[Assistant] Choi Yiting has been the official climate commissioner since 2010. He's alarmed by the changes caused by climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day the people of Kiribati will have to leave their country. The government has already purchased land on Fiji to provide them with refuge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day, Tatala and his three brothers have to carry their fishing boat into the sea. It's hard work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His mother, Muang Thai, and her granddaughter Anna often reminisce about the times before they were affected by climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The access road has been flooded for years. The family can only leave their property by boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sea is increasingly devouring unprotected tracts of land in the middle of the South Pacific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During storm surges, which occur once a month these days, the people of Kiribati are completely defenseless against the forces of nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mangrove forest in the south of Tarawa. Their knots of thin, strong roots make these tropical trees the perfect protection against soil erosion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a group of young people, climate activist Vasiti Tebamare wants to plant mangroves on the beach at Ambo during low tide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The young people here have grown up with climate change. They're scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The future prospects for Kiribati's young people are dire, but none of them want to leave their home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Protecting the coastline has become a national priority for the people of Kiribati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's no coherent plan and the government lacks the funds for long-term infrastructure measures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who can afford concrete have built a wall at their own expense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what Itimwimwe has done, a young entrepreneur from the village of Taborio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sea is calm today, but it's only a matter of time before the next storm surge arrives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tarawa is home to around 60,000 people, more than half the country's entire population.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Livable land is becoming increasingly sparse, says climate activist Vasiti.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In addition to climate change, overpopulation is one of the biggest problems on Tarawa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On average, a family here has five to six children. Almost every square meter of land on Tarawa has now been built on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2014, the effects of global warming on Kiribati attracted international attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ioana Teti Ota made a bid to become the world's first climate change refugee when he applied for asylum in New Zealand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though the situation in their home country has been getting progressively worse. It was a shock for the family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ioanna and his family have moved in with his sister, but they don't see a future for themselves on Kiribati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kiribati's first inhabitants settled here around 3,000 years ago. The majority came from Southeast Asia and Polynesia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The locals are a proud people who are attached to their traditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Abayang Atoll, around 50 kilometers to the north of Tarawa, is a different world. It's only sparsely populated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The village of Tibunginaco has become a symbol of the impending dangers of climate change. Over the past 20 years, rising sea levels have destroyed Cabo Ajon's home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tebonginako is still home to 70 families. It was the second largest village on Abayang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rising salinity from daily flooding has made the soil infertile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Kaboa wants to stay. It's not a question of courage. He just feels connected to his home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are lots of people on Abayang who don't have work. Caboa is here on behalf of the government. His job is to show people how to make palm sugar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Palm sugar is obtained from the sap, known locally as toddy, of the palm blossom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tacamba has to climb to the top of a 20 meter coconut palm to collect it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The government of Kiribati financed his training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up until now, locals have only used the fresh palm syrup for drinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The island of Abayang is the perfect place for producing palm sugar. There are thousands of coconut palms across the 37 kilometer island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The government has plans to export the palm sugar from Abayang around the world. Caboa secured important contacts at the World's Fair in Milan in 2015.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Women's rights activist and nutritionist, Tongafiti Cross, wants to fight that trend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two-thirds of Kiribati's population consumes a staple diet of fish and imported rice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A diet increasingly supplemented with high sugar foods, leading to rising rates of obesity and diabetes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nutritionist Tonga Fiti Cross's mission is far from over. She wants to share her knowledge in every village on Abayang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traditional community centres on Kiribati are called manyeba. The structures provide shade and protection against strong winds and rain. Abayang is home to one of the largest manyebas in the region. The environmental protection organisation Kirikan has invited representatives from several villages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Together they're seeking ways to ensure potable water supplies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The salinity of water supplies isn't the only problem. Supplying clean drinking water is another challenge. Village representatives present their solutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The village delegates are asked to vote. That's an important part of the process, says Kirikan's Australian development aid worker, Robert Kay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the next few months, every extended family will be supplied with their own water tank and solar panels to generate electricity, part of a program funded by International Aid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Marine Training Centre is a window of opportunity to a better life for many young Kiribati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up to 150 students train here every year to become seafarers, ship mechanics and cooks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drill at the training center is strict, as is the morning roll call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trainees have to rehearse a docking maneuver on the deck of a training ship today. Among them is 25-year-old Tamuera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seafarers from Kiribati are in demand, particularly on German vessels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six shipping companies from Hamburg have offices on Tarawa, supervised by Andrew Heinzen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trainees have to work hard for their dream all week long. The demands are great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tamuera only sees his wife and one-year-old daughter at the weekends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The training center has a good reputation on Kiribati, but even this modern complex faces increasing bouts of flooding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Human interference with nature with disastrous consequences. Not least because it's changed ocean currents. The Causeway is a costly, never-ending construction site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The primary school in Bonricci. Every morning begins with a prayer. More than 90% of Kiribati's population is Christian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what does the future hold for Kiribati's children? It's a subject addressed in primary schools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children's fears differ from those of their teacher, but they're all very concrete. She's scared of the future too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The children have drawn pictures to illustrate what they think will happen as a result of global warming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This girl tells us her home was flooded just last week. It happened while she was sleeping. Her mother woke her up and carried her out of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This girl says she's very scared about climate change. She believes many people are responsible for it, but as a child, there's nothing she can do about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The village of Bonriki has become increasingly susceptible to flooding after heavy rainfall. Often the high water lasts for days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trainee seafarer Tamuera and his wife Betahaua have bought a small house here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a crew member on a large container ship, Tamuera will be able to earn up to 700 US dollars a month. That will place him in Kiribati's middle class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tearaita and Mataiu light a three meter torch made of palm leaves on the beach at Tomaiku.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The warm light of the fire lures small, tasty reef fish into the shallow water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's rare that Tire writer and Matayo catch any fish with their traditional fishing method these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fishermen wonder whether climate change is to blame for that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marine biologist Arantei Tekiao has been investigating the health of the coral reefs around Tarawa and the surrounding atolls for more than 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using measuring tapes, he and his team regularly monitor coral growth and health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The polyps that make up the stony corals are among the winners of climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seem to be particularly happy in the waters around Kiribati.