From MasterChef to Ukraine: Noah Sims on Purpose, War Zones & Serving Others | Ep 27

Hi everyone, Sam here. I just want to let you know this is not a normal episode for us and we considered whether or not to post it. And we went back to our core of hearing people's story, talking about what they're building, how they're trying to solve problems, and that's what this is. But just to be fully transparent, here is a disclosure so you know what you're about to listen to. A friendly disclaimer, this episode contains strong language and passionate opinions that are those of our guests, not necessarily Killer Growth. Listener discretion is advised. The Killer Growth podcast starts now. I'm Sam McVeigh, the host of the Killer Growth podcast. And today I have Richard Noah Sims. I've only ever known you by Noah Sims. My mother is the only person that says that when she's upset with me. Okay, settle down, Richard. It's okay. Yes, Richard Noah Sims. I'm like, oh boy, oh boy. Noah is currently in Ukraine feeding orphans and widows and has quite the story. So I'm excited to talk to you today. Thanks for making time, man. I know you're crazy busy. Yeah, well, I appreciate you having me out to your studio in warm Kansas right now. What a place it is, you know. The mountains, gorgeous. Best state in America, hands down. Boy, that is, I didn't know, is this a far right podcast? We're already spreading disinformation already? Hold on, hit the brakes. Libtard podcast far left. Let me just start off with a blanket statement. Kansas, finest state in the union. Said no one ever. Have you seen our hills though? You know, our hills are mountains. You know, we just stand around and look at the cows on the hills. When I'm describing Kansas, when I describe Kansas to the Ukrainians, when they're asking questions, which no one ever asks questions about Kansas. So when I'm explaining when bad things are happening in America, Indiana and Kansas are normally the ones that I go at. If we want to talk about, you know, grammatical errors and, you know, the literacy rates would go, of course, to Mississippi and Alabama. But when we're talking about the non-natural splendor of the state, it's Kansas and Indiana. Oh, man. Well, I mean, well, I appreciate you're in Indiana, correct? Or from? No, no, definitely. Oh, you're not. Well, okay. Now I take serious offense. I thought you're making fun of your home state. No, no, because I'm from I'm from the greatest. I am from the greatest state, of course, which is Georgia. There's no there's no state like Georgia. I mean, when I explain that to the Ukrainians about that, I come from God's country. I can go for four months about Georgia because you can talk about, you know, well, we have these incredible mountains, which not a lot of people know, which now you and I will know this. The oldest mountain range in the world is the Appalachian Mountains. So we get to stand in those wisdom hills. And then I'm like, you know, let's go down to a really cool, awesome, you know, southern entertaining spot there in Savannah. And I'm like, you know, let's go to a private island also in our state, St. Simons Island, or we can go to the the plains of Georgia or we can go to awesome cities like Athens and Atlanta. I mean, it's got it all. It's got it all. And the people are superior. They're better looking. They're stronger. They're smarter. I mean, the hair. What are you guys? What are you guys eating over there? The hair is luxurious. The hair is pretty. The hair is really it is really it's powerful right now. It's really it's some it's some kind I've never had a beard either. So this is a new thing having long hair and a beard. Well, I loved Atlanta, Georgia. I've been there once. But we'll we'll jump off that topic. Agree to disagree. Kansas versus Georgia. I guess we're just going to move on. No comparison. I agree. Thank you, sir. All right. Now, let's hear your story from your you leave high school. Give us your journey from that moment to what brought you to where you're at today. And what time block? Would you like this, sir? You I mean, on average, I feel like people kind of rush through this story. And then we kind of talk about the details in between. But you recruited not a not an amateur. So like, that's why I'm talking like, yeah, you can edit this out and blip this out. You need to like 15 minutes synopsis of 22 years of my life. Right. Yeah. 10 minutes preferred. I if I tell you 10, you're going to give me 20. So maybe let's go five. Give me 15. Gotcha. 15. Gotcha. All right. So after after high school, I moved down to a place called Kennesaw when I was 18 years old. And I wasn't going to college. I wanted to start working, wanted to move out of my house. So I went to a temp agency, which I didn't even know what a temp agency was at the time. And they put me to work at a box factory where I was making Pepperidge Farm boxes from four thirty in the morning to three thirty in the evening. Sometimes I would drive 30 minutes to this factory and I wouldn't even have work that day. So it was really extremely hard job, but it paid pretty well. I had no money. I would have to wear the gloves with the glue on them to work because I didn't have enough money to do that, like barely affording the gas to get there, just trying to establish and didn't have heat in my truck. So I'd be like Ace Ventura with goggles hanging my head out the window to make sure I didn't flip a car like real deal stuff. And I did this. I was the only white guy at a three hundred and thirty employees. So they called me Hank Hill. The lunchroom of that place, I can't explain to you the most interesting, like forty five different microwaves in a big sea. And you'd have probably 30 different countries working there. It's like the United Nations of box making West African, Senegal, Cambodia and Laotian. No white people, though I was the only white person, which made it very interesting. I learned a lot. I learned a lot of Atlanta ebonics being from the mountains. I was never around that. So I learned a lot of culture, but it was such a miserable job. So one day I just was like, man, I need a treat. I need something. So I go to this ice cream shop that's called Cold Stone Creamery and I walk in and I hear this guy cussing under his breath and he's under the sink and and I'm looking and I'm like, hey, man, do you need help? And he's like, do you know how to do plumbing? Well, my family ran a giant massive septic system company. So, yeah, I did know how to do a lot of plumbing. So I go back there, show him what to do, fix it. He goes, well, what do you work? And I was like, well, I work at this box factory. Like, well, do you want a job? I'm like, absolutely. So within a week, I became store manager. 19 store manager that Cold Stone Creamery within a month, I kind of revolutionized what they did because I felt like a complete punk ass bitch by people putting dollar bills into this jar and I'd have to sing for him. And I was like, the hell I'm going to sing for some some bitch after I make ice cream for you and I'm going to like dance like a jester like that's not going to happen. So your reception cut out a bocce, your reception cut out for a second. But you did take the job at Cold Stone. Then they asked you to sing and dance for dollar bills. I think we're on. Yeah, so I became a stripper for Cold Stone Creamery and I was not a stripper. I wasn't some baby back punk. So I decided to instead of getting my employees to sing every single time that someone tipped them a dollar or they'd be waving a dollar like, you know, do something monkey. I started teaching people how to do a bocce with ice cream. So I started spinning the spades, throwing the ice cream, taking the hot or the hot caramel bottles, flipping it like doing a flare for ice cream. Well, sales skyrocketed. Our tips went through the roof. We could tell the customer to go fly a kite if they're trying to tip us the same