    I like how all their different reactions kinda convey a different bit of personality in each person. I think my favorite is the center lady's reaction.

      She's the only one grasping the hilarity of the situation. I like to imagine the guy to her right was so shocked he stood up and backed into the corner.

      Weird peoplewatching post time

      That woman is Tamika Miller. She uses a broad assortment of pseudonyms (none of which have "stuck", coupled with false positives made it hard to find her), apparently has a mildly popular Instagram page that primarily profiles her prowess in hair treatment, and she has some history of being a very small-time model who has been trying to get into other mediums.

      Miller is apparently based in Los Angeles, so I have absolutely no idea how she ended up in a Zoom call between New York Public Radio's WNYC and The New Yorker. The wide variety of pseudonyms she uses makes it impossible to tell if she has some other area of expertise, but she's most likely successful at something aside from the modeling in order to end up in that conversation. Judging from her YouTube, she seems to be somewhat eccentric. For example, Miller's main motivation for traveling to Japan was to get cheap clear plastic cosmetic containers at a dollar store over there. Her twitter is similarly impossible to ascertain.

      I don't have a clue on what kind of life Miller leads, but she seems to be enjoying it.
