[Assistant] For example, uh, I was digging through some of their available collections, and the first one that caught my eye was a sleek minimalist wallet kit, and I thought, yeah, that seems pretty on-brand. But then I noticed a custom guacamole making kit, so you can still expect to be surprised.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Includes over $70 worth a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get 20% off your first monthly box when you sign up at boxofawesome.com and enter the code DUDE, that's D-U-D-E at checkout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's boxofawesome.com code dude for 20% off your first box. That was applause for Joker right there. That was my clap. That was my Joaquin Phoenix. It might be good. I'm just gonna avoid everything. I feel like all of this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I have to, I like Whodunits. I like Brick. I do like, I do like Brothers Bloom a lot. It's very stylistic though. Uhm, and Looper, I was like, man, I'm so into this. But then the second half of it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt that way about The Prestige. I still love the movie, but I did feel that way about The Prestige, where it's a movie all about the illusion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And nothing is ever what it seems, and then they build a cloning teleporter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess for me the human drama still works independent of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it. I love the movie. But even watching it, I go, I go, it's weird that we spent so much, explaining how much effort people like, oh, he holds a ball between his legs for 20 years just so that we can do this one trick with an ace of spades. And then the other guy goes like, Tesla, build me a teleporter cloner. And he goes, got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe twice. Yeaah. I don't know. Never happened. I'm interested, I think Knives Out I'm interested in because... Do you remember the trailer for Murder on the Orient Express? Yeaah. Do you ever see the movie? No. Cause I, well I saw the trailer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not the trailer. That Imagine Dragons songs with a bunch of cool characters and like poor Rose cool narration and it seems super stylized and everything. Nope. It's mostly just a train stopped in the snow and people talking and it's just one shot for the whole thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm no Kenneth Branagh, and I would never claim to be. I couldn't make Thor 1 if I tried. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do think that if you're approaching, like, if you're approaching that stuff, like, and you want to adapt it, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're the smartest band in the world. All they ever do is write music that can appear in trailers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. Anyway, uh, let's get to the, let's get to the heart of the discussion. We've got about half the show left or so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, this is an easy one. Something everyone can agree on. Nintendo, uh, last week was the Nintendo Direct, so there's September. Nintendo, what do they do it once a month?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there are some of the things that they announced here that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that's fun stuff that you can do that probably also puts less stress on their development team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get it done on a timeline that they didn't set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it's really cool, uhm, I watched the whole thing, and I'm gonna put this out here, and we can discuss it. But I think console gaming,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think console gaming is very, very strong right now, and I think the Nintendo Switch might be the best console of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching this and seeing the kind of stuff that's coming, it makes me want to play games. And it makes me want to play all of it. And it makes me feel like I would be satisfied with everything. Like Overwatch, it's, it's a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about preferring, it's about the option too. I think that's what's, that's what's so cra- Number one, I'm not gonna play Overwatch anywhere else when I have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $200 of loot boxes and skins sunken into one version. So unless any of that carries over, then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, if, if it was the kind of thing that carries over, it's like, yeah, I could see myself maybe like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That counts for a lot for me. But just the fact that it's there. That it's available on this thing that can fit in my giant cargo pocket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does feel like, like, you know, they have a bunch of JRPGs and stuff. I haven't played a JRPG in a very, very long time, but I'm like, well, I guess if I think about it, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just you will compensate. You'll be okay with some of the fidelity differences based off the games they release and then how you can play them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. Good picture. Like thinking about Nintendo's history, and it's funny because they kind of acknowledge it. It used to feel that they were all in on Nintendo, and they were like, we're leaving money on the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the switch feels like the first time where they're like, we should try and get other stuff. It doesn't have to be controlled entirely by us. We can, we can filter through that third party of what actually gets through, but we should try and get as much stuff through as possible. And I think a perfect example of that is like Terry Bogard in Smash. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought for sure Geese was gonna be it. Even, even in their like graphics for it, they said, Smash Brothers...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Cross, and then Fatal Fury. Like they put them on even ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've thought about this. Also, something that I feel like we don't take advantage enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elise and I, but then also everyone here, because we all own Switches, is like, so many of these games are like, yeah, we throw in co-op mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a, it's a Divinity 2 original set. Yeah, co-op mode. Yeah, sure. Do I need air?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Never expressed interest in Animal Crossing before, but I was watching them talking about like the Animal Crossing Enchanted Isle, or you're like in a deserted island. It's the new Animal Crossing. Oh. It's coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's maybe too big. Maybe, maybe my brain, my monkey brain is too small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's, uh, who knows? What's the Fire Emblem game? Houses? Three Houses? No, no, it was in the Nintendo Direct, it was like, E-chorus, F-sharp, minor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That stalls out after a while. Once you get into the wide open ocean, it's very, I've gotten there three or four times and every single time that's where I stop because I'm like, I'm lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Goose and goblins, or ghouls and ghosts, or whatever words they chose to use for that one. And I was like, but I hate that game. Why would I ever want to play that? It's got good music. You can rewind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Torbjorn tried so hard. I think, I mean, but like, Doom 64? Yeaah. How long, how far away are we from the 64? Like where we can just start playing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is getting into dumb shit. You can make, you can make curry in poke, in Pokemon now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and ask me what console, how should I play video games? I would probably say you should get a Switch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this, if a stranger walked up to me on the street and said what kind of toothbrush should I get, I would definitely say Quip. This episode of Dude Soup is brought to you by Quip. Simplify your morning and evening routines with a straightforward electric toothbrush from Quip. The lightweight compact design provides sensitive sonic vibrations for an effective clean that's gentle on your gums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you realize that up to 90% of brushers don't brush for long enough or often favor one section of their mouth over the other? It's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with Quip's built-in two-minute timer, you'll be reminded every 30 seconds that it's time to switch sides, ensuring an even clean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, brand new brush heads are delivered automatically on a dentist recommended three month schedule for just five dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Quip toothbrush provides me with all the benefits of a full sized electric toothbrush in a package that's half the size, no bulky chargers, no old worn out brushes that you still, and you still get fresh healthy smiles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why Quip's great, and why it's perfect for getting back into a routine. Quip starts at just $25, and if you go to getquip.com slash dude right now, you can get your first refill pack for free. That's your first refill pack at getquip.com slash d-u-d-e.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. It's just time, I'm really, Nintendo makes me excited for Nintendo. And I like, I like watching press conferences. I like when we all sit together and watch E3 press conferences and stuff. But like, I still am like, I'm like, I hope I'm surprised by this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we have time for cats? Oh, excuse me, how dare you? Don't look. Sorry. Uhm, yes, of course we have time for cats. Let's roll that! It's time for cats!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say, I'll just say this, the second segment of Countdown to Cats will probably get to 10 or 12 before the movie is released.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's lukewarm on it, and it seems like it's exactly his wheelhouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in an effort to prepare everyone here and out there for Cats. It's a noble goal, but impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This cat's gonna hit you like a brick no matter what. I agree, Lawrence, but I'm gonna do what I can regardless. You're a hero, thank you. I'm like a Christian, thinking that I'm gonna get into heaven by signing up more souls, but there's so many souls in this earth. It's kinda selfish. Yeah. Why am I making this about me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so yeaah, so I have a continuation of the quiz from last time to help familiarize us with cats. Last time it was purely a guessing game about characters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would show you a character or the musical or any interpretation of it. I would show you a character and then you would have to guess the name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is some of that here because there's many more characters that we need to familiarize ourselves with before we even get there, like Jennyanydots who is not featured in this quiz. Uhm, but there's also more to this as well, there's some trivia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe true and false. Okay. So this is, this is good. Now we're just building our knowledge base. So Omar, let's, let's take us in. Let's show us the first, the first one. Nope, roll it up. