Hello and welcome to Let's chat rebels the podcast. Mates get to know your fellow students and faculty through fun and intriguing conversation. My name is Starr, your host of this podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in, and I hope you all are ready to hear from one of the amazing guests that I have for you this week. The guest I have this week is a new friend of mine. Like most of the people I've had on this podcast, they are on their path to be a law student, and on the path of trying to get me to become a law student, which we shall see about. I'm gonna let them introduce themselves. So guess whenever you're ready, say hi, state your name, age and major, please.
Unknown Speaker 0:48
Okay. My name is Makai Zuniga. I'm 25 and I'm a third year law student at UNLV. Very
Unknown Speaker 0:55
good again. It's all good. This is just supposed to be a fun little podcast where we're having just a conversation about, honestly, anything, but we really just want to get to know you. So I want to start off. I kind of want to change up a little bit. I want to start off with, like, a little light hearted question, what is your song that's on repeat right now?
Unknown Speaker 1:16
Let me. Let me open my Spotify real quick. Actually, tell you right now, yeah, okay, I have been listening to, oh, is this toxic? I probably shouldn't say that. I've been listening to no one knows by Brent faiz on a loop for no one knows. Okay, that one and then nobody's soldier by Hozier. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 1:36
okay, interesting. I can't even judge because the song that's on repeat right now, for me, is all that matters by Justin Bieber,
Unknown Speaker 1:45
well, I can't even judge you, because I don't even know that
Unknown Speaker 1:49
song to me. Yeah, yeah. My
Unknown Speaker 1:52
Spotify rap last year, my number one song was a hey, sexy lady by Shaggy and it was really embarrassing, because I
Unknown Speaker 2:01
was on your Spotify rap. So
Unknown Speaker 2:02
that went for the whole year. It was the most listening song for me last year. But I don't know how it happened at one Tiktok. I think it just got stuck in my head, and I just kept listening to the song that's
Unknown Speaker 2:11
very interesting. Okay, I don't even know it was on my Spotify wrapped. I think Paramore was up there in like, LMA or something like that, I don't know, but yeah, that's an interesting choice to be listening on repeat for a whole year straight. It
Unknown Speaker 2:27
wasn't a whole year, it was only like two weeks. Honestly, that's why it's so crazy. It's like, I didn't realize how much I hyper fixated on the song.
Unknown Speaker 2:34
I mean, I guess because like that is just like, gonna like what it just shows like, what song you have listened to on repeat the most out of all of your songs. That's what it is.
Unknown Speaker 2:41
I think it's the songs that you've played the most. Like, what? Yeah, it'll be like the number one song of the year. That's the one you've listened to the most. Okay, so
Unknown Speaker 2:48
it doesn't necessarily mean you listen to,
Unknown Speaker 2:52
no. It was like a couple weeks early spring, and I totally forgot about I stopped listening to it quickly. Okay? It it was really embarrassing.
Unknown Speaker 3:03
Okay, you know it is what it is. Okay, moving on. We're gonna start circling back to more school related things. So are you from Vegas?
Unknown Speaker 3:14
No, I'm, uh, I'm born and raised from Reno, Nevada. Ooh.
Unknown Speaker 3:17
Okay, so what brought you out here for school. Yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 3:21
came down here for school before I came here. So I did undergrad at UNR up north in Reno. I graduated in 2021 with my bachelor's in political science. And then I moved to DC, and I took a gap year. So I worked out there for a little bit, and then I moved from DC to Las Vegas for law school.
Unknown Speaker 3:42
Oh, wow. Okay, wow. Out of all the schools, why'd you choose UNLV?
Unknown Speaker 3:49
Well, you know, okay, so when you're applying to law schools, it's super expensive, it's stupid expensive, and it's just not very accessible. So yeah, but I also knew I didn't have very good grades or good LSAT, so I was like, whatever. I'm just gonna dump as much money into as many schools, like applications, just to make sure that I can get into one. But I I always wanted to come to Las Vegas, because I hate the East Coast. Sorry, shout out, but I hated, I should say I hate Washington, DC, the environment. There was just like, not what I'm comfortable with. And I missed the West Coast, and missed being really close to my family. So UNLV has the only law school in Nevada, and this is as close as I could get to home and still practice law. Okay,
Unknown Speaker 4:34
that's fair. That's fair. Yeah, one of the reasons why I chose UNLV because it's still kind of close to home because I'm from LA, but still like enough distance from them as well. I love them, but I just needed a little distance. What do you plan to do with your major?
