UH in tackling or PBUs, but he had that phenomenal
pick six to put a cherry on top of this game.
Phenomenal work by tanner Wall. But Kiando had his best
game of the season, Kiado was dominant. Kiano's motor was
relentless and endless physicality, violence and combined with pure technique.

this stuff. Yeah, just win, Yeah, just win baby, just win.

Get over the hump.
Speaker 2: Let twenty twenty five be the year that you get
over the hump and get into that upper echelot of
college football where you are destined to be Kenneth Thota
Busto tenor walk and take you there, Kyoto, Kyoto. You
guys held this offense TCU to just one touchdown. What
can you say about the effort?
Speaker 6: I think it was diligence and discipline of the defense
to do such a thing. I think that's our capacity
and that's who we are, and I think we stuck
to that this week. I think that's the key, is
sticking to the and being disciplined to who we are.
And you guys saw it tonight. I mean we did
that and that's the result when we beat.
Speaker 2: Us, when we be us diligence and discipline. Shout out
to count Dona bas Tanner Wall. You've come close to
pick six is before. How gratified was it to finally
get into the end zone.
Speaker 7: It's great. I was in my head. I was like,
don't get tackled, get to the end zone. So we
found a way in so little boost there in the.
Speaker 3: End, little boosty dude zero was tracking him.
Speaker 4: Dude, well he was moving.
Speaker 2: I mean he had he had a he had a
he had an angle on him. He was tracking him.
Phenomenal effort, man. I love like that dude, that young man.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, like.
Speaker 2: You'd want him on your team whatever you're building, whatever
team you're building, you want that dude on the ship
because he gives phenomenal effort after a pick Guys, the
entitlement you know, the top of comp place, you know,
they pick off a pass and then he just got
to stop right like, nah, I'm good. He ran down
Tanner Wall. Now, should he have grabbed him, jumped on him,
you know, you know, clipped his ankle whatever it is, Yeah, probably,
but he pushed him, and he push him right into
the pilots.
Speaker 3: So thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Zach Chapman.
Speaker 2: That was his name, Zach Chapman on the radio broadcasts.
That was the first time you scored Tanner Wall since
two thy seventeen?
Speaker 3: Was that in high school?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's my senior year of high school. Yep, so
graduate from high school twenty eighteen. But my senior season
was twenty seventeen. So it's been a while since I've
been in the end zone with the ball.
Speaker 3: Been a minute, Been a minute, Kyoto.
Speaker 2: How gratifying was it to bounce back after that Texas
Tech loss?
Speaker 6: I think it was phenomenal I think it feels great,
and I think the boys recognized that that. It started
on Monday and we were down and frustrated, but we
got put our head down and go to work. That's
Collane's culture and as we lived that then now the
celebration is is is grand.
Speaker 7: The boys are happy. Far from satisfied.
Speaker 6: We're still humble and hungry, but we're very happy with
the way we responded.
Speaker 2: That is the Kalani culture. Head down and get to work.
Speaker 3: Love it.
Speaker 2: Kiyatu, what was the message from the coaches this week?
Did they say anything in particular?
Speaker 6: I think it just goes back to Klonie's culture. Kialani
was like, we haven't played our best game. We really haven't,
and I think we saw more of that tonight. I
think there's still room for us to improve special teams,
defense and offensive wise. But the message was we need
to be us and we have us have to have
a sense of urgency this week, recognizing that that now
we have one loss on the record, and we did
that tonight once again.
Speaker 2: H just lean into that Kialani culture. Believe baby, achieve,
play your best game. Yet let's continue to play at
that rate. Tanner Wall, you held TCU well below its
passing average.
Speaker 3: What were what was working so well to make that happen?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean we had some good scheme in tonight
as far as like a lot of bracket coverage. We
knew that they love to throw the ball to the
inside in breaking windows, and so we were able to
take that away. And we knew that if we could
get Hoover to you know, pull the ball down off
of his initial read that on the run or you know, scrambling,
he wasn't as accurate as.
Speaker 7: He is just on time roping the ball.
