Hey everybody this is this is Blake with Marvel.com and we have some very very

special guests on the show today.

introduce yourselves. Okay I'm John Cooper with Skillet.

I'm Seth Morrison.

Hey, I'm Jen Ledger.

And I'm Gory Cooper.

She's way back there, but she'll mean us talk.

But she's important. we've added two additional

people to the whole band the gang's all here yeah I got a hard hidden question

for you how how fast do you grow your beard? Oh, it's...

I saw a picture you clean shaven recently and now it's like poop.

You know, it grows pretty fast.

Yeah, yeah, I started growing it officially around Thanksgiving last year because

we had about three months without any shows and I was like, I'm just ready to have fun, you know, and then I sort of liking it.

So I was like, I'm not gonna shave it.

The heat of New York right now is just brutal for that.

Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm'm from Memphis so I don't really even notice it. It's so hot and humid

from where I'm from I don't really get bothered by heat so much. So tell us, so I've seen you guys perform a ton and you guys were big when I first

started seeing you but now you guys you're massively huge. Talk about the kind of the rise of the band.

Sure. Let's see.

A lot of people don't know that we started in 96.

This is our 20th year we're celebrating this year. Thank you. Yeah, we don't always tell people that because then that people start doing the math, you know?
