ScopeY wrote a pyong a bit ago about how the interview series had died, so we decided to bring it back with another edition of 73 Questions inspired by the iconic Vogue series. This is ScopeY's third interview on top of an AMA. He might as well just write his autobiography at this point.

Enjoy.

SEREINIK: How has your life changed since your interview with swinelord?
SCOPEY: I quit staffing on Genius around that time and dropped out of school a few months later so I guess you could call that a big change. I've had nothing going on in my life during this period, I've just been trying to work on my attitude towards life and myself. The best times are up ahead.

SRK: What do you enjoy most about Scandinavia?
SCPY: The serenity and high quality of life.

SRK: What do you enjoy most about Turkey?
SCPY: The good food. And I appreciate the warmth of the Turkish people even though it doesn't necessarily mesh well with my asocial self.

SRK: Favorite utensil?
SCPY: Not going to lie, I had to Google what an utensil was. Sounds like some sort of tongue instrument. Going to say fork because the best food is eaten with a fork.

SRK: What’s the best vegetable outside of potatoes?
SCPY: I don't eat any veggies, but I really like tomatoes.

SRK: Do you plan on living in Norway for the rest of your life?
SCPY: I'd like to travel more, but I have no plans of permanently relocating. I'm satisfied and comfortable here.

SRK: What does home look like to you?
SCPY: A roof, some walls and a fridge.

SRK: Can you drive and if so, are you a good driver?
SCPY: I'm an excellent driver. I can even drive with only one hand, believe it or not.
SRK: What’s something you wish people knew about you but don’t?
SCPY: I feel like you guys already know too much. And trying to think of this really cool thing to share with everyone feels sort of conceited.

SRK: If you won a million dollars, what’d you do with it after taxes?
SCPY: The full sum must be a lot with the taxes we got going here. I think I'd buy a house and fill it up with geek stuff, travel the world, share some of my cash with others and invest the rest. I don't have the energy to think of something super fancy right now. I'm a simple guy.

SRK: Celebrity crush?
SCPY: Wonder Woman.
Iconic.

SRK: What’s the hardest thing you’ve done in your life?
SCPY: Trying to think of a good answer to this question.

SRK: Twitter account to follow?
SCPY: @GeeksOfColor.

SRK: Tell me about your beard.
SCPY: It's a hairy cosmic entity with a life of its own that is the source of all my powers and more or less provides me with all my self-esteem.

SRK: What’s your favorite song to listen to in the car?
SCPY: I got a long list of songs I love to play in the car.. It's impossible to narrow it down to only one. Joe Budden's "Cut From A Different Cloth", The Game's "Ali Bomaye", Royce da 5'9's "Savages", 50 Cent's "You Should Be Dead", Lupe Fiasco's "Chopper", Jay Rock's "Hood Gone Love It", Tech N9ne' "Straight Out The Gate", Run The Jewels's "Panther Like A Panther", Pusha T's "Pain" -- just to name a few recent examples.

SRK: If I was to spend 73 hours in Norway with you, what would we do?
SCPY: That's an oddly specific time frame. I don't know how to have fun so you'd have to guide me.

SRK: How’d you get involved with Genius?
SCPY: I have no idea. I used to read song lyrics while listening to albums, and one day I came across Genius song pages on my quest. Started getting involved in the forum. Thought "wow this is cool" so I made some bad annotations and got Editored for it. Thousands of bad annotations later, I'm still here. The rest is history.
SRK: What’s the most underrated community on Genius?
SCPY: #MakeScreenGeniusGreatAgain

SRK: Favorite type of weather?
SCPY: Open skies, a light breeze and a little bit of sunshine peeking through. Around 20C is good enough for me.

SRK: What should Beyoncé name her twins?
SCPY: Memphis & Bleek.

SRK: What’s your favorite film of all time?
SCPY: I like a lot of films for different reasons, but I usually circle back to the same one when I think of a definite favorite. It's a rather simple pick and not particularly a deep cut or anything.. But I love the hell out of The Dark Knight. Been thinking about revisiting it on Netflix the last few days.

