[Assistant] Not only that, but they also found jewelry in his possession that was identified as having belonged to Lee. Wow. Her family confirmed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a swimming club pin, a Disney pin, and a gold locket with the name Lee inscribed on it. There was also a story, another horrifically graphic one, that described the torture and murder of a woman, like I said before, in a white waitress uniform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what Lee was wearing the day she disappeared. The story- she was literally supposed to be at work and was wearing a white waitress uniform. The story mentioned that this woman was tortured and killed off Power Line Road. Well in 1978, later,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A group of men hunting found the top half of a woman of a human skull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which turns out to be part of his thing is he cuts the skull in half. How? He is unlike anything you've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, in one of the stories, which was handwritten, he also says that whoever his like, he calls his bad guy the ghoul. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's so fucking stupid. He's the ghoul and he talks about how he used to use pliers and he would pull out gold fillings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he always, and he says something in his writings that like, we always salvage something from the bodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he talked about gold fillings again. They found so many of them. Like it is very clear that this is not fiction. No. It is reality. He's living it. Like it's stuff in his house. They also found envelopes with the name Jerry Shepherd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, come on. What more did they want though? Like come on. And it also became clear that he was not like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another serial killer that they could point to. Like this was a very, he was so beyond anything. His predilections were so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Specific and so fucking vile, he was obsessed with torture, he was obsessed with humiliation and causing terror in his victims, and he also sexualized defecation and urination, so he would force his victims to drink a lot so that they would urinate while he hung them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evil cloud of smoke gas. That's what he is. And he had the benefit of wearing a fucking police uniform while doing it. That's insane to me. So people trusted him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now during the murder trial Schaefer literally smiled like he was posing for photos. Like m- like victims, mothers and fathers took the stand and he would lock eyes with them and smile like cheese. What a fucking dick. Vile creature is what he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot happened during the trial, like Schaeffer's friend calling in a bomb threat to move the trial? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But something came out about Georgia Jessup and Susan Place's crime scene that was also pretty wild and unexplained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patrick Duvall from the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office was on scene the day that they found those bodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was cross-examined on the stand, and during this, he talked about how horrific that scene really was. And he said he found both the girls' scalps in different places, and the tree was clearly used as a method of mur- uh, torture and murder, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Patrick Kendrick explains in his book that people either think that Gerard John Schaeffer went back to the crime scene and did this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G.J. got interrupted or just didn't finish his initials or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she may have done this so she could be identified later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So beyond an animal or like he's just, he's undescribable. I was going to say that's not even an animal. He really is. And during the murder trial for Susan Well, or excuse me, for Susan Place and Georgia Jessup, Nancy Trotter and Sue Wells took the stand again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the state brought up Dr. Joseph Davis, the Dade County Medical Examiner, to explain the findings of the finding of the bodies and the picture painted from him was even worse. He said both heads were missing and there was evidence that a sharp instrument was used to cut them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them had cuts into the fourth cervical vertebrae, so he'd cut directly through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he went into like detail about the crime scenes and about how...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like there's an interview in the book about this that like they go back and forth, like the cross examination and how he's like, the attorney was trying to be like, so this couldn't be self-inflicted. And he was like, no, I do not think that they cut their own heads off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they were taken from their house. Oh wow. Like a year to the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was found guilty of first degree murder for the deaths of both Susan Place and Georgia Jessup. You know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, October 4th, on what would have been Susan Place's 19th birthday, he was sentenced to two concurrent life sentences. Byeeee. Like, on Susan Place's 19th birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's some spiritual shit right there. Now, he was smiling and chatting with reporters outside the courtroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told them he had written something on the prison cell wall in the court, in the courthouse where they kept him. And what they found out it said was, this is the land of lost content. I see it shining plain, the happy highways where I went and cannot go again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I did not look it up. I wanted to see if you knew what that was from. Can you say it one more time? I'm sorry. This is the land of lost content. I see it shining plain. The happy highway is where I went and cannot go again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the analysis of this act that he did was to seem like he is intelligent and deep in any way, but he is not. Uh, but it's basically like that whole little stanza is that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking back with nostalgically at like what I once had and where I once lived, but I can't go back there. Right. So it's like, so it's like, you did, I don't know why I said so, it's like twice. I recognized it as soon as the second one came up. But it's basically him being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I murdered a bunch of people and did all these horrible things so I can't go back to that life I once had where I was a police officer and I was this and I was that. I can't go back to that land of being free to abduct teenage girls and murder them because now I have to face this kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. That's what that says to me. Like I can't go back to that life of killing and because I've been caught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty confessional to me. One might say. Pretty confessional, but to him I think he thinks it's like deep kind of a confession, but not really. And it's also like him being like, I just love poetry guys. I bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a bad, uh, point that like Colette probably, cause she was known to be like a poetry girl. Right. She wrote it, she read it, she always had it with her. Right. So that would be something, and that's an obscure one it feels like. Yeah. It feels like something that maybe she would have brought up. Yeah. Which I think is another like, he's doing another needle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if we all forgot that. The way that you just dropped a motherfucking bomb. I thought he got divorced. He got divorced from his first wife, Martha. He's still married to that girl he met at the grocery store. Oh shit. He is still married. Didn't have kids, but he's still married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause this all happened in the span of not that long of time. It's only a couple years. That poor woman. So this-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pivotal part of convicting him. It was introduced as evidence, like here they are. Because you literally wrote what happened word for word. Some of the names of his writings, by the way, Into the Mind of the Ghoul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's not. Okay. And don't worry, that's, it's a good ending, it's a good ending. Uh, but he went on like, so he's asked about the writings and he goes on this long rant about how they're just fantasy and other horror writers don't get blamed for doing the things they write.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you'll just use it like a confession if I read it out loud. And the guy's like, you really don't have to. It's fine. Like I'm, I'm honestly not asking you to. And then he goes with absolutely no pushing. He goes, you want me to read it? Okay. I'll read it. I'll read it out loud. And the guy's like, I don't want you to read it, sir. And he goes, I'll just, he goes, I'll just trust you to do the right thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was like, you're gonna use a snippet of this as a confession? And then he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I beg to differ. To which I say, no you're not. Nay sir. And he's just being, he says, I'm just being convicted because I wrote horror. And he says, and I was exceptional at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I'm being convicted, because I am an exceptional writer. That's why. To which I say no, it was the teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably all that. The fact that you freely admitted and were convicted of bringing two girls under the same circumstances to the same place where other murder victims were found and trying to kill them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blonde on a stick? Horrific. Yea, I don't think so. No. Now, it has been speculated a lot how many murders he is truly responsible for. I mean, I bet. Because there's definitely more. Oh yea. Because around this time too, there was a lot of hitchhikers, a lot of runaways, and unfortunately he had that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, he actually wrote in a letter because he was writing to, uhm, his ex-girlfriend Sandra London there for a while, out of prison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll get to her in a second. He wrote, as you know, and this was in 1991, he said, I've always harped on District Attorney Robert Stone's list of 34. In 1973, I sat down and drew up a list of my own. Now remember, he's claiming he's never murdered anyone. Right. But now he's writing a list. As I recall, my list was just over 80.