Speaker 8: So I think we executed extremely well doing that, and
I mean, you know, the one thing with that is
to play that we pulled the guy out of the box. So,
you know, a lot of the run looks for them
were you know, they were checking to a lot of
runs when they saw us in a lot of our
two high stuff. But our front seven like they played
extremely well knocking out the run even in our two
high stuff. So yeah, the scheme tonight, I thought we
executed extremely well and and the pass rush was great too.
Speaker 7: We got a lot of a lot of pressure.
Speaker 8: I don't know, I didn't get to see how many
sacks we had total on the game.
Speaker 7: But I thought, I.
Speaker 8: Thought our our pressure tonight was on the quarterback was great.
Speaker 2: If you want an in depth schematic answer about what
was employed, how was employed, how was it it was,
how it was executed defensively, you asked Tanner wall a
question the quarterback of that defense.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, love that.
Speaker 2: Great pontification of by Lobyrius regarding the pigskin Tanner, You've
gone from walk on to you know, a team member,
like a full fledged scholarship player to start them in
team captaincy Uh, did you envision this?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 3: To pass up these opportunities to walk on?
Speaker 7: It was definitely a dream.
Speaker 8: I knew the journey to get there would be filled
with a lot of blood, sweat, tears, a lot of sacrifice.
But just believe that, you know, trusting in my heavenly
father and and you know, trusting in Klane and his program.
I'm grateful to play for for a coach like him
who believes in his players and puts us in positions
to help the team in the best way possible. So
just just grateful for every step in that journey and
to be able to lead with guys like Keanu and
Chase and Jack and Glasger like this is this is
a special brotherhood and it's amazing to you know, think
back of where I was being recruited and actually look
at the whole process and see what's got into that
and where we are now. It just makes me really
grateful to God for this opportunity.
Speaker 2: Given love to the man upstairs as well as Kalate
that leads the way here in the locker room. Kyatu,
you had one of the best bull rushes we've seen,
a walk back quarterback hit.
Speaker 3: What is the key to executing that?
Speaker 7: I think it's just effort.
Speaker 6: You can have coaches teach you one hundred moves and
you can master one move. Ultimately, you just have to
have effort and commitment to do that. And I think
I've I've recognized that I got to have more of that,
and I had that tonight and I plan on magnifying
that and continue it throughout the rest.
Speaker 7: Of the season.
Speaker 2: Get to magnify that, continue that just effort, effort. How
is it to know that you don't have to score
scoreboard watch right that if you guys take care of business,
you guys are the master of your destiny.
Speaker 3: You can make it into the title game.
Speaker 7: It feels great again.
Speaker 6: That says the urgency is so critical, but to have
our destiny in our hands, our agency of where we're
gonna go, it adds that diligence throughout the week and
we're committed.
Speaker 7: This is great.
Speaker 6: We'll enjoy it tonight, Tomorrow, we'll review, make the corrections
we need, and then we're moving on. We're ready and
we're gonna move on and be the best weekend next
week as well.
Speaker 3: There go, that's count of tonaas.
Speaker 2: Did you feel like you had your best game of
the season, Kanu?
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 6: I think I gave more effort this game than I
than I have And I think that started with practice
a little bit more of a wake up call because
I think we have been doing great, but we just
want to be even better, and so it's it's doubling
down on our fundamentals. And I felt I did that
this week as well as the rest of our defense
and our team, and it showed.
Speaker 3: I heard the whispers from Cogrenation.
Speaker 2: I heard people, you know, either medium as coming to
me like, hey, Kiano hasn't been.
Speaker 3: As good as advertised this season.
Speaker 2: He hasn't been as good he hasn't been as impactful,
he hasn't been as uh disruptive.
Speaker 3: I heard it.
Speaker 9: I heard it a lot, and honestly, Kianto just admitted
as much to a degree.
Speaker 2: Effort base, I'll say this much. Let me give him
a little bit of grace here. When you are as
zero tech one tech defensive tackle nos guard from the
early time in your life, when you make that transition,
it is a lonely world. You're getting double teamed every
single play. You rejoice. Whenever you get single coverage, you rejoice.
