Speaker 5: She'll start licking your face a lot. And it's pretty
Speaker 5: difficult to you know, sob when you have a dog
Speaker 5: licking you all the time.
Speaker 1: It was she trained to do that? Like if you
Speaker 1: she's a natural.
Speaker 2: She grew up in quarantine.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and she just grew up around like learning how
Speaker 5: to receive her my emotions and stuff.
Speaker 1: So interesting, what is it? It's a service dog? Yeah?
Speaker 1: When did when did you get her? You got her
Speaker 1: in quarantine?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so about five years ago.
Speaker 1: Okay, And I have a question for you. But I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a well trained dog. This is a dog
Speaker 1: that's in tune with you. Do you believe that dogs
Speaker 1: have like like what what do you believe is like
Speaker 1: within the consciousness of a dog? Oh my god, you
Speaker 1: can't the dog just like put her hands.
Speaker 2: Yeah you just think I'm nervous. I'm not nervous. Uh
Speaker 2: do Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you think dogs like what goes on in a
Speaker 1: dog's brandy?
Speaker 5: Dogs actually able to read the I think it's the
Speaker 5: left side of your face, like like humans do.
Speaker 2: So if I start like.
Speaker 5: Whoa, then she reacts because she can see that.
Speaker 2: Uh you know.
Speaker 5: And if I get angry or if I start harming,
Speaker 5: like punching myself, she'll react in a similar way, or
Speaker 5: she'll put her body between uh whatever I'm doing to
Speaker 5: harm myself and whoa?
Speaker 1: Interesting? How did you? Uh? How does a dog get
Speaker 1: trained to do that?
Speaker 2: She's just a natural. I have no idea. All dogs,
Speaker 2: all dogs innately can do this. Uh.
Speaker 5: And all dogs are really empathetic too as well to
Speaker 5: their owners.
Speaker 1: So do you I I okay, Like, but there are
Speaker 1: some asshole off yes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's like the fucking bitches, the.
Speaker 1: Wab off the no, no, this is going on. This
Speaker 1: is going on the record, ude, and I'll defend you.
Speaker 1: I hate small dogs. I hate small dogs. Okay, I
Speaker 1: hate small dogs. I hate I hate the crusty white
Speaker 1: especially them. Yeah. I know, I like a big, fluffy
Speaker 1: yeah dog.
Speaker 5: Like, you're not bringing you fucking like small ass HuaHua
Speaker 5: crusty eye to like at therapy meeting or something.
Speaker 2: That's that's why you're going to the therapy.
Speaker 5: Because your fucking small ass crusty dog is I'm curious?
Speaker 1: Okay, So, like it's why it's generally accepted that human
Speaker 1: beings can be good or evil. Yeah, Like there's some
Speaker 1: people you can look at you be like, all right,
Speaker 1: there's some people they were eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's like yeah.
Speaker 1: But like like do dogs possess the set? Like if
Speaker 1: you see like a dog being an asshole, can you
Speaker 1: be like that's an evil dog? Or because dogs don't
Speaker 1: have the same level of consciouses to make choices you
Speaker 1: think they it's.
Speaker 5: Usually they're brought up like that or there's like a
Speaker 5: like a just order in their in their like a
Speaker 5: rage syndrome or something. But like, but that's why you know,
Speaker 5: we own so many of these dogs, because they're not
Speaker 5: freaking like bouncing on us and like trying to kill
Speaker 5: us when they have the chance.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you didn't have a dog, what kind
Speaker 1: of animal would you have.
Speaker 2: She's just getting she's getting settled, she.
Speaker 1: Just sat down, she's getting nice and.
Speaker 5: Maybe like a large cat, you know, do you know,
Speaker 5: like they they're they're domesticating panthers these days?
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, I mean I guess yeah, they are like large.
Speaker 5: Do you know how cool that would be, like just
Speaker 5: walking around Washington Square Park with the fucking panther.
Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't honestly, I wouldn't be that would.
Speaker 2: Be I definitely beat this. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: Okay, So do you like do you think dogs?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 1: What's she thinking about? Right? Does she have thoughts? Or
Speaker 1: does she live an objective life?
Speaker 2: Usually I looked this up. I was like, what is this?
Speaker 6: Though?
Speaker 5: Usually ninety percent of time just thinking about their owner
Speaker 5: and their well being.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, so what do you what's the dog thinking about?
Speaker 1: If it's in the way and then it's like food
Speaker 1: and stuff.
