[Assistant] Culture to others around the world in that they, in the way they respond to things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I see what he's saying in that, you know, you don't want people to start fires deliberately to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, one of the worst things I've read about this as well is that what you find is that a lot of these climate change, um, people are very much like, oh, you know, I've got a forest, I can sell you climate credits so I won't cut down this forest. And of course then it gets burned down in a wildfire anyway. And then, you know, these, these big corporations managed to whitewash their carbon footprint. Um, it's all very,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very frustrating, you know, the idea that, oh, like, an owner of a forest, a private owner, I guess, of land in America, can, you know, sell these carbon credits and then... Yeah, be off the hook. You know, on the idea that they would have cut them down otherwise, which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty problematic, but that's a problem for another day. A happy one to end on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can, I can completely understand his sentiment of the brain fog of being in a new place with weird people telling you what to do, being very authoritative, you being scared, there being criminals and policemen around, you know, and all this weird formality and all the wigs and your honours and all strange wooden panelled rooms and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, all of this stuff, like, you can see it could be very hard to make a sense, like a rational sensible decision, and after you've done it, regret it immediately and think, what was I forced to do? You know, what was I to party to? And don't feel bad, like, I guess this is just dated, it's the way it works, it's over, it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing is, it's a bit of both worlds, isn't it? We've been spoiled by these murder shows where everyone confesses or they have CSI and they have genetic, you know, evidence linking all the people to the crime. And, you know, in reality, you know, we don't get that and we've been having to make these decisions. And I think the courts


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been frustrated by this and certainly the police services where they almost know someone did it but they have no evidence and they have to, you know, rely on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be honest with you, the kids have gone back after summer break, takes a couple of months to really kick in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But once it starts, it spreads like wildfire. My eldest is never sick. She never ever gets sick. Never. She hardly ever has to take a day off school. She had three days off school this week. She was poorly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, no, we love to mess with each other, but very subtly, like we don't really, we don't prank at each other and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so all of this shit that talks about how you need to analyze this and change your behavior that, if you guys are together and it's not going well, I don't think you're gonna be able to actually genuinely turn it around in any meaningful way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And suddenly adjust the way you do things day to day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the time. Cause you can't just do it for a couple of weeks. It's basically saying you need to analyze this and become a completely different person, otherwise this relationship isn't gonna work. I would suggest the relationship isn't working because you guys just aren't getting along and it just hasn't worked out. How about that? Rather than saying we need to fix this, it's not a fucking carburettor, you can't just take it apart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also even if they try to change, dude, I mean, can you really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think honestly that in terms of marriage counseling, I know a few people who've gone through this. I think the main thing is the resentment builds up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is if you get a third party, like a marriage counselor, say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To essentially mediate, what needs to happen is the airing of all the dirty laundry and the cobwebs and all the rest of it. Once that's come out and you're saying why you're frustrated, that's how people start to come back together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whatever you guys, when people got together, whatever it was in the early days, it will have changed over time because, I mean like, you know, you and I are in the same boat, Chris. We've been together with our partner a very long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we've gone from being just goofy kids together to being responsible adults with children and mortgages and shit like that. You're not the same person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over that time, you've, you've changed, you've, you're in a fucking- But neither is your partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you what, I think the key to our relationship, right, is that she makes me laugh and I make her laugh. And I try to make her have one big laugh every day. Like, really, really make her laugh. At least once a day. That's a good one, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not like I go out of my way to do it, I'm just that funny, you know, hanging out. But it really, I think that, like, laughing has been the biggest thing that we've shared, is we have a very similar sense of humour. And we have, I'm sure you have the same thing, Sips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was driving us, uh, this is when we'd recently moved up to London. And this relative is, is, uh, pretty, has had a pretty closeted life, I'd say, uh, if that's the word, like quite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they, uh, the relative is driving us in the car, and it's quite a narrow London street, and another car pulled over to let us go past, and the driver of this other car was black. And as we went past, the relative slowed the car, wound down the window, and said thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, he said, thanks man, and I've never heard this relative use the term man in my life, so I think he said thanks man because the guy was black, and we say that to each other all the time, it's just so funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you know, sometimes, uh, like Mrs. F just got, on a Friday we quite often get, get breakfast set, like, brought in, you know, delivery or whatever. So she got me a sausage and egg muffin from Leon, which is actually really good. I love that. I fucking love that. It makes me so happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the thing, that's the key thing, right? Is being yourself, and I think a lot of these self-help fucking things are telling you that basically you need to change your behaviour to make this work. But that's my point, is if being yourself isn't working out, it's not gonna work out, because you can't be someone else all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I got a question for you guys, and this is kinda similar. How often do you find yourselves being too trusting? And I'm not talking about relationships, I'm not talking about too trusting of your partner or whatever, I'm just saying how often do you find that you believe other people more than other people seem to believe other people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have a similar kind of thing where I meet people and I just don't like them. And I think the main reason is I can tell very quickly that they don't like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, you know, they're, I dunno, a streamer, like that's, I can't think of any other job. So, I kind of get acutely aware of how I'm perceived because of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you, you kind of have this acute awareness of being looked at and evaluated by other people. When I'm streaming, I'm not thinking about that at all, but your subconscious must be thinking about it. So maybe when you're meeting people, you're evaluating how they're evaluating you. Like you're spending too much of your brain effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's why I ask, cause I suddenly had, you know when you have a memory of something from fucking years ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even if it's something that is kind of embarrassing or whatever, it was so long ago when you were so young, you kind of give yourself a free pass and you're like, well, I didn't know better, I was just a kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've always been very, very bad at spotting when people are obviously, like, lying about something. Like, a story that's so ridiculous that I should be able to see through it straight away. And I just believe them, especially if they're a friend of mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I would have been about 13, maybe 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my friend Keith in, uh, there's a name you don't hear anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we, we were, we really wanted to get into, to LARPing, right? It was a relatively new thing. Very few places in the UK did it at that time. Like, there were some, but it's now, I mean, the gathering and all that kind of shit, it's like thousands of people across Europe coming together for these big LARPing events. It was still considered, like, pretty out there and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we were young kids, we couldn't exactly go off and do this stuff by ourselves. We didn't know any, any, anyone else really. There were, there were some people in the class that would have done it, but there was no way we could do it. So my friend Keith told me that he did regular lapping and I was like, oh wow. And he told me where it was. It was like somewhere in Bournemouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out in the, out in the sticks a bit in Bournemouth. And I was like, uh, you know, what kind of costumes are you? He goes, oh yeah, you have to wear a costume.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the monsters don't wear costumes. The monsters are holograms. I was like, what? He goes, yeah, they're like projected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they project the hologram creatures, so you fight them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and if you hit them, they'll be like, the hologram will change, like it will react to the hit. I was like, really? He goes, yeah, so the other day I was, uh, I was out with my mates, you know, we're lapping, we're patrolling through the forest and I see a goblin up in a tree and it looked like the goblin was there because it was just a projected hologram.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, wow, this sounds amazing. What I should have said was, wow, this sounds like absolute fucking bollocks. Why am I believing this? For months he's strung me along, telling me a little bit more about it. Right. I arranged to go and meet up with him. He kept cancelling at the last minute. It never occurred to me that he was full of shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until eventually I just must have stopped talking about it, I can't remember. There was no showdown where I was like, you're fucking lying. It's just like, who believes that? Holograms, fucking holograms being projected, and this is just some local lopping group in Bournemouth. This would be on the fucking news that people have figured out how to project holograms that look like lifelike. We can't do that now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I just feel bad, man, cause Keith was a good lad, um, he was just, he had a lot of troubles at home, I think, and I think his escape was making shit up. Almost like a fantasy world, and telling you about it was kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what, the name alone, I don't need to know the details. If I, if this, I'm sure this is something I'll have to do at some point. No, I hope not. I would rather go in blind and just not know what's coming. Just, just bring it there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it like the one that, and I'm sure you've had this where they put it up the ladies vagina when she's pregnant to have a good old look-see around there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you said I'd feel better about this process, how you heard about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Tom, prior to this going out, insert this small warning, okay? What you're about to hear is fucking gross and scary, and we will tell you when it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that we're all, we're all over it. Like, I love Jingle Jam, it's one of my favourite things to do. I look forward to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than I look forward to going to TI, hands down, no doubt. I fucking love coming down to Bristol, doing all the streams, hanging out with y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I fucking love it. And I love the fact that we look at how much fucking money we've raised and it's just like, wow, I've actually done something worthwhile with my life. This is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So that's more of a cartoony version. This is more, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, it's very complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. But it's all, it's really, really well done. It's very dramatic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they've added this sort of theatrical element to it, so you do really feel like you're in a movie. Yeah. I recommend it. It was really, really good fun. But I've also been playing a game, I normally don't go for games that are like this, but the name is Solasta, Crown of the Magister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's like a D&D 5th edition rules RPG, with, you know, the proper D&D style combat, turn base, you know, you hit this, you use that spell, use these items and all the rest of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but it's good, and I was looking for an RPG to get my, you know, my hands into. That's what I played, but I streamed for 7 hours and 40 minutes. I thought it was like 2 o'clock, I look up, it's nearly 5 o'clock, I was like, holy shit, I better stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, properly got into it. Uh, because Baldur's Gate 3 is not out yet. And if you look at the polish on Baldur's Gate 3, it looks unreal. Like all the cutscenes, the acting, the characters, everything looks amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like, it's a finished game, but it feels like it was made by like three people. So, the voice acting is pretty bad, the animations are pretty bad, but they've got a really fun little game, so I've really enjoyed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No it's not. You can only get to a certain point. I don't wanna start, and also people are saying it gets to a certain point, and then it's like, there's been a big new patch, you've gotta, your save files are fucked, you gotta start again. Like, I'm gonna wait till it's 100% released, thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you find like sometimes you get approached to do a streamer game and I just think, well this is gonna be a chore, but I'll do it. But like, I got one I think last year to fucking play Tarkov.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, yeah, okay. It's just when that happens, it really, it really feels easy to, to, uh, to do it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friend's son's fan, adult fans will know him, uhm, he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him and Jenkins, who's another Dota guy, made a game called Ability Arena, which is kind of like Dota Auto Chess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I won my first game of Ability Arena the other day. Did you? Yeah, and I've never won before. I've come like third and stuff like that. Sure. Uhm, but yeah, I won one. Had the build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you are listening to this, Essence Flux, which is the ability that every time you cast a spell has a chance to give you mana. The Gaben version of that, the level 9 version of that, extends your range and damage and all the rest of that. And then I had Wild Axes, which is the Beastmaster ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you've gotta go for the gavens. That's key. Don't buy, like don't just buy abilities. Like quite often I'll have a lad who's got one ability, like he's just got Ravage and then he dies and I don't care. The main thing is you have one lad that is just like super fucking OP and you spin through the spell lists trying to get him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good as possible, because quite often that one guy will win you the fight. He's so strong. It's like having a carry and don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when, when blokes who are mates with other blokes, right, when your mates are going through a breakup, uh, you might just go, don't worry about it mate, plenty more fish in the sea. There's no counselling, there's no cuddling, there's no long talks about it. It's generally just going to be a 10 minute conversation at most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Folks won't discuss relationship problems with their mates in anything like the terms that women will. So for example, a woman's going through a breakup, her girlfriends are expected to like be there for her and back her up and hold her hand and get her through this and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I personally think, you know, that sounds much healthier than what blokes get. And one of the best examples I got of this, the other week I was watching the Wrexham documentary, uh, about how Ryan Reynolds and that other guy bought


