[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I don't want to get into too much about that because it goes in the spoilers. On the back here you have 95 in yellow there with the orange trim, and there's the gas cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the back here you have Rusty's and you have the Horn decal which again mimics Doc Hudson 95 and just the best thing right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Doc Hudson. I love that so much. That is just amazing. And it really just kind of like, I don't know, it really makes the movie. And if you guys have seen the movie, you might know what I'm talking about and how like the movie, the whole movie was for Doc Hudson and Paul Newman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's also the Russies logo there. On the base here, you just have the typical stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing too special. Alright, so that's it for him alone here. We're going to do some comparisons here first with the obvious one, Doc Hudson, because he based his new paint job here on Doc to honor him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fabulous and then the first word is in white and then McQueen and Hornet are in yellow. You can see some other decals that are similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 51 and all four corners there. You can see the 95 there. A white tax saying Hudson Hornet there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus Lightning McQueen nowadays. You guys get a nice little reflection there, I'm sure. And here is that Hudson Hornet logo, kind of like the, I don't quite know how to describe that, but this thing, we'll just call it this thing right here, is the same on the bumper of McQueen, which I really do like. Very much so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be kinda cool if someone made a custom Dynaco Fabulous Lightning McQueen using this, but probably won't be for a while just because of how hard this is to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'd have to, you know, pretty much just find one that you're willing to strip down and use as a custom. Here is the Blu-ray Lightning McQueen, which is pretty much a metallic version of Dinoco McQueen, but the colors are a little closer. Cool stuff, cool stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like Blu-ray McQueen by the way. I love like the purple coloring. Now if you'd like to see my review of him, it'll be in the description below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just to compare him to these other Lightning McQueens. Now he has the same model, like the newer McQueen model, the thinner and longer version versus the older one that was a little bit like chunkier, I guess you could say, which I don't know why they changed it. It doesn't make any sense to me, but oh well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going up and grabbing the old McQueen. Here it is. I have like a shelf behind me so that's why you might hear me like get farther away when I go and grab something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm just kind of lifting up a little bit. But there you go, there's a little comparison there. Awesome stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, so that's pretty much it for my review here of Fabulous Lightning McQueen. Before we end off though, here is the Mini Racers Fabulous McQueen. If you'd like to see my review of this little guy, you can check out the description below. And they are very cool looking together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really have to just take a look at all the McQueens and decide, but he's definitely up there. Just an absolutely gorgeous, amazing McQueen. It really like serves a nice like point to the movie because of how like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Special and memorable it is for Doc Hudson. And I guess I should, I kinda forgot about this. Sorry guys, do a little comparison here between the Disney Store version and the Mattel version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mainly the expressions are different, the coloring is a little different as well, but all the decals are the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how are you guys doing today as I do a little 360 of these two? I'm doing well. Today is Monday, the day that I'm recording this and since the country club is closed, I don't have work so I can just kind of do videos and I got in a nice package today so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a lot of things to review. I have, you can see back there the Fabulous, or what am I even talking about? I'm just enthralled with Fabulous. The San Diego Comic-Con 3 McQueen pack right there, so I'll review that. Obviously I have Taco to review as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll definitely be reviewing them in the next couple days. Actually, just let me know which one you want me to review first. They'll all have their own separate videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, I'm Shyam from PSBB KK Nagar and I love to play and watch football, cricket and chess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi, my name is Sreesh Ranjan. I am from Rajchi. I'm a die-hard fan of cricket and I always follow it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a nightmare. I don't think there can be a worst hell. It was awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was freezing in these damn shelves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit the top of the tree and came down in thousands of fragments that could kill anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To survive the Hurtin Forest was a miracle. But here I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A month in the war is a long time. The German artillery was in, it just never stopped. They really bombed us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would rain sometime or the snow would melt and the foxhole was always filled with water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was fortunate, uh, to have this camera with me and I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at my pictures, I have hundreds and hundreds of pictures of officers. I didn't take those because I liked it. I took them to make them happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that they would give me freedom to take more pictures, you know. I tricked all of them. I used them like little boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would ask three of my best friends to let me use the metal part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of the helmet and those became the trays for my dark room at night. I would mix my, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chemicals. Most GIs were all asleep. I was working because the darkroom was only the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I want to take was photographs, photographs, photographs. That's why I am here today, otherwise I would have gotten killed a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They began to give this food of dead GIs to the local people, to the Germans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I went back to the Hirtland Forest, uh, maybe 10 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ugly for mankind to, to have wars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you kidding me? That's like the most random release ever, I think. I think it really is. But anyways, we're not here to talk about Hot Rod Steve Herschel. We're here to talk about the true last Hot Rod character to be released that actually appeared, you know, in the movies and that is Hot Rod Louise Nash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other ones were River Scott and Junior Moon, they all appeared in the end credits. Smokey also got released from Mattel, but yea, he actually didn't appear either, but at least he's a little bit more understandable than Steve Herschel. So yea, anyways, welcome back to another Disney Docket presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just get right into it. He, she, excuse me, came out of Case G. I'll leave the unboxing link in the description below and the card stretch and pop-up. Really solid case. You have the Vuzin Racing Tractor Dash Boardman, Pan Wheel Daro, another really cool release from the year. And yeah, you know, just an overall very, very nice case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously new for 2021, even though she was supposed to be released in late 2019, early 2020 around there, but she was canceled. So it's great that, you know, Mattel was like, we made a mistake. We're going to release her. Don't worry. It only took like a year and a half to un-cancel her along with some of the other cars. Like who else do they un-cancel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they might have un-cancelled Hot River Sky. I think he was cancelled too. There were a whole bunch of them that, yea, Hot Red Steve Virgil as well, in fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he encarts three, you have Muddy Rusty's Racing Center McQueen Trainer Cruiser Miras, Vuzin Racing Tractor,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's only one of her in the case, so I did actually find one, believe it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did find one at a store, no fusing racing tractor, but was pretty grateful to find her. So I'm going to be right back with her all opened up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Herschel, which doesn't make any sense. Like how do you make a hearse hot rod with flames? I don't get it anyway that we'll talk about that in his video, which should be in like, you know, a month or so whenever he gets released. But yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have the hot or no, this is the heyday version of Louise Nash that was in that four pack only available overseas. And then we have the original version of Louise Nash released as a single in 2017. So you can see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They basically like made all these guys heyday again, like for River Scott, you know, he's now in his lighter coat of blue or the more vibrant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same thing with Junior Moon's more of a pure black instead of like the grey and same thing with Smokey. So basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You take the heyday version and then put the flames on, remove all the semblance of racing as well. So the number and her signature is gone. But yea, it's kind of a nice little evolution here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously this one now is Thailand and those two were China. So we've gone through a different, a couple different color eyes. You have like gray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda, this is like a very, I don't know, it's an interesting color, tan, like a very beige-y cream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it gets a little bit lighter over here, a little fainter, but still a little bit more vibrant than the original version. Obviously the pinks on her roofs have evolved quite a bit. You go from like a very dull sun damaged top to a very vibrant pink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she's got her little Nash logo there. Obviously she is like a Nash. I don't know the exact model. Oh my gosh, I know this, but yeah, her model is, or the brand's a Nash. Headlights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Line going down the hood there, and of course here are the flames which match her rooftop. Really nice color flames, like I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really hate Hot Rod, River Scott, because the flames just blend in. But here they look perfect on Louise. And like in the movie, like, he looks much better than this. So Mattel botched that, but they did a great job here with Louise. I like her wheels too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the base, she was made in the 8th week of 2021 at the A factory according to the date stamp there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like hydromatic or something, I don't know what this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says right here, if you know what this says, please let me know in the comments. But either way, this is the Chinese version, I can't read it on there, and then the Thailand version is even blurrier than that, so there's absolutely no shot I'm reading that. But yea, you have taillights, first lady, I like that license plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe Okla Cola. It seems like a carified version of Oklahoma. But yea, we go from like a yellow license plate to a white one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bumpers are separate pieces that are not a part of the base nor the bodies. So that's interesting. You got a couple pieces going on there, which is rare these days. They try and make as much, you know, one piece as possible. I feel like I would not be surprised if, you know, one day this becomes part of the base. I feel like they do that with Hot Wheels a lot. Yeah, really beautiful casting all around. Obviously not one of my favorites for the year, but definitely a must have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smokey, he was the first one to be released along with Junior Moon back in 2019. They look good, I like them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, like I said, Smokey didn't appear in the movie. Junior did. Gray flames are pretty accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, River Scott, in my opinion, they botched because the flames just blend right in with his main body color. And if you look in the movie, like, he looks much better because I think the flames are lighter. They're a lighter color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're almost like a baby light blue cyan. Almost turquoise, they're so light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is my least favorite of the bunch and my favorite. Yeah, it's Louise Nash. Like no recency bias. I think she will end up being my favorite. I think she's just so vibrant, you know, whereas all these other ones are a little bit duller colors. Love how like the pinkish orange looks on the beige. It looks so good. I'm gonna sneeze again in a video. Am I? Gosh, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe I've been sneezing so much in my videos lately, that's so weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must be something like in there. I've, I've been moving a lot of things around so probably some dust is getting up, kicked up in there and so that's probably why. But yea guys, thank you so much for watching this video. I'll put the heyday versions of these guys in the background so you can kind of see that. RiverSky get over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Now let me see how to begin. At the beginning. Yeah, right so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And lastly, as a humble American, the only titles that I haven't used for are in my vault in the Guaranteed Title and Trust Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I naturally accepted in the same spirit that I'd expect you to display had I asked you to keep an eye on my wife while taking off, let us say, for Zanzibar. When are you leaving? I said if. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would why me the same day ask me to join her in Palm Beach because of a slight indisposition? It's just to hear it. I suppose she's related to me also in some way. So faintly it's hardly worth mentioning it. Good. I'm sorry anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing is too much trouble for the busy man. If you ever want anything done, always ask the busy man. The others never have time. Now you asked me to keep an eye on your wife, and I am


