[Assistant] These lords are building enormous territorial centralized domains. What the feudal lords are trying to do is essentially control everything and everybody within their territories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had not proved himself on the battlefield. He did not have his own men who came with him into office when he became Shogun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tokugawa shogunate under his rule acts much more capriciously towards lords that disobey their orders or flout any of the rules and regulations which bound them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The alternate attendance system had been evolving over the decades of Tokugawa rule. And primarily what it meant is that great lords had to spend part of the year in Edo and part of the year back in their domains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in fact, there grows up in Edo a class of samurai who only know Edo, even though their domain may be in the farthest reach of Japan. They're born in Edo, they work in Edo, and they only know Edo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] grew up to be very substantial towns themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The maritime restrictions are designed to prevent any unauthorized contact with the outside world. They're designed to control trade and they're designed to prevent, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Christian missionaries from reaching Japan and being able to proselytize. And, and they form the bedrock of Tokugawa foreign policy for the life of the shogunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shogun is faced with a strategic threat on three fronts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the north, the Russians are coming. From the south, the British are coming. And ultimately from the east, the Americans come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was great fear of Perry. There were, uh, the, the portraits of Perry as a devil. There were the portraits of his ships belching fire. All of this served to, to whip up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, near hysteria on the part of, of portions of the Japanese populace. At the same time, there's fascination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's fascination with Perry. There's fascination with these ships, these enormous ships that hadn't been seen before. There's fascination with the technological prowess of the Americans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head of the shogunate decides that he is going to pull all of the daimyo in Japan. What should the shogunate do? Uh, this is a radical break with tradition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Authority of the shogunate is to deal with foreign relations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The title of the Shogun, of course, is the great barbarian quelling General Isimo. And yet here is the head of the Shogunate asking the Daimyo what he should do. Two positions are staked out. One being known as the open the country argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ieyasu sent a large force to lay siege to the castle and they fought day and night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mothers, concubines, and daughters all stayed in the tower and cast bullets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We weren't a bit afraid of the heads and used to sleep in the midst of the nasty smell of bloody heads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Far to the east lies a country called Japan and it abounds in gold and silver. Why should not that land be added to my domains?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't read a word, of course, but drawings of the viscera, bones and muscles were quite unlike anything I had previously seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The corpse of the criminal was that of an old woman of about 50 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we compared what we saw with the illustrations in the Dutch book, it was exactly as depicted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gradually we got so we could decipher ten lines or more a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After two or three years of hard study, everything became clear to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know she just hasn't got a chance. I hope you have a swell time.

[Assistant] Chapter 6. The Lost Boy's New Mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he stopped smiling when he went and saw Wendy's body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boys were still silent Peter began to look troubled


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally the boys turned around and pointed at Wendy's body on the ground. Peter did not say anything. He just stared at her body.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he walked over to her and gently pulled the arrow out of her chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter then picked up a bow and put the arrow on it. Just as he was aiming the bow at Toodles, Curly cried, Wait, the lady is lifting her arm. She is alive. Peter ran over to her and sat down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He realized that Toodle's arrow had hit the button necklace that Wendy was wearing around her neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toodles told Peter. Peter became angrier than he had ever been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He measured Wendy's body and decided how big the house should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just then, John and Michael arrived. They were very tired from flying, and they almost could not stand up. But Peter made them work also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I had a lovely house. The smallest ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The boys were all happy to hear her sing because they had found red wood and the ground was covered with green grass. They all sang to Wendy as they worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy sang her answer, Oh now I want to have happy windows all around with roses in the garden and smiling babies warm inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they made covers for the windows using yellow leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sadly, there were no roses and babies, and they had to pretend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could not see Wendy because she was built inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The door did not have a knocker, so Toodles took off his shoe and hung it on the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Toodles told her. It's beautiful, Wendy smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the boys then sat on one knee and held out their arms, begging, Do you really want me to? She replied, I'm just a little girl. I don't have any experience as a mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wendy thought for a minute. Okay, she said, I will try my best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now come inside and take off your shoes, you boys. Your feet must be wet and cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon I will put you all to bed, and I promise to tell you a story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I had to do this show. I have a couple other shows. Uh, my buddy Banks, he's, uh, launched a clothing line to help him out with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, they, they start off well, they have a lot of relevant people, but then they make friendships with these people, and when they fall off...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They hit them to come up like every year after and it's like you're seeing these people on the streamies, you're seeing these people, you know, in the YouTube rewind who are dead and irrelevant. Right. And I wish, you know, that these types of things that happen that celebrate, you know, the online community would represent who's hot right now, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I mean, just, there's been a lot of changes, but to go more into that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I heard, and there's an article out there that backs it up, is that, you know, basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone and anyone could get partnered. Anybody can make content and make it on YouTube and the advertisers weren't happy. You know, one of the main ad buyers or sellers or placement companies got frustrated with not just YouTube, but Facebook too and said, listen, if you because at YouTube was controlling where the ads were being placed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This major ad buyer was like, listen, if you don't let us place these ads and being in control of this, then we're going to pull them. So there's actually a third party system or company, I can't think of the name of it off the top of my head, that is placing the ads where they go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about them getting, you know, their ads placed on ad-friendly content. It's about getting their ads on the bigger channels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's one of the biggest misconceptions and I thought about doing a whole video on it and I just haven't got around to it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. You're seeing a lot of that, a lot of smaller YouTubers and mid-range YouTubers complaining and then getting that backlash from their audience and it's like, you know, it's really complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think most of the ad revenue right now is being taken from the little guys and just going to the big guys. Right. Because I'm seeing crazy CPMs from huge channels and smaller channels, I mean, as soon as they upload it's demonetized right away and they have to wait for approval, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's been the blessing in this and, you know, uh, in all of this really is that you're finding more people that are doing this are doing it because they love it, right? So that that better content is going to rise to the top where, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before the ad boycott, I mean, every subject that was trending or popular, there was a million videos and you know, it was either clickbait or irrelevant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was just to get that clickbait views now with those new people knowing that they're not really going to make that much money from doing that. I think it gets rid of a lot of the trash that's just there for money and it gives an opportunity for people that really have a passion for what they're doing and are making amazing content to come up through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I, I, I agree with that because, you know, we see waves of this, you know, eh, in the beginning of YouTube, it was gaming really hard, alright, and then it was the prank channels, they kind of took over, and then now it's been the vlogger, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This diss track thing that happened this summer, I think, you know, I honestly thought that it was going to go that way. Now it's slowed down, but that's where a lot of views are coming from right now. And if, if somehow that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gets picked back up, I think that would be the next big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say rice gum. I mean, he's the one that really popularized it. Did it happen before him? Sure, I'm sure someone has. He got bodied.