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To start us off, let me just specify that there are two right answers. I thought this would be an easy one to start out because this cat does have two names depending on when you've seen the musical and where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great guess. Okay. That he would put a namesake cat into his poems, but... No, the correct answer number one is... Tumble Brutus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would have also accepted the alternate name, Bill Bailey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because those are the two names of that cat. Why does, why does that cat get two names that are unrelated?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This cat featured here, I know you're thinking, looks exactly like the last cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This popular, young, and troublesome fun-loving kitten was replaced by Pounceable in the 1998 direct-to-video film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they have to dance, okay? It's part of the dance. Is this one, uh, is this Rain Dancer? Rain Dancer. Raise guess. Tumble Brutus 2? Tumble Brutus 2! Or the second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At some point I think what happened is they accidentally used this costume and I'm being serious with you and then it was too late. And so then every other, the musicals afterwards or the stage production just changed it and they're like, fine, Carbacchus is pounceable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cats was the first Broadway musical to feature a human actor portraying feline characters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's- You have, Adam. Yeaah. This is a memory recall, because this cat was featured in the last game, and I want to see if people are remembering. I can't remember their names, they're all so dumb. I was hoping no one would notice that cat was already- I thought it was funny, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Mr. Misophiles is a very similar cat. Okay. Black and white cat. Alright, let's move on. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of which tribe do the characters of the musical cats belong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know about that. I devoted myself to Starlight Express. It is a descriptor often used for the cats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are the Jellicle Cats. There is a bonus question related to this. Sure. Bonus question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the name of the annual event in which all the cats gather?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's his name, mister? I will say yes. This is, this is James. James Corden will be portraying this cat in the feature film coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's your favorite cat. Old Deuteronomy? No, your favorite cat name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's go for the last one. Which celebrity has appeared in a live stage production of Cats on Broadway? Here are your choices. Thomas Jane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grumpy Cat! Oh, this is Denzel Washington, Hugh Jackman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, that concludes. Can we roll that promo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, great job. Just a quick reminder of the score. Lawrence, Valiant, some great guesses in there. But this is a learning game, so you're not supposed to get everything right the first time. Elise with one point, Adam also with one point. You guys are really learning your cats, and I'm proud of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've heard that doing Star Wars reshoots because it's such a mess. I've also heard that they're not reshooting a single thing for cats because it was perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're better than that at least. This is a late night talk show? Yes. He did a late night talk show. Is it better than Magic Johnson's late night talk show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, because it's Chevy Chase and it's Chevy Chase bringing people and just taking the piss the entire time. And they're like, I feel like I'm on Carson and he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, it just occurred to me that this episode's gonna kill me because every time I hear an American say Call of Duty, my head giggles. Supposed to be a little J in there. We say Judy. Judy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I'm okay with it. Did you, did you wanna read more? No, no, it's fine, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it doesn't seem like they're just trying to be edgy to me, it seems like it's actually trying to be real. Uhm, which I love Spec Ops and that game is real and brutal in a way that makes you uncomfortable but I really like it because it confronts you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that Call of Duty has ever proven that they can do this before, and I think especially with stuff that's related to the military that can be really difficult, but I want that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know one of the controversies surrounding this at E3 was that IGN made a video about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like wondering if they pushed it too far or something and then a bunch of like veterans made response videos because everyone loves getting angry at IGN. And that was a whole thing where they were like, IGN's a bunch of pussies! But it sounds like IGN was almost saying it in a complimentary way. Some people felt like they didn't like it, but I think that means it's a good piece of art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you know, uh, I look at like all the companies earning reports and presentations that they give to their investors and everything, and I know that Activision


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Specifically has this thing where they care about the cost of a video game versus the time plane. So they like gave this full presentation that was, well, if you go see a movie for two hours and it costs you $14,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Per hour cost is way better for people who are making movies, whereas for us, people can put


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe they're not as worried about sales and are a little bit more worried about how to monetize the individual player's experience on an ongoing capacity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always think about the Left 4 Dead vs Left 4 Dead 2 fiasco where they basically just made the same game with four different maps and it just completely split the community in half. It was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing is, yeah, uh, the casual audience who played Call of Duty


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They basically had this cycle that I think Fortnite has effectively killed where people were buying Call of Duty to say they had been playing Call of Duty. It was a cultural thing, right? They weren't necessarily buying it because they actually cared about the game. They were buying it because all their friends bought it and they wanted to be better than their friends and level up more and it was just that ongoing cycle. So I don't think those people care about the engine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or ray tracing, or any of that shit. Like, we would care about that as people who spend a lot of time playing video games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I know like Activision Blizzard are chasing esports money, but it's funny because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Titanfall 2 was a fantastic campaign. It was. And I think a lot of people probably did play that because they heard it was fantastic. It's also that if you are going for the older demographic, nothing appeals to me more than you telling me that this FPS campaign is eight hours. I'm like, cool, two days!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've always been bad at Call of Duty and I think that's because I played so much Halo that there are basically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can specialize in an FPS, and COD has always been too fast for me. I can still enjoy it, but I'm terrible. Like, I just don't adapt to it very quickly, whereas I pick up Halo and I'm always gonna be fine. And I think that that's probably a part of it, is that now you can specialize in an FPS because there are so many goddamn first-person shooters that are competitive. Like, there's a huge siege community that get games still being played by tons of people, but it's like, it plays distinctly differently. It's way more tactical and team-based.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nope, I don't think the unit sales matter that much. Yeah, what's the, uh- Monetized time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, uh, I think it was infinite welfare that was like ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I went last month, I think. When it was still like press time. And it's extremely cool. You've been as well, right? To Galaxy's Edge? Did you get the $40 cocktail?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that you could accidentally start streaming in general is very scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I, one of the first things I ever remember posting was similar. I recorded a video on, uh, like, with a camera of me playing Dark Souls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And dying because it was funny. Like, I was like, this is entertaining that I am bad at this, which is still a thing that I do, but, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've not had my- It's great. To suck or be sucked? Definitely not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there aren't many photos of my feet though, cause I wear sneakers all the time. Well that's what just makes it more tantalizing. You're right. That's not me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't tell me why. I feel like they should quantify it. It's so weird to me that they know my shoe size.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a question. Will Pingu TV lean into their racial leanings? And then do other controversial videos or maybe they'll release, they'll see this and then they'll release a video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthem sucks so bad that EA finally had to admit it. We won, gamers. Gamers are rising again on this week's bowl of dude soup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could've had like, they could've put that on the side of the building. It would've been on coffee mugs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really nice. New merch arriving today, if you're on YouTube go check it out. Uh, and speaking of whoring for money, this podcast is sponsored by three sponsors, Stitch Fix, Fleur, and Calm. You can get started today at StitchFix.com slash Dude Soup and keep an, or get an extra 25% off and you keep everything in your box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can also go to FLUR.com slash dudesoup. Get your first three FLUR fragrance samples at 20% off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can get 25% off a Calm Premium subscription at Calm.com. Slash dude. That's a weird URL to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, today's initial conversation topic is coming from an actual fantastic interview over at gamedaily.biz with EA CEO Andrew Wilson. Uh, in, of the many complicated, nuanced, and human topics that were talked about, he said something about Anthem. Uh, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His path is actually pretty, uh, heartwarming provided you, uh, also forget that he is responsib- responsible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know though, how do you guys feel? Do you think Anthem's world is compelling? Would you like to see seven years of weird arrival suit javelin men running around?