  Hello, folks, this is Princess, you are listening to the
• 0:04
  millennial Mustard Seed, pod cast.
• 0:06
  Thanks for listening. Don't forget to share with your
• 0:09
  friends. I stopped wearing a very tough
• 0:12
  spot. I think that what we're doing
• 0:15
  right now is a great benefit and virtue because it's an
• 0:19
  end-around between this whole corrupt information system media
• 0:24
  system. We claim to believe in a God who
• 0:27
  spoke the universe into existence and literally raised
• 0:30
  himself from the dead. And yet, we're not going to
• 0:34
  believe that anything else exists in the spirit realm, even
• 0:37
  though his word tells us that they do, Their bodies weren't
• 0:41
  permitted to go to sleep, like humans do, and there weren't
• 0:45
  permitted to go to heaven. So they wander the Earth.
• 0:49
  You know, I've seen as turn black to unknown tongues being
• 0:53
  spoken. These Giants were the way up and
• 0:58
  we are Graves the young man might have been the trees away
• 1:01
  for one of these 12/4 to come walking down the back.
• 1:15
  Then people start to get weapons, they start to get
• 1:17
  armor, they start to build cities, they Soldier fortify
• 1:19
  their cities. Now God looks down and there's
• 1:22
  violence everywhere. The battle this war that we are
• 1:26
  at, is not against each other. It's against these
• 1:29
  principalities in these rulers in, these are cons in high
• 1:31
  places. It's really worthwhile to read
• 1:34
  the Bible. A beer is one of the primary
• 1:37
  drivers of mind control because we have to take every thought
• 1:42
  captive and resist. You're going to have a testimony
• 1:49
  that is a Justice case against the kingdom of darkness.
• 2:03
  Welcome back to the millennial Mustard Seed, pod cast a micro
• 2:07
  episode. And I have Sam Delgado here from
• 2:10
  the weird Christian podcast. We have an awesome conversation,
• 2:15
  you get to hear a side of Sam and myself that normally
• 2:19
  wouldn't be heard on an interview style episode Sam is a
• 2:25
  Bible history teacher at the high school level.
• 2:28
  He's also an author, a husband, a father, a podcaster and we get
• 2:33
  to share a little bit of humor or Hearts ideas.
• 2:37
  So this is really encouraging. I'm not going to waste any more
• 2:40
  time. Are you guys ready for this
• 2:42
  edification episode? I'm ready, let's go.
• 2:59
  Samuel dog got hit with the word Christian podcast and I am here
• 3:03
  on the millennial Mustard Seed. He's of that application called
• 3:07
  provide, man, that was a great introduction Sam, it's a
• 3:10
  pleasure to be with you. Yeah man, I think for having me
• 3:12
  on first and foremost, a fan of your show before it ever even
• 3:16
  talked with you, I love what you're doing on the weird
• 3:20
  Christian podcast. It's like this unchartered
• 3:22
  territory and like, here comes I am just with the weirdness.
• 3:25
  Crushing it, it's amazing. Hmm.
• 3:28
  Well yeah, thanks, man. I highly recommend the listeners
• 3:31
  you guys. Check out his show.
• 3:33
  A lot of it goes over top of my head.
• 3:34
  So for those smart people, that always, like, send me weird
• 3:37
  questions that I can't handle Sam will most likely be covering
• 3:41
  that kind of content. It's weird and fun.
• 3:44
  So first up, you know, thanks for.
• 3:46
  Thanks for love there. I'll just say that it's been
• 3:48
  cool getting to know you and have a fellow podcaster reaching
• 3:52
  out and especially Some of this light mine and it's covered in
• 3:55
  some of the same material. So I appreciate your friendship
• 4:00
  and your willingness to reach out.
• 4:01
  I mean, I still can kind of consider myself a small fry.
• 4:04
  So luckily I'm able to, you know, have the time I'm not too
• 4:07
  big to where I can't reach out to anyone.
• 4:11
  I don't think I pick one particular topics three
• 4:13
  questions. I mean, since we're both
• 4:15
  podcasters that my first question has to do with that.
• 4:19
  So the question is, who's your dream interview?