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you and Jesse's track on him was really, really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're just gonna talk numbers, I mean, Ricegum, he's just massive. He's massive. I mean, he's getting more views on, you know, a little diss track than most legit rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will see, the thing is, is like, I'll just take little points throughout the day of something that, you know, is entertaining and I'll post it up on Twitter, but actually making a vlog. I mean, at some point you're living some fake ass life if you're a vlogger, like, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at, but at the end of the day, like uhm, you know, as long as there is a story, a somewhat interesting story about Jake Paul, I know I can bring in a lot of viewers and then I can talk about things that I really want to talk about, right? Right. So, you know, it's this battle that I think every YouTuber or content creator struggles with. It's like views over what you actually want to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another thing that I try to do. I uhm, try my hardest not to take the greatest thing out of that and just put it up on DramaAlert. I wanna give enough incentive to make sure whoever the original content creator is, even if it is Jake Paul, to go watch their video. I don't wanna take from them, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's uhm, eh, sometimes it's bad, but I, if it's a serious story, I usually reach out to that person and I'm just like, I'm dropping this today, you know, how can I help you? Do you have a statement? You know, like, you know, it's rough and there's a lot of times where it's like someone I don't like and someone I do like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And back in the day, Drama Alert used to be, or at least I used to try to not be biased. But if you watch the show recently, I'm just biased as fuck. And I think-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason why the show is taking off so much now, it's because my audience trusts my judgment. If I don't like someone, they're like, okay, well, if Keem doesn't like him, I don't like him either. If I like someone, well, if Keem likes him, then I'm going to like him too, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this, I don't like Phil. Uhm. Oh, okay. You know, he did this, uh, fucking Patreon dude's worth 20 million dollars and he does a Patreon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when these guys attacked me leafy and grayed and all that shit, like he, he covered that story and kind of painted me in a bad light. And you know, I just feel like the dude's never done anything to defend me. There's times where he has to report on drama alert and he'll, he'll like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's because, you know, the only thing we can really judge our success on are the numbers. And if you really think about the numbers, the numbers represent people, you know, and so it's the numbers mean something. They really do mean something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And after you, after you become really wealthy, you know, what else is there to achieve? You know what I mean? So the, the, the only goals really I had left was beat Scarce, beat DeFranco, beat anyone else. You know, that's, that's really it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there definitely is. There absolutely definitely is. Especially when, you know, this last month where the Jake Paul shit just took off and the channel made ridiculous amounts of money. Yeaah. There definitely is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time I feel like if you took all the money away, there's so much passion that I have for making the content and being a part of the community, I'd still make the videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought about that a lot of times, you know, I get involved in a lot of drama, like on Twitter and whatnot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, this is a good story, but like, I can't cover it. But I thought about like, maybe I could cover it and just try to be as unbiased as possible and even go hard on Keemstar, like be like, oh, he fucked up here. He's crossing the line. I've thought about doing that. I don't know if I should try that or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think uhm, you know, am I past it? Or what was the question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, it was, it really was, and I think a lot of people really don't understand that, you know, there's been a lot of YouTubers that have been in trouble, or that have had hate on them, and there's been a video that was uploaded with like 3 million views calling them out or whatnot. I mean, shit, during the summer of 2016, we had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I wouldn't want to change a thing because at the end of the day, uh, I get a lot of credit for surviving that, you know what I mean? Uhm, and I think it's just kind of a cool thing to have. And now, I think people are afraid to fuck with me, right? Because they know at some point, like, I'm still gonna be around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened with me at the time is, uh, I think I was getting like maybe $200 for like a million views, right? Which is like 10% of the norm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I just said screw it, there's not enough ads going on because I would refresh my videos and an ad would play like every 20 fucking clicks, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there wasn't enough ads to go around. So what I did for uhm, a time period is I just took ads off. I said let them go to the small people. And I just still made content. Did I slow down? Yeaah. You know, it's, money is definitely a motivator no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the end of the day, like, I think the people that are successful in this, money's not the main, the main thing, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, name someone where money was the main motivator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I think, I think the people that are at the top, I think they really, really, really fucking love this, you know? Uhm, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Phil DeFranco, like I just criticized him. Uhm, but there's part of that dude where you could tell that he, he really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really fucking loves what he's building. And it's, it's so much more than money. And I feel like these people that, you know, have this crazy clickbait, like Lance Stewart for an example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, clearly that guy is, is money oriented and incentivized by, by just the money. And his content has went to shit. His channel is going to shit. And eventually those people do fall off. They can't survive, right? Cause they just don't have a passion for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to give credit to both Jake Paul and Logan Paul because the style of their videos and like sometimes I'll be watching their videos and I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, next thing you know, I'm at the end. It's like, holy fuck, I just watched this whole thing. And it's because they have that ability to make content that is acceptable to people with ADHD. I have ADHD, right? And so do all the kids. So, you know, they're making content to, uh, make those people happy and it's, it's working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that's part of the brand, right? Like, I think that's part of the goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if they were to be cool, they would alienate so many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a Gucci Mane, uh, doing the video, or the song with Jay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard 50 grand quarter a couple of times, you know, behind the scenes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I started off my YouTube career as a troll and making pranks and stuff and online gaming and just talking shit. And, uh, basically what happened is, is when that was done in Overway, then I made a shit ton of money with that indie game, uh, Fortress Craft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't sure what I was going to do in my career, so as a joke, as a meme on Twitter when people would fight, because nobody fought making YouTube videos at each other back in that day in the gaming community. They always fought on Twitter because if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It never went farther than that. Like nobody made videos on what people were talking about. It was just, you know, two creators talking shit. So what I did is I started shoutcasting it, so and so said this, so and so said that. And then I developed this, you know, hashtag drama alert for the thing. And it was just, it was just a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then one day, uh, beef broke out between a guy called white boy, seven street and blame truth. And I said, fuck it. I'm going to make a video and I'm going to read the tweets back and forth and make it in a, in a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when I actually started appearing on camera and showing my face, I just, because it was still kind of a joke, I made this character that was acting, you know, like a fucking Dan Rather or whatever, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, there were a lot of channels that YouTube shut down, uh, many channels. I had, in 2014, I had four channels get over 100,000 subscribers that they shut down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I would make a new channel and you know, it would get traction and they would find the new channel and they'd shut it down. But I was gaining subs so fast that they'd hit over a hundred K before they found the new one and shut it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what happened is like in February 2016, I finally, through my network and a lot of emails and a lot of talk with YouTube, I got cleared. So that's when that all stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think what, whatever you do, if you do it for a long time, you just get better and better and better and better. So, you know, the early videos you see me, uh, I'm not as animated as I am now because, you know, it, you know, Keemstar, the DramaAlert guy just grew into, you know, what it is today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think I'm done growing. I think it's, you know, it's gonna morph into something even more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I, uh, I, I definitely know that one day, you know, I'm gonna be too old, you know, and I'm not gonna be able to do this anymore and I think I'm gonna have someone else come in and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I've definitely thought about that, and the problem is, is, you know, the more people you work with, the more unreliable, you know, your content will be, because someone's gonna get something wrong, someone's gonna get something fucked up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so really, like, a lot of people have said, why don't you get an editor, you know, you got so much money, so, so much success, just get an editor. It's like, I can't trust somebody to get the video done immediately, you know, get it done right away. Uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've definitely seen it branch off. In fact, you know, we talked about having a drama alert just for eSports and gaming because it originally started that way and now it's moved on to pretty much YouTube as a whole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, gaming is just not as big as like, you know, Jake Paul news. So we thought about branching off and having a host for that. So yeaah, it's something I've definitely thought about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, your main goal is to entertain as many people as possible, right? It always is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the hardcore, like, you know, fans that are tuning in every day and supporting your channel, you gotta give them what, what they want, you know? And like this summer, you know, you can criticize me until you're blue in the face, Jake Paul in every title and every thumbnail, that's what my audience wanted. And if you try to tell me that they didn't, you know, go look at my fucking numbers, go look at my social blade, you know, that's what they wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I can't get on Instagram. Every time I make one, it gets fuckin' hacked. Every time. I don't know. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people like that content, you know, and I can't knock them for that. You know, some people watch my stuff and I, you know, make their ears bleed. And some people like that. I just think it, what he's doing, it doesn't appeal to the masses and what I'm doing does, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was huge, and it wasn't really about Scarce, you know, uh, you know, Scarce hasn't really done anything too horrible to me in the last couple years. So it's, it's not really Scarce, it's what Scarce represented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scarce, like you said, was their guy that they built up. You know, he was their guy that they told everyone to go sub to. I mean, he was at 1.1 million subs, I was at 1.6.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when I bought my house, I was, I was, you know, my house was a lot, you know, but when I bought it, you know, it was a motivator to, you know, get an even bigger house, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I absolutely love it because it's where I'm from. Uh, if I was single, if I was single, I'd be obviously here. Um, but you know, I got a family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I feel like there's someone out there that's, that's going after these guys, cause, uh, Colossal is crazy, got shut down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I didn't hear that. I just heard that they were making crazy bank, but now I guess it's dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I think they just, I think they just open it up the same way YouTube is, like anybody make an account, anybody get their content up on Netflix, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I, I, I totally feel you. I think someone, there should be some type of competitor, so when the whole community is screaming at YouTube and nobody listens, if there's a competitor in place, they have to listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a website a couple years ago that was gonna compete against YouTube, and what YouTube did is they literally hit up like some of the biggest creators that were planning on going over there, and they said, okay, uhm, we'll give you 2.5 million dollars each, uh, but, and, you know, basically how-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this was on, this was on, there was some fucking platform that came up and people were talking about going over there and they offered all these creators like big millions of dollars and they basically said, listen, you're not going to get paid for the next two years. We're going to pay you upfront.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there was a competitor to YouTuber, uh, YouTube and they were bringing a lot of big people over and YouTube just fucking finally, they saw this and it scared them. You know, they went and paid everyone two years in advance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they got out the calculators, they figured out what would this creator make in two years. They gave them that money up front and said, we'll give you all this money that you'll make in the two years. If you make under this, you don't have to pay us back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've heard, I hear nothing but bad stories about her, I don't know, like I, I feel like, uh, partly to blame for creating that monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Well, I mean, it's like a lot of people will criticize me. They're like, why are you covering this person? Why are you giving them attention? Look dude, they want attention and they're willing to do or say or be this crazy individual, which just creates entertainment for you. So just shut up, you know, and let me-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've always had this rule, right? Because I do have a lot of friendships with content creators that, you know, I grew up with here on YouTube and whatnot. So I do know constantly a lot of stuff behind the scenes that never sees the light of day. Or people call me and they just tell me stuff, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I always have this rule and the rule is if it's not public, then I won't report it. Yes. You know, I'm not the fucking leaker bro. I'm not leaking any shit, but if it's somehow, if you tell me, you know, you, I don't know, fucking ran somebody over with your car last weekend, I'm going to say shit, right? I'm not going to say a goddamn word, but if someone comes out publicly claiming that you ran them over with a car, I'm going to report that this person saying that, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was obsessed with clowns, my mom bought me this fucking clown porcelain doll, which was freaky as shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, yeah, when I was a kid, uh, I liked entertaining people. I wanted to be a clown and I dreamed of being like, you know, famous movie star and singer like most kids do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then reality hit, right? And uhm, you know, I, I grew up on a dairy farm, so I grew up doing manual labor, and I was like, fuck this shit, I wanna be a businessman.

[Assistant] So, I ended up working at an attorney's office doing legal collections and I was really successful at it. And this YouTube shit just happened by accident. I got drunk one night because I got this $2,000 bonus check. I was, took my friends out, we were drinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got home, got on the Halo 3, and when I was playing it, I was talking shit. I like told this dude that I was gonna bend his grandmother over my knee, shave her ass hair, roll open a blunt and make him smoke it. I was saying some fucking awful shit because I was wasted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the guy contacted me, he's like, yeah, I want to make videos. Do you want to make videos with us? And what not. I was like, yeah. So, uh, it was crazy that I had this like little dream and then I had this opportunity to fulfill that dream, you know, being an entertainer or what not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when I was growing up, like everybody got in a fight. Like everyone's been in a fight, you know? Now there's kids walking around that have never, they don't know what it's like to be punched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't know what it's, and I think that's why they're so loud and fucking cocky and what not is they've never been hit. You know what I mean? They'll never experience what it's like to step out of line and just get fucking dropped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's all over the place, man. Uh, I'd say the average one is probably about, you know, 16 to 18. Uhm, but you know, you have these little kids that come up and it's like, why are you watching my, I swear in every single video, why are you watching my content? And then you have, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, old people, you know, guys that are like 45, you know, coming up and it's just, it's so strange to me, you know, that's a rare occurrence, but it happens a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one thing I'm really proud of, I'm really proud of my show is it like, keeps kind of the community together as far as like the other entertainers, right? So like, when I talk to other creators, they all watch Drama Alert, you know, because that's how they keep up to date with what the fuck's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, that's one thing that I just, I absolutely love is that I have all the other creators watching me. You know, it's really important to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's one thing I really like about your show and I just talked to your partner or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and he was just basically saying, it's like, you know, there's all these different, you know, subcultures of, you know, things going on in this area. And, you know, they, BMX, rapping, you know, uh, clothing, whatnot, it all came together right here. And it's cool that you, you've done that as well, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how I found out about you, is you, you defended me, uhm. Oh, with Fousey. With the FouseyTube shit was going on, uh, where him and RiceGum were doing some fake fight, and they were basically trying to call me out because I fell for it, which I didn't fall for. You never fell for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Fousey was coming at me hard, sending his fans to hate at me at the time. And I just remember you made a video probably defending me. You're like, FouseyTube is one of the fakest fucking YouTubers there is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you came out, when you came out with that video, it was before everybody seen FouseyTube as a fake, you know, a fraud. At that time, people were still looking at him like some YouTube god and icon, so I really appreciate you defending me in that scenario.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's changed a bit. Me and him are actually pretty cool now. He's changed a lot. Uhm, but yeaah. He's getting fucked on the ad boycott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever looked at socialblade and they have like the grade? You know, like B plus, A plus, whatever. That grade is based on so many different factors. How fast you're getting views, how fast your retention time is, or how fast, you know, you're getting subs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's some type of calculation like that, so if your channel is popping and it gets that combination of all these different things going, you start getting ads no matter what, bam bam bam, every single video that you put up is monetized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, he- no, no, no, no, no. Like, I- some video I saw the other day, he had like 40,000 views.