[Assistant] I think there is a rule that it either has to be a logo or the shield. If that's the case, I would change the logo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I would literally change the logo to 32.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I, I was thinking about this yesterday and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that it'll be a rallying cry for the team because the team, although they knew him, I mean, most or if not all of the players had met him, they don't, they don't really


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, unless they're real students of the game, they probably don't understand the impact he had. You honor him by dedicating the season to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you go kick the league's ass. Every single week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You play like it's your last down, your last game, and you, you bring back


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To this city, the honor it had when Jim led the way. That's how you honor him. You go play your ass off and you win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simple. And I agree with you, there should be a 32 on all the helmets. There should be a 32 on a helmet on the middle of the field. Stop trying to get cute with elf logos and new dog logos. Just win. Just win. That's right. And everything will take care of itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about you Boogie? How do players look at that kind of thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So their first offensive play, just having everybody stand around and maybe play a video on the Jumbotron. Every home game. They're not going to do it every home game. They probably won't. Your first series, your first


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you think about it, the year before the Browns...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Super Bowl era began. The Browns won the World Championship, the NFL Championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so there's a lot of cretins to that theory that he was the runway to today's NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't think off the top of my head, if I say this I may regret it. But to me it seems like he was really one of the first stars


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] to go from athletics to acting and do it very, very well at a high level. I can't think of, I mean, maybe I'm, I mean, I wasn't alive. I just, in my mind is I'm trying to think of guys that have done it. Many did it after. In fact, the guy that most, I think he's most compared to is OJ Simpson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And O.J. Simpson famously transitioned into acting and had a pretty damn good career as an actor too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is. It really is. And it's a testament to, you said earlier, it's a testament to the kind of resolve that he had to be able to leave one arena at the top and immediately go seamlessly into another and have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, to Bull's point earlier, he was just the kind of person that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember one of the things we talked about in the interview, because we sat down for well over an hour. One of the things that we talked about was he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't just gonna be there, I wanted to be the best. No matter what it was, whether it was lacrosse, he's in the lacrosse hall of fame, he's in the college football hall of fame, he's in the pro football hall of fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked him if he wanted to be a professional baseball player. Could he have been a professional baseball player without sounding, you know, boastful? He was like, yeah, I could if that's what I chose to do. I truly believe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And track and field too. He won the 100, he won the long jump, he won the high jump, he did whatever he did, he won. And I just think he was one of those rare, rare people, we all know them, that no matter what they try, they're not just good or accomplished, they're great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you sure you want to bite off this next topic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you know that it's one of those things you can please some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time, but you can never please all of them all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dickerson had one of the old time great seasons ever on a bad team. Bad team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so yeah, Dickerson is on the cutting room floor. Who's number four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm okay with him at four, I know some people have him one. I do not have him one. No, I know some do. The reason I'm okay with having him at four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is because he had a Hall of Fame quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had a Hall of Fame wide receiver. He had Hall of Famers, I believe, on the offensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had it all. They had it all. Not to take anything away from him. He was a great player. But he played on the 2010 Browns from 2020. Is he Emmet Smith? Does he elevate the Browns? Probably a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Jim Brown's case, everything was geared to stop him and only him. That's right. If, if in the 90s and you're playing Dallas and you're gonna stop Emmet Smith, you could take Emmet Smith out of the game. There were teams that game planned him right out of the game and they were still able to beat you with Irvin, Troy throwing the ball and they could beat you other ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so then you're going to have somebody, who then do you have in your top five that, well you don't know yet, you don't know yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Self success cannot be helped against him. No, in fact, he is the antithesis of Emmett Smith. If you swapped Emmett Smith and Barry Sanders, you had five Super Bowls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was sometimes a victim of his own skill set. He has the most negative yard carries in NFL history. And I understand where you're going with that, but Barry


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, he told me once in an interview cause I brought that stat up. I said that's kind of a, you know, it's a weird distinction to have. And he said, every time I got the ball, I felt like I could run for a touchdown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even when I was pinned in, even when there was no hole, even when there was no light, I felt like I could get out of it and run for a touchdown. So he did reverse course a lot. I will say this. His yards per temp weren't even 5-0 according to pro football reference, Mike. I thought it was higher than 4.42. I don't know where you got that number from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just go on highlight films alone, Barry Sanders is the best I've ever seen. To me, he's number one. I'm sorry. I agree. I would take him as the best back ever. Listen, as you look at the highlights and you just watch, what's a running back supposed to be and do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Barry Sanders. He's the guy that you put into the time capsule, and if you're telling someone about football 100 years from now, and what a running back is supposed to be and do, I show them Barry Sanders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it was very much like, uhm. He was 30 years old. Like Jim Brown. He played nine seasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like Jim Brown. He had 1,400 yards and 16 gains. Where Jim had 1,500 yards and 14 gains. I remember when, it was my first year in Tampa and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before they played, because they used to be in the old NFC Central, if I'm not mistaken. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They would talk about, I would interview the defense about, so what's it like getting ready to play Gary Sanders. And they all said, he's our nightmare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is our worst nightmare. And remember they had John Lynch, they had Warren Sapp, they had Derrick Brooks, they had a defense. And them trying to tackle this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I know this is a hypothetical, but had Jim come back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He ran for 1,514 games. He would have gone over 1,000 yards again. Right, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you said Dickerson, I would say you could put OJ. Dickerson's right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the open field, Eric Metcalfe was another guy that looked like a gazelle in the open field. Walter Payton ran beautifully. Yea, I mean he was incredible. His form, like Jim was a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tank, you know, he was a tank, he was a bruiser, and OJ was a little like that, but OJ also had, you know, world class speed at that time, but I just thought that Walter Payton