But by the time you get single coverage, you don't
know when it's coming. Typically you know what I mean,
you don't know what it's coming. So you're giving every
Let's say you get thirty forty snaps a game somewhere
around there, and you get single coverage maybe on five
of them, but you get exhausted throughout the game, run, game,
pass game, and it's hard to give one hundred percent
effort every single time when you're getting like double team
because you end up just kind of like just leveling down,
lowering your scent of gravity and just trying not to get.
Speaker 3: Pushed back rather than push forward. Does that make sense?
Like it is a lone and dreary world.
Speaker 2: Thorns and thistles, you eat the dust in the grass
of that field, that that gridiron.
Speaker 3: Man, It's just like, man, this is a long and
arduous game.
Speaker 2: And so anyway, I'm glad that he got opportunities this
game and gave phenomenal effort and gave his best effort.
We got we got to see the best game. But
I give him grace because it is hard. That is
not like you. You asked me, like, what's the one
position you don't want to ever play in football?
Speaker 9: I'm like, noseguard never, never, never, I would hate that position.
Like I mean, that is you know, that's for the sumo.
Speaker 3: Wrestlers, baby, those guys, not me. Man, No sir, no way,
no how.
Speaker 2: Defensive back all day every day, wide receiver all day
every day. Baby, Tanner, it's been a while since you've
been at home. How much of a boost was it
to be back at LaBelle Edwards Stadium?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean we love playing here.
Speaker 8: Like you give us an eight to fifteen game at home,
like it's gonna be hard hard to come in here
and beat us, you know, So I think that gives
us a lot of confidence. Not as much of like
a superstitious thing or it's just like, hey, like this
is our bread and butter. We're so used to playing
at this time in our stadium, and you know, the
atmosphere tonight was amazing as it always is, and I'm
just grateful, you know that we play for a fan
base that packs out the stadium, you know, every time
we play like that's you look across there's even some
P four programs across the country where you know, they
don't fill the stadium for their games. So it's a
blessing to play in front of all these people. But yeah,
I mean throughout the week, like we're able to stick
to the that schedule that we know, and you know,
we're staying in the hotel that we know, eating the
food that we know.
Speaker 7: So it was it's all used to us and it
was great.
Speaker 2: It's always nice to have the comforts of home. Kiyato,
you mentioned effort. How have the guys, the young bucks
like Tausilia kye Uci tell me Fau developed over the
season also body performed down the stretch.
Speaker 6: Phenomenal phenomen I mean you saw it tonight. Their effort,
their attitude, they're commit regardless of playtime. That's what's been critical.
They haven't had the most playtime this year. But you
look at when they're in how hard they're working. I
love those guys. I love the way that they're working.
We got guys like JT who are superstars. A Nissi
who's always ready, VI who's hopping in there. We got
taos Seely who's working hard, and just their commitment to
this team. It's phenomenal and I look forward to seeing
what else they have down the road.

let's get into it here.
Speaker 3: LJ.
Speaker 2: Martin. Uh, and of course his right hand man, Carson Ryan.
Let's get into it here. Carson, how would you evaluate
the offense you scored on the first seven drive and
you had a career high seventy nine yards.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I definitely know I was our mentality going to
this game is just get back to what we've been
doing all game, and no everyone contributed today in the
past game, the run game, it was we're firing all
the cylinder.
Speaker 7: So it's a good bounce back for us.
Speaker 2: Great bounce back game, huge bounce back game. Loved it,
Carson Ryan. The stash, the hair, the blocking, the catching,
the running, the leaping into the end zone, jumping over
that pylon.
Speaker 3: That's like a dream.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, okay, if you could do one thing,
say when you're playing football right, one thing.
Speaker 3: Okay, there's a number of things.
Speaker 2: That you can do right and I'm not gonna say
like game winning or anything like that, but just an action.
Speaker 3: Is it throwing a long bomb for a touchdown?
Speaker 2: If you can do it under the lights of leavel
I'm talking all you fans, right, Like, if you could
do one thing running for a touchdown, you know, and
then leaping into the end zone right at the pylon,
you know, that's a sexy one, Like doing like almost
like a front flip over. You know, You're you're leaping
over a defender. Pretty sexy. Is it kicking the game
winning field goal or something? Is it kicking a field
goal from like I don't know, maybe sorry, kickers.
Speaker 3: The house six? Okay, I pick six.
