  • I don't like when people do that to other people.

  • But I will say that waiting for something big to happen is really fun.

  • That's nice.

  • Do you feel like these questions revealed something about your true nature?

  • Yeah.

  • I mean, not stuff that it's around from surprised by.

  • I mean, I think, I think.

  • But it's weird because it's like what you do, voice them out loud.

  • They attain their own sense of reality that is jarring but enlightening.

  • You know, whenever you look at yourself in any kind of introspective way or do you go on those journeys?

  • It's never like that was tight.

  • You know what I mean?

  • Like you never like.
