04:03That's right.
04:04It hurts.
04:05I know.
04:06A lot of New Yorkers in this room.
04:07It's all right.
04:08It's okay.
04:09Saquon Barkley.
04:10He's an Eagle now.
04:11Let it go.
04:12Let it go.
04:13They did the deal.
04:14They did the deal.
04:15You let it go.
04:16You let it go.
04:17You guys got an attitude on me for no reason.
04:18Let it go.
04:19I feel bad.
04:20Did you remember the last time you were here and you kept going, fly?
04:23Yeah, I remember.
04:24And we were, you know.
04:25Everybody was looking down, frowning upon what I was doing.
04:27Now, look how you're looking at me.
04:29Like I work in the office.
04:31I didn't make the deal.
04:32It's true.
04:33I didn't make the deal.
04:34It's true.
04:35And you have two Eagles.
04:36You know that he has pet Eagles?
04:37I did.
04:38Actually, Kevin's never invited me to his house.
04:39Well, that's true.
04:40That's not true.
04:41I invited you and you were outside the gate.
04:42And he didn't let me in.
04:43Yeah.
04:44I didn't know you were out there that long.
04:45I was ringing.
04:46Yeah.
04:47I was ringing and I finally gave up and went back home.
04:48Yeah.
04:49That's a true story.
04:50That is a true story.
04:51Is that really true?
04:52No, it is.
04:53He invited you over and he never came to the door?
04:56No, they didn't come get me.
04:57No, she wouldn't make it to my door.
04:58It's the gate way before my door.
05:00She was there.
05:01I don't even know what the grounds look like.
05:02Yeah, yeah.
05:03She was at that gate.
05:04We don't let nobody to my actual gate.
05:05I thought you said she was one of your besties.
05:06One of my closest friends.
05:07Yes.
05:08But you don't invite her at?
05:09No, no, no.
05:10We invited her.
05:11See what you're saying?
05:12I was invited.
05:13We invited her.
05:14I wasn't allowed in.
05:15When you get to a certain distance, the reception gets tricky.
05:16Oh.
05:17And she didn't know what to do at the gate.
05:18So she was texting and calling.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Yeah.
