Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast last week that mine. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you
Speaker 1: for clicking and downloading on today's episode with the country
Speaker 1: Boy Trent, one of the most talked about contestants on
Speaker 1: Australian Idol on Channel seven this year. He's actually probably
Speaker 1: one of the most talked about contestants that we've ever seen.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Twenty one years after Guys Sebastian pipped Shannanol to become
Speaker 1: the first Idol the International Star making reality TV sensation,
Speaker 1: It returned to Channel seven this year and if you've
Speaker 1: missed part one of the Grand Finale, you must catch
Speaker 1: up on it, which you can do on seven Plus.
Speaker 1: It was filled with amazing performances which I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: again and again and again, which I've basically been doing today.
Speaker 1: The competition this year was easily the toughest that we've
Speaker 1: seen since series one, and Trent was another shock exit
Speaker 1: from the likely winners that might have taken out this competition.
Speaker 1: He has a fan base like no other, so I'm
Speaker 1: excited to have him here today. We have some juicy
Speaker 1: team and how the show is made and how they
Speaker 1: would drive the contestants bonkers with countless reshoots. Trent will
Speaker 1: explain why he hasn't been having a secret relationship behind
Speaker 1: the scenes and why he is actually still single. We
Speaker 1: will unpack the tension with Kyle Sandulans, and we'll also
Speaker 1: get his side of things when it came to his
Speaker 1: interpretation of the Kermit the Frog references. Plus we will
Speaker 1: discuss who he would like to see win and who
Speaker 1: he thinks is actually going to win in the grand
Speaker 1: finale tonight. There is so much to unpack with Trent
Speaker 1: and he was absolutely way cuter without his hat on.
Speaker 1: I just want to say that. So sit back and
Speaker 1: relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into
Speaker 1: the world of Australian Idol. How are you good, Mite?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited to be talking to you.
Speaker 2: Can you see mehead?
Speaker 1: You're almost unrecognizable.
Speaker 2: Because you unders that the hard a brother.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so strange. What a wild ride this has been.
Speaker 1: Considering that when I started following your story, they were
Speaker 1: like someone from Central Queensland is auditioning for idol and
Speaker 1: then to make it as far as you did, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Oh mate, wild, Like that's I don't even know the
Speaker 2: word too. Yeah, to sum it up honestly, just from yeah,
Speaker 2: just a kid who paid footy and worked and always
Speaker 2: saying but I just I never thought I had had
Speaker 2: what it took me. That's what took me so long
Speaker 2: to do it. But you know, to be on the
Speaker 2: stage the first time, and when I did, as soon
Speaker 2: as I was out there like a freak, but as
Speaker 2: soon as I just started talking, singing, and I was like,
Speaker 2: this is just this is where I want to be.
Speaker 2: And then ever since then, mate, I feel like I've
Speaker 2: just yeah, gotten better each week and people love me.
Speaker 2: So it's Yeah, it's a really special feeling. It's one
Speaker 2: I'll I'll never forget forever.
Speaker 1: How did you work out that you had this voice? Though?
Speaker 1: Like when you sing into the Camels? Did did your
Speaker 1: dad or your parents and they tell you that you
Speaker 1: could sing? Like, how did you know that you had
Speaker 1: a talent good enough to try and take it to
Speaker 1: a show like this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was more.
Speaker 3: I mean everyone sort of knew I could sing, and
Speaker 3: it was just sort of how it's honestly, like how
Speaker 3: all the stars aligned for it, like a lot of
Speaker 3: things happened at the time with me, just with things.
Speaker 2: Like I'd be working and you know, I'd be thinking
Speaker 2: about it or something that pop up. And really what
Speaker 2: happened was the night before I applied, I was just
Speaker 2: in my own head and I was like, you know,
Speaker 2: what would I do if I got told like I
Speaker 2: had a month to live or I was just you know,
Speaker 2: I was working hard. I was just like, there's more
Speaker 2: to me than this. I was like, there's you know,
Speaker 2: I think this. I don't know what it did to
Speaker 2: come out a finger. I just like, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 2: know what it was. And then they asked myself the
Speaker 2: question and I said I'd just love to sing and entertain.
