Mr Sam : Growing Up On A Farm, Military Career, Childhood, First Job at 11 | Behind The Shine EP1

[@BogettiStudios]

Let me know what you guys think of this. Could be a very fun series. I feel I can draw his stories out pretty well.

[@drocafella783]

Any vid with Sam is an automatic click from me! I support a Sam Series

[@FreeEricBrandt]

Sam is a national treasure. People like him are literally a dying breed, we need to learn as much as we can from his generation before all that knowledge and insight is lost forever.

[@sneezinhatch]

Love Sam's stories we need a one on one with James

[@A320NeoDrivers]

YES YES YES!!!! This MUST be a series! Weekly "Sit downs with Sam" I could listen to him forever! He needs to have someone write his biography, a weekly podcast with him could be the precursor. Coop, YOU should write it! Every weekly episode can be a chapter, I would buy that book! And Im sure many other would too!

[@tomeickhorst6787]

Sorry Coup your wrong about the Blackbird it did a lot. It had to be refueled every two hours it used special fuel that no other aircraft used the was how congress got them grounded. Do some serious research on the Blackbird then see if you think they didn’t do much

"Behind the Shine", perfect name for the series, Coop.

[@brianbartlett7313]

Definitely would love a mr sam series. Hes the type of guy who has forgotten more than more than a lot of people have learned. Could listen to him talk for hours.

[@joshblevins2063]

This could be a weekly talk with sam and it would never get old.

[@bdonkulousgames8562]

Listening to Sam made me realize how lucky I had it. Im 37, i was raised on a farm, 1930's tractors, hand tillers, chickens, cows, horses, pigs, rabbits, turkeys, opossums..We ran a wood mill, made alot of our own food, hunted and fished for meat..never anytime to relax, always something to do. Now, I work a computer related job, super tech savvy..Im so glad I got to grow up doing everything the old way. Makes me really appreciate my life now..

[@zexcthd5519]

i sadly never got to farm when i got older. When i was young my grandpa owned and operated a really successful tobacco farm. So much so he was able to retire from farming before he passed. shit he had me out there at 5 picking tobacco with the hired help wearing gloves 3 sizes too big. Im 24 now

[@zexcthd5519]

my uncle ended up taking it over and hes a raging ass who i refused to help. So he quit farming and i went and got my degree in Biological Engineering concentrated in Agriculture and dont regret a bit of it. Not the path I had in mind, but man do i fucking love it.

[@zexcthd5519]

on a side note i actually grew up in Caswell County NC. where flue cured tobacco was discovered so we were always a big tobacco farming county. Still some people around today who do it. My mom has a tobacco leaf tattoo to commemorate my grandpa.

[@willabunnjr216]

Love hearing Sam’s stories and advice. He is everyone’s favorite Grandpa. I could sit down and listen to him all day everyday.

[@chrischapman7452]

Couple genuine guys! Thank you, good time!

[@eddiegodat8263]

I could listen to Mr. Sam talk all day long.

[@claytonjohn6473]

When Sam was growing up and before, parents didnt feel they had to apologize that the kids had to get up early do chores, no power, outhouse,. Because they knew hard work developed character. When a person goes through tough times, it makes anything easier seem like the wind is at your back.

[@sneezinhatch]

100 percent you have to work to earn it, I grew up in the 80s and my parents raised me similar to Sam

[@ITIRICI]

Damn right, Clayton. Some better days behind us.

[@sirmonkey1985]

it's not that they knew hard work developed character, it was that it was the only way of life they knew. if you grew up doing X Y and Z you're more likely to raise your kid with X Y and Z whether or not you know it's the right or wrong way. end of the day kids are sponges and they'll always imitate the adults from your childhood whether they know it or not and you'll pass it down to your kids. so the only one you can blame is yourself, blaming society, social media, etc is a cop out. perfect example is my grandfather, one question i always asked him is why he stayed in the military for so long even though he'd never be able to promote above staff sergeant and his answer was always "because i didn't know how to be a father so i figured the kids would be better off without me there". he despised his father for ignoring his family yet he did the exact same thing his father did because that was the only thing he knew. guess what his kids did...