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was a disgrace that they let refrigerator score a touchdown and not Walter Payne.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was massive and he was a defensive tackle and they used him in a gimmick offense at the goal line. And his nickname was the refrigerator. They couldn't stop him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was a calm, salt, he was a soft-spoken guy, never controversial, but he held that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the most dominant in my lifetime, even more so than the Ravens when they had that great defense. They gave up nine points a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing that stood between them and a perfect season was the Miami Dolphins on a Monday night. Right. And it was really billed as, if any, you know, can the Dolphins keep someone else from having a perfect season? Because they went 15-1 and they won the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, that, that 85 Bears team was unlike anything I've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did throw a couple. I think he, I think they had a couple of plays. Eight. Three. Ooh, eight. I wouldn't have said that many. Three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what it speaks to? It speaks to how defenses played him when he got the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at those guys and say which of these is not like the other, it's Jim because of the era he played in. All of these guys are modern era football bats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you have, was he number 60 or 61 or something? Like don't you have to be in the 30s to either 20s to enter this conversation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm Nick Chubb at this point, you, you, you know, you're the, I think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Top three runners of the football in the sport right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or just take it all the way to camp, August, July.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna catch 250 footballs a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to run routes. I'm going to work with guys that have been great pass catching running backs in the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm just gonna, I'm gonna eliminate that as a criticism of my game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Stefan came in and walked the guy, gave up a home run. Their pen's been a disaster. One of the things we talked about, Bull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was one of my concerns when I went to Arizona Spring Training and I talked to the pitchers, I talked to everybody on the staff. The one thing that we were very concerned about was year to year, you could not replicate that kind of success. It's literally like you're throwing darts in the dark. And they, as good as they were last year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they end up losing, they take the lead in the 10th inning, they score two runs, they give up three runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My son Cory was at the game Friday and he was like, dad, that crowd, it felt like a playoff game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now granted, the Mets have been struggling. They're just now over 500 with the wins, uh, in game one, I think of the doubleheader yesterday. But all of this being said, and I'm pissed, I'm telling you, I'm furious. I am furious and I'm going to the game tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm furious right now. All of that being said. They're four and a half out. They're not out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where they gotta get hot. I'm pissed right now, but I'm not throwing in the towel because why would you? Now the Cardinals are starting to play better baseball. You know what's interesting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cardinals, the Yankees, the Astros, uh, there's some teams in there I'm missing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is ridiculous. On May 18th, which I think was Thursday, maybe, or Wednesday or Thursday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The catchers for the guardians were hit list for the month. Yeah, we were talking about that last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, see, he, he, did he tell the story about spring training when I, I jumped in the... Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He was like, uh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, Jay, you know. He was the one, I think it was Kirkshin who said there was a group of us, Mark Mulder from the old Royal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't remember, but I think it was, I think it was Kirkshin started and he goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, we were watching guys take BP and the pitching machine was set at 90 and it's the kind that you don't see, it looks just like a pitcher. You see the video and the ball just shoots out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and we opened our season Saturday with a big win. 12-4. Oh, nice. Six innings, one earned, three for five at the dish. Nice. Yeah, big win against a very good team in our, in our, what's that? You still play? Still play. Yeah, still play. It's, uh, Northern Ohio, uh, anything down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we play games in Akron. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, I gotta tell you though, this was the first year that I, well, I shouldn't say, I didn't throw at all. You know, I just, I just didn't. Uhm, I've been doing a lot of, you know, different exercises for pitching, but I showed up, get the ball for the season opener,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so it should have been two walks, but technically it was three walks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought my arm would be killing me because I probably threw 90 pitches. Did you yell at the umpire on that pitch by the way? What's that? Did you yell at the umpire? No, I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will not walk three guys in a game for the rest of the year. But that story was true. And what he left out was, he said, I'll pay for a group dinner. Because there were guys that were hitting in the cage that, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he's like, there's no way you're touching that. So when they were done, it wasn't the Giants, we were at the Giants the day before, it was at the Indians. And they said, go ahead, go in there, and we'll give you three pitches to square one up. I filed the first one off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hit the second one. It was in a cage. I wish it wasn't because I think Tim would tell you this. My third one might have been a home run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it was completely squared up and hit the dead left center field and it was crushed. And everybody that was in there was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What in the hell just happened? And I, I just dropped the bat, walked out of the cage and I said, Tim, we're going to the most expensive restaurant in Phoenix and you're paying. Cause it wasn't just dinner for me. He said, I'll buy the group. Our whole baseball tonight group. How big was that bill? It was, I don't know, but it was, it wasn't small because we could all eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know what, Ronald Acuna is having the kind of season that you remember 30 years from now. Yeaah. Uhm, he's running, feels like he's running away with the MPP race arm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, both series are 3-0 right? I mean, this is a nightmare for the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never hear them say that. Wow. He said, I've got to do better. I wasn't, I wasn't prepared. I didn't have my team prepared. Yup. Like he, he fell hard on the sword. Yeah. But guess what Mike? He had to. We're all seeing the same thing. Yeah, but they, there's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's interesting. I thought that, I mean, Boston is too good. They're too good of a team. They have way more talent than Miami has. Yeah, it's crazy. And this is, if you ever want to make a, you know, because there are some that say, ah, it's not coaching in the NBA is a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which of the teams down 0-3 has a better chance of winning a game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I still think the, I keep looking at this roster going, how in the hell is this happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ending to like, you know, what does LeBron need to do? Well, what he needs to do is dig out of this hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You come back from this and win this series and then go on to win a championship by beating Miami and Spolstra and Riley and all the hatred that exists between those groups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The distance. Do you know how demoralizing that must be? I'm just imagining me out there chasing. And did not get caught either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would take me hours to say all of their names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can visit the homepage and see all these different pictures and the different content. And we can also go to different pages as well while we're offline. And we can do that because we cached those pages when the user visited them while they were online. However, there's still another problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if the user tries to navigate to a page offline that they've never been to before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they've never been to the page while they're online and they're trying to access it while they're offline now. Now this isn't going to work because if they've never been to it online, then we're never going to get the opportunity to cache that page. Right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if they try to visit it offline, we're not going to be able to show that page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what I've done is already deleted from the site dynamic cache the contact page. So we don't have that stored in the cache anymore. And I did that by the way, by selecting it and going to the cross to delete that item. Now then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I try to visit contact now, since we don't have it cached, it looks like this. We get this horrible error and this is not a good user experience. It just looks like our apps crashed or something like that. Now it would be much nicer to be able to show the user some kind of fallback page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When a resource is not retrievable. So in this case, it would still show the actual application with the menu, the design, and then a little message in the middle that says something like, sorry, you can't view this page offline. That would be a better experience because it still looks like they're in the application and we don't get this horrible message. So that's what we're going to try and do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, I'm gonna go to pages and create this fallback page and we'll call this fallback


