[Assistant] Before he'll have become like the CEO of the corporation and, and then he'll get around all the inheritance stuff anyway, you know what I mean? It's not like, it's not like he's, it's not like Jeff Bezos like the moment before he dies is gonna liquidate everything and then be like, here you go Timmy!

[Assistant] This is all I was worth. It's about 3 trillion. The lawyers will just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got in trouble this one time at school, okay, and I, I, at this point I'd gotten sick of getting in trouble, alright, because I felt like I was being like, like profiled in a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not racially. It was, it was more like I had a reputation for being a disruptive member of the class. So I got kicked out of class a lot and, and it, it seemed like off the back of nothing sometimes, you know, it was almost like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Okay. So if you were kicked out and then the patrolling teacher caught you being kicked out, you got in even more trouble. So I got kicked out of class a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at some point in my school career, I decided that I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, being, uh, unlawfully kicked out of, uh, out of class. And then so I got kicked out of class by this one teacher and he's like, okay, I'm kicking you out because you're being disrupted. But also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Becoming a man, uh, a man who can stand up for himself. And then, do you know what's weird though? The next day I went to school and that teacher didn't kick me out of class, didn't say a word to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't even let on like it happened. So I think I stripped him of his, of his power by not going to the detention or refusing to go to the detention. And I think it got to the point where he was just like, I can't do anything with this guy. Like he, he's actually got me over a barrel here. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my power is that people do what I say and if somebody doesn't do what I say, I'm without power. So I, I effectively neutered him for the rest of the year. It was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That wasn't like that movie where they have like all the kids gang up and they do a siege on the school and do a rebellion and stuff. It wasn't like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause my classmates were pussies, like I would have been up for it for sure, but nobody else was like behind me or whatever. So I just had to do a one man, I had to do a one man rebellion and it worked. Here's the story of the time it worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't need those weird characters. Why do they have that job? That's creepy and weird and not, not appropriate. I don't think anybody should do that in their job. Like, take great delight in other people's misfortune and handing out punishments and stuff. The thing is, he was not a scary guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, one time I got in trouble, uh, for talking again. And, uh, we used to have like these like school, uh, distributed diaries. Like you got one at the start of the year and it had like, you know, your school's logo on it. It wasn't like a fancy school or anything. I think it was just something that they were doing at the time. So it was like, uh, it's kind of like a planner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you were meant to write like what your homework was that night for each day and shit like that. It was like a little like diary, like a little planner sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and so I got in trouble for, for, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This teacher starts going through this. It's just like fucking pentagrams everywhere. And, uh, and like- Is that the same as the Star of David? The- No! No, it's not at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, and there's all these like, there's all these questionable lyrics to songs in there and stuff too. And she just looked fucking mortified. Like she was like, what does all this mean? I was like, what do you mean? I think she thought I was just being like abused and I was like fucking on drugs and everything. Like she actually looked genuinely concerned. I was like, honestly, it's nothing. Like it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a generational issue though too, because you'll have like, I don't think, I don't think people set out to be unemployed as such, you know what I mean? Like a good example is like somewhere like Sheffield that had like a massive steel industry that failed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of your skills existed and stuff, they're not transferable really, uhm, and then, and then it's tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's definitely a larger portion of society that's moved out of the working class through the generations as well, like off the back of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has happened, right? There's families that have, that have, you know, gone up a class in society, if you like, just off the back of previous generations, sort of having some foresight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they always, they always have been really, I mean it's just, it feels more so now because there's just so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More involved, you know, like the sixties were definitely a simpler time, you know, you didn't have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every house has to have like a big flat screen TV. Every house has to have a couple of iPads. Every house, you know, like it was, it was much like the scale was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not even allowed to walk your dog anymore now. Like, that doesn't count as your one exercise. You have to just let them outside your front porch to do their doo-doos. What do you mean? You're not allowed to walk your dog. One of the, a mayor in Italy said, you're not, uh, Will Smith from I Am Legend, uhm, go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, didn't it start as an animal virus? Like, I'm sure they can. Sure they must be able to get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life, life has not changed very much for me. I feel like I've just been living this way for like the best part of a decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck's sake. Well, listen, on that bombshell, I hope you enjoyed the Triforce podcast this week. It was a real one. Uhm, and I hope that you're staying safe and quarantined until further notice. And, and stay frosty and go fuck yourself as well. Thanks everyone. Love you. Bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but you hear those stories about, like, uh, waiters and stuff who are, like, annoyed with you because, you know, you complain about something, and they, like, you know, take your ham sandwich in the back room and just rub it all over their balls and stuff, or whatever, you know, I'm not, somebody told me this happens, like, I've never...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's exactly like you think it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I met a guy at the airport a couple of weeks ago who came up to me and, uh, he did that, like, eye lock thing, so you're like, okay, I know this guy recognized me or whatever, he came up to me, he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you put that on your Tinder profile and did a yes, and then somebody came back to you and they're like, let's go surfing, and you'd never done it before, and you had to do a push-up, do you think you'd be able to pull off the date or no? The push-up or the surfing? It's a big part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you guys see that streamer that was using uhm, kinda like, you know, the Face app, but it was, it was like, she was using it to stream, and it glitched out for like a split second, and she looked nothing like who she was broadcasting as, like on stream? Did you see this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think like the younger you are, the more you're up for like cheating at games and stuff. I remember I used to like doing that, but now, I'm like no way I would never cheat at a game or whatever. I want to play it on the hardest mode possible and get annoyed and blame the game and blame the developers and not myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so what else is happening this weekend that you're especially proud of that you would like to big up for the next 15 minutes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about you to me, Lewis? If you saw me, picture the scene, okay? You get home, it's late at night, there's nobody home, the lights are off, but hang on, you look upstairs,


