You've got a knack for knowing the right people to add to the team man. Because people tune in at first for the cars, but they stick around for the good attitudes and the amusing characters.
Yea what a bro. Is he never not smiling? Today we could use all the folks like that we can get. It's probably why Cleetus' show always puts me in a noticeably good mood.
Mr Sam changed the mentality of the Cleetus shop a lot. They all stepped up the quality and attention to detail when he stepped in. He took the builds to a new whole level. So grateful for the joy he brought
You must be so proud. Sam is the type of Dad everyone could wish for. I love the Tee Shirt with "Who's your Garndpa?" on it. He is a true legend, Humble and a true Gentleman.
Thank you for sharing him with us. It makes me smile every time I see Sam, and know he is having a blast. His presence and wisdom alone gives more than you’ll ever know to those boys who surround him. God bless you, and of course god bless Mr. Sam!!!
Tiffany, I know we don’t “know” your dad, but I will say based on what I have seen, he is such a hard working, smart, knowledgeable & honest man. I can’t imagine how proud you must be of him on the internet. He’s a wonderful man to us & without a doubt so so much more to his family.
Man you got to LOVE this guy !!! I am 74 years old and have been a gear head all my life. From working in a machine shop to tool and die. And have ran pro stock with some of the greats. I had my own machine shop and engine rebuilding shop for over 30 years. He is living my dream with those guys with Cleetus McFarland. You go Sam !!!!
I'm Australian BUT i think the best SAM moment on Cleetus was an episode a couple years ago called Our Ultimate SLEEPER Turbo Marauder Is Done and It's INSANE!!! Sam is driving & gases it up with 1 hand on the wheel for a bit, the laughter was pure pure joy.
Sam is one of the greatest additions to the Cleeter crew. I think it's safe to say we all love Sam. Proof that age is but a number, I hope if I make it to 79 I have Sam's energy. God Bless you sir!
Sam you’re so right. We have so much in common we are both up in years except I am about one year older than you are at 79. My adult son and I opened up a high performance engine building company about six years ago. I wasn’t made out of money but I helped my son get the money needed to open up our business he is 54. We build mainly Chevy engines because they’re easy to make a lot of horse power + if built right they’re very dependable + unlike Ford engines they’re much less expensive to build. We build engines for our 50 or so regular customers from drag boats + circle track + drag racing and so on. We can’t take on anymore customers because of our size and we will not sacrifice quality for money. Things finally were going great and then 3 months ago it happened I had a heart attack and 2 weeks later my stroke. There is something no one regardless of age can depend on and that’s their health regardless of our age. I found out a brain tumor from agent orange that I was subjected to like thousands of other troops while in Vietnam. Well my son will have our company and I have the satisfaction of knowing we did something together for one last time. You’re a sweet heart of a man Sam I only wish we could have met. Thank You Sam your a Peach, Cheers
This was hands down, one of the most heartwarming and inspirational videos I think I have ever watched. Call me an old soul, but listening to somebody who has been there and done that AND STILL just genuinely loves what he's doing brings a tear to a man's eye. Thank you Mr. Sam
I'll never forget when Cletus and crew started first taking off and James bought that big house and he comes into the shop talking about his next door neighbor It's this cool guy He's got a Corvette and a bunch of other cool stuff just a cool dude... And now we're here have fun Sam honk if you're happy
I’m Sam’s age and he’s got more energy than I ever had. Good for you Sam. I’m sure you’ve taught those younger guys some things too. Cleetus definitely has put together a great team and you are an important part of it. Happy 79th to you with more to come.👍👍🎂🎉🇨🇦
sam got that carb running good on that one motor cleet got. tuned it by ear cleet and them didn’t have an idea 😂 he’s definitely helping them in ways too
It's always great to see Mr. SAM on your videos, He always brings a smile to my face. Doesn't get to excited on the outside but you can tell he is inside 😊
This man has done more and forgotten more in his lifetime than anyone that is a fan of anything motorsports. We have adopted Mr.Sam as our crazy old grandpa/uncle and this man is the embodiment of what it is to be a gearhead. Mr.Sam keep being you and we will all stand behind you till the end. Keep being the man we all strive to be and keep the dream alive. The entire Cleetus and 1320 fan base/family is behind you! Show us young folks what it means to be the best human around and spread what you know to all of us. Sam for president!!!!!!! You have our vote!!!
