Good morning, David.

How are we doing?

It was absolutely surreal.

It still hasn't hit me yet.

It doesn't feel like anything has changed, really.

It's just like people have just seen more of my videos.

That's what it really feels like.

But I don't think I realised how big the show actually was.

because I was explaining that at a gig yesterday.

I was like, oh yeah, for those who don't know, and the whole place just erupted.

I was like, oh my God.

I feel like it was a very big risk, especially with the fact that it's not originally a country song because there's a lot of controversy about it.

across social media but it turned to a country song when luke comes had his rendition of it and then i kind of took a rendition of it myself so yeah it was a big big big risk like i mentioned that i didn't feel like it was country enough yeah so that's why i left it behind but it seemed to work the judges loved us and

Yeah, it's wow.

Yeah, like it was explained to a few people before and they were like, oh, so like, why did you bring him with you?

It's...

When I was in the middle of packing up, it kind of fell out of one of the drawers and just landed on the floor.

And I was like, oh, there he is, because I haven't seen it in months.

So I took it as a sign to bring him with me and that he was watching.

So it was the show and telling me that he was there with me.
