[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are also some people who are not quite so inspiring. What was your area of specialisation? What was your PhD in? Uh, my PhD is in additive number theory. So I was interested in number theory and combinatorics. So I told my mum I was doing a PhD in adding up whole numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So exciting. It was more being able to apply those techniques combining the older and the newer to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chipping away at a problem. I don't know, I sort of have this mental image of a very hard stone ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every now and then I've managed to chip a tiny little piece of it. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wondered that too. And I spent, as lots of people do, lots of time coming towards the end of my PhD, applying for lots of jobs and not getting them. And I was applying for postdoc type jobs, so the next step in the academic pathway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure I was totally sure that that was the right fit for me, but it seemed like the thing that you should do. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess within the Oxford maths department, for example, different people have different roles and there are some people who are just doing research. I'm really unusual in having


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No aspirations to my name being on anything long-term, if I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So every now and then I sort of have an idea of oh maybe I could explore this piece of mathematics through this particular technique and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so one thing that I did was make some bracelets to explore the distribution of the prime numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone gave me a book. It's called something like Bead Crochet for Mathematicians. I'm not sure that's exactly the name, but it's something like that. And I'd never heard of bead crochet before, but I just looked at this and thought, this is really cool. And so you make a torus. In the jewellery community, they call them bracelets. Uhm, so you make this sort of donut thing. At the jewellery community. You make a kind of, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's a sort of cylindrical tube that you can join up at the ends. And the book has some fantastic designs in it, which I found really inspiring. But then it sort of got me thinking actually I could use this to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The book's designed for students thinking about options at degree level to help them think a bit more about is a maths degree right for me? Is that what I want to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which maths degree might I do given that there are lots and lots of maths degrees out there? Where might a maths degree lead me later in life? And also then hopefully for teachers and parents of those students who might be supporting students making decisions. I guess trying to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way, fill in the gaps that prospectuses leave. University prospectuses have lots of great information and now we're doing it all online. There are videos and lots of information out there. And I guess this book is trying to pull together some of the things that you might not find in the prospectus about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it is designed for a particular audience, but I'm hoping that it will be of interest a little bit more broadly. So I can imagine, for example, that a teacher who is a terrific maths teacher having done perhaps physics or engineering degree or something might find it useful to be able to dip into the book and have a sense of some of the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It means that people could choose a course that suits them, but trying to work out things that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lots of maths degrees have in common was quite interesting, so exploring some of that. So I tried to pick out, uhm, a few different themes and give an idea of where they might go on to. So differential equations tying into modelling disease, which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was choosing a university, it wasn't apparent to me what a variety there was. Uhm, one of the phrases that gets used sometimes is that you can think of maths degrees as being more or less theory based and more or less practice based. So some are more...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something that I was really aware of because I was putting the finishing touches to the book in the spring at a point when I was teaching all of my students exclusively online and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm really conscious that our practices are changing. I think at the point when we hopefully have the vaccines


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Students as they've been going through their mathematical journeys and arriving as undergraduates, maybe with particular career plans, maybe with no career plans at all and seeing how they've then found their mathematical feet decided.

[Assistant] Hello, time again to rattle the cage of the student mind. An ancient college is playing a more modern university with a place in the second round at stake.

[Assistant] James Maynard's a high-flying mathematician at Oxford University with a particular interest in prime numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You may even remember seeing him talking enthusiastically about primes in a few of our YouTube videos. For a little while now, he's been touted as a possible winner of the Fields Medal, probably the most famous award in mathematics. Well...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he's won it. They only hand out these medals every four years, and Professor Maynard was one of the four winners named in the class of 2022. Admittedly, it's taken a little while, but I finally got in the same room as James, and, well, I asked him all about it. What does it feel like to win such a glittering prize?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, this interview also exists as a video, so you can watch it on YouTube if you're so inclined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you became a mathematician, you started working, you know, as a junior mathematician, you started hanging out with some of the big professionals. Presumably, you worked with, and some of your friends included, the odd fields medallist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did some of those winners have like an aura about them though? Do people go, oh, see that, see that person over there, they want a fieldsman, or like, when they walk in the room, would that be a big deal amongst mathematicians, or? I know it's hard to say, no, you've won one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people started talking about you being a contender for the fields medal. I used to see on reddit every time fields medal season came around, your name would be amongst the possible winners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did people ever talk to you about it? Did people ever say to you, James I reckon you could win it this year? Like things like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you didn't tell them, but presumably you told like, parents or something, or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sometimes look at these lists of four yearly winners, these clusters, and I always think you're kind of, you're, you're bonded now, aren't you? Like, you're, you're a little class, do you feel a bond with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know there are some other big prizes in mathematics now, like big, big prizes, but the Fields Medal still seems to be like the Nobel Prize-y one. Is there a, is there a feeling at all of, hmm, now what? Like, that's like, that this could be the biggest thing I ever win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel, like, encouraged by it? Do you feel spurred on by it to do greater things and justify it? Does it put a pressure on you now when you think, gosh, the next paper I write, everyone's gonna be looking at it, I'm a fields medallist now, like, what effect has it had on you so far?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you ready for that? Are you ready to go on the radio and talk about mathematics education in British schools and things like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you must be aware, you just coincidentally happen to have won the Fields Medal at a time that the UK has a Prime Minister that decided to start talking a lot about mathematics and the importance of mathematics. It was on the front page for a little while and he started talking about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more interviews with James Maynard, of course. And by the way, I'll also link to details about the other winners of the Fields Medal in 2022, so you can read about them. There were three others, of course. I'm Brady Harren, and you've been listening to the Numberphile Podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. I had to sign up for a Paramount Plus, actually I got the free trial. I did too. And then cancelled it immediately. I did not. Oh, so you gotta do that. That's how I get you. I will. No, I know. That's how I get you to do good stuff on there. I like that. There is, I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of those things you can always see, like they're setting it up for grandma to say, you know, if you lift yourself up, you can be great, honey. Just so they can flashback to that later. Yeah. While she's like fighting the spider.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of her knowledge, where is this? Probably timecode. It's on your list? Anyway, carry on. I lost it. There's too many things here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, parts of it felt like a first, you know, Helena, it felt like a first episode. You wake up, you're on a beach, you got something in your arm, you don't know where you are. When the show adds a little more intrigue, it's like, okay, you meet Bob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bob's from World War II. You meet, uhm, I forgot the guy's name, but he lived in ancient Greece. Yeah. It's like, okay, so there's people in this world now from different time periods and we've all been dumped here. It's like, okay, I'm intrigued. That intrigues me about that world a little more than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually am, which I'm not because I'm just running around on a beach trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well now the notes in, if you play the game, the notes are Helena's notes, a lot of the times. And I think now they're actually voiced by the same voice actor that's doing the cartoon. And now, what's this, what, this Bob's update they got going on? I think, uhm, like, you can find Bob's notes, and that's voiced by the guy who does The Boys, Carl Urban. Yeah, yeah, Carl Urban.