Someone better triple the cameraman's paycheck for holding this steady during this absolute groove.

It's on a gimbal

[@PhilRushworth]

@@jtn191 still... This is funky enough to break physics!

[@AndrewBakke]

Jack, absolute madlad going behind the drums.

[@mviz2299]

Jack Stratton can groove in reverse phase, so the vibrations disappear and the camera is perfectly smooth. Physics is funky.

Why does this font company keep releasing funk instrumentals?

[@butterdee7542]

Strange marketing strategy but it’s definitely working

[@dielaughing73]

To advertise their upcoming typeface conference, probably.

My 3 small kids love this song. They call it "the nod bob song" because Joe is called "nod bob". They can't really go out because of covid so we try to end each day with a dance party. This gets played every day. You should see them jump around! Thanks FF

[@sweetegg]

Thats amazing

[@foxeguitar8020]

haha. That's great. Also great that your kids no longer have to huddle inside, although if one thing came of that time it's that a lot of families got to spend a lot of quality time with each other and have some fun. Everyone always says they wished they could just stay home and not have to go to work. Well....we all got our wish lol. Sometimes we get what we want, just not HOW we thought we would get it.