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure. So yeah. So then he went on and said, I'm not claiming a huge number. I would say it runs between 80 and 110. But I thought you didn't kill anybody. Yeah, but over eight years and three continents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is really horrific and I just want to warn you right now, trigger warning, this is just like a really gross thing to say. He said, one whore drowned in her own vomit while watching me disembowel her girlfriend. I'm not sure that counts as a valid kill. Did the pregnant ones count as two kills? It gets confusing. Fuck off dude. That's what he wrote. And then he tried to say, I didn't kill anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about? He's, he's also, like he did absolutely 100% kill these people. He is writing this shit for shock value. Exactly. Free continents. Exactly. He 100% killed more people and he's a vile, sadistic monster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievable proportions, but I also think he's a little bitch and he likes to scare people. That's part of his thing. That's part of what he would do to these women was terror. He inflicted terror on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He likes to do it to people when he's in prison. He likes to do it to people anytime he can. So it's one of those things I just like to write. It's like Albert Fish. I just like to write this shit because I get off on it. And I can scare people. He's reliving it. This is what I would have done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then I watched another interview with him, and he said, I know a lot of serial killers in here. Remember, he was in prison in Florida, so, in the 70s, so he did. He said, I know a lot of serial killers in here, and none of them deny it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, most of them do, actually. Like, a lot of them deny it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donald Evans was convicted of killing at least three people between 85 and 91. And unfortunately, he's right about that. The guy confessed like a billion times, even to people at rest stops, like he couldn't stop confessing. But it's like, no, you just pulled one that's like a weird one, that just liked confessing to people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he says in this interview, he was like flexing that he like talked to other serial killers and I was like, are you alright sir? He's like, this is a club. He said in this interview, oddest tool, I talked to him this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh cool, it's because you're locked in a fucking cage with him because you're a goddamn evil creature from the depths of the bowels of hell's ass. Like that's, that's not cool that you're like, oh I talked to him this morning. Yeah, you're locked in the same cage, you idiot. Of course you're gonna see him. You're dumb, you both got caught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he goes, Audis doesn't deny anything. He says Henry Lee Lucas is lying. He says we killed over 100 people together and he's trying to say we didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we going to? Just you wait. It's going to be bad. But okay, Gerard, we get it. You're in prison in Florida. You're going to be, meet some bad guys. So less than two months after the trial,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where we get back to his wife. Oh, okay, yeah, what's up? Two months after the trial. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, she married the man that was defending her husband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His wife, who he was still married to, married his defense attorney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blew my god damn mind. I don't even know if- Blew my mind. Yeah, I'm fried over here. Like what the fuck? I'm just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this same year that this happened, his former girlfriend, Sandra London, published, self published, excuse me, no one was actually going to publish this, a collection of his stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is him feeling, it's another way for him to be powerful and for him to make people read what he has actually done. Right. And even like for the families to know that those books are out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even some of the inmates who were in there with him who were actual serial killers said they couldn't even read his writings. They didn't even want him to read them out loud because they were like, that's too much. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that Tony was the one who planted those teeth in his house and like framed him. Totally, dude. Yeah. And this is a letter that he wrote to his ex-girlfriend, Sandra London, while in prison. So again, he's claiming he hasn't killed anybody, but then saying he also has killed everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, and this is how, this is where he, his head's at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm probably at least one of the top serial killers of the century. I thought you didn't kill anyone. Yeah. I'm certainly one of the most interesting and maybe the most articulate and introspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm no doubt the most skillful killer. I killed women in all ways, from shooting, strangling, stabbing, and beheading to odd ways, such as drowning, smothering, and crucifixion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One drowned in her own vomit while watching me disembowel her girlfriend. So he claimed that again, which is a little scary. I've crucified women, watched the flies work on living flesh and seen gagged women strangle to death on their own vomitus. I've skinned women. I enjoyed each and every experience. That's what he had to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weirdly. How'd, how'd that happen? I wonder how. He was stabbed over 40 times, his throat was cut ear to ear, and both of his eyes were gouged out. Hm. Deserved. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Jane Doe from 1972 was identified as 15 year old Susan Gale Poole. She had gone missing before Christmas in 1972 and her skeletal remains were found June 1974. She was found tied to a mangrove tree with wire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To really find out for sure now. Right. But it was interesting that in June 2022 this is still unfolding. Wow. And that is the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I'm glad it's over. I'm glad it's out of my system and into yours now. I'm sorry about that. Give someone a hug. Give someone a hug. I don't even care if you like hugs. I don't even like them. Go give somebody a hug. Uh, this guy sucked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That reminds me, here's a little palate cleanser for you. You know that book Halitosis that I used to read to the girls during TT bedtime? Yea, it's a good book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was also the ex-girlfriend of Salem Saberhagen on Sabrina the Teenage Witch was Helly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will tag it in here. There's also, um, there's a, I mean there's a ton of articles on the internet about this guy and there's a ton of newspaper articles you can read on newspapers.com because I love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the first time I have this kind of interviews like someone with a baby, that's beautiful. Thank you for doing. Beautiful energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. No, thank you. That energy, I can feel the beautiful energy right now over here because of your baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Attacks every night before I go to bed telling my nutritionist what I ate during the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gets super mad at me. And he punished me. Bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Why you have to think those things? That's crazy. You have your baby here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello guys, I am Maluma Baby. I'm a singer from Medellín, Colombia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me? No, you know what? Actually, that wasn't me. That was my fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were the ones who I saw on a tweet one time. They texted like, yeah, we like when you say Maluma baby in your songs. I was like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so from now, I'm a luma baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. You're pretty close. Yeah. What's your name, sorry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, because my name is Maluma, like my nickname because my artistic name, but my real name is Juan Luis. But I didn't know your name was Bobby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, he's the cutest. Oh, he's the cutest, no, but he's super cute. Very, very cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know why I'm laughing? Because the other day I was in a farm in Colombia and there was a little cute dog that was called Bobby. So, that's why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for that. Okay, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, I know. She's just focused doing her own thing. She's the best. She's not paying attention to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should try it. Now that you have your baby and everything that will look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Is long enough? Yea, you can do a couple braids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we were, we were not that close. Maybe we were very immature and we didn't understand that this was like a good competition and not like something that can like, I don't know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, like just interrupt our careers and now we're good friends. We're close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, father, he's not that old. He cannot be that mean, man. I would say like my grandfather, like, you know. No, I'm kidding. He's like my big brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other generation. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's pretty old, wow. Yeaah, I mean, he's not that old, but I don't wanna be his age one time, and I don't want someone to call me like, old. So yeaah, I would say like, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's in a great age right now, he's enjoying life, you know. Cool. How old is he? Like maybe 39?