[Assistant] I walked my kids to school. I didn't wear gloves. I didn't even wear pants. You normally wear shorts, yeah. Because I always wear them. Did you wear shorts today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always wear them, and the school's like two minutes away, right? Like, so it's just like, it's not worth getting changed to go. And, you know, my legs getting cold isn't really a problem, but my hands were so cold when I got back, uhm, I washed my hands because, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hygiene also, covid, you know, you just, I just, we just wash our hands every time we enter the house now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go to wash my hands and you know when you turn the taps on and the water runs cold for a while before it heats up or whatever? That cold water was warm on my hands. Like my hands actually warmed up a bit with the cold water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, it's a two minute walk up to the school. It's like, it's a two minute walk. It takes no time at all. Uhm, there's not even really enough time to get cold. My hands, like I said, my hands were cold, my legs were not cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there's no point in putting on, uh, like, you know, jeans or whatever because I just had my shorts on anyway. And also, what about like, you know, women who wear like skirts and dresses to work and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes. Yeah, like little, little ice balls, like forming on my, my, on my pubis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I wonder if they've ever been to the bottom of Titicaca. Like, that's a big one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if there's any point though, like, I wonder who decided one day, like, you know what, boys? That's it. Fuck it. We're going to the bottom of TD Kaka. Like, you know what I mean? I just can't, I can't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, I think it's more so that the people that named those places in the first place are the originating people of those places and everybody around there probably knew it as that for like thousands of years or whatever. I think it's so big. And then the British showed up and said let's name it Victoria like we name everything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, I mean like, uhm, in French, like, okay, the St. Lawrence River in Canada is Le Fleuve Saint-Laurent, which is like a little bit different, you know? Like, they wouldn't say Lawrence, for example, they would say Laurent, uh, and spelled differently as well. But it's a name, so it should be spelled the same, but it's different. I mean, it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every country has their own language and way of referring to something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might get like some big ups like you're killing it kings on like the net or whatever, like Twitter or whatever, like, ow, you're, you're so intrepid, you're fucking killing it bro out there exploring everything, but like back then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hanging out with the royal courts and stuff. Eventually they were. Eventually. But like, remember when the vikings discovered, like the, when they discovered England for the first time? The other vikings were like, what the fuck are you guys doing? You can't fucking go on the sea! Loki will kill you! And, you know what I mean? Like they were, they were not having it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I know, I know, that's what I'm saying, like, it's probably okay nowadays to lose a finger. But like, back then, I don't think it would have been worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually read a news article that was like kind of interesting for once and a little bit upbeat for once as well. It was on BBC News and it was the story about a 117 year old woman who lived to see her 117th birthday after overcoming


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, but we haven't seen the secret cloning vats, like, beneath the surface. We can't penetrate the crust just yet. But man, once we do, and we blow that baby open, whole shit, watch out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't get me wrong, it must have been exciting, but news traveled very slowly back then, so like maybe once in your lifetime you would hear about this kind of stuff and even then you wouldn't understand it too much because you're probably like peasant folk or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just wasn't that glamorous or glorious at all because like they would turn up and they would start mingling with the people from these other continents and they would just swap diseases instantly because neither of them had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, sorry, I mean, I'm just saying, like, I mean, she, you know what, I don't really, like, watch anything with her in it, so like, she doesn't really, you know, either way, but every time I see her, I just think, like, she's just gonna bust out Blitzkrieg bop or something, you know, like, it just, I find she just has, like, that mop, you know, the Ramones mop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's alright when it's somebody that you know, but like the problem is with those shows is they try to get a lot of people on, you know, like to make the show go on for longer. Right. And then you end up with like, Boris Johnson's sister and stuff. And it's like, okay, I'm never gonna guess who this is because I don't fucking know who this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's fair enough, but I feel like that every season would not be like that. And that's not really star studded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because uhm, they've had these successful careers that they're just sort of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either still going with, or they've just, they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then when you're written out, you're like, okay, well, I still need to work, I guess. Like, I mean, it's not, I'm not comfortable enough to really just stop working right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must be kind of hard to like find work, you know, because everybody recognizes you, like especially like Bianca from EastEnders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I've seen her in anything else, and it's probably because everybody just knows there's Bianca from EastEnders, right? Yea, it's tough. It's like Joey from Friends, you know, like. Exactly. He's never gonna get another job other than being Joey on Friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, John Thompson, yeah, he was like a kind of, uh, he was, he was sort of like the Tom, the Tom Sizemore of like the Fast Show, right? He was just like, not like a leading character, but he was just always in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids try to guess who the artist is or whatever, or kids react to the 90s or something like that. And they were playing a bunch of Wu-Tang tracks and like nobody knew who they were. Cause I guess they just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grew up listening to different hip hop and stuff. But it was like so surprising, it was like one of the lowest ones, it was like 2% or something. It's like the only person who guessed was this girl who was like, oh I love hip hop, I'm so into it, and like knew like all of the older like old school acts and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's upsetting in some ways though, because they were so relevant. Like when I was, uh, you know, a teenager and stuff like that, you know, everybody knew who they were. They were like this big, hot, you know, amazing band stuff. And to, and to an extent, like if you're into hip hop, like you most definitely will have heard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of Wu-Tang or, or be really familiar with them. But for anybody outside of that sort of sphere, it's surprising like that they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have any clue, you know what I mean? And uh, also I was watching the same thing, it's uh, it's one of those like rabbit holes you just end up going down on YouTube, but it was the same thing, it was like kids react to the 90s and like, they were playing like Smells Like Teen Spirit, they were playing like a bunch of like Guns N' Roses from Use Your Illusion and all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's meant to be referred to! Like, this is, I was like cutting edge music at the time, you know? Like, it feels, it made me feel pretty old, but it was, it was nice to see people's, like, reaction to stuff that I love, you know? Like, it was, I guess that's like the point of the whole show or whatever, but it was really good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. I mean, absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same like over here when they have Ed Balls on something. It's like, okay. Like, you know, it would be cool if like the Masked Singer was actual people who are known for singing or music or whatever and maybe not. Well I know that they are, but in a band. Some of them are. Sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it. I would prefer it if like all of them are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think it would be easier to play the game, play along with the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No fucking chance. I wouldn't even be able to. It's the same with the guy from NSYNC. Like, unless you were big into them. Like, man, I used to listen to New Kids on the Block and I couldn't tell you who any of them were now. Like, I remember maybe one of them. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you, if you haven't sort of like, uh, grown up around it, or, you know what I mean? Like, it's a, it's a, it's a big cultural thing in North America. Like, it's on TV all the time, whatever. It's huge. If you're from another country, it'd be like trying to explain to somebody in America, like, uh, cricket or, or something, you know what I mean? It's just like, they're never gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when you're growing up, it's like, uh, like it's certainly like for me, like probably when I was sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like 10, probably from like 10 to 14, that was like the sports craze years, you know, like everybody would come to school and talk about like the games that were on and what your favorite team was and we'd watch like all of them, so like hockey, baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] American football, basketball, everything. And there was like seasons overlapping with each other leading up to like big championship finals and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but this is, uh, these, especially shows that have only been running for a couple of seasons, that's, that's like the still sort of like ground floor territory, right? That's when people are, it's when the, it's when a show's been going for like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Wendy Williams, uhm, I think Wendy Williams has had lots of controversy around being not like a gr- I think this is the same person. I'm not super familiar, but I think there's a story about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The jokes are terrible, but the people, the people's reactions reading them or like, you know, um, delivering them is priceless. Like there's so many clips of it on YouTube and stuff. It's so fucking funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, look it up, Aaron Carter, I think one of them like, went off the fucking edge or something and just like, is, is kind of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Yeaah. Jesus. But he's like, apparently just like, I mean, it doesn't mean anything, but like, cause he just had this like clean, you know, boy band image, but now he's just like covered in tats and he just looks like he's like a fucking heavy Class A drug user and stuff. It's pretty funny. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another one that was like kinda okay-ish, like we used to watch it every once in a while, not so much anymore, but like a couple of years ago when it first came out was The Voice. Remember that one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got Will.i.am and, uh, Tom Jones and it had, um, dude from, um, Savage Garden and they had, um, What's-her-face, uh, singer from, uh, America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when they're making fun of them or whatever, it was like at the point where the show was going, like the judges had to like create teams of people. So they, they, they would like turn around, like they couldn't see the person, they'd hear them sing. And then if they like what they heard, they'd turn around and then see the person and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were some people that were like really talented. It was pretty crazy actually. But I don't know if any of them have gone on to like do Christmas singles or anything like that. I feel like that's all done now, right? Like you're Gareth Gates and all that kind of stuff. It doesn't happen as much anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the last really big, the really last big breakaway, like, off one of those talent show shows, like, for me, I feel like it's like Susan Boyle, but like, maybe there's been others since, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't think of anyone, like, post her that's gone on to like, you know, make it even, like, somewhat big. Like, Susan Boyle, like, did pretty well. Like, I mean, you know, she's, people recognise the name at least. Yeah, but because she was minion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well anyway, his show came back and I watched it last week. Uhm, I wouldn't make a point to watch that show, it was just on and I just happened to be watching it. But he had, uhm, Jack Dee was one of his guests and, uh, Jack Dee is a little bit older.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, but he's still really fucking funny. Like, uh, he made me laugh like multiple times, which I was surprised at because, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like Jack D, Lee Evans, like all these guys from the sort of same era. It feels like you could lump them all together and just say like, ah, they used to be funny, but like maybe they're not anymore. Or maybe they still are. I don't know. I don't keep track, but I was just surprised that Jack D was still very funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll send, sing the theme tune to Sean the Sheep as well. And play it as the farmer in the first season of Sean the Sheep as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time this goes out, we could be crashed out of the tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So wait, the first World Cup in 1930, oddly enough, had an odd number of teams in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was 1930, so group A has Argentina, Chile, France and Mexico. Argentina won that group. Next group had Yugoslavia, Brazil and Bolivia. Yugoslavia won the group. Group 3 had Uruguay, Romania and Peru. Uruguay won that group. And group 4 had the United States, Paraguay and Belgium. We weren't in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why we never entered a team into the Olympics until we could secure the fact that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because we play as Britain at the Olympics doesn't mean that we have to play as Britain. Because I'm pretty sure people would love it if we had to be just Britain. Like UEFA would like that, it would make their life easier. It turns five teams into one team, you know, that's a lot simpler. Or four teams it would be, and Ireland would obviously still be Ireland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, for some reason there, we've sort of maintained that separation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody thinks it's Russia, but technically it's France because they consider all those little islands and bits of France as France. So if you look at the French national team, uhm, a lot of those players essentially come from outside, you know, they're sort of demographic, their history if you like is from outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you look at a lot of their best players, I mean, Kilian Mbappe for example, Mbappe is not what I would call


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily for Killian Mbappe, there's such a daft of strikers these days that he could miss 10 penalties in a row and no one will, no one will care. They'll still pay 120 million euros for him or whatever. There's just no strikers out there. Nobody's making strikers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if you look at uhm, the Premier League, a lot of teams don't have like, a really good striker, like it's a hard thing to get. It's, it's just a big thing, big clubs are struggling to get like, really classic centre forwards. When I think back to the 90s, if you look at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number of strikers there were, especially in Serie A, it's re- that's the Italian league by the way. There were a ridiculous number of really, really top draw strikers, and now there just aren't. Clubs are genuinely struggling to find really top strikers out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think it's to do with the way that the young players are trained. So if you, there's a, there's a guy called the secret footballer, I think it's a secret footballer, and uhm, I've read a couple of his books, and he's at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's an ex-pro, and he sort of spills the beans on what it's like as a footballer and stuff like that, and he said that you'll notice that there's a lack of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crank out midfielders and you can make more money from it. Like that's much easier to just crank out midfielders. That was his claim anyway. And the thing is, if he's wrong...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are all the strikers at? That's all I'm saying. Where are all the strikers at? There is a serious lack of, of good strikers. No, yeah. Compared to the 90s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a lot of it is absolute shit. That's what they don't tell you on the box. When you purchase Premier League, it's a lot of it is absolute wank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like just boring fucking football plodding and just dull. It's really only some of the games that are really, really exciting. A lot of it is shit. Anyone that watches the Premier League will back me up on this. I'm pretty sure that they would and say yeah, it was shit. A lot of the teams are just boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we played there, a lot of the time that we played it was fucking boring. Uhm, half the teams in there are just fucking dull. They're all desperately just terrified, clinging on. Because if you get relegated, you end up where we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Purely, purely because my mate Bob is a Sunderland fan. Right, right. Yes. Yes, they are the most pathetic team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they, they were a top flight team for a long time. And then they got relegated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your road only. And you keep making all these expensive adjustments to your house to attempt to improve its value and none of them works and they all break down and it's all shit and you can never sell the house and you're desperate for the market to come back around your way. That's where Sunderland have ended up. To put it in terms of the non-footballing I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine Ryan Reynolds and his mate, you know, doing it for the movie or whatever because they want to make a show about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we obviously had a very long history, especially the 70s and 80s, of crowd trouble and hooliganism, and we exported that wholesale to Europe. And, like, those sort of firms, if you like, they're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hard man looking for a rock and all that kind of stuff. There is a difference though between the fans, which is that, yes, there's crowd trouble in the Netherlands, there's crowd trouble in Germany, in Russia, in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they didn't. This was like in Hearts of Iron IV when the US has hardly any military. Yeaah. They had like ten lads and one boat and they were like, uh, we're a country. And everyone was like, yeaah, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and the multi-shot things and everything. I have found that melee heroes are basically useless, that's how it seems to me. Yes, they feel super weak at the start. What's the point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm guessing that you are a landlord and you have to fix up some houses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it does, it does feel, I mean obviously we've definitely spoken about early access and that sort of model before. I don't know, uhm, I don't know if there's a way around it for small studios. People's expectations for games and the features and how it looks and how it plays and all that is quite high. So if you are a smaller studio,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you meant to get this game out without going through a big publisher and getting them to okay it? Which is like a, I feel like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's two ways that this can go. You can either have early access where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Customers are the guardian of what makes it through and what doesn't, essentially, because the shit early access games drop off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because people go, this is garbage and they don't want it. Uh, but at least they're making the call. The other version is a gatekeeper of a publishing studio who goes, no, we're not going to okay this concept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you never get the game. And for some people, a lot of those games, those more niche games, are exactly what they want. I mean, I'm thinking of, say Battle Brothers, which was early access and all the rest of it, and was fairly limited early on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If people hadn't supported that, would it have got made? Would expansions have been made eventually and stuff like that? I doubt it. It's frustrating, but I think it allows the customers to be the gatekeepers. The problem is that essentially you have to be a gatekeeper by spending money, which is the downside. So you buy a game that is essentially, you have to like the look of it first, they have to show off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean Rimworld dude, Rimworld is like a prime example of that. Think how long that was around for. I was playing that when it first came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very long time ago, like a lot of other people, and the fact that he was able to stick with it and keep going was because of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I've seen a lot of people doing on TikTok and stuff like that. TikTok's about to start and they're like, oh, let me just take a sip of my Dasani water and just put that down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from a website talking about caffeine addiction and it gives all these things about like treatment and symptoms and at the end it says prevention. To prevent a caffeine overdose, avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine. Like that's essentially the only way you're realistically going to get a caffeine overdose is by just necking coffees