Unknown Speaker 4:57
I think in the long term, actually, let me start with the. Short term. In the short term, I want to graduate in May, right? That's goal number one. Yes, I want to pass the bar in next July, and then I want to start practicing federal Indian law in Nevada. In the long run, I want to be a house husband with that's my end game. That's your
Unknown Speaker 5:18
end game. Yeah, a house husband. So you're going to law school to be a house husband,
Unknown Speaker 5:25
correct? That's interesting, not really. That's not my that's my actual long term goal. I hate working. You see the
Unknown Speaker 5:32
transition, you're just like, Yeah, I'm gonna take the bar, go to law school and then, but I actually just want to be a house husband. Well, I
Unknown Speaker 5:39
really don't dream of labor, but my duty to community is too strong, I guess. Okay, okay,
Unknown Speaker 5:47
I I'm not judging. I'm just, I feel like that's a very interesting path. You never hear that. No,
Unknown Speaker 5:52
I feel like, you know, I feel like more fellows got to step up and be comfortable with being a house husband. It's
Unknown Speaker 5:57
just, it's not even that. Like, I think that's awesome. I feel like you can do that now. Like, why are you going through law school, yeah, in order to get to being a house husband, right?
Unknown Speaker 6:05
Yeah, I guess I hear what you're saying. It sounds like I'm putting a lot of extra work, yeah, into what my end game, actually. But the problem is, is that there's no attorneys up north in Northern Nevada. Okay, so I have to do it.
Unknown Speaker 6:22
So you want to be a house husband slash attorney?
Unknown Speaker 6:25
Yeah, I want to be a house husband, and I'm forced to be an attorney.
Unknown Speaker 6:32
Okay, so in the meantime, you want to be an attorney, but eventually, like when you get the opportunity to be a house husband, you'll be like, Okay, that's it. When I done fully
Unknown Speaker 6:41
restored my community, I will
Unknown Speaker 6:45
being a house husband. Okay, I love that. I love that. Okay, so after you're done with a long day of school, because I'm sure law school has a lot of a lot of schoolwork, what do you do in your free time, if you even have any free time?
Unknown Speaker 7:00
Man, so I guess, hmm, I have to be careful, because my it's gonna sound so wack, but I play a lot of video games. So okay, why is that? Well, cuz I was playing actually last night with my friends, right? So at the end of each week, because I don't have class on Fridays, right? Yeah, so my buddies and I will usually play on like Thursday night. But the games that we play at times, we just, we got to grow up at some point, you know. But what are the games you play? I
Unknown Speaker 7:29
play video games, yeah. But we've been
Unknown Speaker 7:30
playing a lot of Fortnite recently. Okay, we're getting Can I swear No,
Unknown Speaker 7:37
oh yeah.
Unknown Speaker 7:39
We're getting worked by these little like, kids, these, like, 10 and 12 year olds are just demolishing these. Like, I'm a grown up, yeah, an adult, and I'm getting whooped in Fortnite, yeah, and I'm playing Fortnite, you know what I mean? So it's kind of like, I gotta grow up. I read some books or something. Read some books. I do way too much of that, but so i Okay, so
Unknown Speaker 8:05
Fortnite, well, that's not He's an avid Fortnite player. Y'all
Unknown Speaker 8:10
also play some Dead by Daylight. Okay, I don't know what that is, escape. It's like a horror survival game,
Unknown Speaker 8:17
horror. Yeah, it's scary. Oh, okay.
Unknown Speaker 8:21
And then I play some magic the gathering also, what is that? It's, oh man, I really keep digging myself a hole here. Yeah, Magic, the Gathering is, I think it's the greatest game ever created. So, you know, Pokemon or Yu Gi, oh
Unknown Speaker 8:36
yeah,
Unknown Speaker 8:37
it's like that in the sense that it's a trading card game with like creatures. But this may sound really stupid, but the way Pokemon and Yu Gi, oh, that's for like kids, magic is for adults. You know, if you're grown up, you play Magic. Okay,
Unknown Speaker 8:54
you're grown up, you play Magic. There's
Unknown Speaker 8:56
just a higher reading comprehension that's required to play the game. So it's more complex, but that's why it's always a joke, because it's like, how can I say that I adults play Magic? So it just sounds crazy.
