[Assistant] They lived in these really small tenements, like eight people to a basically a bed-sit sort of thing. So lots of people were outside all the time because nobody wanted to fucking be in, in there, right? So there's a lot of kids just running around in the streets and stuff like, cause


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because why not? You know, you might as well, like, if your whole neighborhood is outside, you might as well just be out there too. So his, his, his, his grandmother,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could hear the birds in the morning, but over the sound of the rats chewing away,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause my buddy, you know Munticus, right? So my buddy, uhm, he, uh, he streams, he's got these cool transition effects and videos and stuff, and I was like, oh shit, I gotta get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, no, cause I'd never use it, but what I am gonna get is, uhm, you know the old Batman, dillililililili, I wanna get one like that, but with my face, so zoom in and out, which I think would be funny. I've messaged Sam to see if he can help me out. You won't need to now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've gotta promote things if you're working on them, otherwise what's the point? You can't just do the work and be like, fuck the fucking stupid movie, I don't fucking care if you watch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a, there is a very funny YouTube interview with, uh, Billy Bob Thornton. Cause you know, you know, he's an actor, right? But he also, like a lot of these stupid actors, he decides to be a musician as well, even though they're very bad. So there's an interview-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've stopped in the most recent series because it started getting boring. Every episode was getting very samey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was too many episodes, but yeah, because the nature of it is very repetitive as you find out when you watch it. Why? But it's like, I don't need this. Like there were three or four episodes they could have done without. I watched a show called The Sinner on Netflix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's only 8 episodes, and so they're tight episodes, good characters, great acting, and I was like, this is what I want, like I don't want 23 episodes where most of it is filler, it's just boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to, I went to Stockholm, um, for, uh, dream league, which is a Dota tournament. I went out there. That was a lot of fun. I loved. Did you cast it? Uh, no, I was the co-co-co-host. So Shiva was the host and I was the co-co-host, the co-co-host.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a really nice to- you know, tournament is very relaxed, there's a lot of fun and- So you were on the main desk where you were with Shiva just kind of introducing the games. Shiva's had the desk and then I was on the couch. I was like the Andy Richter to Conan O'Brien for anyone that knows that show. Right, yes, perfect analogy. I was that guy. Isn't he like kind of bald?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched the movie, uhm, what's it called? It's got, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Natalie Portman in Annihilation, it's called. Black Swan. Not Black Swan, Annihilation. It's good, it's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I did that and then my dad's over, um, from Florida for the week, uh, so we've been hanging out and we're going to go into London today for my special big meeting. What do you mean special big meeting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, it's, it's uhm, it's with the, I'm meeting some, some people at the government who are in charge of digital stuff. Right. Fuck me, okay. And they want to understand how to make eSports better in the UK.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we've got- Of course they do. We've got two big eSports events coming this year. Uh, one in Birmingham in May. The, the, the first Dota Major in the UK. Which is gonna be fantastic. I'm getting to that. And then- In Birmingham? In Birmingham, yeaah. Which is, which is a really good choice. For a number of reasons. Mainly because London didn't give a shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they asked London, like they, you know, the people of, not the people of London, not like a street pole, but like whoever's in charge, you know, the mayor and all his cronies or whatever, they were like, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They sold, it was the fastest selling ESL event, all the rest of it. Like the UK market is super hungry for us to actually have some events. So that's good. So I'm going to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, I always find in those kind of situations, you'll sit on a chair and someone you don't know very well will perch on the arm of the chair. Awkward. Yes. So desperate for a place to sit. Yes. That's super awkward. I always just say, oh here, please sit down and try and get out of there as quick as possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, in the UK, if you have a mental illness problem, you can go to the NHS, homeless or not. But in America, if you don't have money, you're just gonna have to be crazy for the rest of your life. Because once the crazy sets in, how are you gonna make enough money? It's like a vicious cycle. And then it leads to these problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so in 2017 there were 7,499 homeless people in San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like he's more of a street entertainer. Yeah, I think that's what he is, yeah. But he's been doing it for, uh, what, 38 years now, the Bushman. I assume he doesn't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god, let me tell you guys, let me tell you guys about one of the worst experiences of my life that I had. Go on. This is not as bad as the homeless thing, but I wanted to kill myself, okay? So, this was last weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. F says, don't forget, I booked us tickets to go to the ballet. I was like, what do you mean, don't forget? You never told me this. She was like, yeah, yeah, I emailed you. So, while I was away and busy working, she'd message me some shit about how she'd booked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we go to this theatre, it's packed, and I was like, I'll have an aisle seat, I'll just nod off, no problem. Mrs. F has booked us, front row, centre, right? So there's no escape, the performers are looking right at me, and I said to her,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is gonna be like, like half an hour, 40 minutes. She goes, oh no, it's an hour and a half. I was like, you've gotta be fucking kidding me. Oh my god. Do you get an intermission? There was an intermission, but that just made it worse because it's like a- Ice cream?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeah, thankfully it wasn't a bunch of kids fucking it up. Like, it was professional dancers, but, and they were all so skinny. Like, I like, I like a woman with a bit of meat on her, you know? They were all just these skinny bitches doing their stupid hippity hop. There's like four moves in ballet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's one where they go up and down a bit on one foot, then there's the one where they sort of glide a little bit, flap on their arms, they spin around occasionally, and then there's one where they jump a little bit. And they just did that. And I was like, how the fuck, without the narration, how the fuck are you meant to know what the fuck is going on? It's ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not once, no. Okay, okay. So you get points if you win, if your team, the team that you had set to win, wins the game. Right, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bonus points if you get the score spot on, right? So like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say it was Portugal and Spain, you know, Spain won three to two or something like that. Uh, and I, and I guess that I get six points, but otherwise if, if Spain just wins like two to one because I put Spain down to win, I get two points. So I'm currently at 24 points. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And two of my other friends are at 36 points, and my other friends at 28 points, so I'm dead last. Hmm, okay. There's not much in it though, like, like most of what we predicted is like kind of the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they need to do a thing where they, at the end of like full time of the game, uhm, there's like a little break period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50 penalty shots. That would be so fucking great, wouldn't it? Holy shit, that would be so exciting. Uhm, so then, and then imagine trying to predict the, like, the goals of the game. It's like, yeaah, looks like Portugal won 30-2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not the man of the house. He needs a, he needs a Jeeves for his Jeeves, like a sub Jeeves. You need to get like a hierarchy in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More Jeeves, like underneath the Jeeves. Yeaah, hierarchy of Jeeves. I would save up all of my money, all of my salary, and I would hire help so that I had an easier time. I'd never be able to provide for my family, but at least I'd have an easier time at work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, those are the best friends as well, aren't they? Cause you just have so much history with them. You don't, and you don't have to talk about boring stuff. You never really talk about work or anything. Like you, you, you sort of like have similar views cause you grew up together and you, you come from the same place and everything. And it's nice to, it's nice to catch up with friends like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's lots of stickers, like I, I, I mean the number goes up to like 650 or something. It's a pretty big sticker book. Okay. And uh, so he opens his pack of stickers and he looks at all these people and he doesn't recognize any of them. He put like three stickers in and he's like, I'm exhausted, I'm gonna have to do more tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you left the office at 11 o'clock at night after a stream and there was a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, of course, I grew up with it and everybody, everybody, it was a big thing when, you know, every morning at school, everybody would talk about the games that were played the night before and stuff and everybody was into it. We played a lot of hockey, like a recess and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, like everybody was, was like super super into hockey. Like we had like sticker books and cards and- Hey, you know those sticker-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. 500 quid. It's like hearthstone. You know, you get packs of stickers and you get doubles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole concept of a whale isn't new though. I remember when I was a kid with those sticker books and stickers, there was always one kid that had almost the whole thing completed and got way more stickers than everybody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, we had a similar kid, I think it was like his uncle owned a convenience store nearby. So every fucking time something came out, like new trading cards, new stickers or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All you'd hear about is this fucking guy's uncle in this fucking convenience store and he'd go, he'd go and his uncle would give him a whole box of stickers. Like, you know, cause you know, they come in those, those boxes that are like perforated. They can take like the front off of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they just leave them sort of like at the cash. Yeah, yeah. When you go up and then it makes you buy more stickers or whatever. I don't know what the psychology is, but like, so he get like a whole box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had this, this guy, he, uh, like we were, we were kinda friends with him, but not, not like super close friends with him. And he was the first person at our school who got a Super Nintendo when they came out, okay? Oh yeah. And he had Super Mario World.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was, it was winter, it was super depressing outside, there was tons of snow and everything, and we somehow managed to convince this guy to invite us over to his house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we've, we wanted to play Super Nintendo. Like, you know, this, this was new. It was just out. Nobody else had one. Nobody played Super Mario World. It was, it was brand new. Everybody's super excited and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he was, he was, he, he'd bring the instruction manual for the game to school, okay? We were like nine at the time. And uhm, and, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god, it was pretty funny though. Like looking back now is pretty funny, but the time, holy crap, I've never been angrier. Like when I was a kid, I think that was the angriest I ever was. I was furious. Oh god, I was just the audacity of the whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No! These are like, these are like, uh, kids, kids, kids that your kid goes to school with, parents. These are people you don't know. Like, I don't know any of these people. I don't know what they do, I don't know their background, like, fuck that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was important. I remember going to a girls house. It wasn't like, I was at the age where I had crushes on girls. Right. But it wasn't like, I was still young. I wasn't going to like a girls house at that age to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know those, you know those, those guys that have like collections of Star Wars figures like in a room all on the walls and ceiling and they're all in the plastic and stuff? Her basement was like that. It was fucking micro machines everywhere. It's like the only toy she ever got for like 10 or 11 years of her life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's hilarious. People's older sisters were always like, uhm, I dunno, like, I feel like you've got it coming up, Flax, you're gonna have teenage girls. I'm gonna have a teenage girl to live with and cope with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to go to my friend's house in the summer and he had an older sister who was hot too. And everybody wanted to go to his house because he had a swimming pool, but because she loved swimming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay yeaah. Ottawa will be starting to get cold. Usually like end of October. Like I remember Halloween's trick or treating and it was like snowing a lot. Right. So like usually end of October sort of like mid November. It's too far right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's on vacation right now, and we sort of put two and two together and figured he's at the World Cup with his dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So his, his dad is a fucking hero. Because he just, he just took this kid out of school against all of the rules to take him to the World Cup. And then everybody else has to fucking take their kids on, uh, on a vacation during like these predefined...