• 4:22
  So one will go like Like realistic like someone who's on
• 4:27
  your radar that you would like on your show and then we'll go
• 4:30
  okay fantastic with it and say anybody right?
• 4:34
  And we'll and I'm actually going to say anybody like polite.
• 4:40
  Yes he so you know you can I'll say with the exception of Jesus
• 4:44
  and you know you can throw a Biblical character or just
• 4:46
  historical character. Yeah.
• 4:48
  So who's your interview realistic and then your fantasy
• 4:54
  My dream interview that I can't do would be the late dr.
• 4:58
  Chuck Missler. Eight years ago, I come to the
• 5:00
  Lord and he was like covering all the stuff that I was
• 5:03
  wondering about. He passed away.
• 5:05
  I believe it was 2017 or 2018 someone that I really would like
• 5:09
  to talk with. I'd have to say, Tony Merkel at
• 5:12
  this point from the confessionals podcast.
• 5:14
  In the reason I say that is because I actually met Tony, a
• 5:18
  handful of times he was driving truck and doing deliveries where
• 5:22
  I still work at. This is Years ago.
• 5:24
  He's like Mega now you know he moved from Southeastern
• 5:27
  Pennsylvania but you know you're pretty much was like a neighbor
• 5:29
  live like two towns over and we got to talk and chop it up and
• 5:34
  like I got to see his growth process and where I was at the
• 5:37
  time I was at a weird place where I couldn't wrap my mind
• 5:41
  around everything that I was dealing with and where I was
• 5:45
  growing in the process. I was not ready for that, kind
• 5:47
  of exposure. Now, I can't reach them now.
• 5:49
  It's like he's super genuine. Awesome guy, but he's in this
• 5:53
  area. Where it's like probably getting
• 5:55
  flooded and overwhelmed with messages and people reaching out
• 5:58
  and he's doing some really big things.
• 5:59
  So that would be my like, my realistic one.
• 6:01
  I don't think it's out of the question for down the road.
• 6:04
  It's been really hard to. Yeah, try to make that a
• 6:08
  reality, but it's possible. So the person that I would
• 6:11
  interview that's like, you know, kind of more in the fantasy end
• 6:15
  of things, like not obtainable at least in this life, but in
• 6:18
  the next one, I believe, look at the opportunity.
• 6:21
  I definitely would want to talk Jacob nice everyone to talk with
• 6:27
  Jacob. His name meant deceiver and he
• 6:30
  wrestled with God and became Israel, you know.
• 6:34
  And it just I think there's so much Humanity in that.
• 6:37
  I think all of us have a little something wrong and some of us
• 6:40
  are seeking was right? And I think Jacob was like that
• 6:43
  first, like, I don't know. Just, I'd want to interview and
• 6:46
  talk with him. Like, dude, how did you wrestle
• 6:48
  with the Lord all night long? Like, well, it kind of like
• 6:51
  resilience is in. You'd even at your Evolved
• 6:54
  acity, do you have to do that? So I think that would be kind of
• 6:56
  like that fantasy, you know, dream interview and maybe
• 7:00
  someday I'll see him in the Kingdom.
• 7:01
  Well, I know he'll be there in by the grace of God.
• 7:04
  I'll make it as a doorkeeper. So great.
• 7:07
  Yeah, great question them. You threw me off guard, man?
• 7:10
  That was actually a deep question.
• 7:11
  That was good. It was real good.
• 7:14
  Not yeah. Like your answers there too.
• 7:16
  I know, you know, you'd met Tony but yeah, I love it.
• 7:21
  I love the confessionals and so He make for a great interview in
• 7:25
  Jacobs, on my favorite Bible characters to so that's awesome.
• 7:29
  All right man. So the first question I have for
• 7:31
  you, your teacher, just so the audience knows you teach on the
• 7:34
  high school level and teach like Bible History and what is the
• 7:38
  most challenging and rewarding thing about teaching in today's
• 7:43
  day and age? Hmm.
• 7:47
  Yeah. Well I so I've been teaching for
• 7:50
  seem so crazy to say this but this is my 10th year.