Speaker 5: Well, this is a domesticated dog with like a wolf
Speaker 5: I don't know, probably like eating people.
Speaker 1: Yo, And I asked you this is not a gotcha question,
Speaker 1: It is genuine like yeah, yeah, like, is is your
Speaker 1: dog kind of like a slave?
Speaker 8: Like?
Speaker 1: Objectively speaking? You low key have a slave a little bit?
Speaker 1: And it's like, look, look, look it's socially all.
Speaker 2: The time she's trained for me.
Speaker 5: She comes at my back and call I decide her food.
Speaker 5: I get it?
Speaker 2: Is she a slave?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 6: This?
Speaker 3: Is this might be bad?
Speaker 2: Do slaves like being slave? Because that what makes them
Speaker 2: a slave?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 1: I think everything you said before is will make someone else.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you're fine, Well you're fine. We live
Speaker 1: in a society where it's okay slave dog, It's okay
Speaker 1: to have a dog as a slave sla So yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we'll come to that agreement.
Speaker 1: I mean, know what's funny is I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're actually they might are they still behind us? PETA
Speaker 1: was doing a protest right behind right there? Okay, Peter
Speaker 1: was here doing a protest now.
Speaker 5: And we're talking about enslaving enslaving dogs.
Speaker 1: Do you think PETA is against like.

Speaker 1: Okay, the word like domesticate, like domesticated is like I
Speaker 1: we domesticated dogs. It's kind of just another word for slave.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean it would Peter be okay with it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I was up there, I was talking to them, and
Speaker 5: they were they were coming up to them, So I
Speaker 5: think I think they're they're cool with.
Speaker 2: Like just enslavements of dogs.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, everything else like freaking chickens, And that's how bad.
Speaker 1: It's funny to what you said about like does it
Speaker 1: count as a slave if they like it? I mean,
Speaker 1: like if you had a slave, and you were like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, look, the slave is doing better than they
Speaker 1: were doing the wild. We give them a nice home,
Speaker 1: we don't do bad things. It's like, well, it's still

Speaker 9: goal in life is really just to like be around
Speaker 9: I guess like the people I love, be around them,
Speaker 9: make like those memories, Like that's what's important to me.
Speaker 9: It's not because you know, no matter where you work,
Speaker 9: no matter what you do, you're always going to be
Speaker 9: like a number or position or whatever. It's about like
Speaker 9: making a difference beyond that about being like in your community,
Speaker 9: you know, elevating people up. That's what's really important, is like,
Speaker 9: you know, being with people. That's why I like to
Speaker 9: work that position because I feel like I get to
Speaker 9: do that a lot. But it's something, you know, a
Speaker 9: little bit more than that. It's not necessarily like a
Speaker 9: position or a goal I strive for. It's for like
Speaker 9: that that level of can I make someone else's day better?
Speaker 9: And that's what brings me happiness is knowing that the
Speaker 9: people around me are happy.
Speaker 10: That's like the ultimate goal.
Speaker 1: And like, have you ever encountered, like, as an AMT,
Speaker 1: have you ever encountered a situation that completely radically changed
Speaker 1: your perspective on life because it was so horrible?
Speaker 9: I feel like there's like there is a lot of that, honestly,
Speaker 9: Like I have those things that like stick out to
Speaker 9: me in my head, but it's a lot of just
Speaker 9: like you know, seeing things that are so easily preventable
Speaker 9: that like, uh, man, let me tell you what electric scooters.
Speaker 10: Electric scooters tell it talk to us.
Speaker 9: Those things are so so crazy, they go so fast,
Speaker 9: and like people don't realize how easy it is to
Speaker 9: crash on those things. It's like all the time, electric scooters,
Speaker 9: electric tutor and they like they mess you up. They
Speaker 9: take out your teeth. I've seen so many people they
Speaker 9: get their teeth taken out. That don't work, costs a lot,
Speaker 9: Like yeah, I wouldn't want. I don't know electric scooters.
Speaker 9: They stressed me out, And I caution everyone who's gonna
Speaker 9: ride them. They they're a mess, isn't it.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is like if you were the
Speaker 1: guy at like what Bird or whatever that whatever the
Speaker 1: companies are, if you or wherever it is, at one
Speaker 1: of these companies before it became commonplace to just leave
Speaker 1: scooters on the sidewalk, okay, and you they hitch you
Speaker 1: and you if you if you were the person who
Speaker 1: made that and you were the first person to pitch
Speaker 1: the idea, people would think you were a fucking maniac.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, of course that's not going to work well.
