"Yeah." "...Even though that was not, in fact, a country song." "It's one of my favorite songs." "If it had been a changed-up rendition," "It might have been a little more effective for me." "But clearly i don't matter," "Because i am the only person that didn't turn." "So i will let these three fight over you." "So, uh, good luck, fellas." "And ladies." "Lady." "No ladies." "Oh, it's lady -- well, there are two ladies over there." "You're right." "Man boobs does not qualify me as a lady." "[ laughter ]" "Hi, peyton." "Hi."
