[Assistant] I just feel like keep working. I feel like it's more of a London thing. Generally, I just feel like London, uhm, whole music scene needs to just be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how, but get some light on it. And obviously it's coming now. Hence why you're here. Hence why everyone at Wireless is shutting it down. Things are coming. So as London gets more light on it, people just start seeing what all the artists are doing. And that's all it is. I feel like that's America's basically the same thing, but they got the whole world looking at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the day it's people, like people don't seem to realise that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] America's got how many states and China's how big, like London's very, very small. Like you will see that our artists is here with how much views just like the Americans, probably most Instagrams ain't got that much followers because generally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our city's so small, like, we can't consume as much as the outer world. So like you're saying, once people start gauging in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All them chunks of people, that's streams, that's for me, that's how I see it. All these other islands, that's streams, that's more people, that's you charting, that's you going number one, like, and it's coming, like you're saying innit, people are locking in and they're starting to see what's really happening in London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I play game. I'm not going to lie. I play like Fortnite. That's one of mine. Obviously I ain't played it as much recently, but I'm a gamer. I would say you're pretty decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm more of a COD guy though. Okay. Cooler duty. Just trying to keep up with the times. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. But it's getting, I don't know, they're doing too much to it now. Really? For like, they're throwing too much things in it. But uhm, yeah, gaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well, I was taking holidays. I really like taking holidays and when I took a lot of holidays for work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, rap wise. So I'm on holiday. I'm linking da da da da da studio late night. Like, I like taking holidays and actually with my family, I do that a lot and just relax. Like. Yeah, definitely. You have to be. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what, maybe just America is, like you're saying, it's kinda like London, but in America you kinda, you gotta go somewhere to make it. I feel like in America, if you're from this state, all the way down north in Buck City or whatever they call it, like, you're gonna have to go to LA to pursue your dream, so you might have to leave your family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, facts. Uhm, in terms of London, is that how it is out here? Yeah. Like, especially for me anyway, where I'm from, people wanna see me succeed. They wanna see, like, they're rooting for me. And I feel like, especially if you're speaking on all the rappers in London, where I'm from, Ponymo's got the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, popping rappers, I would say. We started the game, I just keep it chill, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] South London started this industry that we have now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, um, visually I want to start taking it to a next level. Like with my visuals, so for anyone looking now, what you're going to see in the future is going to be totally different. I want to take the visuals to a whole next level. And obviously that, I feel like once you take your visuals to a next level, that's what shows people that you're on a different kind of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, facts. It's just a, it's a computer around the world. Anyone can tap into it, so. You really gotta work on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, shout out Dirt, shout out Nudie, shout out Zay. Uhm, New Wave London, make sure you lot check it out. Shout out Adam, Fumos, make sure you tap in Noughts and Crosses, that way. Love my guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello everybody, Markiplier here, and thank you guys so much for being with me through a thousand videos! It's, it's hard to even imagine how we've gotten from this point, and I really wanted to do something special for the thousand subscriber milestone, er, not thousand subscriber, thousand video milestone, and,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think this video is really gonna explain to you guys how I got from point A to point B. And how you guys have helped change my life. Because, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These things are really important to me because they tell how I became the person that I am. And I really do appreciate you guys for sticking with me. So here we go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was born on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Oahu, which is the third largest island of Hawaii, and home to the city of Honolulu, where I was born on a military base. My dad was a career army man, he had been in the army 23 years before he retired, and apparently, while he was stationed in Korea, he met my mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pretty common story I've heard, but the result of that meeting was me, a beautiful baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's not really beautiful there, but my artistic skills are lacking. Anyway! Regardless of all of that, I was born, and I was born awesome. And muscular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a gigantic baby apparently, which my mom reminds me of every once in a while. I was ten pounds and three ounces, and therefore they named me Mark. All muscle of course. Don't doubt me!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly after I was born, my dad retired from the military to pick up a job as a layout artist for a book company of some sort. But, either way, we ended up in Cincinnati, Ohio of all places. Not really sure why, because I don't think we really have any family here. Eh, either way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We moved into this awesome home with a gigantic backyard that led into these really amazing woods where me and my brother spend most of our time. I mean, if we weren't on the computer, we were out in the woods playing in the creek, uh, picking up tadpoles, cutting vines, swinging on them. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We really bonded together over those woods, and that's one of the things that I miss most about that house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we weren't in the woods, we were playing on this magical device called the computer that my dad introduced us to at a very early age. I mean seriously, this thing blew my mind at the time because I could not imagine ever living without it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he told me stories about how computers were ancient and filled up entire rooms, but I was just flabbergasted that it could do what it did. I didn't even know about the internet back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were a few games on the computer, but the real experience that I got from gaming came from the Super Nintendo system that my brother got for Christmas. I mean, this thing was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason that me and my brother are so close today because we played so many games together with it. That's my brother over on the left. His name is Tom, and that's me on the right. As you can tell, I am still more awesome. But, he's a pretty cool guy and I don't think I'd be who I am today without him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sadly, it wasn't all happy times back then. My dad and my mom fought a lot, and by fought a lot, I mean my mom fought a lot, and my dad had to reciprocate. Uhm, she wasn't happy where she was, and, well, we didn't understand why, but me and my brother just tried to distract ourselves with video games. You know, try to ignore it when we can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But eventually that stopped working. It was pretty inevitable, but the divorce finally came. And we were pretty sad, but we were more sad to see our dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda cave in. I mean, we were out of money, half the income was gone, so, uh, we had to lose the house, we didn't- couldn't buy as many games as we had before, so we lost out on a lot of gaming, but at least we got to keep the computer, and that's what really sparked my love of computers and technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should also mention that I was a pretty dumb kid. Me and my brother had a contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we would try to jump as high as we could off the stairs, and see who could land on a cushion at the bottom. I was gonna win, but I ended up cracking my skull open on the bottom step. This will make more sense later, but as I mentioned before, I was a dumb kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we moved out of the house, uhm, I could no longer go to the private school that we were going to, which was perfectly fine with me, cause I didn't really care, but it's all that I knew. I didn't even understand what lockers were all about when I went to the new school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, just everything was perfectly foreign to me and I- I didn't have an escape, I didn't go to the woods anymore, and I lost pretty much all of my friends and had to start all over. It was a pretty dark time for me because I had no idea what I was doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, I made some friends, but I accidentally did something else stupid, and I was having a how far at the monkey bars can you jump contest, and I was gonna win, but I ended up falling on the ground and, uhm, breaking my arm, like, really badly. Both bones and stuff, they were popping out everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is actually a good thing. That's my brother there, Shock. But this is a good thing because this led, uh, to me finding some friends. And you may ask, well, how did that happen? Well, it happened like this. I had a cast on my arm and couldn't do things like sharpen my pencil. So this really awesome guy named Drew decided that he was gonna help me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Drew is a tall redhead, but he was a cool guy anyway. He also got me more into band, which is where I made a bunch more friends. And where I blew his face off with my awesome trumpeting skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually, after dating around for a long time, my dad found someone that we could all agree on. She was pretty much the nicest person that we ever met, and her name was D. I mean, I agreed with her because she bought us a PlayStation 2, and I was pretty excited at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, she did something that we couldn't do at that time, and she made my dad happy. And that was pretty much the most important thing that anyone could do. And from then on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] High school started to become a breeze. I was moving through the grades, you know, doing fine. Being a good student, I made a lot of great friends, both in band and out of band. Uhm, I got to play some great games, you know. I was really happy with what I'd done, like Half-Life 2 and stuff. And I had a few girlfriends here and there, you know, and that's always pretty fun when you're just a young teenager and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, first experiencing the wonders of a relationship and making out and stuff. Uh, that was pretty cool and all in all, things were looking up from that period where we didn't really have anything and didn't have games again and we're kinda unhappy drifting through life, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He- he put a piece of paper in front of me, and uh, just let me read it without saying anything, and I- I was a pretty smart kid, so I understood every word that it said, all the techno mumbo jumbo, but the main thing is that, uhm, in basically big bold letters it said, cancer. And the really bad kind of cancer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a really tough time for me because I, I kinda lost sight of what I was doing. Everything seemed kinda clear to me before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But right now everything was kinda just getting away from me. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Which was make video games. I wanted to do it, my dad didn't agree with me, but I thought that was what I was gonna do. However.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started to realize that games might not work, so I kinda put that off the table and focused on going to engineering. I was originally in civil engineering, but moved into biomedical engineering because they had a medical school program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that didn't work out either. I didn't wanna do that. So I flip-flopped back to engineering again, and then I thought, hey, if I'm gonna do what I wanna do, I gotta do games, and I really couldn't decide what I was gonna do with my life. I was kinda at a crossroads and just frustrated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, one year later, we were all home for summer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my dad was getting pretty bad with cancer and he wasn't himself anymore. But one morning...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were all woken up by my stepmom, Dee, screaming. And we went downstairs to see that my dad was dying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I didn't think that I could get out anymore, and I was stuck in these mind-numbing co-op jobs that were literally me sitting at a computer, eight hours a day, doing two hours worth of work, and nothing else. It was absolutely horrible, and I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I didn't have time for games, I didn't have an escape, I had no idea what I was gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I kinda drifted for a few years. And I dated in and out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what we're going to call her for now. Her name will be Barbara with a C.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, I finally, uh, brought her to my mom, who I was living with, because, uh, after my dad died, I didn't have my own place, and SHE did not approve, which made me a- madden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was kinda confused. I was very upset because my mom got so mad that she eventually kicked me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This- there's more to it than that, but that's basically the long and the short of it. So I got mad, and she got mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I went off and get my own apartment because I had a job at the time, that crummy co-op job, but it was still a job. Unfortunately, after I got my new place, my boss told me three days before I was supposed to come in for the new quarter that I didn't need to show up. Which made me more mad. But I didn't yell at my boss, professionalism and all that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the end of the day, I was running out of money and my girlfriend wasn't helping me and then she started getting mad at me. For not being able to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do something or other, I can't really remember why she was mad, she was mad so often. But eventually this caused a schism in the relationship, and the stress started to get to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was sadder and sadder than I was before, and I just couldn't be in the relationship anymore, but after we left each other, I was stuck alone in my apartment,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I didn't know what to do. And I had this suspicious pain in my side that turned into extraordinary pain in my side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this extraordinary pain plagued me for a bit until one day I woke up in so much pain that I had to go to the hospital. So I went to the hospital where they told me that my appendix was about the size of a beach ball and needed to come out immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They also told me that I had a tumor the size of a fist in my adrenal gland and that needed to come out too. But at a later date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was pretty shocking news, and on top of everything that had happened already, I was pretty much stressed enough as it is. But I managed to truck through it somehow, thankfully for reconciling with my mom, and my stepmom was still there for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The surgeries went well, and I ended up recovering in the hospital for about two weeks. And had a lot of time to think about what I'd done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the more thinking I did, the more frustrated I became. Just, it seemed like everything in my life was completely out of my control, and I had no choice in the matter. So finally, I decided that enough was enough, and I was gonna do what I wanted. But I was still stuck in the hospital, so I got angrier every day. GRR!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I finally did get out of the hospital, I decided that I was gonna do my own thing. And what I decided I was gonna do was gonna be sketch comedy videos. So I ended up using my tax refund that I had, uh, to buy a camera. I ended up doing very little with this camera immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I decided to focus on a few more things before I got started. I got better with my grades in engineering, I decided to dedicate myself to playing games that I wanted to play, and then eventually I decided that I was gonna make my own identity on the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more specifically, on YouTube, where I was able to start a channel that finally made me happy. I-I didn't even care that I didn't have that many subscribers in the beginning, because even the few people that did watch me, I was more than happy to do everything it took to entertain them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as I kept playing, things started exploding. Like the subscriber count went crazy, and now I have more subscribers than I know what to do with. And I'm just happy that anyone watches my videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what really changed my life. And it's happened very recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like before, I was totally out of control of everything. And now, I'm finally able to do what I love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So thank you guys. Sincerely. I owe everything in my life right now to the support that you have given me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now we're able to change the world, do good, raise money for charity, do just everything we want to do to help improve the world. And I am so grateful that you guys decided that I was worthy enough to subscribe to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sincere- sincerely, thank you guys so much. I owe you everything that I have now. And I wouldn't have it any other way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys are the best fans in the world. So thank you again. So much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a time in the late 70s that your company spent a lot of money at that time to say is there an alternative fuel that will work so that we don't have to burn fossil fuels and put all that CO2 in the oxygen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of a mouthful, but alright. Speaking of that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what I've been reduced to. Relying on such pitiful mortal creatures for my plans. Though he does have a cool throne and a metal face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That won't be necessary, Mr. Richards. Uh, fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't make me tell. You are not the god of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ignore him. We must focus on the task at hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dooms plan? A weapon? Lightning you have? Imagination you don't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our climate is changing very dramatically and it's time for us to start acting on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In those years, there was still a spirit of bipartisanship when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really important challenges to the public interest appeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could work across the uh, political aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then President-elect Clinton understood clearly that that's why I was on the ticket, that's why I agreed to run as Vice President.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A task that I set for myself entering