• 7:53
  Teaching my first year teaching, as a Bible teacher.
• 7:56
  So I've done Elementary I've been middle.
• 7:58
  Now, I'm doing High School. I mean I would say easily the
• 8:02
  most rewarding thing is just being able to be in a position
• 8:06
  of influence for, you know, younger generation.
• 8:11
  So you know, I always try to tether myself back to back to
• 8:15
  that and how I relate to the students and anytime you get a
• 8:19
  chance to get past the Emmett content and be able to actually
• 8:25
  be more of a mentor to a child. That's most rewarding and you
• 8:29
  don't really see it sometimes, like, this this year, I got a
• 8:33
  note in my teacher box one day, and it was a student that you
• 8:37
  said, thank you for helping me, you know, freshman year,
• 8:39
  whatever, and the student didn't even sign.
• 8:42
  The, I don't even know who was but, you know, little things
• 8:46
  like that you don't, you don't really feel it at the time, but
• 8:51
  it's nice to see. Oh wow, you know, I'm And make a
• 8:54
  difference, you know, a lot of times I guess it's like that.
• 8:56
  You don't really see it challenging really behavior is a
• 9:01
  challenge. You know, most teachers that I
• 9:03
  speak to are really having a hard time just with the I mean
• 9:09
  the disrespect, they're getting from the students.
• 9:11
  So I'm not going to sugarcoat or anything like that.
• 9:14
  It can be very trying in that regard.
• 9:18
  You know, so much of what we're dealing with day-to-day isn't
• 9:21
  the isn't the content we're dealing with?
• 9:23
  How to manage a classroom so that's that's for sure.
• 9:26
  The hardest part, the struggles definitely real.
• 9:29
  Yeah that's a great answer. Is a lot of times like we just
• 9:32
  go through life and we're giving all that we have or following
• 9:36
  are calling to get that little you know.
• 9:38
  Hey I see you. You're doing good.
• 9:40
  You made a difference that goes a long way.
• 9:43
  So yeah it really does. You gotta get a really hold on
• 9:47
  to those those moments and just focus on positive you know in
• 9:50
  any given class is going to have like a couple you know maybe One
• 9:53
  or two students the you know, the like you and that, you know
• 9:57
  we'll we'll see you as a mentor. You're going to have like two or
• 10:01
  three that dislike you and then the rest are going to be
• 10:04
  indifferent. So I've had to I've had to learn
• 10:07
  to just focus on those that you have a positive relationship
• 10:10
  with and that, you know, want to want to listen, want to learn
• 10:14
  that sort of thing. Well, since its Bible History,
• 10:16
  do you think there's any way we could?
• 10:17
  Like, maybe put another box up next to the suggestion box
• 10:21
  requesting Deliverance for like any of these, like, little Even
• 10:23
  children that are giving you aren't.
• 10:25
  I'm like, sorry, I want a sense of humor.
• 10:30
  But for sure, there's in our world today, you know, with our
• 10:34
  younger generation there's there's so much same from the
• 10:37
  outside and absolutely, there's a there's all sorts of demonic
• 10:42
  influence there too. So you can see it and in every
• 10:45
  aspect. So that's, it's a battle
• 10:48
  spiritually as well. Great response though man.
• 10:51
  Yeah, alright, so so you're up for your And so I guess this
• 10:55
  kind of following up with your interview with Jacob so there
• 11:00
  may be some overlap here but also I used to ask my guess this
• 11:03
  question and it's a yeah exporting to keep it Bible.
• 11:07
  So what event would you have? Liked to been present to see in
• 11:12
  the Bible To be able to narrow it down to one.
• 11:17
  I understand why, because I use this question for people on the
• 11:21
  show are just the right person. I'll ask him because I'm really,
• 11:25
  actually curious. How would you choose?
• 11:30
  I'd like to see the resurrection.
• 11:35
  It's the staple. My hope I want to see the
• 11:39
  climax. I want to see the reason that
• 11:42
  the reason that I'm even here really I don't mean to be like,
• 11:47
  cliche goes probably such a generic answer for some people,
• 11:50
  but seriously, I would want to see the resurrection.