Speaker 9: And like people ride them at night, so they drop
Speaker 9: them down at like bar clothes at like two am,
Speaker 9: they drop them down to the sidewalk. I mean, that's
Speaker 9: not gonna lead to anything good. I I completely he
Speaker 9: the scooters drive me absolutely insane.
Speaker 1: I know, I hate the idea of.
Speaker 9: Stand them and like you, you're not supposed to ride
Speaker 9: him on the sidewalk. Then you drive them in the street,
Speaker 9: You're gonna you know, piss everyone off who's riding in
Speaker 9: the street. It's a lose lose situation for like everyone.
Speaker 9: I feel like, so get rid of the scooters.
Speaker 1: I I am. I am anti riding an electric scooter
Speaker 1: until I one night am a little drunk and I
Speaker 1: see one and I go, you know what the actually
Speaker 1: that's I'm up. I'm up until that point where.
Speaker 9: You don't get me wrong, definitely been on the electric
Speaker 9: scooter before.
Speaker 10: It's a blasts.
Speaker 1: I take it all back, so.

Speaker 1: heard me talk about me for for eternities and I
Speaker 1: only and I'm and I'm sick of me. I've never

Speaker 1: you don't want to, you wanna? All right, let's let's
Speaker 1: think about this. What can I ask you that's not
Speaker 1: related to anything about your life.
Speaker 8: I mean, I haven't been to Washington Square Park in
Speaker 8: a while, and it feels it feels different than my
Speaker 8: days back at NYU.
Speaker 1: Really, I actually would love to hear more about that.
Speaker 11: It just feels more vibrant than I remember.
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, really, yeah, Okay, I'm actually fascinated to hear
Speaker 1: you say that it feels more vibrant than you remember. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I feel like the common trope is for people
Speaker 1: to go, Oh, this place used to be so much
Speaker 1: better back when I, yeah, was hanging around here. But
Speaker 1: you said that, I've never heard.
Speaker 11: So much say that about New York these days.
Speaker 8: But like, I don't know, it's nice to be around
Speaker 8: people just gathering in a public space, whether it's a
Speaker 8: get go or I don't know.
Speaker 11: I don't remember people using the fountain this way.
Speaker 1: So oh yeah, people are using the fountain as a
Speaker 1: scape park escape park. Wait, so back when you were
Speaker 1: at NYU, what was this park?
Speaker 8: Like, I mean, it was a place where we would gather.
Speaker 8: But like, I don't I don't know. It feels different,
Speaker 8: maybe because I haven't been here in a while.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a.
Speaker 11: Lot of music.
Speaker 8: I mean I see music a little bit more maybe
Speaker 8: back in the day, more people on the grass, but
Speaker 8: I'm seeing a lot of rats.
Speaker 1: Have you lived in New York for a while.
Speaker 11: I've lived in the region, Yeah, my whole life.
Speaker 1: And how do you think it has changed.
Speaker 8: It's changed in that I feel like a lot of
Speaker 8: storefronts are closing, a lot of different businesses, feels a
Speaker 8: little bit more generic than it used to.
Speaker 1: Okay, as a police.
Speaker 8: You thought, you think you see a lot of big
Speaker 8: box stores, yeah, mom and pop?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Do you are there elements of it that
Speaker 1: you think are better than it was before?
Speaker 8: I mean, I don't come in as much these days,
Speaker 8: so I think, I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 11: It's hard to say.
Speaker 1: Has it always been this expensive?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 1: Really, it's gotten worse. Really. I always thought I was
Speaker 1: like trying to look this up. I was like in
Speaker 1: like the nineteen nineties, like I guess, compared to like
Speaker 1: what the wages were or whatever. Has New York like
Speaker 1: always been like comparatively a very York used to.
Speaker 8: Be a place where creatives could come and live and work,
Speaker 8: maybe a job as a waitress or a bartender, and
Speaker 8: get by pretty comfortably.
Speaker 11: It's not that anymore.
Speaker 1: How's life in New Jersey?
Speaker 8: Knife in New Jersey's good, It's cheaper, I would say,
Speaker 8: I think it's more down to earth in some ways.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you meet more uh like down
Speaker 1: to earth people in New Jersey? Yes?
Speaker 11: I do.