Sam is an unbelievable gem. He's so great on the channel but he really shines when you get him away from all the jokey energy in the team. This video and Coop's 'Sam' episode are documentary-level quality content. I love this guy
This. I wanted to know more about Sam after Steve Morris went to his shop to fix something. I saw some of the kit in Sam's shop like the engines, machine tools, surface plate and figured there were a lot of stories to be told. Coming from a more software engineering background, I'd probably give the opposite advice to Sams. I sometimes guest speak at schools and one of my favorite ice breakers is asking the kids to put their phones on the desk. Then I ask them to make them move. Software is digital, most of the world is analogue so if you know how to bridge those worlds with some electronics and machining, pretty much anything is possible. There's an old engineers saying that if you can make a hammer, you can make anything.
There are 10’s of millions of “sams” out there. Go find one…or two, and learn from them. Sam isn’t the only one, he’s just a character of circumstance. We owe it to the older generations. Stop worshipping “UA-camrs and celebrities” and go do your service to the elders.
I have a Sam too , my friends dad a jack of all trade and when I have a question of the old racing days or the old times boy it’s just knowledge from these guys 💯
So awesome you did this feature. Sam has always been in the background of Cleetus’ videos. But, this interview showed what a genuinely kind, intelligent man he really is. He’s definitely someone I’d want in my life, so it’s understandable why Garrett wanted him around, as well.
I was in cleatus tour of destruction event and sam pass by stood next to me didn't recognize him but he had some fries and started shearing his fries with my 2yr old very great full to meet him and treating my child with kindness
talked with him last november at lemullets. just a real genuine stand up guy. a true legend in disguise! im sure he brings perspective and a sense of "hold on and lets think before we act" that im sure cleetus and the shop guys can appreciate. i could only imagine the trouble a bunch of 20 somethings could get into without a Mr. sam around to keep them focused and grounded!
My wife always takes every chance she can to talk to Mr Sam. We go to quite a few events. My wife wouldn't leave me for Ryan Reynolds but I bet Sam would give me a run for my money
I love this old man he brings a smile on my face. Every time they show him he’s one spunky, old man that has no fear of speed and I love it keep up the good work, Sam.
seeing Sam at almost 80, still keeping up with Cleet and the entire crew in pace, and still learning on top of this - having him say his life's dream is coming true that late, and Sam immediately jumping on the opportunity is so refreshing to see - i can't explain how awesome it is to see this video and to hear sam's side of everything, the passion for still learning, the work ethics and effort he puts in, and the cars he is working on himself, is so great to see and hear, i just hope he keeps on for a lot longer
Sam, Sam, Sam. The greatest grandpa uncle out there. Wild'n and feeling the true need for speed. I'm glad he got his own episode on this series. Cheers, Sam. You're the real OG, Sam.
He reminds me of my grandfather. He had so many amazing stories. And I’m sure he does too. You need to have him on for more stories. I wish I recorded my grandfathers stories. Great memories …
Mr. Sam is a Grandfather to more people than he realizes. Really enjoy watching his enthusiasm for everything. To be surrounded by younger guys, that’s the secret to Mr. Sam. Great guy
It’s really cool to get his perspective on things bc he at his age has seen a LOT change . And to hear how being a part of the Cleetus team has affected him is really inspiring
I see Sam in Publix often…met him 20 years ago when he had a detailing product company in town called “4 Star”. He’s as legit as they come. Humble, friendly, forgot more than most of us know about hit rodding. True legend.
I'm 57, I wish had half the energy Sam does. The man is a treasure. It's such a testament to Garrett, James and the rest of the guy's character to not judge a man because he's old. Always remember, he was a young ass kicker just like YOU.
This is by far the greatest video you guys have given us. I've seen sam in videos for like 5-6 years now always wanted his backstory thanks 1320 and thank you Sam you are a great member of cleetus' team
My grandfather passed at 85 in 2021. He was always a youthful spirit. Worked as long as he could and I have pictures of him that year rolling around on the floor with my kids (his great-grandkids) and laying under cars with me covered in dirt, oil and grease. Mr. Sam, although he isn't "old" and seems to have many more years ahead of him, reminds me of my grandfather with his personality, humor, and willingness to jump into whatever is going on. I pray he has many more years ahead of him.
