Top Episodes Quotes
- βThere is a lot to think about. Yeah. And two, hosting and then running back and getting your clothes changed and get all the your ear monitors in and make sure you're all warmed up, all that kind of stuff. And get out of your hosting mode into your performing mode, get that attitude right and then walk on stage well.β by Luke Bryan
- βLetting them go, saying, I choose you over you. That's the hardest part about the whole show. And now just being there to console and to say, but you did such a good job. It's nothing you did, you know, that's. That's just something they preferred somebody else. It's going to be. That's going to be the hardest part.β by Luke Bryan