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all I'm gonna do, because I'm super lazy, is copy all of the contact page, paste it inside here, and the content will change. I'm gonna give this div a class of center as well, to centrally align all the text. Then an h5 inside that, and we'll say, oops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then underneath that a p tag and in the p tag we'll say currently you cannot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to homepage, just to take them back to the start of the application.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we have this fallback page now. What we need to do is cache this page inside our static assets cache because we always want this here. It always needs to be available to us offline because if they can't access a different page, we're going to show this one as a fallback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So inside Service Worker, let's go up to where we cash the assets. And I'm gonna add it to this dude over here. So it's gonna be forward slash pages, because it's in the pages folder. Then fallback.html.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we need to reactivate the service worker and then that's going to cache this asset when it reactivates or rather when it reinstalls because all this happens over here, the caching of these shell assets. Okay. So we'll do that in a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But first of all, we need to go down to this thing right here, the fetch handler, and we need to be able to configure this so it serves up the fallback page when it cannot fetch the resource from our cache or from online if there's no connection. So then currently, imagine we're offline, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we try to fetch a new page, then it's going to run this fetch handler. First of all, it's going to look inside our cache to see if we have that resource already stored. Now, if we do, then great, it's going to return that resource. Say for example, that's the about page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, now if we don't have that, instead it's going to carry on and it's going to try to fetch that resource from the server. Now we're offline at this point, so this is going to fail. Now since this returns a promise and we're returning that promise right here, it means that this right here also returns that promise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we can tack on a catch method right here to catch the error if this fetch fails. So we don't have the page in our cache and the fetch has failed because we're offline. So at this point, this is the point where we can actually serve up the fallback page instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll catch the error. We don't need to pass it into the callback function because we won't use it. Instead, all we're going to do is return something here and we're going to return caches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] .match and inside the cache we're going to look for forward slash pages forward slash fallback.html which we should have now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we pre-cached it before up there at the top. So if now I save this, in fact, there's one more thing I need to do and I'll show you that in a second. Let me save this and go over here. I'm going to go online. So go to network, uncheck that, then go to application and we'll refresh over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if we go to service workers, we need to activate this before I do this. Notice inside site dynamic, we have these two pages at the minute, right? They're in our site dynamic cache. Now I'm going to go back to service workers and I'm going to skip waiting. So notice site dynamic just got deleted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now why is that? That is because remember when we activate a new service worker, this event fires and this is where we're trying to delete the old caches, right? And any cache which doesn't have a name equal to this name, site static V2 at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get deleted. So the dynamic cache got deleted. Now we don't want to do that. We only want to delete old cache names, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let me now say double ampersand to check this as well. So they both have to be satisfied and key is not double equal to dynamic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let me look inside this dynamic cache. Currently we have the contact page on there, but we don't have the about page, but I won't go to that. I'll just go to the homepage. And now what I'm going to do is first of all, refresh, then I'm going to go to service workers and go offline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, if I refresh again, I get this page. I also should get the about page. No, I don't. Let me go to site dynamic. It's because we have the contact page. So I should get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, if we ever try to access any kind of resource offline that we don't have in the cache, we'll get this back instead of the default browser error.

[Assistant] I was put in this situation a couple of days ago when Gamejolt announced a 3 day gamemaking competition. The prize wasn't money, but that 3 large youtubers would play the games, giving them incredible amounts of publicity. How could I turn down a chance like this? I cancelled everything I had planned for the weekend, sat down and began making the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I couldn't focus. I was all over the place, as though it was a race but I didn't know where the finishing line was. Even though the competition had only just begun, I felt under pressure to do… something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew that elsewhere were hundreds of developers all busily coding their latest and greatest titles. But the ideas just weren't coming to me. I liked big and dramatic, but that doesn't work well with the time constraints or the arcade-y-themed competition. I wasn't getting anything done. So I got up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Left the house, and went shopping. Suddenly, everything slowed down for me. I was able to think about what would work and what wouldn't. I got excited at the opportunities and imagined how I was going to pace myself for the next 3 days. I got the supplies that I needed and returned to my house where I entombed myself in my room and began on the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started on the project, making a 3D maze. I was thinking of making it like a labyrinth from that David Bowie movie, filled with traps and puzzles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I decided to start with bombs, which had been a successful feature in the first game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started with the background clouds in the batsweeper, adding physics to Santa's bobble hat in Santa's Atanas, and now I've just spent an hour coding an elaborate physics system for the bomb debris. It looked awesome! Although it was completely 2D, it properly ordered them so they looked 3D as they showered up into the air before plummeting back down to earth like oversized Maltesers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Philip, you IDIOT. This is meant to be a simple arcade game, not an advert for an Nvidia graphics card. And in addition to this, the maze bit of this Maze game was rubbish. When testing it I almost deliberately walked into the bombs just to see the explosion, wildly clicking the fire button to test the physics was more enjoyable than the playable bit of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This project was headed for disaster. I began panicking again, wildly clicking on things before clicking off them again because I didn't know what I was doing. Half a day was gone and I had nothing to show for it. So I went shopping again and that feeling of serenity returned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have made a sequel for that. It would have been perfect for this competition. It was a simple physics puzzle where you changed gravity and used power-ups to get to the end goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you've played the game I ended up making for this competition, you'll be screaming at how OBVIOUS the solution to my situation is. If you haven't seen it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're in for a real treat because I can now talk you through how I turned an abysmal maze game into something really fun. If you want, you could pause this video and try to think up what YOU would have done. Imagine that YOU were in my situation and had just over 2 days to make a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That way it could show off the physics, which really did feel powerful and juicy. Suddenly it was a maze game with Bomberman style gameplay where you had to blow up walls to reach an end-goal. It's the isometric equivalent to Impossible Mission, where simple gameplay elements are combined to make something with a surprising amount of depth.

[Assistant] I began building mazes out of different types of blocks. Those you could blow up, and those you couldn't. It wouldn't exactly be a puzzle game if you could burrow in a straight line towards your goal, would it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You start with a single mine and would have to collect more as you progressed through the maze. If you planted the mine in the wrong place, you'd make it impossible and have to restart. This in itself sounded decent, though the gameplay would consist of you analysing the maze, planning a route and then carrying it out. It was kind of boring and difficult to make exciting. I added another wall type that was easier to destroy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That beautiful balance between skill and luck that arcade games use to hook you in before making you play it endlessly to try and beat the high scores. One third of the way through the challenge and I had at least something to work with. But the clock was ticking and I was relying on the second day to be far more productive than the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that a good way to demonstrate that is that, uh, at the Combine, Quasiodothel Mensa stood up there and said basically, please come back to us, Delvin Tomlinson, we really want you back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and uh, of course, you know, he ended up getting more money than the Vikings could afford, but you know, I think what's interesting about Dalvin Tomlinson is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] when the Vikings initiali did it because they knew a run stuffer and they ne great track record of, y two blockers and things l they found was a guy who into his second contract improved his ability to g


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody who's going to rack up, you know, 10 sacks from the defensive tackle position. But as a pocket pusher, as a guy who can create pressure, he is really, I think, improved over the years. And I think that says something about him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he's one of the most you're ever gonna be arou in the locker room and a job on a very consistent that you have to actually go 22 to see it and you have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that, and that's always the question, right? Like, is it the players or is it the play calls or is it the general scheme or what might it be? And it was a horrific defense. I mean, even when you go back and look at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the quarterbacks that lit them up. Mac Jones had the best day of his career. Mike White went bananas against them. I mean, it wasn't, and Daniel Jones got all that money just because of the Minnesota Vikings, but it truly had nothing to do with Delvin Tomlinson or Zedarius Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those guys did their job. I thought Tomlinson was one of their better players last year, and Zedarius Smith, double-digit sacks, top five in pressures, and the same with, uh, DeNeil Hunter, who is also top ten in pressures and double-digit sacks, but if you can't cover anybody,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] you're going to get lit u I mean, because you're on quarterback at best, what 4 out of 10 snaps, four o one, two, three sacks a g truly dominant defense. So anybody, you're gonna have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were playing a replacement level nickel corner who just got attacked all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kendricks is a great player, and yet last year he was kind of a replacement level player by the way that he produced, and I don't think that he suddenly fell off skill-wise or intelligence-wise, I think he just really didn't fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cam Dansler didn't work out as a corner for them. They drafted a safety in the first round who basically didn't play. They drafted a corner in the second round who basically didn't play. I mean, I think it had a lot more to do with just the coverage unit than it did the defensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know that I would say not upstanding. I think what I would say is maybe he walks to the beat of his own drum, could be that kind of thing, and maybe also, and it's hard to make too many character assessments on guys because I don't know him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he never did. He was never around. I mean, so we talked to him, I think once in training camp and once before the playoff game. And I don't remember him doing any media in between that point. And I think it got to the point where we as a beat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he wasn't around really at all and wanted nothing to do with media. He wasn't gonna be dappin' off any reporters in the locker room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also think that the Vikings expected he was going to be back this year. I think that they found out when everybody else did that he was leaving Minnesota when he suddenly tweeted something like, goodbye, thanks for the memories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I guess Sedarius isn't coming back. And I think that they thought that he was happy with his contract after signing a two-year deal. Like, why did you sign a two-year deal if you only wanted a one-year deal? But from his perspective, if you put up the numbers that he put up last year and you look at what you're making