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems like everyone kinda like, it feels like a project where everyone phoned it in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It definitely does. Like, it was a matter of like, oh, I know Carl, uhm, oh, he'll do some lines. They probably fucking recorded him on their iPhones, for all I know. You know what I mean? They could have. They could have. I mean, they probably went into a studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter the names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's like, writing like, um, she's getting away and the guards all see she's getting away and then they just, he has to go GET HER!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, David Tennant was Rockwell. Rockwell. Rockwell. Santiago is Vin Diesel. Who, if he's in the show, I haven't seen him yet. I didn't recognize, yeah, Vin Diesel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've only seen- did you guys watch- I watched three episodes. I watched one episode. That was all you- okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime they flashback, I'm, uh, yeaah, I think we all tune out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wanna keep watching it, but I'm gonna fast forward through the flashbacks. It's kinda where my head's at. It's like, oh, is there a flashback?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playstation or on the television? I guess it might help if you have a, uhm, yeaah, like, playing with it. Yeah, cause on desktop it's easy, you just scrub it. Yeah, PlayStation controller, but it's like, it's 2020 fucking 4, do you guys try this? It's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so weird. It's like, we figured that out with VCRs. Going back and forth. That's easy. And I was just doing it to like, get time stamps that I'm not using at all for this review. Yeah. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so fucking annoying so quick, and I was like reee, you haven't been, you haven't existed that long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sucks too. Gotcha. So, yeah, take that note Paramount Plus, fix it. Was there any, well we could do final scores. But I think we should go to a 1-10 system on final scores. Final score, where we're at, what we're thinking. Man, there were some really cringe lines. Oh there were, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone's, everyone's seen that photo of a dog or a cat dressed in something. You can tell like, okay, I just tolerate it because they feed me. Emily says bring it on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, some men will love it. She doesn't give a fuck what I put on her. Well, she's like, she's got no meat on her, so anytime she puts a sweater on, especially in winter, I'm like, yes, please. And that's why she's accepting it. It's like, I had to put those on early, so she didn't just freak out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that's uh, we're getting law off topic here. Yeaah. Big time, big time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was fine, but I mean, they killed it with a spear in the end, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helena noticed like, okay, this little blue goo, the little spiders love chomping on this blue goo, so she threw a bunch of it at the big spider. Okay. And then that annoyed the big spider and allowed it to get distracted, and then they stabbed it, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a, there was a line, it was the one line, dammit. I already put it up again, but it was, I was bringing it up early when we started talking about this, when it was one of the flashbacks and she's like, speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At some... Right, having a panic attack. Yeaah. And at the end of her speech, it's just such a dumb moment. Her line is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stupid ass shit. I give it a 4.5. Ooh, that's pretty low. Uhm, I'm at like a 6 or a 7, so probably 6 and a half. There's things I like. I'll go 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, anytime they're in the present, usually I'm entertaining them like, I want to know more about this world, and I'm intrigued with what's going on on the arc. The second they flashback, I could give a shit. And it is fun to see...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that's... Yeah, all the sounds, a lot of locations, you're like, okay, yeah, I recognize this from the game, that's kinda fun, cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna watch more of it. Yeah, I'm curious just because we play the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, I'm gonna skip the flashbacks. That'd be nice if that was an option too. Skip all flashbacks, like subtitles down there. That'd be a great option. Yea, if you're on a console, you can just hit A.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got some, uh, I don't know if you guys heard, this is, uh, the gaming industry business related news. Uh, did you see Take Two Interactive has purchased Gearbox software?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Take Two Interactive, they're the publishing company for, you know, like Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar. Okay, right. Big publisher. And they purchased Gearbox, and I think Gearbox's biggest game was, uh, uh, hold on, slipping my mind. Is it Gears of War?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was surprised. I was like, okay, that has potential to be a fun show. Yeah. But, I mean, again, same thing with Borderlands. Like, I don't know. I mean, I've played the shit out of Fallout. I love some Fallout. So I have, I'm more keen to watch this one. But to me, it's interesting. It's just like, I feel like the last of us kicked off this whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that last of a show came out and it was successful. Yea, it was good. And now it's like, you got a video game franchise we can make a show about? Let's go! Yea. Yea, it's like the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just said confidently no, so I'm just waiting for the answer now. Everybody's waiting. Baited breath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't. You deserve better than us, Simon. Uhm, but I've not watched that show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could have been, but you listen to this. I heard a, I don't know if it's factual, but I heard it from a friend, uhm, Tuesday night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My buddy Jesse Stockton, great musician, and he loves Key West. You do as well, right? Oh yeaah, oh yeaah. I've never been to Key West, and you know, the geography of it, how it kinda like, jets off, if you're looking at the map, jets off to the west, off to the left, kinda, it tails out that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said that Key West has never been hit by a hurricane?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Hurricane Idalia. Oh, there you go. Alright, already disproven. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is getting like the outside, yea, Florida, no, we're talking keys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's probably all trash down there, heard someone say something and heard it wrong. It's interesting sometimes when you end up in a conversation, like I was in a conversation with somebody, I went back home to Johnston County to hang out with friends, and one of my friends' friends I ended up talking to, he was genuinely on the side of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We may not have gone to the moon, and the government's hiding that shit. Okay. Where you just go, wow, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Why does it, why do the rockets go straight up? Why don't they go straight up? Won't they just go straight? What did he watch recently that? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say what? Never played, not, not once. Didn't know he was talking about her. Has zero idea how orbit works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At some point you just let him talk, where you're just like, wow, I'm just gonna let this man talk. Because there's nothing to convince this man. Yeah. How dumb he is. I have a, I have a friend who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if the topic isn't anywhere near, he'll find a segway into talking about, uhm, and I'm not going political here at all, but he'll be the one that'll bring up the drinking of baby's blood and stuff like that. I'm like, ah, Greg, dude, we don't need to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the lizard people too? Lizard, just, ehh. You don't, you're like, damn it, we were doing so good. We were doing so good, Greg, we're just having drinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bringing up spirits and shit. Oh, speaking of spirits. Okay. I saw Ghostbusters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Simon, you did too. Okay. Look at two reviews in one episode. Two reviews. Simon, your review of Ghostbusters Ice Monster. Let's start with the one to ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it would have been fine had they not shown like the wide shot of the city covered in ice and all these ice spikes coming around. Like, the way they presented it made it seem like thousands of people are dead. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though they didn't show it, it's like, okay, here comes this big cold storm and these ice spikes are flying out of the ground and like lifting up cars. And I'm thinking, oh my god, half the city's dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the New York stuff. If they had just had the monster and everything was kind of frozen around the monster, I feel like I would have forgiven it a little less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monster. He has ice powers. I bring problems. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I like them being back in New York and they're in the firehouse. There's some really fun ghosts. Um, Dan Aykroyd's a bigger part of it than I thought he was going to be. Which feels like running around with the kids. It's like seeing this sweet old grandpa. He's just kind of into what they're doing and he's leading them through the library and they're solving mysteries. And at one point they're like chasing a garbage can. It's silly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What have you done with Tape Up, huh? It's over. They were cute. How cute. For the kids. Yeaah. Yeaah, no, those things like, it's like having minions in your movie. So, here's a high-pitched