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So wait, it says here, hold on a sec, 2011, 84 degrees. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Yeah. That's what it says on Wikipedia. These are unverified.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be, you would be close to, I mean, I think going outside, going outside would be, I mean, you know when you, uh, when you open an oven, you get that wave of heat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be insane. I mean, you would, I would presume that the moment you were outside you would sweat immediately and profusely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. They bring it home, and they're like, I've got this new Play-Doh in there, and I take one look at it, and I think, as soon as your back is turned, this shit's going right in the bin, cause this is a fucking nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just hunkering down, getting ready for July, oh, the third.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how like people plan their summers out? They're like, yeah, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. Lockdown restrictions are going to be eased. You know, we're going into this new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked everywhere and I found they were selling nappies at the pub, so that was really good. Came up trumps there. Sorry I was gone for seven hours, but I did get them in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really neat game. It's really good. It's well done. It's, it's just really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you kinda can get to a point like that where you might be just doing a loop just to get resources to build a building you need or do an upgrade or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes they just sneak up on you too, because the way that you summon a boss is the loop that your guy is going around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cards that you're given randomly throughout your encounters with, you know, enemies on this loop give you cards which are tiles to sort of change the map around. So you can add like forests or rocks and all of these things give you different bonuses and stuff. But the more of them you place, it progresses you towards summoning the boss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so sometimes you're like, okay, yeah, finally I got these rocks that I needed to place here or whatever. And then all of a sudden you're like, oh shit, I've just accidentally summoned the boss. I didn't realize I was so close to summoning him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of nice the way they do it because the tutorial is very quick and it's, it's, you know, you're, you're playing, you're doing an actual loop while it's sort of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's this nice, uhm, you get this nice progression, but you get this nice, like, discovery sort of, uhm, weaved into it as well, where you're like, oh my god, this works really well, I've just figured out that if I put a, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know though, I wanna say, like, yeaah, I agree, generally, but I think, I think for like younger generations, more so. Cause I would say that, I don't know if you guys have this experience, we're all more or less from the same sort of generation, but like, people that I went to high school with and stuff,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is just from, you know, occasionally like, you know, stumbling across somebody that I used to know and finding out through them, you know, who they're following, if they follow people that I used to know as well, you know, just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to get an idea of like what social circles, but most, I feel like most people, maybe I'm generalizing, most people that I went to school with, it feels like they graduated from say high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't have it when we were in high school. It wasn't a thing. It didn't, it didn't become popular for you know, like my generation, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but she saw, there was this woman who was, I think she was on like uhm, some reality show, I can't remember which one it was, but apparently, so she got onto this show,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And her ex-boyfriend was jealous or, I dunno, just mean-spirited about it or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And had a whole bunch of images of her like, you know, not just nude, but like being kinda like sexually explicit with it as well. And so he just circulated them to everybody. To like her parents, everybody just sent these things out into the world for all to see sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're not leaving a massive footprint. Like, you know, if I dated somebody in high school for a couple of weeks and then it didn't work out, well, fair enough. You know what I mean? The worst that would happen was maybe like, oh, a rumor would go out after saying that I had bad breath or something like that, you know, but there was no like pictures of me


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I see something like this and I think that's crazy. It's so easily avoidable, but I guess maybe it isn't. Again, coming back to this difference in generation because again, we didn't grow up with that kind of stuff. You know, I would never dream of taking a picture of my penis and sending it to somebody, but nowadays it's more,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such a weird thing. Like I said, I just think, oh my god, she could have just easily avoided that by not doing it, but maybe there's pressure to do that kind of stuff nowadays that I'm unaware of or whatever.

[Assistant] There's gotta be more to it though, right? Like for me, I think it's not about getting a picture of a penis. It's the whole, uh, act of, you know, doing something that's like, you know, risqué or forbidden or something like that. There's more to it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think that's where you're wrong, Flex. I think this is a wrong assumption to make. Because unless that person explicitly says, yes, you are welcome to lay your hands on my todger. Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I've been married for like, uh, 18 years. Uh, and when we got married, there was no social media whatsoever. I haven't done any sexy texting or anything like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't even know what to do if somebody even initiated a sexy text. Like, I don't even talk to anybody. It's crazy. Let's try it. No, I don't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like with a lot of this stuff though, uh, I mean, maybe just me again, maybe I'm just like old fashioned or whatever, but like, man, if somebody's going to send me like, uh, you know, a picture of their tits or whatever, I mean, I could just go look at any tits I want on the internet, you know, like I can watch a full porn if I want to, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But my point is, I just don't care, you know what I mean? Like, okay, maybe I'll get my hands on those tits at some point, great, maybe not. Again, I could just go watch porn instead. But this isn't for you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes no sense to me. I don't know why anybody would ever do that or, or, or even, or even entertain somebody else doing it for them. Like it's just such a weird-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a very, especially during, with COVID and stuff, not being able to get out. I bet you the amount of, uhm, sort of like, you know, I'm married but I'm sending pictures of my dick to somebody else cases have risen like crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think it's not something that they're, you know, actively collecting. This is stuff that just exists and when they need to access it, they know that they can, right? They have the tools, they have the people, they can, they can get onto the cloud or whatever. Even, you know, Apple are always like, the FBI is not getting anywhere near our data. They are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay Apple, I mean I hate to break it to you, but if the FBI need to access your dick pics, they're gonna get them. One way or another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He almost feels like we could save ourselves a lot of time and hassle and just uhm, and just sort of accept that these people are just gonna carry on like this. Cause they just are anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's tons of people who are doing it that aren't being caught, you know, they're more careful or whatever. And the thing is, in a lot of cases, these guys aren't, they don't regret doing it. They regret being caught, but they're certainly not remorseful about, you know, having a low moral fibre or anything like that. They're just like, uhm, you know, they're just, they're just fucking weird people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking of sending this picture to somebody and see what your lawyer says. Take advice from your lawyer on that and see what he comes back or she comes back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might as well though, I mean it's so fucking weird, like the whole thing, again, just, just weird, I just don't understand it at all. I don't know how you do that and think to yourself after you're done, that was a great use of my time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but like, I mean, the thing is, okay, fair enough. Somebody sends you a picture of their, say that this penis is just perfect. Okay. It's glistening in the sun and it's perfect length and it's the perfect width and everything. And you're like, tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a perfect penis. And then when you meet up with this guy and his perfect penis and you- and you have sex with him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about like those bikini cut men's underpants and stuff? You gotta look good in those. I wouldn't look good in those, for example. I could never, uhm, do that modeling. So like, my hat goes off to these guys who can pull it off. That's, that's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not gonna go play with those hat films boys again, are you? And I went, please mom, I want to go play with hat films. They're like, no. No, they're bad influence. You come back from hat films and you're all sweary. You're talking about, uh, you're making risqué jokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what? Like Elvis. What was in the 60s? What was in the 60s? Of the Beatles. Beatles. Yeah, it's huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The end of the 70s you had like punk and stuff as well. Is that leather jackets? Oh, you had leather jackets into leather jackets with studs and mohawks. And then everyone just went all brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jeremy, like, it's nice to have a variety of choice so that you can pick what you want. I realised that that has also, this whole variety of choice has also led to the disastrous echo chambers of earthers, flat earthers and, you know, climate deniers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go into it now and tell me what your liked songs are, what you're like. So for example, I liked a song yesterday called Power Snake, which is about like Jormungar, the big worm in Nordic mythology, by a band called Emblas Saga, who only sing about like Norse


