00:00Oh, Scooter!
00:02What's up?
00:02What's up, baby?
00:03How are you?
00:05I'm good.
00:05How you doing, man?
00:06Good.
00:07The pride of North Carolina State in the hizzle.
00:10Hey, I'll take it.
00:12Zach Galifianakis might have me beat, but it's all good.
00:16I'm all right, man.
00:18It's good to see you.
00:19Yeah.
00:20Thanks for having me on.
00:21Dude, we're glad to have you.
00:22Everybody is pumped on here.
00:23They've been waiting for you.
00:24And they told me what your nickname was.
00:26I didn't know Scooter was your nickname.
00:27And everybody's like, no, Scooter.
00:28Yeah, that's 99% of the folks that are, like, friends.
00:35Nobody calls me Scotty at home.
00:36Everybody's calling me Scooter.
00:38That's cool.
00:39I like that.
00:40Hey, when you played ball, were they always called you Scooter?
00:44When you played baseball?
00:47No, I don't know.
00:48Or was it prodigy?
00:48Scooter's kind of probably a last five to ten years kind of thing, you know?
00:53Yeah.
00:55Maybe some.
00:56Maybe some.
00:56When they weren't chanting MVP, right?
01:00What's that?
01:01When they weren't chanting MVP, they would say.
01:03Oh, well, yeah, of course.
01:05I mean, the arm was always sore.
01:06But I always made it happen out there, for sure.
01:09Hey, cool, man.
01:10Hey, so what was it like?
01:12I mean, you know, I know Idol's, you know, quite a bit removed from you.
01:15But what was that experience like going back?
01:17I know it was a different one in general just because of the way things are.
01:20It was cool, man.
01:22It was – I'm, like, the least technically savvy guy there is.
01:26So, like, they sent me this whole big box of cameras and lights and plugged this thing in here and this thing in here.
01:33And I, like – I couldn't figure it out.
01:35So, I just had to call in.
01:36I was like, y'all just tell me what button to hit, where, and then I'll sing.
01:41Yeah.
01:41So, we eventually made it work.
01:42But it was fun.
01:43I think they did it really cool with having everybody kind of pieced in and getting a call from Lionel Richie saying he wants to do We Are the World.
01:50That's pretty cool.
01:52So, yeah.
01:53Did you answer the phone, hello?
01:56I don't normally answer the phone on the first take.
01:58I think I'm about to –
01:58No, when Lionel Richie called, did you go, hello?
02:01Hello?
02:01Did you do the cheese ball line?
02:03I should have, right?
02:04I should have.
02:04Come on, man.
02:06Wait, will you want to jam out a little bit with us or what?
02:08Yeah, might as well.
02:09We're here, right?
02:11Yeah.
02:11You do your thing.
02:13Cool.
02:14We'll start it off with this is it.
02:15What you say?
02:16Let's do it.
02:17All right.
02:23We're up in the mountains, 1,000 feet high.
02:37There's a trail through the trees to a cliff where Carolina meets the sky.
02:44Oh, and there's a view that I just can't describe.
02:49Though I'm not there yet, there's a few more steps to make it way.
02:55Okay?
02:55You can open your eyes.
02:59This is it.
03:00This is now.
03:02This is what I've been talking about.
03:05Looking at me.
03:07Can't you see you remember?
03:11So take my hand and take me in.
03:14This is the moment we won't forget.
03:17We're on top of the world, we're together.
03:24If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss.
03:30This is it.
03:31Girl, I know that you've been waiting.
03:40You're talking to your friends.
03:44Wondering in.
03:45Wondering where.
03:47What and during when.
03:49Oh, I've been waiting to.
03:53Holding on to this ring.
03:56For the right word to say.
03:57For the right time and place for me.
04:00To get on one day.
04:05This is it.
04:06This is now.
04:08This is what I've been talking about.
04:11Looking at me.
04:12Can't you see you remember?
04:17So take my hand and take me in.
04:19This is the moment we won't forget.
04:23On top of the world, we'll be together.
04:29If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss.
04:34Yeah, oh, this is it.
04:42This is it.
04:43This is it.
04:48Now you all can help me out.
04:51Oh, 19 L.
04:52Oh, 19 L.
04:57But small.
05:00This is it.
05:02This is now.
05:03It's what I've been talking about.
05:06Looking at me.
05:07I can see forever.
05:10So take my hand and take it in.
05:15This is the moment we won't forget.
05:19On top of the world, we're together.
05:25Surrounded by our family and our friends.
05:30If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss.
05:40This is it.
05:47This is it.
05:54Yeah, Scooter.
05:56Attaboy.