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think, you're right Adam, but I think those are all symptoms of the game coming together in less than a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was actually reflecting on this. So I don't know, I remember this and only this from my like high school literature class or whatever. The three fundamental forms of conflict. Man versus man, man versus self, and man versus nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did the cataclysms, but apparently they were shocking, underwhelming based on what was described.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say that, Adam, we just steal your idea. Sure, got it. Uh, so yeaah, Anthem 1 is your normal guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also appropriately, uh, here we go. Season 1, oh, the whole episodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was back in that weird mid-90s run when they had like the flash on TV. I watched it. Before the other flash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had it, I have the full pilot in my watch later list because I just rediscovered it recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I, I believe that like EA is looking at it as, okay, this is our base and we'll continue to grow it because they've invested in it already. They've already paid for years of development. So it's either keep trying to convert this into something that works or start over, which is going to wipe away the three years of lore Bible they ever written. They can't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Final Fantasy XIV does that too, but online economies get strange when there's scarcity of any kind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's four iron mans. Let me jump in here with an ad-readable point. Much like how we all in Anthem enjoy putting leopard prints on our mech suits, you, uh, as a soul are also piloting your body as a mech suit. And you can put downloadable content on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through Stitch Fix. Sells you clothes. On the internet. Thank you, there's a thumbnail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so yeaah. You now no longer even have to choose what kind of clothes you wear. You can have a stylist choose it for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, what is living like royalty in, in this year, in the future, if it's not having somebody pick clothes out for you. That's what Stitch Fix is. So to get started, you basically go to stitchfix.com slash dudesoup. Fill out a little questionnaire about your style, what you like, the cuts, the fabrics, the patterns, cheetah print. That's my Laurence pick for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, lime green, black, cheetah print specifically, yeah. Uh, shoes, accessories, everything. And then a stylus will basically be assigned to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so yeaah, you get to see how you look at everything, return the things you don't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this also can be done a la carte or via subscription so you don't have to sign up for anything if you just want to try it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's really fun. And I've actually gotten a lot of clothes that I probably would never have tried or even found without it. And I realized that I look pretty good in stuff that I didn't think I would look good in. So I encourage you to try it out. That's at stitchfix.com slash dudesoup. Uh, special offer. You get 25% off your box if you decide to keep everything in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, once more, that's stitchfix.com slash dudesoup with an extra 25% off when you keep everything in your box. So thank you Stitch Fix for the sponsorship. Thank you. And for the lime green underwear. Cheetah print.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, okay, uh, I guess in other news, we just wrapped up a 24 hour live stream, which was intense, and long, uh, and fun, because there were a lot of video games. Uh, we unfortunately yet again were not able to expose the speedrunners for the frauds there. Actually Omar, if you don't mind, could you throw up games done quick on the monitor back here? Totally. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a whole other people waiting for us to do our thing to do the rest of the show, so it kind of had to happen then. I don't like intruding on other people's stuff, but kind of couldn't do it otherwise. But yeaah, so yeaah, we filmed the inside gaming, kind of made a couple of passes of the room to throw away all the decaying McDonald's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did, but I ended up throwing it away. I mean, who's gonna roll into a room with like, bags that have been picked over and have empty wrappers? Oh, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to make sure we had clean snacks around. They had like some turkey jerky. No, it was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was up until, or rather I left here around noon, I think, because there was still work to do, because it's a goddamn work day. So I did all that. Stephanie came and picked me up because yeah, I didn't want to like ride a motorcycle. That's a smart choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do we let them steal it? That's $70,000 that could go towards our Carnival Cruise to Hawaii fund. We'll get there. Sorry, go ahead. Damn it. Uh, anyway. Yeah, once I'd eaten and had some coffee, I was like, oh, I feel so much better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me cut into a, can I cut in with an ad? Oh yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, yeah. Oh, that's alright. I actually know, I think I know the story you're gonna talk about, but, uh, we have a sponsor that will help you with sleep if you are struggling with that. Calm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ask, are you struggling to sleep these days, Adam? Yes. All right. You're not alone. One in three US adults doesn't get enough sleep. Well, I mean, that's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good night's sleep is like a magic remedy for the brain and body. When we sleep well, we're more focused and relaxed and best of all, sleep makes us happier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel, I feel better today, that's for sure. So calm is a, uh, basically a service that offers a library of programs designed to help you get to sleep your brain and body needs. Uh, this stuff like soundscapes, uh, over a hundred sleep stories narrated by soothing voices like Jerome Flynn from Game of Thrones and Stephen Fry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uh, I guess the idea is that there's a ton of tools here to help you, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At calm.calm, uh, c-a-l-m dot c-o-m slash dude, d-u-d-e. So calm, thank you so much for helping this nation of anxious, overworked, uh, content producers and hustlers and bread-getters to actually fall asleep at night.

[Assistant] I was like, I had gaps in cognition of like, I was like trying to answer slacks on my phone and trying to watch Titanfall 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I, I would, I would like, and then I realized like a minute passed and I hadn't done anything. And I was like, well, shit. All right. I'm starting to shut down. So yeah, I kind of laid down on the couch and then like snapped awake 40 minutes later. I was like, wow, I feel great. I don't know what that was, but then from then on, it felt like I actually had slept and just finished the day as usual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can snooze where it's like time goes, but I don't feel rested. So it's a good way to kill time on an intercontinental flight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad that we as a society have largely acknowledged that leaning back on a plane is garbage. Unless you have to sleep, then it's kind of hard to get around. Your case is sadly an edge case, but yeah, come on people. If it's like a three hour flight, just keep your seat up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's, it's there, so I, I don't, I don't get pissed at people for doing it, but I leave mine up, cause I'm like, whatever. Five degrees, it's still gonna feel like garbage when I get up anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you had to play one of them. And they're all awful, yeaah. And like, one of them, you have no idea what to do, and there's no instruction manual, cause somebody threw it away. So yeaah, it's like Blaster Master. How do I get out? How do you know I can get out of the tank? You're just running around for an hour. But, there is something that is simple. Yeaah, we got another ad reading coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can dispel mysteries in your life. Especially when it comes to scents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not the money, the smell. Uh, Fleur is sponsoring this podcast. This is a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New scent company that only deals in great smelling and non-toxic perfumes. Unlike fragrance companies, they're transparent. Literally and figuratively. They tell you every ingredient in their perfumes. Their perfumes are also clear because of that. Uh, you get a good scent made with clean ingredients and the sample process is just plain fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a couple of boys here who had, uh, custom scents made for them. Uh, Bruce is in there with the Hepcat scent. Described it as, uh, it's like that cologne your cool uncle would put on before peeling out on his motorcycle into the sunset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, uh, Adam is a Greylock man. I am. He says Greylock is like taking a road trip up the California coast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you'd like to smell like Adam or Bruce, you can do that today at Fleur.com slash Dude Soup. Uh, you can check out our curated sample set and get 20% off your first custom Fleur sample set.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want, uh, you want it to smell like you, in a good way. Uhm, so, once more, that's Flurr.com slash Dude Soup. That's P-H-L-U-R, which I'm gonna admit is actually a really fun word to say and even look at. Flurr. Flurr. Flurr.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleepy rumbly guts. No, it's not that one. No, I had, I too had a blowout in the bathroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before we go on this, this lovely episode of DudeSoup, since I am producing it means you're all subject to my whims and my games. Always.