[Assistant] Was she? I only know that because she spelt something on it and she exclaimed like, This is Vincenzo Sior and my girlfriend just mentioned it. She's like, oh, that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chantelle, like it's just, just a girl named Chantelle. Chantelle Jefferies.

[Assistant] Anyone who's slamming mimosas with Mike in the morning?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm surprised somebody else didn't film it. I would've filmed it. I would've sent it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were, so you were triggered, pissed off from the, the plane incident basically? No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what's so baffling about the fucking cloud house is that you're really hanging out there with like 20 fucking people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The weird thing about it though, and I think it's interesting that this conversation is now happening because of this, is basically like, when you're a dad,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She graduates high school and she tells you she wants to start a private snap. Oh no. There's nothing you can do to stop her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at the hand- the way he puts his hands around his neck. What's that supposed to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it just looks so much like Jake Paul that it's like, I thought it was Jake Paul when he walked in with Tam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta ask, how do you feel about Bradley Martin beating you up? That's what we all wanna know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about when him and Fousey went to Columbia and were fucking prostitutes or whatever that crazy ass beef they had was all about? We never really figured out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well shout out to him though, cause I think that's nice and healthy. Yeah, I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do you believe that they have a fake relationship and that they're just like, at this point basically two hot people that have had some kids together and they're faking a relationship for YouTube?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you rather die old when nobody cares about you or young when you're still popular?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did the water have a fucking hole in it? And how was it not already leaking all over my office?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody who knows Drake says that Drake knows about everything. Like he knows about the little controversies and the little weird artists that say something about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we know that there are people who are being given money by YouTube to start channels at time strategically and probably like big organizations as well. Like they did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then you can like completely change the name of the channel and the content and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happens all the time, probably. Which is kinda shocking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will Smith would do great on YouTube no matter what. But I do think that then once he starts doing good and I do believe that they probably also went super out of their way to make his shit blow up. Like they're not gonna just let Will Smith come out and just put shit out and not go viral. Like they're gonna fucking drive traffic to that because it's as easy to them as flipping a switch, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you starting one makes about as much sense as Shane Dawson doing it, right? Cause I didn't watch any of those videos, but he doesn't wear makeup, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you think there's something specific about being a YouTuber where you spend


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, but there's something about you just sort of grinding away on YouTube that like, and that's the whole thing about it too, is that everybody sort of starts to realize, oh, your spot's not secure and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In reality, it's like your views are probably gonna start falling off if you just keep doing this. And there's like the realization as a YouTuber, and it's kind of like that specific effect that makes people fucking not be able to handle it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day so motivated to keep making new stuff. And it's just interesting to me that, but I guess you feel it because you're doing stuff on other fronts, business wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because what they do is they tell all these different brands like, oh, hey, give us $10,000 and we'll make you get a fuckload of followers. And then they tell all their fans, hey, follow all of these accounts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what's funny too is that on the other end, I, my girlfriend, somebody was going to her like, oh, give us five or ten thousand dollars so you can be part of this giveaway. You're going to get hundreds of thousands of followers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I have reason to post a photo with Keem. Then I have reason to post a photo with Justin. And that is just strictly based on who's gonna get the most likes. And people are super conscious of that. And that's weird. Because that's not natural. Like, I love my mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I wonder just how, how close this gets them to that future reality in which brand deals make more sense to do through Instagram than through the individual content creator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just plop Justin in over here. I have just a pile of empty bags of chips and stuff over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, no doubt. Oh, okay. Josh, you brought those snacks? Why did you have those snacks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, cause you're just a guy on the internet making videos about shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you already doing YouTube before you sort of started to become aware of the existence of the commentary community, which is kind of this like vague overall describer for like a lot of different channels that maybe don't really consider themselves to be part of that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You push stuff out at very different rates, like you're somebody who's really trying to make a video every couple days, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're totally good with storing up that load for a few months, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're carefully curating their releases, that they're not gonna put out something knowing that it's gonna do 300k, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I know it's good cause people like to gawk at weird rap videos, but it's just so hard for me to actually sit my ass down and go, cause I have hundreds or maybe thousands of videos liked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what about goire? I'm gonna fuckin' look up goire shit for a couple hours. And then it kinda became like, damn, I'm like amassing all this information. I wanna actually talk to a lot of these people. Which it feels like that's kinda where a lot of your shit comes from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you get your ideas for your videos? Or like, how does something seem like it qualifies? Especially since you must have really covered the majority of the things that you think are worth covering, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you really love the process of making the videos? Because I feel like a lot of times there's, there's YouTubers who love making the videos and there's YouTubers who sort of like dread the process but then they like the actual release.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm kinda like that too, where I'll like dread that process of getting ready for an interview, but then once I actually get into it, and I actually have found myself sitting there for a half hour listening to some shit, I'm like, I actually start feeling right, and I actually start, you know, being prepared for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting because there's a certain extent to which you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're developing your audience to which they are either savvy or they're not and your audience basically has to be willing to click on things that they don't know what it is or they don't really have much of a reason to. Like for my audience it's like I know that if 6ix9ine gets out tomorrow and gets shot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I can make a video about it and get millions and millions of views. Easy. Because I know the things that they specifically want. You very specifically are feeding your audience things that they don't know that they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, we, we often times get caught up in thinking of our content as being very like spur of the moment, like oh, like you know Keemstar is 100% on that, like his videos have a ton of relevance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it stuff that literally is there as like a, a archive? Like you, you're gonna find this when you Google things, like there might be, there might not be a ton of people searching for Two Girls, One Cup, but you're really going out of your way to be the definitive source of information on this one weird thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also it's like if you had a day, and that's kind of a part of the question is how much time do you allow yourself to just be a regular guy sitting around on the internet just searching for shit? Because I feel like if I fuck around on the internet for eight hours, I'm bored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm waiting for a plane or some shit, my shit gets delayed, then I'm gonna fuckin' land on a whole bunch of shit I'm interested in, I'm gonna start coming up with ideas, but it's like you sorta need that boredom to get there. But when you're constantly pushing out as many videos as you possibly can, you don't get that boredom time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And did you have that big dream of being a YouTuber though? Were you like, I wanna earn enough money from this to not have to have a regular job?