14th generation 14 Generations ago they invented so so you’re supposed to like put all the stuff in there and then pour the sauce on just kind of crazy been here for 600 years still alive jeez what’

I’ve been looking forward for this forever but like we’ve done we saw everything so much we could not have done more in a day than we have been doing so I’m proud of this yeah I think we did good but it ises believe so it is so sad we’ll be back maybe probably yes we will in like 100 years yeah [Music]