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not every day that a zookeeper went to prison for murder for hire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ain't no one people are nuts, man. They're all crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad had a meeting with him many years ago, in the same business. We would never deal with him, forget it, no way. But my dad said about Trump after the meeting, he meaning Trump, has not read a book in 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see, sir. I see exactly. Oh, uh, don't hold me longer, sir. I get the idea splendidly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeah, the reality is that Joe Biden has aged and it's hard not to notice. And I think over the past few years, that aging has been a pronounced process. There's a real change occurring. Not surprising. It's normal for somebody of his age. In many ways, obviously he's as healthy and vigorous as any 81 year old you can see. He rides bikes. He exercises.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's walking to the podium and he kind of shuffles now into rooms and he has taken a few falls recently. You know, he once fell on his bike and that was recorded by cameras, which was embarrassing to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's the visual element. That's what we see. And then, you know, there's also the verbal element.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Extemporaneous speaking sometimes trail off mid-sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll confuse people, for instance, mentioning Helmut Kohl when he means Angela Merkel, different chancellors of Germany. Helmut Kohl, of course, has been dead for a number of years. Same with France. He confused François Mitterrand, the late president of France, with Emmanuel Macron, the current


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notice it when they haven't seen him for a while and it's been striking to them. So it's not just even what the reporters are saying, but the people who are around them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean that's a fair question, and what we've tried to do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Important decisions affected. And that's, that's what really, of course, matters most in a president and a commander in chief, especially at a time when we have so many crises. And so a few months ago,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, a team of us at the time spent weeks talking to dozens of people around Biden. And what we found is basically there are sort of these two Bidens coexisting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Side by side, there's the one who does forget names and places and may trail off in the middle of the thought. But then there's the Biden that behaves the way you would expect a president to act, you know, to really grill his aides on what's going on and make sure he has all the information. In fact, to correct them when he thinks that they're wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of America, and this is a real crisis because the fear was that Russia in its war with Ukraine had hit a NATO ally, which would have been a massive escalation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and in the middle of the night, he's woken up to deal with this crisis, and as his aides describe it, and of course this is his aides, we're not there, but as they describe it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he does what you want a president to do. He gets in touch with the president of Poland and the NATO secretary general and he really leads the world through this crisis. And as they discover, fortunately, it turned out not to be a Russian missile and it was not an intentional escalation and then the crisis was defused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the two Bidens you're seeing, the one that you don't see as much on TV or in public who is doing the job that the voters want them to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. Look, in interviewing all these people who have been around him, aides, administration officials, allies, congressional officials, even foreign diplomats, nobody has said to me they don't think he can do the job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody said that they think that the issues that trouble a lot of Americans about his appearance or his clear aging have affected his capacity


