Take it easy on those chairs. Corinthian, leather.
- Have you heard the new album?
- No, I haven't heard the new album. I'm sure it's great.
All sorts of songs about skateboarding and getting dumped.
Yeah, I love this one here. (laughs)
Listen, the reason I called you guys in here...
Your name, Sum 41.
The number band thing is out. Okay?
Blink 182, Green Day 75.
These names are not cool. What's in now is "the", okay?

The Vines, The Hives, The White Stripes.
So this isn't new.
The Led Zeppelin's, right?
Are you feeling me?
Guys, check this out.
The Sums.

The Sums!
What's in now is drinking your beer and smoking.
You guys smoke? - No.
Yeah, you do now. You like that?
Smoke them up, Johnny.
What's your name?
- Deryck.
- Not anymore, it isn't. It's Sven. You like it?
It's great - I guess.

- I guess. I guess so.
- Could give it a go. Sums?