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] cash wise, and what other people are making cash wise, you kinda get it, right? He was gonna be underpaid, and the Vikings had no cap space to do anything in terms of flexibility to give him more cash, which he deserves. So is there kind of an aloofness to him? Maybe? I think it's maybe more of a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some guys see themselves as independent contractors. I'm here to do my job and get my contract. And I think that's okay. I don't know what Genevieve and Clowney was like, but I think that that's kind of how Zedarius views his career is like, this is what I get paid for and I'm going to get every dollar I can and I don't really care where I play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't disagree with that at all. I mean, uh, I would have loved to have had more conversations with him about his past rush in the locker room, but I have no, I have very little negative to say about Zedaria Smith as a player. I have a ton of respect for what he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and only wanting to play in certain downs or something like that. I mean, this, this guy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] play the whole second half of the year through a knee injury. It hurt his production, but I also think he didn't want to miss any weeks. He didn't want to miss any time and it wasn't technically a contract year. So I think he was really just that's the type of player he is. He's an intense competitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From all sorts of different positions, there are a lot of guys who are only comfortable on my side. This is what I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with Zedarius Smith, comes to the line of scrimm know where Zedarius Smith is effective from all those di mean, as far as an actual p might be the independent c he fulfills that contract, who has lost that area smi


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think that what you have here is versatility with those players that you sign as well. I mean, because with Delvin Tomlinson, uh, we don't really think of interior


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, sometimes, you know, playing mixing and matching with Harrison Phillips. So I think that gives you a lot of different things that you can do with him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's not anything anybody's going to do unless they're insane. But I mean rushing from a lot of different spots. I think that if you're an opposing offense, it's not just about blocking. Well, this guy's good and this guy's good and this guy's good, but it's also blocking. How are they going to look on third down? Where is this guy going to line up? And you can really load up. He allows you to bring somebody else off of the bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] put them at their premium be on the outside as well didn't really have anybod advantage of that last ye guys that they drafted Pa


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you have somebody who's actually good, who's coming off the bench and rotating, I think it gives you a ton of different options to use Zedarius Smith in a lot of ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is totally comfortable doing that however and whenever you want him to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, probably not. Uh, no, I'm gonna, I would say no. Yeah, I mean, everything that they've done has pointed to Delvin Cook not being on the Vikings. I mean, it was only a couple of days into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the free agency period where Alexander Madison resigned. And if you're Alexander Madison and you've sat behind Delvin Cook for four years waiting your turn,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that you're signing back that quickly unless they told you you're the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] because I mean this poor player and he's just had there and sit there an the only time he's ever is when Delvin Cook is ou him as a rotational back I actually think that he d catching the football and better than Delvin Cook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he would have gone looking anywhere else if he didn't think he was going to get that opportunity. And then just to kind of solidify it, they draft a guy, Dwayne McBride. It was the seventh round, but the way that they talked about him was not like you would ever talk about a seventh round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they think that he has potential to be a significant player for this team. They drafted Tai Chandler last year in the fifth round. They drafted Kenny Wong Wu two years ago. Like they've been preparing for this. They're throwing numbers at it. And when you look at the cap situation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, more cap space, and I think that moving on from Delvin Cook is the right way to go. And plus, if you have an analytics GM, you can't be keeping a 12 or 14 million dollar running back who's 28 years old, right? That just goes against everything you're supposed to believe in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean Kevin Stefanski, I think all of us who covered the team thought that he should have been the offensive coordinator in 2018 for the Vikings when they instead went with John D. Filippo and missed the playoffs that year with a lot of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Gary was here, although Gary's still alive, so I don't know if that's possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, when, when Gary Kubiak was here, and you know, the legend of Gary Kubiak, I mean, the guy was around forever with the Broncos. He made the Texans relevant, which is not an easy thing to do. And, uh, won the Super Bowl with the Broncos when he came back to them.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did. I was ignorant of the bell and its ways because I am half Mexican and I was like, Taco Bell's not Mexican food. And Shane was like, no, no, no. It isn't. But you do have to try this thing called a cheesy gordita. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. She not only sent Morgan away, I don't know if she told you, she changed his name. You both just need to take a step back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause she wants me to help with Jocelyn. When that doesn't work out, what happens?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a very profound statement. You see, with Destruction Darius 2, you're seeing a side of game design that, unless you do it yourself, or bought Rome 2 Total War on release day, you wouldn't normally see. I'm talking about an incomplete mess. The rules are different in this stage of development. And so they should be. I'll cut to the chase. I'm talking about polish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or would you? It's a sign of an inexperienced, overly enthusiastic or impatient game developer if they add pointless stuff like exploding menus and rippling water to their games before the gameplay is finalised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's a little upsetting that most of the comments on my last few videos were about how bad the graphics looked, or how unpolished the game was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't get me wrong, it's great that you care. It really is. I feel so fortunate to have viewers who do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let's have a look at the bits of polish I added too early and see what happens. Let's just say that adding this stuff too early hurt me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I added an explodey menu. It was like a proof of concept, to get me into the mood for making this game. But adding and changing those options in this state was a pain. When developing a game, the menu is just an extra click or 2 clicks that you have to get through every time you playtest