Speaker 8: But I've also gotten a lot of New Yorkers who
Speaker 8: are priced out of New York to move in. I'm
Speaker 8: like helping gentrify my city, I think in a way.
Speaker 1: Have you been in New York I've been here for
Speaker 1: about two years?
Speaker 11: Yea, How do you like it so far?
Speaker 1: Oh it's great, it's uh, it's it's I love I can.
Speaker 1: I need to be stimulated at all times, yeah, or
Speaker 1: else I'll start to think. And I don't like when
Speaker 1: that happens. Where were you before I was in Los Angeles?
Speaker 11: New York and Los Angeles compare?
Speaker 1: How to New York and Los Angeles compare both hostilely
Speaker 1: expensive cities. Well, I mean New York's better because you
Speaker 1: can walk everywhere.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh the weather is more variable, but uh, Los Angeles
Speaker 1: is just a big suburb. It's not really a city.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So when you're when you have you been back to
Speaker 8: Los Angeles since you've been here?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: A few times. Do you like?
Speaker 8: Try it does the New Yorker and you come out
Speaker 8: where you want to walk on across highways?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 1: I always want to. I always want to.
Speaker 8: Why?
Speaker 1: I mean, I I I was in venice a lot
Speaker 1: when I was in Los Angeles, and I was that's
Speaker 1: the most New york Y place in Los Angeles Yeah.
Speaker 1: But what's your name again? But Natalie? Natalie? Natalie. Do
Speaker 1: you have any advice for me about life? Yeah?
Speaker 11: In general?
Speaker 8: Yeah, try to find and keep the people you feel
Speaker 8: connected to in your life. I like that, whether you're
Speaker 8: in New York or whether they're in Los Angeles or
Speaker 8: wherever they are.
Speaker 1: Is there anything else do you want to say to
Speaker 1: the people of the computer before we go? Mmmmm?
Speaker 11: Fuck Trump?
Speaker 6: What on?
Speaker 1: Dude? So you're in the universe?
Speaker 11: The universe? Thank you?
Speaker 1: Hello?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 12: Hi?
Speaker 1: Was your name Lola? Nice to meet you.
Speaker 3: It's very nice to meet you too.
Speaker 1: How's life going, Lola?
Speaker 13: Oh it's great, kidding. I've never been into a place
Speaker 13: like this, said all before you in London?
Speaker 1: What about Hyde Park? Actually a hide park sucks compared
Speaker 1: to this? Yeah? Could you want to hold the mic
Speaker 1: up just a little quick?
Speaker 6: Ye? There?
Speaker 13: Ago, I do not think you want to go to
Speaker 13: Hyde Park at this time at all?
Speaker 1: What really is really? Why is it? Is it dangerous?
Speaker 13: It's not personally dangerous, It's just I don't think the
Speaker 13: type of people that you want to surround yourself with.
Speaker 3: That late at night?
Speaker 1: Do you What are you doing here in New York?
Speaker 3: I'm just here on holiday.
Speaker 13: Okay, I think this is truly the American experience talking
Speaker 13: to a gecko in the middle of a park in
Speaker 13: New York.
Speaker 1: What do you what do you think about America?
Speaker 3: I love it here.
Speaker 1: Did you hear did you hear the whole conversation we had?
Speaker 1: Just now? What do you think about all that stuff?
Speaker 3: It's truly something.
Speaker 13: Honestly, it's really weird to see all of you guys
Speaker 13: talk about politics from a breat standpoint, because obviously it's
Speaker 13: just so different to our politics in England.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you like? Do you guys? I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: politics is very probably I mean probably because we're, you know,
Speaker 1: a sort of we're a Newish nation compared to you guys,
Speaker 1: we're talking more about politics than pretty much anywhere else
Speaker 1: in the world, I would assume.
Speaker 13: I just I think it's so interesting about how you
Speaker 13: guys just do it and how you guys work the system,
Speaker 13: because obviously, in England we've got a prime minister, we've
Speaker 13: got a monarchy, and so it's just so interesting to
Speaker 13: see how you guys deal with pretescedency and all of that. Honestly,
Speaker 13: it's just mind boggling to me how you guys all work.
Speaker 1: Do people not talk about like social issues and stuff
Speaker 1: and politics in the UK?
Speaker 3: I mean we do, you definitely do.