because that wasn't it. I worked doing that job and completely turned it around until my boss told me one day that we're shutting down. And I'm like, OK, headed to Florida. But what do you mean? She was like, we're completely shutting down. I'll tell you later. Come to find out this guy was embezzling and embezzling from companies and the FBI had to get call in. You didn't see this coming, did you? FBI came in, him and his wife were running like this big racket. And like it was. It was a big problem, clearly enough to where he gave me like two hours before I was going to Panama City to tell me that everything's shutting down. So he said, don't tell anybody. I'm like, OK, well, that's ridiculous. So I tell everybody that works for me. Listen, you don't have a job anymore. I don't have a job anymore. So what I need y'all to do tonight is whatever you want to sell in here for the prices that you want to sell it to, if you want to sell whole tubs of ice cream for fifty dollars, whatever the hell you want to do to make you some money before you don't have a job, just do that. Well, they listen. So I get a call from we'll just say RF is his initials because I don't feel like getting sued because this is going to be shown around the world. So I don't want him to come for me. Probably dead. But he calls me, cussing me out. I've been like, I told you not to tell them. Like, why the hell is there a few RF on on the window? Why is there no ice cream? There's everything's missing. There's no ice cream in here. And I'm like, interesting. Well, I don't know. I think you were shutting down. So I think they're trying to help you move all this stuff out. So that was the end of my my career as a I don't even know what to be called. An ice cream guy. Yes. Ice cream stripper. So after my ice cream stripper days were over, I went to a college called Dalton State where I was going doing business administration. I was doing that for a couple of years. My grandma had emphysema. So I wanted to move in with her to take care of her. And all of this is in North Georgia. So I moved back home to, I moved back home to McKaysville and move in with my grandma. And I'm commuting to L.A. J campus to do my schooling. Well, then I get this letter in the mail that is North Georgia culinary, you know, applications are coming in. I was like, well, shoot, let me see about that. I call them up. I give them my grades. I have something called the Hope Scholarship. So if you had over a three point GPA, you had free tuition. So I get all my stuff done. They give me free tuition. I sign up and I'm like, all right, now we're in culinary school. So now I'm in culinary school. My instructor, Rick Tullis, became a mentor of mine. All the while, I'm working in the restaurants in front of the house because I'm like three hundred and forty pounds at this time. So I'm massive. I'm so God damn. And you're really tall, like you're real tall. Yeah, six, yeah, six, seven, three forty. I mean, I was bigger than anyone drafted in the NFL for 15 years straight. Like either I was taller or fatter than everyone drafted in the NFL for like 15. It's like really not a good thing, but too big to work in kitchens. So I was a master in front of the house, trained people on front of the house, did absurdly well doing being like a maitre d. It was always very easy for me to do for the house because I love people and I have an exceptional memory. So being able to go up to the same table three months after they came and start telling them about what they like, the same thing. Would you like the same drink? And I mean, like, holy crap, did that for a couple of years until my grandmother passed away. When my grandmother passed away, I wanted to move to Athens, Georgia, and then attend the University of Georgia, which I never got to do. But I moved to Athens. What was wild about moving to Athens? This is one of those Ripley, believe it or not, but my grandmother's grave. This is exactly how it happened. I call up this guy named Cole, who was the real estate agent. Cole Barks was his name. And I asked him for an apartment. This is 2000 and 2012, 2012 or 2011 or 2000. I think it's 2011. And I'm like, hey, my best friend, Jake, rents from you. Love to see some apartments like, all right, I got I got a couple. So we go over to this apartment complex. And as soon as I walk in, I'm like, well, this place feels like home. Like, what a what an amazing energy. How much is it a month? Like 650. I'm like 650 all power, all water, all everything. Like, yeah. Like, what a deal. Great. Awesome. So when I'm moving over, my dad and me bring the U-Haul over and I get out of the truck and my dad's like, wow, this is either a good omen or a bad omen. But I used to live in these apartments. And I was like, wow, that's really weird, because he went to the University of Georgia and graduated in 1972. So 40 years later, I'm living in a same apartment complex. But oh, wait, there's more. I'm like, which apartment did you live in? He's like, that one right on the end. I remember pulling my inebriated self up those guardrails. I was like, oh, well, that's really weird, because that's also the apartment that I'm moving in to be one. My dad goes wide as it goes. So we open the door. My dad's looking around like, my gosh, he's like, they've renovated it, but it's the same floor plan. He's like, we rented this room out for the assistant swim coach, because my dad was like Olympic grade swimmer. Here, pause real quick. Hey, Noah, if you can hear me, pause real quick. I was like, well, how much is that a month? He's like a hundred. Oh, I think we lost him. Yeah. Hold on one second. OK, it's catching up. Yeah, you were disconnected. Hello. Can you can you hear me? Well, there's air raid sirens going on. There's air raid sirens going on right now. So connection just goes to complete kaput. Yeah. So from perspective, we didn't even have less likely. Yeah, I did, because this is the least likely time that we're going to get killed. Right. That's that's important. For me to try. Oh. Yeah, and we can go. Oh, hold on. That's so moved in Miami. Yeah. Hold on real quick. Yeah. So for which we didn't really. This will be in the which this will be in the title for everybody listening. But Noah is in Ukraine right now. On his iPhone. Yeah, maybe switch to do you do Wi-Fi or cellular? I've got there. I'm using cellular now, so we're going to give it cellular to try and see the cell service over here. Can you hear me? Yeah. Great. Excellent. So cell phones are extremely expensive over here for me to have unlimited data range across for a whole month is seven dollars. It makes me so upset about America. We can't even get started talking about seven dollars. And it's amazing. I walk into the phone store, I hand them my phone. I'm I literally ask them in Ukrainian for a large phone card and then they put in my phone and I'm out of the store in three minutes. I give them seven dollars and thirty five cents for a unlimited, absurdly fast Internet phone. Seven dollars. Wow. Blows my mind. Yeah. So I haven't had a cell phone in America in a year. I don't have a cell phone in America. I can I just cut off service. I was like, I'm the hell of the man. I don't need it anymore. So back to my story with my dad, I stayed in the same apartment there. I lived there for four years. I worked in some of the finest restaurants in Athens. I learned an absurd amount about me. Moved moved to Murphy, North Carolina, to be a service advisor for Kia North America. They were 717 out of 717 on customer service. And they called me and said, hey, we think you're the guy to fix this, because that's what I am as a problem solver. You know, we do not have problems. We have solutions. I'm a responder, not a reactor. So that's perfect for being a service advisor. Within eight months of being a service advisor, I was going to university and explaining to them how now we were top eight in customer service