[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I like the part too where they're sitting in the living room watching


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her vlog footage in the wrong aspect ratio. I would just, that's the moment where I want to say, Oh, let me fix that freaking fucking TV for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They never show the part where the husband walks into it and then just stares at her angrily like, hm, I thought we talked about moving this. And he goes, hm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she looks scared again and he's like, where's the vlog today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that implication's still definitely there. They're like, I think that has been a societal thing for years. You don't, don't buy a loved one exercise equipment and go, what are you gonna do with it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, so like our example, uh, Jess and I redid our garage in the backyard and like I bought gym equipment for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I never went, here's a squat rack you can use. Here's some weights. It was just like, I'm buying this for both of us. Like I'm going to use it. If you want to use it, awesome. If there's, she wanted a BOSU ball or BOSI ball or whatever. One of those things. Yeah. What is, what is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big blue, like a, like a Vizio ball, but then there's a platform you can stand on it or whatever. I'm never going to use that thing in a million years. She was like, I want that. Right. Okay, cool. Got it. But I never went like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it is. Go. Why don't you start working up it? Because then it's like, at that point, yeah, the implication, yes, that the guy's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very final shot, you don't really look at it because you're focused on the left side where they're sitting on the couch, but she's on the screen making this face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess yea, would it be, would people be upset if she was a larger woman in the beginning of it and then she became thin at the end? That, that seems shitty. Which is actually, I mean, which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, cause like I'm, we're, I think we're used to the, like the SNL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of ones where they shoot it like where it looks almost identical. It's like the joker thing with Oscar the grouch and it shot the same way as the joker trailer. Like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you can find a gym that's affordable, that's awesome. That's great. But I don't, yeah man, I don't need the literal bells and whistles. Jesus. Huh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Games are interesting because of the interactive aspect to it, because then there's someone controlling that, even though they're not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, so Mortal Kombat for example. Oh, cause it's interactive. It's an interactive game, but when it goes into that x-ray move or whatever, that is a scripted thing happening. It would be like watching John Wick or something like that, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I can see where the confusion was or where, like, they were like, but wait, someone made them do that or like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes some education, so I, I'm, for once I think YouTube's actually, not for once, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and yeah, demonetize just, yeah, no ads. Yeah, there's basically a tier they can put you in, where you want to be, you want to be advertiser friendly for all. It's a difference, there gets some confusion between family friendly and advertiser friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to be advertiser friendly. Family friendly, not really so much, but family friendly, friendly will sometimes turn into advertiser friendly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surprisingly, adult ads don't want to buy a lot of ads based on YouTube. Surprise, surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if they were to one day...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope it helps guys like Maximilian where they don't have to go in certain frames and make it all green and have their viewers go, why'd you do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that was, that was, uh, that's what they told us, or what we learned from the internet, which is just like, just don't play any of the music and the gameplay's fine, because it was just us getting drunk playing Mario games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was saying take it a step further. I was actually surprised that GTA 5 didn't have like a Last FM or Spotify integration. I think there's a mod where one of the radio stations is your music. But I was like, oh, why wouldn't they just do that one day? Where it's just like, it's just, no one has it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I just, I don't think they, they knew what they had. For once. It's weird, because uhm, we, we went to, I think we maybe talked about this on Filmhouse, but I'll repeat the story, I don't think you guys heard this, but, uh, Jacob and I went to the Mandalorian premiere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, Werner, Werner, Werner, Werner Herzog was there, and he was talking about how they had the, uhm, they had the puppet on set, the baby Yoda puppet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when they originally shot it, they took it out because they're like, we might do a CGI. We don't know. Werner Herzog is like, commit to the puppet. You are a coward. Don't be a coward, Jon Favreau. It's funny because you told us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, there's a lot of- is that on Disney Plus? Song of the South is not, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what they're doing right now. They have this streaming service and they're like, we need original content. What do we have? Star Wars. Scrambling? Yea, and they're like, who's watching this? Kids. And someone put the two words together and Star Wars kids?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know how the production was on that show, like they shot a season in a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All those kids were there the same day. So like, when the silver monkeys come out, it's like, those are the kids from, like, they were waiting in a room for six hours, like, all right, your turn. Like, what are we doing? And they're like, and who answered these questions three? Like, what's happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but then, like, also, Legend of the Hidden Temple is great because they ran out of funding, like, I think halfway through, right? And they didn't have any money for prizes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you gotta go fight, uh, Darth Vader and he chokes your ass. Because you can't beat him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like, Rose is a strong character, agree or disagree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took out Bugs, they took out Bugs' life land because Kevin Spacey's in there. Hopper's buried in the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna be really upset. No one knew Bugs Life was there. That's actually part of the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you knew, no, no, you knew those were there, but the, like, the Hopper experience where, like, Kevin Spacey comes down and yells at you, like, no one knew that was a park, that was a thing at the park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he was banging his stepdaughter. Or his adopted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, live action, uhm, reality, kids, tv show. It feels kinda like you're diluting the franchise a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was done under Lucas's control, so who knows what we're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess, yeah, maybe Star Wars has already been. I mean, yeah, this just feels corporate, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they stream it now. Everyone has like a pipeline, basically. So it's like, it used to be, they deliver, I mean, used to be. Physical? Physical. I mean, they, you know, obviously they ship film out, but then it was hard drives and now it's just, it's a fiber line. Wow. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though, I don't think he has all those. Does he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless Egot means something else and James is Weirdhead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, yeah, I'll just, I'll go with the Emmy Grammy Oscar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he absolutely is an E guy. I thought there was going to be some weird word he got that starts with an O. Oh no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm gonna guess he wrote Alanis Morissette's You Oughta Know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're swapping people out. You're not gonna get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did his techno remix on Tetris that I downloaded on App Store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is his Chris Gaines or whatever moment. See? You learn something every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I take up so much room, so I sit in the back or the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No! No Andrealotex! Zip-a-dee-dee-da! Zip-a-dee-day! No peels for Andre!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they have to shut down the road now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Friends is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Jennifer Aniston has an Instagram account. We could not be more excited. So let's use TV to force some introspection onto ourselves through some top rated episode discussions here on DudeSoup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey friends that I hang out with all the time at this local coffee shop in, uh, downtown Manhattan. How are you guys doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you doin'? Well, with that said, let me introduce all my friends here today. I'm Adam, playing the role of Ross and or Chandler. Okay. Elise is joining me today as...