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Wrexham Football Club, and there's a scene in there, in the pub, in Wales, in Wrexham, and, uh, one of the lads says, uh, something, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but don't you think in general, you're not, as a bloke, expected to sort of be there for these moments?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got a much smaller problem, but a very annoying one that like in a way I wish it were a bigger problem because I will basically need to do this myself. It's too small a job to call someone out to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, cause it'll either be, they'll be like, I'm not doing a job that small, which is fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a draining board on one side that runs over the kitchen counter and the tap is there on the left hand side of the sink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And directly beneath that draining board, to the left of the sink, is the dishwasher. And it's a fitted dishwasher, it's fitted into the kitchen unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the tap is behind the dishwasher and getting to it, there's a tiny little bit has been cut out of the wooden surface inside beneath the sink so you can get to the tap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's extremely awkward and you have hardly any space and you can barely fit a hand in there. And I've got in there with my torch and the tap is now loose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the whole thing is jiggling around in its fitting in the sink. And there are these long screws with these hexagonal bolts that are sort of up, uh, that you have to tighten those up underneath to hold the tap in place. Now my mum, bless her, every time she comes to stay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was like, it was not loose until you started using the tap. Like, what have you done to this tap? So, I can't get in there to tighten it up. So I've ordered something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Called a tube wrench, which is like a long tube that you fit over the screw and then over the bolt and tighten it and it should work in a tight angle. If this doesn't work, I don't know what I'm gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but here's the problem. I can't get flush under the tap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine it's slight, it's about just a few centimeters in. So I'm gonna have to hope that I can get this thing up under there. It's gonna be a nightmare. It's gonna be an absolute nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the guy fitted it, he was a professional plumber, obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, if I can't get this done soon, I'm gonna have to take the whole fit of dishwasher out and they never quite go back in right. It's a nightmare. He said, you really, really have, I really, you're gonna have to cross your fingers and hope I can get this done. And luckily he was able to do it, but it was clearly a massive, massive struggle for him. Oddly enough,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just a regular looking plumber, but he had perfect fake teeth, like glowing white. It was so surreal. And when he finally got it, yeah, like, but they were like, they're so white. It's like the whitest paint imaginable was the colour of his teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a nice way of saying it. I'm down for whatever is better than whatever. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, this is from, uh, Tanesh from, uh, Singapore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, I was there, uh, just last week. Yeah. Uhm, so he said, he's a Singaporean, he's really enjoyed TI and all the rest of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, got some interesting information about Singapore to share. You might, you guys might not know this, I didn't know all of these. There is a racial quota imposed on all government housing, so that if the quota for Chinese people in a building has been filled, no more Chinese people can live there, and it's only open to other races.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bringing durian fruit onto public transport, because it's very smelly. Being naked in your own home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone, I guess, can see you through a window or something, and not flushing public toilets, those are all fineable offences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you, uh, to control traffic, if you want a car, you first need to purchase a certificate of entitlement, which is a thing that allows you to buy a car, and usually costs more than the car itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel cost four and a half billion pounds to build. How about that? Holy crap. Holy crap. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Elon Musk has, he initially said that if you want a Twitter verification mark, it's 20 bucks a month and anyone who wants one can get one if they pay 20 bucks a month for it. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Public interest, shall we say. A journalist, for example, or a published author, or a politician, or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a billionaire, a multiple billionaire complaining, oh it's all just lords and peasants. Alright, give your money away then chump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give it all away if you want to even the playing field. What are you talking about? He clearly bought Twitter just to fuck with people. And I have a feeling that when he says lords and peasants and he's all up in the whole blue checkmark thing, it's because a lot of people with blue checkmarks tend to be like more liberal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Calling out people like Elon Musk for his bullshit. And he doesn't want it anymore and now he owns it and he's thrown his toys out the pram. It's, it's laughable. It's the most laughable thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you take a huge group of users and say, oh, there are other platforms, you're going to diffuse all those users into nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And although people can complain about Twitter and the circle-jerking and all the rest of it, it does serve an important purpose. I don't like the fact that journalists will have an entire article that is just fucking quotes from Twitter. That can fuck off. But that's lazy journalism. That's not Twitter being a problem, that's journalists being fucking lazy. Some of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how Twitter is really, I mean, I think it's a really funny platform. It's all based on who you follow. And, you know, it's sort of like, imagine if it was Reddit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is essentially what it is, it's like, you know, you can follow anybody, it's all public and all the rest of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead of just having categories, you have specific users and you just follow them. That's all it is. If Twitter is annoying to you, you're following the wrong people. It's that simple. Unfollow the ones that are annoying you and follow the ones that you like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an email from, from Henry, saying that he was listening to our podcast, uh, when he had, he was actually listening to Lewis's feature on the Comfort Zone podcast, whatever that is, I haven't heard of that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he crashed his car. Uh, the cars are right off. He's okay. He's wondering whether he's owed compensation. Henry, uh, eight bucks, mate. We'll give you eight bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from Jay, uhm, who would like me to say this in my Australian accent. So apologies to any Australian listeners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another one was, every time someone asked what we were eating for a meal, he said, shit sandwich. Whenever he was asked what he was doing, he'd say, I'm mowing the lawn, what does it look like? And sitting around like a jar of stale piss was another for someone being useless. I recently found out, he got a lot of these from his father, and now I find myself saying a few of them. And his question is, do we have any that we say? That's from Jay in Melbourne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we have any sayings that you have come from your family and now you find yourself saying them without really any thought?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like my kids will ask me a question sometimes and I'll just say, well, many a mickle makes a muckle. And they'll be like, what? That's it. It's just a way of saying, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just sort of a lack of imagination. Find a new way to say something. Just come up with a new one every time. Stretch your brain a little bit. I think rather than let that part of your brain become solidified and ossified with these sayings, flex it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Named all his kids George as well. That's what happens when you get hit in the head for a living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, alright, this is from Jacob, uh, from Scotland. Said that, uh, I was driving around delivering parcels for Big Jeff. That's Jeff Bezos.