Speaker 2: You're you're high stepping, you know, high stepping crowds, crowds
going wide taking back?
Speaker 4: Vic had the six? Give me the Parker Kingston like
punt return?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Parker park Kingston Parker.
Speaker 2: What about like a big sack, like a body slam sack,
like coming off.
Speaker 4: There, you might throw a flag on you.
Speaker 9: Like what are like a like a strip sacks, fumble, recovery,
scooping score.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Carson got one of them leaping over a guy
rumbling stumbling for a for a forty yard game.
Speaker 3: I know, man, these are like those.
Speaker 2: Are dream scenarios, right, those are dream scenarios a person
that that grew up like football, right, just a it's
a glorious think. Shout out to Carson. Did the coaches
challenge you guys to have that type of performance after
losing to Texas Tech gentlemen?
Speaker 10: Mean yeah, they want it Like every week. It's like
we could said next games wast porn game. So you know,
no matter who we're playing, we're going out just to dominate.
You know. They says that especially for this game, like
just go on physically dominate or man every play, Like
we don't want to go in next week and watch
the film and see uskin dominate every player.
Speaker 3: We want to be dominating every play.
Speaker 2: Get out and dominate. Next game up, next game is
the most important one for both of you guys. What
was the attitude of bear Bachmeyer this week?
Speaker 7: You? I feel like he didn't do nothing different.
Speaker 11: You know, he just came back and he was doing
what he was doing the first three weeks. I feel
like just as the collective kind of changed for you know,
going into that game last week, because it was a
big game for us, but you know, just we just
had to take a step back and realize every game
is a big game for us, and you know, just
took it like what we're doing the first eight weeks
and we able to get.
Speaker 4: It done to night.
Speaker 3: Loved what I saw from both these guys. LJ.
Speaker 2: Has it been a while since you have had a
twenty plus twenty plus career?
Speaker 3: I had a twenty plus career. I don't know what
this means.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're back or twenty plus touch game?
Maybe twenty plus touches do you feel like you're back
to being that workhorse.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean I always want to have twenty plus carries.
You know, it's fun when I touched the ball, so yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Like fun when he gets to get after it a
little bit. Look, I love seeing I think that's what
we talked about the pregames, like, look at him, twenty
plus touch touches, whether through totes or through receptions, and
they got him the ball. Speaking of carries, you're eighty
eight yards away from a thousand yards? What would that
mean to you to get eclipse one thousand yards?
Speaker 11: I mean it would mean a lot, but I just
more want to do it for the guys on front.
I mean they've been hoarding their butts off opened up holes,
so just be able to get a thousand just though.
Speaker 7: Put that just to show.
Speaker 11: Like you know them as a unit as well, and
they've been open up holes dominating, So it mean a
lot for both of us.
Speaker 2: I would say, Look, like I've said before, if Byu
Okay has a one thousand yard receiver and a one
thousand yard rusher, it's more than just the the like
the individual stat What that means is that you have
individuals that can win in space, in the throw game,
in the receiving game, and you have individuals between and
off tackle that can create explosive plays for you. That's
how you get to a Big twelve championship game.
Speaker 3: That's how you get to a college football playoff game.
Speaker 2: You have individually and like I would say, the other
one of those is, like you know, accumulative three thousand
yards of productivity from your quarterback, and that's through the
past game and run game. You got a three thousand
yard producer at quarterback through running and passing, and you
have a thousand yard receiver and a thousand yard rusher. Bro,
you're a Big twelve championship contender and you could be
invited to the big dance of the college football playoff.
Let's go Cinderella. Cinderelli, Cinderelli, cougarrelly. I don't know what
I'm going with this. I don't know, man. Just just
get me there, get me there. You guys can do it.
We're right there knocking on the door. Can you get
over the hump? Do you feel like you guys were
distracted or disrespected after the Texas Tech game?
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you needed to atone for that.
Speaker 10: I mean, we don't really everyone gets a little pissed by,
but like we try to not focus on it on
the outside noise, like we got we can control our
own dest at this point. We just keep winning like
nothing's gonna change. Our position that we are in right
now isn't any different part it was a week ago.
So if we just keep winning like we've been doing,
we're gonna be just fine.