Speaker 2: And I was like, but I just didn't think I'd
Speaker 2: ever have have the boss to do it, mate, So
Speaker 2: I yeah, I'll never forget it. I woke up that
Speaker 2: morning and the audition to Idol came out. I just
Speaker 2: I was brushing teeth or whatever, look in the mirror
Speaker 2: and I just thought, yeah, something just just clacked, and
Speaker 2: we just said that's I could not do it, and
Speaker 2: I didn't. I was hitting confirmed to do it, and
Speaker 2: I'm just freaking out. I'm going, how am I going
Speaker 2: to do this. I couldn't even I'm doing a zoom
Speaker 2: call now and I had to sing to the person
Speaker 2: the first time, and I'm just freaking out and it
Speaker 2: was wild. It was wild, like to go from that,
Speaker 2: how I started to just singing and one of the
Speaker 2: nation in the world now, It's just it's crazy.
Speaker 1: So the decision to have you seen and be placed
Speaker 1: right up against Dylan that must have been really nerve wrecking.
Speaker 1: Was that the most stressful performance? I mean, I know
Speaker 1: the votes had already been kind of tallied by that
Speaker 1: point and the decision to kind of been made, but
Speaker 1: to sort of be both put together like that, that
Speaker 1: must have been the hardest song to sing.
Speaker 2: Me Mindset's pretty I've been pretty strong on the on
Speaker 2: the idol with you know, I don't think of better
Speaker 2: than anyone else. I've met friends and people that I'll
Speaker 2: stay closer to the rest of my life. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I just at that point, I was just like, you know,
Speaker 2: what what's done is done. The decision has been made.
Speaker 2: I gall out here and butcher it and still get through.
Speaker 2: So I was just like I was actually feeling good.
Speaker 2: Dylan's brilliant, you know, you know when I was like
Speaker 2: paired with Dylan. I said, well, but we were backstage
Speaker 2: made it was all last it was all yeah, we
Speaker 2: weren't stressed because I knew that Australia was going to
Speaker 2: be in good hands either way. Mate. So and that's
Speaker 2: what I said Gall out there and he said the
Speaker 2: same thing, and just yeah, it's just the beginning, mate.
Speaker 2: So whatever happens with him further on, you know, he's
Speaker 2: going to be brilliant, and just like everyone else, you know,
Speaker 2: it's just a platform in their careers. Now that I've
Speaker 2: just given us such a lift and advantage on a
Speaker 2: lot of people because I never thought I would have
Speaker 2: had me first gig on Australian Idol, Well that isn't.
Speaker 1: The end of it. I mean, you know, it was
Speaker 1: so funny because Idol when it first started for a
Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, the series was never as
Speaker 1: good as the very first season, but you somehow reminded
Speaker 1: so many people of why Idol can be so popular.
Speaker 1: It was kind of that whole Shannon Noole experience. Like
Speaker 1: you were Shannon Nole two point zero, you'd be too
Speaker 1: young to remember this, but when Shannonole was on that show,
Speaker 1: even though he didn't win their popularity for that bloke
Speaker 1: was catast like. It was just it was in a
Speaker 1: different sphere and I kind of feel like that's the
Speaker 1: same thing for you. And when Idol first started, if
Speaker 1: you look at that first series, we've got a lot
Speaker 1: of personalities, not just singers out of it. You know,
Speaker 1: Buy Sebastian, Shannon Nole, Courtney, act Rob Mills, Paulini, the
Speaker 1: list goes on. And it was because Australia idle is
Speaker 1: not necessarily always about finding the best voice. It's about
Speaker 1: finding someone that Australia can fall in love with. And
Speaker 1: you've done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know to hear that and yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever take it for granted when
Speaker 2: someone says, you know, like along the lines and you said,
Speaker 2: man like, it's just it's crazy to think, you know,
Speaker 2: from not long ago to this it's and I love
Speaker 2: nausea or I followed nausea. I've probably watched his audition
Speaker 2: a million times and yeah, look what he did and yeah,
Speaker 2: it's boring.
Speaker 1: You know, have you reached out to him, have you
Speaker 1: asked him any questions?