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a hot old man in many of the seasons. And Alana, you are some sort of Dragon Ball character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks pretty much like Monika's hair. That's what I figured. Yeaah, she did wear a fat suit in some of those episodes. So just for the fans, and I guess also for our audio listeners who have no idea what the hell is going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're just supposed to use, I thought it was something about urine that made it special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, because they swim, it's weird. They have the long tail, right? The sharp tail. They don't fly into you, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't the conversation I wanted to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Because being sung by a jellyfish, this is another question I had, I could have researched this, but much like sitcom, television is more fun to have a discussion. What, if you get sung by a jellyfish, it's gonna happen to Steve-O and like Jackass and stuff, it's not life threatening. No, it just hurts a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Children are weak. I know it almost hurt. It almost killed Dory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't know nothing, can't remember nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dory! Swim Dory! Uh, and other shows featuring Jellyfish include the hit show Patriot that got cancelled in its third season because no one watched it and has a great scene featuring Jellyfish and I highly recommend you watch it. Is there urine involved as well? I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. There's a whole thing. We never see it happen on the show because it's a clean show. It's fine. But here's, here's the real, here's the next question. This was a life-changing moment I think for most people. We were talking about it before this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Episode 23 and 24. So you're about to wed the love of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you say, in the show it's the debate, I don't know if she was really that, you know, that one. Uh, and you say the wrong name during your vows. Do you power through or cut your losses? Alternative question, you are the bride, do you forgive Ross?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Ross's case, he was jet lagged, he was in a different country, he was stressing out. He's also kind of a dirtbag. He's been married a few times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So his excuse was, she was fresh on my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason, instead of saying Emily, I said Rachel. Is that forgivable or do you like Emily?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The King of Norway? Uhm, unrelated question, still related to this, not in the episode, it's never brought up. Is it a dick move to have a wedding in London and invite all your friends? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phoebe? Jess is here in the control room watching. Yea, it was triplets. Is she? Yea. She's very excited to see the friends. I saw her hands, she's at three. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, have you ever had a friend that was like, we're getting married. And it's like your friend you grew up with or whatever, North Carolina or Canada or Australia. And they're like, getting married in Hawaii. You're like, thanks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Brussels. We're getting married in Brussels. Come join us. You're all invited to go. Thanks, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, uh, counter question, uhm, you feel like you've moved past it, you, you set it all up, but then you surprise him at the airport, but then you see him getting on the plane with the woman whose name he said at the wedding, going on your guys' honeymoon. Do you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you guys are talking about. What show? Then at the wedding, will you let Ross pee on you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honey scans the internet for coupon codes and other discounts, and it works basically like magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That automatically applies. Be one of the biggest savings to your cart at checkout, which is always fantastic. It knows about every coupon, sale or discount on over 20,000 websites like Amazon, Macy's, J.Crew, Domino's, Sephora, Target, and many more. So just shop like normal and honey finds you savings and believe you me, it is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really awesome when you just go online. I have personally bought a few things on Amazon and just like that save like five bucks on a wireless charger. Totally simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I would have missed on that otherwise, so thank you Honey for that. Honey also has found its 10 million users over a billion dollars in savings, so why not you? So, listen, there's really no reason not to use Honey.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our friends. And we're friends. Uh, so we're done about, we're done peeing on each other and we're done talking about marriage proposals for now. We can come back to it, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm moving on to the next one. This is one I know James and I definitely have a story about. Uh, I think we've all been there though. This is from the episode, the one with the cop, season five, episode sixteen. We've all helped a friend move a couch or two. What is the best strategy and what are some common mistakes when helping a friend move?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to pivot. I feel like everyone's been in a situation where someone goes, hey, can you help me move this weekend? It usually happens when you're in your late teens, early twenties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had that happen a couple times in my life. I'll tell this story because Jess is here and I'm not saying anything bad, but this, we did, her and her family did help her move one time and it was a similar situation where it was like, some stuff was packed and it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you're moving a book, like a drawer, or like a clothes drawer, sock drawer full of Star Wars novels. There's a purpose. Well, you, at least you're like, this must be like 60, 50 pounds, something like that, like oh. When you're carrying the 45 pound weight, you know what it is. You lose the experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very adult moment. I think everyone goes through is when you first move a fridge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in your mind, you're like, as a kid, you're like, that thing will crush me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Purposeful lifting. Yeah, the, the adult moment I think comes into when you bite the bullet and go, I'll hire a mover. Yeah, and also like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there was a time where I was happy to help move. I was like no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did a thing when we moved to our last place where we packed everything, but then we, we've done this before, we try to move as much as we can on our own. They can go in boxes, but then when it's like big heavy stuff or like TVs and things we have to be kind of careful with. I remember that when we helped Bruce move. That was one of the things, by the time we got everything in, the last thing he had was the TV. And he was like, eh, just put it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember it was just standing freeform in the truck and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that was a short lived roommate as well. Pivot! Yeah, a lot of pivot. Pivot! Uhm, that's great. I love talking about stories about moving. It's good. I haven't, hopefully I don't have to do it again anytime soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, oh man, there's nothing to moving where I feel like you just, you're just okay with everything because I remember one time I think when we were moving into Bruce's place we bashed a pillar pretty hard. Maybe the couch and left a mark and Bruce was like, it's fine, just keep going, just keep going. It was pivot, move, pivot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, alright, moving on to our next question. Uhm, this is, this is more of a, you guys can, I don't know if we want to do this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot we're a goat, a goat game channel. I forgot about that. I'm sorry. I forgot to go, uh, start my million somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's been, I can't say what it is, but a number has been like, sort of thrown out there of how long it is, and I was like, that, there's just too much. I think the outer wall is just gonna ruin my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks, it's, uh, I guess for those who don't know, it's the guys who made Fallout New Vegas, it's their new game. It looks like the successor, the spiritual successor to Fallout. I know James, you're not into those types of games typically. It looks good, it looks good. Yea, it has like a retro-futuristic vibe to it. Just fall out in space. I dig the aesthetic, I love everything about it, but like... Yea, you may like it based on that world more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love you honey. I love you too. I'll try thinking more. I'm gonna move over to some other questions. I'll tease this one, but I do have to throw out to a quick sponsor shortly. This one has to do with a sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to remind our viewers and listeners that this podcast is brought to you by Upstart. As most of us have found out, the hard way getting into debt is easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting out is hard, especially if your credit score is not so good. Thankfully now there's upstart.com, the revolutionary leading platform that knows you're more than just your credit score and offers smarter interest rates to help you pay off high interest credit card debt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much all been there. Uh, most people I know are friends that I've known growing up with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you've been in that situation where you're just getting by week to week, uh, paycheck by paycheck, and it sucks. It really sucks to be drowning in debt. So Upstart goes beyond the traditional credit score system when assessing your credit worthiness. They actually reward you based on your education and job history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So over 300,000 people have used Upstart to pay off credit cards or meet their financial go-goals, whatever they may be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is me going back and telling this. I actually used to work in this before I got into media. A lot of people don't know this. Uh, credit card debt is always insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you want to do is get, you want to lump all your debt into a low interest loan and that actually helps you pay that stuff down and save money. It's a really smart way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's upstart.com slash dude. Thank you upstart. Uh, thank you upstart for sponsoring this show so we can talk about the sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is from the episode, The One with Ross's Sandwich, Season 5, Episode 9. Alternate question, would you dive in front of a bullet to save a sandwich?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mmhm. He described them wasn't it Joey's sandwich? No, it's Ross's. Well, it's technically Monica's. Yeah, I believe it's a Thanksgiving Day, you know, leftover