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But nowadays because of this, I mean, Pandora was the original way to like associate music with other music, right? Where you would find similar stuff, right? So you'd pick it, the whole point of Pandora back in the day was that you'd type in something you like and it would throw up other things and you're like, oh wow, yeah, I do like these. It was kind of this much easier way to just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, it used to be that all these heavy metal bands had to have this indecipherable font, you know, where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well from, cause I'm listening to like a load of dwarven like, um, mining songs and stuff, cause the thing is Diggy Hole is on my Spotify, right, just occasionally. And so that links into these other, cause there's a, cause Windrose, who are that metal band, did the cover of that. There's loads of other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's loads of other dwarf kind of rockers, so there's like fantasy, fantasy metal, so I've got like a band called Beast in Black, a band called Bloodbound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know whether these are as much real bands as just a guy making music in like a fucking shack in like the frozen north of Melmö or somewhere, do you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ordered this burrito the other day from Deliveroo and I realised they didn't even have like a location. They just, it's just a guy's house, you know, that he just makes them and, you know, or they've got a little kitchen in there and they only do it on Deliveroo now. So it's like stuff like that. Like this, you can have a metal band that seems like a really cool metal band with pictures


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could be like a huge fan of this metal band, but then find out that they don't exist. But it doesn't matter, because I guess the point is that I'm not a huge fan of them, because I don't actually know their name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weirdly, looking at this liked songs list, I obviously like these songs, and then instantly forget what the band's called, and instantly forget what the name of the song is, and then it's just in my list, do you know what I mean? It's such a weird time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also like, I think SEO more than anything, you know, especially on Spotify, like, you know, these tracks need to sound similar enough and have a name that's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of the games also have to put like stupid shit in their title. You know, you can often tell a game on Steam that's been ported from iOS because it will have some fucking iOS title. Do you know what I mean? It's like so weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's mental. Anyway, I wanna hear what's on your Spotify, uh, P-flags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Driving music, very different to chilling music, very different to focusing music, very different to like, you know, playing doting music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I know some people was like, don't use Spotify, use some other thing, and blah blah blah, and it always costs, you know, they always complain that the Spotify premium ads and stuff, but the thing is like, for music on Spotify, obviously all the bands get paid, if you put a Spotify, a Spotify, put a whole cost on Spotify,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we don't get any money from that. We only get money from ads. So that's why even if you have Spotify premium, you still see ads on the podcasts because that's the only way podcasts can monetize, right? On Spotify. But it comes through Spotify's platform, so it should be kind of organized by them. Anyway, I don't think Spotify make it clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That when you sign up to premium, you still get ads in podcasts. Anyway, that's on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking let us know, like just, just tell us. Just complain. We, we, I see, we see your complaints and we, we, we raise you, uh, please just keep complaining because it helps us be better. I always look at complaints and I'm like, oh shit, I want to be better. That's generally my response to a user.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And they said she'd never played against men. Of course she had. And so I think that it was obviously a part of a dramatic situation, but they could have just changed their name. Do you know what I mean? Beth Harmon doesn't a real chess player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't think so. I think they, they did reference some big chess, famous chess players, I'm sure, you know, when they were talking about moves and oh, this is something Bobby Fischer did or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they didn't even do that because it was set back in the day before all of these, quite a lot of the modern people are well known. So anyway, I don't know how you felt about that, but I thought it was quite funny because we're obviously big fans of that show. I don't know whether you thought she had a point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, I can see how they could slip through the net and upset people, you know, because it's just obviously just a throwaway line, isn't it? But it does sort of establish her as this standout sort of character, right? That she's unique or special or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, different or somehow, you know, so that is, you know, the first one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, when I, it kind of, because she's fictional, it kind of does belittle, I think you, it, the danger of, I guess, the Queen's Gambit is that some, a lot of audience will think this is real and a real biography of a real person is kind of usurping the, the achievements of this, um, Russian Chetnona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gaprindashvili, who's not actually Russian, she's Georgian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. They should have said British instead. Yeaah, I can see how this stuff happens. It's just laziness, or rushing, or a lack of care. But, you know, obviously it's upset her. And, you know, what other effects has it had? We don't fucking know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man. Uh, I love that. I think that is how it works. Uhm, I love those shows where you do see someone


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't know whether the situation is a haggling one. That's the problem. You know, you can't go into Dixons and start haggling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't reckon any, I've seen this though. Like, cause I watched this thing about how, cause when I was in Rome, there were loads of these people giving up, you know, the bracelet thing we talked about where they put a little bracelet on you and then sort of, you know, say it's yours, you bought it and it's the other thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the lookout, I, I just, I see, I think I've had such a jaded gaze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I see everything through this eye of suspicion. I cannot see like a starving man on the, on the pavement without thinking, which network is this starving man part of? You know, where's the big fat mafia guy coming along to take his cart behind the scenes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God knows. I don't know if it's that thought out, but I'm a little, I'm just a little bit like, you know, I'm just sometimes a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've chatted about this before, but, you know, we're being scammed in plain sight, so why couldn't we be scammed behind the scenes? That's what I'm saying. Uhm, so, another interesting piece of news, they are making expendables for, I noticed this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're adding, uhm, uh, what's his name, Tony Jaa, from Ong Bak and some of the other martial arts movies that you might have, you probably know what he looks like. Uhm, he's old now, and therefore he's joining the cast of old men in the Expendables. He's now become Expendable himself, he's reached


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Wesley Snipes, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, punch younger men in the face for the last 30 years and we like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, but that's the thing, maybe you don't know you're watching it, because think about this, right? James Bond, elderly man, eating up young men. Well I don't know, you don't even watch those though, that's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Manscaped, there is the performance package 4.0. You can go to manscaped.com slash triforce to get 20% off and free shipping. That's manscaped.com slash triforce. They throw two free gifts into their performance package, 4.0, uh, some boxes, a little travel bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think there's like, sometimes you hear about these very small percentage of women who actually do prefer older gentlemen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most people, as you know, go through life, and us included, just to get there, the centre of the universe, and they're the only person in the world, and other people don't matter. And certainly on the internet, you know, when you have sort of a feeling of anonymity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can, I can handle that word. Uh, uh, you, you, you just do whatever, you know, you just go for it and people, you don't think about the consequences of the people you've disgusted, um, waking up to your gross, wrinkly old man dick and a picture of your Morris Minor. That's what I call my wrinkly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Celebrities just doing stupid stuff because they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling like, feeling like they're somehow justified because they've seen it on the telly and they feel like that's how they're supposed to behave. Um, you know, and then they end up getting arrested, you know, for, for trying to fight the person who's being, you know, sentenced in court or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're constantly unaware of the lessons that we're learning from TV and sometimes very naive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is an exact example though of our perception from what we get in media and TV that anyone who's a man who works with children is somehow a creep, because that's just how it is, right? Whereas actually 99.99% of male teachers are not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creeps, uhm, I'm sure. And as a result, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we get, we get this delusion. It's like why plane crashes are much more scary. You know, lots of people won't take planes because they're scared of them crashing. Whereas actually,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an exciting event, but travel is the safest way to travel. And so we get this, this false sense of, of reality from Hollywood. And it's, it's dangerous to, to, to fall into the trap and also we should be aware of it. And so that's why maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to hold them to account, especially now Netflix have bought all of Roald Dahl's books, which are mental. Yeah, I saw that, yeah. By the way. Yeah, they bought the whole...