[Assistant] In, uh, in any other, other decade, we would probably all be hung for our beliefs. Uh, probably burn at a stake at some point, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or our brains were developed enough that we knew that we knew how to use technology, but the technology of the time, so like, you knew how to record a show using VCR, you knew how to memorize your best friend's phone number and the 18 other ones and those sorts of things that you just, we don't do anymore because it's just all automatic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, what are these roaming bills?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also a time when you wanted to talk to people, as opposed to texting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where they had commercials where like, call your loved ones. Now it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here's the thing, you can go to the cat's premier red carpet event. Your plus one though has to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oof. Your plus one has to be Jackson Galaxy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he's the guy who does your cat from hell on like the travel channel or uh, pet network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I told you, I've only seen one episode of the show. Yeah. And it's where he went over and he was like, I'm going to this woman's house who, who says that her, her cats are going crazy. I don't know what's going on. And he walks in and there's 13 feral cats outside, like scratching in the window, pissing everywhere. And he goes, he comes and goes, Hey, what's with those feral cats? He goes, Oh, I feed them. And he goes, I think they're making your cats inside go crazy. He goes, Oh, you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. And like within three seconds solved it because this woman's a psychopath, but he speaks psychopath, so it worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I saw the thing. He's one of the meanest wrestlers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a lot of- I would say in terms of batting average, wrestling documentaries, the best. Some that I've even participated in. Highest reviewed, highly recommended documentaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that what this really needs is a commercial of someone using any other console and then, but then they accidentally pour like a glass of water on it and it goes black and white and they go, oh no, whatever. And then it says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long is it going to take for the computer to process one turn in Civ 6, late game now? Cause this would be faster or shorter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime I hear a name like that, I think about the engineer and the software dev who like worked hand in hand, and they're like, we've just, we, it's called the XVXPX24, and all those letters and numbers mean something, and the marketing guy goes, can we call it the velocity? Because it's fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they, they probably are, but whatever Seagate is paying them or something, whatever deal as they're like, this is the only way we can offer this system to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, I mean, how come things don't play HD DVDs too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my, my, the question for me is going to come down to where can I play the most games, right? So if the Xbox Series X is compatible with my PC the same way Xbox One has been,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I prefer that. If Sony was like, the PlayStation 5 is coming out, this is the hard box we're gonna have. Also, there's gonna be a Sony app that allows you to play any game that you own on, uh, on that on your PC as well. Then like, oh, maybe Sony. But like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I just, it's so hard, unless it's a Switch, it's so hard to find time to be like, TV, living room, this console, now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phil is gonna come out E3 this year. Quote me on this. Phil Spencer. Phil Spencer is gonna come out E3 this year. Onto the stage. E3 is not where Microsoft press conference is separate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bah! And knock it. And then it's gonna- the box sides are gonna fall off and it's got a little chrome cast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus. Jesus. I mean, come on, James. I'm sorry, I had to downplay the positivity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the sad truth is I think for a lot of people it isn't working because, because, you know, where we live and what we do, it is, it is something that we have. I don't think that is the case for everyone and I think that those are the people that are gonna get left behind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just make sure you don't move your hand underneath your purse. Yeaah. There was a, I saw a Reddit thread that was talking, cause like, a lot of people are using Zoom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which will let the meeting leader know, aka your manager or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If something, if something on your phone, like if you have the browser open on your desktop, watch Netflix on your phone. If you watch Netflix on your laptop, open the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if the wall prevents us from taking a nap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think about when like Bitcoin was on the run and they were like, oh, we can't make, sorry, we can't make graphics cards or graphics cards are sold out ever because of Bitcoin. And I'm like, on the grand scheme of things, I would like to see how many people actually, like how many people percentage wise of the world were actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buying Bitcoin, doing mining and doing, I know it was like a big thing, but it wasn't a big thing. This is a global event. So to think about the difference between we are, we still can't even produce these kinds of pieces of hardware due to this relatively minor event compared to a global event. It's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's, he was yelling with them, he was like, no distractions! Could you imagine what would happen if someone knocked one of those fire extinguishers over and caused a ruckus? Jared, I don't know if this is a good idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No yea, it's funny, but it is because it confirms that Jared Leto believes 100% in Jared Leto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. And it's not even like, you know, you know that sometimes there's those actors that are kind of like up in their head. Sometimes you listen to a Meryl Streep interview and you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you, like, you seem to think that acting is the only thing that matters kind of thing. Uhm, but, uh, Jared Leto is just, he is completely immersed in himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's not necessarily in the wrong in the documentary, but to watch him explain why someone else is wrong, you're like, I hope that record label takes them for everything they're worth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean he, I think he is a good actor, it's just, it's, it's, sometimes it's frustrating, it's like, like, anytime you open your mouth and it isn't a line someone's written for you, you're like, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also again, as we already pointed out, 12 days ago this was still happening. Right. So where were you then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I did a, so was somehow in isolation, came out of it to see all of this happening, I would be like, that's embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't run to tell people how stupid I am. That's the thing. He is sprinting to show how out of touch he is with a global world event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We haven't even thought about what this is gonna do to Morbius release. Oh my god. I don't know how many more weeks of mount up I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think Jared Leto said, he said, I will not allow this to affect the release of Morbius. This is war. And then he started playing the song This Is War from the album This Is War.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know the one- That's the album he wrote to tell his record label that he hates them. He wrote them an album.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they might think that what you're drinking is vodka or some, any other clear water or something that, that could affect cause you're, if you've got a cleaning. Yeah, maybe they think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no, I would say because it was a medical office, they're probably only supposed to use the shit that's verified and used in that office. And so, yea, it is mind control serum, though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I mean, just basically, uh, a handful of us are like, okay, well, we've accepted that we are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are a cluster. I think the terms are clusters, right? So we're a cluster. So we can't really open that up to anyone else and, and so we might as well come in here and do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. It's the same as everyone said. It's tough when it's like, be funny when there's very serious things happening. I truly appreciate the opportunity to provide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it gets resolved, like six months from now, I don't know what it's gonna do to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what it's going to do to the company we work for or the company that that company works for or any of those things. These are like all big question mark repercussions in a world that is already full of so many uncertainties. No one has those emergency funds. No one can save up those types of things and so who knows what things are going to be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got an email that gym memberships are, they're just adding it to the end of year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it feels like Escape from New York because the roads are empty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then there's a thousand people in a line outside of a grocery store. No one needs to go anywhere except to get food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 6.30, I think I left at like 6.40 last night, so it's not cutting down on our hours by any means, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is easy, or to escape it, I think, here, than just staring at your window or whatever. Yeah, staying safe is important. But, island, no. Mental health is important. I don't know, I'll probably translate some sort of word like a pretentious asshole. I'll find, like, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? What? Do you think, are you worried though? Cause like, you know how people like bite their nails or whatever? Like I have the thing where I'm chewing and chewing and stuff. Like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and the, the, the fact that