[@claytonjohn6473]

@@sirmonkey1985 True, we can tell our kids to do this or that. What they follow is the example we set for them. If the only example a kid has is a parent who acts unconfident, thats how the kid operates. They should have a class at school teaching how not to take things personal, or if someone is saying insults for no reason, the person has issues. When the kid doesnt have a good role model, they just stuff it when someone says something does something Stuffing it eventually blows up. God meant it when He said blessed for you and many generations or do the wrong thing and cursed for many generations

[@MrHondablink]

More than an hour. Should be called "Mr. Sam Shine Time." Love hearing his stories.

[@TheBigChad]

Cooper had been in Florida too long. Gotta bring him up to Montana or South Dakota, hell even a little TexArkana and see the amazing fields of all kinds we turn over year round. I run a ranch right now with 5 million acres of workable farmland. And that’s a medium sized farm. Commercial usually buys out the bigger guys but when you can see to the horizon nothing but turned soil, all around you, you realize how big America really is

[@nkmstfghost4584]

This is great, getting long form content from Mr. Sam is gold

[@ralph100pct]

Amen 🙏 onehundreadpersent 🌎

[@stymiesnerdly771]

Sam is truly a national treasure. I could sit and listen to him tell stories & praise America for hours on end. 👍

[@BlownSkillet]

Went into the Air Force in 1986, two weeks after the space shuttle blew up. Best decision I ever made! Got out, got my A & P license, and have been employed, with a major airline for 34 years, as of today. I would never have had this opportunity without the Air Force. Coming from a poor upbringing, to living comfortably. Wouldn’t trade it for anything!

[@micah119]

How can you not love Mr. Sam! I love the SR-71 also,what awesome aircraft. Great stories he has looking forward to more!

[@Stevenk770]

Listened to it on iTunes but came here to comment, I love listening to Sam, the stories of old times are fascinating.

[@caseycox7831]

I love listening to mr sam . It reminds me of talks I had with my mom before she passed. He's definitely making an impact on this generation,and it's definitely appreciated. Thank you sam for sharing your knowledge. We can learn from you.

[@g60corrado91]

At the hour and 35 minute mark, you two are spot on. This goes with almost anything too. Competition is good, but at some point, we all need to take a step and ask ourselves, "why are we doing this?" And then remember that we should still be having fun doing it too. Unless it is your literal occupation/livelihood, hobbies should still be fun, even if almost nothing goes right on a particular day.

[@markellis796]

Great stuff Cooper, one thing stands out - when you and Sam discussed the importance of churches in bad times i.e. the pandemic etc, here in the UK the church has vurtually no impact on the community, in the pandemic they simply closed their doors and were nowhere to be seen, the community looked after itself.

[@Spad68]

❤ I had the optuninity to meet Sam 2 year's ago . He's even better in person live then on TV. Definitely an American treasure. As a Canadian. It was absolutely awesome and great surprise running into Sam. Definitely a highlight of our vacation

[@naahhhbiitch6431]

Everyone needs Sam in their lives

[@GeneralMarbleMan]

I’d love to hear more from Mr. Sam! We didn’t hear much about his life story starting from after the Air Force. What a guy!

[@Aeroswine1776]

Mr Sam is like the uncle we all wish we had.

[@sirmonkey1985]

glad to see this being done not only for for the fan's but also his family. always wish i had done something like this with my grandfather to try and force him to talk about his childhood and military career but anytime you brought up Germany, Korea, or Vietnam he clammed up and refused to talk about any of it.

[@flicklife1978]

I was at work listening to this interview and it just made me work harder

[@svt1adam]

I’ve had the pleasure of bench racing with Sam and the other guys from Cleet’s shop while a friend’s shop did a rear gear in Ruby at the last Houston TX2k. I’ve never had more fun listening to anyone’s stories as I did that evening. Sam is true car guy treasure.

[@bigtruckacman]

Gotta have more Mr.Sam he's a history book in human form.

[@taylorcarson9213]

Mr. Sam should definitely start YouTubing himself playing around in his own shop and show us some secrets of Machining he has picked up over the years!!!

[@roberthelt9111]

Just love to see someone that understands its not all about money and that hard work pays off. I am lucky my dad taught me that 50 years ago. We renovated several houses and my wife and I have done 5 more over the years plus a few cars and I have been training young engineers for the 30 years

[@4113N5]

I believe these will ultimately become your most viewed videos. As the older generation leaves this earth so does all of the knowledge of how to survive with less. Not very many today can make their own soaps, butter, medicines etc. Not to mention mechanical or electrical repairs and maintenance are unthinkable today.

