[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. One for Xbox? 360, yeah. Yeah. Remember they made this into a movie and Eric Roberts is in that movie. That movie is phenomenal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm interacting with this bottle right now. I mean, this isn't, I'm just saying like, it's a, it's a piece of visual entertainment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got ups on that bottle. You don't want that bottle. You don't want that bottle. You haven't earned it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I like, uh, what's her face? Her. Ooh! Is it me? Oh, yeah. He's also in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're also doing a video series with them. So we shot the first episode there. And I don't think we were kind of, uh, I don't, should I talk or not talking? Oh yeah, no, no. I was saying it was actually kind of cool. Like I know we're, we're doing a part of like an ad deal, but like it was really kind of fascinating to be involved with the development process and like kind of early on and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm actually really kind of excited to see the game because they are, they're going to take our feedback, which is kind of cool. They're basically, they're like, yeah, be brutal. Like tell us, tell us what's wrong. Tell us what's going on. Like just to be involved. It's a strange thing to go from being a fan of video games, actually be involved with any sort of level of game development. Uhm, it's crazy. So yeah, I was, I'm excited to go back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna bring that up next time. It was actually funny because yea, he was explaining to us like why, like the reason why for a developer why DirectX 12 was like a legit deal. And he was talking about how like it cut down on like memory. The draw calls. Yea, and it was just like, that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, I know, I know back in the day, I can't, I think pre-Totillo days, I do remember the doc who would just ban anyone who said anything negative, like, we don't want you here. And it's like, well, I mean, it's more about asking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the reaction was getting blacklisted by, he says something like, we don't get, we don't get things anymore. Yeaah. But they also have openly said Kotaku, and this may have been Crescent Day, I believe, who started this, but he was saying like, they're like, we don't go to preview events, or like, we don't go to review events, like, we don't take, it was this weird sort of thing of like, we don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, I thought they all kinda become the same thing at some point, where it's like, we refuse to, uh, get flown out to an event because Capcom did a thing in Hawaii, and that goes against ethics, and it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, but like, like, marketing companies and game publishers know what they're doing and at the end of the day, they were saying, they're like, we don't like it. And I was like, okay, cool. So you don't play that game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's strange to act surprised when they're like, Bethesda didn't like that we leaked their stuff so they didn't send us a free copy of a game. Like, alright, well then just play it like everyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, we've also seen this shift where, we brought this up before, but like, we used to go to these events, and you'd look over and go, oh, official Xbox Magazine, Kotaku, Destructoid, and then it started becoming,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Angry Joe, T Martin, like, uh, CNNers, like, it started just becoming YouTubers. And you go to any event now, like, or it was like a mix, and now you go, it's just YouTubers, and like, we get invited to this sort of stuff, and like, we're kind of this weird, we've been told by industry people, like, we're somewhere in the middle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of stuff that we just don't get invited to, for obvious reasons, because like, they don't know what the hell we are. And like, that's fine, because we have a show, I mean, I'm playing with a demo dishyard, like, this is where we get our views, you know, like, we don't need the newest, greatest games, our business doesn't rely on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, or anything like, I think there's like, oh I can't say, nevermind, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well this goes back to like what James was saying about the Model T. It's like, failing to see a paradigm shift, and any kind of shift in the world, and not adopt- adapting or adopting to that paradigm, uh, basically means you will die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interested in this thing, like, not even, like, it barely fills a sports arena. Like, the amount of people who, like, actually give a shit about this. Because, like, you really, like, you break it down, you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just look at the bigger picture. Like James is saying, like, just look at the mirror and go, do I care?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think so. Well, because game publishers are getting more picky, and there's, like, systems are like, uh, things that exist, like, uh, RONKU, where it's like, you're on the, you're basically on the EA payroll to say nice things about EA games. And, like, people have chosen to do that, but at the same time, too, like, I am not going to a website to see if Fallout is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As much, I love, like, I literally, I do love video games. I think video games, like, it's one thing that, like, someone asked on the subreddit recently, they were like, like, what do you guys do when, like, games aren't fun anymore? I'm like, god forbid that day ever happens. Like, I legitimately enjoy,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting away from our day to day and just like, just playing something like playing Overwatch and not having to be recorded and just be able to like have fun. It is an escape for me. I enjoy it more than movies, I enjoy it more than books, I enjoy it more than any other medium in the world. So I never want it to not be fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wonder if other people, other enthusiasts have the same sort of feeling with like, all I think about is golf and fishing. Those are my biggest hobbies. And like, did you see what this writer said? Like, uh, sports pro blacklisted them because they said something bad about their, their latest driver. And I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard, that's a hard comparison, well, maybe it's closer, because sports to me, in my, what I've seen, I'm not a huge sports fan, but like, that seems to be more universally loved, just because of things like soccer or football, wrestling around the world, or American football, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is, that is, there is like, that is loved by so many people and has existed for thousands of years in some sort of form. Like, whereas video games are fairly new, and to me has always been kind of a niche thing. And, but it is, seems to be like, I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, but I'm saying like people get shot in the parking lot because someone disagreed with somebody. Like, I'm just saying, fuck you. You have been to Dodger Stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's like in the, the YouTube certification thing, one of the things they ask is one of the dumbest, like easy questions, but they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, is the point of making a video to go viral? Like, absolutely not. Like, no, you shouldn't aim to go viral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, just look at what the audience wants. Look at the landscape. What's happening? People are reading less and they're watching more videos. YouTube's only getting bigger and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G4 happened at this perfect moment where it could only go wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, they were like, little pumpkin heads. Well, it was, it's pretty cute. Uhm, it was, it was right before, like, internet video became a thing, and some guy said, you know what needs to be on TV? Video games. And it was like, you couldn't be further from the truth, but he couldn't see that coming, because of how big YouTube and gaming and all that stuff like basically became. But like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck, what a bad business move. Like, people who play video games do not watch television. Especially on a weird channel that they don't get. Like, it just kept cutting it down. Like, you gotta look where are the people at and what do people want? They want this podcast to be over, because we hit an hour. Possibly, maybe. I don't know. It's like, look, the mattress salesman will always have something to sell because everyone needs to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we worked through a lot of issues today. I think so. I feel good. I need to sleep better. Assassin's Creed is done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the stubble entendres are going way over my head. Uh, so Matt, thank you for joining us today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? I was like, oh no! I had to like stick it back on and luckily the door was able to open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he actually contacted us, he was very polite. We had a conversation about how we represented his story, so we have a few, few corrections to make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, like, it satisfied him, the level of corroboration he got for those stories, so he was comfortable reporting it. It sounded to me like he had two sources, only one of which was giving him all the information. Uh, he did not reveal specifics about the level of corroboration, nor does he need to. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My understanding of it was that that information was coming from one anonymous source, which in the eyes of Konami could have been seen as slanderous statement because that person could have just been making it up to specifically harm Konami. Uh, that's what I meant. I wasn't accusing SuperPonyHop of knowingly perpetrating slander.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and, uh, I also want to, you know, make another point of saying he actually did a great amount of due diligence in pointing out that all that information was highly suspect and probably not believable. So, uh, I think he definitely did his job. Uh, alright, so moving on from there, uh, Matt, you do a lot of Rooster Teeth stuff, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was four. Quest for Peace. Wait. Radioactive Man. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And maybe some, maybe they've gotten mad at other things since then, but everybody seems to really chill on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted to kind of pass that around and see what you guys thought since, you know, we're in- We got a lot of shit, uh, for saying Destiny was fun when it came out. How dare we.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, as far as I can tell, it was kind of their goodwill piece. They wanted to promise everyone that they were still bungee and they were still cool and they could still turn their hats around and rap. And at the end of it, there's this like basically five minute


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I had grown up playing Halo, which actually didn't, you know, I was more of a PC gamer, uhm, but had I grown up playing Halo and had this incredible association with Bungie,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then watched, you know, stuff like that, and was just so amped up. And then what I got was essentially a pared down MMO shooter, I would have probably been a little pissed off too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your take on the internet? The anger, do you think it's just a hype thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, uh, but you would, you would think if you were the type of person who just picks up Destiny and you're like, not my thing. I'm gonna go play something else. I don't know, the, the, the con-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You maxed out two classes, or a class and a subclass. Yeaah. Which is essentially the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, so, uh, you must be familiar with Expectation Management, given your position at Rooster Teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, but, but, I mean, Rooster Teeth is biting off bigger, bigger projects now, like Lazer Team and things like that. Has that changed the way the company has to manage expectation or interface with their audience at all? Or does your simple approach of, it's gonna suck, please don't look forward to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, Bollywood's great. Everybody go watch, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which is one of the rare times I'll ever say that. Sorry, Toycon. Uhm, but essentially it's a, it's a... Sorry, not sorry. It's a huge, it was a really interesting and very analytical article about the realities of Kickstarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, given that you guys have a shitload of cash from crowdfunding, maybe that would be interesting and related, uh, I guess we appropriate terms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Cash has been turned into laser. We got nothing in the bank. Skin tight suits in the lasers. Uh, so there's uh, Golden Glitch is a indie dev studio and the team lead, Katie. Oh boy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyrannis? Kyrannis, I think you're right, yea. Basically wrote up this whole thing saying how you're basically getting lied to with pretty much every major Kickstarter project. Uh, she basically lays out- Badda?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you elaborate? Sure. I'm glad you asked. Uh, essentially, she just basically says that like, these figures that you're seeing for game dev, 300, 400, 500,000 are absurd. No game will ever be made for that. The smallest budget you'll ever really make a game for realistically is about 2.5 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's saying that as a flat figure, so that includes salary. Uh, she says the figure above factors in the unseen extras that go into game development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rent, equipment, electricity, food and water, taxes, art tables, software licenses, healthcare, dev kits, outsourcing, interviewing, paying actor and agent fees for voiceover work, and just, shh, just crazy amounts of other, like- Paying agents? Uh, agents. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you did. You're the racist. No, it's you. Uh, so the, uh, she goes on to compare average budgets to basically what projects actually cost and draw some pretty interesting conclusions. Uh, so Yooka Laylee is, uh, you know, another runaway Kickstarter success. Right. But it started with a budget of $270,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there are, there are a few, there are a few theories and every situation is different, but one is that they already have funding and they're using this as either publicity or just a stopgap to fill whatever holes they have. Or, they're using this to start and then hope that they can find funding after the fact. And then if they can,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she says that basically by doing this, people start to think that you can make a game like that on a half million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whenever you come to them with a realistic budget, you say, I need 1.5 million dollars to make this tiny ass game. People won't fund it, because they think they know what a game costs. They don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, basically, there were a couple of devs, this was in Kickstarter, it was really blowing up, and everybody was rushing to it. And there were a couple of studios that had some successful games out, but they were still kickstarting their next title. So I wrote to them and talked to them, I was like, why are you doing this, you should have money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half those sales are from Steam sales. We got like a quarter from the proceeds. The publisher took all of it. Uhm, the publisher owns the IP, so we can't take the IP to Kickstarter or anywhere else. Uh, so, the trap, such as it is, is essentially like, you go to a publisher and you say, I want to make this game. The publisher says, okay, great. It's ours. We'll pay for you to make it, but it's ours. We get to keep all the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if you say yes, then you make your game, they keep all the money, and you're exactly where you were three years later. Except that you made a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but, uh, the way that sales work and the way that people treat new IP, odds are very low that you're going to break even on your first title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the, the way he was describing it is the Kickstarter formula lets them break out of that cycle where they are allowed to get all their money up front with basically no strings attached aside from, uh, putting your career on the line, your repu- How do I kickstart this? Your reputation, the wobbly door, uh- I'll take two, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Uh, it's a new model and, you know, those things are bound to happen. Uh, I think by now, at least, everybody's well aware that when you back something on Kickstarter, it could go up in smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And oddly, it's strange, man. People are way more willing to pay $15 for something that may never exist than $15 for something that is here right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, before iTunes. How does this relate to LendBiscuit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm sure it does in some way. Maybe more like Metallica, but uhm, prior to iTunes, labels had a function. They were there to, you know, get you in the studio, pay all those fees, kinda take care of all the monetary aspects of it, get you publicity, get you a producer. Fred Durst. Yes, they'd throw Fred Durst at everything and everyone was happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but now that iTunes is out, it's like, you know, Adam Young, Al City can sit in his room with Fruity Loops and make a song and put it on MySpace and he's done. Like, he doesn't need anyone anymore. Uh, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that developers can go direct to game players, ask them for money, and then give them the product directly, I wonder, you know, are publishers going to really be all that important?