 -Well, understand, understand: Uh, I have a recessive¹ dance gene², quite frank, because of my complexion³. I am… I'd like to say, I’m a white boy from Oakland, but I am from Oakland you see. So we can… I believe in you all, we can do it. 

-Do it.   

-So, you and I were talking during the break about Idol⁴ and we were both very sad to see Hailey go. 

-Now, I had dodged⁵ the virus for many many years. I watched some of them when you were on, just to see you. 

-Thank you. 

-Just to see. Because quite frankly⁶, four judges were not quite enough, they could have eight judges.

-Yeah. 

-You know. So you could all say boy you did it, girl you really rocked it, you really did it. But this year, this year, I, I got hooked on sitting there while I watching really. And I must say I never voted until, hum, last week. I voted for the first time. 

-For Hailey.

-I voted for Hailey. 

-Yeah. She was amazing.

-I voted twice. Now not to take anything from the other talented kids. Yeah, but I was, I was walking around and I didn't even realize what I was doing and Rita said what you keep whistling and humming? I said, hum, I am humming Rhiannon because of her rendition of Rhiannon that she sang that night. 

-Yeah, she’s a… and I… It was a big. It was tough competition this year and like you said not to take anything away from Scotty or Laurent coz they are great but I just said Hailey was so, and I knew she needed the help. So…

-Hum, not to take anything away from them, but I do hate them, because, hum, I’m joking, I don't hate them. I just lost. That’s all. I just lost. But I voted twice and I thought, well that will put her a little bit top. I did that thing where you dialing the thing and Idol 866 whatever 688 whatever and I did it wrong the first time. I got nothing. And they did it right the second time and I’d say I will go back did it again. I didn't even press re-dial which I could do of course. Once I heard that guy's voice, I say that’s it. She will be back.
