Just A Sweet Butt

In this week's episode, Jake, Sammie, and the Don go full throttle on biker culture - from the meaning of "sweet butt" to the wild world of fish grips. We talk about the chaos of forgetting meds (happy pills), Jake's OCD tendencies, and somehow land the plane with a heartfelt reading of In Flanders Fields in honor of Memorial Day.

It's bikes, banter, and a dose of respect for those who gave all.

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.540
I could have fixed that. I should have fixed

00:00:01.540 --> 00:00:04.419
it 15 years ago, motherfucker. Kind of sex, segways.

00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:07.980
It's sexways in there? It's sexways right in

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:10.820
there. Sex waxes itself in there. Annabelle went

00:00:10.820 --> 00:00:12.519
missing. They took her out of the case and lost

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:14.640
her. Oh, I'm fully aware. That's part of the

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:16.320
fucking podcast that I'm going to talk about

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.280
today. Now go away. I'm Jake Jacobs. This is

00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.420
Sammy. This is the Don. And you're listening

00:00:23.420 --> 00:00:34.240
to What the Fuck? Welcome to What the Fuck, the

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:36.960
podcast where we say all the things you're thinking,

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:39.820
but probably shouldn't. So this week while I

00:00:39.820 --> 00:00:41.939
was down here, it was apparently Black Biker

00:00:41.939 --> 00:00:45.350
Week, which... I didn't realize, but I knew it

00:00:45.350 --> 00:00:48.149
was a biker week, but I was like, I see no Caucasians

00:00:48.149 --> 00:00:50.649
on bikes anywhere. One of my friends, he's a

00:00:50.649 --> 00:00:52.490
biker and he was down here with a bunch of his

00:00:52.490 --> 00:00:54.310
buddies. He was like, hey, he's like, why don't

00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:56.289
you roll through, come over, hang out, whatever.

00:00:56.509 --> 00:00:58.490
So I get there and he's like, oh yeah, he's like,

00:00:58.530 --> 00:00:59.950
let me, let me introduce you to some of my brothers,

00:01:00.049 --> 00:01:02.070
whatever. And I'm like, okay. I literally called

00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.030
my best friend like later that night. I don't

00:01:04.030 --> 00:01:06.670
understand what I just experienced. Please help

00:01:06.670 --> 00:01:08.469
me understand this. And still to this day, I

00:01:08.469 --> 00:01:10.810
don't understand. So I met at least six different

00:01:10.810 --> 00:01:13.010
dudes. The friend that I hung out with, like,

00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:15.569
I'm a hugger. So, like, we hugged it out. I've

00:01:15.569 --> 00:01:17.510
met you once. Now we hug. Now we're good. Every

00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:20.129
other guy that he introduced me to went to go

00:01:20.129 --> 00:01:23.510
shake hands with them. And every single one of

00:01:23.510 --> 00:01:26.250
them did one of the, like, little dead fish hands.

00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:31.090
Like, meh. And I was like. Really? What am I

00:01:31.090 --> 00:01:33.909
experiencing? And I was like, the first time

00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:35.569
it happened, I was like, oh, maybe, whatever.

00:01:35.790 --> 00:01:39.090
No, every single dude that I met just gave me

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:44.359
a meh. Yeah, that's not good. And I was like,

00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:49.120
why is everyone that I have met and shook hands

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.760
with literally giving me. They give you the fish

00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.079
grip. They give me the fish grip. And I was like,

00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:56.700
and I'm talking to my best friend about it. And

00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:59.620
I'm like, bro, what? Why? He's like, he's like,

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.120
man, he's like, you should slap it up. Dap it

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.430
up. Maybe somebody out there in what the fuck

00:02:06.430 --> 00:02:08.590
land can tell us what that's all about. I don't

00:02:08.590 --> 00:02:10.430
know. I was like, are you scared you're going

00:02:10.430 --> 00:02:13.870
to hurt my hand? No, bitch, I'll grip it. Grip

00:02:13.870 --> 00:02:15.949
it and rip it, man. Grip it and rip it for real.

00:02:16.090 --> 00:02:17.969
And I was like, don't be afraid just because

00:02:17.969 --> 00:02:20.849
I'm a tiny little white girl. Grip my hand and

00:02:20.849 --> 00:02:23.310
shake it like a damn man. I don't know. I'm not

00:02:23.310 --> 00:02:25.870
fragile. That's weird. I mean, you would think

00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:27.050
a biker. Yeah, it's just weird that all of them.

