I believe you can add a plain javascript function to your send function (well, you'll have to create one first -- it looks like you are currently using the angular `scope.send(...)`).

```auto
<md-button class="md-raised" ng-click="clicked(); sendMsg(msg)"

```

Then in your sendMsg function, make sure they really want to continue before sending:

```auto
function sendMsg(msg) {
    if (confirm("Are you nuts?!?")) {
        $scope.send(msg);
    }
    else {
        console.warn("Whew! Crisis averted...");
    }
}

```
