1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: American Idol is on tonight and it's on ABC streams

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: next day on Hulu. And tonight you're going to see

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: some great auditions, but one specifically Jake Thistle. Hey, Jake, Hey,

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: how you doing.

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing great and we're excited for people to see

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: your audition. Talk about knowing at such a young age

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: music was for.

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: You for sure. Yeah, you know, when I was three

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: years old, my parents let me stay up to watch

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. So it's timely we're talking about it now,

12
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: but they thought I might get into sports. Not necessarily

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: the case, but Tom Petty and The Heartbreak has played

14
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: the halftime show, and for whatever reason, it just completely

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: mesmerized me. And so from that age, it was just

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: that was something I knew I've really gravitated toward. And

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: so when I was nine, I picked up guitar. You know,

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: I primarily you know, learned off YouTube and things like that,

19
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: and then I started learning sharing the stage with people,

20
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: and it just really snowball from there.

21
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: What do you think people will take away from your

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: story and your audition tonight?

23
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's just there's such a shared passion and

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,639
Speaker 2: such a shared sort of you know, humanity within all

25
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: of us. That and just getting to see that passion

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: up close, you know, from other people, really resonated a

27
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: lot with me. So I'm really hoping that comes through

28
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: on the screen. You know, I've watched every week so far,

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: so I know for a fact it's coming through for

30
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: a lot of my friends, and so I'm hoping. I'm

31
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: hoping people see that from me as well.

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,000