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was ballsy. It was a little bit of everything. Like, the comedy, it was, uhm, it was for adults.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, it, yeah. Like, it, it hits some- It's a PG movie, I think. But it was like, it wasn't afraid. Yeah, that's art today. Yeah, it wasn't afraid. This one, I guess, it, it like, comes across as like, it is for the kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a lot of aspects, yes. And I think it like, I think it's due to like the Stay Puft shit. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like those little things. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's some stories. There's some genuine scary moments in this one. There's some creepy looking fucking monsters. Yea. And ghosts. Really? Where it's like, yea, I would, I would go like, okay, this is, this is still creepy as shit. In certain regards, like when the monster first appears everything goes dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, damn, that thing's, that thing, like, that would scare a small child. And one other thing they brought up is, like, if you get frozen, a lot of people get frozen in this, I'm guessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when you're unfrozen, you're just automatically just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's not that. No, okay. No, that's good. If you freeze it, like, you're either dead or, like, you're seriously injured. Okay, gotcha. Okay, good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man. No. No. But even the last one, it's just like all of a sudden, Bill Murray and them, they're there in their outfits. Like what, where did they fucking come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this true? Uhm, also the last thing I say from that, that they dropped was uhm, a lot of cold environments obviously. Uhm, nobody's shivering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that'd be a huge part of it. I think it would be more immersive too. It's direction, yeaah. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, especially in July in New York City. It was like, this takes place during a heatwave and all of a sudden, fucking Ice Monster shows up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, you know what, it's a good plane movie. That's what it sounds like to me. It's a good, like, if you're on the plane and it's like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a turn my brain off and just enjoy some stupid Ghostbusters shit. What do you think your daughter's review would be? A one to ten. Cause kids will always go higher. You know what I mean? I remember asking a kid- Kids probably loved it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was like last year I, uh, a kid that, uh, that I know through, through Gabs or whatever asked after that Five Nights at Freddy's movie came up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought I was like, meh, it had a couple moments, but it was still fucking kinda weird. Uhm, but then I asked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and she was so excited about it, you know. I was like, so what do you think? Score 1 to 10 is right before I saw it. Oh, 10. Yep. 10. That's your best movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy? You get that little pack of sun chips and it just makes the flight that much better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, or a cross, or, or, uh, steaks, or the whatever. Or the atheist symbol. Through the hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually get some chips and almonds. I'm like on the damn fly. I say, what do you want some chips or almonds? I usually go, can I get both?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you're gonna act up in a flight, like, do it while we're in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's insane for them to go to that level that they're like, nope, I'm kicking you off. You've been too much of a bitch. Or we can go the whole airplane, the movie route and establish that line, slap em. Just start slapping and beating the whole slap line. You calm down lady. Someone holding a bat. You're relaxed. Everybody line up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Plains are tight. Man, it just made me think about, uhm, what's his face for the naked gun. Leslie? No, not Leslie. It's, uhm, Liam Neeson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they have to be, you have to picture them like almost always serious. What about Morgan Freeman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. He's funny, he understands the humor. And the point is to like, maintain that serious side. Leslie just did it like a fuckin' champ. Yeah. But I mean, they did have moments, like, especially in the later Naked Gun sequels where he did kinda like, mime and make faces. I hope they avoid all that shit. And they got sillier. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, Leslie was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you don't need him deadpan, keep him serious the entire time because that's what makes that shit funny. Don't go scary movie with this shit. All the things in the background need to be absurd, but the characters need to take it so fucking seriously. Yep. Like that's what makes it work. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't- I think it just got announced that it's in production. So no, probably next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only official thing that Rockstar has said is 2025. That's it. But that means nothing. They could go like, oh, we need to delay this shit by two years because we went over a bit and like, it wouldn't surprise me if it gets pushed to 2026. But the only official announcement is 2025. Everything else is just speculation, fucking rumor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, could we breed mook? Like big gorillas? It's too bad you can't just get them from kidney beans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long does that take, do you know? The process? Anybody? I don't. I'm just curious how much of a pain that is, like, hour or two?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you bring a switch. Bring a switch. Play some Zelda, get your dialysis done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're great for travel. Fuck yeah, they are. Yeah, so say alright, need something to do on a- Yeah, I don't play at all. Six hour plane ride. Zelda. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, once you put it on, it's got these three cameras, and I guess we played like this little augmented reality game, I forget what it's called, but it maps out the entire room, and then you get a gun, and the room starts breaking apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like for a spell there it's like, okay, they're really pushing the tech, and now it's like slowed down a little bit, but I'm sure it'll ramp back up.

[Assistant] Yeah, they keep putting out some cool shit. Like I said, I heard. That Meta3 is great. I mean, uh, like, visual, the visuals aren't too bad. It's not as, like, high-end as, like, the, uh, whatever HTC's thing is. The Valve Index is better than HTC's. That thing is. That looks so good when you're looking through it. Does that have cables? But yes. And so does the Index.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that's the best part of it. But that's the thing, if you wanted to play your Steamwatch, I- no, I guess you can string them to your... meta, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I've heard, I haven't done it. Yeah, Anthony knows about it more than I do, because he's actually done it, but I think you can stream your Steam games to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be cool. So I remember reading someone saying that playing Seven Days in VR is great. Oh yea?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, but I mean, you know, I heard someone say something about Key West. That wasn't true. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty solid. It's what I did that one video, that GameCrasher video with uh, Creed, I was playing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, years ago. But uhm, yeaah, it's solid. You get a good workout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just moving and it's, it's tense, you know, you get all sweaty because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sticks are high. Yeaah. I wanna try that one I play called Thrill of the Fight. Kinda the same thing. Yeaah. It's just a boxing game. Yeaah. But man, it's like, if you do a few rounds and you're sweatin'. Oh yeaah. It's like, oh wow. It's a good workout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you? Yeah, there's a place, uh, near Emerald Isle. Uhm, that I took my daughter to. My parents went and they had Connect 4 basketball there. We got a few rounds in. Yeah, it's fun. I've been there. The place is pretty big. Yeah, I think it's Mac Daddy's or something. I knew the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's the same owner, I met the owner and. Okay. And, uh, yea, we got trash. She was in a wheelchair. Oh shit. It's just a big facility. I think they have putt putt outside and inside there's bowling, there's arcades, there's a bar. They got it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you put Neves? I did. That shit gets erased every damn day. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well I, I, I've got, I've got brain issues. But then you played through it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Yeah, no, I don't like it when people are standing over me talking to me. But when it's us, you'd like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's when I hate it the most. It's when I absolutely hate it because I feel pressure and I feel like I'm being judged even though you're very nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we're here to see Puck leave because Puck has the best exit like you've said many times when we're playing. His exit is pretty wonderful anyway. So we'll stop about Puck when he leaves, it's certainly a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have that in games, I mean they have that in scrap. You know, you go for- Oh yea, scrap. You know, pick it up on a- That's right, you can save it. You can save it and then bring it to wherever you're at, whenever you're at. So it'd be nice, and just laying a blueprint, you'd think it really wouldn't be that difficult, but who knows.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like really it was, that was one thing that was kind of like, Oh, it's too bad. We didn't get to see anything really cool. Cause one of the first things I saw that was cool was just very simple. It was like a tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 20th and we're streaming it tonight, like the release of this podcast. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't have to build where they're work, where they're working on. They kind of like come with all their tools and whatever they need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd hope in the next five years every game would be like that. It's gonna be like, they've gotta evolve at some point and realize nobody finds a benefit in trying to do the tedious task of going into each individual thing and breaking it down.