It's nice to meet you.

So I understand-- so Golcanda, that's where you're from.

Yes.

So it's a very small town, 700 people.

And this is your first time you've ever

been on an airplane.

Yes.

How was that?

It was very good, but driving with the driver letting

me go in the back of the limo?

That was awesome.

Oh, that was more fun?

Yeah.

But then I tried some sparkling water and eh,

it wasn't so good, but--

You'd never had sparkling water before?

No.

What don't you like about it?

It's just water, but sparkly.

Well, it just kind of tastes kind of funny.

And sparkly.

Yeah.

Yeah, you like the plain, flat water.

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

And then the driver's name was Ernie,

and so that's the exact same name as my grandpa.

Oh really?

What a coincidence.

We didn't even plan that.

It was all meant to be.

So do you like LA?

Yeah, but I'm a country by.

And out in the old country, all we do is bale straws of hay,

and next thing you know, you're sitting

under a tree taking a nap with your hat down

and a weed in your mouth.

[LAUGHING]

[APPLAUSE]

I thought that was just a cartoon.

That's really what happens?

You just sit on a bale of hay with a weed in your mouth?

Just like this.

Uh-huh.

All right.

So you're a country boy.

So when did you start yodeling?

The first song I tried to sing was Long Gone Lonesome Blues.

Who sings that?

Hank Williams, Sr.

And that's your favorite singer?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

And your grandfather yodels, right?

Mm-hmm.

And is he a good yodeler as well?

No.

Sorry about that, Grandpa.

We'll edit that out, OK?

Nobody will ever see that.

So, and you sing--

I saw you singing at Walmart.

Do you always sing at Walmart?

Yeah.

How come?

Well, because that's the only store we've got.

[LAUGHTER]

And my dream is to sing at the Grand Ole Opry.

At the Grand Ole Opry?

Yeah.

That's a big dream, because it takes

years and years to get there.

Mm-hmm.

But Walmart?

How many times have you performed in Walmart?

Like, 50,000 times.

50,000?

That's just about every day of your life, probably.

Yeah.

OK, so you want to be a famous country singer, right?

Yes.

And what will happen?

Let's say that dream come true, then what?

Well, I'm going to save up all that money,

and I'm going to go to college.

And then I'm going to move to Florida,

and I'm going to work my way up in a motor home.

All right.

Well, that's--

[APPLAUSE]

Fair.

You've got it all figured out, don't you?

That's fantastic.

All right, so you're going to perform for us right now,

right?

Yes.

I can't wait.

All right.

[MUSIC - HANK WILLIAMS, "LOVESICK BLUES"]

(SINGING) I got a feeling called the blues,

oh Lord, since my baby said goodbye.

Lord, I don't know what I'll do.

All I do is sit and sigh, oh Lord.

That last long day she said goodbye, well Lord,

I thought I would cry.

She'll do me, she'll do you, she's got that kind of loving.

Lord I love to hear when she calls me sweet daddy.

Such a beautiful dream.

I hate to think it's all over.

I've lost my heart it seems.

I've grown so used to you somehow.

Lord, I'm nobody's sugar daddy now.

And I'm lonesome.

I've got the lovesick blues.

[APPLAUSE]

That was so good.

That was so good.

All right.

So remember how you said you wanted

to sing at the Grand Ole Opry, and I said

that takes a long time, right?

Yes.

Well, you know, we have a lot of friends.

We have a lot of connections.

So I called my friends at the Grand Ole Opry,

and they want you to perform there Saturday.

Oh my god!

Saturday.

All right?

All right.

[APPLAUSE]

Now.

And there's one more place that you're going to perform,

and that's this week.

So Saturday Grand Ole Opry, and then you're

going to go to your local Walmart

in Harrisburg, Illinois.

They're going to go put on a huge concert for you.

It's going to be live on Walmart's Facebook page.

And since you want to go to college, our friends in Walmart

want to help you.

And they're going to give you a scholarship for $15,000.

Oh my--

[APPLAUSE]

You're going to college.

And you're going to sing at the Grand Ole Opry.

Hi.

I'm Andy.

Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel,

so you can see more awesome videos, like videos

of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,

like ball peen hammer.

And also some videos of Ellen and other celebrities,

if you're into that sort of thing.

Ha!

[BLEEP]

God!