Speaker 13: I mean you'll find all types of different people in England,
Speaker 13: but it's not the type of people that you would
Speaker 13: find here, like this whole people talking to one another,
Speaker 13: having interviews on the street, having chess tournaments, the you know,
Speaker 13: the anti meat protest over that. It's honestly just insane
Speaker 13: to me because you'll never find this in England ever.
Speaker 1: Really, why do you think that is?
Speaker 13: I think England has like a sense of community that
Speaker 13: isn't quite conjoining as Americas.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 13: Like, I think this whole sense of community with everyone
Speaker 13: talking to each other, everyone playing around, the skateboarding, the
Speaker 13: chatting to people you've never met, it's just not really
Speaker 13: an English culture thing. I think we're very introvasive compared.
Speaker 3: To all of you.
Speaker 1: Huh. Yeah, yeah, I feel like that is. I feel
Speaker 1: like being Yeah, I feel like America is a relatively
Speaker 1: extroverted ish I think it's.
Speaker 13: So fun though, are you kidding me? I'd love to
Speaker 13: hang out with all Americans. So awesome.
Speaker 1: But also, hold on, I'm thinking about it now, but
Speaker 1: what about like, uh, you know what about like lad
Speaker 1: culture whatever the fuck? Like what about being like you're
Speaker 1: you know, you're a cunt and stuff? Is that Australia.
Speaker 1: That's Australia.
Speaker 3: You know we say that too.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, what about being like, ah, you cunt, you're crazy? Whatever?
Speaker 1: You know, if you have if you have.
Speaker 13: A few good mates sitt England, it's a lot of fun,
Speaker 13: I will say, Okay, like growing up, especially the house
Speaker 13: parties in London were so different to because I grew
Speaker 13: up in both New organ in London, so I've experienced
Speaker 13: both when I was younger. But the house parties in London,
Speaker 13: like the the teenage and spirits in London, I will say,
Speaker 13: it's way more fun honestly, like the house parties we
Speaker 13: when I was little. My birthdays are it's Halloween. We
Speaker 13: used to host this party.
Speaker 3: There was two.
Speaker 13: Hundred people in that and everyone's singing like this traditional
Speaker 13: I say traditional, but it's all like this English music
Speaker 13: and it's just but here in New York you you
Speaker 13: wouldn't find those, especially with teenagers as well.
Speaker 1: M M, so I guess, like so this scene, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: Washington Square Park is a big, crazy place, a bunch
Speaker 1: of eclectic energy, and people talking to each other. But
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see anything like this in London, you don't think,
Speaker 1: no really, I mean.
Speaker 13: You've got you've got a few places. You've got Leicester Square.
Speaker 13: But the most interesting thing I've ever seen there was
Speaker 13: someone hosted a homeless man ring fight and everyone was
Speaker 13: throwing throwing money at it. So that's the most interesting
Speaker 13: thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: And everyone one of them was Scottish.

Speaker 1: that's another. That's another like anthropomorphic creature. Good.
Speaker 13: It's like, honestly, I think because you really have to
Speaker 13: think about the movie, I think that's most fun about it.
Speaker 13: Although that or you know, I was a really big
Speaker 13: Star Wars kid when I was lettle, So maybe one
Speaker 13: of those is up there.
Speaker 3: Really The SpongeBob movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great movie. Have you seen it? Okay,

Speaker 1: To college for?
Speaker 3: Can you guess.
Speaker 1: Botany?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it something flower related?
Speaker 3: Physics?
Speaker 1: Physics? Okay? Cool? What do you hope to do with physics?
Speaker 3: Astrophysics?
Speaker 1: Whoa, holy shit? You want to be like an astronaut?
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 3: I think i'd be too scats going to.
Speaker 1: Stay Why why would you be scared to go to space?
Speaker 3: Because everything is in space? You see?
Speaker 1: But okay, so but if you're an astrophysicist, right, yes,
Speaker 1: you spend all day learning about you spend years learning
Speaker 1: about space. Why would you fear it? You know, you
Speaker 1: know most of what there is to know about it?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 13: I think humans perception on space is so little to
Speaker 13: what actually there is. Yeah, there's infinite possibilities and now
Speaker 13: I say this with leeway, but there is. Honestly, it
Speaker 13: is even unfathomable to think about the concept and the
Speaker 13: size of space. So it's just like, would you really
Speaker 13: want to put yourself into an environment where you don't
Speaker 13: know one hundred percent sure for certainty what's going to happen.
Speaker 3: And also, how do you drink water up there? I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm sure you can figure it out.