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The White House and I went to work right away to try to get a carbon tax in our first budget plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was extremely disappointing to not get the votes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just the raw power of all the money that they threw into this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we just decided to regroup and try to skin the cat a different way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This issue of global climate change will be discussed by more than 120 different countries in Berlin. This administration will be at the forefront of this global effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted the United States of America to lead the world community.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To agree on a set of global initiatives and policies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The United States is committed to reaching 1990 levels of greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2000. Let us make sure that our next steps are the right ones. Thank you very much. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was in no way possible to get a global treaty with a proposal that the poorest countries in the world would have to take the same obligations that the wealthy countries were undertaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was the formula that the world agreed was the only way to make progress toward a truly global agreement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the fossil fuel companies took that feature of the agreement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And made that a bet and war. They made that a politically salient issue that they used to, uh, to great effect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To those who seek to obfuscate and obstruct, we say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will not allow you to put narrow special interests above the interests of all humankind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was intent that they would not win the war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it became clear to me at that point that it was gonna be a longer war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A man standing beside me today has what it takes to lead this nation from the day we take office. Senator Al Gore of Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will finally give the United States a real environmental presidency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is environmentally responsible. It will help us in the future as well as in the present with the deficit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is most unfortunate. I think that means we'll owe Nick Fury a few favors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As this is, after all, a nation addicted to its cars and to the idea of driving down the open road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help you? There's nothing you can do!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got basically, I got punished for serving humble pot to somebody. So yesterday, after the show's over, I'm on the PlayStation, like chat. Like the PlayStation PS5 chat. So I got a bunch of notifications. So I'm looking at it and I'm scrolling through the messages and it's this guy who got added into the group and he was basically, he wanted to play mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so he comes in, nobody knows who he is, but the one guy that added him in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was basically saying like, who is this random guy that y'all just added? So the guy took it as complete disrespect and he started calling everybody the B word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say, set it up, set it up. So we playing the game, I had the cowboys, he got the Jets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 23 to nothing, second quarter. So you know how to rule. You winning? Yea, I'm up. 23 to nothing. That's game. That's game. But he wanted to continue playing. Game. So I'm like, okay, that's fine. My wife brings me my plate of food over. So now, I'm sitting here, I'm halfway playing, but I'm eating my food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He comes back 23 to 14 and he screenshots it and puts it in the chat and calls me to b-word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what the score was in the fourth quarter when he decided to quit? 42. 64 to 14.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they took my account name off. So if y'all didn't know, my PlayStation, uh, gamer tag was MILFS and COOKIES. I can't, they, they took it away. I can't use it. MILFS and COOKIES? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I met your wife twice when we did the barber shop and then last year at the comedy show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes! Yes, he can. Why? Because he has more weapons. And, you know, when I think about it, you gotta think about, okay, yes, he had DeAndre Hopkins, who was, you know, one of the top wide receivers at the time, uhm, to throw to. But outside of that,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he had Hopkins that year. Hopkins was not there in 2020. Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well see that, and okay, so now it comes down to that. Do you like Kevin Stefanski as a play call or Bill O'Brien? I mean, that's... Well, obviously everything around...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Are you saying that he can't, cause mister, he getting 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, that now all of a sudden 5 racks is too much? Please don't summon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he did that with no D-hop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He too more, he too dang here. Nah, I'm, I'm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many yards did he have? Patty. No, Patty and when he threw the 50 touchdown. We'll get to it later. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you saying that you won't take the risk is because you don't trust Kevin Stefanski as a play caller. That's what it tells me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many games, how many preseason games did Deshawn play last year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He looked really good this preseason. I know it's preseason, but I still think it has some implications of what you can see, especially with some of the plays that Kevin was calling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ligera Blood got like the most Russian touchdowns in the season with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Million times! I'm just saying, it's hard to beat seven rings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're 100% right. But I think that- What? If he- It would be, it would, this could end up being like the, the, the LeBron and Jordan conversation. If, if, let me ask you this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter who he's playing with, he'll make them better. At the end of the day, he's still got the most unguardable tight end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Wow. Oh, take it to the bank. Take it to the bank. Yes. Like you're not even going to make the playoffs? No, I won't say that. I ain't going to take it that far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As great as he is. I think Joe Burrow deserves just a tad more, uh, respect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'ma tell you why. Because we be sayin' that it's Patrick Mahomes and then Skip A Line and it's Joe Burrell. Skip A Couple Lines, Joe Burrell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be a little bit closer because Joe Burrow, we seen Patrick Mahomes go to a Super Bowl. His offensive line was gone. He lost. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben, when you look at that second there, you got Cheeto coming back from his injury, you replacing two safeties. How confident are you, and you got a second, what is it, a second year in Cam Taylor? Yeah. How confident are you that they get things up to speed and they are able to click right away going up against these bronze wide receivers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ben, let me talk about the Browns here. You know, Miles Gere and O- and training camp at OTA's has lived in the backfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And obviously Cincinnati has gone out and got Orlando Brown Jr. And I guess they asked him about, you know, how, what he thought about Miles Garrett. He gave him a bunch of high praises and they saying that he said that he played them five times and only giving up one sack. So with that being said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you expect to see on Sunday between these two?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Alright. Nope. And that's the, if the game is close, like if the score is close. Yeah. Jamar Chase runs away with it. If the Browns comes out and wipe the floor with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, it's just health reasons and the fact that when you get down in that red zone, I think that's where, you know, things get interesting. Obviously, Nick Chubb is always a threat, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a quarterback that can run, which he showed us he can do in a preseason game, that becomes a way he can score. And then having Elijah Moore, you know, they like to do that little touch pass where they, the jet motion where he touches, like that's a pass and touchdown for him. So I think that Elijah Moore becomes special down there and I just think that they got more weapons down there to score.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got, they have two weapons. They have Jamar Chase and T Higgins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he had four to start off last season, you should be going for five. Joe Mixon does not fumble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he gets upset about these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah Moore. Ah, you're not. 122 Elijah Moore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just after week one? No, just in general. Well, he got the best chance because if Cheeto is healthy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna, well they're gonna spot shadow of Martin Cooper no matter what. Mike Hilton's gonna be on Elijah Moore. So the last X Factor is DPJ. And Ben Baby, who had almost nothing to say about the TV coverage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stay behind the glass. I caught myself after I said it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's going to be some adjustments and what's going to happen is they're going to start running more quick game just to get the ball out of there. If that offensive line can't handle what the Browns is doing, there's going to be a lot of quick game to get the ball out. Which is where, if you think about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Super Bowl win, the Broncos played the Panthers and Von Miller went crazy. What they should have did was they should have ran a quick game because their offensive line couldn't do it. So boom, get the ball out. I think that's what would happen if they find out that their offensive line can't handle the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's kind of a dack. I don't think Justin Fields should be better than Hurts. Jayla Hurts this season. Go Bucs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be crazy. You should think about that. That'd be crazy. 48 hours of me having to answer questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, it's pretty straight forward. I mean, I don't know if anybody would really argue this. Uhm, those are literally the best 17 Jacksonville's in a terrible division.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people are out on the Chargers this year, but I know they did obviously gut they whole coaching staff instead of the head coach. I mean the AFC is deep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just, I like- Miami? I wanted to throw Pittsburgh in there. Miami don't got Jalen Ramsey, and even though I'm not really high on him, he still is a playmaker, so. Who you hate more?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Chargers. And the reason I went with them is because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have pieces on defense that I like, like, you know, with Joey Bosa being really good. Go Bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the offense, obviously, Justin Herbert, Austin Eckler, you got Mike Williams, Kenan Allen and all, and then they just drafted a kid from TCU, so I just like what they have there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New Orleans is going to win that division. That's why they going to make it. San Francisco I'm very high on. I like what they got with the defensive tackle position going to get Javon Hargraves. They got Nick Bosen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am. I'm a believer in Kyle Shanahan's offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's like a Dak Prescott, but can win in the pole season. Oh ho ho ho, wow. What? Pretty harsh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it is, man. That's what it is. Wow, that's in the Super Bowl. Yeaah, I think that. I'm beli- I'm really drinking that Kool-Aid because Ann Rogers just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He do make a difference. And I sat back and I thought about it and they really made some really good key off-season moves just by getting him, having Lazar come over, still having Garrett Wilson. I think McCall Hartman is still that nice speedy guy. He brought this guy Randall Cobb there too. Oh yea. No, but he's another guy he's comfortable with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, and I, and their defense has always been really good. They were just a quarterback away. Plus I got a lot of respect for Robert Salah, him being my former defensive coordinator. I know the type of coach that he is. So I kind of believe that they will go to the Super Bowl this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see it, because I think I got Joe, I got Joe Burrow winning MVP as well. Jay Jedis, office player of the year, because they gonna just feed Jay Jedis. Miles Garrett is gonna go crazy. Bijon Robinson is going to be the Falcons offense. Jalen Carter is a beast in that middle. I think he actually is going to, with everybody that's around him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this kind of kills a lot of things, but I think he actually is going to get a lot of TFLs and get some sacks from just being in the middle of that defense. And I forgot that Brian Dayball won it last year, but then nobody said you couldn't win it back to back because a lot of people are out on them this year. So he gonna go have, he might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't he go to the route guy? Route cave?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? It's eleven personnel teams, three receivers on the field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah, Amari Cooper, MVP Deshaun Watson, Coach of the Year, Kevin Stefanski, Rookie of the Year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chump check? Nah, he signed the bag. Is this what he was with the Raptors?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Utah a heavy tax city? I don't know. Is Ohio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did Duncan Robinson get? Cause he didn't see the court, but he showed up in the playoffs this year. Alright, so the next four. We have four left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's top two to me. Yanis, Kyrie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was obviously a lot of people that knew something was going on and they didn't do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was obviously a lot of people that knew something was going on. And they didn't do anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like somebody should pay for, for what all these boys went through because people knew


