speaking of cruises, though, we haven't talked about how barrels of fun... is doing a pinball cruise.

And I remember, I want to say like on one of our first episodes, I brought up the idea of doing a pinball cruise.

They're putting on a pinball cruise, which I think is going to be probably pretty rad.
I feel like the demo for like people who buy pinball machines and people who go on cruises is just like two circles.
You've probably, have you done a cruise before? Like, have you done like, is there like emo cruises or anything?

Like, I don't know if I would, it would be my first choice of like a, vacation to do but i do see like that's just for me i do see the benefit of it like work yeah i mean you know when when you know everything's kind of contained on the boat like they've got like good food and like you go to a different place every day or whatever and you get off the get off the boat and see some see some shit and get back on and i totally understand the the draw of of cruises especially since like sometimes you get pretty good deals on them too when you know comparing it to like a actual like vacation where you just go somewhere so yeah but but i yeah i think it's a good time and and i'm sure plenty of people listen to this are like all about cruises like you know because most people listen to this are uh old
Well, and I was going to say there's probably going to be two types of people on that cruise.
There's going to be like couples who, you know, they just want to get away and play some pinball.
And then there's going to be creeps like me who are just like, you're trapped alone on the boat with me.