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know, I don't know, let's, let's see, let's see whenever, whenever it comes. I mean, I'm ready for it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has to be like, like a shock in your life, you know? Like knowing that you're gonna be that... How does it feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, I'm trying to learn more English, like, I'm getting better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, no, my mom. Oh, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. Sorry, I forgot it. Yeaah, my mom. Just my sister and I. My sister, she's, she's, well, she's gonna get mad, but whatever, she's older than me. I'm not gonna say how many years, but yeaah, she's older than me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's older than me, and she's 35. Oh shit, I said her age, okay. She's 35, she's older than me, and she's the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay, she's gonna like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, she doesn't. No. No, no, but she wants to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's gay though, and she wants to have a baby with her girlfriend, and it's nice too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a bad idea, come on. Like now, like you're not, well, you're still fitting your baby or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he quick. Because he knew that it was time for me to fly by myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why, why you do this mic like this? Why you don't put just one here and that's it and you can do anything with both hands?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Yeah bro, it's because of the quality of the sound? Oh shit, it's crazy. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like recording music with this mic too. It's a great quality. I record a bunch of songs with this, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fire, it's fire. Everything's fire. You guys have the best mic, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, that was your idea. So you knew that this was like the best mics in town and you just were like, yeah, let's use them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you, no, no, no, wait, no, for sure, because I want to know, because you know that I'm coming from the podcast. Yeah. Wait, wait. Yeah. How you started like everything, because I, you know that I come from Latin America. So sometimes I don't know a bunch of things that happen in America. So I always talk into my team and they tell me what's the new stuff that's happening. All the beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy and beautiful idea of doing this podcast started because for me, that's having a pretty dope talent, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you do it because, okay. You do it because of the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well maybe we're from Medellin and we were raised in a pretty small town and we talk similar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck no. You're not gonna do that bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just met me and I feel like you're hating on me. Like why? Did I do something wrong to you? For real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. I said like three different things, but yeaah, because I mean we have in slang, we have in the slang in Medellin, we have so many ways to say, bro, that it could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is not, if they say, if they, if they're honest and they say, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, when I drink maybe a little bit too much, and I have a extra glass of wine, maybe I snort. And I feel that that's honest, you know, and I feel like I can trust that woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's fine. It's fine. I was getting more. Oh yeaah, I have many tattoos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, massive, like stickers, it looks more like a wrapping I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The car's wrapping? Cause they're pretty solid. Not stickers. You wanna have more or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I changed it, you know, new, new starts, new beginnings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know? Because I heard, I heard like it's pretty difficult to women, like pregnancy during the nine months is pretty hard. So of course I need to understand my girl, you know, my mamans, my baby, baby mama. Yeah, my, yeah, whatever you understand how to handle the whole situation. You know what I mean? Like you can give me some advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I like doing other people nails. Okay. No, I don't like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't like doing other people's nails. No way. I don't like that. I just do my own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like when people do it to me because it hurts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see, let me see, let me see. No, no, I don't know. Yeah, you did it by natural, right? You didn't play any, any, how to say, like painting or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything, weather, good food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People, you know, people in LA, the vibe over there, the flow in LA is fire, I like it. Because it looks like Medellin too, you know like Medellin we have like mountains, and the weather is similar than LA. Have you been in Latin America before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay. Where did you fly before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why instead of going to Europe, why you didn't choose Colombia?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but you should come to Colombia. It's a country, it's a country that no, nobody, like not everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Is it still LA, no? No. Okay, so I would say California.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's big, but it's not like massive, no. It's pretty proportional, you know, like, it's not a crazy mountain, you know, full of animals, no, it's just a place that I can have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're gonna get kids, you need to practice it. You don't need to practice. No?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, practice, okay. But she doesn't know we're talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she's gonna be hungry. She's gonna be crying because of me. It's because you're not feeding her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. That was, oh shit. That was hilarious. Oh, okay. Wow, what a great name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You saw that? I knew that she, she was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, she woke up and immediately she looked at me like, yeah, like Zulander, they have like that, but not like the Zulander one, like yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost, no worries. Wow, she's so cute for real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have any friends. How are you gonna be a friend? How people wanna be friends with you if you're like that serious?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, hey what's up guys? This is Maluma and we're starting the interview right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing my braids here in New York. I'm preparing because I have a show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here I'm doing my tour in North America so I feel like pretty happy to be here with you and thanks for having me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Singing on my tour, I'm singing my new album that is called Don Juan, that is already out. In all the platforms, people, you know already Don Juan is out, so go check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My latest single is Segun Quien with Karin Leon from Mexico. And yeaah, many good things are about to come. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because you can wear them to every occasion, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna wear a pair of shoes from now. You're saying that you want me to wear just a pair of shoes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I have more, but now I'm using this because I like them, but maybe next week I'm gonna change them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe because he's, he's pretty, he's funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I love the... I have to say it in Spanish, but I like Calamardo. It's the same in English, Calamardo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One time. Just say, say one time and then I'll be happy and then I don't, I don't say anything else. Please. Calamardo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let's do, okay, if we don't do, if we don't say calamardo, can you do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This. Boon, poon, poon, poon. Or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why you prefer going to Europe instead of going to Colombia. Because you like more that part of the world than the other side of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You like my braids or not? I do. You're like, looking at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Know why you were trying to do all. This is crazy. Love it. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's fine. Next time we do the same interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you gonna watch the, the show? Yeah? Okay. Fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many people will be there? I don't know, how many people feed there? 18? 18,000?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, my best friend needs to go to Los Angeles. And I just need your service, please, pilot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he would say, okay, what time you need it and then you tell me what time you need to find it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I learned how to braid because I used to braid Manuela, my sister, when we were young. W-well, kids, sorry. When we were kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clothing thoughts? Closing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, clothing, oh, clothing, okay, I got you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I have a couple of thoughts. And one of them is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure, you need to stay in New York to go to a show. It would be nice to have you in my show so you can see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my thought, that I thought that I would be fired to have you in my show so you can enjoy some of the Latino flavor in the garden, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohhhh, wow, it's funny that you could have that name for your page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a nice thing. Okay, yeaah. Okay, maybe so I'll see you in California next time I tour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tranquilo, Bobby, tranquilo. La buena escucha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll make love to you like you want me to, and I'll hold you tight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems like ever since the first day we met, there was no one else I knew.