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, stretches of dates, weeks or whatever where all the prices are like 500% more than they normally are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where I, that's how I've done so well. I've worked on my massive male titties and I think that's what keeps people coming back day after day after day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and in Bristol of all places too, this town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jerry dislocates his arm, uh, and says that he was mugged in the park, but he wasn't mugged in the park. He dropped like his breakfast burrito in the stream and he fell into the stream, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gets the presentation all set up and everything and he's, he's, you know, he's still like traumatized from what happened, he's injured and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the whole, like, I'm only at the end of season 2 but I like the little stories, like I like Anne and Mark and now Mark has like quit and they broke up but like Andy and April have like this really awkward sort of like thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the flow for all of the Game of Thrones books was great. I love that. I love that it didn't just give you what you wanted like all the time. You had to sort of get through other characters and they were interesting and stuff too. I thought the pacing was fucking phenomenal actually. It was really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, but I felt that maybe this was going to usher in an era where people were upfront and honest, because he's such a big influence on people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so last night Dr. Disrespect posted a video, when I say he came out, he didn't come out as a homosexual, what he came out as was, he said he was, he, he cheated on his wife. Right. And he's taking a break from streaming and all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you know, we've all been at big conventions and stuff like that, and you know, even a crusty old star like me has had offers, but it does happen. So I'm looking at how fucking many offers and how many gorgeous titty streamers is the doc getting offers from? Just imagine that. He's the number one guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not enough there for the nerds, is what I would say. If you think about Game of Thrones, that was real nerdy, but now that's mainstream. So all the people I know that are like, mega nerds, are like, oh, Wheel of Time is the superior series now. You know, it's like, they've gotta find the next, they're almost like hipsters. They don't want to admit they're hipsters, because they probably hate hipsters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now sci-fi has become, you've almost gotta be a sci-fi hipster, cause you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There haven't really been many good living on another planet, like in our solar system, similar kind of tech to us games. Like I remember there was a, I mean Kerbal Space Program is one I dip in and out of now and again, and that's just fun. Yeah, it's awesome. Because I love the faces of the lads of the Kerbal guys when they get panicked. Shitting their pants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's not true. What I hate is when people have an opinion and they're like, I didn't like it and the best reason they can give is other people will like it and I don't like the company that made it. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's where your Porg comes in. It can't be ultra- You will have seen it in the trailer. They're adorable. And I- I- Lewis was saying when he went to Japan, he saw- he saw a bajillion of them, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what, like, for instance, I'm talking to Ben, and he hates Harry Potter. Now I'm no big Potter fan, alright? I tease my wife about the fact that she's read all the books all the time. I'm never gonna read the books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. 2018 was Bodega 2, but no, we'll, we are close, we are close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing, if you're sick, right, I was sick for like three weeks, and, cause I had a sub meetup, so a bunch of my Twitch subs met up with me in London, and we all had a great day, we did all kinds of cool stuff, it was a lot of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you talk to someone you know who lives miles away that is also sick at the same time with the same kind of symptoms, that's what makes me fear that when we talk about the future of the human race, it ain't gonna be some fucking meteor, it's gonna be a disease. It will. Some disease is gonna come along and kill us all. It'll be like that super bug in the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's airborne. I've never read the book, but I watched this old film called The Andromeda Strain, which I'm sure they're gonna remake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They find this, this, this uhm, they send this thing into space to grab something from a meteorite and then come back to Earth. And it's like caught a piece of this organic material and brought it back. It crash lands in this town and the military goes to retrieve it, but the entire town is dead. Apart from two people, a screaming baby and an old man. Okay, and they have to figure out what killed them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're like, okay. So they take him to this special facility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they, they've got this, uhm, they've got the two survivors and they've got the, the, the pod where the, the thing must be in. And they go through all this ridiculous, very scientific and sort of, you know, believable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That comet that's coming through the solar system at the moment, it's like a meteor. It's like a cigar shaped, right? So it's like ten times as long as it is wide. So it's like a big flying dick in space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, you know, what if it grazes the atmosphere, bits of it gets shredded by the gravity and the heat and everything and fall to earth and bingo, you suddenly got some new ingredients in the pot. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it would obviously be such a subtle change, but that's all it takes for me to get sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you know, you know Georgia or G-Star, right? So she's here, she's a streamer and, uh, she lives in Manchester. She's one of the many people that's come down for Christmas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they have to change it. Because the problem is, all you have to do is change it slightly and say, no, no, no, no, this isn't so-and-so, this is blah-blah. See, it's a completely different chemical formula. So, I'm pretty sure spice is illegal, but it's in Manchester and Doncaster, because Monkfish was saying that he has it in Doncaster as well. These guys, it's not just like they get drunk and pass out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This stuff is, it like makes them absolutely insane and they're just hopeless. Like their lives are ruined by this stuff. Apparently it's really big and pr-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spiceheads. Spicers. We call them the, um, one of the shy-halood, the great worm. Right. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thing is, you like, you couldn't even rely on animals to teach you which ones were good to eat, cause animals can eat all kinds of shit that's poisonous for us or will kill us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the caveman dog name? We've got Ug, Ugina, and Krug, sadly, who's dead. Krug. So you'd need a dog. Krug, sad. Krug, grow up. Krug, dead. Krug, face planting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would a caveman's dog be? I think it would just be called dog. Like, pretty, pretty caveman. Dog dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Samuel Pepys was like, for anyone that doesn't know, he was a, he was a diarist, very famous diarist. He was like, he was a reasonably important guy, like he had pretty important jobs in his day, I think he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, he's not that far removed. 300 years isn't really that long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for human beings, that's like, well, it is for us. It is for us, but it's actually not that long. If you think about it, that's nothing. It's a blip. I mean, there are people that are over a hundred years old. So imagine three of those people. That's it. You're in Samuel Pepys' time. It's crazy. It just shows that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we're not. I'm just saying that if you can think about it, there are people who've been alive. I mean, I think one of the oldest people that was born in like 1898 was something ridiculous like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a lot of these dudes where it's just like, their birth certificate is just a handwritten note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they just kept in a bag. Yeah. In like a barn somewhere and they were like, yeah I was born in 1703, what of it? You're like, could you prove it? Well there's my birth certificate. Well it's just that it just, birth and certificate are both spelt wrong and there's no photograph and it looks like it's in your handwriting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're not, they're not, I think in general the Japanese lifestyle is quite healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in Twickenham, that's like an old folks home for actors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And stage performers, and they're all like super old, so you've never heard of any of them, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She went from a world with no cars to cars everywhere. Absolutely. Flight became a thing. We went into space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like an explosion in the number of people diagnosed with carpal tunnel, right? Before people knew what carpal tunnel was, of course there were no fucking people being diagnosed with it. Same with autism. Before it was fully understood, or as well as it is now, of course people weren't being diagnosed with it as much. There's not been an explosion in cases, there's been an explosion in diagnosis. That's the difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I think that's why sport is so popular. It's because essentially you're watching a struggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A physical struggle between two people often requiring strength or skill. And it's all, like, we love to watch sport where an object is thrown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or hit. Very accurately. Or kick. Like, there always needs to be a token involved. Tennis ball, football, basketball, baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, sort of a wow, isn't that cool. So yeaah. But I think a lot of sport, if you really look at it, we want to see crunching tackles and people getting kicked up in the air. We want to see amazing feats of dexterity and stuff like that. And I think that's the same kind of thing. As much as we would like to see Ugg really smash that wilderness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's true, although that would be awesome. But the thing is, movies didn't used to be this violent. TV didn't used to be this violent. When, when, there's a director called Sam Peckinpah, right, he directed a very famous western called The Wild Bunch, one of my favorite movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this was revolutionary in terms of the violence it portrayed on screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, you know, it's like that. So, nowadays, I mean, jeez, if you look at, like you were saying, that guy gets turned into confetti. That wouldn't happen in a movie 50 years ago. Especially a kids movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if this is about satisfying some innate desire in us to see people getting torn apart,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is it only now? Why didn't we have that previously? Or was it literally because that was most people's everyday for a very long time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think our daily lives are so non-violent and non-struggle based in the West that we're happy to see this kind of shit. We're just like, we're just like desensitized to it because we're not sensitive to it. I don't think we were ever desensitized to it, I just think we were never sensitive to it because it's just an alien concept to most of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so here's the question. Are those tiny cuts gonna heal, leaving a scar, or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at Woody Allen, dude's tapped mad amounts of fanny in his time I'm sure, he didn't do it on sex appeal, he did it on humor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you know what's weird is that, you know, he ran off with one of his adopted daughters, like Sun Yi, is that her name? So he was with Mia Farrow, they adopted a bunch of kids. They were like the first celebrity couple that I can think of to start adopting a shitload of kids, right? Like Madonna and what's her name, Jolie. Brangelina.