00:02:27.150 --> 00:02:29.669
And I was like. I mean. Listen, unless you've

00:02:29.669 --> 00:02:32.189
got a fucking cast on your hand, I'm gripping

00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:35.080
it and ripping it. Shake it, bitch. Unless you've

00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:37.120
had your shit operated on like I do. Right. I

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.960
mean, that's different, but none of them had.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.800
Yeah. No, we're not doing that. But it was just,

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.560
it was a very odd situation to have been in.

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:47.460
And I was like, the first time it happened, I

00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:49.620
was like, oh, okay, well, maybe he's just, whatever.

00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.280
But then they all did it. And I was like, why

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.680
is this happening? Don't be afraid of me. Shake

00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.020
my fucking hand. I will say this. And it has,

00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.919
it is more towards the biker culture. I mean,

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.759
unless their grip strength was just shit from

00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.680
riding all day. It kind of goes more to the biker

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.500
culture. And it's very, the one thing that we

00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.460
hold on high as bikers is our old ladies, right?

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.060
That's the one, we call them that. And that's

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:21.560
one of the highest forms of endearment from a

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.680
biker. The highest honor for anyone. It really

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.379
kind of is. And so with somebody else's, with

00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:31.919
another female or someone else's old lady. Unless

00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.560
we are, unless we're in the same club, same,

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.180
you know, which is family, then we hug it out.

00:03:38.259 --> 00:03:42.219
But a new, you know, someone, another, the men,

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.280
we have a tendency. Now, I will grip it, you

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.919
know, grab it and growl. But most guys, it's

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.240
more of a biker culture. Just give you a nice

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.060
little shake. We move along. And, hey, great

00:03:53.060 --> 00:03:55.180
to meet you. Boop. Do you, boo -boo. Move along.

00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:59.319
But who knows? Maybe those guys were just being

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:00.620
gentlemen and they didn't want to. It was just

00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:04.340
a very jarring experience to have all of them.

00:04:04.460 --> 00:04:07.020
I was like, what? Listen, I'm taking care of

00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:10.719
my brother bikers, man. I think we talked about

00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.319
this last week. They were all very nice. Or maybe

00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.680
we didn't. Cool dudes. Behind that gruff exterior,

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.300
there's a big heart inside that chest. Sammy,

00:04:20.579 --> 00:04:22.459
were you taken aback when Don said, you know,

00:04:22.459 --> 00:04:24.579
that we call them old ladies? No, I've heard

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:27.279
that terminology before. Yeah. Do you know what

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.079
the other term is? If you're not an old lady,

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.180
if you're just a chick that hangs around the

00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:36.279
bikers, you know what we call them? I know I've

00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:37.839
heard it before, but I can't for the life of

00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:41.019
me remember right now. Sweet butt. Nice. If you're

00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:43.639
just a sweet butt, then that means you're fair

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.079
game to anyone. But if you're an old lady, that's

00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.810
fucking hands off. Never touch a man's motorcycle

00:04:48.810 --> 00:04:52.389
or his old lady. Trust you with my wife, but

00:04:52.389 --> 00:04:55.029
not my motorcycle or my wife. Yeah. That's too

00:04:55.029 --> 00:04:57.610
funny. I left this motherfucking house yesterday.

00:04:58.149 --> 00:05:01.930
In the morning, I take my one blood pressure

00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:04.970
pill, I take my one diabetes pill, and I take

00:05:04.970 --> 00:05:08.069
my one stimulant, my one crazy pill, my Adderall.

00:05:08.170 --> 00:05:10.870
I love Adderall, by the way. We love Adderall.

00:05:10.870 --> 00:05:13.850
And now I love it more and more because I used

00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:16.399
to be. For those of you out there who know me,

00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:19.360
I am fucking anti -pharmaceutical because I don't

00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.019
like the system. I think they're in bed with

00:05:21.019 --> 00:05:22.620
each other with the doctors and the insurance

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:23.879
companies and all this shit and they're fucking

00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.199
Robin is blind. And they don't want to cure.

00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:28.819
They want patience. And so they band -aid this

00:05:28.819 --> 00:05:31.779
shit and feed us pills. However. Done. Stop fucking

00:05:31.779 --> 00:05:33.139
sugarcoating it. Tell us how you really feel.