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, back in the early beta, yeah, definitely playing a character, but now, uh, I feel like I'm just more me, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough, it's because, you know, unbaited, people want Keemstar to yell and scream and be mad and fucking talk over people and be very passionate about whatever the fuck I'm talking about. Uhm, so you know, sometimes I just feel the need to, to, to be that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just fun, right? Uhm, I, I think, you know, with the type of job that I do, and the type of job that you do, you need an outlet at some point, and, dude, when I can get on that podcast and yell and scream at clown, it's such a fucking outlet, you know? It's like therapy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically what happened is me, me, Chad, Andy and Clown, we, we did an episode of Beta and, uh, me and Clown got in a fucking real argument, real, real argument. And since then I've been kinda in like boycott mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Clown are actually really really close friends, uhm, but, uh, when it comes to the podcast, you know, the reason why we're friends is because we see each other as like equals, but, you know, we both equally think that we're right, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they're not pulling their weight, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andy really fucking grabbed it by the balls and he became this huge fucking streamer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was right, right after we started the podcast, you really, you know, cause I, I remember when we had this talk with you and Chad, I go, guys, listen, I'm going to promote this thing, which is going to get you views and whatnot, but I need you out there doing for yourself to help the podcast as well. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I did streaming primarily, uhm, at the same time I started YouTube, like way back in 2009, 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I used to stream on a place called BlogTV, I'm pretty sure everyone knows that name. From a certain meme. But uhm. Uh huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's good. If you are a streamer and you're doing what he does, I mean, it's hard. You have to be on non-stop for hours. It's hard. I've streamed for two or three hours at a time and it's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's really different. It's really, really different. Like, uh, when people donate to a stream, I have no problem with it. Like, I, it's like a live performance, right? When people donate to a YouTuber through a Patreon, I'm like, uh, you know, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, the other thing that really bothers, bothers me with Patreon is, you know, people have to figure out perks, right? So they'll put like, okay, if you give me a hundred dollars a month, I'll jump into a Skype call with you for five minutes a month. And it's just like that, that alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They never do. Yeah, a lot of times they don't do it, but on top of that, you're fucking charging someone to talk to you, like, what the fuck is that, you know? Uh, it's, it's just, it's, it's just a creepy thing that I, I just look down on, especially when someone who is a fucking multimillionaire is doing it. That's when it's just like, what the actual fuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not boring for the fucking viewers because the viewers get to hang out with thousands of their friends, right? And sit there and listen to new music and judge is this shit, is this not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every once in a while, they're going to hear something play and they're going to be like, that's a banger and they get credit for making that person, you know, and the show gets, it's a fucking great experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just, you know, if you're an entertainer, there's a lot of stuff that's being done privately, you know, beefs and whatnot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not only that, there's times where I have a problem with someone and I'll fucking publicly say it and be like, you know, I have a problem with you, blah, blah, blah. And I'll get shit and I'll start reading through the criticism and I'll be like, oh, you know what? Maybe I am acting fucking wrong here and I'll change how I'm acting, you know? So a lot of times it's good and actually you find the right solution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This interview might be complete shit, but this moment right here is gonna be gold. And that's why you'll see me if you go back and watch that. I have this crazy fucking joker grin because I know that is the fucking moment right there where it made this thing legit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I told him, um, you know, obviously he had no motivation to come on. So I told him, I said, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think anything happened. I, I really do not think anything happened. I think that she ran into somebody, uh, at the club or something or fell or something. I think she bruises easily. All right. I think when she got back to the table, she lied to her friends to, to spice up the story. Oh, Banks hit me, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, you know, they start talking about it, it eventually goes back home, they tell Jake about it, and I think it's just this little white lie that spirals into this giant fucking thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you watch, if you watch the video, right, on Jake Paul's channel where they're talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in that type of relationship, whatever Cenk wants, he gets. And I feel like she told a white lie of what happened at the nightclub when Jake heard about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that she lied and then he fucking ran with it and exaggerated it to his own benefit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think she was at the club, I think she got injured, right? And they knew Banks was there, and because there was this ongoing hate against Team 10 and Clout Gang, right? I think she just went and told one of her friends at the table, like to brag, yeah, this guy ran into me, look, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard from FaZe Banks directly and another source that Warwick went through the footage. Alright, they went through, they followed her and they followed him that whole night and the two of them never met each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, I'm working on one with, uh, NetNobody. We went there last night, but the fucking mic didn't work. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing a remix on the famous I Found a Dollar in the Woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always, like, that was part of the gimmick, like, back in the day. Like, I used to play this character called Sparkles, the gay rapper. So I would just- Character. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would basically freestyle within the game and like sexually harass all the straight guys and make them fucking get out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really weird. Uhm, but yeaah. And then I used to do another thing on the stream where I would do a community freestyle where like just people type random shit in the chat and did that. So part of me always wanted to do music because like when I was in high school and shit, like I was in chorus and fucking all that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I just felt like I, you know, I'm too old, but now it's just like anybody can, anybody-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw, I saw a video of you on stage with a mic and I, maybe you were rapping? Were you rapping?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I think we covered it all. I just, I remember last time you asked me when I was in LA, you know, if you want to do the podcast, I'm like, man, I don't want to come on right after scares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, you know what, I would advise if you, uh, to watch both because you're going to see something very, very different, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like he does that just to stretch out his videos to get to the 10 minute mark. Cause it's like, dude, we're still talking about the same fucking thing. Move on. For me, I, uh, I knew there was a lot more money in stretching out your videos, but for me, it's more important to just keep the audience entertained. I don't want them to get bored at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna start doing it. I'm gonna start doing it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like everybody's kind of, you know, taking that ride, and I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, that's gonna happen on Drama Alert. We're gonna find out what percentage will Vicky is black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the best jokes are the- are the story jokes. If they're long and it's a story, it's something that- it's a good joke, but if it's just a punchline like that, it's always gonna be lame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think I do it and, and without calling myself a comedian, you know? I feel like I kind of do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would never do that because I personally don't think I'm funny. Like when I watch the stuff that people think I'm funny in, I don't find it funny. So I would never do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I find it kinda crazy that, you know, some people on YouTube call themselves comedians. And they just fucking put white shit on their face and roll around and show their gut and show their fat ass. You know, I don't understand how that's coming. I'm just kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking about H3H3, but whatever. Oh, shit. God, I forgot that that beef is still raging. Yeah, it's not really a beef. Like, he, he, he knows that the best way to resolve this is just to not say anything and just ignore me and just hope it goes away. But I know that, uhm, if you fuck with me at all, like, it's never gonna go away. I'm gonna think about it for, like, years from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, it's, it's, I wish we would have talked about this, but fuck it, we could do it now real quick. Uhm, you know, I feel like if you're a hardcore gamer, there's so much toxic shit in gaming where you're not a person anymore, you're just a fucking, uh, a name, a screen name, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're this anonymous person and you just spew the worst shit you can possibly think. I've done it so many times and I've heard so many other people do it. And when you get a part in that culture and you're like, you know, you become a product of your environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, something shitty happens in the game, dude screams out the worst thing you can fucking think of, and I think a lot of people haven't taken that into consideration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did