Unknown Speaker 9:09
It does sound very crazy, but yeah, I thought, I don't know. I don't even know. I don't
Unknown Speaker 9:16
even also do some damage control. I that's not all I do when it's my free time, I like hiking. I like going to the gym. I just started climbing. Yeah, what else? I like traveling, but, yeah, as of late, not too much free time. I hope that that's just because of law school, but speaking to attorneys that I know right now, I think that that's just probably gonna be in, yeah, perpetual, I
Unknown Speaker 9:43
would assume there's a lot of work that goes into being becoming an attorney, yeah, yeah, I don't know. And you're trying to convince me to do it, I'm like, as if it's like, Legally Blonde, I'd consider it. Have you seen that movie? I've
Unknown Speaker 9:59
seen. Are they three of them?
Unknown Speaker 10:01
I think so, yeah, yeah. There's one with the what's her name, Reese Witherspoon, yes, the main Yeah. There's one with her. Two of them, Legally Blonde. One, legal blonde two. And then there's the ones that has the twins, the legally blondes. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 10:17
yeah, that one's checked out.
Unknown Speaker 10:21
I've watched all of them, but my favorite is the first one. The second one isn't the same, I feel like, but the first one is iconic. Every time I watch that, I'm like, maybe I will become a lawyer.
Unknown Speaker 10:31
I feel like it's actually pretty accurate to like the law school experience Loki, is it? Yeah, I think I know people say that pretty consistently. They're like in law school, but there's definitely, I think it does a good job of showing, like, the the vibes, the vibes of law school, like, really that, the way they cold call, that's basically, that's real, like that, oh, sometimes, if your professor sucks,
Unknown Speaker 10:54
okay, I don't know that also seems intense, but I don't know the way she's just like, yeah, like working out and like reading her law books and stuff like that, and then she was able to pass, like, the LSATs and stuff. I'm like, No, I can do it. I probably could do
Unknown Speaker 11:07
it, man, I'm telling you, definitely do it, because somehow I'm doing it. I should not have even been sitting here. There's no way. But no, I think it's more accessible, not accessible. It's not accessible. It's more attainable than people realize, realize, yeah, but it definitely takes a lot of support. You have to have access to money. It's like a whole Yeah, yeah, money,
Unknown Speaker 11:31
I bet, is probably a big part of it. Yeah?
Unknown Speaker 11:37
Bae, you got to do it.
Unknown Speaker 11:38
We shall see. Are we did you want to be a judge? Is that just something we were joking about, or is that one of your goals? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 11:45
I absolutely do not want to. You don't want to be a judge if I want to step in a courtroom, yeah, I feel like I probably will at some point, especially in Nevada, because there's not that many tribal attorneys, and there's gonna be a lot of cases in tribal court. Yeah, so, but I just don't, like,
Unknown Speaker 12:05
oh, wait, yeah, maybe we should go back to that. I don't know if you stated though you're Native. I don't think I do. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 12:12
sorry. So I'm, like, from Reno, so Northern Paiute, which is numu, and I'm Southern Paiute descendant as well, but I'm a citizen of the Reno Sparks Indian colony, and that's, I guess, when we were talking earlier about, like, duty to community or restoring it. That's kind of where I'm coming from. So yeah, that
Unknown Speaker 12:34
you talk about that a lot. When I talk to you, that's like, that's like,
Unknown Speaker 12:38
kind of my thing. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 12:39
you're just like, I'm just gonna restore my community.
Unknown Speaker 12:42
It's just my favorite Barty is with people, because I feel like, when you're in law school too, and people ask you, like, what do you want to do? And someone will be like, I want to go do personal injury, and I want to do, you know, secure transactions. And it's like, I'm just here to restore my community.
Unknown Speaker 12:56
So it's a real like, conversation stopper, like, what else do you uncomfortable
Unknown Speaker 13:00
it makes people. I'm being ironic, but also,
Unknown Speaker 13:04
but also true. Like, that's why you're just like, Well, how do I even respond to that?
Unknown Speaker 13:09
Because when people ask me, like, when you study in law, or like, what do you want to do? I'll just tell them, I don't know, because it's easier than being like, I want to practice federal Indian law. And they're like, Well, why? Here we go. Gotta restore, restore my community.
Unknown Speaker 13:26
Like, okay, just, you know, low key, low key, okay. Do you live near campus? Well, I'm assuming not, since you drove here. I
Unknown Speaker 13:38
do not live near campus. I'm, if you, if you are on campus, yeah, I am the last stop heading towards La. So if you're on the freeway, I'm the last stop. So I'm, but it's actually pretty quick to drive here, because it's like, right off the freeway. So it's only, like a 20 minute drive, but I, I am far.
