Thank you so much, Ransom!
(inaudible chatter and laughter)
Thank you for coming.
(conversation continues) Hey guys.
How are you, Gwen?
Thank you very much! You guys were amazing! I don’t think you’ve met Jordan before. Glad to meet you. Thank you for having us. So nice to meet you. I’m so grateful to all of you guys. Thank you. I know this was a last minute service. We liked it. When they told me what it was, I was ready. It wasn’t difficult. It was incredible. I think that inspired us. God, having both of you here made this whole night legendary. I can’t believe this really happened. I say we’ll do it again.
I would agree.
I would really like this. Look, I know it’s time for you all to get back to Nashville, but… We actually changed our flight. We found a really cool bar downtown called Gracie’s. That’s where we’re going to go. See you at Gracie’s.
Thanks again, Gwen.
Gwen, appreciate it. Thank you all very much. Thank you.
To Gracie!
(all) To Gracie!