[Assistant] Well, you say that, I mean, here's the thing, I wonder if halfway in Woody Allen just thought, you know, this is pretty sweet, we can adopt some hot girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just wondering if he saw it like, you know what? We could adopt a hot teenager and then I could marry them. And that's exactly what happened. He adopted Sun Yi and then now they're a couple. It's fucked up. That's pretty fucked up. That's really messed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this is interesting. As of September 2016, Mia Farah has 11 living children. Four biological, seven adopted. Including her adopted daughter, Sunyi, from whom she's estranged. Yeah, no shit. Three of her adopted children, Tam, that's Tam, Locke, and Thaddeus are deceased. Alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pharoah and her former husband Andre Previn have three biological children, twins Matthew and Sasha and Fletcher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1973-1976, respected with their adopted Vietnamese infants, Lạc Sông Previn,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Mia Farrow then adopted five more kids in the 90s. Tam Farrow. Right, this is, I can't even pronounce it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then a guy called Frankie Min, then Isaiah Justice, and Gabriel Wilkfarrow, later known as Thaddeus Wilkfarrow, just change your name, and named after Elliot Wilk, the judge who oversaw their legal battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to do another playthrough. I did a couple and then I stopped for a bit and then, uh, yeaah, I need to do another one. Cause it was just brutal. Like I kept, what difficulty do you play it on? Rough. Oh wow. Cause I did that and every single time what would happen is, we'd suffer the heatstroke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'd almost all die, and then a massive fire would come, and I would be like, out of ideas. I had one that was like, there's a heat, there's a heatwave, and all your crops have blight, and you're being raided, and you're being raided again, and I was just like, god, there's no way out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a game one time where I had a guy called Mason who was like a cowboy type and he got a really, he was, he was our doctor for some reason cause no one else could do it. And the chef who was, who was prone to bouts of craziness fought our dog and the dog bit his arm so badly that it got a bad infection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we decided we're gonna have to- I think it was his leg actually. We decided we're gonna have to amputate it. And as Mason is amputating the leg, mid-operation, the infection clears up, but it's too late. So he just had to go through with it and cut up his leg. So he's walking around with a peg leg that he just didn't need. You're like, oh sorry!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dressed entirely in black, riding a black bicycle, like yea- I think he's transitioning into some kind of a ninja. Like that's my first thought, like he's actually becoming an assassin, an international assassin. He looks- he's got the live look of a Lebanese assassin, who's gonna sort of pop out of an alleyway and- and stab me in the throat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've sent away. Have you done that? Yeah, I sent away the DNA test. I sent it away the other day. It might have come back by now. Uh, when I, when I get back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you send away for this kit and you spit in a tube a bunch of times and then you send that in and some poor lab bastard has to deal with your spit and figure out what your genetic history is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, cause you mix it up with this, this blue water that's in there. So when you spit in there, you then seal it up. It's quite clever. You seal it up and this solution goes in. It's like a stabilizing solution. Oh, to keep it from drawing in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to find out what's, uh, you know, what's the background there? Cause I went on the, uh, ancestry and I was going back, uh, you know, through all my, my sort of family history and everything. Cause the kids are curious. They're like, why do we have a Scottish last name? Uh, but we've, we've never been there. And I was like, well, let's find out. So I like, I went back along and I found a guy. Yeah. Was his name Bruce? It was not, but very clever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He fucked off to Canada, because I've got tons of family in Canada, so he went from Scotland to Canada in like 1864 or something, and then started having kids out there, and so now I've got this huge swathe of Canadian relatives, and- Woah woah woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, it's a big place, Lewis. That's like when you say, when you're abroad and you say, oh, I live in London. Oh, really? Do you know my mate Terry? No. No, I don't know Terry. You know, it's a bit like that. Canada's a big place with a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, obviously, I think it was pretty hard not for relatives to be involved in the military back then. Like, it was everywhere. Like, my great-grandfather was a pilot in the First World War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beef then? He's just- Hey! Beef. It's a burger joint. Yeah, no, but like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just like, uh, 37, that's me. Thank you. I was like, nodding and holding up my thing and like, 37. I took it from him. He's like, yeah, 57. Yeah, you take the 57.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we got a back garden, uh, my wife, actually, my wife went to, we thought we had a back garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'll tell you all about my back garden. But my wife went to a kids party the other day, uh, and she just came back and she was like, holy shit, that person's house is fucking ridiculous. And I was like, oh my god. Like it's a couple of roads over from us. Their garden was the length of our entire house and garden. Like that was just their garden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she was kinda jealous of that, and she was like, oh man, their house was so beautiful, and it was all spic and span, and it was just stunning, and all the other parents are going, oh my fucking god, when we have to have them over to our house for a party, I'm gonna feel like scrubs, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is what it is, but we have a back garden that, it used to be like a really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe 13, and I've seen this guy one time only, one time in that entire period, and yet I've often seen light on in the night time, like in the downstairs, or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen maybe occasionally a light in the upstairs. It's very strange. I have watched it through binoculars because I'm so curious. I'll sometimes peek and see what the fuck is going on in this house. The upstairs back window, someone's put a wardrobe in front of the window so half the window is covered by a wardrobe which is not something you'd ever do if you were using that room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't need to escape. There's no one fucking there. Like, they have a lofcon version, but I've never seen a light one up there, so it's just an abandoned attic at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, about eight years ago, cause I've been really keeping an eye on this thing, cause it's so weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The upstairs window, so not the ground floor, the first floor, the back window there, it was fully lit up, right? There's no curtains in there, so no one ever uses that room. It's fully lit up, and I was like, I'm so curious, I gotta see what's going on in here. I've never seen that light on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I got my binoculars out, and I'm peeking through, and there's a guy in there, a youngish guy, and he's, he's got his hands on his hips and he's looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like the front door is so overgrown. There's all shit grown all over it. Like you just, you wouldn't think anyone lived there. You thought it was abandoned. There's like a cobweb over the door and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then a couple of days later, you'll see that all that's gone, and the door's clearly been opened. Like, there's sometimes recycling is left out, but sometimes it's just a stack of shit piled up on the- So it's like, what is going on with this house? And then to add to that, I found out that around the side there's a little path, and that actually the ground floor is one flat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the uppers, the upstairs is a second flat. So it's actually two separate apartments. But the door to get into the upstairs is literally...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely overgrown. It's like there's no way you could get into that door. It's so overgrown. There's wheat, there's so much vines and shit growing over it. It's like, what is going on with this house? Like this, the house is where I live, worth a lot of money. Why is, why is someone let this place go like that? It just blows my mind. And their back garden is an actual jungle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was a weed when we first moved in there is now a tree. There's a tree growing in his garden that's gone from weed to tree. It's so fucking big. Holy shit. Yeah, it's just the weirdest situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah, it's just like that. Sardines?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not, here's the thing. One of the guys, one time we were having a street party and there was a, one of the guys that lives in that road was in our street party and I said to him, do you know anything about the house? Are we back onto it? He's like, oh yeah, yeah. Uh, that guy lets me park my motorcycle in his, in his front garden sometimes cause it's, you know, there's no off-road parking around here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, in exchange for that, you know, I keep an eye on the house for him. I was like, where is he? He said, oh, he does a lot of business in Russia. That's what he said to me. He does a lot of business in Russia. So I was thinking, alright, maybe he's a businessman. Yeah, fair enough. But as time's gone on now, I'm starting to think maybe he's a fucking spy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they close off the street, we put up some bunting, a little tent goes up in the middle of our street, and our street and the next street will be invited, we'll have a barbecue, we had a hog roast the other year, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we all, you chip in and you get some live music and everything. It's good. It's really sweet. You meet all your neighbours that you never speak to for the rest of the year and, you know, cause it's London. Like I've got people, my entire relationship with them for the last six years has been, morning, morning, like that. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the, one of the golden rules that I thought was really true is, if you see someone in their front garden, it's perfectly alright to say, hey, how's it going? You talk to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you see someone in their back garden, you do not talk. Yeaah. Like that's like the private space. And I thought that was so true. Like if you're in your back garden, you pretend the other neighbors are not there. But when you're in your front garden, you're like displaying yourself like a peacock to the world you're available to be spoken to. I thought it was interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh shit, that reminds me, I've gotta do a lemonade stand this summer. I promised the girls for like the last two summers that they could do a lemonade stand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As well? No, I mean, they, they want, that's the thing. Now that, once I agreed to the lemonade stand...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the local council, they're trying to push their luck. Like they don't have a business license yet and they're already trying to expand their business enterprise. They want to offer ice creams now, old toys they want to be able to sell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, here's a pound in my pocket from 1983. Okay. So this coin is probably older than most of the people watching this podcast. So it's pretty fucking old. I was three when that was issued. There you go. The issue is they get forged a lot. Like I can't remember what the, the forgery rate is for pound coins. One in 30. It's, it's high. It's high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are the most secure coin in the world. Like if you look at them, they look like a nightmare to make, but they are absolutely fucking amazingly difficult to forge, I'm sure. It's got all kinds of details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you leave the 50p alone. It's like a fucking dinner plate in your wallet. You leave the 50p alone. It's a good coin, dude. They halved it. It was much bigger, and it was much, much, much bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the first hard copy of a bodega. And I need to figure out how to send myself the digital copy so I have it to go in the collection. Right, email it to yourself, how about that? Okay. Are you ready?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tamira sat back to the wall in the darkest corner as she had been trained. The Wallop Bar was a bar like few others. Instead of paying an entry charge, customers were expected to show a life insurance policy at the door. And those without weapons were turned away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had calculated her chances of making it out of this pit unharmed at around 40%, and death itself was around a 5% likelihood. Still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a chance to meet with Bodega, she figured the odds were in her favour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After half an hour, there he was. The man himself. Bang on time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A late person might have assumed Bodega would be one of those people that turned up fashionably late, but people who knew him knew that to Bodega, late was dead. Late was the guy hanging off the ramp of an evac ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Screaming for his compadres to rescue him. Late was a co-pilot mistiming the jump to hyperspeed and getting caught in an exploding nova.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Late was a philtruvian sliphound begging for mercy while a gunch-crunk smarkled like a trevenwonk at the biannual gremfrith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lake was nowhere. Bodega sauntered in without a care in the galaxy. Tamira felt her undergarments getting a little tighter, a little hotter. Yeah, so what? She'd always had a crush on Bodega. It didn't have any effect on her ability to do her job. That's why they could still work together from time to time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bodega scanned the bar casually, saw Tamara immediately, and began approaching. Tamara felt her face flush in response. Be cool, she told herself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men who fancied her didn't usually refer to her as Pard, but she reminded herself this was a business meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could do with a refill B, she said, swilling the last of her volvay all around the bottle to emphasise her point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bojaga turned to the bar and held up two fingers and took a seat across from Tamira. Within 20 seconds an eager bar boy pranced over with their drinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she stifled a smile. No matter how much of a badass a man was, she'd still never met one that could resist her ass in this outfit. Bodega and Tamira sat side by side, eyeing the bar for a good ten minutes before the man spoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the last five years, she'd been working as a spy. Mainly corporate stuff. High-end deals, companies trying to steal from one another, boardroom manipulation, twisting a campaign slogan towards strength or weakness, intel leaks, assassinations, and of course, some general admin work and making cups of scoffee. That kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there was a chance to test her metal with bodega. And maybe, if she was lucky, catch his eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's in it for me, she asked, trying to play it cool. Not much. Money, hopefully. Glory, maybe, said Bodega, downing his drink and ripping a vast cumulonimbus on his mega-vape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also Bodega began leaning in a little closer, much to Tamira's delight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not sure if you heard what happened to me, but we got farved over. Woman's name was Sheila. Well, that's what she went by. Let me guess, middle-aged appearance, frumpy, harmless, and made the best damn scoffy you've ever had, she smoked. Yep, that's the one, sideboat egga. She took about half a billion squirrels and made for the cosmos. Need some help tracking her down. Name's not Sheila, it's Wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shape-shifting son of a scrub, and he's a bad mother, Tamira was cut off mid-sentence by Bodega's expression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tamira, that bastard stole half a bill from me and in my book that means it's party time, said Bodega, pulling a second gun out of his coat with his other hand. Bodega, please, Tamira insisted, using her other hand to push the second gun aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tamira, I had let this fool get away from me, said Bodega, angling his left boot towards Wagon, a small lasgun barrel visible at the toecap. Bodega trust me, pleaded Tamira, using her right foot to angle Bodega's boot away from Wagon. We need to know who he's meeting first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was straddling him at this point, her back to waggon, her face close to the sinewy cowboy writhing below her. Bodega looked square into Tamira's eyes, his face full of fury. A braid of her hair slipped from her head and touched his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then her lips touched his, and suddenly Bodega had forgotten all about that varmint wagon as he and Tamira smooched like teenagers right here in the darkest corner of the Wallop bar and grill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, part, we'll play it your way, Sir Bodega. Breathless as their lips finally parted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, said Tamira, and honey, please don't call me Pard. Bodega tipped the brim of his hat and looked a tad sheepish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wagon, in Sheila form, was sat at a table around 30 meters away at the far side of the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bodega and Temera sank back into the shadows of their cubicle and watched as Wagon ordered a drink and eyed the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around fifteen minutes later, a figure in a dark red suit entered, face obscured by a desert cloak. They glanced around the bar and friendly took a seat across from Wagon, who pushed a package across the table towards the cloaked figure, who then pushed a small red disc across the table back to Wagon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You follow the man in red, I've got Wargon, said Tamira. Oh sorry. You follow the man in red, I've got Wargon, said Tamira. Be careful, said Bodega.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does vape, he does vape, he does like, he does drink, and uh, he kills everything that pisses him off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of commonalities there. I am not Bodega, he's just, uhm, I guess he's like a fantasy character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it dragged awfully. Every morning I woke up and there was a feeling of deep loss, knowing that you were not present, even in the country, let alone in my life, on a day to day basis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the way they do it, they get these foreign celebs in, they go over on the sly, even like, like there used to be that doing adverts,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was seen as like the death knell of your career, doing television, doing adverts, if you were a big star, that was like, wow, he's doing adverts, not like they were seen as a bad thing. And then I think now it's like, they're fucking everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he will advertise anything. That dude is like holding up a watermelon. Look, look at this fucking watermelon. Beckham loves watermelons. Hashtag Beckham loves watermelons. It's like, you know, it'll be anything. Could be anything. Flip flops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what they think of England, like if they, when they come here, I wonder if they think it's alright, bit weird, like they use the toilet and it doesn't sing to them. No, I think Japan's one of those unique


