[Assistant] I mean, I did read an article, I did read an article, this guy's saying you should stop doing it, cause it drains your energy and all the rest of it. What, jacking off? Yeah, just, you should never do it, basically. I don't know about never doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from Corey. I'm sure you've seen the poll chart going around of which animals American and British men and women think they could fight to the death. Oh no! I have not seen this!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Question, sounds great, question, is there easy access to the system? Like is there a panel that you can lift away to get to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when he needs a poo, he takes all his lower clothes off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when he needs to pee, he takes all his lower half clothes off and squats on the floor in front of the toilet. And when the poo is about to come out, he quickly gets up and sits on the toilet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this is from, this is from Gavin Biglesger. Uh, one of your listeners wrote in about the Japanese prank Kancho. Remember the, uh, the fingers up the bum thousand years of death?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lived in a dorm in Japan with several 18 to 20 year old Japanese folk and there was a public bath where some of us would hang out to relax. One night me and a Japanese mate go in and we're just shooting the shit. I started pulling my trousers off, bending down, arse sticking out, and then I feel it. The thousand years of death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's great. Uhm, we, we, I've got a good one here about civil war reenactment, which is something we spoke about previously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from Scott, thank you Scott. When I was growing up, so his parents were into it when I was growing up, but I thought you guys might find this interesting. They never got into a group, although they dress up as civilians and go camping in an era appropriate tent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One reenactment that really stands out was recreating the burning of a bridge by the Union soldiers to stop the Confederates advancing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's more of a communal thing, like you can join in. Like if you look at, what is it, Sadler's Wells is like the theatre where they do dance shows and it's all like modern dance, interpretive dance, all that kind of stuff. To me, to me, a load of wank. But if you're into it, fair enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. F, Mrs. F really wanted us to do dance lessons. And I had to, I very rarely put my foot down and say I'm not. You had to veto. I had to. I had to use the rare veto. You can't veto too much already, it's a piss take. But occasionally we'll veto each other and she's like, no. And I'm like, she's like, veto. I was like, okay. And I, I did, I vetoed the dance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let's write in with examples of things that you vetoed. Any interesting threesome stories? Please, thank you to everyone that emailed in about Wisconsin, we're done with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if your email is like, that long, just think, uh, cause I'm worried some of you have wasted your time, that they're not gonna get rid of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just like on cue, like all three of them, just perfectly synchronized, just started puking at the same time. And they'd all been asleep for like an hour as well. And they just all woke up and started puking everywhere. Fuck me, it was unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right, my son made it to the bathroom, uh, cause he's that little bit older. My daughter just decided she was just going to puke in her bed. Uh, and then after she finished that, she puked over the side of her bed as well. So all over the floor and then the baby, God bless her, doesn't know what she's doing. She just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was hellish. Yeah, it was really, there's, there's, there's moments I'm sure you can, um, appreciate this flax. There's, there's probably moments in your, in your parent life where you can count on one hand the, the, the amount of times that you've just been so fucking fed up that you wanted to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just walk away, and I don't wanna do this. Oh, for me that was one of them. Cause like, with like, the initial puking, it was like, okay, you know, we had to really scramble around. I mean, at this point, like, we just sat down to like, watch TV, right? Like, we were like, oh fuck, finally the day is done, you know? Like, let's have some tea, we'll watch some TV or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then this starts, so we're just like, ah shit, you know, T's going to be cold, everything. And, uh, and the, like the initial sort of wave of puking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You kind of, uh, your adrenaline kicks in, you get through it, you're like, whatever, like, uh, you know, it's fine. We can handle it. It's the repeats, you know? Oh yeaah, they keep going. And they, they just kept coming back and it's like, uh, like stomachs, they take a little while to fully empty out, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to know, yeaah, you have to pass the threshold at some point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men, it's, it's unbelievable. So yeah, so we, I, I feel like, uh, I, I need to, to say, cause I know so many people who listen to this podcast are parents themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's really important. Please, the 48-hour rule, if your kid is at home barfing, do not send them back to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until 48 hours of no-barfing has passed, right? Like, you gotta clear up the bug. I'm sure that somebody just sent their kid to school. Oh, 100%. You know, not after the 48 hours. And, ugh, man, the worst. It was just the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I was like in some sort of like, uh, like a hostel or a hotel, but a lot of people I knew were there as well. Like a lot of like, uh, people I went to school with, like it was, I felt, felt like maybe it was like a school trip or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had a backpack full of supplies that I needed, uh, to stay like at this place or whatever. And in my dream, I'd been out drinking and I was quite drunk, which is kind of weird, right? To have a dream about being drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was quite drunk and I was coming back to this hotel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like I, I remembered roughly where my room was, but not entirely. And I accidentally went into a couple of other people's rooms and at some point I just started floating in the air, but like uncontrollably, like I couldn't, I couldn't land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the ground to walk around and all this stuff was like spilling out of my bag all over the floor everywhere I went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe my, my, uh, my body was just processing it. So all this stuff was spilling out all over the place and I was constantly waking people up because I was in their rooms. So I'd have to like explain to them, ah, shit, I'm so sorry. And they'd be asking me why I was floating and I couldn't explain to them why I was getting all stressed out. And then I woke up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was, oh, it was so satisfying because when I woke up, I was like, oh shit, it was just a dream. I don't have to clean up all that stuff. I don't, cause I like, in my dream, in my mind, I was like, okay, I got to make sure I get my toothbrush and my, like I had like this mental inventory of things that I dropped that I had to pick up, but it was like becoming just this huge task.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so when I woke up, I was like, oh shit, yeah, it was just a dream. I don't have to pick up all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The floating thing is a recurring thing for me though. Like I have dreams about this like, just this weird uncontrollable floating in the air. Like I can't, like at the time when it's happening, I'm like, man, people must think I'm so fucking cool that I can like get this much hang time floating in the air or whatever. But it's so weird. Like it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you guys, uh, when you guys went to school, did you guys have portables at your school? Like, uh, like at our school, we had, uh, like the main faculty building. I'm talking like, like primary elementary school. Right. We had the main faculty building, but then I think the neighborhood I lived in kind of grew too quick for the school. So there was a sudden influx of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're outdoors, they're just like little boxes, they almost look like shipping containers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember our secondary school had a few of them and they were nicer. The ones at the elementary school were old as shit and like cold and, I mean, you gotta remember as well, this is Ottawa, right? So it was like minus 30 for a couple of months of the year and you're out in these fucking portables just freezing your ass off. Anyway, the reason I mentioned it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for context for you guys as well is one time, uh, a guy in our class puked right in the class, like middle of class teachers in the middle of the lesson and this guy just chucks it everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it never smelled nice in there ever again. Like for years it still stunk of puke. Like even though they put, they put some solution down and some powder and everything to clean it all up and everything, it always just smelled like puke like for years and years and years after because like I had multiple classes like in the same