Speaker 3: Keep on doing it, keep on rolling.
Speaker 2: LJ, you looked like a different back on Saturday than
you did against Texas Tech. How much healthier did you
feel going into TCU.
Speaker 7: I don't think it was health I think it was
just more confident.
Speaker 11: I feel like last week, you know, just coming off
the injury, I just felt like a little bit nervous,
a little bit more nervous, and you know, they were
also a good.
Speaker 7: Team, so that didn't help at hell.
Speaker 11: So yeah, I mean this tonight, I just had more
confidence and I was just able to get going earlier
and I felt really good.
Speaker 4: Man Like.
Speaker 2: Look, we discussed this right Klane mentioned health, LJ said confidence.
Speaker 3: You know. The rhetor leading up.
Speaker 2: To the Texas Tech game and Lj's availability was not
if he would play but like would we see the
form and the fashion and the true LJ.
Speaker 3: And I said, look, I don't know if he's willing
and ready and.
Speaker 2: Capable to lower the shoulder, lower the boom, run with aggression,
run with violence, run with tenacity. And I was right,
And that is a health thing. But it's more so
like both of them are right. L J's right because.
Speaker 3: Like he's.
Speaker 2: In orthopedics, in sports medicine, we talk about the intelligent gaits.
So if you have pain right in the lower extremities,
right hip, knee, foot, ankle, you tend to have that
like little hitch in your giddy up. Right, it's kind
of like you're not you're not like fully like moving fluidly.
And there was a bit of a hitch, but most
but it's in the upper body. Right, So he doesn't
want any sort of impact getting anywhere.
Speaker 3: Near that shoulder. Why because it's still pain there.
Speaker 2: But it's still pain even though he most likely can't
make it any worse. Does that make sense. He's not
gonna make it any worse. He just doesn't want to
lower the hit stick, right, And he so that's why
we got ten tones at Tech and we were playing
from behind so he looked different and he and he
ran with confidence. So I think both are right, Ronnie.
I know we were kind of debating that, but I
think both are right. It just depends on your perspective.
Speaker 4: No, I think definitely it does. Both do matter.
Speaker 5: Both of them are right, Like, yeah, you gotta be
a little bit healthier, because if you're not healthier, like
you pointed out, that won't make you confident. Like right,
you know how it is playing hurt Like I don't know.
But when you feel healthier, you're more confident. And look,
let's keep it real. When you're going up against the
best defense in the Big twelve, a top five national
championship contending team, you're like, this is the.
Speaker 4: Game I gotta come back on. You would like to
have a game under your belt.
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt, Ryan Carson. Ryan, you're a multi
faceted tight end. You're an inline guy. You can go
out and flex, You'll be in lie sometimes, etc. It
seems like you reflexed out on a lot more on Saturday.
Cauld You're explain the game plan to get you open,
to utilize you more.
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, we just we saw going into this game
we could have more opporunities to do that and give
me involve in the past game and just being able
to not have to give me people in the box
for pass protection, so just gives me more chances to
go and cash the ball and me plays. So it's
always good to have that be the game plan. So
it's excited all a games. So going into I know
how to chance to get a couple of cash, makes
some plays, opportunity game just the best I could.
Speaker 2: Great stuff. Loved what I saw from Carson Ryan. What's
the next goal for you guys that you prepare for Cincinnati?
What do you guys need to improve upon?
Speaker 11: I think it's just not letting this win, you know,
not getting too hot for it, just knowing it was
a good win and just prepare for Cincinnati and nothing changes.
Like we got to prepare just like we did last
week this week and then yeah we'll be all right.
Speaker 2: Love that great commentary from LJ. Martin, Carson Ryan. They
do good work, no doubt about it. Any other thoughts
any of their commentary. Ronald the three man Weaver.
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, I mentioned it before and the fans don't know.
Just for those tuning in live that are driving b
what you can't clinch an opportunity to go to the
big totalle game this weekend. So what have to happen
for me and you to clinch is they have to
have a win over Cincinnati and a loss by Arizona
State and Houston, or with the win over Cincinnati and
Arizona State loses and a Utah win.
Speaker 4: So a couple of things have to happen. But the
reason why Carson.
