Well, it's timing and we're talking about getting to know each other. And the thing is, is that we learn, I feel that we learned really quickly that, you know, you could toss a ball in that direction and she was going to catch it and throw it back.

Which he was so excited about that. He was. But I don't know if you all remember, John actually had some misgivings. He was like, why would they give me Frida Payne? Sexy Frida Payne.