in the country. It's very simple. I didn't lie. I believe that people that lie to do anything sells, they're lying to you. They're not selling you. Salesmen are taking a product that they can believe in and being able to let the the audience understand the product better, where they can know if it is for them or it's not for them, because all products are not for everybody. And a lot of weak ass, spineless, dipshit salesmen don't understand that. Well, when you're selling service to like Mrs. Nancy, Mrs. Nancy, I look at is like my grandma or Mrs. Adams or Mrs. It does not matter any Jane Doe that comes into that place. I treated them because I hated service advisors so much with a passion. So I became one to show them how their slithering snake lays were obsolete. So he wanted me to start doing it the other way and like push my sales more, because if I did lie, I could have made even more, even though I broke every single record they had. They still want it. So, of course, them offering me a lot of money, I told them to go fuck yourself. I didn't need that because I'm not going to bend my my principles for anybody. I will never sell out. I don't care what it is. I'm going to do it my way. Really surprising. You don't you don't come off like a guy who beats goes by the beat. No, no, I will. I will kick myself down the road like a like a worthless can if I think that I'm not worthy of their lives, you know, I'm like, all right, good riddance. And I'm a tumbleweed in the wind for you. So I then immediately went back to doing septic, working, doing septic as much as I possibly could. I then moved down because I was dating somebody in Atlanta, went down to Atlanta when I was in Atlanta. My best friend sent me a message that in a nutshell told me that don't be a bitch. You need to try out for this TV show called Masterchef. And at the time, again, I'm working for AT&T as a salesman. And I'm the only white guy in the salesforce, 36 different people. I'm the only white guy. And I shatter every single record they have. I even Bambino it. I literally tell them exactly how this is going to go and how I'm going to smash the shit out of every single record they've ever had. And I did like they have like one of the records that they said was good for like a year and a half with someone signing up five people in a day for a table. I did seven on my third day out. So like it was bada bing, bada boom. But I hated it because I hate AT&T, but I love the product. I had the best Internet. I thought they had the best Internet at the time in Atlanta. I thought it was extremely good product. But I hated the company because I think they're shysters. So it was really a dichotomy. But my buddy told me that I went down to this. I absolutely knocked it out of the park. Every single thing in that audience or audition I thought had purpose. And it was super cool being smarter than everybody else that was there because nobody was understanding what the hell was going on. Are you were you were you also the most humble person in the room to on top of that? Yeah, well, that's why I'm humble. Listen, it's the call balls and strikes whenever something is like again, like I said, you've never met anybody that has failed more than I have. But when daddy's cooking, son, sit down. OK, so this was this was a situation where every single thing was a complete trick or a trap to see how you could adjust to what they were throwing at you. And everyone else was walking around about as proficient. It's Helen Keller in a round room looking for a corner. This is not our normal format. This is cracking me up. This whole podcast is going to be hard for me to ask you questions because I'm just going to be laughing. Yes. Four minutes of your 15 minutes. I have four more minutes. Yeah. So your MasterChef tryout is what we're talking about right now. MasterChef tryout. We had to bring it. We had to bring a dish that literally had to be presented in five minutes. We could not use any heating to be able to warm it up. So naturally, my brain went into I'm going to make a beef tartar because I can bring a cooler and I can make my own bread and I can have my quail eggs in individual containers and I can just assemble it. So that's what I did. First test, though, was as soon as you're coming up the escalator, they hand you these signs to see what kind of personality you have. And then all these people like sitting here like a like they're in a morgue. And I'm like a traffic control guy. Like I'm like, I'm full idiot, like full like Dustin Hoffman grade. Like I look like I have a closed head injury, but they start laughing and send me down the hall. I sit in this room of 60 people start talking to everybody. We go into the other room without there's 20 people. We assemble our dish before we start assembling our dish. I'm literally talking to every single person. I know you'd never know that, but I'm talking to every single person to see who does not who does not belong here. Well, as soon as this woman named Natalia starts talking, she has a British accent. So immediately I know Natalia is not just someone that looks like she's not important. Start talking with her, shooting the shit per usual. And they like my dish. I go into this room where they're separating 10 and 10. They split the room. We're standing there like, OK, I think we moved on. Like, how do you know? I was like, because I'm going to get this golden ticket. I know that if you're in this group, we're moving on. Well, again, Mr. Humble, just, you know, some people say, well, it's not really humble. It's like a lot of people can't handle real world. Like if someone's dominating and they say I'm dominating, it's manifesting. Like they're just saying what they're going to do. And they believe it. They taste it. They see it. The good Lord is behind them. Weak people are like, I don't know about this guy. He seems kind of cocky, maybe a little arrogant. Prove me wrong. Prove me wrong. Then that's the whole that's the whole pit of that. So go in magically. We're standing in front of Natalia. Hi, Natalia. Everyone looks right. How does no one know who this person is? Well, here we are talking, shooting the shit. Guess what? Room splits again. Five hundred and five. Guess what? Same thing again. Do you think we're going ahead? A hundred percent. I'm getting this ticket today. No question. I'm going to L.A. So then they give us the golden ticket. And I think it's over. No, we have five more auditions. Psychological evaluation, which was just a load of shit. Five hundred and sixty three questions. I thought it was to make sure no psychopaths and crazy people weren't able to get on the show. No, it was to get on. I wasn't that. Thank you. Clearly, clearly. So as to balance the yin and yang of the situation. So I have to go through all this. They call me. They tell me after all of this stuff, months and months that they want me to fly out to L.A. Go out to L.A. Immediately in the Marriott Hotel, I assess the situation. I have eighty five people. I walk up to two people, Sarah and Nick, and say, hi, my name is Noah Sims, and I'm going to beat you two in the finale. I was wrong. I was wrong. Sarah got second. Nick got third and I got four. I did not see Mrs. Dorian winning it, but it was a hell of an experience. I memorized every single person's name in the hotel so I could move with impunity. I memorized one hundred twenty seven people's names on set so that I could be like Tony from Baltimore talking about Baltimore beef. I thought it would be good to become allies with everybody that was trying to make me look good. Great fucking plan. That worked great. So going against the game, understanding is TV and doing everything I can. I was very happy with where I ended, even though I knew from top 16 all the way to the bottom when they were going home. You could see it happening. The writers were always saying, you're the only person that says you're going