05:57I'm sorry you had to look at me during that whole thing.
06:00You know, I'm used to seeing something much prettier
06:02when I sing that song.
06:04Hey, I don't doubt it, man.
06:05I'm sorry.
06:06You had to look at me during that whole thing.
06:08I was like, do I duck out of the way?
06:10Did I pull a picture of your wife on the internet?
06:11What do I do?
06:13That would have been something.
06:14Dude, I'll tell you who else I was singing to, man,
06:17that's up here with me right now.
06:19What's that?
06:19All the pop?
06:20I was talking to Tampa.
06:23Yeah.
06:23Can I turn?
06:24Yeah, I can.
06:26Dude.
06:27Oh, Tom Brady in the background.
06:30It's killing me, man.
06:31You got to update that.
06:32Oh.
06:33Dude, we just got a picture of him in a Buccaneers helmet.
06:40Oh, really?
06:40It looks strange.
06:42I don't want to see it, man.
06:43I don't want to see it.
06:45Well, you might get your wish with everything,
06:46the way things are going.
06:48But hopefully we'll have a season.
06:50No, they got to play.
06:52They got to play.
06:52I mean, folks are, we'll see.
06:54Even if they play with no fans, like half the fans, I don't care.
06:58I got to have some football, man.
07:00Would you, if you had to sing a national anthem in an empty stadium,
07:03would that be more, would that be scarier than singing with people,
07:06with people there because, like, the acoustics?
07:10It would be bouncing.
07:11Yeah, I didn't think about the acoustics until you said it.
07:13Yeah, they all, the beauty of sound checking when you're doing the
07:16national anthem at a stadium is you know that's the worst it's going to
07:20sound.
07:20So you're like, all right, if I can do it during this,
07:22whenever there's people in here, it'll be better.
07:24But, man, if you're done with just all that echo and you're live on TV,
07:29it's a tough song to sing, man.
07:31I know.
07:31It's amazing how easy the words are when you're in the stands,
07:34but then when you're doing it, it's like, what happens?
07:36And then when somebody messes it up, you're like, how could they?
07:38How could they do that?
07:40You're not American.
07:43I'm serious.
07:43Scotty, I always like to ask people what their favorite song to cover is.
07:49Oh, man.
07:54Probably for me, George Strait, I can do Check Yes or No.
07:59I've done that forever.
08:01It's probably one that goes back to when I was a kid learning how to play
08:03guitar.
08:04That one or Anymore by Travis Tritt's one.
08:08Do you do anything outside of country that you would cover?
08:11Oh, man.
08:13I don't know if I.
08:15I'm putting you on the spot.
08:16I know.
08:23On a dark desert highway.
08:27Cool wind in my hair.
08:29Won't smell like a leaf.
08:32Hotel, I mean, there's, I don't know the whole way through.
08:35How about Check Yes or No?
08:36You want to do that one?
08:38Cool about me.
08:39All right.
08:39People are saying it.
08:40Let's do it.
08:40The other ones I could probably at least fumble through.
08:42Like, I'll get to the end.
08:44It just might not be the prettiest.
08:46But, cool.
08:47Yeah.
08:48First time I met old George, we were at the Ryman Auditorium.
08:52And I was, like, still fresh off the show.
08:54A little baby-faced, 16, 17-year-old kid.
08:57And I get a tap on the shoulder and I turn around and say, hey, Scotty.
09:00I was, like, whoa.
09:02I was, like, how do you know my name, bro?
09:04It was pretty cool.
09:07So, yeah.
09:07Little George.
09:08Let's do it, man.
09:30Told me not to tell.
09:33Next day I chased her around the playground.
09:37Crossed the muddy bars and did it go around.
09:41Diddy Lou got caught passing me along.
09:45Oh, it seems to.
09:47I said, what do you want?
09:48Do you love me?
09:50Do you want me, my friend?
09:53Yes, you do.
09:56Now, we're all the only thing that we need to take a thing by hand.
10:02If you want to.
10:05I think this is how I know.
10:07So, check yes or no.
10:17Now, we're grown up and she's my wife.
10:21We're still like two kids with scars in our eyes.
10:25Ain't much change and I still change to me.
10:29Up and down the hall around the bed in our room.
10:33Last night I took a crowd in a wide-looking team.
10:37Twenty years together, she still gets to me.
10:41I can't believe it's been that long ago.
10:45We got started.
10:48Just a little girl.
10:49Do you love me?
10:51Do you want to be my friend?
10:55If you do.
10:57We'll be long deep.
10:59Pray to take a thing by the hand.
11:03If you want to.
11:06My friend is a sad one.
11:08Check yes or no.