LA, you know, if you live on one side of the city, you're never gonna see someone that lives on the other side. So I was able to do that, which is nice. Uhm, on Christmas, with some friends, watched, uhm, Best Friend from Heaven, Chris Christopherson movie, where he plays a dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so we were concerned that the trailer, which is hilarious, Chris Christopherson voices a dog that gets hit by a car and then goes to heaven and then comes back. I'm back and I can talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, strange. Uh, in other big Hollywood news, I was, I was out to breakfast somewhere and I saw John Bernthal. Is that his name? Yeah, the Punisher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he seemed like, I obviously didn't go up to him, I don't really, especially if he was with his kids in his family, I'm not gonna go up and be like, punish her, punish me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is so exciting. I doubt anyone else's holiday could top that level of excitement and interest, so we might as well just move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, I definitely, my friend and I, she, her, uh, she had a camcorder and we made a stupid like video, and her, like around her house, it was like a scape from her house where, and uh, there was a part where I just, I do whatever and then I go, cut. That's how you did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I still wish, still wish that we could get, uhm, Seinfeld scripts. For like, what would the Seinfeld script be? Where Jerry gets a new phone, and Elaine looks at it and she goes, no, you can't, like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have an easier time holding the PlayStation controller than I do, because my thumb is warped. So maybe, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like our router is like behind, like we have it on a shelf. And then there's like a picture, a framed picture in front of it. So you don't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd reckon that the PS5 will be the last of the sequential naming convention, because PS6 just feels, it feels messy, it feels like PS5 feels like, okay, you're five generations of the PlayStation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they all in production concurrently? Yes. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peter Jackson must look at the production of the Avatar movies and get hives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause he's, he gets dragged into these year long productions, or years long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's what it was sold as last year. Yes, last year it was introduced as, oh, this could be an assistive living, work, uh, uh, device for infirm people, or just people that, that need assistance. Now it's, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's an assistive wearable exoskeleton for essentially serving as an at home gym.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love burgers, uhm, but I also love the environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So occasionally I do eat an impossible burger. I admire people that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, supplement or replace their diet with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, these replacement foods that, you know, are as impactful in the environment or save animals. Personally, that's hard for me to do because I loooove meat. But yea, CES Impossible introduced their newest product, which is a plant-based pork product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So wait, the restaurant you think has the lab in the back where they're growing the steak?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about them, we've talked about this before I think in videos, but for people watching anew, can you explain what about them doesn't make them healthy? Cause some people just, I do think, plant based with healthy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That TV that was announced last year that's supposed to come out this year that rolls in on itself, it's $60,000 projected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, okay, the TV rolls up into that thing, but then when you don't have the TV out, it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can theoretically get Steam on this. It's running Windows 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm interested. Well, but how powerful is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's laptop power. No, I don't think it's laptop powerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because I think right now there's the discourse happening that internet access is not a universal human right. That's because these companies want to maintain control. I'm so, John, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. You challenged me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's usually an echo chamber, and I tried to get like a... the John...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm back at work after two weeks off and was I supposed to and intending to wash my hair before I came to work this week? Yes. Did I? No. Where's this going? Anyway, I'm saying there's a government-issued level of tampon, right? That everyone gets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, of course, you can, if you want to buy the more luxurious tampons,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying that John's being incepted by these ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's like Memoirs of a Geisha, which has been described by scholars as like one of the most genuine and realistic accounts of geisha culture and history in Japan, written by a white man, white American man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll return. People loved her in our worst games gameplay. She's back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Matt Peake loves The Witness. Rightfully so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything I've set up has been- has failed. Everything we tried to do has failed. I feel- I feel ineffective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Well, I haven't, I haven't stood up from this chair since 9 AM this morning. Going back to what James said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Astroneer, baby. It's time to pick up Astroneer again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very curious where James hooks up the rings. How does that work? Are you hanging them from your ceiling?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or they're like, someone slaved away putting all these patch notes together and then like, they got, you know, they got deleted or something and someone went, send, oops, and it was like, yeah, they hit the door.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could try this black hole thing that we're saving for another event and then they turned it into this whole thing of like, yes, we meant to do all of this. We are brilliant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Destiny, not that we have to talk about Destiny, but I thought it was really interesting. We're like, it's now free to play and they have a lot of sort of just really throwing some in the deep end, but they tried to mitigate that as much as possible and be like, no, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything starts at 750. You're like, what's 750? Don't worry about the number. It's a big number, but like, imagine like playing a sport or something and they're like, you started at 750.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because like, you could take a punch, right? I could probably take...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say that's probably one of the more realistic things in games where you have a stamina bar except like a Dark Souls thing where if you just stay still it refills all the way up and in reality it would go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked initially if there's a story because I watched the trailer and it's like, it's, it's sort of weird where, you know, when games have lore and you're watching a trailer, you have no idea what the hell is going on. So when a character is like touching the water and be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's going on here? And you're like, is this, are these, is someone to be like, it's eight ball face, my favorite character. He made it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My Counter-Strike, people just like the one map and typically like, people like the one map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the battle royale thing sort of figured out and interesting where they go. Alright, you get one map and the map may change here and there, but it's so big you may not even notice. And if you do notice it's, it's actually, they made it interesting as opposed to people flipping out and like, great, after we learn a whole new map, they add lore and like interesting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can blow up gas stations now with eight ball face and crab man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do have a goof around mode too. Like, it's like the free roam. Like, I just wanna play with my friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they now have to bring the tutors back for chapter 2? Yeaah. If you want to be considered cool, I would say you do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, I was looking at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's back there on a desk and he has to keep it in this circle for a little while. Kid's head gets banged up a little bit, but man, he comes out the other way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you were asking us before this whole thing, like, what can, what can Fortnite do to outdo a black hole? Cause we all know black holes are the coolest thing in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Nintendo land, like a Disneyland, and now they are doing it. Only for the 2020 Olympics, because they need to do that, but what if they made Fortnite land?