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I forget the actor's name. The one who was Phoebe's boyfriend for a while. He's always a Boston cop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, I don't know, like. A good bowl of mac and cheese. I don't know why you'd have that out in a summer place when I'm getting shot, but yeaah. Good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he didn't consider him when he thought, once again, it was also a car backfiring. It wasn't even a bullet that went off. But he dove in front of him and then that's what made Chandler upset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one wasn't really meant to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you and a significant other go on a break, how long until you are allowed to see other people? Ross waited about 15 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as Jess keeps reminding me, he hooked up with the copy girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she had a belly button piercing, right? Something like that. And she's even like, she's on Ross's side, she's like, hey, I hope you get back together as a girlfriend. And then Rachel finds out that he hooked up with another girl and she's upset, but there's the famous line, we were on a break.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, yeaah, when you break up, uhm, what's the usual, what's the statute of limitations?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like James said, they were so hot and heavy, they never got to that discussion because it was just so heated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're Matthew Broderick, your girlfriend dumps you because you hang out with your cable guy too often, and then you sleep with a hooker not knowing she's a hooker. Are you in the wrong?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one final question here before we get to our trivia game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I guess it's not flipped, you had no idea. Uh, so this is from the episode, the one where everyone finds out, season 5, episode 14. Did you ever know something that the other person didn't know that you knew, but you actually knew? Or did you ever know something about the other person, but they knew that you knew, but you didn't know that they knew you knew?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to tell the specifics but if you have a story, jump right in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a secret, they know the secret, but they don't know that you know that they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people know, some people don't know and they're trying to figure out and they're all messing with each other and just keeps getting deeper and deeper. No one wants to explicitly say it. It's fantastic for a sitcom premise, but I've never had a situation like that where it is like a perpetual bluff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This happens all the time in game development where you talk to someone early on, so Injustice was announced. He was at Comic Con, I think we were doing it, we had to do an interview for him for work, and after we were talking to him, I'm like, oh, I can't wait till you add Bane. And he sort of looked at me like, who told you we were putting Bane in it? Rhymes is Bane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just like, it's a fighting game, why wouldn't you have Bane in the game? And he was just sort of like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know anything, I just assumed, but he sorta told me with his beautiful eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but before we do that, I want to thank Bespoke for sponsoring this podcast. This fall start a new monthly routine. I dare you, uh, that will upgrade your life and style with Box of Awesome from Bespoke Post.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, in the, uh, the ultimate episode of Friends, I, I say, this is my list. It's a great episode. The one with the embryos, which the embryo part is actually not very interesting. It's the trivia game they play. This is from season 4, episode 12.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where, uh, the men, Joey and Chandler, play a trivia game against, uh, Monica and Rachel to win their apartment and they want, uh, in exchange for getting rid of the rooster. That's the bet, essentially. But they have to do a trivia game as made by Ross. So, I've taken myself out of this trivia game and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, great. Good. Wow. Board. Okay. Perfect. Okay. I have made a trivia game. Sorry, Ben. That's beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James and Jacob are trying to move into Alana and Elise's apartment in exchange for, what do you guys want? What do the ladies want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could flip a packet of sugar. I'll flip a packet of sugar. One sec. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ladies, this is vodka. Go ahead and pick your category. Fias and pet peeves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You fucked up, KirbyO. You're supposed to know more about each other. So, here's a question for the ladies. Where you going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Okay, question for the ladies. Alright, I'll wait for you, Elise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, next one you have to guess. Or you have to give an answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ancient history maybe? Yeah, I'm thinking ancient history. We'll do ancient history. Okay, I think I got one here already. Yeah. Prepared. Okay, this one only Jacob. Well, yeah, no, only Jacob can answer this. Okay, great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a win or where did James and Elise first meet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Alana has to answer this question. Okay. Is it Alana? Incorrect. It's Dan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a question for the ladies. What two races make up Jacob?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, name Elise's biggest fear. This is for both of us, I assume. Yeah, you should know this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What year was Jacob born? Jacob is twenty...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacob, I don't know if you shouldn't be able, well yea, you can answer this, it's fine. We'll find out. Uh, when did Alana first meet Jacob?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what is Jacob's favorite thing to do when he's not working?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and this is just, since you got the score right now is two and a half to one half. Final question for ladies is, who's Jacob's favorite parent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but that's it for our episode today. Thank you for coming. Thank you, special guest, Jacob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. Uh, our team put a lot of work into uh, putting the set together. So give them a little round of applause. Thank you. You don't have to. The audience. I'll give them, I'll give them four applause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thank you to our sponsors, uh, Honey Bespoke and Upstart. We'll see you guys next week. Take it easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a slut! That's like one of the only things that I could find that FatMonica actually says. Oh, you're FatMonica?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know what, I probably would if it was like on my leg or something. If they're gonna like pee on my back or my chest, that's gonna be a hard no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They generally, because it's so common in Australia, people have vinegar, like the lifeguards just pour vinegar on you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, you can pee on my legs, but no El Haya.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I have thought about that and then I live in a country that is 20 hours away from my family. No plants getting married anytime soon, but I'm like, what would I do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like in theory, I'm probably not going to marry an Australian. So, Hawaii?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To, to, to the original question, what was it? If you screw that up, you'd have to power through, I think. Yeah, you just keep going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, would you forgive him? I mean yea, you also have to do that. Or what? You just ruined a marriage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His body's so tainted. He'd cut through it, you know? Uhm, and then maybe Phoebe, I feel like she'd be potent. It'd probably walk the fastest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a 65 inch TV that I put on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that was about the height of this table, and I was by myself. And it took me about three hours to figure out how the fuck I was gonna do that because I couldn't lift it, it was too wide, it would slip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if I tried to just push it from the bottom, it was too heavy, it would fall over. So then I tried stacking it on things. I was like, what if I like layer boxes and I like move it up bit by bit. That didn't work because it broke through the boxes. I ended up having to tilt it backwards and then slide it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, it just kind of sank in me thinking about how much Blaine actually did in that move and like, I mean, I put everything in boxes, but he really moved everything. I'm like, what am I going to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to think of like, uh, what the most outstanding pro- uh, con of Atom would be? Uhm, sometimes- That people would just- I have one. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gets grumpy a little bit if you're playing like a co-op experience and someone is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's too good at the goat game. Definitely too good at the goat game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacob. I'm, yeaah, okay, I'll do Jacob. Uhm, Jacob.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very bright and uplifting. Uh, he's very pleasant to be around. Nice head of hair. Uhm, he's enthusiastic, hardworking, cons. Sometimes he says some really dirty shit out of nowhere, unprompted, and you don't expect it and it throws off your whole day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes he'll talk about how he's like already light level 970 in Destiny 2 Shadowkeep and then he also built furniture this weekend and he has a successful relationship and a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he manages our Minecraft village? Like I don't... Fuck Jake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would dive in front of a bullet to save any of my family members. Friends? Probably not. That's fine. To save a sandwich? Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never hook up with someone else because the point of a break is usually to repair the relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, never. Uh, but if you're broken up, whenever the fuck you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then like, I mean, I don't know, if people try to surprise me, I'll be like, I kind of figured it out because I feel like being disingenuous is also shitty. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God, he's always so pleasant. Uh, things that would annoy Jake. You have five seconds left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A rudeness maybe? No, I don't think you'd even care. I'm just gonna go with traffic. I'm gonna assume Jacob doesn't like traffic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long ago was 28? He's either 27 or 28 and I think he's 28. Uh, how long ago was that? You don't really have to do math.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you say I should respect the Xbox specs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the fuck are you talking about? Cause you know what happened, right? There's someone in R&D and they're like, we have new, uh, gumbo microbial thing. There's some sales guy who goes, how do I market this? He goes, it's got teeth razors now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So but they're, they're not promising any of that fancy cloud stuff on the Series X, right? Cause I mean, that was a big deal on Xbox One with like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to use the power of the Azure servers. And it's like Azure, that thing I use the pirate stuff. I know it's different now, but they, they, that was their big selling point with crackdown three, I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's being processed on a server somewhere else and none of it made it in. Oh really? Yeaah. Or not on the scale they were. They were like, you can destroy a city because all that's being rendered on some server somewhere on Seattle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it works really well when you're in Seattle at the Microsoft office next to the server.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The person on the right has already been married, uh, they're, they're done with their work for the day. Yeah. Uh, their kid's been born. The guy on the left is, he still hasn't woken up. It's, it's different. It's fast life in the fast lane, baby. That's series X for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Right. That's what I, that's sort of the size of this thing. I was just wondering because this was a theory I had years ago. We talked about with the original generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was assuming the future of Redbox on stuff because they're trying to slowly phase out discs. I mean, slow, it's happening. But the idea is that you have this M2 card or this SSD. You just go to the Redbox, plug it in. If it's fast enough, a proprietary example, you can download a game in five minutes. Whatever, if you're in it, it's not fast enough. Obviously that takes a little bit of, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R&D and stuff to sort of like get going, but I could see kiosk being like the new way of renting games is like just put on a stick, you know? I don't know if anyone's gonna do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean Ori, oh I get, well yea, because you're talking about PC. Yea. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's all basically become the same thing. It's almost like buying a TV now where you go, oh, the LG TV is really nice. Well, Samsung does some really cool things, but like TCL, who knows what they're doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I know, well I know the way Microsoft was doing it was, is like you put the disk in, once you put it in, then it's like, it's locked to that system, or it's locked to your account. Which is, it's dumb to come out and say, this is how it's gonna be and you're gonna like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's the new age of Phil Spencer is, we'll give you whatever you want and then based on user feedback, we'll give you different options. So the diskless one was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of people just downloading games. What if we made a cheaper version that was for those people? And for people to get upset and raggo, but the other one's still there. It costs a little bit more because it's more parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, those, those sorts of things makes it, makes it a little easier. Like I think the, the idea of choice is nice or at least the illusion of choice where you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, when was the last time you bought a laptop with a CD drive in it, you know? It's like, those things just kind of go away, but there's still an option to use it, you just use an external USB one, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's what it's going to become is go, oh yeaah, we have options for it, but it's, this is technology that's being phased out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Share the VR headsets, but disinfect them. That is, that is, this whole thing has raised a lot of interesting concerns. A lot of schools are, you know, the tele, teleworking, telecommunicating, all that stuff. But internet is not yet a utility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sort of raises that question as should internet be a utility now that I think we've, we've all agreed that it's like, okay, our lives cannot go on without this thing. It is. It's something for like schools, which is a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given to you comes out of your taxes or whatever. It's just one of those bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world is feeling a lot different right now. And the idea that we're forcing ourselves to do so much online, I think is really, it's like a giant beta test. It's like, can this actually work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm curious what it's going to look like when we come out of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to do that recently with, uhm, Funhouse TV. We're using this new software to make it work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to put in our videos, you have to do one link at a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's automation in a nutshell, right? But it's like, well maybe, maybe the task shouldn't be so redundant. Maybe it should be a button you hit and it just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my question about the, the theory is because, uh, series, series X and PS5 are in redelayed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely because of the part shortages and just, just how the global economy has been affected and just like, yeah, there we, we might get the announcements, but the big 2020 release might not have until 2021, which is, um, you know, obviously there's, there are bigger things going on than, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me getting a new plastic toy this year. So like, I totally understand that. It's just like a crazy bummer when it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my, my, my little world being affected by world events and now it is, it is getting there. It's like, it's, it's a very eye opening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, in the end times, a switch would still work. Solar panel, battery. You good, baby?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It infects all the toilet water. I've never laughed at an upper decker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think MacGruber did it and said, that's the funniest it'll ever be. I remember there were people that were like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like, I was in the middle of a hardcore, uh, Chi-Ra and I noticed the blue light up in the ceiling. And they're like, that's the smoke detector. Get rid of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah. Oh, Elijah told you. That's what I heard. Maybe I got the story wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I feel like, like, leave Elijah alone. He's probably, like, Elijah Wood's like, I DJ bagpipe music, fuck you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had dreadlocks in that movie. I remember him from, uh, My So-Called Life. Oh yeaah. How I first knew him. And then, uh, Requiem for a Dream, where I was like, man, that guy can really act. God, that guy's a douchebag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you don't have your own thoughts or keep them to yourself and write them in your journal for something like that. I just, I like that it opens up with it's not just I've been gone for 12 days. It's I've been gone for 12 days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the qualifier. I was in, I was met, it's like, it just reveals so much about someone where it's like, I must offer this information up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm saying like, you could have said, off the grid, you don't say, I was with my friend, Cher. You know, it's like, you just say you were out. Cher was with me. Right. Yeah. It's just like, okay, the weird name dropping. Well, he wants us to understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it. Yes. He's centered. Self-centered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it. He sees those 300,000 likes or whatever and he goes, Jared's doing something, right? He says, looking at a time magazine cover of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's probably like if, in case you have a cut or something and then you drink something, you can try to sue them and go, the water you gave me was bad. And they're like, so they, it's probably them just covering themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I drink sausage water a lot. Have you seen that? Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, it's water bottles, but it's like, how'd they get the sausage in there? The bottles, they grow it inside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I've learned anything from the documentary Equilibrium, uh, you need to hide the, hide the brain control pills that they give you for some reason instead of forcing down your throat and just hide them behind the mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a big question. We're in a weird place because uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the world's in a weird place and it puts us in a weird place, but our job is to create levity and create a sort of escapism, but it's kind of hard when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels good to laugh, and I hope we're making other people laugh, but like, yeaah, I think, I don't want to speak for everyone on this table, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've definitely felt funky these past couple days. You feel like there's just this cloud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, kinda chasing you, and then it also was raining here, which it doesn't really rain in LA a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so they were sort of like, oh, my feeling is being, uh, personified in the form. Like in Men in Black 2. Never saw it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we are fortunate that this is one of those times where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being owned by a corporate conglomerate is sort of helpful when you get an email from like, you know, Warner, Warner Media, and they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is serious, stay home. You're like, oh cool, okay, at least you know your company's got your back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, and you know, there's health insurance and there's sort of precautions for these sorts of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I know like, all the gyms are shut down, except you pay them monthly anyways, so they're fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, uh, you know, her work's asking her to do the self-quarantine thing while they, you know, figure these things out. Uhm, and it was like, oh, I'll stop by, uhm, smart and final real quick, go to the grocery store, just grab some stuff. And there's a line of people out the door with grocery carts, and it's like, god, it's such a weird, like, dystopian