to win this. Nobody else has that confidence. I'm like, well, yeah, if you don't screw me, I'm going to dominate as I've done this whole season. Well, they screwed me. So didn't win. One of the best things that ever happened to me. I formed a group with people from that show called the Master Buds. Nick, Sherry, Evan, Sam, Sue McKinney became best friends with them. Lifelong friends. I was I was really I was really blown away with the friendships that I made from that. But one of the friendships that I made with a guy named Jamie Ho, where he said, I run this thing called Southeastern Relief Fund. And everyone always tells me that they'll help me. But whenever push comes to shove, they won't. I'm like, OK, well, I'll be your huckleberry. You just need to tell me when the hell to saddle up and I'll do it. So September comes. And I'm supposed to go to my buddy Nick Giovanni's apartment and I'm going to surprise him with his girlfriend. I'm going to be in a box. I'm going to pop out of the box and it's going to be hilarious. That's a massive and he calls me. I was going to be in a box. It was going to be it was going to be a dick in a box. Is Richard, you get it? Dick in a box. But anyway, so I get a call that a hurricane. You got it. Sam, you're a little slow on that, but it's OK. I get a call that a storm called Dorian levels levels this place called the Bahama Hope Town, the Abacos. And I'm like, OK, perfect. I'll go to that instead of the watch party for the semifinals, which was a plan. And I'm committed to helping these people. So I go down to Hope Town. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done. I'm cooking food from four thirty in the morning till ten. I am meeting unbelievable amounts of people. I'm building stoves out from resorts. I'm going into resorts and like taking all their meat before it literally rots. It is a hell of an experience, like big, big luau pits to fill in with charcoal and put the meat in aluminum foil. An unlimited amount of Kerrygold butter. To this day, I still have no concept of how the hell there was so much damn Kerrygold butter, which is a southerner. I'm never going to complain about the best butter you can get. But like unlimited, just never run out and be like, how many sticks do you just put as many as you want? Because and it's like twelve dollars a block. Oh, I know we down there. I'm the only one that uses it in our house because it's too expensive. So I always have it in a special drawer. It's insane. It's a special product. That's a really special product. But in the Bahamas, they loved it, apparently, because every single person had Kerrygold. The marketing they had from Ireland to get it to there. I don't know. So learned an immense amount about myself, learned about different organizations. I met one of my good friends, Josh Phelps. He was for WCK. He was flying in Blackhawk helicopters and bringing me tons of food. Unlimited, unlimited Cambros. I went from cooking for hundreds of hundreds of people myself a day to being able to have these big Cambros of rice and salad and slaws and all this, and it helped me so much. So fast forward to the invasion of Ukraine. And as you'll see, the whole story, it'll come full circle. So I call I call my buddy Daniel Joy, who I met in the Bahamas five years earlier and said, Hey, man, do you have any connections? I can't get a hold of this guy named Sam Block for WCK. Do you have any connects to get me over in Ukraine? He's like, no, but I do have a friend that runs this organization called Metair. It's from Switzerland. His name is Daniel Ellsworth. I'm like, perfect. I send him a video message per usual explaining who the hell I am. He sends me a message back, an audio message laughing, saying that he never received a video message. And that was that was unique and cute. He's a British guy and says, I have no idea what we can do for you culinary wise, but I want you over here. You seem like a real one. I'm like, perfect. Can my dad come? He's like, yes, perfect. So me and my dad get on a plane to fly to Poland to get picked up by Daniel Ellsworth at like twelve thirty at night, get driven to an old an old whorehouse that's not operational is really interesting, though. The artistry of the wooden like pirate ship breast thing is the weirdest place I've ever stayed is weird, very weird. But it was a place to stay. Never seen snow like that or been that cold. It was March the first of March. So it was just absurdly cold, negative ten, negative 20, like absurd cold started, started figuring out what we're going to do. They said, we found this hotel that you can work in their kitchen. They're working for WCK. I'm like, perfect. Where is that commercial? Perfect. So they drive us to 50 minutes in the morning. The hotel staff loves me, my father. So they tell us instead of driving to josh off an hour there and forth, they say, hey, please stay at this hotel. So we stay at this hotel, become best friends with the owners, the staff, everything. We're producing thousands of meals out of this hotel. We're getting smooth systems. And they just it is a wonderful, wonderful experience. My dad may fly back. I fly back to Poland two weeks later. I go to the WCK kitchen and Michel, which is the largest operating kitchen in Europe. And I tell them I'm here to take out trash and wash dishes. They asked me if I'm good with knives. Now I'm showing up in overalls, a cut off shirt and this hat. So this is a lot for Ukrainians and Polish people. They get me on the cold side and see if I can use a knife. I passed the test that I know how to use a knife. My cover is not blown. So this is good. I can do the humble work. That's what I'm trying to do. The humble work, trash, dishes. Well, within four days, I'm third in charge on the cold side and start seeing how we can do things faster. I take over the cold side and I completely changed the way we do the operation where we are producing 350 sandwiches an hour. I implemented my ideas and we were producing thirty five hundred sandwiches an hour, so 11 fold on Jose's idea, which I love, Jose. But my idea was 11 times faster. So I'm there. I'm there all of all of May. I fly back home to get my stuff. I'm there for four days. I didn't fly back to the shop. I go in and ask me to be the executive chef of the whole operation. So now I'm the executive chef, the largest operating kitchen in Europe, which is a wild, wild thing. I'm an executive chef. Roseanne Dreyse, we are having fresh food every day. Eighty five thousand portions a day. I'm bringing in fresh berries, fresh rosemary, fresh everything. So we have the finest ingredients. And then again about the humility. My last statement that I made in culinary school that everyone laughed at because like, wow, isn't he super humble? As I said that I would be an executive chef for Jose Andres one day. And I had to write two reports. And one of them had to be the best state and my best chef in my state and the chef that I wanted to work for, who I thought was the best in the world. Hugh Atchison, Roseanne Dreyse. Fast forward 12 years and now I'm standing in Chemical as an executive chef with random Hugh Atchison coming in from Romania there with Roseanne Dreyse. So I'm standing here 12 years later with the two people that I wrote my report about and said, by God, I'm going to be doing this. And then here we are. So, again, I got always, Sam, always receipts. So I, I, I wasn't allowed to go into Ukraine after we shut the kitchen down at the end of July. So, again, in May, I said that if WCK does not allow me to go in here, then I will literally get my food trucks and I will bring food trucks into this country because I'm going to be in Bucha for Christmas. So help me, God. So I'm sitting now in Florida getting my ass kicked where it's 120 degrees because Hurricane Ian, I think Hurricane Ian or Ira or whatever hit Fort Myers. So WCK is activated. I'm standing there just absolutely just