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they understand that they're a bit kooky and strange or do they think the rest of us are crazy? Uh, you know, is it like if you go to a crazy person's house and they've got


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sausages hanging from the ceilings on strings to keep away the vampires or something. And you, you don't. Do they walk in and go, fuck, this guy's nuts. Like do they, do they see us as being just boring?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or do they think our lack of girlfriend experience is in bars?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we are, we are actually shit. We'll, we'll moan. Historically, that is the way British people are. We'll moan to each other, but we won't actually do anything about it. And I think the problem is there's not much we can do at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About Japan. I've wanted to go for a long time, but now you've made me think twice. Thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just, I'm just thinking, like the kids might actually enjoy it a lot, because they love bonkers stuff, and like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friend said that there's a tendency in Japan for them to put jumbled English words on t-shirts without really knowing what the words mean. So you'd see a t-shirt that says something like Coca-Cola Holocaust.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, there's a web- there's a website, actually it's a Twitter account I follow, called Shit Tats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well welcome back Lewis, and as I understand it, happy birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see that? Sips couldn't even be asked to sing Happy Birthday to you. He gets his fucking robot to do it. Well, she did it better than I did. That's tragic. I'm tone deaf, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna, I wanna give a vape shout out to, this is, this is obviously not a sponsored stream and I'm not sponsored by them, but I wanna give a rare shout out for good customer service to Vape Club, who I recommend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, oh wow, maybe I've won something. And he says, we're out of the Scots Custard. We can only give you 12 boxes of it. We're going to need to fill the order out with something else. We're not going to charge you extra. Whatever the difference is, of course, if there's a difference, we'll refund it, blah, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I chatted to the guy for like five minutes about what could possibly replace Scott's Custard, and he came up with Cream Puff Banana Cream. And I was, I was doubtful. Man, that's a fucking good show. That sounds


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's inspired something in them, alright? Cause I tried, tried, we, we watched it in three parts. Fellowship of the Ring, Extended Edition, obviously. We're watching that. Jesus. And we've watched it this week in our segments. Right. And did they like it? They fucking loved it. Oh, well that's good. That's good. They fucking loved it. The first time I showed it to them they were like, eh, cause it was like, they wouldn't sit still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then at the end, when he says to Aragorn, I would have followed you to the, into the fires of Mount Doom. And then he says, what has he said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know the orcs are gonna come and get him. And they're about to bust through the door and she was like trembling with fear. I was like chill out, it's cool. She's like really on edge. And then the cave troll busts in and she was like aww, he's kinda cute!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my, my childhood was the Muppet Show and Sesame Street, and for the older American viewers out there who may remember the show, The Electric Company, which fucking owned, it was a great show. Oh, I don't remember that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to like, um, GeForce and the Battle of the Planets, which was an anime, looking back now, that they'd obviously edited for a western TV audience, a children's audience, because it's actually quite brutal, but it was fucking amazing, they drove around in these awesome vehicles and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was too old by the time that came around. I was into the original Kirkland Eastman, uh, comics that were much darker and were then twisted by corporate bastards into the pizza-eating goons that you see in the movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I don't want to struggle, like I'm streaming this in the evening and in the morning just having a laugh. It's mainly about naming the characters after the viewers and them seeing how good they get and whether they die or whatever. And we'd already had to restart once. I'm just not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the way the factions in, maybe you don't, in War of the Chosen you meet these factions and they can give you little perks that you can sort of select, and for the next month that perk will be in existence. One of the perks I unlocked, because they're random cards that you basically draw,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I just changed the options of the game, so I doubled the length of all the missions and I doubled the length of the dark event turn time. Oh, right. The countdown, cause it's just too hard otherwise. I just get bored. I just have to constantly restart. You're constantly battling, uh, like even when your dudes aren't healthy, cause now they've added this mechanic in where your dudes get tired and you have to rest them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, Jesus. And if you chuck them in, their will is all fucked and they get- I mean, my guys had all phobias. One of them was like, afraid of mechs. One of them was afraid of other people panicking. I was like, Jesus! It is great.

