Well, first of all, Molly, you look very nice, Snow White, you look very, very nice.

Thank you.

Very nice, okay.

Wendy, you know, you know, you know, Wendy, I mean, I got to get on you.

I mean, you look dapper, don't get me wrong the blaze is nice and the shirt

But I've noticed something about you you're one of the rare individuals that has shown up on first take and you're never ever wearing a tie. Now you do

understand that there is a standard on first take. We don't play that

Wendy. So I mean it's a beautiful mall out here in Twin City do I need to go and get you

some ties I'm happy to do it.

I'm happy to jump in here Wendy Stephenette you gotta admit though his hair is

always tight he's always has I know right so he always looks

clean like I think he gets away with the no tie and it's still he's the only

guy who's here listen he's the only guy who's here look he's the only guy who's here looked better than Top Gun himself, uh, uh,

J.J. Reddick. I mean, I got to give it to Wendy on that, yeah.