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes I do, it hurts. Beauty is pain. Stop hating. Hey, nice eyelashes though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know why I don't have a deal there, alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I'm stupid because I say, why don't the bus go here? Maybe the bus could go there. What's worse, musician or magician?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look like rock-rock, Rocky Balboa, like threw up on you, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know they're doing my next fight outfit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. He grabbed a cop. He's ex-Marine dog. Show him some respect. Yes or no? They deserve respect. The cops are not Marines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How old are you? I'm just kidding, I don't know, seven? I don't know, I don't really know. What are you asking me this for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. This is not Cinderella's story either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the shoe fits, I'm saying no. I'm just kidding. It's a joke. Relax. If the shoe fits, it's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the best. Straight solid. Oregon, can you help me out with this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a different topic. Can we fight? Can we put the gloves on? Yeaah. Cause I'm tired of you now. Just kidding. I love you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a cool, that's a cool spot. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go. Alright, act like you're trying to grab a fly. Wow. Wow. Go. Grab a fly? Yes. Go. Punch. Harder. Turn your fist. Yup. Turn your fist at, uh, specific. So like. No, no, no. You went like this. I said go like. So it starts off like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you heard my friend. Is that cool with you? Oh, let's continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the HBO official Band of Brothers podcast, this is Roger Bennett. You say flash, I say thunder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one of the series most humanly compelling, poetically written, visually thrilling, deeply personal installments. An episode with a tenderness so incongruent to its setting. The Battle of the Bulge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which has Easy Company pinned in frozen foxholes in the Ardennes forest, where General Anthony McAuliffe, played by Bill Armstrong, ladles out the orders and portends what's to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This episode unfolds through the eyes of one of its most singular characters, Doc Eugene Rowe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man whom we encounter in Baston's opening shot, trudging through the fog and snow. We see a close up of the Red Cross armband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we even see his face. From there, we follow Ro on the endless quest for supplies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From foxhole to foxhole as the Germans rain artillery onto Easy Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We follow Ro back and forth to the town of Bastogne, behind the lines, where he forges a bond, one born of empathy really, with René Le Maire, a remarkable Belgian nurse who, like Ro,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's perpetually pitted in a staring match with death as she works to treat wounded soldiers at a makeshift field hospital located in a church. When Baston first dead, many hardcore viewers were surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They tuned in, expecting to be exposed to epic set pieces and Michael Bay scale battle scenes. Instead, they were served a show of subtlety. Tiny moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A narrative that captured the big story in a deaf, nuanced way. And to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was all the more powerful for it. But without sacrificing any of the resoluteness that had become a core value of Easy Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose tenacity is best summed up by Colonel Sink himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My guest today. Well, to me, he's one of Band of Brothers' greatest scene stealers. A man who plays technician, fourth grade, Eugene Gilbert Rose Sr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A medic so dedicated, so earnest, possibly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most selfless human being in a series filled with them. Known by the men as an angel. Road cuts a ghost-like figure, flitting from foxhole to foxhole, man to man. Akin to human purgatory, the last face so many soldiers would see on the journey between life and death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stephen Ambrose in this Band of Brothers book described Eugene Rose role vastly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The medics were the most popular, respected and appreciated men in the company. Their weapons were their first aid kits. Their place on the line was wherever a man called out that he was wounded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've still got it Shane Taylor, and I will imagine between your first response...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the words that came after the first two, a lot of our listeners are utterly shocked to know that Mr Shane Taylor grew up in Kent, England, thousands of miles away from the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will talk more about your accent in a minute. I want to hear about how you came to Band of Brothers in the first place. You were a young, raw actor. You had a role in dinner theatre when you heard about the auditions. Just explain to America the notion of dinner theatre. Locate yourself in your career arc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give us a sense of the audition process from tiny dirty little ramshackle room to, you know, the great HANKS!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you're very casual about it, the Atheneum Hotel. My god, the Atheneum Hotel, just walking into the lobby of that, you know, is wow. And you're not just auditioning in front of anyone. There's Tom Hanks in the middle of Castaway. Tom Hanks, full on Chuck Nolan beard and all. Like, I'd be like, where's Wilson? Take us into that room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why they would want an Englishman to play such a deeply singular American character in the first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not a lot of Eugene Rowe in the Band of Brothers book and you were unfortunate to not be able to speak to the real Doc Rowe firsthand. He passed in 1998 and you've said you missed out on the man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you did reach out to the family and called his first wife Myrtle. Tell us what her initial instinct was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see Ralph Spina, the other Easy Company Medic, alongside you in Bastion. He's the one who Doc Rowe keeps conferring with about exactly where to get scissors. During basic training before the shoot began, you actually learnt a lot about the role of medics. From Dale Dye, the decorated Marine veteran who trained the cast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a gentleman that really taught you exactly what the medic meant to the companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to be clear, you just dropped casually that while everybody else is getting fit, you are going in a crash course of being able to identify capillary bleeding. I mean, this is like bootcamp med school hybrid for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a story that I heard from Leibgott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, you became so well trained, so well drilled, you subsumed the Eugene Ray personas to such a degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did the other actors start to see you as a bona fide medic and actually seek out your advice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nixon has got a fishbone stuck in his throat, which I've had that. It's excruciating and terrifying and your throat is constricting. And his number one impulse is, yeah, let me go and speak to Shane Taylor. He's the man I want to save my life in this moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amazing part of this story, that old general hospital related line, I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV. You will like a twist on that, that I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV so convincingly that the other actors are completely 100% sure


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that moment you were 100% sure that you were going to stitch up this bloody man and save the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll get your fishbone out of your throat 2-0 while we're at it. Let's do it. Let's dive into the accent, the Cajun accent. I'm Gene, Eugene Rose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you find yourself an accent coach, Joan Washington, who hands you a cassette of 1940s Cajun French.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a detail I love in this episode where Ro reveals his grandmother was a traitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A mythical figure in Louisiana Cajun culture, blessed with the power of healing, which is thought to be a blessing from God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way you play Ro is one of true introverted economy. He doesn't really say anything unless he truly has to. And you have self-described as quite an introverted kid, super shy. There's a lot of that in Eugene Ro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We first get a sense of Ro's role in Crossroads, episode 5, in which he berates Winters and Lieutenant Welsh for giving too much morphine to Moose Heiliger after he's been hit by friendly fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I'm fascinated psychologically after being such an ensemble character for the first five episodes. Emotionally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you feel about stepping up into the spotlight? Almost like a bass player being given the opportunity to be the lead singer for one song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the things that shocks me about how these episodes were made, 6 and 7, Bastogne and The Breaking Point, we see the unforgiving freeze of Belgium's forests, but they're actually shot indoors on a soundstage in a converted aerodrome in Hertfordshire, England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what is the secret to playing cold when you are actually sweating away in thick woolen clothing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The running scenes. The moment the artillery barrage hits, everyone else covers. Roe simply starts to scamper. Running, ducking, rolling, foxtail to foxtail. YOU GUYS HIT!