So, he was like, \u2018Yeah, this is for you coming and singing that one song.\u2019 \u2026 I guess he had called my manager the following week, or his manager or something, [and asked] \u2018What does Luke like?\u2019 And he\u2019s like \u2018Oh, he likes cars\u2026he has a Bronco and he likes Fords and stuff.\u2019 And he\u2019s like, \u2018Well, I\u2019m gonna order him a Bronco Raptor.\u2019 Well, I guess they were on hold or something, so it took like a year to get it in.
