Thanks for coming out tonight.
How was the show? You like
it, you had a good time?
Good.
Oh wait, hey, hey, hey, hey,
back up, back up, back up.
Hey, how you doing?
Olivia, that's
such a pretty name.
- Thank you.
- Could we take a picture,
a little selfie there?
All right, get in here.
How big can you smile?
Yeah, there you go.
Hey, that's pretty,
thank you so much.
Hey, thanks for coming
out, man, I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Hey, everybody get in here,

One, two, three.
- [Group] Noah Bryan!

- Good, I'm feeling good.
- That was the
best one yet, Noah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Keep it up, people
are noticing, man.
- They love me.
They love me.
- Now you back that
up a little bit.
Let's not get the cart
before the horse here, right?
- Have a beer.
- What you supposed to
mean by that, Larry?
What's that mean?
- Well, it means you
gotta stay humble.
- I'm humble, man, come on.
- Don't forget, pride always
comes before the fall.
I've seen it before, know what
I'm talking about, alight?
- You ain't getting religious
on me, are you Larry?
- Just talking the truth, kid.
- Oh, I think we
should celebrate.
- Now I think you need
to slow that down.
We got a whole lot
more touring to go.
- You can suit yourself.
- Just looking out for you.
- I got this, man.
(gentle music)
- I need to get some gas, boss.
- Can you grab me something
to drink in there, please?
Thank you.
- Non-alcoholic.
How you doing, kid?
- What's that?
- Doing all right,
you feeling good?
- Yeah, yeah I feel real
good, yeah, thank you.
- How are your parents doing?
- My parents?
Uh, they're good as far as I
know, still working the farm.
I'd love to be able to
hire 'em a couple hands
if I could, you know?
- Now that's a good
son right there.
- Yeah, well
according to my daddy,
a good son would have stayed
on the farm to help out.
- You got a gift kid, truly.
A whole lot of people
would give anything
to be able to sing and play
the way you do, God-given.
- I wish you'd
tell my daddy that.
(gentle music)
- Lord, we thank
you for this day.
Thanks for blessing our food.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
- Amen.
Just listen to one of his songs.
It'd mean the world
to him and to me.
- I'm not gonna change my mind.
- God knows he's just like you.

- You need to read
this, Noah James Bryan.
- Come on, Larry, this ain't
the first time someone's
claimed I was their baby daddy.
- It's the first time
a lawyer has said it
and they want you to
take a paternity test.

- I don't even know
Charlene Meyers, man.
Look at this, JJ short

that's my daddy's name, okay?
They could have been a little
less obvious than that.
That's a fake, brother.

(audience applauding)
Thank you.
Love you, Biloxi.
- Great job, guys.
We take off 07:00 tomorrow.
- Good job, man.
- Hey, come here Noah,
I wanna talk to you.
- What?
- Have a seat.
- What?
- Look, I spoke to
the attorney today.
He wants you to take a
paternity test right away.
If the kid's not
yours, you can move on.
- It's not.
- Well but if it is, you
need to deal with it, man.
- I'm not doing it.
- [Larry] What do you mean you're not doing it?
- I'm not doing it.
- [Larry] You need to take care
of this before it gets any bigger.
- I didn't see your
name on the pap-
- Shh.
Quiet down, we don't have
to let the whole room
know about this right now.
- It's not mine.
- Noah, a man can only run
from himself for so long.
- What does that even mean?
- It means no matter where
you go, there you are.
- Well, that sounds like
another country song.
I think I'll write it.
- Paternity test.
- Ain't doing it.
- [Larry] That wasn't so bad.
- That's easy for you to say,
that lady just about tickled
my tonsils with that swab.
- Hey, we leave in an hour, man.
- Going to Little Rock?
- Little Rock.
- Alright.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
- Look, Noah,
I know that your
relationship with your father
isn't the best right now,
and you may even be
afraid to be a dad,
it's a huge responsibility,
but worth every minute.
(gentle music)
- I do remember her.
- What's that?
- Charlie, JJ's mom.
She was different than
the rest, you know, she,
she was the kind you
write a song about.
- What happened?
- I don't know.
I mean, she, she was
always backstage,
that little honky talk
remember we used to play at
outside Fayetteville?
I don't know, one day she
just, she never came back.
I never heard from her again.
- Well, either way,
God has a plan.
(gentle music)
- I hope you're right, Larry.
- [Social Worker] You
sure you wanna do this?
- He's a great kid.
JJ, you're gonna come
stay with me for a while.
Would you like that?
- I miss my mom.
- I know, sweetie.
Thanks, bye.
- It's just until we
can establish paternity
unless other family surfaces.
- I know.
- Okay.
- All right, you ready?
(gentle music)
- Well, here we go.
You want me to open it?
- No, no, I can do it.
I need a drink first.
- No, no, no, no,
have a seat, Noah,
that's not a good idea.
- I can't do it, you do it.
(tense music)
Come on, what is it?
- Congratulations.
- Yes, I told you I wasn't
that kid's daddy, I told you.
You mean congratulations I'm
not the kid's father, right?
- I'm sorry you feel that way.
- It's over, man, it's over.
This ruins, it's over,
my career's over,
you understand that,
right, this is done?
- No, no, no, no.
This could be a good thing.
- For who?
- Both of you.
- I don't know how
to be a daddy, Larry.
I mean, I can ruin his life.
- It's either you
or foster care.
- I need a drink, man.
- Have a seat, brother.
Look, I don't blame
you, this is tough,
but getting blind
drunk ain't the answer.
- You got a better idea?
(gunfire blasting)
- Boy, where'd you learn
to shoot like that?
- My daddy taught me.
'Bout the only thing
we could agree on,
well that and fishing.
- Feeling better?
- No, not really.
What do we do now?
- Well, I reckon it's
time you met your son.
Put some of the
tour dates on hold
to give us time to
figure this out.
- Hi, Noah.
This is Leann Harris from the
Child Protection Services.
We wanna discuss
your meeting with JJ.
We normally do the first
meeting at the facility,
but since it's still
pretty new to him,
we just wanna keep him as
comfortable as possible.
So we would like to have
the meeting at the house.
(gentle music)
- Hey, buddy, I'm, I'm,
hey JJ, I'm your, I'm your dad.
Come on, it's not that,
it's gonna be all right,
it's not that big of a deal,
you just tell him who you
are and he says who he is
and hey, hey, nice
to meet you, JJ.
There it is, see
that's it, you're fine.
(gentle music)
- You must be Noah.
Hi, I'm Leann.
- Oh, hey, it's, it's
nice to meet you.
- I saw you standing at the
door for the past few minutes.
- Oh, sorry, I was,
I was just trying
to, I don't know-
- Don't worry, it
happens to most.
- Okay, that's good, good.
- Are you ready to meet him?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Come on in.
- [Noah] All right, thank you.
- You're welcome.
You want something to
drink, water, coffee, tea?
- No, no, I'm okay,
thank you though.
- Alright.
Yeah, JJ's quite the artist.
- Yeah that's,
that's really good.
- Yeah.
He's in his room,
I can go get him.
- Well, I got, I
got this for JJ.
- Why don't you
give that to him?
Don't worry, you'll be fine.
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
(phone beeping)
- I hope so, Larry, I hope so.
- JJ, this is the person
I was telling you about.
Can you say hi to Mr. Bryan?
- Hi, Mr. Bryan.
- Hey there, JJ.
How you doing?
- Good.
- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Well, I got you something.
- What do you say?
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you need help?
- Yeah.
- There you go.
- [Leann] What is it?
- LEGOS, love LEGOS.
- Oh good, good, I'm glad.
- [Leann] Good choice.
- Well, I wish I
could take credit,
the lady at the
store recommended it.
- Come on, let's play.
- Oh, you're busy now.
- Okay, well, I guess
we're gonna play LEGOS.
- Yep.
(upbeat music)
- [Larry] Well, how'd it go?
- It was good, it was good.
We're supposed to have
another meeting tomorrow.
I'm scared, Larry.
- Being a parent can
be very intimidating.
- How'd you do it?
- Well, I didn't
do it by myself.
My wife, God bless her.
She was the anchor.
- I don't have a wife, Larry.
- No, but you got your parents
and a whole lot of people
that care about you.
- [Leann] So when did you
first start playing music?
- First picked up a guitar
when I was like five.
- Wow, that's impressive.
- Yeah.
I found my dad's old guitar
hidden away in the
back of the barn.
- Hidden?
- Yeah, I guess he
used to play, but he,
you know, he didn't
really want that for me.
- Oh.
- Just kind of wanted me
to stay and work the farm.
- Well, he must be
very proud of you now.
- Not really.
- What about your mom?
- Now my mama, she's
my biggest fan.
- I bet she is.
So any siblings?
- Uh...
Yeah, I don't usually
talk about it.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, yeah, of course.
- I'm hungry, when
is my food coming?
- Well, hey, I got an idea.
I'm just throwing it out there,
what if we just skip
breakfast altogether
and we go get us some ice cream?
- What flavor?
- What's your favorite flavor?
- Chocolate.
- That's my favorite flavor.
- Okay, well, let's have
some breakfast first,
and then I know the perfect
place to take you guys.
- Here you go, young man.
- Oh, there it is.
- Thank you.
- And I'll have yours right up.
- All right, you just,
you solved it for us.
I was hoping for ice
cream though, man.