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make the decisions that you would want a president to make. Now what a lot of people do have concern about, including some people around him, is you know, where this could lead. If he's able to make these decisions in the way he does now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one thing. What will it be like a year from now? Or if he wins another election, five years from now. He would be 86 at the end of a second term. And that's the question I think a lot of voters are going to ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least among some of them, right? There are a lot of people in the administration who will in a, you know, candid moment, maybe over a glass of wine at night or when they're certainly not on the record, then you would hear from some administration officials anyway this concern about what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Public memory lapses and confusion over issues and names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know uh, things he says that seem to indicate cognitive issues with age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trump speaks with such bombastic energy that it sort of conveys something different and the polls show that while a lot of Americans are also concerned about Trump's age,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he also would be the oldest president in history if he wins and finishes a four year term. Not as many voters are quite as concerned as they are with Biden. The age issue has definitely been more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damaging politically for Biden so far than it has been for Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so Robert Herr was the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to look into why President Biden had kept classified documents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From his time as Vice President, even going back to his time as Senate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, President Trump, since he had already been investigated for something similar, they had to make sure to look at this in a serious way as well. So Robert Herr was a Republican US attorney appointed by Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then picked by Merrick Garland to handle this very delicate case because that way, you know, nobody could say that if he, uh, found no issue that he was a partisan Democrat. In fact, he has a pretty non-partisan reputation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is unfortunately for Biden a political nightmare. The bombshell in the report is why Robert Hurst says he can't charge the president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the reasons he says is the president's memory is so bad that he couldn't establish Biden's intent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, exactly. So her sits down with President Biden for five hours of interviews over two days, and in his report, her takes through these key moments when the President can't seem to remember important moments, or at least remember the specifics of when they happened. For instance,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he couldn't remember reading out loud his notes to the ghostwriter of one of his books, although obviously he did do that. And in reading those out, read out classified information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He couldn't remember exactly when he was vice president. At one point he says, if it was 2013, when did I stop being vice president? He was trying to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recall, in 2009, am I still vice president? So he couldn't place the dates correctly, at least not initially. According to Robert Herr, even most explosively, President Biden couldn't remember the year that his son, Bo, died, even within several years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that in particular was a powerful thing for Robert Hurd to report. So in the end, Hurd writes in his report, quote, a jury would not convict him because he seems like a well-meaning elderly man with memory problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a fair question. And after all, the special counsel was tasked with looking into mishandling classified documents, not the president's mental acuity. But, you know, for Robert Herr, he felt the need to justify his decision not to bring criminal charges. And so the examples needed, I suppose, in his mind to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. This is not a poll. This is not a reporter writing a story. It's not a columnist or a commentator making gratuitous comments. It's not Republicans, you know, chopping up his videos and putting them out in a damaging way. This is an official report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To remember things or not remember things as the case may be and the line then becomes well if he's not fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be a defendant in a trial as he fit to be President of the United States.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can imagine how this goes over in the White House, right? This is infuriating to them. Bidenland is absolutely livid. The President is absolutely livid. And so he decides to fight back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's talking about how he has been exonerated and that is in fact still the bottom line of this report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he cited the special counsel's own statements praising him for his cooperation, which of course is in great contrast to former President Trump, who's charged with trying to literally obstruct


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And specifically, Biden mentions the part of the report that says he couldn't remember when his son died. At this point, you see the anger especially in his face and he's kind of gritting his teeth almost as he's responding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's not denying any of the very specific things that Her is saying. He's most upset that it suggests that he doesn't remember his son's death. And of course he remembers his son's death. That was one of the most stirring moments of his life. Robert Her wasn't saying he didn't remember that. Robert Her was saying he didn't remember the date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for President Biden, it was a step too far. It was an inflammatory thing to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most dramatically, he has his back and forth with a Fox News reporter, Peter Ducey, who asks him, can you continue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Biden pushes it back on him saying, my memory is so bad, I let you speak. And I think that was an effective moment for Biden to kind of turn the question back around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's walking out the door, he has said what he wants to say, but he hears a question about Gaza.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Israel's response in Gaza was over the top. That was much sharper than he has said before. But then he makes a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says the president of Mexico when he means the president of Egypt. And it's not that big a deal obviously, but in this moment, in this particular moment when people are focused on his memory and his ability to speak correctly, in the end it distracts from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The message he had just delivered about how sharp he was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start with the party. I mean, there are Democrats like David Axelrod, who of course was Obama's top advisor and who knows Biden well from the time he was vice president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The White House has done a pretty good job of trying to tamp down concern in the Democratic Party to the point where they had convinced a lot of people who may have their doubts about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recognize he was going to be their candidate anyway, so it was time to try to move on past that issue and not focus on it. And then you have this report come out that puts it front and center again and causes a lot more hand wringing inside the party about what they're going to do with a candidate who's 81 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean the reality is nobody can talk Joe Biden out of running at this point except maybe his wife and she's all on board. So he has spent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decades trying to become the President of the United States and then you want to tell him not to, to run again? No way. You know, he, he feels I think very aggrieved at this idea that he shouldn't run for a second term when he feels like he's done a really good job in the first term so far and he also feels he is uniquely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he's the one guy who did beat Donald Trump in 2020.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And in fact, other Democrats deferred to him, whether they thought it was a good idea or not. Really nobody challenged him. I mean, Dean Phillips, a congressman from Minnesota, got in the race and he got clobbered in the New Hampshire primary where Biden wasn't even on the ballot and people wrote him in. So there is no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a plausible scenario at this point for any candidate other than President Biden unless something happens between now and the election that forces a change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. They recognize that that conversation is too late to have at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so a lot you hear from some Democrats, even the ones who are uncomfortable with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But elderly guy, to paraphrase Robert Hurt's report, versus a person who in their


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The view and the view of a lot of Americans is reckless and dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Trump himself decides to say something that will play right into the democratic strategy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's in South Carolina at a rally on Saturday, just two days after the Her Report comes out, and he's talking about NATO and how NATO members should be spending more on their military and he's been pushing them to do it. And he recounts this story where he says, anyway, a NATO ally once asked him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. Right. Exactly. It's not just that he changes the subject, which is important and helpful to the Biden camp. It's that he helps the Biden people reframe the age question to say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is more important to you, somebody who, you know, forgets a name or can't, uh, summon a date or somebody who would completely undermine the entire international order as we have known it for generations. And from their viewpoint, this helps put the age question in perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think that's a very interesting question, an important question. The party didn't really have that conversation in an open way. They deferred to the incumbent president because he wanted to run again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because they thought, at least at one point, that his argument that he was the one person who could beat Trump would be the safest pair of hands in a way. But the polls show he's not. The polls show that he's running even or even behind former President Trump, and that he in fact is not a guarantee to win in 2024.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's actually a lot of debate and tension about this within Biden world. There are those who want to protect him, make sure that he doesn't have too many opportunities to make mistakes that would embarrass him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are those around him, there are people in the White House and the administration I hear say, let him loose, put him out there and he will do fine. Most broadly though, I think the broad strategy is they're just gonna have to gut it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no chance of changing candidates at this point, so just live with it. Make the contrast with former President Trump. Make the argument that you've got two old men, both of whom have their issues about age, but that one of them is a responsible actor and the other's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the question is, will they be able to make that case to the American public and will the American public buy it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Peter, thank you very much. Thank you, Michael. Great talking to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey everybody, I am Cinnamon Cooney, your archer by today. I'm going to show you how you can paint this really calm healing scene of two dragonflies


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flying over a pond with light reflecting on the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very beginner friendly lesson. I'm gonna break down everything step by step, explain every technique, every color mix, every tool. To help me do that is my husband John. Hello.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can watch this lesson if this is just something you're really wanting to paint. Everything's included. It's time stamped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's chapter marked. We've got traceables and resources. I'm gonna show you how to draw it. It's very inclusive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're wanting to learn how to paint in acrylic in your beginner, this is part of an actual complete course for beginner acrylic painting. And this is one of ten paintings that I think every beginner should give a try at so they can do more stuff in their own personal artwork.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little skills that build into other little skills. Plus we have all that kind of like first