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and that also means it's time to check in on the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we gotta savor these moments, you guys. Come April, huh? Never say never. We could do Cyberwatch after this. Yeah, I mean, we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, like this- 2078. Like this week's Cyberwatch, Omar just sent you a Slack, I don't know if we can get that up there, but- Is it Mantis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it could be Mantis again. Mantis is cyberpunk. Mantis is cyberpunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a man in a wheelchair, he made a mantis suit. And he looks like a mantis. And then he shoots people. Cause that's what mantis is too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was like, what, 20 years and change ago? It's crazy how much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, so, this is in reference to the Witcher 3 expansions, which are all huge. And awesome. Yes, and very good. Uh, UI coordinator Alvin Liu says, quote, we want to make sure everything's complete, in referring to Cyberpunk 2077, greatest video game ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but we also want to open new worlds. I know when I was playing The Witcher 3 and I finished everything, I still want to know what everyone was up to. And here it is, here's the bombshell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we're going to have opportunities like that as well!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you get to do a flashback where you get to play as Johnny Silverhand in 2020. And you get to see, you get to see what happened to Alt Cunningham!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all this stuff exists already. It's interesting how much of like straight up Cyberpunk 2020 lore, like the 80's crappy 80's stuff is actually working into 2077's. I mean they have Pondsmith on to do all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not only was this the aesthetic already due entirely to Cyberpunk, but CD Projekt has definitely given it a brush up to make it not so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does! It does! There were like some live action Shadowrun shorts that like, Fasa did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't do that, but. Well, you could also finish it in a few evenings. I don't think it's like a life consumer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's called a Knight's Work. Oh. Uh, it's a Shadowrun crew breaking into a top secret laboratory, cyberhacking out some data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, workin' those angles. Uh, so yeaah. Well, here, I'll just do this. I'm excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Data cubes! She got a- oh, but it might have intrusion countermeasures aka ice. Watch out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, she tripped the alliance, gotta get out. Jack out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Shadowrun. Real cool. Cyberpunk. Best, best way of life is what I describe it. Philosophy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for listening to the Dudesuit Podcast. We'll be back next week with who knows what. Oh yeaah, a couple of announcements for you guys. RTX is this weekend, if you're go- oh, okay. If you're going, we look forward to meeting you. Wait, wait, next weekend. I was like, what? I have a flight on Thursday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, store.roostgedit.com, unless we have a, I think it's store.fun.house, I think was also, is that still active?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, H-A-U-S is a fun little, uh, URL extension that W3C approved. Are you sure that that works? If that Wi-Fi ever kicks in, we'll know. Yeah, the whole collection definitely has. It definitely has. Looks really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, Rooster Teeth store, Funhaus, we got a new collection, also bucket hats. So check that out. They're not gonna sell themselves. Yeah, it's resolving, there we go, just took a while. One last thank you to our incredible community and audience for donating so much money during Funhaus Games Done Slow. Over $80,000! Unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has now been passed on to Doctors Without Borders because of you guys and your generosity, so. Thank you for making that 24 hours fun, because it would be pretty sad if we were just by ourselves. Uh, and thank you for, you know, opening your hearts and wallets. Uh, and I think that's it. So yea, thank you guys, we'll see you next week. Till then, bye everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can tell the story about, uh, Chris and Josh. I won't tell the context around it. Wait, which story? So, well, you don't, unfortunately, neither one of them are on this podcast, but, uh. Yeah, roast them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was standing above Chris, uh, and Chris has to be kind of like a dead body, like he's like sort of laying down with his eyes closed, and Josh has to have to like mime sitting on him kind of, uh, but Josh


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I was telling you, it's on top of Twitch, like almost nightly now at this point because of GTA real play. So everybody's doing the GTA real play right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it makes sense because the people that are buying video games, they're not only, you know, 17 years old, they're us. Uh, the people that are 34 years old, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, isn't that, that's kinda what Take Two wants, right? They want games as a service stuff. They want all three of those things cranking money into their, you know, their money pit. As they're, as they're shoveling it in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] San Francisco. Las Vegas. Vegas. I mean, what other big cities are there? I guess that's why South America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a clap back on Twitter that Xbox One already does 8K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, they're gonna, I feel like if one of them beats them to market, so for example if Xbox beats it to market, then Sony's gonna rush it. Yeah. Like they, they know they have to, even though Sony's ahead right now, they traded on the previous generation, right? Cause Xbox 360 was destroying PlayStation 3, so then they traded. So, it only stands to reason that maybe they'll trade again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taco Bell uses, the rumor is that they use grade F meat. F for fantastic. Not a joke, that is true, that is uh, the rumor, that the meat they use is like, you know, like basically cardboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have corned beef in cans. You can just eat the corned beef.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, I gotta, I gotta go back and look at the raw footage because maybe the only video that I know that I've shot where my, uh, nether regions slipped out of things was at Cow Chop and Asher had to blur my penis. So, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lithuania. She's from Lithuania, yes. So she's not from America, and that's actually what she said. She was like, it's different in Lithuania. I'm not saying that it is, I'm just saying that's what she said. I just thought it was a funny story. The picture is hilarious. The picture of her is very funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want you to just say blackface is okay. I'm sensitive to that and I will never say that because I know that that is not the case. Uh huh. You should never do that. Uh huh. But maybe somebody from Lithuania doesn't know that? I don't know. I'm gonna get that quote out of you one day. No. You're never gonna get that quote out. I want you to be on Fox News.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you do the hair? See, I didn't think, I didn't make any decision about it. Yea, I know, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, what I would have done, like I did with Black Panther, is just put on the suit. I would have been like, cool, I love Black Panther and I want to put on the Black Panther suit. But, I never would have ever painted my skin. Literally never. Because you're not supposed to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a person? No, as a person that wears Powerline shirts. He's not cool either. Powerline is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean like, you're absolutely right from a consumer's perspective. The, I guess the interesting thing you have to think about is, but does it change content forever? So like, imagine that everyone's doing it, right? Every network in the world is doing what Twitch and YouTube is doing. Then, are we all making the same garbage? You know, like, are we all making that same grindy stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was like, that is her. And I turned around and left. That's like when I saw Reese Witherspoon at an ice cream shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a certain, by the way, just so anyone out there who's buying these, they should come with numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, they should number, yea. That way you know that they're legit. And what you want is you want a middle number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you get one of the first numbers, you're like bottle number one. Okay. That means she's barely been soaking in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She just plopped right in and now you get the first scoop of that. And when you consider all the water, the water volume to her, you're getting less her in that bottle. What you want are the middle ones, when it's not the bottom of it, but she's been soaking it for a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless it's a video of her getting in the tub. Bottle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's Belle Delphine on Instagram. Oh, like uh, Super Mario Sunshine. I'd like some Super Mario Sunshine water from Delphino Plaza.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are two very different statements, what you just said there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has a character and a personality to fill in the image, it's not just her sexuality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm casting no judgement on her. I just think it is an interesting situation. This is a new age of things where she has 4.1 million followers. Like this is the kind of thing where you would just do quietly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people use it because it's like, it removes


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, separation between that, that fantasy of that person and you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have something of theirs. Something that is embedded with their