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting, cause like, you're clearly probably making more, is the band thing a significant part of your life?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to some black guy by the way who just commented, what up wang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always feel kinda weird when I like, accidentally say like, oh this is Black Dave. I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, realistically, that was his name before, you know, if I made it up, then that would be a little weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's such a precedent for that on the internet now too, because everybody's an Andy. Asian Andy, Mexican Andy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Andy thing is like exclusively from the Ice Poseidon community, correct? Yeah, I think so. Have you ever thought about covering that? Is that too new? How long does it take before something's too new? Or before it's new enough? Old enough?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever you're interested in. If you don't do what you're interested in, it's gotta start really feeling like work at some point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause I find like, with your kind of videos and shit, a lot of times it's watching a lot of pretty bad content to find the absolute worst moments so that you can drill in on that shit and really call attention to how bad it is. Does that sound accurate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see, I started to, like, I thought about doing one where I was watching the videos on the Ignite, uh, energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] channel or whatever Dan Bilzerian's weed company where he just housed this big warehouse and it's like super awkward like live stream uploads of him just in the house with like all these like hot ass models but they're like smoking weed and it just seems so sad and lame and it's just it's crazy because it's like super hot chicks super nice house it just seems so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boring, and I was really, I sat there for an hour and a half watching this shit trying to find, like writing down the time stamps of the stuff that I thought that was the most cringy, and it put me in such a fucking bad mood by the end of a couple hours of it that I just couldn't really bring myself to want to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Continue to put this together and realizing how I was either gonna have to tell one of my employees to do it and really not know what the fuck it was gonna end up like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or I was gonna have to do it all myself, and that was gonna be painful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Understandably yeaah, they're gonna not drill in and really try to get to the bad shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's really, you know, Andy Malanakis is in the chat as well. Saw him commenting, saying Andy, Andy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, uh, listening to the Sam Harris interview with Richard Dawkins, and he was trying to get Richard Dawkins to basically, like, comment on memes, cause he, like, pioneered the term, before they were talking about memes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Richard Dawkins really didn't seem very eager to like latch on to the spreading of like text and image things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's a weird thing to think about when I think about Tom Green or Howard Stern is that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Howard Stern was thriving on censorship for all those years. The fact that he couldn't just do the shit that he wanted to do because of the FCC and the rules that they had upon him where he couldn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he realizes that once everything is allowed, all of a sudden all the shock value shit doesn't really work anymore. And a lot of times I think about that when I look at old content like Jackass and Tom Green and stuff like that, is that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shit doesn't really seem like it would do anything on YouTube these days because it's sorta too easy to do the gross out shit or to do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, offensive shit, like that shit doesn't seem like it works in this modern age because everyone can do whatever they want on YouTube for the most part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your age is definitely a big part of it, let's be honest. Like when, when you were 13, when I was 13 seeing Jackass for the first time, I was very impressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's such a weird thing to think about how kids these days


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like kids will always have to go through this phase where the most offensive things are the funniest things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's like a mainstream opinion that it's very easy to meet people who, but that's what I like about PewDiePie too, is that he is a reputation of the way that the left wants to paint all of our society. Like him being the biggest YouTuber is proof that you don't need to be this mega woke dickhead in order to have a big fan base on the internet in 2019.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's interesting because when you have PewDiePie as the biggest YouTuber and like last year, you know, 6ix9ine was like the biggest rapper and like, you know, these are people who have basically been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely deemed to be inappropriate to be involved with any sort of like high level like media discourse. It's like it's obvious that the media hates PewDiePie and Trump and 6ix9ine and stuff but they all continue to be extremely popular and it's like I don't think of 6ix9ine as like a right wing icon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a pretty high bar for Pepsi to get passed in my opinion. Like Pepsi fucking with Cardi B when she used to be a stripper and she like says fuck a lot is even that is kind of like, wow, like they've come a long way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you thought about the fact that your channel could be targeted and like basically wouldn't be too shocking if like a large percentage of your videos got demonetized or like deleted and shit because you touch on a lot of edgy shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I was watching Drama Lur and Keem wouldn't say dildo. Yeaah. I'm just like. Keem. Dildo man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And making a video live and then having it immediately get demonetized just feels like the most cruel, like intolerable policy imaginable. Because if YouTube were to just say, okay, Adam, every single video that you upload needs to be requested for monetization before it can go live, it might take two or three days, but once it's made, once it's approved, then it can just go out and you'll be able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, and like, you know, obviously we're gonna try multiple times to get videos to review, and sometimes that's gonna help, but that I would be very okay with is having to wait two or three days to find out if my videos are monetizable. What I really fucking hate is that like, last night I put out my vlog from going to the KSI Logan fight, and that it's now gone a quarter million views, and that it went orange the second that I made it live, and that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's so fucked up too because like for a while it seemed like it was working really good that I would take my videos, put the word sex in the title, boom, it get, it triggers the requests. A request.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then now, if I take that word sex out, boom, it's green again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I make it live and it turns orange immediately. So I can't even like trigger that review of my own video unless I leave that term in the title which itself is probably going to make sure that yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's content that would never, even as a cartoon would never go on YouTube because it's like, it's all about like kids going through puberty and shit, so it's like, and they show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Insane animated shit that I don't even know how they could justify it to a certain extent. But that idea of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A YouTube type platform where everybody can pay $10 a month and you're able to watch as much content as you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there is no laws. I mean, that almost is what YouTube is like, because if you pay that 10 bucks a month, yea, your content's not gonna get promoted that well, but you are gonna, like, make significantly more money. Like, when we all look at our YouTube income, the amount that comes from YouTube Red is fucking crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Wow. That's scary shit right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The plant, we're just in a room full of plants. Like what is, like I know that you watching it as, as YouTube, as a company, maybe you can tell that this is marijuana, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's just a plant. Nobody's smoking it. And it was age restricted. Just being around the plant. Particularly offended by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically shut down, yeaah. But that's what's weird too, is that on here or on Joe Rogan,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can sit there and smoke weed, we can sit here and smoke weed. The content is not about us smoking weed, so we're not really getting hit, but by people who just maybe titled their shit differently, or, you know, have the camera closer to them when they're smoking weed or whatever, it feels more like it's like directly about weed. Those are the channels that are getting totally fucked. Which is, you know, it's kind of a thin line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what about in a year or two, if it's federally legal, then they're just gonna go back into all those videos and back to all those content creators and say like, oh here you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Twitch is, they go through weird shit too, where it's like everything that anyone could possibly do ends up just being sort of exploited to the point that they have to do something about it. Like, they can't just like let girls have cleavage showing on stream without becoming a huge thing of these titty streamers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is wishful thinking on my part because this thing has such a much of social justice where it fucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm almost surprised that uh, he hasn't just like put that entire channel on private because it's so sorta contradicts like the brand he's building as a musician.