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Primer videos look like all those questions that you have as a beginner. So if you're interested, feel free to check it out. It's free and you can do it anytime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just wanted to do the dragonflies, you're going to really love this lesson. It is perfect for you. All right, John, I feel like nothing to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the first step of this lesson, we're going to want to do a couple things where we lay out some structural information for ourselves. I'm going to do a couple little tricks here to make it easier for myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the first thing that I'm gonna do is a ruler. Now, this is a special ruler called a T-square. And what it's for is it just helps me draw straighter lines. You can do this freehand. Absolutely. I've just found that with water, the straighter the line, the more it helps it look like water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna use a watercolor pencil. You could use chalk just as easily. And I'm going to draw a straight line across and this is going to be my water line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when I know my wire line, I can come in and put my moon and I'm gonna go ahead and use a roll, uh, thing of tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's a good circle, you could use a cup lid, you could use anything that's industrial and round. This one is about three inches across, and I want to make sure that I have at least two to three fingers from the top of the painting. I'm gonna go ahead and draw inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and just let myself know where this round is. Now I picked blue watercolor pencil. This isn't a colored pencil. Cause it is made to be water soluble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you didn't have that, again, the kind of chalk that your teachers use or kids use is the perfect kind of chalk to just be able to easily remove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, when we have that in, which is pretty cool, I'm gonna go ahead and grab a bright brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna use this to create circular strokes that go around the mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's start with a little bit of purple. So let's take our blue and our red. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna take our little blue and our red and we're gonna make a bit of a purple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your purple could be a little different than mine depending on what colors you're using.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll come around kind of carefully. Oh, yeah, booboo there at first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't have to be perfect because I'm going to come back with my tape again and reset the circle later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because I want my moon to be very light, I'm not painting the dark color into where the circle goes. Sometimes I start from the very center, but if I know for a fact that I'm gonna be coming back, I'll leave that white. Or I've gotta paint it white later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now as I'm coming out, I can add more blue and a little less red. And I'm gonna continue these radial brush strokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Across the horizon though, I've gotta do a different little trick. I'll have to do it above and below the water line. I'm gonna come across with a straight of a line as I can muster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in this particular case, I'm gonna just go from left to right on the edge of my brush, creating a crisp line. And then I'm gonna start to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come over to my paint. I'm adding just a small amount of red to the blue just to deepen it. Take it more into an indigo space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this first layer doesn't have to be perfect or neat and tidy guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to be doing a couple layers. And it's about how they weave together. That makes the painting look so beautiful. Brush directionality is a big part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be a very nice one hanging along. It's gonna be a calm one to paint, but it's also gonna be a calm one to look at. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I'm gonna want this to completely dry before I do the next step, so when we come back, make sure that your canvas is dry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now once this is dry we can layer the next colors over it that's gonna give it some depth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is really kind of a fun stage, in my opinion, because the colors are so enjoyable and pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to take my red and kind of mix it into my blue. Then I'm going to add some white to that. Creating this sort of burgundy pink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna come around on short little rounded brush strokes and make little radial