[@Thecleananunseenteam]

Yessir Cooper rocking the Jimmy Dale shirt let's go 💯🔥🏁🏆

[@Anthonyw421]

Love hearing Mr Sam speak reminds me of my grandfather who ive lived with half my life and lost him a year ago. Having been born in 10/31/1935 they certainly don't come luke those men and woman anymore it was a whole diff world growing up back then my gramps grew up on his uncles farm over in waymart PA gtta love and respect your elders they arent here forever

[@WhiteKnightCutlass]

Love Sam, this brought back sone memories for me, im only 53 and seen the tail end of what sam grew up in and those people are a different breed, i remember visiting my great grandpap as a kid and i was scared to death of the old outhouse you had to use at his house, and i remember thinking how strange it was great grandpap didnt have running water, then i remember being at my grandpaps and when he got home from work at the factory he went straight in the house grab his gun one of the dogs and would walk out to the woods behind his house and whatever he came home with was supper that night, needless to say when i got home from grandpaps i was hungry, then theres the 4-h memories i took dog obedience and i won first place in my age group 3 county fairs in a row, but never placed at state fair my dog always freaked out because of all the stuff going on around us in the coliseum where there were 3 judging ring going on at once, its just so amazing how far the world has come, seems like it was just a whole different life

[@WhiteKnightCutlass]

Wow 19 cents a gallon for gas, cheapest i remember was in the 60 cent range back in 86 when i turned 16 and started driving, i can remember in high school when i got payed from my after school job i would hold back $25 and that would buy my lunch for the week, fill up my car and still have a few bucks in case i wanted to do something extra, then saved the rest of my money

[@astros2021]

Sam is the best I met him the first TX2K that cleet took to texas with and literally every TX2K and FL2K i go to race at Sam remembers me by name and all he has such a good heart and is such a good soul.

[@lastboyscoutNZ]

More please 🙏

[@TheLastHonk]

Love seeing Sam on the show. You have to get yourself a custom Bogetti Studios tumbler or something, drinking out of those plastic bottles is not ideal. I'm sure Bronte knows some girl who makes them. Seems like my wife has 10 friends that do the custom tumbler thing as a side hustle.

The house i grew up in was a Old Stage Stop in Arizona. I grew up on a small family homested/farm. We grew our food, Hunted for it and more. Water came from a natural spring well. I was born in the 60s but can relate to Same and how he grew up as a child

[@wesringeisen4109]

Sam is awesome! And what's cool is I'm 25 minutes from Barnardsville right now.

[@cayminlast]

Fascinating, listening to Mr. Sam recounting his many life adventures is amazing, I can relate to some of his childhood memories of household items which are now obselete, my gramdmother always preferred using old school methods and techniques.

[@edsmith150]

I could literally listen to Sam tell stories all week

[@timothymilam732]

Sam is like a lot of those i knew as a kid, and I'd like to think i am myself. They never met a stranger, there's nothing they won't do fot just about anyone, and you can probably count the people that don't get along with on one hand, and the same for those they themselves don't get along with That's over a lifetime span I'm talking about here too. More Sam would be great but I'd like to see James interviews as well. Thanks for your effort, and I do believe you've found your place in life

My grandma in the 80’s still didn’t have running water until probably 87-88 and all three of my uncles had farms that still had old hand pump wells on them that’s where all of the kids got their water when we were out playing and messing around on the farms

[@MarkJones-sk6vk]

Great conversation. Looking forward to more.

[@TimothyKepner]

Talk about fast food and wages. I live in Nevada and had to go to California for something and had a craving for a Big Mack . I go in and order it without fries or a drink just the Hamberger. The guy at the register said that will be #17.85 with tax. What a shock!! So I was nice about it and told them to keep it and I walked out.

My rural highschool(neighbors were a notable stable/comp team) and we only have woodworking. Losing more and more skills and experience in our kids

[@matthewmccormick2417]

I hope many watch and listen. Share this with the young kids. More kids should listen to the elders like Sam and learn from them. Get off their phones and electronics and do more outside with their hands. BTW, Young parents let your young kids go outside and play in the MUD and dirt. It wont hurt them to eat some. My Dad was on the USS MIDWAY for His service. He got the chance to see and be on a new ship in 2012. He said the difference was crazy but so much the same. When on the Midway he was in charge of the ships electronics