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, like, you know, am I gonna play this thing for five hours? Am I gonna make it like, you know, am I gonna make that one video? No, no, yeaah, that's a couple videos. So, anyway. That is five videos. It is a fun world, and it has gotten good reviews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're so soft, like, you know, when it comes down to like, of course back then, it's horrible things, people are dying, you don't have food regulated and stuff, but then look at, look at what we, what we consider today to be like what you have to do in order to stay clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like we've, we've, we've been like the soap industry and like all these things that we've been like, I don't know, programmed to feel that are necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know, and sure, it's nice to be able to like, I don't know, rinse off. Like, I think that these soaps and all this shit that we were told like, oh, you gotta clean with soap. Why, for fucking, I wanna say for years, I just fucking cleaned myself with hot water when I took showers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were Jesus. You were straight Jesus. It was past my shoulders. 100% Jesus. Look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was very thick locks. It was thick. Right? Locks, I would describe them as.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember that but I do know that that, uh, there could be a movie written about the making of that movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would have been much better than... Because that was some really funny ass shit. It was. The movie that, like that, and that's out there. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be interesting to find that you, that movie and almost, you know, like, you just get our community on it and be like, find the lost way. Let's not talk about this so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what? It's pretty insulting to buy the only movie that's ever been made in Antigua and then tell, say outright, this is gonna be great for bad movie night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, well, he was, might have been, I doubt the guy. He had a lot of rum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I appreciate what you got, when it's in the extreme cold to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man listen, here's a loophole. Dark chocolate can lower your blood sugar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not pre-diabetic, but if I don't, if I don't watch what I'm eating, cause I've come to eat more sweets in the last few years. So my levels aren't, aren't doing too good. I got to keep an eye on that shit. So that's what I'm trying to do now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have an internal struggle with getting my blood pressure taken because I hate feeling my own pulse. I don't care if I'm a doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when I, I can't seem to let go of concentrating on feeling that pulse and then it won't go away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd love to know what qualifies as nap because my favorite type of sleep or what you'd call a nap is I'm never like, I can still hear shit. Yeah. It's kind of meditation. So yeah. And I'm, and I'm just sitting. I'm not just laying down. Do you ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's a pretty, if you think about it, I mean, if you're prepared, it's a pretty easy fix, you know, for your lover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One lane's closed, but you know it's fuckin' bad. You know it's like way over. Cause traffic got bad before even this. Oh, but I'm just talking about just the bridge. I'm surprised. Oh, that bridge is old. It needs repairs. It's so fuckin' bad. That's why they're doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not going to our bridges. Not for infrastructure. I mean, in Texas, the thing is every so often people are like, well, we need to add more because of this. So you go, okay, we're going to add more for, you know, the fucking something to be built like a, you know, a stadium or are we going to do it for a bridge? We probably need a bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we can show a video of a blown up bridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There really is, and the fact that we have an airport that flies directly in here is so awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. Oh yea, I know, but all they gotta do is fly to Atlanta or Charlotte. Charlotte or Raleigh. So many times it's just a two connector, but anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, well too, like as long as it's a place where people would want to visit, you would think bodybuilding would be like, all right, you know, freaking mister and missus or whatever the hell gender, uh, Virginia beach bodybuilder, like just make up your own fucking title. And now you go like, invite people to come and compete. It's why they.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have too many times. That's one of those things where if we, that's, that's another great thing about Aztec is you can go like, Hey, listen, badger us every month. Be like, Hey, you know what? There's another like competition out there. You want to go and do it? Cause it would be, it would be a great excuse to go away. Like I'd much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather and really look forward to going and doing that with you guys than like, camping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though I like camping with you guys, I'd be much more excited to go and work on a creative. And like do a 48 hour film festival somewhere. Hell yeah. That could be fun. Yeah. Fucking gorilla filmmaking, story writing on the cuff, just let's go. Yeah. It's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only that though, like after, right after it's over. Right after. That was crazy. That's 11 o'clock at night. It's like, alright, let's go and let's record. Go to Quincy's house. All night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our first show was so drastically different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that would be easier for me to play, it's less options. Pretty sure it's four. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so. Now you're ready for your live show.

[Assistant] And two free wellness shots per box while subscription is active. That's code neeps 50 at factor meals.com slash neeps 50 to get 50% off your first box and two free wellness shots per box while subscription is active. Thank you factor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's doing stuff that's, I'm, I mean, I don't think it's fake. Like if he, he's burying himself for seven days and living underneath the ground doing crazy ass stunts himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you just go like, and he's just hanging out with his friends, talking, doing whatever, and I totally buy the whole thing. And it's kinda crazy, some of the shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's just kinda watching him go through the whole, I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, like he did like seven days in like solitary and apparently you gotta be real careful when you do that. Right? So he just didn't see anybody, no sunlight, no nothing. And you get to see his mental journey of being like, I'm just trying to be entertaining and fucking, you know, kind of see what's going on. And it's kind of crazy. And he walks you through it. Did he have stuff to do? Uh, he's in a white padded room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing to interact with either. Oh. He had to create things to, you know, you'll take apart shit and you'll kind of make little games for yourself or you collect the food trays or, you know, and he might have had some very minimal things, but he didn't have like fucking games or anything. Didn't have a book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're conditioning your innards. You know, and that's one thing that I have done that I, and I was in a, I was doing one of those floats. I don't know if you guys ever done that? Oh, the float? The tanks? Oh, the float tank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did last time I did it, I did it for two hours because it usually takes me probably about a good 20 minutes or so to actually completely let go of everything. And now I'm truly just floating with zero stress or anything put into my body or weight. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but like it's amazing how as soon as you just move a little bit, you know, it just kind of throws everything up, but you fall into that state and then you go just really long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inhalations and exhalations like take slow like drag from like what felt like a full minute just inhaling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it was probably more like 30 seconds, but it was just like long, long crazy. Like, and then the exhale, same thing. And at the end of them, I'd hold it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one thing if you can actually let go, a lot of people will never actually tense, like lose some sort of tension.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if you're in pain. So I had back issues, you know, for so long. And I was just like, I've heard good things with that. And I was also, I heard it was great for meditation. And it, and it was, it was truly like I had a little thing where I was doing it like every other month and then I got out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, I wanted to do it every month, but for meditation, it's such a great way to just kind of clear your head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And really focus on your breath. Cause when you focus on your breath, you're only focusing on one thing. Dude, it's insane. And, and so it's the easiest way to try to meditate. And in that tank, it was so much easier for me to get to a place that was almost like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it expensive? It was probably like maybe 50 to 60 bucks a session. For two hours? No, for, they're an hour. The last time I did was double because yeah, it's kind of sucks to like, if it takes 20 minutes to get in, you only get to do it for 40 minutes. Cause once you're in there and you're in the zone or whatever it is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I get a little, a little bit nervous just cause you don't know what's gonna happen, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's the community, like if it was, if it was a bunch of strangers, I would be, I would have been a lot more nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and really nerves are good. I mean, the feeling, the feeling anxious really, and that's just fine. It's your body preparing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on now, your body, like, I know this is unnecessary, but your body's doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I'm not into the usually the white garlic sauce on a pizza or like any type of like ranch kind of thing on a pizza.