9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: and the more I do these, the more I'm really

10

142
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,599

146
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: because that's that's the kind of people that you're gonna attract.

147
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: You feel me. Have you always been very much like

148
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: comfortable being yourself? Of course?

149
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: Of course, obviously growing up it was it was a

150
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: little difficult to come to terms with like the type

151
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: of person that I am. But like, as you get older,

152
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: you just learn to grow into your mold and then

153
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: you just pretty much just evolve into the person that.

154
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: You need to become. You said that you felt like

155
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: it was kind of difficult for you to come to

156
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: terms with the type of person you am you are

157
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: just now when I was younger, when you were.

158
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: Can I ask why you felt like it was difficult? Well,

159
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: it was just because I just I just felt so insecure.

160
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I was an secure type of person, you feel me.

161
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: It was just like this, uh.

162
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: Growing up with I grew up, I got bullied a

163
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: lot for my weight and shit, really yeah, I used

164
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: to I used to be a little heavier when I

165
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: was younger. I used to be a little tubby, But no,

166
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: no more. I don't really care because it's just like

167
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: people like me for who I am. It ain't It

168
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: ain't about how I look, It's about how I carry myself.

169
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna continue carrying myself the way that

170
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to.

171
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: So in the journey from being insecure about your way

172
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: and people bullying you and whatnot to where you are now,

173
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: where you seem very comfortable with yourself, Like, what what

174
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: do you think was it that kind of got you

175
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: from that insecure point to where you are now? If

176
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: you want me to keep it up up with you,

177
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: I took a lot of LSD. Okay, you know, I

178
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: know you're not the first person to like, actually literally

179
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: we I've been doing all these live shows and I

180
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: just had someone last night come up and be like, yeah,

181
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: I also on LSD had like a realization that that changed.

182
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Tell me about the trip?

183
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 6: What what?

184
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: What? What was it that made you come to this realization?

185
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: Honestly, I was just I was in my bedroom, I

186
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: was smoking for my bong, and I was just like,

187
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: I forgot which anime I was watching. It was either

188
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: a comic got killed or hunts like Hunter one that

189
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: I'm too. But I was like I was in my

190
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: room and it was hot. I was like sweating like crazy.

191
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: I just I was like, I guess I'm gonna take.

192
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,679
Speaker 1: Off my shirt.

193
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: And where I was sitting on there was like a

194
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: mirror right in front of me in my bedroom at

195
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: the time. So I'm just like staring at myself in

196
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: the mirror with my shirt off, tripping balls, and.

197
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm just like, this is me.

198
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: I can't I can't hate this person because this is

199
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: literally me. So I just at that point, I'm like,

200
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: I bet funk all that shit, mink, throw that shit

201
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: out the window, and now I'm just happy with literally

202
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: everything about myself.

203
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: That's wonderful, man, it is. It is a weird thing,

204
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Like when you're tripping and you're looking at yourself in

205
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: the mirror and you're like, that's me. I'm a guy.

206
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: I actually exist. That's my form. You're trying to learn

207
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: to love yourself. I like that, man, I appreciate it.

271
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 7: we're not, and I'm trying to navigate that. I feel

272
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 7: like I've gone a bit cold after it.

273
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: Really yeah, did were you like you believed in love

274
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: and now you don't?

275
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 7: It was like a complete hopeless romantic and I was like,

276
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 7: this is it, this is forever blah blah blah. Then

277
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 7: some thing's happened and then I'm like it doesn't exist anymore.

278
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: When you were in your hopeless romantic love, what was like,

279
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: what were your thoughts about love? Like? What was engulfing

280
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: you in that moment?

281
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 7: I was like, I was like the girl that like

282
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 7: always like had my dream wedding planned out, like loved

283
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: like needed like that to happen. And then I'm pretty young,

284
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 7: like I'm twenty three, so I got engaged at twenty two.

285
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: Really yeah, did a lot of people in your life

286
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: tell you not to do that?

287
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: Actually everyone told me to do it?

288
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Really yeah?

289
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 7: Because everyone really really liked himself. I won't say too much.

290
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 7: He's like, I don't know where this is going, but

291
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 7: everyone said go for it, like they thought it was

292
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 7: the right idea. They're happy for me, I mean, but

293
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 7: then after we ended, they were like, yeah, that probably

294
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 7: wasn't the best idea. I was like, well, you guys

295
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 7: could have told me that before I did it. But

296
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 7: but now I'm like, I'm like meeting new people, but

297
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 7: I'm like, it's not.

298
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: Really you're you had now when you meet a person,

299
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: you're like, I can see this h two years into

300
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: the future.

301
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 7: It's red flags and like when they're not even there though.

302
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: So if you're cool with telling us, like, what was

303
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: it that transitioned you from being hopelessly in love to

304
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: this new like you know, feelings about love and kind

305
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: of from a hopeful romantic to a hopeless one.

306
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 7: I feel like confidence maybe, like and like relying more

307
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 7: on myself rather than I felt like I relied on

308
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 7: other people before. And I'm like, I don't need anyone

309
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 7: with myself, like and that's that's it.

310
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: That's very beautiful, by the way. That's I love that

311
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of people they get lost

312
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: in the trap of like thinking that they need somebody

313
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: to complete them.

314
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 7: But actually, because that was me completely like my whole

315
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 7: life pretty much, I was like, I feel like I

316
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 7: just need this one person. If I get this one person,

317
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 7: like because I was such a hopeless romantic I'm like,

318
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 7: if I do this, if I get this person, if

319
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 7: they love me, like my life would be great, all

320
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 7: my problems are going to go away, blah blah blah.

