 So we're going to start filming in 30 seconds, all right? So are you going to answer the questions? Summer. Maybe we should go like this. Should each person answer one question? Can we all answer every question? No, I think we should do two, two, one. I don't want to have people answer the questions. We have like an order. I think some questions we might have everybody answer some questions. Is that the way you see that? No. Just like go in a row when you ask the questions. Okay. Six, five, four, three, two, one. All right. Hello, hello welcome viewers. We're super excited to be here live streaming with you all from Longmont Public Media. We are Boulder Prep High School. We have some fine students today with us. My name is Lili Adele. I'm the headmaster at Boulder Prep High School. We are going to interview our students about what it's like to be a youth in 2024. It's an important pressing question. First, I'll just have each of you introduce yourself. And then we'll dive into some of our questions. So right here we have our fabulous Marissa. My name is Steph. And Nadia. And Milo. All right. So to start us off, a very serious question here. Would you consider a hot dog a sandwich? Why or why not? I think a hot dog is a hot dog. Yeah, I think I agree with that. You know, I'd say a sandwich. You know, the bun and the meat and the meat on it. That's a sandwich. And I eat it sideways. So I'd say it's a sandwich. I don't know. Because it's connected at the bottom. You know, like with a sandwich you have like two pieces. And you have everything in it. And like, would you say a talk of the sandwich? Because that's also like a hot dog. I think it's really not a sandwich. There's a game of food here. If you had to eat one thing every day, at least for one meal for the rest of your life, choose carefully what would it be? A sandwich. I basically do that with off-brand Cheerios anyway. They're called Toast to Dose. They're Kroger brand and they're free. I would talk about England and Pakistan and Red Dot. And they've got it there. I'm getting into the middle ages and the radio and some of the new songs we all listen to. Having a hard time resonating with my oldies back when I was your age. So when you're my age, maybe 20 or 30 years from now, what do you think you're going to be playing on the oldies station? Maybe some like Katy Perry. I feel like that's already kind of a little bit old, but it's not a little bit old. I mean, I still listen to her. I like her. But she's old. Alright. So 30 years from now, they're going to be on the oldies. I don't know if they'll be on the oldies. I mean, everything will probably be digital by then. Yeah. No more radio. Sound Street. Live through your Google Google. Alright, so a little bit more serious. No, what do you think is one of the most pressing issues for young people today? Like the abortion rights, the money. It should be legal. And I don't think a man, I don't know why men and men are saying that this is such a nice thing. So that's the most pressing issue on your mind right now. And then if I look, the amount of states you can state you're living is like, I don't think it's really a thing. Yeah. Especially like trans people. How about you, that's the issue. I don't know, I guess both those issues I feel like are important. I mean, there's just so many incredibly polarizing things. I can't choose one. I guess I agree with the fact that a lot of states are becoming unsafe for people. I guess I'd be looking at people in power who are very old and maybe that's a problem. Yeah, I think if they were, they should not be seen at all. Yeah. I'm not always like, I don't know, I think it's good to have old people, but then also like young old people. Because that's like the people that live in the world, I guess. I mean, there could be anything. Are we talking about America or everywhere? What do you feel like is the most pressing issue on you? More is the worst. Yeah. And it's still happening. And people are just like, oh, people don't even know. People don't even know. But it's true. That's what's important. There are some active conflicts happening right now. And so as an up-and-coming generation and me hearing that you would appreciate maybe some younger representation in government. Women representatives. Women female representatives. Queer representatives in government. So how do you feel like your generation can get involved as leaders in making the changes for the things that we don't like? What can you do? I don't know. I think we've been doing a lot of stuff somewhat. But when I was younger, my mom used to work with the action program. And so I used to do a lot of protesting for women's rights and equal pay. So I think protesting is a huge thing that peaceful protesting actually works. My generation isn't really old enough to do this yet, but I think that something that's really good to do if you're passionate is to run for local government. And vote. I don't know. I don't know. People can do a lot of things. There's lots of ways you can make a difference. I don't know. What do you think? I think just stop buying from companies that support and are paying for it. I'm curious how you all now are in your mid-lateens. What would be some advice that you would give to our next gen or gen alphas that are in elementary school now? A lot of any advice. Good luck. Sucks. Love sucks. That's good. You have to figure it out on your own. Okay. Don't spend all your time in most in technology. That's such a huge thing now. I don't spend so much time because I am on technology a lot. But I think there are so many things that you can do outside in the world that you should experience as a child. I can't speak for everyone but I think that if you're younger you're probably going to look back and feel embarrassed about who you were. And I think that's normal and that doesn't mean that who you are is bad sort of thing. I don't know. What's that? I think it's better to regret stuff that you've done than stuff that you haven't done. And I don't think that you should care too much about what people think because they're going to forget things and you shouldn't be a follower you shouldn't do what you want to do with your life because it's a power that you have in your own life without my advice. I appreciate that. On a lighter note if you were going to add a word to the dictionary or create your own sound effect what would it be? Sound effector? Give us your best sound effect. I like the fry. I use a word like you know anything first. I'm trying to think of words like I don't know what to say. I'm trying to think of words that I say but yeah, I say real words. Yeah. What do you think is a new word that's a slang word that's come from your cap generation? Cap not one. For a viewer to maybe don't know what cap means. It means BS. I hate, use it in a sentence please. That's no cap. It means that that's a lie. What happened? Yeah. Cap. There you go. I don't like that. This is so blood clot. Period? Period. Period. I don't think that's necessarily related to that. Period. End of the conversation. Have a blessing. I've been hearing about like it's so good. Bussin. Bussin. If you're reading something and it's so good you could be like that. Bussin. Someone says something you like and agree with. Period. On job. Me. I hear a lot of... I'm not God. Everyone's God. Alright, we're about to wrap up so I'm going to just have one final question. What's your hope for the future? That I have just a successful life and I'm comfortable and just being me and I'm one of my kids so hopefully I'll have a nice little family. I don't know. Just live my life in peace and be successful and have money. So, okay. Yeah, I'm trying to be swag and rich. I don't need to be rich. I don't need to be rich but I do need to be rich in like life. You know what I mean? Not money. Yeah. Yes. Um, I really want to live in nature and so I hope there'll be nature left to live in. Yeah. That's your hope for humanity. It's that we still have a planet. Let's plant a million trees. If there's like barely any nature left I'm going to go hide there and the rest of you are not invited. I'm going to come. But no one else can. Only if you've watched this you're allowed. You're invited. But there's always your final hope for the future. I don't know. I want to make a name for myself and I always want to do that by like literature but I also really, really want to take care of animals and like zoo animals or even just house animals and be a vet. Awesome. All right. Well, thank you all. We're super grateful for having you and thank you to our viewers for tuning in. Appreciate it. That's a wrap. That's a wrap.