I'm still lucky at 32 to have to grandpas and 78 and 76 my poppy at 76 still is still married to my meme for 55 years. I love them dearly. My grandmother died at 63. Tore me up Because she raised me. Keep trucking Mr Sam!
Rest in peace to your grandfather, sounds like he created so many important & cherished memories with you & his great grandchildren, what a privilege he& yourself had. He’s watching!
A real Legend right there!! Humble, honest, sincere, knowledgeable and willing to teach. Doesn't get much better. I love the shows (Cleetus, 1320, CJRC, and the others). My wife gets bored of it all, but she likes Mr. Sam too. We need to protect that man and keep him alive as long as possible.
He is so intoxicating to listen to and love this guy. Ran into him locally at Walmart one time wearing a Cleetus shirt and we talked for 5+ minutes about how cool it is what he does and at that time an upcoming trip.
Best part of all of this, can't thank Kyle enough for pushing Garrett to go for it. Another thing, we got 2 awesome channels out of this and it's a wonderful time to be involved in cars and racing. Thanks Kyle and Garrett for making great content and being genuine🎉
Glad I came across you guys . My first video on here was Cletus and his wife helping people get out of that terrible flood with his own helicopter . I was hooked following you great Americans . Got a big kick out of my first video of all this gentleman’s cars . Was very exciting to see both of you guys meeting up on this one .
Sam, I know you're up there in there in the years. You can't leave us though. I don't know that I've ever seen a more real and humble man. You're adventure from the start has been absolutely amazing to follow. You appreciation and humbleness hits us all in our hearts. You're always positive and fearless when behind the wheel. Your happiness shines through and the entertainment you provide is absolutely priceless.
If your grandpa was anything like Sam he was a treasure, I’m sorry that he’s passed on. I’m not trying to preach to ya but I believe that you’ll see him again.
Wow ! Thank's SAM, Thanks 1320... and Thanks to Cleetus also for making this happen and sharing this with me, "The Fan", the guy who's gonna show up next year at the drags and share a laugh with all y'all..
Sam wasn't adopted.. I get what your saying. But Sam to me is the friend that just clicked!! Sky's the limit with a man like himself!! Not hating on your comment just going along with it.. But man.. we all know we can listen to this man everyday! He is Definitely genuine!! Love it!!
You can’t be for certain that he leaves the earth before you do even if your 20 years old! This guy could easily live another 15 years while someone younger could get in a car wreck get cancer etc!
You rock SAM! Everybody LOVES you. I just want to give you 99 man hugs! lol I'm 67 and have massive respect for you. You are a great addition to Cleetus's channel. I hope your loving life and God bless you. "Don't go changing" ❤ On top of all that sappy stuff, you do great work!
Sam is forever a legend in the game! He never once cried never once complained! Never had an excuse he just wakes up and pushes for success but also makes sure his team is looking good! He’s proof of hard work pays off but also never quit chasing your dreams! We love you sam!!! Much love to the whole crew from Fort Worth TX
I so enjoyed this not only him sharing how he got to where he is and what he has accomplished but his take on life. I would tell anyone if you look at this video at least go to 11:00 and watch for 1 minute. At 68 years old his advice is so on target for everyone including myself and I was glad to be reminded of it. Thanks Mr. Sam! You were such a joy to watch. Time well spent!
Sam is the old guy I love talking to at the tire shop while waiting for my turn. Full of knowledge and experiences that people today couldn't even comprehend let alone imagine
Samuel is the grandfather everyone wants. What a personality and such a humble man for the whole Mcfarland team. I wish i had a grandfather with such al lot knowledge about old school drag racing and caburator race engines. I love that guy. ❤
Sam is f**king awesome, I'm in my 40s and cleetus is my favorite channel but I feel out the loop the how young they r, then Sam came around. He's my hero we all can only hope to live a life like he has. Long live sam
Thank you for this! As an avid follower of both 1320 and cleet, it's awesome to include Sam. He is definitely an added asset to the channel. Can't wait to see both crews next year on some drive and drag events!
absolute legend of a fella, the stories sam has, the knowledge hes passing down to the younger guys, Cleetus is a hell of a dude, thank you kyle for everything!
