    7:35 I really like how Gerard included Eric here, that shows some real emotional intelligence, and a relatability I so deeply long for in other people. Unfortunately, this is a very rare quality. I think I would get along perfectly with Gerard and Mikey, and Eric for that matter. Great video thanks!