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is crazy, you never would have thought that the filthy frank thing would be able to become an after note. Yea, cause nobody talks about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have they tried to cancel him yet? I mean, like, the- the filth he's wearing is so offensive. It's almost like, how could they possibly not get the joke?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's always the hard thing to decide on Twitter though, is like, do you want to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go for the sort of obscure reference that you actually think is funny and like the 20 people that you talk to would think is funny or do you want to go for the super obvious joke that's gonna get hella retweets?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, 100,000 retweets because it's just such an easy BOW! Yeah. Gotcha!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's always the jokes that you almost think about not making because they're so obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just got 200,000 likes on a tweet and I think 60,000 retweets cause Complex put out like a graphic of Kanye with a quote that he put out that may or may not have actually even been said or be accurate where he was talking about like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, some bullshit about there being three different, uh, elements and now we're all on our iPhones or some bullshit. I quote to you, I wrote, what the fuck does that mean? 280,000 likes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know why the fuck I tweeted that. It seems so stupid and easy and obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's weird shit too where, like, uh, the other day I was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tweet it out, I think a link to an article about Emma Chamberlain. And Emma Chamberlain liked the tweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it fucking exploded from her just liking that tweet. Oh my god, I guess maybe she doesn't like that much shit on Twitter. And I know she's huge, but Jesus fucking Christ, like that just somehow like, it set off the algorithm in a way that I know that I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you get nominated for that, then for sure that's gonna help, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That activity tab, but in general, like if I were to go to your Instagram right now, I can't go look at a list of everything that you liked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although I could create a burner account, well no, but that, with that tab gone now it doesn't matter, but that used to be what girls would do, I would hear about, is they would make a burner account, only follow the guy that they're dating, and then their entire feed of activity would be everything that that guy does, and boom, they're able to keep tabs on him really really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, I've never really had to deal with it. I never really had time to look at that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was shocking too how fast porn stars get followers. It's insane how fast porn stars blow up on there and it can be totally irrelevant as porn chicks that have 200-300 thousand followers because so many-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, because so many dudes, that's their way of view. And also, so many dudes who probably don't mind liking shit because they're just operating on burner accounts anyway. They make burner accounts just to follow pornstars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It makes you wonder though, was there just a salty ass employee who decided to like that because he thought it was funny that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I saw this article come out today and I haven't even gotten around to actually reading it yet, but the story... Yep, here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A radio station called its host a gay slur on Twitter. Now he's been fired and accused of posting the tweet himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this guy, Seth Dunlap, who was a radio host on WWL New Orleans, uhm, a tweet went out from the WWL New Orleans account that I'm not sure exactly what the word was, I'm gonna guess it was the F-A-G-G-O-T word or something along those lines, but basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That tweet went out from that organization about him and then they ended up doing some forensics and figured out that he tweeted it himself from his phone about himself to apparently get some sympathy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even that, it's like they're gonna have fucking cameras in the internet cafe probably too, right? Mhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they search for the IP addresses that the tweet could have came from and they find one that directly associated with your phone, then, yeaah, that should be pretty easy. It's kind of fascinating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That's a good story too, yeaah. That's why they stopped being friends. What the fuck is Lele Pons' deal? I just know she's super popular, but I don't really know anything about her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shit needs to just stop. I read a whole article about her and I still don't feel like I know anything about her. Maybe this is not that much that's really all that interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm on Facebook now, that's all I know. I'm making a real play to get some shit going on Facebook. I've been off the platform for like three, four years and all of a sudden for some reason...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wonder sometimes if YouTube regrets that they ever allowed creators to make money off of their content because in some ways that was, like, that's the thing that made their shit so controversial. Like, when I look at, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I look at Facebook, I wonder if they ever really regret making news such an explicit part of the business because that's really what got them in so much trouble in regards to so much shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what we can tell now is that if they had not done it, there's no telling that anybody else would have. Because nobody else is jumping on that. Facebook allows you to monetize a little bit, but they don't exactly make it easy. You can't just sign up for Facebook and start making money. You have to build something significant before they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I guess is sorta true for YouTube now, but YouTube, their value proposition early on was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, when it's, when you're looking at it being Google, there's clearly they're not appreciative of the fact that, you know, these people are earning huge amounts of money for the company or like they seem huge to them. Like to me, it's still so unthinkable that somebody, let's just use an example, Phil DeFranco is creating like extremely adult content on the platform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't have any sort of like direct pipeline to be able to just consistently get his videos monetized or that doesn't seem like a priority to them at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a guy who's been getting millions of views just by running a laundromat. Just cause he keeps making videos with titles like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they're gonna engineer a more equal society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the algorithm. It's like affirmative action type shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit that they were posting was doing well. And there's just like one article that just sort of incited rage in the audience. Like it was just the kind of thing that would make an engaged audience member angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it has so many more likes and comments than anything else, but we take that for granted that that's just how the internet works. And I mean, there's definitely, like, the algorithm, it's so easy to fuck with the algorithm that it's kinda weird to assume that that's normal and that's natural. