Hi Frank, how are you?
John, how are you?
Oh, John, how are you?
Yeah.
How many of you are children of brothers and sisters?
So I'll take a picture of how you like it.
Three of these?
All right, sure.
Well, first I'll take them on a frame, and then you'll want to try it.
All right.
All right.
Now that's for you, and now we have three of these.
All right.
Good, good, good.
Now let's maybe a couple.
We'll be pressing.
Tide pods.
You have two of those?
I do.
One's a three-year-old.
A three-year-old?
Well, all right, we'll go with that.
When he gets older, he'll get in his tide pods.
And that's it.
There's three tide pods.
One for you, one for the other two.
And for your sister.
And for your mother.
And for your brother.
Frank, do you want a golf ball?
What would you like?
You've got a tag ball, sir.
You've got comics?
We've got comics.
That's all you've got.
Oh, wait, you should have a cable tape, too.
That's right.
Now, y'all, hold it up.
I'm next to you.
He's a great guy.
Well, isn't he a good kid?
Oh, yes.
He's a great football man.
Wonderful guy.
He's a fine man.
He's a fine man.
He's been making speeches to high schools about drugs.
Getting the kids off of it and stuff.
That's right.
You know, particularly from a football they admire.
You know, kids' strengths.
You follow baseball.
He's really, really, really, probably the best natural batter in the game.
Wow.
Good luck to you, sir.
Thank you.
Bye.
Goodbye.
