You love off the Record because not a week goes by where I don't get an email from somebody talking about how off the Record saved them a bunch of money, a bunch of headaches because they got those points off of their driving record. Or I should say, they never allowed them to get there in the first place. If you get pulled over doing anything, really what you should do is get off the record. Okay, you should call off the Record. You should actually not call. You should go to offtherecord.com TST off the Record will then find an attorney that's very qualified to fight that ticket in the jurisdiction where you got it. You then have to give some information in order for them to effectively do their jobs, and then pretty much nothing else.

You know, we had this watch event at the shop, and I used the PA speakers to just, like, play some Bluetooth music from my computer. And I ran a microphone, xlr just directly into the back of one. Like, have a little thing. And so. But when I first, you know, I plugged in the. The one speaker and then Daisy chained the other speaker, right? And I plugged the mic in and it was like, real quiet. And the main knob that seemed to control volume didn't really do anything. So I went into the menu and went into the channel one gain, which is where the mic was plugged in. And, like, turned it up, and, like, that worked. And the mic got louder. All right, fine. I then played music over Bluetooth, and, you know, I had. I used the volume controls, like, on my computer to make adjustments, and, like, it worked fine. And, like. And then Christian took the amp, the pa, because he was gonna use it for his show. Well, he calls me the next day, like, texts me, and then calls me. I don't pick up because my phone is on, like, silent or whatever. Texts me again, like, please call me. Please call me. I call him as soon as I get it, and he goes, you gotta tell me what you did. And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, to the pa, like, what did you. What did you change? And by the way, he was there. Like, he came to this event. He didn't set it up with me, but he was. He was there. And so he heard. Like, the levels weren't all fucked up. Like, he made a playlist. But he's like, you gotta tell him what you did. And I go, what do you mean? All I did was I changed the gain. He goes, the gain seems fine. I go, no, no, there's, like, the main gain, and then you hold down the button to go into the menus, and it's where you change more settings and connect to the Bluetooth and whatever. I said, there's another gain setting for channel one and channel two. And I turned up the gain on channel one, and that made the microphone work. That's all I did. And he goes, that's all you did? And I go, that's all I did. And he's like, because one of these speakers sounds fine, and the other one is, like, functionally useless. And I go, look, you're an audio engineer, and I'm just a moron that was trying to make a microphone sound good. I only changed one setting. And, like, I really assumed that whatever I changed, you would be able to easily change back. You can walk up to any stereo and make it sound as best as it can sound. That's like, your gig. And so I was like, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. That's all I did. So he goes, all right, all right. And, like. So the next morning, I went like, hey, man, you know, he went to. He did his show or whatever, and I didn't hear anything. Next morning, he. He goes. I go, hey, man, like, how'd it go? He goes, oh, well, your PA system is, like, not usable. We have to. We have to get together. This is. I mean, it's like, brand new. We have to get together.