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know there's a lot of crap out there, but... You could just, like imagine there was a Spotify, but you say, I just want to play old 8-bit style platforming games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always liked about Rooster Teeth is that, uh, before it was fashionable or even possible to go direct to viewer for funding or support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, Rooster Teeth invented all those tools themselves for, you know, sponsorships and things like that. Pre YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea. Anyways, so final verdict. Kickstarter, good or bad? Uh, neither. Okay. Sorry guys, we live in a world of gray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm curious. We'll hug it out later. Why is the movie industry so transparent when it comes to revenues and budget? They're all public companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well like, Nintendo definitely is, Sony definitely is. You would think their first party stuff would have that kind of information transparent, but obviously they're not compelled to legally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They know, so, and if they can share that information selectively to whomever benefits them and that's not the entire world, why would you give that away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess that predicates another interesting topic since we can talk about it on behalf of ourselves. When it comes to content creation, where would you, and I guess maybe it's Bruce and Matt, Bruce and Matt question, would you rather funding came direct from the viewer or subsidize the sponsorship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so Microsoft oddly has been blanketing a lot of, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm gonna see all the, you know, original Mad Nights. So it's weird because the original three movies...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite all being called Mad Max, I personally felt we're a little tonally divergent. Uh, first, yeaah, I felt like the first one, it's obvious there was a vision there, but the production and even maybe the expertise of production wasn't quite up to snuff to really sell it. World Warrior, pitch perfect at least for me. Beyond Thunderdome was just, it was the late 80s, it was weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Showgirls. Showgirls, yea. That's Paul Verhoeven. Paul Verhoeven, yea. So, it's, but, uh, I guess the highest compliment that I can give, and James and I have kind of shared the sentiment is, to me at least, Fury Road feels like Road Warrior, but like you put... Do you have myopia? Like is your vision totally fine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there are female characters in there and they do play a major part in the plot, but I wouldn't say the movie bends to make that necessarily a point. It makes sense because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the movie opens with, like, this, this near, like, tribe, like, uh, primal tribe. The, the people who basically worship steering wheels and have all these weird little nuances to their culture that you pick up on as you're watching the movie. But it's almost entirely men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's not, it not, it makes sense. Like, no part of it, at least when I was watching it, no part of it was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Why did they make that happen? Like, the entire time I was watching it, nothing stood out to me as they bent it to make it this way on purpose. No, but I think, I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the game, the game is, you, you go there, you think it's a horror game, you think it's, I don't want to spoil it, this game that came out five years ago. But, it's a bait and switch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And especially with multiplayer, like a lot of websites holding back their Halo multiplayer, holding back their Metal Gear multiplayer, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The driving in Rage was pretty boring. Uh, first person shooting was actually kinda fun, but the driving in Rage was boring, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to the point. That's what I'm saying. Which is, well, and so, I mean, we're hoping that that carries over to the video game. Yeaah, uhm. Looks like it is. I don't know if, well, honestly, like, correct me if I'm wrong, one of the first trailers for GTA V was not a story trailer? Or was it a story trailer? Cause like, I remember seeing trailers for GTA V where they were like, you can, you know, do parachutes and you can go fly a vehicle. I'm, it's like, I don't know if they started with story


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So hopefully that's the way Mad Max is going. Like, I mean, like again, if that's any indication, which of course GTA V is in sort of a league of its own, but maybe Mad Max is similar? I don't know. I would say so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's what I'm saying, Witcher didn't do that. So I'm, they didn't. There are screen check comparisons with the trailer and the gameplay that I can send to you. I think the one where the dude is touching the ground and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't have, they can't buy all these games throughout the whole year, so they have to sort of get excited about the ones that they want to get excited about. So maybe Witcher 3 is the one big one they want to get excited about. They get all hyped for six months and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about Alien Resurrection, guys? People cared about Alien Res- Alien Res- That was the fourth. That was the fourth one, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's funny because that's, for me, that's a disadvantage because I liked the story, I just couldn't get through three episodes of Walking Dead because I was bored out of my fucking skull. Because you're basically watching a story unfold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have a funny story about the trailer. When we first got announced, or I think it leaked, Lawrence and I were the only ones in the office and we both watched the trailer and both of us were kind of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no, I had no fucking clue what to do. Like they were like, yea there's these notes scrolling down and they handed me the guitar and they like, they're just like, just strum and I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He never makes sequels to his movies because he likes the stories. He likes Inception. I'm only gonna do one Inception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The interesting thing about story generally in media is the fact that you're supposed to relate to the characters that are in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or not relate. And figure out kind of where they went wrong, where they went right. In movies or television or whatever. Like you said in games, it's kind of the opposite. It's you then get to make the choices. You get to decide if you're right or wrong or bad or good or whatever. And I think that's an entirely different art form.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, for some reason now, we're cherishing these stories that they're- I mean like, these kids have thousands of television shows to watch on Netflix, that are really fucking good, like Bloodline for example, is an amazing television show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Novel, but they're not they are not television. They're not they're not like they're not the best the biggest form of movies or television


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Destiny came out and obviously there's a huge marketing push and whether or not Bungie should have been responsible for delivering the game that everyone built up in their heads and they didn't necessarily promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think it's, I think it's gonna be reactionary because you can say whatever you want to publicly, however you want to, basically anonymously. So like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you didn't play Destiny, you can get in on the conversation and talk about how much you hated Destiny when it came out. Uhm, so, I don't know, I think the internet's always gonna be loud, especially about things that they don't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, we don't know if that's the movie, but there is a, there is a clip of a Bollywood film of this guy, he's a robot, but he's, they basically just cast some middle-aged dude to be the robot, but he's super cool and he's got shades on and there's a hundred of them and he turns into a giant ball. Yeah, he's Arnold Schwarzenegger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but she's factoring in voiceover costs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To divert our whatever operating costs so that way we can't create this other product. Not, this is the amount of money we need to fill our garage with the things and hire rando people in to do what- to make our dream game, right? Like that's what it seems like to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's saying that like, it's kind of a quiet little secret in the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That these games don't actually cost this much. There's funding and then like you said, there's, there's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Kickstarter campaign to raise awareness and also maybe some extra funding by making it seem like it's attainable for anyone, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also seems though like her big problem is like, you can't trust these crowdfunding numbers. And then she goes, give me crowdfunding so I can make my game. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she's complaining about how crowdfunding is spoiling it for her when she's trying to crowdfund. But it's like, if it's not a good thing, maybe you shouldn't be entrenched in all that. Maybe you should find a different, more reliable way to make the thing you wanna make. Maybe get a publisher like it used to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only difference I see, which could change over time, is that games are getting more and more and more expensive to produce. Whereas...