[Assistant] Dude, I need you to like care about your son, alright? I need you to care about your son and his well-being. Like, where does the line stop for him now? Like, he is so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Falling into his own madness that he can't see that akumatizing his son is endangering his son. Cause I think back to when like, the bodyguard was going after Adrian and like, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let him go, and he's like, no, my son! Now I'm like, I don't even know if Gabriel would blink if his son was in danger. He'd probably be like, for the better, like, let him die so I may get the miraculous, and I'll just wish him back to life, along with my wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not to mention he's on a ticking time clock too with the whole arm thing happening, which I'm curious to see how that progresses as we continue down this road, cause he's gotta be in some pretty immense pain. But on that note, I... I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The whole dancing segment was weird. That was weird. Can we all agree on that? So unnecessary to show his


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His enjoyment of children being akumatized and finding out the holders and all that jazz, like unnecessary, this man dancing around, throwing himself around, like bro, it was such an


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, it was unnecessary. Do I find it funny because now I can watch that and laugh? Yes. But for the betterment of the episode, it was weird. It was not necessary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Ladybug recognizes and understands that the miraculous are now encased in rings. That they are not the miraculous themselves, that she can't rip them off like before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that she really ever did, but she can no longer rip them off. So they're just rings now. So basically she has to just go woot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And grab them. Which I am kinda disappointed she didn't realize it faster. Cause she probably could've snagged a few off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Granted, yes, she had to take a second to process like, oh, that's where they are and he ripped them off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like, I get it, like she knew which one she wanted so she yanked that and then she was like, oh, and then he like pulled back when he was able to. But it is maddening. I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peacock Miraculous is with Felix, which we haven't touched that at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there is still a miraculous out there that we don't have eyes on or control over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how helpful it would be to our cause to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I think Felix is really gonna help Ladybug? I just don't imagine that. So, it will be interesting to see where the season goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cuz obviously we're really heavy-handing pushing the, uhm, Marinette and Adrienne romance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's going to keep being pushed in these episodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the alliance is still very dangerous to us and is allowing people to get these extra powers. We have the resistance at school which is very helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know how helpful it will continue to be, but it was helpful in this episode. It is good to have additional allies on our side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know what will transpire from this point on because we don't have Miraculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it probably will lead for him to make mistakes, but at this point, we still don't understand that the Alliance rings, and the Sarugi by the way, but we don't understand that the Alliance rings are allowing this transfer of power. So, once we can figure that out, it'll be very, very helpful to our cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know if maybe Kagami might be able to help us figure that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe she'll overhear her mom, Sergi, talking about it and she'll be able to, I don't know, gossip and tell us? I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Cause I don't feel like we're gonna figure out the alliance ring thing. Even though I feel like especially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After this episode, I feel like we should have more of a hint about the Alliance rings. I feel like we should because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what sucks is Marinette was not there to stop or fight this villain. I wish she was there for the first part one, the cookie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because seeing that he had five powers, probably could have connected some dots with the five alliance rings on his hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But since it was not Marinette, I don't think Alia is going to understand. And I'm not putting any blame on Zoe because honestly she knew and picked up on more than I intended and thought she would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So props to Zoe for like just rolling with the punches so well, but I, I just don't think Oli is going to pick up on the Alliance ring situation, especially because she herself is just wearing the Alliance ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marinette I believe in because she has given up the ring, and not only that, but she has seen first hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How it may have endangered another person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she went, wore it, did the doobly doobas, ladybug, came back and gave it to her friend and then her friend got targeted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buuuut, Marinette understood, like, ooh, like, probably not a good thing to wear, cause it basically shows I'm a freak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we'll see what happens. I really like this season so far. I think it's been very interesting, very dramatic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's fun to kind of be, uhm, like I said at the start, for myself I am basically watching these like a few days after the Disney Channel release of them. So, for me this is really, really fun. I'm really enjoying it. Uhm, it's cool to be caught


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, if you guys want to watch, uh, my reactions to the episodes early in when they air basically on Disney Channel, you can check it out on my Patreon page, link down in the description below to get access to the episodes early. But thank you guys so much. This was so much fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, unless there's an episode that's labeled two parter, and as long as it comes out together on Disney Channel, I will watch the two parter together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it is not a two-parter, I will just keep going with these single episodes as we've been because that's how Disney Channel is doing it. So, kinda at the mercy of the English dub now. So, thank you guys so much for watching this with me. This was really fun. It gave me a lot to think about for the show and kinda, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pushing us forward, so it's, it's cool, it's fun. I like, I kinda like theorizing now because I can't even though I know the bible for season 5 leaked, but it is fun to kinda theorize with y'all, so I'm definitely excited, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys so much for watching. Please make sure to use that little pinky of yours to hit that subscribe button. That way you know when I upload and I will see you all later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Langshou told you about it? I read the message she sent him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the principal had come out of her office with a gun in her hand, she might have at least mitigated the carnage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much everybody who came to visit me at Comic Con. I just got back and I had the best time of my life. Literally-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never even got a break from the amount of people that came up and said hi to me and hearing your stories about how my videos have helped you through


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first time I went to Comic Con, I had about 2,000 subscribers, and four people still came up to me. And just if you think about it, you know, about that proportionally, the amount of people in the world, and how many people could have been there at one point, still four people came up to me and said hi. That was the most meaningful thing I had ever seen. I never even expected anyone to come up and say hi to me with that number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet when I came back, I made a promise to myself to dedicate this channel and what it does to making people's lives better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of how far we've come. I want you guys to see, uhm, there'll be links up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To an old video of mine, a very old video, you'll see a very awkward person who's not comfortable in front of the camera, not that I'm comfortable anyway. But you will see me back when I first came back from Comic Con and I made this promise to myself and looking back myself on this, I've watched this recently, it's just odd to see but I'm so proud of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we've come and- or how far we've come and where you guys have been supporting me throughout this entire time, so just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you so much and watch that and my 10,000 subscriber video because we get so many subscribers a day now just inundated with new people and I'm so glad that you guys have chosen to subscribe to me and support my videos and I want you guys to know who I am because I'm not just a guy that plays video games, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This channel has never been about the games that I play, but more about the entertainment that we have together and the community that we build, and I harp on that a lot, but it means everything to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meeting you guys on an individual level is something that I lose touch with when I'm behind a computer in my home alone and I don't have anyone here that are like regular supporters and yet all these people came up to me that knew so much about me and yet I didn't know anything about them and when I left Comic-Con it was weird because I was kinda sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I-I felt like I had left a lot of my friends behind, these new people that came up and met me, and were just the coolest people I could have met, and so many interesting stories about how I'd helped them out, and I tried to give everyone the most time possible, but I-my knees and legs are shot from standing for four days straight, but you guys are just amazing. And I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I owe you guys everything to do with my channel. I came from a really shitty part of my life to where I am today. I was just in the worst spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of people know about it because of my, uh, draw my life, and I may have, uh, tried to make that a bit more, you know, engaging and entertaining, but the reality of it was, I, I hadn't like, I was in such a low point and I used my channel to try to make my life better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you guys have done that in so many ways. I would be nowhere near this level of goodness-ness that I am today and just being here


