      In honor of all the insects out there that don't get any credit for pollination, I hereby designate this day as International Lesser-Known Pollinator Appreciation Day. You have no authority to do that. I will not be swayed by your negativity. Here's a flag. Okay. And now to sing the anthem, it is my pleasure to introduce you to the honey sweet, smoky stylings of The Fly Guys. Honey sweet.
