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.
04:56But 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.
05:26Surrounded 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.
07:00If you had to sing a national anthem in an empty stadium,
07:03would that be more, would that be scarier than singing with people there
07:07because, 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 national
07:17anthem at a stadium is you know that's the worst it's going to sound.
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 guitar.
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.
08:26Cool 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, let'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.
08:45But, cool.
08:47Yeah.
08:48First time I met old George, we were at the Ryman Auditorium.
08:51And 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, Scottie.
09:01I was like, whoa.
09:02I was like, how do you know my name, bro?
09:04Right.
09:04It was pretty cool.
09:07So, yeah.
09:07Little George.
09:08Let's do it, man.
09:09It's starting way back in third grade.
09:21I used to sit beside him in a little haze.
09:24Pink dress, matching bow in her ponytail.
09:28Chased me on the school bus, told me not to tell.
09:33Next day I chased her around the playground.
09:35Crossed the lovely barbers and really go around.
09:41Jimmy Lou got caught passing me on.
09:45Oh, it seems so.
09:47I said, what do you want?
09:48Do you love me?
09:50Do you want me, my friend?
09:54Yes, you do.
09:56And will the long feet be free to take me by the hand if you want to?
10:04I think this is how I'm going to check, yes or no.
10:17Now I'm grown up and she's my wife.
10:21I still like two kids with scars in our eyes.
10:25Ain't much change and I still change to me.
10:28Up and down the hall around the bed in our room.
10:33Last night I took a crowd in a wide-looking team.
10:38Twenty 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?
10:53Do you want me, my friend?
11:23If you do, you're building on me.
11:28Maybe take me by the hand.
11:31If you want to, I think this is how I'm going to check, yes or no.
11:40Check, yes or no.
11:44Check, yes or no.