Speaker 2: I probably have too many messages made. He probably didn't see.
Speaker 1: Mine, Hey, Shannon, not pretty sure he's waiting for that thought.
Speaker 2: He wmight have swung me a message by an earlier
Speaker 2: old budda, but he didn't.
Speaker 1: Actually have his number. I'll text him after this and
Speaker 1: telling me to stop resting on his laurels, that he
Speaker 1: needs to get good.
Speaker 2: It'd be good to have a chat and yeah, be
Speaker 2: good to jump date Monday hopefully. Well.
Speaker 1: You know what was so funny about even having this
Speaker 1: conversation with you was that after last year's Idol. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of celebrity shows that happened, and a
Speaker 1: lot of my friends do casting for them, and I
Speaker 1: kept saying to people, we've had a season of vityl
Speaker 1: you know, is there any of these contestants that you
Speaker 1: think would be good on one of these reality shows?
Speaker 1: And the answer after last year were no, you know,
Speaker 1: they weren't interested. I had the same conversation this morning
Speaker 1: with someone who casts for these shows, and they were like,
Speaker 1: Trent is going to get picked up by something someone,
Speaker 1: because not only can you sing and you're very good
Speaker 1: at that, but you have a fan base and a
Speaker 1: personality that we aren't finished with. We want more.
Speaker 2: No, thanks, mate, It means a lot. Yeah, that's the plan.
Speaker 2: And I know that I'm pretty hard on myself, but
Speaker 2: I know that I'll really start to wake up and
Speaker 2: you know, look in that mirror and go, you know,
Speaker 2: there's he's in there. There's something, there's something in there.
Speaker 2: And this has given me such a yeah, just like
Speaker 2: a yeah, I don't know, just an adrenaline feeling that
Speaker 2: I just yeah, I wake up of a morning with
Speaker 2: a smile on my face. It Yeah, it's being bigger
Speaker 2: than ever.
Speaker 1: So I just if you're not on Dancing with the
Speaker 1: Stars twenty twenty five, I will give you one hundred
Speaker 1: dollars and I'm going to give you the zoom virtual
Speaker 1: handshake on this my friend. I it's gonna happen. But
Speaker 1: if you get on that show, you owe me a
Speaker 1: hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: Absolutely it would be good man. But yeah, obviously me
Speaker 2: singing is me. I'd I love performing. I didn't. And
Speaker 2: that's the thing. I just threw myself in the deep end.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I was either going to swim with Droum,
Speaker 2: but I think I think I swum.
Speaker 1: So you swam.
Speaker 2: He swam to the like, went around the corner, went
Speaker 2: over the rocks, went under the log.
Speaker 1: You know two contestants from Central Queensland. You know, has
Speaker 1: been pretty awesome to see on this season. Did you
Speaker 1: guys even know each other?
Speaker 2: Like? Na now old Denver and I know we didn't
Speaker 2: funny that because I think I think Denny's a year
Speaker 2: older than me. I think. But no, she's brilliant, like
Speaker 2: hats off tour. You know she's brilliant. You know she
Speaker 2: knows what she's done, she's been in the game, and
Speaker 2: you know her personality is unique to you, like you
Speaker 2: can't miss her. There's only one Denver, There's only one
Speaker 2: denber Well.
Speaker 1: Can I tick her off the list? Because you know,
Speaker 1: Carl Sandaland seems to have put out like a bit
Speaker 1: of a bounty on a secret relationship that is apparently
Speaker 1: happening behind the scenes of idol. And I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: when those rumors came out that you were on everyone's
Speaker 1: bingo card, but no one could find out who you
Speaker 1: must have had this relationship with. So can we just
Speaker 1: remove Denver from the list.
Speaker 2: No, there's no relationship. There's no relationships. I'm not thatcessilly mate.
Speaker 2: The last one did me dirty, and I tell you what,
Speaker 2: I won't be looking for another one for a while, mate.
Speaker 1: So there's no so you had no nothing at all
Speaker 1: because you know, I've got a theory that you have
Speaker 1: hooked up with one of the other contestants. It's my theory.