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The struggle for supremacy is eternal. Inevitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Victory is the natural objective of every creature on this world. They will kill and die for their kind to dominate. Some call this eternal struggle equilibrium. The balance between light and darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Men of faith claim that this is a test from God to strengthen our spirit. Perhaps this is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I follow him into the old forest, watching him from afar. He is strong indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one god comes to drive out the many, but here, in this place, god's influence is thin and threadbare. The old god still holds sway here. Few venture this far into the wood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is disturbed by dreams, dreams that know what is very soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will rest for the night, but rest will not come easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The battle has left him weakened, but he knows the dream will return, and though he fears nothing on this earth, yet his nightmares sap the strength within him and leave a cold grip on his heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tomorrow he will use the old hunting path. Long has it been in disuse, but for now, he dreams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What motivates a man to confront the challenges that most of us would run from? Condemning him to solitude, exposing him to defeat and death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loss of love can make a man desperate. Desperate enough to do anything to bury the truth. To hide from its pain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alone again with only his thoughts as company, he continues on his journey to find the one he seeks. Who or what was that strange creature?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a power here that few know, a power that could have some influence on events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps the guardian of the lake is aware of him now and offers aid in his quest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is just the small matter of the dead bog to overcome. A place that has claimed the lives of many of the Brotherhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The smell of death is strong here, and danger lies around every corner, but nothing will stop him. Nothing will stand in his way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stench of the bog fades into memory, and a land of great beauty lies before him. A paradise where nature lives in harmony with all living creatures. Indeed, a refuge for those who wish it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is close now, close to the old gods and the old ways, long forgotten by men. This kingdom was once revered by all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet now only a small part remains. Soon even this will disappear. The amulet senses its master. Its journey is almost over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will need all his strength now, all his wits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he is to succeed here, if he is to convince the old god to help him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see the doubt in his eyes as he heads towards the lake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Pan is helping him now. That's good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps it bodes well. I wonder if he knows what awaits him here in this place where the dead can contact the living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is cold now. A chill wind blows through his heart. I can see it. Feel it. He will need help if he is to succeed. He must not fail. He will not fail. Not now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not yet. Not if I have anything to do with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't help but overhear what she told you. It sounds like the spirits who founded our order are trying to tell us something very important through her. What do you mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only that the founders of the order seem to be using the dead to communicate with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] the prophecy has been secret for many centuries it is known only to a select few