321
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 7: But that obviously doesn't work like that. And I feel

322
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 7: like it comes from you. You know, and you're born you,

323
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 7: and you leave you so like and you're stuck with

324
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 7: you for the time between.

325
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like that's that. It's an interesting thing because you

326
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: you you would like it to be that easy, right, Yes,

327
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: they're great you come into relationship with them, life's beautiful forever.

328
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: But actually you need to like do long, hard work

329
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: on your way with yourself and it's less of a

330
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: of a sexy notion because it's a long, arduous process

331
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: that really never ends ultimately. Yeah, but it's all for

332
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: the best, right because you're full because at the very

333
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: even though it's a harder thing, you're in control. Yeah,

334
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: you're like you you in a relationship, You're like, yeah,

335
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: fifty percent of control.

336
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 7: Is totally and now it's just like one hundred percent.

337
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 7: This sounds so cliche, No.

338
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: It's cliche. The cliche for a reason.

339
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, and like but now it's like one hundred percent

340
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 7: time for me, and like I'm I'm studying to be

341
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 7: a surgeon. So like now I'm like one hundred percent

342
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 7: of my time is dedicated for me and my school

343
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 7: and my career and my future.

344
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 9: And it's like.

345
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 7: I don't know what the word is, like beautiful, it

346
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 7: is very beautiful, like it's motivating. Then it's just like

347
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 7: my time, like my time is set for what I

348
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 7: want to do and I'm not picking up for anyone

349
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 7: else or answering to anyone else.

350
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: Can I ass you this? Because so this this relationship,

351
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: was your idea of love's soured or your idea of

352
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: this person specifically love? What was it that soured it?

353
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: Was it something about him or was it something about

354
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: just the general feeling of being in a relationship.

355
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 7: I think that my whole life, as I said, I

356
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 7: felt like if you had love, that like you had

357
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 7: everything or something you were, you made it. You Like

358
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 7: when I got engaged, I felt in that moment like

359
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 7: this is it. I made it. I got someone loves me,

360
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 7: someone you know, And I thought that that was like

361
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 7: the epitome of of the meaning of our lives. But

362
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 7: over the past few months, like I've realized that family

363
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 7: yep end your social life your work life, your personal life,

364
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 7: your spiritual life. Like there's so many components to like

365
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 7: making your life happy, and it's not just love that

366
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 7: makes you And so yeah, I think that, I mean, yeah,

367
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 7: like that person specific definitely like soured it a bit,

368
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 7: But I think it's just the idea that love is

369
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 7: an added bonus onto your life, but it's not the

370
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 7: whole part of your Like it's not everything of your life.

371
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: What kinds of things have you been doing that you

372
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: felt like you couldn't do when you were in the

373
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: relationship now that you're saying so.

374
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 7: Much, so much. I've been going out a lot, but

375
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 7: like not like in a bad way, like I mean

376
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 7: going outs and like seeing my friends so much more.

377
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 7: I built my Like my sister's here right now. I've

378
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 7: had such a great relationship with my sister lately, my

379
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 7: mom more time for like my family. I've been grinding

380
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 7: in school.

381
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: Like when you said you're to be you say you're

382
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: going to be a surgeon, I was like, that's gonna

383
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: take Are you gonna be working like one hundred hours

384
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: a week? Which you should, I mean it should be

385
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: everyone who is studying medicine. It should be really hard

386
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: to become a surgeon. You know.

387
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 7: It's just you don't want someone that has like no

388
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 7: work ethic working on your brain. But yeah no, uh,

389
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 7: time for a lot more time for God, a lot

390
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 7: more time for just whatever I want to do. Really,

391
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 7: and like I felt like I when I was in

392
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: that relationship, I was kind of scheduling my things around.

393
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: The other person.

394
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, which, like I guess it is like that in

395
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 7: a relationship. It's like give and take or whatever. But

396
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 7: it's such a huge sense of freedom I feel now.

397
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 7: And I think I feel this freedom because I've learned

398
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 7: that love isn't Ever before when I had gone through

399
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 7: a breakup or what have you, like it felt devastating,

400
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 7: but this time around, it's been like so much more

401
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 7: like motivating.

402
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: I love that because it is a devastating thing to realize, like,

403
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: oh the thing I thought was gonna be the endl

404
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: be all? Actually is it? Because you're like what do

405
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: I do now? So it starts devastating, but then you're like, oh,

406
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm not done. There's so much more to your life.

407
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: It's beautiful, don't.

408
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 7: Get me wrong. Like did I go on a man

409
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 7: expiral after like one hundred percent? I drove twenty hours

410
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 7: to Florida, like when it happened to see my family

411
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 7: that live down there. But like I got over it,

412
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 7: like I worked through it and now I'm like, I'm

413

Speaker 1: talking about, Like she she thought that love was the

429
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: most important thing in life, and then it kind of

430
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,560

Speaker 10: So yeah, I do that. Actually, today is really like

447
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 10: it's really like a monumental day for me, and it's crazy.

448
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 10: I get to do this because I've been fighting this

449
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 10: case for like a couple of years. I ended up

450
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 10: doing like two twenty four months in jail for something

451
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 10: like I did for my mom or whatever, you know,

452
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 10: try to be a family guy as a young adult.

453
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 10: I was eighteen, so I did twenty four months and

454
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 10: then I still had to deal with the case after that,

455
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 10: and today was the last day of everything.

456
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 4: So I'm officially a free man.

457
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: Graduation. That's awesome. That's awesome. So you said you did something,

458
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and we don't have to get into the specifics very thing,

459
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: but what's your relationship like with your mom? Man?