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Image to see and like that does something to you and like it sets a weird tone in your head where you're like, this is different. This is weird. And like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just going to a store and seeing how people are acting and like watching people like full like walk sprint around is just like put you in a weird mode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, I think that was, we were like, okay, well, we can maybe knock a lot of stuff out and then go home and then do notes on video and like, just here all day shooting. Yeah. Just all day. Uhm. Shot some funny stuff though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Yeaah. Like, the, we, we did a new, we did a video, a single cam game that you'd been wanting us to play for a while, and like, it was the three of us, that was a lot of fun. Yeaah. We had a lot of fun, uh, did a lot of, two boards, board as hells yesterday, had a lot of fun doing those, like. Yeaah. Yeaah. Sometimes you forget that you're supposed to be sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay. Stuff squirts out anyway. Half the people I know have so many sweat stains anyway, like you get all, it's just, you're like, me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it was a lot of work and obviously a lot of people worked on it and stuff but we finally got it going so I'm glad it's going well. I'm trying to get some, we have to get it partnered and so we have to get


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm upload, I'm trying to upload a clip or two a day of our back catalog and just being like, please keep watching. Cause I gotta get up. We're up to like 300 hours or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elise is always right. I've been wanting to watch it for a while and you've been holding me back. Webex? Yeah, I only want to do what Elise says because she's always right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't. There's always the, you know, we've been doing this so long, there was always a question of it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, is there a way we could do more from home? Like, you know, we, it's a YouTube channel. Why are we going into an brick and mortar office every single day? And every single time my response was always because that's the only place where things tend to work for us. And even then they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I just, I mean you think about the time that people have spent behind that single cam desk trying to run wires to figure out on the fly solutions to issues that we're having of like just even the most small insignificant things like latency or whatever and now we're here and we basically have to do it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and then every time you do that there's new variables that are introduced and it just, it just gets worse and worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we would like, cause there's a world where you just, you just say, sorry guys, hands are tied. Sorry audience, hands are tied. We can't do X, Y or Z anymore. So we're just gonna do, we're just gonna screw around and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Animal Crossing or whatever. And I know we did a stream of that earlier, but that was more for fun. That's like extra time that people are picking up. But uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, it's like, oops, sorry, too bad, but we're like, how can we still make the stuff that people want to watch that people enjoy watching the most on our channel and on Rooster Teeth and stuff like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And man, it is, it's tough. Cause like, I mean, I don't know how much you want to get into it, but even this morning we had the gameplay scheduled. Adam and I this weekend, we're testing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the ability to share, share capture and share footage so that way we can be live commenting with each other on the same time. At the same time we had everything figured it out and then we went to go, we went to go hit record and then it didn't work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Elise and I have played some Doom Eternal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something I realized today was that I haven't seen the sun in my Animal Crossing Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, maybe, yea, if it gets to that point. I just think it's funny because like, you know, yesterday was like, from, I dunno, 8.30 to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 830 to 7 or something, like we did the Jstream and then after that we were still trying to do problem solving and stuff, so like, uhm, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was our first attempt and it seemed very promising because John Smith was, John Smith was remote. Uhm, and then we had done, we did GTA after that where John Smith and Lindsay were both remote, but Adam and I were in the office and it seemed like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's stupid, but it's like, like both, uh, five and six. If you have another friend that you're playing with online or whatever, like it's fun. You get one person will just wander off and then you'll just hear them screaming. And then they come running around a corner with a bunch of zombies behind them or whatever. So I always, I always thought it was silly fun for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Massive perk. We don't, I don't know anyone that we work with or anything that's like dealing with that. So everyone appears to be healthy and employed, which is a huge thing. It's just, it's, it is really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough when you've spent, you know, seven years figuring out how to like build this workflow and make it function in this certain way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then at the, you know, in the span of maybe, I would say, generously a week, but more honestly, in terms of us having to be actionable about something, like 48 hours, we had to refill that workflow in a new way. And it's, it's really, I mean, it's in terms of Funhaus, it's very scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To think how we're supposed to make the kind of content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the capacity that we've made it and people expect it, uh, given these situations. It's really scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause whereas a recording previously would take, you know, let's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know, I think that's like maybe, maybe barely something like, like if we're factoring, cause like I, I've been like ordering things or like just kind of a process of elimination, determining the things that I wasn't allowed, I able to grab in my arms as we were like fleeing the office essentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the, that's the most frustrating part for me, uhm, is that we are still amusing each other and like, we're still, I mean, I, I, for me, I'm like, oh man, I miss seeing Omar every day, you know, like, you know, like, I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Infrastructure, I guess, if that makes sense to, to do the things we want to do. We actually had a meeting pretty long meeting yesterday where we were to everyone's spit. What are ideas we can do? How can we make content? That's funny and unique and cool from the comfort of our own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say in this situation because while we're doing all this experimenting, uhm, achievement hunters trying to figure out, like, how things work, uhm, Rooster Teeth Broadcast is, is there trying to figure out how to make these things work? And so like, there is a nice shared collective knowledge that I, I am confident we'll come up with a, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A good solution. Uhm, it's just really frustrating right now because it feels, you know, in GTA, those strips that slow you down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's like a, it's like a straightaway and it's just that. And you just keep hitting more and more slowdowns and it's really frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, all I want is for a shot, like Adam's shot to be tilted a little bit more to the door and then the door to come open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technology though, also like, not having a schedule.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would also add just like not having a schedule because like we, you know, you kind of get up and then your office is right there. So you're like, why don't I just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should just start responding to emails or like slacking people or doing something like that and but it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, and then, and then it's, it'll, you'll go through and you'll do everything the whole day. And yesterday we were going through stuff and then I realized around, around this time, which is 2, 2 45 or so, uh, I was like, Oh, I didn't have lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we had these meetings and we were trying to get things and I was like, I didn't have lunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, and then at the end of the day, we wrapped up our GTA stream and I was like, okay, that's good. And then it wasn't until like eight something that I was like, oh, dinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, like, you lose those, you lose the skeleton of your day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I mean, it all comes down to money, you know, if, if we go through the other side of this and developers see that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just dropping their game on Steam or Epic Store and then posting a trailer on YouTube or doing some sort of Nintendo direct style press conference yields either the same amount of sales or more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then there's really, I mean, ultimately the business decision is why would we spend money in those other ways to market them in those other ways if they don't make a difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I think this affects more than games. This is just marketing in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think a lot of times with marketing, you, it's hard to assess the value of what that marketing achieved. When we do like ad reads, we have codes, and so those codes are actually transferable, but that's a pretty new thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When someone puts up a billboard on the side of the road, no one has any idea if that billboard, which cost...