      @Marshall Fairbrother he's got the LCT140 Air pair. The 040 is a little smaller and has a little different sound character, but very close.

      "The hospital has a weird way of reminding you how hard relationships are. You may at times be bitter enemies, [Cox and Kelso glare at each other, before Cox huffs off], or maybe too close, [Turk and Carla seen sitting at the lunchroom table, discussing her impending maternity leave] but at the end of the day people expect you all to unite in the fight against mortality. At points it seems impossible, but I suppose that's what working at a hospital is. Beating the odds, even if it means doing so with people you don't really know how to handle. [scene ends as JD awkwardly stops before the exit, seeing Elliot sitting on the steps outside waiting for a ride. He draws in a breath and pushes ahead.]
      JD [to Elliot]: "See you tomorrow."
      Elliot: "Wha? Oh, ya, see ya."

    I am a 30 year old dude. Happily married to my 30 year old wife. These songs are what we grew up on. We are the ones keeping them alive. I've gotten my Lil bro and his friends back into it. My cousin. The younger generation in my area. I take pride in that haha. Now we have two beautiful daughters. 8 and 4. There isn't a night that goes by that we aren't listening to this music. I want you to know there isn't a night that goes by we aren't listening to you. What you have done to the most important music of our lives is incredible. Thank you dude. Seriously thank you.

    Bruh I could learn and pull this out at a college bonfire when it starts to get just a bit cold and I GENUINELY don't think most people would be able to tell this is an early 2000's punk/alt ballad.
    This is fucking SICK