460
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 10: Well now, like me and my family don't even talk

461
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 10: so really yeah, so it's like I didn't do it

462
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 10: for nothing, but I did it for a reason. If

463
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 10: I went and did it, you know, it wouldn't be

464
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 10: the way it is now with her, she wouldn't probably

465
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 10: be staying where she's staying, or like, you know, I

466
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 10: wouldn't be in a position I'm in.

467
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: So so so you don't talk to her anymore. Nah,

468
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: we don't have to get to that. You don't want

469
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: to get into. But can I ask why, just.

470
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 4: You know, just family stuff.

471
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 10: You come like after doing that much you do twenty

472
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 10: four months in jail, prison as a young adult, you're

473
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 10: not the same no more come out you know, so

474
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 10: like your mentality is different, the way you move, like

475
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 10: everything about you is so different. It's just like you

476
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 10: getting used to society and society getting used to you.

477
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 10: It's just like it takes time to coexist, and sometimes

478
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 10: you just have to be away from the people you

479
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 10: love because it's harder for them.

480
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: Can I hear more about, like any sort of specific

481
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: differences in your mindset that you found when you like

482
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: first came into jail, when you got out.

483
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 10: I mean, like before jail, I was the love of boy,

484
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 10: so you know, I was I was always there for

485
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 10: everybody everything. I wouldn't really do much for myself even now,

486
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 10: like I'm still like I'm a selfless person. Like you know,

487
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 10: I would give people like shoes off my feet, you know,

488
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 10: stuff like that. But going to jail made me realize,

489
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 10: you know, like being that type of person in.

490
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: Jail wouldn't get you far interesting.

491
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 10: You know, Let's say, like I had a female that

492
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 10: I was with. We was with each other probably a

493
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 10: year before I went to jail, and while I was

494
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 10: in jail, like she was messing with my.

495
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 4: Friends and stuff like that. So like like it changed

496
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: a lot.

497
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 10: It showed me like people were not gonna always be there,

498
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 10: Like even like down to family, they they wasn't always

499
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 10: able to send me money or they just wouldn't send

500
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 10: me money or answer my phone.

501
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 4: Calls, no letters, pictures.

502
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 10: But I had certain people that would and like I

503
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 10: would be grateful for certain things. So like I would

504
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 10: like thinking after jail, it's just like you know, you

505
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 10: gotta just don't even worry about what's there and what's not,

506
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 10: just be grateful for it.

507
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: Whatever comes, it comes, like it is what it is.

508
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 4: You can't you got a lift for today.

509
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 10: You can't really think too much on the future, what's

510
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 10: gonna happen, or how you shouldn't like, you know, how

511
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 10: you should do things, cause when you actually get to

512
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 10: that point, you're never gonna do that.

513
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 4: You're gonna act up for impulse.

514
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: So so when you came so you first started out,

515
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: you felt like you were very you know, sort of giving,

516
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: and you're like you would give people the shoes off

517
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: of your feet. And then you came out You're like,

518
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that anymore.

519
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 10: It's not just like I'm not doing it, just like

520
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 10: I was more conscious to it, Like.

521
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, like why I select you with who

522
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: you're giving your energy too?

523
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Like?

524
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 4: Why am I giving you the shoes off of my feet?

525
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: Sure?

526
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: If you wouldn't give me, you know, CRAMMEO for your plate?

527
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: Sure? Sure. So if you're not talking to your family anymore,

528
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: what do you have people in your life that you're

529
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: cool with that you do feel are worthy of your graciousness?

530
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 10: I mean, I feel like everybody's worthy of everything. But

531
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 10: it's just I don't know, you just got to take

532
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 10: the time to you know, come see me talk to me,

533
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 10: figuring me out. Let me figure you out.

534
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: What was it like when you first got out of jail,

535
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: Like what were you doing before? Like were you in

536
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: school or were you working at all? Oh?

537
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 10: No, school was never a thing for me. But like

538
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 10: I said, I dance, you know, and I make music.

539
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 10: So I've been doing that my whole life. I came home,

540
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 10: I started doing like like concerts and stuff like that.

541
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 10: You know, I do the street performing things. So I still,

542
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 10: you know, I stay healthy, I stay in shape. Was

543
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 10: going to the gym just like regular stuff. So I

544
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 10: had to get into like dating. But it's like it's

545
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 10: scary because especially coming out of jail. Sure like you're

546
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 10: you're kind of thirsty or so, Like I wasn't. I

547
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 10: never really cared about stuff like that. It was just

548
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 10: like the fact that I don't want to waste my time.

549
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 10: You may show women a certain type of vulnerability and

550
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 10: it gets held against you, or you may not and

551
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 10: that gets held against you. You can't be too dominant

552
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 10: or assertive.

553
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: You can't be.

554
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 10: Too vulnerable, can't be too sad. It can't be a bitch,

555
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 10: Like what am I supposed to do?

556
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: So when you say that you're kind of like navigating

557
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: the dating world very carefully. Are you like looking to

558
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: hook up? Are you looking for like an actual kind

559
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: of stable relationship.

560
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 10: I mean, I can't hook up with nobody that I

561
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 10: can't have a conversation with. Sure, I'm not gonna lie

562
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 10: because it's just like a nut might be a nut

563
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 10: or whatever, but you know, it's still it's still time

564
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 10: and energy that comes with that. Like I'm Native Americans,

565
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 10: so like I'm very spiritual, So like I do believe

566
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 10: in like when you do certain things and you swap

567
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 10: and stuff like that, that's your bodily aways going into me.

568
00:24:59,040 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: Me.

569
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 10: You know, I'm going into you like I don't want

570
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 10: to I don't want to finish, And the next day

571
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 10: I'm fucking depressed. While am I depressed? I just had

572
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 10: some great sex, Like you know, it shouldn't like you

573
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 10: shouldn't feel like that. So I really like I'm really

574
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 10: more like on point with who take my time with?