that I might not be
able to handle it,
but I want him to be with me.
I mean, these last few days
have been exactly what I need.
- What you need?
- No, no, that's not-
- This is a little boy's life
who up until a few weeks ago,
had a loving mother.
- That's not what I mean.
I want to be his dad.
I really think I'm ready.
- I would love nothing more
than for you to be ready,
but this precious little
boy, he needs his father.
If you do this, there's
no turning back.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
He just, he makes me want
to be a better person.
- Well, who's gonna watch
him when you're on stage
or whatever it is
you're out there doing?

- Well, what about your parents?
- Uh...
That's tricky.
(gentle music)
(Noah sighs)
- [Sara] Well hi, honey.
How are you?
- Hey, mom.
There's something
I gotta tell you.
- [Larry] So how'd it go?
- Ask me how I'm doing, Larry.

man, I'm great.

the breakfast special, please.

- [Larry] So, what's up?
- JJ's gonna come live with me.
- Really?
- Yeah, man.
- Oh Noah, that's great, man.
- I know, I'm excited.
- And you thought
your career was over?
How about that?
- Well, I hope I made
the right decision.
Don't make me second
guess it now, come on.
- You made the right decision.
I got some good news, too.
- Yeah, how good?
- You're opening for Colt Young.
- Wait what?
Do you know how
big this is for us?
Do you know?
Whoo!
Sorry.
I'm going on tour
with Colt Young
and I apologize to everyone,
but if you want to come, let
me know, I'll get you in.
Wait so when do we go?
- Two weeks.
- Two weeks, I knew
this was gonna happen.
I knew it, I could feel it, man.
Hey, can we get two beers?
We celebrating.
- Now I have to be
very blunt here now.
You're gonna have
to avoid drinking
for the duration of the tour,
top to bottom, all right?
- What are you talking
about, man? Come on.
- Look man,
Colt Young doesn't want
anyone drinking on his tour.
Besides, you're a father now.

- All right, we're all packed.

Oh, that's a cool
bear, what's his name?

my mommy's name.
- Oh, well that's
a beautiful name.
- All right, you ready to go?
It's okay, honey.
You'll be a good boy
and don't forget
those prayers, okay?
- But I wanna stay with you.
- And I would love that.
But you get to live
with Noah, now.
Okay, he's your daddy?

Hey, why don't you take
Charlie back there?

- Good job, buddy.

