There are just tons of games that you can play, and if you want to find out what kinds of games that you can play in a certain category, you can just say lady a, what word games do you have available? Or what trivia games or what quiz games? And she will give you a list and she’ll say, do you want that one or do you want others? And if you don’t want to play the one that she says, just say no and she’ll give you other options. Okay, that’s all we have for today. Just hope you had fun playing those games. I am not very good with games, but I sure do enjoy playing them. So just remember, there are lots and lots of games that you can play with your lady a. So we will be back next month, or shall I say, I will be back next month. And if you have any feedback that you want to submit, just send an email to feedback at unmute show and you can give me suggestions on what you might want to have me talk about, or just give me general feedback on what you’ve heard.