575
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned that you're a very spiritual guy. Do you

576
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: have like a main sort of fetis spiritual belief that

577
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: that guides you.

578
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 10: I mean, not necessarily, it's just like in my heritage

579
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 10: and like you know, but at the end of the day.

580
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 10: I do trip a lot, you know, So when it do,

581
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 10: like when I when I am like becoming like one

582
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 10: with myself or like trying to get into my roots

583
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 10: or like the deeper meaning of life, I just you know,

584
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 10: trip and just think it's it's not really much to it.

585
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 10: You don't need religion, you don't really have to you know, worship,

586
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 10: but a dominance or anything.

587
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 5: It's all.

588
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess I feel like it's all within yourself.

589
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 10: We here, we just we here, see yourself. When you die,

590
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 10: it's over, there's no there's nothing, so yeah, I just

591
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 10: gotta take it in while it's here.

592
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: I feel that I feel any time I think about that,

593
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: I feel very inspired to be just in the moments

594
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: because this is all we got. Exact future's not guaranteed.

595
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: Fast is over right, right? What got you into music?

596
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: You're break dancing? How have you been doing that just

597
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: your entire life? Or do you remember kind of like

598
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: what started you doing that?

599
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: Funny things?

600
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 10: It's funny my mom said I came out dancing like

601
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 10: literally yeah, she said, I came out like doing the

602
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 10: Superman moves.

603
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: So like, yeah, like dancing has.

604
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 10: Like been in my blood like nobody my family has

605
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 10: any talent. I got two younger sisters and I have

606
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 10: a older brother. Nobody has any talent, so like they

607
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 10: just do like regular stuff, you know, go to school

608
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 10: or whatever. So it's like that I took that serious

609
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 10: me being young and I I just saw my stuck

610
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 10: with my whole life.

611
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: That's the outlet to you know, anything that's going on.

612
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: And you make music too, Yeah, I make music. What

613
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: kinds of things inspire your music?

614
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 10: Hurt, heartbreak, struggles, you know, like all the bad stuff,

615
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 10: all the bad stuff, like you know, the good stuff

616
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 10: is like we could talk about all the good stuff,

617
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 10: but it's like like how nonsalant do you want us

618
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 10: to be? I'm not like every other rapper or artist

619
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 10: that's gonna say, you know, women is the money that

620
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 10: because at the end of the women and the money,

621
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 10: how are you really feeling? So I talk about all

622
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 10: the bad stuff and hopefully bring the bad stuff to life.

623
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 4: So that way is like more of a like a

624
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 4: like awareness music.

625
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Does it feel like a healing process to you to

626
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: take all the bad stuff going on with you and

627
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: like put it into something.

628
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely, definitely. And it's not just like it's healing

629
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 10: for me. It's also like helping for others, so like,

630
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 10: because a lot of people call me or like text me,

631
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 10: like fans are like random people tell me like I've

632
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 10: cried to your music before it so like, and it's

633
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 10: just like like damn, like I had the power to

634
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 10: touch somebody, so like, I mean just me knowing that

635
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 10: I can, you know, touch somebody else. That's healing in itself.

636
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 10: Like it doesn't even matter about the music. I just

637
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 10: want to give my point across.

638
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,679

Speaker 5: Please, thank you, Jel.

698
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: Let me think of mine. When I was in high school,

699
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: I really wanted to be and I chickened out. I

700
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: didn't do it. But I wanted to be Sebastian in

701
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: The Mermaid because in the shower I sing under the

702
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: sea all the time, and I feel like it'd be

703
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: a fun song to sing in front of an audience.

704
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 5: I love it. I mean, well, t V Diggs just

705
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 5: stole your role? Who did d V Diggs?

706
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: One? The new One? The remake in all the classic movies.

707
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's okay.

708
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 11: So I loved The jungle Book right, the initial jungle Book,

709
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 11: and then I just felt like it went downhill from there.

710
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: Right, it remade the Jungle Book, didn't they the remake?

711
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 11: I'm saying the remake of the Jungle Book, Like the

712
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 11: first live action that they did was fucking amazing, and

713
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 11: then everything else I thought was kind of it just right.

714
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: It's weird because the timeline they did the Jungle Book

715
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: back in like twenty like ten or something, and then

716
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: now they're like, Okay, let's do everything else.

717
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 11: Right exactly because it's an easy you know, they've already

718
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 11: written all the stories, so it's just like easy money

719
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 11: Disney Joel.

720
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your dream roll? Dream roll?

721
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 11: In musical theater, I'd want to play Princeton and Avenue Q.

722
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 11: Have you seen Avenue Q?

723
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: I Love Avenue Q.

724
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 5: Avenue Q's I Love Avenue Q.

725
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: Man.

726
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 11: That was her favorite musical. So when I was like

727
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 11: two years old, she'd be playing, you know, like the

728
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 11: Internet is for porn, Internet is for porn. Everyone was Fuck,

729
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 11: everyone's a little bit racist, just like in the house

730
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 11: while I was learning how to walk.

731
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, so I think have you seen it live? Yeah,

732
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: that's awesome.

733
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 5: I saw it with my mom actually when we first

734
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 5: came to New York.

735
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Man Off Broadway before it closed, that's awesome.

736
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: So you're studying to be musical theater what do you

737
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: what do you?

738
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 10: I mean?

739
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask what do you want to do?

740
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: I assume you want to go be a an actor? Okay,

741
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: that'd be cool. What is it that makes you want

742
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: to do that? What is it about the lights, the people,

743
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: the action?

744
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 11: I think everyone's kind of searching for human connection, right, yeah, sure,

745
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 11: I mean that's kind of how I feel when I'm

746
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 11: in a show.