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've said these are some of your favourite scenes to shoot. The rounds going off, the sound, the trees, the fibreglass trees exploding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're feeling emotions of adrenaline confusion as you're shooting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm fascinated by Ro's relationship to the other members of Easy Company, because he is part medic, part concierge, part nourishing life force. At rest, he sits apart, smiles, but doesn't partake in the repartee, nor does he call the other men by their nicknames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other key setting for Ro in this episode is the besieged town of Bastogne itself, to which he travels back behind the lines to deliver the wounded to a temporary field hospital set in a magnificently haunting local church.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were these scenes shot before or after the foxhole scenes? Because I'm interested how you maintain a continuity of emotion as your character bounces back and forth on multiple trips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's in the field hospital where Band of Brothers has one of its most significant female characters. Enter the episode Renee, Bernadette, Emily Le Maire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While it's not clear she and Roe ever met in real life, she really existed, this heroic figure. She was born, served, she died in the town of Bastogne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Augusta, another hero of the Battle of the Bulge. A bulger nurse who worked with the US Army physician John Prior to treat soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think about that a lot, but I think about more the chemistry between the two of you, the relationship between Roe and Renee as depicted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the course of four visits, it's really beautiful, Shay. There's such a poetry to row.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But these two, they seem to bond, to forge, almost a love, which I'm projecting, but it's never consummated, but deeply, deeply profound. Is it that he recognizes in her a sense of common duty, a common service, a common experience, and for a moment, he's not alone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scene where you sit with her after you have just fought and failed to save the life of a wounded soldier, Ro sits outside, and the man who believes he's the descendant of a traitor's, a Cajun healer, whose abilities to heal are holy, he tells Renee, With your touch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Row charges past a foreboding pile of dozens of American corpses. Renee uses his name. They are briefly, deeply, emotionally connected. These are two human beings who are individuals who cannot let themselves get attached to anyone for fear of losing them, but they become attached.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, in this moment when Ro is struggling, Baston has become his respite, but that respite is fleeting. Shortly after Harry Welsh has been shot in the thigh, Ro uses the vaunted morphine finally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Winters sees his medics fraying that the carer needs care. Eugene, get yourself into town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Baston that night is a light and a Luftwaffe aerial bombardment to our horror. We see the field hospital, the church has been hit, all the patients, all the staff have been entombed in rubble. What was it like to play that scene?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standing in the shattered doorway, a man trying just to keep it going amidst all the destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You find Rene's blue scarf, as you say, but there's not a single moment to grieve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it break room? Or does it just numb him completely and that's the numbing that enables him to carry on? Because he is a man transfer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that, because when I watched that, I always thought that was just him recommitting to duty over sentimentality. You know, from a moment he dropped his guard with René. But your take is that he's honouring René, now carrying René with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's recommitted to the men. He wavered before redoubling his commitment to victory. Really? Just like the remainder of Easy Company itself, which was bedraggled, which was flailing, but then persevered, overcame and stood its ground, which comes through in that incredible line of his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This episode, it really sweeps all that away, turns on its head, just the suffering, the struggle, the agony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the book, Band of Brothers, Lieutenant Foley laments beautifully that Eugene Rowe never got recognition for his bravery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it if any man who struggled in the snow and the cold in the many attacks deserved such a medal? It was Eugene Rape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you believe your performance ultimately, while it's not a medal, was a way of paying honour to Rose Legacy and all medics who serve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did see an interview with you that you did at Baston during an anniversary in 2016. There were a number of members of the cast there and you said something remarkable that because of the power of your role,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the intense emotional texture of your performance, that you traveled the world going from promotional event to promotional event for Band of Brothers, and you almost have to remind people that you yourself didn't serve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's a life lesson you take from having lived as .ro for such a long period of your own life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is Band the Brothers popularity? Why is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God, it's such a joy and a remarkable thing to speak to you, a human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who has given, to me, one of the most inspiring performances of a show that just, well it's my favourite show in the world and the essence of the man is really in the prayer of Saint Francis, the improvised prayer of Saint Francis which he delivers in his foxhole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shane Taylor, it's an honour to speak to you. Thank you, and Godspeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my favourite parts of that conversation. The slightly insane story about Shane attempting to extract a fishbone out of Ron Livingston's throat during actor bootcamp. Story we love so much. We asked Ron about it when he joined this podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another cast member who drank that Kool-Aid? Donnie Wahlberg, aka Second Lieutenant Carl Wood Lipton. And he joins us next episode. The Breaking Point. Band of Brothers 7th instalment. In which Easy Company battles the Germans. The sub-freezing conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the incompetence of their own commanding officer, Foxhole Norman Dyke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Donny tells us about the lifelong bond that the series created amongst the members of the cast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure to subscribe to HBO's official Band of Brothers podcast, wherever you get your podcasts. And please rate, review and share, it helps more than we can say. And a reminder,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you can watch Bastan in every episode of Band of Brothers. You know where to find them on HBO Max right now. Until next time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spears comes across this group of Kraut prisoners, digging a hole or some such, under guard and all. He breaks out a pack of smokes, passes them out. He even gives them a light. Then, all of a sudden, he swings up his Thompson, and he hoses him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go check this out guys, this is a really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, citizens? We've got some huge news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show me they're installing kitty litter in the kids bathrooms. This is a huge fungus that you just aren't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow they're dumber? Somehow they're dumber. They're dumber than their characters?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it in? Leave him warningless. A reader. Yea, someone to read aloud. He's allowed to read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is it? What do you guys go with? Babbling Brook, White Noise, what are we talking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was having like a panic attack while you were sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has Sade ever collabed with anybody? Has she ever done a duet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a while. It's been a while. It's not really a fest these days. You call it a fest, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought he died. The end is insane. The switcheroo. Unbelievable. Anybody at TI Nation, if you haven't seen the film, you gotta see it. And then go to Rotten Tomato and boost the fucking score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, well the next one is Dr. Seuss, the cat in the hat. Dr. Seuss is the cat in the hat. Sorry. Okay, that's Mike Myers. Oh, yes. Which?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they were bummed on that one, but I think she was also bummed on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is just the 50 shades. Would you like to know the number 10 spot? Our final...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, I'll give you a hint, it's a CGI, there are CGI characters in the film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to, yeaah, I need to watch that. I wanna watch, I wanna- The shots are crazy. I wanna watch Mr. Magoo as well, I bet that's pretty fuckin' fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're like, God, these guys are fucking dumb as fuck. We know it's- it's Harry and the Hendersons, dude. Okay, what could be my- No, it can't be. That's a classic. Okay, here you go. It's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it's still, everybody's like, oh yeah, the dog's still alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe. Next time. Next time, baby. Fuck you rotten tomato. Game Overboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get in there before it's too late, baby.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to This is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today we talk about... My nutsack is resting on his knuckles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] General Taylor has also announced that the 101st Airborne Division