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brush strokes out. It's sort of a dry brush. The stroke is curving. I'm on the edge of my bright. This is still my bright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lighter colors I'm gonna want closer to where my moon's gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the sky will get darker as it radiates out. Gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to wipe this off so that there's not a lot of water. I'm gonna take my blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't want to make it real light, so I'll bring the white over to the blue, because I'm not trying to make a very light blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See how my pressure's very light? This is what you're gonna be working on at home. Is capturing this like, just dusting pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is very dry brush, the paint is not wet on my brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that's really pretty. I'm gonna do a neat little trick here though. I'm gonna take a little yellow, just a smidge over to my blue. And I'm gonna make a turquoise. A turquoise is a blue green color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This can be very streaky, that's okay. This is kind of like that beginning Van Gogh stroke. You're getting sort of an early sense of how that's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just want to put a nice radiation amount. Radiation. Radiating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not radioactive, it's perfectly safe and calm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing that a small amount of time. I'm not trying to make orange, I'm just trying to really warm this pink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll always add a little more yellow. And then I'm gonna come in and kind of weave this through too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can see I can come out into the sky a bit as well. Little short curve strokes. So the purple is showing through. All the different little colors kind of really show through, don't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what you see me doing here is trying to make sure that my brush strokes don't make even repetitive patterns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's because the pattern is what will kind of throw off the sky, but if you can keep it kind of a regular and playful,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can get a really, really good effect. And you can play with that back and forth until you're completely happy. Like, if you were like, oh no, I want it to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little more turquoise with some white. You could come back with that and very easily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm gonna rinse my brush out really well. And I'm gonna go ahead and dry the canvas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I painted this in, the painting is completely dry, but I want to make sure that my moon is round and set. So I'm going to take my watercolor pencil or chalk, either is fine, and kind of reinforce that line on that moon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't have to be perfectly round, but you want it to be round-ish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna take my half inch angle brush, cause I just like the control of it. And I'm going to make a little bit of a gray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I might add some yellow to my gray. A small amount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to do it this way so that later when I come and add the lighter color on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has some depth and it can be a very light moon. I'm kind of showing you guys how to do like a very cratery moon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one we want to do a very illuminated moon. Like there's a lot of sunlight reflecting on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using the edge of my brush to get a sharp edge. And because I used a watercolor pencil, it's blending in. If I used chalk, it would blend in. That's why I picked those materials. That's something that would resist the paint and be hard to remove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a two layer moon, so I've gotta dry this layer and come back and put another dry brush layer on top of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now that I've dried that, I can come back with a little bit of white and maybe a smidge of yellow. Right, but it's mostly white. And just sort of dry brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which means there's not a lot of water in my brush. My pressure's very light. I'm allowing the brush to kind of skip over the canvas. It has very light pressure down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's going to make a very bright moon in the center. And that will help our dragonflies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like they're very well and backlit. And having a little bit of gray underneath keeps it from being just a white dot. More interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I first did it, I actually did the traditional darker moon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I sat and looked at it for a while and I was like, you know, that does not look how I would want that to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, that let me know that I wanted to do it differently and I made that change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, officially the end of the step now that we've done the two layers of the moon. When we come back, I'll show you the next layer that you put in on this painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we now get to add the water to our landscape. I'm going to start with my bright brush again. This is about one inch wide. If you haven't seen one of these before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all have different numbers, they don't tell you the width, but that's what you're looking for, something about this scale across.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I found is it's just better to tell you all the size that you might be operating from. I'm gonna take just blue. And I'm gonna come across from left to right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could go from right to left if that's easier for you, depending on your dominant hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not being too precious about it right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is gonna be a thing where I'm trying to keep my brush strokes fairly level matching this line here all the way down. Right, so that implied line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna turn my canvas just so I have an easier access to this sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still gonna try to keep the brush strokes not at an angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even where I've got to go over the edges, I'll come back and smooth it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, while it's still wet with my bright brush, I'm gonna come in and I'm gonna add a little white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To my mix up here, it's a little yellow, a little blue, and a little white.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna come down the center, and I'm again turning it just so that I have nice brush control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, yeaah, this is, it helps my dominance. And I'm gonna come here and add a little white, green, blue down the center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For this to work, I've got to dry this and come back and do another layer so it has the depth that we want on the water that's going to help us set up the reflection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's call this a step, get it dry completely, and then we'll come back and finish the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now that this is dry I want to come back and add another layer of blue. The blue in many paint lines tends to be a little transparent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, I have found that in painting water,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter what kind of landscape, whether I'm doing one of my very involved landscapes or one of these fun pretty landscapes, having a little depth to the blue really improves my water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to come back with my reflection because it's the lightest. I'm going to take my yellow, uh, blue and white again and I'm going to make a very, very light color. I'm on the edge of my bright and I'm going to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then make little dashing lines that are horizontal. If you see them they're like horizontal. I want them to be as horizontal as they can be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can come on the wider edge of the brush, whatever gives you good results. I will let some of the blue peek through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do that because when the water ripples, uh, I had a whole month long course, uh, it's called Acrylic April. And last year, last year, 2020.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did, and we did waterscapes specifically. We talked a lot about water as a mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's 30 paintings on like one topic that we do every day. So it's a bit involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but it's to teach landscape painting and we really got into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is one of the fundamental core skills that we really covered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've left those ripples there. Already it has a bit of that water reflection, doesn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's given a chance to. I'm gonna come back with a little bit of blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna brush in, again, horizontally from the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I'll come in on the edge, sometimes I'll come in on the wide. That means I brush across on the wide or come on the edge of the brush. Make those little differences. I try to let this be, you know, a little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very important on this particular water technique, yeaah, that you keep those lines as horizontal as you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pulling down. And you can see that we're weaving them in together. Once that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so it's like a three pass. Might add a little more yellow to that. A little more moonlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see that that just lets it create some dimensionality, doesn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't try to make a very even like edge corridor. I want the water to pick out a little bit of different light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it goes. We have one final set of reflections that comes down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when those are in, it really lets it take place. So I'm gonna put this down, put this brush down, and I'm gonna get my half and shanko brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get it a little bit wet. I'm gonna pull out a little white paint. Maybe even a little yellow. Right, we had that with the moonlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna come here and make little bright marks. Again, still very horizontal. Taking my brush up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what's gonna be peeking between the reeds. This is the little sparkle in the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, your water might have a little bit of green in it with the yellow, but that's okay, cause water can be very green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could use your big brush again if you wanted to. I'm using my angle so I can have kind of like smaller little choppy lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just making little backward dashes. The brush stroke goes kind of backwards from the short end of the bristles to the long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still trying to keep things kind of horizontal even though there's a little, sometimes curve to the stroke cause maybe the water is moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just play with that till you're happy. Try not to go diagonal, right? You just want to be coming down in little horizontal spaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about that again just so that it's helpful to you because this is something when you're a beginner you've got to learn how to do reflections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On wet streets, on water, on different surfaces. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I layered to create depth in the water, and when I came down this line of light,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I made sure to have kind of an implied zigging and zagging on the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so the two reflections that I painted through here did zig and they did zag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when I come through with a white and yellow reflection, it's really white where it's like the sparkle in the water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still leave a lot of space you can see between the brush strokes there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it implies that the water is maybe a little bit of movement, maybe a little bit of wind across the surface. So that's how we did that. Now let's dry our canvas thoroughly and when we come back, we'll start putting in our reeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, because our dragonflies are kind of close to us, we have to push the reeds back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the way that we're gonna do that is we layer them on first. Now I'm gonna use a tool, I'm gonna use a chalk tool. This is a tailor's chalk tool. You could use chalk from a chalkboard like teachers or kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not using my watercolor pencil because it won't really show over the blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna come down here from this left corner and I'm going to kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Curve myself a guideline that comes up. I'm just testing the direction of my focal cactails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that I'm gonna have another cactail that comes on a counter curve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then another one that kinda comes over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to want to have its little long stem happen that way. So I've got my three focal cactails here. I know I framed this center in with another cactail it curves. I've got a very long one here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there is one that kind of comes in counter. And then another little short one. Kind of layers it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you just think about the layering of that. And when you have those guides in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you got something awkward, you can change it when it's chalk. It's tougher when it's black paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why sometimes it's a good idea to give yourself some guidance. Huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna come in with my half inch angle brush and a little bit of black. I'm gonna thin that black with water so that it's nice and flowing off of my brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The big trick on this is figuring out how much water your specific paint at home needs to thin. If you have craft paint, it might need no water. It may be perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have heavy bodied paint, it might need more. If you had golden paint, it might need like more water, like depends on your brand, your paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go from the outside in and I'm gonna work from left to right, kind of. Let's come on the edge of the brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's make a nice little line. Now these we sort of have a little control over and when I finish the line I'm gonna lighten my pressure to kind of make that a little more thin and fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of little tubes. And I'm gonna just make little strokes that go across, kind of implying these cactails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you want a little of the stick to come out, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can always like make it more long or more defined if you want. Really up to you. Bring this one a little more down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are really fun. I grew up with these on my pond, and if you get a ripe one and you explode it, it just makes fluff everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True. My parents felt like it was distinctly a bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're painting black paint, guys, I just want to give you a cautionary tale. Go slow, take your time, and don't panic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and remember on the technique video we talked about how to fix things? Everything in acrylic paint can be fixed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not being super perfect about these little cactail tops, but already they look like cactail tops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna turn this a bit so that I just have a better angle for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, I have been known, you know, as you paint sometimes you'll be like, oh, it layered, that's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Curved long grass like lines. They're going to curve up and down, so like this one's gonna curve a little bit right. Some of them are gonna curve left, and we're gonna weave them together. See how we're doing that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like some of these lines to come above the water. I still like the water to peek through. I don't want to paint out my cactails, so I'm gonna be careful of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This corner I'm going to have be more solid black. Right. That's like there's just a solid mass of leaves there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frame in this with some more grasses. Pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to paint out this cacti because I've got to shade them and get them in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because just getting a sense of curving your stroke, pressing harder at the beginning and releasing at the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are techniques that you are learning to master in that first bit of time that you're painting. So don't feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that's a little bit of a challenge, I'm painting this corner more solid. And then I will bring up grasses. Reeds really. Water grasses, the leaves, the cactails. Just all those little things that you find along the pond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but that's why we covered that in the technique class is because hey, it's a lot, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, nice little framing. So what you have is this nice dark kind of silhouette that's framing. You want to winch your brush out thoroughly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for the next step, we really, really want to make sure that this layer is thoroughly dry. Okay, so come back with your layer thoroughly dry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a very pretty composition right now, but I want to give it a little more zhuzh, right? So we're going to create a little highlight on the cactiols. It's night, it's dark, they are silhouettes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're silhouettes with some personality. So I'm gonna take a little of my yellow and put it kind of to the side here. And I'm gonna grab a small amount of red.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to layer the cactails. And the way I layer them will actually put one cactail in front of another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I come here and I'm gonna come from the edge and I'm gonna make a little