Sam is such a freaking gem and it's wonderful to learn more about him. These old timers that stay young at heart with 80 years of wisdom accumulated and stored up are absolute treasure troves of knowledge and expertise. Thanks for this 1320, and thank you Sam for being a wonderful man with a passion for cars. Also that yellow vette is absolutely gorgeous. Nice wheel and tire choice Sam. That car is beautiful.
Hey Sam I wanted to say that you’ve been a great influence in my life. I’m 15 and trying to get into building cars, and you and the Cleetus team have been a big inspiration for me and I now have started working at my friend’s dad’s car shop. Thank you!
Golden wisdom! Thank you Sam for sharing and thanks 1320 for highlighting him! It's a privilege to listen to people that have lived more seasons of life than us "young folk lol" share wisdom they've learned from REAL experience! That's gold
I could listen to Sam talk about life all day! I've spoken to Sam a couple times at events and he reminds me very much of my late grandfather. Love it!!
Dude, I love Cleets crew so much. I was so stoked when he brought Mr. Sam in. Like, every video of the boys and Mr. Sam having the best times of their lives makes me so happy.
I’m still wondering “who is that old guy” haha 😂 love Mr. Sam
You've got a knack for knowing the right people to add to the team man. Because people tune in at first for the cars, but they stick around for the good attitudes and the amusing characters.
haha! right.... we learn more about him all the time
The Lord broke the mold when he made Mr. sam.. one of a kind gentleman l..
Mr. Sam is such a humble guy with so much life experience. I'm sure you have learned a thing or two from that gentleman.
You and me both, everyone needs to have a Mr sam their life❤
Stoked Sam gets his own episode on 1320! That's dope!
i didn't even realised it was 1320 channel and not cleetus lol
Why did you change the thumbnail?
Yea what a bro. Is he never not smiling? Today we could use all the folks like that we can get. It's probably why Cleetus' show always puts me in a noticeably good mood.
@@Dssfoxsame 😂
I am only 50 years younger than Sam, already have less hair.
Mr Sam changed the mentality of the Cleetus shop a lot. They all stepped up the quality and attention to detail when he stepped in. He took the builds to a new whole level.
So grateful for the joy he brought
whole new level*
Sam's attention to detail wore off on them for sure!
One of the best additions to the Cleetus team!
Icing on the cake for sure.
For real I love seeing Sam in videos he's just so funny and an all round amazing guy 🤣
That recent episode when they caught sam on top of a car...😅😅
@brian400ex1 bro that had me in stitches
It will be a sad day if neighbor 2.0 ends up needing to be made.
Thank you guys so much for doing this amazing video of my Dad!!! This will be a memory for a lifetime for his grandchildren.
You must be so proud. Sam is the type of Dad everyone could wish for. I love the Tee Shirt with "Who's your Garndpa?" on it. He is a true legend, Humble and a true Gentleman.
Thank you for sharing him with us. It makes me smile every time I see Sam, and know he is having a blast. His presence and wisdom alone gives more than you’ll ever know to those boys who surround him. God bless you, and of course god bless Mr. Sam!!!
Tiffany, I know we don’t “know” your dad, but I will say based on what I have seen, he is such a hard working, smart, knowledgeable & honest man. I can’t imagine how proud you must be of him on the internet.
He’s a wonderful man to us & without a doubt so so much more to his family.
God gave you a special blessing and you get to call him Dad ❤
hold up.. ol' Sam's a literal grampa too?? THIS IS INFO I NEEDED ❤❤❤
Man you got to LOVE this guy !!! I am 74 years old and have been a gear head all my life. From working in a machine shop to tool and die. And have ran pro stock with some of the greats. I had my own machine shop and engine rebuilding shop for over 30 years. He is living my dream with those guys with Cleetus McFarland. You go Sam !!!!
DO IT FOR SAM!
This needs to be on a shirt!!!
Sam makes me wonder what ed would be up to these days
@@JordanFurlong-hj9ok Sam is Ed just in a different form.
Hell ye brother!
Not yet brother.........
I'm Australian BUT i think the best SAM moment on Cleetus was an episode a couple years ago called
Our Ultimate SLEEPER Turbo Marauder Is Done and It's INSANE!!!
Sam is driving & gases it up with 1 hand on the wheel for a bit, the laughter was pure pure joy.
For a bit? Buddy, Mr.Sam had that thing floored for 2 business days 😂
Yeah I remember that !!!
Everybody loves Sam & boy does he keep stuff shiny!