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think that the video game parts a little harder because there's Nintendo being very protective and they're like, you can't have Nintendo things on PC. It's gonna, there's gonna be like, no, don't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only because I've been on both sides of things like this. Anytime I think this happens, there were about 1900 things that went wrong that we didn't see. So I remember you saying, like, Nick can finally rest now. In reality, he's probably pulling his hair up because it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened? What happened? And then in the end it all turns out okay and all we see is a black hole and then a new game and in our mind we just saw the finished product and we go, they dreamed it and it happened. That's how these things go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's, that's the thing. I forget what it is. It's like young, young person YouTube or something. It's comments of young people on YouTube. It's on Reddit. It's like a, just a collection of it. But someone said like, man, I haven't done that in a Fortnite. And someone's like, like the video game. And it's like, Ooh, Fortnite meant, I don't know. And then there's like another one, there's a guy like in a lab coat goes, he looks like Rick from Rick and Morty. You mean, cause he's wearing a lab coat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use the sound effect from level four. There's just, there's ways you can do things that aren't, that aren't stupid, that like still have the same. There was a good, uh, a good, a well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Done interpretation of it in, uh, the show no one watched, Halt and Catch Fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which I recommend you go watch. It's already done. It's finished. It's great. Uhm, but the character, uh, Mackenzie Davis' character is a game programmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, depiction of video games and that because like she's working on a 3D game before like 3D games are huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everyone's complaining is like, I don't get it. And she's like, why can't I kill stuff? She's like, it's an adventure game. You like travel and they're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, that, that looks like it would have missed the mark back then. Like it was actually, it may have been actually a real game, but I couldn't recognize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just thinking that, not because I think VR is like the future, I think some form of it will be, the version we're using is just such early beta stuff, even like alpha, like it's not quite there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could see someone being like, we made Fortnite land. It's a 3D VR experience. And I, cool. I do it for free. Now it costs money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a similar thought to this, because 90s cartoons were really interesting. Last time we watched Beetlejuice, great Halloween movie, recommend you watch it if you've never seen it. They made a kids cartoon version of that, and as far as I know, the main characters of the movie are not in it. Yeah they are. Lydia and Beetlejuice are in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, compared to what we were sort of sold, where someone was like, I can make a cartoon out of anything Jim Carrey has ever been in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd make a great Batman. He goes, you're right, I would. Hey, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Beetlejuice was before Batman? I believe it was one year before, yea. Weird. Really weird. Gosh. But it's great, because it's like, you look at- Peewee's Big Adventure. Yea. Beetlejuice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's, it's a far cry from, I guess him playing the vulture. You know, I was like, you will play father. Want me to do anything weird? No, you're just a good old boy. Like evil. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, oh yeaah, they're there. They're in that movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never saw the movie. I just remember seeing the trailers as a kid where they're like, it's the ugly one, the fat one and the sexy one. I was like, why are they advertising the sexy one? Like I'm eight or nine or whatever right now. It works. There's a lot of weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like Once Bitten where that's sort of a plot point too, where they're like, Jim Carrey's a virgin, and then they like bang in a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is the one with Jack Nicholson in it? That's Eastwick. Oh, okay. And Wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No no no, it was uhm, it's a throwaway line, it's my favorite throwaway line ever in Venture Brothers. Oh yeaah. Where, uh, Colonel Gentleman is trying to teach Dean how to spot like a polymorph or whatever basically, and he's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, do all these episodes have like Salem the cat? It's like Sabrina the teenager, which is the only show with Salem the cat. Which is not true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, I feel like Devon Sawa, uh, his time was too early. He probably would have been better if he was born like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. The, the best interpretation of it was, uh, I think it was 50 shades grayer or whatever, the second one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] George had a magazine and the only work they ever show her do is when they go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think the font size should be bigger in this book. That's a great idea. And they walk away and that's the only work you ever see her do. But she also literally slept her way into that job. So, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The post-spiderman world was a fun one to walk through. You got things like Daredevil and Catwoman where they're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember, I remember John Favreau saying something kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't fire him already, he doesn't do anything. I want to see the part where Edward Nigma gets his, uh, he gets his paycheck, and he goes, what should I buy? How about like a guy in a giant glass, a glass thing that points a yes or no, or question marks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Herbie, right? Herbie the love bug?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Walt, this is where Walt's head will go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean they also did Waking Sleeping Beauty, which is another documentary about their...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a newer one, right? Yea, 21. Yea, I think they do a lot of these like, like these animal documentaries where animals don't kill each other, which is a little different. Let me know when you get to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, let's see what that's all about. They weren't, they weren't strong enough to make, uh, strong movies like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went to Dino, Dino Land USA and it's like Pandora, pretty packed. Other parts, pretty packed. Like a lot of different places. Like we went in a couple hour long lines and stuff like that where it's like to get on like, you know, Nepal's river rapids up and we go to Dino Land USA. Like you could hear a dime drop. You're just like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's a ghost town. People are like, hello! Would you like to go on the dinosaur ride? We're like, how long is the line? No line! Please! And it's just, yea, James is just gonna be like, gonna miss you.

[Assistant] The strawberry lemonade is the summer beverage. I was talking to, well we also, we didn't go to the Margaritaville, but there was the Margaritaville there. Uhm, but I was talking to Aaron about it and he was saying that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They play Margaritaville, I think once every 20 minutes. Well, yeah. So because where you are, well, the idea is that you visit, you're like, well, I want to hear Margaritaville. And then they play the three other Jimmy Buffett songs, but it's working. He talked to somebody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he, he talked to someone who worked there and like, so how many times do you hear the song? Like at least a hundred times a day. Like it's just, and then there's always the people who came in for dinner or lunch or a drink or whatever. They're for half an hour like, yeah, Margaritaville. They never hear it again. They leave, they go home. But then the poor guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bye everybody. Bye everyone. Thanks for watching. See you next week. Today's word is jack off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went home this weekend and my mom is, she's getting ready to, uh, she's getting ready to retire and she's, um, she's moving out of the house and I went to the closet where she kept a lot of VHS's that we grew up with and thankfully


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. We talk all the time. And then you go, high low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the whole point of the show, is that he's made to believe that he is alone in his theories and everything, whereas everyone else around him and above him knows, except for Scully, who is just kind of dumb as a brick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go back to your, whatever, you don't know anything, and he's told by all the teachers, that's the same, X-Files is the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if, alright, let me pose this question. What if you're wearing a tinfoil helmet, but you do a handstand, then are you vulnerable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. You mean a specific type of running form? Yes. Well, the only, I mean, without spoiling it, there's only one type of running form I've seen anyone run with and never be hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my favorite thing about this whole event is that everyone's information, like you RSVP'd to a break-in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really great. I like all the training. This is like me getting my alien friend out of Area 51. Oh yeaah. It's like whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like balancing on wires, did you see that? And I was like, man, if I was the kind of person who just took stuff from Reddit and posted it on Twitter, I would post that on Twitter with the banner saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me training my dog to try and get an area 51. I don't do that, so I didn't, but someone did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Where are those, the berserkers? Cause they, he had like a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is that sweet looking jet that looks like the Batmobile? It's a big black center fuselage and then it has the two twin engines on either side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is kinda cool, once human beings started to get a better grasp on science, we started creating our own mythologies, like our own urban legends, like it used to be like, WHAT?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first one, I wouldn't even argue. There's no way to comprehend the size and scope of this universe and I think it's very naive to say that there isn't life out there somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. Okay, here's what I think is. The only reason there's a native American on, uh, Alaskan Airlines. Uh huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can we just be as many words as we want? Sure, yea, okay. I'm forever young. Casual Captain America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're great all-weather shorts. Brought them to RTX.