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to the same elementary school for like 8 years or whatever, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know those sleeping bags that they have like the straps over the arms? You like, you, you like, you, you button them in and it's like, uh, it's like almost like a onesie sleeping bag. Do you ever have those for your kids?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a, like a baby sleeping bag, but it has like, um, it looks like a pair of dungarees without like legs, you know? It's just like, it's all sleeping bag at the bottom, you zip it up. Anyway, she, she has those, she likes them, but it was just dripping in puke, like covered. Just, just a complete write off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda sucks so too, cause you, I don't know, like, you feel a bit self-conscious sometimes, don't you, at the end, where you're just like, all I've done is just gone on and on and on, and I don't even think this person has cared at all about what I've said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you find sometimes after you've, you've talked at somebody you've vented enough where you're just not even interested in what you're saying anymore? So like you get to the end and they were interested and they have questions, but you're done. You're just like, ah fuck, I don't want to answer these questions. I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm really done talking about this now. I'm leaving this interview. I'm out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the character limits and stuff as well. You're just getting into it. It's cut off. You gotta wait for a one slash two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought I was just figured it was English. It just had that, uh, you know, like even on the bag that, you know, that the countryside picture that it has like in the, in the branding and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just, it does look like it's something for old people. It's perfectly marketed, really, for those originals. It's slightly Mad Men. Not at all appealing to children, because the bag is like beige, and like the font colour for where there's this brown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, do you think that there was ever a time where, uh, drinking prune juice wasn't just for old people? Like, do you think when they first released prune juice it was like, oh yeah, shit yeah, it was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When should you not drink prune juice? Since the body doesn't naturally produce potassium, consuming prunes or prune juice can help you avoid deficiencies. On the other hand, if you follow a low potassium diet due to conditions such as chronic kidney disease,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prune juice is one of many at home remedies for constipation that can offer the desired laxative effect. Oooooh. Are any of you guys a little constipated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My daughter was just born, my middle daughter was just, just born then. Crazy. She's seven, seven now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where does time go? It goes so quick. It goes quicker as you get older too. It's insane. Just blasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My son is bored, but he's only bored because he thinks that he's gonna get to do what he actually wants to do. Appearing to be bored and waiting and also sort of like turning on the charm offensive as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's now, he's now sort of conditioned to, um, expecting to do what he likes to do or what he most wants to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if uhm, you know, like a couple of things have been done around the house, you know, like, uh, like the, like the big one being like tidying his room or tidying up the lounge because we have three small kids. So our lounge just looks like we've been swatted at any given time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like somebody's thrown a frag grenade in there all the time. Like it's insane, there's shit everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so usually like, you know, in the evening we say to him like, come on, go in, go and have a tidy up. And if you do that, then, you know, maybe you can watch some Doctor Who before bed or like play on your Switch or whatever. So, you know, now he, he does this stuff very willingly, you know, thinking he's gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gonna, gonna get to, you know, go on the iPad or whatever, but then during the day as well, sometimes you'll be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he's like, oh, what's going on? Oh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what you mean. It's a balancing act, all that, isn't it? I think when you're in your day to day, when you've got, uh, like a wife and kids and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you do get some time to yourself, you want to just game and just sort of shut off and enjoy that or whatever. But without that, if your wife and your kids are away for a couple of days, you don't always feel like you need that, right? You might be more up for doing other stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would be like, Oh, I'm going to wake up at seven o'clock in the morning and go for a jog and I'm going to have a coffee. And I would start living like a single man doing all these things, but it only lasts for like three days. And then when they got back, I'd be like, fuck, I can't do all my single man stuff anymore. I guess I'm just going to go back to playing video games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have that for breakfast. Wait, hang on a second. Roll this back a sec. You wake up and have a shower immediately? Yes. Like, every day? Immediately, yeah. Holy crap. Is that not a routine Fuji pad around? Some days I just cannot shower, actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had so many microchores mount up over the day that it's, it's one, one more chore. It's, it's one chore too many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, you have oatmeal for your breakfast? Yeaah. Would you like watch, do you watch TV while you eat it or listen to the radio or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is what you're describing here, your dinner, whatever's in your fridge, you're just cooking up stuff that's threatening to go out of date and you're, you're making, uh, like some Frankenstein dinners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that. I love the addiction though. I was so addicted to Hitman and I enjoyed it. And I didn't even really fully rage quit out of it. I think I just got to the point where it's like, I just need to take a break from playing this game. I've just, I've had so much fun playing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to leave it like in a, in a positive spot, you know? But it did come after I lost a mission, but I wasn't like too salty about it, but I was just like, you know what? Hitman has conquered it. It's just too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is. It's aimed at people with disposable, lots of disposable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are, they're quite sweet, they're quite American sweet. Sometimes those mid-snacks are the ones that get you big time, right? Like, I find if I open a pack of those, I'm like, I just wanna have a cookie or two. The whole pack is gone. Like, I can't, I just can't stop. They're very Moorish, I find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, uh, in a situation like that as well, sometimes you, you would, you would rush, you would cut corners and rush just to get it done. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna do a big reversal on you for your birthday this year. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna assemble a scrapbook and I'm gonna take pictures of all of the have a good ones that you've given lacklusterly to people throughout the years and the scrapbook will serve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that these people don't have kids. Cause they seem to have a lot of time on their hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuckin' scrapbooks and giving a shit about birthdays in the first place. My last birthday, uhm, one of my kids puked and I spent all day cleaning up puke. That was my last birthday. Back to puke again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First it was Wisconsin, then it was Luton, and now Wales. We're scaling up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you gotta take it down from the inside. It's not new, nothing new, this has been going on since the dawning


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, uh, they would, that they would get rid of the title. So there wouldn't be, so William wouldn't be the Prince of Wales. They would just say, you know what? We're done. We don't need a Prince of Wales anymore. And then, and then they made William the Prince of Wales and they're like, oh fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't want to be represented by an English monarch in that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't. I would not have a leak, uhm, if it was, if I was given the choice, I would never choose a leak. I would always choose something else first. I find that they don't have much taste. They look like shit and, uh, you know, like there's no aesthetic to them. You know, they just look like hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that England was like the, uh, the, the world capital of, of root vegetables. Onions gotta be a root vegetable, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carrots don't come from England! Oh my god, they grew tons of them though. In, uh, like post-war it was like, uh, it like saved the country. It was carrots everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, uh, which vegetables? Which vegetables?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cabbages, leeks, onions, garlic, basil, thyme, turnips, walnuts and grapes, apparently. Grapes! Very intolerant to half of those things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cabbage, cauliflower, parsnip, swede, turnip, onions, brussels sprouts, runner beans, broad beans, kale, to name a few. Their native, native British vegetables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a dogshit clickbait article. Asparagus is a strong contender for an English vegetable coming into season on St. George's Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what could be described as Britain's national vegetable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am crazy, yes, but also I'm sticking to it. I think, I think Britain is that kind of country that would, that would, uh, revere the, the onion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fizzy, fizzy maple syrup. There's all sorts, they really ca- they, they go for it. Everything is, you can get maple syrup, uhm, moist towelettes, you can get maple syrup, uhm, underpants, you can get maple syrup sleeping bags, like everything, they just, it's like a huge industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's from, uh, he's from Edmonton though, which is, is sketchy, honestly. Pretty Canadian! It's like right in the middle, right? Well, Alberta's kinda like the Texas of Canada, so that would make-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His EPM is quite high as well, I'll point that out. What is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's kinda, sometimes you get caught off guard, you know, you're not ready to, uh, to turn on the razzle dazzle. You know, you're just going about your day, doing normal things, you know, if any normal person asked you something or whatever, you'd just be like, no thanks, or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So dumb. I played the long dark, which I really enjoyed, but like I get that there's like a calorie intake in a day, but like, man, nobody on earth is taking in like 30,000 calories a day, which is basically what the game was trying to simulate. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I'd go fishing, I'd catch a whole fish and eat it, and then like an hour later, I'm like on the brink of death, like hungry again, like come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, especially like in a game like, uh, I don't know if you guys have had this, um, this experience with Rust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The light, that game's fantastic, but the lighting is dogshit. Like, it's so bad. Like, there's no, like, there should be, it should be a bit lighter indoors, but it's not. It's just pitch black everywhere and stuff. Like, there's no differentiation between, like, the lighting. Like, there's no moonlight, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well. So when you're outside, it is just like, you cannot see a damn thing unless you put a light on. Uh, and it drives me crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would settle for that over just like, so fucking dark that you can't see or do anything, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the, there's that and I, and another, another one I hate is, uhm, stupid, stupidly low limits on inventory. Like, especially a game that presents so much crap for you to pick up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all of a sudden you're like, okay, I need all this stuff and I might need all this stuff, but I'm, I'm always over encumbered. I like, I, you know what I mean? Like I'm holding like a couple of things that I think I'm going to need, but I can't basically pick up any other things. Like it's so limiting and it just feels like shit every time. Like, I don't know. I hate that mechanic and then nobody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if you're gonna have that in a game, uhm, something that you're like, oh yeaah, I need that or, you know, I need some of those or whatever. You need to have somewhere in the game for you to do that kind of stuff and it's not just like something that is done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the road or like mid combat or whatever, you know what I mean? You have to have like a base that you can go back to, take stuff back to, do some crafting or whatever, test out some of the shit that you made and then go back out sort of thing. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know if it's necessarily popular and I think a lot of people probably do think it's pretty boring and kind of useless as well. Like, I don't know, like, in a game like The Witcher where you just want to fight stuff and progress the story, I don't think you need to get bogged down in all that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just make it interesting, make it, and also just like consumables for the sake of consumables, like I think consumables could be more interesting if it was like, yeah, here, find these kind of hard to find plants or whatever, store them in your base so that you don't have an inventory full of crap that you never use or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when you get all of the right components, you can make a potion that just gives you a permanent buff, but not a huge buff, just something, you know, something to work towards, like something just like, as like a side liner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just like, oh yeah, it's not gonna, you know, I'll go explore this, this area. It's more of an open area with no story, whatever, but I can collect some items or whatever and maybe get a buff. So I'm ready for the next part of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of those shows where I feel like just the setting alone could kind of carry it through. Like, not, for me, like some shows, not an awful lot needs to happen. If I just like the setting that it takes place in and there's some, you know, there's some stuff that happens around that. I felt like that about, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Walking Dead for a while, you know, like, I mean, it was pretty good, like the first couple of seasons were really good and like action-packed or whatever, but I like the setting enough to sort of get through some of the slower bits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, nah, that's okay. Well, I'll, I'll check it out. I'll, I'll watch the silo and then I'll, what, what's Jury Duty on? It's, it's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] channel four, you don't even need to watch things live anymore because the fucking ads all the damn time. Like I know it's like every 15 minutes, but it feels like it's every three minutes. There's, there's ads, but if you watch it on four on demand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no ads. They, they, they just show like one quick like Coors ad or something every 15 minutes. It's like, it's way less, it's much more enjoyable. You can actually watch a show in a reasonable amount of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's great, but there's a push to go back to some of that now. Have you noticed now that uhm, you know, before like a show would come out and they would just give you all the episodes and people would binge through it, they're kind of drip feeding, they're going back to drip feeding it out on a weekly basis or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because people, uh, because people, like, just got really carried away with it. And they were like, you're talking to people and people are like, oh, fuck, I'm so depressed all the time. I don't have anything to look forward to and stuff because like something comes out and I just watched all 13 episodes in one sitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they, they, they just don't have like anything. I know it sounds like such a stupid thing. It's a TV show, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been really, like, succession, there's been a lot of, because the episodes are coming out once a week, it's good because you don't feel like, you can go and join that conversation at any point in the week after you've watched the one episode. You're not looking at like a mega thread of the entire season straight away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a reason in the first place, it's nice to just have that, you know, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well that's, that's the first of many things that will just be delayed now. So there's gonna be a big drought soon, like the longer it goes on as well, right? Everything's gonna push back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you guys been watching the, uh, have you guys been watching Ted Lasso?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the, uh, the, the, the, I think it's the third season? Final season? That's on right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's uh, it's getting better, like it kinda slow start, but you know that it's just working its way up to an arc where, you know, Richmond win, or do better somehow or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think series two will be probably okay, but I feel like so much was given away at the end of season one that I don't know what, how they're going to sort of introduce new, I mean I know that they can introduce new stuff around it or whatever, but like I feel like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you, you kind of know who's behind everything, what they're doing, the point of it and stuff, and like, a lot of that could have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, it's been out for a year, it's been out for a year. Fair enough, yeah, but no, I felt like, I felt like a lot was, and maybe, and maybe rightfully so, I feel, I feel like a lot, a lot was, like sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like another example for me at least was Westworld, where the first season I was so, I loved it. I thought, wow, this is so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy like, like, you know, like the, the figuring out like how it was all set up and there was like loads of mystery around it and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, by the end of season one, it was just like all this shit had happened and then you have a much better understanding of how everything works and stuff and you lose a lot of like the really interesting mystery stuff because you know going into season two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's gonna be more action from the start based on the stuff that's happened, right? And then I watched season two and I didn't even watch it right to the end. And then I haven't watched season three, which I understand is pretty good, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, for me like, and it's the same with Severance, it's like, it's the setting and the mystery behind it, you know, and you're trying to figure out like, why are these things happening, you know, what are they doing and stuff, and then you're coming up with all these theories because they give you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't really change the main story too much. To fill it, but a main story that is just like pretty concise, even if it's pretty simple, I don't mind if it's just like all in 18 episodes just to tell a good story. You know what I mean? I'd be so happy with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't need like a million like solo beard episodes, like, you know, or, or whatever, like, just, just give me a cool story, however long it needs to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the pacing was just another weird thing, wasn't it? Because the previous seasons, the earlier seasons especially, I thought the pacing was really nice, because the books are really long and sprawling as well, and I think if you read the books and you're going into the TV show, you're just like, this is great, this is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the final seasons, everything just fast forwarded like crazy. And I get it. Like if you're working on something for a long time, you want to move on, you want to finish it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was awesome. The first, the first season was so cool. I loved it. Um, and then the second season, not so much just because it was just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you felt like second season for Westworld for me, it just felt like you were like behind the scenes at Disney World or something. You were like in the catacombs, like in the first aid section or something. You know what I mean? Like it's just like the, the illusion is completely shattered and it's just, it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of what you thought it was. And then in some ways, not what you thought it was, but you just kind of want to go back to the first season where there was like so much kind of mystery around it and you were just figuring it out and stuff. I don't know. I know I keep coming back to the same thing, but I stand by it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When was the, uh, when was the last time you cried and what was it about? If it's not too personal. What did you, what was the last, okay no, actually let me change the question. When was the last time you watched a TV show or a movie or listened to music and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, certain things can really set me off as well, like, uh, I don't know, music, music especially, I can listen to music and it'll make me, it'll make me teary, like it's very emotional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta get spiced up before you're ready to open the floodgates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have, I don't, I don't talk to real people, uh, ever really in my life, except for trades people and, uh, my wife and my kids. That's fair enough. Occasionally teachers and other parents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you should see that as you were such a threat that you were gonna own so hard and he didn't wanna look like an idiot in front of his board game friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did the office stink when you guys were done? Like, did one of you guys go out and be like, oh shit, I forgot my keys, walk back in and you get that smell of stale people that have been in one room forever, did you get that? No, actually. I kinda hate and like that at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of last year, so uhm, you know, we've been suffering big time, but it's, it's all, it's, it's coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's