Speaker 1: It could be wrong, and you decided not to reveal
Speaker 1: that to all of the young women out there in
Speaker 1: Australia who are obsessed with you. Thought maybe that's going
Speaker 1: to affect, you know, them voting for you because they
Speaker 1: want to envision that they can be your wife one day.
Speaker 1: So you've sort of kept it away. So that's not
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 2: No, no, mate, on mom. Yeah, as I said, you know,
Speaker 2: it's good to laugh about. But now this is the
Speaker 2: only time I've ever done something in my life I
Speaker 2: feel like really for me and I don't want to. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, if something comes along, maybe, but I'm just
Speaker 2: really focus at the moment and I don't want to
Speaker 2: take one step back and just no distraction. And yeah,
Speaker 2: but as I said, the one comes along, you know,
Speaker 2: you don't choose your full love with so one pops
Speaker 2: along and I can't help it or so be it.
Speaker 2: But until then, I'm, yeah, mate, just going to really
Speaker 2: try and get some songs out. I've got a heap
Speaker 2: of songs written ready to go. So I can't wait
Speaker 2: to share the world of yeah a bit a bit
Speaker 2: more me.
Speaker 1: So is it true that you're already attached to touring
Speaker 1: with the country music festival? Is that something that people
Speaker 1: can start to look forward to? Are you already attached
Speaker 1: to a music festival coming out?
Speaker 2: Yes? I wouldn't. Yeah, I don't like saying I just
Speaker 2: didn't know, like mate, honestly, like I had people come
Speaker 2: up for gigs and things and that, and I've never
Speaker 2: even sold a gigs. I didn't even know what to charge.
Speaker 2: I didn't you know, I probably shouldn't tell that because
Speaker 2: people probably take advantage of it. But I'm not an idiot.
Speaker 2: I've got me wits about me, and I know people
Speaker 2: say it's you know, but yeah, I'm just like at
Speaker 2: the moment, I was like, look, you know, I just
Speaker 2: got to wait to litle finishes and I just got
Speaker 2: to take us on this first. And then you know,
Speaker 2: I was freaking out because I'm like They're like, oh,
Speaker 2: what do you want mate? This? And that, I'm like,
Speaker 2: what do I do? I'll play the guitar, but I'm
Speaker 2: not I don't know IM good enough? Do I bring
Speaker 2: me on mike'st indor I bring them I didn't know,
Speaker 2: Like I don't even know me do I bring a
Speaker 2: bar stild to sit on his lunch provided or Yeah,
Speaker 2: so a lot to a lot to think about, a
Speaker 2: lot to take him. But I just there. I can't wait, man,
Speaker 2: it was Yeah, I'm really going to try. I don't
Speaker 2: think I'll be going back to the coal mine or
Speaker 2: the camera farm anytime soon, I hope.
Speaker 1: So I'm just picturing the camels have been put to work.
Speaker 1: Now they will be opening your fan maut. That's what
Speaker 1: the camels are doing back there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, those families would be more famous than they
Speaker 2: ever were. Now that's wild, man, it's wild. But I
Speaker 2: just can't wait to Yeah, just really like you know,
Speaker 2: like do it myself in the sense like you carry
Speaker 2: from my first experience of the music to make up
Speaker 2: and everything planned for you. And you've got producers, you've
Speaker 2: got all the TV that make you look good. They
Speaker 2: do this, they do that, and you know you don't realize,
Speaker 2: well I haven't yet, but I know coming from Idol
Speaker 2: now back to no Idol, like, it's not going to
Speaker 2: be it's not going to be easy. I don't expect
Speaker 2: to walk in the park and the hand out I
Speaker 2: know that I'm going to. Yeah, I got to really
Speaker 2: work hard at it and even meet vocals and keep
Speaker 2: keep getting some lessons. You know. That was probably my
Speaker 2: best thing I did is throughout the Shale, I think, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think the judges, yeah, were starting to enjoy it,
Speaker 2: like they liked it. But just you know, just who
Speaker 2: I was up against, you know, yeah, but I wasn't
Speaker 2: the biggest vocal was so it never really bothered me
Speaker 2: because I know that what I had. I believe that
Speaker 2: I had something that a lot of the others didn't,
Speaker 2: and that was just me, you know.
