his dad tim who is depicted in that home video. first off, pam and tim, what was that like? when you opened up that letter, what were you thinking as you started reading? it was we really didn t expect a gift from him. we have kind of encouraged him just to save his money and be generous to others and we had no idea he was up to something. so, we really didn t have any expectations. i thought at the last second i thought maybe it was a vacation. i m like we really don t need a vacation right now. and so i had no expectation. brian: pam, what were your thoughts as you were reading it? it was a very emotional moment. just listening to it again gets me kind of choked up. it s just the memory that i will have for a lifetime. brian: pavin, why was it so important to sign first round draft pick of the diamondbacks. you get a big signing bonus. why was it so important for you to let your parents know

[laughter] he was being very sneaky. brian: have you raised a very sneaky child. i m very embarrassed for you. exactly. brian: now the whole country is going to be watching your success and progress and at least at one time through the pro-station people are going to be pulling for you to be successful. so i would argue as great as it is to pay for the mortgage to see him on the mound pitching for the diamondbacks in a major league baseball team i would dare to say, parents, the best is yet to come, tim. i think so. i think. so. brian: all right, great. hopefully you will be paying your mortgage soon even if you have to get one. thanks for sharing your family story on criticisms. continued success, pavin. thank you. appreciate it. thanks for having us. brian: and to your whole family. 30 minutes before the top of the hour. rosie o donnell had this message for house speaker paul ryan. go to hell now. franklin graham heard, this read this and is getting 1r068d