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that last night, we all wanted to hang out as good friends, wanted to go to the pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We invited some of our other friends too. One Blaine Gibson. He's like, uh, dang, I wore jeans. Guess I can't get in the pool. I said, don't worry, I have Stitch Fix shorts. Right upstairs. I'll bring them down for you. Gave them, and so I let him borrow my all-weather Stitch Fix shorts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fast forward later in the evening, he's eating food and mustard falls on his shorts. And then he has, with tears welling in his eyes, says, I'm sorry, I'll pay you for the shorts. And I said, it's fine, I'm sure it'll wash out. Brought them home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it because he's got such an interesting story. He claims to work at Area 51, he knows all this alien technology, but when it came to getting old and retiring, he still decided he didn't want to pay taxes, so he moved to Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did they, okay, okay, so now, but now there is something that uses that same technology. Well, they found, they found the element, yes, Muscovian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scrubbed, all scrubbed. Photoshopped away. Where he was, there's now just a big white block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if we established that we're an alien?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously we can't be there for everything, but we go to places where alien activity is known. We observe people who have been in touch with alien activity. We interview. We talk to Bob. We talk to Bruce's dad. We talk to all people associated with it. We go to the Area 51 thing, September 20th, and we document the experience. That's our new show. Wow. That's our new show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should always talk to your own doctor anytime you do anything that changes how your body works. But, you can go to your own doctor, get the prescription from them,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bring it to hims and then you can get the same medication for cheaper and more convenient because it's shipped to your door. You don't have to go to a pharmacy to pick it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You live in the Valley of Ash. Yes. Non-West Egg, like me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like that they didn't let him touch the other eight. Even in his story, he was like, no Bob. He said he worked on the sports model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about moon rocks, dog? We brought back bits of the moon. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to them, they're the organisms of the moon. We have abducted creatures from other planets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was, when I was a kid, like probably like between 8 and 11, we were studying the moon landing in class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Neil Armstrong was the first person on the moon, who was filming him? And my teacher just went, that's a great question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta protect myself from government interference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he had no idea. He found pictures of the wrong person. He also spelled Haley wrong. Oh, she's over there. Is that her on the right? Yes, that's her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely. I think Stephen King has more, but I don't think he got the fucking money for those books, all those books he did, that she's gotten for her handful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he has a fuck ton of money but she's one of the most wealthy people in the UK.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She A-List. Yea, A-List. Check record sales Robbie Williams versus Gwen Stefani. I wanna see it. Does that count? No doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's huge. That's pretty big. Yeah. Now Gwen Stefani, let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? He's on X Factor in UK, dawg. Yea, but not the voice in the US. Yea, but he was on X Factor in UK, where it started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] American Idol came from the UK. It's like being cast in the original office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is internationally known. I think he's out of my world but I think he's in every


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a bad photo. That's a bad photo. I picked the wrong one, of course. That one on the middle, where his face is almost half cut off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He made the Statue of Liberty DISAPPEAR for a group of 12 people in a specific spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

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


[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. She just plopped right in and now you get the first scoop of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been trying to do it with Kinda Funny lately, but no one's buying on. I really want the war for Andy Cortez to blow up, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't watch a lot of TV. And the only one, the only subscription I have right now is Netflix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I guess, but if they do that, I feel like they're alienating a pretty significant part of their audience, even the ones who aren't as tech savvy don't understand how streaming works, they don't have good internet connections, so I think that would be kind of dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moon Knight is a card carrying Avenger? What does that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes! You're right, Elias Spector was a Jewish prodigy who was made a rabbi at a very young age. When Hitler invaded Europe, Elias escaped to the United States, taking up residence in Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It says Moon Knight has a unique punishment for the worst criminals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think it's fair. I don't think any actual human would be worthy of that hammer anyway. As a side up. No one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like they can have a lot of fun with Mandalorian. That trailer was obviously awesome. It does look very Star Wars-y and my, like, one thing that I keep thinking is everything they show now, everything just looks like Tatooine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually wouldn't mind if even when these shows came out, they were like, they're not canon. But I wonder if that would get rid of the hardcore Star Wars fans. Surely that's like- I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw it three times. So they still got a lot of my money. But every time I was like, I liked it less. I liked it less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My grandparents lived in a, they had an awesome house in like old town Pasadena growing up. It was essentially like a mansion. No, they bought it in the 70s on like a teacher's salary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's usually where it's like, hey, I have a iPad or a MacBook, but I don't have an iPhone. They go, no iMessage. You only get it on the phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda got it to work, I just ended up switching to Signal. It's a better chat app anyway, so I was like, eh. Since Google's killing Hangouts because they can't decide what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what if every show we made was the best show ever made? Except Money Can't Buy. This can't go on, right? It'll only get you so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, apparently Apple stuff is not as popular in the rest of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a barrel. I don't know. Adam's dead grandfather watch still works in Arizona though. I think he did die in Arizona. Good guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Killmonger is great. I don't, I don't, I, I would like Apple to let, I mean, they'll never do this, but Google by messages was available on other platforms that ever like, yeah, any amount of open anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the best Apple ad you could ever do where someone's like they're in a burning building and they send help and it's really long and it's like, I was doing this and this and this and that and now I'm on fire, I'm in this location, but the other half doesn't say anything. He's like, do you want to kill your family member by an iPhone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Straight in my hat. Just my tie. Pick up my briefcase. I was unaware of this, but I guess, uh, in the US, we're still in the dark ages in terms of texting. Yeah. Cause like we still use SMS, which no one else uses. It's mostly MMS now. Everyone uses what, like the rest of the world uses Whatsapp or um, Telegram. Twitter DM dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, or, uh, a lot of people use Facebook Messenger now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bosnia-Herzegovina Film Festival. It's like, uh, it's like those crappy Chevy ads, when they're always like, JD Power, uh, Power & Associates. Who, who's JD Power & Associates? I've never heard of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that. I guess that's happened to me a couple times too. I think all of us, right? We've gone to like an early screening of a movie or whatever and then I remember


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect example, I saw the hit film Lucky Number Slevin before anyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those guys are so legitimately bummed how that movie got handled because they were like, they pitched it as a three million dollar movie and the studio was like, more, more, more, more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, that basically is funny cause that, that was like their dream and then it killed. I remember seeing that movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are gonna flip over this movie. It's not that great, but it looks so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Oh wow. I can't breathe when I'm around you. Is that what he says? I forget the lines. Pretty much, yeah. I don't know. It's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starship Troopers kinda had something like that. Where they're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, I did! I figured it out! And he's like, I just have a twin. Like, you-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did what? Yeah, it's, it's, it's like someone, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The third one. Are you gonna put dark forces on there? Yea, the third one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It had a bunch of different functionality it never ended up shipping with whereas like if you dock yours and your entire apartment complex docks theirs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they had the modular thing and then when they talk about, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a console that you can take with you. I remember being like, oh my god, if they can figure that out, that's going to be awesome. And they did. They finally made a portable console and it's, yes, totally get it. It's not as powerful as Xbox One X or PlayStation 4 Pro. Not even close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, you get a free copy if you play next door. It's like, what? Never expressed interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're playing Control on PC, so you're playing through Epic Game Store then. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's beautiful. It's gorgeous. Yeah, I do wanna play. How's it, Nintendo? So like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, Steam is, is the Netflix sort of thing. It's, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's too much, where you just see everything and you're like, I want something good. Nintendo


