Iha: Alright, we will just -- we're gonna improvise, I hope you guys like improvised music. We do this all the time. You know, I was thinking about uh...Rotterdam, what a hell of a place this place is. And then I remembered I couldn't remember anything about Rotterdam. But then, uh, then I woke up and I thought it was a really beautiful place with beautiful people here, so thank you again.

Iha: Uh, Call of Duty, uh, Minecraft....
BC: I know you're a big gamer.
Iha: Heh heh heh!
BC: Anyway, we jest.
Iha: I love video games.
BC: We know that you don't have a sense of humor, it's okay. Hahahahaha! That was a joke, you see?