00:05:34.300 --> 00:05:37.300
Jake, hear me out on this. However, folks, if

00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:40.480
you've ever felt that overwhelmingness where

00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.319
your heart just grabs you and you get pissed

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.579
off the world, you want to punch a hole in some

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:48.620
drywall, you want to kick a puppy, any of that

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:51.980
type of shit, I don't kick puppies. But there

00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:55.000
are some out there who do. I literally, so I

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.620
forgot to take my fucking Adderall yesterday.

00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:01.959
And I was about halfway to Daytona. And I text

00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.220
Melissa. I said, hey. I forgot to take all my

00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:06.579
pills. I fucking left everything. I just woke.

00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.300
I didn't sleep while I woke up. She said, you

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.779
want me to bring your meds out to you? I was

00:06:09.779 --> 00:06:12.660
like, fuck it. It's a short day today. We close

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:16.060
at 4, and I'm out the door. As long as I'm busy,

00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.399
not thinking about that shit, everything's cool.

00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.759
I had this customer that came in. We're rocking

00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.360
and rolling. He's buying a motorcycle. Happy

00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.639
time for me. Get him the bike he wants. Go through

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.439
some things. The standard procedure, I'm pretty

00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.389
quick at getting these things closed up. Get

00:06:32.389 --> 00:06:35.009
him in the F &I in the box. He's a little upside

00:06:35.009 --> 00:06:37.110
down on a trade. Got to have a little money down.

00:06:37.329 --> 00:06:39.970
Got to talk to the wife. I understand that. It

00:06:39.970 --> 00:06:42.029
wasn't a huge amount of money, but to him, maybe

00:06:42.029 --> 00:06:44.589
it was pretty significant. The deal fell through.

00:06:44.709 --> 00:06:47.639
Not that it won't happen. next week or week after

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.319
next. But right now, it fell through. And luckily,

00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.579
that was about 3 o 'clock. We closed at 4. From

00:06:54.579 --> 00:06:56.699
that point on, I just started getting more and

00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:59.540
more and more pissed off that that deal fell

00:06:59.540 --> 00:07:01.100
through. And that's part of sales, right? That

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:03.040
just is what it is. It had nothing to do with

00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.040
him. It had nothing to do with nothing except

00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.779
what was going on inside my ADHD mind. Almost

00:07:09.779 --> 00:07:11.360
uncontrollable. As hard as I try. I know that,

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:12.779
you know, I take four seconds. You hyperfixate.

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:15.240
Yeah, hyperfixate on this stuff. And it just

00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.240
got more and more aggravating. And by the time

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.620
I left there, it was pretty clear that I was

00:07:20.620 --> 00:07:24.360
not happy with life. And I left. I left the shop.

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.959
Went home. Walked in the house. Pissed fucking

00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.120
off. I walked right in the door. I didn't say

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.980
shit to Melissa. I didn't say shit to them fucking

00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:35.240
dogs. Nothing. Right to the back. Took my meds.

00:07:36.269 --> 00:07:38.350
I guess I came upstairs just so I wasn't around

00:07:38.350 --> 00:07:41.629
anybody. And it literally, fucking 10 minutes.

00:07:41.850 --> 00:07:44.910
Dude, I was like, I'm still dying again. Everything's

00:07:44.910 --> 00:07:47.250
good. 10 fucking minutes. I was going to ask,

00:07:47.310 --> 00:07:49.029
are those meds, when you have a situation like

00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:52.410
that, are they fast acting? Yes. 10 fucking minutes.

00:07:52.670 --> 00:07:56.509
And I remember this, Sam. I remember the day

00:07:56.509 --> 00:07:59.430
I got home after the doc, after I went and picked

00:07:59.430 --> 00:08:01.829
it up, I got it prescribed, went and picked it

00:08:01.829 --> 00:08:03.649
up. And I was worried that I was going to go

00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:06.069
the rest of my fucking life as just a raging

00:08:06.069 --> 00:08:10.589
nutbag, an idiot, right? Uncontrollable anger,

00:08:10.829 --> 00:08:14.490
shit like that. And listen, folks, I didn't walk

00:08:14.490 --> 00:08:15.990
around pissed off all the time. I was not that

00:08:15.990 --> 00:08:19.910
guy. But when it happened, I was just a wackadoodle,

00:08:19.910 --> 00:08:22.949
man. And everything. And it didn't matter how

00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:25.350
it started. None of that mattered. And I remember

