What Matters
"I think more people should do debate. More people should know about it. And it's just all around fantastic."
"Rhetoric is one of the most important parts of not just speech and debate, but day-to-day life. And if more people could implement it on a higher scale, I think that our world, our country, our globe, would be a lot better."
"More people need to be ready to speak in front of an audience, and sometimes you lose. Sometimes you'll look bad, but the third or fourth time you'll look great."
"More individuals need to be more aware of what's going on civically within their government. ... If more people learn about what's going on, they're going to be more inclined to understand and involve themselves with that civic engagement."
"I really love lacrosse. I'm a right defenseman. ... It's football, but you have to be a little bit more athletic to know where the ball is and where your stick is. And I wish more people played it. It's really fun."
"Marx would be really disappointed in all of the Labubu dolls that in a year's time I think are gonna be under a landfill. So no, doesn't matter. And you're gonna get scammed if you buy them."
"In practicality, no, doesn't really matter. I think more people should know how to drive. I wish more people knew how to drive a stick. That'd be pretty awesome. So I just kind of wanna go back, to the roots a little bit. Learn to drive, know where you're going, and know what the steering wheel does."
"I really like spicy food and I really like honey. And I do not think that those two things should mix, especially when it's late at night and you're trying to put it on toast and you grab spicy honey instead of normal honey."
"The American society is a melting pot, which I think means that there's not one specific dream that we should all follow. So the American Dream, no, not really. I don't think that matters, but I think Americans and their dreams definitely do."
