It's nice to meet you, Mr. Daps.
0:06
>> Nice to meet you as well, Cricket. I'm
0:08
so happy to get to talk with you today.
0:10
For those that may not know you already,
0:13
could you tell a little bit about your
0:14
backstory? What's your life like?
0:16
>> Oh, gosh. Well, where do we begin?
0:19
I grew up in the country. I'm a little
0:21
country boy, I guess. And
0:25
we had to move. Tragedy struck and we
0:28
lost the farm and and we had to move to
0:29
Big City, but we got to move in with my
0:32
grandma. And I love her very much. She's
0:35
very crazy and weird, but very fun. And
0:38
so we got a little little farm in the
0:43
and and and then I get to go on all
0:45
sorts of fun adventures in Big City.
0:47
It's a pretty good life, I guess.
0:50
>> It sounds like a pretty good life. And
0:52
we have something in common cuz I grew
0:53
up on the farm in a small town as well.
0:57
>> I did. Now I live in the Big City. It's
1:00
>> Oh my gosh. What's
1:02
>> What's the biggest difference that you
1:04
find between life back in the small town
1:06
and now life in the Big City?
1:10
life moves a little bit faster in the
1:12
Big City, let me tell you what. And and
1:15
there's cars everywhere, which took me a
1:16
while to get used to. Almost got hit a
1:19
couple times cuz I just like walk in the
1:20
street. But the cars will not stop for
1:23
you. They will not stop. So this is how
1:25
it was something I had to adjust to.
1:28
And the birds here are a little
1:29
different. Like the birds in the country
1:31
are really sweet and they sing little
1:33
songs. And the birds in the city, they
1:35
just kind of poop everywhere and they're
1:38
And there's rats everywhere, but they're
1:43
and then lots of people and I like the
1:45
people. I like to meet people. And um
1:51
I guess I kind of lost my train of
1:53
thought there. I went into a fugue state
1:55
and was just talking about Big City cuz
1:56
I really like Big City. It's a great
2:00
>> Totally fine. So, you like to have a lot
2:02
of adventures in Big City from what I
2:03
understand. Where do you get these
2:06
inspirations for your biggest, wildest
2:10
>> Oh, yes, my ideas. That's a It's a very
2:13
good question. Where do ideas come from?
2:16
inspiration can strike me anywhere, you
2:18
know. I'll be walking along and maybe
2:21
I'll see a bug and I'll just follow him
2:23
for a while and then all of a sudden I'm
2:25
somewhere else. I'm like, "Whoa, where
2:26
the heck day am I? Where how did I get
2:28
here?" And then I'll just kind of get up
2:30
to some mischief, you know. I'll find
2:33
I kind of like to test things to their
2:37
Like the other day I was in the park and
2:39
I saw a uh a lady, she was walking a
2:42
bunch of dogs and I happened to have a
2:44
bunch of dog treats in my pocket. And so
2:46
I just threw those suckers everywhere
2:48
and I watched the dogs go crazy. So I
2:50
just look for little moments like that,
2:52
you know, little things to
2:54
you know, I like to stay present, be in
2:56
the moment and appreciate things. So I
2:58
just let those dogs, you know, just go
3:01
I just cracks me up just thinking about
3:05
>> And and you might have answered my next
3:08
sometimes your adventures are with your
3:11
Do you have a a secret to surviving
3:16
>> A secret to surviving our adventures? I
3:19
guess the secret is don't die. I mean,
3:21
that's always the secret to surviving
3:22
anything, but you know, I try to I try
3:25
to take precautions where it makes
3:27
sense. You know, I'm not I'm not just a
3:29
risky risk-taker and not an adrenaline
3:33
junkie or something. You know, like I'll
3:34
wear a helmet or something if I'm going
3:36
to jump off a bridge. I want to be safe,
3:39
you know, but Tilly and I Yeah, exactly.
3:43
Yeah, you know, we we kind of check each
3:46
like one time I was riding a chicken
3:48
around the backyard and I was like,
3:50
"Hey, um, this okay? Is this safe?" And
3:53
Tilly looked around, she goes, "Yep."
3:55
So, I thought, "Oh, good. She's got my
3:57
back. This is good. We're we're looking
3:59
out for each other." So, we we we
4:01
compliment each other in that way.
4:03
>> That is a very good thing, and I'm so
4:05
glad that we get to see your adventures
4:07
happen and and be I'm going to call it
4:10
inspired by them, if not entertained.
4:12
>> Yes, they are. They are.
4:17
What's it like [clears throat] having,
4:19
you know, all of these things being
4:20
documented and shared around you?
4:22
>> Yeah, it it's um, you know, in some ways
4:25
it's changed things, but in other ways
4:27
it hasn't. Like, I I I I try not to let
4:30
the uh idea of, "Hey, this is a show and
4:33
and people are going to watch this." I I
4:35
don't let that dictate my actions, you
4:37
know? Like, I just go. I just uh move
4:40
forward and I just, you know, I I I
4:42
don't think, I just do, you know? Um,
4:45
and uh well, that's all I do. That I you
4:49
know, I'm not thinking right now. Like,
4:52
ask me something. Shoot.
4:54
>> That sounds like a good way to go. Uh
4:56
what's your favorite color?
5:02
>> Favorite color. What's your favorite
5:04
uh yeah, I don't know. Like,
5:09
>> I love it. Uh so, do I understand that
5:11
there's new episodes of your adventures
5:14
coming out very soon?
5:15
>> oh my gosh, yes, there is. We've got uh
5:18
season 5 of Big City Greens. Can you
5:20
believe it? Season 5 of Big City Greens.
5:22
>> Yeah, it's coming out on Disney Channel
5:25
August 21st, and then guess what? It'll
5:27
be on Disney Plus the next day.
5:30
>> Could you tease a little bit about what
5:32
what we can look forward to?
5:34
>> Yeah, I can tease I can tease you a
5:38
that hat looks funny, and I like your
5:41
little bow tie, and uh
5:44
and well, I feel like you could you
5:46
could be in the show, man. You'd make a
5:48
great character in the show.
5:50
I I like your overall look.
5:52
>> That would be absolutely incredible.
5:54
>> But but I'm just teasing. I know you're
5:56
asking about the show. I was just doing
5:57
a little word play there. I mean, in the
6:00
show, um there is an episode where um
6:02
wouldn't you know it, I get uh well, I
6:04
hate to say it, but kidnapped by some
6:06
agency and uh they got they try to turn
6:09
me into a super soldier. And um but then
6:13
I kind of goes awry and the gamma ray
6:16
thing that they're trying to blast me
6:18
with, it just hits my leg and I get a
6:20
big old leg for a little while. And that
6:22
was cool cuz I was running around and
6:24
smashing stuff. But um you know, that's
6:26
just uh I guess it's just a day in the
6:31
>> Well, I can't wait to see more days in
6:33
the life of Cricket when season 5 comes
6:35
out later this month. Thank you so much
6:37
for your time. Can't wait to see new
6:39
episodes of Big City Greens.
6:41
>> Oh my gosh, that means so much. Thank
6:42
you, Mr. Dabs. It was it was a pleasure
6:44
to meet you and talk with you, man.
6:46
>> Likewise. Thank you.