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That definitely seems like someone who's subscribing to the meme culture. Absolutely. Yeah, I'm gonna use this to turn it into something that I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] White sheets, just, here's the thing. You get white sheets, you have sex, then you have a paint gun plugged in and it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Donating again is different because it's a specific stipulation. Oh I see, gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know there's a video somewhere where he would like go to people, like do one of those big rallies and then like heal people in the audience and he had an earpiece in and everyone filled out surveys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, and then stuff like that came out and like ruined him so then he just disappeared for a little while and then he came back again and now he sells Miracle Spring Water. Miracle Spring Water. It will fix your life or whatever. Can we find a dozer commercial that we can find for the Miracle Spring Water? Cause it's really good. It promises a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, where, I don't know how it came up. So I was like, where were you during 9-11? Everyone knows. I go, I don't know. Well, why not? Well, cause I was crawling or shitting my pants or something. I don't know. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, half naked is cool. Half naked, pool, uhm, which is, which is fun, but man, I had a really good RTX. Yea, me too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's always been a pattern that we hate the idea of a, like, regular panel. Like, everything we do is, well, people came to be here, so we might as well give them a live show. And every single year, except for this past year, we've done a crazy wild panel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then we do a Dude Soup, which we just kind of like take easy. Lawrence will come up with like fun things to do for Dude Soup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think because just the nature of like the rotating hosts that we have now and it wasn't sold, it wasn't live streamed. We were like, oh, we can do whatever we wanted to. So that was fun because it basically gave us another hour to do whatever we wanted, which was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did we do? We did, we came out and we said that we had all the good stuff planned for the Funhaus panel, so we were just gonna do Q&A for an hour. And everyone seemed fine with it, and you're like, no!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, which we did. Which we did and prepared a lot. Everyone had like bits for it and stuff like that. And we had a desk that my guardian and Bruce's guardian were making with duct tapes in the back that kept falling apart. And then Alana was our musical guest. It was, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then we had, we, we basically had a line of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which we would bring onto the stage and then have as a guest in the show and then send them off. It was super fun. It was great. It was, it was chaos. Those are always the things where you can't tell. Some people are just so confused or just watching that it's not like, it's not like a comedy show where it's like, wait, hold for laugh, big laugh. Okay, let's keep going. It's just like nonsense stuff happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Changed it for the third time. I did it, I haven't done it in a year. It's the last time I did it, it was the last time. So, were you nervous or no? No, yeah. Oh, you were. So, my situation was, the last time I did it there, I wasn't that nervous. The first time I did it, which was for the, uh, the kinda funny doc, I was very nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wasn't as nervous. I was kind of more excited at the opportunity to refine some of the jokes and perform it for a larger audience this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this I was nervous because they uploaded that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And me being me said, well I can't do any of those jokes now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My material was already out there, and so I was like, well I guess I have to do all new material.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something amazing about watching people who talk for a living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're absolutely terrified about having to talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, like, especially kind of funny guys, like, soooo, soooo nervous to sweat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Upstart. Can I just say that one of the things that made me the happiest about RTX was that those guys did their panel and it wasn't just them sitting up there taking questions like Q&A. They were like, it's a show, like they, I think that's a testament to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had also coordinated before our Arizona Circle panel started and we were like, as soon as this is over, we can't do any like, pictures or signings or whatever. We have to go immediately because there's a bridge that took you right across from the floor we were on to where we needed to be. And then we got out, went, and the bridge is closed, and we're like, great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People seem very excited about it. I mean, we showed a full episode, the full episode of season one, uhm, not the pilot, uhm, but, uh, at first night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it seemed people were laughing in the right spots and, and seemed to enjoy it. And then we ultimately throughout the rest of RTX, we showed two more full sketches from later on in the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of not supposed to do it, but I almost wish that we were like, alright, we're gonna do an offsite funhouse meetup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of like, funhouse fans. But dedicated. But that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ultimately what the funhouse panel and what all those things are, like, we can't do that anymore because it would just destroy a building somewhere else in Texas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was two, two, a couple together. Was there a woman? Yeah, yeah. In a couple. It was a married, a married couple, I believe. I forgot about Motorcycle Guy. Motorcycle Guy showed up late and jumped through a bush to reach us, even though he just needed to walk five feet to get around. That is way cooler than that. And we hung out for a little bit and chatted, and then when we were leaving,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone kind of like went off in their separate ways. Also, a motorcycle guy said, hey, if you're ever in the greater Boston area and want to buy a motorcycle, let me know. And I said, I will. I absolutely will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also, not only that, it's all fully immersive, right? It's not like you're a voyeur, you're supposed to be someone that rolled up to this place, like a character in the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, they don't have Star Wars logos on anything, right? It's all, like, they try to hide it from you. I like the merch. Yea, but even that merch, like, I heard it was outside of the Galaxy's Edge section. Like, if you want to buy a shirt that says Star Wars, you have to leave that area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But normally like if you show up to Disneyland dressed as like Aladdin they'll just throw you out. You can't be full Aladdin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though you clearly have hair and would not look like- Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, you yourself have undergone some beefage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was since you guys knew me. I mean I ran like cross country in high school but other than that not really much interest in physical activity to be honest with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, metabolism was running strong for a long time. Really got my money's worth out of that. It was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then at some point, the machinima started to dip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when I'd eat like two medium pizzas by myself, I'd be like, oh, what age is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, I don't know, it's post-breakup, as so many gym journeys are, where you've kind of got that, just like, spite to hurt yourself, and you can just kind of really translate. It translates very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did both. I did both for sure. Uhm, but, uh, you know, I built those, those steps there. Gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it is. I mean, it was spurred by just like me dating a vegetarian and having like an ulcer and drinking and just doing a bunch of bad habits. Okay. But, uh, you know, I could stop. I guess it would be easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, an ectomorph, I guess is the term for it. Uh, you know, like your Doug Jones type, where it's like, he was like, how do I put on weight? And I was like, I said the same thing. I was like, just eat more, and eat a lot more, I guess. I've used Mass Gainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you like, you know, if some people it's like, okay, do I eat like 20 cheeseburgers or is there like a cleaner alternative? And that can be kind of helpful, but I don't know with some of those guys, should be never got bigger. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they could follow that and just, just about replacement. Like if you are a vegetarian, you're just, you're still trying to get that protein intake and it's just like, okay, do I get it through like whey protein or now it's like in 2019, all that pea protein, which I'm all about right now is like super good. Yeah. What is pea protein?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I assume it's from chickpeas. Yeah. Really leaned in on at this point. Yeah. Where like, you know, like you'd have like oat milk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now there's pea milk. And a lot of people are like, pea milk? But for me, especially like if you're trying to be super lean, pea milk, you know, you're gonna have like zero carbs in pea milk, and it tastes better, the consistency, it mixes really well and stuff, and it's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that Beyond, uh, Beyond Meat stuff that I've also really been introduced to lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's all pea protein too. It just like really nailed whatever that texture is, but it holds together better. It bleeds. It holds moisture. It's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know like the meme where like your eyes turn red? Yeah. When I hear the words keto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got eaten in that way, but I think the concept and like the buzzword of like keto and the way that people try to just like hammer smash it to their lives is what I get triggered about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess there's also like eating, like you're striving towards that and then like actually putting your body in ketosis, right? Cause it's like, kind of specific.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the, the, the fasted state is more similar to ketosis. Cause I do, I do IF now, which has been cool, but to me it doesn't feel like the way like when I would try to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Court ketosis and like immediately get sick and like wanna lay on the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to anchor this topic, but I just want to support everything that you just said. That's what triggers me, I think. Okay. I know a lot of people who are like, yeah I'm doing keto, I'm trying to lose 5 pounds, 10 pounds, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's such a buzzword and people, you know, look for those easy answers for things, right? Like in the same way that you would like tweet us and be like, what's your workout?