Speaker 1: So you're so humble, Like this is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite things about you, Like something that you got from
Speaker 1: your family, from your dad. I don't know, Like what
Speaker 1: how do you have your head screwed.
Speaker 2: On like this? Mate? When you get to name me,
Speaker 2: you'll think I'm a half with No, It's just I
Speaker 2: don't know, mate. I feel like I've been through I've
Speaker 2: been through a lot of heartbreaking a lot of ways,
Speaker 2: and I've seen a lot of things that and just
Speaker 2: the day and age of the world and everything that
Speaker 2: I hear and what's going on in this and I
Speaker 2: just you know, I stick by everything havings for reason
Speaker 2: in life too short, and I just you know, I
Speaker 2: remember when I was a kid and had a dream
Speaker 2: and now it's sort of done it Like I just
Speaker 2: I can't even describe how like I don't even yeah,
Speaker 2: like just to go from what I did to that
Speaker 2: is just I still it just still blows me mind, mate,
Speaker 2: Like I know me so for five six years or
Speaker 2: would have never I couldn't even see in front of
Speaker 2: my dad like I couldn't. I couldn't just pull look
Speaker 2: at and it just all clicked. But really I was
Speaker 2: just like on that plane, I never forget I nearly
Speaker 2: didn't even get on the plane new best mates, Like mate,
Speaker 2: you got to go, and you got to go. Like
Speaker 2: I was freaking out because I put myself in a
Speaker 2: position where I don't even if I'm going to be
Speaker 2: able to go down there in an audition to open
Speaker 2: the mouth and seeing or forget words or freaking out,
Speaker 2: freaking out. But comes back to Evingham for a reason, mate,
Speaker 2: And yeah, there's the best thing I ever did in
Speaker 2: my life. And it was the most special I've ever felt.
Speaker 1: So there were these huge rumors that you had this
Speaker 1: big fan base, right, so people were starting to say, yesterday,
Speaker 1: do you think that the way that they changed the
Speaker 1: way in which the audience could vote changed or affected
Speaker 1: the way in which you didn't make it to the finale.
Speaker 1: But it's so funny. While I talked to you today
Speaker 1: about this, I realized how ridiculous sometimes some of these theories.
Speaker 2: Are that yeah, people, I get that, and I'm someone
Speaker 2: you know I could cop defeat. And that's the thing.
Speaker 2: It's defeat, but it's not like I won, like within
Speaker 2: myself and everything I know I want. And that's why
Speaker 2: I'm so okay with it all because it's a part
Speaker 2: of the like I knocked out half of the Top twelve,
Speaker 2: which is all brilliant, Like the live show is as massive,
Speaker 2: Like I was going for an audition mate, like I
Speaker 2: didn't think I'd get to the top fifty, Top thirty,
Speaker 2: Top twenty one, top twenty four, top this, Like it's
Speaker 2: just yeah, just nat.
Speaker 1: I think you know, Kyle's comments kept you in the competition,
Speaker 1: so to speak, because I felt like people kept voting
Speaker 1: for you with him being as savage as he was
Speaker 1: sometimes and calling you come with the frog, Like I
Speaker 1: think in some way that indeed you as well. And
Speaker 1: it reminded mate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think when I first I think I first
Speaker 2: heard the word and on stage is tree you know
Speaker 2: when you sing your heart out and you know. But
Speaker 2: then the part of me clicked and it was good.
Speaker 2: I made a comment when he said it, and Ricky's fed.
Speaker 2: I said, oh, yeah, I think I did did a
Speaker 2: good job or right or something, and she goes what
Speaker 2: I said. Well, some people liked it, some people didn't,
Speaker 2: you know, but like that's the way we live in mate,
Speaker 2: Like I can't sit down. I was. I was a
Speaker 2: bit like afterwards. I was like, ah, you know, because
Speaker 2: it's not it's the comment, but it's then that gets
Speaker 2: broadcasted across Australia like it's live television, like and then
Speaker 2: you're worry about people buying into the judges comments and this.