coming home and uh, we're gonna be able to have guests around again so that they can use only the downstairs bathroom if they desperately need to use it. And I think that's a really good thing for me and my family as well. I think so. Sounds great. I know. I just thought I'd let you guys know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a lot of work being done on the house, and after that pipe burst, rendering the whole,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got to. You can't go to Florida. There's nothing else to do there, right? Like what the hell else are you going to do in Florida? I don't know. Oh man. Are you going to go to Universal Studios as well? It's like just down the road from... Oh, that's not a bad idea. We had planned it though. Maybe some different, different rides or whatever? That might be a good idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Land in Florida, rent a car, just start driving north as far as you can go. And then once you start to see the pine trees, boom, you know, it's ready. It's time for a portage. You're ready to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, I think honestly that's what it's gonna come to eventually. When my kids are a bit older and I can actually justify being away for like a week and we could do a portage, I think we should do it. We could just get GoPros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause we would have to, you would have to bathe in a lake every day and you literally would have to shit in a dugout hole. There's no, there's no facilities whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I can go to Wisconsin, cause I feel like if I landed at Wisconsin International Airport, uh, I would be mobbed immediately by angry Wisconsinites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. And also I don't know the land. I don't know what's- I don't know, like, the native species there, I don't know, like, I don't know the flora, I don't know the fauna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think if we're gonna portage, let's portage where I portaged the one time I portaged, cause I'm gonna be the expert on this one. Let's go to Ontario and hit up Algonquin National Park. It's got bears, it's got everything. But if we're on a little island, it'd be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he's ever done a portage of it. Nah, he's like, he's like a city slicker, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course he does, of course he does. He probably has like a pet polar bear and lives in igloo and that washes it all down with maple syrup as well. I'm, I'm a real Canadian. Uh, cause I've done one for Taj.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I had a question for Sips regarding Jersey. Yes? Uh, which places he considers worth visiting. I'm thinking of taking the ferry there from the UK, as I always wanted to take my car on a ferry. I'll completely understand if Sips has cocooned himself inside his garage and never ventures into the town. But Scott's looking for suggestions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're talking about stuff to do in the town, could you just give us three suggestions for something that you could do in the town, in Jersey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well apparently so. This is a list of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which is, can be called by a whole bunch of different names, it's a disease, based on the provoking antigen. Okay, this is a link to a Wikipedia article. Here are some of the types of hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Bird fanciers' lungs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also called Pigeon Breeder's Lung, or Pottery Worker's Lung. If you get avian proteins in your lungs from feathers and bird droppings, you can get HP, as we'll call it. This is called Cheese Washer's Lung, which is people who wash cheese


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I think you get too much of this stuff in your lungs and it causes hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which we'll read up more about in a sec. There's farmer's lung, detergent worker's disease, hot tub lung, which is just mist from hot tubs, gives you hot tub lung. Jeez. Woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Japanese summer house hypersensitivity pneumonoplobulopus, which is damp wood and damp mats. The, they give off stuff that you inhale. Japanese summer house. That's very specific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's, there's thatched roof disease, uhm, there's, uh, one called psicoiasis, which is from the, the, the sawdust and bark of a red watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, obviously this is the home of the tiny penis, so if you just wear it down to a nub, problem solved, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the red deer is the UK's largest land mammal, apparently. They can be up to 1.5m tall, weigh up to 120kg and run anywhere up to 40mph. Now hang on, I think that must be taking cows out of the equation because I'm pretty sure cows are bigger. I don't know if he means...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This animal is not behaving like it would if it saw you in the wild and it's not gonna run away. It's a fight to the death. It is a fight to the death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's against a bigger, stronger animal. You are doomed. No tools, no weapons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's the point. The way your shoulders and your hips and everything work in combination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, I think that the important thing to remember is that when, before we discovered and figured out things like spears and bows and arrows and stuff like that and how to hunt, we were scavengers who would pick over what was left over


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's taking a flight to Auckland, alright, it's a very long series of flights. He's got Brussels, 13 hours to Bangkok, 12 hour layover, 12 hour flight to Auckland. Hell of a fucking journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so he's, uh, he's ready to board his flight to Auckland, he's looking forward to getting some rest, and it's been 60 hours since he last slept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, obviously it was not to be, as you have no doubt guessed. Next thing I know, I'm in a middle seat, where I was in an aisle seat before, and I'm looking out the window at City Lights. And I asked the lady next to him, the different lady, if we've already made it to Auckland, and gosh, that was a quick flight. And she informed him that they were back in Bangkok.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how about this, weird thing, uh, you still have to go through passport control even when you're on a gurney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I've ever been on a plane that had to turn around and go back. I have had a missed landing where they had to do a go around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I've had, uhm, flights where we had to turn back from the airport because of bad weather, land somewhere else, wait the weather out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then re-approach, but I've never had a, we're halfway there, we're turning around and going back. I've not had that. Uh, I think that would be the worst. Cause you're like, okay, almost there. And then they're like, uh, folks, we're going to have to turn this bird around. Turns out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's well aware of how you date an episode, you don't say episode 253, you say the release date. Very good Billy, I'd like that format to become a thing. When people say, you were saying back in episode 118, tell us the date, because that way we can try and centre in our heads what the fuck we were thinking, otherwise we got no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, Billy is a dialogue editor and works in TV post-production for the last eight to nine years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of this time as a junior editor, machine room operator, but during the 189 years has mostly worked on TV dramas, factual documentaries, and occasionally films. Most go to BBC ITV Channel 4, or Netflix, Amazon, and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are the turnarounds of these shows. You won't see Billy on the credits for a lot of these shows due to TV credits only lasting 30 seconds. It's very dog-eat-dog when it comes to crediting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, each season can be different, so I'm only giving you the average turnover time from vague start of filming to on-screen release, and you can speculate about why this is. So uhm, the £5 billion Super Sewer TV show, which I believe you watched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I know one of the other things is, and I mean, when I worked very briefly in television, one of the things the directors always had to do was when they're out filming, they try to film. The reason that they film so fucking much,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're trying to make a documentary, or something like 24 Hours in Police custody, where you genuinely don't know where the story's gonna go from start to finish, you're filming the investigation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get all the shots, and then the editing is about how do they tighten this scene up? Or how do they make it look best? Which tape do they use? Uh, and maybe then some reshoots if they say, you know, we need to reshoot this. But it's certainly a lot more structured than a reality TV show. I think The Apprentice,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is more structured in a way because they know what they're gonna get. They set it all up ahead of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's because doing so would most likely produce a whole load of shrapnel all headed in the same direction of the original asteroid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be like the difference between being shot with a buckshot instead of a slug, if it's a direct hit, you're probably still dead either way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question is, if blowing up the asteroid is a bad idea, uh, what would we actually do? And do you remember this thing called the NASA Dart spacecraft?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they tied it in an asteroid, didn't they? And they wanted to see, could we change its orbit around its parent body? So they hit this thing, it's a dimorphous, it's called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they struck it with something, it's orbiting another asteroid. They want it to change its orbit by 73 seconds or more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change its trajectory, because if you imagine it's like millions of miles, if you change it by 0.01%, it's going to miss you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's like the difference between, it's like trying to throw a baseball at something on the other side of the country, do you know what I mean? Yes. So you have to be absolutely 100% accurate. If you're off by a tiny fraction of a degree, you're going to be like millions of miles wide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this is, uh, this is from a former coal miner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, uh, greasings. What do you think a greasing is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sadly not. Anytime someone succeeds in their job, changes crews, gets promoted, they get a greasing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and they get stripped naked, uh, and covered in cylinder grease from head to toe. They'll shove it in your arse crack, they'll put it all over your balls, and then they have to- Who is doing this? The coal miners. Right. They're rowdy lads, they love a greasy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could believe that, Jenna. I have seen a flash mob. Uhm, it was at an underground station. I wanna say it was, it might have been King's Cross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there are flash mobs, which was a big thing, I wanna say at the start of the millennium, there seemed to be a lot more of them, it was kind of a big thing, because you could now organize this stuff online, you know, and you could just say, hey, we're gonna do a flash mob, here's a plan, meet here at this time, and you'll be part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if it's people doing it organically and it's just for fun, I mean, I wouldn't do it, but fair play. It's, you know, live ends up a day. I'm sure people enjoy it. If you're doing it because you're a company, uh, and you think this is going to win people over, go fuck yourselves. If you're employed to do it and it's the best gig you could get, good luck to you. So in essence, the smaller


