Hi, Sam.
Hi.
I like your outfit.
I like your pants.
You have little cars on 'em, and you got matching outfits
with your dad.
It's a good outfit.
And nice to meet you.
Pleasure.
This is really exciting.
I'm so happy to meet you because I saw your video.
You know, a lot of people have seen it.
You know that, right?
Yes.
How does it feel to know that so many people have seen it?
Well, it feels great.
Yeah.
I bet it does.
A lot of people have seen it because it's so good.
I mean, I was really impressed with-- how long have you
been rapping?
Since a year.
A year?
Really?
And what made you start rapping?
Were you making up songs, or how did you start a year ago?
That was Daddy.
[LAUGHING]
It's my fault. It's my fault.
Yeah.
Right.
It is.
It's good that you started him rapping.
How long did it take you to learn that ABC song?
A couple weeks, was it?
Maybe two weeks or so?
Yeah.
Two weeks to learn that whole song?
Yeah.
I couldn't even do that.
That's like-- you're super smart.
How'd you get so smart?
My mommy taught me how to read when I was two.
She's my best friend.
Oh.
Hey, buddy.
He's pretty good too.
He's right next to you.
And daddy!
Yeah.
OK, all right.
[LAUGHING]
But that's so great that she taught you how to read at two.
That's really great.
Do you like reading?
Yes.
Oh I'm glad.
That's really good that you like to read.
So, Bobby, you-- you--
you wrote the song, right?
I did.
It was just one of those things where Sam was very--
learned how to read very early on.
It was just that thing of wanting to let him
know the world is open to him to be whatever he wanted to be.
And he helped me write it.
He came up with the nurse and I think
he came up with also the architect,
and he came up with--
Wow.
--one other one of the careers.
And it all came together.
I came up with the firefighter.
You sure did.
You came up with firefighter as well.
Wow.
That's great.
There's a lot of different things you can be,
it turns out.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up, I want to be an architect, the governor,
and the president.
Oh.
[APPLAUSE]
Wow.
All at the same time?
I think first I want to be an architect, then a governor,
and then the president.
Good.
That's the-- yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
And why do you want to be those things?
Because I like to build and I want to rule the world!
I hope you get to, because you seem really smart,
and that's really important to be really smart
when you're ruling the world.
Thank you.
What else do you like to do for fun?
I like to play and I like to read and I like to watch TV.
What do you like to watch?
Garfield, SpongeBob, Family Feud.
Uh.
Nailed It.
I can't remember-- oh, and Johnny Test.
All right.
There's a show called, The Ellen Show
that's really, really good.
[LAUGHING]
You should check it out sometime.
All right.
I would love to see you do the song.
Would you like to do it now?
Yes.
All right.
Let's do it.
[APPLAUSE]
Come on, man.
OK.
[APPLAUSE]
Sam, you ready to tell everybody and remind kids
they can be whatever they want to be when they grow up?
Yes.
All right.
Let's go.
You can be an A, you can be an architect, set your buildings
against the sky.
You can be a B, you can be a biochemist
and make mess and save lives.
You can be a C, [INAUDIBLE] You can a D, you can be an dentist,
cause everybody loves to smile.
You can an E, you can be engineer,
solve problems of all kinds--
chemical, mechanical, electrical,
it's the power of your mind.
You can be an F, you be a firefighter,
fight fires in the trucks.
You can be a G, gastroenerologist, [INAUDIBLE]..
Now take that [INAUDIBLE].
Make your own mark and leave an impact on the world.
And with that watch you can be your own boss.
Tell the boy and girl.
And with that [INAUDIBLE] Just don't be a Z,
just don't be a zombie and let the world pass you by.
[APPLAUSE]
It's so good!
Stay right there, buddy.
It's so good!
All right.
I love the dancing, I love the snapping, the whole step.
It's fantastic.
You're snapping with it.
All right.
We're going to take a break.
I have a gift for you right after the break.
OK?
We'll be right back.
We're back with Sam and his dad Bobby.
And you are the mom?
And you are?
I'm sorry.
Stephanie.
And well you're his best friend, apparently.
He loves you he said.
He's adorable.
All right.
So I know you love reading.
And we got you a little reading nook with some
of your favorite things.
Take a look.
[APPLAUSE]
Yay!
Wait a minute, Sam.
Come back out of the way.
Oh!
[LAUGHING]
Woo!
[LAUGHING]
[INAUDIBLE]
Let me just show you something else too.
Grab that book, if you want to open that.
Because we want you to go to college for sure.
So there's $10,000 for you to go--
Whoa!
[APPLAUSE]
Oh my!
What?
That is why I loved your rap and they want
you to start a college fund.
Tell her, thank, buddy.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