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In LA, and able to make videos for you guys is just the greatest gift that you guys could give me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, when I meet you guys, one on one, and I would love to meet every single one of you, but with 2.8, and yes, we crossed 2.8 million subscribers, and that's amazing, but just, with that many people, I know I'll never be able to, and that's kinda sad. But at the same time, I want you guys to always know, that one person,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can still make all the difference in the world. I don't really care about how many people we have in the community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So thank you guys for believing in me. Thank you guys for being there for me. And just know that I'm always gonna dedicate myself to making this a better place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always gonna have subscriber, er, not subscriber, but uh, charity livestreams every month from now on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But either way, okay, so all that sappy stuff aside, I'm sorry I get so wordy when it comes to these things, but I wanted to show off because a lot of fans came up to me and they gave me cool stuff to see, so anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With a tiny box tin on them, and I'm just so happy because it's just so cute! There's another one here, hang on. Oh, it's a Warfstache tiny box tin! Oh, it's so cute! And there's gonna be plushies of these guys for real in a few months here. They're gonna come up for another charity livestream where you can buy these for charity. It's gonna be awesome! Anyway, there's more stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and it's got mark and mash on the inside so that whenever I wear it I can think about us together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is on another bullet. I think it's what you fire from a bow, and then as it fires, it then shoots this, and then pierces him and then shoots this bullet at the end. So it gets like triple killing action with a bow. Or maybe I'm just an idiot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, that's just a little taste of what you guys gave me while I was at Comic Con. I cannot wait for next year's Comic Con and whatever event I go to. I haven't been able to go to as many conventions as I would have liked this year. I have been incredibly busy, but just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys for being the most amazing fans in the world. I can't even begin to imagine seeing all of you in one place. I must have met at least a thousand people while I was at Comic Con, and that was for four days straight, non-stop, meeting someone every single moment. And I- it was worth it, guys. It was absolutely worth it. You guys have been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most amazing thing that has ever graced my life. And I know this is serious and I look silly because I got a mustache around my neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm neck mustache bearding. I don't know what I'm doing. But anyway, just thank you guys so much for everything and for continuing to support me. I can't thank you enough. So, thanks again. And as always, I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you kinda did this to yourself, girly. I mean, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A persistent neg! This is a bit much. Considering you also now love this boy, let's tone it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's Marinette? Uh huh. Those are the exact questions you should be asking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, Marinette was almost akumatized. That is so bad for us. Girl needs to just end all be all. We are done with love. Done with love. No more love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm content with this. I'm very content with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably not, no. I think that's why there's like eight seasons of the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just gotta, you just gotta keep pursuing her, buddy. Keep, keep your head up, sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been hinting at kind of the meerkat stuff cause like Marinette has like said now that she's had a crush on Cat Noir and that's what we were doing in the reunion episode cause she was trying to see if any other, you know, had been in love, you know, such and such.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, dang, this episode was crazy. Like, number one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to give our love and support to Alia. Alia is just queen. I love her. I support her so good. Yes, she was resistant at the start, which was wise, okay? She was still wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be like, hey, I don't think you should be with Cat Noir. That sounds like a really bad idea. I don't think you're finding some loophole around anything. Like, you clearly didn't have feelings for Cat Noir before. I know you still like Adrienne. Those feelings have not gone away. Like, don't lie to yourself, girly. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, you're just doing this because you think you can loophole around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just be in love with somebody else, which like, it didn't work with Luca, probably not gonna work with Cat Noir, but you think it's gonna work for some reason, and it's just not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with Alia in everything she was trying to get across to Marinette, that it wasn't wise and that she was kind of putting her own self in danger, but Marinette's like lol, like I'm already in danger because I'm ladybug, so like what's a little bit more danger? And it's like, well no, now you're gonna end up getting kidnapped by like Monarch and then we're not gonna have a ladybug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's worse. It's somehow worse. And I'm glad that Alia was like picking up those vibes in whatever capacity and being like, this is a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, on the flip side of things, we have, uhm, our-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, like, kiss between meerkat, which was crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that escalated so quickly. Like, I love the fact that she's like, I love-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Cat Noir. Cat Noir. Cat Noir. And then he's just there and she's like, oh my god, I'm gonna die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've never really gotten that like lovey-dovey-ness yet in this show, so it was like awkward to see characters being like full lovey-dovey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like besides like a parent and like their spouse or something, like seeing Cat Noir and Marinette being like, I love


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, like it was like getting embarrassing, like I had to like look away because I was like, do they need like a second? Do I need to like leave the room so these children can like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have their moment, cause like, I feel like I am intruding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other section after the whole ice cream incident which did not go well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which, with Andre it just never does. I'm glad that it seems like this will probably be the last time Andre will be persnickety about who's with who, which is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But oh my god, and then like the two of them got all close again after, you know, getting all woo with each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jump scared, like my heart was just like fluttering cause I was like, are they actually gonna kiss? Like are they actually kissing? And then they did, not once but twice, but the second time really wasn't like love or passion. It was more so Cat Noir was trying to think of how to keep Marinette from getting akumatized and he was like, oh, if I kiss her again, like maybe she'll like simmer down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, that wasn't the first kiss, was it? No, technically their first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ladybug and Cat Noir's first kiss was the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember, but that would have been their first kiss. So yes, we've had kisses before, but like this one was like probably the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Genuine consensual kiss? Even though I do actually think Cat Noir was very, very correct about everything that he was taking advantage of the situation. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, there's actually layers to it. Besides for the fact that like, oh, I'm