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll definitely be redeployed to the Pacific. So, beginning tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 0600 hours, we will begin training to go to war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I called him, and then I was, and then I was like, no, it was a butt dial. It was a butt dial. Oh, that's a good one. It was a butt FaceTime. That is a good one. Butt Face?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we've done this before. Blake and I, have we told this story on the pod? I feel like we did. When we all went to the Super Bowl, uhm, Questlove was DJing the losing teams on those. And, uh, invited me, and I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be cool. That would be legendary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of this story is that Wes loves like, hey, this, this is not great. This is kind of boring. Do you want to go to Prince's party? Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're kind of exhausted. We don't know anybody there. It's late. I think it's now like 4 a.m. at this point. And so we just go to like, uh, there's like a fucking, uh, old country buffet set up. And we just are like, let's max out on these like hot wings or whatever. We sit down and drink across the lake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then all of a sudden this dude with like a cane sits down next to me. And then there's like a super large guy standing behind Blake. And then I just turn to my right and it's Prince. With the cane?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate to let you down, didn't smell Prince first. Turned, looked to him, he looked at me and I just gave like a nod. I'm in like, fucking khakis and new balances. He's in like the full ice skating jumpsuit, right? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tara Lipinski and the other dude with the crazy haircuts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] American tribesman. So, so looking at Blake across the way and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my fucking god! And he's looking at me like, no, like whatever. And then all of a sudden...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10, 30 seconds later, the lights come up and everyone's like, time to go, it's over. And I'm like, oh shit, like, let me just finish my food here or whatever. And then Blake and I walk out and I'm like, that was fucking crazy. I was like, I know dude, like fucking a prince impersonator at a prince party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we think? I think you were really drunk. And there was that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no, this is just the other day. Oh, okay. Because I was like, oh, my buddy Bernie's gonna be there, you guys can link, maybe, whatever. And so, Bernie goes, where you at? Where you going? And Blake just sends a skull and crossbones. And he was like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because dude, I know we talked about this, like half of the previous like NFL dudes who are like our age are there just promoting their new vitamin water or what so much body armor water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, who was like, it's called popcorn lung, technically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ingrid Goes West is a like, I'm not knocking that movie, I like that movie a lot. It's a beat for beat, like character for character. Talented Mr. Ripley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Saltburn is about somebody working their way up into a higher society?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as the 15 seconds, I feel like we still have 6 seconds on the clock, not unlike, uh, what Kansas City had on the clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And fingers crossed, I hope that, uhm, what is it again? The Entity? I hope that he's one of those, like, behind the scenes gazillionaires who produces a ton of shit. Yeah, I hope that for him too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I kinda wish I heard his voice more, but when I did hear it, he sounded good, he roller skated off the chain, and my new favorite, uh, musician? Her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just jumping out on the guitar. I feel like she pops out, like, I think she was in the, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read a nepo baby one this week that just blew my fucking mind. What was that? I can't remember it, but I was like holy fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that was a good one. I thought it was such a huge kind of like swing, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, it wasn't like so creative, it was just kind of like, let's make these people look ridiculous, and you kind of go, that's very funny, they're, they're game, but like the mullet one was at least kind of, I was like, oh, that's funny, they're driving around, people get mullets, and then in the end it goes, business up front, party in the back, and I was like, okay, that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he gonna be roller skating? And I will say that someone put, someone put like a meme up of like the woman on the pole falling and they're like, is everyone gonna pretend that she didn't fall? She didn't fall. Cause there's a woman in the background on the pole that went down at the exact same time as her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This ensemble narrative reinforces the notion of brotherhood at the heart of the series, revolving around the central themes of inclusion,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And exclusion. The latter experienced by those green replacements. The new men, who yes, had gone through paratrooper training, but at the beginning of this episode at least, had yet to be tested in the crucible of combat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A naivete and innocence, which would soon be shattered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easy company is in high spirits as they're briefed on their next mission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will play a crucial role in Operation Market Garden, a high-risk British hatch plan in which the men would parachute into the Netherlands, liberate the city of Eindhoven, and clear a path for British armoured divisions to batter their way towards Berlin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the initial stunning, beautiful, unopposed daytime jump,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the moment of wonder and delight as Easy Company are welcomed as all conquering heroes by a thronging Dutch crowd during the joyous liberation of Eindhoven. We once again are exposed to the truth that war is filled with savage mood swings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As EZ enters the town of Neunen, the reconnaissance mission discovers that the Germans situated there are far more equipped and prepared than military intelligence had ever believed. And what ensues is a battle where they fall victim not only to the Germans, but the age-old British obsession with protocol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They retreat without Star Sergeant Bull Randleman, who's injured in a tank explosion and forced to seek shelter alone in a barn behind enemy lines. That night, as Bull endures a harrowing hand-to-hand encounter with a German soldier, the men of EZ form a search company to try and find their brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately, Replacements is an episode about that fraternal bond and courage, both of Bull, who makes his way back to Easy Company the following morning, and of his fellow paratroopers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also about war's neglect of such virtues. As Ambrose writes in the Band of Brothers book,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Its officers were skilled and determined, as well as being brave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the man who played Wild Bill Garnier, the fearless kid from South Philadelphia who won a silver star and two purple hearts among other decorations during the Second World War losing a leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium, 1944, and in inimitable style, returning home to live a remarkable life in Philly, as if unimpaired by the injury. His relationships with the other men, especially Toy and Heffron, were living proof of Stephen Ambrose's words in the Band of Brothers book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That comrades are closer than friends, closer than brothers. They're trusting and their knowledge of each other is total and will never be repeated with any civilian, not even a wife lover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or child. It is a joy to welcome a gent who according to the other actors played that role of glue guy on the set throughout the shoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank is a joy to have you. Let us go right back to the beginning. You're a 33 year old actor from the Bronx. You'd had a steady stream of street smart characters in movies like bad boys with Will Smith. Tell us, how'd you first hear about this band of brothers project?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From then on it was Garnier. Three auditions in, you're reading with Tom Hanks, who in your reading with the great man jumped a page in the script and tell us what you did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got to say, when you tell me Frank John Hughes, that Tom Hanks said, Frank John Hughes, you just made my day. I am not Frank John Hughes. But just hearing that story thrills me in the here and now and fills me with joy. I can't imagine the joy that you felt in that moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So into the final audition, and after the Tom Hanks praise, you expected it maybe to be you and possibly two other potential Garniers, but then you arrive, and it was essentially Garnier Lollapalooza. Describe the scene that met you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You told me something beautiful. You said essentially you decided that you had zero fucks to give and you were just gonna bring it, but you did have one special superpower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone, and it's a bit mysterious, I'm gonna be honest this part of the story, someone had slipped you, and I love this, the real Garnier's phone number. That's right. And some video footage, so you had an inside track of types.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had a little ace in your pocket. You had actually spoken to the real Garnier because you didn't just get the phone number. You had that I don't know a word for it. Let's just say a certain confidence to actually call the man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there were 300 including massive famous faces, not just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who the guy was that went out for a drink with Garnier and told him that he got the part but didn't end up being Garnier. Who was the imposter Garnier? How did this all happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The brother who was killed in Casino Italy that the real Garnier found out by reading somebody else's letter right before Normandy. He read that, found out that his own brother had been lost. In Johnny Martin's jacket, yea. In his own words, he said, I felt like the floor fell out from under me. I went into Normandy with one goal, to leave no German soldier alive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A number of actors were blessed to develop friendships with the men that they portrayed in Band of Brothers, the heroes they portrayed. You were blessed that Ghani was still alive, very much still alive in his late 80s, still in South Philly. He was a huge, huge character. Can you give us a sense


