Garrett word-pukes out his anxiety about his upcoming backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon, plays "OK", and rallies. Enjoy!

Garrett checks in on election night in America, imagines global AOK-ness, plays "Imagine" by John Lennon, and gets a little vulgar about the give-n-take with the universe.

Garrett takes his dog to the grocery store, how he books gigs, and a spooky mad-scientist laboratory outro jam. Happy Halloween!
