“Absolutely. I'm a very humble guy though, it's like, if it comes, it comes, whatever. I would love Cody to do it and my daughter, specifically both of them. That would be just great, the most meaningful, heartfelt. But if it comes, it comes, if it doesn't, no big deal. I've had an awesome, incredible career. Doing some great things.”