having a hell of a time. We're flipping these big paella pans that are seven feet wide, you know, four to seven times a day, like they're producing ten to thirty thousand portions out of the twin spring training facility, which was amazing. And two guys walked in. One of them's name is Adam and the other one's name was we'll just say Kay. And they said, hey, we heard that you want to go back to Ukraine. Would you like to work for us? I said, absolutely. He goes now like November at the end of this operation, you can go with us. I said, all right, sounds good. So I said, I need four food trucks minimum. I need to be able to be in Ukraine operating. I'm not I don't have any boss. I'm not I just tell you what I'm doing and then I'm doing it. You're not paying me very much. I don't care about that. I just need you to make sure the card you give me always works for me to buy stuff. So all of a sudden now I'm in the middle of a desert in Las Vegas scouting for Amazon and a Jeep Rubicon so we can do extraction drills with helicopters and spec ops teams. And very interesting. And then all of a sudden I'm in Haiti. I'm in Port-au-Prince where we're doing thermal imaging, mapping with drones to be able to find supply lines from the ports into the city because Porkchop, who's the gang, the gang leader is a cannibal named Porkchop for a reason, is killing everybody and they can't get that through. So then I leave Haiti to go to Jordan where we almost get arrested because we're filming stuff we're not supposed to be filming. And I have to talk my way out of that with my Jordanian that I am so fluent in and get out of Jordan, fly to Qatar or Turkey, get completely screwed in Turkey with my bag, then fly to Turkey to Poland. Turkey to Poland. Then I go into Ukraine to start scouting the area. I go to Kyiv. When you say scouting, by the way, you're only 20 minutes over your time limit. You did pretty good. Yeah, I thought we were going to keep rolling. Yeah, no, you're doing great. That was awesome. I need to I'm going to slow you down, though, because I want to make sure I can follow and everyone can follow. So you're going back to Ukraine and you're scouting what? Like, what are you scouting? I'm scouting for trucks. I'm looking. I'm still in Ukraine. I'm in Kyiv. I'm looking for food trucks. So I'm I'm staying in this apartment that is the nicest apartment I've ever stayed in, but it's not very great when it doesn't have power or water and it's on the 26th floor, which means it's 52 flights of stairs up with no elevator and anything. They find some trucks. It is now December of 2022 and they found trucks in the border of Poland and Slovenia. So now I got to go back into Poland, get on a train, go to this place, get a couple of people. We grab we grab these trucks. Some of them don't have very good brakes or windshield wipers. It is a miracle from Jesus Christ that we did not wreck. It was unbelievable. We drive them all the way to the border where then they gave us the wrong paperwork. So now I'm on the border with the wrong paperwork, which is I can't explain to you about that. That's another another that's 10 hours of conversation. We then meet up with Ukrainians that didn't get the trucks and drive them, which takes 13 hours because you go about 60 kilometers an hour in these trucks. They're like 1980s Mercedes trucks, which I will never dis those trucks because they cranked every single time, even negative 20. These things still crank up every single time, every single time. Drive them to Kiev, rip them apart, fit them out, start shopping, getting everything loaded up. And all of this, Noah, all of this is under a nonprofit, an organization working for a company called Help NGO, working for help NGO who works for Amazon and also works for three letter organizations. So I am I am building these trucks out. One truck, the storage truck, one trucks, a drink truck, one trucks, a cooking truck, one trucks, a serving truck. And on December 25th, I pull in with my trucks into Bucha and start serving hundreds and hundreds of people where it's the only city I've ever driven into where I could immediately start crying as soon as I was in the presence of the city, because the the horrors and the atrocities that happened there keep me up at night. The stories these people were telling me were some of the most horrific stories I've ever heard in my life. Truly, the barbarism that was happening by the Russians was something just Lord of the Ring Orcs. That's what we call the Russians over here is the orcs. So I stuck around, did that as long as I could until all the funds dried up for help NGO, which means I couldn't do that anymore. So I was funding this by myself when I wasn't getting money. I then would literally fundraise, try to get money, spent all of my money. So the forty thousand dollars that I had in my savings account that I was going to disappear to Southeast Asia and do a spiritual journey with that disappeared. I spent all that money. I never got any of that money back. And I moved back home because that was the end of it. And then magically, I start working for Rachel Ray. I'm over here for a year and a half working for Rachel Ray, as she calls me, Mr. President, getting things done. I, I can't even thank Rachel enough for the experiences that she gave me and the opportunity that she gave me. Just trusting me, I'd be like, Rachel, I need fifteen thousand dollars. Bam. Fifteen thousand dollars. Rachel, we need these pans from Valencia, Spain. It's going to be a year before I can get them, but maybe I can make it happen in six months. Bam. Seventeen thousand dollars for these pans. Flying to her house, flying to her house in Tuscany and hanging out with Green Day with Billy asked for my number at the end, saying I was the most interesting guy he'd met that he'd run and most humble. You keep forgetting that you got to put on the end of that most interesting and humble. Yeah, yes. And humble. So Billy and Trey cool hanging out with them in Tuscany, like never thought that would happen. Playing, playing, literally jamming with them, with Rachel, with John or husband. Just experiences that I never thought I would have while I'm giving everything I have. God just keeps giving me these things. And Rachel is such a vessel for that. And working for her, getting everything done. Game changer. Well, last April, all operations that she was doing were shifted over to the UCCA so that I'm not needed anymore. So then I'm let go, even though I wasn't really technically working for them. I never had a salary, so I never made any money for a whole year and a half. So. I didn't hang the hat up because I've sold everything I have, I've gone through my savings, there is no more money to give to the Ukrainians. So then I start fundraising and get fundraising going and then I come back and then I come back again. I'm here for six months and I'm literally here now where I literally told God, if you want me to come back this trip because everyone keeps calling me and telling me that I need to come back, I need $10,000 in two weeks. Well, I literally got $10,200 in 14 days, was able to get everything taken care of and to be able to come over here and make some things shake. So that's my five minute synopsis from 18 to 39, that concludes my TED talk about myself. Yeah, well done. Well done. So what, what, why, why, why all of this on Ukraine? Your story and let me, we met, gosh, years ago because you sent me a video message. You're kind of famous for that. You sent me a, you DM me a video message making fun of barbecue hack products, which is like our, right? Wasn't that it? I think it was a hilarious video and then sent you products. The good, the bad, the ugly is of what you're doing. And it, yeah, I think I referred to the, the, your products as hit and miss. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to try them out. I'd like to try them out because I'm sure that I can figure out what's good with them and what's bad. Exactly. Yeah. And you were like, you gave us a very honest review, which was very helpful. So that's how we meet. And you're an expert at networking, obviously. Um, top four master chef, obviously a great chef, um, great with people. Uh, but you keep just going down the same road of giving, giving till everything's gone. And I, right. And when I met you too, you were like, I don't want nothing. Send me some products. And then you just kept promoting, never asked for anything ever again. And we're always an advocate. And then when our friends came up with doing llamas, I remember the card game who, by the way, a shout out. Can you say, uh, for her sake, say hi, Stephanie Boswell, uh, say, yeah, she loved you. Season 10 master chef guys, uh, her favorite character, the character, uh, not even role player. That's not the right one. Contestant would be the correct term for this. Um, but yeah. So fast forward, you have all these opportunities, um, and you just keep giving and yes, you come off like an arrogant asshole. No doubt. Right. On first impressions for weak people, for weak people that are confused with their own identity that don't believe and speaking it into existence. All you have to do is watch Conor McGregor call his Hoda or Hoda's Alvarez or what is his name? Hoda Alvarez. When he said exactly what he was going to do to Aldo, that's his name, Jose Aldo. Watch that film after this and you'll understand and you'll start, you'll feel your testicles actually falling down more and your voice dropping because he says exactly what he's going to do when he loads that left hand up. That's going to be his mistake. And I'm going to knock him out. And the reporter the next day said, Hey, how did you know this was going to happen? He said, I saw it. I tasted, I felt it and I had enough courage to speak it into existence. And that's what separates the weak ass people and the strong ass people that could be on humble. Yes. Yeah, no, it's good. And my point in saying that was trying to compliment you. You, you give a ton, you give a lot and you give in your way and you get stuff done. On the Ukrainian side, what was the deep connection there? You obviously like to cook, then you get a passion for feeding, but you're back again. And are you just feeding people? Like, what is your day? There are a lot of things, feeding lots of people, analytics, problem solving, learning about drones, how to build drones, how to operate drones, learning about military tactic. I'm a morale booster. So I come in here, I'm like negative 15 degrees and I've got tie dye overalls walking down the street with an American flag and Ukrainian flag. Like, uh, I, I got, I got famous two weeks ago and viral got first time I've been famous. Uh, I got a viral video. It's got hundreds of thousands of views because they interviewed me in a park and they're like, well, what are your thoughts on people that don't support Ukraine and support Russia? I was like, well, you can go fuck yourself. And if you don't support or if you support Russia, also go fuck yourself. Well, that went super viral because no one talks like that in Ukraine. And I was like, we, we love this. This is what we need. And everyone like thousands of messages on Facebook, more than I've ever had on any clip about the support and how nice it is that, that they haven't been forgotten. And how you said, I never needed that because I've worked with 95 different companies and I've never made one cent on social media, not one single dime. However, however, I have an unbelievable natural ability to be able to see talent and bullshit artists very quickly. And I'm able to see the future very, very easily where I have enough confidence to sound like a fucking lunatic saying it. But I know because I know it's going to happen. I.E. Nick DiGiovanni. When I met Nick, Nick had a thousand followers. I told Nick, Nick, I want to be your manager. This is a Chinese man's theater. I said, I've seen the future. You're going to have more followers than Gordon. You're going to have tens of millions of followers. I know this sounds insane. He's like, well, I want to be your manager. I was like, zero chance you're going to be my manager. I'm going to be your manager because I'm telling you, you're going to be the biggest star MasterChef has ever happened. How many followers does Nick DiGiovanni have right now? Oh, well, it's 50 million. It's 50 million. That's no fun. 30, 30, 30 million on 30 million on. YouTube, so I worked with YouTube as a talent scout analyst because I'm able to see it before they explode. Last person I did, he had six thousand two hundred and seventy four. I immediately sent him a video message going, hey, this is going to be the craziest thing you've ever heard. But by the end of March, you're going to have half a million followers. By the end of April, you're going to have a million. Don't ask me how I know this, but I'm telling you this is a fact. It's going to happen. Well, in the damnedest thing, he goes, well, if I ever had 50,000, I'd be super happy. I'm like, perfect. Buckle up, because everyone's going to be throwing their freaking hooks in view when this happens. Five hundred and fifty thousand at the end of March, one point one million. He has a meteoric raise. Well, guess what? I sent all that information over to Sarah YouTube being like, hey, this guy is about to explode. Here's how many followers he has now. You know what he has? Two million. I can do this about forty five to one hundred times on big influencers that had no following. And then all of a sudden they had a lot of following. And I was a person being able to say that. Our producer wants to know what's your prediction of how many followers will have? We just started posting eight weeks ago. You're screwed for a while. You got to get somebody on there that actually is not a bullshit guy. That's actually humble. You get some humble people on here that actually aren't con men. That's probably a good start. First off, it's chaos behind you. You got too much going on behind you. All right. You ask for it. You got a door open over here that makes me keep looking over here. It is only you see that nobody else sees it. But you got on your phone. You got on your phone. So it's like, is he interested in what I'm saying? To never pull out your phone when you're on a good interview. Is this your first interview? I was looking. I don't know. I don't care. You've got multiple different colored cords. You got a green line. Yeah, it looks like you're you looks like you're in a storage unit right now. So we got to work on the setting a little bit where it's not so God dang confused and convoluted. Yeah. Other than that, once you start doing that and and you get the camera more on you or it doesn't look like I'm in a tunnel vortex, that's a good start. And a plant. I don't even know what the plant's happening because you got this giant mug on here. It's like, well, is he trying to promote that? And I need to look at that. Yeah, it's actually a septic mug. I can't accept it. No. So I think if you get it together, if you get your shit together, I think we can get a big thing. We do some big stuff. I love it. Great, great feedback. Well, it's going to be really funny for those listening and watching because they won't see anything you're talking about because there's different cameras than what you see. So that's going to be a really good bit, though. If you would wear a shirt also, that'd probably be professional wearing a shirt. Yeah. You being shirtless right now is definitely different. So so let's talk about the the end game here. You're obviously so you're kind of ambassador for Ukrainians started out feeding. Obviously, the Poland experience was all these refugees, I'm assuming. Yeah, we're actually thousands and thousands of refugees coming over the border. And Poland, if you don't know, it is one of the greatest