00:08:25.350 --> 00:08:28.329
getting home from Walgreens. I got this bottle

00:08:28.329 --> 00:08:30.529
of these fucking green pills. And I took that

00:08:30.529 --> 00:08:32.669
little green pill. And five or ten minutes later,

00:08:32.830 --> 00:08:35.990
I was like, huh, look at this. This is what life

00:08:35.990 --> 00:08:40.590
looks like. So I, as an anti -pharmaceutical

00:08:40.590 --> 00:08:45.700
person, except for, I like Adderall. Take your

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.019
pills, folks. Don't forget them, like me. But

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:51.139
yeah, man, that was a wild kind of a scientific

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:54.799
project yesterday. Adderall's great. And listen,

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:57.639
nothing came of it, okay? But it was very clear

00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.860
that I was not my regular self. Yeah. Or not

00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:02.940
the person that I want to be. Ten minutes later,

00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.820
I'm downstairs making fucking keto pancakes,

00:09:06.100 --> 00:09:13.139
baby. Woo -hoo! I'm the only one of the three

00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:16.860
that is not ADHD. However, I don't want anyone

00:09:16.860 --> 00:09:19.360
to feel left out, including myself. If you were

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.379
to see the process that I go through to edit

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:26.159
audio, you would say that I am OCD. And I probably

00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.580
am. Now, I don't edit out every single breath,

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:31.000
every single, in Samantha's case, she says the

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.019
word like, like a lot. I don't edit out every

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:35.980
single one of those because if I did, it would

00:09:35.980 --> 00:09:39.070
sound robotic. I don't edit out every time Don

00:09:39.070 --> 00:09:42.210
bumps his boom arm, which he does a lot. Just

00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:49.389
did a moment ago. Yeah. So, but. Beating that

00:09:49.389 --> 00:09:51.889
shit up. That's right, baby. I'm an audio guy.

00:09:52.169 --> 00:09:54.049
I'm going to geek out a little bit here. All

00:09:54.049 --> 00:09:56.370
right. When we're recording this, we're using

00:09:56.370 --> 00:09:58.629
a service called Riverside. Riverside is great.

00:09:58.710 --> 00:10:00.970
The audio quality, the video, everything about

00:10:00.970 --> 00:10:03.820
this Riverside is great. Yes, Riverside, shameless

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:06.000
plug. If you're listening, you can sponsor us

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.320
or whatever. Huckleberry Studios, Riverside.

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:10.899
So the way this works is a lot of people might

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.919
think that when I edit the audio, that I have

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.659
one audio file that has all three of us talking

00:10:16.659 --> 00:10:19.080
on it. No, that's not the case. I have three

00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.220
separate audio files. So when I'm talking and

00:10:22.220 --> 00:10:24.879
Don and Samantha are not, other things are happening

00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.779
in the background. If Don sneezes, if... Somebody

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:31.019
walks in the room with Sammy. Which inevitably

00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:33.240
always happens. If it starts raining outside

00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:35.500
in one of the microphones that isn't talking

00:10:35.500 --> 00:10:37.580
right now, those are all noises that are happening

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:40.019
in the background. Now, me as an audio engineer,

00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:43.919
it's my instinct to go to those audio files,

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.779
and when they're not talking, there's just dead

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:49.480
silence. There's no need to hear Don sneezing

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:53.840
or Samantha's coughing. Yeah, one of them. So

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.480
I edit that shit out. Now, I've heard some podcasts

00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.000
where they don't do that, and it irritates the

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.919
fuck out of me because I'm like, okay, unless

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.480
you don't have three separate audio files like

00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.419
I do, who wants to hear that noise in the background?

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:09.919
That's my OCD. Now, I pride myself in the way

00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.019
our podcasts sound. I think they sound very professional.

