Dassa Ben-Ami: Interview three. I was hunting for rabbits and met Miguel Caldera who had a really nice campsite. Miguel, can you tell us about it?
Miguel Caldera: Yeah, I mean. Why not. You said this will help people, right?

You know how it is. Programmed elaborate pointless systems just so I could be there for a while. Kept running into issues, you know, so I could stay longer...
Dassa Ben-Ami: Wait, are you saying the Volunteer program was an elaborate ruse so you could spend more time with Garry?! You've got to be kidding me!
Miguel Caldera: *clears throat* Um... I meant to say that... you find ways to combine work with the things you love, right?
Dassa Ben-Ami: Ugh! This interview is over. We need to talk. Miguel. What the F---