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean shit, if it, if it's, it's just a weird concept to think that like you could just kinda go to YouTube and ask them like, help my channel boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was in a meeting with somebody the other day who was talking about this artist who's like a rapper that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be absurd for anyone to have any sort of, uh, moral obligation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I just, I remember that it was a particular controversy for, for Limp Bizkit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20,000 followers I think it was on Soundcloud and he hadn't had labels really approaching him trying to sign him yet. That doesn't exist anymore because now anyone like X who had like a clear seed of talent based on, you know, and it was clearly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of thing is, the labels are so all over every up and coming rapper. I will have a conversation with a label and they will start telling me about some artist that they found who has like 4,000 plays on his songs, but their research, which is like literally an algorithm that they're running songs through that tells them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How authentic their stats are and, you know, it could be stuff just like the percentage of likes versus the plays or, you know, uh, is the audience, is the, is, does it, maybe the sign has 5,000 plays, but maybe a huge percentage of the people who are listening to that song listen to it three or four times a day, every day, and then the label is able to sort of look at those,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Details and say, okay, this thing, like they're able to identify shit before even like a human being would be able to just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is able to build up a shitload before they sign, then those end up being the artists who are able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, basically get better contracts, better terms, more money up front, etc. Uh, but then, like a lot of artists, they end up signing early on, and they don't just sign to like, labels, like they sign deals, but the label is basically gonna like, turn them into a bigger star than they could ever become on their own, is the idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the labels can really help facilitate you going from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing to something or like, if your content is actually hidden with the audience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then all the meanwhile, like this shit is so fickle that the heat starts cooling off on that artist and all of a sudden it's like six months have gone by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of times, just to get the label deal done, the nature of the business, you know, it might take a couple months to get the label deal done and shit, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By that point, the hype is kind of gone already and then that artist has just given up a huge percentage of their, their ownership of their work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Yes. Big time, because it's so cheap to sign an artist. If you can sign an artist for 20, 30, 40 grand, I mean, that artist, if they become Juice World, is worth so many tens or hundreds of millions of dollars that the 50 grand from the 20 artists that don't do anything is nothing, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the course of the month. I'm like wow that's so funny that you're just sitting there admitting that because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been on the other side of that and I know that they don't really want you talking about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50 million views on this song and then they'll add that song to different like viral clips and put it on all these different Instagram accounts and then all of a sudden they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that you, like the internet that we came from was an internet in which it seemed like the wild wild west and like any, everything that was happening was just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, it was just madness. And then like, like even the changes we've seen is that everything has become political and everything has become a little business. Like there used to be like the hacking community and they just wanted to raise hell. And now it's like hacking happens for political reasons or for profit. Yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were just on stream for almost 4 hours so, it feels pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll cut out this chunk and this will be the Nerd City and Justin Wang podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, turn it off. Appreciate y'all. Peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But think about it, think about it like this. In the older days of hip hop, it was like, oh, Norrie can't be a radio guy or Joe Budden can't be a radio guy, a podcaster at the same time that he's a rapper. Nowadays, you can be a rapper and you can be a podcaster. I'm trying to prove that you can be a podcaster and a broadcaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a fan of Noir, man. I still remember when I found out about you. 8th grade. What? What? What? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's hard for us to realize that we're not the center of the universe and that there's a lot of people who just are maybe not tapped in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I'm meeting people in the Def Jam bathroom. That sounds like a Norrie story. In the Def Jam bathroom. I met Vince Staples in the Def Jam bathroom. That's the last thing I ever wanted to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta appreciate the growth with T.I. because when I see him hosting that Netflix show, all I can think is, all I think is this motherfucker got caught with more guns than anybody else in the history of fucking rap music and now he's actually got this shit going on and he's brand safe again, which is nice to see because that shit takes time a lot of times, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does look like someone sipped that. I don't know if Bacchanat Nice might have cracked that one open. That's officially OVO now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I hate the idea that because somebody tried to do something violent to me that I should fundamentally like change my life aside from possibly having more guns around me and shit. Like, I'm not running away from anything. Especially not some fucking dork ass fucking 17 year old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like there's nothing, like I just love the idea of actually being able to have a conversation with somebody who's been in the game that long every week and like feel like that would be such a challenge though because that's the problem with Dane. Nobody ever really feels like they really get to know him. If I'm gonna do a weekly podcast with him, I'm gonna have to actually really fucking get to know this dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's just a shame because it's like the guy that you sold drugs with when you were like 20. Just all of a sudden isn't the guy that you want to run a business with when you're-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you've been on tour so long, I'm surprised you never really got hit up for the midget thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to him and everything, but it's just, I don't really get it. That's the problem. We let our, what we wanted to happen, taint what we don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I was looking, you know what I did? This is what you do when you wanna decide where you're gonna ask somebody on some bullshit gossip shit. You go to the actual gossip sites and you search for the tag of the person that you wanna know if people have talked shit about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh, we love them drank tales. Drank champs coming through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read this whole biography about Pimsy, right? And they're like talking about back in the day and the one thing that's crazy as fuck to me is that they're just talking about like these motherfuckers were smoking PCP. Bun too. Like Bun had a phase where he was getting fucked up and then he chilled out like way earlier than a lot of the other people and that shit trips me out because I don't think about Bun being


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of you is gonna see. Question, when's the last time you smoked dust? Dust?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I feel when I go to a music festival and I see people drinking Four Locos. It's like, you know they got that at the store where you live too. But you go to this festival and they got Four Locos so you're just spending eight bucks on a Four Loco? Like, wait, you go to the Poconos, you're just gonna do Dust? They got Dust in Left Rack City too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that you're stoning your principles there though because, you know, at the end of the day it's like, Noize, I feel like Noize is trying to create a motherfucking brand and not go and be fucking Walter Cronkite and travel around the world doing interviews on his own. You know, that is his own thing. I like that you're trying to create drink champs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you think that we're at risk of sort of like the ownership of the hip hop podcasting world potentially becoming like the recording industry where it's essentially just a bunch of people of color sort of signing their souls away to a bunch of much richer white people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember that because remember everybody thought that you were just doing audio only when you did podcasts? That was one of the biggest things that helped me early on is that I was just putting the shit on YouTube and it was helping it blow up like crazy. At a time where like Combat Jack, he was like the reason I started doing the shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still kinda at that point in my life where I still think the Newport Chain's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you, did you see this coming? No. Did you know that it was possible? No. Are you amazed that you've been able to pull this transition off because it's a very, very difficult thing to do and I feel like you're pulling it off very well. You've, you've made this transition quite well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got 17 guns in here. You know we had Guar in here yesterday? You know who Guar is? The rock dudes? What? I interviewed Guar yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before people didn't really want to see that and wanted you to be the tough guy. You probably were laughing with your friends, but you didn't really want to do that for the camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Legend cases. I actually called him. I still have a straight son subscription.