[Assistant] Pro Team Tundra Esports has just won the Defense of the Ancients action video game tournament. Uh, which is a good way of putting it, I guess. But yea, that's it. That's the whole story. Thanks Jakub. Nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're a UK based, uh, uh, eSports org. And actually, the owner is the son of the guy that owns AFC Bournemouth football team, Maxim Demin. And I met him at the after party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And asked him if he knew my mate who's the accountant at the club, and he said he did. There you go. It was a good life, took a picture with him. Anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from, uh, I'm not gonna say the name yet. I wanted to briefly talk about CPUs and some of the differences between them, specifically Intel chips. Now this is actually quite interesting, I didn't know this. And I think we were talking about processors the other week, I know we talk about the most powerful processor in the world, the Pentium, quite often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The new 12th and 13th generation Intel chips. Alright, this bit's quite boring. Blah blah blah. Very blah blah blah.

[Assistant] The difference in the number of cores and the naming convention boils down to the manufacturing process of the CPU die itself. In essence, Intel is striving to manufacture all i9 chips or i9 rated chips, but because the manufacturing process is so delicate, the smallest flaw or imperfection


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll render some circuitry bad, so they don't pass the i9 standard test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that happens, the manufacturing process will intentionally reduce functionality of this particular CPU in a progressive manner until it passes the next benchmark of tensing, reducing cores and caches, etc. So you go from the i9, the i7, the i5, and the i3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is basically yield management, a big part of the semiconductor making process, a better way to get a useful part to turn it into an inferior product that you can still sell and make profit on rather than throwing it away and getting nothing. I thought that was quite interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They aim for the very highest level processor they can, and if it doesn't quite get there, because they basically, it's, I mean, it's, it's so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such a delicate process though, they sort of grow these things in this vat of chemicals, don't they? It's almost impossibly skilled work and ridiculously close. So if you don't quite get there, you can sell it as a slightly lesser processor. There's always going to be a market for slightly cheaper processors, so that makes sense.

[Assistant] And if you can guess the name of the guy who emailed this in, uh, it'd be pretty funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is, that is it. She's grand handling. Good god. Uh, this is from Sam. Uh, teacher and biker based in Sheffield. Right. Uh, and he's got a question for us. Uh-huh. Not that any of you seem egotistical, he goes on to add.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, but I think that shows a lack of ego in all honesty because if you did give it, you know, you wanted to look, uh, your absolute best in all the pictures and be like, I've got to look fabulous. Then I think you would care. I think the fact that you see it as just another part of your daily life that might come up, but don't plan specifically around it shows a lack of ego. I think that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I've found is that because I don't spend a huge amount of time out and about, when I'm at events, I don't fart because I'm around other people, I try not to, you know, I'm not one of those people. And then I'm fucking so bloated and gassy, when I finally get into privacy, it's like someone's opened the end of a balloon and it's just going


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My kids, when they have dinner now, it's on the dining room, sort of there on the breakfast bar, they sit and they'll look at it and they're like, oh, look, I was like so little and all the holiday pictures and everything. They absolutely love it. And I get a notification every time a photo gets uploaded and it's quite sweet because I'll send Mrs. F a picture on WhatsApp from like when I was in Singapore and then I get the notification, she's put it on the aura frame. So I know that the kids are seeing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this one's from Connor. He's in the army. American army by the looks of the picture. Uh, let me just check. Yep, looks like the American army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving on, this is Connor. I'm in the army, have been for a long time, started as a medic, and now is a parachute rigger. I enjoy listening to y'all. When able to lay out parachutes to pack the next day after everyone's gone home, jumping from planes is a good job, mate. Cutting to the chase, you'd love to hear if us, if us three had to be in the military,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I reckon that's probably the safest. Uh, I'd say morally it might be the one that would cause you the most stress later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's true. Uh, I think Drone Operator is a very good shout. I've always wanted to be a submarine captain. Even though I hate submarines, I played a lot of U-Boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's, you can hear the death charges. The hole is creaking and stuff. Oh my god. Yeah, you're right, what was I thinking? Alright, uh, I'd like to be one of the lads that sits in the nuclear silo and has to turn the key at the same time as the other lad, and then you push the button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. You probably just gotta poo and just like- You gotta poo in a jug you can't- And just throw it away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good point. Oh, they'll definitely find your arse if you leave a poo behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was reading just this morning about this artillery piece they've sent over to Ukraine to help them defeat the dastardly forces of Putin's army. It's the M777 artillery piece. This thing can fire like 25 miles and land this shell with an accuracy of within 16 fucking feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what? The U.S. Army this year, they recruit about 60,000 people every year to replace the people who are leaving the army. They don't lose that many troops every year, people just leave the forces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to have a high school education and be able to pass the, the intelligence test to get in. And of all the people out there that they're trying to recruit, all the people of the correct age, only 23% of them are currently actually viable candidates to join the armed forces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of those, an awful lot of them have no interest in joining the military. A lot of young people nowadays, you know, they're not seeing it as like, this great thing, they're seeing it as this deeply politicised...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, uh, an email from a lad. Uh, this is interesting. You were talking- this is very funny. A little dark, but very funny. You were talking about changing names last podcast episode. I don't know when this was, but yes. I was born on the day the Twin Towers fell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Osama or Sam for short to this day. I have evidence if you don't believe me. I believe you, Tariq. I believe you. And there it is. There indeed is his birth certificate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like that Seinfeld with the, uh, what was the name of the guy she's dating? Uhm, God, what was it? They go to a baseball game and they make an announcement over the tannoy for this guy and it happens to be the name of a fictional serial killer in the show and Elaine convinces him to change his name and they fall out over- Yeah, that's really early Seinfeld.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it might be a little bit later because I watched it the other day. It might be season 4 or even 5. Because it's around the time of the episode where George converts to Latvian Orthodox because he fancies a woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from, uh, Jimmy. Uh, just wanted to email in to ease Sips' worry about the camera down the Johnson he's gonna have. Right. I had this done when I was 20 years old. He's now 24, so he obviously made it. And when I describe it, it will sound like one of the worst experiences ever. Okay, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have the camera feed on show and they invite you to watch as if you know exactly what was going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's alright, it's alright, listen, let Jimmy ease your concerns. Let Jimmy ease your concerns. It was quite uncomfortable at the time and I came out walking like Liam Gallagher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in regards to the Dharma one, this was Joe, just wanted to know if we felt that all these shows about serial killers, sometimes they happen very recently and the families of the victims are very much still alive and in some cases the court proceedings are still ongoing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think most people would agree that we have like all these institutions and systems and we work and have worked very hard over the centuries to, to improve


