Dad, you can do it.
I know you can.
The reason I haven't had a break yet I think mainly is,
I don't think the timing was right.
You know, plus raising my kids, man. I mean, that's...
I'm a dad, so, you know, that's what I do now.
We can do it, yes, sir.
All right, the judges are ready for you.
Right this way, please.
All right, thanks.
I love you.
Love you.
I can't tell you how important today is.

What's your name?
I'm Tate Stevens.
Um, what kinda music do you like to sing?
Uh, usually rap, uh...
Just... just sayin'.
Are you gonna rap for us today?
No.
I love that.
You're funny.
That was good.
Ahh. Um... Where are you from?
I'm from belton, Missouri.
Everybody showed up, the whole town.
How about that?
And what would you do with the $5 million?
Honestly, really?
I mean, honestly, I'ma have big-ass party.
Yes, sir!
And... and everybody's invited.
That's my kind of man.
That's my kinda man.
I mean, but really, I mean, that is true.
I would do that.
But you should probably ask my wife what she would do with the
5 million, 'cause it would go right to her.
I mean... So, Tate, so what do you do when you're not singing?
Because you clearly support your family.
Yes, sir.
I work for the city of belton, where I grew up.
I, uh, work for the street department.
It's not that fancy, guys, really.
Uh, you know, I do asphalt and concrete work and stuff like
that, so... Okay, what are you singing for us today?
Anything goes by Randy houser.
All right.
Do your thing.
Thank you.
Good luck to you.
We love you, Tate!
Thanks, mom.

That's my real name.
Why were you called panda?
My mom... well, she was kinda, you know, in jail when she had
me, and her cell mate was a white lady, and she was black,
and so they just kinda came up with the name.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