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Left to right stroke, and that's the beginning of the highlight. Come here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm gonna go from, I guess left to right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did I just say that backwards? You did. Sorry guys, you can tell me when I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well now I'm going to go, now this was left to right, now I'm going to go right to left. Oh, silly me. Oh, I'm so silly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks pretty good, right? Let's add a little more yellow into that mix and make a brighter kind of more yellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I'll come over and create a very bright highlight with that color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna very just delicately add just this little highlight. Left to right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I'm leaving what's outside of it there. I'm just creating that drama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's super terrific. I'm gonna rinse, rinse, rinse out. Really get the paint off my brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if my paint isn't too wet, I can probably come back and even add a little bit of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little bright white highlight. On a couple of places. Isn't that cool? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if you're having trouble doing this part, you just might need to dry your canvas. Like, I'm pretty good at doing one end to wet at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But again, if it's giving you any grief, go ahead and dry. If you want to figure out why I can do this in your sterling,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I am very good at adjusting my brush pressure and the angle of my brush to come across the surface of the paint and just very carefully layer a pitch on there. Technical term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that, you know, that's a muscle memory that you do get over time, so you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May not have it today. Doesn't mean you'll never have it. And it's always okay to just dry the canvas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that you get the effect. Alright, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how you got there. You just want to make sure you have the effect when you want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's dry that all the way through and then we'll come back and put the green highlights on the reeds and leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just like the cactails, we can add a little bit of highlights to the reeds to give them depth, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I want a darker green and that means I'm going to take my yellow over to my blue. Right, because I need a darker green, not a lighter green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I wanted a lighter green I might take my blue over to my yellow so I can have a little more control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Strength and then a little more yellow just to make sure it reads as distinctly green. I'm pretty thoroughly mixing this one. And I'm gonna come from the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And make some strokes upward just like I did with the black reeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When this will help, and I don't have to do too many strokes, this is just some dimensionality to it. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll notice that I do hatch across, across my stroke. And that's okay. I need more green, I'll just make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once I'm here, that's pretty cute and we could be done. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upward strokes. I don't paint out everything I have. That's a big trick. Don't paint out everything you have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna dry this. One, because we're gonna be doing some close canvas work where you might be resting your hands. And whenever you might be resting your hands near or on your canvas, you have more of a tendency to drag paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can always use a bridge or a mall stick to prevent that, but I've just found like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little ounce of dry is a good bit of prevention. So let's dry it and come back and we'll add dragonflies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are really fun to me. They're a simplified dragonfly but I think they're really charming and I've taught them for a few years so I know they're very beginner friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to kind of guesstimate the amount of space that I want my dragonfly to take and I'm going to use my chalk and I'm going to make a little curved line. A little comma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And where I curve that, I'm gonna make a counterposing curve line, but this one is gonna go a little bit on my moon and back. So the tail's gonna have at least two fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the edge of the canvas, so it doesn't get too big, right? So he goes well onto the moon. He's obviously not on the moon, he's just layered in front. When I have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna give myself a little idea of where my head is, which is about the size of a pea. Good to know where your head is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the wings start right behind the head. And the reason I want to use chalk, to guesstimate them out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that it's really easy for them to get away from you, so if you do the chalk now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you come back with a black paint, you kind of have an idea of what you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I let them layer over my cactails which pulls them forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much as possible. I'm gonna have that guide in. I'm gonna get my round brush and I'm gonna thin some black paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I take one or two drops over, sometimes more, and I bring that water, swirl it into the paint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thin it and roll it. Now if you've got craft paint, or glue paint, or medium body paint, you may not need as much as I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're painting exactly my brand, this set, well then you know how that one works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda like this little dots going back. Now as they go back, these little dot marks, little swirls, they get smaller and smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And loop back. Okay, if the brush stroke's a little bit airy or streaky because this is sort of that type of painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to be perfect here, so don't put perfect pressure on yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna do the same thing, little dots kinda going back. They're not perfect dots either, notice they're just kinda like implied little dots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the same length on both of them. That's something I always try to check is like is about the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey little wings, I'm really proud of this one. I think this is going to be a great lesson and you guys are going to get such pretty paintings out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's very important that for the rest of this to work that this black paint is thoroughly dry. I know I say dry your canvas a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A paint drawing. But let's do dry dragonflies and when we come back I'll show you how to kind of get the next layer on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I want to put a little color and pizzazz on my dragonfly and I'm going to grab my white. I'm going to come inside the wing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this is gonna be one of those layers where we dry and then paint instead of having it be two separate steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is important to do the drawing when I mention it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's funny because I'll be adding another white highlight, but just doing this is going to make sure that my orange and yellow, which tends to be transparent, is bright on the wing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a lot of questions like, you know, I'm really surprised you painted all those colors with primaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you understand your paint, whatever paint you have, and it's nature or it's properties when it's transparent, uh, you know, the things that it does uniquely, you can do anything. What gets, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Myself, new artists, anyone really in trouble is when there's some quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we're not familiar with and we don't know how to prepare or adjust or have any strategies for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a lot of what you're learning in your first ten paintings is how to know strategies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as a teacher, that's what I'm also trying to teach you. Strategies to adjust for things. For when I'm not there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not just trying to teach you for the painting that we're here together, but I'm trying to teach you things so that when I'm not there, you know what to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you've dried them. Make sure that the paint isn't lifting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we're going to come in and we're going to make some orange. Now, I will pull a little of my yellow out again. My red over here, and we're going to make some bright orange. A little bright orange.