JESSE WAKE UP 

An allusion to Breaking Bad when Walter White breaks into Jesse Pinkman's place to wake him up.
Having consumed an excessive amount of hallucinogenic munchies given to him by Jesse, Walter desperately punches through Jesse's door. He then proceeds to frantically shake Jesse, who is knocked out, because he is coveting Kentucky Fried Chicken like a Catholic priest yearns children, but is himself afraid of acquiring it due to his high.

This line is often used hysterically as a mild inside joke in superior friend groups or in the crack-addicted Breaking Bad community. For instance, when your friend is dead asleep at 3 AM you may scare the life out of them by yelling the three magic words in intermittent order. Doing this after having set their house on fire enhances the experience. As a diehard Breaking Bad fan, it is unlikely that they will be upset at you for committing arson.

There are 27 three-word sentences in which you can yell any of these three words, but the most common are:
• "Jesse Wake Up."
• "Wake Up Jesse."
• "Jesse Jesse Jesse."

Some contemporary parents name their child -- or sometimes all of their children -- "Jesse" so that they can traumatise them with "JESSE WAKE UP!" every morning of their lives. Conveniently, the name is unisexual.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
