[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squeak. That could be an animal, like a mouse, if they do squeak. I've never heard a mouse squeak and don't really want to because I can't bear mice. Ugh, horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But things can squeak as well, like a door.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you ever get the chance to try Rice Krispies, put them in a bowl, pour some milk on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put your ear down to it like they do in the television adverts, and you'll hear snap, crackle, pop.

[Assistant] Firstly, researchers believe that just like humans even birds are not able to see transparent glass. Humans can anticipate the presence of transparent glass based on some visual clues like frames or knobs. But birds lack the ability to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, it is believed that collisions occur more frequently during breeding season. As birds, after seeing their own reflection in the window, misjudge it for a different bird and attack it. Lastly, it is also believed that birds perceive the reflected images in the glass to be real objects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hence, collisions occur more often when glasses reflect images of food or shelter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they should be eating more cookies. Oh, um, son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A research conducted over 40 years by collecting more than 70,000 samples of 52 North American migratory birds. Clearly shows that birds are definitely decreasing in size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lower leg of the bird is commonly used as a measure of its body size. It was found that its length reduced by more than 2% during this period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Researchers believe that this decrease in body size is related to increase in global temperature. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a smaller body size allows the birds to cool off more quickly as in lose body heat faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was also observed that during the same period wingspans of birds increased by more than 1%. Researchers believe that migratory birds compensate for smaller body sizes by increasing their wingspans. This makes them better equipped to survive their long migratory journeys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't birds get electrocuted on power cables? Because they wear shockproof shoes. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Electricity is the flow of electrons through conductors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It always takes the easiest route. That is, electricity always flows through a path of least resistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the power cables through which electricity flows are made of copper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Copper offers the least resistance and is a very good conductor of electricity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides this, electricity flows from its highest potential to its lowest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the power cables usually run at different potentials. If birds feed are on the same power cable, then they are at same potential. Thus, the bird doesn't get electrocuted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, when the bird touches two cables with different potentials at the same time. Then electricity will flow through the bird to go to the other cable with lower potential. And the bird will get electrocuted. Why do birds fly in V formation? Cause V is for victory. Oh dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flocks of birds like geese and pelicans flying V formations to make flight easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the formations, when a bird flaps its wings, the air behind the bird gets pushed downward, creating a down wash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While the air towards its sides gets pushed upward, creating an upwash. This produces rotating vortices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thus, birds are able to fly long distances without putting much effort and maintaining a clear line of sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides this, since the bird in the lead faces greater air resistance, the birds keep changing their positions in the V and take turns as leaders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This maximizes the use of each bird's energy, allowing flocks to fly without having to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firstly, it is not the poop that is white. A green or brown part present in the center of the white portion is the actual poop of birds. Confused?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Kinesian humans extract nitrogenous waste like urea from blood and release it in the form of liquid urine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, the kidneys of birds don't produce urine. Instead, they excrete the nitrogenous waste as uric acid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This acid is the white portion. Besides this, humans have two exit points. One to remove urine produced by kidneys. And the other to remove poop produced by intestines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what the top brass want. They say our force must turn its attention solely towards celestial being. We'll let the regular forces look for the lieutenant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to look at the ways that you use them, because they're a bit similar. They're both to do with your hearing and listening when you're using your ears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's a little confusing sometimes for people to know when to use listen and when to use hear. So, I've got a few examples here to try to show what context they can be used in. Okay. So, let's have a look first at listen, which is quite an active


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listening to a piece of music, really thinking about it as you're listening. So it's quite active. So listening to something, you're using the preposition with it. Listening to the radio, listening to a CD, listening to. Somebody might say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a friend, oh, you never listen to me. I'm telling you something, but you're not listening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're thinking about something else. You never listen to me. So, to, again, there. You don't concentrate on what I'm saying. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's another way of using listen. You can listen out for something. That's a different preposition. If you're in an office and your colleague needs to go out and they're expecting a phone call, they might say to you, will you listen out for the phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared with that, to hear, it's a little bit more passive. You sort of receive the sound waves into your ears, whether you decide to or not. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone might say, did you hear that strange noise just then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You weren't listening for a noise, but you heard a noise. It sort of came in through your ear and to your brain, and your brain recognized, ooh, what was that noise? So did you hear that strange noise? Okay? And another one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a friend wants to tell you about something and you don't really... You're not interested, really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you heard, so this is the past tense, have you heard from your sister recently? So, to hear from someone, another preposition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, is to receive maybe a phone call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not expecting it, maybe. The phone rings, you answer it. Ah, it's your sister. You've heard from your sister. Okay. So, uhm, I hope that helps to explain the difference between listen and hear. Listen, more active. Hear, more just receiving, passively. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if you'd like to test your understanding of this, please go to the website www.engvid.com and do the quiz. And if you found this lesson helpful, please subscribe to my channel on YouTube, and hope to see you again soon. Okay? Bye.

