	As told by Neil:		As told by Neil:

	<blockquote>"One day my friend and fellow filmmaker Ryan Murphy showed up at my house with a MiniDV tape containing over half an hour of footage he had shot with another friend, Jake Quilty-Dunn. Ryan asked me if I could capture the footage to my hard drive so he could edit it and put it on YouTube. As I watched the footage, Ryan expressed some doubt that I would be amused– he assumed it was one of those things where you just had to be there. But he was wrong, and I found the footage hilarious. I told him I wanted to edit it myself. He was fine with that. The footage was of Jake, sitting in a chair, saying very strange things in a strange voice to “Spencer”, a silent man played by Ryan. Jake’s rantings are a mishmash of private jokes, improv, overheard dialog, and menacing homoeroticism. The real Ben Bernanke is the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He has very little to do with how he’s portrayed by Jake. There have been no reports of him seeking ownership of anybody’s teeth."<ref>https://genius.com/Lemon-demon-ben-bernanke-lyrics~~</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/lTvW2IyhwZw?si=i6I3mQpE2y-OBzvH~~</ref></blockquote>		<blockquote>"One day my friend and fellow filmmaker Ryan Murphy showed up at my house with a MiniDV tape containing over half an hour of footage he had shot with another friend, Jake Quilty-Dunn.