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cat Noir, and you're my fan, so I'm taking advantage of you and I might push you to do things that you're not comfortable doing because you just want to please me because you're my fan. Like, number one, like, creep level there. Uh, second is that he's in love with Marinette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so he'd be taking advantage of Marinette's love and trust, even though she doesn't love Adrian, who is technically the person under the mask, technically who Cat Noir is. So he'd be taking advantage of her that way as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, not to mention just putting her ultimately in harm's way and risk for being in that relationship as well because she is just a human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If people find out they're together, she will get targeted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in a lot of ways, it was like an uncomfy relationship. But the sad truth is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, she's literally doing the same thing that she's just like, I am taking advantage of Cat Noir not loving Ladybug by finding out that he loves Marinette, so I'm gonna be Marinette so that he loves me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sad to see kind of it like whipped back to each other, which I think is why Marinette, you know, when she had a second to kind of let those emotions go and realize how compromised her emotions got with this relationship, she was able to kind of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kinda taking advantage of him as well because I know he doesn't like Ladybug anymore, but I know he likes Marinette so I can use this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, it's all kind of like, skeevy. It's cute. Don't get me wrong, like, their relationships are still cute, but it is a little skeevy when you think about it. So, uh, ungenuine of them. So it's interesting that we kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is interesting kinda getting that, uhm, portrayed and kinda talked about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, you know, there are unequal relationships. And it does happen, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that very often there was a huge problem, and it might still be a problem, but I don't know about it as much, but like, you know, like ten, maybe twelve?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nor would I do those things, let me just state that as well. I am demisexual, like, doesn't really happen for me like that. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it's very interesting to talk about, because I think there's a lot of girls who are not aware of those, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Non-binary pals as well, and males that let- there are these, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Positions of power that can kinda happen and there can be disadvantaged individuals in a relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I really like that we addressed it. I know they didn't go very in depth with it, but kinda Cat Noir talked about it a bit. And I think it was nice to have some


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Expand on that a bit more and talk to your child or else, you know, I think it's also a good thing that if someone's like, I don't understand why this was a problem, blah blah blah blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It opens up that dialogue to kinda help inform individuals, uh, kinda about those unfair, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really, really bad. This is now the second time that we're aware that she's almost been akumatized. The other time was the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A Lila situation where she was accusing Marinette of lying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I don't- I can't necessarily blame her, like getting her heart kinda like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it'd be like, actually, we can't do this. Like, that would be very crushing. Like, I can't even imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going through that and just her having this extreme hope and desire and love that her feelings are being reciprocated back to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just instantly that being taken away and being like, no, we can't do this. We can never do this. I can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, oh, how soul-crushing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That experience would be, and maybe some of you watching this have had a similar experience where you feel like you finally got that person and they destroy it right in front of you. I hope you've never, cause that sounds extremely painful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I think Marinette's still gonna have feelings for Cat Noir a bit. But maybe she might start addressing the fact that she likes Adrien again and stop denying it so heavily. And then I think, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adrian will still pursue Marinette.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, you know, at the end, he kind of had that hopefulness like, yeah, you can love something again. Like, if I just start showing these feelings to Marinette, maybe she'll actually reciprocate them and understand that I'm, I'm open for business now. Wow, the razzle dazzle, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a great episode, really crazy. I am shell shocked by everything that happened and it only makes me more excited to continue watching more Miraculous Ladybug with you all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys so much for watching this with me. I really do appreciate it. Please make sure if you like this video to go to that subscribe button and hit it with your little pinky. That way I know you're super talented and you'll get updated for when I upload more miraculous. So thank you guys so much and I'll see you all later.

[Assistant] The story of how Harvey Weinstein silenced his accusers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Catherine Kendall is one of over a hundred women who have come forward with allegations against Harvey Weinstein since October 2017. Many of these women are now suing him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But through a spokeswoman provided frontline written responses to allegations in this film. He denies any criminal conduct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein built up a successful concert promotion business. Then in 1980, he made his first film,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 24-year-old Paweł Okowiak worked on the film as an intern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One day she says she was asked to take some checks to a hotel room for Weinstein to sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another young woman working on the film, Suzomar Wilson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says Weinstein approached her at a party after filming had finished. This is the first time she's spoken publicly about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his responses to Frontline, he denies Paulo Wachowiak's account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And disagrees on the details


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miramax, the film company he founded along with his brother Bob, was expanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They saw themselves as artists, outsiders to the Hollywood system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The company made its name with movies that mainstream studios ignored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein's power was growing, and he was working with top Hollywood actresses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein told Frontline, Sean Young's account is untrue. He never met her in his office or anywhere else, and had nothing to do with her career. It was the last time she would work on a Miramax film.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1993 Miramax was bought by Disney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Helping Weinstein become one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disney says it was unaware of any sexual misconduct complaints against him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But his colleagues say he was notoriously difficult to work for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hollywood stars continued to line up to work with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A part in one of his films could mean artistic credibility, fame and awards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein was at the top of the Hollywood establishment, but a reporter with sources in the movie industry was investigating a disturbing rumor about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paltrow didn't address the rumors at the time, and never accused him of assault. But she since said Weinstein harassed her, and that she told her agent, and her then boyfriend Brad Pitt, who confronted Weinstein.

[Assistant] Weinstein's responses to Frontline do not directly dispute Zoe Brock's allegations, but say she is, quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Publicizing her lawsuit seeking damages from Mr. Weinstein despite the fact that she never complained to anyone at the time. But Zoe Brock says she told many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many models and actresses now say they told their agents about Weinstein's behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the most influential talent firms in Hollywood, Creative Artists Agency has since said in a statement, quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We apologize to any person the agency let down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By now, some inside Miramax had started to connect the dots about Weinstein's behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no one in Hollywood calling him out, Weinstein's alleged behavior continued. Zelda Perkins was one of his assistants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perkins accompanied Weinstein to the Venice Film Festival, along with a new colleague.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In negotiation with Weinstein's lawyers, they ask for around $200,000 each.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a clause that could see him fired if he paid off any more women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein accepted the terms on condition they sign a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein denies the attempted rape allegation and says that quote,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ms. Perkins asked for money instead of reporting her claims to the authorities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said over a period of 30 years there were actually less than 10 settlements of harassment claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet none of these settlement agreements prevented any individual from going to the police had they wished to do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four years later, a journalist at the New Yorker Magazine heard that Weinstein had been settling sexual harassment claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He began to investigate. Then he got a name, Zelda Perkins. She had moved to Guatemala, but he tracked her down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perkins wouldn't agree to an interview for Aletta's story, but he decided to confront Weinstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He and his editors concluded they couldn't publish what he'd heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Weinstein denies it, Benza says they cut a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would be paid to supply celebrity gossip that Weinstein could trade with other reporters who dug up dirt on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Benza insists he never heard any sexual harassment allegations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kim Masters, who'd been writing critical stories about Miramax, got a meeting with Weinstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his response to Frontline, Weinstein said that he wasn't shocked because he'd already heard the allegation, and it was false.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of Hollywood's biggest stars, like Meryl Streep, have since said they were unaware of Weinstein's alleged misconduct. But a handful have admitted they knew, including director Quentin Tarantino. He said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that everyone who was close to Harvey had heard of at least one of those incidents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2011, Weinstein invited actress Jessica Barth for a business meeting at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allegations of Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct had been whispered among industry insiders for decades, but still hadn't become public. That was about to change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It started when Amber Battilana Gutierrez, a 22-year-old Italian model, went to the New York police. She had just had a meeting with Harvey Weinstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They asked her to meet Weinstein again and this time wear a wire. The next night she met him at a hotel near his office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With New York prosecutors now considering whether to press charges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein, for the first time, found himself in a story he couldn't suppress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We agreed to hide his identity as he still works in the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says K2 was tasked with investigating Gutierrez's past in Italy and providing the information to Weinstein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had given conflicting accounts of what happened in Italy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The district attorney's office announced Weinstein would not be prosecuted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. declined at the interview. His office told Frontline they acted professionally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that what emerged from the audio and subsequent investigation was insufficient to prove a crime under New York law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she can't reveal the details of the alleged assault