But today's gonna be all about books that make me look at motherhood and think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No thank you. It's obviously a very serious topic and I expect a comment section to act accordingly. Definitely leave me your own list because I want to now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As soon as I thought about this video, I knew Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton needed to be on this list because I remember growing up watching the movie, I'm still traumatized by this scene in the toilet, I feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is now a fear of mine. And I was actually really surprised when I went ahead and read the book. It's a little bit on dry side, Michael Crichton's writing is a little dry. But I thought it was fascinating how there's more sci-fi in it, elements in it than, uh, the movie. But it's still super accessible and very, very enjoyable. However...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two children in there. Oh my god, I was not prepared for them. I wanted to throw my phone, because I was reading the ebook from my library on my phone, uh, away. I just could not stand them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like realistically, uh, the people that were taking care of them, the adults around them were saints because I just don't have it in me. If you make noise when there's a T-Rex after us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will leave you behind to die. I just will. I might even trip you when we're running away. Because like, come on, that's common sense. Don't make a noise if you don't want to be eaten. And I don't want to be eaten, so if you are not going to be silent, I will just, you know, dispose of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care if you're a child, I will get rid of you. It sounds a little dramatic, but really, uh, their grandpa was way too chill about the whole situation, so I take it as maybe he knew something we didn't, and maybe they kinda deserve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't even say it without laughing, but you get it. Uh, could not send them whatsoever. I'm fully aware that Lexi, the little girl, was way more annoying, the little boy, which I think was called Tim. Uh, but I kind of resent that, so I decided to just group them together and hate them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both. Equally. Uh, I think I'm also presenting the trope of like, overly intelligent kid, I'm kinda getting flashbacks of Ender's games, so I decided both of them can just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yes, if you've read the book, you might feel similarly. I definitely feel like we kind of all agreed about Lexi. Realistically, am I really in danger of being eaten by T-Rex because the child next to me will not stop whining? Probably not, but is it really worth the risk?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, asking your own questions here. Second book I absolutely needed to talk about is It by Stephen King. I will mention some spoilers, slight spoilers. I will put it on the screen super obviously. You can just mute me for a couple seconds. Uh, but let's talk about it because Stephen King is a little too good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Describing certain situation, like really dark horrifying stuff. That's kind of why people like him but at the same time


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? And especially in this book, I feel like I'm a little traumatized by a few things. Uh, the bullying between children, horrifying but really well written. Uh, the sexual harassment and abuse and assaults from, uh, either the kids once again to each other or adults. Uhm, the fact that this is where we're going into the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forever. So grateful that he put that in there. But seriously, uh, no thanks. I went through childhood once, did it, meh. So don't really feel like reliving this through someone else by having a kid, so mmm. Also, real talk, if you are dumb enough to be kidnapped by a clown,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's on you. Maybe, let's just call it natural selection, you know? Like, how do you expect me to be responsible for you? Would I have to come and help you? Like, I can barely open my own jars. Like, how, how can you expect that from me? I just, I don't understand. It's just too much pressure for me. Like, you're on your own, buddy. I, I just can't deal with that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next we have Run by Blake Crouch. Disclaimer, person didn't really enjoy the ending of the book, so read it at your own risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, uh, this book is a really good example of how annoying kids are described in post-baccalaureate books. I feel like the authors are not giving them enough credit. They always are not as adaptable as I feel like they would be in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I am once again fully aware of that and put me in that situation. I will be annoying. I will be annoying. But it wasn't the case in the book. It wasn't me. It was them. I wanted to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, I feel like I barely have enough will to live as it is, like don't expect me to protect tiny humans at the same time, it's just, I know. So essentially I could not relate to any of the adults in this book, it just sounds exhausting to have to protect them, so I'm giving up before even starting. Next we have the whole trope of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mother has a kid, usually a daughter, and she is either evil or the mom is losing it. It's a really common trope in a lot of books and movies. I actually had read this one to Danide, which I thought I was losing my mind as much as the mother, so don't really recommend it. Although that might have been what the author meant to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just no. So you're telling me that not only am I expected to prevent them from killing themselves, which, have you met a toddler recently? This seems to be like their main hobby. Uh, but now I'm expected to also prevent them from hurting other people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a full-time job. Because I put myself in her shoes. Either the kid, there's really something wrong with it. Are you allowed to say it for children? I think I should say them. We'll blame it on the French. And then no one is believing you, which like I would resent my husband if he's trying to like tell me that I'm the one losing it and you're still not helping me. And you're leaving me with a sad child alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't, I don't want that possibility. I, I just want to avoid all of it. The next one is a little tongue in cheek, but I mean this whole video is very serious. So, uh, flowers in the attic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read this gem earlier this year, I spent my whole life not knowing anything about it, and I could have won the rest of my life not knowing anything about it, and yet here we are. Uh, if you haven't read this, just don't. Just don't do it. But imagine, you die,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But once again, this kind of book just makes me realize that as a parent, I would end up in jail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or dead, probably. Let's go back to me not being able to open jars. But like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. I don't think I would be able to actually leave my child around anyone, ever. And like, I'm aware that it's completely normal to feel that way if you're an adult parent, but like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would just go prematurely grey. I would die of a heart attack at 40. So I choose sleep and less stress and just, I'll just buy more cats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is it. I know one hell of a recommendation video. I hope you enjoy this. Once again, to be taken very seriously, I want to see your book recommendations in the comment section. I feel like someone's going to leave me like Lord of Lies, which I've, I've yet to read that book, but I feel like that's the perfect example of books that I want to see in the comment section.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For more diving straight in, because we've got a lot to get through in this video, recommendation number one is Theroux the Keyhole by Louis Theroux. Louis Theroux is beloved for his very dry sense of humour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To his 2006 big break, and this book takes it from there. It tells the story of his journey through fame. He's got a bunch of amazing career defining moments in there, and a lot of disasters that happened along the way. And of course being Michael McIntyre, this book is Laugh Out Loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some fiction, Anxious People by Frederick Backman makes a bit of a change from Frederick Backman's usual very heart wrenching style. This one is completely absurd. It's just as emotional, but it is very funny. So Anxious People tells the story of an accidental


