Sender: Not until later why what's up?
Gremmie: Just wondering...
Sender: Don't touch my XLR cables.
Gremmie: Dude I don't even like chewing on those anymore.
Gremmie: Hey would you be down to stop buying the woven cables? I heard they're not as good as the rubber ones. Totally has nothing to do with the way they get stuck between my teeth. Also can you bring some new ones when you come to the studio there's mysterious bite marks on the ones here...
