What a great interview with Mr Sam. We need more people like Sam in this world.

This man is a National Treasure. He throws out words of wisdom and quotable stuff that you see on posters of breakrooms at your local walmart.

[@C.V._McCullar]

The things he's done and the people he's worked with is amazing. Banjo Matthew's alone is crazy.

[@janeames1513]

maybe it's just me but Heidi sounded a little choked up right there at the end when Mr. Sam was thanking O'reilly's and speaking about how well Heidi does as an ambassador for them..i know that hit me right in the feels ..to have a person of Mr. Sam's expertise saying things like that is beyond what words can explain ..can't wait to see what "goodies" Heidi puts on her Camaro

[@FORCE_PBC]
