Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “Oh, Hey Man..."

Chapters
00:00 - Intro to Robert Baker

06:00 - Potientiometer codes


Notes
Uncle Larry gets a visit from a friend and well known YouTuber, dearest Robert Baker….who just happened to move here to the great country of Nashville .....a place that is completely isolated in it's own economic and social bubble.... and thusly absolutely impervious to any of the "economic woes" that may happen to occasionally devastate the rest of the United States at any given time.

Welcome my son….welcome….to…the machine….

...and if anyone wants to see ol' Uncle Larry plunkin' it waaaaaay back in 1996 on a major television broadcast check this out.....