747
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: I'm connecting with others.

748
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 11: I'm connecting with you right now, and there's this like

749
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 11: sense of love and belonging that I think that I

750
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 11: can't or I haven't really been able to find in

751
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 11: any other thing that I've done interesting and obviously, you know,

752
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 11: like the more I did it, the more I realized

753
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 11: like I was actually good at it, and then I

754
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 11: couldn't really see myself doing anything else, like if I

755
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 11: was gonna go into math.

756
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: Were there things that you tried before musical theater when

757
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: you were kind of like trying to figure yourself out

758
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: that like didn't quite work well.

759
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 11: My dad's Argentinian, right, and so they have an amazing

760
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 11: soccer team. And so I did a lot of sports

761
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 11: growing up, Like I did soccer until I was probably five,

762
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 11: actually did until I was seven. I did soccer when

763
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 11: I was seven, and then I did baseball, and then

764
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 11: I did basketball. But you can't really play those sports

765
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 11: if you're scared of the ball, right, And when you

766
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 11: get older, there's this really interesting thing that happens where

767
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 11: people actually start to take it seriously and they they've

768
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 11: become competitive, and so like that's when like checking starts

769
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 11: getting becoming a thing, and it's.

770
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 5: I'm not for that, Like I don't like pain.

771
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: And you know what's you know what is interesting about

772
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: what we're talking about here is like there's there's the

773
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,479
Speaker 1: fear of physical danger of I'm gonna get fucking decked,

774
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: of I'm gonna get a baseball to the face. That

775
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: is like, you know, a primal scary thing. Yeah, And

776
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: then there's the fear of I'm gonna go out there

777
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: in front of five hundred people and I'm gonna fucking

778
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: sing a song and I'm gonna put myself out there

779
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: in a vulnerable position. And that's a fucking scary thing too.

780
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: That's a fear that you've been able to overcome.

781
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 11: That's more emotional pain, right, I think, like physical pain

782
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 11: like bleeding or it seems a little bit more daunting

783
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 11: to me, right, Like I mean I don't really have

784
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 11: to go in with a fear of like, oh I

785
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 11: could die on stage, right, Like, I mean it's happened,

786
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 11: but like that's not really like in my control versus.

787
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: Like when you when you perform, do you get nervous

788
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: at all? Or are you typically good with the crowd?

789
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 11: I used to not get nervous at all, really, and

790
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 11: then I think when it became something that was like

791
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 11: more serious, right Like if now if I go on stage,

792
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 11: especially like if it's in front of a New York

793
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 11: audience or something like that, I do get more nervous

794
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 11: because I know people are there's there there's more of

795
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 11: a of a high quality theater scene. He expectation or

796
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 11: expectation of like oh this, like is he going to

797
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 11: live up to whatever anyone else does? And so like

798
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 11: I think it's it's the judgment that probably makes me

799
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 11: more nervous than anything interesting of judgment?

800
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: Do you do you do you have a fear of judgment?

801
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: And is that just like you know, I mean, if

802
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: you're willing to talk about it, like, is that a

803
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: thing in your personal life at all? Or is that

804
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: like just on the stage, Like how are you with

805
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: like being confident about just being yourself and just in life.

806
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 11: I think it's it's both. I think I I think

807
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 11: I feel it everywhere. I mean, I bring kind of

808
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 11: who I am as a person to the stage.

809
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

810
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 5: Sure, middle school kind of screwed me up.

811
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about middle school. You're down? What's up in

812
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: middle school?

813
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 5: Yeah? I had a lot of friends who were.

814
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 11: They're like fake friends, right, Yeah, they pretended to be

815
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 11: friends with me, but it was only as like a oh,

816
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 11: like and then we're going to break off and exclude

817
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 11: you and do our own.

818
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: Middle schoolers are strangely Mackavelian in that way.

819
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't understand it.

820
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 11: I think like a lot of people want to feel

821
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 11: a sense of power in middle school, and like they.

822
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: I don't even I don't even.

823
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm like talking about it, is I know what

824
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 11: middle schoolers think when like I've repressed it so far

825
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 11: in my memory, like deep down that I don't remember

826
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 11: anything that happened. I just know that I have some

827
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 11: untapped trauma from middle school that I just I've just

828
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 11: chosen to ignore.

829
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: And and like, nowadays, do you feel like you have

830
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: a good support system, You got good friends that you

831
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: can count on being true?

832
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, high school definitely. When I became more mature.

833
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, like could actually carry myself confidently.

834
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 5: The right people gravitate towards you.

835
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: It's a When I was in middle school, I also

836
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: like had you know, I was very nervous. And you

837
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: grow up and you realize everyone was you know, the

838
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: people who were like you know, the kids who whatever

839
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: you could say, they were the popular kids, and like

840
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, uh uh, they would make you feel a

841
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: little bit weird. But then you grow up and you

842
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: meet you ever meet have you met up with anyone

843
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: from middle school in your adult life? You're an adult,

844
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: they're an adult, and then you are like, everything that

845
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: was going on in middle school is so stupid. Yeah it happened.

846
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, they're all so nice to me after they've

847
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 11: treated me like like dirt for the fast, Like it's

848
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 11: just the weirdest thing ever, Like people completely change, both

849
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 11: on their end and on my end. You know, like

850
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 11: I learned more to not really be affected by those

851
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 11: kind of people. But they've also realized what they were

852
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 11: doing in the past was kind of shitty, and so

853
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 11: they've been nice to more people because they've realized that

854
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 11: kindness gets them farther in life. And so it's just

855
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 11: really wild to see them again if you go to

856
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 11: reunion and stuff.