a fan meetup in New York City, uhm, it was in March, it was for my birthday, and there were a bunch of black kids there that were doing the Alex meme, and they were doing it like it was hilarious, and I'm just like, it was really eye-opening to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have zero reason to think otherwise, Garrett. I think you're right there. I think there's a possibility of a settlement with a lot of conditions that possibly allows him to come back for December this year. But I think if you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even read through the lines, just look at what Roger Goodell said yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're just waiting on the announcement of a one year suspension, you know, barring a total change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Brett, I mean, I just think the Players Association signed off on this, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think a lot of kind of the waiting game from the outside and the mystery of this has been this is the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there's been a case go through this system that was collectively bargained two years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the players association signed off on a process where the last word goes to the commissioner, or his designee. So, they really signed up for this, and the one th-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing that struck me was that she found him guilty of these multiple counts and only suspended him for six games. And so I was zero bit surprised to see Roger Goodell come in and say, yeah, we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These four kind of things heavy enough. And again, we're all just waiting. So, you know, as it relates to the Browns this week and them flying about four hours from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacksonville, you'd like to know. And every day you would like to know as you go through practice where he's the first in every line in quarterback, the first in every huddle. Uh, we're getting close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think, I thought training camp has been as usual. I think the guys have enough on their plates. I think the coaches are doing a good job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a fair question, Garrett. I think that might be down the road. Uhm, but to me it all goes to part of this, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, who knew this was coming? Why has the NFL been leaking since June that they wanted this suspension?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're hiring the player needed to do the full research and it just looks like the Browns did. So I think it's a fair question. I think there's holes in this process, but unfortunately the players association signed off on this. And to me, the Browns have to know this before they were even beginning to be willing to give up what they gave up to go get this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Plan A is out the window in that scenario, and I think, as I've looked at it, and I've looked at it extensively, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo is the one that comes to mind, and I can support that. He's played in this offense, he's played in big games, he's not been asked to pull the team and carry the team, he's been asked to distribute the ball, throw off play action, make good decisions, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His resume in that regard is pretty good. Now why would the Browns be hesitant? Uh, Jimmy makes a lot of money. Jimmy has an extensive injury history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Side of this, you start as backups that have a little bit of starting experience, a little bit of pedigree. I mean, those teams need those guys because everybody needs a backup quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, realistic options are few and I think the Browns have always intended for Jacoby Brissette to be the week one quarterback. I think they've always intended to have Jacoby Brissette go and Josh Dobbs to maybe be the backup, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, assuming the announcement is what we all think it is and it comes soon, uh, I think they owe it to the locker room to go after Jim and Rob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think they have to do it, guys. I mean, I really think we've seen over the last few days at camp some growth from the backup quarterback, some progress in terms of completing passes and it looking that way. But when you look at Jacoby Brissett's career, I mean, to think that he over the course of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even 7 or 8 games, let alone 17, is going to get this offense to where it needs to be. And why was this trade made? Because the quarterback position didn't deliver the way it needed to, right? Why were the Browns in this market to start with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had a great running game last year. I think the offensive line certainly wasn't as good last year as it was in 20, but they've invested in that position. They're bringing back, they feel like the best defense they've had in decades. So the table is set, but to realistically think that Jacoby...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where if the Browns are whole, they can say they're a real AFC contender. But without Deshaun Watson's and me, they're not even an AFC North contender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, without knowing exactly how it goes, Garrett, I think it's favorable for the Browns. I think the Niners know they need to get rid of him by a certain day or they're on the hook for that salary. I think the Niners have very publicly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Acknowledged that they like Jimmy, they're moving on to Trey Lance. They're allowing Jimmy to do his work in their facility and around their team, just not with the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're willing to do this. It's only going to cost a third day pick. Now it will cost $24 million. There is some thought that either the Niners will pick up a small part of that or that Garoppolo will be playing for a reduced salary. Uh, for the Browns, they could roll that forward into a potential comp pick. If Jimmy has a good year and goes and starts and signs a starter's level deal somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the other thing too guys, the Browns need all this rollover they've created because they're up against it for the cap next year because Watson's cap number is supposed to go from 10 million to 55 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if he does the contract tolls and the cap number is only 10 next year, then all of a sudden they found that money and they can easily afford Jimmy Garoppolo. I really don't think it would take more than a fifth round pick. So maybe it's a fifth and a player. Maybe there's some other swaps there, but the Niners want to do this deal. And I've always thought all along, even though it's not plan A for the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought we might, where they're the only real suitor and it becomes a little like the Carolina, uh, Baker Mayfield Brown's thing where the teams just get down to the details and say, let's get this done, uh, as efficiently as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great question. I was not a Baker Mayfield fan. Uhm, I appreciate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the front office saying we're here to win a Super Bowl and we're not going to do it with this guy. I think it was deeper than that, but uhm, I think they had other avenues. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they did right, and I know when they got on that plane to Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that, but I truly don't think that the front office has many regrets. I can't say none. We don't know how this is going to work out at least as it pertains to Baker Mayfield. And I think as they went from talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About this behind the scenes to get sign off and position themselves to maybe do this. I think along the way they were always comfortable with moving on from Baker despite having guaranteed his contract for this coming season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you're crazy, Garrett, and I think you can totally sell me on there's no panic and there was some sort of resignation or belief that this may happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we've been reporting for months that they didn't think it was going to be a year long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, not, not fully, but the belief was that he would get a suspension, that it would be resolved before training camp and the suspension would go into October or at the latest November and Deshaun Watts would be the quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, that is what, I believe that's what we at The Athletic have believed, uhm, for many months. And, like, I don't think it's a complete disaster if he misses the year. I don't think it prevents the Browns from being an AFC contender a year from now, two years from now, five years from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, you're talking about this team, this window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The optics, making this guy the face of your franchise, taking on all of this when you should just be getting ready for a season that you've waited for, that you've worked for, that you've earned with your good decisions by developing these players. So I can't sit here and say it's another disaster and the Browns are in flames and they'll never recover from this. Right? But to give away this season, and it may not go that way, but it probably, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see. Uh, the David Bell would immediately play a role underneath moving the chains. They liked David Bell. They didn't want David Bell to miss two weeks training camp because he is a rookie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But part of the reason they picked him is they thought he was savvier than most rookies. They think he can be a Jarvis Landry type player. I'm not making that comparison to Jarvis who blocked and who led and who did all these things, but a guy who can get open underneath and be productive for you right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's way on the list of concerns. And if you want to say it's at the top right now on August 10th, uh, I wouldn't argue with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sarah J. Moss, read by yours truly, Rewata, with the exclamation point, or the added emphasis.

[Assistant] Y'all, we have come such a long way through this book so far, I realized. Without even, you know, we're almost 200 pages in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say by the, you know, by the next chapter we'll be 200 pages in or even by the end of this chapter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got about 700 pages in this book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're well, we're well underway to getting close, you know, we're getting close to that halfway point. From the last time, if I recall, you know, Feyre.

