>> DOES EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT THIS WAS? SO WE SAID THAT WE THOUGHT
THAT -- WE DID TWO JOKES WHICH I DIDN'T THINK WERE IN ANY WAY
FUNNY TO ANYBODY. I SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL YOU WERE
KICKING OFF A U.N. SUMMIT PERFORMANCE, AND YOUR FANS WERE
15-YEAR-OLD GIRLS, WHICH OF COURSE ISN'T TRUE BECAUSE I'M 43
YEARS OLD AND I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE ONE TO HAVE THE BIGGEST
B.T.S. FANS ON PLANET EARTH. ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
BUT, YEAH, IT WAS -- I'VE NEVER BEEN ON THAT SIDE OF THE ARMY
BEFORE, AND -- ( LAUGHTER )
>> WHOO! >> James: THE FIRST I KNEW
ABOUT IT WAS WHEN REGGIE SENT ME A TEXT. DO DO YOU REMEMBER, REG? >> Reggie: YEAH. I WAS, LIKE, HEY, ARE YOU OKAY? >> James: AND I WAS, LIKE,
WELL, SOMEONE JUST TOLD ME THAT THEY HOPE I DIE TODAY, WHICH
FELT EXTREME IN RESPONSE TO WHAT I THOUGHT WERE TWO HARMLESS
JOKES THAT WE NEVER MEANT TO BE AT ANYONE'S EXPENSE BECAUSE I
HOPE YOU KNOW WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND THE ARMY. I CONSIDER THE B.T.S. ARMY TO BE
THEIR ABSOLUTE BEST, WHEN THEY ARE A TRUE FORCE FOR GOOD, LIKE
THEY HAVE SUPPORTED CHARITIES THAT I SUPPORT AT HOME AND
THEY'RE AMAZING. I DON'T KNOW, THE PROSPECT OF
DOING ANYTHING THAT MAY HAVE UPSET THEM IS I DIDN'T ENJOJOY
THAT FEELING AND I HOPE THEY KNOW THAT WE WOULD NEVER DO --
>> JAMES, IT'S ALL RIGHT. WE APPRECIATE THE APOLOGY. >> WE JUST LIKE TO CLEAR THE
AIR, RIGHT? >> James: BUT WE LOVE YOU! WE LOVE YOU! WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU, WE DO! AM I STILL PAPA MOCHY? >> YEAH. I DUB YOU! >> James: OH! ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
