1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Podcast playground. Well, Hi, I'm buzz Night. I am the

2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: host of the Taken a Walk podcast series, and I

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: love rambling and ambling around New York City, and I

4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: think it might be a good time to try to

5
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: take a walk with a perfect stranger. We're in Washington

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Square Park and what's your name? My name is Viketour

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: paris complete stranger, Victor. Can you spell that vik t r?

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: So it's like Victor, but like in a different way.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. My mom, I mean, I actually know

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 1: the story. She was gonna originally name me Victor, and

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: then the nurse that handed me to her when I

12
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: was born she mispronounced my name. My mom stuck with it,

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: and is it created a complex for you at all? Honestly,

14
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: that's funny you mentioned that. Yeah, today I was in

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: class in school, and you know, I just tell my

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: friends to just call me Vic. But it's it's sometimes

17
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: hard people getting the vicer the pronunciation. It could be

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: tough for some people. So Washington Square Park right here,

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the great NYU. So I imagine you go to NYU

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: of course, yeah, and you're early on in your career there.

21
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea what you're going to do

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: with your life. I mean it's still early. I'm only

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: eighteen years old, you know, but I originally wanted to

24
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: go into some of my economics, but now I'm leading

25
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: more towards like something entrepreneurship. I guess. Oh, I see

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: a great media class here. I know. There's a guy

27
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: named Larry Miller who actually was on the Taking a

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Walk podcast the NYU Music Business Department. Okay, he's an

29
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: amazing teacher, So maybe you steer yourself that way. You

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: never know. Yeah, there's still times of such classes. Now

31
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: that you're saying that, I probably should. Honestly, there's actually

32
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: another guy too who's really interesting. His name is Jerry

33
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: del Colliano. Okay, and Jerry, I think, is part of

34
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: the same Larry Miller n YU group if you will,

35
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: the Music Business Department. How do you know them? Well,

36
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm from the radio business. Originally I started this podcast

37
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: about it a year ago, but used to be around

38
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:41,279
Speaker 1: radio and media in general, and you know, decided to

39
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: start this podcast. Generally we talked to authors and musicians

40
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: and all the different types of people, but we do

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: just talk to regular people. So that's why I decided, like, well,

42
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: why not do Taking a walk with a perfect strangers.

43
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: Anybody ever interviewed you just off of the street, like

44
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: in a perfect stranger kind of scenario. This is definitely

45
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: my first time ever being like interviewed as a perfect stranger.

46
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: I was just sitting down journaling, and I think it's's escalating.

47
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I guess it's kind of nice. You're okay with it.

48
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: I'm completely okay with that. I like it a lot, honestly. Yeah,

49
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 1: well you feel I mean, some people, especially in New York,

50
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: they they can run the other way certainly, you know.

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, actually New York people are friendly and all

52
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 1: in their own way, gregarious, sociable by and large. Right,

53
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: there's some people that would rather not talk to you.

54
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: So do you have any questions for me? Honestly, like

55
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: the second there's like a bunch of questions I have

56
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: to ask. What's like, like what am I doing with

57
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: my life? No? No, not at all. No, here's a question.

58
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: Do you have any It's like if you could do

59
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: something over again. Regrets very few. I do have one

60
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: regret though. I was asked by Bob Dylan to do

61
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: a shot of whiskey one time. I was with nine

62
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: other people. We were backstage and all of us were

63
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: petrified when we saw Bob going because you know, the

64
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: voice of the generation blah blah blah. And so he

65
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: asked us that question, and we all kind of recoiled,

66
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: and so I didn't do the shot of whisky, none

67
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: of us did. I do regret that, because there's never

68
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna be another shot that I'm ever going to get.

69
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: That's a huge opportunity. Maybe you're Bob Dylan, I'm taking

70
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: this out. Yeah, but you know, maybe there's another opportunity

71
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: with somebody else that I'll seize at that moment. I

72
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: guess the only other regret probably that I had was

73
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: I should have pursued it being a game show host. No,

74
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, uh you all, I mean listening to college.

75
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: That's all we did is watch you know, like stupid

76
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: game shows always start time. Don't do that. Don't follow

77
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: my lead on that, I promise you. Vike Door. Yes,

78
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: it's so great to take a walk with a perfect stranger.

79
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: And I wish you well in school and and beyond

80
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: and go conquer the world. Thank you, good luck with

81
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: all your future dovers too. Thank you, thank you,