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A hope for Kiribati. But only healthy coral reefs can grow with the rising sea levels. They're natural breakwaters and provide important protection for the islands during major storm surges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a result, there are signs of degradation among weaker coral species in many reefs around Tarawa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The population is set to double on Tarawa over the next 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Climate coordinator Choi Yeating and the government of Kiribati face a huge challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Futuristic visions and exorbitantly expensive designs by international architects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It may be that in just 50 years, Kiribati will no longer exist. It could be the first country to be wiped off the map by climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you feel nervous a lot of the time. But the priority always is, especially when it comes down to the wire like it did in our semi-final, is that you stay cool, you stay collected and you give the answers when they come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, can I come to Conor's release then? No. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven people at the, at the stern, and the rest at the sprint, right? So let's start, two plus one. Let's go, sprint first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think his views are divisive. They are outrageous and I hope he loses badly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, my love's like a red red rose. That's nearly sprung in tears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Superstition was with me at that moment, but it was not yet her hour for complete victory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My blood was still warm, the mood of the revolted slave was still bracing me with its bitter vigour. I had to stem a rapid rush of retrospective thought before I quailed to the dismal present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All John Reed's violent tyrannies, all his sister's proud indifference, all his mother's aversion, all the servant's partiality, turned up in my disturbed mind, like a dark deposit in a turbid well. Why was I always suffering, always brow-beaten?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Georgiana, who had a spoiled temper, a very acrid spite, a captious and insolent carriage, was universally indulged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her beauty, her pink cheeks and golden curls, seemed to give delight to all who looked at her, and to purchase indemnity for every fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John no one thwarted, much less punished, though he twisted the necks of the pigeons, killed the little pea-chicks, set the dogs at the sheep, stripped the hothouse vines of their fruit, and broke the buds off the choicest plants in the conservatory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He called his mother old girl, too, sometimes reviled her for her dark skin, similar to his own, bluntly disregarded her wishes, not infrequently tore and spoiled her silk attire, and he was still her own darling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dared commit no fault, I strove to fulfill every duty, and I was termed naughty and tiresome, sullen and sneaking, from morning to noon, and from noon to night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My head still ached and bled with the blow and fall I had received. No one had reproved John for wantonly striking me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because I had turned against him to avert further irrational violence I was loaded with general opprobrium. Unjust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, said my reason, forced by the agonizing stimulus into precocious, though transitory power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And resolve, equally wrought up, instigated some strange expedient to achieve escape from insupportable oppression, as running away, or if that could not be affected, never eating or drinking more, and letting myself die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How all my brain was in tumult, and all my heart in insurrection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet in what darkness, what dense ignorance, was the mental battle fought? I could not answer the ceaseless inward question, why I thus suffered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had nothing in harmony with Mrs. Reed or her children, or her chosen vassalage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they did not love me, in fact, as little did I love them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A heterogeneous thing, opposed to them in temperament, in capacity, in propensities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A useless thing, incapable of serving their interest or adding to their pleasure. A noxious thing, cherishing the germs of indignation at their treatment, of contempt of their judgement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was past four o'clock, and the beclouded afternoon was tending to drear twilight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard the rain still beating continuously on the staircase window, and the wind howling in the grove behind the hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What thought had I been but just conceiving of starving myself to death? That certainly was a crime. And was I fit to die?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the vault under the chancel of Gateshead Church an inviting-borne? In such vault I had been told did Mr. Reed lie buried, and led by this thought to recall his idea, I dwelt on it with gathering dread.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could not remember him, but I knew that he was my own uncle, my mother's brother, that he had taken me, when a parentless infant, to his house, and that in his last moments he had required a promise of Mrs. Reed that she would rear and maintain me as one of her own children. Mrs. Reed probably considered she had kept this promise, and so she had, I dare say, as well as her nature would permit her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how could she really like an interloper, not of her race, and unconnected with her after her husband's death by any tie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must have been most irksome to find herself bound by a hard-rung pledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To stand in the stead of a parent to a strange child she could not love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see an uncongenial alien permanently intruded on her own family group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've experienced myself how you can suddenly connect with people previously out of reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was born near Bambeck and grew up in a small village. Normally in villages you do the sports available. And when I was around 15, 16, my role models were Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone. That's how I came to the fitness world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the initial idea, and I had big goals. I wanted to be number one in Europe, but that's all I had. I didn't have financing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wurzburg was a big step for me. I opened my first fitness studio there under the slogan, now also in Wurzburg, which people saw through as a marketing gag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because customers came to me and asked where else we had studios.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I gave it some thought and came up with the next marketing gag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon also in Erlangen. That did the job and also put me on track to going from Würzburg to Erlangen. And then it grew from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The investor would probably pick a brand and say, okay, that could work, I like it, although it's probably two steps too far for many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if someone doesn't want to get involved with us because of it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm convinced that you have an easier time if you've fought your way to the top and to success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is why I can also imagine that someone who inherits something or takes over, or even has to take over a company in the second or third generation, will have a much tougher time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trend's sort of over. It was big in 2016, already fading in 2017, and it's been stagnating in 2018. But it's not the worst product we have, and it still brings in some revenue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm often asked whether I feel competitive toward my father. And sure, he built up this big company that I'll only take over. But it's really difficult to keep something going these days. The founding period has its own challenges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just having the idea of founding a self-service drugstore was hugely innovative. But the fight to survive has gotten tougher, and that's the one I'm in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's also shaped our view of life, or mine at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Mirai is Japanese and means the future. We think it's a perfect fit for the whole concept and vision, because what we want to create here is truly unique and has never been done before. Our goal is to become the world's fitness center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An event like that will haunt you always for the rest of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a moral responsibility. I was the organizer. If I could turn back time, I would do it. Immediately, with the scale of what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can't make it undone. You have to try to deal with what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's such a sad and strange time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just wanting to tell jokes and be light, but it's getting harder and harder to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's so many people suffering right now and all victims of all these hurricanes and obviously this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shooting and, and, uh, earthquakes and it's just, uh, you know, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, yes, it's strange to be talking about a film, but I can't imagine how you must feel being from Las Vegas right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was that? That's such an interesting place to be from. What was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. A lot or? Yeaah, but I remember, uh, the first time I went I stayed, I like old Las Vegas when I first started going there. Yeaah, sure. I stayed at a Golden Nugget. Wow. And I saw Don Rickles at the Stardust. Awesome. Well I, I mean I, when I say saw,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, we went, we were very, very high up and I was with a friend and he was just so desperate to make contact. He just, in a, in a, in a lull, not a lull, but a quiet point of the show, he just yelled, yelled Rickles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he had that amazing ability to make you feel like, you know, like you just experienced some magic trick by him insulting you. You did experience magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Never mind breakfast. I just remember I'm mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tuck it down and you took the wedge right out of my mouth. That's exactly what I'm gonna start doing tomorrow. You watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She isn't? Why, is she sick? Yeaah. Sick of my glocklings. What? Oh, you're kidding. I am, am I? Well, suppose you just scat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does Kerry know about this? I told you to scat. Now when I say scat, I mean scat. So, scat. Okay. Say Ken. Yes, sir? Don't get no idea in your head your man can beat sundown. There ain't no horse can touch him when he's going good. That's what you think. That's what