A lot of turning 25. Red the car.

Hey, everyone. You know me.
I'm Patricia Baxter. I just wanted to piggyback on what everyone was saying.
Tries to pull the mic out of your phone. Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.

This is not really sort of a speech. Oh, yeah.
Sorry. I just wanted to say,

when we put up the bouncy house, keep in mind the adults shouldn't go in there, okay? We've had a lot of fun.

A lot of adults kind of make their way to the bounce house. A lot of kids have been concussed.

Your bodies are just very big, and when you're bouncing around, you will knock into those kids. So, no adults in the bounce house.

Not trying to be like a what if you need to sort of let something out?

What if there's sort of something inside you

need a conduit for?

We actually this year bought a they call them a smash station. So it's like old TVs and lamps, and then you put on goggles and you get a bat and you smash it.
Hey, thank you.

You're welcome.

What about rail thin adults who have speaking? Oh, yes, hi. Basically, the same thing.

Basically, the same mass-wise bodies as children.

I think I'd, on a case-by-case basis, by case basis. All right,

that if you can shop at the Husky Boy section of Target, that you can be in the bounce house.

There is no Husky Boy section of Target. There used to be.

What's my hair color in 2028? What's my hair color in 2029? What's my hair color in 2020? Oh, I'm from the past.

Oh, that makes more sense. Yeah.

Probably should have done it at the beginning, though, right? Huh? Stay on that side of the street. Oh, stay over there.
Do you need me to start the act? No, stay there.

Everybody say thank you, Miss Aaron.

I thanked you guys in the other ones.

Not getting thanked.

All right,

guys, I

gotta tell you, before we go out there and play,

I was so nervous to ask the other dads on the block to make a band with me. And I'm just so thrilled that you guys agreed to it.
Oh, yeah, this is gonna be a killer. I think.

Hey, Jess is a great idea. Yeah.
And we all sort of like

gravitate towards the same music. So it kind of worked out, you know?

We all play different instruments. My wife hyped me up for months.
She was like, go ask him, go ask him, go ask him. So I'm glad I did it.
I'm glad I did.

We always hear you in there drumming in the garage.

And, you know, we always thought like,

maybe he's doing his own thing, like, yeah, or like,

yeah,

but it's so cool that you like approached us, you know, yeah, and honestly, like, drums was like, Jeff, it was like the missing piece, you know? Yeah, I play drums,

Gary plays drums. Well, I play acoustic percussion, right? I can play drums, but I prefer to do

the big congress,

the slap stick. What's the stick that you slap? Vibrasizing.

Whack. Yeah, like in a lot of cake songs.
Well, that's vibrous slap, which is different. That's the thing where you go,

and it kind of like vibrates. You guys, all I'm saying is this all-drum

cover of Phil Collins'.

Yeah, we all do that part. I can feel it.
Oh, who gets it? Who's singing vocals? Oh, yeah, we haven't talked about it. Vocals.

Vocals, vocals.

Maybe let's go around and I'll start us off. Yeah, sing something Phil Collins.
Mary Made Me Mesh Miamin M's. Wait, you said Phil Collins? Yeah.
Did he write that? Mary Made Me Mash My Min M's?

It doesn't matter. It's gonna be a no.
I just,

it's not bad. It's just not Phil Collins.
It's like not for the song.

You know.

Okay. Can I try

some Phil Collins? It's me, Phil Collins. Phil Collins.
I don't know if you hear his accent when he sings. Really? Yeah.
I think you're thinking of a Beetle.

Maybe, maybe.

Jeff,

we have heard each other sing all the time, obviously. Let's hear your voice.

Could it be something like this?

I wanna know.

Can you show me?

I wanna know about these strangers like me.

Tell me more. Don't stop.
Can you show me something familiar about these strangers like me?

I can feel it.

I'm not the beat.

I swallowed the beat. I asked the beat.
You swallowed the beat. You swallowed the beat.
I beat. Is that a music therm? We don't know that.

Is that a music therm? We don't know that term. Swallowed the beat.

You sounded fine. How's my voice sound? Don't.
Are you embarrassed? Why are you clutching your neck? I just had my voice sound sound and it sounds good, though. I can still sing it.
Oh, no.

This is like Backstreet Boys with the one guy.

You know, the one guy for Backstreet Boys,

he has an issue where he can't sing anymore. Oh, that's wrong.
I didn't know about that. No, no, I can do it.
I can do it. Please tell me.
Not Chris.