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While it does have its fair share of garbage, it's more like a criterion collection or like an Alamo draft house where you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I guess I should watch a movie about lions terrorizing a family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, movie Roar. Ryan Haley wanted us to go see it and he's like, he's like, yea, the lions actually attacked people in the movie and all the attacks that you see are real attacks that happened and like 75 people got like, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Pikmin 3. Uh, still never, I never got through Wind Waker HD. Oh yeah. Kept starting it and then going like, oh I'm tired. It stalls out after a while. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, like, playstations right now, like the more mature console, I think it's got the, it's like, hey guys, games have grown up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know nothing about that. Oh yeah, super server death training. Still don't know what it is, but I'm like, yeah, but uhm, yeah. And then, I dunno, I'm excited for the next generation. Just see what they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Lloyd, Andrew Lloyd, Andrew Lloyd Webber was supposed to work on chess, but he was too busy with cats and the success that I had overtaken. But then it's like, but also chess was pretty popular too. I was like, I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where you see hit plays like, uhm, The Cursed Child or, uh, what's the other one? Huffle Lumps or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when things go right, like, there's always an email saying, what the fuck is this? Yeah. You're like, but, but we did it right, like, doesn't matter, right? Like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This happens at every company. If something has gone right, it has probably accidentally skipped a step in the approval process. It pissed somebody off. There's one less cook in the kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were at six feet under? Did you play a cadaver? Uh, no I didn't. I actually had some lines, no. Did you? Oh no. You know what's crazy? Want me to tell you a quick story about that? Um, we were shooting a couple episodes of that and then Alan Ball walked up beside me, I'm watching something else, he goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In season four, I think I'm gonna have you come out of the television. And, cause I was, I was a character that Claire was watching. And she said, I think you're gonna come out of the television and start talking to her through the television. And then we'll do this thing where then she meets you and you're the actor, but only through the television is she talking to you. And I was like, that sounds great. Never happened. Never happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will Chamberlain, famous basketball player, he, he did, I think he said, he did, he literally said 10,000? Yea. And they actually looked at his, like his age and it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How does he have time to stop screwing to make a movie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I've had sex in a hotel, so I count every other person staying in that hotel. Cause they were within earshot. I'm a screamer. I'm a bit of a crier and a screamer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we got together with, so, uh, and I did a show called Con Man with Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillian, and PJ Harzma was one of the producers on that. And we became friends there too, and he has a studio space that we, we always talk about doing some stuff, and our other producing partner Drew Lewis, you know. Lewis. That's it, right? Isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a bit of a gamer himself. I think originally when we were all laying it out, it was kind of like, ah, it would be cool to see them play old games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, no, it's something I, yeah, it's just, it's one of those shirts, your t-shirt, it's a little, it's thrown on over, but it's, yeah, no, it's been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but come on, let's, seriously, my kids watch these, these YouTubers and they're like, and they do it, boom, and they're just crushing levels. Who are they watching that makes this sound?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not, they don't, they don't work. A lot of the movies, uh, don't translate because, you know, uh, Uncharted, again, just lost another director. It keeps going round and round. Oh, like adaptations of video games? Yeah, yeah. But the problem is, is like, like you said, you spent hours and hours playing Uncharted, and you are Nathan Drake by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's one of the other things we did on Retro Replay. Besides the retro games that we played, that was probably one of the biggest successes we had. I've never played Uncharted. So we came up with the idea, let's let people watch you play for the first time. 16 episodes. It was like torture. Watching myself die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, then it's like, okay, now I gotta get, I just was never exposed to that gaming culture. Until all of a sudden I'm in it, I'm part of it, and I gotta tell you, now I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now he's a kind, I mean, Bill Murray, I mean, this is a great documentary. But still crazy. Still, still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Bill Murray is different, I think, because Bill Murray is, I think he's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, there's stories, you gotta see that documentary, uh, where he'll just, somebody will be just, you know, bringing bags in, he's like, oh, can I help you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He walked up to a guy and stood behind a guy in a urinal, I think. The guy turned around and goes, nobody will ever believe you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he just walks away. That's not painfully normal. But he just, the thing is, he will show up and go to a party, and I think it's more for the sake of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's infusing himself as like, I know I'm a celebrity, I just wanna go hang out and have beers like a regular guy. I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I find that, but see, I find that to be, yeaah, but see the thing is, I find that to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a reason he's always playing these games. And I just wanted to go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should parent. And I told him, I said, just tell him to stop. It was New Year's Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Early in my career, I remember because Assassin's Creed came out when I did Desmond Uncharted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there was a couple of shadow complex and a bunch of these, uh, dark void and all these came out. Everybody said, this guy sucks. He only sounds like one guy, but that's what they wanted. And the only one that I ever tried to get them to change was Prince of Persia. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just, but the animation, that game is beautiful. Yeah, yeah. And, and it just didn't, you know, carpets this thick, Elica. It just didn't. By the way, another one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. I think for the most part, I would. I do. Acting's acting though. Hamill's the one who's always talking about people saying, do you like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People actually, I talked to him about it and he said, don't you hate when people say, do you like acting or voice acting or real acting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's all the same, but I think he's right, that if, when you're here and you're alone, I mean sometimes if, you know, in a, like when we did Young Justice, there'll be a number of us in the room, so we can actually react off each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the great thing, games or any kind of animation, any kind of, you know, anytime you're just using your voice, it's one of my favorite things about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aside from the time element, on camera stuff takes forever. Uhm, and I love it. I love doing on camera stuff as well, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I, I, as you get older and you've done some of the just uhm, 8 hour days are great. Yeaah, well yeaah, all of a sudden it's a 15 hour day and you know, you're somebody's dad who's, you know, the camera stays on them and you're just pushing the plot along. It, it just becomes sort of, you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The roles that I've gotten in voiceover, I'm limited, right? I'm limited by what I look like. My height, my weight, my color, everything. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, voiceover or anything. Or anybody or anything. Uh, I was a Viking beaver in a Nickelodeon cartoon. I mean, I mean, Unski, the Viking beaver. I mean, it was just, it was great. And you just get to have so much more fun and so much more freedom. And I think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, in the voiceover world, there's so much more play. Until you get a great role, like, uh, you know, on a, on a Breaking Bad or True Blood where it's like, wow, I'm just, you know, fully in on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was Neil. Neil Druckmann came to me while we were shooting Uncharted and he said, I want to show you something. We were at Naughty Dog and he brought me in and he showed me the whole character profile and told me all about it and I was just like, yep, all in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, after seeing, you know, everything that, you know, seeing the story and what Neil wants to build, I said, well, I always, uh, learned early, like, one of my favorite things to do is always called draw to the opposite. So, you know, the big scary guy who screams, you know, he's not as scary as that quiet guy who just smiles and just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So with David, I just thought he should be, he's somebody who's, he's a shepherd. He's got these people that he's got to take care of. He's the, he's the mayor of his flock, whatever. And he, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want him to sound really kind and calm. Someone thinks things through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And only when he's pushed to a certain level and because of his actions, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's not a villain. We've talked about this at length. He's not a villain. And anytime you are approached with a character of that type, you have to defend him. You know, if you're playing an asshole, an asshole doesn't think he's an asshole. Everybody else does.