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if that was wholesome humour, I've got some very dark humour here. Mother for Dinner by Shalom Auslander. This is described as a grotesque family comedy. It's about a family of cannibals. In this book, the last living family of cannibal Americans have a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their mother has just died and her final dying wish was for, in the tradition of their family, the children to eat her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even divided between all 12 children, that's a lot of meat. Plus it wouldn't really be divided between 12, because one of them's already dead, one of them keeps kosher, and one of them's a vegan. From that premise alone you can see what a ridiculous journey you're about to embark on by reading this book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't resist dark comedy, so I'm also going to recommend My Sister the Serial Killer by Aiyankhan Braithwaite. This is a thriller comedy about two sisters, one of whom keeps murdering her boyfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We Are Never Meeting in Real Life by Samantha Irby is a hilariously relatable essay collection that manages to capture a lot of powerful emotional truths, while also filling the book with anecdotes that will make you spit out your drink laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a very funny classic about a bank clerk called Charles Pooter, who really thinks a lot of himself, and mistakenly believes that a record of all of his Cummings and Goings, including with his good friends Mr Cummings and Mr Going, are worthy of permanent record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How to Win Feminism is a completely ridiculous book that I laughed until my face hurt at. This is created by the website Reductress, which is like a feminist version of The Onion, so that hopefully gives you an idea of how hilariously stupid this book is going to be.