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An allegation of sexual assault was now in the public domain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Inside the Weinstein Company, executives absorb the news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom Prince, an executive who left the company last year, is speaking out for the first time. No current executives would agree to an interview.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prince says he had become concerned about Weinstein's use of company funds to fly women around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his response to Frontline, Weinstein denied this and said that he and Prince repeatedly clashed over budgets and other production issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He insists he only ever heard vague rumors about Weinstein's conduct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bob Weinstein, who heads the Weinstein Company, has also said that he and the board had no knowledge of his brother's alleged misconduct, even though rumors had been circulating within the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, soon after Amber Gutierrez's settlement with Weinstein in 2015, his contract was up for renewal, and the board made some changes aimed at his behavior.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With his new contract, Weinstein's position at the company was secure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was about to come under more pressure from an unexpected quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the years, Weinstein had helped raise millions for AMFAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The charity hired lawyer Tom Ajami to investigate exactly what happened to the money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Word about this got back to Weinstein, and he asked Kajami to meet him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein has repeatedly denied rape allegations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weinstein had been trying to silence his accusers for decades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was now under increasing scrutiny from multiple news organizations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harvey Weinstein finally lost control of the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was no longer Hollywood's open secret. It was news around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The New York Times published multiple allegations of sexual harassment going back decades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Further allegations, some of assault and rape, would follow in the New Yorker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the following weeks, dozens more women, some famous some not, would come forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is wrong and irresponsible to conflate claims of impolitic behavior or consensual sexual contact later regretted with an untrue claim of criminal conduct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of now, police in Los Angeles, New York and London are investigating rape and sexual assault allegations going back to the 1980s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The New York Attorney General's Office has filed a civil rights case against Weinstein and the Weinstein Company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a group of models and actresses is pursuing a class action lawsuit against him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Hospital food's junk. I have to cook for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't say you did, but have you seen how long Tangsun's fingernails are? You're not going to win against her. You have to be crafty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dad introduced me to a friend. Her name is Miss Liu. She's a cafe setup consultant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently she's also training staff. I'm calling her in tomorrow to help us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That doesn't mean it wouldn't work. When we get married, we can, we can do this. We eat our meals together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the big deal? When we were kids, we slept in the same bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Repeat? Sounded like you said Halsey. I did. Copy that on our way. Don't need command to tell me. Been all hers half my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just after we found your scientist daughter, mom. She was hiding in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three, zealot class. One got bias, the leader from the looks of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My pleasure. Hear that, lieutenant? I'll be all by my lonesome back here. Make it quick, would ya?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bad news is, time is fried. I'm gonna have to fire it manually. That's a one-way trip. We all make it sooner or later. Better get going, Six. They're gonna need you down there. Listen, Reach has been good to me. Time has come to return the favor. Don't deny me this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't. We can't hear better, huh? Affirmative, Ricon Bravo. It's an indigenous creature called Grutata.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Negative. Stick a remote death charge on it. Command is planning something big. They say that Thailand is done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Copy, commander. New target six. Go shut down those air guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even for you, Kat, that's not the word I would use. What's going on? Go ahead, explain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were taken into the Majestic Hotel, uhm, to have dinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was where I was sat next to Harvey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Harvey told us that he'd spoken to everybody and they were going to join us at the du cap where he was staying, which is 30 minutes out of Cannes and quite remote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friends were never coming. That was a blatant lie. So we get to the hotel room, and I remember sobering up. Fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Harvey walked back in and he was naked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I may have even been stupid enough to lie down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he started to massage my shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And within seconds I knew that that was just not going to fly. There was no way this was happening. And I got up and I bolted into the bathroom and he chased me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He came out of the bathroom and he was apologizing and he started to cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that point I had no idea obviously how dangerous he really was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told so many people in Hollywood, producers, casting agents, everyone's reaction across the board was always, oh, yeaah, Harvey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna go down in history, it's Harvey Weinstein's assault victim, but I damn well will if it's gonna help put him in jail and it's gonna change the system. I will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had never encountered an NDA, a non-disclosure agreement. And you're talking about large sums of money. In each case, hundreds, hundreds of thousands of dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were sitting in a small conference room, across from each other, and I said, Harvey, tell me about Zelda Perkins. He rose, and he clenched his fists, and he, he, he raised his shoulders, and he said, You can imagine, an outrage, and he started screaming at me. So I thought, he was going to throw a punch at me. So I stood up, and at that point, Harvey started to cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was extraordinary. And what it said was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ken, you're gonna ruin my marriage. These were consensual relationships. And if you publish this, you're gonna destroy my, my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could have nailed the guy in 2002. The problem I had was that I couldn't prove it. Clearly, people knew or suspected that Harvey was a predator, sexual predator, and they kept their mouth shut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rean is growing well too. They're really becoming a good team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's hardly more than a bragging little half pint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, be careful, and do your best, you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're clumsy and you're hasty. And you're a blundering fool too. And add Knucklehead to the list. So be doubly careful out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want our child to value friendship and have a cheerful spirit. With a will that can't be broken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story that she told is that shortly after she came in, Harvey Weinstein inquired about whether her breasts were real or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they felt that the accuser was credible and these charges were worth pursuing. And that's what they told the Manhattan District Attorney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a report that she had been sleeping with a 70 year old man in return for gifts from this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The case rose and fell entirely on a study of the reputation of the accuser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But everybody just focused on Amber and nobody focused on the guy that she accused.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sixty million dollars invested in improvements here. In the next three years, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much capacity do you have built in here? How big can you go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a good sign when the actor who was in the show is shaking and crying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that the show's almost over and I hate even saying it because it's sad and it's something that I really look forward to every week. But do you feel now you're getting...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for watching. If you liked that video, click the subscribe button. And if you didn't like it, well you hurt my feelings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm putting some melodic shit in here then. Actually, you know what? I put a melodic guitar on it. Maybe it'll be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether they're academically ready, whether they're financially ready, they need to start class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I put on my report that the student's not ready and they don't start, I would hear it. I would constantly be pressured of why aren't they ready? Is there a way we can start them? What can we do to get them ready? Anyway, the focus was on this student needs to start. Period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a report before I finished work. It really kept me busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No need. We had a physical test at work last month. Nothing's wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But recently I can't tell what's wrong, my whole body feels uncomfortable. Sometimes we need to trust Chinese medicine. Let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, hey, hey, doctor. No need to rush. My son here is having trouble sleeping. Check him too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no need, I'm fine. It's alright, we're already here anyway, come on. Hurry, sit here. Let me feel your pulse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about? Hey, knock on wood! Hurry up and undo the jinx! My son is perfectly fine! You talk nonsense!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just said that you're not a fortune teller, and yet you can tell he has mental stress by just feeling his balls? Listen, Doc, you have to cure my son. I'm counting on you. Got it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to have a traditional Chinese medicine to get healthier, huh? Don't tell the others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, if you have a problem that is bothering you, and you can't share it with me, talk to your dad, Lee. Or you can even talk about it with Jen-jen or Zhou-chou. Anyway, you cannot just keep it all to yourself. You have to get it out, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh. Who does he get this from? He didn't even look back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on how fast your body recovers. As to whether you can walk again, we cannot be sure yet. I believe you can do it. Come, you try.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nojumper, coolest podcast in the world and today I'm in this bitch with King Lil G. How you feeling man? Man, I'm feeling good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AK-47 boys, that's the gang, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or if the cops are watching, it's not a gang, it's a positive organization for the death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you feeling man? Man, I'm feeling great. Feeling great. Feeling good. What was your day like today? Just to give us an example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it seems like you in particular, like, just, are you still 100% independent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you were, like talk about your upbringing, when you were in high school and shit like that, what was your lifestyle like and when did you, do you identify that you kinda got caught up in the street stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean that's like distinct phases that your life sort of gets broken into when you really think about it. Like when you're young, when you're 13, you don't really know who you are yet. You might, you know what you're, what you've been surrounded by. You know, that's just automatically lock-in when it makes that noise for the record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Relax and take in the benefit of the things that I've established for myself here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people lack the commitment to actually go through with that kind of thing of actually really, uh, being