- Can I have a grilled cheese?
- Oh why yes you can.
- Baby, I got to
finish my chores.
- Okay.
- Dash, come on.
- [Sara] Let's get on
that grilled cheese, you.
- [Noah] You think it's done?
- Yeah.
- Alright, let's give it a shot.
God, that's hot.
Alright, let's go. Why
don't you go sit over there?
Alright, go sit
over there for me.
- Okay.
- There you go.
- Jesus, thank
you for this food.
- Oh.
- Amen.
- Amen.
(lighthearted music)
What's wrong?
- It tastes yucky.
- Yucky?
It's not that bad.
- It's not how Miss
LeeAnn makes it.
- I'm sorry, buddy,
Miss LeeAnn ain't here.
- You're not supposed to
talk with your mouth full.
- Who told you that?
- Miss LeeAnn.
- Miss LeeAnn, huh?
You ain't gonna eat it, are you?
- No.
- I don't blame you.
- Oh, bless your heart.
Wanna go make a
proper grilled cheese?
- Yeah.
- You gonna help me?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah, good.
- Proper, what's that
supposed to mean?
- You know exactly
what it means.
- You, you first,
it's... (phone ringing)
- It's pretty hot, isn't it?
- Hey there.
- [Larry] I just
got off the phone.
- Hold on, I can't hear you.
Wait.
- And then.
- All right, go ahead.
- [Larry] I just
got off the phone
with Colt Young's manager.
- Yeah?
- [Larry] He's gonna be in Branson
at a studio recording tomorrow.
- Okay.
- [Larry] He wants us to stop by for a meeting.
- No yeah, I'll be there.
- [Larry] It's
only a couple hours
from your mama's place.
I'll send you the address.
3:00 PM I'll meet you there.
- Uh...
Yeah, I'm gonna be there.
Okay, I'm gonna call you
on the way, all right.
Hey, mama, I uh-
- Yeah, I'll watch him.
- How'd you hear that?
- Mom's hear everything.
- Can I borrow your car?
- Yeah.
- Thanks mama.
- Now go help your dad.
- No, I got-
- Hey, right now.
- Yes, ma'am.
(cows mooing)
(gentle dark music)
- [Jeremiah] Good Lord.
Damn.
(gentle dark music)
- [Noah] Need help?
- Uh, yeah, give me a 5/8ths.
- 5/8ths.
- [Jeremiah] Appreciate it.
- Yeah, yeah.
How you been?
- Well the good Lord sees
fit in keeping me breathing
so I reckon I'm doing all right.
- Could be worse, I guess.
- [Jeremiah] Yep.
- What's wrong
with it this time?
- Spark plugs.
- [Noah] Anything else?
- I don't know yet.
- Okay, then.
- Okay, then.
(metal clanking)
(gentle music)
(thunder clapping)
- Hey, what's going on, buddy?
- I'm scared.
- It's just thunder,
it's all right.
- I'm scared, can
I sleep with you?
- Uh, yeah, yeah
of course, buddy.
I'll keep you safe.
- I love you, daddy.
- I love you too, buddy.
(gentle music)
(hopeful music)
- I gotta go number two.
- What?
- I gotta go poop.
- Are you done yet?
Oh, what in world
did you eat, buddy?
- Lots of things.
- I know, it's just
a figure of speech.
- What's a figure of speech?
- Mama!
Mom!
All right so after you
get the bread, then what?
- You butter it.
- Okay.
Is it a lot of butter?
- Just a little bit.
- Just to cover it?
- Look, you're having
grilled cheese for breakfast.
- That's all I know
how to make, mama.
- Kind of looks
like JJ's making it.
- Oh, you're so funny.
Okay, so once you butter
it, then what do you do?
- You get the cheese.
- [Noah] Grilled cheese,
all right, that makes sense.
What, you ain't gonna help us?
- Oh, it looks
like you got this.
- You're not getting one.
All right, this is it.
This is it, it's the moment
you've been waiting for.
You've got this, all right.
Hey, hey there Colt,
it's nice to meet you.
I'm Noah, I'm a
big fan of yours,

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
I know, I'm kidding.
Sweet tea, water,
whatever you got.
- Brenda, can you bring
us some sweet tea, please?
- Absolutely, you got it.
- Awesome, thank you so much.
- Thanks, Brenda.
- I'm glad you're here.
I love your music.
- Thank you.
- Brought you here just to see if we fit.
- Yeah, I get that.
- I love this man,
he's done a lot for me.
He even managed me
for a little while.
- You didn't tell me
that, Larry, come on.
- That was years ago.
- There's no drinking
on this tour,
to be blunt, my label
is not gonna have it.
- Yeah, I understand.
- I don't think you
have to worry about him.
- Yeah, if I'm being
totally honest,
I have been known to
have a drink or two,
but I can assure you that
that's all behind me now.
- Good, good.
- Actually, I just just
found out I have a son, so.
- That's really good.
Family's great, it reminds
you of what's important.
So let's talk about this
over some sweet tea,
how about that?
- Let's do it, let's do it.
Love that song, by the way.
- Thank you, man, we only
make hits around here.
- Yeah.
After you, darling.
We did it, Larry, we did it.
You kidding me?
We did it. Give me
some, give me some.
Come here.
We never hugged before this.
- Look man, I'm gonna
line up a few shows
to kind of smooth things out
before we do this, alright?
You could use some
smoothness, all right?
I'll call you tomorrow.
- I think you might need the
smoothness there, brother.