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is written that a pure-hearted warrior will claim the power of the Lords of Shadow as his own, and use it in order to overcome all evil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is said this warrior would become God's vassal on earth, supremely powerful. He could do anything. The founding spirits have not abandoned us, Gabriel. Thanks to your Marie, we now know there is some hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take this. It will allow you to absorb spiritual energy and will help cure your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We part ways, he and I. My instincts tell me he is filled with hope. A hope that will drive him ever onwards. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps he is the one, a warrior of pure heart who can deliver us from all evil. Perhaps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what went through his mind when he saw her there, his beloved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did he see his dreams? Or did he see his future blown away like leaves on the wind?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spy him as he heads out towards the reaches of Pan's influence. A forest lies to the east that leads to the land of the Lycans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ruin of an ancient civilization is there, forgotten and decaying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once a proud testament to man's ingenuity and vision, it has now been conquered by nature, as she claims all things for her own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is becoming stronger with every step he takes. His prowess in battle is undeniable. He will need it now. Goblins are one thing, but there are other creatures in the dark places of the world. Creatures who know nothing of his plight, but fight for their very survival.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many fallen brothers are testament to this. Indeed, their bleached bones adorn the tortuous tunnels in this godforsaken place. He runs ever onward into peril.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder who the prey is, and who is the hunted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps when the time comes, these creatures will know fear as they look into the eye of their quarry. Go, my friend, save your love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he has found another of Gandalfi's upgrades. This was unforeseen, though it should prove useful in the challenges to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lost city of Aghartha looms before him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if you know what truly lies ahead for you, Gabriel. What God has in store for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The land of the lycans. This ruined city now belongs to their lord, and you can be sure he will not allow you to pass without forfeiture of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in order to bring her back, you need to defeat him, my friend. You need to crush him into the dust, like the worm that he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This ancient city occupies many layers, each one being the foundation for the next. It is a labyrinthine maze of dead ends and forgotten walkways. Danger lurks around every corner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has shown great resilience, but this journey will take him longer than anticipated and deeper than any man has ever ventured in centuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will need all his wits to find an alternative route into the heart of the city, where his destiny awaits him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lycans were innumerable, and the city was razed to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The necromantic wars, as they were known, destroyed the advanced technologies that the Agatians had closely guarded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually the titans fell, and then the people were massacred one by one, or were turned into beasts subservient to their new conqueror. None now remained to tell the tale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lycans were innumerable, and the city was razed to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The necromantic wars, as they were known, destroyed the advanced technologies that the Agatians had closely guarded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually the Titans fell, and then the people were massacred one by one, or were turned into beasts subservient to their new conqueror. None now remain to tell the tale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fate has played its hand, and now the dice set. I knew this child would play her part somehow, and it seems Gabriel has real help at last. It bodes well for our quest. The golem that protects the girl has something that could prove very useful in the end. Something unforeseen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dear friend, I see your destiny before me, and it is terrible indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet I have trust that all will be as I have hoped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three companions enter the chamber of the titans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This battle will test them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there is no going back now. The board is set, the pieces in play, and we shall see what occurs and who will emerge the victor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For there is still the matter of the Lords of Shadow, and their power is even more formidable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A great victory. Gabriel has won the trust of the girl, and together they wield a fearsome power. She is so young, so beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life is so fragile here on the edge of humanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet in this unforgiving place, she has managed to survive with the help of her Black Knight protector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sleep will come and take them soon. Tired and exhausted they rest but this night. Fate once again comes calling. And I fear my friend will never be the same again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dreams are a gateway to the mind, and now Gabriel has paid a terrible price for succumbing to his weariness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The many sleepless nights since his love was taken from him. The fear of falling into sleep. The nightmares that haunt him have all played their part. Did he murder this poor girl? Or is there some other explanation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doubt gnaws at him now, eating his very soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The golem protected this child for centuries, loved her dearly, and there was no way he would have let Gabriel live, yet alone give up the gauntlet. Few men could continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most would abandon the quest, but something deep inside forces him ever onwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A dark force has taken hold, and all creatures of the night will come to fear him now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel has fought long and hard to get to this point, and now he faces his stiffest challenge. The Dark Lord of the Lycans must be defeated if Gabriel stands any chance of bringing his beloved back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fear he will suffer more than he knows once he discovers the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet his hatred and burning desire for revenge cannot be underestimated. He has the gauntlet and he has Gandalfi's weapon. He is a force that even the Dark Lord will struggle to deal with. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soon he will overcome this evil. Soon the world will be free of the lords of shadow, and plans long dreamt of will come to fruition. Go, my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deed is done. Cornell is no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a pity that the Brotherhood of Light, the order to which we both belong, should also be the reason why the world is in such chaos. Gabriel, you have proven your worth, my friend. You have a piece of the God Mask. It is said this relic can bring back the dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is said this relic can bestow power beyond any man's reckoning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, with the help of the old god, he heads toward the land of the vampires and further into the heart of darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is a sad tale of the witch who guards this fortress. A sad tale of love lost. A tale not so dissimilar to our brave hero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yet pity is not something he can feel anymore. He is blind to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pity of these so-called evil creatures will be laid aside for revenge, and so goodbye once beautiful Malfus. You will trouble mankind no more, and when you are gone into the void, know that love destroyed you in the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it seems Pan has saved Gabriel once more. His arrival most fortuitous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel now enters the outskirts of the vampires territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A cold winter has gripped this land for centuries, driving out the inhabitants to warmer climes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those stubborn enough to stay have contended with the cold death that visits them each and every night, taking their loved ones away forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This night, a warrior will come. A knight in shining armor with death at his side. He comes for you, creatures of the night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This village is one of the last vestiges of human civilization left in this place of death and cold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It lies not far from the Vampire's Castle, our next objective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have some matters to attend to here, matters that could spoil our plans. I will deal with them and try to rendezvous with Gabriel later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] he has not slept in days not since the girl the pain is etched on his face still


