Everyone in my family is like, oh, you look like Uncle Boat.

I feel like my grandfather is up there.

pulling strings or something because he was always hyping me up, was always supportive of me.

So when I have these opportunities, and my mom texted me last night, she was like, I just prayed to God.

I'm so grateful for you.

I feel like all the bad things you went through in school and growing up, God knows you're ready to receive these blessings with humility.

And I do feel that way.

Like I have so much gratitude and I'm sure it comes across annoying to the other people in the press pool.

I'm like, oh my God, we're here in the room with the president.

But it's like, I'm grateful to be there.

Sue me for being excited to be there.

Yesterday, the reporters were so making fun of me in the pool.

We go to that big gymnasium where you had the parents and the kids and the stands like we showed earlier.

And we're standing or waiting for the first and second lady to come in.

And I hear this yelling and the screaming.

And I'm like, what is that?

What is that?

And some of the other reporters who are like serious DC journalists, ones from ABC, ones from here, they're like, Link, those ladies are yelling at you.

And I look in the stands and then these kind of middle-aged conservative looking women and they're going...

Link, Link, come here, come here, Link.