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our crime solving techniques and how we catch people and making people safer and everything. So in a way, it's a way of dipping out of that safety bubble into a world where you might get chopped up and eaten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Institutions are very slow to change their approach. It's always a few brilliant individuals who come up and say, this is how we can solve this, this is, this is how we can fix it. And I think that's really fascinating. That's the side of it I find more interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was just a bit, they kind of glorified it a bit, kind of reveled in some of the details. A little bit too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's finish on a complaint email, alright? Because I love these. Oh, brilliant. Do the voice!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this means I have a lot of driving to do, so I figured I'd relisten to the entire Triforce catalogue. I've hit episode 126, but there has been one thing that has slightly annoyed me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two stories, the bath plug story and the spy house. The inconsistency that annoys me is that you all reference these as stories that have been spoken about millions of times, as Triforce does have a history of speaking about things before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing, I think because I spoke about it on stream, I carried that into, I must have spoken about this before on the podcast, but obviously according to this chap, I've only spoken about it once, so apologies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, there's a list of commands. It's, it's exclamation mark senile followed by a number. I think we're up to 26 or 27. They're unbelievable. They're unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What have you done? It's you, it's down to you. They were almost thinking like, y'know, how do we get our kids to be as chill as us, cause we're really chill and cool. They weren't, they had no chill, like they were really

[Assistant] Additional tugging. Man, this guy loves to fucking tug on your balls. He's a tugger. He's a tugger. Tugging away down there. I don't like the mocking tone. That's not what I expect from a doctor. No.

[Assistant] He looks for the right tube in the cable management mess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's move on. Oh god, so you were in there, this German man tugging on your balls, he cut your balls open, he found the right wire, like he was defusing some sort of bomb and, uh, snip the, snip the, the white wire. I guess the cum wire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, imagine if you had to take the dog to be neutered, and that was like, the same. You and your dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the hell is up with that guy? In news, in news, in some news this week, I read that first of all the new Batman movie is called Joker Folly a Deux.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it means madness. Madness for two. Oh, and Lady Gaga was playing as, uh, Harley Quinn. Okay. Yeah, it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow, okay. Well I think it's sort of a follow-up to Jo- Jo- Jo- Joachim Fiennes' Joker. I have not seen that. I have yet to see that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Yes. A few people on discord have seen it. They said that it was, the animation was very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because my dad used to call me his number one son, which always felt good to me. And then once he was like, he's like, yeah, cause you're the first one. And I was like, oh, I'm not the best one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What context did you ever watch it? Well, Pedgwin and his daughter were around in the office, and so he just put it on the TV. Sure. And like, I was just like, Evie, like, just, I was like, wrapped, it's like sucked into the episode. Yeah, yeah. Like, I dunno, they're like weirdly compelling. They are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have this kind of utopian Australian existence where they're just entirely tolerant of all of the chaos that the children go through. They have supernatural patience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a few good like moments where, you know, the parents like kind of exasperatedly roll their eyes at each other and stuff. And you, you realise that's in there for the parents to see, uh, kind of thing. I don't know. Like it's, I appreciate it. So no, the Batman anecdote was that they've not been, uh, there was a news article that came out that, that, that they're filming these long, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Set set pieces right over like two hours and as a result they're like have these really strict rules on set like no bathroom breaks, no...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No drinking water for the extras, you see what I mean? Like, like some sort of dracon- just, the idea of these draconian rules, but I think it's more like, it sounds reasonable to like, do two hours non-stop. I dunno, we- but, but if someone needs to pee or, or poo, like whatever, like, you can't just, you can't, you can't just like, put the, you just gotta let them go, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, okay. Well, that person's not gonna get their job back if they can't- they don't eat the proper diet for a full day of filming. What took you so long in there, buster?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look after yourself, you know, you're an actor, you gotta, you gotta, these actors keep themselves in incredible shape, you know, you gotta, you gotta, the extras gotta do it too. Um, what else happened in the news? Someone else sent me another article. Oh yeah, there was, um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was thinking about your vasectomy, in fact I saw an article about how they're actually making a birth control pill for men. So maybe you didn't need to have your balls cut off at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it's like getting your eyes lasered instead of having to wear glasses, you know? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I wanted to mention one other thing as well before you got any more for us. I don't know if you saw the news this week that, um, Roald Dahl books are being, like, slightly censored. Because they're a bit old fashioned, and they use... I mean, actually, honestly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we don't typically use those, that kind of language though these days, do we? We're not, I mean, we're-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But certainly I think that, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a sense, I don't think of modern kids, but I think it would be, I mean, Roald Dahl has always been kind of mean-spirited, right? It was kind of like, it was quite cruel, and as a result,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, Matilda, some of these books, they were a bit kind of edgy, definitely, as kids' books before, right? And quite dark in place, is it?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Later in the month we're doing the, uh, some more bolt action, innit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're thinking about, I don't know if we want to talk about the, uhm, the scenario, but I don't, I don't think we're gonna do another sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna say comedy, but it was, it was essentially a comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well obviously it had Dad's Army in it, so it wasn't, it wasn't like a proper game of ball action if you like. And obviously, I'm thinking for the next one, maybe we do a historical, famous historical mission from World War II. I have one in mind that I pitched to Ben.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How have you been post-JJ? Have you taken a needed break and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking you some time to come to this conclusion that I think, I don't think you're gonna find any arguments against that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, can I just quickly say, my issue with Glass Onion is, um, it's fucking boring. The script is non-existent. I swear to God, it's like the first draft. The guy just boshed out the script over a weekend and they were like, yeah, whatever. They're working with absolute shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make his direct descendant, it took two people. So you just, you just have to go up the tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And eventually, like 12 times removed, you'd go up the tree and find his direct relatives, who had a child, who then married someone, and then they had a child, and then they married someone, then they had a child, all the way down. Do you know what I'm saying? It's just 24 people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying I could draw a list of the direct descendants from Pocahontas to Edward Norton and it wouldn't be 4096 people. If you're chucking in every other person even remotely related to them all the way up, like all of them, but you can go Pocahontas, Edward Norton and it wouldn't be 4096 people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cookie cutter, boring, terrible lines, no dialogue, that's memorable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside No. 9 I thought it was really, really good. I knew nothing about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, they just worked the number 9 in there somewhere, it's kind of a gimmick, but it's not like the episode revolves around it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think for me the best thing is that the way they, they only, it's only a half an hour show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You very quickly, they're very good at just a few lines or a few points and you know the character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've already been invited to do so. I think by you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of that one time that I didn't like that Cthulhu board game, you don't want to play board games with me anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not the case. I take them very seriously. I just didn't realize it was gonna take 17 hours. And it wasn't even a very good game, no offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But some turns, some turns in that, that Cthulhu game, Seas of, Seas of Cthulhu's Balls or whatever it was called, some, some turns, it's like, well, I will turn, uh, 90 degrees, and then, uh, that is my turn completed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it's like half an hour until you get to do anything again, and you've got that for like seven hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It runs real, it runs real quickly if you run out of impetus. If you're in the thick