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, like you say, it's a functional tool, but if you don't have a healthy relationship with food,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keto is probably like one of the worst things you can like lean all in on because it's, it's already an unhealthy, like the way you have to scrutinize and then treat food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just, all you're gonna do is like, every time I've seen it for people I know who don't have good relationships with food, it's like, you do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Experiment and do some of that body hacking stuff that's like fun and rewarding where you're kind of like, oh, well this, this is working really well for me in a way that maybe it doesn't work for every other person, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people just apply that buzzword and want those fast results and it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just get so upset when I'm like, why not just take the time that you would take dedicating to some crash diet for like three weeks to like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do a little research, set up the foundations for something that will actually benefit you long term. And then you don't have to like redo those first three steps like four more times that year for like a pool party or like, you know, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to be that obsessive where you're like, I'm going to live my everyday life the way The Rock lives on set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For six months. If only. You know? Yeah. It's a, but it's like, okay, like you should be able to enjoy things and like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those, both in the fast, easy answers and then in the like, just like the impossible expectations. It's like, allow yourself to enjoy your life. Like right now, I'm being a piece of shit. I've been eating like sh- I know it's pool season, the last couple weeks I was like, who do I have to impress? And I'll pick it back up, you know, a couple weeks from now. When you're ready. Yeah. But like, cool. That's quality of life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of my genetics, I have had just come to terms with that. I have nice arms and shoulders, and I feel good about that. But no matter what I do to my chest, it's just kind of there. It's just there. It's like, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need that broken down for me, instead of how that works on a physiological level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also helpful in the fact that like when you do it for the first time, you're kind of like, how could I go to the gym and not possibly immediately refuel my body? How could I get through a day without eating lunch? I mean, I would get- You're a morning workout guy, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So going to the gym in the morning and like pushing it hard and then not immediately like slamming something because that was like the conventional wisdom of 20 minutes after you. And it's like, guess what? You're not going to die and you can not eat lunch and you won't die and you could probably not eat the whole day and maybe get a headache at the end of the day, but you're also not going to die. So, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should work on a ranch. You probably don't need our advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You shower there and then come back. Shower, shower. You just come back and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like even like having the empathy for like someone who it is their first week, I'm like wow, they're in much more pain, and like they haven't gotten over that hurdle yet, so like that's like extra props for me when I see it. We have endorphins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I mean I think your, your suggestion is a good one. You know, you wanna be limber and not like a decrepit old, you know, mummified king on the throne when you're 70 or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and uh, you know, it's a good catharsis. I feel like stress would have killed me several times over without the gym in my life. So, just continuing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having good, healthy conversations with other gym boys. Sure. Yeah. We need something to talk about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would assume. You look very healthy now too. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The leader of the miners in Chernobyl, when he's just walking around naked. He's like a stout dude, but you know, he like fuckin' tears walls apart and he's just like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, funny story about that one, it was the recording of Spotify ad and it's just, they're loud and obnoxious and I was just making a horrible noise and mess and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler goes, hey that was kinda quiet, I don't know if we caught that one on the audio. I just lost it. It took me like an hour to clean up the kitchen and reset that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I thought we'd stick to the beat sheet that we planned out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know. Reddit is a fickle place. They will love you or they will hate you and they will change your mind, their minds the next day. Uhm, I don't know, I just, I like to sprinkle in some kind of topical memes and stuff sometimes, just relatable stuff, and if someone can go, ah, I see that, or eh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a bunch of people that were like, this is bullshit, like you guys just filmed two eventualities and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that helped a lot because like, I started out making content almost specifically for the YouTube Haiku subreddit, which is 30 second or less just comedy videos and stuff. Uhm, but the flip side of that was, I would get really clickable, short, rewatchable links, but you didn't make any money at all. You make no money at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the demonetization, the adpocalypse, the first one just completely destroyed me, but now here we are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, where I came from, I come from a town of a thousand people. If you don't obtain your food before 6pm, nothing's open for a three hour radius around you. Like, it's nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, that was so, such a weird, beautiful turn of events, cause it's like, I was shooting it so last minute, before like, everyone was leaving town, and it was a day where like, you got everything going on, and I was just hobbling together the script, and Jamie's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is like, it's a, it's the low-budget series and it's like a low-budget retelling of like, a lot of genre tropes from like, just whatever. So we did like, low-budget rom-coms and then we're making fun of a bunch of like, romantic comedies and then we're gonna do like, sci-fi next or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, it's just a web series right now for Comedy Central. I'd like to do more work with them in the future, but it's nice cause they don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually really cool if they don't do that. Yeah, it's, they've been really cool to work with so far. Yeah, there it is. And it's like, we're not even, I mean, we just use our little point and shoot camera. That's your offices too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, our, my, the camera died and I brought one camera and one battery for a little point and shoot, so like, I shot a few scenes just on my old like, S7 cell phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what always bugs me? We were talking about this before. Do you ever get this where like sometimes people will tweet it at you right when you drop a video? You know, it's usually like everyone drops a like on it. But there's a guy, I get this all the time, people will screenshot it and send me a picture of the first down vote and be like, sorry Gus, I love you but I had to do it. It's like, fuck you though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think astronauts use styluses? Stylize? They should probably use, that would-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, doing a show at the Irvine Improv. Tickets are sold out there, but then I'm doing a second one in Oxnard as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you get going with that? I, uh, was not leaving the house for two weeks, uh, in November, and I was like, I gotta get out of the house. If I make myself have to do something, then I have to do it. So then I just texted my manager and said, hey, I'm doing a live show in March. And then I was like, shit, now I have to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Irvine one seats 500, and so I'm happy about that, and then the Oxnard one seats I think like about 400, and there are still tickets available for Oxnard, so please buy those for the love of God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gus is right. Outside of high school, no. Dude, I used to kick ass at the Spellin' Bee Circuit though. No joke. I did too. Dude, I would just ream through the competition. I love Spellin' Bees. Did you spell ream? Ream? R-E-A-M if you're talking about paper. There are different forms of ream. Okay. That's true, I don't know how to spell the not paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last time though, cause for the tournament, if you keep sucking, they put you against suckier kids, so that you keep maybe hopefully winning once. And the last guy, I was gonna beat him, but it was this skinny little kid with braces, and he was, he was going,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that an award category or? It is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that, is Rachel Ballinger, is that Colleen's sister or something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels weird. Also, regardless, it's like, my mentions have been unusable for the last month. Cause when someone votes for you, it automatically at you on Twitter. So it's like, thank you for wrecking my mentions for a month, shorties. I mean, thanks for inviting me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's more sad than anything, cause the thing is too, in the grand scheme of like YouTube stuff, it's not like a big like, everybody look out this is Watergate of YouTube here, you know? Everything's Watergate. Everything's Watergate. I mean, you do have a number of big channels that are like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Directly, fully lying about the content of the videos where you're like, hey, I'm winning an iPhone out of the stacker machine. Like, I'm winning $10,000 out of this claw machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they don't do that, like they just literally don't. And a couple of the bigger channels too will go to like an arcade and make it seem like they fairly won all this stuff, but then they own the arcade. So like you can doctor the machines to win stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the thing is, yea, there's some where it's like their family owns the arcade. Most of the time these guys will say like, I'm winning an iPhone X from this claw machine. They'll stretch out 12 minutes, you know, to hit that extra add mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they will say, okay guys, so we couldn't win the iPhone, but I still wanted to win the iPhone, so I got this box and I'm just gonna put it into my claw machine at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, well, to answer the first part, I think it's genuinely, we're really nice, and no one really has any problems with us for the most part, and we're not, we're not really calling for, like in this one too, I'm not saying like, YouTube like, take all this shit down and stuff, we're just saying like, this is weird and it seems like it's really going against,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like YouTube's policies and stuff, so like maybe look at this kind of thing, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was like, I don't know. You did. Like with the, I talked about like Chris Brown on a previous one, which was clearly a huge shit show that I knew was gonna happen too. But that's the thing is I get, most of what I do,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, like, do such a deep dive. It's mostly just like, hey, look at this thing that I found here, like, get some eyes on this, you know. Eddie's research is far and above better than mine. I wouldn't even say mine's actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, there's no precedent for any legal stuff on YouTube