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The flash mob sort of is, if it's just a group of people and they're doing it for fun, uh, you know, fair enough. If you're a corporation organizing it, you can fuck off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a cracker of an email here. Uh, this is from Ross and Rosie. Uh, Rosie is the chef apparently. Uh, my partner and I do an annual dinner date where we each make three themed menus for the other to choose from. Uh, this year my partner made me


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Sips's menu. Starter. Poutine with perfect fries and gravy. Now stop right there. That is not poutine. That's veg- that's vegan pr- proutine. That is not a true poutine. I just wanna say that. I'm sure it's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your dessert is matcha, whatever that is, and lime pie with macerated strawberries. Macerated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does. I deal with a lot of tradesmen recently, and I get thumbs up a lot. Uhm, as like an acknowledgement, y'know? Yeah, yeah. Yes, Friday's fine, and then they just give you a thumbs up to say, yes, I'll be there on Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like, it's part of the whole thing, right? Like, I can't remember what the term is for it, but uhm... There's a term for it, but it's a whole... It helps them to get their point across and stuff better, y'know? Like, with the hand gestures and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about uhm, there's the face where he's smiling and he's got like a sweat, one sweat drop. That's what it is, yeah. That's the one that you like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a good one. I feel like that sort of, um, that carries like a tone of humility with it, y'know? I think that's why people tend to like it so much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gritting face with sweat emoji.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they had, they had ones from people that have, uh, subsequently become cancelled as well, right? And you no longer see them. Or died. Or died. Well, I think the ones where people died are still being used, but, um, but I think it was PogChamp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Epcot stands for something like experimental prototype community of tomorrow or something like that. So it's like celebrating the world, but then it's got like future stuff as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if in the States you have these housing associations because there's no bylaws, but in Canada you got bylaws that kind of protect you from a lot of that stuff. And they're, they're so specific, like, uh, to the point where it's like, you can't have a tree, uh, past a certain


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, uhm, you know, like all these things, and if you, if you break the rules, that, you know, a bylaw officer can come by and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Issue you with a you know a fine or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't know how old he was, and so he's gone to a foreign country and decided to do graffiti while he's there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever since. I don't think, uh, I don't think that warrants jail time, honestly. I think, uh, I think people calling for somebody to go to jail for that just, uhm, are insane as well. I don't think they realize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Captain Tom's family, uh, can go to jail. They could do like, uh, maybe they could make a show. Captain Tom's family go to jail for a month or whatever. And then they could change their idea of how jail is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a, it's like a better YMCA, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turned on. My boys turned on, that's right. Yeah, you can't turn off cause you're so on at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird, anytime I think about stuff like that, like going to a spa, having a massage or whatever, I always think that somebody is, uh, is, is gonna have sex with me, you know? Like, I don't know why that's my go-to with those things. My perception of it is all wrong, you know? I know people-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you consider that maybe they're just bored and they don't have any work to do and they want a new customer? Maybe they would just fuck him with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird though, uh, it's weird where we get these ideas about things though, right? I don't know if maybe it's just from watching like too much P.O.R.N. or what, I don't know what the deal is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, or, or it could just come from, um, you know, like popular culture as well, right? Like I'm sure there was a Seinfeld episode where George didn't want to get a massage from a guy because he thought, you know, he would get a bone or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, well it used to be in the 90s for some reason that was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys might form such a fun friendship and bond over sharing. I styled it out. It's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fine. Mostly what happens on an awkward first date. And is there a second date? First date? Forthcoming, would you say? Or no contact since?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she's, she's willing to give it a go. That's what it sounds like to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, my idea is, you take her for a day out to London, right, and while you're in London, you say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, gosh, it's been a long time since I've seen Buckingham Palace. Let's go have a look. And she'll be like, Oh God, that sounds really boring. Maybe this guy is actually really boring. He wants to go to Buckingham Palace, right? So you get there, make sure you order like some nice hot drinks to enjoy while you're standing outside. And then when you're just like, when it's getting really boring, you know, maybe


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, really show her what you're made of, you know? I think she'll appreciate that. If she's up, if she's truly up for anything, I think she'll, you know, I think that'll be a real eye-opener for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will have been married for 20 years this summer, and uh, let me tell you, some of these tips are priceless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like men probably have some funny date stories, but they're few and far between, right? Because most of them are probably just kinda like, uh, she wasn't interested, uh, she wasn't interested. But men are so insane that women, women tend to have more interesting stories to listen to around dating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's overall, I think it represents a much better value, with dots, but I don't know if the email will get through, either. No. So, but give it a go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought I'd heard it all and I heard that and I was like, well, I guess I just hadn't heard it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you do a bit of graffiti for you and your girlfriend on the coliseum, fast forward in time three weeks, and you're being spooned out by ten dudes in a cell. Come on. The two don't add up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was watching a TV show. If you live a life of crime or whatever and some dudes are spooning you out because you carry on your life of crime inside. Yeah, the spooning out is if you have drugs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, I think it's, I always feel like with that stuff, yeah, you can't, maybe the monetization side of it and the copyright side of it's annoying, but at least you, at least you have that exposure, you know, like you can always turn around and say, yeah, that's my, that's, I made that song. I wrote all the lyrics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because a lot of what we take for granted for every day, uhm, and the systems that are in place to support those things,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you guys, I know Flax, you haven't played much Diablo 4. Lewis, you've played a little bit of Diablo 4. Uhm, I've, I've experienced, uh, kind of the same thing as you as well with, uh, reading, reading about Diablo 4 and people's complaints about it and then on the other side of that people's praise for it or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know where I stand on either side, like I think I agree with both sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is genuinely a lot of like, uh, dad hate in the Diablo community because I think people want this, you know, they're very specific about the things that they want changed about the game, which is fine, and then for every time that happens,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll just have like some dad who gets to play for like two hours a week chiming in saying, I'm having a great time. I enjoy this. And then everybody gets really pissed off about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, because they can't swap builds easily or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, thanks so much, um, as, as usual for listening to our, our podcast. Thank you so, so much. Thank you so much. Ramblings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean, I start all the time? I'm like the main starter. You're not. Yea I am. Alright fine, we'll prove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I saw, I saw that. You, have you been, uh, reading slash r slash stupid food as well? I have. Yeah, me too. It is really dumb, isn't it? It's super dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flax, uhm, I know this, this is a subject dear to your heart and, uh, I don't know an awful lot about it, but I did hear that there was like a congressional hearing about, uh, like that UFO whistleblower or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought he was like an official, you know, he worked for the government in a lab and he was coming clean.