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in his soul only hatred drives him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will not speak of it. He must not know I have seen everything, that I have followed him this far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Word has spread of our quest. The vampire clan have slaughtered this entire village. And now, they are expecting us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am told the Abbot possesses an ancient relic that harnesses the power of the sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is said to be capable of burning vampires and reducing them to ashes. That relic protects the Abbey and all who take refuge there. But the Abbot has barricaded himself inside and filled the building with deadly traps to deter visitors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we could persuade him to give the relic to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We delve deep below the abbey, ready to face the evil confronting us. The abbot, Vincent Dorin, was once a good and kindly man who helped the people of Wigol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now he has become a devious coward who has holed himself up in the abbey and rigged it with traps of cunning. The people, unprotected, have paid a heavy price for his treachery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Night has fallen outside, and we will be open to vampire attack at any time. We must be on our guard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We must work together if we are to succeed in acquiring the relic that the abbot guards. This will help us greatly in defeating the vampiric horde later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see he is holding a terrible secret deep within. He is trying to bury it, and in its place the anger is taking over. We must not delay. We must find Dorin and take what we need before we are dragged down with the guilt. The need of the many outweighs those of the few now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can shed no tears for those lost, we must be strong, and we must destroy the Lords of Shadow at any cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tower at the Abbey of Weigald was once a place where men of God sought knowledge and protected the people with Christ's love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now it is the refuge of a man driven insane by fear. Dorin has abandoned his people to death or worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A powerful relic keeps the vampires at bay, and we must take it if we stand any chance against the Dark Lord's minions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know of a secret way that will take me to the top of the tower by a different path. Gabriel will have to find his own way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The power to defeat the vampires is now in our hands, and that bastard Dorin has no doubt met his maker. If anyone deserved death, it is he.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one will shed a tear for his miserable life Countless others have met the same fate by his hand


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The quest is going well. We have what we need to confront the Dark Lord. And I sense Gabriel's determination to see this through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The vampires must know we have the relic, and I'm sure they will move to stop us if they can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whygall village is safe, for now. The vampires have lost one of their commanders, Brawner, and news will travel back to the Dark Lord quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a blow, but it won't take long for them to regroup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luckily, one of the villagers has revealed to us a secret path into the Demon's Castle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This will lead Gabriel into the sewers, and then up into the very jaws of death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The villagers called him God's Savior, and his weapon they called


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vampire killer. Ah, Gandalfi, how that would make you smile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for me, once my business here is done, I shall follow my friend and aid him where I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The vampires know that Gabriel is coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And soon he will have to use all his wits and powers to defeat what nightmares inhabit this place of death and decay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His strength grows by the day, and yet his hate intensifies deep within. He eats little and sleeps less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is there in his thoughts, his beloved Marie. He knows that his journey is far from over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This castle, I fear, will push him into the abyss from which there is no escape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems getting into the castle will be more difficult than first thought. Gabriel will have to navigate the maze gardens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this place a man can be lost forever, or devoured by the creatures that haunt its labyrinthine corridors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These gardens were once the most beautiful in all Europe, and many pilgrims would visit the castle grounds from lands far away to witness their timeless beauty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now they lie wasted and rotten, decaying as their master lives on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel must be on his guard now, for appearances can be deceptive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have heard that in this place one may face one's deadliest foes without realizing it until it is too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She has the body of an innocent child, yet the wits and cunning of a seasoned predator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She will kill Gabriel in a heartbeat if she could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful Laura, who was turned many centuries ago, has lived a lonely, cruel existence ever since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel will have to be very careful from now on, as he can be sure that her mother, the one who commands here, is now fully aware of his presence, and that Laura herself still has some part to play in our tales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The butcher who commanded the castle kitchens fed the corpses of the dead to the ghouls. The efficiency of the queen's household is formidable indeed. The vampires drain the blood and the ghouls feed on the remains. Nothing is left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using his powers is making Gabriel far stronger than I anticipated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will need more than physical prowess when he faces her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She can put a glamour upon his heart that will tempt him to forget everything he knows, even his beloved. She holds the next piece of the mask, and I fear that he will fall at the last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This part of the castle was once where acclaimed scientist Friedrich von Frankenstein conducted his experiments into artificial life. He was quite mad and often would conduct horrific and depraved acts trying to discover the secrets of life itself. His own demise was equally gruesome. The vampire queen took him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But kept him alive thus over many centuries. She fed on him daily, keeping him at the brink of death, yet living and aware. Why she did this is only known to a few.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She once loved life and loved living things, and before she became a Lord of Shadow, she vowed she would punish Frankenstein for his vile acts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a Dark Lord, she was able to keep her word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel has finally defeated Frankenstein's abomination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This hellish place is enough to thwart any man's resolve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yet Gabriel seems completely willing to continue to the bitter end. I hardly recognize my old friend now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A steely resolve has taken hold and compassion is now gone from his heart. He doesn't sleep these days, moors the pity. He just rages at the world and those creatures that dare to confront him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This next challenge will tax his mind further, and I fear it may break it forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The vampire's mercy is playing on his thoughts. I see that clearly on his face. Perhaps Laura reminded him of poor Claudia. Seeing his beloved Marie again has brought it all back to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marie's love is all he has now, and the hope of holding her again, the only hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is close now, close to the bitch who commands these vampire vermin. Gabriel will make her pay for the injustices he has felt at her hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She is powerful. She will try every trick in the book to tempt him to her cause.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is just the small matter of the clockwork tower to overcome first. Another mad invention of Frankenstein that I hope will only delay his sweet revenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The giant mechanisms and gears continue to turn, but Gabriel continues to foil them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is now in the heart of evil. Darkness is all around, surrounding him from all sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here he will meet the brother of the one he destroyed in the village. His name is Olrox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The two brothers have been her greatest champions, yet I sense their reign of evil is ending here tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allrox and his brother Brawner are traitors who took sides with the Queen when she became one of the Dark Lords. He has wreaked terror on the lands ever since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now he will meet one who is greater, more powerful than he. One who will deliver a message without any mercy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All rocks meet Gabriel Belmont and his vampire killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The blood of all rocks has opened the way to the queen. She holds the next piece of the god mask which Gabriel must acquire if he is to be with his beloved again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She will try to seduce him, to glamour him, but he will see through her mask, I'm sure of it. He is so very strong now, and even she must fear her own death at his hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can smell her fear, her stench