00:11:12.139 --> 00:11:14.600
They're clean. The first time I sent the very

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.720
first episode to my son, Alex, who doesn't listen

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.299
to podcasts, but he's listened to a few. The

00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:22.820
reason why he doesn't listen to them, very much

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:24.919
is because he's heard enough of them that sound

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.679
like garbage noise -wise. He's an audio geek

00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:30.100
like me. But he listened to our first episode,

00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:32.399
Sam, and he came back and he said, Dad, I got

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:34.379
to tell you, the first thing I noticed was clean

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:37.759
audio. Absolutely. And it's amazing how much

00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.039
cleaner it's gotten since Sammy put her mic the

00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.759
right fucking direction. Well, you know, there's

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.039
that. There's that. Where I was going with that

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.220
is I don't take medication for that because if

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:50.120
I did, then, you know, maybe the quality of our

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.000
podcast might go down because I wouldn't give

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.120
a fuck. But if I have any little quirks, that's

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.720
mine. It's that he cares too much, folks. He

00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.360
cares too much. That's his flaw. Well, here's

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.899
the thing. There's several podcasts that we listen

00:12:03.899 --> 00:12:06.100
to, right? And, you know, I'm a big fan of Theo

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:08.960
Vaughn, the Joe Rogan experience, Dirty John.

00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:11.259
You know, there's some other ones out there that

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:15.429
have live studio. Right? Everybody's in the same

00:12:15.429 --> 00:12:18.250
room. And you can do that. Now, these are high

00:12:18.250 --> 00:12:21.269
-dollar folks, man. We, Jake's got this really

00:12:21.269 --> 00:12:23.269
good stuff. We all have good equipment. But at

00:12:23.269 --> 00:12:26.269
the end of the day, I'm sitting in Florida. Sammy's

00:12:26.269 --> 00:12:27.909
sitting in North Carolina. Jake is sitting in

00:12:27.909 --> 00:12:29.769
Tennessee. You know, we're looking at each other.

00:12:29.830 --> 00:12:32.000
You've seen some of the videos. You know, Jake's

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.700
recording himself on an iPhone, which, by the

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:37.659
way, looks crisp as fuck. You know, Sammy, you

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:39.559
know, on her computer and I'm on my computer.

00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.100
So it's challenging. And I remember the first

00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:44.759
time Jake and I, not my first experiences in

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.659
the studio as a musician, but my first experience

00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:50.820
behind the board with Jake. I don't know shit

00:12:50.820 --> 00:12:54.100
about fuck to this day. Except Jake says, hit

00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:56.519
that button right there. That turns on and off

00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.759
audio into the box. That's all I know. the rest

00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.940
of them fucking buttons the blues and the reds

00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:05.419
and the greens these this goddamn i don't even

00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:07.080
know what the fuck this box is called it's got

00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.340
fucking wires like red yellow blue green wires

00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:12.620
hanging out of it that jake crosses over to here

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:14.799
and this and that the other and it looks like

00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.919
fucking a bad spaghetti just bad i don't have

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.820
a clue like the old timey switchboard operators

00:13:21.659 --> 00:13:23.679
Yeah, I think I bought Jake a shirt one time.

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.000
It says, yes, I do know what all these buttons

00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.379
do. But anyway, it's pretty magical to watch

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:33.620
a good quality sound engineer, which Jake, you

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:36.139
certainly are, and you have been for years. Well,

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:38.259
thank you. You know, even fresh out of school.

00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.620
You know a thing or two. We are celebrating Memorial

00:13:40.620 --> 00:13:44.000
Day today. You know, Memorial Day is one of those,

00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:46.980
the weekend is one of those for us combat veterans

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:49.379
that can be very challenging. I was happy to

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:51.500
know those ladies and gentlemen who came before

00:13:51.500 --> 00:13:54.399
me without whom we would not have the freedoms

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.759
we enjoy. And so let's just keep that in mind.

00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:58.580
And for those of you out there still doing the

00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:00.480
job, appreciate the fuck out of you guys and

00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.940
gals. Yeah. One of the most prolifically read

00:14:02.940 --> 00:14:06.960
poems on Memorial Day over the years is called

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.320
In Flanders Fields by John McRae. We'd love to

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.759
read this and please take a moment of silence

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.720
afterwards. And then we will see you guys next

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.580
week. In Flanders fields the poppies blow, between

00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:24.279
the crosses, row on row, that mark our place,

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.500
and in the sky the larks, still bravely singing,

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.480
fly, scarce heard, amid the guns below. We are

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.679
the dead, short days ago, we lived, felt dawn,

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.500
saw sunset glow, loved and were loved, and now

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:41.879
we lie in Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel

00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.879
with the foe, to you from falling hands we throw

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.090
the torch. be yours to hold it high if ye break

00:14:49.090 --> 00:14:53.049
faith with us who die we shall not sleep though

00:14:53.049 --> 00:14:56.730
poppies grow in flanders fields john mccrea