Unknown Speaker 14:00
Wow. 20 minutes, yeah, wow. I'm just like, right across the street. Yeah, that's nice. It is pretty nice. Um, I do like it. It has some challenges. It's, it's an interesting area, but,
Unknown Speaker 14:13
no doubt, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 14:14
it's definitely an interesting area. But I do, I do love my apartment. Um, do you like to cook?
Unknown Speaker 14:19
Oh, man, I do not like to cook. Actually makes me angry. Really want to like it like I want to enjoy it, yeah, but the realities of my schedule and life just always make it like a chore rather than something I want to
Unknown Speaker 14:38
enjoy, yeah? Like I'm on the same boat. Okay, good. Because I feel like whenever
Unknown Speaker 14:42
people like, I like to cook or bake, to decompress. Well,
Unknown Speaker 14:46
I like to speak. I like to bake once in a while, like I have to be in the mood for it. And when I do bake, I feel like I bake, good. But that's the only thing that I like. Enjoy doing, cooking I don't like, yeah, cleaning up, doing the dishes, you i. Orton, you'll be hungry and cooking. Oh, man,
Unknown Speaker 15:02
let's go to the store. Go buy something. I can't do it. You seen the bear? I've
Unknown Speaker 15:07
seen. I've seen clips of it. I haven't watched it, like, fully, like a full episode. Now, there's
Unknown Speaker 15:12
like, a psychotic intensity that they have, like the chefs, yeah, and that's how I feel every time I cook. But I have no skill. I'm like, making white rice and chicken breasts. I'm just irritated that I have to do the
Unknown Speaker 15:25
dishes. No, pissed The dishes are honestly the worst part. And I refuse to wear like, gloves, so like, my hands get all like, dry and crusty. And I'm like, I
Unknown Speaker 15:35
do the same thing, but after every time, I will wash my hands like 40 times while I'm making dinner, because, especially chicken, specifically, you touch the chicken at the you know, yeah, put spices, get some deliciousness on there. And you gotta wash it off your hands. Yeah, you gotta pick it back up and
Unknown Speaker 15:52
put it I know, we guys awful. I don't I like to think I'm a sometimes Italian, sometimes itarians. So sometimes I'm vegetarian, sometimes I'm not. So I still eat meat on occasion, but I hate cooking meat. So usually, when I cook for myself, I don't cook a lot of stuff with meat, because most of the time I'll undercook it, or I'll overcook it, and it's not good. So yeah, I try to stay away from it. But every time I've tried cooking with chicken. I hate, like, I feel so gross, like touching it and things that is, that
Unknown Speaker 16:26
is, chicken is delicious once it's cooked, when it's yeah,
Unknown Speaker 16:30
when it's done, right, I can never figure out how to cook chicken right. I've tried multiple times I
Unknown Speaker 16:37
was raised vegetarian, so I also can commiserate that I don't know how to cook immediately, barely, I'm still learning.
Unknown Speaker 16:46
Yeah, yeah. It's funny because I'm like, trying to, I'm actually on a challenge right now. Have you heard of the 75 hard Yes, I have someone trying to. I'm on day four. Oh, nice. Yeah, day four, I think, yes, but I'm doing a variation of it. I am doing a 30 day hard challenge instead of a 75 hard challenge. Or you can call it a 30 day difficult challenge, I guess, since
Unknown Speaker 17:11
it's like 30 day like moderate, yeah, I'm still
Unknown Speaker 17:15
doing everything, like the two workouts a day, 245 minute workouts a day. It's two a days. Every day you're supposed to, technically do one indoor and outdoor, which I've kind of been doing. It's been nice since I literally walk everywhere on campus like that. Will hit my 45 minute goal every day. So I do that, and then plus, I go to the gym for 45 minutes doing whatever I decide to do that day. But yeah, so the two workouts Plus, I'm okay. So this is the hard part. Is eating. I was planning to eat at home for all the 30 days, but that's not gonna be possible this weekend, because I'm going back to visit my family in LA and then also, yeah, I just I ate out last night too, because my grandma was visiting. So, but I still ate healthy. I chose the healthier option. I got a soup and salad from where from Have you heard of the pepper mill?
