I would like to apologize to this guest if he is in fact a duck not a goose. I was told prior to the interview that he was a goose. This error on my part may explain why Mr Goose/Duck pooped in the first few seconds of the interview. I'm sorry for any disrespect I may've shown towards you. I hope you will consider coming back on the podcast for Round 2. Thank you.

The following is my conversation with my new friend, Mr.

He's quite shy, quite distant, but underneath there is a depth that I would love to explore just I was wondering if you can tell me about art what What do you think is beautiful in this world?

And everything you've seen on these trails?

What do you think of Bukowski, he said, to do a dangerous thing with style.

The way you're distant makes me long for your attention.

I feel like that's a precondition for being a great artist.

I'm sorry I didn't prepare for this conversation as much as I could have.

I hope you find what you're looking for Mr.

I hope you find it in those green bushes.

Your heart pushes you toward or out there in the sea.

Thank you for at least giving me a chance.


Speaker 0: The following is my conversation with my new friend, Mr. Goose. He's quite shy, quite distant, but underneath there is a depth that I would love to explore just I was wondering if you can tell me about art what What do you think is beautiful in this world? How do you think of beauty? And everything you've seen on these trails?

And everything you've eaten? What do you find beautiful? What do you think of Bukowski, he said, to do a dangerous thing with style. That's what I call art. You clearly have style.

The way you're distant makes me long for your attention. I feel like that's a precondition for being a great artist. Where are you going? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't prepare for this conversation as much as I could have.

You can't always run away from yourself. I hope you find what you're looking for Mr. Goose. I hope you find it in those green bushes. Your heart pushes you toward or out there in the sea.

Take care of yourself Mr. Goose. Thank you. Thank you for at least giving me a chance.