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want intros and animations, you just want bold buttons that get you to where you want to be. So I've substituted that flashy menu with this for now. And it works a lot better. Once I know exactly what is needed for the final menu I can work on designing a system that looks and feels good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The time spent here before then is simply wasted. I had a debris to the game as well, but this complicated matter is because when the game slowed down I didn't know if it was because of these effects or if something invisible behind the scenes was doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had to remove these as well. In short, any polish this game had was stripped while I focused on the gameplay. The good news is that I feel the core gameplay is now up to an acceptable stage. And NOW I can start adding graphical effects and polish again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That playtesting session I talked about last time was the turning point. Suddenly, all of the game's elements came together into something playable and enjoyable. It's a lovely feeling, as a game developer, to see it become more than just the sum of its parts. It unlocks the higher echelons of gameplay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know this sounds pretentious, but please, bear with me. You have control over the player's movement, the explosions, even the level design. But you can never prepare for how it'll feel like to play. All the perks and exploits that make it what it really is rather than just a blurb on the back of a case. All these elements combined make up the game's atmosphere. And gameplay, I guess. So now I've started the polishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to add that the graphics are still placeholders, not final things, but the effects and sounds and stuff will be far more in line with the finished product and how it will FEEL like to play. The game actually plays the same as it did last time, but it's a lot more fun thanks to the sounds and rubble everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The difference it makes surprises even me. When people haven't been criticising this game's graphics they've been saying how I've been held back by the game-making software I'm using, as if that's responsible for how unpolished the game looks and feels. And thanks, I guess. But I'll take full responsibility for that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think a game coded in C++ will feel any more polished than one made in Fusion 2.5, which is what I'm using. If anything, the same polish would take even longer in a game coded in C++, so it would take even longer to reach a polished stage!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a horrible feeling and a sure sign that the game was released way too early. But I believe the fault lies with the game developers and I hope to cover the differences that sound and graphical effects can make to even the most basic of game features. Part of me feels that I should have waited even long before starting the polish. I hope to add new object types and, uh, drop a campaign full of levels before attempting this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time, I've got confidence in how I've approached this project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm playing it by ear, testing the game, seeing what it needs and adding the fix or feature that would improve it in that way. Right now. And it's as though I'm sculpting something based on what feels right rather than forcing how I want the finished thing to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With earlier games like Santa's Atlas and Sundown Shambles, I always felt that I was adding new content right up until the deadline and would then be too scared to play it after it was submitted just in case there was a game-breaking bug in it. Which there usually was. But I have no such concern this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game's fun. I'm not sure how much further I have to go with it. I might be 10% up the way through, or I could be 80. I don't really care. It's already a success in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's fun and the more I do to it, the more fun it will become. People who playtest it don't just rush through to the end, put down the controller and say, yeah. They'll discover something new with the gameplay and will then voluntarily replay levels they've already played to test these things out! To me, that's huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not only are they enjoying it, but I'm also liking this approach to game development a lot more than those rushed, ambitious disappointments I used to embark on. With every new game I used to work on, I think that I had reached my final form. As though before I wasn't ready but now I'm suddenly good enough to make my dream game and anything else that I ever wanted to undertake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's nice to know that my approach to game development is still maturing with every title. I'm still learning so much about game development and about myself, and at a surprising pace. But I'm still shit at graphics.

[Assistant] I heard that you had a problem with some rappers that he was associated with and he kinda got stuck in the middle of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So what you got planned for the rest of the year? What are you trying to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you're alright. I mean, honestly, like, it's crazy because I have friends who own businesses in like New York and shit and they talk about how the cops bother them and shit. We had to have 3,000 people show up for a memorial for the cops to start tripping on us.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not undersized linebackers, but his point holds true. Me playing defensive line, I know it's our job to keep our linebackers clean. Right. And if we're getting blown off the ball into their laps, that's making everything harder for them. The linebacker job is already


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's so right, you don't want 300 plus pound people getting blown back to you. So their thought process is if we can just improve the front with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely, I always, like I told G, the pass rush and the pass coverage works in tandem, they go together. The pass rush is doing well, the ball comes out quick, I expect a lot more turnovers in the back end. And when your first unit is dominant and they come out on a bad team,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The drop off is noticeable. But now, with six great pieces, the first unit can go out, take three, four snaps, and then that second unit comes in and there's no drop off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the telling of a great team and I believe that that's what you're going to see this year. That's why Jim Swartz is a huge addition to this defense trying to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think now this last piece, Adam Smith, that was a final piece he needed. Cause at first we thought Oboe was gonna have to step up and put up numbers that he never put up before. We were hoping and wishing that he had a career year opposite of Davion Clowney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what's in the air today, but you guys, this is the most excited I've seen you. I think that three or four times I've been here like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not a guy that's a Browns homer that's gonna come in here and... No, because this is a pass happy league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Travis said, quarterback, left tackle, DN. Now you have two of the top seven DNs in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The excitement is warranted. Uhm, I'm super excited. I anticipate double digit sacks for both of these guys. I remember I came here about two weeks ago and we were like, who's going to be that? Can a Brown's guy get 10 sacks? It hasn't happened since nobody besides the Davion clown. And we were scrambling. We're like, ah, maybe hoping and wishing somebody will have a career year. Now we.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know somebody's gonna have double digit sacks opposite of Jadeveon Clowney, so it's warranted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. It's either that or it's gonna be a lot of three man route concepts. Gonna be a lot of quick guys. Max bro. And the bat checking. So now you only got three receivers with seven defenders back there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't speak on him being an alpha male like yourself said because I don't know him personally. Right. So I can't speak on if he's, if he's that guy, if that's his personality, but I will say he brings confidence to the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He brings a proven track record. He adds competition to the group. So that'll just improve the group in itself like that. I can't speak on alpha male, but just all those other things that I said that he brings to that D line room. He brings a guy that when he stands up and talks, you listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you want to get to where he's good. And that's what they need. He's a pro. He's been to pro bows. He's had double digit sacks and there's certain guys, young guys in that room that haven't reached that level yet. Right. So I would be sitting next to him trying to pick his brains like every day. Can we go out to practice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you doing Mary Kay? Quick question, can you give us some insight on how tight this D-line unit is? Because there's a lot of new pieces coming in and he also let us know how Siaki Aka did during rookie mini camp this week.