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Diced onions, yeah. The southerners would have coleslaw where the northerners would more have sauerkraut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would think, and I'm not, I don't know if this should be the best place, but you would think that there would be venues that are cliché, outdated, that are there empty often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Too much, alright. We gotta do, we gotta pull the full grandeur. I didn't know that we're poppin' a thousand each time. Way to shit on a parade. That's what we're doing, hey. Hey no, hey, I didn't know that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, that's for sure. Yeaah, Texas? I wanna go someplace near those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm sure there's a lot of good things about organizing. Not all difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, just cause I've heard it from literally like two different people on old people, social, it's like, oh, pal world. It's like, eh, meh, over it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Done. I'm over it. You've heard that from people already? I've heard it before you, but yes, you were, uh. And to each their own, but I was just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, so you went into like very hard bosses? So then how do you really go all over it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you were just, oh, you didn't want to try to progress. That's what it is. I guess, I guess what I saw was I'm over it. I saw that as a, I played it and I didn't like any more of what the game was doing where you just didn't continue on. It wasn't a matter of, it wasn't a matter of not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it hard to get the materials to build your own place pretty quickly or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's cool, so it doesn't matter how far away you get, you're always home quick, so that's why you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sunk into me how long this has been going, cause I was cleaning out the Google Drive the other day. Yea. And I was looking at how, like we have recordings back in like last summer. It's kinda nuts. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what the next series needs. Seven days to die. Deal with it. Deal with it. Deal with it. You get dealt a card. I like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you'd always wanna go last. What? For laying down cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it should be overcarded. Okay, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you still want the base of the game to be there? You want to see who's building the base? What's their strategy? You don't want to negate all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know when the next competition's gonna be. It might be a few months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. That's how it happens. Even with like, uh, I don't know if you guys wanted to play Scorched Earth, but yeah, as soon as we started our Ark series, they dropped a new map. No, yeah, I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't just me, right? She wasn't understanding what I was saying. No, no, not at all. And I was like, cause I hate to switch to Spanish on someone. Why? If they speak English. Okay. I think it could maybe be insulting like, wait, is my English not good enough? You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just say that. That'd be a great, well, because you're doing horribly right now. Whatever the case is. I think she would have known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She seems surprised though, like once she started speaking, she was like, oh, you speak old Spanish. Yup. But, uh, yeaah. I gotta learn to work pulled chicken. You know what? These Spanish people, they gotta get their act together. Oh boy. Cause every single country has different words for like, I know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have different words, some from England. We're very confused. In Australia. Sure. But not like these people. Really? I feel like everything they disagree on. Socks are media, socks are calcetines, you know, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost anything you bring up, like, no, well it depends on which country. And there's like a bunch of them. There's only a handful of English speakers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't live in a, like if I just lived in Argentina and I just focused on that, but I'm like learning Spanish from everybody all around the world, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if as an adult you didn't learn it and you went, alright, let's spend two hours speaking Spanish. That would be a huge help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a lot of Neve's gaming community on Duolingo, like, I see their comments. Oh, that's awesome. Like, there'll be people like, hey, 3000 days, celebrate it, whatever. Yeah. You got like, friend, partner, uh, I guess quest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and like Sledge Monkey and I are dueling right now. Where he's doing lessons and I'm doing lessons and once we hit our goal we get like, whatever, dueling o' currency or something. That's really smart of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do these, like, timed lessons and sometimes you run out of time, it's like, ah crap, thought I had a few more seconds, didn't it, like, it'll extend your time. Oh, so you can use the gems to- It's not necessary. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a way to do it every day because if I don't have a chance to listen to a lesson or talk with someone, I can just go, okay, let me just spend a couple minutes doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I'm still learning new things. New ways to conjugate verbs I don't know before. You learned gleaming today. Yeah. I'm never gonna use that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gleaming to me means like, exhilarated kind of, or like something positive, full of energy, happiness. That movie title, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like we were rolling, like it's probably on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was funny. I'd love to have that clip. Watch everybody know the word except for just the people in this room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, he can draw a huge crowd. Huge crowd! That's a small place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm watching these series, like I've never played, uh, what was the last series with Pascal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never really played that game, so I just got to watch it as a movie. And Fallout, I've never really spent much time on that either. So, it's all just a new story to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't seen Halo, but I've heard people say they like it. I've heard the opposite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, because of, uh, you kinda got that review on, um, Dungeons and Dragons. Cause I don't play Dungeons and Dragons. Which I finally watched. And I liked it. That was a really fun movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're, like I've heard people that are really in Dungeon Dragons, they were kind of upset because they didn't maybe follow certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That fat dragon just, I laughed through the whole scene, man. That was great. Yeah, fat dragon was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's funny is like, I don't know how many people go in to make short films like we do in this game, or if they just go film the monsters. But, years ago, when we all got together, before digital editing, before it was common that people had their own at home, we had like digital tape cameras.

[Assistant] And we would like, do tests to go, how long is it from the time I push the button till it's actually recording? Yea, and it was usually a slight, couple second delay. We'd get like a camera and just start counting as soon as we hit it, like one, two, three, four, and then like play the footage back, and it goes, and the first, it's the first thing you hear, bleh, first thing you hear is four, like okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I hit record, I'll say when I hit record on for you act. Yeah, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? And you can see how much air is on the back of their tank. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey listen, if y'all do want to check out planetcraft, go to our video and click on the link.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, sorry about it Aidan, it sounds like a nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I feel like tonight, we're gonna have a competition on stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are. Yeah, we're gonna download it and like, okay, who can get the high score tonight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a sign on it, just a picture. Hot dogs on the barrel, yeaah. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a programming question, I guess. Can you, can you decide, like, uhm, when a sound plays, can you decide, like, how often it plays? Like, this might play one out of a hundred times. Is that something you can program in? Yes. Okay, cool. Yes, I can, yes. So we could have, like, secret audio or things that are rare. Yeah. You know, you might not hear until you get to a thousand points. Yup. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a fart. A fart sound. That's true. Oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I am curious, I am curious. What is the process of like, okay, I'm making a game, how do I get it onto the Steam marketplace?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So, yeah. Well, like, give us an example. What's a messy bit, if you make a game you're trying to get to Steam? What's a messy part?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are no levels with this game, right? It's just a high score game. It's play until you get the high score. A classic type of game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. A UK live show would be sweet. Better. One day. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we, uh, we got invited by Funcom out, uh, sunny Los Angeles. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got to preview, uh, Dune Awakening? We can't say anything about it, as right now we are still under the non-disclosure agreement. That being the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when this podcast, okay, so I was mistaken. When this podcast comes out, we can talk about it. Yes. The movie's out. The movie's out now. The movie's good. Yeah. The movie's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, obviously we don't know anything until we get our grubby little hands on a keyboard and mouse and we're able to play it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Visually it looks great. Visually I'm like, oh fuck yeah. It looks like an upgraded like Conan or something like that. It's like, okay, they're using Unreal 5. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They look like Dune, and they said like it's an alternate universe, Dune? Yeah. Which is, you know, good for them, for like, okay, we're making a Dune game, we gotta get away, like trying to make a game that works within the books or whatever. Right. Like, alright, fuck all that, let's just, let's make a game that exists in this universe, but is like a separate