857
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 1: What I this is a loaded question here, but how

858
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: do you from the kind of insecure middle time, middle

859
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: school times and to now what do you feel like?

860
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: What tools have you gained to help you navigate through life?

861
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 5: Lead with love.

862
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 11: Because that's what everyone needs. I was listening to.

863
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 5: What was the name of the woman.

864
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 11: Who got who was supposed to be engaged then j

865
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 11: Janey she was. She said something really profound about like,

866
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 11: you know, after you after she realized that she didn't

867
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 11: have love anymore, that she realized that she could anchor

868
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 11: herself and family and friends and work, and like, I

869
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 11: think that.

870
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 5: Love exists in all of those things.

871
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, there's like a love pie charge and

872
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: they all are kind of creating a little symphony. And

873
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: so she.

874
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 11: Was actually I think searching for love and other places

875
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 11: of her life that she didn't realize it existed. And

876
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 11: I just find that fascinating. I'm still trying to find

877
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 11: more love and it doesn't necessarily have to be held

878
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 11: by the people who I think I need it from, right.

879
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: M Well, Joel, thanks for sharing all of this stuff. Man,

882
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 5: For myself?

883
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh oh god, I tokay. If you don't know,

884
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: I should know. Yeah, there's no reason to know. We

885
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: don't even know if there's going to be a future.

886
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: There could be a meteor. Yeah, I just happened to

887
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs. It could happen to us.

888
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 11: I hope that like my future self looks back on

889
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 11: my past self and says like, hey, like you made

890
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 11: the right decision there. You made the right call there,

891
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 11: because there are so many decisions that we're going to

892
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 11: be faced with in life that I don't think anyone's

893
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 11: really prepared to make. Yeah, and so if I make

894
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 11: a few right decisions, then I think that's all that matters.

895
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

896
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:52,839

Speaker 13: I just came from class and I actually just saw

921
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 13: a sticker that said calling face timing your mom is

922
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 13: not therapy, and then I ran into therapy.

923

Speaker 12: Get go, this is my therapy.

924
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: Now therapy Gecko is also not therapy. I wish I'll

925
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: tack that onto the sticker. When's the last time he

926
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: facetimed your mom?

927
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 12: I called her like as soon as I saw the sticker?

928
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh you did?

929
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 12: Yeah?

930
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,120

931
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: he'd called her in a while?

932
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 12: No, I call her all the time, but she was busy,

933
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 12: so it was a short call.

934
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: What do you typically talk about with your mom life?

935
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 12: You know, catching up? My dad just recently passed.

936
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry to hear that.

937
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 12: Thanks.

938
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, how how's your relationship with your mom?

939
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 12: It's it's good. It's a little different now.

940
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 13: I've come from like a family of three, so now

941
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 13: it's just me and her, so, you know, dynamics changed

942
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 13: a bit.

943
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, can I ask and you know, I know

944
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: it's probably a certain subject and we have to talk

945
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: about it if you don't want to. But when he passed,

946
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: did that kind of bring you guys closer together at all?

947
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 6: Yeah?

948
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 12: We could talk about my dad.

949
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 13: I love my dad and he's awesome, and it did

950
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 13: bring us together. But now I'm like studying away, so

951
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 13: that's kind of hard.

952
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: Where are you studying away here?

953
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 12: I'm from Miami.

954
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh cool, cool? What made you want to come to

955
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: New York?

956
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 13: My dad actually instilled New York into me. I was

957
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 13: born here, but he really gave me that passion for

958
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 13: New York. And yeah, everything I do is because of him.

959
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: Tell me more about everything that you do. What are

960
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: what are you studying?

961
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 12: I go to n y U. I made my own major.

962
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: You can you do that?

963
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

964
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 12: You can?

965
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 5: What's It's called the Esthetics of Blackness?

966
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 13: So I basically see the ways that black people function

967
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 13: within different art sectors and the way art is representative

968
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 13: of black people, and how black people have influence art

969
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 13: in return.

970
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: How what what year are you in school?

971
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 12: I'm like a junior slash senior.

972
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: Okay, And are you when you get to a senior

973
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: are you gonna have to write like a senior thesis

974
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: of some kind? Do you know kind of what the

975
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: thesis statement of the these this is going to be?

976
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: I don't interesting.

977
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 13: It's really weird because I got into like what I

978
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 13: do because of my dad, and I would always like

979
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 13: call him when I have papers and stuff. So now

980
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 13: it's kind of like me learning how to fend for

981
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 13: myself and discover myself and stuff.

982
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are some like kind of central truths or

983
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 1: main ideas that you've taken away from from your studies.

984
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 12: A central truth.

985
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 14: I don't know.

986
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 13: It's just really interesting how race like impacts everything in America,

987
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 13: in the world, everything really is systemic. It's really built

988
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 13: off of history, so you have to understand the past

989
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 13: to understand the present and the future.

990
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: Is this a subject that you've always been very interested in? Yeah?

991
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 12: I would say so. Yeah.

992
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: What did you want to be when you were like

993
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 1: a little kid?

994
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 13: When I was a little kid, I wanted to go

995
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 13: to n y U, which I do, Okay, and I

996
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 13: I think I wanted to do fashion or something.

997
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 1: Not sure? Do you are you still into fashion now?

998
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:01,680

00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,799

00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: Is it Amazon? Or do you like thrift stores?

1001
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 12: I'm poor.

1002
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 13: I don't know. I like shopsider. That's a good one

1003
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:15,959
Speaker 13: for my poor bitches out there.

1004
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: Okay. And so your mom is back in Miami, yes,

1005
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: And has it has it been difficult being away from

1006
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: her at this time?

1007
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's been pretty hard.

1008
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: What what kinds of things do you like kind of

1009
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: do to keep a good relationship with her.