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas music is getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper to produce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like tens of millions of people watched a show on television, so that way ad companies go, ooh, we wanna get in on that, right? But Netflix doesn't have that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's paid for by people's memberships basically, you know? So, so I guess it just goes back to what does it benefit them? It doesn't at all, right? And also, they're in a completely different realm because, like, television does have the benefit of saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This many people watched it at this time when we showed it then, right? Like, which is why everyone was so frustrated when TiVo screwed all that up. Netflix is like, well, like, like a million people watched it over the course of three weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the company actually producing? Like, has Netflix bought?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that- how much of that kind of m- that integration goes to Netflix?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another thought is that Netflix licenses a lot of that content, and so if they can go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was reading about this, uh, one of the reviews I read was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Fury Road, there's like a religion where people are like praying to steering wheels. So it's like, we've taken this concept and then we've bloomed it up into Road Warrior, and now we've bloomed it up again into Fury Road, even though the movie itself is a smaller, more focused thing. Like, it's not just like adding in more plot, which is what I liked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They develop the world more by showing you less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A group of women, right? But it isn't necessarily a, a women, a woman thing. Like, it's weird, and it's not like he's pushed to the side in favor of them being pushed ahead. It's like, he just happens to be present for this event that's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I thought it was really good. I think the best thing it does is it's, it is very much pure action. Like it is, it really doesn't give you many moments to stop and recover. A couple times it does, but it's generally along with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect integration. Yeah, yeah. Uhm, but both are attempting to be action-oriented films, but while chaos was happening in Ninja Turtles, I felt nothing. And while chaos was happening in Fury Road, I was really viscerally, like, like involved and invested in what was going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Johnny Knoxville. Shredder's in it. Johnny Knoxville's in it. Megan Fox. And, um, Will Arnett. And Alan Rickman. Oh yeah, Will Arnett. Oh boy, I forgot about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you order, you order, you know, some sort of really elaborate dish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, hold on, so that's the difference between whether or not you want to be perceived as an asshole, or perceived as a creator. And what's funny about that is that, remember the guy that did Flappy Bird? Remember, he was like, he was making half a million dollars a day, and he quit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like, he was like, I'm done with it, I made enough money and I'm done. And it was one of those things where the pressure got to him too much. It was like, same with Chappelle. Uh, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that guy who's like, I'm in enough money, I'm out. There's the guy that's like, you know what, do whatever you want. I mean, that sounds like the Witcher devs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't know. I'm not, I'm not sure. I'm not saying that I'm siding with anybody. I'm just sort of figuring out how each could be perceived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be like watching Seinfeld or It's Always Sunny and being like, these people are crappy, I don't like them. They're a bad moral compass for me. Like, well, there's so many bad things on television. Of course, of course. Why would you ever, you know, like, that's up to you to decide. If the game makes you come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice, nice drift. Thank you. Well, I mean, I guess now I have another aside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, uh, I was just thinking about this the other night, cause I was, I was the most excited I've ever been about any movie for Star Wars Episode 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was so excited for, and this never happens to me, and maybe it's because I was younger, but I was so excited for this movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was one of those things that I just, I haven't really walked out of a movie like that ever since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, so now I'm, now I'm just, now I'm afraid, now I'm, I'm worried, I'm worried about the whole- Adults only.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this, this, this sex niner movie in my opinion is the defining movie for his career and the reason I say that is because he started really strong with 300 and Watchmen. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you have to show a lot of depth, and that's what I'm- I'm still waiting for that. Like, Man of Steel, I was convinced was going to be, like, the best movie of the entire year, and I was so bummed out by it because I saw it a lot. I saw that movie a ton because I kept looking for more and more to give to me from that movie, and I couldn't find it. Really? Maybe it's because of Superman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We want to make sure that whatever we do post that we're, we're interested in that, but also that it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a lot more willing to stand behind it, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are movies that I saw a bunch of times that are real, like Man of Steel, I saw four times in theaters. Wow. And the more that I saw it, the more I didn't like it. The more I was just, I just couldn't, I couldn't, cause the plot points became a little more glaring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Avengers, the second time I saw it, and I'm looking forward to seeing it a third time, the second time I saw it, it was a better film, and I was able to be excited about the fight scenes that were coming up, like the whole Iron Man scene, which in my opinion is the best fight scene in the whole movie. Oh yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also, all of it should be prefaced with, I'm a Joss Whedon fan and have been for a very long time. So if you don't like Joss Whedon writing, you probably won't like this film. I don't like Joss Whedon writing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Yeah, no, I totally, I think James Spader, in my opinion, like, when I first heard him talk, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm with Lawrence, though, I mean, like, I go to those movies not expecting the Dark Knight, I shouldn't. You know, like, for me, eventually, once I saw, once I saw the Dark Knight, and then I saw other movies after that, like, other Marvel movies, I was like, okay, well, I get it, I think Marvel's this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and he does say yes, like, I'd rather be a part of something beautiful that goes away than not at all. So, that's what he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say that ends up usually being the bigger problem is YouTube has the stance that you're guilty until proven innocent. Yeah, we've heard they're changing that because of the whole content ID. Uh, kerfuffle that we dealt with and actually we were never ever hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but uhm, so far, right now, there's Content ID, but then there's also, there's just easy ways to issue takedowns, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] YouTube always just throws their hands in the air and says, sorry, you know, so it's like bigger problem is usually with YouTube and kind of the power they give to anybody. Other companies, right? Yeah, or not sometimes individuals like 16 year olds who want to just take your video down because they don't like you or they don't like what you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that was about a year ago, I think, but it also, it's, a lot of people just assume that it's a lawyer just doing their job. And so there's just some guy being like, I needed, I needed proof that I'm worth my retainer. And so they'll go issue a takedown. So it might, I doubt there's someone at the top of Konami being like, what did Super Bunny Hop say? Cause he's more like, who is Super Bunny Hop?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so it is some lawyer probably just literally typing in, you know, Kojima bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's two sides to every story. It's easy to say the giant evil corporation is evil. It's usually the giant evil corporation doesn't understand what it's doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, usually it just comes to, it's not so much that it's just being evil, it's just almost incompetence. Or just a lack of understanding of what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where it gets into a weird territory, where a lot of people yell, there needs to be better, uh, what's it called, you know, ethics and game journalism, this sort of stuff, but then, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are higher standards they have to be held to, like, when you start saying, I like, I, yea, I'm not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I'm not privy to all the information that happened in this, like, maybe there was an actual source and all that sort of stuff, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically saying we're the bigger guy and you're the smaller guy and if you're willing to fight it for the right reasons then you should do it. Uhm, but I don't know if he's going to. Good job. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so there, there is a chance that there is a forum post, and there is something, and there are lawyers saying like, take that down, and the forum's like, sorry, I didn't, yeah, yeah, what? Who are you? I'm, we're based in Sweden, go fuck yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's sort of like, well yea, create content for my bias. Like, I want to be told I'm right. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it is fair to say that Konami may have overreacted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Hearst would have like jizzed himself if he could see the sort of numbers we see, where like, like we could see demographics who are watching your stuff, holy shit. Like, we know what to produce for, we know what our audience likes, like we know if a story doesn't do well on Witcher, we probably won't cover Witcher that often. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a, I don't know. I forgot where I was going with that. Now I'm gonna go kart, sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and so like, like no one's, no one's at risk talking about that sort of stuff. So that's why like I really like doing that sort of news. And I love speculating because I, I, I mean like I, my big thing in high school and college was history. I love history and the importance of history repeating itself. And you see that in the game industry more than anywhere else. In all these industries of just how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can kind of predict stuff pretty accurately if you're...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We avoid that. I mean, we did report on leaked stuff that we most definitely did have sources on, uhm, that were given to us, and we vetted those people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so like, we did cover ourselves legally on those stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Jobs, like, got cancer of that, basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's a good man. Uh, I forgot where I was going with that. Oh, but like, someone... It was a weird thing where like, so that guy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever the journalist was or the blogger, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if I'm not familiar that much with Super Bunny Hub, but if he has his own website, that'd be a good place to post other videos, you can have a donate button, all that sort of stuff, people want to support it. Why is your head on your right shoulder?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a degree too, but they also have an army of lawyers, uhm, that's part of the, uh, having any sort of print right now, not that print is exactly the media you wanna, you know, the medium you wanna be striving for right now, but those things are old institutions that have existed for dozens of years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back up on that, and uh, I remember reading the story a while ago, uhm, I was like in journalism class, and we were asking about tabloids, like how can tabloids


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically publish slander all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, partly that, but they, they have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I think it becomes slightly more profitable. They kind of cover their own asses a little bit more, but those tabloids where they're just like, Bruce Jenner's an alien? You're like, dear god. Like, how do you get away with that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I was gonna say that the difference though, having an institution that has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds of lawyers at the disposal versus the single person who wants to voice their opinion on something. Wildly different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, that's what happens. So it's scary. It is scary. But that's also, that's, that's what happens when technology advances and things evolve. These are the growing pains before we're all replaced by AI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I'm trying to explain the scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, I'm sure everyone even, everyone here and everyone listening or watching this podcast knows at least one person, might even be themselves, who are better socially on their computer than they are in person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever. I mean, sure. There's a lot of technology to distract you from real life now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. I almost bought Lawrence a, uh, one of those Japanese pillows while I was there. A body pillow? Yeah, I was gonna get us a gift like, ah, this would be so funny. They're like $85. It's like, that's too expensive for a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's like going to, like, man, I love Disneyland. Alright, going to Disneyland every day. I don't like Disneyland so much anymore. I've been coming here too often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had this moment of just sitting there, I'm like, this is nice. I could have just gone back to my office and sat down and, you know, painted in pictures that I was doing all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, like, so part of me is like, I was a big, well, ehm, I'm a big Assassin's Creed fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the reason I went, I chose to go to Italy one time for a vacation, we got the same deal, uh, that's where I went and proposed to my wife, uhm, but part of it was, what the fuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game, this game's busted. Uhm, anyway, uh, part of it was like, I played a lot of Assassin's Creed 2 and I'm like, I really wanna go there. And I felt like I already virtually experienced it, but I really wanted to go in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I kinda felt like I'd already been around there in some way, but the experience of actually being there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was this, uh, there was like a kickstarter, there was like a kickstarter type video where they were showing like the future VR basically, what they're doing is they're trying to recreate like paintball or airsoft parts, but you wear virtual reality goggles and you have like a chest pack that like vibrates when you get hit and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I remembered the name of that thing. I feel bad. I mean, it looks like a total scam. It's totally not real. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember, I was talking about this, I was on a podcast a while ago and I was talking about this, like, that's what I'm excited for, for Virtual Reality is like to be able to go to like an arena sports park or something like that, like a paintball field, but I don't have to get paint all over myself and I can be like, you know, like a knight or whatever, like fighting off this thing with all my friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it could all be virtual. Like it'd be really cool. Like I want that to be real. I'm looking forward to that and like being in like a padded room and just play like matrix levels. That'd be cool. Someone's gonna break a femur, but it's gonna be so worth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just imagine there's like a secret room that only I see and Ryan Gosling's in there and I'm like, guys, hold on. Give me five minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either way, now I'm expecting all the people on Twitter to tell me to go read Ready Player One. Or I think that's a scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you will watch shows about them making delicious decadent food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? No, actually. I knew it! Well, so I was waiting for someone to point out, I've been looking at cars a lot lately because I drive to work now. And I have been looking at Mustangs, 2011 to 2014, I like this model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, well I'm probably never gonna own this car, but I can drive it in a video game, that's kinda cool. I wouldn't get this stupid fin on it, this looks dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, the controller's like super vibrating, I'm not doing anything, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've done that before, like I've played Need for Speed, and like I will, I basically play that game to drive cars I know I'll never own, like Ferraris and McLarens and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, that's such a dumb joke, but I'm so glad they put it in there. Anyway. You should watch Harvey Bird, man. James.