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's you trying to build an empire instead of a house of traitors or whatever it's called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks pretty, but yeaah, I mean, you know, just based on the short thing we saw, I really can't say anything, yeaah, other than it looks good, um, like it's got vehicles, I love that, you can piss around on like a sand bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The building looks cool. And it sounds like there's like different areas of the map and they're gonna try to do like a seamless thing in between like the PvP areas of the map and the PvE areas of the map. Like if you go into certain zones, it's like, okay, other players are in this zone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess you're competing for more top tier resources, that's where the combat people, but if you're someone that just enjoys hanging out at the house and building, you can do that too. Depending on the game where you are. Jumping into PvP. Yep. Yeah. So yeah, it seems, uh, it seems like I got something cool cooking over there. I'm in. I can't wait to fly one of those, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so everyone's seen the trailer. Did anything pop out from the gameplay trailer to you guys? I was like, I can't wait to get a hold of that. From your memory. God, that building's shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wonder when they say there's an exchange. It's like, apparently you can build a structure, save that structure, and then you'll be able to go to some sort of exchange within the game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sell the blueprint. I don't know if that means for actual money or in-game currency. I was assuming it was in-game currency. I wasn't. So yeah, it's great to assume things. Yeah. I don't know. So that's uh, we'll see what that's all about in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like what they were telling, yeah, it sounded like the customization was gonna be pretty, uh, pretty heavy, which I'm in for. You know, if you're making a survival game, anything, it's like, let us customize all the colors in the world, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can probably jump on a, you know, public server and like you and a big group of friends like, nope, we're gonna be the top political faction server if you want. Go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it changes the landscape, I guess it probably changes the items out there that you can go and harvest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious to see how the, uh, if there's a narrative? Cause it sounds like there already exist political factions in the game. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you can, as a player, decide, I'm gonna work for this faction, I'm gonna do stuff for this faction. Or in some cases, like, I'm gonna do something that benefits all factions. Uh, but I'm curious, is there more of a guided narrative than like, say, Conan? Conan is like, aimless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, it's like you kinda have to make your own goals in Conan because, you know, there's, if there is a quest, I can't tell where it is. Well, we gotta read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, I mean, you kinda have to point in a direction though, like even Elden Ring is kind of a, it doesn't use as much of a guide, which I appreciate, but the fire pits kind of point you in the direction you should head next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the game looks, I mean, it looks great. It's probably gonna have a good community built around it for sure. Yes. And I'm sure, yeah, we're gonna play it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're doing a great job with the movies. I mean, visually, visually they're gorgeous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit. For sure on that level, like yeaah, you can't knock the filmmaking. Ugh. No, I did enjoy it, it was moving. Even, I had my daughter with us. Mhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it just worked out. I was like, okay, I had my daughter and they're like, can you come to LA? And I was like, I can, but can I, can I bring a 15 year old along?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And luckily they were cool with it, she got to go. She was not looking forward to watching the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was like, I watched the trailer for the first one, it looks boring. Not into it. But after the movie, she looks at me and she goes, that was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cool. That was a good movie. Yeah. So now she wants to go watch the first one and get caught up. There you go. She thinks Timothy Charmander is hot. Yeah. So hot. So hot. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, I mean, the movie's, I mean, my editor, you know, I, I bitch a little bit because my editor brain's like, ugh, you could chop that out, you could chop that out a little bit. And I still leave it in. Yep. Yea, but you know, teacher on- Sometimes, yea, he's like, you know, hey, here's a shot of sand and BWAAAAAAA, like okay, yea, that, is this-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean yea, I mean you can pick it apart with some silly shit and nitpicks, but yea, overall, great film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, quality filmmaking, and I can't wait to see the next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I think right as the movie ended, I looked at it as techier. Cause I was, I only thought there were two of them. Yeah. I just wasn't paying attention. And so, you know, it's getting towards the end of the movie and I'm like, wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, thank you Fun- yeaah, Funcom filled us up with hummus before we got to watch the movie. It was great. Hummus, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I fought through it, but it was, it was interesting. How would you describe it? Man, when you first, that's the thing. It's called Dunder Salt, right? So you put it, it looks like a little, like pebble. It looks like a Mentos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Yeah. But imagine just putting the saltiest fucking thing you can think of in your mouth. And just immediately like, oh no. Well not just salty. It wasn't just salty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay man, my piece I felt like was a damn roller coaster. Cause it started off awful, then kinda turned to sweet, then got awful again. And then like right at the very end it got sweet again. It's like a Gobstopper or something. But it's just layered of different type of flavor. Like yeah, good. And a mixture of sweet and ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Medicinal herbal taste. Okay, yeaah, yeaah. How do we sell this? This is trash. How do we sell this? Exactly. Say it's medicinal. Yeaah. It's like, oh, this is a, you know, this will make you V-Rile. You'll be able to go home to your wife and really give it to her. I love it. This is how they talk in Chicago now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they've been talking that way for a long time. Hey, have an old Chicago head, Jake. I also work for a Swedish liquor company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My stomach's upset just thinking about that candy. That uh, thund-thunder shit. Thundersoul. I wanna say thundersoul. So ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what else? Oh, I mean, while, uh, I went to LA a day early, cause I was, okay, if I'm gonna go, I'm just gonna go an extra day for myself. And, uhm, it just turned out that the hotel we were staying at was right beside Universal Studios.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I decided to hit that up, and that was wonderful. Awesome. Hadn't been out there, I mean I think I was out there once when I was really young, but I got to take my daughter out there. I got to do, uh, Super Mario World. Yeaah, I'm jealous. Man, how you go into that place is great, because yea, you see a little sign, Super Mario World, of course you see a pipe. So you walk in the pipe, and then you turn, and then you come out of the pipe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we rode the, uh, I guess because Bowser's Castle, it's, uh, it's basically a Mario Kart ride. Not really fast, cause you know, it's built mostly for kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're riding on this track, you're in your, uh, cart, uh, you have your steering wheel, which has some buttons on it, and you put on these goggles that allow you to see 3D images. So you're going through the track and you're shooting shells at other racers going by, and the racers are in 3D. So it was fun. It was neat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, augmented reality would be the best way to describe that. Beautiful. But yea, there's ghosts and Bowser's kids, you know, other, other cart, and shit's always coming at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're trying to, you know, pick up the question marks so you can get more shells to shoot. They make a game out of it. And at the end, you got your score. There's a high score for the day and shit like that. How long was the ride? What'd you get? I would say probably two minutes. Yeah. I mean like decently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, I mean yeaah, it's nothing crazy, it's made for little kids to be able to hop on to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a small section of Universal. Yes, a small section of Universal. That was the main attraction. Gotcha. Because like, there were other little places that, they have a cafe there, like you can get a Mario Burger or some shit. And then they have, uh, they do have other little games on the side for like kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it is mostly built for kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I didn't pick one up, but apparently there's this power wrist thing you can get. And if you have one of those and you jump on the ride, uh, I think you get extra shells to shoot. You get some sort of power up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ray, I tell you what, my favorite part of the 3D experience was when you got to Rainbow Road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, the rest of the place was cool. We did the Simpsons ride, which I guess used to be Back to the Future. Okay. Like, you sit down and you look at the doors and the doors still look like the DeLorean doors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, oh wow, okay. Retrofitting ride. They just really retrofitted. And even, and apparently even the ride, the hydraulics and everything, it's the same ride. It's just instead of doing a back to the future thing, you are just in Simpsons universe. Yeah. Flying around. But they did a great job with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite bit was the, uh, the tour, believe it or not. It was like a 45 minute tour where they kind of take you through the universal backlog. Oh sure. Show you some of the sets. But they have moments that are