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the problem is that sometimes you might do an interview with somebody who maybe you're not fully prepared to really fully like debunk what they're gonna say if you don't agree with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But people always, the example people always give is like, would you do an interview with Richard Spencer, who's like the most well known white supremacist in America?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but all the gang shit on YouTube does super well, but it is really interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's her and this other porn star and they're eating my ass together, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that what I'm taking from what you're saying though, and I think it's a very, very important point that needs to be emphasized, is that we have to be very aware of the corporations that are entering hip-hop at all times, and keep in mind how they might be pulling eyeballs and dollars away from independent hardcore contributors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My question is just, you made the transition so well over to doing podcasts as opposed to just being a rapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you feel like there's a loss of respect? Yes it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ankle it. But would you have the balls to be like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And really, I just don't even talk to my friends about their personal lives so much. Kinda leave that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's room for someone to have that conversation with him. It's like I'm glad that there's a podcast that got to talk to the baby about catching bodies and all that shit, but that doesn't mean that he needs to talk about the shit every podcast he goes on for the rest of his life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like that. Drink Champs needs to wrap it up. The management is telling me they need to get out. Bro, it was such an honor to have you guys on. Honestly, this was incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm grateful for your kind words, Master, and I am grateful for all that you have taught me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very well, Master. I will help search for your medallion. May I ask where you saw it last?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, but have you seen Master Burai Cho's Warriors Medallion? He says he last remembers having it somewhere around here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have returned with your key. The brigands will not likely harass you further.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have learned Master Boricho's fighting styles, and I have recovered his lost warrior's medallion. I was on my way to return it to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a great warrior. I have been personally trained by Master Buraicho and have been awarded the Warrior's Medallion to prove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This place, it feels... dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Shujinko. Pardon my intrusion, but you do not look like a demon of the nether realm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am no beast. I am Shujinko from Earthrealm and I am in search of a powerful demon. I have an acquaintance who wants to... deal with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This appears to be the soul stone that warrior mentioned. I must inform him of its location.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greetings! I have found the Soul Stone. It is to the east, not far from here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ermac, the demon you seek. Does it have a name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. She is looking for you as well. She believes you are a demon and will combat you to purify her soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are mistaken. I am the Elder Gods Champion. Stand down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He referred to himself as the Elder God's chosen warrior. Does he think he is their champion?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May I challenge the infiltrator? I have been endowed with powers from the Elder Gods themselves. I may be able to drive him off for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wander in search of holy relics, madman. Do not block my path.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Shujinko. I am a newcomer to the Realm of Chaos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has asked that I defeat these intruders and place these pendants around their necks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said you would show me the way of chaos if I were to free their minds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I think I understand. I was learning from the unpredictable nature of experience, not from a structured tutorial. I did not realize you had no intentions of harming me when you attacked and therefore I learned to adapt to what I perceived to be a real threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I found it in a labyrinth not far from here. But I feel strange. I feel like I have changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many years? By the gods. I do feel older. It must have been that strange liquid I stepped through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have heard many stories about this realm. This is the domain of the Emperor Shao Kahn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a most uncomfortable position for me. But if it means the citizens will be spared, I will see what I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Tarkata grow in number outside the walls of your city. It is only a matter of time before they overwhelm your military and destroy you all. For the sake of your people I strongly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have been sent here to search for a valuable item said to be hidden in this area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have given my word that I would bring back help from the realm of order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the overlord did not give me the authority to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I am new to this place. How am I to abide by their laws if I do not know them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would not surrender. I did not wish to see his people suffer for his decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever quarrel you may have had with Overlord Zafiro, you had no right to punish them as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then face me in combat. If you are so sure of your strength, kill me yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if I emerge victorious, you must complete one task for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I will leave this realm at once. There is nothing more that I need here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Dimashi. I will return to Earthrealm at once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please excuse my curiosity, but why do you cover your eyes? Are you blind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most impressive, you are truly a warrior of distinction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I find him, I will return to you with any information I uncover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not understand. I am Shujinko. I assure you that I mean no disrespect to your people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel no touch of evil, but my travels have taken me to many worlds. Perhaps it is the result of my journeys in the nether realm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many years? It will delay my quest, but I suppose I should take advantage of your offer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not think so. It has been my greatest desire to win Earthrealm's freedom from you and your master Shao Kahn. Of course, I am not the only one who seeks your defeat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I requested an acquaintance of mine be allowed to compete as well. He too longs to challenge you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has invited us both to his island to face him in Mortal Kombat. He has been watching you. He knew that you were searching for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have dreamed of entering the Mortal Kombat tournament since I was young. You will have to wait your turn, my friend. If he is still alive when I am finished with him, you may take your revenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The warrior Nightwolf had detected an evil stain upon my soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was unable to remove it completely, but he has given me the ability to suppress it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunate. An evil stain has been cleansed from my soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you forgotten the Mortal Kombat tournament? I was on my way to Shang Tsung's island to compete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lord Raiden, I am Shu Jinko. I am the champion of the Elder Gods. It was I who opened the portal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did come to fight for Earthrealm in the tournament, but I have recently been ordered to the Netherrealm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you need my aid when I am finished with my task in the Netherrealm, search for me. I will gladly assist you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no knowledge of this Quan Chi, but I may be able to help you find him. I am Shu Chenko. I have explored this realm before and have become quite familiar with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have returned to the Netherrealm once again to absorb its impurities. I will likely be wandering these wastes for some time to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I discover this Quan Chi, I will relay to you what information I can. For a price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I were to learn your combat skills, perhaps I would absorb enough negative energy to lessen my time here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Delay you at will but you will also gain an ally to aid your search. You will likely find Quan Chi sooner if I search with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will remain in the Netherrealm until he is found, Scorpion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Shu Jinko. I am searching for the sorcerer Quan Chi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Dimashi. I do not wish to remain another moment longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not a denizen of Outworld. I have traveled here from Earthrealm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Shu Jinko. I am from Earthrealm, on a quest for the Elder Gods. I have been instructed to return to Outworld to confront a growing threat here. I seem to have found it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bold words young one, but perhaps a bit foolish. What makes you think you can defeat them both?