• 11:56
  Whether it was at the tomb or when he's just blowing and
• 12:01
  walking through walls saying, hey you who doubted stick your
• 12:06
  hand in my side. I mean, at any point in time to
• 12:09
  see a man getting chills right now, just just saying this and
• 12:12
  thinking about it because that is the Apex moment of History.
• 12:38
  Doesn't get better? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 12:43
  Wow. It's an emotional one him Just a
• 12:50
  second runner-up. Just because I would like to see
• 12:53
  David and being on the run in the wilderness from Saul.
• 12:56
  Hmm. And how he was able to like
• 12:59
  literally contend with the humility and like cutting a part
• 13:02
  of his robe off and the cave and being like, dude, I could have
• 13:05
  taken you out, but you're the Lord's anointed and like he's
• 13:09
  the anointed though. But like you had such a
• 13:11
  reverence for God that he just hung on to everything God said.
• 13:14
  And he wouldn't walk through a door until God made it.
• 13:16
  So evident there was no other A choice.
• 13:18
  I'm fascinated with David story because I think there's some
• 13:24
  David and most most of us men today who were actually serving
• 13:28
  the Living. God, I think there's a lot of
• 13:29
  glimmers of his journey and I think there's a lot to learn
• 13:34
  from reading about this man who was flawed terribly flawed but
• 13:40
  he was after God's heart, that would kind of be my second
• 13:43
  runner-up. Yeah, nice.
• 13:45
  We got to do an episode down the road just for like jotting back
• 13:47
  and forth. Chain five, you know.
• 13:49
  Because that man tons. Yeah, yeah.
• 13:51
  You could definitely do an episode on that.
• 13:52
  Um, but that's good answer. Yeah, it's a crazy contrast
• 13:58
  looking at at Saul and David but that I think you hit it on the
• 14:02
  head. That's the, that's the
• 14:03
  difference there. Is that David was was focused on
• 14:05
  the Lord. But yeah, that's cool.
• 14:10
  You should deal with weird stuff.
• 14:11
  Like I do know, I have to ask this one Are.
• 14:14
  All Right audience. I need you guys to send in some
• 14:17
  comments on I need you to go over like And subscribe Sam show
• 14:20
  because it's so weird. We cannot possibly cover it
• 14:24
  right now but I'm going to ask the question.
• 14:27
  Why did you start the weird Christian podcast?
• 14:32
  What happened to you? Yeah, so that's a good question.
• 14:37
  I hmm. Can't think like, how to start
• 14:41
  the inside question because I get that sometimes.
• 14:43
  Like from people that know me, that maybe don't know, like the
• 14:47
  weird Side or aspect or interest that I have.
• 14:51
  And and so they're kind of like, oh you know, I've had people ask
• 14:55
  me in concern, like what everything, all right like what
• 14:58
  do you want? What is this whole pocket thing
• 15:00
  about, you know, because it's Taboo in.
• 15:03
  So people it weirds people out and in a way it's really just an
• 15:07
  outlet for me to like a safe space where I can talk about the
• 15:11
  weird and with people that get it, you know, I'm basically just
• 15:17
  have a very critical mind and so, you know, when you read the
• 15:22
  Bible, there's there's so many unanswered questions and so I
• 15:26
  think I probably started like waking up when I was nine.
• 15:33
  Eleven woke me up started. Listen to Alex Jones.
• 15:38
  I think I came across like the Nephilim at some point and
• 15:43
  that's kind of what kind of open the door.
• 15:45
  Getting me into some into the weird I guess.
• 15:49
  And so I started just reading a lot about Bible prophecy and
• 15:52
  things like that and again I didn't really have anyone that
• 15:58
  shared that interest and you can't just like walk up to
• 16:01
  someone, you know, casual conversation.
• 16:05
  Be like dude you know the 911 inside job or you know, no, it's
• 16:10
  not really socially acceptable. And so I would just consume
• 16:14
  books and books and books. Over the weird and I probably
• 16:20
  had in my mind that I wanted to do like either a YouTube channel
• 16:24
  or a podcast or something, but it didn't really have anything.
