I’m pretty polite and respectful to everybody so there was that moment and then she walks away and then the boys start getting on, ‘Yeah, you won’t do it.’ And it wasn’t like, ‘okay, I’ll do it,’ tail between my legs going over there. I said, ‘Not only will I do it, I’ll enjoy it.’ And I did. It was a great night.”
