Speaker 1: Hello, Henry. Hello Mom. Alright, I'm going to get the
Speaker 1: giggling out of the way. I really am so happy
Speaker 1: that you're doing this show because you know how I've
Speaker 1: said in wanting to do this podcast, it's about collecting
Speaker 1: all these different ideas and perspectives from all these different people.
Speaker 1: And to have a twelve year old view of all
Speaker 1: these questions but also of the world is incredibly important
Speaker 1: and interesting. Yeah, we have been discovered as much as
Speaker 1: some of you older folks, so I think it's just
Speaker 1: an interesting point of view. But I don't think you
Speaker 1: think less deeply though. I mean, I feel like you
Speaker 1: are pretty considered person. Thank you, You're welcome. I taught
Speaker 1: you well why you did. Yes, Hello, I'm mini driver
Speaker 1: and welcome to many questions. I've always loved fust questionnaire.
Speaker 1: It was originally an eighteenth century parlor game meant to
Speaker 1: reveal an individual's true nature. But with so many questions
Speaker 1: and there wasn't really an opportunity to expand on anything.
Speaker 1: So I took the format of Proof's questionnaire and adapted
Speaker 1: what I think are seven of the most important questions
Speaker 1: you could ever ask someone they are, when and where
Speaker 1: were you happiest. What is the quality you like least
Speaker 1: about yourself. What relationship, real or fictionalized, defines love for you?
Speaker 1: What question would you most like answered, What person, place,
Speaker 1: or experience has shaped you the most? What would be
Speaker 1: your last meal? And can you tell me something in
Speaker 1: your life that has grown out of a personal disaster.
Speaker 1: The more people we ask, the more we begin to
Speaker 1: see what makes us similar and what makes us individual.
Speaker 1: I've gathered a group of really remarkable people who I
Speaker 1: am honored and humbled to have had a chance to
Speaker 1: engage with. My guest today is Henry Driver. Henry is
Speaker 1: a thoughtful, curious, quick witted lover of video games, music,
Speaker 1: and dungeons and Dragons. Henry is also my son. He's
Speaker 1: been part of the creation of this podcast from the beginning,
Speaker 1: both as intellectual and technical support. I mean, on numerous
Speaker 1: occasions she used to fixed my computer. I mean mostly
Speaker 1: you know, it just wasn't turned on. But he also
Speaker 1: helped me formulate the questions themselves. I wanted to include
Speaker 1: the voice and thoughts of a twelve year old boy
Speaker 1: living in this time of social dislocation and remote everything.
Speaker 1: I always learn a lot from talking to him and
Speaker 1: interviewing him today was no different at all. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you the first question, when and where were you happiest? Wow,
Speaker 1: that's already deep. Um. I think I'd have to say
Speaker 1: on my dad's hammock out on his porch, it was
Speaker 1: it was not that long ago. I think it was
Speaker 1: just it was like a week ago or something. I
Speaker 1: just I've never really felt so peaceful at any point
Speaker 1: in my life of just laying down and kind of
Speaker 1: just being in nature. And no, no, no, like offense
Speaker 1: to you, mom, none taken my darning. Do you do
Speaker 1: you equate happiness with peace? So is that your your
Speaker 1: idea of what of what real of happiness is is
Speaker 1: feeling peaceful? I think that's one of the things that
Speaker 1: go into happiness. I think happiness is definitely at various
Speaker 1: from person to person. Like one person will think this
Speaker 1: is happiness. That's some other person will think this is happiness.
Speaker 1: And I think it's just where you feel like yourself
Speaker 1: the most is where you are happiest. Why do you
Speaker 1: feel like yourself the most? I like that dying. I
Speaker 1: gotta stop calling you downing because you're a guest and sorry, Henry, Yes,
Speaker 1: I think that that is actually the incredibly good advice
Speaker 1: to give yourself in your life, which is where you
Speaker 1: feel yourself the most, is where you will be the happiest.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this quite a lot, but looking for
Speaker 1: of anything all the time, it's probably folly. So thinking
Speaker 1: that you're going to be happy all the time, it's
Speaker 1: probably not going to work out. Yeah, it's not possible.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's always going to be those moments when
Speaker 1: you drop and you're going to be sad. But sadness
Speaker 1: has to balance out the happiness. So I think it
Speaker 1: all kind of just comes into a giant circle dying.
