0:00.0	Hey, it's Alan and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon music, included with Prime. In the Premier League, everyone pushes their hardest to win, and now it's your turn. With their EPL fantasy challenge, Coca-Cola are giving you a chance to win big by beating the best. All you have to do is build a team based on rules set by an icon.
0:22.2	And to help you on your way, I've got a tip to help you build your team.
0:25.3	Make sure you keep an eye on fixtures. Who are the players up against next?
0:29.1	Sometimes it's not about form. Like there are some players that, for whatever reason,
0:34.1	always play well against certain teams. To do your research.
0:38.7	To get involved in the EPL Fantasy Challenge, all you've got to do is grab a Coke and scan the code on the pack. Just by
0:43.6	playing, you get a chance to win Coke swag or vouchers. But if you beat the icon who set the
0:48.9	rules, you could win vintage Coca-Cola jerseys, Premier League tickets, and more. So go ahead and get involved.
0:55.9	Grab a Coke, drink it in.

1:16.7	together. But there are exceptions. Bands that somehow managed to stay together in the same
1:22.0	form forever, no matter what happens. The radio head that we know today is really the only
1:26.4	radio head that's ever been.
1:28.1	U-2 hasn't had a lineup change since 1978. Zizi Top has been the same since the three guys got
1:33.8	together in 1969. And here's one other to add to the list. Billy Talent, same four guys since
1:41.0	1993. How have they managed that?
1:45.6	Well, if you want the truth, you go to the source.
1:48.9	This is Billy Talent in their own words, part three.