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, welcome back. Uh, P- bonus podcast, because P- P-Flex wasn't supposed to be here. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen movies where people get quarantined in those warehouses full of beds and it looks like some sort of slave centre and there's just, you know, you can see it. I could see it happening. And there's like mums with crying babies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People with soup ladles, it's big, big earns, giving out, giving out soup to dirty faced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's, it's, it's, the reaction is both at the same time overwhelming and also positive. Lots, lots of people, lots of lives have been saved by the coronavirus who would have otherwise have gotten the flu. I read somewhere that 50,000 people who would have otherwise died of flu didn't die of the, didn't die of flu because of the coronavirus protections. So that's pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People were, well someone said that it was like gonna run out, so it's been mental.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird, isn't it? How many people stop to pile petrol? Yea, or food, but instead of just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Garbage. It's like a kid drew this. Do you think people will be like undoing cigarettes to like use the cigarette paper as toilet paper? Is that where we're going to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Positive message. Some of them have a built in dryer in the toilet. It's got a flashlight built in there and stuff. So they, they dry you. I think it's quite a long process. It's quite a clean, everyone's been encouraged to wash their hands, but we should be encouraging to wash their asses too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says here that people, you should pat yourself dry with toilet paper. So how much toilet paper do you think that uses anyway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like one pack of 12 rolls of toilet paper will last me quite a while. Whereas petrol, I feel like, petrol is one of those things that you just, you don't want to have loads of gallons of petrol like stacked up in your garage. No. And you don't particularly want like, you get more petrol when you run out of petrol, right? Yea. With toilet paper, I always seem to have a few rolls somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's a more sensible thing to stop pile? Like, for coronavirus? I guess like- Paracetamol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is it. I said to Steve this morning, cause Steve was coming in. He's, he's like, he said he was on the train this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone coughed, so a girl I know was wearing a mask on the train, uh, cause she had a cold, right? Cause you're wearing masks not to, to spread disease, not to, you know, if you've got like something, masks are not to keep you safe, they're to keep other people from getting what you've got, right? And so some guy saw her wearing a mask and like literally just coughed in her face. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so what happened, uhm, oh, it's just, I agree with you, Pete Blacks, on the train, on the tube, I always avoid touching those poles, but sometimes I do it, uhm, and it's all clammy and warm as if someone's just let go of it ten seconds ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're worried about, you know, the environment, but all of our stuff's teeming with germs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should do that, we should change public transport over to like, uhm, everyone is their own, in their own big Orby or whatever. It's just like, the tube is just like, a pipe filled with Orbys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you just push yourself into the orb mess.

[Assistant] You went on your phone, and it was like, Paul McCartney enjoyed his visit to Jersey,

[Assistant] Do you reckon it's just your brain getting all jumbled up? Like, I always think of sleep as like tidying up your brain, like filing stuff into boxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zero for every hotel stay. I have to, right? It's terrible. I sleep far better in hotels than anywhere else. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting to get you out of the house and talk about it to us. I'm interested in hearing about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you get, were you heckling? No, we weren't heckling, but I didn't laugh once. Like, did you get heckled by them saying, oh, it's baldy in the front row? No, I was waiting for that. I was waiting for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we should go to a, on a cultural trip to the Stagenhound and get absolutely pissed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's the same thing with hypnotism. If you don't want to be hypnotised, you can't. It's not like some magical power where people can suddenly take control of you. You have to believe in it and want to do it and it has to come from a place where you trust that it will have power.

[Assistant] Mark, Jeff Bezos is a weird looking dude. He is a weird looking dude. If they had goatees, they would be even worse though. True. Wouldn't they? Uhm, shit man. Well look, I think that what you're saying sounds like you already do do some healthy things like breathing and some of them do work on you and so maybe

[Assistant] Let me look them up now, cause I'm more, they're more my age now.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you just say, oh, for me, that's like, cause I'm always like, I feel like I'm always lifted a little bit. Like a higher, like, I don't know. Do you know what I mean? It's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was there one about ghosts? Did you watch ghosts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but that would be the thing, we'd go and play Southwark battles with him, and he'd be like, oh yea, so you set this up here, you do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people are very competitive, um, and that's okay because that's part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, so that's not, that's insane. But so, but for example, like different people are, there is to some extent a problem with, I've been playing a bit of Treasure Island lately in the office with a couple of people. Treasure Island is a really good board game, I recommend you pick it up. It comes with some pens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the idea is that one of you is Long John Silver and plants the treasure somewhere on the island. You mark it on your own little tiny map. And then everyone else has to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically you give them all these quite complicated clues about where it is and then they have to draw either on their own little maps if they've got private information or on the big map in the middle with like these big pens. So I got some chalk markers and so by the end of it, it's just a complete mess of like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comes with a pair of compasses to draw circles. Right. It's got like, it's just scribbles and everywhere. And you realize like the treasure is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Capsule is very hard game. It's a great game, it's a great game. It's very, very, it quickly goes to incredibly, you can be a real high level. Oh, you can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that, I think that there's so many really interesting and really cool board games. So this is something I've been really getting into lately, board games is, um, I've been, I've been playing, cause obviously when Sips we came down, we played Terraforming Mars, which was really fun. I recently been playing a game called Wingspan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, guys, I think like, is it, apart from Monopoly, which is obviously classically famous, famous for being made by a woman. No it wasn't. Monopoly was, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, it's really quick and easy to learn and it's really fun. And the idea is that you, um, sort of have to design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like 200, so every game is like very, very different. And, and there's a virtual tabletop sim, which I looked at. So I thought we might, we might, cause we've been trying to play like a strategy games and armature admirals this year, but there's nothing good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're, we're thinking about doing some tabletop games and Wingspan's really, really cool. And also I've been playing Gloomhaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play some of these interesting things that I haven't played before. I'm going to look at Mysterium this week, which is apparently quite a famous board game that I've ever played. But my parents wanted to play Carcassonne when I went over there at Christmas because my mom's been playing it and she's bought all the extra bits. This is about 10 expansions right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it would be a very boring film if everybody just stayed at home because somebody said there are going to be loads of films about the coronavirus that come out of this and I'm thinking they'd be incredibly dull because the main character goes home