[Assistant] I got boneless, so I didn't go off last this time. Yeah, so food's tasting good. Waitress comes up. She's happy. She's in a good mood now. She's like, I'm gonna give you a dessert for free since we were taking so long. So shout out to the guardians. Nice. When the guardians are doing good, life is good. So let's keep it going so I can get some more free food. That's really all I want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it on both sides, but in the sense of where the league is going to be coming from, their stance is going to be fool me once, you know, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. So you think they'll be hard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, they probably gonna hit him with the death penalty, you know, and it just sucks because Jaws an amazing kid, amazing player, you know, a lot of kids look up to him because he's that young kid, you know, the hair flowing, you know, energy dancing, bobbing to the music. A lot of us can see ourself in Jaws, so he has a fan base and it just sucks that he keeps making these decisions, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's gonna have to love him from a distance. And it's tough because we come up here and sit up here and say, oh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leave those people alone, but he's gonna have to if he wants to continue his basketball career. The people next to him that keep putting him in his position are gonna have to distance themselves if they really care about job because he has a spot lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those teams, and who knows what his Nike contract is, his Powerade contract is, and it just sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm sure we're gonna start seeing in the next few days, Powerade will probably pull back. Nike will stop pushing his shoes and it's just gonna suck. He's gonna feel like he's backed into a corner. You know, he needs like, an OG we will say, in the hood time, somebody to put their arm around him. You know, he has an amazing father. His dad is always at the game smiling. All the players interact with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He might not be the person because their dynamic probably has changed. His dad growing up probably was that male figure, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did a sit down with each other. Cause wasn't that who did the interview? Wasn't it Jalen Rose?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And John looked, um, authentic, you know, he apologized, he said he was going to change his ways, you know. He said he was going to get help and that he was sorry and that he kept putting the Grizzlies, his family, and people in this situation that he was going to do better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then look where we are now. So now he's like the girl that cried wolf, you know, and people aren't going to give him the benefit of the doubt now. And he's just going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I had the blueprint and all the answers, you know, but, uh, America is the land of second chances and redemptions and, and I just hope, you know, 10, 15 years from now, we look back at this as just like a blemish on his record. He, he grows up, he improves and just becomes a better person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like it's always been a part of life, you know, it's been glorified in the rap music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a correlation between the rap music and athletes and I don't know where it got to a point to where guns had to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The main tool that brought the two together used to be you seen the rappers and things like that dress in a certain way. You will see the athletes dressing a certain way coming into the arenas and things like that. Like Allen Iverson, how he wore his baggy clothes and dress. He's one of the main people that brought the two together, but I don't know what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His facade with, with his guns and his image he's trying to portray because I know plenty of people back home where I'm from would give up that life they're living. I'm telling you. For his? For a $200 million contract. In a heartbeat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're so old. I'll say this, uhm, two things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of his dad, you know, we're looking at it from the outside. Who's not to say that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not trying up. Yeah, you're right. I'm not trying to dad's not trying. You can only do so much. There's probably plenty of people in this world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had the gang violence, had the drugs, had homeboys that went that way. But I love football. And I was more, and I love football and I love my mom. I was more so afraid of disappointing my mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rather than being told, oh, you're not down, you're not cool. You get what I'm saying? So he needs to find if it's not the fame, if it's not the money, John needs to find somebody or something that he cares about so much and not disappointing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he wants to change and go down the right path. So that well say so that's that's how I was raised and that's how I live by because I could have easily went the went the wrong direction. I still have friends in that lifestyle and I'm not bigger than them. You get what I'm saying? I'm not better than them. How do they view you? They they support me. They view me as uhm, they love me and things like that. They