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll be interesting to see what they do with that. Anyway, that is, that is this week, thank you for listening everyone, it's been wonderful to have you joining us, and we will see you all next week! Be safe, love one another, be good to each other. Alright, goodbye! Goodbye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, yeaah. I mean it, it produced a lot of, uh, it produced a lot of fairly successful people that you wouldn't really think came from something else. Like a lot of comedy writers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, it's a weird one for sure, but yeaah. It's a, what a, what a mix. What a mix of emotions regarding news. It's such a weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think yeaah, I think that was a big part of why they did the boxing match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, take longer to die off than others. You know, like some people just wanna resolve their issues like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, look at my neighbors in the parking situation. They've resorted to medieval times to resolve there. I'm just joking. My, my neighbors have not ever assaulted each other that I'm aware of, but I was just trying to make the point that it happens all the time. Are they getting pretty close? No, not even really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like maybe you're only obsessed with it because you're interested in doing it yourself. I could see you with a blood boy one day, you know? You strike me as the type. I don't think that's hot, no, but you seem to think that it's hot, somehow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are a lot of holdups too. Really, it's really controversial too. It's unlikely to ever be supported.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, stem cell research, I, again, I, I, I don't know what I'm talking about, but I seem to remember there being a lot of, um, uh, opposition by, like, by religion in America as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And usually if, if, if, uh, religion, uh, has an issue with something in America, it will hold it up, right? Like it's, they're very powerful financially, influential with, uh, you know, the government and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so many different moving parts, you know, like, uh, but it is, it is interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, of course. Finding people that are like-minded and then doing things that you can to increase that influence, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, of course, playing chess together, you know, throwing some javelin at the beach in the dark or whatever, like, uh, anything you can to somehow...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's so hard, I can't really, I can't justify it at this moment in time, going to the movies by myself, like I, my wife would probably be like a little bit upset about that, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just everything about it was good. Like, you know, like their cool house and like, uh, just all the, all the characters, the children and everything. It was just, just a great movie. It was a great movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did that one there. Was it the Isle of Dogs or whatever? Yeah, that was brilliant. I really loved that. My kids were watching it the other day, but I still haven't seen it. I should probably watch it, get around to watch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More so than like the most recent ones, you know? It's been really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goes Wrong Show is just a BBC comedy, it's like, uh, I don't know how to explain it. You might like it, you can check it out, it's on iPlayer or whatever, it's called The Goes Wrong Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, check it out Flax, watch it with your kids, see what they think. My kids love it, they think it's funny. Like it's just, it's kinda dumb, but it's pretty funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. There was a lot of references in that in Ready Player One lost on me as well. Like some of it obviously I knew, but some of it was I think they probably had to compromise because they wanted to get more demographics in or whatever you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, you know what I mean, I've played 20 years worth of games since, or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like just playing the game again might remind me of that, but like I'll always just kind of remember it anyway sort of thing, right? Or even like Diablo 2, I tried to play Diablo 2 Resurrected and it was like, yeah, great. They've done a good job. It's, it's Diablo 2 for sure, but like there was, there was so much missing, you know, like I was missing like my,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking, uh, yeah, my mom's basement. Five empty cans of Mountain Dew and, uh, you know, my, uh, my, my, my zip pads next to my desk. And you know what I mean? Like there's, it's, it's the feeling that's missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so it feels like it's nostalgic enough, but at the same time it almost feels false too, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like at all the supermarkets, it's like, there's like the bargain Halloween stuff next to just like aisles of celebrations and like quality street buckets and stuff. Like it's there, they've been stocking up for months, right? Like they're just, they're ready for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a lot to sort out and stuff, but I don't think people should be putting trees and stuff up yet. I'm, like, if you put up your tree at the start of December, I'm okay with that, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever. But like, even then, halfway through December is fine, right? I think having a Christmas tree for two weeks is reasonable, no? You don't need one for like, a month and a half. It's a long time to have a Christmas tree up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking hell, man. Yeah, I don't know, I think just keeping it simple is pretty good. Like uhm, like when my kids are older, like there's a big bonfire, there's like 4,000 people like out in one of the parishes or whatever. My son, like a bunch of his friends from school were going, he's like, oh, can we go? And I was like, ah, we can't go to that. Like it's, we'll go one day, but man, it's just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how to skirt the line between being miserable and not wanting to do anything and then my son missing out on potentially stuff or, but being able to explain to him that it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All kind of disappointing as well, you know, like you feel like you want to do this stuff, but like it fucking sucks when you do it. You know what I mean? But like, I guess he has to experience that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of this stuff is still around, and it's always been bad. Remember when you were a kid, the slush puppy maker, soda stream, the ice cream factory and stuff, all that stuff sucks, and they still make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well those ads are always, they still make them, like, if you watch any, any, uhm, tv networks, like, you know, like, uh, like CITV or something like that, where they have ads, and mostly for toys, like aimed at kids. It was the same, like, when we were growing up, like, you see, like, if, if they're selling Ninja Turtles,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the reality is you get it and you're just like playing with it like on your bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, or in your carpet or whatever, and it's like, I dunno. Like, even when I was a kid, I was always disappointed. Cause it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you lose, you lose the projectile almost immediately. Oh, instantly. Yeah. Instantly. So you're just left with this dude with a backpack that has nothing to fire because it was like one specifically shaped thing, like it was like in a, in a T shape or whatever that could fit into the hole and then load it into the spring thing like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of toys now are just like, like, gotcha toys though. It's like, you don't know, you get a pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with like something in it, but you don't know what it is, and you have to try to collect it all. Yeah, they're the worst. You just end up with all these doubles and triples and quadruples, and I guess, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it hasn't changed much at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From what I've seen, it's, it's just all the same shit. All the dolls that poop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that you can feed them and they poop. I remember all of those like when I was a kid. Uhm, like the, like the rubber monster hand puppet ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are still around. Boglins? Yeah, they're not called boglins though, they're just called something different now. And, uh, there's like a tie-in with a show or whatever. Man, fucking Paw Patrol is still going, which is like the most formulaic thing ever, right? Just toy-shifting. I mean, it always has been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the cool guy, you had the, you know, the, the, the teen dream girl. Slater. You had the nerdy girl or whatever. And there was all the stereotypes of the time, right? But now when you watch these shows, there's like the vlogger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you do, you, you do end up in situations, not specifically like this, but you, you become a bit irrational, right? I guess? Like, there's, you, you need something, right? And, and so you seek-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This specific scenario exists today because of the, of what's available to us, the things that we can watch, the forms that we can post on and stuff like that, but it was just something, it was just disguised differently 20 years ago, right? Like this, this all, there's nothing new really about like this kind of behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel really bad for that person, cause that's gotta suck, right? Like, just feeling like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe she just, well no, but I think some people it's a, it's a release, right? Just having a good cry. And I guess if you just, in a roundabout way, find the, find a way to, to, to do that cry, then maybe you would feel better, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I hope that you take all of our grunts and sample them into like the new Elder Scrolls music, you know, like that grunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his buns out, you know. Old Ugg had the biggest knockers in the village and all the men, you know, would do like heavy grunting any time she was around or whatever. You know, do you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about a, just like a set, a perfectly beautiful, big, round set of, uh, eyes? You know what I mean? Like, uh, that you can get lost in. Eyes schmize. You can't suck the pen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, but have you noticed though that you've noticed eyes a lot more since the lockdown and stuff with people wearing masks? You can't see the rest of their face, right? So all you can see is their eyes? Yeah, but that's why I think it's a trick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She might though, that's one big eye, like, it's gotta work in mysterious ways, I would've thought.