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vampires can sense the living, but the dead she cannot. She knows Gabriel is here, yet she cannot sense death close at hand also. She knows what it is he wants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Poor, beautiful Carmilla. You will cry bloody tears before this night has ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Pan comes again with words of wisdom and advice for our hero. Gabriel is angry now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carmilla's betrayal has made him question his own faith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The brotherhood means nothing to him anymore. He only wants his Marie back. He now has two pieces of the mask, and only one more to find to make it complete. He must travel now to the land of the dead, and he must face the final lord, Death himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are still many leagues to travel, and I cannot risk being seen for I doubt even one of his brotherhood could help him now. He must go where none may follow. Into the abyss. The stench of death is strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A witch holds power here, but I sense Gabriel is more than a match for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bones of his fellow warriors litter the place, but he seems oblivious to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stoic and determined to move forward, he doggedly fights on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has not slept for days, he rests only briefly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sometimes hear him talking to her, telling her he loves her, that they will be together again. In the dark he weeps for her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or perhaps it is for his own lost soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The old hag has cast a spell on Gabriel, making him very small. Small enough to enter the music box and retrieve the blue rose she so obviously desires.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This old witch has me nervous. Something she said has filled me with disquiet. She mentioned the King of the Angels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure I heard her correctly. What does this mean? Why do I have this feeling of dread?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope Gabriel will succeed and quickly so that we may be on our way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he has gone, I will kill this evil crow, so that she may not be a danger to anyone else, ever again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Baba Yaga sent our hero to the titans graveyard, and I have sent her soul to the underworld. She will trouble us no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now my friend enters the land of the dead, and his final battle is coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I must find my own path and try to meet with him at some point. For now he is on his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The land requires sacrifice. Sacrifice I hope that he can make because without it he will not get very far. I must have faith in him now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The seed was sown long ago and it flowers beautifully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has come this far down the path. I must believe that he will go all the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Powerful necromancers have used this once sacred ground to build an army of the dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conquering nearby lands, legions of zombies have devoured the living and given rise to this desolation. No man has traveled here without meeting death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel now faces his toughest challenge. He now bangs his fists on the very doors of hell on earth. And the lord who commands here is listening, waiting for him, smiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the old god is dead. It has come to this at last. The blood of a god has opened the way. Good, Gabriel, very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is only one true god, and all usurpers must be cast aside, though Pan's sacrifice was not in vain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now our warrior of light can proceed to his final destiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lord of the Dead is the most powerful of the Lords of Shadow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gabriel will need every ounce of his being to defeat him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I worry for him, though. His mind is tired, broken even. He questions his faith, he questions his heart. Can he succeed? Come, my friend, just a bit further, and you shall see your Marie again, fueled by the very flames of hell itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crematory oven is where the gravedigger does his ghastly work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A powerful demon whose mighty shovel can cleave a man in two with one stroke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Gravedigger will rip the very soul from Gabriel, given half the chance. Yet, I sense that our hero is more than a match for this creature. This could be interesting indeed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sense Gabriel's rage welling up within him, and I wonder who is the more terrible, our hero or the demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so it begins. The necromancer's abyss lies at his feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is dark and terrible, and the cries of the dead follow him wherever he goes. There is nothing but hate in his heart. Hate for those who have taken his beloved, who have made him do terrible things, who have taken his humanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, reap the whirlwind, scions of death, for comes the prince of darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What has happened to you, Gabriel? What have you become?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love has blinded you, but you have changed, my friend. Your quest is almost over. The dream is in sight. Now you must face death, and you must defeat it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mask is a powerful device, and he who wields it can do anything. Bring back the dead. Rule the world. Destroy the universe. Challenge God himself. You are the one, Gabriel. You are the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An unusual hiding place for the Prince of Darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Satan's acolytes are readying for his imminent return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is unlikely to welcome both of us with open arms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And accepted a job at Charles River Associates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were doing work for the American Petroleum Institute, so they had a particular point of view. If the US goes ahead and reduces its emissions, and countries like China and India don't do anything,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The US puts itself at a competitive disadvantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To try and put numbers on what those damages would do, how much they were hurt, I think is important, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We wrote a couple papers on our findings. I had a general surprise of how much attention it got. It was finding its way into the airwaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We tried to tell clients we really can't measure jobs accurately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, you have to get paid at the end of the day. So, you know, we ended up doing the best we could talking about jobs. But you don't really, you don't really know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had misgivings about just telling half the story, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what do we get if we reduce emissions we get less damage from climate change, right? And we're not putting that in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wish I weren't a part of that looking back. I wish I weren't a part of delaying action.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, clearly on the wrong side of history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please welcome our chairman, Lee Raymond.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One little kitten jumping on the bed She fell off and bumped her head Mama called the doctor and the doctor said


