Hey, guys. What's up? Hey. How are you? Gosh, this is crazy. I'm good. How are y'all? Oh, my gosh. You look like my child. Here, look at this. Hold on. So, I took this picture of Bo the other day. I literally, like... Wow. They could be brothers. All right. Well, who are you? I'm Lucas Leon. I'm 17 years old. I'm from Gallatin, Tennessee. Lucas Leon. I love that name. What a star name. Yeah. Is that the real name? Yes, sir. It's my real name. All right. But is it Leon or is it Leon? It's just Leon. I love it. The country version. What do you do up there in Gallatin? Play a lot of music, write a lot of songs, do some fishing. What they biting on out there these days? Baby brush hog, Texas rig. Now he sounds like my son. He fishes all day, every day. All right. Well, what are you going to sing today? I'm going to sing an original called Falling Love Someday. All righty. We pray you do. Oh, he will. Oh, the wonder, our night lost, love waits down the road. Oh, I just wonder what's the cost, if you'd ever know. Because I'm a young gun in North Forum, rolling down the coast. I'm coming down Route 66, a city with her ghost. So roll me to Arizona, Texas or Mexico. Send me by a desert fire, let it be my home. I ain't one for love, and I ain't quick to break. But I swear to God, I fell in love today. Oh, I swear to God, we fell in love today. We're all standing. Thank you very much. Thanks. Oh, yeah. Bring on out the bat, son. It's like your baby face, and you're adorable, but there's like this odd, awesome maturity. I feel like you could go pretty far in this competition. Thank you. Pure, honest, and very talented. Thank you. Yeah, I was just checking on notable people from Gallatin, Tennessee. Tell us, is he on that list? Well, Zach Duke, he's a former MLB pitcher. He's actually a buddy of mine. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's John Rogan, the second tallest verified human being ever documented. He was eight feet, nine inches tall. I did know that. Not really seeing any notable singers. Maybe old Lucas Leon. Maybe. He's got a spot here on the Wikipedia. I'm just having fun with you. Really great stuff you're doing at the age of 17. Tell me about it. And you have it all. So thank you for bringing your butt down here to us. Oh, it's my pleasure. Lionel. Yes. Thank you. Kerry. Let me think about it. Oh, come on. And yeah, it's a big old yes from me. Oh, wow. Thank you.