I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's exactly what we're doing. Pull up to the wire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not bad. Not bad at all. Pretty good in fact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing like the smell of the fairgrounds and trotting season, or a good cigar. You didn't think I'd make it, did you, Decker? Well, I fooled you, just like I'm gonna fool everybody else. Yes, ma'am. We'll have my farm back in Connecticut, I'll follow the Grand Circuit, and you'll have a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do believe I put this one off long enough. It's actually kinda sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We only have two sports left and I've gone pro in every sport on Wii Sports Resort. And the last two or another two I don't think I've ever gone pro in before. The Wii Remote's acting extra special today it seems like, so that's exciting. I'm not quite sure what you gotta do to bicycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not looking forward to it, to be honest. Uh, it seems to me like this is gonna try to work me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I ain't much of a worker outer here. I'm still not feeling the best. I got a little bit of a cold still hanging on, but I think I'm good enough to do some cycling. I don't know what the difference between one stage or two stage or whatever. Some nice, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh. Some nice shots and music at least. I don't need practice, it looks like we just gotta go up and down with our Wii Remote and Nunchuck. I hope to God this is easy, and Beat Boss is no skill level by the way, so we're good. Holy crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness, we're gonna be biking for a while, aren't we? And this is just the first one? Well, fuck me. 30th place, here we go. Save energy by drifting behind a cyclist in front of you. Ooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like Mario Kart. It's like Mario Kart Wii, but bikes. V-Bots can only pedal for like five seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get out of my way, frickin' klutzy. Whatever the hell stars around your head means. Everyone, these people have like no bike etiquette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like why are all these people, do they die? Are they dying on their bike? And did that just say beef boss in the road? Uh oh, now we're not. Oh, I hit a banana. There's BANANAS!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this? This is actually Mario Kart! Get out of my way, bananas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about we stay on the road, people? Oh, we're died. We're dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end there, we couldn't stop leaning from side to side. What do we get for that? What is the experience we get for doing the best? 50. Well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already don't like cycling. I do like this music though. I, I, I'm, I don't know if I've ever heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This cycling map music right here. It is very groovy compared to the normal Wii Sports music. Oh, you can actually slow down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BANANAS! Dude, who, who's dropping bananas for real though? Why does that person look like a ghost? And there's rocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you- how do you musical note bike ride? Look at Lucia's bike, it's more aerodynamic. With those wheels that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those wheels don't have spokes, so they're more efficient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A happy spot where you can just like, burst fire your, your petals. And you never really use all your stamina, I think. I think I figured that out, but I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did as good as we can do. I'm gonna guess 50 experience points. Another 50. I almost, I, I don't even wanna skip this cause it has such good music. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's who we need to be biking behind. Freaking looking at Abby's ass work on the bike. Jesus. That person's bringing a pizza delivery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there is no Abby. How about we just stay behind you the whole time? Look at that can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, I thought Pierre from the back was Abby and I was totally looking at his ass. That's an honest mistake, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't that, isn't this a French thing? Another 50 experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now we can go to the next two tracks, it looks like. Just don't hesitate, just ride right off it. Yeah, this seems safe. I believe that wouldn't kill us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop blowing the whistle at me! I can't pedal the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because then Beatbox is gonna become exacerbated. Okay, I'm curious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Not much happens if you go off the edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beef Boss, Beef Boss, Beef Boss, can you? Beef Boss, can you go straight in a line? We're gonna get pulled over for drunk biking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if we're gonna get first on this one. We're way behind. How far from the end are we? Uh oh, hopefully not too close. Oh, that is the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just in time, we pulled out that first. So even though we've gotten first on all four of these, it doesn't unlock the next one. That doesn't, doesn't make any sense, but okay. I guess we'll do a three stage race. I'm guessing that means we have to do three in one. That's my bold guess here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see how long this is. We get the extended version of this song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I guess it's three separate races in one. Oh man, this is going to be a pain in the dick. Oh, we're in 50th place too. There's 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Banana. We can not help it but to hit bananas. Uh oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was almost rainbow road right there going over the edge. We are not doing good. Dude, how are you supposed to get up to first? Well, I got up to 29th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not very good, but apparently some people are miles ahead of me, like how am I gonna do that? But I don't know if it matters. Does it only matter that I get up to first by the end?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not gonna start at 50 again. 50th place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are all just the same tracks that we just did, but now together in three different days of racing. How exciting. Yeah, we keep our place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, someone is hogging my ass air right now. I see their head pop up. In the bottom of my screen. I know they're just freeloading off me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're up to 13th now, surely we can get to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First by the end of this last day, right? I hope this, this gives you like 500 experience points for getting first place because otherwise I'm going to make the bold claim right now that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This will go down as the most boring sport to go pro in on Wii Sports Resort. Because other than hitting a banana or the potential of falling off the edge, not much happens. You're just riding a fucking bike and it's not like you're on this quick, it's not like you're on baby park or something. You're on fricking rainbow road. It's a long course. Now we're getting close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's, let's ride the fucking bike now. There we go, that's the kind of effort I like to see. Fritz, suck my ritz. Anna! Anna!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Wow, I just used all my energy to pass Anna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, we are not gonna get first. I don't know how we're gonna catch ol' frickin' droopy George, whoever the hell. Some woman up here. Anna might even beat us at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, get her, get her wind. Yeaah. Tomoko. Get Tomoko's wind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not tight enough, or not, not too tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, all that time. So we did all three together and went all the way to first. Ended in first. What do we get for that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oof, is what I have to say about this one right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One stage race up the volcano has been unlocked. Well, let's try that instead because at least there's some more instant gratification doing the one stage races. Because that is not, I mean that should be worth 150 experience points, shouldn't it not? You just did three, you did a three for one, it should be worth 150 plus a bonus. Instead it's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how we're not always drifting right now, or like, regenning because everyone is here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't see in front of me when you give me this camera angle. This is a big turn right here, holy shit. I do not want to go off the edge!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stop pushing me! That's foul play, Fritz!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, don't, don't steer like an idiot now. Okay, we got-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my! Oh my! Frisk passed us! Thankfully, somehow after the finish line, according to the game, we got first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing is, well now we didn't even get, we didn't even get the next race. So we have to do a three stage race again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, this game, oh man. So we have to repeat something, I don't know what. You know, this wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't incredibly frickin' boring. Cycling can eat my ass, to be honest with you. It can eat my sick ass. What am I at? 350 experience points? So I'm not even-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Close to halfway. Okay. What happens if we do, let's just do to the beach again. Let's see if it gives me another 50. Like overall, overall here. Why did so many people just commit freaking bike aside into the damn river? But I was about to say there's not much going on. I'm just occasionally flopping my nunchuck and we remote up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get a little boosted, oop, jump, get a little boosted speed. You know, it's, it's riding a bike. I don't like riding bikes in real life because the seat always makes my, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes my legs fall asleep or my ass fall asleep. And I tell you what's the weirdest thing. I got a Peloton, right? And I made sure to even buy a third party...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seat for it. A bigger seat. For my bigger ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dick falls asleep and it hurts. It hurts really bad. And for that reason I try not to peloton too often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I do, I have to be really careful to not sit down for too long, otherwise my wiener is gonna hate me. And like, when your wiener falls asleep,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got first. Oh, we actually get 50 for that still. Okay. And now we got to the next stage one. Okay, you know, things are, things are looking alright right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BANANA! Banana causes BeatBoss to die. I don't think I'm gonna get first this time. I'm way behind. I don't know what I've been doing, but not racing very well apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna hit a banana. That does not help my case. Yeah, we ain't getting first!