[Assistant] So this one, the name is taken from a book I recommended in the last version of this video, which again I will link below. Three Men in a Boat to Say Nothing of the Dog by Jerome K Jerome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally, recommendation number 19 on this list is The Appeal by Janice Howitt. This is a murder mystery, it's a parody of the cosy crime genre. It's a very interesting book, it's mixed media, mostly told through emails and documents. Two law students are trying to work out what happened in a murder case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really nervous. I hope I do. The judge is proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what causes a heart attack? Like all muscles, the heart needs oxygen, and during a heart attack it can't get enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fatty deposits, or plaques, develop on the walls of our coronary arteries. Those are the vessels that supply oxygenated blood to the heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These plaques grow as we age, sometimes getting chunky, hardened, or inflamed. Eventually, the plaques can turn into blockages. If one of the plaques ruptures or cracks, a blood clot will form around it in minutes, and a partially closed artery can become completely blocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blood flow is cut off to the cardiac muscle, and the oxygen-starved cells start to die within several minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most common symptom is chest pain caused by the oxygen-deprived heart muscle. Patients describe it as crushing or vice-like. It can radiate to the left arm, jaw, back, or abdomen. But it's not always as sudden and dramatic as it is in the movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people experience nausea or shortness of breath. Symptoms may be less prominent in women and the elderly. For them, weakness and tiredness may be the main signal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And surprisingly, in many people, especially those with diabetes, which affects the nerves that carry pain, a heart attack may be silent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking aspirin, which thins the blood, and nitroglycerin, which opens up the artery, can help keep the heart attack from getting worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the emergency room, doctors can diagnose a heart attack. They commonly use an electrocardiogram to measure the heart's electrical activity and a blood test to assess heart muscle damage. The patient is then taken to a high-tech cardiac suite, where tests are done to locate the blockages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cardiologists can reopen the blocked artery by inflating it with a balloon in a procedure called an angioplasty. Frequently, they also insert a metal or polymer stent that will hold the artery open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More extensive blockages might require coronary artery bypass surgery. Using a piece of vein or artery from another part of the body, heart surgeons can reroute blood flow around the blockage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These procedures reestablish circulation to the cardiac muscle, restoring heart function.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Genetics and lifestyle factors both affect your risk, and the good news is that you can change your lifestyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exercise, a healthy diet and weight loss all lower the risk of heart attacks, whether you've had one before or not. Doctors recommend exercising a few times a week, doing both aerobic activity and strength training. A heart-healthy diet is low in sugar and saturated fats, which are both linked to heart disease. So what should you eat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lots of fiber from vegetables, chicken and fish instead of red meat, whole grains, and nuts like walnuts and almonds all seem to be beneficial. A good diet and exercise plan can also keep your weight in a healthy range, which will lower your heart attack risk as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, medications can also help prevent heart attacks. Doctors often prescribe low-dose aspirin, for example, particularly for patients who've already had a heart attack and for those known to be at high risk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heart attacks may be common, but they don't have to be inevitable. A healthy diet, avoiding tobacco use, staying fit, and enjoying plenty of sleep and lots of laughter all go a long way in making sure your body's most important muscle keeps on beating.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone, let's get going. To atone for our having changed the world, we need to redeem ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's bothering me too. It's because Setsuna insists on going there to check it out. Setsuna does?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the tale of two ancient cities and the trees that determined their destinies. In 3000 BC, Uruk was more densely populated than modern-day New York City. This crowded capital had to continually expand their irrigation system to feed its growing population.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2,500 years later, in Sri Lanka, the city of Anuradhapura had a similar problem. They were also growing constantly. And like Uruk, their city relied heavily on an elaborate irrigation system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As uruk grew, its farmers began chopping down trees to make space for more crops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Anuradhapura, however, trees were sacred. Their city housed an offshoot of the Bodhi tree, under which Buddha himself was said to have attained enlightenment. Religious reverence slowed farmers' axes and even led the city to plant additional trees in urban parks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Initially, Uruk's expansion worked well. But without trees to filter their water supply, Uruk's irrigation system became contaminated. Evaporating water left mineral deposits, which rendered the soil too salty for agriculture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conversely, Anuradhapura's irrigation system was designed to work in concert with the surrounding forest. Their city eventually grew to more than twice Uruk's population. And today, Anuradhapura still cares for a tree planted over 2,000 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We may think of nature as being unconnected to our urban spaces, but trees have always been an essential part of successful cities. Trees act like a natural sponge, absorbing stormwater runoff before releasing it back into the atmosphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The webs of their roots protect against mudslides while allowing soil to retain water and filter out toxins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roots help prevent floods while reducing the need for storm drains and water treatment plants. Their porous leaves purify the air by trapping carbon and other pollutants, making them essential in the fight against climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humanity has been uncovering these arboreal benefits for centuries. But trees aren't just crucial to the health of a city's infrastructure. They play a vital role in the health of its citizens as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the 1870s, Manhattan had few trees outside the island's parks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without trees to provide shade, buildings absorbed up to nine times more solar radiation during deadly summer heat waves. Combined with the period's poor sanitation standards, the oppressive heat made the city a breeding ground for bacteria like cholera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In modern-day Hong Kong, tall skyscrapers and underground infrastructure make it difficult for trees to grow. This contributes to the city's dangerously poor air quality, which can cause bronchitis and diminished lung function.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trees affect our mental health as well. Research indicates that the presence of green foliage increases attention spans and decreases stress levels. It's even been shown that hospital patients with views of brick walls recover more slowly than those with views of trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, many cities are full of views like this. And that's no accident. As early as the 18th century, city planners began to embrace the importance of urban trees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After World War II, Copenhagen directed all-new development along five arteries, each sandwiched between a park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This layout increased the city's resilience to pollution and natural disasters. And urban trees don't just benefit people. Portland's Forest Park preserves the region's natural biodiversity, making the city home to various local plants, 112 bird species, and 62 species of mammals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No city is more committed to trees than Singapore. Since 1967, Singapore's government has planted over 1.2 million trees, including those within 50-meter-tall vertical gardens called supertrees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These structures sustain themselves and nearby conservatories with solar energy and collected rainwater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trees and vegetation currently cover over 50% of Singapore's landmass, reducing the need for air conditioning and encouraging low-pollution transportation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By 2050, it's estimated that over 65% of the world will be living in cities. City planners can lay an eco-friendly foundation, but it's up to the people who live in these urban forests to make them homes for more than humans.

