Hot and sweaty sounding mix with a bit of a slow burn from Jerry - not crazy with the macho but cool.

They grip this and rip it until there's nothing left.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Jer takes what appears to be a laid back approach here and then throws CRAZY fills all over the this one - sheesh - have never heard one like this ... can't tell if he carved a fatty at the break or just was in a good mood... the S+D that follows is toxic so maybe it was the powder.