[Assistant] It doesn't matter. I'm being honest or I'm lying. It doesn't matter. I'm smarter than you. Whatever, whatever mode you want to take. And with David, I never, I could justify everything he ever did. Now, you take that same guy and you walk him down the street. Normal society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's, he's got a screw loose. But in, in those circumstances, in that world, he's just, he's doing his best to survive and keep his people alive. And as an actor, that's, I think that's what I did. If that's a process, it was just justify your, your own actions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I did once for a laugh. And the funny, I saw the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Okay. And, uh, uh, it was, uh, like, a, I don't, I didn't touch it. Uh, but I did. It moved. It was, it was, it was the lower part of a leg.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The funniest one, listen by the way, this is all for shits and giggles. Mostly giggles. My funniest one, I mean I couldn't breathe was a blumpkin. A blumpkin? That is when you receive oral sex while taking a dump on a toilet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there's the NASCAR Porto Blumpkin where you're doing it in the center field of the NASCAR race in a Porto potty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read about it, I heard it was just like, yeah, it said it's absolutely atrocious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, right, uhm, so we went to this restaurant after each day after the con and one time Moe's like said, oh, you gotta, yeah, no, I did these, uh, ads on TV reads and, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, hey, you gotta check it out. He looked down on the phone. He said, oh, there's others. Look it up later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I think we're just getting something quick to eat and we're all gonna meet downstairs for dinner. So I went upstairs and I was changing and I looked up that ad and I watched it and then you know, YouTube will show the other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of a sudden I see Maurice LaMarche at Rodney Dangerfield Young Comedians Special. And I go, what the he-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's opening act on there with, uh, Bob Saget, Seinfeld, a guy named Bob Nelson, Andrew Dice Clay, uh, the bills, he, he's, he's the lead off. But here's the thing. I was in, I think I was in maybe freshman year in high school, ninth grade. I walked down to dinner and I looked at him and he goes, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I went into his act because in 9th grade I memorized that act.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could do, Phineas J. Puppy, you're the greatest. Come along, Chambly. Uh, gee, Tennessee, and I mean, I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw that and that's how I got laughs with people in school because I saw him doing those things. And of all those comedians that were on there, I remember taping that young comedian special, watching it. I had no idea that the guy now, I've worked with Mo for a number of years, I've known him for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never ever realized, oh my god, that's the guy from, from that special I could do. And he, he looked at me and he was, he was, he was pretty touched because I said, you were my guy. And honestly, if I think about it, that, I never thought I could do this with this was even a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that thing, like, got me through some tough years because, you know, high school and the only thing I could really do at the time was throw a baseball or be funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did the best Shatner still. His Shatner is just this. His Shatner, he just goes...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't even have to say anything. But he did, uh, Reverend Jim, he did, uh, you know, like, Captain Kirk, you know, cause he was in, Rathacan, I guess it was. Uh, or, I mean, he was doing, Reverend Jim, doing, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From Taxi. From Taxi. Uh, but you're talking about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that's the next thing that we're actually gonna do. We just need to do this. We're gonna, our next step is just the basic podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me, I asked, I wanted to be in it, and I had to be in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, uh, oh actually, it's amazing. Crispin Freeman actually does, uh, spot on, uh, not Jack Sparrow. He does the other guy. He does Orlando Bloom. Orlando Bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No way. I am, and you're gonna, not gonna believe this. Go. Brats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Director is Doug Carrigan. Doug. Doug Carrigan, great guy, huge hockey fan. We did that. And we did that session.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he drove, we went to Staples Center to see the LA Kings play. I got in the car with him, he said, and we went, I said, I gotta tell you, he goes, why? I said, that's the worst


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll I've ever done in the worst game I've ever done. He started laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, I can tell you lines from that because it was, it was abhorrent for children. This is the one game you shouldn't have your kids play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, exactly. It was just, yeaah, it was at the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's crazy. I can't believe that. Yes, mail shopkeeper. And I sold cell phone. You know who don't like cell phone? Old people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Male shopkeeper. No, because that one stuck out to me. It's, it's just, you know, cause big games, you know, oh, you kids, whatever, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is ours now. Yeah. So, uh, thank you so much for joining us on Retro Replay. Uh, you click that button right there and you can subscribe and say goodbye to Alan and Joe. And, uh, oh, there's my light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I first played it, I really loved it at E3 two years ago. I thought it was really fun and I liked flying around in suits and then when I played it when it came out, I liked it for like a good 20 minutes. So it's like the foundation is there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tropes are light vs dark and every villain is Hitler. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can't in the same save file, whereas in Destiny you can't swap between classes. That was the logic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I've played MMOs by myself and have enjoyed it, which I know is very odd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he's saying that we recognize that we need to fix what we have but the potential is there, I would agree with that. The game is fun, it's just you gotta fix that bit and that bit and that bit and then it would be fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've played a lot of Neverwinter and almost every year I'll go back if there's a winter event and it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been some stuff with Twitch not that long ago where people were donating money and then they would cancel it and the person who was donated to would get the cancel fee. So like the streamers were being charged for huge amounts of money. I think they might have fixed it, but ultimately stuff like that's not that difficult to do on the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently when they hit 200,000, which was because of our 10k donation, they did not acknowledge us. You're right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I stayed awake for a little bit, slept till about one, and then stayed awake again. And then today, uh, I guess I turned off all of my alarms. So, did not wake up. Yeah. But the vomiting sucked pretty bad, but otherwise everything's fine. I'm very fucking tired still though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my nap didn't work when I tried, like I was laying there trying to, and I felt better when I got up, but I didn't actually fall asleep at any point. I'm just like, okay. But it did help for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the minute the person in front of me leans back, I'm like, fucked it. Not sleeping. God damn it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you just kept doing what you were doing here at home?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well I have. It's just that I've only watched a little bit that I could find on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the thing that I'm having trouble with is comprehending that it's real. Like, this actually happened in the city I live in. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know about that either. There was a 14 year old girl who was shot by a Korean store owner and who didn't serve any time. It's like, it's all crazy. All of it, I'm like, how is any of this non-fiction?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all gonna play Cyberpunk and Multicam and stream the whole thing. So everyone will be able to swap between feeds and see what everyone's doing at any given time. That's a great idea. Thank you. That's a fantastic idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, they're all super buff. Uh, but I really love the character design of the leader of the animals who's just like a 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] Like there are, uh, all these, I dunno, mall LEDs that pop up and tell you to turn around and go back and then she just busts through one of them and apparently you can miss that entire encounter or you can, and you can also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I read the books, uh, my now wife, uh, gave me the, the books about eight years ago and, uh, I read them all pretty quickly. And then when the show premiered a few months after I read the books, I was, um, I was out of the country in a much different time zone, but when the show premiered,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I signed this when it had like 15,000 signatures and I just thought that it was kind of funny because it's not reasonable to expect that HBO is going to actually remake this, but I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually think that that might happen. So you signed it as a joke and then it sounds like a lot of people jumped on this bandwagon. I signed it as a joke and also as a general expression, I wasn't happy with this season. And it was just kind of like, here's another way to get my voice, which hopefully is how a lot of these people feel, but also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been accused of this over the last six weeks. You know, I've been really vocal. I have another show that I co-host and you know, I write the reviews every week on GameSpot and I've been accused over the past month or so of being disrespectful to the amount of work that goes into the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By doing things like calling the last few episodes a trash fire, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and still acknowledging the work that goes into something and it's, it's easy to lose sight of that, especially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when it's something like Game of Thrones and where so many people, including myself, are so passionate about it and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think the, the things that we're angry about tend to always win out in the immediate, in the moment. So, so I, I don't know, I don't know whether I would pass judgment on something being respectful or disrespectful. I think it's kind of beside the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I think it's nice to have conversations like this where we have a couple of days removed. I think we're gonna keep talking about Game of Thrones probably for the rest of time, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything that has an end state in mind, you know, at the beginning or right at the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't fully agree, only because I think there are, obviously whether you