[Assistant] And would retain the right to decide not to assist in war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And have they refused? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with this war upon us, we would need every ally we could muster, every army. We leave in two days, Ry said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll say no, more countered. Don't waste your time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I shall have to find a way to convince him otherwise. Moor's eyes flashed. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Azrael and Cassian shifted in their seats and Amron clicked their tongue at Ryze. Disapproval. He fought in the war, Ryze said calmly. Perhaps we'll be lucky this time, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I glanced at Cassian. The general shook his head subtly. Stay out of this one. For now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have sworn hurt flickered in Azrael's eyes, but he only shrugged, his face again a mask of cold indifference. Moore's lips pursed. You don't need to come, Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raya said with that calm, even voice, Of course I'm coming. It'll make it worse if I'm not there. She drained her wine in one swift tilt of her head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suppose I have two days now to find a dress suitable to horrify my father. Amarin at least chuckled at that. Cassian rumbling a laugh as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Rise watched more for a long minute, some of the stars in his eyes winking out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the silence that fell, I scrambled for any scrap of normalcy and turned to Cassian again. Let's train at eight tomorrow. I'll meet you in the ring. Seven thirty, he said with a disarming grin. One that most of his enemies would likely run from. Lucian went back to picking out his food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More refilled her wine glass. Azrael monitoring every move she made. His fork clenched in his scarred hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eight. I countered with a flat hook. I turned to Nesta, silent and watchful through all of this. Care to join? No. The beat of silence was too pointed to be dismissed, but I gave my sister a casual shrug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reaching for the wine jug, then I said to none of them in particular, I want to learn how to fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More spewder wine across the table, splattering it right across Azrael's chest and neck. The shadow singer was too busy gawking at me to even notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cassian looked torn between howling and Azrael and gaping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My magic was still too weak to grow these Illyrian wings, but I gestured to the Illyrians and said, I want you to teach me. More blurted, really? While Lucian, Lucian said, well, that explains the wings. Nesta leaned forward to appraise me, wet wings. I can shape shift. I admitted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with the uncoming conflict, I declare to all of them, knowing how to fly might be useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I jerked my chin toward Cassian, who now studied me with unnerving intensity, sizing me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I assume the battles against Hibern will include Illyrians. A shallow nod from the General. Then I plan to fight with you, in the skies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I waited for the objections, for Rise to shut it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was only the howling wind outside the dining room windows. Cassian whooshed out of breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it's technically even possible, time-wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have to learn not only how to fly, but how to bear the weight of your shield and weapons, and how to work with an Illyrian unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes us decades to master the last part alone. We have months at best, weeks at worst. My chest sank a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we'll teach her what we know until then, Bryce said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the stars in his eyes turned stone cold as he added, I'll give her any shot at an advantage, at getting away if things go to shit. Even a day of training might make a difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ezreal tucked in his wings, his beautiful features, uncharacteristically soft, contemplative. I'll teach you. Are you certain? I asked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Ryze 2 remembered what had been done to his friend, he'd never forgotten. None of them had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an effort not to look at the brutal scars coating Azrael's hands. I pray Nesta wouldn't inquire about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've taught plenty of younglings the basics. Yes, you encountered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Azrael shook his head, shadows twining around his wrists. His wrists, excuse me, haha. It's not the same. When you're older, ears, the mental blocks, it's different. None of them, not even Amran, said anything. Azrael only said to me, I'll teach you. Train with Cass for a few hours, and I'll meet you when you're through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He added to Lucian, who did not balk from those writhing shadows. After lunch, we'll meet. I swallowed but nodded. Thank you. Perhaps Azrael's kindness snapped some sort of tether in me, but I turned to Nesta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you go to the Court of Nightmares, we will go with you. I whipped my head to Amron. What? The thought of Nesta in that place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Hewn City is a trove of objects of power, Hammerin explained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want his Killing Blow Girl, it's all yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nesta's gaze drifted toward the open interior doors of the dining room, as if she could see all the way to Elaine. What happened to the human queens? I blinked. What do you mean? Were they made immortal? This question went to Azrael. Azrael's siphon smoldered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reports have been murky and inconsistent. Some say yes, others say no. And that's the examiner wine glass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cassie embraced his forums on the table. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nessa's eyes shot right to his face. She spoke quietly to me, to all of us, even as she held Cassian's gaze as if he were the only one in the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the end of this war, I want them dead. The king, the queens, all of them. Promise me you'll kill them all and I'll help you patch up the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll train with her. A jerk of her chin to Amarin. I'll go to the Huen city or whatever it is. I'll do it. But only if you promise me that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fine, I said. Oh, we might need your assistance during the meeting with the High Lords to provide testimony to other courts and allies of what Highburn is capable of, what was done to you. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't mind fixing the wall or going to the Court of Nightmares, but speaking to people is where you draw your line? Nesta's mouth tightened. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi lady or sister. Sister or hi lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People's lives might depend on your account of it. The success of this meeting with the High Lords might depend upon it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have no idea what it was or was not. None. And I'm going to grovel like one of those children of the blessed, begging high fe who would have like gladly killed me as a mortal to help us. I'm not going to tell them that story. My story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The high lords might not believe our account, which makes you a valuable witness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nesta shoved her chair back, chucking her napkin on her plate, gravy soaking through the fine linen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's not my problem if you are unreliable. I'll help you with the wall. But I'm not going to whore my story around to everyone on your behalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She shot to her feet, color rising to her ordinarily pale face and hissed. And if you even dare suggest to Elaine that she do such a thing, I'll rip out your throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her eyes lifted from mine, to sweep over everyone, extending the threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of us spoke as she left the dining room and slammed the door shut behind her. I slumped in my chair, resting my head against the back. Something thumped in front of me. A bottle of wine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fine if you drink directly from it. It was all more said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say Nesta rivals Amrin for sheer bloodthirstiness. Rise mused hours later as he and I walked alone through the streets of Valaris. The only difference is that Amrin actually drinks it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I snorted, shaking my head as we turned onto the broad street beside the Sidra and meandered along the Starflecht River.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many scars still marred the lovely buildings of Valaris. Streets gouged from fallen debris and claws. Most of it had been repaired, but some storefronts had been left boarded up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some homes along the river, no more than mounds of rubble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd flown down from the house as soon as we'd finished dinner. Well, the wine, I supposed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More taking another bottle with her when she disappeared into the house. Asriel frowning after her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise and I hadn't invited anyone else with us. He'd only asked me through the bond, Walk with me? And I'd merely given him a subtle nod. And here we were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd walk for over an hour now, mostly quiet, mostly thinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the words and information and threats shared today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither of us slowed our steps until we reached that little restaurant where we had all dined under the stars one night. Something tight in my chest eased as it beheld the untouched building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The potted citrus plants, sighing in the river breeze. And on that breeze, there's delectable, rich spices, garlicky meat, simmering tomatoes. I lean my back against the rail along the river walkway, watching the restaurant workers serve the packed tables. Who knows? I murmured, answering him at least. Perhaps Nesta will take up the blood drinking habit too. I certainly believe her threat to rip out my throat. Maybe she'll enjoy the taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rice chuckled, the sound rumbling into my bones as he took up a spot beside me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His elbow is braced on the rail, wings tucked in tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I breathed in deeply, taking the citrus and sea scent of him into my lungs, my blood. His mouth grazed my neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will you hate me if I say that Nesta is difficult? I laughed softly. I'd say this went fairly well, all things considered. Sure agreed to one thing at least. I chewed on my lower