[Assistant] Oh my god, man, I wish I was, we're, we're due a loft conversion, it's like, it's all, it's all set to go, we just gotta get people in to actually do it now, but, man, we've got that whole, we have that whole adventure to go, go through soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was watching, uh, Grand Designs, the finalists last night on TV. I don't know if you've ever watched this show before, but it's about all these like, these fucking crazy houses that people end up building or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some of them are awesome and some of them like not so much or whatever, but this is like the finalist one, right? They're shortlisting like the best ones to win some award at the end of the year for 2021.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, some of the houses are just spectacular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was built in the 50s, looked like shit, everybody hated it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a house on the thing yesterday that had like an old medieval English like fort. It was in Cornwall or something or like somewhere, no it wasn't Cornwall sorry, it was up north somewhere because it was on the border of Scotland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but it was listed, it was like grade two listed, so they could not remove it, you know, it's like a historical site or whatever, but they just tacked a house onto it and then built


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, part of me just thinks like, just leave that stuff. If you, if you aren't gonna go to the trouble of listening it, just leave it. You know, like, make it, you know, get the, get the heritage foundation or whatever to like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, set up like a museum inside of it or some shit like that, but like, I don't know. I don't know how I feel about somebody just having a house like tacked onto it, you know? It doesn't really make a lot of sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, in North America, like especially where I- when I grew up, every house I lived in had a basement. It was like a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They dig it out, uhm, they sort of, you know, like it forms a foundation of the house, right? So it's like a concrete box underneath your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in the ground. And then uhm, and then they just build the house on top of that. But like, and there's like, just like a, a really sort of basic set of stairs down to it. But when you go down there, it is just a concrete box with a drain in the middle of the, of the floor, you know? It's like, it looks like a murder room or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes there's like a couple of steel beams that sort of hold up the rest of the house down there as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was great, but you know, it's extra work for sure. You know, like, I definitely had friends where their basements were not ever finished, you know, they were just used as storage or there was like a workshop down there or whatever, you know, like, and then the big fucking sink that I always talk about, the basement sink,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you guys remember me talking about it, but there's always like some big rubber basement sink in the, in these basements and it's like just a sink for,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can open a big door and just waft all that fuckin' putrid cigar smoke out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only a really thin layer of topsoil before you get into like the, the clay and rocks and stuff too, right? So a lot of it is just gonna be rubble, I think. I mean, I don't know anything about this, I'm just- No, we don't. I'm making some big assumptions, but I- We are. Probably sound like I know what I'm talking about, so I'm gonna carry on, um, just, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they could repurpose, like do like a, a song, uhm, you know, do you guys remember the Pokemon Christmas song? Who's that Pokemon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the Pokemon Christmas Bash, you know that one? No. But instead they could say, who's that Pokerstar at the Pokerstar Christmas Bash? And then they could like, you know, and then part of the song is like, it names the Pokemon, so it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yes, of course, yeah, and they could call the tournament PogChamps or something, like, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. They're set in their ways. They don't want to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, some stuff really still holds up, but other stuff not so much, it really depends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got a bit of cussing and also it's- it's tense, right? Like you're-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but in the 80s, homosexuality was not mainstream and not accepted, right? Like, it still had a ways to go, right? It was like, in the 90s it was getting a bit better, but it was still like, if you remember shows like Saturday Night Live, they would make jokes about it constantly, like really poor taste jokes about it and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but you gotta remember that the demographic for these movies at the time, 80s action movies, was probably, you know, people that fought in the Vietnam War and the Korean War and stuff. No, the market was all of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No it was, but it's, it was just such a different time, you know what I mean? Like, like, you look back on it now and I agree, it's like, what the hell? But, at the time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was either not as much thought put into it at all, or it was trying to appeal to the demographics of the time as well, right? Which would have been probably, uhm, middle-aged men realistically for an action movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also had like a massive, massive problems with alcoholism as well. Remember some of those awkward interviews where people tried to ask him about it and he's like, I didn't come here to talk about that actually, I'm here to talk about my movie and all this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's a lot in a lot of like, uh, the sort of popular movies of the 80s. It was, it was, there was definitely like undertones, and going into the 90s too, I remember for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, yeaah, I know, it's weird, isn't it? You don't remember these things though, because I think at the time, like I was saying, you don't take stock of them, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No it doesn't, of course it doesn't. You remember all the stuff he was saying about AIDS in the standup as well, like his dick was gonna fall off and it was on fire and everything, but that was sort of like common, common sort of jokes if you like at the time, right? Like it was, uh, it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're a lot more, a lot more careful, but I'm sure that there's gonna be further changes in society where you'll look back and you'll be like, I can't believe I used to say that. Like, I can't believe that we just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think with a lot of comedy, it's like, it's, it's, a lot of it is time and place, right? Like, and some of it ages so poorly, you know, like, you look back at- And tone! Yeah, for sure, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. And I think actually, I think Norm MacDonald was really good at that. I mean, I know not everybody likes, like Norm MacDonald's comedy or whatever, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to actually like lose your job on like, you know, Saturday Night Live or whatever because of some jokes that you made at an awards show or allegedly is pretty, was a pretty big deal back then, right? Like it just didn't always happen sort of thing. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also not, it's not fair to just sort of say, oh, it's, you know, I find it funny because like if people are actually getting offended by it and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I hate how Jerry Seinfeld analyzes comedy so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I get what he means, but like, yeaah, looking at it from that kind of perspective, like, of course it's not the hardest job in the world, like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so many aspects to it too, like when I was watching Seinfeld, I was a kid, you know, I was like in my early to mid teens when Seinfeld was sort of at its height, watching it every Thursday prime time when it was on TV and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As funny as I found it, there was a large part of it that was like, you had to watch it because that's how you fit in the next day at school and stuff too, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, no, it is for sure. I'm not, I'm not saying that it's not at all a great show, but there's, there's, there's multiple things going on there, right? Like, especially when something is like, is, is at its, at its peak, at its prime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's a lot of uhm, a lot of people will be watching it and not taking too much stock of it because they just want to remember like the, you know, the, the really memorable lines so that they could just, you know, the next day at school or at work or whatever be like, haha, and then when he said this and stuff, you know what I mean? Like it's, there's, there's all sorts of stuff that goes into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very much of its time, in a lot of cases too, you know, like. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know though, cause like, you know, uh, I'm gonna say Amy Winehouse's dress because I remember recently, uhm, Kurt Cobain's cardigan that he wore, his cardigan sweater that he wore on the unplugged set, you know, unplugged in New York or whatever, uhm, sold for like a hundred grand or something, like at auction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bought a soup maker, which I've uh, I've donated to charity now because we used it one time. It was messy as hell. Yeah, exactly. It's just like, we just went back to making pasta like three times a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went in one, one summer to clean it out and all the picnic blankets had just been shredded and used as bedding by mice and shit. Like it was- That's cute. They were having a great time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My daughter has like a couple of them. They're, it's one of those toys that is really appealing in its packaging. You go to the store and they're always like displayed really nicely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not, not overly, no. Like, no, she doesn't go mad in for it. She's more into like, she's really into My Little Ponies. Like, lots of My Little Ponies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so like anytime we're at the toy store now, my kids are like, you know, looking at the Playmobil, I'm like, oh yeah, let's get that one. And they're like, eh, they just want to get like other stuff. They don't really like Playmobil. I just love the idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know, but like, you know what I mean? Like, imagine the moment they- they became, like, alive, they didn't do what you expected them to, you know? You'd expect them to be like, hello mummy!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be something like, there was delays on the line because he was legally marrying his train or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, did I ever, I sniffed a couple, like, uh, the whole, uhm, planet is in bloom today, or at least, well, where I live, because, uh, well, the sun is out, there's no, like, hurricane winds, it's not raining and stuff, it's been really nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's eating chocolate, I mean, you gotta lift it, and uhm, you gotta go back to the box for more and lift it again. So it's like a, you know, very repetitive exercise, but it's good for you, you know? Like it gets you, it gets the juices going. It gets you, it gets you, your ticker ticking, and your juices flowing. And your toka toka.