| 0:07.2 | Hobo Nick here, Smelly Hobo Nick. What's up? Oh just stinking up Arizona right now. |
| 0:12.5 | I was scared wondering how we were going to find you. It was actually really easy. You were the only guy pushing this cart facing traffic. |
| 0:20.8 | It was actually pretty easy to find you. |
| 0:22.6 | Yeah, I might have the baddest car around right now. |
| 0:26.6 | I don't know, I've seen a few other ones, but no, I'm pretty much the only one. |
| 0:31.6 | There's a couple other people walking across the country, so I'm not too hard to find if you just know my general location. |
| 0:40.6 | All right, well, let's refresh people who don't know your story. |

| 1:29.1 | just couldn't stand it anymore and so i just needed to get away and uh i don't really know why this |
| 1:36.1 | this particular thing need to get away though they go to mexico on a vacation yeah i guess i'm i was a |