- Being a follower of Jesus
will cost you something.
It may cost you friends,
it may cost you your job,
it may even cost you your life.
But as the Apostle Paul
reminds us in Philippians 3:8,
"Indeed I count
everything a loss
for the surpassing work of
knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord."
I want to sum up today's
sermon with a quote.
Jesus asked his disciples,
"What does it profit a man
to gain the whole world
yet to lose his soul?
And what will a man give
in exchange for his soul?"
- Hey.
- Yeah.
- Meet me in the
attic in 10 minutes.
- What? No mama, I got
something I got to take care of.
- 10 minutes.
(gentle music)
- Yes, ma'am.
(gentle music)
What's going on, mama?
- [Sarah] I want to show
you something, sit down.
(gentle music)
- [Noah] What are these?
- These are your dad's.
He was one of the
best bull riders ever.
I remember the day
that he won this one,
National Finals Rodeo.
He was larger than life that
day, still is, you know?
Anyway, after your
brother was born, I had,
I had complications
and I was told I could
never have another child
and then I got pregnant with you
and it was the happiest day
of my life, your dad's too.
Oh yeah.
After I told him, his eyes
lit up like a Christmas tree.
I'll never forget
the look on his face.
You were our little miracle.
He never attended
another rodeo after that,
never said why and I didn't ask,
but I knew.
He gave up his dreams
to care for his family.
He's a good man, Noah
and he loves you very much.
Losing your brother,
it's been very hard on him.
Yeah, he was something
though, right?
Look at these.
(sad music)
- I miss you, brother.
I wish you could meet JJ.
He's amazing, you
know, just like you.
I love you.
Lord, please forgive my pride
and forgive me for
leaving my family when
they needed me the most.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
Thank you.
(gentle music)
Hey pop.
- Son, grab a bail of
hay, give me some help.
- No.
- No?
- I have a better idea.
(gentle music)
You remember how to do that?
- [Jeremiah] Oh, I think
I remember a thing or too.
Dash, come on, come on.
Come on, buddy.
- [Noah] This way, dad.
- [Jeremiah] That a boy.
I remember the first time I
brought you and your brother
to this spot.
- Yeah, me too.
- What was the name
of that little dog
that you used to have?
- Oh, Boot.
- Boot.
- Yeah.
- I never could
for the life of me
figure out why you
named that dog Boot.
- Because he always liked
to sleep on my boot.
- That's right.
He was a good one.
- Yeah.
Yeah, he was, just
like you, dad.
(gentle music)
- What do you mean?
- Mom showed me all the
belt buckles you won.
- Man, I told your mother never
to tell you and your brother
about them.
- Why?
Why wouldn't you tell us that?
You gave up your dream.
(gentle music)
- Having you boys,
that was my dream.
And if I had kept living my
life the way I was doing it
I wouldn't have been around
you or your mother so.
- I'm sorry, dad.
I'm sorry for the
way that I left.
I just hope you can forgive me.
- I'd forgive you, son, but
there isn't anything to forgive.
- I love you, dad.
- I love you too, son.
Yeah.
It's getting late, probably
should head back soon
after I cast a few more.
(Noah snickers)
- Oh, that smells amazing, mama.
I'm so hungry,
gimme a little bite.
- Hey, you stop it.

answer the door and find out?
- Who's coming to dinner, JJ?
LeeAnn, hey, what's going on?

- Oh, hey, what are you?
- Your mom invited me

- Oh, um-
- Well don't just stand
there, let her in.
- I'm sorry, I'm
sorry, come on in.
It's good to see you.

want a chicken leg?

potatoes for that, please,

'cause I know he's
gonna want that next.
- Yes, indeed, yes, indeed.
- Man, this is a lot.
- LeeAnn, so glad you
could be here with us.
- I'm so happy to be here.
- JJ, what'd you do
today on the farm?
- We feeded the cows and
the chickens and the horses.
- [LeeAnn] Oh that's great, JJ.

you do with GMA?
- We went into the garden
and we picked all different
types of vegetables.
- Yes, we did.
- You glad to see
Miss LeeAnn, buddy?
- [JJ] Yeah.
- Me too.
This is a really
beautiful place.
- Been in the family
for three generations?
- Yeah, what was it, our
great, great grandfather
won it in a poker game?
- No, really?
- He is just pulling your leg.
- I'm not.
Mama.
- Well, it's very
peaceful out here.
- Well you are
welcome here anytime,
I want you to know that.
- I gotta go pee.
(all laughing)
(gentle music)
- So you gonna tell me
what really happened?
- Well I work at an animal
shelter on the weekends
and I was helping a dog,
no, I got in a bar fight and
it was not my best moment.
- What an amazing
place to grow up in.
- Yeah, yeah, it really is.
It's funny, I hated
it growing up.
- Why?
- I don't know, I mean I
had to be up every morning
at 4:00 AM to feed the
chickens and the horses.
As a kid, that ain't no fun.
- Yeah, well beats growing
up in a two bedroom apartment
and sharing a room
with my sister.
- Grass is always
greener, I suppose.
- Yeah, I guess so.
- He needs a good
girl in his life.
- Don't go butting into this.

- Is he going to
kiss her or what?
- Now who's butting in?
- I had a great time tonight
but I better be going.
- Do you have to?
- It was great
meeting your parents.
They're good people.
- Well I would say you
made quite the impression.
- Oh really?
Well maybe we can, I don't know-
- Yeah, mmhmm, I'd like that.
- Great.
- Let me get that for you.
- Oh well I guess
chivalry isn't dead.
- Well my mama is watching.
I'm just kidding.
You sure I can't drive you home?
- I'm sure.
It's not that long of
a drive but thank you.
- Alright.
JJ was real happy to see you.
I was too.
- Yeah, me too.
Well I better be going.
- All right.
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
(gentle music)
Dash, Dash!
Come here.
Good boy, good boy.
Let me show you how it's done.
I've been thinking.
- About what?
- I was thinking maybe JJ and
I could live here full time.
- Maybe.
- I was thinking I could
help out on the farm,
JJ could learn.
- Try this.
- Okay then.
- Okay then.
- Smells like rain.
- Yes, sir, it sure does.
- He's ready to see
you now. Mr. Walker.
- Thank you.
Thanks a lot, Colt.
- Yeah, I haven't
said yes just yet.
- What's that?
- Just watch.
(men grunting)
(fists punching)
Kid's got a good right
hook, I'll give him that.
- He's sober now.
- Right.
Listen, I was wild in my youth,
you were wild in your youth,
but the industry's changed.
So have I.
This?
- Hey, what can I say, Cole?
The kids got something,
you told me that yourself.
- Yes, but this image is
not what my fans expect.
- Okay man, I get it but the
kid deserves a second chance.
God knows we got ours.
- Oh man.
I think your pie might
be better than my mama's.
- Oh.
- Don't you tell
her I said that.
- I still can't believe
a country boy like you
has never been on a picnic.
- I was always too
busy working the farm.
Can't believe a
city girl like you
can ride a horse that good.
- I had riding lessons
when I was younger.
I'm glad you and JJ
are getting along here.
- Being back here,
I can see the beauty
in growing up in
a place like this.
- I'm very glad to hear that.
- You know I was,
I was thinking,
it's been so nice
getting to know you.
I don't know I mean
I was thinking maybe
- Yes, I would love to.
- You don't even know
what I was gonna say.
- I would love to spend more
time with you, Noah Bryan.
- What?
- You are so beautiful.
- Is that some country charm?
(romantic music)
- I guess we better get
back, getting feeding time.
- I'll race ya.
- Loser feeds the animals?
(upbeat music)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, what do you think about
getting another horse for JJ?
I want him to learn to ride.
- I think so.
- All right.
- Son, come here a second.
- What's going on?
- Your mama and me,
we've been wanting to give
you something for a long time.
- No.
- [Jeremiah] Go ahead.
- No dad, I can't.
- Son, go ahead, open it.
(gentle music)
You got a real talent.
We've always known it.
I guess,
I guess I just didn't
wanna lose you too.
- Thanks, dad.
- Now, you go out and shoe 'em.
(gentle music)
- [LeeAnn] It looks comfy.
- I am so glad that you
found a place nearby.
- Me too and I'm transferring
to the office in Fayetteville.
- And I am glad too so you
can look after this one.
- I intend to.
(phone ringing)
- Larry?
- [Larry] Hey kid.
- Hey, hey, what's up, man?
- [Larry] I got some good news.
You got a minute?