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had some mentors, you know, I played for a park, you know, it's in a rough neighborhood. A lot of the kids in that park, they grew up to go be a part of that gang. But the coaches, for whatever reason, I was one of the kids that he's not going to be a part of this. Like I know all of them, we have relationships, but just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't associate the two, so I guess that kind of got lost in, in, in Josh's case, but I know in my case, you know, I've had some, some people that I look up to, you know, grab me under their wing and say, you're going off to college, you know, we see something special in you, you know, so that, that's kind of where, what happened with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what if this is who he really, you know, if this is who he really is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get what I'm saying? We keep saying that he's trying to uphold an image. Maybe the image he's trying to uphold is this NBA. And that's not who he is. You get what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to be from your hood to put on for your hood. You get what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, he needs to understand that he's putting on for his hood by just being John Moran, being that success story, people looking up to him, $200 million contract, Nike deal, Powerade deal, and he kind of gets confused with being in the hood. You don't have to be in the hood to put on, put on for your neighborhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need more of you. We just gotta start broadcasting other things. Right. As opposed to just you said the music and sports. That's what they can see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that's all that, that's all that they say. So how do we do that? So growing up, and I'm not going to lie, growing up, I thought that was my only, only way out. You did? You get what I'm saying? I'll be lying and being a hypocrite to say you're right, but saying I thought otherwise. I thought sports,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it was something that kept me grounded and something I looked forward to and I just happened to be good at it. And I would happen to have a mom that didn't play about school. So, so I had to have good grades to play the thing that I love, which was sports, which got me the opportunity to get a scholarship and graduate and so on and so forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we have to start broadcasting to teachers. Let's, let's not just give a teacher's appreciation day post, teacher's appreciation day week. Those are the real heroes. Every day. Those are the real heroes. Policemen, firefighters, you know, ER doctors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the real jobs because only 1% make it to the highest level in sports. Only a few people are going to be Grammy award winning rappers. So majority of the people are going to have to start finding other things to look forward to and find superheroes. So we just in the media,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it's gotta be on TV, social media, we just have to start putting other fields in the limelight because they deserve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why not, I feel like it should be a male, the males in the neighborhood, whether it's, even if it's not your kid, grab somebody by the hand, put them under your wing and tell them, let's go and I'm gonna lead you in the right direction. I get, I get what you're saying that the women should be,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do women, why do we keep having to put the pressure on the women? It should be the male's drop. Yes. Grab the little male or young lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the collar, but the problem is, uhm, it used to be saying it takes a village to raise a child. But now in today's world, everybody is so sensitive. Each person doesn't want you talking to their child. You know what's sensitive? You get what I'm saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ayy, we got bugged. Get your best two or three players. I got, ayy, I got my three. Ayy, we gon' do some three or three. Go watch the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay then, so now we have all of this offline functionality for our app. We have offline assets like pages, images and CSS, but also access to offline data now, which is really cool. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next step is to then deploy this to Firebase so it can be hosted online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm gonna show you how to do that in a second. But first of all, to do this, you're gonna need Node.js installed on your computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to get that, head over to nodejs.org and click on this button. Go through the installation steps and then you should have node installed on your computer. Now to check that it's worked properly, open up a terminal and just type in node-v. And if it gives you back a version number, it means it's installed correctly. Okay then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, if we go over to our app at the back end and then go to hosting over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we're gonna see get started, click on that. This is the first step. We have to install firebase tools globally on our computer. So just copy this and paste it in your terminal over here and press enter and that will install this package globally on your computer. Now I've already done that so I'm not gonna do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, once you've done that, the next step, if we continue, is to log in to the service. Now, you just type out here, Firebase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Log in and press enter and that's gonna throw up a little pop up so you can log in. Now again, I've already done this so I don't need to do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now the next step if we go back over here is to initialize a new project, a new firebase project inside our application over here. So that I am going to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So make sure you're in the correct directory. I am, pwa-tutorial. That's my folder over here. Then we say firebase init to initialize this new project. Now I'm going to move this up here so we can see a bit more of it. Are you ready to proceed? Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it's going to ask us which services we want. Now we just want hosting. Yeah, we've used the Firestore, but we've already set that up on the backend over here. We don't need to do anything else over there. So I'm just going to say hosting for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the way, you select that using spacebar, then press enter to select it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's going to ask us to link up with a particular backend project. Now we created one called Food Ninja PWA over here on Firebase. So select that. And then it says, what do you want to use as your public directory? This will be the folder we deploy. I'm just going to leave it as default, which is public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to configure this as a single page app? No, we don't. And then this has initialized now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when we deploy this in a second, what's going to happen is everything inside this public folder will be deployed. And notice, it's already given us a 404 page right here, and an index page. These are dummy pages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we don't want the index page first of all, so I'm going to actually delete that. And I also want to put everything that we want to deploy inside this public folder so that it gets pushed up to Firebase Hosting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, first of all we want the index file that we created inside that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we want the manifest.json file inside that. We want our service worker inside that as well. And also all of these folders. So CSS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I for some reason have trouble putting any kind of image folder into another folder in VS Code like this. So what I'm gonna actually do is just pause this now and go to the folder where it's kept and do it that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, now what we need to do is just say, Firebase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deploy, like so, press enter, that's gonna take this public folder and push it up to firebase hosting on the backend and in a second down here we're gonna see that this has worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we get a hosting URL, but also if we go to our project over here and refresh on the hosting page, we should see this deployment over here in a second as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we can see, this is our domain over here. So, we see this deployment as well, right here. And what I'm gonna do is just open this up in a browser by clicking this. And we should see this in a browser now. Inspect it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everything has been deployed. So everything works. The about page, the contact page, etc. The home page. Let me just try adding a new item over here and just smooth it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Press add. And this still works. Try deleting it. Still works. Awesome. So there we go my friends. Now we have deployed our application to Firebase Hosting. If you want to learn more about Firebase Hosting, I've got a whole series on my channel about this. So I'll leave a link to that series down below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's good? What's up? We here. Hey, it's nice to meet you, man. Pleasure. Pleasure. I'm Adam. Nice to meet you guys. How you doing? We just finished up with Freeway Rick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? That's interesting. Cause it's like, when we think about Redman, we think about, you know, quintessential hip hop, real lyricist, uncompromising.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fire, yeaah, cause I mean, I'm a rap fan and not, I don't know as much about electronic music, but when you really come down to it, it's like, we've all been to a lot of bad rap shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've all been to a lot of good rap shows too, but sometimes it can be a little difficult to make it translate. Whereas like, I don't know if I've ever been to a bad rave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so wait, it's a reality show about like producers? DJ. DJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I gotta, I gotta say it like, Redmond. Redmond, yea. You were saying that's how it was. That's what my dad said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Because when I think about it, like, really, like, I was thinking about it, if smoking weed has had a negative impact on my life,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's, it's largely your fault. Or if it's had a positive impact, then it's largely your fault also, because like realistically as a kid, it was like Cypress Hill, Redman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get stuck? Yea, I get stuck. I feel like as a producer it would be alright to be stuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't smoke the rapper weed, you're sativa head, is this real? What, what you mean? I don't know, I just feel like rapper weed is indica. Oh shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what do you, what do you smoke these days? Both years. But, you can go first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hot bread, a good hot bread. No, but you, you smoke blunt still? Yes. But you, did you make the bare wood or the backwards switch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to our sponsor, Bear Woods, by the way. I feel like the Backwoods over the past, maybe, I mean, they've been out forever, but over like the past four or five years of hip hop, it's like just taking over. The Backwoods conquer everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like four or five years ago if you went to a 7-Eleven you bought a pack of woods that were like less good, they were dry. Nowadays they're like more fresh because they sell more of them. That's my theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean yea, no, Bear Woods. But I was kind of surprised that the owner of this company told me that he has had very like famous top rappers hit him up and buy 500 of them at a time. They just get hooked on the, on the glass tip and the feeling and not having to roll it and stuff. A lot of people I know are still married to the rolling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally they're not, but then look at the next one. Boom. Black is the night sky. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it looks like a little bit of the weed came out and sprinkled on the outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But sometimes the foreign back was like 50 bucks a pack and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what was the actual creative process of this record that you guys put together? Like how did that actually go down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Torin, like, what kind of, uh, venues and shit would you guys probably end up doing together?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hip-hop is enough of a contest that the bad rappers can never win in the long run. Is this, is this false or am I being so optimistic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What kind of production do you find yourself gravitating towards outside of the EDM stuff and has that influenced like the production tastes that you have at this point in your career?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. So, okay, now that Redman's gone, what do you really think of him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe you could easily leave music behind and just go full Joe Budden and just be an on air personality and shit. I honestly believe that you have like the personality that you could easily transition into that world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just watching an interview where you said that the How High sequel would probably start shooting soon. I'm guessing that still hasn't started shooting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, they did, they put out a trailer that had Lil Yachty in it, right? Yes! Who does not smoke weed, for the record. Let's just throw that out there. Does eat corn dogs, but doesn't smoke weed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish that every great like hip hop group or label or whatever over the years was able to have that foresight though, because there's so many amazing groups over the years, even like, you know, fucking NWA was like barely together for a couple years or shit. It's like, there's been so many amazing entities, but some bullshit always gets in the way of it, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But are they giving out dispensary licenses in Jersey yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. But out here, it's like, still, it's super hard to open like a legal dispensary, like they're being so rare with giving out the permits and everything. I mean, there might be like a thousand of her or some shit, but there's still ten thousand people waiting for him. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's fucked up is that we won't know how fucked up the situation's gonna be until the dust settles. Until everything's already like, sort of established, we won't really realize how hard the local growers and the smaller businesses really got fucked in this whole deal. Yeaah. So that's what we find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're gonna somehow, through clever marketing, they're gonna convince people the same way they have, like, poor people convinced that they wanna eat at McDonald's instead of eating at some local place. They're gonna somehow convince people that you wanna smoke Walgreens weed. You don't wanna smoke this natural, organic, whatever. Yes. Or they'll create a separate market for that that costs more or whatever. It'll just be like Whole Foods. Who the fuck knows?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that's what capitalism's all about, is like, capitalism loves a mystery plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like why do you wanna smoke weed? Well, your back hurts, you're a little anxious, you're not anxious enough, you wanna sleep, like there's a million like uses that you could suggest because there's a million different types of weed, there's a million different people who react to it differently, you know, and it's just kinda scary to think about how much marketing we're in for. Oh yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of my rapper friends are out there like right now, and they don't have weed. And I'm kinda like, shit if they- Weed is trash. Horrible. Horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys wanna all just do a bunch of blow and then do another podcast after?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's possible. That's right. So when are we actually going to see the project?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listening to your albums over the past couple of days, I have gotten reminded of a lot of good skits that I forgot about. A lot of quality skits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, that's good, yeaah, it sucks being put into a box and that's actually like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very invigorating when I think about that, like that concept of just being able to reinvent yourself and really that you need to reinvent yourself because that's one thing you realize over the years in entertainment or whatever is that it's like nobody really gets to stay the same for long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What your fans want from you or what your new potential fans want from you is always just going to be fluctuating and changing, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember what the reaction was. I don't even remember listening to it either, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody who was getting arrested in the 90s was for small amounts of weed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. The whole news section and everyone is like, Lil Kim got picked up with two grams of weed, so-and-so got picked, like everybody. It's crazy. Cause it's not like they're gonna stop smoking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know. What a shame. Nah, I was in New York, uh, maybe a year or two ago and, uh, I was around actually a rapper who was selling weed and he was, he had like the whole vacuum sealer in his backpack just to give a motherfucker an eighth or a quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause people are still that paranoid about getting caught on the subway or whatever. He's vacuum sealing a fucking quarter and handing it to somebody. I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the subway? Well, he's like in the crib, but he's like giving it to people that are probably gonna just go get on the subway, so he's like vacuum sealing a quarter. I'm like, holy shit, I have not seen that in a long ass time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank God. And you can continue to make EDM records in peace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a different feel. I mean yea, like all, all uh, labels are like, limiting, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yea. Sounds was, sounds fire. I gotta check it out for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need that like long, ridiculously in-depth Redman interview at some point. Redman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when you say like Muddy Waters 2, do you feel like you have to really embody the spirit of the first one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Redmond has just one of those personalities that is just like hip-hop always seems ready to consume it. Like they always, I don't know, and it's weird too because watching all your old interviews and shit is crazy because it's like you're surrounded by all this beef, there's all this shit happening in your life and stuff, but somehow it never affects you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a fact. Man, it was a fire having you guys on here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Order food and weed to the studio. I know some rappers, I've seen them order jewels like two, three times in the night. Go to Walgreens, get me a bunch of jewels. Damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah it was. Keep smoking it, we'll figure it out. Alright, much respect to these dudes. What are you gonna say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's made out of a backwood, but yea, it's like just pretty real. Bear Woods. They let him use the name and shit, even though it's pretty close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's actually why it says bear probably now instead of bear woods. Maybe they had to change that up a little bit legally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're only allowed to have one good show a week. You know this. Well, there goes Anthony's good spelling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the reason the drug dealers were feeling so much pressure is because of Sean. He had our people stationed in all the right spots. He's a good fit, he's got good instincts, all the men seem to like him. Except for Mr. C. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry. Better now. Uhm, and by the way, that, uh, something else that you said Sean was, might be focusing on, what are we talking about, Anthony Zakhar? Franco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The wars that have gone on in Afghanistan and Iraq, we had the rise of Islamophobia. That's a huge factor in both the anti-government groups and the militias that rally with firearms outside of mosques, but also the white supremacist groups that hate people of other nations and other skin colors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we've seen happen in the years since that report was released is basically everything that we had predicted has come to fruition. And it's actually worse than what we had anticipated. And I'm afraid that more law enforcement officers, more innocent civilians, more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minorities and faith-based communities are going to be targeted and actually victimized by these violent offenders. It's like every month we have something, whether it's a shooting, a stabbing, uh, even bombings starting to happen now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, our unit got shut down in 09 and then the money started drying up and, uh, so these communities are basically left to fend for themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm glad I didn't know about it, and I don't want to know. Because if I did know, I'd be involved in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cause he sure is in a jam. So you're sympathetic. Oh, very sympathetic. Totally sympathetic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think of Tim McVeigh? Another hero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The white race is in danger. And it's not by accident. It's driven. It's planned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make America great again. In order to make America great again, you'd have to make America white again. Okay? It's interesting. We're headed for interesting times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, they both, they both light up, or maybe next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, lot to get to today. We'll be talking about the Browns later in the show. Should they go after the now-vindicated punt god? And should they go after the...

