. Maybe I can bring you back on this one. The very existence of the Giants.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Is anyone expecting anything from the Giants this year? I'm expecting them to get the hell after the quarterback. Abdel Carter. And play fun football. That's what I'm expecting from them. Number one, the New England Patriots. Mike Brable and them boys. I think we got like a Josh Allen Light in Drake May.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I think he's going to run the football. I think he's going to throw pretty well. Trayvion Henderson might be rookie of the year. We don't know yet. He's run out of a cannon every time he touches the ball. Dan, did you see him return that kick for his first touch? Did you see it, Dan? in the preseason?
Starting point is 00:13:40 The thing about this segment that bothered me, and I'm sorry to do this. The thing about this segment that bothered me is that you tried to make creative, and thank you for trying, the very bottom of the league. I'd like to talk about the top of the league because you're talking about the very worst teams. But you didn't even want to talk about Philly Life segment. He's keeping an eye on them. Exactly right. You want to talk about Aaron Hernandez.

To me for you saying things about my list. Yeah, that seemed like you're apologizing for the existence list. That is what I'm doing. I'm apologizing.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I want to issue a public apology to the audience for a list that when it is. is you took the show from me to talk football, did so with the very bottom of the league to analyze the teams that have the very least expectations. I don't think that that's what we should be talking about today if we're celebrating football. You're only as good as your weakest link, Dan. Mm-hmm. You want to rethink this whole football Friday plan of yours? Yeah. Yeah. I will tell you part of why it is it's wet blanket Thursday around here, okay because you guys for years now have disrespected this bucket not as much as i did earlier when i was calling it this helmet this segment is a bucket segment that is now sponsored by dent
Starting point is 00:19:16 and what it usually results in is us having to wear costumes occasionally some of us and then eventually none of us and chris whittingham still hasn't paid any of this and there are outstanding fines all over the place we haven't been able to get it under control and john amici wrote it to the most recent contracts. Like, it is now punitive, and I can't believe it got to this point. But we're doing the bucket again, and so I am going to give you guys what you want about football, football, all the time, football. We're going to do the games right here.
Starting point is 00:19:47 It's the most entertaining and creative thing that's ever done. Predictions. Predictions on games. No one's doing that. We're the only ones in the podcast space doing that. We are so back, Dan. The bucket is presented by Dentex. Ultimate Fantasy Football Punishment.
Starting point is 00:20:04 Learn more and sign your league up at Dentec.com. I'm very excited. I'm going first. Get over here. Why is John Amici writing contracts for us? What? What? All right. If you don't know, if you're new around here, we rummage. You get two picks in the bucket. If you don't like the first one, you can put it back.
Starting point is 00:20:20 We've simplified it, Dan. Not as many wacky helmets this year. Well, it's just us too doing it. So we're going to be serving all the punishment. I got the Cowboys. That's going back. Oh, you don't want to get the points on that? Plus eight and a half. It's a lot of points. We don't do points.
Starting point is 00:20:34 We don't do points. Yeah, we just, you have to pick a winner. What are we doing here? He was sending the table, guys. We do this whole thing, like when we... I mean, you're going quick. All right. I'm just making sure he thought that, like... No, I know.
Starting point is 00:20:42 We go straight up winners. Yeah, Tony's supposed to start. What's happening right now? Just Rusty, and you're in charge. The Jags. That's who I have. That's very exciting. The Jaguars are at home against the Panthers,
Starting point is 00:20:53 three and a half point favorite. I improved. Now, remember one of my favorite predictive analysis stats. Every time the Carolina Panthers have started the season week one against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They make the Super Bowl. All right, here, first pick. I've got the Cincinnati Bengals, and they're playing the Browns,
Starting point is 00:21:10 five and a half point favorites. I'm taking that. All right. You got to keep that. I'm going to go ahead and go now. All right, let's do this. Happy to be doing this in Bucket. Mouthguard.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Oh, I got Arizona. I'm keeping that. They're at the Saints. I like Arizona this year. I think they're making a playoffs. Let me say something here. Let's put these mouth guards in and give the rest of these picks, the first picks of the season.