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a weird year and it's been a weird May as well, weather-wise, and it just feels good to finally sort of feel like things are going somewhat back to normal a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Exactly. That's it. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. I don't have a problem wasting my time, but as long as I'm up for wasting my time, you know what I mean? Like, if somebody else wastes my time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if somebody else wastes my time, look out. But if I'm wasting my own time, that's fine. Look out. What are you gonna do to him? Oh, be so passive aggressive. Man, that's just gonna be, it's gonna be brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the, what's the best, uhm, what's the best that the UK has, uh, has ever floated to Eurovision? We've won it. We've won it several times. Was it Bucks Fizz though? Did they win? I don't think they won it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I mean. I think England, or the UK, sorry, is stuck in this trench where uhm, they're trying to game it because they think they have this big, you know, music industry, they have like all this influence over music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, huge classic, uh, group, uh, with, uh, with numerous, like, number one singles, whatever. Uhm, and, uhm, and Eurovision was really the start for them, wasn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Lloyd Webber made a song for Eurovision, which didn't do very well. And there's been a couple of other ones. Didn't Simon Cowell at some point try to throw his lot in as well? Or, or, or he backed somebody and, and they were sure that they were going to do really well and they did terribly. You know, I'm sure, I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't, no. Ultimately it doesn't, but like, I don't know, I just feel a bit bad for Bill Bailey to like, do that and it potentially just completely bomb, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it wasn't a sure thing, like you, you, okay, you know you're, you're talented, you know you could probably write a pretty good song, but sometimes, especially Eurovision, it feels like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's external factors that are kind of stacked against you already anyway, even if your song was perfect and you, and, and amazing and you know, you'd still get no, no votes or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to just think like, is it fucking worth it? Like you were saying, like is it actually even fucking worth it? Like, you know, he could just go and do like a standup that would be even funnier and probably more well received than like just flopping on Eurovision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've also been enjoying the new series of this time with Alan Partridge, which feels like it wouldn't be funny because Alan Partridge is such a, such a sort of like old thing or whatever, but man, it's still so funny. Like it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say that there's at least a moment in every episode where I'm actually like laughing quite a bit. Like it's just the lead up and writing and everything is really, really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lynn is in it, and uh, but it's basically him working, you know, on the show, so like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have the, the actual show itself, which is pretty ridiculous. And then, you know, when they're, when they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they have like 60 minutes or 60 seconds in between segments or whatever, you know, like, and they, they get up and they go get a drink and so you get all like those bits and stuff as well. But it's just, it's the usual, like it is, it is cringe at parts or whatever, but man, it's, it's very funny. Like the Alan Partridge character is always like, uh, pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They sort of stumble along. Michael Scott's a bit more vulnerable though. Like Alan Partridge is like a fucking fortress of multi-layer defenses, right? Like, nothing gets to him because he's too much of a fucking asshole. He's too much cox and to suffer. Exactly, yeah. So there's like differences for sure, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always amazed at how well written it is, you know what I mean? Like just everything, like the dialogue is always very funny, it's very good, and just all of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The different bits, like, you know, like the recurring characters, like there's this one character that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's lots of little bits like that, but they're all really funny. They're not overdone, you know, like they come back when they need to sort of thing. And it's just, it's, it's just pretty good. Like I'm not saying it's the most amazing thing, but yeah, no, it's worth it for sure. Like Steve Coogan is genuinely pretty funny. So it's not a, it's not a bad show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's nothing worse though, that sounds pretty bad, but you have to still, the prize for worst use of music or song has to go to every remix of Ready or Not by the Fugees where it's got like, you know, it's got like the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's demog, it's all demographics man, like that's the thing, you know, we're not, uh, we're not the target demographic for a lot of this stuff, is what I'm coming to realize. He's not making a movie to be enjoyed by a 40 year old man, he's making a movie to be enjoyed by a 10 year old kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think violence and gore specifically isn't always enough to propel it over the 18 rating. It's subject matter, right? Like if you're dealing with like sensitive issues like abuse and stuff like that, then it might be like considered over 18.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But just, just violence, like action sequences and stuff like that, isn't enough on its own to make it overrated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not consistent anywhere, like more so in America, I think, because you'll have on TV, generally, a lot of violence. They'll have no problem showing police chasing a guy down in a car, shooting him with a gun and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then they have to blur nipples and sense your swearing. You know what I mean? It's like, okay, well, I mean, you might as well just go full hog at this point. Like if the guns are out and stuff, you might as well just be showing a couple of nips and, you know, you know, not bleeping the swearing or whatever. It doesn't make much sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they get back up again, and then you shoot them again, and then they go down, and then they're back up again, and yeaah, I know yeaah, I've played Warzone, it's frustrating as hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure that Kod necessarily should be an 18, uh, but at the same time, I wouldn't let my son play it for, uh, while he was young for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point of the game is to ruin other people's fun pretty much. A lot of shooters are, kind of. It's just, it's just insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, you know all those things that like your, your dad used to say to you that you just thought like, oh my dad doesn't know what he's talking about sort of thing. You know when he gave you like the, the talk about how like enjoy school because it's a lot better than working and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually had the exact same conversation with my son the other day. He's like, oh, I don't really want to go to school. And I was like, honestly, if I could go back and go to school, I would go because it's much better than working when you're an adult. Like you should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy, right? Like they say that youth is uh, is wasted on the young. And it's so true, right? Like cause I guess it's relative and it's context at the time or whatever. Like I didn't like going to school either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, looking back, I was like, aw man, I would, I would go to school. Like, it was so easy, holy crap. Like, it's, just compared to like having to be an adult, it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's insane, right? So I had to have the exact same conversations like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoy school while, while it's there because it goes really quick and then all of a sudden you're not going to school and you're going to work and work really sucks. And he's like, oh, okay. But like, you can tell he just does-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause there's just not really that much to do, right? I mean, I'm sure if you're a good career advisor, you're out there and you're, you know, you're earning your money or whatever, fair enough. But like the ones at school in my, uh, in my experience were, like you said, just terrible. Like it's just, it's stupid. It was a waste of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of weird that you end up going to university as, uh, as early as you do in life, right? Like when you're in your early 20s, like you're, you, you're changing a lot, right? Like think of how much you changed from 20 to 30, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like, and you're already sort of putting yourself like on a very strict trajectory for something that you think you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 20? That's crazy, right? It doesn't make any sense. Like, of course you're going to change your mind and flip-flop a couple of times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's gonna be ups and downs and stuff. That's life, right? Like it's, I guess, I guess the best you can do is just sort of get a degree in something to prove that you are capable of further education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, how did you, how is your, how is your pitch received? You should, you should listen to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone and welcome back to the Triforce Podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'm in Bristol, I'm about twenty minutes from the ocean. Uhm, it's still really an ocean though. It's really shit. It's cold, actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So P-Flax is slapping some cream on his head and going out into the wonderful weather, uh, how long have you been there? Have you just been there at the weekend?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I can tell that you've got a smile on your face, that the mood has just lifted, and that you're happier, and I'm getting some additional smile just from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they have an observatory on one of them? I can't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm obviously very familiar with Dune, I read the book when I was a kid, I've read it relatively recently, I like the universe, and the old film was just wacky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very, uhm, familiar sci-fi world, but still very cool, uhm, and great, great visuals, uhm, good mood, good movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think that, well, I mean, some of the flippin' weird films I've seen lately have been, oh my god, very high-concept and bad. Though in fact, I don't really want my movies to be like an artistic fucking wankathon. I'm quite happy with them being a rollercoaster. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, there are always people out in the desert who don't prepare themselves for properly, y'know. Especially in America. America seems so safe, right? Especially like California. But actually, y'know, if it's like 42 degrees there...