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to basic training, one of the legendary experiences of Band of Brothers, which you called, and I love this, method on steroids, 40 Hollywood-ish actors sent to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bootcamp to become accustomed to paratrooper ways, paratrooper culture. We have heard from so many of the other actors that at this bootcamp, you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank John Hughes actually thrived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were the one who was giving others information like, lads, here's how you break army boots in, you fling them into the bathtub, and I need to know, where does all your inside military information come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You even told your own son, from now on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about this episode, Replacements, in which we find Easy Company, September 13th, 1944, in Old Bourne, England, relaxing around the dartboard in the pub. Many of our old favourites are there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we also notice some new faces. Replacement, silent, but desperate to mingle in. There's a great scene where you, Garnier, hand out a simple piece of advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a scene that screams about the singular sense of fraternity that the original men of Easy Company experienced. One that was forged into Kaur from running up and down Karahi and then jumping into Normandy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was almost impenetrable. Even copious amounts of alcohol couldn't bridge the gap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both originals and replacements then jump into the Son Che Forest, northwest of the town of Son. And I'm fascinated, Frank, by the incredible jump landing scenes in Band of Brothers. How do you shoot these scenes? This in particular was an incredibly peaceful jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Operation Market Garden initially seems to go well, almost too well as we find out, but the beautiful Eindhoven Liberation Seeds, huge set pieces, city-wide celebration set pieces, shot I believe on a replica Eindhoven set built in Hatfield, southern England. Take us there, what would they like to film?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The multi cameras. It's agonizing watching you run house to house. No matter how many times I watch that episode, it turns a knot of anxiety in my stomach. How exhausting was it to shoot these scenes? What was your mindset when you were clearing a house?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know what happens next. Easy Company uncover a superior force of elite German soldiers and tanks, and they're forced into retreat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The episode then focuses on the fate of Bull Randleman. Can we talk about Michael Kudlitz for a minute? Because the amazing thing about Kudlitz is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That gent can pull off the cliche of soldier with a cigar hanging out the corner of his mouth, but make it look natural and human because he plays the part with both a swagger and the vulnerability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul Randleman's separation is agonising, but it's also another moment ultimately in which the depth of the brotherhood that lives and breathes at the heart of the series reveals


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scene that is... It is gone, it's surface level banter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that just flows over the deep undercurrents of love that these men felt for each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around the time you filmed this episode, you, Frank John Hughes, the man who played while Bill Garnier performed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can only describe it as a special duty. You're dressed into your finest uniform, looking every bit the 1944 paratrooper with your jump wings and your blouse pants and screaming eagle. And you went to Heathrow Airport to pick up two very special guests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solucing them at VIP arrivals. Yes, the real wild Bill Garnier and Babe Heffron had returned to England. You were there to pick them up, to visit set. And I need to know, what was that experience?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the foreword to Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends, which is Garnier and Heffron's joint written memoir. Word of their presence spread like wildfire, as if Elvis Presley was on the lot. Everyone wanted to see the men themselves, the troopers whose stories we were telling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two of the band of brothers who jumped into hell on earth in order to save the world. Give us a feeling of what it was like when they were walking around, these real men, seeing your imaginary representation of their world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a story about Garnier going up to another actor and just quipping, you've got a short career, you're not gonna make it. But Tom Hanks wrote that the fact Garnier had lost his leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he walked around the actors was a living reminder that the war was not glamorous, but the men of Easy Company were and still are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These guys, the real Garnet, the real Heffron, they live life to the full. I mean, HBO gave them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An open tab and 24 hour limo services when they were on set and my lord, they used it and then some, right? They held court every night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bill Garnier died in March 2014, age 90. The two of you had lived a lot of life together. I mean, you went to Vegas with him. You told me that he never lost, that he was the luckiest man you ever encountered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His lumps, meaning Operation Market Garden, his lumps passed on. That was how he thought about his life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Band of Brothers producer, Eric Jenderson, told us a story that was, that was honestly haunting to hear. He said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Band of Brothers. It's become a cultural phenomenon. It is so much bigger now than it was even when it first came out. How do you understand that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Frank John Hughes, thank you for honoring the memory of the great, wild Bill Garnier. And thank you for sharing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frank John Hughes, I mean this sincerely, you just made my day. Next up, episode 5, Crossroads, which contains one of the most iconic lines of this entire series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we will have the story behind those words from supervising producer and lead writer, the Man Who Pen Crossroads, Eric Jendresen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So make sure to subscribe to HBO's official Band of Brothers podcast wherever you get your podcasts. And please rate, review and share. And a reminder, as if you needed one, that you can watch replacements and all of Band of Brothers on HBO Max right now. Until next time. Hooray!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it on them? Like a gas station chair? Yea, but what does that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read an article about paratroopers in Life magazine. Talked about the training, how hard it was. Said if you wanted to make it as a paratrooper, you had to be the best. I wanted to fight with the best, sir.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How's a guy do that? How could anyone really hope to gain the respect of the toughest, most professional, most dedicated sons of bitches in the entire ETO?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh? See, if you ask me, a guy would have to march off to Berlin and come back when Hitler's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BDE. You know what that means. Big Dwayne energy. You can see the new commercial on Zoa's Instagram or YouTube channels. You have just got to check this out. They really went there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naked grandma boys. Oh, you got a naked gr- Ders has- Okay, for everybody listening, Ders just took a bite of a beef stick and Adam has a naked grandma hat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, promoting fear or something. That movie rocked. That movie rocks. It does, it does rule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're wearing a lot of cross colors. Pretty funky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bunch is weird. To call yourself a bunch is, cause what else, what other bunches are there besides Brady Bunch? Banana Bunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Funky crew? Funky squad? Yeah, oh, funky squad. Funky unit? Funky boys? Funky boys? Well, funky boys would've been a better, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about a mood or anything, it's like straight down to business. That's like gambling as a job slash addiction. It's not about the mood, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only want to be here for 20 minutes. If I can't win in 20 minutes, here's all my money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can pry it off my cold dead arm, you can have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like really like drunk dialing someone not FaceTime just to like, to tell them how much you love them, I feel like that doesn't happen anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish we did that more. Let's go drunk live on Instagram a whole bunch. Yeah, go for it. Cancelled! I would love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, holy shit. Are you guys bummed that a couple of weeks ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you bugged on that? Did he? Yeaah. Did he? About 96. The guy who invented Popdarts passed away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta try it. Yeah, I gotta try apple pie, banana cream pie, apple jacks, peanut butter, none of them are good by the way, they're all bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, you don't even know the Hotpockets I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Hot Ones Hotpockets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a minute where I was, I was smashing on them. And if you didn't heat them up all the way, the cheese was just one, like, little couple nerds in it. It was wild, dude. Couple nerds. You know nerds. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to give a, okay, go ahead, unless you're not done. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, wait. I wanna give a special shout out to Frosted Wild Berry Pop Tarts. Remember they were purple with the little blue swirls on them? Those shits changed the game. I didn't like how they tasted, but the aesthetic of that Pop Tart was beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would wear it as a purse to school. It was really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people buy rolexes, some people buy bop darts, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to This Is Important, a production of iHeartRadio, the show where we only talk about what's obviously most crucially integral to the fabric of our very nature. Today we talk about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we go. Start your engines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cumshot. This dude is like, who has the biggest cumshot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I'm a fit. We call Adam the zoa constrictor. This guy, he'll squeeze one right down the throat. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam, you look like a cool, like, magician doing that. And for viewers just listening, he's holding his hand out like a fucking sorcerer, like a warlock or something. Yeah, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this like Ratatouille situation? Like the mouse or whatever it was can tell you what you're doing, but you're the steady hand? See, I wish that it was a Ratatouille situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause that could be a sloppy dog. Okay, Blake is, Blake's over there dying being like, what if, uh, I got shot in the dick and he had to suck the bullet out? So, that would be kinda weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But is there like an instruction manual or are we winging it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like maybe the only- There's gotta be an instruction manual. That's what I meant by the Ratatouille. We're like, it's instructing, but we're doing the actual, uh, physical work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, so he's trying to pick up Blake's humongous dick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stupid. Sorry, I keep, I keep beating everyone to their own punchlines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like these movies, by the way, where this is the scenario. Uhm, or even like, Last Crusade, where like, the old dude's out there, and he knows he's taught him everything he needs to know to get through to the chalice, to the cup. Okay. But he's like, Jehovah starts with an eye! Or whatever the fuck it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that, but I heard there is like a disclaimer at the beginning or the end, but I want to see it. I heard it's good. They're like, it's, everyone I know who's seen it is like, it'll fuck you up. And I'm like, dude, I love that. That's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I do feel like it was kinda Christian too. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just come on, come on out. I do like seeing these people who are leaning into it just to see what happens and then like it kind of takes off for them and then they just go full bore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how it happens. Gotta take it. And what if I got rebaptized or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. He's dunking the baby into like the little pool, the little, I don't know what you call it. It's like a bird bath essentially of holy water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they call it though. But it like, the baby slips out and just the face go, you hear it go like a doonk, and it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do like that actor though. He was good in that, uh, Denzel Washington movie where like everything took place four days ago. What the fuck was that called? Deja Vu? Ohhhhh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's hot as hell. Yeaah, he's definitely got a good look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the casting process? Who else was up for it? God, I wonder who was up for it and like is stoked they didn't get it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who else was up for it? It had, cause that's a big movie. That's a big casting call, but are you like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? Now our producers are trying to say Jim Cavie's a little big QAnon guy. We're talking acting chops. We're talking hotness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, what I don't like about where this discussion's going is that, for sure he's done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess we did forget to mention that, but it just kind of felt right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'll get these pods off, man. Yeah. I like to say, I like to snap one off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We might have to get back on here and go, so yeah, don't drink four, uh, consecutive cans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is damp January? Cause you've been drinking a lot. That's where you're still drinking a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The big one, the fucking mailman's like, Hey, how's it going? Good, good. Uh, when is your birthday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] January 12th. Okay, come in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you going to call me? So, so you're Zach Zodiac. All right. Works for us. That's cool. That's pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This murderer is important, and when he's not working, he's a holic. Is this it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been known to hud hud hike a few babies by accident, just in the, you know, throws of passion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the name, Cletus? What's the name of the, uh, the like little robot? Yeah. Oh, the robot? Yeah, Cletus the fox. Cletus Devine. We were named after a CGI football robot, son. Yup. That would be super sick. Um, didn't somebody in the Super Bowl have a baby on the day of the Super Bowl? It's a boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like off, he had to go. And the baby's name I believe is Champion? Champion? Did they win? I think it, I think it was when LA won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm making all this up and I think it was when LA won and a dude had to peace out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the child's name is Champion, and I just imagine our producers just diving into looking for this fact, and not looking at their phones at something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's him. Football player, child, champion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay, so some- I said one thing factual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you could just be like, what are you, Donatello's weapon of choice? You fucking idiot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't you go sit on the hood of a Mercedes, you bitch? Like a, like a Christmas bow? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then someone goes, Hey dude, don't knock bow. And then like, well, that's pretty funny actually. I guess you knock an arrow. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's when Adam rolls his sleeve up and shows him the tattoo of an arrow and he goes, I have always been here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, which sucks. Or when I like, uh, show it to my kids, graduation, and like fall off stage trying to like high five them and everyone's like, you know, he was on workaholics and somebody goes more like alcohol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a huge one! 57. Uhm, when is your birthday, Blake? What month? March. Hello. Oh, that's a pretty good name for a kid. Why don't you march off that fucking cliff, bitch? Oh, fuck! Leave him alone!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't hear about it, so I don't think so. Cause Kyle wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe he was, he's uh. Isaac goes, yes, did we sent you an invite? No, you didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never got it. You know, Isaac's damp. Isaac, Isaac, do you know why I know I never got the invite? How's that? Because I would've gone, because it's like the best fucking party of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not hated, but like, I'm peeved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little peeved because a lot goes on on those weekends. If you're not invited to a party or nominated, you're a true loser. You're drinking blood by yourself. You know? You want to be out there peeling one off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like, and I got an invite to an apple party because of Monarch and I was like, yeah, I don't know. I'm not like, I'm not going to go to any parties, but I probably would have been like, well damn I did the dry cleaning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this, you were right, it was the Apple Plus party. Okay, so I wasn't invited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but I think there's been years- there's been years when I was like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inactive or whatever, why I didn't get an invite. And then this year, I guess, you know, having the number one show on Apple frickin' TV. You're on a show, you're on a show. Yeah, picked up for season two, right? Has it been? I don't know. I don't know! I don't know!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they made a joke of it. I did, I did watch it like two, a day or two after. Or maybe I watched half of it that night. Uhm, but I did see the sunny guys being like, kind of weird. And by the way, it is kind of weird. Like I guess they can joke about it, but at the same time like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're not nominated, who's nominated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Evan Moss guy or whatever his name is makes me laugh very hard, but it is not a comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually feel like The Bear is so good at drama and when it tries to do comedy it kind of is like, huh? It like comes to a screeching halt for me. Where I'm like, you guys just broke the tone or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it comes down to half hour, hour long, right? Like that's the genesis of this all. Okay, that's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were nominated for stunts against us, I believe. And they, we both lost to like... Super ninjas.