Starting point is 00:21:29 then let's give Dentek the proper sponsors here. All right, let's do this. I do mine like Matthew Kachuk, because he's super cool. Very comfortable. Another team I like is what Billy just picked was the bears. Yeah, I'm putting them back. They didn't make my list, though. They're hosting the Vikings.
Starting point is 00:21:43 But you're Bear Down Billy. I am Bear Down Billy, but I don't like the last game of the week, you know. The Bears are plus one and a half. It's a small. They're a small. Yeah, Vikings. I got the Jets, so big improvement for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Zazel is about to go. Chris Cody's about to go. Oh, Revenge games. Well, I'm hungry, though. Verses the Jets. Huh? I'm hungry. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Jess and feels, too. Again with the plane sticks. Well, it tastes so good. Chris Cody. I already went, Dan. I know, but, uh, Zazel, don't choke. Good day for Dentick. I'm going to have two mouthpiece segments.
Starting point is 00:22:15 This one and the one with Mickey. I need a mouth card for one of them. I got a sloth. Oh, you got the smart helmet. Everybody wants the smart helmet. You want to keep that. Now you're going to keep that. So now what you do is, if you're keeping that, you pick another team,
Starting point is 00:22:28 and then you can switch that team that you pick next with anyone you choose if you choose. You can keep that helmet. So pick a team. You got to pick another team if you're keeping the swap. Yeah. It's a good helmet to have then you can take another helmet. And now you have the option. Oh my God. Oh, I thought it was the Saints. Army Navy Air Force? Army Navy Air Force. So now. Oh, thank you for your service. You can pick
Starting point is 00:22:51 to swap with somebody or you can pick Army, Navy, or Air Force. You don't have to swap now. You get to pick up to everything. Post Guard, too. And so what are the Army Navy and Coast Guard games? I'm checking it out. It just says Army Navy on that? So I got the Bills, I got the Bills, the Bills. They're a good team.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Ravens, yeah, tough games. It's very boring on Hard Knocks, but a good team. I'll take the Bills, I'll take them against the Ravens at home. You want me to talk about the boring bills? No. I don't want to talk about the boring bills, but I do want to think that they're good again this year, and they're going to win the division. Sure, but that's not fun. Zaz, you don't need to worry about who you.
Starting point is 00:23:29 you're picking and the thank you for your service home because you're probably going to swap with someone. So they're going to then have to think about it. Maybe I won't. I'm going to see who Army Navy and Air Force are buying. Army's playing K State. That's not good. Navy's playing at home against UAB. Isn't K State over two? U.A.B. That's Trent Delper's team. He sucks. Okay. So maybe Navy at home against them. I got to see. Army just lost the Tarleton State. All right. Well, like I said, that might not be a good team to pick. Who's Air Force playing?
Starting point is 00:23:57 Utah State. Tough game. You break it down, college football expert. Utah. I'm always, I always like to bet on Utah and Utah State. I always like for them to be a little bit better than people think they are. Yeah, I got to go with swap. I'm not a swap.
Starting point is 00:24:14 So who do you want to swap with? Which is the someone you like to make? One of the Jets, I think he said. I think Tony has the biggest favorite, five and a half point favorite. I don't know about that. Mike, what do you got? I got nothing that you got to worry about. What are you got?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Nothing. It's on you for not remembering. Yeah, he's right. not the way to play there. That's not the... I gave analysis. I said I like them making the playoffs. No, but now you're testing his memory and no one explained to him that this
Starting point is 00:24:37 was a game of wits. What? You got... Man, I... He's playing it for the first time. We stole it from him and Joy Taylor. It was a totally stolen idea. I'm glad you're finally a man.