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's so easy, though, to slip into that. I mean, the thing is, like, the world is pretty idiot-proofed. Um, and, you know, I've found this going to Japan and Sweden and places like this, like, I've turned up there and I can't figure out, I can't talk the language, I can't get a ticket, I haven't done anything prepared, and yet I still, there's always someone there who's like, do you need help? Are you an idiot? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have noticed that a couple times, once you've told them the first time that they're done, they don't want anymore, that's enough for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's weird that people do still ask me for directions, they usually ask me for directions with a phone in their hand, as well. And then that causes me to get my phone out, and then we're both like comparing our phones, so we're like, no, you're here, you're here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it, like, y'know, it's a stranger, y'know, you don't wanna tell them, this is hard-coded in, not to talk to strangers. Especially about, y'know, where you're going. Where's Bristol colonoscopy lab?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not. I suppose there is some reasons why they won't want to tell you. But, no, uh, hiking up Mount TD, apparently, I was aware of this, it's freezing cold up there, because it's actually, it drops to like five degrees, it's five degrees there at the moment, according to Google. Minus five degrees at the moment, according to Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on Mount TD. Light freezing rain, it says. Uhm, so wait, you might have to wear your jacket, people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did it, was it, like, cause sometimes they have, like, they get the military to build these roads for observatories out in the middle of nowhere. I seem to recall that was done in New Zealand or somewhere? Like, I dunno, like, so, yeah, they, they, I think it might have been part of the observatory funding to get these things, you know, cause they needed to get the materials up there and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it gives them like this kind of, it's like, cause all of the Canary Islands are basically a volcano. Yep. And so the road always runs in a ring around the coast, and that's where all the tourist stuff is, but then in the middle there's usually one road that cuts across the middle, but it goes up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So does that mean, if you like, dug out a big trench, okay, like a thousand meters deep, does it go up six degrees?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think she's a Nancy, actually. She's actually not Spider-One, maybe. She's maybe not Spider-One at all. Maybe that's a different guy. I did watch it, but it was a while ago. It's a weird one, eh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still liked American Gods for a while. It held my attention. I'm not a big fan, honestly, of it. I feel like some people... it feels to me a little bit...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well it's fine, um, I'm, actually I thought it was actually better than the book, um, which I didn't like at all. I'm not, I feel like I've...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Woolly, um, and don't seem to have any rules. They're all magicky, fancy, wanky, fanky fairies all floating about doing weird stuff in different dimensions, going through doors, into weird places, and there's a prince of the fairies in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got any more recommendations for things lately that you've enjoyed? Go for it. No, that's about it, honestly. I had some Japanese curry bread that was made by a friend of mine. It was basically just bread with curry sauce in it, and I was very impressed. I thought it was fine. I would give it a 7 out of 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, is this only really good stuff? Let me try to think.

[Assistant] I played a board game yesterday, which I liked, called Wavelength. It was quite a cool board game. I think it was called Wavelength. Yeah, so there's like this rotating dial, you can look it up, right, where you have to kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wavelet, where basically there's sort of like a dial, like a left and right dial, and you see it's like, it might be like a third of the way along the dial, right? Right. And then you get a clue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, it's got lots of these little clues about uhm, you know, is it more blue or more green, and you have to like pick something or like milk. We had this like half an hour argument about how curvy we all thought bananas were. It sounds like a very middle class thing, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah. Yeah, you're right. I didn't even think of a boomerang when I was thinking of curvy things. But I'd say a boomerang was pretty much in the middle of curvy and straight, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's quite hard to think about things that are curved. I mean, obviously we've spoken about 90s women here for, extensively, you know, and I might say Pamela Anderson, that would be, that would be quite far along the curve scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the problem is that you, well you're given an amount on a scale, and you have to find something that represents that amount of curviness. You know, it's often very, you have to be very precise. Like, what's four tenths curviness though? What's less curvy than a boomerang?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess it was culture though, y'know, people who sort of bought FHM, y'know, it's full of stuff like watch reviews, and y'know, things like that. I mean, it was all macho, sort of normal...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they're like that, they need to stand out. They're forced to break fashion from what is normally accepted and look weird in order to exaggerate themselves and their personality and their image, right? So yea, wearing a bright red suit or something is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well if this was a Neil Gaiman book, it would be probably the fairies, who were secreting them away, uh, but since it's reality, uh, it's probably your wife who's chucking them because she's noticing they've got like curry stains that she can't get out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if you're honest, she'd say, she'd give you a good reason for it, she's not just slowly binning all of your clothes for no reason, until you wake up one morning and there's just nothing left, just get your dressing gown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put on your hair and you can drink it and you can pour it up your butthole, you can just rub it everywhere, it's fine, it's like, okay, drown yourself in it, go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not. That's when it's, yeah, and then in the summer it's just what, it's just like a jar of liquid, and you're like, what can we use this for? And the answer is nothing. Ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I guess you only buy one, otherwise they'd sell it everywhere, wouldn't they, if everyone was chugging it down. I'm not even sure you're supposed to drink it, I think that's probably really bad for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if the death of the femme fatale Trump is because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember, I remember, I remember Buckaroo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, uh, like, like radar tower talk, like associated with it and stuff. And it's just like, I don't know, like, I guess like we're kind of like that with games in a way, but still not as serious, you know, like, but like these guys will just find this one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That their brain just loves so much. Man, it's hilarious, isn't it? It's so funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but what's it, like, uhm, breaking and entering, like, and picking a lock and stuff, that is all within the realms of being illegal, right? Like, or, or is it like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but like, this comes back to the superhero conversations, like, yeaah, he's invisible so that he can help people, but like, you know, sometimes in his darkest moments, he's like standing in your room watching you get changed, and you don't know it. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The news outlets must hate that, right? They must hate it when the invisible man falls down a well or whatever because all the shots of them hoisting him out must just look insane, right? Like they're hoisting out nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly think, whilst being one of the best possible superpowers, it has to be one of the most risky superpowers as well, right? Cause you could easily get yourself into some jams and nobody's gonna be able to help you. They can't fucking see you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'd be, I think it would be a blessing and a curse, you know? Like, I don't think, I think there would be times as the invisible man where I would be very, very scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I would eat, if they invented food, and I'm sure there is alternatives, but I'm too dumb to research them also, maybe too scared to take them, but if I could, I've said this before too, and I maintain this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I could eat, if I could take a pill and that would give me every, all the nutrients and everything from a full meal and fill me up and make me think that I've had a full meal, I would do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really, I don't like, I don't really like stopping to eat and I don't like preparing food either. Like I just, I just want it to be done with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I get that. I am, I just am that unique snowflake who just doesn't want that. It is, I know it's a weird one, but like, I don't know, I just feel like there's other things I would just rather do, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not so much that. Honestly, I think it's just having kids. It's a big production, you know, like, and it feels like a lot of hassle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah I know, I actually like jacking off and having sex and stuff, that's fine. You wanna keep doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a big, uh, family like Christmas dinner or whatever. I'll take those. Like, I like those. They're nice. Cause usually some- But they're much more-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay everybody, come for your meal pill and then everybody just takes it and then okay, it's bedtime. You know, like, done. I think it would just be much easier, you know, like, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There'd be more time for other activities like jacking off and other stuff, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cinema feels almost like it's become a throwaway experience. Like it's like you're annoyed while you're there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same way I like watching The Apprentice or whatever, you know, it's just like, it's like an event, it's an experience, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had like your, uh, Tom Cruise's, you had like, uh, Robert De Niro, you know, all these guys were kind of like- Well, Tom Cruise is still big. A-list, Hollywood, you know, you would, you would want to see interviews with them and- Mel Gibson, before, you know, everybody realized that Mel Gibson was Mel Gibson. Was insane. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't place this guy. When you guys say Robert Pattinson, for some reason I just think of, uh... Yeah, he's very generic. I can only imagine this, like, one specific, uh, I don't even think he works at the BBC anymore. He's the guy, oh, you're thinking of, uh, Robert Preston? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the guy that pops into my mind every time that you mention this name. I can't picture the real person.