lip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shouldn't have asked her in public. I made a mistake. He remained silent, listening. With the others, I asked, how do you find that balance between high lord and family? Pryus considered, it isn't easy. I've made plenty of bad calls over the centuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I hate to tell you that tonight might be the only be the start of it. I loosed a long sigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should have considered that telling strangers what happened to her in Highburn might, might not be something she was very comfortable with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sister's been a private person her entire life, even amongst us. Ryze leaned in to kiss my neck again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earlier today, at the loft, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The water meandered past, its dark surface rippling with golden phthalites from the street lamps and the bright jewels of the rainbow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, that was why it was strange between us this afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He cringed and faced me fully. Mother above, Vyra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My cheeks heated and I interrupted before he could continue. I get why though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A solid, unified front is important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I scratched at the smooth wood of the rail with a finger. Especially for us. Not amongst our family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Warmth spread through me at the words, our family. He took my hand, interleasing our fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can make whatever rules we want. You have every right to question me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Push me, both in private and in public. A snort. Of course, if you decide to truly kick my ass, I might request that it's done behind closed doors so I don't have to suffer centuries of teasing. But, I won't undermine you in public, and you won't undermine me. You remain quiet, letting me think, speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can question each other through the bond if we're around people other than our friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for now, for these initial years, I'd like to show the world a unified front. That is, if we survive. We'll survive, uncompromising, will in those words, a face. But I want you to feel comfortable pushing me, calling me out. What have I ever not done that? He smiled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I added, I want you to do the same for me. Deal. But amongst our family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Call me on my bullshit all you want. I insist actually. Why? Because it's fun. I nudged him with an elbow. Because you're my equal, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as much as that means having each other's backs in public, it also means that we grant each other the gift of honesty, of truth. I surveyed the bustling city around us. Can I give you a bit of truth then? He stilled, but said, always. I blew out of breath. I think you should be careful working with Keir, not for how despicable he is, but because I think you could truly wound more if you don't play it right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raya's dragged a hand through his hair. I know. I know. Is it worth it? Whatever troops he can offer? If it means hurting her?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been working with Cure for centuries. She should be used to it by now. And yes, his troops are worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Darkbringers are well-trained, powerful, and have been idle for too long. I considered, the last time we went to the Court of Nightmares, I played your horror. He winced at the word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I am now your high lady, I went on, stroking a finger over the back of his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tracked the movement. My voice dropped lower. To get here to agree to aid us. Any tips on what mask I should wear to the Hewn City?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is for you to decide, he said, still watching my finger trace idle circles on his skin. You've seen how I am there. We are. It is for you to decide how to play into that. I suppose I'd better decide soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just for us, but the meeting with the other High Lords in two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rice slid a sidelong glance at me. Every court is invited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I doubt he'll come, given that he is Hibern's ally and knows we'd kill him. The river breeze stirred his blue-black hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The meeting will occur with a binding spell that forces us all into a ceasefire. If someone breaks it while the meeting occurs, then magic will demand a steep cost. Probably their life. Zamlin wouldn't be stupid enough to attack, nor us him. Why invite him at all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excluding him will only give him more ammunition against us. Believe me, I have little desire to see him, or Baron, who perhaps is higher on my kill list than Tamlin right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tarkin will be there, and we are pretty high on his kill list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even with the blood rubies, he wouldn't be stupid enough to attack during the meeting. Rise side through his nose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many allies can we count on? Beyond Keir and the Hewn City, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I glanced down the river walkway. The diners and revelers were too busy enjoying themselves to even note our presence, even with Ryza's recognizable wings. Still, perhaps not the best place for this conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure, Ryze admitted. Deuleon and his Day Court, probably. Calteleus, maybe. Things have been strained with the Winter Court since Under the Mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I assume Azrael's going to be finding out more. He's already on the hunt. I nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amaryn claims she and Nesta needed help researching ways to repair the wall. I gestured to the city, when we toured the best library to find that sort of thing. Raya's brows lifted. Right now? Your work ethic puts mine to shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hissed. Tomorrow, smartass. He chuckled, wings flaring and tucking into the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wings. Wings he'd allow Lucian to see. You trust Lucian?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise angle just had a, not, the not quite question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I trust in the fact that we currently have possession of the one thing he wants above all else. And as long as that remains, he'll try to stay on our good side. But if that changes...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His talent was wasted in the spring court. There was a reason he had the fox mask, you know. His mouth tugged to the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he got a lane away, back to the spring court, or wherever, do you believe deep down that he wouldn't sell what he knows, either for gain or to ensure she stays safe? You let him hear everything tonight though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of it is information that would let Highburn wreck us. The King likely already knows that we'll go for Cure's alliance. That we'll try to find a way to stop him from bringing down the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't subtle with Dagden and Brannags searching, and it'll expect us to try to band with the Hylords together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See what Lucian does over the next two weeks. How he acts, with us, in a lane. What Azrael thinks of him. I frowned. He's not a bad person. He's not evil. He certainly isn't. I just... I met his calm, steady stare. There is risk in trusting him without question. Did he discuss what he feels regarding Tamlin? No. I didn't want to push on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was remorseful about what happened with me and Highburn and Elaine. Would he have felt that way without Elaine in the mix? I don't know. Maybe. I don't think he would have left though. Ryze brushed the hair from my face. It's all part of the game, Fyra darling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who to trust, when to trust them, what information to barter. Do you enjoy it? Sometimes. Right now, I don't. Not when the risks are this high. His fingers graze my brow, when I have so much to lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I laid my palm on his chest, right over those Illyrian tattoos beneath his clothes, right over his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both a sturdy bee echoing into my skin and bones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot the city around us as he met my eyes, lips hovering over my skin and murmured, We will keep planning for the future, war or no war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will keep planning for our future. My throat burned and I nodded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We deserve to be happy, he said, his eyes sparkling enough to tell me that he recalled the words I'd given him on the townhouse roof after the attack, and I will fight with everything I have to ensure it. We will fight, I said hoarsely. Not just you. Not anymore. Too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had given too much already and still seemed to think it was not enough. But Ryze only peered over his broad shoulder to the cheerful restaurant behind us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you were indeed awake. Alive. Again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was so relieved that I thought I'd puke right on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I recall the long strange look he'd given me when I'd finally spoken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the long walk we'd taken home when we'd heard that music he'd sent to my cell under the mountain. I pushed off the rail and tugged him toward the bridge that spanned the sidra. The bridge to take us home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let the debate over who'd give the most in this war rest for now. Walk with me. Through the rainbow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His eyes flickered as I smiled up at him. I will fight with everything I have to, Rise. Everything. He only kissed the top of my head, hugging me closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we cross the Sidra under the starry sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that my friends was the end chapter 18. And yes, indeed we are right at the cusp of 200 pages. We're basically about a third of the way through this book already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one is definitely like a lore fill for sure. Very uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels very standstill-ish for the past few chapters of just getting information together, getting people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, bleh, in the pacing right now. I think it's necessary that we can get that lore building, that world building, and even not, not just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tertiary perspective of what's going on right now, but I think Sarah's doing like trying to do some work on like, hey, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta make sure that I have like, a legitimate plan coming through, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until, until I like dive into it a little bit more on my own time, then you can start thinking about, oh well she should have thought of this, well she should have thought of that, right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all still kind of muddling in my head how that plan is supposed to work and what other plans could they have taken along the way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, stay beautiful, stay hydrated, and we'll see you in the next chapter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were so shocked. We flew over the area in a small plane and using GPS tracked every whale we spotted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought, I've seen a hundred now, and then even three hundred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know from the U.S. Northeastern Atlantic that only 5 to 10 percent of the grey whales that die in shallow water get washed up onto the beaches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] General Fernando Matei, Head of the Army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two of us were called the Germans. The other members of the junta


