Ohio Senator and GOP vice presidential nominee <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jd-vance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JD Vance</a> said on Thursday that his 7-year-old son was trying to talk to him about Pokemon as former President Donald Trump called him about joining his ticket.
Vance made the comments on the “Full Send Podcast” when asked by the Nelk Boys after being asked about finding out that Trump had selected him as his vice president pick. He said that his son was interrupting his call with Trump to try to talk to him about Pikachu, a yellow creature with electrical abilities from the Pokemon universe. 
The Ohio Republican began by talking about how when he flew to Milwaulkee for the Republican National Convention he didn’t have WiFi on the plane so he had no idea what was going on. When he landed he said he had hundreds of messages. 
“And I land and I’ve got like 350 messages,” he said.  “And one of them is from somebody on the Trump campaign and says, ‘Hey, you know, check your phone. Make sure you don&#8217;t miss a call because a really important call is coming.’”

President Trump spoke to his son on speakerphone and read the statement off to him before posting it on Truth.

He said didn’t know if it would be a good call or bad call, but said he knew it would be an “important call.”
&#8220;And about an hour later, I get another message from the same person who says, &#8216;Hey, you just missed a really important call,’” Vance said.

He said that he called Trump back, who jokingly told him that he was going to have to select someone else instead of him. 
“JD, you missed a very important phone call and now I&#8217;m gonna have to pick somebody else,” Vance said Trump told him as he tensed up. 
“The crazy thing about it is my son, who’s 7, is in the hotel room with me, and he’s really into Pokemon cards right now. He’s going through a Pokemon phase right now,” he said. “So he’s trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I’m on the phone with Donald Trump.”
Joking, he said that he asked his son to “shut the hell up for about 30 seconds about Pikachu.” 
“This is the most important phone call of my life,” he said. “Please just let me take this phone call. And he doesn’t care. He doesn&#8217;t know what the President of the United States means.”
He said Trump asked who was speaking and told him to put his son on speaker phone. 
“Trump proceeds to read the statement that he’s about to put out making me his vp nominee,” he said. Vance said Trump asked his son what he thought of the statement and his son said, “Oh, it sounds pretty good.” 
“He hangs up the phone and the statement goes out five minutes later and then my whole life changed,” Vance concluded.
