BC: ...children are here tonight, I’d like to tell you they’re paying attention to the show.  But honestly, they don’t give a fuck, they’re backstage playing [[w:Nintendo|Nintendo]].
Iha: They’re not [unintelligible].  I mean, they got some good games on that, uh, [[w:Nintendo Switch|Switch]].
BC: It’s like...[[w:Mario|Mario]]: number one, Dad: number two.
Iha: Hey, it’s a pretty good game, it’s–-
BC: Mario: number one, Dad: number two.
Iha: It’s a best selling game worldwide.
BC: So in the spirit of Mario, I’d like to reach for that star.
Iha: [unintelligible word or noise].
BC: And crush it with my goth hands into stardust.  And fill your empty heart with, uh, Mario stardust.  So that your heart would turn black.
Iha: Where is this--?
BC: And now you understand what I’m about to say.  I’m just-a joking.  One thing we’ve learned in 36 years is our jokes aren’t funny, but we still make them.  Because...we don’t give a fuck, heh heh heh.  But where we do care...with what little shred of decency we have left after 36 years in the rapacious and horrific music business....  Hahaha, you like where I’m going with this, don’t you?  We dedicate this next song to all of you in our most humble and sincere act of appreciation.  All jokes aside, we’re so appreciative.  I can’t even tell you, words do not express how we feel about those who’ve supported us, and to the young people coming to see us play, thank you.  It’s up there with the most awesome feelings in the world.  Number one: Mario.  Number two: Dad.  Number three: this is awesome.  So we dedicate this song to you.  Little song we wrote back in 1994, a song we call Tonight, Tonight.