[Assistant] Quality running back who, uh, Cord Darryl Patterson, who could be available via trade. We'll get to that a little later. The guardians with a win last night to nothing. We'll get to that. What happened there? We'll get to the, uh, the Cavs as well, but we got to begin with my bet there. I lost yesterday.

[Assistant] And on today's podcast, I do talk about the punt god, something we're going to talk about here as well, and the NBA playoffs. Check it out at Bear Rivers.

[Assistant] Alright, so I don't think I've lost baseball two days in a row all year. So I'm going with two games today. Hopefully we go 2-0. Here we go. We got the Mariners. Luis Castillo, since they acquired him from Cincinnati, has been fantastic. The Rangers are having a surprisingly good season, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember who's out. Oh, Dane Dunning is pitching for the Rangers. Dane Dunning was a starter last year. He was okay. He's been in the bullpen the whole year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the Rangers area of weakness is their bullpen. So you have a guy who's been a relief pitcher this year. He's not fully stretched out. He won't go deep into the game. The Mariners are starting to right the ship there. So I like the Mariners to win by two plus runs. And I'm going with a big upset today. The Nationals plus 132. Obviously the Nats have been one of the worst teams in baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but the Giants aren't very good either. They have Sean Manaya going. He's been terrible on the mound. The Nationals have a young pitcher that probably 95% of you have never heard of. His name is Josiah Gray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he is rea- he's a guy who's had a lot of, uh, potential. They got him in one of their- when they were blowing up the team, one of their trades. I can't remember now which one. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a really nice young pitcher, and he's pitched very well so far. Nobody's talking about it because the team sucks, but he's pitched well, so I think they'll win the game today. Alright, there you go. That's the best bets of the day. Mikey, what do you got for us?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Friend of mine is an executive at Lincoln Electric, by the way. It's a great company. They treat their employees very well. So if you are looking for a job, it's a great place to go. Uh, go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what Mike is alluding to is, if you haven't been paying attention this morning, the NFL has released, it's sprinkling out a couple of games, a couple of special games. They've released the London games, they've released the Germany games, because they're playing two games in Germany this year, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's always possible. I think the odds are the game will be, will be meaningful to both teams. Most likely. Well, this is what I will say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, like, if you talk, if you take away like the, obviously there's natural rivalries, Raiders and Chiefs and Steelers and all these, but like, if you talk about rivalries that have been built by the quality of the teams, it's the best


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, in the, in football. I mean, the teams don't like each other. The left tackle for the Chiefs just went to the Bengals this offseason. Like, there's a lot of bad blood there. They've played each other in a lot of big games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get, you guys are right, it's possible that the game won't be meaningful, but I think the odds of that are small. If it happens, well, you're right, and they screwed up. But I think there's a 90% chance that's a meaner. Why couldn't it have been 16?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Falcons, Jaguars, Jaguars, Jaguars, Bills, that's a good game, but the fact that it's in London is whatever. I don't think what about the London games is when they play them at like 930 because it's another window of football to watch another game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NFL radio this morning on Sirius, and I can't remember who was hosting the show, but the guy was saying that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Jacksonville plays a home, so the games in Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are kinda run by the league, almost like, not to the same level, but almost like the Super Bowl. It's almost like kind of a neutral game, even though one team's home. When the Jaguars play a home game in England, it's different. They're the home team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like clearly, like it's their people working the stadium and stuff like that. And apparently there's like a weekly Jaguars football show in England.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Absolutely not. Go ahead Mikey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they get a Thursday nighter and a Monday nighter. Bangles one and the Ravens the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, the team is most important to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the reality is across the league, the Browns this year at the moment are not a huge story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, first of all, to get a lot of primetime games, you have to be an excellent team.