Speaker 1: I love you so much, we do what question, which
Speaker 1: you most like answered? Okay, So I mean where does
Speaker 1: everything go? What's the point of it all? Like, well,
Speaker 1: what happens? We're we're all just sort of living, right,
Speaker 1: We're all just sort of living on this earth. We're
Speaker 1: doing what we do. But why? And I just I
Speaker 1: want to know why because it doesn't really in the
Speaker 1: whole scheme of everything. What does us doing anything matter?
Speaker 1: That's my question. I know, it's it's weird. It's like,
Speaker 1: believe me, philosophers have been pontificating about this for time immemorial,
Speaker 1: What does it mean? And does they have to be meaning?
Speaker 1: I think we search for meaning, we want to attach
Speaker 1: meaning to it. But I think that's a very human trait. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely think that as well, because you wouldn't find
Speaker 1: a pig questioning its own mortality. I mean, no, a
Speaker 1: big is just a big. In fact, Stephen fo I
Speaker 1: talked about tree frogs. Tree frogs don't question how they
Speaker 1: tree frog. They just do it. They do it because
Speaker 1: it's instinct. But when you're able to like conceptualize it,
Speaker 1: it kind of gets messed up in your own head.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's because we think we're so much
Speaker 1: better than everything else human beings that they we we
Speaker 1: think there should be a meaning, like that, our lives
Speaker 1: are so important, there must be a meaning to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like over the thousands of years, humans have been sort
Speaker 1: of thinking there's always superior, and I think that definitely
Speaker 1: puts on a mindset of we're more important, We're the
Speaker 1: ones that should live forever and where we can do everything.
Speaker 1: But in actual fact, what what are you doing? I mean, well,
Speaker 1: what exactly what? How? So how can those two things
Speaker 1: be true? How can we think that we're so important?
Speaker 1: And yet be destroying the planet in such and and
Speaker 1: now conscious way, Like we know what's happening, and we're
Speaker 1: not we're not changing at a fast enough right, So
Speaker 1: why there's still people that don't believe it's true? Like
Speaker 1: how it's so obvious that we are messing the planet up,
Speaker 1: but in our heads we think it's gonna be fine,
Speaker 1: everything's gonna work out. We're human, Well, we know what
Speaker 1: to do, but in actual fact we don't. So do
Speaker 1: you think there's just a fundamental arrogance and us having
Speaker 1: been so if at the top of the food chain
Speaker 1: for so long and we've become complacent and just think
Speaker 1: we're owed answers and we can do whatever we want
Speaker 1: with this planet, Like do you think most of that's
Speaker 1: kind of what's happening? Yeah? I think if you get
Speaker 1: used to something for so long, you just sort of
Speaker 1: kind of you just put it at the back of
Speaker 1: your head. You don't really care about what's happening to it, right,
Speaker 1: But then as it gets worse and worse it has
Speaker 1: you have to kind of realize something that it's just
Speaker 1: kind of going wrong. What do you think is what
Speaker 1: do you think it is all for? The messy business
Speaker 1: of living us being terrible custodians of a planet? Like,
Speaker 1: what do you think do you think there is a
Speaker 1: meaning or do you think that there actually isn't. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a meaning to what we do. I
Speaker 1: think we live our lives and the people that do
Speaker 1: what they want are the people that live. And I
Speaker 1: think that's the meaning of why we live, to do
Speaker 1: what we want. But what about society owning and mortgages
Speaker 1: and constructs and all the stuff. That's what people have created.
Speaker 1: That's what people have created to make it so that
Speaker 1: you can live how you want in the confines of
Speaker 1: being like an okay, im moral person, right yeah, air
Speaker 1: quotes and I mean you have to live your life
Speaker 1: how you want it. Otherwise how how are you going
Speaker 1: to be happy? Ever? So, do you think what Grandpa
Speaker 1: said to me when I was a kid, which was
Speaker 1: find what you love to do and get someone to
Speaker 1: pay you to do it. I think that is a
Speaker 1: huge part of it. I want to be out in
Speaker 1: the world, right, that's me. Other people can do them.