Unknown Speaker 18:08
Dude, there's a pepper mill down here. Yeah, oh, there's a pepper mill. It's like a big casino up in Reno. They can't be the same thing. No,
Unknown Speaker 18:15
it's a restaurant. It's not like a casino out here. Okay, yeah, it's a cute little restaurant. There's actually a long way, I think it's like a one of, like, the well known restaurants out here. I think it is very like a tourist trap place. But I was trying to think of a place
Unknown Speaker 18:29
that my grandma, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, it's
Unknown Speaker 18:32
cool. I mean, the food wasn't bad, but I just got a soup and salad. That's
Unknown Speaker 18:37
really, I'm gonna say it, that's sad, just because, why? If there's a long wait, it's like, you kind of gotta get the whole, like, smorgasbord. I mean, like, you gotta get it all in, but good for you.
Unknown Speaker 18:48
No, I still get to my diet. Kind of, I was supposed to eat at home, but I ate out, but I I'm still considering it part of the challenge, because I'm still doing, I feel like the main point of doing this was just to get myself motivated to work out, because I'm trying to be in the best shape of my life by November 10. November 10. November 10. What's that day? That day, I actually joined a pageant. Cool. I joined a pageant, the Miss Silver State pageant. And I didn't mean to talk about myself so much in this podcast, but yeah, I joined the missile. This is how I designed it. Yeah. And doing a pageant, I guess I'm finally announcing it now, but the Miss Silver State pageant, I'm Miss Clark County. And, yeah, that's what's happening on November 10.
Unknown Speaker 19:32
You are Miss Clark County. Oh, so that's
Unknown Speaker 19:34
like my title? No, no, that's like my title, like going into it, but like, the main title that you want to get is like Miss Las Vegas or miss Silver State. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 19:44
so is it like one of the fitness competitions? It's not a fitness competition.
Unknown Speaker 19:48
It's like a beauty pageant, okay, essentially. So I have to, like, wear, I have to do an interview portion. I have to wear two different, like, evening gowns. I got one of them already. I'm very excited to wear it. Yeah, but it fits me perfectly now. So I have to, like, essentially, maintain my figure. So like, I want to be in the best shape of my life, but I also have to, like, make sure I don't get I can still fit into the dress, essentially. So yeah, lot of cardio is what I'm planning
Unknown Speaker 20:15
to do. That's like a month out
Unknown Speaker 20:18
that's soon. Yeah, see, that's why it's a 30 day challenge. Yeah, but yeah, eating at home was part of the challenge. Oh, reading 10 pages of a non fiction book, which I've been doing pretty consistently, or just, like, pages, 10 pages of an on, yeah, a day, yeah. To me, that's like, a big thing, yeah, and you're supposed to, like, drink a gallon water. I'm not doing that. I'm just drinking enough until I feel hydrated and that's it, because I already have to use the bathroom a lot, as it is, so a gallon of water.
Unknown Speaker 20:56
Okay, so for this last part of the interview, I like to do a game with my guests, and I was trying to think of what to do. I was trying to do something law related. I couldn't
Unknown Speaker 21:09
think of anything creative the law I don't need that, I know, but
Unknown Speaker 21:12
it was supposed to be like something fun that I could think of. I just I wasn't creative this week, so we're just doing Would You Rather? Okay, so I have a few would you rather questions and podcasts? Yeah. Okay, so I have a few questions. Are you ready? Would you rather be hot or cold?
Unknown Speaker 21:32
Hot, for sure, really, dude, the cold is awful. I
Unknown Speaker 21:36
love the cold.
Unknown Speaker 21:37
I've heard great arguments for the cold. I actually, most of the people I know are cold, like, preference, but, yeah, I hate. Like, being cold makes me angry. Being hot doesn't make me angry. No,
Unknown Speaker 21:49
being hot makes me angry. It makes me I get so, like, dehydrated and like, I literally will pass out if I like, Wow,
Unknown Speaker 21:56
no, see the cold, like, living up in Reno everywhere, like you have to scrape the frost off. I know everyone
Unknown Speaker 22:02
has that argument, but I've never grew up in an area where there was, like, actual snow. It sounds like magical to me, like an
Unknown Speaker 22:11
inconvenience, whatever. It's beautiful. Sure, I love it, but if you have to be awake at 830 in the morning to go to work, and then you have to scrape your car off. Yeah, that's
Unknown Speaker 22:23
the argument. My dad makes all this money. That's why I don't want
Unknown Speaker 22:26
him. Yeah, that's why I don't dream of labor. Awful. It's awful, yeah,
Unknown Speaker 22:30
because my family is from, like, Chicago, like the Midwest area, so the reason why they moved out of there was because, like, real cool, yeah, they're like, we're done with this snow. We want to go somewhere where it's, like, sunny all the time. So that's why they moved to LA nice, and that's how I grew up. So I'm like, to me not being around the snow, I'm like, Oh, the snow sounds so cool.
