Hello, hello. Happy day nine.

SPEAKER_02 0:20

Happy day nine. It is that time. Noon o'clock.

SPEAKER_03 0:27

Would you consider yourself a playful person?

SPEAKER_02 0:34

I think so. I don't know. It's also like I'm mirroring a lot. And a lot of the time I'm mirroring kids. And that's a great way to learn how to be playful.

SPEAKER_03 0:47

How old are you, Tara?

SPEAKER_04 0:49

I'm five years old.

SPEAKER_03 0:52

Tara, what do you think about T?

SPEAKER_00 1:00

About four. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 1:04

What does it sound like? You wanna hear it?

SPEAKER_03 1:08

Okay, test, test, test. Why do you play?

SPEAKER_04 1:15

Um, what else am I gonna do? Not play?

SPEAKER_03 1:19

I don't even know when I could look.

SPEAKER_04 1:21

You can let it be. What? You tricked me!

SPEAKER_00 1:31

Play is like not knowing. Play is like I might fall out of this tree that I'm climbing up right now. Play is fear. It is you like you face fear in play.

SPEAKER_03 1:40

Tara, what the what's she doing up there?

SPEAKER_04 1:45

She is she swam through a branch.

SPEAKER_03 1:48

She went all the way up to the tree.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

I just I think about Tara and her need to play because she's very like, we can't cross the street unless the the the the white walk sign is there. But then she like blossoms when she plays. She's like so creative and like like let's make this, let's do this. And then she's just so in it, she's like, come on, sit with me, do this, dupa da da da, you know? And it's like, oh yeah, like you're having fun in the moment.

SPEAKER_03 2:17

Oh, I see the pigeons. Yeah. Yeah, should we go to the pigeons?

SPEAKER_00 2:23

Like it when an orca jumps out of the water. What for the first time? Where does it think it's gonna land? What does it think is gonna happen? And I think kids can play a lot because we don't have senses of fear. And it's fear that stops us. Like, I don't even know you.

unknown 2:40

I don't even know you like why did you have to say that?

SPEAKER_04 2:43

It's just it was like why you gotta say that much.

SPEAKER_01 2:45

That's what it's like to be a child, is like to learn and to be curious.

SPEAKER_06 2:51

Well you bring out the your childlike self, it brings out your your creativity.

SPEAKER_04 2:56

What if should we play? Hmm. A cardboard dice. We can play with it. Yeah, let's play.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

We should play to to get out, to get out of our head and create a new reality.

SPEAKER_04 3:14

So first you roll the dice, you go how many, and then the snake makes you down, the ladder gets you up. How many steps?

SPEAKER_00 3:24

The earth is something like deeply serious and earnest, and play is like something such a fun and exciting way to like access that seriousness and earnestness through like humor and imagination.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

Yeah, yeah, like taxes. But yet we have to play. We have to play soccer. We have to dance. And we have to play basketball to just like feel connection to our homies and and yeah, get really present. What else do you want to hear?

SPEAKER_04 4:03

I wanna hear a friend swinging. Swinging? What do you think? Good.

SPEAKER_03 4:21

You wanna feel the bark? Sticky. Sticky.

SPEAKER_04 4:38

Scraping the leaves.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

Some dogs do, some dogs don't.

SPEAKER_04 4:50
