Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Roma No. 65.

0:32.8

More or less, I don't know, sometimes I forget to put a number on them. They just slip through.

0:38.3

In the Brauma's, I'm not going to number Brauma's. Brauma, by the way, is it's not a

bro Roma. It's a bonus Roma. I'm not a bro, I guess. I think I was, I was an honorary

0:55.3
