So what you're going to getready to hear is.
I guess we gotta set up thestory.
(12:15):
I guess you guys understand whatyou're going to be listening to.
So, back in September of 2022, Iordered my equipment, right?
So, you could probably see ithere on my table.
I had my recorder, had the micset up.
So, what you're going to hear inthis interview, you're going to
hear four people.
It's going to be me and my wifewho are sitting here.
And what, what's happening atthe time, um, you know, I'm, I'm
(12:37):
messing with my recorder here.
I'm trying to figure out thefunctions, you know, what, what
does, what, how to work, youknow, the buttons and
everything.
So, so at this point I told myson, Moses, I told him, Hey go
on your phone and go upstairsand call me.
To the recorder because I wantedto see if the Bluetooth function
(12:57):
worked.
Basically, I wanted to test if Icould do, uh, phone interviews,
you know, like people from otherstates, if they could call in
and I could interview them, youknow, just by headphones at that
point, we don't have no camera.
So we're strictly the recorder.
All my interviews were justaudio.
So there was only audiorecordings happening.
So I told Moses, Hey, man, goupstairs, call me in.
(13:17):
So set up the Bluetooth.
He calls in.
And take us from there, Moses,like, tell, tell, tell us what
happened.
But don't share what, what yousaid.
'cause I want him to hear.
But maybe GG give give you yourtake, you know?
So, hey, first of all, how, howold are, are you right now,
Moses?
Oh, I'm 17.
Okay.
So at this point you are what,at that point you were like,
(13:38):
what?
Maybe 13, 14.
Oh, was it?
It was two and a half years ago.
So it was it two and a half?
14.
14 through 15, somewhere.
So, so it's all right.
So you go upstairs and tell uswhat happens, man.
Moses (13:51):
Okay.
So basically, like he said, theywanted to test out like the
Bluetooth feature.
So basically we just goupstairs.
Me and my sister, Angelina,she's older than me.
So we get on the phone and, uh,I'm not going to spoil the story
and stuff.
But basically we just startedlike making up this story on the
spot like really bizarre justgoing with it And we both get
like super in character and likethe entire time we're doing this
(14:14):
like my mom and my dad are likeCackling go because we're just
keep going So it was just it wassuper fun to do that.
Like it's cuz Like me and mysister we do that all the time
like me and Angelina do that allthe time just making up stories
in The spot just for the fun ofit.
So it just came naturally.
So it's super fun to
Omar (14:31):
do that.
Yeah, it was it was so Basicallywhen he called in I was I just
wanted to hear his voice.
I just wanted to know Hey,Moses.
Hey, you know, does it work?
Okay, good.
But when you called in, you turninto a character.
How, how, what, what made youcome up with that character
without, you know, like,
Moses (14:48):
you know, uh, I don't know.
It just comes on the spot like.
You know, if I, if I want tolike make a joke or something
like, Hey, I'll make acharacter, do a voice and just
start making a story
Omar (14:56):
and I'll go with it.
See if it works or not.

Uh, I hope you find, uh, youguys find it a funny as well.
Yeah.
You know, um, a big, uh, uh, um,apology in advance if you're
from the You know, from whateverarea that this guy turned his
character into, I apologize.
I don't know why he picked thatpart of the country or, or that
(15:18):
voice or what's, uh, that's notthe voice.
It's the, uh, the dialect.
There you go.
My accent.

Ducks.
We like to say by the pond, thatwas our gang territory.
(19:10):
But one day as I was walkingdown the street, I heard a bell.
Loud bells, and that bell led toa church house.
I walked into the church house,and I saw big, big doors.
I heard a ceremony going on,voices singing hallelujahs and
praises.
(19:31):
I opened those doors and Iwalked through.
I saw so many faces Irecognized, and there they were
at the altar crying.
I knew this was the place Ibelonged.
I turned away from my duckishlife and into the life of
renewal.
No longer was I a daffety,devious duck, but now I was a
(19:53):
child of God.
That was a, that right there wasa transforming story, wrong to