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And stays home for six weeks minimum. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they need a plague, you need a good, a good plague, not this one, which is tragic, but it's not exciting. What kind of plague do we need? What kind of plague are we talking about here? Did you watch the film Outbreak?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The script isn't very good, but Dustin Hoffman knows how to deal with a bad script. What you do is, you say all the lines very quickly, and with passion, and that's how you do it. And it's like, uh, so someone will say, Sam, it's like Morgan Freeman will say, Sam, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you think about it, you can't go into that town. I've already been there, god damn it, I've been in that town, you can't tell me what to do, we've been friends for a long time, and if you try to stop me, by god I'm gonna do it anyway. It's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's because it makes it look like you've forgotten your lines. That's the first thing I think. When an actor has a long pause in a play, I've been to a few plays, when there's a big pause, you think, oh god, they've forgotten their lines. But then they come back and you're like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hasn't forgotten his lines. He's just pausing. But it's a little jarring. I don't think everyone thinks that about movies though. No, movies no. Cause they would say, cut, cut, cut. And he'd say, what? I was pausing for dramatic effect. And they'd go, no Dustin, just say it fast, get the lines done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, catch the illness because they've got terrible, uh, sharps discipline. Like Kevin Spacey just walks too far, his cord catches on something and it rips his suit and he catches the virus and doesn't tell anyone, which I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty terrible. And then René Rousseau is doing something with a, with a, a needle and stabs herself in the hand. I was like, these guys are clowns. So that's the drama, is that they're just not very good. And also people are bleeding out of the eyes and the mouths and going like, ehhh. So there's drama there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than the coronavirus, which is not as dramatic, but because it's real life, it's scarier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna, I wanna close up action shot of the germs, going off his, like a CGI, cut to extreme zoom of the germs going, ooooh, and like scuttling into his body, and the blood cells going, nooo, nooo, and the white blood cells, we can't hold them back, haaah, and then cut back to real life. That would be more dramatic, they need to dramatise what's happening inside the body, while we're just sat at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very touching movie. I cried several times during it and I thought it handled the subject very well. And of course it has one of the biggest tearjerker moments. I'm not going to spoil it for anybody that hasn't seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, let me think. No, because we found a new, a new thing. First of all, Grayson Perry's Art Club. We watched that last night. That was very good. What the fuck are you talking about? Right. What do you mean, what the fuck am I talking about? It's a TV show, you idiot. Grayson Perry's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does drag occasionally, but he's a potter, that's his main art form. He's a potter? Yeah, he's famous for his pots. And he's incredible, like honestly, he made joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's a genuinely amazing artist, and he's doing this show where he's reaching out to people at home and saying, with the spare time you've got, get back into making art and do some paintings. For someone who did paintings not that long ago, Lulu, I'm a little surprised that you're so pfffoo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's like a show made under lockdown and he's encouraging people to make art and then send him pictures of it and he sort of decides, it's not like a contest, like, I'm sorry, you're going home this week, Sam. Bum, bum, bum. You know, it's not like that. It's more like he just talks about art, he makes some art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looks at, uh, art and sort of chats to other artists on, on sort of, uh, zoom or whatever and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talks about what they're working on and all that kind of stuff. It's good. It's really good. Very relaxing show. I recommend it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, we've been watching Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA, which has very, very quickly become one of the household's favourite shows. My kids love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, uh, you could play a real bingo with it, like, things that you're looking out for. Number one, like you said, very old mom and pop stuff, that's a bingo. Italian food made wrong, that's a bingo. Reheating frozen stuff, like the restaurant-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've- you stopped caring! That's another thing he says all the time. If they say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Losing faith in their staff to deliver the food on time. And panicking. Obviously once you start losing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tragic. And this is like, this restaurant's been here for 30 years. My mum has asked me to run it, and I don't know what I'm doing. But they had a two-part of the other night from a restaurant called Manja Manja. And they only microwave stuff. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was all microwaved. Their head chef was not a chef. He didn't even know how to make pasta. Gordon Ramsay says to him, tell the chef right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want pasta. Here's the ingredients. He gives the list of ingredients to the waitress and sends her back there and he can't make it. He makes this awful stodgy thing. Uh, it's incredible. And then it turns out he's on drugs and they have to fire him and oh, it's, it's magic. It's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's exactly it. I honestly think that a lot of these people that think, I like food, I'll open a restaurant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their menu stays the same for a very long time and it's terrible from the start. And they're like, it's what our customers like. It's like, yeah, but you have no customers. So you're appealing to a very small group of people who have no taste buds and you're not appealing to other people who can taste food and think this sucks and never come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that, that would be part of your prep, cause once you've made it, you get your pasta cutter, you cut the flour into pasta, and then you just hang it to dry. It's fresh pasta, or you can put it in the fridge at that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but what you don't do is just buy in fucking frozen meatballs and defrost them in a microwave, which is what they were doing. Cause he, they, they, he was like, why don't you make your meatballs fresh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the chef, Trevor, says, well, last time I made them, they kind of fell apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just stopped making them. I was like, that's a terrible attitude for a head chef. Just go, ah, that's too difficult. You know what I mean? He needs to figure out how to make fucking meatballs. You're an Italian restaurant. You don't buy in frozen meatballs. And the owner was like, I thought that was how it was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna make mistakes, yeaah. I mean I think that the whole point of cooking is that you need to do it consistently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you don't have to cook every single day if you, if you have a busy lifestyle or whatever, but you've certainly got to, when it comes to cooking, you have to, you have to just practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it took me a long time to know how certain things cooked, how much time, know when they were cooked just from looking at them, knowing how to taste things and adjust it. What does this need? It's just practice. Like, I don't know why people are so intimidated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, even with the sauce, she's like, I don't like the texture. And the funny thing is this, Mrs. F is like, why doesn't she eat her vegetables? Mrs. F is just as fucking bad when it comes to saying, oh, I don't like the texture. So I was like, I wonder where she got it from. She's probably listening to this one too, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when I, when I, when I was a kid, I used to tell people that I have a second stomach for dessert. There's always room for ice cream. I would say it very seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and, and my kids do the same thing. They're like, well, we've still got our dessert stomachs, so we get-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some recipes are shit though. Once you've cracked it and you can do recipes, yes of course they are, but you gotta figure out which ones are good and which ones are bad. Luckily online now there's a rating system, very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a disaster. It was one of the worst meals we've ever cooked. Mrs. F made it. And she was like, don't look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an American recipe. They expect, they expect less, no offence America, but your food fucking sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, bear in mind, we are coded to think, ooh, high fat, good, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they've got, they've also got a lot of, um, central and South American stuff. Like, if you think about the further south you go, like, I actually really like the fact that America absorbs food from all over the place. That's something that we didn't do until fairly recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the most successful restaurants in the world are the ones with the smallest menus.