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we want it to be brighter and warmer, it has more red. If we want it to be more yellow, we would add more yellow. We're gonna be in the red orange right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna take this and just kind of brush this back on the wing. It's just a little bit of a tip on the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gets away from you can always bring white back from the center out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This area has a lot of adjustment for personal preference. A lot of forgiveness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just moving this around so that I have a nice angle when I'm doing my brush strokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the top dragonfly even though I've got the canvas kind of turned to the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does help it be very bright, even though I'm painting over black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing when you need to put a layer of a lighter color to help a bright color be revealed is one of those art skills you want to work on. I'm going to add a little bit of yellow. I'm going to add these a little bit too. You can see I'm kind of just layering over the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just nice to have a little bit of dimensionality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember how I said you could just counterbalance back? And see that extra layer of bright white? Pretty powerful, isn't it? Yea. I think so does dragonflies. Pop, pop, pop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That little motion I just did with my hands, that's me just pulling a water drop off the brush. Sometimes you guys can't see stuff, or it doesn't really show it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm getting more and more out of the years in the habit of just saying, hey, I removed the water dropper, this happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because those little decisions I make as an artist can be, uh, big information for you guys at home. Guess what? We just painted it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it's so exciting. Let's give it a signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go ahead and take a little bit of my yellow over to where this green is, and I'll grab some white. I'm gonna make very vibrant green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like a color that is there, but also will show. I'm gonna sign over here at the bottom very carefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I mentioned before, I don't want to disrupt the whole painting with the signature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had so much fun with this. Okay, when we come back, I'm going to tell you what you need to do next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was really wonderful to spend today with you, whether you got to be here on the live or you're joining us on the replay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether you've come just to do this one dragonfly painting, or you're participating in the entire beginner acrylic paint program, I just really appreciate your time and support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. That way you can be notified when I do more free programs or other exciting upcoming paintings. Speaking of, tomorrow we've got a really great painting coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're here on the replay, you would just go right to that next. If you're here during the live, I'm gonna be seeing you tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a lot of fun. I cannot wait to see yours. I hope you'll share it with me. John, thank you so much for your time today. Oh, thank you guys for doing this with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't a safe place for the future. When we have a high tide and a big storm, the water smashes into the sea wall and sprays over the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You fold the leaves like this and wrap the fish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can eat every part of the squash. The flower, the stem, the skin, the seeds. When you cut the squash, make sure you don't cut the slices too thickly. Why do we want a lot of herbs in our soup?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We want to alert the children to what's going on here and how they can deal with the problem. Most of the children are scared of climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he didn't have a job, we'd have a lot of problems. We wouldn't be able to lead this life. I'm very happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, he's a nice creature. Have you known him long? No, not very long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've often had fainting spells and you know it. Don't you remember Bobby's school concert? And Eileen's wedding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been shopping and I was tired and the refreshment room was very hot and I suddenly felt sick. Nothing more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're the only one in the world with enough wisdom and gentleness to understand. If only it was somebody else's story and not mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it all began. Just through me getting a little piece of grit in my eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd been to the Palladium as usual, but it was a terribly long film and I was afraid I'd be late. As I came up onto the platform, the Charlie train was just puffing out. I looked up idly as the windows of the carriages went by, wondering if he was there. I remember this crossing my mind, but it was quite unimportant. I was really thinking of other things. The present for your birthday was worrying me rather. It was terribly expensive, but I knew you wanted it. And I'd sort of half taken the plunge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was wildly extravagant, I know, but having committed the crime, I suddenly felt reckless and gay. The sun was out and everybody in the street looked more cheerful than usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We walked back to the station together. Just as we reached the gates he put his hand under my arm. I didn't notice it then, but I remember it now. What's she like, your wife?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think all doctors ought to have ideals ready. Otherwise their work would be unbearable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or perhaps upstairs in her room. Not feeling very well. Small, dark, and drabadelic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wondered if you'd say, I met such a nice woman at the Cardoma. We had lunch and went to the pictures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then suddenly I knew that he wouldn't. I knew beyond a shadow of doubt that he wouldn't say a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had lunch with a strange man today and he took me to the movies. Good for you. He's awfully nice. He's a doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Thursday came, I went to meet Alec more as a matter of politeness than for any other reason. It didn't seem of any importance, but after all I had promised. I managed to get the same table. I waited a bit, but it didn't come. The ladies orchestra was playing away as usual. I looked at the cellist. She'd seemed to be so funny last week. Today she didn't seem funny anymore. She looked pathetic, poor thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After lunch, I happened to pass by the hospital. I remember looking up at the windows and wondering if he were there. Or whether something awful had happened to prevent him turning up. I got to the station earlier than usual. I hadn't enjoyed the pictures much. It was one of those noisy musical things and I'm so sick of them. I'd come out before it was over. As I took my tea to the table, I suddenly wondered if I'd made a mistake. And he'd meant me to meet him there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I left the refreshment room, I saw a train coming in. His train. He wasn't on the platform. And I suddenly felt panic-stricken at the thought of not seeing him again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh Fred, it really was a lovely afternoon. There were some little boys sailing their boats. One of them looked awfully like Bobby. That should have given me a pang of conscience, I know, but it didn't. I was enjoying myself. Enjoying every single minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I imagine being with him in all sorts of glamorous circumstances. It was one of those absurd fantasies just like one has when one is a girl being wooed and married by the ideal of one's dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drifting along the Grand Canal in a gondola with the sound of mandolins coming to us over the water. I saw us travelling far away together. All the places I've always longed to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see, you didn't know that that was the first time in our life together that I'd ever lied to you. It started then. The shame of the whole thing. The guiltiness. The fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She couldn't come to the pictures with me because she had to go and see her in-laws. They lived just outside Milford, you know. So I walked with her out of the bus and then came home on my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know I haven't been inside the Royal since Violet's wedding reception? But will seem very grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Freddy really was charming. I know you'd have liked him if only things had been different. As we were going out, he said that he had a surprise for me, and that if I would wait in the lounge for five minutes, he'd show me what it was. He went out and down the steps at a run, more like an excited schoolboy than a respectable doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alec Harvey, of course. Surely you remember the Harveys. I've known them for years. No, I don't think I do. Well, he'll be back in a minute. You'll probably recognize him when you appear very closely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There at the foot of the steps was a little two-seater car. Alec had borrowed it from Stephen Lynn for the afternoon. I tried so hard to look pleased, but it wasn't any good. I kept thinking of those two, laughing and talking, laughing and talking about us, and I couldn't get them out of my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we were out in the real country, I think it was a few miles beyond Brayfield. We stopped the car just outside a village and got out. There was a little bridge and a stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We leaned on the parapet of the bridge and looked down into the water. I shivered, and Alec put his arm around me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must have stayed on that bridge for a long time. Because when we got back to Steve and Lynn's garage, it was getting dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alec reminded me that Stephen wasn't coming back till late, but I still refused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, Fred, is that you? Yes, dear, it's me, Laura. Yes, everything's perfectly all right, but I shall be home to dinner. I'm with Miss Lewis. Miss Lewis, dear, you know the librarian I told you about at Booth's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her mother's been taken ill and I've promised to stay with her until the doctor comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, of course, as soon as I can. Alright, goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today was our last day together. Our very last together in all our lives. I met him outside the hospital as I had promised at 12.30. At 12.30 this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was only this morning. We drove into the country again, but this time he hired a car. I lit cigarettes for him every now and then as we went along. We didn't talk much. I felt numbed and hardly alive at all. We had lunch in a village pub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we walked through the station, I remember thinking, this is the last time with Alec. I shall see all this again, but without Alec. I tried not to think of it. Not to let it spoil our last moments together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Kiribati, most of the time the priority need for our people is water. And that's why we got water into these communities. The water is the priority. We brought water tanks to collect or to harvest the rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since there's a very high population here in South Dara, which causes rubbish, and yeaah, waste. Then to the coral reefs, that's putting heavy pressure on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe go check one more house in the night. I think we might try to go back to the, uh, mansion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And dying in your beds many years from now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance? Just one chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My walk home was lengthened by a diversion in the direction of the cook, when beneath its walls