1010
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 13: It's really just important to just check up on each other,

1011
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 13: you know. Mental health is important obviously, and we're just

1012
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 13: trying to be strong for each other, so you have

1013
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 13: to recognize that, you know, there might be a facade

1014
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 13: behind the stringth.

1015
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Has it been hard to like keep

1016
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: up a do Do you feel like a need to

1017
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: keep up a facade of some kind?

1018
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 13: I actually do, Like I just I don't want to

1019
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 13: see my mom cry. My mom doesn't want to see

1020
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 13: me cry. So I don't know, but we do need

1021
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 13: to talk about my dad to each other because we're

1022
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 13: the only people who really understand.

1023
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: So it's you don't have any siblings, just you mom

1024
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 1: and dad. Have you been like talking with any other

1025
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: people that your dad was close to in his life,

1026
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: like any of his friends or people he worked with,

1027
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: or sort of commiserating with other people in his life.

1028
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 13: So my dad was a security guard and he actually

1029
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 13: died at work, but there was like all the kids

1030
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 13: at the school like gave us so many notes and

1031
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 13: letters and like the beautiful ideologies that my dad instilled

1032
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 13: in them and stuff like that.

1033
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 12: So sometimes like just reading those can help.

1034
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,800
Speaker 1: Can I hear any of these of these ideologies that

1035
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:46,839

Speaker 7: Yeah?

1037
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 13: I think one person said that, like on his like

1038
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 13: last day on earth that he saw like this one

1039
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 13: kid who looks sad and he was like, what's wrong, buddy,

1040
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 13: And then the kids like like these kids are you know,

1041
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 13: bullying me and making fun of me? And then he

1042
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 13: was like one of the last things he said was

1043
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 13: to like uplift some child, and he was like, you know,

1044
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 13: don't ever let these kids get to you. You have

1045
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 13: to know who you are yourself. And once you know that,

1046
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 13: like their words won't affect you.

1047
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's great. That's cool that that he worked

1048

00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 3: do here too, but especially in this area in between classes.

1090
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 14: It's just like nice to just people watched.

1091
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 3: Where in California from I'm from Orange County.

1092
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: Okay, cool? I mean I'm in town here from la

1093
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: oh really yeah? And I got to say I'm with you.

1094
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a way better place to

1095
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: people watch. It's a way different energy a lot of

1096
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: places in Los Angeles. I might have said this before,

1097
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: but they kind of look like fake cities that were

1098
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: made to test nuclear weapons on. They don't feel like

1099
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: people actually live there. And here it's a fucking amazing

1100
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 1: human beings walking by, not cars. It's wonderful. What made

1101
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: you want to come here to New York?

1102
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 14: I mean, I don't know.

1103
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: I like sometimes I'm kind of like delusional, so I'm

1104
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 3: just like, oh, for college, I was like, I just

1105
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 3: want to go somewhere far.

1106
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, try New York.

1107
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 3: So I only went to schools from New York and California,

1108
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 3: and I just chose NYU because I was like, that

1109
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 3: seems like.

1110
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 9: A good school.

1111
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 3: And then I ended up getting in and so now

1112
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 3: I'm here. M Yeah, I really like it here, and

1113
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 3: I like the particular school that I'm in.

1114
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: What made you want to go far? Was there like

1115
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: a pent up cabin fever of just being in Orange

1116
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: County for so long.

1117
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah that, but also like I just wanted

1118
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 3: to be able to be by myself, like I really

1119
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 3: like my alone time.

1120
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.

1121
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 14: And I didn't like I love my family, but like

1122
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 14: I need.

1123
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: My space of course, of course, how do you how

1124
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: do you think your family feels about you going so

1125
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: far away? Do you think that they are they like

1126
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: proud of you that you're taking your own initiative to

1127
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: go live your own life, or are they kind of

1128
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: like encouraging you to stay home.

1129
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 3: No, they were pretty supportive about me going away far

1130
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 3: because my mom did the same thing.

1131
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 14: Like she's from or she's from Canada. I grew up

1132
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:38,959
Speaker 14: in Michigan and.

1133
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 3: Then randomly she just decided to go out to California

1134
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 3: and I kind of did the opposite. But like it

1135
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 3: would be a little hypocritical if they wouldn't support that,

1136
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 3: But luckily.

1137
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 14: For me they do.

1138
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 1: What is your what do you study in school?

1139
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 14: I get to like make my own majors?

1140
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: Oh okay, just like Julia.

1141
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'm only a freshman, but so don't really

1142
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 3: know yet. Maybe something in media and music possibly fashioned.

1143
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, what do you make music? Are you interested

1144
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: in making music?

1145
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 3: I mean maybe, like I'm I don't make it right now,

1146
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 3: but like if I've ever were to produce in the future,

1147
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 3: like that'd be pretty fun.

1148
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: Okay. Do you know, like what kinds of themes of

1149
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 1: anything that you would want to make music about?

1150
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 14: M maybe like some R and B. Okay, yeah, but

1151
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 14: I don't know, I kind of like everything.

1152
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: How are you adjusting to being in the city? Are

1153
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: you like, do you do you know anyone here?

1154
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I know a couple of people, like, oh,

1155
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 3: I just made friends with them, but like going in

1156
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 3: here like I didn't know anyone?

1157
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: Was that scary?

1158
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: Like like I like, okay, nice.

1159
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: Would you consider yourself introverted?

1160
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 14: I mean yeah, but also depends on my mood.

1161
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's awesome. That's cool that you weren't afraid,

1162
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: because I mean, that's what. It's a fucking daunting thing

1163
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: to move across the country where you don't know anyone,

1164
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: but you kind of fucking brute force it.