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yikes. Not really, Vincenzo. Not really a nice job there. Does that still give me 50 experience points by some stretch? No, it gives me 26.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's my issue with riding a motherfucking bike. It's boring. It's why I don't ride a bike in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I know! Toot, toot, toot, toot! I'm just trying to turn! Jesus, I don't want to power through a turn and go off the edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oop, that's, that killed a lot of people. Ah! It almost killed me. It still might. Get, get straightened out, straightened out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like we could've made a dash for the front here, but instead we're making a dash for our ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we did better. Fourth. Man, that one's hard to get first. At least it's worth forty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I do a round the island and get 50 points? Can I just do that over and over again? That's probably my best bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are- are- ooh, is that a shortcut down there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems like a long cut of a shortcut. What do we got first? What do I get for that? Do I still get 50?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I didn't run into the ass end of so many people's bikes, I'd probably be a Jeff Gordon out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But instead, I'm a frickin' Rami McRam ass. First again, I like this track.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to say I like any of them in particular, but at least I can consistently get first at this one. Do I still get 50 experience points?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I do this just a hundred more fucking times I'll be there. I am, I am so over at like, at this point I feel like I'm pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just semantics of getting the points. It's so repetitive. It is so boring. I'm done. I'm done. I can't, I can't mentally torture myself and try to like, there is absolutely no content coming out of this right now. It's me riding a bike. Nothing happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Bronte. I wish, I wish I'd never be born. I wish I'd never come to Thornfield, no longer able to control my feelings. I poured out what was in my heart. I can't bear to leave because here I've been treated kindly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And because I've met you, Mr. Olshesta, and I can't bear never to see you again. Now, I have to leave. I feel like as if I'm dying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe this woman fed poison to Constance Monassio, who died yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gentlemen, I know this woman well. She is my wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must tell you my secret. My true name is not Ethos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Treville is the only man in Paris who knows my real name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gentlemen, last night you heard Madame Bonassio say my name. I am the Comte de l'Affaire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I married this woman here when she was only 16 years old and she was as lovely as an angel. She lived with her brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was a religious man in a town where I was the official.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had recently come to the town and nobody knew where they came from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still, she was so beautiful and her brother was so good that nobody asked them about their past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fell in love with her when I first saw her and married her even though my family did not want me to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In our first months together, I quickly discovered that her lovely face hid a terrible heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had never let me see her body in the light before, and I learned why. On her shoulder she had a tattoo. It was the mark of death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] saying that she was going to be executed she told me that she had been a thief


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she admitted that she had stolen the money from a church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a high official, and in my land I had the power of life and death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I tied her hands and legs and hung her on a tree, and left her there to die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you can see, my friends, she did not die then. Although, I believe that she did. Are you sure that this is the same woman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For helping me get Mr. Dreppy, of course, along with RV, and I will also be reviewing SigAlert in the near future thanks to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the back here, of course we just had Mr. Drippy himself and RV. Now these two cars, like I talked about in my review of RV


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I think it's now time to get onto the review here. So let's start here with the expression. I'm not a big fan of his expression. He is kind of a funny character in the movie, and this just looks kind of boring to me. Can't really tell if it's like a smile. I guess it's kind of a smile, but I feel like they could've... Oh my goodness. What was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, I feel like they could have conveyed a lot more emotion in his expression, and they just didn't. Like, Arby's expression is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you guys know what that last word there is on the top line, let me know because I cannot read it. But anyway, I do like the little, you know, raindrop there of water with the smiley face. That looks cool. That face conveys more expression than Mr. Drippy's expression himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does say here diesel 8 with the gear logo around it, so I guess that's like the fuel that he uses. Of course, headlights right here. Pretty typical looking grill. Some lights here on the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It definitely looks like H-I-P-P-Y, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Need a bath hippie? Call Mr. Drippy, so I guess it must be hippie because, I dunno, it's supposed to rhyme or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also says diesel 8 over there as well, and you do have some more mud and dirt around the fenders. I do like his rims, they're very cool. We haven't really seen anything like these, and I think they look very realistic as well. He has these two like little barrels here on either side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never quite found out what those barrels are used for, but anyway, moving on to the back half of them, I like the red lights here, you know, for caution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, I don't think this guy has any moving parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would've, or he could've had moving parts, I feel like it would've been a nice opportunity, but I just don't think he does, unfortunately. On the back here, he's also a little dirty and dusty, you can see that the blue has faded a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Down here it's a little bit cleaner than up top here. Makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knee the bath, hippie up, that definitely says hippie. Call Mr. Drippy, and we have the little raindrop there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just be careful because you might accidentally break it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does have some logos down here and whatnot. It says caution, with some stuff that I can't read below. His license plate is H2O4U, so a pretty straightforward license plate right there. No need to decipher that, right guys? H2O means water and then 4U, so water 4U.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makes sense. Then there's a yellow circle with what looks to be a green piston on top of it. And then it looks like there's some text going around the piston. I can't read that at all, but yea, it's kind of interesting. I just don't know what it means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course we have the caution bumper down here, very nice. I really do like his mudflaps because they are labeled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trucco. You do have the like globe behind Trucco there with the banner sticking out as well. Very nice. Something that we don't get much are mudflaps that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now on the base here, of course you have the normal codes. The front half of him is put together with rivets and the back portion is put together with screws. So, pretty interesting there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, two rivets, that makes sense because he's on metal as well. Dr. Damage, he has one rivet and two screws. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, nice kind of change of pace there because now we have four different things. So that's pretty much it for Mr. Drippy. I'm not entirely sure if I like him more than RV. I really like RV, the expression, just that he's all metal. I mean, Mr. Drippy, it makes sense that they couldn't do this portion in metal, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making him very hard to find like another car to compare him to. Let me know in the comment section below if I'm overlooking something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Won't be a bad thing and I keep balancing it out a little bit because Ms. Fridger's kind of alone where she is right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let me know in the comment section below, who do you prefer out of the four of these now, and who do you prefer between these two, RV or Mr. Drippy, since they're both the newer deluxes here. I think out of the four, it's gotta be Ms. Fritter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then RV and then probably Mr. Drippy. I'm sorry, Dr. Damage. And then out of these two I have to go with RV just because he looks a little bit cooler in my opinion. Come on. Mr. Drippy, you're going to get center stage. It's your video today. It's your video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quick four day vacation, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Maybe I'll do a vlog, maybe not, it really depends on how much new footage, or not really new, but like footage of interesting stuff I can gather. I am, I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People in Canada, like my friends in Canada, they say like, you don't wanna come here and look for cars because we don't get anything good. I understand that, but I'm still excited because it's just a new experience for me being an American. Alright guys, I'll catch you guys next time for another video. Bye now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to take a look at though. Should I read the description again? Nah, I'm just kidding. So let's talk about the availability of these two in stores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None on the back window to having two lines just like Jax. I don't have that Cruz Ramirez on hand though right now to show. I just have so much stuff on my table. I've been trying to work on so many videos and I've been getting a