[Assistant] How is that lesson not filtered down? The odd thing is, like, even if you go to a really good Chinese restaurant or a really good Indian restaurant,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The menu's still gonna be pretty fucking big. But I think the reason for that is a lot of that food is just, I mean, if you think about Chinese cooking, a lot of it is cooked right then and there in a wok, right? So it just depends what spices or whatever you put in. And the same with Indian cooking. It's not like, okay, this one's gonna require four hours of prep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's not that much difference between them all. No. The different, different meat, different sauce base, is it tomato, is it coconut, does it have a lot of onions in, does it have peppers in, so it's like, alright, they want a curry, cool, bam, we've got this Bam Bam Bosch Curry Mate. We should do it. I mean, there's this guy I know. We shouldn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's our angle, here's our angle. There are three dishes, because it's the Triforce restaurant. There are three dishes. We each get to prepare our dish and then we sell them. So it's like, what would your dish be, Sips? Special K with milk. Yours, Lewis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you mean a slab of raw meat? I mean, it's just to counteract your guys' vegetarian agenda, I'm gonna serve a slab of raw meat. And I'll cook it however you want it, right then and there, as long as it involves frying it or grilling it. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Have you, have you seen, uh, Parks and Rec?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So there's an episode in there where, uh, Rob Lowe's character cooks this ridiculous burger that's all- Ron Swanson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, complicated and it's got, it's all vegetarian, it's made with this and the other, and Ron just buys a big pack of minced beef.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just, just BAM! Puts it in a burger, grills it, puts it in a bun. Here you go. And everyone's like, this is better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm thinking, of course it is, because that's what you want from a burger, is a delicious, cooked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a hundred percent meat. That'll be me. And you guys can do whatever else you want to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was trying to explain to my youngest why it's more expensive to buy a sandwich than it is to buy all this stuff to make many sandwiches. And I think most people think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need this now, I just need the sandwich now because I'm at work and I need a sandwich so I'll go buy that sandwich. And I was trying to say to a look, if you bought every day one sandwich, one bag of crisps and a drink, let's say even if it's a meal deal and it's like four pounds, let's just imagine it's four quid for that, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could buy a loaf of bread, mayonnaise, ham,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know people that order food in all the fucking time, like lunch and dinner they're ordering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we, we, we have our food shop come on on Tuesday. So normally by Monday we've run out and we're down to the bare bones. Cause we order just what we need for the week, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know what, you know what's weird? I was walking the dog this morning. This is a two-part story because it's weird in both ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had about 12 Costco boxes that had been crushed, ready for recycling. And there must have been a hundred, hundred and twenty bottles, empty plastic bottles of water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've lived here for a long time and I know that the people that have done this have lived there for a long time because there's not much movement at that end of the road. Like people don't move out very often. They're the people that have been there since we moved in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the other thing that happened. Uh, let my dog off the lead. She, we, we've, she's been, we've been letting her off the lead for, for months now. She's cool with it. She's playing around on the grass. Well, already? How old's your dog? She's like eight months old. Fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They grow up so fast, eh? Yeah, I know, they really do. And so she's running around enjoying herself sniffing stuff. She does a wee, you know, she's hanging out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I saw her running and there's like a little ridge and once they go down the ridge they're like on the path around the park and I see her go down the ridge and I'm calling her and suddenly I see her running over the bridge and I was like what the fuck is she doing? I was like oh my god. Ben. Like she's done this before, sometimes she just goes fuck it, she just goes home. So I got home, I knew where she was and there she was scratching the door and I was like what the fuck are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stuff about it was more about the launch and all the stuff around it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's a lot, there's a huge weight of expectation, not just from me, because I'm really looking forward to XCOM 3, because I played so much XCOM 2, I know you guys did, we've all played a lot of XCOM games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's such huge titles that I think they're thinking, we can't just dump out the same thing again after all this time. We've got to add new stuff, new ideas and you know, a new enemy and all the rest of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also really like the taking your turn and then they take their turn and then a couple of your guys and I love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there are abilities that like bump people up the order, cause you're like, I've gotta lick this guy this turn with Licky Kicky Guy. Yeah, no, it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do it, it's not that difficult, but you do need a machine to cut it, that's the thing. But it's just a crank thing, you just lock it onto the side of a table and you run it through and you just crank it and it comes out beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a classic, isn't it? Somehow, like every episode I've seen of that across, I guess what must be multiple seasons, cause they just show reruns of it on TV or whatever. Yes. It's always some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ma and Pa restaurant in New Jersey, okay, that sells, that, that, that does like Italian food or, uh, you know, you know, pasta and whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it always looks good. And there's always like these old people that work there, like, like their uncles or like just these weird old guys that look like they're.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. There's always, there's always some old ass chicken in the fridge. He always like, what the fuck is this? It's like, oh it's a chicken. Smell that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if you're in London or whatever, there's like certain parts of the city where there's really great restaurants or, you know, like they'll be like a, they'll just be like a really popular restaurant by like a really like acclaimed chef that's in the middle of like somewhere exciting or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like all these places on Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares USA or whatever, like these mom and pop places are just like out in the sticks, like they're off like, you know, they, you have to like take like the exit off the highway and it's just there and like nothing else is around it and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just in the, and I think that that has a lot to do with everything. You know what I mean? Like I, I think they just, there's, there's nobody really around them to give them any like real like competition or anything. Yeah, that's definitely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just become super complacent and I don't think they really get it in the first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you have to like, you have to make it from scratch and then you have to season it and sauce it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If all you're doing all day is cooking stuff, you'll be able to do that no problem, I would've thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it's just ready to go. Like Flack said, there's a lot of prep. Like say the restaurant opens at five, they're in there at like noon preparing stuff and keeping it warm and ready to go so that they can plate up dishes, right? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, adding salt to stuff, you have to like add a pinch of salt and then taste it and then add. Before you know it, you've eaten the whole thing. You're like, ah, just a little, just a little taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can season them after, right? So like if a, if a, if a vegetable that comes out of the steamer and it's really crunchy, um, you can then just like put it in like a frying pan with like some butter and stuff for like just, you know, even just a hot minute. What don't they like about the crunch? Is it the effort?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the problem is that they like Maltesers. So, and like, you can't just have that on tap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've got like, they've got a plate in front of them and it's got like mashed potatoes and maybe like some broccoli, uh, but then maybe they had like, you know, like mozzarella bites or something like that, right? So they've eaten all the mozzarella bites cause those are good, you know, and then they leave like the mashed potato and the broccoli, but everybody else has just started eating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they do this thing where they're just like talking all the time and like delaying and time wasting up to the point where they can say, you know, I'm a bit full. I don't think I can finish my, my dinner sort of thing, but you know, it's coming. So you're constantly like, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, you need to eat. Eat. And you spend the whole time just saying like, come on, eat. And then they're like, no, no, they, they, they just not having it. They, they just won't do it sort of thing. And then, um, and then after they're done, they're full. They're like, could I have some ice cream now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? I thought you were full. And then you give them a bowl of ice cream, uh, cause they asked for it. And, and that's fucking like, there's like sparks flying off the inside of the bowl. It's devoured in like a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's an interesting thing though, isn't it? Cause like I can eat a big meal and be really full, but like sometimes I'll still want like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like one after eight or something, you know, just like, just something sweet, just to take the edge off. Like not even like a big piece of cake or anything, just like, just something small, you know, like a little bonbon or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Were they invented in America?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mean putting like an American uhm, like twist on it, I mean like, like stuff that was, I'm just trying to think off the top of my head and most of the stuff that comes to mind that I think would have come directly from America and nowhere else before that is kinda like fast food or you know like some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean the thing is, like, a long time ago, stuff that we really take for granted nowadays, seasoning and all that kind of stuff,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were just boiling, like, any food you could get and eating it like that. Pretty much. Like, there's nothing else to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why, that's why, like we've, we've, uh, I'm sure I've talked about gall bladders in the past, but we don't, we just don't need them anymore because it's, they're just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The the point of them was what flex just saying like back a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you might have eaten meat like once a year if you were lucky enough to fucking kill something big enough that was, you know, a high source of fat. And otherwise you were just like foraging berries and shit like that for the rest of the time. You know what I mean? And then to break that down, your stomach's not used to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been like bypassed now, like most of our stomachs produce enough bile now to just deal with the insane amount of fat that's entering us sort of thing. Speak for yourself. Well, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Native American. Yeah, I suppose there's, there'll be some, some like, some influence from that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know, it's weird to think like, I think a lot of the food that we sort of associate with being American had definitely came after the industrial revolution and like processed foods and stuff like that, right? It's not like, there's no like, it's not like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Americans wouldn't have an equivalent of like the Cornish pasty or something like that, I don't think. You know what I mean? Or maybe they do. I don't know. I don't know enough about it. I just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I had to though, because a lot of that continent is just, uh, like before Europeans came over, there was, you know, like the, like native peoples that lived there or whatever, but most of that continent was colonized by Europeans, so like, I think it's probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll have like signature dishes that like everybody will go there for more or less. And they'll have a couple of people that will want something different. But there's a lot of places that will just have like a very like set menu, you know, like there's restaurants that where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, most people just go there for one reason though, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just want a big mac and some fries, yeaah. Simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The base is kind of the same, but it's just the seasoning, right? So you make one big pot of like this base doll or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a real problem. We need to talk about this. How are you gonna do that? That's fucking easy as hell. Well, I'll be like the toast of the town. How does he do it? Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your secret? Yours is like a salad, right? You'd make a salad. Some sort of salad with like beetroot and like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's the thing, I think nowadays a lot of people don't. I think, uh, home delivery is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that many people do. I think, I think older people probably do, but I don't think your, your 20 somethings now do. I think they just, it's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Easier and cheaper for them to deliveroo or fucking some shit straight to their door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think again though as well, I think it's one, it's, it's kind of a case of one or the other. Like, okay, if you, if you order food in and you're in the habit of doing that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you go out and you're like, okay, I'm going to go buy a loaf of bread and stuff so that I can make a couple of sandwiches, but you're also ordering food in at the same time. A lot of that's that, that food will just spoil, right? Because you're not, you're not using it. Like, I feel like you'd have to either go fully one way or, you know, be very careful because like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even, even worse than not preparing food at home and just getting everything delivered in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is wasting food, right? Like you end up chucking like half a loaf of bread away because you got through half of the other half went moldy by the time you got around to it because you had like 20 takeaways in between or whatever. It's no good, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For, for, for like some context, I don't think like, I don't think this is anything but just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really good. There's nowhere that delivers over here. It's not a thing. It's a small place, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We still have to go to the shop, but we go every day. We don't go like, I know in America or, you know, even in the, even in the UK now, it's like, you know, these, the supermarkets that are sort of like out, out in the sticks that you drive to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you do like a week's worth of shopping or whatever. Uh, you can do that here, but a lot of people don't, I don't think. I might just be speaking for myself, but we go every day. We just buy what we need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For that day or maybe like, maybe like into the next day, like, you know, like milk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sometimes you get like two for one stuff or whatever, but like we, sometimes we don't even bother, like again, because sometimes you get those two for one things and if it's something that, you know, like say it's like salad dressing or something like that, two for one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I never get the second one because it's just like, fuck, we're not gonna go through two bottles of salad dressing in like the shelf life of a bottle. You know what I mean? Like we don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's the other way around though. I think, I think a long time ago it was, it was very much you went every day, like, like because things weren't, uhm, as preserved as they are nowadays as well, right? You had a milk delivery every day. Yeah, freezers and like ice boxes and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the suburbs, they introduced like this, their recycling scheme. This is early on, like this is back like in the late eighties. They introduced like a city-wide recycling scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you had like a blue box that you put out onto your driveway with, you know, newspapers, cardboard, you know, all the, all the typical stuff that you recycle. So like when they'd come around to pick up your garbage, there's another truck coming close behind that was like a recycling truck. Take your blue box, put all the stuff in, take it to this place and sort it out or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but fuck me man, like you walk down the street on, you know, like garbage day or whatever and everybody's garbage would be out. Some of these blue boxes were just like overflowing with like empty cans of like Pepsi and Coke and stuff. You just think, Jesus Christ, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She can get a dog flap for her so she can let herself in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey! Jesus! She could just walk herself! She'd be crazy! She could just walk herself!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I got a funny dog story. I've been, uh, I, I re-installed Fallout 4. I've, okay, I played Fallout 76. I liked it enough. It's still, I don't think it's amazing, but it's, it, it, it's a nice Fallout experience. Like the world is really nice, really detailed and stuff. I like the setting and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, so I started, I reinstalled Fallout 4 with a whole bunch of mods and I'm having a fun time, okay. So the other day I'm out in the wasteland and I got the, you know, dog meat following me around or whatever, uh, and then all of a sudden it's like, dog meat has found something. So I was like, oh shit, what is it? Go check him. Found a fat man. Just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been really back into Fallout recently. I've forgotten how much I love the, the setting and the lore and most of the games like even. Funnily enough 76 was what got me back into it which has such a bad


