Day 10! Another day, another tea takeover. Sounds include Ziggy Bee's joy and tunes from Andrea Sofía. Until tomorrow. 

Let me know what you think of this episode.

SPEAKER_05

You hear that? It's day 10.

SPEAKER_03

Free tea.

SPEAKER_01

30 days of free tea in Mary Hernandez Park.

SPEAKER_05

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

We're with Ziggy. Hello!

SPEAKER_05

How are you feeling this morning?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I'm feeling like a kid in a candy shop. I'm so giggly and feeling very receptive. You've already got someone on your mat back there. I know. I'm feeling like Mr. Popular over here. Oh my goodness, so many things. We have Barley, Assong Black, and Mystery Box.

SPEAKER_05

I was gonna ask if you ever get anxiety.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, dude. Every day. Yeah? Yeah. Every single day. I wake up every morning quite anxious.

SPEAKER_05

What does it feel like in your body?

SPEAKER_01

I it's mostly my heart and like my chest is is tight. My chest is tight, my heart is kind of racing. There's an urgency. Body wide urgency.

SPEAKER_05

I'm not gonna lie. I'm feeling some anxiety. I'm gonna breathe and tune in to everything around me.

SPEAKER_00

Like, like honestly, I've like some of my lowest moments have I've pulled myself out from creating.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not used to playing steel strings. I play nylon. Pick it up every day and it becomes this like routine and it becomes like something you do, like the way that you wash dishes because you need to wash dishes, right? You forget that sometimes washing dishes is like the most meditative practice you can have throughout your day. At times we forget that living is an opportunity. This thing speaks in such a different way that humans can't.

SPEAKER_03

Conforme, conforme, todo lo que más que consciente reconozco. El patron de donde le caigo. No worries.

SPEAKER_02

Very cute dog. I get so frustrated with the world and capitalism because it's like this is what I'm supposed to be doing every day. The moments that we create in vain, we just end up feeling so unsatisfied and empty.

SPEAKER_03

Conforme, conforme, todo lo que más que consento, reconozco. El patronde, donde recaico. Respira, repita. Todo lo que más te domina, reconozco. El patronde, donde recaico. To the movimiento. Lo reconozco, lo reconozco, lo reconozco.

SPEAKER_02

We're just creating based off of what we have in front of us, you know? It's a beautiful process. A friend reminded me that we have to keep the richness of our hands. Because those are the moments that make us feel most alive and most human.

SPEAKER_03

Lo reconozco, lo reconozco, lo reconozco.

SPEAKER_01

Time.

SPEAKER_04

Time, time check, time check.

SPEAKER_05

601.

SPEAKER_01

Put it down.

SPEAKER_04

Put it down. Put it down.

SPEAKER_05

How are you feeling? The tea stand is closed.

SPEAKER_04

It's closed. It's officially closed. I'm feeling great. I actually feel like I could do it for six more hours. Which is insane. But I just feel I feel so energized. I'm just so happy to be human. I just am so, I feel so lucky to be a human on this earth existing at the same time as all of the other people on earth right now. It's so it's like we are all so interconnected, and doing something like this just really solidifies that. And it puts me in place of the context of the world. I'm so grateful. Honestly.

SPEAKER_05

Miles. Do you feel like you had your own? Are you serving the tea tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01

No. There's a surprise guest.

SPEAKER_05

Really?

SPEAKER_01

I cannot reveal it on a pod.

SPEAKER_05

What? I guess you'll have to stay tuned to find out who it is.