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But look at the Ferengi. They have everything they need as a race in Star Trek to be like the Playboys of space. But then they look and sound like the Ferengi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like how, how are they, how do you exist as trading with other species and all the rest of it across the empire and between the federation, all these other different, if there's no money, you know. There's no trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but there must be stuff that you can't, uhm, just say, oh, oh too, oh great too hot, like, you know, with all the computer guy, I can't make that, there'll be something it can't make, that's what you have to trade for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, without money, if it's all barter trade, if that's the entire system in Star Trek, because obviously the federation doesn't have money, what are they trading in? How do you trade stuff in such a way where you say, we'll give you money for that, you have to trade goods for other goods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just thought, this has just been dropped in because it's like, haha, won't that be funny? Right, right. Like it was... Was it funny? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there was nothing funny in the entire thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, uhm, I didn't finish it. I got three quarters of the way through and then we went to bed and Mrs. F finished it the next day. She said, don't bother, it's dog shit. I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you not read the thing about, uh, they found out that gas ovens are actually super bad for you? Like, they're, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of, uh, they've done this scientific study. This is a big thing in the states. Having a gas oven is like having secondhand smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, when you turn it off, it's still putting out some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't believe so. I mean, as I understand it, it does put out pollutants. I mean, you're burning a natural gas, and it's just in the room with you, right? I mean, it's unbelievable, I think, that there might be some health cost to that. Because it's not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you want burning gas, there's gonna be byproducts of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And found that a lot of, one fifth of all childhood, uh, asthma cases have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why I do it? I mean, I'm a little sensitive about the vegetarian thing today. Why? Because we had the food shop come on Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. Sometimes she really does get stressed. She's like watching it, like, please don't fail. Like if some process fails. And then if it does, she's like, right, I've got to go into the fucking office and blah, blah, blah. So it can be, it can be stressful, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very happy that she does that. Thank you very much. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it was fucking vegetables. It was, it was vegetables and lentils in a lesbian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as soon as it arrived, as soon as it arrived in the food shop, I saw it and I was like, this must have been a substitution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. You weren't objective. It had vegetables on the top of the lasagna. Oh, that's weird. Which looked dogshit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you thought about trying, uh, some vtubing? Like, get an avatar of yourself, have a sips vtube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it would be funny. My friend, uh, SirActionSlacks did it with Windrunner as his Vtube avatar and it was really funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think, no, I think his community picked it. I think they picked his avatar and of course they know he hates windrunners so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He plays Omni, he plays Omni Knight, he plays Nekro, um, I don't think he, I don't think he has even played New Techies, I think. I can't play Nek-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also haven't played Dota, uhm, since before Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you not remember when they said, we're gonna be doing a patch every week or two weeks? That lasted like a month. And then they just sacked it off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that uhm, one of the reasons it's been able to live as long as it is, is because of the subscription thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't have a subscription system, you have to continually make money off the new content, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's actually just draining money from your coffee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's got that long tail, so it had that big, I don't think it even had a big surge when it first came out. I think it kind of was ticking along with a very few number of players relatively speaking. Then they came to a point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, yeah. I mean, I know that Pestily had like, what was it, 300,000 views or something the other day? Like a lot of people. So, you had a huge spike when the game really suddenly was in a good state and was being streamed a lot and some big guys started streaming it and then it had a huge burst. Then it's got that long tail. If you think about WoW, it's been having money coming in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a long time, and even the, the player base is always contributing money and then with the expansion packs and stuff like that, they come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't go into a raid in one point and leave at that point, you go in at one point and you make your way through all these different areas, eating and regenning and health and all the rest of it, as you go. That's been a thing that they've wanted to do, and I think that they've, people have said, please don't do that, it would kind of ruin talk of, and it would, but I believe that they've always wanted to make that other game. Yes. Well here's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been playing talk of for over two weeks now and I've been having a ton of fun and I don't, I think they have done a lot to address what you were complaining about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I have noticed that the earlier stage is dragged out. We've been running five man stacks in the evening and it's been a ton of fun. Sometimes one lad kills all five of us, but that is itself quite fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The current edition dnd looks like a really nice pared down or pared back sims system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I played, uh, third edition, I played 3.5, I didn't play 4 and I haven't played 5 yet, but I've read the book and it looks good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Dr. Dre. A dentist. Oh, I see, like Dr. Dre. A producer. A self-appointed doctor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could do that. I mean, that's the thing, there's no rule saying that you have to have all these ridiculous classes and characters. You can do a low magic setting in D&D if you wanted, and just say no, you all have to be humans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a couple of days, you're gonna have to reshave, it's gonna grow back, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they probably do, right? Because I was thinking, like, before, I had to give myself an enema before I had that probe in my ass, and I was toying with the idea of just not doing it. Like, uh, you know, I was just gonna turn up and say, oh yeah, and did you do your enema? Yeah, yeah, I did it. Yeah. Oh, I see.