[Assistant] But I did go see the Super Mario Brothers movie. Any good? For the second time. Well it was on uh, I don't know if you got this flex, but they do like this thing called Movies for Juniors. So like, they'll bring back older movies. And it's like really discounted for kids. So it's, you know, it's like a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a scheme to entice children to the cinema to get them, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and they get the cinema experience, and it is much, much cheaper as well, because the idea is that you're taking small kids who have no attention span, and if they get pissed off ten minutes in, it's only cost you two pounds to go, you know? So you can just be like, alright, whatever, let's go. You don't want to stay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, I find it, it's, it's, it's pretty chill because uhm, like you said, everybody's in the same boat. Right. It's, it's cheap to go, so people are not like, oh, I can't have my experience ruined or whatever. And, and the kids are just, they range from about three years old up to like say 11 or 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So some of them are just sitting there watching the movie and then some of them are just running up and down the hallways or, you know, laughing or screaming or whatever. And it's just kind of like, it's a different atmosphere, but it's not a terrible atmosphere either. It's actually pretty fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the movie, the movie theater was packed and I've been to a couple of movies over the years, like maybe say the last four or five years and we're like the only people sitting in there. You know, like if you're going on a not cheap night or whatever, nobody's there. But with this, it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ram pad, like, there was not a spare seat. I haven't seen a movie theatre like that since probably I was a teenager. I mean, to be fair. I went to see Terminator 2 on opening night and it was like people were standing in the aisle, there was no seats left, sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I long for the days where you did not have to book a seat number at the-at the movie theater. You could just buy-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does not! In my experience, every time we book seat numbers, there's always somebody sitting in our spot. And then we're like, oh well, whatever, we'll just sit next to you, because we're assuming that you just got a couple of seats off or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People who are so fucking anal about the seat numbers that they've chosen, and having to have them. Except the first people. So by the time they- And everyone else after them is too polite to ask this move. So you'll have a big group of like six people will come in, just as the movie's starting, everybody's sitting down and they're like, oh, you're in our seats. And then fucking 30 people all have to shuffle around and find the right seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, for me, this is all relatively new. Like I've always, it's always been a free for all in North America, like, or in Canada. I don't know. Maybe it was just a part of Canada I was from or whatever, but it was never assigned seating. It was, you bought tickets and you went in and you hoped that there were seats together or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys still think that the truth is out there though? No. Right, okay. You've given up on the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in that context, Musk versus Zuckerberg, yes, somehow Zuckerberg has come up looking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, poor Bill. But he does look like he stinks of cum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta say though, for this, this, this has really surprised me because I would never in a million years have thought that that would be a trend and it just makes you think what could possibly be next and it, it's probably gonna be a thousand times more stupid than this, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even, I can't even fathom how, what the next thing could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, you know, like if you were to look at my history of what I've been watching on YouTube, even just in the past month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sure it's the same for most months. I'd say that probably 90% of what I watch on YouTube, if I'm just, if I have time to kill and I'm just browsing around, is old concert footage captured on VHS in like the 80s and 90s. That's it, of bands that I like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I just watch old VHS recordings of bands before they were big. You know, like they're playing to like a hundred people or whatever and they're playing the same songs and stuff and it's interesting enough, but that's all I watch. I don't watch anything else. I don't know. Does that, am I fucking stupid and old or what? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe that'll be the next thing, yeah, maybe you'll get, uh, Professor Brian Cox, who's gonna go all NPC on TikTok.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nothing at all. They're just- It's pretty remote. They are just fucking huge nerds. Like, they won, but they are fucking nerds as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think the, uh, like the, the, where, where do you think the, the sort of, um, like counter to the mainstream of all this lies, you know, like music, music has had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the, some of the content like that we just talked about seems so, um, contrary to, to anything that I would, I would almost place that in it, but it's almost giving it like, uh, I dunno, some sort of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're trying to, uh, they're trying to knock us, uh, knock our mental states off, you know, like they're, they're, they're, they're, they're working from the inside. They're, they're trying to, trying to be like, uh, like a rod in the, in the gears, you know? No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck, I'd imagine that, uh, there was a lot of, uh, similar sentiment, uh, for the generation that fought the great wars as well. You're in the middle of World War II, for example. I bet you a lot of people just thought, fuck, we are doomed. Like, there is no coming back from any of this. This is a mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, I think even like on Twitch for example, like we-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all use Twitch, we're on Twitch or whatever. There's gotta be some streamers, there's probably a ton of streamers if you think about it, who don't chase trends, aren't in it for, necessarily for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, like who, who can you think of as an example that does this kind of stuff that you could clump them together into like almost like a, like some sort of scene or, or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm trying to equate it too much to the music industry, which is different because like you said, we're using a huge platform that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Tons of people are using, whereas like in an industry like that, there was a chance at various points and still is, I'm assuming, for artists to go independent, right? Or even start up independent labels, indie labels or whatever, but I don't know if, I don't know if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we do can do that, you know what I mean? Like you're still, you're still having to feed through this huge platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they've become the distribution point for... Right!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god, I'm going to write some fan fiction. This is going to be fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the experience is so intense that you, you will develop a mild form of amnesia throughout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, uh, what is happening? What is the payoff for this, writing this stuff? Like, is it like a jacking off thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, like, what's, uh, what, what is, what, what is involved? Like you're, you're writing because you, you like writing, but you're also pretty horny while you're writing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, whatever, but the point at which that would concern me is if in the document that you're reading, uh, it had like my address and my phone number and like pictures of my house and the road I live on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me personally, like the fiction side of it does not bother me. Like if somebody's being weird towards me, which I gotta say has never happened, you know, if somebody's like stalking me or something off the back of it, then yeah, that is fucking mega concerning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but just somebody, somebody who's just, you know, writing, writing something like a fanfic or just having a laugh or whatever, like whatever, like, you know what I mean? There's, there's a good chance I'll never come across it. And then if I did, I would just, you know, I would just have a, have a laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whatever, it's just, it's just a bit of fun. I don't, I don't mind at all, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like with everything, there's a line, right? There's a line where it borders into, you know, creepiness or inappropriate or whatever, but I think if just the fiction is on its own in isolation, I have no problem with that at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally don't, but I'm happy if people enjoy doing that and have fun doing it and are safe and all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, it is, it is jokes, like, and they become like inside jokes, but they're not like, what you describe to me is people seriously dressing up and playing a role and, and, you know, it's like, it's more serious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a weird and wild and wacky world, and it's what you make of it, and Bill Gates smells like cum, so. So good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've had, you know what, Lewis, I've actually had a couple of bits and pieces from you over the years on my actual birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, uh, you like, you sent me, um, you sent me like a fallout, um, thing one time and, uh, another time you sent me like some, a bunch of like sweets and chocolates that my kids all ate and stuff. Like you, you, you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great way to spend your birthday, honestly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could almost convince yourself that the whole game is about like the love triangle that's formed between your three best snipers who are all on different teams and stuff like that and forget all about the aliens that need to be purged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, well listen, uhm, I got some good news, or maybe it's some bad news, I don't know how you guys are gonna take this, but Season 10 of Married at First Sight Australia has started airing on E4 and I've been watching it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna go into it, I'm just making you aware of where I'm at. I'm in a fairly decent spot at the moment. Okay, listen to this. I'm binging on two games that I'm both enjoying very much. One in my spare time and one on stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'm watching, uh, Married at First Sight Australia. When, uh, on Gaps, when that's not on, of an evening, I got some Ted Lasso to catch up on. Uhm, and, uh, if I don't have any Ted Lasso to catch up on, I'm gonna start watching Race Across the World, the, uh, you know, the one that's on, uhm, I think it's like BBC One or Two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one, uh, it takes place in Canada, so it'll be, it'll be really interesting to watch. So I got some of that to catch up on as well. And, uh, and then the new season of Succession just, uh, the, the new and final season of Succession just started airing as well. So I have that to catch up on too. So I'm kinda sorted for like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple of months at least, I think, like, uh, in terms of, you know, having, having everything, uh, arrayed in my, my, my favor, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mind, my wife watches, my wife used to watch a lot of The Soaps, uhm, but now that we have so many kids, she barely even watches EastEnders, but she still tries to keep up with EastEnders, she still watches it. If it's on, I watch it, I don't mind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there's been thousands, thousands and thousands and thousands. Give me a number. I mean, it's been running since the 80s. 1985. And it's been aired three, four times a week, sometimes even more depending on what's happening. I mean, I'm not a mathematician.