[Assistant] Is, if you like Pokemon, then you're a millennial. I think that's, that's probably, that's how they should measure it now. Because Pokemon, again, I mean, I've said this a million times and I maintain it. I was too old to enjoy Pokemon. I was, when it came out, I was in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but also, uhm, like Dota, League of Legends games were pretty popular too, right? Those were like the big genre craze. That was the big genre craze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortnite is clever because of the graphics and the accessibility of it for like a younger audience as well. Counter-Strike is a game that looks like you wouldn't let your 7 year old play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, you know, because fortnite is cartoony and stuff, like my, my son has friends at school, he's six years old who have fortnite t-shirts and backpacks. It's kind of like the new minecraft, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird though, isn't it? It's kind of like, it comes in twos though, because the game Minecraft itself


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was huge, obviously, and it made a lot of people very big on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you look at people who were big in Minecraft around the time, like that, you know, Yogg's cast was super big in Minecraft, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of those guys have just dropped off almost completely, right? Like their views are no longer up in the millions and stuff like that. Some of them have just moved away from Minecraft altogether and they do other things or they've just completely disappeared sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The personality ties in with like the trending game as well big time, right? Like it's, uh, yeaah. People, people will just sort of like slope off and drop off after a while too. And I guess the same will probably happen with Fortnite too. Like you'll have a couple of really dominant personalities who will probably just carry through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like the entire trend sort of thing. But you'll have people who will rise up and drop off like throughout too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, which is interesting I guess if you look at it. It's like interesting to see that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My kids still put it. My kids still put it. It's if the right personality plays it and almost trends it, you know what I mean? Like kids at school and stuff will sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, which is like really lackluster though. It didn't feel like it was gonna going anywhere sort of thing. And then when they announced the battle royale mode and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it came out and it was, it was fairly popular, right? It was fairly popular, but then all of a sudden it just seemed like overnight it just exploded. It really did, yeaah. Okay, some of these streamers just became gigantic literally overnight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's mobile games that are tower defenses. It's a genre that's been around for a long time and it's never like gotten...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. That's, that's nice. You know what? You know what I always thought? I always thought that like, Blizzard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if blizz- if anyone at Blizzard's listening to this, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the love of God, just make a Warcraft Stardew Valley, because honestly, World of Warcraft has kinda become Stardew Valley, right? It's like, it's become the biggest collect-em-all of all time, right? Lewis has had many rants about this in the past, about collecting his achievements and gear and stuff, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Feeling bad because he's missed out on being able to collect these mounts and gear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy shit, that would sell millions! Like, can you imagine all of like the drooling, frothing Warcraft fan-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to do that. Knocking at your door all of a sudden. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We played it randomly on stream one time, because Terps was playing it and he liked it. And he was like, we were burnt out with Hearthstone, so he was like, why don't we play Destiny 2? And I bought it when it came out for PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So wait, hang on, there's going to be another expansion for XCOM 2? Cause you'd expect the next game to be coming out like pretty soon because there was all that foreshadowing at the end of XCOM 2, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played them all to death basically, some of them he liked, some of them he didn't like so much sort of thing, but I think he, he


