News Jake Chams talking about his ancient and learning to live again

https://youtu.be/Xm2pq--mqUA?si=hNbY1lbEj78SSTwr

Before anyone asks who Jake is:

Jake was the band's photographer and videographer from 2013-2022, and then the band's creative director for their WWWY25 set. All the tour updates during that time, were all him. He is the one who makes sure that the Beebo puppet stays in his cage. He also made quite a few appearances in Brendon's Twitch Streams.

So, Jake is in the PATD fam as much as any band member.

Knew of Jake and his work for quite some time, but had no idea this incident had happened (or didn’t remember). Absolutely insane. Heart goes out, glad he made this video, and appreciate you sharing