[Assistant] It's a way of coping. You're no longer like the uhm, you're no longer like the lean, trim, you know, sex Ferrari that you were when you were a young buck. But you look back, you look back on those days and imagine that you were, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you've actually missed it somehow. Yeah, and uh, that's why you spend most of your older years commenting on it, because you're just trying to cope with the changes, you know? You're just trying to kind of uh, bamboozle yourself a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But deep down you know. You know? You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right, so it's about a place more so than about like a cast of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wonder who's gonna get punched in the face this year. Or maybe somebody, maybe even they'll have to up their game, right? They might have to up their game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the craziest thing about it, and I know this is old news and not even really worth talking about or whatever, but the thing that always surprises me about it is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a guy who's been, you know, in the, in the limelight for, for so long, like, uh, you would have thought that he would have had a bit of a thicker skin by now. You know, I'd understand if he was at the start of his career and, you know, and it was just like, you know, he wasn't accustomed to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, having to deal with criticism or uh, you know, people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change your look completely though, you know, like you have to play Joffrey clean shaven and then in your private life you just have to have a massive beard and wear a hat and sunglasses all the time and stuff, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this gonna be one of those stories where at the time you were big time and he wasn't and you like snubbed him and now he's like big time and he's mentioning you back to you? Did he call you a bozo as well at the same time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, they're kinda like blessings in disguise when that happens, alright? Cause like, I know there's been times where like, I've had something like that happen to me, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's turned out to be like the best thing, you know, like you hear, you hear like a horror story of what happened after and you're like, I'm glad I wasn't there or you go home and you just like have like a really, uh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people sense it from like a mile away. They're like, ah, this guy is not, we're not letting this guy into anything. This guy's not allowed to have fun. This guy needs to know his place. Go home. Go home to your kids. You, you, you old bastard. Get out of here. We don't want you in our, in our sex club. We, we, we want young spunky people in this club. Not, not you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spider is, uh, is, is played by, uh, wait, no, which one's spider?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, yea, yea, from Sopranos, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a bit out there for Europeans. It's definitely somewhere you'd have to plan to go to, right? Like, it's not easy. If you're in America, you can like road trip it, like with most things, I suppose. You could just drive for a couple of days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You start the night with shaved balls and by the time you get home, it's all grown back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the best thing about Vegas, and this is gonna sound like the most...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. I would love to go in one just to experience it, but I would be scared the whole time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds pretty cool. I would like to do something like that. It was very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about like a little Cessna plane, like would you ever do uhm, you know sometimes you can get, I don't know if there's like an air, well I guess you got big airports but they don't really count, but like over here it's small enough where there's like, the airport also has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to learn how to fly one of those little planes and just go, like fly over to like some small airport in France. Like even just once, like I wouldn't want to do it all the time, like I'd be too scared, but just once, just like, just land in some field in France and just, you know, say bonjour and then go back home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, they, I, I was watching this, I fucking hate when I do this as well, I was watching this thing, it's like, uh, you know, like, uh, slash R, uhm, interesting as fuck or whatever, like, you know, those, those things, they always have like, this is how they strip mine a coal mine now, and it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see this guy with a GoPro crawling in this really, really, really, really small area that he, like, that they've, that they've just like stripped mind out, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just can't get out of it, like, and it's impossible to, like, backtrack and, like, oh fuck, there's just no room to do it and you're just stuck. Oh god, it's like a nightmare. I don't know how they do it. God bless them for doing it, but fuck me. I would never do it. I would, I would shoot myself before I had to do that. I'd be so scared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to Marbella, just do like two weeks, no carbs before Marbs, get there, have the time of your life, come home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they do. They actually fly everywhere. But for a thousand pounds, I don't know. If you're wanting to just get a flight within the limit of that voucher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like looking at lights on a tree. I like taking my kids to look at lights on a tree, but I don't need to fucking remember it for the rest of my life. Like, Jesus, it's just like, you're enjoying the moment or whatever, but like, taking a fucking picture of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not against it. Don't get me wrong. If you want to take a picture, take a picture of whatever the fuck you want. I'm curious to know. Is that going in their scrapbook? What they're doing with this after they've taken it or it, like you said, if it's just like a fire and forget it is so disposable. I was just curious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes I'll take a picture of something at a store because I can't be bothered describing it so then I can just like show it to my wife like, oh yeaah, I saw this toilet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but what would you do if you took a picture of your freshly shaved scrotum? I guess you could take a picture and send it to your wife if she wasn't at home at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of all the demands, like already on you sort of thing, right? Like there's a lot of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been doing recently, which has actually incredibly, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's a dumping ground, right? Like, because it's right by the, like the door that we're using to get into the house currently. So the kids get in from school, their bags go on there, hats, scarves, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've both been like really proactively, like the minute anything is on the kitchen table, we put it somewhere or throw it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, man, it makes such a big difference. Like, just having a clear, for us, kitchen table, but also kitchen counters as well. We're keeping those clear too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just like, uh, it's such a game changer. It's such a small thing, but if you do keep on top of it, it, the, uh, the peace of mind is, uh, is amazing. And again, it is such a small thing, but it's worth it. It totally is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I do that, I sometimes do that. I sometimes do that where I'm like, I'm gonna take like this day off and I'm gonna do all this stuff and then I'll take the day off and I'll be like, holy shit, I got this whole day. I could really get stuck into like a big session of hearts of iron or like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure, you know why, I'm sure Wisconsin is fine. I'm sure it's just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quickly, I don't, I don't want to get into it, but off the back, watching that big documentary series on the, uh, the Holocaust in the U.S. and the Holocaust, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, people's like perceptions of, of fascism and really just how early the whole sort of transformation, uh, leading up to like the Holocaust started. And, uh, it's, it's so gradual, but it's, it's, it's frightening that people can be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lead down this path so gradually and then arrive at just such a, such an awful place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just becomes normalized, like all these little things that change in their society, like towards becoming very...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Came out with like, just this really racist anti-Semitic remark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, holy shit, like it was just like one of those, those moments where he was just like, what the fuck are we doing? Like what have we, what have we done? Like what have we become where this is, this has become normalized and like my three year old kid has said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's wild to think. It's interesting stuff to read about too. Just how impressionable we can be and if you apply that to some of the people that become like really radicalized and stuff like that, it's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, hello, welcome. You were late this morning, P-Flex, so me and P-Flex- I wasn't late! Sorry, Sips. Me and P-Flex were talking about games. What game is this? Anno. I've been playing Anno. Ah, okay. And I love Anno games. That's anno from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason I got back into it is because I think I've subscribed to a bunch of subreddits and they kind of function as like pseudo adverts, right? Every now and then I get like a pop-up from Hearthstone or, um, Factorio or Anno and so, and that pulls me back in and I'm like, wow, that guy's doing something really cool. I've got an itch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was nice. It was good fun. Yeah. Well that's no, that's no mean feat. No. It takes a couple of hours to get all that going properly. It does, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it isn't immensely satisfying to like have to mega, like put these mega things down, right? I think that was one of the things I liked about Minecraft when we were playing some of the mod packs was making these mega blocks, you know, and like putting together these huge structures that did things and it just felt so, I don't know, like so cool to interact with the world in such a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the thing is, when it comes to Anno and Factorio and Satisfactory, these games are jobs, right? They're chores. It's like, you are basically taking on, usually, it's like, but it's in the same way as building a jigsaw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have, I have the opposite. I have real trouble letting go of it, and suddenly it's 2am, and I'm, and I haven't peed for an hour, and I'm like, y'know, I haven't drunk anything for three hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've all experienced this. Cause we always just think, oh best if he must have gotten lucky. And sometimes you've got lucky, right? Sometimes I've played these games where I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and I clicked and suddenly it struck me in the head and I was like, what the fuck? I completely did that by accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, but here's the thing, right? Like when they did that, so that was how it was originally with Fall Guys, and Fall Guys was very popular because all these streamers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can actually drive away, and I think this is, but the game, what I heard, you know, it's kind of a horrible thing to say, but they drove away the streamers who were promoting their game by making the game fair. And the big, when you're streaming the game, you want to feel, when you're enjoying the game, you want to feel powerful, you want to win, right? And you want to crush noobs. But at the same time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's nowhere near where it was though, and you know, when it had its, its heyday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's gone full, full Fortnite with the skins and the, you know, and all that crazy stuff. But I think that, you know, there is a limited lifespan to these things. Not every game can be evergreen, right? It can still be a fun experience, but I think Fall Guys as well, like, is a, is a fast experience, right? Like it's pretty intense, pretty quick and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that can be exhausting, right? If you've got like, if you're playing Mario Party, you can't play Mario Party for like a marathon of 18 hours, right? You can maybe do a couple of hours of it and realise, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, factorial or satisfactory, right? Where you've, you've, you, you're making such gradual steps in progress that you're keen to come back and make the next one. As long as it's divided up well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uhm, it can, it can have the sort of a problem of overwhelming, like, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like I've not done this well or I don't want to have to do this again. I think I've, I've come to enjoy the beauty of the games more over time as well. I think, I think a lot of people play Anno with a very min max attitude. Like I'm going to try and get as many people, you know, with just a numbers game, right? Yeah. Many people on as many islands as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, fuck everything else kind of thing. I'm going to just try and get to the cap and see how many 17 billion people I can fit on these islands or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like shit every fucking time. So, for example, I play a lot of board games, uhm, and I played this game on board game arena called Tapestry, which is kind of like a Civilization style game, and I played a bunch of it. I played probably 10, 15, 20 games on Tapestry, right? Online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not good, right? I'm still like a novice or whatever rank, right? I'm not good. There's a couple of other games on there, I'm like fucking ranked as like master and I've played them like three times somehow. And so I went round to a friend's birthday party at the weekend and he was like, oh I've got


