If you could teleport, but only 10 times what do you think you’d use it for?
First, I’m going inside a vault. I’m pocketing a bunch of cash and then I’m going back home and split up all the money with my family. Then I’ll use my money to fund my life. That’s it. I only need 2 teleports. The last 8 I would save for emergencies or trips back to the vault if I’m feeling lucky. But I don't want to waste them because what if at some point in the future I really need them.
If you had a superpower, but every time you used it something bad had to happen, what would the superpower be and what would the negative effect be?
Dude I was thinking about this recently. I want to time travel so badly but so many things could go wrong. Like I could move a rock and then my parents wouldn’t be here. Maybe I’ll make up my own superpower, like robbing people by looking at them. No, I’m going with time travel. But like every time I time travel people start to forget me more and more. Which would be bad, but if you needed to start over you’d be able to.
If you could participate in any olympic sport what would you want to do?
What's that one where they launch up with the pole? Pole Vaulting? That one. That could be fun, really they should put skateboarding in the olympics.
I’m pretty sure skateboarding is in the Olympics this year.
Be so for real right now. Please tell me you’re serious. I’m going to the wikipedia page for it. Oh my god it’s real, wow. I’m switching my answer then. I’d probably do street skating since I don’t like bowl. Unless my skill automatically goes to olympic level because then I’d do park and just go crazy.
What would your plan be if you woke up and nobody was in your town?
I can really do whatever I want. First I’m going and robbing the game store down the street from me. I’m so serious. New Game Plus if you’re reading this I’m robbing you. I don’t mean that. I’m only robbing you in this scenario. I’m taking all their games, they have like whole Dance Dance Revolution machines, I’m taking it all. Then I’m stealing a car from the parking lot and bringing it all back to my house. Then after like a week or two I try to figure out where everyone is.
What's the weirdest thing to ever happen to you?
Dude one time I was with this friend of mine and all their friends on the day before my birthday. We were just chilling on our way home but then this car started following us. And we’re all confused, but earlier that day there was a huge fight between one of the people we were with and some girl or something. We’re all confused and a little scared but we go to drop off this girl and as we park to drop her off like 5 girls get out of the car following us. I think one dude too, but he was just punching the air I think. Then everyone started fighting, it was such a predicament. It was just out of nowhere, it was so random. Really I was just there though, like “So is anyone gonna wish me a happy birthday?” After it though I just went home and watched ‘Arrested Development.’ It was chilly.
What would you do if you could make a movie?
I could probably improv a movie on the spot. If I was talking to movie executives I’d just ask for a budget and fly all my friends out. Give us some good cameras. Give us a budget. Give us time. We got it. We’ll make the movie of the summer. Let me rent out an entire high school. Trust. I’m making Not Another Teen Movie 5. I’m making Dazed and Confused 2. I’m gonna make the teen movie of the year. I’m bringing the whole R rated teen movie gimmick back.
What would your 3 genie wishes be? No loopholes
First, blow me up. Get me a lot of traction, have everyone stream me everywhere. My second wish would be for good guitar playing skills. I wanna have the fingers of a midwest emo player. Third, give me infinite Amazon gift cards. Wait no, infinite Door Dash. Then I’m balling out for the rest of my life.
What would the zayok meal be?
Wings from this local place near me. The lemon pepper wings. Then a plain burger, maybe ketchup on it, but I usually eat my burgers plain. Chicken nuggets on the side. No sauce. If you get sauce then you’re a baby.
If you got to play hide and seek anywhere, where would you want to play?
The mall for sure, get like 20 people, maybe even freeze tag. That would be crazy. Also shoutout to whoever gifted me Hitman on steam today, that’s never happened before so thank you. But yeah the mall. This might be crazy but I’d hide in Spencers. You know like if I hide in the back nobody is gonna want to go back there because of all the freak stuff. Not me. I’m the master at it. All the normies are gonna go to Barnes & Noble, but not me, I know where you’re not gonna want to check.
What's your ideal playground?
Get me in a straight up blank room with a computer that has FL pulled up. That's my playground, and if you don’t like it get out.
What artists do you think people reading this should check out?