Speaker 1: So would you rather not have very much money and
Speaker 1: sort of live out of a van and be doing
Speaker 1: what you want? Whatever? That? If that's how it goes,
Speaker 1: then yes, yeah, I would rather live out of a van.
Speaker 1: Wait if if what goes, how if that's how I
Speaker 1: want to live, then yeah, that's how it goes. See,
Speaker 1: you really are a libertarian. You just want to You
Speaker 1: just want to do what you want. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what that means. Well, there's two meanings to it.
Speaker 1: There's a political meaning to it, which is a particular
Speaker 1: way of thinking, which is literally sort of you get
Speaker 1: to do what you want. No government, no nothing, nobody
Speaker 1: tells you what to do. It's sort of like First
Speaker 1: Amendment on steroids. But a libertarian also, I mean they
Speaker 1: it means, you know, liberty. It's freedom, So the freedom
Speaker 1: to do what you want, be who you want. I'm
Speaker 1: interested to see what you want when you grow up,
Speaker 1: and like, what kinds of things do you think you're
Speaker 1: going to want? I honestly don't know really, but you
Speaker 1: kind of want to have the space to be able
Speaker 1: to figure that out. Yeah, I think that's that's how
Speaker 1: we live, right. Question three, what relationship, real or fictionalized
Speaker 1: defines love fear? Now this is the one that I
Speaker 1: thought about the most. Well, I'm a TV connoisseur, as
Speaker 1: some would say, so I I do like to watch TV.
Speaker 1: I'm an enthusiast. Some may say, so I have had
Speaker 1: my fair share of TV, and I'd like to take
Speaker 1: mine from a certain television show called Adventure Time. And
Speaker 1: it's between two people called Simon Petrokov and Betty, and
Speaker 1: I find that their relationship is it's it goes through
Speaker 1: thousands of years, right, and in the shortest explanation that
Speaker 1: I can make, is one of them, Simon Petrokov he
Speaker 1: can basically live forever, and his wife, who he wants
Speaker 1: to be his wife, Betty, cannot live forever, and her
Speaker 1: seeing that he can live forever, she runs away. She
Speaker 1: does not want to be with him anymore. But thousands
Speaker 1: and thousands of years into the future, he finds a
Speaker 1: way to get her to love him again and goes back,
Speaker 1: and she takes him back. And I find that love
Speaker 1: is just a place where you care about somebody so
Speaker 1: much that you would go through change, you'd go through
Speaker 1: everything just to find them again, even if you lost them.
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's just a connection that you
Speaker 1: cannot be broken if you actually truly love someone. I
Speaker 1: think that's very true, and I think that idea of forbearance,
Speaker 1: which is a really great word. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: do know what forbearance means. I mean, I can kind
Speaker 1: of guess, but not not exactly. It's like waiting something out,
Speaker 1: being strong through time, having the temerity to bear something
Speaker 1: and being strong, and I think that is a corner
Speaker 1: stone of loving for sure. Well, I know how much
Speaker 1: he loves adventure time. I love adventure time as well.
Speaker 1: You taught me everything I know about advantage time, and
Speaker 1: we both love it. I like that it taught you
Speaker 1: about love, just because I'm twelve and I literally have
Speaker 1: no idea about relationships. You know what, baby, You've got
Speaker 1: to start somewhere. Your first relationship and love is actually
Speaker 1: with yourself, which nobody really tells you, and the way
Speaker 1: that you treat yourself, on the way that you sort
Speaker 1: of barely up to your own life. You're in the
Speaker 1: right place. You're doing I think you're doing all the
Speaker 1: right stuff. And you know, one day you'll have a
Speaker 1: relationship with a person and you'll listen to this conversation
Speaker 1: and wonder why I didn't give you better advice. I
Speaker 1: think is pretty great. Mom. Thanks Darling. Henry Henry, Mr Driver,
Speaker 1: Mr Driver, Mr Driver so what quality do you like
Speaker 1: least about yourself? I think a quality that i'd like
Speaker 1: least about my self it would have to be the
Speaker 1: I'm not like a perfectionist or anything. Just to sort
Speaker 1: of back up this question, I just never think I
Speaker 1: get things perfectly correct. So I'll make something that I'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh, this is cool, and I'll be like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, that's that's not right. Let me let
Speaker 1: me read that, and I'll just keep on doing it
Speaker 1: until I just never finish it. So I feel like
Speaker 1: that's and I know it. I'm trying not to make
Speaker 1: it perfect, just acceptable, and I just can never reach that. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you can reach acceptability, So it's
Speaker 1: not perfectionism, it's acceptable, is m. Yeah, I guess that
Speaker 1: is the correct term for that. Yeah. Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: I always think there's a detail that's incorrect. It's interesting.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you get that from me. You're very
Speaker 1: hard on yourself, and yeah, your as well, I know,
Speaker 1: And I feel like, actually, it's funny hearing you say that.