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean if you have that willingness to go into these environments and play for 50 people, but at the same time make an impression on every single one of them and get to talk to them all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like somebody like you who's coming from like a real grass roots level, that's sorta, gotta be the key that a lot of people aren't willing to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like when you came out, you were kinda coming out in a way where you were speaking to a different audience. Like obviously,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That lifestyle, like, like, it was crazy, I was talking to Be Real the other day, and Be Real is like, you know, we were the first Hispanic rap group. Absolutely. But I mean, that was 20 years before you came out. Yeah. So it's kind of like, you know, people know that there's an appetite for people that are going to speak accurately about the lifestyle that they grew up in, do you feel like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of your original, like, early fanbase, that's what you built it up on, was like those people who come from the exact same environments as you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's tough to be an adult and continue to have that sort of boorish mentality for too long, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get older and you start realizing that all that shit that you were idealizing in your teens isn't as important as you thought it was, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can hit whatever you want. I was just saying, people used to do Coke on this podcast and we didn't think it was a big deal. Can't do that anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. Way too crazy, man. I wonder if they would know. I wonder if we had done a bunch of coke before we started this interview, if everybody at home would be like, oh yeah, they're on drugs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, it's the good stuff in life. When you were young, you said you weren't in school. What kind of problems were you running into in terms of getting caught up in the system and shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it's, if it's dangerous for you to take out the trash, then it's hard to imagine those same people really being able to focus on really making their life better, cause they're sort of living in like a permanent


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, Adam, he's like, you don't understand the first time that I walked to Starbucks, no gun on me, didn't see anybody looking weird at me, nothing to worry about. And he's like, you don't understand how good that felt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is kinda, you know, it is hard for me to imagine that, but I mean that says a lot about the environment that he's coming from, that to just be able to walk a couple blocks to the store and just be able to live a lifestyle that's chilled out like that, I mean that means a lot to some people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me about the crew. You had it on your chain, you had it on your hat. Everybody in here got it on their shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of being not professional, like what you're saying, not understanding loyalty and shit like that. And a lot of times if you just rely on the people that are around you, then you can run into convocations because a lot of people might not necessarily be ready for the sort of things that you're just expecting them to rise to the occasion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're in the position where you can like empower yourself by putting your shit on YouTube and you're able to like prove


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That conversation's been kinda coming up a lot lately in the media world and stuff is about people supporting designer brands who do absolutely nothing for the community and the people in the community versus


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People like, you know, I've just seen them having that conversation on some interview with Dapper Dan talking about people supporting Gucci versus people supporting, like, why is it not really necessarily considered cool to support local brands owned by the people in the community?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy when you think about, like, I remember hearing some crazy numbers saying that Nipsey's store has sold, whatever, like $2 million worth of shit since he passed. Which is amazing, yeaah, but it also makes me kind of think, like, why's there gotta be a tragedy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For all these people to, to realize that they should be supporting something like what Nipsey was doing in terms of like, you could go buy a t-shirt