very, uh, like, like, right-ish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like, you will pull into one thing, it's like, okay, here's the King Kong thing. You pull into this room, and all of a sudden, like, you're in a tunnel, everything's black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're like, they gave me 3D glasses before the ride, and they're like, put your 3D glasses on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you put them on and then all of a sudden you're surrounded by a 360 degree screen and King Kong fights a T-Rex around your carts. Damn, they have upgraded that. And the carts moving and everything. I was like, this is great. Wow. They did such a good job with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have, yea. There were moments in the tour where, like, I was impressed by the little rides or whatever. It would be very, like, historical, hey, you're looking at the back lot, this was shot here, this was shot here, oh, let's pull in here, and all of a sudden King Kong's attacking the damn thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was, yeah, I was surprised by it too. I was like, oh, we just wanted to do it. It was like, okay, this would be a nice, relaxed tour. Did Jaws come at you? Yeah, you go by one bit and there's the Amityville, like a gas station on the water and that catches fire and then the shark comes out and kind of bites at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was only one part of the ride that I found cringy and that was at the very end. They have a fast and furious bit. Kind of the same thing as King Kong where you pull into this room and you're surrounded by a 360 degree screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the very beginning of the ride, you know, you're looking over and you see Vin Diesel and The Rock and all the actors and you can tell they don't want to do this shit. It's just so awkward because they're just standing there like absolutely still and like just saying the lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it just was like, it's like seeing him on a stage play or something was like, this feels awful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the ride itself is like, okay, you're in a cart and Vin Diesel. The ride itself was kind of cool. I guess when, when you actually were driving, it feels like you're going fast down a highway. Vin Diesel's knocking cars out from beside you and they're like, you know, they throw a hook at the cart you're on and it starts pulling the cart. It just feels like you're going fast. It's fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the acting, it was like, oh no. Oh no no no no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They should have just gone straight to the ride. They tried to set it up with a story like, what are you guys doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, just get into it. Like the King Kong one was great, you know, why? I didn't need a story. It's like all of a sudden, boom. Oh no, a T-Rex is about to attack us. Here comes King Kong and he kicks the T-Rex ass around you. Done. It's all it needed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fast and Furious 1, just like, nope, get to the part where I'm just like, boom, we're at a highway, and Vin Diesel's pulling us along for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get this, get this set up outta here, man. It is so awkward. It doesn't work. It's there to stay. But yea, can't recommend that enough. So yea, universal, yea, universal salad. I'm gonna grab that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, they busy busy. You know, you'll turn a corner and you'll see like a little park and like, oh yeaah, that's the park that's the opening of Friends. Yeaah. You're like, oh shit, it's just right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite, I think my favorite thing I saw is I look up and they have a bunch of the Agent Smiths. Yes. Yeah, that was cool shit. I was like, oh my god, that's from the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, it is neat. It's neat to be in a place with so much film history. Yeah. Like all these movies we've seen throughout the years and it's like, okay, wow, we're in the spot where all this shit got made. What a location. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I was here an extra day, but you guys literally what? You landed Monday, the event was Tuesday, you guys flew back Wednesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, Jack's drink came so late. I think, yeaah, you guys, you guys went back already. Yeaah. I was like, Jack was still there waiting for his drink. Somehow they messed it up. I've never seen a man drink a margarita that quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nice to have a face now, like, you know, we've been working with him in Conan. Yeah, it'll be like, I don't know what this kid looks like. So now it's like, oh wow, that's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if she's even gonna come at all. Right. It's probably exhausting. I mean, yeah, I mean, even I'm tired. It was a good trip. It was a long day, but we got back, what, last, last night? I didn't get in till 11?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then woke up today and now we're here. It's like, oh wow, yeah, it's been a whirlwind. One of those weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm hoping I see community posts about, here's our high score. Like, let's get people, like, really talking about it. Yeah, and sharing some high scores and shit. That'd be fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting all the attention it's getting. Yeah, we played the other night for what, like three rounds? Something like that, and I could have kept playing after we were done. Oh, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, well yeaah. Delay Grounded a week and yeaah, we'll do an episode of Lethal Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you, it, it does, uh, VoIP better than I've ever seen in any game. I love, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been a couple of other games that do it, but I love that it factors in how far away you are from each other. It factors in your environment. You know, if you're in a canyon, you hear echoing. If you're in a small room, you hear that just kind of like reverb. It's wonderful. Super immersive. Stuff we kind of do anyway on the channel. We add that stuff in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where most games don't have it, but this game's just like, yeah, let's, let's do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like someone can walk away from you and all of a sudden you feel isolated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is great. And I love that once you die, you're able to observe everybody else and easily bounce around. It's a gift. And yeaah, it led to some of the best laughs I've had in a long time playing a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, cut to the guy laughing. Like, uh, honestly. Cause some of those conversations are a lot of fun too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I ended up going and playing it with friends this weekend. And it was interesting. It was hard for me to convince them to get it. It's like, guys, you gotta try this game. They're like, I don't know. And I think, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one of my good buddies, he doesn't like scary games. Okay. But, and that game can be scary. It can be. But something about it, like, is, to me, like, kinda playful. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like an amnesia or it's not like some of the other, these other games that leaned hard into the fear aspect. It's like even though it's scary, it's, I don't know, it's like it's easier to just not care in that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in some instances there are, like, I know there are creatures that will grab you and haul you off before they kill you. Oh, okay. Yeah, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I love the walkie-talkie design. I love how you have a guy on the ship that can talk, you know, that can see the map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you where like stuff is and scrap is to pick up because the core of the game is simple. It's just land on planet, find stuff, bring it back to ship. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But man, pre- I mean, those guys, they are rolling in cash now. You know they are. They apparently, at least on Steam, outsold Call of Duty. Wow. Which was pretty amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, cause yeah, there are certain creatures that are smaller creatures that when you read the information about them is like, you know, this creature is pretty skittish if you attack it. So you can at least, yeah, probably swing a shovel at it. I know you can pick up signs, I think you can use signs as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There isn't a punch, yea. If you hit like, if you hit one, you dance. If you hit two, you point. I can see how that kinda looks like a punch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but those guys have two options now. Option one is just, you know, expand the game, make it better. Option two is retire. Because, uh, yeaah. They're probably done. Make it better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, well among us there were a thousand copycats of that. For sure. But, I really hope more people start using the VoIP, like I'd love that, uh, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah. I can see that working. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would seven days VR look like? The only thing I could think, you would have to, ah yea, you'd have to completely overhaul the menu system. It'd have to be a completely new UI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not for that, you know what, I'm kinda with you for that period of time, cause those headsets, I think once the headsets get smaller and a little bit lighter, I would be more inclined to play longer. But, you know, these headsets are kinda, you know, most of them are like big and kinda top heavy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like, you know, I, and you start sweating in it, and so eventually it's like, I don't want, I don't want to wear that for an hour and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can make it as crazy as you want, for sure. I mean, still, like, you know, stuff like that's cool, but you know, you're not gonna have a lot of game designers designing it specifically for that particular item.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if they can. But I mean, that's gonna be such a niche thing that, you know, whoever owns that already, you know, you want to have the space, then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, too, you gotta have the money to buy something like that. So that's just, you know, it would be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Supernesia, I think that's tough, probably tough for a wider market to adapt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do. Some of those games are, like, uh, what was it when I played, uh, my brain is just thinking about Lethal Company right now. This was, uh, Rec Room. Have anyone tried Rec Room?