11:12Check yes or no.
11:14Check yes or no.
11:43Check yes or no.
11:53Yes, sir.
11:55Yes, sir.
11:57Hey, you got the pup around?
11:58Is the pup around the house or he's downstairs or what?
12:01Moose.
12:03Moose, he's downstairs walking.
12:06Hey, Moose.
12:09Moose.
12:09We're about to see Moose.
12:15Moose, come.
12:19Hey, come.
12:20Oh, here he comes.
12:21Oh, here comes Moose.
12:23What you got, bud?
12:25Hey, Moose.
12:26What you got, bud?
12:28Say hey.
12:28This dick has cheese in it.
12:32He's never had this before, so he's pumped.
12:34This is good stuff right here.
12:35Hey, say hey to Tampa, bro.
12:37Say hey to Tampa.
12:38He's not a puppy.
12:40He's getting big.
12:41Yeah, he is getting big.
12:43He's like a year and a half almost.
12:47He's a good boy.
12:49Great boy.
12:49All right, man.
12:51Well, listen, I think you want to hear the single, baby.
12:54This thing is up the charts.
12:55It's ready to go in between.
12:57I'll tell you what, man.
12:58It's just another Scotty hit, I feel like.
13:02Yeah, man.
13:02Well, it's been cool.
13:04We're going for the record.
13:05You see, the longest to get up to the top, hopefully.
13:07Fingers crossed.
13:08But we'll see.
13:10That's perspective right there.
13:12Hey, as long as you, you know, it doesn't matter how long it takes or whatever.
13:16So, it's about the journey, right?
13:18What's that?
13:19It's about the journey, right?
13:20Yeah, it's all about the journey.
13:21You learn stuff, you know, over time.
13:23So, it's been good.
13:25You got to trust the process.
13:26Joel and me, you got to trust it.
13:28So, but yeah, sitting at, I think, number seven right now.
13:32So, that's pretty cool.
13:33So, appreciate y'all playing for the good folks in Tampa.
13:37Yeah, number 20.
13:38Let's do it.
13:54Well, I'm a little bit of ball cat, little bit of girl, snap, button-down shirt.
14:03Little bit of big city concrete, a lot more small town.
14:08I'm the in-between.
14:10I can see your pretty eyes reading me like a map.
14:15Wondering who I am and where I'm at.
14:20I'm in between.
14:21Friday night wild, ain't quiet, Sunday morning, let's wait, done after one, ain't to keep on pouring, hanging too high, ain't too low, just holding down the middle, today as I go, I ain't all holy, why, oh and I ain't all Jim B's,
14:50I'm somewhere in between, I can be a steel-toed work boot, 40-gallar blue-collar mud on my jeans, then they can pack a bag, it's a big kickback, I'm a white sand beach,
15:14I'm a far cry, bein' one night stand, but I ain't ready for a long time, I'm in between, Friday night wild, ain't quiet, Sunday morning, let's wait, done after one,
15:40and keep on pouring, ain't too high, ain't too low, just holding down the middle, steady as I go, I ain't all holy water, God ain't all Jim B's,
15:55I'm somewhere in between, I can see your pretty eyes, greetin' me like a map, wonderin' who I am, where I'm at, I'm in between.
16:23I'm somewhere in between, Friday night wild, ain't quiet, Sunday morning, let's wait, done after one, and keep on pouring, ain't too high, ain't too low, just holding down the middle,
16:44as steady as I go, I ain't all holy water, and I ain't all Jim B's,

17:16and get to play a live show, and maybe watch the Goat play football, so, we'll see ya.
17:20Well, tell you what, if they're in town, when you're here, we'll go watch a game.
17:26Come on, man, I'm here.
17:27And we'll go watch a game, I won't make you wear a Bucs jersey, but, I mean.
17:32Yeah, I'll tell you what, man, we'll have to do a bet.
17:34We'll have to be a post.
17:36We'll have to do a bet, and then you have to wear it if I win.
17:39Okay, okay, I'll be down with that, I'm always down with a good bet.
17:42I'm looking out here, we're at our beach place, and last time I was here in bed on a football game,
17:47it was Brady versus Manning in the Broncos AFC Championship game,
17:51and it was like late December, like 20 degrees outside, and whoever lost,
17:56I bet on Brady, obviously, had to go jump in the ocean, and Brady lost the game,
18:02and it was a miserable night.
18:04Yeah, so nice.
18:06All right, cool, man, well, you guys stay safe.
18:08Thank you for doing this, brother, we appreciate you.
18:10We'll talk to you later, dude.
18:12All right, man, good to see you, y'all be good.
18:14Will do.