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't call it Alien Prometheus, they called it Prometheus. I don't know, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My big reason for not wanting to play is everyone tells me it's like 15 hours long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took my girlfriend in high school to go see Ang Lee's The Hulk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I only did half as good as Alien Isolation. I'm done with this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. We have a plan. You must have one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's not true. I mean, it's kinda true, but. I mean. Hey, I'll say this, you've become the first alternate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. But they generally make like all state academics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Some people don't gotta fight though. I'm not talking about hand to hand combat exclusively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm talking about people that are, I worked here and worked there and did this and did that. Well then why are you here? You are that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I landscaped yards, I worked at town of peaches, now I'm general manager, duck commander. I ain't done a whole lot in my life. But I've stayed committed everywhere I've been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I was there for the long haul. Cause that's just the kind of person I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know back in the day how dumb it was for West Monroe High School to play LSU High School? I mean, Evangel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had to get our bills from Jose. We had to go sneak at somebody to overpay for some Bud Light because we thought it was cool. That's fine. Not a big deal. But them boys at Evangel the next day were working out. Doing all the things and we's out there trying to, you know, scarf up, smoke a cigarette butt because you know, that's what you did. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was just trying to, it was a different time, but we wasn't scared. We strapped him pads on. Yeaah. We about to get, I mean, I'm looking across from this old boy. He's already committed to LSU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm looking at him and I'm like, he is about to whoop me for 48 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna have to try something different because this ain't working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Hold on, I'm going to step out for a second. I could have quit. No, come on in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a mildly different subject. I do, I want to know y'all's take on that. I had a weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happening last night, so I- Was it happening? Yeah, I- I got home and I could tell...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not get home. I got the text that said when you get home, Jackson is all yours. He's mentally and physically abused everybody in this house today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I was like, okay, not a problem. So I get home. I can tell mama's she had enough for a month. She fed up. She had enough. So I said, you know what I'm doing? I'm going to be a good guy. I said, you go get in the bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me the monitors and I'm going to sleep on the couch. That way, you know, you get a full night of unadulterated sleep, monitor free, no nothing. So I'm laying there about 10 o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in their playroom, which is right next to our living room, I hear one of their toys go off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, ain't nobody escape, but I'm just like, cause I'm looking at the monitor. I'm like, okay, we're all good. And I'm just sitting there thinking, why is that toy going off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what? There ain't nobody in that room. I hope not. I don't have a camera in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I did come to the conclusion of I ain't gonna die in a scary movie because when I hear the noise, I don't go look. I just sit there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but. Well I wasn't scared, I just didn't want to die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The toy is actually their little, what do they call them now? It's not little tykes anymore, little people. I don't think they call them tykes anymore, they call them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's a little fire truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what was making the racket. I was like, man, that's weird. Cause you gotta like push a button on it. I mean, I know I play with it. Like, could be. I don't really know what it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, whatever. 20 minutes later, I'm laying there on cash, I got the moms right by my hand, my phone starts going off, brr, brr, brr, all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look and it's the United Automation people that have the fire system here. And I'm like, I ain't answering that mess, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, as soon as that one quits ringing, my phone starts again. I look, I'm like, Hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. That, that's the number I got to answer. I just, I didn't know whose it was. I just knew I was like, I better answer this one. This is the Washtenaw Parish Fire Department. I was like, okay. They, it was their truck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't their truck, but they were dispatching three units to Duck Commander because of smoke alarms, various smoke alarms going off inside Duck Commander and they needed somebody to guarantee entry into the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, so I guess you need me to go. And she was like, I sure do. I said, well, here I come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That side door's glass. At 10.30 at night between, you asleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't out there up to no good. You sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just thought it was weird. I get here, it's the spray foam people doing whatever hunter and them need to be done in this other room. And they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took the Thiel off the covers and the, whatever, so fire, there are three fire trucks at this place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? But how does, why, how come the toy that went off was a fire truck too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they still in them sleep sacks. They can't climb in them sacks. Now when they outgrow them sacks, we in a bind. Cause they are climbers. It's a bad deal. They wake up and they're touching you. Are they looking at you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when I'm in another room and I hear a big thud, I'm like, I just wait for the cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. To see just how bad it was. Yeah. If I don't hear nothing, I'm like, lesson learned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I hear something, I'm like, that's a problem. Yeaah. But I did think it was weird. The fire truck toy led to a call from the fire department. Then I come up here and there's three fire trucks and then I go back home and I can't go to sleep until like 1.30 so I'm wearing no fumes today but we'll be alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just figured it was dad coming around creeping around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I figure his dad's spirit coming around, hanging out, checking on the boys. Just messing with you? Just checking on the boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I, I was already awake. I was in the process of going to sleep. I was like right in that kind of fog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, welcome to the podcast and we're so excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you've only read about him or someone told you his story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had the opportunity to talk to people about Jesus, about the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, and the reason they don't believe, okay, is they're not real to Him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in my humble opinion, I've got to add this in here before they do. Okay, I have my, I was in a band and I've done the Nashville thing. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I tell people all the time, y'all need to look at this crazy old man known as Uncle Si.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am living proof that the father, the son, the Holy spirit are alive and well and doing the most amazing things with the most unlikely person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't have a relationship with the father son and Holy spirit, folks, you hadn't got nothing you're missing out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh, now we're talking about the son. Hold it. He's not spiritual. He started out as the word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then as John tells us, the word was with God and the word was God in the beginning. But then the word done the most amazing thing in verse 14, the word became flesh and dealt dwelt among us. That's Bible says, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's here. Then the rest of the Bible saying, Hey, guess what? He's coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know what the Bible says. Okay. When people sit in front of me, I've had little old ladies come up and says, Hey, look, the praise team is fixed to sing about four of his favorite songs. And all he's fixing to do is get louder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, first thing out of Phil's mouth was, hey, y'all ain't putting that junk out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was terrible. And you did. And I said, Hey, look, don't worry about the guy that was running. He's don't worry about it. We're going to get it taken care of. And they did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we, we old people today, I named, I named my dog after you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not only that, no man would die for a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it's just, they brought this up and we was going water gate and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, we had Rucker on my podcast and Rucker is our man in charge of celebrate recovery. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and I asked him the same thing I asked y'all, and he said the same thing about, well hey, relationship with Jesus Christ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but what I'm wanting to tell you is we talked about freedom. I spent a lot, 24 and a half years in the military.