Sam had em all scared 💩less. It was golden content. Sam has nerves of steel
The faster he went the bigger his smile got😀😄😁
Sam has become a National Treasure! He is the grandpa/dad that everyone would be lucky to have! Great video!
Sam is a gem. He doesn't talk or act like his age but man is he packed with all the knowledge. Living the time of his life surrounded by good people.
And the fact he still admits he learns lots from Cleet and the gang, he's such a humble man. Genuinely one of the coolest people
Sam is one of the greatest additions to the Cleeter crew. I think it's safe to say we all love Sam. Proof that age is but a number, I hope if I make it to 79 I have Sam's energy. God Bless you sir!
I hope I have his energy if I make it to 40😂. Sam is amazing and seems like he's always up for any shenanigans those guys get into.
I’ve never met Sam but I love the guy, he’s a great man and a great addition to the channel

Oh yea I forgot about that.
Which episode was that? I been digging through them and can’t find it😅
I’m Sam’s age and he’s got more energy than I ever had. Good for you Sam. I’m sure you’ve taught those younger guys some things too. Cleetus definitely has put together a great team and you are an important part of it. Happy 79th to you with more to come.👍👍🎂🎉🇨🇦

Glad I came across you guys . My first video on here was Cletus and his wife helping people get out of that terrible flood with his own helicopter . I was hooked following you great Americans .
Got a big kick out of my first video of all this gentleman’s cars . Was very exciting to see both of you guys meeting up on this one .
Mr Sam is the most lovable human being one can encounter.
What I took from this is to stay hungry and keep hustling. Sam is an inspiration man.
That man is so genuine, hard to find people like that these days! Always rooting for ya Sam!
Sam is one of the most genuine people ever. Love seeing him on the channel and enjoying his retirement.
Mr. Same is a legend, super kind and genuine person. Happy he became a part of one of the best teams on youtube.
Sam, I know you're up there in there in the years. You can't leave us though. I don't know that I've ever seen a more real and humble man. You're adventure from the start has been absolutely amazing to follow. You appreciation and humbleness hits us all in our hearts. You're always positive and fearless when behind the wheel. Your happiness shines through and the entertainment you provide is absolutely priceless.
Sam reminds me of my late grandpa. It brings a big smile to my face seeing him fooling around with the crew.
If your grandpa was anything like Sam he was a treasure, I’m sorry that he’s passed on. I’m not trying to preach to ya but I believe that you’ll see him again.
Love Sam's positivity. He's such a great influence for the Cleetus crew and it's good to see them acknowledge his value.
Wow ! Thank's SAM, Thanks 1320... and Thanks to Cleetus also for making this happen and sharing this with me, "The Fan", the guy who's gonna show up next year at the drags and share a laugh with all y'all..
Sam adds a certain spark to the Cleetus team that is so awesome. Gotta love the guy! Great video, guys!
SAM! I love watching videos with Sam because he’s so knowledgeable and has such a wonderful personality. Please stay healthy brother!
I sure am gonna miss Uncle Sam when he’s gone. I think it’s awesome how they’ve adopted him and he fits in with the crew perfectly
Sam wasn't adopted.. I get what your saying. But Sam to me is the friend that just clicked!! Sky's the limit with a man like himself!! Not hating on your comment just going along with it.. But man.. we all know we can listen to this man everyday! He is Definitely genuine!! Love it!!
You can’t be for certain that he leaves the earth before you do even if your 20 years old! This guy could easily live another 15 years while someone younger could get in a car wreck get cancer etc!
Sams gonna live forever!
@@jimmycline4778 for sure!!! He'll I hope he lives another 60!
statistically more likely one of the other cleetus team memeber dies first before mr sam
You rock SAM! Everybody LOVES you. I just want to give you 99 man hugs! lol
I'm 67 and have massive respect for you. You are a great addition to Cleetus's channel.
I hope your loving life and God bless you. "Don't go changing" ❤
On top of all that sappy stuff, you do great work!
This is needed. TY. We have so much respect for Sam. Glad to see his story by him.
How could anyone not like Sam. He's one genuine dude, he keeps up with all those young kids. Way to go Sam way to go!
I can't tell you how much I love and respect this man. He landed on the dream team at his age when already living a great life!
Sam is forever a legend in the game!
He never once cried never once complained! Never had an excuse he just wakes up and pushes for success but also makes sure his team is looking good!