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps I may be of some help. Over the years I have absorbed much combat skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will teach you what I can, we may, but I do not approve of your intention to combat the two sorcerers alone. I believe that course of action will end in misfortune.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thank you for the gift, Limei. Perhaps your confrontation with the sorcerers is not necessary. I know of someone who might help to free your village. His name is Hotaru.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He once saved the walled city of Lei Chen from the Tarkatan hordes. I will journey there and ask for his assistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guards are watching. I must not draw their attention if I am to escape your village. Goodbye, Li Mei.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all these long years, justice will at last prevail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone else? For what purpose? You have never fully revealed to me the true significance of the Kamidogu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, but I am looking for the one known as Tanya. Would you happen to know her whereabouts?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will take it to them immediately. What will you do now, your highness?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the, on the left side, it's Gaza. On the right side, Yishuv Yisraeli.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barb, I found the missing cops. Quinn's got them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Negative. I'm gonna keep looking. Harley's telling the cops she's got some sort of plan for them. They'll be safe for now. Be careful. This'll end okay. I promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harley's built some kind of monument to the Joker and it's stopping me from getting to Batman. Looking at this place, she's crazier than we thought. I'm gonna search the area and try to work out how to save him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The security panel appears to control the statue. Batman will die in there if I don't find the key. I guess I should go find Harley Quinn and ask her for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What kept you? Ever heard of thank you? What happened to the cops?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, isn't he like a retired fucking UFC fighter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It pains me to use it, Rain. I need more time. The usurper's excursion came too soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three of your fellow counselors, whispering like handmaidens. About what, I wonder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And sedition does not. Speak your last, before I have your tongue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Johnny, Johnny, yes papa Eating sugar, no papa Telling lies, no papa Open your mouth, ha ha ha


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those men were armed. How'd you do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're heading to the propellant research wing. These guys have been raiding the whole facility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't have clearance. But my boss does. A bunch of them took him to the organics lab. Through the lobby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eh, no, no, shut, Lenny. You not? Shut. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always enjoy seeing dirty cops end up on my bus. It reminds me, the system works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you fucking believe this? I asked for Dawes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next time my phone rings, it better be Dawes. Telling me where and when we're gonna have this discussion he said we were gonna have. I'm not coming in to gophers with bullshit badges. I need real protection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, I heard you took down Tyson Lashford. Lot of history in there. What kind of person does that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go tell your boss I had everything on a platter and you fucked it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I found myself, I was working a deck building job, as some of you may know, uhm, and I went up to my boss because that particular day, I was feeling really off and as I should, and I told him I needed to take a break. He didn't deserve, like I didn't deserve to be paid if I wasn't gonna work well, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't looking for any answers, I wasn't looking for anything to shout out at me, I was just looking up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I needed the silence. I needed the solace. I needed the solitude. And then I had a thought. Something I hadn't thought about since I was a child. I thought about that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With in meticulous order every single game that he had bought me over the years. And walking in, I didn't realize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, and then I went back outside, it was dark, and I looked up, and it didn't seem empty anymore. It was everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, no jumper. Adam 22 in this. Today is our first day heading on over to the Wireless Festival. We're gonna be catching a lot of different acts today. Hopefully, uh, doing some on-camera interviews and stuff like that. We're also gonna be trying to walk in right now without getting mobbed by a bunch of these crazy-ass English kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So far, all good. We're gonna see how this goes. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An itching urge for vengeance is what brought me here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father died in a work accident four years ago today. Well, I don't believe in accidents. I believe someone should pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I arrived 14 days ago and sought a place to hide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Granny hugged me goodbye with tears in her eyes. She handed me a basket filled with food. I promised to come back soon with answers and with BB Wolf's blood on my hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For after two weeks of exploration, I'm off to break into the city archives and retrieve some information. I'm not after a bloodbath. I want justice. So fingers crossed I get there without getting noticed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The curfew cleared the streets and drapes went down along with the sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Driving families into poverty, and honest men to dishonest deeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These piles of paper, covered with dust and lies, might just contain a clue to help me uncover the truth. Suspect in the disappearance of Ulrica's women, and my father's death as well, who is this creature from hell? An ugly face, hiding ugly secrets. And an even uglier contractor, so it seems. Looks like the sewer is my next stop. Well, I'm ready to crack open this can of worms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hit me with that dreadful flute. The only thing that hurts is my ears. Was it you who took my mother? And what about my father, Joseph Hood? Speak! Or stay forever mute!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A musician and a jock. Your mother must be proud. I'll get you. Just you wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When word of his death reached the market and a friend of father was summoned to bring the bad news to the woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Father spoke in drawings more often than in words, charcoal was his mother tongue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I a creator if what I create destroys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dear Mr. Wolf, after careful consideration,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did these tin cadets whom I've slaughtered by the dozen originate from your mind? This can't be true. This isn't you. This is not you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a child, I had an army of men like them. But they were tiny with missing limbs and meant no harm. I still cannot believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The harbor was once a vibrant place, especially on sunny days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While their parents met with friends for a picnic at hot blankets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, look who's decided to re-enter the race. Hey, where do you think you're going? Too scared to show your face?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enough with this cat and mouse game, you evil flutist. This time, you won't get away. This time, you'll speak or pay. Tell me, was it you who took my mother? Do you recognize me as her daughter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do we have here? Keep the girl busy until sunset. I'm on my way to the forest to deal with the old hag. Signed, BB Wolf. Wait. Wolf knows I'm here, and he's after Granny. The only twig left on my family tree. That is just not going to happen. The old hag has trained me well, Wolf. I'll beat you to the punch. You'll see.