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if that billboard gets three people to watch that show, like, is that worth it? There's no way, the worst thing is not knowing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think that, like, are we only, yeah, in terms of stuff that we have, like garbage things that we have, there's not that many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of games you've never seen us play, uhm, that are there, but there's not that many as the problem, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think more, less than us trying to go dig up old things, maybe, the more is we're just gonna have to be more accepting of trying new things. So maybe Adam and I play Dead Rising again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multi-cam gameplay is where the thing where we're like, oh yeah, that's easy. Like we can keep doing that easy. We've, we've done that before when we just for fun on our personal stuff stream together and done things like that's easy. It's just that that's not what we want the channel to become because of this. So maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elise and I have been trying to recreate rear window.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and so I'm trying to get the attention of the person across the street because I want them to murder their wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't the lion still kill the mouse? Depending on the version of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think adding on to that advice, again, don't take my advice because I'm talking, I'm talking about things I'm not good at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reading or learning something like 5 minutes and 10 minutes is nothing, but it does, if you do it every day, then it could, it adds up to something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's no way where I feel like school and stuff trains us that like classes are an hour long or like these things. Television is 30 minutes or an hour and they're teaching us these time blocks, but that's not necessarily how the human brain works. And you can still like, even if you wrote for 10 minutes a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of a week, you'd still have more than if you wrote one time for 30 minutes. You know? And so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if we as glo- globally, as a society, we're like, we're gonna take four weeks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no. We gotta go deeper. We changed ones, ones, threes, fives, sevens, and nines to evens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, uhm, I, maybe I could get a picture or something. Uhm, so, you know how when there's an emergency everyone went and got toilet paper and stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like work out of the park. There's still plenty of stuff. Body weight. Your body is very heavy. And if you've ever seen a gymnast, most of them don't go to the gym and bench press as much as they just press themselves up. So, you know, there are methods. Um, but there's certain things you, I want to be able to do is like pull myself up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That being said, I've used it twice and one of the washers on it already snapped off. It's rated up to like 400 pounds, but it already broke. So I've already had to email the people I bought it from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you put the ring through their strap and so if you have the pull up bar in there, you can just wrap the rings around it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the rings hang from the pull-up bar, and so I'll set that up in the doorway, and then I'll do pull-ups, and then I'll, I'll put my feet up on a chair, or something, and then I'll do push-ups into the rings, or you can even do dips. You can do dips, you can do rows, you can do everything. Rings are amazing. Uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where I would say to anyone that's looking to do this, if you can get your hands, the problem is Amazon orders are backing up and people have already started doing these things, but like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pull up bar that you can mount to your doorway and then something that you can pull from those. So if it's bands or whatever, I worked out this morning and you can get bands that you attach to your door frames. So like all you need to do is close the door and you loop the band through it and then you can just pull and row and press and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I s- I sat on a band at Overhead Press. I did a- I mean, I did a full body workout today. Uhm, also from years and years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, John Smith, uhm, obviously wants, he's, he was part of us discussing like content ideas and he's like, he's like, I wanna figure out how to keep making good stuff. We gotta keep making good stuff. And he said, I'm gonna send you, this is to, I think Elise and I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's independently, he said, I wanna send you a drawing and tell me if it, if you think it makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which features, it's a single cam gameplay. It looks like knockoff Rick and Morty. Uhm, it has someone who I have no idea who it is sitting up front, uh, with a tiny fishing rod or some sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing that was missing from it really was the fact that like, there's no way for you, if your face is in this monitor, how you can see what we're seeing, he didn't like solve for that. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This man, uh, my roommate in college, one of my best friends growing up, uh, we went to high school together, we went to elementary school together, um, he, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would draw these stupid ideas and he's like, I came up with an idea for how to use exercise equipment to make energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, okay. And then, and this is before I knew what to expect. And then he showed me a drawing and it was just a guy on a bench press in the midst of it getting electrocuted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based off how the first three days have gone, desperation probably will set in very soon, and so it's not so far out of the realm of possibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, now let's all wave goodbye at the same time. Goodbye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if you'd be so inclined to do that if you hadn't dubbed his voice. Like, for him it feels like he started a race and then he never reached the finish line so now he has this thing in his head where he's constantly chasing Orson Welles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's a certain thing that I've realized, cause like you saying, the redheaded stepchild of like, entertainment, like, we, like, we work together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, they're fine. Well, even if they say something, we're not going to listen. But uhm, I think it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working in YouTube, which is where we primarily work, is another thing to, it's another, it's, it's, what you described is very similar, uhm, which is that we do this thing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we walked into a television executive studio with an idea, we'd be laughed out of the room. If we walked into a movie studio's place with an idea or concept or a plan for ourselves or whatever, we'd be laughed out of the room. But that doesn't mean that people still don't envy what we do incredibly. People often describe what we do as like a dream job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's really good, uhm, I think because of the environment that we foster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it doesn't necessarily count in the same way, you know, uhm, but I think it's an interesting thing. I also think that having worked, I've only worked in the entertainment industry for like 10 years, but the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perception within is very different than the perception without. So the skill set discrepancy that you're describing, I think is invisible to most people. You know, I think, I love Charlize Theron. She thinks she's an amazing actor, but even in the trailer for Adam's family, you can like hear her voice slipping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andre, I'm sorry, I know you're flying to Tokyo tonight, but we can only book you one seat, not two seats, side by side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also think sometimes when you get someone like, like him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has such a reputation. He only thinks of himself as an individual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A human being who goes through life, who probably, if you ask him, how, you're a really great director, he goes, eeeeh. Like, like kind of everyone at this table when you compliment them, like eeeeh, I don't know. He probably is aware of his reputation, but to him, he's still an individual. So when he says something and it's his opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are like, well this must be, he's treating this as though it's gospel for the entire world of entertainment, which probably isn't what he intends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, it's a different situation. I feel like he- we're treating it as a big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To him, he's like, ah, just spouting my opinion. I also think there's a being within the world aspect of it where he's probably had meetings with some of the same people who are making the business decisions. Cause a lot of these Marvel movies are as good as I think they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are also business decisions. Like they're trying to build an ATM and then extract money from it. And that's part of the impetus. I don't know that when he was making taxi driver, he was thinking, how is this going to get me rich for the next 40 years?