Speaker 2: But and that's the thing I thought, you know what
Speaker 2: I've been told worse mate, and I just thought, I'm
Speaker 2: not going to sulk about it. I'm going to use
Speaker 2: it to my advantage. And yeah, I made a bit
Speaker 2: of a video with me and Kermit and had had
Speaker 2: a bit of a laugh about it, and that was
Speaker 2: the way to go about it. I think it worked
Speaker 2: in my faith was and a lot of people like
Speaker 2: that's a true who was a young lad sense of humor? Like,
Speaker 2: so that was good. I loved it.
Speaker 1: Redetermined the way people are using it to a certain extent, Yeah,
Speaker 1: working it to your advantage.
Speaker 2: And that was funny too, because after he said it,
Speaker 2: he was like, you know, I can't stop here in
Speaker 2: kurrent the frog and everyone was like in the crowd
Speaker 2: went boom, and he's like, hey, nothing wrong with Kermit.
Speaker 2: I don't know why you're doing kerbitt, it's just there.
Speaker 2: It was funny.
Speaker 1: But are you getting along with Carl Sanderlance?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What was what was this? What was the deal behind
Speaker 1: the scenes?
Speaker 2: No, it was good, you know, and I know at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I don't know what happens
Speaker 2: behind closed doors, mate, but I know he's got a
Speaker 2: job to do. And but no, I think, you know,
Speaker 2: beside everything else, you know, I think his heart's in
Speaker 2: the right place, and and he has He's seen a lot,
Speaker 2: you know, he props a bit of shit from people,
Speaker 2: but you know, the means he's pretty successful and he's
Speaker 2: you know, he's doing well. He's seen a lot of
Speaker 2: talent and a lot of shows, so you know, you
Speaker 2: take you take it on board, whether you like to
Speaker 2: admit things or not. I just think listening was my
Speaker 2: biggest thing on the show. I just tried to listen
Speaker 2: as much as I could, and yeah, I think that's important.
Speaker 2: But no, he's he was good mate. We got to
Speaker 2: have that day on the boat with him, which was
Speaker 2: nice and you know, have a chat and you know,
Speaker 2: so I think if you said that me audition, it
Speaker 2: probably would have cut me a bit more when it
Speaker 2: come after me gaining confidence, being stronger, being this in myself.
Speaker 2: I was okay about it, like the in the moment,
Speaker 2: Yeah we got the job because I thought, oh shit,
Speaker 2: here we go, like you just you think you're gone,
Speaker 2: you think you're gone. But and then don't get me wrong, mate,
Speaker 2: And I'm the only bugger on that show that everyone
Speaker 2: got bloody good confidence compared to what I did. You know,
Speaker 2: like I week and week out, you know, Trent your
Speaker 2: vocal or whatever it was, or you're this and this
Speaker 2: and last night he's like, look, I don't know how
Speaker 2: you got here. He's like, I don't know how you
Speaker 2: got here, but you got to here. And then everyone
Speaker 2: gets told their record they're going to get records and
Speaker 2: all this and that I didn't get. Yeah, I was
Speaker 2: just okay, I just grinded it out. May let him
Speaker 2: get a fast pass, or I say I did it
Speaker 2: the old fashioned way.
Speaker 1: So I think it all comes down to this question. Now,
Speaker 1: who do you think is actually going to win tonight?
Speaker 1: Oh God, if you were going to put all your
Speaker 1: money and all your camels on, who's going to take
Speaker 1: this out? Who do you think it's going to be?
Speaker 2: Oh? You know what, Like i'd say if I genuinely thought,
Speaker 2: but maye, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Come on, you know you've got to put something down.
Speaker 1: If I'm honest, I think it could easily be Amy.
Speaker 2: I'm surprise if Amy wins it.
Speaker 1: That is who I think. I think that's who it's
Speaker 1: going to be. I think it could be Dylan.
Speaker 2: Dylan and Dylan and Denver are brilliant, you know, with
Speaker 2: the countriness in Denver and and Dylan himself. You know, mate,
Speaker 2: he's got these things a lot of good luck. They're
Speaker 2: just brilliant. I just think Amy's probably left more of
Speaker 2: a Definitely, I don't know. And it depends you look
Speaker 2: at it like you look at it like that, you say, oh,