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was in Europe, 12 and a half of that, okay. And I had opportunities to go to the Iron Curtain and all this and I never did. And I really didn't know why until somebody, you know, asked me, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, well, I had a friend of mine ask me to go speak to a man that's incarcerated in Oklahoma in a jail. And when I talked to him, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everywhere we went, they unlocked the door and then when I went through it, they locked it behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To ever visit a country where someone else locks a iron door behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeah, wrong answer. Yeah, I've tried it my way. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's try it, let's try it with, with Jesus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think she got tired of daddy and the kids and said, Hey, I'm fixed to take a vacation. And all I had to do is act goofy and my husband will put me in the nuthouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought she was crazy because the kids were shooting 22 rifle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she said give it to me kids and they had a bunch of Christmas lights hanging in the yard and she just goes ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta ta and shut all the Christmas lights out. Well, it's time for her to go to the nuthouse again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is so weird. You talk about it and I went back to my childhood. I'm serious. I did too. Because, because I didn't have to worry about nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but in my eyes, that was the greatest time of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We was a family. God loved us. We had everything we need. God loved us and mom loved dad loved us. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, hey, I didn't have to worry about nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His kids and I mean the kids down there that he works with. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They drive him nuts, take, trying to take care of them. Well, when he's with me, he gets a break from all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already know I'm more crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Children Alabama had a song about they sing it and says, well, that's close enough to perfect for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he preaches, sometimes he said, Hey, look, y'all think you've got to do something great. He said, no, you don't have to do that. He said in your daily life, being kind to a neighbor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or just you show up and you're always positive. You're never negative. You don't know how far that God takes that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Just one little thing that you show somebody, you gonna help somebody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I leave this baby job a hundred hundo and then when I get to heaven, I'm going to say Jesus, can I take about a year off and I want to go see the rest of your creation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's better on the big screen anyway. Yeah, I know about crap. Is your mom and dad still alive? Yeah, oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, y'all need to come up here, uh, you know, quite often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. No, no, I'm serious. Don't worry about the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we don't need a reason, we don't need a reason to come back. Y'all got the one person involved in it, and it's gonna be a smash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We was filming seven days a week. Okay, so we was actually filming on Sunday. So Saturday, Dave, we're filming like 12, 14 hours and they kept.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rewording something they wanted me to say, and I will tell them, no, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said it y'all and then I left and I went home. That was Saturday night, Sunday morning. I come to church. I was preaching a sermon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's preaching and every time he says something, I think he's pointing at me because I said what I shouldn't have said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had to film back right after church. So I go in, I yell out, I say, Hey, where's the director? And I said, wow. I said, because I got a bone to pick with him, get him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, hold on, hold on. So he comes walking in, he's waving, what's the matter? I said, uh, you kept pushing me last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we was filming and I said, and I knew I shouldn't have said it when I said it, but I did. I said, now here's the deal. I said, if that hits the TV screen. I said, I'm done with the duck dynasty. You're on the guys. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Settle down. So I said, dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, look, I don't know you very good. I said, but I'm a man of my word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, if that junk hits the TV screen, I said, I'm done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Phil, when they come down to say, okay, we're going to shoot two pilots, you know, Phil said, wait a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me get this right. You've got a family here that we're known for one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We call ducks in and then we kill them as close as we possibly can. But that ain't what y'all gonna have the movie about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all gonna do something else. Phil said it'll never work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they all go saying, what do you mean? He said, unless he races under his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, he's seen all of them. What else do you have to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think between you and him, it'd be a race to see who's got more wind. Who's got better cardio. Between Si and him? Between Si and him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I miss this, this Mano E Mano 101, you know, you're ready to fight 30 seconds later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guarantee. Well, you know what, you know what John Wayne said? He said, what was that movie? Big Jake? Remember that movie? Told that young buck, he said, well, since you don't respect your elders, maybe it's time you learn to respect your betters. And then he knocked the piss out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spit thing. That's about the nastiest thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say between the ears, he has a lot of promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He retains the information well, but his problem is below the neck. He's struggling. Well, maybe he's got a good, but I think that he's motivated and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see, it's 50-50 right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your brother acquired something the other day. Well, actually it was for Miss Kate, but he now has a bidet installed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it heated? So Jersey Joe had the bidet out, he had his parts laid out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Phil walks in, he said, what you got there, Jersey? He said, Phil, it's a bidet. I said, what is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then once he got it on the pot, Phil walks in there and looks at it. He said, how are you supposed to take a leak?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in his mind, he was thinking a continuous waterfall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, anyways, Bill said, how you take a lead? He said, well, you just raise the lead. Just like you would a normal toilet. Do you take a leak? He said, Oh, okay. So he goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he, did he told Jersey Joe, don't tell anybody I got this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So has he used it? Oh yeah. And he, he was bragging on it. I think they talked about it on another Shane podcast yesterday that he talked about. He felt like he had to sneak up on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was like his own entity in there. He's just kind of slipping up on it. And then I've never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know he, those nats, those no-seals? Yea. He was buying the Victoria's Secret perfume. Yea, the Amber Romance. Amber Romance. That stuff's legit. It's the only thing to keep him nats off of you. Yea. And I saw it in his rig. And I said, what's that? He told me what it was. Then he followed that by saying, don't tell nobody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I saw him spraying Febreze on his hunting clothes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, and Phil, what are you doing? And he said, this fire breeze, this is what you got to do. They will not smell you. And of course it's, it was so potent, the smell coming off of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, I said, Phil, they can't smell that. I said, I can smell that. I know them deer can, and then he showed me the bottle. You know what it says on the bottle? Eliminates odor. Eliminates odor. Duh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a true story, but it didn't hang around for five. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phil probably needs a de-scaler on his. Yeah, he may need to put