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They crushed me. They absolutely crushed me. And I knew exactly what I was doing. I was like telling them things. I was like, halfway through I was like, you guys need to stop listening to my tips because I'm fucking losing this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More wholesome. I mean, me and Ben talk about this a lot and about the idea of versus games and I think that's the main reason we don't like playing Warhammer is because you're playing against someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's basically just a single player game where you split it off into four characters, kinda like across the obelisk or something, you know, it's hard to not just have one guy be like constantly basically just playing the four characters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it doesn't happen so much with, like, For the King I found, you know, but in a similar vibe, you know, like, it's hard to design a game that is, where you're on the same team but not, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been going through some of the, um, some of the game, like best of last year's games, um, which I missed. I've been playing this sort of point and click called Norco. Oh, is it any good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is like, it's, it's pretty, it's pretty compelling. Yeah. I think it's like, it's, it's, it's pretty gripping. It obviously is a point and click and there's a lot of story stuff and the point and click is pretty basic. You know, it's not like too cryptic. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I think that at the same time, that everyone's got their own perspective. I think they should all be in jail. Everyone's got their own life that's happened to them and their own situation, right? In context, you know, his actions may well be explainable, I'm not saying they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in a sense, like maybe a lot of, a lot of crimes, a lot of crime stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't go, doesn't go punished, right? Most people who are caught are caught because they made a mistake or there was a lucky break or there was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there was some sort of moment where they fucked up or didn't know something or were ignorant, right? Like basically, it's a common thing where people can, you'd be surprised how easy it is to get away with crime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Passion element, right, to a lot of crimes, like a lot of people who were caught.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Idea that you could have, uhm, you could have been overwhelmed with emotion and have taken actions that were not you. They have the same encounter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I think in some cases that's, in a lot of cases that's used as an excuse, right, because what other excuse is there, you know, in, in many cases, like they, if someone gets caught or, or, and usually they get caught again by something like, like I was watching this thing the other day where a guy wanted to kill his wife and so he, he, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost got him on it because every car these days, it's not that old, has like a black box kind of in it, you know, or a little tracker that says like the last things that were done. And it showed that he didn't press the brake. He didn't try and swerve. He didn't try and, you know, there were no tire marks on the road. And as a result, it was kind of this thing where it's like, he had 10 seatbelts on. He was really strapped in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well actually I think that is the other thing, I think he went into the brace position, um, because he was in the, he was a pilot, right, and so he, he, and I think they could tell he went to the brace position because of one of the injuries, like, I think his wristwatch, like, like, left an imprint in his forehead or whatever, you know, so it showed that he had his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To some extent though, like, it's, it's, I'm not saying I know the answers to any of these cases, but I think what happens is that people often feel they have no choice, right? These guys, maybe what they've done is they've done something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wrong or bad or, you know, something they feel that there's no coming back from and then they just keep taking further steps, right? So it's like maybe he did something like, I don't know. Oh God, I don't even want to speculate what he did, but you know, maybe he did something that he felt was, was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just trying to figure out what, but this is not a new thing, right? This is not a thing. Look, trifles don't have the most nuanced takes on this, I'm sure, as usual. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that, why does this keep happening? It's always, it's happened so much, like there must be something going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, you're right. Cause everyone, you've always met like an insane man or an insane woman. You've thought, fuck, I'm going to avoid them. But then someone who's actually insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think the crazy people get, get looked after by people around them and, and brought down. You know, like, you see these couples with like the crazy one and the normal one, right? And you're like, oh my god, what a guy or what a girl like sticking with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loser or that nutcase, right? But, but yeah, like I guess, look, every situation's gotta be different and so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to make a simple sentence to explain why people do these awful things is like really fucking hard. Oh my god. To try and figure it out. Yea, like we just don't, we just, we just, sometimes it's astonishing what people will do. And shocking too, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you could understand that, that people can change or should be able to or else why don't we just hang them? Uhm, and, and we've, you know, I think you, you, it's easy for someone on the outside to say oh, he killed his wife, let's put him in prison for the rest of his life and not know all the circumstances and the real, the real,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, first of all, before we get onto that, I think this idea is deeply ingrained in the idea of justice or like payback and it's hugely complicated and it's actually informed a lot by culture too, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would we risk leaving someone that bad alive? You know, I think a lot of this stuff is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, ingrained in us, right, as, and somewhat like even a debated thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In American politics, you know, it's a very Republican idea, isn't it? To see justice done. It's a very South thing to like, you know, see, you know, see someone who's done wrong. The death penalty and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And people, people satisfied by that. And it's certainly a common thing in other parts of the world too still, you know, criminals are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in that sense, what actually would happen was, that would feed the lunatic argument that it didn't- the holocaust deniers. It's like, oh well they let-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, do you know what I mean? Like it would, I think in hindsight it would, right? Like I think at the time they were not thinking, oh, I think no one's thinking let's not kill Hitler because... Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what I mean? Like I think that that would be another, I think in a sense that's a different thing, right? That's an incredibly political, and sometimes these things are done in a political way. Sometimes these things are used as symbols, even today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there was a political decision that that was the way they were gonna do it. It was gonna be, that's, that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's not have a, let's not allow him to, to continue to, to, to say he spout rhetoric and drive things and make this story longer and potentially inspire more action. I think it was also because he was considered a combatant. They were like, can we kill him? Legally? I guess we can. Let's do it then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of a very political thing rather than a domestic thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to explain, but I think the problem with politics is, is trying to look into the future and make decisions into the future with an ever-changing global landscape and ever-changing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Idiots in charge. And we've always had idiots in charge making these decisions and making selfish decisions and making decisions for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or their community or, or, or their selfish interests or, or whatever motivates humans. Because like you said, you know, the reason the death penalty is a bad idea is because there's corrupt cops, there's corrupt justices, there's bad justice system, there's lazy people. It's done by humans. Humans are shit at everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and yes, we're good at a lot of things, but we're fallible and when you have these political choices, you don't know what the impact is going to be. You know, do we let Hitler survive? We don't know what the impact of that will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as a result, you will make bad decisions because they, you don't know whether they, you don't know what history will bring. And so it's inevitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well again, that's part of the problem of politics in general. I think the problem with politics in general is that the system is destined to fail, right? Because anyone who gets into fail will make mistakes, will upset people, things will go wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then people will get slowly disillusioned with them until they vote for the other people who are promising change and then they will go ahead and do the exact same thing. They'll do the best they can, inverted commas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also it's striving for goodness, right? Everyone is always wanting it to be better and wanting it to change and wanting to improve. And I think that part of our system is to argue and to push and to be stressed and to be angry, right? Because that's how you force through change, right? I think when you get into politics and you're interested in politics, you get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you, you don't get it without it. You don't get things changing without people complaining about them, right? And, and you don't get things being better without people complaining. Someone has to say, oh, that fucking, uh, you know, light bulb needs changing, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a- I'm not a- I'm not a scientist or a political scientist anymore. You're not either! Um, whatever. Well, that's not this fucking podcast right now! I used to be. I used to be a scientist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think that almost like some of these systems like in the same way that Tarkov or Dota makes you feel a certain way and there's a certain level of toxicity and I can't quite put my finger on why. I think politics makes you angry and feel hopeless and feel stressed and feel like people are useless and I think it's kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard thing to get through and we're not very good at explaining our thoughts but it's complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm honestly stunned that such, that in the face of such vicious cancellation of some, some groups of people have, have done a great job, um, causing people to get cancelled, right? Are you trying to say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why people need to be angry, right? And passionate and have the vigor and effort and like, you know, where would they all to go out there and actually, you know, force and, you know, push through change and not just sit back. It's not going to fucking happen unless people get their arses. I guess if politics wasn't annoying, you know, we wouldn't make progress. That's the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it comes to like, the royals and religion, they, it's just, it's been happening for a long time, but there's like, they're slowly building this brick wall of like, they're killing themselves, aren't they, right? They're slowly dying. These old institutions that, quite frankly, we don't need anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, you're wrong, because the AI learns based on what we've taught it, so it's just going to public or parrot all the Republican nonsense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man. Yeah, loads of people watching. There they go. Uhm, that was a, that was a Triforce podcast. Wow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to us is painful for some of you young, woke political scientists out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, you didn't like it? Oh, I watched, uh, We Have a Ghost. It was unbelievably shit. It was so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't they, they had a really good one recently about, remind me, jog my memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always amazed by how quickly they can produce an episode as well, so that it's still current. I think that's been the winning formula for them all these years.