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a shot at it and we got beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. Today I'm here with AJ Tracy on the heels of our sold out show last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you feeling? I'm good man, it was a good show, exciting. Yeah, it was a great show. Your fans are like ridiculously rabid and I was astonished by how every, like there was just so many people that knew every fucking word, including the most technical sounding verses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you have like a national hero type vibe going with a lot of these kids. I feel like where they really, they believe in you. It's like a very, very strong sense of support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sometimes they need that to sort of take the plunge and really fuck with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, definitely. And also what's crazy is that you're all over the fucking radio right now. I hear you hear AJ Trace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that needs to be the sort of attitude that you're presenting to the radio stations and shit. Is that like, you can't just get away with not supporting the local acts. Like if you're not supporting your own countrymen, then what the fuck are you really actually doing? What is your purpose? What is your use here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're so much better off being the authentic version of yourself than being a fucking cloned version of something that you're never gonna 100% be. That's facts. Yeah. Uh, and so that song we're talking about, Ladbroke Grove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But were you more like that coming up? Was your stuff more street level when you first started rapping? Cause you've been at it for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. So do you feel like an extreme sense of pride from West London just because you're one of the few that has really kind of broke through in terms of representing that area?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so your parents, was your dad, uh, did he influence you getting into being a rapper much? I'll be honest, nah, not at all. Not really.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was the hip hop or the music in general that you were interested in when you were a young kid that made you want to get involved yourself?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you come close to sort of getting wrapped up in bad stuff when you were a kid or did you largely avoid most of that stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause you've been pretty well known for a decent amount of time now, many, many years, but, I mean, god, you'd think that would stop fucking with you at a certain point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope one day. At some point you gotta be an old man and they just gotta forget about you, right? Exactly, exactly. I hope maybe when I'm like 40 they'll leave me alone. So how did you, uh, start building relationships with people in the US? Because you're somebody that, that's one thing is that you just know a bunch of the people that I know or a bunch of like the,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool people from LA and stuff like that. Like how'd you, how'd you start first going to the US or meeting these people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But did that give you a lot of confidence? Because maybe at that time you weren't necessarily getting the hometown love. Exactly. And then all of a sudden you meet all these dudes who have money, they're famous, etc. And they're showing you love. Exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does get like that sometimes, so. I mean, rappers always say that to me is like, yea, I mean, like, even dudes who have blown up and have millions of players on YouTube and they'll tell me that in their hometown is still like, people are just very, very slow to really accept you because they see you as a threat to their local identity in a way. Exactly, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it sort of all come as like a flood of attention out here because there's all these freestyle shows out here, there's a lot of like local media and stuff, did it all sort of just start to come together once you started to do some numbers on one thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Fair enough, man. Fair enough. Yeah, man. Hilarious. Yeah, but okay, so that song is huge for you to the level that before you were coming out on stage last night and really even before you were in the building. People were singing, oh, Tiago. The second that there was a moment of silence and they would be doing it over


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fair enough though. So it's a good song man. When did that song come about or was there anything special about that process?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the significance of Tiago Silva being that I'm a person who doesn't know anything about your country's sport of football? What was so epic about him that made you want to name the song after him? Or was it just that one line in the song about, I'm not even going to try to recreate it here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You also had like another viral clip that I was watching recently where this fucking white woman on the news basically, like, she was trying to make the point that your videos look like they're just gang videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty hilarious because she's basically insinuating that just a bunch of black guys hanging out together means that they must be a gang. That's the UK definition of gang basically. Right. If you want it to be, then if you're old and conservative, I guess that's kind of what they end up rolling with. So how did you feel when she posed that question to you? I feel you can see it in my face honestly. So like obviously. You're like, did I really just come here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. So how much has your life changed? I was seeing that you, uh, golf is your hobby? Yea, a little bit, man. I'm guessing that wasn't your hobby when you were still on the block? Definitely had never played golf. The roads, as you guys say. Look, I know what the words are. Yea, yea, we say the roads though. We say the hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually kind of crazy that you've been able to do all this independent. It's kind of like a testament to your own like ability to move around and your knowledge of the game because like a lot of the stuff, the looks that you've gotten and the things you've done so far seem like the kind of shit that anybody in the UK who seems like they're doing that kind of stuff has pretty much gotten help from labels and stuff. Definitely, yea man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's been supporting me from the start. She's like the only one who's supported me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, still single? You ain't doing the girlfriend thing? No, I got a girlfriend. You don't? I do have one now. Oh, you do have one now? Oh, okay. Cause I was gonna say, there was a girl that I was looking at backstage at the festival and then I go on YouTube and I search her name and I see you playing football with her on the video game system. Oh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, you know him? Yeah, yeah, yeah, person. He's my guy, man. I'm trying to get him to do the interview tomorrow or friday or something, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the YouTuber world is kinda like, it's like, you know, you could be like, liked by the real rap fans, and then I feel like out here, you could be liked by the American fans, I feel like that YouTuber crowd, cause it's so much younger and different, that that's like a whole different market. That's a whole other world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a certain point in your life you didn't want to do because you maybe thought that your audience didn't give a shit or something like that or is it an interest that you've like slowly picked up over time or where does that come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think the day that I bought like a $8,000 couch, that was when I was like, holy shit, this is fucking home fucking shit thing is for real. Oh yeaah, so comfortable. Yeaah, but the porn star peed on it. I'm not even going to really get into that, but. Good problem's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, I hear ya. Shit man, well, you're definitely one of the fucking dudes that I've been listening to the most out here, and a big fan, especially after the show last night, you're a great performer as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I figured that because that's a great way for you to sort of absolve yourself of responsibility. Trust me, trust me. That's the way to just get out of everything. Dude, while we're on the topic though, I loved your chicken shop date. That was hilarious. I laughed so hard watching that. Did you go to wireless? I did and I did the interview with her as well. You did it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When's it out? Uh, I don't know, but I got Ski Mask to do it too, and she was so excited and thankful. That's why I'm not gonna lie. Oh, it wasn't that long ago, it was just like a couple months ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I said it right? You did. You hit me up. Yo bro. Manifestation. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, you said, I'm from London, it would be fried on link up, VR local. Damn, that's fucking crazy bro. I'm gonna be honest with you, at that time, I did not know, uh, how good your shit was. It's a lot bro, but now you know. Now we know. I have friends. When you coming to LA? Yea, soon actually, soon. Okay. Soon, I'm always over there man, I'll come link.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with, with knowledge of how much that DJ Cosine helped your career early on, who could you say is the young people that would actually be excited for you to say their name that you're looking at? Like, I kind of fuck with this dude. Let's see, there's a couple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yea. Nah, I appreciate you coming in, man. It means a lot. Appreciate it, my guy. Yeah. AJ Tracey. My guy. Love. Love and direct. Love from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Appreciate y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to talk about this. I don't ever want to talk about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Those pieces of sh-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you get the Broncos in? No, I did not put the Broncos in. I'm not on that kind of a Kool-Aid drink, but I think the only AFC team that falls out is the Bills. And then I, yeah, that's my AFC picks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who got your NFC? NFC, I went with the Eagles 49ers, Lions, Saints, with Vikings, Seahawks, and Giants in the wild card slot. Uh, and then my Superbowl pick. We have a Rolls pick? Oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there you go. Anthony's got the same exact suit ball as me. Now, if Brock Purdy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I had Joe Burrow winning MVP. I'm all in on the Bengals, like I said. Jamar Chase is winning offensive player. I have Joey Bosa winning defensive player. Go Bucs! I've got, uh, Smith and Jigba winning rookie of the year. Go Bucs! Winning defensive rookie of the year. And then coach of the year, I've got Dan Campbell, cause I'm kinda high on the Lions this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty. Oh, pretty. No, keep your promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. And today I'm in here with Hobo Johnson. How you doing, man?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like if Charlamagne sets you up and knocks you down, then people, like, it's kind of an established precedent that that's something that everybody's kind of got to go through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I got asked to go on Braves Club, I would know that I was going for a confrontation. Oh man. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are you feeling about the interview thing in general? Are you transitioning well into being a public personality? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, definitely. Uhm, so talk about those early days and like where you were at before you really got anywhere with the music stuff and where that creative urge came from. Because when I hear your music, it's like, oh shit, this is a dude who developed his style probably like completely away from most of the influences that we're used to young artists having, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you were grinding for a long time doing like the street performance stuff and doing all that kind of stuff. You were grinding for a while, like how long before you actually started to really, before people started to really fuck with it? Probably like four years. Four years. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean like if we were, if we had to do an interview and we didn't have like any other way to record it, we could very easily just record it like this and a lot of people wouldn't even notice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy. So sleeping in the car though, like that sounds particularly brutal. Like what sleeping position did you ride in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 6'2", damn, you're just, uh, I'm 6'3", but yeaah, that's, that's been my experience, is that there's been a lot of different times where I had to sleep in the car, like, with my friends or whatever, on BMX trips back in the day, and I always felt like I was by far getting the worst of it, like, this is way more painful for me than it is for them. Totally. Yeaah, shit sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel lucky because I never saw my parents drink my whole life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I feel like I've always been able to drink and never was able to really, like, take it too seriously. But I also felt like it always fucked my stomach up so bad that I never really wanted to- I never felt like I would be able to get really into drinking because it just fucked my shit up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like if I was sitting here doing this interview right now and I was dealing with like a crippling hangover because I was up till 9 in the morning drinking, uh, this would not be fun. I would be panicking in my brain thinking like, oh my god, like I can't wait till this is over. And that's just like, that's, I don't know, I think music is kind of like that and podcast is definitely like that for me where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quality of your brain when you're creating matters a lot. And if you feel like dog shit, you're probably not as likely to make a good song or do a good interview, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause there's a lot of people that I, like, I just think it's different types. Different people can tolerate different stuff. I know dudes who are like 50 years old, they've been drinking and doing coke since they were like 15. And they seem like they're holding together pretty alright. I don't think I would be capable of the same thing. No. No. I feel it. I think my heart would explode. Yeaah. I can feel it too. Not in a metaphorical way either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you think you're happy and then you sorta get a taste for something else and you realize that you weren't really acting on your own behalf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I mean, having a good group of friends that you really are tight with, like as you go through the process of becoming famous or successful or whatever, to be able to hold onto that is such a crazy challenge because you have these people that you love and stuff and all, but your life is going to be changing dramatically while their lives stay approximately the same and you're just going to become more and more different. And it's just always a challenge to try to navigate those seas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do a lot of living when you're gone for a month or two. Whereas like a lot of the people at home, it's like realistically they go to the same job every day and they might go to the same bar every night and they might hang out with the same people every day and it just sort of starts to just draw a line in the sand that you're different than them all of a sudden. Totally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Los Angeles, yeaah. It looked like it. Yeaah. And the people can probably, you think they can sense that? Probably, yeaah. A lot of people said that too. I saw Blueface do a video in this house last month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. That's exciting. Uhm, do you feel like the label is like open towards you, like saying that you want to do stuff that's a little bit more low key or less big budget? They're cool with that? Yeah, definitely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty funny. Uhm, so did you, like, what, what category, if I had asked you when you were sleeping in the car and I sort of asked you, like, what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well there's definitely something really unique about your sound that, that clearly is like taking on influences that average hip-hop person doesn't have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting because I was listening to a lot of bright eyes in like 2002. Damn, the height of it. I don't really know what they've been doing since, but I had a couple years there where I might have, might have teared up a little to some coner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't into saying anything, but not like super, super die hard. I was a brand new fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he has just always been doing it. Actually, I'm not saying the dude's name, but he did get caught at one point and charged with like many millions of dollars worth of graffiti in Boston. He's like one of the most legendary dudes out there who didn't get caught for 20 years, 15 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause that's what they do. They catch you doing graffiti and they will fucking charge you like, let's say like, you know, $5,000 per wall you ever painted. So like very easily you could have millions of dollars. And they check your tags and shit. They'll have a handwriting analysis and expert and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the cheat code is that there's like really, just cause the handwriting matches up or whatever, it's like if you don't admit it, it's really hard for them to actually get you. That's crazy. You don't have any graffiti background you should know about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so when it really started cracking off though was when you did this, this NPR thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so when it first started happening, I could, you know, you're still young, you know, like, I mean, to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And over time, it's just like, well, alright, now I just don't even fucking care that much anymore. If you're a professional boxer and you get a shit beat out of you 50 times, by the last one, it's gotta be like pretty chilled.