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at her. Yep. But that's about three years of consistent training. And she loves it. It's, it's the equivalent of a, an adult blue belt is what it is. In other words, she was in a, in altercation. She could handle herself with somebody her own size, even a little bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that's, that's, uh, that's Dempsey, one of the females in our school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want- Oh, barely, barely doesn't have his colored belt. He's got a white belt, so you know what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there you go. There's the picture right there. Well, look at them eyes. You know who her role model is? You? Rhonda Rousey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at those eyes, zoom in on those eyes and then look at his eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was a very proud moment for me. I mean, that's, uh, she just turned nine and that's about 40 moves. She had to demonstrate in front of the class and in the crowd. And then she got shark tank was she had, we picked the five toughest boys in the class and she had to survive five rounds with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then towards the end, it got a little tough. I could see those eyes start to well up a little bit, but the lesson here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is learning how to deal with very, very uncomfortable situations. And she now in this case has the ability to escape those very uncomfortable situations and come out on top in the end. So she survived it. She did great. It was pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a parent, it was very tough to watch. She was struggling at the end of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a feeling that this one's going to be the same way as far as that one goes. You know what she told me? She said, daddy, you know what I'm going to do for my birthday? I said, what? She said, kill something. I said, your uncle side would be so proud right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're not right now. That's what needs to happen. And guess what? A year later, he gonna dish out some of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soccer's a game. Yeah. It's a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at the end of the day, people spend thousands, thousands of dollars taking their kids around playing games. Congratulations. Your kids good at a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not most of the time, you know, the percentage, the percentage of people that get paid to play games by 0.02%. And I saw, you know, remember David Pollock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw something he said the other day, that boy that in God, it rang true. He said point, he's speaking to a group of parents, 0.002% of these kids are going to play professional sports. 100% of these kids are going to stand before the almighty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter what it is, once you start it, finish it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody told me they saw a guy with those high, high goggles. What are they called? You know, the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reality and he was fishing fantasy world. He was looking at his.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know the answer to that question. I don't think it's cheating, but I do think I would rather enjoy creation than have my face stuck in a screen all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to store up my trail for like one big one at the end. Cause that's how good the extravaganza is. I'm holding on to this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can tell a big difference when I do drink it and when I don't drink it. And I stayed up all night and all day and wasn't able to take it. Just got up a little while ago, came up here and now I got my age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That man was in a tailspin. His wife has fallen and can't get up. No, no. His world was legitimately crumbling around him.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But see, that's the good thing about ducks, they just crap on everything. Yeah. So like everybody's like, no, y'all kill them. Lack them and stack them. Yeah, they don't care about that.

[Assistant] He's never understood the joy of shooting a giraffe. A giraffe? I wouldn't, he don't seem like something I'd hunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But hey, the thing about hunting over there is if it weren't for hunters over there, them folks would be poor as a snake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people that show up there are the ones that pump money into that economy. Therefore, then they get to hire wildlife officers to protect them from the local poachers and kill them for ivory and local things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to do it. Yeah, that's the way I feel. I just, it wouldn't be me. There are some things that in this world that are hunted that have never, like, I don't, I have no desire to ever hunt a bear. You know what? I want to hunt. I don't, I have no need for a bear skin rug. I know people eat it and say, it's great. I just don't, it ain't for me.

[Assistant] I don't ridicule many, but uhm, no, so, but no, coming back. So I've been around a boat, trailers, all the things my whole life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, yesterday I had something happen to me that has never happened to me. I'm just driving down the interstate, cruising right along and I feel a jerk on my truck because I took my boat to follow them on the water. And I look out my side mirror.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm seeing Express Boats logo closer to me than it should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason, my trailer just started fishtailing. Out of the blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody here knows me. I ain't a speed demon. I ain't pullin' it too fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was raining. The only thing I can figure is like either my truck tires spun or it wanted to hydroplane. Cause like to my knowledge, what I was taught by my father, who was pretty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Experienced in pulling trailers all over the country because he was a pipeline or welder. He traveled pulling travel trailers and stuff living in them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, that's just, that really happens mostly when your truck and your trailer are going two different speeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like where they, there gets to be a little slack or something goofy happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Straight. Hold the line. And took my foot off the gas. I didn't dare touch that brake because Clint Boyer told me that time. Don't ever hit the brake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever. Yeah. He said, if anything, the gas is your friend. Well, I was scared to, I was too scared to gas it to try to straighten up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just held onto it and it, you know, for about 15, 20 seconds, a good Lord looking out. Cause there was nobody on the interstate around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about, buddy? There was no exit available to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's still attached to my trunk. It's just fish tailing. It's just fish tailing. It's just road walking, whatever you want to call it. Just like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, I hauled it over there, no problem. I hauled it back home. It was a 22nd isolated incident on the interstate in Mississippi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not great, but like it wasn't a terrible part of it. It was just outside Meridian. What about water? Did water get in it? Was it waded in the back too much? I got the plug out. Like it shouldn't be able to collect water with a plug out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was, and I was, I was actually climbing a hill right there outside of Meridian going, coming towards Jackson and I'm looking and I'm like, well, that's a long way down right there. Cause you know, I'm actually climbing. And I'm like, uh-oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm just sitting there holding it, man. No gas, no nothing. I'm just holding on to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was just looking at each mirror, trying to figure out which way is this thing going to go. Boy, this is going to hurt. Cause I was just waiting for it to like snap me around. Cause there ain't nothing you can do. Like, you know, you did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got just sideways, but if there'd have been anybody beside me, like I had a clip, the boat clip them and, and everything and I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For life, like I said, I've been doing this. I'm 30, what I'm 38. Yeah. Gonna be 39.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, once it got under control, I pulled over, got off, um, at the next exit. Went to the bathroom. No, just took a breath. Um, but cause I was like, well, I must had a tire blowout or something. So I'm thinking I'm about to be changing a tire in the rain, you know, like no big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, well, a boat tire ain't before lugs. I mean, ain't none to it, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get the one wheel up, the other one's hanging there. You ain't got to use a jack or nothing. You just put that other one right in front of your wheel, pull it up. You, your other tires free cause I got two of them. Nothing to it. I've done it. I've done it. Been there, done that.