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, rap and yeah, there's definitely parts of it that aren't great, but I think overall it's actually pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yeah, so with the, with the new, with the Wastelander characters and humans being in it again, it definitely makes it feel more of like a Fallout game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think like even if you just played through the, some of the missions are really good. Some of the holotapes, the voice acting is phenomenal. Like some of them are really good. Some of them are really funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got all the stuff that you'd expect from a Fallout game, all the stuff that you really like from it. You can scrap all the junk, I like doing that. You can build a settlement, uhm, that you can then transport around with you, which is kinda cool. But there's like, there's limits to all this stuff, so it, it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes it feels limiting and not so great. But the actual, like, world is huge. Like, it's much more detailed than 4, which I, cause I played 4, I played 4 a lot, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On and off throughout the years or whatever. And now that I'm playing it after 76, I'm finding like you go into a building and you're like, fuck, there's just nothing in here. Like the buildings are so sparse compared to 76. Like I know it's a big meme to say that's like four times the detail, but it actually is much more detailed. Like there's a lot more stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It must have taken them forever to build like all the locations and stuff. And it's just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think so. And now, it was really janky. It still is a bit janky, the combat and stuff. Like, I don't know what it is more so than Fallout 4, I remember being somewhat janky, but actually going back to it now after 76.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's like, it's amazing. Like it's so smooth, the, the, the, the gameplay, like the, the combat and stuff. In 76, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really weird. The guns are slow and sluggish, but the enemies move very quickly sometimes. Almost like it's like a frame rate issue or something. Like a feral ghoul will jump and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's like, it skips like 25 frames and then he's like right next to you and you're like, what? Like where, you know, and you, the guns are so slow and unresponsive and the hit register isn't great. So it's like, sometimes that's frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't fully ruin the experience, but it's sort of like, it's a negative for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not that, I just, it's just again, you feel limited in what you can do because it is meant to be like a multiplayer game, right? And it has all of the hallmarks of a multiplayer game with like its end game that's grindy. All you're doing is finding like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That 1% better weapon than the one you currently have. You know what I mean? Like it's got all of that stuff in it, which is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think when you get to that point, you're pretty much done with the game or I would be for sure. I don't think I play beyond that. I'd only play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the content, you know, like if every once in a while they're like, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They found a new bolt in Appalachia. Like, okay, cool. Like more content. I'll go and like, you know, explore that. That, that sounds great. But like I wouldn't be in it just for the, for like min maxing the end game. You know what I mean? And like most online multiplayer games become that, right? That's just like a, a mechanic for like those types of games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but honestly though, I honestly think that 76 isn't a terrible game. Like there is a Fallout game in there that's actually quite enjoyable if you play it by yourself and just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play it for what it is, you know, like some of the stories, do the things that you want to do, um, and then, you know what I mean? But yeah, Fallout 4, Fallout 4 wins because you can, you can mod it. Like, I'm not playing vanilla Fallout 4, I've added a bunch of mods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so like, it's, it, it, it, it, I mean Fallout 4 has had its life extended indefinitely because, like Skyrim as well, with, you know, with mods and stuff. With the mods, yeah. Uh, but Fallout 76 will never get that because it's online, right? So, we'll never be able to mod it. It's a shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like a stripped down, uhm, I think it's definitely like a precursor to the next XCOM, right? I love the breach mechanics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I might try that out. It looks good. It looks nice. The graphics and everything. The gameplay look really, really interesting. Like I like the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks really satisfying when you kill something, like, so, I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it felt sometimes in XCOM 2, XCOM 2 is amazing, like you can't fault it for a lot of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the, some of the maps are so big, uh, and it just felt a little bit tedious sometimes having to turn out the turn, move your guys up a lot and stuff. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I think, I think that, I think this sort of like more compact with the breaching and stuff is, it's just, you feel like you're, you're constantly fighting, which is nice actually. There's not, not tons of downtime in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's just some really nice new mechanics like could be really, really neat if they add that to like the next XCOM game. But with the next XCOM game, I hope there's like a lot more customization like in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the base building stuff I really like. I hope they never get rid of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just that, I like the whole sort of like, you get back from a mission and you have a bit of downtime, you get a couple of things built or in motion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then when you were like ultra promoted, you got promoted to like cigar squad and stuff, like just little things like that, you know, like I, I like that kind of stuff. So I hope there's like a lot of that too, but we'll see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think, I think for, for eight quid, you can't go wrong. Honestly, it's great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've talked about all the shit we're doing in the office, right? With like actually giving shit about distancing and being