lot of stuff in the mail and it's just like overflowing. I have my usual table where I just put my purchases on and then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] February and January, so that was a long time ago. I can't believe it's already been like seven months since I got my original Jackson Storm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, I'm not really going to be reviewing them in this video because of that. You can just take a look at those videos. But we'll do a quick overview here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm definitely not tired of getting McQueen just yet. I mean, I'm sure I probably will because he's just regular and I'm sure I'll probably find more and get more multi-packs and whatnot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now in my opinion it would have been kind of cool if they had him be the Rusty's paint job, you know the paint job at the beginning of Cars 3 where he has like the different Rusty's paint job or like the decals I should say because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think they should. I don't really want to dive full into details about like who wins Pissed & Cops and when they do win them because that's obviously spoilers for the movie. I'll probably talk about that in a separate video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And trust me, it doesn't spoil the movie. And we know McQueen has won plenty of Piston Cups in his past before Cars 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, these two releases don't spoil it at all. I know people have been asking, will they do a cruise or mirrors? And I'm going to just say, they might, they might not. And that doesn't spoil the movie, I'm just saying that I could see them doing it, but I could also see them not doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure if you guys have seen the movie, then you'll probably understand. Just make sure you think of the entire movie, including the end credits and everything, when you think if they could make a Piston Cup, Cruz Ramirez type of deal. It'd also be nice to get Jackson Storm with those Piston Cup decals, I'm sure. I'm sure they'll do that, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, it'll take a while. It'll probably be like an exclusive or something in like a specific set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It reminds me of when Chick Hicks got that, like, kachow, that, like, cloud decal on his, like, front corners. They were going to release that, but they never did, unfortunately. And I'm kinda surprised that they never did, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just really hope Mattel releases him this time and doesn't cancel him like with a chick kick. So this is going to be pretty much a review of the Piston Cup here because that's what's new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I absolutely love this Piston Cup. Definitely in scale with the cars as you can see. We'll put a picture on the screen of when Chick Hicks had his Piston Cup because I feel like that is the most like accurate to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, like, it's the best we have. Like the best picture of a car with a pissing cup. And so it definitely looks like this right here. So perfect scaling job. And I just love the engraving pissing cup right there. It is so clear. You can see pissing cup kind of like in black there where they painted out the engraving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, they're not going to do that on the diecast because they weren't shown the movie, so no one really has the right to complain, I guess, and yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just going to save the money there and just write Pissing Cup Champion so they don't have to change it for, you know, every character that they do it for. They can just keep it the same. I mean, it looks nice and it says like that very nicely there, but just a little bit unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that's a long title. I'll show you guys that in just one second here, but I just want to take a look at what it says while we're zoomed in. And it says Hudson Hornet Champion 1952. So not only do we get the name Hudson Hornet, we get the year as well. It would have been nice if it said like 2017 or 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might have evolved, like, over the years, like, this is from 1952, so they might not use the exact same, like, lettering on the bottom, but it's pretty similar, as you can see with the black base there, and the gold and everything, the one on the right here from the San Diego Comic-Con,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, it's not deep enough. Nope, not deep enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see if this is any deeper. I think it looked a little deeper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, not that much deeper, but it just doesn't look as nice inside. It looks like it's still like gold pretty much, whereas this is silver. So, there you go. It's probably better on the San Diego Comic-Con version because it's San Diego Comic-Con and therefore it's more expensive and it's made for like the exclusive and everything. And I just dropped something on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here we go. Here's where it came from. There were three of them in the set, and they're the same exact size, so they use the same mold. They just, you know, didn't put the same text on it. But yeah, came in this nice little plastic set right here. And then, if I can get it in there. Can I get it in there guys? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having some di- there we go. Then you slide in the little podium there. And then you have the stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That looks sweet and then you gotta put Doc Hutz in there as well. Just an awesome set. Very, very cool to feature Doc Hutz in and all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doc Hudson and those piston cups are pretty awesome, of course, being the precision series as well. Now Mattel has done piston cups before, starting in 2009.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I do not have the Chick Hicks one out of the package. I only have one in the package. I need to get one to open up. And I will eventually, I'm sure, but I just really have a hard time opening stuff up from back in the day. So here we have the key, and it says right on the bottom there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The King Champion, very nice. Of course, though, it's a lot smaller than the new version, and Piston Cup is not as visible. Like, it's engraved in there alright, but it's definitely not really visible at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New version more, I should say, because it has the better writing, but I just wish they'd put the name on there like McQueen Champion or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was around $4, like whatever, you know, you'd find like McQueen now, like the equivalent of that back then because the prices have always fluctuated, but now they're charging $6 for these ones with the big trophies, so I feel like that is just super unreasonable because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you guys think? But yea, these are C- because of availability, the distribution pretty much, like what I talked about, and where is the name? I mean, maybe if this was a lower price, it'd be more justified, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way it's priced, they should have the names on there of the cars. Now here is Fabulous Lightning McQueen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you have the bad quality reading of pissing cup there, it's smaller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I like to see. So thank you guys so much, DonkoBlue43, especially you, because you have that amazing YouTube channel and you help me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were the cards, exclusives there, which are already being shipped to me from the amazing Gimme Collectibles, and they will most likely arrive tomorrow, which is probably when you're seeing this, and therefore I will get that review out to you guys probably on like Wednesday, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I forget how to drink water. This is Wii Sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Resort. We are continuing the series in which I get pro in every single sport on Wii Sports Resort. Last time was golf. So today is bowling. So bowling is the last of the staple sports, I would say. Power cruising, canoeing, cycling, and air sports is going to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when you go pro with a Mii on standard game, does it transfer over to like spin control? So let me test this real quick. So if I go to spin control with BeatBoss who we know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has skill level. No, it doesn't. You would have to go pro in every subcategory. Well, for today, I'm just gonna do standard game. We're going pro in standard game. What me we choose, I don't know. Wait, he's only 175?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess we did not play much bowling on Wii Sports Resort. We did a lot on Wii Sports. We'll try Doody Dude manual throwing, right? I don't know. LEFT HANDED! We're not left handed. Why did I pick that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Skill level zero, perfect. Doody Dude is our guy. Before we get into bowling, I do want to remind you guys that tomorrow, February 4th, that's Saturday, February 4th at 2pm Eastern, the button chuck is going up on my website, available for pre-order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is $24.99. There is only a limited amount. And also along with the bun chuck, there is the bun doll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bundle is the only way to get the Beef Remote V2 that has been updated to look like the Bun Chuck. There is the signed Bundle and then the unsigned Bundle. So tomorrow at 2 PM Eastern, that is Saturday, February 4th, 2 PM Eastern,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pre-orders open. These will not ship until late March to early April. Limited quantities of both, in particular the bundles. So if you want one, be sure to get yours as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now I'm gonna start bowling. I'm gonna go for that, uh, pro status in bowling, which probably shouldn't be that hard I would think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not going to be easy at first because I'm going to give myself splits and totally, okay, well, I'm going to restart. Okay, I suck. I got, uh, yeah, I did not do that. I got two per-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got two perfect games in a row on Wii Sports Bowling by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm starting to question my bowling. The dynamics of why does that keep happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dynamics of Wii Sports Resort Bowling seem way different than Wii Sports. Not gonna lie. I'm just gonna go straight tactic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good pick up, it was one pin just standing there. Look at beefboss, let's see if he gets a strike. Oh, he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a butt-licker, beef-boss. Way to frickin' show off. And that was for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm not doing this. How, how can forward be deceived with backwards? Oh yeah, there, there's finally our throw. So as I was gonna say in the beginning, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are we? Why are you going backwards so many times? It would be really cool to get a perfect game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 203. It's like having a good game in real life. So it's really not great in Wii Sports. But that's 200!