Speaker 1: I kind of get a bit of a drop in
Speaker 1: my stomach because I recognize that of being really tough
Speaker 1: on yourself. But I see you give to really most
Speaker 1: of what you do and working very hard. And I
Speaker 1: also know I do that, but I don't think either
Speaker 1: of us give ourselves quite enough credit. Yeah, I definitely
Speaker 1: think that's true. Well, that's just taught me hearing you
Speaker 1: say that is great. I passed on the quality I
Speaker 1: like least about myself to my child. Good work. But
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like it's not the worst thing
Speaker 1: that could have come out of anybody. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: always like different things that could be so much worse.
Speaker 1: But I think that is just what I find to
Speaker 1: be the most disliked by me. M. It's also like
Speaker 1: having an awareness of it means you're infinitely more likely
Speaker 1: to change it, right if you wanted to, I'd say so.
Speaker 1: It's it's easier to like, it's easier to get rid
Speaker 1: of something if you can recognize it first. I think
Speaker 1: you have to recognize it first, don't you, Otherwise you
Speaker 1: might just be getting rid of bits of yourself. They
Speaker 1: are actually quite good. Yeah, I mean it's a metaphor
Speaker 1: for life. Yea, what in your life has grown out
Speaker 1: of a personal disaster, And you know, by a personal disaster,
Speaker 1: I mean something that at the time seemed very hard,
Speaker 1: or like it was something not working out. So I'm twelve,
Speaker 1: so I haven't had many personal disasters in my time.
Speaker 1: I think I don't want to go sat, don't sensor yourself,
Speaker 1: love and say whatever you feel. I think when really past,
Speaker 1: I realized that nothing is really permanent in a way
Speaker 1: like death will come, but just like you have to
Speaker 1: make the most of the time you have until the
Speaker 1: end point comes. I think that's just a thing that
Speaker 1: will happen at some point, but you always have to think,
Speaker 1: but what can we do now instead of what that
Speaker 1: does happen? And I think that's what definitely came out
Speaker 1: from Grannies passing. Did you really think that that after
Speaker 1: she died, it was like, Wow, we better live every
Speaker 1: moment because it really is, it's gone in an instant.
Speaker 1: It's temporary. Yeah, I think that was some big thing
Speaker 1: that came out of Grannies passing. Definitely. Do you think
Speaker 1: that's also where you really want to do what you do,
Speaker 1: what you want and not follow any kind of mainstream
Speaker 1: idea in your life. It's just like go live live
Speaker 1: it's your life. Yeah, baby, I want you to do
Speaker 1: that too. Liberal liberal libratarian liberty liberty, libertarian, same thing
Speaker 1: a libratarian. I wouldn't mind if you're a libratarian, because
Speaker 1: that means that it will probably be about free libraries.
Speaker 1: I mean I would run for that if I was
Speaker 1: a president, you'd run on a platform of free libraries. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm a libratarian. Libraries are free. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: you have to get a card. Maybe it'll be on
Speaker 1: a platform of like it was against the law to
Speaker 1: close libraries now, definitely free libraries. That's quite ast of
Speaker 1: Homer Simpson platform free libraries. They're already free. But I
Speaker 1: don't care. I mean, yeah, well, everyone gets a library,
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, you get a library. All right,
Speaker 1: my little libratarian, What person, place, or experience has most
Speaker 1: altered your life? I think it was definitely moving to
Speaker 1: England because that changed, That changed everything, and it kind
Speaker 1: of opened up my perspective to the world. I just
Speaker 1: my view completely widened. Everything just kind of it was
Speaker 1: just different and I liked it being in a different place.
