00:00Hey, I just emailed over that list of riders that I want to interview.

00:06I actually am late for something, so I will look at it this weekend.

00:09So you can do it right now, you just won't?

00:11Basically, I will be able to look at them this weekend.

00:14Do you have a supervisor?

00:16Yeah. Mm-hmm. Cool.

00:18Yeah. See you next week. Can't wait.

00:20How you doing? Hey, there.

00:22Hey, should I be worried about anything? I'm up for that tenure-track job,

00:25and I haven't heard anything back.

00:26Amr, you are bringing tremendous value to the department right now.

00:33You're an adjunct. You don't have to be doing all this extra work.

00:36They're just taking advantage of you.

00:38Between my three classes and all my side hustle, I can barely pay my bills.

00:42Universities don't hire tenure-track professors anymore because it's just cheaper to hire us.

00:46I don't know. My students say that my work is next level.

00:49Write what you know, right? That is a cliché.

00:52I think that makes sense. I'm sorry, did that make sense?

00:54Uh, we'll edit the ending. Yeah. Thanks, Mr. Yosef.

00:56Wow, you're... that's amazing that you could do both of those things, actually.

01:01Don't try to write something that you think matters to me or matters to your friends.

01:05If you care about it, then it's worth saying.

01:08Okay, well, I'm still working on my book, but absolutely, me and Oprah are tight.

01:15I am literally paycheck to paycheck.

01:17Look, it's just the way things are. I'm fighting for you here. I'm doing everything I can.

01:21These students, they need me to mentor them and to be there for them, and I cannot do that. Not the way they deserve.

01:27Do you want to play hooky and go somewhere with me?

01:31Make sure that you enjoy your journey, right?

01:34And try to have as much fun as you possibly can because that's something... that's something we forget.

01:40I just want to say I would love to come out to Minnesota and work with you all.

01:44You sure you're ready for a Midwest winter?

01:46I mean, I have all that snowboarding gear sitting in my closet, so I got to put it to some good use.