Speaker 1: But aren't we aren't we always kind of in some
Speaker 1: form of an environment where we don't know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 13: I think it depends who you are as a person.
Speaker 13: If you're very introverted, I feel like you're very good
Speaker 13: at maintaining your little bubble and your little stircle of privacy.
Speaker 13: But are you Are you an adventurous person?
Speaker 1: I would say so, do you feel do you feel
Speaker 1: like you're like like in a bubble of some kind?
Speaker 13: I think it depends who I surround myself with. I
Speaker 13: think it's important to surround yourself with people who ensure
Speaker 13: that you'll push yourself out of your comfort zone. Yeah,
Speaker 13: not in the sense that you know, go jump off
Speaker 13: that building.
Speaker 1: You'll be fun.
Speaker 13: But I think I think my goal for the next
Speaker 13: coming up, yeah, is to push myself more, especially because
Speaker 13: I'm going to be starting school and I think it's
Speaker 13: good for me.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I mean, I don't know you came to
Speaker 1: America that's cool.
Speaker 13: That's something not not really, I've got I've got friends
Speaker 13: here and I've got family here.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, are you like, do you come here
Speaker 1: by yourself? Do you come here with family?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 13: So when I was when I was little, I went
Speaker 13: to elementary school here, and so you can probably see
Speaker 13: my friends dotting around some I think they want go
Speaker 13: find uh some what was it called Buzzballah, buzzball?
Speaker 1: What about buzz Oh? Wait, they went to go so
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where.
Speaker 3: But anyway, Yeah, I completely forgot what I was on about.
Speaker 13: But I went to elementary school with them, and so
Speaker 13: I've known them for ten odd years now, so I
Speaker 13: thought i'd come visit them.
Speaker 1: Very cool, Very cool. Well let's see what's the number. Okay,
Speaker 1: So so your goal is to is to leave the bubble.
Speaker 1: Before we go, we'll give me one thing you want
Speaker 1: to do to leave the bubble, as in like a
Speaker 1: goal I have for myself.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, I think I want to meet new people, and.
Speaker 3: Not as in like, you know, go out and talk
Speaker 3: to new people.
Speaker 13: But I think I want to travel the world and
Speaker 13: meet people and line all the possible experiences that one
Speaker 13: could have in their life.
Speaker 1: I want to.
Speaker 13: I want to do everything, but I think it's so
Speaker 13: hard because you only have so little time on our Yeah,
Speaker 13: and so I wanna meet new people, meet everyone I
Speaker 13: could possibly meet everyone I could ever talk to and
Speaker 13: just learn and listen to how they live life, that
Speaker 13: there's stories or advice. I think that's definitely a.
Speaker 1: Goal for me. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do too.
Speaker 1: But you're never gonna You're never gonna do it one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. We've got a head start, Huh, You've got
Speaker 1: a head start now. I feel like we got a
Speaker 1: good head start. And uh, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: Think you could ever catch me talking to anyone in public.
Speaker 1: You're talking to somebody in public right now.
Speaker 8: I know.
Speaker 13: I think this is complete the American experience, though, especially
Speaker 13: being from New York.
Speaker 1: Do you feel out of your comfort zone doing this
Speaker 1: interview a little bit? Okay, So this is a good
Speaker 1: head start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, good direction upwards, you know, beautiful. I know, honestly,
Speaker 3: like you would never ever find this in England.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's true. I've done like two or
Speaker 1: three shows in London before.

Speaker 13: When I say this, I mean this whole community, you mean, yeah,
Speaker 13: I don't know if you've ever talked to two a

Speaker 1: I agree, it's like actually it just kind of shifted.
Speaker 1: It's like it's literally shining directly upon us.
Speaker 10: Right, Yes, it is.
Speaker 6: It is a bit of a I suppose you would
Speaker 6: say it's it's it's in the position of a spotlight,
Speaker 6: were you to actually being a studio.
Speaker 4: We are actually in a studio at the moment.
Speaker 6: But the studio is actually uh, we've got a bit
Speaker 6: of a filter on on the sun. The cloud is
Speaker 6: passing over, although most of the sky is blue. But
Speaker 6: we have this now, we have a bit of a
Speaker 6: soft light filter. Now, now we've got the good light.
Speaker 6: Now we're ready to begin.
Speaker 1: It almost makes you feel like you're in the Truman Show,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like it's like we're like
Speaker 1: on a set or some shit.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yes, yeah, But what else is going good? Well,
Speaker 7: I'm back, you're back back, I'm back you're back. I'm back.