• 16:27
  Narrowed down that that I felt like I could like really bring
• 16:31
  to the table. I might have an idea.
• 16:33
  I would look up like a YouTube channel and like someone else
• 16:36
  was doing that idea better than I ever could.
• 16:38
  So I was like, okay, well and I was just praying one day and I
• 16:41
  think I kind of felt like well, what is Is what is something
• 16:46
  that I could do that? No one else is really doing, and
• 16:52
  my conception of the podcast of the first is different than
• 16:54
  what, it ended up being, I wanted to have a little bit more
• 16:59
  diversity, but it ended up just being it's narrowed down to just
• 17:03
  basically, more theological biblical weirdness.
• 17:08
  And most people I talk to are pastors or theologians, and
• 17:14
  anyway, it's been Some of its intellectual as you mentioned.
• 17:20
  Yeah I think I started it because I was already consuming
• 17:24
  this material and a lot of times like if I'm listening to a
• 17:27
  podcast I'm coming up. Like I'm like seeing myself in
• 17:31
  the interviewers chair? Yeah, coming up with questions
• 17:34
  and like like a lot of times I listened to an interview and
• 17:36
  like man I wish they would have asked him this question and so
• 17:41
  it just kind of hit me like I'm already consuming the material
• 17:45
  This just gives me an excuse to to put myself in that position
• 17:50
  to sit down with the authors and asking those questions and, you
• 17:53
  know, fortunately, it's been awesome.
• 17:56
  So, yeah, I guess that's some background on how the weird
• 18:00
  Christian podcast came to be. I can relate so much to that.
• 18:05
  Yeah, not well. I mean, different set of
• 18:08
  circumstances and people and you know things that led me to it
• 18:12
  but you know, you said a couple key things and Just to highlight
• 18:17
  one of them like you're saying I want to find something I can do.
• 18:20
  Like that's genuine to me. They're going to try to like fit
• 18:23
  in some other mold and urine Compass saying like instead of
• 18:28
  just going and getting carried away with like oh we're just
• 18:30
  going to deal with, you know, hybrids or Nephilim preacher
• 18:35
  host. Whatever.
• 18:36
  I mean, all that stuff is super cool but you're able to embody
• 18:39
  all of that on the show and that's what I like.
• 18:42
  And I like how its developed and now you're actually like really
• 18:46
  We getting into like the whole Advanced Academia with some of
• 18:50
  the guests you Padawan. But you always say, you can
• 18:53
  always throw in like a cool Cryptid interview.
• 18:55
  Like it's weird and I'm sure for sure it's weird.
• 18:59
  That people don't actually know these other takes of the Bible
• 19:03
  and I'm a big fan of your show. So just hearing like that raw
• 19:07
  organic answer here and just to the listeners, know, we don't
• 19:09
  have questions like laid out in front.
• 19:12
  Like I don't know what Sam's going to ask me.
• 19:14
  He has no idea what I'm going to ask him.
• 19:16
  That's one of my things with these of edification episodes
• 19:20
  because I wanted to be like the first time you hear it you're
• 19:22
  real reaction and it just gradually.
• 19:24
  So that's amazing. Well I'm glad you said it to
• 19:27
  kids you know if you are a critical critical of the Bible,
• 19:33
  you will inevitably get weird. And that's what I like my eyes
• 19:37
  are so much. He's a true academic that will
• 19:39
  cover, you know, the stuff that I'll go over your head just make
• 19:42
  me boring, you know, whatever but because Cuz the Bible is
• 19:48
  Supernatural and weird. He covers hybrids as well and so
• 19:53
  yeah. You know, again that's that's
• 19:57
  been part of it and so, yeah, I like that, I'm able to do weird.
• 20:02
  But then, you know what I would I would consider a lot of the
• 20:05
  theological stuff. We're just we're just well,
• 20:07
  because you just don't get that in church a lot and
• 20:09
  unfortunately like you have to read a book to figure out a lot
• 20:14
  of these issues that You're not going to get answers for in
• 20:18
  Sunday school or, you know, from the, from the pulpit and Sunday
• 20:21
  morning. So that's where my mind goes or,
• 20:24
  you know, I read a book and and talk about, I don't know.