Thanks for coming out tonight.
How was the show? You like
it, you had a good time?
Good.
Oh wait, hey, hey, hey, hey,
back up, back up, back up.
Hey, how you doing?
Olivia, that's
such a pretty name.
- Thank you.
- Could we take a picture,
a little selfie there?
All right, get in here.
How big can you smile?
Yeah, there you go.
Hey, that's pretty,
thank you so much.
Hey, thanks for coming
out, man, I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Hey, everybody get in here,
let's get one big photo. Come
on, hey, give him your phone.
All right, everybody

- [Group] Noah Bryan!
- Woo!
- [Larry] All right.
- That was amazing.
- How you feeling?
- Good, I'm feeling good.
- That was the
best one yet, Noah.
- Oh, yeah.
- Keep it up, people
are noticing, man.
- They love me.
They love me.
- Now you back that
up a little bit.
Let's not get the cart
before the horse here, right?
- Have a beer.
- What you supposed to
mean by that, Larry?
What's that mean?
- Well, it means you
gotta stay humble.
- I'm humble, man, come on.
- Don't forget, pride always
comes before the fall.
I've seen it before, know what
I'm talking about, alight?
- You ain't getting religious
on me, are you Larry?
- Just talking the truth, kid.
- Oh, I think we
should celebrate.
- Now I think you need
to slow that down.
We got a whole lot
more touring to go.
- You can suit yourself.
- Just looking out for you.
- I got this, man.
(gentle music)
- I need to get some gas, boss.
- Can you grab me something
to drink in there, please?
Thank you.
- Non-alcoholic.
How you doing, kid?
- What's that?
- Doing all right,
you feeling good?
- Yeah, yeah I feel real
good, yeah, thank you.
- How are your parents doing?
- My parents?
Uh, they're good as far as I
know, still working the farm.
I'd love to be able to
hire 'em a couple hands
if I could, you know?
- Now that's a good
son right there.
- Yeah, well
according to my daddy,
a good son would have stayed
on the farm to help out.
- You got a gift kid, truly.
A whole lot of people
would give anything
to be able to sing and play
the way you do, God-given.
- I wish you'd
tell my daddy that.
(gentle music)
- Lord, we thank
you for this day.
Thanks for blessing our food.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
- Amen.
Just listen to one of his songs.
It'd mean the world
to him and to me.
- I'm not gonna change my mind.
- God knows he's just like you.