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, I mean, I think it's important that we at least put that message out there, is that, yeaah, your dollars that you have in your pocket are your votes to a certain extent. And if you support people that are in the community doing stuff, and help to put bread in somebody like you's pockets,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that ultimately yields better results.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you came from, because I think that's what's important is that if you're staying in a nice place and feeling like your life is luxurious, it's like can you still remember the struggles that you went through because a lot of people, and that's one thing I hate about rich kids, rich people in general, is that when you meet somebody and they got a fucking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't fucking relate to that and it really, you know, it's just like, it's a weird vibe to be around versus being around somebody like you, where I could tell, yea, you're having things and you're comfortable in your lifestyle, but you also know how important it was to get to that point because you didn't come from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you kill somebody or you go away to jail for 10 years, you're kind of a legend on the block, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm. And it's unfortunate, but it can be hard to make a name for yourself if you go and do something extreme or you have the reputation that you rob people and all this shit and you always got it on you. Then all of a sudden that atmosphere, a lot of people are gonna celebrate that even though it's gonna end you up in one of two places.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the main thing though is just to talk about how you relate to a kid that, you know, cause like kids join gangs or kids get into bad shit like that because they are scared and alone and they don't feel like they have any other way to sort of survive that environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I did an interview in the UK last week. Talking to this dude. I was trying to, I was talking about street stuff a little bit. He was being super quiet about it. I asked him if he had any cases previously. He was like, nope. Yesterday. Picked up from murder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn. Crazy. Like I just interviewed him like last week and his career has been like going up like very rapidly and in England it's all the stabbing shit and like all of a sudden that shit comes out in the news and I'm just like damn like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really feels like a tragedy when I'm like listening to his music and realizing that he probably ain't gonna be able to put any of that out for a long time, maybe ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, that's crazy. So, do you, do you still have issues with the cops and stuff? Do they still have any kind of concern about it? Or are you, are you far away enough from the point in your life where they would have given a fuck about you like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's up. Uhm, so, at this point, you have a girl? Yea, I have a wife. A wife? Yes, my wife. How long you guys been wifed up for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of complications that can come about when you're running around with random girls. Yeah, for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They notice an opening. They notice when there's something to be had. Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. They'll start staring at your stuff and start fucking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your, you have a particular order, anything you order that's out of the ordinary that I need to know about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, they couldn't have found one dude with a dope restaurant in LA and just be like, yo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come out to the UK and start this shit, cause if you did, that would be on point, but they're out there, just, they're fishes out of water, they got no clue what this shit's supposed to taste like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a million restaurants out here, there ain't nothing good out there. Let me ask you, do you feel like, uh, disrespected by our president? Is that something that weighs on you, that you think about on behalf of the community?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Hell yeaah. Is that something that overall you think about is sorta, uh, going back to Mexico and finding ways that you could sorta support and interact with that community?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, see that's how it's figuring, I'm like, cause like, in general online, like when you're looking at like where a percentage of your views on music videos and shit comes from, it's like, in South America and Mexico and shit, it's like, the most rabid fan base, they're just watching the shit out of stuff on YouTube. Absolutely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, they could be really mean though. Really mean, really? Yea, and controlling it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember I was in Guadalajara, and this girl, like, we're all just drinking in her crib, and she just goes and hops in the car and starts driving around with a beer in her hand, and that was the first time I was like, oh shit, you can just do that? Like, I'm like, you have no idea how big a deal drunk driving is in America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bought a lot of things. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, she's like, if we get pulled over, you got like 20 bucks on you? I'm like, yeah. She's like, well we might need that if we get pulled over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And did they pull you over? They did not. They absolutely were not gonna pull this fucking pretty girl driving a bunch of dudes around, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shit, if they knew you had money, they probably would have. Definitely, definitely probably would have. So uhm, let me ask you about the Nipsey thing. What was your reaction when you found out about what happened to him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, were you offended when 6ix9ine was talking that shit about LA and coming out here and acting all crazy? Were you one of the people that was online?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got any artists under you? Do you have any artists that you're really fucking with in the LA scene or anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the game plan, you dropped a couple of music videos over the course of the past month. Is that all just gearing up for this project that's about to drop?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was way easier for me to make vlogs when I was like, not really that poppin', and I didn't really have to worry about all that shit, and now at a certain point it becomes like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What am I doing all day? I'm doing mad meetings. The meetings are like off limits, like shit that I can't let people out there know about. You know, it's just all this little shit going on that's not necessarily, especially if you're around like famous people, a lot of times they don't wanna just be putting their life on display and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think that's a great idea because all those kids who are watching your videos and appreciating you showing your like real lifestyle, you know, they're all eating food and they're maybe not seeing the types of food that they're eating represented on a lot of these cooking shows and shit. So if you were to like really be like, yo, this is how people actually eat where I'm from. That could go a long way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta prove that that ain't the case. Nah, I'ma be real though, that pretty much is the case from my experience. The hotter they are, the less reason they have to cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Yeaah. Yeaah. I think that would be great. My girl don't even smoke weed, I gotta figure out how to get her on it. Well then you smoke, and she cooks. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I love having a girl that knows smoke, to be honest, because I would be really annoyed if my girl was like, hey, roll up. Like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, that happened to me the other day, this porn star Riley Reeve was hanging out with my girl, and I show up at the crib and nobody's there, but there's a pound on the couch. I'm like, I swear to God, I snuck upstairs, I'm like looking around, I'm thinking that there might be like a killer in the house who just happened to leave his pound of weed on the couch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fucking Riley B left there, bro. I was, I was actually kind of shook. I'm like wondering, what the fuck are they doing? What could they be doing up here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's like, it's like, uh, in The Godfather when they leave the horse in the guy's bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, I should have pinched it though. I could have took an ouch who would have never known. Straight up. Messing out on opportunities. I mean, it could have been finessed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a fact. Uhm, alright, so you got any shoutouts, any thanks, anything we need to know before we wrap this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks. Alright, appreciate it man. It was good to get to know you. And, uh, a lot of respect for everything you're doing out here, man. For sure, brother. Appreciate you, Gene. Thank you. No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Like, comment, and subscribe. King Lil G. Wait, how'd you become King Lil G?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Casey decision opened the door for us to begin to figure out, okay, what can we do as Mississippians?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To reflect our values in our state laws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We require the informed consent to be doctor to patient, face to face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] to include a booklet of color pictures showing pictures


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Involving fetal development and requiring the doctor to point out to this woman, okay, this is where your child fits into this spectrum of pictures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, the woman had to be informed of the risk and the dangers associated with the abortion procedure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a young woman who's pregnant and she doesn't know where to turn. She feels she is in a crisis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fortunately, she has a place to go in our state and they can explain to her her options.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clinic Operators, if you're going to perform second and third trimester abortions, then we're going to raise the level of medical care that you're required to give to your patients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The issue involving being prepared to take care of the complications resulting from the procedure is far greater than the political debate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That occurs around the argument as to whether the doc can or cannot get admitting privileges.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their tactics changed. They began to see we have political clout now. And so while we have this power, we're going to chip away at Roe vs. Wade until the law is going to be on the books, but nobody will be able to access the service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Women are having the same type of obstacles placed before them in trying to access an abortion if they need one or if they choose to have one as they did before Roe vs. Wade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's either go to Jackson Women's Health or go out of the state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bulk of our doctors come from out of state. They fly in and they fly out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey guys, how's it going? I got some important stuff that I would like to talk to you about, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't get a vlog out last week because I just got back from a trip to New York where I was visiting JonTron. And that was a ton of fun, but it took up a lot of time, and then I was playing catch-up all last week, and I had to fly out for a day trip to Cincinnati, uh, for my best friend Bob's bachelor party. He's getting married in two weeks, and it was a lot of fun, but I missed out on a lot of sleep, and, and something really important happened last weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there was this communication with my audience that happened on Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr, and some of you may have missed out on it, but I basically wanted to get-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your guys' opinion on the state of the channel and how you thought I was doing, because I really do care about what you think. This is as much your channel as it is mine. And I got a lot of very interesting feedback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, about how the channel is going, uh, the direction it's going, uh, what kind of content you'd like to see. And all that was addressed, and all that we talked about in great length, and I responded to a great many people, but it also made me remember