[Assistant] So today I'm gonna make strawberries, a pepper panna cotta, and then some pepper meringue shards as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm adding pepper as a major flavor in my panna colada today. The strawberries and cream and pepper go really well. The only thing that I'm concerned about is I've only got white pepper today and strawberries and pepper is usually with black pepper which tastes a little bit different to white pepper. Ahh, good. But I think I have to take a little bit of a risk. Ahh, I really hope today's the day I get to taste it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben, you're on a roll. So this is strawberry agardelle. I gotta pass the panna cotta setting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've only got white peppercorns, rather than black peppercorns. We've only got white, awww. Cause you want black. There's a bit of a difference in the flavour of the classic strawberries and uh, pepper. It's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today I'm making strawberries with a pepper panna cotta. The only thing is that I've only got white peps today and strawberries and peps are usually with black pepper. It's a bit of a difference in flavour of the classic strawberries and pepper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to think of how I can try and replicate the black pepper flavours with white pepper and what I've got in the box. Black pepper's a bit more floral and grassy so I look at the spearmint. I know that this dehydrates really well so I immediately start working on that. Beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost sure the elements are finished. Get my meringue out of the oven and I'm pretty happy with it. It's nice and crisp. Uh, it's just onto the panna cotta now to see if it's set or not. I'm kind of nervous unmolding it, but I know it's now or never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know George and Gary are concerned about the amount of fat I'll get out of that oyster blade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only need a really little amount just to coat those beans for the dish. So I've just gotta hope I can get enough fat out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got enough fat for my oyster blade, and now it's time to get my eye filler on the hibachi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really happy with how everything's going right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got the oyster plates out on the sugar snaps. I think it's added like a nice flavor there. Just really, you know, lots of barbecue flavors is what I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The steak's beautifully pink. It looks, you know, exactly how I'd want it to look. It's got a nice char on the outside and definitely has that barbecue flavour. I'm actually really hopeful that I've got a chance to go onto round two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel it's steak cooked rare, barbecued beetroot puree and sugar snaps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No sire, you be careful. Be on your guard. A plot is being hatched against your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Thumb is planning to lace your food with hemlock. I saw him picking the leaves in the garden the other day. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, your grace, I heard him say these very words. Now the king had once been kept in bed with very bad tummy pains after eating too many cherries. Oh, how awful of Tom. I really liked him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Russian. Russian.

[Assistant] What color are these yarn? What color are yarn? Books Books

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This coffin looks new compared to this dusty house. It's so strange to find it here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, haha, you were right. Let's quickly take out all his jewels. Wait, what are you doing? Who are you? My name is Jack. Why are you opening this poor man's coffin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are only here to take his jewels and get our money back. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what if he is not alive anymore? It's wrong to break his coffin. Here, these 25 gold coins are all I have. Take it and leave. But don't break his coffin. Let him rest in peace. This is too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where should I stand? This place is beautiful. I should come here often. Well, of course, Till. Uh, hello? Are you lost? It's not possible for me to be lost, because I am not going anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to travel this world and go wherever the wind takes me. Uh, that's great. I am traveling the world too. Would you like to join me? Uhm, like a traveling companion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love collecting things. Everything is useful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, looks like a bird's wings. Birds don't leave their wings behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see that? They flew on their own. Your bag is magical. Is it? I don't know. I never noticed. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is the girl I dreamt of back at the old house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have come here to ask for your- I know, I know. You must have come here to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage. Uh, y-yes sir. Wait here, my daughter must be coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to sleep now. I will think of something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful princess, you are thinking about this. How can this be? Because my love for you is pure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow is the last day, my friend. What do you think she will be thinking of? We will know that tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last two days, you were not thinking of anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were merely doing what was asked of you. But today, you are thinking of something, and I know what that is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it? What is it? Your majesty, your daughter is thinking of this missing goblin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you sir, I am a soldier of this palace. The evil monster was in love with the princess, but he could not have her. As I tried to save the princess, he cast a spell on us both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jack, you never asked me how I knew your name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it because you said it out loud in my house while saving me from those thieves. You gave them all your money, Jack, your 25 gold coins, only so that I could rest in peace. You have a very big heart, my friend, and now my work here is done. You found your princess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, we're gonna be cooking at the Noosa Surf Life Saving Club. I have been here so many times, so this is really exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know the steaks need a lot longer time in that oven to get to medium rare and then they need to rest through. These fillets are just too big to cook in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pretty stoked out, but pretty stoked with how it's all come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the rules, 60 minutes to bring us a dish using every one of those ingredients in your mystery box. And it's time to step it up a notch because from today onwards we're only tasting the three most appealing dishes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sitting out the invention test, avoiding the risk of the pressure test, and the elusive lure of the pin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you just completed the dreaded everything box. We had to use everything in that box, in your dish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immaculate. And the brussel sprouts slaw is an inspired touch, a really inspired touch. Totally delicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just drop just a little bit. You know, I love the slaw. I love the using the cannon of lamb. But this, that's it. But that's not only is it exciting and creative, it's also draw droppingly delicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simon, you know what that means. You head up to the gantry, you don't cook no more today, you get to cook for a pin, and you should be so proud because that is the best thing you've cooked so far in the competition. Well done. Simon, to the gantry. Yes! Well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For today's invention test, we want you to bring us a dish that features every part of an ingredient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can either use it whole and intact, or you can break it down and use the individual parts to make up your dish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So think whole grilled fish, ultimate roast chuck, or maybe you think about raking stuff down, serving it nose to tail or root to leaf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter which way you decide to go, you must use all that ingredient in your dish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Derek, what's the dish? Metta fish head curry. So this is one large fish, one medium sized bowl. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the flavour of cumin, you know, I mean, the calamari's got a bit of bite to it. It's not rubbery, but the rice, the rice is the uhm, it's the bindi in the foot. It's the thing you can't get past. Every step you take, you come back to that chalky rice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love your apple butterscotch with that little head of cider vinegar. It's delicious with the custard. But the thing you're supposed to be hearing, which was a whole something, ideally, and we're left with that. And that potentially is a bottom three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, it's not all good news. If I call your name, please step forward. Tomorrow you'll be cooking for your place in the competition. Nicole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you already know how to do it, that's great. If you don't, then this video is for you. So we're going to compare the i-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds. Now notice how I am shaping my mouth. The mouth shape is always important with pronunciation, especially when we have two sounds which are very similar. So the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You notice how I'm creating more of a smile. It's an unrounded sound, which means we create more of a smile when we create this sound. Eh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tongue goes kind of up, not touching the top, but it's near the top of the mouth. And what we do is we quickly let a sound out. It's a short vowel sound, so it's a quick


