Phone Interview - Know the interviewer ahead of time

I have a phone interview today with two interviewers that and I know who they are ahead of time. When talking about their background can I mention that I saw something on their LinkedIn, or should I pretend not to know? Have only ever done HireVue first rounds, so apologies if this is a dumb question. Thanks!

In my experience most interviewers will appreciate the fact that you went the extra step to look at their background and ask relevant questions about it. Shows you care about the position and the interview.