countries on planet Earth. If I had to live in one country right now, it would not be the United States. It'd be Poland. Not even close. I've been around the world multiple times. Nothing's comparable. Poland is the safest, cleanest. It is respect, honor, dignity, culture. It is the greatest country. I would it's unbreaking believable. So so the the goal here, obviously, is to keep feeding, keep empowering them, knowing that they're not alone, because, again, you said, why do you support them? My question is, why are you not supporting them? As a Christian man, which I'm a missionary at Epworth United Methodist, unanimous decision, even me telling them about all the things I do. It was so all everyone raise their hand in church because I'm like, I test. I smoke literally hay bales of weed if I have it. I have sex before marriage. And they're like, yeah, we love who you are. So be a missionary. So I'm a missionary here. So as a Christian, I believe that without without actions, your word is what dead. So a lot of these fake Christians that are like, look at me, look at me. Don't do anything. And I'm a person that is a cussing, sinning war machine for God that when I see injustices happen, I don't think about how can I benefit from this? What can I profit from this? I look at this as well. God built me for this. He did not build a punk ass bitch. He built a damn machine to be able to go over here and just, you know, beat everyone's ass like a Cherokee war drum. So I'm over here to be a messenger of hope, a messenger of of good faith. I'm also over here as a penance for us invading a sovereign country in Iraq. I hold that very close to me about how we were responsible for killing a million Iraqis. So as an American, I come over here because when that was happening, Ukrainians who were not in NATO sent over their special forces. Not a lot of people know that. Twenty seven of them died in Afghanistan. And then helping us. So big pittance was this incredible, wonderful country getting invaded by the shittiest country on the planet, which I was raised correctly. I don't know how they raise y'all in Kansas, but we watched great movies such as Red Dawn, Rocky Part four, Rambo Part three. And all those messages are very clear. Russia sucks donkey dick and they suck at everything involving life and that we don't take kind them being bullies. So I had those ingrained into me that the Russians suck. So coming over here, it was confirmed that those films were masterpieces of understanding how shitty Russians were. So for me, I'm going to keep coming over here and helping these people as much as I possibly can until I literally have to sell my body as a prostitute on OnlyFans or a literal prostitute. I don't know what the rates could be. I think they'd be as an unhumbled guy. I think exceptionally high, I think. But I mean, I'll do what I got to do. Yeah, no, I appreciate how much you're always giving. What's been the hardest what's been the hardest part being in Ukraine? Not having more money, because if I had more money, I could do exponentially more. The bureaucracy of how long things take. One of the reasons that I was here for Rachel is because there was no bullshit. It was bing, bang, bong, ABC. There was no middleman. I'll do everything. I'll make everything happen. And with more money, I can do more things. So it's been very frustrating money because these people need help. These are God fearing, amazing, kind, wonderful people that love America more than any country I've ever been to in my life. I've never been to a country that loved America more than Ukraine. And when you made a deal with them, the Budapest Memorandum in 1994, we made a deal with them. Russia made a deal with them that if anyone ever invaded them, we would defend them. They'd give up their nuclear arsenal, which was the third largest nuclear arsenal on the planet. Which they did. And then Russia invades them. Russia steals their land and we don't do anything. So it's a thing of shame on Obama for allowing them to take Crimea in 2014. That's a shame on him. Shame on Joe Biden. Shame on Donald Trump. All of these people over here are very upset with US presidents. It's not a Democrat or Republican thing because they've seen how the Americans screwed them. They gave up their nuclear arsenal. We will protect you. It's very simple. It's very simple to see that we went back on the agreement that we made with them, that if they had nuclear deterrence, the Russia is not invading them. So it's been a real eye opener for me about how screwed we are on our word. And as you know, I'm a man of my word. So as an American, I take the Budapest memorandum as a contract that I need to hold. I've never heard that take. That's really interesting. A good spin on that, though. Good spin that no one else talks about because they're always like not talking about that. Do I think that it's good that the Ukrainians gave up their nuclear missiles and stuff? Yes, because they couldn't afford it. They were broke. Ukraine was broke and they couldn't have not. So they would have had to sell it off to terrorist groups or some other things to be able to fund having the 4000 missiles that they had. So it was a good thing if we would have honored that. But it was our job to honor that. So it's it blows my mind what media you see in America where people literally start taking Russia's side, which is your grandparents are rolling in their grave. I don't give a damn who you are. If you support Russia and you don't support Ukraine, your grandparents think you're a shit stain that should have been freaking swallowed. I don't give a damn. Like if you don't support these Ukrainians and you call yourself a patriot, call yourself an American, you're a fraud. You're a liar. You're a coward. Because these people love us and we owe them so much. On top of that, the finest drone operators and the finest drone manufacturers are Ukrainians. And that is the new way of the world. The Ukrainians are literally going to teach the whole world how to defend against drones. They are already doing it in Europe. European airspace got shut down by five drones. Right now, as we're speaking above us right now, there's 10 to 15,000 drones in the air right now. At any time, 10 to 15,000 drones. Oh, what's happening in New Jersey? There's some lights flying. Oh, my God. It's news everywhere. There's light in the UFO. What's happening? Like idiots like I've been running through the woods from drones trying to kill me before. That's what I was going to ask you. But what's the people like? Tudor Brown being like, what is that? But yeah, it's one of them alien things. We're screwed. I have heard a lot about those drones. It's fascinating what they're doing. Well, I can blow your mind with some of the stuff, the thermite, thermite thrower. That's a wild one. It's a flamethrower of death that sprays thermite over everything. So shooting liquid metal, it's shooting fire like a dragon. That's a wild one or automatic shotguns mounted to this thing. So these things are just sitting there with a twelve shotguns flying up and shooting drones out of the air. Wild shit, man. Crazy stuff. That'll be the next interview when you want to boost your right. You're you're viewing your tactics. What's the scariest moment you've experienced in Ukraine? When I was two kilometers from the Russian border trying to do some stuff and two drones got over us and I was running through the woods, I was really I was really just just living myself as Hawkeye from last the Mohicans chasing the elk through the woods. I was running like you. You cannot believe the speed, power and agility like a dang Puma cutting through whenever your asshole sphincter tightens up where you can't get a needle in it because you hear these things flying over you on top of you. Yeah, that's that's it. Nothing like I've been bombed out. I've been sitting in bunkers for hours as we're getting hit. I've