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember him saying at some point that he really liked the idea of like, um, is it, was it terrors from the deep or terror of the terror from the deep? Yeah, it was like the idea of it, but it wasn't like an executed well. And I feel like it was executed terribly. Yeah. I feel like it is a good idea. And I think if it was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as well as like XCOM 2 was, for example, it could be fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they've proven that they can do it with XCOM 2, cause it's phenomenal. So like, I have a lot of hope that if they did try to redo it or, you know, try to do something similar to it, it would be equally great, you know, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because there hasn't been any DLC in between in the past year, right? Like, remember the first year it came out, you had all of the cosmetic stuff, there was a couple of campaigns like Shen's Gift and all that kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, XCOM had, uhm, like, it flipped around, didn't it? Like, uhm, it, it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first couple of games were amazing and they did really well and then the genre started dropping off a bit, it was less popular and I think the original studio went under.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of the studios that touched it could do it any justice sort of thing. And then it just drove it into the ground until it was, so I think, I think in the end, I think 2K bought it for like nothing and then decided to, decided to do something with it sort of thing, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know. I don't even have a doorbell at my house. It's just, we're old school, just knocking. You know what else I don't have in my house, Louis? You ready for this? Go. You ready? Are you sitting down? A microwave. I do not own a microwave. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? That's the only thing I own. I'm proud to say I've never owned, in my adult life, I've never owned a microwave. I've never owned a microwave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I hate myself so much, and I want to make my life so complicated for myself that I've never owned a microwave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew they, I knew they were a big company, but I didn't realize they were as big as they are. And their share price is like, it's like three, three grand or something like that. Their share price is nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chrome incognito browser and I start typing in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When your friends come over for a couple of beers, they can't see that you've been looking up like, you know, five guys blowing each other a horn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About, uh, Blood Bowl is, uh, cause I, cause we went to Disneyland and I've been reading like stuff just off and on about, you know, like Disney and Pixar and stuff too. And the, like the story of Pixar is kind of interesting. It's a bit like you said with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Blood Bull originally they, you know, they started off and they made, they made Toy Story as part of like a three movie deal with Disney. Disney were, Disney were going to publish three Pixar movies and, and own all the rights to the characters and everything as a result. And Pixar at the time were like, yeah, great. You know, this is Disney. They're huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, this will be like great for us. So they signed up to this like three movie deal and they made Toy Story first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, like you were saying about Blood Bowl as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't think it was going to be a huge thing, you know, they were happy with what they made, but they, you know, they were a little bit like, hmm, you know, how's this going to be received? Like we don't really know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sort of like initial reviews of the movie started coming in and people were saying like, this is gonna be fucking huge, like it's gonna be nuts, so they were like really confident and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then of course it came out and made millions sort of thing and they were pretty happy. Uhm, so then they started working on Toy Story 2, uhm, almost like immediately they started working on it. They had some ideas for it and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but at the time Disney's sort of, uhm, policy for sequels was straight to video. So, so Toy Story 2, they started working on it with the idea that it was just gonna be a straight to video sequel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like not even, you know, no theatrical release, nothing. Like it was just gonna go, you know, straight to DVD or whatever. Toy Story 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then part of the way through it, they realized that like, oh, hang on, this is going to be much bigger and should be out in theaters. Can you imagine if Toy Story 2?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went straight to video? That would've been crazy, right? It would've been nuts. And then they started, that's when they started fighting because it was like, well, this was meant to be straight for video, so this doesn't actually count as one of like the three movies or whatever. And then Pixar was like, oh fuck yeah, we're getting screwed here and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they finally finished like the three videos in the deal, uh, the three movies in the deal, and then they were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They couldn't come to an agreement again, they didn't want to work with Disney anymore, and then Disney was like, oh fine, we'll just buy you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buying Pixar meant that Steve Jobs became the biggest shareholder in Disney. He owned 7% of Disney stock at the time, which was worth like fucking 50 billion or something stupid like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wouldn't surprise me if he did that. I don't know if he actually did do it, but he was very, like, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was, he was, he was kind of like a product of like the 60s and the 70s, right? He was not afraid to use like, uh, like LSD and stuff. He went like on these spiritual pilgrimages to like India and stuff and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right, yeah, he did, at first, yeah, he, he, but I think they grew close, like, later in life, but... I don't, I don't believe they ever really did, actually. It was pretty awkward, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without all of the violence, yeaah. Like I wouldn't want to get whacked or double crossed or something like that. And I'm not sure that I would like to run a criminal empire, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like the, I would like the freedom of having a ton of money and somebody drive me around to all the places that I want to go to and, you know, everybody just do what I say all the time. Couldn't you just be rich then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, I guess so, I mean, but I'm too lazy to be rich or do anything that involves not playing video games all day, so I don't know if I'll ever get there, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's, it's, it's by the guy, uh, who did the wire, David Simon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, it takes place in 71 and it's all about the adult entertainment industry. This is before, this is like the start of uh, of pornography basically as, as we- I'm in. As we now know it. And it's got- Sign us up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, it was influenced and controlled by the mob back then, and probably still is. And it's a really good series on HBO. The first season was out last year, I think, and the second season just started on Sunday. We just watched the first episode last night of the second season and it's great. It's really, really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a really good one. Anyway, there's a big mafia boss guy. He's like just, he's like a maid guy. He's not like the main guy. His name is, uh, is Rudy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Rudy! P-P-Pepsi Cola or something, I can't remember his last name anyway. And he's just like, you know, he's a wise guy. He just like turns up in his car and he's got his, he's got his guy with him and they're always scheming and hustling and doing stuff, you know, they always have like, they always seem to have like an abandoned,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, retail lot that they can just turn into like a massage parlor or something when, when they want to and you know, they've got a couple of guys that they trust to do all this stuff and it, it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would want to be that guy, but I wouldn't want like, uh, you know, all the violence and, and backstabbing and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Treachery and, you know, all the degenerates and stuff like that, you know what I mean? I would just want to roll up somewhere with money and say, hey, open up a massage parlor here and somebody be like, yeah, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just go on to the next thing sort of thing, you know what I mean? That's the, that's the mafia guy I wanna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of wire guys in it, like D'Angelo Barksdale plays a cop in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Lester is in it a little bit. He's in it very briefly. Uh, Frank Sabatka from Season 2 is in it a lot. Uh, there's a whole bunch of old wire Illuminati in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Westworld, uh, so much this, the last episode of season two, but I liked it. I liked the idea of Westworld.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Season 2, um, furthers it and is good. Season 2 is definitely worth watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was really big in North America. But I guess, Flax, you would have been in, you would have moved back to England by that point, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but lots of swearing too. It wasn't just like the occasional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought most people, most people was like Snoop Dogg, right? Snoop Dogg was like the big, big, more so than anyone else, like, like almost like kind of mainstream, right? Like there was like the, the what's my name video and everything and that was like, I think they had a radio friendly version that was like in heavy circulation at the time and stuff as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] West Coast hip hop was like a bit more, had like a bit more of like a party atmosphere about it. Like East Coast hip hop was really serious and gritty and New York was a much different place in the 80s and like the early 90s and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, whereas like, west coast hip-hop had more of like a barbecue party feel to it sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot, a lot absolutely blasts right over their head. Like, their kids are, are, are barely paying attention to anything anyway, so like, you know, you can...