Thank you.
Love you, Biloxi.
- Great job, guys.
We take off 07:00 tomorrow.
- Good job, man.
- Hey, come here Noah,
I wanna talk to you.
- What?
- Have a seat.
- What?
- Look, I spoke to
the attorney today.
He wants you to take a
paternity test right away.
If the kid's not
yours, you can move on.
- It's not.
- Well but if it is, you
need to deal with it, man.
- I'm not doing it.
- [Larry] What do you mean you're not doing it?
- I'm not doing it.
- [Larry] You need to take care
of this before it gets any bigger.
- I didn't see your
name on the pap-
- Shh.
Quiet down, we don't have
to let the whole room
know about this right now.
- It's not mine.
- Noah, a man can only run
from himself for so long.
- What does that even mean?
- It means no matter where
you go, there you are.
- Well, that sounds like
another country song.
I think I'll write it.
- Paternity test.
- Ain't doing it.
- [Larry] That wasn't so bad.
- That's easy for you to say,
that lady just about tickled
my tonsils with that swab.
- Hey, we leave in an hour, man.
- Going to Little Rock?
- Little Rock.
- Alright.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
- Look, Noah,
I know that your
relationship with your father
isn't the best right now,
and you may even be
afraid to be a dad,
it's a huge responsibility,
but worth every minute.
(gentle music)
- I do remember her.
- What's that?
- Charlie, JJ's mom.
She was different than
the rest, you know, she,
she was the kind you
write a song about.
- What happened?
- I don't know.
I mean, she, she was
always backstage,
that little honky talk
remember we used to play at
outside Fayetteville?
I don't know, one day she
just, she never came back.
I never heard from her again.
- Well, either way,
God has a plan.
(gentle music)
- I hope you're right, Larry.
- [Social Worker] You
sure you wanna do this?
- He's a great kid.
JJ, you're gonna come
stay with me for a while.
Would you like that?
- I miss my mom.
- I know, sweetie.
Thanks, bye.
- It's just until we
can establish paternity
unless other family surfaces.
- I know.
- Okay.
- All right, you ready?
(gentle music)
- Well, here we go.
You want me to open it?
- No, no, I can do it.
I need a drink first.
- No, no, no, no,
have a seat, Noah,
that's not a good idea.
- I can't do it, you do it.
(tense music)
Come on, what is it?
- Congratulations.
- Yes, I told you I wasn't
that kid's daddy, I told you.
You mean congratulations I'm
not the kid's father, right?
- I'm sorry you feel that way.
- It's over, man, it's over.
This ruins, it's over,
my career's over,
you understand that,
right, this is done?
- No, no, no, no.
This could be a good thing.
- For who?
- Both of you.
- I don't know how
to be a daddy, Larry.
I mean, I can ruin his life.
- It's either you
or foster care.
- I need a drink, man.
- Have a seat, brother.
Look, I don't blame
you, this is tough,
but getting blind
drunk ain't the answer.
- You got a better idea?
(gunfire blasting)
- Boy, where'd you learn
to shoot like that?
- My daddy taught me.
'Bout the only thing
we could agree on,
well that and fishing.
- Feeling better?
- No, not really.
What do we do now?
- Well, I reckon it's
time you met your son.
Put some of the
tour dates on hold
to give us time to
figure this out.
- Hi, Noah.
This is Leann Harris from the
Child Protection Services.
We wanna discuss
your meeting with JJ.
We normally do the first
meeting at the facility,
but since it's still
pretty new to him,
we just wanna keep him as
comfortable as possible.
So we would like to have
the meeting at the house.
(gentle music)
- Hey, buddy, I'm, I'm,
hey JJ, I'm your, I'm your dad.
Come on, it's not that,
it's gonna be all right,
it's not that big of a deal,
you just tell him who you
are and he says who he is
and hey, hey, nice
to meet you, JJ.
There it is, see
that's it, you're fine.
(gentle music)
- You must be Noah.
Hi, I'm Leann.
- Oh, hey, it's, it's
nice to meet you.
- I saw you standing at the
door for the past few minutes.
- Oh, sorry, I was,
I was just trying
to, I don't know-
- Don't worry, it
happens to most.
- Okay, that's good, good.
- Are you ready to meet him?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Come on in.
- [Noah] All right, thank you.
- You're welcome.
You want something to
drink, water, coffee, tea?
- No, no, I'm okay,
thank you though.
- Alright.
Yeah, JJ's quite the artist.
- Yeah that's,
that's really good.
- Yeah.
He's in his room,
I can go get him.
- Well, I got, I
got this for JJ.
- Why don't you
give that to him?
Don't worry, you'll be fine.
- Okay.
- I'll be right back.
(phone beeping)
- I hope so, Larry, I hope so.
- JJ, this is the person
I was telling you about.
Can you say hi to Mr. Bryan?
- Hi, Mr. Bryan.
- Hey there, JJ.
How you doing?
- Good.
- It's nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Well, I got you something.
- What do you say?
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you need help?
- Yeah.
- There you go.
- [Leann] What is it?
- LEGOS, love LEGOS.
- Oh good, good, I'm glad.
- [Leann] Good choice.
- Well, I wish I
could take credit,
the lady at the
store recommended it.
- Come on, let's play.
- Oh, you're busy now.
- Okay, well, I guess
we're gonna play LEGOS.
- Yep.
(upbeat music)
- [Larry] Well, how'd it go?
- It was good, it was good.
We're supposed to have
another meeting tomorrow.
I'm scared, Larry.
- Being a parent can
be very intimidating.
- How'd you do it?
- Well, I didn't
do it by myself.
My wife, God bless her.
She was the anchor.
- I don't have a wife, Larry.
- No, but you got your parents
and a whole lot of people
that care about you.
- [Leann] So when did you
first start playing music?
- First picked up a guitar
when I was like five.
- Wow, that's impressive.
- Yeah.
I found my dad's old guitar
hidden away in the
back of the barn.
- Hidden?
- Yeah, I guess he
used to play, but he,
you know, he didn't
really want that for me.
- Oh.
- Just kind of wanted me
to stay and work the farm.
- Well, he must be
very proud of you now.
- Not really.
- What about your mom?
- Now my mama, she's
my biggest fan.
- I bet she is.
So any siblings?
- Uh...
Yeah, I don't usually
talk about it.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no, yeah, of course.
- I'm hungry, when
is my food coming?
- Well, hey, I got an idea.
I'm just throwing it out there,
what if we just skip
breakfast altogether
and we go get us some ice cream?
- What flavor?
- What's your favorite flavor?
- Chocolate.
- That's my favorite flavor.
- Okay, well, let's have
some breakfast first,
and then I know the perfect
place to take you guys.
- Here you go, young man.
- Oh, there it is.
- Thank you.
- And I'll have yours right up.
- All right, you just,
you solved it for us.
I was hoping for ice
cream though, man.

If you do this, there's
no turning back.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
He just, he makes me want
to be a better person.
- Well, who's gonna watch
him when you're on stage
or whatever it is
you're out there doing?
- Uh, I don't know.
- Well, what about your parents?
- Uh...
That's tricky.

- [Sara] Well hi, honey.
How are you?
- Hey, mom.
There's something
I gotta tell you.
- [Larry] So how'd it go?
- Ask me how I'm doing, Larry.
- How you doing, Larry?

man, I'm great.
- Hi, hon.

the breakfast special, please.

- JJ's gonna come live with me.
- Really?
- Yeah, man.
- Oh Noah, that's great, man.
- I know, I'm excited.
- And you thought
your career was over?
How about that?
- Well, I hope I made
the right decision.
Don't make me second
guess it now, come on.
- You made the right decision.
I got some good news, too.
- Yeah, how good?
- You're opening for Colt Young.
- Wait what?
Do you know how
big this is for us?
Do you know?
Whoo!
Sorry.
I'm going on tour
with Colt Young
and I apologize to everyone,
but if you want to come, let
me know, I'll get you in.
Wait so when do we go?
- Two weeks.
- Two weeks, I knew
this was gonna happen.
I knew it, I could feel it, man.
Hey, can we get two beers?
We celebrating.
- Now I have to be
very blunt here now.
You're gonna have
to avoid drinking
for the duration of the tour,
top to bottom, all right?
- What are you talking
about, man? Come on.
- Look man,
Colt Young doesn't want
anyone drinking on his tour.
Besides, you're a father now.
(Noah sighs)
- Showtime.

Oh, that's a cool
bear, what's his name?

a beautiful name.
- All right, you ready to go?
It's okay, honey.
You'll be a good boy

- Mama!
Mom!
All right so after you
get the bread, then what?
- You butter it.
- Okay.
Is it a lot of butter?
- Just a little bit.
- Just to cover it?
- Look, you're having
grilled cheese for breakfast.
- That's all I know
how to make, mama.
- Kind of looks
like JJ's making it.
- Oh, you're so funny.
Okay, so once you butter
it, then what do you do?
- You get the cheese.