[Assistant] An old woman spotted me one summer day, wandering the shores of this lake. I must have been three years old. Calmly she kneeled by my side. Where's your mother, dear? Trembling, I replied, she's fast asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She took me home, cooked me a meal and drew me a bath. When folding my cape, mother's socket fell to the floor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could it be the grandchild she'd been praying for? She stumbled outside towards her son, who was in the garden shoveling weed. Joseph, come inside. There's someone you must meet. I remember him walking through the door. He looked at me as if I were a ghost. I recognized the charcoal man in the picture, in the flesh at last. The father mom told me to look for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traumatized and confused, I hardly spoke the first few days. I was afraid to be alone and terrified in the dark, for it reminded me of that place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a while I grew more comfortable in the little house wrapped around the tree and I slowly opened up to my new found family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the few words I knew back then, I told father and granny about the angry men. About my life in dust and darkness, and the tunnel mother dug to set me free. About the dreadful day when she handed me her locket, bid me to go find my father, and gave her own life to help me flee. My sweet, sweet grandma, she's probably setting the table. Clueless of what she's about to get on her plate,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hurts, doesn't it? You reap what you sow, wolf. I wish I could say now we're even, but we're not. An orphan I am, and an orphan I'll be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not going anywhere. Don't talk like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait. Now it's my job to save an entire city? A city that was never even my home!

[Assistant] So I'm some kind of chosen one? Well, I didn't choose to be.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we're gonna give you a little quiz concerning some of the bigger secrets from last year. So let's do some digging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Dr. Tom Horton became the lovable old sage of Salem, he was a cold-hearted desperado, who once shot a man just because he looked like William Bendix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's no secret the next two presenters made temperatures rise on General Hospital.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Won't do you any good walking around starkers. Here, try these on. They were our sons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My job, I enjoy it very much. My contribution in conservation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's something that makes me proud. Working with rangers and patrols, uh, with the guides, with animal trackers. This is the best office in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Agachira means the dignity of Rwandans. Working together, put efforts together, it makes me proud to be Rwandan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the year's most heart-wrenching romance? Marla Maples tells all. Coming up next on the 8th Annual Soap Opera Awards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Kaola Bule. I'm a National Geographic Explorer and Associate Director of Lion Conservation for Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was all about collecting data to really put this population on the map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This country endured 16 years of civil war, and that war was centered in Gorongosa. During that time, there was a lot of overhunting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by 2006, the Greg Carr Foundation and the government of Mozambique forged a long-term plan to restore this national park to the gem that it used to be before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the past decade we've seen a remarkable recovery of wildlife populations with the exception of lions. They didn't make a strong comeback and our research was specifically to ask why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be effective in conservation, you have to collect data which will guide you in the right direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we first got started, we knew we had to collect data on how many lines we had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many females? How many males? And what they were eating? Where they were ranging?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we collect data using a variety of techniques.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One is we collect spatial data from the GPS satellite collars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every lion with a collar has a unique number, so we can tune in on the dial on the radio, and actually hear where they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Secondly, we use camera traps to collect data on lions and other species across the park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We collected so much data that we launched Wildcam Gorongosa, which allows anybody with a wifi connection to log on and help us identify species.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In conservation these days, you need to be able to react fast. So we don't have time on our side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And thirdly, we are actually on the ground with our teams collecting data in the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through our data collection we learned that snares were the biggest threat to lions. A snare is a piece of wire


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] or a steel jaw trap that are set by hunters in the park to catch buffalo, warthog, but incidentally lions are in these very same places and they become entrapped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patrols go out and sweep areas clean of devices that lions and other wildlife are getting trapped in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can come back with 20, sometimes they come back with 200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're actually collecting data on where these snares and traps are set because they are patterned. Closer to water, forest edges, closer to the boundary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the past year, we've seen such high cup production. Wherever we look, all the lionesses we've been studying have cups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this point, we feel like we're on the path to recovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The time is now. If we don't act today, in 20 years we could lose lions on this continent. That's why we care, and we believe we can do something to better the situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Data collection will always be important in conservation. New threats will emerge. They won't be the same as threats we encountered five or ten years ago. They may.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are a weaver of tales and a spinner of stories, brother to that distant storyteller who told around the tribal fire his or her people of their trials and travels and histories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are, as an artist, inexorably linked to the weavers of Beowulf, Canterbury Tales and Great Expectations.

[Assistant] For 35 years, beginning here with American television, you have painted beautiful canvases and peopled them with rich characters. You have weaved tales of love and hate and life and death.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farewell and Godspeed, gentlemen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Master Kormak. To what do I owe the pleasure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Master Kormak, I didn't expect to see you again so soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How strange. This is a very old cipher. I have seen it once before. I could draw you a map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for your help, Captain Cook. You're welcome, Captain Cormac. Sailing with you is certainly, ehm, interesting. Eh, trouble does seem to find us, it's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me the truth. Are you fellas with a larger organization?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If my character Jim Dial were recording this, it might go something like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working in the soap opera genre is a demanding profession. It takes the most consummate artistic and technical skills to portray a complex psychological character five days a week, 52 weeks a year, with little or no time to rehearse. Gee, that sounds a lot like my job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trevor Dillon, no doubt the most impeccably dressed man on all my children, is the absolute master when it comes to communicating the oh-so-subtle psychological nuance.

But uh, my uh, my uncle, you ever seen Pay Them Four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My uncle used to tell me I was gonna be like ace. Oh, okay. Nah, different he was. There you go. But like Ice Band is this little music group called Young Gang, the way they spell it. When you're young.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot how old I was when I got in with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My uncle, my uncle wanted to move to Florida. I don't remember, I was young, so I'm glad, I'm glad we did though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like, it's just home. But I, even though I know it's fucked up, but I just know it's home.

