Yes, I looked up your, uh, uh, because a lot of the time when somebody becomes a pastor, I'm like, okay, so your, your son is usually, you do something with him, right? I think it's Stuart, Stuart, and then your father is it Emilio or Emo, Emilio, Emilio.

Who was married to your mother 56 years, six kids I believe, right? If I'm not mistaken. And but a lot of the stuff that I tried to listen to, it was not in English. It was either in German or what, what was what language is he preaching?

In, he spoke five languages and preached in all of them. Which languages were they? They were English, German, Italian, French, and Swiss, got it. Okay. And then was he a Seventh-day or was he apologetic, like you? Was he an Adventist? Was he a, he became a Seventh-day Adventist?

He became a Seventh-day Adventist. Sure did. And then, uh, at one point did you say this is not me, I'm going to go a different direction or what, what happened with you? Or did he also evolve, and in your faith evolve based on his?

Never was a Seventh-day Adventist. He raised us in a basic Bible teaching church, and uh, then he became a Seventh-day Adventist. And after studying it, I just couldn't, uh, go that path. So I stuck with, uh, basic Orthodox Christianity, non-denominational position.

That you have got it. And you guys have very similar voices, by the way. Like when I'm listening to you, he also has that, uh, that, that strong voice.