with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's how I felt even after this one too. I fully like stand by everything that like I said in it and it's all truthful what I found too. I think in the future I would probably save more of a little expose thing if it was a more serious thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh well, I like mostly doing goofy stuff for these desk ones, you know, like talking about Chris Hanson's comeback, how he's got a YouTube channel now, and that kind of stuff. Oh dude, he is back. He is back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a format that never grows old, like you always want to see bad people just sweating and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, I- he has meat on his laptop right now. Sticker, hot damn hot dog. There it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't do that. Because you can say, YouTube, get your shit together, get this shit off the site, but also don't say, hey, brands who are looking to potentially renegotiate better ad deals, here's the perfect ammunition that you have right now, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, in the video, the guy specifically suggested, again, I feel bad even pulling specifics from the video, cause we watched it one time, at least I watched it one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the biggest thing with this issue, uhm, I mean, even for us, like, a lot of people are afraid to talk about it because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly, the number one biggest issue with everything to do with this is that children are being taken advantage of negatively on the side. It's like 99% of the priority for it. Yeah, that is the number one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's fix this shit so children stop being taken advantage of on this platform. You can't fucking make child porn disappear everywhere. It's shitty, but we can fix this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the only problem that like creators would have with how this specific video was presented was this dude taking shots at the individual brands and that's what scares us. Obviously it's like kids first, wish it would have been presented better. But it's, I'm glad it's coming to light, I wish it would have been presented better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just weird. It's, yeah, any angle, like, people are afraid to talk on it. Like, even my answers, I was trying to choose my, my language very carefully and have it be like, kind of child first. That's the biggest fucking issue here. But, it's just weird to, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Because isn't, uh, YouTube just like, financially not profitable for Google overall? I don't know. That's what I read once in a little junket. And that's the extent of the knowledge I have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really it. That's our channel over there. Gus Johnson, Eddie Burback are our main channels otherwise. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, well, I think we, we dude souped. Does anyone have anything else they wanted to say about OTX or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just want to say thank you again to everyone who came and said hi. You were all lovely and that's awesome. You made us feel good. So thank you. Uhm, and we will catch you on next week's episode of Tootsie. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] E3 was last week and we played, I don't know, like 10 video games maybe? So today we're gonna talk all about everything we played at E3. Join us on this week's episode of Dudesuit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Alana, it's name. I have a couple of things your team might be interested in reporting on. Needless to say, you never got it from me. Like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rage one would be really good. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Explosions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This podcast is brought to you by Qwip, Squarespace, and Upstart. I'm Alana, that's Lawrence, and that's Adam. Yo, what's up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, is that your new intro? Bad boy Ankovic. Yo, what's up? He says. I mean, howdy y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be honest, sometimes on a Saturday, I'm hanging out playing video games, I won't shower. If I'm not leaving the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even then I feel bad about it. And I'm like, have the thought and be like, I don't want to do it. So I'm not gonna do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I actually mostly sit in the shower. But, uh, it, it's on the floor. Yeah, I mostly will sit down while I shower. I get dizzy if I stand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but I'm also, my apartment is very clean because I have asthma so bad. This is a long list of things, it's like, here's what's wrong with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I'm gonna like legitimately go like full cyberpunk. I'll go to their office and do it. Uhm, and then this little guy is from Out of World, which, uh, we also saw gameplay of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's also just that when you shave your legs, sitting on the ground is a lot easier than some women do it like standing or they dry shave and just, I don't want any of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other games I have listed are Outer Worlds, Battletoads, Link's Awakening, Doom, which I really want to talk about, Final Fantasy VII, Halo Reach on PC, and Gears 5 Escape. You had to play the remake? Yes. Quite good. Okay, I heard some people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they let me play. But Cyberpunk! Yea, what did, uh, vague impressions. Let's start brawl. What did you guys think? What did you take away from the demo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so the backstory thing I know is the thing that you pick at the very start of the game, same as the character creator, that's all at the very beginning of the game, but I guess like, I like that you have your backstory, that means it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More like the tabletop game where you're actually investing in a character that you're playing an RPG with and I think that's really cool, but you're right that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coolest thing about this demo and the thing that I think makes it the hardest to have just shown to the public is that they swap between two builds so much and it was basically, I think they call them a netrunner was the actual class, but it's like an engineer and tack a build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the UI looked really good too, because that's one of the things that even with mods I didn't think the Witcher 3 was great about was some of the UI stuff was just very obtuse and the inventory management can be really annoying. This looks a lot more polished, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can talk your way out of the final boss fight. I love that so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, did I read the sponsors? If not, they're Qwip, Squarespace, and Upstart. Excellent. I'm glad I did. Uh, the thing that impressed me the most, I think, this time around was, okay, the moment that I got the most excited about, like, in the first demo was him, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is very much GTA to me. If I were to describe it to someone like, is it like The Witcher? Is it like, people have asked me if it's like Dragon Age. It's like GTA to me a lot. Uhm. But with like, stats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really sure, but like, I imagine the crash that happened is basically the crashes, because everything's a system. Uhm, and then reboots, which is also just a very cool thing that I feel like the whole time we're playing through this game, it's dumping lauretuses, which is gonna be really fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he managed to reboot, which he shouldn't have been able to do, so when he has a cool chip. Yeah, so when he goes back to, uhm, the people who betrayed him, they're like, wait a minute!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be fair, we saw, uh, the Animals this time around, which is a new gang, and everyone does look really, really, really distinct. Like, all of the different gangs and classes look really different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the animals are a gang that uses this stuff called juice, which is basically steroids. Basically, they're all super buff. Uh, but I really love the character design of the leader of the animals who's just like this super buff woman with like dreads and a hammer. It was very, very cool and a really cinematic boss fight that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They say that with Dishonored as well and I tried and I couldn't. So here we are. Stealth is hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's one of the things that I'm most interested in seeing that I don't imagine they can show us until the game is out is how...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, loads of cool stuff, and I mean, I don't have that many gameplay questions left now. I feel like I have an understanding of most of the gameplay. I do wanna know what all my upgrades are gonna look like, and I do wanna know more about weapon variety. But aside from that, I'm like, pretty, pretty well feel like I understand what it's gonna be. It's a little dea-sexy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I assume that you'd go back to the foodie boys, but you're probably right. Hopefully there's more variety than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean yeaah, it's all in the same lead up. I think that you get choked out is what actually puts you in there. I know that's the problem is I don't remember all of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I like most of my fantasy stuff, is like, till technically Lord of the Rings, Frodo's not a chosen one, he just gets the ring. The only thing that makes him chosen is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't think it was that bad, but they did manage to make Channing Tatum not hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was fine with the laser skates, I did not like the ears. I have to do my first ad read, which is from Quit!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's time for spring cleaning, and Quip's got an easy way to start with your brushing habits. Just two minutes twice a day can help pave the way to a healthier mouth and mind, and now the whole family can get refreshed with Quip, the new