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is because I get frustrated on empty frames. When I could still probably play through the game and gain experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna restart because I'm just not happy with myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, I just want to restart every time it's not a strike. I'm so used to going for that perfect game when I just restart after every time I didn't get a strike. So it's just restart after restart after restart. And that's my instinct when, uh, playing bowling now. I'm trying to moon ball it a little bit. Ah, what? No, no, ah, ah. An empty frame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's impossible to predict. It's a literal box of chocolates. What my ball's gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not satisfied, I'm not happy with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand what you want from me. All of a sudden we're going right, we're going left, there's no consistency. Then we're going right! Ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, we didn't even fumble that bag. That pin is just a dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing. If it wasn't for that one spare, we're at like a bazillion in a row right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeah, let's see what we're gonna do here. What the fuck is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What an absolute train wreck, the backside of this-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is it suddenly, we were getting strike after strike and then suddenly those stopped being strikes and started being just like diarrhea splits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another 200. Why is BeatBoss always bowling next to me? I'm starting to think there's a giant conspiracy theory going on behind the scenes of this Wii Sports bowling alley. As to why BeatBoss is always in the lane next to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all the me's on my council, but it's always beef bros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, let's, let's just do this and see if I can...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my head I had it, and I think I was doing the right thing, but this is such a doo-doo game that I'm not gonna even continue on with that one. Beef Boss is bowling next to me again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. No, this is exactly what happened last time too. We had a perfect throw, for some reason it left this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, nevermind. We're not getting a bunch of strikes after, instead it's just going downhill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I thought I might add that, but of course I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course that wasn't a strike. Of course that's gonna be a banana split.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've had so many open frames now because I'm getting absolutely screwed. Where are you going? You don't, you don't, you never, you rarely go right. But sometimes you do and it screws me up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, of course you don't fall, Tenpin. Why would you? You're, you're glued to the floor. Every time, you're the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know it wasn't. It was one pin just sitting there. 177, let's see this. Still get 156 out of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have probably been pro six times over if I didn't restart any games. Because apparently it doesn't take much to gain experience in bowling. It would be nice to get a perfect game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't believe I've ever gotten the perfect game on Wii Sports Resort. I got my- No, no, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed! Get that shit off my screen!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, I picked up another spare on a split.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If spares are what we're going for, we're doing a great job on this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh lord. I don't know, this is my, what, sixth split on this game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was only my third, by the way. I exaggerate things by twice the size. So when I say my wiener is, uh, eight inches, you know what I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I PICK UP THREE SPLIT SPARES BUT CAN'T HIT FRIGGIN' FOUR PINS TOGETHER. That's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a great throw to start. Half the pins aren't participating in the sport of bowling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, yeah. I-I go from throwing strikes to throwing it backwards, like I don't know how to play the game. Yeah, figures, that screws me up too. Thanks, game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that might be our best one. I think that'll be... Yea, 227, look at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nooo. No, no, no. I want my last game to be a good game. I don't want it to actually be mediocre. Excuse me? Excuse me, 7pin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wanna restart, cause I think I'm gonna get a perfect game right here. And that will piss me off if it starts with- It won't be a perfect game when you start with a spare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, nevermind. I thought, I feel like we're in the zone right now, but one pin always seems to be just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A douche. We probably already guaranteed going pro here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Funny, funny how one, one pin, one pin keeps ruining it. Every single one of my spares has just been one pin this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What an ending to the game. Don't gotta deal with that spare, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This in ping pong. I'm pro. We did it. Hooray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took down Gear God! Amazing!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Big Boss, I'm so honored by your words!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, just don't choke this one beef. Kinda choke that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The day that we left for Devonshire, Holmes came to the train station to tell us goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir Henry and Doctor Mortimer told Holmes that no one had followed them since the first day. One of Sir Henry's shoes was still missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just before we left, Holmes told Sir Henry, Make sure you do not go out on the moor at night, and do not go anywhere alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While they were talking, I checked to see that I had my gun with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The journey to Devonshire was fast and very pleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were met at Newtown station and began our journey to Baskerville Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The countryside that we drove through was beautiful, full of trees and flowers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We saw a soldier on horseback who was carrying a gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Mortimer asked our driver why the soldier was there and why he had a gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A dangerous man has escaped from the prison, sir, he told us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name is Selden, and he's the one who did that murder in London not long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been free for three days by now, and people are frightened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we are trying to protect ourselves in case he attacks. I remembered the case well. It had been a terrible murder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought of this killer walking around on the empty wild moor close to the town. I felt more and more uncomfortable in this place. The beautiful green fields were behind us, and we were now on the cold open moor. Everything was gray and empty looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were large, sharp stones sticking up out of the hard ground, like the teeth of some huge animal. A cold wind was blowing, and night was falling. Sir Henry put his coat on. He looked as worried as I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At last we reached the road that led to Baskerville Hall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a dark, long path and the black shapes of old trees were on each side of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their branches stretched out over us like thin hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of this road, we could see the great house standing. There were some lights on in the windows, but the house still looked frightening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know why my Uncle Charles believed that he was in great danger here. This is not a house for normal men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not a welcoming place, said Sir Henry seriously. His voice shook a little as he spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baskerville Hall was a huge building with a large main entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the building was covered in dark green vines of ivy because the house was very old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pale light shown through the large, thick windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome, Sir Henry. Welcome to Baskerville Hall, your home. Barrymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head servant and his wife had come out of the house and were waiting for us. They took our possessions into the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, Dr. Mortimer told us goodbye, because he was going home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir Henry and I went into a large room with beautiful old furniture. A large fire was burning cheerfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside, Baskerville Hall had seemed strange and frightening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But once we were inside, the house seemed more welcoming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our old family home is just as I thought it would be, Sir Henry said. Barrymore took us to our rooms. The head servant had a black beard and was tall, thin, and handsome. After we had washed and changed our clothes, we went to the dining room for dinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dining room was huge and needed more lights to make it more cheerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the walls were pictures of Sir Henry's ancestors, the Baskervilles of the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the ancestors had angry, stern looks on their faces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we ate, they looked down on us and did nothing to help our hunger. After dinner, we decided to go to bed. In my bedroom, I looked out of my window. There was a strong wind on the moor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I could see the clouds moving quickly across the sky in the light of the pale, cold moon. It was a long time before I was able to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the middle of the night, I woke up and heard the sound of a woman crying. The sound was not far away, and was certainly in the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was tired and thirsty, and his mouth was dry as dust. There's no water, he thought, just dust. Dust in my mouth, dust everywhere. Trump, Trump, Trump, went his booth. Don't stop walking, he told himself. I can't stop. I mustn't stop. I'll rest when I get home. Mother will make tea, and then I can rest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a little boy, younger than you, who knows six psalms by heart. When you ask him which he would rather have, a gingerbread nut to eat, or a verse of a psalm to learn, he says, Oh, the verse of a psalm, angels sing psalms, says he, I wish to be a little angel, here below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you must pray to God to change it. To give you a new and clean one. To take away your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe I intimated in the letter which I wrote to you three weeks ago, that this little girl has not quite the character and disposition I could wish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should be glad if the superintendent and teachers were requested to keep a strict eye on her, and above all to guard against her worst fault, a tendency to deceit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mentioned this in your hearing, Jane, that you may not attempt to impose on Mr. Brocklehurst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well might I dread, well might I dislike Mrs. Reed, for it was her nature to wound me cruelly. Never was I happy in her presence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However carefully I obeyed, however strenuously I strove to please her, my efforts were still repulsed, and repaid by such sentences as the above.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, uttered before a stranger, the accusation cut me to the heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dimly perceived that she was already obliterating hope from the new phase of existence which she destined me to enter. I felt, though I could not have expressed the feeling