Speaker 1: I thought it changed how I looked at the world
Speaker 1: a lot. Can you say some of the things that like,
Speaker 1: either you suddenly saw how you thought about them before
Speaker 1: and then how you thought about them differently once you
Speaker 1: were going to school in a different country. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought in l A, that's how I thought you were
Speaker 1: supposed to live by a certain routine and you were
Speaker 1: supposed to have this blank blank blank set out for you, right,
Speaker 1: But then when I moved to England, it's sort of
Speaker 1: it all changed. There was no there wasn't a routine.
Speaker 1: I would go to school and then I would maybe
Speaker 1: I'd walk over to my cousin's house, maybe I'd go
Speaker 1: to the park, maybe i'd walk somewhere, just anywhere to
Speaker 1: the train as well, by yourself with your cousin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would be completely different to just go to school,
Speaker 1: come back home, do homework, watch TV, dinner, go to sleep. Right,
Speaker 1: it just changed, which I just thought it was amazing
Speaker 1: living completely differently. Do you think that you You know,
Speaker 1: the other thing about me, your mother, is that I
Speaker 1: have such a difficult time with change, and I love
Speaker 1: things to stay the same and for a routine, And
Speaker 1: which is probably why why fourth that on you? Did
Speaker 1: you always know that you liked to change before or
Speaker 1: did going to England really show you that this was
Speaker 1: something that you could embrace and take on into the
Speaker 1: rest of your life. I definitely think it was going
Speaker 1: to England because before I just thought routine was how
Speaker 1: how it kind of went. I think that was my plan,
Speaker 1: but it changed definitely as I went to England. It's
Speaker 1: sort of my perspective expanded. As I say, you left
Speaker 1: behind an enormous amount, like you left behind your whole life,
Speaker 1: your friendships, your everything. I didn't leave them behind. I
Speaker 1: still have them as friends. You're completely correct, but you
Speaker 1: you stepped out of that. Did that feel exciting or
Speaker 1: scary to you both? Honestly? I mean there was certain
Speaker 1: aspects like I was horrified that I was going to
Speaker 1: lose my friends, but at the same time, I was
Speaker 1: excited that I was going to make new friends, and
Speaker 1: just everything was kind of different now and it was
Speaker 1: going to be cool. At least I hoped it was
Speaker 1: school it was, so do you appreciate that about yourself? Like,
Speaker 1: can you sometimes get the perspective go, wow, you know
Speaker 1: I did that. I actually did something that was really
Speaker 1: hard and overcame it, yeah, and moved, you know, opened
Speaker 1: up the aperture to experience something that was very different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely think that. I think opening up to new
Speaker 1: experiences is just it's how how it's how it goes.
Speaker 1: But do you process that yourself? So in terms of going,
Speaker 1: I'm a person who can accommodate change and flexibility, and like,
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure this is going into
Speaker 1: the basic architecture of who you are because it's Having
Speaker 1: watched you navigate all of this, it was pretty mind blenning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for me to kind of watch you because you just
Speaker 1: you asked if we could go. It wasn't This wasn't
Speaker 1: driven by me or my boyfriend Addison. This was this
Speaker 1: was you saying, can we do this as a family? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely think so, and I think I I sort
Speaker 1: of it was an independent is decision because there are
Speaker 1: still some things that I had to consult with you guys,
Speaker 1: but it was still relatively independent and that felt good.
Speaker 1: I liked it good. Remember that turning one very important lessons. Now,
Speaker 1: last question, Yes, okay, so what would be your last meal?
Speaker 1: So like within the government confines of like or what
Speaker 1: you're immediately putting yourself on death row? What's happening? Oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, darling, what did you do to get
Speaker 1: on to death rock? I don't know if you asked
Speaker 1: the question. It doesn't. It doesn't. Oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: so awful that that's where you think that that's where
Speaker 1: it would be. I mean, I suppose, I suppose last meal.