enjoy something is subjective, but I think there are objective measures of whether something is done well. Sure, tell us, tell us how. I mean, if you're gonna, uh, forget about the writing for a second, look at like the cinematography. The cinematography in the show is gorgeous, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of thinking and apply it to anything. So in terms of the writing, if there are a ton of loose ends, if it doesn't feel satisfying, if the characters aren't consistent from scene to scene or episode to episode, I do think that that's objectively bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, saying it feels satisfying is not great obviously. That's subjective. Because there can be plot holes and bad writing or whatever and it can still feel satisfying to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my big problems with episode 3 was the lack of consistency from shot to shot. There would be a lot of shots where there were 5 or 10 or 15 zombies running at someone and then the camera would cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. It seemed to happen over and over. And so I think it's fair to say that you enjoyed that episode, but I think that, for example, the editing in that episode is objectively bad because it's inconsistent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think, I think something people have trouble with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clogaine bowl, which was awesome. Come on. I can't imagine like a better way of that going down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's wild to me, but see that stuff is, it is subjective, but you know, I'm still a fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about HBO going in overnight and removing the coffee cup? I think the coffee cup should stay. I think that becomes part of the letting of the show. They sent out a press release saying, uh, the coffee cup was a mistake. Daenerys actually had ordered tea. So we're going to fix it. And overnight,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and Cogman is the guy who George has always pointed to as like, this is the guy, this is my avatar on the crew of creating the show version of this story, and he's the guy who's supposed to be the encyclopedia of all this stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have worn out bristles. But I brush for like 10 minutes at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm level, I think I've lost the ability to truly be angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tend to believe that this is basically the gist of the ending, like the broad strokes, the big beats, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Danny goes crazy, burns down King's Landing, Sean retires at the wall, somehow never fully embraces his secret identity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Agon, Agon the Sixth or Fake Agon or Fagon as, as, as, uh, uh, book nerds like me like to call him. He was introduced in book five, but that's another Targaryen heir, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's somebody who is Varys's ultimate plan, you know, allegedly in the, in the books. Like if you look at Varys as a puppet master, you know, supporting Daenerys and Viserys before her is a feint in one direction and in the background of that, he's really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Setting up Aegon to be the real king and destabilizing King's Landing and trying to screw up the Lannister's plan and like all of that has to matter and they leave it out of the show entirely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I got from it. We can theorize whether she used any of her powers, but it's not explicit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's J.K. Rowling going, we shouldn't have time travel. It makes everything too muddy. If Ari and Bran had died two scenes two seasons ago, this might have made more sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, and this goes back to the way that things might end differently in the books. Well, the ending would be the same, the way we get there would be different. You read the books, so like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has become a tree or whatever and there's my favorite fan theory of the past couple of days following this episode has been that he will actually like he's lured Bran North to actually skin change with him take over Bran's body and so Bran winding up King at the end it'll actually be, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bloodraven, the three-eyed crow inhabiting his body, and so, well, the broad strokes of that ending remain the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's honestly completely different. If you look at it in that context.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It felt like in the early seasons the show was just kind of including everything from the books.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then as soon as they started getting away from it, then, you know, they realize...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean in the books the direwolves are really symbols and the, the, I can understand that this visual medium


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget, I'll tweet about it, I forget what website it was on, but it was, they were interviewing the VFX people about the process of including the Dire Wolves and they like shoot them on a green screen and then they have to choreograph the actual scenes to, you know, so precisely and then make, you know, size them up and it's, and composite them in and it's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's another thing in the books that people are expecting, like Nymeria and her giant pack of wolves that we haven't seen but they get mentioned. It's kind of like a sub sub subplot, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, people are expect- that's like a check-offs gun that people are expecting to come back at some point and maybe it does in the books but like I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's clear when they started cutting stuff too. I think around the time that they just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More characters across the Narrow Sea and, and they, I think what they did is they picked the characters that they think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dropped everything else, and I think there's something inherently...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels bad. I think because, like you said, like people get invested in Melisandre's story or the Dire Wolves or different things. I think that there, it could have been done well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the writing had remained consistent, you know, if, if they had properly set up the things that they did want to end on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think there is maybe a conversation happening that will obviously never be privy to, but about the, the hit that they've taken to the brand. Like I think the ideal scenario for HBO is that it has the most viewers ever, it makes a crap load of money, and also people love it, right? I think that there's, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Judging by the petition, there's a lot of ill will right now toward-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it is my job to watch Game of Thrones now, but it hasn't always been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, you know, back when I was freelancing, um, around season five, I didn't like season five. There were things in season five that pissed me off. So I did stop watching. I didn't watch season six for a year until I got this job and season seven was about to come out and I had to catch up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what I was waiting for. So, so I think if George had come out and said, this book is not getting published for five years minimum, I would have probably just started watching them. What I wanted was to experience things the way that I thought they should be experienced first as a book fan first. And then I would go back and watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because everybody's, like, talking about it. Spoiling immediately. Yeah. I avoided learning that, because in the, in the books, the last time we draw, uh, the last time we saw Jon Snow, he was getting stabbed multiple times and dying. Um, and I avoided, that was the other thing, is that happened at the end of season five, and I was like, I do not want to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, to a certain degree, but I think, you know, creators are going to keep creating things regardless, and some of them are going to be, like, if the ratings had gone down this season, I don't think it would have necessarily affected anything, right? Like, the prequels are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ball is rolling on those already and, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they said they put that limitation on themselves, so I still ultimately, I still ultimately blame them because you know it's well documented that HBO


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they kind of did seven seasons because you can look at season seven and eight as one combined. Six and six, right? I think it was seven and six. So it would be an extra long season and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, look back at season one where there's an entire episode of just them traveling from Winterfell to King's Landing and now it feels like people are traveling back and forth in the space of a single episode. I love it. You like that. I love it. But do you argue that that doesn't feel faster paced? No, I'm not as, I'm not as fast paced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's just if they're gonna skip the travel, I would like the show to demonstrate that time has passed, right? To acknowledge the realities. You know, it used to be a show where those things mattered. And I think it's a totally fair criticism of the early seasons to say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a ton of episodes where every scene is just two people talking and then it goes to two different people talking and then it goes back to the first two and that's the entire episode. Yeah, it's great character development. Yeah, I loved the careful plotting and that's something that I appreciate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it felt like if you watched the last, people are saying of course it's the name of the show, this is always what it was going to be about. I think if you watched the last five or so seasons, or even maybe from the beginning, from the opening scene, which is about the White Walkers, every character in the show who we were meant to believe was smart or righteous or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody who we and other characters should be listening to has been saying, you know, your petty squabbles over who sits in this chair and wears this hat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was also about bad people trying to be better, like Jamie for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's ultimately subjective, right? Like we felt one way, you felt a different way, but this, this is, I think why people feel, you know, betrayed or personally hurt by this because it turned out to be something so different from what people thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that was surprising. It was definitely. That to me is a problem, not just with the writing, but again, with the editing, because there were so many shots of like, Jamie Tormund, Brianne Pott, and Sam just like, with a pile of zombies on top of them, just crying. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Episode 2 was, was brought so many characteristics together, full circle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if everybody died the next episode, it would have been like, that was rough, but it, you know, ultimately it was, it was okay. But I do think if you watch those, if you just watch what's on the screen, totally objectively, you would think you can't survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me the expectation that was subverted is that actions would have consequences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reason why the red wedding, or Ned's death, or Auburn's death, or even like Tywin's death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason those had so much impact to me is not because they were shocking or because they subverted our expectations of like what a narrative is, but it's because you can look back at those things and, and the events and the choices that the characters made that led up to them and go, God, it makes perfect sense now. And to subvert