SRK: What does the world need more of?
SCPY: More pacifists.

SRK: What late night talk show do you want to be a guest on?
SCPY: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Undoubtedly.

SRK: What time do you wake up in the morning, usually?
SCPY: If I go to bed at a reasonable time I'll be up between 8-9 am. I like to get 8 hours of sleep. I'll have to adjust that once I go back to school though.

SRK: Biggest phobia?
SCPY: I have no phobias. I live a fear-free life.

SRK: What’s something you wish you were better at?
SCPY: Any type of socializing.
SRK: What colour are the walls in your room?
SCPY: They are blue with spots of white that I forgot to paint.

SRK: What’s the last book that you read?
SCPY: I don't think I've read a book in 10 years, but I've been on SparkNotes a lot.

SRK: What is a perfect birthday party?
SCPY: Birthday parties are for little kids.

SRK: What kind of phone do you have?
SCPY: iPhone 6. It's my fav phone so far because I didn't pay for it.

SRK: What question do you wish I asked you?
SCPY: Quite frankly, I'm a bit disappointed you didn't ask me about my lego collection.

SRK: What’s your lego collection like?
SCPY: I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

SRK: What’s the kindest thing someone’s ever done for you?
SCPY: This isn't the kindest thing, but one of the more memorable ones because of its simplicity and also it's hard to think about all the things. This one time in high school I was sitting alone in the cafeteria eating lunch and I guess I was having a bad day that day, but a girl came over to me to tell me my hair was nice (I had gotten a haircut the day before), smiled at me, then returned to her friends. That's it. It was such a small gesture, but it made me feel good for the rest of the day. It's kind of cheesy, but that's the kind of effect I wanna have on others. We don't often think about how the little things can have a big impact on people.

SRK: Milk first or cereal first?
SCPY: Always cereal first. If you are a milk-first-type-of-person you are not worthy of breakfast.

SRK: Genre of music you dislike?
SCPY: Hip hop and some pop is really all I listen to. Something I can't listen to at all is metal.

SRK: Best decade in history?
SCPY: The 90s.
Yes.

SRK: What’s one person who you’ve lost touch with that you want to reconnect with?
SCPY: A good friend that moved up in life and no longer has the time for me.

SRK: What is genius?
SCPY: The antithesis of Kanye West.

SRK: Song you listen to when you’re upset?
SCPY: I'm very rarely upset. I don't have a "play-when-upset-song".

SRK: How do you de-stress?
SCPY: I do this thing where I don't start stressing. It has worked for me so far.

SRK: Favorite drink?
SCPY: Fanta Exotic. Or Peach Iced Tea.
The only appropriate use of "exotic."

SRK: Coolest thing you own?
SCPY: My Spider-Man mug maybe. Can't think of a lot of "cool" things I own that I ought to showcase.

SRK: Best album in the last five years?
SCPY: Naturally, it's To Pimp a Butterfly.

SRK: Favorite kind of popcorn?
SCPY: Salted and buttery.

SRK: Musical moment you’re looking forward to in the next 12 months?
SCPY: I don't actually follow the music scene that closely. I just check the albums of the week to see if there's anything I think I'd enjoy. I have no idea what's going to happen in the next 12 months. I suppose the Jay Z album is the next big thing, which should hopefully be grandiose.

SRK: Favorite ice cream flavor?
SCPY: Cookie dough.

SRK: How bad is your eyesight?
SCPY: I'm nearsighted, but I don't remember the exact visual acuity number. I wear glasses when I go outside to see clearly. I was called in for another check-up, but didn't go. That was 2 years ago so I think I'm too late now.

SRK: What song do you know every word to?
SCPY: I've never known every word to any song, but the closest is probably 50 Cent's "In Da Club" or Kendrick Lamar's "m.A.A.d city". At one point I almost knew everything to Eminem's "Insane" for some inexplicable reason, but I choose not to acknowledge that.