1165
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 3: It sounds yeah, I mean it's all right, like you

1166
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,479
Speaker 3: kind of just go with the flow with life.

1167
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Was what is it that you hope to

1168
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: do in the future.

1169
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 14: I don't know.

1170
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 3: I really don't know. I don't like. When I first

1171
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 3: was applying to college, I wanted to be more fashion based.

1172
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: I was like, maybe a fashion designer. But now since

1173
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm more music based, maybe if I

1174
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 3: were to like plan an organized concert or something like that,

1175
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 3: But I don't really have like a clear.

1176
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a big theme of all the people I've

1177
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: been talking to today of like everyone's you know, I

1178
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: like talking to people about what they're thinking about doing

1179
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,439
Speaker 1: for the future, but everyone's like living day by day

1180
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: in the moment, which is the smart move, you know,

1181
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: because future is never guaranteed, so it's good to be

1182
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: living now. What's your name again, Sarafina? Is there anything

1183

Speaker 1: computer before we go?

1185
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,560

00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 1: So your money, your whole your whole life is gonna

1245
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: be about counting money.

1246
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 6: It's gonna be about money. Yeah.

1247
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: What is it about money that is so enthusiastic towards it?

1248
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 6: Gives you freedom?

1249
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: So let's say you had all the money in the world,

1250
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 1: Let's sell you just what what to you is an

1251
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: amount of money where if you reached it, you'd be like,

1252
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm chilling, I'm free.

1253
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 6: Thirty million.

1254
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: Let's say you had thirty million. Yeah, what are we

1255
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: doing on Wednesday? What's the day of your life? Like

1256
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: you thirty million dollars?

1257
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 15: In thirty million, Well, I will never stop working and

1258
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,240
Speaker 15: really yeah no, really no.

1259
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:52,919
Speaker 1: You would never stop working even if you have thirty

1260
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: million dollars.

1261
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 6: No, why because there's more money to be made.

1262
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 15: And I think complac and see is pretty much the

1263
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 15: death of any man.

1264
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 1: So interesting. Interesting, So at that point when you have

1265
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars but you want to keep working because

1266
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: you don't want to be complacent, it feels like it's

1267
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: less about the money and like I want a bigger yad,

1268
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: I want a larger house, and more about just you know,

1269
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: you like the grind.

1270
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's both like you could want more things and

1271
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 15: you can also just like the grind because you don't

1272
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,919
Speaker 15: want to, you know, get lazy. I mean you could

1273
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 15: pursue other things. You could pursue the gym. You know,

1274
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 15: you'll have freedom to have time to do that. But

1275
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 15: also like, dude, if I had thirty million dollars, I'll

1276
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 15: tell you what I would do, honestly, pa, honestly place

1277
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 15: So I just made thirty million dollars, automatically buy a house,

1278
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 15: buy all that shit.

1279
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 6: Right then we're clubbing, you.

1280
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 15: Know, we're hanging out with models, we're in the Bugatti Lambo,

1281
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 15: we're having a great time, and we just wake up

1282
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 15: in a different country, like and I even in a

1283
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 15: different state, different country.

1284
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: You know. People like to say this, They like to

1285
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,919
Speaker 1: be like, well, one day, you know, hedonic treadmill, you'll

1286
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: get sick of the models, You'll get sick of the cars,

1287
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: You'll get sick of the country. Is never No, No,

1288
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get sick of it. I think it'd be awesome.

1289
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 6: That's what people who don't have the money saying.

1290
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that sounds pretty cool.

1291
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1292
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: Do you hope to get there one day?

1293
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

1294
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, what does the path there look like?

1295
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 15: The path is working extreme, Like, just keep working hard, investing.

1296
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 6: I don't get tired.

1297
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,359
Speaker 15: So that's why I work two jobs, and I also

1298
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 15: go to school because I don't feel I feel a

1299
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 15: lot of energy all the time.

1300
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's an interesting thing. You're you're on your grinds.

1301
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 1: You're working on all these jobs. But to you, like,

1302
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: you do not get tired. Do you not get like

1303
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: stressed out from the grind? Do you not burn out

1304
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: at all? No, you're just wired differently.

1305
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 15: Yeah, because I don't see it as a chore. I

1306
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 15: see it towards I see it as like I must

1307
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 15: do it in order to get to.

1308
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: Where I want to be interesting.

1309
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 15: And let's say I got a job at the bank

1310
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 15: making thirty an hour, nine.

1311
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 6: To five, right, I would literally go.

1312
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 15: I would still go to my regal job immediately after

1313
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 15: and work six to eleven interesting, fifteen.

1314
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: Interesting, and and and there's no like pain points to

1315
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: any of this. You never are like at the end

1316
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: of you know, a six am to two am day

1317
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: and you're like fucking fuck, or the whole time you're like,

1318
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm in and I'm alive. We're grinded.

1319
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 15: No, if it was like six to two, obviously I'd

1320
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 15: be tired. But I need to do what I have

1321
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 15: to do regardless of how I feel.

1322
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: So have you always been this way or is this

1323
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: something that you you adapted at some point in your life.

1324
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 15: I think after high school. I'm twenty two, I'm about

1325
00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 15: to be twenty two in like a month. So I've

1326
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 15: been in college for four years now almost. I think

1327
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 15: after high school I adapted that.

1328
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you kind of like could you pin

1329
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: it to anything about what made you make this adaptation?

1330
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 6: Being poor?

1331
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 15: So yeah, realizing that, like, yeah, just people around me, like,

1332
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 15: if you're lazy, you're.

1333
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 6: Not gonna get anything done.

1334

1336
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 15: Or try to surround myself with people who do. Okay,

1337
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,560

1343
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 15: go to school, do what you have to do. She's

1344