[Assistant] You gotta make your own way, you gotta be different, you gotta, you know what I'm sayin', but Flo got a lot of talent though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I ain't, I couldn't really have no fun. What's up? We used to struggle too much to even have, like, fun to us was like, you know, hot shit. You know what I'm saying? Fun with us is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We used to struggle so much so we couldn't like go out, go out to like theme parks and like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't really do no part. I don't do part cause I'm high.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was saying, I get like, if I feel a type of way, I just get the acting crazy. If I feel it, I feel the vibe of tense, I just feel the acting crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That time mean everything, attention mean everything. No matter how much money somebody got or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or how much jewelry, all that extra shit I got. But if you ain't got the right intentions, you're gonna go get it from somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, I ain't, I ain't, I ain't, I ain't, I don't know, I, I couldn't really see the brighter side until I had the light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go deeper in my mind and see that it could be life somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I, when I got the feel of myself, when I got the norm, like, oh, I'm like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or like, oh damn, that nigga made that much money, I can do the same thing. I've always been a hustler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I just, I just, I just, I just knew, I just knew I had to do it because it wasn't no other way. Or at least I'm gonna struggle my whole life. Right. Cause I ain't, I ain't, ain't too much things I can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can say, okay, when I say it's too hard for me to do, I mean as in saying like, it won't satisfy me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rapping, I know I can make a lot of money out of it, right? But just rapping the whole time might not just satisfy me. I might want, I gotta do this, real estate, gotta do this right here, all this, it's the movie, actors, you know what I'm saying? All that to make more money so I can be satisfied. So I can take care of who I need to take care of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I had to, when I realized life was, I seen it first hand. Like, I seen it happen to myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I ain't gonna lie, like, ain't a lot of people around me been successful. Like, I don't know nobody around me successful that I haven't grew up with or I ever watched.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always knew I wanted to be a startle, so I just knew it was something, but when I used to do music when I was little,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I used to like listen to Michael Jackson and shit. Michael Jackson, oh, he dope. Actually from Gary in there, I know that's right around the corner from East Chicago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, so I used to just like watch him do it when he was younger like, just watch him like, like grow and all that. You know, I was young so it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So I used to have to go all the way back to him. He was already older. So I used to have to go all the way back to when he was younger. I just watched him. I ain't even watched the new him. I was watching the old him. While everybody was watching the new him, I was watching the old one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? So I just, I just seen that he did it and like, just all that type of shit just made me just like, I could do music, like I could, I used to sing along with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really like to speak to people because I just know how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just use music as an event to let out everything, my problems and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how to draw, I don't know how to paint. I can paint pictures in my music though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, Lil Wayne used to talk like that too though, you know what I'm saying? But Bootsy used to talk that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to put it on SoundCloud and I like, I used to, I had a beat on one phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had, they had a studio in their house, so I started recording in their house. I part of recorded like two songs with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, uh, and then I used to record somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then he stopped and let me come to his thing because he felt like I was going to outshine him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then, that was somebody off on the west side though. But, uh, then like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other boys I used to run with, they took me to a real studio and ever since then I just took off. I just fell in love with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The process of making music, the process of making like how I feel and explaining it more and how I sound with it. And I used to take it home to my brothers. I used to let my brother listen to it. And they used to like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yeaah, I ain't gonna lie, my brothers, they always like, was always behind me. But like, I mean, you know, people gonna tell you like, oh, such and such when you're younger, but like, when they really realized that I can be a big star, that's when like, they just got to like, okay, come on, you need to go to the studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'ma be honest, uh, any, any, any type of support always helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always gotta worry about it, but I ain't gonna lie, I don't never, see we don't never go out to eat cause we don't do nothing fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was like our first time going out like that. And I ain't gonna lie, we was slipping. Just being too low-key.

[Assistant] I didn't know I would set them on time until the doctor was calling it out while he was trying to fix me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, look. Okay, I remember this. When I got shot, when I was on the ground, when my girlfriend was dead, I told her I was going to die. So, but when I got in the, I was trying to, I ain't going to lie. I ain't, I wasn't trying to fight it out. Cause I ain't, I ain't, when they told me they was dead, I just felt like I was supposed to die too. So I just, I was just, I just was just there. But then something just clicked was like, shit, I gotta be, yo.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was like, uh, he was like a daddy to me, cause my daddy was doing 15 years in prison, and he was like the head of our family. You know, you got that one person in our family that just control everything. Right. And when he died, that's when like, shit got really shaken. Weird. But then, but then like the closest


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I get him, this is my best friend. I met him when he was a little boy. And then this is my mother, but I met him in third grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't gonna say that. But yea, I'ma say yea, but then, that's not why I really got it. I just got it cause they, they meant something to me. They mean something to me. So anything that means something to me is on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're forever stuck with me, so when you see me, I always got my shirt off. So when you see me, you're gonna see them too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. Even when I get stuck, when I get a moment when I get stuck, I probably look down and look at them. But when I jump on stage, they all be there with me. Definitely. So I rock out. I rock out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made me way more serious. Cause they used to support me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's always a dream about, talk about, all there's always to talk about. So it's just like, it'd be wrong if I didn't complete it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or leave me hanging. Exactly. And make it better, cause I know I can depend on her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She always be her. But I can say it made us close to anything. I ain't gonna lie, day by day make us closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I just know she there for me, even if she was there when I didn't have a dollar in my pocket. How long you been with her? Like four years. Four years, okay, so that's when you didn't have shit too. When I didn't have a dollar, but I knew her since fifth grade. Mmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was there when I didn't have a dollar in my pocket, when I didn't have no food. She used to bring me food. She's the first girl I ever took out on a date. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, our first date was going to the movies. You know how you're supposed to hold the dough? I kept fucking up the whole day. The whole day I'm fucking up. I'm like, oh I'm supposed to hold the dough, don't I? Just fucking up. She thought that shit was cute.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, when I was young, we used to go to the mall and shit. But the mo- where I'm at, there's some movies right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody used to like go to the mall and try to hit the movies and shit. I used to like, I never used to go in the movies. Cause I probably didn't know, I didn't want to take no girl no date. I didn't want to feel like a scrub.


[User] Please transcribe this text