• 20:28
  But you're not, you're not allowed to talk about, it's just
• 20:30
  people don't people just want their, they want their answers,
• 20:34
  simple answers. And they want to put everything
• 20:36
  in a box and so I'd like to again, I'm critical if I just
• 20:40
  want to like unpack, everything and explore.
• 20:43
  That's the brand mentalities and your Studying like share
• 20:46
  yourself while approved like you're not leaving anything
• 20:49
  behind. There's a certain amount of
• 20:51
  respect that comes with that approach because it takes effort
• 20:56
  and time and you got to be involved to do what you're
• 20:59
  doing. So all right, so you kind of
• 21:02
  answered my third question. I'll let you know what it was
• 21:07
  and I kind of like a backup. You can elaborate on it if you
• 21:09
  want. I was going to Advocate woke you
• 21:11
  up. You mentioned, Chuck Missler.
• 21:13
  So you can expand on that if you want.
• 21:16
  Um but if not I guess I'll slip in a backup question.
• 21:20
  I was going to ask if you you're gonna do a different podcast
• 21:23
  like on different topic, what's like something you'd be
• 21:25
  interested enough to where you could you could you can do a
• 21:28
  whole nother thing on it. I would say, just commenting
• 21:33
  with like mild, humor realistic critical wit because I'm a
• 21:38
  talker, right? And I have strong views and
• 21:41
  opinion. So just dealing with some of the
• 21:43
  things if they're intense. And they're important taking the
• 21:47
  lighter approach to it and not stealing any of the validity of
• 21:51
  what's going on but trying to paint a picture so that people
• 21:53
  don't panic about the wrong information, you know.
• 21:57
  I'd like to do a podcast where it Bridges and just kind of like
• 22:00
  equalizes and neutralizes this crazy world of all these
• 22:04
  messages and signals and people freaking out.
• 22:06
  There's no reason to be afraid and I think I would see myself
• 22:10
  narrating, joking, light-hearted conversation about relevant
• 22:15
  things. Trying to get people to
• 22:17
  understand, you don't have to view everything through fear and
• 22:20
  so on and so forth. So that's one of the ideas that
• 22:23
  I've played around with for a future show.
• 22:26
  Potentially to now elaborate on the Chuck Missler thing.
• 22:29
  Yeah, I mean one of the big climaxes was Near-death
• 22:35
  encounter 19 or 20 years old, that opened my eyes.
• 22:38
  That that messed me up. You know, I really had to now
• 22:43
  wonder what's going to happen when I die and completely pass
• 22:47
  on? And you know, long story short,
• 22:49
  you fast forward a couple years from that encounter and I find
• 22:52
  myself surrendering my heart to Christ.
• 22:56
  And at that point in time I'm like well I'm not listening to
• 23:01
  anybody who's going to reject my personal experience because it's
• 23:05
  antidote achill, to them. I'm just trying to explain to
• 23:08
  them what I've seen or what I experience, but in it, they're
• 23:12
  treating me. Like I'm some weirdo but then I
• 23:14
  find a guy like dr. Chuck Missler and he is with
• 23:17
  confidence and with Intrepid boldness standing on the word of
• 23:21
  God and saying, here's where that versus that they skip over
• 23:24
  systematically. You're being systematically
• 23:27
  desensitized by certain organizations.
• 23:30
  Chuck Missler. Made that relevant, just by
• 23:31
  organically going through the Bible.
• 23:34
  Whether he was, you know, in some people's minds are up, he's
• 23:38
  no good. He's Campfire Story mentality.
• 23:40
  We'll listen. I'm the guy next door and I
• 23:43
  needed that in my life at that period of my my life or else I
• 23:47
  was going to go nuts reading all of this stuff on my own and
• 23:51
  being like it's supernatural. Like why is everybody like a
• 23:56
  robot right now? It's like you bring it up and
• 23:58
  they just like Ming changing too serious passive-aggressive,
• 24:05
  whatever, man and I couldn't deal with that, that was so
• 24:08
  unreal and unauthentic to me. So, Chuck Missler, he was a
• 24:12
  game-changer. He led me to l.a.