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's fucking people having a rave, unlike the local bit of green term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stories about dropping kids off at school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I went to Sipsy's, I went to Jersey, weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Urban heat island. That's something we learned in geography, right? It was like that certain cities are much hotter than rural areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, yeah, it's, it's significantly warmer actually because of the heat center than surrounding areas though. But also it's the vegetation is a big thing. Like in central park, you could see a big square on the map, on the heat map where it's like a couple of degrees cooler because the, not the urban heating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's not really a park so much as a series of roads with grass around. Well, then again, they've made an effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was this bit, there was this great bit, right, where this fucking Essex Hardman, who's part of the SAS, who has this lovely, perfectly trimmed, coiffured beard and looks gorgeous, you know, and he's like, when I was on operations, my family sent me a letter, so I fucking burned it. Yeah, yeah, they don't.

[Assistant] It's like roleplay. I understand it. I'll just get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, like, people do that though. They, they quickly conform to their surroundings, you know, and I think that these guys, these SAS guys have trained so many fucking people that any, any lip gets like, you know, slapped out of you pretty quick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, happy birthday to that kid. It's a funny, like, age because, as Sips would sort of explain to me, for the last sort of couple of years, every weekend it's some kid's birthday party. Sometimes multiple. It's constant, yeah. And so it's like this rolling part of your life that I kind of didn't even consider. I guess, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, it's a common thing when you have a kid that they're constantly changing and you're constantly having to learn new things because you're never, you're never prepared for what's going to happen kind of thing. But it's something that isn't like, you know, on the list of things that you expect to have to do, which is go to these parties and you've talked about them a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it, it, it was like, uhm... Lewis got to witness it first hand. You seem tired after the end of the day, Lewis. Well, the best way to describe it I thought was like, go to the gym, okay? It was like something which I, I felt like I sort of had to do, right? But I didn't actually mind it. I thought it was quite, I thought it was okay once I was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I was a bit bored, because you know, I think everyone else was having fun. Uhm, apart from like one or two active dads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that one dad who was in, like, the Scoutmaster as well, you know, he was the guy, he was like, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like an incredibly awesome dad, who- I'll put some context on this. Like, you kind of wish he was your dad when you were like going on scout camp and stuff and, and you know, he's like- Yeah. But his kid's a bit of a wet blanket, right? And he kind of prefers some of the other kids and wishes he was their dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, those are fun. And uhm, so me and Sips are there in the sort of parents area, watching the kids all have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he quickly does dad reflexes and catches the toddler before any injury has occurred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of thing. So it was that for a few hours, they all had pizza and chips, which I think is the standard kid food and maybe some ice cream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were like royalty, okay? So, so there's like two tables of kids, I'd say like maybe