Speaker 1: That's what the last meal means. Is there really only
Speaker 1: a certain amount of money abortion for for prisoners on
Speaker 1: death you can only get certain things and it has
Speaker 1: to be within a certain amount of money, and it
Speaker 1: can't be like it can't be. It's like you can't
Speaker 1: get more than a certain amount of items. I think
Speaker 1: it's a whole thing, good gracious, all right, Well, you
Speaker 1: know you can frame this within a prison because it's
Speaker 1: your choice, but it really could be your last meal
Speaker 1: like a hospital. I guess. I actually think it's very
Speaker 1: interesting that you're making this location specific. Let's say it
Speaker 1: was like you knew you were gonna you knew you
Speaker 1: were going to die. Yeah, but you had enough time
Speaker 1: that you could have whatever you want to eat, cooked
Speaker 1: by whomever from wherever before you went. Mm hmm. But
Speaker 1: I sort of want to hear the penitentiary version as well.
Speaker 1: But like, tell me the dream version first. Okay, dream
Speaker 1: version is I would have like a Thanksgiving feast like
Speaker 1: we do on Sundays in England with the whole family
Speaker 1: and didn't have the whole family there because I think
Speaker 1: that's that's like the best. Sometimes the turkeys dry, but
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's still tastes too lazy. What yeah, well,
Speaker 1: just there's the base the turkey a tanney a bit more.
Speaker 1: Next time turkey is notoriously dry. It's a notoriously difficult meat.
Speaker 1: We try to inject it with the juices. You've seen
Speaker 1: me with the syringe. It's a nightmare. I wouldn't cook
Speaker 1: it if it wasn't Thanksgiving. Yeah, still pointers, mom, and
Speaker 1: you should be writing us down. I love Okay, so Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: So Thanksgiving feast all like what we have on a Sunday,
Speaker 1: which is usually roast chicken. Yeah, so like turkey, roast potatoes.
Speaker 1: Auntie kids once they're amazing. I know yours aren't bad.
Speaker 1: Anti kids are the best. Yes, she does make the
Speaker 1: best one green means sweet potato, marshmallow mash pie. It's
Speaker 1: all delicious. That's just that would be my last meal.
Speaker 1: But what about pudding. Granny is apple crumble? Oh god,
Speaker 1: she did make the best apple crumbell that is chef's kiss.
Speaker 1: You know she used to when we were kids, Henry.
Speaker 1: We'd be driving along and she's suddenly like screeched the
Speaker 1: car over to the side of the road, and she'd
Speaker 1: be like, those apples are just going to fall on
Speaker 1: the ground and as somebody eat them, and we'd be like,
Speaker 1: but are they and somebody else's garden. Yes, yes, but
Speaker 1: they're going to waste and waste not want not. And
Speaker 1: so the next thing we knew, we'd literally she'd be
Speaker 1: hiking me and Kate over somebody's fence into their garden
Speaker 1: where surely they did have thousands of apples that were
Speaker 1: you know, but nonetheless we were scrumping, which is also
Speaker 1: a polite way of saying stealing. And so she'd get
Speaker 1: us to stuff these apples up our jumpers so in
Speaker 1: case anybody came. And I always used to go, if
Speaker 1: somebody comes, they'll know we've got apples stuffed up our jumper.
Speaker 1: I have done that as well, just to say I've
Speaker 1: taken apples from somebody's true, and they tasted amazing, And
Speaker 1: I think I think we've all done that. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I know that it's it is stealing. However, the stolen
Speaker 1: apples that Mom would make apple crumble with always tasted
Speaker 1: the best. I I wish I could have tried them.
Speaker 1: I know, Darling, Well, well, I know I do know
Speaker 1: how to make the apple crumble, and I shall teach you,
Speaker 1: Yes you will, Yes, I will. I just want to
Speaker 1: circle back because I did say dream version of your
Speaker 1: last meal? But what would be your penitentiary mail? So
Speaker 1: you're so penitentiary being like actually sticking to what would
Speaker 1: really be able to happen if it was your last
Speaker 1: male and you were in prison. M hmm. Well, I
Speaker 1: I've heard of a few people that had some weird
Speaker 1: last meals, like a grain of rice and a birthday cake.
Speaker 1: But I'd go I'd go more subtle. I'd go more rustic,
Speaker 1: with a platter of rice and beans and a sand Pellegrino.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not expensive, and it's delicious, and maybe
Speaker 1: some hot sauce because hot sauce makes everything taste better.
Speaker 1: Some rice and beans and some hot sauce and a
Speaker 1: sam pellagreen. Now, but they're like the spiciest hot sauce