• 24:13
  Marzulli and so on and so forth. And now, here I am talking with
• 24:17
  the weird Christian podcasts and all God.
• 24:19
  Oh yeah, that was a big shift, but there's a lot more that
• 24:22
  happened that opened up my eyes. But yeah, great question.
• 24:25
  And she was right on. I think Chuck was like that for
• 24:28
  a lot of people, but for For me as well, one of his books, the
• 24:32
  Bible in 24 hours and things. Yes, 66, 40 podcast as well.
• 24:36
  So yeah, yeah, he's a legend, dude.
• 24:39
  He really was, in my opinion. He was like that gray area
• 24:43
  between like the Layman to The Scholar.
• 24:46
  He was like this perfect Bridge. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:49
  So I know you're an author. Your teacher, your podcaster,
• 24:52
  your father, mr. Delgado is juggling.
• 24:55
  A lot of different things here in life.
• 24:58
  But if I remember hearing correctly back in the day, I
• 25:01
  think you were in high school at the time you were going to be a
• 25:04
  rap artist. Would you go back and change
• 25:08
  anything? If you could travel back and
• 25:10
  play out some of that scenario. But you would say, altar coming
• 25:15
  back to this reality that we live in right now.
• 25:18
  Would you still make that choice if it was a gamble?
• 25:20
  Yeah, no, it's a great question. I've given that quite a bit of
• 25:24
  copy because it was my, my dream.
• 25:29
  I actually moved to Tennessee to pursue a degree in recording
• 25:35
  because my parents sort of like demanded that I go to college.
• 25:39
  I didn't even care about that because all I cared about was
• 25:41
  rapping. So it was like if I'm going to
• 25:42
  go to college, I'm just going to study how to record.
• 25:46
  So I can record my own raps or whatever.
• 25:48
  And so I pretty much dedicated my education to that and a lot
• 25:53
  of my time to that on my thought too, that I mean, I was kind of,
• 25:57
  you know, married to this This idea of being a rapper for a
• 26:00
  while. And and so you know, there was a
• 26:03
  one point where I spoke to an A&R.
• 26:06
  I was doing an internship in New York and this is kind of the
• 26:09
  thing like you dream about like getting the opportunity to like,
• 26:13
  you know, share your music with someone who can, you know, sign
• 26:16
  you. And he he liked one of my songs
• 26:19
  that it was radio ready and he wanted to kind of continue
• 26:22
  talking, but he found out, I was moving back to Tennessee and it
• 26:27
  was kind of like, oh, Yeah I can't you know do much and so
• 26:32
  there was this you no idea that I would just you know move to
• 26:35
  New York that was always my plan was to move to a Music City and
• 26:39
  so I like you know things could pop off but I kind of made a
• 26:44
  decision. I met my wife in college and I
• 26:47
  made it, you know, I remember my mom, she told me like, what are
• 26:50
  you going to do? Because she was like, you know,
• 26:53
  the girls don't come around, you know, but once so I had to make
• 26:57
  a decision Ian, I was either going to move to New York or I
• 27:01
  was going to, you know, pursue this relationship and I do not
• 27:07
  regret that and you know, I I don't know what my life would
• 27:12
  look like. Had I hadn't done that, but I
• 27:14
  know what my life looks like. Now, I'm thankful for the life
• 27:17
  that I have, and I don't would want to change anything, but I
• 27:21
  don't know. Maybe, like, in a Multiverse
• 27:24
  somewhere. I imagine it would have been
• 27:26
  kind of dark for me. You know, I don't know if that
• 27:30
  that life was is really one that I would have wanted for myself
• 27:34
  at my is now, you know what I'm saying?
• 27:37
  So I'm glad things worked out the way they did Sam.
• 27:41
  It was an honor to have you here on the show.
• 27:43
  I really appreciate other people that can see things that I don't
• 27:47
  see to be able to sharpen on them and learn.
• 27:50
  So it's my honor to have had you here to edify me and it was
• 27:55
  entertaining. It was font.