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't live half in your own house and half in your neighbor's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was necessary, essential even, that we create a route on the Chilean side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say you have 250 million. You can throw it out the window and it'll come back in through the door. You can't destroy it. You can buy cars and they go up in value. You buy houses and real estate is worth more. You buy gold and the gold prices go up. You can't destroy money by consuming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have a driver because I'm lazier. I think I'm too good for that. On the contrary, I like driving. I'm a passionate motorist. But the question is, what does my company pay me for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nearly four thousand apartments and another three thousand are under construction. We've played a big role in housing construction here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's only been in the job for a few months, so she's still fresh. But she also has the constitution for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can the guard live on what he earns from me? That's what counts. If he can, then I have done my job as an employer. If I pay a guard so little that he can't live off his salary, then I've done something wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course it's nonsense. I've stayed home from work due to sickness three times in 30 years. Ask my guard how many times he's been out sick. If I have a slipped disc, I come to work. If I have a 40 degree fever, I come to work. If my wife quarrels with me and keeps me up all night, I still come to work. Ask my security guard. Comparing us isn't fair or correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course not, but he does not want that. I know my security guards, I know my caretakers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, every other stone has been replaced here with expertise, with a sense of proportion to create an entirety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it helps if you have worked on scaffolding like this yourself. I can do masonry, I can lay concrete, I can lay steel, I can plaster walls, lay tiles, put up facades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my career. The company started out as Christoph Gröne Bauhilfsdienste, building services. Then we took on specialized construction, then contractor work and project development until we became the company that we are today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he get another bargain? We keep getting repeat offenders here. They buy one house after another. This is the third, right? It's his second. His second complete one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as it's well made, has great light, she'd love to live there, instead of in 60 square meters over there for 8 euros a square meter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would look a bit odd when you drive around towing a dead deer in a trailer. People sometimes find that a little strange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was the publisher of Die Zeit, Countess Dönhoff, who once said, you always have to own everything you love. I can comprehend the question philosophically, but if I answer according to my natural instincts, I'd say yes, I like owning things that I find beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, by and large I do. I don't sense any real feeling of injustice on the part of most people on the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps you should add that this is one of the few old Frankfurt patrician houses that survived the second world war intact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just look at it, this old terrazzo floor, or this handle, this banister, you don't often find them in Frankfurt today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to imagine a family office as just that, an office that takes care of the interests and all the financial needs of a single family, or an individual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We work together to create an asset structure, one for the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might put 10% into pensions and keep 10% in cash. The rest is invested in other things, private equity, forestry and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frankly, nothing, because no one ever asks me that. I think it's pretty cheeky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's amazing to be able to stand among you. You are my motivation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man möchte gerne Dinge, die man als schön empfindet, besitzen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, on my last cards to review, which was a pile up you guys, voted for me to review Harvey first, and so of course, that's what I'm gonna do. And I don't think I'll have a poll on this video just because, you know, I don't know who I wanna review next, and I kinda wanna make that decision myself. So sorry about that, but whenever there is an opportunity,

[Assistant] 99 plus tax. So a pretty good deal. That's pretty much $4 per car, which is not bad at all because that's pretty much the going rate for them. You might find them a little cheaper at Walmart or Target, but still not too bad. And you get this exclusive really awesome car.

[Assistant] I believe it's also available on Mattel.com for the same price, but those are the only two places that have it originally and then you have third party sellers on eBay as well. Alright, so let's just take a look here at the box.

[Assistant] You have, woah, it got super bright there. 10 diecast vehicles inside. Excuse me, I'm sorry about that. My voice is still not normal. I got sick again and so it's a little shaky I guess. Cars 3 logo there as usual with the red and black design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Choking Hazard just in case for some small parts that might come off. Cars 3 logo again, Mattel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very thin by the way, like super thin and long, I like it. Cars three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just have all the legal jargon that we really don't care about, the barcode, consumer information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Content 11 vehicles, so I'm pretty sure that means that Luigi and Guido are in this set, and therefore they count as two according to the bottom, but only count


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As one according to this because 10 is a nice solid number. So I just grabbed a pair of scissors, a pink handled pair of scissors. So just for you guys I like my color pink. And since tape is the only thing really holding this pack together, I'm not going to do a time lapse because even like once I get into it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plastic casing is very, like, loose and you can just pop the cars right on out. So we're just going to do that and voila, nice kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The description reads, the race for the pissing cup continues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blindsided by a new generation of piss and cut racers, Lightning McQueen finds himself suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves to get back on top. He will need the help of a young race technician, inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and guidance from a few old friends along the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, that's pretty nice that comes out. But there are two other ones, one's a 10 pack that includes a bunch of re-releases and an exclusive RPM Bruce Miller, who I already reviewed. Link for him will be in the description below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Townies or demolition derby contenders. Second thing that I wanted to say was that this guy's name was hinted to be, or I don't know what happened exactly, but on the car back of some cars over the summer, it said that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The N20 Cola stock car was called Harvey Rodcap, but on the like package, if you bought him, it would say on the name tag Parker Braxton, I believe, right? That's his name. And so it was just kind of weird because there were two names floating around for him, but now thankfully everything's been cleared up and it just seems like Harvey Rodcap


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, looking at these pictures of Harvey from the movie, and I do believe that he first started racing at the Motor Speedway of the South. That's when they introduced like 6 next-gens in addition to Jackson Storm or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nonetheless, this diecast still looks really cool, and as for his releases, so far he's exclusive to this 10 pack, which probably means that he will never be pre-released, unfortunately. But then again, he might be, we really have no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, here's the same model as Tim Treadless, but one thing that I like about this is that they changed up the spoiler and the expression. It looks like their frowns are the same, which is fine. They just kinda have frowns on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim definitely looks a lot, oh my god, he looks like he wants to just kill someone. So we're going to remove him now, I'm just kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tim has kind of more of a rectangle, like a shorter one here, and then Harvey's is more like spread out and wide and kind of comes up to like a wing almost, whereas Tim's is just a little bit more squared off if you guys know what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But other than that, they are pretty much the same. It does actually look like their back windows are slightly different though. Looks like Harvey's is slightly bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But other than that, their models are identical in terms of shape and everything like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is fine, I mean it makes sense that some of the next gens and stock cars are going to be the same model. I'm completely cool with that. Similar to Danny Swerves and Ed Trunkin. Similar models, but they have different spoilers and expressions, so if they keep doing this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we'll be just fine as long as we don't get too many expression repeats like we did with all the cars, one stock cars. But, he's pretty much characterized by this, like, big,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spot of gunmetal grey paint, which looks really cool. It sounds like metallic, but it does really reflect the light well, and it looks just really awesome. On the hood, a nice simple design that says Easy Idol, and he has like two, I don't know, triangles or slivers of blue there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he has white also here that cover the headlights. There's a nice grill.