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanna describe this to you so you understand what it was like from my vision, okay? So these poor parents, they're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was heaven, and then they all got a goodie bag, they had a cake, everyone got a massive fucking slice of cake. It was like, everyone got a goodie bag and they all, it was all very like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like traditional weirdly, like almost like it had been this rote thing. It's just like they do this every time they have, you know, they do the exercise or the event or the fun thing and they have the food and then the parents help out and then, you know, they do the cake and everyone gets a goody bag and it feels like if you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're a parent and your kid comes to one of these, you know that there's going to be a time when you have to be the ones being those, you know, like waiters and serving and organise this thing and make sure the kids are having a good time and you can imagine it being incredibly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, those, we didn't do that, Sips did we? No. We just were like, we were keeping our distance. We just had coffee and complained the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the jungle, the jungle gym or whatever it's called isn't like a flippin' heated, it's like a warehouse with trampolines in it and so it's kinda like just freezing cold. Those places exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're not wrong. Uhm, but no, I really enjoyed it. And then we, I don't know, KitSips, your kids are so lucky. You know, I think, uhm, you know, you're such a nice place to live, Jersey. And, uh, it feels like super, super chill as a place. We went around and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went to a toy shop, went to a book shop, made some balloon animals, like did some puzzles. It was really fucking cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I was, cause I was saying like, you know, it's the middle of winter, isn't he hibernating it? Cause I'm sure on Blue Peter they always put the turtles in the fridge for, you know. Yeah, he's gotta be bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then again what they, what they are doing is little, little bit simpler than making complex jokes about Pokemon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know if it's actually a boy? Because it's hard to tell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a boomer, you're a boomer. And you've bought a camper van, okay, and you, Terry, and your son are going camping. Cause you're like, it was like a thing I did, I wanted to expose my son to camping and give him like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get him like wilderness ready. I'm sure he'll love it with, you know, maybe he's been saying, Oh, can we go camping? You know, Billy's dad takes him camping and he's like, you know, he really wants to go. He's, imagine he's not into Fortnite and Minecraft and all that shit. He's into camping. Okay. Um, you go, you go camping. I want you to tell me like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you actually know how to fish? Sure. You could, you could teach, you could teach me and an eight year old how to fish at an actual river. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And catch a fish. It's not hard. I don't, I don't know, I don't know how to do it. We've been doing it since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You say that we understand fishing, like a turtle understands the five things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Oh, well, yeah. Well, sure. Maybe that'll make the weekend go faster. No, it won't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they were like, sold in Marks and Spencers, do you know what I mean? Well, obviously that's a different kind. You could eat Drake and the Mushrooms, go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not magical those ones. But no, if you could like, if, if weed was available in like nice, in, you know, in the same way that there's like weed shops, you know, if mushrooms are available in the same way, you know, people had, people had given them a good go and really knew like what to do. I'd be up for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure I read a story about how mushrooms are like, like constantly changing and there's so many of them that even in like supermarket mushrooms, they discovered like recently a couple of new species, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One in some bananas, yeaah, like loads of people have, have stolen, have stolen, have found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, banana like, like on a fire. You can have a banana on a fire. No. Easy. No. Those things keep for ages, bananas. You take like a bunch with you and they'll be good for the whole week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you break up some, some, canned meat, uh, tin, tin of, tin of t- potted meat, uh, pop that in there, and gosh, when we're on campaign, I took this was taught to me by an old Indian fellow on the trail. Oh, crack it, yes, he had a, one of those pith hats on. He's always an Indian fellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like, make sure, and they do all the work, you know, they do, they make the fire and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just, I just really like the idea, I just want to know how rough you want to camp, Sips. Like if you go- I would say moderately rough. Do you want to be inside of a travelodge? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, if you were a basic human, like just spawned and didn't have no understanding of nothing. Didn't have no understanding of nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably good, fish probably love it. They probably eat, like, it probably helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the tube and the tube ejects his shit into outer space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of this stuff, as someone who's on the inside, I could see how easily it would all be faked. And certainly the Hollywood edit, and certainly scripted in a sense, like, you know, you could see that so many of these modern shows that are ostensibly about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, surviving or being in the wilderness, they literally legally are so, have to be so careful with these people that they can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's not like they're not, they can't just sign a waiver and then you can torture them kind of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything has a tinge of danger to it and you have to be careful. I mean, this guy, I've just looked this up. So it's this guy who was doing bungee jump rehearsal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, a bungee jump doesn't sound that bad, but you know, they are dangerous. And, and, you know, what happened was obviously like it wasn't tied on properly and he, and he, and he died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, that stuff must happen all the fucking time. I'm sure people die in the name of entertainment doing these dangerous things all the time, like helicopter crashes happen. And these types of things are accidents. And, and I guess because of the nature of what you're doing, you have to be really super careful, but you know, look at like, you know, people have look at fucking, um, what's his name? Got shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in Japan, I mean Japan used to have this reputation for these kind of, quite


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite cruel TV shows in a sense, even like Takeshi's Castle and things, like quite, I dunno, so this is one of the examples, actually the one you mentioned, PFLAX.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two guys were put on a desert island with no food or clue where they were. They would only get off if they built a raft and went to Tokyo. It took them four months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And apparently like it was a really traumatic experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there was a comedian and a radio DJ who were told to hike from the bottom of South Africa to Norway. Jesus. One of them, they almost starved to death. Um, one of them was hospitalized after collapsing in the Sahara desert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like sort of 20, no, not even 20 years ago. Like, well, yeah, actually about, about 20 years ago now. So yeah. Okay. So this happened 20 years ago. But yeah, the other guy, um, there were two guys who were fans of different, uh, baseball teams and they were confined to a single room with a TV that only showed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, this is such a crazy like, I'm reading this thing about poor old Nasubi, who was this guy called, who was the guy in the apartment. His name comes from like, eggplant, and he was basically, he had to be like, he had to be naked almost the whole time, and every time he reached like a target,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they said, they would kind of like make it worse. So for example, originally you had to like win enough money to buy a plane ticket back to Japan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then like, oh, it was, it was, it's, do you know what? It was like, it actually is, it sounds amazing, but like just, I don't think it was good for him. Um, partly because he was alone for like 15 months. He was like the Truman show kind of thing. You know, he knew he was being recorded and live streamed and sort of things, or at least like Thor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a guy! Like, honestly, he like, what, he didn't quit. Like, you can imagine, like, these, cause you see it on these shows that people eventually just are like, I'm done, you know, I quit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd be with a very small group of people, or even on your own, in a very confined area probably, like limited space. Like, if you're on the International Space Station, I think like, these experiments, these isolation experiments that people put themselves through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we want those five things. We want to be able to shit in a river, get fish out of a river, have sex with a tree, whatever the things our ancestors did to stop themselves getting bored. You know, we need to like understand that even though we're going into space, you know, we are still