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before this season, I considered that to be the worst episode of the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think with the knowledge looking back that all those characters were going to survive, I wish they had shot that episode differently. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm not gonna be one to complain about characters surviving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, it's just inconsistent to me and like my suspension of disbelief was just demolished in those episodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can all agree the memes were- Yes, I've said this many times, but the memes are the- they've made it all worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this epilogue for the last Harry Potter book has, has, I think was, oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one of my favorite jokes from the past season also has been that, uhm, Bran actually, we're all waiting for him to warg into something else to take over and do something and the theory is he warged into Drogon to melt the iron chair, the iron throne into a ramp for himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However many thousand years has mostly been keeping the wildlings out. And now the wildlings are our friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know it sounds sad, but it's also, yeah. Well, it's, it's, I think that is our expectations of the climax and the conclusion of a fantasy series being subverted in a good way, is that the crippled boy who, you know, is weird and does magic, he becomes king, right? I think that's a good ending. Okay, I agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think the reason why people are talking about this is that it is a good example of the show putting the immediate symbolism and the spectacle and the visual over continuity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, when you stop to think about it... Time had just passed. I mean, that was just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I made the same comparison, but Dr. Strange peering into the future and looking at the 14 million possibilities and going, this is the one. The difference between Bran and Dr. Strange, I think, is that Dr. Strange didn't choose the one eventuality where he becomes emperor of the galaxy. Yeah, Bran, that's a very good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Drogon certainly recognizes that, that Jon has this connection. He lets Jon pass. You know, Rhaegal lets Jon ride him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there was a lot of ruff and a lot of meandering because it's a slow crawl towards next generation. Oh, sure. So they're like, and we're working on stuff. See you next year. Like that's, that's pretty much, but we can talk about that later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I just remember him having, he would come visit every e3 or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, good, good dude, but it's like a lot of work to run a blog and make it profitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, I mean, I think for everyone, perhaps sitting at this table, this is the least busy I think I've ever been at an E3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it used to be, you basically might as well like have a tent and just live there on like a, on some stage where they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's been really nice just to like, go, it's, as, as the big publishers have left, uh, so has our time on the show floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're talking full time. Yeah, I, I remember we had talked to someone, one of the Telltale guys about the Walking Dead Season 8 or whatever it was, uh, game coming out. And I remember the IFB went off my ear and they said, we're having trouble loading the next thing. Can you kill seven more minutes? And I went, it's a fucking Telltale game. And so then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a subsection of people who are like Lawrence, where they're like, they crave this, and they want it, and I'm like, good, I'm glad they, I'm glad they're taken care of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to a blockbuster that was going out of business and I bought Saints Row 2, because it was a used copy, obviously, the most used copy, it was scratched to hell, so I tried playing co-op and like, I would just be floating around, there were no cars because it couldn't load textures. It was great, you should buy all games from a going out of business blockbuster video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? I mean, you gotta, uh, be kind and rewind for you, right? So if you didn't rewind, they charge you more?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It already broke, but I mean, it's early, it's fine, but if you go to the game physics, uh, subreddit, someone has it where he's like glitch on the side. Oh, I did see that. Yeah. Which I'm like, whatever. Hey, at least you got to see it early. It's not finished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if it's Ubisoft, they're gonna support it for the next 25 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It blows my mind that like, years later, they're still supporting Rainbow Six. Like, good on them. I mean, it has a following, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're probably working on Bloodborne 2 somewhere in there. Maybe. Yeah, Bloodborne's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the original movie came out, what, 1999? So, yeaah. It's been 20 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20 years of staring in corners. But I mean, I guess there were, there were supposed to be two more sequels, and then there was the reboot they did, which apparently is not bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were to tell, there was a leaked rumor that said a new Blair Witch game will become like, okay, that's the fake one. And it sounds silly. Yeah. Like, there was a Blair Witch PC game that came, it was like Alone in the Dark style that came out in like 2001 or something like that. Really? Yeah, we should play it. Gross. Yeah, we should. Yeah. It's like when Blair Witch was a hot property. It's so fucking weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that they got Blair Witch instead of something like the Nun or the Conjuring or something like that. So I was like, I'm glad it's more obscure or like it's dated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People aren't allowed to cancel their Kickstarter because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because it was originally supposed to come to scene. That's what was promised. They made a deal with Epic and they're saying no, no refunds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, I mean he crawled out of that movie and made it, made it, made a successful career, so whatever, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says yes to nerdy sci-fi stuff and makes it work and the world loves Keanu Reeves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a mush man. I mean, they did him dirty in the Matrix movies when they had a rubber dude portray him in the burly brawl. And you're like, that's not cute. Slow mo punch is even worse. Yeah. Or like when he's up and flying and it's like, who's that skin man?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, I'm just saying, like, even, like, um, Phil Hartman, he would play characters that weren't Phil Hartman, right? And at some point they got super lazy and they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jar and Travolta, and they would just draw, do a caricature of that actor and put him in, and you're like, you didn't, it'd be cool if Canteriz was playing a character that isn't, I mean, he's Silverhand Jack or whatever, like, uh, his cool name, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess maybe it is a wasted opportunity to not have a character. He just looks like he fits in that universe so well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a layup though, and that's the cynic in me, where like people always make fun of CD Projekt Red, where it's like, their whole, their whole online presence is just so... No DLC! Yeah, and they're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just say, like they just say the right thing, which is like, it's, it's the big like Reddit circle jerk sort of stuff. So it's like, of course there's a whole subreddit called Kano being awesome and stuff like that. So it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I just, I didn't know, cause the way they were selling it at the press conference, they kept saying like, no loot boxes, you'll get loot and random drops. And like, it's going to, I was like, is it like destiny? Is this going to be a persistent game? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently it is a sequel. It's like a sequel, but they're doing something with a story that's a reboot, essentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, I have no idea and that's actually why I like, I'm excited about it. Cause I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope it's just a scorched earth thing. They're just like, burn it down. Let's just start all over. Uhm, I'm okay if it's, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems true to what Halo, they used all the old Halo theme, Chief's in his like old-ish armor, even has like a 117 on his armor right there. So I'm like, okay, cool. Let's, let's go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the Arbiter? In Halo 2 you play as Arbiter, yea. And then Halo 3, it's like- OD. It's ODSE, right? ODSE, I mean you're-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know, this whole thing with, I'm just really curious where it's all going with Halo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's on new consoles, new hardware, uh, Microsoft seems to be pushing xCloud real hard, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is their poster child. This is what's going to move boxes in clouds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you would know the most about this. So far I know nothing. Uh, we went and we played Halo Reach yesterday. Um, the PC port that's coming. So the 343 people were there and they're really cool. But like, no one's going to tell you nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna keep opening up sections, like the game's never gonna end. That's sort of their idea, where like, this is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe the last halo you ever buy, but you just keep buying add ons and this is, this is their destiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's super easy. It's the easiest thing in the world. It's like a Chrome extension. You just add it, you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like you never saw anything with Twilight Princess or Wind Waker or Skyward Sword, so they haven't done a direct sequel to any of those games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like, Bruce was saying, uh, Sinsoc for any time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most universally loved Zeldas. Just like Keanu Reeves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seems to be a continuation of... It does. ...that story. They're gonna sound like underground crypt and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's like holding it down or I don't know. Yeah, I mean it's, it's all Japanese and cool. It's, it's, I can't wait. As a cool Miyazaki vibe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just had assumed that like this game, this was a huge investment for Nintendo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean like for comparison sake, uhm, Microsoft has put out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this entire generation of the lifespan of the Xbox One, they put out one major Halo game and they...