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids quip has the same 2 minute timer and guiding pulses as the original version with no childish gimmicks so they can brush just like a grown up. The new kids brush is the same as the original brush which I think we all use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just tweaked for size down mounts. Kids are inspired to brush better and more often with oral care that looks and feels like the products the adults in their life use and they're proud to use Quip so you can help them develop a grown-up routine without anything seeming too kiddy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a small brush head, watermelon anti-cavity toothpaste, and a rubber grip handle in colors little ones will love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you're thinking about getting quip and you've got some kids in your family, hook them up to make sure kids are brushing for a full two minutes right from childhood so they keep up those habits as adults and don't have any dental hygiene problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just another awesome thing about Quip and why they service over 1 million happy, healthy mouths. Quip starts at $25 and if you go to getquip.com slash dude right now, you can get your first refill pack for free. That is your first refill pack free at getquip.com slash dude. Thank you to Quip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it has some kind of, I don't remember what it was called, like a system that just prevents it from being fried somehow. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love stuff in games like the scarecrow stuff in Arkham Asylum. Whenever they get weird on me, I'm always like, twist the world and make me like second guess what things are. And I remember that first time you do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's where we're already at a point where you can falsify anything anyone has said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I don't want you to tell me to vote for Trump. Like I'm not being like, be extra political! But I would like them to at least present a point of view or a stance of some kind. It is a sci-fi game, but it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not too far from that. I just want that black mirror effect where I'm entertained but also like, have to confront something, you know? And I actually fully have faith that they will do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the vibe I get from it. Oh yea, yea, they don't need to make the character have a stance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is the same as Black Mirror. Yea, kind of. It's like, it's generally not, I don't even want to watch it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but point being, I just want cyberpunk to challenge me and make me scared. Cause I'm already, there's something about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that information technology is heading right now that I'm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Permanently terrified of, but also very excited by at the same time, and a video game being exclusively about that, while other things are pushed on it, and like, yes, more of this content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess I hadn't even thought about what the invisible walls will be on how I'll do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So after, I think Elise pointed it out in a gameplay one time, now I can't unsee it, that Tom Cruise's front teeth are like over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the thing that consistently blew me away in the demo was the same thing as last year is everything is so detailed. Like one of the animals is eating pizza and it has full topping on it. You can just like look at it and you see every single topping that looks individual. Like it's just so, so, so detailed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and a lot of that stuff didn't feel that scripted, like I'm sure it happens there, but it didn't feel as scripted as I would have thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that every time they release a new GTA happens is this detail that you wouldn't have thought of, like in, uh, I think it was in 4 actually that NPCs would put their newspapers above their heads as soon as it started raining. And then, you know, obviously we get Red Dead 2 where people have, every person has a conversation and we're just like, how does this happen? And I feel like Cyberpunk is just tapping into that same thing where,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NPCs are just engrossing us more and more and more and it's very, very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I love, it's so cool that we have an explanation for all that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess we technically can't give CDPR the credit for creating the world because it's so iterative, but I feel like they've done a fantastic job of adapting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think 2 is when it became mainstream, it still wasn't huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, the fun thing about that one is that the reason that they did that, and I was told this by an ex-employee, is that the company's owner, his daughter, wanted a green card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. So they're like, studio in Hawaii, let's go! I mean, I guess it's a little closer to Japan? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] International devs, there's some guy on the team who's just like, I would like to have an office in California. And then they just do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is very cool, actually. It is cool. You jumped to Final Fantasy, but I have to do another ad read. You got it. This one is from Squarespace, because this video is sponsored by Squarespace.

[Assistant] Space, I don't know why I'm screwing up my words today, is an all-in-one platform to build a beautiful online presence and run your business.

[Assistant] Actually I have new writers who are trying to get into games media ask me all the time how to get their writing out there and I highly recommend starting a portfolio that includes everything you've written even if it wasn't published elsewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just throw it on your fancy Squarespace site and link it to all your social channels and you're already ten steps ahead of most other new writers who kinda just throw stuff on Twitter or don't advertise their writing at all and then they're like, but how does nobody know I'm a writer? You gotta put yourself out there, so Squarespace is a great way to do that. If you wanna go even bigger, maybe, uh, your writing, you wanna amass a team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a new feature on Squarespace is that you can have multiple contributors on one site with a site manager. So basically you can have lots of people writing all at once, and you can organize who has what permissions, plus simultaneous posting to automatically post anything written by anyone to Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr, etc.

[Assistant] Whatever, they, I mean... Can I buy it at my town square? Or whatever the fuck they call them now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we say that, but then sometimes I'll like, go screen a video here and the editor's PC will crash and you have to like, close an open Premiere. Like, we have pretty good stuff. Like, Premiere is pretty, a tech eats a lot of RAM.

[Assistant] I'm very bad at Photoshop, do not have the skills because I never learnt, but I use Pixlr, which is browser-based and does enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would 100% do that, because that's such a useful skill, especially the amount that we need it here, and then I have to be like, I don't know how to do this, I can do it, but I don't think that I can do it to the right quality, is the issue. I'm like, I don't want to just like hand in something that's like, Alana, why is this the wrong aspect ratio? I'd be like, ahahaha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one of my cosplay photographer friends, Martin, sells packs that are for specific things he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, do we have any closing thoughts about Cyberpunk? Anything anyone else wanted to- I just wanted to say it looks goddamn beautiful and I can't wait for it to be out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing totally different stuff. Thank you. It's happening, Oma. We really, really appreciate that. We're all gonna do that. April 2020.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I wanted to talk about the Outer Wilds real quick before we close out. Oh yea, not Outer Wilds. No. Different thing, both very good games. Which I am so into right now, holy crap. Fantastic game. Outer Wilds is the Obsidian game which is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I didn't love the trailer they showed at the start of the Xbox conference, but then seeing gameplay, I was like, oh, excellent. It's New Vegas in space, is what it is. 100%. Like, back to front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like, not even pretending to not be New Vegas in space. It was so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that I was very, very happy about it. It looks awesome, uh, it's really cheeky, it has a lot of that obsidian humor that's really cool, and you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the dialogue trees and the mission that they show us in that demo was basically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the way they all look and the way that they like integrate with each other and it just, it's just so full out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will still defend that, but four, she didn't care for it at all. I tried.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I feel like I don't even need to elaborate on that. It's just very cute, very obsidian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That one caught my interest. That and Deathloop both do similar things. I did get to play Doom as well, which is basically like Doom 2016 but on crack. It's just like so intense and there's so much to do. It was my favorite game that I actually got hands on time with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you shoot flames and based on like the thing that you choose, like you can shoot flames at people or pull out your chainsaw or shoot or hit someone and that will all give you basically like ammo or health or whatever. Like basically what attack you use will give you whatever thing that you're after and that just means that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I was playing I was constantly changing and obviously you still have a weapon wheel as well, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just feels like there's constant variety and also introversial now as well. Uh, you can...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can swing on a bar and then like double jump and then double dash in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so getting around is just way more freeform. And you can also just like fly over enemies if you don't want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I'm okay with. There's no like flutter or anything like Quake, but it totally does feel Quakey. It was just ridiculous and awesome. Is the music awesome? Because it's Mick Gordon again. Music was very, very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I haven't either, so like backwards compatibility always launches, like with the Xbox 360 or whatever, but I haven't been through the menu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I guess I was a little confused too at first, but it's basically like Left 4 Dead mixed with Call of Duty Zombies, and it's also cool. It's my hot take. It's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did it in 12 minutes, it wasn't that good. I refuse to dab, I have not once done it and I will not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Battle Toads, which there's no way we're not doing 100 gameplays of that because it's also very hard, very good, dumb, fun. It's Battle Toads. Did you finish the demo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's some things that like, I would summon something, but I wouldn't really know what it was hitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It got my hopes up. And a t-shirt. Thanks for the Battle Toads t-shirt. You got a shirt? Dang. They ran out with something. It's cause I was, it's cause I was cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like Overwatch, but goofier, and also, uh... More melee focused? Melee, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put the guy with the sword, who I would guess is...