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, yeaah, sometimes, I don't know though, sometimes I don't know, people could side off saying, you know, much like they did at the jungle jump thing, you know, if they go, if your kids go in, in, into the jungle, I was watching these kids fly around and I thought,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you believe the layman doesn't matter. Or they shouldn't be doing something. Yea, you can usually give them a go and shut them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying like, some people don't know what's best for themselves though, either. Like, you know, like someone might think, oh damn, you know, I'm gonna fucking put, I'm gonna stick myself, I'm gonna go camping, and I'm gonna survive in the backwater of Jersey, and you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing about Jersey is like, you know, there's probably like a marked suspense, it's about two minutes walk up the road, so it's not, even like the most remote area is, it's probably fairly safe, you know, but if you go to like the fucking middle of the jungle or a desert island, like having to build a raft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's enough of the Triforce podcast. Thank you for listening everyone. Thanks everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sit down on this toadstool and share one of my doobies with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you want a cup of tea, dear? We got, I could give you a digestive biscuit with that, if you like. And, uh, old Mrs. Marshall's made some scones, but she used salt instead of sugar, so they're savoury scones, we call them, and they got ham in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're having an existential crisis. Oh, it's your birthday, so you're having a crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, do you guys like, uhm, I mean I, I don't send my friends birthday cards, I don't send them birthday cards or presents. No, right. Because we're grown ups and I figured, I'm not gonna be hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm concerned that other people, like my, me and my mates are, we're kinda weird like that, like, there's no sentimentality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or presents or gifts or anything that might be a happy birthday, but that's it. I don't know if that's a thing that blokes do or if that's just me and my mates and I'm worried that everybody else...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's interesting you talk about people's future being decided by their birthday. There is, there is pretty, 76, I'm the dragon, I'm the dragon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can we get a word count on the number of times Sips has said stuff in the last three minutes? Cause he's clearly got a lot of stuff!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is on a, on a day where the weather isn't too bad, the, the mum or the dad will have had a big clear out and they've put toys at their front gate as a sort of help yourself, please take these toys we don't want anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also about a million charity shops on Twickenham High Street, so people drop them off there. Yeah. But uhm, we, we gave our toys away. We had, this was quite sweet, uhm, we had a load of brio, uhm, which for anyone who doesn't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fantastic, it's like a wooden train set. Very good for little kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's bullshit, I'm sorry dude, that has to be bullshit. First of all, we had to do it because we were poor, and I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat. You only had two rooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you only have two rooms, what the fuck are you meant to do? You think the counts are gonna stomp in there and arrest people? Oh, this child should be sleeping in the corridor. No. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I guess they're actually just on the hunt for people too poor to have a room for each kid, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, so, so we were sharing a room, like, but we still had old toys in there. But as soon as me and my sister had moved out, my mum just like, cleared the room out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Six months before I fucked off to university. Uhm, and then when I was back home, they'd have to go share again and everything. It was, I mean, honestly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I mean, the difference is in train spotting, she was 15 and she was living at home because she was a school girl. Oh yeah, I remember now. Yeah. Yeah. Slight difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so, I mean, in terms of childhood rooms, uhm, no. It's now just been converted into the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's a grand full flat. She's elderly. It's perfect for her. It's got a garden and everything, you know, it's just right. But yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it's depressing, but no, it's not, it's not weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean the main thing is to, you remember the people and it's far more important than a room. Like movies make this big thing about your childhood bedroom and everything. It's just a room. Essentially it is just a room. The real memories are the things you did, your friends, that kind of stuff. I remember that a lot more than just, oh my room. It's like, you know, who cares? It's just a room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's weird. There's very few pictures of me as well. I mean, my mum's got a ton of pictures, uhm, and my dad's got a ton of pictures from when we were kids and all the rest of it. And I know that, uhm, my mum's still got all her photo albums going back to the 70s. And for her parents' photo albums, she's still got those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sometimes she shows the kids and stuff like that and it's like, wow, there was daddy when he was like seven or whatever or when I was two or three and that's cool. But then there's this weird gap. At university, I didn't really take that many photos because we didn't have a digital camera. Like it was just a, who wants to, you know, who can afford to have a camera and get pictures you have to carry around with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you don't have a camera because you're a kid, but yeah, nowadays, my daughter's got tons of pictures of her and her mates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, here's the other thing is you tend to get pictures taken at special occasions, like maybe at a birthday party or if you went to a wedding or something like that, like, or on holiday, but people didn't just have a camera on them. Whereas nowadays people have a fucking camera on them all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's just gonna be more pictures. Uhm, like when I think back and my kids are like, what was your room like when you were growing up? I mean, I don't have a photo of that. My mum might do somewhere. No, I mean, I have vague memories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No no no, so what you do is, you get two cars, you get two cars, a Mario and a Luigi, and you have these gates, these four gates, you set up the gates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's literally like a labo gate sort of thing. And you just drive, the first time you do it, you create the course by driving, you drive the car in the path you want the course to be. And then you go, all right, cool. Yeah. And you're both on your switches or whatever. And then it goes beep, beep, beep, beep and the race starts. But then you can play against. Just like Mario Kart. Yeah, but then you can play against.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only issue is the dog. There would be like a genuine hazard on the course, which is the dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna run around and grab the car, so yeaah, it would be high stakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you, do you, uh, just to change the subject, I've just noticed that Dr. Simon Clark, arch-suck-up, I think he must have studied brown-nosing, uh, has just said, happy birthday to Yogg's cast Lewis, this is the one day of the year when I remind you that you're an inspiration to people, bleh, shut up Simon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Essentially like, cold reading, where you say things like, uh, I'm getting the impression that you've, uh, you have someone close to you in your life, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you, you only want the best for them, and they're like, oh my god, yes, you're so right. Uh, but that sometimes this person maybe doesn't notice how much you want for the best for them, and they're like, oh god, that's so-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to go back to what I was saying when you started talking about horoscopes, this is about 20 minutes ago, you said, uh, that when you were born can sometimes have an effect on your life and everything like that. Well, this is true. If you look at the age that kids tend to be at school, that can often translate quite directly to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The age group, the way they group kids in sport, especially the younger age tends to be by year, so it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're, if you are one of the older kids in that group, you'll tend to be larger because kids grow so fast at that age that there's like a measurable difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a year's growth, uh, and the kids that have grown quicker tend to dominate that age group and then they get selected, uh, to play at a higher level and the other kids maybe give up because they're smaller even though they might be brilliant footballers when they grow up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As kids, they're unable to compete with a kid that's two foot taller than them, which is fair enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I think that that is interesting and there are lots of other examples throughout, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, it was a ton of fun. So now what I do is the in-house casts and on a Tuesday night, 8pm, little plug there, uh, I stream in-house games between viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We watch these, we watch these, these, these, these guys play and they're all terrible. Like there, there are a couple of them that are like, for, for the standard of the in-houses, like you were saying about,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being first in the bottom math set still means you're worse than the worst people in the top math set anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So some of these guys, like, CRUSH these in-house games, but we play with them in, like, our pub games and they don't do anything. So we've been in the mornings, I've been getting stacks, total stacks together with, like, my buddy Ashwin, and we'll choose three random goons from the Discord.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, because it's like, it's, it's all very well saying I don't know the mechanics and the spells and the overall strategy and everything. That's no problem. That can be fixed. But if you are a gutless worm whose first instinct is to turn to your fucking heels, I get angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's no fixing that. It goes to the core of who someone is, that they see their friends getting piled on. We've just started a fight and your first response is to run away. It drives me up the wall. And so we shout at people for that. Not casting their spells and running away. Just literally going, aah! And just dashing.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, we don't, she doesn't do the windows, but she does, she does, she hoovers the entire house. She tidies everywhere. She makes all the beds, puts shit away. I don't know how she knows where it goes, but she, she knows better than I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cultural attitude towards people was so different. Very different. Certainly, yeaah, with all of the riots going on in America at the moment, you know, it's tough, like uhm, it's been very tough, I don't know, it's obviously dominated the news this week, that there's this kind of big, kind of final, final

[Assistant] Riots that are, or not the riots, like the protests that are peaceful and are gentle and a lot of cities are doing it right and are not looting and, and, you know, punching reporters and cameramen in the face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a positive thing though, it raises attention and awareness and I think a lot of people are doing it in ways that are correct, but it's so tough. There's always going to be bad apples and America, God, when you've got a country that's neglected

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, I feel like the policy shouldn't be to be so tricky and aggressive and cheaty and scummy, you know, because it can just lead to them planting stuff, you know, and all sorts of problems.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the thing is like, I always think that change, uhm, only happens when the next generation die off. Uhm, you know, and so we've gotta, we gotta let the young people through.