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now for example, think of words like it, with, sit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, smile slightly, tongue up, it's not rounded at all. And our mouth is almost closed really when we make this sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't be afraid to smile when it comes up in words, ee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, for example if we have a word like seat, feet, beach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now hopefully you have that sound right now. If you don't, rewind, try again, keep practicing until you get that shape correct, okay? Then once you've done that, you can start moving on to putting it in words. These sounds are really common.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first of all, we have the difference between the words sit and see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So keep repeating yourself. I want to sit in the seat. I want to sit in the seat. Get faster and faster. And if you're not seeing any improvement, slow down again. Start, go back to the sounds again. Okay? It takes time. Pronunciation. Let's try the words chip and cheap. Chip and cheap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we're going to do is we're going to use a very popular British phrase. When something isn't very expensive, when it doesn't cost much money, quite often we say, that was as cheap as chips. Cheap as chips. So just try that for me. Repeat after me. Cheap as chips. Cheap as chips. Cheap as chips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now these words can come together quite often in one sentence. For example, I could say, Can I eat it? Can I eat it? Can I eat it? Can I eat it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And think about intonation there as well. Think about how the intonation goes when we ask questions in English. It's a yes-no question. So we would go, can I eat it up? Okay. So we're learning some intonation here as well. I'm so good to you guys. How about we try a double one? Let's try


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two minimal pairs in one sentence. Now we know we're reaching the big time with this sound, so let's do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's just try another technique which is where you just repeat them over and over again. So what I would like you to do for some practice at home is practice these sentences but also practice just repeating these words one after another and see whether you make any improvement. So we've got cheek and chick. Cheek, chick, cheek, chick. Deep and dip. Deep, dip, deep, dip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I really hope this helped you. This sound, like I said, most of my students have a problem with this. And even people say, I don't have a problem with this sound. But then when they get in a Skype lesson with me, they realise, oh okay, yeah, I do have a problem with this sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much for watching, I hope you enjoyed the video and I will see you all very soon. Cheers guys, thank you, bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're such a real soldier. With your bag and your sword.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that I know this is not just a dream, I'll do what I can to keep her from their scheme. I'll draw a cross of chalk on their door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi guys! Can you guess the title of my next video?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, I know. Wavelength is the distance between two sea waves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just got a little shiver, I just got one of those little food shivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, I have to, I have to kind of wrench my eyes away from that dish. That looks beautiful. What is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is spectacular. That looks really, really beautiful. You were very emotional at the end of that. Why was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically perfect. I just loved it. It's gorgeous. George?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it get you excited? Let's start at this end, shall we? Chicken and corn. Strawberries and cream. Coriander and lime. Thyme and mushrooms. That's good already. Lamb and mint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Orange and chocolate, tomatoes and basil, steak and onions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, open pantry, garden's in play. So we're expecting great things. Phil is not to be underestimated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, that's nice. I like it. Two treatment of onions too by the look of it. Pickles and roasted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautifully pink. If this is Tessa's desk, she has stepped up. Next level presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a solid bit of cooking. That is really delicious. For something that looks so simple, the amount of flavour, particularly from that pumpkin puree and that lovely kind of char on the outside of the beef, is just really sound and delicious cooking. I need to, I need to go out and eat this properly. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sauce is a very aromatic, very clean, very smooth, very sophisticated like that. Perfectly cooked beef. And then lots of things that you just keep finding. Whether they're crisp shallots, whether they're a sweet and sour onion, or little pieces of crab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's happened before, but it's the first time I've had two dishes. Knowing Phil's food and the restaurant point there, we've all been there. And both those dishes can come out of that kitchen, do you not think? Absolutely. I mean, that's great cooking. Interesting scoring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can eat both of those dishes again and again and again, and to be honest, the three of us, this is what we live for. So thank you so much. Made our day, both of you. Billy, what was it like in the kitchen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what we like to hear. Okay Tessa, question is did you do it? Did you get that third pin? What did you cook?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tessa, tessa, tessa. My thought honestly, when our dishes hit the table, that that was Phil's. It was that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lesson 19. Tired and thirsty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you are a delightful man. Here is an advance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't have my sleep last night. My mind was just racing. Recipes, thoughts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm really excited for this. I know tier ranking has gone a little bit out of style, but I still think it's a really fun way to get a ton of different feelings about books out in a very quick manner. And all the authors on this list, some of them I've only read two books from or three books from, but for the most part I try to include


