BLESS YOU!

I AM SO THRILLED TO SEE YOU.

WE HAVE HAD THE BEST DAY FILMING WITH YOU.

IT'S BEEN A THRILL.

IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE WE ALL SAW EACH OTHER IN THE FLESH AND

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER TO SEE YOU.

HO UH ARE YOU DOING?

HOW IS EVERYBODY?

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ARE WE ALL WELL AND GOOD?

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S SO GOOD TO BE BACK.

WE'RE VERY WELL.

BUT, JAMES, HOW ABOUT YOU?

YOU HAVE BEEN IN SOME HOT WATER.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> 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 ) OH, I'M GOING TO CRY!

OH, GOD -- IT'S JUST SUCH A RELIEF!

I THOUGHT I'D LOST MY BABY MOCHY!

LET'S TALK ABOUT TODAY, A HUGE DAY, YOU RECEIVED YOUR SECOND

GRAMMY NOMINATION TODAY.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I FEEL LIKE EVER SINCE YOU

LANDED IN LOS ANGELES, IT'S JUST BEEN NONSTOP FOR YOU.

YOU WERE AT THE HARRY STYLES CONCERT, HANGING OUT WITH LIZZO.

AND YOU WON THREE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS, WHICH CONGRATULATIONS,

AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I SEE HOW HARD YOU WORK ALL THE

TIME.

HOW DO YOU REST?

>> HOW DO YOU GUYS REST?

( SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE ) >> James: NO, YOU DON'T.

DON'T YOU START WITH THAT.

NO, THIS ISN'T TRUE.

>> SO LYING.

>> James: IT'S AN ABSOLUTE LIE.

>> James: IT'S AN ABSOLUTE LIE.

I'VE LOVED SEEING YOU AFTER SORT OF NOT SEEING YOU FOR A COUPLE

OF YEARS BUT I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT MY BABY

MOCHY FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE IS IT JUST ME, AND YOU TELL ME IF HE'S

NOT GOING TO TELL ME THE TRUTH, I FEEL LIKE THE BABY MOCHY HAS

BEEN HITTING THE GYM.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) IS THIS TRUE?

THERE WAS A MOMENT TODAY, I WON'T TELL YOU TOO MUCH ABOUT

IT, I ENDED UP CARING JIMIN ACROSS THE STREET AND I THOUGHT,

MY BOY'S BEEN WORKING OUT!

IS THIS TRUE?

HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE GYM?

>> JUST RUNNING OR CLIMBING STAIRS?

>> James: RIGHT.

I LIKE TO EXERCISE.

>> James: BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN PUTTING WORK INTO THE

GUNS HERE.

CAN WE LOOK AT THIS?

LOOK AT THIS!

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> James: WHAT DID V. SAY?

V.'S SAYING YOU'VE GOT TO TOUCH HIS THIGHS.

IT'S SO THICK, LIKE A CONCRETE.

>> James: JIMIN, HOW'S THE THIGHS WORKING OUT?

GIVE ME A FULL FLEX.

GO.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> James: AND THAT'S A PIECE

OF WOOD.

THAT'S A PIECE OF WOOD.

GUYS -- GUYS, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU, IT IS SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU

BACK HERE IN THE STUDIO.

YOU LIFT OUR ENTIRE CREW.

YOU LIFT THE ENTIRE AUDIENCE EVERY TIME YOU ARE HERE.
