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.
04:58This is it.
05:02This is now.
05:04This is what I've been talking about.
05:06Looking at me.
05:08I can see forever.
05:10So take my hand and take it in.
05:16This is the moment we won't forget.
05:19On top of the world, we'll be 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.
06:57I 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 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.
10:3820 years together she still gets to meet me.
10:41I can't believe it's been that long and cold.
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 me 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.
11:42Check 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.
12:02Moose.
12:03Moose, he's downstairs walking.
12:06Hey, Moose.
12:09Moose.
12:09We're about to see.
12:13I don't know.
12:13We're about to see Moose.
12:15Hey.
12:18Moose, 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.
12:30This 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, so.
12:47He's a good boy.
12:49Great boy.
12:50All right, man.
12:51Well, listen.
12:52I 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.
13:04You can 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.
13:12As 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, it's 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.
13:39Let's do it.
13:39Let's do it.
13:40Well, I'm a little bit of bald cat, little bit of girl, snap, button-down shirt.
14:01Little bit of big city concrete, a lot more smaller town.
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.
14:25Friday night while it ain't quiet, Sunday morning.
14:28I'm somewhere in between.
14:53I can be a steel-toed word of boot
15:02Or you have a blue-collar mud on my jeans
15:06Then we can pack a bag
15:10It's a big kickback
15:12On white sand beach
15:14I'm a far cry
15:17Be in one night stand
15:20But I ain't ready for a rain on my jeans
15:24I'm in between
15:27Friday night while it ain't quiet, Sunday morning
15:34But when I eat
15:35Done after one and keep on pouring
15:41It ain't too high
15:43Ain't too low
15:44Ain't too low
15:45Just holdin' down here
15:47Steady as I go
15:48I ain't all holy water
15:50God ain't all holy water
15:52God ain't all too deep
15:55I'm somewhere
15:57Heading somewhere
16:01Heading somewhere
16:04Heading somewhere
16:05Heading a train
16:06I can see your pretty eyes
16:15Greeting me like a map
16:17Wondering who I am
16:19And where I'm at
16:21I'm in between
16:24Friday night while it ain't quiet, Sunday morning
16:30But when I eat
16:32Done after one and keep on pouring
16:38It ain't too high
16:40It ain't too low
16:42Just holdin' down here
16:44Steady as I go
16:46I ain't all holy water
16:48And I ain't all too deep
16:51Yes, sir!
16:59Yes!
17:01Well, brother, we appreciate you doing this, man
17:04And hopefully you and the wife are staying safe
17:07And Moose is protecting you
17:08Yeah, he's a good guard dog
17:11So, yeah, we're doing all right, man
17:12Hope the same for y'all
17:13And hope to get down your way soon
17:16And get to play a live show
17:17And maybe watch the go play football
17:19So, we'll see that
17:21Tell you what
17:22If they're in town
17:23When you're here
17:24We'll go watch a game
17:25Come on, man
17:27I'm here
17:27We'll go watch a game
17:28I won't make you wear a Bucs jersey
17:30But
17:31I mean
17:32I'll tell you what, man
17:33We'll have to do a bet
17:34We'll have to do a bet
17:37And then you have to wear it
17:38If I win
17:39Okay, okay
17:40I'll be down with that
17:41I'm always down with a good bet
17:42I'm looking out here
17:43At the
17:43We're at our beach place
17:45And last time I was here
17:46And bet on a football game
17:47It was Brady versus Manning
17:48In the Broncos AFC Championship game
17:51And it was like
17:52Late December
17:53Like 20 degrees outside
17:55And whoever lost
17:56I bet on Brady
17:57Obviously
17:57Had to go jump in the ocean
17:58And
17:59Brady lost the game
18:02And it was
18:02A miserable night
18:03Yeah
18:04All right, cool, man
18:07You guys stay safe
18:08Thank you for doing this, brother
18:09We appreciate you