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many times do you think the sentence, get out of my pub has been uttered in those 6000-ish episodes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's back, eh? She's been back for a good long while now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was in it. I think the height of her notoriety, maybe is now, I don't know, with the stuff going on now. But, uh, she killed Barry, you remember that? Remember she pushed Barry down a hill or a cliff? No I don't. She married Barry Butcher and then pushed him off a cliff. Good God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not always, but there's definitely a thing, and I know people have mentioned this, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a bit about reality shows, but the longer they're around, the more susceptible they are to being gamed by people, right? Because people have seen, have watched them, they know the format, and then they think up these ways of, you know, becoming these dramatic elements to them or inserting themselves into drama or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like with a lot of reality shows, and I don't actually watch that many, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like getting in on the ground floor with them is the best time, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First hand full of seasons are probably the better ones because the, the, the people that are on them are, are, are just, you know, they're really fresh. They don't really know what to expect. They don't know what to do or whatever. But then when the, when you, when you get to like season 10 or whatever of a series, people know exactly how it's going to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't really change the format that much, you know what I mean? Like, there's more of a, I'm gaming the game element to some of the people that appear on the show, which is less interesting to watch for sure. Because, especially nowadays, people are very aware of their Instagram fame and all this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is yeah, but I feel like if I, if I was running a reality show, I would have, I would have sleepless nights. I would have so much anxiety because you're, you're always so close to potentially having to call the cops on some of these shows because some of the people that are on them are really,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, I don't know, I would hate to do that. Like, it would just be, it would be too much, it would be too nerve wracking for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Okay. Is this like that guy, the uh, was it Andrew Tate? Is this like his jail poem? Haha, no!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I don't really pay too much attention, but I did notice that they're a bunch of big tech people are now calling for there to be like a halt in development because they're worried that the AI is going to be too, too, too out of control or something. Is that, is that something worth worrying about or not really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It captures the essence of the podcast, but there are things that I don't think the AI would ever be able to do, such as talking over someone else when they're in the middle of talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello and welcome to the Triforce Pods podcast. I'm Sips and I'm joined as always by my co-host Lewis Imperius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great idea, I've had some pretty terrible jobs in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, it's hard to pick just one. I think the worst is probably when I worked at a fast food restaurant. It was so busy and stressful all the time and I got paid next to nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, being a barista is a great job. I've always enjoyed making coffee too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's easy. I love a good bacon and egg sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think elements of the humor are missing from these as well. Cause there are some humorous bits, right? Like for example, you wouldn't really, you wouldn't have like a good spot for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, period doing like an accent or an impression or something, right? Like in any of this, where that's something that you would just do on the fly whenever, right? Like we would say something and then you might do like a silly accent or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the idea for this has been around for a long time though, because a lot of these AI generated clips just remind me of those uh, the next generation edits. Remember the TNG edits?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting, it's realistic, but the thing, the amazing thing about this is that the whole thing is AI generated, right? Like the whole trial and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, she, but even worse than that, she didn't actually die on the slope. She, she had that, a massive collision with, I think it was a tree, got up and was like, yeah, I'm fine. And then two days later just dropped dead. Fucking hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it wasn't even in that one. It was, uh, it was that one that played Bond one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roger Daltrey. Roger Daltrey, yea. No wait, is it Roger Daltrey? It might be actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roger Daltrey is, uh, hang on, ro- Roger Daltrey is the guy from, uh, The Who.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the art of the deal for me, and uh, when I find a deal, and uh, I know I have a coupon for it, I'm relieved that I do not have to exercise the art of the deal because the deal's already been made for me. The best deals are already on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been big movements around American football in the past couple of years, a lot more awareness around the sort of head trauma, the wear and tear on the body, but also the mental health implications of having your head repeatedly hissed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why big tech wanna, they wanna slow things down for six months. Is that gonna help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if somebody does get up there though, it can talk to them over the intercom while it's in the facility and refer to them by name and stuff too, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just going to get big if you just make robots to make you money though, right? Or, or programs. So you could just, you could just stick with that one. You could just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There just doesn't seem to be any decent regulations on basic stuff though, is the problem. You know what I mean? Like, if it was a case that like, you had a house and you had food on the table and you had electricity and running water,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you couldn't really afford to buy an 80 inch TV. It wouldn't be so bad, right? Because you just think like, well, at least the basics are met or whatever. But there's no regulation on even the basics. So now people are faced with, I'm probably never going to own a house. I can barely afford to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People still would only do things for money though. You would have a whole bunch of people becoming professional yard rakers and lawn mowers and all this stuff. People would always find ways to get more money. Like if everyone was on a universal basic income and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I, I was watching a video of the, uh, of the, of the protests in, uh, in Paris and they, uhm, they started taking full garbage trucks to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, yeah, but like, you think, you can pretty much just call yourself one if you wanted to, right? You gotta have that blank stare behind your eyes. There's nothing really like, there's like accreditation or whatever, but it's all like, it's not, it's not, it's not serious, like, stuff, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In case you're wondering, it was an entire garbage truck filled to the brim as well. It wouldn't normally be here, uh, it would only just be little scripts and scraps, not a big heaving, stinking mound like it is right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everyone and welcome back to the Triforce Podcast. Oh man, welcome back. It's been a while, jeez. So the first thing I wanted to talk about was Starfield came out today. Oh yes. Well yesterday officially. You've been playing it for a week since already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have enjoyed it, but uhm- Well it's the other way, isn't it? Like, not everyone, there's some crazy lunatics who've been complaining that it's too woke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yeah, and all the... it's got pronouns, and it's got, you know... Yeah, yeah, sorry, I did see that, yeah. I saw some of that. Oh, it's insane, actually, people can be so mad about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm playing, I'm playing Starfield. I'm fascinated. You know, I've not picked it up yet, I'm like, it's gonna be on Game Pass. So I'm like, why would I buy it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's twenty years later than these original, y'know, I was playing Morrowind and Oblivion when I was, y'know, in university, and these were...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a very, it was a very immersive, interesting experience, and it's so similar to this experience now, like we've got, like it feels like gaming hasn't really changed, like the formula is still the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what we had with Cyberpunk before that came out, and Starfield just two weeks ago. People had no one who played Starfield, y'know, not even review copies that had really gone out until two weeks ago. And, y'know, it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But everyone was hyped out, no one really knew what to expect, it was so much hype, so much like, this is gonna be the greatest game ever, blah blah blah. And I was like, look, we've been here before, you know, we all know that it's gonna be a game that runs on a PS5, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, part of the problem is that when you have a procedural generation that's generated by basically a pattern generator, humans are very good at recognising patterns and everything seems immediately very boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think it tends to be sidequest stuff or additional content. I think with Baldur's Gate...