What, you ain't gonna help us?
- Oh, it looks

(audience applauding)
- Bye bye, Noah Bryan.
(crowd yelling)
(dramatic music)
Hey!
(fists punching)
(men grunting)
(Noah grunting)
- I'm pretty sure I won, though.
Are those your boots?
- Yep, those are boots.
Get in the car.
- I like it.
- Get in.
- Ow, ow, my hair!
Ow!
Hey!
Can you get me a beer?
(sirens blaring)
I need a beer.
- You haven't said a word
the whole drive over.
- There ain't nothing to say.
- How 'bout thanks?
- Thanks, Larry.
- You know you really
should be grateful
I was able to get you
out on a Saturday.
(Noah laughing)
This isn't funny.
You should be grateful
I was able to get
you out on a Saturday
because the other guy
didn't wanna press charges.
The label called.
- Let me guess, they don't
want me on the tour anymore.
- They have a reputation
to protect, Noah.
And it took a favor
from a good friend
to get you that interview.
They handed you
the biggest break
of your career.
- What do you want me to say, Larry?
- You just threw
it out the window.
You need to deal
with whatever it is
that's we messing you up.
- Are we done?
- Yeah, yeah Noah, we're done.
I think it's time you
found another manager.
- That's no problem.
- It's no problem, huh?
You're still being prideful.
I've warned you about that.
- I don't need your God stuff.
- That's exactly what
you need, right now.
(sad music)
- [Sara] My, my,
where have you been?
- Daddy!
- What happened to you?
Noah, where's my car?
Noah!
(sad music)
- Ooh mama, your baking
sure does smell good.
- Noah's back.
- Where is he?
- Just leave him be.
- What do you mean leave him be?
Okay.
Hey, little cowboy,
what you doing?
- That's you, colors
and the rainbow.
(sad music)
- Are you gonna
put Dash in there?
- Yeah.
(banging)
- Hey, papa needs to
go feed some horses.
You want to go with me?
Alright, come on.
Come on, let's go.
- Noah?
(knocking on door)
Noah!
What's going on in there?
(sad music)
- God...
please forgive me.
Hey.
- Why are you sad?
- Come here, buddy, I love you.
- Love you, too.
(sad music)
- You ready to discuss what
happened the other night?
- No.
- Ice cream at 7:30
in the morning?
- It's better than
grilled cheese, right?
- [Sara] I spoke to Larry.
- Of course you did.
What'd he say?
- He said a lot, son.
- [Noah] Sounds like Larry.
- JJ, sweetie,
do you mind taking your ice
cream into the living room?
You can play in there.
- Okay, GMA.
- Great.
Thank you.
What's going on with you?
- I don't wanna talk about it.
- I didn't raise you in
a good Christian home
for you to go out drinking
and starting fights.
Go get changed, we're
going to church.
- I'm not going to church, mama.
- Oh, you're going to church
and we're gonna pick
up my car on the way.
(sad music)
(church bells ringing)
- Being a follower of Jesus
will cost you something.
It may cost you friends,
it may cost you your job,
it may even cost you your life.
But as the Apostle Paul
reminds us in Philippians 3:8,
"Indeed I count
everything a loss
for the surpassing work of
knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord."
I want to sum up today's
sermon with a quote.
Jesus asked his disciples,
"What does it profit a man
to gain the whole world
yet to lose his soul?
And what will a man give
in exchange for his soul?"
- Hey.
- Yeah.
- Meet me in the
attic in 10 minutes.
- What? No mama, I got
something I got to take care of.
- 10 minutes.
(gentle music)
- Yes, ma'am.
(gentle music)
What's going on, mama?
- [Sarah] I want to show
you something, sit down.
(gentle music)
- [Noah] What are these?
- These are your dad's.
He was one of the
best bull riders ever.
I remember the day
that he won this one,
National Finals Rodeo.
He was larger than life that
day, still is, you know?
Anyway, after your
brother was born, I had,
I had complications
and I was told I could
never have another child
and then I got pregnant with you
and it was the happiest day
of my life, your dad's too.
Oh yeah.
After I told him, his eyes
lit up like a Christmas tree.
I'll never forget
the look on his face.
You were our little miracle.
He never attended
another rodeo after that,
never said why and I didn't ask,
but I knew.
He gave up his dreams
to care for his family.
He's a good man, Noah
and he loves you very much.
Losing your brother,
it's been very hard on him.
Yeah, he was something
though, right?
Look at these.
(sad music)
- I miss you, brother.
I wish you could meet JJ.
He's amazing, you
know, just like you.
I love you.
Lord, please forgive my pride
and forgive me for
leaving my family when
they needed me the most.
Thank you.
(gentle music)
Thank you.
(gentle music)
Hey pop.
- Son, grab a bail of
hay, give me some help.
- No.
- No?
- I have a better idea.
(gentle music)
You remember how to do that?
- [Jeremiah] Oh, I think
I remember a thing or too.
Dash, come on, come on.
Come on, buddy.
- [Noah] This way, dad.
- [Jeremiah] That a boy.
I remember the first time I
brought you and your brother
to this spot.
- Yeah, me too.
- What was the name
of that little dog
that you used to have?
- Oh, Boot.
- Boot.
- Yeah.
- I never could
for the life of me
figure out why you
named that dog Boot.
- Because he always liked
to sleep on my boot.
- That's right.
He was a good one.
- Yeah.
Yeah, he was, just
like you, dad.
(gentle music)
- What do you mean?
- Mom showed me all the
belt buckles you won.
- Man, I told your mother never
to tell you and your brother
about them.
- Why?
Why wouldn't you tell us that?
You gave up your dream.
(gentle music)
- Having you boys,
that was my dream.
And if I had kept living my
life the way I was doing it
I wouldn't have been around
you or your mother so.
- I'm sorry, dad.
I'm sorry for the
way that I left.
I just hope you can forgive me.
- I'd forgive you, son, but
there isn't anything to forgive.
- I love you, dad.
- I love you too, son.
Yeah.
It's getting late, probably
should head back soon
after I cast a few more.
(Noah snickers)