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Design, illustration, photography, marketing, directing, the list really does go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next tier is gonna say it was great slash I had fun because sometimes, even though a book's not an all time favorite, I can still admit that I had a great time, it was really fun to read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we have It Was Fine slash Not For Me. You know, pretty self-explanatory. Just because these people are my favorite thriller authors doesn't necessarily mean every single book that they write is gonna be for me. And then next is Disappointing slash Skip It. You know, and this means skip it as in I would recommend that you skip it because I don't think that it's worth your time and it was pretty disappointing for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then last is trash slash waste my time. Which means that this book, I felt like it wasted my time and I should have just thrown it in the trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So starting off with his and hers, this one is actually one of my favorites from this author. It's not my number one favorite, but it's definitely up there. And I would put it in, it was great slash had fun because this one was actually a really great audio book, which I usually don't recommend thrillers as audio books, but this one was fantastic. Um, next is I know who you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then sometimes I lie, I mean it's been so many years since I've read Sometimes I Lie that I honestly like don't remember it very strongly in my mind if I'm being honest, but I remember


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like this creepy chapel in the snow and like, it's like kind of spooky vibes and it's just everything that I love in a thriller. So yea, this has got to your- Alright, next author is Alex Michaelides. Michaelady? I don't know, I don't ever know if I'm saying his name right, but uhm, this is actually one of my favorite thriller authors to date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say the Silent Patient for me is god tier. Like the Silent Patient has one of my favorite plot twists that I've ever read in a book. Like it is just amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it wasn't quite on the same level as The Silent Patient for me, so I'm just gonna put it in. It was great. Alright, the next author is gonna be Caroline Kepnes, and I've actually read four of her books so far. I believe these are the only four that she has published so far. And her biggest, like, book series that she's known for is the You series. You know, you've probably seen it on Netflix. It's a really popular show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An all time favourite slash god tier because the first book in this series is freaking amazing. Joe Goldberg as a narrator is just the most fascinating character to read about and I think this first book is so well done and just so freaking good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I feel like it's a lot of repetition from like the first book, you know? I think she nailed it in the first book, like she did something amazing in the first book. And then I don't- I just don't know if it's still working in the rest of the series, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like this book was trying to be too many things and it just couldn't handle all the different topics. And it features a character named Eggs. And like for that reason alone, I feel like this book is kinda trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we get, I'm pretty sure we get the book The Nothing Man in this book, which is a book that this girl wrote about her experience with a serial killer called The Nothing Man. But then this book is really cool because we also get the perspective of The Nothing Man himself when he's reading her book. It's just really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm even having trouble right now recalling a lot of the details of the story in my mind even though I just read it in May. The other people was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With like the kids' friendships and like the redheaded girl and like, I don't know. It just reminded me of it. I had a great time with the chalk man. And then we have Greer Hendricks and Sarah Peckinen and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very unique opposite opinion of everyone else in the book community, I guess, because everyone else seems to love The Wife Between Us and they don't like An Anonymous Girl, but I'm the opposite, where An Anonymous Girl is like one of my favorite books from them, and I actually put it in an all-time favorite because I loved this book so much, but then The Wife Between Us