Speaker 1: Tell me about being back.
Speaker 4: Well, I've been gone and now I'm back.
Speaker 1: What are you most excited about being back?
Speaker 6: We've got uh the great alignment to uh to look
Speaker 6: forward to and h action adventure, Yeah, friendship, I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: a lot of stuff and maybe even a few surprises.
Speaker 1: Okay, action adventure and maybe even a few surprises. What
Speaker 1: what are you most excited about being back for?
Speaker 6: Well, it's unfinished business, really that uh it's gonna get
Speaker 6: finished this time.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: What is the unfinished business?
Speaker 6: Well, you see, it's a little it's a little bit
Speaker 6: of a story, a long story.
Speaker 1: If you want to tell me, you can excellent.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well you see I was.
Speaker 6: Uh living out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy.
Speaker 8: And uh.
Speaker 6: I was really uh there, you know, man like there
Speaker 6: and it was uh now I'm back and and uh
Speaker 6: and there's some sort of like this energy and there's
Speaker 6: this there's this uh big adventure ahead.
Speaker 1: So what's the unfinished business?
Speaker 6: Well, uh, I'm the BMX kid, the BMX kid, the
Speaker 6: BMX kid.
Speaker 1: I noticed you have you have a bicycle uh with you?
Speaker 4: I do?
Speaker 6: I do?
Speaker 1: Tell me about what what is? What does it mean
Speaker 1: to be the BMX kid. Well, this is uh.
Speaker 6: An important part of the story. I suppose once upon
Speaker 6: a time I was imagined myself to be the BMX kid.
Speaker 1: Yes, and now.
Speaker 4: I'm imagining myself to be the BMX kid again.
Speaker 1: But you but you are currently the BMX You don't
Speaker 1: even have to imagine you are currently the BMX kid.
Speaker 6: Right, But I've returned because there was this gap where
Speaker 6: there was just no BMX kid, no BMX kid at all.
Speaker 6: There's just didn't even exist, I mean everywhere. And so
Speaker 6: the implications of that are actually pretty uh profound. Well,
Speaker 6: it implies that there's a gap after the lightning, before
Speaker 6: the thunderclap. Now, one way that a person could interpret
Speaker 6: this is that there is a gap between the lightning
Speaker 6: and the thunder clap clap yea, and uh, this gap, Well,
Speaker 6: what's happening in the gap? You know there's this gap,
Speaker 6: but it just isn't there. You know, that whole thing's
Speaker 6: like moving. You know, there's even a gap before the flash,
Speaker 6: you know. So that's but this was a gap where
Speaker 6: there was no BMX kid. And then paw, You're back,
Speaker 6: palm bang, Yeah, he's back. So what does that you know,
Speaker 6: what does that implicate? You know, something to think about.
Speaker 1: Do you do you enjoy being the BMX kid?
Speaker 6: Well, I enjoy existence. I'll have to admit that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's unequivocal a striving to Do.
Speaker 1: You enjoy existence in general? Not necessarily existence as the
Speaker 1: BMX kid.
Speaker 4: I don't enjoy suffering very much.
Speaker 1: Do you feel as though you you suffer currently? Well?
Speaker 4: Currently, No, I'm not suffering.
Speaker 1: You guys, I'm very happy to hear that.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 1: And how are you you know, in this very moment,
Speaker 1: as I'm sitting here talking to you, and as you said,
Speaker 1: the sun is aligned and beaming upon us, and as
Speaker 1: we're out and about amongst uh all this very nice
Speaker 1: energy and uh I'm wearing I'm not running around in
Speaker 1: my underwear going crazy. Uh I I feel good. I
Speaker 1: feel good. Well you look good, thanks man.
Speaker 4: It's nice the green Uh? I wonder how uh how
Speaker 4: that works?
Speaker 8: Is it?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: Is there any kind of cooling properties to the greenness?
Speaker 6: Or is it? Uh?
Speaker 1: Is it an energy?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 1: Are you?
Speaker 4: Are you like sucking in a lot?
Speaker 1: I don't know if you feel this on your back,
Speaker 1: but we're getting a lot of runoff, uh missed droplets
Speaker 1: from the fountain behind us, and that's kind of been
Speaker 1: a nice cooling agents. Oh yes, So I want to
Speaker 1: ask h you brought up? Okay, you're back and now