- Oh, that smells amazing, mama.
I'm so hungry,
gimme a little bite.
- Hey, you stop it.
(doorbell ringing)
- Somebody coming to dinner?
- [Sara] Well, why don't you
answer the door and find out?
- Who's coming to dinner, JJ?
LeeAnn, hey, what's going on?
- Hey Noah.
- Oh, hey, what are you?
- Your mom invited me
and besides, I wanted to see JJ.
- Oh, um-
- Well don't just stand
there, let her in.
- I'm sorry, I'm
sorry, come on in.
It's good to see you.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Um, how you been?
- Good.
- [JJ] You said
that you would come.
- I told you I would.
- Yeah, he missed you.
- I missed him.
- It's so nice to
meet you, LeeAnn.
- Nice meeting you, Mrs. Bryan.
- Noah, you didn't tell
me how pretty she is.
- You didn't tell me
she was coming to dinner
so we're even, mama.
- [JJ] Does anybody
want a chicken leg?
- I think I'm good.
- I got mine but hey, son,
can I have a roll, please?
- [Noah] Yeah, dad.
- Yeah, let me trade you some
potatoes for that, please,
sir, thank you.
Appreciate it.
- You better hand me the butter
'cause I know he's
gonna want that next.
- Yes, indeed, yes, indeed.
- Man, this is a lot.
- LeeAnn, so glad you
could be here with us.
- I'm so happy to be here.
- JJ, what'd you do
today on the farm?
- We feeded the cows and
the chickens and the horses.
- [LeeAnn] Oh that's great, JJ.
- That's right, what'd
you do with GMA?
- We went into the garden
and we picked all different
types of vegetables.
- Yes, we did.
- You glad to see
Miss LeeAnn, buddy?
- [JJ] Yeah.
- Me too.
This is a really
beautiful place.
- Been in the family
for three generations?
- Yeah, what was it, our
great, great grandfather
won it in a poker game?
- No, really?
- He is just pulling your leg.
- I'm not.
Mama.
- Well, it's very
peaceful out here.
- Well you are
welcome here anytime,
I want you to know that.
- I gotta go pee.
(all laughing)
(gentle music)
- So you gonna tell me
what really happened?
- Well I work at an animal
shelter on the weekends
and I was helping a dog,
no, I got in a bar fight and
it was not my best moment.
- What an amazing
place to grow up in.
- Yeah, yeah, it really is.
It's funny, I hated
it growing up.
- Why?
- I don't know, I mean I
had to be up every morning
at 4:00 AM to feed the
chickens and the horses.
As a kid, that ain't no fun.
- Yeah, well beats growing
up in a two bedroom apartment
and sharing a room
with my sister.
- Grass is always
greener, I suppose.
- Yeah, I guess so.
- He needs a good
girl in his life.
- Don't go butting into this.
- Oh I would never.
- It's a beautiful night.
- Yes, it is.
- Is he going to
kiss her or what?
- Now who's butting in?
- I had a great time tonight
but I better be going.
- Do you have to?
- It was great
meeting your parents.
They're good people.
- Well I would say you
made quite the impression.
- Oh really?
Well maybe we can, I don't know-
- Yeah, mmhmm, I'd like that.
- Great.
- Let me get that for you.
- Oh well I guess
chivalry isn't dead.
- Well my mama is watching.
I'm just kidding.
You sure I can't drive you home?
- I'm sure.
It's not that long of
a drive but thank you.
- Alright.
JJ was real happy to see you.
I was too.
- Yeah, me too.
Well I better be going.
- All right.
(gentle music)
(car engine revving)
(gentle music)
Dash, Dash!
Come here.
Good boy, good boy.
Let me show you how it's done.
I've been thinking.
- About what?
- I was thinking maybe JJ and
I could live here full time.
- Maybe.
- I was thinking I could
help out on the farm,
JJ could learn.
- Try this.
- Okay then.
- Okay then.
- Smells like rain.
- Yes, sir, it sure does.
- He's ready to see
you now. Mr. Walker.
- Thank you.
Thanks a lot, Colt.
- Yeah, I haven't
said yes just yet.
- What's that?
- Just watch.
(men grunting)
(fists punching)
Kid's got a good right
hook, I'll give him that.
- He's sober now.
- Right.
Listen, I was wild in my youth,
you were wild in your youth,
but the industry's changed.
So have I.
This?
- Hey, what can I say, Cole?
The kids got something,
you told me that yourself.
- Yes, but this image is
not what my fans expect.
- Okay man, I get it but the
kid deserves a second chance.
God knows we got ours.
- Oh man.
I think your pie might
be better than my mama's.
- Oh.
- Don't you tell
her I said that.
- I still can't believe
a country boy like you
has never been on a picnic.
- I was always too
busy working the farm.
Can't believe a
city girl like you
can ride a horse that good.
- I had riding lessons
when I was younger.
I'm glad you and JJ
are getting along here.
- Being back here,
I can see the beauty
in growing up in
a place like this.
- I'm very glad to hear that.
- You know I was,
I was thinking,
it's been so nice
getting to know you.
I don't know I mean
I was thinking maybe
- Yes, I would love to.
- You don't even know
what I was gonna say.
- I would love to spend more
time with you, Noah Bryan.
- What?
- You are so beautiful.
- Is that some country charm?
(romantic music)
- I guess we better get
back, getting feeding time.
- I'll race ya.
- Loser feeds the animals?
(upbeat music)
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, what do you think about
getting another horse for JJ?
I want him to learn to ride.
- I think so.
- All right.
- Son, come here a second.
- What's going on?
- Your mama and me,
we've been wanting to give
you something for a long time.
- No.
- [Jeremiah] Go ahead.
- No dad, I can't.
- Son, go ahead, open it.
(gentle music)
You got a real talent.
We've always known it.
I guess,
I guess I just didn't
wanna lose you too.
- Thanks, dad.
- Now, you go out and shoe 'em.
(gentle music)
- [LeeAnn] It looks comfy.
- I am so glad that you
found a place nearby.
- Me too and I'm transferring
to the office in Fayetteville.
- And I am glad too so you
can look after this one.
- I intend to.
(phone ringing)
- Larry?
- [Larry] Hey kid.
- Hey, hey, what's up, man?
- [Larry] I got some good news.
You got a minute?
(gentle guitar music)
