  • Thank you for having us here today.

  • Oh, it's so nice to meet you.

  • Kensley, how are you doing?

  • We can't even see that little pedicure.

  • How did the pedicure go?

  • Now, you're so obsessed with your toes, I bet she really--

  • Her dogs are barking today.

  • Are they barking?

  • Yeah.

  • So what made you-- do you do that often?

  • What made you post that?

  • So, I'm a New York City fireman.

  • So I'm always working, you know?

  • So it's hard to bond with her as often as I would like.

  • But I just did it one day, and just to

  • just to show her how she should be treated.

  • You know, I try to pamper her a little bit,

  • just to show her how a man should treat her.

  • You know?

  • She has a point.

  • High expectations, right?

  • You want to add something?

  • Something you need to say?

  • Do you have a point?

  • All right.

  • So you posted this, and did you have any idea that it

  • would go viral like that?

  • Absolutely not.

  • I just-- when I posted it, everyone just

  • started tagging you.

  • And I was just like, oh my god.

  • This is crazy.

  • I can't believe that there was another picture that

  • should have gone viral.

  • This one in the calendar.

  • You were Mr. March.

  • And I don't know why that didn't go viral.

  • [CHEERING]

  • Oh my god.

  • They're making noise because of your daddy's tummy.

  • Yeah.

  • Yes, so that was actually for a good cause.

  • That was for the animals.

  • To raise awareness for pet adoption.

  • I know.

  • That was really cool that you did that.

  • That's amazing.

  • So you work a couple of jobs.

  • You're a firefighter, and what else do you do?

  • I'm in school for nursing, I'm also a medical assistant.

  • Right.

  • And so, why do you want to be a nurse also?

  • I just enjoy helping people.

  • Nursing is just-- it's a wonderful profession,

  • and I just enjoy helping people.

  • And I want to show Kensley, even if you have a career,

  • you can always better yourself, you know?

  • High expectations.

  • Right, Kensley?

  • Because you know, where I'm from, I come from the projects,