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That she was sowing aversion and unkindness along my future path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw myself transformed under Mr. Brocklehurst's eye into an artful, noxious child, and what could I do to remedy the injury? Nothing, indeed, thought I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I struggled to repress a sob, and hastily wiped away some tears, impotent evidences of my anguish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She shall, however, be watched, Mrs. Reed. I will speak to Miss Temple and the teachers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should wish her to be brought up in a manner suiting her prospects, continued my benefactress, to be made useful, to be kept humble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the vacations, she will, with your permission, spend them always at Lowood. Your decisions are perfectly judicious, madam. Return to Mr. Brocklehurst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I therefore direct that special care shall be bestowed on its cultivation amongst them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have studied how best to mortify in them the worldly sentiment of pride, and only the other day I had a pleasing proof of my success.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My second daughter, Augusta, went with her ma'amah to visit the school, and on her return she exclaimed,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh dear, Papa, how quiet and plain all the girls at Low Wood Lock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With their hair combed behind their ears and their long pinafores,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And those little Holland pockets outside their frocks, they're almost like poor people's children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, said she, they looked at my dress and Mama's, as if they had never seen a silk gown before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weekends were no good because of the Sabbath, so take Monday as a travel day and voila, vote on Tuesdays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now my cares are multiplied by two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow this feeling...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I really mean the whole world to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was your life a bore before I knew you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I made you cry, I'm sorry. It was just another foolish quote. Won't you end it with a kiss and just remember this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And don't let your heart listen to the things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't buy that song about romance. They're trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Springtime Ballyhoo, it's sugar-coated danger, that jive they're sendin' through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moonlight propaganda, and it ain't good for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You better run like mad, cause it's moonlight propaganda. It's murder from the skies. It gets into your dreams, and before you realize,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's moonlight propaganda, and before you realize...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're walking around with moonlight in your eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you hear birds singing, and there ain't no birds, look out, my friend, that's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I really mean the whole world to you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we first danced and dined out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been wondering how I stand and now I've simply got to find out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm prepared to hear the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you get a glimpse of heaven?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me, do I send that certain feeling surging through you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you say what software they're using? Are they using like Carnegie Learning, uhm, software or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's how it's played. Each player starts with a specific number of roads, columns, and cars depending on how many people are playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is important because this game is component limited. If you run out of pieces, you are eliminated from the game. To set up the play area, each player takes a turn placing their first on ramp using one column and one popsicle stick road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the game can begin. On a player's turn, they build out their highway network by adding a single road. They can point their highway in any direction that fits on the table, but there are some rules they must obey. First, they must increase or decrease the height of their highway by exactly one column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That means a road that starts at a height of two columns must either go down to one column or up to three columns. Secondly, a road cannot pass directly over any columns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And finally, both ends of the road piece must rest entirely on their columns. They can't hang over the edge or be placed on anyone else's column.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ideally, your new highway piece crosses over one of your opponent's highways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that happens and no other highways have already crossed it, then you get to add a car to your highway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is how you win the game, by getting all of your cars on the highway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pro tip, if you manage to cross over two uncrossed highways, you get to place two cars at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Players will also get a number of yellow junction columns that allow them to break some of these building rules. First, they allow you to increase or decrease the height of your highway by up to two pieces instead of one, or not to increase it at all and keep it the same height.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only caveat is that you must build a junction with at least one gray column. A one height junction is not allowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On top of that, junctions also allow you to create a branching highway that can split off into two roads, which normal columns cannot do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by using one of those extra routes, you can end one of your routes with an off-ramp. If you make a highway that goes from one column back to the ground, you get to add a car to it. But you can't continue that route on future turns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once a player has placed all their pieces, their turn ends, and play continues in a circle until someone runs out of cars and is declared the winner. But not everything will go according to plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While building their highways, players will almost certainly knock over some pieces. If those pieces belong to another player, they must be fixed before the turn can continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, if player A knocks over a couple of player B's highways and a column piece, player A must give player B two highways and a column piece from their own supply. But if you only knock over your own stuff, no worries, just fix it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you run out of pieces to build with, either because of penalties you've paid or simply poor resource management, you are eliminated from the game. But not immediately. After you place your last road or column piece, you have until your next turn to pray that someone knocks over some of your pieces and pays you a penalty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now prepare to merge into the right lane because your exit is coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like they purposefully made these little pylons around so that if you accidentally knock them over they might roll and just bowling ball into someone else's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. And it was just kind of a blank. I think we were in sort of a blank place. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of different idea of what the album means to us, and again, that's, that's why I like this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, what happens when you fall asleep. So it's, sorta for me, like every song in the album is, you know, there's sleep paralysis, there's night terrors, nightmares, lucid dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An explanation. And like, even if you try to give me a bullshit explanation, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody, nobody knows. Nobody knows. Absolutely nobody knows. You can't tell me that you know why we have to lay in a bed pretending that we're asleep until we actually fall asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleep and not sleep has been a very big part of my life. Like I've, I've always had really, really bad night terrors and I've had sleep paralysis like five times and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know. And then, you know, sometimes I'll have dreams where the thing that was in my dream will happen the next day. And I'll, it's so weird. It's so weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really bad sometimes. Like, uhm, kinda like, I think it was like, probably a year and a half ago, uhm, I had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The same reoccurring nightmare for two months that just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A loop. It was the same dream every single night. And sometimes it was different people in the dream, but everything happened the same. And it really just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucked me up for the whole two months and it affected me in my life, like it affected the way that I viewed things and how I was, you know, talking to people and how I was thinking and like, I just was different and I f-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does in a way because love is this kind of overpowering feeling that, that is just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they say they don't give a fuck cause of me. And that's just a feeling I can't even describe. And it's not like they don't give a fuck about people or about love or about taking care of yourself and whatever. Like it's that you don't have to like fit into anything because it won't matter one day. So it's like, why the fuck try to be something you're not? You know what I'm saying? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has, you know, controlled sort of like everything in my life or my whole life. I've kind of always been a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I feel like there are some people that neutrally, they're kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, somebody that we knew that was kind of always a cheerful, happy person was like, you know, they were like, you know, I feel sad sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like people are just so weird about it because people that aren't neutrally unhappy don't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause we see each other in a way that like, doesn't require needing to tell each other. Like, and you know, that's also regarding like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you can explain what you were saying to me, but I just was, I just was thinking like, he sees me as I am and not, instead of like going into a session and being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, we're not, it's hard to evaluate ourselves, that's what I meant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't, I think when we, you know, we talk to a stranger about how we're feeling,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've felt things that I try to describe and people that live with me and that are around me are like, that's not at all how you're feeling. I can see how you're feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, you- I think we just all lie to ourselves and the thing about the way that me and Phineas make music is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can see it. And I feel like we've been in, uhm, circumstances where we're writing a song and I just can't say what I'm feeling, whether it's I don't even know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't feel comfortable, I don't, I'm not like comfortable enough to really say it and, and specifically with the song we wrote, like he just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was completely lost in what I was trying to say. I couldn't figure it out. And he just sat there and he just wrote exactly what it was and it worked because he sees it. He was saying last night that the album to him is like a coming of age album. It's more...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's me. I don't know, you put it better than I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I'm Chip Foose. We're here at Foose Design. Today, we're going to talk about the 1984 to 1989 Toyota MR2 production car. Now this car was originally conceived in the early seventies. The first concept was brought out in 1981, but you can definitely tell that this car was really influenced by what Bertone was doing back in those days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I mean by this car being influenced by Bertone design is you look at some of the cars that they were doing back then, this real aggressive wedge shape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a lot of the cars that they were working on had this type of basic shape, and this very much picked it up. But it's fun to look at the original concept car. That's a beautiful car with a lot of really nice flowing lines. By the time it got to a production car,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It became definitely almost a kitchen product. It's very harsh, hard lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like the concept much better and I think if I were to build one of these cars, I would go back to what they were doing originally and start playing around with some of the proportions and the lines that they had in the concept car and try to clean it up. Get rid of that giant intake that they had off the rear quarters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe clean that up and do some different type of design because it just looks like a kitchen product that was set on the quarter. It's really not an elegant design. It's a product. But it really did work well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard the MR2 actually stood for a couple different names. I don't know what the real name was. I've heard that it was either midship runabout two seater or it could have been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mid-engine, rear wheel drive, two-seater. What it is, I don't know, but, uh, both of them seem to work and they do represent the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something of interest is that the MR2 was the first mass production mid-engine car from a Japanese manufacturer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I'm drawing this car, I'm just looking at how boxy and square and flat it is. It's got some great proportions, but the details are just so harsh. As I said before, it looks like a kitchen product. If I were gonna build one of these, I would really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do a lot of work to try and make it elegant. So I've got a basic line drawing that is the car. I'm going to overlay this and see what I can do to try and make it look sexy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look back at the wedge car designs, you know, one of my favorite is the Pantera. That is a really sexy car. The concept car is beautiful.

[Assistant] Very nice, elegant. The production car is just, it looks like you could have designed it with foam core.

[Assistant] What we're doing here and what I'm sketching is we're just putting frosting on the cake. The cake exists.

[Assistant] What I'm playing around with right now is maybe we make it look like a fast pack, like a Pantera or a lot of the mid-engine cars from this era. You know, let's try and make it a little more sporty rather than making it look like a commuter car. I think what Toyota was trying to do when they built this car was make something that was economical, reliable, uh, fun because it is mid-engine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, there were some other car companies that were playing with that whole idea as well. I think Toyota did it best. I mean, I remember when this came out, you saw them everywhere. You don't really see too many of them now, but when you do, they're pretty nice examples because they've been well taken care of.

[Assistant] It would be fun to take one of these and make it look a bit more masculine, shall we say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's ready to go on the racetrack. You know when I use the term that this looks like a product?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm talking about is that the car looks awkward. It looks like a production. It looks very square boxy. You know, it looks like it was pulled out of a mold. It doesn't look like something that was carved and shaped. And it was a designer that fell in love with his car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't imagine the designers were in love with this design. It just fit the purpose of what Toyota wanted it to do. I'm not saying that that's a sin. They sold a lot of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you wanted to build a car that's going to be a timeless, beautiful piece of art that you can drive, it wouldn't be this car.

[Assistant] Alright, so I have a line drawing here and the main difference is I've made it a fastback, I've lengthened the windows, I laid the windshield back, did a more sporty mirror, kind of cleaned up the shapes, tried to keep the front end looking the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the rear I just softened it up and, and tried to make things more elegant and timeless design. Not something that when you look at it, you're thinking of late seventies, early eighties product. Something that looks like, you know, could have been a toaster. That's what the car looks like to me is it looks like a cheap production car. That was a lot of fun. What I'm trying to do is make something that's timeless and beautiful. Let's show some color on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you ever notice, most concept cars are done in a silver color because you see shapes. That's why I'm drawing this in almost a silver type color. I just want to indicate the shape. It's not about what color this car is, but what are the modifications that we're making to it.

[Assistant] What I'm using when I do my sketches is I use an ad marker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was apprenticing with Mark Sternberger, I've always just loved the colors and loved the way they work. It's something I'm used to. And as long as I can get them, this is the marker that I'll use.

[Assistant] Form always follows function. Now the side scoops, it looked like it was just a box that was stuck on the side to get air in it. There was nothing creative about it in my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I wanted to do is, actually I picked up off of some of the GT40 concepts where there's a straight going through the body side, and that's a scoop that's pulled in. But the MR2 has all those fins in it, so I kept the fins in there to relate to the MR2. You always have to remember where you're coming from.

[Assistant] Big black plastic piece at the bottom of the C-pillar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is now a fastback. Where that was actually at, I just put an angle on that quarter window and brought it back. And then from that peak is where I would bring the deck lid towards that. So there's a highlight. That, that surface actually drops in and then goes up into the top into the fastback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't want to get away so it didn't look like an MR2, but if you park this with a bunch of MR2s, you would definitely know that the front is an MR2. Just cleaned up a little bit. I got rid of a lot of the lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, back in the early 80s, there was a lot of lines and things. I'm just trying to smooth things up. You could fill in some of those lines. One line says a lot more sometimes than three lines. When Toyota set out to build the MR2,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they had a goal. They wanted to keep it fun, reliable and affordable. Management did a great job on keeping the team on task because it was fun, it was affordable and it was reliable. And that may be why the thing looks like a product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a lot of plastics, it's a lot of cheap parts, but that's what made it affordable. It kept it light, that's what made it fun. They hit all three, and a lot of car companies don't. But, uh, when that's what you set out to do, as long as you do your job, you've just hit a home run.

[Assistant] Chapter 13 Too Late For a moment or two I could not move. I knew that voice. Holmes, I cried, Holmes! I ran outside and there was Holmes. He was sitting on a stone and his grey eyes were dancing with amusement. He looked a little thin, but bright and wide awake. His skin was brown from the wind and the sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He certainly did not look like a man who had been living in the middle of a wild cold moor.