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a lot of very important things about what this channel is. And it's not that I've forgotten entirely about what it is, it's just that there hasn't been an open dialogue between us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Charity has always been an extremely important part of me, uh, of my life and what this channel is all about. And from the get-go, and you can see this way back in one of the first vlogs I ever did, uh, after I came back from Comic Con, I wanted to set this channel apart from others because,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't just want this to be a community that cares about the games that I play or how I play them or what I'm doing in terms of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the entertainment that I do, I wanna build this community. And I wanna give you guys free entertainment, don't get me wrong, I want you guys to have fun while you're here, but the main reason...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why I need to be responsible about this huge community that we have, is that you guys-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have so much power to change the world. 2.5 million people is an enormous number in any respect. It's bigger than many countries. It's bigger than almost every city. If you put 2.5 million people in one place and unite them towards a common goal, they can do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what we need to do, and that's what I've been lacking. Because ever since I came to LA, I have been extremely busy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm not saying that as an excuse, it's just because I'm a one-man operation. I-I edit my own videos, I record everything, I do my own thumbnails, I do all of the logistics and all the communications. And when you have as many people as I do, and you're trying to stay rooted, it's so difficult to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, that's no excuse for me. I've just been saying that I'm busy and I've been dropping the ball in other departments. Now I've been helping other people with charity livestreams while I'm here. But since I got here, we haven't done our own charity livestream, which is what this channel is all about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean aside from the games, yes we play games, yes we have fun, but also we are responsible because of what we can do and what you guys can do. Because I've never stopped believing in you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never stopped understanding just how powerful we can be when we unite towards a goal. The last charity livestream we did, and I forget how many subscribers we had, we raised $80,000 for Child's Play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is an incredible number, that's huge, that's beyond everything I could have hoped for. And now that we're still growing, we're still growing incredibly fast, we- the channel's just exploding, we get so many views and so many people love what I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I need to make sure that's pointed in the right direction. Because you guys are the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. And if I don't do this responsibly, because I believe in you, and I know that you're good people and I know that together we can do great things, but if we don't do it, if we don't take the time out of our day to do it, then all that is wasted and all that's lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm gonna say this right now. I'm gonna get back into doing monthly charity livestreams no matter what. No matter what. There's always going to be a charity effort every month. No matter how much time I have left, I'm going to dedicate that to doing at least one charity livestream a month. Because that was my original promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's no excuse for not doing that. Unless they're like, every single weekend I'm flying out somewhere, which has happened over the past few months. There have been weekends where I'm just, I'm flying from here to there all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if that is the case, I will have something set up so that we can always dedicate ourselves to bettering the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the next charity livestream is going to be July 12th, I believe is the next open weekend that I have in the future. So please mark your calendars for July 12th. If that changes at any time, I will let you know in advance, but I'm gonna dedicate myself to hitting that target. I don't know what charity we're gonna be doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't know, uh, what effort we're gonna be doing it through, but we are going to be having a 12 hour live stream on July 12th, so that you and I can get together and really try to better the world. Because,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys have so much power and I thank you guys for watching my videos and I thank you guys for being here for me and this community that we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is just so incredible. I've always been so proud of what you guys have done. Compared to many of the communities on YouTube, even at our worst, we are far and away better than some of the most, uh, vitriolic communities out there on YouTube. And that's because you are all good people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I believe in what you do, and I want you guys to be able to succeed and be proud, and have your dreams come true, and I can't connect on a personal level to make sure that happens, but I can make sure that we all, together, unite towards something good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's something that I'm never, ever going to forget. No matter how big this channel grows, no matter how many people, even though I may be a one man operation from now, if it takes the point where I need to hire employees to help me communicate with you guys to dedicate ourselves and grow bigger and actually, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe even the future, like I have a dream to create a Markiplier charity foundation that is just dedicated as a non-profit to benefit the world. I wanna do that someday. And I know that you guys have given me the opportunities. So, just understand that together, we have so much power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing something for the first time, taking advantage of this new resource, you don't always know what you don't know. And over time, what we learned is very, very scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Natural gas from an economic perspective, the costs that were passed on consumers in terms of lower energy bills was a net plus. And then we saw that fitting squarely in the climate agenda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing something for the first time, taking advantage of this new resource. You don't always know what you don't know. And over time, what we learned about methane emissions as it relates to natural gas is very, very scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Obama administration tried to be very conscious of everything, all the implications of the shale revolution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but at the time, I think early Obama administration years, we didn't have access to the kinds of information that we


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would have liked to and needed to have had to take the proper regulatory steps to ensure a safe and climate friendly production is possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just casually saying bye to everybody. I'm going to the store. Ohhh, you wanna pull up and get your clout? Why you got a backwards fucking bag and I don't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world, and today I'm in here with Glasses Malone. How you doing? Man, I'm cold, man. What's happening? Having a good time. Nice to finally get to have a chat with you. We've been talking about this for a minute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, you got a little bit of a hype around yourself right now because you chose to make this bold artistic leap with this new video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really crazy because, you know, you think about that, or I think about it a little bit whenever I hear about any, like, tragedy in hip-hop with somebody getting killed or whatever is that you know there's another side to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that anytime some local hero gets murdered, that there's people out there who are thinking, nah, he deserved it because he did this, this, and this. Was that part of the motivation to want to tell the other side of the Tupac story?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is kind of interesting because I feel like at this point it seems like people pretty much know how the Tupac situation unfolded but you don't hear a lot about it because I think in the early period after he passed for like maybe 10 years or so like now you have people coming out doing interviews talking about it but for a long time it didn't seem like there was much