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody loves Rec Room. Yeaah. But that's the one, like, there's like this space shooting adventure that you can go on, but you're actually having to crouch to get behind cover, and I love, like, if your friend goes down, you have to give them a high five to revive them. That's great. It's wonderful. It's so immersive, and it's fun, but I mean, it looks like a kid's game. But yeaah, it's a lot of fun. Now VR's just gonna get better and better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I think, yeah. It's what took the fear out of a lot of it. It's like a death is more funny than scared. It's true, it's like you get to die and go in the room with everybody else who's dead. Or you get to watch your friends struggle and react to seeing if you're still alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god, yeaah. I played with Daniel and some friends. And, uh, I was trying to teach Daniel how to use the ship, cause he'd never used the ship before. So my other two friends, they hop off and they start walking towards the building. And I'm like, alright, Daniel, check this out. So this monitor, you see that white button? Hit that white button. He grabs the lever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you die, it's like you lose your equipment, cause yeaah, we lost like a walkie-talkie and a couple of flashlights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I love that Daniel did it. Yeah. And when we play, and yeah, you guys have seen this already, like, we didn't know what to do. We were going back to the company to sell stuff every time. What you're supposed to do is to wait for the last day. Okay. Because I think that's when the company sells it for the most profit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone! Well it's interesting, yea, it's like, even a game...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like Conan, I kinda, I, I, it's still a pain in the ass, but I've like started learning my way around the work benches, all 30,000 of them. At least one of us have. Yeah, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there's no way, I mean, if you played that game all the time and that was your only game, yes, you would probably be really, really good at it and know it in and out. We play Conan and Grounded and Seven Days and now Lethal Company and all these other games and we only play them once a week. So it's like we're never gonna get really, really, really good at a game and honestly we don't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I get what they're doing, like that game is built way more for PvP, and these large tribes, and you know, we're just, there's four of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kinda cool. Yeaah. No, that's cool. I think I know Conan does as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, there's always something in games where you're like, man, I wish this was a little bit leaner or different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Rockstar has said they're gonna drop a trailer in December.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I just yeaah, just with how good Red Dead looked, I mean god, GTA 6 is gonna look stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmmmm, if it goes with their other classic trailers, probably, I don't know, Minute?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, it's absolutely going to be cutscene shit, and just showing the world. That would be my guess. Based on history of what Rockstar usually does. They'll show a couple of images that give you an idea of what the world is, what the setting is, and then the title, GTA 6.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In what, Battlefront 2? Yea, the old one. Oh, it just made you start playing as the Empire or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, again, yeah, I haven't picked up any Nintendo game in a minute. My Switch has been kind of ignored ever since Zelda got done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they don't do like Call of Duty over there at Nintendo where they gotta try to churn one out every year. They take their time with their games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this justifies the cost. This is a nice new game and it feels different enough, you know, than the last one. That it doesn't feel like a cheap cash grab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, I mean, sales wise, it's probably doing fine, but it's getting major complaints from people because it feels like a kind of a rush product from what I understand. If Anthony were here, he'd tell you way more than I could. But apparently the campaign came out, and you know, these, the campaign in these games are usually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, you'd have to ask Anthony, he's way, he follows the Call of Duty franchise more than I care to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually you want a graphical upgrade, like. But the big selling point with these now is the multiplayer. Yeah. And I guess the mul- I don't know what they updated about the multiplayer because I don't like Battle Royales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. That'd be O.I.P. Rocker. That actually would be neat in a first person shooter game like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that feature. That is a fun feature in BattleBit, like yea, you kill a guy and then you just hear


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, that game is uh, it's mostly very friendly in my experience. Oh yea? Yea. It's not, I think because those characters look so playful anyway, I think it's more of like a sandbox-y, it's like, you have less, you know, Call of Duty attracts a lot of like try-hards and just, I don't know, military bros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they were fun to watch. So they were good enough, we reached out to them, it was like, hey, let's commission you, we commissioned them to do a bunch of them, and then like, we'll string them all together, it was like a big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His process is neat, so you know, he has the audio from our episodes, and then he'll fire up a program in Steam. I forgot what it's called, but it basically allows him to do, to record motion capture. And it's just like, you know, pretty much waste up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's just headset and I guess controllers or whatever, but he'll go through the episodes, he'll record the motion for each character, and then I think he brings them into Blender? Something. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But he brings it all in and then yea, he applies it to the characters. So yea, he's able to like, yea, animate the characters quote unquote pretty quickly. Because it all is just mocap. But he's a good actor, like that's what made those, when we first saw those episodes, I'm like, he's playing these characters very well. And it is all just motion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, Joe is like, he, he's, has been very well known apparently in the, um, Beat Saber community. He's been making custom Beat Saber maps for like years. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do dumb battle bit friends episodes. What an idiot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, yeaah. String it all together, make it a one long movie, like that's fun. I'm curious to see what the reaction to it is because, I mean, we're recording this, what, end of November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it comes out, it comes out in a couple days from when we're recording this. How long total?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. It's a great little movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, you don't need to watch a playlist anymore. Hmm. We could probably delete the playlist on this channel. Just tag and watch it here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no doubt. Well, characters are talking. I was just like, oh my god. Tone it, tone it down a little bit. It was pretty fascinating movie though. Not going into it. No, it's great. Great movie. Yeah. Yeah. I want to see Napoleon. I know that's out now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When's Barbie 2 coming out? Oh man, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. It's got that. There's not a lot of laughs going on in Oppenheimer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, it's like, some of that stuff is, uh, like, wait, what was the band, was it Motley Crue that was known for the, like, they wanted, like, just a bowl full of brown M&Ms?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Eminem thing, it turned out the reason the band did that is because when they handed a venue a big checklist, they had something cra- they had something crazy in there, and that was their way of knowing that the venue went through the whole list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was like, oh that's kinda clever, but it became known as this legend of like, oh they're so big they can ask for anything they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna circle back, you guys brought up the, uh, the hardware store earlier and it made me think, uhm, over Thanksgiving, uh, my brother-in-law was talking about this app he uses called Handy. Have you guys heard of this? I think I've heard of the app, but I don't know if the fuck it does. It's, it's, uh, it's basically ordering a handyman like Uber-style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One will just like, I'll take the job, I'm on the way. That's great. That is phenomenal. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was Thicke and I one time, we got picked up in LA by an Uber driver and the lady had her two kids with her. Really? Just in the, like, in the two front, like it was a van and the two kids were in the, the middle seat in their chair, in their like booster seats or whatever. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like, this feels weird. But eh, we got to where we were going. It was no big deal. But I just thought it was funny. It was like, you can bring it to your kids on your uber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had to go through Jacksonville with an armpit. Oh, I know. That sounds just so neat to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh shit, I saw a storage place not too long ago and the front row of many storages on the building had little, I guess,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but I'm wondering if like, some people are getting these mini-storages and then, you know, up front, it's like, okay, I go to yard sales, I buy shit, and then I can go to my mini-storage, and then on Sundays, I can open my little shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's so odd, it's like, I mean these big sound stages, you wonder if that's gonna be a thing of the past in 20 years just because being able to generate so many things like on your phone, I mean yeah, it's like, are you really gonna need all this space?