Unknown Speaker 22:47
No snow. Snow goes
Unknown Speaker 22:51
okay. I have another one. Would you rather have a we rewind button or a pause button on your life?
Unknown Speaker 23:01
Ooh, a rewind or a pause? Yeah, what's your answer?
Unknown Speaker 23:04
I would rather, okay, so I would rather a pause button. I don't want to go back in time, like, if, but I, what I want to know is, like, Would I pause myself in the process? Like, you know, would I pause like a click situation, I guess. So I hope it would be like a click situation, where I can control it, like, I'm still able to move around, but time has paused, and so then I'm able to, like, catch up on stuff that I need to catch up on, and then click play. That's what I'm thinking. But in this case scenario, because I found this online, if they meant, like, pause, like, and then I have to pause too, then I guess rewind, well,
Unknown Speaker 23:38
because how would the rewind work? Like, is it, do you get to change things? Are you just revisiting the pet like you see him saying, like, are
Unknown Speaker 23:46
you just going, I guess, yeah, I guess there's, I don't know. This
Unknown Speaker 23:50
is why you need to go to law school. Process was like, what are the rules?
Unknown Speaker 23:55
I don't know. But what sounds more enticing? Pause, probably. Yeah, right, yeah, yeah, take a break. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Would you rather always be running five minutes late or have to arrive 30 minutes early to everything?
Unknown Speaker 24:10
I gotta tell you, that's already my life. I'm already I'm more than five minutes late everywhere I go,
Unknown Speaker 24:15
Yeah, no, saying that's why I would choose five minutes late, because I'm already doing that on a regular basis. But also, I've gone like, 30 minutes early to places before, and I'm like, What am I doing? Like, I
Unknown Speaker 24:26
don't like being early. I
Unknown Speaker 24:27
think, I think it's also a necessary, like, for work. Like, why am I gonna be there 30 minutes earlier than I have to be work?
Unknown Speaker 24:33
Absolutely, your job early. That's time.
Unknown Speaker 24:36
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. So, yeah, I would be five minutes late. Okay, we'll do one more. Would you rather attend a party with all your friends or have a deep conversation with one of your biggest role models?
Unknown Speaker 24:50
Oh, dude, all my friends, I don't care about the Yeah, when people you never want to meet your heroes a like, yeah, oh my gosh, that's exactly what. Thinking, yeah, and why would I pass up a party with my homies? Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 25:05
that sounds more fun. I don't know. Yeah. I feel like, if I met my role model and it went bad, then that would just be a bad memory. I feel like, at least with my friends, if we had a party, I most likely is gonna be a fun memory that I can look back on.
Unknown Speaker 25:18
I just, I guess I always, I'm thinking about it too, in the context of, like, networking, yeah, like, you consistently get put, especially in like, law school, you're consistently put in circles where you have to talk to and, you know, I'm not, I'm not highly motivated by people's words that are, like, supposed to be mentors to what I mean or like, I think the idolization, I just don't really idolize like that I look up to work that people have done, but I'm not really a big like, I don't like idolizing people.
Unknown Speaker 25:50
You like idolizing? No, same. I don't really feel like I have any role models that I can think of off the top of my head. Yeah, that's like, like, that's a very big statement, yeah, but I anytime I would rather just spend with my friends,
Unknown Speaker 26:05
yeah. Also a role model, you know, like, I'm walking my own way. Oh, so
Unknown Speaker 26:09
you're your own role model. Okay, I don't
Unknown Speaker 26:15
know that feels weird to kind of, is this a hot take? I don't I think it's weird when you're kind of, yeah, that's my role model.
Unknown Speaker 26:21
Yeah. It's like, why? Okay, so for these last very few minutes, I want to give you a chance to shout out, like, whatever you want to shout out, like, if you're something's coming up, if you're a part of a club, whatever you want to do, if you want to shout out your Instagram, you

Unknown Speaker 27:09
I saw a really good I think I actually shared it to my story. It was that onion headline where it was like, indigenous people say that they don't need a special holiday. Just land back immediately. It's like, yeah, so we'll take, you know, a win is a win, I guess, yeah. And then there's a bunch of other events, but you can always go check out our Instagram, the UNLV NALSA.