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I could not stand these characters and like, I couldn't stand this like, mystery. I just hate this plot twist in thrillers. It's so stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thriller that I like think I ever read that I just absolutely loved. And Gone Girl just has like one of the best plot twists, you know, that I've ever seen in my life. So Gone Girl is god tier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I don't remember a lot of it to be honest, but I remember loving it when I read it. So I really want to reread this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really intense, it's so, there's so many plot twists in this book, like just so, so, so many. And then we have The Minders, which I'm sad to say was disappointing slash skip it, because it's sad because this one was a booktrip selection for my book club this month, and this is the one that's like my least favourite John Mars book so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it sucks because this book does include spoilers for The Passengers and The One, and this book tries to act like it doesn't, but it definitely does, like right at the beginning of this book, so that's not cool. And then The Passengers was pretty great. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Little Secrets, I'm going to put in It Was Great slash Had Fun because I had a lot of fun reading this book and I just remember being like completely blown away by like this plot and these characters and I was just like, what the heck is going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, to date, but I've only read these two so far, but I'm definitely planning on changing that, especially soon with her newest book, False Witness. I plan on reading that soon. Uhm, but The Good Daughter, I'm gonna put in It Was Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this one is just really intense. This book was really hard to stomach. I mean honestly, like any Karen Slaughter is really hard to stomach for me. Uhm, but The Good Daughter was great, but Pretty Girls for me was an all-time favorite. I loved Pretty Girls, even though


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say Pretty Girls and The Good Daughter are some of the most graphically violent books that I've ever read in my life, so you've been warned. They are intense and they are not for everyone, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story in Pretty Girls hit me so freaking hard that I bawled my eyes out and like, I've never, before this book I had never cried during a thriller novel. So that was something that was really unique for me and that's why it's going down as one of my all time favorite books because it just affected me emotionally so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna put it in had fun, you know? It was great. I had fun. It doesn't stand out in my memory a whole lot compared to her other books, but I still had a good time. And then Invisible Girl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kind of feel the same way, like, it was fun, I had a great time. Same with the night she disappeared, that's her newest one, I had a great time. I feel like a lot of the times with Lisa Jewel books,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I know I'm trash for the guest list, but the guest list is going in God tier. And I know people are so sick and tired of hearing about the guest list because people think it's overhyped, and I understand, but I love the guest list. You know, I don't even care, I'm just, I'm a sucker for the like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Eight Perfect Murders, I also feel like it was fine. I didn't personally love it, but I could see why other people might really enjoy this book, but it was a little bit too slow for me, and I didn't appreciate the fact that this book spoiled eight other thriller mystery books just to get its point across. Like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An unpopular opinion, but I'm gonna put it in It Was Great because I really, really enjoyed this one. I know a lot of people think the rest of his books are just kind of like meh, but I thought this one was so good. It had so many plot twists. And then same with All the Beautiful Lies, I would also put this in It Was Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as I said earlier, you know, Riley Sager's probably one of my favorite thriller authors, so uhm, it should be no surprise that a lot of these books are uhm, you know, pretty top tier for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the last time I lied, I think I'm gonna put it in it was great and I had fun because it's not quite on the same tier for me as lock every door and home before dark. Like those are my top two god tier faves. And then the last time I lied is like right below that. Even though the last time I lied is still a five star book for me. That's just the way it goes, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I always feel like so torn on her books because like I really enjoyed some aspects of them but then the ending always falls apart. But I think the swap


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And same goes for the arrangement, like I feel the same exact way. It was fun, but it also was like frustrating by the end because I didn't like where the story ended up going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Murder mystery who done it kind of story where we're following all these people in a, you know, in a snowy situation where they can't escape this little place that they're at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then a stranger in the house, I would say disappointing slash skip it on this one as well. This one I just found to be very boring and very predictable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then my lovely wife is probably the one that I would put in god tier slash top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, Hairpin Bridge was disappointing slash skip it. I would not recommend reading this one. This one is so boring and so repetitive and just by the end of this book it just gets so like over the top villainous cheesy. I just wasn't a fan. And then we have Taryn Fisher who, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was another, uh, book club pick for my book club this month, and I'm sad to say The Wrong Family was trash. This was my only one-star book that I've had for the book troop this year, and I'm pretty sad about it. Like, I thought this book would be decent, you know, but this book was just not it for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then The Wives, I would say I enjoyed this one slightly more than The Wrong Family, so for that reason I'm gonna put it in disappointing slash skip it because I still don't think it's worth your time and I don't think it's worth reading, but I personally had slightly more enjoyment with this one than I did with The Wrong Family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody seems to love this one, and I don't understand why. I just don't get it, I don't know, it's just not for me, you know, I just don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Emma and the Knight. I think this is the only one that I think was actually pretty great. Like I actually really enjoyed Emma and the Knight and I really enjoyed the mother and daughter relationship specifically in this book. I think it was really interesting and unique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the last one is gonna be The Night Before, which this is one that I also think was pretty disappointing, slash, skip it. There is nothing in this thriller that you haven't seen before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so there you have it. Those are all of my favourite thriller authors ranked. I do think it's wild that I consider all of these people to be my favourite thriller authors and yet so many of their books end up in like, it was fine or it was disappointing or it was trash. Because I feel like with thriller authors, you know, it's so easy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spoons are the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text
