7-1. You are the flame, John bonus. Damn, straight. Yeah, you're right.

So here we are on the second day of May. Get nicer out there. Feeling good. A little

windy out there yesterday. I don't know when the wind is ever going to die down. Yeah,

it was pity it's just today. New house for you. Yeah, congratulations.

Stand up to the wind. Yes, it did. Yeah, thank you very much. Gordon, my foot is dead.

That put shipping through a phone to beat June. We just walked in. I wrote it like, I don't know,

three, four minutes. First words I thought of. And then the guys just picked up their instruments

and they said, hey, would this work? And we hit record and this was it.

Back from some mill in Wisconsin. There's the big free tricks. Unbelievable. Yeah. There's this song