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It's almost like doing a podcast, right? Like they can just get something out very quickly. But even then, even, even, even producing something that quickly, the writing in it is often very funny as well. So it's pretty incredible.

[Assistant] There's certain jobs that I have decided I would never do. Uh, one of them is looking after anybody else. Uh, any job that involves wiping somebody's ass or washing them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not, it's not so bad. It really isn't so bad. But I would not want to wipe a grown man's ass or a grown woman's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could just free flow into that bag and then nobody would have to, um, sort you out. It just means that like after a certain point, obviously you'd have to return to base and.

[Assistant] My friend took a shit into a margarine container and sealed it and opened it in a car during the winter when all the windows were closed. Let me tell you, nobody's shitting into a container or a jug inside a tank. That's close quarters. Everybody's going to be sick. Like that smell would be overwhelmingly bad.

[Assistant] When your ass is in your hole. When you're in the hole. I've been watching that. I watch Band of Brothers in the Pacific and that is my big takeaway. There's always some guy who's yelling at everybody during the battle, you know, he's running around saying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you gonna be careful though? If I'm ruining somebody, if I pull my pants down too far, they're seeing my ball sack and everything. Yeah, it's dangling. You really have to be careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, being somebody, I know obviously about dick pics and dick pic sharing and stuff, but I've never taken the picture of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is, so what, what, if, is a dick, is a dick pic just, you're taking a picture of your flaccid ass dick or? No, you get it hard, I believe. You get it hard and you grip it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but I mean like if you look, you think of like old magazines, like you know when you were a kid and the magazines in the woods and stuff, like Hustler and Playboy and stuff, they would like, they would do up like the pussies and stuff, right? I never, I don't remember ever seeing pictures of dicks. What do you mean? Really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what they would do, but if you're just sending me a dick pic, you've just woken up and you just pull down your underpants and take a picture of your, you know, your sagging genitals.

[Assistant] With a whole bunch of baby parrots, he had like 10 baby parrots and, uh, as it went on, the parrots got older and older and they were like, um, like he was like, he, he had like bonded to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. It would've been like, it would've been pretty time-lapsed, though, because these par- I don't know how quickly a parrot grows, but- I mean, they were really like, y'know, y'know when they don't even have feathers and stuff? Like, they were small, and then all of a sudden, they had plumage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think with a lot of this stuff though, there is a, there is a notion that uhm, anyone can, anyone can make it, anyone can do it, anyone can go viral, and that's true, anyone can, really. But, it's just so rare, you know, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you, you'll get through your whole life and you'll probably never know somebody who's had a viral thing on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that, that franchise needs a board game for sure. Like why, what is, what, why? I mean, it's probably going to be pretty good because I think people who design this stuff normally know what they're doing. But is it just like, are they just using the, like the, the imagery and all that stuff from Apex? I think it's tough, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poker, uh, well I don't know, I've never played poker at a casino, I played like blackjack and slots and stuff, like uhm, you're right though, like doing it at home feels like you're doing it because you just desperately want to gamble, whereas I feel like going to the casino, you can do other stuff while you're there, like it's more of an experience, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I, I like, you know, like I will go to the casino for fun with like my friends, with like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, with an amount of money in my mind that I'm willing to sort of like spend that evening and not go over a sort of thing. And that's pretty fun. I used to go to one in Ottawa, well it was like in Gatineau.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they had like, uh, you know, electronic horse racing and, and like slots and they had like those fucking, um, was it Keno? Was it Keno? Keno, yeaah. Yeah, they had like all that shit. Eh, it's just fun, you know, like it's just whatever, like we just go for a couple hours and get some food and stuff and it was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's a, it's a type of content, which I think is, is more the, you, you, you can all, you can, you can, you can sort of like narrow your, uh, your choices down by just doing the same thing, right? And then you become known as the person who just does that one thing. And that's fine as long as you're doing that thing, but it's really hard to branch out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still play, I still game, well I game much more than I ever did, but there was definitely a point where I wasn't gaming as much as I wanted to, and that was when I was creating a lot of YouTube


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Content because it was very bursty. You would record for a couple of hours, but then you would spend double triple that trying to edit a whole bunch of stuff together and posting it and everything. And for me, the big change came when I started streaming more, uh, because I found that I was just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just playing games for a lot longer, which is what I always wanted to do. And, uh, and now, and now I just play like, you know, like I'll, I'll stream a game all day and sometimes I'll, I'll stream again in the evening later on. Like if I come back out to play more of the same game or whatever, like I'm kind of bingey with games. I always have been like, if I get into something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm into it, you know, like maybe that'll last for a week or maybe that'll last for a couple of months or whatever. But like, I still love getting a game, enjoying it, figuring it out, you know, like getting to the point where I'm just done with it. You know what I mean? Like I still go through those motions with games, like after


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Creating uhm, you know, YouTube and Twitch and content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For like over 10 years, like I, my, my habits of, of gaming are just, are more or less the same. Like I don't really see gaming as like, oh, I hate it now because I'm, I'm a streamer or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I would always be looking for reasons to play games like no matter what. I would always be trying to get out of work or out of anything just so I could chill out and play some games sort of thing. So I don't think I've changed much.