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I do think we are lucky with the Marvel movies specifically though that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, I just had a theory about Inspector Gadget that if it's wrong, don't tell me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's that the chief is Dr. Claw, because who would want to kill Gadget more than the person who blows him up every single episode?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he always knows where Dr. Claw is up to and what he's doing. He provides Gadget the information, but every single episode is a trap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we can go where, from there we can go wherever we want to. We can reference directors that they have no frame of reference for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have your director's list of people or whatever. You're like, oh, okay, this is a guy who's part of big things, but he's also making a cartoon for me. That's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never regretted any of that. Like, I've talked about it before, I do feel like sometimes people make things and then they, they're like, alright, we're working on this thing, now how do we make it for kids? And I don't think you ever need that step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think if you make something and then you just make it, it will find its audience. Detective Pikachu was a movie that came out which I cited as a perfect example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I was like, oh, this would have been like a really good noir story, except every, every moment it felt like they stopped and they said, well, we have to consider that children will be watching. So how do we explain this moment or the sequence to them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, one of my greatest regrets is I went to Amoeba Music shortly after I moved here. And it was when I would buy, I owned a lot of movies, I still do, but like I was like, oh I just collect movies. And they had a copy of The Wrestler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Mickey Rourke is a wrestler, uh, which I really enjoy. And I was like, oh, maybe I should buy this. It was signed, it was a Blu-ray that was signed, uh, by Mickey Rourke to some guy named David.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, oh, well, I guess I shouldn't, but then as soon as I left, I realized like, no, that's way better than if Mickey Rourke had signed something to me, like having the story of like, no, I have David's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I just know I'm saying I hope David ends up with this. No!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has there ever been a point, like, you have such a tremendous voice acting career, but has there ever been a point where you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not necessarily calling it illegitimate, but like feeling like you wish that you broke out to be doing more on-camera stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did we get on? Is there, is there someone that you've ever wanted to impersonate that you don't feel like you can confidently or just haven't really had the time to work on? Like, is there a dream impersonation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, yeaah. Cause then we get all the way to Disney. So the Rock was Maui and Moana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which also starred Jermaine Clement. Jermaine, too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's a huge cast in that, so we can rocket raccoons in all of those movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With Zachary Quinto. With Maurice LaMarche. And Zachary Quinto was with Chris Pine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Star Trek, and Chris Pine does an impression of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By episode two, they still didn't know what they were doing. They had no plan for that show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks, Kenneth. I hope you're enjoying some of the dancing we're seeing here tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think doing it the cheesy- The conspiracy theory way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna go on record and say these are not conspiracy theories, they are facts. Conspiracy facts. This is the truth!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's little ale, apostrophe, i-n-n, like an in. It's like a copyright thing. Yeah. No, you don't understand. Okay, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's also a bar I think down the street that got a number of phone calls telling people they're coming to that bar on September 20th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about this, tweet me on September 20th with pictures of you at the little alien.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And drinking a drink because I know you're gonna be out there. But you're not going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to, I would actually like to as a Funhaus correspondent. Uuuh. I know. Oh, now we're talking. I actually thought about that. I was like, I would like to go out there and just see what happens. Funhaus news. We cover the things no one should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] F117 was the one that they were doing, cause they were doing research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think it was the YouTube, the YouTube was, well I was a genius. The YouTube bomber or whatever it was, was shaped kind of like a UFO because it needed so much fuel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was shaped like circular or whatever it was, uh, because it needed a ton of fuel to fly and so then pilots that were flying at like 40,000 feet would see it above them going by way faster and that's impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elise, I have questions for all of you today. Alright? I want you to tell me, have you guys ever heard of Janet Airlines?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Janet Airlines is, nobody knows what it stands for. It's J-A-N-E-N-A-T. It's all in caps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's an airline that flies out of McCarran, which is the Las Vegas International Airport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flies onto McCarran, and it flies to Groom Lake, or Area 51.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's a, uh, that's basically an Air Force base where they're doing a lot of testing and they have a runway there. There are 14 flights a day. Through Janet Airlines. Fly from McCarran to Area 51. To Passenger? And back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't, they're just basically old planes that they've been using and they have basically shuttle flights that fly 25 minutes and they fly, it's like something between like 4am, I think it's 4am to 4am every day. They have 14 flights, or it's 13 flights there to Groom Lake Area 51, 14 flights back. What's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's unmarked, so here's the thing. No one knows who gets on it, no one knows who's flying it, and they're all unmarked planes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's basically what they're, from McCarran, they don't say what those airlines are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are no passenger manifests. And this is all out of LAX? No, this is in McCarran. Okay. Yeah, flies out of McCarran, so like, whoever flies there flies out of McCarran to Groom Lake and then back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know, that's a good question. The truth is out there. Stop it! Omar! Show the, show the airplanes!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How dare you. So these are the airplanes. These are pretty well documented. Again, they have to be documented in the sense that they know where they're flying to and from the McCarran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the flight number right there. Oh yea. You know, that's photoshopped. That's just the, that's just the marking of the plane. But you don't know who's in it. Look in those windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, is that not an end to it? Uhm, at least I have more. Tell us! If you, I was gonna say, I can talk, or you can continue. No, I love this stuff. Okay, alright, alright. So here, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have looked up, there is a man named Bob Laser. And he's a very famous man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who back in, uh, 1989 did an interview proclaiming that he had worked at Area 51 and worked on alien technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then everyone's like, holy shit, Area 51 is real, a bunch of memers listened to Joe Rogan and then started the meme. Uhm, what's his last name? Laser. L-A-Z-A-R.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have I got a connection for you. Bob Laser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, I'll recount his story because his story is relatively interesting. But he went to Pierce College, which is here in the, there he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just realized my dad lives in Las Vegas. Yeah. He lives really close to area 51. Yeah. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevada? You're really 51? Right now Bob Lazar lives in Coral Gables, Florida. Regardless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he used, he worked at Area 51. Uh, or he said he did. Worked at Area 51 in 1989, did an interview saying, uh, here, hold on, let me read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he said, he worked on, claims the propulsion of the studied vehicle was fueled by atomic element 115. So he worked on the propulsion of an alien spacecraft that was fueled by atomic element 115, which did not exist!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Muscovian was first synthesized in 2003.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what I'm saying though. In 2003, they reverse engineered that Moscovia. Do you see what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or they worked on it and created it. They reverse engineered it because they had the alien technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Bob Lazer knew what it was, Element 115, long before Muscovy never existed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He then did, he like, he brought this to national attention in 1989, uh, and then immediately, in 1990,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he was ordered to do 150 hours of community service, stay away from brothels, and undergo psychotherapy. Do you think that maybe the government had framed him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here's another interesting thing. During trial and under oath, Bob Laser again claimed degrees from MIT and Caltech. He claimed that he went to those colleges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My degree is Adam. What if the government went to my house and took it? He claimed degrees from MIT and Caltech. I don't know that he showed pictures of it. Regardless. Got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very same government. I'm with Bruce on this one. The ones that scrubbed Bob Laser from MIT and Caltech. But he's still alive. He is still alive. Okay. That's true. He lives in Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, uh, internet sleuth found him immediately. I literally found him on Wikipedia. Oh boy. Also, Bob Lazer runs the Desert Blast Festival, which is basically a festival for a bunch of pyrotechnics enthusiasts. It's a brothel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either way, it's a really cool festival that he runs that a bunch of people go out to the desert and explode stuff. Uhm, they do. And it sounds really fun and I was thinking about trying to attend Desert Blast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Funhouse correspondent for Desert Blast and also the September 20th raid on Area 51.