00:30I was so surprised that I had to pull out my waist.

00:35It happened over and over again.

00:38And then I had a car accident.

00:55We have this thing in the art world called provenance

00:58where we purchase the actual photo,

01:01the famous Doge photo from Atsuko herself,

01:05and we hold it in the organization

01:08kind of like the Mona Lisa sits inside the Louvre.

01:11And so a lot of people consider the Doge

01:14to be like the Mona Lisa of the Internet.

01:35When that day comes, I think that, you know,

01:38I think the world will mourn, will mourn,

01:41but then hopefully continue to remember

01:43what Doge really represented,

01:46what were the deeper values there,

01:48the wholesomeness, the silliness,

01:50the not taking yourself too seriously.

01:52And I think that's really the legacy

01:54that we want to propagate within our community

01:58because I think that's what will make the world

02:00a better place and a happier place.