been right next to a guns where they're going off. I mean, I've done it all and when a drone is unidentified above you chasing you through the forest. That sucks. That's like that's that's bad. That's that's that's some kind of that's bad. That's really not fun. Well, yeah. And there's so many versions of the drones, too, right? There's the drones that just they're kamikaze drones. I'll send you FPV drones. I'll send you videos of me testing out some drones where this drone goes zero to one hundred and ninety kilometers an hour and about half a second. Where it's on your screen and then pen it and it's literally you can't see it in the sky like you can't see it like no BS. I'll send you over a clip. Yeah, you just don't even understand the the speed, the agility. And Ukrainian pilots can put these things through like obstacle courses that you can't even believe. Yeah, it is. It is the most amazing thing. These drone killing teams, some of the toughest amigos there are. That's crazy. And I'm on their side. Why would I not be on the side? It's the side of the winner, the underdog. These people are fighting for freedom. If Ukraine falls, then Poland is then going to be fighting Russia. Then guess what? That's Article five. So then guess what? Well, Donald Trump, I don't know what will happen with Article five. But any other person that's not a psychopath, which I'm not a big Joe Biden fan, but I have enough testicles, gumption and spine to be able to call a piece of shit trader what he is. And that's what he is. So I don't know what him and J.D. Vance are going to do. If J.D. Vance can get out of his 40 car motorcade that cost us three million dollars to ship those over to Italy, if he can get out of that, maybe he can tell us what we can do with Article five. But if Article five happens, it's in. It's the end. World War three. We're not having any more of this. All these big influencers are going to be fucked and dead because they don't even know how to build a fire. So, yeah, I digress. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I appreciate anybody that gives up their time or life for those suffering I hold in the highest regards. And this has been very formative, very unorthodox. Not at all a podcast episode that we've unlike any other, which is fitting for you, Noah. Yeah. What do you expect? Yeah, I mean, I am a rage like, hey, I'm going to need I'm going to need I'm going to need you to just talk real quick, OK? Yeah, no, no. No, it means a lot. This is our first ever virtual podcast episode. We've done 26 others and what can I do to help you in your life? What can I do to advance this podcast for you? Yeah. No, you just just by showing up and being a guest and being supportive and giving feedback loops, man. Go listen to some episodes and call it. Call it a square square. Do you need a do you need a do you need any new products tested? Actually, you ship them over here to Ukraine. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah. No, this is Kansas to Keeve. That could be a hell of a podcast show. Well, I was thinking about some other people I know in the Wichita area I need to connect you to. So we'll we'll have for sure they have. Here's the fun part of never making any money on social media. When I do ask for cash for people to tell them exactly what's going to happen and they're super rich. It's very easy normally to get cash from those people because they know that I literally don't make any money and that I literally mortgage my whole life. So if you have some Wichita people that want to contribute in any possible, that's what I was going to ask you as the last question. Yeah. How can we support you? Are you posting? Is there an organization that you're a part of that? They only know I'm freelance. So anybody that wants to send PayPal or Venmo and if they can say I want receipts for my money or I don't want receipts for my money, it's that simple. Because then I will literally show I will show literally to the dime of where your money is going. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't give up. I don't give up. Yeah, clearly. I mean, I've had this shirt for like eight years. I've had this hat for 30 years. I clearly don't care about fashion. So, yeah, your money is not going to get for my opulent lifestyle, my lavish luxury. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, that that in itself, that'll be another conversation. So I think you're I think you've got a lot of pieces to something you're going to build and have in true form someday. You know, that's I'm a billionaire by 42. I've already said that I've manifested that since I was four. So when I do become a billionaire, I don't know how it's going to happen. Like winning the lottery, come up with an idea. But yeah, I can manifest my height. I can manifest anything. And I mean, that's exactly what I wanted in height. You laugh, but that's that's literally from 10 years old to 22 years old. I prayed the same prayer every single day that if God made me taller than my older brother and taller than Michael Jordan, that I would give my life to help me human race in any possible way, that I wouldn't be greedy. Just make me proportionate and taller than Michael Jordan. Well, I'll be damned if my brother stopped growing at six, five, Michael Jordan, six, six, and I am verifiable six, seven. So if that can happen, anything can happen. The power of manifesting is not for the weak. It's for the fucking boss horse war daddy. That's good, man. Yeah, I've I've I have so many questions and we're over time. I keep these at an hour to be. I will be on time because, you know, I'm punctual. But I was expecting at least at least 15 to 20 minutes over time. Well, after this again. Yeah, you can stare at Tyler and Tyler can go. What just happened? Oh, yeah. No, we're I'm the host and I'm still. Where did you find this psychopath? He found me even scarier. He knows where you live. Yeah, I can find you. I could find you. I'm very good at finding. Well, this will be the first podcast. We have to decide how to handle the explicit side of it. This will be the first podcast we have to cut out in or misunderstandings because of your reception, cutting out because of the air raids. So this will be this will this will be good. Well, that's fine. I'm glad that I gave you a raw diamond to form. However, you want to form it. But it's still a diamond, Sammy. This is just it's on you. It's on you on what type of cut you want to make this diamond. Yeah. Diamond in the rough, baby. Now, I without question, appreciate you a lot. And thank you for coming on. And I'm glad we reconnected. I think it was only like six months ago we reconnected. And I started getting a call. Our last call, you're supposed to call on. Oh, right. Where you're like, you literally star boxed it. Barrel roll, barrel, barrel roll. I did that. So, yeah, I don't forget a lot, Sam. No, apparently not. Receipts, receipts. Keep it real. I have receipts every time I tell people I will come with receipts. You think something sounds too ridiculous? Just tell me, hey, that sounds like bullshit. And then I literally will show you on the forty three thousand videos on my phone. I have thirty six thousand pictures, all of receipts, literally of pictures and video evidence, whatever. Got it. So thank you so much for having me on here. You want to end this with a prayer? You do it. Bless it. All right, Lord. Thank you so much for us having this epic conversation, Lord. Please allow our viewership to understand that we're just doing the best we can, Lord. And sometimes when people are doing new things, it's not that great. And hopefully this is great, Lord. So watch our families, our friends and give us the ability to strike down the evil pieces of shit in this world and give us the ability to help the people that just need a helping hand. Lord, in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Appreciate you, brother.