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the most realistic right here, this Wikipedia. Bob Lazar worked on one of nine flying saucers. Nine!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess a lot of people, uh, said that according to the moon landing, it may have been faked at Area 51 because they saw a lot of like lunar rovers and stuff go in and out of Area 51.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, of course I am. These conduct the right frequencies for me to figure out who's on the A list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gemini man. He's also, he's also on YouTube. Which I think kind of- But that's a choice. Dwayne the Rock Johnson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A-list. Everybody knows who Taylor Swift is. Uh, Regis Philbin, no way. Billie Eilish. No. No. She's not A-list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's the biggest pop star in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jackie Chan is an interesting choice, and I would say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Taylor Swift is a good example. She's not had a very long career. It's pretty long. But another important A-list celebrity is Kylie Jenner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. It's in the same movie. No, not A-list. Okay. And I can't tell you- Natalie Portman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a great show. Kermit the Frog. They're not. Uhm, Kermit the Frog is A-list. Everyone knows who Kermit the Frog is. Miss Piggy, same deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who she is. Who is she? She's Steven Baldwin's daughter. That too, but it doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty obvious. He's a nerd culture, he's like- Yeah, I agree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tiny little village in India. It's at Jimmy Fallon. Would they know Jimmy Fallon? I don't think they would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. I don't- Right now, he might be- He's hot. Henry Callow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She, I would say Henry Cavill is also a- I agree with this list. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that they know, I think people know their names and know their faces. So if you, if they can go like you go Tom Cruise, like you basically show them a lineup of pictures, no names and you go Tom Cruise and they point at the picture. That's, that's how you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess that's the point. The A-List is not that. The A-List is none, no circles. The A-List is, it doesn't matter what circle you run in, you know who they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir Michael. Another good example is Christian Bale. Everybody knows Christian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zoe Saldana is closer to the A-list. Chris Pratt? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say, I'd say Liam Neeson is probably A-list. I don't want to say it, but I will. And then also, uh, Keanu Reeves is definitely A-list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J.K. Rowling is like the biggest author since God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's not even the movies, it's everything. It's everything. Everything that's come out. The interesting thing about her is that people, I don't know that they know her face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we're gonna go through them. Jennifer Aniston, yes. David Schwimmer. Matthew LeBlanc. Matt LeBlanc, no. David Schwimmer, no. Matthew Perry. Matthew Perry, no. Lisa Kudrow, no. Courtney Cox, maybe, but not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul Rudd. Ooh, that's a good one. Paul Rudd. Do we know his, does everybody know his name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, Ryan Reynolds would be closer to A-list than Black Lives Matter would be. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People know, I think most people know who Martin Scorsese is, but I don't know that. Oh, it was Sardar! No. No, Omar. Robert Sardar is not on the A-list. Orson Welles. No. Okay. Tool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kind of doesn't matter, like, it's like Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson's still around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if that's safe to say that Jason Alexander is also A-list. He was in Dunston Checks In. I don't think, cause people don't know his name, right? They know he's George. Well they know, they know Duckman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, yeaah. I mean, it doesn't matter how you're famous. It's just, if you're in the, if you're in the public eye, then like all the time. Name another Roseanne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rasputin. I could do this literally all day. I love this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, but that's the problem though, is that if he's not in the US, again, it's global, so if not everybody knows him, then I don't think it counts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's tenth, tenth most followed. Doesn't matter. Instagram's not the only, uh, metric here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, and I'll give them my verdict. You'll tell them if they're A-list or not? I'll tell them either A-list or no. Great. And most of them are gonna be no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This week on D2C we're talking about all the Death Stranding info and trailers coming to TGS and Nintendo's new fitness initiative for the Switch, the Ring-Con, and Ring-Con Adventures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if we get to it in time, a racehorse was cheating on racehorse steroids? I don't know. We might talk about it today on Dude Soup. I get it.

[Assistant] I was trying to find his message right now because he did, he did tell me to, you know, something to say to you. He's like, the next time you, cause I said that I know you, you made it and he was very complimentary. I did not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use those spicy memes. Uh, and we're also, we're talking about Death Stranding today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, TGS just happened, and two things of distinction happened from Death Stranding. One being a briefing trailer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll, uh, Polygon had a really good little summary about what happens in this briefing trailer. Uhm, Amelie, played by Lindsay Wagner, is the presumed leader of the United States. She's in conference with the game's central figure Sam, as played by Norman Reedus, as well as Die Hard Man, Tommy Earl Jones, uh, we all know as Die Hard Man, in the mask, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes sir. Yeah, has anything come out yet explaining why he wears the mask?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess like restaurants don't really, like these chains, they're not, it's not their focus, so they don't really understand how easy it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, putting Lindsay Wagner in your game, I feel like... Who's she? The woman from the Oval Office scene. What is she from? Well, she was a big actress in, I think the 70s or 80s. Like she's, you know, she's older now, she's de-aged. For the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she was the bionic woman in the TV series. She's 70. Yeah, so he...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's de-aging her in the game, which I'm like, I'm kind of wondering how that comes into play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prepare for your missions in these, you know, loading screens and stuff. Not loading screens, but like your loadout screens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, about, you know, you're like sitting on a bridge and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're about 15 minutes into this demo if you wanna, uh, skip ahead Omar. There's a part where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this guy has a cool motorbike and whatever, but.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if Kojima's pussing out, at least Nintendo's making real games for real gamers. That's why, uh, they recently announced, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two, two things that work in tandem. They debuted their exercise-driven RPG for Switch, the Ring Fit Adventure, which to play,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's weird cause it's like, I honestly didn't think that they would foray back into fitness gaming with Switch. Like I thought that, you know, they did that with Wii and that's kind of like how it was. But I guess they're like, they're back into it. I mean, it makes sense since Wii Fit, you know, is outrageously popular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeaah, so this one they've actually, it's not a direct exercise game that they've made for it. They've made an RPG that tricks you into exercising.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so basically, you know, Ring Fit Adventure, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Omar, would you mind just going back to 48, uh, yeaah, 48 seconds into the trailer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can go back to 350, but I just, uh, there's a moment I love at 48, 48 seconds. We just missed that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder, I wonder if my time was wrong. There's just a moment that happens, uh, with this dude that I, it cracked me up, and I was hoping someone could gif it for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be at a minute forty-eight maybe. I dunno man, I think what's great about that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet though that when you're playing, uh, with your ring con controllers, uh, you probably get a little bit musty. You get a little bit sweaty, maybe a little, not smelling so fresh, and that's where our sponsor FLIRT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me guess. Every morning you wake up, throw on some clothes and hit yourself with the last minute spritz of your favorite scent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you probably don't do is check to see what the heck you're actually spraying yourself with.
