He was working with like a 15 year old LL Cool J and like Beastie Boys are also like young and exciting and new.

And so I think there's probably an element of that.

Had to play that for you because, you know, you were walking into the studio with it.

I am a fan of Beastie Boys.

It was before my time, but I got appreciation for it.

Actually, the guy that runs our Rockies games, Doug, I don't know if you've ran into him before or not.