SRK: Social issue you’re passionate about?
SCPY: Passionate, to me, implies some sort of engagement. I must admit I'm not very involved in much - I don't really post about any social issues either. I just react internally to any type of injustice in the world. I don't know if there's one specific thing that I feel more strongly about.

SRK: Pet you wish you had?
SCPY: A parrot that greets me in the morning and reminds me that I'm awesome.
SRK: Would you prefer arms as legs or legs as arms?
SCPY: It would probably look more natural to have arms as legs. Maybe I'd be more acrobatic this way. Only problem is I'd be armed all the time.

SRK: Describe a prank you’ve played on someone.
SCPY: I haven't done a lot of physical pranks. It's mostly different ways of scaring people. I suppose I've done more verbal pranks, but can't think of any specific cases that were especially great. I did prank call someone once and asked them why they were bothering me and they implied I was the one bothering them.

SRK: What time do you normally go to bed at night?
SCPY: I like to try to get to bed around midnight, but have been staying up to 3 am for the past month.

SRK: Worst thing about the Internet?
SCPY: It gives a platform to people like Anthony Fantano.

SRK: What’d you get a tattoo of if you had to tomorrow?
SCPY: I refuse to entertain the idea of possibly getting any type of tattoo.

SRK: Continent you’ve never been to that you wish you could visit?
SCPY: Africa.

SRK: Favorite Olympic sport?
SCPY: Race walking.
The New York Times cut out YEAHTIM from this picture for some reason.

SRK: Last YouTube video you watched?
Spider-Man and Venom In the Same Universe, X-Men: Dark Phoenix Finds Director - Collider Heroes

SRK: Rubber bands or paper clips?
SCPY: Rubber bands are way more fun. There's so much more you can do with them.

SRK: Do you miss anything about being a staff member on Genius?
SCPY: I miss the steady income. I miss the power to demod people. And just in case Lizzie will somehow stumble across this what I miss the most is our weekly hangouts.

SRK: Do you people-watch?
SCPY: I do have a habit of observing people when I'm out in public. I'm fascinated by the idea that we've all got our own story to tell. I'm a fan of people. People are great.

SRK: Advice for a young ScopeY?
SCPY: Don't be so hard on yourself. Talk to people. Do good in school. Get a job. Learn a skill.

SRK: Are you religious?
SCPY: Yes. I'm a Muslim.

SRK: Comic book everyone’s overlooking?
SCPY: It's not really an unpopular book, but I'm still going to say The Unbelievable Gwenpool. I think people initially dismissed it because they thought it was some weird hybrid of Deadpool & Gwen Stacey (she has no relation to either), but the book is super fun and just keeps getting better. Here's a nice Twitter thread about it.

SRK: What do you think the world will look like in ten years?
SCPY: The millennials will ruin the economy.

SRK: If you had a single word to describe America, what would it be?
SCPY: Messy.

SRK: Who always can make you laugh?
SCPY: My oldest cousin is the funnyman in the family.

SRK: Teach me a slang term in Norwegian.
SCPY: "Lættis". It basically describes extreme laughter. Going to let you figure out how to pronounce it.
Sue me.

SRK: Hit me up with a Spotify playlist I should listen to.
SCPY: I don't know of a single Spotify playlist.

SRK: Describe your neighbors in six words or less.
SCPY: I don't know them.

SRK: Last person you texted?
SCPY: My sister. The text reads "y u do dis". I must remind you that I don't actually have any friends, so this is going to be a boring answer. I never text.

SRK: Showers or baths?
SCPY: I don't actually own a bath. Baths are cozy, but I probably prefer a shower.

SRK: One last question: do seas rule or do they reign?
SCPY: Seas reign. And not rain like rain man or rain like rain dance or rain like a slight chance of rain when it's raining or rein like deer slaves to Santa Claus sleigh man, but reign like Queens that reign over made man.

Thanks, ScopeY. I love you.