Speaker 5: Said it when we played the sound clip earlier, you
just keep winning and then you take care of your
one eleven. Do that, you'll be in bau wins out
there in the title game. Yes, there's these bunch of scenarios,
but the biggest thing beIN that we mentioned is just win.
Speaker 2: Just win, baby, just win. That segment was brought to

to listen to Josh Hoover what he had to say
about his performance. Devin Deal as well. The defensive lineman
Val Hale was interesting. Valhill, former BUO Athletic director. He
posted this about the Johnny Harlen face melting the guitar solo.
He said, last night at the b A game, he
played the national anthem Johnny Harlen did on his lecture
car it was by far the most unique national anthem
I have seen in fifty five years of attending BOA
athletic events. I quite enjoyed it, and as did most
in attendance. I turned to Brandon his son, who are
sitting next to and said, if we had allowed that
when I was eighty, this was bad in you know,
late nineties, early two thousands, twenty five years ago. I
would have received twenty letters complaining about the inappropriate playing
of the national anthem. All of them would have been
c seed to the president of the church and the
president of the university. Times have definitely changed.
Speaker 9: Change is good, Change is good, and this.
Speaker 2: Particular tase change is really good. Shout out to Johnny
Love and appreciate Johnny Harlee. All right, let's listen to
Josh Hoover Devin Neil post game TCU after they took
an l to the Bay Cougars.
Speaker 12: Questions for quarterback Josh Hoover and defensive been Devin deal, if.
Speaker 13: You guys played a really high level on defense all
of year, probably said this was a Was this performance.
Speaker 8: Surprise you guys?
Speaker 13: I mean we obviously expected to perform better and give
them credit to execute really well, play physical. They didn't
get jump at IDM, But yeah, that wasn't my best
stuff shirt that I guess it surprising. I don't like
using that word. You know, we're prepared, We just weren't.
It was on our best dead Josh know the slow
starting for the offense. Why do you think the offense
is performed so differently in the road and here to
what you guys do for the work.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 14: I think that's something I guess I'll have to take
a look at. You know, I don't have a really
answer for your off the top of my head, but
I take a look at it and figure that out
for sure.
Speaker 15: Was the offensive line getting up maybe better push than
I don't know expected. Uh, how did you guys combat
maybe the run game early on to to try to
stain me in the second half.
Speaker 7: Uh, they did some similar things there is in the state.
Speaker 13: Attacking the boundary and uh, just testing our fits some
of the games that we run, Uh regularly, we just
gotta strike better, uh better leverage. But like I said,
I'll give them crandit aid, well they played and then
we we just still play a high level. So they're
a good team. And when you don't play well against
good teams, best of happens. And I think it was
a moment that showing you in the air camp Minalton,
this conversation. Was it just an example of frustration building up?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 14: You know, I I mean stuff happens on sideline. You
know everybody's frustrated. You know you're not playing a high
level ones. I think, you know, just part of it
and you know, there's nothing, no bad love between us.
I means, just two competitors wet at it and wanted
to win.
Speaker 7: And you know sometimes things like that happened sidelines, and uh,
you know, everything's all good.
Speaker 15: Obviously you didn't play up to your standard, But what
was the atmosphere, Like, how did you feel like your
preparation beating up into this game, and and what they
showcased on the on the defensive side of the balls straumatically?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, obviously start with the atmosphere. I've never
been here, a great atmosphere. How to get props to
by you.
Speaker 16: And their fans and on their team and just the
culture I guess here. I mean, it's it's cool, So
props to them. They're a great team. On defense, they
didn't have had a great plan.
Speaker 14: You know, they tried to take away the things we
did best, and they did that and put us in
a hole and it's hard to overcome. So just you know,
made some plays early, but just didn't make enough plays.
The guest a chance to end, you know, and that's frustrating.
And you know, I felt like our preparation. You feel
like I had a great week of preparation, felt like
I knew what they were gonna do, but you know,
they had a good plan and they mix it up
on us, and they played really solid and they're good
front good linebackers. Their dv's played well and we didn't.
So just like Dev said, when you match those two, it's.
Speaker 7: A better result.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, that's our show. We're sticking all right,
that's our segment. Sorry, that's our segment, and we're sticking