He’s proof of hard work pays off but also never quit chasing your dreams!
We love you sam!!!
Much love to the whole crew from Fort Worth TX
I so enjoyed this not only him sharing how he got to where he is and what he has accomplished but his take on life. I would tell anyone if you look at this video at least go to 11:00 and watch for 1 minute. At 68 years old his advice is so on target for everyone including myself and I was glad to be reminded of it. Thanks Mr. Sam! You were such a joy to watch. Time well spent!
Sam is the old guy I love talking to at the tire shop while waiting for my turn. Full of knowledge and experiences that people today couldn't even comprehend let alone imagine
Samuel is the grandfather everyone wants. What a personality and such a humble man for the whole Mcfarland team. I wish i had a grandfather with such al lot knowledge about old school drag racing and caburator race engines. I love that guy. ❤
Everybody loves Sam and should be more like him.. what a guy.
As a Sam myself at almost 21 years old, I aspire to be like Mr. Sam when I grow up. What an amazing gentleman.
Thank you 1320! By far one of my favorite episodes to date.
I've watched every episode of Cleetus. I love Mr. Sam. Thanks for making this. I could listen to Sam talk for hours!
Mr Sam is a icon. I was able to meet him at sick week nothing but positivity. Brent and Sam would be iconic for a drag and drive team
Sam is f**king awesome, I'm in my 40s and cleetus is my favorite channel but I feel out the loop the how young they r, then Sam came around. He's my hero we all can only hope to live a life like he has. Long live sam
Thank you for this! As an avid follower of both 1320 and cleet, it's awesome to include Sam. He is definitely an added asset to the channel. Can't wait to see both crews next year on some drive and drag events!
The crew that Cleetus has put together is nothing short of amazing.
absolute legend of a fella, the stories sam has, the knowledge hes passing down to the younger guys, Cleetus is a hell of a dude, thank you kyle for everything!
Now this is what I needed today!
I'm an old guy and those are possibly the best words of wisdom I've seen on Utube....Love you Sam....
Sam is such a freaking gem and it's wonderful to learn more about him. These old timers that stay young at heart with 80 years of wisdom accumulated and stored up are absolute treasure troves of knowledge and expertise. Thanks for this 1320, and thank you Sam for being a wonderful man with a passion for cars.
Also that yellow vette is absolutely gorgeous. Nice wheel and tire choice Sam. That car is beautiful.
I hope to end up like Sam down the road….he’s an absolute inspiration on all levels.
Mr. Sam has the best attitude in the car scene!
Thanks for this video... as someone who is a bit older (54), I enjoy seeing Mr. Sam! He shows that one is never too old to learn!
You know cleet is stoked to have sam.
And you just know Sam reminds cleet of neighbor
The Hardest Thumbnail of 2024 🔥🔥 Mr.Sam is a Legend 🙏
Hey Sam I wanted to say that you’ve been a great influence in my life. I’m 15 and trying to get into building cars, and you and the Cleetus team have been a big inspiration for me and I now have started working at my friend’s dad’s car shop. Thank you!
I LOVE SAM! He reminds me of my grandfather(s) and gives me something to aspire to become in my retirement.
4:00 Sam's the BEST!!!
Golden wisdom! Thank you Sam for sharing and thanks 1320 for highlighting him! It's a privilege to listen to people that have lived more seasons of life than us "young folk lol" share wisdom they've learned from REAL experience! That's gold
Great guy. Sam The Man 🗣️
The fact that he's been on something like 10 UA-cam channels at this point is amazing.
I could listen to Mr.Sam talk for hours.
Ruby... "that thang was awful" haaaaa 😂
Sam is a national treasure. I love meeting old people like him who have the most amazing stories and wealth of information to pass down.
Sam is so well spoken and just thoroughly enjoys what he does. Thanks for the inspriation!
The cleetus family absolutely loves you Mr Sam you are a national treasure.
This guy is a national treasure.
I could listen to Sam talk about life all day! I've spoken to Sam a couple times at events and he reminds me very much of my late grandfather. Love it!!
Mr. Sam is an absolute Gem. America’s Grandpa 14:10
This man is a national treasure
Dude, I love Cleets crew so much. I was so stoked when he brought Mr. Sam in. Like, every video of the boys and Mr. Sam having the best times of their lives makes me so happy.
