bye Bloopers bye why do I have so many lists in my fanny pack but before we go anywhere this happens on cruise ship have to completely reorganize the purse and I never do it beforehand that's against the rules in the center console now what is happening what what do we need wipes for just to wipe things Jacob do you think they had fanny packs in the actual Renaissance I like to think they did also I discovered there was a rule here you can only carry as many drinks as you have hands for so you cannot come and order three drinks there's a bug in yours great oh wait before you hang can I have another battery I don't know the right answer to this question the 21st and 22nd wine wry rry wine wry today I [Music]