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently like 500 people completed it in the first two days, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not, but it's like, it's tapped into something about us, you know, it gives you this sense of achievement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beyond the sort of arbitrary story, you know, that's been forced down our throat kind of thing, you know, that you have to follow along with and you can't modify and you can't change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't tell you if the other ones are good or bad. There's apparently like four or five main followers and then like some additional ones. But in Baldur's Gate you can customise their class, you know, so they can fit in your party. You can really pick the kind of people that you wanna play with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's this vampire follower, right, who, very early in the game, you get him like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Immediately, and within the first couple of hours, you wake up with him like leaning over you, sort of going to suck your blood, right? And you can, you have so many options, you know, you can literally stake him right there, and then he's dead forever, or you can like let him suck on you for a bit, and you can actually let him suck on you so long that you actually die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it is, which is good, honestly. And also like, I like, I like the idea of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not playing at 100% completion, like being like, I'm just gonna go and do this bit now and then this bit now and then I'm gonna go to Act 2. I'm not gonna do everything because maybe the second time I play it, I'll go back and do the things I missed or I'll go to other places and it'll be more refreshing. Cause, cause otherwise you feel like you have to completely explore everything on the map before you move on to the next zone, you know what I mean? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because of its- because of the nature- because I know I'm already missing time and voices and story with companions that I've killed or have forgotten or ignored or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game is the same engine, it's the same fucking everything basically, but yeah, Baldur's Gate's more polished and stuff, and I didn't really like Baldur's Gate when it was on the Nexus a couple of years ago, and I didn't rate it at all, and it sort of exploded relatively recently, and I think that's maybe why it got sort of, it sideswiped everyone a little bit, because it's hugely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of the companions are what are called player sexual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was fine. So I've been working on Jingle Jam really hard lately for the last couple of weeks. I haven't really used anything for the last month. I guess we have learned...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jingle Jam's like only positive, right? And even though I get a lot of rejection, there's a lot of positivity in that, you know, I'm dealing with nice people who are being nice, you know, we had a charity meetup this week where all the charities came down and everyone was so, so goddamn nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, had really interesting things to say and we, you know, great stories about their, what their charity does and all the great work it does, you know, all these people. Really, really interesting. And Jiggle Jam is just so positive. The whole, the whole process is so positive, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feels like the opposite of that, like every part of the process of like, of like making your profile and looking at other people's profiles, getting insights into their awful lives, you know, cause a lot of them are, you see a lot of awful people on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and then finally trying to talk to someone and then either being ghosted or being rejected or, or dealing with that, or then maybe meeting someone that isn't like their pictures and then you have to reject them after they're really into you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole process is like, there's no, I know at the end of it you're supposed to have a relationship with someone and that makes up for it, and I'm sure these moments are, uhm, I haven't had any, but I'm sure these moments are special when you finally get them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think, okay, there's two aspects to this. One is that games have become more like jobs. I like Factorio and these games and the satisfactory sips. My god, the amount of time you've put into satisfactory lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes and no. Like, it feels like a game that is stacked against me, and I feel like, in a sense, like, it's kind of, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of like, ugh, it's kind of like rigged, okay, because I'm playing, I'm playing poker at the table, where there's just professional poker players there, you know? But so that's my point.

[Assistant] Dating is, yeah, is the other way round. Well, it's partly a cultural thing. But I don't think that's necess- I think there is that- I dunno, everyone I've spoken to about Borders Gate 3 has fucking talked about who they've been having sex with and how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or how they've, some of, you know, some of the things they've done. Like, it's literally the, almost the first thing that they've said. And this was how it was back in the day with...

[Assistant] So I read this week that Starfield, people do sink hours into these games and there was a couple playing Starfield late into the night and apparently it like saved them from death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they were binging Starfield and there was like a deadly fire in their apartment. It was like an explosion and the fire spread really, really fast. Well, they didn't notice? And no, so they were there up at like three in the morning. Oh. And he heard this explosion, looked out the window and there was like fire coming up his stairway into his apartment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Starfield literally- literally saving people from death due to them staying up all night, question mark?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is very low, you're right, and that's what the Outer Worlds tried to break away from, with their sort of zany, punky looking, you know, there was always like rocket punky kind of vibe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then again, I think that's what people are after a lot of the time. Do you think, like, I mean, obviously people have, like, the ability to suspend their disbelief when it comes to watching television and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Romantic things, you know, people watch romantic movies or Bridgerton or whatever, you know, with everyone, or Love Island, you know, with people all fucking each other. It doesn't mean that they want to necessarily do that. No. It's escapist.

[Assistant] Sexual encounters in Baldur's Gate, do you know what I mean? It's like, it's kinda got everything, you know, you can be a psychopath and murder a family, and you can also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No it's fine, there'll be free reloads. Free refills. Free refills on all of your Pepsi purchases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, we could just make our own companion though. We don't even have to use one of the standard ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. But I haven't played all of it, I've only done that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The builder is neat, too. We're gonna have to title this podcast an entire podcast about Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hair, yeah, for sure, you know. Yeah, absolutely. So, I think you see it all the time on dating sites as well, right? Like, someone's first picture, you'll be like, oh, they look about 23, and you scroll down, and they're like, 43.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other way too, sometimes you'll scroll, you'll say, God, that looks, this woman looks like she's 43 and you'll scroll down and she'll be 23 and you'll be like, how? Smokin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, very weird. Anyway, thanks everyone, we'll be back. Be beautiful, be good to each other, play games, kiss your companion for me. Kiss your companion for you, yeah yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we, we had the same thing yesterday for my son, who's in the same situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same sort of format, there was like pictures of them when they were little, when they first started singing, they, they, they all sung a bunch of songs and stuff, but instead of sharing memories, they had like, it was like an awards ceremony, they gave certificates and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it was meant to be emotional but I did not feel upset, uh, throughout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was like, but it was because, I'm gonna sound like Lewis now, there's like little technicalities that kind of did it for me. Like, uh, when we got in there, they were playing this song and it was kind of like this, you know, this acoustic song about leaving something or whatever, and it's meant to be sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the song stopped, like, short of the end, you know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you need some deep thoughts, have you ever heard of Jack Handy? No. Have you ever- Is this a joke? No, it's an old, I don't even know if it's still running, but it's an old Saturday Night Live sketch called Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy. And it's like motivational.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quotes and passages usually played over like, you know, there's a beach scene or some tranquil ocean scene in the background with some nice 90s piano music or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I, an email that's going straight in the bin? I have something helpful here for you. Uhm, it's a song called Punctuation Rock, and it's featured on a LeapFrog laptop for kids, and I'm aware of this song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intimately because all three of my kids have used this leapfrog laptop to death and played all of these songs on it. Would you like to hear the lyrics to punctuation rock? It's helpful. Okay. I won't do the music, but basically it goes pun pun punctuation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And remember, there's like two year old kids that listen to this and maybe possibly know better. Through hearing this. It's a classic. Well, in our household at least it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a banger. Everybody knows all the lyrics and everything, yeah. It's a good one. It makes you tear up to see it here and there. Oh, yeah, it's incredible. If you guys want- Look at here, I can tell. Hang on a second, I've got a YouTube video here that I'll share with you as well, just so you get the full effect. You don't have to share it beyond, just listen to it when you have a chance, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, you don't even need to, look, it's right- No, I'm saved for the audience. Oh, right, yeah, it's called PUNK PUNK punctuation song by Leapfrog, Leap Pad 2. There you go. There you go. Alright, let's see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it's interesting and, uh, I would, uh, it's all stuff that possibly I could have just read on Wikipedia if I was interested enough to seek it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, hang on a second though. I mean, Nudist Beach, you're allowed to go there and be nude, but you're not really meant to assault people while you're on the beach. Right, no, you're right. The thing is, I think people sometimes, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying this happens all the time, but sometimes people think that just because people are nude, it's okay to get fresh with them, but it's not. I mean, people can be nude and not be up for having sex as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like more of like an assault on the senses rather than like a physical sexual assault, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there's no script law there, but I think socially you should have the uhm, radar and the recognition to know that maybe that's not appropriate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care. Yea, I honestly don't care. Somebody is innocently naked, you know. Exactly. If a 75 year old dude is walking around naked and he's just like, you know, taking the trash out and he's naked or whatever, fine. Fine. But if he's jacking off, not fine. I don't want it.