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so you know anyone who was like friends with Orlando Anderson? Right. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know people who sold sherm and told me that they just spent like a couple years of their life just in their house going crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a real story. That's crazy, cause I just read this book about Pimp C and man, like, there's so many people in that story who basically smoked sherm and then lost their mind and ended up killing somebody or anything, like the wildest shit you ever heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, getting back to the Tupac thing though, like you, I feel like you intentionally knew that you wanted to not just make a dope record, but also like kind of present it and market it in a way that would get a lot of people's attention, like the tweet that came with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably realized that you were running it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Head first into a burning building in a sense with that because you know that there's a lot of people that are going to be offended by it and then they're going to watch it. And anybody who got half a brain going to see it and sort of realize on the first watch like, oh, okay, this is what he's trying to do. But a lot of people might still be mad as fuck about it. What was your thought process on what the reaction was going to be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's crazy is that there's so many people who existed before this modern age where all the things, all the messy shit that they were involved with and shit like, I sometimes think about that with Martin Luther King. Like if Martin Luther King existed in this day and age,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To what extent would the media and the, you know, his political opponents, etc. even allow us to view him as this perfect, infallible human being? Or, I mean, I guess we know that he had faults, that he cheated on his wife, that he might have been involved in whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to what extent, like, are there people out there right now that we might be tempted to, like, we don't really think of anyone as a superhero. We think of everybody as being human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are people in our past, from the 70s or 80s or 90s, even Tupac is an example of people who have this larger than life image, despite the fact that there were plenty of things recorded that are basically examples of them not being so perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this, that effect that we're talking about where people, you know, after his passing started to treat Tupac like a god, do you see some of that with the reaction to Nipsey passing? Hell yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, yea, if it was some super random ass person saying all this shit about Tupac, it might be a different conversation, but you kinda came into it saying, I know I got enough respect to make my point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thing is, is that he had to learn the most basic, obvious fucking lesson in the world, but he had to learn it again. Like every new-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generation of kids, they gotta learn the most obvious shit. If you blow up and become a millionaire and you are not a gangbanger, do not go and try to click up with some gangbangers because they're gonna take you for everything you got and they're gonna introduce all kinds of shit into your life that you do not want. If you are living a safe, clean life, keep on living that safe, clean life, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause these are just some dudes who, you know, they're doing their gang banging thing, whatever that might mean to them, but they're, you know, keeping their noses clean, staying out of trouble, whatever. Just living, just trying to get some money. All of a sudden they get put under the craziest microscope you could ever be under, just cause they wanted that little bit of clout from, from hanging out with this kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me ask you this, is there anything that you've ever seen in LA gang politic history that's even close to how fucked up that 6ix9ine situation went down? Because we've seen a lot of different, you know, sort of celebrity gang bangers sort of get introduced to being with a crew after they were already rich and famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. That's so true. Hey, let me ask you, uh, can you contextualize this? Cause me as like a fucking young ass rap fan, I knew you as, okay, that's one of the dudes that's with game. And then soon after, this is one of the dudes that's with cash money and Wayne and shit. So how did you go from just being a kid growing up in LA?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To coming out in the music industry with game and shit. Tell me, tell me about how you even got to that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now it's super normal for Crips and Bloods to be cool with each other, especially on music industry shit, but at the time, was this pretty out of the ordinary that you were even in that room, nevermind that you were comfortable enough to say your shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you don't want to like make it out like you are that concerned about it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that song became like a blueprint for the fact that you are actually nice, but where does it go from there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That made you feel like, no matter what he did, that he didn't really fuck with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What were you seeing in the conversations with Cash Money that you weren't seeing from, you know, you mentioned Jay, all these other people that were reaching out. What was Cash Money bringing to the table?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you've seen a lot of people who came out and seemed super tight with Birdman, you know, there's a lot of people coming to mind, Young Thug comes to mind, etc., who like, they come out, they seem super tight with him for a period of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it just seems like it sort of evaporates over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with Birdman, it's like, it's very public, cause as soon as somebody starts messing with him, everybody in the rap game knows it, and they see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's important to draw the distinction between like producers and dudes who just make beats on this conversation because there's a million dudes who make beats, but when you're talking about like really putting a song together and making it sound amazing and everything like that, it feels like that's a more limited thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seem like you have actually like a different perspective than a lot of people would in this situation where you're still like passionately an advocate for a lot of these artists from your same class that you've seen succeed on crazy ass levels that like you still feel passionate about the music and you don't feel disgruntled in any way. Man, I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, when you look at like a lot of people you just named like Kendrick and, uh, J-Rock and even Nipsey, super talented rappers that made highbrow content to whatever extent, highbrow gangster music and it did well and they were successful with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you ever worry that the game is shifting to a point where dumb shit is kind of the rule and that real talented dudes who make shit that might not be immediately accessible


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you ever feel like you have to hold back a little bit on what is going on inside your brain to make shit marketable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that is what it is to be part of a label like Cash Money is that, you know, Drake comes along, alright, attention's on Drake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you still managed to fall back and sort of let the cycle take place. Like if you have a project you want to put out and all of a sudden they got these big projects that are clearly got to come out. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy now cause you, you don't even think twice when you see some gaming shit in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me, uh, ask you this. So, the, the, the Tupac Must Die project that you just recently, or the song that you just recently dropped, is there a project coming along with this? Is it part of a overall larger plan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think like no matter where your career is at, if you can still have that as your objective is like, it's not about me coming out and selling a million records. It's not about me making a million dollars off of this song, but I just want to put something out that I can really stand behind. Like with that song, you know that you're going to be able to look at that in 10 years and still be like, that's it right there. That's what I wanted to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's different than like a Tiger style comeback where you're like, alright, we're gonna fall ass in titties to make this shit hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd rather be a great version of yourself, the best version of yourself than a mediocre version of somebody else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just remember that you had that viral tweet about Nipsey's, uh, Crayola color. You told him the name of the new shade of blue, Nipsey Blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that was what made me think, like, god damn, I should do an interview with glasses, that would be crazy. And I heard from him in a minute, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate it. Uhm, alright, Glasses Malone is a great conversation. We just clocked it in in an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciate your mentality on putting out content. It's like the kind of thing that I feel like anybody who's been doing their thing for a minute could, could definitely use the fucking readjustment that you just described in terms of like how to keep your head straight in this game for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like it. Glasses Malone, no jumper. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Like, comment, and subscribe. Just like that. Just like that. Appreciate you man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing a world of good for our economy, energy security, and are irreplaceable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We called it the Traveler. And its arrival changed us forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great cities were built on Mars and Venus. Mercury became a garden world. Human lifespan tripled. It was a time of miracles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was our destiny to walk in the light of other stars. But the traveler had an enemy. A darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which had hunted it for eons across the black gulfs of space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Centuries after our golden age began, this darkness found us. And that was the end of everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a time when we were much more powerful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until it wakes and finds its voice, I am the one who speaks for the traveler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In its dying breath, the traveler created the ghosts to seek out those who can wield its light as a weapon. Guardians to protect us and do what the traveler itself no longer can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could tell you of the great battle centuries ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could tell you of the power of the darkness, its ancient enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are many tales told throughout the city to frighten children.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Join them. Your ghost will guide you. I only hope he chose wisely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We believe the Hive are engaged in a ritual that is draining the traveller of its light. Whatever power they wield must be understood and destroyed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the turn of the century, they were making on the order of five billion dollars a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm disappointed, I'm angry, I'm disenchanted at the duplicity exhibited by Exxon Mobil to say one thing internally and to say a different thing with a much different consequence in the political arena.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My ambition when I joined Exxon was to keep doing my science. And I was blown away doing all kinds of really interesting earth science research at technical levels above what was happening even in top universities. And not only was it appreciated, but it was for a reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People need energy to live and we were providing that energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the scientific staff were there and Art got up and gave his presentation about how ice core records were unreliable and here were temperature excursions in the past when there couldn't possibly be any human influence and here's all these reasons why we really don't have to worry about climate change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He didn't clearly state it, but the subtext appeared to be that his bosses didn't believe that climate change was something to be concerned about. There was kind of stunned silence in the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ExxonMobil is a very polite place. In that context, the reaction was quite remarkable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Translated in modern parlance, if my children were explaining the reaction I'd say, are you nuts? No!


[User] Please transcribe this text
