Jeff RossHappy Belated Auxversary! I apologize for being late to share it here, but for the seventh anniversary of the Aux Cable podcast, I assembled a compilation of some of the advertisements from the show. I made it as a video instead of audio only so that, at any point of listening, you can look up at the screen and see which episode the particular segment is from. Here is the compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZMt3tjDimE
Jeff RossI finally finished my presentation recapping my fifth year on YouTube, which I intend to be the final presentation in this particular year-in-review series for my channel:
Jeff RossHere’s the update presentation I made recapping four years on YouTube:
Jeff RossHave I seen the show Gravity Falls? Not yet, but I did come across this musical video that appears to be relevant to it:
Jeff RossWas it the movie “Spider-Man: Homecoming” ?
Jeff RossI should probably bring this thread to the top of the Not-Forum in case someone is looking for auxcableshow.com/discord
Jeff RossTube years later, I did it! 😀 I made the 2:22am EST post on 2/22/22!! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Jeff RossFun fact: Five years ago today, Episode 001 of the Aux Cable was released. Happy Auxversary to the Aux Cable Podcast!!!!!
(In case you were wondering: No, I’m not the only one to celebrate this occasion for the past three or so years; I’m just the only one who has posted on this thread about it during that time. ?)
Jeff RossIt’s still 9/11 for another minute where I live, so even though this post is later than I wanted it to be, it’s still timely.
On Friday I had the opportunity to film a high school football game ? for my job as a camera operator. ? The game ended up being a close one, finishing 36-33 in favor of the home team, and it was competitive throughout. My favorite part of the event, however, had nothing to do with the play on the field.
During various moments of the contest, the fans for each team would chant “U-S-A! U-S-A!” instead of their regular team-specific cheers, in recognition of the unity our country showed rebounding from the 9/11 terrorist attacks 20 years ago. Most of those chanting were high school students who weren’t alive when those attacks took place, but they still recognized how significant it was that their fellow countrymen didn’t yield to fear after the events of that day.
It hit me as especially significant because I am old enough to remember when 9/11 took place. There was a lot of uncertainty afterwards, but the determination that so many people displayed then, believing that it was our duty to combat fear and bounce back stronger as a nation than we had ever been before, was truly inspirational to me as a boy living during that time. ?? Therefore, remembering 9/11 this year means a lot to me now, for it brings to mind all sorts of people that I saw, both on television and in my everyday life, who would not yield to fear, no matter how uncertain or threatening things seemed at the time.
In the past few years of remembering 9/11, I think I’ve focused so much on the tragedy of the loss from that day that I forgot about the resiliency of the recovery effort afterwards. It is a tragedy we never want repeated and that we ought to stay vigilant against, but there is also a lot of hope that can be gained from the way so many Americans, whether they were “important” or “famous” or seemingly “ordinary”, made up their minds to not let fear win control of their lives nor their country. During my lifetime there has not been a greater display of American unity than in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, and my prayer this year is for that spirit of determined unity to return to America without another terrorist attack taking place.
Jeff RossFun Fact (or Not-Fun Fact, depending on your perspective): The date of September 1, 2017, which this thread is named for, took place four years before I posted this comment. May the fours be with you.
Jeff Ross? Happy American Independence Day, everyone! ? ?? I’m loving living in the USA right now. It isn’t perfect, but the nation has been emerging from the pandemic quicker than most other countries in the world, thanks to widespread COVID-19 vaccine availability, and that makes me extra grateful to be here.
(You know, if I had read that previous sentence back when this thread was last posted on, I would have assumed it was a work of fiction. Yet here we are. ?)

Jeff RossHappy May the Fourth!
I hope you have a great day,
Filled with lots of memes. 🙂

Jeff RossHere’s the update presentation I made recapping three years on YouTube:
Jeff RossWhile we’re waiting, I feel like this silly Parry Gripp song could be parodied as “I want an Aux Cable for Christmas” at some point.
But hopefully the next episode comes out before Christmas 2021.
Jeff RossI’m pretty sure a turtle and a tortoise are not the same:
Jeff RossIt may not be Christmas Eve at the moment I post this, but I don’t want to wait until then to put this video on this thread:
Jeff RossI’m curious how challenging it would be to keep workers safe in the event of a food factory explosion like the one outlined in this video:

Jeff RossThe line “is it a nightmare or is it a dream” in this Parry Gripp song reminds me of this thread:
Jeff RossI was looking through a few Not-Forum threads deciding whether to comment on some of them, and it was surprising to me that I read “Hi It’s a me Explosive Yeast” followed by “Snow”, and both had Parry Gripp songs in them. So I’ll link to a Parry Gripp song here, since it counts as music:
Jeff RossDear Manalive Smith,
I understand that you don’t visit the Not-Forum too often anymore, and I respect that. However I would love to see more of you. That being said, may I please know what your preferred brand of washing machine is?
Sincerely,
Jeff Ross
Jeff RossPowerful point. But you know what is a long-term investment? GameStonk.
I’m kidding, it’ll probably be back to normal by the time the current flurries of snow have melted in the spring. Nevertheless, it was entertaining while it lasted.

Jeff RossI suppose that such a biome is in a shape that doesn’t have any edges or corners, so it does fit the definition of a pointless conspiracy theory.
Jeff RossSo I was looking at the Indiana laws, and it appears that having real hippos for the Hungry Hungry Hippos game may be legal. Kentucky, probably not, but Indiana might work. I think the key is to have a “not-wild hippo” rather than a “wild hippo”. But don’t quote me on that, because I’m not an expert on Indiana laws at this moment.
Alternatively, we could just not bring the hippos. Hungry Hungry hippos without real hippos would probably be a much easier logistical feat to pull off. There was some concern about the idea expressed when Manalive originally brought it up on the Not-Forum anyway, although I don’t know if the concern was fully addressed or not: https://auxcableshow.com/community/topic/auxcon/page/25/#post-23315