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I perceived decay has made progress, even in seven months. Many a window showed black gaps deprived of glass and slates jutted off here and there. Beyond the right line of the roof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three headstones on the slope next the moor, a middle one grey and half buried in the heath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Edgar Linton's only harmonized by the turf and moss creeping up to its foot. Heathcliff's still bare. I lingered round them, under that benign sky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watched the moth fluttering among the heath and hair vials, listened to the soft winds breathing through the grass, and wondered how anyone could ever imagine


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, hello there Miss Hemlock. Perhaps you'd like to slip into something more comfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you guys don't see much Wii Sports on my channel, so I figured I'd play Wii Sports today. I'm pretty sure all the last times, or last few times I've been playing Wii Sports, I've been going for the hardest platinum medal on the entire game, which is golf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you do the math there, you can't really screw up much. Today though, I decided, I'm giving myself a break from that, and we are going after the easiest platinum metal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Wii Sports. And this is the easiest according to the world record holder of Wii Sports all platinum medals. Put this in perspective, he went through all of these trainings. Every single one. So that's three times... five?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15, right, in my mat checking out. He went through all 15 of these and got-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Platinum metal, the highest metal on all of them in under one hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I asked him, Murr, and I'll leave a link to his Twitch channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the description if you ever want to watch him. But anyways, I asked him what the easiest platinum to get was. And after some debate, he ended up settling on working the bag as the easiest platinum. Although he did say that spin control is an easy one for him, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he had to reconsider because he was talking to me about what one was easiest. Now if I struggle, I'm trying to get the easiest platinum medal on Wii Sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just gonna be embarrassing. So Matt's gonna train me to work the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got my nunchuck already plugged in because I was ready for this. That didn't seem real good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what, I wonder what gets platinum. I'm trying really hard to work this bag, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder how, how do you get that power hit? I don't, I have no idea. I wonder what platinum is, it's probably like a hundred, and I'm only gonna have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my, my nunchuck cable keeps on hitting my microphone, so I don't know if it sounds like... Heck is breaking loose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that gets us bronze, so I'm gonna guess we need to be somewhere around 30? Why do we start so slow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I'm, I'm, I'm pretending I have like, I'm, well it's not really working that good. Well we did worse so, maybe, maybe the double, the double jerk off action isn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get that bag out of here, it's frickin' not centered. Why are these bags not centered anywhere? Put them right in front of me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were doing so good and then we still end up one more than usual. Two more than usual. Two more than usual. We were doing so good and then we just stopped. Good thing we're wasting time here, beefboss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're, we're halfway through our time, Beef Boss, and we hit four fucking bags. You know what that's on pace for? Eight!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish, it's literally like running in a dream, playing this game. You're just punching, you're trying to go as fast as you can, but you're not moving. Our hands are not moving. I'm fricking, I'm violently punching the air, and I'm getting like nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I swear to god if this punching bag was here in real life, I'd have better results than it's showing me in the game! Okay, I wanna know what the platinum is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The platinum is 40. It's 40 points and I can barely get past 15. We should be, so we're about halfway to the halfway point. We should be at 20. We should be at 22 and a half right now to be on pace for a platinum. We're at 7. Well, really we were at 6.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know why I'm trying right now. It's not like we're even remotely close. We got 17, that's our second best. Wow. We're really getting close to that platinum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, why don't we just love the, love, just love tap the bag. Just love tap the bag. We just took 10 seconds for one point. And we need 45 in 60 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know if this is 60 seconds. I assume it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're just, we're just sitting there slapping the bag like we're slapping a fat cock, dude! Hit the fucking thing! This is the hottest start ever, we have 3 in 15 seconds. It's almost on pace for... maybe 20. Actually, I don't even think that math maps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we just, now we're, now we're love tapping! Or miss it! It's a big fucking bag in front of your face!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were on a roll and then it just, it ended. The roll ended. We're a frickin' square rollin' now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New record. We tied our record. 18. That's as good as we can do. And it's still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even half the way to where we need to be. We are still...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seventeen short of where we need to be. Wait, does that mean we're halfway? Okay, we're halfway. We're halfway!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I know is we're not nearly on pace, we just hit end with 20 seconds left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think this is a minute though. I think this is like 30 seconds. I think we need, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flailing my left, my nunchuck in my, in my Wii remote in my hands. Like we're not even close! And Matt's not doing anything to help me, he thinks I'm doing good. Like what are we doing? We ran!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that there's much accomplishment to that, we're still 26 short! We're not even halfway there still!

[Assistant] I have a hard time believing this is the easiest platinum in the game. If this is the easiest platinum in the game, I don't think I can get a single fucking platinum. Have I ever gotten a platinum on Wii Sports?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did I get the one at batting practice where you gotta hit the home runs or hitting home runs? Didn't I get that platinum?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I got that platinum, but it might not be on- I'm on my Wii U right now. It might be on my Wii, not on my Wii U.

[Assistant] I'm gonna go to spin control. Before he told me, uh, working the bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His first answer was, was spin control. So I'm gonna try spin control. Maybe, I mean, it's at least gonna make me sweat less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's stage eight, right? We already, we already beat our record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wait, no. This is probably, we probably gotta get past this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's alright, we got past it! We're going for frickin' plat-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what platinum is though. I think I can go right over this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck. You cannot go right over that one. I think you can though, but... What does that give us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silver. That's, that's already better than we were doing at bowling, er, boxing in one try. So this is, this is probably the easiest plat now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh. Okay, we didn't screw up this early last time, but I don't know why I didn't do this right out the bat. I don't, I don't know why I tried. It cost me a ball. No, you're a packer! Stupid fucking wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not doing as good as last time. I don't think I lost, I think that was my first ball loss last time, and this time it's frickin' my


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, fourth already? What, do I only have one life left? I have two lives left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no lives left. We fucked up. There's no such thing as an easy platinum. I think they all suck. I'm not, and I'm not losing my patience to like, do the A, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turnie turnie to get these pins. I'm just gonna freakin' throw it and hope I get the right spin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're sucking my wiener. You're actually sucking my wiener. Badly. Badly! Really badly! Really badly!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, come on you bitch wall! We're living on edge here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the ball is still thinking about what it wants to do halfway down the lane. No, you should be carving by then. Ahh, I don't like any of these Platinums. I think all these are bullshit. I think I just shot a shotgun by landing it on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you just eeeeh, so lazily go that way! NO BITCH, I'M HARD! Stupid bitch ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no sense. I already lost, what, three lives through five lanes, and I need how many lanes to get the plat? Probably 20, something stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, now I'm impatient. I don't wanna wait. I'm tired of these first five lanes. Just let me skip them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on my face, you stupid ball! Stage 11. We lost one life. This is the one that screwed me last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I'm convinced this ball just does not wanna cooperate on this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess I could've done that from the start, but I didn't. Instead I lost a life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Years overflowing with money


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been in the family ever since, except for a short interval. It was expropriated in 1990.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that they want it to grow can be a burden. They are controlled by their own assets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion, that's absurd.