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, don't point your middle finger. You know what? If you want to joke around and point your middle finger at somebody and they understand that you're just joking, it's probably okay, but maybe you shouldn't do it anyway. But you should never really just point your middle finger at somebody. And I said, and you know what else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna watch The Walking Dead and I was like, okay, well you can't really watch The Walking Dead, like it's not, it's not made for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our, our big one in North America, well at least like at my school and with my friends was, was Saturday Night Live. Like, like you, if somehow you convinced your, we were young, right? Like if somehow you convinced your parents to let you stay up until 1130 at night to watch Saturday Night Live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you had like the, you know, the pleasure of turning up to school on Monday morning and just like memeing the shit out of all the skits because you watched it and everybody else would be like, no fuck I couldn't stand to watch it, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're like 10 years old and you stay up until 11.30 at night just to like see jokes on Saturday Night Live, I used to fall asleep after like 10 minutes. Like I'd be so fucking tired. Like it was just, it was always a thing. I remember everybody was always trying to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda like, I think those are probably some of the best years of Saturday Night Live, apart from like, you know, Eddie Murphy years and stuff. Chris Rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was on like, uh, David Spade and like, uh, Norm MacDonald was on it for a while too. Sort of like, like a golden age of, of Saturday Night Live, but it was always, it was always fun to stay up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to work at Blockbuster when I first moved over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I used to, I used to speak to my mom, you know, like once a week or whatever. And I used to really be big into movies. I used to watch a lot of movies before I had kids. Once you have kids, you watch less movies for sure. I don't know if you noticed that, but, uh, before I had kids, I watched tons of movies. And, uh, when I was working at Blockbuster, I watched tons of movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and I find now that like in the evenings we just watch like shows, like uh, you know, shows of taking over movies for me for sure, but uhm, so I used to speak to my mom every week and, and she'd be like, oh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuckin' this just came out and it's really good, and I was like, ah shit, I gotta wait for months for that to come out. And then like I'd say, oh you know, we just got this out on DVD, it just came out, like we just got it at Blockbuster yesterday, and she's like, what? That's been out for months here!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they had the region lock on DVD players too, so I'd say to my mom, like, fucking, can you buy it and send it to me? Like, I really want to see it, I don't want to wait four months. And they're like, yeah, but we can't get regions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I mean, I was not that savvy. Uh, you know, like I, I, I was representing your average Joe back then, I think. Yeah. With, with these geographical, international issues. Yeah, I was all over that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, everybody's got a story about their friend who bought a top shelf magazine and like, and then just got scared that their parents would find it and like, you know, threw it in a ravine somewhere or stashed it under a rock in the woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry about that. I told you we wouldn't be able to top last week's. We'll never be able to. You know what we're going to talk about next week? That's right, games and our childhood again and possibly our dicks and poop and stuff as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's weird to be back actually. God, we haven't spoken. None of us have talked for weeks now, right? It's been weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Announcement wise, it was fairly exciting. Like the announcements were pretty good, I guess. But like, I don't know. I've been enough times now where I know what to do and what not to do. And you know, it's good to meet up with people that I only see like once a year at BlizzCon and it was awesome. It was really, really good. I really enjoyed myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just Shin. Shin was over there already, cause he went to TwitchCon with Barry. Uhm, they got to meet all of their streaming heroes. And that was nice. And then, uhm, Shin just stayed on after. Uhm, and then met me there. And I, I flew in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We met up and we hung out all weekend, went to BlizzCon and then we went home. It was really good. Dan, so what was your highlight? Uhm, my highlight was probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The opening ceremony, we didn't watch it in the main hall this year, we went because they split the, uhm, like Hearthstone had its own hall, uh, there was the main hall, and then Overwatch had the big arena, you know where they normally have the Starcraft 2 stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that big arena was an Overwatch arena and so what they did is like the uhm, the announcements, every game had an announcement except for Diablo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but so all the big announcements for each game were done like in their separate areas. So like the Hearthstone announcement was done live down in the Hearthstone area. But you could watch the whole opening ceremony down there. Right. But then, but then like the segment about the game was done live down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, for Hearthstone there's a new expansion coming out next month and uhm, the style they did it in was like a, you know, like an old school, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the whole presentation was done like, uh, do you choose left or right? Do you wanna go down the, the, do you wanna go in the door that says, you know, certain death on it? Or do you wanna go down the, the tunnel that's basked in flames or whatever? And then, you know, the audience, he, he like put it to the audience to pick and like everybody just picked like the, the obvious like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was really good. It was really well done and it was just really fucking funny and stuff and that was good. It was really, really good. It was a good weekend. I enjoyed it immensely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I tell you what, that was, that was, that was a marketing master stroke. Is it a blizzard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Activision acquired Vivendi, and through Vivendi acquired Blizzard, but Blizzard, like you said, I think Blizzard own all their shares, so they're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, they're under the Activision umbrella, but Blizzard still have, uhm, just do what they like. They're not, they don't, they don't like line into Activision. They don't have to do like anything they don't want to do sort of thing. I think that's how it works. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it, I think it gets a bit grindy near the end of the game, which might be off-putting to some people, but me, I like a grind, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see a lot of people like in those areas, but then you sort of filter off from those areas into instances that you can either go into with teams or you can just go into by yourself. And sometimes you go into them by yourself and you bump into other people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you can, you can level cap. The level cap is 20. So like you go through, you shoot things, you get XP, you loot stuff, you know, there's better guns and better armor and stuff and like cosmetic stuff. Uhm, and yeah, you could complete the game like pretty quickly, but then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think Destiny 2 is the same. A lot of people will play it, get to the max level, do a couple of bits and pieces and then they'll probably be done with it. But these other guys, there's like, there's like more and more sort of challenges and there's probably leaderboards and stuff like that that keep people like plugged into it and playing, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just like a visually, uhm, nice to look at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't spend my time doing that, like there's other things to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but on the flip side of that, something like Diablo, which is meant to be just as addictive, doesn't have enough of those hooks to keep people playing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And apparently the conditions were like perfect for it to just breed inside the water, inside the hose. And then bam, he went to like water the garden and like accidentally drank some or something and then he was like dead a couple of days later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a shame, so nobody can enjoy like a nice fuckin' soak. A warm soak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know they're just trying to get on. They don't understand why food is wrapped up in paper and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trust me, they have a lot of friends as well in high places, literally, because the rats of the sky, seagulls, are also helping them clear the streets of just about anything. They'll literally fucking eat anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they don't have anyone chucking McDonald's stuff on the ground, so they gotta eat berries and stuff. They gotta go back to basics. They gotta go back to nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I've been watching The Apprentice, okay, on BBC. Oh god, is it still going? Which one, the UK one? The UK one, yeah, it's still going. It was just something, it's just something every once in a while, my wife watches it all the time and she's like, you want to watch it with me this season? I was like, yeah, okay, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the one last night, okay, the task was they had to go to Bruges and they had to do like a tour of the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any kind of tour, okay, of the city, uhm, for people on a cruise ship, okay? So, so they went onto the cruise ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had to sell 16 tickets to people on the cruise ship to go on this tour, okay? And they had to come up with the tour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and, and, and, you know, take people out. Uh, the people, if they didn't like the tour, they could request refunds. So like it, it affected the bottom line sort of thing. Uh, and then there was opportunities in and throughout for them to maybe make some additional money through like selling some like souvenirs or something, right? And like a couple, a couple of them are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clever enough to like, to think outside the box. And, and, and it's, it's interesting to watch them, right? But, so the other ones is like, oh god. So one team decided that they were gonna do a historical tour, okay, of Bruges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of them know anything about the city. Okay. So I don't know why this was the idea. And then they nominated one person to become like the expert to know like about some of the sites that they were going to go to. And she didn't have a fucking clue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh god. And then at the end they're like, okay, we need to get like, we need to buy some cheap souvenirs and like sell them for more to make some more profit on top. Because at the end of it, they're judged by how much profit the whole thing is made, right? So ticket sales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's it. They went from, they went from operating on motive, like, like pure motive, and it was always like a, like a jilted lover or like, you know, there's always a reason for a killing. There's always someone, someone the victim knew. Yeah, there was always a motive. And I think there'd always been like sort of serial killers, but they'd just never,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nothing like it. There's nothing like it. You don't have anyone to gauge your speed against though, uh, and sometimes you drive a bit too fast. In those days I drove