I guess we gotta set up thestory.
(12:15):
I guess you guys understand whatyou're going to be listening to.
So, back in September of 2022, Iordered my equipment, right?
So, you could probably see ithere on my table.
I had my recorder, had the micset up.
So, what you're going to hear inthis interview, you're going to
hear four people.
It's going to be me and my wifewho are sitting here.
And what, what's happening atthe time, um, you know, I'm, I'm
(12:37):
messing with my recorder here.
I'm trying to figure out thefunctions, you know, what, what
does, what, how to work, youknow, the buttons and
everything.
So, so at this point I told myson, Moses, I told him, Hey go
on your phone and go upstairsand call me.
To the recorder because I wantedto see if the Bluetooth function
(12:57):
worked.
Basically, I wanted to test if Icould do, uh, phone interviews,
you know, like people from otherstates, if they could call in
and I could interview them, youknow, just by headphones at that
point, we don't have no camera.
So we're strictly the recorder.
All my interviews were justaudio.
So there was only audiorecordings happening.
So I told Moses, Hey, man, goupstairs, call me in.
(13:17):
So set up the Bluetooth.
He calls in.
And take us from there, Moses,like, tell, tell, tell us what
happened.
But don't share what, what yousaid.
'cause I want him to hear.
But maybe GG give give you yourtake, you know?
So, hey, first of all, how, howold are, are you right now,
Moses?
Oh, I'm 17.
Okay.
So at this point you are what,at that point you were like,
(13:38):
what?
Maybe 13, 14.
Oh, was it?
It was two and a half years ago.
So it was it two and a half?
14.
14 through 15, somewhere.
So, so it's all right.
So you go upstairs and tell uswhat happens, man.
Moses (13:51):
Okay.
So basically, like he said, theywanted to test out like the
Bluetooth feature.
So basically we just goupstairs.
Me and my sister, Angelina,she's older than me.
So we get on the phone and, uh,I'm not going to spoil the story
and stuff.
But basically we just startedlike making up this story on the
spot like really bizarre justgoing with it And we both get
like super in character and likethe entire time we're doing this
(14:14):
like my mom and my dad are likeCackling go because we're just
keep going So it was just it wassuper fun to do that.
Like it's cuz Like me and mysister we do that all the time
like me and Angelina do that allthe time just making up stories
in The spot just for the fun ofit.
So it just came naturally.
So it's super fun to
Omar (14:31):
do that.
Yeah, it was it was so Basicallywhen he called in I was I just
wanted to hear his voice.
I just wanted to know Hey,Moses.
Hey, you know, does it work?
Okay, good.
But when you called in, you turninto a character.
How, how, what, what made youcome up with that character
without, you know, like,
Moses (14:48):
you know, uh, I don't know.
It just comes on the spot like.
You know, if I, if I want tolike make a joke or something
like, Hey, I'll make acharacter, do a voice and just
start making a story
Omar (14:56):
and I'll go with it.
See if it works or not.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I, let me tell you guys,this one really worked, man.
Had me and my wife cracking updown here.
Uh, I hope you find, uh, youguys find it a funny as well.
Yeah.
You know, um, a big, uh, uh, um,apology in advance if you're
from the You know, from whateverarea that this guy turned his
character into, I apologize.
I don't know why he picked thatpart of the country or, or that
(15:18):
voice or what's, uh, that's notthe voice.
It's the, uh, the dialect.
There you go.
My accent.
Yeah.
He did an accent.
He did a dialect.
So man, he came up with a wholecharacter on the spot, but, uh,
man, that's one thing about youMoses.
Oh, you're very creative, man.
You, you, you, you know, beforewe share it and you don't talk
about it, like, well, what doyou do?
For fun, maybe like on youtubeand uh, you know, tick
Moses (15:41):
tock.
Oh, oh, so basically for themost part Uh, I like collect the
action figures and stuff.
So sometimes i'll do like a stopmotion That's basically like,
you know taking shot by shot tomake like a video takes a long
time, but I love doing it It'slike just been super fun to do
that.

When I was walking down thestreet with my friends of
"hoodlums", if you will, wecalled ourselves the Devious
Ducks.
We like to say by the pond, thatwas our gang territory.
(19:10):
But one day as I was walkingdown the street, I heard a bell.
Loud bells, and that bell led toa church house.
I walked into the church house,and I saw big, big doors.
I heard a ceremony going on,voices singing hallelujahs and
praises.
(19:31):
I opened those doors and Iwalked through.
I saw so many faces Irecognized, and there they were
at the altar crying.
I knew this was the place Ibelonged.
I turned away from my duckishlife and into the life of
renewal.
No longer was I a daffety,devious duck, but now I was a
(19:53):
child of God.
That was a, that right there wasa transforming story, wrong to
strong, from a duck hooligan.
To thank you a renewed life.

quacked at me and called me afool.
I was so devastated, but I keptsharing.
I kept pushing forward.
I kept pushing them as well.
And they waddled on their way tochurch with me.
(20:51):
I saved my hooligan ducks, andwe became renewed.
I still am friends with themtoday.
No longer are we ducks of thedevil.
We are children of God.
Wow, I gotta say that that is astory.

That is a testimony and I'm soglad that your friends waddled
to the light.

(24:22):
because it's March 16, which is316.

So you know, we usually closeout with a certain scripture,
but before we get there, I wantmy son to read, uh, John 3, 16.
Since today is 316 25.
Go ahead Moses.
All right.
So this

is John 316 for this is how God loved the world He gave
his one and only son so thateveryone who believes in him
will not perish but have eternallife
