As you leave the venue, visit the authorized merchandise stands to purchase your T-shirts and hats. Thank you. Jimmy wants to buy a new Ferrari, and he needs you to buy the T-shirts so he can buy his new Ferrari. Thank you. Some guy just yelled “play the fucking song”, you know what? Go fuck yourself. Just go back to high school, my friend. I’m just kiddin’, I’m just kiddin’, I love you, you can state your opinion, it’s fine. I don’t agree with it, but it’s all right. ‘Cause I’ll play the song when I fuckin’ wanna. I’m 41 fuckin’ years old, I think I’ve earned the right to do what the fuck I wanna do. Thank you. I love you, I love you, I love you, we love you. We thank you very much. We’re very happy to be here in New Zealand. It’s one of the most beautiful countries in the world, you’re very lucky. You got beautiful white women, you got beautiful May-ori [Maori] women, you got beautiful space-lien women…You got all sorts of beautiful everythings. Thank you. Jeff, you got a beautiful Asian woman here. You’re over the Asians?