[Assistant] My dream basically. Yeaah. So. Yeaah. Do you think your, like, your actual happiness level is a lot higher now? Or is it kind of a give and take? I think it's a give and take. You had no worries then.

[Assistant] Like what if you hit her in Old Town Road? And you were dealing with that right now? Dude.

[Assistant] Like, can you imagine what it would be like to, like, you can't even wa- Like, Billie Eilish can't go anywhere. No. She can't go to Walmart.

[Assistant] Like when you take like a hundred selfies in a row and you're just starting to feel like, damn, like does anyone even care about like who I actually am or what's going on in my brain? You do that too? Sometimes like when you're taking a hundred selfies and you can't even really have a conversation while you're doing this stuff because it's just this like mechanical process and you're like, fuck, like this is, this is what it is, huh?

[Assistant] No, yea definitely, even though it's sorta weirdly torturous, it's like you know how happy it makes people and that makes it so it's like, like I was hearing that Jim Carrey just doesn't do it. Really? Like you can see Jim Carrey and like have a conversation with him or something but he's not taking a photo with you, he just won't do it. And I was just like, man, that's gotta be...

[Assistant] God, I'm not, I mean, but still people make you do that, still people make me sign their fucking vans and shit.

[Assistant] Definitely, uhm, the festival thing? Is that, like, is it, is it?

[Assistant] Compare playing to like a couple thousand people playing like, you know, four hundred people in a smaller room. Like it's, on one hand it's good cause you're hitting more people, and it feels good to look out and see thousands of people jumping up and down, but it's a little less intimate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yeah. That's crazy. I know, Reading Leads. I was just, uh, in England for Wireless Fest and we were like on stage seeing like Migos and Doug and shit and they're just like the way that those fans were losing their fucking minds. Crazy!

[Assistant] Yeah, like, I don't know, in Australia it's just something about Mali, I guess. But then meanwhile you're at the festival and you don't smell weed, ever. Because it's just like hard as hell to get it out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I feel like a lot of people have that, that issue with the, with weed. Like my girlfriend, I don't know, when I met her, like she would hit the blunt a little bit and stuff and she'd be cool and maybe go to sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, do you not like doing uh, interviews with your managers in the room?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think about that a lot, like to what extent is my podcast considered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's good to hear. Even these lights, I feel some type of way about it in the sense of like, it just feels kinda unnatural, you know? Kinda, yea, but it would be bright.

[Assistant] The hate that you've gotten, I was kind of intrigued by the fact that you, I feel like you've dealt with a lot of like extreme hate for like real kind of silly stuff that you probably weren't even at fault for. They called you the pride of Oak Park, huh? And that got you in a bunch of trouble? Yeaah.
