GARY: So I wanted to close the loop. In addition to the other deliverables, I have one more. It’s this wedding ring. Cindy, will you marry me? CINDY: I will, Gary. You have been an absolute ninja. This moves the needle in a significant way. #McSweeneysTop25of2025

What's your "how can one album have so many bangers?" album