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was like 12 and we were driving to Toronto, okay? Uhm, and in Canada you've got like, you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can drive like pretty fast on them. I think the, I think it's like a hundred kilometers an hour speed limit or whatever. And you know, they're just, they're just meant for you to get like from city to city sort of thing, you know, like they sort of bypass like, like a lot of towns and stuff. So we're on like this road.

[Assistant] Driving like fairly fast and there's like two cars ahead of us and then uhm, like the, the, the second car like ahead of us, ahead of like the one directly in front of us I mean, uh, was like this pickup truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were just driving along and uhm, we were just chatting or whatever and then all of a sudden this, this truck just like veered off to the right and then flew up in the air. Like it was crazy. It was like really surreal. Like it felt like time just slowed down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We flew up in the air and like flipped over into like the, into the ditch. So we like stopped and like this is before there were cell phones and stuff. Somebody had to go find a pay phone to phone an ambulance and stuff. And we were waiting around, um, like for the police to come so that we could say like what we saw or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just really fucking surreal, but like it just shows how quickly things can happen. Like all that, all that needs to happen is that guy briefly fell asleep and lost control or had a stroke or was like drunk or whatever. But like, yeah, it's pretty fucking crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in like the past, past few years at least, in the past I think five years or so, the American government, uhm, sort of requested access to records over here and in other jurisdictions as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I don't think it's as bad as they say that it is. Uh, I mean, there's obviously some moral lines there, like, you know, there's a lot of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not great. And then when people find out about it, it looks terrible. So they scramble to like, you know, fix it or, you know, they're probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably announce in a couple of weeks that they, you know, are fully compliant and that they paid this much tax and they rescued 20, 20 baby seals from a sinking barge one time and, you know, like they'll do everything they can to, to sort of like gussy it up and make it look better than it is or whatever. But yeah, there's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's definitely some moral, uhm, some moral lines that like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That thing is so weird. The whole Kevin Spacey thing is bizarre. Like, I don't even, I, I, there's so many questions for me, like, about, you know, the stuff that's coming out and, and the fact that, like, House of Cards is potentially Axe now off the bat. Oh, it is Axe. No, it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and was, and invited like a 14 year old boy to this party. Yeaah. When I was 14, I was not going to cocaine parties, like barely even alcohol parties either. Like it was, you know what I mean? Like how, how did this 14 year old get into the situation where he was being taken to this party? Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I won't say anything because I don't know all the facts or whatever but like, I always thought Kevin Spacey was a pretty good actor and stuff and I'm just surprised by all this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The timing of it isn't ideal either because some of it seems like, you know, some of this stuff happens like decades ago and then, and then finally somebody speaks out about it. And I guess maybe, you know, like I've never


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, sexual assaults in Hollywood sort of, you know, thing now and everything. And I, I just like, I don't know, some, some of it feels witchhunty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that bombshell. Peace out everybody. Thanks for listening. We'll be back next week for some more. Until then, stay safe, stay frosty, go fuck yourselves, and uh, good night. Peace out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and don't flip your car on the highway either, fuck. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem I have with these kind of games is that it always comes down to getting better gear in order to get better gear. Like you have to get this and then you go and fight these guys and then you do this. I never really understood what the long term appeal of that was compared to something like the MMOs like when I played WoW.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, Evie got it. Evie understood. Cause you, you, there was no end game. The end game is we conquer the galaxy and you're never gonna do that. But it's, because you're fighting other players, you get animosity building up between courts and you're like, oh man, we've gotta beat these guys. And that is the long term draw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's more like having a movie and going to see a movie that's going to be over and yea, there might be a sequel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I remember reading one of those news stories about those cruise liners that set sail and everyone's all happy and they're ready to have a good time. And then they get like halfway around the world to wherever they're going and everyone starts shitting everywhere. Yeah, that happens a lot on cruise ships apparently. It's so scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, this is like, this is like the ancient Greeks used to think that animals just sprung from the ground. Like they didn't understand that and then insects and stuff like that just appeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember what they called it, but they thought that they didn't realize that animals that were very small...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially, you get a lot of people, like I consider myself someone who's concerned about the environment, you know? I don't wanna die in a flaming ball of misery and pollution and everything like that. No. I was surprised, even Michael Gove, arch arsehole of the universe, right? Michael Gove is in the Guardian today saying, we gotta do something about the bees, we gotta ban

[Assistant] They see a fucking rat, they shit the bed. Guess what? That fucking rat-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his family have probably been living in that area for generations. A generation. Just living their fucking life. They do a job. If you ever see bits of food in the street, you don't. You know why? Because Ratty McRatterson and all his little ratty buddies take care of that shit. You think the street sweepers are out night and day, hoovering up all the garbage. No! Rat friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't literally fucking eat anything, so. They will. It's honestly, it's the, the bubonic plague was a disaster for Rat PR. And they've never recovered. They've never recovered.

[Assistant] Did you guys, you guys watch Blue Planet too, if you watch that show? Uh, it was on the other

[Assistant] And they land in this mud, and he says, This mud, which is made up of the snow, that rains from above, of tiny particulate matter of organic stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this organic sludge covers around 90% of the planet. You're like, what the fuck, like 90%?

[Assistant] Coral just waving in the currents of the ocean, very slight current. It grows about a hair's breadth per year. And then it pans out, and there's a coral the size of a fucking bus. And you think, and he says this one is probably about four thousand years old.