Starting point is 00:24:49 He's still mad about it. You took a shit for me. Yeah, yeah. You enjoyed Taylor complaining you stole our bit. You took it national. And all I do was hate it. I hate this bit. You're not supposed to remember, James? Yeah, you invented making predictions. No, I invented, I had a wheel as that.
Starting point is 00:25:06 That's right, he had a wheel. He had a wheel. It was a wheel of humiliation. Either way, you don't know my team, and it seems to be like you're in a pickle. The wheel of you know, I'm moving on some pickles. I'm not going to make me. The wheel of humiliation was better than the bucket of the, it was better. Yo, Mike, who you got?
Starting point is 00:25:26 Don't make me come over there. I'll come over there Bullshit Billy who you got You just You say I'm swapping with Billy Or are you going to say the team You want to squat with me?

Starting point is 00:25:59 You want to swap for the Broncos? If you had the Broncos, I would swap for you. So take a... A gambling man? I am a gambling, ma'am. So, if I had the Broncos, you could have the Broncos. But if I have another team, you got that team. That's not how this works.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Pick your poison, buddy. I want to know who you got, ma'am. No, you got to pick who you're slapping with. Swaping them and it's supposed to be a good thing. You're not sure we... I'm guessing here. You swive it with a person. You swive it with a person? You swive it with me?

Starting point is 00:29:33 haven't you been to all of them too it sounded like you were speaking aloud my bad totally on me that's 100% on me Stugats but that goes without saying
Starting point is 00:29:46 that it couldn't have well now he said he didn't he didn't say it he can Greg my apology is sincere Greg why Greg? Yeah. Craig.
Starting point is 00:29:56 He apologized. Craig. Sincerely. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Thank you to Dentech. The bucket is back. The punishments will be paid this year. You say we haven't established John Amici is writing the characters, but then you tell me that that black guy that hit Jeremy with a bottle two and a half hours ago,
Starting point is 00:30:19 that that's a character we've established. Just to be sure, I've got all of that right? hit Jeremy in the head with a bottle I haven't heard from Jeremy since have you have you seen Jeremy since no but if you're asking me if that's accurate yes it is I've got good news Jeremy's going to be the one handling all the costumes for the Dentech bucket he's in charge he's in charge Dan okay but wait a minute that's not going to work you guys it's not going to listen to him we're going to hit him with a bottle of the contracts it's in your contracts the punishments have to be paid that that part nobody's fooling around on anymore I I wanted to ask you guys something have any of you seen the trailer for the Sheen documentary? Oh, yeah. I think this one's going to be good. So, you guys were making fun of me because you were saying, oh, Metal Arc finished in
Starting point is 00:31:02 second place for that one. I thought you meant Sheen, the place where you order really cheap stuff. Because I think Hulu did a thing on that. I'm like, why does Dan even know what Sheen is? The Charlie Sheen documentary was offered to us for a price. Second place again.
Starting point is 00:31:18 No. This is what you guys did last time, and that's not what happened. Always the bridesme. Not that there's anything wrong with that. So I want to ask, it's your money, seriously, because the company's ours, it's your money that this bet would have or would not have been made with. And so I ask you this question when I tell you that the Sheen movie could have been ours if we had paid a price, would have closed the bidding, and would have been ours. It's not second place. It was, no, that seems a little steep.
Starting point is 00:31:49 What I ask you is too steep. I'm asking you guys to guess. I'm asking you guys to tell me, on behalf of the company, what do you think would be too much money to pay Charlie Sheen that would have closed the category that this would have been not just a giant week for Metal Arc, but it would have been everything with Pablo Torre and we would have been debuting the Sheen movie.
Starting point is 00:32:09 What's the price that any of you would have been willing to pay on the behalf of this company to have that movie be ours this week? I mean, is there a baseline as to how much this kind of thing usually costs? I'm just asking you, yeah, well, I will tell you, hold on a second.
